About noon on September 11, the Stayton Fire District responded to report of a manufactured home on fire in the 21200 block of Ferry Rd. in Mehama. The fire was accidental and caused by embers from a metal fire pit adjacent to the home, said officials. By the time that the first unit from the Stayton Fire District arrived, half the home was involved in flames and the fire was spreading quickly due to strong east winds. But thanks to their quick response, the fire was controlled in 30 minutes. No one was at home at the time of the fire. A cat in a pet carrier on the front porch was rescued be-
Restoration of BB River salmon runs continues
Last week we began talking about the return of the salmon to the Breitenbush River for the first time since the 1950’s. This week even more fish were trucked upstream from the Minto Fish Collecting Facility and released into the wild waters of the Breitenbush near the Hot Springs Community. According to Greg Grenbemer, manager of the Minto Facility, the goals are to release several hundred adult spawning salmon this season. The fish should set to spawning immediately, laying an approximate average of 4,500 eggs each. The adults will then die off naturally in the stream while their eggs mature. Of those eggs very few survive to adulthood. “The hopes are that 1% might find their way back here as adults,” said Grenbemer. Grenbemer has had a hand in the lives of each of these salmon, playing a significant role in their life cycle. Each of the adults released last week were spawned by his team at the Minto facility 4-5 years ago. Their eggs were trucked to the Marion Forks fish hatchery on the upper Santiam where they were hatched and then grew for 16 months. The adolescent fish were then taken back to Minto were they were released to begin their journey to the ocean. The word for the week is: Fecunidy--the measurement of how many eggs layed by each female, or the quality of being able to reproduce in great numbers. More next week on the fish restoration.

Eagles Lodge seeks active members to continue charitable works programs
The Mill City Fraternal Order Eagles Lodge has been around for forty-five years. The organization is dedicated to community service and good works. The vast majority of it activities help support families, our schools and charities. The lodge has over 300 members but only handfuls are active. That is troubling and unsustainable. Each year we donate over $6000 to worthy causes through fund raising events and activities. If we are to continue our work and prosper we need to increase participation and commitment to what we do. Without personal involvement we are dependent on a small core group to carry the ball. Over the long term, that is unmanageable and self-defeating. Our community cannot grow and prosper without the support of organizations like the Eagles. We need members to actively participate in what
we do, we need new members to join us, we need involvement, we need volunteers and we most especially need support to flourish. Our objectives have always been to be a valuable resource and useful partner to our community. But without the support of the community we will wither. Get involved, get active, become a member, volunteer. The North Santiam Canyon will be better place for it and continue to be a place that we choose to live. Contact the Mill City Eagles at 503-8973100 or drop by the lodge 640 SW Broadway. We are open 4PM to 9PM (or later) Monday through Friday and 12PM to whenever on Saturday and Sunday. Meetings for current members are held each Thursday at 7:30PM. Robert Yates, President North Santiam FOE No. 3384
Thank you, from the Reynolds family I would like to thank everyone who came to the service, sent card and flowers. The weather was perfect. Carol Swanson did a wonderful job officiating. I’d like to thank my daughter Lyn and granddaughter Amanda for their wonderful eulogy, and my grandson Gabe for his eulogy. Thank you to John Olivera for his beautiful song. Thank you to Sharlene Trexler for the wonderful buffet. I highly recommend her catering services. A special thanks to the Gates Fire Department and their spouses for letting us use their facility for the Celebration of Life for my wife, Joan. Lee Reynolds and Family
Joan (Stepanof) Reynolds, 82, died August 18, 2014 in Mill City. She and her husband Lee moved to the Gates/Mill City area in 1978. Joan and Lee, with their family, owned and operated the Frontier Country Restaurant “Bird House” in Gates for 32 years. While owning the restaurant they were very involved in the community, and awarded the “Hall of Fame” from the Santiam School District in 2008 for their involvement and support of the schools. Her grave side service was held on Friday, August 22 at Fairview Cemetery in Mill City. Inc.

