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: https://www.facebook.com/groups/59714118193/. The low cost to participation makes it ac-cessible to everyone. Skateboarding is inex-pensive and is economically feasible to any family’s financial situation. While hand-me-down equipment is commonplace, even a new skateboard can be purchased for

around $60 and last for years if taken care of. That’s all a person needs, plus helmet and knee and elbow pads. There is no addi-tional equipment, no “green fees”, no travel expenses. To get into skateboarding one only needs a place to do it. Thousands of other communities under-stand the value of skateparks. If they had the opportunity to do it again, when asked what they might have done differently with their skateparks, many Parks directors claim they would have made the skatepark larger. When skateparks are designed to succeed, they succeed wildly. If you con-tact any Parks Department with a success-ful skatepark, they will rank it as one of their most popular, well-used facilities.

technology must be a key component of the learning. We are excited to get this federal grant and put it to use to increase student engagement and achievement.” Additionally, the district “found that there was another unknown amount of $20,000 from last school year,” said Miller. “I am thankful for our wonderful com-munity and support. We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to look forward to. To all our parents, volunteers, supporters and donors, thank you for all you do to improve the lives of the students of the Santiam Canyon.”

Superintendent Miller wrote: “As my first year back in the Santiam Canyon winds down, I reflect upon the generous support we have received from our staff, parents, businesses and community. We all recognize how important education is to our students and the greater community. Healthy schools lead to healthy communi-ties. This united effort is paying dividends in our school culture, student achievement and program options. We are looking into some innovative new programs to offer next year as we continue to find ways to improve our learning environment and stu-dent supports.”

out the nearest contender by almost 2 feet The state record for the women’s shot put in 2A schools is 40’, set in 2011 by a student from Canyonville. Kara Conner, a junior at San-tiam, earned at third place medal in the javelin with a throw of 1 0 9 ’ - 0 8 ” . M c K e n n a

Clinic for fun and prizes at Hoover Camp-ground on June 7 from 10am-2pm, said Wil-lammete National Forest officials. “If they are big enough to hold a pole, they are old enough to fish!” Kids 18 or under are invited

to fish Detroit Lake from the pier or by boat while kids under 11 can fish from a small pond. There will also be a fish

painting booth and lunch will be provided by the Oregon Paralyzed Veterans of America, said organizers. “This event includes edu-cational value, fun and prizes and is wheel-

chair accessible.” Hoover Campground is located on Blowout Road, 2 miles east of the town of Detroit. It’s part of the state’s free fishing weekend on June 7-8. Once a year, ODFW offers Oregon residents and visitors a full weekend to fish, crab and clam without a license, anywhere in the state.

By Allison McKenzie On Thursday, June 5 from 8 –9:30am at Trexler Farm we areholding the inaugural meeting of Young Professionals in our area. This is a new group for entrepre-neurs, key employees and civic lead-ers (under age 40) who are serious about their careers and businesses and want to meet and build relation-ships with other young profession-als in GROW’s service area (living or working from Aumsville/Scio to Marion Forks). Everyone will have an opportunity to introduce them-selves and their business or non-profit, we’ll do some speed network-ing, and we’ll talk about some ideas this group has for connecting and growing professionally together. After talking with some of our younger entrepreneurs and business-people earlier this spring, GROW decided it was time to create an op-portunity for young professionals to get together and meet each other. We see growing energy among this age group, and a sincere desire to con-nect with each other to improve their businesses, careers and communities – and have some fun doing it. Theseare our up-and-coming business and community leaders (some are already!), but they haven’t had a fo-rum to speak together with one voice or come together to network with and learn from each other. This new group will provide that opportunity. Our hope is that making connec-tions between folks in this age group will inspire larger projects region-wide, further anchor the investment these young people have made in our communities, and provide an active forum for them to do business their way while bringing a fresh perspec-tive to economic development in our area.

