Invasive crimes such a the theft of a car is rare in the town of Gates. So rare, in fact, that when two separate cars are stolen in a matter of hours and one of those cars is stolen twice, it makes locals scratch their heads and say, “How can this happen here?” The Canyon Weekly’s Editor in Chief, Karen Widmer, provided a first hand witness to the some events that unfolded in the early hours of September 30.

“I awoke to a pounding knock on the door around 5:30am,” said Widmer, recalling the in-cident from her Marion County home. “It was Deputy Brian Barker of Linn County. He asked me if I knew where my car was. I had a feeling he’d tell me it wasn’t at the end of the driveway where I left it the night before.” “No Karen, it’s 2 blocks away, and it was used to steal a corvette,” Deputy Barker told her. The story unfolded quickly. According to Sar-gent Flint LaBard of the Linn County Sheriff’s office, shortly after midnight, 911 dispatch

Hundreds of motorcycles of all breeds lined the main street through Detroit this weekend as the Indian Summer and beautiful full moon lured riders to hit the road. One group, the Road Maggots from Linn County, enjoyed the

challenge of a poker run on their way over Quartsville Road, and stopped in Detroit for refreshments. “This IS the destination point!” said one friendly

biker, when asked where they were headed to.

Lyons council candidate continues reported

“witch hunt” retaliation for water board recall

Gates car thief steals Corvette twice in one night

At last Lyons City Council meeting, city staff provided the council with a formal report documenting recent in-teractions with Lyons resident Mark Orr, a city council candidate, and his extensive requests for city documents and other paperwork. “Mr. Orr has, at a significant cost to the taxpayers, created innumerable hours of unnecessary copying, re-searching and documenting work for the staff of the City of Lyons,” according to the report. City staff think that Orr is on a “witch hunt” in retali-ation for the 2011 failed recall of Lyons Mehama Wa-ter District Board members Bruce Matthis, Terry Tegg, Gene Coles and George Geddes, which stemmed from 12 years of water district non-compliance issues. Documentation of Orr’s intents to retaliate against city hall for the water board recall date back to a coun-cil meeting early last year. “Some people had a “witch hunt” on the water board…(I’m) going to do the same thing to the city…what is happening to the water board is going to happen to city council,” said Orr at the Febru-ary 22, 2011 Lyons City Council meeting, according to meeting minutes. The most recent incident, as stated in the report from the city, talks about how Orr wasn’t able to get the forms that he needed to file to run for city council. While other cities require potential candidates to pick up the paper-work during regular business hours, according to the report, Orr asked Lyons city staff to post them to the outside bulletin board. They said they did, but Orr said that they weren’t there when he came to pick them up.

Praise for Mill City schools

When my oldest was going to school here she didn’t like to do her homework. I couldn’t hold her hand and she didn’t want to do what I told her. I spoke with Mr. Smith and he said he didn’t mind keep-ing her after school until she finished her homework. She was furious with the two of us. She couldn’t believe that a teacher wasn’t going to let her leave school until she had finished her homework. Could this scenario have played out in a bigger school? Probably not! I have a child who if she had her way would sit on the couch and eat popcorn and watch SUV. Not in this town. She is always off doing something that will look great on her college application! I have watched this girl go from thinking volunteering was lame to being excited to take a leadership role in things. If she was going to a bigger school she would think the world revolved around the TV Guide. Another one of my children would wear her hair in her eyes. She never made eye contact with anyone and she hardly ever spoke to anyone. Now she pulls her hair back. She looks you in the eye when she speaks to you. She walks tall and proud. She loves her friends and is kind to every-one. I imagine that if we remained in Vir-ginia she would be wearing all black and always sad. My son came home excited that his paper was marked up with red ink. He told me that he knew that he wasn’t a good writer but he didn’t know where he was going wrong. He is excited to work at a higher standard than what he was working at. I want to thank the teachers and staff for their dedication to the children of this town. You all have touched my children’s life in such a huge way. I appreciate everything that you all do and thank you for bringing two schools together so effortlessly!

