This year’s Catch the Holiday SPIRIT Card, which will also include names of participating businesses of the card-holder’s hometown on the back.

Catch the Holiday Spirit nity Prize, which will be a $50 gift card for a minimum of three winners for the cardholder’s hometown. They will also be entered for a Columbia County grand-prize drawing on Jan. 7, 2020, which will be broadcast live from the Wauna Federal Credit Union in Clatskanie on Keep It Local’s Facebook page, for a prize valued at $150. Parvey said Keep It Local is still figuring out the details for both prizes. This year, Parvey said the campaign has added something else to encourage younger Columbia County residents to join in: Spirit Selfie, where customers take pictures of themselves and their purchases at local businesses. Spirit Selfie works a little differently from Catch the Holiday Spirit. The campaign still runs from Nov. 16 through Dec. 31, but shoppers do not have to carry a card with them, and there are no businesses officially partnered with the campaign. Instead, shoppers choose any business in Columbia County and spend $25 or more. They then take a picture of their purchase or their receipt, post the photo on the Facebook Event page for Spirit Selfie and tag the local business in the entry. The Spirit Selfie Facebook page encourages shoppers to “get creative” with their photograph. There will be a weekly drawing on Friday mornings, which will be announced on Facebook, and the winner will be contacted via Facebook messenger for prize pickup. Prizes valued at a minimum of $25 will be given away each week, according to Spirit Selfie’s Facebook page. Before Keep It Local took over the Catch the Holiday Spirit Campaign, the Clatskanie Chamber of Commerce did their own version for a number of years. In Clatskanie, Chris Dahlgren, who served in a few different positions on the Clatskanie Chamber of Commerce, created “Catch the Holiday Spirit” in 2011 when she served as Promotion Chair. The campaign had a model nearly identical to the one currently in use by Keep It Local, in which Dahlgren also serves as a member. Twice a year, once during the holidays and once during the spring, the campaign took place, with customers carrying a card with them, checking off boxes when they made a local purchase, and then awarded prizes when they turned in completed cards. Prizes were often Chamber Checks that could be used to shop locally, with the grand prize being $50. Keep It Local, when it was formed five years ago to

In an effort to encourage county residents to shop locally, Keep it Local Columbia County, in conjunction with Chambers of Commerce from Clatskanie, Rainier, St. Helens, Scappoose and Vernonia, is launching its fourth Catch the Holiday Spirit Campaign, which will begin Nov. 16 and run until Dec. 31. The campaign, sponsored by Wauna Federal Credit Union, involves customers having their boxes checked off on a 20-box card, called the “SPIRIT Card,” which they obtain at participating businesses. This year, more than 88 businesses are participating throughout Columbia County, and for every $10 the person spends at their business, one box gets checked off. Local shoppers can also donate to local non-profits, and the non-profit will write “give” in one of the boxes for the amount donated. United Way and Amani Center are two of several participating non-profits. For businesses to participate, they had to give $25 to Keep It Local Columbia County. In exchange, they were given materials, like 25 SPIRIT Cards and a poster to display with participating businesses listed on it, as well as some perks, like their business name tagged for promotion in two different Facebook Events: “Catch the Holiday Spirit” and “Spirit Selfies.” The deadline for businesses to participate was Nov. 1. “It’s very much the economic groups collaborating to have a good Christmas. It’s a fun little way to get people to shop locally,” Natasha Parvey, Director for Keep It Local Columbia County said. Shoppers should aim to fill out all 20 boxes on the SPIRIT Card, or as many SPIRIT Cards as possible. When filled out, cards should be dropped off at a specified drop-off location in the card-holder’s hometown by Dec. 31. For St. Helens residents, that drop-off location is Wauna Federal Credit Union. Completed cards will be entered for a chance to win the drawing of the Commu-

The new federal lawsuit against the school district alleges the defendants were negligent in protecting the student from abuse. JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

