Serving Columbia County since 1881
City narrows down future police station site options
Jeremy Ruark/The Chronicle
The current police station, located at 1271 Columbia Boulevard, which will be upgraded to a new facility. STAFF REPORT chroniclenews@countrymedia.net
The City of St. Helens is continuing to determine the most viable site for the relocation and re-build of a new police station, after the completion of a feasibility study by Mackenzie, Inc. the consultant the city contracted with in March. Mackenzie originally examined four sites for the new facility, including the current site. During a work session held Nov. 6, St. Helens City Council reviewed the potential of the four
sites at 1771 Columbia Blvd, in the North Holton District, 1271 Columbia Blvd., the site of the current police station, Old Portland Road across from the Recreation Center and at Oregon Street adjacent to the CC Rider Station. The Council used an important factor scoring criteria guide in ranking each of the potential sites that include Cost of Land/ Site Development, Size, Shape, Potential for Multi-Use, Public Access to the Site-Vehicle, Public Access to the Site-Transit, Public Access to he Site Pedestrian/Vehicle, visibility and Prominence,
and Proximity to Government Functions. Matt Brown, Finance Director, said during the work session that Mackenzie was interested in doing more detailed work on a specific site, such as building out the floor plan of one specific site in particular, in order to present city councilors with a more condensed plan in the future. The review also included positioning facility on site, security, traffic congestion, expansion to adjacent sites, proximity to geographic center, current ownership, land use and response time.
City officials said in late June that at the potential cost for the 22,000 square foot building is $8.8 million, which could be funded through bonds, existing cash, or other investments. But the officials said that cost would be based on location and design of the new police station. The new site could also be used as a joint facility for the municipal court and Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR), although the chances of it being home to CRFR would be contingent on if the space could be big enough, according to Brown and Brian
Greenway, St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) Police Chief. During a work session in June, City Finance Director Matt Brown presented a map of where the most common areas that police service calls originate, which Brown said is key factor for councilors to consider when choosing the location of the new police station. Those service call sites include, the Walmart area, Forest Park Apartments and the St. Helens Motel 6.

County forms Census Committee JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
A new committee is forming in Columbia County to engage in outreach to ensure as complete a census count as possible in 2020. As part of a national project, this is the first time it has been recommended communities form a Complete County Census Committee to improve on the information gathering process. A census count happens once every ten years, intended to count every resident in the United States. The decennial census was first taken in 1790, as mandated by the Constitution, according to census.gov. The census counts our population and households to provide a basis for reap-
portioning congressional seats, redistricting, and distributing more than $675 billion in federal funds annually to support states, counties and communities’ vital programs. “We need high participation for all kinds of reasons,” Claire Catt said, who was tapped by Commissioner Margaret Magruder to spearhead the committee. She said the more complete the count, the more likely it is that the county will see federal funding for things like housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy. This year, the government will send out four mailings to households, once a week, beginning in mid-March. Those mailers will encourage households to complete their census count online, and if it is not completed after the fourth mailer, a paper version of the census form will be sent. After that, if not completed, a tabulator will come to the household and knock on the door. There will also be a toll-free number set up in multiple languages for households that may not have internet access. However, letters will not be sent to those with PO Boxes, which may prove problematic for rural communities like Rainier, Clatskanie and Columbia City. Thus, the forming of the committee. Catt, who also serves as
Director of Columbia County United Way, said “quite a variety of individuals” have been contacted to join. Catt said those individuals include local elected officials and employees, the PUDs, local media, local school districts, local post masters, representatives from the faith community, and a variety of nonprofits. “This matters so much to the non-profits that we serve,” Catt said. “With $675 billion awarded in federal funds annually, from businesses to local area hospitals and other health services, having complete counts is right in line with the United Way mission and it’s good for everyone.” Catt foresees obstacles around folks who don’t trust the internet, or those who are more rural who may not have internet access at all. Catt is urging the community to get involved. Those interested in volunteering are asked to attend a meeting at 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Community Action Team, located at 125 N. 17th Street in St. Helens. Catt said anyone can participate, and the committee will meet three times to work on engaging as many people to work on outreach as possible. “If you can’t volunteer, remind yourself and your neighbors that census mailers will start rolling out in mid-March,” Catt said.

