Busy weekend for fire agencies
County residents warned of doorto-door scams BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Fire crews worked through the night of to control a brush fire
on Holaday Road in the Scappoose area this past weekend. Scappoose Fire District responded to the logging road in the late evening of Aug. 5 to find several burning slash piles on Weyerhaeuser property. No homes were threatened and the fire was stopped from spreading. Columbia River Fire & Rescue, Oregon Department of Forestry and law enforcement agencies assisted Scappoose Fire District in responding. Mop-up operations continued through the morning and the cause of the fire was under investigation. Another fire was reported at an abandoned home on EJ Smith Road
near Apple Valley Road. At around 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 7, fire crews responded to a fully involved structure fire in an abandoned house surrounded by large trees, deep in a wooded area. The fire did not spread and no other structures were threatened. Mop-up and containment operations began around noon. Fire officials reported a huge amount of debris surrounding the structure as well as nearby makeshift buildings, autos, piles of tires and other fire hazards. Several fire and law enforcement agencies assisted, and Portland Fire personnel provided station assistance. The cause of the fire was under investigation.
Officials with the Oregon Justice Department’s Consumer Protection Division are warning residents in Columbia County and across the state of door-todoor scams. “We see a large uptick in doorto-door sellers and scams during the summer,” Oregon Justice Department’s Communications Director Kristina Edmunson said. Clatskanie Police officials said they have had citizen complaints over the past several weeks concerning door-to-door vacuum sales. The investigators said the salespersons do not have a required city business license. “Unless they have a valid City of Clatskanie business license, they cannot be conducting business in the city limits,” according to a Clatskanie police Department spokesperson who asked not to be named. “Residents need to make sure they are asking any door-to-door salesperson for the proper city business license before committing to any sale.” According to the Oregon Justice Department’s website, consumers have three days to cancel a sale for a full refund if they spend $25 or more on the product or service. This right extends until midnight of the third business day after the sale. This rule applies to any sale made in-person at the buyer’s home or workplace, or at facilities rented by the seller on a temporary or short-term basis, such as hotel or motel rooms, convention centers, fairgrounds and restaurants, with only limited exceptions. The Justice Department’s

into their operations. The state, lacking the infrastructure to implement the program statewide, chose to test it in Oregon’s most populous region – Portland and its surrounding areas. “If it’s successful and if it really does work the way we intend, and if it really continues to work as we’ve tested, the state may offer this statewide as an interim solution,” Columbia 911 Director Steve Watson said. Currently the program is webbased, but the objective will ultimately be to integrate the service into the telephone systems dispatch centers use for voice calls. “They will have a phone system, eventually,” Watson said, “that will allow voice, and data, and photos, and text to come through one device.” The pilot project, though critical, is merely the first push by 911 centers across the nation to incorporate new technology into the way they receive information. In the future, concerned citizens will be able to send photos, videos, audio and other data directly to dispatch centers.

Leslie Hough did not always know she was an artist. It was not until after a career and raising her family that she discovered her ability to create beautiful works of art. Hough was born and raised in north Portland. She lived in Medford for 24 years before moving to St. Helens 11 years ago, settling near the river with her husband Larry, and Maddie, their playful black Labrador. Beyond high school, Hough said there was not a lot of opportunity to be involved with artistic endeavors. Life took her in a more scientific direction, attending Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University. She pursued a career as a dental hygienist after graduating. It would be 2004 before Hough found herself able to dedicate time to developing her artistic vision. “After raising kids and having a career, I decided I would spend some effort getting involved in the arts,” she said. “I was in my late 40s, living in Medford, and my neighbor was a woman who was becoming an internationally known watercolor artist.” Hough’s neighbor, Judy Morris, was beginning to teach classes in watercolor all over

the world. She signed up to take classes from Morris in the south of France and later in Japan as well as in Medford. As a former high school teacher, Hough said Morris was gifted with an ability to work with students of any skill level, even the most inexperienced beginner. Hough was convinced to travel to France for an artistic adventure, taking a 10-day
trip that included classes and tutorials on painting with watercolors. Hough said, “I learned a lot about color, a lot about composition, details and the basics.” She also met her future sisters-in-law on that trip – they said she needed meet their brother who lived in Portland.

