By Michelle Gates The professional wrestling event this Sat-urday night at Mari-Linn school is draw-ing fans from across the valley, and they’re coming here to see the stars that they usu-ally only get to see on TV. “WWE style wrestling is about as redneck as you can get,” said adrenaline junkie and wrestling fan Ron Dillion from Scio. “I love it....I’ve been watching these guys for years, and I bought my tickets so I can meet them in person.” Dillion said he bought the front row seats because he “wants to get the best view of the blow off.” The blow off is the final match of a feud. He also loves that he can bring

his kids, and give them a chance to meet the stars that he’s watched on TV. Plus, he said, “it gives my kids a reason to scream, and I can teach them who the good guys are.” But this time, the good guys might be hard to pick out. With so many competitors, it’s anybody’s guess who will win over the crowd, and who will take a beating. Two of those veteran performers come from very widely known backgrounds: model/wres-tler Shelley Martinez and former Mr. USA Tony Atlas. Both have starred in WWE matches. And both are coming for a title. The professional wrestling event is return-ing for the third time this year on Saturday,

November 2 from 6pm-8pm at Mari-Linn School Gym in Lyons. It’s all in the name of raising money for this kids. Proceeds will benefit the student ASB account. Spon-sors include Santiam Towing and Recovery, Freres Lumber Co., and other local busi-nesses. Tickets are $5 for general admission, $10 front row & $7 second row; purchase with cash or check at Mehama True Value or online with a credit card at www.Stay-tonEvents.com. Front and second row tick-ets are limited and selling out, so pre-pur-chase is recommended for best seats.

Lady Wolverine Volleyball advances to State Playoffsunderdog team hits their stride mid-season and keeps on improving each game

Most of the 2013 Santiam Wolverine Volleyball Team and their coaches taking a quick break between drill for a photo op.

After a bit of a rocky start to the season, the Lady Wolverine volley-ball team has found their smooth play through a practice of dedica-tion to themselves and their teammates. “Half way through the season something just clicked for them and they started to play really well,” said Coach Alicia Boyd. “They re-alized that volleyball is not only a physical game but a mental game as well. It’s about staying positive, doing your best, and encouraging each other.” Teaching to play for the sake of the game paid off for coach Boyd. The girls quickly rose in rank in the 2a-3 Tri-River Conference league, grasping the 16th seat in the state. This is the first time Santiam has sent a volleyball team to the state playoffs in ten years. They are scheduled to play top ranked Weston-McEwen in Pendleton this Saturday evening. “They’re getting better and better each game, and each time I ask if that was their best possible game,” said Boyd.Here’s to the best game of the season yet to come! Good luck Girls!!

By Michelle Gates Lyons Timbertown Resale re-opened their doors last week, and the new owners are clearing out the tools and other house-hold items, said Noal Hardman of Lyons. The business closed earlier this summer due to an illness in the former owner’s fam-ily. It used to be run by Dave and Mary Ahlquist, until Mary passed away sud-denly. “It was Dave and Mary’s baby. Just something for them to do. But when she passed away, Dave just wasn’t interested in doing it anymore. It just had too many memories for him,” said Noal Hardman. So Hardman and his business partner, Scott Olson of Mehama, purchased the inventory and took over the remainder of the year long lease on the building last week, with the goal of revamping it into a higher end antique shop with online sales. Noal said that Dave came knocking on his front door a short while ago, and asked him if he wanted to buy the business. And it turns out that he did - and that Noal had

wanted to do so since 2007, because “I’m just sitting around doing nothing.” The resale shop has been known for the past few years as the place to find whatev-er you might need, but the new focus will be on higher end merchandise. “I love

antiques. I want the front to be a place that people can look in and enjoy,” said Hardman. He said that his family will help him decorate the front lobby, and that he’s bringing in a professional from Portland to decorate the Christmas tree. The official grand opening will be held sometime be-fore Christmas, and Hardman invites anyone to stop in a

have a cup of coffee. Right now, they’re clearing out merchandise and no reason-able offer will be refused. They want to get rid of the tools, and books are priced at 5 for $1.00. And some books are free. The new hours are Wed-Mon from 10am-5pm, closed Tuesday at 1313 Main St., Lyons or www.facebook.com/Tim-bertownResale.

How to keep crime out of our communities? Get involved!

