The members of the Lyons City Council held a special meeting last week to update the community on how the city is doing. There, council members and other com-munity liaisons presented updates on city roads, the fire hall damage, water hydrant testing and the fire siren, upgrades to city amenities and cemetery maintenance. “From a city government standpoint, we have seen some wonderful things happen that will have an impact on this community for years to come,” said Mayor Doug Mor-gan at the February 8 meeting. The city - and city council in particular - is constantly challenged with deciding just what exactly its role is, what it should be. “The city government is to work for its

residents. We all love the community of Ly-ons and want it to stay a wonderful place to live. How we work together towards the same goals will determine the health of this community,” said Morgan.City Beautification Project The city beautification project is just one of those partnerships, said Mayor Morgan, also the city’s Parks and Recreation Com-mssioner. Over the last year, hundreds of trees and bushes were planted around places like Freres Park, Fox Valley Cemetery and at the entrance to Juniper St, thanks to part-nerships with local companies.Building Upgrades The city has also accomplished upgrades to City Hall and the Lyons Public Library, and

has worked with an engineering firm to con-duct a city drainage study to facilitate wa-ter flows. They’ve also changed how City Council conducts their meetings to improve communications with the public, said May-or Doug Morgan.City Roads The city has worked to repair roads, as well, said Dan Burroughs, Transportation Com-missioner and city council member. They’ve sealed the cracks in the road on Dogwood, Cedar and 3rd streets. They patched the road on Juniper. And the drainage issues on 24th are “pretty much under control,” said Bur-roughs. They city will continue to monitor 24th and will be looking to repair the sink-holes on 7th and on Elm (cont’d on page 2)

St in the future.Lyons Fire Dept The fire department will be conducting hydrant testing in conjunction with the Lyons-Mehama Water District, said Ed Jones, Lyons Rural Fire Protection Dis-trict liaison and Lyons Planning Commis-sioner. The department is also returning the siren to active use, a process that is in progress. It will sound between 7am-7pm to call volunteers to emergencies and will have a special sound to alert the public of a broader emergency. The fire hall has also sustained signifi-cant damage due to a leaking roof and now contains a large hole in the ceiling with water and fiberglass insulation fall-ing through. The water is possibly pass-ing over or near electrical wiring, cre-ating a unpredictable fire hazard. They have secured a roofing consultant, who will be hiring local contractors to com-plete the $80,000 repair. The fire department is also in need of new emergency vehicles and will be pro-posing a bond measure to replace the cur-rent 30-40 year old rescue and fire rigs. The bond will be less than the one pro-posed earlier this year, since it will be for equipment only.

Fox Valley Cemetery The cemetery received a new fence and new plants as part of the city beautifica-tion project. They are currently having a problem with gophers/ground squirrels which are undermining the headstones, said Mike Lucas, Cemetery Commis-sioner and city council member. They hired a professional trapper, but that didn’t eradicate the creatures. Their goal is to cement under and straighten the headstones. They are also planning to get new grave markers for abandoned plots. “We need to do something about getting better markers for the people,” said Lu-cas.Mari-Linn School The school district does not have any plans to close Mari-Linn School, said Steve Baldwin, North Santiam School District liaison and Lyons Planning Com-missioner.Joseph’s Storehouse of Hope The local food bank distribution group is now serving over 150 needy families through the help of several faith-based organizations. “The growth of this proj-ect is just one sign of how these tough times can be counteracted with good peo-ple,” said Mayor Doug Morgan.

What was Detroit’s original name? What is the explanation for this unusual post office name?

Detroit’s original name was “Coe”. However, the U.S. Postal Service refused the name as it too closely resembled “Cove”. In 1893, the homesteaders,

who were mostly from Michigan, decided to name the area Detroit. There was no community at that time - just an opening for the railroad and

occasional clearings for cedar posts and railroad wood.Courtesy of “100 Years in the North Santiam Canyon”. Copies available for $5

Getting all dressed up for prom, for less The costs of getting dressed for prom, as we all know, can be so ridiculously high that even the most reasonable of par-ents might find themselves at odds: Prom dress or rent? Dress shoes or groceries? With the goal of easing that burden, Ann Benefield of Stayton has established “All Dressed Up”, an event of gathering gen-tly used special occasion dresses, dress shoes and accessories for the young la-dies of the Canyon. Ann, teamed with the local Canyon Cri-

sis Center, will be collecting the items March 10 at the Valley Starlight Dance competition that will takes place at the Santiam High School gym in Mill City. If you would like more information, have a gently used formal dress, dress shoes, or accessories you would like to donate, or are someone or know some-one who might be in need of any of these items, contact the Canyon Crisis Center at 503-897-2327, or look up them up on Facebook.

