SCAPPOOSE — After receiving approval from the City of Scappoose, it will be up to the voters in November to decide whether a parcel on the east side of town will be annexed into the city limits. At it’s meeting July 21, the Scappoose City Council performed the second reading of an ordinance to approve

the annexation of property to the city, amending the zoning map, and calling an election. During the first reading on July 7, Scappoose City Planner Stacey Goldstein presented councilors with David Young’s request to annex a five-acre parcel located at 33959 Vine Street, which would automatically rezone the parcel from Suburban Residential to Low Density Residential (R-1). Kirsten Van Loo, a representative for

“

...IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE ... IT DOES SOMETHING WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO GET TO ... CONNECTING DEAD-END ROADS.

”

– Jason Meshell Scappoose City Council

Young, stated that approval of the request would provide the first step toward eventual redevelopment.

The city’s Planning Commission recommended the council approve the annexation and zone change

ordinance so that it could be placed on the Nov. 4 ballot. “I think it makes a lot of sense for the City of Scappoose right now because it does something we’ve been trying to get to, which is connect dead-end roads,” councilman Jason Meshell said of the proposal. “And that connectivity — as we’ve talked about in the Transportation System Planning meetings — really increases the ability for people to get

around. It also would give us a long strip … of sidewalk that people could utilize, because a lot of the other streets are so narrow. So this actually is a good way to start on a long-term strategic process, and putting it out for them — the voters — so that we can upgrade those facilities and connect a lot of isolated areas on the east side to the main thoroughfare.”

Students learn big from ‘tiny houses’ Car show benefits children’s eye health BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — As the old saying goes, “Good things come in small packages.” For St. Helens High School, the “tiny houses” created by Joe Mauck’s building construction classes are delivering good things in the form of education and experience in several trades.

Before coming to SHHS, Mauck taught building construction at Benson Polytechnic High School in Portland, where his students built a full-sized home every two years. At SHHS, Mauck’s curriculum has a budget of $1,400 per year, so a $4,000 grant from Lowe’s in 2011 was a pivotal part of launching the tiny house project. “What happens with the bigger schools that have the

Offering raffle drawings, music, food and awards in several categories, the show’s proceeds are donated to the Elks Children’s Eye Clinic at OHSU’s Casey Eye Institute. Pediatric eye specialists at the Elks Children’s Eye Clinic provide medical and surgical care services to babies, children and young adults.

Social media has local cops saying ‘Facebook ’em, Danno’ BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

COLUMBIA COUNTY — Despite being faced with funding and staffing shortages, local police agencies still manage to solve crimes thanks to assistance through an unconventional source — social media. Thanks to the power of social networking sites such as the Columbia County Sheriff and St. Helens Police Department Facebook pages, anyone with internet access can become an armchair sleuth, potentially helping to find a missing person, track down a stolen item, identify a witness or capture a criminal. According to Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson, when he took office in

2009, CCSO had virtually necessarily picked up by the subscribers. no presence on the Internet. newspapers; etc. We find it “It’s been very effective,” Since then, the department makes our office much more he praises. “We have been has established a web page as accessible to citizens and using it for the better part of well as a Facebook page with allows them to comment on a couple years now — more more than 4,200 subscribers, issues, as well as giving us a and more now.

that individual is a criminal, which isn’t always the case. Moss says the department typically asks Facebook users to refrain from leaving commentary on its posts, as oftentimes he says a reader’s two cents does not help the process and ends up starting a debate. He adds, “It’s funny when you read the comments from the public who think it’s mean, vindictive or cruel, or say ‘Don’t the cops have anything better to do than post on Facebook?’” Despite the criticism, Moss says social media is still a worthwhile tool. He remembers that one of the department’s most famous cases was solved with the help of social networking.

Jamboree and logging show this weekend in Vernonia The annual Friendship Jamboree kicks off in Vernonia Aug. 1-3. This is the 58th year of the event, which features a parade, logging show, car and motorcycle show, music and a host of other attractions. The jamboree started in 1957, when the closing of the Oregon American lumber mill caused families to move away and the town wither. The Jamboree gave remaining and former residents a reason to reunite. It has since grown into a three-day festival. The parade starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday and travels down Bridge Street. Other activities are scattered throughout the city and in the three city parks.

