Voters get answers at candidate forum

City may send its offenders up the river

BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

The possible closure of the Columbia County jail has the City of St. Helens pondering what to do with its lawbreakers. If voters reject Measure 5-238, commonly known as the jail levy on the May ballot, Columbia County Commissioners have said they will close the jail. That leaves the City of St. Helens as well as other municipalities in Columbia County wondering where they will take criminals they arrest. One alternative, according to Mayor Randy Peterson, is to rent beds at a regional facility in The Dalles, Oregon. That could prove expensive, according to Jon Ellis, Finance Director for the City of St. Helens. Renting those beds in The Dalles, or some other facility could cost well in excess of $500,000, Ellis estimates. In 2011, St. Helens used an average of 23 beds per night according to jail records. “In order to fund the level of service provided in 2011, the City would have to cut services in other departments and/or go out with a local levy which would exceed the 58 cents per $1,000 currently being proposed by the county jail levy,” Ellis said. “To tell you the truth, I don’t know where the money would come from,” Peterson said. Another option would be to use some of the ten beds the county plans to rent at a facility in Polk County, however, offenders charged with misdemeanors would likely not be incarcerated. Voters living within the city limits narrowly defeated a similar operating levy last November and Peterson is hopeful that if the current jail levy fails, voters would approve funds to rent beds elsewhere. Such a measure would likely not be put to voters until next spring, he said. “It’s going to cost the cities a bunch of money if they do have to take care of their own,” Peterson said.

ST. HELENS — Seven candidates took a break from campaigning to meet voters and address their concerns at a “meet & greet” forum held at the Village Inn Friday night. Moderated Alta Lynch, the event hosted contenders for circuit court judge, position #1: Cathleen Callahan, Jason Heym, and incumbent Jean Martwick. Jenefer Grant, running for re-election for circuit court judge, position #3, was in attendance, as was write-in candidate Agnes Petersen. Vying for county commissioner #2 were incumbent Henry Heimueller and challenger Wayne Mayo. All candidates introduced themselves and were later given the opportunity to discuss their service to the community. Once the floor was opened up for questions from the public, the topics ranged from the local economy and taxes to the court process and the county jail. See FORUM, Page A3

SAFE advocate, Meg Foster, addresses a class of teens learning to recognize a healthy relationship. Columbia County has nearly double the average percent of students who claim to have been abused.

COLUMBIA COUNTY — When it comes to teenage relationships, most associate the experience with innocence and puppy love. But in Columbia County, some high school students are having far different relationship experiences, with incidences of violence nearly doubling the state average. According to results from the Oregon Health Authority’s 2013 Healthy Teens Survey, 8.2 percent of Columbia County 11th graders reported they had been purposefully hit, slapped, or physically hurt by a boyfriend or girlfriend in the past 12 months. In comparison, the percentage of 11th graders statewide was 4.2 percent. In an effort to change these statistics, SAFE of Columbia County has

Doug Sande is a board member for the organization, while Marlene Sande is an instructor at the school. The story ’Area voters split on upcoming jail funding’ contained the following line: “Sheriff Dickerson said it costs $95 to house an inmate in the Columbia County Jail.” Dickerson claims he was misquoted. In the interest of accuracy, The Chronicle now believes determining the cost is more complex and warns our readers that the number quoted may not be correct.

SAFE: Course provides message on abuse prevention and education From PAGE A1 implemented an eight-week Healthy Relationships curriculum in four area high schools — Scappoose, St. Helens, Rainier and Clatskanie. Offered during students’ regularly scheduled health classes, the curriculum has been presented to a variety of ages, but is mostly targeted at freshmen and sophomores. Taught by SAFE advocate Meg Foster, the curriculum meets the mandates established by the Oregon Healthy Teen Relationship Act and covers topics such as: selfesteem building; effective communication; prevalence of abuse; what abuse looks like; gender roles; the effects of domestic violence and sexual assault; stalking; and how to respond to violence. For students who have more in depth questions, they can make appointments to meet with Foster privately outside of class. Naaman Cordova-Muenzberg, SAFE of Columbia County’s executive director, says the curriculum aims at breaking the cyclic pattern of domestic violence. He adds

that females who witness domestic violence or sexual assault during their adolescence often become a victim in an abusive relationship, while males who witness domestic violence or sexual assault in their adolescence often become the perpetrator in an abusive relationship. Last week, Foster taught her St. Helens High School class the differences between self-esteem, self worth and self-confidence, and how each of them can impact relationships. Cordova-Muenzberg notes that it is important that students learn to love themselves first, as perpetrators tend to target people with low self-esteem. To measure effectiveness, Foster has her students take a test at the beginning of the course and then take the same test at the end of the course. Cordova-Muenzberg says those results show significant improvement in the students’ knowledge about safe relationships and the resources available to them. Foster’s results from first semester found that 80 percent of students said they

are now able to make more informed choices about their lives. Eighty-six percent said they are now able to recognize the signs of abuse. Ninety percent said that after attending the classes, they are able to identify the traits of a healthy relationship. “Personally, I think one of the most valuable lessons is the one talking about what violence and abuse actually look like,” says Foster. “Most people think that abuse is only physical, so talking about what emotional abuse looks like, that abuse happens in a cycle and it gets worse over time, really helps people evaluate their relationships and begin to understand what an unhealthy relationship looks like. The sexual assault lesson, which includes an in-depth conversation about what good consent looks like, and also the lesson on the prevalence of violence and abuse, seem to get the most positive comments from the students on what they learned and also the interactivity that the lesson includes.” A 501c3 non-profit agency, SAFE of Columbia County’s mission is to “em-

power our community to live safe, healthy lives free from abuse.” Formed in 1979 as Columbia County Women’s Resource Center, the name was changed to reflect the fact that the organization provides assistance to both genders. SAFE is an acronym for support, advocacy, freedom and empowerment. In the aftermath of domestic violence or sexual assault, victims can rely on SAFE of Columbia County to find shelter, support, and assistance to resources that meet their needs. In addition to their inclass curriculum, SAFE’s other prevention education efforts include workshops, public speaking engagements, health fairs and other events. Cordova-Muenzberg says the agency continues to educate the community on the services they provide. “There are people who think it’s just a women’s shelter,” he says of the agency. “The shelter is a part of what we do, but it’s maybe a tenth of everything we do.” SAFE of Columbia County also provides resources and support to survivors of

Pair arrested after standoff in Clatskanie A man and a woman were arrested Saturday evening after a standoff with police in Clatskanie. James Marco Bryan, 44, of Rainier and Carrie Lou Hurley, 44, were booked into the Columbia County jail on various charges after the pair barricaded themselves inside a house in the 100 block of Bryant Street in Clatskanie and refused to come out for about eight hours.

During the standoff, Bryan requested marijuana, Mountain Dew and cigarettes. He also James Bryan reportedly called a Portland television station

to complain about the Clatskanie police. Police said the public indecency Carey Lou Hurley charge came from Bryan exposing himself during the standoff.

Clatskanie Police Chief, Marvin Hoover called in the Oregon State Police SWAT team to assist with the standoff. Bryan and Hurley surrendered after police used teargas to force them out of the house, he said. Bryan is charged with parole violation, reckless driving, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and private indecency. Hurley is charged with hindering prosecution.

Scappoose snuffs out pot dispensaries SCAPPOOSE — Medical marijuana dispensaries won’t be setting up shop in Scappoose any time soon after the city council passed an emergency ordinance on April 21 to place a moratorium on the establishment of such businesses. The one-year moratorium is allowable under the legislature’s passage of SB 1531, which allows local governments to impose certain regulations and restrictions on the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries. The night’s agenda also included finding a compromise that would preserve the peace at a local memorial and allow a nearby construction project to continue. At the April 7 meeting, members of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4362 objected to the bocce ball courts and paths being constructed at Veterans Park. VFW members felt that additions’ close proximity to the Armed Services Memorial could interfere

with people wishing to pay their respects at the memorial. Additionally, the VFW paid for construction of the memorial and associated parking and pathways, and does not have an agreement with the city, which owns the property. When the city awarded the contract to construct the bocce ball courts last year, site plans were not included, but the city was required to provide an accessible route in accordance with ADA standards, with the path’s slope being no more than 5 percent. According to the city, the path layout that was selected was considered the most efficient and economical design to provide required access without significantly impacting the project’s budget. Since removing and relocating the path would be costly, the city and VFW agreed to use landscaping to create a visual separation between the memorial and the path. The council

directed city staff to hire a landscaper to develop a plan for the area. In other business, the council awarded Legacy Contracting, Inc., of Stayton, a $131,848 construction contract for the JP West Road Bridge water system improvements project. The project consists of removing a water line that runs under South Scappoose Creek at JP West Road and constructing a new water line that will be attached to the side of the new JP West Road Bridge that the Columbia County Road Department will construct this summer. Councilors also approved a change order with K & E Excavating, Inc., for the JP West Road Bridge sanitary sewer system improvements project, which will add new sewer lines under Scappoose Creek this summer. The change order will cover the increased cost from temporary shoring for the excavation used to tunnel under Scappoose Creek.

