Sarah Elizabeth Zuber.

Zuber investigation ongoing CCSO seeks public assistance, family releases statement JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

It has now been six months since the community of Rainier and surrounding areas were rocked by the discovery of 18-year-old Sarah Elizabeth Zuber’s body off of Highway 30 by Neer City Road in Goble, Oregon. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) is once again seeking the public’s assistance in the ongoing investigation, and said they have phone and online tip areas set up. According to District Attorney Jeff Auxier, Zuber’s case is currently a death investigation. At the time Zuber was found, investigators confirmed she was found with no visible injuries. Sheriff Brian Pixley said the CCSO has received Zuber’s autopsy report but said investigators could not speculate as to the cause of death. Pixley said there was still more follow-up to do. “Whenever there’s a loss of life under circumstances like this, it’s imperative that we do all that we possibly can to get to the truth of the matter, and we’re devoting all the resources we can to getting to the truth,” District Attorney Jeff Auxier said. “Every case is different, and I can assure everyone in this community that we’ll leave no stone unturned in our effort to get answers.” As questions still abound around the teen’s mysterious death, Auxier said he understood the community’s frustration with a lack of answers. “This is one that has required a lot of patience from the com-

munity, from law enforcement, from the victim’s family, and it’s just really painful that we all have to be in the dark to the extent that we have,” Auxier added. “But we believe that’s in the best interest of the case and in the best interest of getting to the truth.” In a CCSO press release, officials said they are working the case with the help of the Oregon State Police (OSP), Rainier Police Department (RPD), Scappoose Police Department (SPD) and the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) as they “continue to follow up on leads and investigate the death of our daughter, sister, and friend.” In March, investigators said they believed the “incident” which resulted in the teen’s death is believed to have occurred in the area of the intersection of Neer City Road and Nick Thomas Road in the Rainier area. The incident is believed to have occurred during the late evening hours of Tuesday, March 12, and the early morning hours of Wednesday, March 13. “Our office is asking the public for assistance in this investigation,” Pixley said. “If you have information about Sarah or the events leading up to her death, please call us immediately.”

Sauvie Island Jubilee honors 75th anniversary of conservation district

Zuber family releases statement Through a CCSO press release, the Zuber family is also asking for the public’s help in the investigation. They released the following statement: “Friday, 9/13/19, a palindrome, full moon, and six months since our beautiful Sarah Elizabeth Zuber was taken from this cruel earth. Around 12:30 in the afternoon, on March 13th, I received a hysterical phone call from Sarah’s younger sister. ‘Mom! Sarah is dead in the ditch!’ This is a phone call no parent should ever get. “Much like the rain soaked, overcast day of March 13th, a dark cloud of uncertainty permeates our thoughts as we are left with unanswered questions about the evening of March 12th. At times the grief is unbearable, so much so that only a groan escapes my airway, and the tears flow unceasingly through

The Sauvie Island Jubilee, the first of its kind, is coming up on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Howell Territorial Park on the island. The celebration is in part a celebration of an anniversary: This year marks the 75th anniversary of the West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District (WMSWCD). Co-organizers Eric Jones, an anthropologist and professor from Oregon State University and Renee Magyar, Communications and Outreach Manager of WMSWCD, have been working on the Sauvie Island Jubilee for a little over a year. The organizers said the jubilee celebrates both the district’s anniversary and the island community where the district was originally founded as the Sauvie Island Conservation District. The event is free and according

to Magyar, it will be a community festival in the spirit of past “Wintering In” harvest festivals. During those events, participants were invited to do activities such as candle making and iron work. This year’s event, according to Magyar, will have a lot of those types of activities. According to Jones, many different partners will be participating. Those partners include the Scappoose Historical Society, the Columbia County Historical Society and Museum Association and the Sauvie Island Center, among others. Les Watters, curator for the Columbia County Museum, will be displaying photos that will educate onlookers about shipbuilding that occurred on the north part of Sauvie Island in Columbia County during World War II. “I’ve seen some of the pictures and they’re just terrific. And you know, it doesn’t take too many decades and generations for people to

forget that there was all that infrastructure down there,” Jones said. Watters said the pictures displayed will range from the years 1916 through 1920 and will feature ships that the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, owned by the McCormick family, built during that time period. According to Watters, ships were often used for the lumber trade, and would often carry both lumber and passengers from Portland to San Francisco on a regular route. One of the ships that will be displayed in a photo will be the Wapama, a ship that was featured for many years in the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. The booth will be stationed near the rear entrance of the Bybee-Howell House, an old house built right before Oregon was granted statehood in 1859 that will be open for groups

