Time to Curl Up with a Good Book ! Volunteer Librarians Make the Books Go Round Tucked away at 250 SW 2nd Ave in Mill City in a nondes c r i p t building is one of the Santiam Canyon’s hidden gems. Ten all-volunteer librarians make this their home-away from home. Library volunteer Susann Heller was born and raised in the Santiam Canyon, graduating from Santiam High School in 1967. She returned after 30 years of teaching special education in Pendleton to be near family and build a new home. In addition to serving on the Mill City city council and helping with senior meals, Susann is chairman of the library board and works 2-4
hours a week as a librarian. “I feel like the community helped form who I am, now it’s my time to give back.” Most libraries are supported by tax dollars, according to volunteer librarian Sandra Cooper, pictured here (left) at the front desk. “Ours is supported 100% by private donations.” When the library receives duplicate books they donate them to Detroit where efforts are in full swing to open a community center and reading area. The Mill City Library (10a-12p MSat, 12:30-3:30p M-Fri) is home to over 10,000 books, movies, recorded books and high speed internet—all available to borrow for the nominal fee of $1 per year for a library card. Started by Barbara Alexa, donations of new & gently used books are welcome. Info: (503) 897-4143. For info about Detroit library efforts: 503-854-3496.

Local Importer Makes Affordable Medications Easy Bend-raised resident Randy Posvar has been working since 2003 to help seniors and under-insured patients get their medications in a safe, legal and cost-effective manner. Randy Posvar, owner of Prescription Discount Services, serves as a facilitator between patient’s doctors and overseas medication manufacturers. “The mark-up on these life-saving drugs in the United States is astronomical,” said Posvar. “The active ingredient is made here in the U.S., then sent to places like Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand to be made into the final product, where labor is cheaper. You can avoid the mark-up by buying direct from pharmacies in these countries.”
Prescription Discount Services can get most medications within 10-14 days, except controlled substances (illegal to send in the mail) and insulin (requires refrigeration). Patients must have a doctor’s prescription and medical profile before an overseas pharmacy will send the order. “This is the answer to the Medicare part D donut hole,” said Posvar. For liscensed, bonded and FDA approved medications, Call Prescription Discount Services at541-385-3343.

More than one million families around the globe have attended Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University with amazing results. Last year, right here in Mill City, 53 local people came together to learn how to save money, avoid debt and spend smarter. On average, these Santiam Canyon families paid off $3,500 in debt and saved $2,200 in just the first 90 days. “After many years of poor financial choices, Cindy and I had been in the process of rebuilding our credit for a while,” said local pastor Brian Beyers. “Without a plan, we were making little progress and our dream of owning a home someday seemed like it might never happen. Through what we learned at the local FPU class, we were able to pay off all our outstanding debt (with the exception of student loans) and set aside an emergency fund—and now we are purchasing our very first home. Dave Ramsey’s material was huge in helping this to happen. For our next step we’ll concentrate on telling our money where to go, instead of wondering where it went!” Local Financial Peace University classes meet 2 hours a week on Tuesday evenings for 13 weeks. The first lesson is totally free. Total price for a couple or individual is $99, which includes a lifetime Financial Peace University membership. Call Brian Beyers at 503 602-8742 to join. www,daveramsey.com.

Ark Animal Care LLC For six and a half years, local resale clothing purveyor Deb Turner has been filling a need for affordable quality right next door to the Santiam Canyon. Located in Stayton, Deb’s Attic sees many canyon residents who don’t want to drive to Salem for good deals on used clothes—and many other family items, like toys, jewelry and games. Much of her items are purchased through larger wholesalers, but Deb’s Attic also receives donations from community members—allowing her to donate back to others who are in desperate situations. “I think we’re the best recyclers in this area,” said Lynda Bradley, part time shop helper and mother of the proprietor. To get there: Follow 1st St in Stayton, it’s on the right between Washington & Ida. For more information, call 503-767 -3234.

