It’s 8 a.m. on a warm summer day in
the scenic Santiam Canyon. Cars are
pulling in to the parking lot of Trexler
Farm Café in Stayton, Oregon. Twentyand thirty-somethings are hopping out
and bustling into the quaint farm store
café’s “boat room,” where they gather
for the newly formed North Santiam
(NS) Young Pros meet-up, coordinated
by GROW EDC, on the third Thursday
of each month at 8 a.m.
Young men and women greet each other with excitement in their voices and
smiles upon their faces. While some
have attended the NS Young Pros meetups before, there are always new faces. “YP Selfie”: NS Young Pros selfie with Grady Hardage,

Tim Kirsch, Current Mayor of Mill City
TO THE CITIZENS OF MILL CITY: My
name is Tim Kirsch and I am the Mayor
Mill City. I am again running for Mayor
of our beautiful city.
While serving as Mayor I have been
instrumental in several much needed upgrades to our city’s livability, some of
which are; the addition of a one million
gallon water reservoir, the rehab of the
south reservoir, rebuilding of all three
sewer pump stations, two drinking water
wells, the transference of our surface water rights to those wells that allowed our
city to keep its senior water rights while
reducing the chemical treatment of our
water, replacement of thousands of feet of
antiquated or inadequate water transmission lines, restrooms and play equipment
in Kimmel Park, the building of a new
City Hall, a sidewalk on Fairview street
from 1st street to Kimmel park, improvements in other parks,,improvements at our
sewer plant, and equipment upgrades.
In the last 10 years the City’s net worth
has increased approximately two million
dollars. We have consistently received a
“strong” rating by our financial auditors.
We haven’t raised water or sewer rates
since 2008-2009, and have never increased
property taxes while I have been in office.
These are all things that I have advocated
for, and the list goes on.
When re-elected I will serve in a manner
that continues to upgrade our infrastructure, and enhance the livability of our community. I am asking that you look at our
community’s forward movement and vote
Tim Kirsch for Mayor.
Thank you for your past and future
support,Tim Kirsch, Mayor of Mill City.

Candidate statements:
Mill City Mayoral Race
arkanimalcare@wavecable.
My name is Thorin Thacker, and I’m
running for Mayor of Mill City.
I believe our first responsibility in taking an elected position is to give representation to the ones we’re suppose to
be representing. That includes fortifying
Council with an active role, and making decisions as a collective. It’s not our
place to vote FOR you, it’s our duty to
vote for YOU!
I believe in transparency of government
and communication. I have a reputation
of asking the hard questions during council meetings, and in my professional career, a reputation of being efficient and
very effective. I believe in customer service and treating our citizens with dignity and respect. Asking for solutions
from the ones with the issue, and working to find a resolve that is amicable to
everyone.
I believe in community service, being
involved and interacting with our citizens and community.
I consider myself fiscally conservative,
but also understand the importance of
spending the money we’ve budgeted.
That’s how we take care of our town,
do repairs, preventative maintenance,
and to make our town more pleasant and
livable. It’s so very important we spend
wisely and get the most out of the money
budgeted as possible.
My goals as Mayor are heavily influenced
with cleaning up Mill City with strong focus on H.W. 22. I also plan on getting to the
bottom of the issue with ODOT’s H.W. 22
project. Finally putting to rest the rumors
and concerns, finding the facts and/or timeline, and give the needed reassurance to our
businesses so that they may move forward
with much needed repairs without fear of
ODOT taking their building or access.
I’m very motivated to work with and help
our business and the economic development of Mill City, getting the most out of a
tourist initiative to bring more money into
our town, and make us more of a destination.
I plan to work with Council, spending
special attention to code enforcement, specifically the one’s concerning our image.
Working on the curb appeal of our town
and the result it will have on our pride of
ownership.
In short, my goals as your Mayor will
reflect honest representation, fortifying
Council, and cleaning up our town to reflect the place it deserves to be.

Lyons Fire chili cook off brings out the crowds
The line for the chili and salsa tasting was filled with eager
judges; the classic car show brought in a record number of participants, said organizers (photo by Shanna Hall Photography);
Olivia and Maddi Gulstrom were selling handmade knitted hats; Michelle Gates was selling
her Bigfoot T-shirts, as a partial fundraiser for the department. Photos by Michelle Gates.
The Lyons Fire Department’s annual
Chili Cook Off and Car Show was a resounding success, said event organizers.
It’s one of the few fundraisers that the
department puts together, and has grown
every years since the volunteers began.
“We would like to thank everyone that
came out to support our event,” said organizers. “Congratulations to all the winners! Thank you all for your support.”

Respected farrier dies of
heart attack while hunting
Members of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team and the Mounted
Posse with assist by an Oregon Air National
Guard Helicopter, were called out Monday
morning in search of a reported missing hunter.
The hunter was identified as 37 year old Corey Fred, an experienced outdoorsman who
lived nearby. He had last sent a text on Saturday at 6am saying he was hunting on his property on Old Mehama Rd. SE, which abuts up
against forest land.
Monday evening the searchers found Mr. Fred
dead. The state medical examiner determined
he died from natural causes. It was deemed he
had a heart attack and fell hitting his head on a
rock while hunting.
Corey Fred was well known in the area as a
well respected farrier who had a natural love
and respect for horses.
“He was a great guy, very kind & easy for
everyone to get along with,” said Shyla Ann
Herman who used Mr. Fred’s farrier services
for years. He leaves behind a son, who is in
first grade.
Members of the Fred family are planning
funeral services for this Saturday, October
11, 2014 at 1pm at Cascade High School,
10226 Marion Rd SE, Turner, OR 97392.
Anyone who may be interested in making

Veterans Outreach
provides local help
If you are a Veteran and need an appointment with ODVA or the Salem Vets
Center, we can provide numbers to be called. If you are unable for some reason
to make an appointment yourself, we will make it for you. If transportation is a
problem, we may be able to help whether going to Salem Vets Clinic or the VA
hospital in Portland.
If hunger is the issue, we can connect with agencies providing emergency food
baskets. If a person finds themselves in crisis, we want to help. We especially want
to hear from the homeless vet. We are local veterans providing help to veterans.
If you’re a veteran and in need of assistance we urge you to phone one of the
volunteers listed here.
