Floyd and Opal Jensen, volunteer campground hosts at Fishermen’s Bend Recreation Site near Mill City have been awarded BLM’s national “Making a Dif-ference Lifetime Achievement Award,” for contribut-ing more than 17,000 hours of volunteer service at the park. “It’s the people we meet each day that keep us coming back,” said Floyd. For the past eleven years, Floyd and Opal have ar-rived at Fishermen’s Bend in early April to help prepare the park for opening. After the park opens, they greet and provide information to visitors, check in campers, sell firewood, keep the restrooms and campsites clean, train new hosts, and assist the park manager with the recycling program, volunteer youth groups, and invasive species removal. Floyd, a retired structural firefighter for 33 years, has used his wood working and mechanical skills to build cabinets, bird and bat houses, and to repair whatever needs to be fixed. In October, they help close the park, before driving their RV home to Merced, California where they spend the holidays with their family. A national ceremony will be held in Washington DC on May 29. Floyd and Opal will receive their award at BLM’s State Office in Portland, and they will partici-pate in the Washington DC ceremony via video con-nection.

Editor’s note: Election results are valid as of 8pm on May 20, 2014. Final results may take up to a week. By Michelle Gates

Linn Co. Law Enforcement Early results show that voters in Linn County approved to continue the exist-ing Law Enforcement Levy for another four years. According to election docu-ments, the levy will be used to restore services to the 2011 level and re-open 48 jail beds. Law enforcement services will be maintained until 2018. The tax levy will raise nearly $102,000,000 over four years, at a rate of $2.83 per $1,000 assessed value. 76% of the funds will go to the sheriff’s office, 10% to criminal prosecution, and 14% to juvenile offenders. Nearly 56% of voters supported the measure. With all but one of the pre-cincts counted, 11,168 voters said yes

and 7,205 voters said no.

Idanha-Detroit Fire District Early results show that voters in the Idanha-Detroit Rural Fire Protection District passed a measure to approve a nearly $215,000, five year tax to sup-port the fire district. The district requested the money from voters to maintain emergency op-erations. “The Board believes that the District’s fire and life safety response services are an important asset to our community and should be funded at an increased level so as to better serve our community,” according to the bal-lot statements. “Many of the District’s calls for service involve medical emer-gencies and motor vehicle accidents. (We) propose to use the new tax rev-enue to fund positions necessary to pro-vide safe staffing levels for emergency calls.”

Students at Mari-Linn School in Lyons may soon have some more healthful op-tions for lunch. That’s because the North Santiam School District is meeting in a few days to discuss changing their menu, in response to concerns from parents. Currently, menu options include items like pop tarts, donuts and sugary cere-als. One parent, Grady Hardage, wants to change that. She went to a recent meeting in hopes to move the district to action - and she did it by showing them exactly how much sugar is in these items, one

sugar packet at a time. Now, the district has scheduled a town hall style meeting on May 28 at 6:30pm at Stayton Elementary School (1155 N. Third Ave.) to address concerns about the quality and healthiness of the food served through their breakfast and lunch programs. The effort is organized in part by the Stay-ton Elementary Parent Teacher Club. Salad and rolls will be served by the NSSD Food Service staff at 6:15pm, prior to the forum. RSVP to Nancy Peterson at 503-769-6924.

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 sub-mitting reasons why she believes a skate park would be a good thing for any com-munity. The Mill City Skate Park Com-mittee meets at least each month and are announced on their Facebook page: Mill City Skate Park Project: https://www.

facebook.com/groups/59714118193/. A skatepark can attract skateboard-ing tourists if designed to do so. Dozens of skateparks in the United States--and abroad--enjoy a reputation for being places that skaters dream of visiting someday. For skaters, places like Burnside, Kettering, Orcas, Louisville, Black Pearl, Lincoln City, and others share an allure that rivals Disneyland.

With national health issues looming for today’s youth, it’s time to offer a greater number of healthy, athletic choices. You don’t often see obese skateboarders. Lots of skateboarders skate several times a week and often for hours at a time. There is clearly a commitment for these kids to de-velop their skills, yet they do this without coaches, leagues, and often without even an appropriate place to do it.

