SHHS Automotive Tech learns fire safety from CRFR BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

Fire extinguishers – we see them everywhere, but how many of us really know how to use one? As students of the Automotive Technology class at St. Helens High School recently learned, fire extinguishers come in several forms, each with its own specific purpose and technique for use. Fire extinguishers might disperse powder, foam, wet or dry chemicals, or simple water. There are highly specialized extinguishers for certain situations. The automotive class students had the opportunity to test their fire safety skills with the type designed for suppressing flammable liquids thanks to a visit from Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR) firefighters. The firefighters brought a tub of water connected to a propane tank that simulated a fire involving liquids. Students took turns attempting to douse the fire using extinguishers with a “B” classification, which is designated for use with flammable liquids. Other classes in the U.S.’s “ABCDK” categorization system designate use for ordinary material fires (A), electrical fires (C), combustible metals (D), and oils and fats in kitchen fires (K). Automotive Technology Instructor Mike Herdrich said, “Everything

Charlotte Hart, pictured here with the Cloud City Garrison, was presented with an award during the 2016 Children’s Fair that honored her efforts to support children and young people in the community.

Club members, she was presented with an award to recognize her longstanding efforts on the behalf of children. Hart said 25 years ago, when she was working with a teen parent program for Community Action Team (CAT), she and two others wrote a grant application to create a program for teen parents who wanted to earn their diplomas. The goal was to keep the students in the main school system with their fellow student parents, rather than sending them off to an isolated program. Hart said in the teen parent program at CAT, she worked with mothers as young as 15 years old who were earning their G.E.D.s, learning parenting skills and life skills, and trying to cope with the overwhelming task of raising children at a young age. She saw a growing need and felt she

Clatskanie Senior Center facing uncertain future BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Clatskanie Senior Center is facing a financial crisis and might be forced to shut down. Clatskanie Senior Citizens, Inc. President Ernest Carman said the nonprofit group has been struggling over the years to maintain services and expand operations at the center’s headquarters in The Castle, a west Clatskanie historic building. “The senior center administration actually collapsed in 2007 due to a loss of board members, so

we reorganized in 2008,” he said. “We had purchased The Castle about 25 years ago and have been offering meals and activities here for the area seniors.” Center Attendance Attendance at the Clatskanie Senior Center has dwindled over the years. “People are living longer and retiring later and they are staying more active in life,” Carman said. “Not many of our activities are attracting them, and like across the nation, many se

in an industrial environment starts with safety – that’s step number one – if we can take the fear factor out and turn that into a healthy respect for what they’re working with… they need to understand the chemical reaction involved, they need to understand how to operate safely, take the precautions necessary such as a fire extinguisher in their work area.” Herdrich said this generation of students would soon be at work on such complex

machines as hybrid and electric vehicles. With high voltage direct current in some new vehicles, technicians need to know how to work safely and how to react if a situation occurs. The fire safety lesson from CRFR also was timely because the class is learning to work with oxyacetylene torches, heating tools that are used to modify and cut metal. The relationship between CRFR and the Automotive Technology course goes back around a decade, and Herdrich said some students are able to work in the fire department’s maintenance shop. He said students working at the shop service vehicles for

CRFR, Scappoose Fire Department, Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and other agencies. Herdrich said the incredibly busy shop requires students with a high degree of skill because the vehicles must run, which means a professional-quality job must be done each time. “It’s a wonderful learning environment, and it’s a pretty financially rewarding environment, too.” An audio slideshow presentation of the fire extinguisher demonstration is posted on thechronicleonline. com and St. Helens Chronicle’s Facebook page.

Interim police chief leaves office BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

You may not have seen much of Stan Grubbs in Clatskanie over the past year but his presence and his work helped stabilize the Clatskanie Police Department, according to city officials. “It was a challenging time for the police department and the city,” Clatskanie City Manager Greg Hinkelman said. “Stan brought in professionalism and help with the police administration. He got a lot of things squared away and he put the department on a stable course.” Clatskanie Mayor Diane Pohl said Grubbs did a great deal of the quiet work in making sure the police department’s policies and procedures were current and effective. “He came at a time when the strength of his knowledge was needed, ” she said. “He did a great service for the city, through his expertise and guidance, at a time when we needed it.” Grubbs was hired in September 2015 to be the Clatskanie interim police chief following the departure of Police Chief Marvin Hoover. His $40 an hour part time position came to an end on Thursday, Oct. 27. During his work in Clatskanie, Grubbs continued his job as a part time investigator with the Milwaukie Police Department. “I haven’t been the classic police chief taking calls and driving around town,” Grubbs said. “My job was strictly administrative. The objective was to keep the Clatskanie Police Department on course.” Grubbs said his first assignment was to establish goals and objectives for the police department and develop a recruitment process for a new police chief. “But it got to the point of assessing the budget and also looking at the overall community dynamics that were oc-

