Several of those who took part in the St. Helens Black Lives Matter march and rally say they believe they are making a positive difference in stopping racism in America. An estimated 700 people participated in the event late Wednesday afternoon. The march began just a few blocks east of Highway 30 along Columbia Boulevard and slowly moved toward the Columbia County Courthouse in Old Town along the riverfront. The St. Helens march and rally followed those across the state and nation after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while being restrained by police in Minnesota. As the marchers gathered in front of the Columbia County Courthouse, St. Helens High School senior Savannah Manning, a black teen, spoke to the crowd and read her thoughts urging those attending the event to help communities move forward in a positive way to end racial injustice. “I do feel like I have accom-

2020 Graduation: Hope, Resilience JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Smiles and tears, elbow touching instead of handshakes (for social distancing safety) and wishes of good luck were part of the 2020 St. Helens High School graduation ceremony Friday afternoon, June 5. This senior class experienced a ceremony like no other due to state and local restrictions and guidelines triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The graduation was held at the Columbia County Courthouse in the Old Town District of St. Helens. Seniors were driven to the side of Plaza Square, which fronts the courthouse. They exited their vehicles, walked to the steps of the courthouse. As their names were announced, they walked up the steps, received their diploma, walked back down the steps, had their photos taken, were congratulated by school board members and Superintendent Scot Stockwell, and then each senior returned to their vehicles and left. During their brief trip up and down the courthouse steps, family members were allowed to take Jeremy C. Ruark / The Chronicle

‘Affordable housing community’ planned JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Construction of what developers call a 238-unit affordable housing community off Gable Road and Highway 30 could begin in the summer of 2021 if funding is secured. Cost Developers estimate the cost to construct the project (hard costs) is $49,115,000. Hard costs are the actual physical construction of real estate development. The total cost to develop the project (hard costs plus soft costs) is $69,690.000. Soft construction costs are those incurred in the construction of a building that are not directly related to labor and physical building materials. There currently is not an estimate of the project’s market value after construction is completed, according to the a spokesperson for the project. Vision The housing project is envisioned as a true intergenerational community, connecting working adults, families, and seniors through high quality affordable housing in an environment that encourages interaction and neighborliness, according to a release from the developers. The project will be situated on over 18 acres and includes a grove of old trees within natural protected wetlands. Eleven buildings will dot the site, including 157 familysized units in five three story walk-up apartment buildings, 31 townhomes divided across four buildings, an 80-unit senior housing building, and a 4,500-square-foot community building. The release states that the community building is central to the site and is designed to be where families and seniors come together around a large gathering space with a full kitchen for multi-generational meals and social events. The building also includes rooms for studying/tutoring, a computer room, TV room, and shared conference rooms. The development team’s approach to the outdoor space is rooted in the simple idea that nature is good for us, according to the release. The site has been designed to take advantage of the on-site wetlands by including a trail system that runs along its edge and ample outdoor spaces for recreational opportunities, including grass fields, picnic and BBQ areas, and gardening areas with fruit trees allowing residents to grow and share culturally relevant foods. Developers Community Development Partners (CDP), an affordable housing development company and Northwest Oregon Housing Authority (NOHA), which administers federal Housing

Choice Vouchers and owns and operates rental properties in Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties, have partnered to develop the 238-unit affordable housing community. “I am excited about housing coming to St. Helens that has been long overdue and that will bring a community of families together,” Northwest Oregon Housing Authority board chair Nina Reed said. “The intergenerational feature of the plan provides an opportunity for healthy living through an emphasis on nature and wellness to enhance lives.” “We are thrilled to be partnered with NOHA as we begin moving forward with St. Helens Apartments,” CDP CEO Eric Paine said. “We’re in the midst of a housing crisis here in Oregon that is only being exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic. This project will help meet the local housing need by providing quality, affordable homes for Columbia County residents as well as serving as a hub for important social services that support our residents and enhance the larger community.” Affordable component The release also stated that the St. Helens Apartments will provide desperately needed affordable housing options coupled with robust resident service opportunities for families and seniors within Columbia County. Units will be available to residents who make at or below 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Community services will be helmed by EngAGE, a culturally responsive organization with 20 years of experience changing lives through transformative affordable, multigenerational apartment communities. “St. Helens Apartments is an amazing opportunity to create an intentional community where services focused on housing stability, art, wellness, lifelong learning and community engagement can be housed under one roof,” EngAGE Founder and CEO Tim Carpenter said. “This project will not only meet a housing need, it will meet a service need for communities of color, seniors, and low-income residents in Columbia County.” Next step The St. Helens Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for the project in September 2019. A current Local Innovation and Fast Track (LIFT) Rental funding application has been submitted to Oregon Housing and Community Services to try and secure much needed funding for the project, according to the release. If awarded, construction is expected to begin in June 2021 and be completed by December 2022.

