Inmates learn to unlock life lessons from behind bars

Fire in St. Helens STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net

Investigators are still searching for the cause of a large fire at a St. Helens recycling plant.

A massive column of thick black smoke from the fire at the ORPET plant in the 58000 block of Old Portland Road could be seen throughout St. Helens late Sunday afternoon, July 28.

According to Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR), the fire was mostly contained to large stacks of plastic squares for recycling consisting of plastic, such as soda and water bottles.

Some fire spread to the surrounding vegetation but was quickly contained by fire crews.

No buildings were damaged.

Firefighters from CRFR, Scappoose Fire District and the Oregon Department of Forestry worked quickly to contain the

Inmates gather for the discussion class “Christian Perspectives” led by instructor Brad Pyle.

Why does God let bad things happen?

On the afternoon of July 24, the inmates who volunteered to take the Columbia County Jail’s Life Lessons program, convened in their pod for the class “Christian Perspectives,” lead by Brad Pyle, to discuss just that. One inmate in particular was struggling with the concept of hell and the idea that even the justice system offers a restorative option after time served.

“If I was a dad, I would never send my children to hell forever and have them burn for all eternity,” the inmate said. “That’s not very compassionate in my opinion.”

“We’ve actually talked about that one,” church liaison and instructor

Bob Thiessen said. “And it will always be the same response. It’s not God that casts someone into hell for eternity. That person makes that decision themselves to reject God, to reject his only means by which one could be saved. If someone ends up in hell for eternity, that’s not what God wanted for them, and that answer will never change.”

Another inmate jumped in to agree. “I taught my son not to do drugs and drink and drive, but then if he goes out and drinks and drives and kills himself, that’s a choice he made. That’s the way I’m looking at it,” the inmate offered. “That’s his choice. I taught my kid not to drink and drive.”

“Did you stop loving him?”

Thiessen asked.

“No. And then you hurt even more because I taught my son not to do this,” the inmate said.

“I’d like to volunteer that God always loves you and he always will, but he doesn’t save by his love,” Thiessen said. “He loves those that he doesn’t save.”

The class will take up two and a half hours of a 12-hour day.

Throughout the week, the inmates will take classes covering grief, marriage enrichment, “seeing with your ears” which covers interpersonal communication, parenting, stress and anger management, as well as a class based on Dave Ramsey’s model covering financial freedom. Peppered in are various

CPCCO offers Finnish baby boxes to promote infant sleep safety

JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

The United States ranks 56th in the world in infant mortality, barely breaking the top 25 percent, falling behind

such countries as BosniaHerzegovina and Latvia. In an effort to decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the Columbia Pacific CCO (CPCCO) has partnered with local health care provider Columbia

Health Services (CHS) to provide Finnish-style baby boxes to expectant mothers.

According to CPCCO, the baby boxes promote sleep safety and convenience for the family. They are made of water-repellent corrugated material with seamless construction, making them strong and durable.

They come equipped with a CertiPUR-certified mattress, a 100 percent cotton sheet and information on sleep safety.

“It’s such a simple idea – keeping your baby close while they sleep – and so convenient,” Safina Koreishi, MD, medical director for CPCCO said. “The boxes are designed by pediatricians and sleep safety experts. All of the components of the boxes meet or exceed Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) bassinet standards, yet they are lightweight to carry and very sturdy in terms of weight capacity.”

New Clastkanie mother,

Sierra Sanders, recently received a baby box for her two-month-old infant, Aryah Young.

“It’s very convenient,” Sanders said. “We went on vacation for about a week and we put all the baby stuff in it. It’s good for getting from point A to point B. Then the baby stuff comes out and she has a bed already there.”

Patti Atkins, CPCCO communication consultant, said the boxes are made in Portland, and it was a nurse in Portland who came up with the idea to hand them out.

“She was at Emmanuel hospital and became a specialist in children’s safety, which I think is really cool,” Atkins said. “In Finland they do these all the time, obviously.”

The Finnish-style baby box program was launched in 1938, when almost one in ten children died during their first year of life. The country has now achieved one of the

lowest infant mortality rates in the world, recording 2.3 deaths/1,000 live births in 2017, according to United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) data.

Exhausted parents are often attracted to sleepers that attach by sliding under the edge of their mattress or have a lip on them so they can be put in the middle of a bed, but those are not CPSC certified, according to Atkins.

“When you’re a new parent, you both are just so exhausted and sometimes you’re not making good decisions,” Atkins said. “Parents can put these boxes right next to their bed or in the middle of the bed to keep the baby close.”

The boxes can be picked up at the CHS office, located at 2370 Gable Road, by anyone on the Oregon Health Plan. CHS home visiting nurse Rachel Krager said the program is also being implemented in Tillamook and Clatsop counties.

Fact Sheet: National Institute of Health safe-sleep guidelines • Put baby on their back to sleep – every time.

• Use a safe sleep surface, like a baby box, for every sleep time.

• Don’t let baby sleep on soft surfaces (like an adult bed, sofa or couch).

• Share a room, but not a bed, with the baby.

• Keep pillows, blankets, toys, and crib bumpers out of baby’s sleep area.

• Don’t smoke, or let others smoke, around the baby.

• Dress baby in sleep clothing – like footie pajamas or wearable blankets – not a loose blanket.

• Breastfeed if mom is available.

• Offer a pacifier.

Support and criticism for NEXT lease at work session CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The community turned out for a presentation and discussion about an upcoming lease with NEXT Renewable Fuels, Inc., expressing both concerns and support for the new biofuels facility to be located at Port Westward in Clatskanie.

At 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, the Port of Columbia County held a work session at the Columbia Learning Center in the St. Helens Public Library, 375 S. 18th Street in St. Helens.