Also approved was a resolution to amend the city’s social gaming application and license fees. The resolution retained the one-time application fee of $50 but reduced the annual license to $15 per table, compared to $100 for the first table and $50 for each additional table. Councilors authorized Mayor Scott Burge to sign an addendum to update the language in the intergovernmental agreement of the Columbia County Major Crimes Team. They also authorized Interim City Manager Don Otterman to sign an intergovernmental agreement to share GIS data with the Port of St. Helens. Councilmen Larry Meres, Jason Meshell and Jeff Erickson were appointed to the Personnel Review Committee to handle an appeal from Doug Greisen. A public hearing was held to discuss the renaming of Casey Street to JP West Road, but no one opted to speak.

Elks to host soldier send-off

ST. HELENS — Members of the Elks Lodge invite the community to stop by the lodge on Sunday, May 4, to share well wishes with local soldiers who are being deployed soon. At around 1 p.m., the Elks will serve lunch to soldiers from St. Helens’ own Detachment One Bravo Company, 186th Infantry. Organizer Alta Lynch says there are approximately 60 men in the unit, which has soldiers from Columbia, Clatsop, Washington, and Multnomah counties. Around 25 of them are anticipating deployment. “Come show the community support,” says Lynch, “these guys like to see that. As many times as they’ve been deployed, we want them to know the public cares for them. These are such a great group of young soldiers; I’ve dealt with them real close for two or three years. I love them all to death; they could all be my kids.” The Elks Lodge is located at 350 Belton Road in St. Helens. Anyone who would like to purchase a meal at the event should call the lodge in advance, 397-1999.

FORUM: Candidates meet voters at question and answer event From PAGE A1 One citizen asked how the Columbia County Jail makes an income when “the cost to supervise, feed, clothe and provide healthcare for a larger inmate population is now substantially more than running the old jail” and “sheriff has admitted himself that the cost to house inmates per day is $94.65 and we only get $78 a day” for each federal inmate that is housed at the jail. Heimueller claimed the dollar amounts printed in a Chronicle story last week were not accurate, but declined to reveal how much it costs to house each inmate per day. “Real numbers are it costs us less than what we bring in from the federal prisoners every day,” he explained. “There’s a dollar amount and I’m not going to say the number because its $20 or $30, in that neighborhood, that is a profit, if you want to use that word. That amount of money between what it costs us to provide a bed and what they pay us helps to offset the operations of the entire facility. Numbers get thrown around; numbers get moved around. The bottom line is that jail would have closed many, many years ago had it not been for those federal beds subsidizing the whole operation.” Earlier in the evening, Mayo had suggested the county subsidize the jail’s expenses by imposing a tax on loads of gravel leaving the county. An audience member asked the commissioner candidates how the county could attract retailers and big box stores as a way to increase jobs in the area. Heimueller stated that he has been told that it all comes down to population size, and that until our area is a bigger size, retailers won’t consider coming here. Mayo said he wants to see Boise Cascade and other mills reopen in the county. One resident asked Mayo and Heimueller how a “15year $33 million tax abatement” given to Portland Gen-

eral Electric (PGE) benefits county taxpayers. Heimueller explained that the PGE project created 250300 construction jobs in our county. He noted, “They are the number one taxpayer in this county and if we did not have them here, we would be in some serious trouble, and we are already in enough trouble.” A member of the audience later noted that property owners are the number one taxpayer in the county, as they pay more taxes than PGE. Mayo said, “If we had to bribe them to make them build that plant in our county and lost taxes for a number of years, I think that goes on everywhere, and that doesn’t go on for little guys like me. I can’t go to the County and say, ‘Could you give me tax abatement on five acres on the port property because I’m not going to build an infrastructure thing and I’m not going to hire 50 people at $60,000 a year.’ But companies that have a reputation for having done that, like PGE, when they come into an area like this, they say, ‘We’re PGE, we’ve got the money, we’re going to build a big thing, we’d like some breaks on this for a few years.’ And then when it comes online, they pay us a huge amount of taxes per year, I like that. I really do.” Commissioner candidates were also asked about the audits that were done for Columbia Health District, which were said to have revealed 16 discrepancies and questionable record keeping done by former district. Heimueller stated that Columbia Health District is a special district that is in the process of being dissolved. “I can assure you of one thing, the audits were every single year the district was in place, up to right now,” he said. Heimueller explained that all of the money that was spent had been spent in accordance to state law. He invited citizens to look up the information at the courthouse, as all the documents are public record.

Mayo said that if Spotlight editor Darryl Swan doesn’t know where the money went, then the issue isn’t resolved. When the candidates for circuit court judge were asked why many cases are resolved through plea bargains, Petersen explained, “Well, I’ve tried cases and a lot of them were criminal. And I tell you that as a working lawyer, following what my husband told me, which was, ‘If you don’t plead guilty, you don’t need a lawyer.’ So I thought I was needed. So the times I ever agreed to plead anyone to anything were almost nil. Now on the subject of a plea bargain, sometimes it is well to settle a case, whether it’s a criminal case or a civil case, because of the awful things that can happen in the trial. There was a murder case out in Deer Island right behind where we live. A woman killed her husband. Trial number one, in front of Judge Honeycutt, there was a mistake made during the course of the trial. I heard through the grapevine later that if that if that would have had gone to a jury she would have been convicted. Trial number two, a different group of jurors, and they acquitted her. So sometimes funny things happen even when you are totally innocent and the certifications the judge needs to do is being very precise and asking the questions to see whether or not that person in fact committed the lower included offense or not.” Grant offered to go into the topic in further detail after the event. When asked if they would enforce laws of Oregon, Grant, Martwick and Callahan stated that they taken an oath to do so. Heym agreed, “Your job is to apply the law as you understand it and as it exists.” Petersen said, “Yes, however I intend to go forward with this challenge to an unconstitutional part of this state’s laws. So if you’re telling me if I’m going to follow an unconstitutional law, the answer is I am going to seek to change it.”

Letters BEST Choice for Judge Jean Martwick is the BEST choice for Circuit Court Judge. I have known Judge Martwick since she first began providing her legal services in Columbia County. At that time I worked as a Court Security Deputy for the Sheriff’s Office and had frequent contact with her at the Courthouse. She always arrived for Court timely and treated everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism. I retired from the Sheriff’s Office, got my Private Investigator License and opened my own Private Investigations business in 2008 and have had the privilege of working for and with her on criminal cases on several occasions. I can attest to the fact that she cares deeply about fulfilling her responsibilities to her clients as well as being a hard working individual who seeks to get to the truth in every case. Judge Martwick has the knowledge, skills, abilities and dedication to the duties of serving as our Elected Judge in Columbia County Circuit Court. Her experience in our Columbia County Circuit Courts far exceeds that of both her challengers combined. Please join with me in supporting Judge Jean Martwick and vote to keep her as our circuit court judge! Jim Gibson Clatskanie Henry’s earned my vote! The County Commissioner position is not a 9 to 5 job, you may start your day in Scappoose at a 7:00 a.m. Koffee Klatsch and end your day at a Clatskanie City Council meeting at 8:00 p.m. And in between, you may have had a meeting in Vernonia and Rainier. Along with that, your desk is piling up with the business of running our County. A $40+

Speedbump

million dollar corporation with 20 departments and 140+ employees, you have to have the ability to negotiate and work with everyone, manage departments and personnel, and the passion to spend those long days listening to the concerns of everyone county-wide. And I can tell you from personal experience that our County is very lucky to have such a passionate and experienced leader and no one works as hard or as long as Henry does. Henry’s hard work and experience has gained him the respect of his peers and other elected officials here and in our surrounding cities and counties. This benefits our county tremendously in getting things done. During these times we can’t afford on-the-job training or gridlock with controversy. Vote Henry Heimuller, Commissioner Position 2 Jeff Kemp, President Pacific Stainless Products Likes Jean Martwick Although I cannot vote in the upcoming election (I live in Washington State) I’m glad to support the campaign of Jean Martwick who is up for re-election as Columbia County Circuit Court Judge. My father, who was suffering from dementia and had lost contact with all family, was involved in an automobile accident. Although his life was falling apart he had the good fortune to have Jean Martwick assigned to his case. She worked countless hours with a friend of his to navigate the system to get him the help he needed and a safe place to stay. Jean even drove my father to the Oregon Veterans Home because he liked to walk and she thought it would be a better environment for him. My father died there and she attended the memorial.

