School Board budget decisions create controversy Meeting scheduled May 2 to discuss impending $700,000 budget shortfall and cuts to facilities

Local parents have been concerned about upcoming budget decisions from the Santiam Canyon School District.

So concerned, in fact, that the school district changed the date and location of the May 3 board meeting to allow for anticipated bigger crowds.

At the same time, members of the school district board have been reaching out to parents to find out what they would prefer the district to do - in light of the impending $700,000 budget shortfall for next year, which will cause program, facility and staff cuts.

So far, 12 school district staff have been notified that their jobs are in jeopardy for the 2012-13 school year, said Superintendent Brad Yates.

The district is also considering closing one of their three campuses, although this remains uncertain, and if so, which campus should be closed.

Interested parties should attend the Santiam Canyon

School Board meeting on Wednesday, May 2 at 6:30pm at the Mill City Middle School Multipurpose Room. *Please note change in day and location.* Proposed budget cuts at the last school district meeting, held April 23, left many unanswered questions.

Cost saving measures, like closing a school campus and eliminating teacher positions, have yet to be decided on - they are merely considerations for the school board, said Superintendent Brad Yates.

The district is facing a multitude of challenges and several factors are contributing to the financial crisis.

Continued declining enrollment, reduced state funding, disappearance of stimulus funding, and overall increased costs of goods are part of the problem.

The school district currently receives fewer dollars per student through state funding than they (cont’d on page 3)

Volunteers go door-to-door for Lyons fire bond Lyons resident Terry Sears (r) talks with volunteer Michael Rogers (l) about the upcoming fire equipment bond.

Sears was an 8 year volunteer with Stayton fire. “I’ll help these boys any way I can.”

A group of Lyons volunteer firefighters gave up their Saturday morning last weekend to raise awareness about the upcoming $1.45 million fire equipment bond on the May 15 ballot.

The Lyons Rural Fire Protection District has proposed the bond to replace four vehicles that are between two and three decades old.

The current fleet compromises the safety of firefighters and the public, said Byron Brown of the People for the Lyons Rural Fire District (PLRFD).

Volunteers Bob Bivans, Steve Walker, Michael Rogers, Ryan Orr and Byron Brown all went door-to-door last weekend - on their own time, and on behalf of PLRFD - to answer questions about Measure 22-114.

lic) knows as much as they can, so they can make an informed decision,” said volunteer Steve Walker. “I wish people wanted to know more.”

The bond will cost the median Lyons homeowner under $16 a month ($7.90 per month for $100,000 of assessed property value) for the next ten years.

It’s needed to purchase 3 vehicles for the district: a fire engine, a combination fire/rescue vehicle and a water transporting vehicle.

So far, the district has received a positive response from the community, said Captain Bob Bivans.

The People for the Lyons Rural Fire District will be holding 2 info sessions to answer questions on May 3 and May 10 from 7pm9pm at the Lyons Fire Hall meeting room. Info: 503-991-1035

Dear Editor, The article on “The Legend of the Camp 26 Bedcats” was really an enjoyable story. Mr. Bastuscheck made it great - he should write a book. I believe the story was so much more interesting for us older people who remember people talking about Camp 26 and of the gold then and now on the North Fork. Great story for your paper.

Take a Hike Exploring the canyon and beyond with Teri Ottosen to Shellburg Falls

Warmer weather has finally arrived with a renewed interest in experiencing the outdoors. Since I hate going to the gym because it’s well,… boring, I hit the trails as one way to exercise. I am frequently asked where I like to hike, so I thought I’d share some of my wanderings.

Before you go, I encourage you to be prepared so search and rescue doesn’t have to haul your fanny out of a sticky situation.

Our Canyon is rich with beauty. Keep in mind changing seasons bring new scenery, so if you find an area you like, explore it year round.

This week’s featured hike is Shellburg Falls. Shellburg Falls reminds me of a small Silver Creek Falls, and the trail winds behind the water fall and meanders onto a small campground. It is a great hike for beginners and, if you go this time of year, you’ll see an abundance of wildflowers in bloom like orchids, trillium, lady slippers and irises.

Getting there: From Hwy 22 turn north at Gene’s Meat Market in Mehama onto Fern Ridge road and drive 1.2 miles to the day use parking area. Hike around the yellow gate on a gravel road and cross

the pasture. It’s legal to be on the road, but not on the surrounding private lands.

