Three arrested in St. Helens check fraud case ST. HELENS — All it took was a few stolen account numbers, blank check stock and a home computer. That’s what local police are saying three suspects used to create and pass fake checks, defrauding local businesses out of several thousand dollars. St. Helens Police arrested the trio – two men and one woman – over the past week in connection with the check-cashing scheme.

Norman Hoag, 29, of St. Helens, was arrested on March 12 after he was identified as the suspect in the counterfeit check case. Hoag is suspected of cashing phony

checks at the St. Helens IGA Market using account numbers from local businesses including Pacific Stainless, Anderson’s Western Safety Supply and K&C Landscaping.

“At one time he was an employee of Pacific Stainless,” said St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. “So he did get payroll checks. How he got [the account numbers] from other businesses we don’t know yet... the other two that got arrested could have worked for any of the places.”

During the month of March, The Chronicle will profile each of the three candidates running for Columbia County District Court judge.

This week, we profile Portland attorney and Scappoose resident Jason Heym.

After earning his undergraduate degree in history from John Carroll University near Cleveland, Ohio, Heym went on to attend graduate school at Willamette University. There he earned a law degree and a Masters in Business Administration in 2002.

Like many lawyers, Heym hung out a shingle and opened his own law practice.

He says he ran his solo practice before joining the firm of Zimmer and Bunch and in 2005, he joined Goldberg and Jones as a non-equity partner, where he remains today. He believes this combined experience makes him a great choice for the circuit court seat.

“Given the way the court system is leaning toward a more cooperative approach, I can use my skills as a negotiator to help people resolve their cases, short of hearings,” Heym said. “But if I need to make a decision I can. I think almost always for people to feel like they have some control over the outcome. I think then they get more buy in and the less likely they will have to come back to court again.”

Heym was among a handful of candidates considered to fill the circuit court position on an interim basis last fall after longtime judge Steven Reed retired. The nomination ultimately went to Jean Marie Martwick.

“I just think I can do a better job. I think that while I’m sure she’s a fine criminal See BENCH, Page A4

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle Light rain hangs over the Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery in Clatskanie. The company is looking to expand its operations, which will be the subject of an April 3 Oregon Department of Environmental Quality public hearing at Clatskanie High School. Inset: Now with 45 full-time employees on staff, the refinery was previously owned by J H Kelly and Cascade Kelly Holdings. File photo

Global Partners looks to the future

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

CLATSKANIE — Since purchasing the Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery in February 2013, Global Partners has come under quite of bit of scrutiny. Perhaps no more so than the past two weeks when the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality said the refinery was exceeding the production limits set under the company’s current permit.

Company officials believe otherwise. According to Global, the company’s cur-

rent operations are within the scope of the previous permit, which was granted to Cascade Kelly Holdings.

For those who think crude oil shipments didn’t begin moving through Columbia County until Global purchased the site, they might be surprised to learn crude oil has been shipped to Port Westward since November of 2012.

“The prior owner was engaged in the oil business,” said CPBR General Manager Dan Luckett. “The original business plans always involved an oil terminal.

Under its agreement

with the Port of St. Helens, Global Partners is allowed a maximum of 24 unit trains per month to its Clatskanie facility. Currently though, the number of trains coming in averages from 12 to 14 trains per month.

Ed Faneuil, executive vice president and general counsel for Global Partners, said the company made it clear when it purchase the facility that its plans included both oil transport and operating the ethanol refinery.

In fact, Global Partner’s plans include getting the ethanol refinery back into

production in the near future.

Although previous attempts under different ownership to make the ethanol refinery profitable have had limited success (ethanol was produced at the facility from June 2008 to February 2009), Global clearly believes there is a way to do so.

“It has always been our plan to bring the ethanol refinery back online. We believe there’s a market,” said Faneuil.

permit – called a Standard Air Contaminant Discharge Permit – Global Partners has applied for. Global says its request is related to the company’s future expansion plans for the refinery. The hearing will be held on April 3 at Clatskanie High School beginning at 6 p.m.

Those plans include investing $50–$70 million to get the ethanol refinery back in operation.

“Part of our plan is to maximize efficiency… we want our operations to be able See GLOBAL, Page A6

Buying club stretches the organic shopping dollar vegetables every week and drive to Scappoose to pick them up. But she moved to Beaverton and those of us here were wondering what we were going to do. So I said ‘I’ll take it over,’” Baker said.

Each week members of the group log into the Columbia County Natural website and place their orders. There are dozens of items from across the region to choose from, especially when there’s inseason produce. Other selections include organic flours, cereals, oats and grains from Bob’s Red Mill natural products; Dave’s Killer Bread out of Milwaukie, Frontier Natural Products and many, many more.

“Each week we do a fruit and vegetable order. We started out at every other week. Once a month we order organic butter and Dave’s Killer Bread, and then once a month we do meat orders, so it’s grass-fed beef, true free-range chicken, and SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle free-range eggs,” said Baker.

