Helicopter pilot dies in crash near Detroit

Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller reports on Monday, September 16, 2013 at 3:42 P.M., the Linn County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a helicopter crash near Blowout Road near Detroit. The incident occurred at a logging site on National Forest land, near Forest Service Road 1003, approximately two miles from Highway 22.

Witnesses of the crash gave deputies the following account: The helicopter, a 1962 Bell UH1B, was being used to transport logs from the cutting area to a log deck in Idanha. It had just returned after the pilot had taken a 45 minute break. The helicopter had picked up a load when witnesses reported hearing a loud snapping sound which was followed by logs hitting the ground and it appeared the pilot had released the logs electronically, indicating the pilot knew of a problem prior to the crash. Witnesses then saw a rotor separate from the helicopter followed by it turning upside down and falling to the ground.

The pilot, William Bart Colantuono, 54, of Indialantic, Florida was pronounced dead at the scene. He was the sole occupant of the aircraft. Colantuono was also a pilot on the History Channels television show, “The Axmen.” The helicopter is owned by Umatilla Lift Services, also from Indialantic, Florida.

Umatilla Lift Services was subcontracted by R&R Conner Aviation from Darby, Montana to fly logs from the logging site for Freres Lumber Company in Mill City.

Linn County Deputies, U.S. Forest Service personnel, Detroit and Gates Fire Departments, along with medics from the Lyons Fire Department assisted on the scene with the investigation. The Federal Aviation Administration, National Transportation Safety Board, and Occupational Safety and Health Administration have been notified. The investigation is continuing. The helicopter has not been removed from the scene and the FAA inspected it on Tuesday.

Corps to host North Santiam Fish Project info sessions

press release--The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will host two information sessions this month to update North Santiam Basin businesses, residents and visitors about the status of efforts to help endangered fish species at Detroit Dam. The first session will be held Monday, Sept. 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the Red Lion Hotel & Convention Center, 3301 Market St. NE, Salem. The second session will be held Thursday, Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at the Santiam Junior/Senior High School, 265 SW Evergreen St., Mill City.

The content of both sessions will be identical. Corps program and project managers will review the operation of the 13 Willamette Valley dams (including Detroit and Big Cliff) for competing water uses, the 2008 Biological Opinions and their recommendations for endangered fish species, and the status of Corps efforts to implement those recommendations on the North Santiam.

The Corps’ 13 Willamette Valley dams contribute to a water resource management system that provides flood risk management, power generation, water quality improvement, irrigation, fish and wildlife habitat and recreation on the Willamette River and many of its tributaries. Since their completion, the dams have cumulatively prevented more than $22 billion in flood damages in the Willamette Valley.

Two local authors recently publish inspirational writings

Sublimity writer contributes story, shares life lessons in a new book, Dedicated to the Cup, Nine Ways to Reinvent a Life

By Nicole Miller “Life is like a good cup of coffee, full of flavor and meant to savor.” That’s the message behind the popular new book, Dedicated to the Cup, Nine Ways to Reinvent a Life,” by Bonnie Milletto of Portland. With nine chapters themed on values, the book features stories from people all over the U.S. about learning and growing from the events that have shaped their lives.

Janine Moothart, who contributed the story “Bruised Knees and Encouragement,” is a local who is well-known in the education sector. She spent more than 30 years of her career in the public school system as a high school teacher, college career and work experience counselor, and community college administrator for the Chemeketa Santiam Campus in Sublimity. Janine is now enjoying her encore career as the Marketing and Development Director for Regis High School and St. Mary Catholic School in Stayton.

Janine shares her story about how a track coach influenced her at a young age. “The idea of ‘stretching’ just a little further is something I think of when close to my goal. I think of Coach Smith, who certainly didn’t need to take that much extra time with one of his stuLakeside dents.

