Water customers to city: ‘Don’t raise our rates!’ BY DON PATTERSON publisher@thechronicleonline.com
Impassioned testimony at a sparsely attended hearing caused the St. Helens City Council to continue deliberations on a proposed utility rate increase and instruct Finance Director John Ellis to explore alternatives that would lessen the impact on low-income users. “Are you guys nuts for thinking about a rate increase?” St. Helens resident Cindy Matzen asked the council. “People out here haven’t had a pay raise in five years.” At the public hearing held on Nov. 19, Ellis explained the proposed rate increase of 4.5 percent per year for the next two years amounts to an average of $4.10 for a residential user in 2014 and $4.29 in 2015. This increase, he said, is far less than the double digit increases seen in past years. He also noted annual operating costs had actually fallen from $7 million in 2008 to $6.5 million in 2012. This was due, Ellis explained, to cost savings measures and staff reductions over the period. But that left resident Joy Boren unconvinced. Boren, who said she works for a nonprofit, claimed organiza-

County commissioners and the sheriff’s office joined city council members, law enforcement, judges, the district attorney’s office, community corrections and others for a Nov. 25 roundtable summit to discuss the county jail’s future.
Jail closure options spelled out
BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com
The county’s movers and shakers gathered Monday evening at the Columbia County Fairgrounds for what promises to be the first of several public meetings to discuss the steps necessary to close the county jail. A four-year levy that would have provided about $10 million in funding to the jail over the four years failed to pass on Nov. 5. Without additional funds, Sheriff Jeff Dickerson told those at the Nov. 25 summit that closing the jail is the only option. “It has taken several years of reduced funding and increased costs to get us here,” said Dickerson. For those worried about word spreading to other areas that the jail’s financial woes mean criminals spend little to no time behind bars, Dickerson said that has already happened. In mid October, Randy
Parker and Tomas Schlickeiser apparently traveled from Seattle to Columbia County with the intention of burglarizing some area homes. When the pair were caught breaking into a St. Helens home by an alert neighbor, police responded and a chase ensued. The two traveled down Highway 30 with speeds in excess of 100 mph before crashing into the athletics fields at Scappoose High. “Once they were in our custody, we received word from our other inmates that Parker and Schlickeiser were a little disappointed. They had heard we weren’t keeping people in jail in Columbia County and were shocked to find out they did not qualify for matrix release. They stayed in jail and were both sentenced to prison following convictions earlier this month. That’s the way it’s supposed to work,” Dickerson said, adding the pair may have been a little early. “What they’ve heard in Seattle about not going to
jail in Columbia County just might come true.” According to the sheriff, the jail already has a budget shortfall in excess of $600,000 for the next fiscal year, but will likely to climb to $1.7 million as the number of beds filled by federal inmates declines over the next several months. The summit meeting was held, in part, to get all of the city councils, mayors, law enforcement agencies, district attorney’s office, community corrections, municipal and circuit court judges and others directly impacted by the jail closing in the same room to consider ideas and options. “We are at a juncture here,” said Commissioner Tony Hyde. “We need to study the reality of the situation and put a path forward.” Dickerson outlined two options for moving forward. The first option would be to transition to a local lockup. “This first option is something we don’t have the money to do but it would
cost a lot less than running the jail,” Dickerson said. With a local lockup, anyone arrested could be held for a maximum of 36 hours (96 hours on holidays or on weekends). “The requirements of a local lockup are that we need at least one person to watch the people at all times. We have to be able to feed them and provide medical assistance once we take them in. We would still have to rent beds for our longer term holds – those serving time for murder, attempted murder, or sexual assault,” Dickerson added. The second option, and the one the sheriff said is the only one that would be affordable under the current budget, would be a total jail closure and then rent as many beds as possible from another county. “They won’t allow us to do book and releases. If we take them to that jail, we have to go get them. They don’t want our criminals in their county. Put yourself
in their place, we wouldn’t want that either. This is our only affordable option at this point,” the sheriff added. The summit meeting is just the first of several public meetings to be held in the upcoming months. The sheriff and commissioners will be scheduling town hall meetings throughout the county to allow, not just officials, but county citizens to offer input and comments on the any proposals being considered. The next meeting – which has yet to be scheduled – will be a hybrid meeting with one part being another “stakeholder” meeting and a second part inviting public comment. Look for the date and time for future meetings to be announced in the coming weeks. MORE ONLINE Read more on this story at thechronicleonline.com
Scappoose bank robber eludes police Hunting SCAPPOOSE — A Friday afternoon robbery at Chase Bank inside the Fred Meyer grocery story sent police officers from across the area on an hours long search for the suspect. At approximately 3 p.m. on Nov. 22, Scappoose Police received a report of a robbery that had just occurred at the Chase Bank inside the Fred Meyers grocery store at 51501 Columbia River Highway. Joining the search were officers from St. Helens, Columbia County
Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and three K-9 officers from Tigard Police Department, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and St. Helens Police Department. According to reports from Scappoose Police, a white male was seen running from the Chase Bank in an unknown direction. A large perimeter was established around the area where the male suspect was last seen running, primarily in the area of Old Portland and Callahan roads. Despite
spending several hours searching nearby buildings the suspect was not found. Lt. Norman Miller of the Scappoose Police Department said his office is working with the FBI to find the suspect. Authorities are reviewing store security tapes from the time of the robbery. Miller said because of the investigation, he could not comment on specific details such as a description of the suspect or how much money was taken during the robbery.