Last week, a new chapter unfolded in the nearly two-year saga documenting the actions of former St. Helens High School (SHHS) teacher and track coach Kyle Jarred Wro-

blewski, who was sentenced to four years in prison in August for sexually abusing a student. On Oct. 29, a lawsuit was filed by the student against the St. Helens School District (SHSD) in federal district court in Portland, which alleges the district failed to protect her from child sexual abuse at

the hands of Wroblewski. But who are the players and what happens next? The Chronicle reached out to the SHSD, and Community Relations Specialist Stacey Mendoza said the district does not comment on ongoing cases as policy. The student, using the pseudonym Jessica Doe to

protect her identity, is represented by attorneys Steve Crew and Peter Janci of Crew Janci LLP, a law firm that specializes in childhood sexual abuse cases. Crew said he and Janci have been

Veterans Memorial Plaza dedicated Dedication ceremony recognizes hard work and collaboration between groups

people from various groups who collaborated on the project either financially or through other contributions about the work that took place to make it happen. Jenny Dimsho, Associate Planner, spoke about the two major design shifts that happened mid-way through the designing and planning phase. Dimsho secured the $46,770 grant from the Oregon Parks & Recreation Veterans & War Memorials Grant Program that made the project possible. The project was also offered an additional $48,000 grant by the VFW Post 1440, which sparked one of the design shifts. Another shift happened when site preparation led the city to more than double the size of the memorial, enabling the wall to incorporate existing monuments of names of soldiers.

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The new Veterans Memorial Plaza at McCormick Park is now open, after an official dedication ceremony on Nov. 1 at 12 p.m. The dedication ceremony had two goals: to celebrate the completion of the project, and to recognize the partnerships between the City of St. Helens, VFW Post 1440, businesses and community members who helped support the new plaza. Names of more than 150 men are listed on the memorial, which has been improved and expanded from the original. The former memorial, dedicated in 1958 and originally located along Highway 30 at Columbia Boulevard, had wooden plaques with hand-carved names of veterans engraved on top. Some plaques on the former memorial were lost during the widening of

additional names of servicemen who died in World War I, World War II and Korea. There is also now an additional plaque to honor those lost in more recent conflicts, like Vietnam and the Middle East. Approximately 50 people attended the dedication ceremony. They heard from six

Round Two of Hometown Heroes is now in the final stages of sorting through donations in preparation to send out care packages in support of active duty service members and the recently deployed St. Helens National Guard unit. Columbia County Sheriff Brian Pixley said he’s expecting some additional donations to trickle in this week. They’ve yet to weigh the donations they’ve received thus far but will be packing and weighing the assortment of donated supplies around 1 p.m. on Nov. 18 with the help of the American Heritage Girls. The most recent nominee for Hometown Heroes was announced by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) on Oct. 22 and will join Cassandra Gardner of the United States Air Force, Lucas Young of the United States Navy, Zacory Clegg of the United States Army, Leland Piccolo of the United States Army National Guard, and Darci Snyder of the United States Air Force. The next hero to be introduced is Sergeant David Fischer of the United States Army. Fischer was born in Portland and moved to Scappoose in 2000 before starting kindergarten and would go on to graduate from Scappoose High School in 2014. Fischer married his high school sweetheart, Diamond,

encourage business growth in Columbia County, saw the success of that model and made it their own, according to Parvey. “When Keep It Local was formed, the purpose was to be the glue to bring the county together. We thought, ‘wouldn’t it be great to bring the county together for Christmas,’ and we thought we’d use the Clatskanie model but take it county-wide,” Parvey said. Catch the Holiday Spirit has been growing in its four years of county-wide existence. According to Parvey, in its first year, the campaign brought in $26,000, its second year brought $46,000 and last year the figure was $91,000 of money spent in-county. Those numbers are just estimates from completed SPIRIT Cards, and the true figure is probably a lot higher, Dahlgren said. Dahlgren now owns and runs Discounts & Deals in

in the summer of 2015 and they are expecting their first daughter in December. According to the CCSO, Baby Girl Fischer’s due date just happens to coincide with Fischer’s birthday. Until recently, Fischer’s main hobby was playing video games, but now he spends his spare time preparing for their new baby. Fischer has a younger sister, Danielle, who lives in Independence, Oregon and a younger brother, Dennis, who just joined the Army himself and is currently undergoing basic training in Fort Benning, Georgia. Fischer is stationed in Grafenwohr, Germany where he works as an Unmanned Aircraft Systems Repairer, otherwise known as a drone technician. “Let’s show David how much the residents of Columbia County appreciate his sacrifice and service,” the CCSO said via Facebook. Clatskanie and has her store participate in Catch the Holiday Spirit. She said she gives out about 100 cards each year and tries to push the campaign in her store. One thing Dahlgren said she would like to see improved is the number of businesses participating, and the amount that each business advertises the campaign to its customers. “We actually need the businesses to be promoting this as much as Keep It Local,” Dahlgren said. Dahlgren said oftentimes customers will make a purchase in her store and hear about the campaign. They will then look at the list of participating businesses on the poster and say they were just at one of the stores listed, but didn’t hear about the campaign, let alone obtain a SPIRIT Card and get boxes checked for purchases made. “I tell them to go back with their receipt and make them sign it. Some of the businesses just don’t train their staff to push it, and if that happened, it would be a lot more successful,” Dahlgren said.

