Update: Official shooting information still scarce JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

Information is still scarce surrounding a shooting that reportedly began at the St. Helens Chevron early Wednesday, Oct. 9, which ultimately led to the death of the suspect due to law enforcement’s use of deadly force.

St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) officers responded to a report of a shooting at approximately 5:26 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the St. Helens Chevron located at 115 N. Columbia River Highway.

According to the Oregon State Police (OSP), the lead investigating agency on the case, the officers located the vehicle suspected of being involved in the shooting, and when they attempted to contact the driver, it fled down Highway 30 towards Deer Island.

Officers pursued until the suspect’s vehicle became disabled near milepost 35, where the suspect attempted to flee on foot. It was then the SHPD officer used deadly force, resulting in the suspect’s death.

The deceased suspect was later identified as Michael Thomas Veatch, 32, of Washington. Veatch made the news in early April when he was picked up by law enforcement following the fatal shooting of Cowlitz County Deputy Justin DeRosier. Veatch’s brother, Matthew Veatch, was facing charges of first-degree rendering criminal assistance. However, police said at the time that Michael Veatch was arrested on a warrant unreleated to the investigation. Officials did not reveal what role, if any, the Veatch brothers played in DeRosier’s death.

Veatch was confirmed deceased at the scene and the ensuing investigation caused the prolonged closure of a portion of Highway 30 between milepost 35 and 36 for approximately a mile around the area.

It remained closed until around 6 p.m.

As is policy, the SHPD officer involved in the fatality has been placed on administrative leave.

OSP said detectives are investigating the report of shots being fired from the suspect vehicle prior to, and during the pursuit.

“This was a very dynamic situation with several incident scenes, numerous witnesses, and a large volume of evidence,” OSP said via press release. “In an effort to maintain the integrity of the investigation, information is being withheld until OSP can ensure that witnesses have been interviewed, next of kin notification made and outstanding victims identified and questioned.”

While multiple news outlets have reported various details surrounding the incident, none of those details have been officially confirmed by law enforcement.

When asked how the shooting incident began, whether it was considered a robbery or an active shooter, if further injuries were reported, or how, exactly, Veatch was killed, OSP said they would not be releasing further information at this time.

Anyone with any additional information related to the incident is asked to please call the OSP at 503-375-3555 or 1-800-442-0776.

The Chronicle will update this story as new information becomes available.

Local troops from the St. Helens based Bravo Company 741 Brigade Engineer Battalion of Oregon Army National Guard, along with their friends, families and other loved ones, attended a farewell cer-

emony at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 13 in the gymnasium at St. Helens High School (SHHS). The troops will be deployed to the Middle East this fall.

At the ceremony were dignitaries Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and State Sen. Betsy Johnson. U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley was not able to attend but wrote a letter that was read out during the ceremony.

Others in attendance were Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion Auxiliary, Elks Lodge, Elks Veteran Bunk, American Heritage Girls, Daughters of the American Revolution, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, law enforcement and first responders.

During her speech, Gov. Brown thanked both the troops and their military families.

“Please know that we are extremely grateful for your service,” Brown said.

Mike Seely, owner and operator of Seely Mint in Clatskanie, stands with his milkshake in front of Burgerville, which recently released a new Seely Mint product.

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

Columbia County residents who have ever bought Seely’s Dark Chocolate Mint Patties may not have known they were purchasing a locally-made product. The item comes from Seely Farm in Clatskanie, which devotes 450 of its 650 acres to growing heirloom Black Mitcham Peppermint and Native Spearmint, which they then break down to form tea leaf and essential oil. The site also includes a facility to make its chocolate products and other products on the same land.

The entire operation is facilitated

by Clatskanie resident Mike Seely, and the sweet treats, coated in dark chocolate and filled with a creamy

mint filling, are part of a new deal.

On Wednesday, Oct. 9, Burgerville, a local fast-food chain, announced the release of six new milkshakes, all made with hyperlocal ingredients. The menu debuted on Oct. 10, and features Classic Chocolate, Sweet Cream, Oregon Strawberry, Portland Cold Brew, Hazelnut Chocolate and Seely’s Mint Patty milk shake. The shake will be available at all 41 Burgerville stores year-round for the rest of the time that Burgerville is around, Seely said.

“I can’t divulge how many of them they expect to sell, but I looked at the number and I went, ‘Oh my gosh,’” Seely said.

The opportunity came about when Jamie Powell, vice president of product development at Burgerville, who had worked with Seely Mint during

her former position in management at New Seasons reached out to Seely this past spring and asked him if he had any thoughts on some new flavors. Because Burgerville’s mission is to go with local products and clean ingredients, they thought Seely’s mint products would be a good contributor.

From that point, Seely shipped the company a bunch of samples and worked with Powell and her Burgerville team to develop the finished product.

