Kennel proposal fetches opposition
13 Nights on the River
BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com
ST. HELENS — It was standing-room only at the Columbia County Commissioner’s meeting on June 4 as the board held a public hearing to consider a conditional use permit that would allow the owners of a local dog boarding business to build a kennel facility in Scappoose. Todd and Liana Viken, who operate Hug-A-Bubba’s Doggie Daycare and Grooming in Beaverton, are requesting a conditional use permit application to build and operate a commercial dog kennel as a type II home occupation in the Rural Residental (RR-5) zone. According to Columbia County chief planner Glen Higgins, the Vikens application proposes to build a 4,000 square-foot kennel structure to house 15 dogs in the back yard area of their 5.34-acre property at 55501 Columbia River Highway in Scappoose. Since 2010, the Vikens have operated a 12-dog kennel in their basement. The dogs are delivered by a kennel shuttle and utilize a halfacre play area in the northeast corner of the property. (In 2008, the commissioners denied the Vikens request to construct a 4,600 square-foot building for a 30-dog kennel with two outdoor exercise yards.) Higgins noted that the county’s conditions of approval require that: the kennel site meet the minimum setback requirement of 100 feet; the business operate Monday through Saturday; the dogs be transported via a kennel truck; only four dogs at a time be allowed out in the contained play area in 45-minute increments; and the dogs be kept indoors between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. Since the Vikens proposal met all existing criteria, Higgins said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the application See KENNEL, Page A3

DON PATTERSON / The Chronicle
Columbia View Park was filled to capacity on June 5 for the opening night of the popular concert series, 13 Nights on the River.
‘Journey’ opens for 13 Nights series Under clear skies and with nearly perfect temperatures, Thirteen Nights on the River opened in St. Helens on June 5. What organizers called the largest crowd ever packed Columbia View Park to hear Stone in Love, a tribute group to the popular rock band, Journey. “It was organized chaos,”
was how Thirteen Nights director, Christina Sullivan described the event. Attendees jammed the beer garden and stood in long lines at the vendor booths. She estimated the crowd at well over 5,000. The beer garden ran out of beer. Inconveniences caused
by the larger than expected crowd did little to dampen the mood of the concertgoers or the volunteer staff, said Sullivan. As a fundraising event, the concert broke even, Sullivan said. Her goal is to cover the costs of each concert with the proceeds collected that night from
vendor rentals, beer sales and donations. “It will help us coast through the season,” she observed. Sullivan said her biggest challenge remains having enough volunteers. The concert series begins its 10th year and has grown from a small gathering of
mainly jazz enthusiasts to a regionally popular summer event drawing thousands to St. Helens’ historic riverfront. Thirteen Nights is in need of volunteers to help put on the concerts. If you’d like to help, please email Christina.13nights@gmail. com.
Course offered on suicide prevention Reward BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com
ST. HELENS — In an effort to save lives and offer hope to a community healing from tragedy, the public is invited to attend a free course to learn more about suicide intervention and prevention. On June 24 at 4 p.m., a “Question, Persuade, Refer” (QPR) training will be held at that Columbia Theatre, 212 S. First Street in St. Helens. The class is free to attend and is expected to last 90 minutes. Participants can sign up by e-mailing orsp2014@ gmail.com. While the course is not meant to replace mental health counseling, the tools learned from QPR are considered to be the CPR of suicide intervention, providing the very basics of how to get someone the help that they need. “Nobody likes to talk about suicide,” explains suicide prevention and intervention trainer Lindsey King. “It has a very ugly stigma because it’s incurable. It’s incurable if someone follows through the act and completes. For
every person that completes suicide, there is at least six immediate survivors. Survivor of suicide is a family member, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, a loved one, teachers, those that are all affected by a suicide. Then those people become at higher risk of possibly attempting or becoming suicidal because they don’t understand why this person could not see how many people loved and cared about them.” Although it is a topic that can be uncomfortable to talk about, King adds,
“You never keep someone who’s at risk of suicide to yourself — you’ve got to tell somebody because you’re saving someone’s life. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.” King explains, “There’s one suicide in every 14 minutes in the United States. Now if you do the math, there’s one suicide every 14 minutes and six survivors to every one. That’s a lot of people. … They are now at risk, they’re hurting, they don’t understand, and they feel
guilt. ‘Well if I would’ve done this, if I would’ve done that.’” During the QPR training, participants will learn: the signs to tell if a person is at risk of suicide; ways to ask someone if they are thinking about suicide; and how to intervene and assist them in finding the help they need. King says environmental factors — such as the loss of a job or a loved one, the fear of failing, or the fear of imprisonment — can cause someone to feel like they have no other option. Mental health conditions can also lead someone to think they have no way out. King adds that bullying is becoming a much more common trigger. “Bullying really can push someone over the edge, especially teens,” explains King, who is also the director of CASA for Kids, Inc. “They’re already selfconscious, they’re already trying to fit in. They’re not quite an adult, but they’re not quite a kid anymore. They’re in that gray fuzzy area — we’ve all been there as adults — trying to find their own group of friends. See SUICIDE, Page A3
offered in burglary cases
Law enforcement in Columbia County and St. Helens turned up the heat on residential burglars plaguing the area by offering a reward for information leading to the arrest of the thieves. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for a credible lead that results in the criminals being caught and successfully prosecuted according to Sheriff Jeff Dickerson. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and the St. Helens Police Department are offering the reward jointly through the Columbia Enforcement Narcotics Team, Dickerson said. Residential thefts and burglaries have plagued parts of St. Helens and the unincorporated county around the city since April. Investigators believe the thefts are related. The burglars usually strike during the day at homes that appear unoccupied. Anyone with information should contact Sgt. Phil Edwards of the St. Helens Police Department at 503-397-3333 or Lenard Olsen of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office at 503-366-4611.
Columbia River PUD names 2014 My Fair Lady court
Columbia River People’s Utility District has announced the members of the 2014 My Fair Lady Court. This year’s My Fair Lady princesses are: Donna Worley, representing Scappoose; Charleen Pruett, representing Clatskanie; Rachel Kelley, representing Rainier; Barbra Bynoe, representing St. Helens; and Katharine Denckla, representing Vernonia. Worley was born and raised in Salem, Ore., and moved to Columbia County in 1981. She was a very busy wife and mother, raising three children, working as a Tupperware consultant and taking classes to complete her college degree. After 44 years of school, Worley is proud to say she is a
Washington State University graduate. She stays busy with nine grandchildren, volunteering to teach Sunday School for the Catholic Church, and volunteering at the Scappoose Food Bank. Worley was also a volunteer Ombudsman for Columbia County. Her hobbies also include quilting and reading. Pruett was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. After completing her nursing degree, she had the opportunity to live in Texas and South Korea as an Army nurse, settling in Columbia County in 1991. As a busy mother of three, she balanced raising her family with caring for the health needs of those in her community. Pruett has a long history of volunteer-
ing; currently she volunteers for her church, the Public Health Foundation, Medical Reserve Corp of Columbia County and Kiwanis Club of Clatskanie. When she is not volunteering, her interests include photography, crocheting, gardening, reading, and buying and selling on E-bay. Kelley was born and raised in Morrisville, Vt., moving to Columbia County in 2005. Rachel and her husband of 34 years have raised six children together and have provided a loving home for 100 or more foster children. The dedication and caring she has given to her foster children earned her and her husband Foster See COURT, Page A2