ST. HELENS — Finding all natural or organic foods in Columbia County often means a limited selection and higher prices. But one local group is working to change that. Columbia County Natural is a buying club with a focus on buying a variety of organic, all natural and sustainably grown fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter, meat, poultry, flour, and dozens of other products in enough quantity to make it more affordable.

One of the group’s original founding members, St. Helens resident Susan Baker does all of the ordering and distribution for Columbia County Natural. The buying group is now getting ready to celebrate its fifth anniversary next month.

FRAUD: Three charged with first-degree forgery From PAGE A1

Hoag was lodged in the Columbia County Jail and faces nine counts of identity theft, first-degree theft and first-degree forgery. His bail was set at $171,250. He has since been released.

Meanwhile, officials say additional and similar counterfeit checks began to show up at the St. Helens Wal-Mart and Safeway stores, as well as several locations in the Portland area.

The day after Hoag’s arrest, police officers and detectives served a search warrant at 1925 First Street in Columbia City after an additional investigation identified

two other suspects that were also alleged to be involved in the printing and cashing of these fraudulent checks.

While at the residence they contacted the two suspects, identified as Robert Dwayne Owens, 29, and Carley Ann Munderloh, 33, and arrested both individuals. In addition to the arrests of Owens and Munderloh, officials said officers collected several pieces of evidence that relate to the case and suggest that the printing of the counterfeit checks was taking place at the residence.

“Basically, everybody comes together and ponies up an account number from a previous employer,” Moss

said of how police suspect the group worked together.

Owens and Munderloh were also lodged in the Columbia County Jail and charged with seven counts of first-degree forgery. Owens was also charged with unlawful possession of methamphetamine. His bail was set at $120,000; bail for Munderloh was set at $105,000.

The investigation continues as other suspects have been identified. St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss said additional arrests are expected.

“Detectives tell me they have some people in mind they know have cashed these checks and they’re trying to hunt them down,” the chief

said.

Although police believe they have the individuals responsible for defrauding local businesses out of an estimated $4,200, much of that money will never be recovered.

“The banks of the businesses that had the checks forged will help them, but the business that actually cashed the check is almost always just out of luck,” Moss said.

Moss also said that number could climb even higher as checks are returned.

“Anyone cashing payroll checks should be extra vigilant,” he added. “Even when identification is presented and the checks appear legitimate, things can go horribly wrong.”

GREEN: Columbia County Natural sets up in new location Curves food drive is in high gear

From PAGE A1 One thing new for the group is where the club is housed. Until recently, ordering and distribution has always been done out of someone’s home or garage.

Now Columbia County Natural has its own commercial location (next to the self-service laundry at 18th and St. Helens streets).

“We wanted to be able to do other things, like cooking classes,” added Baker. “We don’t have a sink in yet, but I have convection plates and a convection oven and crock pots. We can do most things, we just have to bring the water out. Eventually we’ll have a full kitchen, but that’s further on down the road.”

Individuals in the group are asked to pay an annual membership fee of $25 to help cover the costs of running and housing the buying club, plus a nominal weekly minimum order of $15, although Baker says she understands the need for flexibility here. In fact, she says you don’t even have to order every week. She noted members will sometimes buy more products in the summer and fall when more fresh fruits and vegetables are available and less during the winter and spring months. That’s something she can work with.

The group now has nearly 200 members, although only around 40-50 order on a consistent weekly basis.

Columbia County Natural members primarily come from the Scappoose, St.

Curves International, Inc., the largest chain of fitness centers for women, is inviting members and non-members to take part in its 2014 food drive, which runs through March 23.

Members and nonmembers can bring in a bag of non-perishable food or a monetary contribution of at least $30 to the Curves location in St. Helens. All of the food and money donated will then go to the local community food bank.

All new members who make a food or monetary donation will receive a $0 service fee when joining Curves as either a fitness or Curves complete member.

Elks Teen for February is Tanner Boyle St. Helens High School’s Tanner Boyle has been selected as the Elks Teen of the Month for February.

Tanner is an outstanding student, athlete and member of the student government.

Tanner is one of those kids who does things right all of the time and does not expect fanfare, he does what is right because it is the right thing to do. St. Helens High School and society are better because of Tanner and people like Tanner.

Tanner was very sur-

prised to learn he had been selected as the Elk Teen of the Month, he did not think he would be selected for this award and that is just typical Tanner. He is very unassuming and goes about his studies and his work in student government with the goal of getting things done and doing a good job. He is not looking for the awards, rather he is looking to make the world around him a better place and will do the work needed to insure things go well. This past month

Tanner was instrumental in the Blood Drive. He spoke at an assembly and worked hard behind Tanner Boyle the scenes to make sure there were enough volunteers and that the Blood Drive went without a hitch. It takes some-

one like Tanner to make a volunteer effort like a Blood Drive successful.

