Detroit to Estacada cycle route in final stages of planning
A 54-year-old man has gone missing from his Mill City residence. Marion County deputies reported that Gregory D. Johnson left his residence on Sept. 29 at 8:30 a.m. and has not been seen or heard from since. He allegedly left on foot wearing a green camouflage jacket. Deputies believe Johnson suffers from physical and mental health issues. Foul play is not suspected. Anyone with information pertaining to Johnson’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Marion County Sheriff’s Office at (503) 588-5032.
Nearly two years of planning will soon allow Detroit to tap into $250,000,000 bike tourism market in Oregon By Michelle Gates Those who prefer to pedal may soon have some special recognition in Detroit, thanks to the efforts of the Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association. The group has been working to give touring bicyclists a broader place in town by designating NF-46/Hwy 224 as a ride-friendly route for cyclists, starting at Breitenbush Rd in Detroit and ending in Estacada. Organizers are hoping to have their application finalized in the next month, which
will allow them to move forward with installing information signs, and to start promoting the ride through various cycle groups. The final project draft is close to being finished and submitted, pending county and state road managers approval of the sign placement, said organizer Yvonne Messmer. The Cascading Rivers Bikeway, previously known as the Two Rivers Pedal Bikeway, is 72 miles of road that’s categorized as “challenging”. Riders who bike the entire road will climb 6,500 feet: meaning this is one ride that will attract (cont. page 9)

SCSD Superintendent Miller praises community and business partnerships
In recent years, school funding has become an issue that has forced schools to focus limited resources on core functions and courses, leaving many extra-curricular options absent from our schools. This environment makes it vital that we build partnerships with community and business partners to maintain or build new opportunities for our students. As the school year gets underway, we have been actively pursuing partnerships to enhance opportunities for the students of the Santiam Canyon School District. Over the years, we have been working with Santiam Hearts to Arts to offer creative outlets and learning for our students. Our Junior/Senior High School students have access to band, choir and drama with their support. Hearts to Arts has also secured funding to bring the Ethos music program to Santiam Elementary students, initiating arts to our younger students. We are also working with the group to offer an art program that introduces artistic concepts. Another wonderful new opportunity within our district is the addition of a Robotics Club for students in grades 7-12. The club was organized and now led by dedicated community members, Dennis and Susan Chamberlain and Sam Suitt. This program affords a fun new opportunity for students with interests in highly technical mechanics and problem-solving. In another new development, we are working to secure and develop a Healthy Community program from a grant from Oregon State Extension Services and 4-H. This program will provide healthy lifestyle learning opportunities for students and the greater community. It is an

exciting opportunity that could be up and running by November. This new partnership will build a healthy link between our schools and the community. Our partnership is also expanding with Chemeketa Community College. We have long offered the Trio program, which seeks to teach students about responsibility and increase student participation in college, and now we look to add a new mentoring program that could potentially earn our students college credit and add new peer mentors into our district. Along with collaboration programs, we have also been working with community and business partners on school-based projects. It has been amazing to see what can get done by businesses and individuals to support the needs of the schools. We have enhanced our elementary playground to meet the needs of our new elementary by moving playground equipment from Gates and laying a concrete pad for additional recreation opportunities. In addition, we are able to enclose and complete our track/football shed for dual use as a concession stand. The entrance of the elementary school has also been beautified by moving of the Gates Memory Garden and the high school tennis courts are getting basketball hoops installs for during and after school use. None of these projects would have happened without volunteer time and business support. Lastly, the formation and development of the Santiam Canyon Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a real positive step in support of our schools and our students. The organized involvement and support from this group has and will continue to grow student (continued pg 3)

Pure Indulgence Grand Re-Opening Tuesday, October 15
Nothng can stop this mother/duaghter team from pursuing their dreams. Kacy Bear and Kristine Dodge.
