Railroad briefing looks at potential derailing

Planner: Recovery house can stay

SCAPPOOSE — After a city council meeting last month raised questions about recovery home coming to town, Scappoose residents again filled the council chambers Monday night to get answers, though the answers they were given may not have been what they were anticipating. The house in question, a twostory home on Maria Lane in Columbia River View Estates,

LINNTON — Just a day before a CSX freight train carrying crude oil derailed and caught fire on April 30 in Lynchburg, Va., Gov. John Kitzhaber’s office called for a legislative briefing in Linnton to educate local government officials, legislators and congressional staff about the plans for remediation if a crude oil train were to derail along the Columbia River. The briefing hosted presentations by representatives from Union Pacific, BNSF and Genesee & Wyoming railroad companies and federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Coast Guard, Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal, Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Rail Division, Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Office of Emergency Management (OEM), and Office of the Governor. The meeting was protested by some residents and the public interest group Columbia Riverkeeper, which opposes the use of local rail lines to ship tank cars of crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota through the Columbia River Gorge to the Columbia Pacific Biorefinery at Port Westward near Clatskanie. Jasmine Zimmer-Stucky, community organizer for Columbia Riverkeeper, said, “The rally was a strong showing of community opposition for oil trains. Over 60 Portland and Columbia County residents came together to make regional opposition to oil-byrail visible to elected officials and agencies attending the briefing.” Opposition to crude oil transport seems to have increased since March, when the refinery’s logistics company, Global Partners, was issued $117,000 in fines for increasing its shipments beyond the

Bomb threat empties courthouse BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net

A call-in bomb threat emptied the county courthouse May 1, disrupting courts and surrounding businesses. No bomb was found. About 2:00 p.m. on Thursday a courthouse employee received a phone call telling her pipe bombs were in the building and were set to go off today. County Commissioner Earl Fisher said they contacted city police who called in squads to search both the new and historic courthouse buildings. According to Fisher, courthouse

employees quickly evacuated the building. “I was real pleased with our people. They followed our plan,” At least one court was in session when the evacuation order came, according to Fisher. Police cordoned off the area around the courthouse, prohibiting people from entering or approaching the buildings. Some area businesses were also evacuated. Two squads of officers, made up of police departments from several local jurisdictions searched for about an hour, but found nothing suspicious. Sgt. Phillip Edwards of the St. Helens Police Dept. was incident commander.

Edwards said ten officers participated in the sweep while an additional three officers helping with traffic control. They performed what Edwards called an “eyes only” or visual check. “If they see something suspicious, they come back here,” Edwards said. Because the report was non-specific, meaning they have no information as to the nature of the device, use of phones and radios were prohibited during the search. An “all clear” was given at 3:22 p.m. Police Chief Terry Moss said investigators have not yet identified suspects, but the investigation is ongoing.

Developer to appeal rock removal decision ST. HELENS — On May 13, Project Delivery Group and S. St. Helens LLC plan to appeal an administrative decision that denied issuance of a sensitive lands permit for a project that would entail removing a bluff between North 10th and 12th streets in St. Helens. The project consists of removing 500,000 cubic yards of rock from the 5.3-acre site in order to facilitate development in the area. The applicants’ first sensitive lands permit request was denied in July 2013. Back then, Project Delivery Group said of the project, “Most of the site is rock outcrop approximately 40 feet above the adjacent streets and properties. To develop the site, the developer will remove the rock below finish grade and fill the site with appropriate material for home construction, lawns and trees.” Rock removal would be achieved by blasting the rock and then hauling it out in large trucks. The developer would also have to bring in about 200,000 cubic yards of fill for grading. Concerns surrounding the proposed project include noise, increased traffic on residential streets, and potential impacts on nearby wetlands. The Planning Commission will meet at 7 p.m. at city hall, 265 Strand Street in St. Helens.

Multiple Accidents on Hwy 30

A rash of serious traffic accidents plagued Highway 30 over the last week. At least three collisions have sent people to the hospital, some with serious injuries A collision between a passenger car and a tow truck sent one person to the hospital with serious injuries on May 3. About noon on Saturday a BMW sedan driven by Riley Holcomb 22, of Columbia City was headed northbound on Highway 30 in Columbia City when it drifted over the center lane and hit a tow truck driven by Richard Joseph Lager Jr. 43, of Deer Island. Holcomb was pinned in his vehicle and had to be extricated by emergency personnel from Columbia River Fire and Rescue. Lifeflight took him to OHSU in Portland with serious, but not life-threatening injuries. According to Columbia City Police Chief Michael McGlothlin, See WRECKS, Page A11

RAIL: Hazmat response a coordinated effort From PAGE A1 allowable 50 million gallons per year without obtaining the required Air Contaminant Discharge Permit from DEQ. Global Partners disagreed with DEQ’s claims. Officials from the governor’s office said the briefing was designed as an opportunity to learn about work that’s being done to ensure the community is safe and trains run as safely as possible. According to OEM representatives, in the event of a derailment involving hazardous materials, local fire departments and emergency medical services would be dispatched to the scene and OEM would notify other agencies around the state. Dave Stuckey, OEM director, noted that BNSF and Union Pacific develop their own incident command structure and response, and would coordinate with the city or county in which the incident took place. OEM coordinates with local jurisdictions to develop and maintain city and county emergency operations plans. Through the Oregon Emergency Response System, OEM serves as a single point of contact to assist cities and counties by coordinating with state (and sometimes federal) emergency response agencies through the state’s Emergency Coordination Center. It also serves as the state’s 24-hour central reporting point for the notification of oil and hazardous materials spills and other emergency incidents. Stuckey described his agency as “kind of a glue that brings everyone together in that collaboration, planning, response effort. We don’t necessarily own that event on the ground. We’re not going to be the first responders that are managing that incident, but we’re going to be the ones supporting it in either a coordination role, in either a support role, or potentially in a lead role on the ground itself for that incident.” The scene would be owned by the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office and the responding hazardous materials, or hazmat, team. “We have hazmat teams situated throughout the entire state of Oregon,” Stuckey explained. “There are local fire departments that also have a higher level of training and readiness that when they get mobilized for a hazmat incident, they start working for the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office.” There are 13 regional hazardous materials emergency response teams across the state. When a team responds to a train derailment, they typically set up safety perimeters, hot zones and isolation zones and start evacuations of nearby areas, if necessary. According to Portland Fire & Rescue Lt. Dave Keller, “For hazmat teams within

