Press Release--Concluding its search for a Superintendent/Elementary Principal to succeed Interim Superintendent Dr. Brian Gander whose term ends June 30, 2013, the Santiam Canyon School District Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Todd A. Miller has been selected to be the dis-trict’s next Superintendent effective July 1, 2013. Miller and the Board are working on the terms of a tentative agreement that will be finalized at a public meeting. The board anticipates making the official offer for the position at its May 16th special board meet-ing. “Our search for a new superintendent re-sulted in a field of 15 very highly quality applicants. However, Todd Miller emerged as the right choice to be our next Superinten-dent,” Board Chair Dan Lemke said. “He knows our community and embodies the important characteristics identified by our community and staff.” The school board reviewed the candidate applications with the assistance of a screening committee includ-ing administrators, staff, and community. With help from some of the screeners, the board conducted a rigorous round of initial

interviews with several candidates, then, in-vestigated selected candidates’ backgrounds and references. All those interviewed dur-ing the reference checks had high praise for Miller’s knowledge about education and his ability to build relationships. After the back-ground checks, the Board invited Miller and the other finalists for a “day in the district” at Santiam Canyon SD followed by a second interview. Miller distinguished himself in the field of applicants throughout the search process by demonstrating a record of success and knowledge about the Santiam Canyon school community. Before taking the position as Executive Director at Oregon Connections Academy in 2011, he was the Principal at Gates Elementary School for 1 year and Vice Principal at Mill City Middle School for 4 years, both in the Santiam Canyon SD. He serves as a Trainer for the Ford Family Foundation Leadership Program. His teach-ing experience is in special education. Mill-er has a Master of Science degree in Special Education from Western Oregon University and a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from the University of Oregon. In

2013 he was named National Leader of the Year for Connections Academy.

“When I visited the students, staff and com-munity, I just felt re-connected to Santiam Canyon schools. I look forward to building lasting relationships as we move the school district forward. ” Miller said. “I believe we have a tremendous opportunity to get this district back on track and achieve something special for our students. I’m excited about the Board selecting me to be the next super-intendent for Santiam Canyon schools.” From the CW: Congratulations Todd Miller, and welcome aboard!

SCSD School Board selects Todd Miller as next superintendent

Last week residents of the Santiam Canyon held their first ever collaborative Round Table gathering of community leaders. The room was filled with representatives of al-most 2 dozen differing groups and organi-zations who came to share about their goals and activities. The lists of good works and volunteerism rolled out one after another, too many to list, yet each an important cog in the wheel.Much of the focus of discussion was the fu-ture of the N.S. Canyon and its identity. Jill Cohen, a PTO volunteer and OB nurse has great concern about the budget cuts in

the schools, “I see our future literally be-ing born every day, it really concerns me that we stay solid as an educational com-munity,” she said. Yvonne Hanna, a member of several ser-vice groups, pointed to the rich natural re-sources of the Santiam River, “ it is a gift to our community.” “We don’t have an identity at a community, are we a bedroom community for Salem or a Gateway to the mountains? on an entity of its own?” said Derek Ownby, youth pastor for Mill City Baptist. His sentiments were echoed by Dan

Lemke, current school board member, “the greatest need is for the canyon to identify itself.”Ford Family Alumni collaborate a plan Many of the participants of the Roundtable gathering were also graduates of the Ford Family Foundation’s Institute for Commu-nity Building program. The Ford programs hosted five leadership programs throughout the past nine years, boasting 87 local gradu-ates and many more workshop participants. And since 2004 the Ford Family Founda-tion has also awarded 5 full college scholar-ships to local students.

Canyon Espresso My name is Alicia Corey, I am seeking to be elected for the Santiam Canyon school board. I live in Marion Forks and am a mother of two children that attend Santiam Elementary. I am dedicated to our communities and will do whatever it takes to make a brighter future for ALL the children in the Santiam Canyon. I grew up in this Canyon and have seen the difficult decisions that our schools have had to face over the last 20 years. I have a strong passion for our schools and believe it is time for change and to start thinking out of the box. Over the last two years, I have been educating myself on the schools complex budget, taking the time to go through it line by line. I understand the issues we are facing be-cause I have made it a priority to be well-informed. If elected I will exhaust myself in research before making difficult decisions. I will work with the new superintendent and other board members to come up with a strate-gic plan and vision for the District. I will do my best to bring back programs for ALL students that will help them to achieve success as individuals.The Santiam Canyon School District matters! I will commit to rebuild and strengthen our schools in order for them to remain a vital part of our communities!

