By Daryl Atwood What once was an old school house rebuilt in 1942, catering only to a small group of children is now being reno-vated into a youth and com-munity center in Mehama just off Emma St. The Old School Commu-nity and Youth Center, a 4100 square foot building, has been under construc-tion since last year and still has plenty to get done by the opening date on the 4th of July, 2014. “Volunteers are working hard to get this landmark’s doors reopened to the public,” said project coordinator Ron Adams. The two story building will have half of the down stairs designated for the youth, providing table games as well as just a place to spend time with others their age. Plans for the upstairs in-clude a public gathering spot for community dinners and parties, with hopes to provide a place for counselling, cooking classes, family programs and other similar programs. “This is a faith based project, but the pro-grams will focus on community and life
values more than scripture,” said Adams, “a place for all ages to come and spend time and have fun with others of the community.”
Donations have come in for the Old School Community and Youth Center in the form of doors from
Freres Building supply in Stayton to window glass from Mehama True Value. Local logging companies have donated time and equipment to clean out some of the tim-ber that exists on the 4.20 acres. Logging the property will help maintain the timber on the
two parcel lot by removing the older dying trees so that the younger trees can grow.

When you go into the doctor’s office and the receptionist greets you by your first name.Mick Evans, Elkhorn
Coming together when there is a great need in community.Jody Galbraith, Mill City
Our kids have opportunities to play sports, star in drama productions......to have mo-ments to shine. Melody Munger, Gates
Knowing you are still loved and cared about even though you move away.. Lifelong relationships that distance can’t erase...Sheila Zervas Nielsen, Sublimity (former-ly from Gates)
I loved having my children grow up in the Canyon, and the fact that everyone watches out for each other - celebrating their successes and grieving their losses. From lost dogs to lost or struggling chil-dren, there is always someone out there to look out for them, and help them find their way back home. Small towns ROCK! Roseanna Juhola, Mill City
I like knowing everybody and a sense of community, even if you don’t see some-one very often, you know them and care about them. Every pitches in and helps.Deborah Hastings, Idanha
The fact that your children can get away with NOTHING because everyone knows you and gets in touch with you as soon as they even THINK about getting into trouble!Alison DeRenzo, Mill City
Though I’ve only lived here in town for 6 months, I have been coming to Mill City for many years on business and pleasure. I know a lot of people here and they are involved with the community. I like that people, for the most part, like the small town feel and watch your back. It has a real sense of community. Those who give and those who take.Ken Cartwright, Mill City
I love that when I ran out of gas recently on my way to get gas at least a half a doz-en people stopped to ask of I was ok. Mi-cah from the bank actually went to get me gas. John from public works and my won-derful co-worker came to my rescue. So although I was pretty embarrassed it was also a good reminder of how kind people really still are. Kimberley Keirsey Johnson, Mill City
I love seeing the lumber trucks still going in this small town, they may be noisy go-ing by, but in a small town, that’s the only noise I hear and it is a welcome noise. Patty McGuire, Mill City
Local Speak...This week we asked our readers, “What do you like best about living in a small town?”

Santiam Hearts to Arts $2000 closer
to a community radio
station
Doris Johnson from Pacific Power presented Mike Medley of Santiam Hearts to Arts with a check for $2000 Thursday, January 9, 2014. This money came from Pacific Powers Cultural Development Fund and it will be used for the construction of or acquisition of equipment to bring the 100 watt low power FM station planned for the East Santiam Canyon. The goal is to raise $30,000 to build the non profit /non commercial FM station that will serve Gates, Mill City, Lyons and Mehama. It is hoped that this station will be operational by late spring or early summer of this year. Santiam Hearts to Arts have taken a leading role in making the arts and communication visible and accessible to all residents of the Santiam Canyon. Hearts to Arts have been involved in bringing and making art, music, education and communication to this area
for over 6 years . For more information visit www. heartstoarts.org The future radio station is also looking for some donations of computers. If you have a good working PC with sound cards and need a good home for it please contact Ken Cart-wright at 503-507-2941 They also are look-
ing for two turntables and CD players

Ken’s bad, but clean Joke of the Week
A school teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. It fit under his shirt and was not no-ticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school. Walking confidently into the rowdy class-room, he opened the window as wide as pos-sible and then busied himself with desk work. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he took the desk stapler and stapled the tie to his chest. He had no trouble with discipline that term.

The boys varsity beat Ken-nedy 52-49, but succumbed to East Linn 29-50 and a narrow defeat by Culver 43-47. Come cheer on the home team and see these teams in action at their next home game, Tuesday, Jan. 21 as they face off Western Mennonite. JV games start at 3:30, Varsity games at 6:30.

Now here’s something good to chew on!– Linn County has added a part-time person to serve the Santiam Can-yon with a focus on youth and families. Based out of the schools, the emphasis will be healthy eating, and learning to grow food locally. The greenhouse at the high school will be utilized, and plants provided to families and the community garden if that’s desired. Your ideas are wanted, related to this project. Community feedback is being sought, to help guide the project. Contact Robin Galloway at (541)967-3871 or e-mail her: [email protected]. OSU Extension offers a wide range of educational resources from their Albany office, and website (www.oregonstate.edu/extension/linn).