The location, different from where typical port meetings are held, was to ensure there was enough room for everyone, as the community has expressed a lot of interest in the lease, according to Gina Sisco, Public Relations Representative for the port.

Bob Salisbury, Legal Counsel for the port, and Lou Soumas, NEXT Renewable Fuels President and Director, led a presentation about the lease, expected to take effect at Port Westward in Clatskanie in the spring of 2020. The presentation covered the general timeline for the lease, the lease’s security deposit, general uses outlined in the lease, and the hazardous substances review process. Port commissioners commented throughout the presentation, and the public was allowed to comment at the end.

The full presentation

is available online on the port’s website, but during the presentation, Salisbury and Soumas answered a few questions from port commissioners. Salisbury said that the project can be canceled until the Project Approval Decision, estimated to be in the spring of 2020. Commissioner Nancy Ward asked to clarify if the cancellation could be done by either the port or by NEXT. Salisbury answered that only NEXT could choose to cancel.

Port Commissioner Chris Iverson commented about the potential fall-out of an environmental disaster. “It should be on NEXT’s dime,” Iverson said, if things don’t go well, such as if there is a big environmental clean-up.

“We have been burned once on that.”

Salisbury also stressed different parts of permitted uses, outlined in the contract. In red, outlined in the power point presentation is that “The Project will be limited to processing only renewable feedstocks, received by oceangoing vessels, limited to manifest rail as agreed between Port and Lessee, and no unit trains.”

Also in the presentation, Salisbury stressed that products include “used cooking oils; animal fats and tallows; yellow, white and brown greases; and virgin seed and vegetable oils.” It states that products from the project include renewable diesel and renewable propane, and that

Christine Menges/The Chronicle

Paulette Lichatowich, St. Helens Resident and former port commissioner, expresses her concerns about the lease.

“propane is to be retained and used on-site as process gas.”

It was a common theme throughout the presentation that the project would not use the rail, and that propane must be used on-site. Virgin palm oil is not an approved use, the project states.

The presentation also includes a map of the project.

The map is not finalized, as Soumas said that the pipeline indicated on the map was going to change because of issues with PGE, because PGE leases some land from the port, and the pipeline runs through their land. The pipeline is also going to stay about 2,000 feet away from the river because of seismic issues, Soumas said.

After the presentation,

the floor was open for public comment.

Greg Hinkelman, Clatskanie City Manager, said he was supportive of the project, because on a macro level, Clatskanie needs a diversity of jobs, it can’t be a one-industry town, and they need bigger industries to come in.

Bob Brajcich, Clatskanie Mayor, said he supported the project, that it was perfect for Clatskanie, and he saw this as a balance between creating jobs and protecting the environment.

Several county residents expressed concerns, however.

Brady Preheim, of St. Helens said he was concerned about the port not vetting the company enough.

“Your responsibility is to do due diligence and vet this company as much as you can,” Preheim said, saying he believed the port has often not vetted companies enough in the past. He also said he felt that two weeks was not enough time to approve the lease, and the port needed to have a fund in place for cleanup “whether that’s in five years or a hundred years,” because the plant would eventually close and need to be cleaned up.

Paulette Lichatowich of Columbia City, and a former port commissioner, said that after looking over the contract, “I don’t see the mention of the use agreements.

And to go ahead with this project and not have those dock and rail agreements between Global, PGE and NEXT tied down seems very foolish, because we know that it’s taken a long time for the port to negotiate with PGE for dock usage and there’s very limited space.”

Lenny Peterson of Scappoose said that the project “looks good on paper,” but that he thought “there’s still some areas that need to be improved in the lease agreement.” Peterson said he thought the port should increase the required security deposit, because he saw that inflation was not taken into account. He also said the lease should require NEXT to add a minimum amount of jobs to the county.

At the end of the work

session, Iverson said he heard “really good input. I appreciate it. I appreciate constructive criticism.”

Due to the meeting being a work session, no action on the lease was taken. Other informational meetings on the subject have also been scheduled. NEXT held one meeting on Thursday, July 25 at the Clatskanie Cultural Center, and there will also be a town hall on the topic at Columbia City Community Hall on August 6.

There will be one final meeting on August 7, a regular port commission meeting, where the lease will be on the agenda as a resolution. According to Sisco, that meeting will also likely be held at the Columbia Learning Center, rather than the typical port location, due to interest from the community.

In other port news, the port had a brief re-election at the beginning of the meeting to change certain port positions. Previously, Chip Bubl had been elected as Vice President of the port, but port commissioners realized port by-laws stipulate that port commissioners elected for either President or Vice President must have served on the commission for at least one year. Due to this stipulation, Robert Keyser was elected as Vice President and Chip Bubl was elected as Treasurer. All other port positions remain the same.

Five local sheriffs convene to renew mutual aid agreement JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

When Chief Ralph Painter was shot in the line of duty in 2011, various law enforcement agencies from Oregon and Washington responded to assist. Afterwards, however, questions arose surrounding the extent of their authority once they crossed state lines.

Following the incident, sheriffs from five surrounding counties met to draft a mutual aid agreement. On July 22, 2019, sheriffs representing those counties, the majority

of them elected since 2011, reconvened at the Wahiakum County Courthouse to renew and sign the agreement.

“Only one sitting sheriff,

Sheriff Bergin from Clatsop County, remained from the original signers,” Columbia County Sheriff Brian Pixley said. “The sheriffs involved

collectively believed this was something that should be renewed for the newly elected sheriffs.”

According to Pixley, the agreement continues the longstanding tradition of cooperation between their jurisdictions, and their commitment to providing emergency aid assistance.

