Head Start bids farewell to ‘School Bus Polly’ ST. HELENS — After more than three decades of driving for Columbia Pacific Head Start, Warren resident Polly Brown will soon trade in the keys to her little yellow school bus for the keys to her own little green Volkswagen bug. “School Bus Polly,” as the kids like to call her, has been the Head Start bus driver for the past 31 years, making her a familiar face to not only local kids, but their parents, too. On Friday, she will drive her last bus route before embarking on a new journey — retirement. When she first started her job, Polly remembers driving a van to pick up the kids and bring them to old the Bachelor Flat school, where Head Start was located before moving next door to McBride School. A couple years later, she took on a second responsibility in the parent involvement aspect of Head Start. “Then we got a new bus in 1990, I think,” she remembers. “And I’ve drove that since that time. For 20-some years, it’s been my ride up and down the highway.” While she says the roads haven’t changed much during the duration of her career, Polly remembers times when she was able to do more than transport children to and from school. She explains, “If there were people out of firewood, my center manager and I would go pick up wood … Now, they don’t do that, but back then we would do that. We’d bring a gallon of milk to a family, I’ve done that. I went and helped them clean their house. We’d bring them leftover food. I mean there was a lot of things that we did that we don’t even think about doing now.” “The important thing that I think about Head Start is it isn’t just about the kids, you know? I feel like I relish the value of the kids to the point where it nourished me and caused me to grow as a person, but the parent is the one in a lot of need at that time.” Polly adds, “We had a center for parents to come by and have a cup of coffee, talk See POLLY, Page A3

Concert series to kick off 10th year BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@cntrymedia.net

The St. Helens High School jazz band will take the gazebo stage at Columbia View Park to kick off the Thirteen Nights on the River concert series on Thursday. Perhaps it’s fitting that musicians representing SHHS open the 10th year of the popular Thursday night concert series. It was built for them. In 2004 a group of citizens, city parks personnel and music buffs created a vision of a rustic amphitheater – someplace for the high school alumni band to perform during July 4th festivities on the waterfront. The original amphitheater received broad and enthusiastic support, which prompted its designer, Larry Buzbee, to optimistically proclaim the project could be completed by July 4.

Rainier High School student, Dylan Lane, is interviewed by a television news crew Friday morning. Fellow student NaythanTaylor and Lane attracted media attention when they said they were suspended from school after Taylor reported to the administration that Lane was being bullied.

Rainier bullying incident becomes center of news media storm BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

RAINIER — Two Rainier High School students are attracting national media attention after a student says he reported that his friend was being bullied and both of them received suspensions. RHS senior Naythan Taylor was at home on suspension last week after he says he reported to school officials that his friend, 15-year-old Dylan Lane, was being bullied to the point of having suicidal thoughts. According to Lane, it all started when he and his friends were talking at their lunch table and an 18-yearold RHS student accused them of talking about her. Lane stated that they were not talking about her, to which she called them derog-

atory names and threatened to punch Lane in the mouth. After the altercation, the boys say the girl posted a posted a photo of Lane on her Instagram account, where she called him derogatory names, wrote about wanting to punch him, and added “… all he can do is call the cops he can’t even stick up for himself…” The boys say she also wrote a statement encouraging Lane to kill himself. According to Taylor, the post spread quickly around school and other students began posting insulting comments, including one student who claimed they had seen Lane’s genitals. Lane says students began circulating a photo of what was alleged to be Lane’s genitals, but Lane says the photo is fake. Taylor says it got so out of hand that Lane was contem-

plating suicide. “That day was hard for me,” says Lane, who witnessed the same girl bully another student before. “I had suicidal thoughts.” “He made comments about self-harming himself and that’s what worried me the most, that’s why I pursued the issue,” Taylor explains. “I can’t understand why someone would do that to someone, she’s taken it too far,” Taylor says. “The kid said that he was going to kill himself and that’s the last thing you want. I just told him, ‘It’s not worth it, think about your mom and all of us that care about you.’” Both boys say the reported the photo and its comments to school counselor Erin Fox and principal Graden Blue several times and were told to “drop it and

go back to class.” “I told [Blue], ‘I’m being bullied and she’s telling me to kill myself’,” Lane explains. “Just telling [Lane] ‘Don’t worry about it’ all day long as people are chirping and commenting on the picture still and all that stuff, in a small school, everybody knows,” Taylor explains. “And some of the things that were said were absolutely ridiculous for him to have to live with for the rest of his life. I couldn’t even imagine.” In the end, the boys say the girl who posted the photo was suspended. But in an unexpected turn, Taylor says he was also suspended from school. Statements released from See BULLYING, Page A2

As the project evolved, competing visions for what the amphitheater should look like, red tape and funding problems stretched opening day nearly a year, but on June 2, 2005, opening ceremonies declared the new amphitheater on the river ready for all to use. A barbershop quartet from Portland was the inaugural act of a new concert series, Thirteen Nights on the River, conceived to promote the venue and provide summer entertainment in the beautiful new park. The headliner that first night was a locally popular rock ‘n roll band, The Weiners. “The goal was to put Columbia View Park to use,” remembers St. Helens City Councilor, Keith Locke.

