Burglar caught in Grey Cliffs area

A silent alarm and the following investigation led St. Helens Police to a suspect in a handful of local burglaries. According to St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss, on Thursday, June 12 just after 4 p.m., officers responded to an alarm at 474 Grey Cliffs Drive. When they arrived, they found a bicycle ridden by the suspect, and evidence to suggest Juan Jorge that he Rosales-Emmanuel fled the house as they arrived. A trail in the wet grass and brush led officers to believe he ran over a steep embankment towards, and possibly into the Columbia River. An extensive search of the area, with the help of the Columbia County Sheriffs’ Marine Patrol, failed to turn up any sign of the suspect. Investigators determined the bicycle belonged to Juan Jorge Ramon Rosales-Emanuel, 25, a transient with ties to the St. Helens area, and began an aggressive search to find him. Rosales-Emanuel was arrested at about 4 p.m on June 13 after a surveillance team found him in an apartment at 2545 Columbia Blvd. When he was arrested, RosalesEmanuel had items taken during the burglary in his possession. Police transported Rosales-Emanuel and lodged him in the Columbia County Jail and charged with one count of first-degree burglary. Investigators are combing over property recovered in this case and carefully analyzing the evidence for clues that may connect him to additional crimes. Information already suggests that Rosales-Emanuel may be involved in at least two other burglaries in the Grey Cliffs neighborhood. See BURGLAR, Page A2

ST. HELENS — An open dressage show will showcase local equestrian talents on the opening day of the Columbia County Fair on July 12. One of the most beautiful, exciting and challenging forms of riding, dressage is a French term that literally means “training.” In Europe, Dressage is the only systematic and comprehensive training that exists. It began in the 15th Century to teach horses how to maneuver in war moves, and the best-trained horses kept their knights alive. Horses were taught to move differently over their backs in order to carry the heavy armor of the warrior. It is from the slightest movement of the seat and legs of the rider that the horse would perform. The most imperceptible movements were needed from the rider so the enemy could not foresee the opponent’s next move. Horses were also trained to kick, rear and attack the enemy on cue. The same scale of training that has been handed down for centuries is still being used today. The horse is trained to carry itself over the back (to lift its weight up off its legs), to slowly develop suppleness, collection, elasticity, obedience and be able to move any Courtesy photo part of its body in any direcAbby Kessi, of Scappoose, competing in a dressage show with a horse named My Flight To Paris. tion on cue.

This will be the first dressage show to feature musical freestyle open to all levels, including introductory level. First through fifth place ribbons will be awarded in all classes, as well as high point ribbons in each level and a special award to high point of the day. Class fees are $15 per test, or $18 each after July 3. Event judge Debbie Spitzenpfeil, who owns Silverhorse Farms in Deer Island, trained with the masters of Grand Prix. She has 38 years of experience, including natural horsemanship, hunter/jumpers, cross country and FEI dressage. Members of the Columbia County Dressage Chapter, the local chapter of the Oregon Dressage Society, are helping grade and put in new footing for the dressage court for the show. They are also volunteering to help organize the show. Please feel free to visit the Columbia County Fair website or contact Debbie Spitzenpfeil at silverhorsefarms@hotmail. com for entry forms or any questions regarding the dressage show. The Columbia County Fairgrounds are located at 58892 Saulser Road in St. Helens. Gates will open at 7 a.m. with the show expected to start around 9 a.m. Admission is free.

Citizens, commissioners discuss RSIA pros, cons BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — As the deadline approaches for the Port of St. Helens’ application for a regionally significant industrial area designation, citizens attended the June 11 county commissioners meeting to share their thoughts, as well as hear rebuttal from the board. A regionally significant industrial area is a designation that offers industrial ar-

eas a streamlined permitting process as a way to develop the land and create jobs. At the meeting, St. Helens resident Annie Christensen, of Envision Columbia County, said that SB 766 requires community support in order to designate a regionally significant industrial area. She said she had attended Columbia City and St. Helens city council meetings and only one of the 10 council members supported the proposal. Christensen added that there have been no city

resolutions of support and asked the commissioners to consider public opinion when deciding whether to support the application. “The port has had nearly three years to present this proposal to us, now the application deadline looms just 17 days away,” explained Christensen, who presented the board with a signed petition. “It is my understanding that the county commissioners can pass a resolution or a letter of support for the Port Westward special designa-