It is easy to become jaded about politics and politicians but Jean Martwick is a shining example of what an elected official should be. She is a compassionate, qualified, determined and responsible woman. Please support Jean Martwick in the May primary; you are lucky to have such an outstanding judge in Columbia County. April Lubin Seattle, WA Safe in Our Own Home I want my elected officials to do a lot of things. But most importantly, I want them to keep me and my family safe. That’s what I am looking for in a judge. And that’s why I’m voting for Cathleen Callahan for the Columbia County Circuit Court. We live in a world that is increasingly complex. And it is getting harder and harder to keep your family safe from the numerous threats out there. Thankfully, Cathleen Callahan has strong experience in locking criminals up and protecting victims from further pain and suffering. In fact, she has more experience than anyone else in the race. Cathleen Callahan served as the criminal prosecutor for the City of Clatskanie for nine years. She is the only candidate who has a significant criminal prosecution background. Cathleen prosecuted cases concerning driving under the Influence, harassment, domestic assault, and animal abuse. She worked to establish sentences that made sense: that were strong enough to keep dangerous criminals off our streets, but also to understand when someone is a hardened criminal and when someone just made an honest mistake. You are going to want a judge who has the experi-

ence—and the know-how— to keep our community safe from violent offenders. If you want to join me, and many, many others who are working to protect our children and our families, you should vote for Cathleen Callahan for Circuit Court! Candy D. Crippen-Adams St. Helens Newspaper should stand up for the people My next letters to the editors are going to be how your newspaper doesn’t care about the people and how you rather protect the government than let the truth be told. How sad is that? The people are the govern-

ment and the government has no right to modify our weather or to spray us with poisons. How hard is that to understand? The media is to protect the people from the government not protect the government from the people! Shame on you! I can almost bet your newspaper is hanging on by a thread and it’s only a matter of time before the door closes! I mean one dollar for your little paper? It says so much indeed! Thanks for nothing and thanks for looking out for the people. I can bet that the poisoning of the air that has been going on for decades has affected those that run the paper. Other-

wise the paper would stand up for the people and not protect the government! I ask are the American people lab rats? Seems to be ok with you that they are. Again shame on you! Don’t worry it will be stopped and I will get the help needed from real newspapers. Take care now and keep protecting the government. Shame on you! I am not afraid to stand up to you or the government. I am calling you out on your BS! Norma Stevens St. Helens

Viewpoint County Commissioners explain why we need the jail levy As we approach the voting deadline for the Columbia County Jail Levy, our concern is for voters to have accurate information so they can make informed and responsible decisions. However, there is one issue that continues to surface and it gives us great pause. There seems to be confusion regarding payments made to the Columbia County Jail from the U.S. Marshals Service regarding bed rentals. Make no mistake, this arrangement has been very beneficial to both parties. It has been suggested that the Columbia County Jail takes a financial loss

by providing these prisoner holds, in fact the arrangement takes a substantial bite out of the Jail’s fixed costs. It costs 4.1 million dollars to operate the Jail; the U.S. Marshals prisoner holds contribute slightly more than half of the total operating budget at 2.3 million dollars. Without this arrangement, that revenue would have to be made up by Columbia County’s general fund. An article published by The Portland Mercury on March 19, 2014, summarized the U.S. Marshals holds in the Columbia County Jail as, “...moneymakers, subsidizing jail

costs.” Ironically, even though The Portland Mercury story is about the overcrowding problem currently vexing the Multnomah County Jail, they still hope to secure these U.S. Marshals Service prisoner holds -- should the Columbia County Jail levy fail -- because of the payments resulting from those holds. The Portland Mercury continues by making a revealing point: “The reduction places county officials in an odd spot—more or less crossing their fingers that a Columbia County levy will fail in May, forcing our neighbors to the northwest to shutter their

own troubled jail.” Multnomah County Deputy Budget Director Mike Jaspin is somewhat more tactful, “I don’t want to say ‘hoping,’” The Portland Mercury quotes him in the same article. “But if it were to fail, it’s reasonable to assume that some of those people might end up here.” The Columbia County Jail currently charges the U.S. Marshals Service $78 per bed, per day. At 50 to 100 holds per day, this becomes savings against the Jail’s fixed costs. It’s important to note that if the levy fails -- and if the Jail were to reopen in the future -- this funding mecha-

Columbia Humane Society

in keeping down costs, “... your cost efficiency is very good.” Mr. Hanlon continues, “...if you take into account the income from housing non-county prisoners, you are operating as efficiently as any jail I have ever seen!” These U.S. Marshals holds are nothing but a gain for the Columbia County Jail and we hope this information is useful when considering how you’ll vote on the upcoming Jail levy. Thank you, Commissioners Tony Hyde, Earl Fisher and Henry Heimuller

Letters From PAGE A1

Supports the jail bond levy The Jail Bond Levy needs to be supported. Whether we shoulder more taxes comes down to the issues and the future of our county. For this family, the question is easily answered. The old argument regarding the funding and construction of the jail is a moot point and long past any justifiable discussion. The issue of not spending money wisely has not been proven. Closing our jail will be costly without any benefit to anyone. Mothballing such a facility will demand maintenance, electricity, heat, and administrative oversight. Not supporting a justice system and housing for the convicted criminals sends the wrong message if we desire to have a thriving, sustainable, and functional community. Sending prisoners to Polk County is not cost effective. It takes considerable time, not to mention expense, to transport the individuals back and forth, plus officers are not able to patrol where and when called. and We believe any business t - large or small - in a fea I sibility study will examine ople the following, not necesk sarily in any order when Again considering locating here. orry These include the schools will which prepare future emm real ployees. The infrastructure of roads, rails, communicaeep tion, energy sources, etc. which are important, of am course. Of significance is you the consideration for safety, call- security, and well being of the employees and all the evens residents throughout the elens county. Not having a jail operation and facility leaves any business person contemplating a move to Columbia County with more questions than answers. We urge a yes vote when your ballot arrives in the mail Paul and Judy Nys Rainier Supporting our Neighbor You have probably heard a lot about the upcoming campaign for the Columbia County Circuit Court. I hope you know that only one candidate is a true member of our community. Cathleen Callahan is the only candidate who has been devoted to our community. She has lived here for twenty years, as well as worked here, and volunteered here. That is not the case of her opponents. Jason Heym moved here only three years ago, and still works in Portland. And Jean Marie Martwick does not live in Columbia County. Cathleen worked in Clatskanie as a civil attorney and as the city prosecutor, and then opened her current practice in downtown St. Helens. In fact, she chose to open her practice in Columbia County, so that she could provide jobs and economic activity here. Cathleen was the president of the Columbia County Bar Association, and is a member of the Rotary Club and the South County Chamber of Commerce. She has long volunteered for Columbia County CASA for Kids, which helps fostered children find permanent homes, and SAFE, formerly the Columbia County Women’s Resource Center

and Columbia County Legal Aid. Cathleen has the support of many of our community’s leaders, like Rep. Brad Witt, Former County Commissioner Rita Bernhard, the mayors of Vernonia, Rainier, Clatskanie, and Columbia City. So vote for our neighbor in May. We should have a Columbia County local on the Columbia County Court, and that’s why I’m voting for Cathleen Callahan for judge! Margaret Lain St. Helens Social Security earned retirement Have you noticed, the Social Security check is now referred to as a “Federal Benefit Payment”? The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a Federal Benefit Payment. Check your bank statement. This isn’t a benefit. It is earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes. The folks in Washington took our money and used it elsewhere. They didn’t have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn’t pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently, they’ve told us that the money won’t support us for very much longer But is it our fault they misused our investments? And now, to add insult to injury, they’re calling it a benefit, as if we never worked to earn every penny of it. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government. Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going, for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. THEN call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income. * “Excerpt from a forwarded email.” Barb Topham Warren, OR Mayo for Commissioner I was encouraged to hear that Wayne Mayo was running for Commissioner (Position 2). He is the right man for the job. He has a history of standing up for the citizens of this county. He led the fight taking Enron/PGE’s supply systems and handed them over to the PUD’s against the advice of many of our “local leaders” resulting in much lower electric rates. He stood strong again when he warned of the multiple problems that would develop with the disastrous hospital project. 7 million tax payer dollars where wasted and much of the money is still unaccounted for. He has recently proposed a depletion fee of $8.45 per truckload of gravel. That would generate over $1.9 million in revenue that would be dedicated to keep our jail open. We need a citizen commissioner who bring sound fiscal discipline and will work to create a business friendly environment that will bring family wage jobs into our county. Wayne Mayo is that person. Jeff Maloney Scappoose

