Lady Wolverine Volleyball advances to State Playoffs underdog team hits their stride mid-season and keeps on improving each game
Most of the 2013 Santiam Wolverine Volleyball Team and their coaches taking a quick break between drill for a photo op.
After a bit of a rocky start to the season, the Lady Wolverine volleyball team has found their smooth play through a practice of dedication to themselves and their teammates. “Half way through the season something just clicked for them and they started to play really well,” said Coach Alicia Boyd. “They realized that volleyball is not only a physical game but a mental game as well. It’s about staying positive, doing your best, and encouraging each other.” Teaching to play for the sake of the game paid off for coach Boyd. The girls quickly rose in rank in the 2a-3 Tri-River Conference league, grasping the 16th seat in the state. This is the first time Santiam has sent a volleyball team to the state playoffs in ten years. They are scheduled to play top ranked WestonMcEwen in Pendleton this Saturday evening. “They’re getting better and better each game, and each time I ask if that was their best possible game,” said Boyd. Here’s to the best game of the season yet to come! Good luck Girls!!
Professional Wrestling draws crowds from across the valley Event brings out redneck pride, and gives parents a chance to pass down a childhood tradition By Michelle Gates The professional wrestling event this Saturday night at Mari-Linn school is drawing fans from across the valley, and they’re coming here to see the stars that they usually only get to see on TV. “WWE style wrestling is about as redneck as you can get,” said adrenaline junkie and wrestling fan Ron Dillion from Scio. “I love it....I’ve been watching these guys for years, and I bought my tickets so I can meet them in person.” Dillion said he bought the front row seats because he “wants to get the best view of the blow off.” The blow off is the final match of a feud. He also loves that he can bring
his kids, and give them a chance to meet the stars that he’s watched on TV. Plus, he said, “it gives my kids a reason to scream, and I can teach them who the good guys are.” But this time, the good guys might be hard to pick out. With so many competitors, it’s anybody’s guess who will win over the crowd, and who will take a beating. Two of those veteran performers come from very widely known backgrounds: model/wrestler Shelley Martinez and former Mr. USA Tony Atlas. Both have starred in WWE matches. And both are coming for a title. The professional wrestling event is returning for the third time this year on Saturday,
November 2 from 6pm-8pm at Mari-Linn School Gym in Lyons. It’s all in the name of raising money for this kids. Proceeds will benefit the student ASB account. Sponsors include Santiam Towing and Recovery, Freres Lumber Co., and other local businesses. Tickets are $5 for general admission, $10 front row & $7 second row; purchase with cash or check at Mehama True Value or online with a credit card at www.StaytonEvents.com. Front and second row tickets are limited and selling out, so pre-purchase is recommended for best seats.

How to keep crime out of our communities? Get involved!
Thirty people attended the first two Neighborhood Watch meetings for Mill City in October. Linn County liaison, Jim Lepin was on hand answering questions, giving advice and presenting a six month crime report for the city. Lepin stressed that in order for a town to get cleaned up from crime, citizens must get involved. So far there are four groups looking to form watches in specific neighborhoods in Mill City. One of these is spearheaded by Elaina Turpin of SW 3rd Ave. Here what she has to say about why she is getting involved. “My street has been the first one to institute the Neighborhood Watch so far. On my street myself and Jill Cohen are the watch leaders. We live down the street directly behind the nail salon that burned down. I think the fact that it was an act of arson really catalyzed us into action. Our street is pretty close, we know the each other by name and will stop and chat with each other. But that didn’t stop someone from coming in and setting fire to a business on our street. By starting a neighborhood watch we are committing to each other that we will watch out for each other, that we stand vigilant. I hope that with the community Neighborhood Watch meetings other streets and
blocks will start up their own. Just like any town, there are great people, and not so great people. But I think that the good ones outweigh the bad. We just need to stand up and watch out for each other. I have a note on my desk that reads “A community worth living in is a community worth improving.” It’s the involvement of the community in things like Neighborhood Watch that make our town a great place to live and raise a family.” The next neighborhood watch meetings will be held on Wednesday, November 6 and Tuesday, November 19 at 7pm at Mill City City Hall

stress in our daily lives, particularly around holidays! At this time of year when the food and parties begin, we find ourselves under more stress trying to fit everything in. Due to the increase in stress the brain begins to produce more cortisol so that when we eat the calorie laden foods that are offered during the holidays we can really put on weight quickly. Cortisol has the effect of keeping us in a fight or flight state and increasing belly fat. In response to this time of year and many requests, DownWard Dog Yoga announces more opportunities to melt stress away and

Austin Whitmire caught the a touchdown pass for Riley Nicot (8 for 11 in passing for 115yds) for the Wolverine’s 3rd touchdown, leaving the game at 21-0 at halftime.

Cody Quinton punched the ball in for the Wolverines last score of the night in the fourth quarter. Santiam’s defense held solid the entire game allowing only two first downs and lost less than 70 yards. “I was really proud of the way that our kids came out physical and aggressive. We played hard for four quarters, and all of our players got a decent amount of playing time,” said Coach Brad Emmert. The Wolverines will be playing their last game of the season this Friday night, 7pm at Kennedy High School in Mt. Angel. Good Luck Team!

Shifting load lands trailers full of hay in North Santiam
A Woodburn man received minor injuries Wednesday morning after the truck he was driving towing two trailers loaded with hay crashed off Highway 22 east of Detroit and came to rest partially in the Santiam River. Early Wednesday morning a truck pulling two trailers loaded with hay bales driven by Mark Hess of Woodburn, was traveling westbound on Highway 22 near milepost 59 negotiating a curve when the hay bales on one of the trailers shifted to the left. The load shift contributed to Hess losing control as the truck and two trailers crossed the eastbound lane and off the eastbound shoulder onto large boulders. The truck came to rest partially in the river and the hay bales spilled along the riverbank and highway shoulder. Hess was treated by medics and remained at the scene. He was cited by Oregon State Police for Leaking/Sifting Load. OSP was assisted at the scene by ODOT. Workers were expected at the scene to remove the spilled load and vehicles.

From the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife The Steller’s Jay is unmistakable and easy to see at this time of year, swooping in and above the trees—a flash of cobalt blue and black. It is found throughout most of Oregon except the southeast. Fun fact: this species is a great mimic of other birds, squirrels, cats and dogs and even mechanical sounds such as telephones and water sprinklers. It especially likes to mimic red-tailed hawks. Photo by Keith Kohl. And...Thanks to Ken Cartwright for letting us borrow this lame joke of the week....
Did you hear about the guy who lost his whole left side? He’s alright now!
