Chris Ostling is lucky to be alive, and he’s well aware of it. Ostling survived the explosion of the boat he lived aboard at the St. Helens Marina, and said he is grateful for the support he’s received from the community. The explosion occurred late Sunday evening, Oct. 25, and was triggered by a mishap with a marine-grade propane heater kept aboard. “Honestly I should be in little pieces scattered around the river as fish bait,” he said. “Miracles do happen.” Ostling had lit his propane heater, which draws fresh air from outside, and turned away for a few minutes. He said he started to hear strange noises from the area and when he returned he saw flames. He knelt down, his face inches away from the heater, and twisted the knob to turn it off but it let oxygen in instead. Then, it exploded. “Basically I turned the knob and I saw a tongue of flame come at my face and I closed my eyes,” he said. The blast knocked him back only about six inches, but he said the moments that followed were silent, as though he had been sucked into a vacuum. He felt the blast and fireball wave past him. “The boat just seemed to be racing away from me in all directions but down,” he said. “It was absolutely silent. It was just surreal.” Shortly after the initial shock,

Joe Biden beat Donald Trump in the mock 2020 general election held by students at St. Helens High School. “The purpose was to have kids get involved in the election process and be informed of the issues that Oregon and the country are facing,” St. Helens High School Social Studies teacher Keith Meeuwsen said. The students had access to a digital survey and voted online to engage in the mock election. “The biggest takeaway is to have discussions before and after the election and to make sure kids were aware of what is going on in their state and country,” Meewsen said. “Last presidential elections the students elected Donald Trump so it will be interesting to see if they are right this time around.” Because of the pandemic and remote learning, Meeuwsen said less than 200 kids voted in the mock election. “Which is disappointing,” he said. “Typically we run a pencil and paper ballot at school with kids in attendance and get pretty close to 100% turnout. This year, being an online survey, we have about a 25% turnout. It just goes to show how hard it is

to reach kids online compared to in person.” Meeuwsen said the students have been very interested in the election. “And they certainly have their opinions about who should run the country and what ballot measures should pass,” he said. “It makes you feel hopeful when you see this interest from young people.” The following are the results from the SHHS mock election prepared by SHHS social studies teacher Mitch Yen-Kastoff.

Despite two straight days of record high reported COVID-19 cases, the State of Oregon and Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has adjusted their reopening schools metrics, which will allow some students to return back to the classroom. The new metrics are based

on the latest COVID-19 studies and data by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), align to CDC recommendations, are in line with standards in other states like California and help Oregon meet its priority to return students to in-person instruction. “Over the course of just a few months, life has transformed,” Gov. Kate Brown said in press conference Oct. 30. “From the very first case of COVID-19 in Oregon, I have continued to use

science to guide my decision making. My top priority has been and will always be the health and safety of Oregonians.” Since Oregon’s metrics were originally issued in August, more data has become available from school districts across the country. ODE worked with the Oregon Health Authority to establish when students can return See INSTRUCTION Page A4

County reports second COVID-19 death MONIQUE MERRILL chronicle2@countrymedia.net

People may be tiring of the pandemic, but there’s still a long way to go, health officials warn. On Saturday, Oct. 31, Columbia County reported its second pandemic-related death. The death was a 73-year-old woman who tested positive for the virus on Sept. 23 and died on Oct. 6. She had underlying conditions, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). “This death reminds us in Columbia County of the severity of illness the virus can cause, and yet another reminder not to underestimate the virus,” said Michael Paul, director of public health at Columbia County. Paul said in-person gatherings have accounted for a large number of cases the county public health department has investigated throughout the year. “We’ve heard from people in all age groups and walks of life who admittedly failed to appreciate how contagious the virus is, and other people who have had a household member who brought the virus home,” he said. On Friday, Oct. 30, the OHA reported its highest statewide daily COVID-19 case count since the pandemic began, with 600 cases reported. The previous highest daily record was 575 new cases and it was set on Thursday, Oct. 29. Over the weekend five new cases were reported in Columbia County, leading to a total of 281 cases in the county since the onset of the pandemic. It’s important to consider the case counts outside of just

