Tony Award winning play to come to Santiam Auditorium Organizer of last year’s Sarah Plain and Tall performance returns with The 39 Steps
Theater Outreach, a new non-profit organization dedicated to bringing quality theater to smaller communities in the Salem area, presents its debut show - The 39 Steps at Santiam Auditorium in Mill City next Wednesday, October 12. This comic adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 classic film is brought to the stage by actor and director David Berrier - the same man who wowed us last year with Sarah Plain and Tall. “I am a lover of old movies, especially those glorious film noir suspense thrillers where everything wrong was ultimately made right,” writes Berrier. “Alfred Hitchcock excelled in telling such stories where an everyday Joe, thrust into an unfair, dangerous predicament overcame the odds and evils aligned against him, racing to great lengths to find & reveal the truth.” In Berrier’s variation, a talented cast of just four actors play dozens of characters, creating a fast paced quick change show.
The ingenious prop design remains intentionally minimal, allowing the flow of the dialogue and music to set the scene. Noted as an “uproariously funny and a satisfying homage to vaudeville and Hitchcock,” the play is aimed at fun the whole family can enjoy. Showtime: Wednesday, October 12 at 7pm at Santiam Auditorium, 265 SW Evergreen St. in Mill City. Doors open at 6:30pm. Ticket sales at the door or in advance from Caroline Gillaspy at SHS 503897-2311. Special Pricing only for the Mill City show: $6 for adults and kids are free if accompanied by an adult. Proceeds help to keep productions such as this available locally. Brownie Sundae desserts will be available to purchase at intermission as a fundraiser for the Annual Class. Theater Outreach is dedicated to presenting positive, thoughtful and family friendly shows composed entirely of local talent and crew.
If you have a desire to perform on stage or to build a better production, we encourage you to join us.
Local snowmobile club holds season kick-off dinner
Group recently expanded parking lot at McCoy Creek Snowmobile/ATV recreation site By Michelle Gates
For some Detroit residents, the local snowmobile club goes beyond a mere ride in the woods. “Our club is just more than a club,” said Keith Munn. “It’s the people of the club that make it what it is.” In fact, the Detroit-based North Santiam Snowmobile Club has more members without snowmobiles than members with the winter recreation machines. More often the club is known for its well attended social events, like last month’s progressive dinner - where 53 locals went from house to house for different parts of the meal. They had appetizers with the Franz and O’Donnell families, a “rabbit’s haven”
salad bar at Jim and Melba Davidson’s place, and prime rib served by two local Marion County Sheriff’s deputies: Tom Crofts and Jim Buchholz and hosted by Darleen Mann and Bob Smith. 46 locals made it to dessert at Keith and Anita Munn’s house. Social events aside, there’s only 12 actual snowmobile machines in the club. But that didn’t stop the group from improving their home field at McCoy Motorized Recreation Area over the past year. Numerous volunteers helped move and spread over 1700 yards of gravel, which expanded the McCoy Creek lower parking lot by over 40%. They chopped up fallen trees for firewood which they’ll use to
stock the McCoy Creek Snow Shelter. And they repaired grooming equipment which they’ll use this winter to keep the trails open. They’ve partnered with local agencies, like the US Forest Service, who owns the land. The forest service will be adding their own touches to the lower parking lot with additions like window kiosks, a porta-potty, a loading ramp, garbage cans, a fire pit and picnic table with awning. “This is a dedicated group of businesses and individuals that have made this project a great success. We and our families will enjoy this project for many years to come,” said Keith Munn. Info: www. santiamsnowmobileclub.org. 1

Local youth fundraisers get rewarded with $286 “cash machine” grab
Budget cuts can’t keep these kids down: Gates Elementary students, grade K-4th, were out in force the first two weeks of the school year selling entertainment coupon books to family, friends, and neighbors with the goal of helping the school improve their undercover play area. So far, the kids made around $2,800. As a reward, 23 of the kids got a ten second grab in the Cole Cottrell, a 3rd grader, shows off his cash reward for “Cash Machine”, a whirlwind of selling Entertainment Books for Gates Elementary. air and dollars.

A win-win situation, the coupon books school, but also a sense of ownership of can help you save a lot of money, and the school itself.
More ways to help raise funds for local schools Box Tops, Capri Sun and online shopping all help
There are many more opportunities right now to help our schools help our kids. Both Mari-Linn and Gates Elementary are saving “Box Tops for Education”, the pink coupons found on many items from cold cereals to diapers. Turn them in at either school where they can be redeemed for cash. Gates elementary is also saving juice pouches again, like Capri Sun, and selling them to Terracycle, where they become trendy wallets and bags, and our school get 3 cents for each pouch. Mari-linn is collecting Campbell soup labels, with the same coupon redemption process as the Box Tops. Any school of your choice can benefit from your online shopping. When you’re looking to buy, first type in “HelpSchools.net”, then type in your school’s name. Any purchase you make helps earn the school of your choice
points, which become dollars. “As the superintendent of the Santiam Canyon School District, I fully support the HelpSchools program...schools survive on fundraisers to provide many of our programs...”said Brad Yates on the HelpSchools.net website. “(This) program was very easy to adopt and provided us an opportunity to raise funds from items that families would normally purchase online. The link to order can be easily placed on your website and allows out of town friends and family members to contribute from a distance.” “We started the program this year and have gotten checks each month. We are hoping to really push the idea around the holidays and hope it will do even better. If you want an easy way to increase your annual fundraiser dollars, I would encourage you to give them a call. It does work!”