Tanner participates in Cross Country, Track, Link Crew, National Honor Society and is on track for an Honors Diploma. All of this shows that he is an outstanding student and citizen of our school. He participates in classes, is not afraid to share his opinion and ask the hard questions in class. He plans on attending Pacific University next Fall and major in Athletic

Sciences, he wants to be a Physical Therapist.

Tanner feels his best quality is that he is willing to help no matter the task.

He believes this can be seen through his work as a member of student government and as part of National Honor Society. Tanner likes to run long distance, camp, hike and he also enjoys writing, especially fiction.

Lastly, he is very excited about graduation and moving on into the next chapter of his life.

How can I help revitalize Main Street?

BY MARY HEBERLING St. Helens Econ. Dev. Corp.

We all know everyone has busy lives; work, school, various volunteer committees, etc. When our lives get busy we realize that being in two places at one time is nearly impossible. Committing to even one more bake sale or committee can be difficult. Luckily, helping to revitalize main street isn’t as hard as it sounds.

As a consumer you are what makes or breaks a business, especially in smaller towns. Business owners will try to tailor their products to your wants and needs. They

want your business. Along with the products and services, local business owners can provide better customer service, more knowledge on products, support the community, and much more. St. Helen’s main street is not shy of any of those qualities of a great business owner.

It’s not everywhere that you get to know a business owner on a first name basis and vice versa. As a consumer, you have more power at helping to revitalize our main street than you may think.

Revitalizing main street is more than joining a committee or volunteering at an event. As a consumer you are an integral part of the

rebuilding process. Sometimes looking at a situation can be daunting and makes you worried about how much you can really help. It can be tough to walk on Columbia Blvd or First street and see empty storefronts or broken trees and flower pots. But just thinking about buying products from a main street business is a step in the right direction. Need some nice chocolates for a friend? Check out Bertucci’s on Columbia Boulevard!

Does your grandchild or child need a new stroller or are you looking for some recently loved clothing?

Children’s Closet/Finder’s Keeper can help you there.

How about a cinnamon roll from Houlton Bakery or delicious bread from Good Things? Or maybe a movie at The Columbia Theatre?

All of those choices you make are a part of the effort to bring back our main street.

While we do appreciate all of our volunteers, being a consumer is just as important. Without you, there would be no main street.

You’re helping by just shopping local. No need to join a committee or bake half a dozen chocolate chip cookies for a bake sale. However, if you do have the time and passion for being more involved in the efforts to help bring back our main street,

SHEDCO can always use more volunteers.. Volunteer opportunities may include: event planning, gardening, cleaning up our main street, business recruitment, façade improvements, and much more. There are plenty of ways to get involved, either as a consumer, a volunteer, or both. Without your support our main street would not exist. So take some simple steps to support our local businesses and our local economy. See you all on Main Street!

practice. I don’t think she’s dealt with all of the issues I have and developed those skills,” he says.

One of those skills, he says, is thinking “outside the box” when it comes to what to do with criminals needing to be locked up once the county is closed at the end of this fiscal year.

“Our system requires that there are deterrents. If you are a judge and you’re stuck saying ‘stop or I’ll say stop again,’ I think it greatly impacts the credibility of the whole justice system,” Heym added.

“Doubling the fine on someone who can’t afford to pay the fine the first time isn’t a deterrent.”

Heym wants to make sure other options – like the work crew program – are still available as an option.

It’s not just those coming in front of the bench Heym is taking to task. It’s clear he has other changes in mind for behind the bench as well.

“Judges are on a fixed salary and should take on more of the workload.

However many judges feel entitled and stroll into work late and leave early while the problems they were elected to resolve compile,” he says on his website. “I believe judges need to work at least as hard as those who elect them. If elected I promise to do everything in my power to move cases through the system efficiently and faithfully serve the citizens of Columbia County.”

REUSE

REC YCLE

“Woman, behold, your son.” “Behold your mother.”

W

ith this devotion based on John 19:26, we come to the third word spoken by Jesus as He hung on the cross for the iniquity of us all! In His third word from the cross, our Savior provides for the future welfare of His mother: “Woman, behold, your son.” “Behold your mother.”

T

hink of what is happening. Our Lord was enduring excruciation pains of body such as we can scarcely comprehend; He was undergoing bitter pangs in His soul completely beyond our human power to understand.

Jesus was indeed suffering hell, our hell. His creation had not merely snubbed Him but abandoned Him and turned their back on their Creator. But even more, God would abandon Him and let Him suffer hell. We might expect Jesus to have been occupied entirely with thoughts about His own great and unprecedented suffering, a suffering under the guilt and sin of all mankind. We might also expect that Jesus would cry out to His mother for comfort and consolation as such a time. Instead, His thoughts turned to the needs of the woman who gave Him birth, the mother whom He would soon leave alone. With His parting words to His mother, Jesus carried out the last duty to His mother, and He carried it out perfectly. Why might this be so eternally important? This is Fourth Commandment stuff. God commands us to obey our parents and the authorities God has placed over us. How well have we done? Once again, ask yourself these questions: • Have you been disobedient or disrespectful towards your father or mother in words, thoughts, or deeds?