The five local sheriffs who signed included Pixley, Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin, Cowlitz County Sheriff Brad Thurman, Pacific County Sheriff Robin Souvenir, and Wahiakum County Sheriff

Mark Howie. The meeting marked the first time the agreement had been addressed since it was established in 2011.

The agreement allows responding agencies the authority necessary to respond to emergencies in these neighboring counties but does not apply to routine policing activities.

“Mutual aid agreements such as this one encourage collaboration and provide agencies from different states the ability to render necessary aid in emergency situations,” Pixley said. “It is my pleasure to renew this agreement and pledge the assistance of Columbia County.”

Miscellaneous topics Irrigation is so important in August. Subsurface moisture is depleted by now, temperatures are hot and plants are at crucial stages of growth. We get very little rain in August. Most gardens and lawns will need an inch of water or more per week to keep going. Trees or shrubs planted this spring need more water because their root systems are not well developed.

Sunburn can be a problem on apples and broadleaf evergreens. Any 95º plus weather is too much to handle. Most of the damage is on the south or west side of a plant. Damaged apples will not mature normally and will often fall off before ripening. Damaged leaves are browned at the tips or margins. They look bad but generally don’t constitute more than a cosmetic concern. If all the leaves were affected, the plant was grievously short of water or something is wrong with the

Poison hemlock For some reason, there appears to be an upsurge in the amount of poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) in Columbia County. This is not a new plant. It was unintentionally introduced by settlers to the region at least 150 years ago and has been part of the landscape ever since.

The plant is highly toxic to humans and livestock.

Socrates was forced to drink a concoction of this plant as fatal payment for being somewhat of an obnoxious dissident in Greece several thousand years ago (read

plants or chopping them with a “weedeater” can cause a dermal reaction in many people.

Poison hemlock is a carrot family biennial plant, meaning that seedlings that germinate this year over winter as visible rosettes (2-5 inches tall in the winter) which will bolt to flower next summer. The plant in flower is tall, often exceeding 5-6 feet. Flowering stems are very visible right now. The stems have characteristic purple spotting and the whole plant has a distinctive “mousy” odor.

The leaves are very lacey and almost fern-like.

The flower is similar to Queen Anne’s lace. Seeds fall near the stem and up to 85% can germinate immedi-

ately. Some will germinate the following year or two but seed viability is relatively short.

Poison hemlock needs disturbed ground or bare ground with little vegetative cover to get started. It can tolerate somewhat poor drainage (and may be more competitive in those areas) but does not require it. I have seen it along roadsides, field edges, and once, a luxuriant crop in someone’s back yard in Scappoose. It is showing up a lot more in residential landscapes. Often, it isn’t clear how the seeds got there.

There are some herbicides that will help control poison hemlock, but timing is crucial. There is little evidence that spraying the flowering stalk at this stage will keep the plant from going to seed.

And since a biennial dies after going to seed, what’s the point? Better to careful cut off the seed heads and destroy them.

It is more effective to establish a vigorous competitive cover (usually grass) where hem-lock seeds are germinating. Then selective herbicides that don’t damage grass can be used to control the escaped rosettes this fall

or next March/April.

Slow studies never learn CHRIS BRUMBLES Columbia County Coordinator Oregon Firearms Federation Founder, Irregulars 3%

The Fair Board has evidently learned nothing about their past oppressive behavior. Last year they harassed and violated the rights of Misty Fox and even as that case is still pending litigation or settlement, they put their tyranny caps on again this year and came out in true Brown Shirt fashion. I am

beginning to wonder if being a control freak is a prerequisite to being on the Fair Board, or if only low intelligent people or slow studies are considered.

On Friday the 19th of July, I was at the fair gathering signatures to recall Crazy Kate, to get the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance on the ballot, and register voters. I was approached in a rather aggressive manner and with an air of combat by two Fair Board members who told

me that I could not gather signatures unless I moved to the other side of the grounds.

I asked if they were referring to a Free Speech Zone and their reply was yes. I then informed them that “this is public property and wherever I am standing is a Free Speech Zone” as I reminded them that we are in the United States of America.

The harassment continued as I was told lies that they could not back up. One example is that I was told I was violating a phantom ordi-

nance that they were unable to produce or articulate. At one point they brought two St. Helens police officers and two deputies over as they made a scene saying I need to calm down ridiculous attempt to bear false witness against and entrap me, as I was perfectly calm; this was my second rodeo, not my first.

Later I learned that they had also harassed a friend of mine who was gathering signatures by the main gate; their tyrannical behavior

failed with him too. I was informed how some of the same people had made one of the “Moms for Medical Freedom” put a sweatshirt over her recall Kate Brown shirt because they didn’t like the message and then later accosted her again as she headed for her trailer.

When my friend (who was open carrying), was told to unload his pistol and then was asked to show his CHL, It brought back memories of three years ago when the Fair Board president tried

to throw me out because he assumed that I had a firearm which was perfectly legal… he lost that battle too.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

We will not let our county be turned into Multnomah where intimidation, lawlessness, and bullying tactics are commonplace to people who do not agree with the left wing radical agenda.

Please call the Fair Board and County Commissioners and ask that these dictators be held accountable.

Are we free, or just free to do what they tell us to do?

MICHAEL BOWMAN Chronicle guest column

My last article dealt with rights-of-conscience. This article deals with freedom.

The question before every American is: “are we free, or just free to do what they tell us to do?”

If personal freedom is the keystone attribute of America, why are so many people eager to surrender their personal freedoms and finances to the habitual liars and thieves?

One of my favorite songs is “Patterns” by the “Wieners” (a local St. Helen’s band). The lesson from “Patterns” is simple; history repeats itself. Those guys knew it back then, it’s still true today. But why are so many people incapable of seeing the repeating patterns?