Jails cost money It costs a lot of money to run a jail. Jails cost millions of dollars to run, because we have to pay enough staff and provide enough financial support to comply with the law. In Columbia County, there is no longer enough money to run our jail. In fact, our jail should have closed years ago, except for one thing: We have rented beds to the federal government, which has brought millions of dollars into our County to keep the jail open. If we could have run the jail without federal prisoners, we would have done so. These prisoners are very difficult to manage, and their numbers have stressed our limited staffing to the limit. Instead, we used the revenue from these bed rentals to keep the jail open and make its cost much less to the county taxpayer. Some think that the millions of dollars the U. S. Marshal’s Service pays to house its prisoners here isn’t enough and that we should make them pay more. The Marshal’s Service, however, tells us how much they will pay, and we decide if it is worth it or not. In my view, it has been worth it, because it has made it possible to keep the jail open all these years when the county was spending much less on the jail than the federal government was. Without those federal bed rental payments, the cost of the levy to the taxpayer would be closer to $1.00 per thousand, instead of the 58 cents per thousand that the levy is asking for. Some people have been confused about figures thrown around about the “cost per day” to house one inmate. Just know that the “cost per day per inmate” is mostly dependent on the number of inmates we have in our jail. The more inmates we have, the cost per inmate per day goes down. The only way to lower the cost per inmate is to have more inmates. If the levy passes, we will be able keep our jail open and do so at a lower cost per inmate. Jeff Dickerson Columbia County Sheriff Proud to be a Vet I am proud to be a veteran! I will be voting for Jean Marie Martwick. As a veteran, I know that she is a candidate who has supported and helped the American veterans. When I was on the U.S. submarine Nautilus in 1959 during part of the four years in the United States Navy, I was up very close and personal for months at a time under the ocean with other vets and soon found out what a veteran needs. The veterans I served with needed persons in office who cared about the veterans. Remember that veterans are the ones who saved their country and the world from tyranny and oppression. She is one candidate whose heart, soul and mind are on the welfare of the veterans of America. Which of the others have gotten veterans their benefits? Which of the others take care of a disabled veteran on a daily basis? Join me for someone who cares about the United States Constitution and the rights we all have in it

and care for the veterans of America, especially those who are disabled. Keith Forsythe St. Helens Congratulations Judge Jean Martwick You won the recent Oregon State Bar Poll. This is a poll of local lawyers about your race to hold your position as incumbent Circuit Court Judge, Position 1. The Oregon State Bar allows its members to vote for their preferences in judicial races. The lawyers in a local community often have worked closely with the judicial candidates and know their history, scholarly ability, and judicial temperament.I give Judge Jean Martwick my highest recommendation. I am a litigation lawyer with over 19 years of experience. I have known Jean Martwick 16 of those years. Judge Martwick provides the quality of legal experience, leadership, and integrity that Columbia County deserves. Karen Wilson Hillsboro, OR Letter to the Editor I am writing to provide additional information associated with the County Jail Levy that voters may wish to consider. The information is derived from analysis performed to try to measure the possible monetary impact to the City of St. Helens. There are many pros and cons associated with the jail levy with some very valid points, here are some facts I believe salient from my perspective. 1) In 2011 according to County booking information, the City of St. Helens was averaging 23 beds per night at the jail facility. All Columbia County agencies combined utilized 100 beds per night. 2) The current cost of the jail levy is 58 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, which based on the fiscal year 2013-14 for inside the City of St. Helens assessed value, would generate approximately $450,000 per year. 3) If the jail closes and the City opts to continue to prosecute misdemeanors offenses, the City will need to rent jail beds from a jail in another county. To maintain an average of 23 beds per night, we would most likely have to contract with the regional jail facility in The Dalles and pay for daily transport services to and from The Dalles. 4) The cost to the City of St Helens for these services would run well in excess of $500,000 per year. 5) In order to fund the level of service provided in 2011, the City would have to cut services in other departments and/or go out with a local levy which would exceed the 58 cents per $1,000 currently being proposed by the county jail levy. 6) Currently the County is only maintaining 25 beds, resulting in having to book and release all but the most extreme criminal violations. An example would be a person being arrested for allegedly molesting his neighbor’s children. This person would be booked, assigned a court date, and then released based on the offense being lesser then the inmates already using local assigned jail beds. Respectfully submitted, Jon Ellis City of St Helens Finance Director

CRFR Ballot Measure On May 20th you will be asked to support Ballot Measure No. 5-237 for Columbia River Fire and Rescue. The Board understands how important it is for voters to be informed about this issue. District households will receive, within the next few days, a flyer explaining what the bond will fund and why, and the benefits to your community. We encourage citizens to attend our next Board meeting scheduled for 7pm, May 13th, 2014 at the District Administration Office located at 270 Columbia Blvd in St Helens to make comments or ask questions. You are also encouraged to stop by the Administration Office and arrange to meet with the Board President and/or the Fire Chief to discuss the bond. The Board appreciates your continued support of the services Columbia River Fire and Rescue provides and looks forward to answering your questions. Board of Directors Columbia River Fire and Rescue Mayo helps our county I understand federal dollars helped get the bus system going, but what is the cost to this county? Our jail might close, schools are struggling to meet budgets, roads go unrepaired, yet empty busses are what our commissioners chose to spend our money on. Taking funds to set up a system that is not sustainable is irresponsible. The new transit office was used for years in the private sector for the executives that ran Friesen lumber. Why did they have to get remodeled? Were they not good enough for the public employees that run the bus system? Wayne Mayo wrote the initiative for the PUD takeovers. Wayne, with several others, stood outside the post offices collecting signatures to get the takeover on the ballot. Since the initiative passed, we have been saving on our electricity costs. The current PGE rate is $.11/ kWh, Columbia River PUD is $.064/kWh and the Clatskanie rate is $.0455/kWh. If you are in the Columbia River service area, you are saving 42% over Portland ratepayers. If you are a Clatskanie PUD customer, you are saving 59%. It all adds up to a lot of money saved by Columbia County Residents. That is the kind of creative savings Wayne comes up with. Please join me in electing Wayne Mayo for Columbia County Commissioner. Paul Rice Rainier, OR

Keep up the good work This is what Wayne Mayo said to me the other day. Not only does Wayne care about Columbia County as a whole, he also cares for individuals and their part. Columbia County is made up of many individuals that need to work together to make this area prosperous, safe and a great place to live. We need commissioners that have integrity, ingenuity in creating jobs and concern for the families of this area. We have known Wayne Mayo for over 16 years. In that time, he has worked hard to raise successful children, hire employees through his contracting business and better the lives of residents in Columbia County. In 1999, Wayne wrote the measures for the takeover of Enron PGE distribution system for Scappoose, St Helens, Columbia City and Rainier. In the middle of the campaign, Lori Piercy convinced Wayne that Rainier should go to Clatskanie PUD as a better fit for that town. Over the last 10 years, these four towns have saved over $30 million over the rates PGE has charged in the Portland area. This is the kind of servant leadership that we need in our next commissioner of Columbia County. Vote for Wayne Mayo. Janice Rice Rainier, OR Please vote yes for the jail levy I’m voting yes because I want Columbia County to be a safe, livable, and family-friendly community. I want new businesses to consider opening their doors here, so that more of our talented, hardworking residents can find meaningful work close to home. I want a criminal justice system in place that can house more than 10 criminals at a time. Without a local jail we will put our local law enforcement officers at great personal risk and increase workload for our 9-1-1 staff and local fire & rescue. More criminals and predators will walk free, increasing crime throughout the county. The consequences of a jail closure would strike a blow to our criminal justice system that I fear could lead to our county becoming a haven for criminal behavior. That’s not what any of us want, so let’s not let that happen. Please join me and vote yes on the jail levy. Libby Calnon Columbia City