“We threw out a couple of different ideas and they came back with, ‘we really like a peppermint patty milkshake,” Seely said. “They’ve been really easy to work with.”

Richardson’s celebrates 60 years

Christine Menges/The Chronicle

Annie Davis and Joe Davis, co-owners, stand outside their furniture store on Columbia Boulevard.

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

Annie Davis and her husband, Joe Davis, are celebrating 60 years of Richardson’s.

The furniture store and mattress gallery, unique to St. Helens, began in 1959, and the couple uses the month of October to mark the anniversary of Annie’s grandfather founding the business. To celebrate, the couple is giving the community a gift – of every single item in their store being on sale for the month of October.

And not only are they still in business – they are keeping it in the family. The husband and wife team took over from Annie’s parents, Chris and Eileen Kirby, who had taken the business over from their parents, Lowell and Martha Richardson, the business founders. Annie’s father officially retired only last year.

Lowell Richardson started the business in 1959 when his daughter needed some upholstery work done on her

SHAKE From Page A1

The milkshake will be made with Burgerville’s ice cream, which is sourced from a high-end retailer, Seely’s peppermint oil and crushed up Seely’s mint patties. During the milkshake-crafting brainstorming process, Burgerville did not try to change the recipe of the mint patties.

The other milk shakes have ingredients coming from local retailers and farms like Holy Kakow, Alpenrose Dairy, Liepold Farms, Portland Roasting and Ground Up PDX. Seely said his farm employs old fashioned tactics for growing mint. While 19 people are employed to take care of Seely’s four products, including the patties and also mint tea, bark and melts, the farm itself is strictly Seely himself along with his wife and son.

(Seely has a daughter who also works on the farm but devotes herself to cattle raising.)

The primary ingredient in the shake is the mint patty itself, which is infused with Seely’s peppermint oil.

Seely Mint has contracted with other companies in the past as well. They sold a mint milkshake at the Columbia County Fair and Rodeo four or five years ago, partnering with the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association. According to Seely, the shake was a hit.

The mint patties are also sold at Bertucci’s, Fred Meyer and New Seasons. At New Seasons, the mint patties are a top 40 product in all their stores across the US and Canada. The mint farm has also formed partnerships with other ice cream companies, including Tillamook, Alpenrose, Salt and Straw, and Ruby Jewel all of which use Seely’s mint oil.

Seely said the main difference between his mint farm and other farms is that they harvest at a three to five percent bloom in order to get the optimum flavor out of the mint leaves. Not enough bloom, and the mint leaves would not be ripe for harvest, too much bloom and the mint oil would be bitter, according to Seely.

Other farms, according to Seely, sacrifice flavor in order to make a larger profit.

car. From there, it sprung into a big business with the family’s basement turned into a full-time upholstery shop.

The present location, on Columbia Boulevard, just down the street from The Chronicle, has been the location of the business since it began in earnest a few years after the car upholstery work was done. Passersby are usually taken aback when they walk in and realize how big the showroom is.

With both an upstairs and a downstairs, the shop covers 22,000 square feet of space.

A few years ago, the Davises changed their shop’s official name from “Richardson’s Furniture” to “Richardson’s Furniture and Mattress Gallery,” so that customers know that mattresses are available as well.

The expansive showroom is covered in couches, tables, lamps, picture frames and other accessories. Downstairs, they have mattresses and bedroom furniture, spanning both kids’ bed sets and adults.’

Many brands can be found “Most mint farming now has gone in the direction of competing as a commodity crop instead of producing a premium oil,” Seely said.

“Most of the peppermint in the Willamette Valley and in many other areas is harvested twice a year now. They harvest in late June and then they harvest again about the middle of September and they don’t harvest it when the plant is mature.”

Seely said while the farm uses some technology to keep track of irrigation and other matters, they don’t sacrifice quality for quantity.

“I can give you a sample of our peppermint oil and you’ll see the difference,” Seely said.

in the showroom, with the Davises estimating somewhere between 25 to 30. They try to keep the brands local.

“We carry at least three made in Oregon lines that we’re pretty proud of,” Joe said. “We carry Stanton industries, Northwest furniture and Englander that are all made locally in Oregon.”

The company also plans to bring in Portland-based company Biltwell Furniture in the near future.

The past 60 years have not always been smooth sailing.

Richardson’s has faced a few economic downturns, with its most severe one having been ten years ago during the Great Recession. However, Joe said the business survived the last one without laying off a single employee.

And while the Davises agree that the economy seems to be doing well so far, they say they are always prepared for another struggling economy. They say it all has to do with customer service.

“Just by keeping our customers happy now, so that

when they are in need of new furniture, or a new mattress, they keep thinking of us and coming back to us, I think that helps to keep the return customers coming back,” Joe said.

During the month-long sale, all items except for the brands Tempurpedic and Stressless will be on sale, and the store will have drawings all month long to win $60 gift certificates every Friday.

