Former Mehama school to become new community youth center By Michelle Gates
Apparently the organizers of a new youth community center in Mehama are tired of the local kids throwing rocks through windows. Granted, the local police report isn’t usually full of reports of wayward kids and their rocks, but it’s just one of the reasons that a group of about 100 people are coming together to renovate the old Mehama primary school into a new place for youth to go. Right now, there’s 15 kids in Lyons and Mehama that go to the local church youth groups. But leaders of these groups admit that the religious aspect may be a drawback for some youngsters who would otherwise want to check out what’s going on. So they’ve worked with the North Santiam School District to lease the Mehama school building on SE Emma St. for a dollar a year, for the next 20 years. The center will be run under the Mehama Community Church, but mostly because they’re the only organization in that community that qualifies to use the building. “It won’t be church, but it will be under Christian direction because that is who we are,” said organizer Ron Adams. The original property owner Mehama Smith gave the land and building to the North Santiam School District to be used for a school - and if not, it would revert back to his heirs. It’s no longer needed for a school, and since they can’t find any heirs, it reverts back to the community of Mehama. And the church is the only organization in Mehama that qualifies to manage the property that’s located above Don’s Gas Station, said Adams. The entire project is volunteer run - both financially and through volunteer labor. Donation jars are out at all the local businesses and work parties are being scheduled for every Saturday. An advisory board in also being formed. (cont. on page 5)
The pounding rains and high winds raised havoc across the entire Pacific Northwest last weekend. Here, on Alder St. in Mill City, a large tree broke, taking down a power line.
Foragers safe after night in stormy woods Marion & Linn County Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue Teams were kept very busy Saturday night, looking for two mushroom pickers who had become separated from two different groups of pickers. Hun Meas, 31, of Salem went to an area off McCoy Road and Highway 22 near Detroit, with three other friends on Saturday afternoon. They intended to search the forest for mushrooms. Meas became separated from the group around 5:00pm. The group drove around on several forest roads trying to find him, but eventually called 911 to request assistance from the Sheriff’s Office. Due to the stormy weather conditions and pending darkness, deputies established a containment perimeter and continued to search for Meas along
the forest roads. At about 6:17pm, 911 dispatchers received a call of a second missing mushroom picker. She had become separated from her group about 1/2 mile from the area where Meas and his groups were searching for mushrooms. She was identified as Deena Maria Scalia, 56, of Salem. Neither Meas nor Scalia had overnight supplies, food or extra clothing. Scalia’s family members came to the search area to assist. At one point, they were able to make out her faint calls for help, but the wind moving through the trees made it impossible to locate her. Deputies located what appeared to be pink marking tape on several bushes. The tape is often used to mark a trial to assist in (cont. on page 9)

Lyons resident says, “Can someone please take the jagged knife out of our city government?”
If you live in Lyons, your city council is a mess. It’s so much a mess that the members of the city government are working with a mediator to try to figure things out. They’re bringing in outside help because there is so much friction. I got asked a few years ago to run for city council. I said no, and this is why: every city councilor, and every mayor, in every community that this newspaper covers, has come under fire for doing something that they felt was right at the time. Be it a decision about funds, roads or policy almost every one of them has done something that somebody didn’t like. In bigger cities, people in these positions are paid, and perhaps that makes it seem a little better that they have to deal with the chance of meeting a constituent on the street, and hear more about how they did their volunteer job wrong. But for those who represent our little towns, I wonder sometimes why they show up for meetings every month. They don’t get paid. Perhaps they get a little pride for being voted in as mayor or councilor. Most often, I get the feeling that they really want to help make their town a little better. Often that’s just what they do. On rare occasions, I have wondered why some of them are there in the first place. I’ve spent a total of ten hours this past week viewing and reviewing what happened at the last Lyons City Council meeting on September 24. Four hours of that was spent on a old pew bench, at the city council chambers in Lyons. The seats are hard, and the line between
Giovanni’s Mt. Pizza We offer over 50 types of beer, and gluten free options too!
Highway 22 (503) 897-2614 Mill City, OR 2
the people who make the decisions about this small town is a long brown table. The saddest part of the meeting? That the council spent so much time deciding when they stop being city representatives and start being a private citizen. When a councilor steps to the other side of the table, does that mean they are no longer viewed as a face that does our city proud? Council decided that the answer to that question is yes. But what I really see is a discord, like someone stuck a big old jagged knife down the center of our city government. Councilors are stealing personal notes. City staff are being questioned at every move. Rules are being clarified and reread. Patrons are walking out of meetings in disgust. Trust is being lost, and time and resources are being wasted. I can speculate why. I can spend another 20 hours digging up papers and emails and documents about what has happened in the last few years. I could write about a whole bunch of stuff that would get a whole bunch of people talking. But I don’t think that’s going to do any good, because chances are that if you are reading this, you already have your own opinion. If you have no idea, maybe it’s time to find out. Go to a meeting. Or watch the video here: http://www.sctcweb.com/ videos/?vid=189. In the words of one patron: “It’s not Lyons. It’s not Mehama. It’s not Lyons-Mehama or Mehama-Lyons. We’re all one community.” I can only hope that all of the members of our city government start to see it that way. Michelle Gates, Lyons