Bikers ride for SAFE program BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net
About 22 members and guests of the Resolute motorcycle club got together for a ride Aug. 6 to raise money for the Columbia County SAFE program. Riders met up at the Alano Club in St. Helens for the start of an 85-mile poker run that combined civic service with something club members like to do most, ride. Aside from their love of motorcycles, club members share a common attribute – all are recovering from substance abuse. Some have spent time in prison. But the club is dedicated to

helping all those struggling with addiction. One of the riders, who goes by the name of Nathan said belonging to the group fulfills a spiritual need. Four years clean, Nathan is a single parent of two kids and runs a small business. “There’s fun in sobriety,” he said. “I have more friends now than I ever did.” The group has doubled in size since last October and now has 18 members. There are chapters in St. Helens and Portland. The club donated $500 to a native family who lost a son in a car wreck and they raised $11,000 in one evening for a man battling

cancer. Mike Morgerster, who had helped many of the club members struggling with addiction, needed the help with medical bills. “It’s time somebody gives back to him,” member Scott said. Except for the black leather vests and row of gleaming Harley Davidson motorcycles, this could be any charity fundraiser. Members stood around telling stories while a man who gave his name as Charley circulated through the crowd selling raffle tickets. Each member wears a clean and sober patch on his leathers. “If they see one of these patches and they’re struggling,” Charlie
explained, “they can talk to us anywhere, anytime.” The goal, he said, is to get to 300-400 strong, so when people need help, someone is there. The word comes to saddle-up and members, including some female riders, climb on. Riders leave in groups of six or eight, “so we don’t cause [traffic] problems,” Charlie explains. They’ll ride to Alston, Clatskanie, Mist, Vernonia and back to St. Helens where burgers and soft drinks wait. As one member put it, “They’ve had pretty dark lives and they’ve crawled out of it.”

Preparing for the “Big One” BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
“It’s only a matter of time, and we will be on our own for two months,” geologist and Columbia County Volunteer Disaster Coordinator Della Fawcett told a small group of area residents during a presentation about the impact of a Subduction Zone earths in quake in Oregon. e Subduction zones are at plate tectonic boundaries where two plates converge, and one plate is thrust beneath the other. This process results in geohazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes. Through a series of slide show charts, Fawcett outlined the causes of the tremor and the chances that we could see such a disaster within our lifetime. “There is a one in three chance of a Subduction Zone earthquake in the next 50 years,” she said. “The impact could cause an estimated 10,000 deaths, 30,000 injuries and an estimated $81 billion economic loss for the area.” The magnitude 9 quake could cause the ground to shake for up 9 minutes, trigger massive landslides, liquefaction, flooding, falling objects, rupture roads, cause unreinforced buildings to collapse, down power lines and trigger natural gas fires. “One third of our schools and the Clatskanie Fire District station are in the high potential of collapse category,” Fawcett said. “The flooding, the liquefaction and the landslides will be the worst for Columbia County.” Clatskanie resident Jackie Groulx came to the presentation to learn more for her personal safety. “I want to be more aware of what we should do in case of a disaster and certainly it will come at some time,” she said. “It is important that we all are
able to help one another.” Groulx said she had not yet established a kit for an emergency or stored any food for a disaster. “This will be a first step for what I need to do,” she said. “I came to this presentation tonight just to learn how to prepare and to be prepared when the earthquake comes,” Clatskanie resident Randy Kallio said. “We are considering buying a freeze-dry food machine so we can dry our own food to be prepared. It’s expensive, but it will be worth it.” Fawcett said it is important for residents to not only prepare emergency kits and store food and water, but also to communicate with each other. “Talk to you neighbor,” she told the audience. “Talk to your family. Talk to people out of the state who aren’t going to be in this earthquake.” Fawcett said it is critical to establish a contact out of the state that you can talk to so that when the earthquake happens there will be one person you know you can get a hold of to relay details about your situation. “It’s likely cell phones will not be operating and there may be a chance you can get to and briefly use a landline phone,” she said. “So it is important to have that point of contact out of the state.” Clatskanie Mayor Diane Pohl said she has established her own safety kit and set aside water and food to be prepared. “I don’t think most people are prepared yet,” she said. “We are creatures of deniability. But what
we can do is continue to provide all the education that we can here so that people are prepared for any disaster. Pohl said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has developed plans to bring large supplies of fuel, food and medicines to the Redmond Airport that could be sent to communities in western Oregon following a Subduction Zone earthquake. “If the Astoria Bridge holds there is an idea that the supplies could be sent up the Columbia and stage at Port Westward,” she said. “That means that our area would become a very important staging area for getting the needed materials, such as food and medical supplies, to towns and cities inland.” Pohl said refugees from the Oregon Coast could also come to Clatskanie after fleeing the devastation caused by the earthquake and following tsunamis. The presentation was made Aug. 2 at the Clatskanie Community Center.

