PUD warns customers about scams COLUMBIA COUNTY — It’s probably one of the most panic-inducing calls a shop owner can receive: The power to your business is about to be shut off. That was a recent phone call Mike Roso received that caused a brief moment of panic followed by suspicion. Roso, the general manager at Johnny’s Tavern in St. Helens, said an employee answered a call from a man who asked to speak with the person in charge of billing. “When I got on the phone, this gentleman said that our account with the PUD was in arrears $489,” Roso recalls. “He said our account had been red flagged — they used that word, ‘red flagged’. And that it had been turned over to him and that it was set up to automatically shut our power off at 5:30, so that we needed to pay this bill before then. The call came in about 4 or 4:15, so I had an hour, hour and a half. They made time of the essence. … Here we are Friday at 4 o’clock in the afternoon and I have a business to run for the weekend.” The man said he needed automatic payment via

Assessment gives St. Helens good marks BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net

A firm hired by the City of St. Helens to evaluate the city’s organization is proposing some big changes to the way the city is structured, but gave it good marks. The study found city employees value integrity, honesty and pride in customer service. City employees also gave generally good marks to the current city administrator, John Walsh, Mayor Randy Peterson and the city council. Erik Jensen, Principal

of Jensen Strategies LLC, conducted the assessment and presented his findings to the St. Helens City Council on May 8. Jensen said he was impressed by the positive, can-do attitude of the city employees in the face of budget cuts and reduced staffing. “I kind of got the impression he was surprised by it,” said Peterson. “The commitment and dedication of City employees, has helped the City maintain stability during an unprecedented financial downturn,” Jensen told the

city council. Jensen’s report did criticize the City for a lack of long-term effective planning and its internal communications. It also found the current organizational structure limits management and decision-making. In the report, Jensen recommended the city change to a city manager style of government. The Mayor-Council/commissioner form of government creates a “silo” working environment where decisions are inconsistent and can be slowed by the fact that the

councilors are part-time, he said. “If the city council continues to operate with the current form of government, it is recommended steps be taken to increase cross-departmental management, consistency and coordination,” the report said. Such a change would require amending the city charter and Peterson hasn’t forgotten a failed attempt several years ago to change to a city manager form of government. “It resounding went down,” he remembers. Jensen recommended

Roso said he knew the bills had been paid, but thought maybe there had been a billing mix-up with Johnny’s corporate office. When Roso asked the man if the company had sent any warning notices about the overdue account, the man said that notices had been sent to the bar’s physical address, not the billing address Roso generally uses.

Scappoose acting police chief, Lieutenant Norm Miller, greets the city’s new manager, Larry Lehman, after he was officially hired at the Scappoose City Council meeting Monday night.

Scappoose hires new city manager BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE — The search was over in the city of Scappoose Monday night after the city council approved a contract with Prothman Company to hire Larry Lehman as the new city manager.

Lehman comes to Scappoose from Pendleton, where he was the city manager for 18 years before retiring in 2011. During that time, he managed numerous city services and 131 full-time employees, as well as oversaw numerous projects, including the Solarize Pendleton project, a sidewalk rehabilitation

program, new parks, and other new facilities, such as the city hall, library, youth center, aquatic center, water plant and waste water treatment plant. Prior to Pendleton, he was the city manager in Seaside for 11 years, and the city manager in Kearny, Ariz., for five years. Lehman earned a bach­­­­

elor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1972 and Master of Public Administration from University of Arizona in 1976. Some of his awards and accomplishments include serving on the Seaside Chamber of Commerce See MANAGER, Page A3

ST. HELENS — Participants of all ages are invited to lace up their running shoes and become part of the strides being made to stomp out child abuse in Columbia County. On Saturday, June 7, the Race Against Child Abuse will host a one-mile family walk, and 5k, 10k and halfmarathon races at Columbia View Park to benefit the Amani Center, a non-profit organization that advocates for children’s health and safety. The half-marathon starts at 8 a.m., followed by the 10k at 9 a.m., the 5k at 9:15 a.m., and the one-mile at 9:30 a.m. Registration fees and other information is available at www.amanicenter.org. The run is one of a couple fundraisers held throughout the year to support Amani’s mission to “minimize trauma to child abuse victims through professional medical diagnosis and treatment in a secure and child-friendly environment with the goal of preventing child abuse in all forms.” Information provided by Amani Center states that there are close to 70,000 reports of abuse and neglect each year in Oregon — almost half of those victims are under the age of 6. One in three girls and one in five boys will be sexually abused by the time they are 18 years old. ­­­­ See AMANI, Page A3

Fire causes extensive damage to St. Helens home An alert neighbor warned the occupant of a burning house in St. Helens, saving her from injury and possibly saving her life. Crews from Columbia River Fire & Rescue and Scappoose Fire responded to a report of a fire on 354 N. 8th Street in St. Helens at May 15. Crews arrived to find a single-story residence with heavy flames showing in the rear of the home and extending into the structure. The crews were able to stop the spread of the fire and protect the adjacent homes. Orville Wise, the homeowner, was at work when the fire broke out. His son, Christopher, was also away at school and the sole occupant at the time of the fire was Tammy Meyers.

SCAM: PUD customers targeted in billing scheme

From PAGE A1

contact the PUD directly to clear up the issue. But the caller discouraged contacting the PUD, and claimed that the payment would not be processed in time to keep the power on and there would be a delay in restoring service to the bar. When Roso asked the man for directions to the PUD office, the caller told him it was on Columbia River Highway, but he could not tell him which side of the street it was on. Upon arriving at the PUD office, Roso was relieved to find out that his account was up to date, just as he had suspected. According to a press release from Columbia River PUD, Roso is one of several people who have been a target of PUD-related scams recently. A scammer called a Columbia River PUD customer

April 25 and claimed that the customer had to pay $350 for meter repairs or her electric service would be disconnected. Fortunately, the customer recognized it was a scam and hung up on the caller. The PUD owns the electric meters at customer homes, and would only charge a customer for repairs if the customer willfully tampered with or damaged the meter. “Scams like this are becoming more and more common,” said PUD Accounting & Customer Accounts Manager Sheila Duehring. “Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to verify whether the person is actually from the PUD.” The PUD offers these suggestions for confirming the identity of someone claiming to represent the PUD: If someone calls you on the phone: Ask for verification. PUD

employees who call customers will know the customer’s name, account number, account balance, and other information. If the caller asks you to provide these items or gives answers that don’t make sense, it’s probably a scam. If you are in doubt, hang up and call the PUD customer accounts department at 503-397-0590. Don’t trust caller ID. Today’s technology makes it possible for scammers to use a fake number on the caller ID. If you have any doubts about a conversation, hang up and call the PUD Customer Accounts Department. Keep your information safe. Don’t give out any of your PUD account information, banking information, or credit card information unless you have verified the caller is legitimate. You always have options: The PUD offers several payment options, including local pay stations, paying in

