Rabid bat bites Stayton dog, warning issued

By Mary Owen

it with a pail, coffee can or other container and place a heavy object on top of the can. If contact betwene the bat and a person or pet occurs, call the local health authority for assistance. If no contact occurs you can release the bat outdoors, preferably at night and away from populated areas.

A rabid bat recently bit a dog owned by a Stayton-area resident, fostering a warning to area residents to take precautions.

The dog, who had a current rabies vaccine, was bitten by the bat on June 12. Testing by Oregon State University confirmed the bat was positive for rabies, resulting in Marion County Public Health’s recommendation that the dog be quarantined for 45 days and given another rabies vaccine.

If a bat gets in the house, turn on the room lights and close the windows. Close the room and closet doors.

Wait for the bat to land. Wearing gloves, place a container over the bat. Slide a piece of cardboard under the container to trap the bat and firmly holding the cardboard in place, turn the container right side up and tape the cardboard tightly.

According to the Oregon Health Authority, bats are the most common carriers of rabies in the state, with 8 to 10 percent testing positive for the viral disease every year.

OHA reports that so far this year three bats have tested positive for rabies in Oregon.

The discovery of a rabid bat has local veterinarians advising owners to make sure their pets are up to date on their rabies vaccine. Animals and their owners can get rabies from bites or open wounds contaminated with infected saliva.

Public health officials warn people to protect their family and pets by not handling bats or other wild animals, especially those that appear sick or injured. Take extreme precautions before attempting to handle a bat by wearing

If you find a sick bat or other sick wildlife on your property, take children and pets indoors. If you have been bitten or scratched by a bat, immediately clean the wound and seek medical attention.

According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, there are 15 bat species in Oregon, including the Big Brown Bat. © MARIE-ANN DALOIA / 123RF.COM

heavy gloves and using a shovel if it is necessary to move it.

Do not approach bats that exhibit odd behavior, such as flopping around on the ground. Isolate the bat and cover

If you have captured a bat, do not crush it or throw it away as intact bats can be tested for rabies. Keep the bat in a cool place and report the incident to Marion County Environmental Health at 503-588-5346.

If your pet has encountered a bat or been bitten by a wild animal, contact your veterinarian immediately or call the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 866-968-2600.

Arrested

Two men captured in connection with Alabama mass murder

By Mary Owen

At a press conference, Morgan County Sheriff Ron Puckett said both suspects are originally from Morgan County and knew everyone in the house. The suspects and three of the victims were part of a local club called the “Seven Deadly Sins,” a small group that was in the process of being dismantled, Puckett said.

Two suspects in an Alabama murder investigation were apprehended at 12:30 p.m. on June 21 by deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, with help from members from the Marion County SWAT team.

“As the investigation in Alabama unfolded, our deputies received information from investigators that the two men may be in the Aumsville/Stayton area, which ultimately resulted in arrest,” said Sheriff Joe Kast of MSCO.

“They also did not have a criminal record,” Puckett said.

“I don’t know that we’ve had any run-ins that would be of any sufficient content to say they were dangerous.”

Frederic “Rick” Allen Rogers, 23, and John Michael Legg, 20, were arrested after deputies observed the men driving a silver/grey Dodge Charger with an Alabama license plate and a traffic stop was initiated. The suspects were detained at gunpoint and taken into custody without incident.

Frederic Rogers

Rogers, of Hartselle, Alabama, and Legg, of Danville, Alabama, are lodged at the Marion County Jail awaiting extradition to Morgan County where the crimes were committed.

The two men are charged with the deaths of Tammy England Muzzey, 45, of Valhermoso Springs; Emily Brooke Payne, 21, of Valhermoso Springs; Roger Lee Jones Jr., 19, of Decatur; Jeramy Wade Roberts, 31, of Athens; William Zane Hodgin, 18, of Sommerville; James Wayne Benford, 22, of Decatur; and a 17-year-old girl. The bodies were recovered in Muzzey’s Valhermoso Springs home where the murders occurred, which was set on fire after the shootings, investigators said.

