Halloween issue, news in the canyonTRANSCRIPT

“Mommy, mommy that was CREEEEPY!” Sophie, a first grader, came screaming into the house this Halloween afternoon. For eighteen years, The Headless Horseman has been delighting and scar-ing the daylights out of little kids as they exit their bus after an afternoon of play and parties at Gates Elementary School. The more seasoned children smile contentedly. They have survived, year after year, despite the moment of fear. For a generation now the mystery remains: Who is this headless spectre? And what message does he bring each Fall?

Headless Horseman Rides Again
We at The Canyon Weekly are proud and elated to announce our First Anniversary! One year ago, at the end of October, we published our first issue, a four page mini-magazine featuring the current build of the new Gates Fire Department and community center. Today we thank you, the community, for all the support and well wishes throughout the past twelve months. A BIG thank you to all our contribu-tors, advertisers and very patient family members.
When we sit down to write each week we ask our-selves, “What do we want to know more about in the North Santiam Canyon?” Please let us know - what aspects of our communities would you like to know
more about? Write us and let us know! [email protected] or The Canyon
Weekly P.O. Box 721, Lyons, Oregon 97358. Here’s to the next twelve months!
Happy First Anniversary,The Canyon Weekly! Last week, we reported on an ac-
cidental shooting near Silver Falls Park that resulted in the death of a hiker visiting from California. As of Tuesday evening, no charges have been filed, according to the Marion County District Attor-ney’s Office. The incident involved Gene Collier of Turner, who was hunt-ing on private property owned by himself and family members. The released report stated Collier mis-took the hiker, who was dressed in dark clothing and passing through a field, as a bear. This is not the first time Col-lier has found trouble during his wildlife activities. According to Oregon online court records: In 1991, Collier was convicted in Marion County of two misde-
meanor counts of violating wild-life regulations. His punishment included probation, community service and a $1,500 fine; in 1996, he was cited in Lincoln County on accusations of exceeding the bag limit for black rockfish. He was fined $105; in 2004, he was convicted in Wasco County of one misdemeanor count of violating wildlife regulations. His punish-ment included probation, a $625 fine and two-year suspension of his fishing license. The staff of the Canyon Weekly wish to extend condolences for all involved. A reminder to all dur-ing hunting season: Please wear Blaze Orange while hiking or mushroom picking in the woods, and insist your family do the same.

Helping to restore fish habitat, one creek at a time
Stout creek is a tributary that begins at Shelburg Falls near Lyons, and winds its way through mostly private lands before emptying into the N. Santiam. Af-ter years of less than optimal use, this once vibrant creek held little to offer the young salmon who attempted to rear there. Non-native weeds choked out the insect breeding grounds, and silt clouded the water. Enter the North Santiam Watershed Council. Over the past several years, pri-vate landowners living along Stout Creek have been doing their part to improve the health of Stout Creek and its adjacent habitats. Working voluntarily with the Council since 2007, many have controlled invasive weeds and planted native trees and shrubs along the creek to provide wildlife habitat, shade (important
for stream temperature and fish health) and to protect water quality by buffering the creek from adjacent pollutants and sediment. Dennis Jenkins, of Hardwood Componant in Mehama, and an upstream landowner worked with the Council to obtain permits and to design and construct placement of large wood pieces in the stream to improve conditions for native fish including winter steel-head, Coho and spring Chinook salmon, and cutthroat trout that call Stout Creek home. Located along the edge of the streambank the large wood helps form pools, filters sediment, traps gravels, and creates a more complex stream environment. Native trees, shrubs and vegetation are to be planted in February. The North Santiam Watershed Council works together with organizations and landowners to improve the health of the watershed. Funding for Council projects comes from multiple grant sources, including the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board, Meyer Me-morial Trust, and Bonneville Environmental Foundation. If you are a local landowner concerned about the stream in your backyard and what you can to improve it, please contact the Council at 503-0930-8202 or [email protected]

In celebration of Make a Difference Day, about 15 volunteers showed up at Niagra County Park, east of Gates last weekend, pulled on their gloves, and got to work pulling out invasive Eng-lish Ivy and other noxious weeds. Noxious weeds are non-native aggressive plants brought to the U.S. mainly from Europe and Asia and have invaded vast areas across the west, including Marion County. These plants increase soil erosion, rob native plants of water, nutrients and light, reduce wildlife habitat, are potentially toxic & degrade croplands and pastures. And this group of persevering volunteers took a whack at reversing the years of growth. “We put a dent in the ivy, and several folks asked about doing more events to finish the job,” said Liz Redon the Coordinator Contractor for the North San-
tiam Watershed Council, who led the event. English Ivy, brought to the U.S. as an ornamental, is a tough plant that tends to choke out even full grown trees. To ensure eradication it must be pulled out by the roots.