On Oct. 31, the store will be giving out a recliner, a sofa and a queen-size mattress set, and anyone can enter the drawing, without having to make a purchase.

While Annie and Joe cannot predict how many sales they expect to make, they said October is usually a busy month for them, even though this year has been slower than last year.

“I think we’ll ramp up when we get more of these houses and apartments, St. Helens is definitely growing, so hopefully next year is going to be even bigger,” Joe said.

Richardson’s has been around for longer than half a century, and plans to be around for 60 more years, Annie said. Future plans include opening a separate mattress store at some point.

Annie said customers often don’t know about the large selection of mattresses – the store carries about 50 different kinds, she said. That was part of the reason behind the name change, to make customers aware that the store sells more mattresses than even some mattress stores.

Regardless of future changes, Annie and Joe both like to look back on the past with pride.

“We have customers who are children of customers, of my grandparents or people who started with working with my parents 40 years ago and their kids are coming in,” Annie said. “Our success is based on the fact that the community, all of Columbia County, they really support us and support local businesses.”

The Port of Columbia County held a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, Oct. 7 for a new hangar and office building at the Scappoose Industrial Airpark. The building will be built-to-suit for Devinaire LLC, and will be used as an administrative, operations and maintenance facility. The company provides private jet charter services from Portland to Seattle and other destinations in the Pacific Northwest, as well as aircraft maintenance and storage services.

The project plans call for 27,000 square feet of clear-span hangar space with complete utilities and fire protection and 4,500 square feet of office area. The project was initially stalled due to expensive state fire safety regulations for the construction of airplane hangars. The port has worked closely with the local and State Fire Marshal’s offices, State Building Codes Division, the City of Scappoose, and other key stakeholders over the last

year to implement a suitable and affordable solution for this project, possibly making it a model for new airport projects statewide.

“This has been a really long process, but one that needed to happen due to the complexity of the project,” said Devinaire’s owner Aaron Soule. “We’ve had many bumps in the road to get here, but we have had a great experience working with the Port of Columbia County. They’ve shown they are very pro-business, so we’re excited about that.”

Construction of the $3.25 million building is partly being financed by a $2.5 million loan from Business Oregon, with that total cost repaid by Devinaire through monthly lease payments to the port. When the building is complete, Devinaire will move its current operations from Hillsboro to the Scappoose Industrial Airpark, employing up to 20 people.

Port Commissioner Larry Ericksen said this is a testa-

ment to what can happen when different leaders in the community come together.

“This is going to bring good jobs and a good tax base, and I’m really glad that the port is in a position to be able to do it.”

“Today is a significant groundbreaking because it welcomes another aviation company to the Scappoose airport,” said State Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose. “We believe that this is going to be the first in a series of groundbreakings as OMIC and the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation District takes off. Today is just one more step in an almost 40-year vision for the potential of this airport and we’re glad to have Devinaire in the neighborhood and look forward to a long and productive business relationship.”

Contractor JH Kelly was awarded the contract for the construction of the building, which is expected to be complete by May of 2020.

Petition to Recall Gov. Kate Brown fails At approximately 2 p.m. on Oct. 14, Michael Cross, Chief Sponsor of the “Flush Down Kate Brown” petition to recall Governor Brown delivered 9 boxes of petitions, together with a Petition Submission form SEL 339, attesting to a “Completed Petition Submission” “estimating 290,000” signatures. The boxes were im-

mediately transferred under lock to the Secure Election Division facility where staff counted all of the signature sheets submitted.

The total number of sheets submitted was 23,926. Since each sheet cannot contain more than 10 signatures, the submission fell short of the 280,050 signatures necessary to trigger

a recall vote. No individual signature validation was necessary.

No submission was received from the Oregon Republican Party.

Since the deadline for submission of signatures for both recall petitions was 5 p.m. on Oct. 14, no further action will be taken on these petitions.

Voices of the Community Open letter to the community of St. Helens I was recently working during the Halloweentown Parade. There was a group at forefront very appropriately dressed, in black capes and masks. The only thing that singled them out were the signs they carried. The stated facts concerning the safety and efficacy of vaccines. The signs also alluded to the controversial fact that there are aborted fetal cells in vaccines.

The group was polite, respectful and informative. They even had factual pamphlets backing up the evidence stated by their signs. Not once, despite mixed response of cheers and animosity, did they react or lash out. Even when being flipped off and being told, “I hope your babies die.”

I would also like to note here that one marcher was, by all appearances, pregnant.

While I do understand people not wanting politics in parades, I would like to point out that many past parades have been used as an advertising venue for businesses and politicians. From my understanding, this group was completely within the

legal guidelines stated by the parade upon entry. Another thought is that with all of the things happening in this country concerning the blatant infringements on our freedoms, be it gay rights, gun rights, over taxation, or medical freedom, drastic measures are sometimes called for.

