City council approves $2 Community Recreation and Parks Fee

Serving Columbia County since 1881

Ahoy, mateys!

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

St. Helens City Council has set and approved a $2 Community Recreation and Parks Fee, to appear as a line item on residents’ utility bills. The resolution states the fee will not take effect until January of 2020, and will “sunset,” or end on December 31, 2021. The fee will “provide support for the recreation and parks programs as well as research for creation of a separate taxing district for support and sustainability of St. Helens Recreation, Parks, and St. Helens School Partnership facilities,” the resolution states. City councilors discussed the fee at the city council work session the day of August 7 and passed Resolution 1860 later that day at their regular session. Matt Brown, City Finance Director, said during the work session that delaying the onset of the fee until January of 2020 would be necessary because of the city’s new software system that facilitates utility bills. Before appearing on the agenda packet for the regular work session, the fee was set at $3. After a brief discussion, councilors agreed to lower the fee to $2. “We never had a consensus to be $3,” Councilor Ginny Carlson said at the work session. Mayor Rick Scholl said the $3 had been his idea and directed Brown to change the resolution to $2. City councilors have explained at various public forums that the eventual goal for funding the recreation center is to form a Parks and Recreation District, which they hope will be used as the permanent funding source of the program. St. Helens residents would have to vote on a measure to approve a Parks and Recreation District. As Scholl explained during a June 24 public forum to discuss the recreation center fee, the $3 fee was intended to raise money not only for the recreation center, but also to get the measure for the future district onto a future ballot, and to pay for market analysis on what an appropriate tax for a Parks and Recreation District would be. During the August 7 work session, Brown stressed to the councilors that he wanted them to vote on the issue that night. “I need direction on this rec program. We’ve kind of hobbled together and taken money out of the General Fund to help get this thing started. I don’t think there’s any disagreement that it’s needed in the community, it’s just a matter of how do you pay for it,” Brown said. City councilors first started discussing a line-item fee tacked onto residents’ utility bills to help fund recreation center programming last year, as Scholl explained at a March 25 public forum. At that forum, Scholl also said adding a line-item See RECREATION Page A2

Pat McCord, “Captain” of the Shiver Me Ice Cream ship, and Janeen Sepulveda, “Quartermaster and First Mate,” hand out ice cream to customers at low cost.

‘Pirate ship’ serves sweets CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

Residents in Scappoose, St. Helens and Columbia City may have noticed a truck passing by that looks strangely like a pirate ship. The same “ship” may have also been playing the “Pirates of the Caribbean” song heard in the ride by the same name at Disneyland or Disney World. No, the inhabitants of the ship are not coming to plunder the village. In fact, they have been seen indulging in very un-pirate like behavior: giving out sweet treats to residents, for a very

low price. Pat McCord and Janeen Sepulveda, partners in life and in the ice cream business, have been running their pirate ship-themed ice cream truck, “Shiver Me Ice Cream” since 2016. McCord serves as “Captain” of the ship, and Sepulveda as “Quartermaster and First Mate.” The ice cream ship starts running its route in May, and continues through the end of September, although last year the couple served customers at Halloweentown. A typical daily route serves as many as 100 customers, making approximately 50 stops a day, ac-

cording to Sepulveda. The couple said their truck has traveled very rural roads in the county, as well as stationed at county hot-spots like 13 Nights on the River, making sure to sell to as many people as they can. Ice cream from the truck is pre-packaged, and includes Nestle Drumsticks, Haagen-Dazs vanilla milk chocolate bars, fruit bars, and around 20 different varieties of ice cream. The novelties cater to different diets, including dairyfree flavors as well as low-calorie and sugar-free ice cream. There’s even one brand, Frosty Paws, that

is served exclusively to dogs for any customers who want to include their pets in on the fun. Prices range from $1 to $4, with the average price being around $2.50 to $3.50. But Captain McCord said the couple doesn’t always adhere strictly to those prices. “There’s been several times where kids and their parents stopped us and the parents for one reason or another didn’t realize they didn’t have any money on them,” McCord said. In those cases,

Uncertainty over MTR Western contract raise CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