Burglaries plague St. Helens residents BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@cntrymedia.net

Law enforcement in Columbia County is busy with a rash of burglaries. According to Sheriff Jeff Dickerson, CCSO deputies investigated 20 burglaries and thefts in the county during the month of May. He said city police departments were investigating additional cases. Dickerson displayed a map of the St. Helens area with markers indicating the location of recent thefts. The thefts appear mostly concentrated along Sykes and Gable Roads from Highway 30 to East Kappler Road in the St. Helens area. Dickerson said the burglaries mostly happen during the day, when people are away at work or school. The thieves kick in a door or climb through a window to gain entry to the home, he said.

DON PATTRSON / The Chronicle

Looking for clues: CCSO deputies plot recent burglaries on a map, looking for a pattern that might yield clues as to who is responsible for the recent string of burglaries in St. Helens.

“They usually go after jewelry, guns, cash and coins. [They are} not taking a whole lot at any one place.” In some cases, the thieves go after tools or equipment left unattended outside. Almost all the thefts have occurred at residences. Sheriff’s deputies “have scheduled extra patrols in the areas most affected,” Dickerson said. “To date we have no solid suspects, but continue to work in conjunction with the City of St. Helens Police Department, on developing a strategic plan to solve these crimes,” Dickerson believes it is the work of a group of guys. “We’re definitely disturbed by it.” The Sheriff is asking that any citizen with any information about these crimes or anyone who might know the perpetrators call the CCSO tip line at 503-366-4698. Calls are anonymous.

BULLYING: Shedding light on bullying to save a life before it’s too late From PAGE A1 the school district state that Taylor was suspended for “disruption to school, profanity, and impeding the investigation.” Lane says he was also suspended and has been told he might be expelled, but he says he hasn’t been given a reason why. Lane says, “I don’t want to get expelled. I don’t think I should be suspended because I was the one getting bulled, and I think the school board needs change, honestly.” “I don’t understand it,” Taylor continues. “Why promote non-bullying, stepping up and telling some-

body and then when you step up and tell somebody, you get punished for it? Especially when there’s a life at stake. … You need to act instead of think, that’s how I feel about it.” On Friday, some RHS students organized a protest in response to Lane and Taylor’s suspensions. In a letter to parents dated June 2, Rainier School District Superintendent Michael Carter wrote, “The situation on Friday arose because students had been told through social media that a fellow student had been suspended for reporting bullying. This was not true; the student had been suspended for viola-

tion of the student conduct code. Many students returned to their classes after the protest was over, and we appreciate their polite demonstration of protest and awareness raising. Still other students continued to protest, and there was disruption to the learning environment. The disruption was largely the creation of the media, who chose to respond when they were hearing only one side of the story. Students who skipped class and were insubordinate but were not yet suspended will be attended to throughout the week as their identifications have been made. “When students report

bullying, their concerns are taken seriously and are investigated. Sometimes the cases are made difficult because there are exchanges on social media that make bullying even more difficult to track and stop. When threats of suicide are made, the students are offered services including free mental health therapy and emergency intervention. We cannot share the details of services offered to specific students – even to their concerned friends – without violating student privacy and state and federal laws.” Though his story has already spread to numerous media outlets in Washington and Oregon and even caught

the attention of Lars Larson and CNN, Taylor says his actions are about shedding a light on bullying to save a life before it’s too late. He added, “I think now that I said something about this, now there will be a lot of people saying stuff in the future about bullying at our school, too, because it’s a problem. It’s a bigger issue than people take it to be.” In a statement Taylor posted on Facebook, he explained, “I am speaking out for those kids who have succeeded in suicide and I refuse to stand by and let another death happen. I am appalled that I am receiving a punishment for attempting to keep another student

from taking his own life. I want to make it clear I am not doing this for publicity or for a hatred towards my punishment, I am doing this for future kids who may have no one there to stop them from making the biggest mistake of their lives and everyone around them not being able to help them because they will get in trouble for bringing the serious and dangerous matter to light. I am not the only student in this school that is furious about the lack of concern when it comes to their students and their safety. After all is it not our schools job to create a safe and learning environment for the students.”

