Something to do

Bulls, broncs, benefits

By Mary Owen The Santiam Canyon Stampede is more than a great professional rodeo.

For two decades, the Stampede has been a way to benefit the community.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this year’s Stampede is July 22-23 at the Sublimity Harvest Festival grounds.

“As we look back, it’s hard to believe that it has been two decades of donating back to the community, creating change and betterment for all – volunteering, family entertainment, working with kids, lots of growth and change, and let’s not forget, professional rodeo competition,” Stampede spokeswoman Corky Justis said.

Justis credits the rodeo’s success to the Stampede Board, volunteers and business partners.

“Many of them have been with the Stampede since its start,” she said. “We couldn’t do the rodeo without them. The

Stampede ups the ante on entertainment

support we have had from all these people over the years has cemented the bond the board feels toward them. We like to call ourselves a family here at the Stampede.”

Joining in the fun is this year’s Miss Santiam Canyon Stampede Nicole Rice.

Originally from Scappoose, Rice lives in McMinnville.

“She has been a princess twice before and is thrilled to have been crowned queen of the Stampede,” Justis said.

“She is traveling not only in the state of Oregon, but the entire Northwest representing the Stampede at rodeos, parades, schools, queen coronations, and various other events. She really enjoys kids, and would like to invite them to come see her at the Stampede.”

Fan response was positive to the new arena layout last year, and again, seating will be available in the arena, Justis said.

“They loved being down with all the dirtflying action,” she said. “We believe these

get the crowd excited.

This year, the Stampede is bringing back the Donkey Races, and Justis recommends getting a team together and to register for the event.

“Mutton Bustin’ always finds the crowd hopping to their feet to follow the small riders wherever the sheep takes them.”

“It only takes two people,” she said. “One leads and one rides to the marked spot in the arena and then riders switch spots and race for the finish line. It’s a lot of fun and laughs.”

A barrel race for motorcycles versus horses is new this year. Before the rodeo starts, visitors 21 and older can visit the big tent for the Stampede Tailgate for games, prizes and fun, she said.

“We have some special items planned for the Grand Entry this year in honor of our 20th anniversary,” Justis said.

“And junior barrel racing has caught people’s attention. Another kids’ favorite is the Kids’ Corral, and kids get to take advantage of all the fun, free on Friday night thanks to our partner, Sublimity Insurance.”

After the rodeo ends, the high-flying action of X Game Gold medalist and Metal Mulisha rider Justin Homan gets started.

“The crowd loves the thrills and excitement of whip it, superman and backflips, just to name a few,” Justis said.

Helping Hands

Walking for a cure

By Mary Owen Ask anyone who has participated in a Relay for Life event and they will share why they walk around, around and around a track or field even if their feet hurt or they have blisters.

It’s because they can. And it’s something they can do to help in the fight against cancer.

The Stayton Relay for Life is July 8 and 9 at Regis High School. Organizers hope to raise $25,000 at Stayton’s annual event, a fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society.

“Every dollar makes a difference in cancer research and patient services,” said Lynlee Young, community manager for Relay for Life, ACS Great West Division. “In our small community, every team is a key team. All those that attend the relay play an essential role in creating a fun, unique event.”

By the third week in June, 11 teams

and 126 participants had signed up to participate, raising a little more than $18,000 for cancer research by the American Cancer Society.

Teams participating include: Calvary Cares, Farmers Insurance Fighters, Walk and Rollers, Mill-Billy Heart, Wonka-Nators, Miracle Monkey, Raising Hope, Cheers for HOPE, Porters for a Cause and Central Valley District Team.

This year’s theme is “Relaying through the Decades,” and an opening ceremony at 6 p.m. Friday, July 8 at the Regis High School track will start the overnight event, which ends at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Local cancer survivors will share their stories at the opening ceremony.

“The first lap to start the event is comprised of all our cancer survivors sporting their purple shirts,” Young said.

Survivors and caretakers laps will follow the opening ceremony at 6:30 p.m., with cancer survivors taking the first lap.

Something To Celebrate

Fireworks, fun, family

By Mary Owen Throughout the Santiam Canyon, opportunities abound to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

Stayton In Stayton, Suzi Kilby is the parade co-chair for Stayon’s Fourth of July events called “an old-fashioned celebration.”