MTR Western, the agency Columbia County has contracted to provide buses for CC Rider, has informed the county transit service it wants to raise its hourly increase, but different people have provided different figures for what that increase should be. According to Karen Kane, Public Affairs Coordinator for Columbia County, Jeremy Butzlaff, President of MTR Western gave $8 to $10 an hour increases as the desired figure, while the Nicholas Carlstrom, Director of Finance for MTR Western gave a figure of $4 an hour increase. The figures were not given in an official notice but were part of a conversation that Transit Administrator Todd Wood had had with MTR Western officials on Wednesday, Aug. 7. Kane also wanted to correct some misinformation that the agency threatened to pull their contract, saying the agency did not do so. The reasoning behind the increase for the company is down to rising insurance rates, according to Kane. The company had informed CC Rider in June that their insurance rates were going to go up, but they never made a formal request for a rate increase. “We’ve gotten conflicting information, so we’re going to wait until we’ve gotten something from them that explains the rate,” Kane said.

CC Rider is facing uncertainty with MTR Western, the contracted agency that provides bus drivers for the transit service.

Aside from the conflicting information, the rate itself does not add up for CC Rider staff. John Dreeszen, CC Rider Transit Coordinator did his own calculations on the rate increase, and his figures did not yield an $8 to $10 increase. “I think the question goes back to MTR, how did they do their calculations,” Kane said. “Two

months into your contract, your insurance rates go up? It’s odd. I’m not saying they’re not honest, I’m just saying, what are they looking at?” The increase request comes four months after the Columbia County Board of Commissioners approved a new contract with the agency on April 15 of this year, which was a wage increase from

$40 to $58 an hour. That new contract came after MTR Western had said in the fall of 2018 that they were going to need more funding. Before that time, in the three years the company has been contracted for CC Rider, they had never renegotiated a contract. The reason CC Rider contracts out for drivers rather than hiring in-house is because of overall savings. According to Kane, CC Rider staff compared the cost of having in-house drivers rather than contracted drivers before hiring MTR Western as the contracted agency. A lot of the cost savings is the PERS cost, which the county would not have to pay with a contracted agency like MTR Western. “That’s still the case until we find out what they’re asking of us, and why,” Kane said. Before the county knows of an exact cost increase, CC Rider staff will not know if they can meet the increase, according to Kane. “It may be possible to meet an increase, but we don’t know how much they’re asking us,” Kane said. CC Rider has been struggling financially for a while, making massive cuts to the service in February of this year in order to close the gap between revenue and expenses. As The Chronicle has previously reported, a large part of the financing gap stems from

Port commissioners look at products provided by Adam Kurtz, owner of Oregon Fusion Farms, LLC at their recent commission meeting.

Hemp processing plant could be coming to St. Helens CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

There may be a new hemprelated business setting up shop in the county soon. At their Wednesday, Aug. 7 commission meeting, the Port of Columbia County reviewed a potential lease with Oregon Fusion Farms, LLC, (OFF) a wholesale hemp processing company that plans to move into 514 Milton Way, a currently vacant building at Milton Creek Industrial Park. The lease will be on the agenda again at the Aug. 28 commission meeting. If the lease is approved, the 14,000 square-foot facility will be used for drying and storage of dry hemp material, as well as serve as the storage facility for another hemp organization that OFF has contracted with, according to owner Adam Kurtz, who also refers to his company as Fusion CBD. The hemp will arrive via both partner and contract farms. The dried material will then be shipped

to 12 partner farms around the state who will store the material for further processing. During the meeting, Kurtz stressed that the company does not do any extractions, thereby not dealing with any solvents or chemicals. “It’s primarily dry material,” he said. Kurtz said most of the product ends up on trucks, not trains. He also said the hemp plant produces a color that dissipates as the plant dries out. The basic rent will cost the facility $5,886 per month, for a total of $70,632 a year, and the lease will be renewable every two years, according to port documents. Craig Allison, Property and Operations Manager for the port, as well as Deputy Executive Director, said the port has been in talks with the company for approximately two months, a standard procedure for the port before reviewing an initial lease. At the port meeting, Kurtz presented port commissioners with a large sample of products the company produces. Those products include topi-

