Local couple beats astronomical odds on the golf course Their “two-time double hole-in-one” feat awaits Gueniss Book of World Records approval

According to the National Hole in One Registry the chances for an average player of golf to make an ace (or hole in one) is 12,000 to one.

The chance that two players from the same foursome acing the same hole is 17 million to. So, the chances that those same two players, who just happened to be married, would each ace another hole during the same game again, but three years later...well, that is immeasurable. “What are the odds of THAT?” exclaimed a representative of the Guinness Book of World Records when the application was filed this week by the Canyon Weekly.

Jan and Mike Long of Mill City golf every day they can, often up to 36 holes, weather permitting. When they aren’t golfing, they are planning the Youth Benefit Golf Tournament, a fund-raising event that has given thousands of dollars to youth organizations and events in the Santiam Canyon.

Jan and Mike Long, at their Home away In September of 2010 while playing on their from home, Elkhorn Golf Course on the favorite course, they each made a hole in Little North Fork of the Santiam.

one on No. 12 hole. That in itself is a once in a lifetime achievement. Then, just last Wednesday on June 5th, Jan and Mike were playing the back 9 holes first. Mike scored an ace on the 90 yard, hole No. 12 again. Then they moved on to the front 9, where Jan ace’d it on the 99 yard, hole #3.

“I knew it went in, but I didn’t believe it until I peeked in the hole,” said Jan. “It was a beautiful shot and Mike called it while it was still in the air, he said, ‘it’s going in,’” said witness and golf partner Janet Broderis. Jerry Carr was also a witness, and amazed as well.

“To make and ace on the same day with the love of your life, that’s phenomenal, twice in your life? Well, that’s unbelievable,” said Mike Long.

When asked if they had any other strokes of good luck in their life, Mike was quick to respond. “We got each other, and that’s pretty lucky.”

The Slyes are back at Poppa Al’s

Plans are to continue with same great burgers and cupcakes too!

You’ll see some familiar freindly faces behind the counter at Poppa Al’s in Mill City this week. Gene and Diana Slye, who ran the business with daughter Traci for 11 years, are back at the grill again after a 22 month hiatus..

“When we left the business the thing we missed the most was the people. It is so nice to have our freinds stop in and say hi, and get re-aquainted with everyone. It feels good to be back,” said Diane, whose plans to retire, and cruise to Alaska, are put on hold for now.

They’ll be open 7 days a week, 11 am - 9 pm, with basically the same menu and some new goodies as well. They hired a baker, so in addition to their scumptious homemade buns, “cookies,bars and cupcakes are coming soon!” said Diana, with her famous smile.

Welcome back Gene and Diana!

Detroit Lake fish tracking program pays anglers $15 for information Corps of Engineers needs fish movement data to decide on new regulating tower in Detroit dam system, requests help from USGS and local anglers to track where the fish actually go

By Michelle Gates The US Geological Survey is asking for your help in tracking the condition of selected fish - and they’re paying you $15 for it, said John Beeman, Research Fishery Biologist for USGS. About 2000 tagged juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead were released into Detroit Lake over the last two years, and researchers want to find out where they go.

The USGS has been conducting the program at the request of the US Army Corps of Engineers, who are working on installing a new tower in the Detroit dam system to include fish passages, flow regulators and water temperature mixing devices.

It’s part of a biological opinion requirement given to the Corps, said Robert Wertheimer, Fish Biologist for the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Right now, the Corps keeps the river system healthy by mixing the different temperature waters coming out of the reservoir with the pool between Detroit and Big Cliff dams. Installing a new tower to do that instead would allow the Detroit Dam to optimize it’s power producing capabilities, said Wertheimer, because “There are times that we lose the ability to generate power with the current system.”

There are no plans to remove Big Cliff Dam, and the Corps is doing their best to make sure Detroit Lake stays at the same levels as it has in previous years, said Wertheimer. And while talks of construction has

led to rumors of the lake being drained, he says that the Corps is “looking at every construction option available so that we can keep the reservoir at normal seasonal operations.”

Wertheimer said they should know by 2015 if they will need to reduce the lake levels - and if so, the Corps will conduct public meetings and input sessions, and will likely have to present an environmental impact study.

The temperature control segment of the project is scheduled to be finished by 2016, while another part of the project – construction of a fish passage facility – should be completed by 2018, said Wertheimer.

But to design the right fish passage system, they need more information about their movements. All of the 2000 juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead in the research study were implanted with satellite computer chips, which tells researchers where they go, but it doesn’t tell them what kind of shape the fish are in when they get there.

Local anglers can earn a small reward for helping with this part. So far, some of the fish have been tracked to Big Cliff Dam, said John Beeman, Research Fishery Biologist for the US Geological Survey. But, he says, not one of them has been returned.

“We really didn’t know if anyone would ever catch a fish.”

A final report of the tagged fish findings will be released later this summer, said Bee-

man. They will monitor fish until spring of 2014, and beyond – as funding allows.

The tagged fish can be identified by one or more stitches along their underside, behind their pelvic fin, and the USGS offers a $15 reward for information.

Mehama produce stand gives cash back to local groups use coupon below when buying local strawberries to help local charities

With a reputation that precedes her, Michelle Gates, formerly of Sunshine Produce in Mill City, is once again bringing local produce to Mehama.

And to celebrate, she’s giving cash back to several good causes in the area, said Gates.

“I’ve been around for awhile, and I know there are so many groups that are doing good things in the canyon, and I feel like this is one way that I can continue to help a few of them,” said Gates. “Customers simply need to bring me a coupon – from my ad in The Canyon Weekly or from a group member – and I’ll give 5-10% back of their total cash order, payable to their chosen group.”