the state, our job is to figure out the hazardous material, mitigate the situation, contain it, and then allow the contractors to come in and clean up. We don’t do any clean up; we don’t take any product home. The time it takes for us to turn it over to private sector can be hours or it can be days.” Part of DEQ’s planning is done through a geographic response plan, which identifies the resources at risk — such as humans, animals and native lands — and the strategies to protect them in the event of a spill. “Oil is new in these kind of quantities,” said DEQ Senior Emergency Response Planner Don Pettit. “Actually it’s been going through for years, but it’s new in these quantities, so we don’t have strategies for the entire state preplanned.” According to Pettit, spill cleanup strategies vary depending on the viscosity of the material and how much has escaped. Spills can be non-visible, appear as a slight sheen on the surface of the water, or several feet deep. Pettit said water cleanup is typically done with advisement from DEQ, the Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

and EPA. E&E Global Environmental Specialists, an environmental management company contracted by DEQ, had a display with examples of booms and skimmers used to absorb oil and chemicals, as well as air monitors and other equipment used in hazmat cleanups. Edward Chapman, director of hazardous materials for BNSF Railway Co., presented examples of the spill response trailers and foam trailers used in the event of a derailment. “When we began transporting ethanol over a decade ago, we realized that the railroad goes through the environment where there aren’t municipal fire departments,” Chapman explained. “So to be able to have the right type of foam and to be able to have an apparatus like this, which is essential like a fire truck without wheels and sirens on it, we began deploying these roughly every 500 miles across our system.” Foam trailers have the capacity to hold 20,000 gallons of water and two pumps that each pump 550 gallons of water per minute. There are two 225-gallon totes of alcohol resistant aqueous film forming foam, which is used

Global Partners LP, the owner of Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery announced April 30, it will voluntarily begin requiring compliance with CPC-1232 rail car design standards for all crude oil unit trains arriving at its East and West Coast terminals. The program will be phased in at Global’s crudeby-rail receiving facilities in Clatskanie starting June 1, 2014. The announcement comes on the same day another train derailment in Lynchburg, Va caused an explosion and fire. “Global is committed to safety, and as part of that commitment we have made the proactive decision to begin only accepting crude oil unit trains consisting entirely of CPC 1232-compliant cars,” said Eric Slifka, the Partnership’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This initiative pertains to all crude oil rail cars received at the terminal, regardless of whether they are operated by a third party or leased by Global.” Global Partners ships crude oil by rail through Columbia County to Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery, its terminal at Port West-

for ethanol and crude oil spills. Information was also provided regarding the preventative measures enacted by transportation agencies and the railroad industry to avoid train derailments and oil spills altogether. Representatives from ODOT shared the responsibilities of railroad safety, which included ensuring proper operation of the trains, the crew, and the track. Depending on their respective disciplines, railroad inspectors may look at tank valves; make sure closures are sealed properly; review the train’s operating practices; ensure train crews are getting the sleep they require; examine the car to make sure it’s in compliance; check the running gear and brakes; examine the track’s cross level; and make sure signals, gates and other electronics are working properly.

ward, where it is loaded on barges. According to company officials, the bio-refinery began receiving crude oil shipments in November of 2012 and has received around 140 trains in total so far. Each train carries approximately 3 million gallons. Governor John Kitzhaber applauded Global’s announcement. “I appreciate the commitment to safety Global Partners is showing to its neighbors in northwest Oregon,” said Governor

Kitzhaber. “Rail operators, shippers, and facility owners have an obligation to take every measure possible to ensure hazardous materials they transport and receive are shipped as safely as possible.” The Lynchburg train derailment of approximately 15 tank cars caused a massive fire and spilled oil into the James River. News reports said three cars were punctured. The derailment and fire caused officials to evacuate several blocks of downtown Lynchburg.

RAIL: Industry pushing safer tank car design From PAGE A2 to the railroad. When the shipping company is identifying the material, selecting the proper package, in this case a tank car. Properly documenting it and putting the proper shipping papers together and then offering that compliant package … that tank car, to the railroad. And then I also oversee and enforce the regulations that the railroads are required to follow as they carry that material in that tank car to destinations. And then we also have regulations that cover portions of the unloading of that tank car all with the goal in mind of keeping the public, the environment, the railroad employees safe from the hazards that are associated with those materials.” Two tank cars were on site for guests to observe the differences between the DOT-111 and CPC-1232 models, both of which hold 30,000 gallons and are approved to transport crude oil and other liquid hazardous materials. The railroad industry has proposed that the CPC-1232’s design be part of the new construction standards for tank cars used to transport crude oil. “The big difference between the two is the DOT legacy 111 car is 7/16” thick steel,” explained Tim O’Brien, director of hazardous materials management for Union Pacific Railroad. “The new standard since 2011 is 1/2” thick. So, I know we only increased it 1/16”, but that made it a much more robust car. It’s made out of the same type of steel. The other significant difference is on the CPC-1232 car, we have a ½” thick piece of steel protecting the bottom half of the head of that tank

car. History of derailments has shown us that sometimes cars become uncoupled, and they hit the ends of the tank car. This head shield will protect that car from any punctures from the forces involved in a derailment. “The other big difference is if you look at the top of the car,” O’Brien added. “The CPC-1232 has a 1/2” thick protective housing around the valves and fittings, whereas the legacy car has a rain cover covering the valves and fittings. The CPC-1232 is designed to protect the valves and fittings if this car rolls over, so it’s providing protections to the openings of the car. The legacy car does not afford that same protection. The other thing we have is discontinuity protection, or skid protection, on the bottom of the car protecting the bottom outlet valve. That’s designed so that if the car does hit the ground, the extension on the bottom outlet valve is designed to sheer off and the valve remain intact and not open up.” He continued, “The other AMANDA FRINK / The Chronicle thing we’re doing is we’re The April 29 briefing hosted representatives from Portland Fire & Rescue and the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s office share information about constantly looking at ways to hazmat teams, their training and their responsibilities. improve, so we’re evaluating yet another spec for the DOThigh capacity relief valve.