PCC donates 85 computers and more to Vernonia schools VERNONIA – The Vernonia School District has a new school for its K-12 classes, but it still has old computers in its labs and for its staff. That is, until Portland Community College stepped in with a donation of newer equipment. Staff from PCC’s Rock Creek Campus delivered more than $17,000 worth of used computers and LCD flat screens to the Vernonia School District on Thursday, May 29. The donation of technology (worth more than $75,000 brand new three years ago) by PCC will go toward upgrading the school district’s computer labs for the students and equipment used by staff and teachers. In total, staff trucked 85 Dell Optiplex 760 computers and 47 17-inch LCD flat panel monitors and keyboards to the rebuilt K-12 school on Missouri Avenue. Vernonia Superintendent Ken Cox said the donation was a welcome sight as most of his computers at the school are more than five years old. The technology will be up and running by this fall when school starts. In the meantime Vernonia staff will work to format and upgrade the

software on each computer. “This is a fantastic addition to our district,” said Cox, who rolled up his sleeves and helped PCC staff unload the computers into the second floor library for processing. “This is going to help us meet the needs of the children and keep us up to speed with the technology. We appreciate PCC making this happen. This is really a big boon for us. It’s going to be good.” This donation has been a long time in the making. In November, State Rep. Brad Witt discussed the need for newer computer equipment for Vernonia at the Columbia County Economic Team breakfast. Janis Nichols, community relations manager for Rock Creek Campus, heard about what he said and took his words to heart. Nichols said she knew that as a result of the college’s bond renovation of the campus’ Building 7 that there would be surplus computers available. Rock Campus Technology Solutions Services got involved, but how many computers and what kind needed were still undetermined. Craig Londraville, the campus’ technology services manager, stepped in

and developed a game plan to provide Vernonia with the college’s Dell computers that were still under warranty. Often on days off, Rock Creek’s TSS team prepared these computers for delivery to Vernonia while simultaneously installing more than 100 new computers for summer classes at Rock Creek. Central Distribution Services packed the PCC truck and it arrived mid-morning on May 29 at Vernonia’s new K-12 school to deliver the goods to excited staff and students. “My team was very excited to help with this donation and saw it as an opportunity to support our community,” Londraville said. “They took the extra time to make sure the computers and monitors were in good working order and had the same operating system. They also realized that we should send extra computers for parts. My team went well beyond expectations to make this donation to Vernonia happen.” In 2007, heavy storms washed out roads and destroyed homes and infrastructure, including ruining the old K-12 school on Bridge Street. In 2009, Vernonia School District

voters approved a $13 million bond to build a new K-12 school up on Missouri Avenue away from the Nehalem, eventually opening in the fall of 2012. But the district didn’t have the resources to upgrade its technology until PCC stepped in to assist with its donation. “We knew there would be new equipment purchased for the reconstructed Building 7 classrooms at Rock Creek and we promised to keep Vernonia in our thoughts as we traded up,” Nichols said. “We re-opened Building 7 on March 10 and we delivered the surplus computers to Vernonia 11 weeks later. We were thrilled to be able to do it.”

POLLY: ‘I just think I had a perfect job’ From PAGE A1

about their needs, or just if they needed help to get them through the day. … If they needed help to push the car out of the ditch, you went and helped them push the car out of the ditch. That’s just something you did; this was your life. You’d go home rewarded because you did something for somebody – plus picking those kids up and loving those kids every day.” When she started her job, Polly transported 36 kids. Nowadays, Head Start, an agency of Community Action Team, has approximately 80 kids. But no matter how many there are, Polly enjoys every single one. “You can’t even believe some of the stuff they say,” she smiles. “That’s another thing, you carry a lot of that with you, what they say, because a lot of the time they do only say it to me. They don’t share it with other people. There’s stuff that they don’t share with them that they will share with me — sometimes good or bad. “You can’t even imagine how they are,” Polly says of the Head Start kids. “They’re just great. They don’t fight you or holler at you, if they know you like they know me. And if I say something, they respond. I just think I had a perfect job, I do. I really think it was the perfect job. I never had any complaints with the people in charge, so I guess I’m all right!” In between her routes, Polly has stepped in wherever she was needed, from doing dishes and answering the phone to playing with the kids. “And talking to people, I do a lot of talking,” she adds. “I’m a talker!” Over the years, Polly says she enjoyed helping the children’s parents and watching them grow. At 70 years old, Polly says she doesn’t always remember a student’s name or face, but they always remember her. Recently, she bumped into a family that had four people who had been students on Polly’s bus. “Those are now the type of people I’m bumping into now — I am now hauling [former students] kids or grandkids,” she says with a laugh. “When

