Columbia County Fair, a family affair
CODY MANN/The Chronicle
Columbia County Fair officials say the rodeo is one of the big attractions at the annual event in St. Helens.
BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
The 2016 Columbia County Fair opens at 10 a.m. on July 20 for a five-day run at the Columbia County Fairgrounds at 58892 Saulser Road in St. Helens. Fair Board member Mike Warren said the fair continues to be a popular summertime event for families.
“Our attendance last year was 31,000,” he said. The year before that the attendance was 28,000, so we are growing each year.” Warren said folks come to the fair to enjoy the old fashioned experience. “It’s more like going back in the past where everyone is laid back,” he said. “A lot of people want to go back the way it used to be, where you go and see old friends you haven’t seen in a year. We
have many folks, even the vendors, that keep coming back each summer.” Warren said one of the main fair attractions is the rodeo. “The rodeo is the big draw,” he said. “People like the rodeo and they like the junior rodeo which is on Thursday. We get a lot of entries for the junior rodeo. It is a big part of the draw.” Warren said the Columbia County Fair Board works to
improve the fair every summer so that it is an enjoyable experience for all. “We have been trying to bring back the Future Farmers of America,” he said. “But they’ve told us they don’t have a teacher yet. As soon as they do get a teacher, we hope to have the FAA kids back.” The fair is purposely designed to attract children and their families. Warren, who volunteers his time to help coordinate the fair,
said he does it for the children. “I like the fact that I am helping the kids,” he said. “I want to do this for the kids. If the fair went away they would have nothing do to.” Warren said the fair offers local children the opportunity to learn through hands-on projects. “This way they have something to keep them off the street and they

Windermere Foundation donates protective vest to K-9 BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
The Windermere Foundation raised funds to purchase a protective vest for Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) K-9 Lars. The vest is designed to protect against bullets and bladed weapons, and will be worn while tracking during high-risk calls. George Hafeman, owner of Windermere St. Helens Real Estate, said the idea for the K-9 vest was brought up by Pam Rensch and Jayne Sawyer, and after seeing Lars
in the newspaper, Hafeman thought it would be a great idea. Hafeman’s own dog of 15 years recently passed, and he also thought doing something nice for another dog would bring some good feelings. According to Hafeman, the protective vest cost around $3,700. Deputy Ryan Dews said the vest is lighter than most, 10-12 pounds instead of the typical 20 pounds, making it easier for the 70-pound Belgian Malinois to wear without compromising as much endurance in trade for protection. Dews noted that Lars has made 14 captures
out of 19 incidents since his arrival. Lars also is deployed in the Columbia County Jail for security purposes occasionally. According to CCSO, Lars originally came from Czechoslovakia. He was imported to the United States in October of 2015. Lars is a documented and titled Belgium Malinois who started his training around the age of 12 weeks. He came to the sheriff’s office with obedience, searching and tracking, officer protection, and suspect ap-

Plans underway for Halloweentown events Three rescued after boat BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net
While most residents of St. Helens enjoy summer activities, somes group are hard at work planning events for Spirit of Halloweentown in October. The uniquely St. Helens celebration has grown from a oneday children’s fair and parade to a month long party that attracts tens of thousands of revelers to the community.
“There are a lot of new activities,” said Tina Curry, an event planner hired by the City to coordinate and promote the activities. New on the agenda include a parade, steam punk and Goth weekend, a haunted mansion and, of course, the pumpkin lighting. “We have several different celebrities we’re talking to,” is all Curry would reveal when asked about the possible return of Kimberly J. Brown, the original Marnie in Disney’s production of Halloweentown. Last year, Marnie’s appearance at the pumpkin lighting attracted several thousand visitors. This year, events are planned every weekend in October. Festivities kick off Oct. 1 with the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce Halloweentown Parade. Not to be confused with the Lil’ Spooks Children’s Parade, this procession follows a route from the Chamber office to the plaza square. Motorized floats and groups are welcome, as