Schools to discuss removing sugary items from menu

Mari-Linn School may see healthier options, thanks to upcoming meeting between parent groups and North Santiam School District

The new tax will be $.68 per $1,000 of assessed value for district residents, gen-erating between $40,000-45,000 per year for the next five years. The district is divided into Linn and Marion Counties; nearly 54% (15 votes) of Linn County voters approved the mea-sure, and over 65% (56 votes) of Marion County voters approved.

Idanha City Charter Voters in the City of Idanha approved a measure to revise the city’s charter,

which would simplify and create gender neutral language, and clarify city council actions. It also removes the requirement that the voters of Idanha elect a Mayor every two years; instead, this measure re-turns the election requirements for Mayor/Council back to the original methods of the 1988 Charter, which allows City Council is to select a Mayor every two years. The city is divided into Linn and Marion Counties; over 64% (18 votes) of Linn County voters approved the measure, and exactly 50% (9 votes) of Marion County voters approved.

Coaches and community members are getting closer to building a press box at Santiam Canyon School District’s Davis Field, said project organizer and Head Football Coach Brad Emmert. “Everything is moving along incred-ibly well with the press box project,” said Emmert. “In fact, we are looking to pour the foundation and begin construc-tion within the next month.” The press box will be a 480 sq. ft cov-ered area above the bleachers where sports officials and coaches can get a better view of the action.“Coaches sit in the press box and watch for tendencies and play specifics of other teams,” said Emmert. “By not having this, we are not set up for optimum success. It’s like trying to run with one eye closed.” A press box is something that nearly ev-ery other school has, and now something that Santiam will have soon. It will be constructed without any school funding, and the group is in need of some small-

er items to complete the project: two rolls of 15 lb felt, three solid-core inte-rior doors, electrical outlets, two rolls of 12/2 Romex wire, four can lights or fluorescent lights, one roll housewrap or two more rolls of 15 lb felt, four Ca-det Heaters. To purchase or donate one or more of these items, please call Brad Emmert at 503-507-3955 or email brad.em-mert@santiam.k12.or.us. Special thanks to the following: Gale Holfert for volunteering a bunch of time for the project, Stacie Cook and the City of Mill City for all of their as-sistance with the project, Todd Miller, Ted Buck, and David Plotts with the Santiam Canyon School District, Da-vid Walczak with FarLine Bridge, Brad Mitchell as co-planner and mem-ber of Rogue Industrial Metalworks, Chuck Norman at Pacific Coast Elec-tric, and the leadership at Frank and Freres Lumber for their assistance in making this dream a reality.

Four Santiam High track students go to stateCoach: Spring sports season ends with “impressive results” by Santiam’s Junior High athletes, as well

at 4:30pm hosting Country Christian. Our se-niors will be honored before the game. JH Track ended last Tuesday (May 9) with some impressive results by individuals and teams: 5th grader Piper Morris took 4th place in

the 800 with a time of 3:13.98. 6th grader Brody Davidson had four 1st place victo-ries (100, 200, 400, and High Jump). 6th grader Liliana Lyness took 1st in the shot put (25’6.5”) Our 4 X 400 relay 7th grade ladies com-peted for the first time together and had a strong performance (Sophie Damon, Maddy White, Hannah Fencl, and Brittany Grenbemer).

8th grader Olivia Horning competed in four events and took a 1st in the long jump (13’1/2”), 2nd in the 200 (29.33), and 3rd in the 100 (14.27) There were a lot of personal records set. For example, 6th grader Colin Thurston improved in his high jump by 4 inches! It was a tremendous growing season for our junior high track stars. Santiam was also able to produce four student-athletes out of high school districts in Waldport (May 16-17) to qualify for the state track cham-pionships. They are: Senior Alisha Clark, shot put; Senior Kara Conner, javelin; Junior Timmy Hagen, high jump; Freshman McKenna Aerni, pole vault. They will be competing this Thursday and Fri-day (May 22-23) at the University of Oregon in Eugene. These students are a positive repre-sentation for Santiam High School. Well done!

