Old Gates Elementary School For Sale Drive by the old Gates Elementary School and you’ll see big blue “For Sale” signs. The iconic sight for many in the area was placed on the market after a difficult decision making process by the Santiam Canyon School District board recently. “This year I’ve been going down there for various “reasons, and it sadly feels ‘not alive,’” said superintendent Todd Miller, “but after meeting with a realtor and looking at the property with them, and all the potential, I could picture someone coming in and taking ownership. It made seem alive again.” Recently the old school has been bursting with activity. The district had temporarily loaned the use of the facilities to the Oregon State Police Department where they have been cycling officers through active shooter scenarios training. They are not actually discharging firearms, however, and the buildings have not been harmed. According to Miller they were looking for a building with a long hallway with rooms on both sides and this fit the bill. This week marks their last training session in Gates. The Gates School at 40151 Gates School Road consists of multiple buildings on a total of 17.41 acres.
This includes about 3 acre of riverfront land on the North Santiam just across the road. The buildings include the original schoolhouse a 9,728 SF structure constructed in 1927, the “new” schoolhouse -16,875 SF constructed in 1955 with an addition in 1979, a 3,900 SF gymnasium, a 40’ x 73’ covered play area, a 2,451 SF Log Structure, and two large maintenance shops . All these empty buildings and unused land continue to require upkeep and maintenance costs and utilities and insurance coverage. All continuing to be a financial drain on the already tapped out school district budget. The selling price, $850,000, has already attracted several potential buyers. Initial viewers have been interested in the property a camp or retreat “We are very excited to have the opportunity to market this property. very unique in type and location, and frankly it’s hard to predict what type of buyers it might attract,” said Alex Rhoten, the primary broker. “The hard parts are all the memories, that can’t be sold,” said Todd Miller

Veteran’s Day gathering brings out riches of stories to be told A cluster of retired service men and women, their families and community members, gathered at Fairview Cemetery in Gates last Sunday to remember to those who served in the Armed Forces. A wreath w a s placed at the base of the flagpole, t h e flag flew ½ mast. In front were a pair of boots, a rifle/bayonet stuck nose down into the dirt topped by a helmet. The symbolism is familiar to all who served in the Armed Forces. When a soldier falls in battle his or her boots and helmet are place that way to show that they are still standing explained Bruce Brunstad of Gates. Brunstad (seen in photo page 3) served in the Air Force for 26 years, from 1971- to February 14, 1999. “Retiring was a Valentines gift to my wife, ” he explains. “War is insane, that is a fact,” said Brunstead. “In
the service I had never been colder, never been hotter, more tired or more scared. All experiences are beyond all other. But you will have stories to tell for the rest of your life, stories that only happen in the military,” said Brunstad. John Horton of Mill City (pictured here placing wreath) tells a story about when he was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The first night he got there they shot of a “Thor” missile. The whole barracks started rattling and he thought he was in an earthquake. Still in his skivvies he raced outside to line up, to see everyone else, accustomed to the nightly shake up, fully dressed and ready. “Everyone was dressed but me!” he laughed. John served from 1971-73. (continued on page 3) His brother Jesse Horton, also of Mill City, served in the Army

stories to tell for the rest of your life”
(continued from page 1) His brother Jesse Horton, also of Mill City, served in the Army from 1963-67 and again from 1985-90. “There are some true heros from around here,” he said pointing out several others there at the ceremonies. Among them Dave White of Gates who worked on Air Force One and Jim Scheidel who plucked astronauts from the sea. Jim Scheidel served in the Navy from 1967-71. In July of 1969 he was an Aviation Electrician aboard the USS Hornet when he witnessed the retrieval of the Apollo 11 capsule from the first moon landing. “All six of them were placed immediately into quarantine aboard ship, it was a modified airstream with big glass windows. There sat Neil Arm-
strong, MIchael Collins and Edwin Alrdrin amongst the others. It was pretty amazing,” said Scheidel who shared the deck with a trove of dignitaries including then president Richard Nixon. “We picked up the capsule in the middle of the ocean then dropped them off in Hawaii, still in quarantine,” said Scheidel, his face still bright with amazement as if it had happened just yesterday. There were many more stories to tell from the group of veterans gathered. Enough to fill the pages of this paper for a year we are sure. To all the men and women who serve and have served the people of our great nation, we salute you!