INSIDE

tion without a public hearing. Will the county commissioners speak for all of us, with no opportunity to determine if there is in fact community support? I request a public hearing.” Columbia City resident Paulette Lichatowich asked which properties the port plans to include in the application. Nancy Whitney, of St. Helens, told the commissioners that 75 percent of their constituents oppose Port Westward shipments and that

they are being ignored. “You need to listen to Annie and to Paula, they are very, very bright,” said Whitney. “You need to take all of their input in and not just listen to it, you need to act on it and you need to start listening to the people who oppose this because there’s one hell of a lot of them.” St. Helens resident Carol Sweet said, “We realize that the biggest single thing is

A car show visitor looks through Don and Thelma Misener’s photo album that chronicles the meticulous restoration of their 1928 Dodge Brothers Victory 6. The Miseners, of Aloha, dressed the part to show off their car at the Highway 30 Cruise In on June 14. The couple said the vehicle sat in a barn in Tigard for 30 years and then in a lean-to in North Plains for another 20 years before they purchased it for $700 in 2003. See story on page A4.

The Rainier School Board took the offensive at its board meeting June 16, releasing a statement accusing students and community members of slander and libel for comments made on social media. In front of a crowd of about 50 people, the press and Portland television cameras, Rainier School Board Chairperson Sean Clark read a statement saying school staff acted appropriately when

attending to student mental health needs and that bullying was dealt with according to policy and best practice. The prepared statement went on to say, “ Despite this, district staff were themselves slandered and libeled in person and on social media by students and community members who did not have the whole story and perpetuated untruth.” The document handed out to the press at the meeting was titled ‘Official Rainier School See BOARD, Page A3

Scappoose appoints Rich Riffle to council BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE — The Scappoose City Council has a full board again after appointing Rich Riffle to the council position previously held by the late Donna Gedlich. Councilors held a public interview with Riffle Monday, where they inquired about his background, experience, and potential responsibilities. Riffle, who currently works part-time at Ace Hardware, moved to Scappoose two years ago from Benton County. Formerly the chief of police for Adair Village near Corvallis, he retired from law enforcement after 26 years of service. Councilman Jason Meshell asked Riffle about his ability to hear multiple points of view and the process he would use to make decisions. Riffle, who said he has served on numerous committees over the years, stated, “I try very, very hard to approach everything with an open mind. I don’t have all the answers, you know.

Richard Riffle, left, takes his oath of office from Scappoose Mayor Scott Burge Monday night. Riffle was appointed to the city council position formerly held by the late Donna Gedlich.

Generally, I won’t say all the time, but I’m generally open to having my mind changed and so I’m willing to listen to

all sides of the story, points of view. And then … just come up with the best possible resolution I can.”

Councilwoman Barb Hayden, who worked with Riffle on the city’s budget committee for a couple years,

inquired, “As you know, we get into some pretty healthy debates up here. How are you at jumping right in and voic-

ing your opinion?” “Healthy debates are always good,” Riffle replied. “Again, it goes into that not everybody has all the answers. And I have no problem jumping in when I think I have something to say, otherwise I’m a quiet kind of guy.” Councilman Jeff Erickson asked Riffle which city issues piqued his interest. Riffle stated he would like to learn more about public works and water rates. Mayor Scott Burge explained that typically when there is a council position vacated in the middle of a term, candidates’ names are put on the ballot for the public to vote for their choice. But since Riffle was the only “candidate that turned their application in on time and is qualified to sit in the role,” the council could make a motion to appoint Riffle to the seat. Riffle was appointed unanimously. He will serve the remainder of Gedlich’s term, which ends in December. He may file to run for the seat if he chooses to do so.

PCC gathers input on proposed Columbia County center COLUMBIA COUNTY — As part of the vision to build a center in Columbia County in the future, Portland Community College (PCC) hosted two gatherings last week to find out directly from residents which programs and services they feel would serve the county’s educational needs. The gatherings, held at the Scappoose and St. Helens high schools, were the third step in PCC’s efforts to gather feedback from the community. An online survey of counselors, teachers and principals at local schools indicated that the highest need is career

and technical education, such as welding technology or building construction technology programs; high school completion, such as GED programs; and evening classes. At a breakfast gathering with members of the local business community, employers said the present needs include computer skills; business skills, such as business etiquette and ethics; and technical training. Needs for the future included manufacturing skills, such as automation and industrial sewing; hospitality and tourism education; computer programming skills; and healthcare and safety train-

