Community gathers around CCMH Thanksgiving meal JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

Multiple businesses, non-profits and volunteers came together last week to serve over 400 members of the community a Thanksgiving meal for Columbia Community Mental Health’s (CCMH) 23rd Annual Thanksgiving Dinner.

Judges, commissioners, business owners, CCMH clients and their families, and citizens gathered at the Moose Lodge on Thursday, Nov. 21 to “celebrate this amazing community we all live in.” It took some work preparing for the big day. First there was a massive amount of potatoes to contend with. The Columbia Pacific Food

Bank offered a portion of their large freezer to store the potatoes until they were ready to be peeled. Warren Community Fellowship hosted a “peeling party” and, according to CCMH PR and Director of Development Hope Wirta, employees from the St. Helens Recreation Center “peeled potatoes until their fingers fell off.” Our local Safeway donated

$1,000 towards the dinner, and St. Helens Market Fresh donated 17 turkeys that weighed in at over 25 lbs. a piece. Employees with St. Helens Wauna Credit Union served and bussed tables all day. CCMH added approximately 70 volunteers to the effort, and, with the exception of the pies and rolls, the entire meal was prepared from scratch. Wirta said there were many oth-

ers that contributed to the success of the event, and she loves working for a place that allows her to do something like this and call it a job. “It was just so cool to see the community be like a family having Thanksgiving dinner together,” Wirta said. “There were tears in lots of people’s eyes. It was beautiful.”

Jail sergeant retires amid ongoing personnel investigations JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

A Columbia County jail sergeant has retired from the sheriff’s office amid personnel investigations prompted by an internal complaint. Sgt. Carolyn Townsend was placed on administrative leave in late October. Around that same time, jail commander Capt. Tony Weaver was also placed on leave for a separate complaint. Sheriff Brian Pixley said the two complaints were unrelated and do not involve criminal accusations of their conduct, though he would not elaborate on the nature of the complaints. The investigation into the complaint made against Weaver is still ongoing, and the sheriff said he is in the process of determining if the investigation into the complaint against Townsend will proceed in the wake of her retirement. According to Pixley, the sheriff’s office handles their own personnel investigations when they are not of a criminal nature. The investigation into Weaver is being conducted by former chief deputy Steve Salle, who was appointed to that position in an interim capacity following former Sheriff Jeff Dickerson’s retirement in mid-2018 until Pixley took office. “He’s one of the most impartial and thorough people I know,” Pixley said. “If there’s something to uncover, he’ll find it. He’ll leave no stone unturned.” Pixley said the sheriff’s office

Vol. 137, No. 48

would be wrapping up that investigation as soon as they could, but Salle still had several more interviews to conduct. When asked how seriously he was taking the investigation, Pixley said action was taken to ensure that accountability measures were being met within 24 hours of the received complaints. “I ran on a campaign of keeping my staff accountable, and this is how I do that. I’m not trying to sweep anything under the rug. Appropriate measures will be taken depending on the seriousness of the offense,” Pixley said. “I don’t play around when it comes to any allegations.” Since Weaver was placed on administrative leave, Lt. Brooke McDowall has taken over as the interim jail commander. Pixley admitted having two staff members on leave has resulted in additional overtime for staff in an already woefully understaffed jail. The Chronicle received a tip that members of the jail had been “jumping ship,” but Pixley said that was untrue. “No one has jumped ship. The only people who have left the jail that I can think of in the past year are people that have taken patrol positions,” Pixley said. Pixley said he’s been asked why he doesn’t lower his standards to hire people more quickly, but he said the hiring standards are as high as they are to ensure he amasses a top-notch staff capable of handling the work. However, according to Pixley, it’s been a slow and difficult search while competing with surrounding law enforcement agencies – the majority of whom offer better pay during a time when the state’s unemployment rate sits at low of 4.1 percent. Pixley said he does currently have three potential hires in the process of background checks for the positions of control tech, transport deputy and corrections deputy. He also has two open positions for both an entry-level corrections deputy and a lateral, which can be found on Columbia County’s website. The Chronicle will continue to follow-up on the personnel investigations as they wrap up and new information becomes available.

Drake’s Towing, which the city currently has an exclusive use towing contract, will no longer be used at the end of this year.

