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 which are announced on their Facebook page: Mill City Skate Park Project: https://www.facebook.com/ groups/59714118193/ In the future there are going to be many legitimate places to skate in the city. The time to embark on that positive future is now. Creating a skatepark in our community is inevitable. It’s only a matter of time before everyone comes to understand the

opportunity skateparks represent. There is no reason to delay the investigation any longer. The time to start the process is today....right now.

A skatepark is a place where skateboarders and other people who might not cross paths in the street can come together.

Skateparks are social spaces that will attract interest from all parts of our community. In cities across the nation the local skatepark is a landmark that everyone is familiar with.

Our skatepark will include amenities that visitors can enjoy so that it’s understood by everyone--skaters and onlookers--that we appreciate and support what these kids are doing.

Santiam Hearts to Arts welcomes new director Group seeks additional volunteers to serve on their Board, readies KYAC FM Radio for debut this summer

Santiam Hearts to Arts is pleased to announce the addition of Mr. Lonnie Miller to its Board of Directors. Mr. Miller lives in Stayton and works in the healthcare field. He is a member of the Santiam Canyon Community Chorus. He is also a licensed pilot.

Over the past year, the Board of Santiam Hearts to Arts has been working to restructure the organization and its direction while continuing to offer arts-related programs in the Santiam Canyon School District and the greater Santiam Canyon Community. Recently, Colleen Samuel, who championed the Irena Sendler Project several months ago, left the board due to health issues.

Renate Medley, one of the organization’s founders, longtime art advocate and Grants Director gave notice that she will take a one-year leave of absence from Board duties at the end of December. She hopes to see Hearts to Arts encourage new members to come to the board and bring new visions.

Additionally Denise Sanders has stepped down from the board due to time limitations and will continue working with Hearts To Arts as an artist at large. Mike Medley,

Secretary/Treasurer, is also expected to step down from Board membership in December.

The board consists of President Sheila Hoover; Secretary/Treasurer Mike Medley; Community Outreach Director Jo Ann Hebing; Grants Director Renate Medley; Marketing Director Ken Cartwright; and Director At Large Lonnie Miller, who was elected to complete Ms. Samuels’ term, which runs through December 2013.

Board members are volunteers, must live in the Santiam Canyon and be willing to assist with the growth and development of the organization. Board members are asked to commit to participation in two meetings a month as well as to assist as needed on projects and development of new programs in the community. The time requirement is approximately 8-10 hours a month.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Board and its activities is invited to con-

According to kiva.com, the organization made its first loan in Uganda in 2005, and has since made over one million loans in 75 countries.

Kiva brought its micro-lending platform to the U.S. in 2013.

GROW’s crowd-funded microlending program will roll out this fall for entrepreneurs who reside within the GROW EDC service area, including the communities of Aumsville, Scio, Stayton, Sublimity, Lyons, Mehama, Mill City, Gates, Detroit and Idanha.

2014 Summer Garden Club teaches kids to grow food According to Anne O’Rourke, the Education Program Assistant for the OSU Extension Service, the Santiam Canyon School Kayla Downer and Ethyn Wilson District’s 4-H Garden Proshow their lemony garbanzo dip gram winter and spring sesthat they made at the Santiam sions were a great success.

Garden Club, So much so that the Extension Service has offered to continue the program through the summer months as well.

Volunteers are encouraged to apply to ensure the program success. “They do not need any gardening experience - just come with a smile, patience and willing to get dirty,” said O’Rourke. “This is also a great opportunity for adults to learn about gardening and try new food recipes. For instance, this was my first time planting in a straw bale but am learning and experimenting with it and so are the volunteers. High school students ages 16 and older can also volunteer.”

O’Rourke recaps the past winter and spring sessions to give

her future students an idea of what’s to come: “Curious eyes focused on the seed experiment and the germination results. As a recycling project, children brought in old t-shirts and made them into tote bags. They also snacked on Cuban baked bananas topped with low-fat vanilla yogurt.

Future gardeners also learned about soil components and what makes healthy plants. With their new repurposed bags they were able to carry their radish, sunflower, nasturtium and kale plants home. And sunflower sprouts were served at the salad bar at the school, thanks to the garden club’s green thumb.”

In the spring, the Santiam 4-H young gardeners and volunteers planted a straw bale garden with

Life Skills students at the high school planted herbs and flowers along the bale sides. The Garden participants also prepared a Lemony Garbanzo Bean Dip served with blue corn tortilla chips and carrots. This is an easy, delicious and healthy recipe that uses cilantro as an ingredient and each child brought home a cilantro plant. “ Interested in participating in the Summer Gardening Club, or becoming a volunteer?