Lindsay Roub’s decision to take advantage of the last day of the hunting season is a decision the 24-year-old St. Helens woman isn’t likely to forget anytime soon. Roub and her boyfriend, Raymond Ozias, 39, also from St. Helens, headed out on the afternoon of Nov. 1 to go hunting just a few miles west of Scappoose. Roub said she and Ozias picked the area because her dad and her uncle had seen deer in the area previously. But just barely 10 minutes into the hunting trip, disaster struck. “We parked on the main road and we were walking down the bank side. As we got toward the bottom I started to slip,” said Roub. “So I asked him to grab my See RECOVERY, Page A3

County law enforcement agencies Fire Reports to crack down on drunk drivers Scappoose Fire District
The holiday season typically sees an increase in the number of intoxicated drivers on the road. In an effort to crack down on impaired drivers, several police agencies will be participating in an upcoming enforcement campaign. St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss announced the plan, which will begin with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Officers from St. Helens, Vernonia, Rainier and Clatskanie will join with deputies from the Columbia
County Sheriff’s Office to aggressively seek out drunk drivers. “Impaired driving has become increasingly dangerous in Columbia County during the holiday season,” said Moss. “That’s why we’re joining forces with other Columbia County law enforcement agencies to crack down on impaired drivers.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration more than 10,000 Americans die each year in alcohol related crashes. That’s
one every 48 minutes. In an effort to reduce the number of local accidents, Columbia County law enforcement agencies are offering these simple, but important tips; • Plan ahead. If you are planning to drink, plan ahead: volunteer to be a designated driver, designate a sober driver or arrange for a taxi to pick you up at a set time. • Be responsible. If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don’t let someone who
has been drinking get behind the wheel. • Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out. • Buckle up, every trip, every time. • Drive defensively at all times. Moss also reminds drivers they too have a role in keeping roadways safer. He says drivers are urged to immediately report, dangerous, and intoxicated drivers in Columbia County by calling 9-1-1 or call 503-3971521.

Citizens warned of scam
On Nov. 20, 2013, the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office, Warrenton Police Department and Seaside Police Department received several reports from citizens who received phones calls from a man pretending to be a major with the sheriff’s office. The man introduced himself as “Major Tom Wilson” and told the victims they had missed jury duty and were going to be arrested. The suspect told the victims they could avoid going to jail if they would go to Wal-Mart or Walgreens and buy $1,000 “Green Dot MoneyPak” cards. The cards would supposedly cover the fines for failing to appear for jury duty. The suspect instructed the victim to buy the cards, scratch off the numbers on the back, and provide those numbers to the suspect. Anyone the cardholder shares the number with, has instant access to the cash. Green Dot MoneyPak cards are reloadable debit cards, commonly available, which can be used to pay phone, cable, or credit card bills. Scammers like them because they’re more convenient than a money wire, but just as untraceable. The Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office will never call a citizen and ask for payment of any kind. If you received a call similar to this and have yet to report it, you are encouraged to do so by calling 503-325-8635.

Tidewater Barge selected for Morrow Pacific project The Morrow Pacific project has signed a letter of intent with Vancouver, Wash.based Tidewater Barge Lines to provide tug and barge transportation service on the Columbia River. “The Morrow Pacific project is committed to doing business the Oregon way, taking every necessary precaution to protect our environment and working with local companies to strengthen our economy,” said Clark Moseley, CEO of the Morrow Pacific project. “We are confident in Tidewater’s expertise, and look forward to working with them in the coming months.” During the initial stages of Morrow Pacific operations, Tidewater expects to add approximately 50 vessel, maintenance and administrative employees to its workforce to operate the tugs and barges that will transport coal in covered barges from the Port of Morrow to Port Westward at the Port of St. Helens. Ambre Energy, which is heading the project, has said these will be permanent, familywage jobs with benefits. “At Tidewater, we’re experts in river transportation. Our focus is, and always has been, on safety and protecting the environment and the communities we serve. For more than 80 years, Tidewater has safely, cleanly and
efficiently moved commodities such as grain, petroleum and forest products on the Columbia River,” said Bob Curcio, president and CEO of Tidewater. “The Morrow Pacific project provides exciting opportunities for Tidewater and strengthens our regional export economy.”
Ambre is currently seeking permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of State Lands and Department of Environmental Quality, and is projecting to be operational by the beginning of 2015. Ambre Energy’s project will ship coal by rail from

gun… he grabbed the butt, but it hit a tree and I think that’s what knocked the safety off. It hit the dirt and then just fired.” Roub’s 7mm Magnum rifle fired a shot, striking heer in the leg. The bullet traveled up her leg, striking her pelvis and fracturing it. Shrapnel then travel further into her body lacerating her colon and liver. Disbelief came over the couple as they realized what had just happened. Her boyfriend quickly removed his belt and used it as a tourniquet. Unfortunately, there was no cell phone reception in the area. Ozias realized he was going to have leave Roub alone where she was so he could go for help. “I was terrified as I laid there alone in the woods, holding the belt tight that was wrapped around my leg,” said Roub. “I kept telling myself not to let go of the belt. I thought for sure I was going to die or lose my leg.” Roub recalls holding on to the tourniquet even though her hands had gone numb