RSVP names Volunteer of the Month for November and Special Recognition Award
Christine Menges/The Chronicle
The St. Helens Middle School campus under construction earlier this year. St. Helens School district is suing PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. for botched asbestos removal.
St. Helens School District sues asbestos removal company CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net
The St. Helens School District (SHSD) is suing PBS Engineering and Environmental, Inc. (PBS) for failure to remove all asbestos at the former St. Helens Middle School site during its two contracted periods in 2009 and 2018 to perform asbestos abatement, according to a lawsuit filed on Oct. 29 at the Columbia County Circuit Court. According to the lawsuit, PBS issued an “Asbestos Abatement Close Report” and confirmed to SHSD’s representatives in July of 2019 that all asbestos abatement had been completed. “In fact, it was not,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit, claiming negligence and negligent misrepresentation, estimates damages at $389,654. “In reliance on PBS’s repeated confirmation (first in 2009 and again in 2019) that all asbestos in the Middle School had been properly abated, SHSD went forward with demolishing the building including the concrete slab. In fact, ‘hot’ asbestos containing mastic remained, in the areas that PBS had previously approved, in concentrations that were unac-
ceptable under state law,” the lawsuit states. As a result, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is requiring SHSD to perform asbestos remediation at the middle school again. Additional work to be completed will include abatement of all concrete slab containing non-asbestos tile installed over the “hot” mastic, as well as removal of residual mastic still present on other areas of concrete slab. SHSD will also be required to remove concrete pieces with hot mastic from 150,000 square feet of sand by hand and move 1,800 cubic yards of concrete debris to an approved landfill, according to the lawsuit. An additional consequence is that the concrete debris pile that remained after the demolition of the middle school is now contaminated, and cannot be used as fill on the site as originally planned, the lawsuit states. “Now, the debris must be disposed of and new fill material must be purchased for use in the construction of the new school buildings,” the lawsuit states. SHSD representatives have estimated $329,654 to perform the work required by
DEQ, as well as $60,000 to attain new fill, according to the lawsuit. On Friday, Nov. 8, SHSD released a statement about the asbestos removal. “On October 4, 2019, the St. Helens School District was contacted by The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regarding the presence of suspected asbestos containing materials in demolition debris at the middle school site,” the statement reads. The statement also specified that one type of black mastic, usually deemed safe, became unsafe when exposed during construction. “Testing of material indicated that black mastic associated with attaching vinyl floor tile to the concrete subfloor, which is considered safe enough to be exempt from regulation in its intact non-friable form, was now exposed in building debris. Even though the mastic is generally pliable and unlikely to be rendered friable, the District has been working through remediation steps under the guidance of DEQ in accordance with Oregon Administrative Rules and will continue to do so until the matter is resolved to the satisfaction of both the District and DEQ.”
Informational meeting coming on St. Helens Brownfields Assessment Program The St. Helens community is invited to attend an informational meeting about the St. Helens Brownfields Assessment Program on Wednesday, November 20, 2019, at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held in the St. Helens Council Chambers before the regularly scheduled City Council meeting. On May 31, 2017, the City of St. Helens was awarded a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess sites that have been contaminated by potentially hazardous substances, pollutants or other contaminants left behind due to previous development on the land. The sites are known as brownfields. These properties often remain underdeveloped and underutilized because of the barriers they face based on known or suspected contamination. These EPA grant resources fund environmental work at-no-cost to the property owner to assess the presence, character, and extent of contamination and, if necessary, identify a clear path to environmental remediation through cleanup. This environmental work stimulates economic development in the community. At this point in the project timeline, approximately 80 percent of the grant funds have been utilized on professional environmental assessments on public and private properties. At this meeting, City staff and an environmental consultant will make a brief presentation about the outcomes of these environmental assessments, which will be followed by an opportunity for the City Council or the public to ask questions and provide input on the program. Although there may be limited funding available in this grant cycle, if you or someone you know owns
property that will benefit from professional environmental assessment, you are encouraged to discuss resources that may be available to you with staff that will be at the meeting. Brochures with more information about

