The Detroit Ranger District is seeking comments on how to clean up hazardous elements at Ruth and Morning Star mining sites in the Opal Creek Recreation Area, said district officials in a press release. The hazardous elements found there in-clude lead, arsenic, iron, and maganese. The mine sites are located about 2 miles east of Jaw Bone Flats, a historic mining camp. The mines were active until the late 1980’s, producing lead and zinc ore. Both mines have the potential to con-taminate nearby watersheds like Battle Axe Creek and “could pose a potential health threat to aquatic ecosystems in the area,” said Grady McMahan, District Ranger for
the Detroit Ranger District. At Ruth Mine, numerous elements exceed-ed either State or Federal restrictions, ac-cording to a preliminary assessment done in October of 2004. Most notably were arsenic (598 mg/kg), lead (6490 mg/kg), chromium (4339 mg/kg), iron (211,968 mg/kg), man-ganese (22,797 mg/kg). At the Morning Star Mine (a.k.a Blue Jay Mine), the most notable elements of con-cern are antimony (616 mg/kg) and lead (4160 mg/kg), according to a preliminary assessment done in July of 2005. The District wants to clean up these sites, and is asking for public input on just how the they think it should

Detroit Ranger District starts clean-up plan at Opal Creek Recreation Area mine sites

Detroit seeks master parks plan, with help from Gates
Fire grant writing classGrant writing class organized by GFDESS helps several local non-profits, including a potential $5,000 grant for Detroit’s Master Parks plan
Detroit Mayor Shari Flanders (speaking) and Detroit City Administrator Christine Pavoni (right) attended the four class
series on grant writing held during October and November.
Some time ago, Gates Fire Chief Gary Swanson started talking with statewide non-profit grant provid-ers. They noticed that they weren’t getting grant applications from the Santiam Canyon area at the same
rates as from other areas. They figured that it wasn’t for lack of need - but perhaps local organi-zations needed some help to learn how to write for donated funds. It turns out that they were right. Over the last two

The shelves at the Mill City/Gates Com-munity Assistance Center, also known at The Food Bank, were eerily empty this last week. “Usually we have a lot more, I have been part of this organization for 20 years now, and have never seen these shelves this bare,” said Mike Stair, pastor of Gates community Church of Christ. Mike and his son Caleb, a frequent vol-unteer, were there to take stock in the stores, and lack thereof. “We are part of
the Marion Polk Food Share program, yet their funding has decreased this year,” said Pastor Stair. The Food Bank is ran entirely by vol-unteers and donations. They gift boxes of foods, at no cost, to low income families in the North Santiam Canyon on Tues-days 8-10 am and Thursdays 6-8 pm. Of note lacking from the shelves were tuna, canned chili or other prepared en-tree types of food. Tomato products and fruits were non-existent. “We pretty
much need everything,” said Pastor Stair, who reported fresh fruits and vegetables were wel-come as well. Recently the local girl scouts gathered 50 pounds of food to share, and throughout this week there are many opportunities to donate. As you glean through the pages here, perhaps you might find your inspiration. For more information call the Mill City/Gates Ministerial Association (503)897-2291
be done. Recommended activities include moving and covering contaminated piles of waste rock, placing boulders for bank and channel stabilization, and monitoring water quality. “This clean-up project will allow us to reduce the threat of hazardous substances being released into Battle Axe Creek, Ruth Creek, and Blue Jay Creek,” said District Ranger Grady McMahan. The District’s evaluation and cost analysis
of the clean up options are online at http://www.fs.usda.gov/goto/willamette/ruth-morningstar-mines and copies of the docu-ments are available at the Detroit Ranger District 44125 Santiam Hwy, Detroit. A 1980 environmental act requires that proposed clean-up activities be designed to minimize risks to human health and the en-vironment from contamination associated with hazardous substances found at the site. The clean up project is part of an ongo-
ing program in the Forest Service to address impacts associated with abandoned and in-active mine sites on National Forest lands. The Forest Service will accept written com-ments regarding the proposal up to 45 days after this notice.

