The Santiam Wyldlife Club has an ambi-tious mission to accomplish. The goal is to raise enough money to get all 40 club mem-bers, grades 6-8 to summer camp which is scheduled for June 20-24. Seven groups of students, leaders and other community volunteers will run the actual distance from Mill City to the Creekside Wyldlife Camp in Antelope, by doing laps around the Santiam Track in Mill City. This virtual “road race” will be divided up into legs: Group 1: Mill City to Detroit,

Group 2: Detroit to Hoodoo, Group 3: Hoodoo to Sisters, Group 4: Sisters to Redmond, Group 5: Redmond to Madras, Group 6: Madras to Antelope, Group 7: An-telope to Creekside Wyldlife Camp. In all the teams will be covering the entire approximate 173 miles between home and summer camp. The runners will be seeking donations for the various distances they will be running (from 2 - 6 miles) and every penny will go towards paying for camp tuition which is

$250 per student.“We could use about ten more runners to gather donations and join us on Saturday morning, “ said Bob Zauner, one of the Wyldlife local advisors. You can join this “Wyld” bunch this Satur-day, June 1st, 9:30am -12 noon at the Santi-am Track just west of the elementary school on Evergreen St. in Mill City.

For more information or to donate please contact Bob Zauner at 503-507-2895.

The Sun Shines on Canyon Arts Festival !

Their goal is to raise $5000 for summer camp for 40 local students

The only break from the down pours on Memorial Day weekend blesses the gathering in Mill CityAn eclectic group of artisians, craftsmen and musicians gathered in Mill City this past Saturday for the 4th annual Canyon Arts Festival to share in the celebration of creativity. Fine art, metal craft, pottery, jewelry, woodcarving and photography filled the grounds of Santiam Elementary while a steady stream of music and stage performance took place outside under cover, in case the rain decided to fall. This year an indoor kids carnival of games and crafts kept the young ones more than entertained throughout the day and an exhibit by the local remote controlled air craft club, the Cloud Clippers stole the attention of kids of all ages “I was very pleased with the festival this year. I am grateful to all the vol-unteers and the H2A board and project champions as well. They worked very hard to make the festival a success. Even the weather worked out great! We will begin planning for next year’s event--our 5th!--at our next regular meeting, Satur-day June 1 at Mill City’s City Hall from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. We welcome any-one who is interested in joining us!” said Santiam Hearts to Arts president, Sheila Hoover. More photos page 6

Veteran SCSD Scool board member gives insight into creating a positive outlook for future

To The Editor: The interim superintendent Dr. Brian Gander has had to make some tough decisions regarding the school district budget this year. While some can rightfully question his choices, I think others are very mis-guided in their assessment of his mo-tives. To suggest, as some have, that he is doing this to intentionally harm the community because we didn’t re-new his contract is irresponsible, and just not true. While his choice of words during a discussion of the WWFY pro-gram were unfortunate and don’t reflect the majority opinion, I think perpetuat-ing a conversation based solely on this remark is an exercise in negativity and will not get this community moving forward in a positive direction. Regardless of people’s personal opin-ion of Dr. Gander he is not responsible for the sorry lack of educational fund-ing in this state, or the declining econo-my which partly precipitated declining enrollment or the problems he inherited that were intrinsic to this district. When faced with diversity we need not look for someone to blame. Let’s look for solutions and lessons learned to move forward and become a stronger more vi-brant and positive district. We have the basics of a budget that will allow us to provide an education for

our students next year. We have a newly formed and functioning PTO and for the first time in years we have a groundswell of people attending school board and budget meetings. Let’s focus our ener-gies on these positive aspects and move forward. We will have a new board and a new Superintendent next month. Let’s, as a community, give them our support, understanding and patience. These are tough times for education everywhere. Let’s show our community courage and tackle our districts educa-tional and financial dilemmas with vi-sion rather than continue to blame and disparage. To be perfectly honest if anyone is to blame it is me. As a 25 year member of the board it is my lack of oversight and misguided trust over the years that are partly responsible for some of the dilemmas. While a spoonful of sugar might have helped some of this medicine go down it none the less had to be taken. I read-ily acknowledge my shortcomings as a board member but I’m also optimistic about the future because of the increased dialogue that has taken place in the past few years on this page and elsewhere. We can work it out. Arnie WhiteGates

Correction on SCSD board election resultsLast week we incorrectly reported that only 478 votes were cast in the latest election which chose a new school board for the Santiam Canyon School District. We now understand the results printed were for the Linn County voters only. There was an ad-ditional 242 ballots were cast from the Marion County voters as well. The outcome of the election does not change, however, with the incumbants as previously reported. The new board is comprised of Yvonne Hanna, Angie Fencl, Rich Moore, Jeremy Tinney and Alicia Corey