Volunteer of the month Bob and Becky Mikesh have been named Columbia County RSVP’s Volunteers of the Month for November. The My Fair Lady court surprised the Mikesh’s at Community Meals on Nov. 5, where they volunteer together as cooks. Bob served our country starting in 1971 when he signed up for the Navy See Bees. He put in his four years and came back eight years later to sign up for the Army, where he served another 29 years, including one tour in Iraq. Becky supported his service from home all that time. After 33 years of serving our country, they both continue to serve those in need in our community. When asked about the ward, Becky relayed surprise. “We were caught off guard. We get more back than we put out,” she said.
“We enjoy helping people. This is what we enjoy doing together, is cooking.” Bob was equally as flabbergasted by the award. “It was beyond me,” he said. “This is our pleasure. We enjoy it. It’s not that much to put out to help somebody. It’s almost on autopilot now.” According to Kathy Bauska, the pair have almost been cooking since the very beginning of the establishment of Community Meals, or about seven or eight years. “Even when they moved to Vancouver for two years, they drove all the way over to St. Helens to cook their famous meatloaf,” Bauska said. The Mikesh’s were cooking their meat loaf the night they were surprised with the award, and attendees said the room was packed. “We never even cook meatloaf at home,” Bob said.
Special recognition award RSVP was able to present a second Volunteer of the Month award to Debbie Johnstone at the CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) meeting on Nov. 7. The My Fair Lady court presented the award to Johnstone with a loud applause from her other CERT team members. Johnstone is a busy volunteer in her community; in the past she has volunteered to help kids read, and currently she is also a grief counselor for inmates at the jail. According to Debbie, “I think volunteering is the best thing you can do for yourself. Giving back to others pays you back. It gives you so much enrichment and enjoyment. CERT was a big support to me” Johnstone said, adding she enjoys helping those in jail to look at life differently.

Voices of the Community A dog or a rat? As someone that has had dogs in my family most of my life, I find Mr. Trumps remarks about the killed ISIS leader as having ‘died like a dog’ extremely offensivehis political remark about a candidate ‘quitting like a dog’ is also disgusting. Both are revealing about his inner self. A family dog is loving, friendly, protective, smart, deeply loyal, talented, and highly intelligent. A military dog put his life on the line and was injured removing the ISIS terrorist leader; many have died to save their human comrades.
Others have continued to protect while gravely injured. Mr. Trump pretends, but actually exhibits none of those characteristics. The military dogs don’t claim bone spurs out of cowardice. But as this non-politically aligned citizen thinks about it some more, I realize I cannot call him a rat, either- rats have been found to care about their fellows, to share food, to assist other rats in distress, and to protect their families. I am not fond of them, but their approach to life exceeds Mr. Trump’s value system. Charles Bickford Deer Island
Re: I’m mad Dear Mad, I read your editorial and I would like to comment in defense of sex education for children. First of all, this education should be the job of the parents. The problem is that parents do not do this well. They wait too long, they are embarrassed, or they think ignorance will protect their children’s innocence. I am a Woman’s Health Nurse Practitioner/CNM and I have raised five children. I gave my children explicit sex education by the time they were eight,
using proper terms for their body parts and sexual activity. They comported themselves pretty well, protecting themselves and others. I showed them textbook pictures of sexually transmitted diseases and talked to them about the exquisite pain women have when unwanted pregnancy occurs. I am pro-choice, but no pro-abortion. With the proper sex education and free/available contraception) including a long-term implantable contraceptive for men) the decision to have an abortion would be rare. Although homosexual-
ity has been around since the beginning of human history, the issues of sexual identity has become a relatively new and public phenomenon. I personally don’t care what sex a person identifies with, nor do I care what sexual preference a person has. What matters to me is the way they conduct their lives, having respect for the feelings of others and maintaining health boundaries. Another phenomenon that has become a huge problem for us is the internet. It has presented difficulty for kids, especially their ability to maintain their boundar-
ies and their privacy. I also appreciate your religious feelings, but sex education in schools should not be based on religion. That is why the publicschool system bans religious teaching. That also should be done at home. I hope this will clarify someone else’s viewpoints, and I hope your daughter feels more comfortable with the information she gets at school. Growing up is not easy, but constant communication within the family is paramount.