File photo

titled St. Helens Waterfront Redevelopment Project, A Canvas of Opportunity. In November 2013, the City applied for and was awarded participation in the prestigious Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) program offered through the American Institute of Architects. The SDAT program offers community guidance from a multi-disciplinary

approach based on the principles of sustainability: economy, environment and social factors. The SDAT brings a multidisciplinary group of professionals (such as architects, urban designers, landscape architects, planners, hydrologists, economists, attorneys and others) to work with community decision makers and stakeholders to assist in developing a vision and

framework for a sustainable future. The St. Helens SDAT project has two areas of focus: the former Boise Veneer Mill site property adjacent to the historic Olde Towne and a more global assessment of the neighboring Boise White Paper site. Anyone interested in more details can visit the project website at www.ci.st-helens.or.us/sdat.

Out&About

St. Helens corrals top-notch performers for Countrycon St. Helens has long been known for its historic waterfront. The Columbia River Port City has also built a reputation for Spirit of Halloweentown and as a backdrop of such movies as “Twilight”. In a new initiative, St. Helens hopes will grow and bring visitors from the Pacific Northwest for another segment of entertainment and event destinations. Countrycon, an eightband, two-day musical happening on May 17 and 18, will be the next step for St. Helens in expanding its reach throughout the region. “We’ve lined up an exceptional selection of local country bands as well as some from Seattle that will keep the musical line up fresh and exciting,” said Chris Finks, director of tourism. “We’re going to build St. Helens as the quick, fun getaway from Portland and Vancouver and one of the best ways to do

that is by creating events and happenings that people will enjoy. St. Helens is a great place to live, and visit.” Countrycon will feature such acts as Brent Amaker and the Rodeo from Seattle, Carrie Cunningham, Michele

Drey and Branded Band, Earl Haimes Band, Tiffany Kuenzi, Countrywide and Sweetwater, and Counterfeit Cash. Countrycon is just the start of the season; other new events coming to town

include Buskerfest Circus at the River, The Wind and Water Festival, an expanded Spirit of Halloweentown including a pumpkin patch, and a paranormal symposium. These events complement established events such as 13 Nights on the River, the July 4th celebration, the Maritime Heritage Festival and Christmas Ships arrival. St. Helens has many more dynamic activities than you would expect in a town with a smaller population. “In order to keep St. Helens vibrant, we need to support interesting activities that attract not only locals, but out-of-town guests who do not want a long drive or an expensive hotel bill to enjoy a great weekend. The historic charm of St. Helens makes it a great location for all kinds of events and the water adds another element that allows for a nice variety,” added Finks.

Cadence Cowgirls hosting tack sale fundraiser to benefit team activities fee is $30 for an 8 x 8 space inside an indoor, covered riding arena. Sellers keep 100 percent of their profits. The vendor fee benefits the drill team. For people who only have a few items to sell, a consignment option is offered for a fee of 15 percent. Baked goods also will

be sold, and a raffle drawing will be held. Admission to the event is $2, which automatically enters visitors into the raffle. For more information about this event, including vendor applications, contact Jennifer Morse, 503-3960956, sassyjcountrygirl@ msn.com.

I Support Measure 5-238 Why? For my family, my home and my business. I just left for a weekend trip and was worried the entire time that someone would break into my house and steal my stuff while I was gone. WHY? Because criminals are not locked up. My business in the last year has experienced car break-ins while employees were working the night shift, theft out of our yard of scrap and finished product, identity theft and check fraud. My brother’s house has been broken into, my neighbor’s houses have been broken into. Enough is enough! Criminals need to be in jail. We could argue the fact that the county should find the money. Well the county had money years ago when we had industry and an $80 or $90 million dollar budget, back when a million dollars would buy something. Today, it is half that, which barely pays what is required by federal and state mandates. We are certainly not going to attract any new industry (and their tax dollars) if they’re worried – like myself – that it is unsafe to operate a business here. If it is not safe for the business or its employees, why relocate here? With 70% of our county commuting outside of the county for work, you can help with our county’s budget shortfall by shopping locally. Every dollar spent in Columbia County will be spent five more times before it leaves the county. This creates an atmosphere for businesses to thrive so we can support the county.

DEQ approves cleanup of ethanol spill The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has approved the cleanup of an ethanol spill in the railroad right-of-way east of Highway 30 near its intersection with Cornelius Pass Road, about five miles south of Scappoose The spill occurred on May 4, 2011, when log cars in a freight train on the Portland & Western Railroad main line derailed and collided with an ethanol tank car parked on an adjacent siding. The collision breached the tank car, causing it to release its contents and catch fire.

Approximately 20,000 gallons of ethanol were released onto the ground as a result of the incident. After the fire was extinguished, environmental contractors stabilized conditions at the site. In July 2011, Portland & Western removed approximately 476 tons of contaminated soil from the spill site and installed monitoring wells. The wells are sampled periodically to evaluate groundwater quality near the spill. DEQ has concluded that residual levels of ethanol in

soil and groundwater do not pose unacceptable risks to nearby properties or wetlands in the vicinity of the spill. DEQ said ethanol levels in soil and groundwater will continue to decrease as the product naturally degrades over time. DEQ has approved the cleanup of this spill and no further action is required for this incident unless additional information becomes available that warrants further investigation.

Car safety seat inspection scheduled

Safe Kids Columbia County will be holding a “Safe Kids Buckle Up” event in St. Helens, Oregon, on Thursday, May 8, 2014, from 4 - 6 p.m.. This free child car safety seat check-up will be held at the Columbia River Fire and Rescue main station at 105 S. 12th Street in St. Helens. A certified technician will check to ensure each child has the right seat and that it

is installed correctly. They will also check for recalled or expired seats. Safe Kids Columbia County can provide low-cost and no-cost child safety seats to families in need. Child safety seats and safety belts can prevent injuries and save lives when installed and used properly. Advocates say restraining a young child in a child safety seat reduces risk of death by

71 percent. Safe Kids Columbia County has been hosting car seat events since 2006. The mission of Safe Kids Columbia County is to reduce unintentional childhood injuries and death. For more information about child injury prevention or the car seat events, please contact the Commission on Children and Families at 503-3977225.

Scappoose businesses target of OLCC sting Four Scappoose businesses were caught by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission furnishing alcohol to a minor during a decoy operation on April 18. The check was carried out jointly by OLCC enforcement personnel and the Scappoose Police. Of the 17 businesses checked, 13 refused to sell to the minor decoy. Employees at four businesses, Ixtapa Restaurant, Simms Oriental Cruisine, Grocery Outlet and INR Shell received citations from the Scappoose Police. The businesses and the servers will also face penalties from OLCC. The sales check resulted in a compliance rate of 76

percent, which is below the 2013 statewide average of 84 percent. “The Scappoose Police Department is a great partner in addressing alcohol sales to minors,” says Shannon Hoffeditz, OLCC Regional Manager. “We really rely on local law enforcement to help us identify alcohol-related issues in their communities.” Business that passed the check and refused to alcohol to the minor were Wigwam Tavern, Roadrunner Gas and Grocery, Fultano’s Pizza, Engstrom Food Mart, Jackpot Market, Scappoose Liquor Store, Rose Valley Market, Pizza Vendor, Varsity Bar and Grill, Fred Meyer, Lung Fung Chinese

Restaurant, Longfellow’s Inn and Ichabod’s. During a sales check, a minor volunteer attempts to purchase alcohol from a licensed business to see if staff are checking ID’s correctly and refusing to sell alcohol to anyone under 21 yearsold. Commission inspectors or other law enforcement officers supervise the minor volunteers. The volunteers carry their own legal ID that identifies them as under 21 and do not disguise their age or lie to encourage the sale of alcohol. The Oregon driver’s license for a minor carries a red border around the picture with the words “Minor Until” followed by the date of his or her twenty-first birthday.