She said the big news in Stayton is the fireworks and evening’s events will be again at the high school practice field.

With the help of many new community volunteers, Kilby said this year’s celebration will be bigger than ever, with the return of the kids’ games and two bounce houses provided by Electronic Payments of Oregon and manned by the Stayton High School cheerleaders. The games run 5:30 p.m. to dark.

“This year’s parade theme is ‘A Star Spangled Spectacular,’” said Kilby, who is passing on her role of parade director, a job she has carried for 10 years.

Independence Day offers activities for all ages

“The Loyal Order of Moose has presented the Grand Parade for the past decade and will continue to volunteer with this great event.”

This year, Kilby said the Ty Hart Family will be the Grand Marshal’s for the parade. Family members will be joined by the Stayton High football team and cheerleading squad.

Stayton’s festivities start off with the 33rd annual Stayton Old-Time Fourth of July Fun Run & Walk, organized by Stayton Boy Scout Troop 50 with the help of the Stayton Roadrunners. Offering professional timing, the event will have a 3K walk/run, 5K trail run and 10K run.

Registration and check-in begins at 8 a.m. with the race starting at 9 a.m. at the Stayton Community Center. Participants not pre-registered will pay a $15 entry fee at time of registration. T-shirts are available to order with online registration, which is $10. A limited number will be available for purchase on race day.

“Both the runs and walk of this event

will take place on both asphalt and cross-

courses are excellent for the competitive runner, fun runner and walker.”

Folks at Detroit Lake are starting their celebration a little early with Fireworks Over the Lake on Saturday, July 2

“People fill the day with boating, hiking, sunning, socializing and getting ready for an exciting evening,” said Bob Franz, a member of Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association, the major sponsor for the annual event.

Franz calls the approximately 30-minute show an annual favorite, causing the tiny resort town to swell from a few hundred to thousands.

The fireworks show is funded by local residents, businesses and clubs, including DLRABA, and annual events such as the

Something Fun

SummerFest!

Like dogs? There’s something for you.

Like food – plenty of it.

Whether you are a car buff, volleyball fan or like theater, or love shopping, there’s something for almost everyone’s taste at the 21st annual Santiam SummerFest.

SummerFest organizers are looking forward to another bustling day of events on Saturday, July 30 along Third Avenue in historic downtown Stayton.

“We’re excited to offer the 21st annual Santiam SummerFest that brings friends and neighbors together to enjoy the sights, smells and activities of an outdoor street fair,” said Kelly Schreiber, President/CEO of the Stayton-Sublimity Chamber of Commerce, the organization coordinating the event.

“Fond memories are created at SummerFest as people connect with each other in a way that’s so important in building community spirit and pride,” Schreiber added. “In an age of disconnection with social media,

Volleyball, ‘Paint-a-Car’, more entertainment added to street fair

community events such as this bring people together in an essential way.”

SummerFest offers a potpourri of activities, foods and entertainment, including the popular Family Fun Zone, Rotary Ducky Derby, bed races, and the street fair with artisans, craftsmen and groups displaying their products and services they provide for the community.

Organizers expect more than 80 booths, including local businesses and organizations, to line Third Avenue.

The live entertainment tent, in its new location between Monte’s Coins and Upward Bound Camp’s office, will open at 10 a.m. with a theater presentation by the Aumsville Community Theater.

Day-long performances by dancers and musicians and a lunchtime showcase

by Reptile Man will follow, with music continuing until 5 p.m. A variety of food, as well as local brews provided by Santiam Brewery, will be available near the tent.

“Open all day is the Family Fun Zone, an area dedicated to games, rides, activities,

and additional food and treat offerings,” Schreiber said. “The alpacas from Marquam Hill Ranch will join us this year, and MADJEK will be back with the rock wall, bouncy house, and more, delivering hours of family entertainment.”

Additional offerings at the Fun Zone this year include a Paint-a-Car project, thanks to Willamette Collision Center and Santiam Towing & Recovery, with proceeds benefiting North Santiam School District art programs.

Bus Company’s small-bus shuttle to and from the street fair, the historic Brown House open house and the car show.