City’s State of Emergency still in force JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Even as Columbia County and the City of St. Helens move into Phase 2 of the state’s reopening framework with less public restrictions, Mayor Rick Scholl tells The Chronicle, the State of Emergency declaration he issued in March is still in place. “No, we are not lifting the State of Emergency for now because that would close the door on funding,” Scholl said. “We don’t have any regulations for the State of Emergency, so if we were to lift the declaration it would close down future funding for small businesses.” In fact, on June 3, the St. Helens City Council approved a $150,000 COVID-19 block grant to assist small business impacted by the pandemic and state ordered closures. In early May, King told The Chronicle that the city was able to assist nonprofits impacted by the health crisis.

“The City has provided direct monetary support to community-based nonprofits who are struggling to meet the needs of most of the area’s vulnerable neighbors, including the Columbia Pacific Food Bank, St. Helens Senior Center, Columbia County DHS Child Welfare, in-kind support to the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, and utility assistance funding administered through Community Action Team,” King said. There is no timeline for when the city’s State of Emergency might be lifted, Scholl said. “Phase 2 might go through September, is what the governor has said, so hopefully we will be out of it by then,” he said.

city will begin reopening its government offices. “We plan to reopen city offices and buildings as soon as it is safe to do so, regardless of the status of the State of Emergency,” King said. “Right now, safety equipment, such as plexiglass, sanitation supplies, etc., is being ordered and installed at each of our offices and buildings. Once a work area has the needed safety equipment installed, any necessary sanitation supplies, and a plan in place to meet the current state guidelines, we will be reopening that location or work area.” King said as the various city departments reopen, public announcements will be made. “You may see some office areas reopening very shortly,” King said.

The closures included St. Helens City Hall, public library, public works offices, city police department lobby, and the St. Helens Recreation Center. All city recreation program events were also canceled. St. Helens Municipal Court was limited to previously scheduled court appearances and city council meetings were done electronically. Essential in-person meetings with city staff were arranged by appointment. St. Helens police officers and St. Helens public works crews continued to respond to calls. Water service disconnections for non-payment of a St. Helens utility bill were temporarily stopped. The City of St. Helens also created a webpage related to COVID-19.

The City of St. Helens has applied for two community development block grants (CDBG) to provide funds for to assist small businesses and micro-enterprise assistance during the pandemic. The first grant would provide $50,000 of needed equipment, like masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and single-use plastic bags. The second grant would provide $150,000 to as many small businesses as according to City possible, Communications Officer Crystal King.

dents because public services

have been stretched thin during the pandemic, King said. While health-related agencies, first responders, law enforcement and other municipal people are already equipped with needed personal protective equipment (PPE), some entities that were lacking in the equipment will now receive needed supplies. “There are outstanding PPE needs for communitybased public service agencies,” King said. Columbia County Emergency Management (CCEM) and Columbia County Public Health work to meet the needs of healthcare facilities and workers to supply them with PPE. That doesn’t mean that other entities don’t also need PPE, but those needs are met through grants like this one, according to King. Some of those public service agencies that need PPE and can’t necessarily be supplied through CCEM or

Public Health include Meals on Wheels, a program run by the St. Helens Senior Center, which receives its funding through the Community Action Team (CAT). COVID-19 Community Development Block Grant Emergency Assistance funds will make PPE and other necessary supplies available to public service agencies county-wide through an agreement between the City of St. Helens, Columbia County and Community Action Team,” King said. “Supplies and material stocks need to be replenished and maintained if vital community services are to be available to the individuals and families that we serve.”

funding amounts will vary according to business need, King said. “The Emergency Business Assistance grant program is intended to do help businesses remain solvent through the crisis and be ready/able to rebuild and/or reopen and to fill specific cash flow gaps in businesses’ larger efforts to scale down, reduce expenses and take any additional defensive measures to survive the crisis,” King said. The city estimates the program will benefit at least 60 to 100 business owners and their employees, all of which will be low- or moderate-income.