COURT: Senior women honored for volunteerism From PAGE A1 Parents of the Year in 1995. In addition to spending time with her family, including five grandchildren and one greatgrandchild on the way, Kelley enjoys gardening, camping, ATV riding and needle crafts. Some of her most treasured memories are family gatherings, watching the children and grandchildren grow and of course — marrying her husband. Bynoe was born in Portland and raised in Seattle, Wash., moving to Columbia County in 2007. She is married and has two sons and two grandsons. Although she has held several jobs, Bynoe finds the most joy and fulfillment in volunteering. She has taught Sunday School for the last 30 years and currently volunteers at Top Notch Senior Thrift Store. When she is not volunteering, she enjoys puzzles, traveling and being with her family. Her most treasured memories include the birth of her sons and when her grandson says, “I love you.” Denckla was born in Seattle, Wash., and moved to Columbia County in 1979. She is very busy volunteering with Columbia 911 Communication District, spending time with her seven children, 11 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. After losing her husband of 43 years, she is fortunate to have met a lovely, funny and caring man to be part of her life. When not busy volunteering and spending time with family, Denckla likes to read, camp, travel, bike and garden. Although, she is ready to trade gardening in on a new hobby! The My Fair Lady Pageant is held during the Columbia County Fair each year to recognize senior women for their outstanding service in our community. This year’s pageant will be held on the opening day of the fair, July 16, at 1 p.m. The PUD, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, Columbia River Fire and Rescue, and Northwest Apparel are co-sponsors of this year’s pageant.
Fire Season
Approaches! Wind spreads slash fire near Scappoose

A fire in logging slash got out of control and burned about a quarter acre near Scappoose on June 4. Scappoose Fire District personnel responded to a natural cover fire at 50560 Wild Woodland Drive. When the first engine arrived, firefighters discovered several logging slash piles burning and spreading to several more spot fires. The resident stated he had started burning one 25 foot in diameter pile when a sudden wind gust spread embers over the entire area. He then tried to extinguish them, but did not have a water source that would reach the fire. The residence was about 300 feet away and the path from the home to the fires was not navigable by the fire engines. Scappoose Fire District responded with three engines, a water tender, one support vehicle and 10 personnel. Oregon Department of Forestry assisted with one vehicle and personnel. A spokesperson for Scappoose Fire District said they did not consider this backyard burning and did not issue a permit for the fire. Permits for land clearing or logging slash burning are issued by ODF. The resident claimed he had a valid permit for the burn from the ODF.
Recount scheduled for county commissioner race COLUMBIA COUNTY — Just when she expected to have all of the May 20 primary ballots certified, Columbia County Elections Supervisor Pam Benham announced Tuesday that ballots will be recounted to ensure accuracy in the nearly neck-and-neck race for county commissioner position 2. Currently, the tallies show Heimuller with 5,360
votes, or 49.84 percent, and Mayo with 5,300 votes for 49.28 percent. Benham said the recount is scheduled to start Monday at 9 a.m., and will hopefully be completed in two days. “We will have the boards come back in and we’ll do a precinct at a time, stack them up into five stacks — the two candidates, writeins, under votes and over
votes — and count them by hand to make sure that is what the machine counted,” she explained. Benham said that in the past, the hand count results matched the machine results, but it is possible for a vote to be dismissed if the mark on the ballot is too light for the machine to detect. For now, the only local contested race advancing
to the Nov. 4 election is that of Jean Martwick and Cathleen Callahan, who are vying for circuit court judge position 1. The final tally for circuit court judge shows Martwick with 3,702 votes, or 37.68 percent. Callahan received 3,574 votes, or 36.37 percent. Jason Heym received 2,430 votes for 24.73 percent. The final numbers for the
Columbia County Jail levy show 6,056 votes in favor, or 51.26 percent. The levy had 5,759 “no” votes for 48.74 percent. Voters turned down Columbia River Fire & Rescue’s proposed $15 million general obligation bond for equipment and station upgrades with 3,366 “no” votes (50.31 percent) and 3,324 “yes” votes (49.69 percent).

