St. Helens School band trailer stolen JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

After reports surfaced that the St. Helens Band Patrons trailer had been stolen from the parking lot at St. Helens High School July 13, community members are rallying to help. The small black trailer and its contents are used for the St. Helens Marching Band and Color Guard competitions and has been the main source of fundraising since the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The community support is amazing and greatly appreciated. ~ Ryan Scholl, St. Helens Band Patrons Chair

It included two large marching band and color guard changing tents, a large food tent, tent sidewalls, tent rain drains, spare tent pieces, 100 buckets for students to sit on during performance breaks, shelving, three roaster pans, a microwave, various food service items, bottle and can drive PVC stands, bags, and supplies. The value of the stolen tailer is $10,000. St. Helens High School Band Director Noelle Freshner said the finance impact of the crime is a new challenge for the participating students and the supporters of the school band program. “It will financially impact us if we can’t acquire more funds specific to this replacement,” Freshner said. COVID hit our fundraising efforts hard the past two years. We were already behind in where we need to be to fund the year and this puts us

Judge dismisses gun validation ordinance JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Columbia County Circuit Court Judge Ted Grove has dismissed the Columbia County Board of Commissioner’s request for review of the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance. The ordinance is designed to prohibit law enforcement from enforcing most federal gun control provisions. Grove ruled that a legal decision was not warranted because the request from the commissioners did not show a justiciable controversy. Columbia County Public Information Officer Mark Pacheco said Grove’s decision to dismiss the petition for validation was unexpected. “His ruling did not provide us with a resolution to the question of the legality of the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance,” Pacheco said. “Without a definitive answer to the question, we expect that the dismissal of the petition will lead to other litigation, resulting in additional expenses for the county.” The Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance was adopted by the Columbia County Board of Opinion .....................

Commissioners to implement the intent of the voters following passage of the Second Amendment Preservation Ordinance in 2018 and the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance in 2020. Under ORS 33.710, the Columbia County Circuit Court is authorized to conduct an examination of the ordinance and to provide a judgement as to the legality of the authority of a county governing body to enact the Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance, according to a statement from Columbia County. The County filed the petition in late May to clear up what commissioners said were several important legal questions about what firearm regulations can be enforced in Columbia County. “To be clear, the county is not seeking to invalidate the ordinance, only to get answers to the many legal questions raised by it,” County Counsel Sarah Hanson said when the request was filed with the court. “As an example, Oregon law generally does not permit the county to regulate within the city limits without consent. We have asked the court to inform us whether the cites have consented. Hanson said this and many other questions arising from the two voter-passed initiatives and the ordinance implementing them put the county and its residents in legal “limbo,” so the commissioners sought clarity through the court process. Columbia County officials said the statutory process enables the county to receive binding decisions from the court, providing the county See ORDINANCE Page A5

The renovated playground at McCormick Park at 475 S. 18th Street continues to be a family-fun attraction in St. Helens.

Celebrating McCormick Park JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

McCormick Park is now home to one of the largest all-abilities playgrounds in the Pacific Northwest. A grand opening celebration for the newly installed McCormick Park playground equipment at 475 S. 18th Street in St. Helens is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Aug. 7, before Citizens Day events begin at the park. Improvements were funded through money the city sets aside for park improvements and a

Moda Assist grant won through community voting. The Moda Assist Program is a partnership between Moda Health and the Portland Trail Blazers to bring positive outcomes to local communities. The program committed $20 per each Trail Blazers assist during their games to install an all-abilities playground at the end of the 2020 season. City of St. Helens Engineer Sue Nelson said in a release in December, that it was important to ensure the new park was accessible to all children. “When we re-pooled this

project, we wanted to gear it more toward all-inclusive play equipment, based on the fact that we not only competed, but the community really supported this project and we won the Moda Assist grant,” she said. “That kind of changed the whole outlook on this project and we really wanted to make it as inclusive as possible rather than just replace the play structure that was there in McCormick Park.” Nelson said there were certain

Oregon’s new wildfire approach

Legislation that provides $220 million to help Oregon modernize and improve wildfire preparedness is now law. Gov. Kate Brown signed Senate Bill 782 into law Friday, July 30. The law provides three key strategies by: • Creating fire-adapted communities