and she couldn’t feel the belt anymore. She said she had to keep checking it visually to make sure the tourniquet was still in place. “Amazingly she didn’t have any life-threatening injuries. It didn’t hit any major arteries, it didn’t hit any major organs,” said Monica Wakeland, Roub’s cousin and one of several family members helping to care for her. “Now she’s going to be recovering for three to four months.” Ozias eventually made his way to an area with cell phone coverage and was able to reach Roub’s father. Help arrived approximately 20-30 minutes later and Lindsay was transferred by ambulance to the hospital. “The safety was on. We do not know how this could have happened,” said Wakeland. “But there’s so much to be thankful for.” Over the next 18 days she would remain in the hospital to have seven separate surgeries to repair the damage left behind by the bullet. As the mother of a fiveyear-old son and two older stepchildren, Roub said the
toughest part so far is getting used to other people taking care of her. “I can’t even get up without help because I’m not allowed to use those hip muscles at all. So I have to have somebody lift my leg every single time. I’m finding it really hard to depend on people,” Roub said. A graduate of Scappoose High’s class of 2007, Roub now works as a dental assistant for Dr. Rex Murray in St. Helens. Murray has kindly offered to hold her job for her once she’s back on her feet. She is also the granddaughter of former dance instructor Elaine Lease. With all of those surgeries and a lengthy hospital stay comes a hefty price tag. To help ease the financial stress Roub will soon face, her family has set up a website at www.Help4Lindsay.com where donations can be made to help pay for her medical expenses. All donations are made securely through PayPal. An account has also been set up at St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union.

Intermountain states to the Port of Morrow near Boardman, Ore. There it will be transferred to an enclosed storage facility and loaded onto covered barges through an enclosed conveyor. The coal will then be shipped down the Columbia River to Port of St. Helens’ Port
Westward Industrial Park. There, enclosed transloaders will transfer the coal onto covered oceangoing Panamax ships bound for Asian markets such as Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. Ambre says the Morrow Pacific project is setting new standards for protecting the
environment while supporting the economy, beginning with off-loading of coal at the Port of Morrow facility until it arrives in Asia. The Australia-based company has said there will be no visible coal and little, if any, coal dust. For more information, visit MorrowPacific.com.
WATER: resident subsidies being considered From PAGE A1
tions like hers that help low-income residents are not getting money from the government and won’t be able to help. “I can’t afford a raise [in utility cost]. I’m on a fixed income and everything is up.” Boren told the council. She also stated her concern that small businesses in the city can’t give raises. The proposed increase results in $862,100 in additional revenue for the two-year period, according to Ellis. The increase maintains adequate capital reserves, maintains debt ratios at current levels and preserves the ability for the city to borrow should an emergency arise. Two other alternatives to the 4.5 percent increase, one for a 2 percent increase and one for no increase, would require additional cuts in services like street sweeping and snow removal. Both would also leave
the city with lower reserves and at risk of rate spikes in the future. Ellis acknowledged the negative effect any increase would have on some residents. “Over 20 percent of users pay the late fees. Those fees alone amount to over $100,000 per year,” he noted. “There is a low income group out there this will impact.” The water department budget has been strained in recent years by costs of new water treatment processes and upgrades required to come into compliance with state and federal guidelines, while payments from Boise has plummeted. “We’ve cut and cut and cut,” said Councilor Susan Conn, expressing her exasperation, “I don’t know where else we can cut.” After deliberating, the council asked Ellis to explore an alternative that would offer subsidies to residents with a documented need, while
curtailing or eliminating the current subsidies for senior citizens. The senior subsidy averages $30 per month and amounts to about $100,000. “We’re looking at migrating from a senior subsidy to a subsidy for the poor,” said councilor Keith Locke. Not all the speakers were against the rate increase. “I’m glad to see it’s not as much as last year,” said resident Howard Blumenthal, who suggested the city stop lowering the system development fees and decommission part of the sewage pond as a way to mitigate the need for an increase. Most who took the time to attend the hearing felt the city should work harder to find a way not to raise rates. “There are so many people out there who can’t afford it,” observed Matzen. Obviously moved by the emotional pleas of the residents, councilor Morten remarked, “Those were tough comments to hear today.”

A BENEFIT FOR ANGIE
Angie was officially diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in June of this year. Angie is a single mother of 3 wonderful children. She has two boys (18, 15) and a beautiful baby girl (11 months). Angie has just completed her Chemotherapy and is scheduled for her first of two major surgeries on December 6th. We are fortunate living in a community that is willing to step up to help others in their time of need, and for Angie that time is now. Angie will be unable to work for at least 3 months and possibly longer depending on her recovery time. As a single mother Angie’s priority is caring for her family. Our fundraising efforts will allow Angie to keep her house, afford transportation, heat her home and provide basic needs for her family while she is unable to work. The local community has been great providing food and meals for Angie and her family. Angie is a Dietary Manager at a local nursing home. Angie loves her work and the patients she provides care for.

