Lifelines: Everyday heroes Paving to begin on at Columbia 9-1-1 dispatch popular commuter route

BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

Dispatchers have a tough job. They serve people at some of the worst, most difficult moments in life, working to rapidly gather and disseminate critical points of information about emergencies ranging from minor to extreme. Dispatchers might save lives by directing police, fire and/or medics to a scene, or they might be called upon to save a life over the phone.

Recently, a dispatcher at Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District was faced with exactly that challenge – saving a life by guiding a person through CPR over the phone. The heroic dispatcher declined an interview for privacy reasons.

Executive Director Steve Watson said the positive outcome deserved recognition. A 25-year veteran of the agency, Watson worked his way up the ranks from a dispatch trainee position. ­­­­

A Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District dispatcher was recently honored for helping save a life by providing CPR instructions over the phone.

Starting Tuesday, Sept.

7 and through the month of September, an Oregon Department of Transportation contractor will be repaving seven miles of U.S. 30 from the St. Johns Bridge to Cornelius Pass Road. The work is dependent on dry weather.

ODOT warns commuters to expect delays of 20 minutes or more.

The project is part of ODOT’s program to maintain and extend the life of Oregon’s highways.

The contractor will separately pave each of the four highway lanes as well as the shoulders during daytime hours. The paving will be done opposite the flow of commuter traffic to reduce back-ups.

Work in the westbound lanes will take place from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday between 7 a.m. and 11 am.

Work on the eastbound lanes, heading toward Portland, will take place 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday

Brutal injuries inflicted on two cats in St. Helens have been ruled to be human-caused Necropsy results indicated both animals suffered crushing type injuries to the skull according to St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. “ We can rule out [attacks by] animals,” Moss said. Both cats suffered similar injuries.

According to Moss, the necropsy report showed injuries consistent with trauma caused by impact.

He said that could mean the animals being hit by a club or swinging up against something.

St. Helens resident Shannon Hunsinger reported her animals returned home to her Forest Park apartment severely injured after going missing. Those injuries resulted in both animals having to be euthanized.

Hunsinger posted on social media and contacted Portland TV stations to warn other cat-owners.

Hunsinger said her three cats were playing outdoors on Aug. 25, but disappeared until the morning of Aug. 27. That’s when the first cat, Gojira, returned home badly injured. Hunsinger rushed her pet to Dove Lewis

Animal Hospital. Facing a $6,000 up-front payment to save Gojira, Hunsinger was said she left with little choice but to euthanize him.

“As horrible as I feel about it, it was probably the best thing I could have done for him,” Hunsinger said.

After Gojira was put down at around 4 a.m., Hunsinger said she drove to her mother’s house to bury him. She spent the next day looking for her other missing cat on just a few hours sleep, but Titan was nowhere to be found.

Although she received a text message from a neighbor on Aug. 26 that said Titan was spotted with an injury that morning, Hunsinger did not see Titan again until around 9 p.m. the night of Aug. 27, when he managed to find his way home. “I still cannot get the images out of my head,” she said. “My neighbors were surrounding when I arrived and had already called the police because it was extremely evident it wasn’t done by any animal, and being the second kitty in one day with similar injuries it

was no car either.”

Hunsinger said, “Police showed up – animal control showed up and euthanized Titan on my doorstep.” She said Gojira was exhumed and turned over to animal control for examination.

Both animal received necropsies at Oregon Humane Society in Portland.

Moss said after the story broke, his office received numerous reports of other injured or dead cats, but no leads on who might have committed the acts. “We still don’t know how or who did it,” Moss said.

On Sept. 1, the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) announced it would offer a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and cruelty to animals conviction of the perpetrator(s).

“PETA called me Wednesday night I believe asking for permission to start a reward fund,” Hunsinger said.

Hunsinger said she does not have any suspects, but has relayed some tips from social media to the police.

Officer Brent Thompson and K-9 Ryder.

New K-9 team to hit the streets in St. Helens St. Helens Police Department is looking to take a bigger bite out of crime.

On Aug. 23, the department welcomed its newest officer to the force, a 17-month-old K-9 named Ryder.

K-9 Ryder is a purebred German Shepherd and will be handled by Officer Brent Thompson. Ryder is the department’s fifth K-9, replacing former K-9 Lycos, who retired from service

in November of 2014.

This will be Thompson’s first time serving as a K-9 handler.

Ryder was born in Hungary, and St. Helens Police Department acquired the dog through Vohne Liche Kennels West in California.

Ryder comes to St. Helens with some training in bite work using a sleeve.

In October, Ryder and Thompson will attend a 10-

week academy in Portland to test Ryder’s workability, obedience, tracking and bite work. If all testing and training goes according to plan, Ryder will pass his standards and be approved to work by late 2016.