KENNEL: Residents voice opposition to proposed kennel From PAGE A1 as the board did not feel the Vikens request would preclude neighbors from using their properties as intended. Liana Viken said that in the two years she has been in business in Scappoose and the 10 years she has been in business in Beaverton, she has not received one complaint about noise or cleanliness. Citizens supporting the Vikens application described their facilities as being quiet and clean, as well as an added tax revenue source for the county. Columbia City resident Blair Walter said, “I think it’s important for businesses to be able to do business and do business within the scope of what the regulations or
laws are set out for them … I don’t see why this should be that big of a deal, it’s just somebody asking to do business as they’re allowed to, by law, on their property.” Opponents of the kennel expansion appealed to the commissioners and asked them to deny the application. Those who spoke expressed concern about possible noise issues, pet owners getting into accidents on Highway 30 when going to or from the facility, and potentially setting precedent by allowing a commercial structure to be constructed in a rural residential area. George and Debbie Benz, neighbors to the property, said they brought around a petition and gathered 93 signatures from residents who opposed the expansion.
George Benz stated that if the county allows the Vikens to build the kennel, they would be faced with a “totally different environment than what we’ve lived with for the last three years.” Liana Viken noted that most of the citizens who oppose their application live 900 feet away, but Todd Viken said they play to plant foliage along the north and west fence lines to minimize any potential noise issues. The commissioners plan to deliberate the Vikens request at the June 18 meeting. In other business, commissioners held a public hearing on the Columbia County fiscal year 2013-14 supplemental budget and approved authorization of supplemental budget appropriations, contingency trans-
fers and interfund transfers for fiscal year 2013-2014. The board also established a furlough schedule for fiscal year 2014-15; approved a resolution adopting the 2014-15 Columbia County Department of Community Justice Adult Division Plan; amended an intergovernmental agreement with Portland Community College; approved a public road event permit and indemnity agreement for the Rainier Road Race; and amended the intergovernmental contract for professional services with the Oregon Department of Education. The commissioners appointed Eddia Cook and Joel Haugen to the ScappooseSpitzenberg CPAC. Jeff Dickerson, commissioner Tony Hyde, Steve
Atchison, Judge Ted Grove, Jodi Gartman, Janet Evan, Terry Moss, Yvette Shepherd, Stacia Tyacke, Linda Hald, Cathy Baird, Mike Elsasser, Judge Jean Martwick and Paul Aubry were appointed to the Local Public Safety Coordinating Council for three-year terms. The board also made the following appointments to the Homeland Security Emergency Management Commission for one-year terms: Jeanine Dilley, Leahnette Rivers, Dan Brown, Doug Paxton, Patrick Trapp, Cynthia Jaeger, and alternates Steve Watson, John Walsh, Doug Lents, Paula Miranda and Lloyd Hartley. During public comment, St. Helens resident Annie Christensen said she felt the
citizens of Columbia County are being excluded from the public process regarding the port’s regionally significant industrial area application, a process laid out through SB 766. Christensen asked the board to hold a public hearing before supporting the application. Paulette Lichatowich, of Columbia City, agreed and asked county counsel to provide the public with an independent analysis and written report regarding SB 766 and the regionally significant industrial area designation. Danner Christensen, of St. Helens, shared his concerns about lifting the ban on crude oil exports and how it would affect quality of life, property values and businesses in the county.
SUICIDE: ‘Question, Persuade, Refer’ program hopes to curb suicides From PAGE A1 And bullying really has a huge play in how people feel about themselves. Because you can only be told so many times that you’re ugly, or you’re terrible, or you’re this or you’re that, before you start to believe it. And I’ve seen bullying get to the extreme of ‘Just go kill yourself, you’d be better off dead.’ And pretty soon they start to believe that.” In the past, bullying consisted of a physical or verbal altercation, but King says today’s bullying includes social media, which can spread worldwide like wildfire. “Once those words are said or written or put out on social media site, they don’t go away. And once they’ve been read or interpreted or heard by the victim, they just don’t go away… words stick with you forever.” King says there is a noticeable pattern that is often observed in people who are
considering ending their life. During the span of a suicidal episode, a person may spiral downward and lose energy and then suddenly get a burst of energy before they make their attempt. “There’s this strange three-week window and there’s signs,” she explains. “One of the signs of someone who is putting their affairs in order is giving away their prized possessions, making last final phone calls to say ‘I love you’. There’s a lot of different things that are kind of preparing. There’s other signs where notes will be found.” King says it is important to structure questions carefully in order to get an honest answer that will reveal if a person does need help. According to the training materials, a question as simple as, “Have you thought about harming yourself?” can open up the lines of communication with a person in need of help, as well as lower their anxiety and lower the
risk of them committing an impulsive act. From there, one can offer assistance to find help, such as a counselor, a doctor, a hotline or Columbia Community Mental Health. King says the process to getting help can sometimes be a long process. “When they’ve hit a depression point so bad it’s like being inside of this big plastic bubble,” she explains. “And they can see all these people, but in their mind they think that everybody would be better off without them. And reaching through that bubble sometimes is really hard, especially if you’re not trained to do that. But getting them to commit to any kind of ray of hope, getting them to commit to seeking out the mental health professional, or a doctor, or a counselor at school or a teacher, gives that slight ray of hope and kind of starts to pull them out [of the bubble].” According to King, 90 percent of the time if a per-