St. Helens group writes novels in a month CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

November for most people is the month for elections, football, Thanksgiving and holiday shopping. For one group in Columbia County, it’s the month for something else. Since 1999, November has been deemed National Novel Writing Month, known as “NaNoWriMo” for short. It is what it sounds like: participants try their hand at writing a novel in a month; 50,000 words in 30 days. Novels are kept offline, but participants create a profile and keep track of their stats on an internetbased forum, nanowrimo.org. Participants can go it alone or join a regional group of writers. In Columbia County, that regional group is worldrenowned. NaNoWriMo, St. Helens Region, which officially began in 2014, is open to anyone in Columbia County or parts of Clatsop County, according to Becky Bean, municipal liaison. The group has numbers unlike many other regions. According to Bean, St. Helens NaNoWriMo was ranked fifth in the United States for word count for 2017 and 2018. They were ranked eighth worldwide the same years. “I think a lot of that has

to do with having a really high completion rate, and we have a couple people that just really write a lot,” Bean said. “And we also have a really high rate for people who reached 30,000 [words], which is kind of the hard thing.” One statistic quoted on the NaNoWriMo website is that participants are “three times more likely to finish a novel with a buddy!” That might be the secret to the group’s rankings, because NaNoWriMo, St. Helens Region is not short of participants. Numbers of writers in the group vary, but Bean estimated about 30 to 50 active members each year. The participants are invited to come to the group’s “Write-Ins” which last for two hours and take place every Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the Armstrong Room of St. Helens Public Library, 375 S. 18th Street, and every Thursday at 6 p.m. at Running Dogs Brewery, 291 S. 1st Street in St. Helens. Their biggest event will happen on Friday, Nov. 15 at the St. Helens Public Library. On that day, the group will have a “Late Night Write.” Starting at 5 p.m., the library will be shut down to everyone but NaNoWriMo participants, who will write until midnight. Bean said as few as zero and as many as 22 people have shown up for write-ins

in the past. There are certain rules writers of NaNoWriMo must follow, outlined on NaNoWriMo.org. Writers may plan and outline before writing, but only words written from Nov. 1 to Nov. 30 count toward the 50,000-word total. Writers are only allowed to write fiction, meaning that poetry and non-fiction don’t count. When participants are done, they upload their novel onto their profile on the NaNoWriMo website, which automatically counts their words. Those who complete the 50,000 words are deemed “winners” – a title that comes with bragging rights, but also potential discounts on things

like writing software, Bean said. Writers will choose different tactics to achieve the word count, and they generally fall into one of two camps, Bean said. One camp is for writers who don’t plan or plot at all, and just write spontaneously. Another camp is for writers who are “plotters,” and meticulously plot and plan out their novels before beginning writing. Bean is in the latter camp. “This is the first year I’ve ever been a plotter,” Bean said. “I know exactly what my story is. I know exactly where I’m going to go. So all I have to do is open up a chapter and get to work on

it.”

The reason Bean decided to plan this year is because of time constraints. Bean has four children, works full-time and has a farm. The only writing she can get done is in 500-word increments, she said, usually early in the morning and late at night. Every once in a while, she will skip a few days and then stay up for four hours at night to cram 3,000 words in. To meet the 50,000-word goal, participants have to write 1,667 words per day, meaning skipping even one day can make a writer fall far behind. There are ways to meet the word count, even with