If you don’t know what I mean when I refer to medical freedom, let me explain.

In several states in this “free” country, there are bills being passed, despite objections by the people, with the intent to mandate the full CDC schedule of vaccines.

The current schedule is 69 doses of various vaccines in early childhood. I don’t know about you, but that seems extremely excessive.

The really dark side of these bills are the fact that they deny any exemptions based on personal or religious grounds. When last I checked we were supposed to live in a free country that encouraged diversity of every kind. When vaccines are being forced on the populace by our representatives over the directives imbedded in our constitution, people feel the need to do desperate things to keep the general populace informed.

Already in New York children are being pulled out of school

and held in separate rooms for failing to comply with these vaccine mandates. This is segregation and discrimination.

So, what’s more important? The fact that you were mildly pushed out of your comfort zone and forced to think about wrongs that are being done? Or the fact that parents’ freedom to choose for their children are being stripped away by a greedy government, who is backed by the same pharmaceutical company who makes vaccines? I myself do not trust the vaccine industry and have personal, medical, and religious reasons for not wanting to vaccinate. Since the parade I have been told, “I hope your children die and you go to jail,” and, “your children should be forced to wear armbands and be pulled out of school.” To me, the women in the parade did something incredibly brave in the face of animosity. They used their freedom and intelligence without being hateful.

Maybe the people of St. Helens should take a page out of that book. Also, I want to point out that they are being taunted for “hiding their faces and wearing masks” and that “they don’t even know who Guy Fawkes is.” I thought people were supposed to

dress up for Halloween….the masks make sense yet? Very few in that parade were wearing their everyday face, free of makeup or mask.

I think Guy Fawkes was chosen because they knew exactly who he was. He was not just a man who failed in his attempt for liberty, he was someone who fought and died for it. Which is exactly how far these men and women are willing to go.

Columbia City Community Library now open With our lovely new fence, sidewalk, and landscaping, the Columbia City Community Library is now able to be open when school is in session. Kit Gardes managed the project. We will be changing our open hours on Mondays and Tuesdays, to 10 to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays will stay 3 to 6 p.m., and Saturday remains 10:00 to 2:00. Our new hours begin October 1, 2019.

The Columbia City Celebration is the major fundraiser for the Columbia City Community Library.

Saturday September 14 was a nice day and we were busy all day. We had a lot of help, and managers of the events did a great job. So, thank you to everyone who helped, everyone who attended, and everyone who spent money to help support our library.

We couldn’t do it without the support of our community.

Vaccine marchers deserve respect Dressed in Anonymous costumes, a small group silently marched in the St. Helens Halloween Town Parade with signs and flyers.

The crowd greeted them with a mix of gratitude and indecency. The following days, they were taunted with hate speech on Facebook. I am appalled with the citizens of Columbia County, many being Christian, as wished harm to other human beings.

Seems that we are only worried about a handful of ill-

nesses that vaccines have been created for. Have we have forgotten about the hundreds of other viruses and bacteria that can cause just as much damage, and what protects us from those? Why aren’t we concerned about 54% of our youth having chronic childhood illnesses, and where it is coming from? Are autoimmune disorders, peanut allergies, autism, and toddlers with cancer so common that we just accept it? Where was chronic childhood illness 70 years ago? Could the decline of disease and illness have been related to our improved sanitation, refrigeration, nutrition, hygiene and use of IV fluids when needed? Should we continue to put products into our children from liability free manufacturers who make $50 billion on vaccines alone?

Would we purchase other ‘safety products’ such as car seats knowing the manufacturer wouldn’t be liable for damage to our child? Many people simply aren’t aware of these things. The way I see it, the vaccine marchers are fighting for everyone’s child, whether you want to join the fight or not. At the very least, they brought awareness.

InRoads Credit Union employees stand with bikes they built during their staff training day on Oct. 14

Always eager to support the community, InRoads Credit Union employees spent part of their Columbus Day holiday building bicycles for CASA for Children in Columbia County.

The employees assembled 20 bicycles, ranging from small toddler-sized bikes to big-kid models.

Part of the credit union’s annual all-staff training day is reserved for a communi-

ty-related project, such as bicycle building for CASA for Children in Columbia County.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to bring smiles to the faces of children all over the community,” stated Brooke Van Vleet, President and CEO of InRoads Credit Union. “Every year, InRoads employees look forward to Columbus Day and this annual community-

focused event.”

Kiwanis Daybreakers free annual children’s fair A goblin gathering on Oct. 26, at St. Helens High School commons, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. At the stroke of 10 in the morning, all children (and their families) are invited to gather at the high school in St. Helens for the Annual Kiwanis Daybreakers Children’s Fair. Plans have been forming ever since last year’s event. Come and join us while the little goblins have fun at booths from many different community groups and the older goblins learn about all the various services and activities that are available right in our own home town.

