On November 10, fifty-six individuals were inducted into the Santiam High School Hall of Fame and honored with a banquet. The Hall of Fame was started 10 years ago to recognize outstanding accomplishments by former students, both during school and post Santiam era, recognize outstanding staff, and those who have helped support the school district over the years. It is also to recognize a former outstanding team. The 2012 inductees include: Scott Hanson, MD a former student who now works on the hospi-tal psychiatry consulta-tion service at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle. He also teaches as a faculty member of the UW School of Medi-cine. David W. Murhammer, Ph.D. a former student recognized for his dedi-cation and achievements

in higher education, and having a significant impact in the field of Chemical Engineering. April Molly Richards-Brock a fourth gen-eration Santiam High School graduate and Registered Nurse in LaGrande who was rec-ognized for her achieve-ments while enrolled at

Santiam High School and her continued edu-cation, work, and citizenship. Janice and Mike Long, a couple who give countless hours in service to the community and schools and founded the Youth Benefit Golf Tournament which just this past August, surpassed $100,000 in funding for scholarships and pro-

grams for the youth in the Santiam Canyon. The one large group honored

was the 1994 Santiam High School unde-feated Tri-River Conference champions and Class 2A state runner-up football team. There were 51 players on that team, nearly one-half the number of boys in the school. There was a unique camaraderie on the team that even spilled over to give suc-cess to state playoff basketball and baseball teams and championship wrestlers and track participants. The team enjoyed almost un-believable family and

Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies have identified what appears to be a serial burglar operating in the De-troit Lake resort area. With the end of summer, many of the Detroit Lake residents leave their vacation homes and return to work in the city. These vacation homes, along with homes that are posted for sale, have become the target of a suspected burglar who is breaking in and “living” in them for days at a time. Six burglaries have been reported

in the past week, but deputies note that the owners are often unable to narrow down a time frame for when the crime was committed since they haven’t been to their homes in weeks or even months. Entry is gained by prying doors and breaking windows. The bur-glar targets homes without alarm systems. While staying in the houses, the burglar makes himself comfort-able, showering, eating food and drinking liquor he finds stored

there. He also takes camping gear, blankets, clothing and other staples when he leaves. On virtually every case, the suspect used a wheelbar-row to transport the stolen items. Deputies have dubbed him the “Wheelbarrow Burglar”. On October 28th a homeowner ar-rived at his cabin on North Santiam Highway in Idanha and discovered man sleeping in the master bed-room. When confronted, the man hurriedly fled, leaving behind some personal property

– is that many of the current owners of these structures want obscene amounts of money to sell their properties or are asking for as-tronomical rents to let them. In some cases, the Oregon Department of Transportation has made restrictions for their commercial use impossible or Marion County authorities have placed insurmountable building code demands on viable business development. So here in the canyon we continue to live with the blight and the unsightly scenes of an area struggling to grow and prosper among the skeletons of failure and disappointments of deprivation. We accept what we cannot or will not change and despair. There are those who are more in-terested in profit and gain than the communi-ty’s welfare and reputation. Some would say that they are selfish and greedy. Others would say that they are primarily concerned with their investment and loss of value. But what value is there in decay and deterioration? I believe such an approach bleeds the life out of a community. I believe that we are lesser for it and those that help contribute to it are too! Terry Samuel, Gates Residents of Detroit will be voting on Dec.

4 in a special election to determine if “sub-stantive changes” should be made to their residency requirements for city officials. Measure 24-350, asks voters if the city should require the mayor and at least four other councilors to be full time residents of Detroit, according to Marion County Elec-tions documents. A significant number of Detroit homeowners do not reside year-round in the recreation based town. “I want to see good people elected, who enjoy the city,” said resident Kevin Hills. If approved, the mayor and select council-ors would need to have lived in the city for over six months a year, receive mail in De-troit and have a state identification showing

Detroit residency. The measure also requires that no more than two councilors may be “non-primary residents,” which is a person who lives in Detroit for less than six months of the year. Both mayor and councilor would be required to maintain Detroit voter reg-istration and attend meetings on a regu-lar basis, if the measure passes. Being absent from three regular meetings a year would create a vacancy for that position. The measure would also limit paid city employees from holding office, elected or appointed, and prohibits city council from meeting without a mini-mum number of councilors present. It

also states that the Municipal Judge may not hold another city office, and their power is restricted.