son gets a referral to get help, everything turns out OK. “If they get the help that they need, they are less likely to attempt or complete later, and the reason for that is because they learn the signs and know when to get help and oftentimes will never become suicidal again.” King reports that Oregon ranks eighth in the nation for occurrence of suicides. According to the Oregon Public Health Division State Health Profile published by Oregon Health Authority in 2012, suicide is among the leading causes of death in our state and one of the leading contributors to premature mortality. Suicide rates in Oregon have consistently been higher than the U.S. rates for the past 30 years. In 2010 alone, there were 674 documented suicide deaths. “There is no discrimination with suicide,” King con-
firms. “It’s just like cancer, there’s no discrimination, whether you’re young, old, white, black, doesn’t matter. There’s no discrimination.” Despite the statistics King says suicide is one of the most preventable causes of death, which is why she feels it is crucial for society to become more observant in their daily lives. “Little statements like ‘I can’t go on anymore’ — those statements need to be taken very seriously. [Ask them] ‘Why can’t you go on? What’s going on in your life?’” she advises. King says sometimes all it takes for is some acknowledgement for a person to feel valued. “I had an attempter tell me one day that the reason why she decided to live was she got on an elevator and she had her entire plan made out, and there was a gentleman
that got on the elevator. And something as simple as smiling at her, telling her ‘Have a wonderful day, I hope to see you tomorrow’ was enough to keep her from completing her plan because somebody told her, ‘I hope I see you on the elevator tomorrow.’ Something so simple. That person had no clue as to what was going on in her life, but I hope that gave her just that edge to get back up and go to work that next day and get on that elevator, and get the help she needed and put her plan aside.” There are numerous resources that are available 24 hours a day to assist in times of crisis, such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-TALK), the Suicide Prevention Resource Center (877-4387772), and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (800-950-6264).

Letters Renters should stand their ground I am really concerned about the background/ credit fees that landlords are taking from renters. I know that this puts a real hardship on renters. And how are landlords protecting renters personal information? I believe that renters should be doing background/credit checks on landlords/property management companies to be sure that 1. Taxes are paid, 2. Mortgage is being paid on time. 3. Criminal history because renters have a right to know their landlord. 4. Credit because in my opinion if they have bad credit on over extended credit they probably won’t be able to fix or repair rental units in a timely manner. Also, find a way not to pay back deposits. 5. Would likely raise rent. I also believe that if a renter is going to pay rent or invest in

a landlord or property management company in a place to live renters should know who they are investing their money to and be sure that their rentals will be secure to live in and not in foreclosure!

Seeking evidence of public safety priorities BY DANNER CHRISTENSEN Envision Columbia County
Representing the concerns of the 64 members of Envision Columbia County (ECC), I addressed our three county commissioners during the “Public Comments” portion of their regular May 28, 2014 meeting. Judging by their comments quoted in the June 4, 2014, issue of The Chronicle, it would appear that county commissioners Earl Fisher and Henry Heimuller believed that I was accusing them personally of being insensitive to the importance of public safety relating to the oil trains and future industrial development here. Commissioner Fisher stated that he felt some of my remarks regarding the safety issue were “a disservice to every elected official in this county.” Commissioner
Heimuller concurred with his statements. Although not my intent, I can certainly understand how they might have felt that way. Their job is not one I would wish to have. A bewildering array of complex issues and problems cross their desks daily, each requiring extensive time to understand and evaluate. They must listen to the arguments from proponents and opponents on each issue. No matter what they do or decide, the job generates
an endless stream of citizen criticism, sometimes delivered with unwarranted and inappropriate vitriol. Given the job’s demands on their time, energy, and patience we taxpayers are certainly not overpaying them. I and 63 members of ECC are indeed concerned that public safety hasn’t appeared to receive the focus it deserves. We don’t contend that the commissioners or other public officials don’t care about the safety of people and property here. We base our concerns
upon objective evidence that we see or don’t see. For example, the commissioners had no control over the Port of St. Helens’ decision last fall to allow Global to double the number of Bakken crude oil trains it handles at Port Westward, a plan that created increased safety risks for all of our communities. County citizens, taxpayers and voters would have welcomed publicly-shared objective evidence that the commissioners recognized, understood,
and evaluated those public safety risks inherent in the Port’s decision. We would have welcomed seeing county commissioners’ agendas, meeting notes, or press releases that dealt with the safety risks of that decision. In The Chronicle article, we were very pleased to see the commissioners publicly, adamantly state that public safety is the true priority in all of their decisions. We encourage them to foster public confidence in their stated commitment

by publicizing their agendas, deliberations and concrete actions that showcase their commitment to our safety. Finally, if delivered in a respectful manner, any citizen’s desire to see concrete evidence of public officials’ stated priority to community safety is never a disservice to any elected or volunteer public official.

