According to St. Helens Police, at 5:39 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 4, officers received a report of a shirtless male running through residential yards in the area of Columbia Boulevard in St. Helens.

Oregon State Police assisted St. Helens officers in conducting an area search for the male.

According to police, the suspect, identified as Jesse Ryan Brower-Gillpatrick, 31, held a knife to a victim on West Street and demanded a vehicle ride to the McCormick Park Apartments at 1691 Old Portland Road and to Motel 6 at 535 S. Columbia River Highway.

Investigators said BrowerGillpatrick then released the victim. There were no reported injuries at the time of the victim’s release and police did not publicly released the name of the victim.

Police were able to locate Brower-Gillpatrick outside Motel 6 where he attempted to flee from officers. Following a short pursuit, officers were able to catch Brower-Gillpatrick and take him into custody without further incident.

Brower-Gillpatrick was lodged at Columbia County Jail on charges of Robbery I, Disorderly Conduct II, Menacing, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, Criminal Trespass II, Unlawful Use of a Vehicle, Resisting Arrest, Theft III, Coercion, Kidnapping II, and Theft II. As of Monday. Aug. 9, he remained incarcerated at the jail awaiting the 1:30 p.m. Aug. 12 court hearing at Columbia County Circuit Court in St. Helens.

Investigators said the investigation was ongoing and additional charges may be filed. Police are asking anyone with information regarding this case to contact the St. Helens Police Department at 503-397-1521.

Reaching the $10,000 goal JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Supporters of the St. Helens High School Band Program are hoping the Saturday, Aug. 7, can and bottle drive and a GoFundMe account will help in their efforts to replace a supply trailer stolen from the high school in mid July.

Organizers said they are overwhelmed with the community support that included donations of dozens of large plastic bags packed with cans and bottles that filled a portion of the school’s parking lot at the Saturday event.

“We think once we take in the cans and bottles we received we have come close to reaching our goal of $10,000,” St. Helens High School Band Director Noelle Freshner said.

“This community and Lions from all over have been unbelievable in the wake of this. We meet alumni this weekend from across the area who

drove in from as far as Vancouver and Gresham to donate to us!”

The cans an bottles will be submitted for recycling and the money earned will go toward replacing the St. Helens Band Patrols supply trailer, which 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 trailer is $10,000. As of Monday, Aug. 9, the stolen trailer and supplies had not been located and police were continuing to ask for any information from the public that might help solve the crime.

Those wishing to make a financial donation can do so through the group’s GoFundMe account at: www. gofundme.com/f/st-helens-bandpatrons-fundraiser.

Following several calls to Columbia County 911 from citizens, Scappoose Rural Fire Protection District (SRFPD) crews rushed to a brush fire on Scappoose Vernonia Highway near milepost 10.

Fire crews arrived in under 12 minutes after the 4:20 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 3 dispatch call to the fire that was burning in grass and brush and moving toward a timbered area.

“The fire was in a very rural area on the western most edge of the fire district,” according to SRFPD Chief Jeff Pricher. “The adjacent fuels were timber and brush, but the terrain included slopes of over 20% grade.

At the time of arrival, the wind gusts were 14 miles an hour, temperature was 95 degrees, humidity was 32% and the probability of ignition was 60%. The potential for rapid rate of spread was significant.”

Pricher said fire crews were able to contain the fire by using hand tools and chain saws and stretching fire hoses around the wildfire.

Despite the quick knockdown of the blaze, Pricher said it still took over five hours to mop up, which is extinguishing or removing burning material near control lines, felling snags, and trenching logs to prevent rolling after an area has burned and to ­­­­ See WILDFIRE Page A2

Grocery Outlet owners share vision S

Jeremy C. Ruark / The Chronicle

This large sign graces the front of the St. Helens Grocery Outlet facing Highway 30.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The St. Helens Grocery Outlet is complete and will open Thursday, Aug. 12 following a ribbon cutting ceremony from 8 to 9 a.m.

Former Klamath County residents Ricky and Kate Linares are the owners of the grocery store and the couple said they are committed to making their new St. Helens business successful.

“We definitely plan on being here as a permanent fixture for the first year,” Ricky said.

“It is important for us to keep in touch with our community and to let them know we are local and just to established ourselves as part of the community,” Kate said.