Wayne Mayo is an extremely hard worker who is dedicated to the improvement of Columbia County. He takes a common sense approach to problem solving and will bring energy and a deep commitment to the position of Columbia County Commissioner. He is a dedicated family man and is devoted to serving the people of Columbia County. He has the courage to do what is best for Columbia County, and will not be afraid to make the changes necessary to make Columbia County more efficient and that is what we need now at all levels of government. I encourage everyone who feels a change in the County Commissioners is past due, vote Wayne Mayo, Commissioner, Position 2. Grant W.

A bold statement I know. How? As we all know, one of the biggest problems we have is the ongoing drug problem. This is one of the biggest drivers behind crime in this county. When we get them in at the jail, they have a chance to recover, to heal, to get better. Is this the best thing? No. A rehab program would be best, but this is what we have. They may come in and out many times before they get straight. It is not perfect

but it is what we have. What happens after that is gone? I do not know but as I said before, it is not a numbers game, it is about lives. I can also tell you that the men and women who work at the jail are persevering under incredible pressures. It is an unappreciated, inherently dangerous and demanding career field. They believe, they care, they are dedicated. It is truly heroic. If you could see them at work, see what they try to accomplish day in and day out, you would truly be proud of them. I am. Lee Rigdon St. Helens Supports Heym After attending the candidates forum last week in St. Helens, it is clear there is only one good choice for circuit court judge position one. That clear choice is Jason Heym. Jason truly cares about the legal profession and has a real desire to serve the people of Columbia County. He has wonderful ideas about how to cut down on the clogged judicial system we now experience. He also feels strongly that judges should always be on time for court and anything less is inexcusable and unacceptable. He, along with his clients, have had to wait on a tardy judge many times at our courthouse. He understands the stress and strain that puts on all involved. He will commit to promptness. Jason is involved in many volunteer projects in the community. Unlike others at the forum that night, it was hard for him to even remember all that he does.

volunteers to give the help that is needed, not for the glory he can get from it. He is a strong family man and loves this county. One of the current seated judges does not even live here and was appointed to fill a vacancy by our governor, as opposed to Jason, who is avidly seeking this position. I strongly encourage you to vote for Jason Heym. Claudia Frace St. Helens Heym would be a good judge Choosing a Circuit Court Judge is an important responsibility for all of us as citizens. How do you know who to vote for? I am voting for Jason Heym as Circuit Court Judge to fill my husbands’ former position for the state of Oregon. Knowledge and experience is key in becoming a judge. When any attorney becomes a judge, they have a huge learning curve to overcome. Not all attorneys have trial experience. Most attorneys specialize now in only one field of expertise, thus having no knowledge of other types of law. In our county, our judges must handle all types of cases and share in a variety of casework. Jason is an intelligent and experienced trial court lawyer. Jason not only is a lawyer but holds a master’s degree in business administration. He has handled criminal and civil lawsuits, domestic relations and disputes, complex divorce and asset cases, custody and grandparents rights, juvenile cases, drug and alcohol abuse related cases, tax cases, landlord and tenant law, commercial and residential real estate disputed cases and personal injury. Jason is

experienced in all types of law which gives him the credentials he needs to become a GOOD judge. Listening and getting cases resolved is another attribute that is appreciated by our community and Jason will work hard for all of us to keep his lines of communication open and work collectively with the public and attorneys to settle your cases. Last but not least, Jason is a family man. He lives in Scappoose. He has a small farm. I have come to know his wife Mayland and two children over the last year. I know he will do an excellent job for us.

I know what it takes to be a good judge because I’ve been married to one for the last seven years and Jason has what it takes to be good judge. Jason is looking forward to serving you and making this community a place where you always want to live and to be safe. Nina Reed St. Helens

pay rent, taxes, staff, food, etc. A person comes in and buys a $10 lunch. Do you turn the person away because you need to make $200 per day? If that was your only customer for the day, do you tell everyone you had $10 in “income” or do you say I lost $180 today? That is the situation we are faced with. While the federal inmates help to cover our fixed costs to run the jail, Tony Hyde’s plan to run the jail as a business is a complete failure. We need about 110 federal prisoners each day to break even. A business would have to get more customers, lower

costs, or raise prices. In our case, the county wants you, the taxpayer, to fund their failed, ill-conceived idea of running a business by housing federal prisoners. I think a jail is important, and I might be willing to fund the jail for a short time while we work to see if there are other solutions. But, when the county denies the problem – that the jail was a bad idea and that we don’t have enough federal inmates to cover the overheard costs of our too big jail. I have no faith they will ever find a solution. I might forgive their plan to run the jail as a business - but they first have

to admit it was wrong - or they will do again and again. In 2008, as the costs of the jail climbed, Tony Hyde had the brilliant idea to double the size of the jail to almost 600. Because the solution for a too big jail is to make it bigger. The bothersome fact is not that this plan failed again, but that Mr. Hyde just a few weeks ago said that it was too bad we did not double the size of the jail. Really? We can’t afford a 255-bed jail, and you wish it was double. Really? So much for learning from your mistakes. The county as proposed a citizen advisory committee if the jail levy passes. But,

We need a jail It’s NOT about what happened when the jail was constructed. It’s NOT about what will happen in three years when the levy expires. It’s NOT about how

much it costs to house a prisoner. It’s NOT about which elected official you don’t trust. It IS about our quality of life…..our property values…..the economic health of all of our communities…..the SAFETY of all of us - you , your family members, your friends, your neighbors, and everyone that passes through our county. Without a jail, we will all lose – big time. Please – do not cut off your nose to spite your own face. We are facing a crisis in this county right ­­­­ See LETTERS, Page A5

Viewpoint Vote NO on 5-238 Much has been said about the cost to house federal prisoners. Many including commissioner Hyde has called the math “voodoo math”. For a moment, lets forget about the past (as the county wants you to do) and talk about the future if the levy passes. A $5,000,000 yearly budget /365 days /100 local + 60 federal inmates = $85.62 per day cost to house an inmate at our jail if the levy passes, period. Not complicated. So, by renting beds at $78 per day, even after getting a $7 million bonus from the tax payer, we will still be losing money on the federal

inmates! These costs do not include the cost of the jail for which we are still paying – so the daily costs are actually greater. And, contrary to Henry Heimuller’s claims at the candidates forum, the sheriff does not have some magic number where they are making $30 a day - I asked the sheriff and he just looked sad. So, why do the sheriff and county commissioners want the federal inmates so bad and claim them as “income”? Lets say you are a smart businessperson and have decided to open a restaurant and have determined that your daily costs are $200 per day to