Patrick Hawe, Cascade Resource Area Hydrologist with the BLM, will be presenting an update on the Evans Creek Slide to the North Santiam Watershed Council during the regular monthly steering meeting held at the Stayton Community Center on Thursday October 10th at 7:00 pm. Evan’s Creek, once pristine, is now a muddy tributary to the Little North Fork of the Santiam. The presentation will discuss the current status of the Evan’s Creek landslide, and BLM efforts to stabilize it, as well as sediment and water quality in the North Santiam basin and how this relates to the landslide on Evan’s Creek. A site tour will take place the following Saturday October 12th at 11am. Participants will have an opportunity to hike from the blocked site on Evan’s Road down to the top of the most active portion of the slide escarpment. They will be able to observe the slide in progress and ask questions, many of which cannot be answered! Requires sturdy boots and legs. In addition, there will be an opportunity to stop and tour a portion of a harvest unit that is in the BLM Evan’s Mountain proposal.

Mehama youth center to be up and running by July 4, 2014
(cont from page 1) Two weeks ago, Adams presented the project to the Lyons City Council. Because the property lies within Lyons Urban Growth Boundary, he wanted to check for ordinance conflicts. Adams also requested the Council’s help in persuading Marion County, and Commissioner Sam Brentano, to re-pave the section of Emma St that leads to the school. Generally, the Council members appeared to view the project as a positive one. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Councilor Mark Orr. “I appreciate you being involved. It’s been a long time coming, and a big welcome to everyone involved.” Mayor Dan Burroughs also offered to pull stumps for the project. The plan is to have the youth center up and running by July 4, 2014. Anyone interested in participating can contact the Mehama Community Church, the Santiam Chapel or the Canyon Bible Fellowship. Volunteers and donations are welcome. “The school district thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and they’re all in favor of it,” said Ron Adams. “Maybe we can snag some of those kids, and instead of throwing rocks, they can come here instead.”
Marion County Veterans’ Treatment Docket receives $348,435 federal grant
Marion County Sheriff Jason Myers is pleased to announce that the Marion County Veterans’ Treatment Docket has been awarded a $348,435 Federal Grant by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Currently there are fifteen veterans participating in this program. The goal is to assist veterans who enter the legal system due, in part, to service related issues such as combat stress and injuries. The docket focuses on ensuring that veterans who appear for nonviolent offenses are connected to veterans’ services benefits and mentors. The federal grant will allow the docket to expand, serving up to 60 veteran participants. Circuit Court Judge Vance Day presides over the Marion County Veterans’ Treatment Docket. The success of the grant application is directly attributable to the partnership between the Marion County Circuit Court, the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs, and the Marion County District Attorney’s Office.The Marion County Sheriff’s Office assisted Judge Day’s grant writing team in preparing

and finalizing the federal application. “The Marion County Veterans’ Docket team has been tremendous in its efforts to assist veterans in the community and we look forward to the expansion of our continued partnership,” said Sheriff Jason Myers. “The welfare of Oregon’s military is a top priority. We are grateful for the support from law enforcement and the court and appreciate their recognition of potential service connected challenges,” said Capt. Stephen Bomar, Director of Public Affairs for the Oregon Military Department. The Bureau of Justice Assistance grant will be disbursed over the next three years through Marion County and will be used to partially staff the court, train personnel, and assist the veteran participants. Marion County Commissioners formally accepted the grant at its September 25th meeting.

