Fire doesn’t dim hopes The cook was in the kitchen when he dropped some butter, The butter hit the open flame and the stove began to sputter.

Flames began to grow, and the wires began to melt, Imagine the great despair that the kitchen crew felt!

But working all together, they put the fire out, A handful of flour, a fire extinguisher, and no time to pout.

The stove was replaced and the crew began to smile, The Community Thanksgiving Dinner came off in style!

By Mary Owen Yes, more than just turkey was cooking just before the annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the Covered Bridge Café.

“We had a small kitchen fire on Nov. 12,” said Cari Sessums, co-owner of the popular café with Christy Sessums. “We had a bit of a hard time getting it out, but finally did using flour.”

While staring at the ruined stove, the cook mentioned he thought the fire was still burning under the griddle top.

Lifting the griddle, which weighs a few hundred pounds, the kitchen crew saw that, indeed, it was still burning.

“We had to use the K extinguisher when he lifted it again,” Sessums said. “It was shorting out all of the wires that control the temperatures and the convection ovens. We did get it off before Range

Thank you for 20 years of support!

We look forward to 20 more!

Volunteers flock to pitch in after kitchen fire threatens Community Thanksgiving Dinner guard went off.”

Sessums called Chief Jay Alley with the Stayton Fire Department, who checked to make sure fire procedures had been adequately followed. Firefighters responding to the call told Sessums she and her crew actually saved the kitchen by following protocol and using the K extinguisher.

“My husband and, of course, Christy came out as it was just myself and a cook working that night,” Sessums said. “After cleaning everything up, we were able to get the stove and flat top working so we could open for regular business.”

Meanwhile, the café had no ovens to cook the 580 pounds of turkey for the upcoming community dinner.

“We decided to order a new stove hoping that it would be here in time,” Sessums said. “Monday, we created a backup plan.”

The North Santiam School District came to the rescue by offering the use of two We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

kitchens to cook the turkeys. Others, including Moxieberry, jumped in with offers to help. The Covered Bridge crew would pick up the turkeys and bring them to their kitchen to slice and broth, and then on the morning of the community dinner, take all – including 37 pans of stuffing – to the Lovin’ Oven, whose crew would finish the cooking.

“It was really going to be harder than ever getting and keeping everything at temp,” Sessums said. “Christy and I were in tears just knowing we could have lost everything, and facing how we were going to pull off the community dinner with no ovens.”

A Friday morning call from the freight company put smiles back on their faces – the oven would be delivered that day!

“We closed to put the new ovens in, and

by Friday afternoon we were back in and would be able to do the community dinner without driving turkeys all over Stayton,” Sessums said.

Despite the challenges, the Covered Bridge Café served more than 1,400 meals on the day before Thanksgiving.

Some 80 volunteers served dinners to those who dined at the restaurant, and almost 700 meals were packaged and delivered by the Stayton Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

“We had some families that were so thankful for this dinner,” Sessums said.

“One gentleman in the dining room share with a server he had just lost his job and didn’t know what he would do next.

A volunteer heard this and reached out with employment for him.”

Sessums wants to thank everyone who came and shared a piece of themselves with others at a table, saying “lots of good stories of kindness and generosity” were shared, making a difference in more than a few lives.

Sessums told of firefighters who had been called to assist a lady who had fallen.

“It was a wonderful evening with a lot of community spirit,” Sessums said.

“The firefighters on call got her up and then drove down to the Bridge,” she said.

“We prepared her a meal, and they took it to her. That is how great our community is.”

“Thank you to every volunteer that took the time to help us, our amazing staff for days of hard work preparing food, and our families that gave countless hours.

We could not have done this without all of you!”

thanked Sessums for feeding them. The mom told her, “After investing every penny we had in the motel we are staying in, I was not sure how I was going to feed my kids tonight, and then I heard about this wonderful little café that was feeding families at no cost. My kids left happy with full bellies. We cannot thank you enough!”

Helping Hands

Trailblazers

By Mary Owen A section of Stayton trails is coming to life, thanks to a project undertaken by local Rotarians.

