This 4th annual event has been growing and evolving each year, showcasing local artists and gifting the Santiam Canyon communities with a really great excuse to get together and celebrate!

This year’s event promises to bring even more inspiration and smiles.

K-9 follows his nose, catches bad guy in Idanha press release--At approximately 11:30pm, Monday night, Marion County Deputies were called to a disturbance at a residence in the 100 block of Main Street, Idanha.

A neighbor had observed a male subject entering the residence and knew he didn’t belong there. He called 911. At about the same time, the owner of the house also called 911 saying that he was confronted by a man who assaulted him and tried to strangle him. The homeowner said the man appeared intoxicated. He tried to steal some prescription medications from the victim and ran from the house following the confrontation. Witnesses reported him running toward Highway 22.

Several deputies, including canine Deputy

Jason Bernards and Rolo, arrived in the area to search for the suspect.

Rolo immediately began to track the suspect’s scent from the victim’s residence. He followed it across the Santiam River, and again picked up the scent on the Linn County side. Rolo and Bernards followed the scene for about a mile until Rolo stopped at the front door of a home in the 300 block of Blossom Avenue.

Deputies ultimately contacted Waylon Clayton Blanchette, 33, who lived at the house. He appeared intoxicated and matched the description of the suspect in the assault and burglary.

Blanchette was arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail on charges of Bur-

glary 1, Assault 4 and strangulation. He is also being held without bail on a Parole Violation detainer. He will be in court this afternoon at 3:00pm

Deputy Jason Bernards, of Marion County Sheriff’s office and his partner, Rolo, tracked the suspect accross the Santiam River.

Representative Richardson voices concerns about plans to expand medicaid rolls

Dear Editor, The promise of Medicaid (the Oregon Health Plan), has always been to provide comprehensive medical care that would result in healthier people, who would make fewer trips to emergency rooms and hospitals. Medicaid has failed to deliver for many of Oregon’s 670,000 current “clients,” yet Governor Kitzhaber wants to add at least 200,000 more Oregonians to the Medicaid rolls.

This expansion and other changes in the Oregon Health Plan will create a $1 billion hole in the 2015 State Budget.

A recent report in the New England Journal of Medicine showed Medicaid clients went to doctors, hospitals and spent more money on health care than similarly situated folks without Medicaid. There were two positive results mentioned in the Report: Medicaid clients were less concerned about medical costs and suffered less depression.

However, the study found Medicaid coverage “generated no significant improvements in measured physical health outcomes.”

Oregon recently launched a new Health Transformation program using Coordi-

nated Care Organizations to help reduce Medicaid costs. That new strategy is too new to evaluate and it may be premature to add thousands of new clients until we know if it’s working.

Before adding 200,000 new Medicaid patients we should ask who will provide the additional medical services? Who will pay the costs? The federal government promises to pay 100% of the expansion costs in its early years, then scale down to paying 90% in 2020 and beyond.

Even if we assume the federal government will be able to keep its promises, Oregon’s revenue stream is insufficient to keep pace with the State’s anticipated additional health care costs.

There are many uncertainties about the new federal Obamacare mandate on business owners, individual health policies and other considerations. Oregon would be wise to have an alternative health care plan ready, in case the “Health Transformation” strategy fails to provide the promised results or the federal government fails to make good on free Medicaid Expansion money.

With the failure of Medicaid to achieve its goal of providing improved health outcomes and with the increased costs inherent with its expansion, we should be prepared to implement real reforms with a free market health plan that empowers individuals and provides incentives for personal change. Now is the time to research innovative and affordable ways for providing Medicaid health coverage that includes incentives for better health outcomes.

Cordially, Dennis Richardson

Gasoline motors banned on Waldo Lake (Springfield, OR) – Governor John Kitzhaber signed a law banning gas motors on Waldo Lake yesterday, May 17, 2013. “We are happy-campers today in the Forest Service!” said Meg Mitchell, Forest Supervisor for the Willamette National Forest “.. and we are happy for the future generations of campers and other users of Waldo Lake.

We appreciate the State of Oregon’s leadership initiating and passing this piece of legislation; now, visitors will enjoy an experience free from gas powered motors.”

The story of Waldo Lake is one of shared governance and cooperation between State and Federal governments acting on behalf of people and organizations that have actively commented and worked for nearly 20 years of public meetings and debate about the management of Waldo Lake.

“We look forward to continuing to work

closely with the State and the many organizations and individuals that care about Waldo Lake to keep this special place special over time. Maintaining Waldo’s quietude, pristine water quality, and unique visitor experience is a legacy I’m proud to be a part of.” said District Ranger Duane Bish-

op, whose responsibilities include Waldo.