St. Helens ends exclusive towing contract with Drake’s Towing, resolves lawsuit CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

In order to resolve a legal battle between Grumpy’s Towing, LLC and the City of St. Helens, city leaders motioned Wednesday, Nov. 20 to end the exclusive towing contract with Drake’s Towing & Recovery, which is now set to expire at the end of this year. The city will now return to its rotational system with varied towing providers that it has used in previous years, Walsh noted at the meeting. “It hasn’t been a very highdollar contract, it’s probably going to cause more legal expenses for the city than the contract’s been worth,” Walsh said at the work session on Wednesday. The exclusive use contract, which the city entered into with Drake’s on Dec. 5 of 2018, made it so that any towing needs by the city would automatically go to Drake’s. However, that exclusive use contract has been under question since Jan. 18, when Grumpy’s issued a protest letter to St. Helens City Council and Matt Brown, Finance Director, alleging the council violated an Oregon statutory law when

it failed to provide proper notice of their search for contract proposals to provide exclusive towing services, according to a lawsuit filed July 5 in Columbia County Circuit Court. In that protest letter, Grumpy’s made three requests of the City of St. Helens, the lawsuit notes. According to the lawsuit, those requests were to cancel its procurement of exclusive contract for towing services, to re-instate a new procurement process that complied with the public notice requirements of the statutory law and to halt the current agreement for exclusive towing services between the City and Drake’s. The City then agreed to receive a proposal from Grumpy’s if it was delivered by Jan. 25, which Grumpy’s then delivered on Jan. 24. The lawsuit then notes that the City Review Panel evaluated proposals from both Drake’s and Grumpy’s and determined Drake’s to have a higher score of 47, compared with Grumpy’s scoring of 43. The lawsuit states the panel’s evaluation was “biased and bad faith,” resulting in Grumpy’s not being awarded the contract for exclusive use of towing services for the City of St. Helens.

Since then, the City and Grumpy’s have been involved in a legal battle regarding whether or not the City had the right to enter into the exclusive use contract. The lawsuit makes several allegations surrounding what it terms “unethical, biased and bad-faith treatment by government officials in the contract procurement process.” The first allegation is that the City failed to give proper notice for a Request for Proposals to invite companies to submit contract proposals in order to provide exclusive towing services. It also alleges the city did not submit public notice in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the area. Further, the lawsuit alleges that Grumpy’s was not directly invited to submit a proposal. Court records indicate that the City and Grumpy’s have been working to reach an agreement over the past few months. The City issued its final reply, filed on Oct. 28 in Columbia County Circuit Court. The reply concluded that the original petition would be “dismissed with prejudice,” a legal term that means the case has been dismissed permanently.

Brownfields public forum CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The Community Wide Assessment Grant target area.

Jennifer Pugsley, owner of 50 Plaza Square, which was identified as a brownfield, addresses the city council and Seth Otto, representative from Maul Foster Alongi.

The City of St. Helens is in the middle of a Brownfields assessment, and city residents were recently invited to attend a meeting to witness the progress of the assessment so far. The forum, held Nov. 20 in council chambers at 6 p.m., was headed by Seth Otto, project manager for Maul Foster Alongi, the environmental consultant the city contracted with to perform the assessment. Brownfields are sites that have been impacted by environmental contamination, which can occur for multiple different reasons, Otto said at the meeting. “[Brownfields] are a hindrance on economic development because property owners maybe don’t have the resources to clean them up and perspective developers are not going to take on the risk,” Otto said. “So, programs like the assessment grant help to bridge that gap by providing funding for doing the environmental site assessment and helping push projects and projects toward clean up.” The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), through its community-wide assessment grant, provides money to cities to do environmental site assessment and for cleanup work, Otto said. The City of St. Helens was awarded a $300,000 community-wide assessment grant in 2016, which will expire in the third quarter of 2020. The City and Maul Foster

