(cont from front pg) including neighbor Cherie Girod, who noticed her horses
acting strange the day before the cougar was sighted by the Morrison family.
Cougar sightings are not new here—both the Morrison family and Cherie
Girod have noticed evidence of the cats over the past two years. According to
Jayne Miller, the director of the Oregon Cougar Action Team, a Cougar preser-
vation organization, interactions with cougars may be a sign of stress in the eco-
system. ―These cats are actually cowards,‖ said Miller. ―People are the ones
who are in charge of what the situation is going to be; we don‘t have to fear
these cats. We crossed the nation in covered wagons, for pete‘s sake. We are in
more danger from our irrational fear of cougars than of the cougars them-
selves.‖
Miller recommends humane trapping & relocation of problem animals, but is
more likely to suggest that people in these areas carry a stainless steel whistle to
create an effective warning sound as they walk in cougar territory.
Vickie Morrison has her own solution. ―I would shoot it. I‘m not going to take
chances on my kids getting killed. I‘m not going to try to preserve them, there‘s
too many around. It‘s a health threat.‖
It is not known if the sightings in this area are of a single or multiple cougars.
The Oregon Cougar Action Team provides free educational classes to the com-
munity and can be reached at OreCat.org.
UPDATE ON THE SIGHTING: Resident Cherie Girod has since called state au-
thorities and was given the name of a local trapper, who visited her property on
Halloween night. According to Girod, the trapper placed a heat activated sensor
in the cougars travel area, which was tripped - an indication that is believed to
provide confirmation of the cat. The trapper will return later this week to film
and study its movements for final removal.

Cougar Sighted Near School Bus Stop Mill City—One family has had their eyes wide open recently, thanks to three
cougar sightings on their property over the last two weeks. One time, it was
very close to a school bus stop. ―It was 6:30a.m. My grandson came running
back from the bus stop because he saw a pair of eyes looking at him,‖ said
Vickie Morrison, a Mill City resident.
Morrison, who lives just outside city limits on Lyons-Mill City Drive, had
spotted the cougar two days before her grandson. She believes that it had made
a bed next to her barn, very close to where her grandchildren walked to the bus.
Others in the area have seen signs of the big cats, (continued on back page)

Snapshot of the Past
1962 Worst storm in history
hits Lyons-Mehama on Oct.
15, 1962. Area barns were
blown down and the popular
Riverview Club in Mehama
was destroyed.
1963 The U.S. guerilla threat
inspires a two day exercise to
capture Detroit Dam by
‗aggressors‘. This ROTC
maneuver was performed by
Oregon State University ca-
dets on Nov. 25, 1963. U.S.
‗raiders‘ hoped to halt hydro-
electric production and were
armed with machine guns and
rifles.
1964 Lyons 4-H club was
one of the first organized in
Linn County. Called the Ly-
ons Livestock Club and led
by Hugh Johnston, it was one
of 70 in the area.

Local Plumber Gets Down To Business
Local plumber Stephan Weaver sees a lot of things that should-n‘t go down the toilet. ―I‘ve dug out tennis balls and toys and even an Elmer‘s glue bottle once,‖ said Weaver. ―Most of the time I can get it out, but sometimes you just have to break the bowl. That happens one of ten times I‘m called out.‖ Weaver is the main plumber, as well as the operations manag-er, of the Mill City based Valley Plumbing. The company was started by his dad, a long time employee of the closed lumber mill, Young & Morgan. ―My dad wanted me to get into some kind of trade. He didn‘t want to have to worry about me getting hurt out in the woods.‖ Weaver spent four years as an apprentice plumber and now has 12 years experience in the trade. His wife and three children live in Mill City and all were born and raised in the Santiam Can-yon. Valley Plumbing can do new & remodeled homes, as well as winterization services. ―They make a machine for eve-rything,‖ said Weaver. ―But they can‘t make a machine to fix plumbing. It‘s a trade that no machine will ever be able to do.‖ Valley Plumbing can be reached at 503-871-7289.

Local Speak
In this segment, we ask local residents their view
on a topic question. Opinions are not representa-
tive of the views of The Canyon Weekly.
How do you feel about changing the name of
Detroit to Detroit Lake?
Editors note: Our question this week was asked
before the election results had been tabulated.
―I think it‘s nonsense. The lake was
named for the town, not the other
way around. (The proposers) think
it‘s going to bring more business; I
don‘t think it will change any-
thing.‖ Cathie Massey, owner of KC’s in Detroit.
―It‘s a way for Detroit to better
identify as a recreation community.
The lake is available year round for
fishing—we have a year round boat
dock now. It‘s a great area for
snowmobiling and cross country
skiing, too. The people who call it
Detroit (not Detroit Lake) will con-
tinue to call it Detroit despite what
the vote says.‖ Jim Trett, acting media spokesperson.
―There are locals in this town that
have been here for generations. We
are Detroit. We were named after
Michigan settlers. A name change
would take this away from us.‖ Autumn Warden, 20 yr resident of Detroit.