past 9 years the Ford Foundation has awarded over $303,000 in grants to local organizations and projects. This inspiration and encouragement led to such projects as the Gates and Mill City signage, the Gazebo in Gates, the Gates Fire Hall and Community Center project, the 2008 Renovation of the Santiam Canyon School District High School Gym and the recent Santiam Canyon Grant Writing Workshops. Earlier this spring a group of 30 alumni gathered to celebrate their history of success in partnering with Ford, and looked at the future. They formed a “Go Team” to delve deeper into the potentials.The decision was that later this summer, Mill City-Gates community members will have the opportunity to participate in the Com-munity Leadership and Collaborations Work-shop sponsored by The Ford Family Founda-tion’s Institute for Community Building. Several of the alumni expressed that Mill City-Gates is poised to move forward togeth-er in new and positive ways, and that a work-shop focused on working together effectively will help ensure success. There will be

two sessions, participants will have an oppor-tunity to gain practical information, tools and skills for effective collaboration to strengthen local leadership and support community ef-forts to work together. The sessions will also provide opportunities for peer learning, net-working and sharing ideas. Stay tuned for details on the workshop, as well as more information about the impres-sive history of partnership between The Ford Family Foundation and Mill City-Gates, and the many positive impacts it has created for our community.

In 1936, Kenneth W. Ford pursued a vi-sion with a single sawmill in the southern Oregon community of Roseburg. From his initiative and tenacity grew Roseburg Forest Products Co., one of the largest, family-owned wood products manufac-turers in the nation. The same ingenuity and capacity for hard work that brought Mr. Ford success in the business world also characterized his commitment to “building community.” Hallie E. Ford was a teacher. Like Ken-neth, she believed in a complete and continuing education. Hallie was also a painter, and in later years a patron of the visual arts, leaving a legacy of support to the Oregon “arts ecology.” In 1957, Kenneth and Hallie Ford estab-lished a then modest foundation to give back to the timber communities of south-west Oregon. It grew in size, scope, and geography to become The Ford Family Foundation in 1996, with its main office in Roseburg, Oregon, and its scholarship office in Eugene, Oregon.

New School board coming soonThe current interim Superintendent, Brian

Gander, was hired for a one year term on a trial basis to see if he would be an ap-propriate long term leader for our district. Dr. Gander was not invited to stay with the district, however on May 2 he presented proposed changes he is recommending to the board and budget committee for next year’s budget. The committee was asked to review the proposals and be prepared to discuss them, along with any other options they may have, at the next budget meeting. The meeting is schedule for May 16 im-mediately following the Special Board meeting, which begins at 6pm in the SES commons. The public will have a chance to speak first and are asked to be limited to 3 minutes each. Then, according to Ni-cole Cooper, District Secretary, the budget

committee and the school board will dis-cuss in “more of a roundtable format.” All who wish to address the board must fill out a form prior to speaking. The forms will be available at the meeting. “The budget needs to be finalized and turned into the State by June 30th,” said Cooper who also clarified that it will be the out-going Superintendent and Board who will set the budget for the incoming crew as the newly hired superintendent, Todd Miller, does not officially start his position until July 1.To review the document and come prepared to ask questions you can find the proposed changes here: http://santiam.k12.or.us/documents/Superintendents2013-14Bud-getReductionsRecommendation.pdf

Important SCSD Budget meeting this Thursday

On May 23 a new SCSD board will be formed, replacing at least 4 of the 5 cur-rent members, several of whom have served the community for many years and through thick and thin. The potential incoming, none of them with-out strong background of school support and involvement, are each enthusiastically positive about the potentials of volunteer-ing countless hours of their time under the watchful scrutiny of the community. To all of these brave individuals: Good luck, thank you for offering to serve for our children, and may the best candidates for the jobs win!

These Santiam students, at left, along with Activi-ties Directory Caroline Gillaspy, were a part of the “Kids Making Miracles” @ Doernbecher this past weekend. The students participated in the candlelight procession from OHSU to Doernbecher’s Children’s hospital, along with 600 students from Oregon and SW Washington. Students listened to inspirational speakers, and saw the results of local students and their efforts to raise money for the hospital. This year’s donations were to help purchase equipment for their Intensive care unit for infants. After relight-ing the eternal flame, students traveled to Bullwin-kle’s for pizza and sub sandwichs and FUN! L-R Jacob Zeyen Hall, Melinda Bowman, Shantal Vazquez, Tyler Ferguson and Camille Minton.