“For the last three Saturday mornings, a small group of us has gathered to work on the trails,” said Rich Sebens, member of the Stayton Area Rotary chapter and Stayton police chief. “We want our community to be a place outsiders can enjoy. They can stop here to stretch their legs, visit a park, and maybe play some disk golf!”

Fellow Rotarians Mike Jaeger, branch manager at Columbia Bank, also wants to improve the city’s trail system for local citizens and visitors.

“We have beautiful parks and outdoor areas right in our backyard,” Jaeger said.

“We want to capitalize on that.”

The city of Stayton’s long-time goal is to create a trail that “meanders around the edges of the city as well as cutting across the middle of it,” Sebens said.

Rotary tackles Stayton’s Trail Master Plan piece by piece

“New housing developments have recently been installing sections of the trail when the ‘trail plan’ runs through their development, but there are sections of the trail that have never been developed in older parts of the city,” he said. “Rotary has taken these incomplete sections as a project to help put in these trials.”

The effort to improve the trail system started when the two men, joined by fellow Rotarian Dave Phelps, began looking at the city of Stayton’s Trail Master Plan and walking the proposed area. The men then met with NORPAC, which agreed to grant easements for the portion of trail on its property, Carole Sebens said.

“They also met with several businesses to get their buy in,” she said. “That got the ball rolling, and people have been working together to make their vision a reality.”

The section of the city’s Trail Master Plan the team is currently working on runs from Evergreen Street just south of NORPAC along the creek. The trail runs west about three-quarters of a mile, and will cross back over the creek and come

out onto West Washington near Larch.

For the recent trail improvements, Emery & Sons cleared the land and loaned a chipper for the team of volunteers – Rotarians and others – to use, Carole Sebens said.

“Mike Jaeger recruited his son, Sam, and son-in-law, Gerard, to help,” she said.

Hair E–Z family hair salon Holm is also donating a bridge and the bridge design, she added.

“This project is a great example of a community coming together,” she said, “The city of Stayton assisted with trail planning and design. Locally owned Oregon State Bridge Co. helped with trail preparation. [The] Boy Scout Troop is planning to build benches. The North Santiam Water Control is going to assist with clearing the banks of the creek.

And a local citizen has offered to provide Oregon native plants to line the trails.”

Donations are still needed: more chips for the trails, equipment to move the chips, and more people for work parties, and signs.

“We’re always looking for more partners,” said Jan Fiedler, Rotary president.

“Financial donations, equipment or supplies, or just good old-fashioned sweat equity.”

Future work parties will be listed on Stayton Area Rotary’s Facebook page.

“The trails are an excellent way for community members to get out and walk, stroll, or run through the community by

themselves or as a way to connect with others,” Chief Sebens said. “Currently there are at least six organized runs that use parts of the trail system each summer.”

Work on the current section, once completed, will help improve these and other events as well, he added.

“We hope this will encourage other groups, businesses and individuals to get more involved in the community, whether it is to join in with Rotary on the trail system, organizing more ‘fun runs’ or organized bike rides, or some other project or event,” Sebens said.

Rotary’s objective is to “encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.” The service organization strives to meet this objective through activities in five service areas: club, vocational, community, international and new generations.

Wishing you all the creature comforts for a perfect holiday season.

We couldn’t ask for better friends than you.

“They can no longer put in the time that being a board member requires,” said Sonny Newson, longtime board member. “As president, I have had to be in Aumsville many times a month, even many times a week, as the festival drew close. I moved to Milwaukie well over a year ago, and it is just too far away to manage the festival in the manner it requires.”

Newson announced last January that he would stay on to take the festival through its 50th season and then would step down in January 2019.

Newson quelled the rumor that board members stepped down due to the newly elected city council, saying they were not resigning and their leaving was not in any form of protest to the Aumsville elections.

“We are private citizens who stepped up to serve out community and have been doing so for a number of years,” he said. “As our vice president has stated on Facebook, life has a way of changing one’s direction and it has happened to a number of our board members.”

