Businesses and community members in Detroit and Estacada are looking forward to the 72 mile route that primarily runs A cycling enthusiast from Estacada signs in along Hwy 224 to officially be named as a bicycle tour route, at the public meeting in Detroit last week. called the Detroit Lake/Estacada Two Rivers Pedal.

Santiam Al-Anon notes 33 years with special meetings Santiam Al-Anon will note its 33rd anniversary at 7:30pm every Tuesday in April at Mtn. View Church in Aumsville. The public is invited. Former members are especially invited to join these meetings. Since April 1981 there has been a meeting every Tuesday night for people who want to overcome the distress and chaos that comes from living with another person’s alcoholism, whether the alcoholic is a family member, friend or co-worker. That person may or may not be in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or in a treatment program, or may be in denial about their illness. Al-Anon is for people affected by another’s alcohol problem. The group’s anniversary will be noted each Tuesday at 7:30pm: April 1: first Tuesday, study of the book “How Al-Anon Works.” April 8: Week 2, open discussion on any relevant topic, with refreshments served. April 15: Week 3, discussion of the 12 Steps of AA, which Al-Anon also follows. April 22: Week 4, the slogans will be discussed. The slogans are short-hand reminders of coping skills, ie Keep It Simple, How Important Is It, First Things First. April 29: Week 5, members will tell how they came to join Al-Anon and the circumstances at the time.
If you are just curious about Al-Anon, want to learn more, or know that you need such a group, you are welcome at any of Santiam Al-Anon’s meetings. Both men and women are members of Santiam AlAnon. High school students also are welcome. Everyone’s anonymity is strictly observed. “Whom you see here, what you hear here, must stay here” is followed by everyone, including guests. Santiam Al-Anon began in Stayton and later moved to St. Boniface Church in Sublimity. About 15 years ago it moved to Aumsville. For more information about all local Al-Anon meetings, call 503-3707363 or go to the Salem Area Al-Anon website salemareaalanon.org.

Recreation road closures: public asked for use feedback
Officials with the Willamette National Forest are asking for feedback from the public to find out which roads they should keep open and maintain, and which roads should close. Due to decreasing income and budget cuts, some of the roads in the 6,500 mile system will be closed so that other, higher-use roads can remain open and maintained, said Matt Peterson, the Assistant Recreation Staff Officer for the Willamette National Forest. District officials are asking the public to tell them which roads they should keep open for recreation access and other uses. They’ve developed an online mapping tool to do just that. “This new, innovative tool makes it easy for you to draw right on a map by circling an area, drawing a line, or a specific spot - and tell us why that area is important to you,” said Peterson. “You can also see what areas are important to others (through their comments and drawings). “Please add your thoughts to the dialogue. We will use this information to help develop our road investment strategy and identify the roads and special places that are important for maintaining access over time.” Locally, the Willamette National Forest encompasses areas like Opal Creek, Mt Jefferson Wilderness and the Hwy 22 recreation corridor. To participate in the survey, visit the agency’s website at www.fs.usda.gov/detail/willamette/landmanagement/resourcemanagement/?cid=stelprd b5436905 or go directly to the survey at http:// go.usa.gov/KqGH.

Wilmer “Bill” Downer October 1, 1938 to March 7, 2014
Bill was born in Marshfield, Wisconsin to Hallie and Minnie Downer. He had four older sisters, Henrietta, Darlene, Larraine and Mary. He also had a younger brother, Al, who was adopted. During the first six years of Bill’s life he learned all there was to know about chickens and milk cows as his family lived on a farm. He could tell some interesting stories about farm living the funniest were regarding one huge Red Rooster. According to him, that darn rooster would chase him and his sister, Henri, around the chicken pen when they went to gather eggs. The two of them would have to find very creative ways to escape the chicken pen to avoid confrontation with the rooster. Throwing eggs at the rooster was not the answer according to his mother. For the remainder of his life, chicken was not one of his favorite meals. In 1944 his family moved to Oregon and soon settled on the Little North Fork River near Mehama. His best childhood buddies were Richard Porter and Robert Franklin. Both now deceased. The three of them managed to keep the little North Fork hopping either with racing cars up and down the narrow road or turning over outhouses. They attended Fox Valley grade school until it merges with Mari-Lynn and then on to Stayton High School. Bill went into the Army with his buddy Richard on September 18th of 1956. He did a tour in Korea and had a great time while there. He
always said he wanted to go back and visit. He was honorably discharged in September of 1959. Bill lived life to the fullest. He was a commercial pilot for many years. He raced cars. He owned a transportation business that specialized in transporting RV’s to dealers. He had a contract with a major studio to haul actors and actresses dressing units to location. Once his company was hired to transport the Pope’s dressing trailer to Dodger stadium where the Pope was speaking. He loved to joke about hauling the most holy of the “holy water” around. He played keyboard and drums. He loved to sing and did so with a group called “Touch of Gold” for many years. Boating was his recreation of choice. He always said that the happiest days of a boat owner’s wife was the day they bought the boat and the day they sold the boat. He experienced that a couple three or four times. He purchased the local paper, The Independent Press, after Lori Foster passed on. On occasion his editorials could stir up various people but all in all he loved being involved in the community. He donated his time and many times money to various organizations. His favorite charity was the Crisis Center. He sat on their board for many years. He was a member of the Eagles, Elks and Moose Lodges. Bill was a member of the

Library Survey: your turn to help staff make program decisions (cont’d from page 1) within the CCRLS district of Marion, Polk and
Yamhill counties. Other options include seeking a local tax levy or organizing library fundraisers. “We want to know what partons would like to see us do,” said Harris. “If people want more, do we need to go for a levy? Or do we need to seek grants for additional programs like a writers workshop or poetry workshop?” The library currently employs two part time staff and operates on limited hours for budget reasons. They have already decreased their hours from 27.5 to 22 hours a week in 2012, said Harris. The survey will be available at the library, online at www.lyons.plinkit.org and at local businesses, as well as city hall. “The library is used so much, sometimes it’s hard to meet everybody’s needs,” said Harris.