ing. Citizens who attended the Scappoose gathering said they would like to see courses offered in family law, business, management, accounting, professional development, exercise, photography and photo editing, history, technical writing, fundraising, basic and advanced computer skills, early childhood education, business preparation, medical administrative training, job search skills and preparation, GED completion, health care such as nursing and dental assisting, parent and family education, creative writing, meditation and tai chi, cook-

ing, baking, and farm-totable topics. Participants also felt PCC needs to develop presence in Columbia County, perhaps through building bridges with students and offering free community education workshops about job exploration. Other needs that ranked highly were college preparation, career technology, evening and weekday classes, transferable courses, career planning, academic advising, student support services and assistance with applying for financial aid. Senator Betsy Johnson was in attendance and openly supported PCC’s

plans to establish roots in the county. “I represent five counties,” said Johnson, “and in those five counties are Tillamook Bay Community College, Clatsop Community College in Astoria, and PCC Rock Creek has come into Senate District 16. And I just want to share with you how excited I am about PCC having a physical presence in Columbia County. The presence of those colleges in Tillamook and Astoria have been transformational in the community. We just built a new campus in Tillamook, a brand new up from the bottom campus and greatly

rehabbed Clatsop Community College, and it is an enormous benefit to the community. I hope those of you that took the time to come tonight share with others the need to demonstrate to PCC this is a two-way partnership. We have to be as enthusiastic about them coming as they are about being here.” Rock Creek president Sandra Fowler Hill said PCC hopes to open an education center in Columbia County by 2017. Currently, she said there are 1,200 Columbia County students enrolled at PCC, which also offers welding classes at St. Helens High School.

Skin Holistic: Helping you put your best face forward BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — Have you ever felt like you needed a skin care regimen but you weren’t sure what products to use or where to start? Are you searching for skincare products that are produced sustainably and free of chemicals? Do you have skin damage that you feel is beyond repair? If so, a new business in St. Helens may have just the products you need to put your best face forward. Skin Holistic, a skin health boutique, offers holistic and innovative products to target dermal health, provide UV protection and transform through cosmetic correction. The business is owned and operated by Melinda Beville, one of six medically-trained oncology estheticians in the state of Oregon. Beville says her passion for preventative and reparative skincare is the result of being diagnosed with skin cancer at an early age. Growing up in California, red-haired Beville

spent her youth in the sun trying to achieve a golden tan. Unfortunately, her light complexion saw its fair share of sunburns and blisters, and by the time she was 30, she had a large basal cell carcinoma removed from her shoulder. It was then that she realized that she needed to take care of her skin in the most gentle but effective way possible. So Beville used her medical background combined with guidance from her father, an organic chemist, to enlist with a manufacturing lab that could support her vision for high quality, botanical skincare products that are free of ingredients that irritate sensitive skin. Skin Holistic’s products are free of “empty fillers”, chemicals, dyes, petroleum, paraben, perfumes, and environmentally toxic, skin sensitizing and cancer concerning preservatives. All products are created with ingredients that promote skin health, and many are suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types. Formulations include raw materials that are kosher, vegan and/or biodegradable. Skin Holisitic products are not tested on animals.

In her boutique, Beville offers consulting and specialized skin health products for delicate and sensitive skin, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, acne, redhaired complexions, oncology skincare, non-inflammatory anti-aging solutions and more. She has products for skin compromised by diabetes, shingles, allergies, immune disorders and obesity-related skin conditions. She also offers transition or rescue services to provide immediate help for periodic short-term reactive or continuous long-term sensitive or delicate skin. During the consultation, Beville provides information on the product ingredients and why they are beneficial, as well as which ingredients to avoid. For instance, tree oils can aggravate psoriasis and eczema.