Mushroom season is in full bloom! Or is that full mycelium? Regardless, the nearby forests are full of them, and full of seekers of their delectable flesh. Chantrelles, Matsutakes, Bolletes, hedgehogs, Hen of the Woods, plus a mul-titude more of edibles, medicinals and poisonous alike are lining the trails and hiding in gales. Know before you go seeking fungi for yourself. A clear guidebook, or better yet, a knowledgeable guide is optimal for your fun and safety. (note: many are poisonous!) Also, ALWAYS where bright orange, or red while picking. Rifle hunting season is still in effect. Please also know that the Forest Service at the Detroit of-fice is now issuing permits to pick edible mushrooms, even if is for your own enjoyment. The personal use permits are free. If you are planning on selling the mushrooms for profit there is a $20/10 days or $100/year fee for a permit.Info: call Detroit Ranger Station 503 854-3366.
Fungi Love: living in Mushroom land
For the sake of running, and of Life Over 130 runner set hoof around John Neal Park October 15th to raise funds for a young woman named Jamie Allen. Jamie, just 18 years old, was preparing herself for college when she was diag-nosed with bone cancer. Crista Miller of Lyons had organized fun runs before. The first one was for her neighbor Jeff Silbernagel, who the memorial race is named in honor for. Jeff battled melanoma cancer, without insurance or an income. Sadly, Jeff passed away last year. Now his fam-ily, along with Miller, have started the Jeff Silbernagel Memorial Fund, to help others in the community who are strug-gling with medical needs. Almost $3000 was raised in this one day event, thanks to Crista and others.
Many thanks to: Linn county parks for use of the facility for free; to Life Source for donating all the refreshments after the event; to Stayton Road Run-ners and to all the many local volun-teers- this couldn’t have happened with-out you. Also a big Thank You to our generous sponsors: Santiam Memorial Hospital; G&M Logging; All Around Logging; Canyon Contracting L.L.C.; Canyon Rock Products L.L.C.; Curves for woman and Ace septic who donated the portable toilets.

From Fire Chief Ohrt: Easy on the 911
911 is an emergency telephone number that provides immediate and direct ac-cess to fire, police and emergency medi-cal services. In the past few years the number of calls the department has been receiving from the 911 center have been growing in the non-emergency category. Non-emergency calls add confusion and extra work for the dispatch center and the volunteer responders. Non-emer-gency calls are calls that do not threaten life or property. Illegal burns, telephone or television cables on the ground and medical calls that do not require and am-bulance are all non-emergency calls. The district receives a calls where a person has a cut finger, there is no bleed-ing, and a regular bandage takes care of the problem. This is a non-emergency call and really does not warrant calling out all of the volunteers and an ambu-lance. In these cases the volunteers ad-vise the patient to have someone drive [email protected]

them to the emergency room if they feel they need stitches, instead of tying up the only ambulance in the area. We do not want to discourage people from calling 911 in a true emergency. Please evaluate the situation before calling. A reminder: Volunteers run the calls at the local fire departments and each month they put in many hours of dedi-cated service. They leave work, leave their family functions, miss supper and lots of hours of sleep whenever the whistles blow because someone has called 911. If you need assistance with non-emergency phone numbers, please call the fire department business line at 503 987-2390 and someone will be happy to help you.
Rumor control:Domestic dispute
causes school lockdown
On Halloween, the staff at the Mill City Middle School was alerted that a domestic dispute was happening. Fam-ily members were concerned that chil-dren involved may be picked up by one of the disputing parents. The school took precautions to safeguard the stu-dents and had a “lock down,” meaning that no one could go in or out of the school for 1 ½ hours, while the issue was resolved. “Unfortunately on some of these cases we have to become the referee,” said Brad Yates, Superintendent of the Santiam Canyon School District. Contrary to rumors, there were no weapons or potential danger to the stu-dents, and the children involved were released safely to family.
Nuts and Bolts serves up Cider and donuts
Sunday, November 6 from 2-4pm there will be a Cider & Donut Social at Gates Fire Hall for members of the NUTS & BOLTS SOCIETY. Stop by for refreshments, a musical performance by Santiam Community Chorus at 3-3:30pm, tours of fire hall, and special museum exhibits like a “bed of nails”. Questions? Call Randa at 503-897-3902.

