Gale Holfert, candidate My Name is Gale Holfert. I am a can-didate for School Board Position #1 Zone #1. I am a taxpayer and a homeowner and have lived in the Lyons/Mill City area since 2002. I am a retired educator. My wife and I are parents and grand-parents who believe in quality school and education. Since retiring from 28 years of public education I have been a facilities volun-teer in Corvallis High Schools for four years. I supervised college student-teach-ers at Oregon State and Western Oregon Universities. During the 2012 school year I was an as-sistant volunteer coach with the Santiam High School track team. It was a fun re-turn to being with students again for me! Great kids! I realize I have a steep learn-ing curve ahead if I am successful being elected as a School Board member. I believe I am a sincere listener and I am committed to doing my best for support-ing our students, teachers, principals and
superintendent. Some of my priorities are:*Trying to foster a positive learning envi-ronment in our schools.*Encourage strong support and commu-nication between teachers, students and parents.*Seek creative sources of funding.*Do My best to contribute to a positive rapport with the community. My Personal Work History:*Worked summers during college years as a logger and commercial fisherman.*Earned Bachelors degree in Elementary Education and 16 years as an Elementary and Middle School teacher.*Earned Masters degree in Elementary Education and Administration and 10 years as an elementary school principal in Alaska.*Commercial crab and salmon fisherman summers in Alaska. I will do my best to be a contributing team member if elected. I will appreciate your vote!

Yvonne Hanna, candidate As candidate for Santiam Canyon School Board Zone 1 Position 1, my goal is to work hard and constructively to improve the image of our local schools. A collaborative effort must be made to improve the state of our schools and the state of our community. The impact we have in our student’s lives today will directly impact the future of the Canyon. These past few years have been difficult for our schools. If elected I plan to collaborate with board members, staff and community on a workable strategic plan. A solid focused vi-sion is needed to leverage the resources we do have. In these tough economic times and the cuts we’ve already endured, we need to seek the most effective use of our tax dollars. I have been actively involved in following the decisions of our local School Board by regu-larly attending meetings and helping to orga-nize groups to discuss the future of our schools. This valuable experience motivated me to run for school board and help influence the policy decisions of the district. I’m a Santiam gradu-ate. I’ve served in the U.S. Army. I received my B.S. in Business Administration from City Uni-versity. I am an alumnus of the Ford Institute for Leadership. I’ve worked in administration, accounting and human resources. For the past 10 years I’ve been employed with the state and currently work as an Analyst. Past/Present volunteer activities with: Canyon Catalysts, GMCLAT, MC Budget Committee, MC Fire Dept Budget Committee, Girl Scouts, 4-H, MC Christian Church, Hearts to Arts. Finally, I am honored to be the mother of two children who attend our schools and deserve the best education we can offer. Please consider my experience and passion for our schools and our community as you place your vote for school
board this May.
Roberta Beldon, candidate My name is Roberta Beldon, I am one of many that will be running for a position that is open-ing on the Santiam School Board. A little about me; I have lived in Mill City for the past twelve years, I am a member of the Mill City Baptist Church and I am the volunteer coordinator for the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). I have two children, which have attended school here. My son graduated last year from Santiam High and my daughter is in fourth grade. My main purpose is to be the voice for the students. These kids have to live with and deal with the decisions that we as adults make ev-ery day. The younger citizens of our commu-nity deserve the right to have their education be protected. My goal, if elected, is to work with the other members of this board along with the staff of each school to make sure that all the decisions being made have the children and our schools best interest. My mission is to bring our School District and our community together and move for-ward. We have so much to offer here we just need to figure out how to make it known. By working together we can make this happen. Our children have the right to an education and the right to know that they will get the education they need to be productive citizens. We need to work toward restoring the pro-grams that have had to be eliminated and gain new ones that will benefit our district and our community. I will be the first to say that I am not a politi-cian, nor will I become a politician, but, I am wholeheartedly promising to uphold the pow-er of our education system for our present and future students.