Letters From PAGE A4 now. WE NEED A JAIL. Vote YES for the jail levy. Work on the solving or improving all of the other issues during the next three years. Leahnette Rivers Columbia City

Voting for Cathleen Callahan Divorce and child custody cases can be some of the most gut wrenching court cases. These are truly sad events, and hopefully the families made their decision mutually and respectfully. In Columbia County, it can take up to a year to finalize a divorce. It is difficult to imagine that anyone should have to wait a year to be able to move on with their lives. That is why I will be voting for Cathleen Callahan for Circuit Court Judge this May. Cathleen will help to speed up these rulings, and help families find closure quickly and efficiently. Cathleen currently owns a small practice in downtown St. Helens. She works everyday to help people dealing with divorce, child custody, employment, and contract law. Cathleen spends hours every day listening to the problems of average Columbia County citizens, and helping them work through these issues. a We need someone with strong experience in famch ily law to focus on these n’t types of cases and issue a quick and fair decision. Cathleen Callahan rty has more experience than c any other candidates in mmu- practicing family and civil of law in Columbia Counm- ty. She will work to give nds, families and individuals ery- the closure that they need. h our If you want a judge we who will help make our . courts more efficient, and off will help families through difficult times to find fair ng a solutions to their probht lems, you should vote for Cathleen Callahan for

Circuit Court! Dave and Barbara Curtis Warren The Right Kind of Values A judge needs to know a criminal when she sees one, and ensure that someone who is really guilty of a crime gets locked up. But a judge should be compassionate too. Everyone, regardless of income or background, should have a voice in court, and a judge needs to defend that. We can depend on Cathleen Callahan for that. She has dedicated herself to our community by volunteering her time. Cathleen has donated over 250 hours a year to low-income people through pro bona work. These people can’t get heard in court, because they don’t have the money to hire a lawyer. Cathleen will represent these people for free. She will work to ensure that our courts don’t have a “you must be this rich to ride” element. Cathleen has long volunteered her legal expertise to Columbia County CASA for Kids. CASA for Kids helps fostered children find permanent homes. She provides free legal representation to the Columbia Humane Society and the Clatskanie Healthcare Coalition. She is a member of the Rotary Club, and she coaches year-round Special Olympics events. Cathleen is on the board of SAFE, formerly the Columbia County Women’s Resource Center, Columbia County Legal Aid, the Chamber of Commerce and is an associate member of the United Way of Columbia County. Our judges need to be tough, but they also need to be fair. And that means being compassionate. That’s why you should vote for Cathleen Callahan for Circuit Court! Wally Thompson Vernonia Wants to stop rumors I would like to stop the

rumors that are being spread by one of the candidates for judge regarding our Judge Jean Martwick. As her realtor and good friend of many years I can guarantee you that in fact Judge Jean Martwick lives in the city limits of Scappoose. Over five years ago we found her a home that had a separate living quarters so that her disabled veteran son could live next to his mother, so she could take care of him instead of her putting him into a disabled veteran facility. And before that I sold her other home that was also in the city limits of Scappoose. The other rumor this candidate is telling is that she lives on Dixie Mountain in a dream mansion. YES she owns property on Dixie Mountain but this dream mansion is a 700-square-foot cabin that she can retreat to at times from her very stressful and demanding but wonderful life. So please get your facts straight before hitting the campaign trail again. Please vote for Jean Martwick who has thousands of hours in the courtroom and has appeared in front of hundreds of judges in her career and knows what it takes to be a great judge for our county! Susie Wilson Scappoose Follow the Constitution When you run for public office, join the military, become a policeman or a fireman; you are required under Article 6 clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution to give an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and Domestic. In the 2nd clause of Article 6 it is confirmed that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. There are several Supreme Court decisions stating that any law contrary to the Constitution is not a law and is unenforceable. Too often, public officials shirk their responsibili-

ties, breaking their oaths. Judges seem to rule on precedence rather than the constitutionality of a law, just to name one example. This is a scary situation. Our founders were extremely brilliant and had a reason for every part of our Constitution. We must hold our public servants to their oaths of office or our liberties will disappear. Usurpations have already become commonplace. We already have a president who tries to legislate from the oval office and only enforces laws that he likes. We have a Supreme Court that legislates from the bench. Police officers around the country are imposing military style tactics to intimidate, control and overwhelm. The reason for government is not to control us, but to protect our right to life, liberty and property, but they don’t even protect our borders and they are stealing our rights and property. As I listened to the various candidates running for Judge at the Village Inn the other night, I was taken aback when I heard most of the judges admit that they would make a ruling based on the law itself, not the Constitution. Everyone who takes an oath must consider the constitutionality of a law from the police on up. We cannot say that if it is unconstitutional the Supreme Court will fix it, it is everyone’s duty. There are so many ridiculous laws now that the Supreme Court could never rule on them all. To all of our candidates, I am asking you to keep your oath of office when you get elected. It is after all, your solemn word and it isn’t just words. Chris Brumbles Deer Island Time for change I appreciate those who give of their personal time to work toward public good and am convinced it is important now to move away from professional politicians whenever possible.