you look back, that’s pretty neat. Another thing is that you can see the different growths within those people and how you have helped them.” She continues, “I think that says a lot for what went on here, how they were treated and stuff. … Whenever you want to go back to someplace, it’s [dependent upon] how they are treated. I think they come here, they see that people love them and care for them, and do step out and do what they can for them.” Polly says she also learned things at Head Start that she applied when raising her own three children. “All along the way, it was a fun thing for me and a growing experience for me,” she explains. “That’s part of the

love that you have for those people and working with those people. … I think I learned more than they did! “Wage and pay was not my motivation, money was not the angle for me. It’s what I got out of it. I thought it was a job you want to do forever. I enjoyed it and I will always enjoy it. I think the program is a wonderful, wonderful program — probably one of the best in the country, this little institution right here. It’s wonderful. It’s got all kinds of good information and good people in it. It has anything you want right here. If you want to better yourself and educate yourself, even a divorce class, they even run one of them out here. “All in all, it’s been real rewarding for me to be a part

Kindergarten students get ‘first book’ All kindergarten-aged children in St. Helens schools received a “first book” thanks to a donation from the Kiwanis Club of St. Helens. On May 30, representatives of the club set up a table at Lewis and Clark School to give new books to every student. “The books are theirs to keep,” said Kiwanian Bill Eagle, who helped hand out

the books. Each child was allowed to choose a book from the selection. The club has been doing the book giveaway for 10 to 12 years according to Eagle. Last year, they expanded the program to all kindergarteners at all the schools. About 220 children will receive the books. Kiwanis raises funds throughout the year to pay for the cost of the books,

which they get at a discount from Powell’s Books in Portland. Claudia Eagle heads up the first book program for the St. Helens club. A former schoolteacher, Claudia Eagle says she sees the value in providing a book to every child. The club also gives dictionaries to third graders and provides books for the food and gift baskets distributed by Holiday Hope.

of this,” she says. “It’s been a great thing for me.” Polly’s coworkers say it is hard to imagine Head Start without her. “We can find someone to fill her place, but we will not find somebody to fill her shoes,” says Head Start Center Manager Julie Catt. “Obviously, you cannot spend the time with program like she has and not believe in what you’re doing, and that’s one of the things I so appreciated about her. She’s been here long enough to see the program go through the changes we have had to do at the state and federal level, and she has stayed because she believes in what it can do for families and the kids. And I think that shows when you see her interact with

the kids and their families.” “Polly has been a great staff person, an asset to the St. Helens center, and provided great transportation over the years and just been a positive team member to work with the staff and work with the families,” says Child and Family Development Programs Director Joyce Ervin. “I feel very fortunate for working for Head Start for the past five years and I feel so fortunate to work with Polly,” states Head Start cook Katie Jones. “She is so kind, so caring, and so giving that we will miss her, I will miss her. She’s what’s made our days go around.” Polly says of her decision to retire, “I think it’s time, I just knew. The Lord put me

in this job and I feel it’s time for me to go, time to walk off and do something else. … I’m content with it, I know the Lord put me here and he said he’d close the door when it’s time and I just felt this year is a good time. It’s a good time to go.” During her retirement, Polly says she will continue to clean houses in her spare time, visit her sisters, and spend time with her family. As for the driver that will be taking her place, she says they will need to enjoy children and driving, and be careful, honest and well-rested. When it comes to her little yellow bus, she quips, “I don’t know what they’re going to do, the bus is getting about as old as me!”

Citizens speak out against proposed RSIA BY AMANDA FRINK news@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — As the Port of St. Helens works on an application to receive a regionally significant industrial area (RSIA) designation, residents took the opportunity to speak against the proposal at the May 28 Board of Columbia County Commissioners meeting. An RSIA is a designation for industrial areas that offers a streamlined permitting process as a way to develop the land and create jobs. Resident Paulette Lichatowich provided the board with information on Lane County’s RSIA that was certified by the Economic Recovery Review Council, as well as a petition of signatures from residents asking the commissioners to vote “no” on the resolution that supports the RSIA in Columbia County. “The port touts this project as being a good example of the process under SB 766, however there are some problems with the site,” she explained. “The people are upset because the ERRC and the county did not do due diligence and now the taxpayers, once again, have to pay for their lack of due diligence. There’s not adequate sewer for the site, now a feasibility study must be done and dumping fees are