Gleaners awarded $2,000 grant from

confederated tribesBy Susannah Musillami Canyon Gleaners in Mill City would like to extend our utmost thanks to The Confeder-ated Tribes of Siletz Indians for a grant in the amount of $2,000. This grant was received on May 2nd and will be used to purchase food for the program. We thoroughly appre-ciate this support of our program. Eliminate Hunger - Become a Gleaner! Gleaners are people with low incomes who participate in gathering donated foods for themselves and other low-income house-holds. For more than 30 years, CSC has provided support for the largest gleaning program in Oregon. Currently, the glean-ing program supplies more than two million pounds of nutritious food to nearly eight thousand individuals. How does gleaning work? Farmers, gro-cers and other donors call Linn Benton Food Share when they have surplus crops, bread, produce, and other foods to donate. Gleaners harvest these excess crops and pick up the donated foods. They also repack them into manageable portions and distribute them among members.Gleaners share fifty-fifty with their adoptee households. These are households where no one is able to glean because of health prob-lems or other serious limitations. Linn Benton Food Share’s gleaning pro-gram works side-by-side with farmers/growers and local grocers to keep good food

from going to waste. Last year, our Glean-ing Program collected and distributed more than two million pounds of unsold food and gleaned fruits and vegetables. Most of the households that received the nutritious food include children, disabled and elderly people. Wood Share is a component of the Gleaning Program, and shares donated fire-wood with gleaners and their adoptees who rely on wood for winter warmth. How can I become a gleaner? Fourteen gleaning groups are located throughout Linn and Benton counties. For more information on how to join Canyon Gleaners in Mill City, please contact Peggy or Gwen at 503-897-4031.

Mill City Garden Club tours succulents at North Fork home

By Wende Thomas The Mill City Garden Club was held at the lovely home of Allen & Patty Thompson of North Fork Rd. in Lyons on April 22. A beautiful menu of fruit and vegetables was served along with cookies, Hawaiian nuts, Punch and coffee. After eating a brief meet-ing was held with no new business discussed. We then toured Allen’s amazing gardens and greenhouse. Our Host gave a brief his-tory of his property, and struggles, with deer and drainage. Having the Old growth timber surrounding his property can offer a difficult set of challenges. Alan has overcome these while turning his property into a Sanctuary of pristine gardens, lush lawns, and beautiful water features. His landscapes rival any Bet-ter Homes and Garden photos. His true gift of artistry thru landscape is something you have to see to believe. Alan generously allowed each member to choose a start from his collections of rare succulents and bulbs. We were so thrilled to explore Allen’s little paradise, it felt as though we were in a Thomas Kinkade Painting. The next meeting will be held at the home of Whende Thomas on May 28 at 12:30pm. This will be our annual potluck meeting, so bring your favorite dish and join us. New members welcome; contact Presi-dent Betty Heald at 503-767-4123.

Oregon State Police (OSP) is continuing the investigation into Sunday afternoon’s fa-tal traffic crash on Highway 20 just east of the Santiam Summit. The highway was closed for several hours until injured persons were transported from the scene. Just after noon on May 18, a 2008 Ford Focus driven by Ellen D. Freddi, age 34, from Jefferson, was traveling eastbound on Highway 20/22 near milepost 81 when it lost control on the wet roadway and struck the guardrail on the south side of the high-way. The Ford continued into the westbound lane where it collided nearly head-on with a 2007 Honda Accord with four occupants. The Honda spun broadside and was struck in the driver’s side by a 2009 Toyota RAV sport utility vehicle with 2 occupants. The Honda’s driver, Joshua James Shepherd, age 33, from Mt. Angel, was pronounced de-ceased at the scene. Right front passenger/wife, Jennifer A. Shepherd, age 32, and two children, ages 4 and 1, were transported to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend. Jennifer Shepherd and her 4-year old son, Liam Shep-

herd, were both transferred by air ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and Ran-dall Children’s Hospital in Portland. They are both in respective intensive care units receiv-ing treatment. The one-year old daughter was reportedly not injured. Freddi and passengers Lindsey Hammons-Williams, age 29, and Vanessa D. Sil-va, age 31, also both from Jefferson, were transported to St. Charles Medi-cal Center in Bend. Injuries are be-lieve non-life threatening. Hammons-Williams was asleep in the rear seat and was not using safety restraints. She was ejected from the car. The Toyota RAV’s driver, Steven A. Warner, age 59, from Beaverton, and passenger Rosalie Warner, age 55, were treated at the scene but not taken to a hospital. Both reportedly went to a doctor for a medical exami-nation for minor injuries later. Initial information indicates all oth-ers listed were reportedly using safe-ty restraints. OSP was assisted at the scene by

Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District, ODOT, and medics from a National Guard until traveling through the area. OSP extends their thanks to the National Guard personnel and other citizens who stopped to help the injured at this tragic crash prior to the arrival of emergency first responders.

