Children’s Fair celebrates 25-year Halloween tradition Magruder,

BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net

Doors open Oct. 29 on the 25th Annual Kiwanis Children’s Fair in St. Helens. Perhaps the premier Halloween event of the season, the one-day indoor fair draws an estimated 10,000 children and parents to see and learn. Some fair-goers are second and third generation. The displays are as diverse as the Reptile Road Show or Rainbow Girls. Exhibits are hands-on, learning experiences and all exhibits are non-political, non-commercial and non-sectarian. A small group of about 25 members of the St. Helens Daybreakers Kiwanis Club organize and present the fair. Charlotte Hart is chief organizer for the Children’s Fair, a position she has held since its inception in 1992. Hart moved to Columbia County in 1989 with her husband, Dennis. He took the job as principal at Columbia City School and at the time she worked for Community Action Team as director of children’s programs. It was there, she says, she first conceived the idea of a children’s fair. Together with other community leaders, Hart set about creating an event all children in the area could attend. “There were families that couldn’t go to the big events in Portland,” she said of those days. “I wanted it to be absolutely free.” Hart, with the help of her Kiwanis partners, recruited local agencies to man booths and offer exhibits that would be fun and hands-on for kids. “The agencies had to do an activity for kids,” she said. One year, she remembers, Wildlife Safari from Winston, Ore. brought a cheetah. Another year featured a 13foot anaconda snake. Then there was a pirate ship with exotic birds. And always there was entertainment; dancers, martial arts demonstrations, baton twirlers. County Commissioner Henry Heimuller provided free hayrides. One participant won’t be back this year. After attending every year since 1992, Ronald McDonald will miss this year’s event. The popular clown fell victim to the national hysteria over scary clowns and his sponsoring corporation, McDonalds, pulled the plug, announcing Ronald would make

no appearances this season. Hart says she begins work on the fair in July. Eschewing email and Internet, she contacts each agency personally. Participating organizations must offer a fun and safe activity while parents learn about resources available within the community. Goods cannot be sold at the event. Organizations can offer pricing, but only if requested. There is no charge for participating organizations thanks to sponsor support. Columbia River PUD is one such

sponsor. The utility has supported the fair since its beginning. “We love events that bring people to town to shop and have some fun,” said Libby Calnon, spokesperson for the PUD. Hart says participation has grown every year. “We have a lot more poor kids now than when we started,” she said. But there is uncertainty for the future of the Children’s Fair. Like so many service organizations, Kiwanis Daybreakers members are older citizens, who have been working

capable of shipping 44 million tons a year. Lighthouse Resources, which changed its name from Ambre Energy North America in 2015, spearheaded one of two projects to ship coal from Port property in Clatskanie. Its first project to ship coal began in 2011 with a proposal to bring coal on barges down the Columbia River from Morrow County, Ore. to Port Westward, and transfer it to ships bound for Asia. Ambre Energy said it would employee 20 to 25 in family wage jobs and contribute $300,000 to $350,000 to school districts in Columbia and Morrow counties.

The proposal faced stiff opposition from environmental groups and Native American tribes. “It sets Columbia [County] as being a poorly paid middle man,” said Dan Serres, conservation director for the Columbia Riverkeepers at the time. In 2015, Lighthouse Resources lost a crucial battle when the Oregon Department of State Lands denied a permit needed to build the transfer facility in Morrow County. The Longview terminal has also faced opposition, but Lighthouse insists it plans to move ahead with the Millenium project.

the event for years. Hart worries that without new, younger members, the club might not be able to continue its longtime sponsorship. That won’t affect this year’s event, she insists and organizers are looking forward to a record turnout. “After 25 years, it’s still all about the children,” Hart says. The Children’s Fair is held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 29 at the St. Helens High School Commons. Admission is free and kids are encouraged to attend in costume.