Three people were rescued when the 20-foot sailboat they were on sank near Sand Island. Columbia County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) Marine Patrol responded incident that occurred during the evening of July 14. CCSO Marine Patrol Sgt. Phil Edwards said a person in the Grey Cliffs area called to report a capsized vessel at around 6:55 p.m. Upon arrival of authorities, it was discovered that the captain and two deckhands aboard the sunken sailboat had been plucked from the water by a guided fishing boat that was operating in the area. “They were wet and cold, but nobody was injured,” Edwards said. He added that the boat was involved in an organized racing

event sponsored by the Columbia River Sailing Club and held Thursday nights in the summer. According to Edwards, the boat was maneuvering through five-foot swells during very choppy, very windy period on the Columbia River. The boat was coming about towards the Washington side of the river when it lost its sail and went sideways into a large wave. Edwards said the wave caused the sailboat to capsize to its port side and put the crew into the water. “They were all wearing life jackets; their life jackets deployed properly, and they were rescued by the guide boat,” Edwards said. “We interviewed everybody, there doesn’t appear to be any type of negligence or improper operation, it’s just one

tiaras, and have a delicious meal of roast beef, mashed potatoes, salad bar, and chocolate pie for desert. According to Monica Cade, RSVP Director, “Everyone had a really great time. I’m glad we had this opportunity to honor them again, and show them how much we appreciate everything they do for others. The room was glittering from all the tiaras.

Lost kayakers found safe BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Four young adults from the St. Helens area are safe and sound following their rescue early Monday morning, July 18 near Hogan Ranch Road and Scappoose Bay. Lt. Dustin Hald with the Columbia County Sheriffs Office said the four unidentified females, all adults over 18, went kayaking Sunday afternoon and headed south toward Scappoose Bay. “They got lost at about 8:30 and could not find they way back to the marina,” Hald said. “They got out of the water on foot and were pulling their kayaks through the swamp and tall grass. They called 911 for help at about 11 pm. Sunday night.” Columbia County Sheriff’s deputies, Scappoose Police and Oregon
State Police responded to the area. The owner of an area ranch also joined the search. Hald said the ranch owner was instrumental in helping locate the lost women. “They still had cellphone contact with our 911 dispatchers who told them to yell so the deputies could find them,” Hald said. “They were yelling and the ranch owner heard them and was able to locate them at about 12:30 Monday morning.” The rest of the searchers converged onto the scene shortly after the ranch owner located the missing women. Hald said the unidentified ranch owner used a canoe to shuttle the women one by one across a small creek to a nearby road to meet with the other searchers. Hald added that there were no injures reported. “They were shaken up
a bit from being lost and being out in the dark,” he said. “They did have water with them, so they were partly prepared. Their cell phone batteries were running low, so it’s good that we found them when we did.” According to Hald, the incident is a good lesson for anyone recreating in the area. “Just be prepared for the worst when you go hiking or kayaking,” he said. “If you aren’t familiar with the area, carry a map or have a map app on you cell phone and extra cellphone batteries. Also, bring alone a flashlight, especially if you are leaving in the afternoon to hike or use a waterway.” Hald credits the ranch owner for helping. “It was lucky that the property owner was there,” he said. “When we can use local knowledge like that we are better off, especially on private property.”
Former school building targeted for economic development BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net JEREMY C. RUARK
jruark@countrymedia.net
A former local school building is slowly transforming into what Port of St. Helens officials say will be similar to a business incubator and a boost to the local economy. One of the steps for the develop came on July 6 when the Clatskanie City Council approved a zoning change for the former Clatskanie Middle School. The Port of St. Helens acquired the building in 2013 to drive economic development. The agency is focused on creating industrial and manufacturing family-wage jobs. Scott Jensen, planner for Port of St. Helens, said light manufacturing use or research and development use would be appropriate for the building’s location. “The significance is mostly potential at this time,” Jensen said. “Certainly there is potential for business growth and job creation in Clatskanie. Some of our large prospective tenants at Port Westward have expressed interest in having a presence in Clatskanie as projects develop and are constructed.” The building has a boardroom that could potentially host government or public meetings and Jensen said the city might consider another space in the building for a backup emergency operations center.