A child getting their haircut typ-ically isn’t a newsworthy event, but in the case of these two kin-dergartners from Santiam El-ementary, a haircut meant just a bit more. Cassidy Meier (pictured far right) is 5 years old and a student in Mrs. Brown’s class. Haylie Cole (pictured right) is 6 and in Mrs. Moberg’s class. Each girl chose to gut their long hair into a fashionable bob, and donate

their now detached ponytail to Locks of Love. According to their website: “Locks of Love is a public non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disad-vantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medi-cal hair loss from any diagno-sis.” They use the donated hair to create high quality, life like wigs for kids. Almost anyone

can donate, but the hair must be in a ponytail or braid and at least 10 inches long. Cassidy Meier says that she is very excited to be able to help out someone that doesn’t have hair. Same with Haylie, she ex-

pressed she was super excited to give her hair to a little girl somewhere who didn’t have any of her own, and her parents couldn’t afford a wig. For more information, visit www.locksoflove.org

Now is the perfect time to purchase a ductless mini-split system. Many tax rebate incentives available.

This week two residents of Oregon counties, Jackson and Josephine, voted to ban geneti-cally modified crops from be-ing planted in their boundaries. This vote was another blow to biotech giants, such as Mon-santo, as the disdain for their prescribed farming practice is growing worldwide. A few years ago, there were sixteen countries that had total or partial bans on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Now there are at least twenty-six, including Switzerland, Australia, Austria, China, India, France, Germany,

Hungary,Luxembourg, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy, Mexico and Russia. Kimberly Harp of Mill City is a mother of 3 and has a passion for educating people about the potential dangers in their foods. Over the past several years there has been a great increase in pub-lic awareness of GMO’s quietly being introduced into the world wide food supply, and with them a host of potential human and environmental health risks. Last year Harp learned of the first World Food Day, a global event to demand the labeling of GMO

foods, and she jumped on the chance to help. This year she is at the forefront again, orga-nizing efforts for a march on the state capital. “I want to raise awareness and educate people so they can choose for themselves whether its worth the risk of their health....their life and they health and lives of those they love. This call to duty for me is about having our rights back, our basic freedom of choice...,”says Harp. So, who/what is Monsanto and why should I care? Harp re-

sponds: “Monsanto is responsible for many cancerous chemi-cals and products including agent orange, DDT,PCB's, and more. The reckless use of these chemicals calls into question Monsanto's testing standards, lack of scientific rigor, disregard for the pre-cautionary principle, and dis-regard for human life and the ecosystem. In 2000 an open letter from World scientists to all govern-ments concerning Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) was signed by 828 scientists from 84 countries and detailed concerns regarding GMOs. It also called for a 5 year suspen-sion of all GMO crops in order to conduct a comprehensive query of agriculture and food security for all. On March 28th, 2013 the Monsanto Protection Act was signed into law by the US Government allowing Mon-santo to promote and plant GMOs and genetically engi-neered seeds' free from any judicial litigation that might decide the crops are unsafe. What's more are the substan-tial ties between key positions at Monsanto that also hold key positions with the FDA, EPA, and Supreme Courts. Not to mention, the Departments of

Commerce, Defense of State, White House, and the Social Se-curity Administration. Genetic engineering is a pro-cess where scientists take genes from one species and force it into the DNA of other species. Every single independent study conducted on the impact of ge-netically modified food shows that it damages organs, it causes infertility, it causes immune sys-tem failure, it causes holes in the GI tract, it causes multiple organ system failure. Monsanto told us that PCBs were safe and yet they were convicted of actually poisoning people in their hometown next to the PCB factory and were fined 7 hundred Million dollars. They told us agent orange was safe, that DDT was safe, and now they are in charge of telling us if their own GMO foods are safe because the FDA doesn't require a single safety study. The FDA leaves it to Monsanto. The use of GMOs is simply a risk that is not worth taking and they don't even give us a choice because they are not required to label the food products that are genetically modified.” Marches to demand the label-ling of GMO foods are taking place simultaneously world-wide this weekend. The website www.march-against-monsanto.com lists 365 organized march events around the globe. To join Kim Harp and others locally in Salem, meet at the State Capitol this Saturday, May 24 at noon.

