Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller reports that his deputies and search and rescue team rescued a woman who had been lost near the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness two weeks ago. Lynette Gail Cubic, age 61, of Salem, was reported missing by her companion, Lee Hettema, age 64, also from Salem, while picking mushrooms October 21 in the area around Pamelia Lake trailhead. Cubic and Hettema got separated in the afternoon. Hettema was able to get back to his vehicle at the trail head then drove home before reporting Cubic missing.. Deputies and members of the Linn County

Sheriffs Search and Rescue Post reached the area that night. They discovered cut mushroom stems and boot prints near the Pamelia Lake trail about a half mile from the trail head in the Mt. Jefferson Wilder-ness Area. Searching the area throughout the night in rain and snow, they eventually came to a creek and followed tracks they believed to have been left by Cubic. Additional Linn County searchers and dep-uties responded to the area, including Linn County Sheriffs Mounted Posse. On Octo-ber 22 , the team discovered what appeared

to be a campsite along Pamelia Creek. Fur-ther downstream, near the creek, they found articles of Cubics clothing. Sergeant Ken Stewart responded to that area, where he found Cubic as she was just coming out of the timber. She was dressed only in undergarments, was incoherent, and suffering from advanced hypothermia. Sergeant Stewart dressed her in some of his own extra clothes, put her in his sleeping bag to get her warm and transported her to the command post at the trail head. Lyons and Gates Fire Depts. responded and transported Cubic to Salem Hospital.

A 3 story home burned nearly to the ground in Detroit early Monday morning. A neighbor of the home up in the hill on Mackey Lane noticed the fire sometime before 5am and called 911. Dispatch initially alerted the Idanha Detroit Rural Fire Protec-tion District (IDRFPD), yet after no response, the Gates Rural Fire Department was called to the scene and were able to put it out in 20 minutes. The all volunteer Gates crew of five firefighters then stayed over 5 hours to secure the scene and make sure the fire was out. The house was not occupied at the time. The owners were not available for comment. Luckily this didnt happen a couple weeks ago when the woods were so dry the whole

hillside could have been de-stroyed, said one neighbor, who asked not to be identified. The IDRFPD has gone through some rough times in recent years, and keeping a trained group of available volunteers has been challenging. When I took it over manage-ment of the department the mes-sage I got from the community and the fire board was the need for ambulance service, so we fo-cused on that. Now were picking up on lo-cal volunteers, yet they havent been able to get through their training yet. For safetys sake, I just couldnt send out a team into a fire without proper training, said Fire Chief Jim Trett. Gates Fire Department has been helping out in the interim. How-ever, as the Detroit area is out of

Gates jurisdiction, compensa-tion is requested. Under the current situation when Gates responds to the Idanha/Detroit area, and no one else responds, we do invoice the IDRFPD, not the property own-ers as the owners already pay taxes for fire protection, said Gates Fire Chief Gary Swan-son, who stressed that protect-ing neighboring communities was one of the commitments of his department and that Gates

would continue to respond when needed. A meeting for all prospec-tive volunteer firefighters in the Idanha//Detroit area will be held within the next few weeks to set a course for training in the upcoming months. Anyone interested in volun-teering from anywhere in the Santiam Canyon is encouraged to attend. Notices of the exact date will be placed in The Can-yon Weekly and around Detroit.

2 Two weeks ago, Mr. Lon Conner wrote a letter about water he and Willis Owen stole from Lyons Mehama Water Depart-ment. I thought that was all behind us, but since you started it up again, someone should tell the rest of the story. True, the water wasnt the big deal, but its against state and federal law to tamper with any citys water supply. Willis Owen and Lon Conner opened at least six fire hydrants in the city. Mr. Owen told the city council after the fact that he was qualified to do the test after 30 years on the fire department. Anyone who is qualified to do water tests knows that you dont take tests at a hy-drant, at least anyone with knowledge. To do a proper test, you have to get correct containers from Water Lab Corporation,

not buckets or coffee cans from your ga-rage. Samples must arrive at the lab on ice, to keep from being contaminated. The samples were collected in home containers which was not in accordance with NELAC requirements, which meant Lon and Willis werent qualified to do a test. The instructions were on the lab sheet. I have pictures and lab results and you also stole from the city. Lon and Wil-lis were acting as Concerned Citizens for Safe Water, which they were members of at the time. Then they took their sample to city hall and showed it to city manager Mary Mitchell, then - acting as Mayor Pro-tem - Lon told Mary to have the city pay the lab fee of $210, when it was the Concerned Citizens idea for the test. Thank you. Dan Burroughs of Lyons

