CES and CMHS students collaborate for first time on Christmas musical “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” – Buddy the elf

For the first time, the Clatskanie School District is bringing together students from Clatskanie Middle/High School (CMHS) with elementary school students in collaboration on this year’s musical Christmas production, set to premiere at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 12 in the CMHS auditorium. The students will perform in Elf The Musical Jr., based on the 2003
New Line Cinema hit film starring Will Ferrell. The play will feature songs by Tony Award nominees Matthew Skylar (The Wedding Singer) and Chad Beguelin (Disney’s Aladdin on Broadway), with a book by Tony Award Winners, Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Bob Martin (The Drowsy Chaperone.) The story follows Buddy, a young orphan, who mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised there,
unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities prompts him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. When faced with the harsh reality that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy becomes determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Director Jaime Erwin said the collaboration with the elementary school kids began with simply asking various groups if anyone would be interested in attempting the feat. They students will also be performing Wizard of Oz in the spring, and Erwin said they were hoping to have some munchkins. “So, this is our trial run to see if that’s going to work out,” Erwin said. “But they are kicking butt.” To prepare the younger students, Erwin created ‘Elf Camp,’ where the majority of the middle
school choir and a couple of middle school students who aren’t in the class but wanted to participate help coach the younger students on their songs. Erwin said when the elementary school children were invited into the production, she laid down clear expectations: this isn’t Missoula Children’s Theatre. Each student would be expected to behave and follow directions.

Community gathers around County hires health CCMH Thanksgiving meal promotion specialist
This is us JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
Multiple businesses, non-profits and volunteers came together last week to serve over 400 members of the community a Thanksgiving meal for Columbia Community Mental Health’s (CCMH) 23rd Annual Thanksgiving Dinner. Judges, commissioners, business owners, CCMH clients and their families, and citizens gathered at the Moose Lodge on Thursday, Nov. 21 to “celebrate this amazing community we all live in.” It took some work preparing for the big day. First there was a massive amount of potatoes to contend with. The Columbia Pacific Food Bank offered a portion of their large freezer to store the potatoes until they were ready to be peeled. Warren Community Fellowship hosted a “peeling party” and, according to CCMH PR
and Director of Development Hope Wirta, employees from the St. Helens Recreation Center “peeled potatoes until their fingers fell off.” Our local Safeway donated $1,000 towards the dinner, and St. Helens Market Fresh donated 17 turkeys that weighed in at over 25 lbs. a piece. Employees with St. Helens Wauna Credit Union served and bussed tables all day. CCMH added approximately 70 volunteers to the effort, and, with the exception of the pies and rolls, the entire meal was prepared from scratch. Wirta said there were many others that contributed to the success of the event, and she loves working for a place that allows her to do something like this and call it a job. “It was just so cool to see the community be like a family having Thanksgiving dinner together,” Wirta said. “There were tears in lots of people’s eyes. It was beautiful.”

New Health Promotion Specialist for Columbia County Public Health, Suzanne Beaupre. STAFF REPORT chiefnews@countrymedia.net
In an effort to implement new public health programs, Columbia County Public Health has hired a health promotion specialist, Suzanne Beaupre, who started the new role Nov. 12. Beaupre will join a staff of eight other individuals who all operate under the public health department of Columbia County. Beaupre has a degree in Public Health from Tempe University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She said she spent many years in both Philadelphia and Portland managing medical practices, where she became well versed in healthcare systems. “I moved into the field of emergency preparedness after become a member of my neighborhood
emergency response team (NET) in Portland,” Beaupre said. “My last year was spent at the American Red Cross doing work in emergency preparedness-based community education.” Michael Paul, Public Health Administrator for Columbia County, said the position is very important for the department. “I cannot overstate the significance. Health promotion and chronic disease prevention is considered a foundational local public health program because chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, and diabetes, are major causes of disability and death, and they exact huge costs on society and all levels of government,” Paul said.