Consider this, until the Civil War (a.k.a. War Between The States), it was commonplace for slavemasters to control every aspect of a slave. Let that sink in for a moment. The slave-masters tried to control

the very thoughts, beliefs, spirit, speech, and behaviors of slaves. There is a word for that type of control; tyranny.

Now, fast forward in today’s America the “master” is none other than “big brother”; even Salem has jumped on the “slave-master bandwagon”. Specifically, Kate Brown & the democrats in Salem must think we are free to do what Salem tell us to do. Salem ignores the people; they continue to push for socialism (tyranny), and the destruction of Oregon industry and families.

Remember, the Utopian promise of socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, and contrary to popular opinion, Sweden and Denmark are not socialist countries. They realized; it does not work at all. Remember the only tyrant a man should tolerate is his wife.

Now then, freedom is awesome, but it comes with responsibility. We should all strive to live free and enjoy life without infringing on the freedoms & rights of others.

We’re all responsible for our actions. When problems arise

(and they do), when compromise fails (and it does) we have a remedy, it’s called court.

It’s a crying shame Americans continue to capitulate all things (freedoms included) to “big brother” as if “big brother” cares enough or knows enough to resolve issues.

Trust me, based on previous performance, mathematics and the laws of probability it’s safe to conclude that “big brother” is not inclined, has no such knowledge, and no such will to resolve the issues. “Big brother’s” goal

is to push for a false Utopian vision that will ultimately bring us to George Orwell’s 1984. History repeats itself.

My advice; don’t sell your soul for a cheap bowl of soup (Genesis 25:29-34).

I believe Ronald Reagan was right when he said, “If the government knocks on your door and wants to help, slam the door and run!” And last, remember the song by “The Who;” Won’t Get Fooled Again.

“Global Partners is engaged in a dishonest scheme that could bring crude oil through Columbia County again and dramatically increase air pollution from the facility...The report raises concerns with the political donations from Global employees, Global’s track record of DEQ violations, and threats to safety along the rail and at the Port Westward facility.”

As a resident and constituent within the boundaries of the Port of Columbia County this alarms me. Especially, when in 2015, Global Partners attorneys Amy Gould and Sean Geary made two contributions of $7,500 each for mailing literature in sup-

port of still current Port of Columbia County Commissioner Keyser.

In fact, Port Commissioners Robert Keyser and Chris Iverson have both taken money more recently from Global Partners, and because of this, I have concerns over the Commissioners chairmanship. Quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, “I do not believe that we should be financed by the industries that we are supposed to be legislating and regulating and touching with our legislation.”

With that said, I’d like to request the Commissioners who have taken money from Global Partners to put the

community first and abstain from voting on any resolutions tied to their contributor so that the integrity of a clean, unbiased vote could take place, free of corporate influence.

Voices of the Community Electroshock I worked for many years at leading facilities as a level one trauma nurse. Providers at leading medical institutions are using a device and procedure that has no FDA testing for safety or effectiveness.

Procedure called electroshock involves up to 450 volts to the brain and greater. In the past, only approved for use in severe depression & as a last resort, but not so any longer.

Used for many conditions, and on our children, veterans, and during pregnancy. Under the guise of help it is actually inflicting traumatic brain injuries at a minimum, now

proven in a court of law. Suits being pursued around product liability, medical malpractice, and against the FDA. There are billions involved in US annually. Trusted providers criminally failing in their duty to warn, protect, and not harm.

Patients have been discounted in their complaints by their providers secondary to fear of litigation. They have been harmed under the guise of help for great profits.

It is time to expose this despite the monies, positions, and reputations involved. I ask that ECT patients now be seen as TBI patients in their outcomes, so that they may access needed rehabilitative

services that all other TBI patients have at their disposal.

The public is at great risk and the issue will no longer be swept under the carpet. Please see ectjustice. Thank you. https://www.madinamerica. com/2019/06/ect-litigationpatients-not-warned-braindamage-risk/ Deborah Schwartzkopff McMinnville

Assessing Oregon’s tobacco retail environment, statewide and locally JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) recently worked with multiple county health department staffs to conduct a statewide assessment of Oregon retailers that carry tobacco to study tobacco industry marketing and the product’s reach – specifically where minors are concerned.

The report generated by the OHA highlights ads and products designed to appeal to youth, as well as heavy marketing to communities of color and people living with lower incomes. It also included recommended strategies to help move retailers to a healthier position.

“The tobacco industry spends more than $100 million per year to market its products in Oregon communities,” Lillian Shirley, director of the OHA Public Health Division said. “It pours most of this money into convenience stores, grocery stores and other retailers where people shop daily. They know that kids who see tobacco market-

faith-based discussions, some after watching Christian movies. There are regular Bible studies, and the program offers Christian-based Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous groups twice a week. A new class has also been introduced to the program this year, called “Living with Mental Health Challenges.”

According to Captain Tony Weaver and Thiessen, there has been a noticeable improvement in behavior from those who have attended and completed one of the programs sessions, now in its fifth installment. Weaver said even local defense attorneys have asked how to get their clients into the program.

Overall, 58 have successfully come through the courses.

Background Weaver said Life Lessons was brought to the jail in June 2018 based on an attempt to bring more programs in to address mental health issues in the jail, but when they landed on a similar program successfully running in Omaha, Nebraska at a 1,400-bed jail, the staff realized the program was about something deeper.

“We were looking all over the country at programs that were working and we stumbled across this program in Nebraska. When we started talking to them about it, we realized it wasn’t really about mental health as much as it was for the spiritual health of the individuals,” Weaver said.

“We ultimately went and met with the people that run the Nebraska program, observed it in person, and they gave us all kinds of paperwork and stuff that we brought back.

Then we reached out to the

ing are more likely to start smoking and that tobacco ads trigger cravings for people trying to quit.”