“The specifics around the extradition of the two men back to Alabama is still being worked on,” Kast said.

“While the specific details have not been worked out, we will be actively working with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office through the extradition process.”

The day prior to the arrests, warrants were issued for the offense of capital murder related to the mass shooting of seven people on June 4 in Valhermoso Springs, near Huntsville, Alabama, and a BOLO was issued nationwide.

Puckett said 25 law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, worked together to “solve this horrible crime.”

Investigators identified a home in Salem as a potential destination, he added.

“This was a very tough case to work,” Puckett said. “But these investigators worked tirelessly to find these killers.

This case would not be solved without their hard work, their dedication and their sacrifice.”

The case is under active investigation and evidence is still being collected.

At the press conference, Puckett reached out to families of the victims, saying investigators did not give up on “your loved ones... these arrests will begin your journey to justice.”

Stayton artist’s new gallery to feature exhibits, classes

diverse people, horses, and sea life.

Local artist Nathan Brown loves promoting the arts in Stayton and the Santiam Canyon.

“People might have seen some of his work around town,” Brown said. “He is working on a commission with the city to do sidewalk art cartoons downtown this summer.”

“Nathan is a visionary and a dreamer,” said Elisabeth Brown of her husband. “[H]e taught youth art classes at the Stayton Public Library through their teen program.

He loved it, but when the children’s librarian stopped working there, that portion of the program went away as well.”

So, Nathan’s vision shifted to opening The 3rd Easel Gallery in downtown Stayton where local artists could show their work and art classes could be taught to local youth, Brown said.

Brown teamed up with his friend Doug Richardson and a meeting with Teri and John Mesa resulted in renting space at the Marketplace at the Grove. By the end of February, the group had researched the viability of another art gallery in Stayton and was ready to move forward.

“COVID-19 brought these plans to a

“For most of that time, Nathan has been working as a freelance artist and has had his own business called Boopher Arts,” she said.

The Browns have lived in Stayton for 12 years and are raising their five children, ages six to 18.

Kelly Ferber, a Salem-based artist with ties to Stayton, will teach paint party classes for adults beginning in July, while Nathan plans to begin offering a fourweek class for youths in late July.

The 3rd Easel Gallery is located at 349 N. Third Ave., Stayton. Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday. An opening celebration will be held at a later date. For more information, call Nathan at 503-979-1856, email 3easelgallery@ gmail.com or visit Facebook.

Each month this full-page will appear in Our Town and once in Canyon Weekly to inform you about the news happening in our focus area.

Like many businesses, the small business owners downtown have worked very hard to survive the pandemic. And the work still goes on. They are coming up with new ways to work, new products to offer, and new determination to make downtown even better. Statistics show that during a recession, it is small entrepreneurs that step up to fill in the gaps in our economy.

Downtown is the most concentrated collection of small entrepreneurs in most cities.

North Third has opened in the old Rumors location.

A Slice of the Pie

Finding control

The benefits of downtime

When I was in my early teens my family spent several summers gillnet fishing on the coast of Alaska. We lived in a onebedroom cabin – me, my much younger sister, my parents and a crewman.

It was an out of the way location to say the least. We arrived by bush plane, shipped everything we would need for the entire summer via cargo ship and then aircraft in gigantic totes, and lived in relative isolation. There were no telephones, no internet (it was the ‘90s after all) and no television. There were no kids my age and no town to socialize in.

What I’ve just described might sound, to some, like a nightmare – and it definitely had its drawbacks (and its adjustment period). To begin with I missed my friends, the phone, the television, my own bedroom – everything!

But slowly, as I leaned in to my new life, I began to realize all of the things I had gained – unstructured time to do the things I loved (reading, writing and drawing) while in the company of the people I looked up to most, my parents.

how much time we spend with our faces turned to a screen and less controlling during the time when it isn’t.