Christmas in Clatskanie Jail sergeant retires amid 2019 Tree Lighting
personnel investigations JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
A Columbia County jail sergeant has retired from the sheriff’s office amid personnel investigations prompted by an internal complaint. Sgt. Carolyn Townsend was placed on administrative leave in late October. Around that same time, jail commander Capt. Tony Weaver was also placed on leave for a separate complaint. Sheriff Brian Pixley said the two complaints were unrelated and do not involve criminal accusations of their conduct, though he would not elaborate on the nature of the complaints. The investigation into the complaint made against Weaver is still ongoing, and the sheriff said he is in the process of determining if the investigation into the complaint against Townsend will proceed in the wake of her retirement. According to Pixley, the sheriff’s office handles their own personnel investigations when they are not of a criminal nature. The investigation into Weaver is being conducted by former chief deputy Steve Salle, who was appointed to that position in an interim capacity following former Sheriff Jeff Dickerson’s retirement in mid-2018 until Pixley took office. “He’s one of the most impartial and thorough people I know,” Pixley said. “If there’s something to uncover, he’ll find it. He’ll leave no stone unturned.” Pixley said the sheriff’s office would be wrapping up that investigation as soon as they could, but Salle still had several more interviews to conduct. When asked how seriously he was taking the investigation, Pixley said action was taken to ensure that accountability measures were being met within 24 hours of the received complaints. “I ran on a campaign of keeping my staff accountable, and this is how I do that. I’m not trying to sweep anything under the rug. Appropriate measures will be taken depending on the seriousness of the offense,” Pixley said. “I don’t play around when it comes to any allegations.” Since Weaver was placed on administrative leave, Lt. Brooke McDowall has taken over as the interim jail commander. Pixley admitted having two staff mem-
bers on leave has resulted in additional overtime for staff in an already woefully understaffed jail. The Chief received a tip that members of the jail had been “jumping ship,” but Pixley said that was untrue. “No one has jumped ship. The only people who have left the jail that I can think of in the past year are people that have taken patrol positions,” Pixley said. Pixley said he’s been asked why he doesn’t lower his standards to hire people more quickly, but he said the hiring standards are as high as they are to ensure he amasses a top-notch staff capable of handling the work. However, according to Pixley, it’s been a slow and
difficult search while competing with surrounding law enforcement agencies – the majority of whom offer better pay during a time when the state’s unemployment rate sits at low of 4.1 percent. Pixley said he does currently have three potential hires in the process of background checks for the positions of control tech, transport deputy and corrections deputy. He also has two open positions for both an entry-level corrections deputy and a lateral, which can be found on Columbia County’s website. The Chief will continue to follow-up on the personnel investigations as they wrap up and new information becomes available.

How hot was it? Farmers use “heat units” also known as “growing degree days” to assess when a crop will be ready to harvest or when a particular insect pest might appear. Winegrowers use this information to determine which varieties to plant. If you are interested in taking your own measurements, I can tell you how it is done (it is really simple). So, without further ado, here are the heat unit numbers for the last six years for St. Helens, Rainier, and Clatskanie using, for the plant nerds, a base 50 degrees F. You can see that, for St. Helens and Clatskanie, it was the third hottest growing season (April 1 – October 31st) in the last seven years. Rainier was closer to the average. It would have been a lot warmer except for the rainy chill that enveloped the region in mid-September through most of October. The gardening results? An
excellent tomato season until the rain hit. Disease aided by rain heavily damaged the tomatoes. But by then, lots of BLTs had been eaten and jars of tomatoes processed. Greens did wonderfully. Fruit was mixed and grapes in the Willamette valley had trouble maturing. Despite the September/October drizzle, we are still moisture short heading into winter. That said, the extended weather forecast indicates much more rain over the new few weeks. The average for St. Helens in this seven year period was 2467. The average for the previous five year period was about 2200.

Winter planning Some things to take care of as soon as possible: • If you use your pump only for irrigation, drain the system and turn it off. • Stay ahead of leaves in gutters. • Consider treating for moss on your roof. Zinc products are the treatment of choice. Read and follow label instructions. • Remove fuel from lawn mowers, roto-tillers, and other small equipment. Run them until they are run dry. There is a lot of debate about the value of “gas stabilizers” as an alternative to removing the fuel. Get advice from a small engine mechanic. • Clean and store garden tools. • Clean fertilizer spreaders and store fertilizer and pesticides safely. • Bring in hoses and drain any water lines that are not well-protected from freezing.

tively easy to care for and flower abundantly at least twice a year. Like many plants, they need environmental triggers to get them to bloom. For these plants, the triggers are a lengthy dark period each day for three to four weeks and/or cool temperatures. Where cacti are lit in the evening, cool temperatures (less than 65 degrees) will sometime override the lighting and the plants will bloom anyway. Often, the branches of a plant next to a window will get enough chilling to induce bloom, but only on that side of the plant. Some gardeners put the plants in a closet or cover them with a black plastic garbage bag from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day for about three weeks and that usually gets the flower buds going. Poinsettias can be brought back into bloom with the dark period treatment of about six weeks. However, you are too late to get them to bloom for Christmas this year. They don’t respond to cold temperatures like Christmas cacti. It turns out that the unheated and unlit sun porches of our great grandparents were perfect for getting Christmas cacti to flower. No wonder these plants were so loved by Victorian-era indoor gardeners. Wikipedia illustration from an old botanical journal.