curring and what would be the best solution for Clatskanie, so the objective of recruiting a new police chief was suspended,” he said. Grubbs said the main objective of his job shifted to keeping the department and its programs on course. Grubbs said there had been a lot of international, national and local attention that was concentrating on the city, based on the allegations against the former chief. As the city council and the police department sought stability, Grubbs said he became the police department’s caretaker. “During that time period a series of personnel issues began taking place and a large percentage of my time was concentrated on investigating those complaints, concluding those investigations and addressing those issues,” he said. “It took away from a lot of the objectives that were originally laid out for this job.” But Grubbs said the department’s personnel challenges also demonstrated a need to make changes and address the issues for the overall needs of the community, as well as the health of the police agency. According to Grubbs, the transition to disbanding the Clatskanie Police Department and to contract law enforcement services with the Columbia County Sheriff’s

Office beginning on Nov. 1 is bittersweet. “I understand the small community connect to their police officers, so I know it was not an easy decision by the city council to disband the department,” he said. “I am sure there will be frustration. There will be those that truly don’t want to see it succeed. They don’t understand issues of budgeting and law enforcement today, including the officer training liability, and the resources a small town police department attempts to maintain. It takes much effort in order to maintain all those issues and be that professional police department.” Grubbs said he hopes citizens will keep an open mind concerning the transition. “With the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office, you get additional services and a great depth of investigation and resources,” he said. Grubbs said he would miss the work and the people of Clatskanie and he thanked his staff for helping him accomplish his mission on the job. “There have been some very dramatic times and there have been some very dynamic times,” he said. “I have had support of the council. I have been listened to. I believe I have done a yeoman’s share of work and gone beyond my six month commitment.”

niors prefer to stay at home.” Carman said the senior center has been working to try to bridge the gap by offering new activities that include mother-daughter teas and promoting popular events at the center including a Christmas program offering activities for children, families and seniors, and senior trips to various locations in Oregon. Clatskanie Senior Citizens, Inc. also contracts with Columbia County as a Meals on Wheels distribution point. “We serve about 40 meals a week to seniors and the disabled in the Clatskanie area,” Carman said. The center also offers lunches for seniors Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. But attendance has also declined for such service. “We’ve tried to go to a five day schedule offering the lunches, but we haven’t been able to find the resources to do that yet,” he said. The contract with Columbia County and money available for the center’s operation is based on the attendance at the center. Carman said due to the changes in staff, he was unable to provide the center’s annual operating budget. “We are doing an audit to find that out right now,” he said. According to the Columbia County Community Action (CAT) Team Senior Program Manager Juliann Davis, the Clatskanie Senior Center over the past fiscal year served a total of 3,741 meals for a total of 136 people. She said the Clatskanie Senior Center received $10,966 in state and federal funds, or an average of $3.07 per meal. Davis said the Clatskanie Senior Center reported income from donations and support of $14,134 in the fiscal year from July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. “Clatskanie has been juggling their finances for about the past five years,” Davis said. “They all have had their ups and downs.” CAT operates contracts with senior center groups in Rainier, St. Helens, Scappoose, Vernonia and Clatskanie. The centers serve approximately 68,915 on-site and in-home meals annually. “We receive Older Americans Act funding that helps support the nutritional services at the senior centers and under our contract the centers become our meal sites for the

seniors meals on wheels and on site meals,” she said. Federal money is also used to provide other services at the senior centers, including preventive health, support family care givers, elderly abuse prevention, legal aid, case management services, informational services and assistance and outreach. Funding Sources Declining But Davis said the federal funding has declined over the years, limiting what the seniors centers in Columbia County receive. The Clatskanie Senior Center is challenged with not only a decline in attendance and donations, but also critical state and federal funding that supports the center’s operations has been decreasing over the years. The state and federal funding is based on attendance, according to Davis. “The state looks at attendance, land area and population density in determining funding,” she said. “There is a base amount that each area agency receives for each service.” Davis said another contributing factor includes the overall economy. “The cost of delivering the services to the seniors has gone up,” she said. “Food costs and the cost of gasoline for transportation has increased and that affects the volunteers that deliver the meals and their ability to volunteer. It also costs more to heat and cooling the buildings and cook the meals.” The Clatskanie Senior Center asks for donations of $5 per meal for those 60-years or older and $6 per meal for those under 60 eating at the center. If the Clatskanie Senior Center were to close, Carman said the impact would be especially challenging for the people that depend on the center’s Meals of Wheels services. “They are the most vulnerable,” he said. Carman said the Meals on Wheels volunteer drivers don’t just deliver the meals, they also check to make sure the clients are safe and if they might need medical attention. “Without the meals, many of these clients would not be able to eat,” Clatskanie Senior Center Meals on Wheels volunteer coordinator Jeff Green said. “It is really a sad state of affairs because many families in this area leave their parents and their grand parents on their own. They are basically shut in.” Green said he instructs