However, priority will be given to businesses with 25 or fewer employees, according to city officials. “As our community begins to recover from this economic disaster, the partner team will evaluate how to best use these funds if we are awarded the grant. Program and evaluation materials are currently being developed,” King said. The city is operating in partnership with Columbia County Economic Team (CCET) and the Col-Pac Economic Development District to disburse the funds should they be awarded, according to King.

Business Oregon originally invited the city to apply for the grant because the city has an open CDBG grant and because the city meets certain eligibility requirements to receive the funds. “The St. Helens City Council and staff are committed to strong partnerships county-wide and see this as an opportunity to assist businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic,” King said. According to the Business Oregon website, St. Helens will be notified whether or not both grants were awarded by the end of this month.

More than others JERRY COLE Chronicle Guest Column

For these past few difficult months, it is often said that “we are all in this together.” Yet, given the recent actions by Governor Kate Brown, it appears some of us are more in this together than others. It appears she and her administration are not in this with Oregon’s small business community and the smaller towns and rural areas where those same family businesses are the lifeblood of the community. When Congress overwhelmingly, and with bipartisan support, passed the massive CARES Act, and got the swift approval of the President, it looked like many in our communities would have a cushion to help us all get past this unprecedented disruption to our lives. There were direct payments to families and individuals, grant and loan programs for businesses, and money for states, counties, cities, and tribes. It is not perfect and there were issues with delivery and execution, but it was a start. For state and local government, the US Treasury sent out specific guidelines and forms with the money going to governors for disbursement. Much of the money was meant as reim-

bursement in broad categories that included payment for protective equipment, overtime of first responders and healthcare workers, paying the costs of food delivery and quarantine, and the costs of keeping government running, including sick leave, should revenues run dry. Those are good goals. and in Rainier, from March 1 to May 15, we requested about $3300 in expenses for protective equipment and staff costs. We are appreciative. But we were stunned when we saw the town of Kalama, Washington, across the Columbia River, was giving grants to local businesses to help keep them operating until better times. I was asked by a citizen why we do not do that. I investigated it and discovered that Governor Brown and her administration, contrary to federal guidelines, had deleted that line from the forms we were required to file for those other costs. Nearly every other state and territory was making loans and grants to small businesses through local governments except Oregon. We are not given a mechanism to help those family operated businesses that are often our economic engines and producers of jobs. I was angry, hurt, and bewildered. It was unbelievable to me that in the worst crisis to hit our community in over

a century, our governor had turned her back on us. Rainier is not unique. We are like dozens upon dozens of communities that are in many Oregon counties. We are restaurants, shops, and offices that are locally owned and staffed by our neighbors. Many of those businesses have been effectively closed since March and many people have struggled with job loss or dramatically reduced hours. A program like that one in Kalama can make a difference not only to those small businesses, but to how well our small communities and rural areas across the state survive once the virus threat is past. Shame on you, Kate Brown, for making the burden heavier for hard working Oregonians. We are strong and we are proud—not ones to be easily seeking assistance. But when times are tough, we do expect our government to respond—just as Congress and the President mandated with the CARES Act. We deserve better—not just in Rainier, but across the state. It does not matter if we are Republicans, Democrats, or Independent—we are all Oregonians. Again, shame on you for playing politics with our communities. Jerry Cole is mayor of the City of Rainier. He may be reached at 503-556-7301.

Our promise and pride KELLY FITZPATRICK Chronicle Guest Column

Those of us who once wore a military uniform swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States and the principles upon which our nation was founded: that all people are created equal, and that everyone has the basic human right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That promise became part of our very identity, something that we took pride in then and continue to take great pride in now. Because those principles are also part of my identity as a veteran and as a leader in state government, I am deeply troubled by the senseless killing of George Floyd. His brutal murder, and that of so many Black Americans before him, is so contrary to our nation’s fundamental, shared values that it has left many of us shocked, angered, and searching for a meaningful response. George Floyd’s death is also a reminder that for many Americans, particularly people of color, their life experiences fall short of the ideals upon which our nation was founded. Although I can never fully understand the frustration and life experiences of Black Americans, I can call