Scappoose Vernonia Highway was shut down for several hours during the wildfire supression efforts.

Scappoose volunteer and career firefighters, MistBirkenfeld Fire, Vernonia Fire, Oregon Department of Forestry, Columbia River Fire & Rescue and Columbia County Road Department crews assisted at the wildfire scene with one structure engine,

building a bond with the community and with our staff as well, and so that first year is crucial to that effort,” Ricky said.

Opening and operating a new grocery store offers many challenges, but according to the couple, their extensive training through Grocery Outlet gives them the opportunity to be successful.

“The support that we get from corporate has been tremendous and with the support we are receiving from the community we have been very fortunate between operations and just the reception that we have had, so it is hard to say this has actually been challenging,” Ricky said.

“The hardest part was us waiting to get up here.”

The 25 employees hired at the St. Helens Grocery Outlet three water tenders, fire brush engines, fire chief officers, two ambulances and a rehab unit.

Two Fire investigators were called to the scene.

The cause of the wildfire was under investigation at press time. A fire crew returned to the scene Wednesday morning, Aug. 4, to extinguish a portion of the fire area that had rekindled.

Fire agencies in the region say even with some limited rain showers over the past several days, and forecasted high temperatures this week, the wildfire danger remains high. Firefighters are urging everyone to be cautious.

“We feel like they are the unsung heroes and we want to help them,” Ricky said.

“We will have a dedicated bin out in front of the store for folks to donate to them and we are looking for other ways to help these nonprofits.”

Ricky and Kate were born and raised in Southern California. His background includes grocery and retail experience. The couple married in 2010. Kate had been a stay-at-home mom and has homeschooled the couple’s two children, 7-year-old Stella and 10-year-old Ricky Jr. Kate and Ricky move to Oregon in 2018 and received

Ricky said his past experience in retail management and auditing and now entering into ownership gives him the opportunity to build an effective team that is willing to put in the sweat equity.

“But you have to put in that sweat equity as well, to

be an effective leader,” he said. “I plan on being the first one in and the last one out.”

“We have to set the example,” Kate said.

According to the couple, their 12,000-square-foot grocery store is unique because it offers competitive shopping opportunities and it is locally owned.

“We have a family and we treat our staff like family,” Kate said. “We want to make everyone feel welcome.

That’s what we want to be known for.”

School renovations, new rec center update

This conceptual drawing illustrates what the new St. Helens High School could look like after the renovations.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Two key economic development projects are in the works along Gable Road in St. Helens.

A multi-million dollar renovation project at St. Helens High School and the relocation of the St. Helens Recreation Center have received approval from the St. Helens Planning Commission.

Design work for the high school renovations begin in April. Soderstrom Architects, Cornerstone Project Management and Hoffman Construction are working to renovate the entire high school, located at 2375 Gable Road in St. Helens.

Last May, following voter approval for a $55 million bond to fund the project, the district released a statement saying the work will result in “well planned and carefully built spaces that will serve St. Helens students and the community for many years.”

Key aspects of the high school renovations include: • Connecting buildings A, B and C • Upgraded HVAC system • 21st century science classrooms • Improvements to Career Tech programs includ-

ing a medical professional pathway • State of the art technology • Larger band and choir classrooms • Renovating and expanding sports fields • Redesigned school layout for easier access of community use The St. Helens High School project is anticipated to be done by 2024.

Read more in the attached reported by The Chronicle earlier this year.

As of Monday, Aug. 9, St. Helens School District officials had yet to provide an update about the status of the high school renovation work this summer.

Recreation center Work is also underway at the former First Missionary Baptist Church at 2625 Gable Road, which is being transformed into the new St. Helens Recreation Center.

The current city rec center is housed in a building at Old Portland Road and 18th Street.

The Chronicle first reported last spring that the city was purchasing the church building. City officials said the property creates unique opportunities for the city’s recreation program. The building is located close to St. Helens High School and within

easy walking distance of several residential subdivisions and apartment complexes.

Safe, easier access With new sidewalk and road improvements on Gable Road and additional improvements planned to create connection and safer passage to McBride Elementary School, the location will offer safer and easier access to recreation opportunities for many community members.

The proximity to the high school also allows the recreation program to better utilize the school’s new fields and other facilities to host additional classes, family events, sports tournaments, equipment rental, and more.