CCMH to lease Mark’s Custom Exteriors facility in St. Helens Mark’s Custom Exteriors, located at 58581 S. Columbia River Highway in St. Helens, will be leasing their facility to Columbia Community Mental Health beginning January 1, 2020. MCE will be moving to their new location in Scappoose, at 33374 Scappoose-Vernonia Highway, as of December of 2019. “As a business owner and community member of Columbia County for over 25 years, we feel it is important to share this exciting news with our customers, fellow community members and partners in business,” states MCE Owners, Mark and Angie Holcomb. “The decision for us to transition to a new facility was part of an opportunity presented to us
by Columbia County Mental Health. CCMH has an incredible Children & Family Program that services our community. When CCMH asked us to utilize our building so they could more suitably facilitate their program for the community, we had a hard time saying no.” In 2009 MCE made their dream building come to life and it has been a functional facility for them for the past 10 years. Mark Holcomb states, “When CCMH approached us, we took careful consideration and thought as to where we want our business to go. We agreed that this was the appropriate time to start building a new office that is more suitable for our needs today.” The new facility at
33374 Scappoose-Vernonia Highway will function as an interim office and showroom while MCE works on constructing a new permanent office space. “We are anxious to share with you the concept of our new modern building which will include office and warehouse space so our staff and crews can more efficiently perform their daily job duties and service our customers better,” states Mark Holcomb. “Our vision for the future of our company is simple: to remain the same family owned and operated business we have been for the last 25 years, providing the highest quality of experience, expert skill and outstanding customer service our partners and customers appreciate.
The Chronicle
We hope you are as excited as we are and look forward to visiting with you at our new location in Scappoose.” Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) will lease the MCE facility as an extension of their main campus. Executive Director, Julia Jackson, plans to use the new space exclusively for Outpatient Children and Family services. “When our realtor Clayton Madey found this space, I was ecstatic. The facility is absolutely breathtaking and really speaks to a safe, therapeutic, and home-like environment for children and families to receive care,” said CCMH Executive Director Julia Jackson. “CCMH has really grown as an agency, and we don’t see that chang-

Notice of Availability of Finding of No Significant Impact SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION Case No.: 19CV37374 service of this summons you have questions, you (FONSI) Lower Columbia Watershed Restoration Project. IN THE CIRCUIT The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS), in partnership with the Columbia Soil and Water Conservation District as the project sponsor, and with cooperation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, announces the availability of a Final Watershed PlanEnvironmental Assessment (EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) to improve water quality and enhance fish and wildlife habitat within a portion of the Columbia-Clatskanie River sub-basin in Northwest Oregon. These improvements will be partially funded through the USDA Regional Conservation Partnership
Program, utilizing the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act of 1954 (PL 83-566) authority. The proposed project will improve and restore the physical, chemical, and biological processes of aquatic, riparian, and wetland habitats through voluntary, localized enhancement and restoration activities. The environmental assessment of this federally assisted action indicates that the project will not cause significant local, regional or national impacts on the environment. As a result of these findings, the NRCS Oregon State Conservationist has determined that the preparation and review of an environmental impacts statement are not needed
for this project. The FONSI has been forwarded to various federal, state and local agencies and interested parties. The FONSI and supporting planning documents are available for public view on the following website: http://bit.ly/ columbiawatershedproject. A hard copy of the FONSI and Watershed Plan are also available at the Columbia SWCD office located at 35285 Millard Road in St. Helens, Oregon. No administrative action on implementation of the proposal will be taken until 30 days after the date of this publication. For questions about this action, contact Leo Preston, NRCS Basin Team Leader, at 503-376-7613 or Leo.Preston@usda.gov