The eligible groups are: Ark Ark Animal Care Assistance Fund, WyldLife/Young Life Youth Group, Mari-Linn School ASB Fund, Idanha/Detroit Fire Department, Santiam Elementary Playground Fund and Good- fellas Bully Breed Rescue.

These groups were chosen after a brief Facebook survey, said Gates, who also said that if there’s at least 3 requests,

Michelle Gates’ produce stand in Mehama currently carries local strawberries, honey, baked goods and metal art.

She’ll bring in other local produce, like raspberries, blueberries and cherries, later this month. The 2013 strawberry season is anticipated to end by June 30, said Gates.

she’ll donate the 5% to any other local non-profit group, as well.

She also notes that with the coupon in The Canyon Weekly, the group will get 5% cash back, but “I would suggest you go find a member of one of (the listed) groups – because they have the 10% cash back coupons, which will help them a lot more.”

Eligible purchases include any item available for sale at her produce stand in Mehama, including local honey, fresh picked local strawberries and other seasonal produce, scones from Sugar and Spice Bakery, as well as metal art by former Mill City artist Troy Whitney.

A coupon must be presented at the time of purchase, and all purchases must be paid for in cash. Coupons are good for the 2013 summer season, said Gates, and copies of the coupons are accepted.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report June 10, 2013

503-897-3301 There are more fish in the lower river (below Stayton Island) than in the upper sections, but the whitewater and scenery around Packsaddle, Minto, Fishermen’s Bend, and North Santiam State Park makes for one of the best scenic trips in the Willamette Valley.

Detroit Lake is still six or seven inches more than full, and there are still a few medium elevation snowfields that are melting into the Lake and the river. It looks like there will be extremely good water levels for fishing next week, and the important variable is the water temperature. Because of the snowmelt, the river will probably still be rather cold.

On a recent trip from Packsaddle, we had a 9 year old boy who enjoyed a few dives and swims. He did not stay in the river for long periods of time, but he did get refreshed quickly on a hot day.

At Packsaddle volume of 1,600 cubic feet per second flow (that is the same as 2,040 cfs and 3.9 feet deep at Mehama) the trip was delightful. In addition to the usual eagles and ouzels, there were quite a few deer grazing on the tall grass in the meadows. A few elusive hawks and heron were sitting on lookout perches. One large eagle with a brilliant white tail and head flew upstream only five or ten feet above river level for a quarter mile or more. A few juvenile fish were endangered. In the middle of a near-wilderness setting below Packsaddle and above Minto Park, there are a couple of vacation rental homes tucked away in the trees. The places can be used as headquarters for fishing trips for several days or a week. Call for specifics.

The Gorge section of 4 major rapids starts

less than a mile below the Gates Bridge. The fourth rapids is Spencer’s Hole, a notorious whitewater spectacle. At this water level, Spencers’s may be run on the right side of the river over the middle of an underwater ledge. If a boat is too far to the right, it will get sucked into a little cove above the narrow chute and will have difficulty. If a boat is too far to the left, it will run into the big rock in the middle of the river at the bottom of the hole. After going through Spencer’s, it is easy going down to the Little Lava Island and Turnage Bar and down a couple of miles to Mill City. Both Hammond Rapids and Mill City Falls are spectacular. Mill City Bar has changed in recent years, and the North side has more obstructions. Some new rocks make it difficult to stay in the deepest channel, and snaggy branches have washed into the river. At this water level, it is possible to row around them, just barely, but in lower water it will be better to use the left (South) channel. The river is easy from here down to the Frank Hole and Fishermen’s Bend. Cherry Creek Rapids, Upper Indian Rapids, Lower Indian Rapids, and DeWitt Rapids are good places for both whitewater and fish. It is an easy two miles from DeWitt down to North Santiam State Park and another three miles down to Mehama.

The trip from Packsaddle to Fishermen’s Bend area takes about three hours of drifting time and another two and a half or three hours down to Mehama.

A few early bird anglers are trying to catch some of the first Chinook of the season.

They will arrive in big numbers here in a week or so, and in the meanwhile we have some very good summer steelhead to try for.

New Alcoholics Anonymous group forms in Gates Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a group of people who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

Our primary purpose is to stay sober and to help other alcoholics become sober as well. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.

AA is a nonprofessional group, there are no doctors, counselors or psychologists. All members are recovering from alcoholism. It is up to the members of each group to decide what they do.

Alcoholics Anonymous does not keep attendance, follow up or try to control its members, engage in education about alcohol, or offer religious services. AA does not provide housing, food, cloth-

ing, jobs, or money, or provide letters of reference to parole boards, lawyers, court officials, social agencies, employers, etc. For more information about AA go online to: http://www.aa.org.au/new-toaa/what-is-aa.php When: Every Wednesday starting June 12, 2013 Time: 7:00pm Where: Gates Community Church of Christ 40070 Gates School Rd.

Santiam Wyldlife make great strides in reaching their goal of summer camp

Have your Canyon Weekly delivered to your home or your email! visit www.thecanyonweekly.com or call 503 990-3037

Thirty-six “Wyldlife” kids of Santiam and their supporters ran the track last week for a total of 239 miles...the distance from home to summer camp in Antelope, in an effort to earn funds to get there in person. This group is also continuing to sell beautiful flowering bedding plants at the SCSD District Office greenhouse in Mill City on Fridays to help raise funds. Sixpacks are $2 and 4” pots just 75 cents each! Call Alexa at 503 897-2321, or stop by.

Photo below by Sinnamee Baney.

Hundreds of colorful blooming zinnias and marigolds await adoption at the SCSD greenhouse behind the District Office.

You might have noticed a bit of work being done on 1st St in Mill City. Expect short delays through the end of the week as the ODOT crews continue to resurface the Mill City Bridge. A specialty crew will be coming back in the last week of June to install a deck overlay at the same site.