Safety First the theme on local school buses

BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Kathy Murphy of Rainier has been a bus driver for 22 years.

She is one of several drivers who you will see behind the wheel transporting students to and from school.

The Rainier School District has contracted with Mid-Columbia Bus Company since 2003 for its 18-route 22-driver student transportation system.

Mid-Columbia’s Regional Director of Operations Bob Osborn said all the drivers undergo extensive training before being assigned school bus routes.

“Drivers must be First Aid/CPR certified and be able to obtain a Class B CDL with school bus, passenger and air brakes endorsements, as well as a school bus license from the Oregon Department of Education,” he said.

“Additionally, they receive training and annual refreshers on other related topics including things like bloodborne pathogens, student management and bullying prevention. New hires receive training and support in all aspects of the testing process.”

Murphy said one of the key challenges as a bus driver is managing her student passengers.

“Driving is easy,” she said. “But when you get several children behind you it can be challenging. It’s just one or two that you have to really work hard with.”

She credits the time she has spent with her own children in helping her deal with her young bus passengers.

“You have to have patience,” she said. “And not be quick to jump like a

sergeant. Many times I use my mirror and the kids can see me. So it can be just a look and they know exactly what to do.”

Murphy also uses an inbus speaker system to help keep order.

“This allows me to talk to them rather than shouting at them,” she said.

Inside each bus is posted a list of student rules that Murphy said are helpful to the younger children.

“We have basic rules that the kids learn when they come on board that teach them how to sit down and keep their hands to themselves when the bus is moving,” she said.

Osborn said additional on-board security also helps the drivers and the students.

“There are camera systems on all of our buses, for everyone’s protection,” he said. “The drivers do handle discipline on the bus, concerning most issues. When issues are of a more serious nature, they are turned over to school administrators.”

Osborn said student safety is the responsibility of everyone on the bus.

“Our school bus rules have been developed and implemented for the purpose of providing a safe environment for the students,” he said. “When the students follow these rules, the bus ride is a safer and more pleasant experience for everyone.”

Murphy said dealing with drivers is also a challenge.

“It is frustrating when drivers are not observing the student boarding bus lights,” she said. “I think they are very unclear about what to do.”

Murphy said when the bus ambler lights on top of the bus are activated, drivers need to be watching for the school bus to stop.

“When we open our

doors, that activates our red lights and drivers need to stop at least 50 feet ahead of us and 50 feet behind us,” she said. “If we are fully off to the side of the road with just our turn signals on, it means they don’t need to stop. Drivers can pull past us cautiously.”

Murphy said the Rainer school buses do not make stops on Highway 30, but instead make off road stops picking and unloading the children on the door side of the bus.

“It’s all about the safety of the children and about the safety of drivers,” she said.

The fine for not stopping for a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing is $435.

Murphy said she became a bus driver to give back to others.

“I had a really good bus driver when I was a kid and she was kind of a mentor for me,” she said.

“I thought I could be that same person for someone else. I had five children and so it was an easy fit with the kids in school.”

Murphy said her reward is hearing from her passengers.

“Some of them may have given me a lot of grief in

their school days, but when they come back and tell me thank you for being their bus driver, that makes it all worth while,” she said.”

Murphy said being a bus driver can be a perfect fit for someone with children and who needs a part-time job.

“You are the one who greets the kids first thing in the morning and the last one that sees them after school,” she said. “And sometimes that’s the last good morning or good evening they get.”

State officials launch new preparedness campaign

V iew P oints ~ September is National Preparedness Month and a good time to think about things you can do to make sure you and your family are prepared for emergencies. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has issued a state proclamation in support of National Preparedness Month, highlighting the efforts of Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to work with communities across the state to train, educate, prepare and equip Oregonians for emergencies.

“Oregonians are known for our grit and resilience,” Brown said. “National Preparedness Month is a great reminder that we each must do our part to be personally prepared and develop family plans so we are ready for and able to quickly recover from major disasters, emergencies, and ultimately, the ‘Big One.’” This year OEM is participating in FEMA’s Ready.Gov campaign to inform and empower people

to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The campaign theme “Don’t Wait.

Communicate.” provides a call to action for families, by ave and overLy neighborhoods individuals to make an emergency plan and communicate the plan before, during and after emergencies. OEM is encouraging Oregonians to set a goal of being prepared for at least two-weeks.

“What we do today to prepare will saves lives and property tomorrow, or whenever a disaster strikes,” Oregon Emergency Management Director Andrew Phelps said. “As we build a culture of preparedness in Oregon we are empowering Oregonians to be disaster survivors not victims. We want Oregonians to be prepared not scared.”

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. There will be three services held each day with the time at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. The evening service will be mostly in the English language and the townspeople and those of the surrounding territory are cordially invited to attend.

