Israeli dogs arrive in St. Helens looking for a home BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net

Four dogs traveled from Israel to St. Helens in hopes of being adopted by local families. The dogs are part of an effort by Columbia Humane Society and an Israeli-based charity, Canaan Dog Project, to rescue an ancient Middle Eastern breed used for thousands of years as herding dogs. Many times, these dogs are left to fend on their own by the Bedouin tribes, and will wander into cities, looking for food, where they are captured and put into the overcrowded Israeli shelters. As Canaan dogs are a medium to large-size breed, they are at a high risk for wide-scale euthanasia in a small country where many families live in apartments. According to Program Manager Lisa Beggio, the four dogs are part of a trial program CHS is conducting. A total of 18 animals made the flight from Israel. “This is the first time we’ve been picked to join the program,” she told The Chronicle. The other animals will go to shelters in Washington. Beggio said she believes CHS is the first shelter in Oregon to participate in the rescue. “The Canaan Dogs are an independent, self-reliant breed, requiring exercise and mental stimulation,” Beggio said. “They

need ample opportunities to vent their energy and to use their intellects, by way of extensive exposure to people and novelty. They are very versatile working dogs, capable of learning a great deal, and excelling at the highest levels of competition. Consistency is key to teaching them.” Another charity, Wings of Rescue, transported the dogs to Hillsboro Airport on Tuesday. Wings of Rescue specializes in transporting healthy at-risk pets long distances from high-intake shelters to smaller no-kill shelters, like CHS. “We don’t have enough dogs to fill the needs of the adopters,” Beggio said. The four pets will be available for adoption this week, according to Beggio. Prospective adopters are required to submit to the normal screening process. Canaan dogs are an independent, self-reliant breed that requires exercise and mental stimulation. They are versatile working dogs, capable of learning a great deal and excel at the highest level of competition, according to Beggio. Community members needing information about CHS or wanting to adopt a Canaan dog can call the shelter at 503-397-4353 or email info@columbiahumane. org. For an opposing view, see the open letter to CHS on page 4.

The Columbia County Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 31 to review an appeal of an application to grow marijuana at a facility near schools in Rainier. The hearing will take place during the regular commissioner’s board meeting at the Columbia County Courthouse in St. Helens. RAD Nursery Products LLC plans to use a 24,000 square foot building to house the indoor marijuana farm. The building is located across the street from Hudson Parcher Park and close to Rainier’s school sports field.

Following a public hearing on July 11, the Columbia County Planning Commission approval RAD Nursery’s application for the marijuana operation. A number of area church representatives and other individuals, including Rainier School Superintendent Michael Carter, spoke out against the grow operation during the July public hearing. At the Rainier School Board meeting Monday night, Aug. 8, Carter outlined his plans for appeal of the decision to allow the marijuana operation. “We believe there is a federal mandate that keeps such operations 1,000 feet from schools,” ­­­­

A way out: Crossroads of mental health, criminal justice Crisis Intervention Training, a mobile crisis response unit and a jail diversion program are among the mental health solutions implemented to aid Columbia County law enforcement agencies as the number of mental health related calls continues to grow. BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

Law enforcement officers face a complex, fast-paced decision making process when they make contact with a person. From the moment they arrive on a scene, they evaluate behavior and other character aspects to determine whether the situation includes a mental health aspect. With the number of mental health related calls to law enforcement increasing, many agencies are looking for a different approach. According to Chief of Police Terry Moss, St. Helens Police Department had some catching up to do in the past few years regarding the approach to calls that might be influenced by mental health issues. Lacking a local program, in the past the department sent an officer at a time to nearby agencies to attend a weeklong, 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training. “There was some value to that,

CODY MANN/The Chronicle

but when you understand what CIT is all about, the real value comes from training and teaching and working in your own community, rather than going off to Portland or Clackamas County,” Moss said. Discussions with the sheriff and other chiefs led to a CIT steering committee that devised a plan to address gaps in law enforcement service as it pertains to mental health issues, such as the need for a local CIT training

Carter told The Chronicle following the school board meeting. “Just because it might be legal doesn’t mean it is the right thing to do for our kids.” Carter also pointed out that the mandates do not allow firearms to be used in such a marijuana grow operation. “They have already said they are going to have armed vehicles to take out the marijuana and that violates the thing and that’s the out, in my opinion, for the commissioners,” Carter said. Carter said the county commissioners can take up to 30 days following the appeal hearing to