The face of Mill City: Hwy 22 is Dead & Decaying, but why? Drive along Highway 22 through Mill City and beyond -- what do you see? You sight building after vacant build-ing either decaying or boarded up. The signs broken or peeling. The weeds grow high during the summer and trav-elers probably marvel why there is so much blight in this rural segment? Is this a pocket of poverty, unable to resuscitate itself -- perhaps in a death spiral? A savvy business person might think there seems to be opportunity here. Why doesn’t someone take ad-vantage of it? These locations beg for development. Only someone in the know or privy to the rumors which flutter about the community get a glimpse into an untold story, the truth behind the locked doors and broken windows. What I am told

Walking through the doors of Mill City Fire Department Saturday night felt like entering a giant family reunion with so many famil-iar faces gathered in one spot. The 68th An-nual Firemen’s Benefit has become so popu-lar that its pull as a homecoming gathering for locals and former canyon-ites may be rivalling the 4th of July celebrations. The ongoing Bingo games through the night offered the chance to win a Thanksgiv-

ing turkey or ham, while the volunteers and their friends and families served up plates full of their famous “gut-bombs” - grilled burgers piled high with sauteed onions and bell peppers. The Santiam International Club was there entertaining the younger crowd with games of their own. “All these volunteers are a great bunch that we can count on each year. It takes a lot of people to put this event on

and we have a great bunch of people to do it,” said Mill City Fire Chief, Leland Ohrt. Winning numbers for the night are: Turkey - 8875, 5253, 4083, 9732, 9763. Ham - 8384, 3298, 9426, 3389, 1752. Bacon - 7011, 1694, 5811, 5061, 228. Gift Certificate - 1351, 4229, 6222, 5500, 5082. $50 - 1191, 7470. $100 - 9312, 7593. The Canyon Weekly is not responsible for errors in number transposition.

that assisted us in identifying him. The owner was able to snap a cell phone photo of the suspect as he fled. The suspect in these burglaries has been identified as 33-year old Billie Jo Shrader. Shrader is a transient who is described as 5-9, 190, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a full beard. Shrader has a criminal record for burglary and trespassing, and is wanted in Curry County for a Parole Violation. He is not known to have access to a vehicle. Deputies are asking the residents of Detroit Lake to watch out for Shrader and to report any sightings to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office by dialing 911. Anyone with any other information they’d like to pass along to deputies is encouraged to email Sr. Deputy Shawn Bush at Sbush@co.marion.or.us.

Editors Note: This week’s River Report was written before the heavy rains on Monday and Tuesday, and

river flows are likely much higher than re-ported here. Please know before you go. The North Santiam is high this week and will drop when the rain slows down. De-troit Lake needs to store the extra rainwater to prevent flooding downstream, but Detroit Lake also needs to drop down ten feet more to the Winter flood control level. The regula-tors have a balancing act this week, and they comment that their forecasts are variable and change quickly this time of year. Storms this week may bring extra rain water into the lake, but the snowpack is light. Detroit Lake has been dropping one to four feet daily at the high releases, and it needs to drop another 10 feet to get to the winter flood control level. We have 13 days and several storms between now and December first, when the low level is scheduled to arrive. Today, river temperature flowing into De-troit Lake was from 42 to 44 degrees. River temp. flowing out of Detroit (at Niagara and Packsaddle) was from 49.6 up to 50.3. There will be a new river forecast posted some time Monday, Nov. 18. It would be good to check flows right before river trips. Steelheaders Salem Chapter meets Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 7:00 p.m. at Keizer Community Center. Thanksgiving is on November 22 this year, and it is officially the start of Win-

ter Steelheading. We already have a few new steelhead over Willamette Falls. North Santiam River Guides Associa-tion meets on November 28 at 6:00 p.m. at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aumsville. It is important for boaters to give their opinions about the boat ramp at Packsaddle Park. Modifications are needed so boats can row out into the river from the end of the shallow ramp, and salmon spawn needs to be protected. We know that our members are capable of giving advice on possible changes, and we need our ideas to be formulated before a January meeting with Fish and Wildlife. They have grant money available and want to consider our recom-mendations. Steelheaders Salem Chapter Board meets on Wednesday December 5 at 6:30 p.m. at Wholesale Sports. Members are invited to attend, and we need some new board mem-bers and some new projects and clinics for the club to help organize. Salem Steelheaders Salem Chapter has a pot luck dinner with the meeting on December 18. The Chapter will provide prime rib and ham, and members will bring side dishes. Jim Zelenka sent an email flyer to all members, but you can call for more info if necessary. At Upper Bennett Dam, the boat slide has a jagged drop off at the bottom and is awk-ward but usable. There are quite a few fish in the drift 500 feet below the dam. With the high water, it is a quick trip from Mehama to Stayton.