Two candidates for Columbia County Commissioner will face off at a political forum on Oct. 20 in Rainier. Clatskanie resident Margaret Magruder and Scappoose resident Wayne Mayo will answer questions and give their perspectives on a range of issues at a public forum sponsored by the Rainier Chamber of Commerce. Mayo and Magruder are vying for the seat vacated by retiring commissioner Earl Fisher. After a relatively stable six-year period, voters are replacing two commissioners currently up for re-election. In May, voters ousted incumbent Commissioner Tony Hyde, replacing him with political newcomer, Alex Tardif. Hyde served as commissioner since 1997. Magruder and Mayo emerged as the two frontrunners in a field of five candidates that ran for Position One on the May primary ballot. The candidate who receives the majority on the November ballot will become commissioner January 2017. The Oct. 20 forum will be moderated by Don Patterson, publisher of The Chronicle newspaper. Doors open at 5:30 and the forum begins at 6 p.m in the green building behind Rainier City Hall. The address is 103 West C Street.

With Midwest coal flowing to Asian markets through other Northwest ports, Lighthouse Resources announced Oct. 13 it would exit the Morrow Pacific project in Oregon. It began shipping coal from upper Midwest mines to Asia through Westshore terminals in Vancouver BC. The announcement signals it is abandoning the fight to ship coal through Port Westward in Columbia County. The company owns Millennium Bulk Terminal in Longview and still plans to develop a coal export terminal

Old city hall tear down delayed BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A major demolition project to tear down the former Clatskanie City Hall building on Nehalem Street has slowed and is not expected to take place until the end of this month or the beginning of November, according to Clatskanie Foundation member Mike Engel. The tear down was tentatively set for the beginning of October. “The contractor we have to do the job, Kynsi Construction of Clatskanie, is out of town with other projects and so the demolition is on hold until they are available,” Engel said. Public interest in the project continued this past week “We have had lots of phone calls,” Engel said. “We are anxious and we’d like to get it moving, but we are just waiting now.” The plan is to remove the old city hall building and the adjacent old Clatskanie Police Department jail and create a parking lot improvement for the Clatskanie Cultural Center. The center houses city hall offices and the city council chambers upstairs. Lower Columbia Engineering of St. Helens is designing the parking lot with about 20

weather problems that could slow it down.” Engel said two years ago, in the planning of the project, the estimated cost was not to exceed $175,000, but cost overruns occurred once the demolition work began in August. “We ran into asbestos in the building and we did not anticipate the engineering of the project,” Engel said. “That added about $30,000 in additional costs.” The work is part of a

restoration agreement between the Clatskanie Foundation, owners of the Cultural Center and the City of Clatskanie. The city agreed to provide up to $175,000 from enterprise zone refund money to help in the demolition of the building and development of the new parking lot. Engel said the additional costs for the project would have to be funded by the foundation.

Deer Island Manor: Halloween Dinner and Costume Contest

Columbia River Fire & Rescue responded to a report of a road worker who was hit by a vehicle close to milepost 6 of Apiary Road around noon on Oct. 11 in the Rainier area. Emergency responders found two patients, a road worker with a private company and a pickup truck driver. The pickup truck crashed into a large piece of paving equipment and the worker was smashed between the paving equipment and the pickup truck. The paving company is a private contractor for Columbia County performing a large paving operation on a stretch of Apiary Road. Fire crews cleared the crash scene on Apiary Road and Life Flight transported a patient to an area trauma hospital with critical injuries. The driver of the pickup was transported by

spaces, landscape areas and an island. The granite bench and light pole in front of the old city hall will be relocated to the new parking lot. Engel said once the demolition begins, it would take about a week to complete the tear down. “Workers will have to put in a surface drain for the storm sewer and a retaining wall has to be built,” Engel said. “The whole project will take about two months but if we have

scene by Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District, Life Flight, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Oregon State Police.

Write-in campaign for Clatskanie mayor launched BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Long-time Clatskanie resident Bob Brajcich has mounted a write-in campaign for Clatskanie Mayor. Brajcich said several people approached him in mid September asking him to run for the office currently held by Diane Pohl. “She has done a lot of hard work over the years,” he said. “But I believe it is time for a fresh face. I have lived here for over 50 years. I am not that fresh, but I am offering a positive change.” Ellen Spaulding, owner of The Junque Trunque, is spearheading the write-in effort. “There is a group of us that think it is a time for a change,” she said. “We all need to work together. We went to Bob because we trust him and we believe he will bring positive change to the city so everyone can work together.” Spaulding and her group planned to take door hangers supporting Brajcich to homes and businesses in Clatskanie over the next few weeks. Brajcich said he believes law enforcement is the main issue in Clatskanie. “I understand their situation with the contract with the sheriff’s office,” he said. “I would like to see it one day go back to the Clatskanie Police Department so we have the local control. I have never been a fan of contracting. You lose control when you do that.” Brajcich said he also believes the mayor’s key