Norman Jones August 11, 1924 to June 1, 2014 Norman Jones passed away and joined his late wife Barbara on Sunday, June 1, 2014 after a brief illness. Norm was 89 years of age. Norman Jones Norm was born August 11, 1924, to Clifton and Katy Jones in Union Mills, Indiana. He was raised in the St. Helens area on small family farms with his two brothers. He served in the US Marine Corp in the Pacific Theater during the Second World War, and rose to the rank of Sergeant. Norm returned to the St. Helens area where he married Barbara Pennington in 1946. Norm and Barbara lived in St. Helens where they operated Penny Marine. As a result of business and the love of boating they were active with the Trailer Sailors and Portland Yacht Club. Eventually they built (in the late 90’s) a home on the banks of the Columbia River in Columbia City where they became known for the annual viewing party of the sailing of the Christmas Fleet from Portland. Norm was absolutely consumed by his love of airplanes. He sold them, he flew them and if three pilots got together anywhere in the world he was there in the middle of the discussion. Norm attended many meetings of the Columbia Aviation Association at the Aurora, Oregon Airport as well as being a charter member of the Aero Club in
downtown Portland. He maintained a hanger at the Scappoose Airport, which he kept in a spotless condition. Usually there was an aircraft in the hanger, which was in the process of being returned to like new condition before being sold. Norm was also active in the Masons, and an avid supporter of the Shriners Hospitals for Children. Norm and Barbara were accomplished travelers who visited foreign lands including Canada, several stops in Europe including The Netherlands, Scotland and other European locations. Norm was also an accomplished wood worker and spent many hours in his shop. Norm was a dedicated pen maker . The pens were never sold but rather given away. All it took was the mention of how nice a pen was and the commenter was likely to receive it as a gift. Norm was proceeded in passing by his wife of 67 years Barbara and a son Gary. He is survived by sons Mike (Carol) Jones, Lynn (Debbie) Jones both of St. Helens and daughters Judy (Rick) Williams of Beaverton and Kay (Mike) Brown of Tillamook and daughter-in-law Sandy Garrett of Bremerton Washington.

Martin Charles Mueller MD Martin was born in Council Bluffs, Iowa on March 9, 1925, the second of four children born to Reverend Martin and Mabel Mueller. He passed into the Lord’s hands on May 20, 2014 at the vibrant age of 89. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday May 24th at Resurrection Lutheran Church. Raised during the Great Depression, Martin was a great student and became Martin Mueller a state champion violinist in high school, as well as a gifted wood craftsman. He had 3 choices for career on his mind as he completed an undergraduate degree at Valparaiso University; pastor, doctor and carpenter. He successfully blended all three by becoming an orthopedic physician, following God’s call to compassionately heal over 25,000 patients throughout East Portland. He came to Oregon in 1948 fresh from Creighton Medical School as an Emanuel Hospital intern, with ties to the Physician and Surgeons Clinic. There he met gorgeous and smart Marian, also recently graduated from Emanuel School of Nursing. They married in August 1952 and the Army drafted him to peacetime Germany as a medical doctor, In 1959 Martin was the first orthopedic doctor to open an office in East Portland, which at the time was mostly farmland. He ultimately had one of the
longest surgical tenures in the Providence Portland system – all in all 50 years of medical practice. He was highly regarded throughout the Portland medical community for his skills, innovation, teamwork and compassion. In devoted partnership with Marian, Martin and their five children lived, worked, played and attended church in the Parkrose area until an emptynest move to Gresham in the mid-1980s. Martin served in leadership roles for many organizations and was admired for his calm and thoughtful demeanor, always cutting through to the core of an issue with solutions. Martin and Marian quietly gave generously to many important causes. Above everything else, Martin cared deeply about people and always took time to listen, care and advise, delighting everyone he encountered with his wit, intelligence, humility and unique ability to flirt! Martin’s love of his life passed away in 2003 after 50 wonderful years of marriage. Their favorite love expression was three taps on the hand or shoulder to say “I love you.” Martin is survived by his children, Sandra Bottens (St Helens OR), Mary Meranda (Ashtabula OH and husband Michael), Patricia Mueller, Nancy Horton (Lake Oswego, OR and husband Brad) and John Mueller (West Linn, OR and wife Lori). Martin’s oldest sister, Dorothy Freidrich (Ames IA) preceded him in death.Surviving siblings are Richard Mueller (Hood River, OR) and Marilyn Honsinger (Story City, IA). Martin and marian had 10 grandchildren and many nephews and nieces, who together with friends mourn and yet celebrate his passing into Heaven.