Senior project: St. Helens students Stuff The Bus Back to School can be an exciting time for students, but it can also be a time of great anxiety. For families who have less, finding the money for school supplies is not always easy. Thanks to the United Way Stuff The Bus program, students who might not have everything they need for classes still have a place to turn. Hoping to do something significant for their community, two incoming St. Helens High School seniors picked up the responsibility of collecting schools supplies for Stuff The Bus in their district. Kristi Ward, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent and the School Board, brought the idea up to Cambria Cross, who recruited Hannah Gus-

tafson to help. Needing to complete a senior project prior to graduation, Cross and Gustafson chose to get involved with the school supply drive. “A lot of kids don’t do as much to help the community as they could,” Cross said. “I really wanted to help kids.” Cross and Gustafson are looking forward to completing their senior project before the school year starts. Cross and Gustafson crafted collection boxes and delivered them to various locations in the area, asking previous supporters and new ones to display the boxes and help St. Helens students head off to school better prepared. Cross said she wants

a career as a pediatrician in the future, and she felt the Stuff The Bus project would be a good chance to get some experience working with children. She hopes to attend Oregon State University after high school. Gustafson said she also wanted to do a senior project that would benefit children. She is making plans for her post-graduation future, still unsure of where the future might take her. Gustafson said the goal of Stuff The Bus is to make sure all students have the supplies they need to succeed, and to relieve the anxiety of coming to school unprepared.

Despite cooler, wet weather fire danger remains high

Local and state fire officials are urging residents and visitors to be extremely cautious as we head into the final days of summer and the Labor Day Holiday due to do the high fire danger. Fire crews have been busy over the past few weeks putting out human caused illegal burns and bark dust fires. “It’s already been a tough fire season,” Oregon Department of Forestry’s Fire Prevention Coordinator Tom Fields said. “While we have been fortunate with minimal lightningcaused fires, our concern is with human-caused fires.” Low humidity, high temperatures and gusting winds have intensified the fire danger. Check with your local fire district for recreation and other fire restrictions. Keep Oregon Green Association (KOG) has been partnering with state and federal wildland fire agencies for the last 75 years to increase awareness of Oregon’s wildfire risk and to educate the public in the prevention of humancaused wildfires. “Besides the fact that or at we have had more than ory 50 illegal or unattended campfires lead to wildfires d this summer, patrolling fire crews have extinguished nearly 100 campfires that d m were not completely put

ry

out before people left,” KOG Executive Director Kristin Babbs said. “It only takes one of these careless acts to lead to the destruction of our forests. Our plea to the hunters and public in general is to be vigilant and have fire prevention front and center in their minds when enjoying what our state has to offer.” The following is a conversation with Oregon Department of Forestry Public Affairs spokesman Rod Nichols concerning the high fire danger in Columbia Country. The Chronicle: What are the conditions (weather and fuels) and their causes that have elevated the fire danger to high in our area. Nichols: While 2016 hasn’t equaled the severity of the 2013, 2014 and 2015 wildfire seasons statewide so far, that has been due chiefly to the reduced incidence of dry lightning this summer. Conditions in the forest are currently extremely dry. Ignitions – whether caused by people or Nature – could cause new fires to burn violently and spread rapidly. The Chronicle: Is there a potential of an explosive late summer and fall fire season, and if so why? What are the weather projections that might be concerning? Nichols: The forecast

looks fairly favorable: The region appears to be headed for a steady downturn in fire activity due to widespread rain and increasing moisture. But weather forecasts can be wrong, and, also, conditions locally can vary significantly from a general forecast. The 2016 wildfire season has been moderate so far due to initial-attack resources at the local level that have caught many high-potential fires at small size this summer. Also, ODF’s fire managers have been successful at moving the various resources (fire crews, fire engines, aircraft) around the state in anticipation of severe fire conditions. This bolstered local forces when temperatures soared, enabling them to hit new fire starts hard. The Chronicle: Can you provide us with the number of fires ODF has responded to in Columbia County this summer and is that more or less (numbers) over last summer? Nichols: In the Columbia Unit of ODF’s Forest Grove District, there have been 16 reportable humancaused wildfires this year to date (no lightningcaused fires) on ODFprotected lands. Those fires burned about nine acres total. The 10-year average for this period of the year is 11 total fires burning about 14 acres. The aver-

