Election 2020: Council, commission transition JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net MONIQUE MERRILL chronicle2@countrymedia.net

Unofficial results from the Nov. 3 election indicate a leadership changes at the city and county level. Within St. Helens, unofficial results indicate two new faces are likely to join the city council: Patrick Birkle and Jessica Chilton. Birkle will replace Keith Locke, who decided not to run, in position 2 and Chilton will replace Ginny Carlson in position 4. Having served on the budget committee with the city for six years, Birkle said he is ready to assume more responsibility and be a voice for the community. “I’m humbled and honored to have won the election,” Birkle said. “As a councilor I will promise people I will listen, and I will listen to understand.” Birkle was up against Mark Gundersen and received about 400 more votes than him. His priorities for the upcoming session revolve around public input, inclusion and engagement, he said. He wants to bring a greater level of transparency to the council and city operations so residents have a better understanding and more active voice in determining how resources are used, he said. Birkle said he has lobbied the council for years to try and change the schedule of the meetings. Currently, the council meets the first and third Wednesday of the

month and has a work session at 1 p.m. with a regular session at 7 p.m. As a substitute teacher, Birkle said the schedule is not ideal, and also likely prevents others who work during the day from being involved in the discussions before the topics are voted on later that same evening. “I think that does not provide sufficient time for citizens to provide their input between the work session and regular session,” he said. “I would like to have the council consider a longer time span between when the council is presented information and discusses it to give citizens more time to respond.”

County commission At the county level, results indicate a change for one commission position and a second term for another. Results from the Nov. 3 election place incumbent Margaret Magruder 3,000 votes in the lead over challenger Brandee Dudzic for Columbia County Board of Commissioners, Position 1. Magruder said she attributes her victory to voter confidence. “They feel that I am dedicated and that I am working for the good of Columbia County and they have given the go-ahead to keep on going for the next four

years.” Magruder said her she is maintaining the priorities she has established as county commissioner. “I have always been working for the good of the county,” she said, “helping to bring more jobs to the county, which means more revenue to provide services the county needs and desires.” In the race for Columbia County Commission, Position 3, the unofficial results show challenger Casey Garrett with a lead of just over 1,000 votes over incumbent Alex Tardif. Garrett said he was waiting to see the final unofficial results but he felt confident of victory.

“I don’t see how I could lose at this point, which is a good thing,” he said. “I am not taking any thing for granted, there are still votes left to count, but it is moving in the right direction. I am feeling pretty good about it.” Garrett said he is now preparing to take office as a new county commissioner. “I have a few months to get things in order before I take office but I am going hit the ground running,” he said. Garrett said he will have three priorities as a Columbia County Commissioner. “To work on consistently improving customer service, develop more recreation access to our public lands and other areas around the county, and to be a part of the team to promote good paying jobs in the county,” he said. “I look forward to a smooth transition.” How Columbia County voted Columbia County voters as a whole favored Republican candidates in state, national and district-wide races. A majority of voters chose Republican candidates in the partisan races, and voted against statewide results in each race.

COVID cases spiking said. “We’re not in a good position moving into the winter.” The county averages between four to five new cases a day, he said, and there’s been a small uptick in virus-related hospitalizations. The count is at 17 now and had previously hovered around nine or 10. The influx of cases brings the county’s total case count to 314 since the pandemic began. There have been two pandemic-related deaths in the county, one occurred in early August and the other in October. The deaths are a reminder of the severity of illness the virus can cause and a reminder not to underestimate the virus, Paul said in a release. The rise of cases also affects how quickly students will be able to return to school, even with relaxed metrics released by the state. The metrics look at case rates over a

The state has continued to break its own record for highest number of new COVID-19 cases reported in a day—988 were reported Saturday, Nov. 7, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). Three of those cases were within Columbia County. On Sunday, Nov. 8, the OHA reported 874 new cases with six of those cases from Columbia County. On Monday, Nov. 9, 723 were reported in the state, four in the county. In all, the OHA reported 51,155 cases in Oregon since the onset of the pandemic. The surge of COVID-19 cases locally, statewide and nationally raise concerns, Columbia County Director of Public Health Michael Paul said at a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, Nov. 4. “It’s not good news at all,” Paul

The riverwalk will extend along the Columbia River in the Old Town District of St. Helens.