Mill City Writer, Marty Magee, Publishes second book,

By Karen Widmer In Marty Magee’s new book, Twenty-Five Days Around the Manger, A Light Family Advent Devotional, there are 25 entries, one for each day from December 1 through Christmas. Each includes a phrase from a Christmas carol, a light anecdotal 200-400 word story and a scripture verse. She calls it, “biblical without being heavy handed.”

Magee admits to a lifelong dislike for Christmas. So, “I decided to do something about it since I know I’d be lost without the Baby King born in that stinky barn. The real Christmas has nothing to do with Santa or cookies or gifts--or even chocolate. But this book has helped me not take myself so seriously that I can’t enjoy the fringe benefits of this time much of the world celebrates our Saviour’s birth” she writes. Here is an excerpt titled: WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT HERALD? Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King; Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled.”

Charles Wesley, 1707-88 “What’s the big deal about Herald? Everybody thinks he’s the best angel.”

“Maybe he is. You’re jealous.”

“No I’m not. He toots his own horn like he’s somebody special.”

“He’s not tooting his own horn. He’s telling everyone about the new king.”

“King? He’s a baby. You see one baby, you’ve seen them all.”

“Oh I don’t think so. This baby is special.”

“How do you know?”

“I just read about him.”

“Oh that’s right, you’re the reading angel. I can’t do that.”

“Don’t feel bad that you’re the angel in charge of getting people out of the mud. That’s an important job.

“Anyway, listen to this: In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:8-12).

“I’ll talk to you later. I gotta get one of the shepherds out of the mud so he can go see the Baby King.”

This book may be purchased on Amazon for $12.30 plus postage.

Grow edible greens year round in the Santiam Canyon

By Denise Rutan Not ready to hang up your gloves and spade just yet?

The fearless gardener still has a chance to plant some cold-hardy vegetables to harvest next spring, said Jim Myers, plant breeder and researcher at Oregon State University. But don’t dawdle.

“Winter gardening is a risky business,” Myers said. “It may work one year with a mild winter but not another when the weather is more severe. If you plant some coldhardy vegetables from mid-August to early October – depending on the crop – there’s a good likelihood you will produce something on the other end in the spring. They say farming is a gamble… some years more than others.”

Cold weather doesn’t kill these hardy plants; it simply slows their growth rate.

For every rise of 18 degrees, growth rate doubles, but that guideline is only applicable for an air temperature range of 40 to 98 degrees, Myers said. If you plant cold-hardy vegetables from mid-August to early October, there is a chance they can mature by next spring if they survive in a vegetative state through the winter without reproducing.

According to Myers, the hardiest vegetables that can withstand heavy frost of air temperatures below 28 include spinach, Walla Walla sweet onion, garlic, leeks, rhubarb, rutabaga, broccoli, kohlrabi, kale, cabbage, chicory, Brussels sprouts, corn salad, arugula, fava beans, radish, mustard, Austrian winter pea and turnip.

Semi-hardy vegetables that can withstand light frost of air temperatures in the range of 28 to 32 degrees include beets, spring market carrots, parsnip, lettuce, chard, pea, Chinese cabbage, endive, radicchio, cauliflower, parsley and celery. For beets, spring market

carrots and parsnips, the tops will die but the roots will tolerate lower temperatures.

Vegetables that contain the pigment anthocyanin, which gives them a vibrant red or purple color, are more resistant to rots caused by winter rains, Myers said. They include purple-sprouting broccoli, Rosalind broccoli and purple kale.

If you live in an area of the state that gets prolonged snow cover, the fluffy white stuff acts as insulating mulch and warms the soil for these tough plants, Myers said.

No matter where you live in Oregon, “some of the worst problems we have in the winter are with rain rather than temperature, so protecting plants from the rain is quite helpful,” Myers said.

He recommends covering vegetables with high or low tunnels made from metal hoops and clear plastic, available from greenhouse supply companies.

To protect plants, you can also use row covers or cloches. To warm the soil use mulch made from yard debris, cardboard or newspaper.