just south of the Boise mill property. It appears that a fire was set either deliberately or accidentally on the small wood dock by an unknown person. The fire was extremely small and did not cause any appreciable damage to the dock. The fire was consistent with a cigarette-caused fire. A small, unauthorized campfire ring was also located near the dock and was still warm from prior use. Contact the Port of St. Helens for further information. 5/28/15 Structure fire: 735 Matzen St., St. Helens. This came in as a structure fire but was actually a stove issue. The residents had started the stove cleaning cycle and this caused a good deal of smoke and fumes due to a stove that had not been cleaned recently. All residents evacuated and there were no injuries. This a group home operated by

Probably started by a discarded cigarette butt. No spread to structures or vehicles and no injuries. 5/30/15 Structure fire: 29451 Old Rainier Road, Rainier. This was a significant structure fire involving a metal barn, approximately 40x50 in size. The barn was used for raising chickens (chicks), storage including a 1978 Chevy Camaro, and legal marijuana growing. The cause of the fire was assigned to a heating lamp system used to incubate and warm the chicks. There was no extension to the home that is located close by. Loss is assigned at about $20,000 but may be more depending on insurance estimates.

on the road and over the grade. The car was driven by Oliver Schnoover and with him in the front seat were his brother, Martin and Emily Mustola. The driver received a dislocated shoulder and severe abrasions of the face and scalp. Martin Schnoover, who was transported to Emanuel Hospital in Portland on Sunday was the most seriously injured with a knee cap torn loose and the knee dislocated, serious head lacerations, the bones of the forehead being exposed with the brow was lacerated. Emily Mustola received bad face and head injuries, the skin and flesh being badly scraped by the hard surface of the highway. The passengers in the back seat had lesser injuries; the group was brought in to the Clatskanie Hospital where they were cared for. With the exception of Martin Schnoover all were dismissed during the night from the hospital. The drum and bugle corps, sponsored by the American Legion left this morning on the train for Portland where they will compete and march in the floral parade this afternoon. The boys will be taken to the Multnomah Hotel for lunch at noon and to dress for the parade. They go by bus to the stadium where the paraders assemble. A large number of parents and friends planned to accompany the boys to Portland on the train. The S. P. & S made a special round trip rate of $1.30 for adults and half fare for children with a three-day return limit. The national convention of the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran Church will be held in Clatskanie this coming week with sessions beginning Sunday morning at 10 a.m. and closing Thursday evening. Four years ago the convention was also held here and brought together a large gathering from the Midwest and the West. At that time on Sunday noon 2600 were fed at the meeting and a crowd of almost equal size is expected this year. All sessions will be held in the high school gymnasium. A cookhouse 16 by 16 ft. has been erected near the building and the basement of the school will be used as a dining room. Three meals will be served daily during the convention.

Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services officials also are alerting Oregonians about an insurance scam after an Oregon transportation company discovered its commercial auto and cargo insurance was non-existent. The agency, through its Division of Financial Regulation, believes Umer M. Masood, under the alias Josh Capello, and Ahmed Salam are fraudulently operating Proactive Indemnity Corp., Proactive Financial Services, and ContingentCargo Co. The primary business addresses for the companies is listed in Los Angeles. Investigators found there are
no registered businesses in California with those names and none of the businesses are licensed to sell insurance in Oregon. The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services has ordered Proactive Indemnity Corp., Proactive Financial Services, and ContingentCargo Co. to stop selling the fraudulent insurance and issued a fine of $120,000. An Oregon transportation company purchased its insurance online and paid $20,000 in premiums over the course of four years, and received invoices and a certificate of coverage via email from Josh Capello. According to Oregon officials, the certificates were fake and the premiums paid were deposited into banks in Pakistan. The division believes there may be more Oregon companies that have purchased fraudulent insurance through these entities. Oregonians who have done business with Josh Capello, Ahmed Salam, Proactive Indemnity, Proactive Financial, or Contingent-
Cargo Co. or with information about the entities should immediately contact the division at its toll free phone at 888-877-4894. “We want to hear from anyone who has done business with these entities so that we can prevent further harm,” Oregon Insurance Commissioner and Administrator of the Division of Financial Regulation Laura Cali said. “If you have concerns about an insurance or financial issue, or would like to know more about how to spot a potential scam, contact the division for help.” To check a license online or get help with a concern or a question, go to dfr.oregon.gov or call 888-877-4894 (toll-free). The Division of Financial Regulation is part of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Oregon’s largest business regulatory and consumer protection agency.