The Santiam Canyon School District is seeking nominations for the 2013 Hall of Fame. Nomi-nations can be sent or dropped off at the high school or the district office. There are four categories in which nominations can be made. One is that of a former student. Second is a former staff member (teacher, coach or classified staff). Third is a supporter/booster for the school district. The person (or business) may or may not have attended or worked in the district but did something extraordinary for the district. The last category is that of a former team or group. All nominations should include what was spe-cial about the individual or team and why they should be nominated. It also helps to include supporting facts (newspaper clippings, awards, etc.). Nominations should include the years the nominee was/is associated with the school dis-trict and also some contact information would be helpful. All nominations must be in writing and must be submitted by Monday, June 17, 2013. Please get these nominations to the high school or dis-trict office. After the Hall of Fame committee looks at all the nominations, they will make their decision.

Nominations can come from Mill City, Gates, Detroit and Idanha and those individuals or teams that once represented each of those schools. The Induction Banquet will be held November 9th in conjunction with the alumni tournament weekend. Nominations are due by Monday, June 17, 2013 If a nomination is not selected this year please feel free to submit their name another year.

North Santiam River Report May and early June always have variable weather here, so we expect some good days and some marginal days on the river this season. The North Santiam is magnificent with the Spring greenery and the water has been fairly clear and cold. River runners need to keep track of last minute changes in both weather and river levels. Detroit Lake is almost one foot higher than the full summer level. The dams are capable of comfortably holding up to ten feet of ex-

tra water and they need to be able to release that extra storage in a hurry if the forecasts indicate heavy rain or snowmelt coming on. Our engineers have a good feel for this delicate balance. Perhaps the river level will increase a little as the Lake drops. There is only three inches of snow left at Little Meadows, at 4,000 feet elevation just a mile South of the Lake. Both inflow and outflow at the Lake will drop when that snow is gone. Last week, about 2,200 cubic feet per second flowed into the Lake in the North Santiam arm and the Breitenbush and that volume will probably continue through the week. The river depth at Mehama has been around four and a half feet. Fish counts at Willamette Falls have not been updated since May 3, and we had 3,007 summer steelhead and 8,341 Chinook salmon then. As the water warms, big num-bers will come upstream. Some early Chi-nook and summer steelhead have recently been caught in Mehama and other locations. The next river meeting is Steelheaders Salem on Tuesday May 21 at Keizer Com-

munity Center at 7:00 p.m. North Santiam River Guides Association meets May 22, Wednesday, at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aums-ville at 6:00 p.m. Both meetings will have regular programs, and both will discuss the Learn The River trip from Fishermen’s Bend to Mehama on June1. The rapids are moderate and experienced leaders will show the way. The run from Packsaddle to Fishermen’s Bend will be on June 22. Both the Steelheaders and the River Guides Association will cooperate on a project at Minto Park on May 18 at 9:00 a.m. The new picnic tables will be installed and trail clearing will be done prior to a noontime pot luck with burgers provided. Bring a side dish. Members and guests are invited and encouraged. Additional information about the clubs and activities is available through Bob Lusk, Jin Zelenka, or myself. Call or write for more details. Bill SandersonNorth Santiam River Tripswww.nsrtrips.com.

Mill City laundromat vandalized Rest in Peace dear Annie Hollady

It is with a heavy heart,we are sad to report on the Passing of

Annie Holaday of Mill City.

She died early Wednesday evening, on May 16.

She is a woman who will truly be missed by so many.

Good bye Dear Annie! May you take comfort in knowing the

crminals in the story next door will be caught.

The Mill City Wash-n-Dry was vandalized late Wednesday night as thieves tried in vain to pull change machine off the wall. Alicia Corey, who works mornings next door at the Mountain Edge Cafe, noticed that “It look like a tornado went through there,” as she pulled up to the building. The hapless bandits perhaps didn’t realize that the change ma-chine is actually bolted through the studs of the building and at-tached to steel plates. “It looks like they tried to wrap a chain around

the machine and pull it out with a vehicle. There was sheet rock everywhere, and the studs fell down on them, we even found some blood where someone must have got-ten hit by the boards,” said Theresa Kirsch,

the business owner.According to Kirsch noth-ing actually got stolen, but over there was over $10,000 in damage to the building. No witnesses have come forward and no suspects have been apprehended as of yet. If you have any information please call the Linn County Sheriffs Of-fice.

