News from the North Santiam
Snowmobile Club We have lost another great member of our Snowmobile Community: Larry Riser, who passed away. He has been a snowmobiler in every way. Club mem-ber, OSSA member, groomer, mechanic and also a snowmobiler. He will be greatly missed in our community. Another month has come and gone. No snow. I have actually been thinking maybe I should ask Peggy if I could buy a snow machine. Or maybe we should just line the parking lot with cotton so we can at least take pictures. Harold Hills snow dances haven’t been working out either. Picture this - he’s doing the snow dance in swimming trunks. I would really like to thank all of our Club Members for putting in so many hours preparing for this winter and no snow. Our Christmas pot luck dinner was a great success. We all know what it means in Detroit and Idanha when it comes to putting one on. We have some of the greatest cooks in the world, right here. You’re all missing out. If you haven’t come to one of our Club Meet-ings you should plan a trip. The lower parking lot parking diagram sign is ready for Club approval. Dave Shelton at White Water Signs has done another great job. We will have a sam-ple at our next Club Meeting on January 21. Club calenders are in at all your De-troit and Idanha local stores or we will have them at the Club Meetings.

Girls Scout cookie sales begin
On your mark, get set, Cookies!
They’re back! Local Girl Scouts and Brownies are out in force this week, with one thing in mind - bringing cook-ies to the masses. In addition to favor-ites like Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Sa-moas, a new lemony Savannah Smiles cookie is introduced this year to honor 100 years of Girl Scouting. Troops will be collecting cookie pre-orders from Jan 7 to Jan 17, with de-livery on the weekend of Feb 11. Store front booth sales start Feb 17. We currently have two troops in the
North Santiam Canyon area (#10118 and #10102) with around 35 girls par-ticipating. Girl Scouts is a non-profit or-ganization, and all monies earned from product sales go right back into the pro-gram (after the bakers are paid). The local troops earn and keep 65 cents per box to use for crafts, events and camp. All parents help is 100% volunteer. The cookie program helps girls de-velop 5 key business and leadership skills that last a lifetime. They are: people skills, goal setting, business ethics, decision-making and money management. The Scouts also support the C.H.O.C. A-LOT program (Cook-ies Helping Our Community). Any donated boxes of cookies are given to the local food bank. It’s another great way to support our local troops, even if New Year’s resolutions dictate “say no to cookies”. The scouts also can accept cash dona-tions with 100% going directly to local troop activities. For more info on how to voluteer or donate: Jessica Wills at 503-897-2522 or Kathy Klagge at 503-897-5112.
A moment in time: the Canyon in 1922
In 1922, a 20-member Bohemian brass band was organized (in Mill City). They played patriotic music very early in the morning on the Fourth of July ev-ery year for many years near the water tank on the hill north of town. Also in 1922, Freres Lumber Com-pany was incorporated by T.G. Freres. Used with permission from “100 Years in the North Santiam Canyon” a publi-cation of North Santiam Historical So-ciety.

Lyons resident Dick Volten will soon have a new friend hanging on his wall, thanks to a successful moose hunting trip in Alaska last September. That’s when four friends took a two week long trip to the great northern state, landing about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage in the wilds near Illiamna, Alaska. Right now at home, Dick and Rosemary Volten have several friends on their wall, including an yet-unnamed elk, a caribou named Sly and a moose named Bullwin-kle - who once stood at least 7 feet tall. The Volten’s had to renovate their living room to fit him in. The new moose, soon to be named The Boss, will hang right along side them when he gets home from taxidermist Don Spier, who also happened to be there when The Boss’s new life direction was decided. The four friends - Dick Volten of Lyons, Tony Silbernagel of Scio and Don Spier of Idanha - have been hunting this spot near lliamna, Alaska for years. Last September, they brought Eric Lulay of Salem with them. They like it because of a 50 foot,
8 mile long bank along the river, which gives them a great view of the sprawling wilderness - and the moose they go there to hunt. But it’s not an easy place to get to. The group has to fly in on a bush plane, then take a 50 mile, two day raft trip from Six Mile Lake down the Newhalen River. Once there, they have to find the moose - and keep their take from becoming breakfast for the local bears, which is what happened to Don Spier’s moose this year. He shot an moose with a 64” rack on the first day of the adventure, but only brought home the ani-mal’s antlers. A bear took off with the rest. A little over a week into the trip, Dick Volten took down The Boss and his 69” rack. Three days later, Tony Silbernagel shot his moose with a 69” rack. For most of the two week trip, the four friends had to pack and unpack the meat, keeping it safe on the boat when possible and hanging it the rest of the time. The moose hunt may be mostly recreation for the four friends, but it helps provide the locals with some much needed meat over the winter. That’s because the native people have developed a partnership with the visiting hunters and often make use of the meat that’s too expensive to ship home. “People up there are getting to where they enjoy and ap-preciate it,” said Dick Volten. “They don’t waste it.” This year alone, the
group estimates that they gave 500 pounds of meat to a native Alaskan village. Dick Volten, Tony Silbernagel, Don Spier and Eric Lulay brought home the backstrap and hindquarters of two moose. They gave the ribs to the pilot of the plane who picked them up at the end of their journey, perhaps to ensure a safe trip next time. “The pilot always gets the ribs,” laughed Dick Volten. “The pilot always gets the ribs!”

