photo and story by Roseanna Juhola The Santiam Elementary School Playground mural project is nearly complete. Two of the five panels were mounted last week, and will greet students as they enter the building through the front doors. The other three panels will be mounted on the back wall of the building by the playground. The mural project was sponsored by the PTO and Hearts to Arts as a fund raiser to help with the playground restoration. Local students submitted their artwork for the project. The 5 top drawings were used as the centerpiece for the panels, and the remainder of the art work surrounds the center panels. Canyon artist Denise Sanders provided the expertise to replicate the art work. Thanks to Denise and to all of the patrons who sponsored artwork to help get the playground finished this summer.

Time to Hooowwwl at the moon, and dance!

The Great Pumpkin’s Ball is coming to the Santiam High School Gym this Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7pm and nothing can stop it now! “This is going to be a stellar event for the entire family. Where else can you go to a costume dance party with your entire fam-ily but The Great Pumpkin’s Ball?” said event coordinator Jahn Hoover. So grab your little hobgoblins, witches and ghouls--throw on a little face paint, dust off your dancing shoes and get ready for a howling good time. You will be treated to the vibrant sound of Santiam’s own Amer-ican Pop Culture Club (pictured below) performing such classics as The Purple People Eater, Werewolves of London and The Mon-ster Mash. And a grand finale performed by the 7th grade Mu-

sic Enrichment class with choreography that they designed them-selves, “ no spoiler alert by announcing that song…..you’ll just have to be there!” said Hoover. Then get ready to get groovin’ for the rest of the evening to the The Flextones, a dynamic dance band from the Willamette Valley will bring their eclectic repertoire of high energy tunes. One thing for sure we don’t want to miss: the Thriller dance competition. Remember the Michael Jackson classic with danc-ing Zombies? Well, now it is coming to a gym near you! And it’s not too late to join in the fun. The Wolverettes are holding a free zombie dance clinic for all ages this Friday, October 18th at 9am. This event is designed for families to spend time together hav-ing a great time. To ensure that happening there is no admission charge, you may make a donation if you wish. Bring the kids, bring Grandma and Grandpa as well, and please wear a costume!.

This event is being presented by Hearts To Arts with Love to the Community.

On December 7th the American Le-gion Women’s Auxiliary will be assisting the staff of the Oregon Veteran’s Home located in The Dalles, with their an-nual veteran’s free gift shop.

dy, nuts, jerky, watches, money or any-thing that may be given as a Christmas gift to a loved one. The Auxiliary is now selling 3’ X 5’ nylon, all weather American flags for $20.00 each as well as flag cases designed to hold 5’ X 9’ casket flags. The flag cas-es vary in price due to differing designs. All flags are made in the USA and can be purchased at the Gates Post Office at this time; later to be available for purchase at the Lyons Library also. New members are always welcome.

Community Watch forms in Mill City

Notes from the recent school board meeting by Gay StuntznerThe regular School board meeting on October 9 began with the recognition of three community members who have gone above and beyond in the realm of volunteering: Glenn Wright, Gale Holfert, and Clint Forste. Each has helped with various district projects and was presented with a certificate of appre-ciation. Then, at every board meeting the “Santiam Spotlight” is di-rected toward a teacher who gives a comprehensive presenta-tion about the classes they teach. Debbie Fawcett, business education instructor was highlighted. Mrs. Fawcett teaches Computer Enrichment to 7th graders, which explores technol-ogy; Computer Applications to grades 9-12; Sports Marketing, a particularly popular class that toured the Nike campus; and Business Lab, where students are learning specific business related skills. Jr. Sr High principal, David Plotts, recognized the highly praised Robotics Club, developed and run by volunteers, Den-nis and Susan Chamberlin and Sam Suitt , in which students, grade 7 through 12, are building a robot and working together very well. Todd Miller, Santiam Elementary principal and Superinten-dent reported that there will be new testing called the Easy-CBM for grades K-6 that will test the students’ strengths and weaknesses in math and reading. Yvonne Hanna, school board member, asked whether the decline in test scores reflect sev-eral factors, including the impact of the four-day school week rather than five school days per week, and what effects the

length of the school day has on student learning and performance. Blended classrooms are also a challenge, as stat-ed by teacher Garry Plotts (blended 4th-5th), who suggested that training for teachers teaching blend-ed classrooms would be helpful. Parents will be sent a report on testing results. Superintendent Miller reported there are cur-rently 550 students in the district (vs. 538 last year) and classrooms are full with fewer substitute teach-ers available than are needed. And there is also a need to improve the internet ( cont. on page 5)

