press release- Santiam Hearts to Arts is proud to announce that it has applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a li-cense to operate a 100 watt (low power) FM community radio station in Highway 22 in Mill City. The station will be locally operated and will serve the communities of Mill City, Gates, Lyons and Mehama with music, news and other programming as determined by lo-cal listeners. For the first time in over a decade, the FCC has opened an opportunity for additional community radio stations to be established. Santiam Hearts to Arts believes this is a great opportunity to expand its community service. FCC notifications of approval will be made by late spring 2014. Once the initial application is approved, sta-tion call letters will be chosen and equipment will be purchased. This means that if approv-al is granted, Santiam Hearts to Arts could be broadcasting by summer 2014. Ken Cartwright, who recently relocated to

Mill City, has offered to champion this proj-ect and to manage the station. Many people know Ken through the Stayton community radio station he owned and operated for four years. Cartwright is presently involved with KMUZ, a Salem-based community radio sta-tion. Santiam Hearts to Arts believes he is the ideal candidate to lead the project’s planning and implementation.. As the prime subject matter expert in the area, Santiam Hearts to Arts trusts Cartwright’s guidance in the set up and implementation of this project. Cartwright’s experience in station operation brings Santiam Hearts to Arts confidence in his commitment to the outfitting and main-tenance of the Santiam Hearts to Arts broad-cast studio; guiding the establishment of pro-cedures and exploring programming options. Once on the air, Santiam Hearts to Arts plans to showcase local artists and musicians and to present other informative and fun arts and culture programming. There will also be op-

portunities for citizens to take on roles as in-studio DJ’s and radio reporters broadcasting live, local sports and other hometown events. Over the next several months, Santiam Hearts to Arts will be inviting input on what community members want to hear and ask-ing for volunteers to be a part of this exciting venture. About us: Santiam Hearts to Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation for the preservation and perpetuation of the arts in Oregon’s San-tiam Canyon. It is our mission to enrich the lifestyle of Mill City residents and the greater Santiam Community through a unified effort to pre-serve and perpetuate a diversity of cultural endeavors. Since its establishment, Santiam Hearts to Arts has been governed by a board of directors, all working on a volunteer basis, receiving no compensation for their services. To learn more, email us at contact@heart-stoarts.org; call (503) 897-2949 or visit our website at www.heartstoarts.org.

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

Last year, Goodfellas Rescue handed out almost 900 lbs of donated dog and cat food to families in need, helping many pets stay in their homes. We also handed out collars, leashes, flea preventative and toys as we could. We fed around 25 dogs through the winter. This year, we want to double those num-bers. Donations of pet food and items will be given out to low income and under-served pet owners as well as handed out at out-reaches throughout the winter. Cash dona-tions will be placed on our rescue accounts at either Willamette Valley Animal Hos-pital or Ark Animal Care in Mill City, to provide owners the opportunity to Spay or Neuter their Pets. We can help many more dogs in our area by providing these programs than we ever could taking in dogs alone. With your help we can keep hundreds of animals out of shelters and rescues, by providing resourc-

es like these. If you have dog/cat food, pet items, dog coats/collars/leashes, flea preventative or would like to place funds on one of our vet accounts to help with spaying and neuter-ing services, Please let us know! Dona-tions can be made directly to either veteri-narian office, or can be made by donating at www.goodfellasrescue.org For items donations. Please email us and we can arrange for someone to pick these items up, or arrange to meet. All donations are tax deductible. Winter can be a very stressful season, and owners with little to no resources may feel they have no other options than bringing their animals to the shelter. With your help, we can keep those pets fed, and with their families. Alone we can do so little, Together we can do so much. The program opens up on Nov. 10th and runs through the end of Feb. 2014Danielle Black

Dustin Paul Campbell October 9, 1987 – November 4, 2013

Dustin Paul Campbell was born in Salida, Colorado. He grew up in Goldendale, Wash-ington and moved to Lyons, Oregon in 2001. Dustin achieved so much in a short period. He had roots in Australia as a dual citizen and met his extended family on a visit to Austra-lia in 2004. After graduating from Stayton High School, he struggled for a short period before he found his path in life. He attended Chemeketa College and joined the Air Force but neither was to be his path, however, he always made friends and formed lasting re-lationships along the way. Dustin joined the Lyons Fire District in 2010. Although his stay was short, just over a year, the bonds he

formed with LRFD remains strong today. He moved to Salem in 2012 and joined Marion County Fire District, however his commit-ment to finding work and long travel to the same prevented him from staying. Dustin loved people and life. He was a kind person with a crazy sense of humor, which always brought a smile to the faces of those around him. In recent years he discovered Line Dancing. He became popular with his wit, charm and fancy moves on the dance floor. It was on the dance floor that he met Shannon McIntire. Shannon and Dustin were sharing a life together along with a rescued rabbit. He loved animals. He loved that rabbit, how-ever more than anything he loved Shannon. After struggling through a down economy he found a job and worked hard. He brought

a smile to the face of those who shared the day with him at A & I Distributors. Dustin was on his way, a true success story. Some-one so loved by his family and the people he met. Dustin was maturing into a fine young man, independent, responsible and very car-ing. He left too soon to start the next leg of his journey. Dustin leaves behind his par-ents, Dwight and Carmel Campbell, brother Matthew Campbell and his sweetheart Shan-non McIntire. He also leaves behind his ex-tended family in Australia, Chris, Joan-Mary, Kai and Teah Pantano and many friends. Services to celebrate his life will be held at the Weddle Funeral Chapel at 1:00 P.M. on Wednesday, November 13, 2013. In lieu of flowers please help Dustin support his broth-ers at Lyons Fire District with a donation.