• Developing safe and effective responses • Increasing the resiliency of Oregon’s landscapes Brown said the legislation is the product of years of hard work by the Governor’s Wildfire Council, the Oregon Legislature, and state agencies and moves the state toward modernizing its wildfire approach. “Wildfire is inevitable, but how we prepare for and respond to fires is in our control,” Brown said. “There

is absolutely no question that Oregon has one of the the best wildfire response systems in the country. But, as we responded to these fires over the last few years from Chetco Bar to the Substation Fire, it was clear we were battling with tools used in the century. We simply were not equipped to fight the fires of this new age, which are faster and more fierce, and fueled by the impacts of climate change.” The $220 million investment means building

fire-adapted communities, improving the state’s wildfire response, and creating healthier and more resilient landscapes, Brown said, adding that for every dollar Oregon spends on fire prevention, the state’s investment is returned elevenfold in saved costs. “We still have a lot of work ahead of us to implement this bill. However, we are laying the roadmap and devoting the resources needed to transform our approach to meet the challenges

of this new era of wildfire. Senate Bill 762 exemplifies the proposition that by working together, we can create a safer, stronger, and more fire resilient Oregon.” The effort to upgrade Oregon’s wildfire preparedness and modernization approach follows devastating wildfires in 2020 and fast moving fires across the state this summer. Of this summer’s wildfires, the lightning caused Bootleg Fire was reportedly 84% contained at 413,762 as of Monday, Aug. 2.

Firefighters spray water on burning tires at the fire scene. Investigators said the blaze was triggered by sparks from a grinding operation in the 3400 block of Honeyman Road. The fire quickly spread to piles of tires. JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Thick, black smoke from a fire could be seen from areas surrounding the Scappoose Airpark Thursday morning, July 29. According to Scappoose Rural Fire Protection District Chief Jeff Pricher, the blaze was triggered by sparks from a grinding operation in the 3400 block of Honeyman Road. “I could see the black smoke from the middle of town as I was being dispatched to the fire,” Pricher told The Chronicle. The sparks rekindled an

old burn pile and that fire spread to several piles of tires. “The tires are what caused the thick black smoke,” Pricher said. “We advised the Scappoose Airpark tower to alert incoming flights that the smoke was affecting aircraft approaches to the field.” The flames ignited the vegetation along the west property line, which threatened structures in the adjacent property. The fire was approximately 2,000 square feet. Fire crews were able to stop the spread of the blaze at the property line. Two fire engines, a water tender, three brush engines and two chief officers were

sent to the scene with firefighters from Scappoose, Columbia River Fire & Rescue and the Oregon Department of Forestry. There were no injuries to any of the firefighters. “We had the fire under control in about 10 minutes,” Pricher said, “but it took a considerable amount of time to break a part all the tires and extinguish any fire in the tires.” Investigators have classified the fire as accidental. Pricher is urging anyone working outdoors with equipment to be cautious and aware of the region’s high fire danger.

features the city wanted to be sure to include in the new structure: ramps, musical instruments, something that spun, all-accessible swing sets and slides, all of which are included in the Wildwood Play Structures design. The design features sections intended for younger kids ages 2 to 5 and for older kids, ages 5 to 12. There are also 17 wheelchair accessible components in the design and rubber tiling is featured as the base throughout the play areas. In April, the city competed in, and won, the 2020 Moda Assist Program. The annual competition awards an Oregon city with funding to construct an all-ability playground. This year, St. Helens went up against

Astoria and Sandy and garnered 48,000 votes. The program teams up with the Portland Trail Blazers to raise money for every assist made by the team. Each assist equates to a $20 donation to the Trail Blazers Foundation which supports the playground construction. St. Helens received $37,000 from the Blazer program to be used toward the McCormick Park project. The quote for the Wildwood Play Structures design comes to just over $224,000, not including demolition of the current play structure. An additional $65,000 is quoted for the installation of the structures and tiles from A West Pacific Contractors, according to the city release. The City used the remaining money needed through the parks system development charges funding system. Representatives from

Governor orders indoor face coverings at schools

Metro Creative Connection / The Chronicle

Gov. Kate Brown said the face covering rule is necessary for the protection of all students and school staff. JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Local school districts in Columbia County and across the state now face a state order to have all students K-12 wear face coverings while inside school buildings when classes resume in September. Gov. Kate Brown has directed the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to create a rule to require masks indoors for K-12 schools statewide for the 2021-22 school year. The governor said the rule is in line with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recently updated guidance, and based on the latest science on the spread of the Delta variant. “The science and data are clear: the Delta variant is in our communities, and it is more contagious,” Brown said. “My priority is to ensure our kids are able to safely return to full-time in-person learning this fall, five days per week and with minimal disruptions. With