Public Meetings
Farmer’s market opens in Clatskanie Clatskanie Farmer’s Market officially opens Saturday, June 14 when City Council President, Ron Puzey rings the dinner triangle at 10 a.m. Organizers of the market say they have vendors committed to sell fresh seasonal produce, original crafts, face painting, baked goods and lunch fare. The market is scheduled to run for 16 weeks over summer at Cope’s Park. Sonia Reagan began dreaming about and working on the concept of a Clatskanie Farmer’s market almost two years ago. A Portland transplant, Reagan owns a twelve-acre farm in Clatskanie. Her original hope was to start a subscription produce service, but she soon discovered she didn’t have enough room to grow the quantity and variety of produce required without bring-
ing in other farmers and gardeners. That’s when she hatched the farmer’s market idea. Reagan says she attended workshops on how to run a market and studied licensing rules and regulations. She also contacted potential vendors, but it was at a March 2014 community meeting that momentum for the market really began to build. Darro BreshearsRouton, another Portland transplant, joined Reagan in the quest to organize a market. Together they’ve worked non-stop toward the June 14 launch. “Research shows that it takes about three years to develop a successful farmers market with this kind of synergy,” Reagan said in a release. Disaster struck on May 21, when a fire consumed Reagan’s barn, workshop and garden. A malfunction in an electrical box was the cause. The fire derailed plans to sell her
own produce, Reagan says, but the market is still full speed ahead. “I wouldn’t be able to do it,” she says, “without all the support from this community. They’ve been great.” The loss is covered by insurance. The organizers are expecting 14 vendors on grand opening weekend, a more than respectable number for a small-town market. One of those vendors is the Mud Club, a local 4-H sponsored group of students. The Mud Club will learn how to grow and market produce as an entrepreneurial experience funded by a 4-H grant. Breshears-Routon says, “Buying fresh produce straight from the person who grew it, or eggs from the person who raised the chickens are throw-backs to days gone by.” She feels the farmers market is a great way to help consumers connect with what they are eating. “They can talk
directly with the gardener or farmer, they can see what fruit, vegetables and berries grow in certain months and they will come to understand the importance of healthy soil and water that are necessary to nourish crops that are grown without chemicals,” she states. Reagan and BreshearsRouton want the market to become part of community life in Clatskanie each summer and the goal, they say, is to involve the local citizens as much as possible. A neighborhood gardens booth has been established to encourage local gardeners who may have a bumper crop, but only want to sell at the market one or two times during the summer. Clatskanie City Park is off Nehalem Street in Clatskanie, 32 miles west of St. Helens on Highway 30. The Clatskanie Farmers Market is open 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. every Saturday through September.

Why is Main Street important to all of us? BY MARY HEBERLING For The Chronicle
When you think of main streets, what are some of your first thoughts? Empty storefronts? Historic, old buildings? Lack of foot traffic? These are most likely correct observations for many different cities and towns across the United States, but it wasn’t always the case. At some point in time, main streets and downtowns were the heart and soul of a community. It was their social structure; a place where a plethora of friendly business owners, willing to go above and beyond for their local residents, located and ran their shops. Today they can be described as a deserted area where remnants of the past still linger. So how did this devastating shift against main streets happen in the first place? The building of highways
that diverted traffic from the downtown core, the exodus of people to single family homes far away, Mary Heberling and many other factors attributed to the decay of these central streets. With less traffic, people commuting out of the town, and development building off of the highways; it made it harder for main street businesses to stay afloat and survive. Today you can see the effects with empty storefronts, depleted buildings, lack of shops, and more. These are the facts of what happened and some may say just the natural process of development, but throughout the country, many towns, communities
and metropolitan areas are starting to take notice of their downtowns and main streets again. They are showing a new investment and interest that hasn’t been seen in 20 or more years. In fact, over 2,000 communities in the U.S. are participating in the National Main Street Program and have created great and vibrant main streets again. So what’s the big deal? Why are main streets so important? First off, your Main Street or downtown is much more than a shopping center. They may not be your community’s most dominant shopping core, but they do provide unique shopping and service opportunities. You will see attorneys, physicians, accountants, insurance offices, and much more, along with typical retail and restaurants. Those unique aspects then play into your draw to tourists. They want to spend time in a place they can’t see
and experience on a normal basis. Our main street is like no other in the world, so let’s celebrate and embrace it! Main streets are a prominent employment center. They employ hundreds of people and can sometimes be the largest employer of a community. Many of those businesses are most likely local and independently owned as well. Not only do they hire local community members, but when you shop at a store on Main Street, you are supporting a local family, who in turn supports our schools, parks, etc. They keep profits in town, which emphasizes the importance of Main Street as a reflection of the tax base. As property values decrease in those main street areas due to neglect, the tax burden on other parts of your community increases. Parks, roads, utilities, etc may suffer from lack of funding. Main streets play a big
role as a business center. They serve as incubators for new businesses, creating new opportunities and success for the future. These new businesses then can attract other businesses looking for unique and great places to move. Your main street now plays the role of business recruiter and maintains retention. Soon those historic buildings that create the character of your community are now new business centers and hubs; a perfect example of excellent building re-use. However, the most important reason why your main street is important is because it provides a sense of community and place. Author Carol Lifkind of “Main Street: The Face of Urban American,” said, “…as Main Street, it was uniquely American, a powerful symbol of shared experiences, of common memory, of the challenge, and the struggle of building a civilization…Main
Street was always familiar, always recognizable as the heart and soul of the village, town, or city.” Main Street isn’t and never was meant to be neglected and forgotten. Let’s not forget our main street in St. Helens. Let’s bring back our unique community center and celebrate its vast history and look forward to the future. Make a difference in your community and get involved in Main Street St. Helens! Learn about our main street program, volunteer opportunities, and much more at our Main Street St. Helens interest night, Monday, June 16th from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the OSU Extension Office (505 N. Columbia River Hwy). Free refreshments and raffle prizes. We hope to see you there in support of Main Street. Mary Heberling is the Main Street Program Coordinator for the City of St. Helens. She is with Americorps VISTA.
Duplex owner fined $6,898 by DEQ over septic permit The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has fined the owner of a duplex in Scappoose $6,898 for failing to renew a permit required for the unit’s septic system. Marilyn White of Vancouver received a notice dated May 20, 2014 stating the duplex she owns at 51361 Branch Road has an on-site wastewater treatment system that has operated without a permit since 2006. The duplex was built in 1962 according to county records and sits on a .57acre lot in a rural neighborhood off Dutch Canyon Road. In its notice, DEQ stated that White was required by Oregon law to have a Water Pollution Control Facilities permit for her septic system. A permit was issued in 2001
DON PATTERSON / The Chronicle
Failing to secure the proper permit for a septic system resulted in a substantial fine from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
but it expired to 2006, when White did not renew it. White did not want to
talk about the fine but did say she had obtained a permit from the Columbia
County on June 5, 2014. DEQ said White had until June 20 to submit an ap-
plication for a permit to the DEQ office in Eugene. If White obtains a new permit, the fine may be reduced.