being increased for the site. “What is it in the port’s vision for Columbia County that requires the use of SB 766?” asked Lichatowich. “The port should explain that to you in detail.” Danner Christensen spoke about Envision Columbia County’s stance on the RSIA application. “We are a group of ordinary citizens that are deeply concerned about the stewardship of our entire county,” said Christensen. “You can think of that stewardship as a circle divided into a equal number of pieces. Safety is one piece; jobs, growth and industry is another piece; quality of our life here; auspices of local businesses; preserving what we are fortunate to have in nature; and the consideration of what we are going to leave for our children and grandchildren are all equal of that stewardship circle. It appears to us that given decisions lately by our elected officials in the county that … the growth, jobs and industry piece of that stewardship circle seems to be trumping all the other pieces that are involved in responsible stewardship of this place that we love. It appears that we’re going to promote any industry, any job, at any risk, or certainly without adequate consideration of what the true risks are. We don’t see concrete evidence that these other slices of the

stewardship circle are receiving the equal consideration that they deserve and that we expect. On another note, we are all disturbed because we don’t hear any proactive discussion amongst our elected officials about what will more than likely be coming down those railroad tracks in the future. Oil corporations are lobbying strenuously in D.C. to overturn the export oil ban. Should they succeed, we will look upon these days of only a dozen trains a month as the good old days.” Christensen said he had met with Commissioner Henry Heimuller on April 15 to discuss his concerns about Columbia Pacific Biorefinery and Global Partners’ liability insurance for human injury, property damage and environmental damage. Heimuller said the board had drafted a letter to Global Partners, but that it had not been sent. Bill Allen said he has an issue with Port Westward’s transshipment of hydrocarbons. “Why we would facilitate something that a vast majority of the world’s scientists say we should be running away from is beyond me,” said Allen. “Thank you for your concern,” Heimuller responded. “And I just want to remind my colleagues and yourself, as well. You’ve brought this to our attention; we have our

staff working on this day in and day out. This is not something that is going past our radar in any way. We’re very concerned about making sure that all the decisions we make are appropriate, as well. And a lot of that has to do with citizen input, and like I said, our folks are working on it all the time.” Commissioner Earl Fisher later added, “We had a comment earlier in this meeting concerning about public safety in general and the role of elected officials, perhaps suggesting that we take other portions of our livability more importantly than we do public safety, and I would heartily disagree with that. Those people that think that the job growth is trumping everything needs to understand that those of us who are elected officials, whenever we look at any of these, the number one issue we always begin with is can we do this safely. And to assume we do not, I think is a disservice to every elected official in this county.” Heimuller agreed, “I think people forget about the fact that we are elected to represent the county and that’s everyone in the county; we listen to everyone in the county. But more importantly, we also raise our children in the county. We live in the county. We’ve been here for a long, long time in many cases, and nobody wants an

unsafe neighborhood or any polluted waters or air or anything else. We all live here, too. This is our community, this is our home. And we hear that often that we don’t care about any of that kind of stuff and I would challenge that nobody has any more passion around that than the three folks sitting at this table, among all of our elected colleagues, whether volunteer or paid.” In other business, the board held a public hearing on the Columbia County Supplemental Budget for Fiscal Year 2014-2015. County finance director Jennifer Cuellar-Smith reported that two funds — the fair fund and the transit fund — require supplemental activity because the change in their budget requests exceed 10 percent. The board approved position and personnel amendments to the Columbia County Enforcement Ordinance and authorized the chair to sign a full reconveyance for John Trent. Columbia County chief planner Glen Higgins and assistant county counsel Robin McIntyre presented petition to name a private road at the end of Five Peaks Terrace in Scappoose. The petition offered three names for the road, which extends into county lands where a developer is building new houses. Planning staff recommended

the commissioners deny the request due to the fact that the private road extends directly from Five Peaks Terrace and would create confusion if it were named differently. Commissioners denied the application and voted to name the new portion of road Five Peaks Terrace. During commissioner reports, Fisher stated, “I’d like to thank the citizens of the county for passing our jail levy. It’s an extremely important thing — the most important thing that has been done in many years. Again, thank you to our folks that worked on it.” Commissioner Tony Hyde added, “Thank you to the citizenry for passing this levy for three years, funding of the jail and I’ll reiterate again that it’s incumbent upon us now in the next three years to find a better solution for continued operation of that facility. And we have heard now that this is a systemic issue, not only with the state of Oregon, but across the landscape of this country. and we have to find a different way, because this is too important of an issue to be relying upon three-year serial levies. It’s just something that need be a foundation of what we do collectively in this country. That’s why we have public policy, government exists because we do things collectively that we cannot do individually.”

