Detroit strengthens vision
Dozens of people gathered last Saturday at the old Detroit High School to join in the discussion of creating a community center. The planning team led by the Detroit Lake Recreation Area Business Association (DLRABA) utilized envisioning boards where everyone could brainstorm ideas and communicate their individual desires. Possibilities for the center include an indoor event venue from the gym space and locker rooms, incorporating year-round tourism events, creating rentable office space and the hopes of creating employment opportunities. It also would be the headquarters for the Detroit Lake Foundation and could be used as storage for equipment and supplies for all

The list includes: a grant writer, attorney, appraiser, architect, developer, landscapers, contractors, graphic artist, marketing/ PR specialists and someone to head up fundraisers and events.

Teenage tourists rescued from middle of river Last Sunday was a beautiful day to be on the river, but for two teenagers visiting from Alaska it turned into a frightening one. A call had come into Mill City Fire Department that two young women were stuck in the middle of the river on a snag holding onto a small inflatable raft and wearing infant sized lifejackets on their arms. The crew from MCFD tried to convince them to return to their raft and float downstream, but the girls, both aware of their poor swimming abilities and afraid for their lives, refused. Tim Widmer, a local kayak instructor and trained white water rescue guide for eNRG Kayaking, happened upon the scene and offered to help as more emergency vehicles and crew gathered. “Both were on a slippery log that was wedged in front of a rock. The depth in front was 4 to 5 feet deep where they were, but deeper in the eddy by the rock. The current was moving very fast, making rescue a bit tougher and was naturally flowing into a hazardous sweeper/strainer that had branches sticking every which way,” said Widmer. Widmer ferried across in a 2 person inflatable kayak first delivering the young women life vests, then using a rope technique he utilized their own raft to lower them through an eddy and onto a small island. From there he was The girls found themselves stranded on a small slippery able to take each, one by one, via Widmer’s kayak, back to safety at the shore. log surrounded by deep water and dangerous strainers.

Alyson was selected to lead the Santiam Canyon Community Chorus through a national search process.

Through the interview process she became a clear choice, both in the formal interview and the “hands on” director audition with the members of the Santiam Canyon Community Chorus .

Santiam Canyon School District 2014-15 Staff
Superintendent Miller addresses community on state of the schools Dear Santiam Canyon Residents, Back to school season is here! The schools have been quiet this summer, yet lots of thought and work have gone into making this year a successful one. I am pleased to announce several changes and additions to our schools to enhance our educational quality and experiences. First and foremost, we are adding some wonderful new staff members to our existing team. It is exciting to have these people join us: • Margo Williams- Elementary Assistant Principal, Special Education and ELL Director • Terry Avis- Junior/Senior High Math and Science Teacher • Shauna Simeral- First Grade Teacher • Cindy McMahan- Third Grade Teacher • Lindsay Sloan- Elementary Secretary • Bill Pennick- Custodian • Donda Warriner- Custodian • Imagean Thompson- Head Cook Our improved financial standing has allowed us to modestly add staff this year to decrease blended classes and add junior/senior high course options. Along with these local course options, we are also adding
online course options and college credit options for our students. It is an exciting transition as we leverage other partnerships to increase student opportunities. We are also adding electives and extra-curricular options, such as: cross country running, robotics classes and additional electives and core courses. We are also working closely with Hearts to Arts to bring a new vigor to our Pop Culture class for the Santiam Junior/Senior High students with the addition of an instrumental and vocally talented musician, Alyson Stewart. This will also include a new after-school music option for our elementary students. With empty buildings, we capitalized on this summer time to make some facilities improvements. Our gym floors have been resurfaced for the first time in years and all our buildings are having roof patch work done. The roofing work is not a permanent solution, yet will help us get through another winter. It has been wonderful to see the community support for our schools, as volunteers have come out to support our projects. The football field press box has been a huge success, funded and labored by volunteers and headed by football coach Brad Emmert. The
PTO, staff and students have been actively working around the schools and continuing to add to our wonderful new playground. Lastly, we have had some wonderful successes that could greatly contribute to our community and school district. The sale of the Gates property to Upward Bound is a mutual success, adding a great partner into our community and finding a user for the unused facility in Gates. They have been great to work with and we welcome them into our district. We were also selected by Oregon Connections Academy, the state’s largest online charter school, to begin talks about sponsoring them as a charter school starting in the 2015-16 school year. We are early in this process, but it gives another potential partnership for our district and students. We have working hard to improve our educational experiences for all our students. We value each and every student and look forward to a great year. Your support is appreciated as we enter this new school year together! Sincerely, Todd Miller Superintendent SCSD

Linn County Sheriff’s Office Police Log for Aug 24- Aug 28
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 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.