age shows 10 of those fires as human caused (burning about 14 acres) and one lightning-caused fire burning less than an acre. The Chronicle: The Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District chief tells us the majority of wildland fires in this area are human caused. Is that a trend across the state and why are we seeing that? Nichols: ODF’s statistics for the Columbia Unit certainly corroborate the fire chief’s statement. Statewide this year to date, 61 lightning-caused fires have burned 2,339 acres, and 544 human-caused fires have burned 3,035 acres. The statewide 10year average is 497 humancaused fires burning 4,977 acres, and 278 lightningcaused fires burning 28,733 acres. Compared to the average, then, 2016 has been unusual so far in that the acreage burned by humancaused fires has exceeded the acreage burned by lightning fires. Typically, the majority (two-thirdsplus) of the fires are human caused, but the majority of acres burned results from lightning fires. The Chronicle: What is the message to the public about this danger? Nichols: 2016 has been a moderate wildfire season so far. But dry, windy weather in late summer and early fall could cause fires

started by carelessness to grow rapidly and threaten lives and property. The Chronicle: What should property owners do beyond the defensible space preps to best prepare for the danger? Nichols: Under the current dry, warm conditions we don’t recommend mowing un-irrigated grass or trimming trees and shrubs

in dry situations. Wait till the fall rains take hold, and then perform those cleanup tasks to improve defensible space. Other defensible-space projects such as planting fireresistant landscaping and replacing shake roofs with fire-resistant materials can be conducted at any time.

reason for being in jail are mental health conflicts that lead to criminal behavior. We are working more closely with the courts and mental health services in our County to identify those inmates who could benefit from a diversion program designed to get treatment for offenders who qualify. There are some who believe the best thing to do with offenders is to stack them like cord wood without distinction. That is not the way we operate here in Columbia County, however. Because the local jail is never the final landing place for those who commit crimes – and most inmates end up back in our communities – it behooves us to use the time and resources we have wisely: To create an atmosphere where, if you’re doing the time associated with the crime, you do it with dignity and with the hope for a better tomorrow.

A new radio station is coming to the St. Helens area On Aug. 18, the City Council of Columbia City approved a lease agreement for antennas to be placed on the city-owned water tower. The station owner, Friends of 88.5 fm, plans to begin broadcasting by Dec. 6. The Columbia City antenna, also called a translator, will rebroadcast a signal that originates at the home station in Tacoma according to chief engineer Lowell Kiesow. The station’s format is jazz and blues music along with NPR news and programming. It will broadcast on a frequency of 86.7 MHZFM according to lease documents.

Friends of 88.5 FM purchased the Tacoma station from its present owner Pacific Lutheran University, after the college decided to terminate the station. The nonprofit group takes over Aug. 31 after raising money to buy the station. “18,000 listeners raised $7 million to buy the station,” Kiesow said. Its new call letters are KNKX. Kiesow said the station served remote areas of southwest Washington with translators since the 1980s. According to Kiesow, when a filing window for the license from the Federal Communications Commission opened up for the Columbia County area,

the station jumped at the opportunity. “Openings for signals are very hard to find,” he said. The translator will serve Columbia City and St. Helens in Oregon and Woodland, Wash. Kiesow said the organization has a construction

Calendar featuring CRFR firefighters and animals from CHS are for sale. The proceeds benefit CHS.

St. Helens graduate creates calendar to benefit CRFR, CHS A recent high school graduate used her senior project as an opportunity to shine a light on two important local agencies. Seniors at St. Helens High School are required to complete a service project as part of graduation. Kyleah Puyear chose to create a calendar that would recognize Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR) and benefit Columbia Humane Society (CHS). It was also a project that tied in with aspects of her prospective future. An interest in journalism led Puyear to the High School Journalism Institute, a newsgathering summer camp for students of diverse backgrounds that is run by The Oregonian and Oregon State University. She spent

most of her senior year and summer exploring the options in the media industry. She will begin coursework at Portland Community College this fall, with the ultimate goal of transferring to University of Montana.