Voice calls will always be more efficient and effective. “We will always stress to people that when they are sending a text, if they can call, we prefer that. And we will ask them: ‘Are you safe to make a 911 voice call?

No smoke detectors in Rainier house fire Five residents fled from a burning home in Rainier this past week. One was injured while exiting through a window to escape the smoke and flames. On Aug. 1 at 12:36 a.m., firefighters with Columbia River Fire & Rescue responded with two engines, a rescue unit, ambulance and two chiefs to a report of a house fire in the 400 block of East B St. in Rainier. The first fire engine arrived within minutes to find a two-story, single-family home with flames coming out of the windows of the second floor on the south side of the residence. Fire crews quickly extinguished the fire. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. There were five occupants living in the house. All five people made it out of the residence safely prior to the fire department’s arrival. One occupant suffered a minor leg laceration when exiting the structure through a window.
The patient was transported by a Columbia Fire & Rescue ambulance to St. Johns hospital in Longview. An electrical line to the building fell across B street, closing the roadway for about an hour until the power company arrived to de-energize the power line, making the roadway safe for motorists. There were no working smoke detectors in the home. Columbia River Fire & Rescue encourages everyone to check their smoke detector to ensure they are working properly and to keep a working smoke detector in each room of their home and to have a practiced escape plan. Anyone needing assistance with smoke detector installation or checking their smoke detector to make sure it is in good working condition can contact Columbia River Fire & Rescue at 503-3972990.

Battle of the Brews waged in St. Helens BY CLAUDE AKINS
cakins@countrymedia.net
It was the first annual Battle of the Brews at the St. Helens Market Fresh grocery last Friday and Josh Poling, who organized and directed the event, is happy with the results. “We had a great turnout,” Poling said. “I thought that everybody was super excited about it. They got to try some beer they never tried before and we sold a lot of beer, so it’s a benefit for everybody.” In total, eight breweries were present, each showcasing 3-5 beers. Pineapple Express, an all-natural hard cider produced by Jester and Judge, a brewery located in Stevenson, Wash., took home the crown. Alameda Brewing Co. with their Black Bear Stout, Three Creeks Brewery with their chocolate stout, Five Pine Porter, Portland Cider with its apple offering, and Sweet Heat by Burnside Brewing
Co. all had strong showings. Indeed, they performed so well that Market Fresh will be running them through the month of August at discounted prices. The excellent turnout at the Battle of the Brews may be a signal of things to come in St. Helens. Natasha Parvey, the Executive Director for the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, believes there is definite demand for more breweries in Columbia County and St. Helens. She estimates she receives 15-20 calls per week regarding moving to St. Helens, and that one of the first things people ask about is where to get good beer. Currently, Columbia County Brewing and Ye Ol’ Grog Distillery are the only local purveyors and producers of alcohol, though Poling expects that number to increase in the coming years. “You look at the way that our area is growing and how close we are to
Portland; you’re going to see the lifestyle of beer. Right now they’re going to Portland; you’re going to see that start to head this direction,” said Poling. And based on Market Fresh, the market for local, craft beer is certainly there. In the past two years the grocery store has nearly quadrupled their craft beer selection – and watched their beer sales rise accordingly. Poling estimates beer sales have increased 30-40 per cent since they diversified and expanded their craft beer selection. Poling is planning on hosting another Battle of the Brews next year, and hopes to have as many as two times more breweries present. If this year was any indication, attracting that number of breweries shouldn’t be difficult. “Everyone who came was excited,” Poling said. “They poured more beer than they poured in a long time.”

