Deputies recover three sunken boats in two days High wakes and submerged rocks cause a trio of vessels to go under last weekend at Detroit Lake
It was a busy weekend for Marion County Sheriff’s Marine Deputies. They’re used to dealing with the normal weekend boating and recreational activities at Detroit Lake, but last weekend was more than unusual as they helped recover three sunken vessels from the lake floor. All of the boats had sunk, in part, by the high wakes of other boaters. One of the boats had also hit some submerged rocks earlier that day, according to officials. The first boat was found on Saturday afternoon, when deputies came upon the bow of a 14’ Hydroswift boat about 200 feet from shore, by Detroit Lake Campground. The bow was the only part of the boat visible above water. It belongs to Jason Henry, 34, of Timber, Oregon, who didn’t realize that his boat had a leak until he and two friends were out on the lake. Once off shore, it became obvious that there was a hole in the hull when the
bilge started filling with water. The high wakes from other boaters didn’t help the situation. It began sinking. Turns out, the hole was made by submerged rocks while the boat was tied to its moorage. It was towed to shore, with the help of other boaters. The next morning, deputies came across another submerged boat near Mongold Boat Dock. This one was an older 16’ model, made of Fiberglas. Witnesses said the boat had been tied to rocks near the boat ramp for several days. Wakes from passing boats apparently sunk it. The boat’s gas can and the motor cover were floating nearby. It was last registered in 2004 to a Salem resident and was recovered from the lake and is being stored at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office until its current owner is found. Later Sunday afternoon, deputies were called to the Hoover arm of the lake to assist
with another sunken boat. There, they found a 1989 17’ Anza boat completely submerged in about 20’ of water. The owner, Doug Keil, of Stayton, told deputies he’d secured the boat with ropes at the bow and stern while he and his granddaughter camped overnight. Wakes from passing boats apparently swamped the boat, sinking it. Using pulleys, cables and the Sheriff’s Marine boat, the deputies and off-duty Sublimity Fire Chief were able to raise the boat to the surface. It was ultimately towed to the dock.

Cougar sited north of Mill City
Mark Thomas of Mill City was driving with his wife on the back roads just north of Mill City, when they had what they called a “very exciting” event last weekend. The two were on Hudel Rd (which connects to NE 4th in Mill City, off of Hwy 22) when they came across one of our local big cats crossing the road.
“About a mile from town a large cougar ran across the road in front us,” said Thomas. “We only saw it for about three seconds and didn’t get a photo.” The pair are often on the local back roads looking for wildlife to photograph, said Thomas. There have been no reports of a cougar harming people or wildlife in the area.

she could not answer and was referred to me. At that time, Ms. McCall came over to me and told me I should “reprimand” the City Recorder which I refused to do as I saw nor heard any reason to do so. In her letter, Ms. McCall states she was not “asking for some sort of disciplinary action”. I believe a reprimand could be considered such an action. Ms. McCall intimates in her letter that the public is not welcome in City Hall or at City Council meetings. Nothing could be further from the truth. All Council meetings are open to the public who are encouraged to attend and to sign up to speak on “items on the agenda” and “items not on the agenda” at the appropriate times. Mike Higgs, Mayor, City of Gates

Santiam Elementary and Jr/Sr High Schools welcomes you back
Students, staff and community volunteers continue to log in the volunteer manpower hours getting Mill City campuses into top shape by September 4, the first day of school. Students descended upon Santiam High School campus last week to pull weeds, plant flowers and spread bark dust. Some kids painted posters to hang on the school wall, welcoming their classmates, while others shucked corn preparing for their celebratory barbecue feast later that evening. “We had a great turn-out, these kids are really getting excited about the start of the new year,” said Caroline Gillaspy, the high
school activities coordinator, who also ensures each locker will have a personal welcome on it for each student. Meanwhile, over at the elementary school, the classrooms are coming to life as remnants of Gates Elementary are integrated, literally, into the walls. Classrooms are decorated with bright rugs and posters, the piles of boxes are shrinking and the teachers are breathing a bit deeper. “Many thanks to Arnie White and Glenn

Young students will be crossing for lunch and their safety is our highest concern.” There still are, and will be year round, opportunities to volunteer and make this year a productive and memorable one for all the students of the Santiam Canyon.

GENE’S MEAT MARKET
Alison Wood clears the high jump (above) and with her gold medal around her neck, and her two children, Caden, age 10, and Kyra, age 8, in London (right).
Local athlete takes the Gold in London 2012 While many of us were sitting in our chairs glued to the TV watching the 2012 Olympics, Alison Wood, a 39 year old mother of two and Regis High School track coach, was bringing home a gold medal of her own in London. Wood won the second ever Transatlantic Challenge women’s decathlon event and now holds the American record with a score of 4875. Wood achieved her personal best this year in the long jump with 16’1”. “The weather was awful, but I had a great tailwind,” she laughed. Alison Wood grew up in Newberg and was state champion in the high jump 1991. She still holds her high school record record of 5’7. She then went onto Western Oregon to study computer Sciences and to train under Berny
Wagner, the man who coached the legendary Dick Fosberry. “He was the best high jump coach in the US, so I knew I had to go there,” said Wood. Her current coaches include Don Radetich from OSU, Paul Wilson (vault coach) and Pete Vandemayle (throw coach). Most people might slow down after college, but Wood’s been competing ever since. Currently, she participates in the collegiate season as an open athlete in the division one level at the University of Oregon. After the season is over, she competes in the Masters Athlete division for those age 30 and over. Wood, who claims to have no talent in any other sport, lives in Sublimity with her husband and children and works her day job as an engineer for the State of Oregon, while coaching track in the afternoons.