Puyear graduated this past year, but still needed to complete a senior project. During the summer, she spent time at the school working on a calendar that brought CRFR personnel together with animals from CHS. While creating the calendar, she learned she was drawn to the design elements of media. She doesn’t mind writing and reporting, but creating was more interesting to her. Puyear

was editor-in-chief of the yearbook during her senior year, which allowed her to experiment with the world of design. “My junior year we decided to take the kind of formula that we’ve had for our yearbook and completely change it to where we don’t have the cookiecutter yearbook anymore,” Puyear said. “It was a lot of work... and then after I realized I liked doing that.” She decided to explore deeper into the media industry and found herself working on the calendar project through her advisor’s recommendation. Puyear said creating the calendar was very challenging. She had to coordinate the photo shoots with the

fire station and the humane society, take the photos herself, and learn how to direct not only people, but also wrangle cats and dogs as well with the assistance of Lisa Beggio from CHS. Self-editing through the mass of photos to find the right choices was no easy task either. She also had to learn the design program InDesign, a complicated application that is used to arrange the design of print products. Aside from some website instruction, she essentially had to learn the program herself. “Eventually it came down to spending hours on the computer trying to figure out one thing until I got it to do what I wanted to do,” Puyear said.

The credit for the calendar concept that combined firefighters and animals goes to Cindy Miller, a former athletic director at the high school. Puyear said Miller saw another humane society do something similar, and wanted to bring a feel-good project to St. Helens. “That humane society had this amazing rescue of a dog,” Puyear said. “And they tried to bring attention to that dog, so they used their attractive firefighters to do it.” Puyear said Miller wanted to do more than that, something to recognize the work done by those you might not see or know in the community, such as the fire department, and something that brought attention to the needs of the animals at

CHS. Miller brought the idea to the yearbook advisor, who turned to Puyear for the project. Calendars are available for $10 at the CRFR administration office located at 270 Columbia Blvd. Calendars can also be purchased from CHS, located at 2084 Oregon Street. The proceeds benefit CHS. Don’t wait to get yours, just 300 were printed and they are expected to be hot items. Puyear said the calendar project is meant to be a continuing one, with a new senior taking it on each year. She already picked the student who will follow up, and while the themes will change as the years pass, the concept of community recognition will remain.

Property owner Pat ary Lockhaven, of Portlandbased Lockhaven Realty sion Advisors, said the value ore of the proposed business 1739. development could be in the low millions of dollars. Lockhaven describes the tenants interested in the develop as medium to high-end businesses. “We have letters of interest from several potential tenants,” he said. “We can’t really disclose their names yet. There will not be any big box stores. We will have medium and small box stores with 200,000 square feet of retail. We have commitments for 55,000 square feet, the other 90,000 will be pads for a bank or restaurants where we won’t control the building, just the land.” Lockhaven anticipates the project would include a large food court with small local vendors, a weekly Farmers Market, a coffee

Lockhaven said the decision to resurrect Columbia Crossing was based on a change of attitude and the economy. “Originally, we spent too much time worried about a big box tenant that financial institutions always wanted,” he said. “And obviously, the economy has improved, so out timing is good.” Even though the needed permits and a traffic JEREMY C.

Mental health

From PAGE A1

ers the tools to address a mental health crisis, local CIT training is organized by Columbia Community Mental Health, utilizing the experience of law enforcement officials from in and out of the county, criminal justice professionals such as judges and mental health agencies from other areas. “Because mental health issues are so prevalent in our community and every other community, it becomes a big part of what we do, dealing with these issues,” Moss said. Though diagnosing mental health issues is not typical police work, more and more officers are asked to determine whether what they are facing is a criminal activity or something driven by a deeper problem. “That’s part of why the CIT training is so important,” Moss said. He said the training gives officer more tools for assessing, deescalating, and resolving a crisis. Moss said a CIT training coordinator was hired thanks to a grant from the federal government and countywide CIT training will begin soon. Every police department in the county and the sheriff’s office will be able to conduct training through the program, as will the local fire agencies. In more populated areas, there are typically specific officers with CIT training, but due to department sizes in Columbia County, Moss said the plan is for everyone to complete the program. Currently, around 25 percent of his department has completed the weeklong program. Taking an officer out of circulation with a small department makes scheduling difficult, and Moss said it could be a few years before everyone has the opportunity to attend a training, which is offered two or three times a year. The program consists of a comprehensive course list that explores different types of issues and how to approach them, utilizing discussions, lectures, roleplaying scenarios and other strategies to reduce the volatility of a crisis scene. Mobile Crisis Response Unit There are times when a mental health crisis is the root cause of what brings law enforcement into contact with a person. When that is the case, sometimes a mental health professional can talk down what might have become an arrest. Moss gave the example of responding to a reported suicidal person, saying the first question officers must answer is whether the subject presents an immediate danger to themselves or others. If officers believe that to be the case, they contact CCMH to coordinate a hospital stay. The time-

