Aliens over Detroit Lake?
Professional photographer Dave White, of Dave White Photography, was travelling up Highway 22 on January 2nd. .He stopped and turned around to get this shot of what he calls“lenticular clouds” hovering around Mt. Jefferson over Detroit Lake. Clouds? or aliens? You be the judge. Prints available at Prints at www.davewhitephotography.com .
Free Basketball admission at Santiam Jr/Sr High this Saturday High school winter sports are well underway, and thanks to a malfunction in the scoreboard at Santiam, everyone gets into the basketball game free this Saturday night. Apparently during last Friday’s game the scoreboard quit working, forcing the game to be cancelled. “Everyone had already paid, and it was too hard to reimburse everyone correctly, so we decided to give everyone a free admission to this game,” said principal David Plotts. The Wolverines will face off the Kennedy Trojans Saturday, Jan 11 at nthe Santiam gymnasium with girls Varsity starting at 5:30 and the boys at 7:30. The Lady Wolverine team is currently ranked #2 in the league (Continued page 5))

Growing green and eating healthy at Santiam Canyon Schools
Now here’s something good to chew on!
– Linn County has added a part-time person to serve the Santiam Canyon with a focus on youth and families. Based out of the schools, the emphasis will be healthy eating, and learning to grow food locally. The greenhouse at the high school will be utilized, and plants provided to families and the community garden if that’s desired. Your ideas are wanted, related to this project. Community feedback is being sought, to help guide the project. Contact Robin Galloway at (541)967-3871 or e-mail her: robin. galloway@oregonstate.edu. OSU Extension offers a wide range of educational resources from their Albany office, and website (www.oregonstate.edu/extension/ linn).