Her Ginger Gentle line is specifically formulated skincare for health-compromised skin due to chemotherapy, radiation, immune disorders, rosacea, diabetes, and even scars. The anti-aging line provides non-inflammatory and gentle but effective reparative and transformational skincare for mature and sun-damaged skin types. Skin Holistic Man is a men’s skincare line consisting of antibacterial, protective, soothing and hydrating products such as a skin nutrition serum, anti-aging serum and an aftershave lotion. The skincare-based cosmetics line has mineral foundation, lip treatments and other makeup products for healthy looking skin with UV protection. Beville says all of her

products are developed to help clients feel better about themselves. “It’s about bringing out the best you, not a whole new face,” she explains. Using an Oregon-based manufacturer, Skin Holistic products are created using sustainable practices such as 100 percent renewable wind energy for power and recycled packaging, shipping and marketing materials. Skin Holistic customers can pay less for their products and help the environment at the same time by participating in Skin Holistic’s Green

Planet Refill Program. Purchase two Green Planet qualified products and save 10 percent on your purchase. When you bring your empty container back for a product refill, receive an additional 25 percent discount off retail price. A grand opening event is scheduled for June 19 through 22. A ribbon cutting ceremony is scheduled for June 27. Located at 134 N. 2nd Street, Suite 3 in St. Helens, Skin Holistic is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call 503-366-3035 or log onto www.skinholistic. com.

BURGLAR: Police catch thief From PAGE A1 Moss said there may be additional suspects involved in the string of residential burglaries that have taken place in St. Helens and the surrounding area. “This investigation is far from over,” said Moss. “We are going to keep working these cases with the Colum-

bia County Sheriff’s Office and do our best to clear as many of these cases as we can,” he added. Moss said the continued community support and vigilance is appreciated. A $1,000 reward is still offered for information leading to the arrests and convictions of those involved in these crimes.

RSIA: Residents voice concerns about designation From PAGE A1

Port Westward, that’s what everybody’s concerned about, that is the big one. And you guys are the ones that have the say in that. It’s not like a council of five, it’s just you guys. And I assume it’s two out of three that get to vote on it, so it’s really two individuals in the county making that decision. And I’ll use a pun – we’re feeling railroaded into this…” “We’re not saying never have the oil business in Columbia County, we’re saying we’re being railroaded on this. The state is saying ‘you must meet our criteria’ and what are we getting back for it, really? Loss of local control and perhaps a lot of really ticked off constituents. So I’m just saying that I would like to see some real thought given to this and I know you guys are working on it, but I also know 30

jobs, that’s not a trade off.” Sweet shared concerns about vehicles getting stuck on the train tracks and being hit by an oil train. She explained, “We really have to be a lot more concerned about this because accidents are happening and I’ve seen the citizens are saying ‘No, we don’t want this,’ but they don’t even know how to stop it. They just feel like it happened behind their backs in the dark and this is one more step to speed it up.” County Commissioner Henry Heimuller asked if the threat of accidents would be different if the trains were hauling logs or ammonium nitrate. “I guess where I’m going with this is we can sensationalize oil trains, but we have train traffic in this county and we have a whole lot more trains of other than oil coming through here every

single day,” said Heimuller. “I think that the issue is we’re a county of commerce, we hope to be a county of commerce, and I’m more concerned about making sure our rail crossings are safe. So that whether it’s a train full of logs or gypsum board or anything, whatever that is, so we can make sure that people can cross safely. That’s a bigger concern to me — whether or not the train that was headed towards you was loaded with oil versus something else. It’s a train. Train versus cars are not pretty sights, you know. We don’t ever want to get in that.” During his commissioner report, Heimuller announced that he was asked to serve on governor’s task force on rail safety. He added that he also sits on the Public Transportation Advisory Commission for the Oregon Transportation Commission, which allows him to bring

the county’s concerns to the governor’s office. Commissioner Earl Fisher said safety is the board’s primary concern. He stated, “There are groups that become before this board constantly saying they represent the public. I would suggest that they represent a very small fraction of the public. I live in Clatskanie; I can produce 62 people who will be very much in favor of the development out there. You can walk down the street in St. Helens and find a lot of people who say they support what’s going on.” “What’s difficult for us as elected leaders is to balance that — those who come to meetings and make noise and those who stand in the street and talk to you. But don’t let anybody believe people on this council don’t listen to both sides of it. And it’s not a question of two people

making a decision. We have the vote, the power to do that, but every one of us pay a great deal of attention to what the public has to say. And for others to suggest otherwise I would say is an inaccuracy. “People are very concerned about what goes down that rail, as they should be. But don’t make any mistake that everything is going to blow up, it’s not. More than 90 percent of the oil that moves through here — less than 30 trains a month — are in double hauls. When a 350-ton, or something like that, piece of equipment out at Port Westward fell onto one of those cars when they were loading the new generators out at Port Westward, it didn’t even hardly dent the car. We went out to see that. I say this because I want assure the people that we are very concerned about the safety and those cars are safe. Can an accident happen? Yes. An am-