Thirty people attended the first two Neigh-borhood Watch meetings for Mill City in October. Linn County liaison, Jim Lepin was on hand answering questions, giving advice and presenting a six month crime re-port for the city. Lepin stressed that in order for a town to get cleaned up from crime, citizens must get involved. So far there are four groups look-ing to form watches in specific neighbor-hoods in Mill City.One of these is spearheaded by Elaina Tur-pin of SW 3rd Ave. Here what she has to say about why she is getting involved.“My street has been the first one to insti-tute the Neighborhood Watch so far. On my street myself and Jill Cohen are the watch leaders. We live down the street directly be-hind the nail salon that burned down. I think the fact that it was an act of arson really catalyzed us into action. Our street is pretty close, we know the each other by name and will stop and chat with each other. But that didn’t stop someone from coming in and setting fire to a business on our street. By starting a neighborhood watch we are com-mitting to each other that we will watch out for each other, that we stand vigilant. I hope that with the community Neigh-borhood Watch meetings other streets and

blocks will start up their own. Just like any town, there are great people, and not so great people. But I think that the good ones outweigh the bad. We just need to stand up and watch out for each other. I have a note on my desk that reads “A community worth living in is a community worth improving.” It’s the involvement of the community in things like Neighborhood Watch that make our town a great place to live and raise a family.” The next neighborhood watch meetings will be held on Wednesday, November 6 and Tuesday, November 19 at 7pm at Mill City City Hall

If Yoga is the answer then what is the question?

By Jahn Hoover Stress, stress and more stress in our daily lives, particularly around holidays! At this time of year when the food and par-ties begin, we find ourselves under more stress trying to fit everything in. Due to the increase in stress the brain begins to produce more cortisol so that when we eat the calorie laden foods that are offered dur-ing the holidays we can really put on weight quickly. Cortisol has the effect of keeping us in a fight or flight state and increasing belly fat. In response to this time of year and many requests, DownWard Dog Yoga announces more opportunities to melt stress away and

teach methods of turning the cortisol vol-ume down. Get ahead of the holidays with Flow Yoga Classes designed to increase flexibility, strength and relaxation. These classes are offered at the beautiful Gates Fire Hall and the new times are Tuesdays at 9AM, Wednesdays at 6:30 and Thursdays at 9AM. This new schedule will begin on November 5, 2013. Namaste!

Mill City Skatepark

All interested people, both young and not so young, are invited to come. A set of potential plans depicting the park will be available at Mill City City Hall for viewing and comment. Donations for the park are being accepted at City Hall as well. To join in the conversation visit online: Mill City Skatepark Project on Facebook.

I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work,

the more I have of it.

The Santiam Wolverine football team traveled last Friday to Chemawa for a 46-0 win. With high expectations followed by a good week of practice the wolverines were well prepped for the game. The game started off fast with running back Chris Smith punch-ing in the first touchdown early in the first quarter followed up by a second Wolverine touchdown by Carlos Delacruz with a total of 95 rushing yards. Austin Whitmire caught the a touchdown pass for Riley Nicot (8 for 11 in passing for 115yds) for the Wolverine’s 3rd touchdown, leaving the game at 21-0 at halftime. Coming out for the 2nd half Chris Smith ran for 3 more touchdowns,making 4 total, and a total of 206 yards in 21 carries making a 9.8 yd average. Cody Quinton punched the ball in for the Wolverines last score of the night in the fourth quarter. Santiam’s defense held solid the entire game allowing only two first downs and lost less than 70 yards. “I was really proud of the way that our kids came out physical and aggressive. We played hard for four quarters, and all of our players got a decent amount of playing time,” said Coach Brad Emmert. The Wolverines will be playing their last game of the season this Friday night, 7pm at Kennedy High School in Mt. Angel. Good Luck Team!

A Woodburn man received minor injuries Wednesday morning after the truck he was driving towing two trailers loaded with hay crashed off Highway 22 east of Detroit and came to rest partially in the Santiam River. Early Wednesday morning a truck pulling two trailers loaded with hay bales driven by Mark Hess of Woodburn, was traveling westbound on Highway 22 near milepost 59 negotiating a curve when the hay bales on one of the trailers shifted to the left. The load shift contributed to Hess losing control as the truck and two trailers crossed the eastbound lane and off the eastbound shoul-der onto large boulders. The truck came to rest partially in the river and the hay bales spilled along the riverbank and highway shoulder. Hess was treated by medics and remained at the scene. He was cited by Oregon State Police for Leaking/Sifting Load. OSP was assisted at the scene by ODOT. Workers were expect-ed at the scene to remove the spilled load and vehicles.

Shifting load lands trailers full of hay in

The Steller’s Jay is unmistakable and easy to see at this time of year, swooping in and above the trees—a flash of cobalt blue and black. It is found throughout most of Oregon except the southeast. Fun fact: this species is a great mimic of other birds, squirrels, cats and dogs and even mechanical sounds such as telephones and water sprinklers. It especially likes to mimic red-tailed hawks.