SOCIAL: Local law enforcement agencies find social media useful for whole host of reasons From PAGE A1 When three men robbed Muchas Gracias at gunpoint in April 2013, the police department used Facebook to distribute surveillance tape of the incident, with the hopes of indentifying the suspects. “We had them identified by the end of the day that it was posted,” Moss explains. Dickerson notes that when CCSO used Facebook recently to request information on a burglary suspect, the post was shared almost 500 times and viewed by more than 32,000 Facebook users. “Where else can you put something out there and immediately get a response

from the public?” says Moss. “Virtually every single time we will solve it. The number of times we’ve been successful far outweighs the times we’ve been unsuccessful. It’s been a good thing for us.” “It has proved its usefulness and it’s the way the world communicates, so we will continue to do it,” he concludes. The use of Facebook and Twitter is becoming routine for departments in the rest of the country, as well. In fall 2013, the International Association of Chiefs of Police conducted a survey of 500 law enforcement agencies in 48 states. Responses revealed that 95.9 percent of the agencies

surveyed use social media. A little over 80 percent of agencies reported that social media helped solve crimes in their jurisdiction, and 73.1 percent of agencies stated that social media improved police-community relations in their jurisdiction. The most common use for social media was criminal investigations at 86.1 percent, but the results showed that social media has been a valuable tool for public relations/community outreach efforts, emergency/disaster notifications, and information dissemination. The most frequently used social media platforms were Facebook (92.1 percent), Twitter (64.8 percent), and YouTube (42.9 percent).

The first is that I don’t have a driver’s license. I was going to get it about the same time I started college at PCC/Rock Creek, but then I heard about the Rider and it was so convenient for me that I just forgot about it. The second reason is that I am a PCC student and the fare I pay to ride CCRider beats having to pay all of the costs associated with driving a car. There is insurance, fuel, wear-n-tear, and then the fees for parking at PCC are pretty high. CCRider fits into my budget, and allows me to not nave to drive the 54-mile round trip to the Rock Creek Campus in Hillsboro. The third reason is that taking the Rider is so convenient. I can walk to the Transit Center from my house in St. Helens. ~ Nick Rohrig, PCC Student, St. Helens

TINY: Teaching construction skills From PAGE A1

they’re not licensed to do electrical and plumbing. So I thought in something like this, the kids have to do every part of it. They have to do the insulation, the electrical, the plumbing, since it doesn’t fall under code jurisdiction.” The class curriculum also featured lectures from Dee Williams, who has been described as a pioneer of the tiny house movement. Williams has lived in her own 84-square-foot tiny house on wheels for over a decade and published a do-it-yourself memoir, “The Big Tiny.” She is also the co-founder of Portland Alternative Dwellings (PAD), a group that fosters and serves the tiny house community. Tiny houses are gaining popularity for a variety of reasons, such as being more affordable and environmentally friendly than the averagesized house. According to PAD, the typical tiny house is about 8-1/2 feet wide and 12 to 20 feet long, making them ideal for a variety of uses, such as travel trailers, seasonal housing, back yard guest bedrooms, hunting cabins and more. The two houses built at SHHS are tinier than average, as the finished products are 6-foot by 8-foot and roughly 12 feet tall at their peaks. Mauck says the houses were primarily built by students Josiah Beggio, Michael Norris, Shawn Vielmetti and Jake Sperley. He adds that since it’s a student project, each house has character in the form of scratches, gaps and bowed sheetrock. “These are second-year students,” he explains. “Most of the students that come in here — 30 freshmen a year — most of them have not ever used a hammer before. Maybe one out of 30 has ever used a hammer and pounded a nail. So the whole thing to those second-year students is brand new. There’s not a single thing