consuming process often takes the officer off the street for several hours or more as they transport a subject to a Portland-area hospital for evaluation. In some cases, officers are able to connect a subject with CCMH by phone and find a way to resolve the issue, but Moss and others are advocates for having crisis managers respond to the scene for a more effective approach, a face-to-face interaction. Moss said that personal contact could lessen the time officers are tied down with mental health related calls. “Maybe they just had an encounter with this person two days ago at CCMH,” Moss said. “They already know what the person’s issues are, what kind of medication they’re on, they know way more than a police officer will ever know.” “You really have to work hard to build a rapport with someone who is in a crisis in order to get them to trust you to provide services,” Linda Pritchett said. Pritchett is the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program Manager for CCMH and works closely with law enforcement officials in the county. Pritchett said one aspect of their approach is the use of peer support specialists, individuals often with a mental health or addiction background, who have been successful with treatment and can provide firsthand experience to a person in crisis. Jail Diversion Program If a subject’s behavior is clearly criminal and requires an arrest, but officers feel there is some mental health circumstance that influenced the crime, there is an opportunity for resolution without a jail stay. Moss gave the example of a man who stripped naked in a busy McDonalds and washed himself in the soda fountain, refusing to leave. His actions were clearly criminal, but the mental health aspect was more complicated. The man was not an immediate danger to himself or others, so he did not fit the bill for what is called a peace officer hold, the legal authority to take a person to the hospital for an evaluation. The officers were left with little choice but an arrest. Moss questioned whether the criminal justice system was the right place to deal with that incident and also get the man the help needed for his mental health issue. Columbia County Jail recently began a jail diversion program to address the issue of mental health related arrests. During the intake process, an arrestee goes through an evaluation. Those who fit the criteria might be diverted from the criminal justice system to the mental health system for treatment rather than punishment. The person still faces

the criminal charges, but there are options for a different resolution. If the jail staff, the attorneys and CCMH determine jail diversion is a good fit, CCMH lobbies the court system for release to some form of treatment program or plan. If a person completes the jail diversion program and completes their treatment plan as approved by CCMH, the district attorney’s office and the judge, there is the opportunity for the charges they faced to be dropped. Referring back to the naked man washing himself in the McDonalds soda fountain, Moss said the reality is that many such cases result in subjects who miss court dates due to homelessness or other issues, which leads to warrant and further arrests, perpetuating a cycle that does not look to resolve the underlying mental health problem. “That story has repeated itself over and over again all over the country,” Moss said. With so many arrests linked to mental health issues, Moss said the jail diversion program was a necessary tool in the new approach his department and others are taking. Captain Tony Weaver is the jail commander at Columbia County Jail. He said arrestees are observed for mental health issues from the moment they ar-

problem, mental health problem or combination of the above demands a high level of training. Weaver estimated around 15-30 percent of inmates simply behaves badly, and they can be hard to distinguish from those with mental health issues. If an inmate has a mental health issue, but is not eligible for diversion, they

Asked if jail could have a negative effect on those suffering from a mental health issue, Captain Tony Weaver, jail commander, said “absolutely.” rive, adding that sometimes the arresting agency will indicate a mental health concern when transferring a subject to the jail’s custody. As part of the 25-30 minute booking process, arrestees are asked to complete two separate mental health questionnaires. If subject indicates a mental concern such as feeling depressed, overwhelmed or suicidal during booking, a mental health provider will be asked to assist with the classification process that determines how an inmate will be categorized and housed within the jail. Weaver said he estimated around 30 percent of the inmates at the jail are determined to have significant mental health issues to a level that it has a significant impact on their behavior. That is one reason all the deputies get some training in mental health, and a reason Weaver would like to see all the deputies receive CIT training. Mental health in jail The complexity of assessing on short notice whether an inmate suffers from a drug problem, anger

are able to work with the mental health provider at the jail for medication and other needs. If the inmate is already connected to CCMH, the jail can provide access for the agency, helping get treatment plans on track or passing treatment plans to the jail’s mental health provider. That information also can be tracked back to CCMH when the inmate is released. An inmate could also refuse to participate with treatment; the jail cannot force them to take medication or see a professional. During an inmate’s time, deputies and the mental health provider keep a close watch for changes in behavior or mental health concerns. Those who cannot meet the jail’s behavioral standards are moved to a more isolated setting, the administrative segregation unit. Much like the pain of the original arrest, for those with mental health issues, the next level of punishment is not necessarily always the best answer. There is also the counter concern, of course, that a person will put on act of mental illness to take