“The building’s proximity to the St. Helens High School and the additional resources that brings to the Recreation Program was a key element in our decision making,” St. Helens Mayor Rick Scholl said.

According to the City of St. Helens latest newsletter, there currently is no time estimate for the opening of the new recreation center.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A design for the Riverwalk project along the Columbia River in the city’s Old Town District is moving ahead following a special city council public session Aug. 4.

The St. Helens Riverwalk is a key part of the city’s overall riverfront planning.

The Riverwalk portion of that planning, launched in March 2021, would enhance public access along the Columbia River from Columbia View Park to Plymouth Street and Nob Hill Nature Park, approximately a one-half mile area.

The presentation emphasizes various enhancements along the riverfront, includ-

ing a new public amphitheater.

According to city officials, the project has several goals: • Provide public access to the waterfront for residents and visitors of all ages and abilities.

• Capture the unique energy and authenticity of St. Helens.

• Celebrate its long history.

• Protect and improve the local ecology and habitat.

• Emphasize resiliency by reducing risk against climate change and using sustainable materials.

Navigating through the pandemic PAUL VOGEL Chronicle Guest Column

We’ve seen this movie before, let’s script a better ending.

A killer virus sweeps across the country, like nothing we’ve experienced for more than a century. We must learn about it on the fly; there are no vaccines and no known cures. There’s no choice but to shut everything down and quarantine in our homes. Only essential workers punch the clock each day and hours get very long for the relative few who can, or must, show up and keep basic services – like hospitals running.

Economic crisis mounts What’s even more disorienting today is that the sequel to that movie started

before the first one ended.

The virus is still here but now there are vaccines; we know how to stop it. Anyone who wants them has FREE access except the youngest (and most resilient). The plot thickens: people aren’t getting the vaccines and the virus is mutating – more aggressively infectious and even sickening some who’ve had their shots – or the virus.

Just last week, Oregon reported 7,196 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases, and 31 more deaths.

Columbia County alone reported 82 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases.

We were just leaving the theatre thinking the movie was ending, but it’s becoming a double feature because we haven’t wiped out the virus. We haven’t adequately protected our society by inoculating enough people

to keep it at bay or cause it to fizzle out. Economic disruption begins anew.

People are frustrated, scared or dismissive, a horrendous combination. Just last week the Washington Post ran this insightful piece: The delta variant arrived at just the right time to break our spirits.

Side effects of the pandemic are in full play. Resistance to getting inoculated.

Resistance to protecting ourselves, our families, our co-workers. Even just plain uncertainty and indecision are creating a paralysis of progress with the vaccine that’s as debilitating as the virus itself.

Last year’s scenes were bad: Businesses were shut tight; bills couldn’t be paid.

Family and friends isolated, hundreds of thousands dying alone. Entire factories shut down by outbreaks, manu-

facturing and supply chains interrupted or broken. Health systems and hospitals overloaded to the breaking point.

Mandatory masking that nobody likes though scientifically makes a difference.

Oregonians were so focused on when the mask mandate would be lifted, they didn’t give thought to whether that requirement might come back. Maybe we all got a little lazy, or numb.

But the need for masks is back, indoors at least, and that’s a movie scene that foreshadows more bad things happening. We’re going backwards.

What happened? Just like in a movie, the sun rose the next day. Vaccines were developed at record pace.

People got protected and fewer were getting sick and dying. Businesses re-opened.

The arguments over whether to mask seem to diffuse even

if they still confused. We got better.

But we didn’t get well.

Not by a long shot. Now the virus is mutating. There’s delta and lambda, and more and more people are getting sick; not surprisingly -- the unvaccinated. Of concern, some who’ve been vaccinated are getting sick too, so booster shots are almost certainly on the horizon. More disruption, resistance, and indecision. There are some serious reasons for concern about this acknowledged and predictable new wave.

Some are global in scope; others are local and there are actions in play to help address them.

Hospital impact The new variant is starting to max hospitals to the breaking point. Let’s all remind ourselves: we don’t have a

hospital here. If those in our “region” -- which means the Portland area -- get overloaded – our families, our friends, ourselves…. where do we go? Health care workers are quitting in droves. We’ve run them into the ground over the past year… and yet we refuse to help ourselves avoid having to go to the hospital.

