church group on rwer COMING EVENTS
By Shiela Henry
Several weeks ago I had the great privilege of taking
a White Water Trip down the Deschutes River with a -- III Ill II -- II
group from the Dayton Pioneer E.C.N.A. Church. Led
by the great inspiration of Dekon Jones and our guides
Mark Williams and Carrie Willard, our group was
bussed in a van to a park along the river where we spent
the night under the stars.
The next morning our group, which included Bob
Jensen, Mary Jensen, Rosie Morgan, Ann Albright,
~i~ne Albright, Don Albright, Kevin Albright, Ellen
...... ~lbks, Eileen Brooks, Bruce Kendall and Jeanne
.... ~-++ ~rren, was initiated to the rigors of river travel by our
leaders. We were told to wear our lifejackets at all
times when we were in the rafts, which was very good
advice. After a very quick lesson in paddling, our
guides led us out for the trip of our lives.
Things.went pretty, well for quite a while. The river
was fairly calm and we didn't have time to get bored
i because of all the water fights between our two rafts. I
had even begun to relax some until we came to the
notorious White Horse Falls. We put in to the bank to
scout the falls from the top of a Canyon. I looked over at
all that white water and decided that there was no way
we would ever come down those rapids in one piece.
We did make it through without losing a person out of
the boat even though our inexperienced paddling
' almost got us in serious trouble.
That night we were glad to stop. We were all tired
and hungry. I don't think food has ever tasted so good.
The next morning we hit several sets of rapids which
were very rough and we lost Mark Williams several
times in the river. All our leaders would say after each
set was, "If you think those were bad wait until Boxcar
and don't forget to paddle."
• All that I can remember about the famous Boxcar is
the shear wall on one side, the eight-foot drop off on the
other. Because this part of the river requires special
paddling techniques, many rafts have been turned over
-- spilling many unwilling riders in ,the Deschutes
~ for an unwanted trip alone across the falls.
can bet that I didn't stop paddling because I was
on the side with the shear drop off. We made it through
without losing a person. I fell into the raft instead of out
so that tells you how tight I was holding on to the strap
that went across my knee.
This trip was a great experience made doubly so by
the fantastic people that we had as leaders. Yes, it was
frightening at times, and yes, I really want to do it
again.

Dayton City Council
studies rate increases
The Dayton City Council Monday evening studied
proposed rate increases for sewer and water users in
the community. A study by the city engineering firm,
Consultants NW, recommended the increases to bring
revenues in line with actual costs. Proposed rates would
be $5.00 for up to 30Ocubic feet of water used, up from
$3.50; 300 to 600 cf at $7.00, up from $5.00 and over 600
cubic feet at 40c per 100. Sewer rates would go from
' $5.00 to $7.00 on monthly charges.
In other business the Council approved a motion to
abandon a proposed LID ordinance. Several hearings
have been held on the proposed Limited Improvement
District ordinance and after much consideration, the
Council decided to dxop any action on the proposed
statute.
A committee was formed to coordinate scheduling on
the local baseball fields. Named to serve were Rich
McCullough, Donna Sonderman, Doug Tistadt, Phil
Lorenzen, Sharon Maxwell, Ray Nelson and Freeman
Finnicum.
Also appointed was Laura Baxter to the planning
commission, filling the vacant position left by Tom
Segundo.
The city engineer and city attorney were authorized
to draft a proposal for acceptance of funds for storm
drain pipes from the LDS Church. The group has
offered to pick up costs of $12,000 toward alleviating
water drainage problems on Church St.
A resolution passed by the Council will regulate
parking adjacent to the Legion ball diamond. Resi-
dential parking only will be allowed and signs will be
placed on the residential side of streets which border
the ball field.
Several changes were proposed to the Council
regarding the city's charter. Among those were to make
the charter comply with state law concerning election
laws, giving the mayor a vote on Council decisions,
having appointed persons to the Council required to run
in the next election. City elections are held every even
numbered year. Another proposed change would be
that ordinances would be read by title only unless there
is a request by a council member to have the proposed
ordinance read in full.
The Council also heard a request from the Catholic
Church for use of the park on Sept. 12. Plans call for a
carnival, food booths, etc., in a fund raising effort to
help finish their church.
Reroofing is planned for the city hall and bid sheets
will be drawn up.
Dancing, food enjoyed
at Heritage Days
Lafayette Heritage Days began with the teenage
dance on Second St. with Dora Hatly playing the music.
The rain chased the dance into the Center. There was a
good crowd.
On Saturday the pet show didn't take place, although
many pets showed up. The chicken barbecue by the
Chamber of Commerce was delicious and was enjoyed.
The pie booth by the Rebekahs was a very popular
place. Those participating in the horseshoe tournament
were greatly appreciated as this was the first time we
have had anything like this. Hope they had fun.
Richard Schara and his group were a big hit with all
at the Saturday night dance at the Park Pavilion. Many
stayed just to listen to them. On Sunday we had a good
turnout for the Sunday Pancake Breakfast. We want to
thank all those hwo donated merchandise and gift
certificates. These were Pauline's, Dayton Meat C%,
Margaret's Flowers, Heritage Shop, Olde Town Florist,
People's Market, Putts Market, Bills Market, Shirley's
True Value, Lafayette Beauty Shop, Norma Wise,
LYSAG Sunday Brunch, Old General Store Antiques,
central Flea Market, Helen Woods and Sophie Hills.
Gladys Pruitt served a delicious meal on Sunday
evening at the Community Center. We want to thank
the Old Time Fiddlers who provided music at the
breakfast, Jean Rabe, Dee and Don Hodney, Wayne
Vannose, Gladys Bonneville, Carl Weber and all the
volunteers who helped make this a good celebration.
Beckie Horlacker did a marvelous job with the parade
again this year.