cals, lotions, tinctures, hemp cones and hemp mints, among others. The company is based in both New York and Oregon, holding licenses in both states. According to Kurtz, the company paid out $4 million this year to contract farmers who grow hemp for them. They have 20 partner farms that feed into their supply chain, which are dispersed among four states; Oregon, New York, Maryland and Tennessee. These farms receive half of the anticipated value of the crop prior to harvest, which mitigates their risk to plant the product, according to Kurtz. Kurtz said the company has 400 acres in the ground growing hemp so far, with 250 acres in the ground in Oregon this year. They have plans to have 2,500 acres in the ground by 2020. “We’re really just at the infancy of this. This is one of the single biggest cash crops in the state, revenue wise,” Kurtz said. If approved, the company will supply six to 10 jobs for

the community on a permanent basis, hired on full time employment. Kurtz also plans to hire contract laborers, approximately 20 at the busiest times of the year, such as whenever the facility receives hundreds of thousands of pounds of hemp and have to get it on the trucks in a timely manner. Because of the nature of hemp processing, Kurtz said it is important to get an approval from the port at the next meeting. “We’ll have to move into another facility if they don’t approve in a timely manner,” Kurtz said. If the site is approved for Fusion CBD, Kurtz said he is looking forward to working in the St. Helens community. “I look forward to the opportunity to tap into the local farming network, and the labor pool, and provide an influx of business and opportunity,” Kurtz said. “Coming myself from a farming background, it comes close to my heart to give back to other farmers.”

The Cadillac rolled several times before resting on its passenger side, according to Oregon State Police. CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

A single-vehicle crash involving a silver Cadillac Escalade occurred on Thursday, August 8 at approximately 2:15 p.m. on Highway 30 near milepost 39 in Goble, Oregon, according to Oregon State Police (OSP). The vehicle, “was traveling eastbound when it left the roadway, went up the embankment and rotated/rolled multiple times before coming to rest on its passenger side,” according to a report by OSP. The crash resulted in the death of one person, Barry Robinson Jr., 61, from Oregon City. There were four other passengers in the vehicle. One passenger, Zyrone Powell, 23, from Oregon City was transported with serious injuries, the report states. Three other passengers received minor injuries, in-

cluding the operator, Michael Scarlett, 65 from Oakland, California, as well as passengers Coleman Ewell, 28 from Pleasantville, New Jersey and Clayton Ewell, 25, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the report states. Eric Smythe, Division Chief of Operations for Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR), said one passenger was transported by one of CRFR’s units to an area hospital. “Life Flight was requested, but their ETA was too long, so that’s why we transported by ground,” Smythe said. The other three passengers refused treatment transport, according to Smythe. The crash resulted in the complete closure of Highway 30 for approximately two hours, with a detour provided, according to the OSP report. The highway was then opened to one lane until approximately 8 p.m., according to Smythe.

RECREATION From Page A1 fee to utility bills to pay for recreation center programming is a “not uncommon” practice for cities. The idea for having a recreation center has been in the works since last year, when St. Helens School District Superintendent Scot Stockwell approached city staff in February about forming one. Since then, a partnership has developed between the City of St. Helens and St. Helens School District amenities and other resources between the partners for recreation center programming. Having a line-item fee added to utility bills to support the recreation center has been met with mixed results from St. Helens residents. City staff and councilors said they initially received a lot of support for the idea when they sent out a survey to constituents. At the March 25 public forum, of 20 residents who attended, two were against the idea. At the most recent, June 24 public forum, five residents attended, and at least two also voiced opposition to the fee. The Chronicle also ran an online poll for the June 26 print edition asking if residents would support a recreation center fee, with 75% voting against the fee, and 25% voting in favor. Brown also communicated to The Chronicle that those who pay the fee, meaning those who reside within St. Helens city limits, will see reduced costs with recreation center programing.