Happy Birthday, Lucretia Benolken!
Lucrectia Benolken of Gates turned 7 on October 3rd, and had a riotous time dancing in celebration with a few of her friends. Lucrectia also wanted to “give back” in someway, so with a little help from her mom Jill Cohen, she contacted www.outreachuganda.org, an organization that helps village women from Uganda earn a decent living, mostly by making and selling unique beaded jewelry made from recycled scraps of paper. Lucretia and her mom bought bracelets to give as party favors, and enjoyed sharing the gift of giving with their guests. Lucretia, second from left, gets funky with a few of her fancy friends.

www.ncpc.org
October is National Crime Prevention Month and the Linn County Sheriff’s Office will be offering a limited number of free compact florescent light bulbs to senior citizens and low income residents of Linn County. Area law enforcement agencies received $700 in grants from Walmart and Consumer’s Power Charitable Trust to promote their crime prevention program, “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn-Leave It On”. This campaign is designed to remind residents of one of crime prevention’s basic tenets - lighting up the inside and outside of your home reduces crime. In addition to the free light bulbs, Pacific Power customers can also get free energy saving kits from the Energy Trust. Home safety audits are available from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, call 541-2586940 or 541-259-6126. The National Crime Prevention Council lists these tips to protect your property: • Keep your property clean to lessen temptation to potential unwanted visitors. • Set timers on lights when you’re away from home or your business is closed, so they appear to be occupied. • Illuminate or eliminate places an intruder might hide: the spaces between trees or shrubs, stairwells, alleys, hallways, and entry ways.

Local choir students get ready for London Fundraising continues as Stayton, Regis high vocalists prepare to sing, carry the 2012 Olympic flags overseas
In December, members of Stayton High School Choir (including Stayton and Regis High School students) will be traveling to England to perform in the London International Chorale Festival. Last fall, the choir was personally invited by a delegation from London. The students will get a chance to sing at prestigious locations - and will also be carrying our nations’ flags for the 2012 Olympics at London’s New Year’s Day Parade. It’s the first official event of the Olympiad year and raises money for the cities charities. The trip will provide the students with an opportunity of a lifetime. They will learn about the culture of a city believed to be one of the most historic in the world and
will perform in prestigious venues such as Westminster Cathedral and Cadogan Hall. To prepare students for their London performances, Sir Thomas Wilson, a world renowned conductor from Australia, will be visiting in early Fall. Fundraising efforts began in July 2010 and have netted over $12,000.00 to date. In addition, students and their parents have contributed an additional $30,000.00 toward the $95,000 trip. The students are working extremely hard to earn their way to London. Our fundraising efforts will be continuing throughout the fall to help them reach their goal. Donations appreciated: Stayton High School Choir 757 W. Locust St. Stayton, OR 97383.

It’s a Buck Paradise: Santiam Canyon hunting season opens Deer hunting season is now open! Always wear blaze orange when in the woods. Safety for all is the number one goal this time of year, as the woods are teeming with hunters, hikers, horseback riders and mushroom pickers. Each year, preventable tragic accidents take place. A few reminders for hunters from the OR Dept. of Fish & Wildlife: • Be sure of your target, and what is in front of it and beyond it. • Control the muzzle of your firearm at all times. • Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. • Treat every gun as if it were loaded. Wear blaze orange. Deer and elk won’t see the color but other people will. While incidents involving non-hunters are rare, there are steps that hikers, bird-watchers, mushroom pickers and others in the outdoors can take to be safer. • Wear blaze orange or other brightly colored clothing for visibility. Avoid wearing earth-tones. Make noise and make your presence known. Talk, sing, whistle or shout to other hunters that you are in the area. Be aware of hunting seasons and when hunters could be in the woods. The peak of hunting season is October through January but hunting is open all year for some animals in some areas. Hunters could be in state and national forests, Bureau of Land Management land, wilderness areas, statemanaged wildlife areas, some federal refuges and on private lands. The ODFW Recreation Report is updated online every Wednesday and lists which general hunting seasons are open in specific areas. Thanks to the Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife, Kobe Dyer, at the age of 9 was able to harvest his first buck. He registered in the youth mentor program. Kobe shot this deer opening morning with his Grandpa Randy Moberg.