• Have you been angry with, argumentative, or hateful towards your parents or children, or have you provoked them to anger?

• Have you encouraged others to dishonor their parents?

• Are you disrespectful or disobedient toward other authorities, such as government officials, employer, pastors, teachers, or husband, or have you encouraged others to be disrespectful or disobedient?

W

hat must you plead? Guilty? Not Guilty? The devil made me do it? The fourth Commandment “Honor your father and your mother,” is not a request or suggestion. It is a command. That honor must follow our parents throughout their lives. What ever excuses we offer for our disobedience are both an insult to God for providing us with parents (and good government) and an insult to our parents who lovingly brought us into this world and nurtured us both in body and soul. Should we not pause here and say with the tax-collector, “Lord, have mercy on me, the sinner.”

Y

et, here is our comfort. With a perfect love, Jesus brought comfort to his mother’s heart. He unburdened her of a great load of care. In the very midst of dying for the sins of the world, Jesus made His mother feel safe and secure in the knowledge that her Creator (Christ) had entrusted her future to another loving son.

Even here on the cross, nailed and bound both hand and foot, Jesus fulfills the requirements of the Fourth Commandment for you and me. But here is the best part: Through Holy Baptism, the Holy Spirit placed on you the righteousness of Christ or HIS perfect keeping of the entire Law. As St. Paul says, “All of you who were Baptized into Christ, have put on Christ (Galatians 3: 27).” Wearing the garment of Christ, God will not and now cannot condemn you, but must now recon you as if you had never sinned. This is the profound impact of the simple words of our Savior with this devotion: “Woman, behold, your son.” “Behold your mother.”

Letters Voters need assurances The voters need some assurances of where their tax dollars will be used. Not just for the jail in general, but for housing local Columbia County Criminals only. Also we need assurances that the local prisoners and state and federal prisoners are housed separately.

I spent 15 plus years with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and jail. The first two years as a volunteer deputy, then as a full-time Corrections Deputy retiring in August of 2009 with an Advanced Certification in Corrections from The Oregon Department of Public Safety.

One of the things I observed while watching the mixed population of local and federal prisoners was that federal prisoners were making new recruits locally for expanding their business of drug trafficking and other related crimes. Thus, making Columbia County a new outlet for gang crime with local operators.

In the past there was always a rather constant population of about 70 to 80 local prisoners. First we need to reserve at least that number of beds for local prisoners. If it means sending U.S. Marshall or immigration prisoners back to other jails so be it. This needs to be evaluated (counted) on a daily bases. Local inmates come First, Last, and Always as to be housed in Columbia County Jail.

On to the issue of where inmates are housed. When the jail opened it was set up with 10 housing units, two for female inmates and eight for male inmates. One of those pods is for maximumsecurity male inmates and one other pod could house maximum security male inmates if needed. The other six pods for general male population. The problem comes with the fact many federal inmates come with a much higher level of crime involvement than their criminal history shows. This is due to the fact they have yet to be charged with, or convicted of these crimes, or their crimes took place in a foreign country. Often these people are the recruiters who in or out of jail are expanding the field of operation in crime for their gang, often this involves violent crime. Bringing more drugs and violent crime to

Speedbump

Columbia County.

Any levy we are to vote on must have the wording that those funds would be directed to house persons who are charged for criminal acts in Columbia County, and will keep local inmates separated from federal inmates. We do not need the jail to be a training center for new crime in our neighborhoods.

Dan Koch, Retired CCSO Hang it up To the older lady who hit my car, by Skinny’s, I hope you take it upon yourself to hang up your keys. You backed into me because you could not turn your head around to see behind you, and you continued to back into me because you could not hear me blaring my horn four times!

I was taught to be respectful of my elders, and I have been a caregiver for 10 years.

I realize this takes away some of your freedom, but how would you have felt if you backed into a young mother walking her baby in a stroller? That would be more than a scratch on my bumper.

Please hang up your car keys!

Mary Ellen Minyard, St. Helens Big oil getting richer I would like to respond to Mr. Hammond’s letter in last week’s Chronicle on the highly explosive petroleum trains now coming through our communities.

First, it’s clear that the petroleum being shipped through the country is much more dangerously explosive that petroleum has been historically. Sunday’s front page Oregonian article makes this clear: what’s being shipped has very high levels of propane and butane gas in it. The companies could remove this before loading their trains, but they make more money if they ship it with the high gas content in it.

Second, four of these trains have recently blown up in derailments: Quebec (47 dead, the town a wreck), Alabama, New Brunswick, and North Dakota.

Third, all the oil trains coming from North Dakota to Columbia County are going to Port Westward near Clatskanie. The railroad claims that proposed im-

provements are being made in the track to make thing “safer.” Yet my review of these improvements (e.g. in downtown Rainier) is to allow double the number of trains, at double the speed, thus greatly increasing the risk to we who live and work here and our children at schools near the tracks.