Letters Too much greed It’s hard for me to understand why we allow so many people to be homeless in America? All because of greed and selfishness. Some people are not able to pay more than $200 a month for rent plus utilities. Veterans who have fought for our country are homeless. Why? We have people that work for minimum wage who are tax paying citizens who are homeless or are living on government programs, all because of greed and too much credit. I believe that we could and should, cut down on all the government programs by allowing our working tax paying citizens to be able to live on their income. We have people who live on social security that can’t afford to rent or pay their bills. Do we really need to be that greedy and selfish all because of too much credit and paying too much for property. We need to let people live as Americans and not live as a number for the government, so that all out taxes don’t go to the ones who could and should be supporting themselves! If we weren’t so greedy on housing and utilities, more people would be more self motivated to support themselves. We really need less government help. Raising wages and paying more benefits is not going to solve these problems it’s only going to make things worse and more homeless. It’s at the point where why should anyone work when we could all live off the government. American’s spend your money wisely, and save what you can and have less credit. Ken Samson Clatskanie Bad For St. Helens On one hand has a grand vision for our waterfront while across town there are proponents who want to “mine” a 5+ acre bluff near 2 schools. This “mining” is against our city codes. The residential area I am referencing is North 10th and 11th between Columbia Blvd., and West St., nicknamed Jack Ass Canyon. Many of the children that attend the St. Helens Middle School & Lewis & Clark Grade School walk through this area going to & from school. Approximately 70,000 truckloads of rock & dirt will be travelling these streets. That is NO mistake! 70,000 truckloads will be hauled over city street, many without sidewalks or crossings during a 1 to 2 year time frame. In addition to the safety concerns with the added traffic we must also thing of the NOISE and DUST! The noise will

be from blasting and heavy equipment day in and day out. The dust from a “mining” operation will contain silica, which is a known carcinogen. Please help put a stop to this by letting your concerns be known to the City of St. Helens. For more information check the website nomininginsthelens.com Attend the next planning commission meeting at city hall on June 10th at 7:00 p.m. Don Parrett Columbia City Why don’t more people vote? I was disappointed that no one has addressed the apathy of the Columbia County voters. It is unbelievable that with issues such as the Jail Levy and the CRF&R measure aroused only 43.8% of the registered voters. 56.3% didn’t bother to mail their ballots. This doesn’t eve count the qualified voters who do not even register to vote! (These percentages may have changed since first reported but they still make the point.) In the national elections in 2012 only 58.5% of all Oregon voters voted in that election. Pres. Obama won the election with just 28% of the national eligible voters. That means that 72% of the remaining eligible voters either didn’t vote, didn’t register or voted for other candidates. More alarming is that of the total voting age population, 61,854,921 didn’t bother to even register. Romney only lost by 5 million votes. Did you know that Barack Obama won the popular vote with 65,917, 258 votes? And Romney had 60,932,235? What does that tell you? Two thirds of voting age voters did not vote for Pres. Obama. Now this is not intended to bash Pres. Obama because no matter what you think of the job he has done over the past years is nothing compared to the apathy that the American voters display about elections, over all. In 2012 Wisconsin had the highest registered voter turn out of 69.3% and only eight other states had turn-outs in the 60% range. This information can be see at http://elections.gmu.edu/ Turnout_2012G.html and http://uselectionsatlas.org/ RESULTS/national.php I may have a few percentages off a bit but the point of voter apathy is obvious. It encourages persons to run who do have our country’s best interest at heart. They only have to convince 30% of the voters to win. That’s an issue for another day. What does all this have to do with our little elections in Columbia County? Well, how would the results of the Heimuller and Mayo race be if more voters vot-

ed? After all there was only a 63 vote split between the two. One race separated the nominees by 2 votes? How about the Jail and the CRF&R issues? They won and lost by just a few votes. The differences may have changed after verifying all the unsigned votes. Now, I do understand there are valid reasons why some did not vote so my comments are not directed at them. Freedom is not free, there is a horrible price being paid for this freedom, even today. On Memorial Day we honored those that made it possible for us to be free. Brave men and women sacrificed everything that had or ever would have for you and me. They are buried in small plots in many of the countries they fought to free. A plot of ground to bury out dead is all this great country ever asked for when the fighting was over. They died, we lived, and we have no right to claim the torch of freedom that they passed to us, through their sacrifice, if we do not live up to our responsibility to keep it burning. The elections held this past week in Columbia County will be little noticed, nationally. After all it only involved a few local budget issues and some ambitious citizens who want to serve their community. I applaud them all. I don’t want to hear one person complain, who did not vote or register, about this or that elected official or levy or bond issue. They abdicated that right to do so because they let others decide who would be elected and how much their property taxes would be and all other issues decided by their elected officials. They will have to live under the rules and pay the taxes others decide, like it or not. But, can you blame it all on apathy, I don’t think so. Many have just given up; they don’t think they matter anymore, long term unemployment and a dysfunctional Government from top to bottom leaves them feeling important. But I would implore them to use the most power they have and that is to vote. If you don’t like any of the issues or candidates then write in a name. Or send in a blank ballot. This sends a message of your dissatisfaction loud and clear. These negative votes will increase the number of voters and to those running and sponsoring Levies, bond issues and laws will hear you. Call or write your local officials, State and US Representatives, Senators and the President and let them know you are here and not just someone too lazy to vote. To do less is self-immolation. To be American you just