Columbia Pacific CCO awards projects within Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties that improve the health of the community, drawing upon best practices and other innovations. The Community Wellness Investment Fund (CWIF) supports innovative, local and sustainable solutions that address health equity and social determinants of health, in one or more of the eight improvement priorities identified in the Regional Health Improvement Plan (RHIP). “We have awarded some great projects that support efforts focused on improving health and well-being, which are sustainable and aligned with the RHIP.” said Nancy Knopf, community health partnership manager for Columbia Pacific CCO. “Our updated RHIP advances health and well-being and will be used in our planning process for the next five years. Within the plan, we have identified eight priority areas for improving health in the region.” Knopf said. The eight priority areas include: • Community resilience and trauma informed care • Access to care: primary care • Access to care: behavioral health • Access to care: oral health and dental care • Access to care: social safety net • Chronic disease prevention • Suicide prevention • Housing The following projects were funded in Columbia County: • Community Action Team
– Parenting Education and Support, $25k This project will support Child and Family Development Parenting Education to continue to offer “Nurturing Parenting” programming at low or no cost to participants. This evidence-based parenting education series is designed for families in crisis, families in transition, families with young children and the general public. Being a part of a 15- to 17-week parenting education class builds community accountability and a sense of belonging. Child care and a meal is provided for each session. • CASA for Children, Inc. – Building Resiliency in Foster Youth, $25k Child welfare cases in Columbia County are complex, and the courts and DHS are overwhelmed. CASA supports and to serves every foster child with a court-appointed special advocate. This grant will be used to recruit volunteers, train and supervise volunteers as well as maintaining strategic engagement with the Childhood Trauma Informed Network. • Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) – The Jordan Center, $25k The Jordan Center was founded in 2012 to serve the needs of clients of CCMH and community members seeking support and or alternatives to traditional mental health services. This grant will be used to expand the center to include dropin services for adults with behavioral health issues. CCMH intends to partner with the Community Action Team and St. Helens Recreation department to make the difference of those living on the streets, re-entering
the community, or seeking healthy socialization alternatives from often dangerous living environments. • Oregon State University Extension -- Food Hero Foster Families Project, $25k This project is aimed at expanding current Food Hero project to include the newly developed “Nourished and Thriving” tool kit developed by the Spoon Foundation. The trauma informed tool kit specifically addresses the nutritional and feeding challenges that many foster youth experiences.

Let’s talk about holiday depression PATTI ATKINS Communications consultant for Columbia Pacific CCO
Holidays are supposed to be a time of joy and celebration, but for some people they are anything but. “Depression may occur at any time of the year,” said John Bischof, MD, medical director of behavioral health for Columbia Pacific CCO. “But the additional stress and anxiety during the months of November and December may cause even those who are usually content to experience loneliness and a lack of fulfillment.” Social isolation Social isolation is one of the biggest predictors of depression, especially during the holidays. Some people may have a small social circle or lack opportunities for socialization.
People who have feelings of disconnectedness often avoid social interactions at holiday time. Unfortunately, withdrawing often makes the feelings of loneliness and symptoms of depression worse. These individuals may see other people spending time with friends and family, and ask themselves, “Why can’t that be me?” or “Why is everyone else so much happier than I am?” One of the best ways to deal with social isolation is to reach out to friends or family for support. You can also try talking to your health care provider. They can help you figure out where your feelings come from and develop solutions to overcome them. Grieving during the holidays Some people may be keenly aware of the loss of a

loved one during the holiday season. Here are several ways to stave off the holiday blues that may descend at this time: Begin a new tradition Try planning a family outing or vacation, instead of spending the holidays at home. Don’t give in to holiday pressures Feel free to leave an event if you aren’t comfortable. Be willing to tell others, “I’m not up for this right now.” Volunteer Helping others can also be very helpful for you, too. For example, you might try: • working at a soup kitchen • organizing a gift drive • helping your neighbor with a yard or house task

Going for a walk on the beach or in a park helps many people relax and feel better when they are feeling overwhelmed. Seasonal affective disorder Seasonal affective disorder is a seasonal pattern of recurrent depression that is caused by the seasons changing. Many people with this disorder develop depression symptoms during the fall and continue to feel sad throughout the winter. Most people stop having symptoms during the spring and summer. However, some people experience seasonal depression during the spring and summer. Dealing with holiday depression Talk to your primary care
provider if you are feeling sad for long periods of time. They can refer you to a mental health specialist. If your feelings of sadness during the holidays are accompanied by suicidal thoughts, do one of the following immediately: • Call 911 • Go immediately to a hospital emergency room. • Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (1-800273-8255). You can improve your mood by practicing self-care during the holidays. Eat a healthy diet, maintaining a regular sleep pattern and exercise program. As little as 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise can provide an immediate mood boost similar to the effects of an antidepressant medication. Joining a support group where you talk to people with similar experiences to yours can also help.
Everything in moderation “Take care of yourself – don’t overeat or over drink,” Dr. Bischof said. “Do your regular routines of exercise and whatever keeps you together during the rest of the year.” Alcohol is everywhere during the holidays, and if you’re struggling with feeling down, it may be wise to avoid drinking as much as possible – alcohol is known to worsen symptoms of anxiety and depression.