the office, paying online or paying over the phone. The PUD will never demand that you make a payment only by credit card or prepaid credit card. Please report scam calls. If you receive a suspicious call, write down the phone number from your caller ID and the number you are asked to call with your payment. Then, call local police and the PUD to report the incident. If someone comes to your door: Did you have an appointment? Are you expecting anyone from the PUD to come to your home? PUD employees who work with customers for energy audits, line extensions or other projects that require home visits will always make appointments. Look at the vehicle: PUD employees drive white vehicles with the PUD logo on

the door. Ask to see ID. PUD employees always carry PUD photo identification cards. Call for verification. To confirm the person at your door is a PUD employee, ask them to wait outside and call the PUD office at 503-3970590. PUD employees don’t solicit; they do not go door-todoor to sell utility services, to request payment for tree trimming, to make in-home electrical repairs, or to solicit bill payments. Please report scam artists. If you believe the person at your door is a scam artist posing as a utility employee, or that you have been the victim of a scam artist, call your local police department to report the incident. If you receive an email: If you are signed up for paperless billing: You will receive an email from PUD once a month letting you

know your bill is available for viewing on your account online. The safest way to respond to this email is to open a web browser and type in the address for Account Online: www.crpud. net/bill. If the email message looks different or the information in it doesn’t match what you were expecting to see, the safest way to respond is to call the PUD at 503-397-0590 to see if the message was legitimate. If it wasn’t, delete it without replying. If you aren’t signed up for paperless billing and you don’t typically receive email communications from us, and you aren’t expecting an email from PUD, it’s likely a scam. Do not reply or click on any links in the email. Do not use any contact information provided in the email. Instead, contact the PUD to confirm whether the email is legitimate. If it’s not, delete it without replying.

Oregon Housing and Community Services announces program closure Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is anticipating the closing of the successful Home Rescue Program next month. The State of Oregon is on track to commit the entire $220 million of federal foreclosure prevention dollars, provided by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Hardest Hit Fund, by that time. OHCS is encouraging people who are having trouble paying their mortgage as a result of being laid off or having hours cut at work, to visit www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org to find out if they’re eligible. “We know that foreclosure has been affecting homeowners across Oregon for many years. Together with our community partners, we have been

able to have a significant and positive impact on Oregon’s communities who have been so affected by foreclosure,” said Margaret Van Vliet, Director of Oregon Housing and Community Services. “Since Oregon began mortgage payment assistance programs in 2011, more than 9,500 Oregonians have received assistance. We hope to be able to help an additional 1,500 homeowners before the program closes in June.” The mortgage payment assistance programs, including the Home Rescue Program, have been extremely successful. Since Oregon began providing assistance in 2011, homeowners received an average of $10,219 in assistance. Ninety-four

percent of homeowners have remained in their homes 24 months after receiving assistance. Upon entering into the program, 94 percent of participants made less than $50,000 per year. Homeowners can apply for assistance in paying their mortgage in any of the remaining application cycles. Application cycles begin on every other Wednesday at noon, PST, and close the following Tuesday at noon, PST. The remaining application cycles will open on the following dates: Wednesday, May 28; Wednesday, June 11; and Wednesday, June 25. The Home Rescue Program helps unemployed and underemployed Oregon homeowners avoid

foreclosure by providing up to 12 months of mortgage payments, or $20,000, whichever is used first. The program can also bring delinquent mortgages current if the homeowners are no more than $10,000 behind on their payments. The program sends mortgage payments directly to servicers. These payments are a forgivable loan – 20 percent is forgiven each year for five years, and homeowners may need to repay the loan if they sell or refinance their home before the five-year period ends. To qualify for the program, a homeowner must earn at least 10 percent less than they earned in either 2011 or 2012, and must earn less than 120 percent of state median income,

based on household size. OHCS encourages Oregonians who might qualify to take an eligibility quiz on the website, www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org, and apply soon if they qualify and need assistance. The last cycle to submit an application will open on June 25, and will remain open until July 1. Homeowners can also visit a local agency, such as Community Action Team, to receive assistance with the application. A list of organizations, by county, is available here: www. oregonhomeownerhelp.org/ en/contact. In Columbia County, application assistance is available through

Community Action Team at 125 N. 17th Street in St. Helens, or by calling 503397-3511. Other foreclosure assistance programs, including access to counseling and mediation, will continue to be available to Oregonians. This program is funded through the Hardest Hit funds the state received from the U.S. Treasury as a result of the economic downturn and foreclosure crisis. Oregon Housing and Community Services administers the Hardest Hit funds through the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative (OHSI). Homeowners should apply before July 1, 2014.

AMANI: Striving for justice for crimes against children providers, the district attorney’s office, medical personnel, schools, partner agencies, parents and caregivers. Galovich says the agency follows the requirements set by Karly’s Law, which mitigates child abuse intervention and response. The law was named after Karly Sheehan, a 3-year-old Corvallis girl who was fatally abused by her mother’s boyfriend in 2005. Created to improve, standardize and coordinate the evaluation of children in Oregon when there are concerns of physical abuse, Karly’s Law requires that a child receive medical attention within 48 hours if that child is found to have suspicious physical injuries in the course of a child abuse investigation. Suspicious physical injury includes, but is not limited to: burns or scalds, extensive bruising or abrasions; bruising, swelling or abrasions on the head, neck or face; fractures of any bone in a child under the age of 3; multiple fractures in a child of any age; dislocations, soft tissue swelling or moderate to severe cuts; loss of the ability to walk or move normally according to the child’s developmental ability; unconsciousness or difficulty maintaining consciousness; multiple injuries

Recurrence of ssage maltreatment is 49 percent or- worse, and foster care placech ment stability is 3 percent g worse than the rest of the state. UD at Lisa Galovich, Amani he Center executive director, If says the agency uses the ut national standards of best practice in order to advocate p for children and free them you from abuse. mail “We want to make sure s, kids receive the best assessg an ment and treatment posely sible,” she says. “Children click have a right to be heard, l. Do protected and have justice rma- for crimes committed against il. them.” D to As part of a multidisail is ciplinary team, the Amani lete Center works closely with law enforcement, Department of Human Services (DHS), the Public Health Division, Columbia Community Mental Health, the juvenile department and other agencies to ensure that the victim is protected and treated. Referrals to the Amani Center come from DHS Child Welfare, law enforcement agencies, mental-health

of different types; injuries causing disfigurement or impairment; or any other injury that threatens the physical well-being of the child. Investigators are required to photograph suspicious injures and ensure that those photos are seen by a physician and others involved in the child’s case. At the Amani Center, the child undergoes an intensive forensic assessment, which includes vision and auditory screenings, and a head to toe medical examination by a physician specifically trained in identifying child abuse injuries. A child forensic interviewer speaks with the victim using research-based interviewing practices that allow the child to describe the incident in his or her own narrative. “We have a saying, ‘We give children voices’,” Galovich explains. “We let them tell us in their voice. … We empower kids here, we educate them that they’re in control and they’re in charge here.” She notes that the agency uses interview techniques that reveal the truth rather than feeding information to the child. “We’re not part of a process to put people in jail who shouldn’t be there,” she clarifies. The information gath-

ered from the assessment is provided to law enforcement and can be used as evidence in court proceedings. After the assessment, the child and non-offending caregiver are given recommendations for follow up services, such as crisis counseling, crime victim compensation assistance, advocacy and criminal justice support, and other information on how to support an abused child. Amani Center staff say it’s also important to educate the child and family members on how to prevent abuse, as studies have shown that children who have been physically, sexually, or emotionally abused are at greater risk to be abused again. “Children with disabilities are more likely to be offended,” Galovich adds. “And if they’ve been offended, the chances are more likely that they’ll be offended again.” Additionally, the health risks can go far beyond the actual incident of abuse. The Adverse Childhood Experiences study has found a relation between childhood maltreatment and health problems later in life, such as alcoholism, drug use, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, depression, suicide attempts, ischemic heart disease and others.