Jensen said several Special Districts have already inquired how they might take advantage of the use of the building, which he said is ultimately an indirect benefit to the public. “The City of Clatskanie is interested in establishing an Emergency Operations Center to augment existing emergency capabilities,” he said. “We have offered the use of the Port office space to state personal that travel through the area regularly. It is likely that additional opportunities to be a participant in the Clatskanie community will be identified in the coming years.” Jensen said the water and sewer capacity in the building makes it a good location for certain businesses. According to Jensen, rezoning the building was an important step in the process of attracting new businesses and that an anchor tenant with a significant commitment was another crucial aspect. A strong core business (or businesses) would make it easier to open spaces to some smaller operations. “We’ve talked about how to do a business incubator type of thing here,” Jensen said. “Clatskanie is just not big enough to do a traditional business incubator, but there’s things we might be able to do that would make it a little less risky for somebody to take their good idea out of their garage and make a go of it.” Jensen said the building could provide a foundation for small business success,
but it is up to the business owners to build their business on that foundation. “Our chief potential benefit to helping small businesses will be the business incubator type space we can provide,” he said. “Possible benefits could include a reduction in initial lease payments or termination clauses that reduce the risk someone takes on to sign a lease and build a business.” For the neighbors, the rezone means a possible increase in traffic, though Jensen said a traffic study indicated the impact would be less than what occurred when the middle school was open. “We don’t want to do anything that would radically change the neighborhood,” Jensen said. The Port of St. Helens will have to go through the conditional use approval process for the light manufacturing use anticipate would be required for future anchor tenant, according to Jensen. “Otherwise, now that the zoning has been changed, we can begin to market the building,” he said. “We will probably undertake some minor projects we have been deferring until the zoning was changed. Some major projects that involve significant costs, such as repainting the building, may have to wait until we have some occupancy in the building before we can afford them. We do not know how long marketing the building could take.“
OSP seeks Sauvie Island robbery, assault suspect Authorities are searching for two men who are suspected of committing assault and robbery on this past week Sauvie Island. Oregon State Police (OSP) said the crimes took place on July 13, sometime between 7 p.m. and midnight, at Walton Beach on the Sauvie Island Wildlife Area. A pair of attackers reportedly held a victim
down and used pepper spray while stealing items from a backpack. The first suspect was described as a white male in his 20s with a thin build, shaved head, a cross tattooed under each eye, and a large face tattoo, red in color, starting at the left brow and running along the left side of his face. The suspect may also have additional tattoos
on his arms. The second suspected was described as a white male in his 20s, approximately 5’11’’ tall with a husky build and dark hair. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact OSP Trooper Joe Dezso at 503-410-1503 or the OSP Northern Command Center at 800-452-7888.
Opportunities for neighborhood watch, emergency prep While you’re enjoying the fair, don’t forget the opportunities to engage on the topic of community safety. There will be a Columbia County Emergency Management booth, Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) booth, and Search and Rescue booth on July 23 at the Columbia County Fair. Those who are interested can pick up information packets from the booths. CERT will be sharing
information regarding the Map Your Neighborhood program. There also will be a neighborhood watch and disaster readiness meeting from 6-8 p.m. on August 16 in the St. Helens Library auditorium.

Mart type box store. This area is closely adjacent to railroad tracks with a rock quarry across the road. Even light industrial development would be hard to come by. The Port of St. Helens has been unable to attract clean industry for many years. I cannot imagine how the City of St. Helens believes they can. Does it not even enter the minds of our public officials that limiting this type of negotiation to “executive sessions” and making this kind of decision without input from the community is not exactly the forerunner of “openness and transparency”? Does the city council even consider that there are over 30 closed and second hand businesses on the main street in St. Helens? I believe the City is playing a poor hand of poker with the taxpayers’ money and I definitely object to that. My uncle taught me how to play poker when I was five years old. He told me to never bet on what’s coming if you do not have a good foundation to begin with. Openness and transparency has been the mantra of most every person running for office in the past year. Almost every candidate’s campaign flyer declared that was their main goal. What happened to that promise? Nancy Whitney St. Helens

Double-fatal head-on crash closes Highway 47
Flavel M. Runyan July 1, 1925 ~ July 12, 2016 Flavel Runyan of Columbia City died peacefully, Tuesday, surrounded by his loving family at his bedside. He had recently turned 91. Flavel was born in Cadillac, Mich., to Bernard and Esther (King) Runyan. The family soon located to Whitefish, Montana where he grew up and worked for the railway station, developing a lifelong love of trains, he graduated from high school in 1943. Enlisting in the Navy after graduation he became a radioman, supporting marine troop positions during island landing campaigns in the Pacific of WWII. He also served in the Navy during the Korean War. After the war, he graduated from Kinman Business University in Spokane, Wash., where he met and married Shirley Didier of Lewistown, Mont. They remained in Spokane to begin raising their two children Stephen and Mark, eventually partnering in an insurance agency followed by a successful position with Purolator Oil Filters as a sales representative for the western region of the country. This position took him and his family to Kansas City, Mo., Huntington Beach, Calif. and Bellevue, Wash. He was a loving father always supportive and active in his children’s pursuits. They divorced and remained amicable
thereafter. Through his career he owned several other busi-
ness, such as a 7 Eleven in Bellevue, Wash., an Automotive Parts store in Wenatchee, Wash. and a Knapp Shoes store in Portland Ore. Portland is where in 1981, he met and married Rachael Tacker and spent 20 wonderful years together. They lived their dream of moving to the beach at Seaside, Ore., to retire; but in 1996 they built a beautiful little home overlooking the Columbia River in Columbia City to be closer to family. This would be his last move; he loved it here, watching the river traffic of big ships, tugs and fishermen. They remained together until her