many children still ineligible to be vaccinated, masks are an effective way to help keep our kids safe in the classroom, the learning environment we know serves them best.” Brown and the OHA late last month recommended that Oregonians statewide mask up in public indoor spaces to help slow the surge in COVID-19 Delta variant cases. State health officials said 88% of the new COVID-19 cases are caused by the variant and the majority of the cases of among unvaccinated Oregonians. Reaction from the St. Helens School District (SHSD) administration quickly followed Brown’s school face covering order. “At this time, we still anticipate that all SHSD students will have the opportunity to participate in a regular schedule of full time, in-person learning,” A SHSD statement sent to parents reads. “As a district, we are reviewing the latest recommendations from the Governor, CDC, ODE, as

well as working closely with local health officials and our school board to determine what is best for our students, staff, and community.” The SHSD statement also thanks parents and students for their patience. “Please know that we are making every effort to bring all students back to the classroom while continuing to provide safety and security protocols to both our students and staff,” the statement reads. “We will share more details about health and safety protocols as we get closer to the start of school.” Clatskanie School District Superintendent Cathy Hurowitz told The Chronicle her district would have no choice but to follow the state face covering mandate. Rainier School District Superintendent Joesph Hattrick said the Rainier School District is planning for a return to in-person instruction while remaining responsive to the ODE’s Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance and the OHA requirements.

“We are in the process of evaluating that information and discussing with stakeholders to make the most responsible and responsive decision possible, Hattrick said. A parent group called Oregon Moms Union issued a statement critical of Brown’s school face covering order. “Governor Brown has once again moved the goalposts on Oregon students and parents,” Oregon Moms Union Co-Founder MacKensey Pulliam said. “One month ago, Kate Brown’s OHA Director said it would be up to local authorities to slow the spread of COVID-19. Now she has reversed course yet again.” Pulliam claims that children are the least at risk from COVID and least likely to spread it. “They should absolutely not be singled out with a useless mandate,” Pulliam said. “This is simply a way for Governor Brown to give allies on some school boards political cover so they do not have to return schools to normal. These are our kids, not political footballs. Nothing short of a full, normal school year is acceptable.” Pulliam said Oregon Moms Union, formed earlier in 2021 in the wake of COVID-19 school shutdowns and distance learning, seeks to empower parents to advocate for a student-first K-12 education system. She said the group currently has 45 volunteer school district captains serving in 35 school districts.

Supporting local journalism supports this community DEAN RIDINGS CEO, America’s Newspapers

The Local Journalism Sustainability Act (LJSA) was recently introduced in the House and has now been introduced in the Senate – and will benefit every member of this community! Unlike many issues in Washington, this legislation has bipartisan

support and is focused on delivering benefits to local communities across the U.S. by sustaining local news organizations, including this newspaper. Newspapers are facing significant fiscal challenges due to technological disruption, including Google’s and Facebook’s use of newspapers’ content without compensation. This legislation provides an important, but temporary means of support to help newspapers with needed transition, and it deserves the support of Congressional representatives across the country. The bill incentivizes the behaviors needed to facilitate changes to the business model. Please join your local newspaper in calling on members of Congress to support this legislation. The LJSA has been

designed to provide a muchneeded boost to newspapers. What it isn’t is a permanent handout for local newspapers. Instead, it’s a wellthought-out approach to help sustain local newsgathering efforts through a series of tax credits that expire in five years. And it not only will provide aid to newspapers, but also to subscribers and local small businesses through tax credits that will benefit them directly. Newspaper subscribers already understand the importance of their local newspaper and that their continued support is critical. Through this legislation, subscribers will receive a tax credit of up to $250 per year. It’s a win-win for subscribers as this tax credit will cover a significant part of their annual newspaper subscription, no matter if

it’s print or digital. For local businesses, there’s a direct benefit from the LJSA, as well. When they use the effective print and digital solutions of their local newspaper, they will be eligible for a tax credit up to $5,000 the first year and $2,500 per year for the next four years. Not only will this credit offset some of their advertising investment, it also will help them improve their business by reaching more customers and generating more sales. It keeps money invested locally and helps maintain jobs and support other local initiatives. For local newspapers, the LJSA provides a much-needed bridge to continue the evolution toward a digitally-based model. The temporary tax credits for newspapers will

be tied directly to maintaining healthy newsrooms and employing professional journalists committed to producing local news and information. The benefits will be local, not redirected to national media organizations, and provide local readers with continued access to the content that’s most important to their lives. However, in order for the LJSA to provide these benefits to subscribers, local businesses and newspapers, it needs the support from members of the House and Senate. And the best way for that to happen is for them to hear directly from their constituents and supporters. To support the future of local newspapers, reach out to your representatives and encourage them to support the Local

Journalism Sustainability Act, and – in turn – support the communities they serve. There’s a benefit for everyone. On behalf of its approximately 1,500 newspaper and associate member companies, America’s Newspapers is committed to explaining, defending and advancing the vital role of newspapers in democracy and civil life. We put an emphasis on educating the public on all the ways newspapers contribute to building a community identity and the success of local businesses.