Would you stay and work?

Hospital-less Columbia County is in trouble if “our” hospitals start turning people away. What we need to do: stay healthy.

Voices of the Community Blue grass music The Rosebud Restaurant in Scappoose is interested in hosting a traditional Bluegrass Jam from 7-9 on Tuesday evenings, beginning as soon as Covid precautions can safely accommodate group music.

Recently, a long-standing Tuesday bluegrass jam at the Rock Creek Tavern in Beaverton ended as McMenamin’s decided to cease live music at that and many other of their locations. The Rosebud Restaurant has graciously offered their venue as a possible successor to the

Rock Creek jam, provided enough local traditional Bluegrass musicians (5-10) can be found.

Traditional Bluegrass music is an acoustic, stringoriented group country music popularized by Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys in the 1920s and has a long tradition of eclectic folk sources, virtuosic picking and close, high vocal harmonies. The five most common bluegrass instruments are guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and string bass.

The aim of the Rosebud Bluegrass jam is to allow players of those instruments in the Columbia County area to come together weekly to

enjoy and explore the broad and varied Bluegrass repertoire in a collegial, welcoming environment. Although at least an intermediate level of musicianship is expected, more important is a respect for Bluegrass traditions and a serious desire to participate faithfully.

Those interested in knowing more about the Rosebud Traditional Bluegrass weekly jam are invited to contact David Ball at 503-369-3430 or via email at dab@drawabead.com.

Long live Bluegrass Music!

Garden Plots: Heat blast mitigation

CHIP BUBL Chronicle Guest Article

It will be interesting to see the plant response to this week’s heat blast.

There are several mitigating factors that may reduce damage. Temperatures will be a bit lower than the heat nightmare at the end of June.

Additionally, day-length is considerably shorter now which should help. We probably will see more sunburned apples, possibly more bark damage, and some loss of tomato and green bean flowers. Corn maturity will accelerate, and the squash family loves this weather, assuming they both have plenty of water.

Another reminder is in order about how little moisture there is in our soils. Keep woody plants that you really value watered.

Blackberry and raspberry canes that are done fruiting can be removed and the new “primocanes” can be tied up to the trellis.

There is still time to plant a fall/winter vegetable garden. It is also a good time to prep the area where you will plant garlic in late September to early October.

It is still unclear how many yellow jacket and baldfaced hornet nests are active.

Calls to the office are picking up but still seem lower than normal. My vaunted ability to predict whether it would be a high or low year based on spring rainfall is in question. I bet on low despite some early warm days (good for yellow jacket queens) but followed by some cool, moist though not really rainy days (maybe not so good for the

queens). There is an offchance that nest starting was delayed until mid-June and fall hunting season could be lousy with yellow jackets.

Slugs have been nonactors for the last several months. They aren’t gone but are hunkered deep in protected places including soil cracks and under anything marginally moist. I haven’t missed them.

Aphids are showing up in droves on kale and other cabbage family plants. Control is a challenge but washing them off in the garden and also in the kitchen makes the crops edible. Where are the lady beetles?

There seem to be an abundance of chipmunks this year. Usually, food abundance the previous year (or a decline in predation) helps to predict numbers. But neither factor seemed to be different than normal last year. It was a mild winter and perhaps breeding started early and often.

The original eviction moratorium expired Saturday, July 31. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a new moratorium.

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky signed an order determining the evictions of tenants for failure to make rent or housing payments could be detrimental to public health control measures to slow the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The order will expire on Oct. 3, 2021 and applies in United States counties experiencing substantial and high levels of community transmission levels of SARS-CoV-2.

The eviction moratorium allows additional time for rent relief to reach renters and to further increase vaccination rates. In the context of a pandemic, eviction moratoria — like quarantine, isolation, and social distancing — can be an effective public health measure utilized to prevent the spread of communicable

disease. The eviction moratorium allows self-isolation and self-quarantine by people who become ill or who are at risk of transmitting COVID-19 by keeping people out of congregate settings and in their own homes.

The CDC order can be found at: www.cdc.gov/ coronavirus/2019-ncov/covideviction-declaration.html.

According to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the emergence of the Delta variant has led to a rapid acceleration of community transmission in the United States, putting more Americans at increased risk, especially if they are unvaccinated.