Crews wrap up Fishhawk Lake, Hudson bridge projects Columbia County crews recently wrapped up two major bridge projects. One of those projects was a $1.7 million capital project to replace the Fishhawk Bridge at the Fishhawk Creek crossing, providing drivers with wider 12-foot lanes and new safety shoulders. Of the total project cost, the road department had to match the project with $175,000, which was done using system preservation dollars. The project, which began last spring, was to replace the outdated channel restricting structure that crossed over Fishhawk Creek at the mouth of Fishhawk Lake. The bridge construction was a staged construction project to allow residents of the Fishhawk community to have access to the far end of the lake during construction. Most of the work was completed after the Fourth of July holiday, when the bridge removal would be allowed to be completed. The bulk of the work on the approach and containment was com-
pleted after the in water work window opened in July with closure of the first lane. After a few weeks of work the second lane was closed allowing traffic to drive on the new section of bridge while the second phase was removed. This plan came together successfully as minimal delays for area residents only came while construction crews set the new bridge slabs. The six-month project was awarded to Rotschy Inc in November 2012. The design work was completed by Parametrix Engineering of Portland. Hudson Park Bridge Another project completed recently was the Hudson Park Bridge at the Beaver Creek crossing, providing drivers with wider 12-foot lanes and new safety shoulder. Of the $950,000 total project cost, the Parks Department had to match $98,000. The project, which began last spring, was to replace the outdated timber structure that crossed over Beaver Creek. The bridge was weight
limited after inspections found the structure to be structurally deficient to carry heavy loads. The county had to limit the structure to 10 tons which forced some of the larger campers and motor homes to use the alternate access to other side of the park. Like the Fishhawk Creek project, the bulk of the work was done after the Fourth of July Fourth holiday, when the bridge removal would be allowed to be completed. Bulk of the work on the approach and containment was completed after the in water work window opened in July with closure of the first lane. Removal of the older timber structure needed to be completed first before excavation of the new bridge footings could be completed. The new bridge allows pedestrians to safely cross the alongside vehicle traffic. This project also took six months to complete and was awarded to Key Constructors in November 2012. The design work was completed by Parametrix Engineering of Portland.

Casey Benshoof, of St. Helens, picked the winning Halloween Raffle ticket worth $1 million.
St. Helens man picks million dollar ticket Have you ever wondered what you would do if you won a million dollars? That fantasy became a reality for one St. Helens man. Casey Benshoof became the state lottery’s 11th mil-
lion dollar top prize winner earlier this month after he picked the winning ticket in the Halloween Raffle. Benshoof purchased the winning ticket at the INR Shell Station on Havlik
Drive in Scappoose. But Benshoof wasn’t the only winner. The Shell station was also awarded a $10,000 bonus check for selling the winning ticket. The store was presented
with a check from the Oregon Lottery during a Nov. 21 celebration at the store. To mark the occasion, the lottery handed out free scratch tickets and t-shirts to store customers.
In partnership with the Columbia County Fair Board, the Warren Grange will present its newly renovated kitchen and building project in its new meeting location at the fairgrounds 4-H building. The fivemonth long remodeling project was done by local contractors and will be celebrated with a grand opening celebration on Sunday, Dec. 8 from 1-4 p.m. The festivities kick off with a flag ceremony presented by a local 4-H group, which is then followed at 1:30 p.m. with a celebrity ribbon cutting by
state Sen. Betsy Johnson. The Warren Grange has been in existence since 1915 in the Warren/ McNulty area; until 2010 when the “country home” on Millard Road was sold and the grange partnered with the Columbia County Fair Board in renting the 4-H building and adopting it to be the new home. The Warren Grange has been a long-time popular vendor at the county fair, since 1968, with its Fried Bread Booth and in recent years fried Twinkies were also added. The remodeling proj-
ect did cause a disruption to the popular Grange pancake breakfast, which will return on Jan. 11 from 7:30-11 a.m. The Warren Grange fundraisers help support a variety of area projects including: 4-H scholarships, Rodeo Court for Columbia County Fair, CASA for Kids, foster kids, mEGGa Egg Hunt, St. Helens Senior Center Meals on Wheels and lunch service, Riverside Training Center, Special Olympics, Community Meals, training of Citizen Emergency Response Teams, the
Community Scholarship Foundation and the Dairy Princess Ambassador program and many others. So save the date, pull up a chair, play some checkers and visit with neighbors as you enjoy light desserts, tour the new kitchen and take home a little gift, all courtesy of the Warren Grange. Visitors will also want to grab a 2014 schedule for the upcoming Grange Pancake Breakfast. For more information call Eva Frost, Warren Grange president, at 503543-7720.

The Warren Grange celebrates grand opening
SCAPPOOSE — The City of Scappoose is updating its Transportation System Plan (TSP) to help identify opportunities to improve the current transportation system and also forecast what it may look like through 2035. The TSP is a tool for reflecting community values and balancing the needs of those walking, bicycling, and driving. Members of the public are invited to attend a community open house on the topic: This will be a drop-in event with no formal presentation. The open house will provide an opportunity to discuss the project with the advisory committee members, city staff, and the consultant team; to review preliminary findings; and to provide input on needed transportation improvements. This will be the first of three open houses anticipated for the TSP update