Officials are stepping up efforts to stop illegal trips alongside roads adjacent to the Cornelius Pass Improvement Project. Illegal trips by large trucks using side roads in the West Hills has been a problem since Cornelius Pass Road closed for repairs on July 22, according to Multnomah County Communications Officer Mike Pulllen. “Oversize trucks on the narrow steep side roads create safety problems for road users, delay traffic, and damage the roads,” Pullen writes in his weekly Cornelius Pass Improvement Update. “We appreciate the efforts of the Multnomah and Washington counties Sheriffs’ staff in

citing offenders, and reports from community members who have documented illegal truck trips.” Pullen said that starting Monday, Sept. 16. flaggers will be positioned at the intersections of NW Old Cornelius Pass Road and NW Phillips Road, and at NW Phillips Road and NW Helvetia Road on work days. The flaggers will be instructed to stop illegal trucks and direct them back to the truck detour on Highway 26. “This is a significant investment to deal with the problem of illegal trucks,” Pullen said. “ We appreciate the support from Washington County for supporting the placement of these flaggers.” Pullen also said officials recognize that the closure of NW Cornelius Pass Road is a major inconvenience for

the public and everyone is looking forward to using the newly improved road. “The project does not yet have a confirmed date for reopening the road, but a reopening in October is expected,” he said. “We are working with the contractor to expedite the remaining work items as quickly as possible” Pullen said updates on the pass improvement work schedule will be issued in the coming weeks Recent Construction NW 8th Ave. Removal of the old culvert under NW Cornelius Pass Road was rescheduled for next week. The contractor will install sections of the new culvert starting next

week. Paving the realigned road will occur after the culvert is replaced. S Curves Electrical conduit for the new flashing beacons that will alert drivers before entering the S curves has been installed. Removal of the rock slope should continue next week. Signs Installation of permanent safety signs is now scheduled to begin next week. Guardrail The contractor is coordinating with a utility company for guardrail installation, where underground utility lines are present.

Skyline Elementary School Law enforcement staff report that speeding has been a problem near Skyline Elementary School on NW Skyline Blvd. The school is on the project’s main detour route. Officials are urging drivers to observe the school speed zone limit to ensure the safety of students, school staff and visitors. The school is busier than usual, since it is serving as a bus stop for middle and high school students during the road closure. During the improvement project, the pass is closed to through traffic between Highway 30 and Germantown Road in Washington County. This will detour about 13,000 vehicle trips each weekday onto other roads. The closure will allow

contractor Wildish Standard Paving to construct safety improvements on Multnomah County’s five-mile section of the road. This steep, winding and narrow section of NW Cornelius Pass Road has a long history of crashes. The project will reduce some of the rural road’s sharp curves, increase sight distance for drivers, improve road shoulders, and install caution signs, guardrails and barriers.

CCSO announces round two of Hometown Heroes JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

Structure fire on Tide Creek Road in Rainier On Sunday, September 15, 2019, at 7:54 p.m. Columbia River Fire and Rescue (CRFR) responded to a structure fire in the 30100 block of Tide Creek Road in Rainier. There were multiple 911 calls reporting the fire. The single occupant was home at the time of the fire and was able to get out unharmed. The cause of the fire is suspected arson;

however, the specifics of the fire are under investigation. The home was a total loss and the estimated damage is unknown at this time. CRFR had to go to Trojan to fill their water tender as there were no usable fire hydrants or other water sources nearby. At the same time of the structure fire, firefighters also had a brush fire to contend with as a result of an illegal burn which

