“A momentous occasion,” are words spoken infrequently - and reserved for occasions that deserve such. Friday afternoon, the ribbon to the doors of the new Mill City City Hall was cut by Mayor Tim Kirsch with Mill City’s favorite citizen, Josephine Reid. The event was indeed momentous. The ribbon cutting was preceded by an official dedication of a public building by Masons from through-out the area, with officers from the Grand Lodge proceeding. They pre-sented the city with a plaque to adorn the new hall, and blessed the build

with urns of corn, wine and oil. They then deemed the building squared, plumbed and level. Girls from the Mill City Christian Church then sang the Star Spangled Banner perfectly under the guid-ance of Carolyn Fry, while the crowd watched on from the new sidewalk. Stepping through the doors into the main hall, people were greeted with a wash of natural light. The tall ca-thedral ceilings are graced by beauti-ful custom art glass lighting fixtures, made by Bill Bassett of Mill City and Gary Swanson of Gates. The main focal (cont’d on page 8)

The event brought lovebirds from

around the state, including Autumn

Mozingo, 19, of Chehalis and Chad Seegmiller, 24, of

Stayton - who came up just for the show.

In one the more spectacular shows out there, the Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association brought more than just fireworks last Saturday, they brought an event the literally rocked the canyon walls. With the unique topography of the hills around Detroit Lake, each round of fire-works not only lit up the skies, it rocked the eardrums with echos - as each blast created an acoustic show that reverber-ated up and down the lake. The annual Fireworks Over the Lake June 30 packed the town of Detroit, the campgrounds and the lake. Over 40 boats with celebrating mariners gath-ered east of Piety Island to watch the

Families gathered at a beach near Kanes Marina to watch the boats moor east of Piety Island. The fireworks were set off the of east of this beach, near Detroit Flats.

show as it was set off near De-troit Flats. The show is funded by the an-nual Detroit Lake Fishing Derby and by visitor donations.

The Cascade Foothills Saturday Faire is back this summer, and in a new location. For three years, the marketplace for local artists, crafters and farmers was held in Gates. This Saturday, July 7, the Faire will try out a new location in Mehama, right off Hwy 22 in the green space surrounding the new Antiques and Collectible Store (the old Branch Equipment building right across the Hwy from Gene’s Meat Mar-ket.) “I think this new location may work out just great,” said Joyce Trout, the event co-ordinator, who cited complaints of wind gusts that knocked over booths as one of

the deciding fac-tors to find a new space. “There is plenty of space for booths and park-ing, and I don’t think the wind is a factor here.”

Upcoming Saturday Faire dates are: July 7, August 4 and September 1 from 9:30am to 5:30pm. Vendor opportunities are still available for any of the events. Booth space is $30 for one event, or $80 for all three. Have some hand crafted goods, home grown veggies, or inspired art to sell? Delectable treats and musical talents welcome too! Info: Joyce at 503-897-3116 or email [email protected]. See you at the Faire!

Ranger Dan and helpers lead 44 bikers in a safety ob-stacle class at Fishermen’s Bend Campground last Sat-urday. Almost all the events at Fisherman’s Bend are free and open to the general pub-lic, not just folks who are camping there. Join Ranger Dan on Fri-day night for stargazing at the Cottonwoods Ball Bark. Starts after dark, weather per-mitting – and it may actually permit this week. And please remember the gates go-ing into the park close at 10pm, you can still get out of the park at any time. On Saturday, July 7, 3pm, it’s Creepy Crawly Day at the Educational Center. “We should have 8 painted lady butter-flies ready to release into the wild from our butterfly pavilion,” said Khrystyl

Best (Mrs. Ranger Dan). Please call ahead to sign up at office 503-897-2171 – Class size is limited to 25, but we will do a second class if we fill up. All are welcome. Then Saturday at 8:30pm, don’t miss this good old fashioned, and a bit spooky, Campfire Sing-A-long and Legend of Skookum Canyon Showat the amphithe-ater. All are invited! Come join the fun!