Around Lyons, it’s known as the day the parade comes to town. For the kids of Mari-Linn School, it’s known as the Red Ribbon Parade - a time to march down main street and let the community know their stance on staying drug-free. Last Thursday, the annual parade event kicked off Red Ribbon week. In 1985, DEA Special Agent “Kiki” Ca-marena was kidnapped and murdered by Mexican drug traffickers during an intense investigation.. Red Ribbon Week began in 1988 as a way to hon-or his life. Ten years later, Mari-Linn School joined the observance with a parade and assembly. They’ve been do-ing it ever since. “The message is always the same,” said Principal Jeri Loftus in her student newsletter. “Make positive choices to-ward a healthy lifestyle to have a suc-cessful life.” The entire school marched down 5th Street in Lyons, then looped through the neighborhood off Birch St. Some
students carried signs, others wore signs while the school band played atop an STR flatbed truck. The Lyons Fire Dept. escorted the group. When they got back, students assem-bled in the gym to hear from Break the Chain owner Tami Burns, who spoke against bullying, domestic violence and drug use. Many of them also got academic and behavior awards, including those for reading, writing essays, random acts of kindness, conserving energy and es-timating. Fourth grader Seth guessed 119 pieces at the estimation station, just one shy of the actual 120. It was also the first performance for the newly created Mari-Linn choir, led by music teacher Steve Dalrymple. The school recognized 26 students for academic excellence - 22 students with a 3.0 or higher and four students with a perfect 4.0 grade. “I’m really proud to hold this huge stack of certificates,” said Principal Jeri Loftus.

Bill Sanderson’s River ReportNovember 2, 2011 503-897-3301
We had so much wind and rain last week (in spurts) that the power went out and the river rose quickly and dropped again. That change in volume caused some of the fish from the lower river sections to move up-stream into both the middle and upper sec-tions. Coho salmon are very, very fresh and they have started some activity in Stayton and Mehama. Some are up around Minto and Packsaddle, but most of them are just ar-riving in the middle sections. November 1 (today) is the first day it is legal to keep Coho (silver salmon) upstream from Stay-ton. Many of them will hang out around the mouths of Stout Creek, Little North Fork, and in the drifts and pools below Neal Park. River volume at Packsaddle is scheduled to increase a little more, and it may in-crease up to 3,400 cubic feet per second from November 1 through November 10. The forecast changes frequently. Big rafts can enjoy river trips on all sec-tions from Packsaddle downstream all the way to the Willamette River. The Packsad-dle run is very wet and wild, and runs from Fishermen’s Bend and lower have lots of moderate whitewater. There is something interesting to learn about each of the river runs (there are at least five different sec-tions), and this is an excellent time of year to enjoy the change of the seasons. The peak of the Fall colors is upon us now, and leaves are starting to fall. We can see more of the river banks because the trees are thinning out. Some brilliant red is still on the vine maples, and there is much rose and gold and tan showing on the trees and on the ground. Photography is really good during this color festival.

November 8 Special Election
In an email sent to voters on Octo-ber 27, the following persons voiced
their opinions of the measures up for vote. It is endorsed by these
local business owners & residents: Mt. High Grocery- Dean O’Donnell,
The Cedars Restaurant-Oliver Layman, The Korner Post Restau-rant- Rick Ladbury, Robert Franz, Jeanette Hartwell, Kim Fowler &
Eric Page. 24-321 Clarifies residency re-quirement to hold elective of-fice in the City. VOTE NO! This measure is intended to lock out part time residents from hav-ing a voice in local govern-ment. If this measure passes, city government will be worse than ever. Part time residents are very important to our local economy and culture. 24-322 Requires Mayor to be an elect-ed City Council Member VOTE
NO! This measure would not al-low citizens who decide to run for City Council to be eligible to be nominated as a Mayoral candidate. This measure is an at-tempt to blunt the small business interests of Detroit from having a voice on the council. 24-323 Requires Mayor to have eigh-teen months prior city council-or experience VOTE NO! This measure would strangle the city council’s ability to elect effec-tive leadership as Mayor. This is an attempt again to lock out the Detroit small business com-munity from having a voice on city council. Some legal experts believe this measure is uncon-stitutional and would likely be challenged in court, but don’t let it get that far.