responsibility is to support the whole community. “I am a straight-forward, play-by-the-rules guy,” he said. “I don’t have a personal agenda, but I do want to represent the taxpayers of Clatskanie, the local business and the city employees. That is something the mayor should do. That’s the mayor’s responsibility. Those businesses, that is their livelihood and the city needs to support that and it does.” Brajcich grew up and worked in the Clatskanie area. “I got my start working at the Shell Station during high school,” he said. “I graduated from Clatskanie High School in 1971.” After high school Brajcich went to work at Rietman Motors, a new car dealership on Highway 30 in Clatskanie.

At Rietman, “We live in Brajcich served a democracy as a mechanic that certainly for eight years. encourages From there he people who went to work as have an interest a mechanic for to run for pubthe Clatskanie lic office,” she School District said. “I don’t at the district’s have a problem bus garage and with that at eventually went Courtesy photo all.” to work at the Pohl said Long-time resident Bob Brajcich Georgia Pacific has mounted a write in campaign she would for Clatskanie Mayor.

I am looking forward to this election season. It is a time of great expectation and great decisions and that’s is not a bad thing.” Columbia County Elections Supervisor Don Clack said there isn’t much for a write-in candidate to do other than campaign to qualify. “There is always a spot for write-ins,” he said. “People are free to write in the name

of the person of their choice.” Clack said as the ballots are counted on Election Day Nov. 8, results that would include the write-in votes, if they impact the election, likely won’t be immediately known. “We would have to do our certification process, which would take about 20 days,” he said. “If the count is very close I would convene a board to review the write-in results.” Clack said ballots for the Nov. 8 General Election will be mailed to voters beginning on Oct. 20. Voter Pamphlets are already being distributed.

Four arrested following undercover narcotics operation Two weeks of undercover work led to several arrests in Clatskanie related to a narcotics investigation. The undercover operation stemmed from citizen complaints, according to officials. Columbia Enforcement Narcotics Team (CENT) executed two search warrants on Oct. 10, arrested three subjects on drug charges (and a fourth subject on a warrant), and recovered cash and controlled substances in the service of the search warrants. Consecutive search war-

rants were served in the 400 block of Northwest 5th Street and Solhavn Apartments, both in Clatskanie. Investigators found controlled substances including methamphetamine and Oxycodone; they also found evidence of drug trafficking and recovered a small amount of cash. Randy Houle, 27, of Clatskanie was charged with two counts each of manufacture and delivery of methamphetamine, delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, de-

livery of Oxycodone within 1,000 feet of a school, three counts of possession of methamphetamine, possession of Oxycodone. His bail was $16,500. Crystal Hansen, 33, of Clatskanie was charged with two counts each of manufacture and delivery of methamphetamine, delivery of methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a school, delivery of Oxycodone within 1,000 feet of a school, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of Oxycodone. Tashina Herrera, 31, of

Clatskanie was charged with possession of methamphetamine. Anthony Campbell, 45, of Clatskanie was arrested on an outstanding Multnomah County warrant for failure to appear. Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson credited CENT investigators for the successful two-week operation. “With the reinvigorated CENT team in Columbia County, I am pleased to

see this multi-agency effort bearing fruit in the North County area,” Dickerson said. “For years, we have not had this kind of ability to reach drug trafficking networks and their associated effect on the livability of our neighborhoods, but thanks to several agencies chipping in to make the team viable again, we’ve been able to start taking a bigger bite out

of drug-related crimes occurring in our County,” he said. CENT consists of deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, an officer from Scappoose Police Department and the participation of the local police departments in the area that the investigation occurs. This investigation was assisted by the Clatskanie Police Department.