That meant, during a time in my life when I could have become more distant from them – leaning in to social expectations, media pressures and my own hormonal musings – our family actually became closer; working together, cooking together and spending time just talking.

Through the years I’ve thought a lot about those months, especially after becoming a mother. And I’ve often wished that I could offer that same gift to my own children.

But in this increasingly busy world, finding a quiet space, feels impossible. Dragging them off to the wilds of Alaska, as my own parents did, just isn’t in the cards.

So, I have to admit, as scary and crazy as this current COVID-19 crisis is for

I’m trying to let my kids sit with their boredom until they find themselves picking up a pencil or a paintbrush, turning to a favorite book they’ve read 100 times, or running out to the yard as soon as the sun peaks out from behind a cloud.

Avast! Time for home-made adventure.

MELISSA WAGONER

us all, there is a little piece of me that is rejoicing in this one small gift that I can finally offer my children, this time to just be with themselves.

Which is why, dear teachers, coaches and friends, I’m opting out of many of the computerized, learning platforms, Facetime, online practices on offer.

Instead, I am being very thoughtful about

Because these are the things I remember most fondly from my own childhood – not time watching MTV or chatting on the phone with friends (though I’m sure those were fun, too) but the time I spent teaching myself to shuffle a deck of cards, draw faces from the pictures in magazines or bake a loaf of raisin bread without the help of a machine.

And so, while the world may feel like it’s out of control, it’s helpful for me to remember there are some things I can control – and I’m not talking about my stock of toilet paper – I’m talking about the ability to just be here, in this place, with these people I love and to remember what really matters.

Something To Think About

Dangerous waters

Authorities advise caution in North Santiam River

On June 20, a mid-day jump in the river proved fatal.

recreation are urged to be mindful and use extreme caution when swimming.

The victim, Thomas Blazack, and three friends went to Salmon Falls County Park in Lyons.

The Oregon State Marine Board advises the North Santiam River is running with swift current and has areas of large woody debris.

They decided to jump into the river from the rock ledge above. The water temperature was in the 40s. There was a high flow of water due to the weather over the past few weeks making for dangerous river conditions.

It is not recommended for floaters in inner tubes or pool toys, beginner to intermediate paddlers, or others not experienced in avoiding obstacles.

Blazack experienced difficulty making it back to shore. He was pulled under the water and did not resurface.

A 911 call came in from the emergency phone at the park and Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded immediately.

SHELDON TRAVER

Numerous swift water teams from neighboring agencies were called to the scene. Ultimately the rescue operation switched to a recovery operation.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team was able to recover the body,

found in approximately 18 feet of water directly below the falls.

Marion County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team, Marion County Search and Rescue Team, Stayton Fire, Lyons Ambulance, Linn County Sheriff’s

Officials said the tragic event is a strong reminder that with the weather heating up, the heavy flow of the water and the waters being very cold, this is a very dangerous time. Those choosing outdoor

Sports & Recreation

Changing times

OSAA shakes up football leagues for 4A, 2A

And then there were five. As in just five teams in the Oregon West Conference for football.

Monroe, Oakland and Oakridge.

Yes, it’s confusing.

The Oregon School Activities Association has been rejiggering football leagues at the Class 6A and 5A level in recent years.

Now, the group is tweaking the lower classifications.

Stayton and Cascade will be grouped with Newport, Sweet Home and Woodburn in football this fall, should games move forward. Woodburn is an addition, although the Bulldogs already competed in the Class 4A OWC for other sports. Out are Philomath and Sisters. For football.

The good news is that local teams will get a chance to play more nonleague games and be exposed to more teams. The bad news is that only a four-game league season turns every district contest into a pressure-cooker.

It should be noted that in the past eight seasons a total of 11 schools have been in the OWC for football. In addition to

Jesse’s Lawn Service

the teams noted above, North Marion, Yamhill-Carlton, Central and Taft also have participated.