attention to the deeply-rooted racial injustices in this country and in this state. I can call attention to the fact that many of the systems in place contribute to those injustices to this day. I am aware that how we collectively respond regardless of our individual perspectives will chart the course of our nation moving forward. While in military service, veterans from all walks of life have risked their lives in combat to oppose the repression of basic human rights around the globe. Many even worked to right wrongs within the military experienced by Black and brown Americans, women, and LGBTQ individuals who simply wanted to serve our country and yet encountered injustice in the ranks. ODVA’s work with underserved and marginalized veterans highlights the impact of this inequality and the ceaseless need for such work to continue. Today ODVA joins others in our nation calling for more than words --for meaningful transformational change. Admittedly, the work ODVA does to help right the wrongs that many veterans have experienced who have been traditionally underserved by our system is small considering the magnitude of the need. However, we will continue to stand united

to ensure the work ODVA does genuinely reflects the basic ideals that our veterans swore to uphold. We will also listen. As an agency, we want to create an environment where all veterans’ voices are heard and respected and move us to action. As we go forward through this painful time, I share with you my commitment that ODVA will continue to work to fulfill our vision that all veterans and their families thrive in Oregon, regardless of race, ethnicity, or skin color, gender, ability, or sexual orientation. By doing so, ODVA will make its own modest contribution to the larger effort to ensure that all Americans live free from systemic injustice, violence, and prejudice, and have the opportunity to pursue a life of dignity, free of fear and full of hope. Those are the ideals upon which our veterans swore an oath to defend, and they are the core of ODVA’s commitment to serve, honor, and advocate for Oregon’s veterans and their families. Sincerely, Kelly Fitzpatrick Kelly Fitzpatrick is the Director of the Oregon Veterans Affairs Department. She may be reached at 503-3732085.

Equality I have a friend, Evan, who is a white man. For many years he had a close friend named James who was a black man. James is gone now. Evan is 87. Evan recalls when he and James were together amongst other people, he could feel what James was feeling - that there was something in the air suggesting the inappropriateness of the two being friends. He said James felt this on a continuing basis. He was very uncomfortable in a crowd of white men. James was an accomplished musician. He entertained the people in St. Helens at 13 Nights on the River and it was great. My husband and I never missed one of his performances. Perhaps some of you remember Sweet Baby James. Evan called James one

morning and asked how he was doing. James answered - “Well, I’m not sure. I woke up this morning and I’m still black.” Then I heard the beautiful young woman, who was a senior at the local high school this last year, telling how in seventh grade, when all girls her age were proud of their long hair, was told by a teacher she had to pull her hair back and secure it because it was too full. I hope that teacher heard this bright, articulate young woman on television last Wednesday night and feels the shame she well deserves. If fact, I hope like hell all of us feel the shame of not doing much, much more over the past 157 years to become all one people - with equal rights and equal expectations. The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 freed African Americans in rebel states, and after the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment emancipated all U.S. slaves wherever they were. This from Wikipedia: “As a result, the mass of Southern blacks now faced the difficulty Northern blacks had confronted--that of a free people surrounded by many hostile whites.” Please think about this, all of you. That was 157 years ago and we still must march in protest for the hopes of stopping the slaying of our U.S. citizens because of the color of their skin. One Hundred and Fifty-Seven Years. And now for the crux of this letter to the editors. I have never been more proud of the people of St. Helens, young and old alike, than I was on June 3 as I awaited the arrival of the marching protestors in downtown St. Helens to proudly state that “Black Lives Matter.” As they rounded the corner onto First Street, I could not believe their numbers. They just kept coming and coming - peacefully determined. I believe the estimate was between 1,000 to 1,200 participants. Whatever, they were overwhelming. Tears flowed freely down my face as I thanked them all as best I could - my husband, my daughter, my dear friend, Columbia County Commis-

sioner Alex Tardiff, Port Commissioner Nancy Ward and for all those marching beside them - for doing what I was unable to do - marching for equality for all. Thank you for reading. Nancy Whitney St. Helens

False Narrative There’s a narrative happening in our country right now that you can be either anti-racist or pro-police. That you cannot support your black brothers and sisters while still supporting your community police officers. It’s false. We’ve been conditioned to look at things as either/or and it runs through everything we do. The truth is that life is lived in the and. In the nuance that understands that America has been built on the racism and exploitation of any people who are not white; that there is a systematic problem in our country that black and brown people live out every day. and that there are police officers who work within the community to dismantle this racism however they can. We can understand that the system is flawed and killing people, and also see the individuals in the system who are using their power to speak out for justice, who would take a bullet for the community members they serve, regardless of their skin tone. Who have signed up to die in my place. And yours. And our black sisters and brothers. I can teach my kids that black lives matter, that white privilege is real and that we respect and support our police. Because all of these systems and groups and movements and protests and organizations and forces are also individuals. It’s living in the messy tension of seeing both that brings understanding and effects change. My heart can be broken for the protestors and the police officers. It is. Sarah Frobisher St. Helens