on there that they’ve done before, so it’s quite a steep learning curve.” Both houses — one brown and one blue — have 35-year roofing, custom lockable doors, hardwood flooring, custom trimwork, and Hardiplank siding. The brown house has an open floor plan with fiberglass insulation, three electrical outlets, two interior lights and dual exterior lighting. Mauck hopes to sell the house on Craigslist for $3,000. The blue house features a bed with a custom high-density mattress and a custom modifiable bench seat that can be used as a table, second bed or a workbench. There is also a hinged loft that swings down for more room. The walls are insulated with sheep’s wool and there are five windows. The sink has venting and a 1-1/2-inch drain line to the exterior. The house includes one GFCI outlet, four standard outlets, three lights and two three-way light switches. Mauck says he will list the blue house for $4,000. All the proceeds from the tiny house sales will be used for next year’s building construction classes. Mauck says he would like to see the program continue to be self-sustaining, possibly by having his class do the framing, siding, electrical, plumbing, insulation and wall coverings of a tiny house and then sell it to someone who wants to do the finishing details to make it their own. The tiny house movement is still growing, as illustrated on www.tinyhousemap.com. Urban areas are starting to embrace tiny houses as a way to have more affordable housing options for residents. The City of Portland waived development fees for property owners who wish to install a tiny house on their property, so long as the house meets certain conditions. Portland is also home to the Tiny House Hotel.

ANNEX: Voters will decide on Scappoose annexation effort Rich Riffle to Public Safety Ad-hoc Committee, which will meet with Lt. Miller and Lehman to discuss police department operations, training programs offered and staffing levels, as well as seek guidance on department direction. Council members discussed using the city’s PEG (public, educational and governmental) funding to establish a video production booth at the Watts House. Made available through cable operators, PEG funding is provided for the intent to cover the operation expenses of local studios that produce and broadcast public, education and/or government access channels.

The city council unanimously approved the ordinance. Voters will make the final decision on the annexation this fall. The board later approved $27,600 in community contributions for FY 2014-15. Organizations receiving funds are: the Scappoose Historical Society ($3,340), St. Vincent de Paul Food Bank ($2,500), Columbia Pacific Food Bank ($4,170), Amani Center ($4,170), KidCare ($4,170), CASA for Kids, Inc. ($2,500) and Scappoose Youth Recreation Center ($6,000). The city also allocated $750 to Community Action Team for administrative costs, as well as a line of credit up to the amount of $3,000, which the group can utilize for citizens who cannot afford to pay their utility bills. In lieu of a funds request, the Scappoose Senior Center proposed improvements to Dutch Canyon Road near their thrift store and bread store. City Manager Larry Lehman suggested the city could work with the county to get the road graded and graveled. The council held the first reading of an ordinance that would allow the city to designate “no parking” zones by painting curbs yellow, an addition to the city’s current practice of designating such zones with signage. Scappoose Police Lieutenant Norm Miller said that if the ordinance is approved, the city would educate the public on the change before issuing tickets to offenders. Councilor Larry Meres suggested that the city also

paint an indentifying mark on the yellow curbs to indicate that the “no parking” zone was created by the city and not by a citizen. A public hearing was held to gather citizen input on the proposed ordinance, but no one opted to speak. The issue is scheduled for the agenda of the next city council meeting. In other business, the council approved the purchase and installation of replacement electrodes for the Miller Road chlorine generator in the amount of $18,650. The council also appealed a resolution that established the Police Chief Advisory Committee. Mayor Scott Burge appointed Jason Meshell and

Clatskanie woman arrested after stabbing A 43-year-old Clatskanie area man was rushed to surgery with stab wounds he suffered during a fight with his wife. On July 28, Columbia County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Coop (pronounced Tracy Mitchell co-op) Road in the Clatskanie area to investigate a disturbance. Deputies learned Tracy Mitchell, 40, had stabbed her husband, James C. Mitchell.

Deputies reported Tracy Mitchell was driving her husband to the hospital when officers caught up with the vehicle and summoned medics. The stabbing took place at 18382 Coop Road, which is the residence of a third party. Tracy Mitchell is in custody, charged with firstdegree assault, burglary and menacing. The victim was taken to St. John Hospital in Longview. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said they currently have no word on his condition. This case remains under investigation.