During hoops season the OWC expands to seven teams, with Philomath and Sisters rejoining.

Regis, meanwhile, will get reacquainted with some of its old Tri-River Conference opponents in a Class 2A district with Kennedy, Santiam, Culver, Gervais, Jefferson and Toledo. Last year the Rams were in a league with Monroe, Oakland, Creswell, Jefferson and Central Linn.

Just like in 4A the dance partners change away from football as Regis moves back to the Central Valley. In basketball, that means a grouping with Central Linn, East Linn Christian, Jefferson, Lowell,

Running: A couple of local members of the Stayton Road Runners have passed the test. As part of their training for a half-marathon Casey Dark and Brandon Stoyles completed all 25 club courses in the Stayton-Sublimity area.

Dark and Stoyles are the first to meet the challenge, said club official Mike Bauer.

Most of the routes, Bauer said, are from road runs the club is involved with throughout the year in the Stayton area or from walking/running routes used by the Stayton Road Runners.

Here is a link that will get you to maps of all 25 courses: www.wvi.com/~dnielson/ Pages/RunTheRoutes.htm.

Basketball: A late congratulation to KJ Nyquist of Stayton for being named second team all-state for Class 4A. I’ll forever remember the 37 points she hung on Cascade in January. Good show!

Struggle of rights versus racism an old, old story

In 1976, I was editor of the University of Alaska-Fairbanks bicentennial Alw A called y S the A 1776 c cGazette, e p ta i N g N e w p A t i e N t S project.

It was newspaper that printed the news A N d A l l t yofpthat eS oF iNSurANceS revolutionary year one week at a time.

Relying on microfilms of newspapers that were around back then and on history books, I put together each edition and had it printed and delivered to libraries writing documents that asserted the Godaround the nation. given rights of Americans, the newspapers printed ads offering slaves for sale. And Newspapers then didn’t print the worse, many of them even owned slaves. news as such. They printed letters and

Maria Fife, Leder, I remember one such ad.Carl TheWheadline: FNP-BC PA-C “Raisins for sale.” The first time I saw that ad, I scratched my head and wondered out loud what it could be about. Then it dawned on me: it was about slaves.

General Medicine

How could any American at that time Luckily, I do read a good newspaper every Treatment of Chronic reconcile Illness the verbiage of the Declaration of day, scan the Associated Press – the largest Independence with the reality of slavery? news-gathering organization in the world such as Diabetes/Hypertension – and watch the BBC, where reporting has “We hold these truths to be self-evident, not gone out of style.

of Happiness,” says the Declaration unanimously passed July 4, 1776, by a Congress of the colonies’ greatest thinkers and printed in newspapers.

At the same time, the newspapers printed advertisements selling human beings, who had been kidnapped from their homes in Africa and transported shackled to the decks of ships to the colonies, where they were sold to work on farms and plantations.

During the past month or so, many Americans have taken to the streets protesting the deaths of citizens at the hands of police and vigilantes.

These protests came after more than 40 million Americans lost their jobs and were ordered to stay home for three months at the risk of killing someone.

One of the phrases we all heard was “Stay Home and Save Lives.”

The combination blew the top off our nation. It doesn’t take a Ph.D. to understand that a combination of psychological and financial stress and blatant and continuing criminal behavior

on the part of some “police officers” will set many people off like a skyrocket.

Look, most police officers are good men and women doing their best, often under trying circumstances.

But this undercurrent of racism that goes back nearly 400 years remains in our society.

It persists when we allow a minority of officers to carry an unprofessional attitude along with their badge.

And it is bolstered when we continue to see some Americans as “black” and others as “white” and still others as “Mexicans” or other “minorities.”

We are all Americans, and we share those rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

My hope for this Fourth of July – and for all of that follow – is that we can erase those lines of race and heritage that divide us. In doing that, America really can become great.
