Pastor arrested on felony warrant

Petersen vies for circuit court judge with write-in campaign

SCAPPOOSE — A local pastor is in a Los Angeles County jail this week after he was arrested on a felony warrant resulting from an incident in which he allegedly tried to lure a minor into his vehicle.

According to a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Scappoose, parishioners became concerned a couple weeks ago when Fr. Michael Patrick failed to return to the church after a two-week

ST. HELENS — Agnes “Agi” Petersen is no stranger to being singled out for being herself.

“I wore the highest heels, the thinnest nylons and silvery nail polish because I was a sorority girl,” she recalls of the days she spent jumpstarting her career after law school. “And no one wanted to hire me because they thought I would get married, have children and stop Agnes Petersen working, I guess!”

Parts of her employers’ predictions were true: Agi married her husband, John, and she had four children, but she never stopped working as a lawyer. In fact, she has practiced out of the same office building in downtown St. Helens for the past 53 years.

So when Petersen was told last month that her age disqualified her from filing as a candidate for Columbia County Circuit Court judge, she was undeterred. In response to what she calls “age discrimination of the worst order,” Petersen has tossed her hat into the ring as a write-in candidate for judge of the circuit court, District 19, Position 3. (Incumbent Jenefer Grant is also seeking the position.)

“We’re getting older and older, people are having fewer and fewer children,” she explained. “We cannot depend on the young supporting the older generation — you need to keep me working.”

As for what has kept her in the law profession for so many years, Petersen responds, “I love it. I think See WRITE IN, Page A8

trip of the country.

According to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Inmate Information Center, Los Angeles Police took Patrick, 57, into custody on April 2 at 7:30 a.m. He was booked into Los Angeles County Men’s Central Jail and later transferred to the Pitchess Detention Center South Facility. He is being charged with a felony and being held without bail. A court date is scheduled for April 18.

Kim Kapp, Vancouver Police Department public information coordinator, confirmed, “Last month patrol received a

call that a juvenile had a male that was following her and offering her a ride. She called her Michael Patrick parents and called the police. We took the information, developed suspect information on Mr. Patrick and then sent it to the Juvenile Justice Center that investigates

child related cases. Information the female provided and the other witnesses provided developed probable cause to arrest him for one count of luring.

They served a search warrant on Mr. Patrick’s residence shortly after incident, a warrant was issued and he was arrested in California.”

Kapp said she did not know when Patrick would be extradited to Clark County.

In a statement released April 10, the office of the Archdiocese of Portland stated, “The Archdiocese will cooperate with law enforcement. Father

Patrick will be suspended from his ministry functions until the matter is concluded, even though the criminal charge had nothing to do with his parish assignment in Scappoose.

“We continue to gather information on this matter.

Ultimately, we must trust in the justice system. We ask all to join us in prayer for justice.”

Upon receiving the news about the pastor’s arrest, church members’ responses were varied. Some prayed for Patrick ­­­­

Back to Boston: marathon runner undaunted This week Karen Gill returns to run the Boston Marathon a year after being there for the bomb attack in 2013

She crossed the finish line, swigged some water, accepted her medal and grabbed her bag. Then it was time to wade through the crowd – thousands of people thick – to find her family.

That’s when Karen Gill heard the first bomb explode.

“The first thing I thought was, ‘Oh my gosh, that was loud.’ You’re in marathon mode – you’re in a fog anyway,” said Gill.

She had just finished running’s holy grail – the Boston Marathon. It was the seventh marathon she had run since completing the Portland Marathon for the first time in 2001. Back then, she had no plans of even attempting to qualify for entry in Boston.

“I never ran when I was a child. I didn’t start running until I was 20,” Gill said. “I just ran with my girlfriends around Scappoose. We had a group of five that did [the Portland Marathon]. I said there’s no way I’m gonna do this again. And I did it the next year,” she said.

When the explosion sounded near the finish line See GILL, Page A2

Karen Gill reaches the 24-mile mark of the 2013 Boston Marathon. She is headed back to run it again this year.

Sheriff: Levy failure would attract more crime

BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

COLUMBIA COUNTY — “If you close it, they will come.”

That’s the warning Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson has for county voters next month as they consider a proposed threeyear levy that, if approved, will finance the operation of Columbia County Jail.

If the levy is denied, the jail would close, and, according to the sheriff, the county would be laying out the welcome mat for criminal activity.

For the past 13 years, the county’s General Fund has supported jail operations.

But as the General Fund shrinks, so do the funds allocated for the sheriff’s office.

While funding decreases, Dickerson says the costs to supervise, feed, clothe and provide medical care for the inmate population has increased.

Dickerson says, “Without the increase in revenue we need to keep the jail open, we will send 10 of our worst offenders to Polk County.

We already have them detained. Any new arrests are

going to have to be worse than what’s already there, unless he goes to prison, then we will have a spot to fill.”

Columbia County would pay Polk County $65 per bed per night for the 10 beds.

Dickerson said he has made arrangements with Polk County to have two additional beds available at a higher nightly rate ($75 per bed) to be rented if needed, depending on the county’s ability to pay for them.

