Local city governments get new leadership
Both Mill City and Gates welcomed new volunteer community public servants in celebratory fashion this past week. The incoming and outgoing greeted each warmly and with affection. More details on local government changes next week....
January 13--Incoming Mayor of Mill City, Thorin Thacker, awards outgoing Mayor Tim Kirsch for his 14 years of volunteer service to the community at the first City Council meeting of the new year.
Incoming Mill City Mayor, Thorin Thacker, announces intentions, welcomes new councilors in a letter to the community: I am both honored and humbled to serve this beautiful community, if you know me personally, or have ever had a conversation with me about our town, know firsthand how much I love this place and my passion to restore it to the prominence it once had. I understand change can be difficult, but I am fighting for this town to get the attention I believe it deserves, and plan to bring representation to the people asking for change, while applying tact and sensitivity to preserve our history and tradition as a logging community. I aspire to serve this community with a focus on bridging the communication gap between City Council, city staff, and the citizens. I bring a professional work ethic with experience streamlining productivity with efficiency in management, implementing tools of success and goal achieving through business models focusing on results and efficient time management. I realize there will be difficult decisions to be made, and I commit to working with council and staff
to execute the best course of action with welcomed input from the people. I offer transparency in our actions, and will be proactively communicating the reasons such decisions have been made. The first difficult decision I was faced with as mayor was the appointment of my replacement on council. I was elected mayor two years into a four year term, and as soon as I was inaugurated my seat on council was declared vacant. It was my responsibility as the new mayor to choose the most qualified from among those citizens who submitted letters of intent to serve on council. The two people that submitted letters were Mike Long, who had served this community as a city councilman for 14 years, and candidate Lisa Follis who ran for council in the last election. I met with both applicants, and with Brandon Haraughty, who also ran for council in the last election and had indicated that he was planning to submit a letter of intent. We discussed the best option for our community, and (cont. pg 2)

Scio School District vies to keep ORCA
Last week the Santiam Canyon School District board voted unanimously, to accept a partnership with the Oregon Connections Academy online school. This would move ORCA from its current base in Scio, to Mill City. The Scio School District announced Thursday that they intended to appeal a court decision to allow ORCA to leave their district. “There was never a meeting of the minds between these parties, despite protracted negotiation efforts. SSD’s renewal approval was, by its own plain language, contingent on the parties being able to come to a mutual agreement. They did not,” wrote Linn County Circuit Court Judge DeAnn L. Novotny , in a document last December which allowed ORCA to seek a move out of the Scio District. In a letter to the community of Scio School Board Chairman Mark Miller writes: “The Scio School Board respectfully disagrees with (that decision) thus, the Board voted
last night to appeal the court’s decision to the Oregon Court of Appeals,” ORCA’s contract with Scio SD expires July 1, 2015. Miller went on to cite a portion of the law that states “an expiring charter shall remain in effect until a new charter is negotiated...The Scio School District believes that this means that because the parties already agreed to enter into a 2015-2025 contract and because the parties continued to negotiate beyond the 90 days indicated in the law, the current contract will remain in effect until a new agreement is negotiated… As the Scio School District understands that ORCA intends to demand that the Scio School District pay the legal fees ORCA incurred in suing the Scio School District, the Board also voted to appeal any adverse decisions of the Linn County Circuit Court related to ORCA’s request for attorney fees, which the District anticipates will be nearly $100,000.” Mark Miller said. 1

The North Santiam Eagles #3384 opened its heart and doors on December 6, 2014 to benefit the Bryan Dodge family. A potluck style barbecued pork dinner, auction, and cookie sales along with a night of music by Daryl Stroschine was enjoyed by many. The community and lodge members joined together to make the evening a huge success. Combined with previous fund-raising efforts by the auxiliary, the eagles raised $7,400 to benefit the Dodge
girls. A thank you goes out to the community for its overwhelming support of a worthy cause. Auction donations, bidding wars, dinner sales, cookie purchases, monetary donations, bake sale purchases, and moral support all contributed to a wonderful outcome. To everyone who made it possible to lessen the burden,
“The Eagles did a wonderful job! I would just like to say thank you to everyone in the community that has donated and shown support for me and the girls. It means a lot to me.” responded Amy Dodge Amy Dodge is the mother of four girls: McKenzie age 12, twins McKayla and McKenna age 8, and McKinley who just turned 2. Her husband, Bryan, was tragically killed on the job last September while working a wood press machine at Tune in to local community radio 94.9 fm KYAC to learn a Freres Lumber about local events, community interviews, and much more! Company 2
plant in Lyons. This event left Amy to raise her 4 girls alone. With the financial burden of mortgage payments, school clothes, and day to day expenses looming, friends, family and the community at large has stepped in to help provide. An account at US Bank in the name of Bryan Dodge Family, and a Go Fund Me account online under the name “Bryan Family Fund,” remain active and available to donate to. Amy reports that dealing with social security has been “a nightmare,” but she has been able to receive some payments from worker’s compensation and from a small life insurance policy. Our hearts go out to this young widow and her children as they navigate through this dark period in their lives.