The community was stunned on July 19,2013 as they watched a popular new business go up in flames, completely destroyed by an act of arson. Look up the address at 239 Broadway, Mill City and you will see a burnt out smoldering building, while the entrepreneurs watch on in disbelief. Now, less than three months later, this unstoppable mother/daughter team is ready to re-open, and their line of natural soaps and body products is bigger and better than ever. Pure Indulgence, owned by Kacy Bear and Kristine Dodge will be open for business at 115 Wall St. in Mill City starting next Tuesday. Hours will be Tues., Thurs, Fridays 9-5 and weekends after hours by appointment. In addition to their all natural soaps, new products include Santiam Toe Jam, an antibacterial/antifungal foot cream featuring avacado butter, vitamin E and hemp and tea tree oils. Especially good for hunters and boaters whose water logged feet get a bit funky. Kacy will be back doing nails as well, featuring her very own line of natural nail polish 100% formaldehyde, DPB, and toluene free. Colors, especially formulated for locals include Canyon Gold and Pure Indulgence Pink.
Mill City woman organizes March against Monsanto
Protest at Capitol coincides with world wide events to demand the halt of forced acceptance of GMO’s in the food supply
Kimberly Shaver of Mill City is a mother of 3 and has a passion for educating people about the potential dangers in their foods. Over the past several years there has been a great increase in public awareness of Genetically Modified Organisms(GMO’s) quietly being introduced into the world wide food supply, and with them a host of potential human and environmental health risks. So when Shaver learned of World Food Day, a global event to demand the labeling of GMO foods, Shaver jumped on the chance to help. “ I want to raise awareness and educate people so they can choose for themselves whether its worth the risk of their health.... their life and they health and lives of those they love. This call to duty for me is about having our rights back, our basic freedom of choice...,”says Shaver. So, who/what is Monsanto and why should I care? Shaver responds: “Monsanto is responsible for many cancerous chemicals and products including agent orange, DDT,PCB’s, and more. The reckless use of these chemicals calls into question Monsanto’s testing standards, lack of
scientific rigor, disregard for the precautionary principle, and disregard for human life and the ecosystem. In 2000 an open letter from World scientists to all governments concerning Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) was signed by 828 scientists from 84 countries and detailed concerns regarding GMOs. It also called for a 5 year suspension of all GMO crops in order to conduct a comprehensive query of agriculture and food security for all. On March 28th, 2013 the Monsanto Protection Act was signed into law by the US Government allowing Monsanto to promote and plant GMOs and genetically engineered seeds’ free from any judicial litigation that might decide the crops are unsafe. What’s more are the substantial ties between key positions at Monsanto that also hold key positions with the FDA, EPA, and Supreme Courts. Not to mention, the Departments of Commerce, Defense of State, White House, and the Social Security Administration. Genetic engineering is a process where scientists take genes from one species and force it into the DNA of other species. Every
single independent study conducted on the impact of genetically modified food shows that it damages organs, it causes infertility, it causes immune system failure, it causes holes in the GI tract, it causes multiple organ system failure. Monsanto told us that PCBs were safe and yet they were convicted of actually poisoning people in their hometown next to the PCB factory and were fined 7 hundred Million dollars. They told us agent orange was safe, that DDT was safe, and now they are in charge of telling us if their own GMO foods are safe because the FDA doesn’t require a single safety study. The FDA leaves it to Monsanto. The use of GMOs is simply a risk that is not worth taking and they don’t even give us a choice because they are not required to label the food products that are genetically modified. So why am I doing this? It really very simply comes down to love. The tree has many roots, but at its core is the foundation. For me, that foundation is Love!” To join Kimbery Shaver and scores of others across the globe, just show op on Saturday. See flier on page 4 for info. 5
Mari-Linn hosts wrestling star Tony Atlas Popular wrestling fundraiser returns for the third time By Michelle Gates If Halloween isn’t enough of a scream, this school fundraiser might keep your blood pumping for just a bit longer. The guys from West Coast Wrestling Connection are returning again to Mari-Linn School for the third time on November 2 to bring a little more hard core entertainment to the canyon. It’s a chance to let your energy out, and help raise some money for the kids at the school at the same time. This time, the Professional Wrestling Fundraiser is bringing in the big names, like former Mr. USA and WWE Hall of Famer Tony Atlas. He’s big, he’s black, and he’s got the guts to take on the likes of Hulk Hogan. Which he did. Atlas released his autobiography in 2010. The book “Too Much, Too Soon” is the story of the glory days of WWE. He wanted to honor the classic style of the sport.