his volunteer drivers that the Meals on Wheels contract is the most important. “I want them to talk with our clients on each visit,” Green said. “Ask them how they are feeling. Spend a little bit of time with them to make sure they are doing OK.” Green said the main challenge is operating the senior centers in Columbia County in the face of decreasing federal and state funding. “All of the centers are operating on a pay check to pay check basis,” he said. “Some of the south county centers are complaining that our center, because we have the lowest attendance, is taking away funds that could be available to them.” Future Options Green said over the past few months several plans were discussed by CAT and the senior centers in efforts to financially support and maintain the centers. “The current plan was to cancel our contract and shut us down,” Green said. “But they extended that to July to give us time to get out paperwork together and figure out our budget and what we have to do to be in compliance.” Carman said the Clatskanie Senior Center board and its members are helping to reorganize operations and finances to help avoid shutting down the center. Davis said a CAT advisory committee originally recommended that the Columbia County meal sites be consolidated from five to three sites. Requests for proposals would be issued by CAT for those eligible agencies, including the Clatskanie Senior Center, to apply to operate the sites. But that recommendation has been put on hold until December. “The Area Agency on Aging Advisory Committee decided to put on hold the area plan committee’s recommendation to consolidate pending more review of other options, so we are back to square one,” she said. “This allows Clatskanie more time to explore other funding streams.” Davis said the best option is to keep the meal sites at a local level. “That would allow the community to get together and have a meal look and at ways to support one another and others, and to produce home prepared meals.” Carman and Green said keeping the Clatskanie Senior Center open and maintaining its operations is vital to seniors in the community.

Shop with a Cop needs nominations Columbia City Police Chief Mike McGothlin is looking for needy children or families who would like to go Christmas shopping. McGothlin heads up Shop with a Cop, a holiday program to help needy families in Columbia City. Each year a Columbia City family is selected from nominations to go shopping. Additionally, McGothlin said, the program helps 15 to 20 children from throughout the St. Helens School District, providing toys and goods and a holiday shopping experience to kids that might not otherwise get an opportunity. Since the program’s inception in 2009, McGothlin estimates officers have assisted150 families. On shopping day, they meet at WalMart. After a brief orientation, officers are paired with a family. They shop for needed items, not just a Christmas wish list. One year, McGothlin said, they were able to buy

bunk beds for a family who slept on the floor. “It’s kind of a grass-roots community effort,” he said. Jessica McGothlin, Mike’s wife, leads the fundraising efforts, writing grants and soliciting donations from businesses. “WalMart has been a fantastic supporter thoughout,” McGothlin said. Local citizens also donate goods and toys to the effort. “It gives us a chance to reach out to the community,” McGothlin said. The program has grown to include officers from Scappoose and St. Helens police, Oregon State Police and even the railroad police, he said. Families are chosen from nominations and must be residents of Columbia City. Individual children are also eligible and are selected by schools. Nomination forms are available at the city hall in Columbia City and must be turned in by Nov. 28.

United Way: Supporting the community since 1964

d enior ing niors

BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

United Way of Columbia County is ramping up its annual fundraising efforts. This year’s goal is $248,750. Executive Director Kathye Beck said the financing campaign has seen decreasing returns since the 2008, when a national economic downturn began and many corporations changed how they focus on community betterment. Meanwhile, there is an expanding need for assistance with food, utility bills and other necessities. “The need continues to grow because we are seeing more people requesting food boxes as the cost of rent goes up… and their wages maybe aren’t going up,” Beck said. “You have a lot of people on fixed incomes – they can’t make it through the month without needing assistance.” Beck said at the root of the issue is the portion of Columbia County that commutes to work, estimated to be in the range of 70-80 percent of the local workforce, some 17,000 people who are less likely to give to local organizations through workplace donation programs and other opportunities that might arise. At a rate of $1 per week per member of the workforce, Beck said around a million dollars in charitable giving could be missed by local organizations such as United Way of Columbia County. She said it would be important for the campaign to raise awareness of how giving is affected by where you donate.