By Michelle Gates While most people will be hitting Detroit Lake this weekend for the Fishing Derby, others will be there just for the prizes. Traditionally, the local business associa-tion offers up a fishing boat to their grand prize raffle winner, and this year is no dif-ferent. It’s probably the biggest reason people buy tickets at the event. But others have their eye on the local art that’s up for grabs, too - like a recycled metal art piece by Troy Whitney, a former 20 year Mill City resident. Titled “MountainTop”, it was once a full functioning saw blade that could have been used in local logging operations. Now, it’s found a new purpose as a distinct piece of wall art,ready to adorn one lucky winner’s home, thanks to Whitney’s creativity. Whitney specializes in taking used metal items and repurposing them into scenes that idealize country living through his company TW Custom Recycled Metal Art. And this year, he’s decided to donate the saw blade piece, valued at $150, to the raf-fle that supports the Detroit Lake Business Association and through it’s efforts, the Idanha-Detroit Fire Department. Other prizes are also up for grabs: two handmade, salmon-themed sculptures in metal and wood (valued at $250 and $80, respectively), girls and boys bicycles, fish-ing poles, gift cards to places like Java Stop, and many others. Tickets for the raffle are $2 each or 3/$5.00, said Bob Franz. The raffle opens at the start of the Fishing Derby on May 17, and ticket holders must be present to win at the Grand Prize Ceremony on Sunday, May 19 at 3pm. Funds will be used for the

Local artwork up for grabs up at Fishing Derby this weekend

Fish on! That’s what many people will be hoping to yell the weekend of the 31st Annual Detroit Lake Fishing Derby. Loads of prizes will be awarded to proud fishers May 17-18-19th at Detroit Lake. Adults grand prize will be a Smokercraft boat and trailer. Girls and Boys grand prizes are bicycles. Registration willbuy three full days of fishing fun with an awards ceremony on the last day. The Fishing Derby is sponsored by the De-troit Lake Are Business Association. Dean

O’Donnell, president of DLRABA, says he expects “a record turnout this year!” He has also ordered “nice weather, but can’t guar-entee it.” DLRBA has diligently put on this com-munity event to raise funds for the annual Fireworks Over the Lake, a July celebra-tion. Information about the Fishing Derby, Fireworks Over the Lake and other Detroit events can be found at www.detroitlakeore-gon.org, DLRABA’s website. Registration begins May 17th at 6am at the City Hall in Detroit. Come early as the first 400 registrants receive a free collectible hat!

Former Mill City resident Troy Whitney donated this recycled metal art piece titled “MountainTop”, valued at $150, to the De-troit Fishing Derby raffle, to help support area tourism and emergency response efforts. Tickets are 3/$5 and ticket holders must be present to win on Sunday, May 19 at 3pm.

Detroit Ranger District news

From the Desk of the RangerSpring is the season when hidden things emerge. Animals come down from the hills, blossoms burst into view and long-absent warmth draws people outside for a first glimpse of the beautiful trillium or the budding rhododendron. In the mountains, snow melts to expose ground obscured for months. Boats full of eager fishermen wait for Detroit Lake to rise enough for renewed activity.The lake is once again full and ready for boating action. Already this week, a sail-boat could be seen on the water. The lake was stocked last week with 10,000 legal sized trout. The Detroit Lake Fishing Derby is always a popular weekend. This year it runs for three days, from May 17-19. Come out and enjoy all that nature has to offer. What a great opportunity to be outdoors, taking in the amazing mountains around us and be on the lake spending time indulging in some good fishing.When you’re out there on our beautiful lake, do take care. Keep your own safety and the safety of others in mind. Wear life vests with a whistle attached and stay vigi-lant of accidents. The extremely cold wa-ter this time of year can be dangerous. A good day on the water would not end well in the emergency room. Stay clear of other anglers. And avoid alcohol use when recre-ating. Operating a boat on the water should be treated with the same caution and respect you show when driving a car on land.Always think, safety first. And have a won-derful time whatever you are doing in the great outdoors.

