You either love it or hate it - professional wrestling, done WWE-style, can cause emo-tional reactions from those who thinks it’s fake, or die-hard love from those who revel in its ex-citement and showmanship. At the event last Saturday, it was obvious that showmanship

won over a few hearts. “We’re getting rave reviews from the com-munity,” said Mari-Linn Principal Jeri Loftus. For two hours, semi-clad, muscle bound men from West Coast Wrestling Connection put on a show for the crowd at the

school gym, with some serious high-flying wrestling moves worked into a performance full of rivalry and antics.

From the start, it was obvious that the primping, cross-dress-ing “Gorgeous” Michelle Starr would become

local groupsSchool fundraiser brings performance wrestling for a night of antics and fun

The guys from West Coast Wrestling Connection worked the packed house at Mari-Linn School with some serious moves, and antics designed to get

the crowd going. The crowd happily obliged.

Theater Outreach is back in town, and their intrepid director, David Berrier is back doing his magic as he brings togeth-er both local student and adult actors for a unique musical rendition of Sleeping Beauty. Thanks in part to Santiam Hearts to Arts, Theater Outreach was able to form its first ever partnership with a school district, to organize and operate a full-

fledged drama program, and they chose Santiam. They began their auditions and started rehearsals back in September, and have been holding four hour long practices on Fridays ever since to accommodate the schedules of the student actors. “We have many terrific singers, both girls and boys. Though the music is challenging, the students

City of Lyons swears in new council, planning members

City welcomes new Mayor Dan Burroughs, while contentions persist within council stemming from water district issues in 2011

The City of Lyons officially has two new members on city council, and welcomes former council member Dan Burroughs as the new mayor. Resident Steve Baldwin was also sworn in as a new member of the Lyons Planning Commission. Baldwin’s term will be determined by lottery at the next council meeting. Mayor Burroughs, and new council members Gary Alkire and Mark Orr, were elect-ed last November and were sworn in January 3 at a special meeting at Lyons City Hall. There, the new council nominated and elected Gary Alkire to serve as Mayor Pro-tem, who will perform the mayoral duties when Burroughs cannot. But contentions with this council could prove imminent. City of Lyons attorney Steve Tabor was called in to remind the city government of the council rules, in-cluding “It’s the council as a body that represents the city. You have no individual authority; decisions must be made by the (council) body.” New council member Mark Orr made a point to ask the attorney if his name had been mentioned when the city requested Tabor’s presence, perhaps because of Orr’s documented harrassment of city staff since the city’s participation in the failed Lyons-Mehama Water Board recall in 2011. Mark Orr also asked about additional charges incurred by the city for the attor-ney’s trip. There were none. But city attorney Steve Tabor also made a point to tell the city council that they have a program should the city “ever want to take action” against city staff. Earlier this year, employee Tami Ow-ens resigned based on “allegations...re-garding the elections packets, the lack of respect from certain citizens and Council Member, and the questioning of my in-tegrity.” But Mayor Burroughs stated at the meeting that he “was called weeks ago by (city staff) - they thought for sure that (the city) had hired someone else.” No staff changes are known at this time.

the character that every-one loved to hate, while his counter-charac-ter Cousin Larry danced around in his over-alls as the final victor of the event. Other characters were fast favorites, like Latino Blanco, a short but charismatic and costumed sombrero wearing wrestler, who had the crowd laughing in no time flat as he battled (and won) against a much bigger

opponent. The Professional Wrestling event was a fundraiser for Mari-Linn School and the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce, and raised about $1,000 for the two groups com-bined. Special thanks to organizers Michelle Gates, Micah Keto & Sandy Lyness from the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce

and Mari-Linn School Principal Jeri Loftus (plus student and staff helpers), plus spon-sors: Lyons Heating and Cooling, Knight Vision Security, The Canyon Weekly, Me-hama True Value, Mehama NAPA Auto Parts, Your Country Kitchen, Micah & Jeff Keto, Powell Butte - and Doug Miller & the City of Lyons for coordinating the use of their chairs.