Columbia County due to the large number of people who commute outside the county for work and because residents rely on hospitals outside of this county, Paul said. “If our case rates in those communities continue to increase beyond the current level, we will see the same happen here, and it will unavoidably have an adverse effect on local businesses and the reopening of schools in Columbia County,” Paul said. “To avoid those disruptions, we all have to increase our adherence to the public health recommendations — particularly mask wearing and social distancing.” A hospital’s perspective In a media briefing, Dr. Lawrence Neville, Chief Medical Officer for PeaceHealth’s Columbia Network, addressed the poor trends seen in the rise of cases reported. “I think we are all concerned that we may be entering a period of revived and increased COVID activity,” Neville said. ”More locally we’re seeing some early warning signs that we may be heading into a rough patch.” The number one driver for this rise is household exposure, followed by private social gatherings, he said. Paul has said that weddings, reunions, family get-togethers, birthday parties, funerals, church service, political events and other in-person gatherings where health practices haven’t been followed have been tied to the spread cases in Columbia County. “We reached a low point in July, and I think we were all hoping we would stay at that low point but unfortunately it is occurring to climb and has reached levels we haven’t seen since early in the pandemic,” Neville said. Addressing the impact the pandemic has had on public health, Neville said there have been negative effects on peoples’ health, even if they haven’t been infected. For example, he said he’s noticed that some people have been less likely to come into

Local Veteran’s Day event canceled Pandemic: Are the kids OK? Photo courtesy of Metro Creative Connections

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered physical and mental challenges among children, according to doctors with Kaiser Permanente Northwest.

fast-food meals or having processed food delivered that a family may not otherwise eat.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The COVID-19 pandemic is especially adverse for children, according to Kaiser Permanente Northwest pediatricians, who said they are seeing significant weight gain in children as they come in for their annual well-child physicals. Inactivity, lack of sports, play, physical education (PE), stress, and unhealthy eating habits are combining to reverse recent improvements in childhood obesity rates, the doctors report. The percentage of children considered obese is expected to jump in 2020, after declining slightly in the past 10 years.

Without the needed daily physical activity, Denike said children face obesity and that could lead to inducing COVID infections and other serious health issues. “As kids become more obese, they increase their chances of contracting Type 2 diabetes and prior to COVID we were seeing more and more of that develop,” she said. “Developing that during childhood can lead to lifelong serious diseases developing in later adulthood, such as kidney problems, high blood pressure and heart disease.”

Remote learning downside

Practice family routines

“Many kids are doing a lot of online learning and that is contributing to them being very sedentary,” Kaiser Permanente Northwest Chief of Pediatrics Dr. Lisa Denike told The Chronicle. Schools that are offering online physical education classes and the few that have in-person PE classes are encouraging, Denike said, because that allows children to have some physical activity during their day. Denike also encourages parents to take their children for daily walks around the block or at local parks. “That gives the family a chance to get outside, get some fresh air and spend time together,” she said. “Not only does that give the kids some physical activity, it gets them off their screens and gives them direction time as well.” For both parents and children, high stress and anxiety resulting from the pandemic can lead to eating disorders, according to Denike, who recommends that parents follow regular scheduled meal times and help their children avoid grazing or snacking inbetween those meals. “That can be really helpful to avoid that extra calorie intake,” she said. Denike said the added responsibility of being a parent, working and being a teacher at home due to the pandemic can be very challenging and hard at the end of the day to plan and develop healthy meals and that leads many to seek quick

Doctors are also seeing a rise in mental health issues among children and teens, ranging from sadness and stress to anxiety and depression. “The first thing we all need to do is to take a breath and acknowledge how difficult these times are for everyone right now,” she said. ‘This is a huge change for us. So, look at developing strategies and what is in your control and what can you can do. Focus on responsibilities at home and the practical things that can be accomplished.” Denike encourages parents to work with their children and write down sleeping, meal and activity schedules on a chart and place that chart on a wall for all to see and to follow. “Having a schedule that parents can reinforce is a huge help,” she said. “That’s in our control and the more that we have in our control the better we will feel. Our kids will feel that as well. When we are stressed, they feel that.”