Joseph’s Storehouse of Hope in Mehama is named after Joseph Jacob’s son from the Bible,who was instrumental in saving Egypt from famine. He was able to organize and stockpile, creating an abundance for 7 years that fed the known world. Started in December, 2010 the storehouse in Mehama has not reached such lofty goals, but they have come a long way in keep-ing the cupboards of the North Santiam Canyon full. According to Troy Gulstrom, one of the volunteer coordina-tors for the project, Joseph’s storehouse of hope is a cooperation of Mehama Community Church, Canyon Bible Fellowship, San-tiam Chapel , the people of Lyons and Mehama and the Mari-Linn School. It is located on a property owned by Darrel and Veleta Boedigheimer of Mehama who dedicated half of their shop area for that purpose, and Mari Linn hosts the distribution site from the gymnasium one Saturday a month. Recently the group was able to build a 14x16 foot walk-in freez-er, and purchase a forklift and back-up generator there thanks to grants from the Oregon Food Bank and Marion /Polk Food Share totalling $6,000, a Maybelle Clark McDonald Fund grant for $9,600 and over $4,500 from private donations from the Lyons/Mehama community. Right now the storehouse serves about 200 households a month from Lyons, Mehama, Detroit and Idanha. Most of the food comes from the Marion/Polk Food Share, and recently Bruce-Pac from Woodburn donated 10,000 pounds of frozen meat, and filled the freezer up. The meat arrived in bulk however, so Steve Giesy of Gene’s Meat Market in Mehama stepped in and donated the use of a packaging unit. “It’s just great to see how the community comes together to make

this happen,” said Gulstrom. There still are expenses when giving away free food, he adds. Community members are invited to consider “adopting a house-hold” to help cover the ongoing expenses of electricity, delivery fuel and insurance etc. Total operating expenses are between $600-$1,000 a month. A suggested donation of $50/year will in essence cover the expenses of an entire household.“Some have said you’re just enabling people, but the majority of people we serve we are offering a hand up, that’s what we do,” said Gulstrom.For more information or to volunteer you can contact Troy Gulstrom at 503-881-9846.

Garden starts and seeds available for purchase with SNAP programSTAYTON — After three years of trying to obtain approval to participate in Oregon’s “SNAP” (Supplemental Nutrition Assis-tance Program) program, Fresh to You Pro-duce & Garden Center has been accepted as an official SNAP vendor. This means that Fresh to You can accept the Oregon Trail Card, also known as the SNAP or EBT card. This card is good for any of Fresh to You’s food products, fresh produce from the store, produce starts for the customer’s garden and vegetable and fruit seeds. An Oregon Trail Card (OT Card) is an

Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and is similar to a debit card from a bank. It is what the Department of Human Services uses to get benefits to its clients. OT Cards are used mostly for food benefits from the SNAP program, formerly known as Food Stamps. The OT Card may be used to purchase any foods at Fresh to You, including their fresh, healthy array of fruits, berries and vegetables. Customers may also purchase vegetable seeds and starts with their OT Card, which is a revolutionary concept to many. “The fact that people who use an Or-egon Trail Card do not have to be limited to packaged, processed foods and can now even purchase seeds and starts for their gar-dens at home is absolutely inspiring to me,” says Fresh to You owner Nancy Hendricks.

“We have wanted this for so long and we’re thrilled to now tell the community, ‘Yes, we can accept Food Stamps! Come on in!’” Fresh to You carries the locally-made Umpqua Dairy and Willamette Valley Cheese products, as well. Their specialty foods including cheeses, salsa, salad dress-ings, pasta sauces, mustards and crackers may also be purchased with through the SNAP program. “What we love to do is help our custom-ers learn about how to grow things, how to plant a garden and how to prepare healthy food. We offer cooking suggestions and recipes, as well. Now that we can accept the Oregon Trail Card, we feel like we are doing a better job of fulfilling our mission to reach the community with all things ed-ible,” says Hendricks.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Concerned about the decline of honeybees, one of the hardest-working food crop pollinators? Don’t overlook the importance of a native polli-nator of your fruit trees – the blue orchard mason bee.“The diversity of flowers requires a diver-sity of pollinators,” said George Hoffman, entomology researcher in Oregon State University’s Department of Crop and Soil Science. “Also, if one disease affects one pollinator, it doesn’t necessarily affect the others. Gardens need a diversity of pol-linators so one disease or parasite won’t wipe out all its pollinators.” Blue orchard mason bees are early-season pollinators native to Oregon, Washington and California, actively pollinating fruit trees in the wet and cold months of March and April. The mason bee, which has one generation a year, is slightly larger than a honeybee and shiny dark blue in color. Research done by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Ser-vice Logan Bee Lab at Utah State Univer-sity shows that blue orchard mason bees are superior to honeybees when it comes to pollinating apples, cherries and other native fruit trees in wet, cold conditions, Hoffman said. But if conditions are warm and favorable, mason bees and honeybees are equally effective. Marking another difference between the two species, honeybees organize into colo-nies of worker bees led by a queen, where-as each mason bee female collects her own pollen and nectar and produces eggs.“Each female is an independent operator,” Hoffman said. “They don’t have the luxury of waiting for better weather, or another year to reproduce.” Once mason bees emerge from their nests in March, they mate and consume pollen and nectar. For their nest, they find cavities in wood, such as beetle exit holes or arti-ficial nests. Within the cavities they build