Offbeat Oregon History: Skill, stout shipbuilding kept U.S.S. Peacock shipwreck fatality-free
The U.S.S. Peacock in 1840, during a cruise to Antarctica, stuck in the ice. Chronicle guest column by FINN J.D. JOHN
With all the ships that have come to grief there over the years, and all the sailors who have drowned as a result, it’s a little ironic that the shipwreck that gave Peacock Spit its name was as uneventful as it was. But then, the only reason the U.S.S. Peacock didn’t break into pieces and drown all hands within hours of slamming into the sand was that it was a United States Navy ship. That meant it was crewed by some of the besttrained sailors in the world, and built solidly enough for iron shot to bounce off its sides. Peacock spit isn’t actually a spit, in the common sense of the word. Rather, it’s a spit-shaped sandbar running about half a dozen miles out into the sea on the north side of the mouth of the Columbia River. It’s essentially invisible; the ocean waves crossing it look just like they do everywhere else in the sea; but instead of the ocean being 30 or 40 fathoms deep there, it’s 10 or 15 feet. This is, of course, a big problem if you’re in a ship that draws 16 feet of water. Also, that water depth may not be of much use to your ship, but it’s plenty deep enough for you to drown in. On the day that the U.S.S. Peacock slammed into the spit, the spit as yet had no name. In fact, it wasn’t even a known threat to navigation. It was July 17, 1841, mariners had as yet very little experience with the dangers of the Columbia River Bar. The U.S.S. Peacock was a three-masted sloop of war, 117 feet long, built in 1813 in New York. This was, of course, in the middle of the War of 1812, so the Peacock was stocked with a total of 22 guns, outfitted with a crew of 140 men, and sent to sea to carry the fight to the enemy. After the war was over,
the Peacock patrolled the seas battling with pirate ships and interdicting the slave ships that continued furtively crossing the Atlantic in defiance of the 1807 law outlawing the trade. She was hauled into dry dock and completely rebuilt in 1828 — according to one source, the hull was literally replaced with brand-new wood. At the same time, she was reduced to 10 guns and refitted as an exploring ship. Then, the Navy sent the little warship out on less colorful, but arguably more interesting missions — mapping the world’s trade routes and exploring distant islands. This was the early Victorian period, the 1820s and 1830s, and it was the great age of Naval exploration — Napoleon was defeated, the world was mostly at peace, and Navy ships, in lieu of fighting wars, fanned out across the globe mapping and surveying and exploring, staffed with both warriors and scientists. The H.M.S. Beagle, the 10gun brig on which Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands, was one of these. The U.S.S. Enterprise, on the 1966 television show Star Trek, was clearly inspired by this era, with Science Officer Spock standing in for Darwin and deep interstellar space for the unknown waters of the South Seas. It was on one of these exploratory-and-scientific missions that the U.S.S. Peacock stood out from Oahu, in what was then known to American and British sailors as the Sandwich Islands, bound for Fort George — the port city we know today as Astoria. The Peacock’s captain, Lieutenant William L. Hudson, had been given specific instructions for crossing the bar by another skipper in Oahu. As he approached the shore, he made out the cliffs of Cape Disappointment, and set about following the directions he’d received. And all seemed to be going smooth-

ly, until he saw what looked like breakers just ahead of the ship. Assuming he’d gotten something wrong, Hudson dropped off the wind and sailed northward until the sea was no longer breaking. Then he brought the ship back landward and resumed following his directions. Only, of course, now he wasn’t heading toward the mouth of the river at all. The breakers Hudson saw were most likely combers breaking across the sides of the channel just offshore from the bar, caused by the tide ebbing out into the teeth of the incoming sea. By sailing north until they stopped, Hudson had taken the Pea-

desperate scramble to keep the ship pointing into the seas as they pounded down onto the pinned and doomed ship, slamming her again and again onto the sandy bottom. At one point, an anchor chain broke, causing the Peacock to swing broadside to the combing seas, and most of the crew likely figured they were done for. But the United States Navy has never much gone in for delicate ships, and the Peacock was no exception. She held together as the crew put out a new anchor and dumped weight off the stern, so that the wave action would swing that end around and head the ship into the seas again.
A little later, the inevitable happened: The Peacock struck bottom, about four miles west of shore. cock out of the channel and into the innocuous-looking waters over Peacock Spit. A little later, the inevitable happened: The Peacock struck bottom, about four miles west of shore. The crew scrambled to try to get the ship turned around before she stuck fast. But it was not to be — the ship struck again, and again, and the wind and sea started pushing her broadside to the swells. Hudson ordered his first mate to launch the cutter and take soundings around the ship. While he was doing that, the wind picked up; a summer squall was developing, with gusting winds and even some hail. The tide was still ebbing, and suddenly those “breakers” were picking up the Peacock and slamming her against the sandy bottom as the cutter crew scrambled to get back aboard the ship before their little boat swamped and sank. What followed was a
Then ebb tide was over, and night fell. In the early morning hours the next day, ebb tide came again, and even bigger combers started thundering down on the pinned ship, great walls of green water that carried all before them. The larboard bulwarks were breached, and the spar deck flooded. It seemed inconceivable that the ship could survive the pounding it was taking — surely the Peacock was about to break apart, four miles from land, and drown all hands in this raging sea. But it didn’t happen. The Peacock toughed it out, and when dawn came, and with it the end of the heavy ebb, they lost no time in starting the process of launching lifeboats. They got the first group of three boats off relatively easily. But by the time they returned for more survivors, the seas and currents had picked up again — probably