Polk County Sheriff Robert Wolfe says the agreement would not impact staffing or space at his jail, which has a 204-bed capacity and averages 125 inmates per day. In fact, Wolfe says our county’s loss would result in a gain for Polk County Jail, which in November had its own levy failure, resulting in a cut in deputies and patrols.

Wolfe says of the proposed contract, “I can tell you that funding has been tentatively put into the budget, which has prevented me from laying deputies off.

I know it sounds bad, but if [Columbia County Sheriff’s Office] wins, we lose. And if we win, they lose.” ­­­­ See LEVY, Page A3

GILL: Runner grateful for return trip to Boston Marathon From PAGE A1 on Boston’s Boylston Street, it didn’t register immediately for Gill. She instead looked toward Fenway Park – home of the Red Sox. “It sounded like Fenway Park blew up or something,” Gill said.

Her mental search for the initial sound was interrupted by yet another blast. At that point, she realized something was wrong.

“All I know I wanted to do was just find my family,” Gill said.

Three of her sisters, a brother and her best friend had made the trip with Gill to watch her run the fabled 26.2 miles. Her friends back home in Columbia County had their own way of watching Gill — on their phones.

Gill ran the race using a Nike app to track her pace.

She also used the Find My Friend app so her friends could follow a blue dot showing them when she crossed certain checkpoints – five kilometers, 10 kilometers, a half marathon, etc.

When Gill reached the finish line, she pressed stop on her phone’s Nike app. Then her phone’s battery died.

“According to all the people that are tracking me, I’m the blue dot at the finish line. Here they hear the bombs going off. Even my family was waiting for me, they’re like ‘Oh my God, KAREN GILL / Special to The Chronicle why is it taking so long?’”

A memorial is set up blocks away from the finish line in the hours after last year’s Boston Marathon bombing.

Gill said. “It took me half an hour to get to them beer.

PASTOR: Arrest leaves parishioners dismayed From PAGE A1 and some were upset.

One parishioner, who asked to not be named, said, “Maybe he is innocent, but the residence in Vancouver — that should have raised a signal to the Archdiocese.”

The parishioner also expressed disappointment in the Archdiocese of Portland for not acknowledging or praying for the victim.

The parishioner explained, “Mainly, it’s sickening, but more so even than that, what

really caused me to levitate is that Catholic priests are supposed to remain close to their flock and he had an apartment in Vancouver! Was the parish paying for the rent there? If so, that is immoral. He has a rectory right next door to the church, and it’s a lovely one. … This is his flock and he’s not a very good shepherd.”

According to an April 11 article from the Catholic Sentinel, Patrick studied at Our Lady of Lanka National Seminary in Kandy, Sri Lanka, and was ordained in 1983. He

served at parishes and the seminary in Sri Lanka and also taught at the University of Jaffna there. In 1991, he studied canon law at St. Paul University in Ottawa, Canada. In 1998, he moved to Portland to work in the marriage tribunal and assist at St. Alexander in Cornelius. Since then, he has served at St. Patrick in Portland, St. Edward in Keizer, St. Philip Benizi in Redland and Holy Trinity in Bandon.

Patrick was assigned to Scappoose in 2012.

LEVY: Sheriff cautions that levy failure could spur more crime From PAGE A1

Despite the gains to be had from housing Columbia County inmates, Wolfe says the levy is necessary.

“I think it’s unfortunate that Columbia County is in the situation it’s in … It would be better for Columbia County and their judicial system [to have a jail], as it would put a significant strain

on their department to transport them from St. Helens to Dallas.”

If the jail were closed during a recent scenario in which three significant arrests — one charged with forgery and theft, one charged with DUII and eluding law enforcement, and another charged with attempted murder — occurred over a four-day period, Dickerson

said the person charged with attempted murder would be sent to Polk County Jail, and he would likely have to release an inmate to open up a bed. The other two individuals would have been given a ticket and issued a date to appear in court. If either of them did not appear in court, then a warrant would be issued for their arrest. Once arrested, they would be issued

another court date, resulting in a cycle of issuing warrants and court dates.

“It makes a mockery of the criminal justice system,” the sheriff laments. “And there’s another disturbing part: What about the guy that’s high on drugs? Or drunk? Or just acting crazy out in the street? Those are the ones that are also taken to jail. What if there is no jail?

Is that the kind of community we want to live in?”

Dickerson predicts word will spread among the criminal community that committing a crime in Columbia County is unlikely to result in jail time due to the limited availability of beds.

“Word already spreads,” Dickerson claims. “The fact that they heard they wouldn’t stay in jail very

long — they’ve admitted it.

We have a guy in Longview that comes here to burglarize houses; we’ve caught him twice.

“I really shudder at the thought [of the levy failing] — I’m scared. People will say, ‘Well, that’s just a scare tactic.’ Well, I am scared; I live here, too. … We all are going to live here with the results.”