Lifelong impact

Pandemic anxiety, stress The Kaiser Permanente Northwest doctors said they are also seeing a rise in mental health issues among children and teens, ranging from sadness and stress to anxiety and depression. Denike said the pandemic could also provide an opportunity for parents to practice resilience. “It gives us a chance to talk with our children about what

they are afraid of and what they are worried about and to reassure them, and goes a really long way,” Denike said. “Being together more and to communicate is positive, letting your children know that you may have some worries too, and helping them learn positive coping skills to ease their concerns is very helpful.” Denike encourages parents to be aware of the social media that their children may have access to. “Know what social media platforms your children have access to,” she said. “Just because it is online doesn’t mean it is factual. Just starting there is important and it is important to check in with you kids and give some undivided time every day, even if it is just a few minutes.” Denike recommends that parents check the American Academy of Pediatrics website, aap.org, which offers valuable information about social media and other topics to keep children safe and healthy. “It is important for us to use the upcoming holidays to build new traditions with our families,” Denike said. “Kids love to be creative, so talking with your kids about new traditions that you can have with your family is a good way to stay connected during the pandemic.” Through family conversations and checking resources, Denike said she believes parents and children will be able to develop concrete and tangible solutions for their well-being during the pandemic and any other challenging times. Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation’s largest not-forprofit health plans, serving 12.4 million members. In the Northwest, it has medical offices and outpatient facilities in Portland, Eugene and Salem.

Organizers for a local Veterans’ Day event have announced cancellation of the annual tribute at McCormick Park in St. Helens. In a release, the organizers said due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continuing impact on community aging veterans and families, there will be no formal program this year.

The planning committee for this annual event includes the VFW Post 1440 and VFW Post 1440 Auxiliary, Oregon National Guard, City of St. Helens, St. Helens Garden Club and others. “We are encouraging everyone interested to drop by the Veterans Plaza on Nov. 11, and pay your respects to those men and women who

have so bravely served to protect our proud nation,” the release states. “During this year of discord, fear, and civil unrest, where over 225,000 people in the United States, have given their lives to a virus that has held us in it’s grips, let us all remember what our country stands for: Liberty, Justice, and Freedom for All.”

to the classroom while still mitigating the risk of COVID-19 spread. “What we as a country have learned, is that essentially, it is impossible to work from home and teach your children a full day’s worth of school at the same time,” Brown said. A key lesson from the review of national school data is that Oregon school districts can help protect student and staff health and well-being during in-person instruction when community spread is sufficiently low and when school districts strictly adhere to the health and safety protocols now in place in Oregon. “Guided by data, these metrics offer an intentional and measured approach to returning to in-person instruction while recognizing the importance of meeting our kids’ academic needs— and allow for in-person instruction in places of our state where the risk of COVID-19 is lower,” ODE Director Colt Gill said. “They also set a North Star for the rest of the state to work toward. We all know that in-person instruction provides our children and families with more than access to an equitable education. Schools are a center of services to students and families, offering nutritious meals, access to socialemotional and mental health supports, as well as physical health services.” Key changes to the metrics include: • A clear set of reachable targets for communities to strive for, with a North Star of returning Oregon students to in-person instruction. • Acknowledgement that Oregon’s Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance’s strong public health protocols in structured settings like schools, can greatly reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19. • Additional time for schools to transition between in-person and distance learning models. • Increased access to in-person instruction at the elementary level. • A two Week “Look Back” at the Metrics Data rather than one week at a time over a three week period. • Removes State Positivity Rate in favor of county positivity rates. “These metrics depend on the public doing its part to reduce Oregon’s case rates so that all of our children can return to in-person instruction,” Gill said. “Oregonians can reduce spread and send our kids back to school by wearing a face covering, maintaining distance, washing hands frequently, and avoiding group gatherings.” Brown reiterated that the vast majority of students will not be able to return to class, even under these new metrics. However, an estimated 130,000 students will potentially be able to return to in person instruction. “We are making adjustments to the metrics based on our best judgements of science, they are not radical shifts,” Brown said. Gill stated that when safety guidelines are fol-