“Ultimately, it’s the visitors to Waldo Lake who have, and will always be, most important to its future. Luckily, everyone cares about this place, including the groups that were in favor of motorized uses.

It’s up to all of us to watch what we put in that lake and how we treat our neighbors so that everyone can continue to enjoy it” said Mitchell.

For more information about Waldo Lake, and other special places on your National Forest, visit us on the web at http://www.fs.usda. gov/recarea/willamette/recreation/recarea/?recid=4528.

While snow is melting quickly along the Cascade Crest, be sure to call the Ranger District for current conditions before you head out 541.782.5388 as most high elevation lakes like Waldo are still closed by snow.

Smith to represent Santiam Wolverines at state Track Meet Santiam Junior, Chris Smith will be heading to Eugene this Friday to compete in the 100 meter dash against the states finest high school athletes. Smith placed second at the District meet last Saturday with a time of 11:84. His personal best is 11:71. Says Smith, “It’s always been a goal of mine since I was a freshmen to compete in state by my JR year. This goal took a lot of hard work sweat and dedication. I was undoubtedly blessed at districts as it was a close race. After the race I was in denial and was told I took 2nd but tried not to get my hopes up until I was announced over the speaker because it was a photo finish. The pressure that I feel is almost unreal because of there will be 100’s of kids from many schools at state. I am one person representing the entire high school.

It’s also a blessing to go run on the nations best track (Haywood Field in Eugene) doing what I love and representing the place I live and love too. If I had anyone to thank it’d be the entire community for the support through the passing of my parents how many people whom i’ve known have helped me in some way or another and showing me what a great place we have to live.”

Good Luck Chris!

here are some more Wolverines who placed at the District meet Chris Smith 100 meters-11.86, second, 200 meter-24.53 4th, Joey Walczak placed 3rd in the 800 meter 2:10.75, Caleb Stair placed 9 4:50.94, Jordan Saari placed 6th in javelin with a throw of 124 ft 3 inches, Kristin Mouser placed 3rd 100m hurdles-18.53, Mckensie Reser placed 7th in shot put-28-2.5, Kara Conner 6th in Javelin 94-11 and 6th in high jump with a height of 4 feet.

503-897-3301 www.nsrtrips.com Salem Steelheaders meet Tuesday May 21 at 7:00 p.m. at Keizer Community Center. The program will feature a guide for kokanee fishing. Upcoming river trips and fishing outings will be discussed.

North Santiam River Guides Association will meet on Wednesday, May 22 at 6:00 p.m. at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aumsville.

Upcoming river trips will be discussed.

The “Learn the River” trip will be on Saturday June 1 from Fishermen’s Bend to Mehama. Boats shove off in the river at 10:00, but the shuttle will be done earlier. Most people unload boats at 7:30 and drive their rigs to Mehama and get rides back to Fishermen’s Bend. Volunteer shuttle drivers help a lot.

Detroit Lake is exactly at the summer full level now, so the same amount of water that melts and rains into the Lake will be released. NorthSantiam River flow below Detroit will simply be a natural flow,

and recently that has been around 2,000 cubic feet per second at Packsaddle and around four feet deep at Mehama.

So far, fish counts at Oregon City are 15,331 Chinook salmon and 4,218 summer steelhead. We have some new fish running atJefferson, Green’s Bridge, Shelburn, and Stayton. A few of the new fish are at Mehama and a very few at Fishermen’s Bend and MintoPark and Packsaddle.

Steelheaders and River Guides had a cooperative clean up at Minto Park last Saturday. Bob Lusk did a great job coordinating workers and equipment and new tables were installed. Bob Johnston brought his heavy equipment and saved lots of time. There are several good fishing drifts at the park, but most of the club members were working instead of fishing.

Marine Board office hours increased to accommodate for holiday weekend press reles-The Marine Board office will be staying open until 6 pm on Thursday, May 23 to help out boaters who need their boat title, registration, boater education card, aquatic invasive species permit or other business needs before heading out for the long, Memorial Day Weekend.

State offices will be closed for a mandatory furlough on Friday, May 24.

Memorial Day Weekend is the official kick-off to the boating season and with

this spring’s fabulous weather, the waterways are the perfect escape. Plan your boating adventure using the Marine Board’s interactive boating access map where you can find nearby boat ramps, clear gasoline retailers, pumpout and dump stations, and find out what other amenities are available.

Fishing Derby a success, thanks to Detroit community volunteers Photo credits to Ken Woodward

By Michelle Gates Over 900 people - and over 70,000 fish - participated in this year’s Detroit Fishing Derby, said event officials. While we’re pretty sure the fish may not have been such willing participants, the crowd that came last weekend was full of enthusiasm. Many of the town’s visitors weren’t even there to throw a line in the water; instead, they came “just to see what’s going on”.