limited time. That’s what Abigail Martian, a third-year NaNoWriMo participant from Scappoose, figured out early on. Martian is working while on break from Brigham Young University – Idaho, and said even in her 15-minute breaks at work, she said she can squeeze writing in. “I just grab out my journal, stand where I am, and sprint-write for 15 minutes before I get back to working,” Martian said. “You just take the time you have, and when given small amounts of time, use it.” Jadyn LaRiviere, also from Scappoose, and another participant in the St. Helens NaNoWrimo group, said writers should start without expecting perfection. “You just have to write the words,” LaRiviere said. “Don’t be worried about structure or anything. You just got to write it and see where it goes and then just get it down.” LaRiviere works as a nanny in Portland and can sometimes squeeze in writing during downtime at work. This is her fourth year participating in NaNoWriMo. She said new writers can sometimes expect their work to be good for their first draft and be disappointed when it isn’t. “It’s going to be bad,” LaRiviere said. “So just write. Just start.”

In response to SHEDCO concerns AL PETERSEN President of SHEDCO

I can’t quite comprehend why our local self-proclaimed whistleblower continues to lob inflated accusations at me and the St Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO). I have neither the time nor space to respond to all of his trumped-up claims however I

will address a few. Mr. Preheim’s misinformed statements regarding the grants are gross exaggerations. Neither grant has been “lost”. SHEDCO acquired a $100,000 reimbursement grant for El Tapatio which is valid until May of 2020 and the $200,000 reimbursement grant that SHEDCO acquired for the Columbia Theater is valid until 2022. The SHEDCO board sincerely

hopes that both businesses will be able to take advantage of those grants. If anyone has questions about the grants I encourage them to contact Oregon Mainstreet Grant Coordinator Kuri Gill at the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation. Mr. Preheim fallaciously proclaimed: “SHEDCO has refused to release their IRS 990 form as required by law.” The facts, which he is

well aware, are these: On November 6 2018 Mr. Preheim requested SHEDCO’s IRS 990 information. On November 7 2018 I personally emailed him six years of IRS 990 information (2012 to 2018). On November 8, 2018, by email, he acknowledged receipt. (Copies of the above correspondence have been provided to this newspaper.) What is it called when a

writer intentionally publishes something derogatory about others which, through direct knowledge, the writer knows is false?

stimulated by “words” our bodies are programmed to react in certain ways to words. For instance throw the word out there “pain” your brain automatically associates that word to an unpleasant feeling, throw the word out there “soft” your brain responds inkind immediately thinking of something smooth to the touch. So what do you think happens to the developing body and mind of a young person coming into puberty and sexuality when you through words out to them like orgasm sex, ejaculation. Think about it. I’m not sure what I can do about this, but believe me I am on the war path and I am wholly unsettled about this matter and I think it is time to do something about it. Help me out here.

Remembering Parents on Veterans Day

(*Editor’s note – When The Chronicle printed Brady Preheim’s Letter to the Editor Oct. 30 concerning allegations against Al Petersen and SHEDCO, we did not yet have the above documentation. It can be found in the

online version of this article at thechronicleonline.com. Additionally, The Chronicle contacted Oregon Main Street’s grants and outreach coordinator, Kuri Gill, who confirmed that Petersen did, in fact, disclose his conflict of interest concerning the El Tapatio building. Gill said, “From our perspective, SHEDCO completed all the necessary requirements for both grants.”)

Voices of the Community I’m Mad My 11-year-old 6th grade granddaughter came to me the other day and asked for help studying for a test in her Health class for school. She presented a list of words with the definitions that would be on the test that they would be having the next day. ( Mind you this is a Health class with boys and girls together) I was floored at the list of words that she presented masturbation, clitoris, ejaculation, penis, erection, and the list went on, I have to tell you I am 68 years old and these words were never introduced to my vocabulary until much later in life I would have to say adult life. I immediately became embarrassed and livid all at the same time. What are they teaching our children in school these days? Last year they taught one of my

other granddaughters that there are 9 different genders or more. No there is not there are two genders a boy and a girl. How dare they teach this trash to our children at the tender ages of 0-15 years of age. I wholly understand the need for “young adults” to know the meaning of sex , reproductive system, puberty, body functions and communicable diseases, but really when has it become the right of the public school system to drench our young, vulnerable, impressionable minds with such private sensitive information. Tell me what class do they teach morals, abstinence, self-control, responsibilities, consequences, self-respect, decency, family, civilized. Whether people believe in God or not there are civilized rules that humans have lived by for many years. The difference between right and

wrong, good and evil, civilized and animalistic. Killing and not killing. Stealing and not stealing. These idealisums are what differentiates us from being animals. Civilized people live together in harmony, have moral beliefs, have hope for a better after life, believe in the family unit love and marriage and children respectability private sex life. Animals are just that wild and uniforms live in packs and live by no rules. And have no dignity. You cannot possibly expect the minds of children going through puberty to handle sex talk thrown straight into their faces. For heavens sakes look what is going on around the schools and the world. You have generations of mixed up people. Well getting back to the subject of the words and class. The human mind is

