DIRECTOR: Daughtry’s focus on growth

going on and create new opportunities,” he said. Daughtry recognizes that for some people, understanding what goes into a successful economic development program can be somewhat confusing. “Economic development is really not a science, there’s an art to it. It is really about connections and relationships and bringing stakeholders together,” he said. CCET’s new director says there are plenty of opportunities for both existing businesses and others looking to open a new business or move into the area. For Daughtry, having resources available to draw from to help existing businesses maintain or expand their presence, and to help develop new businesses, is something he is

Harold Jacob Hulsopple Harold Jacob Hulsopple, of Scappoose, died July 21, 2013, at the age of 76. Jake was born Dec. 31, 1936 in Scranton, Kan. He moved with his family to Scappoose at Harold Hulsopple the age of 6. He attended Scappoose schools and graduated from Scappoose High School. On June 24, 1961, he married the love of his life, Margaret. Early in his career he worked for Gibs grocery in Scappoose and after his service in the U.S. Air Force, returned to Scappoose and later owned and operated Jake and Larry’s Shell service station in Scappoose. He later purchased a

really looking forward to having available. “I came from Cascade Locks where we really didn’t have the resources to draw from that we have here,” Daughtry added. Despite the limited resources he had in Cascade Locks, the economic group was eventually successful in building the first industrial site built in Cascade Locks in nearly 40 years. Columbia County Economic Team’s mission is to deliver business-driven economic development services to support creation, growth and retention for Columbia County businesses. Daughtry, along with the board of directors, also recognized all of the hard work Casey Wheeler provided while the search for a new director continued. Following Stocker’s departure last year,

Wheeler assumed the role of interim executive director for CCET. “The board also wishes to acknowledge and thank Interim Executive Director Casey Wheeler for the outstanding job he did through this period of transition,” said Blumberg. In his new role, Daughtry will primarily focus his efforts on business recruitment, expansion and retention. “We plan to continue and expand upon the great working relationships between Columbia County, the Oregon Regional Solutions Team, the Port of St. Helens and the Columbia-Pacific Economic District,” said Daughtry. The Columbia-Pacific Economic District covers Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties, along with the western portion of Washington County.

SHOOTING: handguns needed to control situation From PAGE A1 ued to approach the officers, and then aggressively charged them while wielding the long knife. “The officers were forced to use their handguns to control the situation and stop the man. Officers immediately began to administer first aid until paramedics arrived. He was transported to Emanuel Hospital for treatment,” said Moss. “We had two St. Helens Police officers and two Columbia County Sheriff’s deputies involved,” said Moss. “All of the officers have been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.” The Columbia County Major Crimes Team and Oregon

State Police detectives are investigating. The names of the two St. Helens Police officers and the two Columbia County Sheriff’s Office deputies involved in the shooting have not yet been released, in accordance with the city’s deadly force plan and Senate Bill 111, which requires the officers involved to be formally interviewed no sooner than 48 hours after the event. “Every county was directed to create policy in regards to officer-involved deadly force incidents. In that policy, which follows state law, it tells you what you are supposed to do with those officers, how much time you are supposed to give them… we are following the law,” Moss added.

Under that deadly use plan, any officer involved in a shooting that results in death or serious injury is placed on administrative leave until it is determined if the shooting was justified and the officer is cleared for duty. Once the Major Crimes Team and OSP has completed its investigation, the finding will be presented to Columbia County District Attorney Steve Atchison, who will review the case and determine if the case needs to be presented to a grand jury of if the shooting was justified. The city’s deadly physical force plan can be found in its entirety online at www.ci.sthelens.or.us/services/police.

GARBAGE: increase due to loss of commercial clients From PAGE A1 of 11 percent. If the operating ratio in the previous year is below the 8 percent mark, a rate adjustment may be made. According to Hudson Garbage officials, the company’s operating ratio for collection services in rural St. Helens fell from 6.8 percent in 2011 to 5.4 percent in 2012. The decline was reportedly due to a loss of revenue from commercial customers. In addition, Hudson said its revenues from recycled materials was also less than anticipated. The rate increases for Waste Management customers will be similar to the other rate increase. Rural

Scappoose customers will see their bill rise from $25.12 per month to $26.57 per month. This represents a 5.1 percent increase. In Vernonia, garbage rates will increase by $2.09 to $26.61, an increase of 8.6 percent. Both rate increases include a 17-cent disposal pass through. “The reason for the larger increase for the Vernonia area is, if you recall, that we started offering every other week recycling services. When we had to set forth our rates, we were estimating a little better productivity than we are actually experiencing based on the routes we are driving,” said Waste Management Pricing Manager Mike Jeffries. “Also, last year we had requested a rate adjustment that was

denied. Under the new DCR reporting, there was a little misunderstanding as to what was required of us.” Hudson Garbage representative cited a loss of around $15,000 from its commercial clients as the primary reason for the rate increase. Hudson also said it has stopped some of its drivers from using some customers’ driveways because of safety concerns, and that some of the clients have found other solutions to their garbage collection needs. “The reason why it stopped was because it was unsafe for our trucks to go in… our trucks have become bigger over the years. It really depends on if we’re able to go in and out safely,” said Site Manager Ernie Martin.