Back by popular demand!
“The guys that I knew were ruff - rugged - but they all worked hard together and they all loved each other,” said Altas. “We fought together, we did everything....we were like one big family.” These days, the Atlas mostly spends his time in the ring for the fun of it, and he performs at causes like ours because it’s a chance for him to give back. But we think the screaming crowds might have something to do with it. Tony isn’t much of a talker, but he sure puts on a show: he has a lot of fun, and you can see that in every point of the match. General admission is just $5, front row is $10. Tony Atlas is coming to Lyons, and this is one night that you may never get a chance to repeat. November 2, 6-8pm at Mari-Linn School and tickets will be on hand soon at Mehama True Value.
SCSD Alumni Tournament set The 27th Annual Santiam Canyon Alumni

Watershed Council helps to impove water quality and fish habitat Local land owners learn first hand the benefits of a healthy riparian system On Friday, September 27 the North Santiam Watershed Council and the Marion Soil and Water Conservation District hosted a tour of riparian restoration sites in Stayton, Mill City, and Sublimity. The tour provided an opportunity for local residents, natural resource practitioners, and stakeholders to visit with landowners who volunteered to have their land restored and see how the restoration process works on the ground. This tour highlighted the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), which seeks to improve streamside habitat and water quality by planting and maintaining native vegetation in such a way that it stabilizes streambanks. This vegetation also reduces water temperature, erosion, and nutrient enrichment, and also controls the spread of noxious weeds. Landowners participating in CREP view the program as a win-win arrangement. They receive incentive payments for acreage enrolled in the program, and it protects valuable cropland and pastures. The North Santiam Watershed Council has been able to combine CREP service programs with other grants to enhance CREP projects, providing planting and maintenance services beyond what is offered by the program. “CREP has been a great tool to enhance streamside vegetation for
landowners who have croplands or pastures adjacent to streams,” said Rebecca McCoun-Tavers, Coordinator of the North Santiam Watershed Council. The eleven people that attended the tour began at a restoration site on Stout Creek, where 17,000 bareroot plants and 2,500 live willow stakes were planted in 2011. The next stop was a 5.5 acre property on Snake-Deford Creek in Mill City, where the landowner shared his experiences with CREP. This restoration site also included a large wood placement project which was used to create in-stream habitat for various fish and wildlife species, including Chinook and Steelhead. These first two stops were project sites that were implemented and managed by the North Santiam Watershed Council. The final tour stop was on the Pudding River where a local grass seed farmer enrolled acreage under the CREP program and is doing all of the implementation and maintenance. Tour participants learned what is involved in planting and maintaining CREP projects from the landowner’s perspective. To learn more about CREP or other restoration programs in the North Santiam River basin, please contact the North Santiam Watershed Council at 503-930-8202 or council@northsantiam.org.
...Cascading Rivers Bikeway continued from front page cont. from page 1) the serious biker. The group hosted a meeting on October 5 to talk about the final stages of the project. Detroit resident Yvonne Messmer has been one of the main organizers since the start of the project nearly 2 years ago. She gave a presentation to a group of area business owners, homeowners and city government officials, and described the goal of increasing tourism for both Detroit and Estacada, as well as increasing awareness about an area that is full of scenic beauty. Members of the Detroit community seem to fully support the efforts. Two public bike racks have already been installed, and business owners have been approached about offering items specific to cyclists. City Councilor Sandy Franz offered her help to get a few parking spaces designated for the
riders starting on this side of the route. And the project isn’t just being tackled from the Detroit side. Officials in Estacada have been working with Detroit organizers to get the project going. They believe it would help their area fill more campgrounds, as well as promote a healthy lifestyle. The Cascading Rivers Bikeway would be the sixth promoted bike trail in Clackamas County, where Estacada is located - and it would help both cities take advantage of the nearly $250,000,000 spent on bike tourism in Oregon each year. Clackamas County is also dedicating a mobile webpage to the project, said Yvonne Messmer. It will be hosted on www.mthoodterritory.com.
Ride updates will also be posted on www. rideoregonride.com, as well as on the DLRABA website at www.detroitlakeoregon. org. Facebook users can find them at https:// www.facebook.com/TwoRiversPedal.