Fresh to You Produce & Garden Center is expanding its specialty foods selection, in-cluding new whole grain and organic crack-ers arriving this month. Weve always focused on local food prod-ucts, says co-owner Nancy Hendricks. As we find high quality items, we add them to our inventory. The new cracker line is called Partners ,produced in Kent, Washington. Fresh to You will carry 26 different varieties of the Partners products, including olive oil, toasted sesame, ground wheat, multigrain and honey wheat crackers; as well as gra-

nola and cookies. Weve had so many customers ask for crackers. These are the most local, high-quality crackers we could find, said Hendricks. In September, Fresh to You began sell-ing its own line of specialty sauces. They selected the 25 best ones to carry. The Hendricks goal was to have these new specialty products in before the hol-idays to provide a larger variety of goods for customers to choose from when put-ting together holiday gift packs - cus-tomizable for personal or business gift-giving. For more information or to see a full

list of the new products at Fresh to You, visit www.ftyp.com or call 503.769.9682.

Locals in Detroit have seen some scary crosswalk happenings lately as people try to get across Hwy 22 from downtown Detroit. Theres been dozens of close calls, said part-time resident Laurie Knytych. So close, in fact, that Knytych and her fi-ance Dan Gatley decided it was time to or-ganize a petition to get a flashing caution light installed at the crosswalk on the corner of Hwy 22 and Forest Ave., by the Detroit Lake Market, to get drivers attention. So far, they have around 1,000 signatures ready to send to the Oregon Department of Transportation. One of those signers is De-troit resident Steve Chittenden, whos had many close calls with speeders and people not yielding to the crosswalk. Many of the pedestrians are students that are bussed to Mill City and must cross the road to get to the bus stop, said Knytych. The petition efforts started earlier this summer, after Knytych and Dan Gatley wit-nessed a man with a stroller trying to cross the busy highway on the only crosswalk in

town. After seeing the mans difficulty, the couple stepped in to help, but they still had a hard time getting the traffic to stop. I was trying to get peoples attention by waving my arms, said Gatley. The group made it halfway across, then had even more trouble with the cars headed in the other direction. They were almost hit. It would have killed both of us, said Gatley. Then in late August 2012, there was a three car collision at the same crosswalk and one pedestrian nearly escaped injury, said Lau-rie Knytych. There was also one fatality in the 1980s, she said. But that may not be enough risk for ODOT to approve installing a flashing light at the crosswalk. The highway department ranks areas that have the greatest need for safety improvements and its generally the top 5-10 percent that get the highest priority, said Lou Torres, Public Information Officer. And without checking my data, I dont think (the Detroit crosswalk) makes the list. Multiple sources within ODOT were un-aware of the caution light petition, but the general process for approval starts with a re-

quest, then an analysis to find out if the cau-tion light is really needed. And the analysis can take some time, said Torres. Torres also said that ODOT may or may not pay for the installation of a caution light and that often other projects must be completed at the same time, like developing sidewalks, to ensure the system is safe. And the caution light is more likely to be approved if they can see monetary support coming from the city, said Torres. The City of Detroit is behind the project, said Street Commissioner Greg Shepard, a 33 year resident of Detroit. Its a conges-tion point in the summer. Wed love to have a caution light like the one (in Mehama). Ideally, the pedestrian crossing would have solar powered flashers that would activate when a person was trying to cross. But what actually happens is up to ODOT and the city. We dont know if theyre just going to put a flasher in, said Knytych. The city is in the beginning stages of the project, said Street Commissioner Shepard. The caution light will be brought up at the next Detroit City Council meeting, Nov 13.

4The river is high and mud-dy today. Additional rains could keep the river out of shape for several days.