The Willamette National Forest has many wonderful places to explore. One new gem is Sardine Creek. If you enjoy flowing water and beautiful forest scenery Sardine Creek is a great place to visit. Sardine Creek feeds into Big Cliff Reser-voir about a 1/2 mile east of the dam. It’s the first left after the dam off of Hwy 22 on an unmarked turnoff. Access is via a non-maintained gravel road. The first few miles are easily driven in a vehicle with de-cent ground clearance and 2-WD. As the road con-tinues it becomes steeper, has many water bars, loose rocks and water crossings. To reach the upper portions of Sardine Creek, we rec-ommend a 4-WD vehicle. For the first couple of miles the road is next to the creek. It’s easy to spend a day hiking and take pictures in this section. The road begins climbing above the creek. In this section there are some smaller falls

on the creek, although they need nota-ble bushwhacking to get there. As you drive, you hear the roar of the creek, have nice views across the canyon and depending on time of year; water cas-cading down here and there. At about the 4 mile mark, there is a junc-tion. Go left. Continuing straight is an ad-venture for another day. The next section

has bigger wa-ter bars, but they are easily crossed. About 1 1/2 miles past the junction you come to a creek cross-ing. The creek here is fun to explore only requiring mild

bushwhacking with some good

photo opportunities. Most of the year, the creek crossing is nothing to worry about. At times of high flows and snow it may not

be advisable. From here it is about one mile up can-yon back to Sardine Creek. This section, although not difficult, requires 4WD. With snow and running water on the trail, pro-ceed with caution or hike the last stretch. Reaching Sardine creek is normally the end of the line. There is good bushwhack-ing hiking both up and down stream with many good photo opportunities. If you venture across Sardine Creek, go ahead with caution. The last part of the crossing drops into a hole, the last time I was there it had added a boulder; making things interesting. We winched it out, but you never know what will wash down next. At one time, the trail on the other side climbed to the top of the canyon and con-nected with 2111 – the road to Rocky Top. A washout happened several years back close to the top making the way impassable.

Santiam parent teacher group organizes, seeks volunteers

An official Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is form-ing in the Santiam Canyon School District and they are looking for some volunteers. It’s a young organization, the bylaws are still being formed, and all community members are invited to join in the pro-cess of making Santiam School district a place people would choose for their children. Volunteers are welcomed in all sorts of forms! From sort-ing library books to teaching music lessons, from tutoring to teaching art. Recently the PTO sent out surveys to the teachers regarding what sort of volunteers help they could use. The list includes help with: reading, writing, math, arts/crafts, correcting work, preparing packets, class par-ties, tracing “book-it” min-utes, Center Time, office help,and fundraising. Anyone

who has special skills they have a yearning to share are highly encouraged to do so! The PTO just had their third meeting November 5 where the team of parents and teach-ers discussed goals of restor-ing the playground at San-tiam Elementary, exploring a peer tutoring and homework network, encouraging career readiness with volunteer men-tors, and possibly becoming their own non-profit entity. The SCSD PTO is also look-ing for a volunteer Treasurer. To volunteer please call Ro-berta Beldon, the PTO Volun-teer Coordinator at 971-209-8594. If you’d like to learn more about the PTO you can visit their Facebook page: Santiam Canyon SD PTO and a web site is coming in the near future. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, November 28 at 6:30.

Volunteer musician, Terri Crall (pictured right) of Mill City, has been working with the Mrs. Sexton’s and Mrs. Plott’s third grade classes at Santiam Elementary for about ½ hour each week. This week they presented the school with a beautiful presentation of American Folk songs that Terri also used to teach the kids about Geography and History. Thank you Terri Crall for presenting our children with the gift of music!

The Santiam High School Wolverettes Dance Team placed second in two separate categories this past weekend at West Albany High School, advancing them to be able to qualify for Category Championships on December 1 at Tualatin High School. The girls presented their routines: “Safe and Sound” in the Lyrical Division and “Ghost Busters” in Nov-elty in which they placed second against schools that were 5A and 6A. Santiam is a 2A school. “We are really excited about going again (to category championships) and taking not just one routine, but both,” said first year head coach Kaytlyn Stinson. Pictured here in their Ghost-Busting outfits, the 2012-13 Santiam Wolverettes. Left to right, top row: Kristin Mouser, Lauren Hebing, Breanna Duncan, Mary Scalf, Mayuka Ishida, and Elyse Davis.