CCMH to manage Columbia County Wraparound program Leadership role will transfer from GOBHI to the community mental health provider in 2020 Youth services provided by the Columbia County Wraparound program will pass into new management next year, agencies announced Monday. Effective Jan. 1, 2020, Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) will assume responsibility for Wraparound. Greater Oregon Behavioral Health, Inc. (GOBHI), which currently manages the program, will collaborate with CCMH to ensure a smooth transition process for participating members. “It’s heartening to know that Wraparound services will continue to thrive, and that CCMH will have a hands-on role in its future,” said CCMH Executive Director Julia Jackson. “As

a long-time partner with GOBHI, it’s a natural fit for CCMH to continue this important work on behalf of youth and families.” Wraparound is an intensive, team-based planning process that follows a series of steps to help children, young adults, and their families accomplish their shared goals. The voluntary program serves youth who may have complex behavioral health needs. The change in administration of Wraparound resulted from recent organizational transitions at the Coordinated Care Organization that serves Oregon Health Plan (OHP or Medicaid) members in Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties — Columbia

Pacific Coordinated Care Organization (CPCCO). The program’s transition between GOBHI and CCMH will be a team effort to ensure quality standards are upheld, Kevin Campbell, CEO of GOBHI explained. “This is a program we implemented that makes a critical difference in families’ lives and offers hope during trying times,” Campbell said. The change also provides an opportunity to consider improvements to programming and service capacity, Jackson explained. CCMH is engaged in an initiative to improve and expand its host of services. This fall, staff will conduct outreach — to both

assist members and gather feedback that will steer planning efforts. “We’d like to hear from members about how Wraparound has made an impact, as well as areas where we can improve,” Jackson said. “We value the input from participants about the kind of services they would like to see.” The next several months will be a transition period for CCMH and GOBHI to jointly weigh local feedback and develop plans for Wraparound’s role in the coming years. Campbell said, “At the end of the day, the focus needs to be on how we make a positive difference for kids and families.”

About CCMH Columbia Community Mental Health, headquartered in St. Helens, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to excellence in behavioral healthcare. Since 1975, CCMH has created safe and supportive opportunities for healing and recovery, enhancing the overall quality of life for members of Columbia County.

Community partnerships make for successful National Night Out JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

A joint collaboration for one of the county’s yearly National Night Out events, a community-building campaign that promotes policecommunity partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie, brought together the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR) and the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) together on Tuesday, August 6. “This was the biggest turnout we’ve had for National Night Out in recent history and it really showed the community partnerships that we’ve built,” Sheriff Brian Pixley said. “It was really fun.” The CCSO hosted a dunk tank on site to raise money for the Amani Center. Pixley, Chief Deputy Ryan Murphy, Captain Tony Weaver, Lt. Brooke McDowall, SHPD Officer Kolten Edwards, SHPD records clerk Tia Sharp

and CRFR firefighter best known as “G” all took turns in the tank, and tickets sold for citizens to take their turn raised a total of $222 in donations. “That means that someone was dunked at least 1.48 times per minute to earn that much money,” Pixley said. “Commissioner Margaret Magruder came down and she bought a bunch of tickets for the dunk tank and she was literally handing them out to everyone she could find while I was up there getting dunked. It was really interesting.” Officials with CRFR said the kids were able to spray water with the fire hose and check out their ambulance and fire trucks. SHPD Sgt. Jose Castilleja said the whole night made for an amazing moment. He said CRFR was actively refilling the dunk tank with their hoses and splashing participants, and the “whole crowd went wild” in response. “There were many times when we got to interreact

with a lot of folks in the public,” Castilleja said. “It was nice to catch up with some folks that remembered you from a call in the past and to see a lot of the kids I see at the schools and other events that were there. They really liked the jail tours and getting stickers. The bouncy houses were a lot of fun and, of course, who doesn’t like free hamburgers and hotdogs?” On hand for the first time this year was also the Rx Leadership Initiative (RALI) of Oregon – a coalition of community leaders and organizations, health care stakeholders and business representatives working together to address opioid addiction and misuse across the state. Representatives handed out drug disposal pouches along with informational pamphlets. InRoads Credit Union also brought out their photo booth. Pixley said they plan on expanding the event to make it even better next year.