have to meet certain criteria, among them are, were you born here or gained citizenship through legal immigration and so on. Yes, being American is one thing but being an American carries the responsibility of preserving this great nation, The United States of America and all it stands for, every single day. Al Palmer St. Helens PCC forum an opportunity Portland Community College will host two open forums to determine what programs should be offered in the proposed PCC center here in Columbia County. They are Tuesday, June 10, at 6:30 p.m. in the Scappoose High School library and Wednesday, June 11, at 6:30 p.m. in the St. Helens High School library. These open discussions are designed to give the people who live and work in Columbia County an opportunity to talk about their educational needs and aspirations. For people who desire a college degree and for those who seek noncredit classes for personal growth and enjoyment, this is your chance to influence course offerings at the new 2008-bond funded center planned to open in 2017. In addition to these two forums, the college will also meet with local employers to learn what opportunities might exist for workforce development. We know the demand is there. The welding classes PCC now offers at St. Helens High School have been well received. Dual enrollment classes, where high school students

earn college credit for free, also indicate a strong desire for advanced study. Last fall in Columbia County, 1,216 students enrolled in 7,007 classes at PCC for an average of six classes per year per student. For students and their families, Dual Enrollment resulted in a savings of more than $59,000. It is obvious that whenever the opportunity to learn has been presented, the citizens of Columbia County have responded with enthusiasm. The PCC center will only enhance what is currently available. Please join us at one or both of these forums. State Senator Betsy Johnson Scappoose This has got to be some kind of joke. Right? The St. Helens City Council is actually considering allowing a mining company to blow up a rock hill in the very middle of the city - a hill that is totally surrounded with homes and two schools. So, of course, it has to be some kind of joke. Well, unfortunately, this is not the case. Back in the 1960s and earlier, many of you might remember a fellow by the name of Joe Watson who lived on top of that rock hill with his mules. This area was commonly known then as Jackass Canyon. It is a colorful part of our history. Many of you most likely played along the creek bed and in the wetlands in this canyon. The creek and wetland are still there. According to the Corporation Division of the Oregon Department of Justice, this land is now

owned by a fellow from Beverly Hills, California. Now, how do you suppose a person from Beverly hills heard about a little hill in St. Helens, Oregon? There must be some kind of local connection but whoever is involved locally is hiding their head because this is a really bad thing to do to these people making their homes in Jackass Canyon. Supposedly the owner wants to take this hill down 18 feet below grade so that it can be filled with trash and slag from another rock mining operation on Hankey Road and then build homes on top of it. The hill is comprised of primarily basalt rock which is at a premium on the market and that, flat out, is what they want. Can you even imagine the blasting, rocks flying and hundreds of trucks in one neighborhood? These citizens in this area of our city have been living under this dark cloud of possible intrusion by a mining operation for several years now. The City continues to pussyfoot around the high priced attorneys hired by an out-of-state owner. The City needs to make it clear, once and for all, that this is not going to happen now and it will never happen in the future simply because it is morally reprehensible. Notwithstanding the rules and regulations, which the City Council claims they must adhere to, they also have a moral obligation to the citizens of this town and is is time they stand up and say -ENOUGH!!!

