Gates Elementary gets new play structure
There’s one big change notable at Gates Elementary School this week, and it’s a BIG change. It’s a 72 foot x 40 foot completely covered outdoor play area with 14 feet of head room. “On rainy days the kids would have their recess in the old gym here,” said Brad Yates, the superintendent of the Santiam Canyon School District and the principal at Gates Elementary. “But it wasn’t safe. Any wetness at all on their shoes and (the kids) would be slipping all over the place. We’d have to basically walk the kids in circles.” Now the kids will have ample room to run, play wall ball and four square in the rain - thanks to grants obtained from the Oregon Foundation and the Frank Family Foundation. Their generosity fully funded the planning and construction of the play structure that will serve for generations to come. The plan is to be finished by this Friday, with a ribbon cutting ceremony to be announced soon. In other news at Gates School, fundraising continues with kids collecting Box Tops for Education and empty Capri Sun (and similar) juice pouches. The annual cookie dough fund raiser kicks off February 2, and See’s Candy will be available to purchase at the open house nights on Feb 7 and Feb 9. These seemingly small contributions quickly
add up, as the students have helped to earn the return of locally celebrated Kelly Thibodeaux, a professional fiddle player from Louisiana, who will teach every child in the school basic fiddle techniques. Last year’s program was so well received by students and parents alike that many kids chose to continue fiddle lessons throughout the year with local musicians.
Doctors descend on Detroit
Eugene physician to film documentary on health care in rural America
What’s Ideal Health Care? Is it a midnight house call? A doctor with a sense of humor? A community clinic just down the street? In a series of three events over three months, over 50 doctors from across the country will be coming to Detroit to hold town-hall type meetings with residents of the North Santiam Canyon. Not that they all are planning to more here,

and create it themselves. These doctors are taking part in a growing movement to personalize the face of modern medicine, and will be participating in filming a documentary featuring testimonials from the locals. A medical convention and a documentary being filmed in Detroit...Oregon? “Yes,” said Pamela L. Wible, MD the
executive producer of the documentary. She’s a board-certified family physician & pioneer in community-designed healthcare. She opened the first clinic in the United States designed entirely by patients in Eugene in 2005. Since then she has been sharing her vision nationwide, helping communities to create their own ideal clinics. (cont’d on page 12)

News from the North Santiam Snowmobile Club
We have lost another great member of our Snowmobile Community: Larry Riser, who passed away. He has been a snowmobiler in every way. Club member, OSSA member, groomer, mechanic and also a snowmobiler. He will be greatly missed in our community. Another month has come and gone. No snow. I have actually been thinking maybe I should ask Peggy if I could buy a snow machine. Or maybe we should just line the parking lot with cotton so we can at least take pictures. Harold Hills snow dances haven’t been working out either. Picture this he’s doing the snow dance in swimming trunks. I would really like to thank all of our Club Members for putting in so many hours preparing for this winter and no snow. Our Christmas pot luck dinner was a great success. We all know what it means in Detroit and Idanha when it comes to putting one on. We have some of the greatest cooks in the world, right here. You’re all missing out. If you haven’t come to one of our Club Meetings you should plan a trip. The lower parking lot parking diagram sign is ready for Club approval. Dave Shelton at White Water Signs has done another great job. We will have a sample at our next Club Meeting on January 21. Club calenders are in at all your Detroit and Idanha local stores or we will have them at the Club Meetings. Upcoming events: • January 16 - 21, 2012 OSSA Conven-
tion, Burns, Oregon • January 21st - Potluck Dinner/Monthly Meeting, 6:30pm Detroit City Hall. • Annual Paulina Trip, January 26 (Early Birds) One Day Early to Paulina, January 27-28 Paulina Trip (Club) • Feb 12, Valentines Club Breakfast 9am-noon; hosted by the Men of NSSC. • Feb 18-Potluck Dinner, and Monthly Meeting at 6:30pm Detroit City Hall.

