Body of missing boy recovered from river Press Release - Linn County Undersheriff Bruce Riley reports deputies have recovered the body of a missing boy who was presumed drowned in the North Santiam River. On June 22, 2012 at 10am, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from a fisherman on the North Santiam River. He told deputies that while fishing from his drift boat near Spencer Hole, which is near the city of Gates, he saw a body floating along the riverbank.

The body was confirmed to be that of the missing 5 year old boy, Anthony Barkley Berlin. Berlin accidentally fell into the river near Niagara Park while fishing with his fa-ther on May 18. Berlin’s body was found 3 miles downstream from where he fell in. A family friend, Eric Eugene Johnson, age 22, jumped into the river in attempt to save Berlin but was swept away by the strong cur-rent and also drowned. Johnson’s body was recovered on May 18, 2012.

The Gates Fire Department and Marion County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the recov-ery efforts. Weddle funeral home is handling the arrangements. As the warm weather approaches, the Sher-iff’s Office would like to remind people to use extreme caution when recreating in and around water, especially rivers and streams. The snowmelt makes water significantly colder and water levels are high, swift and very dangerous.

To the Editor: The Canyon Weekly provides a great ser-vice for the canyon, especially if you are a business. A recent article about our new business, Curt’s Place, not only tripled our business in three days, but gave us expo-sure throughout the Canyon. Because of this article, Breitenbush Hotsprings and the Lodge at Detroit Lake not only referred us as an alternative place

to stay when they had no vacancies, they also looked up on Facebook to provide a phone number and directions. It is won-derful to live in a community where other businesses are aware of the services each business offers and support each other. We appreciate the Canyon Weekly and are very grateful for all who support us.

Gates family loses horse barn to hay fire Gates Fire Department responded to a barn fire on Linnwood Drive last Wednes-day evening at the Borgia residence. The barn (home to Lee Borgia’s horse, Troy, and their cat, Mrs. Lucky) was en-gulfed in flames. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to dampen the flame, but the barn was a total loss. The pets, Troy and Mrs. Lucky, escaped unharmed. The hay stored there, however, burned quickly, along with Chuck Bor-gia’s collection of antique tools and Mod-el-A and Model-T parts. “It breaks my heart,” said Borgia. “But my neighbors really pulled through. Dan Benjamin came by with a couple bales of hay, Harvey Larsen is loaning us a place to store hay and Adamo and her husband

John said they’ll save us some of theirs when they harvest. Troy seems OK - but Mrs. Lucky, she’s pretty shook up.” Borgia credits the fire department for sav-ing the whole neighborhood. “If that fire would have gotten into those tall trees, the way it was rolling under the metal roof, it would have taken off all over.” “These guys are true professionals and their response was fantastic. They were here within 8 minutes, and had the fire knocked down with 3 minutes, then helped clean up all the hay mess. You don’t get that sort of response time in Salem.” The cause of the fire is still under inves-tigation, however Chuck Borgia states he is sure there was a combustion within the hay bales.

Several weeks ago, The Canyon Weekly reported on how hosting an exchange student can grow the school population in the Santiam Canyon School District - and help increase certain types of fund-ing to the local schools. The following is an account of how some of our local families have worked with one exchange student organization for a positive experience.To the Editor, Last week’s paper had an article on three exchange programs to host stu-dents at Santiam. I would like to share another one, which is the program pro-viding both of this year’s Santiam ex-change students. AFS was started by American Field Service personnel following World War I to build relationships between nations. Santiam hosts students through the AFS Scio Chapter. Myself (Bruce) and Janet Sexton have hosted four students through this program and find it very rewarding. This past school year, they hosted Mar-cial Grams from Hamburg, Germany. Mikako Fujiki, from Japan, was hosted by Pam Mentzer. We have also hosted students from Japan, Thailand and Ger-many. We have gone through AFS for a num-ber of reasons. First, the screening pro-cess allows the host family to “choose”

their student. Each time we have decided to host a student, we are interviewed by a volunteer through AFS. After passing the initial screening, we are given brief profiles of as many stu-dents as we want to review. If we find a student that has similar interests to ours, we then get their full profile including family pictures. Only their last name and home town is not disclosed to protect the student. When we settled on Marcial, a second full interview with the volunteer was scheduled. This included a home visit to see the living arrangements and talk about the experience of hosting a stu-dent. Once we finished this, we received Marcial’s email address and home ad-dress to begin building the relationship before he came to America. AFS also has a good support network. At least once a month, a volunteer con-tacts the host family and the student to make sure everything is going smoothly. If there are complications, they offer their services to listen or provide inter-vention. Three times in the year (at the beginning, in January and about a month before leaving) the students have retreats to deal with adjustments, family issues, and connecting with other exchange stu-dents.