Locally, the County Tobacco Prevention and Education Program (TPEP) coordinator and the Alcohol and Drug Prevention (ADPEP) coordinator made the visits to 38 retailers out of the county’s 40 local stores that carry tobacco.

In Columbia County, officials found that three in eight retailers advertised tobacco or e-cigarettes outside the store, and 97 percent sold flavored products. 17 percent of those stores sold products within a foot of toys, candy, gum, slushies and sodas, or ice cream.

“I think one thing that was surprising was the amount of flavored tobacco advertising,” Columbia Health Services (CHS) prevention coordinator Heather Oliver said.

“In Oregon, nine out of ten tobacco retailers sold fruit and candy flavored e-cigarettes or cigarillos.”

The research conducted by CHS and other officials found that e-cigarettes are being sold locally in such flavors as local churches.”

Thiessen was tapped as the liaison between the eight churches who came on board.

Each class is run entirely by 36 volunteers from all walks of life, including teachers, truck drivers, city workers, and one who works with Boeing.

The program is funded through the Inmates Benefits Account – an account made up of anything outside of a physical item that an inmate might be charged for, like commissions from haircuts, phone calls and video visitations, but mostly from commissions made off of commissary sales.

Now in its fifth session, the program just began its second official year in operation in June. The investment to provide the classes has been relatively small compared to the overarching benefit to the inmates, an estimated $2,500, Weaver said, but much of that money comes down to one-time costs for items such as study materials and electronics that can be reused.

“It was a lot of upfront costs. The new mental health class cost $300 for the study material, but that material is good for multiple sessions.

We ordered specific study Bibles that are easy to read, and those were nearly $70 a piece and we bought 20, but they’ve been used for a little over a year,” Weaver said.

The goal, Weaver said, was for the program not to be 100 percent faith based, so classes like “Financial Freedom” and those covering mental health issues were added. However, there is no requirement that the inmate be Christian. In point of fact, there is currently an inmate who identifies as Muslim taking the program, as well as some who identify with various Native American faiths.

There is a strict volunteer process for the inmates to take the program, and they

“Pebbles Donuts” and “Tropical Fusion” which they say are aimed squarely at youth and young adults.

According to Smokefree Oregon’s report, a national study of youth and adults that examined flavored tobacco product use found that four out of five youth and young adults who have used tobacco started with a flavored tobacco product.

“Flavored tobacco products can mask the harshness of tobacco and tend to attract youth,” Oliver said.

Among 11th graders in Columbia County, e-cigarette use was higher than cigarette smoking in 2017, according to the report. It also found that by 8th grade, six percent of Columbia County’s students had used cigarettes.

13 percent of the county’s 8th graders had reportedly used e-cigarettes.

One of the problems Oregon faces, Oliver said, is that it is one of the few states that does not have statewide tobacco retail licensure. According to the report, having a system that tracks tobacco retailers and enforces laws

that keep kids from buying tobacco is critical to reducing tobacco use.

“Tobacco retail licensure is the first step in addressing some of these concerns,” Oliver said. “Having a system in place so we know who is selling tobacco can help ensure that tobacco products don’t get into youths’ hands.”

Recommendations to combat tobacco industry marketing and advertising Aside from recommending that Oregon have a tobacco retail licensure that has meaningful fees and penalties, the report recommends the following: Raising the price of tobacco products: According to the report, raising the price of tobacco is the most effective way to reduce tobacco consumption. Approaches in this area would include prohibiting discounts, multipack offers and coupons that keep tobacco cheap. Statewide, 64 percent of retailers used these discounts, which officials said make tobacco more acces-

sible to youth and people with lower incomes.

Regulating flavored tobacco products: The OHA said flavored tobacco is attractive to kids and masks the harsh taste and feel of tobacco products. The report recommends policies that restrict flavors in order to make tobacco products less appealing to youth. Statewide, 93 percent of retailers sold these products.

Proximity and density policies: The OHA suggests that zoning restrictions can cap the number of retailers in an area, and a minimum distance between retailers should be required. Retail locations near schools or other areas youth frequent should also be prohibited, the report said.

Tobacco free pharmacies: The report recommends prohibiting the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies where people go for medicine, flu shots and health care advice.

In 2018, Oregon began enforcing a new tobacco minimum legal sales age of 21.

According to the OHA, initial results of the law show it may reduce the number of youth

are required to participate with 100 percent attendance and effort. There are only 18 beds available for the program, so based on interviews and classifications, the applicants are narrowed down and sent through an orientation.

No one pushes anyone to convert and Weaver said there has been no pushback from the inmates on the faith-based curriculum, and in point of fact, no complaints at all.

The only additional class the inmates have asked for is to cover better ways to communicate when they’re struggling through intense emotions.

“There may be more things we could or should provide that we’re not, that’s more the concern I have,” Weaver said. “One of those is what the inmates were asking for along the way which has to do with communication.

How do you communicate with others, especially in an anger situation, with your spouse or children? All those different forms of communication and since they run into a lot of trouble in those areas, we don’t have a class that deals specifically with those communication issues.”

However, Weaver assured, the fledgling program will continue to grow.

Inmates’ reaction Inmates Robert Warner and Louis Sourjohn each completed Session 2 of the program, which ran from September 17 to December 23 in 2018, and both come from Native American backgrounds. Each said they will likely spend the next 25 years of their life behind bars.

Sourjohn, who said he ended up in the Columbia County Jail largely due to drugs, faces an extensive list of charges - some of them violent. Warner is at the jail on a United States Marshal hold, and said he landed behind bars due to a “lack of guidance.”

Sourjohn is boisterous, talkative, and quick with a deprecating joke and a laugh.