Men in red car approach Scappoose students as they walk home from school Scappoose Police have notified the Scappoose School District that a sixth grade student was again approached by a red car on the way home from school April 28. The student refused to make contact and went home safely. Scappoose Police patrols were on alert Tuesday morning as students walk to school. On April 23, an Otto Petersen elementary student reported to the Principal that he and his brother, a Grant Watts

student, were approached by two men in a red car on their way home the previous night. The boys ignored them, kept walking, and the car drove off. There was also a report from a Grant Watts student who said he was asked to get in a red car when he was walking to school on morning of April 23. Luckily, in both cases the students ignored the invitation to get into the car. Stephen Jupe, Superintendent of the Scap-

poose School District, in a text and email, asked parents to coach their students to be wary of such invitations, and to report all suspicious approaches to a trusted adult. “When in doubt, if parents or school employees become suspicious of a situation, it is always best to call the police, and inform your school or the district office so that we are aware of the situation,” the message said As of press time no arrests have been made.

Student Achievements SALEM — Susannah Sass, of Warren, earned placement on the Chemeketa Community College Dean’s List for her academic

achievements during the winter term. The Dean’s List recognizes students who earn a term grade point average between

3.5 and 3.99 while completing 12 or more credit hours. The honor was earned by only 5 percent of Chemeketa students during winter term.

Storefronts yield wealth of artistic talent ST. HELENS — St. Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO) invites you to check out the newly installed art exhibited in the storefronts next to Houlton Bakery and next to Chase Bank on Columbia Boulevard. These are part of the SHEDCO’s Storefront Art project to improve people’s experience of St. Helens’ main streets by turning vacant storefronts into sidewalk art galleries. In the storefront next to Houlton Bakery are paintings by Oregon artist Erik Sandgren. Sandgren is a practicing and widely exhibiting artist as well as professor of fine arts and humanities at Grays Harbor College. He has been the primary visual art professor there since 1989. He has a BFA from Yale College (1975) and an MFA in painting and printmaking from Cornell University (1977). His father was a professor of painting at Oregon State University; he grew up in a household saturated with visual art and visiting artists. Sandgren was awarded a Fulbright Teaching Exchange posting to England and has received two sabbatical leaves from GHC for European travel to paint. He has twice been art-

ist in residence with the Alfred and Trafford Klots Program in Rochefort-en-Terre, Brittany. He is a member of Print Arts Northwest, and has served six years as a board member of the Washington State Technical and Community College Humanities Association. In the space next to Chase

Bank on Columbia Blvd and N. 19th Sreet are paintings and charcoal drawings by Dee Vadnais. A graduate of the Museum School in Portland in 1976, Vadnais lives in Deer Island, where she pursues her passion for painting in the landscape in coastal mountains, beaches and forests.

Recent journeys have taken her and her husband to Mexico and British Columbia aboard their boat. These excursions also provide opportunities for painting on-site, albeit often in difficult conditions. Vadnais uses acrylic and watercolor on-site. She also works in her Deer Island

River City enters its 30th season by mike weber For The Chronicle

kyle boggs / The Chronicle St. Helens senior Jacob Zartman came within inches of breaking the 50-foot mark in the shot put during a dual meet against Putnam on April 23, then threw it 50-3.25 at McMinnville on April 25.

Lions unleash some history by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

In each of their meets last week, the St. Helens Lions did something that hadn’t been accomplished in an SHHS track and field uniform since the 1990s. During a dual meet against the Rex Putnam Kingsmen on April 23, senior Kylie Reinholdt became the first Lion female since 1999 to jump 17 feet or better in the long jump. Two days later at the McMinnville Invitational, senior Jacob Zartman threw the shot put 50-3.25, becoming the first Lion since 1992 to have a throw measure more than 50 feet. Reinholdt’s leap of 17-1 came on her first attempt during a rainy afternoon. With McMinnville looming a couple days away, she opted to pass on her remaining attempts and still won the event by nearly three feet.

The last Lion to break 17 feet was Katie Luttrell in 1999. The long jump wasn’t the only victory for Reinholdt against the Kingsmen. Shortly after that event ended, she went to the track and added a win in the 100-meter dash. She would add another win in the triple jump and finished second to teammate Alyssa Holz in the high jump. That led the Lions to a comfortable 96-45 victory over the visiting Putnam Kingsmen. The boys enjoyed similar success, earning an 87-55 win. Freshman Lillianna Shriver won the 400 for the first individual victory of her high school career. Junior Jennifer Prevish added a win in the 800, and freshman Genny Luttrell won the 3,000. Senior Kennen Hembree won the javelin and sophomore Angela Willson picked up another win in

His second attempt in the shot went 49 feet, 10.5 inches. He added his first discus win of the season with a throw of 121-6, and won the javelin with a throw of 139. Seniors Bryan Strang and Thomas Hughes were both double winners for the Lions. Hughes won both hurdle races – the fourth time this spring he’s swept those two events. Strang won both the 1,500 and 3,000 by wide margins. His teammate, senior Tanner Matlock, found

himself in a battle with Putnam senior Logan Anspach for second place in each race. In both of them, Matlock edged Anspach at the finish line to take second. In the 1,500, Matlock finished a quarter-second ahead of Anspach; in the 3,000 it was .35 seconds. The other wins for the SHHS boys came from senior Tanner Long in the 200, sophomore Bryce Bumgardner in the 400, freshman Richard Sass in the 800, senior Chris Gray in the pole vault and sophomore Nolan Adams in the triple jump. At McMinnville, Zartman improved his PR for the fifth time in seven tries this season. His throw of 503.25 made him the first Lion since Kris Long in 1992 to break 50 feet. Zartman has won all seven shot put competitions he’s entered this season. See lions, Page B2

ST. HELENS — River City Speedway marks a major milestone as it begins its 30th year of stock car racing with the 2014 season opener May 3 at the Columbia County Fairgrounds. Over 100 drivers are expected to compete in seven race classifications that include heats, trophy dashes and main events beginning with time trials at 2:30 p.m., followed by racing on the quarter-mile clay oval track at 5 p.m. Local drivers considered as top contenders for a Columbia County Racing Association division championship include Bud Russell, Dan Smith, his son Cody, John Oyler, Lucas Eaton, Scott Dorie and his daughter Kylee. Russell, 32, has captured consecutive Sportsman Division titles and he’ll be eyeing a three-peat driving his Competitive Edge Sign & Design-sponsored Chevrolet Camaro. Gresham’s Ray Elwess, runner-up to Russell

last year, returns to compete as a series frontrunner, along with CCRA president Dan Smith of Scappoose, who took third in 2013 in his Alliance Automotive Camaro. “I would like to win one more Sportsman title, because I don’t think anyone has ever won it four times,” said Russell, the 2010 champion who is also the third three-time champion along with Marc Sayre (1990, ’91 and ’95) and Troy Schreiner (’01, ’03 and ’04). Cody Smith, 17, is another driver seeking consecutive titles following his record-breaking Street Stock Division championship last season. Smith became the youngest driver to win a title when he captured the championship as a 16-year-old a year ago and he’s hoping to win it again this year. The previous record was held by Justin McMullen of Deer Island, who won the 2008 Mini Stock title at age 19. Another teenager in the spotlight at the track is Kylee Dorie, 16, of St. Helens.

by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

The seventh-ranked Scappoose Indians (12-4, 5-1) held onto their spot atop the Cowapa League standings with a pair of wins against the Tillamook Cheesemakers (5-6, 2-4) on April 25 and 28. The Tribe started the first game against the Cheesemakers with textbook offensive execution. Junior Jake Ford fell behind in the count 1-2 before fouling off four pitches and drawing a walk. A sacrifice bunt from junior Wyatt Patton moved him to second base. From there, senior Hunter Hoyt drove Ford home with a double to center field. That set the tone for the Tribe, as the Indians went on to take a 9-1 league victory over the Cheesemakers. The Indians added three more runs in the first inning, as Hoyt scored on a passed ball and junior Steven Johnson had a two-run single. Hoyt finished the game 2-for-4. Junior Robby Backus was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Junior Justin Hering added a pair of RBIs. Senior Will Sprute picked up his eighth win of the season. He tossed a complete game, giving

He pitched a five-hit shutout with four strikeouts and a walk. The Indians got on the scoreboard in the third inning with three runs before going on to take an 8-0 win.

