Arey Podrabsky, 99, a long-time resident of Mill City, Oregon, was an ageless wonder, full of life, love and laughter passed away May 1, peacefully at the home he built in 1950. He was born to Czech immi-grants, Josef and Marie Podrab-sky, June 6, 1914. He met Irene Palon in Scio, Or-egon and married the love of his life in 1935. They began their life together in Longview, Wash-ington, where their oldest daugh-ter, Barbara and son Lahny were born. Arey was a beekeeper and

worked in the lath mill. In the year of 1940, Arey and his family relocated to his home-town Mill City, making it their permanent home, where Judy, their youngest daughter was born. He became a wood business en-trepreneur in 1940. Arey owned broom handle, lath and firewood businesses. After the war, he built and operat-ed a sawmill on the Little North Fork. He was a gifted, skilled carpenter, builder of nine houses in

Mill City. Arey led an active social life, playing the clarinet in Mill City orchestra and Mill City Bohe-mian Brass Band. He served as President of the ZCBJ Czech Fraternal lodge. Arey was an ac-tive member of fourteen years in the Mill City Fire Dept. He was a unique performer in various the-

atrical organizations. Arey enjoyed writing and com-posing music, dancing through life with his wife, performing with the Czech Jolly dancers exhibition group, playing for the local fire-

Clinton Orvill Swearin-gen II, an inmate who is supposed to be serving time at Deer Ridge Correc-tional Institution, escaped from the Madras facility on Sunday night. Swear-ingen is a recent former Mill City resident and of-ficers believe he has ties to the North Santiam Canyon area. The local sheriff believes that Swearingen has left the Madras area, but he can’t confirm that. Swearingen was arrested in Mill City in December of 2013, with help from Marion County Deputy Jason Bernards and his K9 partner, Rolo. Deputies had attempted to arrest him on several outstanding warrants when he fled into a vacant resi-

dence on SW Ivy St., Mill City. That’s when Rolo was called in. The K9 lo-cated the culprit hiding in a closet and subdue him until officers could get the hand-cuffs on. Swearingen began serv-ing his sentence in Febru-ary of 2014, on one count of theft in the first degree, two counts of burglary in the second degree, and two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle out of Linn County. His earliest release date was scheduled for December of 2017. But prison staff discov-ered Swearingen was miss-ing at 10:30pm on May 4, during a prison count. Sur-veillance video shows that he climbed a razor-wire fence at 9:20pm. Over the

Former Mill City resident escapes

from Madras Jail

Podrabsky, pillar of community, dies at 99

This car, stuck on the side of the Mill City US Bank drive thru, was a curious site Sunday afternoon. More curious was that the engine was

still running and the driver was not to be found. It turns out, according to Sgt. Lawler of the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, that the Honda was indeed a stolen vehicle out of Keizer, and the car thief had fled on foot after abandoning it. It is unclear if the thief has yet been apprehended,

but Sgt. Lawler said the Sheriff’s Office has a very good lead.

Joanne Hebing of Mill City is a mother and a grandmother an active proponent of developing a skate park in Mill City. Each week, Mrs. Hebing has been submit-ting reasons why she believes a skate park would be a good thing for any community. The Mill City Skate Park Committee meets at least each month and are announced on their facebook page: Mill City Skate Park Project. Skateboarding is a 2.5 billion dollar in-dustry. For decades, skateboarding has been on the leading edge of youth mar-keting. Today it’s serious business with lucrative video games, television shows, and brand names that launch dozens of product lines. with all of this marketing, more kids than ever before are eager to learn to skate. The demand is enormous and skateparks are the place to start.”