Hope all is well with you and yours, write soon!

County commission approves pot farm near Rainier schools

BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

The Board of Columbia County Commissioners upheld the planning commission’s approval of a marijuana growing operation planned near schools in Rainier after a public hearing on the matter was held on Aug. 31.

Columbia County Planning Commission approved the application at a hearing on July 11, during which numerous opponents spoke out against the grow site. Among the concerns voiced were worries about odors, security, traffic, and community (and student) impact as well as the general appearance of placing a pot farm near a school and park.

RAD Nursery Products LLC plans to use a 24,000 sq. ft. building to house an indoor marijuana farm. The building is located across the street from Hudson Parcher Park and close to Rainier’s school sports fields.

Raj Punjabi is the president of RAD Nursery Products LLC and he said he has 10 years of experience in the medical marijuana industry. Punjabi also was the original drummer of the well-known punk rock band Green Day. Planning Division Manager Glenn Higgins presented a staff report to the commission.

Higgins said the property was originally an indoor soccer field for around 10 years, but declining activity led to a change of hands and purpose. The site became a bark dust packaging facility, which lasted around 10 years as well, according to Higgins.

Higgins said there is no question that the grow operation would be within 1,000 feet from the school prop-

erty. However, the 1,000-foot boundary rule set by the state applies to retail operations, not grow operations. Higgins also addressed the federal illegality of marijuana, but added that federal authorities announced they would not interfere with marijuana laws in states that have chosen to legalize recreational or medical sales and production.

Highlighting some of the steps Punjabi has taken to prepare the site, Higgins said it was arranged to have all deliveries and shipments take place indoors (no outside loading or unloading), water will be purchased and brought to the site and rain water will be collected (eliminating the need for a well or use of creek water for irrigation), odor controlling carbon filters and equipment will be installed (adding to the large fans and filtration system from the previous bark dust operation), and there will not be any form of retail operation at the site (thus, no traffic from customers).

Higgins said the proposed grow operation meets the zoning criteria. “We find that agriculture and forest uses will not be significantly impeded or curtailed by the new use,” he said. Higgins said the planning commission and staff recommended approval, noting a number of conditions of approval that would need to be met.

Among the conditions of approval, the company must keep the grow operations indoors, no outdoor growing will be allowed. A wastewater disposal plan must be approved by the county sanitarian, and a

parking plan must be devised as well. Also, the county does not provide the business with immunity from federal prosecution, should there be a shift in the winds at the federal level regarding marijuana laws.

Punjabi told the commissioners he has gone above and beyond what is required of him to establish a marijuana growing business. He emphasized

Rainier School District Superintendent Michael Carter said the grow operation would violate federal law. Referencing the Volstead Act during the prohibition era, Carter said federal law trumps state law and said cultivation of marijuana and

“People aren’t educated, and that’s the problem,” Raj Punjabi said. “They’re not educated on what really goes on at a marijuana grow.” that there was no intention to sell the product at the site, and said regulatory agencies would have a close watch on every aspect of the operation.

“My business should be making a minimum of $200,000 a month right now,” Punjabi said. He said the approval and appeal process has meant missing $1.2 million at this point, and he questioned the validity of some public comments against the grow operation as the discussion wandered from legal to moral concerns.

“People aren’t educated, and that’s the problem,” Punjabi said. “They’re not educated on what really goes on at a

securing the site with armed guards represents a violation of federal law. Punjabi later responded that there would not be armed guards involved.

Carter reminded the commissioners of their oath to uphold the constitution, and said, “You’re in a very difficult position – you have federal law that says this is illegal and state law saying it’s OK.” He also pointed out that the federal government and the Drug Enforcement Agency recently reaffirmed the Schedule I status of marijuana, which categorizes the drug on the same level as cocaine and heroin.

Punjabi challenged the moral opposition to the grow

site, saying the matter at hand was a legal one and should be examined as such. He suggested that there would not be so much opposition if he had proposed a brewery, adding that he has already invested $200,000 in the business and indicated he did not expect such a lengthy approval process.

“We aren’t talking about right or wrong here, we’re talking about land use,” Punjabi said. “Do I meet all the needs? I believe I do.”

“I may not like all the laws that are passed by the legislature, and I surely don’t like some of the ones we passed by initiative,” County Commissioner Earl Fish said, adding that he feels passing Measure 91 was a mistake. “But as it was pointed out, I was sworn to obey and uphold the laws of the State of Oregon and to abide by them.” and

Fisher said for a law to be considered unconstitutional it must be challenged. He said the state’s marijuana law conflicts the federal laws, and suggested it should be challenged in the court system. Fisher said the federal government has declined to prosecute marijuana laws in states that legalized the drug, noting the Cave Junction case that has yet to yield a clear verdict in their attempt to dispute Measure 91.