Antique Treasures & Gifts ~ FOUND HERE ~ Vintage and resale stores offer opportunity to shop locally Saint Helens is home to more than a dozen resale stores that offer consumers the opportunity to shop local, find treasures, and save money. These stores also have a significant impact on the area economy. Resale stores differ in the way they benefit the local economy and community. Top Notch Thrift Store and Habit for Humanity ReStore, for instance, support local non-
profit organizations. For-profit stores, like 2Cs Vendor Mall and Artifacts on 1st, bring in thousands of dollars in business license fees each year, because they house dozens of small businesses. Resale stores bring out-of-town dollars to the area. Tourists and antique dealers often spend a day or two in Saint Helens shopping, dining, and staying in local motels and
bed & breakfasts. And, of course, thrift shopping is a boon to local consumers who can often find topquality goods at bargain prices. Grace’s Rivertown Antiques is well-known as the city’s oldest antique store, featuring true antiques – items 100 years older or more. Boutiques like The Woodland Cottage and Jilly’s offer a mixture of vintage, new, and hand-crafted
clothing and accessories. 2Cs and Artifacts are mall-like experiences with many small shops inside, featuring antiques, vintage decor, local art, and new and lightly used goods of all sorts. The many resale shops of Saint Helens ensure that local residents can find bargains on nearly anything they need.

Glass
From PAGE A1
“I had a really neat opportunity to start at the beginning, no stress, in a fun place with interesting people,” she said. Hough took some additional watercolor classes in Portland through the Oregon Society of Artists before moving on to another creative outlet. “I didn’t turn out to be a great watercolor artist,” Hough said. “And part of that, I felt, was maybe I wasn’t good at drawing.” She decided to take a number of drawing and design classes at Portland Community College. “I loved the learning environment and all the new experiences,” Hough said. “It turned out I actually could draw,” she said. “I just needed to learn how.” Hough also picked up some wisdom along the way. While scouting colleges with her daughter, she was told by a professor in the architecture school at University of Oregon “we can teach you to draw, but we can’t teach you to be creative.” That stuck with her – the need for a creative inner spark. “I knew there was something in me that was creative,” she said. “ I just had to figure it out.” The realization hit her at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Wash. While touring the displays, Hough was inspired to explore the world of artistic glass. She signed up at Aquila Glass School in Portland, owned by St. Helens residents
B1
www.thechronicleonline.com Don and Tammi Bietscheck, and also studied at Bullseye Glass in Portland. After a year of working from the studio at Aquila, Hough found it would be more practical to establish a shop of her own. An instructor at Bullseye Glass sold her an old kiln and she was up and running, no more carrying glass home from Portland, cutting and designing, and running it back to the studio for completion. During the past six years, she established her studio a few tools at a time, investing in steps in what she said has been a reasonably affordable venture. When you are freehand cutting a glass bowl out of a mold with a tile saw, you do not want to rush the process. Melting and shaping pieces of glass at high temperatures creates fused glass art. “I enjoy the interaction of science, alchemy and artistry that brings surprising qualities to each piece,” Hough said. “I appreciate the influence that living in our uniquely beautiful environment of water, rock and woods has on my art.” Working with glass requires a level of calm and cool, and Hough said being mindful of safety routines is essential. When you are freehand cutting a glass bowl out of a mold with a tile saw, you do not want to rush the process. She said she very rarely gets cut thanks to working slowly and methodically. Hough said, “It took a
while to figure I just needed to work calmly.” The fused glass process involves cutting and arranging pieces of glass to create designs, which are fired in a kiln to around 1,500 degrees. The molten glass forms together and commits the unique design to permanence. There are many designs and patterns of glass available as the raw ingredients for projects. The piece can be further shaped through the slumping process, firing at around 1,200 degrees and using a mold to achieve a specific outcome such as a bowl or plate shape. Hough has been making fused glass art for about six years now. Mostly making gifts of her creations, she had her first lesson in mass production when she created 130 pieces for her daughter’s wedding. Her first exposure to marketing her crafts came when her sister-in-law invited her to an art show in the Rock Creek area of Portland. Going forward, Hough is encouraged by knowing she still has a lot to learn about fused glass. “There are so many techniques I would still like to try, and I still get a lot of joy out of seeing pieces turn out well,” she said. “I see a lot to keep me going for a while.”