Some snow (about nine inches) fell last week at Little Meadows, just a mile or so SW of Detroit Lake. That has melted, and the North Santiam flowing into Detroit was between 47 and 51 degrees today. The North Santiam temperature below Detroit ranged from 47 up to 51 degrees. The Little North Fork was especially high and it brought much sediment into the river, which was very noticeable at Mehama. Numerous summer steelhead and Coho salmon are still in the river, and many of them are still in prime condition. Some are good candidates for catch and release. Good sportsmen may enjoy the good ones and deal gently with others. Theres enough fish in the river to have good chances of catching some. Raft trips are able to view the river in unusu-al conditions. The rapids are so large above Mill City that most trips should start below Mill City Falls or lower. Halloween is a special time on the Rogue River. For years, the guides have placed pumpkins in hard to reach places. There are some decorations and a few spooks along the North Santiam, but the traffic is slow. Soli-tude is very relaxing. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife wants to conduct a survey next year to deter-mine the effect of scatter planting. The agen-

cy needs public input to prove support for the scatter planting program. When the juvenile steelhead (or salmon) are put in the river, they remember that location. When they go to the ocean and return several years later, they lin-ger at that stocking location for some time and fishing is very good around the planting sites. If instead the juveniles are stocked at one location, the fish all return to the same place. Scatter planting makes sense. ODFW needs to make an agency presentation about this on Nov 2, and they need written testi-mony before Nov 2. Please write comments about your support for scatter planting and send your letter to: ODF&W Alex Ferrand Fish Biologist S. Willamette District 7118 NE Vandenberg Ave. Corvallis, OR 97330. 541-757-5239, [email protected] It is obvious that the scatter planting will be most effective if the juvenile fish are raised exclusively in North Santiam water. When they are raised in warmer water at other hatcheries, the multiple imprinting will cause a high stray rate. This is a separate issue, and certainly scatter planting is a very good thing. It is not a complete solution and at some time the other issue should be addressed. Work has continued at the Minto Fish trap and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year. The brood stock for 2013 should be able to use the new facility. The next meeting of Steelheaders Salem Board is Nov 7, 6:30pm at Wholesale Sports in Salem. Free, open to the public.

6 Mari-Linn Hornets 6-7th grade volleyball team finished the 2012 season undefeated, said Coach Chelene Schafer.

The 6-7th grade team won all eight of their games this year, while at the same time teaching several new players the basics.

The 8th grade team also played well, with a final season score of 5-3. The hard work of the players and the support from parents all helped to make it a great sea-son, said Coach Schafer, who organized an awards night to

celebrate the girls accom-plishments. Schafer awarded certifi-cates to every player, in-cluding the first time (and last time) ever Primp-ing Award, given to 7th grader Alyssa Black for being the last girl in the locker room after each game. Others won participation

awards for their individual efforts. My desire as a coach was to help the girls take ownership: set goals, play hard and be a teammate that others could count on, said Coach Schafer. They far exceeded my ex-pectations. The end of this volleyball season is bitter-sweet for Coach Schafer, who will be mov-ing on with her 8th grade daughter as she starts Stayton High School next year. But her efforts at Mari-Linn wont be forgotten. This was the best season ever, said 7th grade player Lyndsey DeSantis. Mrs. Scha-fer is awesome. Congratulations to the 6-7th grade team: Kaeli Hill, Alyssa Black, Katie Stephens, Madi Knox, Michelle Carbaugh, Sheree Donohue, Alissa Twitchell, Trinity Saun-ders and Lyndsey DeSantis. Congratulations to the 8th grade team: Desi Pechar, Amber Black, Alyssa Parker, Abbie Schafer, Carmen Blair, Jenna Elmer and Kylie Parker.

Nancy was born in Fairbanks, Alaska. Her family moved to Sheridan when she was still a toddler. She was raised in Sheridan, married her husband, Jack London Stoddard and raised 3 girls there. Nancy and Jack moved to Government Camp and ran a gas station. They also lived in Sunnyside, Washington where they owned and operated apart-ments and an RV park.