“Until it’s challenged in a conflict between the feds and the state and a decision is made, we are put it in, as was mentioned, a very difficult position of trying to decide what is right,” Fisher said. “I hope that the courts will come out and say you can’t do it, but they haven’t.”

The decision might still be appealed at the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals.

City pitches lagoon as disposal site The City of St. Helens is pushing forward with plans to reclaim about 39 acres of waterfront property now occupied by the wastewater treatment lagoon.

On Sept. 2, the city submitted a letter to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, asking it consider St. Helens as a disposal site for some of

the estimated 4.5 million cubic yards of material expected to be removed over the next 20 years from the Portland Harbor Superfund Site. The city estimates its site could accommodate 2.2 to 4 million cubic yards and stressed only “non-hazardous materials – sediment, sludge from its wastewater treatment plant

and soil would be used to fill the lagoon.”

The superfund site is a 12-mile stretch of the Willamette River extending from downstream of the Broadway Bridge to near the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. Both the riverbed and adjacent upland areas are contaminated from years

of industrial uses including shipbuilding, ship dismantling, treating poles with preservatives and petroleum storage.

In June, the EPA released its long awaited proposed plan for the cleanup, estimating it could cost $746 million and take seven years. The EPA took public comment on the plan until Sept. 6.

The City believes the lagoon offers advantages

over alternate disposal sites around the region. It is closer to the superfund project and offers direct access by barge or rail, making it less expensive.

Filling the lagoon would also produce usable land adjacent to the waterfront development site.

The City also expects to make money on the proposal.

In June, a consultant hired by the City to evalu-

ate the project estimated it could produce as much as $137 million, if the entire lagoon were filled.

Any facility designed to accept the material would be permitted as a solid waste landfill, the City said in its letter. It would have bottom and top liners as well as a leachate collection system and stormwater controls, the City said.

Paving to begin on popular commuter route Chamber director resigns Starting Tuesday, Sept.

7 and through the month of September, an Oregon Department of Transportation contractor will be repaving seven miles of U.S. 30 from the St. Johns Bridge to Cornelius Pass Road.

The work is dependent on dry weather.

ODOT warns commuters to expect delays of 20 minutes or more.

The project is part of

ODOT’s program to maintain and extend the life of Oregon’s highways.

The contractor will separately pave each of the four highway lanes as well as the shoulders during daytime hours. The paving will be done opposite the flow of commuter traffic to reduce back-ups.

Work in the westbound lanes will take place from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Mon-

day through Friday and on Saturday between 7 a.m. and 11 am.

Work on the eastbound lanes, heading toward Portland, will take place 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturday between 7 a.m. and noon.

Work will start on the inside lanes and, once complete, will shift to the outside lanes and shoulders.

ODOT asks that motorists be patient and watch out for workers, cyclists and pedestrians in the work area.

The contractor will provide accommodations for people biking and walking in the work zone.

Dispatch From PAGE A1

Watson said the training for dispatchers is crucial.

A caller may be under tremendous stress, injured or in active danger, which may make it difficult to clearly communicate the key details of the situation. When emotions are running high, dispatchers must be the calming center of the storm, urging patience while assuring help is on the way.

Watson said one of the common criticisms for dispatchers is that they ask too many questions. He said while a caller is answering questions, a dispatcher is likely multitasking, preparing or directing responders to the scene. “They don’t always see that we’re doing two or three things at once,” Watson said.

“We train our folks to immediately start from the beginning of the conversation and obtain the information in the order that makes sense to them to cut down on the amount of time it takes to process,” Watson said. The data is collected and entered into the computer system in a specific order, and rushing that leads to the risk of missing an

Text 9-1-1

Text-to-9-1-1 launched Aug. 23 at Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District, which joined six other dispatch centers in the Portland metro area as the first in the state to incorporate the service into their operations.

important detail or possible confusion for responders.

“When someone calls 9-1-1, the very first piece of information that we want to know is where they are,” Watson said. “If I don’t know where they are or where the situation is, I have really limited my ability to help them.”

Knowing that sometimes a 9-1-1 caller will have a short time to talk, Watson said getting that vital location information makes it possible to send help while gathering other necessary details. While some callers are focused on relaying what is happening in an effort urge a rapid response or better explain the emergency, the mobile nature of our society and the increasing portion of emergency calls made from cellular phones makes location the most crucial detail.

Due to possible communication difficulties in a crisis, some questions dispatchers ask are strategic. Rather than simple yes or no answers, the questions are designed to assure engagement from callers. “In a state of panic, people will answer yes to almost any question because subconsciously, if they answer yes it means a more affirmative approach to getting help on the way,” Watson said.

