Goats help clean up Hammond Park
The city of Mill City has some new landscape workers at Hammond Park. Have you met them? Billie, Nibbles, Sweet Pea, Banjo, and Amanda Lynn were there last week hard at work eating up blackberries and ivy and invasive grasses that have taken over the popular river access space. Over the years, teams of volunteers, such as the Canyon Catalysts, have spent hours laboring to try to fight back weeds. But each year it just grows back. So now there are automatic living weed eaters available happily munch-
ing back the non-native plants, thanks to the efforts of the folks at Kayak the Santiam who donated and helped built temporary goat fencing, and Mill City Parks Commissioner Thorin Thacker, who spearheaded the idea and brought in the goats. A community page on Facebook “Herding Bleating Kids” has been formed for volunteers to sign up for “kid sitting” times to make sure the hungry little helpers don’t escape from their pens there in the park. “Grab a book, a picnic, or come lay in the sun, while helping do the easiest weeding job you’ll ever do!” said organizer Thorin Thacker.
The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre, is back in Mill City next week to bring their own rendition of Alice in Wonderland to the stage. MCT has been touring extensively for more than 40 years now from Montana to Japan, and will visit nearly 1,200 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors. A tour
team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play...except the cast. The MCT team will hold an open audition Monday, August 4th at 10am to cast local and visiting kids to perform in the production. The show is then rehearsed throughout the week and public performances will be presented Friday evening and Sat-

Lost hikers spend the night in the woods Sheriffs’s office offers safety tips for survival
Over this past weekend, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescues Teams were called to three separate cases involving lost hikers. One of those rescues happened in Opal Creek Wilderness, where three boys ended up spending the night outdoors. Bodie Teeple, age 17, Alex Ruiz, age 16 and Allen Carrillo-Mejia, age 17 went hiking last Saturday around noon and failed to return from their trip. The teens had intended on a lengthy hike into the wilderness area, but only brought basic clothing and water. When they didn’t return as scheduled,
a command post was set at the Elkhorn Fire Station around midnight on July 27. Rescuers dispatched a Jeep Patrol, Posse and K9 search teams. Officials said that the teens were all found safely the next morning, walking out of the wilderness. Apparently they decided it was too dark to hike out at night so they elected to camp and start walking out the following morning. All three boys are reported to be healthy and uninjured and have been returned to their families. But not everybody is so lucky. Many lost hikers have suffered injuries, and (cont’d on page 2)
urday afternoon, all at Santiam Auditorium. All the MCT shows are original adaptations of classic children’s stories and fairytales, with a sometime crazy twist on the classic stories that you know and love. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique, educational project.
MCT’s mission is the development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts. See more info on page 8.

Why Mill City needs a skate park... Joanne Hebing of Mill City is a mother and a grandmother an active proponent of developing a skate park in Mill City. Each week, Mrs. Hebing has been submitting reasons why she believes a skate park would be a good thing for any community. The Mill City Skate Park Committee meets at least each month which are announced on their Facebook page: Mill City Skate Park Project “This skatepark effort will turn skaters into community activists. While some
people may consider skateboards the dregs of society, we will see their passion applied to phases in the process that will rival any other community action group. There are experts who will help our community plan the skatepark. The people behind the world’s more successful skateparks are available to help us plan for our own success, and they’re eager to be involved. With so much experience at our disposal we are confident that our new skatepark will be phenomenal.”

Sheriff’s office: How to have a safe hike
(cont’d from page 1) even death, and often that is due to being unprepared.
“As a hiker you must be prepared for even the simplest of trips to turn into something much more. By simply carrying a few items with you, you may be saving your own life or the life of a fellow hiker,” said a representative from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. According to REI, a well known outdoor equipment supplier, there are 10 essentials for safety, survival and basic comfort during a day hike: 1. Navigation (Map, Compass, GPS) 2. Sun protection (Sunscreen, Lip Balm, Sunglasses) 3. Insulation (Jacket, vest, pants, etc.) 4. Illumination (Headlamp, Flashlight, Extra Batteries) 5. First-aid supplies 6. Fire (Matches, Lighter, Fire Starter, Waterproof Bag) 7. Repair kit and tools (Knife, Multi-tool) 8. Nutrition (Extra Day’s Food) 9. Hydration (Water, or Filtration System) 10. Emergency shelter (Tent, Tarp, Reflective Blanket). “Please enjoy the beautiful forested areas Marion County has to offer, but in doing so please be prepared and enjoy them safely.