Viewpoints Merkley, Wyden, Democrats call for reversal Of Trump-Pence Administration’s Gag Rule Extreme Trump-Pence gag rule tells doctors which government-approved medical procedures they may inform patients about Oregon’s Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden joined 40 of their fellow Democratic senators in sending a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar slamming the Trump-Pence Administration’s new “gag rule” that compromises the Title X family planning program. This rule dictates to physicians and other health care providers which government-approved medical options they may inform patients about, jeopardizing the health care of millions of people who rely on Title Xfunded providers for cancer screenings, STI screenings, birth control, family planning services, and more.

The letter came as the Administration’s minimal and conflicting guidance about its harmful rule has caused confusion and concern among providers. The Senators called on the Trump Administration to reverse course on the rule and maintain the essential care Title X-funded clinics provides for over four million patients nationwide. “Over the past few weeks, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has provided minimal and conflicting guidance to health care providers about how and when the Department intends to enforce the Trump Administration’s Title X rule. This rule will undermine the essential confidential nature

of the patient-provider relationship at the nearly 4,000 health centers receiving Title X funding. It will also needlessly compromise health care for the millions of people who rely on the critical services provided by those centers, including comprehensive family planning and screening for diseases such as HIV and cancer. In light of this dangerous impact and the many concerns raised by health care providers, patients, and other stakeholders throughout the development of this rule, we believe the rule should be rescinded,” wrote the Senators. “Four million patients who rely on Title X-funded programs now face lim-

ited options, as clinics and providers recognize the new regulation will force them to choose between receiving federal funds and upholding the confidential relationship between patient and health care provider,” the Senators warned. The Trump Administration’s gag rule undermines the historically bipartisan Title X family planning program and will impact nearly 100 Title X-funded clinics operating in Oregon. The rule interferes with the essential confidential nature of the patient-provider relationship by preventing medical providers from helping patients get the care that is right for them, and gives federal funding to

providers who refuse to fully inform patients—particularly vulnerable and low-income women who would otherwise lack access to care—of their medical options. The letter was led by Senator Patty Murray (DWA) and also signed by Senators Tom Udall (D-NM), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ed Markey (D-MA), Dick Durbin (DIL), Richard Blumenthal (DCT), Bob Menendez (D-NJ), Chris Coons (D-DE), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Deb-

journalistic credence to Riverkeepers ridiculous claims by attributing them instead to the Spotlight can easily be debunked by either just asking the staff or editor at the Spotlight or by reading the Spotlight article of July 19, 2919, titled ‘Climate groups, Global Partners at odds over permits’, for yourself. Lying is just one of the many underhanded tactics used by Riverkeepers et. al. to achieve their desired results regarding our Columbia County waterways and those of the entire nation. For an eye-opening look at their power and nefarious tactics see: https://www.activistfacts. com/organizations/25-water-

keeper-alliance/ Too busy to do that? Here are the cliffs’ notes: Riverkeepers litigious attacks by their army of lawyers on small family farms along US waterways, and any energy resources they have set their gun-sights on, force the farmers to band together in an effort to fend off the attacking Riverkeeper Goliath. Whereupon the Riverkeepers vilify them as ‘factory farms’, attack their farming methods and call for the end of their livelihood and the use of their property. Ditto for the energy producers. Re: recusal of Port members who receive campaign contributions: The Supreme Court has established that po-

litical campaign contributions are free speech rights and thus are our constitutionally protected exercise of our First Amendment. Mr. O’Hanlon’s objection is to the Constitution. As is always the case for Leftists when it serves their purposes. Re: Quoting AOC. Really? You’re going to quote the Socialist who demands America adopt her “Green New Deal” that is projected to cost $93 Trillion over the span of 10 years, end all air travel, require the slaughter of all cattle and an end to the consumption of beef. Really?

Voices of the Community Complaints going unheard At the August 5th planning meeting, three of the commissioners voted in favor to allow a commercial flooring business to operate on their rural residential property on Berg Rd. in Warren. We were told that we can voice our complaints during the next six months to the planning office, at which time they will hold another meeting. We and other neighbors have complained about the noise for the last six months, but those complaints have fallen on deaf ears.