Watson said the questions also could be used to calm a caller. “When people are panicked and they’re yelling at us… If we can ask them a question that makes them stop and think, then they also stop yelling at us and we can calm them down and get the information that we need,” he said.

Emergency and nonemergency calls are both handled by the dispatchers at Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District. Knowing whether to dial 9-1-1 or call the non-emergency dispatch number is not always clearcut. Sometimes callers who should use 9-1-1 underestimate the danger of a situation, and some 9-1-1 callers are not facing an immediate emergency. According to Watson, the public is urged to use the emergency number when there is any threat of injury or death, and any time there is an in-progress emergency.

“If you’re not sure… default to calling 9-1-1 and let us make that determination,” Watson said. He added that dispatchers explain to a caller what sort of response they should expect because there may not be personnel immediately available, particularly if a call regards a non-dangerous issue or considerable time has passed since the

event of concern.

With such a stressful, important job to do, becoming a dispatcher is no easy accomplishment. Watson said dispatchers are accurate, fast-thinking individuals, able to process information from multiple inputs, and track several tasks to completion simultaneously or in rapid succession. He said a person might be a great thinker, adept at the necessary skills, but unless they are able to do those things at high speed, under tremendous pressure, they will not be successful as dispatchers.

“We need folks that can act very, very quickly and intuitively and with a high degree of accuracy,” Watson said.

A certain resiliency and toughness goes along with the territory; dispatchers are bombarded with the details of the negative side of life.

“This jobs is one that takes an awful lot of physical toll on people as well as emotional,” Watson said. “We try to maintain a healthy lifestyle outside of work… and we try to encourage that at work.”

There is fitness equipment for the employees to use at the Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District office, dispatchers are allowed some time to regroup

and decompress after tough calls, confidential counseling services are available to them and chaplains are also part of the support system.

Watson said the agency monitors the well being of the staff on a daily basis, sometimes on a call-to-call basis. “We work at it,” he said. “It’s not easy, but we work at it.”

“We are quite lucky in the fact that when you read the newspapers and you look around the U.S. and you see the bad things that are happening in many, many communities… we are pretty fortunate that we don’t have some of those things,” Watson said. Preparation and support are key aspects to the career choice, and new dispatchers are trained to know what they might encounter, but also to rely on each other when the going gets tough.

“There are a lot people that just don’t understand the elements of being a dispatcher – except for another dispatcher.” Watson said.

The job is an emotional marathon, one that requires a long-haul approach, despite the temptation to sprint through each call and run the risk of burnout.

“We try to get them to look at the big picture, how they are going to take care of themselves and how

they are going to deal with the stress of their day in the long term versus each individual time the phone rings,” Watson said, warning of what can happen due to the buildup of so much emotional baggage.

“Sometimes their career ends because they haven’t had the opportunity to keep healthy or get healthy because of the cumulative stress or the cumulative suppression of their emotions,” Watson said. He noted that at different stages of life, the job has differing impacts on dispatchers, and those who did well at one stage may face difficulty at others.

So, why do they do it?

Watson said the payoff comes when a dispatcher helps a person in crisis by providing help directly or making the connection to the help needed.

“You have situations where people call 9-1-1 because they have nowhere else to call and they don’t know what else to do,” Watson said. “And in a very short amount of time with a very defined effort, dispatchers can have all of the resources going to that person to help them fix their issues or make their day better.”

The program is webbased, but the objective is to integrate the service into the telephone systems dispatch centers use for voice calls.

The pilot project is the first push by emergency dispatch centers across the nation to incorporate new technologies 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.

9-1-1 text services were advocated for by the deaf and hearing impaired. Until now, they have had to rely on teletypewriters (TTY) to communicate with the police.

While the impact of the technology will be widespread – it can be used for covert texting with police, or situations in which speaking would be dangerous – don’t expect it to operate perfectly from the outset.

For one, it will be cumbersome at first for the operators. The new system will require

interacting with the texter, interfacing with a database, listening to the radio and speaking with the police – a considerably higher degree of multi-tasking that will take time to master.

Lack of clarity, delays in response time and unfamiliar language will also pose problems to Columbia 911. For those

reasons, if you can call, call. Voice calls will always be more efficient and effective.

The funding for the service is coming mostly out of state coffers for the 75 cent monthly charge the large majority of phone users already pay for 9-1-1 services.

Sports & Outdoors Depth at running back will be a staple of St. Helens football this season

BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net

The Lions came out swinging on opening night against Hood River Valley last Friday, beating the Eagles to the tune of 47-13.

On display was the depth and versatility head coach Cory Young had lauded prior to the season. The defense played a consistent game, forcing three turnovers; the offense protected the football; the passing game was efficient; and the Lions controlled the game on the ground with a deep rotation of runners, with seven runners combining for 35 attempts.