& Alongi are following a timeline, which they have followed pretty closely since 2016, Otto said. So far, the city has accomplished a brownfields inventory to identify sites that might need cleanup. According to Otto, the city has assessed and either dismissed or made plans for improvements for five city sites, all contained within the city’s “target area,” which is within the same boundaries as its Urban Renewal Area. Those sites included the former Boise White Paper site, the South 80 landfill, county property, Semling Family LLC property and 50 Plaza Square. For some of the sites, no action was needed, Otto said to the audience members. For example, at the former Boise White Paper site, Otto said there were some environmental impacts in the soil, which would be a risk if direct contact was made. However, because the site is covered by a clean cap, it is completely safe as long as the cap is maintained, Otto said. “Future development can occur with careful, and minimal penetration of the cap and by maintaining clean protection of anything that does go through the cap such as a piloting or foundation,” Otto said. For the South 80 landfill, which is generating methane, there was no risk of vapor intrusion of that methane into buildings, Otto said. The County property on Old Portland Road had a historic use of petroleum, which caused concerns

about contamination. According to Otto, it was a site that was used for auto maintenance, trucking storage and auto wreckage. After completing a Phase 1 assessment, Otto said there was nothing found that rose to a level of a recognized environmental condition. What was recommended was surface soil sampling to ensure that there has been no impact on the land from petroleum products, Otto said. On the Semling property, there was concern based on impacts from a former gas station, Otto said. That property also did a Phase 1 assessment, and found there was minimal impacts, but nothing requiring intervention from DEQ, Otto said. However, the site will not be suitable for clean fill. The last property evaluated was 50 Plaza Square, a new building recently bought and renovated by Jennifer Puglsey, a real estate with Keller Realtors. The site contains a heating tank that was recently decommissioned, which they found had a release impacting surrounding properties. However, Otto said the previous owners had protected it from liability. For this site, they found that there was an expectation of cleanup from DEQ, and they just received approval from both DEQ and the EPA to do a cleanup and will do a Phase 2 on the property. The next steps for Brownfields assessment are to begin cleanup planning and assign funds available for the cleanup planning.

Next SHPD First Thursday to highlight CERT Are you and your family prepared if a major wildfire sweeps through Columbia County next summer? Do you know what you would do if a devastating earthquake hits our area, leveling buildings and cutting off Columbia County from major emergency response assistance for days or weeks? The St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) is hosting the St. Helens Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) at the department’s monthly First Thursday community meeting. The meeting is at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5, in the Columbia Center auditorium, located at 375 S. 18th Street. CERT members will talk about the disaster training course offered to community members each year in St. Helens and the volunteer opportunities available to assist local and regional first responders after graduating the course. The CERT concept was developed and implemented by the Los Angeles City Fire Department in 1985 to train civilians to meet the immediate emergency needs in their area following a disaster. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) expanded on the CERT concept to develop a national program that outlines a clear plan for citizen involvement in all types of hazard situations. The first St. Helens CERT training was held in 2005 and has been offered every year since then. The

six-week course held each spring teaches community members about disaster preparedness, disaster fire suppression, disaster medical operations, light search and rescue operations, and disaster psychology and team organization. After training, attendees practice the skills they have learned in hands-on simulated situations. First Thursday is a community meeting hosted by the SHPD on the first Thursday of each month, where a new topic is presented related to community safety, crime prevention, police services, or season-

al-specific safety information. After a brief presentation, the community can ask officers and presenters questions, find out what’s happening in St. Helens neighborhoods, and discuss any topics of concern. According to the SHPD, the goal of First Thursday is to bring the St. Helens community and local law enforcement together once a month for meaningful conversation about the community. The meetings are an opportunity to make connections in the community, not just between police officers and residents, but also between neighbors.

Columbia Pacific CCO awards projects within Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties that improve the health of the community, drawing upon best practices and other innovations. The Community Wellness Investment Fund (CWIF) supports innovative, local and sustainable solutions that address health equity and social determinants of health, in one or more of the eight improvement priorities identified in the Regional Health Improvement Plan (RHIP). “We have awarded some great projects that support efforts focused on improving health and well-being, which are sustainable and aligned with the RHIP.” said Nancy Knopf, community health partnership manager for Columbia Pacific CCO. “Our updated RHIP advances health and well-being and will be used in our planning process for the next five years. Within the plan, we have identified eight priority areas for improving health in the region.” Knopf said. The eight priority areas include: • Community resilience and trauma informed care • Access to care: primary care • Access to care: behavioral health • Access to care: oral health and dental care • Access to care: social safety net • Chronic disease prevention • Suicide prevention • Housing The following projects were funded in Columbia County: • Community Action Team