As another Veteran’s Day approaches, I think of my parents. Dad grew up in north Portland and enlisted in the Navy after graduation from Jefferson High School. Although being scheduled for discharge in mid-October 1941 he received stop gap orders from the War Department and was assigned to a new light carrier USS Wasp (CV-7). After completing two trips ferrying aircraft in support of the Battle of Britain and the island of Malta, his ship was refitted for the Pacific. While conducting aerial combat support of Guadalcanal the ship was torpedoed by Japanese Submarine I-19. While on survivors leave he met and married mom, who at the time was a real “Rosie the Riveter”

between the physical health of a patient with diabetes and their oral health condition,” says Alexa Jett, dental hygienist and CareOregon oral health integration manager. “When there are increased bacteria in the mouth and the gum tissue becomes inflamed, it causes a chain reaction throughout the body.” The effects of this inflammation can contribute to cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, cancer, osteoporosis, respiratory disease and diabetes mellitus. “It goes both ways,” says Sherry Edwards, DDS, CareOregon dental director. “The infection in the mouth can cause a spike in blood sugar so that you won’t have a healthy blood sugar test. And if your blood sugar is high, as it is with diabetes

that can make your gum disease worse.” In her practice as a dental hygienist, Alexa could be alerted that a patient might have uncontrolled diabetes by the condition of their gums. If you have periodontal disease, certain types of dental cleanings — which depend on the diagnosis — may actually improve your blood sugar control. They could mean a 0.4 percent reduction in A1C, the blood test that provides information about average levels of blood glucose—sugar—over the prior three months. Since “normal” is below 5.7, a 0.4 reduction can be significant. Coupled with medication, weight loss and improvements in exercise and diet, dental cleaning can really help reach the goal of controlling diabetes. That’s why the Coordi-

nated Care Organizations that oversee the Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) are making an extra effort to raise awareness of the importance of oral health among members and physical health care providers. CareOregon Dental’s team is reaching out to primary care providers to share this knowledge. “We are promoting dental health, and explaining it is part of the package that should be presented for diabetes care,” Alexa says. “In this case, it is not dental care, it is diabetes care. “Establish a relationship with a dentist, have the annual exam, and develop an oral health treatment plan.” The Oregon Health Plan covers comprehensive oral health care, including exams and cleanings, in addition to

fillings and other repair work. Medical screenings If you have diabetes, your regular visit to your physical health care provider should include screening for: • A1C – a long-term measure of blood sugar level. • Vision – uncontrolled diabetes causes changes in the retina or excess fluid, which results in blurred vision. This requires a special eye exam. • Kidneys – high blood sugar makes kidneys work extra hard, and damage to blood vessels also hurts kidney function. • Feet – diabetes can damage circulation and nerve endings, causing some people to stop feeling heat or cold. People can get ulcers on their feet when this happens.

Here are some tips about how to prepare for that annual exam: • Keep a blood glucose log and bring it with you. • Keep your list of medications and supplements, both prescription and over-the-counter, up to date. CareOregon provides a free tool to help you keep track. It’s called the MEDS Chart, and you can download a copy at http://bit.ly/CO-Rx020819-MEDS-Chart. • Write down any symptoms and questions you have. • Be prepared to talk about the results of any screenings you’ve had, and ask about any you should have. • Talk about your treatment and daily routines, such as food and exercise, and ask if there are any changes you should make to improve your screening test numbers.