Yet the response of a number of people including Mr. Hammond and Port Commissioner Mrs. Deshazer is that the trains were here before we were and therefore we have no right to be concerned about the threat posed by these trains to our families and homes, because we chose to build our communities near the tracks.

Mrs. Deshazer tells us if we don’t like it, leave.

They also claim that state and local officials can’t prevent the petroleum-laden trains coming through our community no matter how dangerous. The third argument appears to be that if we stopped the trains then the same shipments would come by truck, which would be worse, so we should be happy with the trains.

All these arguments are nonsense. First, just because the railroad track was here before we were born doesn’t mean that trains should be allowed to expose our families to high levels of danger.

We have a right as citizens to protect our communities and families from big and powerful corporations who think their profits are more important than the lives of our families.

Second, the argument that local governments can’t regulate the passage of these trains through our communities is also nonsense. If it weren’t for the actions of the Port of St. Helens – recently soliciting and allowing a petroleum terminal at Port Westward, there would be nowhere for the trains to go, and therefore no trains. It is noteworthy that the Port of Portland has determined that they won’t allow any petroleum export terminal within its jurisdiction because of these same safety issues. Yet the Port of St. Helens, that controls the Port Westward export terminal, apparently thinks these risks to us are fine.

The people we elected approved it, and are now approving a vast increase in the

number of petroleum trains, which will pass through. The Port only had to say no. But instead they continue to say yes.

If more and more of these trains continue to come, sooner or later there will be a disaster. The safety of our kids and our homes is more important than whether big oil is getting rich. The Port of St. Helens is the key to this.

Mike Sheehan, Scappoose Need a new sheriff in town We need a new sheriff, not a new sheriff levy.

The house I live in on West Lane Road outside of Scappoose was broken into two times in 2012. The first time, April 26, 2012, I lost guns worth over $12,000, not a lot to the sheriff’s department investigator, but a lot to me. Fingerprints were taken, but that’s the last we heard. July 27, 2012, the house was broken into and ransacked again. What they overlooked the first time,

they took the second. I heard one of the thieves was in the Columbia County Jail. He admitted to being Involved in the robbery, but was never charged.

It is no wonder people are disgusted and downright angry with the lame excuses given by Dickerson and his handpicked deputies as to why they won’t go after the meth heads and heroin addicts that are robbing the rural homeowners blind.

Sheriff Dickerson has spent his entire adult life feeding at the public trough.

He left the Oregon State Police with PERS retirement benefits and he will leave as Sheriff with another PERS retirement. Because of citizen input, the county commissioners are aware of his misguided agendas and are advocating a “citizen oversight committee” to oversee his spending.

This is a good idea, but should not be necessary.

Dickerson has proved to county officials and taxpayers over and over that he is

too inept and vindictive to run the jail or the sheriff’s department. He should take his PERS retirements and ride off into the sunset.

The county commissioners could appoint a knowledgeable, responsible person to manage the sheriff’s department and jail until an election is held. Then and only then will we have a functional jail and sheriff’s department we can be proud of and will not mind contributing to.

I put a lot of thought into this letter. I didn’t write it just to bash Dickerson. It is hard coming home to a ransacked home; you never get over it. In Columbia County you get the feeling the druggie thieves and the sheriff’s office is one and the same. The victims get no satisfaction or results, just rude deputies telling you Dickerson has no time or money for investigating. Passing a new jail levy will only extend the problems.

Watch for ‘downy mildew’ on your hops this spring

BY DENISE RUTTAN Oregon State Univ. Extension

If you’re growing hops to brew your own beer, you may notice silvery or pale green, brittle spikes rising from the crown of the plant

or brown spots on the leaves this spring.

“Hop plants have problems with downy mildew, a fungus that attacks plants primarily in April and May,” said Shaun Townsend, the hops breeder for Oregon State University.

But don’t worry, he added, just cut back the bines (some erroneously call them vines) to the soil with a knife.

The plants will start new bines, which will grow quite rapidly. Though wet, foggy weather encourages downy mildew, pruning helps keep

the fungus at bay.

Train the bines when they reach 2-3 feet long. You can use braided rope, baling twine or coir, which is woven coconut husk. You can find these items at most home or garden supply stores.

Although one plant

cones — the part of the plant used in beer, he said. The plants can be trained to climb up the south-facing wall of a house, over fences, up pillars or flagpoles, over stone walls or arbors, or along clothes­­­­

APPLE (F) Apple is already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs. Apple’s happy ending started when a shelter in California contacted us about her. The shelter felt that she was a very special girl that just needed a second chance and they knew that if she was given the opportunity she could have a great forever after. Apple is about 2 years old, seems to get along well with other dogs. She can be a little shy around new people when first meeting them, but give her a few minutes and she warms right up. She is very sweet and will make someone a great companion. She weighs in right at 50lbs.

Oregon State University fermentation science students learn about the flavors and aromas of hops. Flavors and aromas can differ based on the variety of hop.

HOPS: Watch for mold this spring for best yield From PAGE A5 lines. The attractive plant can enhance many landscapes, he said.

