Body of missing boy recovered from river

Press Release - Linn County Undersheriff Bruce Riley reports deputies have recovered the body of a missing boy who was presumed drowned in the North Santiam River. On June 22, 2012 at 10am, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from a fisherman on the North Santiam River.

He told deputies that while fishing from his drift boat near Spencer Hole, which is near the city of Gates, he saw a body floating along the riverbank.

The body was confirmed to be that of the missing 5 year old boy, Anthony Barkley Berlin. Berlin accidentally fell into the river near Niagara Park while fishing with his father on May 18. Berlin’s body was found 3 miles downstream from where he fell in.

A family friend, Eric Eugene Johnson, age 22, jumped into the river in attempt to save Berlin but was swept away by the strong current and also drowned. Johnson’s body was recovered on May 18, 2012.

The Gates Fire Department and Marion County Sheriff’s Office assisted in the recovery efforts. Weddle funeral home is handling the arrangements.

As the warm weather approaches, the Sheriff’s Office would like to remind people to use extreme caution when recreating in and around water, especially rivers and streams.

The snowmelt makes water significantly colder and water levels are high, swift and very dangerous.

Gates family loses horse barn to hay fire

Gates Fire Department responded to a barn fire on Linnwood Drive last Wednesday evening at the Borgia residence.

The barn (home to Lee Borgia’s horse, Troy, and their cat, Mrs. Lucky) was engulfed in flames. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to dampen the flame, but the barn was a total loss.

The pets, Troy and Mrs. Lucky, escaped unharmed. The hay stored there, however, burned quickly, along with Chuck Borgia’s collection of antique tools and Model-A and Model-T parts.

“It breaks my heart,” said Borgia. “But my neighbors really pulled through. Dan Benjamin came by with a couple bales of hay, Harvey Larsen is loaning us a place to store hay and Adamo and her husband

John said they’ll save us some of theirs when they harvest. Troy seems OK - but Mrs. Lucky, she’s pretty shook up.”

Borgia credits the fire department for saving the whole neighborhood. “If that fire would have gotten into those tall trees, the way it was rolling under the metal roof, it would have taken off all over.”

“These guys are true professionals and their response was fantastic. They were here within 8 minutes, and had the fire knocked down with 3 minutes, then helped clean up all the hay mess. You don’t get that sort of response time in Salem.”

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, however Chuck Borgia states he is sure there was a combustion within the hay bales.

Hosting exchange students: AFS helped several local families discover the process

Several weeks ago, The Canyon Weekly reported on how hosting an exchange student can grow the school population in the Santiam Canyon School District and help increase certain types of funding to the local schools.

The following is an account of how some of our local families have worked with one exchange student organization for a positive experience.

To the Editor, Last week’s paper had an article on three exchange programs to host students at Santiam. I would like to share another one, which is the program providing both of this year’s Santiam exchange students.

AFS was started by American Field Service personnel following World War I to build relationships between nations.

Santiam hosts students through the AFS Scio Chapter. Myself (Bruce) and Janet Sexton have hosted four students through this program and find it very rewarding.

This past school year, they hosted Marcial Grams from Hamburg, Germany.

Mikako Fujiki, from Japan, was hosted

by Pam Mentzer. We have also hosted students from Japan, Thailand and Germany.

We have gone through AFS for a number of reasons. First, the screening process allows the host family to “choose”

their student. Each time we have decided to host a student, we are interviewed by a volunteer through AFS. After passing the initial screening, we are given brief profiles of as many students as we want to review. If we find a student that has similar interests to ours, we then get their full profile including family pictures. Only their last name and home town is not disclosed to protect the student.

When we settled on Marcial, a second full interview with the volunteer was scheduled. This included a home visit to see the living arrangements and talk about the experience of hosting a student. Once we finished this, we received Marcial’s email address and home address to begin building the relationship before he came to America.

AFS also has a good support network.

At least once a month, a volunteer contacts the host family and the student to make sure everything is going smoothly.

If there are complications, they offer their services to listen or provide intervention. Three times in the year (at the beginning, in January and about a month before leaving) the students have retreats to deal with adjustments, family issues, and connecting with other exchange students.

Marion Forks, and is a gateway for many hikes & backpacking adventures.

The easy hike winds uphill through the trees and passes the smaller Ann Lake. A short distance past Ann Lake, the trail forks around a large rock knob.

Basically, you can hike a big circle and wind up back at the fork no matter which direction you choose. Either direction gets you to Marion Lake.

Option 1: Trail #3495 to the right, winds along Marion Creek for approx 0.6 miles, then crosses a foot bridge and continues to Blue Lake. Turn left before crossing this foot bridge and you will arrive at the SW corner of Marion Lake. Continue left to hike the loop.

Option 2: Trail #3346 to the left travels approx 0.3 miles and dumps out on the northwest side of the lake. Turn right once you reach the lake to hike the loop.