Galovich says the agency serves approximately 100 children annually. In 2013, they served 106 kids ages zero to 18. From start to finish, each case requires 30 to 50 hours of staff time. Many more cases come to the Amani Center each year, but Galovich says the agency isn’t able to assist with every case because there isn’t enough funds or staff. “The complaint from community partners is we can’t see enough kids or see them fast enough, but we want to and that’s difficult for us as a community,” explains Galovich. Amani Center Intake Coordinator and Family Support Services Specialist Cassy Anderson-Miller agrees, “It’s really agonizing for us when we know a child needs to be seen and we can’t provide services for them.” All of the funds raised through Race Against Child Abuse will go toward the Amani Center’s efforts to serve area children. The Amani Center is part of the National Children’s Alliance Network and the Oregon Network of Child Abuse Intervention Centers.

MANAGER: Lehman takes over as Scappoose city manager From PAGE A1

AMANDA FRINK / The Chronicle New Scappoose city manager, Larry Lehman, will settle into his new office next week. Lehman expects to work a three- or four-day work week and will receive $70 an hour compensation.

Board of Directors, being a two-time Rotary president, serving on the City/County Insurance Services Board of Directors and being the 1980 Kearny Citizen of the Year. In 2002, the League of Oregon Cities presented him with the Herman Kehrli award for his public service and contributions to local government. Per his contract, Lehman will be compensated $70 per hour and receive a temporary housing allowance of $500 per month. Lehman still resides in Pendleton but has a second home in Beaverton. Lehman, who expects to have a three- or four-day work schedule, will start at Scappoose on May 27. Don Otterman, who served as the interim city manager for the past five months, will have his last day

in Scappoose on May 21. With one vacancy filled, the council officially declared a vacant position on the council following Donna Gedlich’s resignation earlier this month. Anyone interested in serving on the city council can fill out a citizen interest form (available online at www.ci.scappoose. or.us) and submit it to Scappoose City Hall by 4 p.m., Monday, June 9. The position term expires December 2014. In other business, the council appointed Councilor Barb Hayden to the Transportation System Plan Committee and Mayor Scott Burge read a proclamation declaring May 18 through May 24 National Public Works Week. During public comment, Scappoose resident Bill Etter asked the council to “close the loophole” in the city’s business application code

regarding non-profit organizations operating in residential zones. “A non-profit organization that’s also tax exempt which promotes the arts and painting and photography and some other type of performing arts and whatnot is actually a cover for pornography, you see?” said Etter. “And things can be termed in a misleading manner and yet the application process would allow at least some insight as to the operation of that nonprofit that’s tax exempt. So this could easily be abused in that sense, and I would think that specifically for the residential neighborhood, homebased business … that this be a provision that regardless of who you are, whether you are tax exempt or not. If you’re going to be in a residential area, you’ve got to file for the application. That is what I would like to see.”

Peterson agreed with Jensen on that point, “That’s something we really need to look at.” The report noted facilities and equipment are aging and impact the ability of the city departments to serve the public. In some cases, Jensen noted, they were “inadequate to effectively deliver city services.” Jensen noted in the report the plan to purchase and redevelop the Boise Cascade property as an economic strategy enjoyed wide support and recommended the city hire a community development director or project manager to lead the initiative. Peterson said the council must now talk about the steps outlined in the report and decide how best to proceed.

Skate Clatskanie man convicted on multiple counts of rape, sex abuse park plans back on track BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

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 See PARK, Page A4

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

Planning commission resumes rezoning public hearing BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

www.thechronicleonline.com

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.

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

Salmonberry Lake open Memorial Day weekend

In order to provide veterans and the disabled with convenient access to Salmonberry Lake, the City of St. Helens will open the upper and lower gates at the Salmonberry Watershed Property for Memorial Day weekend. Beginning Saturday, May 24, the lower gate will be opened to allow vehicular access to the lake. The lower gate will remain open until Tuesday, May 27 at 9 a.m. A daily entry permit must be filled out before entry onto the watershed property. Daily entry permits are available at the upper entry gate. An annual entry permit may also be obtained at St. Helens City Hall and is recommended for frequent access to the property. All rules and regulations still apply while the gates are open. Fishing is allowed with the proper state permits. Overnight camping, fire of any kind, and alcohol are not allowed. The Salmonberry Watershed Property is located approximately 7 miles up Pittsburg Road from Highway 30. Traveling west on Pittsburg Road, the entry gate to Salmonberry Lake is located on the left side of the road. The watershed property is owned and maintained by the City of St. Helens. Twice a year, the Department of Fish & Wildlife stocks Salmonberry Lake with fish.

Scappoose students head to state capital for mock ‘constitutional hearings’ SALEM — On Wednesday and Thursday, May 21 and 22, students from schools across Oregon, including Scappoose Middle School, will conduct simulated constitutional hearings and present their work on civic issues to legislators and civic leaders at the state capitol in Salem. We The People & Project Citizen Days, hosted by Classroom Law Project, gives students the unique opportunity to experience civic education in action. At noon on Wednesday, eighth graders from Beth Cook’s class at Scappoose Middle School will sit before a panel of civic leaders, including Justice Jack Landau (Oregon Supreme Court). They will answer questions like, “Is

compromise as important today as it was at the Philadelphia Convention?” and “Where do you think the dividing line between church and state should be?” Cook’s students took part in similar hearings at Scappoose Middle School earlier this year, but this is their first time to participate in the event at the Capital. Remarking on how the students feel about the event, Cook replied, “This is an opportunity that my students have been waiting for. They have taken it and run with it. We are ready for our hearing at the State Capital next week.” State Sen. Betsy Johnson attended a practice hearing on May 15 to help the group prepare for their hearing on May 21. Senator Johnson

was very impressed with how well the Scappoose students had prepared, saying, “Beth Cook’s eighth graders were engaged, articulate and informed. The We the People program is very effective at developing critical thinking and intellectual curiosity in young people.” Also on Wednesday, student civic portfolios will be on display in the Capitol Galleria, and will be judged by legislators including Rep. Margaret Doherty (D – District 35, Tigard) and Rep. Sherrie Sprenger (R – District 17, Scio), as well as lawyers and state employees. On Thursday, students will present their civic solutions to problems such as ocean pollution from plastic bags, teen dating abuse and sex traf-

ficking. Students identified community problems earlier this year, and researched the implications and causes in order to propose a solution. We The People & Project Citizen Days at the state capitol represent two of the many civics and law-based education programs offered by Classroom Law Project annually. Established in 1983, Classroom Law Project brings vital and engaging civics and law-related education programs into Oregon schools, teaching students the values and skills essential to being an active and engaged citizen. Each year, programs involve and inspire over 400 teachers and 25,000 students from 250 schools in 75 Oregon communities.