CONCERTS: Summer music fest features new acts

From PAGE A1

was deeply involved in the early years of Thirteen Nights, was certain about one guiding principle, “We talked about it a lot, we always intended to have it [the concerts] free.” Locke credits local residents John and Donna Nyberg for helping arrange many of the early performers. John Nyberg, Locke said, knew all the jazz players in Portland. “They were all John’s buddies,” Many of those early performers agreed to come to the outdoor venue on a Thursday night at half price, or free, Locke said. It gave the concert series a decidedly jazz flavor. It soon became apparent to organizers that a more formal legal structure was necessary, according to Locke. Fundraisers were asking for donations from local businesses and individuals, but without nonprofit status, so donations were not tax deductable. “Groups were also coming to the us to use the City’s insurance to cover their events,” he said, “and we wanted to help them.” They formed the St. Helens Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization to provide the services and tax-deductibility. The City of St. Helens has helped the Foundation and Thirteen Nights almost every year, according to Locke, by providing insurance or buying sound equipment. “I would really like to see Thirteen Nights become self sufficient.” For Thirteen Nights, that probably means fundraising from local businesses or maybe charging admission to future concerts. “Going out and getting sponsorships is a tough job,” Locke said, “Nobody likes to do it.” And the organization

from out of the local area. Sullivan said the group plans a VIP night at the July 17 concert, with prime seating, free drinks and dinner. It’s an exclusive offer costing $25 per ticket with only 50 tickets available. “It’s another way to raise funds,” she said. Thirteen Nights has steadily grown since its inception in 2005. Opening

may be well on its way to doing just that. “This year we’ve raised over $21,000, the most ever,” said the event’s director, Christina Sullivan. Since Sullivan took over as the organization’s leader, Thirteen Nights has increased its efforts to raise funds. This year, a new vendor, Crater Lake Vodka, provided a much needed sponsorship

Texting 9-1-1, not in Oregon The ability to send a text message to 9-1-1 is a step closer to reality, but not yet available in Oregon. The Federal Communications Commission set May 15 as the deadline for mobile carriers to implement changes that allow consumers to text to 9-11. The technology required to take advantage of this change is not available in Oregon. If you send a text to 9-1-1 today,

you’ll receive a ‘bounce back’ message indicating texting is not available and asking you to make a voice call to 9-1-1 according to Steve Watson, Public Information Officer for Columbia 9-1-1. “Emergency communications professionals recognize the ability to text a message to 9-1-1 would be useful in some situations such as providing additional accessibility for the

speech and hearing impaired,” Watson said. The State of Oregon 9-1-1 program is currently planning to upgrade its infrastructure, but until it does, texting remains unavailable. “When text to 9-1-1 becomes available in Oregon, it will be on a statewide basis,” he said. Until that time, Watson said, “It’s voice first in Oregon.”

night in 2013 saw a crowd of some 5,000 people jam Columbia View Park. Attendance often tops 3,000 at the weekly series. “Thirteen Nights has the potential to become the hotspot,” Sullivan claims. “ We’re just going to keep getting bigger and better.” Since those early years, the music has gotten more diverse. This year features

Stone in Love, a tribute band to the rock megagroup Journey; Whiskey Union, a raw honky-tonk style country band; Rambleon, a Led Zepplin tribute band with a lead singer who eerily resembles Robert Plant; and Get Ahead, a soul group. Sullivan and Locke both credit the success of the event to its volunteers. “We

have awesome volunteers right now,” Sullivan said. “It wouldn’t happen without them.” Volunteers are needed to help with setup, cleanup and to man the information booth. If you’d like to become a part of the Thirteen Nights family of volunteers, email Christina at christina.13nights@ gmail.com.

Columbia City one of the best cities for homeownership As part of its state-by-state series, consumer advocacy site NerdWallet has analyzed the federal data and found the best places for homeownership in Oregon — and Columbia City ranked fourth. NerdWallet gathered data for 150 Oregon cities with at least 2,000 residents and analyzed each city to determine the availability of homes, and the city’s affordability and population growth. Maggie Clark, analyst with NerdWallet, explains, “We use the homeownership rate because it tells you how many are owned rather than rented and we chose that because a high level of homeowners is a sign of more community stability, that people are investing in that community and staying longer.” Using information from the 2012 census, they found that Columbia City has an 83.5 percent homeownership rate with median home values coming in at $246,600. Columbia City boasted a population of 2,147 at the time of the census, but also saw

20.3 percent population growth from 2010 to 2012. “Columbia City did really well on population growth, pretty well on home ownership rates, and not really well on affordability, but good,” Clark says. “The standard of affordability is 30 percent, so you shouldn’t be spending more than 30 percent on home costs, and that standard is a standard from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, it’s a rule of thumb.” Clark says their analysis is “a good way to see how cities compare to each other, and it serves as a starting point for local conversations as to why these things are the way they are.” “Based on our findings, homebuyers looking for affordable homes in stable communities should seek out Oregon’s small towns and Portland suburbs,” Clark concludes. “Ten of the top 20 places are within commuting distance of Portland.” The cities that ranked ahead of Columbia City were Gervais, Chenoweth and Canyonville.