The crowds keep demanding it - so the school keeps giving it to them. Competition wrestling, that is. Back for the third time this year, the entertainers from West Coast Wrestling Connection are returning to Mari-Linn School in Lyons on November 2. The title championship round will be between the current WCWC Champion Darin Corbin (pictured here on the right) and his challenger Wade Hess. And Ethan HD will return to fight for his title. But let’s be honest here. The main stars

aren’t the 20-something, testosterone filled, “I’m going to kill you” types like you see on the TV shows. Maybe that’s what they used to be - but now, after having spent their ear-ly youth creating national controversy, they’ve figured out how to put on a show with a

little more finesse. Don’t get me wrong: there’s still a bucket full of competition and an even big-ger bucket full of rivalry, but more often the antics are designed to inspire crowd loyalty.

Even more often, they’re designed to get the crowd high-fiving and laughing, and cheering for one team or the next. Two of those veteran perform-ers come from very widely known backgrounds: Shelley Martinez and Tony Atlas. Those are some of the big-gest names in WWE history, coming here to Lyons, for the first time ever, all in the name of raising money for this kids

at Mari-Linn School. Proceeds will benefit the student ASB ac-count. The event could not be held without generous sponsors like Santiam Towing and Recovery, Freres Lumber Co., and other local businesses. Tickets start at $5 for general admission, $10 front row & $7 second row; purchase with cash or check at Mehama True Value or online with a credit card at www.StaytonEvents.com.

Also Featuring: • WCWC Champion Darin Corbin

and his challenger Wade Hess will compete for the WCWC title match.

infrastructure (there is an 80% federal reimburse-ment available). The district’s financial report was given by Martha Highfill, business manager. Although it is early in the year and the picture can change, the district’s negative fund balance is $82,000 (vs. last month’s projected deficit of $313,000), so there is cautious optimism. However, it is not possible to determine the final projection at this time. A long and thoughtful discussion followed about the future of the Gates school property. “We are facing a very difficult decision,” noted Richard Moore, board chair. A number of factors were considered, including the current maintenance costs, the need for ad-ditional students to justify reopening the school, and funds would have to be expended to bring the property up to current state school building code standards before reopening. Board members debated a number of questions: Is this property now considered “surplus” proper-ty? Should the property be put up for sale? What should be done with the play structure? What must be done to prepare the school if it is put up for sale? Three commercial realtors have looked at the property and made recommendations: Put the school on the market as is; do not subdivide into smaller parcels; remove all objects of importance, including all memorabilia and do not remove any large kitchen items, which may be used by a pro-spective buyer. A motion to sell the property was passed unani-mously. A second motion to sell a one-acre lot also passed unanimously. David Plotts discussed the safety of two district mini-buses, both of which will not pass ODE in-spection, so they will be sold. The purchase of new buses will require that they be designed spe-cifically as a school bus, and he is looking into options.

Flue fire season is here The Mill City Volunteer Fire Department has a few tips to help you stay safe during the heating season. First, have your chimney checked by a qualified person to make sure it is clean and that the mortar on the brick chimney is still in good condition. On metal chimneys you need to look for warped pipes, black discoloration around the seams, which indicate a leak. The department receives many calls for smoke in a residence that was caused by a dirty flue or flue cap. It is very important to always burn dry wood. Burning wet wood in your stove causes creosote and will plug your flue. Watch for signs that your flue is restricted, a whisper of smoke out of the door every time you open it should tell you that it is time to clean or inspect for chimneys. When cleaning ashes out of your stove or fireplace make sure to put them in a metal container away from the house. Make sure you wet them down and leave them long enough to be completely out. Ashes will hold there heat for days, so be very careful with them. Keep everything away at least 3 feet from wood stoves, fireplaces and other heating devices, that includes spare wood you have car-ried into the house. Storing paper or dry wood under the stove will cause you problems. If you use gas or electric heat, remember that filters need to be cleaned or replaced every year before heavy usage begins. A little precaution now may ave your home and your life!