City of Scappoose terminates police chief effective May 8

BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE — After months of investigation and deliberation, the City of Scappoose issued Police Chief Douglas Greisen 30-day notice of termination on April 8.

The notice stated Greisen was being terminated without cause and, per the terms of his employment contract with the city, he would receive a 60day severance payment. The city expects his termination to be effective May 8, 2014.

Greisen joined the Scappoose Police Department in 1999 and was promoted to Chief in 2002.

Greisen has been on paid administrative leave while the city conducted an investigation into allegations the police chief violated the city’s accepted police procedures during a Feb. 4, 2013, incident in which a suspect in a hit and run, non-injury car crash was

stopped after Greisen ordered pursuing officer Anthony Miltich to perform a Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) maneuver.

The allegations filed

by Scappoose Sgt. Doug Carpenter and Lt. Norman Miller contend that neither of the police officers engaged in the pursuit had been trained to perform the PIT maneuver, that the maneuver was performed at excessive speeds, and that Miltich’s pursuit was for a misdemeanor offense – all in violation of the city’s policies – along with other procedural violations.

The police procedures Greisen was alleged to have violated related to training, supervisory, record keeping and police pursuit procedures defined by Lexipol, provider of risk management policies and resources for public safety organizations.

In response to Carpenter’s complaint, former City Manager Jon Hanken launched an investigation in July to look

into how Greisen handled the pursuit. The city hired Local Government Personnel Institute (LGPI) to Douglas Greisen conduct the investigation. LGPI provides human resource and labor relations assistance to cities, counties and special districts throughout Oregon.

LGPI’s investigation sustained all of the allegations made against Greisen. After reviewing LGPI’s finding, Hanken placed Greisen on paid administrative leave.

Greisen filed an appeal of the disciplinary action, claiming he had satisfactorily fulfilled his duties as police chief, that he had never received a negative performance evaluation and never received any prior notice of

disciplinary action.

In September, a letter from Portland attorney J. Ashlee Albies claimed Greisen “engaged in a campaign of retaliation” against Carpenter by altering the terms and conditions of Carpenter’s employment. Albies said Carpenter may seek monetary claims “in connection with any actions taken by the City or its agents with regards to Sgt. Carpenter’s employment, including but not limited to claims for whistleblowing, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and any other related claims.”

In February, Carpenter filed a complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, claiming the harassment has caused him to go on medical leave due to anxiety.

Mayor Scott Burge appointed city’s Personnel Review Committee to review the disciplinary proceedings.

The PRC members were city councilors Barb Hayden,

Jason Meshell and Mark Reed, along with former City Attorney Ron Guerra.

PRC members reviewed the complaints filed by Carpenter and Miller, as well as the police reports and supporting documentation, LGPI’s report, the notice of disciplinary action and the notice of appeal filed by Greisen. The committee also watched the patrol car video recording and listened to the audio recording from the incident.

Following their investigation, the PRC did not agree with LGPI’s findings.

“The PRC finds that the degree of discipline issued to Police Chief Doug Greisen, for minor discrepancies of best practices, is entirely out of proportion based on the totality of the circumstances on the night of Feb. 4,” stated an Oct. 14 report issued by the PRC. PRC made the recommendation to retract the disciplinary action against Greisen,

and that additional training be provided to the chief and the police department.

Due to concerns about the objectivity of the PRC’s findings, the investigation was then turned over to a retired police chief from Lake Oswego for additional review.

He found that the LGPI report on the pursuit was factual and not biased.

On Nov. 8, Hanken accepted the council’s proposal to resign with a one-year severance package totaling more than $100,000. His resignation was accepted, though Burge disagreed with the decision and stated that Hanken was only doing his job.

On Jan. 2, the council voted to fire Guerra, despite dissent from Burge and Jeff Erickson.

In December, the city hired Don Otterman as interim city manager. The city is currently reviewing candidates and expects to hire a new city manager by June.

She quickly adds, “An important part of enjoying your job is to find the happy side. … You can’t take yourself too seriously in this job because it will lead to madness. You have to have balance, you have to have spirituality in your life.”

Born and raised in St. Helens, Petersen graduated from St. Helens High School in 1953. From there, she earned a history degree from the University of Oregon in 1957. In 1959, she graduated from UO’s law school, where she was

ranked fourth in her class and was one of only two females in the program. She was admitted to the bar the following year.

During her career, Petersen has handled various cases, from drunk-driving to family and divorce law, wills and trusts. The lawyer says she has had some families as her clients for three generations.

In 1989, she became a member of the Oregon State Bar Board of Governors. She has served on the St. Helens School Board, Columbia County Education Service District Board, St. Helens Columbia PUD Board, St. Helens Port District Board, and the Columbia County Legal Aide

Letters Officials Committed To Working Together The criminal justice system in Columbia County consists of the elected judges, district attorney, and sheriff as well as the appointed judges and police chiefs in the cities, and the appointed county officials in the courts and community justice department.

It is a high honor to be elected by fellow citizens to serve in any capacity. To do so within the auspices of the criminal justice system is truly a humbling experience.