Letters Investigation welcomed It is said that one of the greatest things about our country is the free press. The press has the right to publish far and wide news about current events and to publicize and raise questions or suspicions of wrongdoing by public officials. Without thinking too hard about it, I’ve always agreed with that. After all, I grew up in the period right after Watergate so it has seemed bedrock to me that investigative journalists are to be revered, and maybe even serve as a fourth check on government. Of course, another great principal in our country is the idea that people are not hastily judged and condemned after just hearing part of a story. This goes back even before the United States Constitution’s due process protections. John 7:24 “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” I’ve always felt that this was maybe even better understood in a place like Scappoose where attention is less distracted and people are more in tune with core values. Now, why am I writing? You [the press] have recently published articles and editorials about me that on the surface raise questions about my actions as police chief. By request, I have not made any comment so that investigators can proceed without interference. But, in this fast paced Internet rush-toconclusions age, I don’t want people to think that my silence means that I agree with what has been previously reported about me - I don’t. At this time and in this letter, I will not go into detail in the news why that is the case. But, I will say this: I welcome a full investigation under
Speedbump
the closest scrutiny. Already, I have fully cooperated with everything asked of me (including not going into specifics in the newspaper). I have nothing to hide, and I welcome the truth. I look forward to completion of the investigation, I look forward to complete and total vindication and I look forward to continuing to serve the City of Scappoose as its Chief of Police. Doug Greisen, Scappoose Vote them out As I drove down Highway 30 on Saturday and saw several cars at two intersections in Scappoose waiting for the oil train to pass, I thought “I guess we had better get used to it” and then some. We will have to cross our fingers that we are not waiting for a 9-1-1 response from the other side of the tracks. That was my initial thought. However, what makes me the angriest with our commissioners is their nose thumbing to the citizens of this county – and the environment. What is their answer to Columbia Riverkeeper’s take on the situation? Check out the web. The commissioners have not addressed their issues. As far as I can fathom, the commissioners are completely ignoring the pollution issue and the safety issue. The answer is for us to move? How far? It had better be pretty darn far if you look at what happened in LacMegantic in Quebec in July, a train crash that killed 47. No one can guarantee the safety of these trains, no matter how much money is invested in the rails. Quebec was caused by human error. They don’t

have an answer yet for the crash in Alabama, but in the last two years $25 million had been spent on that stretch of the Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway, $15 million of which was focused on track work. Yet, there was a spill – and into wetlands no less. Watch out Scappoose Bay. And the pollution from the trains. We should be way past this attitude that it is okay for families to have to live amongst these trains. Move? Some people cannot financially, some people don’t want to. And they should not have to! And all for this – 30 jobs? Whoopee!! The commissioners are probably sitting behind closed doors now plotting the invasion of coal. Vote them out? I’ve certainly tried and I’ll continue to do so. The good old boys (and girl) need to find others jobs before they completely ruin this county. C. Pitkin, Warren Empty promises Easing the sanctions on Iran will do nothing but get ink and reinforce American weakness in the heart of every bad player on the planet. The comments, “line in the sand,” the “don’t call my bluff;” the picture’s clearer then ever. Israel is right to be worried. Iran, the country that supplied IEDs that maimed countless American soldiers, is now thought to be sincere when they’ve been caught continuing their nuclear bomb development in secret after promising not to? Is anybody even watching? Watch. North Korea will again threaten something, somewhere, and get some ridiculous
sum in the billions of food and medicine from America in exchange for a temporary “promise” of non-aggression. Reason? America’s in a givin’ mood. Wayne Mayo, Scappoose Peaceful coexistence This night I read “Iran Nuclear Deal Reached;” I remember another agreement that had a promise of peaceful arrangement between powerful nations. An individual stood and made a speech of peace on Sept. 30, 1938, at Heston Aerodrome, in England – it would be “Peace in Our Time.” Within a year the world
would not be at peace until August 1945. In that time my father would be in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and Yugoslavia. He would be injured in Italy, continue fighting and by 1946 would be classified a 100 percent disabled veteran. My father-inlaw would serve in the Pacific and by luck of the draw would have a duty detail one afternoon when his group in loading bombs had an accident – there were no survivors. A piece of paper has had very little importance in the quest for peace – especially with those that use peace for a cover for other
purposes. The honorable Secretary of State Kerry should be fully aware that on Jan. 27, 1973, at the Majestic Hotel in Paris France, the Paris Peace Accords would be signed. It was an arrangement to end decades old conflict and have a start to a return of peace. By April 30, 1975, units of the North Vietnamese forces would enter Saigon. It is very difficult to think of peace in the Middle East when the publicly stated goals of many countries – for a very long time – has been contrary to the peaceful coexistence of diversity cultures.

Ten reasons to shop local this holiday season BY MARY HEBERLING St. Helens Economic Development Corporation
We all hear on the news, radio, internet to shop local. “Support your local businesses.” “Don’t forget that Ma and Pop Shop downtown!” But what really are the benefits of shopping local? Why should we support our community stores? Here are 10 reasons to shop local this holiday season: Local Economic Stimulus- When you purchase at locally owned businesses rather than nation-
ally owned, more money is kept in the community because they often purchase from other local businesses, service providers and farms. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local tax base. Non-Profits Receive Greater Support- Local business owners donate more to local charities than non-local owners. Shopping Local Saves You Money- Out of town shops have done a good job of convincing us that local business equals expensive. If you add travel, fees to transfer items and your time,
the overall cost is often much higher. Shopping Local Saves ServicesPrivate and pubMary Heberling lic sector services tend to cluster around shops. As shops disappear so do hairdressers, banks, restaurants, etc. Shopping Local Retains Our Distinctiveness- Independent shops create
distinctive shopping experiences and stock different products. Local businesses respond quickly to the needs of local customers, stocking products to meet the changing population needs. Customer Service is Better- Local businesses often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service. Environmental Impact is Reduced- Small local business usually set up shop in the town/village center, providing a centralized variety that is much friendlier to a community’s walk score than out of town shopping
local community. You Matter More- It’s a fact that businesses respond to their customers, but your values and desires are much more influential to your local community business than the large big box stores. Don’t forget to visit our local shops, restaurants, and cafes during the holiday season this year. Many shops in the downtown area will be open during the weekend after Thanksgiving with major sales, as well as, have extended hours during the holiday season. See you all downtown supporting your local businesses!
FIRECRACKER (F) What can you say about Firecracker she is a sweet older girl that needs to find a new forever home. She gets along with other dogs and would be a great addition to any family. We think she is right around 5 years old and we know that she weighs about 46lbs. She came to the shelter when her family had to surrender her over becasue they had to many dogs and couldn’t provide the proper care for her.