Silver Falls State Park is set to play host to a grand opening celebration May 31, launch-ing the first "natural play" area for children ever constructed in an Oregon state park. The event will be held Saturday, May 31 from 10 am-noon at the North Falls Group Camp area. The event is open to the public. "Connecting kids to the outdoors is a criti-cally important thing to do, for a whole host of reasons," said Oregon Parks and Recre-ation Director (OPRD) Director Lisa Van-Laanen. "When you camp, picnic and play outdoors a lot as a child, it creates a lifelong love of the outdoors," she said. "And that's good for everybody." Natural play areas for children is a phe-nomenon that seems to resonate with park planners and parents in general. The concept reflects a growing worry that today's chil-dren suffer from "nature deficit disorder," a term coined by journalist and author Rich-ard Louv. His 2005 book, Last Child in the Woods, has sparked a nationwide discussion

about the decline of children's interaction with the natural world. What is a natural play area? It's a safe place for unstructured play, created to spark the imagination and encourage physical activity. At Silver Falls, this takes the form of a 1/4-mile loop of adventure pods. Kids can climb a tree, hide out in a cougar's "den," growl like a bear, weave a bird's nest, look for tracks, and see the world through the eyes of other animals. The new natural play area at Silver Falls was more than five years in the making. Plan-ners conducted several design workshops in 2008-2009, and trail construction began in 2010. The trail as it exists today represents Phase 1 of development, with the possibility of another pod within a year or so. The grand opening celebration offers guid-ed tours, refreshments, and a short ceremony with a symbolic tree planting. J.R. Beaver, the OPRD mascot, will be on hand. Parking fees at the North Falls Group Camp park-

ing lot will be waived for the duration of the event. Silver Falls State Park is located on Oregon 214 26 miles east of Salem. The Na-ture Play area is at the north end of the park. Signs are posted.

Mill City Fire: Keep your campfire from becoming a wildfire

Many Oregonians love the outdoors and no matter what the preferred recreational activity’ sitting around a campfire is one of the special times we all enjoy, During the summer, when humidity is low and wind is high, grass and debris can become tinder for a stray campfire ember. May is Wildfire Awareness Month and the Mill City Fire Department would like to share a few suggestions to help ensure that your campfire will be safe during the holiday week-end and throughout the summer: •Call before you go - Call your local forestry or fire district

Information about the Pacific Northwest’s wide array of wildflowers is just a swipe away with a new mobile app designed in part by botanists at Oregon State University. Available for iOS and Android devices, the Oregon Wildflowers app provides multime-dia and information on nearly 1,000 wild-flowers, shrubs and vines common in Ore-gon and adjacent areas in Idaho, Washington and California. For each plant, the app offers photographs, natural history, range maps and more. It works without an Internet connec-tion once downloaded. “You can use the app no matter how remote your wanderings may take you,” said Linda Hardison, the director of the Oregon Flora Project, an OSU effort to develop resources, like the new app, to help people learn about plants in Oregon. “It’s designed for both budding wildflow-er enthusiasts and experienced botanists to learn about plant communities and ecology

throughout the Pacific Northwest,” added Hardison, a botanist in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences. The majority of species featured in the app are native to the region, with some intro-duced species that have become established. Plants are organized by common name, sci-entific name or family, which app users can identify by browsing through high-resolu-tion photographs. To identify an unknown plant, users can select from 12 illustrated categories, which include geographic region, type of plant, flower features (color, number of petals), leaf features (type and shape), plant size and habitat. The app is available at Amazon, Apple and Google app stores for $7.99 and is compat-ible with all Android devices, Kindle Fire, iPhones and iPads. A portion of revenues will support conservation and botanical ex-ploration in the region, said Hardison, a pro-

fessor in OSU’s Botany and Plant Pathology Department. The Oregon Flora Project is also prepar-ing a new Flora of Oregon publication for release in 2015. The last book about the flora for Oregon was written in the 1950s, said Hardison. The new edition will be updated to reflect the latest scientific research. It will serve a broad spectrum of audiences, includ-ing policymakers, land use managers, scien-tists studying climate change, gardeners and the public, she added. The Oregon Flora Project website, at www.oregonflora.org, contains additional infor-mation about all of Oregon’s 4,560 vascular plants, which have special tissues—known as lignified tissue—that allows water and minerals to flow through the plant. The Oregon Wildflowers app was devel-oped in partnership with High Country Apps, which specializes in providing natural history information on mobile platforms.