monia truck can blow up in the middle of St. Helens and we could all die from it. If we want to be scared to death on everything that comes down the rail, we can. The question of rail is important. “I stayed at the light for 37 minutes waiting for the track to clear; not one oil car — logs, boxes of something, probably our Christmas presents coming from China. The issue is not how long it takes the oil cars to get through, it’s whether or not we can find a better place to do the switching that occurs in the middle of our communities, that’s the issue.” In other business, the commissioners appointed Janet Evans and Bruce Laughlin to the Columbia County Commission on Children and Families. The board also approved a resolution declaring a fiscal emergency and modifying recording dates for the Columbia County clerk.

BOARD: district staff ‘liabled in person and on social media’

From PAGE A1

Board Statement June 16th 2014’ but it was not clear when or how the school board adopted the statement. Supporters of Nayt Taylor, the Rainier High School student at the center of the controversy, hoped to demonstrate their frustrations with school administrators at the meeting. Taylor read a statement largely recounting his accusations and narrative of events as previously reported. Stephanie Taylor also repeated accusations first aired on social media. Nate’s father, Chad Taylor asked for a special session at the next board meeting to review the policies. Rainier School Superintendent, Michael Carter was asked by a member of the audience, why a student that was suspended was allowed to play in a playoff game. Carter answered, “We should not have let a student that is suspended represent us in any event...that’s on me, that won’t happen again.” Taylor played on the Co-

lumbian baseball team that lost to Cascade Christian in the first round of the 2014 3A Baseball Tournament on May 28. The controversy began on May 30, when Taylor posted

a handwritten letter on social media, expressing frustrations with school counselors and administrators for what he believed was inadequate response to his reports of another student being bullied.

The story quickly went viral, attracting media attention and sparking student protests at Rainier High School. Taylor said he was frustrated with school

Cruise In nearly doubles participants from last year BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE — Motorcycles, American muscle, racers, rat rods, classics, convertibles, chromed out and under-construction — no matter your preference, you were bound to see something to tickle your fancy at the ninth annual Highway 30 Cruise In on Saturday. Hosted at the Scappoose High School parking lot and organized by the Scappoose Parents Association, the event featured cars, trucks and motorcycles of various years, as well as food, live music and raffles. According to the event’s organizer, Tammy Belwood, this year’s cruise in brought nearly double the amount of participants than in years past. “It went great. We were really excited that the total number of cars was 124, which is almost double from last year’s total of 78,” said Belwood. Sponsored by Maps Auto Center, the event’s proceeds will benefit students of Scappoose School District. Belwood estimated that this year’s Cruise In raised at least $2,000, which will likely go toward fulfilling a teacher’s request for their classroom, such as technology or other equipment.

Belwood concluded, “I am so thankful to all of the local businesses that generously donated to our show. By doing that it allows that much more money to go to the needs of the school district. I would especially like to thank Marty and Laurie of MAPS Auto Center for being our sponsor and being so supportive of our cause.” Cruise In winners 2014 • Convertible Class: First place —Don and Chris Gonrowski , Scappoose, 1968 Ford Mustang; Best in Class — Larry Anderson, Columbia City, 1971 Buick Skylark • ‘20s Class: First place — Don and Thelma Misener, Aloha, 1928 Dodge Brothers Best in Class — David and Linda Swan, Warren, 1928 Ford CC Pickup • ‘30s Class: First place — Tom Gaither, Scappoose, 1934 Ford Cabriolet Best in Class — Chris McMann, Warren, 1932 Ford • ‘40s Class: First place — Rob Renner, St. Helens, 1940 Chevy Coupe Best in Class — Ed Sinclair, Vancouver, 1940 Oldsmobile • ‘50s Class: First place — Linda Karnoski, St. Helens, 1957 Thunderbird Best in Class — Kyle