Rainier wins 2nd straight state title CORVALLIS — The Rainier Columbians (25-4, 12-0) won their second consecutive OSAA 3A Softball State Championship. The third-ranked Columbians beat the No. 8 Vale Vikings (22-7, 12-2) 5-1 at the Oregon State University Softball Complex on June 7 to earn the state title. The win capped a dominat-
ing run through the state playoffs. Rainier won its first two playoff games by a combined score of 14-1. In the semifinals, the Columbians won a rematch of the 2013 state title game, beating the No. 2 Dayton Pirates (21-5, 10-0) 1-0. Rainier pitchers Shelby Saylors and Sarah Probasco combined on a three-hitter in the final game.
Saylors, a junior, went five innings, striking out 11 and walking one. In two innings of relief, the sophomore Probasco had three strikeouts and no walks to pick up the save. The Vikings took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. After the first, however, Vale managed only one hit the rest of the game. Rainier evened the score in the
bottom of the second inning when Saylors hit a double to score freshman Jadyn Crape. The Columbians tacked on three runs on four hits in the fifth inning, keyed by a two-run double from Crape. An RBI single from junior Jessica Gibson made it 5-1 in the sixth inning. Gibson finished the game
softball
3-for-4. Crape was 2-for-3 with a double and two RBIs. Saylors was named the OSAA Player of the Game for Rainier. With just three seniors on the roster – Marissa Sanchez, Ronni Gray and Hydee Coffman – Rainier looks to be in position to make a run at a third straight title in 2015. – By Kyle Boggs auto racing

Lions’ run ends in 5A semifinals by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com
MILWAUKIE — Their chances to earn a trip to the 5A State Championship game were disappearing. Heading into their final trip to the plate, the No. 8 St. Helens Lions (19-9, 12-2) were trailing the fifth-ranked Putnam Kingsmen (22-7, 12-2) 3-0. The Lions had yet to record a hit and had put only one runner on base all game — the very first batter of the game, sophomore Ashley Giesbers, drew a walk. When the Kingsmen took the field to start the seventh inning, it looked like they’d waltz right down to OSU for the state title game on June 7. But St. Helens senior Stevie Strawn swung at the first pitch of the seventh inning, sending a hard grounder to the third baseman. Strawn and the ball got to first base at the same time, and when the ball got past the first baseman, Strawn didn’t hesitate in taking off for second. Junior Michelle Sass followed with a walk and suddenly the Lions had two runners on base for the first time all game. Following a fielder’s choice from junior Mariah Mulcahy, sophomore Taylor Leal drilled an RBI double. The next batter up, junior Alyssa Giesbers, grounded to the
shortstop for what looked like it might be a game-ending double play. The shortstop went to tag Leal, but lost control of the ball and it went into left field. That allowed Mulcahy to score and Leal to make it to third. Giesbers alertly advanced to second base. “We never give up. We’ve always been one of those teams that will fight for the entire game regardless of whether we’re winning or losing. That definitely showed tonight with them coming in with two runs in the seventh inning. It just wasn’t quite enough; too little too late,” said St. Helens coach Miranda Little. Junior Hailee Fischer stepped in next and sent a towering fly ball to deep right field that had the Putnam outfielder backpedaling in a hurry toward the fence. She reached up and snagged it with an outstretched arm. In the commotion of the Lions’ bench and large crowd cheering on the blast, the SHHS baserunner was 10-15 feet off the base when the ball was caught and didn’t tag up. “There was a lot of noise over here. She probably didn’t hear anyone telling her to get back. She probably got excited in the moment – it was really intense,” Little said. A hard-hit ground ball to second base ended the scoring threat and the season for St. Helens.
kyle boggs / The Chronicle St. Helens senior Stevie Strawn throws to first base for an outfield assist during St. Helens’ playoff game at Putnam last week.
That was the story of the game for the Lions, as several hard hit balls went right at Kingsmen defenders, and Putnam made the plays it needed to. “Our kids got robbed of some shots. Some hits that if they’d been a little to the left or a little to the right of the shortstop a couple times or the pitcher a couple times,” Little said. “We were right there. All it took was one hit to fall in somewhere or something to happen. It just didn’t happen, just
too little too late. We can’t wait until the seventh inning to try to score some runs, especially if they scored in the first. The seventh inning is a little later than I would like,” Little said. Putnam won 3-2. The Kingsmen lost the state championship game 2-1 to the Pendleton Buckaroos (24-6) on June 7. St. Helens threatened in the top of the first. After Ashley Giesbers See lions, Page A12