County passes emergency ordinance in the interest of protecting neighbors from nuisance livestock damage JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

If you’ve had escaped livestock end up on your property to cause a nuisance and weren’t sure what to do about it, the Columbia County Board of Commissioners has now ensured there is an ordinance on the books to define how to deal with the problem. The commissioners unanimously approved the new Columbia County Livestock at Large Nuisance Ordinance after a public hearing on Oct. 30 based on an emergency clause that stated the ordinance was “immediately necessary for the health, safety and welfare of residents of Columbia County, an emergency is declared to exist, and it shall become effective immediately upon its adoption.” The ordinance was prompted by concerns brought to the board by two property owners near Lind-

berg Road in Clatskanie who have had continual issues with pigs and dogs coming onto their property and running amok. “This past spring, we returned home from a trip to find our front yard missing about a 500-square-foot area of grass from a visit from the pigs,” property owner Kathi Mattinen told the board during an Oct. 9 meeting. “My husband fertilized and

watered the grass back to life, which took more than two months. The damage was not nearly as severe as what I am showing you happened this past weekend through yesterday.” Mattinen went on to explain that the previous day, she’d taken photos and video of three, 300lb pigs digging and rooting foot-deep holes in her yard. She estimated the repairs would cost the family

around $3,000 to repair. Her neighbors, Rick and Laura Erickson, estimated the damages to their property would total $4,000. “Rick has spent the last three days trying to patch the yard back together and last night, they came in and tore everything up again,” Laura Erickson told the commissioners via e-mail on Oct. 18 with accompanying photographic documentation of the

damage to their yard. Mattinen said she was told by Chief Deputy Ryan Murphy there was “absolutely nothing” that his office could do “without an ordinance to back them up.” The new ordinance now authorizes “the Animal Control Officer and other authorized persons in the County to issue citations for violation” of the ordinance, and to “seize, impound and dispose

of livestock found to be at large.” It goes on to state the ordinance “shall be liberally construed and interpreted to give full effect to that policy and purpose.” Commissioner Margaret Magruder expressed her disappointment with the situation that prompted the ordinance and the lack of respect the neighbors had for their fellow man in allowing their livestock to commit the damage on Lindberg Road. Commissioner Henry Heimuller, who’d done research to fast-track the ordinance by emergency proclamation, agreed. “The bottom line is these are folks not taking care of each other and therefore requiring us to do what we have to do, and that is to create boundaries and build fences for them by law,” Heimuller said. “It shouldn’t have to be done that way, but we also have to look at protecting those folks who are in neighborhoods where folks are taking care of things.”

Columbia County property tax statements mailed, payments due Nov. 15 The Columbia County Finance and Taxation Department recently sent taxpayers their annual property tax statement. Payments are due by November 15. Property taxes pay for a number of critical services. These include public safety (law enforcement, fire and emergency services), parks, schools, refuse disposal, recycling, public transportation, public defense, elections, community justice and a host of other important municipal services. Columbia County will collect $78,991,571 in taxes from both businesses and private landowners this year. But the majority of that amount doesn’t stay in county coffers – only 9.37 percent, or roughly $7.4 million goes into the county’s general fund. An additional 4.00 percent, or $3.1 million, goes to the Jail Operation Fund from the local option levy approved by county voters. General fund dollars

largely pay for county law enforcement and public safety, including Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, jail operations and the district attorney’s office. The remainder pays for general county administration, including the assessor’s office, land development services, juvenile services and the county commission. More than 85 percent of property tax funds collected are distributed to local schools, cities and special districts, such as those that manage 911 services or soil and water conservation, to name a few. Here’s the breakdown: Schools $ 35,787,164 45 percent Fire districts $ 13,704,221 - 17 percent Columbia County government $ 10,562,885 - 13 percent City governments $ 7,750,131 - 10 percent Special districts $

5,987,451 – 8 percent Urban renewal $ 3,803,976 - 5 percent Drainage/Special Assessments $ 1,395,743 - 2 percent TOTAL - $78,991,571 Columbia County has 99 tax code areas that are comprised of various combinations of taxing districts that serve that area. Therefore, where your property is located dictates the rate and type of taxes you pay. City dwellers can often pay more than rural property owners because of local taxes that go to parks, libraries or local voter-approved bonds, among other benefits. On the top left of your property tax statement is your code number. To see the exact charges for your specific code, go to the county Assessor’s webpage at columbiacountyor.gov and open the 2019-20 Summary of Assessment & Tax Roll. The document contains a list of all agencies in the county

that receive the taxes. The vast majority of taxes – more than 45 percent – goes towards education, including five school districts, one educational service district and Portland Community College. Fire districts receive more than 17 percent of the total. These districts cover

the entire county, from Vernonia to Clatskanie to Scappoose. The county tax assessor, an elected official, regulates property taxes and bases them on the most recent property value assessment for homes, businesses and land. The assessor determines how often assess-

ments are performed, and what percentage of property value is taxed. For more information about your Columbia County tax statement, or if you believe your property tax assessment was unfair, contact the county Assessor’s office at 503-397-2240.