And that kind of game control starts with the offensive and defensive lines.

“Our o-line, d-line, they really came together well that game,” Young said. “We really controlled the line of scrimmage on both sides and that allows you to do a lot of things. Our front three did an outstanding job of stopping the run. Our o-line opened up some great holes for all our running backs so we were able to control the game on the ground.”

Senior Austin Dragoo did not play in this game, but when he returns the Lions will have six players who can carry the ball – Myles Terry, Haidon Allen, Tyler Rea, Dylan Brady, Jax Ogle and Dragoo - all of whom are capable of picking up yardage. Those five runners combined for 255 yards and four touchdowns against HRV.

The diverse running attack is not an early season anomaly either – Young isn’t in the position of some coaches, who in the early part of the season shuffle through runners to discover the eventual lead back.

He plans to utilize his bevy of running backs for the entirety of the season.

“You want to keep your guys as fresh as much you can, and if you can rotate without losing a step, that’s a really good thing. Your guys are going to be fresher on defense when you can do that. So the ability of our guys to play multiple positions and get in there and do a great job when they’re called upon makes us a much better team.”

First team all-conference running back Terry gained 97 total yards and scored two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving, and intercepted a pass on the defensive side.

Allen led the team in allpurpose yards from the line of scrimmage with 116.

Despite the offensive fireworks, it was the defensive line that set the tone for the game.

“The effort, watching our d-linemen play, up and down the line of scrimmage, chasing plays down – our overall effort on defensive was what I was really impressed with.”

Next week the Lions will face more of a challenge when they play against Columbia County rival Scappoose.

“We are 0-0,” Young said.

“Our opinion right now is that if you win a game that game’s over and you got to move on.

You got to have a good week

of work to get ready for your next game and don’t take anybody lightly.”

And Scappoose, who beat a B.C. team 40-24 in week one, is certainly not an opponent to take lightly. The big game kicks off 7 p.m. Friday at St. Helens – and tickets are currently available.

Lions remain optimistic despite La Salle loss

BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net

It was a tough early-season loss for Lions volleyball, as they fell to conference rival and main contender for the NWOC title, La Salle 3-0.

“We were picking up their hits and defending them pretty well, but we weren’t competing with them at the net like we should, putting the ball away and executing the play,” senior libero Mercedes Massey said. “I think we had a lot of energy – we all wanted it, but certain places couldn’t come together to take the win.”

Though La Salle ended up sweeping the sets, it was a closer game than the story the final results tell. Each set was won by at least five points, but these victories were punctuated by long rallies.

St. Helens, despite their height, was able to deliver timely strikes, only to be thwarted by a block or excellent La Salle defense.

That defensive style of play is the team’s identity this year – and with that approach comes a high degree of risk.

The team has to play hard and

execute to overcome teams with high-quality strikers.

“It’s our biggest thing this year, is being scrappy,” Massey said. “We got Sandy coming up and they’ve got height on their team too, so it’s definitely just being scrappy on the court is our biggest component to winning games.”

“I was proud of my team.

No one [was] playing by themselves, we definitely came together. You could tell with everyone – how much passion was on the court and how everybody wanted it. We just talked and figured out what we need to do and come back and beat them away at La Salle and work on not hitting it to their players, finding more open gaps, really making them move the ball.”

There’s no need for a talented team to begin to prematurely make adjustments, Massey said, especially after playing a tough opponent like

La Salle. The team-oriented and defensive style of play will take time to blossom, and once the execution catches up to the system, Massey believes this team can go far.

“We are definitely going to succeed,” Massey said. “We have to keep up the scrappiness and really work hard. I’m amazed by, let alone how well our serving was. Last game we had 100 per cent serving.

So I really feel our defense is going to take us far.”

100 per cent serving might not be reliable, but this Lions team has demonstrated an incredible efficacy serving the ball, going 98 percent and 100 per cent in their first two games, respectively.

The Lions have four winnable matches upcoming against Putnam, Parkrose, Milwaukie and Hillsboro, before facing off with perennially tough Sandy Sept. 20, in what should be a good litmus test for Lions volleyball.

It’s a good time to make adjustments for head coach Simon Date and the Lions soccer team after a bad opening day loss against Glencoe (8-1).

BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net

As home openers go – well, it couldn’t have gone worse for the St. Helens girls soccer team last week against Glencoe.

Head coach Simon Date and his team, however, are taking the loss in stride.

“The girls had high hopes, and I, internally, sort of had high hopes, but you try not to crush the excitement,” Date said. “But you know what you’re up against: that will probably be the best team we play all year and it’s just tough that it’s first.”

Glencoe is a 6A school that finished with a winning record last season and will likely finish in the top 10 again this year, said Date. For the Lions it wasn’t about dwelling on the loss but understanding the source of the loss and making adjustments.