in time. When they rowed back out to the scene of the shipwreck, hoping to salvage some other things from the Peacock, they found that that last round of ebb-driven combers had finally broken the ship apart. All that was left, sticking up out of the sea, was the cap of her bowsprit. Over the next few days, this, too, sank into the sand of the spit — where the keel and timbers of the Peacock remain to this day, rotting quietly away, having become a part of the invisible peninsula that today bears the Peacock’s name. As for the crew, they were evacuated to Fort George, and the Navy purchased the brig Thomas Perkins as a replacement. On this ship (which they renamed the U.S.S. Oregon) the crew continued their mission.

the next ebb was starting — and they couldn’t reach the ship. They tried several times, until Hudson, worried they’d lose one or more of the boats in the attempt, ran the ensign up the mizzen mast as a signal to break it off. Then came the full ebbdriven pounding once again. Hudson ordered the masts cut away — by now he surely knew well the ship would never sail again — to reduce the pounding. He knew if the ship could just get through this one more round of ebb tide, he and the rest of the crew would likely make it. Luck — along with fantastic ship construction — was with them. The end of the ebb found the Peacock still wallowing in the sea, battered and full of water, but still intact. And now, well after sunset, the lifeboats were finally able to get to the stricken ship and rescue the remaining crew members, along with Hudson, her captain. For the exhausted, shivering mariners, the four-mile rowboat run ended with a reunion with their shipmates around roaring fires that the sailors had lit on shore to warm themselves. The sailors Cedar Chipsbrush had also built several huts to sleep in, and two Garden Mulch Methodist missionaries and a Hudson’s Bay Company Fir & Hemlock Chips agent Cedar from Fort George had arrived with food and drink Bark Dust Garden Mulch and other supplies.

People with a St. Helens Public Library card can now enjoy free wireless internet access at home or on the go thanks to a new mobile hotspot program launched by the Library. The St. Helens Public Library has ten mobile hotspot devices available for patrons to check out. Once the device is turned on, patrons can enjoy free access to Wi-Fi for up to 21 days until the device is due back at the Library. Mobile hotspots are perfect for patrons who lack internet access at home, need Wi-Fi coverage when switching internet service providers, or are going on a trip and want to guarantee access to the internet without relying on public, hotel, or motel WiFi availability. The wireless mobile
hotspots are available for checkout at St. Helens Public Library for 21 days and cannot be renewed. To check out a hotspot, patrons must have an adult library card. Juvenile card holders and Passport Program card holders are not able to check out hotspots at this time. The hotspot devices work with smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras, and printers and are supported on most newer Windows, Mac, and Android operating systems. The rechargeable battery lasts for up to 6.4 hours, and the device is WPA-enabled for increased security. The St. Helens Public Library purchased the hotspots through Mobile Beacon, a nonprofit organization with a mission to affordably connect nonprofits to high-speed
internet access to better serve the world. Working in partnership with nonprofits and community anchor institutions such as libraries, schools, community centers, hospitals, and senior citizen centers, Mobile Beacon aims to improve broadband access and digital literacy for millions of Americans, especially underserved groups such as the elderly, low-income, and disabled. According to Mobile Beacon, nationwide, over 62 percent of libraries provide the only free internet access in their community. For further information regarding the St. Helens Public Library’s mobile hotspot program, please contact Reference Librarian Brenda Herren-Kenaga at 503-397-4544 or brendah@ ci.st-helens.or.us.