Rainier students selected for all-state band and choir

Photo: Madison Keezer-Birmingham

Middle school students Hunter Gutenberger, and Kadence Stout, both in eighth grade, were accepted into the middle school all-state band and middle school all-state treble choir, respectively.

Vaughn, 12th grade and Placido, ninth grade, will perform with the all-state symphonic band on Sunday, Jan. 19, 2020 at the First Baptist Church in Eugene. Vaughn was accepted for trombone, duPlessis for tenor sax and Placido for oboe. Rehearsals start on Friday, Jan. 17 and will run through the weekend until the Sunday performance. Placido has also been accepted into the district high school honor band for OMEA District 3, Northwestern Oregon. “I feel an immense sense of pride in these students that have taken on this challenge to learn the music all outside and on their own time,” Madison Keezer-Birmingham, Director of Bands and Choirs at RJSHS said. To get accepted, students had to audition in an intensive process. Students were given an audition sheet in September with three music excerpts, a chromatic scale and two different etudes, and had roughly

Five Rainier Jr./Sr. High School students, Kadence Stout, Hunter Gutenberger, Robert duPlessis, Jr., Austin Vaughn and Kat Placido, have been selected for various allstate ensembles, honor music groups run by the Oregon Music Education Association (OMEA). Middle school students Stout and Gutenberger, both in eighth grade, will rehearse and perform in Eugene, Oregon from Thursday, Jan. 16 through Friday, Jan. 17, 2020. Stout, accepted into the all-state middle school treble choir, will perform at The First United Methodist Church in Eugene. Gutenberger, accepted into the all-state middle school band for clarinet, will perform at the First Baptist Church in Eugene. High school students duPlessis, Jr., 12th grade,

a month to practice them. They recorded their audition and sent it to OMEA. Students are judged on a variety of factors, like tone quality, timing, tuning and accuracy, according to Keezer-Birmingham. Those who were accepted were notified by email last week. Keezer-Birmingham said nearly 1,000 students audition for a band that will be capped at around 150. “Generally, there’s a lot more entries than there are slots available,” Keezer-Birmingham said. One of the high school students, Placido, has been looking forward to this experience for a while. Her older brother, now a music major, was very involved in music while growing up, and was able to show Placido the ropes. “He prepared me for auditioning, so I had a little bit of a good look at everything before I got into it,” Placido said. It can take students a few

tries to get into these selective groups. That’s what happened with Vaughn, who tried out for the all-state choir the first time his sophomore year, didn’t make it, but then was accepted last year for trombone into the All-Northwest honor band, a biennial music conference for all six states in the Northwest that is especially selective, run by the National Association for Music Education. “That was a really, really awesome experience,” Vaughn said. “So I’m very excited to go to this year too.” Participating in these groups means meeting students from all over Oregon, staying in a hotel with them and performing together in a different, more professional setting than a school setting. For some, this experience is about camaraderie. For others, it is yet another step on a lifelong musical journey. That’s the story for duPlessis, who wants to pursue music as a career, hopefully

as a music educator, like his teacher Keezer-Birmingham. “My plan after high school is to become a music teacher and teach around the Oregon area,” duPlessis said. “I will also try to be playing in a band of some sort, jazz, symphonic, or singing. Either way, I will stay involved in music as much as possible.” The all-state band can be a capstone experience for some, and a launching pad for additional music opportunities for others. Placido, for example, said she wants to get as much honor band music experience as possible in the hopes of joining the Oregon Ambassadors of Music program, sponsored by the University of Oregon, a selective program where student musicians tour and perform in several countries in Europe over the course of two weeks. Middle school students Gutenberger and Stout are also looking forward to the

experience. Stout, who was already a member of the district middle school honor band last year, said Keezer-Birmingham approached him sometime last year to tell him about the all-state band. Gutenberger decided to try out, and was accepted. “Really, I’m just looking forward to meeting the band and getting to know a few more kids,” Gutenberger said. Gutenberger plays the clarinet now and said he will continue music in high school and is thinking about taking up another instrument. Stout, who joined the school choir last school year, said she wants to pursue singing as a career, which inspired her to join all-state treble choir. “I thought, ‘Hey, I heard it’s really hard to get into all-state, and if I’m accepted then, great experience, and then it’s one step closer to my dream,’” Stout said.