Mine Clean-up (cont’d from page 1)
A new art show featuring the work of Gates artist Paul Toews is hanging on the gallery wall at Rosie’s Mountain Coffee House this month. Toews art is influenced greatly by nature and his profound respect of the lessons learned through observation of the world outside. His pieces include watercolor, acrylics, and pen and ink on wood. Toews spent 40 years working in the woods as a hook tender and a side-rod, running several logging operations, all while maintaining his lifelong artistic callings. He has been teaching and selling art ex-clusively for the past 15 year now, with his main gallery at Art Gone Wild in Stayton.
Toews home studio east of Gates is open by appointment for Sunday afternoon viewing of his more extensive collection.“Art is one way to feel like I’ve not just taken, but contributed,” said Toews. His current display can be seen at Rosie’s Mountain Coffee House at 647 NE San-tiam Boulevard Mill City (on Hwy 22).

months, Gates Fire Dis-trict Emergency Support Services has been hosting a professionally led grant writing series for non-profits, with help from the Doris J. Wipper Fund of The Oregon Com-munity Foundation, The Ford Family Foun-dation and the non-profit Rural Develop-ment Initiatives. Eleven representatives from local groups attended the classes in October and No-vember at Gates Fire Hall. Two of those came from the City of Detroit: Mayor Shari Flanders and City Administrator Christine Pavoni, who brought with them an idea to develop a master parks plan for the city.
They heard about the class from an email sent out by the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce - and they needed $5,000 to po-tentially partner with Oregon State Univer-sity and map out the future of city parks in Detroit. Presently, the city doesn’t have any parks, but they want to turn the now empty el-ementary school grounds into one, said Mayor Flanders. But “before we can have designated parks, the city has to have master plan to detail out what we want to do.” Thanks to the grant writing class, Flanders and Pavoni have completed their applica-tion for the funds. They’ll submit the grant
application to Oregon State Parks and Recreation divi-sion in January, when the funding process for the state opens. Mayor Flanders said that the grant project was much easier for them, thanks to the teaching style of Mer-edith Howell, the class fa-cilitator from Rural Devel-opment Initiatives. “The class was just won-derful,” said Mayor Flan-
ders. “The way Meredith applied the topics to what were working on gave me a better vision of where we had to go.” The hands on class encouraged participants to bring a real grant project with them. It was designed for the beginning grant writer and led students through the steps of bud-geting, how to make an application attrac-tive to funders, what ideas are more fund-able, what exactly is the grant writer’s job vs. the Board of Director’s jobs and other topics on successful grant writing. Class facilitators also brought in a few experts in the field, including representa-tives from local funding organizations, like Louis King, the Program Coordinator from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund, who gave the group some hints on how to get funding from their group, as well as talked one-on-one with the students. Both said that grant writing is a process. “You have to think of the first grant as a process and oh, you might get funded,” said facilitator Meredith Howell. “The first try is always really hard.” Detroit Mayor Shari Flanders anticipates that it will take several years to complete a city park, partly due to some asbestos clean up at the former school.

Heavy rain on occa-sion and some snow melt caused high water all of last week. Detroit Lake
is two feet above the low Winter level, and it drop back down as soon as rainfall slows down. Then, river levels will drop. Until then, we will have high water with good boating and fishing on lower river sections and risky trips on the Packsaddle run. Last Sunday, river volume was 6,770 cfs flow at Packsaddle and the water was 46 de-grees. Most of the normal fishing drifts are flooded out, but there are good drifts below the gravel bars. Mehama river volume was 10,600 and it was 6.4 feet deep. Little North Fork volume was 2,440 cfs, and many steel-head took a break from the floodwaters by going up the little river for a break. Several have been caught miles upstream from the main river. As the main river drops, many of those fish will go back downstream. How-ever, some will stay up there until spawning time. It’s a rare treat to be able to fish the very beautiful Little North Fork for steelhead. River flow forecast is for 6,800 cfs at Pack-saddle for the next week and a half. Weather could change that. A good guess is that boat trips should start below Mill City for at least two weeks until the weather stabilizes at a lower level. The good news is that excellent
runs may be made on lower river sections during the high water flows. River clarity is the most important variable, and the river is clear enough now for successful and enjoy-able trips. Steelheaders Salem Board meets on Dec 5 at 6:30pm at Wholesale Sports. North Santiam Watershed Council meets on Dec 13, 7pm at Stayton Community Center. Steelheaders Sa-lem general membership meeting is a potluck with a good program on December 18 and we will receiver input about the Packsaddle boat ramp. North Santiam River Guides Associa-tion has their annual banquet on January 19 and a regular meeting on January 23 so Karen Hans from Fish and Wildlife can get informa-tion from the club about the Packsaddle ramp project. She will write the permit proposal and a grant request. If desired, Jim Bethel has volunteered to help with the project. Since the Resource and Enhancement board meets in February, the January 23 meeting is neces-sary so the work can be done this year. Learn the River trips start on March 2 with a trip from Green’s Bridge to Santiam Rest Stop at I-5 crossing. Upstream trips are on the first Saturday of the following months. Dramatic weather events would cause a delay in the trips. North Santiam River Trips offers scenic raft trips on all river sections all year round. Driftboat fishing trips also available.