Head-on crash near Goble Columbia River Fire & Rescue reported a two-car, head-on crash closed Highway 30 north of Tide Creek, around 3 miles east of Goble, for around an hour on Oct. 17. Two patients were transported to area hospitals with serious injuries. Firefighters found multiple vehicles along Highway 30 with multiple pieces of debris

from the crash spread across about 200 feet of the highway. One vehicle had severe frontend damage and moderate damage to the second vehicle. Multiple witnesses to the crash stopped and assisted. One driver was trapped. Hydraulic extrication tools were used to gain access to one of the patients and remove them

from a badly damaged vehicle and taken by ambulance to a Portland-area trauma hospital with serious injuries. Witnesses to the crash and other drivers stopped to help free the driver of the other vehicle. That patient was transported by ground ambulance to an area hospital with minor injuries.

Dear Sally –

In 2014 Mayo embellished on his record regarding his involvement with the CRPUD formation in the Voters’ Pamphlet in an obvious attempt to make himself look better. I expect our county commissioners to know the law and abide by the law. This year, Mayo has erected billboard sized signs on highway 30 that are ten times the size allowed by Oregon state law as well as erecting signs early in Scappoose. Someone who has run this many times should certainly know the local and state sign ordinances by now; they are posted on the County Elections website. He has either chosen to ignore the law or hasn’t taken the time to learn it. I expect our commissioners to support local business whenever possible and practice what they preach. According to ORESTAR campaign finance reports, Mayo had his campaign signs made in southern Oregon and bought his hardware at Home Depot and Tacoma Screw. I expect our commissioners to be transparent and to abide by the ethical standards set out by the State in campaigning. As of the writing of this letter, Mayo has not reported the expenses associated with the printing of the 20,000+ flyers for insert twice in all the local papers, nor the expenses of inserting those flyers in two of the publications, nor where the money came from to pay those expenses. The State requires expenses to be reported within 7 days of being incurred. This is either an attempt to be sneaky as his campaign touts how little he spends or just sloppy recordkeeping. I believe we all make mistakes and anyone deserves a pass once in a while but when they start stacking up, as in Mayo’s case, it is grounds for one to take pause. This is why I can’t vote for Wayne Mayo. Blair Walter Columbia City Continued on PAGE A5

Letters, Continued Vote for Mathers on CRPUD Board We have been Columbia County residents for over 40 years, and have known the Mathers family for 15. On more than one occasion, Rob Mathers has gone out of his way to help us when help was needed – but not requested – and given that help with enthusiasm and sincerity. We believe that Rob would be an excellent choice for Position #3 on the CRPUD Board of Directors because he is an experience businessman, with extensive professional exposure and is a conscientious citizen who is motivated by a desire to make things work for the good of all. Sincerely, Dick & Janet Beebe Warren Rob Mathers for CRPUD I am writing to endorse Rob Mathers for Position #3 of CRPUD Board of Directors. I have been a friend of the Mathers for five years, and during that time Rob has proven himself to be one of the hardest working people I know. He really cares about other people, and has a sincere “What can I do to help?” attitude that is always an asset to the people or organization he represents. I wholeheartedly endorse him for Position #3 on the CRPUD Board of Directors. Wanda Reed St. Helens Who is Trump? Donald Trump is not really a Democrat or Republican. That’s why some Republicans in Congress don’t like him. They know full well that he won’t go along with some of their manipulative schemes that

hurt the American public. Who is Hillary Clinton? Well she is like Paul Ryan in many ways. Both of them worship at the alter of so called free trade. They are so imbedded in Wall Street one could not dislodge them with a jack hammer. They are war hawks in the first degree. One cannot forget their ties with the US Chamber of Commerce and last but not least, their compulsive desire to let millions upon millions of more people into this country. Anyone who has studied the problems with overpopulation knows full well this country is way over populated. A democracy can not withstand over population. It is impossible. Donald Trump is the only person that has the tenacity to do something about this country’s disastrous immigration problem. One of the reasons so many millennials can’t find a job is because of the H1-B visa program. This program let thousands upon thousands of people come into the high tech sector from other countries and take jobs from native born millennials . This is a fact, not conjecture. Hillary Clinton will do nothing to help this generation of any generation with their job opportunities. The biggest environmental threat is not global warming, it is over population. That is the inconvenient truth. When on mentions stopping immigration to these so called environmental organizations they run like a rabbit to their hole. They are pathetic resemblances to any true environmentalist. Our professional saviors and elites will not save our nation and civilization. To expect it from them is to believe magic and trust

