In the wake of the last week’s flooding, residents of the upper North Santiam Can-yon are counting their blessings while less fortunate neighbors in the valley com-mence clean up and start to rebuild. The City of Turner, was especially hit hard, with a reported over 100 homes with damage and at least 30-50 homes with se-rious internal damage. “No one was hurt - no lives lost,” said Tina Huff, Municipal Court Clerk for the City of Turner. “But people are still under stress and sandbag help is still needed.” With reports that the rains will continue this week, people are feeling threatened and currently sand bagging their homes in fear of more extensive and wide spread flooding, said Huff. The victims of the flooding in Turner are also in need of ma-terials to repair their homes, basic person-al care items and food (the food bank also was damaged). When an official state of emergency was declared in Turner and all residents were urged to evacuate, Turner Retirement Homes (TRH) reached out to Marian Estates in Sublimity in hopes of finding emergency placement for their displaced senior citizens. A Marion County Sher-
iff’s bus, along with a school bus load of 60, evacuated TRH residents and nine staff to Marian Estates on Feb 18. The residents were able to return to their home in Turner on Tuesday afternoon. While they were gone, two complexes at TRH were “completely flooded,” according to Tina Huff. Siegmund Excavation in Mehama, handed out close to 150 free sand bags, and a big flashing red sign pointed the way for those seeking help fast. “We’re planning on keeping bags available free to the public throughout the remainder of the rainy season, so if you think you need some, please stop by,” said Andrew Sieg-mund. Sand is also available at the Lyons Fire Department. The further up into the hills, the less reports of water threats. Leland Orht, the fire chief at Mill City Fire Department, said that the department did not receive any flood related calls over the weekend. However, at least one Gates family did have to evacuate their home the night of January 18. Charla Raven gathered up her son and mother upon realizing a nearby creek was going to flow over their culvert. Last year, the flooding

It’s Cowboy Feasting Time in Detroit
Detroit and Idanha locals gathered last Saturday to celebrate their annual Cow-boy Thanksgiving, called that because it was traditionally the time of year that cowboys had time to eat - after calving season ended. Usually, the event is held outdoors at a local resident’s barn. But this year, flood-ing drove the group to Cedars Restaurant where they enjoyed a community potluck and music by Prairie Dog Brain Trust.
Top: The buffet style potluck included salmon, prime rib, and roasted pig. Bottom: Prairie Dog
Brain Trust cranked out some of their self de-scribed “Mountain Stompin, Beer Spillin, Redneck
Hippie Country” tunes throughout the evening. Their mission? “Sharing positive energy through
the power of music.”

caused damage to her property, and to her neighbors. “We felt lucky to find a hotel that would take us all in,” said Raven who brought 7 pets along with her family. The next morning, neighbors began calling to notify them that the creek had torn a large crevice in their drive-way and flowed through their prop-erty, dredging a fifty foot long section of land. The family was able to return home 2 days later, after the water re-ceded back into the creek bed. Their driveway remains badly damaged, and impassable in the family car. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is monitoring river levels in the valley and releasing water from Detroit Reservoir to keep it ready for additional rainfall. The reservoir was 45 percent full Mon-day. Detroit Dam was releasing 10,060 cubic feet of water per second and tak-ing in 6,033 cubic feet per second. Last
Friday, the Army Corps cut the amount of water being released to 560 cubic feet because of flooding.
How you can help: Many Turner residents did not have flood insurance, as it was not required. Families affected are in need of basic home building supplies: installation, drywall, flooring, carpeting, etc. The City of Turner is accepting cash dona-tions and will match the first $10,000 donated to help families that did not have flood insurance. Info: City of Turner, 503-743-2155. A donation collection site has been set up at The Historic Tabernacle build-ing on Marion St. in Turner. Hours: 9am-5pm through Saturday, with more hours announced as available. “The generosity has been overwhelming. It has increased my heart three sizes by watching all the people that just want to help,” said Tina Huff.

Clockwise from left: The flooding at Charla Raven’s house in Gates washed the driveway out. In Stayton, Hwy 22
was closed due to high water. In Mehama, the creek near Gene’s Meat Market almost topped the bridge. In Lyons, the Corner Market almost saw water at their front door,
saved only by strategically placed gravel.
Flood information for Linn County residents Contact information for flood victims is available on the City of Mill City website home page. If you have dam-age related to the recent flooding re-view this information as soon as possi-ble. Deadline to report initial damage is this Friday, January 27, 2012.