New Cornelius Pass work Traffic Closures

Crews added asphalt to a section of Cornelius Pass Road as part of the 2019 improvement project. JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Columbia County drivers who use Cornelius Pass for commuting will need to plan for alternative routes later this month. More improvement

work, left over from a major $5.6 million renovation project in 2019, is necessary, according to planners with the Multnomah County Transportation Division. Exact timing of the road work is pending. Look for more details as they be-

come available at thechronicleonline.com and in the Wednesday print editions of The Chronicle. The specific safety improvements include NW Cornelius Pass Road between Highway 30 and NW Kaiser Road. The work includes

signage, vehicle pullouts, barriers and guardrails, and reduced pavement drop-offs. The project also includes larger safety improvements at four locations. The Oregon Legislature allocated funding to Multnomah County for the enhancements.

NW Cornelius Pass Road will be closed to through traffic between Highway 30 and NW Skyline Boulevard from late June to early September. There will be a hard road closure at NW 8th Avenue where an under-road creek culvert will be replaced. Access will be maintained for local residents, but some residents will have longer routes than usual. Detour routes for through traffic will be in place during the project. • Cars and pickup trucks should detour from Highway 30 to NW Newberry Road then to NW Skyline Boulevard to rejoin southbound NW Cornelius Pass Road. • Large trucks will need to use Highway 30 to I-405 south to Highway 30. • Vehicles carrying hazardous materials should use Highway 30 to I-405 south, continuing to I-5 south, then Highway 217 north to Highway 26. The northern section between Highway 30 and NW Skyline will be closed to through traffic from late June until early September. In-water work will be conducted during

due to environmental rules. Realignment of the S curves is also planned. History The Cornelius Pass Improvement construction began in 2019 and ended late that year. The work occurred along the steep, winding and narrow section of NW Cornelius Pass Road, which has a long history of traffic crashes. The project was designed to reduce some of the rural road’s sharp curves, increase sight distance for drivers, improve road shoulders, and install caution signs, guardrails and barriers.

Garden Plots: June in your garden CHIP BUBL Chronicle Guest Column

Lasso that mower We have had great grass growing weather and our lawn mowers are getting a workout. But you need to guide your mower around tree trunks, not race through the job. I have seen a number of trees that never got the chance to live to old age from mower damage to the bark. Some trees (dogwoods, for example) are especially susceptible to fungal disease caused by injury to the base of the tree. But all trees can get attacked by soil fungi that normally can’t get any traction until bark is damaged near the soil line. It can get ugly fast and is cured by a chain saw. So, slow down. Root maggots

We don’t even like to think about maggots. But gardeners must. There are two flies that can lay eggs that turn into maggots in our crops. First is the cabbage

root maggot. The tiny fly legs eggs that hatch and attack the roots of all cabbage family crops. Cauliflower is especially sensitive to their feeding. You may see a fairly large plant suddenly wilt and you have been watering appropriately. When the plant is dug up, the maggots are visible, white and plump from eating the roots. When they feed in radishes and turnips, the ick factor is ramped up, especially if noticed after the first bite of the radish. Another vegetable affected by maggots are carrots courtesy of the carrot rust fly. While the holes and size of the maggots are not as large as the cabbage maggot, they provide a channel for a plant disease to get into the carrot and rot it. Again, not a pretty picture. So how are they controlled? The best answer is to exclude them. Plant radishes under a row cover and keep it on until harvest (35-40 days after planting). You can also use row covers on carrots but they need to be either on some support or be very light weight row covers to allow for more foliage growth in a longer growing season. Finally, rotate your ground to reduce problems. Excessive new growth in hard pruned apple trees If you pruned a lot from your apple tree earlier this year, you will see a lot of