The shuttles are free, but donations are appreciated.

“At the chamber, we strive to promote local economic vitality and community livability,” Schreiber said. “Stayton, Sublimity, this event is for you!”

New this year, thanks to the help of Knife River, Emery & Sons, and the City of Stayton, the Santiam Canyon Volleyball Club will be organizing games throughout the day, and there will open court times available for festival attendees to enjoy a pick up game of volleyball in the sand.

Santiam SummerFest’s title sponsor is NW Preferred Federal Credit Union.

Major sponsors are: the City of Stayton, Our Town, Pacific Power, Santiam Hospital, Sublimity Insurance, and Boldt, Carlisle and Smith. Supporting sponsors are: Judy Skinner, Lucky Dog Designs, Republic Services, Roth’s Fresh Markets, Stayton Mini Storage, Stayton Builders Mart, and White Water Signs.

Car buffs will find plenty of interest at the car show, where more than 200 cars line up on the grass at Pioneer Park, just a short distance from downtown.

People can take Mill Creek Carriages’ horse-drawn wagon or Mid-Columbia

“You’re sure to see many friends from the surrounding area as well as out-oftown visitors at this popular festival,” Schreiber said. “There are enjoyable activities available for people of all ages and interests. See you July 30.”

Continuing a tradition

Poppa Al’s new owners eager to serve

relocated to Salem several years ago. I had to quit work a couple of years ago to have neck surgery. After that, I took an early retirement and moved to Oregon last winter. After years of wanting to escape the big city, I’m so glad I’m here.

I love it, rain and all!”

By Mary Owen

A Mill City landmark has new owners who are working hard to keep it the best “burger joint” in town.

“Knowing we’ve purchased a real piece of Santiam Canyon history, we are very committed to preserving the Poppa Al’s name and reputation,” said Kevin Muniz, who bought the restaurant in April with long-time friend Ellen Murphy.

Muniz found himself “too young and to poor” to retire.

With just a little money and a lot of time on his hands, he searched for a way to start his own business.

“The previous owners have done a great job of building a good reputation and you just can’t buy that,” Muniz added.

“You have to work to keep it.”

“Also looking for a place to live in the general Salem area, I came across an ad showing that Poppa Al’s was up for sale on the back of a real estate magazine,” he said. “Having stopped there before myself in my travels between the Valley and Central Oregon, I said to myself, ‘Hey, I know that place! Mom-and-pop burger stand, hum, I can do that!”

Muniz said the restaurant will have the same name and menu. “We’ve been very lucky to keep most of the same employees that have helped build a very loyal customer base.”

Muniz contacted a real estate agent and that resulted in forming a business partnership with Murphy and taking over on April 1.

Like Poppa Al’s, Muniz and Murphy have a long history.

The two met in high school when she began dating one of his best friends. “Ellen and that best friend of mine went on to raise a family, while I did the same with a gal I met at work,” he said. “My friend and I kept in touch, and we would often get the families together and go on outings.”

“It’s been a wild ride ever since,” Muniz said.

The new partners have done some minor sprucing up of the restaurant and purchased slightly used but much more modern and efficient refrigerators and freezers. Muniz said they have plans to remodel the restaurant and expand the outdoor deck after the summer season.

Years past, children grew up and moved out on their own, and then both couples grew apart. “But we all remained friends, and I continued to keep in touch with Ellen through my best friend, her ex,” Muniz said. “Ellen had

“Right now our focus is gearing up for a very busy summer

on Highway 22,” he said. “The lake is full, the weather is going to be great, and there are just more and more people discovering all the great resources we have here in the North Santiam Canyon. So aside from opening back up our newly repaired outside dining deck, we don’t plan on any other major changes until after the busy season.”

Muniz said visitors to Poppa Al’s love the famous homemade hamburger buns served with all signature burgers, including the Poppa Al and Momma Al burgers.

Fan favorites include the milkshakes, chicken dumpling soup and Hillbilly burger.

“We’re getting great feedback from the locals, from firsttimers and from dedicated folks who have made Poppa Al’s their stop whenever they travel to Detroit Lake or through the Santiam Pass on their way between Salem and the Bend/Sisters area,” Muniz said.