Skateboarders are a vital part of urban communities. Skateboarding has been a commonplace feature of the urban envi-ronment for over 40 years, and a part of American culture since the 1950s. It’s so popular with youth that today there is no city on the planet that doesn’t have its own skateboarding group of kids. Our lo-cal skateboarders are not part of a fringe group of kids who are into something unique and uncommon.” By Jo Ann Hebing

Richard Sly of Salem found some photo-graphs in his deceased relatives belongings, and he’s hoping that someone in the North Santiam Canyon can help him identify just who is in one of the pictures. “Roughly a year ago my father-in-law, Norman O. Lee passed away at his age 90,” wrote Sly. “Unknown to his immediate fam-ily, he stored a suitcase filled with histori-cal family photographs & correspondence (from 1880-1939) on the property of his maternal uncle, (James) Gordon Zoellner -

and grandparents: Susan & August Zoellner of Mehama, Oregon. I’m wondering if anyone reading The Canyon Weekly is able to identify the lady and man pictured.” Sly wrote that an elderly family member has been helpful in iden-tifying a few people in the photos - but not all. He believes that the couple in the attached picture are about aged 25-35. The clothing they're wearing could place

the year of photo 1890s-1910. “Unfortunately, most of the photos were not identified with notes on the reverse,” wrote Sly. “I suspect there are local old timers - relatives living in your circulation area that would know right away.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Richard Sly through The Canyon Weekly at (email) editor@thecanyonweekly.com or (mail) at PO Box 52 Mill City, OR 97360.

Our Santiam Can-yon School District

teams are trying to peak as they close in on the end of the sea-

son. High school baseball and Junior High baseball/softball teams have 3 games

this week (May 5-9) and are trying to get these games in, even with the threat of rain this week.

High School baseball lost a heartbreaker in the bottom of the 7th inning to East Linn on Monday by the score of 7-6. Logan Nicot pitched the whole game and only gave up 1 earned run. They plan to play at Regis on Wednesday (7th) and host Perry-dale on Friday (9th). Junior High baseball and softball got back on their winning ways by beating Perrydale on Monday night. They will host Delphian on Wednesday and plan to play at Blanchet on Friday. Junior High track travels to St. Mary’s on Wednes-day for its last competition before districts on Tuesday, May 13, at East Linn. The athletes are attempting to set personal/team records as they prepare for post season next week. High School track has their final track meet of the regular season on Friday, May 9, at the Twilight competition at Regis (starts at 3pm). The girls and boys teams have been competitive all year in each meet ranging between 1st and 3rd place finishes each time. District competition will be at Waldport High School on May 16-17 and hopefully there will be some that qualify for the State Champion-ships at the University of Oregon on May 23-24.

man dances and joined his wife as dancing instructors in the junior high schools. Their favorite dance was the polka music and danced it well. He was a dedicated yell leader since 1937 in Mill City and led the annual reunion cheer, “Alagaroo” every summer. Arey was declared the oldest yell leader in history at the age of 98. Among the various activities he loved were fishing, crabbing, hunting, camping, planting his gardens, playing cards and trips to the Casino. Arey was an amazing man that was admired by all and touched many lives. He was kind-hearted, compassionate, generous, full of laughter, always singing, yodeling, and a joy to be around. He was a positive example and inspiration that made a difference in many lives. Arey was loved and will be truly missed. His true passion was living life to the fullest in a healthy lifestyle, after he became an herbalist in the year 1938, his fountain of youth. Arey was a legend in his time and an icon of the community. His spirit and good will, will be his legacy. His wife Irene passed away in 2000. He is survived by Barbrae Dante, Seattle, Washington, Lahny Podrabsky, Albany, Oregon, Judith Spector, Seal Rock, Oregon, nine grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren, and one great, great grandchild. There will be a private family gathering with relatives join-ing together for a Celebration of Life.

course of the last few days, investigators came upon two clues. Detectives recovered blood from a stolen vehicle abandoned in a Madras neigh-borhood, and they also found

bloody clothes that have since been sent to a crime lab to de-termine if they belong to the escapee. Swearingen is a 31-year-old Caucasian male, 5 feet 6

inches tall, 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. Anyone with info regarding Swearingen’s whereabouts is asked to call Oregon State Po-lice at 1-800-452-7888.