to tour for the first time in 25 years. Because the event is meant to be family-friendly, there will also be plenty of activities for kids to do. Some of those activities include corn husk doll-making, scientific games in the island’s forest, a scavenger hunt and a salsa bar activity where children will make salsa from local ingredients. In addition to the BybeeHowell House, groups will be able to tour wetlands in the area. Overall, the event will particularly focus on conservation. According to Magyar, 34 exhibitors will be coming to the event, some of them nonprofits that the WMSWCD works directly with, and others that are local organizations. Jones also stressed that he wanted residents of Columbia County to attend the event, partly because one-third of Sauvie Island is inside of Columbia County. “The island is a very special place for a lot of people in the broader region, including Portland, but especially towns along the Multnomah Channel where people have long gone to Sauvie Island and still go for everything from bike riding to being on the Columbia [River] with the beaches to duck hunting and wildlife viewing. It’s a beautiful jewel, in Oregon’s landscape,” Jones said. “There’s a long, interconnected relationship and history between St. Helens, Scappoose, Warren and Sauvie Island.”

also took resources away from the structure fire. CRFR responded with, two Chief Officers, 12 firefighters (career and volunteer), one Public Information Officer, two fire engines, three water tenders, and one medic. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office also responded, along with Columbia River PUD and the Oregon State Police.

It’s time for round two of Hometown Heroes in Columbia County, spearheaded by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), who recently made the announcement on their Facebook page seeking help in identifying local residents who are currently serving in the military and who are stationed overseas. “I think it went really well last time,” CCSO Captain Tony Weaver said. “We got hundreds of pounds of donations in different food items we asked for – socks, baby wipes, books, everything from gum to jerky to candy – it was an amazing show of support from the community for our five local heroes we did this for in round one.” The hope, the CCSO said, is to surprise these

heroes, along with the rest of his or her unit, with some personalized care packages. Round two will be a bit different, however. In this round, the CCSO will also be collecting donations for our local National Guard Unit, who will have 99 soldiers deploying overseas later this year. “We wanted to try to do something for them, as well,” Weaver said. “They’re deploying in late October or early November.” Additionally, the CCSO will be doing a bit more fundraising for this round. Weaver said they weren’t quite prepared last time for the cost of shipping so many heavy boxes overseas. The sheriff’s office is also partnering with the American Heritage Girls this time. In round one, they helped package everything up for our Hometown Heroes and created handwrit-

ten notes to all the service men and women that were surprised with the packages. Weaver said sometime in the very near future, the CCSO will have a display in their lobby where donations can be dropped off. They’ll also be creating a Facebook page specifically for Hometown Heroes that will link to the CCSO page. On that page, the community will be able to locate all the pertinent information for donating, and the various items the CCSO hopes to collect for round two. “Since the post went up on Sept. 10, we’ve already received three nominations for potential heroes,” Weaver said. If anyone knows of someone currently serving overseas, please contact Captain Weaver at tony. weaver@columbiacountyor. gov or by phone at 503366-4638.

At the Master Gardener Demonstration Garden at the Columbia County Fairgrounds, a facility and program run by the Oregon State University (OSU) Columbia County Extension Service, Dennis Snyder, who goes by Denny, frequently plants and harvests crops. On a recent Monday morning, he took out a big batch of sweet potatoes that he had recently harvested. With the exception of one that looked like it had been attacked by a vole, the rest of them will be donated to the Columbia Pacific Food Bank (CPFB), like a lot of the crops that Denny and his wife, Linda grow. A Master Gardener since 2003, Denny has been growing and donating food back to the community for a long time. Now retired, both Denny and Linda, who became a Master Gardener this spring after taking the course, spend a lot of time maintaining the Demonstration Garden, teaching gardening workshops in the community and growing and donating food to CPFB from their own two-acre farmstead which they maintain at their home in Warren. According to Sonia Reagan, who manages business operations at the OSU Extension Service, from 2003 to 2018, Denny logged over 2,635 volunteer hours with the Master Gardener program. He also donated over 11,000 thousand pounds of produce to CPFB from 2010 to 2018. Reagan said Denny also averages about 150 volunteer hours a year with the Master Gardener program. The Demonstration Garden aims to educate the public about gardening techniques, design, new plant varieties and other topics in gardening. Walking around the plot of land, Denny pointed out the many different varieties of plants growing, some of which will soon