Hoyt had an RBI single and senior Kyler Mizee had an RBI double in the frame. A double from junior Justin Hering brought home another run in the fourth inning. Hering scored on a base hit from Ford.

The Indians then play the Astoria Fishermen (8-4, 5-1) in Astoria at 5 p.m. on May 2. The teams are tied for first in the league.

Scappoose boys set records in both relay races by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

Two Scappoose High School records were taken down on April 26 at the 50th annual Centennial Invitational, and a third mark was nearly moved from its perch atop the school’s record list. The SHS boys set records in both relays during the 63-school invitational. In both events, they finished second overall. Sophomore Jarrett White, senior Nick Rust, senior Matt Shoun and senior Justice Oman clocked a time of 43.26 seconds in the 4x100 relay, finishing a tenth of a second behind Walla Walla. The mark was also one-tenth of a second faster than the school record set last year by White, Oman, Jadyn Harris and Paul Revis. Oman, Rust, Shoun and sophomore Braden Clark established a new standard in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:24.28. It’s nearly a half-second faster than the mark set last year by Rust, Shoun, Oman and current senior Mychal Hortert, who had a time of 3:24.79. Jesuit won the event with a time of 3:23.64. Those two runner-up finishes helped the Indians take third place in the team competition – the highest mark at a Centennial Invitational

in the nearly two decades David Harley has been the team’s head coach. “We were not expecting such a high team placing, especially since we went into the meet not really trying to get meet points, but just compete well against excellent competition,” Harley said. As such, Harley and staff held Oman out of the open 400 meters, instead entering him in the 200, where he finished second with a time of 22.97 seconds. “We entered all the sprinters who run on the relays in just one open sprint race, and for Justice in particular did not want him running three 400s in one day, assuming he would have made the final,” Harley said. “For him, and the others, running two 200s and a 400 was much wiser than three 400s.” Shoun was sixth in the 200 with a time of 23.43 seconds. Senior Kenny Klippel added team points in the discus. His throw of 148-5 earned him a sixth-place finish. Senior Charlie Davidson came close to breaking another SHS record. She ran the 3,000 meters in 10:36.56 – just off Jenny Elder’s 2009 record time of 10:34.95. The mark was good for 13th place overall. Grant sophomore Ella Donaghu won

the Jesuit Twilight Relays on May 2. Field events are set to begin at 2:30 p.m. and track events will start at 5:30 p.m. A few days prior to Centennial, the Indians went to Banks High School for a four-school Cowapa League meet. The Indians scored dual meets against the Yamhill-Carlton Tigers and the Banks Braves. The Tribe did not score against the Tillamook Cheesemakers because those two teams will meet in May. The Indians swept the Tigers and split with the Braves. Scappoose’s boys beat Y-C 111-25. The girls won against Y-C, 90-54. Against Banks, Scappoose’s boys won 89-57 while the girls dropped a 92-53 dual. Harley said it was a The Chronicle file photo windy, rainy afternoon at BHS.

LIONS: finish third, fourth From PAGE B1

As a team, the Lion boys finished third out of 10 schools; the girls were fourth. Strang turned in a pair of inspiring, come-frombehind victories. He picked off West Albany’s Dylan Ryals by a few tenths of a second in the 1,500 meters. Strang won with a time of 4:25.18; Ryals finished in 4:25.45. In the 3,000, Strang caught McMinnville’s Devon Wilson by nearly a second, winning with a time of 9:26. “He refused to lose and his determination showed,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. Senior Tanner Boyle came in fifth in the 1,500. Gray cleared 13 feet in the pole vault for the second time this season, good for a second-place finish. St. Helens junior Jesse Vanderwall was third with a vault of

12-6. The only mark ahead of them was a 16-foot vault from Clackamas senior Connor McLean. McLean’s mark is the best in the state at any classification. Senior Corey West and Zartman went 3-4 in the discus with throws of 130-9 and 127-10, respectively. Senior Gage Bumgardner finished fourth in the triple jump, going 38-9.25. A pair of freshmen led the way in the boys and girls 800 meters. Sass finished fourth with a time of 2:11 in the boys race; Josie Hanna was third in the girls competition in 2:29. “Josie and Richard both have a lot of potential in the mid-distances. This is mostly a learning year for them. If they can dedicate themselves and avoid injuries, their future is bright,” Tinkle said. Hanna’s third-place finish was one of the top showings for the girls. Reinholdt led the team with a win in

the triple jump, a secondplace finish in the long jump, and tying with Holz for second in the high jump. Holz and Reinholdt both cleared 4-10 in the high jump, two inches behind the winning mark. Reinholdt easily won the triple jump. Her jump of 35-6.5 was almost two feet ahead of second place. In the long jump, she was topped by a mere quarterinch for the win. Reinholdt recorded a leap of 16-3.5; McMinnville’s Dakota Buhler won at 16-3.75. Senior Alyna Habel gave the Lions a third-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles. Shriver took fourth in the 400 with a time of 1:04. Junior Sydney Nett added another top-five mark by taking fifth in the shot put at 29-11. St. Helens heads to Milwaukie for a league dual meet at 4 p.m. on April 30. Portland Waldorf School will also compete at MHS.

King currently owns the fastest 400 time in 4A and Oman is No. 3 on that list after finishing second at last year’s state meet. Junior David Krupsky won both the high hurdles and the intermediate hurdles for the Indians. In the throws, Klippel picked up a win and two second-place finishes. He won the shot put with a mark of 46-6.5. He was second behind state leader Dallin Shurts in the discus. Klippel was a mere 17 inches off the winning javelin throw. Banks senior Garrett Markham won with a throw of 144-5, topping Klippel’s toss of 143-0. Shoun and Rust went 1-2 in the 400. Those two, along with Oman and White won the 4x100. As they were for the boys, the hurdles were a strength for the girls as well. Sophomore Eleanor Jones took home first place in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdle races. Davidson won the 400 and took second in the 200. Senior Abby Kessi won the 1,500. Junior Rachel Bode led an all-Indian pack in the 3,000 meters, finishing in 12:27. Davidson, Kessi, Jones and Wight won the 4x400 relay, coming in nine seconds ahead of second-place Banks.

Tribe trying for third spot With four of their first Cowapa League games coming against the top two teams in the OSAA 4A Power Rankings, the hard part of the Scappoose Indians’ (8-7, 2-4) conference schedule is past them. After having a doubleheader against No. 1 Banks (13-0, 6-0) in the first week of league play, the Indians faced the No. 2 YamhillCarlton Tigers (10-1, 4-1) for two games on April 28. Y-C won both games, 12-1

and 3-1. That leaves the Indians looking up in the standings at the Tillamook Cheesemakers (7-5, 2-1), who are currently third in the league. Tillamook is yet to play Banks or Y-C, and lost to Scappoose 11-1 earlier this season. The Indians blew out the Seaside Seagulls (5-11, 0-6) 20-5 on April 24. Sophomore Sage Harrison’s second grand slam of the season highlighted that game. Senior Lexi Courtney also had four

RBIs against the Seagulls. Courtney’s sixth home run of the season accounted for the Tribe’s only run in the first game against the Tigers. Sophomore Mary Jane Reser had an RBI double in the second game. Scappoose played at home against Astoria (7-8, 1-3) on April 29 and goes to Tillamook for a May 2 doubleheader starting at 4 p.m. See more details from these three games at thechronicleonline.com.