Wayne Mayo and Cathleen Callahan are two people on the ballot for election who have proven themselves by making a difference, donating many hours of community service to improve our lives here in Columbia County. Please join me in voting for them. Arnold Reed Scappoose Vote for Heimuller We have a decision to make as Columbia County residents: we can remain status quo, or we can move forward for our future and the future of Columbia County. I believe in moving forward and not becoming a bedroom community of Portland and Beaverton. The economy in our county has been tough. We need family wage jobs, but we also need companies and individuals that are willing to work hand in hand with our communities. It’s no secret that federal tax dollars and timber tax revenue have all but disappeared. We need local leaders that have stood by Columbia County and its citizens and who have been willing to make the tough decisions every day. One that cares about our schools, law enforcement, our seniors and our veterans. As a voter I look to ones who have experience and foresight to serve their neighbor in a time of need. It’s for these reasons I’m supporting Henry Heimuller for Columbia County Commissioner. Henry has shown the skills and integrity to work alongside the other commissioners and for the people. He makes hard decisions to bring new family wage jobs to the county. Henry is one of us, born and raised in Columbia County; he asks the tough questions to get honest answers to bring the best to all citizens. I urge your support for Henry Heimuller for County Commissioner. George Schmitz Warren

Henry Heimuller best choice Henry Heimuller is getting our votes for County Commissioner. We have watched him long enough and close enough to know he is conscientious and energetic in trying to create the best future for Columbia County. We have found him to be honest and straightforward in his relationships with his constituents. While we don’t agree on some matters, he will listen thoughtfully and, we believe, change directions when he finds that the evidence is sufficient to do so. Columbia County has been struggling to improve its financial base with the decline in federal timber revenues. There are no easy answers. In these times, Henry Heimuller’s experience, energy, and competence make him the best choice in this election. Chip and Nancy Bubl Warren Judge Martwick lives in Columbia County The rumor that Judge Jean Martwick doesn’t live in Columbia County is false! She has lived here for years, and paid Columbia County property taxes for over 10 years. I have been to her house, where she has a great livable spot for her son, a disabled veteran, who she has cared for over 20 years. I have even been to her house in Scappoose to jump her car battery so she could get to work on time. So to all those who believe in this false rumor, I invite you to learn more about Judge Martwick at www.judgejeanmartwick. org , it literally reads like an Horatio Alger Jr. story with all of the initiative, persistence, pluck; her trajectory of waitress to judge with three children in tow is revealed! Cliff Bauer Scappoose

Viewpoint We need the jail As sheriff, I truly hope that all the preparations we have been making to close our jail will not be needed. This exercise has truly been a painful, humbling experience for me and the dedicated staff in our jail. Though it is only one aspect of the job, it remains a very important tool for solving local criminal justice problems that occur daily in our county. If and when we send the last inmate out of our facility, it will be a sad day for me, and one that I never pictured for our county when I first decided to run for office in 2007. Being in law enforcement for over 25 years and seeing the terrible things people can sometimes do to others, I have always believed that I was a member of the “thin blue

line” that stood between civilized society and those who lived in defiance of society’s norms. I still believe, as did Sir Robert Peel in 1829, that “the police are the public and the public are the police; the police are the only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the intent of the community welfare.” In other words, I have always believed the vast majority of people are on our side and are pulling for us to succeed on their behalf. I still believe that is true, but it leaves me wondering just where we have gone wrong in communication or actions that have caused too many good citizens to not value the concept of having a

lockup to hold those who defiantly break our laws and threaten the public peace. I do understand there is a tremendous distrust of government, and that law enforcement has not always lived up to the lofty ideal rightfully expected of us. I know also, though, that people still dial 9-1-1 and are glad when we respond to the call—and that there is a certain amount of frustration out there (particularly with a severely diminished sheriff’s office) when we don’t show up soon enough for the liking of some. We’ve all heard the saying, “There’s never a cop around when you need one.” I hope we’re not all saying soon that “There’s never a jail around when you need one, either.” Sheriff Jeff Dickerson

RECOVERY: City has no grounds to close recovery house From PAGE A1 have housing. Up to this point, this organization, Iron Tribe, has not requested any reasonable accommodations, though they are within their legal rights to do so.” “… The exact remedies depend on, somewhat, if a request is made and what that specific request is,” he later added. “But the Fair Housing Act does restrict the ability for the city to regulate housing for the disabled.” Harold Cubbedge, executive director of Iron Tribe, has said that the home would not house sex offenders, just people who are either in outpatient treatment or have completed treatment and are in transition to become self-sustaining, productive members of society. The house would allow the residents to reunite with their children and live as a family while the parents find employment, save money and eventually find their own permanent housing. The average resident stays in the staffed house six to 12 months. Varricchione’s findings also determined that since Iron Tribe is a non-profit organization, it is exempt from needing a business license. As for the construction that was done to create office space inside the house, building inspector Don Sallee said a building permit was issued after construction began. Sallee said he has reviewed the completed work and stated that no one is currently living at the house. Protest from the audience suggested that someone is indeed living in the home. Some citizens expressed dissatisfaction with Varricchione’s findings, citing concerns about who would be residing in the house, as well as how many would be living at the house. The planner said, “I would echo a warning from the city attorney that was issued last week: be cautious about discussing specific locations. The discussions of the city council, with

respect to specific locations, could potentially prejudice land use approval processes. If any hearings are placed in front of the city council, you will need to disclose ex parte contact and provide an opportunity for applicants to object to your impartiality at that time.” “Do they have to have jobs?” asked resident Tari Semmler, who felt the home would be better suited for Beaverton or Portland. “Are they going to look for jobs in Scappoose? Is that part of the living there kind of deal?” “I’d like to know if they’re going to look for a job, what are they doing?” she continued. “I’d like to know because I live

just a few houses down. I have to put new doors up … because I don’t want the people in my home, you know? We need a heads up. We live on JP West Road. The bridge is going down, so that means those people have no transportation all the way around. They may have a van, but how many people are going to live in the house? “I’d like to know, I really would. I’ve got a lot of doors I’ve got to change because we were built in the ‘60s; they didn’t put normal doors on … I’m worried because of my property.” Neighbor Pat Anderson explained, “What we were told a month ago when this all started was that there would be 14 to 16

people. Then a week later, we were told it was going to be a single family or maybe a combination of two families, which as far as I’m concerned, then that changed the whole perspective of things. Then the meeting last week, they didn’t say one single family, they didn’t say a combination of two small families. It was back up to the 10 or 14 people.” Semmler asked if residents’ significant others would be visiting or living at the house. Varricchione said the home’s residents, which are expected to be two mothers with one child each, would be approved and assigned by DHS. The city planner further

explained why the proposal is allowed in an area zoned for single-family residences. “The city defines a family as an individual or two or more persons related by genetics, adoption or marriage or a group of five or fewer persons excluding domestic employees who are not related by genetics, adoption or marriage,” Varricchione said. “Based on that definition, if the Iron Tribe organization were to have five or fewer residents in any location in the city, that would fall under the city’s definition of a family, and would be an outright permitted use.” City Attorney Shelby Rihala noted that the limitation to five people is not an

According to the city planner, if Iron Tribe were to have more than five residents in the home, the organization would be required to have permission from the city, whether through a variance, an authorization classifying the recovery home as being similar to the uses already allowed in that zone, or an amendment to the development code. Mayor Scott Burge added that if there were an appeal, it would be presented to the Planning Commission, which would require a public hearing and notification to neighbors living within a 300-foot radius of the property.