Letters Please Vote! I just wanted to remind our Columbia County voters to get those ballots filled out and mailed in or dropped off! It is so important to have our say and exercise our right to vote for the candidates of our own choosing. So many never have the freedom to do so. Please VOTE! I’d like to offer my support to Judge Ted Grove & Judge Jenefer Grant, who have done such a wonderful job in our county. They support us in so many ways and fulfill their obligations with professionalism. I’d like to also offer my support to Cathleen Callahan, Attorney, as a new judge for our county. She has lived here for many many years and has served our citizens from behind the scenes tirelessly. She has offered her time and expertise to several Boards of Directors and citizens in all areas of the county. She lives among us, works with us and for us, and understand our needs. I would also urge you to cast your vote for the jail levy. Having worked in the social justice system my entire career and lived and worked here for several years, I know how important that jail is to our community safety and peace of mind. Let’s not “wait to see” what will happen if it closes, but support it now. This is where our children live, walk to school, play with their friends. I’d much rather know those who should reside behind those walls do so, than just wish I had voted. Lori Furman St. Helens

Thanks to Officer Molden Kudos to St. Helens police officer Molden. The house across the street from us is vacant. Recently we spotted a cat in an upstairs window. We and other neighbors checked the house to see if the cat was trapped inside or had found a way in. We couldn’t tell. We called the Humane Society, tried to find the owner to no avail, then called the police. Over the next couple of days Officer Molden came over twice, then called me on the phone. We saw the cat in the window again. I finally noticed that there was a tiny non-screened entrance into the garage, and the garage door was open into the house. Thus the cat was probably just hanging out J Thanks, Officer Molden, for going above and beyond. I know if you care this much about a cat, you must really care about people. Diane Garske St. Helens Questions government spending Recently DHS has rented a home in Scappoose and contracted services with Iron Tribe for the Strengthening, Preserving, and Reuniting Families what is known as Senate Bill 964. This bill appropriates tax dollars to a program to reunite families that have children placed in foster care. The responsibility of this spending has been given to DHS. The home rented in Scappoose was for the amount of $2,000 a month as stated by the homeowner.

by

Dave Coverly

This is 22% higher than the estimated rental value for this property as stated by Zillow at $1.643. A home that has that high of rental value has an appraised value, again by Zillow of $311,760. This is 44% higher than the average appraised home value in Scappoose. DHS with Iron Tribe were planning on placing up to 14 various family members in this home when they signed the lease in April with occupancy starting in May. Due to the neglect of checking with local zoning laws they will be limited to 5 unrelated family members unless the town grants them a variance. As it stands now that is a 57% reduction of services given at this home. These tax dollars are small compared to the hundreds of millions wasted on Cover Oregon and the Columbia Crossing but indicate how our government has lack of oversight and respect of how tax dollars are spent. Mark Eilander Scappoose Do you fear jail time? Now that most of those that are in the know, giving of their knowledge on the why and how we should keep our county jail. Just the other day on the news they showed this cat taking on a dog protecting a small boy. Two months or three past about the same thing took place but with a neighbor rescuing a child from a biting dog. It has to do with what is called providing proper discipline, which is lacking now days.

We have set aside the importance of why we put anyone in jail. We have forgotten what should be and with what kind of furnishings are made for a viable stay. You see if, we go on vacation we expect to sleep in a neat hotel - motel with fine accommodations. It seems we have taken this same step in having jails with fine accommodations. I’m thinking if the accom-

modations are less fine for those gone wrong, maybe just maybe many wouldn’t care going back to jail. The courts law claim the individual will clean up their act. It seems there are more repeat a fender then ever today. So I want you to think of what should we be doing in order to have these jails not so welcoming, the les inviting for the wrong doers. Like the dog with the cat

looking out for the child, verses a human looking out for the child with a biting dog. Lacking proper discipline? You think its how we are bringing up the young! Are we looking out for the wrong doers with our laws? It’s what we except verses, what we need for our self! The question is; do you, fear jail time? I do! Dean D. Ebert St. Helens

We cannot forget we are still a nation at war BY CAMERON SMITH Oregon Dept. of Veterans’ Affairs

Every day I feel privileged to serve as the director of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs. After three tours in Iraq as a Marine, I find great strength and solace in continuing to serve our military and veterans community. At the same time, I am humbled by the mission at hand. For the first time in history, we are serving four generations of veterans who

have served in our military, fought our battles in five major wars, and stood guard over our peace. As a state and nation, we should all feel the weight of that responsibility – perhaps no more so, than as we approach Memorial Day. If we cut through the clutter of the start of summer and screaming sales, Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to honor the memory of our fallen friends, family, and heroes. How can we ever forget

their service and sacrifice? Across the ages, from the beaches in Europe and on Pacific islands to the mountains and jungles in Asia, countless Americans have stood up to serve and have laid down their lives. At the most basic level, they fought to protect the one on their right and the one on their left, but ultimately their fight protects us all and preserves the values we hold dear. And we cannot forget that we remain a country at war. Over the last decade, we have lost almost 7,000 in the des-

erts, mountains and city streets halfway across the world in Iraq and Afghanistan. The weight of these recent conflicts has been borne by the few. Most of our citizens have not been directly touched by the wars. The same cannot be said for our Gold Star families. Attending the funerals of our fallen service members is both the hardest part and greatest honor of my job. When I grieve with Gold Star families, I am struck by their remarkable strength and

resiliency. They have undoubtedly lost a light in their lives, yet they recommit with great resolve to live their life in honor of their fallen service member. Once again, Memorial Day observances will be held across this state, and there can never be too many of them. Whether one served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East or elsewhere, veterans share a connection across the eras. William Shakespeare wrote in Henry the Fifth about this

bond between warriors: “From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.” This Memorial Day, let us all pause to remember our fallen and their families. Let us never forget what these men and women have done and what their loved ones have lost. We are stronger for their service and will never forget their sacrifice.