advantage of the system or to arrange for transfer to a less-secure hospital setting. To make the best judgment, Weaver said more training for everybody is the answer. “Our staff does a good job, but at the same time we all need more training,” Weaver said. He added that funding from federal government for mental health facilities would provide some relief on the criminal justice system. Asked if jail could have a negative effect on those suffering from a mental health issue, Weaver said absolutely. Despite all the support staff and opportunities for treatment, some inmates refuse to participate, act out and find themselves facing disciplinary measures that drag them further down. “The tools we have to control a person’s behavior to protect them and others are not good for mentally ill people,” Weaver said. “We lessen their contact with other people, we take more and more privileges from them, less time out of their cell, it just continues to be a smaller and smaller box that we put this person into, and all the evidence shows that deteriorates their mental health.” Treatment or punishment? It ultimately boils down to what law enforcement is able to determine through investigation, mental health issue or plain criminal activity or some combination.

Moss said sending a person to jail who is suffering a crisis does not help, and if there is a better resolution it is worth looking at. Moss gave the analogy that if your loved one had a heart attack, you would call 911 and medical help would come. However, if you call 911 because a loved one is armed and suicidal, for example, officers are going to react as trained to make the scene physically secure, but that leaves the mental health concern unaddressed, and may even cause it to worsen. “A mental health issue is a health issue… but with mental health, when you’re having a breakdown you get put in handcuffs, put in a police car, you could have guns pointed at you, you could be tased… and then transported in a police car to Portland… that’s not the way to treat mental illness, and in some cases I think you could argue that it makes it worse… it can be traumatic.” Moss said unfortunately, in many situations either the person in crisis is getting hurt or killed, and in some cases the officers involved are getting hurt or killed, and he hopes to see the philosophy of deescalation lead to less use of force, fewer injuries for all involved, and faster call turnaround. “People with mental health issues are all around us every day,” Moss said. “That doesn’t make it criminal.”

Sports & Outdoors Q&A: Catching up with a Hood to Coast participant The Hood to Coast Relay took place this past weekend, with runners and walkers from all over making a pit stop in St. Helens. The 198-mile course began with 8 teams for the event in 1982, and according their website, the event expected 12,600 runners for 2016. We caught up with Della Fawcett a Columbia County resident who participated in the Portland to Coast leg of the event, to ask her a few questions about why she took on the challenge. Portland to Coast began in 1991 and is a 129-mile course. This year more than 4,000 walkers were expected to participate. Question: Tell us a little about yourself. Della Fawcett: I am from Warren, currently living in Clatskanie with my husband and dog. I work as a geologist in the Portland area, and as an online wellness coach, which means my hobbies are talking about earthquakes and fitness. I spend a large part of my spare time running, hiking and crafting – all of which I find incredibly fun. I even took some knitting with me during Portland to Coast. Q: What inspired you to get involved with Hood to Coast? DF: I grew up in Columbia County and always saw the race growing up, which really sparked my interest. Once I was in high school, I did the high school run a couple times. I have not been able to find a running team to join since high school, so I have walked it or volunteered for other teams the past few years. This year was my fourth time walking and sixth time overall.

Q: How did you prepare for the challenge physically and mentally? DF: To be completely honest, I did not physically prepare at all. Joining a walking team was a last minute decision and I usually get my exercise by running. So, I figured running would prepare me. Let me tell you right now – I was wrong. I am sore in places that I have never been sore, and I have multiple blisters on both feet. I think walking Portland to Coast is much harder than running it. I also did not do much to mentally prepare because I love any and all outdoor activities. Therefore, the thought of getting to walk for 20 miles, by myself, alone with my thoughts, actually sounded like a vacation for me. So, I was really excited. Q: Describe the trek a little, how was it when you started out, how were you feeling at the halfway point, and what was it like at the end? DF: I was completely pumped when I started around 8:30 a.m. at Scap-

