He does exist!!
Santa’s former sleigh now on display at the Gates Post Office Free photos for kids - with the world’s most famous elf - on December 20
Santa Claus will be stopping by Gates Post Office this Saturday afternoon to check in on one of his retired sleighs that is stored there for good keeping. He also, of course, is planning on visiting with some of his local fans to hear their last minute Christmas wishes before heading back up to the North Pole. The Gates Post Office has been one of Santa’s favorite stopping off places for years. So much so that he left one of his former sleighs in the care of one of his biggest fans, Postmistress Sandra Ruppert. She displays the treasure each December. Last year, Santa was remembered as saying, “I love visiting this old post office. They don’t make them like this any more.” Stepping through the doors of the Gates Post Office is a true step back in time, where an actual bell rings when you enter and antique combination postal boxes are still in use. Locals file in to check their mail and chat a bit, while somewhere in the back corner old time Christmas music plays on a radio. The Gates Post Office was established in 1892. In those days there were multiple small post offices dotting the Santiam Canyon with names of communities familiar but forgotten. The first one in the vicinity was located on the south side of the river and named Henness, for the family that settled there. Other area Post Offices had names such as Rock Creek, Minto, Elkhorn, Berry and Niagara. None of those still exist today, (cont’d on page 2)

Online school may soon call Mill City their home base Oregon Connections Academy is in contract negotiations with the Santiam Canyon School District - which could mean more jobs, more money, more class options - and more students based in the North Santiam Canyon
The Santiam Canyon School District has officially announced they will be moving forward with negotiating a contract with the Oregon Connections Academy (ORCA), an online based school system that was formerly located within the Scio school district. ORCA's contract with Scio expires July 1, 2014. The district went to court challenging the move and sought to extend a contract through 2025, but was denied when negotiations between SSD and ORCA failed. “I am unsure if any court appeals will happen, but at this point, I am beginning to prepare for sponsoring a new
charter school next year. We will continue to move forward and plan for the coming year as though they are coming to Mill City,” said Todd Miller Superintendent of the Santiam Canyon School District. Miller worked as the Executive Director of ORCA for 2 years during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years where he led a large fo- (cont’d on page 2)

The Canyon Weekly moves to a Friday release day
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your readership and support over the past 4 years. It has been an honor to serve our community. In an effort to better serve our readers and advertisers we have made the decision to officially
change our publication day to Friday. This will help ensure we can cover the full week of news (such as the SCSD Holiday Program that just occurred Thursday night.) Wishing you the best of days, every day! With love, the staff at TCW
Online School Cont’d from Page 1 cus on student achievement and supporting students toward graduation. “ORCA has a large percentage of students who come to the school with academic struggles, particularly at the high school level as a last resort. Our focus really took shape by increasing student academic skills at the early grades into middle school, while supporting credit deficient students who were enrolling in the high school.” “The supports we created, in an online environment, were innovative and significantly boosted graduation rates for our students,” said Miller. Helping to bring ORCA as a sponsored partner into the Santiam Canyon School District could equate in a significant healthy economic boost for both the school district and the community. “As a school district, our student mem-
bership would go from 540 students to approximately 4000 students. We will need to hire new staff to accommodate the workload of adding ORCA into our district,” said Miller. “We also hope to work into the contract some slots for our high school students to take online classes as well. This would allow to add class options that we do not currently offer.” Candy Farthing, ORCA's current executive director, said she expects the move to benefit students by enabling the school to provide them with more resources. “As a community, adding a new large organization will add to the local economy. The staff and visitors could bring added commercial traffic into our restaurants, stores and fuel stations... Along with that, will be increased job possibilities in the canyon,” said Todd Miller.
Gates Post Office Cont’d from Page 1 though neighborhoods and parks still bear those names. Postmistress Sandra Ruppert has been a staple at the current Gates Post Office since August of 1997, and strives each year to keep the Spirit of Christmas alive. “I hope Santa gets to visit with a lot
of children Saturday! Everyone is invited to stop in,” said Ruppert. Santa will be arriving at 1pm on Saturday, December 20. Free printed photos with Santa will be offered by one of Gate’s newest businesses, Lane Computer Medic.

Mill City Fire Dept organizes Christmas Tree recycling event to benefit the food bank
Community members in Mill City, who would like the opportunity to dispose of their Christmas trees and help the local food bank program, will have the opportunity on Saturday, January 10 at 9am.

The cost of this service will be a donation of four cans of food or other non-perishable items for the local food bank program. After the Holiday Season, the food bank is often very short on food. This is a small way to begin replenishing the shelves. To be placed on the list for pick-up, call the Mill City Fire Hall at 503-897-2390.