These three commissioners have approved hours of operation for this business to be from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. That gives neighbors only seven hours of quiet time. The commissioners admitted they are setting a new precedence for commercial businesses in a rural residential neighborhood. I’m asking Warren residents to please call or e-mail our planning commissioners to voice your concerns. It’s happening to us, and it could happen to you too. I don’t think other commercial businesses in Warren have six employees or operate at these extended hours. With this new precedence we are going to lose our much-

valued rural quiet neighborhoods. Thank you. Denise Kilgore Warren

Food Preservation recipes and fact sheets can be accessed online at: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/food/preservation August is insect month August has lots of insects and spiders. The largest and showiest ones seem to find their way to the Extension office with regularity. Columbia County has crickets, katydids, and cicadas. Those with the ears to

hear have noticed that their “songs” are just starting. A few chirps here or there. But rest assured, by this weekend there should be a lot more. As night temperatures warm, so do these insects. Mating is on their mind and their songs are designed to attract the perfect female to the right male. Cricket sounds please our ears since they are relatively “clear” tones. The two other groups tend to make more rasping and even abrasive sounds, interesting but less comforting. Cicadas make their sounds in the day but katydids and crickets perform at night. The warmer the night, the faster the sounds pulse. Here is link to an NPR piece on discerning the various sounds: https://www.npr. org/2015/09/08/438473580/ insect-sounds-telling-crickets-cicadas-and-katydidsapart

temporary. Once they are protected by that web, cutting them out is about the only choice and that only makes sense if you would have pruned that limb out anyway. A spectacular insect is the banded alder borer. This insect lays its eggs in dead or dying wood, especially alders. The beetle can fly. The adult emerges as a long beetle of one and half to three or more inches with black and white bands on its back. It has very large antennae which are also banded black and white. People

ground. While this beetle has fearsome larva that are reputed to go for Douglas fir seedlings, I have nev-er seen any plants damaged by them nor heard of anyone spraying for them. They make a distinctive whirring noise if you approach or handle them. Termites on the wing Flying termites don’t indicate that your house is infested with termites. The insects are part of our wood decay cycle and are very common. They certainly have been

Garden Plots

Last August through September, there was a lot of fall webworm activity along Highway 30 from Rainier to Sauvie Island. I am seeing a little activity lately but it isn’t clear where or how bad they will be. Their characteristic webbing is visible on numerous trees. In the home landscape, apples and walnuts seem to get a lot of their attention. Control is not necessary. The leaffeeding damage they do is

with alder firewood often find the adults emerging or trying to lay eggs. They are not home or structural pests and do not need spraying. This is a great insect with which to start an insect collection. Picture from Introduction to North American Beetles by Papp. Another interesting character is the ten-lined June beetle. It can also fly and is often attracted to outside lights. It is an oval insect, rather stout and about 1.5 inches long. It has ten (count them) white lines down their back against a brownish back-

around far longer than humans in this landscape. The reproductive stage of the two termite species fly this time of year to mate. Fertilized queens drop to earth, shed their wings and look for a suitable home. Suitable is the key. A dampwood termite requires continuously wet wood. If there is no dirt piled up against your house or leaking pipes in the walls, you don’t have to worry about the dampwood termite. They can’t live there. If you have a wet wood infestation, replace the damaged wood and correct the source of

the moisture. Treatment is rarely justified. The subterranean termite is more devious. It must have moisture. But it can conduct moisture up mud tubes from the earth into your house structure. Crawl under your house once a year to look for these tubes. If you find them, you may then need to hire an exterminator. But don’t get too complacent. Carpenter ants are our number one wood destroying pest in Columbia County and they are very dangerous. They don’t require wet wood, though they do readily infest it. But that is a story for another column. If you suspect a carpenter ant infestation, you should have your house inspected and develop a treatment plan.

