Wetlands Identified in Mill City

A recent study has identified seven areas

of wetland habitat within the Mill City ur-

ban growth boundary which will have fu-

ture impact on how landowners use and

develop their properties.

Mill City Planning Commission is in the

process of developing an ordinance to de-

termine how landowners may use the areas

identified as wetlands.

The study was conducted to ensure that

the city meets current Oregon statutes that

require preservation of wetlands and wet-

land habitats.

Two of the largest areas identified in-

cludes approx. 15 acres of mixed wetlands

located south of town between SE 4th Ave

and Tuers Lane and approx. ten acres lo-

cated to the south of Frank Lumber Mill.

Decisions such as how much buffer

zone would be required (the protective area

of land adjacent to the wetland) and if

landowners can develop replacement wet-

lands to allow building on the current wet-

lands are still yet to be made.

Many landowners affected by the study

have been notified and have assisted re-

searchers in identifying areas of interest.

About 25 local residents attended the ini-

tial public meeting this past Feb 22; prop-

erty owners granted permission for re-

searchers to investigate 48 privately owned

parcels.

The Mill City Planning Commission will

be scheduling another public meeting early

this coming May to readdress the issue.

The wetland study was conducted by

ence in business development consult-

ing, writing, lecturing and investment

McKenzie is no stranger to small

town life or the challenges of building

a diverse economy in rural areas. Her

childhood experiences in Snohomish,

Washington helped inspire her work

with communities that have reinvented

themselves.

―By focusing our efforts on grass

roots business development programs

that get results, we are laying the foun-

dation for renewed prosperity in the

area,‖ said McKenzie.

McKenzie and her 50-member re-

Local Students Take the Stage Once again, the Missoula Children’s Theatre per-formed their magic, taking a group of local students and turning them into stage artists in just a matter of days. ―We met this group on Monday and here they are on Friday presenting The Princess and the Pea,‖ announced tour actor and director John Thomas Ap-pling. Feuding kingdoms, fake princess, dancing dust bun-nies and a couple of feisty leprechauns delighted the crowded Santiam Auditorium this past March 25-26. With a mixture of music and comedy, the group of 24 local student actors, grades K-12 sang and danced their way through a quirky rendition of the classic children's fairy tale. The Missoula Children’s Theatre is a non-profit touring company with the goal ―to teach life skills through theater.‖ In addition, the kids come away

with a sense of pride and accomplishment through line memorization, dedication, hard work, team work, and community. The theatre travels to all 50 states, 17 coun-tries 4 provinces and 2 territories, teaching over 65,000 kids this year alone to audiences totaling over 750,000.

Go to www.mctinc.org to learn more.

The Princess (Lauren Hebing) and her

“Pea” (Grace Goodell) proved to be a

harmonizing duet treat.

her royal court from the Kingdom of Glacierdom.

3rd Annual SpringFest at Fresh to You Produce

The Santiam Canyon’s closest local produce

grower and retailer opened the spring growing

season this past March 24 with their third annual

SpringFest—bringing live music, beautiful vege-

table starts, and gourmet cheese and wine for

canyon residents to sample.

Other treats, like the raspberry and chocolate

covered hazelnuts, and even potatoes with real

dirt on them, impressed the attendees.

Visitors were also signing up for the Communi-

ty Supported Agriculture program, a popular 20

week summer ―produce club‖ that supplies

grown-on-site, seasonal produce (delivered to

Mehama or Salem) for a one time fee.

Local vendors like landscaping and plant grow-

ers, wine from Trexler Farm and Scentsy fra-

grance expert Christy Hendricks helped make the

event a success.

―This is our party to welcome spring,‖ said

Fresh to You Produce owner Nancy Hendricks.

―It can be dreary this time of year...we’re here to

get past that and have a good time.‖

Top: Mill City midwife Elise Er-

ickson and husband Brenden Post

Local Restaurant Helps Fund Japan

Relief Efforts In partnership with the American Red

Cross, local favorite Marion Forks

Restaurant will be donating a portion

of its sales to the relief efforts in Ja-

pan.

The magnitude 8.9 earthquake, fol-

lowing tsunami and nuclear threats

have devastated the country. The

American Red Cross responded in the

first 24 hours with over 400 doctors,

nurses and staff.

To help their efforts, Marion Forks

Restaurant will be donating 10% of the

sales of its signature Tsunami Platter

and Tsunami Drink. Locals can now

enjoy the pizza-size platter with five

types of seafood—and help with relief

efforts at the same time.

The fundraising will continue

through the month of April. ―We just

want to help the people who have been

hurt by this disaster,‖ said owner-

Wayne Rettinger.

Last week, the river volume was pret-

ty stable around 1,300 cubic feet per

second at Packsaddle until extra water

was released from Detroit to help the

new salmon and steelhead smolts mi-

grate downstream. The flow at Me-

hama is likely to be around 3,200 cfs

(4.5 feet deep) for the next ten days if

the rain occurs as planned.

On March 26, the fish passage

at Willamette Falls was a season total

of 3 Chinook, 367 Summer Steelhead,

and 5,131 Winter Steelhead. Salmon

migration goes crazy April thru June

when the temperature is over 50. The

number of early returning fish last year

indicates that we will have a big return

of salmon and a good return of steel-

head this year.

Scheduled Learn the River trips from

Mehama to Stayton will be on May 7,

and the trip from Fishermen’s Bend to

Mehama will be on June 4.

Detroit Lake Recreation Association

meets on April 20 at the Detroit For-

estry building at 6:30 p.m. It is legal to

keep trout caught in Detroit and Big

Cliff, and there are also some salmon

available in both lakes. This group is

capable of dealing with turbidity issues

in the Lake, and they can have a major

impact on water and fish quality.

groups on both scenic raft trips and

driftboat fishing trips all year round. Info: 503-897-3301 www.nsrtrips.com.
