A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Written July 6th, 2024 by Hasso Hering

Last month I wrote something about the barbed wire fence along the Albany Santiam Canal north of Queen Avenue. The bike took me by there again last week for another look.


About new fencing on Santiam Canal

A line of new fence posts drew my attention this week along a section of the Albany-Santiam Canal. It brought to mind the stories I did six years ago about this very spot.


A dying man’s wish, unfulfilled

Written June 8th, 2018 by Hasso Hering

Three months ago, I looked at this mess of barbed wire on the Albany-Santiam Canal along with Jim Ketter, who had asked the city to remove it. Now Jim is gone, but the wire is still there.

Jim Ketter’s request to get rid of the barbed wire along the Albany-Santiam Canal in the Monteith Historic District, and maybe even lower the fences, has gotten nowhere so far.