Our dad, Douglas A. Mentze, 92, died June 20, 2012, with family by his side in Oregon City, Oregon. Douglas was born May 19, 1920, in Bell-flower, Missouri to Simon and Maggie Mentze. He was a medic in the Army during World War II. After the war he attended Central Bible College in Springfield, Mis-souri, graduating in 1951. Dad ministered and served in Idaho, Wash-ington, and Or-egon. His time of formal minis-try spanned the years of 1951 to 1985. He is survived by his six chil-

dren; Judy, Earl, Rick, Gary, Mark and Duane, 16 grand-children, and 25 great grand-children. Thank you friends of the fam-ily for all your love and care and good times over the years. As you know and understand, dad has gone home.

If you’re looking for great views, this is the perfect hike for you. The panoramic view fea-tures Mt Hood, Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack, Coffin, Washington and The Three Sisters as well as glimpses as far west as the coast range. Located high on the ridge above Detroit Lake, you’ll find evidence of the former lookout that used to adorn the top of the rock. The 5.2 mile round trip hike climbs 1550 ft. on a narrow, but well cut path. The top of the dome is relatively flat and offers a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the mountains. Multiple switchbacks and fall risk from the top of Dome Rock, make this trail unsuitable for small children.Getting There: Travel east toward De-troit Lake and turn north onto French Creek Rd (just before you cross the bridge into Detroit). Follow the paved road for 4.2 miles then stay left on Rd 2223 (turns to gravel). Continue to follow the road another 3.8 miles until you see the trail marker on the side of the road. There is no signage here, only a small marker for

the trail. Park at the roadside and scram-ble up the small hill then stay left. After a short distance the trail forks. Stay to the left at the fork (the trail to the right dumps down to Tumble Lake and is very steep). Continue on the trail until you come to another fork. There is a wooden sign on the tree with a pink marker tied to it. Turn left again, heading up the hill on the switchbacks. There are several little side trails that give you a view of the area, but keep to the main trail to reach the top of the dome. Have fun and enjoy the view!

Summer weather will be here starting Wednesday. Summer steelhead are al-ready here. What else do we need for quality recreation? Predictable good river lev-els are one other factor, and it appears that will also ma-terialize. Trips on all river sections between Packsaddle Park and Santiam Rest Stop at the I-5 bridge were excel-lent last week, and they will be even better with lower water next week. Although lower river runs are good, many boaters will be anx-ious to run the upper sec-tions because they are in very good shape for the first time in many weeks. An eagle often cruises nearby in the area of Minto Bar. Several nests in recent years have been removed by high winds, but the big birds are back and we have

not located the new nest. Other eagles have been ob-served in DeWitt Canyon in the area of the shoal. Per-haps they like to pick fish from the shallow water. A dozen osprey often fly by on our trips, and there are a few Heron still here. A deer swam across the river just a hundred yards below the boat half a mile above Neal Park recently. The deer acted as if we were inconsequential to it’s activities. We did not see any fawns, and the deer dis-appeared into the area with the new landslide. A very fresh and feisty summer steelhead grabbed our fly on a recent trip. We got the Purple Matuka fly back after a strong run up-stream after some jumping and running. It was a thrill to watch the take, and our choice of fly pattern was

validated. We suspect the fish was about 30 inches long and was chrome bright. We found this one a little below Mill City, and it took the fly around 10 a.m. Many trout were also released voluntarily. Running all river sec-tions is delightful this season. Fishing lower in the river in the morning in high in the river in the afternoon is a good plan for catching steelhead. North Santiam River Guides Association has a club pot luck barbe-cue on July 14 at North Santiam State Park with social hour and cooking starting at 5pm and din-ner at 6pm. Chap Mil-bank (503-584-22338) will accept reservations and provide details. Bob

Lusk (593-859- 2880) also is good for details. July 7 is the date of “Learn The River Trip” from Packsaddle to Fishermen’s Bend. Some may continue to Mehama. Seats are available in some rafts and boats. The group will unload boats and do their own shuttle so they may be in the river at 10:00. Boats should probably be un-loaded before