Warner is quieter and softer spoken. They each came to their interview, also attended

by Thiessen in a small holding room inside the jail, armed with notebooks full of carefully-kept notes from their time in Life Lessons.

Sourjohn admitted that,

with being Native, he was initially hesitant to join the faith-based program and struggled with comparing the two faiths for a time.

“Before going in, I was thinking, ‘man, I don’t know if this is the right thing for me.’ But everything I was doing wasn’t really working, so I had to try something new to get a different outcome,” Sourjohn said. “So, now I get to say I’m just a Christian Native.”

Warner said what he liked most about the program was learning about sin – that it’s all the same whether it’s a small sin or a big one. For Sourjohn, it was the space to talk about his struggles that was most important.

“Being able to talk, being able to set a space for everybody – it was more than just, you know, God. It was a lot of us just being there together and it was just everything you needed to go on, a way to talk and a way to understand things,” Sourjohn said. “It was a way to put it in perspective. There’s so many things out there that you can be doing other than what you were doing. It was that good.”

Sourjohn and Warner

who start smoking.

Some cities and counties, like Klamath Falls and Multnomah County, have begun using tobacco retail licensure to track the sale of tobacco products, ensure retailers comply with the new sales age, and keep tobacco products out of the hands of children. Clatsop County is reportedly considering a similar proposal.

“Clatsop County school officials and public health staff have reported students using e-cigarettes and other nicotine-delivery devices at alarming rates,” Clatsop County health promotion specialist Julia Hesse said. “It seems inconceivable that we need a license to sell Christmas trees and own dogs in Oregon, but not to sell tobacco or nicotine products. We need a better way to hold retailers accountable if they illegally sell to youth.”

To learn more about the retail assessment results, broken down by county, and the ways communities can get involved, visit: https://smokefreeoregon. com/what-you-can-do/. said they have both noticed changes in their behavior since attending the program.

Warner said he appreciated the routine he’d learned to take on, and Sourjohn admitted he’d had anger issues, problems with authority, and trouble connecting with others before the program – hard to believe when you meet the affable, enthusiastically talkative man.

Warner said, especially given his background which lacked guidance, he’d appreciated the parenting class. He is the father of 14 children, himself.

“It pretty much tells you how to be a man,” Warner said, flipping through the pages of his notebook. “I pretty much wrote everything down in class. Especially with the integrity – to do the right thing even when no one is looking.”

He still writes in his notebook regularly, the pages filled with neatly penned lines.

Both men said they have become active recruiters for the program, and now look forward to greeting the new inmates who come in. With a wide grin, Sourjohn said he’d convinced three or four inmates to attend the last session.

“I had this one guy singing these songs with me, the ones from Tim and Nadine that they do, how they lead the list of songs? So, I had this guy singing in the room and he’s like, ‘I can’t believe I’m doing this,’” Sourjohn laughed. “I’m like, ‘It’s cool.

Just go with it, dude.’”

Sourjohn’s only complaint was that he wished the program was longer. They expressed concerns that their fellow Native American inmates might not accept their new lessons learned when they move on to other facilities, but both were determined to continue on with their new education in spite of that fear.

When asked what they thought our readers should know about the program, Warner had a simple answer.

“They don’t have to come to jail to find God,” he said.

“But I think I had to.”

St. Helens residents are going to see a slight increase in garbage and recycling rates, as well as land use fees.

At their Wednesday night regular session meeting on July 17, city councilors passed a resolution to raise garbage and recycling rates by three percent, which, when coupled with the disposal fee changes at the Columbia County Transfer Station, results in an overall increase of about four percent for St. Helens residents.

The resolution is effective retroactively to July 1.

Mayor Rick Scholl provided the example of his own rates during the work session, sharing that his typical bill of $55 per month would raise to $57 per month.

The council also passed a resolution to increase Planning Department fees by 1.8 percent, which will affect numerous aspects of land use such as applying for a conditional use permit, a temporary use permit, a site development review, an annexation, a sign permit, or other land uses.

City Planner Jacob Graichen explained during the work session that the increase was a basic increase to keep up with inflation and reflects the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Herb Bailey, District Manager with Hudson Garbage, explained the reasoning behind the rate increase request at the work session, saying that it is to keep up with increased operational

costs.

The resolution states that Hudson Garbage has not requested living rate adjustments since 2010.

“This is the first time in a long time that we’ve requested a general price increase, not related to last year when we asked for help with commodities,” Bailey said during the work session.

Hudson Garbage documents indicate that in May of 2018, the company received a 6.4 percent increase in garbage and recycling rates. That increase was due to the “National Sword” policy that China implemented in 2017, Bailey said. That policy made it so that the quality of recyclable materials that China would accept would be much higher than they previously accepted, Bailey explained.

“The cost to process recycling went up considerably,” Bailey said, the rate increase last year “helped us absorb some of that and do the right thing, keep this stuff out of

our landfills.”

This year’s increase is about keeping up with the rising cost of everything that affects the company.

“The minimum wage is increasing, operation cost of fuel, our total operations costs are just going up, maintenance, oils, everything has kind of risen,” Bailey said.

Bailey also said that the rate increase is a conservative estimate, and that he preferred to request an incremental increase, rather than a “sticker shock” increase of six or seven percent later on.

During the work session, Bailey said that educating their customers is a big factor in having a more efficient recycling system. He asaid that the system has seen some improvements, with fewer plastic grocery bags in the recycling bins.

“Our product’s cleaner.

It’s just going to take some more time, and a lot more help form our community,” Bailey said.

River city Speedway: Returning drivers take CCRA after years away from sport MIKE WEBER Chronicle guest column

Although they were competing in just their first stock car race in several years, it didn’t really seem to matter too much for drivers Brandon Potter and Dick Gaboury, who both won Columbia County Racing Association (CCRA) main events July 27 at River City Speedway in St. Helens.