When it comes to giving back, the Mill City Lions Club has taken it to a whole new level. They’re so dedicated to the community that some of the 14 members and their families will be spending a few hours next month cleaning up Highway 22 between Gates and Mill City on May 8. In groups of two, they’ll put on their safety vests and team up with the highway department in the name of community beautification. They don’t do it for the money. And there certainly isn’t any glory. They do it because that’s just how it works around here. “It’s like a family gathering along the roadside,” said Lions Club Treasurer Sandy Lyness. “It’s re-ally amazing how our members will bring their families to help.” The clean-up efforts happen rain or shine, said Lyness, which may ex-plain why this decade long tradition led the group to officially adopt the “Boener Award”. No, it’s not a real bone - it’s a bone replica, attached to a wood plaque that’s awarded to the person who tops the year with the goofiest blunder. The bone plaque was created by member Dan Lemke and was originally awarded to Harold Boener, who tumbled off the side of the road and through some blackberries dur-ing one of the early highway clean-up efforts. This year, the award went to Marlee Clark for a minor ticket slip up. Last year, member Kathy Kindred held the title. Recipients of the “Boener Award” are rec-ognized, and earn their notoriety, at the Lions Club annual Sweetheart’s Dinner, said Sandy Lyness, a tradition that in itself has gained widespread respect for raising money for lo-cal causes. In reality, that’s what the Lions Club is all about, said Lyness. “We really to want to keep everything we do in our community.” Last February’s Sweetheart’s Dinner raised over $4,000 for student scholarships, and the group has already committed another $500 to Santiam Elementary School’s new play-ground. They also work with the national Lions Club groups to bring higher level services to the Santiam Canyon. One of those programs is the health screening van, which travels to
communities like ours to help low income people get free vision and hearing tests. Vision health plays a big part in the history of the local Lions Club, said Lyness. “The vi-sion program was inspired by Helen Keller, and we used to do these ‘eye runs’,” which
is where members of the group pass a viable eye transplant - Pony Express-style - between volunteer Lions Club members in Bend, to the recipient in Portland. At the time, it was the fastest way for them to help. Now, the funds they raise in the lo-cal club are added to the national groups and these ‘eye runs’ have been updated to a orga-nization van with a dedicated goal of moving transplant organs. “Every penny we raise from the public must go back to the public, according to rules of the organization,” said Dan Lemke, the Li-ons Club Program Chair. They maintain zero overhead costs, and the group holds three ma-jor fundraisers a year: 4th of July Breakfast, Sweetheart’s Dinner and the community cal-endars, which they sell for an affordable $6 each. But more importantly than fundraisers are the people behind the scenes that keep this group going strong. For 66 years, these vol-unteers have been supporting the community for the broader good, and none of that could be done without the help of each individual person. “It’s what keeps us alive and strong,” said Lyness. “We’re always looking to add to our
family of dedicated members.” Potential members take note: this is not your average, boring meeting that you’re signing up for - this group values a little humor, and you’ll likely forget you’re a volunteer at their get-togethers.
“Our meetings are fun!” said Lyness. “We often play games, like bidding on wrapped items.... I came home with a miniature shopping cart that now sits on my kitchen counter as a napkin holder. And then there was the time of a sin-gle shoe still looking for the other.....” They also bring in speak-ers at their bi-weekly meet-ings to discuss topics like what the fish hatchery is working on, or upcoming FFA and other school fund-raisers, plus broader topics like diabetes awareness. “It all depends on what people are interested in,”
said Lyness. “We’re always open to sugges-tions.” Founded in 1947, the group meets twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays at 6:30pm at Mountain Edge Cafe on Hwy 22 in Mill City. The next meeting is scheduled for May 8, 2013 and there are no meetings in July and August. A minimal annual dues fee is required and members see that returned via discounted dinner options at the meetings, thanks to Cafe owners Dale and Mary Kirsch. All community members, 18 and over, are invited to apply to the Mill City Lions Club to help support their mission to create and foster the spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing volun-tary services through community involve-ment and international cooperation. Please call these members of the Mill City Lions Club for more information: Sandy Ly-ness 503-551-2645, Dan Lemke 503-897-3014 or Joe Uffelman 503-897-2324. Or feel free to stop and ask any of our oth-er current members: Kathy Kindred, San-dra Cooper, Jerry Johnson, Dale and Mary Kirsch, Linda and Banny Bannister, Grady McMahan, Marlee Clark, Curtis Hansen and Tim Kirsch.

Bill Sanderson’s River Report April 20, 2013 (503)897-3301
Steady river conditions have resulted in some good river trips recently and will allow for more as long as the weather cooperates, and that is a day to day thing this time of year. In the last two weeks, we have had Packsaddle flows of 1,140 up to 1,710 cubic feet per sec-ond.
Mehama depth has been between 4.1 feet and 5.3 feet. Both fishing trips and scenic trips can work well with this volume. Water temperature is still somewhat cold and has been staying close to 50 degrees the last few days. Air temperature, snowmelt, and rainfall will all have an effect on daily condi-tions. Many salmon and steelhead are waiting in the lower Willamette and Columbia Rivers for the temperature to increase before the big runs of Spring fish come upstream into the Willa-mette and Santiam River systems. Since May, June, and July are the biggest months for fish passage, the best is yet to come. Steelheaders Salem Chapter meets this Tues-day night at Keizer Community Center at 7:00 p.m. and Grant McOmie is the speaker. Grant
will have his brand new book available so this program will be especially timely. North Santiam River Guides Association meets on April 24, Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. at Neufeldt’s Diner in Aumsville. Upcom-ing Learn the River Trips will be discussed. The club members recently cleaned up trails at North Santiam State Park and had fishing demonstrations afterwards. Four big loads of debris were hauled off, and several downed trees and branches were removed. The park is now clear for hiking on the trails. The next “Learn the River” trip is scheduled for May 4 from Mehama to Stayton and boat-ers are invited to come along and follow our experienced leaders. If pre-arranged, there may be some open seats in a few of the boats for passengers.

Special thanks to the Detroit Can Can Girls & Guys, who donated a $1200 automated
external defibrillator (AED) machine to the Idanha Detroit Fire Department. An AED device automatically diagnoses potentially life threat-ening heart problems and allows the heart to
reestablish an effective rhythm through electrical therapy. The Can Can group collects
cans and bottles around the Detroit area.
Dress rehearsals are running smoothly for the Gates Fire Department fundrais-ing concert “Music in Bloom”. The musical selections will be per-formed by the cast of 40. Behind the scenes, volunteers have been working hard on publicity, stage construction, set decorations, and refreshments. “Our efforts are aimed at bringing the community together for an evening of fun,” said Committee member Nancy Swanson. “We hope to raise enough money for a defibrillator for the conven-
ing space in the hall, but we also want our audience to feel at the end of the evening that they have not only helped the community, but have been enter-tained as well.” A planning committee with Elise Burks, Cara Kelly, Linda Scheidel, Nancy Swanson, Dave White and Alexis Winn have overseen all the behind the scene planning that creates a successful show. A beer and wine no-host bar will be held at 6:30pm prior to each show. In addition, a variety of hor d'oeuvres will
be available. The social hour will give people a chance to relax and socialize before the concert begins. Members of the fire department have volunteered their efforts in many ways, including constructing and painting the temporary stage. Jim Scheidel will be running the light board, and Mike Boni-face will operate the sound system. The planning committee would like to thank the Gates Post Office, Kelly Lumber, and the Mill City Pharmacy for their help with ticket sales.