Local SpeakWe asked our locals for their opinion
on this week’s question: By Terri Crall Giving Trees are up in Mill City! Once again the Canyon community is helping those in need during the Christ-mas Season. Ingredients for a traditional Christmas turkey dinner and gifts for all children 6th grade and younger will be given to low income Canyon families. The churches of Mill City and Gates are provid-ing the food boxes, U.S. Bank, Mill City Phar-macy, and Mill City City Hall are donating space for the Giving Trees this year, and many generous community members provide volunteer time and gifts. For those wishing to buy gifts for children, tags are available on Giving Trees at Mill City Pharmacy, and U.S. Bank, and Mill City City Hall. Some are for one child, some are for two or three children in one family. Take one or more tags off the tree, fill out the bottom half and leave it in the box under the tree, and keep the top of the tag. Buy clothing and a toy for each child,
bag each child’s unwrapped gifts sepa-rately, and bring them to the Santiam School District Office by Friday, De-cember 14. Food boxes and gifts will be handed out on Friday, December 21 from 9am-1pm and from 2-6pm. Food pick-up will be at the Mill City Presbyterian Church and gifts will be across the street at Mill City Christian Church.
You must come and pick up your gifts on this day or call ahead of time to make other arrangements. If you send someone else to pick up your food and gifts, you must send a note giving permission for them to pick up your boxes. Money for gifts or food are accepted at one of the participating churches, at U.S. Bank, or at the Santiam School District Office.
Applications for low income families are available at Mill City City Hall, the Santiam School District Office, the Mill City/Gates Community Assistance Center, and Mill City Pharmacy. They must be turned in by Friday, Dec 7 at the Santiam School District Office. Call the Mill City/Gates Ministerial Association (503-897-2291) with any questions.

Come join the cast of Santiam Drama class as they lead us on a journey to re-learn the true meaning of Christmas, in their presentation of Charles Dickens’ classic story, A Christmas Carol. This story, written in 1843, has re-mained a holiday staple throughout the years, providing generations of audiences an opportunity for both entertainment and enlightenment. We follow Ebenezer Scrooge, a broken man on a twisted quest, as he endures su-pernatural visits with Jacob Marly to meet his ghosts of Christmas Past-Present- and Yet to Come. And we celebrate the satis-faction of giving and the sincerity of Tiny Tim’s joy at even the simplest of gifts
“We are presenting the classic version of the story, with a slight comedic twist,at times” said Bill Brown, director and teacher of the Santiam Drama Class. The cast has been working on this pro-duction since the beginning of the school year, and under the tutelage of Mr. Brown it is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Playing one night only, curtain time is 7:30 pm this Saturday, December 8 at Santiam Auditorium in Mill City. Tickets are $5 each and all proceeds go back to supporting the Drama Class at Santiam Jr./Sr. High. The Drama Class is completely self sup-porting and receives no outside funding. This production is family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
It’s time for Slam Dunk Hunger Night!Come cheer on Santiam High’s basket-ball teams while you give your neighbor a helping hand. This Friday night the Santiam Wol-verines take on the Sheridan Spartans in back to back high energy games. Admission for the evening is just 3 cans of food per person, or the regular admis-sion price of $3 per student or $5 adult. All food and proceeds will go to the local community food bank. There will also be raffles throughout the night for $1 per ticket or 6 for $5. Win-
ners of the raffle will have the opportu-nity to make a free throw, or even go for the half court shot. Local businesses have provided prizes for the lucky winners including a big bas-ket full of goodies from Mill City Phar-macy. The Wolverines have gotten off to a good start this year and we are looking forward to a successful season. Last week the Varsity Girls team skated past Gervais with a win of 44-33, while the Varsity Boys team led the crowd on an exciting touch and go winning 46-45.