Take a Hike Exploring the canyon and beyond with Teri Ottosen

to Marion Lake This treasure located in the Mt Jef-ferson Wilderness sits in a basin above Marion Forks, and is a gateway for many hikes & backpacking adventures. The easy hike winds uphill through the trees and passes the smaller Ann Lake. A short distance past Ann Lake, the trail forks around a large rock knob. Basically, you can hike a big circle and wind up back at the fork no mat-ter which direction you choose. Either direction gets you to Marion Lake. Option 1: Trail #3495 to the right, winds along Marion Creek for approx 0.6 miles, then crosses a foot bridge and continues to Blue Lake. Turn left before crossing this foot bridge and you will arrive at the SW corner of Marion Lake. Continue left to hike the loop. Option 2: Trail #3346 to the left trav-els approx 0.3 miles and dumps out on the northwest side of the lake. Turn right once you reach the lake to hike the loop. This route provides a distant view of Three Fingered Jack immediately upon arrival to the lake. However, the most im-pressive views of the mountain are from the peninsula a bit farther up the trail. If your hobbies also include fishing be sure to bring a pole. The lake is stocked with some very impressive trout. I en-courage you to purchase a Mount Jef-

ferson Wilderness map for guidance. As mentioned earlier there are several other trails in the area so be safe and plan well. Getting There: From Mill City travel east on Hwy 22 approx 36 miles to Mar-ion Forks. Turn left onto Marion Creek Rd #2255 for 4.5 miles to the trailhead. This is a heavy use area so chances are you’ll encounter a lot of other hikers on the trail. Bring your NW Forest pass for your vehicle and fill out a free self issue entry permit located at the trailhead.

There are many reasons to get your veg-etable garden in now this year. Vegetable and berry plants do not need to be isolated in the garden. Many are beautiful and can be incorporated with your other annuals, perennials and shrubs. And with food prices going up, this is a great time plant a few plants in your yard to enjoy harvesting later. For plants like tomatoes, beans, corn, basil and other herbs, zucchini and cu-cumbers, there is no advantage to plant-ing much earlier than June anyway. Just be sure that enough sun can reach them so that the harvest is plentiful and tasty. The soil temperature is often too cold and the night time temperatures are not consistent-ly warm enough to promote strong healthy growth until June. Once you have healthy soil, the fun be-gins in choosing vegetables to plant. If you have children, there are baby carrots, color-

ful radishes, edible pod peas—also known as garden candy—and cherry tomatoes. Nothing like harvesting your own plant to create interest in eating vegetables! Lettuce, cucumbers and carrots make a wonderful salad for hot summer nights. For a more permanent space in your yard, plant some blueberries, huckleberries, grapes or raspberries, which are so tasty in the summer and winter. Rhubarb and ar-tichokes add interest to a flower bed with their bold leaves. At Fresh To You Produce and Garden Center, we can help you decide what and how much to plant—depending on the size of your family and if you want to preserve food for the winter. Also, we grow a lot of produce ourselves, so if you don’t harvest enough from your own yard, come see us. We have had a cold, wet spring—with a few HOT days thrown in to confuse us! Happy gardening!