“It is very important that people remember to give back to the community where they live,” Beck said. And that is clearly recognized by some in the community, with leveraged donations and volunteer time accounting for between $120,000 and $150,000 in additional funding each year, according to Beck. Beck encourages the use of a workplace-based payroll deduction program to give locally. “You choose how much money you want to give, and all year long it comes out of your check – you never miss it, and you know you’re helping somebody in the community,” Beck said. The primary focus areas for United Way of Columbia County are health, education and income. It financially supports a number of local programs to that end. Food banks, shelters, community centers, emergency assistance programs and health agencies benefit from the fundraising efforts. With more flexibility to support programs that might run on designated funding, United Way of Columbia County supplements crucial program budgets for many organizations. Casey Wheeler, executive director for Columbia Pacific Food Bank, said the connection to United Way of Columbia County helps assure food gets to those who need it. “The Columbia Pacific Food Bank has enjoyed a relationship with United Way for several years,” he said. “The funds we receive from United Way make up 6% of our budget, and are impor-

tant to us in that they are unrestricted in how we use them.” “These funds help us distribute over nine tons of food a week throughout Columbia County,” Wheeler said. “United Way is making sure that these funds benefit the entire county and not just one community.” While much of the workforce commutes out of the county, if an unforeseen problem arises and a person needs some support, that support will come from inside the county. “That’s why United Way needs to raise awareness of how important it is to support the community where you live, so that if there is a need... those services are there to help you,” Beck said. The fundraising campaign will be ongoing through March, when budget allocations will be determined.

Topaz seeking Locke’s council seat BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

Stephen Topaz has a lot of ideas for the future of St. Helens. The former medical technology consultant is running for Position 2 on the St. Helens City Council against incumbent Keith Locke. Locke joined the council in 2000, and is a former employee of Boise Paper Mill. Topaz was born in Mystic, Conn., and has lived in Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Utah. He has lived in St. Helens since 2000. He has been active with St. Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO) and much of his political platform focuses on economic development for the local community. “It comes down to jobs, jobs, jobs,” Topaz said. Among the issues Topaz wants to take on as a city councilor is what he sees as an overly restrictive,

slow-moving and costly building permit system. “The system tries to pay for its own operation by the cost of permits,” Topaz said. He believes the cost is too high because of how the system works and may prohibit some builders from moving forward with projects. “A lot of places, that part of the city government is paid for by general funds rather than the permit itself,” he said. According to St. Helens City Manager John Walsh, the city maintains a building reserve fund to hold the surplus revenue from active years and assist in balancing those years with less activity. During the recession, despite significant budget cuts, the building reserve became exhausted and the city used general fund resources to balance the fund. This loan was later repaid and the fund has fully recovered with a modest reserve, according to Walsh.

“In the current model, building pays for building and [is] only subsidized by the general fund to balance cyclical trends,” Walsh said. “Given Steve Topaz the state of the city’s budget over the past several years this model has been essential to the city’s capacity to fund other desired community programs and services.” “The cost of a building permit, though it can be significant on some projects, is usually incidental to the overall construction

cost and unlikely has much influence on a builders overall decision to build,” Walsh said. Regarding the plans for the waterfront redevelopment in St. Helens, Topaz expressed concern about several aspects of the project. He said the lagoon that the city wishes to fill with soil from regional cleanup sites does not sit on stable ground, and he said there is strong possibility of an earthquake causing significant damage to location.

Topaz questioned the ability of the sealed fill material to withstand degradation during the passing of time or a natural disaster. The lagoon is already partially lined for protection, but a new liner and cap would be installed to encapsulate the material, creating a sealed and buried capsule of waste and clearing the land for development. Topaz said filling the lagoon negates the possibility of using it for anything that would require a structure, losing value for the city in the form of industrial development such as lift docks for repairing boats. “Look at what that property could generate in the next 50 years,” he said. Jail funding is an issue Topaz would like to see rethought at all levels of government. He is concerned about the financial strain created by inmates with housing, drug, alcohol or mental health issues who are held in the corrections system rather than provided some form of diversion

or treatment program. Topaz said education is everybody’s issue and wants to see more from the council in terms of education policy. He wants to see more to career technical education programs that will help students and residents transition directly from training to the workforce. An industrial training center similar to what is planned in Scappoose would be a big draw for St. Helens, according to Topaz. Overall, Topaz said the city council should be more active in pursuing businesses that will stimulate the local economy. In the wake of the heavily reduced timber industry, he said the council should pursue a permanent replacement for that economic driver, one that draws on skilled labor and brings economic prosperity directly to the people of St. Helens.