Trexler Farm celebrates 5 years and 100 events Popular Mehama cafe and farm store to hold anniversary celebration on August 30
Press Release—Trexler Farm is celebrating the fifth year of its popular farm café with a community celebration on Saturday, August 30 from 11am-6pm. Guests are invited to enjoy a generous piece of cake baked by owner Sharlene Trexler. Sharlene recently reached another significant milestone: she catered the café’s 100th event, a 100th birthday party for Scio resident Gladys Campau. “We’re celebrating this double milestone by thanking our many loyal customers,” said Sharlene. “Our success and growth have been the direct result of community support.” Sharlene and her husband, Kirk Trexler, purchased the land in 1997, which was once home to the Old Mehama Fish Hatchery, one of Oregon’s first hatcheries built in the 1930s. In 2009, they converted one of the hatchery buildings to a bakery, which quickly turned into the farm café. Since then,

Fishermen’s Bend celebrates 50 years Water fight, interpretive video and cruise in events scheduled this weekend
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fishermen’s Bend Recreation Site (aka Fish Bend), two miles west of Mill City, is celebrating 50 years of providing family friendly camping to generations of campers. “Come help us celebrate 50 years with a Car Cruise at Fishermen’s Bend,” said Fish Bend Assistant Manager Josh Rada. “Cruise through and show off your “HOT” Car… old, new, fancy, original, we want to see what you’ve got. And join us for a picnic lunch at the Firs Group Site.” Built in 1964, Fishermen’s Bend Recreation Site has hosted thousands of campers over the years. It’s a popular site for reunions, as families come
back to Fish Bend year after year. “When I arrived at the park in 1978, the fee to camp overnight was $3,” said long-time manager Jay Grant. “The first campground host joined us in 1981. Volunteers have made a huge difference in how well we can serve the public and take care of the park.” “Over the years, many improvements have been made, but what has not changed is that Fish Bend has helped many thousands of people make memories with their children, grandchildren and great grand children!” said Grant.

Mill City Fire Dept offers summer camping safety tips
The Mill City Fire Department wants you to stay safe while camping this year! The following tips will help you do just that: When tent camping, use candles, matches and open flames of any kind outside and away for the tent. Cooking inside the tent is extremely dangerous. Always refuel lamps, heaters or stoves outside and away from the tent. Extinguish or turn off all lanterns and heaters before going to sleep. Always store flammable liquids outside and away from the tent. Practice extreme caution when using fuel powered lanterns and heaters inside the tent. Carbon monoxide poisoning can easily occur. Use battery operated equipment when
possible. Use designated campfire ring. If there is not one, find a spot away from dry logs, branches, bushes, needles or leaves. Make sure there are no low overhanging tree branches near the fire. To build a campfire, use a shovel to clear a 10-foot area of leaves grass, roots and other material that might burn. Scoop a small hole in the center of the cleared area and place rocks around it. Cut short lengths of dry wood for the fire. A small hot fire is the best cooking and warming fire. Store any extra wood away from the campfire. Keep all objects that might burn, like matches, food
wrappings, plastic sheets and tent away from the campfire. Never leave a campfire going even if you are away from camp for only a few minutes. A fire can often creep along under the ground, slowly burning roots and dead leaves. Days later, that smoldering fire could break out into a full-blown fire. Be sure your campfire is dead out before you leave. Always drown your campfire with water. Mix the ashes with plain soil and drown it again. Be sure the rocks around the fire are cool and not hiding hot embers. Take extra care with partially burned sticks or logs. Scrape off all hot embers, wet them and then bury them.