What to Expect When Driving on Forest Service Roads in Winter What to Expect When Driving on Forest Service Roads in Winter Winter has arrived in the high country so visitors to the Willamette National Forest should expect a wide range of driving conditions on forest roads from now through spring. Even though it may be sunny and warm
6
in the valley, recent storms have left snow on the ground. Many roads, especially those in higher elevations, have already become impassable due to ice and snow. Remember, Forest Service roads are not maintained for winter travel. This includes popular and scenic double-lane, paved roads such as Forest Highway 19 (North Fork Road/Aufderheide National Scenic Byway), Forest Highway 21 (Middle Fork Road), and Forest Highway 46 (Breitenbush Road). Be aware that even a few inches of snow can obscure icy roads and soft shoulders where vehicles can become stuck. Winter storms can trigger unexpected rock slides, and falling limbs and trees and can change driving conditions on forest roads from passable to impassable in a matter of minutes. “Winter offers visitors a range of opportunities to enjoy the Forest, especially for those who like to snowmobile, snowshoe, ski or find holiday trees,” said Kent Wellner, Recreation Staff Officer for the Willamette National Forest. “The following tips can help you prepare for a safe and enjoyable visit.” · Plan for the unexpected Check the latest road and weather conditions · Let someone know where you’re going · Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle Be prepared to spend long periods of time in the car. Blankets or sleeping bags, warm clothes, a snow shovel, water, food and other necessities are recommended as part of a complete vehicle emergency kit. Good snow tires, a 4-wheel drive vehicle, and chains are advised when driving in winter conditions. As a general rule, always adjust your speed to current conditions. In general, please slow down when winter conditions exist and don’t forget to fuel up at the beginning of the trip. Although GPS systems are valuable tools for navigating forest roads, don’t rely on them to provide the safest routes based on current conditions. A GPS system may lead you to a route impassable due to snow. Keep in mind that cell phones may not work in remote areas. Tell a friend or family member about your travel plans and stick to them. You can visit or call the Detroit Ranger District office at (503) 854-3366 for the latest updates regarding weather, including snow levels and driving conditions. Current conditions are also provided on the alerts and notices section of the Willamette National Forest website. Helpful information about planning a trip to the Forest during the winter months can be found on our Know Before You Go in Winter webpage.or visit www.tripcheck. com.

Food for Fines at Lyons Library
503.897.6031
Cub Scouts help keep Fox Valley Cemetery “alive”
For the past for years scouts from troop 449 have been paying homage to heros buried at Fox Valley Cemetery in Lyons. Working with the city they helped to locate grave sites of veterans to honor them by placing an American flag. Their efforts helped to bring about more attention to the needs of property, which had been overgrown with aborvita and weeds. Pictured here troop leader Terri Crall leads the boys in singing the national anthem after the flag raising ceremony. Scout Parker Hanna places a flag.
The Lyons Library Board is recommending the approval of the Food for Fines annual program, but this year we would like to extend it for 3 weeks, due to being closed on Fridays. This gives patrons a chance to clear up some fines and help the community at the same time. From Nov. 19, 2013 through Dec. 7, 2013, patrons may waive $1.00 per can/box donated, with a maximum of $10.00 per patron, on fines only. They also must visit the Lyons Public Library to do so. The Library hours are Tuesday - Thursday 1:00 - 6:30 and Saturday 10:00 - 3:30. The Library is CLOSED Sunday, Monday & Friday. All foods received will go to Joseph’s Storehouse, which will be distributed to those in need in our community through the monthly food bank.”
Locally based national organization supports Fallen Wildland Firefighters Bill
The National Wildfire Suppression Association (NWSA) which represents over 200 private wildland fire companies across the United States strongly supports the Fallen Wildland Firefighters Fair Compensation Act, a bill that was introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley (DOR) in the Judiciary Committee. This bill if passed would help ensure that families of contract aerial and ground fire resources would be covered under the Public Safety Officers Benefits Act Wildland fire contractors have long provided professionally trained and qualified resources to assist our nation in response to wildland fire and other national disasters. This bill is truly an acknowledgement of the professional contract firefighting resources who have spent decades working side by side
our agency partners helping protect lives, property and our environment during fire season. “It only makes sense that our folks. if killed or injured in the line of duty deserve the same benefits under the Public Safety Officer Benefit program as our agency partners.”, said Deborah Miley, Executive Director for the National Wildfire Suppression Association. Contract resources on wildfires account for more that 40% nationally of all available resources, and in some regions of the United as much as 60%, and they must follow all the same guidelines and requirements as their agency partners.