Water Levels for Detroit Lake: Due to unusually dry weather in De-cember, the Detroit Reservoir level fell below the normal minimum winter el-evation of 1450 feet for 17 days. Dur-ing this time, the winter boat ramp was unusable. While below minimum pool, the Corps used water from Detroit Res-ervoir’s “hydropower pool” to continue releasing at least 1200 cfs into the North Santiam River. These minimum flows are specified in the Willamette Basin Biological Opinion as critical during the salmon egg incubation period. Rain during the last few days of De-cember quickly re-filled the reservoir to minimum pool and additional water was stored to control flooding down-stream. It is too early to predict what summer water levels will be for Detroit Lake. Despite the dry start for this win-ter, seasonal forecasts are still showing above average precipitation related to the La Nina weather pattern. Throughout the winter and spring, the Corps will continue to maintain water levels close to rule curve unless man-aging for downstream water events. On Feb1, they will begin gradually filling the reservoir with the goal of reaching maximum conservation pool in early May. To view current Willamette Val-ley reservoir water levels: http://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/water/home_lev-els.asp
Biological Opinion Update: During 2012-2013, the USGS will be conducting a study of the movements of juvenile fish in the reservoir and through the dam to help inform deci-sions about future downstream passage solutions. During February 13-17, the road over Detroit Dam will be closed while a team removes research equip-ment from the dam and installs new equipment.
Minto Fish Facility Construction: The Minto Fish Facility is currently under construction to improve adult fish passage and fish hatchery opera-tions on the N. Santiam River. To keep boaters out of the construction area, the
OSMB closed the river from Niagara Park to Packsaddle Park from January 2011 to May 2013. The construction should have no impact on Detroit Lake water levels.
Status of Big Cliff Dam Repairs: Construction to strengthen the spill-way gates will begin in April or May of 2012. Repairs will be made one gate at a time. We may not get all three gates repaired in 2012. Lake level restric-tion will continue at least through the summer of 2012. The boat ramp will remain closed, except for boats that can be carried to the water. Note: The road along Big Cliff Reservoir (that leads to the Detroit Powerhouse) is cur-rently closed beyond the Big Cliff Boat Ramp. Crews are cleaning up an oil spill that originated from a tanker truck accident that occurred on the highway in Nov. There is no estimated time of completion for the clean-up. Fishermen may still access the shoreline below the road closure. For more information: Christie John-son, USACE Willamette Valley Project Outreach Specialist, 541-942-5631, [email protected]
From the Federal Lakes Recreation Committee Detroit Lake meeting: We had 24 people attending. The Or-egon Marine Board presented a power point on evasive critters and plants, and the new state laws that have boats com-ing in from out of state subject to in-spection. Lets hope the Zebra mussels and other noxious aquatic weeds do not make it to our lakes. The USFS presented a letter of appre-ciation to two members of the Oregon National Guard for their above and be-yond efforts in getting the Piety Chan-nel project dug despite weather related problems (mud & more mud) they ran into. We now have a deeper draft while in between the bouys. We hope to have more of the Guard at the April meeting so more of the FLRCDL members can say THANKS for their efforts. Next FLRCDL meeting is set for April 18, 2012
US Army Corps of Engineers updateThe following is a brief provided to the Federal Lakes Recreation Committee
Detroit Lake on January 19, 2012. Water levels have changed since then.

“We are so fortunate to have Ark Ani-mal Care in Mill City! Last week, my oldest dog, Hope, decided she needed to chew up some hard plastic and pro-ceeded to swallow all the pieces. I sent a message to Keri Sanders at Ark Animal Care on Facebook - after they had closed for the day. She messaged back right away that evening and gave
me some things to try before we were able to get in to office the next day. The advice and care we received was not about what was the best for their bot-tom line, but what was best for Hope! AMAZING service! I will be a loyal fan forever! Thank you to EVERY-ONE at Ark Animal Care!”