Mushroom picker found safe
(cont’d from page 1) returning to the original starting point. Scalia was known to use this method of marking her hikes. Deputies continued looking for both missing persons. Scalia was found shortly before midnight. Once she realized she was lost and not going to make it out before the morning, she took shelter under a tree and waited for rescuers. She was cold and wet, but unharmed. Marion County’s Jeep patrol mobilized 6 Jeeps that continued searching for Meas throughout the night. Marion and Linn County Search & Rescue Teams started searching at dawn. The searchers included members of MCSO Team 18, and the MCSO Special vehicles unit. Approximately 40 searchers took part in the effort to find Meas. At about 10:30am, Sunday, they located Meas walking along Road 510. He told deputies he realized he was lost and decided to follow the river downstream to safety, but it got too dark and the windy, wet weather made it unsafe. He took shelter under a tree. Meas refused medical assistance. These searches are perfect examples of how easy it is for someone to become lost when distracted while picking mushrooms. Hikers and mushroom pickers are encouraged to stay together and to bring extra food, water Fridays Free Knife Sharpening Friday at Gene’s and shelter; even if they are not planning to Meat Market in Mehama (limit 5 please). spend the night in the forest.

Oregon Fire Prevention Week October 6th—12th The Mill City Volunteer Fire Department wants to remind everyone that Oct 6th -12th has been set aside as Fire Prevention Week here in Oregon. This years fire theme is “You Can Prevent Kitchen Fires”. Fire safety should be taught in every home so children and adults alike can work together to make your home a safer place. Cooking fires are one of the top 5 leading causes of residential fires in Oregon. Here are some safety tips to prevent cooking fires: Never leave cooking food unattended. Keep your cooking area clean, including
stove top, oven and exhaust fan. Keep anything that can burn away from the stove burners. Wear short, close-fitting or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Loose clothing can dangle onto stove burners and catch fire. Cooking oil can ignite quickly. Heat oil slowly and watch it closely. If you do have a fire, follow these helpful tips: If a fire starts in a pan, don’t panic. Don’t pickup the pan and move it. Never pour water or discharge a fire
extinguisher onto the pan. This can spray burning grease around the kitchen, actually spreading the fire. Slide a lid onto the pan to smother the flames, turn the burner off and let it cool down completely before taking off the lid. If fire breaks out in the oven or microwave, turn off the appliance and keep the door closed. If the fire continues to grow, leave the house and call 911. If your clothes catch fire; stop, drop and roll to smother the flames.

Too much rain = perfect kayak conditions
Last week dozens of experienced kayakers flocked to the creeks of the North Santiam Canyon to reap the benefits of high waters. These creeks are usually innavigable...unless it’s been pouring for days on end. Here, Emile Elliot of Albany starts lap 4 on the classic steep creek Henline Falls, a tributary to the Little North Fork of the Santiam.
October 19th is coming soon and Hearts To Arts hopes that you will plan to spend a wonderful evening with music by The Flextones who will be joining Santiam’s American Pop Culture class at The Great Pumpkin’s Ball at the Santiam High School Gym. The FlexTones have been rocking the Willamette Valley since ‘96, playing a variety of styles for all kinds of events, and keeping dancers happy at every turn. This three-piece rock band has the versatility to cover musical territory like Cortez covered Central America, albeit with considerably less bloodshed. Seriously, whatever the demographic, The FlexTones have the right set at the right time. Event promoter Jahn Hoover describes their sound like a fusion of, “Squeeze Official, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Collective Soul, Lynrd Skynrdm and ZZ Top.” Sounds to us like it’s a good idea to bring your dancing shoes! 12
