Two businesses open in Gates in one week Lane Computer Medic opens November 15 at 101 Central Ave
Lane Computer Medic & Electronics LLC has plans to open their doors this Saturday, November 15 at 101 Central Ave. in the space attached to the east side of the Gates Post Office. The store is owned by Will Lane, a self described techno-geek who has been dabbling in computers all his life and is currently finishing up a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science and Technology. He specializes in computer repair, networking, programming, virus removal, upgrades and custom computer design. He also will be offering free basic computer classes and online help. In January, Lane plans to have a line of new computers available for sale off the shelf. Lane currently lives in Salem with his wife Tiffany, a photographer, and they have four children. The Lanes have family ties in the Canyon, and plan to move here in the next couple months. “I asked around, many different people in the different communities, and found that people were having to travel to Stayton or Salem for computer repairs. I saw there was a need with the locals here, and I am looking forward to providing them service,” said Lane. “I have never seen such a supportive community. Everyone here has been so helpful and excited to see the prospects of our business coming to town.” He also said that giving back to the community was high on his priority list in the near future. You can meet Will Lane this Saturday, from 9am-6pm at his shop in Gates. “We are still waiting on the telephone company to come hook us up though,” said Lane, noting that internet services were a pretty important aspect of running a computer store. Find them on Facebook: LaneComputerMedic. “We are hoping to have the electronic sales going by 1/1/15. Come down opening day (November 15, 2014) for a 15% discount on all computer repairs.”
The Canyon Weekly moves to 108 Santiam Blvd
“Our apologies for the several late issues during the past several weeks, we have been moving!” said Karen Widmer of the Canyon Weekly. “we love the new space, there is a bit more room, has great hwy frontage and is inspiring us to grow in ways to better serve the communities of the North Santiam Canyon. The Canyon Weekly started as the brainchild of Karen Widmer and Michelle Gates in 2010. For the first year, Karen’s dining room table doubled as the office desk. In 2011, the growing business moved
to a storefront on 1st Avenue in Mill City, “partly so we could house our state of the art/eco friendly xerox printer - and to meet the criteria to become a Newspaper of Legal Record for the North Santiam Canyon.” said Karen Widmer. Karen’s husband, Tim Widmer, became the print and online master, bringing the weekly local newspaper to a new level of readership, While Michelle Gates has stayed on as frequent contributor and the weekly finish editor. Recently, the building (cont’d on page 10)

Canyon Youth Benefit Golf Tour28 Santiam Canyon Santiam nament is August 1, 2015) visit www.ybvotes not included in golf.com. recent elections Historical Society The Oregon Secretary of State’s office announced that 13,000 ballots in Oregon discusses Apollo 11 were rejected this past election due to signature problems, meaning that either the voter failed to sign their ballot envelope, or the signature did not match the one on their voters registration. The Statesman Journal posted a list online with a search engine of last name, county or zip code. By searching by zip code we found that 10 ballots in Lyons, 13 ballots in Mill City, 2 in Gates, 2 in Detroit and 1 ballot from Idanha were rejected. Of course this brings up the questions….. would those 28 votes made a difference in any of the local election outcomes?

Funding available for youth causes
This summer’s 14th annual Santiam Canyon Youth Benefit Golf tournament was an outstanding success. The proceeds from this wonderful event will go directly to the youth of the greater Santiam Canon area. The eligible programs must provide benefits for youth programs in the Santiam Canyon (Stayton-Sublimity to DetroitIdahana). Representatives of youth organizations and others wishing to support youth programs should send four copies of their request for funding assistance along with a description of how the funds would be used to benefit the Canyon youth to: Youth Benefit Golf Tournament, P O Box 107, Mill City, OR 97360.

To learn more about this wonderful event (the date for the 15th annual
By Bill Sanderson On November 6, the North Santiam Historical Society meeting at the Gates Fire Hall was called to order by Dale Kirsch. He introduced Bruce Brunstead and Jim Scheidel, who presented a program on Apollo 11. They said that many flights were from Anderson Air Base in Guam, which is 574 miles Southwest of Gates, Oregon. Jim Scheidel was there in 1967, 68, and 69. In 1941, Japan took over Guam, but the Allies took it back in 1944. At present, tourism is the main industry. Jim was an electrician and was stationed on the USS Hornet, which was decomissioned during his service. There were several upgrades to the USS Hornet. The original Hornet was taken apart and a completely new ship was made. Jim read from his book that there were actually 8 different ships with the name Hornet. The next meeting of the North Santiam Historical Society will be on December 4, 2014 with a holiday theme. The meetings are usually at 7pm at the Gates Fire Hall, and new information about the meeting will be forthcoming.