School districts seek building funds Perkins Creek Campground closing is an area for safety. “There is a huge need across the state, that’s why Oregon has put money aside for to help make our school buildings safe,” he said. “At least now we are trying to address the problem.” Carter said school districts across the state are challenged because there is limited state funding for the earthquake safety projects forcing the districts to prioritize. A lottery-type drawing is held to select what districts receives the funding based on a perbuilding need. “We decided the work needed to be done at Hudson Park Elementary School, the high school and the commons,” Carter said. Rainier applied for the earthquake retrofitting cash late last year. “We applied for five grants,” Carter said. “There was a drawing and we were notified in January that we were not selected to receive the funding.” During Oct. 10, Rainier School Board meeting, Carter announced that the district would continue to seek the safety grants. The school districts are applying for the grants through the Oregon Department of Education and the Oregon Department of Geology and Industries. “If we got the yes, we would go after matching funds. We want to get it all

It is something that Rainier School Superintendent Michael Carter says keeps him up at night. Making the school buildings as safe as possible for students, staff and the community. Carter, concerned about retrofitting the school district’s buildings to make them earthquake safe, is pursuing state funding for that effort. “It is not if an earthquake will strike, it is when it will strike,” he said. “It is one of the things that keeps me up at night. You are trying to make sure your whole complex is safe. This is one of those things that is bigger than I am and out of my control.” In 2015, the Rainier School District contracted with an engineering firm to evaluate the earthquake risks of the buildings, including Hudson Park Elementary School and Rainier Jr/Sr High School. The district paid approximately $39,000 for the evaluation. Carter said the buildings are susceptible to rolling or jolting earthquakes, which d- can be damaging. The engineering evaluaate tion report suggested a retrofit of project that would cost apmbia proximately $5 million. mAccording to Carter, the ubproject would create a life a alth zone in the buildings, so that if the building collapses, there f ia look part o Scappoose Police Departthe N ment arrested a man involved in a motor vehicle accident that knocked out power to much of Scappoose, Oct. 21.

done at once if possible. If they only give me money for one or two buildings, I am not going sit there, we will have that work done.” Clatskanie School District Superintendent Dr. Lloyd Hartley said as far as he knew there has been no study done at the Clatskanie schools to find out the earthquake risks. “If there was funding available we would move ahead with such a study,” he said. Hartley said the state’s funding system for the earthquake safety projects isn’t currently workable for his district. “This is a lottery system and we feel that our seismic numbers are not high enough to quality for the grant money,” he said. “Once some of the other school districts get that grant money, then our numbers will get closer to that point where it might we worthwhile to apply for it.” In the meantime, Hartley said he is concentrating on the most immediate infrastructure issues in the district. “Our buildings have main issues to be addressed and there just hasn’t been the funding to do that,” he said. “Concrete work at the high school, roofing issues and heating systems in the district are the three main issue right now that we need to do, but we have not addressed those because of the funding.”

It has been their passion since 2005 and now Ken and Diana Krotzer are retiring and attempting to sell the Perkins Creek Campground, LLC at 19554 Swedetown Road in Clatskanie. Several years ago, the former church camp across the street from the Krotzer’s home was put up for sale and the couple decided they wanted to buy it. “We lived across the street and we often heard them singing and it would permeate the whole valley,” Krotzer said. “It was so beautiful. So when they closed up my husband and I, with lots of prayers, decided to buy it.” Krotzer said they started out doing a lot of work to make the campground they envisioned. “We started out repairing the bridge and putting in a road and all the electricity,” she said. “We put in all the sites and the septics to the sites. It was a major undertaking.” The Krotzer’s also built a house on the land and added a barn and two shops and were able to open the Perkins Creek Campground in 2005.

“We had 14 camping spaces and an upper campground that was used for family reunions and all sorts of other family and group gatherings,” she said. Over the years the Perkins Creek Campground attracted church groups and others from the local area as well as around the world. “We had people from all the European nations and people from all over the world stay here,” Diana said. “It was such a comfortable feeling. People said it was so safe. We were proud of all that we had done to accommodate the people and we thank them for their patronage.” The Krotzers said they would miss all those that came to their campground. “We enjoyed it and we had some many wonderful people come in,” Krotzer said. “It was a time in our lives that was a huge part of our lives that we will never forget.” Krotzer said she and her husband especially wanted to thank Wauna Mill, Beaver Falls Plant and Clatskanie PUD, and all the other workers that came to stay at out campground to do work in the area. “Sometimes they were

here for weeks and months,” she said. “It was amazing how many workers were told this was a safe and good place to stay.” The Krotzers had attempted to sell the property as a commerce site. “The value of this property is between $550,000 and $650,000,” Krotzer said. But even though they had two potential buyers, the Krotzers said the high cost of doing an appraisal of the property has disrupted the commercial sale chances. “We breezed through the inspections but we had to have an appraisal which would cost anywhere from $6,000 to $50,000,” she said. “Nobody in the right mind would pay that amount of money.” The Krotzers have decided to close the campground and try to sell it as a personal home site. “We want to retire and move on,” Krotzer said. “We are proud of what we did. We have been blessed. Now it is time to move on.” The Krotzers said they are closing the campground on Oct. 31. For more information about Perkins Creek Campground, call the Krotzers at 503-728-4407.