Take a literary walk in the park

It’s summer which means it’s time to get outside, and in that spirit The Columbia City Community Library is inviting the community to take a “Literary Walk in the Park” through the city’s ten beautiful public parks. Posted in each of the parks are one or two literary quotations chosen to reflect the unique nature of each park. Visitors are encouraged to search out these passages and note their authors on a game sheet. During the Columbia City Celebration on September 14, entrants who have successfully found all of the quotes will be eligible for prizes. Game sheets and maps can be obtained at the Columbia City Community Library, Columbia City Hall, or on the library website at www. freewebs.co/cccomlibrary. The summer activity is sponsored by the Friends of the Columbia City Community Library through a generous grant from the Columbia County Cultural Coalition. The library is an all volunteer, self-funded library providing free library services to everyone in Columbia County.

the couple will sometimes let their customers have ice cream for free. The couple will tell the customers, “you get an ice cream and next time you see us, you can pay for it or maybe not,” McCord said. The couple does not have a contract with any ice cream company, and instead gets all of their product from grocery trips they make to places like Costco. One reason the couple is lax on whether or not customers have money has to do with the fact that they run the business without the expectation that they will make a profit. According to McCord, the profit the couple has made off the business in the past has been very low. But making money is not the primary purpose of the business. The couple recently moved to Chapman, Oregon, near Scappoose, to be near one of their grown children who has recently had a baby. The new grandparents are ready to settle down. “We just don’t want to work that hard anymore and just enjoy life a little bit,” Sepulveda said. McCord added, “We just love the truck and spreading the pirate joy.” The pirate theme was inspired by McCord’s love of pirates. McCord is a bronze artist who would frequent Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) pirate events for about eight years. When he stopped going to events and working at his foundry, he and Sepulveda started wondering what they would do with all of their leftover pirate-ware. One idea was to have a garage sale. Another idea was to put the costumes to use. “We decided we were going to be pirates all summer long,” McCord said. That meant starting up their business, dressing as pirates and decking out their truck in material that made it look like a pirate ship. The couple thinks the business has been successful. “People are just great,

and they’ve really welcomed us, and they’ve really been supportive of us,” Sepulveda said. The most challenging part of the business has simply been keeping the treats cold. “A couple of weeks back, we had a power glitch at the house and lost an entire freezer full of product,” McCord said, “and then a couple of days later my inverter broke.” An inverter, which converts battery power into household power to run appliances, is a necessary part of having a freezer. McCord had to drive all the way to Portland to replace the inverter, only to return home and realize the inverter he had bought was broken. “So, I had to bring that one back before we could come back out,” McCord said. If it’s an especially hot day, or if there are any problems with the freezer, (which is decorated to look like a pirate’s chest), it can cause a lot of the top-layer ice creams to thaw out and become misshapen, or eventually melt, which is not good-quality ice cream for customers. McCord said he has developed a couple of different tricks to stop that from happening, like having a separate bag for the top layer ice creams. The miles driven also pose a challenge. Because their truck does not get very good mileage, if the couple ever decides to expand further out into the county, which they said they would like to do, they need to find a cost-effective way to do so. One way is to show up at events, such as 13 Nights on

the River or other celebrations, rather than stick solely to neighborhood routes. Sepulveda said events tend to generate a larger profit for their business than simply driving around the community. “We tried to get into Rainier Days and we didn’t jump on that soon enough. We thought about the Columbia County Fair, especially once we can have our own product that we make, instead of just novelties,” Sepulveda said. Sepulveda also has a baking hobby and said she has thought about combining her baking with ice creamselling in the future. Until the business expands, the couple is content with where they are now. Their favorite part of running their business is seeing the kids’ reactions when they come around the corner. “It’s fun to drive around a corner and just see 10 kids running in 10 different directions and they’re all excited,” McCord said, “and then after they get their ice cream, they’re excited still.” The business has a Facebook page, www.facebook. com/shivermeicecream/, and sometimes when customers message them and request they go out to their side of town, the couple will honor their request. “If we can possibly do it, we’ll be there,” McCord said. Another favorite aspect is seeing the community bond over their business, according to the couple. “There’s just lots of firsts for people and neighbors coming out and buying for other neighbors’ kids,” Sepulveda said. “It’s just nice.”