Since moving to the area, Muniz and Murphy have become involved with local business owners, nonprofits and government agencies working with Travel Oregon to promote tourism in the North Santiam River area. Muniz has joined the Eagles lodge, too.

“Taking on this venture has been challenging, scary, rewarding and fun all at once!” Muniz said.

A novel approach

By Mary Owen A referral program will allow local businesses an opportunity to effortlessly raise funds for new turf and other projects for Stayton High School’s football program.

In April, Electronic Payments of Oregon, a familyowned and operated merchant services provider in Salem, offered to donate a percentage of processing fees from credit and debit card purchases at local businesses to the Stayton High Athletic Booster Club’s GIFT (Grounds Improvement Fundraising Team) program.

to consider the next major athletic grounds improvement projects.”

“This is an easy way to raise some funds from fees businesses are already paying anyway,” he added. “It’s pretty simple. The more referrals, the more money GIFT will receive. The hope is that when GIFT launches its next project, there will already be money available to give them a head start financially to complete the project.”

Forrette pointed out that EPO has quickly become one of the SHS Booster Club’s largest supporters. EPO was a major part of the club’s record-setting annual auction this year, he added.

“We currently have several businesses making the move to this program as they see the benefits it holds for future Eagles in the Stayton community,” he said. “It will grow! I call it a marathon, not a sprint.”

Spokesperson Randy Forrette said the new partnership between EPO and the SHS Booster Club’s GIFT committee will provide consistent sustainable funding for Stayton High School athletics.

Leeper said several businesses have already signed up for the program, which gives back 50 percent of what EPO earns each month to the school.

“Already, the money raised by this partnership is a significant portion of the total needed to provide our area athletes with this ‘state of the art’ playing surface,” Forrette said. “Once the turf project is complete, the monthly income from our EPO partnership will allow the boosters

“We could raise up to $2,000 a month or more,” said Leeper, who hopes to leave a large footprint in the SHS GIFT fundraising effort. “Now a business can see the fees

go to work for their community.” However, Leeper said businesses do not have to be in Stayton to help SHS.

Leeper said the best part of the program is that card fees already paid by the business will help improve the high school and the community.

“This is a referral-based program,” said Jed Leeper, owner of EPO and SHS’s assistant head football coach, defensive coordinator and fundraising coordinator for the football program. “Once EPO receives a referral, we will meet with the business to go over their current plan, match the fees they are paying, and when they sign up, they will be supporters of the EPO-Gift Partnership program for as long as they are with us.”

Stayton High booster uses credit card fees as fundraiser

Forrette said EPO’s fundraising opportunity is also great.

“The best part about this whole program is that it doesn’t cost our area businesses anything!” he said. “Once they sign up with Electronic Payments of Oregon, a portion of the expenses they already pay for will go directly to Stayton High School athletics. EPO will meet or beat any deal they already have with their current merchant services. We hope that every business excepting credit cards in Lyons, Sublimity and Stayton will want to participate in this program and support their local school.”

Your Health

Defeat the bloodsuckers

By Melissa Wagoner

An Internet search reveals hundreds of easy recipes for homemade sprays and lotions.

Summer in Oregon is a time for enjoying the great outdoors.

Items like catnip oil, oil of citronella and oil of lemon eucalyptus can be found at local health food stores.

Unfortunately, a walk in the park, a hike in the woods, a camping trip or even sitting on your front porch can be downright painful when those outdoor spaces are filled with hungry mosquitoes.

If you would rather buy a ready-made product, Silverton resident and owner of Abiqua Naturals Nicole Dennis makes an all-natural insect repellent sold at Shayla Lynn on Water Street.

Before you reach for the chemical sprays, try a few easy methods to keep them at bay.

Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquito larvae.

Make sure to empty buckets, pots and other containers where water may collect.

“It has distilled water, witch hazel and a variety of essential oils. It works quite well,” Dennis said.

She advises avoiding scented lotions, hair products and perfumes, as these can attract unwanted insect attention.

Silverton resident Kera Howell said she has used Listerine mouthwash to keep mosquitoes away.

Remember that mosquitoes are most active during the early morning and evening hours. If you can, avoid being outside during those times.