Robert Bernard BartgesAug 16, 1923 - Jan 5, 2012
Beloved husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, and a loyal friend to many. Robert Bernard Bartges was born August 16, 1923 and died on Thursday, January 5, 2012 af-ter recently being diagnosed with lym-phoma. He was 88. Bob lived life with a great interest in other people. Bob’s faith deepened his love and care for others. He had a great love for the out-doors and shared that with his family, as well as those across several generations who shared the same interests. Bob’s influ-ence encouraged us to take time to enjoy the hidden beauties in the outdoors; the flowers blooming, and the things to be noticed along a mountain path. His generosity with his time, and his keen interest in sharing everything he en-joyed with family and friends, will be sorely missed Bob was born in Salem and attended Salem High School. He enlisted in the army and served in New Guinea, the Philippine’s and Japan. After returning from World War II, he married Edna Collins. They were married 52 years, until her death in 1998. He worked over 35 years for the Oregon State Highway Department (now ODOT). Later Bob married Mariann Bither, whom he had known since childhood. He moved to Tigard where he and
Mariann together enjoyed the last 13 years of his life. Bob counted many people he met those last years in the Portland area as special friends. Bob loved music, which he shared singing with Edna and his family and friends. He often played the violin, piano, or autoharp when he sang. He wrote songs and poems specifically about different experiences he had.
He loved to give peo-ple nicknames, which would often depict something they liked to do, or some charac-teristic about them. He had some nicknames for himself, including “Cold River Bob” and “The Bald Eagle.” Bob was preceded in death by his parents, Warren & Nettie Bart-
ges, his sisters Velma Bartges and Viv-ian Nichols; brother Warren (Gene) Bartges. He is survived by his wife, Mariann (Bither) Bartges, his daugh-ter’s Deborah Mosman (Rod) and Caroline Gillaspy (Jerry); stepson’s Scott Bither (Dore) and Randy Bither (Karla), 10 grandchildren: Marya Da-vies, Derick, Rory, & Ramey Mosman, Libby, Nettie, & Amy Gillaspy, Annie Munger, Malia Miller, Kyra Ziniker, and 17 great-grandchildren Services will be held at the Keizer Community Center on Saturday, Janu-ary 14 at 10:30 a.m. A potluck will fol-low the service, with a graveside ser-vice at 2:30 p.m. at Belcrest Cemetery.

Because of the floods two weeks ago, Detroit Lake has been releasing some of the high water that was held back for flood control. North Santiam River flow remains higher than usual, and is now 24 feet above the low Winter level. The present flow lev-els have caused the Lake to drop a couple of feet per day, so if the rainfall stays at a low level, things may be back to normal in a week and a half. The river color has improved and there is now around a foot of visibility in many of the drifts. River temperature is still quite cold, but it is warming up slowly. Packsaddle temper-ature is now around 41 degrees. Generally, the steelhead start to move upstream in big numbers when the temp gets up to 50 degrees, but we still get some good days for fish passage at lower temperatures. The natural timing of the run is also important. The North Santiam offers the most native steelhead and miles of interesting white-water. The most significant snow gauge for the North Santiam is at Little Meadows, East of Monument Peak and less than a mile South of Detroit Lake. Last year, we had 48 inches of snow at this time, and this year, we have 14 inches. We have weeks of snow season remaining, but the agency people will be looking closely at the snow-pack levels to make sure that Detroit Lake will fill completely by the first of May.

“Most medical con-ventions are held in fancy hotels, where doctors socialize, sipping on wine and carrying on in-tellectual discussion, miles apart from the people they serve. So we’re actually hav-ing America’s doctors come to you. These are board certified physicians of all types coming to connect with real people on a real level, they are coming to learn from you (the locals) what it is that people in rural America want for healthcare.” Why a documentary? “In America we lose a doctor a day to suicide; 60% of doctors want to quit while patients con-tinue to suffer. We can’t wait for politician saviors. Health-
care Of, By, and For The People demonstrates how citizens are by-passing partisan discord by rede-
signing healthcare from the bottom up.” The three part series begins in less than two weeks- Jan. 21-22 (public invited, free of charge)Saturday, Jan. 21, 6:30 pm, Korner Post ~ Meet doctors & film crew, then off to the Cowboy Thanksgiving.