To lead is to invite criticism, and that is true in Columbia County as it is in Salem, or Washington, D.C. People exercise their freedom to express their disagreement with judges, with the district attorney and with the sheriff. They can affect how each does his or her job either by voting them out of office or by giving or withholding additional funding to get the job done.

As we continue to focus our energies on the pending closure of the jail, I have made it clear that I intend to carry out the will of the people with a servant’s heart. I am also meeting with these elected officials and the municipal leaders, working with them to find the best possible way to carry out the functions of this system.

We are fortunate in this county to have officials in the criminal justice system who are committed to working together on this issue. There is tremendous stress—to be sure— as we figure out how to make this happen in the best interests of all concerned, but there is also a tremendous desire to work hand-in-hand as fellow servants of the people.

That is how the founders of our state and nation thought it should be. Each of us has a vision of how things ought to be. But each of us also knows the value of working together to solve problems and make the most of what we have to get the job done on behalf of the citizens we serve.

It continues to be a great honor to serve this community and to work with the truly committed members of the sheriff’s office, police departments, 9-1-1 staff, prosecutor’s office, judges and court

staff, and adult and juvenile community justice staff, who make our criminal justice system work.

Jeffrey M. Dickerson Columbia County Sheriff Apples to Apples When I see Jason Heym, I see a very devoted husband and father. He has concerns for his family, he wants them to be able to grow up and have a good life on his small farm. He wants good schools and the community to be safe.

These are the same desires we all have.

The difference in Jason and us is, he is willing to take a job that will give him an opportunity to help keep us all safe which will help develop a better life for all of us.

I would like to touch on another subject that has been bothering me. I would like our community to be more informed as voters. I think some of the information on the internet is undocumented, words that are put into print with no facts to prove the statements. This is a very harsh way to convince someone to select you. I would like to see positive information given by candidates and their supporters when running for a public position. Give reasons why I should vote for a candidate, not why I shouldn’t vote for the opponent. Let’s compare apples to apples, let the person running for a position be selected by their abilities and not by unsubstantiated stories put out to the public by others.

Ray Murphy Columbia City Wayne Mayo’s Can-Do Attitude There are several reasons why Wayne Mayo offers Columbia County citizens an opportunity to be better represented on our Board of Commissioners.

First, Wayne is an energetic man who will help our county government become responsive to today’s pressing issues. Frankly, it seems a “can-do” attitude has been missing from county operations. We should elect Wayne Mayo to bring a long overdue wake up call to the Board charged with making our county work for the taxpayers. Also, it has been quite a while

since we have had a local businessman on the Board of Commissioners. Someone with good business sense is a plus when money is being spent. We need Wayne for that reason as well. On top of that, Wayne Mayo has proved himself over many years by staying involved with Columbia County affairs. Typical of this is the way he helped us gain better electric rates through our Public Utility District. Electing Wayne Mayo is a great way to keep a good man working for us.

Scappoose Councilor Supports Jail Levy As your city council representative and police commissioner I would like to focus this report on the potential impacts of the jail closing. On May 20, there will be a measure on the ballot to fund jail services at a cost of approximately .58 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

The jail supports an effective criminal justice program. Financial challenges have required reductions to the point that the jail can no longer meet minimum mandated service levels. If the jail closes, the City would have the option to contract with neighboring facilities at our expense with the added responsibility of transporting prisoners to and from the facility. Outsourcing services would increase the City’s public safety expenses, reduce operational efficiency and impact the overall criminal justice program.

The St. Helens Police Department and the City’s mission statements illustrate the importance of the jail.

St. Helens City Police Department Mission: The mission of the St. Helens Police Department is to work with all citizens to make our city a place where people live safely and to promote individual responsibility and community commitment.

St. Helens City Council Mission: Develop and preserve the highest possible quality of life for our residents, businesses, and visitors.

Provide a safe and healthy environment within a sound economic framework.

Provide leadership which is open and responsive to the needs of the community and works for the benefit of all.

These statements emphasize our community’s desire for a safe and healthy community. If the jail closes, maintaining an effective criminal justice program will increase costs and impact the efficiency and effectiveness of the City’s public safety program.

Keith Locke Police Commissioner St. Helens Let’s Talk About Qualifications I support Agnes Marie Petersen.

I have been to her office and looked at all the certificates on her wall.

She has represented my family for 42 years, since I was 19. She helped our family with a very difficult problem about our land and she has more energy and knowledge than anyone.

Agi Petersen is the highest qualified candidate for judge in this election.

Agi Petersen has been qualified to practice law in Oregon since 1960.

She has represented

literally thousands of Columbia County residents in the last 54 years.

Agi Petersen has been qualified to argue cases in front of the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals since 1968.

Agi Petersen has been qualified to argue cases in front of the United States Supreme Court since 1971.

The Oregon Board of Bar Governors is the governing body of the Oregon State Bar. Agi Petersen is qualified enough to have served on the Oregon Board of Bar Governors.