The Santiam Heart to Arts (H2A) folks have hit the ground running this new year and have lots of events lining up for 2013. The group met this past Saturday, filling the meeting room at Mill City City Hall with laughter and ideas, fu-eled by giant boxes of scones from Rosie’s Mt. Coffee House. Re-energized with new leadership and a new board of directors the team has set to task bringing interactive and participatory arts events to the North Santiam Canyon every month in the first half of the year. This month H2A sponsors the Theater Outreach Production for Sleeping Beauty at Santiam Auditorium as well as celebrates their own 5th year anniversary. In February they will present a new event, the Mid-Win-ter Festival with a Circus Arts Workshop and a chance to perform on stage with mas-ter juggler/clown Chris Corrado. Missoula Children’s Theater returns in March, and the

Spring Awakening stage production at San-tiam Auditorium is planned for April. Their signature event, the Canyon Arts Festival (CAF), a day when the town of Mill

City explodes with art, is slat-ed for May 25. Each year volunteer ac-tors take on the personas of famous artists from through-out time. Visi-tors to the fes-tival are given

a “passport”, and pass through time meeting each of the artists and learning about their techniques, their lives and their inspirations. You meet these artists while visit-ing the different sections of the CAF:

the Children’s carnival of puppet shows, jugglers,magicians and spin art bikes; the Fine Art Gallery where local artist show not only their finished works, but create on the spot; the Crafts Show full of quality hand made items and the Literary Corner where poetry workshops and readings take place throughout the day.

This year’s Canyon Arts Festival theme “River’s of Art” was unanimously chosen by the H2A team after being suggested by Ken Cartwright via their Facebook page. The team is now seeking artists interested in being chosen as the featured artist for the festival. The featured artist would create an original work at a 2:3 ratio, that depicts the theme. He or she would have the honor of having their work grace the cover of the 2013 CAF program as well as having the potential for it to be made into promotional posters and would have top billing at the art event. Other artists and craftspeople wanting to display and sell their works at either the CAF Fine Art Gallery or the arts/ and crafts encouraged to apply for their booth space soon as well. Space for the May 25th event will be $10 (10’x10’) if paid prior to May 18. May 19-24 th cost will be $15. To inquire about art opportunities or to learn more email [email protected] or call Paul Mosby, Artist Liaison at 503 897-3918, craft vendors and food vendors interested in booth space for the Canyon Arts Festival please contact Joyce Trout at 503 897-3116. Food vendors are strongly encouraged to apply as this is a great fund-raising opportunity .

Rain and snow have complicated river running schedules recently. That is not unusual this time of year, when we have alternating rain, snow, and temperatures along with a few dry days. Last minute changes to schedules were necessary and fore-casts were only accurate for short periods of time. River temperature going into De-troit Lake was around 39 degrees the last few days, and was about the same coming out of Detroit. By the time the water got down to Green’s Bridge, it had only warmed up two degrees to around 41. At the dam, some water from the top of the lake is released and some from the lower levels. The temperature is balanced by using the mix of strata. People on the river below Packsaddle may no-tice the fluctuation while the mixing occurs. Fish don’t move much in the very cold water and they try to find the warmest places possible. Some tributaries have warmer water, and the mouths are likely places to find steelhead. All sections of the North Santiam are navigable between Packsaddle Park and the Willamette River. The upper sections have excellent white-water, and the lower sections have riffles and tranquility. Both scenic trips and fishing trips are of inter-est to some outdoor oriented people who have warm jackets and good

raingear. Other people are making plans for trips to the river in warmer and drier weather. Steelheaders Salem Chapter meets on January 15 with a guide program by Curt Currey at 7:00 p.m. at Keiz-er Community Center. North Santiam River Guides Asso-ciation has their annual banquet on January 19 at Gates Fire Hall. It is a catered dinner, and reservations are needed. Bob Lusk, Chap Milbank, and Mike Ferris will take rsvp’s. Guests are welcome. Old fishing movies will be shown. The same group will meet again on Wednes-day, January 23 at 6:00 p.m. at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aumsville with Karen Hans from Fish and Wildlife. We will discuss boat ramp improve-ment at Packsaddle and other habi-tat improvement projects. She needs input so she can use the information with her grant proposals and permit application. Other current fishing information may be exchanged. The next NSRGA meeting is on Feb 27. Steelheaders Salem Chapter Board meets on February 6, and the general membership meeting is on Feb 19. The series of “Learn the River” trips starts with the run from Green’s Bridge to I-5 Santiam Rest Stop on March 2. Boaters may follow our ex-perienced leaders and learn the river in a group which is dedicated to river safety. Information is available at any of the above meetings.