A report to 911 from the victim of a hit & run lead police in pursuit of a suspect in a stolen car and an ensuing search that lasted over two hours on Thursday, Nov. 21, in Scappoose. The hit and run call came in at approximately 3:33 p.m. from the scene where it had just occurred – in or around the parking lot of the Scappoose Napa Store on Highway 30. The suspect took off southbound on Old Portland Road, and other callers to 911 concerned about the suspect’s erratic driving provided police with a license plate number. As it turns out, the pickup the suspect was driving had been stolen in Cowlitz County, Washington earlier that day. Columbia County Deputy Leonard Olsen, driving an unmarked car, spotted the suspect up on Dutch Canyon Road and followed the pickup back into Scappoose, but lost sight of it in the Fred Meyer’s parking lot. Columbia County Sheriff Brian Pixley said Olsen has worked with the CCSO for quite some time and had retired, but now contracts with the agency. “He was bad at retiring,” Pixley joked. “Olsen kept his eyes on the truck until Scappoose police could arrive.” A Scappoose Police Department (SPD) officer located the stolen truck in the north end of the Fred Meyer’s parking lot a short time later and initiated a traffic stop. The driver parked and stopped for a moment but took off south-

bound on Old Portland Road with the SPD in pursuit and eventually headed northbound on Highway 30. Almost immediately, the SPD put a stop to the chase due to heavy traffic and safety concerns, briefly losing sight of the fleeing vehicle, but the public assisted by pointing them back in the suspect’s direction on High School Way and then SE 6th Street. The suspect or suspects abandoned the stolen pickup truck in a field/construction site in the 52000 block of SE 6th Street and fled north on foot. With the assistance of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and Columbia City Police Department, the SPD immediately set up a containment area. Three drones were utilized in the search and a St. Helens Police Department K9 was brought in. While the containment area was being searched by the dog, a suspect was located based upon a tip from a citizen and was detained by police. “The dog went the same direction as where she was found, but before he got

there, someone had already called her in,” SPD Lt. James Macfarlane said. That suspect has been identified as 34-year-old Felicia Becky Mosqueda Leal. She was arrested and booked into the Columbia County Jail on charges of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, attempting to elude police, the hit and run, and criminal driving with a suspended or revoked license. Her bail is currently set at $54,750. Macfarlane said police think there were two people in the car at the time of the reported hit and run, and that a man was initially driving the vehicle. “It sounds like, at one point, he got out of the truck but where he got dropped off, I don’t know,” Macfarlane said, adding the actual car chase portion of the incident only lasted for a few minutes before the truck was found abandoned. “We have no information on who the other occupant would have been at this time.” Police continued the search after arresting Leal, but wrapped up the scene around 6:30 p.m. The SPD said no injuries or property damage was reported during the incident, other than the damage sustained to the victim’s vehicle in the initial hit and run that prompted the ordeal. The SPD was assisted on scene by the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, St. Helens Police Department, Columbia City Police Department, and the Scappoose Fire Protection District.

Shelby Bennett named Rotary Student of the Month The Columbia County Rotary Club and St. Helens Middle School are pleased to honor Shelby Bennett as the November Rotary Student of the Month. Bennett was selected for this award because of her positive behavior, academic success, and healthy interactions with diverse peers, according to officials. “Shelby consistently completes her schoolwork with high quality, clearly meeting state standards in her classes,” the school district said in their ‘Good News’ newsletter. “In the classroom and school wide, Shelby is polite to adults and friendly with all types of students. When collaborating with peers, she operates as a role model and teachers can use her work as an example of excellence. Teachers have noticed that Shelby demonstrates kindness to everyone but is especially considerate and supportive to those who are struggling and those with special needs.” Recently, Bennett volunteered at an event that supports local Oregon foster children called “Dominate the Dunes.” At this event, foster children get the opportunity to enjoy a day of fun at the beach riding a side by side on the sand. Officials said Bennett spent many hours preparing and serving food to the foster children and their families at