WRECKS: Rash of accidents hit Hwy 30 From PAGE A1 witnesses said Holcomb may have fallen asleep prior to the collision. Highway 30 was closed to traffic for about an hour while rescuers removed Holcomb and Lifeflight landed on the highway. A collision between a rental truck and an Oregon Dept. of Transportation truck closed Highway 30 near Clatskanie on May 1. According to Oregon State Police reports, about 8:30 a.m. an ODOT maintenance support truck was following an ODOT sweeper in the eastbound lane about 4 miles east of Clatskanie at milepost 58. A 2012 Ford Budget rental truck pulling a trailer loaded with a car, collided with the maintenance truck. An Astoria resident, Kristen Herup, 45, was trapped inside the rental truck for about 30 minutes until Clatskanie Rural Fire District personnel freed her. The 29-year old driver of the rental truck, Matthew Hendrickson of Boise, ID and Herup were transported to Peace Health in Longview. The driver suffered minor injuries and the passenger suffered non-life threatening injuries. The ODOT employee, Winona Pranghofer, 60, of Rainier was also transported to the same hospital with minor injuries. On May 5, two vehicles collided at the intersection of Old Portland Road and Highway 30 in Warren. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in that accident, however, the two vehicles suffered substantial damage. The intersection has been the subject of traffic studies, but remains the scene of numerous crashes.

Columbia River Floor Covering celebrates milestone BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net

Traffic crawled through Rainier during the summer of 1966. Portlanders eagerly headed to the beach and an opportunity to travel across the new Astoria-Megler bridge, which opened in July. Traffic crawled along the tummy-twisting turns of old Highway 30 between Rainier and Clatskanie, often catching a glimpse of the marvelous new fourlane roadway under construction. Record-breaking crowds jammed the city over the weekend for the annual Rainier Daze celebration and then Governor Mark Hatfield attended the dedication ceremonies at a new Shell fertilizer plant in Deer Island. Perhaps missed during those heady days of 1966 was the opening of a new carpet and floor-covering store in a weathered wood building on Rainier’s waterfront. That store, however, has grown into a regional powerhouse in the floor-covering business, with annual sales in the millions. LeRoy Nelson started his business, Columbia River Floor Covering, when he decided he couldn’t make enough in his job as a teacher and coach to raise his family in Rainier. In 1972 the business moved to its current location, a former Western Auto store on Highway 30. The Nelson family celebrates their 48th year in business this year. Nelson now works part-time and has turned the day-to-day operation over to his son, Scott. Scott Nelson started working in the family business during the 1970s, while he was still in school. He installed carpet for 15 years before moving into sales and then management. He is now part owner. Scott’s mom, Carolyn still plays an active part,

running the office and overseeing the books. The firm has hired over 100 people in the last 48 years and many of them stay on as long-time employees. Two installers have been with the company over 38 years. A lot of them are now retired. “The reason we are successful,” says LeRoy Nelson, “ is we take care of our customers.” Nelson says during his first year in business he did $365,000 in sales. His best year was 2005 when sales topped $5 million. “We’re going in the right direction,” he quips. Big box retailers, Home

Depot and Lowes have siphoned off business, he says, but they are still a dominant supplier in northern Oregon and southern Washington counties. Nelson feels his years as a coach, he coached football and basketball for eight years, has helped him succeed in business. “Running a business and coaching are similar,” he says. “You’re getting people to work together as a team.” He also feels good customer service has played a crucial role in the success of his business. “We take care of our customers,” he says. “We sell a good product and we stand behind it.”

It wasn’t without a few nails bitten, but the sixth-ranked Scappoose Indians (15-4, 8-1) managed to take sole possession of first place in the Cowapa League with a May 2 win over the Astoria Fishermen (10-5, 7-2). The teams entered their game tied for the league lead. Throughout the game, it stayed as close as one could expect. Entering the seventh inning, they were tied 2-2. A leadoff double from Scappoose senior Hunter Hoyt sparked a four-run inning for the Indians, giving the Tribe a comfortable 6-2 lead. In the bottom of the frame, however, the Fishermen had back-to-back singles. Those two singles turned into runs and Astoria eventually loaded the bases with two outs before Scappoose senior pitcher Will Sprute got Astoria’s cleanup hitter to fly out to right field. The Indians held on for a 6-4 win. Scappoose got on the scoreboard first with a pair of runs in the top of the third inning. Junior Justin Hering led off the frame with a walk – one of 10 free passes issued by Fishermen pitchers. After junior Wyatt Patton reached on error, Hoyt walked to load the bases with one out. Senior Kyler Mizee then hit a two-run single that scored both Hering and Patton. Astoria tied the game in the bottom of the fourth, using a leadoff double and a pair of groundouts to get the first run. The second run came in on a walk, a single and an error. After Hoyt doubled to lead off the seventh, Mizee was hit by a pitch and Sprute was walked. Junior Steven Johnson drew a basesloaded walk to score Hoyt. Junior Robby Backus kept the rally alive with an RBI single to right field. Senior Sam Margheim doubled to left field, driving in two more runs to give the Indians a 6-2 lead. In the bottom of the seventh, Margheim fittingly caught the final fly ball to ice the 6-4 win. Hoyt finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate. Mizee and Margheim had two RBIs each. The teams played again in Scappoose on May 6. Earlier in the week, Scappoose took two games from the Seaside Seagulls (2-14, 1-8).