Others came as part of their annual fishing traditions. It was, after all, the 31st annual

weekend event for Detroit, put on by the Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association, who gave away 150 raffle prizes, plus another 100 prizes at the winner’s ceremony on Sunday. The biggest of them all was the brand new boat and trailer: won by Elaine Sharinghousen of Milwaukie. Other top prizes - two brand new kids bikes went to Morgan Stanley,3, of Mill City and Vanessa Becera, 3, of Salem.

But those prizes were just the tip of the iceberg. Others, like 9 year old Ashen Weaver, caught a $50 tagged fish. It was the only tagged fish turned in, which means there are nine others still out there in the lake, at a total value of $500, said event officials. Just make sure you turn it in by the end of the year to claim the cash.

Pubic Notices PUBLIC NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN MILL CITY Control of Noxious Vegetation Required Mill City Municipal Code Section 8.04.080 requires property owners to control and eliminate noxious vegetation on property within the city limits from May 15 to September 30 each year. No owner or person in charge of property shall allow noxious vegetation to be on the property or in the right of way of a public thoroughfare abutting on the property. An owner or person in charge of property shall cut down or destroy grass, shrubbery, brush, bushes, weeds or other noxious vegetation as often as needed to prevent them from becoming unsightly, from becoming a fire hazard, or, in the case of weeds or other noxious vegetation, from maturing or from going to seed. The term “noxious vegetation” includes, (a) Weeds or grass more than 10 inches high. (b) Poison oak or poison ivy. (c) Blackberry bushes that extend into a public thoroughfare or across a proper-

ty line.(d) Vegetation that is either a health hazard, fire hazard, or a traffic hazard because it impairs the view of a public thoroughfare or otherwise makes use of the thoroughfare hazardous.

The control of noxious vegetation is the property owner’s responsibility. However, the city is willing to abate the nuisance on a particular parcel of property at the request of the owner or person in charge of the property for a fee sufficient to cover the city’s abatement costs. Even in the absence of such requests, the city may abate all such nuisances 10 or more days after publication of this notice and charge the cost to the property owner or to the person in charge of the property or to the property itself.

The purposes of the city’s ordinance are to encourage property owners to eliminate fire hazards which can be caused when high grass and noxious vegetation is close to combustible structures buildings and to improve the appearance of the city’s residential neighborhoods.

Local Speak We asked our readers what they thought about one of Santiam High’s most successful student programs, the Wolverines Working for You (WWFY), being referred to as “damage control” and out of compliance by the outgoing interim superintendent at the SCSD school board meeting last Thursday night. Many cuts in staff and programs were discussed as well at this well attended community meeting. Here’s what some locals had to say I read part of the proposal and didn’t understand most of it. But If there is going to be anymore cuts to staff I may flip a lid!

My daughter has been spit on, shoved into lockers and today trampled and had to leave school due to a hurt ankle. She has scratches and swelling and it hurts to walk. If there isn’t enough staff to monitor the halls at break time and have missed all the times she was getting bullied and hurt today then that should tell you they need more eyes watching what the “high school kids” are doing to the “middle school kids” Alison Larson, Gates We had a fabulous deck built by the Wolverines Work for You and recommend the

program highly! Many of our friends have used them for yard work, clean up, etc. They are taught skills, but also how to carry on a conversation with the people for whom they are working. Todd Reeser and Dan Benjamin teach them life skills, and they both are fabulous role models for kids who are not going on to college, but will contribute in the work force that we need so desperately.

Jo Ann Hebing, Mill City

From the information I have gotten over the years, a grant or grants support WWFY. The Dept. of Ed considers these kids “dropouts” while the program provides training in an “alternative” learning environment.

For whatever reason the kids cannot learn traditionally and Mr. Reeser offers a “Least Restrictive Environment” for them to get an education and training for their future. As for the non-compliance issues... I am not up to date but I do know that more cuts are not going to help the community, staff or kids.

We need a committee to research this stuff and make recommendations. Does anyone remember the adage,

“ It takes a village to raise a child”? Its time this “village” pulls together rather than preach ideals. If we want it done... LET’S DO IT! Melinda Flatman, Mill City WWFY is a great program! Some kids just can’t sit through classes and some feel like they don’t fit in. Everyone has a different learning style and that should be recognized. This gives them a chance to learn a lot of things that will stay with them forever as well as make them feel accepted and a part of something positive. I’m sure it also keeps a lot of kids from getting into trouble due to being bored. Sounds like the district is doing some true “damage control” by hiring a new superintendent!
