Detroit Lake holds classic cruise-in car rally Annual event also served as memorial for local car accident victim
Close to 60 classic vehicles graced the sidelines of Detroit Ave on September 17 at the Detroit Lake Cruise-In Car Rally. Organized the the Detroit Lake Recreation and Business Association, the event serves as a fundraiser for their annual fireworks events. It also gives locals and visitors a chance to network with other serious car owners. This year, it gave one family the opportunity to remember a life taken too early. Dannie Lee Park, the past owner of Detroit Market, was honored by his family and local residents at the Detroit Lake Cruise-In September 17. The local car enthusiast was recently killed in an auto accident on Hwy 22. In his memory, eleven family members organized a five-car entry at the show - and all wore t-shirts with a photo of Dan and
his 1966 Ford Galaxy Convertible. “We, as a family, decided that was what we wanted to do to honor dad,” said Shannon Waddle, Dan Park’s daughter. “It was something he loved to do...especially with my brothers. He was always there for me. We thought that would be a great way to spend the day.” Dan Park’s 1966 Ford Galaxy Convertible won first place in the convertible category, as well as took Best in Show - a category that is chosen by the car participants themselves. His son Bob Parks won first place in the muscle car division for his 1973 Challenger and daughter-in-law Jeannie Park took second place in the convertible division with her 1965 GTO.
The family was also presented with a plaque to honor Dan Park’s community dedication as former Detroit mayor and for his active citizenship. After the car show, the family met at a close friends house to remember him. Toni Park, Dan’s wife who was also involved in the car accident, is “doing well.” The family has set up a memorial Facebook page: Memorial Site for Dannie Lee Park

Kirkland has spent the past seven years restoring the ‘68 440 block police interceptor after finding it in Burns, OR. Left: Jim and Melba Davidson of Detroit entered their 1965 Chevy Impala in the convertible category. They found the car in Stayton - it’s almost all original, with the exception of a rebuilt engine. “We like to come because it supports our local events like Fireworks Over the Lake,” said Melba Davidson.

Idanha/Detroit Emergency Medical Team to get new housing Rotating roster of 30 responders will soon call the former Fishing Hole home
Eichler donated two months rent so the department could move into his two story building on Detroit Ave. It used to be a gift shop called The Fishing Hole. Now, it will temporarily house sleeping quarters for a rotating roster of 30 emergency responders like EMTs. The majority of those EMT’s are coming from areas like Portland to gain experience. They don’t get paid, so the building will provide them a place to stay while helping the Detroit/Idanha Just a few of our Detroit/Idanha emergency respond- community from Little Sweden to the ers: (l to r) Theresa Easton, first responder; Anton Hwy 20/22 junction.

department was cited with service violations that led to the de-certification by ambulance governing agencies. Since then, they have been re-approved by the Linn County Ambulance Service Area and are waiting for Marion County approval. “We’ve done everything they asked of us,” said Assistant Squad Commander Cory Stouder, who said that transporting patients to the hospital is how the fire department is funded. “We’ll know (Marion County’s decision) in the next month or two.” The ambulance will continue to be housed at the Idanha Fire Station until a garage structure is added to the Detroit Ave. building. The department has also gained a new EMS Director Lori Richmond and overseeing physican Seth Izenburg.
Resale clothing store to hold anniversary discount days Sept 30-Oct 1 Seven years ago, local business owner Debbie Turner of Deb’s Attic saw a need for a quality used clothing store in Stayton. So she started one downtown on Third St with a mere 15 pairs of shoes. It was

Now we encompass everything.” Those 15 pairs of shoes has turned into a whole shoe room - and the store is stocked with Halloween costumes and holiday decorations. “I saw a need in this community.” Info: Deb’s Attic 503-767-3234.

Abandoned Mill City property causes roadblock for watershed restoration
Just south of Mill City lies a “funky little strip of land” that has become a big roadblock in restoring the SnakeDeford watershed. That’s because no one seems to agree who owns it. Some time ago, the small square was deemed abandoned after the property owner failed to pay taxes. Now, its become a county road near Tours Lane about ½ mile south of Kingwood Ave. and it covers just one of the culverts that the North Santiam Watershed Council is working to replace to make it more fish - and people - friendly. The culvert needs to be replaced to help the watershed recover and keep the roadway dry. At one point, it backed up so much that it caused Tuers Lane to flood. One resident took advantage of the situation and turned the road into the newest, albeit temporary, kayak route. The City of Mill City says that Linn County owns the lot, but Linn County doesn’t seem to think so and won’t pay
for the culvert replacement unless they agree that it belongs to them. The North Santiam Watershed Council, who is spearheading the restoration effort, is creatively sidestepping the issue for the greater good. They don’t care who owns the property - they just want the culvert replaced - and they’ll do it at their own expense, with the permission of the surrounding landowners. “It’s the ugly step-child property. We’re trying to sidestep the conversation about who owns it,” said Liz Redon of the North Santiam Watershed Council, a volunteer based group that works with property owners to restore watersheds without making new laws. They just want to continue with their restoration efforts. “We sent postcards to the adjacent property owners and all we need it their OK. They don’t have to do anything but agree to let us replace the culvert.”