“This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads,” Walenskt said. “It is imperative that public health authorities act quickly to mitigate such an increase of evictions, which could increase the likelihood of new spikes

• Fleas can transmit tapeworms, bubonic plague, and other maladies. No word on COVID but it is very unlikely for a variety of reasons.

• Many pets (and humans) are intensely allergic to flea saliva.

• To get rid of fleas, you must: • Vacuum inside persistently and vigorously to suck up the wiggly flea larva.

• Spray methoprene, an insect growth regulator that keep the larva from ever becoming adult fleas.

The larva die of boredom (perhaps). It is slow to take effect since it doesn’t effec-

tively kill adult fleas. You can find some aerosol mixes that have both adult knock down capability and then methoprene, which works more slowly.

• Treat the pet. That is where most of the fleas reside. Insecticides that move from a drop on the back (imidacloprid and others) through the animal have revolutionized flea control.

Talk to your veterinarian about options.

“Investing in an equitable recovery is something we have an unwavering commitment to,” OHCS Executive Director Margaret Salazar said. “Workers and families across the state are just beginning to recoup from the trauma and economic hardship caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we must do all we can, and use all tools available to protect them from becoming unhoused during this vulnerable time.”

Tenants applying to the Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program (OERAP) can receive help with bills to ensure they stay stably housed while qualifying for additional eviction protections.

The CDC’s new moratorium does not provide universal coverage. In Oregon, renters have additional protections for nonpayment of rent if they apply for rental assistance. To ensure tenants struggling to pay rent and utilities are served as quickly as possible, OHCS is shifting outside of the normal agency role temporarily to provide additional support especially to the Metro area which has seen the greatest number of applicants.

The Oregon Emergency Rental Assistance Program is open and accepting applications and can cover current, future and back rent, along with utilities. This is the first time the agency has run a statewide portal where Oregonians can

CDC announces new renter eviction moratorium STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net

Renters in Columbia County, across Oregon and the nation not able to afford monthly rent due to the COVID-19 pandemic impact have a new grace period.

Oregon Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici has released details about an extension to the federal eviction moratorium.

Several months ago, Congress provided funding to help renters get through the pandemic. Many Oregonians are still trying to access the assistance, which is also available to landlords, a release from Bonamici’s office states.

Bonamici said just by applying for assistance, Oregon renters are protected from eviction for an additional 60 days, and in Multnomah County it’s an additional 90 days. Renters and property owners can check eligibility at: www.oregonrentalassistance.org or call 211 for more information.

Oregon concerns Concerned with the speed at which rental assistance is getting in the hands of Oregonians, Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) officials said they are taking multiple steps to make rental assistance resources available to Oregonians across the state, including the hiring of an outside vendor to assist partners with their backlog of applications.

“Across much of the state applications are moving,” said Andrea Bell, Director of Housing Stabilization. “Most of the additional capacity from our third-party vendor will help those agencies serving the tri-county area, where we are most concerned with the speed at which assistance is getting in the hands of tenants. As the state housing agency, we will continue taking bold action to stabilize renters.”

Historically in Oregon, rental assistance application processing takes place at the local level. OHCS has expanded to bring on an additional 63 staff and contractors to process applications and help tenants finalize their incomplete applications. The agency is currently working with a vendor to more than double that number. Officials said the unprecedented move will ensure applications are processed as quickly as

access a singular application regardless of region. The centralized portal increases language access, transparency and allows the state to target additional resources to Community Action Agencies with backlogs. The application is available to all individuals living in Oregon, regardless of immigration status.

Tenants who fear they may fall behind should find out if they qualify and apply today at oregonrentalassistance.org.

Spanish speakers in need of assistance should contact the Oregon Human Development Corporation, 1 855-215-6158.

OHCS cannot provide legal advice. If a tenant receives a notice of eviction for nonpayment, they should call 2-1-1 immediately to get directly connected to information and resources. Additional nonpayment of rent eviction information about legal protections are available at the Oregon Law Center website.

Renters who have gotten court papers about an eviction can call the Eviction Defense Project line at 888-585-9638, or email EvictionDefense@ oregonlawcenter.org.

OERAP officials said they are working with a variety of culturally specific organizations, community-based groups and landlord partners to spread the word about rental assistance. Resources are available to help prevent evictions and ensure basic housing security for Oregonians struggling to stay housed during the global pandemic.