Flavel enjoyed golfing, Mariners baseball, the beach, fried oysters, sports, card games, financial topics, politics, and keeping up on current news.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Grace Baptist Church or the Columbia County Humane Society, both of St. Helens, Ore. Please sign our guestbook at www.columbiafh.com.
Two people died when their trucks collided on Highway 47. Authorities are looking into speed and distracted driving as possible causes of the crash. According to OSP, on July 13 at about 3:23 p.m., troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash on Highway 47 near milepost 69. Once on scene, troopers observed two Ford F-150 pickups that were fully engulfed in fire and had been involved in a near head-on crash. The collision occurred when a northbound white and red 1995 Ford F150 being operated by Kelly D. Fultz, 39, of Hillsboro, crossed over the centerline on a curved section of the highway and struck an oncoming southbound black 2014 Ford F150 being operated by Tim V. Marshall, age 58, of Beaverton.
There were no passengers in either pickup, according to OSP. Following the impact the southbound F150, operated by Marshall, rotated away from the area of impact and came to a final uncontrolled rest approximately 20 feet down an embankment and on its passenger side. The northbound F150, operated by Fultz, came to final uncontrolled rest within the southbound travel lane. As a result of the damage sustained in the collision both vehicles suffered extensive fire damage. Both Fultz and Marshall were declared deceased at the scene. Speed and distracted driving are being investigated as possible contributing factors. The highway was closed for about five hours while investigators completed a
reconstruction of the crash scene. Oregon Department of Transportation established detours in the area during the closure. OSP said it was possible that some bystanders stopped at the crash and left prior to the arrival of emergency responders and troopers. Authorities request that any possible witnesses or bystanders that stopped at the crash scene before emergency responders arrived contact the Oregon State Police Dispatch Center at 503375-3555. Trooper Billy Bush from the St. Helens Worksite is the lead investigator for the crash. Vernonia Rural Fire Protection District, Banks Fire Rescue, Vernonia Police Department, the Washington County Medical Examiner and ODOT assisted OSP on scene.

FEMA app helps prep for emergencies Columbia Theatre saves the most lives in terms of preparedness actions,” Lemaitre said. “This is another tool in the toolbox of our work to reach more people online and at the grassroots level.” Lemaitre said when an emergency does occur you may be outside of your normal area, perhaps very far from home, and unfamiliar with regional concerns. For example, a person visiting the west coast might not be prepared for earthquakes, while a person visiting the east coast might be unprepared for hurricanes. “One of the first things we ask is for individuals to become aware of the potential threats that they face in their commu-
nity,” Lemaitre said. “But also become aware of other potential threats in other areas.” “The app is really onestop shopping for all the folks throughout the country,” Lemaitre said. “But it is particularly powerful when folks are generally aware of a threat for their area because [the app] allows you to dig down and learn more about what that threat means and what specific actions you can take to protect yourself and your family.” “There’s a lot of apps in the app stores that make our lives more enjoyable and productive, but this is an app that can actually save your life,” Lemaitre said.

Preparing for a disaster takes some effort, but a new mobile device application developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) aims to make it a bit easier. The FEMA app has a number of features. It sends alerts from the National Weather Service, allows users to upload and share photos of damage and recovery efforts, provides realtime maps of disaster resources such as shelters, has shortcuts to disaster assistance programs, provides hazard safety tips and reminders, and allows users to create a custom emergency kit checklist. FEMA Public Affairs Director Rafael Lemaitre said while FEMA is known to support state and local agencies during emergencies, the agency also focuses on preparedness for individuals who may find themselves confronted by disaster. With the number of Americans using smart phones and other mobile apps, Lemaitre said FEMA has been working on a method to deliver information to the public in an easily accessible format, and that’s
where the app comes in. “The FEMA app is essentially a Swiss army knife of everything someone might need before, during and after a disaster,” Lemaitre said. He added that the app was developed in-house, consulting with disaster experts and experts in the field of technology. The app also has some functionality when there is no access to cellular network or wireless internet access, allowing access to tips and checklists without connectivity. “Regardless of who you are, there is something for you in the app,” Lemaitre said. Apple device users can get FEMA’s app from the App Store, just search for FEMA. Android device users can download the app from the Google Play Store. Lemaitre said the agency encourages the public to have three days worth of supplies at the ready. He said food and water are primary, but to also include medications and other sustaining items necessary while awaiting government assistance or recovery efforts. Important documents should be ready to go as well. “We also have at our fingertips the latest research on what