Cross your fingers and by next March you could be feasting on shelled, succulent fava beans seasoned with salt and lemon juice.

Santiam Football makes the grade, gives the Home-coming crowd some home town pride!

Santiam’s homecoming game last Friday was a display of excellent Wolverine football. The crowd was excited to witness a team that was running on all cylinders, churning out an crushing 42-16 win against North Douglas. Santiam is on it’s first win streak since early 2010! The Wolverines JV players received some training and implemented their pass game with great success. Santiam faced a few adversities, such as North Douglas’s early score on the Wolverine offense.

“I am very proud of our guys for how they continue to battle every play. Our staff talks a lot about taking a step forward each week in our push to make the playoffs and become a great football team.

Players love what we are doing, they’ve completely bought into the program, and they are working harder than they have ever worked before to become great. I love coaching these guys!” said Brad Emmert, Wolverines head coach.

Some stats that stood out include Joel HIlls who had 14 carries for 143 yards and 2 TDs. Riley Nicot was 8 of 13 passing for 97 yards with two rushing TDs. Carlos Delacrus returned a kickoff 85 yards for a TD receiving a great block from Austin Whitmire to break him loose. Joel Hillwas injured, however, taking him out at the 2nd quarter and putting Sanitam’s starting center,Chris Smith, to halfback for the 2nd half of the game.

This Friday Santiam faces off with Toledo, and may be the Wolverine’s toughest game yet. Toledo just came off a big win over Jefferson, but Santiam is ready with a starting line up that is different, and more players eligible in new spots. Toldeo is going to run the ball and Santiam is going to do their staple, ground and pound football.

Currently Santiam is ranked 2nd in Tri-River Conference.

Come support the home team this Friday, 7 pm at the Santiam football field!

The Students at Santiam Jr./ High had a lot to celebrate this week..

(Clockwise from above-)Spirit week filled the halls.

The royal homecoming court and their escorts, Rose Kiel (center) was crowned Queen.

Identity thieves target children in 1 in 40 US households here is how to put a stop to it Salem) — Starting Sept. 13, parents and legal guardians can safeguard their children’s credit history from identity thieves by placing a “security freeze” on their credit files.

Oregon adults have been able to do this since 2007 through the Oregon Consumer Identity Protection Theft Act, a law the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services administers.

A security freeze prevents anyone who has fraudulently obtained a person’s personal identifying information from opening a new account or borrowing money using that information.

Placing the freeze is a two-step process: the parent or guardian creates a protected record for the minor child through the three major credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion – and then places the security freeze on that record. There is no charge to create the protected record. However, each credit reporting agency requires a $10 fee to freeze the record.

The freeze continues until the child turns 18. At that time, the child can delete the protected record. Although the record cannot be used as the basis for a credit decision, it can be used for certain background checks such as screening an applicant for employment or renting an apartment.

“It’s unfortunate that children can be identity theft victims and have their credit seriously affected or ruined at such a young age,” said Patrick Allen, director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services. “This new tool will give peace of mind to parents.”

Identity thieves target minors because their credit histories are pristine and they are unlikely to check their credit files. A 2012 study by Javelin Strategy and Research showed that one in 40 U.S. households with children under the age of 18 experienced child identity theft. Sometimes it is the parents or other family members who commit the theft.

The 2013 Legislature pursued the issue, in part based on a security breach involving the Eugene School District. The 2011 breach compromised thousands of student records, including Social Security numbers.

A subsequent investigation by the district and Eugene Police Department determined the records were not exposed beyond a few district employees and no records were used for illegal purposes.

“I am pleased that the legislature has provided Oregon families with this important tool to fight identity theft,” said Sen. Floyd Prozanski of Eugene. “It will help keep our children’s credit ratings safe.” For more information about the protected record and security freezes for both children and adults, click on “How to obtain a security freeze” at the Division of Finance and Corporate Securities website, http://www.dfcs.oregon. gov/id_theft.html.