This route provides a distant view of Three Fingered Jack immediately upon arrival to the lake. However, the most impressive views of the mountain are from the peninsula a bit farther up the trail.

If your hobbies also include fishing be sure to bring a pole. The lake is stocked with some very impressive trout. I encourage you to purchase a Mount Jef-

ferson Wilderness map for guidance. As mentioned earlier there are several other trails in the area so be safe and plan well.

Getting There: From Mill City travel east on Hwy 22 approx 36 miles to Marion Forks. Turn left onto Marion Creek Rd #2255 for 4.5 miles to the trailhead.

This is a heavy use area so chances are you’ll encounter a lot of other hikers on the trail. Bring your NW Forest pass for your vehicle and fill out a free self issue entry permit located at the trailhead.

USFS: Fireworks prohibited on forest lands

The USFS, Detroit Ranger District would like to remind Fourth of July enthusiasts that possessing fireworks or pyrotechnic devices is prohibited on all National Forest lands in Oregon and Washington because they pose a serious fire-start threat. The penalty for possessing fireworks (including sparklers) can be as high as $5,000, or imprisonment for up to 6 months, or both.

Currently, there are no campfire restrictions in the Willamette National Forest, but campers are encouraged to think carefully about their need for a fire and to use a propane stove or other cooking devices whenever possible.

As you drive through the forest, watch out for road damage from winter storms (slides, road slumping and downed trees). Engineers will be working throughout the summer to carry out needed repairs. For information about affected roads, visit our Current Conditions webpage at http://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/willamette/ alerts-notices.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report June 27, 2012 503-897-3301 Rain is scheduled to go away for the summer on June 27, this Wednesday. A few cloudy days are predicted, but we should have dry weather so we can enjoy outdoor activities. The weatherman says we can count on it.

River levels are scheduled to drop more later this week, but they have dropped enough so that we can enjoy river trips in different sections this week. Next week should be excellent for both scenic trips and fishing.

River temperature has varied from 48 to 54 degrees at Packsaddle the last few days. Temperature at Green’s Bridge has varied from 52 to 58.

Willamette River temperature has been in the mid 60s. This temperature range makes it ideal for steelhead and salmon to quickly come up the Willamette, mainstem Santiam, and North Santiam up to Green’s Bridge or higher, depending on the time of day. Many fish are quickly going up to Minto Park and Packsaddle, but some are meandering around Mill City and Mehama. Fish will enjoy the cool water in the morning and move upstream in the afternoon as the sun warms the water. In the cool of the evening, some of the

upstream fish come back downstream to warm up and return again info@itwtrailrides.com (503) 586-8072 as the river warms up. That process is happening now. Anglers will be more successful if they fish downstream in the morning and upstream in the afternoon.

The run from Packsaddle to Mill City has huge waves this week, and they will lessen as the river drops later this week and next week, so they will only be large and tricky. The whirlpools will be smaller also.

Mill City to Stayton is a great run this week for both scenery and angling. The portage at the diversion dam is tricky the first time. Stayton to Shelburn is a good run with many tranquil areas and a few shallow places. Fish hang around the shallow islands, especially in the mornings. The drifts below the diversion dam have accumulations of both steelhead and salmon.

The Willamette River system has a total of 28,793 salmon and 19,132 summer steelhead this season as of June 20. Historically, the North Santiam River during the peak of Santiam gets more than any other tributary, the season, which lasts all summer This is a great time to plan to enjoy the North or longer.

Mill City Fire Dept: 4th of July safety Be safe on the 4th of July Annual Fireworks Show at Kimmel Park! The following tips are offered by members of the Mill City Volunteer Fire Department, 6

who are organizing the fireworks display.

• Spectators should never light fireworks off in the park. Always obey all ushers or monitors and respect the barriers the fireworks cannot be lit until everyone is set in place in the park.

• It is possible that a firework component might fall to the ground without exploding. Do not touch it, call the fire department or police.

• Make sure that your pets are taken care of. Leave your pets at home and turn on the TV or radio to help drown out some of the loud noises.

• Remember to drive slowly and watch out for people walking before and after the fireworks.

The Mill City Volunteer Firemen would like to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.

Local hero: Fourth of July Parade Grand Marshal, Peggy Nickich

Gleaners volunteer has been feeding our communities since 1985 Stronger Than Ever, the theme for this year’s Fourth of July festivities in Mill City, aptly reflects on the parade’s Grand Marshal.

At 79 years old, Peggy Nickich is stronger than ever indeed, as if the years have added to her energy and dedication, rather than diminished.

For 27 years, Peggy has been a tireless volunteer for the Canyon Gleaners - at one point even moving the entire operation onto her back porch when they had nowhere else to go.

“I had seen all the food going to waste, and all the need. People fighting to feed their families. I realized there was something I could do about it,” said Peggy, who has been the director of the local Gleaners for the past 11 years.