Have your family picture taken at our themed photo location just outside the entrance. And at the other entrance, gaze at the creepy, crawly reptiles (in enclosures). Have your little ones’ get ID kits for those unforeseen emergencies.

Learn about personal safety, dental hygiene, the Columbia Food Bank, Columbia County Mental Health, the newly organized Parks and Recreation. Plus, watch

activities that provide physical exercise for good health such as Taekwondo, Dance, tumbling. And more.

We will even have Jose, the clown, returning with his balloon creations. New this year will be a performance by the River City Children’s Choir and the St. Helens Robotics Team and their new competition robot. Vault elite and Elements/Opus Dance will also be there.

We encourage everyone to come in costume, even the adults. Meet new people who live in our community. We are now seeing some adults who attended as children and are now introducing their children to this fantastic activity.

Once again, there will be food available at a reasonable price from Sunshine Pizza.

Not everything is inside.

Some activities will be outdoors, so dress warmly.

We never know what Mother Nature might bring in her bag of tricks. We hope to have the Halloweentown shuttle bringing visitors from

Halloweentown up to the high school. And the Hayride will be available as well.

After the Children’s Fair, be sure to head down to the Little Spooks Parade in Old Town to finish off an exciting day.

Just so you know, this would not be possible without the help of local businesses and organizations.

Their annual participation is vital to the success of the Children’s Fair, so be sure to thank them when you shop locally. They include: Don’s Rental, 2C’s Vendor’s Mall with their Round-Up for the Children’s Fair, Dutch Bros., Columbia River PUD, Market Fresh Grocery Pumpkins, Means Nursery – Fall Flowers, Jerry’s Small Farm – Oversized pumpkins, Calaway Trading – Hay, Rite Aid – Posters, Dollar Tree – Halloween signs, those businesses who post the Fair on their Reader Boards, and The Village Inn for displaying our large banner, and our local newspapers as well.

New pastor comes to Bethany Lutheran Church

Christine Menges/The Chronicle

New pastor, Ingrid Aderhold, stands by the altar of her new church.

This past Sunday, Bethany Lutheran Church, located at 34721 Church Road in Warren welcomed a new pastor.

Pastor Ingrid Aderhold met her new congregation on Oct. 13. However, she will be officially instated on Oct. 27, a date that Aderhold and Nancy Conner, Bethany Lutheran Church Council President, see as providential.

The day is Reformation Day for Lutherans, a day that marks the founding of the Lutheran denomination of Christianity. According to the church’s history, on Oct. 31 in 1517, the denomination’s founder, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of a Catholic Church, sparking a reform that eventually resulted in the divide between the Protestant and Catholic Churches, and the founding of the Lutheran church.

Aderhold became a pastor about 11 years ago, after having spent 20 years traveling with her husband and their two children during her husband’s career in the Air Force.

This church is Aderhold’s second call, after having spent nine years at a church in Idaho.

Bethany Lutheran’s previous pastor, Rory Scott, retired three years ago after having served for eight years. The church has been without a permanent pastor for these past three years.

According Conner, the church has relied on substitute pastors from the Evangelical Lutheran Church Association (ELCA), the denomination with which the church was affiliated until January of this year.

When the church broke off from that sect last January and became part of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC), they relied on retired pastors in the area and word

of mouth to find substitutes.

While they were without a pastor, the church only had half a dozen lay services in the entire period, according to Conner.

“We just went by the grace of God,” Conner said.

Aderhold will be preaching in a more than 100-yearold building, which was first founded in 1907, according to Conner. About 50 members make up the official congregation, but attendance averages between 20 to 25 members each Sunday, Conner said.

Welcoming a new pastor is not the only change the church has experienced.

While the church has always been Lutheran, this past January, it officially changed its affiliation within that sect.

While the church used to identify with the ELCA, church leaders felt the sect was embracing a more liberal doctrine, according to Conner, with some Lutherans not feeling comfortable with the new way of doing things.

Rather than continue to identify with ELCA doctrine, Bethany Lutheran embraced a new theology, and joined the NALC in January.

Aderhold herself, while born and raised Lutheran, has experienced what she termed different “flavors” of both Lutheranism and Protestantism.

The experiences were often brought on by following her husband all over the world.

“When my husband was stationed in Spain, I was the religious education coordinator for the Protestant chapel program,” Aderhold said. “So I got to work with anything that wasn’t Catholic, Jewish or Muslim, so I got to know a lot of the different faith beliefs and see how we interact with each other, the little nuances that we think are so important while we all worship the same God.” Aderhold said she believes it was more than chance that led her to the church.

In September, Oregon’s total nonfarm payroll employment added 200 jobs, following a loss of 900 jobs in August. Job gains have cooled recently, averaging only 100 per month over the past five months. This flat economic trend is in contrast to gains that averaged 3,000 jobs per month in all of calendar year 2018, and 4,100 jobs per month during the rapid and consistent growth Oregon experienced during the prior five-year period.