SHPD ticketing youth doing good things St. Helens youth should pay close attention to a new citation campaign implemented by the St. Helens Police Department. St. Helens Police Department officers are currently issuing citations to youth spotted doing good deeds around the city of St. Helens. If an officer tickets you, your “pizza citation” requests your appearance at Sunshine Pizza in September for a party with officers of the St. Helens Police Department. Caught wearing a bicycle helmet while riding your bike? You may be facing a pizza citation. Spotted using the crosswalk or helping a person pick up items they dropped on the sidewalk? These good deeds are citation worthy. Being safe, being responsible, that is the key to earning a pizza party ticket. If you plan to enter a guilty plea to these acts of good behavior, the authorities look forward to your appearance in pizza court with attorneys (a.k.a. family members) of your choosing. Citations entitle the bearer to a free meal and allow family members in attendance to purchase a meal for $5. St.

OREGON DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES PROGRAM
Helens Police Department seeks to ticket up to 100 youth for their acts of good behavior. According to Chief of Police Terry Moss, a few years ago some businesses in the community provided the department with coupons for free treats such as burgers or ice cream to be given to young people who did good deeds or made positive choices. Moss said the concept was refreshed when Sunshine Pizza owner Todd Stansbury heard about another department doing something similar, and Stansbury offered to help the department refresh the idea with pizza coupons. Sgt. Joe Hogue was credited for taking the idea to the next level – a pizza party with the police and kids. Rather than having ticket recipients redeem their rewards individually, Hogue suggested gathering everybody together to recognize
the positive community activity. Moss said the department collaborated with Sunshine Pizza to design a new sort of ticket – a ticket to a pizza party. “We’ll have the kids show up, we’ll have a bunch of police officers there, and we’ll enjoy pizza and play video games and have a good time,” Moss said. “It gives the kids the idea that the police aren’t always out looking for the negatives in our community,” Moss said. “We interact with the community all day, every day, and it’s nice when we see things that are positive and are able to respond to that.” The first ticket was issued Aug. 4 to Gabriel Barker, who delivered thank you cards and police survival kits (consisting of assorted candy snacks) to the police and fire crews in St. Helens as part of a Vacation Bible School project at First Lutheran Church.

Haunted house coming to First Street Aarseth discovered Halloween at the age of 16, when he returned to the United States from Sweden where he had lived for the previous 11 years. Aarseth points to that moment to explain his passion for Halloween, which is truly palpable. “I moved back here, realizing how much Halloween I had missed out on. It’s kind of like someone teasing you with candy and then taking the candy away,” Aarseth said. “So I started doing a haunted garage…and it just graduated from there.” Aarseth remembers his introduction to the St. Helens haunted walk as a fun but ultimately disappointing experience. “The year before last I came to [the Spirit of Halloweentown’s] haunted walk and I said, ‘Oh, that’s really cool.” After that visit to the

Dear Robert Englund, Chris Aarseth would like to have a word with you. In the haunted hamlet of St. Helens, it’s First Street, not Elm Street, where nightmares are becoming reality. CnC Scare Factory, owned and managed by Aarseth, will present their haunted exhibit “Nightmare on Main Street” for the entirety of October for the Spirit of Halloweentown festival. And to add to what will already be a lively festival, Aarseth is hoping to lure Englund, aka Freddy Krueger of the Nightmare on Elm Street series, to St. Helens for the city’s annual celebration of the spooky and scary. Unlike many of us,
Spirit of Halloweentown, Aarseth began volunteering at the festival. He used his special effects skills, which he acquired through his tech company, My Tech Oasis, to project animated eyes and floating ghosts across the walls of buildings. And now he is seeking to expand the business even further. CnC plans to transition to a non-profit next year as part of the company expansion. Aarseth believes this will help with sponsorship by allowing sponsors to make tax-exempt contributions which will in turn help lure celebrities such as Englund to the October festival. Besides courting celebrities and transitioning to a non-profit, next year CnC also hopes to set up haunted exhibits at high
schools with the help of students, who would then share in the profits, as well as installing theme yards at individual homes. They will create an exhibit in your yard to your liking and remove it once the festivities have ended. “If we can create a bonfire,” Aarseth said, who sees CnC as a community asset, “we can always take that candle out and give it to someone else and they can create their own bonfire.” As part of their community effort, CnC Scare Factory will be donating 10 percent of their proceeds to the city fund. The timing for expansion is not coincidental, as the Spirit of Halloweentown appears primed for a second consecutive big year. If this year is another success, and if the festival is able to lure more ce-