They retired in Gates, Or. Nancy loved quilting. She quilted many years with the Santiam Quilters and was a member of the Rebeccas Lodge. She loved gardening and made great homemade bread. After her husband died in 1988, she moved to Lin-coln City. She spent her last years in the Redmond area. Nancy had 3 girls, 6 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

Lyons - Randy Joy McCarley embarked on an exciting new ad-venture Monday, October 15, 2012. She left behind her mother, Joy D. Russo, two proud daughters, Moon M.B. Joy McCarley, Lacey Joy M. McCarley, honorary daughter Katy Irene Zilverberg, and a vast family of devoted friends spanning the continent and the globe. Randy lived her life to the fullest, never passing up a chance to try something new. She spent her childhood exploring the lakes of Minnesota, her teen years in beautiful Southern California, and ventured to the Santiam Canyon in her mid-twenties. Whether it was winning hearts while riding her horse, snorkeling and drinking Kava with her dear friend and Fijian locals, camping an entire sum-mer at Yosemite, or attending three Iditarods, Randy had a passion for adventure. Randy had a deep and loyal love for her family and friends. No dis-tance was too far when it came to visiting her daughters wherever their travels or careers brought them. Her home on the banks of the Little North Fork of the Santiam was a refuge for those she held dear, always open whether for a night, a month, or even a year.

Randys heart was just as full of love for strangers as those she knew well. Those who met her all shared the same experience, open arms and a sense of family at first touch. She accepted all regardless of background or life history, always seeing the very best in each person she met. A celebration of Randys life and next ad-venture will be held on Saturday,November 3, 2012 at 1pm at the Santiam Valley Grange Hall in Lyons, Oregon. As Randy was an artist and lover of music, musi-cians are asked to bring instruments and everyone a heart full of song. Sharing of thoughts and memories will be followed by a potluck and much revelry and celebra-tion of a life well lived and enjoyed.

Serving the family, North Santiam Funeral Service, Stayton.

Bobbie Budlong, 80, was born the second child to an Oklahoma farmer. The family relo-cated many times from Oklahoma to the west coast and it was on one of these trips she met and fell in love with James Bud-long in Detroit, Oregon. The two were married in Paris,TX on March 19, 1951 then made their home in the Santiam Canyon where they raised three children. It was after Jims sudden death in November, 2010 that Bobbies health started to decline. After years of battling cancer Bobbie died at home Thursday evening. She is survived by her children,

Dennis Budlong of Mill City, Russell Budlong of Salem, and Susan OLeary of Portland; six grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren and siblings Ha-zel Peeler, Elvin Blan, Mabel

Boester and Harold Blan. Funeral Services were held October 24, at Weddle Funeral Chapel in Stayton. A reception followed at the Mill City Eagles Lodge. Instead of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the North Santiam Histori-cal Society or the Mill City Fire Department, two organizations close to Bobbies heart.

Looking for a Place to PlayDespite volunteer efforts to move the playground

equipment from the now closed Gates Elementary, recess situation still does not meet needs

Last spring the Santiam Canyon School board voted, after weeks of deliberation and much heartache, to close Gates Elementary School. The budget came in at $750,000 deficit for the upcoming school year, and the overall enrollment for the district was steadily declining. The decision to close Gates School was not popular. However the community rallied, promising to support the teachers in the move. And the promise was made that the children would have their playground moved with them to their new school, Santiam Elemen-tary. Moving the school was a tedious task, truckloads of desks and books and supplies all packed, stacked and delivered by volun-teers. Two men, Arnie White and Glenn Wright, took to the task of moving the playground. They rallied volunteers and dismantled al-most every piece. Climbing gyms, slides, rock walls and teeter-totters. They gathered donations of excavation equipment, gravel, and wood chips. By the first day of school the children had a playground, thanks to White and Wright. About of the equipment was able to be in-stalled by the small but persistent team. The remainder including a massive jungle gym with 3 slides, and a rock climbing structure remain in storage. The 16 person swing set and fully covered basketball/playcourt are still in place at Gates. The current playground is a popular spot with the K-6 set. However, recess often ac-commodates between 100-120 students at one time. The area the children have to play in is about 120 square feet total, thats about 1 square foot per child. Surrounding the play area is an expansive open area with a few trees... plenty of space for the remaining equipment to be installed. So what can we do to help get the play-ground moved? According to Brian Gander, the interim superintendent of schools, the

plans are to wait for drier weather. Dr. Gander also cited the need for hard-scap-ing plans, drainage considerations, lack of funds and con-cerns re: logistics around students and class-es being in session when work is being done.