Letters Praise for Elks My wife, youngest daughter and I had a very nice lunch Monday, July 14, at the St. Helens BPOE Lodge Restaurant and much to our dismay there were not many people having lunch there. Being a lifetime member of the BPOE and retired, we are away a lot of the time and as such don’t frequent the lodge as much as we would like to. The purpose of my letter is simply to advise the general public that the lodge offers lunch to the PUBLIC five days a week so come on down and enjoy a very good lunch with a wonderful view of the mighty Columbia River and more. The food is excellent and the prices are very competitive. As you may not know the BPOE is involved with a lot of children’s programs as well as other programs that you should find out about. I would encourage you to come for lunch and get info about becoming a lodge Member to support the local lodge and the community. The next time I am there for lunch, I hope to see some of you there. Bring along some of your friends with you. You will be pleasantly surprised how much you will enjoy yourself. The address is 350 Benton Road, 503397-1999. Call ahead for the daily menu. Jay L. Perrizo St. Helens Editors note: When we got Mr. Perrizo’s letter, we called to ask if lunch dining is open to the public. The good folks at the Elks told us the lodge is open to members and guests only. Stand up and tell officials what you think Molly Ivins was a newspaper columnist and a liberal political commentator born in California and raised in Texas. She was a remarkable woman. She wrote exten-

Speedbump

sively for Mother Jones with humor and the absolute truth. She believed you have to have fun while you are fighting for freedom and justice because you can’t always win. She believed in ridiculing the “fraidy-cats” and she believed in outrageous celebration when you “kicked ass” on an important political matter. She delighted in poking pins in politicians who where puffed up with their own importance. She died of breast cancer in 2007 at the age of 62. My point in telling you about Molly Ivins is that I recently read some articles in various newspapers in which Sen. Betsy Johnson, Rep. Brad Witt, and various other self-important politicians have stated that almost everyone in Columbia County is highly supportive of the Port Westward project. These people to whom the politicians supposedly spoke must have been found at the INVITATION ONLY meeting put on by Columbia County Economic Team to which opponents were not invited. In fact, opponents were excluded. Molly Ivins most likely would have said to not be a “fraidy-cat” – to stand up and tell these officials what you really think – to not let fear ruin your future and that of your children. We need to make our elected officials realize that most of the people in Columbia County are not supportive of having Columbia County turned into the armpit of Oregon. Of course, that continues to be slightly more difficult to do when Commissioner Earl Fisher continues to give us the designation of “noise makers” instead of actually listening to us. We have a state run agency called Connect Oregon. P&W Railroad has already received millions of taxpayers dollars from this

Dave Coverly

agency and yet the infrastructure of the rail tracks and bridges continues to need considerable upgrades. With all this taxpayer money being funded to the railroad companies, you would think Pacific and Western would be required to pay more than 5 percent of these upgrades while the taxpayers must pay the additional whopping 95 percent. These taxpayer rip-offs never seem to end. Betsy Johnson, Brad Witt, the Board of Commissioners, the Port of St. Helens and the State of Oregon are “damned dead wrong” if they believe the rhetoric they continue to spread as truth will just be accepted and we will roll over to get our bellies scratched. In the words of Molly Ivins — I, for one, will continue “kicking ass” and have fun doing it until I drop. Nancy Whitney St. Helens, Oregon End corporate welfare at Port Westward I would like to address comments made in local newspapers. I will agree to a fraction of the improvements that were needed at Port Westward and Rainier but only to a certain degree. I understand that many industrial sites need to be shovel ready (OK I get it) but — after sinking hundreds of millions into a site such as Port Westward, don’t you think a corporation which wishes to build there needs to be assessed full taxes on day one? After all, the taxpayers just picked up the tab for hundreds of millions for these companies. The taxpayers not only paid for the infrastructure improvements, but we miss out on tax revenue for decades because of urban renewal, Enterprise Zones, SIP programs and Connect Oregon just to name a few. It is simply corporate welfare and we the taxpayers are still

doing road improvements to the site. I also believe when a business/corporation, such as Global, comes into a community, and their product interferes with the safety and livability of the communities it is their burden to alleviate these impacts no matter the cost. That is what a responsible business does. Likewise, it is the carrier’s responsibility (P&W rail) to make sure their line is up to the most modern and structural designs. For instance, if I decided to sell eggs and my business was booming, would it be the taxpayers’ responsibility to buy me more laying hens and the fencing to keep my

hens safe? The answer would definitely be a NO. People would and should have a fit about using taxpayer funds. We should all be as angry about funding corporations which need no monetary assistance other than to shore up their profits for their shareholders. My question is how much more taxpayer funds are needed at Port Westward? One hundred eighty million dollars for the defunct ethanol plant, a million for a well, and millions in road building. The county debt interest includes $70 million plus and Port of St. Helens debt in the $35 million range.