Relay for Life 2012 kickoff party
January 18, 6:30pm at the Regis Student Center. Please join us! This is a great evening to gather with your team members, family and friends of the Stayton community for a wonderful evening! The kickoff will feature speakers that have won their fight, are fighting - or honoring those who have lost their life to cancer. Last year the Stayton area raised over $90,000 and we are off to a great fundraising start this year. We’re hoping to raise over $100,000 to support the Society’s mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and fighting back. This would be an excellent opportunity to get your team registered. There will also be opportunities to support other teams that will be fundraising at the event! We will see you there!

Girls Scout cookie sales begin
On your mark, get set, Cookies! They’re back! Local Girl Scouts and Brownies are out in force this week, with one thing in mind - bringing cookies to the masses. In addition to favorites like Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Samoas, a new lemony Savannah Smiles cookie is introduced this year to honor 100 years of Girl Scouting. Troops will be collecting cookie preorders from Jan 7 to Jan 17, with delivery on the weekend of Feb 11. Store front booth sales start Feb 17. We currently have two troops in the
North Santiam Canyon area (#10118 and #10102) with around 35 girls participating. Girl Scouts is a non-profit organization, and all monies earned from product sales go right back into the program (after the bakers are paid). The local troops earn and keep 65 cents per box to use for crafts, events and camp. All parents help is 100% volunteer. The cookie program helps girls develop 5 key business and leadership skills that last a lifetime. They are: people skills, goal setting, business ethics, decision-making and money management. The Scouts also support the C.H.O.C. A-LOT program (Cookies Helping Our Community). Any donated boxes of cookies are given to the local food bank. It’s another great way to support our local troops, even if New Year’s resolutions dictate “say no to cookies”. The scouts also can accept cash donations with 100% going directly to local troop activities. For more info on how to voluteer or donate: Jessica Wills at 503-897-2522 or Kathy Klagge at 503897-5112.

A moment in time: the Canyon in 1922 In 1922, a 20-member Bohemian brass band was organized (in Mill City). They played patriotic music very early in the morning on the Fourth of July every year for many years near the water tank on the hill north of town. Also in 1922, Freres Lumber Company was incorporated by T.G. Freres. Used with permission from “100 Years in the North Santiam Canyon” a publication of North Santiam Historical Society.

Local hunters have successful moose hunt in Alaska Four local friends took a trip last September - and came home with a few prize racks
By Michelle Gates
Lyons resident Dick Volten will soon have a new friend hanging on his wall, thanks to a successful moose hunting trip in Alaska last September. That’s when four friends took a two week long trip to the great northern state, landing about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage in the wilds near Illiamna, Alaska. Right now at home, Dick and Rosemary Volten have several friends on their wall, including an yet-unnamed elk, a caribou named Sly and a moose named Bullwinkle - who once stood at least 7 feet tall. The Volten’s had to renovate their living room to fit him in. The new moose, soon to be named The Boss, will hang right along side them when he gets home from taxidermist Don Spier, who also happened to be there when The Boss’s new life direction was decided. The four friends - Dick Volten of Lyons, Tony Silbernagel of Scio and Don Spier of Idanha - have been hunting this spot near lliamna, Alaska for years. Last September, they brought Eric Lulay of Salem with them. They like it because of a 50 foot,
8 mile long bank along the river, which gives them a great view of the sprawling wilderness - and the moose they go there to hunt. But it’s not an easy place to get to. The group has to fly in on a bush plane, then take a 50 mile, two day raft trip from Six Mile Lake down the Newhalen River. Once there, they have to find the moose - and keep their take Above (l to r): Eric Lulay of Salem, Dick Voltin of Lyons, from becoming breakfast who shot a moose with a 69” rack, Tony Silbernagel for the local bears, which of Scio, who shot a moose with a 69” rack and Don Spier of is what happened to Don Idanha, who shot a moose with 64” rack.