Gaboury, who actually entered his first CCRA race in four years, showed that the long hiatus didn’t really seem to have much of an effect as he captured the Western Heating & Cooling sponsored Four Cylinder Division main event.

Potter of St. Helens won the Tuner Division main.

Defending division champions Joel Beehler and Devon Reed also continued to enjoy success on the quarter-mile clay oval track as they both notched main event victories.

Beehler of St. Helens was a two-time winnner as he captured the Street Stock Division main event and heat race. Reed of Woodland, WA, recorded a Sportsman Division sweep as he won the trophy dash, heat race and main event.

Vancouver’s Brayden Brookshire nearly had a sweep too as he won the Tracer Division dash and main and finished second in the heat race to winner Paige Gump of St. Helens. The WESCO Sprint Cars returned to the speedway for the first time in 10 years and Adam Smith of Moses Lake, WA captured the main event.

Gaboury of Rainier, started sixth in the seven-car Four Cylinder Division main and he passed frontrunner Christopher Lee on lap seven for the lead.

his Cornwell Tools sponsored 1995 Dodge Neon. Gaboury, a former CCRA Four Cylinder Division champion (2013), moved well ahead of the other competitors and led laps seven to 25 to take the checkered flag waved by CCRA official flagman Mike Watson. Gaboury won by half a lap over Lance Landis of West Linn.

“I had a great time tonight and it was fun racing with Sande Simmet and Lance and I can’t believe that I won by a half a lap,” said Gaboury, who was a two-time winner since he also won heat race two. “I shook hands with Lance after the race and he said that he had lots of fun as well. It’s fun racing with competitive guys like Lance and Sande. Everything just worked out really well for me.”

Gaboury, 70, certainly demonstrated that age isn’t much of a factor in motorsports as he proved to be the fastest driver on the track in his Economy Auto Wrecking/Ram Light Truck Salvage 1992 Nissan Sentra. Current division leader Lance Landis of West Linn was runnerup in his TriPod Development sponsored 2003 Ford Focus.

Vancouver’s Sande Sim-

met, who earlier won the trophy dash, took third place in a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier.

Lee, was fourth, followed by Gresham’s Lynn Yeaman and St. Helens drivers Tiffany Berg and Sharmain Jobanek.

Gaboury a co-driver with Kelso’s Trenton Brogan, helped their T & T Tire of Kelso sponsored race team stay in contention for the Four Cylinder Division championship as they’re currently third in the series point standings behind Simmet and Landis.

Amazingly, Gaboury was competing just three days after having skin cancer surgery on his chest.

“I didn’t really know if I still had it in me until I was in the heat race and after I won that by a lot, I knew that I was doing pretty good in my first race in four years,” said Gaboury. “I’m glad that I was able to help Trenton out and keep him near the top of the point standings. I finished ahead of both guys (Simmet and Landis) that are ahead of us in the standings, so that will help us narrow the gap and move up closer to them in the points. Trenton and his dad Gary are both great to work with on our racing team and it

seems that I’m kind of like a part of their family.”

Potter of St. Helens, led the first lap of the Tuner Division main while driving the Cozy Lawn Maintenance/Eaton’s Tire & Service Center 1997 Neon for car owner Bob Berg of St. Helens. Potter then had a right front flat tire for a lap two yellow flag caution and exited to the pit area for a quick change. After returning to the track, Potter was positioned last in the eight-car field on the lap two restart.

Redmond’s Dustin Wilkinson moved up front and he led lap two in the Landis & Landis Construction sponsored Focus.

Longview’s Dan McDonald, who won the last Tuner Division main July 13, then took over first place on lap three after passing Wilkinson. McDonald led the next five laps in his 2004 Economy Auto Wrecking Nissan Sentra.

Potter, 26, maneuvered up from last place and passed McDonald on the inside of the back straightaway and led lap nine. McDonald then came back and moved up front on lap 10 and led the next four circuits. The two drivers exchanged first place again as

BE AN ADVOCATE.

Potter moved up front on lap 15.

Potter stayed ahead for the remainder of the 25-lap race and he won by a straightaway length over McDonald.

Wilkinson took third, followed

by St. Helens drivers Scott Beaudoin, and Matt Brown.

Kelso’s Joel Davis was sixth, followed by defending division champion Bob Berg and Mike O’Harrow.

“It was a good race with Dan McDonald and we swapped the lead a couple of times so I felt pretty lucky to win,” said Potter, who competed for the first time in three years at the speedway. “It sure was a fun way to come back after a few years off and I had lots of fun. I was sure glad that Bob Berg let me drive the car.”

Beehler, 26, took the lead in the Street Stock main on lap four after passing Portland’s David Weaver, who led the first three laps in his 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo. Beehler led the remainder of the 25-lap race while driving the CLT Trucking/Hoyt Construction sponsored 1985 Chevy Malibu for car owner and codriver Greg Brumbaugh of St. Helens. Division leader Terry King of Warren won the dash and he was runnerup, followed

by Weaver and Matt Taylor of St. Helens.

“It felt good to get a win and I’m always happy whenever Greg lets me drive his car,” said Beehler, who combined with Brumbaugh to win back-to-back Street Stock titles in 2017 and 2018. “I wish we had more than four cars, but it was still lots of fun and I enjoy racing with Terry. We’re very close in the point standings, so we’ll see what happens, but I’m hoping that we can win another championship. The car is running really well and the

track condition is fantastic too, so that helps a lot.”