Seattle to Portland: Bicycle riders make the journey BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
On Saturday and Sunday July 16 and 17, Highway 30 became more of a bicycle pathway instead of an auto route. Riders pedaled right through the middle of Rainier, St. Helens and Scappoose. Thousands of bike riders made the annual journey from Seattle to Portland. One rider, taking a break in Rainier, said he started his journey at 4:45 a.m. Saturday
morning. “It was all bicycle traffic for most of the way until we came over the hill towards Longview,” he said. Auto traffic got crazy after that.” According to the Cascade Bicycle Club’s website, this 200-plus mile bicycle ride is the largest multi-day bicycle event in the Northwest, with up to 10,000 participants riding from Seattle to Portland in one or two days. The route takes riders through the scenic valleys, forests, and farmlands of western Washington
and Oregon. The Group Health Seattle to Portland presented by Alaska Airlines is a joint fundraiser for Cascade Bicycle Club and WA Bikes - profits are shared equally. The registration fee helps Cascade provide bicycle education programs for children, families, school groups and everyone else who wants to ride a bike. It also helps us advocate for safer, more connected bicycle infrastructure throughout the state and region. JEREMY C. RUARK/The Chronicle
Participants in the Seattle to Portland bicycle classic pedal through St. Helens on their way to Portland.

Quarry operator fined for water violation The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality announced on July 19, it fined Eagle Star Rock Products, LLC $9,890 for water quality violations. In documents released by DEQ, the state agency said on March 9 - 11, 2016, Eagle Star Rock Products discharged turbid water to Milton Creek from its facility at 35365 Hankey Road in St. Helens. DEQ also cited the company, without penalty, for violating a condition of its water quality permit.
DEQ said it issued this penalty because deposits of clay, silt and other sediments into the creek can degrade water quality and may harm aquatic life by covering up food sources, abrading fish gills, and smothering fish eggs and invertebrate organisms living in the river. Milton Creek is habitat for endangered species of aquatic life, including Lower Columbia Coho salmon and steelhead, as well as other sensitive aquatic life including Pacific lamprey
and coastal cutthroat trout. Turbidity is included in the definition of pollution under Oregon environmental law. According to the documents, on March 11, staff from the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries observed clay sediment in the ditch, on the roadway and in the riparian buffer along Hankey Road. Eagle Star Rock Products has until Aug. 8 to appeal the penalty.

Columbia Humane Society launches adoption ambassador program Columbia Humane Society (CHS) is pleased to announce that they are launching the second year of the ASPCA Adoption Ambassador program. The Ambassador Program, initiated last year and launched with the help of the ASPCA, places pets into foster homes, which are then responsible for finding new families for the pets in their care. Once the pet leaves the shelter with the Ambassador, the Ambassador acts as an agent for CHS and finds adopters, screens them, provides adoption counseling, collects adoption fees, and presents adopters with all adoption contracts and any other information that may be needed for their new pet. CHS is pleased to report that last year, they were able to find homes for ten cats and three dogs through this program. With the help of a very generous grant from the ASPCA, all the adoption fees for these animals were waived. In 2016, the focus is on placing more cats through our program. CHS is anticipating
that during this program in 2016, they will be able to place sixteen cats in new homes. Each cat placed as part of our Ambassador Program will come fully vetted, current on vaccines, and chipped and treated for parasites, with the adoption fee waived. This is made possible by a grant through the ASPCA. If you are wondering how to become an Ambassador, feel free to stop in at the shelter and apply to be part of the foster program. You will be able to choose any pet currently in the shelter and available for adoption, take that pet into your home, and receive all necessary counseling from CHS before finding a home for the pet. CHS would encourage Ambassadors to use social media, friends, family and any other form of networking possible to help them place pets. CHS is pleased to say that they have added new Ambassadors this year, including the Creatures LLC pet store in Vernonia. Additionally, you can find their cats available for adoption at several pet stores in the
Portland area and kindly displayed at the Columbia Feed and Seed store in Saint Helens. Through the great support of Columbia County and beyond, CHS has been able to place 244 pets in new, loving homes, and have been able to reunite 119 pets with their families. Not only does CHS help animals from Columbia County, they also partner with groups like the ASPCA Relocation Team and Wings of Rescue to help animals currently living in high kill shelters outside county. These animals can be placed in loving homes in Columbia County, rather than euthanized for lack of space. Again, if you are interested in joining our Adoption Ambassador team, please either call the shelter at 503-397-4353, or email animalwelfare@ columbiahumane.org for more information. They will be glad to add you to the team and to give you a chance to make a difference in the life of a shelter pet.