Obituaries

LYONS – Robert Dean Franklin peacefully passed away early Sunday morn-ing at the age of 74 with his wife and “Angel on Earth” at his side. He was born in the historic Charles and Martha Brown House at 425 North First Avenue, Stayton, Oregon to Dallas “Gus” and Melvina (Mar-tell) Franklin. Robert grew up on the North Fork and in Lyons with his five older siblings, Harry (Delores), Ben (Cleo), Willard (Do-ris), Goldie (Melvin) Peck and Dorothy (Alvin) Garrison. Robert’s siblings, par-ents and his second born child, Cindy Lou (infant) are all deceased.

gan his own business as owner-operator of his log truck, later bought a por-table saw mill, worked for Hugh Johnson (dump truck) and again as owner-operator of his own dump truck and retired as the owner of Bob’s Bark-N-More in Mehema.

Robert often loved to just drive through the Or-egon mountains and along the coast to experience the scenery. He was forever a joker and could make you smile on your toughest day. Robert was always willing to give of himself to help anyone who had

The North Santiam just dropped into the best river level of the year, and today was the first day with volume below 1,100 cubic feet per second since last August. The river temperature is still a little cold, and there is still some cloudy color to it. However, these are the best conditions of the year and re-mind us of the beauty to come in the Spring. River volume forecasting is an inexact sci-ence because the weather changes quickly in Western Oregon. We had two or three dif-ferent river forecasts for the next ten days all on the same day. That was caused by two or three different weather forecasts all on the same day, It is important to check fore-casts shortly before outdoor adventures, and there is still some risk involved. The fore-cast today calls for quite a bit of rain this week, so the flow will probably increase and perhaps the 1,800 cfs flow (at Packsaddle) is realistic. Heavy sustained rains would in-crease that, and if the storms turn away we will have less flow. The fish count at Willamette Falls at Or-egon City has been moderate, with about 1,700 steelhead so far this winter. The sum-mer steelhead start slowly now and increase slightly into March, when their numbers can get to be pretty good. April, May, and June are excellent months for fish passage and there is some dry weather occasionally. River conditions and fish passage are excel-lent and predictable in June. First Aid (with CPR) class will be given in Mehama on Saturday, February 18 at 9am with Kurt Hueller instructing the class. Please call (503 897 3301) immediately if you are not already signed up. People who spend much time on the river often use the lessons productively. Later in the week, we will call the registered students with the lo-cation of the class, which will be either at the Lyons Fire Hall or at Kurt’s home office. February 21 is the next meeting for Steel-headers Salem Chapter, which is at 7:00 p.m. at Keizer Community Center. February 22 is the next meeting for North Santiam River Guides Association.

The North Santiam Snowmobile Club has scheduled their First Aid and CPR Class on March 3, 10am. This class will take about 3 hours to complete and will be held in the City of Detroit’s Hall. This is a requirement to operate the snow cat and groomer and a great idea for all of us to attend. “I would like to know the person beside me could possibly save my life. I would hope you would all feel the same. This is an opportunity that I hope all members of NSSC take advantage of,” said Keith Munn. Beverage and munchies will be available at the class. Cost is only $5 per person. “I would like the NSSC to pick up that cost to all NSSC members,” said Munn. Please RSVP to Doug Eilers at [email protected]. Keith Munn has resigned his position as President of the NSSC. Please submit correspondence to Doug Eilers at [email protected].

Spring at Misty Mountain FarmsMill City Moose Lodge happenings

Shelby Ward of Mill City celebrated

his 37th year with friends and family last Friday night at Mt. Edge Cafe.

Santiam High School teacher Debbie Fawcett successfully obtained a grant from the Siletz Charitable foundation to outfit the JV boy’s basketball team with new uniforms this year. Last season, the team had to go through four boxes of mis-matched uniforms to outfit the team. With this grant from the Siletz Charitable Foundation, they will be able to buy some

new duds so that all the stu-dents have matching uniforms. The Santiam boy’ s basketball team would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the Siletz Tribe and Charitable Founda-tion. In addition, they would like to thank Marlene Hirons, Austin-Josh and Abby Fawcett for go-ing to Lincoln City to accept this award.