Rain is scheduled to go away for the summer on June 27, this Wednesday. A few cloudy days are predicted, but we should have dry weather so we can enjoy outdoor activities. The weatherman says we can count on it. River levels are scheduled to drop more later this week, but they have dropped enough so that we can enjoy river trips in different sections this week. Next week should be excellent for both scenic trips and fishing. River temperature has varied from 48 to 54 de-grees at Packsaddle the last few days. Tempera-ture at Green’s Bridge has varied from 52 to 58. Willamette River temperature has been in the mid 60s. This temperature range makes it ideal for steelhead and salmon to quickly come up the Willamette, mainstem Santiam, and North San-tiam up to Green’s Bridge or higher, depending on the time of day. Many fish are quickly going up to Minto Park and Packsaddle, but some are meandering around Mill City and Mehama. Fish will enjoy the cool water in the morning and move upstream in the afternoon as the sun warms the water. In the cool of the evening, some of the

upstream fish come back down-stream to warm up and return again as the river warms up. That process is happening now. Anglers will be more successful if they fish downstream in the morning and upstream in the afternoon. The run from Packsaddle to Mill City has huge waves this week, and they will lessen as the river drops later this week and next week, so they will only be large and tricky. The whirlpools will be smaller also. Mill City to Stayton is a great run this week for both scenery and angling. The portage at the diversion dam is tricky the first time. Stayton to Shelburn is a good run with many tranquil areas and a few shallow places. Fish hang around the shallow islands, especially in the mornings. The drifts below the diversion dam have accumula-tions of both steelhead and salmon. The Willamette River system has a total of 28,793 salmon and 19,132 summer steelhead this season as of June 20. Historically, the North Santiam gets more than any other tributary, This is a great time to plan to enjoy the North

Santiam River during the peak of the season, which lasts all summer or longer.

USFS: Fireworks prohibited on forest

lands

Bill Sanderson’s River ReportJune 27, 2012 503-897-3301 Woodland Escape Ride

50% off regular price!$97.50 per person

(503) [email protected]

The USFS, Detroit Ranger District would like to remind Fourth of July enthusiasts that possessing fireworks or pyrotechnic devices is prohibited on all National Forest lands in Or-egon and Washington because they pose a seri-ous fire-start threat. The penalty for possessing fireworks (including sparklers) can be as high as $5,000, or imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both. Currently, there are no campfire restrictions in the Willamette National Forest, but campers are encouraged to think carefully about their need for a fire and to use a propane stove or other cooking devices whenever possible. As you drive through the forest, watch out for road damage from winter storms (slides, road slumping and downed trees). Engineers will be working throughout the summer to carry out needed repairs. For information about affected roads, visit our Current Conditions webpage at http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/willamette/alerts-notices.

Mill City Fire Dept: 4th of July safety

Be safe on the 4th of July Annual Fire-works Show at Kimmel Park! The fol-lowing tips are offered by members of the Mill City Volunteer Fire Department,

who are organizing the fireworks display. • Spectators should never light fireworks

off in the park. Always obey all ushers or monitors and respect the barriers - the fireworks cannot be lit until every-one is set in place in the park.

• It is possible that a firework compo-nent might fall to the ground without exploding. Do not touch it, call the fire department or police.

• Make sure that your pets are taken care of. Leave your pets at home and turn on the TV or radio to help drown out some of the loud noises.

• Remember to drive slowly and watch out for people walking before and after the fireworks.

The Mill City Volunteer Firemen would like to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.

Stronger Than Ever, the theme for this year’s Fourth of July festivities in Mill City, aptly reflects on the parade’s Grand Marshal. At 79 years old, Peggy Nickich is stron-ger than ever indeed, as if the years have added to her energy and dedication, rath-er than diminished. For 27 years, Peggy has been a tireless volunteer for the Canyon Gleaners - at one point even moving the entire opera-tion onto her back porch when they had nowhere else to go. “I had seen all the food going to waste, and all the need. People fighting to feed their families. I realized there was some-thing I could do about it,” said Peggy, who has been the director of the local Gleaners for the past 11 years. And do something about it she did. Af-ter several moves, the Gleaners now find themselves comfortably housed in the old Stewart’s Grocery building in Mill City where they run a successful second hand/thrift store, in addition to helping 150 families each month to put food on the table. Peggy stresses that this isn’t a charity.

“We’re a self-help program. There is ab-solutely no reason for anyone in this can-yon to go hungry. There is help available - if they want to put a little effort out.” Peggy says the Gleaners is her hobby....but in her spare time she crochets kitchen scrubbies and donates them for sale at the thrift shop.

As a non-profit 501c-3, the income for the Canyon Gleaners comes from selling donated household items at their thrift store, generous grants from several or-ganizations, and from membership dues. In addition to purchasing and transport-ing the foods, the gleaners have rent, utilities and maintenance costs to cover. The Canyon Gleaners is located at 158 Broadway in Mill City and is staffed 100% by volunteers. Donations of food, clean usable household items, and cash are gladly accepted and are tax-de-ductible.