“water sprouts” emerging where major limbs were cut off or on other locations on the limbs. These new shoots can be removed all summer long. Often they can be just pulled off. Doing it now through mid-August will reduce the work next winter. If you want to save a few of these the create branches in selected places, start gently guiding them in the direction you want them to grow with either twine, small weights, or a wooden splint. Prune spring/early summer flowering plants now: Early flowering plants like rhododendrons, mock oranges (a native plant blooming right now), camellias, and many others are best pruned now to guarantee that you will a good floral display next year. Reasons for pruning include size control, reducing “leggy” growth, and/ or stimulating an abundance of flowers next year. Watering and mulching new trees: Despite all the

rain last weekend, we are still somewhat behind on rain for this time of year. Surface moisture is ok for now but you don’t have to dig very far down to see a drier soil. For new trees, it is important to provide a through soaking each day for the first

week, making to get water deep into the ground to encourage deeper rooting. Continue the same deep soaking technique but you can back off to twice a week for the next 4-6 weeks. If August is blistering hot and windy, you may have to water 3 times a week to get through that weather. You can mulch around trees to conserve moisture but keep the mulch layer no more than three inches thick and 5 inches away from the trunk of the tree. The OSU Extension office is closed to face-to-face public contact but you can still reach us We are developing plans for re-opening that will

have to be approved by the University and ultimately, the Governor. Our target is mid-June.

St. Helens to hold special burn periods The City of St. Helens is holding a special burn period for residential open burning in St. Helens city limits that begins on Saturday, June 13 and ends on Sunday, June 28.

This special burn period is intended to replace the annual spring burn period that was postponed in May due to COVID-19. The Oregon Fire Defense Board will close all residential open burning

effective July 1, 2020. Because this special burn period is being held later in the season than usual, it is extremely important to check the burn line each time you burn to reduce the risk of

wildfires. Burn bans may still be in effect even if you have obtained a burn permit. Always check the burn line at 503-397-4800 to find out if it is an open burn day. Before burning anything

Obituaries Dorothy Ann St. John

Connie Mallory

Aug. 10, 1937 ~ May 29, 2020

June 28, 1948 ~ May 1, 2020 Connie passed away May 1, 2020 at the Hospice Care Center in Longview, Washington. Connie was born June 28, 1948 in Longview, Washington to Viola and Clarence Wakefield. She married Stan Mallory on March 30, 1968. Stan was drafted into the Army a few months later and she moved back with her parents in Longview. When he returned from Vietnam, they moved to Fort Lewis, Washington until he was discharged. They moved to St. Helens, Oregon where they have resided since. Connie was a homemaker while raising their two young children. She loved doing things with her children, family, friends and especially her sisters. Connie had many talents and interests. She sewed many clothes for herself and the children, gardening, crafts, and her latest passion was quilting. She loved their property in the mountains of Baker County, Oregon and

was very involved in building their log home there. Connie had a very full and satisfying employment career. She worked at the Trojan Nuclear Power Plant for many years as an Engineering Secretary/Clerk until it closed. She returned to school at Western Business College and graduated as a Legal Secretary. She was employed at the law firm of Bullock & Regier in Portland, Oregon as a legal Secretary. After a few years of fighting the traffic on Highway 30, Connie decided she would

rather spend more time with her family and friends doing the things she enjoyed. After a couple of years, she started working for Paulson Logging as their secretary. This worked well for her as it was a short distance from home, not full time, she could take her little dog Muff to work with her, and still have time for the things she enjoyed. Connie is survived by her husband Stan Mallory; two children, daughter Andrea Mallory of St. Helens, Oregon and son Scott Mallory of Greenville, South Carolina; three grandchildren, Arielle Mallory, Adrian Mallory, and Jake Sperley; and five greatgrandchildren. She was preceded in death by son Paul Steven Mallory; and brother Wayne Wakefield. A burial for Connie took place on May 12, 2020 at Yankton Hillcrest Cemetery in St. Helens, Oregon. A service is not planned at this time. Please sign our online guestbook at www.columbiafh.com

Karen Lorraine Chandler Aug. 16, 1938 ~ May 26, 2020

Karen Lorraine (Oberst Huettl Bailey Peake) Chandler was born on a Tuesday, August 16, 1938 in Corvallis, Oregon. Her early years were lived on the Siletz with her high-spirited mother, Ida Nancy Chandler Oberst and her hard-working father, Carl William Oberst Sr. and six siblings. She had fond memories of the reservation coastal land and loved to tell stories of the first nation people who lived there. She spent the majority of her childhood in the high desert of Bend, Oregon among the sagebrush and juniper with her beloved horse Dixie (named after her favorite western book “Beyond Rope and Fence”). She eloped to Reno, Nevada at the age of eighteen and married her high school sweetheart, Leeland (Larry) Laurence Huettl. Her five sweet children roamed freely on ten acres of Bend countryside adjacent to her parent’s farm, where she built her own home rock by rock. Karen drove school bus in Bend and after the divorce, Tri-Met bus in Portland, Oregon. She remarried in 1976 and bought a large yacht with the intention to live on the sea and fish. Neither the marriage nor the boat lasted too long. After her third divorce in 1982 she decided marriage was not for her and took the last name Chandler which was her mother’s maiden name and could be traced back for centuries in the family. In 1987, since she always said she was born under a wandering star, she bought