Letters Trains blocking roads not regulated In the last few months, many of us in St. Helens have been stuck at an intersection waiting for trains to offload cars loaded with logs, sometimes for 20 or even 30 minutes at a stretch. On June 2, I arrived at the intersection of Hwy.30 and Columbia Blvd. at 8:25 a.m., joining several vehicles already waiting, and did not move again until 8:55 a.m. Thinking this must violate some law for blocking intersections, I looked into the matter. According to Oregon. gov, “Until recently, the State of Oregon regulated the length of time a railroad may block a public highway-rail crossing. An Oregon Court of Appeals ruling determined that federal law preempted the State from continuing this practice. So, the State of Oregon can no longer control public crossings that are blocked by trains.” I then emailed a very courteous and responsive attorney with the Surface Transportation Board in Washington, D.C. To my surprise, I learned there is no federal law regulating the amount of time a train can block an intersection. On my behalf, the attorney contacted the owners of the offending

Speedbump

rail line, who in turn said they will contact the operators of the line, to request that they take whatever steps they can to avoid blocked crossings in St. Helens. With no law with which to comply, it is up to the judgment of the crew as to whether they are disrupting traffic flow for an unreasonable length of time. In the meantime, regardless of where you stand on the environmental, safety, or jobs issues surrounding the current discussion of various types of trains running through our city and county, be aware that we are at their mercy when it comes to blocked intersections. More trains owned by multiple rail lines mean those arms will come down more often, making residents late for work, late for appointments, late picking up our kids from school, etc., and perhaps tourists who might otherwise visit our commercial districts will get tired of the wait and move on. Most seriously of all, emergency responders will be late arriving at their destinations. Kathy Innocenti St. Helens Needs to see a doctor Today I learned that a single mom I know was de-

Dave Coverly

nied Oregon healthcare for her and her children because she makes 25 cents over the income limit. That is the most insane thing i have ever heard. She has been feeling bad and has a pain in her private parts and was going to see the doctor but was denied because of 25 cents. If there is anything that can be done about this please let me know. Does she need to have her employer take 25 cents off her pay so she can qualify or does she need to get a lawyer and see if she can qualify? She needs to see a doctor NOW... Ron Palmer Deer Island Thanks to Elks I give my heartfelt thanks to members of the St. Helens Elks Lodge for the moving and memorable “Flag Day Ceremony” at the Club today at noon. Not only did I learn a lot more about the history of our flag, it was amazing to see the many veteran’s who joined us for the service. Everyone went home with an American flag --- I’m proud of being reminded just how sacred our freedom is. God Bless America. Diane M. Dillard St. Helens

Ways to avoid becoming a victim of burglary BY JEFF DICKERSON Columbia County Sheriff

With the increase in property crimes in our communities, citizens have asked what they can do to make their property more secure. While nothing is fail-safe, there are some things you can do to discourage property crime. First, keep good relations with your neighbors—look out for one another. A trusting relation-

ship among neighbors can provide extra eyes on one another’s property. You can also start a Neighborhood Watch organization in your neighborhood. The Sheriff’s Office provides training in Neighborhood Watch development. Secondly, keep doors and windows locked. Invest in window locks and deadbolt door locks. Don’t leave keys under the doormat or other “logical” places for a burglar to look. Third, keep valuables out of view from prying eyes.

Keep firearms and other valuables in a safe. Keep car keys out of view. In Sheriff Jeff your veDickerson hicles, don’t leave anything of value in view when you are parked and away from your car. Fourth, give your home

that lived-in look, even when you aren’t there. Install a timer on your lights so that when you are gone they come on and go off as they might when you are home. Have good exterior lighting and make sure it is illuminated at night. Finally, security cameras and home alarms can add an extra level of security. There are a wide variety of models and styles of security systems available on the market for you to choose from. Some have suggested

Columbia Humane Society

Our job is to try to piece together enough clues to be able to solve these property crimes, but we rely on the law-abiding citizens in our community to be our eyes and ears to what is happening out there. If you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to call it in. In an emergency, dial 9-1-1, otherwise you can call the Dispatch Center’s non-emergency line at (503) 397-1521 24 hours a day. You can also call our tip line at (503) 3664698. We get to these calls as soon as we can.

that all they need to protect their property is their gun. While firearms can be good home defense tools for protecting yourself and your loved ones from violence or threatened violence, guns are not really helpful in defeating property crimes. In fact, you cannot use deadly force to protect your property. Most property crimes occur when people are not around, any way, so the best place for any gun that you leave at home is in a locked gun safe.