Riverwalk project moving forward MONIQUE MERRILL chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The St. Helens City Council approved the riverwalk request for qualifications, allowing architecture and engineering firms to submit their qualifications for the project to be reviewed by the city at the Oct. 21 meeting. Plans for a riverwalk development have been brewing for

years. In 2015 the city purchased 225-acres along the river, including the 22-acre Veneer Property that was once the site of a plywood veneer plant. The Veneer Property is key to the riverwalk project due to its proximity to downtown. Conceptual plans for the riverwalk include trails, a new amphitheater and green space. A conceptual plan of what the area may end up looking like was released in May. Associate planner Jennifer Dim-

sho clarified that the drawings were conceptual and formal designs will be drawn by the firm selected by the city after receiving qualifications and conducting interviews. “If there’s a desire to actually incorporate water access for fishing, or a beach is another thing people have mentioned, those things will be brought up through the design

New housing era in St. Helens MONIQUE MERRILL chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The reign of single-family dwelling units in St. Helens. and across most of Oregon, is over. House Bill 2001, approved by voters in 2019, aims to increasing housing diversity and affordability by requiring cities with populations over 10,000 to adopt duplex-friendly zoning. City Planner Jacob Graichen presented the St. Helens City Council with the options the city has moving forward at its Nov. 4 work session. Graichen said he has been discussing the bill with the planning commission, and needs the input of the council so the city can develop and adopt a new code by June 20, 2021, or the state-created one will be applied. Essentially, each lot that allows single-family dwelling is obligated under the bill to allow duplexes as well. “The U.S. has had single family zoning for a long time, and it’s historic for St. Helens because next year it ends,” Graichen said. The bill specifically requires that cities over 10,000— “medium sized”— must adopt the new rules. “In these three rural counties surrounding the metro area, we’re the lone soldier ttend of our dealingone with this,” Graichen said.

$128 million for pandemic relief

Courtesy photo

The Oregon Emergency Board is composed of members from the Oregon Senate and the Oregon House and has power to allocate state general fund resources. The E-Board meets regularly at the state capitol building in Salem. STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net

The Oregon Legislative Emergency Board has approved more than $128 million to help Oregonians impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The approval includes funding for childcare providers, Oregonians in need of shelter, small businesses, long-term care providers and victims of domestic and sexual violence. “This funding comes at a critical time as COVID-19 cases continue to spike in Oregon,” Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek said. “As winter approaches, it’s particularly important we passed additional funding to help people without permanent housing. We’ve been facing a statewide shelter emergency for some time and the pandemic has made the situation even more dire. We have a lot of work ahead of us to solve this emergency but it’s an important step.” During its Monday, Nov. 9, meeting in Salem, the state emergency board approved $35 million from the Oregon’s Emergency Fund to support the Project Turnkey

Statewide Pandemic and Homelessness Response. The Oregon Community Foundation will use funding to support the acquisition, retrofitting and potential operation of hotel and motel properties to be used as emergency shelter. The funding is in addition to $30 million the Emergency Board approved on Oct. 23 to begin Project Turnkey in wildfireaffected areas. The E Board also approved the following allocations from the state’s share of federal funds available through the Coronavirus Relief Fund: • $45 million for Childcare Provider Assistance to support the increased costs facing childcare providers facing economic and operational challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. • $20 million for a third grant to the Oregon Community Foundation for the Oregon Worker Relief Fund, which will make additional payments to workers who are ineligible for wage replacement payments from traditional unemployment insurance programs. • $20 million to provide additional financial assistance to small businesses

economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The board previously allocated $25.6 million for COVID-19 Emergency Business Assistance in July. • $5 million to help cover long term care provider costs for routine COVID-19 staff testing. • $2.4 million for one-time COVID-19 baseline testing of long term care facility staff and residents. • $1 million to support victims of domestic and sexual violence. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for increased domestic and sexual violence. The board previously dedicated $2 million to support victims in April. In July, the Oregon Legislative Emergency Board approved more than $200 million in federal Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) dollars to provide further economic support for Oregonians and small businesses impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. To learn how the pandemic funding might help local businesses, contact the Columbia County Economic Team at 503-410-1061.

Garden Plots: Voles and owls State sends out $3.2 million in unclaimed funds swale, bait them with peanut butter, and cover the swale back up. Voles, unlike rats, aren’t very savvy and you can trap vole upon vole with the same traps in the same place. There are a lot of issues with vole baits injuring nontarget animals and there are few if any baits registered for home use much beyond the immediate area adjacent to structures. If you feel you can use them

