The Canyon Senior Center was full of activities this past week as volunteers hosted the monthly bake sale and at least a dozen local residents came to join the weekly game of Pinochle. The bake sale raised $163 to help pay for the center’s operations and satisfied at least one local’s need for home baked treats like zucchini bread and lemon bars. ―This is great. Nobody makes homemade stuff anymore,‖ said Mill City resident Lee Fleming.
The non-profit senior center has about 100 members from all over the Santiam Canyon who coordinate events like a monthly potluck, blood pressure readings by local firefighters and a veterans center. New events are also coming, like a beading group on April 12 at 1pm. Located at 844 SW 1st St, Mill City (across from Hilltop Market), the center is open Mon-Thurs 10am-2pm & Fri 10am-4pm.

The Santiam Valley Grange hosted a pancake breakfast this past March 19 to raise money for the building and roof fund. The event was organized and run by many Grange volunteers who served quite a few hungry locals, including two Mehama residents on their way to a gold hunting class. Don Bult and John McClure had ―pancakes and eggs, just the way you want them.‖ The event is one of many fundraisers that supports the Grange. SantiamValleyGrange.org.

Leprechaun Wrecks Havoc at Local School
Once again, a mischievous visitor roamed the classrooms during recess at Gates Elementary this past March 17, creating mayhem and delighting children and teachers alike. ―He’s done it again,‖ said principal Brad Yates, shaking his head with a twinkle in his eye. Several of the classes worked on building leprechaun traps all week in anticipation of this annual event. However, despite their best endeavors, the leprechaun was not caught—and left in his wake were upturned chairs, confetti and tell tale tiny green foot prints everywhere, including the ceiling. Left: Abby Fawcett shows some innovative traps in Ms. Brown’s class. Top right: Marcos Moreno and his invention. Right: The aftermath in Mrs. Huegenberger’s class.

Santiam Leadership Class Thanks Businesses
Santiam HS leadership students spent this past week delivering handmade thank you signs and goodie baskets to local businesses—to show their appreciation for the support that these businesses had given them. Each class chose a business: FreshmanPoppa Al’s, SophmoreMill City Dental Center,
Junior-Rosie’s Mountain Coffee House, SeniorKelly Lumber Sales. At delivery, students wore a t-shirt with the number 2—and when the business owner asked why, they shouted, ―Because you’re number 1!‖ This is the second event like this; last December, the students thanked Freres Lumber, Frank’s Lumber, Mill City Market Place, Giovanni’s Mountain Pizza and Mill City Pharmacy in a similar fashion. ―I feel we are the benefactor of a very generous community,‖ said
organizer and teacher Caroline Gillaspy. ―The students really appreciate their support.‖

Madison Mitchell is 6yrs old. She was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 15 months. Madison enjoys running, roller blading and playing with her friends. She wishes to be treated like everyone else. She is very responsible for her age and realizes that she cannot have junk food and candy. During birthday parties and school parties she knows she can’t eat the cupcakes like everyone else and seems to be very mature about it. She can take her own blood sugar and give herself shots. She has to deal with getting poked with needles at least 10 times a day. Everyone that takes care of her has to be trained, which means
she cannot go to other friend’s houses, have sleep overs or go to summer camps. Someday when she gets an insulin pump she will be able to do more of those things. She is a loving, sweet caring little girl who likes to take care of others needs before her own. She is athletic and wants to play sports. She loves babies and animals and is a very happy girl most of the time. Please help us in our fundraising efforts for Madison and her family. They are a local family that is in need of some help from their family, friends and neighbors.

River Report March 23, 2011 Fish catching was good a couple of days last week. Some fresh summer steelhead were taken around the lower river locations. Very few have arrived as far upriver as Mehama, but there are plenty of winter fish there. Fish counts as of March 15 above Willamette Falls are: 1 Chinook, 176 Summer Steelhead, and 4,706 Winter Steelhead. River volume last week was pretty stable around Packsaddle at 1,300 cubic feet per second, give or take a hundred cfs. Tributary runoff caused the
Mill City
Mehama
volume at Mehama to vary from 3,600 cfs up to 5,500, and that is around 5 feet deep at Mehama on average. River forecast for the next ten days is for more of the same. Detroit Lake has been rising slowly, and is now 50 feet below summer level and 60 feet above low winter level. Early Morel mushrooms (verpa) are up in big numbers. The mushrooms start to grow first at the lower elevations and will be available between Mehama and Stayton very soon. When the mushrooms come up, many deer and elk come down to the groves along the river to feed on the mushrooms. Good river trips are enhanced by good planning. Call now to coordinate your schedule for the excellent trips that are available for small groups of all sizes. Raft a scenic run or driftboat your fishing trip.

Idanha-Detroit Fire Moves On After Embezzlement (Continued from page 1)
age from the theft has already been done, said IDRFPD fire chief Ivan Loock, in a letter to the sentencing judge on the case. ―Regaining the priceless trust and confidence of our citizens and travelers weighs on my shoulders to a degree well-beyond measure, and perhaps even belief,‖ said Loock. Since the incident, the department has been relying on supplemental fire services from the neighboring City of Gates to cover the Detroit/Idanha area—and the long stretch of Hwy 22 up to milepost 78. ―We owe Gates fire department a million thanks,‖ said Loock. Moving forward, the district is focusing efforts on it’s new management and recruitment efforts. Since last October, volunteer numbers have doubled. ―It’s definitely a more positive environment,‖ said Idanha-Detroit EMT Pam Hills. ―It’s a team now.‖ Still, more volunteers are needed— Conveniently located across the parking lot from Santiam Memorial Hospital and proudly serving the Santiam Canyon.

Location of residence is not an issue; however, applicants are required to pass a medical physical and background check. Additionally, the department is seeking a grant writer to secure funds for operations and new equipment. These challenges aside, local residents are appreciative. ―The volunteers do a great job. They work all day then come in and they’re exhausted,‖ said Shannon Edwards, a waitress at Cedars Restaurant in Detroit. ―It’s great to have that support around here.‖