be ready for harvest. These included grapes growing in bunches on the vine, pumpkins, cabbage, tomatoes, strawberries, sweet potatoes, peppers and onions. Denny said he finds the work of training master gardeners rewarding. “It’s just very satisfying to know that you passed on the knowledge and stuff so somebody else is able to do some of the things that you enjoy,” Denny said. In addition to teaching classes through the OSU Extension program and donating crops to the food bank, Denny is working to preserve lost apple tree varieties by visiting old orchards and grafting and propagating seedlings. Denny, who was raised on a farm, was always inspired to grow his own garden when he retired. He has done just that, volunteering hundreds of hours each year at the Demonstration Garden, as well as making his own twoacre garden with his wife at their home. “I grew up on a farm and my goal was to retire early enough that I could get some property and raise a garden,” he said. “I’ve always had a garden, but now I can have one as big as I want it and sometimes bigger than I wanted.” The garden and fruit trees that Denny and Linda work on at their home are even more impressive. Walking through it, one can quickly forget that this is a backyard and not another traditional farm in Columbia County. One item that Linda pointed out was a ginormous, overripe tomato dangling from a vine. Peering through the vines, one can also see bulging orange pumpkins, green vines looping into the ground. Beyond those sit similarly ginormous white squash. Aside from plants that grow in the ground, there are many other types of fruit in this backyard that grow on vines or in trees. Those

include the sunflowers that loom over the garden, each tilted toward the sun and hundreds of different types of apples, including a rose apple, which is pink when cut into. “They’re really good for fruit salads because they don’t turn brown,” Denny said. “Even if I took a piece of that and left it on the counter overnight, it still looks just like that.” The other products that yield from this garden are almost too numerous to mention. Denny said there are about 50 different products, including onions, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, cane berries, melons, persimmons, paw paws, pears and many others. Denny said he does not have a favorite crop to produce, but did say that one of the most rewarding aspects is picking right from the garden to make one of his favorite sandwiches. “One of the joys is a good bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich with the fresh tomato out of the garden. You can’t buy it in a store. You cannot do that,” Denny said. Denny’s and Linda’s enormous garden serves as a classroom for students in the OSU Extension Service’s Master Gardeners program, where they often provide hands-on pruning demonstrations for classes that average about 25 trainees. With the ample yield from their apple trees, Denny and Linda also invite friends and acquaintances over for making apple cider in the fall every year. Reagan said she was impressed by both Denny and Linda since the day she met them. She said Denny often stops by the OSU Extension Service office and gives the staff their pick before donating the rest to CPFB. “He’s been doing it for a long time, and it’s a magically generous thing he does a couple times a week,” Reagan said. “He’s donating most of that produce, making a big impact.”

By the end of 2018, Columbia County was reported to have the second highest rate of suicide per capita in the State of Oregon. Nationally, suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. However, many believe suicide can be prevented. In an effort to raise awareness around the fight for suicide prevention locally, volunteers from across Columbia County will join the quarter of a million people who will walk in towns across the United States in the annual Columbia County Out of the Darkness community walk. The walk, hosted by the Scappoose Police Department (SPD), will take place from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 21 at Heritage Park in Scappoose. The walk supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s education and support programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual national suicide rate by 20 percent by the year 2025. Check-in and registration time is scheduled for 7:30 a.m., with the walk to begin at 9:00 a.m. “Suicide touches one in five American families. We hope

that by walking we will draw attention to this issue and keep other families from experiencing a suicide loss. Our ultimate goal is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide,” event organizers said via press release. The Columbia County Out of Darkness community walk is one of more than 550 Out of the Darkness overnight, community, and campus walks scheduled across the country this year. Officials said the walks are expected to unite more than 300,000 walkers and raise millions of dollars for suicide prevention efforts. Last year, the walks raised over $21 million for the cause, with Columbia County’s walk raising over $12,000 of that total from 165 walkers and 23 teams. Speakers at this year’s local walk will include SPD Chief Norm Miller, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) representative Angela Perry, Columbia Funeral Home manager Holly Houston, Columbia Community Mental Health’s Crisis Intervention Coordinator Brianne Mares, and co-chair Karen Blades. “These walks are about turning hope into action,” AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia said. “The research has shown