River Report

January 9, 2012 503-897-3301

By Dan Best, aka Ranger Dan As a Park Ranger living in the Pacific Northwest there’s always that conversation that makes me think “Are you serious?” I’m known locally for attending to a costumed Bigfoot at Fishermen’s Bend Campground near Mill City, so of course the question is asked, “do I believe in Big-foot?” Well… honestly, as much as I work, live and play in the mountains, I’m hard pressed in today’s world to believe an 8 foot tall ape is running around here spying on us. But yet I’m intrigued that such a large animal could be living among us and still not be classified by scientists today. So with my curiosity and skepticism toward Bigfoot re-searchers, I advise and sometimes investigate good qual-ity films and clues on the subject. To me the ever present fuzzy pictures are nothing but someone’s imagination or a hoax. This brings me to the latest “Are you seri-ous?” news: On December 27, 2012 the Bigfoot com-munity went wild with just a few simple words posted on a Mid-America Bigfoot Research Center (MABRC) forum saying “Daisy is in the Box.” So what does this mean and why so cryptic? With some more internet research we found that an Ed Smith, through a group called QUantra, is claiming they have captured a Bigfoot. Captured a Big-foot! Immediately the MABRC said they are not actually involved in this event. It is interesting they are being used for information yet they are claiming they are not involved. After all, Ed Smith published this news through the MABRC forums and all news about this incident IS originating from Ed Smith, a former

Bigfoot found: is “Daisy in the Box”?

Despite claims of a captured specimen, data regarding Daisy’s height, weight,

hair color, and, you know, general realness still hasn’t been released

member of the QUan-tra group. Ed says that although he is no longer a member of the QUantra group, he received a “Flash” message with the words “As of 0906 27 DEC 2012, “Dai-sy” is in the box.”. Dai-sy was the name that QUantra had agreed to use if they actually had captured a specimen. Now this happened a couple weeks ago and Daisy still hasn’t shown up on Headlines News or the Enquirer , so is this another hoax? On January 2nd The claim is that Daisy was moved 12 miles from the undisclosed capture site to an undisclosed examination area after being thoroughly sedated. Data regard-ing Daisy’s height, weight, hair color, and, you know, general realness still hasn’t been released, but a member of MABRC is optimistic that a statement to the press is imminent. Now the latest is some network is filming this and everyone involved has signed a nondisclosure agreement until the network releases the film. However if anyone has seen Animal Planets Mer-maid “documentary” I am of the belief that so called educational programs have gone to fantasyland and have lost their credibility. So this brings me to what this means

for Bigfoot enthusiasts, investigators and skeptics. Should this prove real it chang-es a lot. New laws will be made to pro-tect this “endangered” species, cryptozo-ologists will become real scientists, and

us skeptics have to eat crow. However, if this is another hoax then it’s going to destroy the credibility of these investigators and it becomes another boy cries wolf story. Of course the critics will have a ball. For myself, I’m just going to hang out in the woods listen-ing for things that go bump in the night. During the summer season at FishBend

I’ll be doing a campfire program titled Lions, Squatches and Bears, Oh, My! It will be interesting how I conclude this program this summer.

Holly Hemphill: Love! You can’t put a price tag on the people around you and the love you share. It’s a never ending supply that never decreases or inflates in price. Love never fails or changes worth in anoth-er country. Love is universal. The best les-son anyone could ever learn to is love and be loved in return. It’s an around the clock job, and sometimes it’s hard, but it’s worth it. I’d choose love because love never fails.

If you could marry just once in your life and you had to choose

between love or money - but could not have both - which would you choose and why?

Traci Scott: I chose love. Married at 16 and 28 years later still in love and broke. God has always pro-vided our needs along with many of our desires. Being in love and being loved is worth more than any amount of money.

Nicole Feigion Miller: I would marry for love because I need love to feel fulfilled in this life, not money. I would much prefer to ac-cumulate a “wealth” of loving rela-tionships than a wealth of material things.

Sam Scott: Love comes easy. A lot easier then money, so I choose money. Making love to you is a lot easier then making money, honey.


So this brings me to what this means for Bigfoot enthusiasts, investigators and

By Ken Cartwright Good news, bluegrass fans. We have a new jam and concert venue, and it looks like a permanent home for the Salem Chapter of the Oregon Bluegrass Association. I spent the morning negotiating with the good folks at the Willamette Heritage Cen-ter, better known as Mission Mill in Salem. Beginning January 20, 2013, we will meet from 2-5pm in the Dye house, ground level, of the mill complex. Very easy access in and out and easy to find. For many years when I was a member and board member of the Salem Folklore Community and the Sa-lem Bluegrass Associa-tion, we used the mill for many events. It’s a great place and they are glad to have us. It comes with a price: The mill has 3 events a year that they need mu-sic for. The first one is May 11, 2013 for the Sheep 2 Shawl event and

they will need bluegrass music for 4 or 5 hours. They will need music September 21 for their Harvest festival and for December 19-23 for Magic at the Mill, about 2 hours per evening. That means that we need to find volun-teers who will perform. Please let me know if you your group would participate. Jan Cartwright and I will gladly step in with our friends. In the event that the Dye house get’s rent-ed for an event that we have a jam sched-uled for, we will be allowed to use the little church nearby that holds 100.