Scappoose Celebrates 100 years ferent audiences throughout the community, and planning and creation of this event has really been a communitywide undertaking, involving everyone in Scappoose, from local community groups to interested citizens, to our local businesses and community partners.

The Chronicle: As the community reflects on its past through the centennial celebration, how will this event help city residents and businesses embrace the future?

The Scappoose 100 Year Centennial Schedule JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The City of Scappoose celebrates its 100-year birthday August 13 and 14.

Organizers said this free community event, open to everyone, will encompass all of Veteran’s and Heritage Parks in Scappoose and may be the largest community celebration the city has ever experienced. See the event schedule with this story.

“After 18 months of being confined by COVID-19, it’s high time for all of us to celebrate our community with our friends, neighbors, and old acquaintances from years past,” a statement from the City of Scappoose News letter reads. “Scappoose 100 will be a great opportunity to reflect on our past, enjoy our present, and embrace our future.”

The Chronicle reached out to the Scappoose Centennial Committee Chair Mike Sykes and Vice Chair Pete McHugh for insight into the event.

The Chronicle: As the Scappoose Centennial Committee launched its planning for this special celebration,

what has been the underlining theme and mission?

Mike Sykes - Pete McHugh: The Committee developed its theme early on in the planning process with the input of City Council.

The overarching theme is Community, focusing on Scappoose’s Past, Present, and Future. This is expressed through the event slogan, “Embrace the Future” and the mission of having something for everyone during the event, making the event unforgettable and fun, and most importantly making it a learning experience. We are celebrating Scappoose turning 100.

The Chronicle: What is the significance of this 100year celebration?

Sykes-McHugh: Scappoose is 100 years old! That’s a milestone that can’t be overlooked. We want this special event to be the biggest and most memorable party in our city’s history. It’s our hope to highlight our proud past and our bright future and celebrating our thriving close-knit community. Having a giant party is a pretty

good way to get that message out. Best of all, we’ll get the job done in just 48 hours.

The Chronicle: How does the city and centennial organizers hope that this event will connect the community?

Sykes-McHugh: There’s nothing like a party to connect the community and this will be a party with a purpose. We want people to appreciate our unique history, our pioneers, early settlers and city founders, and the events that shaped who we are today. We not only want to celebrate our history, but to learn from it. How can we make Scappoose an even better place to live and to raise a family in the future? Additionally, there are various activities that speak to dif-

Sykes-McHugh: We want to showcase our beautiful city and community. People just driving through Scappoose are easily underwhelmed. What they don’t see are our great parks and neighborhoods, schools that are some of the best in the state, the Crown-Z Trail, Multnomah Channel and some of the best kayaking, water skiing and fishing in the Portland area. According to a 2021 study, we are the fourth most livable city and the fifth safest city in the whole state. Not bad! And we’re getting better. We want people to know that.

People look for community connections, a place to make family memories and celebrate life, and a home and community where they can build on their dreams.

Visitors to the event will feel the embrace of our community, experience our amazing local businesses, and see the bright future available to them in Scappoose.

Citizens Day in the Park 2021 Community members gathered at McCormick Park Saturday, Aug. 7 for the annual St. Helens Citizens Day celebration. Organizers said the day focuses on making and strengthening community connections and celebrates community members and the city’s McCormick Park.

Activities included family-friendly events, a ribbon cutting for the new play equipment at the park, live music, community booths, vintage cars on display, and a free community barbeque offered by members of the St. Helens City Council.

The event had been cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Delta variant cases, deaths continue to surge JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Columbia County recorded 13 new COVID-19 cases and the state saw 3,229 cases between Friday and Sunday, Aug. 6, 7 and 8. The number of COVID-19 cases reached 230,103 as of Monday, Aug. 9, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).

OHA reported 14 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon Monday, raising the state’s death toll to 2,903.

Health officials said the majority of the cases are caused by the Delta variant and are among those unvaccinated.

New mask mandate Multnomah County will be the first county in the state to mandate a mask wearing policy for all indoor public locations since the Delta variant cases began to surge. The mandate will take effect Friday, Aug. 13,

for everyone in the county regardless of vaccination status. Multnomah County recorded 538 new COVID-19 cases over the three day period.