In the Willamette National Forest, Fish Lake Guard Station gets designated a historic site
Press Release--Built by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) for the Santiam National Forest (later Willamette National Forest) between 1906 and 1934, the centrally-located Fish Lake Guard Station provided fire crews and Forest staff with an administrative base and pack animal remount station from which to provide conservation management for the forest and fire protection. Later, the Fish Lake Guard Station served as an essential catalyst in managing designated wilderness areas near the Willamette National Forest after the passage of the Wilderness Act. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on September 3, 1964,
the Wilderness Act mandated that the National Park Service, USFS, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service review all lands under their jurisdiction and designate appropriate tracts as National Wilderness areas to be protected in their natural condition. The station’s rustic-style buildings are representative examples of USFS administrative architecture built by Forest employees and the CCC using USFS and CCC plans and rustic design, made with local, natural materials to blend with the surrounding landscape. Oregon’s State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation recommended the district’s nomination in their June 2013 meeting. Over 900 properties in Linn County are now listed in the National Register, which

Firefighters responding to fires on the southern edge of forest
Firefighters are responding to at least a dozen lightning fires today on the Middle Fork Ranger District. Three of the 12 fires are several acres each; the remaining 9 are small as of this evening. “Just as you’d expect, the afternoon heat picked up and we are seeing smoke columns come off the largest of the fires out there” commented Middle Fork Fire Management Officer Randy Green. “We are
staffing them, using water drops from helicopters and plan to work aggressively to keep them as small as we can, we have more resources on the way” he added. The largest of the fires are located in, or near, the Staley Creek watershed and are approximately 25 miles southeast of Oakridge. Visitors are encouraged to use caution in areas where firefighters are actively working.
There are no public use restrictions in place at this time, but visitors should pay attention to fire danger levels and, as always, be careful with campfires. Lightning is continuing to occur this evening along the Cascade crest; one new fire has been reported on the McKenzie River RD and one on Detroit RD. Firefighters are also responding at those locations.

Oregon sees biggest timber harvest since 2006
Private forestlands see the largest increase, likely due to small acerage owners taking advantage of high prices in the export market Press Release - In 2013, Oregon’s timber harvest rose to 4.2 billion board feet, marking 4 consecutive years of increase from the recession low of 2.72 billion feet in 2009. One board foot of lumber is one foot wide, one foot long, and one inch thick, or the equivalent in volume. Construction of an approximately 1,800-square-foot house requires about 10,000 board feet. “This was the first harvest above four billion board feet in seven years,” said ODF principal economist Brandon Kaetzel, “and represents a 12 percent increase over the 2012 harvest of 3.75 billion board feet.” Timber harvest increases can be attributed to a strong export market for Oregon logs in 2013, coupled with a domestic market recovery, particularly in housing. Whether this trend will continue for the 2014 harvest is uncertain due to housing forecasts being revised to lower numbers and a sudden cooldown in the export market that occurred during the second quarter of 2014. The largest increase in harvest came from non-industrial private forestlands where harvests increased 61 percent to 511 million board feet from the 2012 total of 318 million

board feet. “This is most likely due to small forestland owners taking advantage of higher prices as a result of a still strong export market in 2013,” Kaetzel said. The harvest on industrial forestlands rose from 2.56 billion board feet in 2012 to 2.75 billion board feet in 2013, for an eight percent increase in harvest. On Oregon’s west side, federal forestland posted modest increases in harvests; an 11.5 percent increase on Bureau of Land Management lands and a six percent increase in harvests on U.S. Forest Service lands. State public lands, which include Common School Fund and Board of Forestry forestlands, posted a slight increase from 251 to 252 million board feet. Klamath County
continued to lead in eastern Oregon with a 2013 harvest of 124 million board feet. Even with a diminished infrastructure, harvests on the east side rose approximately 4% due to increases on tribal, private, and other public (e.g. county) forestland. There was a marked decrease in federal timber harvest on the east side for 2013. Lane County leads the 2013 harvest of 620 million board feet.