Bon fires were a favorite of those that gathered at the Perkins Creek Campground in Clatskanie. The campground operators have put the property up for sale and are retiring.

St. Helens School District Capital Bond Measure November 8, 2016 Why In the fall of 2015, the District met with hundreds of community members through 16 different listening sessions as part of a strategic planning process during which questions and concerns were raised regarding the condition of the Middle School and High School buildings, the condition of science and technology labs, and the need to reduce the use of portable classrooms like those housing the CCEC alternative high school. The safety and security of the district’s schools were also a concern of the community. Components of the bond proposal The St. Helens School Board has developed a $49 million school bond program that would address repairs, provide new construction, renovation, furnishing and equipping of schools and classrooms in addition to safety and security improvements. If approved, the District may be eligible for $4 million in state matching funds allowing for additional facility improvements to the High School. Due to retiring previous bonds this measure, if passed, is expected to result in no increase in the District’s existing overall bond tax rate of $1.38 per $1,000 of assessed value. If the measure passes, bond funds would be used for: New Construction Repairs: Replace outdated schools by building two new Protect the community’s investment in schools. schools: The bond proposal would provide repairs to the High School’s Building “A”. • St. Helens Middle School • CCEC - alternative high school Safety and Security Update safety and security systems, and make The new schools will increase capacity and seismic and ADA improvements. reduce the use of portable classrooms.

could find a way to meet it. “We were in a church building, there wasn’t a lot of room, and they weren’t with their peers,” Hart said. “Some of them were living out of cars… we felt like it would be so much better if they could go to school… we just thought it would be a better environment for them and their children.” The approved grant led the creation of Cubs Corner Childcare at St. Helens High School. The program also added the Little Lions Preschool as it grew, and that program recently expanded thanks to a Preschool Promise grant. Childcare Director Martine Barnett said despite some concerns that having teen parents in the school system could influence other young people to get pregnant, she has seen something else – other students get a glimpse of how hard it is to be teen parent. While some TV programs might glorify teen pregnancy, the reality is often less than glamorous. “They get the broad picture of what full-time parenting looks like, and they see their classmates some days struggling to get up in the morning… maybe some spit-up on their shoulder, and see that it isn’t Teen Mom on TV,” Barnett said. “They see that there are great parts of parenting, but then there’s a lot of other hard parts.” Barnett said Hart is the foundation of the program, and without her grant-writing efforts the childcare program would not exist. While the program continues to grow, there are enough interested parents that a wait list is necessary, so there is more work to be done for the community. Watching the program take shape has been rewarding for Hart, and she said it has come a long way as the years passed. “Our Kiwanis built the first playground here for the childcare center,” she said. “And now it’s several rooms, many more children, and it serves the public.” Along the way, Hart has seen students from the childcare center become successful people in part thanks to the support they received.

“Ronald has been here for 24 years and this was an important year for him – he’s very upset that he couldn’t come,” Hart said. “Our local McDonalds really supports the Children’s Fair, but it was a corporate decision to pull all appearances. While Ronald McDonald was certainly missed, this year’s Children’s Fair was no less a special event. The auditorium at St. Helens High School was packed with joyful youngsters and adults, costumed characters and games galore. Perhaps next year, a certain famous clown will be able to make his 25th appearance.

Looking to the future, childcare students also earn dual credit through Portland Community College that could be applied toward higher education goals in the field of early childhood education. Around the same time she applied for the childcare grant, Hart said the first Children’s Fair was conceived. Hart and 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. 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.” After attending every year since 1992, Ronald McDonald was absent from the Children’s Fair this year. The popular clown fell victim to the national hysteria about scary clowns and the restaurant chain McDonalds pulled his appearance.