Santiam High International Club Bazaar brings out vendors and holiday cheer

Mrs. Franklin’s first grade class at Mari-Linn School in Lyons held their annual Thanks-giving Feast earlier this week to celebrate the holiday season with hand crafted costumes made from paper bags, complete with head-bands that proclaimed their Native American

name, like Dancing Star, Little Buck and Bear Claw. The twenty children feasted in their classroom with a traditional Thanks-giving meal, thanks to school volunteers.

Next time you’re in downtown Mill City wander over next to the Pharmacy on Broad-way where the City Hall was recently housed for an artistic treat. There you’ll find a brightly lit window display of the whimsical works of Mary Wangerin. Mary lives in Mill City with her husband, Karl and Leo the cat. In 2009, she gradu-ated from OSU with a degree in interior design then soon fell in love with painting and never looked back. She started working part time at Mill City Pharmacy, and shared her love of art with her new employers, Kathy and Randy Mickey who readily agreed to display her works at their building next door. “I absolutely love her work!” says Kathy Mickey enthusiastically, de-scribing it as “an absolutely beautiful blend of color and

light. I have one on my wall at home and it is definitely one of my favorites.” Mary’s paintings are mostly mixed media on canvas: acrylics, vintage papers, collage-with inspirational quotes and messages woven through. “It’s my num-ber one passion, I paint every day.” says Mary who in addition to all things crafty also loves to hike the local trails. All of Mary’s displayed art is for sale with prints starting at $18 to origi-nals up to $300. She’s recently had several successful shows in Portland and Florence and also has an ongoing online sale at her Etsy shop, www.etsy.com MaryWangerin.

Victor Emil ChristensenJuly 18, 1917 – November 9, 2012

Obituary Victor Emil Christensen, 95, of Mehama passed away November 9, 2012 in Stayton at Lakeside Assisted Living Center with his wife Joyce at his side. Victor was born to Soren Christensen and Sena (Anderson) Christensen on July 18, 1917 in Askov, MN the second of four chil-dren. An Army veteran of WWII, Victor’s talents for baking breads, pastries and cakes were discovered. He was assigned the head baker in the kitchens of several Army bases including Camp Pendleton, where he was proud to have the responsibility of cooking and baking tens of thousands of soldiers a delicious meal and dessert before shipping out for the fighting in Europe. Between 1956 to 1976, Victor was bak-er and owner of four separate bakeries in Rochester, MN, Atascadero, CA and Cot-tage Grove, OR. October 1964 Victor bought a large farm outside Lebanon, OR

where he raised cattle, and pigs; grew and harvested wheat, oats, barley, and hay. In 1973, Victor planted his first Christmas trees that began his next career. He was a member of the Oregon Christmas Tree Growers Assoc. In 1976, Victor dedicated his time to growing Christmas trees and selling them on his lot in Fremont, CA until he retired in 1998. On June 25, 1983 Victor married his beloved Joyce (Wilcox) Christensen. She worked by his side trim-ming, harvesting and selling the Christmas trees. They retired to their dream home on the Little North Fork River in Mehama, OR. Victor and Joyce lived their life together

enjoying dancing, camping, traveling abroad. Victor is sur-vived by: Beloved wife, Joyce Christensen; sister, Edna (Chris-tensen) Edwards; daughters, Bonnie Ficken (Mike), Grand Marais, MN, Elaine Woodruff, Blue Earth, MN, Ava Jan Grau-er (Dennis), Sheridan, Roxann Donaldson, Almont, MI, Gail McDaniel (Edmond) and Tammy Christensen both of Lebanon; nephew, Ford Edwards; niece, Valerie (Edwards) Wildman (Da-

ryl) of CA; 8 grandchildren; 6 great grand-children. Daughter, Vicky; parents, Soren and Sena; sister, Alma; son-in-law, Mickey Donaldson; and brother, Herman, preceded Victor in death. Services were held November 16, 2012 at Stayton United Methodist Church.