This will also allow us to hold concerts for groups passing through the area that we want to book. There’s hardly a week that goes by that we don’t get one group or an-other wanting a venue in Salem. I will look at doing a concert series for one concert a month. I don’t want to book anymore than that as it’s too much work and I’m not up to the challenge anymore. I am booking a Bluegrass Gospel show now as a fundraiser for the OBA scheduled for April. More de-tails later. And lastly, I need to find a host for David Grier. As you may know, David Grier is

coming to Salem to do a show for us January 17, at the Grand Theatre on High St. Doors open at 7, showtime is 7:30, tickets are $15 at the door. Cash or checks only please, no credit or debit cards. He will need a home to stay in for the night he is here. If you can help, please let me know.

The Santiam Canyon School District School Board is sched-uled to meet in regular session this Thursday, January 10 at 6:30pm in the Santiam Elementary Commons and the public is encouraged to attend. Despite the many cuts and changes that have taken place over the past year, including the closing of Gates Elementary and the loss of many jobs, the Board is still facing a daunting current $200,000 budget deficit. Exactly how this is to be remedied is yet to be decided and the board is seeking com-munity input. According to Interim Superintendent of Schools, Brian Gander, the district was able to reduce the actual deficit of $571,000 from June of 2012 to the current number. The meet-ing this Thursday will provide ample time for community members to share their suggestions.

Santiam Girls Varsity basketball has been heating up the court this season! Last year the Lady Wolverines placed 3rd in the state, and this year with a current ranking of 6th overall in 2A schools, the odds may be in their favor. The girls beat Central Linn 55-12 Tuesday evening, and placed first in the Santiam hosted Holiday Basketball Tournament event. Santiam’s Varsity Boys team keeps a determined focus with inspired players. They lost their last game to Central Linn, 45-53 giving the Cobras, a top ranking in the league team, a challenging run for their money. The Wolverine’s currently rank 34th in Oregon. Santiam hosts their next games this Wednesday, January 9 against the Culver Bulldogs.. J.V. games start at 3:30 and Varsity at 6:30 at the Santiam Jr/Sr High Gymnasium.

have embraced it with passion. They probably don’t realize how difficult it is to stage a full-blown stage mu-sical with all novice actor/singers! Howev-er, several of the actors are truly gifted per-formers. They help to energize the cast and motivate us all to push ourselves to create a thoroughly entertaining show!” said Berrier. This version of the classic story of Sleep-ing Beauty is based on the original Grimm’s story, it is not the Disney edition. The story will be familiar but the music is new and

according to Berrier, “absolutely fantastic!” In fact, the composer, David Kisor, wrote a new song just for Theater Outreach at David Berriers’ request. It is called “Suddenly”, which Santiam Elementary’s own Briar Rose, Gracie Goodell, will sing. In all there are a total of 23 songs in the show, including an opera, which should prove a real treat for fans of musicals. The Evil Fairy, Wysteria, played by Paige Han-na, sings some of the most powerful songs, “and Paige nails them all,” said Berrier.

Berrier directed the same version of Sleep-ing Beauty recently at Theater Outreaches home stage at Chemeketa Community Col-lege. The elaborate sets, complete with an innovative fire-breathing dragon, are to be moved to Santiam Auditorium this week. The costumes are almost complete, just needing a bit of reworking to fit the smaller sized actors, and JoAnn Hebbing, the music director, is preparing the musicians for full-runs in the coming weeks. “It is a very big undertaking; we could

not be successful without the the unrelenting drive and support of Ross Miller and Caroline Gil-laspy. They are true treasures of the Santiam School District!” said Berrier. Sleeping Beauty is scheduled: Thurs Jan 31, 7pm, Sat Feb 2 at 2pm/7pm, and Sun Feb 3, 2pm. Tickets: $5 for adults, $3 seniors/students. Desserts will be served at intermission with all proceeds benefiting the drama program.