Budget Committee openings
By Madi Knox For the past couple of years Mari-Linn School and their ASB group has been hosting a fundraiser to raise money to help discover more about Multiple Sclerosis, or “MS”, and eventually find a cure for it. MS is a chronic, even incapacitating disease, which attacks the brain, spinal cord, optic nerves and other parts of the central nervous system. Those who suffer from MS could have minor symptoms, such as numbness in the limbs, or as severe as loss of vision or paralysis. The fundraiser we are having is a coin drive. Students bring in spare change they find in corners of their rooms, checks that their grandparents wrote them and even a few dollar bills that are put to good use. There are 8 jars in the school’s office, one for each classroom, where students, and even staff, can leave their donation. To add a bit of healthy competi-tion, the class that brings in the most money for the cause gets a party funded by the ASB. Last year we made a total of $904.51! This year our goal is $600. Although, we hope to make more! If we meet our goal by the 29th of January, Mr. Comstock, the 8th grade teacher who organizes this fundraiser each year, will lead an all staff member performance of the fun pop single, “What Does the Fox Say”, in front of the whole student body. We’re
determined to help all those struggling with this awful disease, as well as get a laugh or two at this reward.Growing green

Mill City Neighborhood Watch network will meet on Tuesday, March 4, at 6:30 pm, at the San-tiam Elementary School library. The meeting is specifically for Mill City Neighborhood Watch organizations. The purpose will be to review the status of our joint crime reduction efforts since Oc-
tober, identify issues or concerns, and develop an updated focus go-ing forward. A narcotics detective and the captain over our patrol division will be presenting at this meeting West Spring Street started the year right, by forming a Neigh-borhood Watch group. Twelve
c o m m u n i t y m e m b e r s from the same neighborhood attended and got acquainted recently They shared con-cerns and ideas and they hope to have a posi-tive impact on the community.
Yvonne Hanna is a block captain for this group.”We were instructed to keep the group small and effective, but we hope to inspire the east end of the street to start a group, and maybe combine some of the neighbor-hood activities,” Said Hanna. They also plan to be involved in the larger effort within Mill City including attending the March 4th meeting.This group was the fifth one to start up in the area, with one more preparing to set a date as well. Jim Lepin from Linn County went over the guidelines and also shared crime figures from the last 6 months at the West Spring St. meeting. Here are some high-lights:--We are receiving calls of suspi-
cious activities into dispatch - 15 so far. Prior to this effort, we rare-ly got this type of call.--We have had a saturation patrol with two additional deputies. We will have more. This is directly tied to the work we are doing.--There have been arrests and one person remains in jail for multiple counts. --We continue to get 2 to 3 calls per day. We had reports yester-day of 2 thefts and a burglary. We have work to do and this problem will take time.--Calls into dispatch come from all over town. Since we began our work, two calls have come from Spring St.: 1 for mail theft and 1 reporting a suspicious vehicle.

still only .75 cents
By Michelle Gates If you live in Detroit, you find out pretty quickly that the best club to belong to is the North Santiam Snow-mobile Club. The even better part? You don’t have to own a snowmobile to join. In fact, only 7 peo-ple actually do. But that’s not the point of the club - it’s best known for it’s so-cial gatherings in the town of just 200 full time residents. But just how do you keep track of your fellow mem-bers? Why, you buy a club calendar, of course. It’s a tidy conglomeration of lo-cal birthdays and other area events, for just $7. “I like to highlight the birthdays that I like to remember,” said former project coordinator Yvonne Hills. “It’s an easy way to remind myself to send them a card.” The calendar was started back in the 80’s by Verna Ketchum and has since be-
come an annual tradition, as well as an annual fundraiser for the club. They usually clear around $800, said Yvonne Hills. This year, the calendar was a collaboration of efforts.
Former coordinator Yvonne Hills helped Sharon & Ter-ry Bonnett take over the project. Between them, it took nearly 85 hours to put it together. They started on the calendar in June of last year and six months later, they showcased them at the club’s Christmas potluck. The cover image changes every year, and this year, an image of Boca Cave seemed the most appropriate, since
it’s one of the closest attrac-tions to the club’s warming hut on McCoy Creek Road, said Sharon Bonnett. Her son Rick Overman captured the shot, which frames Mt. Jefferson from inside the
cave. “It’s such a beau-tiful picture,” said Bon-nett. On the first page of the calendar, most of the actual snowmobile-owning members of the club are pictured: Sha-ron, Yvonne and Har-old Hills, and Keith and Anita Munn (and one mystery rider). It also re-minds people of events,
like the annual Paulina ride on January 31. “Anyone can join the club, from anywhere across the canyon,” said Yvonne Hills. And you don’t have to be a member to buy a calen-dar, either. Pick one up at Detroit Market, Mt. High Grocery or the Korner Post. And do what Sharon Bon-nett did: “I gave one to all my kids!”