And do something about it she did. After several moves, the Gleaners now find themselves comfortably housed in the old Stewart’s Grocery building in Mill City where they run a successful second hand/thrift store, in addition to helping 150 families each month to put food on the table.

Peggy stresses that this isn’t a charity.

More about the Canyon Gleaners..............................

Families and individuals who meet the criteria of being within 200% of the poverty level are eligible to participate in the Canyon Gleaners food program.

There is a nominal sign up fee, and each adult is expected to volunteer 10 hours a month whether stocking shelves, or sorting through donations. Each Thursday is food distribution day, where participants can come in and fill their box The food comes from several sources: breads and baked good are donated from Safeway and Oro-Wheat, much is purchased by the Gleaners at a discount from various places, including the LinnBenton Food Share, and milk, meats, canned/dry foods, and fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables are all available.

“We’re a self-help program. There is absolutely no reason for anyone in this canyon to go hungry. There is help available - if they want to put a little effort out.”

Peggy says the Gleaners is her hobby.... but in her spare time she crochets kitchen scrubbies and donates them for sale at the thrift shop.

As a non-profit 501c-3, the income for the Canyon Gleaners comes from selling donated household items at their thrift store, generous grants from several organizations, and from membership dues.

In addition to purchasing and transporting the foods, the gleaners have rent, utilities and maintenance costs to cover.

The Canyon Gleaners is located at 158 Broadway in Mill City and is staffed 100% by volunteers. Donations of food, clean usable household items, and cash are gladly accepted and are tax-deductible. Donations from home-grown gardens are also accepted. For more information, or to say “Hi to the Grand Marshal, stop on by the Gleaners or call 503-897-4031.

Staff at Mill City Middle School say good bye to their school for the last time.

Over the summer, the MCMS campus and staff will welcome the staff from Gates Elementary, and in September the campus will become the home of Santiam Elementary School! The school will house a K-6 student population, with 7-8th grade students travelling across the street to attend Santiam High School.

Lots of exciting changes to look forward to in the fall!

Many hands make light work

A swarm of volunteers came to Gates Elementary Saturday. They packed the boxes of library books into vans and trucks and moved the entire library to the newly dubbed Santiam Elementary School Library (Mill City Middle School) in less than 3 hours, all while the rain kept falling!

“A big ‘THANK YOU’ to all our volunteers this past week,” said Chris Sherren, Library Aide. “And a very special Thank You to Alicia Corey for all her hard work organizing the move!”

On Monday, a smaller group of volunteers helped sort the books onto their new shelves in preparation for eager readers who came on Tuesday, the first day of the Summer Reading Program. There, children gleefully lined up to check out books, and even take home a free one of their own through the First Books program. The Summer Reading Program and the book give-away will continue through the summer every Tuesday and Thursday 10:30-2:30.

Pictured: (Right) Staff members and volunteers sort through the boxes to be unload on the new shelves at Santiam Elementary School on Monday. (Top) On Tuesday Noreen Basset and Chris Sherren are ready to greet the kids for the summer library program.

GROW/EDC gets new brand identity GROW/EDC is the new name for the organization formerly known as the North Santiam Canyon Economic Development Corporation (NSCEDC), which has served the North Santiam communities of Lyons through Idanha since 1996.

The NSCEDC’s flagship program GROW North Santiam became the focal point of the organization’s efforts four years ago - and through its evolution, the leadership decided it was time for a new identity.

This identity includes a renewed vision, an updated job description and staff title, a newly designed logo package and a new tagline, “leveraging grassroots resources, helping businesses grow.”

Allison McKenzie, whose new title is Executive Director and Entrepreneurial Coach, said, “We

re-branded since our focus for the last several years has been helping businesses, entrepreneurs, organizations and communities in a much wider area. We are even looking at expanding some services into other rural Marion and Linn County communities.”

The new goal is to be recognized as a national leader in grassroots business development, according to John McGinn, GROW/EDC chairperson. “We currently offer free one-on-one consulting, as well as educational opportunities for entrepreneurs in a collaborative setting. Looking forward, we want to continue focusing our efforts on helping entrepreneurs be more effective in their businesses.”

Police commissioner collaborates to form neighborhood watch

Interested in starting Neighborhood Watch in your neighborhood? Mill City Police Commissioner Ann Hollady is collaborating with Linn County Sheriff’s neighborhood watch liaison, Jim Lepin, to help form new watch groups locally.

A Neighborhood Watch is simply when a group of neighbors comes together and agrees they’ll pay attention to what’s going on. Sometimes neighbors have monthly barbecues and sometimes they ask each other to keep an eye on their property while they are on vacation.

Info: Commssioner Ann Holaday 503-897-3151 or Linn Co. Sheriff’s Dept Jim Lepin at jlepin@linnsheriff.org.