point is the grand fireplace of natural rock climbing up the height of the wall with an exquisite handcrafted wooden mantle. This piece was designed by Dan Benjamin of Gates, with masonry by Dick Riesterer and funded fully by a gen-erous donation from Josephine Reid. “I knew I wanted to do something good for the community, and this fireplace makes such a warm welcoming entry,” said Mrs. Reid, smiling at the children already taking advantage of the seating area on the generous stone hearth. “It’s time now to move forward as a community, not back.” Through the back doors one could see the continued work in progress. Caleb Rusk of Gates worked on the custom carvings for the front posts, and backhoe work continued, even on that day, mov-ing rock and dirt. The new city hall still has a ways to go before the actual date of move in. The landscaping and parking lot had been postponed due to the unforeseen findings of contaminated soil at the site. Trains passed through there in the early 1900’s, and the spot once house a fueling station. The plan for completion of the parking lot is within the next 4-6 weeks, then the final inspection from Linn County can

take place. Stacie Cook, Mill City City Recorder, reports that the costs of the soil contaminat ion cleanup will be mostly covered by a Brownsfield Grant, leaving a tab of around

$4200 for the town to pick up. According to Mayor Kirsch, the esti-mated costs of the entire project, includ-ing sidewalks, parking lot, cleanup and landscaping and fixtures to be around $800,000. “But that’s not all coming out of city funds,” Kirsch clarifies. “We add in the insurance pay off, the multiple generous donations both monetary and of goods, plus the Brownsfield Grant, and the cost to the city is much, much less. The community has really pulled togeth-er and made this happen. We all should be very proud.”

Movin’ the Chains BBQ from Beaverton were the biggest winners at the first annual Canyon Fireworks BBQ Competition at the 4th of July weekend events, taking home a combined $820 for Grand Champion, 1st place Chicken, 2nd place Ribs and 3rd place in both Sausage and Tri-Tip Steak categories. The first annual event also awarded Reserve Grand Champion Jumptown BBQ of Portland with over $700 for Reserve Grand Champion, 3rd place Chicken, 1st place Ribs, 1st place Sausage and 5th place in the Tri-Tip Steak category. The first annual event was the brainchild of Mill City resident Sheila Hoover, who worked with the Pacific Northwest BBQ Association (PNWBA) to make it an official event and draw teams from throughout the Wil-lamette Valley. “Jumptown BBQ was our PNWBA liaison—and re-ally recruited hard for teams to come participate in our event,” said Hoover. Over $2500 in total prize money was awarded to the eight teams - judged by 14 PNWBA representatives.

Grand Champion takes home over $800 at BBQ competition“All the teams said they had a great time and were very impressed with Mill City, Kimmel Park and our citizens,” said Hoover. “The judges especially liked several of our local res-taurants and asked the 4th of July Committee to expand next year’s event to a 2-day com-petition.” A two day competition might include beef bris-ket and pork shoulder, some specialty compe-titions like salmon, veg-etables or desserts, like cherry pie. PNWBA will be invited to offer a Cooks’ Class several months before next year’s competition, said Hoover, to teach po-tential new teams how to prepare the various meats and what the judges are looking for in presentation and flavor. If there is interest, a Judges’ Training may also be offered. Entrants can be any age, as evidenced by Flameboyz BBQ - had the youngest team member: Justin Lewis, who is 9 ½ and will enter 4th grade in Gladstone this Septem-ber.

Some very fine mutts and their well behaved owners showed up at Kimmel Park Ball Saturday morning for one of Mill City’s most famous events: the annual “Mutt Show.” Dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages competed in dog-e-gories designed for the average family mutt, including Best Wag, Best Bark and Most Ugly. Winner of the grand prize, Mutt of the Year, was Atlas, a two year old Great Dane visit-ing from Salem with his human, Sandi Kirsch. Atlas, in training to be a service and therapy dog, also won Best Overall Mutt’s B.F.F. in his age group. The age groups refer to the age of the owner, with separate awards for entrants 7-12 years old and 18 years and older. There were no entrants under 7, and none between ages 13 -17. Linda Grace, of Social Graces Dog Training, was the hostess of the event while Arnie White officiated. Guest judges for the event were: State Representa-tive Sherrie Sprenger, Linn County Commissioner Will Tucker and Linn County Ken-nel Club Board Member Cathy Feeny. Other volunteers includ-ed Kathy Walker, Christine Fer-ron and several Santiam High School FFA members. 26 mutts participated over all, with thousands of dollars in prizes handed out, including

a custom dog house made by Steve McGuire of Lyons, valued at $250.Here, the highlights of the day’s results:• Best Overall Wagger: Typsy, a two year old mutt from Mill City, with Brody Davidson.