“These are big, prolific plants that can cast a lot of shade,” he said. “Don’t grow them near plants that are shade sensitive, such as a vegetable garden.”

The plant will climb energetically on its own, given enough support.

The bines always climb in a clockwise direction by wrapping themselves around and gripping the climbing support using short, stiff hairs. Vines, on the other hand, like those of grape vine and sweet pea, climb via the help of tendrils and suckers that cling to the climbing support, Townsend explained.

Be sure to fertilize first-year plants with a multi-purpose fertilizer such as 16-16-16, found at most garden supply stores, Townsend said. Alternate with urea, a form of nitrogen fertilizer available at most garden supply stores, he recommended. Sprinkle a teaspoon of these fertilizers around the base

of the plant every two to three weeks from springtime until July to aid root growth, he advised.

Hops, a perennial plant, should be productive for 10-15 years. The plant produces cones every year, which are harvested and dried from mid-August to midSeptember, Townsend said. Hops are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. The female cone contains small glands that produce the essential oils and resins that give beer its aroma and bitterness, Townsend said.

For more information about insect pests and diseases that threaten hops, see OSU Extension’s Pacific Northwest Pest Management Handbooks at http://pnwhandbooks. org.

GLOBAL: Safety a top priority at Global, says company officials From PAGE A1

to run concurrently or swing from one to the other,” said Faneuil.

Although the refinery was once operational, Global says that’s not the case now.

“Assets from the refinery were physically retasked,” said Luckett. “That investment would allow us to build the infrastructure needed.”

Once the ethanol refinery is back in production, Luckett said he expects to add somewhere around 35 jobs to the existing 45 full-time employees the company has on staff now.

Oil safety at issue Crude oil shipments, and how they’re handled, hit the public spotlight over the last year after four crude oil train derailments happened in the U.S. and Canada. The first derailment in Lac-Megantic,

Canada left 47 people dead, many more injured and some 30 buildings in the heart of the city’s downtown destroyed.

Subsequent accidents in Alabama, North Dakota and New Brunswick also raised warning flags. Just recently, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued emergency orders intended to curtail the use of older DOT-111 tank cars, which are used to transport the Bakken crude oil, after the National Transportation Safety Board issued its own safety recommendation regarding the tank cars.

But Global says safety is it’s top priority. The company will mark its “Approximately 80 to 90 percent of the tanker cars coming into the refinery are the newer model DOT-111s,” said Luckett, who noted the refinery has received a total of 138 oil trains to date.

While he couldn’t speak

to how the shipments are handled at their point of origin or while in transport, Luckett said shipments coming into the refinerty go through a rigorous inspection process.

“When we take custody, we inspect each car. The cars are then inspected again while they’re being unloaded,” Luckett added.

During their inspection, crews check to make sure each of the four required placards are in place, all of the bolts are secure, wheels are operating correctly, brakes are working, and more. The cars are then restaged – assembled to go back out – then the railroad is notified. The railroad sends its own crews to inspect the cars once again before they leave the refinery. The cars are given a full-scale inspection every 10 years.

Battle of the Bands comes to St. Helens

Wednesday, April 9 · Scappoose Public Library 10:30 a.m. story time for ages 0-5.

This year marks the 10th anniversary for 13 Nights on the River, the popular summer music series held each year at Columbia View Park. To celebrate this milestone, organizers have scheduled the event’s first ever Battle of the Bands.

The 13 Nights Battle of the Bands will take place on Thursday, April 3 at Columbia Theatre. This is a fundraising event where bands local to Columbia County will battle it out for a spot in the 13 Nights series this year.

The 13 Nights series was started back in 2004 and has continued to grow and flourish in the community.

Bringing in local and out of town bands to provide a music festival that is friendly for all ages. It is now one of the largest events in the St. Helens area.

The event is funded by local sponsors and run by hardworking and dedicated volunteers. The focus is to bring culture and music that a whole family can enjoy.

13 Nights on the River is a subcommittee of the St. Helens Community Foundation, a community, nonprofit organization supporting and providing legal protections for programs such as Lost & Found Youth, The Sweetheart Ball and other local programs. 13 Nights on the River is the biggest partner group operating under the Foundation’s network.

The volunteers of 13 Nights are working diligently to create and raise funds for a scholarship to be awarded to a local high school student. The scholarship will likely be based on community work, volunteering and arts.

Anyone wanting to get involved this year by volunteering or sponsoring 13 Nights on the River should Managing Director Christina Sullivan at christina.13nights@gmail.com or visit the website at 13nightsontheriver.org.

Thursday, April 10 · St. Helens Library – 4 p.m., children’s guitar music. Local guitarist Ben Wells will perform his favorite children’s music.

Defense makes plays in defeat 5-run 3rd inning keys Scappoose win in opener

by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — Situations for a pitching debut don’t get much more challenging than the one facing St. Helens sophomore Hannah Jordan last night.