five to eight cells separated by mud. They fill each cell with food on which they lay a single egg. The food source is a mixture of pollen and nectar formed into a little ball. In late May and June, larvae develop inside the cells and metamorphose into pupae in the summer. They emerge from the pupal stage as adults in the fall and overwinter inside their cocoons. Hoffman advises people to order live ma-son bees in cocoons online from commer-cial suppliers in October and November so they can arrive before Christmas. Start with 10-20 mason bee females, which means buying 30-60 cocoons. Mason bee females produce about two males for every f ema le . It is the females w h o do the work of g a t h e r -ing nec-tar and p o l l e n and pol-l inating flowers. L e a v e the co-coons in the origi-nal pack-a g i n g and store t h e m in the r e f r i g -e r a t o r until it’s time to r e l e a s e t h e m n e x t spring.

One decision you need to make is what type of nest to provide, Hoffman said. The choices generally are Phragmite reeds, tubes with straw liners or wooden blocks with drilled holes. Drill holes into a sol-id or laminated wood, five-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, six inches deep and three-fourths of an inch apart. In the spring the nests need to be protected from wind and rain by a nest box. When fruit trees start to bloom next spring, mount the nest box on a fence about 10-15 feet away from the fruit trees and watch brand-new adults emerge, Hoffman said.

Snow and rain at high el-evations make the North San-tiam River quite high this week and into the weekend. Trips from Pack- saddle will have big waves and whirlpools that can swallow small boats. Trips from Fishermen’s Bend, Me-hama, Stayton, Shelburn, or Green’s Bridge will have fast water with medium and large waves but there are safe routes through them. The Learn the River Trip from Fishermen’s Bend to Mehama on Saturday, June 1 can still proceed, but the river will be fast and boaters will learn about boat ramps and access points but will not learn about low water fishing drifts. Some of

us will be at Fishermen’s Bend ready to run the river at 10:00 a.m. but if people decide to delay the trip because of high water we will reschedule it. Please call for more info—503 949 1549.

Mill City 4th of July Committee would like to announce the winners of the 4th of July theme and button contests. The com-mittee feels very strongly about trying to involve all members of the community in the 4th of July planning process, espe-cially our youth. This year the committee challenged the Santiam High School students to submit ideas for a theme and describe what the 4th of July means to them. Harley David-son was chosen by the committee as the winner of this contest. Let Freedom Ring! is the theme for the 2013 festival.

Harley is a junior at Santiam Junior Se-nior High. She is active in both volleyball and basketball. Santiam Elementary School’s 4th grade and the blended 4th and 5th grade classes tackled designing a button for the 4th of July. Hannah Gerdes was chosen as the winner. Hannah’s design will be made into buttons and those buttons will be sold to raise funds for the 4th of July. The committee would like to thank all the students that participated and also the persons responsible for donating the prizes.

By Michelle Gates If “quack quack” and “woof” are staples in your vocabulary, you might be interest-ed in one of the fine art prints up for auc-tion in Detroit. Thanks to a generous donation from Jesse O’Dell of J&H Real Estate in Me-hama, the Idanha-Detroit Fire Department has another avenue for raising funds this year. They’re doing it by silent auction - where anyone can bid on the two outdoor inspired, signed prints, which previously had been “just hanging around” O’Dell’s house. O’Dell brought them back into the light when he heard about the group’s fundrais-ing efforts. “I go up to Detroit Lake all the time, and it’s nice to know that the emer-gency responders are there,” said O’Dell. The black Labrador inspired print “Trou-ble at Graylodge” was one of the first lith-ographs in artist Joanne Graham’s series, while “Resting Place-Black Ducks” was

part of a nature series by artist Tony Bi-anco, who was also chosen to design the Canadian millennium two-dollar coin. Both prints are up for show at the newly opened Detroit Lake Bistro, next to the Lodge at Detroit Lake. The Bistro recently re-opened on May 24 and currently serves breakfast and lunch. They’re working on their full dinner plates and organizing live entertainment on the weekends, said owner Laddie Woods. “We put out a fine plate of food,” said Woods, and they’re ready to show their community support at the same time by showcasing the donated prints for the next two weeks. Then the silent auction bid box will be opened, and the winner announced. The fire department is happy to accept all bids and offer the recipient and tax-de-ductible receipt. “We really appreciate the donation,” said Fire Chief Jim Trett.