Idanha/Detroit Fire to hold community
update meetings The Idanha-Detroit Rural Fire Protection District will be holding an important com-munity update about area fire district & ambulance service on Saturday, Jan 28 at 6:30pm at Detroit City Hall. Fire Chief Jim Trett will bring residents up to date on the status of the fire district & ambulance service. This meeting is very important to all residents - not only for protection, but also because of a po-tential home owner’s insurance premium increase. “One way or the other we will end up paying,” said Robert Franz, Of-ficer with DLRABA. “Fire Chief Trett will present us with our current situation and tell us about some of our options. All Idanha & Detroit property owners should attend this meeting.” The Detroit Lake Recreation Area Busi-ness Association is helping spread the word about these two meetings as a public service. This meeting will be repeated on Sunday, January 29 at 2pm at the Idanha City Hall.
American Legion veteran’s group
streamlines services The Mill City American Legion Veter-an’s Outreach program has been changed and will no longer be an event taking place once a month at the Canyon Senior Cen-ter location. This change has been made primarily because of scheduling conflicts with various veterans’ agencies in Salem. Outreach coordinators would like to thank Giovanni’s Mountain Pizza for the sup-port they gave during this phase of the program. We will now be attempting to provide personal attention to any veteran needing to connect with those agencies providing services, like phone contact information, transportation or emergency food bas-kets. We especially want to hear from the homeless vet. The American Legion is a group of veterans providing services to veterans. If you’re a veteran and in need of help, please contact: Tom White at 503-897-2139; Jan Jones at 503-559-3352; Jim Gulliford at 503-897-2872; Barb Thomas at 503-897-2594. We will make every effort to assist the veteran in getting connected with agen-cies providing those services they have earned. The American Legion Post 159 844 S. First Ave Mill City, Oregon 97360

Thanks to Cedars Restaurant in Detroit, Mari-Linn 6th grade Out-door School is one getting closer to funding their annual trip. Last week, parent Veronica Gates re-ceived a phone call from Jessie Kiefer, the manager of Cedars, who told her that the group was welcome to all of their recyclable returnables as long as the program needed them. So later that day, Veronica, her daughter Trinity Saunders and friend Kayla Ritchie, all from Ly-ons, made the trip to Detroit - and came home with a pick-up bed full of cans and bottles, some of which came from the recent Cow-boy Thanksgiving held at the restau-
rant. “We get lots of cans of bottles and we figured, hey lets give them to the kids and send them to out-door school,” said Kiefer. Mari-Linn Outdoor School will use the donated funds to send approx. 30 students to an OMSI organized program at Camp Atti-tude in Sweet Home. The group needs to raise $9000 for the trip and continues to seek donations. Please drop your clean cans and bottles at Mari-Linn School during school hours. To schedule a pick-up, call Veronica at 541-619-7416 or email [email protected]. (Special thanks to Mrs. Bettman for lead-ing the group.)
Burns Ford donates 2011 Trail Boss at cost to help
fund 2012 drug & alcohol free
graduation party
The parents of the Class of 2012 are holding a raffle drawing for a 2011 Polaris Trail Boss quad. This is a fun-draiser for the Drug and Alcohol Free Grad Night Party. Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased at the San-tiam Canyon School District office or at Mill City U.S. Bank. Only 300 tickets will be sold, so the odds may well be in your favor! The drawing will be held by March 31 and you don’t have to be present to win. You must be 18 years of age to purchase tickets, however, and taxes will be the respon-sibility of the winner. Burns Ford is providing the quad to us at cost. Thank you for helping provide a safe and memorable night for our Santiam graduates.

It rained so hard last week that Detroit Lake level increased 36 feet. The lake can still hold 55 feet of more rain and snow melt, so downstream communities have some flood protection. Lit-tle Meadows snow gauge went from 14 inches, up to 55 inches and is back down to 38. When Little Meadows was at 14 inch-es, the agency people said we had 30% of normal snowpack. If we considered only that gaug-ing station and did the math, we would now have 47% of normal. However, other gauging stations must be considered to get a good sample. It is too early in the snow and rain season to make good judgments. We can plan on stability in late May or early June, but we should still have several days of dry days most weeks when condi-tions are favorable. Fish will start to be active again when the water drops, clears up a little, and warms up. It is true that there are fish hanging around some locations, and they
are available but they are not hyper-active until they are hooked. Salmon spawned last Fall, and it is now time for the eggs to hatch and fry to be emerging from the spawning beds and they will try to find quiet water to live in while they grow and gain strength. Many of the backwaters and lagoons will be full of them. Steelheaders Salem Chapter is planning for Spring activities, includ-ing clean ups at Minto Park and fishing day events for youth. There are some fishing clin-ics available, both at the meet-ings and on the river. The first of the “Learn the River” trips is scheduled for the first Saturday in March. We drift from Green’s Bridge to the I-5 Santiam Rest Stop. Questions will be answered at Steelheaders, River Guides, and Watershed Council meetings in February.