The Aumsville Corn Festival committee has taken a hit recently when key board members stepped down for personal reasons.

CCB# 220814

503-932-2251 Or 503-560-3110 • CLSLLLC@yahoo.com

Newson said Vice President Amy Evans is stepping down due to family health issues.

The board treasurer and secretary are also stepping down due to family issues. All are willing to continue helping with the festival as time allows, Newson said.

“We have all loved working on the festival and with the city, and don’t want to see it fail or dissolve,” he said. “We are not abandoning the festival, we are just stepping down.”

Mayor-elect Derek Clevenger said his understanding was in line with Newson’s information.

“My understanding is that for several of the committee members this decision had been made before the results of the election came out,” said Clevenger said, who intends to be highly involved with the planning of the Corn Festival as an elected representative of the community.

“From my position I believe I will best be able to support the committee by keeping community members engaged,” he added.

Within a few hours of posting on his official Facebook page that help was needed,

ourtownlive.com

Corn Fest has openings Clevenger had “dozens of volunteers – and that number continues to grow.”

“The plan is to make it better,” Clevenger posted. “I already have the ball rolling on quite a few things. Without new members on their board they will dissolve the Corn Festival. So let’s keep it alive and make it that much better!”

Newson said the new board and volunteers will face many challenges. When he stepped in as president five years ago, he said he had little knowledge of undertaking tasks needed to run the festival.

“We had many ideas and a vision of what we wanted to see done,” he said. “Some things worked, some things didn’t. It was a growing time for all of us, just as the new board will come together with a vision of where they want to see the festival go.”

During his time of service, Newson has been putting together a manual of duties, job titles, and a month-by-month timeline of tasks to ease the transition of personnel.

“However, the comments we have heard and seen on Facebook lead us to believe that the folks who are interested in stepping in and taking over want to change pretty much everything,” he said.

“So I’m not sure how much help the manual will be to them, but it will be given to the new board members to use and update as they move forward.”

The Aumsville Corn Festival is a nonprofit effort not connected in function to the city of Aumsville, which runs the parade. The committee runs the festival under its own bylaws, Articles of Incorporation and Memorandum of Understanding with the city.

Newson has interacted with city agencies as needed and conducted meetings with those agencies prior to the festival to ensure a “smooth flow of supporting tasks” which, he said, “has worked superbly over these past five years.”

Committee members do not have to be a resident of Aumsville. Clevenger encourages all who are interested in planning next year’s event to volunteer by sending an e-mail to amy.evans@ wvbco.com. Interested persons are also encouraged to attend the next Aumsville Corn Festival planning committee meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 7 at the Aumsville Community Center.

Freres’ MPP used for new wood products lab Freres Lumber Company has made the final shipment of its new, patented Mass Plywood Panel (MPP) to Oregon State University for use in the construction of the new A.A. “Red” Emmerson Advanced Wood Products Laboratory (AWP).

MPP also supports ecofriendly building practices without compromising stability, produces fewer CO2 emissions than other building materials and is renewable, unlike concrete and steel, according to company-provided information.

MPP is being used for both interior and exterior walls of the AWP as well as roofing in the George W. Peavy Forest Science Center. The two buildings, which form the Oregon Forest Science Center, are incorporating innovative uses of advanced wood products made in Oregon.

Freres Lumber is the third U.S. producer of mass timber panels to achieve certification under the APA – The Engineered Wood Association’s PRG 320 standard since the standard’s inception. This standard covers the manufacturing, qualification and quality assurance requirements.

Freres Lumber’s MPP is a new entrant in the mass timber market. It is the first and only mass timber panel constructed entirely out of Structural Composite Lumber worldwide, which means it uses 20 to 30 percent less wood, costs less, and is as strong or stronger and lighter weight than lumber-based CrossLaminated Timbers.

The 15,000 sq. ft. facility is expected to open by Fall 2019. Sierra Pacific Industries committed $6M to the project in honor of its founder, A.A. “Red” Emmerson.