Gates: Resident requests write-in candidates for mayorTo the Editor, This is a response to Mayor Mike Higgs’ letter of Aug. 29th (in which he responded to my Aug. 22nd letter in this paper). If this

were a disagreement between me and a neighbor, I would not be inclined to make it public. However, those involved are my elected official and a city employee, which makes it an altogether different situation. It is the duty of citizens to hold their public servants accountable--including bringing attitudes and actions to public light. There is not space--nor need--to describe all that was said and done that day. I would be happy to recount the events if you con-tact me. Not to gossip, but to inform citi-zens regarding attitudes at their city hall. Suffice it to say that I did not barge into city hall demanding private meetings and reprimands as Mr. Higgs described. And I wasn’t referred to the mayor to answer a question the clerk couldn’t answer. A “reprimand” was never requested. What I did try to get the mayor to agree to is that city officials and employees should meet citizens with professionalism and courtesy regardless of their positions on the issues. I would have been more than satisfied with a “qualified agreement” to this idea, such as: “I do agree that city hall should have a policy where good customer service is expected. Yes, we are supposed to be here to serve the people of Gates.” I was floored that he never agreed to this or anything close to it. His letter also side-steps this issue. I hope voters will become more involved and aware of the goings-on at city hall, in-cluding attending city council meetings. It is your city, your tax dollars, and many de-cisions will affect your and your children’s future. Please let me (and others) know if you want to be considered as a write-in for mayor in Gates this November. Call me if you believe in government accountability and fiscal responsibility, and I will con-sider voting for you. (I will also want to know where you stand on a couple other important issues.) Thanks to all who read this.

received a report of a stolen corvette from Gates Bridge East in Linn County. Left in it’s place was a green bicycle. Meanwhile, just across the river in Marion County, down a narrow dead end lane, Gail and Leroy Davis of Gates were awoken by their barking dog and the loud revving of an engine. “We didn’t call 911 at the time, as we just thought someone had car problems,” said Gail Davis, who tried to go back to sleep. That effort didn’t last long as she was awoke again, this time by the shower of spotlights into her field. Units from both counties had been searching and found the Corvette stuck on a berm that keeps drivers from going over the cliff and into the N. Santiam River, but the suspected car thief/thieves were no-where in sight. The deputies located the owner of the sto-len vehicle who explained that the Corvette had a failing transmission, and a knack for not going into reverse easily, thus leaving the would-be thieves unable to turn around on such a narrow road. The owner decided to leave the car, and return in the daylight for recovery. Again, the Davis’ settled back into bed,

only to be awoken a couple hours later to more sounds of more engines. Someone was attempting to pull the Corvette out

with another vehicle. Suspicious, they called the family of the car’s owner, who verified they were not there at-tempting to dislodge the car in the pre-dawn hours. 911 was dis-patched again. But by the time the

deputies arrived on scene this time, the Corvette was now gone, in it’s place was a Subaru that belongs to the Widmer

family just two blocks away. That’s when Deputy Barker knocked on the Widmer’s door. Apparently when the thieves fled the scene the first time they retained the car keys. De-termined to obtain their object of desire, a beloved ’65 grey Corvette with personal-ized plates, they searched the neighborhood and found the Subaru, and found a chain, and returned to yank the Corvette free, but not without first asking yet another neigh-bor to borrow a flashlight, who unwittingly complied. The story soon ends however, as it’s hard not to notice such a prize of a car

zooming down Hwy 22 at 95 miles/hour as was reported witnessed in Mill City. It was found later the next day in the carport of a 45 year old Terry Trachsel of Lyons, who was arrested, and read his rights, and in a rambling confession admitted to the crime, and the use of methamphetamine that night to fuel it. He did not admit, however, to having an accomplice. The owners of the Corvette and the Suba-ru where both reunited with their vehicles. The commonality that helped them to be-come crime victims was each admitted to leaving their keys in their cars, and their cars unlocked. “I feel like such an idiot. I won’t be doing that again. We just didn’t see that coming, after all, this is Gates!” said Tim Widmer re-ferring to the sleepy little burg. The two-time (accused) car thief, Trachsel, remains housed in Linn County Jail with two charges of Unauthorized Use of a Ve-hicle and according to public records, this is not the first time he has faced such charges. Neighborhood watch posters and signs are available for purchase or may be ordered from Sandra Rupert at Gates Post Office. “Neighbors really need to talk with each other so we know when something seems out of ordinary,” said Rupert, who heads up the Gates Neighborhood Watch Program, and invites anyone interested to join.