can do their projects at home all year long getting ready to show at the fair,” he said. “That is what I really like about it. You get the kids out here and they have smiles on their faces. That to me is worth it all,” Columbia County 4-H Youth Development Professional Woody Davis said the fair is a key part of the success of the local 4-H chapters. “We have a very constant project in Columbia County,” Davis said. “The fact is we have dedicated leaders in all communities of the county and with that than the success of the kids follows.” According to Davis, the 4-H teaches life skills to help build youth character and guide young people to be productive and responsible citizens. “We do that with project areas that the kids are interested in,” he said. The kids learn responsibility, team building, public speaking and leadership. All that happens in the club level based on area of interest.” The projects, many featured at the annual fair, include Lego robotics, food nutrition, woodworking, livestock and horses. Davis said the success of the youth is gauged over the years. “The typical 4-H member stays in the chapter for about 9 years,” Davis said. “In the later years they are taking on leadership positions and teaching younger children.” Rainier-area 4-H member 18-year-old Allison Hisey has been preparing to show her Polish Cockerel chicken at the Columbia County Fair. According to the My Pet Chicken website, Polish Cockerel are a very special and unique breed of chicken with their huge bouffant crest of feathers and vshaped comb. “I named him King Arthur because his Afro reminded me of a crown and I really like the name Arthur,” she said.

Allison Hisey, of Rainier, has been preparing to show her Polish Cockerel chicken during the Columbia County Fair.
But Hisey said the Polish Cockerel’s Afro is also a disadvantage. “That’s because their Afro of feathers hinders their eyes, so they are a little clumsy because they can’t see what’s going on around them,” she said. Hisey has been working to make sure King Arthur will be comfortable during her presentation at the fair. “You want to work with your bird to make sure it is confortable and it is under enough control that it will stand on a table by itself,” she said. “When you show your bird you have to turn it upside down and you have to make sure the bird is comfortable. That can be difficult if you have a temperamental bird. I am still working with my bird. He is very young and never done anything like the fair before. He is also a pretty mellow bird, so I am hoping I get lucky.” Angelique Hisey, Allison’s mother, and also a 4-H chapter leader, said being a part of the chapter and showing at the fair helps the chapter members grow. “I want them to have a positive grasp on animal husbandry and wellness for themselves and to learn to be good stewards of the environment,” Angelique said. Hisey also said that the fair presentations help the youth gain confidence in
themselves. “They have to be able to speak in front of a crowd when they do showmanship and lots of eyes are on them,” she said. “They must know the history and health of the animal and to be able to speak clearly and effectively when they are put on the spot like that.” Angelique said the 4-H fair presentations also help each chamber member learn discipline. “It takes discipline when they have project animals,” she said. “Because they are responsible to feed them and water them and notice any health concerns. It is like anything that you commit to. You get back what you put into it.” The Columbia County Fair includes the livestock shows, the annual My Fair Lady Pageant, the NPRA Rodeo, a carnival, and a series of free musical concerts (with the price of fair admission) that includes Joe Stoddard, Rock N Roll Cowboys, Briana Rena, Countryfried, Rock Bottom Boys and Lulu LaFaver. Admission to the fair is $8 for adults 18 to 59, seniors $5, youth 7 to 17 $5 and children under 6 fare ree. Parking is $5.00.

of the potential hazard in the shipping lane. “We scanned the whole area this morning for about three hours, and we didn’t come across the boat at all,” Edwards said. He added that with the water churning from large boats and the influence of current, the sunken sailboat could move a significant distance in the 50-foot water depth without being easily detected, possibly even reaching the ocean.
Fire season begins July 21 in county forests Fire Season will officially begin 1 a.m. Thursday, July 21, in the Oregon Dept. of Forestry’s Northwest Oregon Forest Protection District. This will affect all lands protected by ODF in the Tillamook, Astoria, and Forest Grove districts, which encompass Tillamook, Washington, Yamhill, Clatsop, Columbia and Multnomah counties, as well as portions of Lincoln County. The fire season declaration applies to state, private and Bureau of Land Management forestlands.
With fire season in effect, forest operators must have required fire equipment at the site of their operation, and are reminded to inspect their fire equipment to ensure it is ready and can pass inspection. Operators must also provide fire watch on each operation after equipment is shut down at the end of operations each day (see attached waiver). Fire season rules also prohibit smoking while in or traveling through any “operation area” and prohibit the use of fuse and caps for blasting on forestland.
Fire Weather Zones NW1, NW-2 and NW-3 will start out at Industrial Fire Precaution Level 1, effective July 21. IFPL changes and fire season information may be obtained by contacting the nearest ODF office. For the general public, burning permits are required for open pile burning and burn barrels. Residents who live within a City Fire Department District or Rural Fire Protection District should contact their local fire department for burn permit requirements.