Habitat heroes on the Clatskanie restore salmon habitats BY JAN JACKSON Submitted to the Chronicle
RAINIER – Since the Oregon Forest Protection Act of 1971, when stream protection became law, restoration teams have been trying to repair habitat critical to native salmon and steelhead. One of these projects took place at the headwaters of the Clatskanie River where it runs along Oregon Apiary Road. The players involved were landowners (who provided the stream), the loggers (who provided the know-how, the equipment and the woody debris) and the watershed council (who partnered with resource people who provided the engineering skills). The adult fish in question, swim 50 miles from the ocean up the Columbia River and another 20 miles on to the headwaters of the Clatskanie River, looking for little gravely bottomed pools in which to lay their eggs and places for the hatchings to hide. When Dan Kloppman, owner and president of Nichols Logging, Inc., recognized the lack of spawning habitat along the river where it ran through his property, he appealed to the Lower Colum-

vest. Dan laid down brush so we could access the stream with minimal impact and we were able to do the job without entering the stream. As he delivered each log, I placed it according to Gray’s design.” Starting in 1949, the Oregon Fish Commission began to remove woody debris from streams to allow water to flow freely. The intent was to make better access for fish. Instead, streambeds were scoured to the point of ruining spawning habitat. Because the wood disappeared, the fish had no place to hide. Margaret Magruder, coordinator for LCRWC, is among those who are working toward turning those conditions around. “We have only begun to implement large wood projects in Columbia County,” Magruder said. “We did one on Carcus Creek but the Kloppman project is the one we will be using as a model and a test. We will monitor this so we can determine how best to implement these projects to achieve the goals of gravel recruitment and increased stream complexity. We also need to make sure the wood stays in place and that its potential movement does not negatively impact

downstream landowners and structures.” Gray, who grew up in the Seattle area, graduated from Cornell University with an undergraduate degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and a master’s in Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology, is happy to be back in
the Pacific Northwest and thrilled to be doing this kind of work. “This was my first experience working with loggers and I must say I was blown away by the skill level of Dan and K.C. handling their equipment and how they were able to do it while making such little impact,” Gray
said. “Weaving 60-foot logs between standing trees was like threading them through the eye of a needle, but K.C. did it. These guys are used to protecting what needs to be protected every day and I was lucky to have them on my team for this project.” For more information visit www.columbiaswcd.com
Columbia City to hold water protection public hearing COLUMBIA CITY — The City Council will hold a public hearing beginning at 6 p.m. on Dec. 19, to accept public testimony about proposed drinking water protection strategies for the city’s water system. The city received a technical assistance grant from the Source Water Protection Fund to complete a source water assessment update. The update included the delineation of a source
water protection area - the critical area over that part of the groundwater aquifer that supplies water to the city’s wells. That critical area is shown on the map below in three time travel zones. The largest zone represents a three-year travel time, the next zone represents a two-year travel time, and the smallest zone represents a one-year travel time. The travel time is the estimated amount of time
it would take for contaminants within that area to reach the city’s drinking water source. The project includes the development of source water protection strategies designed to protect against potential contamination to the City’s drinking water supply. Source water protection strategies also raise local community awareness of drinking water contamination risks and
provide information about how communities can help protect their drinking water sources. The Water and Sewer Committee will meet at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 4, to come up with a list of source water protection strategies they believe are most suitable for our community. They will forward their recommendations to the Council for consideration during the
December 19 meeting. The draft source water protection strategies will be made available for public inspection and posted to the city’s website by Dec. 12. An implementation schedule will also be developed for the source water protection strategies, which will be included in a Source Water Protection Plan and submitted to the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for certification.
Woodland resource fair hosted by OSU Extension office OSU Extension Service is hosting a Woodland Resource Fair on Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 5:30–7 p.m. This free event will be held at the Extension office, 505 N.