Wolverines: Runners return to action
gea farm and around 100 competitors from schools 1-4A. This race saw Colton Craigmyle (15:31; 24th) join the team running in the 3K (1.86 Miles) Novice Race. The other four runners ran in the 5K JV race seeing Caleb Stair (23:29; 11th) being the first under 4A across the line. Josh Fawcett (24:47; 26th) had a strong race and Austin Fawcett fought off a charge at the end to come in at 25:47; 48th. Noah finished the day crossing the line at 26:21; 39th. It was a good solid start, and the Wolverine runners look to continue getting stronger at the Silver Falls Oktoberfest Invitational at the Old Ranch in Silver Falls State Park on Wednesday, Sep. 10th at 5:00. Coach Matthew Shepherd said, “We have a good group of students running, and looking at getting better each week, each race, and we will be looking pretty good when it comes time for Districts.”
Santiam teams see victories in football, volleyball
Pictured 5 game JV football at right: schedule also. High School volley- Kelsey Clark goes for the ball is improving each ball in a week. Their record is game against 3-6 with victories over St. Paul last Scio, Clatskanie, and week. Gervais. There are no seniors on the team and so these players should be around for a while to develop the program. Junior High volleyball has around 25 ladies out for the sport. The players are enthusiastic and very competitive. A new sport for Santiam this year is Cross Country. Our roster consists of 5 boys and one girl. It is a start and the players are excited about the opportunities to compete and improve on their times.

By Ted Buck, Santiam Junior/Senior High Athletic Director The athletic programs for the senior and junior high schools are up and running! All sports will be participating this week. Junior High football was the last of the teams to finally get an opportunity to play (September 18 at home against Blanchet). High School football is off to a 2-0 start and a #12 ranking in OSAA. Homecoming is this Friday, September 19th against #3 ranked Culver in a great non-league match-up. So far this year the football team has defeated Jefferson (48-0) and Waldport (13-0). There are over 30 players out this season which allows for a

By Matthew Shepherd and Daniel Asay After a couple of years hiatus, Santiam Wolverine Cross Country is back. In the first week of action, Santiam was represented well at the Darell Deedon Cascade Invitational at Cascade High School and the Ultimook Race in Tillamook County. Running for the Wolverines are freshmen Josh Fawcett and Colton Craigmyle, Sophomores Austin Fawcett and Noah Butler, and Junior Caleb Stair. Team coaches are Matthew Shepherd and Daniel Asay. At the Darell Deedon Cascade Meet, four runners ran in the 5K (3.1 Miles) Varsity race with a field of 90 runners. The day was dry and warm with a flat course, and a fire truck that sprayed runners as they passed. Josh Fawcett (22:38; 53rd) was the first Wolverine over the finish line, followed by his brother Austin (23:45; 63rd). Noah (24:05; 67th) was the third Wolverine followed by Caleb (24:38; 70th). Coach Daniel Asay said, “It was a good beginning race to see where they are at, to stretch the legs and run competitively for the first time.” The Ultimook Race was a challenge course with a 50 foot mud pit, two river crossings, a 1/4 mile hill, and a run around a hydran-

Gates Comm. Church to present The Story
Gates Community Church of Christ is getting ready for a 32 week series called The Story, said church organizers. The series will happen on Sundays at 11am at 40070 Gates School Road. “It’s a seamless story of the entire Bible in a new and exciting way that is understandable and relatable. The Story takes the Bible, puts it in chronological order, and reads like a novel.” “The Bible is filled with exciting and intense stories of love, war, birth, death and miracles. There’s poetry, culture, history and theology. It’s a suspense novel, a book of sociology, a history lesson all woven around one eternal conflict: good versus evil. This story offers a glimpse of people in a different time and place who are yet very much like us today (The Story, preface).” “You don’t want to miss a moment of it! Come Sunday morning at 11am to join in the adventure of a lifetime!” Info: 503-897-3210.

Each week we receive this log “as-is” from the Linn County Sheriff Office, spelling errors, cut off sentences and all. What you see is what we get!

Creating Scenic Water and Foot Trail Systems focus of upcoming statewide meetings
Press Release--Public meetings on statewide trails plan to be held throughout the state in October Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept. 09/17/14 Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) invites comments on the development of a statewide comprehensive trails plan at 14 workshops scheduled throughout the state in October. Planning will cover motorized ATV trails, snowmobile trails, nonmotorized trails, water trails and state Scenic Waterways. Trail users, representatives of outdoor recreation businesses and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend to provide feedback on regional trail issues and needs and to help identify trail development opportunities. Workshop participants will also identify potential river corridors to be considered as additions to the Oregon Scenic Waterway Program, which sets aside river corridors for recreation and resource protection. Under direction from Governor Kitzhaber, OPRD studies at least three waterways every two years to see if they could be added to the scenic waterway system. Information on the process is available at: http://www.oregon.gov/ oprd/Trail_Programs_Services/Pages/ Scenic-Waterways-Assessment-Process. aspx. Feedback from the workshops will be Secretary Mill City Skate Park used to update theProjectcurrent Statewide Trails Plan for Oregon that was completed in 2005. The final product - to be titled Oregon Trails 2015: a Vision for the Future - is scheduled for completion in December 2015. Workshops are scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. as follows: Oct. 1, Pendleton, Little Vert Theater Room (downstairs), 345 SW Fourth St. 12