Do you use a lot of these? If so the Mill City Skate Project would love to take the empties off your hands. Soda and beer cans and bottles have been returnable in Oregon since 1971. In 2009 legislation was passed making most plastic water bottles returnable for a 5 cent refund as well. Water bottles, such as this one shown here, continue to make their way to recycle bins and trash cans...bypassing the refund. Volunteers with Mill City Skate Park Project are trying to make it easier to turn your trash into cash. They are handing out green trash-bags to throw all your refundable plastic bottles and aluminum cans into. Once they are full send it off with a volunteer and
Letter from new Mayor of Mill City cont. from front page... agreed that we should take advantage of the opportunity to welcome the experience Councilman Long brings to the table. Both Mrs. Follis and Mr. Haraughty indicated that they were interested in continued involvement with the community and I’m looking forward to working with them in the future. This gives us the best of all possible solutions -- the experience Mike Long brings to City Council as well as the energy and enthusiasm of two citizens who
are also committed to working with us to improve our community. I will be looking for ways to include them both and I believe they would have both been valuable assets to Council. Thank you for your support. I am grateful and excited about the future and what we can all accomplish in the years to come. -Your Mayor Thorin Faust Thacker 3

20% off feline spays in January at Ark Animal Care
Pet owners continually come up with questions about the health and well being of their four footed or feathered friends. When we have a question we look to our Touche the kitty says, “I’ll be there to prevent more kitties local pet expert, Dr. Keri Sanders of Ark Animal Care in Mill City. from living on the streets, like Dear Dr. Keri, I was. My family loves me! Can you tell me why, after 2 years of living together, would my male dog pee on my female dog? By the way, they both are neutered. Thank you in advance, Inc. Perplexed Pup Owner Dr. Keri Sanders
Ark Animal Care
Dear Perplexed,, The answer to the question above has to do with territory. Dogs pee on things they want to mark as theirs (sometimes female dogs do this too). Why it would start after living together that long is a bit odd, but at the heart of the issue is a need to mark territory. There really is no other reason that
dogs vertically mark items to my knowledge. If he were going other inappropriate places as well, I would have him checked for a bladder infection, but chances are this dog is just marking what he feels is his.

ODFW donates 175 tons of salmon to Oregon’s food banks Banner runs of Pacific salmon helped feed thousands of Oregonians in 2014
Press Release – Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife hatcheries donated more than 350,000 pounds of Chinook and coho salmon to food banks in communities across the state. The huge donation of high quality protein was made possible by one of the largest returns of Pacific salmon in years. A record 1.2 million Chinook and 1 million coho returned to the Columbia River in 2014. Similar returns are expected again in 2015. “The unprecedented returns salmon to our region the past two years have benefited fishermen, the economy, and helped feed thousands of people who might otherwise have gone hungry,� said Chris Kern, deputy administrator of ODFW’s fish division. The vast majority of salmon donated to Oregon’s food banks are collected after ODFW hatcheries gather enough eggs to produce the following year’s crop of juvenile salmon. Once the young salmon are reared at the 12
897-6004
hatcheries and then released, a small percentage of them will return to the hatcheries as adults after spending three or four years maturing in the ocean. “We’re proud that our hatcheries have such positive impact on the lives of Oregonians,� said Manny Farinas, ODFW West Region hatchery coordinator. “Thanks to all of our great volunteers that helped collect, process, and deliver the fish to the various food banks.� If forecasts materialize as hoped, 2015 could be another outstanding year for salmon returns. Preliminary data compiled in December by fishery managers from Oregon and Washington suggests Chinook returns will be even larger than 2014 while coho returns could be mixed. “All the indicators are pointing to another good year of salmon returns,� Kern said.
New hours on Thursdays from 1-2 pm on a walk-in basis.