Don’t worry about the cows, they’re docile.

However, if your dog has a hankering for beef, please leash up!

Continue hiking into the wooded area until you come to the creek and the first falls which crosses under the road about 1¼ mile from the gate. Turn north up the steps to hike 1/5 mile to Shellburg Falls.

From the view point you can turn back, or continue up the trail to the campground which has water and a pit toilet. From there you can hike the road or retrace your steps to return to the trail head.

Please keep in mind that some of the land in this area is privately owned, so obey the rules and signs posted and pick up after yourself. If you pack it in, you need to pack it out!

Stop at the Santiam State Forest Office in Mehama (off North Fork Road) to grab a map - and read next week’s article right here for a new place to explore.

If you have a hike you’d like to see featured or have questions, please email: tottosen@live.com.

And, “When the gas prices go up, people move out,” said Superintendent Yates at the April 23 district meeting.

The Canyon Weekly asked the superintendent a few questions this week to help to clarify.

Q: Have ten staff members been given notice that they will be laid off?

A: Superintendent Brad Yates (Yates): “6 classified and 6 licensed staff members have been give notice that their positions for next year are in “jeopardy” and are being considered as part of budget reductions.”

Q: Is this decision absolute?

A: Yates: “No.” Q: Who decides who shall be laid off?

A: Yates: “Administration makes a recommendation to the board, which is part of the budget.”

Q: Which positions - in which schools will be cut?

A: Yates: “It’s hard to (say) this by (which) building, because people bump others based on date of hire and certification. Example: an aide may be cut at Gates Elementary, but replaced by an

aide from Mill City Middle School.”

Q: Is there any way to explain the reasoning behind each of these decisions (lay-offs)?

A: Yates: “For classified it is by job title, then seniority. For licensed staff it is by certification, then seniority.”

Q: About closing one of the campuses: Is this a decision that has been made, or is it only in the ‘consideration’ phase?

A: Yates: “Just an option at this point.”

Residents who are concerned or have questions about the future of the Santiam Canyon School District should attend the meeting on Wednesday, May 2 at 6:30pm at the Mill City Middle School Multipurpose Room. *Please note change in day and location.* Public input is welcomed.

Residents are invited to meet the new Santiam High School Head Football Coach this coming May 7 at SHS gymnasium at 7pm.

Brad Emmert, the newly hired coach, started his football career at Sweet Home High where he was chosen for the All State Team. After earning his Master’s Degree from Willamette University, he returned to Sweet Home to begin his coaching career. Now, he’s looking forward to seeing growth, on and off the field, in the Mill City based Santiam High team.

Welcome to the World!

Jax Robert Melvin Hall

“I’m looking forward to meeting as many people as possible, including parents of players interested in playing football, parents of MCGRA-aged players, and anyone else in the community who loves Santiam High,” said Emmert.

Emmet and his wife Selena (pictured) have been married for 6 years. They have 3 1/2 year old twins, Myles and Molli, and a 1 year old son, Brexton. The family currently lives in Silverton.

One of Emmets mentors, Rob Younger (former head coach at Sweet Home High and current Associate Director of Oregon Athletics Coaches Association), taught him that attention to details in all facets of life will lead to success on the football field.

Chamber of Commerce recognizes businesses, individuals at community awards night

Standing ovations, scholarships and some all-around great entertainment highlighted the 2012 Santiam Awards Night last Wednesday.

In a fun and free-flowing format, the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce brought together local performers for a fun night of community togetherness at the annual Santiam Awards Night.

Music opened the evening, with the Santiam Community Chorus, the Santiam High School Guitar Class and the SHS Choir coming together to sing Stand by Me, followed by performances from Santiam High’s own Natazha Howard and Valley Hood.

Mari-Linn School’s talented 4th grade comedian Henry Behrens performed his string of hilarious one-liners, which had the crowd laughing - and ended in a standing ovation.

With the help of guest presenter State Representative Sherrie Sprenger, the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce recognized: Aerni Trees and Painting for Business of the Year, McKenzie Reeser for Student of the Year and the Mill City Eagles Lodge for the Non-Profit of the Year.

Mike Long, a long-standing Chamber of Commerce Board member and organizer of the Youth Benefit Golf Tournament, was recognized as Volunteer of the Year.