have always loved Christmas, so this seemed like a god combination,” volunteer Brandon Sundeen, the creative force behind the project, said. “I’m looking forward to sharing some stories that haven’t been told for 75 years.” The program will focus on how locals were celebrating the holiday during the
last Christmas of WWII. Sundeen said he’ll be sharing stories about locals who had loved ones serving overseas, how people were decorating their homes and trees, and what they were eating since many food items were being rationed at that time. Sundeen is also hoping the community will contribute

STATION Councilor Ginny Carlson said it is important to keep the police station as close to the community as possible and that the current location has enabled police officers to develop a close connection with the surrounding community. The current police station, at 150 S. 13th Street, is a 2,200 square-foot building constructed in 1971. “it’s extremely small and outdated,” St. Helens Police Chief Brian Greenway told the Chronicle in June. “Most homes are bigger than that.” The new facility would be a two-story building, combined with municipal courts, and would have
evidence and courts on the bottom floor, with police offices and operations on the top floor, Brown told city councilors at the work session. Mackenzie marked one to be the “clear winner,” which is site 1, the site in the North Houlton District, 1771 Columbia Boulevard. According to the study, the site ranked high in scores related to public access to site, proximity to geographic center, neighborhood context and visibility and prominence. However, councilors and Greenway wanted further analysis on some of the sites. Greenway noted concerns with accessibility to railways and inclusion of CRFR into the facility. “There’s good and bad in a lot of these sites, my con-
cern is how are we going to traverse Highway 30 with trains?” Greenway said. Greenway said that site 3, located at Old Portland Road by the recreation center, would be the best option for accessibility because of access to the city in at least three directions. Regarding using the facility as a joint site for SHPD and CRFR, Greenway said at least five acres would be required. Brown also said including CRFR into a future joint facility would be difficult. “There’s so many discussions that go into that. I don’t know that it’s in the cards with our current climate,” Brown said. City councilors voted to give Mackenzie site options 1 and 3 for further analysis in their feasibility study for a potential police station.
temporarily from their personal collections at home. “If people have family members that lived in the area during the World War II years, I would love to include personal memories of their wartime Christmas celebrations,” Sundeen said. “We would also like to include photographs of holiday
celebrations, and also photographs of those in the armed forces during World War II, along with Christmas cards and letters.” Sundeen stopped by The Chronicle office last Thursday to peruse our stacks from 1944, taking photos as he went. He used them to see what kind of toys kids were
asking for that year and how people were decorating their Christmas tree. If you have personal recollections, photographs, letters from soldiers, sailors or family members during that time period, or any other memorabilia, reach out to the museum via their Facebook page or by calling 971-225-3971.

United Way of Columbia County celebrates $80,550 in prescription savings United Way of Columbia County today announced that residents have saved $80,550 on their prescription medications, thanks to its partnership with FamilyWize, an organization focused on improving the health and well-being of individuals, families and communities. Through this partnership, the United Way has helped promote the free, easy to use FamilyWize Prescription Discount Card, which has helped more than 15 million Americans save more than $1.7 billion on their prescriptions. “People should never have to choose between putting food on the table or taking their prescription medication,” Claire Catt, Executive Director of United Way of Columbia County said “That’s why we formed a partnership with FamilyWize. Their free prescription discount card can reduce the costs of prescriptions for anyone who uses it. It’s an extremely valuable resource that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, should use.” The FamilyWize card immediately lowers the cost
of prescription medications by an average of 45% percent for people with and without insurance. Just by presenting the FamilyWize card or mobile app at their local pharmacy, people can save on the cost of their medicine, with no strings attached. “We’re excited to see the people of Columbia County realize the benefits of our prescription discount card,” said Vickie Nisbet, Director of Community Relations at FamilyWize. “We hope that they continue to use the card and share it with others, as it can provide a significant savings.” The Free FamilyWize Prescription Discount Card can be used by anyone: uninsured, insured, and even people with Medicaid or Medicare. The use of the card is unlimited, does not require any personal information from the user and has no eligibility criteria. To take advantage of the savings that FamilyWize offers, consumers can print a card from FamilyWize.org, can call 1-866-810-3784 and request a card be mailed to them, or download the free FamilyWize app.
