Locally grown DJ Chris Zauner pumped out the tunes to a full dance floor of revelers at the Santiam High School Gym this past Saturday, Jan 29. The

young women in sparkling dresses and the young men in shirts and ties helped bring this annual event an air of elegance mixed with exuberance. “It was one of the best dances I’ve been to so far,” said senior Kary Tuers, “a really good crowd of peo-

ple.” The Winter Formal is a fundraiser for the Santiam High School Sophomore Class events. Their advisor is Heidi Luckey.

Joan and Lee Reynolds celebrated their Golden Anniversary this past Sat-urday, Jan 29 with the help of about 75 friends and family at Mountain Edge Café in Mill City. The couple met while working in an aircraft factory in San Diego and be-gan carpooling to work. Soon they started crossing the border regularly to go to bull fights in Tijuana with friends. From there, they recall, their love evolved. Married January 25th, 1961 in San Diego, the Reynolds stayed in So. Cal-ifornia raising their three children, Debbie, Jim, and Linda while Lee tended bar, and Joan worked for the Salk Institute. In 1977 they came to Oregon on vacation to visit their good friends, Glen and Tammy Kent, and decided they had to stay. In 1978 they purchased the Frontier Inn in Gates, which even-

tually became the local landmark “Frontier Country”. It was also best known as “The Bird House” featuring an aviary of colorful exotic birds to view while dining on their full service menu, or dancing to a local band. Joan and Lee worked together “16 hours a day, 7 days a week” according to Joan, eventually closing the doors for retirement just last year in Febru-ary, 2010. “We were second only to Kwan’s in Salem, in continuous lon-gevity in ordering from United Gro-cers,” said Lee. “Over 30 years in one place is quite an accomplishment.” Now living in Mill City, the couple agrees they’re not going anywhere, except perhaps to travel a bit and fi-nally see the state. “We went to Tim-berline Lodge for the first time just the other day,” said Lee. “It was beautiful. And we’ve bought our plots up at Fair-view on the hill!” When asked the secret to a long and successful marriage, Joan offers one word—patience. “We couldn’t have done it without our kids,” she adds. They are blessed with three children, five grandchildren, and one great grandchild, so far.

Renovations Con-

tinue on Former

Bank Building For the North Santiam Histori-

cal Society, renovating the re-

cently purchased Mill City State

Bank building on NE Wall St is

a layer by layer process.

So far, they’ve uncovered two

layers of ceiling—and have

spotted at least one more that

may have to come down.

They’ve also uncovered bridge

-style rod and beam support sys-

tems, plenty of square nails and

a Reddy Kilowatt sign.

The original building, built

before the turn of the twentieth

century, was three stories high

and is believed to have housed

the original railroad depot.

Now, it will be used for muse-

um displays and Historical Soci-

ety meetings.

To learn more about the organ-

ization or their renovation and

fundraising efforts, contact Wil-

ma Shepherd 503-897-2147.

Local Speak In this segment, we ask local

residents their opinions on a topic subject. Opinions are not representative

of The Canyon Weekly.

When we say “Skate Park”, what

comes to mind?

“It would be a positive place for kids to go and do some-thing fun and constructive with their time.”

Todd Reeser, Mill City

“The first thing that comes to my mind are the social prob-lems because kids should be led into helping society by responsible adult role mod-els.” Bill Sanderson, Mill City

“I think of kids.” Amy Stead, Mill City

“I think of excitement.” Larry Stead, Mill City

“I’m not happy with it be-cause it’s planned in Mill City and not Detroit/Idanha area.”

Geri Cholewinski, Idanha

“Fun. It could be a great place to hang out and get to know people.”

Christine Morreira, North Fork

“I feel like it’s an awesome opportunity for kids. It de-pends on the location. It can be a positive activity if it’s supported by the communi-ty.” Caroline Gilaspy, Mill City

their third annual SpringFest

this coming Thursday, Febru-

The event will include speak-

ers on topics such as how to

fruits, berries and vegetables—

much of it grown right on their

ten acres.

“I want to show people that

it’s easy to eat healthy,” said

Nancy Hendricks.

River Report February 2, 2011

503-897-3301

The North Santiam was still

flooded last week, and the drier

weather is allowing the river to

slowly drop back to more nor-

mal levels. Now, we need to

scout all the channels between

Packsaddle and the Willamette

to make sure they are safe.

The projection from the Army

Engineers is that a good fishing

level will occur the morning of

February 6. On that date and

continuing until heavy rainfall

happens, the North Santiam will

be at 1,100 cubic feet per se-

cond flow at Packsaddle and the

Mehama depth gauge should be

a little over 3 feet.

Fish passage has been slow

because of the poor river condi-

tions, and the timing of the

North Santiam fish runs is that

they start the New Year slowly.

Detroit Lake is at a very low

level now and the Engineers

will fill the lake until it reaches

the summer full level the first

week of May. Rainfall will

cause variances during this pro-

cess. Some great river trips hap-

pen on the spur of the moment,

but the odds are that well

planned trips are the most suc-

cessful.

Clockwise from left: Emergency crews from Gates, Lyons, Jefferson, Salem and Albany assisted

in the rescue efforts; Troy J. “TJ” Topper often referred to a fishing trip as “a meeting at the

office”; Rescue crews used several types of watercraft to attempt to locate the missing man.

Salem Fisherman Presumed Dead in N. Santiam Troy J. "TJ" Topper, 46, of Salem lost his footing and slipped into the North

Santiam River while fishing under the south end of the Gates bridge this past

rescue crews from Jefferson and surrounding areas; Lyons Ambulance was also

called in. “TJ” Topper remains missing and searchers will resume efforts when

the river levels drop, according to the Marion Co Sheriff’s Dept.

Sarah Plain and Tall Tickets Still Available

But they’re going fast! This one night only, special event is pre-sented in conjunction by Santiam Hearts to Arts and the Kroc Center Theater in Salem, February 9th at 7pm. Director David Berrier explained, “We’ve never attempted something like this before. In mid-production at the Kroc Thea-ter we’ll dismantle our entire set, load it onto trucks, then reas-semble at the Santiam Auditorium in Mill City. We’ll then have to do it all over again, in reverse, to bring the play back to Salem that night.” He adds, “Our goal is to bring good theater to the Santiam Canyon, hopefully we will be back with each of

our productions.” “Sarah Plain and Tall” written by Patricia MacLachen and based on a true story in the author’s life, is a well loved children’s book and winner of the esteemed Newberry Medal. General Admission: $6, children free with paid adult. Doors open at Santiam Auditorium on SW Evergreen in Mill City at 6:30pm. Two dollars of each ticket goes back to the local schools. Purchasing advance tickets is recommended for this highly an-ticipated event. Call (503)897-2191, 897-2368 or 897-2311. Childcare is available.