The Oregon Judicial Fitness Commission is the Oregon State Commission that reviews the ethical conduct of judges and lawyers in the State of Oregon. Agi Petersen is so qualified that she sat on the Oregon Judicial Fitness Commission in 1992.

During her tenure, Agi Petersen sat on the board that reviewed the conduct of a sitting Oregon Supreme Court Judge.

Just because Oregon laws are currently written to discriminate against her, it is not going to stop me from writing in Agnes Petersen in Position 3 Circuit Court Judge.

I encourage everyone to write in Agnes Petersen in Position Three and get rid of anti age discriminatory laws in Oregon.

Sam S. Jauron St. Helens Don’t Miss Out! It is your opportunity to vote, & write in, “Agi P. for Position 3”. Agnes Petersen will bring to the position of, Circuit Court Judge - District 19 Position No. 3, hard work, knowledge, history, which she has proved, with her impressive career, as a practicing lawyer, for over 50 years. She will serve in this capacity with wisdom, wit, integrity, confidence, & humility.

It is a completely out dated law, that a judge can’t serve after 75 years of age. The Supreme Court allows these intelligent Judges to serve. A brain is a terrible thing to waste. “Einstein said, the only remedies against prejudice, is enlightenment & education.” Let’s be the tools for making change, let’s make history, remember, write in..... “Agi P. for Position 3.”

St. Helens High School hosts multi-school art show ST. HELENS — Twelve St. Helens High School art students were some of the many talented individuals who participated in the Northwest Oregon Conference art show on April 11.

An art show that is hosted by a different participating school each year, the St. Helens event hosted Liberty, Sandy, Milwaukie, Sherwood. Parkrose, Wilsonville and Rex Putnam high schools. Each school sent 15 students with two pieces of artwork each, such as jewelry, sculptures, paintings, drawings, graphic art and photographs.

St. Helens High School art teacher Carl Sumsion explained, “We start the day with an art show and while it is being judged the students attend art workshops. There are four workshops and we have brought in outside professional artists to teach these. Students may choose a morning and an afternoon workshop to attend. We conclude the day with an awards ceremony.”

Local students recognized at the awards ceremony were: Adam Lujan for first place sculpture and honorable mention in mixed media; Johna Snow for second place sculpture; Megan Evans for honorable mention in drawing and honorable mention in pen and ink; Cecelya Stolz for first place in scratch art; Lillie Zimmerlee for second place nonrepresentational painting; Hailey Swanson for third place non-representational painting; Chase Riesterer for honorable mention in nonrepresentational painting; Cody Kemp for first place and second place traditional darkroom photography; Christian Cox for third place

ST. HELENS — Lorin Smith, a senior at St. Helens High School, used his senior project — a requirement for graduation — as an opportunity to give back to homeless animals at the Columbia Humane Society.

“First it started out with that I just wanted to volunteer with the humane society and work with dogs,” Smith explained. “But I needed a bigger objective, so I decided on a fundraiser.”

So over his spring break, Smith set up a table in front of Walgreens to accept pet food, toys, bowls, cat litter and monetary donations.

“A lot of people were surprised that a teenager would be standing out there in the wind and the rain for the animals,” Smith noted.

His goal was to raise $500, and he exceeded it by raising $683.

Lisa Beggio, the humane society’s operations manager, said the money he raised will go toward their spay and neuter program and costs associated with operation of the shelter.

W

J

od is dead! These words echoed throughout the tumultuous days of the late 60s and early 70s. If God were dead, however, we would not exist for the Apostle Paul reminds us, “In Him (God) we live and move and exist (Acts 17:28).” Conversely, we can and must say, “God DIED!” That’s right! “GOD died!” However, there is a vast difference between the phrase that came out of the hippy years and the phrase, “God died!” Let’s explore the difference.

ith the task of our forgiveness won and God now reconciled to sinful man with our eternal debt of hell paid, Jesus utters with His dying breath, “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit.” Jesus died!

Jesus gave up His life for condemned sinners. But the One who died on the cross that day was more than a good man; more than a great prophet and more than a lesser god or one of the gods in the list of Greek, Roman and heathen deities. St. Paul says of Jesus, “In Him (Christ Jesus) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form (Colossians 2:9).” This means that God died!

W

hen Jesus spoke the words recorded in Luke 23:46, “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit,” Christ “gave up” His breath willingly. As Jesus says in John 10, “Of my own free will I am giving up my life. I have the authority to give it up and the authority to take it back again (John 10: 18).” With these words, Jesus unequivocally affirms that He is God! Why is this truth so important? If one denies this truth, he has no hope, no access to mercy, no recourse to the grace God offers the sinner.

H

owever, this truth is our comfort in the midst of our sin, for even as Christians we have many faults and sins known and unknown.

Consider God’s demands in the form of these questions: • Have you spoken or thought ill of anyone, repeated gossip or rumors, or damaged anyone’s reputation?

• Are you selfish in your marriage, or do you encourage others to be selfish?