Ina M. DamonMarch 15, 1922 – January 3, 2013

Obituaries Ina Linda Whitten passed away peacefully on January 2, 2013 in Vancouver, Washington, about 4 weeks shy of her 98th birthday. She was born on January 28th, 1915 at home in Rosburg, Washington, across the Columbia River from Astoria. She was the thirteenth child in her family and her mother called her “the youngest a-one” from that point on. Her parents immigrated from Finland, were married in Astoria in 1888, and set-tled in Rosburg. Ina finished grade school there and later went to Beauty School in Portland. She then worked in Woodburn as a beautician for several years. In 1940, she married Eugene Noyes Whitten, from nearby Skamokawa. They moved to Cougar, Washington later that year where Noyes logged near the base of Mt. St. Helens. In 1941, they relocated to Scio, Oregon for several years while Noyes logged in the Quartzville area. In 1943, they moved to Idanha, where Noyes logged on the North Santiam. In 1955, they relocated to Mill City where Noyes continued logging until he retired. In 2001, Noyes died and in 2002, Ina moved to the Marian Estates in Sublim-ity where she remained until 2011 when she moved to Vancouver, Washington to be nearer her children and their families. In Idanha and Mill City, Ina took great pride in her flowers and yard, earning several awards for “Best Landscaped Yard” in Mill City. Over the years, Ina and Noyes took many trips around the US and also enjoyed visiting Canada, England, Finland, India, New Zea-land, Australia, and Tahiti. Ina is survived by her daughter, Cara Lee Crowder and husband Tom of Lake Oswego, and her son Charles (“Rusty”) Whitten and his wife Sharon of Battle Ground, WA, Grandchildren Christina Crowder in Hamden, Connecticut, Lisa Crowder in Bryan, Texas, Kevin Whit-ten and wife Lisa in Yacolt, WA and Jef-frey Whitten and wife Shelly in LaCenter, WA, and 5 great-grandchildren; Katelyn and Bethany Whitten (LaCenter), and Eric, Sam, and Lena Whitten (Yacolt). She was preceded in death by her hus-band of 61 years, Noyes (2001), father Matt (1915), mother Rosa (1953), broth-ers Matt, Charlie, Richard, Andrew, and Ted, and sisters Mary, Ida, Hilma, Sophie, Alma, Jennie, and Helia. Visitation will be held on Thursday, Jan-uary 10 from 9am-4pm and a funeral ser-vice will be held on Friday, January 11th at 1pm, both at Weddle Funeral Chapel in Stayton, Oregon. Online condolences to: www.Weddle-Funeral.com. Contributions to the North Santiam Historical Society or Mill City Fire Department may be made in lieu of flowers, if desired.

The “oddity” has to do with the NFL’s insis-tence upon referring to the next Super Bowl as XLVII rather than Super Bowl 2013. To illustrate: Super Bowl XLVII is actually Super Bowl 47 and it is scheduled for Febru-ary 3, 2013 and not February III, MMXIII.

The NFL has always used Arabic or digital numbers on their uni-forms, yard lines and scoreboards. Why do they insist upon Roman Numerals for Super Bowls? In baseball things are different. The 2012 World Series took place in 2012 and I don’t know anybody who gives a hoot what “number” it was. Nor do I believe anybody gains any serious benefit in knowing that the Super Bowl played on February 3, 2013 is officially described as Super Bowl XLVII. Quick now, in regular numbers what year did they play Super Bowl XXX-VIII? That was Super Bowl 38 and it was played in the year MMIV. That’s the oddity. Why does the NFL get so tricky when referring to a particular Super Bowl and so straightforward about everything else? The 50 yard line is the 50 yard line and never re-ferred to as the “L” yard line. It is al-ways “first and ten.” It’s never “first and X”! After a touchback in the NFL the ball is placed on the 20 yard line not the XX yard line! (In college the ball is placed on the 25 and never the XXV.) So much for the “oddity.”

The Super Bowl 2013 “shocker” is based upon the average price of TV commercials aired during the game. It is no surprise to a lot of folks that the average 30 second commercial is reportedly at $4 million. That comes to $133,333 per second or $8 million a minute or $480 million an hour. At that rate, it would require a little over 2 hours to watch $1 billion dollars worth of commercials at the rates being charged for Super Bowl 2013. Keep in mind that one trillion is equal to one thousand billions. Today, the National Debt is over $16 trillion dollars. At $480 mil-lion an hour it would take 33,333 hours to watch $16 trillion worth

of commercials! That’s over three years and seven months to see $16 trillion worth of TV commercials priced at $133,333 per second! Just imagine watching TV com-mercials non-stop (24/7) for three years and seven months. That’s about as long as it takes to go from a high school freshman to a graduating senior with no time off for weekends or summer vacations! Recommendation to all high school stu-dents: Take this REALITY CHECK to your math teacher and determine if my calculations are correct. After that, invite your Congressman or Senator to come to Santiam High School and explain why Congress is being judicious and prudent in forcing your generation to pay for all the things they decide your parents must have but cannot afford.