OBITUARIES Bernard (Bernie) Japs Bernard (Bernie) Japs, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, friend, electrician, veteran, hunter and adventurer, left this world after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Bernie was born in Nebraska on Sept. 24, and died in St. Helens, Ore., on Bernard Japs June 10, 2014. Bernie was a lifelong resident of St. Helens with his wife of 70 years, Aleta Jo and children, Judy, Julie and Jim and families, as well as those who had the great honor and privilege of knowing him mourn his loss. A memorial service celebrating his life will be held Saturday, June 28, 2014 at 11 am at the St. Helens United Methodist Church. A reception will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to the American Red Cross or the Alzheimer’s Association are welcomed. Datie Mary von Allmen (Moses) Born June 23, 1930 – Passed June 12, 2014 Datie was born in Exeter, Calif., but spent her childhood in Pagosa Springs, Colo. Later she moved to Oregon where she spent the rest of her life. She and her husband, Fritz Datie von Allmen operated a small family dairy and mobile park for 25 years in the Warren area.

Datie found time to join her friends for 30 years of bowling in both league play and fun filled tournament trips. There were also many camping trips to various places but her favorite were the trips to the coast to watch the waves and glorious sunsets. Datie was also well known for her beautifully decorated cakes, sewing projects including some amazing quilts and for her love of turquoise jewelry. She was so welcoming to whomever came by for a visit and was there and willing to listen and support anyone in need. She touched so many lives with her grace, dignity and compassion. Even though these past years she suffered with her own illness she was still there caring for her family and friends. We will forever be thankful for her gift that taught us how to show random acts of kindness and paying it forward whenever possible. Datie is survived by her husband (Fritz), married 59 years, sons Greg (Charlene) and Randy (Violet), grandchildren Kellie (Tony), Scotty (Heba), Geoff (April) and Elise, great grandchildren: Abigail, Henry, Holly, Michael Angelina and Jeremy. Family was everything to her. That and her love of Jesus. Rest in Peace. We know you are still looking over us. Just from another address high in heaven. Graveside services will be held by family only. Cowboy Robert “Bob” Clarence Usher Bob Usher who was a professional cowboy all his life passed away on June 7, 2014 in Bend. He was 83 years old. He was born in St. Helens, Ore., on September 26, 1930. Bob was on his own from the time he was 13 or 14 years old when he lost his mother, Lena Skinner Usher. There will be a memorial at 11 a.m. at the Longshoreman’s Hall, 617-14th Avenue, Longview Wash. Baird Funeral Home

of Bend made the final arrangements Bob Usher fit the descriptions of a in the book The American West which stated: “A cowboy is a man with guts and a horse” and “A cowboy has a personal dignity… a brusque Robert Usher sense of humor…courage and the capacity to endure hardship. Bob had guts, dignity, a sense of humor, courage and endurance of hardships all his life. He had three registered quarter horses the moment he left us. Bob raised himself in Columbia County. He started by working on farms and ranches and learned all aspects of ranching, handling horses and cattle and could rope and ride with the best of them. He never held just one job, but always worked full time and then in addition for years he rode the rodeo circuit. When he was 18 he was riding in rodeos all over the USA. He became a farrier and shod horses all over the country. He taught his sons to she horses and is a farrier now. Bob worked at all kinds of work but eventually became a longshoreman in Longview, Wash. He was always dependable and a hard worker and suffered many serious injuries while working on the ships. He got letters of commendation while he worked there from the ship owners for his dedicated and hard work as gang boss. Bob fathered 7 sons, 5 of whom are still alive. They are: James Usher of Brekenridge TX; and Danny Usher of Rainier, Jeremy Usher of Texas, Robert “Bobby” Usher of Topenah, Arizona and David Usher, Crooked River Ranch OR. All of Bob’s sons participated in rodeo and high school sports

of football and wrestling. They all excelled and some of them are still participating in rodeo. While living in Rainier Bob had horses including a Quarterhorse stallion named Quincy. Quincy fathered many fine horses. Bob kept and cared for another of his old stallions named Mr T Fritz who was toothless, over 30 years old until the horse died last year. Bob’s library is full of books by western writers and about western ways, and quarter horses. His house is full of pictures of rodeos, horses, cattle, his children and grandchildren. Bon never met a woman he did not like or admire and women loved his teasing ways. He has a cup in his windowsill where he sat every day for the past 18-plus years which says: “Let me live my life with fast horses and beautiful women and when I die I want them to take this old hide and make it into a lady’s saddle so that I’ll be between the 2 things I like best – fast horses and beautiful women”. Clifton P. Boutelle Clifton P. Boutelle passed from this life on May 24, in St. Helens. He had resided at Spring Meadows Assisted Living for the past year and half. He moved to St. Helens from Nampa, Id., to be near his daughter and son-in-law, Kathy and Terry King. Last June, his family came of Ohio, California, Washington and Oregon to celebrate his 100th birthday. He was born June 27, 1913 in Beverly, MA to Clifton Boutelle Katherine (Kearney) and Dr. Harry Boutelle, who died when Clifton was 2. He was raised by his mother who was a nurse in several New Eng-