Press release - Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller reports that his detectives have arrested a man who assaulted his twin 3 month old daughters. On Friday after-noon Corey Michael Repucci, 22, of Lyons, was arrested for As-sault 1, two counts of Assault 3, and Criminal Mistreatment 1. He was booked into the Linn County Jail and then released after post-ing bail. The investigation revealed the infant’s injuries included multiple sub-dermal hematomas (brain bleeding), multiple rib fractures, a fractured right leg and fractured right arm. The child, Chiara Re-pucci, was examined at Santiam Memorial Hospital in Stayton when her parents took her in for breathing problems. She was then
transferred to Dornbecker’s Hos-pital in Portland. She has been admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Her condition is stable. Detectives suspect the brain injuries indicate Chiara was vio-lently shaken and the fractured ribs were caused by blunt force trauma to her body. Further in-formation from physicians is ex-pected later this week. Chiara’a twin sister, Aliyah, was also examined and was found to have multiple fractured ribs and a fractured left leg. Both children were taken into custody by Or-egon DHS; however Chiara re-mains hospitalized at Dornbeck-er’s Hospital. Repucci’s court appearance is scheduled for Feb-ruary 8, 2012 at 1:15 pm in Linn County Circuit Court.

Last week, The Canyon Weekly reported that the re-moval of oil contaminated soil from the Mill City City Hall build site could cost upwards of $60,000. This was incorrect. The estimated costs to have the contaminated soil (that has already been excavated) is between $75-90 per ton. With approximately 160 tons waiting under tarps, the current costs will be closer to $14,000 to have
it disposed of. The City of Mill City is seeking a grant through the Brownfield division of Business Oregon for $60,000 to cover these costs, and any future costs that might incur related to fu-ture soil testing at the site, and removal of ad-ditional contaminants found, if any. The exact costs of total site clean up can only be estimated at this point. The Canyon Weekly apologies for the error and any confusion it caused.

Detroit had a town hall meeting on Jan. 22 but it didn’t involve city council recalls or politics – it was all about medicine. On Jan. 21 and 22, Dr. Pamela Wible, a Eugene, Ore. physician and founder of the Ideal Clinic, brought 11 doctors and a film crew to the town of approximately 250 residents to discuss healthcare and the special needs in rural communities. She is producing a documentary about healthcare to encourage physicians from around the nation to consider changes in doctor-patient relationships and the ways medicine is practiced in the United States. During a breakfast with the physicians, Detroit resident Stephen Galbraith spoke about the need for a physician in Detroit. He lived in the Detroit during the 1980s,
the last time there was a medi-cal clinic in the community. “If you had the flu or another illness you could call him and go to the clinic or he would meet you,” he said. “You didn’t need to get in your automobile and make all those appointments and drive down the canyon.” When he heard about the op-portunity to share his view for the documentary, Galbraith said it was important for him to be at the meeting. “I want these doc-tors to know there are rural towns like Detroit all over America that need docs,” he said. Production on the documentary started in October and is being filmed in rural com-
munities across the nation. It will feature conversations between residents and physi-cians and showcase the need for reform in the medical system that goes deeper than the national healthcare fight. For Wible, the mes-sage of the docu-mentary is critical on another level. On av-erage, one physician a day commits suicide and more than 60 per-cent are considering leaving the medical profession. By con-necting with a com-munity and asking pa-tients what they desire in a medical clinic, she
said physicians will have the ability to live a nearly stress free life and still make a good living. “A lot of people know there is an an-swer besides waiting for the next election cycle or waiting for politicians to come to them,” Wible said. “Local community problems can be easily solved within the community. This demonstrates to doctors and communities that this is possible in healthcare.”