• Have you been angry with, argumentative, or hateful towards your spouse, employer or employees, or with anyone with whom you come into contact?

s we examine even these few challenges to our lives, we cannot but see ourselves for the traitors we are. We need forgiveness! If you feel no need for daily forgiveness and continual grace, then you are not a child of God. You see, God died for real sinners. If you see yourself as a “real sinner” know this: even now your Savior and God bids you come to Him with a repentant heart desiring the mercy He won for you on the cross.

esus, who is God gave up His life, suffering the horrible torture of hell willingly so that He would see you in Paradise. This is our Savior’s greatest desire for God’s word tells us: ”God our Savior would have all men to be saved and come unto the knowledge of the truth (I Timothy 2:3).”

Yes, God died with your sins placed upon Him. Because God took those sins to the cross with Him, they cannot be counted against you because God has accepted the suffering and death of Christ as full and complete restitution for your sins.

I

f you want the assurance that God took your sins to the cross, do not look into your heart for faith or goodness. Your heart is filled with sin. Look instead to those means Christ Jesus has instituted for your comfort, Word and Sacrament. Take your baptism seriously! The Word of God tells us that if you were baptized into Christ Jesus, you have died with Him and will rise with Him to a new life free of the condemnation of sin. This is your Savior’s promise to you who spoke the words that ended His mission on this earth to reconcile you to God, “Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit.”

The St. Helens Lions (4-6, 2-1) are building a case for the importance of home-field advantage. The Lions’ first eight games of the season were all on the road. St. Helens won two of those eight games.

The Lions’ last two games have been at home, and both have been wins.

During those 14 innings, the Lions have allowed five hits and one run.

Following a 2-0 win over Sandy (4-7, 1-2), St. Helens picked up a 4-1 win over the visiting Parkrose Broncos (1-9, 0-3) on April 11. Sophomore Quintin Galvin threw a three-hitter with five strikeouts.

“Pitchers have been lights out the last two games,” said St. Helens coach Jeff Timmons. “Obviously they’re throwing great, but our defense is lights out.”

Galvin carried a one-hitter into the seventh inning.

Then with one out and two runners on in the seventh, he induced a double play ball to end the game.

peared to wake up against the Broncos as well. St. Helens had eight hits and struck out only three times.

Timmons said he thought the team could have had a few more base hits, but suspected the team was a little antsy to impress the home crowd on a windy day.

“We’re chomping at the bit trying to hit the ball out of the ballpark. And shoot, Godzilla isn’t gonna hit it out today. There’s 40-milean-hour winds blowing straight across the field.

Maybe a lefty, but that’s the deepest part of the park.

I think we’re just overanxious with our swings,” Timmons said.

Junior Brandon Jones was 2-for-3 and had a double.

“Brandon Jones did a heck of a job; he has the last two games. He’s been huge with the stick and huge with the glove. He’s been lights out,” Timmons said.

Sophomore Beau Mason was 2-for-3. Sophomore Bryce Mulcahy had a tworun single in the bottom of the fifth inning.

Little takes over Lions after Edwards resigns Jeff Edwards resigned from his position as head softball coach at St. Helens High School effective April 14.

Miranda Little, who has served as an assistant coach since the 2011 season, will assume head coaching duties for the remainder of the season.

The Lions were 5-5 at the time of Edwards’ resignation. The team’s first game with Little as head coach was April 15 at home against Sherwood (4-7) at 5 p.m.

Edwards said his family and his health are both factors for his decision, as is an increased commitment at his job.

In a press release, St. Helens athletic director Cyndy Miller said: “I would like to inform you that our head softball coach, Jeff Edwards, has resigned from his duties as coach, effective today. Jeff has struggled with coaching the last year due to his work schedule. He resigned knowing that assistant coach Miranda Little would

be able to take over the position and was confident that she will be able to lead the Lions for the remainder of the season. We are sorry to lose Coach Edwards but know that this decision was not only an extremely difficult one, but one that was right for him. He wants to thank all of the NWOC coaches for their support over the last few years and to thank all of the Lion fans and volunteers that have supported him and the teams throughout his coaching career. We wish Jeff the best.”

Miller is also the school’s JV softball coach.

Little teaches health and PE at SHHS. In addition to serving as an assistant softball coach for the past few seasons, she has also been on the coaching staff for the volleyball and girls basketball teams.

Edwards was in his ninth season as coach of the Lions. He was named the Northwest Oregon Conference Coach of the Year following the 2012 season.

In all three of their games last week, the Scappoose Indians (6-3) outhit their opponents. In the two wins, the Tribe put big numbers in the run column as well.

Scappoose opened the week with a 13-1 win over the Clatskanie Tigers (6-3).

In the next game, Scappoose recorded more hits than No. 7 La Salle (10-3, 2-0), but also recorded more errors, in a 7-3 defeat. On April 11 the Indians beat the Roosevelt Roughriders (5-8, 3-1) 9-2.

Seniors Lexi Courtney and Lacey Updike were dangerous with a bat in their hands all week.

Updike was 3-for-3 against Clatskanie. She

added a double at La Salle.

Courtney blasted a solo home run against the Falcons. She followed that up with an even bigger display against Roosevelt, ripping two home runs – a three-run blast and a solo homer.