Gary Kordosky of Scappoose led the first three laps of the Sportsman Division main and then Reed moved up front on lap four. Reed, 35, led the remainder of the 25-lap race to get the victory in his Dancin’ Bare Tavern/Reed’s Automotive Chevy. Reed won by a straightaway length over runnerup Red Smith. Weaver, a double duty driver who was competing in two CCRA motorsport classifications, took third, followed by Kordosky and Dennis Tower.

“It feels good to get the win and I’ve won four out of five main events this year, but we just need some more cars in the Sportsman Division so that we can have more competition” said Reed, the defending series champion “It would be nice to win another championship this year and that’s what I’m hoping to do.”

Brookshire, 11, drove his 1995 Toyota Tercel Economy Auto Parts/Dusty’s Machine to his first ever Tracer Division main event win. Gump took second, followed by Chase Frelich of St. Helens and Kassidy Koch of Vancouver.

Smith drove his Smith Bros. Auto Body open-wheel race car to victory in the 30-lap WESCO main event. Gene Cannon was second, followed

by Jason Thomas, Bert Johnson, Steve Veltman, Edward Isackson, Gary Barnes, Jacom Gilman and Anthony Offh.

Isackson and Thomas won the heats and Gilman won the dash.

The ninth event on the 14race CCRA schedule is August 3 at 5 p.m. and will include the Northwest Ford Focus Midget Series and the Hudson Garbage sponsored Sunset Challenge.

PETITION

summer.”

This is the third rendition of the petition, which Brumbles had to re-submit four times. The Columbia County Circuit Court accepted the third petition on May 6 of this year, according to Brumbles.

If added to the November ballot and passed, it would make Columbia County a “sanctuary” for guns, so that residents can own and use guns, regardless of laws passed in Salem.

From Page A1 Democrats had booths set up to host different political exercises.

The GOP table hosted three petitions– two of which, R-2019-02 and R-2019-03, were to recall Gov. Kate Brown, and one, called the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance (SASO), which is to add a ballot measure in November to amend the Oregon Constitution to make it so the county will not be able to enforce any gun laws.

The petitions to recall Brown are affiliated with two different organizations – the Oregon Republican Party (ORP), and a non-partisan group called Flush Down Kate Brown.

Sarah Hepner of St. Helens, a volunteer and activist with the group Moms for Medical Freedom, said the reason for having two petitions was to amass as many signatures as possible.

“We’ve been working on getting them both out there, we don’t care who recalls her as long as she gets recalled,” Hepner said.

The reasons for recalling the current governor are listed on both petitions. The ORP petition states, among other reasons, that Brown has “overturned the will of the voters by reversing ballot measures that limited taxation, overturned the will of the voters by granting drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens, denied citizens the right to fully protect themselves as guaranteed by the Constitution, and repeatedly supported the use of the emergency clause on non-emergency legislation,” among other reasons.

Brown’s use of the Emergency Clause, a political process that enables bills to pass the house without two-thirds of the vote, was something that Hepner said is a big frustration among many Republicans in the county. One bill on which Brown supported the emergency clause was House Bill 3063, which bans children from attending either public or private schools if they have not been vaccinated for certain diseases.

“It’s such a threat to us as mothers to try to tell us what we can and can’t do with our kids. The government should never step into your home and tell you what to do with your kids,” Hepner said.

The SASO petition, also at the fair, is similar to the Second Amendment Preservation Ordinance (SAPO), which Columbia County voters may remember from last year.

Chris Brumbles of Deer Island, and Chief Petitioner, explained the subtle differences to the two laws to the Chronicle.

SAPO, according to Brumbles, “made it illegal for the county to enforce any unconstitutional gun laws written since 2012,” Brumbles said adding, SASO won’t be able to enforce any gun laws, unless there are extenuating circumstances.

So far, Brumbles’ petition has collected over 900 signatures. Brumbles said that the petition needs 1,477 “but we’re probably going to have to get about 2,100 or 2,200, which should be no problem.

I think we’re going to get these signatures by the end of

The Left The Columbia County Democrats also had a booth at their table to hold a mock election for the Democratic presidential nominee.

According to Greg Pettit, Columbia County Democrats Central Committee (CCDCC) Chair, the election had 368 total votes, with Elizabeth Warren coming in first place with 103 votes, and Kamala Harris coming in second with 66 votes.

In addition to the mock election, the Columbia County Democrats also had a spinning wheel that landed on different issues about climate change, and children had to stick a band-aid on the area of the world that was affected by that particular issue.

In other political activity, the Columbia County Democrats passed a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump during their regular meeting on May 28.

Reasons for impeaching are outlined in the resolution.

Stated among the reasons are that the Mueller report “enumerated multiple instances of possible obstruction of justice by the President, such as his firing of FBI Director Comey and his implying that loyal witnesses may receive pardons.”

Pettit said that he believes, apart from legal issues with the presidency, Trump has done nothing to help citizens economically.

“I think if people could objectively look at the policies, what’s going to be best for the working class, that in the Trump administration, he’s really done nothing for the working class in this country,” Pettit said.

Pettit said the resolution carries no weight, but simply sends a message. The CCDCC sent the resolution to U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkeley, and U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici, stating their viewpoint.

Pettit said the Democrats discussed having a petition to impeach Trump at the fair and decided against it.

“I felt that we should stay away from issues that divide the country,” Pettit said, also adding that at this point in the election cycle, it was better to focus on electing what they hope will be a new Democratic president.

Upcoming activity The different political activities from the groups will be available at upcoming Columbia County events.

CCDCC is planning on being at the Scappoose Sauerkraut Festival on September 14.

Petitions from the Columbia County Republicans will also be available at other county events, like the Scappoose Sauerkraut Festival on September 14, the Clatskanie Festival from August 2-5, and the Vernonia Friendship Jamboree and Logging Show, from August 2-5 to get more signatures.