Yakama Nation protests proposed coal terminal in Boardman BOARDMAN —The Yakama Nation, supported by leadership from the Lummi Nation, announced today its fierce opposition to the proposed Morrow Pacific coal terminal as both a violation of treaty rights and an assault on the health of tribal members, Columbia River Basin residents and aquatic habitat. “This proposed coal terminal represents an attack on Yakama Nation treaty rights, civil rights and human rights,” said

Yakama Nation Chair JoDe L. Goudy. “It would destroy traditional Yakama fishing areas along the Columbia River and directly threaten the livelihood of tribal fishermen.” Yakama and Lummi tribal members demonstrated their opposition on the river waters that would be affected by the coal terminal. During the event, Yakama tribal members released wild rose to offer ceremonial protection of the area and for future genera-

tions. The proposed terminal by Ambre Energy would be located near the Yakama Nation’s historic treaty fishing sites on the Columbia River. Yakama Nation has been partnering with other tribal nations and state, federal and local governments to ensure that Yakama treaty rights are upheld. “The Lummi Nation has come here to support the Yakama Nation in the fight against coal in the Pacific Northwest,”

said Lummi Nation tribal council member Jay Julius. Julius has led Lummi’s fight against the Gateway Pacific Terminal at Cherry Point in Washington state. “These coal terminals, whether in Boardman or at Cherry Point, put our livelihoods and our health in danger, and are a violation of treaty rights that were negotiated by our ancestors and agreed to by the American government,” he said.

will decide by May 31 whether to approve the coal terminal. If built, tons of coal would be transported out of the area annually, loaded on trains a mile and half in length. “The Yakama people have been fishing and hunting here since time immemorial,” Goudy said. “Our grandparents depended upon the river’s resources for subsistence, as will our children. The new coal terminal will put all that at risk.”

The Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation is made up of 10,570 tribal members and is recognized as a sovereign Indian nation by the United States government (12 Stat. 951). In the Treaty of 1855, the nation reserved the rights it had exercised in the Columbia River Basin for millennia, including hunting, fishing, gathering in all its usual and accustomed places; and the right to live free from any damages to those rights.

Drunk driving crackdown planned for weekend With the Memorial Day holiday approaching, law enforcement personnel from around the area are planning to crack down on drunk driving. The St. Helens and Rainier police departments announced their participation in the DUII crackdown. “As part of an ongoing campaign to keep our highways safe, police officers will be aggressively seeking out those who drink and drive this coming weekend,” said St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. In addition to designating a sober driver, Moss offered these simple, but important tips; Be responsible. If you are hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic beverages and help your guests be responsible. Don’t let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel. Offer non-alcoholic drink options for designated drivers and those who are under age 21. Provide plenty of food to avoid guests drinking on an empty stomach and getting intoxicated more quickly. Be ready to step in if a guest has had too much to drink — offer to drive them home, arrange for a ride with a sober guest, call a taxi, or invite them to spend the night. If you are on the highways and see someone you suspect to be under the influence, you are urged to immediately report it by calling (503)397-1521 or 911. Your tip could save a life.

Memorial Day Memorial Day Originally known as Decoration Day; it is controversial whether it was the ladies of the “South” or the Grand Army of the Republic in the “North” who were most responsible for beginning the tradition of decorating the graves and publicly mourning the loss of the thousands of soldiers who died during the Civil War. What is most important is that they were united in decorating all graves – both Union and Confederate. After 1868 – Decoration Day was celebrated by most states on May 30. The end of spring was chosen because flowers across the nation would be in bloom and could be used to decorate the graves. The event also grew to honor fallen soldiers from all wars, not just the Civil War and the name was changed to Memorial Day. In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday to be recognized on the last Monday in May. Over the years Memorial Day has evolved. It is not limited to honoring only those Americans who died from serving in the armed forces. It is also a day for personal reflection. Families and individuals pay tribute to their loved ones who have died, by visiting the cemeteries, decorating all the graves with wreathes, flowers and flags; and sharing the rich heritage and stories of their ancestors with younger generations. While you are enjoying the long weekend; take a moment to remember.

NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET HEARING • For supplemental budgets proposing a change in any fund's expenditures by more than 10 percent.

A public hearing on a proposed supplemental budget for Columbia County for the current fiscal year will be held at 230 Strand Street, St Helens, OR in room 308. The hearing will take place on May 28, 2014 at 10 am. The purpose of the hearing is to discuss the supplemental budget with interested persons. A copy of the supplemental budget document may be inspected or obtained on or after May 21, 2014 at 230 Strand Street, St Helens, OR at the Finance Counter between 8:30 am and 5pm.

SUMMARY OF PROPOSED BUDGET CHANGES AMOUNTS SHOWN ARE REVISED TOTALS IN THOSE FUNDS BEING MODIFIED FUND: Fair Fund Resource 1 Fees, Permits, Fines, Service Charges 2 All other sources unchanged 3 Revised Total Fund Resources

Comments: The primary change is due to the timing of a large federal grant expected to close in FY13 but that closed in FY14 so $1,050,000 in new revenue and expenses were added to the FY14 budget for this purpose. In addition, a retirement took place in the year which was unbudgeted; a $5,000 intra-fund transfer from Capital to Personnel addressed this unanticipated expenditure. 150-504-073-8 (Rev. 12-13)

weeds and vegetables; garden diversity

Weeds and vegetables Weeds can be annoying. Their vigorous growth can rob your vegetable seedlings of sunlight. For a plant, this is a near death sentence. Most vegetables take their time germinating. Weeds Chip Bubl do not. The cabbage family is the most weed-competitive, fairly sprightly and rather vigorous with radishes leading the way. The carrot family vegetables are laggards. Parsnips, parsley and carrots are notoriously slow to poke their leaves above ground. Onions from seed with their one seed leaf followed after a suitable interval with another are rather poor competitors in the weed/vegetable jungle. They all (even the cabbages)

need your help. So you have to pay attention to weeds and tell any beginning gardeners you talk to about what they can do. Most of the weeds this time of the year are summer annuals, grasses and broadleaves. They like the warmer temperatures that your vegetables like. Moreover, they like bare ground. Combine this with the fact that there are probably weed seeds in your soil left by gardeners many years past and you can see why it is so important to pay attention at, and soon after, planting. When you plant your seed, mark where your seedlings should emerge. Then start watching to see which weeds show up with them. At first, it may seem to be a daunting task to tell your weeds from your seeds. But with a little experience, it becomes much easier, especially if you can see your

row of emerging vegetables clearly. Weeds don’t come up in neat rows. When you see the weeds and rows clearly, start pulling the weeds within four inches either side of the seed row. If your rows are spaced 12 inches or more apart, you can hoe weeds in between the zone you have hand weeded. Pay particular attention to crabgrass, a destructive annual grass that develops a fibrous root system that resists removal or takes your seedling with it when you try to pull it. The smaller the crabgrass seedling (which are somewhat hairy at this stage), the easier they are to pull without collateral damage. Weeds seedlings at this stage can be composted or tossed on the ground on sunny days to dry out and die. Transplants (and onion sets) can help get your garden off to a good start. First, you can tell them from the

weeds. Second, they are already pretty competitive. That doesn’t mean that you can slack off on weeding. It just means you have a little better margin before your plants are overwhelmed and stunted by weeds. If your vegetable space includes perennial weeds like Canada thistle, morning glory or quackgrass, you have a different challenge. These plants like their roots being chopped up. The root pieces send up shoots and you have two or more plants where before you had one. Relentless digging of roots (possible with morning glory and quackgrass, less so with Canada thistle) will help. So will removing,

Garden diversity Companion planting rarely shows positive results when put to a rigorous test (in other words, there aren’t friendly vs. unfriendly plant companions). However, research in Europe indicates that mixes sown together confuse insects and they have less success finding their hosts. Insects apparently sense which plant is which through their feet and they need four successful “steps” to alight and lay eggs or eat. When they encounter other plants before they get to four, they leave.