The halls were abuzz with budding and excited young writers this past Feb 22 at Mill City Middle School. The festival, started 25 years ago by local teacher Carol Swanson, celebrates writing and exposes students to the process of becoming a published author in a series of workshops throughout the day. “We learn how to get our words Author David Greenberg addresses the students. from our heads onto paper, and on to being published,” explained instructional assistant Karen Baker. “Every student gets a chance to share their writing.” This year, the event featured Portland author David Greenberg, who writes for the middle school audience and is the author of several books including Slugs, Bugs and Skunks. He presented his latest work A Tugging String, a novel about civil rights (based partially on his father’s work as the Martin Luther King Jr.’s lawyer) to the school wide assembly seekers (L to R) Jose Salinas, accompanied by “Trillions of photos,” ac- Autograph Braeden Cook and Macoy Cook hobcording to the author. nob with the guest author.

Local artist Paul Mosby has been chosen as this year’s featured artist for the upcoming Canyon Arts Festival. The Mill City resident and surrealist style artist created the featured oil painting through his strong emotional appeal and natural spirituality—as well as by the Follow Your Heart theme of the art festival. “I like the way the avant-garde subject matter is deeply rooted in the canyon setting,” said Canyon Arts Festival organizer Renate Medley. “I think it is good for people to see something different.” The original oil painting by Paul Mosby will be given to a festival sponsor and two sizes of posters will be available for sale. Visit canyonartsfestival.com for more information.
Bill Sanderson’s River Report February 23, 2011 503-897-3301 Detroit Lake is much lower than expected because all the recent rain and snow is still frozen on the ground. As the ground thaws, lots of water will flow into Detroit Lake and will start to help get the lake filled by the first week of May. In the meantime, the trout in Detroit are concentrated in a smaller area. It is easier to find them now than when the lake is full. The bite is different when the lake is cold and when the fish are in different areas. North Santiam River volume in February was stable around 1,050 cfs at Packsaddle and around 2,300 cfs at Mehama. The lake is 1,480 feet elevation today. The glaciers on the slopes of Mount Jefferson, Three Fingered Jack and Breitenbush all have plenty of snow to provide a good runoff later in the Spring. Fish numbers have started to come up the Willamette and into the Santiam systems. So far, 3,114 steelhead have come across the Falls at Oregon City. Some have been coming upstream and several have been caught in the Mehama area.

Santiam Wrestlers Compete at State Championships Freshmen Payton Dupuis and Chase Howard and senior Jacob Strickland spent this past Feb 25-26 at the state wrestling championships at the Portland Coliseum. The Wolverine men were up against some fierce competition. Payton Dupuis was one of two freshmen in his weight class (130#), wrestling a junior in his first match and the eventual state champion in his second match. Chase Howard was also one of two freshmen in his weight class (135#), performing well in both matches but did not place. Senior Jacob Strickland (189#) won his match against a Gold Beach student, but lost two matches against competing seniors, leaving him one match away from placing. The competitors and their coach left Mill City at 4:15am on Friday for a 6:15am weigh in at the Portland Coliseum. “Overall, we did pretty good,” said head wrestling coach Kerry Crowston. “I really see kids placing next year.”

As District Ranger for the Detroit Ranger District of the Willamette National Forest, I have come to the end of my first year on the job. It’s clear to me that the district is an exceedingly beautiful and productive forest that residents and visitors can be very proud of. Our forest provides water, wood products, recreation opportunities, wilderness experiences, habitat for fish and wildlife, and overall, a healthier and more enjoyable world. As I visit with residents and visitors to the area, I’m impressed most by the people and the rich history of the canyon and its communities. Your strong connection and dedication to the land is evident. Examples include the story of Native Tribes, the railroad construction up the canyon, the mining history, the construction of Detroit and Big Cliff Dams, the forest products industry, the legacy of Wilderness designations and Opal Creek Scenic Recreation Area. All of this makes the Detroit Ranger District and the surrounding communities an outstanding place to live and work. I look forward to working with you in managing this amazing district.