There are three mys-teries about football that really confound me. The first mystery has to do with the name of a position known as “Offensive Tackle.” Art Shell was

one of the greatest Offensive Tackles in the his-tory of the NFL. If you look up Art Shell in the NFL Hall of Fame you will see him listed as an Offensive Tackle. Now why would anyone in his right mind call a player an “Offensive Tackle”? Ask any football fan what happens when an of-fensive player tackles anybody. The ref blows a whistle, calls the player’s number and marches off a 15 yard penalty for Holding! It’s against the rules for any player on offense to tackle a defensive player. Offensive players are simply not allowed to tackle defensive players. Period!I notice that the rosters for the Ducks and Bea-vers list OL for Offensive Lineman and they don’t bother with Offensive Guards or Offensive Tackles. What would you expect? Both Oregon teams are taking the lead in elevating College Football to new levels of speed and precision. Why not take the lead in updating the names for Offensive Linemen? The next mystery has to do with “Intentional Grounding.” According to the official NFL rules: “Intentional Grounding of a forward pass is a foul: loss of down and 10 yards from previous spot if passer is in the field of play or loss of down at the spot of the foul if it occurs more than

10 yards behind the line or safety if passer is in his own end zone when ball is released.” Duh? This sounds like bureaucratic lingo to me. But consider those late game strategies where the QB wants to stop the clock, so he waves his arms, the offense lines up, the Center snaps the ball and the QB quickly and very intention-ally spikes it. Wow! No whistle! No penalty! Sometimes a long pass is penalized as Intention-al Grounding but intentionally spiking the ball is OK? I’m sure this is no mystery to millions of fans all over America, but it is to me. The third mystery has to do with a new posi-tion you see a lot more often in College and Pro Football. For some reason TV announcers or Sportswriters never mention it. This seems like an oversight a crafty dude like me can quickly fix. This “no name” thing has to do with those players that have hair is so long it covers their name and number. A few years ago this wasn’t a problem because the players weren’t afraid to get a haircut. So I’ve decided to end this mystery by giving a name for this position that fits in with all the traditional names used for guys in the backfield. We have had Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Fullbacks and Tail Backs as long as I can re-member. So why not call them “Hairy Backs”. If their hair is long enough to cover their names and numbers, they automatically should be re-ferred to as a “Hairy Back.” Period! The solution is simple: Lower their name to their shirt tails, and put their number on their rumps.

Ready to earn your Thanksgiving Din-ner? Maybe start a new fun family tradi-tion to go burn off calories before the big feast while celebrating a worthy cause? Well do we have an opportunity for you! Come join in on the first ever Turkey Trot, a Thanksgiving morning 3 run/walk to benefit our local dog rescue, Goodfellas Rescue. There are no entrance fees, and no T-shirt giveaways, but the organizers at Ark Animal Care suggest participants consider making a donation of dog food, treats, supplies or cash to the rescue. The run/walk will start at Kimmel Park in Mill City with registration at 8:40am. “This is a last minute idea, so we’re not very organized, but we will do better next year! Not many prizes.....just a fun get together to help a great cause.” said Keri Sanders, veterinarian at Ark Animal Care. GoodFellas Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)3 Bully Breed Rescue in Mill City, dedicated to education, community out-reach and providing quality care to res-cued dogs. In addition to taking in dogs and nurtur-ing them to be adoptable, GoodFellas is working to make sure many local pets who do not even have dog food to eat can be gifted some holiday cheer. “There are many dedicated dog owners in the area that for one reason or another are down on their luck and are having to making some hard decisions. If they can’t afford to feed their pets the only op-

tion might be to sur-render them to a shelter,” said Danielle Black, president of GoodFellas. “We strive to keep pets with their people when possible.” They also have started an education out-reach program to give kids tools to know how to be safe around dogs. It’s called Be a Tree Dog Bite Prevention Program and is now available free to local schools The “Be a Tree” program is an innova-tive and interactive dog bite prevention education program created by the non-profit organization Doggone Safe. Half of all children are bitten by a dog by the time they are 12 years old. Most bites are by the family dog or other dog known to the child and can be prevented through education. Instead of telling children “don’t do this and don’t do that”, the Be a Tree program empowers them with the knowledge they need to make safe decisions based on the body language and the actions of the dog and the situation at hand. The central message of the program is “Be a Tree” (stand still and quiet and don’t look at the dog) if a strange dog approaches or any dog is causing concern or becoming too frisky. Actual dogs are not brought to the classroom, for insurance purposes.