On second attempt, car thief steals Subaru to pull out stuck CorvetteNeighbors loan thief a flashlight to help, unaware that the stuck car on Horeb Street in Gates was stolen

Terry Trashel of Lyons was arrested after depu-

ties found the twice-stolen Corvette in his carport.

generates about 10 percent of the school’s revenue annually, averaging about $1,000 to $1,100 per student. One of the auction’s most popular tradi-tions is the car raffle, which has brought in more than $784,000 over the last 21 years. This year the raffle includes three prizes. The first winning ticket holder will receive a 2012 Crimson Pearl Honda Civic EX-L with four-doors, sunroof, power windows & door locks, air conditioning, Bluetooth, au-tomatic transmission, heated leather seats, alloy wheels and more!

Not only did these artists create some of finest music ever, swing be-came an integral part of our country’s his-tory, the voice of an energized nation at its best… these bands provided the soundtrack for what would later come to be known as the era of the ‘Greatest Generation.’” The event operates solely through presale

Mari-Linn preschool teacher Cathy Griswold is the 2012 recipient of the Exemplary Classroom Science Teacher Award, presented by the Oregon Science Teachers Association. Griswold hasn’t been told the exact reason she won the award, but thinks it has something to do with her contributions to the book Family Engineering: An Activity & Event Planning Guide, designed to help educators put on family-focused events that teach students how things work. One of Griswold’s favorite projects involves cups,

tape, rubber bands and tiny motors - transformed into miniature robots through creative engineering. “She has a passion for science,” said Mari-Linn Princpal Jeri Luftus. Girswold recently helped spearhead a family en-gineering night at Mari-Linn. She will receive her award at a formal dinner in Salem on October 12 and was nominated by Nicole Duncan, the school district science coach.

Missing horse found close to home

Pepper the lost mare is safe at home again with the Corey family of Mill City. She had gone missing last week during a family ride

in the hills just south of town after losing her rider and taking off into the woods. Teams of riders and hikers have been scour-ing the area south of Lyons and Mill City for nine days, just prior to hunting season. They had several hopeful leads, but the missing horse had many fearing the worst. But as luck has it, a neighbor out walking his dog Tuesday evening found the sweet gal within a mile of her house unscathed, but very thirsty, and missing the saddle and bridle that she had taken off with. Horses have a knack for knowing exactly how to get back to their safe zone, yet Pep-per was brought into the Corey’s family stock just two days prior to her going miss-ing, and had yet to imprint her home base. We are sure, with all the loving attention she is getting right now, she will never for-get how to get home again.

The Sublimity Harvest Festival cele-brated 40 years of tractor pulls, truck pulls and monster truck madness with nearly 20,000 people earlier this sum-mer, organizers said. In addition to vehicle categories, two classes of horse pulling were taken by Randy Dodge’s team (heavy class) and Bob McGowan’s team won the light class. The Mehama-based Siegmund Excavation won a “Raymond ‘Red’ Boedigheimer Award” for being the event’s noteworthy sponsor. Volunteer Richard Hill of Sublimity also won the award for his help. The awards are a tradi-tion since 1978; the first one was given to the

Die-hard campers don’t need much of an excuse to go camping, but as of October 1, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) offers up one more reason: Discovery Season. From Oc-tober 1-April 30, rates for RV and tent campsites at Oregon State Parks drop by $4 per night. Depending on the location, tent sites go as low as $13 per night, and full hookup sites as low as $16 per night. Fall and winter discounts, which continue through April 30, apply to all sites, except standard yurts and cabins. Details on Dis-

covery Season rates can be found at http://www.oregonstateparks.org/rates.php. Some specialty sites are discounted even more than $4 per night. “Our deluxe cabins and deluxe yurts drop at least $20 per night. And with the construction of 16 new deluxe cabins at Fort Stevens, Cape Lookout and Prineville in 2011, people have more choice than ever.” For details, see http://www.oregon.gov/oprd/PARKS/pages/de-

luxe.aspx. People can reserve online through www.oregonstateparks.org or by calling Reservations Northwest at 1-800-452-5687. Current information on state park rates, openings and closings is avail-able by calling 1-800-551-6949, or online at www.oregonstateparks.org.

The boat ramp at Shelburn is a little difficult to pull into from upstream because of two large branches sticking out in the waves just above the ramp. It is possible to see the branches from upstream and to row around them, toward the middle of the river, and then to cut back into the boat ramp. It would be desirable for the branches to be removed before someone has an accident there. Careful boaters with prior knowledge of the layout are able to use the ramp. The next ramp is five miles downriver at Green’s Bridge.