Freres Lumber, established in 1922, is among Oregon’s premier engineered wood products manufacturing companies.

Volunteers repair Pioneer Park vandalism

By Mary Owen Vandalism put a halt on using the public restrooms at Pioneer Park last month.

“The bathroom stalls in the men’s restroom were kicked in and the divider walls were ripped out of the wall and bent,” said Chief Rick Sebens with the Stayton Police Department. “It was about $5,000 in damages.”

Thanks to Larry Kadlitz who donated his labor and his employer BMS in Hillsboro who donated materials for repairs, the restroom is now usable, Sebens said.

“We’d also like to offer thanks to Walter Zellar of Stayton Computers for donating a video surveillance system,” he added.

A male juvenile was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, Sebens said. If you see an act of vandalism occurring, call 911.

If you discover damage after the fact call the non-emergency number, 503-769-3421.

“We are very thankful to the community for coming together to help solve this crime and for those who helped rebuild the damage,” he said. “This is what makes Stayton great is that community is willing to step up to help!”

Cartwright also volunteers his time as the audio engineer, trainer, public relations officer, and hosts Ken Till Ten five days a week 6-10 p.m. and simulcasts his show with Salem’s KMUZ 88.5 and 100.7 FM.

Santiam Hearts to Arts is finally moving into permanent quarters.

The SH2A board of directors spent six months securing the new location after the Canyon Art Center opted to puts its building on Highway 22 in Mill City up for sale. A nonprofit that preserves, presents and promotes the fine and performing arts throughout the North Santiam Canyon, SH2A was housed in the center for the past three years.

Jeanne Gunner, board president, said finding a place was not an easy task, especially taking into account that SH2A is home to the community radio station, KYAC 94.9 FM.

The radio station operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week with both live deejays and prerecorded shows. The station provides local news, weather and emergency information regularly. Volunteer programmers, including those from the Youth-InBroadcasting program, bring talk, pop, classic rock, jazz, R&B, big band, contemporary rock, early Doo Whop, adult contemporary, classical, easy listening and western swing to the airwaves, according to Ken Cartwright, station manager and program director.

“KYAC has been looking for a permanent home for some time,” Cartwright said. “What could be better than in the center of town and a building built in 1912? Plenty of room for radio, art, music and a stage!”

“Finding a workable space, setting up the technical infrastructure, and actually moving the station and all its broadcasting gear is a major, and daunting, undertaking,” Gunner said.

“Luckily, though, SH2A has been welcome by the Mill City chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, whose mission emphasizes serving the youth and families of the Canyon.”

With its mission complementing that of the IOOF, Gunner said SH2A is helping to renovate and update the Odd Fellows historic building, Stewart’s Hall, in the center of town on Mill City’s Broadway.

“We will be the first of what will be several new community tenants,” Gunner said. “The radio station will have its own dedicated space equivalent to its current quarters. Other SH2A activities – the rehearsals and performances of the Santiam Community Chorus, the Saturday open house arts and crafts sessions, the quarterly shows featuring local artists – will take place in the very capacious main floor.”

Permits, raising walls, and finishing essential upgrades should be completed by the end of the year, Gunner said.

Santiam Hearts to Arts welcomes young and old who would like to become involved with SH2A classes, events, and administration. For information, visit www.santiam2a.org.

By Mary Owen The results are in! This year’s MobilePack, a project of Feed My Starving Children, drew in 1105 community volunteers who packed 972 boxes containing 210,065 meals, enough to feed 575 children for a year.

“It was heartwarming to see the community come together for a project that has a global impact,” said Kelly Fields, Stayton High School business teacher and the local volunteer event coordinator.

Fields said Santiam Canyon MobilePack teams packed 252 boxes – 54,432 meals – for children in Thailand, which were delivered by FMSC’s partner, Venture.

“Venture helps some of the least reached, least resourced children become future Christian leaders,” Field said on the MobilePack, Santiam Canyon, Facebook page.