• Best Overall Costume: Die-sel, a four year old boxer from Salem, with Marie Kirsch.

• Best Overall Trick: Taley, a one year old Australian Shep-herd from Mill City, who fetched and retrieved toys with Brody Davidson.

• Most Patriotic Overall: Tuck-er, a three and a half year old German Shephard/Shitzu mix from Gates, with Linda Scheidel.

• 1st Place Muttugly: Tawni, a three year old Pitbull Terrier from Lebanon, with Brianna Wynne.

• 1st Place Look-a-Like: Lucy, a nine week old Dachshund brought by Anna Frieden of Lyons. Lucy also won “Youngest Mutt.”

• Oldest Mutt: Mambo, an elev-en year old Cattle Dog/Heeler, with Alicia Chacon.

• Youngest Handler: Alizabeth Twede (9) of Mill City, who brought a mini Dachshund named Maddie - The Canine Firecracker, who also won 2nd place in Best Costume (Was that Maddie transformed into a hotdog? Buns and mus-

tard and all?)• Oldest Handler: (oldest ad-mitted!) Sandra Bradley (71) of Lyons brought Frenchi, a n eleven month old poodle.

• And the Farthest Traveled was Casper, a two year old mini-American Husky brought by Jack Morris of Salem.

“I am very pleased with the whole event,” said Linda Grace, event organizer and owner of So-cial Graces Dog Training. “The organization and all the support was won-derful this year. Many thanks to the 4th of July com-mittee for making this happen.”

Special thanks and “Wags” to the generous sponsors and do-nors: Ark Animal Care LLC, So-cial Graces Dog Training, Steve McGuire, Hueller Construction, Divine Dog Boarding, US Bank, Dairy Queen, Wilco Farm Stores, Penny Holm, McDonalds Res-taurants, D-Tail Pet Grooming, Bi-Mart, Stayton Animal Supply, Scio Hometown Market, Moun-tain Edge Cafe, Meriel, Merk Ani-mal Health, Independent Pet Sup-ply, Purina, Webster Pet Supply, Pfizer and Fromm Family Foods.

Hey batta, batta, batta! Noth-ing beats a good old fashioned small town softball tourna-ment. High fives and “I love

you, man!” rang freely, while teams with names like Turds, and Dead Last, competed for the coveted bragging rights this past weekend. Taking home the title this year was The Coaches, a team from Mill City who played a consis-tent infield with some solid play that earned them their name. The Coaches held onto first place from the very first game, easily walking up the bracket. Climbing up the bracket to sec-ond place was the rag-tag team, Free Beer. While their infield plays at times lacked panache, the outfield caught and threw

like pros and they had some heavy hitting sluggers that knocked the big yellow ball out of the park. Hillbilly Deluxe gave their all before falling to the promise of Free Beer. The Mis-fits didn’t quite fit into the winning column, and Turds and Dead Last.... (wait for it)...brought up the rear. (Disclaimer: when teams choose such names, the Editor claims rights take full advantage.)

The Coaches take home the title at this year’s softball tournamentNow there’s some hard hitting players - the First Place title went to team The Coaches (center) and second place went to team Free Beer (surrounding).

Fri: 5-10am Sat: 5am-12pm

The Mill City Gates Recreation Associa-tion 9-10 year old baseball team finished the season with a perfect 8-0 record, and are heading to the Willamette Valley playoffs next week in Brownsville. These boys, 16 of them in all, have been practicing 4 times a week under the guid-ance of Coach Randy Moberg. “I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of these boys, each one of them have im-proved so much this year. It’s very rare to get this many kids together and they get along so well. They always play and act like a team - supporting each other, never bickering,” said Coach Moberg. MCGRA is a local non-profit organi-zation run entirely by volunteers. Special thanks to Head Coach: Randy Moberg, As-sistant Coach: Brad Mitchell, and support team of Gary Prindle, Shane Thurston and Scott Smith. And many thanks to Anise Mitchell for keeping the books at every game.

Linn County Fair is coming up mid-July, and our local 4-H kids are well prepared. Here, Eli Nielsen of Gates lets his little friend, Ruby, get socialized. Look for updates soon in

The Canyon Weekly.