“We watched tape on Friday morning,” Date said. “They could actually see things diagramed on the field – and that’s a big deal.”

“Our midfield got pulled all over the place. It’s not necessarily an ability thing it’s just, ‘Hey, Glencoe knew what they were do-

ing.’”

The schedule for the Lions doesn’t get easy immediately. On Tuesday night the Lions played at Dallas – the score for which was unavailable at the time of print – in a game that Date says will be a good test for the state of Lions soccer. The team then faces off against Astoria on the friendly artificial turf of St. Helens in what should be a winnable game against a middling 4A school.

Including the Astoria game, the next five on the docket are nonleague games, making the early part of the season the time to make adjustments.

“Our shape is a huge thing for us,” Date said.

“We get caught up with our players – they’re so enthusiastic and they want to help each other so much – that if there’s a problem over there, [they say] ‘I’ll stop whatever I’m doing. I’ll get over there and help.’”

The ability to see the game video, from a vantage point from which the whole field can be seen, was an eye-opener for the Lions. In some of the game footage, players were able to see how Glencoe manipulated the field to get players out of position,

particularly in the midfield.

At times players were as much as twenty yards out of position, giving space to strike for a capable team.

There is some silver lining in an opening loss of this proportion, however.

Though the team wasn’t able to show Glencoe what they were capable of, they learned the lesson of perseverance. “They didn’t lose any of the hustle; they were there the whole time,” Date said.

For the freshmen class especially, the loss can serve as a humbling moment and an impetus for hard work. “In a kind of a weird way I would have preferred to have lost 8-1, for [the freshmen], then to have torched some kids and for them to think, ‘Great, this is high school soccer in St. Helens,’ when it’s not. We get to battle every single week. It doesn’t matter who we play.”

Date’s hopes are still high: he wants to go undefeated throughout September, a month culminating in the first league game against what projects to be a tough matchup in Sandy on Sept. 29. The lions lost 8-0 to the Pioneers last season but we’re able to beat them over the summer.

Columbia County rugby product returns from national tournament

BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net

In Columbia County, while playing for the Crusaders, Krystal Franklin fell in love with rugby.

Years later and she’s still playing, still tackling, kicking and running - only now she’s doing it at a higher level than ever before.

She began playing at the age of fourteen for the Columbia County Crusaders, which is part of Rugby Oregon, a “State Rugby Organization (SRO) overseeing youth and high school rugby in Oregon and SW Washington.”

But her entry into the sport was more chance than anything.

“My mom wanted me in sport, she wanted me to stay active,” Franklin said.

“And one of my really good friends told me about rugby and nothing else really interested me so I said, ‘Alright I’ll give it a shot,’ and I haven’t stopped playing since.”

“It was a lot to comprehend and understand – it was a whole new game to me, whole new rules, very unfamiliar but I practiced and started playing games and started picking it up.”

For most Americans the rules and style of rugby seem foreign, but it is an intuitive game, not dissimilar

to American football. And Franklin, who was eager to learn the game, could pick things up as she went, and said that even small things like watching clips on Youtube helped her understand the game better.

Though the physicality of the game is what stands out to the average observer, Franklin points to the inclusive culture of rugby as the sport’s main draw. And that culture was a major reason why Franklin continued to play the game.

“It’s the culture. That answer is pretty popular because it’s so true,” Franklin said. “I’ve created my own little family with these ladies. Even the men’s team – we practice together and we support each other.

It’s really awesome. On the pitch we’re battling it out but when the clock’s over and we’re all done, we’re socializing, maybe having a beer, talking, chatting, just having a good time with each other.”

This ethic extends across the aisle, too: after matches it’s not uncommon to socialize with the opposing team.

“Which is crazy, but it’s good – like that’s how you meet new people and create new friendships that will last a lifetime,” Franklin said.

Most recently the Oregon Rugby Sports Union (ORSU) – the club Franklin plays for - finished fourth in

the nation in the women’s 7’s held in Denver, CO. earlier this month. American Rugby Pro ousted them in the bronze match.

What’s next for Franklin’s rugby career? She’s keeping an open mind, but at the moment she sees no reason to leave ORSU. She has been invited to participate at a collegiate skills camp for the collegiate all-American team.

“For me, that kind of felt like review,” Franklin said.

“I have the best coaches ever – I have Beckett Royce and San Juanito Moreno, who have played for the USA Eagles and have a lot of experience. Honestly, to grow my knowledge, this is a very good spot.”

This spring she will be sharing that knowledge to another generation of Columbia County women’s rugby players as an assistant coach for the high school team where her playing career began. It’s that enthusiasm and willingness to give back to the sport that keeps the future of rugby looking bright in Columbia County.