Staff at Mill City Middle School say good bye to their school for the last time. Over the summer, the MCMS campus and staff will welcome the staff from Gates

Elementary, and in September the campus will become the home of Santiam Elementary School! The school will house a K-6 student population, with 7-8th

grade students travelling across the street to attend Santiam High School. Lots of exciting changes to look forward to in the fall!

A swarm of volunteers came to Gates Elementary Saturday. They packed the boxes of library books into vans and trucks and moved the entire library to the newly dubbed Santiam Elementary School Library (Mill City Middle School) in less than 3 hours, all while the rain kept falling! “A big ‘THANK YOU’ to all our volunteers this past week,” said Chris Sherren, Library Aide. “And a very special Thank You to Alicia Corey for all her hard work organizing the move!” On Monday, a smaller group of volunteers helped sort the books onto their new shelves in preparation for eager readers who came on Tuesday, the first day of the Summer Reading Program. There, children gleefully lined up to check out books, and even take home a free one of their own through the First Books program. The Summer Reading Program and the book give-away will continue through the summer every Tuesday and Thursday 10:30-2:30. Pictured: (Right) Staff members and volunteers sort through the boxes to be unload on the new shelves at Santiam Elementary School on Monday.

With current active residential listings in Gates, Mill City and Lyons, there is approximately a one year supply of inventory - so the Santiam Canyon real es-tate market is still favorable to buyers, said realtor Suzette Bou-

dreaux, a broker with Prudential Real Estate Professionals. According to Boudreaux, 11 properties sold in Gates in the last 12 months (5/31/12 YTD) on average for less than $105,000 and 269 days to close.

In Lyons, 8 stick built homes, not on acreage were sold in the last 12 months at a median price less than $130,000 and at 90% of ask-ing price. Realtors recommend that buyers and refinancers take advantage of today’s low in-terest rates - even those un-derwater - to improve their financial position. The Home Affordable Re-finance Program (H.A.R.P)

has been updated and is now more helpful than ever. This program requires the bor-rower to be current on their mort-gage payments for the last twelve months and have an income source, but in most cases the doc-umentation required is lower and an appraisal isn’t required. You can get more information from www.makinghomeafford-able.gov, but many homeowners do well by sitting with a quali-fied Mortgage Loan Counselor to compare options.

GROW/EDC is the new name for the organization formerly known as the North Santiam Canyon Eco-nomic Development Corporation (NSCEDC), which has served the North Santiam communities of Ly-ons through Idanha since 1996. The NSCEDC’s flagship program GROW North Santiam became the focal point of the organization’s ef-forts four years ago - and through its evolution, the leadership decid-ed it was time for a new identity. This identity includes a renewed vision, an updated job description and staff title, a newly designed logo package and a new tagline, “leveraging grassroots resources, helping businesses grow.” Allison McKenzie, whose new title is Executive Director and Entrepreneurial Coach, said, “We

re-branded since our focus for the last several years has been helping businesses, entrepreneurs, organi-zations and communities in a much wider area. We are even looking at expanding some services into oth-er rural Marion and Linn County communities.” The new goal is to be recognized as a national leader in grassroots business development, according to John McGinn, GROW/EDC chairperson. “We currently of-fer free one-on-one consulting, as well as educational opportunities for entrepreneurs in a collaborative setting. Looking forward, we want to continue focusing our efforts on helping entrepreneurs be more ef-fective in their businesses.” Info: Allison McKenzie 503-871-5188 or www.growsantiam.org.

Interested in starting Neighborhood Watch in your neighbor-hood? Mill City Police Commissioner Ann Hollady is col-laborating with Linn County Sheriff’s neighborhood watch liaison, Jim Lepin, to help form new watch groups locally. A Neighborhood Watch is simply when a group of neigh-bors comes together and agrees they’ll pay attention to what’s going on. Sometimes neighbors have monthly barbecues and sometimes they ask each other to keep an eye on their prop-erty while they are on vacation. Info: Commssioner Ann Holaday 503-897-3151 or Linn Co. Sheriff’s Dept Jim Lepin at [email protected].