The last high water events had a favorable result in the two mile section of mov-ing logjams between Shel-burn and Green’s Bridge. Two upper entrances to the South channel were partially blocked by trees and gravel bars. The present entrance to that channel is easy to nego-tiate, and the channel is us-able but narrow. The entrances to the North channel have also been par-

tially blocked and there is not enough water for uninterrupted trips. The remaining channel, in the left center of the river, has a clear channel all the way through and is very comfort-able for navigation with kay-aks, canoes, driftboats, rafts, and pontoon boats. The holding water around all the islands is ideal, even at high river flows, but the temperature is often warm. On September 30, there were still hundreds of salmon spawn-ing in the redds all the way from Packsaddle to Mehama.

Most are in the Packsaddle and Minto Park area, but some are in many other places. The biggest whitewater sec-tion of the North Santiam is in the Gorge, which starts half a mile downstream from Gates Bridge. River volume for this week has been around 2,140 cubic feet per second at Pack-saddle and around 2,260 cfs at Mehama. That’s around 3.9 ft deep on the Mehama gauge. The waves in the four rap-ids in the Gorge are big and the rocks are many. Dodging them is important. There is so much water that now there is a straightforward route through all the rapids. It may be diffi-cult to identify that safe chan-nel, but once found it provides a good ride and a lot of spray-ing whitewater. Lower river sections all have good scenery, plenty of wildlife and lots of tranquility. The boat slide at Upper Bennett Dam at Stayton Island is easy to use the second trip, so it is desirable to follow someone to observe the

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office Cadet Pro-gram is offering first hand experience on what it takes to be a Patrol Deputy, Parole & Probation Deputy, or Corrections Deputy for those ages 14 & 1/2 to 20 years of age, organizers said.

Appli-cants must be a US Citizen and enrolled full-time in school with at least 2.5 GPA to qualify. Learn about teamwork and develop leadership skills while working with our Deputies. Selected applicants will participate in an interview process and must pass a background investigation and admitted applicants will begin an 8-week Cadet Academy that starts on January 12, and meets every

Perhaps Orr anticipated this happening, because according to city staff, he said that he videotaped himself looking (and not finding) the paperwork on the board. He has not shown the video to staff at city hall, despite requests. Orr deemed the situation so bad that he told city staff that he intended to file a complaint with county officials. Linn County elections clerk Steve Drucken-miller said that Orr has called the county sev-eral times about the city, but that they have not received a formal complaint, and neither has the Secretary of State’s office. But Drunkenmiller did indicate that the City of Lyons has been difficult to work with. “ We’ve asked the city to put everything in writing, which is highly unusual.” Mark Orr was contacted about the videotape and election documents, but refused to com-ment. Tami Owen, a recently hired staff member at Lyons City Hall, gave her resignation at the last city council meeting, according to a video of the event.

Santiam Hearts to Arts (H2A) is seeking new leadership and support teams to keep up with the popular and quickly growing organization. Started a few short years ago as an after school art opportunity by Renate Medley, H2A has metamorphosed into hosting year round arts and music events includ-ing the current music in the school pro-gram with ETHOS, that brings a total of 8 weeks of hands on music instruction to every child in the Santiam Canyon School District schools, grades K-6, at no cost to the district. Renate Medley recently and reluctantly chose to step down from role of president to heed health concerns. “Ideally, the decision making board for H2A would consist of a parent, a teacher, an artist, a musician, and a city council member,” said Medley. In its five year history, H2A has put over $20,000 into the community with over half of that into the schools, supporting Mis-soula Children’s Theatre, the high school pop culture class, International Club and the FFA - in addition to the Canyon Arts

Festival. Current short term needs to fill to help continue to bring art and music opportunities to the North San-tiam Canyon include: * Day volunteers to work with the Ethos facilitator at Santiam Elementary* Project champions for future projectsLong term, the organization needs:* President: New leadership for a new vi-sion, a skilled group to make decisions and a new presidential face to be a public representative. * Electronic Media Coordinator: Be in charge of all electronic information distri-bution. Build and keep websites, and post to social media sites with regular updates.* Corporate secretary: Take minutes at meetings AND write request letters, thank you notes etc. and keep records* Graphics Coordinator: Design and cre-ate publications, programs, signage, etc.* Marketing Coordinator: Seek sponsor-ship and distribute marketing materials. H2A will meet on Saturday, October 6 at 10am at the home of Mike and Renate

Medley, 345 SW Linn Place in Mill City. RSVP to 503-897-2949.