Updike was 2-for-4 against the Roughriders with a triple and a solo home run.

Adding to the Indians’ extra-base explosion at Delta Park on April 11 was sophomore Sage Harrison, who drilled a pair of triples.

Sophomore Jessie Dykes added three RBIs against Roosevelt.

Updike earned both of the team’s wins in the pitching circle, tossing complete

games against both Clatskanie and Roosevelt.

The offensive surge for Scappoose comes at a good point in the season. The Indians open league this week.

Scappoose was home against Tillamook (5-3) on April 15.

The Indians will face their stiffest test so far this season on April 18 when they visit the top team in the Cowapa League: The Banks Braves.

The Braves are 7-0 this year and ranked No. 1 in the OSAA Power Rankings.

Indians bounce back from loss in big way It was an up-and-down kind of week for the seventhranked Scappoose Indians (8-4, 1-1) last week.

The Tribe started the Cowapa League season on April 8 with an 11-4 win over the Banks Braves (5-4, 1-1). Then the Tribe learned just how hard it is to beat a team two games in a row, dropping an 8-3 home game to the Braves two nights later.

Thanks to a rainout, the Indians didn’t have to wait long to try redeeming that loss. A makeup game was scheduled for April 11 against the Molalla Indians (4-7, 0-2). Scappoose wasted no time getting to work, scoring 10 runs in the first two innings en route to an 11-1 win.

Scappoose had scored four runs by the time the home team’s first out was

fly from sophomore Owen Parsons.

While the Indians had production up and down the batting order, junior Blake Millar made sure Molalla didn’t get any rallies started.

After giving up three hits and a run in the first inning, Millar gave up just one hit the rest of the game. He pitched a complete game with just 60 pitches.

Lions win big at home, St. Helens splits busy week then falter on the road

After early-season rain wreaked havoc on the tennis schedule, the St. Helens Lions boys were forced to play four matches in four days last week. The Lions split the four matches, beating the Milwaukie Mustangs 8-1 and the Liberty Falcons 6-3, while dropping a 9-0 match to the Sandy Pioneers and a 5-4 match against the Parkrose Broncos.

“Last week was a long week for us,” said St. Helens coach Thomas Noelcke.

Through the first six innings on April 8, Mariah Mulcahy was nearly untouchable. The junior pitcher struck out 13 of the first 18 batters she faced, including eight in a row at one point.

St. Helens (5-5) couldn’t duplicate that hot start a couple nights later when the Lions traveled to Jesuit High School (5-7, 1-0). The Crusaders scored three times in the first inning and held on for a 3-1 win.

Looking to start a rally – and avoid being no-hit – in the top of the seventh inning, three straight batters laid down bunts for the David Douglas Scots (0-11, 0-2). It appeared to be a good strategy – one went for a hit and the St. Helens fielders made errors on the other two.

But Mulcahy’s 14th strikeout of the game and two pop-ups in the infield left the bases loaded. That gave St. Helens its first shutout of the season, a 6-0 win.

Mulcahy was aware of her perfect game going into the final inning, but said it wasn’t really on her mind.

“You can’t really focus on that. I’d rather just focus on getting the win,” Mulcahy said. “That’s more of a personal thing than a team thing.”

She finished the game with a one-hit shutout. She recorded 14 strikeouts for the second straight game and did not walk a batter.

Mulcahy scored the Lions’ first run on a sacrifice bunt from junior Hailee Fischer. That was one of three RBIs on the game for Fischer, who was 2-for-2 at the plate in addition to the sac bunt.

St. Helens finished the game with 10 hits as a

St. Helens rode the right arm of junior Bryce Sanford.

Sanford gave up only two hits across six and two-thirds innings. In the top of the seventh, Sandy put runners on first and third. With two outs and clinging to a tworun lead, Timmons called on Mulcahy in relief. Mulcahy struck out the only batter he faced to preserve the victory.

St. Helens scored both of its runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Mulcahy led off the frame with a single.

Junior Brody Takemoto followed with a walk. Following a sacrifice, Mason looped a single into center field to bring Mulcahy home.

Mason finished the game 2-for-3 with an RBI. In his first at-bat, he forced Sandy’s pitcher to deliver 11 pitches

before grounding out.

After Mason’s RBI single in the fourth, junior Brandon Jones roped a line drive to right field that brought Takemoto in to score.

Senior Tyler Stangland drove in the team’s only run in the 9-1 loss at Sandy. With two outs in the top of the second, he ripped an 0-1 single to left field to score junior Bryce Winnier. That tied the game at one run apiece.

The Pioneers scored three runs in the bottom of the third inning, and added five more runs across their final two trips to the plate.

Stangland ended up 2-for3 in the game.

Lions win a pair The St. Helens Lions girls tennis team is continuing to enjoy a string of success starting the 2014 season.

The Lions beat an overmatched Milwaukie Mustangs team 9-0 on April 9. St. Helens followed that with a 6-3 win over the Liberty Falcons on April 11.