“It needs to be applied behind your ears, on your wrists and behind your knees,” she said. “It seemed to have worked.”

If alfresco dining and enjoying a beautiful sunrise are on your agenda, keep covered up with long sleeves and pants.

Turn on a fan on the patio or light a citronella candle to convince mosquitoes you mean business.

At the Elder Spirit Herbals Herbal Basics course, Randi Embree teaches students how to use commonly available herbs and weeds for household and cosmetic purposes and simple ailments.

Moving air helps to deter flying insects and citronella has been known to repel them.

To keep mosquitoes away from your picnic or barbecue, Embree said a smudge of garden or white sage is an effective way.

If all else fails, there are some plantbased products that help protect exposed areas of skin.

“Simply dry the herbs and place in a fireproof ceramic or other container and light for a slow burn,” Embree said.

Tips to prevent mosquito bites Make your own ‘bug-off’ spray Randi Embree’s favorite mix of oils is: clove, lavender, orange and eucalyptus.

“It works great and smells good too,” she said.

Ingredients Witch Hazel (like Dickinsons) Distilled or boiled water Vegetable glycerin (optional, but it helps the spray adhere to skin) Oils such as clove, lavender, orange and eucalyptus. You can use just one or mix them up.

Instructions Fill 8 oz. spray bottle 1/2 full with distilled or boiled water Add witch hazel, fill almost to the top Add 1/2 tsp vegetable glycerin Add 30-50 drops of essential oils to desired scent, go easy with clove as it can burn sensitive skin. The more oils used, the stronger the spray will be. Visit Randi’s FB page at: https://www.facebook.com/ elderspiritherbals/ to learn more.

If you do get bit, Embree recommends to her herbal students to chew up a leaf of plantain (plantago lancelota or plantago major) and apply it to bites or stings. A drop of lavender essential oil will help as well.

Demonstrations offer a glimpse into Oregon’s early years

Historic Silver Falls Day Saturday, July 9 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The event takes place Silver Falls State Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in South Falls Lodge, the South Falls Historic neighboring area District with Model T Free admission; and Model A antique $5 to park cars, demonstrations of antique logging tools, flint knapping, horse-shoe making, horse logging demonstrations, yarn spinning and weaving.

“There will also be story telling of historic days in the area, and carriage rides in the afternoon. And the Nature Store will have gifts for sale.”

The Roundhouse Band will play bluegrass music in the courtyard next to the South Falls Lodge, where there will be displays by area historical societies.

“The Forest History Center will have a display of Civilian Conservation Corps artifacts and a list of thousands of names of the 80,000 men who served in the CCC in Oregon,” Nelson said.

A miniature canoe race will celebrate Al Faussett’s 1928 canoe trip over the South Falls. First-, second- and third-place finishes will receive prizes, Nelson added.

It’s 700 wins for Regis coach

Plus collegiate athlete updates

Regis High School baseball coach Don Heuberger is in some rare company.

Heuberger’s Rams finished 14-9 this season and shared the Tri-River Conference title with Kennedy and St. Paul before falling to Weston-McEwen in the Class 2A-1A playoffs.

The 14 victories put him at 700 for his 38-year high school career, which includes 34 years at Regis. The Rams have won or shared 18 league baseball titles under Heuberger, who also has served as the school’s athletic director for 29 years.

Heuberger is just the second Oregon high school baseball coach to reach 700 wins, following the still-active Dave Gasser of Astoria.

But as is usual, The Rams started slowly, opening with a 1-4 record, with three games being canceled by the weather affecting the young team’s development.

But Regis caught fire in the league season, going 13-3 and only an 8-7 loss to Kennedy on the final day of the regular season prevented the Rams from claiming the Tri-River title outright.

Regis was led by three pitchers, all of whom will return next season. Sophomore Brandon Piete led the way with a 0.94 earned run average, while juniors Brycen Schumacher (1.74 ERA) and JaVon Logan (2.29 ERA) also turned in fine seasons.

The team’s lone senior, catcher Andrew Schmitt, led the hitters with a .493

average and 26 RBIs. Logan hit .439 and scored 34 runs, while leadoff hitter Piete batted .361 with 31 runs. The Rams hit .310 as a team.