lowed in schools, schools are not super spreader sites, based on their data. In fact, Gill said they oftentimes are helpful in identifying individuals who may be sick. “The fact is, many of our students do far better with in person instruction, especially our youngest learners, who are beginning to build there basic skills and learning to read,” Gill said. ODE and OHA were among the very first states to create metrics for returning to in-person instruction in early August. At that time they were based in large part on successes seen in other countries, as school was not in session in the U.S. Later, exceptions were added to make a return to in-person instruction possible for more students, where there was lower risk of COVID-19 transmission. As the state learns more about the progression of COVID-19 in Oregon, the effectiveness of future vaccines and other mitigation efforts, and gain more information about the transmission of COVID-19 in structured settings like schools, ODE and OHA are committed to reviewing the metrics again in the coming weeks. The metric updates take effect immediately. The guidance recommends that schools consider both equity and a methodical and cautious approach at the beginning that return a portion of the school population first and then add more students on-site over time. This will allow schools to build new safety routines, stabilize cohorts and avoid sudden, disruptive transitions back to Comprehensive Distance Learning due to quarantine or isolation. “We must stay vigilant in our efforts to continue stopping the spread of COVID as we work towards reopening more schools,” Brown said. “I know we are all sick of hearing it, but that means we have to continue with more effort than ever before. The hand washing, staying home when sick, mask wearing, getting a flu shot and avoiding gatherings.” Cases in Oregon OHA reported a record high 600 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases Oct. 30, the highest one-day count since the pandemic swept across the state in March. The OHA also released its newest modeling that includes three scenarios. The first scenario assumes that if transmission continues at its current level into late November, new daily cases would increase from around 340 to 380 and new daily hospitalizations would number reach about 22. The more pessimistic scenario assumes a 5-percentage point increase in transmission, which if happens, would drive daily cases upward to about 520, with a steep increase in people who are hospitalized daily due to the virus. This would indicate vastly accelerated spread. The final and most optimistic scenario model assumes a drop in transmission to mid-August levels. That would result in 230 reported cases and a steep drop in daily hospitalizations due to COVID.

This would signal considerably slower community spread. “Oregonians have made huge sacrifices along the way and I’ve been humbled and impressed by all of you,” Brown said. “Seven months later, we have learned a lot. One thing that is abundantly clear is that COVID is here to stay for the foreseeable future.” Brown urged Oregonians to take a step back and reflect on what they can do to limit the spread of the virus. She noted the state will continue focusing on increasing testing, contact tracing and launching a new educational campaign regarding social gatherings. “Oregon’s cases are rising, much like the rest of the country, and frankly, cases around the globe,” Brown said. “The second wave that we’ve all been afraid of is here.” Following the Brown’s announcement on Friday, Oct. 30 about easing the metrics, The Chronicle contacted Columbia County school district administrators to find out if and when they might qualify to resume in-person instruction. St. Helens School District Superintendent Scot Stockwell responded with a copy of a letter he sent to district parents following Gov. Brown’s announcement. Stockwell outlined the key changes to the metrics and said that the district was still reviewing the new information and evaluating what it will mean for the St. Helens Schools. “However, we wanted to provide you with an update on what we do know at this time,” Stockwell wrote. “As we learn more, we will be communicating with our families, staff, and community members as to what this means for the St. Helens School District. We will also need to work with county public health officials to better understand their capacity to keep our students, staff, and community safe given the new metrics.” Stockwell said the district’s goal is to allow students back into the buildings for in-person instruction as soon as it is safe to do so. Scappoose School District Superintendent Tim Porter issued a similar letter to district parents. “We are reviewing this new information and will be communicating with our families and the greater community in the coming days about what this means for our schools,” Porter said. Clatskanie School District Superintendent Cathy Hurowitz told The Chronicle that her district is now taking steps to resume limited in-person classes. “Columbia County qualifies for K-3 return,” she said.” We are in the planning stages to gradually bring students back.” Rainier Interim Superintendent Joseph Hattrick said a decision is pending. “It’s difficult to determine just yet,” he said. “Although the new guidelines have been released we are waiting on the metrics, which are not currently available, in order to understand where we are at.” The Chronicle will update this story as additional details become available.

Voices of the Community What socialism really is Socialism is when the state controls the means of production. That is, owns the factories and such where people work. America is nothing like a socialist state at all. We are a democratic republic of states with a capitalist economy. No one wants to change that. Not even Bernie Sanders, who I’ll admit made a grave marketing error in deciding to call himself a Democratic Socialist, opening the door for all uneducated alarmists to align him and anyone with the term “social” in their make-up, as

communists — which is, again, totally different from socialism. Equating taxes that would allow everyone in the country to have health care, higher education, and housing to socialism is bunk. We pay taxes for schools, libraries, police departments, fire departments, roads, airports ports and the military. If taxes are socialist, then the U.S. military is the largest and most expensive socialist organization in the world. And everyone seems to have been fine with that since the middle of the last century. Get a clue people. Look up the definitions of words once in a while. Stop buying

into the propaganda. H. Weston Drumheller Warren