poose High School. My team was all from Portland, so they gave me the Scappoose to St. Helens leg because it was my neck of the woods. I was so excited to wave at people I knew driving down Highway 30 that I walked it way faster than I had predicted and my support van almost missed me. I also did not notice the big blisters forming on my feet at the time. By the second leg, my feet were sore, but the walk was through the MistBirkenfield area at 9 p.m. The stars were out and it was perfectly clear. I was alone on the road for much of it and I would just turn off my headlamp and look up at the stars as I walked; that leg ended much too quickly. By the end, on my third leg, which was about 8 miles, I was much less excited. I did not sleep much the night before and I had gotten very stiff sleeping in a car. But the last leg was through rolling hills and farmland, so I passed the time talking to all the livestock I passed, and stopping to cheer on the runners passing me. The running groups from Mt. Hood started to pass the walkers in the early

morning, and I really love to see the top athletes run by, though I was very jealous. Q: Did anything strange or exciting happen along the way? DF: I know most folks were excited to see Kevin Hart in the race, and I did get to see him pass by a few times, but really, the excitement for me was watching the two women in my van complete their first Portland to Coast. They were a combination of nervous and excited for their three legs and they both rocked them, in tough conditions. They were so proud of themselves, as they should have been. Q: Are you going to do it again? Will you change anything about your preparation or execution the next time? DF: I will absolutely do it again, only next time I am going to make sure I find a running team. I heard that you can sign up as a single runner and get picked up by a team that needs one more. I figure that is what I will do next year. It will be a good way to meet new people.

Garden Plots BY CHIP BUBL Oregon State University Extension Service

Beekeeping class: Getting beehives ready for winter There will be a free class on Thursday, September 15th from 6:30pm until 8:00 pm at the Extension Office in St. Helens about preparing your hives for a successful winter cycle. This class is a follow-up to the beginning beekeeping class that was held several months ago. But you don’t have to have had that class to attend this one. Many beehives are lost due to poor winter preparation. This class should help guide you through the options you have to reach spring with strong hives. For more information, call the Extension Office at 503397-3462.

trees can be sprayed with copper by late September to early October and then again when the leaves have dropped. For more information, go to the OSU website on the subject: http:// pnwhandbooks.org/plantdisease/apple-malus-sppanthracnose-bulls-eye-rot Shopping for fall color If you are looking to add some fall color to your landscape, this is the time to shop for those trees or shrubs. The mix of red, orange, and yellow pigments that are hidden by the chlorophyll in the leaf is largely

genetically determined. In addition, some trees produce new pigments in response to fall including blue, purple, and others. When chlorophyll starts to break down as the tree starts to respond to the longer nights that portend fall, the hidden pigments are revealed. Nurseries that have a good stock of shade trees can help you locate the right tree for you in relation to fall color (go when the leaves have turned), size, and shape. Sunny days followed by cool night make the colors more brilliant and intense but the general pigment profile is largely genetic.

Storing carrots and potatoes Carrots do store well in the ground except for two issues, field mice (voles) and carrot root maggot. If you don’t have mice (or rats) and have seen no sign of carrot rust fly maggot damage (surface tunneling that darkens on the roots) then it is OK to leave them there until late January. After that, you need to bring them in to avoid them turning bitter in response renewed growth that leads ultimately to flowering. Also never store potatoes and carrots with either apples or onions. The ethylene gas given off by apples or onions will cause the carrots to get bitter and the potatoes to sprout.

Late blight alert There is a forecast for a period of wet weather for the end of this week and possibly longer. Warm, wet conditions are ideal for the development of potato and tomato late blight. This fungal disease has the capacity to completely kill tomato plants and ruin the fruit that is already set. It is possible to slow the disease with a copper spray. But it must be applied before the disease really starts to move. What I would suggest for now is to pick the tomatoes that are ripe or almost ripe and bring them inside. Most can keep for quite a few weeks. At the same time, remove any diseased leaves. Finally, spray the foliage and remaining fruit with copper. The copper is easily removed from the fruit by washing. Many copper formulations are considered organically acceptable. If your potato foliage has died back, harvest your potatoes. The disease will affect potatoes as well and can move through the soil and into the tubers. If this turns out to be a false alarm, the copper spray will have done no harm and may be still somewhat protective if the same forecast reappears in two weeks. Apple anthracnose Some apple varieties are prone a bark disease called apple anthacnose. It can produce severe lesions on limbs that are often oval or circular in shape. While the limbs are infected in the fall when the rains start, new lesions don’t show up until the next spring. By late spring, the lesion is about as big as it will get but it can continue to spread spores for several more years. Severely diseased limbs can be pruned out when it is dry in the fall after the fruit is off. That will be early this year so it is worth thinking about. The