Piete was named pitcher of the year and player of the year in the TRC, with Piete and Logan also earning first team all-state recognition for Class 2A-1A. “I look forward to next season,” Heuberger said, noting that with all of his pitchers returning the Rams again should be in the thick of things in the Tri-River.

Heuberger also is hoping to add an indoor hitting facility for baseball and softball before the start of the 2017 season.

“We will be actively raising money for the facility to make the dream come true,” Heuberger said.

College results: Here is a look at how athletes with Stayton-area ties fared with college teams this spring (and please get in touch with me if I have missed someone): Nathan Martin: The Corban University sophomore from Cascade won the 200 meters at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships in a schoolrecord 21.80. Martin also ran a leg on the

Nathan Martin, running for Corban University at the Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships, won the 200 meters in a school-record 21.80 seconds.

Warriors’ 4x400 relay took which took fifth and was seventh in the 100. Martin also owns the school record in the 100 (10.92).

Lexi Mitzel: The Corban senior from Cascade took second in the 10,000 meters at the CCC meet and finished her career first on the Warriors’ all-time list in that event. Mitzel also is second at 5,000 meters, third in the half-marathon, fourth in the 1,500 and the pole vault and fifth in the 3,000 steeplechase.

Kristen LaChapelle: The Corban

sophomore from Cascade was sixth in the 10,000 at the CCC meet, is eighth alltime in that event and fourth in the halfmarathon.

Emily Rose: The Corban freshman from Cascade took 14th in the triple jump and 17th in the long jump at the CCC meet.

Liz Ayers: The former Regis High athlete, now a sophomore at Eastern Oregon, took third in the javelin at the CCC meet and added a 10th-place finish in the hammer.

a Grin at the end

Things I wish hadn’t been invented ... turned nearly everyone I know into drones.

As a society, we are spoiled.

We are surrounded by gadgets and gizmos that are supposed to make our lives easier and, by inference, better.

They can’t sit for more than 2 minutes without pulling out their phones and checking messages, emails and other crap that, not too long ago, could wait.

The fact of the matter is, some have done that, and others haven’t.

Some examples:

But these are different times, and it doesn’t make me feel any more secure to know that North Korea, Pakistan, China and Russia have those things pointed at us, or anyone else.

We could definitely do without nuclear weapons. I grew up at the height of the Cold War, and my dad was stationed at the Air Force Strategic Air Command Base closest to Cuban when Krushchev and Kennedy were playing brinkmanship with nuclear-tipped missiles.

We would all be better off without them.

Another item we could do very well without is the smart phone.

I remember the traffic jams caused by people leaving the area because they were sure the area would be the first to get nuked.

When the cell phone first came along, I thought it was pretty terrific.

I could call my wife to tell her I was running late at work or get a hold of any of the kids at anytime and tell them they were late and better get home ASAP.

I also realize that the use of nuclear weapons saved the lives of a million U.S. troops when they were used in Japan to end World War II.

But the advent of smart phones has

Halsey Sheridan Mill City Willamina

The idea that a message or email is more important than the people sitting in the same room is annoying and rude.

I’ve felt like grabbing people’s smart phones and flushing them down the toilet.

We’ve had to ban them at the dinner table in our house, and I wouldn’t mind seeing them disappear altogether.

Then there’s the Internet, which is turning the U.S. and much of the rest of the world into a real-life version of the movie Idiocracy.

People take anything they see on the Internet as Gospel – only it’s not.

They think “chem-trails” – also known

as condensation trails caused by planes traveling through humid air – are going to poison us and a conspiracy is going to turn the nation into a wild animal park.

News flash: Tom Clancy already wrote the novel.

People swallow that stuff hook, line and sinker, and you’re supposed to sit there and listen politely to how your food is poisoned or something else that some idiot cooked up.

America has always loved conspiracy theories, and the Internet is the biggest conspiracy. It’s turning people dumber by foisting that stuff on them.

We as a civilization don’t necessarily need more facts. There are plenty of those. We need more wisdom. We need people who can take the facts at hand and determine a wise course that will benefit all of us as a society.

When a gadget or gizmo comes along that can do that, I’ll be first in line to buy one.