land locations until settling in Hartford, Ct. He graduated from Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) In Pittsburgh, Pa., in 1936 with a degree in printing management. A skilled manager and problem solver, he enjoyed a career in the paper-making industry that spanned nearly 6 decades. His career began in Westbrook, Me., at the S. D. Warren Co., and in 1948 he became manager of Alliance Paper Mills Ltd., in Georgetown, Ont. Canada, where he helped develop a special kind of coated papers, called cast-coating, which had a very shiny surface, similar to a glossy photographic print and used in special printing applications. In 1953 he was offered a job as a manager of the Gardner Board and Carton (later Diamond Gardner) plant in Lockland, Oh., and the family moved to nearby Wyoming, Oh. In 1960 he took a position with Weyerhauser in Longview, Wa., and the family then moved there. He moved to Chicago in 1965 to be director of new product development and helped create coated cardboard containers used exclusively for milk, drinks and other liquids. He also established a plant in Des Plaines, III., that developed machinery to produce packaging for companies, like Oscar Meyer. He stayed with Weyerhauser until 1973. He then joined Crown-Zellerbach and later moved to Portland Or., as an engineer in the specialty coating division at a plant in North Portland. He stayed with Crown-Zellerbach until he retired in 1978. In 1979, he moved to Nampa, Id., where he did some consulting work for several companies and helped set up paper-making machinery in several plants in the United States and Brazil. Clifton is survived by his sons Clifton Jr., (Judy) of Bowling Green, Oh., Christopher (Lin) of Tacoma, Wa., William (Melissa) of Federal

In addition to free tickets, B&B will also provide teachers with free online curriculum guides that help incorporate the company’s theatrical work into the classroom, increasing the educational value of attending a show. The expansion of the program to include Yamhill, Columbia and Tillamook counties will provide access to theatre experiences for many students who live too far from metropolitan areas to attend performances. “Think about it this way,” said Palmer. “If you are a student in Vernonia, it is incredibly difficult to get into Portland to attend performing arts. The costs of tickets, travel, and time are simply too high. With PASSPORT, students from St. Helens, Vernonia, Carlton or Nehalem can cut the distance dramatically and get tickets to any show at no cost.” Funding for the PASSPORT expansion is provided by Bag&Baggage’s annual Gala Auction and Dinner, which held at Oakwood Gardens in Hillsboro on July 19 this year. “We raise tens of thousands of dollars each year to support our access programs,” said Mueller. “And this year is particularly important given how much bigger the PASSPORT program will be and how many more students are eligible.” Information on how to access the PASSPORT program and details on the 2014 Annual Gala can be found online at www.bagnbaggage.org.

HILLSBORO — For the past six years, Bag&Baggage Productions, Hillsboro’s resident professional theatre company, has been providing high school students in Washington County with free, on-demand tickets to the company’s innovative theatre productions. During that time, the TEN4ONE program has become one of the most successful and acclaimed performing arts access programs in the state. Funded by individual donations and grants from the PGE Foundation and The Standard Insurance, TEN4ONE has become an important way for students throughout Washington County to get access to professional theatre without the barriers of ticket price, enabling hundreds of students to experience the joys of live theatre for free. “Over the past few years, as the program has grown, we have received more and more requests from schools outside of Washington County,” said Scott Palmer, B&B’s Founding Artistic Director and the creator of the TEN4ONE program. “It was actually heartbreaking to hear from schools in Vernonia, Banks, Yamhill and Carlton who desperately wanted to bring their students to our shows but, because they were outside of Washington County, they weren’t eligible. So, we decided to change all that.” The new program, called PASSPORT: Any Student, Any Show, No Drama, will be a massive expansion of the free ticket program and will provide