On April 14, the Lions put forth what coach Dave Geiger called their best performance of the season in a 5-4 defeat to the Sherwood Bowmen.

Tied at 4-4, only the No. 2 doubles match remained.

Sherwood’s team of Erica Lee and Tiffani Williams narrowly edged the St. Helens duo of Hannah Spears and Amanda Pardue, 6-2 7-6 (7-4) to clinch the dual meet win.

“I am very proud of the way everyone competed.

The Lady Lions are no longer concerned about the school they are playing and are focusing on what they individually need to do to win matches,” Geiger said.

St. Helens’ top doubles team of Madison Kaplan and Lexi Normine won against Sherwood’s No. 1 team, 6-1, 6-1.

The Lions also won the No. 3 and No. 5 doubles matches, with Thitika

Pratuangvijukul and Nikki Spreadborough winning 6-0, 6-4 in the No. 3 match and Sierra Castro and Kathleen Chiddick combining for a 6-3, 6-3 victory.

Jo’Cee Giroski took the Lions’ only singles victory, winning the No. 2 match 6-2, 6-3.

Against Liberty, St. Helens fell behind two matches to three, but Giroski came up with a big win in the No. 2 singles match to turn the tide. She dropped the first set 6-3, then won the next two 6-4, 6-4.

“From this point, the Lady Lions responded to the challenge, closing out the dual with wins at No. 1 and No. 2 singles, and No. 1 and No. 2 doubles,” Geiger said.

Lauren Chambers earned the win in the No. 1 spot, taking a 6-4, 6-2 win.

Milwaukie did not field a full team against St. Helens in the 9-0 decision.

The Lions are at home on April 16 for a 4 p.m. match against the Wilsonville Wildcats. Wilsonville returns junior Haley Moss, last year’s Northwest Oregon Conference singles champion.

St. Helens plays at Sandy at 4 p.m. on April 22.

kyle boggs / The Chronicle St. Helens senior Thomas Hughes won both hurdle events in a dual meet against Wilsonville last week.

Partial SHHS squads topped ST. HELENS — Several key athletes were missing from competition for the St. Helens Lions during an April 9 dual meet against the Wilsonville Wildcats. Short several point-scorers, both the boys and girls squads came up on the losing end against the Wildcats.

Wilsonville won the boys dual, 89-55, and the girls, 134-9.

A number of St. Helens seniors missed practice earlier in the meet and were held out of action against Wilsonville.

Three seniors who did compete for the SHHS boys combined for five individual victories. Bryan Strang swept the two long-distance events and Thomas Hughes won both hurdle races. Chris Gray added a victory in the pole vault.

“Three of our boys stepped up yesterday. Made me happy,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. “I thought the athletes we had yesterday competed well and the younger athletes now know what is expected of them and what are the consequences for poor decisions.”

Strang won a tight race in the 1,500 meters with a time of 4:30, a half-second ahead of Wilsonville’s Josh Meyer.

Strang ran behind Meyer

and Wilsonville’s Carlos Villagomez for much of the 3,000-meter race before making a strong move with two laps left and pulling away for a six-second victory. He finished in 9:44.

Hughes easily won both of the hurdle events. He finished the high hurdles in 16.61 seconds and the intermediate hurdles in 42.5 seconds.

Gray’s vault of 12-6 put him two feet ahead of junior teammate Jesse Vanderwall in that event.

Gray added a third-place finish in the long jump.

Junior Dallin Opdahl won the discus with a heave of 108-5. He was the runnerup in the shot put, tossing it 40-2.5.

Sophomore Bryce Bumgardner won the 400 meters in 54.67 seconds, improving his personal best time in that event by two seconds.

A runner-up finish from freshman Josie Hanna in the 800 highlighted the meet for the girls. Hanna finished behind two-time state champion Taryn Rawlings.

Running the 800 for only the second time at SHHS, Hanna finished in 2:29.68 – a halfsecond away from placing her name on the Lions’ alltime top 10 list.

“Nolan’s triple jump was pretty good for a novice in the event,” Tinkle said.

Aside from Hortert and Shoun placing second behind their teammates, two other Indians took home runner-up finishes.

Jones was caught just before the finish line in the 300 hurdles. Sophomore Jarrett White and Davison went 2-3 in the 100-meter dash. White finished in 11.59 seconds and Davison in 11.68.

Shoun added a thirdplace finish for Scappoose in the long jump with a mark of 19-7.

Senior Corey West was third for the Lions in the discus, throwing 131-9.

St. Helens will compete at Parkrose at 4 p.m. on April 16. Scappoose does not have a league meet this week.

Both schools will compete at the Wilsonville Invitational on April 19. It starts at 10 a.m.

After hosting the 21-team Lower Columbia Invitational, Tinkle will be ready to go on the road this week.

During the April 12 home meet, he was unable to do much actual coaching or observing.

“I saw very little of the meet. Directing a meet that size requires a lot of administration during the meet.

I was putting out fires all day,” he said.

“When the sun shines things always go better for athletes and meet officials,” he said.