COVID-19 vaccines being prepared for in-home distribution in a collaboration between Columbia River Fire & Rescue, Columbia County Public Health, Oregon Heath & Sciences University, Family Medicine at Scappoose and CareOregon.

Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR) in partnership with Columbia Health Services administered 54 COVID-19 vaccines between both Rainier Days in the Park July 10 and 11 as well as at Columbia County Fair & Rodeo July 15 through 18. We will also be hosting an additional clinic at the National Night out at Rainier City Park on August 3, along with Columbia County Fairgrounds on August 17. We have also reached out to St. Helens High School and Rainier High School along with other local primary care agencies to offer their staff access to the COVID-19

vaccine. Columbia River Fire & Rescue also provides in-home vaccination services with our Community Paramedic to those members of the community who are immobile and unable to get to a vaccination location. At this time we do not have an exact tally on how many vaccinations our Community Paramedic has done, however we estimate between 50 and 100 by the use of the vaccine in inventory. As you know, the time is

critical to continue to support the vaccination efforts in Columbia County and our medical providers are making a difference in that effort. After an incredibly hard and stressful year, it is extremely important to us to get members of our community vaccinated. Members of Columbia River Fire & Rescue take pride in their work and have the skill and know how to get vaccines in arms. It has been a huge community effort and has gained invaluable

relationships with external organizations, especially Columbia Health Services, Columbia County Public Health and many of the other fire districts in Columbia County. The team effort won’t go unnoticed, we have incredible support from our community, and that is what makes our organization stronger. Joel Medina is the Columbia River Fire & Rescue Chief.

‘Pandemic among unvaccinated’ BRAD WITT Chronicle Guest Column

Federal and state health officials are reacting to a disturbing uptick of COVID-19 cases due to the Delta Variant. Health officials are describing this surge in infections and hospitalizations as a “pandemic among the unvaccinated.” The Delta Variant is a highly contagious strain of COVID-19, and is now the dominant strain, as tests show that Delta is the cause of 80% of all new COVID-19 infections in Oregon. We have not put the pandemic behind us. In recent forecasts released by OHSU and the University of Washington, it is predicted that we are heading back to infection and hospitalization levels similar, if not exceeding, last year’s winter peak. In response to the increasing infections the Oregon Health Authority is recommending universal mask use in public indoor

settings throughout Oregon. This recommendation aligns with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance that everyone, including fully vaccinated persons, wear a mask in public indoor settings. The Oregon Health Authority is continuing to call on local community and public health leaders, and businesses to encourage vaccinations and masking to prevent new outbreaks. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself is to get fully vaccinated, which means if you get the two-dose vaccine you must get both shots and then wait the recommended two-week period for these shots to take effect. The vaccination rate goal to achieve “herd immunity” is to get 70% of those eligible to be vaccinated. In Columbia County, we are on the low side, with 51% currently vaccinated. People who have not been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 are the most at risk for infection. If you

Voices of the Community Protecting property rights For years my oldest sister and brother-in-law have used the income from their fourplex to pay for their Medicare Supplement Insurance. Being a fair skin outdoorsman in sunny Eastern Oregon he has struggled with recurring skin melanoma and was diagnosed again before the pandemic started. Two weeks ago my sister suffered a cardiac event which required a stent. Mounting medical expenses and monthly insurance payments now coming out of their pocket yet with the

eviction moratorium what are their options? Many rental units in rural Oregon are mom and pop operations, not major corporate political donors and it’s time to level the playing field or the affordable housing shortage will only get worse. “The Constitution protects property rights through the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments’ Due Process Clauses and, more directly, through the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause: “nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.” There are two basic ways the government can take property: (1) outright, by condemning

the property and taking title; and (2) through regulations that take uses, leaving the title with the owner — socalled regulatory takings. In the first case, the title is all too often taken not for a public but for a private use; and rarely is the compensation received by the owner just. In the second case, the owner is often not compensated at all for his losses; and when he is, the compensation is again inadequate.” (CATO Institute). After the pandemic would you invest in rental property?