By Denise Ruttan If you call yourself a “gardening geek” or simply want to know more about the natural world, now’s the time to sign up for the Oregon State University Extension Service’s annual Master Gardener training. But don’t be intimidated by the “master” part of a title that describes a dedicated volunteer force, said Gail Langellotto, the statewide coordinator of the Mas-ter Gardener program. The class is meant to be acces-sible to people from across a va-

riety of educational backgrounds who have a passion for learning more about horticulture,” Lang-ellotto said. “The ‘Master’ title is used to designate volunteers for Oregon State University Ex-tension Service, such as Master Food Preservers. More than any-thing, Master Gardeners have a good understanding of how to use research-based information to help people plan, plant and main-tain sustainable gardens.” Master Gardeners are trained by the OSU Extension Service and

offer reliable, relevant and reach-able information and educational opportunities. They answer ques-tions at OSU Extension offices, farmers markets and community e v e n t s . They cre-ate and m a n a g e d e m o n -s t r a t i o n gardens, s c h o o l g a r d e n s and com-

munity gardens. They also coordinate gar-dens at correctional facilities, health care centers and libraries. In addition, they host garden tours, work-shops and classes. A total of 4,160 Mas-ter Gardeners donated 194,898 hours of their time across Oregon in 2012, according to Langellotto. The OSU Exten-sion Service offers its Master Gardener training in 30 of Ore-gon’s 36 counties. For a list of trainings and local coordinators, go to http://bit.ly/OSU_MGLocations. Regis-tration deadlines vary by county. Master Gardener training typically kicks off in January, though starting dates

vary by county. Trainees take a series of classes from local and OSU experts on subjects ranging from botany basics to pest iden-tification.

Master G a r d e n e r s v o l u n t e e r their time so that they can teach others in their com-munity about sustainable ga rden ing . Master Gar-dener train-ing fees vary

by county and reflect local costs. OSU Extension requires a ba-sic application. Those who want to work with children as part of their volunteer service must also undergo a background history check. Candidates must explain in a statement their reasons for volunteering and describe their volunteer history. For those who work during the day, Extension offices in Lane County, central Oregon and Hood River offer night and Saturday classes. OSU’s Professional and Noncredit Education unit offers an online version of the training at https://pne.oregonstate.edu/catalog/master-gardener-online. Sign up to receive more informa-tion by e-mail about Master Gar-dener training at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/signup. OSU Extension also offers the follow-ing publications on the topic: “An Introduction to Being a Master Gardener Volunteer” at http://bit.ly/Intro_MG and a brochure at http://bit.ly/MG_Brochure.

As you prepare for your winter recreation activities, be sure to buy and display your Sno-Park permit. Oregon’s Sno-Park program helps provide snow removal at about 100 winter recreation park-ing areas (Sno-Parks) across the state. Sno-Parks are in most of Oregon’s mountain passes and in most ski, snowmobile, and snow play areas. A list of areas desig-nated as a Sno-Park is available atwww.trickcheck.com under “Travel Center”. If you park in a Sno-Park from Nov. 1 through April 30, you need a valid Sno-Park permit displayed in your vehicle near the lower left corner of the windshield. Parking in a Sno-Park without a permit may result in a fine.ODOT offers three types of per-mits:

• a $25 seasonal permit;• a $9 three-day permit good for three consecutive days; and• a $4 daily permit. Permits are sold at all DMV of-fices and by permit vendors at winter resorts, sporting goods stores and other retail outlets in-cluding the local Ranger Stations. . Permit vendors may charge an additional service fee. A list of permit ven-dors is avail-able at www.tripcheck.com under “Travel Center”. To become a Sno-Park permit vendor contact DMV, Vehicle Mail at 503-945-7949. The seasonal

permit is also available by mail from DMV. Send a written re-quest with your return address, phone number and a check or money order to DMV, Vehicle Mail No. 1, 1905 Lana Avenue, Salem, Oregon 97314. New this year, the one-day and three-day permits have been re-designed. Both permits can be purchased ahead of time and vali-

dated by the user by entering the correct date the permit is used. Sno-Park permits issued by Cal-ifornia and Idaho are honored in Oregon and Oregon permits are honored in those states. Starting this winter, Washington will no longer honor an Oregon Sno-Park permit. As a result, Or-egon will not be able to honor a Washington Sno-Park permit.

Hey it’s November! Remember to buy your Sno-Park permit!

By Michelle Gates The November 5 election proved that the citizens of Lyons were divided over which they were willing to pay for – a new pub-lic safety vehicle for the fire department, or four years of increased police patrols. They could have chosen both, but it turns out that they wanted the fire department to get water to their burning properties more than they wanted police patrols. At the time of this printing, the City of Lyons Local Option Levy for Law Enforce-ment Services failed to pass by a difference of 21 votes. It would have cost about $41 per year on a $100,000 home. But the Lyons Rural Fire Protection Dis-trict General Obligation Bond passed voter approval with a 7 percent margin (certi-fied results take 2 weeks). The maximum $250,000 bond will cost just over $15 per

year, and will be used to purchase a new 3,000 gallon water tender, a vehicle that carries fire suppression water to places where it’s needed most. “The majority of our district is rural,” said Captain Bob Bivans. “The only hydrants are in town, and on McCully Mountain. The 1970’s water tender that we have now is not safe in fire environment.” The next step for the department is to form a committee to decide on the type of vehicle they will purchase, said Bivans. They also need to decide what components and fea-tures they can afford, since this is the low-est cost bond measure the department has put out to voters in recent years. “This one is really low compared to the others,” said Bivans. “But everybody is very excited. We’re very happy that it passed.”

Lyons voters approve fire bond, say no to increased police patrols