Developments mean more curb appeal for Mill City properties
The following updates are courtesy of The Mill City Messenger:
If you’ve been keeping up with the happenings about town you may have seen some activity that can only be described as steps in the right direction to better the “curb appeal” of our community. Over the past few months we have been following a number of things that promise to bring great change to Mill City. By the looks of things Mill City is on an upward swing and the City of Mill City staff and Council can’t wait to see what good things are in store for us! • The City received two grants; one to install signage along Hwy 22 directing travelers into town and one to construct new rest rooms at the old water treatment plant on NE Wall Street. • The City Council has recently authorized a full inspection of the Historic Railroad Bridge (pictured above while closed for inspection) and we were very fortunate to receive the bulk of the funding from a well known local benefactor. • Both sections of the old US Bank build-
ing on NE Wall Street and N 1st Avenue have sold and are in the beginning stages of clearing out and remodel. • The old Chevron station, which had the in ground fuel tanks removed over the summer, has recently sold. • The Deerhorn Apartments have been torn down and the owner of the property is hoping to find businesses to lease a build to suit structure in this area. • The property just west of US Bank has been cleared out and the new mini=storage is under construction. • In an effort to help with leak issues at the Mill City Library, the The Mill City
City Council approved re-roofing the entire Mill City Library.

Santiam High School Alumni Tournament
November 7-9, 2014 marked the three-day Santiam High School Alumni Tournament, where any and all persons who ever attended, taught, or coached in any school in the Santiam Canyon School District were invited to participate in volleyball, hoops or the 3-point contest. Participant Debbie Guerin Brandon had this to say about the annual event: “Yep, I got up at 6am and took my arthritis medicine so I could move and play volleyball on the elder woman’s team. (We are the ones in the bright yellow tee shirts so it is only fitting we be “The Highlighter” team.) And, we have done just that...highlighted the spirit behind this annual event. It is a time to come home to the school we either survived or celebrated during our high school years. Nonetheless, the bond with our hometown and our childhood friendships runs deep and strong. I love being reunited with longtime friends and participate in a fundraising event that benefits the youth of our community. So, I am determined to play my heart out when I step on the court with my most favorite teammates I have known. And, whether we fly or flop does not matter...what matters is the spirit of the event to celebrate our school. If you can’t come home, go to our school alumni page (Santiam High School Alumni) and follow the tournament through pictures.”
Top: Coach Reichle returned and played against the teams she coached when at Santiam High School, including the class of 2000 + 2 defending their championship (left side) and the team from 1993 & 1997-99 who took 3rd place (right side). Below: the “Youngers” - or most recent graduates. Bottom: The “Oldies but Goodies” aka the Highlighters.
People who play together, stay together. The old saying rang true last weekend as old friends and classmates from several generations came home, once again, just for the chance to get their game on the court again. And there was some serious game. Know any of these happy, sweaty players?! Photos on this page by Caroline Gillaspy and Debbie Guerin Brandon.

New office to have regular business hours Continued from front page
on the corner of 1st Avenue and Wall Street sold to Mike and Vickie Erdman of Mill City. The Erdmans are in the midsts of renovating the entire “old bank building” to bring it closer to it’s original grandeur and honor the historic significance. In the meantime... “A beautiful office space became available here in Gates recently, and it is a great fit for our business and our family,” said Karen Widmer, who lives just a few blocks away. The Widmers have been busy moving desks and paper and getting settled into their new office at 108 Santiam Blvd. (Hwy 22). Editor Karen Widmer, who also works as a visiting nurse for Willamette Valley Hospice, plans to have regular office hours on Wednesdays from 9am-2pm. Tim Widmer, who is also a substitute teacher in the Santiam Canyon School District, will be printing the paper and working in the office on Thursdays. Upcoming plans include having an intern starting this upcoming year, joining the Oregon Association Of Newspapers Association, and looking for local cartoonists to submit their work. They encourage visitors to the office to call before coming in, because “It’s so hard to predict when we might be out covering an event or doing an interview,” said Karen Widmer, “We are planning an open house sometime around the holidays,” said Karen Widmer. “Just to give me some inspiration to get completely moved in and settled!”