Crusaders are third entering state SCAPPOOSE — The Columbia County Crusaders girls rugby team held on down the stretch to take a 26-24 win over North Clackamas on May 3. Columbia County scored three straight tries to start the second half, the last of which came on a long run from Victoria Horecky. The home team appeared in control of the match, but North Clackamas answered with a score of its own, then made it back-to-back tries for the visiting team with another score shortly after. With its back up against its own goal line and North Clackamas on the offensive, Columbia County forced a turnover with about a minute to go in the match. From there the Crusaders were able to hold on for the victory. Columbia County finished the regular season in third place in the 12-team league. Columbia County will play the Lady Barbarians from Beaverton at 9 a.m. on May 10 at Delta Park in Portland in the first round of the 2014 state tournament. The winner will advance

SHS senior breaks 3 records in 1st event SHERWOOD — Scappoose High School senior Michael Herbst set three Oregon state records at the POW Olympic Lifting Meet on May 3. Herbst set records in the snatch, clean and jerk, and overall total weight. The SHS senior snatched 82 kilograms (181 pounds). He lifted 106 kilograms in the clean and jerk (234 pounds). That gave him an overall total of 188 kilograms (415 pounds). Those lifts broke the records for the 62-kilogram (137-pound) weight class in his age group set by Travis Joseph in 1999. Herbst won all three events with his record-breaking marks in just his first sanctioned event.

Also competing at the event was recent SHS graduate Jassa Gunn, who finished second in her weight class with a snatch of 68 kilograms (150 pounds) and clean and jerk of 84 kilograms (185 pounds). Both lifters qualified for the Oregon State Championships in June at the University of Oregon. SHS strength and conditioning coach Joe Nowlin said the state championships take the 15 best male and 15 best female lifters in the state regardless of age. They qualify for the championships based on their Sinclair Coefficient, a formula based on how much an athlete lifts in relation to their body weight. – By Kyle Boggs

But there were a few stretches of hot days where the night temps stayed near 80 degrees. That can disrupt the ripening cycle. And there are varietal differences in how tomatoes individually respond to heat. Finally, if watering is uneven, the root development may ramp up to compensate, again shorting the sugars that are sent to the fruit. • Excess nitrogen fertilizer, especially applied after early July, can cause the plant to become more vegetative and produce fewer have smoothed this problem flowers and divert its sugars to more stems and foliage out.

Tribe takes three blowouts Lion boys beat Mustangs There were plenty of offensive fireworks for the Scappoose Indians (11-7, 5-4) last week. The Tribe won all three of its games, outscoring its opponents a combined 34-5. Scappoose beat Astoria (9-9, 3-4) 10-1 on April 29. The Indians followed that performance by sweeping both ends of a May 2 doubleheader against the Tillamook Cheesemakers (7-9, 2-5). Scappoose won the first game 8-0 and took a 16-4 victory in the nightcap. Senior Lexi Courtney tripled her second time to the plate against the Fishermen, then blasted a double her next time up. She scored two runs in the game. Freshman Nicole Lukinbeal was 2-for2 at the plate with three runs scored. Sophomore Sage Harrison and senior Shelbie Butler both drove in a pair of runs. Senior Lacey Updike and freshman Julia Ferguson split pitching duties. Updike struck out four batters in three innings of work. Ferguson earned the save by allowing only two hits in the final four innings. Courtney continued her offensive assault against

MILWAUKIE — Behind a sterling performance from senior Thomas Hughes, the St. Helens Lions boys track and field team beat Milwaukie and Portland Waldorf during an April 30 meet. Hughes won the 110-meter high hurdles and the 300-meter intermediate hurdles while also running legs on St. Helens’ two winning relay teams. The Lions racked up 78 points to win the competition. Milwaukie scored 55; Portland Waldorf finished with 12. Hughes, sophomore Bryce Bumgardner, sophomore Nate Funk and senior Tanner Long won by the narrowest of margins in the 4x100 relay – finishing onehundredth of a second ahead of Milwaukie. Hughes ran the 110 hurdles in 15.84 seconds and the 300 hurdles in a time of

41.45 seconds. Long and senior Kamaron Ebrahimi gave the Lions a 1-2 finish in the 200 meters. Senior Bryan Strang and Portland Waldorf freshman Izaak King both crossed the finish line in 4:34.80 to tie for first in the 1,500. A trio of Lion boys combined for a sweep of the throwing events. Senior Jacob Zartman won the shot put with a throw of 47-6. Senior Corey West won the discus, throwing 137-0. Zartman was second in that event. Freshman Richard Sass won the javelin with a throw of 137-9. Junior Jesse Vanderwall won the pole vault by clearing 12 feet. The Mustang girls topped the Lions, 70-53. Portland Waldorf scored 22 points in the girls’ competition. St. Helens’ team of senior Nicole Harcourt, senior Ky-

SCAPPOOSE: approaches girls’ school record, too From PAGE B1 Sophomore Eleanor Jones ended up 26th out of 45 competitors in the 100-meter hurdles. She crossed the finish line in 16.93 seconds. The Indians’ team of Davidson, Jones, senior Abby Kessi and senior Haley Wight edged closer to the school record in the girls’ 4x400 relay. They finished 19th out of 28 schools with a time of 4:10.71 — two seconds off the 2012 team’s record time. Jones, Wight and seniors Nicole Andreotti and Alix Raya ran the Tribe’s fastest time in the 4x100 relay this season, finishing in 52.39 seconds. Senior Kenny Klippel gave the Indians a strong

presence in the throwing events. He took seventh place in the discus with a personal-best throw of 14911 and was 19th in the shot put with a throw of 45-2.5. “Kenny had a good pair of throws,” Harley said. Scappoose will host Astoria and Tillamook in a league event starting at 3:30 p.m. on May 7. Scappoose then goes to Cottage Grove for the Wally Ciochetti Invitational on May 9. Field events will start at 2 p.m. and running events start at 5 p.m. These are the last two events prior to the Cowapa League Championships, which means the Indians will begin tapering their practice workouts so they’re fresh for the championship portion of the season.