Candle causes home-destroying fire
CODY MANN/The Chronicle
Pokémon Go superimposes a game world into your smart phone, allowing you to become the character who battles and captures the digital monsters.
Q&A: The Pokémon Go craze explained Since its release, the Pokémon Go game has spread like wildfire. Wherever you go out, you are likely to see a number of players using their smart phones to search out and capture the digital monsters of a virtual world. A huge success for Nintendo, the company’s shares have skyrocketed as Pokémon Go sets the pace for the next phase of gaming. Using GPS and an augmented reality system through your smart phone camera, players can capture the creatures in the real world. With certain landmarks being populated with the imaginary creatures, groups of people area popping up to catch them all. The game has led to a resurgence in popularity for Pokémon games and accessories, and also promotes upcoming releases. Garrett Lane, graphic designer at The Chronicle and lifelong gamer, sat down with us to explain why Pokémon Go is significant, how it works, and what the next likely step will be in augmented reality gaming. The Chronicle: What is your experience with Pokémon? Garrett Lane: When I was about seven years old, Pokémon came over to the US, so I’ve grown up with Pokémon. It was my age group – I’m 25 – that was kind of the first generation. TC: What is Pokémon Go? GL: Pokémon Go is an augmented reality game, or AR game, and what that means is they take aspects of the real world and turn
them into game mechanics. For instance, it takes aspects of your real-world coordinates and your phone’s camera and implements game elements into those things. If Google Maps and Snapchat had game elements to them, that’s the basic idea of what Pokémon Go does. TC: How do you play the game? GL: When you turn on the app it basically takes Google Maps and overlays a Pokémon skin on it. You then walk around and Pokémon will randomly generate in locations, and you can battle them and capture them. The goal is to “catch them all.” Once a battle is initiated, you have what are called Poké Balls. You flick them in the general vicinity of a Pokémon, and if they connect, you capture them. TC: Why is this game significant? GL: This is significant because of the augmented reality aspect. This is not something that hasn’t been done before, but this is the first game that has taken AR and made it a mainstream thing. Nothing on this scale has taken place; no other augmented reality app has had this explosion of popularity. TC: What is driving the game’s success? GL: It lies with the inherent appeal of the Pokémon series. The idea of the series is kind of an escapist fantasy – everybody remembers being a kid and wanting to go on their own adventures – just being able
to go out and have an adventure and feel like you’re progressing in something. What Pokémon Go does is take that concept away from controlling a character in a game and makes you that character. You’re the one that’s going out and catching these Pokémon; you’re the one that is having the adventure.
Fire officials are reporting that an unattended candle led to severe fire damage in a Chapman-area home. On July 14 at 10:42 p.m., Scappoose Fire District personnel responded to a structure fire on Bolin Drive, taking about 16 minutes to reach to remote location, according to a statement from the agency. The first engine arrived to find a manufactured home with smoke and flames coming from the structure. There were two residents in the home who were awakened by the smell of smoke in each of their rooms. Both of them were able to escape the fire by exiting out of a window and the front door. A third resident on the property heard the com-
motion, helped the others escape, and then ran about an 1/8 of a mile to the closest neighbor to call 911 as there is no cell service in the area. Scappoose Fire District said the fire was brought under control in less than an hour, using about 3,000 gallons of water. They were able to stop the fire from spreading to the attached shop and an adjacent travel trailer. Smoke damage was found throughout the entire home, and fire destroyed most of the residence. Fire officials estimated damages were around $150,000 and said there is insurance on the structure. The residents are currently seeking shelter and help from family and friends in the area. Columbia River Fire and
Rescue assisted Scappoose Fire District. Both agencies responded with a total of three engines, three water tenders, medic, rescue, utility, two support vehicles and 15 personnel. After an investigation, it was determined that the fire was caused by an unattended candle left burning on a piece of wooden furniture. Also, there were no working smoke detectors in the home. Fire officials would like to remind the public to place candles in a fireproof container and to extinguish them before leaving the home or going to bed. Scappoose Fire District is able to assist residents with obtaining smoke detectors if they are unable to do so themselves.
TC: What will this inspire, how does it change gaming? GL: I think you’re going to see an explosion in non-gaming tech apps in the near future. You’re going to see similar collectingfocused games take advantage of this technology, but I think you’re also going to see other tech industries besides gaming take advantage. There is a huge market for this in the fitness industry. I think education is going to have a heyday with this, too. In the app, there are places called Poké stops where you can get game items, but they use things like churches, public buildings, landmarks and companies to determine where the stops are going to be. So, there is a possibility for a tour app utilizing this tech.

