Lyons Fire votes to purchase new engine, welcomes new board members

By Michelle Gates

The Lyons Rural Fire Protection District voted to purchase a new fire engine at the January 17 board meeting, said Captain Bob Bivans.

The new engine will come at a cost of $308,000, which they will finance through a flex-lease program. The district is still deciding on how long that lease should be - options range from 5 to 15 years for repayment; the term length will be decided at the next board meeting.

Three new volunteer board members were also welcomed last week: Gary Ninman, who brings his firefighting background to the board, Denny Hoop, who brings his business experience to the group and Shannon Waddle, a former office employee for the district, who will serve on the budget committee.

“It’s exciting times this year,” said Captain Bob Bivans. “We have full board now and we’ll soon replace our older vehicles with the purchase of the new rescue vehicle and the new fire engine.

It’s all coming together.”

A recent $100,000 donation from Freres Lumber Company went to purchase a F550 rescue vehicle, which is now paid off and ready to be used for incidents like water rescues and extrications.

Detroit friends and family spent last Saturday feasting in the great outdoors at the 9th annual Cowboy Thanksgiving.

The tradition was started almost a decade ago by local legend Maverick, who passed away last year. This year, the tradition continued in his honor with BBQ pulled pork and a “very successful” potluck, said at-

tendee Steve Chittenden.

It was held at Ron and Michelle Quintero’s place and “was a great get together for all of us,” said Chittenden. About 70 people came to the Cowboy Thanksgiving - which follows the tradition of celebrating the holiday when the cowboy’s were able to - in January, after the calving season.

Popular Pastor moving to Pennsylvania: Bruce Sexton Known to many in the area simply as “The-Preacher”, Bruce Sexton has become a fixture in the Santiam Canyon community. His larger than life persona with his “let-get-this-done” attitude has got a lot done over the past 16 years serving as pastor for the Mill City Presbyte-

rian Church.

We catch up with Bruce as he’s busy training a new wave of volunteers to take over the task of the day to day workings of the Mill City food bank.

With Sunday being his last day on the local pulpit, Bruce has (cont’d on page 3)

H2A plans Mid-winter Festival Circus performer Chris Corrado joins the interactive fun on Feb. 25 Mark your calendars, as coming up this February 25th, Santiam Hearts to Arts presents their first ever Mid-Winter’s Festival.

The same people who bring us the Canyon Art Festival each spring, are expanding their repertoire this year by bringing a stage full of interactive fun to Mill City this winter.

Chris Corrado an accomplished circus arts performer and teacher recently moved to Oregon after helping to form the highly successful Amazing Portable Circus in Cincinnati, Ohio. There Chris and his troupe of trained clowns, acrobats, jugglers and stilt walkers held workshops at the local schools,

teaching young people confidence building skills through the circus arts.

Lucky for us, Chris now lives in Salem where he is helping his brother develop his engineering firm while continuing to develop his own business, Bring Home the Circus.

On Saturday February 23rd Chris will be present a series of three workshops for kids of all ages: Clown Skits, Juggling and Balloon Animals. Then that evening, participants will have the opportunity live the fantasy of running away with the circus by joining Chris on stage at Santiam Audito-

rium as he integrates his newly trained performers into the show of pure fun.

Check back in next week with the Canyon Weekly as the details of this highly anticipated event emerge.

Sleeping Beauty: Young actors prepare for opening night The cast and crew of Theater Outreach’s local production of Sleeping Beauty have been working overtime these past few weeks perfecting their stage presence in anticipation of opening night next Thursday, January 31. Consisting mainly of young people grades 5-8 from the canyon area, this musical endeavor has been quite the undertaking.

The cast is led by David Berrier, the founder and director of Theater Outreach, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the performing stage arts to rural communities in the mid-Willamette area. Berrier chose Mill City to base his very first outreach program, “Partially for the outstanding facilities at Santiam Auditorium but mostly for the strong community support of the arts in the North Santiam Canyon, especially with the Santiam Hearts to Arts organization and the Santiam School District.”

“This has been a great experience,” said Berrier. “And this cast is doing exceptionally well. We have some amazing stand out musical talent that will knock your socks off!”

Performances are Thursday, January 31 at 7pm, Saturday February 2 at 2pm and 7pm and Sunday February 3 at 2pm at Santiam Auditorium. Admission: $5 adults, $3 students and seniors and preschoolers are free. Desserts will be available for purchase at intermission. All proceeds will help to promote future drama productions in the Santiam Canyon School District.

Zero Season fundraiser rocks the Mari-Linn School gym Fundraising for Mari-Linn’s 6th grade Outdoor School took a turn to the dark side last week - as in a dark gym - full of the hard rock sounds of Zero Season that inspired some head banging, floor sliding and air guitar playing moves from local students and their friends.

The concert raised nearly $450. Zero Season came to Lyons to play because one of the band member’s has a brother who will be attending Outdoor School this year.

“The concert was awesome,” said parent Emily Behrens. “The best part was watching the kids go bananas. They were really rocking out!”

From the Rumor Mill: Does the Santiam School district have a new superintendent?

611 N. 1st Ave Stayton 503.767.3234 10:30am-5pm Mon-Sat

Rumor has it that a superintendent has been already hired permanently for the Santiam Canyon School District. According to Dan Lemke, Chairman of the school board, The fact is, that there has been no decision made in extending the current superintendent’s contract. Traditionally a superintendent evaluation is discussed in executive session as to preserve privacy rights, and a vote would be made regarding hiring in a regular session. “The decision will be made in the near future,” said Dan Lemke.

Local Speak

We asked you: If you were in charge of $100,000 and you had to give it to ONE other person, who would that be - and why would you want them to have it?

Lindsey Zauber: I would choose my Mother. She is an amazing woman who raised four wonderful children on a limited income. She is a strong, wonderful, hard-working, kind person who would go without to help her family. She influenced me to be the best Mom I can be!

She deserves the world!!

Amy Blumenstein Collen I would give it to my friend Kathy because I would love

to see her potential come back to life. If she weren’t being suffocated by debt and could afford to get her health treated she could be living a full life again. She is a “pay it forward” kind of person. If I could give her a “do over” ~ just to see her living life again would the best thing ever!

Holly Hemphill I’d give it to one person who could use it to make a world of difference and could use it to help others because a lot of people need it.