With chilling winds blowing all afternoon, Jordan stepped into the pitcher’s circle to face 2013 state semifinalist West Albany (1-0). Jordan was filling in for St. Helens’ two-time Northwest Oregon Conference Pitcher of the Year, junior Mariah Mulcahy, who was in the hospital with a 104-degree fever.

But the situation did not faze Jordan, who only pitched a handful of times on the JV team as a freshman. Jordan retired the first two Bulldog batters she saw. She pitched a complete game four-hitter.

The Lions (0-1), however, could only come up with two hits against first-team All-State pitcher Kelsey Broadus — both of them infield singles from sophomore leadoff hitter Ashley Giesbers. West Albany won the season-opener, 2-0.

“Hannah Jordan did a nice job keeping them off balance,” said St. Helens coach Jeff Edwards. “I’m very, very pleased with the outing. I think we showed that we’re very good on defense.”

The Bulldogs pushed across both of their runs in the top of the third inning.

West Albany capitalized on back-to-back walks to open the inning, then sacrificed the runners over with a bunt. A single scored one of the runs and a passed ball brought in the other before Jordan escaped the jam.

After the game, Edwards had nothing but positive things to say about Jordan’s ability to get out of tough situations.

“She was outstanding.

She spotted the ball well,” he said. “We haven’t been without Mariah before.

It’s nice to know we can compete with the best. And when we get her back, we’re gonna be right there.”

AURORA — A three-run home run from senior catcher Lexi Courtney capped a fiverun third inning on March 17, helping the Scappoose Indians (1-0) take an 8-3 win over the North Marion Huskies (0-1).

Courtney drilled an 0-2 pitch over the left-field fence. All five Tribe runs in the inning came with two outs.

If not for sophomore Jessie Dykes’ two-out at-bat in the inning, Courtney would have been leading off the top of the fourth rather than stepping up with runners on in the third. Dykes fell behind in the count 0-2, evened it at 2-2, then fouled off a couple of pitches before eventually walking in an eight-pitch at-bat.

Before Courtney’s home run, freshman left fielder

RIGHT: Sophomore pitcher Hannah Jordan allowed only four hits in a 2-0 defeat to 2013 state semifinalist West Albany on March 17.

Julia Ferguson had a two-run single in her first high school at-bat.

Freshman second baseman Nicole Lukinbeal was 2-for-3 in her high school debut. She drove in a run and scored one as well.

Senior Lacey Updike pitched a complete game to earn the win. All three North Marion runs were unearned.

Scappoose was scheduled to host Molalla on March 18. The Indians will head to Milton-Freewater for the Mac-Hi Tournament March 28-29. Coach Steve Hoglund said the trip will not only be an opportunity to get in four games, but he’s also hopeful it will help strengthen the team’s chemistry.

St. Helens looked poised to respond to West Albany’s two runs in the bottom of the third inning. Senior Stevie Strawn walked and stole second base. After a strikeout, senior Karli Edwards lined a shot down the right-field line, but the Bulldog first baseman snagged it and threw to second base for a double play to end the inning.

Despite the end result, Jeff Edwards was happy with his team’s first game of the season. “[Broadus] is a pretty good pitcher. I couldn’t be happier losing. I hate saying that, but it’s true,” Edwards said. “I think we showed we have veterans and we’re not going to get embarrassed by

Skate park plans back on track

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — Plans to replace Scappoose’s skate park near city hall ran into some delays that officials are hopeful they have finally resolved.

Earlier this year, Grindline Skateparks based in Seattle was awarded a contract with the city through a competitive bid process with an expected completion date of May 31 for a new 4,900 square foot skate park. In early April the company brought a geotechnical engineering firm hired by Grindline to do borings on the previous skate park site. According to Grindline, that’s when the problems began.

In an email sent by Grindline sales manager Micah Shapiro, the company points to results found by that geotechnical engineering firm as the cause.

“We have been going back and forth with our structural and geotech engineers and based on their investigations we come to the conclusion that it will be better to demo the old park than to pour over it,” said Shapiro.

Grindline said it then began working with its contractors to determine how best to remove the old park.

“Although this has delayed the project, in the long run it will provide for a better skatepark both from a skateability and durability standpoint,” said Shapiro.

Grindline also said the concept submitted with the proposal called for the new park to have the same elements as the existing park but that limitation wouldn’t be necessary with the new design.

“Now that we are starting from scratch we have a lot of flexibility to do a different and better layout,” said Shapiro.

But City Manager Jon Hanken said the decision to scrap the previous plans in

Clatskanie man convicted on multiple counts of rape, sex abuse

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

A Clatskanie man arrested in 2011 and charged with multiple counts of rape, sodomy and sex abuse has been convicted on 46 separate counts.

George Nick Lammi, 55, was arrested on June 8, 2011 after a friend arrived at his home at witnessed Lammi abusing a female relative.

The witness then reported Lammi to law enforcement officials.

Lammi’s trial began on May 28 and ended with his conviction on June 3.

“Basically, his daughter would visit him on weekends.