St. Helens school facilities need modern upgrade
CODY MANN/The Chronicle
St. Helens School District would like to see a new, modern middle school as part of a $47 million bond measure. BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
St. Helens School District will ask the public to recommit to a $47 million tax levy in the fall. The previous bond is set to expire. Once the school board approves the spending directives and parameters of the bond it will go to the voters on the fall ballot. Superintendent Scot Stockwell said three possible amounts were floated to the public in polling conducted this past spring, $47 million, $67 million and $87 million. The $47 million bond does not require an increase to property taxes; it simply continues the current tax structure as it is. Stockwell said the $67 million measure would have meant an increase of 50 cents per thousand, and the $87 million would have meant a one dollar increase. The $87 million would be enough to fix nearly everything the school district would like to address, but the $47 million would still be enough to target the essentials. According to Stockwell, the polling results indicated some community support for a $67 million bond, but there was much stronger support for a $47 million proposal. “We as a district need to continue to build trust and transparency that we’ll be good stewards with funds,”
Stockwell said. The priority projects for the funds include replacing the current St. Helens Middle School with a modern building. “The middle school is way past its prime,” Stockwell said. “It’s our only building that hasn’t had any significant renovation done to it since it was built – it was built in 1964.” He added that it has been time for the new building for a while, but economic conditions in past years were not favorable. Stockwell said one of the issues with the old middle school is that it was designed to be a junior high school, essentially a smaller version of a high school, designed to introduce the comprehensive learning experience. The middle school concept is a more transitional approach. Students are separated into groups, called houses, and the building is designed to gradually pull the students together and develop teamwork skills for both students and teachers. “It’s more of a collaborative concept than what we currently have,” he said. The science classrooms at St. Helens High School also would benefit from the bond. Stockwell said the science facilities are woefully behind the times and in need of upgrading. “All of that is about 30 years old,” he said. Stockwell
noted that during his recent 30-year class reunion, he and fellow St. Helens graduates toured the school and saw items from their past still in use. “This is great opportunity for us to not change what you’re paying in your taxes and do some significant work,” Stockwell said. “And the really nice thing about a district our size is all of our children will go through that middle school… everyone will get the benefits of a new middle school and the upgrades at the high school.” Security is another aspect the school district seeks to improve with bond funds. The high school campus would benefit from revising how visitor access the area. “We did a fair degree of community listening sessions back in November and that was one thing that came up time
and time again,” Stockwell said. He said safety concerns regarding the middle school had been voiced by the community, too. Columbia County Education Campus, the alternative school, is another priority for the bond. The school consists of a ring of portable buildings, is short on restrooms, and lacks a kitchen and a cafeteria. “It needs some support for instructional purposes,” Stockwell said. “But construction-wise, the portables have met the end of their life expectancy – there’s some significant rot issues that we’re working to address.” He added that school needs a building after so many years in service. Stockwell said one of the draws to applying for a bond now is a possible funding grant from the education department’s
Oregon School Capital Improvement Matching Program. The program provides matching funds to school districts that pass bond measures. One set of funds is available based on economic conditions and another is distributed through a lottery system. St. Helens School District is near the mid-range of the socio-economic pool, according to Stockwell, with around 50 percent of students receiving free or reducedprice lunches. St. Helens suffered a bad luck in the lottery pool, however, and was placed towards the bottom of the
list. Stockwell said St Helens might still receive funds if schools ranked higher do not apply for or pass bond measures, making them ineligible and moving St. Helens up the list. He added that only the schools ranked in the top five or six of the pools would receive funds. “What we are looking at is an additional $4 million when we pass our bond in November,” he said. There will be an open house to kick off the bond campaign at 5:30 p.m. on Aug. 10 at the St. Helens School District office. The school board is expected to vote on the bond measure at the Aug. 24 meeting.