LIONS: will have seven starters back From PAGE A11 walked, she moved to third on a perfectly executed buntand-run by Strawn. Sass then sent a rocket that was snared by the shortstop and Giesbers wound up stranded at third. In the bottom of the first, Putnam followed the same pattern to take a 1-0 lead: Walk, sacrifice bunt, hard-hit ball from the No. 3 batter. The cleanup batter then hit a line drive to the Lions’ shortstop – Ashley Giesbers – who caught the drive and tossed to senior second baseman Karli Edwards for a double play. The Kingsmen added their second run in the second inning with a basesloaded bloop single over third base. Putnam tacked on an important insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning, scoring a run on a two-out bunt single. The game is the end of the road for this year’s Lions’ squad, who managed to reach the state semifinals for
the first time in 15 years. Seniors Strawn, Edwards, Kali Moore and Kelsey Ansotegui were an integral part of that success, with each one earning All-NWOC recognition. Next year’s team figures to return seven starters to the fold. Each of them will head into the offseason with a bitter taste in their mouths and use that to motivate them for the 2015 season. “They should be really proud of how they played but they’re all disappointed. They were all ready to be in Corvallis on Saturday. You can see it on their faces,” Little said. “I’ve got a great group of girls. We’re losing some seniors but we have the core group returning and I think they’re gonna be fired up next year because they know we should’ve been there this year.” SHHS 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 – 2 2 1 RPHS 1 0 1 0 0 1 x – 3 5 2 Mulcahy and Sass.

SHCU breaks ground on new building
Sporting shovels and hardhats, members of the St. Helens Community executive team and Board along with key partners, commenced construction of the new St. Helens Community branch with a groundbreaking ceremony June 9. The new branch is set to open later this year at the intersection of Highway 30 and McBride Street in St. Helens. It will feature a new drive-thru, expanded Saturday hours, a technology center, as well as a distinctive style reminiscent of the Pacific Northwest and the local community. “It’s an exciting day,” stated Brooke VanVleet, president and CEO of St. Helens Community. “Construction is officially underway. Soon, members will have a more convenient, St. Helens location.” All branch locations will remain open during construction, with the new branch expected to open later this year. Administration offices and other support services will remain at the current St. Helens building once the move to the new location is complete.
Polk County Sheriff cuts staff Passage of the levy to fund operation of the Columbia County jail had a negative effect in Polk County where Sheriff Bob Wolfe stated he will layoff additional deputies. Wolfe stated, “We budgeted money from Columbia County renting jail beds to keep from laying off additional employees at Polk County, now I must make additional reductions to the patrol division.” Polk County Budget Committee adopted the budget for the Sheriff’s Office on May 14, 2014, which will take effect on July 1, 2014.
The adopted budget assumed nearly $300,000 in jail bed rental from Columbia County, however, now this anticipated revenue must be removed from the budget to balance, meaning, additional reductions of employees, Wolfe said in a press release. Columbia County Commissioners had planned to rent up to 10 beds per night to house the worst of the county’s prisoners if the levy failed. The three-year operating levy passed in Columbia County by 303 votes out of 11,807 votes cast.
Plants stolen from Triangle Park Thieves made away with about 10 flowering plants from Triangle Park in St. Helens. According to St. Helens Garden Club President, Stan Chiotti, the plants were from a selection of about 50 the garden club planted only about a week ago. Many of the plants removed were
of unusual colors or type, Chiotti said. “The park is for everyone to enjoy,” insisted Chiotti. In April 2013 plants were stolen in a similar manner. Most plants taken at that time were succulents leading Chiotti to believe whoever took the plants knew what their value was.
Chiotti said the garden club is considering installing cameras to help catch the persons taking the plants. The park is at the intersection of Columbia Boulevard, St. Helens Street and 13th Street. It is maintained jointly by the St. Helens Parks Department and the St. Helens Garden Club.

to place the man under arrest, he ran into the woods, reportedly wearing pajama pants and a baseball cap and made his way north past the Deer Island Store to Highway 30 and into a trailer park. Police from St. Helens,
Scappoose and Washington assisted in setting up a perimeter and brought in a police dog from Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office. The dog found the suspect within five minutes according to Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson.