us how to fight suicide, and if we keep up the fight, the science is only going to get better and our culture will get smarter about mental health. With the efforts of our courageous volunteers, and a real investment from our nation’s leaders, we hope to significantly reduce the suicide rate in the United States.” Local sponsors for the Scappoose Out of the Darkness event include: Matt McHugh of Cascadia Home Loans, John L. Scott Real Estate, Guild MTG, Columbia Funeral Home, Berkshire Hathaway Real Estate – Scappoose Branch, Lea Chitwood of ReMax Power Pro’s, Healthy Smiles of Scappoose, Northwest Plumbing Services, Columbia NW Heating Inc., Sommers Financial, Columbia Pacific CCO, Columbia Community Mental Health, and Ticor Title. Blades, who will speak at the walk, said she began participating because her husband attempted suicide twice in 2017, and that same year, a dear friend of hers lost her son. “I participate to help others that are struggling, other families of people who have attempted or who have completed,” Blades said. “It’s helped me find support in our community.”

Voices of the Community On Green New Deal Joseph Goebbels said “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” Evidently this seems to be what the Republican Party is doing with the “Green New Deal.” Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott criticized the Green New Deal in a Feb 25th Orlando Sentinel Op-ed. He implied that the Green New Deal would have us tear down buildings, eliminate oil and gas, stop air travel, end consumption of meat and cost us trillions in the process. Very little of what he said was true and the Green New Deal resolution did not even address air travel, cow farts or veganism. We are all seeing the effects of climate change, severe super storms, changes in ocean currents, melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and increased plant and animal extinctions.

the lonely night. There are times when I literally stop breathing, only realizing it the moment I expel a deep breath, my lungs in a state of paralysis until human survival takes over. I wonder if that is what it was like for Sarah. The only difference being that for some reason, she never took in that life sustaining breath. Only the exhale…then nothing. “What were her last moments? Was she alone? Scared? Or was she held, compassionately. Was it quick? Or did it take time for that final exhale? “Someone knows the answers to these questions. Please. From the depths of my heart, I forgive you. I just need to know the truth.

The dirty fuel industry has known about climate change since the 1970’s. They have paid huge amounts of money to politicians to ignore and deny what might be the biggest threat to humanity since the creation of our species. The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) says we have 12 years left to limit the most catastrophic effects of climate change. According to Politifact (A St. Petersburg Fl. Non profit) The Green New Deal resolution makes no mention of ending air travel. Instead, it calls for “overhauling transportation systems,” creating new infrastructure which include “investments in high speed rail.” The drafters of the Green New Deal would like to see investments in infrastructure and communities by both private industry and government. Instead of costing us trillions, these investments have the potential to create thousands of new jobs that will bolster our economy.

Please don’t believe the big lie. Climate change is real and The Green New Deal, may save America, our jobs and may even manage to insure the future of our species.

“Sarah’s family is pleading with you to come forward and tell us what happened. The outpouring of support we received over those first few months was a true testimony of the grief all of you share with us. I am certain that this grief reaches out, even to the one or more who knows the truth.

In response to “Special interests” Regarding Bill Eagle’s call for Columbia County Port officials to recuse themselves from any vote, past or future, based on receiving money from “special interests” who are affected by their vote: Well, OK. Let’s go with that idea for a minute. However, in order to purify our entire body politic from any taint of “special interest” money, not just politicians Eagle disagrees with, Mr Eagle needs to contact Salem. He would need to propose a law to stop this practice. He then needs to convince the Democrat led legislature to pass that Bill. Then he needs to convince Democrat Kate Brown to sign that Law. Oh. Wait. There’s a problem. According to OpenTheBooks.com (and printed in Forbes), Democrat “Kate Brown reaped

$2.6 Million in campaign cash from 557 state vendors who pocketed $4.4 Billion”. The article lists the specific Millions received from Brown and the amounts the 16 specific examples, (of the 557), donated back to her. Hmmmm, could be a problem. But lets not stop with the small fry. Let’s go after the really big “special interest” money. Mr. Eagle must convince a Democrat controlled legislature and a Democrat governor to stop the free-flow of public employee money, Union money and Planned Parenthood money into their re-election campaigns. Because stopping folks who profit from giving money to politicians who profit from receiving money must end. ....Well, you can see the likelihood of that law’s survival.