Road warriors: Lions beat first-placed Sandy BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins

It was the biggest game of the year. They had already locked up a playoff spot, but despite that, the Lions had something to prove: they needed to prove they could beat the best. They went on the road to play the conference-leading Pioneers last Friday, and pulled out the upset, 9-7. “It was probably one of the bigger wins in some time, just regarding the fact that it was a team with a winning record, on the road,” head coach Cory Young said. “They’re league champs and it also ended up getting us a home game. We had some big wins last year but as far as beating a quality team on the road, that’s one of the biggest ones in a long, long time.” Coming into the game, these teams were the top scoring offenses in the Northwest Oregon Conference – and yet, it all came down to defense. Each team walked away having only scored one touchdown, and the Lions (7-2) didn’t reach the end zone until 6:52 left in the fourth, when Jax Ogle ran it in from the 15yard line in what would be the game-winning touchdown. After a few possession exchanges, the Pioneers marched down the field. The dynamic Sandy offense had been able to get yardage all night, but was never able to turn those gains into points, aside from their first drive of the second half

when senior quarterback Grayson Kansala found Gabriel Poulin with enough space to get to the end zone from seven yards out. With the clocking ticking down, the Pioneers were threatening. A pass to tight end Maysen Graham got the ball to the goal line, only for it to be called back on a holding penalty. “We’ve been in those situations before where we had to get stops over the last two years and our kids are pretty confident in that,” Young said. “We went out there and I told the kids, ‘We’re going to punt the ball and win it on defense.’ And that’s what we did.” “We’ve been playing good defense all year. We’ve done it really well week in and week out, and they see how many points we’re giving up compared to everybody else in the state and they take pride in that. They also know their assignments. We’re strong up front and we have a big physical defensive line, which helps take away the run game,” Young said. Though the offense struggled all night, they were able to get yardage when they needed it. In total, the Lions only converted 13 first downs and gained 227 yards, and Sandy out-gained them by 45 yards and converted four more first downs. But they still broke off four runs of ten yards or more, including Ogle’s 15-yard gamewinning run. “Everybody playing as a family led to our success; linemen blocking was great,” Ogle said. “And

our defense was fantastic keeping them from scoring except for once.” “[Sandy is] pretty tough defensively inside,” Young said. “They read well, they play well, their linebackers are pretty good. So some of our stretch-jet plays came out real well and that was our running backs reading the blocks well on the edges.” “The trap play that we

ran to score on – great counter call. We blocked up front and Jax hit the hole, and we made a great play,” Young said. The Lions haven’t advanced to the second round of the playoffs since the Oregon Sports and Activities Association (OSAA) instituted 5A and 6A classifications, and the Lions haven’t won state since 1996. Though the Lions are

looking straight into the eyes of history, their only concern is next week. “It was a big win,” Ogle said. “We were really happy after the game, because we got a home playoff game.” “They believe in what they do, they believe in each other,” Young said. “But they’re not happy yet. They want to work. They want to be better. They know they could still im-

prove on things.” After the game the captains talked about improvements – particularly blocking up front and creating holes for the running backs. The 154 total yards rushing was the lowest of the season. And for the Lions to advance past Hermiston, that simply won’t do. Kick off is 7:00 p.m. at Doc Ackerson Stadium.

Lions enter postseason with momentum BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins

The Lions will have home field advantage in the first round of the playoffs this Friday, when the Hermiston Bulldogs come to town. The Lions are 4-1 at home this season. Hermiston (5-4) is coming off a win over Pendleton, marking their fifth league win in seven games. They finished their season on a strong note, winning four of the last five, with their most notable win coming over 17th-ranked Bend on Oct. 14. In their most recent three-game winning streak, the Bulldogs limited their turnovers. After averaging nearly two turnovers per game, they coughed the ball up twice total in that time span. In their most recent loss, they turned it over five times in the first half. Some of that is a product of inexperience, with sophomore Andrew James running the show behind center. But the Bulldogs also run a high octane spread offense that is capable of putting points on the board in a hurry. James is a proven runner – a challenge the Lions have faced before, most notably last week when they faced Sandy’s Grayson Kansala. But James also has a special receiver in junior Dayshawn Neal, who has 12 touchdowns this season, and has posted as many as four in one game. He’ll have the height advantage on the outside, coming in at six-foot-one. “They throw the ball around, they got some good athletes, they’ll try to put some points on the board,” head coach Cory Young said. “We’ve defended that all year long and we expect

ourselves to show up and play some good football.” Senior Haidon Allen said the team understands the stakes of the game, but isn’t changing his preparation. “Hermiston is our first playoff game,” Allen said. “It’s win or the season’s over. So this is the biggest test yet. So we’re preparing like we always do: to win.” “[The] challenges is they have an explosive offense so our defense needs to bring our A-game so we can go to the next round,” senior running back Jax

Ogle said. On the other side of the ball the Bulldogs play athletically. “Really athletic secondary, probably the most athletic secondary we’ve seen at this point,” Young said. But the Lions are coming into the postseason with momentum and confidence. They ended their season on a four-game winning streak and just beat the top-seeded team in the conference. While confidence is important, a desire to work is even more critical, and the

Lions have been consistently humble all season. One of the smaller schools in 5A, the Lions compete with an edge. After the win last Friday, senior captain Myles Terry described his team as the “people’s champs.” And

though the gaudy offensive numbers are what have stood out on the stat sheet this season, the safety also said that if this team were to advance, it would be because of their defense. “That’s what the best defense in the state looks

like,” Terry said. And on Friday a win over Hermiston brings the Lions one game closer to being not only the people’s champs, but state champs.