Venture distributes the FMSC meals in refugee camps and orphanages on the Thailand-Myanmar border, she added.

The remaining 720 boxes – 155,520 meals – were shipped to the Philippines through FMSC’s partner, International Care Ministries. ICM uses FMSC meals in its Transform program, which focuses on values, health and livelihood, Field said.

This was the second year for the MobilePack Santiam Canyon project. The pack-in took place on Nov. 4-6 at Stayton High School. FMSC provided the supplies, and people, organizations and businesses throughout the Santiam Canyon provided the funds and manpower.

“We cannot thank you enough for taking on the responsibilities of hosting this event,” said Nate Shepherd, FMSC development advisor. “What an amazing experience for so many folks in your community!”

Sports & Recreation Aumsville Community Theatre presents A Laura Ingalls Wilder Christmas

By Laurie Brooks Directed by Shannon Rempel

“It’s a homespun little masterpiece, full of spunky, sensible and often poignant Americana” — The Tennessean

Location Rising Star Studios 220 E. Ida St. Stayton, Oregon 503-769-3590

Runner-up finish For the second consecutive year the Santiam High football team fell just short of a state title. Kennedy jumped out to a 28-0 halftime lead and then held off a strong Wolverines surge to take a 31-20 victory Nov. 24 in the Class 2A championship game at Herald White Stadium in Cottage Grove.

The Kennedy win avenged a 44-0 loss to Santiam during Special District 2 play on Sept. 14. The Wolverines, who downed top-ranked Monroe 44-13 in the semifinals, fell to Monroe in the 2017 2A title game.

“Honestly, they weren’t doing much of anything different,” Santiam coach Carl Rupp told Our Town.

“This time they just played harder, were much more aggressive, and it put us on our heels. Hats off to Kennedy, they did a hell of a job.”

Rupp said he knew his players were capable of a comeback.

“I knew we would rally and make it a game. Our guys have too much heart to just take that kind of whooping sitting down. I’m proud of that.”

The Wolverines took the second-half kickoff and drove 61 yards in 12 plays, with Trevor Tinney scoring from the 1. The drive belonged to Tinney, who rushed for 49 yards on 9 carries during the march.

Santiam was forced to start its next drive at the 6 after a JFK punt. Three plays later it was 28-14. On 3rd-and-7 at its own 9, Tinney took a pitch from quarterback Colin Thurston and broke loose down the left sideline. Aided by a screening downfield block from hustling guard Dustin Keys, Tinney finished the 91-yard scoring play, then ran for the two points and it was 28-14 with 2:48 still left in the third period.

Moments later Tinney threw up into a garbage can… and went back into the game.

The Trojans added a critical three points on a field goal with 9:21 to go to make it 31-14.

Tickets

An interception stopped the next Santiam drive, but the Wolverines were able to tack on a final touchdown with 2:23 left when Thurston hit Trevor Whitmire at the back of the end zone.

AumsvilleCommunityTheatre.com

Tinney finished with 210 yards rushing on 26 carries and also caught a pass for 10 yards. He added 6 tackles on defense and was named player of the game for Santiam.

Keys finished his superb high school career with 9 solo tackles, 3 assists and a forced fumble. Thurston and Garrett Wallen had 7 tackles apiece, with Wyatt Lyon and Quinten Cook joining Tinney with 6.

Santiam’s Trevor Tinney looks for running room during the Wolverines’ 31-20 loss to Kennedy in the Class 2A title game.

Tinney turned in a gutsy performance, with 210 yards rushing, 2 touchdowns and a 2-point conversion.

Cascade was the No. 14 seed after closing the Oregon West Conference season on a three-game win streak to take second place behind Sweet Home.

“Overall, it is always nice to make the playoffs,” coach Brandon Bennett told Our Town. “I am proud of my guys for fighting to turn the season around. That being said we left some wins on the table this year. Those mistakes cost us a better seed in the playoffs.”