Free PCC Adult Basic Education Class coming to Columbia County this fall This fall, Columbia County residents will have the opportunity to get a jumpstart on their college education and workforce training goals. Portland Community College’s Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program will offer a Reading/Writing class on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6-9 p.m., beginning Sept. 23 at the St. Helens WorkSource location (500 N. Highway 30, Suite 320). Classes are free of charge.

The classes are part of an effort to align pre-college educational opportunities with the advanced manufacturing initiative taking form in Columbia County, which is the result of partnerships between industry, the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center (OMIC) initiative, higher education institutions, and government entities. ABE courses help students build basic reading, writing, and math skills to enhance their preparation

for college-level credit coursework. The classes also assist students with passing the GED exam. Dawn Hagopian, an instructor of ABE at PCC and tutor at St. Helens High School’s Advancement Via Individual Determination Program (AVID), will teach the fall class.

Museum President Kay Heflin presents the history about Simon Benson and O.J. Evenson’s cigar rafts that were built near Clatskanie between 1906 and 1941. During this period, 120 cigar rafts were built and towed to San Diego.

The Rainier Oregon Historical Museum recently presented the film “God’s Country and the Woman” which showcased the Benson Cigar rafts, and President Kay Heflin said they had to bring in more chairs from the church across the street for the second showing to accommodate the audience. “Our museum’s goal was to show our local logging history,” Heflin said. “The first showing of the movie was standing room only. It was amazing to see the scenes taken at the Clark and Wilson Mill at Prescott in 1937.” Heflin said the company office that was shown in several scenes of the movie is a home in Prescott today. The owner of the home and former mill office was in attendance on Saturday, and the movie was paused during the second showCourtesy photo ing so he could take photos A father watches his son operate a log grapple and loading logs onto of what would become his a log truck. future home.

A Rite of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 20, 2019 with Rosary at 10:30 a.m. at St. Frederic Catholic Church in St. Helens, Oregon for Florence Catherine (Arnold) Sherlock, with a luncheon to follow. She passed peacefully on September 12, 2019 at Spring Meadows Assisted Living, where she had resided for 9 ½ years. She celebrated her 100th birthday party on April 27, 2019. Florence was born in Wamego, Kansas on April 30, 1919 to Louis and Magdalena Arnold. She was the ninth born of 11 children. She graduated from Consolidated Rural High School in Wamego, Kansas in 1937 and for four years was a clerk at Duckwall’s Hometown Variety store. She then worked at J.C. Penny’s Co. in Manhattan, Kansas. She and the Sherlock Family moved to St. Helens, Oregon in 1943. Florence married Leander Raymond Sherlock on May 1, 1943 in St. Helens. Florence was a homemaker until they purchased Sherlock’s Grocery

where she worked until they sold and retired in 1977. Florence’s Catholic faith was important to her. She was involved in many St. Frederic’s activities including church dinners, bazaars, Catholic Daughters of America, and school functions as all four children attended Catholic School. She volunteered whenever asked. Florence was a seamstress, cook, knitter, crocheter, gardener, dancer and music lover. She volunteered making meals on wheels and picking up bread at Safeway for the Senior Center.

Spain and took a cruise to Alaska. She did well taking video’s, with her then five pound video camera but continued to cut off people’s heads with her 35mm still camera. She knew this problem existed, so she took three still photo’s each time to compensate. She used lots of film. Mom then moved into the Beaverton house, she used as a rental, since the early 1970’s. Renovations began. The interior and exterior got new paint, the ceiling’s were textured, and new landscaping, which included a dry creek bed. She had always wanted white tile

counters and wall to wall white carpet, in every room. She made it happen. We all had to remove our shoes when we visited. Then she used her great passion for baking to fill her time. Tualatin Valley Fire Department #64 were her most ardent consumers. On a weekly basis. She also took goodies to her hairdresser’s clients. A group of retirees, in the early 2000’s, started having monthly home luncheons that she greatly enjoyed. We traveled to Tigard, McMinnville and Gales Creek for the five-hour feasts. Mom lived a busy full life. We are honored that she was so well loved and appreciated by so many that knew her. She is survived by her daughters Barbra and Shari Harrington of Beaverton; and her sister Jeri Johnson of St. Helens. Mom did not want a funeral or a memorial.