Finally, get to know the names of your garden weeds. There are several ways to do that. One is to have a good weed book. “Northwest Weeds” by Ronald Taylor is a decent one. So is “Weeds of the West.” Another resource is the U.C. Davis website with tutorial help as well.

The Indians scored the first run of the game, but found themselves trailing 4-1 going into the fourth inning. Scappoose regained its lead by scoring five runs in the fourth.

The Scappoose boys win league for the fourth straight season by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

YAMHILL — Late in the 2014 Cowapa League Championship Meet, Scappoose High School coach David Harley thought his boys trailed the Seaside Seagulls. With just the 4x400 relay remaining, it seemed to Harley as though a fourth straight Cowapa League title was out of grasp. Plenty of things had gone wrong for the Tribe. There was a false start leading to a disqualification in the 100. There was an Indian getting caught in a three-man pileup ahead of the pack in the 1,500. There was a block slipping at the start of the 400. Then the announcer rattled off the team scores before the meet’s final event. “In second place with 134 points, Seaside. And your leader,

with 157 points, Scappoose.” “I guess I was wrong,” Harley called out. After the meet, Harley explained it was Seaside’s success coupled with his own sometimes pessimistic ways that had him thinking Scappoose trailed. “It wasn’t so much that we were doing something wrong as it was that I thought Seaside was having a really good meet,” Harley said. Before the 4x400 began – the event in which Scappoose’s boys have the best time among any team in Oregon at any level – the Indians had already clinched their fourth straight league title. Even with all the mishaps. Then they went and won the relay, too. “The boys did fight through some adversity – not quite as sharp as they had been the previous couple of weeks – and being able to fight through that and win the

meet and accomplish what they needed to heading down to Eugene this week was really good to see,” Harley said. Led by senior Justice Oman, the Indians outscored the Seagulls by 25 points, 167-142. Oman set a new Cowapa League Championship Meet and Scappoose High School record in the 400 meters, crossing the finish line in 49.43 seconds. The school record had stood since 1983, when Dave Van Swearingen clocked a time of 49.84 seconds. Oman added a win in the 200 meters, winning the finals in 22.83 seconds. He anchored both of the winning relay teams as well. “I was very happy for him because I know that this is the first step in achieving the bigger goal of winning the 400 this weekend in Eugene. He broke a very old school

St. Helens shares ’14 NWOC title For the first time since 1996, the St. Helens High School softball team finished the regular season at the top of its conference. The eighth-ranked Lions (17-7, 12-2) beat the Parkrose Broncos (10-14, 3-11) 10-0 on May 16 to finish the regular season tied with the fifth-ranked Putnam Kingsmen (19-6, 12-2) for the 2014 Northwest Oregon Conference championship. A 5-2 loss to the Kingsmen on May 14 kept the Lions from winning the title outright. But for some, a co-championship may be a better omen: Back in ’96, St. Helens tied Banks for the Cowapa League championship before going on to win a state title. The day before playing Putnam, St. Helens took a 10-0 win over the visiting Milwaukie Mustangs (3-21, 2-12). Junior pitcher Mariah Mulcahy capped a remarkable NWOC campaign by throwing yet another one-hit shutout against the Broncos. In half the Lions’ 14 league games, Mulcahy limited the opposition to a single hit and no runs. She struck out eight batters and did not walk anyone. She also started the team’s first scoring rally of the game with a double in the second inning. She ended up scoring on a sacrifice fly from junior Alyssa Giesbers. An RBI double from senior

Kaplan and Normine broke serve at 5-5 and served out the set for the win,” said coach Dave Geiger. With those two leading the way, the Lions finished fourth overall in the eight-team Northwest Oregon Conference. After losing a marathon first match, senior Jo’Cee Giroski responded by winning four in a row to reach the final round of the consolation bracket.

PORTLAND — St. Helens seniors Madison Kaplan and Lexi Normine rolled through the 2014 Northwest Oregon Conference Championship Tournament, winning all five of their matches in straight sets en route to the NWOC doubles title. Kaplan and Normine are now 21-0 on the season entering this week’s OSAA 5A Girls Tennis State Championships. The duo made things look easy in the first two rounds of the tournament, winning 6-1, 6-0 in the first round and 6-0, 6-1 in the second round. The squad beat a Sherwood duo 6-3, 6-4 in the quarterfinals, then beat a pair of Wilsonville Wildcats 6-2, 6-3 in the semifinals. St. Helens was up against anoth-

Kali Moore brought junior Hailee Fischer in to score later that inning. St. Helens finished the game with seven hits from seven different players. Sophomore Taylor Leal had a team-high two RBIs. Sophomore Ashley Giesbers, junior Michelle Sass and Mulcahy scored two runs apiece. Entering the Putnam game, it had been two full weeks since St. Helens had last allowed a run. When the teams went into the fourth inning tied 0-0, the Lions had run up a 36-inning scoreless streak. So when Putnam scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, it would make sense for that to take the wind out of St. Helens’ sails. But the Lions answered with a pair of runs in the top of the fifth inning. Entering the game, the Lions had allowed only six runs to NWOC opponents all season. Seeing five runs cross the plate in one inning was a bit of a shock. “That hasn’t happened to us this season. We snapped out of it, scored two runs, but it wasn’t enough,” said St. Helens coach Miranda Little. “I was thinking we were gonna get a couple more the next inning, but it didn’t really

They will be less nervous and ready to compete and win,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. Several other Lions placed in the top eight to help contribute to the team scores. The Lion boys finished fifth in the team competition with 79.5 points, the girls were sixth with 47. Sandy won the boys meet with 145.5 points and Wilsonville won the girls with 190. St. Helens senior Bryan Strang was third in the 1,500 meters (4:19) and fourth in the 3,000 (9:31). Junior Jesse Vanderwall and senior Chris Gray took third and fourth in the pole vault, each clearing 12-6. Senior Tanner Long took seventh in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.85 seconds. Sophomore Angela Willson was fourth in the girls’ pole vault competition, clearing 7-6. Senior Alyssa Holz took sixth in the high jump, clearing 4-8. Senior Kennen Hembree was eighth in the javelin with a season-best throw of 98-10. The 2014 OSAA 5A Track and Field State Championships will be at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field on May 23-24.

