Snow is on the way! Firemen’s

Statement from the National Weather Service A significant change in the weather pattern is expected the latter part of the Thanksgiving weekend as a very cold weather system moves into the Pacific Northwest. This system will bring snow to the Cascade passes and possibly the coast range with plenty of rain expected for the lowlands. An air mass with origins in the Arctic is expected to follow this system and move into the region Sunday night and Monday lowering snow levels to a few hundred feet or even near the valley floor at this point in time. Friday and Saturday appear to be better travel days than Sunday for those returning home from the Holiday weekend, especially for those travelling across the Cascades.

SCSD Superintendent announces strategic planning forums Dear Santiam Canyon Community Members, I am pleased to announce that, in the next few months, the Santiam Canyon School District will be putting together a strategic plan to help us guide our direction and priorities these upcoming years. We invite the entire community to be part of this process. Please mark your calendar for: DATE TIME MEETING 12-2-2013 6:30 Strategic Planning Community Forum (in conjunction with Santiam Canyon PTO Meeting) 12-11-2013 6:30 December Board Meeting 1-8-2013 6:30 January Board Meeting 1-10-2013 TBD Strategic Planning Community Forum 2-12-2013 6:30 February Board Meeting This process will be comprehensive and cover all areas of our school district. For planning purposes, the strategic plan will be organized into ‘buckets’. At this point I have outlined general buckets, but even they can be shaped and edited throughout this process. To help get our discussion started, we will be planning in the categories of: 1. Student Success 2. Staff Development & Recruitment 3. Program Options & Supports 4. Infrastructure (including facilities and technology) 5. Governance & Communication We welcome and encourage staff, parents, students and community members to attend these sessions and become a part of the process. The final document will become our guide for budgeting, planning, professional development and decision-making. We have a lot of work to do to put this plan together in the next few months, but it will be worth it. Your input is needed and valued! Todd A. Miller Superintendent/Elementary Principal Santiam Canyon School District

From the Editor:

Our apologies for the late edition of The Canyon Weekly this week. As we strive to continue to bring local news and events to our readers during this holiday season, challenges are occurring in day to day life. Our family is going through some significant changes. Karen’s mother health has taken a turn, requiring that she has care around the clock care. For now we will be caring for her in her home near the Oregon Coast to allow her to enjoy the beautiful home she created there. We will continue to cover the news and events of the canyon, however, and are deep in gratitude for all our readers, advertisers and contributors. May this Holiday Season bring love to you and your family.! Karen Widmer, Editor

by Holly Hemphill Good news on the horizon for the water friendly? We hope so! At the latest City Council meeting Sam Drevo of eNRG Kayaking asked the city for permission to pursue his grant for a Life Jacket Loaner Station. The station would function as a kiosk that lent out life jackets to boaters, rafters, kids playing near the water, and fisherman. The station would be funded by the grant where the life jackets would be all from community donations since it would be a non profit organization. The kiosk could potentially house more than just the life jackets but could also contain things such as: a regular river report, some sort of boater education information, and someone to help fit a child for the right life jacket. The members of city council had few concerns regarding the location of the station, the return of life jackets, and the amount of vandalism that our town has – however, the council voted in favor of Sam moving forward with his submission of paperwork for the grant and are in favor of improving the water safety and providing more resources for the community. If the grant is approved, Thorin Thacker of City Council as agreed to be the liaison between the non profit and the council to work out the finer details of the kiosk.

Now’s the time to plant these six spring-flowering bulbs By Denise Ruttan– It’s not too late in western Oregon to plant spring-flowering bulbs that will infuse color once the gray days of winter retreat. Plant spring-flowering bulbs from September to December in western Oregon, said Barb Fick, horticulturist for the Oregon State University Extension Service. The optimum planting period depends on the hardiness of each variety. In general, it is best to plant when the soil temperature reaches below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Gardeners in eastern Oregon and at higher elevations will want to get their spring-flowering bulbs in the ground as soon as possible, Fick said. September to early November is the best time for eastern Oregon planting. Plants have evolved several methods of storing food through periods of drought, and the bulb is one of those methods. A true bulb has a hard underground storage structure formed from the plant stem and leaves, according to Fick. Other kinds of storage organs include corms, rhizomes and tubers, which are all types of stem tissue but not true bulbs. Perennial plants that bear buds in underground botanical structures are all known as geophytes, Fick said. It’s the cool temperatures of winter that jolt geophytes into producing. So if you’re looking for certain sizes of flowers at the nursery, it follows that “the bigger the bulb, the bigger the flower,” said Fick, a horticulture instructor in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences. Don’t pick bulbs covered with gray mold

at the nursery, Fick advised. Plant bulbs as soon as possible after you purchase them so they can establish root systems before the soil freezes or snow covers the ground. If you can’t plant in your yard, use potting soil and a container to plant the bulbs, or store

bulbs in a cool, dry place, such as a garage or basement. Here are Fick’s recommendations for beautiful and easy spring-flowering bulbs. Daffodil — These cheerful white- and yellow- bell-shaped flowers also happen to be deer-resistant. Plus, they require little maintenance. “They’re bulletproof,” Fick said. Tulip — The key to ensuring the continued survival of your tulips? “They will not come back if you water them in the summer,” Fick said. “Plant them in a place in your yard where you won’t water them in the summer.”

Tulips, which bloom in mid- to late spring, make a great cut flower in a bouquet, added Fick. She recommends the cultivar “Tulipa clusiana,” also known as “Peppermint Stick,” for its deep pink and white stripes. Crocus — One of the earliest-blooming bulbs, some varieties flower in late winter. The large-flowered Dutch hybrids bloom a variety of colors in early spring. Cultivars that bloom in late winter include Crocus tomasinianus, also known as “Ruby Giant”; Crocus ancyrensis, also known as “Golden Bunch”; and Crocus angustifolius, better known as “Cloth of Gold.” Hyacinth — With its intense colors and aromas, hyacinths are a spring garden staple. Two of the most recognized species of hyacinth are Hyacinthus orientalis, also known as the common garden hyacinth, and Muscari armeniacum, also known as the grape hyacinth. Allium — These pretty, aromatic ornamental onions come in a variety of colors. Some varieties have enormous sizes of flowers, Fick said. They grow from three to four feet tall and are deer-resistant. Winter aconite — Known by its scientific name as Eranthis hyemalis, this bright yellow cup-shaped flower appears in late winter an early spring.

Brothers Alex Mitchell (age 10 at left) and Brady Mitchell (age 12 at right) of Gates filled their wild turkey tags in southern Oregon, thanks to the tutelage of dad, Brad, seen here in the center. They plan to roast one up for Thanksgiving, and perhaps another one or two for Christmas day.

These volunteers helped keep the bingo games rolling along throughout the night at the MCRFPD Firemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Benefit last Saturday..