GIRLS SOCCER

Lions look toward the future after season ends BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins

The first act may be over, but the show is just beginning for St. Helens girls’ soccer. After starting the season 8-2, and looking like a real threat in the Northwest Oregon Conference, the Lions dropped their last four games of the season to miss the 2016 state playoffs. The slide began after a big win over Milwaukie, when the Lions (8-6) fell to Wilsonville on Oct. 11. In part, that was due to a higher level of competition going down the stretch – three of the past four games were against top ten teams, Wilsonville (10th), Hillsboro (6th) and La Salle (1st) – but they also suffered an injury to freshmen forward Mackenzie Carlson, who went down with a deep bone bruise before the half against Milwaukie. “We always knew Wilsonville and Hillsboro would be tougher games than we had earlier in the season, but at the same time, I think in both of those games we made some mistakes early on, some individual errors here and there, which is normal, and unfortunately that put us on the

wrong foot for those results,” head coach Simon Date said. Despite the losing streak, the Lions were still one win away from qualifying for the play-in game. And the loss that sticks out most on the schedule came against Putnam (4-10-1) on Oct. 20 – they would go on to finish sixth in the conference, one spot ahead of St. Helens. “Honestly, I would put that on myself more than anybody else,” Date said. “We weren’t prepared properly. I went to scout them a couple of days before and I came into the game literally having no concerns that we were going to beat them…And I let our team know that we didn’t have much to worry about.” When diagnosing that loss, Date and junior captain Braya Hutton pointed to slow starts and a lack of focus early in the game. Losses against Wilsonville and Hillsboro followed the same pattern. “Looking back, I think our game preparation was what set our good games from our off games apart,” Hutton said. “When we had a good warmup and everyone’s head was in it, we played as a single unit, and had great success. Though, when we went in

overconfident…we typically struggled more.” In their final game against La Salle, the Lions lost 3-1, though they played the topranked Falcons tough, and were within one goal in the

on our team and if we play together, the soccer is fantastic. We also learned though, that consistency is key, and if we want to have long-term success, we have to play the way we know how to play, every

“People in the conference have begun to take notice of the increased talent level competing at Doc Ackerson Stadium. Date said Hillsboro coach, Dean Miyama, told him after their match that this was the best Lions team he has faced since he started coaching the Spartans and Date himself was recognized as coach of the year in the NWOC.” second period after a Carlson goal at the 27:24 mark. The losses this year, Date says, is not due to a lack of talent, but a lack of experience. For a team that only plays one senior, this year was pivotal for player development -and, to use the old cliché, “learning how to win.” “We always knew this year was going to be about getting a solid core group together and next year will be when it really comes together,” Date said. “I would describe the season as a learning year,” Hutton said. “We learned a lot. We learned how good we actually are, and that we have an amazing amount of talent

game.” If this team is graded on its place in the standings, the Lions finished in the same spot they did in 2015. But despite the seventhplace finish, this team finished with a winning record, the fifth highest ranking in the NWOC and the second most goals scored in the conference.

“That’s the disappointing thing for me, individually as a coach,” Date said. “We’re going to be looked at as the seventh-placed team… Anyone outside of St. Helens will say, ‘Oh, well that’s just St. Helens. They finished in the seventh spot, that’s where they always finish,’” Date said. But people in the conference have begun to take notice of the increased talent level competing at Doc Ackerson Stadium. Date said Hillsboro coach Dean Miyama told him after their match that this was the best Lions team he has faced since he started coaching the Spartans and Date himself was recognized as coach of the year in the NWOC. So the Lions walk away from the season bruised, but not beaten. And next season, not only will they be a more experienced team, but also one with a four-game losing

streak sized chip on their shoulder. “When we come in next June, we’re going to have a varsity squad of at least 14 players who played last year who know what it’s like to be that excited about a season and then for it to all fall apart at the end. And that motivates them,” Date said. “If there’s anything positive to come out of about not getting things right, it’s the fact that next June we’re going to have 14 very frustrated, very annoyed girls, [with] a chip on their shoulder.” “Because as it came down to it, we played some impressive soccer and had some great wins,” Hutton said. “But we also had off days, which is why we had those loses. Overall, it was a great year because now we know not only how good we are but also what we need to be successful.” “Next year is going to be insane,” the captain added.