Geothermal heating a fast growing trend
Carl and Donna Lou Robbins have seen a steady growth in geothermal climate control - so much that their business is booming beyond the Santiam Canyon. This year, they’re taking on the Albany Home Show at Linn County Fairgrounds Sept 30 - Oct 2. Geothermal heating and cooling takes advantage of the earth’s constant underground temperature to lighten the load on existing furnaces and air conditioners. The technology has been around for awhile and now government incentives are helping drive the upswing of demand. “There’s so many energy incentives out there that a lot of new companies are jumping on the geothermal bandwagon,” said owner Donna Lou Robbins. “We’ve been doing it for ten years...we often get called to come fix the issues left by inexperienced companies.” Discount event tickets are available at 22626 Jennie Rd Lyons, or call Lyons Heating and Cooling at 503-859-2325.

Santiam School District seeks towel donations In an effort to help keep the cost down for students and for those participating in extra-curricular activities, the middle school and high school are asking patrons for towels. Currently, the schools have a limited supply of towels - and it’s making it very hard to meet the demands for various sports or activities. “Each year the district purchases several dozen towels, but somehow the “magically” disappear...about 2-3 a week. By the end of the year 100-150 towels are gone,” according to Santiam High School
Principal David Plotts. “It’s not really practical to have students/ athletes bring their own because the lockers are too small for them to dry and it’s not as sanitary.” The schools have wrestled with this issue for some time. They are asking that if parents of current or former students have any towels lying around the house to please bring them to the schools. Color is not an issue, said Mr. Plotts. “We just need towels...just a thank you to those who can help us out.” Info: Santiam HS 897-2311 Mill City Middle School 897-2368.

Young sailors and landlubbers alike from grades Kindergarten through 4th grade made hats, read maps and searched for clues. The pirates filled the halls with “Arr” and “Ahoy.” The following day is now officially known as Please Stop Talking Like a Pirate Day.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report
September 21, 2011 503-897-3301 This is a good week to fish for steelhead above Fishermen’s Bend by driftboat and it is the last week of good driftboat levels. Next Monday, the river will rise to something over 3,000 cubic feet per second, and that level is awkward (read that as wet) for driftboats but still wonderful for raft trips or fishing from shore in selected locations. Although many steelhead have gone upstream from Packsaddle (because of the Minto Trap project) and are hanging around Niagara and Little Sweden there are still some beautiful steelhead and large trout hanging around the salmon spawning beds in many locations. Minto Park, Bilyeau Bar, the mile below Spencer’s Hole, below Mill City Bar, the Frank Hole, and Fishermen’s Bend have all had angling success recently. Surprisingly, a new batch of chrome bright steelhead swam under the Mehama Bridge on September 18, and Shuttle Bob caught one of them. It acted like it just came out of the ocean and did many runs and jumps. It had a double fin clip (adipose and dorsal) and was headed for the barbecue. A surprising situation happened around Stayton Island last week. Hundreds of Chinook were spawning around the island just above upper Bennett Dam, and all the way down the North Channel at Stayton Island. Big trout are feeding on the salmon beds, and because they also feed on the Fall Caddis hatch, this is a great time for catch and release trout fishing with flies or small lures. Coho salmon are starting to come up this river, and only 195 have crossed Willamette Falls. More will come soon. Steelheaders Salem Chapter will meet at 7:00 p.m. at Keizer Community Center on Tuesday September 21. We will have a demonstration of North Santiam River fishing rods and tackle that were used successfully last season.

Libraries offer homebound services for canyon residents
The Lyons Public Library would like to remind all current and potential future patrons that we offer free homebound services to all patrons who are interested in receiving books, movies or audio materials through the library, but who may be unable to visit the Library in person due to
physical or other limitations. We support your patronage through the delivery of materials to your home. If you are interested in participating in this service, please telephone the library (503-8592366) during regular business hours (Tues thru Thurs 1pm-6:30pm & Sat 10:30am thru 3pm) to discuss this program or leave a message and we will return your call to discuss any material requests. The City of Lyons is currently pursuing options to improve physical access to the new Library building. Until this project is completed, we want to make sure that
all services and materials are conveniently available to ALL of our patrons.