That’s because the native people have developed a partnership with the visiting hunters and often make use of the meat that’s too expensive to ship home. “People up there are getting to where they enjoy and appreciate it,” said Dick Volten. “They don’t waste it.” This year alone, the

Obituaries Robert Bernard Bartges
May 22, 1963 – Dec 10, 2011
Aug 16, 1923 - Jan 5, 2012 Beloved husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, and a loyal friend to many. Robert Bernard Bartges was born August 16, 1923 and died on Thursday, January 5, 2012 after recently being diagnosed with lymphoma. He was 88. Bob lived life with a great interest in other people. Bob’s faith deepened his love and care for others. He had a great love for the outdoors and shared that with his family, as well as those across several generations who shared the same interests. Bob’s influence encouraged us to take time to enjoy the hidden beauties in the outdoors; the flowers blooming, and the things to be noticed along a mountain path. His generosity with his time, and his keen interest in sharing everything he enjoyed with family and friends, will be sorely missed Bob was born in Salem and attended Salem High School. He enlisted in the army and served in New Guinea, the Philippine’s and Japan. After returning from World War II, he married Edna Collins. They were married 52 years, until her death in 1998. He worked over 35 years for the Oregon State Highway Department (now ODOT). Later Bob married Mariann Bither, whom he had known since childhood. He moved to Tigard where he and
Mariann together enjoyed the last 13 years of his life. Bob counted many people he met those last years in the Portland area as special friends. Bob loved music, which he shared singing with Edna and his family and friends. He often played the violin, piano, or autoharp when he sang. He wrote songs and poems specifically about different experiences he had. He loved to give people nicknames, which would often depict something they liked to do, or some characteristic about them. He had some nicknames for himself, including “Cold River Bob” and “The Bald Eagle.” Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Warren & Nettie Bartges, his sisters Velma Bartges and Vivian Nichols; brother Warren (Gene) Bartges. He is survived by his wife, Mariann (Bither) Bartges, his daughter’s Deborah Mosman (Rod) and Caroline Gillaspy (Jerry); stepson’s Scott Bither (Dore) and Randy Bither (Karla), 10 grandchildren: Marya Davies, Derick, Rory, & Ramey Mosman, Libby, Nettie, & Amy Gillaspy, Annie Munger, Malia Miller, Kyra Ziniker, and 17 great-grandchildren Services will be held at the Keizer Community Center on Saturday, January 14 at 10:30 a.m. A potluck will follow the service, with a graveside service at 2:30 p.m. at Belcrest Cemetery.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report January 11, 2012 503-897-3301
Because of the floods two weeks ago, Detroit Lake has been releasing some of the high water that was held back for flood control. North Santiam River flow remains higher than usual, and is now 24 feet above the low Winter level. The present flow levels have caused the Lake to drop a couple of feet per day, so if the rainfall stays at a low level, things may be back to normal in a week and a half. The river color has improved and there is now around a foot of visibility in many of the drifts. River temperature is still quite cold, but it is warming up slowly. Packsaddle temperature is now around 41 degrees. Generally, the steelhead start to move upstream in big numbers when the temp gets up to 50 degrees, but we still get some good days for fish passage at lower temperatures. The natural timing of the run is also important. The North Santiam offers the most native steelhead and miles of interesting whitewater. The most significant snow gauge for the North Santiam is at Little Meadows, East of Monument Peak and less than a mile South of Detroit Lake. Last year, we had 48 inches of snow at this time, and this year, we have 14 inches. We have weeks of snow season remaining, but the agency people will be looking closely at the snowpack levels to make sure that Detroit Lake will fill completely by the first of May.

“Most medical conventions are held in fancy hotels, where doctors socialize, sipping on wine and carrying on intellectual discussion, miles apart from the people they serve. So we’re actually having America’s doctors come to you. These are board certified physicians of all types coming to connect with real people on a real level, they are coming to learn from you (the locals) what it is that people in rural America want for healthcare.” Why a documentary? “In America we lose a doctor a day to suicide; 60% of doctors want to quit while patients continue to suffer. We can’t wait for politician saviors. Health-
care Of, By, and For The People demonstrates how citizens are bypassing partisan discord by redesigning healthcare from the bottom up.” The three part series begins in less than two weeks- Jan. 21-22 (public invited, free of charge) Saturday, Jan. 21, 6:30 pm, Korner Post ~ Meet doctors & film crew, then off to the Cowboy Thanksgiving. Sunday, Jan. 22, 10:00 am, The Cedars ~ Breakfast with doctors & film Crew.