In Memory of Arey Podrabsky

to learn if there are early current campfire re-strictions. •Select the right spot - Maintained campgrounds with established fire pits pro-vide the safest venue for campfires. lf camp-fires are allowed outside campgrounds, avoid areas near your tent, structures, vehicles, shrubs and trees, and be aware of low-hang-ing branches overhead. Clear the site down to mineral soil, at least five feet on all sides, and circle your campfire site with rocks. Store your unused firewood a good distance from the fire. •Keep your campfire small - A camp-fire is less likely to escape control if it is kept small. A large fire may cast hot embers long distances. Add firewood in small amounts as existing material is consumed. •Attend your campfire at all times - A campfire left unat-tended for only a few minutes can grow into a costly, damaging wildfire. Staying with your campfire from start to finish until dead out is required by OR slate law, to ensure that any escaped sparks or embers can be extinguished quickly. •NEVER use gasoline or other accel-erants (flammable or combustible liquids) to start or increase your campfire. •Always have water and fire tools on site - Have a shovel and a bucket of water nearby to extinguish any escaped embers. When you are ready to leave, drown all embers with water, stir the coals, and drown again. Repeat until the fire is DEAD out. •Make sure it’s out - com-pletely extinguish your campfire before leav-ing. If it’s too hot to touch touch, it is too hot to leave. •Burn only wood: state regulations prohibit the open burning of any material that creates dense, toxic smoke or noxious odors. •Escaped campfires are costly: A first timecitation costs $110. If your campfire spreads out of control, you are responsible for the cost of fire suppression, which can be over several thousand dollars.

Summer is right around the corner and so is the Marion County Fair! It’s not too early to start thinking about what handi-work you would like to showcase at this year’s fair. If you’ve been meaning to fin-ish a quilt or have a collection that needs organizing, here’s your incentive. Whether it’s submitting an article through the Open Class textiles department or a collection of figurines through the Hobbies and Crafts department, there’s something for everyone. The 2014 Marion County Fair, set for July 10-13 at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, offers a wide variety of class competitions open to all individuals; you don’t need to be a member of a particular

club or organization to participate. Open class categories include flo-ral and garden products, creative arts, baked and preserved foods, photog-raphy, and many more. Exhibits are judged and awarded ribbons; some departments have additional prizes such as cash and gift cards. Exhibits will be on display throughout all four days of the fair. Both pre-registration and on-site regis-tration are available. To participate, visit www.mcfair.net, and click on “Exhibitor Information.” Rules, regulations, and en-try processes are all available on-line. For additional information, call the Fair Office at 503-585-9998.

Are you ready to go beyond basic recy-cling? Marion County has just the course for you. The Marion County Master Recy-cler Program provides expert instruction in all aspects of solid waste management to people who live and work in Marion County. The class covers ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible. The seven week Master Recycler course will run from Thursday, September 4, through October 16, 2014. The class also includes three Saturday field trips to sites that the public seldom gets to see, such as the Marion County Waste-to-Energy Facility and a commercial food compost operation. Waste Reduction Coordinator Bailey Payne said, “Many folks wonder why we have an entire class on recycling, but once they get into the class, they discover that we cover a lot more information than simply what can be recycled.” Class topics include: how do commer-cial operations separate materials that are mixed together in blue roll carts; why all plastics are not alike; how does food

waste get composted; and where does all the garbage go if it doesn’t go to a landfill. For more information or to register for the class, please visit the Marion County recycling website at http://MCRecycles.net, e-mail environmentalservices@co.marion.or.us, or call 503-588-5169. The course is limited to 30 students. Registration closes on Friday, August 1, 2014. The class cost is $25 and students must agree to com-plete 30 hours of rele-vant volunteer service upon completion. Join them! Over 600 people have participated in the program which was first offered in Marion County in 1994. Col-lectively graduates from the class have contributed over 8,000 hours to educate the community about solid waste issues.