a truck and drove long haul. She traveled all across the country, coming back with stories of turning leaves in Vermont, snow storms in the Midwest, traffic in New York, and the sweet air of the South. Karen then moved to Tijuana, Mexico, just because she could, but she missed her family and moved back after a year to teach Driver-Education in Los Angeles, California. She moved to Oregon where most of her grandbabies resided and drove local dump truck until she retired in 2000. When visiting with her children and grandchildren she liked to tell stories, play Gin Rummy and Pinochle, bake German pancakes, and watch old movies. She had many cats and monkeys throughout her life and hilarious stories to go with them. During the last few decades of her life she chose to live in Scappoose and always next to a river or creek where her green thumb flourished. Karen loved to tend chickens and rabbits in her wild enviable rose garden. Her home and her garden

were her canvas and her life never lacked self-expression. Karen was an accomplished painter, writer, sculptor, woodworker, jeweler, knitter, crafter, cake decorator, storyteller, photographer and gardener. She loved road trips, John Wayne movies, and the music of Neil Diamond, Johnny Mathis and Elvis Presley. One of her favorite movies was Paint Your Wagon and one of her favorite songs was Let the Rest of the World Go By. She passed peacefully at the age of 81 due to congestive heart failure on May 26th, 2020 in Saint Helens, Oregon. She is survived by three remaining siblings, Loren Albert Oberst, Charlotte Aby Benz and Glenne Willo Kruchkow; and three pre-deceased siblings; Arden Carleen Daly, Carl William Oberst Jr. and August Ray Oberst. She leaves behind 5 living children; Carleen Marie Thomas, Brett Jesse Huettl, Lorraine (Lorri) Louise Thornton, IdaLee Elaina Huettl and Rachel Arden DeBorde; as well as 12 beloved grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. No cards or flowers are needed. Just think of her every time you have that second dessert, see that photo worthy landscape, buy that silly trinket, or hear that old Elvis gospel song, because she will surely be thinking of you.

Dorothy Ann (Horn) St. John has left us on Friday, May 29, 2020. Dorothy was 82 years old. She was born in Oklahoma on August 10, 1937. Dorothy moved to St. Helens after WWII where she grew up and raised a family here. After her graduation from John Gumm High School she went to nursing school. Then she met and married Lowell St. John and they shared 57 happy years. Lowell was in the military, so she got to live in places like Germany, Texas and Washing-

ton to name a few. She worked here in St. Helens at Meadow Park care facility until she retired. She is survived by a brother Marvin Horn; sister Donna Gruenhagen; three children, William, Diana, and Patti; five grandchildren; and seven greatgrandchildren. There will be a graveside service at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 11, 2020 at Columbia Memorial Gardens in Scappoose, Oregon. Please sign our online guestbook at www. columbiafh.com.

Patty Ackerman for 28 years, and together they raised three children: Lori, Mark, and Jonathan. After finishing his military service, Conrad moved to Eugene, Oregon where he practiced dentistry from 1967 to 1975. He then moved to Portland, Oregon and worked as a dental director for Teamsters Medical Center until his retirement in 1998. Upon retirement, Conrad moved to Bend, Oregon for two years, but found the winters too long and cold. He missed his family and fishing in the Columbia River, so he moved to St. Helens, Oregon. He was an avid sportsman who enjoyed his yearly archery elk camp each fall in the Blue Mountains, as well as countless days in the duck

blind and angling for salmon and steelhead. A life member of The National Rifle Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Coastal Conservation Association, and Ducks Unlimited, he strongly supported conservation of our wildlife and the American lifestyle. Conrad is remembered and survived by his children, Lori Andrews, Mark Conrad Weitz and Jonathan Conrad Weitz, his brothers Fredrick James Weitz of Edmonds, Washington and Robin W. Weitz of Macon, Georgia and his grandchildren Thomas Crane Andrews and Brian Maxwell Andrews. He was preceded in death by his brother Dr. Ronald M. Weitz.