The main motivation, however, has never changed since she began to play the sport.

“If it goes bigger, that’s awesome,” Franklin said.

“But I play for the love of rugby and for the love of my teammates.”

Spor ts boosters raise funds for tennis cour t

BY KYLE BOGGS For the Chronicle

Work is underway on the St. Helens tennis courts.

CODY MANN/The Chronicle

The tennis courts at St. Helens High School are getting a facelift thanks to the tireless efforts of the St. Helens Sports Booster Club.

The Booster Club has fundraised for the past five years to cover the entire cost of the project. Early bids put the project around $130,000.

However, that number is expected to increase after workers encountered softer ground than anticipated underneath a portion of the courts. In their 201617 adopted budget, the Booster Club had $200,000 earmarked for the resurfacing project.

The tennis courts were in a state of disrepair. These courts are used not only by the high school tennis teams in the spring season, but also

by PE classes at SHHS and the community as a whole.

The only other courts available for community use in St. Helens are at Campbell Park.

At a Feb. 8, 2016, St. Helens Parks Commission meeting,

Commissioner John Brewington deemed the Campbell Park courts “a liability.”

The courts at SHHS, originally installed around 1980, were on the verge of being a major safety hazard. The surface had massive cracks in several places – some extending for the entirety of the court.

These created tripping hazards and made for difficult play.

In addition to raising money for the tennis courts, the Booster Club has provided a number of other facility upgrades for the district. The Club has purchased a new sign to be hung greeting visitors to Doc Ackerson Stadium. The Booster Club is also working to improve the security of the softball batting cage. The Boosters were instrumental in funding the current weight room at SHHS. Previously it was housed in the gym balcony.

In recent years, the Booster Club has contributed financially to the school district in a variety of ways. The Club has purchased video programs for high school teams to use,

donated funds to the middle school for uniforms and equipment as athletics returned to SHMS, purchased new roofing for the concession stand and ticket booth, and regularly spends several thousand dollars annually granting coaches items they request for the improvement of their programs.

Additionally, the Club provides countless hours of manpower. The Boosters constructed a three-bay storage shed beyond the scoreboard at the football field, repainted the outdoor concession stand in the summer of 2015, and has saved the district thousands of dollars by removing the old bleachers in the main gym and installing new lockers in the boys locker room.

Anyone wishing to learn more about the St. Helens Sports Booster Club is invited to the club’s weekly meetings.

The Boosters meet at the Kozy Korner at 7:00 a.m. every Friday that there is school in the St. Helens School District.

NWOC week one review Things perhaps could not have gone better for the Lions in week one, as not only did they pull out a road victory against 2015 playoff team Hood River Valley, but also saw their greatest competition in the NWOC lose their respective seasonopeners.

Despite a 223-yard, threetouchdown game from running back Sage Roundtree, the Hillsboro Spartans fell to last year’s NWOC powerhouse, Liberty, in a tight 3534 game. Liberty moved up to 6A this year, making this match-up a non-league game.

Wilsonville, the team that ousted Liberty in last season’s quarterfinals, also lost

73-34 in week one to South Medford. There’s no reason for the Wildcats to panic, however, as South Medford projects to be a top 6A school. Connor Neville, one of the best 5A prospects who will be playing next year at Washington State, showed off his arm, throwing for 321 yards on 30 attempts, albeit

those numbers were blemished by three interceptions, dropping his rating down to a pedestrian 79.3.

Besides the Lions, only two teams from the NWOC were able to pull out victories. Milwaukie thumped low-level 6A Benson 30-6 and La Salle beat Hudson’s Bay (WA) 42-35.

NWOC Standings League Overall La Salle 0-0 1-0 Milwaukie 0-0 1-0 St. Helens 0-0 1-0 Hillsboro 0-0 0-1 Parkrose 0-0 0-1 Putnam 0-0 0-1 Sandy 0-0 0-1 Wilsonville 0-0 0-1

The 6th Annual Wings and Wheels event comes to the Scappoose Airpark Saturday, Sept. 10. Sponsored by the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, the one-day festival features antique and custom airplanes and automobiles.

This year, a 16K road race has been added. The route takes runners through scenic countryside around the active airport at Scappoose Airpark with glorious views of wetlands & wildlife. Mt Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St .Helens all come into view as they traverse the paved, and maintained course. This road race will show visitors the wonders of bucolic Scappoose. The run ends with a pancake breakfast & a cold pint from Columbia County Brewing.

If you aren’t up for a run, there are plenty of other activities throughout the day. There are military vehicles, a tricycle race, vendor booths and kids activities. The popular local group, Hit Machine, performs from 2 – 5 p.m.

The event benefits the Columbia Pacific Food Bank and admission is a couple of cans of food, though they also accept cash donations.