Fourth 1-2 finish from seniors helps SHS take third by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

YAMHILL — Cowapa League runners can breathe a sigh of relief. Never again will they see Charlie Davidson at the starting line of a league meet. Through her four years at Scappoose High School, Davidson never lost a race between 400 and 3,000 meters in a league meet. “It would compare to anyone who never lost a league wrestling or golf match, or a swimming race in four years,” said Scappoose coach David Harley. She finalized that with wins in the 1,500 and 800 meters at the 2014 Cowapa League Championships on May 16. The victories were the seventh and eighth individual league titles for Davidson in as many tries. “It’s pretty cool,” she said afterward. While she admitted the feat had crossed her mind, Davidson realized it wasn’t a certainty. “You never know what’s gonna happen. You’ve always got to fight for your spot,” she said. Davidson’s two individual victories helped the Indians finish third in the six-team Cowapa League, one single point ahead of the Yamhill-

Carlton Tigers. Banks won the girls competition with 151.33 points. Scappoose had 107 and Y-C scored 106. Seaside was second at 142.33.

Not only did Davidson win her fourth straight 1,500, teammate Abby Kessi took second place behind Davidson in the 800 for the fourth straight season.

“It’s so fun. It’s always Charlie-Abby, 1-2,” Kessi said. “It’s cool because we always train together. Charlie’s always pushing me.” “And you’re always

pushing me,” Davidson interjected. “You are – especially that last lap.” Such a stretch of dominance for a pair of teammates in one event is uncommon in the Cowapa League, and in the state, for that matter. “For the two of them to be first and second for four straight years is certainly something that I have never seen in the league, and something that I know they had thought about and hoped to do,” Harley said. “A great four years of 800s from two outstanding young ladies.” Those two joined with senior Haley Wight and sophomore Eleanor Jones to take second place in the 4x400 relay. Heading into the relay, the meet’s final event, the Indians were in fourth place in the team standings. Senior Alix Raya, in her first season of track and field, won the long jump with a mark of 16-4.75. Jones was second in both of the hurdle races. She finished a half-step behind Seaside junior Allison Kilday in the 100-meter hurdles. That group will give the Tribe entries in a half-dozen events at the 2014 OSAA Track and Field State Championships May 23-24 at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. In such a tight meet, every

Three SHS girls placed in the javelin. Senior Hailee Holmason was fourth with a throw of 100 feet, sophomore Jessie Powell was sixth at 92-9 and freshman Renay Laird took seventh at 91-8. Powell was also third in the high jump, clearing 4-8. Senior Nicole Andreotti, Jones, Wight and Raya were third in the 4x100 relay. Raya and Andreotti ended sixth and eighth in the 100. Freshman Delany Sprute and Laird took fifth and seventh, respectively, in the discus. Junior Rachel Bode was sixth in the 1,500, and senior Lindsey Marquadt was eighth. Bode added another sixth-place finish in the 3,000. Freshman Amanda Orr ended up in eighth place in the 100-meter hurdles.

As expected, the Indians won each of the sprint events on the track, as sophomore Jarrett White won the 100 meters in a time of 11.44. Senior Nick Rust gave the Tribe a second-place finish in the 200 and a third in the 100. Senior Matt Shoun was third in the 400 after his block slipped from under his feet.

three top-four finishes of his own. He won the shot put with a heave of 50-5, was second in the discus with a toss of 148-5, and threw the javelin 153-1 to take fourth. Junior Joey Krupsky picked up a second-place finish in the triple jump, clearing 39-0. Junior Dan Carrier was second in the 3,000, finishing in 9:27. On the final lap of the 1,500, Carrier was in a pack of four runners well ahead of the rest of the competition. A runner from Seaside fell and a Tillamook runner tripped over him. Carrier nearly hurdled over them, but his feet got tangled up in the other runners and

he too tumbled to the track. He recovered to finish third, finishing in 4:15. The Tribe picked up points here and there elsewhere in the meet, with junior David Krupsky taking third in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the 110 hurdles. He finished one spot ahead of senior teammate Sam Herscovitz in the high hurdles. Freshman Michael Gift was sixth in the intermediate hurdles. Junior Taylor Heaton took fifth in the shot put and junior Scott Toenjes was fifth in the high jump. Sophomore Braden Clark and Joey Krupsky went 5-6 in the long jump. Junior Jacob Harley

and Gift added sixth-place finishes in the 800 and triple jump, respectively. The Tribe will enter competitors in nine events at the 2014 OSAA 4A State Track and Field Championships May 23-24 at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field. “Clearly this boys team has the potential to get quite a few meet points and maybe even win a state championship. So do some other teams that will make that a big challenge for them,” Harley said. “I have four to five teams in the 40- to 50-point range, so it could be very close.” See event times at thechronicleonline.com.

Lions make it to state ALOHA — For the first time, the St. Helens High School boys golf team has earned a trip to the 5A State Tournament. The Lions outscored the Wilsonville Wildcats by four strokes on both days of the Northwest Oregon Conference Championship Tournament at The Reserve to secure second place in the NWOC behind the Sherwood Bowmen. The Lions shot 322 on the first day, beating out the ’Cats’ score of 326. On the second 18 holes, St. Helens’ foursome improved by three strokes and shot 319 to Wilsonville’s 323. Junior Jacob Roxey had the squad’s best round over the two days, shooting an even-par 72 on the first day. He was one-under after nine holes before finishing up at even par. “His 72 was phenomenal, his best score ever. He had a 76 before. That was so good, when we really needed him,” said St. Helens coach Dave Lawrence, who was voted the 2014 NWOC Coach of the Year. Senior Cody Teyema had a score of 82 on the first day. Junior Michael Hewlett and sophomore Jordan Roark both scored 84 to wrap up the team score for the first day. With a four-stroke lead after the first day of the tournament, Lawrence said he told his team he didn’t need

Tribe wins league title by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

Five of the top nine finishers at the 2014 Cowapa League District Championship Tournament are from Scappoose High School, and the Indians are district champs. The Indians beat the Seaside Seagulls by 46 strokes at the 36-hole, two-day tournament. Seaside’s Katy Kawasoe won the individual title, shooting 78 at Astoria Golf Course on May 12 and 83 at Gearhart on May 13. Right behind her in the league standings were a pair of Indians. Junior Syrina Revis finished with a 99 the opening day and followed that up with a 93 for a twoday total of 192. Her round was highlighted by a birdie

on the 130-yard par three fourth hole. Senior Lexi Schlosser took third place individually with a two-day total of 201. She started with a 96 and answered with a 105 the second day. The Tribe’s third through fifth golfers all finished within eight strokes of one another. Junior Baylee Maloney tied for fifth place with a two-day total of 219, sophomore Isabel Jory scored 225 to take eighth, and junior Molly Landin was ninth with a 227, including a birdie on the parfour 15th hole at Gearhart. “These girls have worked really hard this year,” said Scappoose coach Chris Downie, who will guide his team to the state tournament for the third time in his three years as head coach. Scappoose has finished

second in the league each of the last two seasons. “The whole team played well and I really think that we would have been competitive regardless of the year or the teams present at our district tournament,” Downie said. “Although we might not have an individual who will score amongst the top girls at the state tournament, our team is really consistent 1-5. If these girls can continue the trend of playing their best golf late in the season, we can really make some noise in the tournament next week.” The girls were at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis May 19-20 for the 4A/3A/2A/1A State Championship Tournament.

