Pictured are (left to right) fair organizer Joyce Trout, approve President Sheila Hoover, co-founders Renate and fire bond, Mike Medley, project director Colleen Samuel, and graphics director Denise Sanders.

Public meetings are police held on the first Saturday of the month at Mill City patrols City Hall, from 9:30-10:30am. New board members and volunteers are always welcome!! Info: http:// www.heartstoarts.org/ press release- Santiam Hearts to Arts is proud to announce that it has applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a license to operate a 100 watt (low power) FM community radio station in Highway 22 in Mill City. The station will be locally operated and will serve the communities of Mill City, Gates, Lyons and Mehama with music, news and other programming as determined by local listeners. For the first time in over a decade, the FCC has opened an opportunity for additional community radio stations to be established. Santiam Hearts to Arts believes this is a great opportunity to expand its community service. FCC notifications of approval will be made by late spring 2014. Once the initial application is approved, station call letters will be chosen and equipment will be purchased. This means that if approval is granted, Santiam Hearts to Arts could be broadcasting by summer 2014. Ken Cartwright, who recently relocated to
See story on page 12
Mill City, has offered to champion this project and to manage the station. Many people know Ken through the Stayton community radio station he owned and operated for four years. Cartwright is presently involved with KMUZ, a Salem-based community radio station. Santiam Hearts to Arts believes he is the ideal candidate to lead the project’s planning and implementation.. As the prime subject matter expert in the area, Santiam Hearts to Arts trusts Cartwright’s guidance in the set up and implementation of this project. Cartwright’s experience in station operation brings Santiam Hearts to Arts confidence in his commitment to the outfitting and maintenance of the Santiam Hearts to Arts broadcast studio; guiding the establishment of procedures and exploring programming options. Once on the air, Santiam Hearts to Arts plans to showcase local artists and musicians and to present other informative and fun arts and culture programming. There will also be op-
portunities for citizens to take on roles as instudio DJ’s and radio reporters broadcasting live, local sports and other hometown events. Over the next several months, Santiam Hearts to Arts will be inviting input on what community members want to hear and asking for volunteers to be a part of this exciting venture. About us: Santiam Hearts to Arts is a 501(c) (3) non-profit foundation for the preservation and perpetuation of the arts in Oregon’s Santiam Canyon.

Goodfellas Rescue helps to feed canyon pets Last year, Goodfellas Rescue handed out almost 900 lbs of donated dog and cat food to families in need, helping many pets stay in their homes. We also handed out collars, leashes, flea preventative and toys as we could. We fed around 25 dogs through the winter. This year, we want to double those numbers. Donations of pet food and items will be given out to low income and under-served pet owners as well as handed out at outreaches throughout the winter. Cash donations will be placed on our rescue accounts at either Willamette Valley Animal Hospital or Ark Animal Care in Mill City, to provide owners the opportunity to Spay or Neuter their Pets. We can help many more dogs in our area by providing these programs than we ever could taking in dogs alone.

formed with LRFD remains strong today. He moved to Salem in 2012 and joined Marion County Fire District, however his commitment to finding work and long travel to the same prevented him from staying. Dustin loved people and life. He was a kind person with a crazy sense of humor, which always brought a smile to the faces of those around him. In recent years he discovered Line Dancing. He became popular with his wit, charm and fancy moves on the dance floor. It was on the dance floor that he met Shannon McIntire. Shannon and Dustin were sharing a life together along with a rescued rabbit. He loved animals. He loved that rabbit, however more than anything he loved Shannon. After struggling through a down economy he found a job and worked hard. He brought
a smile to the face of those who shared the day with him at A & I Distributors. Dustin was on his way, a true success story. Someone so loved by his family and the people he met. Dustin was maturing into a fine young man, independent, responsible and very caring. He left too soon to start the next leg of his journey. Dustin leaves behind his parents, Dwight and Carmel Campbell, brother Matthew Campbell and his sweetheart Shannon McIntire. He also leaves behind his extended family in Australia, Chris, Joan-Mary, Kai and Teah Pantano and many friends.

Yep, it’s a fact. We got some good kids around here. Ten leadership students traveled to Seaside for Fall Conference along with 1500 other leadership students from across Oregon. Students heard keynote speakers and participated in workshops that included Assembly Activities, Anti-bulling Campaigns, Texting and Driving, How to Increase your Spirit at Small Schools and much more. The students returned Monday and shared things with the leadership class that affected them personally or what they would like to do at Santiam Junior/Senior High School.