Starting in December of 2010 until 2011, he was raping and sodomizing her,” said Deputy District Attorney George Lammi Jon Berg. “Sex abuse is not often a crime we have a witness to.”

Lammi was initially charged with three counts of first-degree rape, 16 counts of first-degree sodomy, nine counts of first-degree sex abuse and

19 counts of incest.

The jury ultimately found him guilty on all but one count which was dismissed.

“The grand jury indicted him for three counts of rape and 16 counts of sodomy. It ultimately turned out to be 46 counts that he was convicted on,” said Berg. “I’m very thankful for the jury. They did a good job.”

If it seems like an unusually long time between when Lammi was arrested and when his trial began, that’s because it was. Berg said some extenuating circumstances in the case delayed prosecution.

“There were some intervening facts that delayed the trial. The

defense filed I can’t tell you how many motions,” Berg said. “We were just flooded with motions from the defense on mostly discovery issues.

And there were other issues.”

Lammi’s was orginally held at the Columbia County Jail on $800,000 bail which was reduced to $139,000 following a bail reduction hearing.

The trial itself wasn’t without its own difficulties.

“I’ve never had a trial that was attended so well by supporters of the offender. At one point, the jury actually complained because they were disturbing the jury’s ability to See CONVICTION, Page A4

Planning commission resumes rezoning public hearing

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

The Columbia County Planning Commission will continue its public hearing held over from May 20 to review a rezoning application submitted by the Port of St. Helens. The second part of the public hearing will be held on June 17 in the courthouse at 230 Strand.

The Port has requested a comprehensive plan amendment and zone change to expand its Port Westward industrial site by more than 950 acres.

That acreage, which is partially owned by the Port, is currently zoned for agricultural use.

“The Port is seeking to create a framework to attract industrial users,” said Patrick Trapp, executive director for the Port. “Those businesses will provide above average wages.”

Planning manager Glen Higgins

said undeveloped and vacant land already zoned as for industrial use has been identified as wetlands and that the proposed zoning request did not target any wetlands already on the national wetlands inventory.

But opponents to the zoning request say there is no need for additional industrial lands and that the Port already has plenty of industrial-zoned property in its possession.

Scappoose resident Pat Zimmerman, who has been heavily involved in the opposition to that city’s Urban Growth Boundary expansion request, was among dozens speaking against the Port’s rezoning application.

Zimmerman said the Port’s request is based on two statements – that PGE’s leasehold makes the area unavailable and that the entirety of the area inside the Port Westward Industrial Park not currently developed is

Aguirre tapped for role of St. Helens High principal

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Students returning to St. Helens High School next fall will find a familiar face sitting behind the principal’s desk. Assistant Principal BG Aguirre has been named as the school’s new principal, replacing outgoing principal Andy Croley who will be leaving his position in June.

The team selected to replace Croley may not have had to look far to find his replacement, but the interview process was certainly thorough.

“The interview team – comprised of myself, St. Helens High School students, several parents, district staff, and a school board member – deliberated the interviewed candidates and recommended two strong candidates for my final consideration,” said District Superintendent Mark Davalos.

Davalos ultimately selected Aguirre for the position and made

his recommendation to the school board at its May 22 regular meeting.

“BG is already working hard to help close the 2012–2013 year and take the BG Aguirre helm of responsibility she has accepted. I am delighted with our choice and confident for our future,” Davalos added.

Aguirre has been at St. Helens High School for the past five years and is ready for her new role.

“I am honored to be the next principal at St. Helens High School,” she said.

Aguirre attended Oregon State University, graduating in 1998 with a major in sociology and Spanish. She then went on to Concordia University in Portland where she earned her

master’s degree.

“I started teaching in the Beaverton School District and taught there for eight years. I started at the elementary level,” Aguirre said, noting she taught at Vase and Kinnaman elementary schools. “Then I did my administrative program through Beaverton future leaders program.”

She said she got her first administrator position at Newport High School, where she was the assistant principal. She then became the principal at Sam Case Elementary, also in Newport.

Aguirre said her experience teaching and working with students from all levels – from kindergarten through high school – has helped with her role at St. Helens High School.

“It’s an awesome thing… I get the whole K-12 vertical alignment, I know where they need to be when the come here. I think it just helps overall and I know it’s helped me with kids that are struggling,” Agu-

irre said.

Although she won’t officially begin her new position until July 1, Aguirre has been spending time shadowing Croley to learn more about the responsibilities she will be taking on.

“Mr. Croley has been really cool.

He’s been letting me be part of and take part in the decisions that are being made now,” she said. “It’s kind of a transition period right now.”

Aguirre said she has enjoyed having the opportunity to take on new responsibilities. In fact, she’s already looking at her goals for next year.

“With the new graduation requirements for math – needing Algebra I or higher – one thing I’ve already done, last week at the administrators meeting, was fight to have summer school… we will offer summer this summer,” she added. “And we have an online program that’s a proficiency-based program. Students can sign up for one class and complete as many as they need to.”