Scappoose at home May 22 by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

The ninth-ranked Scappoose Indians (16-8, 10-5) will host the Junction City Tigers (11-9, 9-6) for a play-in game at 5 p.m. on May 22. The Tigers ended up third place in the Sky-Em League and are ranked 21st in the OSAA Power Rankings. Scappoose, despite finishing third in the Cowapa League, was awarded a home play-in game because of its high spot in the Power Rankings. The Indians ended the regular season with a pair of wins over the Astoria Fishermen (12-14, 6-9) during a May 15 doubleheader. The Tribe collected just four hits in a 7-3 win in the first game.

After a single and a fielder’s choice in the fifth, senior Wade Nelson fell behind in the count 0-2. He fouled off a pitch, then worked the count full before drawing a walk on the eighth pitch of the at-bat. Next came a four-pitch walk to Ford that loaded the bases. Patton, the next man up, walked on four pitches to bring in the tying run. Hoyt was then hit by a pitch that brought around the go-ahead run. The Indians will host a first-round state playoff game on May 28. Scappoose won’t know its opponent until May 24.

Scappoose won a 2-1 nailbiter against Seaside on May 15. The Indians drew four straight walks and were hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning to score both of their runs.

Freshman Nathan Mapes shot 200 to take 17th. “The season started with a group of young players without a lot of playing experience and ended with a group whose hard work and enthusiasm earned them a trip to the 4A State Tournament at Eagle Crest in Redmond,” said Scappoose coach Steven Hagen.

St. Helens ends one spot shy of postseason Junior Ryne Poorman took a shutout into the eighth inning on May 16 before turning the ball over to sophomore Bryce Mulcahy to close things out for the St. Helens Lions (9-15, 7-10). Mulcahy recorded the final two outs and St. Helens took a 1-0 win in extra innings against the Milwaukie Mustangs (6-19, 3-14). For a few moments, it looked like that win would be enough to extend St. Helens’ season. After the game ended, the Lions were 24th in the OSAA Power Rankings. When the Astoria Fishermen lost to the Scappoose Indians, however, the Wilsonville Wildcats (10-15, 8-9) leapfrogged the Lions by less than a point in the rankings.

tournament, with the Lions winning 12-3. The right arms of Poorman and Mulcahy did everything they could to extend the Lions’ season. Poorman struck out eight batters before allowing a walk and base hit in the bottom of the eighth to put runners on the corners. Enter Mulcahy, who walked the first batter he faced, then got a strikeout and pop-up to finish the game. A grounder from Mulcahy in the top of the eighth brought home St. Helens’ run. Senior Noah Weitzel got on base when he was hit by a pitch with one out. A single from junior Bryce Winnier moved him to third. With runners at first and

third, Mulcahy grounded to the shortstop. Milwaukie tossed to second base for the force out, but Mulcahy managed to make it to first base in time to avoid the double play and let Weitzel score. Winnier ended the game with two of the Lions’ four base hits. The Lions took a 6-0 first-inning lead against the Mustangs on May 13 before ending up with an 8-2 win. With a large cushion, junior pitcher Bryce Sanford stayed in complete control all game. He threw a threehitter. Both Mustang runs were unearned. Sanford struck out six and walked two. Sanford got plenty of help from his defense as

well, specifically from senior left fielder Noah Weitzel. After a Milwaukie triple to lead off the fifth inning, Weitzel caught a fly ball to the following batter. When Milwaukie’s leadoff hitter tried tagging up, he was gunned down at the plate by a perfect strike from Weitzel with Winnier fielding the throw and planting the tag on the runner. Offensively, Weitzel ended up 1-of-2 with an RBI and a run scored. Senior Josh Keller was 2-for-3 before leaving the game with a hand injury in the fourth inning. Senior Tyler Stangland was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a double. Mulcahy went 2-for-3 and tripled. – By Kyle Boggs

PORTLAND — The St. Helens High School boys tennis team finished sixth in the eight-team Northwest Oregon Conference at the 2014 NWOC District Championship Meet. Wilsonville won the meet with 38 points; St. Helens scored 10 team points. The Lions’ doubles team of Ryan Ward and Keenan Reed shook off a 6-1, 6-2 defeat in the first round to come back and win the

consolation bracket. Reed and Ward won by scores of 8-2, 8-6 and 8-5 to reach the consolation finals. In their last match, they beat Sandy’s John Behan and Will Silva 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Twins Miles and Jarrett Boynton won their first doubles match 6-4, 6-2, then lost 6-5, 6-3 in the second round. Atsushi Sakurai also won his opening-round match in the singles bracket. He

took down Putnam’s Ethan Johnson 6-3, 6-0 before falling in the second round 6-0, 6-0 to eventual fourth-place finisher Mohsen Assadi of Liberty.

work out.” The Kingsmen put their first batter of the fourth on base and followed that with a perfectly executed push bunt. That bunt put things in motion for the Kingsmen, as four of the next five batters recorded base hits in the frame. Five of Putnam’s eight hits in the game occurred in the decisive fourth inning. St. Helens senior leadoff

hitter Stevie Strawn reached on an error to start the fifth. After a sacrifice bunt from Ashley Giesbers, Sass sent a triple to right field to bring Strawn home. A groundout from Leal scored Sass. Sass finished the game 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. It was no contest for the Lions against the Mustangs. Mulcahy tossed a two-hit shutout, striking out nine and walking one. St. Helens jumped on

Milwaukie early, batting around the lineup and scoring four runs in the first inning. They went on to score twice in the second, twice in the third, and then one run each in the fourth and fifth innings. Ashley Giesbers was 3-for-4 at the plate and scored three runs. For the second straight game she stole four bases. Sass and Leal hit Milwaukie’s pitchers well. Sass was 2-for-3 and scored two

runs. She had two RBIs. Leal wound up with two RBIs also, finishing 1-of-2 at the plate. Strawn was 2-for-4 at the plate. Sophomore Kayla Finch added an RBI double in the fourth inning. The Lions finished the season ranked eighth in the OSAA Power Rankings, meaning St. Helens will host a first-round state playoff game on May 28. The Lions won’t know their opponent until the play-in round is

completed on May 24. To stay sharp, St. Helens scheduled a game against the No. 4 Barlow Bruins (20-5, 14-1) on May 20. The Bruins are the 2014 Mt. Hood Conference champions. Because this game takes place after the power rankings have frozen, the outcome will not affect either team’s standing heading into the postseason.