Detroit Area Burns Completed for Spring

Assistant Fire Management Officer, Nanci Curtis, announced that Spring Prescribed Burning on the Detroit Ranger District has been completed for this year. Last week a 12 acre timber sale unit off of Forest Ser-vice Road # 2257, 2.5 miles south of Marion Forks was burned successfully. Prescribed burning techniques remove debris left after a timber sale and minimize fire behavior ef-fects in the event of a wildfire. The idea behind a prescribed burn is to re-

duce the amount of fine fuel on the ground and in the forests. Returning fire to the land-scape benefits the ecosystem by providing a healthier, more fire-resilient forest which enables new growth and continued wildlife habitat. A planned burn also gives firefighters an op-portunity to improve their abilities to pro-tect homes and the public. Presently, the fire crew is mopping up the area, making sure all fire danger is past and no lingering hot spots remain. This fire completes the prescribed burns for the Detroit area until the fall season at which time another three acres may be burned to increase wildlife forage and habitat.

Teens Get Down and DirtyHow do you engage teens in the great out-doors? You give them a job and let them get wet and dirty. That’s what fourteen teens from the Salem Boys and Girls Club did, along with their instructors, in late April of this year. They headed for the hills one morning and volunteered to help the forest-ers at the Detroit Ranger District plant trees. The students arrived on a cold and rainy day, dressed in outdoor gear, ready to go. They had a briefing on why they were plant-ing trees and why the red cedars were go-ing in the ground. At a unit which had re-cently been cleared and was ready for new growth, the students planted 400 trees and surrounded the new trees with plastic tubes to protect them from deer and other wild-life that would love to nibble on the tender young branches. They then proceeded to another unit which they had planted the year before and worked on tube maintenance of the older trees. This was the second year that group leaders Jessica Otjen, Senior Branch Director and Work Readiness Specialists Justin Pomer-eke and Katie Plumb brought students out to learn what it takes to work in the woods. And once again, the students and staff had a great time. In order for the kids to be released from

classes, they needed to be students in good standing at their high schools. The program allows young people to develop work skills and begin getting hands-on experience in various fields, as well as be exposed to many different jobs. Jonathan Karner, senior at West Salem High School said, “I had fun last year plant-ing trees because it’s not something I usu-ally get to do. I was excited to go back out into the woods and finish the work we start-ed last year.”Larae Guillory, fuels technician for the De-troit Ranger District, was very pleased to have the extra help in getting spring plant-ings done. Sue Crowder, forestry technician, Nanci Curtis, assistant fire management of-ficer and Stan Kelly, forestry technician from Sweet Home Ranger District worked alongside the students and had as much fun as they did. After a few hours of planting, it was time to-warm up and chow down with chili and corn bread furnished by the fire folks. Everyone left, tired, dirty, but very satisfied with a job well done. T3: Training Teens for Tomorrow is part of the Youth Opportunity System funded by Job Growers Incorporated and is a partner of WorkSource Oregon.

PUBLIC NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN MILL CITY Control of Noxious Vegetation Required

Mill City Municipal Code Section 8.04.080 requires property owners to control and eliminate noxious vegetation on property within the city limits from May 15 to Sep-tember 30 each year. No owner or person in charge of property shall allow noxious vegetation to be on the property or in the right of way of a public thoroughfare abut-ting on the property. An owner or person in charge of property shall cut down or destroy grass, shrubbery, brush, bushes, weeds or other noxious vegetation as often as needed to prevent them from becoming unsightly, from becoming a fire hazard, or, in the case of weeds or other noxious vegetation, from maturing or from going to seed. The term “noxious vegetation” includes, (a) Weeds or grass more than 10 inches high. (b) Poison oak or poison ivy. (c) Blackberry bushes that extend into a public thoroughfare or across a property line. (d) Vegetation that is either a health hazard, fire hazard, or a traffic hazard because it impairs the view of a public thoroughfare or otherwise makes use of the thoroughfare hazardous. The control of noxious vegetation is the property owner’s responsibility. However,

the city is willing to abate the nuisance on a particular parcel of property at the request of the owner or person in charge of the prop-erty for a fee sufficient to cover the city’s abatement costs. Even in the absence of such requests, the city may abate all such nuisances 10 or more days after publica-tion of this notice and charge the cost to the property owner or to the person in charge of the property or to the property itself. The purposes of the city’s ordinance are to encourage property owners to eliminate fire hazards which can be caused when high grass and noxious vegetation is close to combustible structures buildings and to im-prove the appearance of the city’s residential neighborhoods. Mayor Kirsch and the City Council thank you in advance for complying with the city ordinance.