During September, some industries expanded while others contracted. Monthly gains were strongest in health care and social assistance (+2,300 jobs); wholesale trade (+1,000); and manufacturing (+400). These gains were offset by cutbacks in government ( 2,100 jobs); financial activities (-500); professional and business services (-500); and retail trade (-400).

Health care and social

assistance has grown consistently for many years.

Over the past 12 months the industry grew by 9,000 jobs, or 3.5 percent, with each of its components adding jobs rapidly as demand for health care services increased along with Oregon’s expanding and aging population. Since September 2018, ambulatory health care services added 2,900 jobs, social assistance added 2,400 jobs, nursing and residential care facilities added 1,800 jobs, and hospitals added 1,100 jobs.

Manufacturing continued to grow faster than Oregon’s overall economy over the past 12 months, with gains of 6,100 jobs, or 3.1 percent.

Nondurable goods (+4,000 jobs, or 6.5%) and transportation equipment manufacturing (+900 jobs, or 7.4%) led manufacturing’s growth.

However, construction jobs have stabilized, with little overall change in employment over the past six months.

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

“God brought me here,” she said.

This past spring, Aderhold said three different people came up to her within three months who recommended she check out a church in Warren. The people who told her about Bethany Lutheran were unconnected to each other, their circumstances completely different.

“And that’s like God waving the red flag,” Aderhold said.

Her previous church was in Pierce, Idaho, a rural mountain community. While she loved it there, Aderhold’s husband has health needs due to Parkinson’s disease, which made it difficult to stay much longer. The family was located two hours from the closest medical facility, and four hours from her husband’s specialists. Coupled with the harsh Idaho winters, where snow is measured in feet, not inches, the journey was all that much more difficult.

“So it was time to move and God just set it up to come to Warren, Oregon,” Aderhold said.

Aderhold said she hopes she can bring to Bethany Lutheran the care it needs, seeing as how the church has not had a permanent pastor in the last three years.

“I really feel it’s important to have that pastoral presence right there in the community, being part of the community, living with them, sharing their sorrows, sharing their joys and celebrating with them,” Aderhold said. “And that gets pretty lonely when you don’t have that available.”

People who attend church there can expect to be active participants. In Aderhold’s words, she does not like what she calls “pew-sitters,” or people who go to church to only numbly listen to the sermon.

“I’m going to be approaching people and saying, ‘what is going to be your part?’”

Aderhold said.

Aderhold also promised the sermons themselves would not be political, or opinionated, but will stick to scripture.

“It will not be opinions. It will not be who you should vote for. It will be the word of God coming out of the Bible,” Aderhold said.

Aderhold said she thinks her presence will have a positive impact for local people, because she believes that everyone, everywhere struggles.

“You can’t look at any particular group of people, any particular pay scale, anything like that and say, ‘that’s where all the drug problems are, that’s where the gang problems are.’” Aderhold said.

“It’s everywhere and families are suffering huge.”

“They know something’s missing, but they don’t know what it is. It’s like, ‘Well that’s that little spot where God belongs. Let me tell you about him.’” Aderhold said.

Coming soon: Veterans Memorial Plaza Dedication ceremony in McCormick Park The project to expand and improve the Veterans Memorial Plaza at McCormick Park has been completed.

To mark the occasion, there will be a Veterans Memorial Plaza Dedication at McCormick Park in St. Helens on Friday, Nov. 1 at 12 p.m. The event will last approximately half an hour and will be free and open to all Columbia County residents. Attendees should bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy in the park with other guests after the conclusion of the formal dedication. Light refreshments will also be available.

The dedication ceremony will celebrate the partnerships between the City of St. Helens, VFW Post 1440, businesses and community members who helped to expand the existing Veterans Memorial in McCormick Park to a full-sized plaza.

The expansion has enabled the hosting of larger veterans events and honors Columbia Country veterans who died during conflict or after returning home due to a war injury.

Following the formal dedication on Nov. 1, the Plaza will later be used on Monday, Nov. 11, 2019, to host an annual Veterans Day ceremony at 11 a.m. led by VFW Post 1440.

Project history The project began in April of 2017, when the City of St. Helens was awarded a $46,770 grant from the Oregon Parks & Recreation Veterans & War Memorials Grant Program to support

In her speech, Brown FREEYARD DEBRIES quoted the philosopher, G.K. Chesterton, who once said, RECYCLING SAT.,APRIL20!

“The true soldier fights not

because he hates what is in front of him. He loves what is behind him.”

Brown assured the troops that their families would be cared for by the community while they were gone.

“We look forward to being here to welcome you back home. So go out there and do us all proud,” Brown said.

Sen. Betsy Johnson talked about the importance of the National Guard.

“Over the summer, when Portland was on the edge over some civilian protests, the National Guard was put on standby,” she said. “The National Guard is on standby means something to the public. It means reassurance.”