Congratulations to Mrs. Kent’s 2nd grade class at Santiam Elementary School for winning the first “Box Tops for Education” contest of the school year. Mrs. Kent’s class collected 740 boxtops, and the school collected a total of 2,320 box tops, which earns them $232 to spend on something for their school! And... the winning class gets an ice cream
party to celebrate their success! Each redeemed box top is worth 10 cents that goes directly back into Santiam El-ementary. In the past, their efforts have paid for spe-cial presenters at assemblies, special events and playground equipment. The next contest starts after Thanksgiving, so please save those box tops and labels. If
you don’t know a student to give them to, you can collect them and drop off at various locations around town including Mill City US Bank, Mill City City Hall, and Santiam Elementary School office. Does your business or gathering place safe Box Tops for Education? Let us know so we can pass the word and help earn more great things for our students!
By Sirafima Frolov, Santiam FFA reporter As you already may know Santiam Jr/Sr High hired a new FFA advisor, Kirk Hutchinson, who used to work at Perrydale High School. During his years working at Perrydale, he and his FFA chapter created Food For All, a service learning project sponsored by FFA to teach students a vari-ety of skills while putting food on the table for needy families. Last year this program raised over 200,000 pounds of food that helped many struggling families in need during the holiday season. This program has grown over the years and includes Perrydale, Willamina, Yamhill-Carlton, Amity, Centeral, Sheridan, Dayton and now Santiam FFA Chapters. What sets this food drive apart from oth-
ers is that we go and collect food directly from farms all around Oregon, and then haul it all back to the schools and we pack-age the food ourselves. On Monday, December 10, some of the Santiam FFA kids will be going to the dif-ferent farms that have agreed to donate some of their produce. We will store all the food we have collected in the shop at the high school and are planning to start pack-aging all the food into bags that have also been generously donated. Each family will receive 40 lbs of food in-cluding: 10 lbs of Potatoes; 10 lbs of mixed veggies including beets, rutabaga, parsnip, and turnups, 5 lbs of onions, 2 lbs celery, 2 lbs of carrots, 1 squash, 1 head of cabbage, 2 lbs of pears, 3 lbs of apples, 3 lbs of or-anges, 1/2 lb of dried fruit and 1/2 lb of nuts.
Just in the Santiam canyon area there are 100 families in need that we will give each 40 lbs of food too. We are also giving some of the food to the Food Bank in Mill City and any extra food we have left over will be given to the Oregon Bank. Applications for low income families are available at Mill City City Hall, the San-tiam School District Office, the Mill City/Gates Community Assistance Center, and Mill City Pharmacy. They must be turned in by Friday, Dec 7 at the Santiam School District Office. Call the Mill City/Gates Ministerial Association (503-897-2291) with any questions. Editors note: The sincerity and tenacity of the Santiam FFA students never ceases to amaze and delight us. We are heartened to know these kids are our future leaders.

There is a new kind of vi-rus in my TV set. I’d bet 10 to 1 that every TV set in Santiam Canyon has the same virus. It keeps repeat-ing the same thing over
and over again. “Ask your doctor!” “Ask your doctor!” Sometimes it gets a little snobby and it says: “Ask your healthcare professional!” Marketing people and the FDA refer to this virus as DTC or Direct-To-Consumer advertis-ing. My research indicates that this virus was le-galized in New Zealand in 1981 and the United States in 1997. This is unbelievable! It is illegal everywhere else in the whole wide world but currently allowed in Canada and Mexico but only if broadcast from the U.S. When I was a kid it was against the law to ad-vertise prescription drugs. I remember radio ads about over-the-counter medications. Back in the 1960’s there was a “patent medicine” known as “Hadacol.” When someone asked why they called it “Hadacol” the answer was easy: “Well, they had a call it something so they called it Hadacol!” It was claimed that Hadacol cured everything from arthritis to obesity. In addition to being a vitamin supplement, it also had 12% alcohol. This may explain why it sold so well in the “dry” counties located in the South. The marketing methods used for this item were very basic. The company hired people to go out and ask every drug store in the state if they had
any “Hadacol.” When the druggist said he had never heard of it, they would pout and walk out. A week or so later a cheerful salesman would stop by and take orders from every pharmacy in town. The “Hadacol” legend became a really big deal in the days of radio advertising. TV has changed everything! Today, if you have trouble sleep-ing, heartburn, allergies, arthritis, depression, asthmatic symptoms, runny nose, itchy toes, too much cholesterol, too little energy, dry skin, burning eyes, irregularity, breathing problems, and on and on, the solution is simple: Just turn on the TV and wait a minute or two. It will tell you what to do. An article published November 3, 2012 by The International Business Times has this headline: Doctors Now Hitting Patients with Extra Fees if They Ask Too Many Questions. Wow! To read the entire article just Google: “Doctors now hit-ting patients” And now things are getting worse! There is an-other virus showing up in my TV. It is telling me that I might get a bunch of money if I was harmed by all different kinds of bad drugs, as-bestos or certain defective medical devices. In addition to hearing the TV telling us to “Ask a doctor” it is now telling people to “Call an attor-ney.” Well that makes some sort of sense. Doc-tors have all kinds of answers and Lawyers have all kinds of questions. I’d go on and on with this, but you get the point.