Walk-off hit snaps St. Helens’ skid Junior pitcher Ryne Poorman held the Wilsonville Wildcats (10-10, 8-4) to just one hit through the first six innings on May 2. The Wildcats turned that one hit – a triple from Tanner Crooks to lead off the top of the second – into a run on a groundout. The St. Helens Lions (6-13, 4-8) responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, then added another in the bottom of the fifth to take a 3-1 lead. In the top of the seventh though, Crooks struck again. This time he sent a one-out pitch just over the left-field fence for a two-run home run that tied the game. The homer sent SHHS senior left fielder Noah Weitzel crashing head-first into the fence as he nearly pulled the ball back into the field of play. Prior to Crooks’ home run, Poorman had retired 16 straight Wildcat batters. St. Helens senior Adam Spencer walked to lead off the bottom of the seventh. A sacrifice bunt from senior Josh Keller moved him to second. With one out, senior Tyler Stangland stung a ground ball past the shortstop and Spencer was able to score the game-winner. It was the second RBI of the game for Stangland, who had a sacrifice fly in the

bottom of the fifth inning that also brought Spencer in to score. Junior Brody Takemoto had an RBI single in the fourth inning. The win snapped a sevengame losing streak for the Lions. That stretch included the two previous games against the Wildcats. In the first of their threegame set, Wilsonville scored five runs in the top of the seventh to ice the game. The Lions were trailing 2-0 in the fifth when sophomore Bryce Mulcahy

doubled on the first pitch of the inning. Junior Bryson Takemoto drove Mulcahy home with a base hit to center field. On April 30, the Lions took an early 2-0 lead, but the Wildcats scored four runs in the bottom of the third and four more in the bottom of the sixth to take an 8-3 win. St. Helens threatened to start the game with a wider lead. The Lions loaded the bases in the top of the second, then scored their first run on a sacrifice fly from

sophomore Quintin Galvin. A walk reloaded the bases, then Spencer hit another fly ball to center field. St. Helens again tried tagging up, but Wilsonville was able to pick the runner off at the plate. Keller led off the top of the third inning with a double. He moved to third on a wild pitch before scoring on a groundout from Stangland. A walk and a single put two runners on base with one out in the third. But Wilsonville picked a runner off of second base and got a strikeout to kill the rally. After the Wildcats pushed across four runs in the third, the Lions had a hard time responding. St. Helens had only one more runner reach second base before the seventh. In the last inning, Keller started a two-out rally by drawing a walk. He came around to score on a double from Stangland. Keller finished the game 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Stangland had two RBIs. St. Helens has a threegame series against the Liberty Falcons (7-14, 5-7) this week. The teams played at Liberty High School on May 6 and will be back there on May 9. They play in St. Helens on May 7. All games start at 4:30 p.m.

Roark gets ace in practice Jordan Roark of St. Helens made a hole-in-one at Wildwood Golf Course on May 1. Roark, a sophomore on the St. Helens High School golf team, made the holein-one on the 122-yard, par-three sixth hole at Wildwood. He used a pitching wedge to make the shot. Jordan Roark Roark was in the middle of a practice round with his the shot. It is the first ace he teammates when he made has recorded.

SHHS: important games this week From PAGE B1 lowered her already microscopic ERA to 0.39 in league games. Alyssa Giesbers gave the team some punch at the plate. She was 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI. St. Helens has three games this week, two of which could go a long way toward determining how the NWOC standings shake out. St. Helens hosted the Liberty Falcons (16-4, 5-3) on May 6. Liberty is the fourthplace team in the league, but is also ranked fourth in the OSAA Power Rankings. On May 7, St. Helens takes on the state’s topranked team, the Sandy

Pioneers (15-5, 6-2). Sandy is coming off a 3-1 loss to Putnam that bumped the Pioneers out of a tie with the Lions for the league lead. Sandy capitalized on three St. Helens errors in the ninth inning to take a 2-1 win earlier this season. “As long as we keep hitting like we have been we should be in a better position going into that last inning. I know the girls are hungry for this win, and they want to take it all the way to the top,” Little said. St. Helens closes the week at home against Wilsonville (5-15, 3-5) at 5 p.m. on May 9.

Lions on the verge of state tourney berth Behind one of the best performances from a St. Helens High School boys golf team, the Lions inched their way closer to earning a trip to the 2014 OSAA 5A State Championship Tournament. On May 5, the Lions took second place at a Northwest Oregon Conference tournament behind the Sherwood Bowmen. Sherwood won with a score of 282 on the par-70 course at Waverley Country Club; St. Helens finished at 315. SHHS coach

Dave Lawrence said he believes that is the lowest cumulative score the Lions have had during his tenure as coach. Wilsonville finished in third place, 13 strokes back of St. Helens. The Lions now maintain a two-point lead on the Wildcats entering the NWOC Championship Meet May 12-13 at The Reserve. “It’s all coming down to next week, and we’ve played well at The Reserve,” Lawrence said.

Points are worth extra at the district tournament, so the Lions will have to finish ahead of the Wildcats to earn a trip to state. The top two teams in the conference advance to the state tournament. “We gotta beat them again next week,” Lawrence said. This week they did so by having three golfers shoot in the 70s. Senior Eric Aldridge led the way with a 76. Seniors Cody Teyema and Michael Hewlett both

finished with 79s. “Eric and Cody are kind of finding their game a little bit,” Lawrence said. Junior Jacob Roxey shot an 81 to round out the Lions’ team score.

I Support Measure 5-238 One of the candidates is proposing an additional tax on the aggregate industry as a way to fund the jail. We need to support the jail levy Measure 5-238 now! For an additional tax on the aggregate industry to happen, we will be well into 2015 before the first tax could even be collected. The jail will have closed, the funding we receive for bed rental will have gone away and the restart up costs and training will be expensive. Without Federal and State funds, operating the jail will be way more expensive in the future. We already tax the aggregate industry and those dollars go to road repair. For this to happen we would have to change an ordinance and add an ordinance, both taking a vote of the people and approval of two of the County Commissioners. We would have to debate whether the aggregate industry could withstand an additional tax without loss of jobs, as this industry is extremely competitive already, and whether we rob dollars from the roads to pay for the jail? Roads are already underfunded.

I support Measure 5-238 for my family, my home and my business. I just left for a weekend trip and was worried the entire time that someone would break into my house and steal my stuff while I was gone. WHY? Because criminals are not locked up. My business in the last year has experienced car break-ins while employees are working the night shift, theft out of our backyard of scrap and finished product, identity theft and check fraud. My brother’s house has been broken into, my neighbor’s houses have been broken into. Enough is enough! Criminals need to be in jail. Paid for by Pacific Stainless Products, Jeff Kemp, President