Columbia County was recently awarded federal funds made available through the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA under the Emergency Food and Shelter national board program. The received $4,422 from Oregon State set aside funding. The selection was made by a national board chaired by the U. S Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, USA; National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA; The Jewish Federations of North America, The Salvation Army; and United Way Worldwide. The local board was charged with distributing funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need area around the country. A local board made up of representatives from the United Way of Columbia County, VFW, American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Community Churches, Homeless and other community representatives will determine how the funds awarded to Columbia County are to be distributed. Qualifying organizations are urged to apply. Completed applications must be submitted by 1:00 PM, Thursday, Dec. 12. To request an application contact the United Way of Columbia County call 503-556-3614 or email uwcc@hotmail.com. Send applications to Attn: EFSP Board, PO Box 538, Rainier, OR 97048.
bia River Watershed Council (LCRWC) for help. LCRWC applied and received a grant from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB), which paved the way for the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to assign Roslyn Gray, P.E., North Coast Basin engineer to design and implement it. “Kloppman’s project was of particular interest to NRCS because of the high priority salmon habitat along a reach of stream that runs through private timberland,” Gray said. “Our goal was to place 54 pieces of woody debris in such a way that optimizes stability and ecological benefit. We expect the wood debris will develop pools, riffles, gravel bars and provide baby fish a hiding place from predators.” The woody debris used, included four mature maples, a cedar and some Douglas fir logs the landowner felled on site. The root wads were brought in from VanNatta Brothers tree farm. “The logs had to be size specific and some needed to have root wads on them,” K.C. VanNatta said. “We try to choose trees that for one reason or another are not suitable for commercial har-

Any child or youth not attending school who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence is considered homeless and includes those who are sharing housing with others due to loss of housing or economic hardship. It also includes children and youth who are living in hotels, camping grounds, emergency shelters, cars, bus or train stations, or other similar settings. If you are not sure, please call. * What are the education rights of homeless children and youth? Our schools provide equal and comparable access to all students regardless of their home living situation. Homeless children and youth have specific rights that include: a. Immediate enrollment in school and, when desired or feasible, at the “school of origin.” b. Prompt provision of necessary services such as transportation and meal programs. c. Appropriate support services and programs for which they are eligible such as programs for gifted, children with disabilities, vocational education, preschool. d.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Annual Notice Of Student Education Record Privacy The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive federal funds. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their child’s education records. When a student reaches the age of 18 or attends a postsecondary school or college, the parent’s rights transfer to the student and the student is then an “eligible student” under the law. Under FERPA, parents and eligible students have the following rights: 1) To inspect and review the student’s education records maintained by the school within 45 days of the school’s receipt of a written request. The request should identify the record(s) being inspected. The school is not required to provide copies of records and may charge a fee is copies are requested. 2) To request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. The request must be in writing and clearly specify: (1) the part of the record requesting to be changed, and (b) why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to a hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement in the record about the contested information. The school is not required to consider requests for grade or disciplinary decisions, opinions of school officials in the education records, or the child’s special education determination. 3) To control the disclosure of their child’s personally identifiable information from their education record. Parents may request that the school, with certain exceptions, obtain their written consent prior to the disclosure of student information. An exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school staff with legitimate educational interests, such as a person employed by the district; a person serving on the school board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a grievance or disciplinary committee or assisting another school official; and/or an official of another school district in which a student seeks to enroll. A school official has a legitimate education interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill a professional responsibility. If you have questions concerning student records, please call your child’s principal.

Former Scappoose High soccer standout Ariel Viera was named to the All-West Coast Conference’s honorable mention team and AllFreshman team following her first campaign with the Portland Pilots. She was also invited to join the U-20 Women’s National Team for a training camp this week.
Viera gets national call Ariel Viera, a 2013 Scappoose High School graduate, was named to the 2013 All-West Coast Conference honorable mention women’s soccer team as well as to the All-WCC freshman team. Following her freshman season at the University of Portland, Viera was selected to participate in the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team training camp from Nov. 24 until Dec. 1 in Carson, Calif. The training camp is a bridge to a Florida event in December, which serves as the team’s final preparation before the CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship in the Cayman Islands in January.
This is Viera’s first national team experience, according to a press release on the University of Portland’s website. Viera’s Portland Pilots tied with Brigham Young University and Santa Clara for the 2013 West Coast Conference championship. Her coach, Garrett Smith, was named Coach of the Year. After spending four years at Scappoose as one of the most dynamic goalscoring forwards in Oregon high school history, Viera played defense for the Pilots. Viera helped the backline hold opponents to only five goals during the 2013 WCC season. Viera started all 21 UP games this season and led the team in minutes played. Her total of 1,850 minutes was
70 more than any other Pilot player. She took two shots on the season. When she headed Scappoose’s attack, she scored 116 goals in four years. She is one of two Portland freshmen selected to attend the National Team Camp. The other, midfielder Allison Wetherington, was named the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year. Portland finished the season with a record of 17-3-1, going 8-1 in conference matches. The seventh-ranked Pilots’ season came to an end with an overtime loss on Nov. 22 to the Illinois Illini 4-3 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. – Kyle Boggs

HILLSBORO — The Columbia County FC U12 and U13 girls soccer teams both wrapped up the 2013 season with tournament wins recently at the 2013 Hillsboro Soccer Club Invitational. The U12 squad went 4-0 on the turf at Hillsboro Stadium, never surrendering a single goal throughout the course of the tournament. On the first day of the tourney, CCFC won 2-0 and 3-0. In the semifinals, CCFC knocked off the 2012 champion NEU Barcelona Blue team. The shutout streak continued in the finals with a 1-0 win over PCU 01G Black. Coach Darren Irwin said PCU was the best team his squad has faced all season. “These girls put a lot of work into this season and it’s really nice to see them get rewarded with a win. I couldn’t be prouder of this group of girls and I hope that all of them stick with it next season,” Irwin said. The U13 Hot Shots team took home its second straight Hillsboro Soccer Club Invitational title after also winning the tournament in 2012. While the U12 squad never trailed in the tournament, the Hot Shots rallied back from a 3-2 deficit in one match to take a 4-3 victory. The U13 team also took two wins over the team it defeated in last year’s championship match, winning by scores of 3-0 and 2-0. “I am so proud of my girls and feel fortunate to be able to work with such talented players,” said coach Angie Nichols. Nichols said a header goal was among the high-

fields throughout. It was amazing to see these girls have the opportunity to truly apply all of their skills on a predictable surface. You see a confidence level that I don’t see from them on the natural grass fields they usually play on,” Irwin said.