TC: The game is free, right? GL: The game is free, but this game and a lot of apps make their money from micro-transactions. Everything in the game is free, but if you want to expedite your progress or get something right away, you can pay real-world currency for in-game things.

Sports & Outdoors Fighting cancer with Relay for Life BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
Relay for Life invites cancer survivors and their supporters to enjoy a gathering with a purpose. This year, 14 teams are registered to participate in the event, which has a fundraising goal of $57,000, and is held July 30-31 at St. Helens High School. Husband and wife for nearly 50 years, Dean and Teresa Ebert are among the cancer survivors who regularly attend Relay for Life. They are this year’s Grand Marshals for the event. Teresa is a 20-year survivor of uterine cancer, lucky to have caught it early on. Dean, who learned about Teresa’s cancer on his birthday, is a five-year survivor of skin cancer. They said they represent around 36 family members who have had cancer and either survived or passed on. While watching a parade in 2005, the Eberts received pamphlets from Relay for Life and got motivated to join. “We can do this,” Teresa Ebert told her family. With three weeks to prepare, the Eberts recruited Shannon, Danielle, William and other family members to form the Turtle Team, choosing the name because they were slow, but determined (Dean got up to 5 mph walking around the track, not so slow after all). The Eberts described Relay for Life as a form of moral support for survivors and their families. “We’ve had babies out there in survivor gear,” Teresa Ebert said. “You can talk to people
who’ve been in your place, or help somebody that is new to this experience that needs the support of somebody who has been there.” “Speaking to one and other about these things – you’re not complaining or crying boo-hoo – but you’re finding out that others have questions that maybe you can answer,” Dean Ebert said. “And finding out that you are not alone,” added Teresa Ebert. The good-natured competitive aspect of the event can be exciting, too, wondering who is raising the most funds, checking out the other teams’ costumes and campsites, and pushing for more laps around track. In past years, member of the National Guard have presented medals to participants. The money raised by Relay for Life is directed at cancer research, crucial in this era of technological and medical advances. Dean Ebert draws a comparison between cancer research and the discovery of penicillin, saying mankind spent a long time losing lives before the discovery of a new way to treat old diseases. He said his sister was given six months to live when diagnosed with cancer, but thanks to advances in research, she and others were able to live much longer than projected. “This is an old disease that people have had for hundreds of years, but never knew how to take care of it,” Dean Ebert said. “Now we’ve got the capabilities.” The Eberts encourage people to pursue early
cancer screening, saying in the past it would be a mystery when some people died. “Now you have the opportunity to find out; they can save your life,” Dean Ebert said. “Do it early – it’s wise.” “If you love your body and you respect it, if you love your family and you want to be around, get it done,” Dean Ebert said. “If you work on your automobile or on your home, you have to work on your own body, too.” Survivors are asked to arrive at 8:30 a.m. and opening ceremonies will begin at 10 a.m. There will be a survivor lap at 10:30 a.m. and a luminaria ceremony at 9:30 p.m. Snacks will be provided and goody bags will be presented to registered survivors. A silent auction will be held from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Some of the auction items include a guided fishing trip with a local guide, a wine tour in the Willamette Valley, Hillsboro Hops baseball tickets, a school supply backpack, a beach trip, a kids fun basket, local businesses gift cards, art work by local artists and much more. During the event there will be games for children, a photo booth, and a Mr. Relay contest. The competing teams will be fundraising in various ways throughout the relay. Attendees may find jewelry, popcorn, or root beer floats just to name a few items available for purchase. “Every lap you make is helping somebody else,” Teresa Ebert said.
Dean and Teresa Ebert are cancer survivors and this year’s Relay for Life Grand Marshals.