in miracles. The cure will come from man an women in the street that can read between the lines. They can see through the tripe that the news media throws at them everyday. They are not blinded by their prejudice or bigotry, nor believe the government owes them a living. These people are not afraid of success or failure and what people might say. In short, they are the people that are going to vote for Donald Trump. There are many differences between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Is Donald Trump perfect? Absolutely not, but he will help the people of this great country and what of Hillary Clinton, she will help herself. That is probably the biggest difference. Robert Boehm Clatskanie Magruder’s contributions hard earned As a friend of Margaret Magruder’s and as her campaign treasurer, I can attest that she is not only frugal in her personal life but advocates the same for government finances. She drives a 10+ year-old truck, not because she can’t afford a newer model, but because this one still works! As a county budget committee member she advocated for reducing the county commissioners’ salaries during the recession and has been an advocate of paying down the county debt early. As a commissioner she would have much more influence than a budget committee member in how our valuable funds are spent, or not spent, and that would be a very good thing. I would like to respond to Brian Rosenthal’s and Carmen Kulp’s letters last week in The Chief. Mr. Rosenthal said, “We can’t afford

Margaret Magruder.” If he really knew Margaret, he would have said, “We can’t afford not to elect Margaret Magruder.” Ms. Kulp said, “But is she really dedicated to working for us or for those who paid her to run?” But it IS us. Contrary to Ms. Kulp’s comments, less than 10% of Margaret’s contributors are businesses, the rest are Columbia County residents who contribute an average of $150 of their hard earned money. To suggest Margaret would be beholden to anyone is to not know her. As you read the Voters’ Pamphlet or Margaret’s web page, take note of the vast amount of experience she has on county, state, federal and international boards in leadership roles. As you read that list, keep in mind that we now have the opportunity to gain from such broad experience right here in Columbia County and by one of our own! To not take advantage of that would truly be foolish. Please vote for Margaret Magruder for County Commissioner and give her the opportunity to serve us, she will not disappoint. Kathy Engels Clatskanie Supports Debbie Reed for PUD board As a PUD retiree, I support Debbie Reed for Columbia River PUD Director for Subdivision 1. Debbie has attended nearly every meeting this year, unlike her opponent, Nancy Ward, who has only attended a couple of meetings. Debbie has taken the time to talk with me, other retirees, and other employees, to understand what’s been happening at the PUD. Mark Larson Warren

For the Record

Choosing Reed over Ward for PUD board What do you want from your P.U.D. board candidate? I want them to understand the issues by talking with the board, staff, and retirees, instead of just reading about the P.U.D. in the Spotlight or talking to the leaders of the failed recall. Debbie Reed, a candidate for Seat 1, has been to 12 board meetings in the past year. Her opponent, Nancy Ward, has been to 3. Debbie understands that the P.U.D is on the right track, with the first balanced budget in many years, many big projects completed and an independent survey showing high employee morale and commitment under current management. I worry that Nancy Ward would continue the turmoil at the board level, because on one hand she claims to stand for unity, but on the other hand she claims the board isn’t doing it’s job. That doesn’t sound like a recipe for unity to me. Kathleen Hoffman Warren Magruder a team player Voters have the opportunity in November to elect a person ideally suited to serve on the Columbia County Board of Commissioners. That candidate is Margaret Magruder. A lifelong Columbia County resident and a third generation farmer, Margaret has proven her ability to balance economic interests with environmental restoration in all areas of the county through her position as coordinator of the Lower Columbia Water Shed Council for the past 20 years. She has been honored as the National Earth Team’s individual volunteer of the year, and her significant environmental and economic contributions to rural