FITNESS TIPS
Simon says: Don’t hold back on Thanksgiving No, no, no – don’t panic! This week’s column is not about how you need to starve yourself over Thanksgiving to stay healthy, or a great recipe Simon Date that means you can eat all you like for under 300 calories. No. This week’s column is about setting expectations going into a week of good eating, hanging with family, and perhaps enjoying an ‘adult beverage’ or two (or five!). Look, it’s Thanksgiving this week and for most people that means getting together on Thursday, or a day or two either side, and enjoying each other’s company,
having fun, and it is all centered around a gigantic meal for everyone! There’s turkey, gravy, veggies, wine, beer, desserts made of pumpkin (why do you Americans feel the need to make everything out of pumpkin by the way?), leftovers, more turkey, more beer. Oh, and football. So let’s set some expectations for the week! You know, if you’re being honest with yourself, that this week is probably going to be a little worse in terms of nutrition than a week in, say, July. When a whole holiday centers around a meal, the expectation is that you enjoy that meal. While I would recommend not gorging yourself until you can’t move, there is a time and place to indulge, and this week should be it. In
much the same way that eating one salad won’t suddenly make you a skinny supermodel, eating a giant meal on Thursday isn’t going to make you put on 15 pounds. You know you’re going to eat well, so set the expectation that the control will be done on Wednesday or Friday. Another tip to enjoying Turkey Day is to eat breakfast! Get a good-sized breakfast in you that morning, and it will serve two purposes. The first will be that you’ll get the energy you need for the day and won’t be left wanting for energy later on. The second, and perhaps more beneficial, is that by filling up your stomach a little bit early on in the day you’ll be fuller when you sit to eat the big meal later in the day. That
means, you’ll end up eating less of that meal, and so the gluttony will be minimized to an extent. Another idea is to eat on smaller plates. Sure, if you have a smaller plate, there is nothing technically to stop you just eating four plates worth. But for most people once you finish off that second plate, there is that little voice inside your head that says a third one might not be a good idea. If you have to use a bigger plate, use the ‘Rule of Fist.’ This is a great rule I tell all of my clients. Each plateful, when compacted down, shouldn’t be bigger than the size of your fist. Imagine collecting all the food on your plate and squeezing it into as tight a ball as you can. That ball needs to be smaller
FROM THE
than your fist. It’s a good rule. You’d be surprised how much food that actually is. The last tip would be to get outside and do something! A pre-meal walk can be a very good thing, and can increase your metabolism temporarily so that anything you consume is burned up right away. Perhaps you’re one of the weekend warriors who likes to partake in your friend’s annual Turkey Bowl football game. Once a year you get outside and relive the glory days and score some ridiculous touchdowns where every snap is a trick play, and the Hail Mary is used at least every five minutes. It’s good fun, and a great time, and more importantly, it burns those calories that you need. Sure, you’ll regret it the next day when you try
to get out of bed and realize you’re not 23 anymore, but every bit helps on Turkey Day. Bottom line, set the expectation early enough where you don’t need to stress about that one extra turkey leg, or the extra two or three beers. It’s a day where you can let go for a bit, and not stress about how many calories you can do. And, if that’s not enough for you, well come on over to NW Premier Fitness at 6 a.m. on Thursday for our pre-Turkey Day workout. Trust me, I’m going to need it...

FOOTBALL
Tribe JV undefeated 28-7 in the playoffs. That was the first time Junction City has trailed this year,” Page said. The St. Helens Lions will counter the versatile run-and-shoot Junction City offense with a very stingy defense and a running offense built around quarterback Jesse Haagenson and
running backs Josh Goff and Dan Barker. St. Helens quarterback Jesse Haagenson throws the ball well, but the Lions’ ground game is usually so strong, it isn’t necessary to throw. Read the rest of this story at thechronicleonline.com.
For the second straight season, the Scappoose High School JV football team finished the season with an undefeated record. This year’s squad finished 7-0, outscoring opponents a combined 292-48. Coach Dickey Johnson said the offense was led by
quarterback Robert Lohman, running backs Braden Clark and Elliott Kangas, and receivers Brennan McNabb, Mason Reardon and Gus Nelson. On defense, Johnson said Colton Bird, Joel Smith and Tyson Broadbent helped lead the squad, but said it was a collective team effort.

A ‘nutty’ donation
Robert and Kelly Dowell went to their friends, family members and co-workers to come up with a bumper crop of peanut butter donations to the Weekend Backpack Program. “Three years ago we heard the food bank didn’t have any peanut butter because of a bad crop… so we asked our friends and family to donate, and we did it again last year. This year we wanted to something a little different,” said Kelly Dowell. Robert Dowell works at NuStar in Portland and Kelly Dowell works for the Department of Employment in St. Helens. “They get a pretty good competition going,” said Robert Dowell. Together, they brought in 871 jars, which is 712 jars from Robert’s side and 159 from Kelly’s side.