Voices of the Community The hypocrisy of congressional Republicans As the impeachment hearings proceed, there is no question in my mind that this president did indeed attempt to extort the president of another country - Ukraine into publicly declaring that

they would have to open an investigation into his political enemy, the Biden’s, or they would not receive the bi-partison approved 400 million dollars for their defense against Russia military aid that was only released after a whistleblower’s complaint became known to congress.. And to this the Republicans declare that, although true, it does not rise to the level of an impeachable

offense? Duh? If it were a democratic president that had done such a thing they would be screaming for his head on a pike. The Republicans will put their own political self-interest above that of the national interest. They perpetuate his lies, his slander, his arrogance, incompetence, ignorance and so much more. Mafia Don and his consiglieri Giuliani are not going to get away with this. There

is just too much at stake for him to be allowed to destroy this democracy. When, in our lifetimes, have we ever had someone in that position that has so demeaned and degraded the office of the presidency. And yet it appears Senate republicans will not vote to convict him for this sordid act of bribery and extortion when the trial comes. Oh but they certainly would convict if a democrat was in that office.

New street signs I understand that the idea and design of the new street signs are great and much needed. However, not much was taken into consider-

ation about the size of the print. It is so small, one has to be very close or use a magnifying glass to read. So when driving, it’s almost impossible to read until it is too late to turn. These signs must have cost a pretty penny. I have heard several who are disappointed for that reason. I have been a St. Helens resident for over 75 years. Marla Lapping St. Helens

The St. Helens Public Library is excited to announce that a unique collection is now available for patrons to check out: the Library of Things. The Library of Things is a collection of items that moves beyond the traditional materials found at a library. From Kill-A-Watt electricity usage monitors to wi-fi mobile hotspots and 3D pens, the library hopes to provide patrons with access to a collection of items that encourages exploration and learning while saving money. Any item in the Library of Things is available for checkout for 21 days with an adult library card. Items cannot be renewed. Juvenile

card holders and Passport Program card holders are not able to check out Library of Things items at this time. Items available for checkout include wi-fi mobile hotspots, Kill-A-Watt electricity usage monitors, Snap Circuits, Makey Makey kits, a Dash coding robot, 3D pens, littleBits kits, a bento making kit, a toddler science center kit, and more. Many of the items available in the Library of Things have been used in past St. Helens Make It. programs which provide science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs, along with do-it-yourself and maker movement programs, to youth and teens.

“We know that not everyone can come to a program at the Library, and we’ve also noticed that lots of our Make It. participants want to keep exploring and learning with a particular tool or technology after the class is over,” youth librarian Gretchen Kolderup said. “We’ve added a bunch of new items to our collections that are aimed at young people who want to get creative and explore new technology.” The Library of Things isn’t just for kids. The library plans to add future items that are targeted for teens and adults. If anyone is interested in checking out certain items from the library - think anything from

baking and kitchenware items to instruments, tools, electronics, board games, and recreation kits - contact the library with your ideas. Almost all of the items in St. Helens’ Library of Things were purchased with grant funding from the Northwest STEM Hub. Other items were added thanks to donations from individuals and the Northwest Early Learning Hub and money donations from community members. “The St. Helens Public Library believes that this new collection fits with the Library’s mission to provide the community with optimal access to tools that promote and encourage lifelong learning, self-development, and life enhancement,” officials said.

Tweens and teens are invited to double the anime fun again this month. Enjoy some snacks, watch some anime and make new friends. Dec. 4 we’ll be making custom buttons and the 20 we be making action figure terrariums.

A Candlelight Service of Remembrance When: Saturday, December 7, 2019

Holidays are a time reflection. Although some memories bring pain, they can also be a source of joy and comfort. Memories hold us close to those we love.

IN ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS

With this in mind, we will be honoring your loved ones with a Candle Lighting Ceremony. It would be wonderful to have your family present for the reading of the names. In addition to lighting candles, words of comfort by Dee Mitchell and keepsake ornament that may be taken home. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony. Our commitment to the families we serve does not end with the funeral. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us, and that this will be a time of peace and comfort. Best wishes to you during this holiday season. Dave and Darcey Bone, Holly Houston, Carynn Cozad, and Russ Crawford