Career opportunity grants available for artists
Two deadlines, December 17, 2012 and April 15, 2013, remain for applications from Oregon artists for the Oregon Arts Commission’s Career Opportunity Grants. Career Opportunity Grants enable artists working in all disciplines to take advan-tage of unique opportunities to advance their careers. The grants, ranging up to $1,500, can fund artists’ participation in opportunities such as national and inter-national exhibits, travel to trade fairs and film festivals, and attendance at confer-ences or workshops to expand artists’ pro-fessional knowledge base. In combination with that program, the Arts Commission manages The Ford Fam-ily Foundation’s Opportunity Grants re-
stricted to mid-career Oregon visual artists. Reviewed at the same time as the Career Opportunity Grant applications, these additional grants range from $1,500 - $7,500 and aid the eligible artists in the creation, produc-tion or exhibition of their work. Applications are accepted only online: http://www.oregonartscommission.org/grants/grants-for-individual-artists Info on the work of prior Career Opportunity grantees is available on the Creative Or-egon section: http://www.oregonartscom-mission.org/creative-oregon .
Trout fishermen yearning to catch a big fish will have the opportunity to do so during the months of December and early January as the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife kicks off its annual brood trout stocking program. That’s when rainbow trout weighing from 7-12 pounds will be released at several lo-cations around the Willamette Valley. The large fish are produced as part of ODFW’s brood trout program at Roaring River hatchery near Scio, one of the agen-cy’s primary trout rearing facilities. Brood trout are 3- and 4-year-old trout used to produce the eggs necessary to sustain the hatchery program. Although trout can continue to produce eggs for many years, at age four they reach what hatchery man-agers consider the point of diminishing returns, according to Luke Allen, manager of Roaring River hatchery. So these are removed from the hatchery system and taken to local fishing holes to make room for the next generation of brood stock. “These are big, beautiful fish,” said Alex
Farrand, fish biologist at ODFW’s South Willamette Watershed District. “For many trout fishermen, the opportunity to catch one of these lunkers is the highlight of the year.” This year brood trout are being released at 10 locations across the Willamette Val-ley – Canby Pond in Canby, Henry Hagg Lake near Forest Grove, Huddleston Pond in Willamina, Junction City Pond near Eu-gene, Mt. Hood Pond in Gresham, Sheri-dan Pond in Sheridan, Timber Linn and Waverly lakes in Albany, Walter Wirth Lake and Walling Pond in Salem. Some of these lakes have already been stocked and the remainder will receive fish next week and periodically during the next 4-6 weeks. Anglers are reminded that Henry Hagg Lake is closed for the winter and will not reopen to fishing until the first Saturday of March 2013. Many of the brood trout exceed 20 inches, which means the daily bag limit on these fish is one per day under Oregon sport fishing regulations.
Future stockings depend on the availability of brood stock, according to Farrand, who explained that these fish aren’t available for release until after they’ve spawned. Any additional stockings will be announced in ODFW’s weekly recreation report, which is posted on-line on Wednesday mornings at www.dfw.state.or.us/RR/willamette. For detailed directions to the release sites, an-glers are encouraged to visit the agency’s on-line trout stocking map, which can be accessed at http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/fishing/trout_stocking_schedules.