It’s time to enroll in OSU Extension’s Master Gardener training By Denise Ruttan If you call yourself a “gardening geek” or simply want to know more about the natural world, now’s the time to sign up for the Oregon State University Extension Service’s annual Master Gardener training. But don’t be intimidated by the “master” part of a title that describes a dedicated volunteer force, said Gail Langellotto, the statewide coordinator of the Master Gardener program. The class is meant to be accessible to people from across a va-
riety of educational backgrounds who have a passion for learning more about horticulture,” Langellotto said. “The ‘Master’ title is used to designate volunteers for Oregon State University Extension Service, such as Master Food Preservers. More than anything, Master Gardeners have a good understanding of how to use research-based information to help people plan, plant and maintain sustainable gardens.” Master Gardeners are trained by the OSU Extension Service and
offer reliable, relevant and reachable information and educational opportunities. They answer questions at OSU Extension offices, farmers markets and community events. They create and manage demonstration gardens, school gardens and com-
munity gardens. They also coordinate gardens at correctional facilities, health care centers and libraries. In addition, they host garden tours, workshops and classes. A total of 4,160 Master Gardeners donated 194,898 hours of their time across Oregon in 2012, according to Langellotto. The OSU Extension Service offers its Master Gardener training in 30 of Oregon’s 36 counties. For a list of trainings and local coordinators, go to http://bit.ly/OSU_ MGLocations. Registration deadlines vary by county. Master Gardener training typically kicks off in January, though starting dates 6
vary by county. Trainees take a series of classes from local and OSU experts on subjects ranging from botany basics to pest identification. Master Gardeners volunteer their time so that they can teach others in their community about sustainable gardening. Master Gardener training fees vary by county and reflect local costs. OSU Extension requires a basic application. Those who want to work with children as part of their volunteer service must also undergo a background history check. Candidates must explain in a statement their reasons for volunteering and describe their volunteer history. For those who work during the day, Extension offices in Lane County, central Oregon and Hood River offer night and Saturday classes. OSU’s Professional and Noncredit Education unit offers an online version of the training at https://pne.oregonstate.edu/ catalog/master-gardener-online. Sign up to receive more information by e-mail about Master Gardener training at http://extension. oregonstate.edu/mg/signup. OSU Extension also offers the following publications on the topic: “An Introduction to Being a Master Gardener Volunteer” at http://bit. ly/Intro_MG and a brochure at http://bit.ly/MG_Brochure.

Lyons voters approve fire bond, say no to increased police patrols By Michelle Gates The November 5 election proved that the citizens of Lyons were divided over which they were willing to pay for – a new public safety vehicle for the fire department, or four years of increased police patrols. They could have chosen both, but it turns out that they wanted the fire department to get water to their burning properties more than they wanted police patrols. At the time of this printing, the City of Lyons Local Option Levy for Law Enforcement Services failed to pass by a difference of 21 votes. It would have cost about $41 per year on a $100,000 home. But the Lyons Rural Fire Protection District General Obligation Bond passed voter approval with a 7 percent margin (certified results take 2 weeks). The maximum $250,000 bond will cost just over $15 per

year, and will be used to purchase a new 3,000 gallon water tender, a vehicle that carries fire suppression water to places where it’s needed most. “The majority of our district is rural,” said Captain Bob Bivans. “The only hydrants are in town, and on McCully Mountain. The 1970’s water tender that we have now is not safe in fire environment.” The next step for the department is to form a committee to decide on the type of vehicle they will purchase, said Bivans. They also need to decide what components and features they can afford, since this is the lowest cost bond measure the department has Several citizens reported seeing a headless horseman trying to make a deposit at the US Bank in put out to voters in recent years. “This one is really low compared to the Mill City this Hallow’s Eve, Ocotber 31st, others,” said Bivans. “But everybody And what was this spectre planning to sock is very excited.

Hey it’s November! Remember to buy your Sno-Park permit!
As you prepare for your winter recreation activities, be sure to buy and display your Sno-Park permit. Oregon’s Sno-Park program helps provide snow removal at about 100 winter recreation parking areas (Sno-Parks) across the state. Sno-Parks are in most of Oregon’s mountain passes and in most ski, snowmobile, and snow play areas. A list of areas designated as a Sno-Park is available atwww.trickcheck.com under “Travel Center”. If you park in a Sno-Park from Nov. 1 through April 30, you need a valid Sno-Park permit displayed in your vehicle near the lower left corner of the windshield. Parking in a Sno-Park without a permit may result in a fine. ODOT offers three types of permits: 12
• a $25 seasonal permit; • a $9 three-day permit good for three consecutive days; and • a $4 daily permit. Permits are sold at all DMV offices and by permit vendors at winter resorts, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets including the local Ranger Stations. . Permit vendors may charge an additional service fee. A list of permit vendors is available at www. tripcheck.com under “Travel Center”. To become a Sno-Park permit vendor contact DMV, Vehicle Mail at 503-945-7949. The seasonal
permit is also available by mail from DMV. Send a written request with your return address, phone number and a check or money order to DMV, Vehicle Mail No. 1, 1905 Lana Avenue, Salem, Oregon 97314. New this year, the one-day and three-day permits have been redesigned. Both permits can be purchased ahead of time and vali-
dated by the user by entering the correct date the permit is used. Sno-Park permits issued by California and Idaho are honored in Oregon and Oregon permits are honored in those states. Starting this winter, Washington will no longer honor an Oregon Sno-Park permit. As a result, Oregon will not be able to honor a Washington Sno-Park permit.