Two President’s Awards were given: one to Cathy Morris of the Linn Co. Sheriff’s Department and the other to The Canyon Weekly, both for their dedication and enthusiasm for the community.

Local realtor Nancy Kelle was presented with the City of Mill City’s Marion White Volunteerism Award for her work on the Mill City Planning Commission and the Mill City Fire Department Board.

Marion County Commissioner Sam Brentano helped present the youth scholarships and grants from the 2011 Youth Benefit Golf Tournament (www.YBGolf.com). Six $500 scholarships went to: Rebecca Tabor of Regis High; Holly Hemphill and Christina Morreira of SHS; Ashley Callahan, Makenna Maurer, Dlanie Coates of Stayton High.

Seventeen mini-grants, totalling $6,000, were awarded to: Mehama Ball Park; Santiam Children’s Theatre Program; Diamondback Clovers 4-H Group; Mill City Gates Recreation Association; MCMS Science Program and Outdoor School Program; SHS - Boys Basketball Program, Football Program, Baseball Program, Summer Reading Program, Drug & Alcohol Free Grad Nite, Summer Work Program; Regis Drug & Alcohol Free Grad Nite; Santiam Canyon Young Life; MC Library and Ly-

ons Public Library.

“I know it’s hard to volunteer sometimes, it’s hard to take that time out of your day,” said Chamber Board President Eric Ortiz.

“But it’s that great feeling you get – it makes it so worth it.”

The North Santiam Chamber of Commerce thanks Santiam Memorial Hospital, Pacific Power, North Santiam Community Credit Union, Freres Lumber, Caroline Gillaspy, Chamber of Commerce volunteers, Santiam Canyon School District and The Canyon Weekly for their help with this event.

Poets Among Us Another Tale of “Jesus Christ”

by Sachiko Bastuscheck, Lyons

And also There is an old custom That gives a cross To a newly born baby’s forehead With charcoal ink.

In an early spring day I visited a Japanese family Who takes care of “Jesus Christ and his brother’s graves” with an American minister.

The head of the family Whose face has the faint looks of a foreigner, tells us...

“I don’t know if the graves are really theirs or not.

I remember an old people’s story That when our village got a serious famine, Two foreigners Who lived apart from our place Brought us food ---Edible grasses, roots, stems, nuts...

The villagers thanked them very much.

Soon one of them got married with a village woman Later My great-grandfather got married With one of their daughters.

Look The Star of David carved On the doorway of our house.

R ust B ucket

I don’t know if the graves are theirs or not.

But it is quite natural To take care of the grave As an ancestor.

An American minister told me “Perhaps The two foreigners might be Run-away priests from the authorities.

In the feudal days in Japan Many missionaries suffered persecution.

Japanese thought “brother” meant blood-ties brother.

But priests called each other “Brother” Under the God. Every summer There is a local “Jesus Christ Festival.”

Local women wear yukata (summer kimonos) And dance around the two grave sites.

Singing mysterious words: “Na Nya Do Ya Ra Na Nya Do Ya Re...”

Lyons author Sachiko Bastuscheck is a nationally recognized award winning poet in her home country of Japan, and an author of 12 books of poems.

local legends, facts & fables brought to you by the North Santiam Historical Society Q: When was the first gold claim filed in the Quartsville area?

Answer: The first claim was filed in September 1863 by Jeremiah Driggs. One route to the mine was up the south side of the river, through Fox Valley and King’s Prairie, then over the hill to the Quartsville mines. ( From 100 Years in the North Santiam Canyon.

Stayton woman wins Gene’s Meat Market prize at Rotary event

Gale Woodworth of Stayton was the winner of 20 pounds of pork at the recent wine tasting event put on by the Stayton area Rotary Club. Woodworth had attended the annual Rotary event for the last four to five years, and returned to support the civic group this year. “It was awesome there - they do such a good job. And the BBQ pork from Gene’s Meat Market was wonderful.”

The 20 pound meat box prize was donated by Steve Giesy of Gene’s Meat Market in Mehama. Last week, Gale Woodworth stopped by the market to pick it up. “I never win anything,” said Woodward, who fittingly received another prize that week - her first grandson, Eli Kamweti, was born shortly after the Rotary event.