CHIP BUBL Chronicle Guest Column

Voles continue to be a problem Meadow mice, more properly known as voles, are short tailed and plump. They can’t climb much so spend their lives in shallow tunnels or foraging on the surface. Their populations rise and fall for reasons that are still obscure. Right now, numbers seem higher than average. Voles cause a lot of damage in winter. When food gets scarce and especially when there is snow on the ground, they turn to young trees and shrubs for dinner. After snow melts, there are often 2-3 –inch vole holes in patches, evidence of a lot of activity in the area. Their gnawing can girdle trees at the soil line or remove roots. Next spring, your trees leaf out but without roots and the “plumbing” in the stem, can’t move water and they die. Voles also love carrots, beets, and potatoes left too long in the ground. To reduce damage, you have to make voles uncomfortable. Cut grass short near trees so voles are more visible to the owls, cats, and hawks they fear. Trap moles since their tunnels provide safe access for voles to roots. Collapse the tunnels if possible. Finally, be careful in the use of mulches including landscape fabric and black plastic - they provide vole cover. I have had several recent calls involving voles and mulch. One was a blueberry patch with grass clippings piled around the plants to conserve moisture. But covering soil in a 6-8 inch radius of the stems encouraged voles to gnaw without fear. A similar thing happened with a very heavy bark mulch application around young fruit trees. Most of the trees were a total loss. Finally, I once visited with a gardener that planted a new rose bed. He worked the soil, put in a drip irrigation system, and covered the bed with landscape fabric. Then he planted his new roses through holes in the fabric. In the second year of growth, the gardener started to “high prune” his roses in November. As he pruned, he felt them to be poorly anchored. He tugged on one and it pulled right out. It had virtually no roots. It was much the same with the rest of the roses. The voles had been in food heaven, eating rose roots that they dearly love, protected by the fabric from any predators. The fabric was removed and all but a few of the 25 or so roses had to be replaced. Trapping voles can work if pursued persistently. Standard mouse traps will work. Dig a shallow “swale” about six inches deep, about two feet wide and four feet long. Put some apples pieces in there and then cover it with a piece of plywood or some other cover that you can keep in place, leaving openings at both ends. If you see vole feeding on the apple pieces, place the traps in the

in your situation, please read and follow all instructions. The bait will need to be placed where nothing else but voles can get to it. Encouraging barn owls

have noticed that some are rather straight forward affairs and others have a lot of extra zig-zaggy silk added to the structure. It is the business of biologists to speculate on these subjects. Are the extra strands of silk there for reinforcement? The best evidence indicates that the “stabilimenta” is not rein-forcing material. So why do certain spiders expend the time and resources to produce it? Because they catch more bugs. A scientist monitored the prey interception rates by noting the damaged areas in the web. He found that those decorated with the silk strands had 72% more “hits” from flying insects than those without the extra silk. His theory is that the extra strands reflect more ultraviolet light, making those webs more attractive to the flying insects that orient themselves to UV. These insects include many pollinating in-sects that use UV patterns from plants to guide them.

The Oregon Department of State Lands announced that has mailed approximately $3.2 million in unclaimed funds to nearly 11,000 Oregonians, marking a distribution of unclaimed property that is a first of its kind for Oregon. Individuals who received a letter in October informing them of forthcoming unclaimed funds will soon receive a check in the mail from Oregon’s Unclaimed Property Program, administered by the Oregon Department of State Lands. The checks, which range between $50 - $2,500, are being mailed to current and former Oregonians. Each check represents a unique sum of unclaimed funds — referred to as unclaimed property — owed to each person by a business or organization that was unable to return the money to its owner. Common examples of unclaimed property include uncashed checks, forgotten bank accounts, security deposits, tax refunds, credit balances, investment accounts, payroll checks, refunds and more. When businesses lose contact with their patrons for a certain time, they are required under state law to turn over funds held for those individuals to Oregon’s Unclaimed Property Program. The funds are held in a central repository until they are reunited with their owner or heir — typically when a claim is filed. This is the first time the Oregon Unclaimed Property Program is distributing funds

directly to owners who have not first filed an unclaimed property claim. The state determined that, due to the financial circumstances many are facing, property that met certain criteria would be mailed to the associated owners. The criteria included a deliverable address. For cases in which the October letter was undeliverable because an individual no longer lived at that address, that person was removed from the final mailing list. However, they can still claim their property at unclaimed.oregon.gov. Recent improvements to the Unclaimed Property Program’s software have made the distribution pos-

sible. This initiative follows the lead of five other states that have successfully tested directly sending unclaimed money to owners. Individuals who received a letter in October should contact the Department of State Lands if they do not receive their check by the end of November. Checks may be delayed for those who received a letter and opted to file a claim at unclaimed.oregon.gov, rather than wait for the funds to be automatically mailed. Oregon holds more than $700 million in unclaimed funds for 3 million owners and receives more unclaimed funds every year from reporting businesses. The state encourages all current and former Oregonians to check for unclaimed property at unclaimed.oregon.gov. Questions about unclaimed funds can be directed to the Oregon Unclaimed Property Program via email, claims@ dsl.state.or.us or phone, 503-986–5251 or 503-9865200. Information can also be found at unclaimed. oregon.gov. The Oregon Unclaimed Property Program is administered by the Oregon Department of State Lands. The program, which has been in existence since 1957, works with business to ensure they are compliant with Oregon unclaimed property laws, while returning unclaimed funds to current and former Oregonians.

Barn owls were once considerably more common around Columbia County. The transition from the oldfashioned hip-roofed bard to the modern pole barn has removed some nesting sites. In addition, the conversion of farms to residential living has removed lots of farm structure period. Yet, these birds are tremendously valuable. They will eat 5-10 rodents per day. Besides, how can you resist the chance to see their ghostly flight through a moonlit night? Or the opportunity to collect and take apart owl pellets to see the skulls of their prey within. This link describes design and placement for barn owl boxes. They have researched the size that works best for them and other issues with having them adopted by the owls. The best time to install them is late fall through February. What a great weekend project.