Call for school supply donations The new school year that begins on Sept. 6 is fast approaching and organizers are working quickly to collect enough school supplies to help children in need. The annual United Way of Columbia County Stuff The Bus school supply donation drive began July 11, but donations have been slow. “We are slow,” United Way of Columbia County Executive Director Kathye Beck said. “We are not getting the number of supplies that we have had in the past.” Various donation drop points have been set up in St. Helens, Clatskanie, Rainier and Vernonia. St. Helens School District employees have established a closet at the district office, at 464 N 16th Street, to fill with donated school supplies. In Clatskine, a small school bus is parked at the Safeway Shopping Center to collect donations through Friday, Aug. 12. At the Rainier Fibre Federal Credit Union at 102 W 5th Street, a miniature school bus has been set up in the lobby to take school supplies. School supplies may also be dropped off at the Vernonia School District office at 1201 Texas Ave. Needed school supplies include binders, binder dividers, pencils, black and blue pens, college rule paper, crayons, markers, glue sticks, rulers, calculators, and pencil pouches. “If we were not collecting these supplies there would be kids that wouldn’t have any
supplies,” Clatskanie social services Turning Point Director Tina Viuhkola said. “It is a growing need. The numbers always vary, but the need never stops.” Beck said the cost of the school supplies goes up each year. “If you are working a minimum wage job, and you have three or four children, it can be very expensive,” Beck said. St. Helens School District will distribute the supplies from the district office at 464 N 16th Street. The supplies will also be disturbed from Turning Point at 220 E Columbia River Highway in Clatskanie to those families that have registered. The Rainier and the Vernonia School Districts will pass out the school supplies from the district offices. Call the school district in your area for additional information. Over the last several years, United Way has depended on community donations of school supplies and cash to purchase the supplies. LOA LLOADED! ADE D D Beck estimated the value BEAUTIFUL B BEA BEAUTI E EA AUTIFUL UTIF L CAR! CA CA of the donations over the #55494 # 54 #55 494 9 past 10 years to be at least $100,000.

Sports & Outdoors St. Helens football star recognized for skills BY CLAUDE AKINS
cakins@countrymedia.net
In a recent article by The Oregonian Myles Terry ranked 37th among all high school football prospects coming out of Oregon this year. And with all due respect, the St. Helens jack-of-all-trades – he plays receiver, running back and strong safety doesn’t exactly see this as a compliment. “It’s nice that they’re thinking highly of me and thinking that I’m a good player and a good enough player to put on the list, “ Terry said, “but basically, it makes me want to prove that I should have been even higher on the list.” And there is a good argument to be made that he should have been higher. Halfway through last season Terry tore his meniscus, and though he continued to play without knowledge of the injury, the tear impacted the way he practiced, he said. The adrenaline produced during game time made the injury playable – in fact, the game in which Terry suspects the tear took place, he combined for 265 yards and four touchdowns. Those are the kinds of performances the Lions will need from Terry if they want to eclipse last year’s 6-4 record. After an offseason of rehab and conditioning – Terry said he is “trying to get into better shape than he was last year” – and a more mature and cohesive unit than in
years past, expectations are understandably high. Coach Cory Young’s expectations are tempered but optimistic, and he recognizes Terry’s versatility as an asset to his team. “To build off of last year, even more versatility,” Young said. “We didn’t play him split-out nearly as much last year, because of Bryce Bumgardner. He’s going to have to play a lot of different positions. From a mental standpoint that won’t be hard from him.” “The mental side of the game is pretty easy for him. He really understands stuff. You can talk football with him and sit there and break things down and fix it. He gets frustrated when he doesn’t understand what’s going on,” Young said. His versatility extends off the field. His other sport, wrestling, factors into the way Terry plays the game. “A few coaches have told me they could see I was a wrestler from my film because I had good balance and good tackling form,” Terry said. “He has a wrestler’s mentality,” said Young. “Wrestlers are generally a tough breed. And when push comes to shove, they’re going to shove.” That versatility, however, leaves Terry with some tough choices. He has received interest from several schools – including Portland State, Harvard, CalPoly, Eastern Washington, and Wyoming – and each school, with their separate

set of needs and analyses of Terry’s game, have different things in mind. “I’m not sure what my main position is going to be…Different schools are asking me to play different sides. I’ve heard linebacker, safety, slotback, running back,” Terry said. The focus for the moment, though, is undeniably on the upcoming season. “The biggest goal that I have is that I really want to win league this year. It would be an awesome way to end my high school career. I want us to go further than we have in a long time,” Terry said. And this year’s unit is the most cohesive yet: it will be the first time this group of players will be on the same field together since the early part of Terry’s freshmen season. And when they’ve all been on the same team? Well, they’ve never lost. “I really think that we have everything going for us, we have not a lot to lose, and we have everything to gain. If we keep working hard and we keep showing up and we keep believing that we can have an undefeated season, then, you know, the possibilities are a little bit endless.” The journey begins Aug. 26 at McMinnville – let’s see how the possibilities unfold.