Governor Kate Brown issued the following statement concerning Multnomah County’s new mask requirement: “From the beginning of this pandemic, city and county leaders have asked me for local control and the ability to make local public health decisions when it comes to COVID-19. I’d like to thank Chair Kafoury and Multnomah County leaders for taking bold action to slow the spread of the Delta variant in our communities.

Wearing a mask is a simple way to protect your friends and family. Indoor mask requirements will help us stop the spread of COVID-19 while keeping Oregon open for business.

“Last week, I spoke with county leaders statewide,

stop the Delta variant from stretching Oregon hospitals beyond their full capacity.”

Columbia County

Metro Creative Connection / The Chronicle

Local, state and federal health administrators say the Delta variant has triggered the latest pandemic surge and that the majority of cases are among people who have not been vaccinated. They say that is why it is important for everyone to get vaccinated.

and several elected officials from the areas of our state seeing the largest spikes in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations asked me not to take statewide action, and again asked for local control.

“I am calling on local leaders to take action now

to institute mask requirements. At this point in the pandemic, local leaders are in a unique position to help deliver the message to members of their communities about effective safety measures like vaccination and masks. But the fact remains,

we have a finite number of staffed hospital beds in Oregon. If local leaders continue not to act and their regional hospitals exceed their capacity, it will impact hospitals all across the state. We will continue to explore statewide health measures necessary to

There has been no official statement from Columbia County Public Health or the county board of commissioners concerning such a mask mandate in Columbia County. Local and regional health authorities have urged people to closely follow the state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) health and safety recommendations to help slow the sharp increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Such recommendations include wearing face coverings in all public indoor locations.

The Sand Island Sandcastle Competition will be held on the island Aug. 13-15.

Sand Island is a small man-made island in the Columbia River just east of the Old Town District in St. Helens.

The first-ever Sand Island Sandcastle Competition comes to Sand Island August 13-15.

Award-winning sandcastle carvers will be showcasing their creations. The carvings will be completed on Friday, August 13. Watch their progress as they create the sand art pieces. On Saturday and Sunday, all carvings will be available for public viewing.

Other activities include sand carving classes and competitions; scavenger hunts on Sand Island; and more.

In the following conversation with St. Helens Communication Officer Crystal King, The Chronicle finds out more about Sand Island and

LLC to manage, operate, and maintain the city-owned portion of Sand Island, including rehabilitating and utilizing existing improvements on the island and installing and maintaining picnic tables, fire rings, and tent pads at each campsite. They recently received approval through the St. Helens Planning Department to construct two picnic shelters and six cabins on the island.

They are now in the process of receiving approval for these structures through the city’s building department.

the city’s efforts to use the small area just off the city’s Old Town District as a tourist attraction.

The Chronicle: What is the history of Sand Island, when was it created and why and what are the island’s dimensions?

Crystal King: The island varies in size, but it is approximately 32 acres. Over the years, the island has served as a disposal site for Columbia River dredging spoils.

The Chronicle: At this point, what public amenities are available on Sand Island

and what new future amenities are planned?

King: Sand Island is developed with a public marine park which is partially owned by the City of St. Helens (about 20 acres) and partially owned by the Oregon Department of State Lands. Currently amenities include public docks, three public restrooms, approximately 74 single and group campsites available by reservation, horseshoe, volleyball, and cornhole areas, and day use areas for picnicking.

In April 2019, the city entered into a ground lease agreement with St. Helens Sand Island Campground,

The Chronicle: What does the city believe is the value of this island is in terms of attract-

ing tourists and new business opportunities for St. Helens and how is the city attempting to market Sand Island?

King: Sand Island offers unique motorized and nonmotorized access to recreation and camping opportunities in the middle of the Columbia River. The island is near Next Adventure’s Scappoose Bay Paddling Center, the Scappoose Bay Marina, and the St. Helens Riverfront District.

With shuttle service now available as well, Sand Island is an easy way for families, kayakers, and boaters to enjoy the Columbia River on a stretch of the river that is less crowded

than the Portland metro area.

The city contracts with St. Helens Sand Island Campground, LLC to manage the campground and market the amenities on the island.

The Chronicle: What other events does the city believe would fit at Sand Island and why?