Lions force tie for second Sherwood sweeps St. Helens by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

With runner-up finishes at each of the last two Northwest Oregon Conference golf tournaments, the St. Helens Lions have forced a tie for second place in the league between themselves and the Wilsonville Wildcats. The Lions got the better of the Wildcats on April 23 at Quail Valley Golf Course and again on April 28 at Waverley Country Club. At both events, St. Helens finished behind league-leading Sherwood. The match at Waverley came down to the wire, with the Lions beating the Wildcats by a mere four strokes. “It was quite a match, it was pretty exciting,” said St. Helens coach Dave Lawrence. “Jordan Roark came through for us with a five on the last hole, gave us a little breathing room,” Lawrence said. Had the Lions been able to play the back nine as well as they played the front, they would have given the Bowmen a run for their money. St. Helens players shot a 40 and two 41s on the front nine before the challenging greens at Waverley gave them trouble on the back. Senior Eric Aldridge ended up leading the team with a score of 81. Roark finished second with an 84. At Quail Valley, the teams

The sixth-ranked Sherwood Bowmen (11-6, 8-1) took a three-game sweep of the St. Helens Lions (5-11, 3-6). Sherwood won by scores of 6-3, 6-2 and 8-1. The Lions struggled to figure out the Bowmen pitching staff. Sherwood ace Riley Moore mixed a lively fastball with a sharp curveball to strike out 12 batters in the first game. That game started in St. Helens on April 21 and was completed as part of a pseudo-doubleheader on April 24. The teams got into the fifth inning on Monday before a downpour caused it to be postponed. They completed the

were forced to slosh through rain the entire afternoon. The Bowmen won by 30 strokes, and the Bowmen’s Keegan Brasch was the top individual by 13 strokes. He withstood a constant rain to shoot a three-under-par 69. The next best score was a 10-over 82, shot by Wilsonville’s Chan Lee and Parkrose’s Cameron Davis. Lion senior Michael Hewlett finished the match in a three-way tie for fifth place with a round of 85. Roark also landed in the top 10, tying for ninth with an 87. St. Helens’ four-man score of 353 put the Lions 14 strokes ahead of the Wilsonville Wildcats for second place in the team competition. “All in all, we’ll take it.

It’s good to take second. Now we’re two points behind Wilsonville with two matches left,” Lawrence said. “I was really pleased with how everybody played. There was standing water everywhere.” Junior Jacob Roxey shot an 89 and senior Eric Aldridge finished at 92 to round out the scoring for St. Helens in almost unplayable conditions. “They almost had to call it off it was so wet,” Lawrence said. “They were all drowned rats when they got in.” Second place is significant in the NWOC because the league’s top two teams advance to the state meet. St. Helens will play next on May 5 at The Resort at the Mountain.

game at Wilsonville High School on Thursday, then played the second game of their series, a 6-2 Sherwood win. In the two games, the Lions managed only five hits. Two of those hits went for extra bases, though. Senior Josh Keller and junior Bryce Winnier doubled. The Lions fared slightly better in the final game of the series, when they came up with four hits. Keller, the team’s leadoff hitter, was 2-for-2 in the game and walked once. He scored the team’s only run on a groundouttoshortstopfrom sophomore Bryce Mulcahy. This week the Lions will play a three-game set against the Wilsonville Wildcats (8-9, 6-3). The first game was in St. Helens on April 29. The teams will meet on the turf at Wilson-

ville High School at 4:30 on April 30. The series will conclude in St. Helens at 4:30 p.m. on May 2.

Lawrence is NWC 800 champ again

TACOMA — Will Lawrence blew away the field to win his second straight Northwest Conference title in the 800 meters. Lawrence, a sophomore at George Fox University, won the event by more than three seconds. After taking third in preliminaries, Lawrence won the finals with a time of 1:52.67. The runner-up, Whitworth senior William Wren, crossed the finish line in 1:55.88. The time represents a nearly four-sec-

ond improvement from Lawrence’s conference championship time of a season ago. Lawrence graduated from St. Helens High School in 2012. Alex Lull, another 2012 SHHS grad, just missed making it to the finals in the 800. Lull is also a sophomore at George Fox. He finished ninth in the preliminary heats with a time of 1:58.07. The top eight advanced to finals. The eighth-place finisher had a time of 1:57.94. – By Kyle Boggs

game-tying run. The next batter up, junior Michelle Sass roped a line drive down the first-base line that was snagged by Sandy’s first baseman. After a scoreless eighth, Sandy put together its own two-out rally in the ninth. Two Sandy batters reached base on error. After a throwing error put runners on first and third, Allinger came up with another RBI base hit. The Lions went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the ninth, the final out of the game coming on a laser up the middle from Strawn that Byron snagged reflexively. “With the way Mariah was pitching and the way the team was hitting, we were on track to win. Those few

errors just killed it,” said St. Helens coach Miranda Little. The next night, under a steady rain, the Lions poured down runs on the Wildcats. “After the Sandy game the girls exploded,” Little said. “Everything started to fall together while we were playing Wilsonville.” The Lions got six of their 12 hits in the game in the first inning as they built a 7-0 lead. St. Helens drew 15 walks as well, and six of the team’s hits went for extra bases. St. Helens scored seven runs in both the first and second innings, building a 14-3 lead. After a three-run third, the Lions added seven more in the fourth. Eight different SHHS players drove in at least a run, with Sass racking up a team-high five RBIs.

She had a two-run double her first time up, drew a bases-loaded walk her third trip to the plate, bunted in a run the next time up and had a run-scoring single in the fourth inning. She wound up 2-for-3 and scored three times. Junior Hailee Fischer drove in three runs. She was 3-for-5, belting out three doubles. Sophomore Taylor Leal went 2-for-3 with a triple. She drove in three runs and scored three. Mulcahy was 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored. She also pitched a complete game with 11 strikeouts. Mulcahy rang up doubledigit strikeouts again against the Mustangs. She fanned 12 batters in a one-hit shutout. Like she did against Wil-

sonville, she helped herself at the plate as well. Her three-run homer highlighted a nine-run third inning. “It took a couple innings this time to jump 100-percent on board but in the third inning, the bats were back. The third inning just goes to show how much hitting is contagious. Eight of our 11 hits this game were in the third inning, including a three-run home run from Mariah,” Little said. During that offensive surge in the third inning, Sass was 2-for-2 with an RBI double and an RBI single. She also drove in the team’s first run on a sacrifice fly that scored Ashley Giesbers in the first inning. Sass was one of three Lions to finish the game with three RBIs. Mulcahy

was 2-for-3 with the home run, a single and three RBIs. Fischer had three RBIs as well. She was 1-for-3 with a two-run single and a sacrifice fly. Leal added two hits as well. Edwards laid down two sacrifice bunts before hitting a double in the third inning to end the game 1-for-1. St. Helens hosted No. 8 Putnam (11-5, 4-1) on April 29. “Rex Putnam is a very tough opponent and it would be amazing if we can continue to have the hits that we have had the last two games,” Little said. The Lions play at Parkrose High School (8-6, 1-3) at 5 p.m. on April 30 and at Sherwood (6-9, 2-2) on May 2 at 5 p.m.

Lions win 2 straight Despite missing three players for various reasons, the St. Helens Lions girls tennis team topped Hood River Valley 6-2 on a windy afternoon April 25. The team followed that up with a 9-0 shutout against Putnam on April 28. “Everyone pitched in to contribute to the win. I was especially proud of Amanda Pardue and Cheyanne Martin, who stepped in to play the first singles matches of their high school careers,” said St. Helens coach Dave Geiger following the Hood River Valley match. Pardue won her match 6-3, 7-6. It was one of three singles wins for the Lions, as seniors Lauren Chambers and Jo’Cee Giroski both won in straight sets. Chambers won the No. 1 match 7-5, 6-3, and Giroski won the No. 2 match 6-1, 6-3. Seniors Madison Kaplan and Lexi Normine won again in straight sets, this time 6-4, 6-2, to take the No. 1 doubles match. The match of the night, Geiger said, came in the No. 3 doubles match. Nicole Hamilton and Paige Swearingen lost the match lost the first set, 6-2, then rallied back to win the second set 7-5. The third set tiebreaker went in favor of Hood River Valley, 10-6. “It was another solid performance by all members of the team,” Geiger said. Against the Kingsmen, all nine matches were decided in straight sets. Chambers did not yield a point in the top singles match-up, winning 6-0, 6-0. Giroski and Justice Krickeberg were nearly perfect.

SH Boosters’ 15th auction deemed a success ST. HELENS — The St. Helens Sports Booster Club’s 15th annual “Lite Up the Nite” Auction and Dance grossed more than $32,000. The event, held April 26 at the Columbia County Fairgrounds, saw around 275 people turn out to support athletics in St. Helens schools. Those people bid on nearly 175 items donated primarily by local individuals and businesses in the community. The 35 or so tables featured a number of creative themes. The event’s judges liked two of them the most – the Kentucky Derby table and the Jamaican Bobsled Team table. The Jamaican table belonging to Rich and Ellen Bailey took the award for best theme of the

evening. Other tables that took home awards were the Surf and Turf table – winning for best food spread, and the

Tourist table – winning for best decorated table. Club treasurer Sherry Welter said the club’s expenses for the event will

likely be around $4,000 or $5,000, meaning the total amount raised for the Booster Club will probably be around $27,000.