HEALTH
The new position is part of a general overhaul that the Public Health department of Columbia County has experienced in the last year. According to Paul, the county started an in-house public health department last year, which has transitioned a few programs from the previous public health authority. “When the county became the local public health authority last year, it made a lot of sense to have public health programs in house. That’s why we’re creating this position now,” Paul said. Those programs, according to Paul, are focused on creating healthy environments, which means that the public health department can work more closely with other county departments as well as other local government entities to help create those
environments. Beaupre said, because the department is new to the county, their initial efforts will be focused on building relationships with community members and stakeholders, data collection, and working on simple policy changes and capacity building. “Programs will be the most successful if the community feels invested in them,” Beaupre said. “I think that starts with listening to people’s needs and priorities, previous experiences, and concerns.” The health promotion specialist is funded by grants that the county received from the state in order to implement tobacco prevention education, as well as drug and alcohol prevention and education, Paul said. For that reason, Beaupre will need to
work closely with the county commissioners, since they are the decision-making body for the public health authority in order to create those environments. For Beaupre’s regular assignments, she will be responsible for providing education in conjunction with schools to implement tobacco and alcohol prevention programs. She will also assist local businesses that want to implement policies such as being a tobacco-free property. She will also be responsible for carrying out other duties that the different programs require, duties described by the Oregon Health Authority, the overarching body that governs local public health programs. But overall, Paul said Beaupre will be instrumental in forming the link between
all of Public Health’s programs and other departments in the county. He said the department’s success will depend on whether community partners view it as a resource and rely on their input. When those partnerships are strong, he said, the department can work closely with other agencies to identify funding for projects that will address the major contributors to chronic disease: poor nutrition and inadequate physical activity, substance use disorders, tobacco use, mental health, oral health, and unintentional injuries. “I am extremely excited to be working in this role where I can help support this community on a larger scale,” Beaupre said. “I hope that my experience will prove to be a helpful resource.”
on stage for 95 percent of the play. “He’s singing, dancing, talking … but he knows what he’s doing,” Erwin said. “His aunt, Christine Pruitt, made him the elf costume and it’s just like the movie. She’s embroidered reindeer and snowflakes on the side and it just looks
perfect.” Erwin said all of the students are doing really well with their parts. The play also features a love interest and Buddy’s adopted family whom he finds in New York, whose roles will be filled by the drama class. There are “backstage kids” who have built all of the sets – includ-
ing decorating the walls out in front of the auditorium with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, pictures of kids in dress rehearsal, and Christmas presents all over the hallway. “I like it when an audience is coming in and they get the whole experience, and they’ve done that.”
Erwin said. “It’s all student lead.” Elf the Musical Jr. will open at 7 p.m. on Thursday Dec. 12 with encore performances at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14 in the CMHS auditorium. Tickets are $5 for general admission and $3 for students and seniors.

Beaupre’s position will aid the county in disease prevention, according to Paul. “I am a people person, so I can’t wait to build relationships and hear from community members about how they would like to see the health of their community improved,” Beaupre said. While Beaupre is just beginning to become acquainted with the job, Paul said he believes her background and expertise are an excellent fit for the position. “Her most recent employment was at the Red Cross, and she brings highly relevant public health education, training and experience,” Paul said.
Late submissions are not guaranteed to make it into the paper.
MUSICAL From Page A1 “If your kids can behave I’m happy to have them, but if something happens …” Erwin explained, trailing off. “I think that set the tone.” The majority of the students had performed in Missoula Children’s Theatre, however, and Erwin said the youngsters elevated the play “from seven to a million.” She said they are singing out, following stage directions which she only has to relay once, and they’re dancing just like the older kids. The play will feature over 20 Clatskanie students – 10 from Clatskanie Elementary School (CES) and another 13 or so middle schoolers. The CES students will play elves in their first scenes, and for the rest of the play, they will portray the children of New York City. Meanwhile, the high school drama class have taken on the main speaking roles. Senior Gabe Katon will star as Buddy the elf, and Erwin said the role puts him