Johnson said the soldiers came from all walks of life, which would serve them in their first deployment

the expansion of McCormick Park’s existing Veterans Memorial. The Memorial paid tribute to those servicemen who were killed in World War I, World War II, and Korea.

Since its original dedication ceremony on Nov. 11, 2010, there have been several increasingly popular countywide Veterans Day events held at the memorial. With state senators and house representatives in attendance as guest speakers, the events quickly outgrew the space available for attendees.

Through a partnership with VFW Post 1440 which contributed over $48,000 toward the current project, the memorial plaques were expanded to honor Columbia County veterans who have lost their lives in more recent conflicts.

Lower Columbia Engineering, CalPortland, Scappoose Sand and Gravel, Pacific Stainless, Senator Betsy Johnson and Brandon Sundeen from the Columbia County Museum Association also assisted with or financially contributed to the project.

The expansion project included: • Increasing the footprint of the existing memorial to provide more room for Veterans Day ceremonies and other VFW events.

• Installing a new covered area to provide additional seating options for disabled veterans during inclement weather.

• Recreating the former monuments with additional names from World War I, World War II, and Korea dis-

covered through additional research.

• Installing additional monuments to honor servicemen and servicewomen who were lost in more recent conflicts, including Vietnam and conflicts in the Middle East.

overseas.

“You are true citizen soldiers with civilian jobs. Your employers and your civilian coworkers are also part of this because they, too, share the sacrifices by using your services, skills and the jobs you are doing,” Johnson said.

The people who would especially be sacrificing, Johnson said, were the soldiers’ families.

“They will be spending

the holidays without you,” Johnson said, and then asked the audience to give a round of applause for the families.

In his letter, Sen. Jeff Merkley mentioned the troops that came before, who also sacrificed in order to protect their country.

“Your service is a continuation of sacrifice,” Merkley said. “As you deploy, know that we stand with you.”

The original memorial The VFW Post 1440 hand-built the first St. Helens Veterans Memorial, which was originally located along Highway 30 at Columbia Boulevard. It included wooden plaques with hand carved names of Columbia County war casualties from World War I, World War II, and Korea. The original wooden plaques and a 105 Howitzer Cannon were dedicated in 1958. When the Oregon Department of Transportation widened Highway 30, certain items from this memorial were moved to McCormick Park, but not the original wooden plaques.

Members of the VFW Post 1440 were very interested in finding or re-creating the lost plaques. A local engineering firm, Lower Columbia Engineering, volunteered to design and build new monuments that would be more durable replicas of the original wooden plaques.

Considerable donations and public and private in-kind contributions helped fund the project.

Similar to the original project, Lower Columbia Engineering also contributed greatly to the design and construction management for the current expansion project.

Burgerville customers pay it forward JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

While St. Helens is no stranger to “paying it forward” in local drive-through lines, a spree of kindness at the St. Helens Burgerville that lasted for more than two hours on Thursday, Oct. 11 may have set a new local record ... and it all started with an ice cream sandwich.

According to St. Helens Burgerville general manager, Leah Williams, the kindness spree began when local drive-through worker Jacob Frankie met a woman at the window who’d ordered two pumpkin spice ice cream sandwiches. She told Frankie she wanted to do something nice for the person behind her.

“I would like to pay for their meal,” she said. “Is that okay?”

Frankie said sure, but

it would cost her $22. The woman said she still wanted to pay for the meal, and added, “please tell them to have a really nice day.”

Williams said the people in the next car were blown away, and decided to pay forward the random act of kindness.

“This continued for 51 cars,” Williams said. “And each and every one of them offered words of encouragement or kindness to the car behind them.”

Those words included things like, “have a great day”, “please smile”, and “hope this makes your evening better.”

Williams said she’s seen things like this happen before, especially around the holidays, but never to such an extent. The most cars she’s personally witnessed paying it forward was an estimated 10.

“Somebody might buy a

gift card and say ‘give it to the next car’ or ‘give it to somebody who doesn’t have enough money today.’ We’re in a small town that likes to take care of each other,” Williams said.

From left to right: Michael Murdoch of Wauna Credit Union, Casey Wheeler, Director of the Columbia Pacific Food Bank, and Jason Moos of InRoads Credit Union.

To help ensure those in need throughout the local community do not go hungry, InRoads and Wauna Credit Unions teamed up to donate a total of $10,000 to the Columbia Pacific Food Bank.

The food bank is in the process of renovating the new location at 1421 Columbia Blvd. in St. Helens in partnership with the City of St. Helens through a Community Development Block Grant. The $5,000 donations from both InRoads and Wauna will help the non-profit continue its important work throughout Columbia County through the purchase of equipment once the facility is renovated.