Obituaries Angelino Bonilla Acoba Loving father, grandfather and husband Angelino (Tony) Bonilla Acoba passed away in his sleep in the comfort of his home on October 31st. He was born in Vintar, Illocos Norte and became a citizen of the US in 1967. His school years were spent in Kahlihi on the Island of Oahu in Hawaii.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Cassimira, and father, Nicasio. Angelino spent 30 years

as a carmen and foreman at Union Pacific Railroad, having to start an early retirement due to impeding health issues. He spent much of his retirement in the outdoors camping and fishing the banks of the Columbia. When he wasn’t fishing, or spending time at the beach with his wife, he was spending his time playing make believe games and reading with his granddaughter and telling her she was full of

green cheese! Angelino was an enormously loved husband, father and grandfather and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He was always full of laughter and generosity and wouldn’t think twice about helping out those he loved, family or friends.

Nancy Ann Conner

March 6, 1953 ~ Oct. 29, 2019 On the morning of October 29, 2019 Nancy, left for her morning walk. Little did we know, she would be walking straight into the arms of our LORD Jesus Christ. Nancy passed that evening, with her loving family by her side. She was 66 years of age. Nancy was born March 6, 1953 to Tom and Mabel Ahlf, in Astoria, Oregon. As their only child together, Nancy was the apple of Tom’s eye. As a graduate of St. Helens High school, Nancy attended Western Business College for two years, then gaining employment with First National Bank in 1973. Nancy was one of the first ladies in the banking industry as a woman in power and she was recognized as St. Helens Businesswoman of the year in 1988. She later got out of the banking customer service side and into operations of banking. Traveling was part of her career and she spent days, sometimes weeks away from home. She retired from Wells Fargo in 2015 after 42 years. Nancy married Doug Hegele in 1973, then ended that marriage in 1981. Along the way she gave birth to two beautiful children, Lisa and Jeremiah. Nancy married Floyd Conner in 1987. As a family, they grew and spent many years together creating so many wonderful memories. Nancy was an avid run-

ner and walker, competing hundreds of races. She did these, not for show, but for the love. She earned so many medals that now hang proudly throughout the house. Floyd and Nancy would compete in the Hood-to Coast event in the 80’s and into the 90’s with the team ‘Numb & Dumb’ before the Hood-to Coast grew into what it is today. She later captained ‘Soul Builders’ a team made up of church members, including daughter Lisa. She even did a 5k while on a cruise in Alaska. Yeah, on the ship! Mom left us doing what she loved to do. Nancy loved her grandkids, probably more than anything. She was just beginning to enjoy retirement, traveling with Floyd, attending the kids’ games and activities. Nancy was a loving wife, mother and grandmother (na-na). She

attended many Stratton family reunions with her parents, and children alike. They often visited her grandparents in Arkansas as a child. She and Floyd would take a yearly trip to Montana to visit friends and family. Nancy was very active in the church, just like her parents. She wore many hats around Bethany. She was loved there so much and will be missed dearly by all. Nancy was proceeded in death by her parents Tom and Mabel; brothers Gene, Thomas, and Frankie; and sister Sherri. Surviving Nancy is husband Floyd; daughter Lisa (Richard) Tracy; son Jeremiah (Jennifer) Hegele; step-son Brett (Polly) Conner; grandkids Sarah and Danni Tracy, and Cameron and Abby Conner; brother James (Betty) Chappelle; and sister Sandra (Don) Rosendahl. Memorial services will be held at 1 p.m. on Fri., November 8, 2019 at Bethany Lutheran Church. We will then go outside to Bethany Memorial Cemetery where Nancy will be laid to rest. Ladies of Bethany will provide lunch/refreshments in the church basement following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Bethany Lutheran Church memorial fund in Nancy’s name.
