The group erupted into cheers and clapping as the 58 salmon were released into the waters The fish jumped and splashed as if in celebration themselves, as they set themselves upstream to seek the ancient Photo by Tom Robinson spawning grounds and complete their goal of reproducing the species. Not since the 1950’s, when Big cliff and Detroit Dams were completed, had the Salmon been able to return to the area. “The dams were installed primarily for flood mitigation for the Willamette Valley.

The driver, and single occupant of the 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, was identified as 63-year-old Christopher Finley Wallace of Mill City.

The Toews Mountain Home Celebration of the Arts happens on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 1-5pm. The $55 class fee includes a 1 hour drawing workshop, 1 hour of visual performance, 1/2 hour break for
refreshments and 1 1/2 hour of free draw. Students are asked to bring drawing paper and pencil of your choice, and any medium of your choice for free draw. Limited space so sign up early. RSVP: Paul 503-877-7710 or email toews_studio@yahoo.com or on Facebook: Art Gone Wild Studio. Directions: Look for Toews Studio signs just past milepost 35, 2 miles east of Gates.

Might help focus!” “The wooded setting and performances are there to teach and inspire,” said Toews. “With some fun along the way!

In years past Grenbemer’s crew had attempted to re-introduce the salmon to the Breitenbush by releasing them in Detroit lake, yet with out a scent to follow the fish wouldn’t go. The salmon “imprint” on the mineral contents of the creeks. “From their very first sniff they recognize their natal stream, all their lives to them, that is home,”
said Grenbemer. Within the week these fish will begin spawning and dying off in their natural cycle. After they hatch they will seek the ocean salt water downstream to grow to adulthood until ready to return again to the fresh water stream in high in the cascades.

Santiam prayer gathering coming this month Santiam Prayer Gathering... Awaken To God Prayer is one of the most powerful (and possibly underused) tools Christians have in their spiritual arsenal. Community prayer is especially important and powerful during these troubling times. The Bible says that times of increasingly greater trouble and distress will come to us as the time of Jesus’ return gets closer. Last fall several pastors in the North Santiam region began talking about the general need for more prayer in our local churches. Since the interest level among them was high they decided to organize a prayer event for January of 2014. Seven churches (Canyon Bible Fellowship, Mehama Community Church, Santiam Chapel, Foothills, Turner Church of God, Grace Bible Fellowship and Stayton Christian Church participated in that three day prayer gathering. The event was called “Santiam Canyon Call to Prayer”. The concept driving the event was simple and flexible (i.e. Let’s get together and pray). The pastors have scheduled a second prayer gathering for Sep-
tember 24th “Santiam Prayer Gathering...Awaken To God.” During this three day event simultaneous prayer meetings will be held, moving from church to church. All churches will meet together for a joint Concert of Prayer on Friday evening, September 26th, at Foothills Church in Stayton. Here are the times and places for the prayer gatherings: Wed. Sept. 24 • 5-9 a.m. Canyon Bible Fellowship, Gates Community Church of Christ, Stayton Christian Church • 5-9 p.m. Canyon Bible Fellowship, Gates Community Church of Christ, Foothills Ch urch Thur. Sept. 25 • 5-9 a.m. Mehama Community Church, Gates Community Church of Christ, Stayton Christian Church • 5-9 p.m. Mehama Community Church, Gates Community Church of Christ, Foothills Church Fri. Sept. 26 • 5-9 a.m. Canyon Bible Fellowship, Gates Community Church of Christ, Stayton
Christian Church • 7-9 p.m. All churches meet together for Concert of Prayer at Foothills Church in Stayton Although the prayer times are geared for Christians in the North Santiam Region, any person who wants to come will be welcome. The meetings will move from church to church. For most of the prayer times people can select a gathering that is most convenient for them. Prayer times will start at a quarter past each scheduled hour and continue for 45 minutes. A pastor will lead each prayer hour. People can pray out loud or silently during those times. A fifteen minute break will start at the top of each hour with a time for refreshments. Things that will be prayed about: • We will be praying for the people of the North Santiam Region. • We will be thanking God for the blessings He has given us in the North Santiam Region. • We will be praying that God awaken us to Him. We will be asking Him to forgive us as individuals and churches for things we have done that we shouldn’t have and things we haven’t done that we should have. • We will be praying for salvation through Jesus
for our friends, family members and neighbors who do not know Him. • We will be praying for Christians who are being persecuted and killed around the world. • We will be praying that there will be an awakening to God by our leaders at the national, state and local level. • We will be praying that God will bless and use the churches in the North Santiam Region in a powerful way in the next year. • We will be praising God. Gates Community Church will also be involved in this second gathering. We expect from experience that some of the pastors and people from other churches will come to some of the scheduled prayer times. It’s also possible for other churches around the North Santiam region to decide to open a prayer time in their own church or join together with other nearby churches during that week and then join together with everyone for the Concert of Prayer. The concept continues to be simple and flexible (Let’s get together and pray). Contact one of the pastors involved if you need more information.

Santiam Football Dominates Season Opener The Santiam Wolverines beat the Jefferson Lyons 48-0 last Friday night at the home game season opener, dominating the game early on scoring 3 touchdowns in the first quarter, 2 in the second and one each in the third and fourth. Head Coaches Brad Emmert, Brad Mitchell and Assistant Coaches: Doug Emmert, Derek Ownby, Brandon Kester, Doug Porter, Donovan Duer and Clint Forste have been working with the team since late summer and their effort look to be leading to a successful and highly entertaining fall of football. They play again this Friday at Waldport. Catch them, if you can, next Friday 9/19, at the Home Coming game in Mill City starting at 7 pm.
Racing for the end zone It was a game of Catch Me if You Can.... and they couldn’t. It seemed like no one could put an end to Carlos Delacruz’s running streak, scoring multiple touchdowns for the Wolverines.

Linn County Sheriff’s Office Police Log for Aug 31 - Sept 6 Dear Readers: Would you miss this column if it were gone? It has been a traditional part of the Mill City based paper to run the Linn County police report every week. At times, it is difficult to share as it often reflects a side of humanity we are not proud to admit to. Yet it does provide an opportunity to reach out to our neighbors. Marion County Sheriff’s Office does not provide a similar report so we are not privy to the same information regarding crimes and emergencies on the north side of the river.

Reward offered for return of stolen items Allie Goodwin of Mill City is offering a $200 reward for the return of her fly rods and hitch, both of which were stolen about 5am on September 9, from a location on Spring St. Two Cabela fly rods and cases were taken - one black and one green, said Goodwin, and are similar to the one pictured at right. A hitch was also taken, similar to the picture below, but bigger and longer because the truck is lifted, said Goodwin.

iconic center of the community for generations. It had been the general store in early Mill City, housing two stories of dry goods and supplies. Most recently it has been owned by Mike and Jan Long of Mill City where they ran their map making business, W.E.R. Over the years a series of banks opened there, and two large vaults remain fully intact. More recently it held space for the Baptist Church and a video store. The new owners, Mike and Vickie Erdman of Mill City, have not revealed any definitive plans for the property other than restoring it, as much as possible, to it’s original beauty. The process of gutting the inside is already underway where removal of the low slung false ceiling has revealed an open airy space with wooden pillars and catwalks. “I’d be interested in hearing what the community would like to see go in here,” said Mike Erdman. The Canyon Weekly and Kayak the Santiam will be moving by mid-November to space on Wall Street.