Press release - Word’s Out Public Relations (PR) opened an office in Stayton at 617 N. 2nd on May 1st. Nicole Miller, public rela-tions consultant and principal PR strategist, established the company in 2005 and has seen substantial growth as she continues to take on projects from clients around Oregon. The Stayton office will serve as the business head-quarters, a location Miller considers central to all of her business needs. Miller graduated from Westview High School in (Portland), Ore. in 1998, and continued to the University of Oregon School of Journal-ism and Communications, where she focused on Public Relations and graduated in 2001. In 2005, she became an independent contractor and began doing national publicity campaigns and copywriting for local businesses. This work eventually grew into the business Word’s Out PR. In addition to being the sole proprietor of Word’s Out PR, Miller also serves on the board of the Oregon Capital Chapter of the PRSA. She is a resource board member of GROW EDC, the local economic development organization that offers free, con-fidential, one-on-one business coaching to any entrepreneur in the Santiam Canyon who wants to open, expand or improve a

business. Word’s Out is also a member of the both the Stayton/Sublimity and North San-tiam Chambers of Commerce, as well as the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA). Miller is incredibly passionate about helping others, which shows in her work. “The most rewarding aspect of being involved in public relations is helping to share my clients’ in-credible stories that might otherwise not be known,” she says. At Word’s Out PR, Miller has numerous clients she serves across differ-ent industry sectors. Currently, she has con-tracts with Regis High School, St. Mary Cath-olic School, Trexler Farm, Class Act Events, for Must See Oregon, Dr. Louisa Silva of Qigong Sensory Training Institute, Western Oregon University, Fresh to You Produce, as well as local political figures and non-profit

organizations. Miller is working on earning her Accredita-tion in Public Relations (APR) this summer through the PRSA. The APR is a credential to recognize practitioners who have mastered the knowledge, skills and abilities needed to deliver strategic communications. In addition, Miller says the business is growing, “I cur-rently have proposals and contracts out with six different potential clients, ranging from construction firms to surgeons. I will need to hire people who are skilled writers as inde-pendent contractors.” Nicole is married to Todd Miller, who is Superintendent and Elementary Principal at Santiam Canyon School District in Mill City. They reside in Gates and have two daughters: Julia, 9 and Noelle, 5.

With the weather warming the Sheriff’s Office is seeing an increase in the use of our waterways. With the increase in usage come some obvious safety concerns for our boaters and swimmers. One disturbing trend is an increase in aban-doned boats being set adrift in our rivers. These boats cause an immediate hazard to swim-mers and boaters but they also draw an emergency response from law enforcement and fire officials. According to Marine

Patrol sergeant Shane Burn-ham, “We have to treat these incidents like an emergency; it could be a boater in distress.” Because of the drain these in-cidents place on resources and the cost to tax payers, the Sher-iff’s Office would like to take the time and remind the public to discard their old boats ap-propriately. Sergeant Burnham suggests calling your local auto recycler for assistance. If you are caught setting a boat adrift with the intent to abandon

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” That’s the big question that each of us ponder in our younger years. By the time we approach our high school years that same question takes on a more serious tone. And many times, deciding exactly what it is we want to do, can do and aspire to do seems overwhelming. Debbie Fawcett is the business teacher at Santiam Junior/Senior High and a 1982 Santiam Alumni. She, along with her 12 Business Man-agement students have been creating a program called S.A.V.E.S. or San-tiam Alumni Virtually Empowering Students. Fawcett’s class is incorporating hands on business experience creat-ing databases and spreadsheets of past Santi-am Alumni. Each student chooses an alumni year to research using old high school annu-als and online tools. Their quest is to make contact with as many past Santiam graduates as possible. The goal of this program is to create a virtu-al mentoring experience, which matches cur-rent students to a former students, employee or spouse, that works in the same field the student is considering pursuing. Students will be able to see what a day in "career life" looks like.They will ask ques-tions such as, “How did you get to where you are today? What advice would you give me to pursue a similar path? What classes should I take while in high school? What colleges might I consider?” Mentors from all career paths are encour-aged to participate. Says Fawcett: “We want all kinds of jobs.

For example, if it's logging, what kind of skills make the best logger? What are the best jobs in logging? If you could do it all over again, would you? Given that it’s next to impossible for students to mentor in all the various fields out there, I thought why not virtually con-nect these students to alumni? My hope is that it will inspire, encourage and moti-vate them to want to follow their dreams.” Fawcett hopes that it will be equally re-warding for the men-tors. Currently her stu-dents are pouring through the annuals, seeking online con-nections using social

media and sending out invitations to all the past students they can locate….and they are having a blast doing it. For instance, Andrew Grenbemmer and Kylie McGregor chose to re-search graduates from Detroit in 1992 and 1993, partially to con-nect with a now well known country music performer, Scotty Al-exander. “I just really like seeing how everyone looked back then, all the hair and clothes,”

said McKenzie Flatman, who is researching the class of 1980, the year her father Dennis graduated. If you would like to participate as a mentor, please contact Debbie Fawcett at Santiam High at 503-897-2311.