“Colombia Pacific Food Bank is near and dear to everyone’s heart,” stated InRoads Credit Union President/CEO, Brooke Van Vleet. “As two of the community’s well-known credit unions, it was an honor to work with Wauna and make this donation happen.”

“This money will go a long way in helping those in need throughout our community,” said Robert Blumberg, Wauna Credit Union CEO. “We’re always eager to help this worthwhile cause.”

Inspired by International Credit Union Day coming up on October 17, the credit unions united for the local non-profit in an effort to raise awareness for the food bank and funds for their Capital Campaign.

the influx of tourists for the Spirit of Halloweentown celebration, Williams believed that most of the customers paying it foward that night were locals. She said a lot of regulars were spotted, and given Thursday night there

were a few local sporting events going on, she knows the locals come in before the games or directly after.

Reader Beth Peterson said in The Chronicle’s comment section that she was number 26 in the ‘pay it forward’ spree, and admitted that she teared up.

“Our community needed this more than you realize,” Peterson said. “Let’s keep it going - be kind and love your neighbors. Blessings to you all.”

Reader Sy Hendrickson said he was number 36.

“Loved being able to pass it on and keep it going.

So happy to hear it lasted 51 cars,” Hendrickson said.

“In addition to the generosity of the customers, the employees were fantastic and shared the journey of the night as we picked up our order.”

The spree lasted from 6:30 p.m. to around 9

p.m., during which time St. Helens Burgerville sold around $800 worth of food.

Williams said the most expensive meal paid for was $40, and the kindness bled over into Friday. When a Portland media outlet was on site doing a story, one of their guests heard about it, a young mother with two boys, and left money at the counter for the people who would come through after her. Those next customers paid only $3 for their meal.

Williams said Frankie came in smiling the next day because he was so blown away by how positive the experience was.

“He was just like, ‘this really just made me feel so good,’” Williams said.

“Even though you hear a lot of bad things about people in general, I think people in St. Helens are great people who like to help each other and support each other.”

Columbia County extends hours for free household hazardous waste collection event Columbia County is offering residents one last chance before winter to clear their homes of paint, garden chemicals and other toxic items in a free Household Hazardous Waste drop off event.

Residents can bring a variety of items that are used around the home but cannot be placed in garbage bins or disposed through regular recycling. Substances in such common items as household cleaners, lawn and garden care and vehicle maintenance contain toxins that can present potential safety and health hazards when discarded into the environment.

“The county’s household hazardous waste collection program has grown as more people understand the value of disposing toxic items safely,” said Kathy BoutinPasterz, the county’s Solid Waste Administrator.

Because the events have drawn more people over the last few years, the county is extending this drop-off event by two hours. The free event takes place at the Columbia County Transfer Station at 1601 Railroad Ave. in St. Helens on Saturday, October 26, from 8 a.m. to 2.pm.

Below is a list of toxic substances that can be

brought to the October 26 event. Items must be in containers of less than five gallons and should be secured safely during transport. Trained household hazardous waste technicians will unload materials from vehicles.

• ammunition • fireworks and flares • gas / diesel / fuels / antifreeze / motor oil • lawn and garden chemi cals • herbicides and pesticides • pool and spa chemicals • light ballasts—please remove from light fixture • fluorescent tubes • art and hobby chemicals • solvents and thinners • items containing mer cury • propane cylinders • compressed gas cylin ders • batteries - car, recharge able, button —no alkaline batteries • cleaners and detergents • poisons • paint and paint products (latex and acrylic paint, oilbased paint, enamel, stains, lacquers, shellacs, varnishes, primers) • used motor oil • cooking oil • medical Sharps • automotive batteries

• antifreeze • fluorescent tubes Unwanted paint, used motor oil and used cooking oil can be brought to the event as well as any time during the Transfer Station’s open hours for no fee. Medical Sharps are also accepted during open hours for no cost at the Scale House. Sharps must arrive in a sealed, self-closing , puncture-proof OSHA approved container.

Although automotive batteries, antifreeze and fluorescent tubes will be collected at no cost during this collection event, a fee is charged when brought to the Transfer Station at other times.

The St. Helens Police Department accepts expired, unused or unwanted prescription drugs at 150 S 13th St. Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. - noon or 1 -5 p.m. in the MedReturn collection box.

The county will begin hosting more household hazardous waste drop off events next year. The first event takes place in St. Helens on February 22, 2020.

Actor Peter Facinelli, who played Dr. Carlisle Cullen in the “Twilight” films, the first of which had several scenes filmed in St. Helens, led the pumpkin lighting ceremony on Oct. 12. The crowd counted back from 13, and then the pumpkin was magically lit.

Volunteers from “FEAR. Tell us your story,” pose for a scary picture. The event, which took place at Wild Currant, 201 1st Street, was part haunted house, part play and part story-telling activity where audience members were also participants in surviving a zombie apocalypse. Proceeds from the event benefited Hometown Heroes, which supported the county’s local National Guard Unit.