Oregon have earned her special recognition by the Oregon Leadership Summit. An innovative entrepreneur, Margaret is the founder, owner and manager of Oregon Shepherd LLC, an environmentally-friendly wool insulation manufacturer in Rainier. Margaret has the rare ability to appreciate and balance the needs of job-creating businesses while protecting the environment. Having served on the Columbia County budget committee for almost 20 years, she understands the county’s financial situation far better than most and was part of that committee when they reduced the salaries of the commissioners during the recent recession. By temperament, Margaret is a team-player and a consensus-builder, but she has the integrity and courage to take a strong stand for what is right for Columbia County. Please cast your vote for Margaret Magruder for Columbia County Commissioner. Beki and Roger FisherJolma Clatskanie Response to Mr. Brumbles I invite Mr. Brumbles to present his opinions without resorting to ‘ad hominem’ attacks and straw man arguments. I assume that, as one who expounds frequently on constitutional matters, he is aware these are ineffective and fallacious ways to promote and support one’s positions. I do not think, also, that it was the style of discourse used by those who met to craft the Constitution nor of those who advocated its adoption in The Federalist Papers.

Georgie Phyllis Lamar Holsheimer December 3, 1926 ~ October 12, 2016 Georgie Phyllis Lamar Holsheimer died Oct. 12, 2016. She was born in Scappoose, on Dec. 3, 1926. She was the daughter of John L. and Dollie Adams Lamar. Her mother was also born in Scappoose, the daughter of homesteaders Rosa and Fred R. Adams and greatgrandparents, Samual and Julia Adams. She lived her entire life in Scappoose, the first 11 years in a city-center home constructed by her grandparents, and then in South Scappoose the remainder of her life. She graduated from Scappoose Grade and High School (1944) and attended Oregon State University and Portland State University. She was a lifetime member of the Alpha Xi Delta sorority. She married Phil Holsheimer Jr., on Jan. 25, 1947; they had two sons, Lamar and Jan. Her husband, Phil, preceded her in death in 2002. Her son Lamar, died

in 1977. When her children were in school, she was very active in PTA, Cub Scouts, and other activities involving children. She also helped establish and actively supported the Scappoose Woman’s Club. In later years, she was a member of the St. Helens Zenith Club and St. Helens Business and Woman’s Professional organization. She and her husband provided the funding, combined with energy from members of the Columbia Humane Society, to construct the Holsheimer/Lamar Memorial

Animal Shelter located in St. Helens. They both remained active supporters of the facility. She worked out of the home during part of her married life, three years with Peterson Rose Gardens in Scappoose, part-time at the Scappoose Spotlight, did photography for the St. Helens Sentinel Mist paper and 20 years for the Columbia County Mental Health Center. She and her husband were active in several Recreation Vehicle Clubs. After their retirement, they spent their winters in the Palm Springs area. She is survived by her son, Jan and his wife Linda, and Lisa and Rich Osborne, Tim Weight and her pet canine. At her request, no funeral services will be held.

“I have no idea how this meeting of ways will play out but it is just possible that the camps at Standing Rock are what a first step looks like.”

Columbia County connection: Journey to Standing Rock, DAPL protest Chronicle Guest Column by SCOTT MACGREGOR

Editors note: Clatskanie resident Scott MacGregor and his sister Whe Whe Olitza recently traveled to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. In the following article, MacGregor recounts his experience observing camps of protestors who opposed the Dakota Access Pipe Line. MacGregor and Olitza are Jamestown S’klallam (NW Washington, Sequim area) elder tribal members. When I set off with my sister, Whe Whe Olitza, to visit the Standing Rock Sioux as a show of support in their standoff with the Dakota Access Pipe Line (DAPL), we did not know what to expect – but I guess that is true of any journey. We knew that the confrontation involving dogs and protesters was on hold. There had been some dog bites and some arrests when protesters, or protectors as they call themselves, went onto private property to stop the deliberate destruction of ancestral burial sites. An appeal by the Sioux for an injunction was denied in federal court, but almost immediately the Department of Justice, Department of the Interior, and the Army Corps of Engineers issued a joint statement to reconsider the permit, especially in regard to tribal perspectives. Thus construction (and destruction) was halted. My sister had a new car and there was a lot of road between where we started and the Standing Rock Reservation in the southeast corner of North Dakota. We logged 3,222 miles for the total trip. The car handled beautifully, seemed to be happiest at about 80 miles per hour, and the highways of Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota were generally accommodating. We saw a lot of country – canyons and mountains, valleys and plains. We saw wind farms and wheat farms and beet farms and all kinds of other farms. We crossed the Great Divide, saw antelope playing, buffalo roaming and the sky was not cloudy one day, but it sure was the next. About 25 miles from Cannon Ball, N.D. (the site of the protests and the camps)

