Mill City schools add $80,000 to bottom line
The Santiam Canyon School District got a much needed boost to their bottom line last week. In total, the district will add $80,000 to their budget, said Superintendent Todd Miller Part of that was thanks to community supporter Josephine Reid, who donated $40,000 to the district. “After much discussion about our fiscal efforts and our needs, she generously decided to invest in the future of our students,” said Miller. The donation will pay for the Math and English Language Arts curriculum materials and sup-
plies needed for implementation in grades K-8. “Mrs. Reid has always had a giving heart and affection for this community. Her support and kindness is inspiring and will help the students of the Santiam Canyon for years to come.

key component of the learning. We are excited to get this federal grant and put it to use to increase student engagement and achievement.” Additionally, the district “found that there was another unknown amount of $20,000 from last school year,” said Miller. “I am thankful for our wonderful community and support. We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to. To all our parents, volunteers, supporters and donors, thank you for all you do to improve the lives of the students of the Santiam Canyon.”
Superintendent Miller wrote: “As my first year back in the Santiam Canyon winds down, I reflect upon the generous support we have received from our staff, parents, businesses and community. We all recognize how important education is to our students and the greater community. Healthy schools lead to healthy communities.

Joanne Hebing of Mill City is a mother and a grandmother an active proponent of developing a skate park in Mill City. Each week, Mrs. Hebing has been submitting reasons why she believes a skate park would be a good thing for any community. The Mill City Skate Park Committee meets at least each month and are announced on their Facebook page: Mill City Skate Park Project: https://www.facebook.com/ groups/59714118193/. The low cost to participation makes it accessible to everyone. Skateboarding is inexpensive and is economically feasible to any family’s financial situation. While handme-down equipment is commonplace, even a new skateboard can be purchased for
around $60 and last for years if taken care of. That’s all a person needs, plus helmet and knee and elbow pads. There is no additional equipment, no “green fees”, no travel expenses. To get into skateboarding one only needs a place to do it. Thousands of other communities understand the value of skateparks. If they had the opportunity to do it again, when asked what they might have done differently with their skateparks, many Parks directors claim they would have made the skatepark larger. When skateparks are designed to succeed, they succeed wildly. If you contact any Parks Department with a successful skatepark, they will rank it as one of their most popular, well-used facilities.

Young Professionals group starts in Mehama
By Allison McKenzie On Thursday, June 5 from 8 –9:30am at Trexler Farm we are holding the inaugural meeting of Young Professionals in our area. This is a new group for entrepreneurs, key employees and civic leaders (under age 40) who are serious about their careers and businesses and want to meet and build relationships with other young professionals in GROW’s service area (living or working from Aumsville/Scio to Marion Forks). Everyone will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and their business or nonprofit, we’ll do some speed networking, and we’ll talk about some ideas this group has for connecting and growing professionally together. After talking with some of our younger entrepreneurs and businesspeople earlier this spring, GROW decided it was time to create an opportunity for young professionals to get together and meet each other. We see growing energy among this age group, and a sincere desire to connect with each other to improve their businesses, careers and communities – and have some fun doing it. These are our up-and-coming business and community leaders (some are already!), but they haven’t had a forum to speak together with one voice or come together to network with and learn from each other. This new group will provide that opportunity. Our hope is that making connections between folks in this age group will inspire larger projects regionwide, further anchor the investment these young people have made in our communities, and provide an active forum for them to do business their way while bringing a fresh perspective to economic development in our area.

Word’s Out PR opens office in Stayton
Press release - Word’s Out Public Relations (PR) opened an office in Stayton at 617 N. 2nd on May 1st. Nicole Miller, public relations consultant and principal PR strategist, established the company in 2005 and has seen substantial growth as she continues to take on projects from clients around Oregon. The Stayton office will serve as the business headquarters, a location Miller considers central to all of her business needs. Miller graduated from Westview High School in (Portland), Ore. in 1998, and continued to the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communications, where she focused on Public Relations and graduated in 2001. In 2005, she became an independent contractor and began doing national publicity campaigns and copywriting for local businesses. This work eventually grew into the business Word’s Out PR. In addition to being the sole proprietor of Word’s Out PR, Miller also serves on the board of the Oregon Capital Chapter of the PRSA. She is a resource board member of GROW EDC, the local economic development organization that offers free, confidential, one-on-one business coaching to any entrepreneur in the Santiam Canyon who wants to open, expand or improve a
business. Word’s Out is also a member of the both the Stayton/Sublimity and North Santiam Chambers of Commerce, as well as the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). Miller is incredibly passionate about helping others, which shows in her work. “The most rewarding aspect of being involved in public relations is helping to share my clients’ incredible stories that might otherwise not be known,” she says.

Currently, she has contracts with Regis High School, St. Mary Catholic School, Trexler Farm, Class Act Events, for Must See Oregon, Dr. Louisa Silva of Qigong Sensory Training Institute, Western Oregon University, Fresh to You Produce, as well as local political figures and non-profit
organizations. Miller is working on earning her Accreditation in Public Relations (APR) this summer through the PRSA. The APR is a credential to recognize practitioners who have mastered the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to deliver strategic communications. In addition, Miller says the business is growing, “I currently have proposals and contracts out with six different potential clients, ranging from construction firms to surgeons. I will need to hire people who are skilled writers as independent contractors.” Nicole is married to Todd Miller, who is Superintendent and Elementary Principal at Santiam Canyon School District in Mill City. They reside in Gates and have two daughters: Julia, 9 and Noelle, 5.

Santiam High students seek career mentors Business program links past alumni with the next generation
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” That’s the big question that each of us ponder in our younger years. By the time we approach our high school years that same question takes on a more serious tone. And many times, deciding exactly what it is we want to do, can do and aspire to do seems overwhelming. Debbie Fawcett is the business teacher at Santiam Junior/Senior High and a 1982 Santiam Alumni. She, along with her 12 Business Management students have been creating a program called S.A.V.E.S. or Santiam Alumni Virtually Empowering Students. Fawcett’s class is incorporating hands on business experience creating databases and spreadsheets of past Santiam Alumni. Each student chooses an alumni year to research using old high school annuals and online tools. Their quest is to make contact with as many past Santiam graduates as possible. The goal of this program is to create a virtual mentoring experience, which matches current students to a former students, employee or spouse, that works in the same field the student is considering pursuing. Students will be able to see what a day in "career life" looks like.They will ask questions such as, “How did you get to where you are today? What advice would you give me to pursue a similar path? What classes should I take while in high school? What colleges might I consider?” Mentors from all career paths are encouraged to participate. Says Fawcett: “We want all kinds of jobs.

That’s just 3 quarters!
For example, if it's logging, what kind of skills make the best logger? What are the best jobs in logging? If you could do it all over again, would you? Given that it’s next to impossible for students to mentor in all the various fields out there, I thought why not virtually connect these students to alumni? My hope is that it will inspire, encourage and motivate them to want to follow their dreams.” Fawcett hopes that it will be equally rewarding for the mentors. Currently her students are pouring through the annuals, seeking online connections using social
media and sending out invitations to all the past students they can locate….and they are having a blast doing it. For instance, Andrew Grenbemmer and Kylie McGregor chose to research graduates from Detroit in 1992 and 1993, partially to connect with a now well known country music performer, Scotty Alexander. “I just really like seeing how everyone looked back then, all the hair and clothes,” said McKenzie Flatman, who is researching the class of 1980, the year her father Dennis graduated. If you would like to participate as a mentor, please contact Debbie Fawcett at Santiam High at 503-897-2311.