Cascade senior Macoy Christman was named lineman of the year in the Oregon West and a first-teamer at tight end and the defensive line. Also on the first-team offense for the Cougars were junior running back Ethan Coffey and senior tackle Jacob Shultz. Senior guard Trystin Teal was a second-team choice, while freshman QB Jacob Hage, senior wide receiver Jake Whisman, junior guard Kyle McAlister and junior tackle Caleb Sell received honorable mention.

On defense Whisman was a first-teamer at defensive back, junior DB Elijah Nolan was a second-teamer and junior lineman Brandon White, senior lineman TJ Sly, junior linebacker Ryan Diehl and sophomore DB David Kanoff received honorable mention.

“Obviously, we wanted to end this thing with a first-place finish, so we’re disappointed in that regard,” Rupp said.

“When you take a step back though, this was a hell of a season for us. We never got the chance to sit down and appreciate how much fun we were having because we knew how far we wanted to go.”

Stayton junior QB Ben Rash was named offensive player of the year. He was joined on the first-team offense

by Eagles senior wide receiver Sean Bodi and senior guard Garrett Sandefur. Senior center Morgan Smith and junior tackle Bryce Wheldon earned second-team slots, while junior wide receiver Logan Classen received honorable mention.

Cascade, meanwhile, finished 4-5 after falling to Seaside in the Class 4A round of 16.

Sandefur and Bodi also were first-team on defense at defensive line and defensive back, respectively.

“I am really proud of the season and playoff run we had,” first-year coach Devin Holmes told Our Town. “Winning a league title is never easy, but to do it without losing a game is immense. On top of that I am super excited for this group to be able to say they were the first girls soccer team at Stayton to do it.”

A Grin at the End

The value of money

Get on board and save

I read an article the other day about a radical new financial movement. It’s called Financially Independent, Retire Early, or FIRE for short. These are millennials who live frugally so they can retire early.

So much for brother-in-law advice.

They do it by saving money. What a concept.

The main thing people need is a game plan. Guys like Dave Ramsey and other financial gurus help people do that. With a plan and a little bit of willpower, anyone can pay off their debts and live well.

My wife and I have done that for decades. We were early subscribers to a newsletter called the Tightwad Gazette, which was published by Amy Dacyzyn. Every month she offered tips, ideas and suggestions for living cheap. One of my favorite tips was to reuse dental floss – and I did it.

But the main thing is the whole family has to be on board with the plan. If the wife is doing her part but the husband is wasting money – spending outside the plan – it won’t work. If the husband keeps the finances a secret from the wife, it won’t work. It needs to be a team effort.

But more than anything, it allowed me and my wife to disengage from the rampant consumerism all around us.

Instead of buying a new car every few years, we buy used cars and keep them forever. Our record is a 1987 Honda that we drove for 25 years.

My wife also makes her own kombucha – she was making it 10 years ago, before it became “in.” And she’s a scratch cook and baker. She even mills her own flour.

We learned to tell the difference between “wants” and “needs.” If you do that, you can splurge occasionally without having to worry.

I even got into it professionally. When we lived in the Midwest I became a financial adviser, helping people sort

through their money problems.

Boy howdy, was that an eye-opener. I felt like I needed to be a psychologist more than a money guy. People are funny about money. Some horde it and have the first dollar they ever made. Others spray it across the landscape. They could never have enough money because they always spend it faster than they earn it.

Others don’t trust banks, the stock market – or anyone or anything. They literally keep their money in a coffee can.

Others used the analyses I did for them to make a pile of money. Still others did the analyses but didn’t follow through. One told me he got an investment “tip” from his brother-in-law about a new business that made kitchen counters from soybean straw.

Great Deals on Refurbished Dell i3/i5 Computers* *Call for details K ean ’ s Now making Housecalls Computer tuesdays & repair K E A N thursdays

I asked him what he wanted to do with it.

He said he wanted to set up a foundation to provide a free college education to all of the kids in his church.

That, I told him, is a great idea. I lost track of him after we moved, by I assume that across the Midwest kids are attending college with the help of his generosity – and good financial planning.