we encountered a roadblock. It was constructed out of concrete highway barriers such that through traffic was stopped in both directions – only one car could snake through at a time. Around six to eight National Guard troopers in camouflage outfits staffed the roadblock. We were politely informed that there were protesters on both sides of the road around 25 miles up ahead. We were told to be careful not to hit them. As we drove away it occurred to me how easy it would be for the National Guard to completely close this road. Presently we came upon a small encampment (25-50 people) that was indeed on both sides of the road – we didn’t hit anybody. Banners of support were strung on the fences and in the distance two or three yellow earthmovers sat idle and silent. And then, as we began our descent into the Cannon Ball River Valley, we saw the main camp. I’m guessing it covered about 25 acres – more than 100 tipis stood proudly above the thousands of camping tents. More than 300 tribal flags marked the entrance, lining the road in and flaring out along the fence between the camp and the highway. At a security station we were questioned about alcohol, drugs and firearms and then permitted to enter. We inquired about our sister tribes – the Lower Elwa and Port Gamble – only to hear that they and “some other tribes with canoes” had left the day before. We began to look for a place to set up our tent and we met some of those folks who come to be known as colorful characters, but everyone was helpful and friendly. Immediately across the Cannon Ball River is where the reservation begins and we proceeded to check out two much smaller camps, Sacred Stone and Rosebud. At Sacred Stone, a woman saw our cedar hats and said there was a blond woman with a hat like ours named Victory. While exploring Rosebud, we came upon a blond woman in a cedar hat. Her name turned out to be Victory and we took that as a sign – we pitched our tent and hung out one of our Jamestown s’Klallam

flags. We never saw Victory again. The first night was memorable. Following my first experience in a sweat lodge, we were treated to a great thunderstorm that alternately lit up the tent with a flash of lightning, pounded on the great drums of heaven with a roll of thunder, and pelted us with Dakota-sized drops of rain. My sweat was led by Curly, a Lakota who took responsibility for the management of this camp. He did security, set up the kitchen tents and the storehouse tents, distributed and donated clothing, managed the accumulation of wood and food – Rosebud will be the center of the winter camp. The main camp is on private land operating under a temporary permit and will be closed. Curly is the grandson of the grandson of Rain-In-The Face, one of the great war chiefs of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He said he was just a common man, but along with the half-dozen other Lakota I met, he exhibited the dedication to stay as long as was needed, to carry out this protest in a peaceful manner, and to embrace all people of good will, tribal and non-tribal, who cared to support this cause. Rosebud and Sacred Stone are on land we were told belongs to LaDonna Brave Bull, one of the leaders of the protest who was not there at this time. She was scheduled to speak about water, sacred sites, land and indigenous rights in New York at the United Nations as part of a five-day Indigenous Elders conference. The next day, Whe Whe and I drove to the Standing Rock Tribal Center in Fort Yates, about 30 miles

from the camps. We spoke with Vice Chairman Jesse McLaughlin and his brother Kory McLaughlin, councilman-at-large. The tribe’s chairman, Dave Archambault II, was in Geneva to speak to the United Nations Human Rights Council. We mentioned our support for native rights, particularly in the matter of respect for our ancestors. We discussed the great unity of the camps. When we gave our flag to Antonio, the veteran in charge of hanging up flags, he said the total was about 230 tribes making it, I think, the largest coming together of tribes ever. We spoke with many others gathered there who are not tribal, and as McLaughlin made very clear, the Sioux asked for all interested to

tents by a youth with a red bucket of oats. There were many horses about, some being ridden, some tethered, others just waiting. We saw the arrival of the Tohono tribe from Arizona – 85 people made the twenty-plus hour trip in vans to show their support. We saw preparations for dinner – a buffalo carcass hanging from a front loader. It was being cut up for the evening stew at table after table of workers with big knives. We saw truckloads of wood arriving and being dumped in an area where younger men than I swung axes and mauls to the rhythm of chain saws. And of course we saw Port-Potties (very well maintained in my experience). There was the impres-