We could have taken all that money and built a viable company ourselves and had it owned by the taxpayers and operated by county residents and been money ahead. At least we would have something to show for it. We could also have taken the money and paid the wages of all the people who we have supposedly created jobs for and the cost would have been significantly less than what we have paid in taxes and tax break thus far. Of course, that would be called welfare. Heaven forbid we take away corporate welfare and give it to real people. Tammy Maygra Deer Island

Oregon timber harvest best in years; 4.2 billion board feet in 2013 In 2013, Oregon’s timber harvest rose to 4.2 billion board feet, marking four consecutive years of increase from the recession low of 2.72 billion board feet in 2009. “This was the first harvest above four billion board feet in seven years,” said ODF principal economist Brandon Kaetzel, “and represents a 12-percent increase over the 2012 harvest of 3.75 billion board feet.” One board foot of lumber is one foot wide, one foot long, and one inch thick, or the equivalent in volume. Construction of an approximately 1,800-square-foot house requires about 10,000 board feet. In Columbia County, the timber harvested is overwhelmingly from industry land. On industry lands 127.4 million board feet was harvested and about 25.9 million board feet was harvested from other private lands, mostly small woodlots. About 4.2 million board feet came from publicly owned land within the county. Approximately 49 percent, or 30.2 million acres, of Oregon is forested. Federal forestlands account for 60 percent of these forestlands, industrial forestlands for 19 percent,

family forestland owners own 15 percent, state-owned forests comprise three percent, and all other forestland owners (counties, Tribal, etc.), three percent. Timber harvest increases can be attributed to a strong export market for Oregon logs in 2013, coupled with a domestic market recovery, particularly in housing. Whether this trend will continue for the 2014 harvest is uncertain due to housing forecasts being revised to lower numbers and a sudden cool-down in the export market that occurred during the second quarter of 2014. The largest increase in harvest came from non-industrial private forestlands where harvests increased 61 percent to 511 million board feet from the 2012 total of 318 million board feet. “This is most likely due to small forestland owners taking advantage of higher prices as a result of a still strong export market in 2013,” Kaetzel said. The harvest on industrial forestlands rose from 2.56 billion board feet in 2012 to 2.75 billion board feet in 2013, for an eight-percent increase in harvest. Harvests on Native American forestlands

increased five percent from 2012 to 2013, rising from 63 million board feet in 2012 to a total of 66 million board feet in 2013. On Oregon’s west site, federal forestland posted modest increases in harvests; an 11.5 percent increase on Bureau of Land Management lands (for a 2013 total of 165 million board feet) and a six-percent increase in harvests on U.S. Forest Service lands (totaling 392 million board feet in 2013). State public lands, which include Common School Fund and Board of Forestry forestlands, posted a slight increase from 251 to 252 million board feet. Klamath County continued to lead in eastern Oregon with a 2013 harvest of 124 million board feet. Even with a diminished infrastructure, harvests on the east side rose approximately four percent due to increases on tribal, private, and other public (e.g. county) forestland. There was a marked decrease in federal timber harvest on the east side for 2013. In western Oregon, Lane County continued to lead with a 2013 harvest of 620 million board feet. – Oregon Department of Forestry

Paddlefest a boon to local food bank DON PATTERSON / The Chronicle

Bru Benoist of Next Adventure in Warren presented a check to Ken Gates with Columbia Pacific Food Bank on July 16. The check was cash earned during the Paddlefest in June. Food bank volunteers helped with the event. In addition to the $1,500 check, the event collected 485 pounds of food. “It was more than we anticipated for the first year,” said food bank director, Casey Wheeler. Benoist praised the food bank volunteers, who manned the gate and helped park cars. “You did an awesome job of setting the tone. Nobody in Portland expected such a quality presentation,” he told food bank representatives.