King: Apart from the upcoming sandcastle weekend, the city does not have specific future events planned for Sand Island. The city will continue to consider event proposals that would be a good fit for the island and draw visitors to our Riverfront District.

Local competitor places 3rd in Strongman event

Tim Mack competes at the Oregon Feats of Strength Strongman competition in Prineville.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

St. Helens High School 2007 graduate and local resident Tim Mack had never competed in a strongman competition before, but during his first competition this summer, he placed third in his division.

After being convinced by a friend suggesting he should try the grueling competitive sport, Mack began a series of strength building routines to prepare for the July 10 Oregon Feats of Strength Strongman event at the Crook County Fairgrounds in Prineville.

Through his friend that suggested the competition, Mack met his coach Jake Swales who helped Mack train physically and mentally for the competition.

“The best part of all this is that my gym is in my garage, because during the pandemic gyms closed so my coach and I brought weights, a squat rack, sandbags, even a keg and filled it with sand for the keg training,” He said. “It was a fun experience. I like the process of training and just bettering myself with proper form and

technique.”

Mack credits Swales for helping him prepare for the competition through strength building with proper form.

Each participant competed in five events at the Prineville strongman competition, including pushing and pulling a weighted wheelbarrow 50 feet, a block press, carrying a large weighted keg over their heads, a seated arm-overarm rope sled drag, and repetitious lifting a weighted keg over a bar.

“During the competition I had 60 seconds to preform each lift as many times as I possibly could,” Mack said.

“I think the challenging part about this competition was that it was my first one. I was nervous, anxious, excited and fueled with adrenaline. I used that energy to aid myself.”

While the events were challenging, Mack said it was a good experience for him.

“The competition was great,” Mack said. “Everyone there was ready to compete and have a good time.”

Mack said he hasn’t yet signed up for any other strongman events, but he is continuing to lift weights and working to stay in shape.

TRIBUTE TO NONPROFITS Charitable nonprofits embody the best of America, according to the National Council of Nonprofits.

Nonprofits provide a way for people to work together for the common good, transforming shared beliefs and hopes into action and nonprofits give shape to our boldest dreams, highest ideals, and noblest causes, the Council states at its website.

In this special presentation, The Chronicle and our advertising partners recognize and pay tribute to our area nonprofits, their staff and volunteers who help those in need. It can be a difficult and challenging journey, but the nonprofits work to

find the path leading to solutions.

According to the National Council of Nonprofits, America’s 1.3 million charitable nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, enlighten, and nurture people of every age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status, from coast to coast, border to border, and beyond. They foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. Every single day.

We encourage our readers to seek out and offer consistent support, financially or as a volunteer, to the local nonprofits of their choice.

What is a not for profit? A not for profit is a business that does philanthropic work for the greater good of the community. Being a not for profit does not mean you don’t make a profit, it means you don’t have shareholders to which you are responsible. Any profit made at lifempowered goes directly back into our services, to cover increases in the cost of doing business; infrastructure and repairs, food and lodging for the people we support and ideally, wage increases for our dedicated and invaluable Direct Support Professionals (DSP’s).

DSP’s are the backbone of our services. Without them, we would not exist. They show up, even in this awful time of COVID-19, 24/7, to ensure that the people we support – Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) – are able to live the life they choose.

Despite being a private, not for profit agency, lifempowered is heavily dependent on the funding provided by the Oregon State Legislators for IDD services in 24 hour settings. Because we are chronically underfunded: current funding supports about 70% of our cost of doing business, 88% of which is the cost of 24 hour employees, we are always struggling to give wage increases and pay what our amazing DSP’s deserve.

Thankfully, this last legislative session saw the largest increase in funding ever in the history of IDD services, but unfortunately it will not be distributed until July of 2022. Between the chronic underfunding, the COVID-19 pandemic and the high cost of living, we are at an all-time staffing low. And, as you can imagine, we cannot safely operate without our DSP’s.

If you would like to contribute in other ways, we would love to hear from you – we are always looking for motivated people to join our Board of Directors, volunteers for our Capital Campaign, and of course financial donations are always appreciated.

You can apply for open positions directly at 105 Port Avenue in St Helens or on our website www.lifemp.org.

For more information about joining our Board, reach out to Cindy Stockton, Executive Director at 503-397-1922 X 302 We can’t wait to hear from you!
