How to celebrate A New Year
Thieves pry open drawers, take parcels from locked drawers
Sometime between late evening on December 31 and early afternoon January 1st several large locked parcel boxes where pried open in the Mill City Post office and their contents removed. Inside those boxes where 3 packages, presumably intended for someone other than the culprit(s) who damaged federal property to remove them. The Mill City Post Office has ten large locked boxes that can hold large packages for patrons who cannot make it to the Post Office during normal business hours to retrieve from the postal workers. If anyone noticed anything suspicious during these hours or anyone leaving the premises with large packages they are encouraged to contact the Linn County Sheriff Department at (503) 967-3911.

There is more than one way to celebrate the coming of a New Year. Many readers reported snugging into bed early for a good night’s sleep, while others partied till the wee hours of the morning. Many shared the time with family and friends either gathered around a feast or sharing a ceremonial moment. Neighbors from the Elkhorn area, Mick Evans and Mike Sheets (pictured at top), took to their dual sport bikes for a New Years Day ride in the woods. They landed at Tom Rock, a 3,400 ft elevation peak in the mountains immediately south of Mill City. From here you are looking north over Gates to Mt. Horeb and beyond. You can also see Evans Mountain, part of Henline Mountain and Rocky Top.

Celebrate 2014!
Several of our readers sent in photos of their New Years celbrations. Clockwise from left: Gates area kids: Julia Miller, Avery LeBard, Tanner Peters, Amelia LeBard, Noelle Miller.--A few folks in the upper Santiam Canyon celebrated the eve of 2014 at the Idanha Grill with gourmet hors d’oeuvres and prime rib, thanks to restaurant owners and hosts Ben and Jeff. New faces were welcomed, including the new owners of the River Mountain RV Park, Jim and Laurie Preston (and son Vince), as well as some familiar faces like Rick Ladbury and Jeanette Hartwell of Detroit. It was a “New York” theme event - meaning the revelers celebrated the ball drop at 9pm on the east coast, which gave many of them time to join other late night events around Idanha and Detroit.--Friends and family gathered at Josh Weather’s home in gates for a New York theme party as well.--Revelers at the Mill City Eagles Lodge (pictured below) partied the night away to the rambunctious tunes of the Rockhounds. All Eagles Photos thanks to Bob Yates, the winner of Beautiful North Santiam Canyon 2014 Calender!!

Mud slide brings pizza slingers, diners into action
The week before Christmas a mass of mud and rock, clinging to the cliff near Giovanni’s Mt. Pizza finally let loose, eventually covering both lanes of Hwy 22 on a blind curve. “Traffic was skidding to stops, and veering into our parking lot, it was pretty scary” said Starr Lutz, a Giovanni’s employee. Bob Netter of Gates and Greg Lewelyn of Scio were just finishing their lunch when they saw the melee. “They The slide, now cleared, reached into both lanes forcing traffic to cross into the just jumped right up and went out to direct traffic,” said parking area of Giovannis , just west of Poppa Al’s. Photo by Jim Brotherton. Lutz who noted they were well prepared with orange vest and a manor of authority. “ I can’t say enough good about them, they were life savers, they really knew what they were doing.” Meanwhile Gio’s employees Chase Howard and John Sorrick jumped into action as well, taking a broom and shovel and clearing one lane of traffic to allow travellers to pass. After several phone calls by Lutz to various agencies, ODOT eventually showed up to take over and clear the road completely.
Pie sales lead to fire truck ride for first grader State of Cha-Ching. Dave Valencia Ins Agcy Inc Dave Valencia, Agent 1203 North First Avenue Stayton, OR 97383 Bus: 503-769-1800
Six year old Zach Long of Mill City got a chauffeured fire truck ride from his home to his classroom, all because he sold pies. He sold enough of them to family, friends and neighbors that he won 5th place in a Santiam Elementary contest to help raise funds for field trips and special events. When asked what his favorite part of the ride was Zach said, “when I got to honk the horn.” Zach’s big plans for 2014 are to play baseball and hang out with his friends. No word on any future ambition to become a fireman yet. 12
