Time to Hooowwwl at the moon, and dance!
photo and story by Roseanna Juhola The Santiam Elementary School Playground mural project is nearly complete. Two of the five panels were mounted last week, and will greet students as they enter the building through the front doors. The other three panels will be mounted on the back wall of the building by the playground. The mural project was sponsored by the PTO and Hearts to Arts as a fund raiser to help with the playground restoration. Local students submitted their artwork for the project. The 5 top drawings were used as the centerpiece for the panels, and the remainder of the art work surrounds the center panels. Canyon artist Denise Sanders provided the expertise to replicate the art work. Thanks to Denise and to all of the patrons who sponsored artwork to help get the playground finished this summer.

The Great Pumpkin’s Ball is coming to the Santiam High School Gym this Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7pm and nothing can stop it now! “This is going to be a stellar event for the entire family. Where else can you go to a costume dance party with your entire family but The Great Pumpkin’s Ball?” said event coordinator Jahn Hoover. So grab your little hobgoblins, witches and ghouls--throw on a little face paint, dust off your dancing shoes and get ready for a howling good time. You will be treated to the vibrant sound of Santiam’s own American Pop Culture Club (pictured below) performing such classics as The Purple People Eater, Werewolves of London and The Monster Mash. And a grand finale performed by the 7th grade Music Enrichment class with choreography that they designed themselves, “ no spoiler alert by announcing that song…..you’ll just have to be there!” said Hoover. Then get ready to get groovin’ for the rest of the evening to the The Flextones, a dynamic dance band from the Willamette Valley will bring their eclectic repertoire of high energy tunes. One thing for sure we don’t want to miss: the Thriller dance competition. Remember the Michael Jackson classic with dancing Zombies? Well, now it is coming to a gym near you!

Santiam Canyon School Board Recognizes Volunteers; votes to sell Gates Elementary Notes from the recent school board meeting by Gay Stuntzner The regular School board meeting on October 9 began with the recognition of three community members who have gone above and beyond in the realm of volunteering: Glenn Wright, Gale Holfert, and Clint Forste. Each has helped with various district projects and was presented with a certificate of appreciation. Then, at every board meeting the “Santiam Spotlight” is directed toward a teacher who gives a comprehensive presentation about the classes they teach. Debbie Fawcett, business education instructor was highlighted. Mrs. Fawcett teaches Computer Enrichment to 7th graders, which explores technology; Computer Applications to grades 9-12; Sports Marketing, a particularly popular class that toured the Nike campus; and Business Lab, where students are learning specific business related skills. Jr. Sr High principal, David Plotts, recognized the highly praised Robotics Club, developed and run by volunteers, Dennis and Susan Chamberlin and Sam Suitt , in which students, grade 7 through 12, are building a robot and working together very well. Todd Miller, Santiam Elementary principal and Superintendent reported that there will be new testing called the EasyCBM for grades K-6 that will test the students’ strengths and weaknesses in math and reading. Yvonne Hanna, school board member, asked whether the decline in test scores reflect several factors, including the impact of the four-day school week rather than five school days per week, and what effects the length of the school day has on student learning and performance. Blended classrooms are also a challenge, as stated by teacher Garry Plotts (blended 4th-5th), who suggested that training for teachers teaching blended classrooms would be helpful. Parents will be sent a report on testing results. Superintendent Miller reported there are currently 550 students in the district (vs. 538 last year) and classrooms are full with fewer substitute teachers available than are needed. And there is also a need to improve the internet ( cont. on page 5)

aren’t the 20-something, testosterone filled, “I’m going to kill you” types like you see on the TV shows. Maybe that’s what they used to be - but now, after having spent their early youth creating national controversy, they’ve figured out how to put on a show with a little more finesse. Don’t get me wrong: there’s still a bucket full of competition and an even bigger bucket full of rivalry, but more often the antics are designed to inspire crowd loyalty.

“We are facing a difficult decision” board chair Richard Moore notes on recent SCSD board meeting continued from page 3
infrastructure (there is an 80% federal reimbursement available). The district’s financial report was given by Martha Highfill, business manager. Although it is early in the year and the picture can change, the district’s negative fund balance is $82,000 (vs. last month’s projected deficit of $313,000), so there is cautious optimism. However, it is not possible to determine the final projection at this time. A long and thoughtful discussion followed about the future of the Gates school property. “We are facing a very difficult decision,” noted Richard Moore, board chair. A number of factors were considered, including the current maintenance costs, the need for additional students to justify reopening the school, and funds would have to be expended to bring the property up to current state school building code standards before reopening. Board members debated a number of questions: Is this property now considered “surplus” property? Should the property be put up for sale? What should be done with the play structure? What must be done to prepare the school if it is put up for sale? Three commercial realtors have looked at the property and made recommendations: Put the school on the market as is; do not subdivide into smaller parcels; remove all objects of importance, including all memorabilia and do not remove any large kitchen items, which may be used by a prospective buyer. A motion to sell the property was passed unanimously. A second motion to sell a one-acre lot also passed unanimously. David Plotts discussed the safety of two district mini-buses, both of which will not pass ODE inspection, so they will be sold. The purchase of new buses will require that they be designed specifically as a school bus, and he is looking into options.
Congratulations to Santiam Elementary School’s first Tigers of the Month for the 2013-14 school year. SES Tigers, in no particular order, are Denzel Irving, Mason Lindemann, Avyn Beattie, Jazmine Irving, Emily Larson, Emma Larsen, Logan Hays, Sheline Nerup, Katie Smith, Hannah Gerdes, Aiden Aerni and Avaya Johnston.

Flue fire season is here The Mill City Volunteer Fire Department has a few tips to help
you stay safe during the heating season. First, have your chimney checked by a qualified person to make sure it is clean and that the mortar on the brick chimney is still in good condition. On metal chimneys you need to look for warped pipes, black discoloration around the seams, which indicate a leak. The department receives many calls for smoke in a residence that was caused by a dirty flue or flue cap. It is very important to always burn dry wood. Burning wet wood in your stove causes creosote and will plug your flue. Watch for signs that your flue is restricted, a whisper of smoke out of the door every time you open it should tell you that it is time to clean or inspect for chimneys. When cleaning ashes out of your stove or fireplace make sure to put them in a metal container away from the house. Make sure you wet them down and leave them long enough to be completely out. Ashes will hold there heat for days, so be very careful with them. Keep everything away at least 3 feet from wood stoves, fireplaces and other heating devices, that includes spare wood you have carried into the house. Storing paper or dry wood under the stove will cause you problems. If you use gas or electric heat, remember that filters need to be cleaned or replaced every year before heavy usage begins. A little precaution now may ave your home and your life!
