New law enforcement services launched in Clatskanie

Students make special connections with veterans

BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said he knows there are mixed emotions about his office taking over law enforcement services in Clatskanie on Tuesday, Nov. 1. “We are not approaching this like this is our deal,” he said. “We have plenty to worry about throughout the entire county. We want to be there for the city if that’s what they want. The plus is you are going to get our best efforts and we always do that for every city.” “We hope to provide the best police service that we can with the staff that the city of Clatskanie has budgeted,” Columbia County Under sheriff Andy Moyer said. “And to supplement that with our normal patrols.” Moyer will be the manager of the Sheriff’s Office Clatskanie substation, the former Clatskanie Police Department on Nehalem Street. Moyer said former Clatskanie Police Department officers Shaun McQuiddy and Josh Lineberry have joined the sheriff’s office. Lineberry was assigned patrol duties outside of Clatskanie while deputy Collin Brehm will be assigned with McQuiddy as the two full-time Clatskanie law enforcement team working four day, 12 hours shifts. “It will be a 12-noon to 12 a.m shift with deputy Brehm working four days in a row and then deputy McQuiddy working the next four days,” Moyer said. Dickerson said the contract for

Cheyenne Packard and her fellow classmates at Rainier Jr/ Sr High School want to make sure the nation’s veterans and those serving in the military are recognized. With the direction of instructor Andrew Demko, the history class students have been composing letters to veterans. “Both of my grandparents were veterans and they had spent a lot of time in the military and unfortunately I never got to meet them,” she said. “But I wanted to thank all the veterans who have served our country because it is important. Without them, our country wouldn’t be what it is today.” Freshman Jack Bauguess said the letters acknowledge the veterans and what they have done for the county. “I think that a lot of the veterans don’t get that,” he said. “Many of the Vietnam veterans didn’t get a lot of recognition and praise that other veterans got,” history class student Tyler Brackin said. “Even veterans that did get that praise when they came home still deserve thanks for keeping us free and the sacrifices they made.” Clatskanie American Legion Commander Gerry Simmons said the letters from the students are an important community connection. “It shows appreciation and it means a lot for them to get these letters,” Simmons said. “It opens the eyes of a lot of the kids in the school that may have a family member in the military. The letters bring it a bit closer to home. It is good for the kids. Our veterans that have served, and those are serving, have done a hell of a lot for our county.” Simons said veterans are often forgotten. “Without a doubt, we are

forgotten,” he said. “There are many out there that do not forget, but there are also an awful lot of people out there that do forget us. When we are needed, then everybody is praising us and as soon as any conflict is over, unfortunately, we are forgotten.” Demko said the letters to the veterans project is an important learning tool for the students. “I hope the students get a sense of respect for our veterans, a sense of knowing that there are folks out there that paid a sacrifice for our freedom,” he said. “That’s where it’s at, that

the kids know there are people out there who have served their county and it is important for us to remember those people.” Demko said the letters project was launched last year at Rainier Jr/Sr High School as a way to honor the veterans and to encourage the students to use their writing skills in the classroom. “So it is a win-win for both,” he said. “We are improving the students writing skills, but we are also letting vets know that they are important.” Clatskanie Middle/ High School students are also recognizing veterans. The school’s Honor Society will hold a breakfast for veterans at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10. “It’s important to thank and honor our veterans,” Clatskanie Middle/High School Honor Society Co-President Rachel

Haas said. “As a leadership organization at CHS, it’s also important for us to remind the student body to thank and appreciate those who have served.” Haas said students should know that there are more veterans in the community than they might think. “Something students could do is to get to know our veterans better,” she said. “To say hello, ask about their story and say thank you for their service.” Clatskanie Middle/High School Principal Amy McNeil said the school’s connection to veterans is a learning moment for her students. “Last year, I asked the student body to stand if they know, or knew, someone who served their country,” McNeil said. “I was in awe at how many stood. I would guesstimate about 85 plus percent of the students stood.” Following the breakfast, Clatskanie will also hold a Veteran’s Assembly at 10:15 a.m. in the school auditorium with special guest speaker Brian Guinther. “Our students have always been very respectful of the guest speaker and have listened to their stories and words of wisdom,” McNeil said. “I think every year is a learning moment for them as well as an appreciation for what our veterans have sacrificed for our freedom.” At 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11, a dinner will be held for veterans and their families at the Clatskanie American Legion Post at 930 NE 5th Street. For more information, contact Clatskanie American Legion Post Commander Gerry Simmons at 503-728-2421 and read more about Columbia County veterans in a special section in the Nov. 11 edition of The Chief.

October beats rainfall record BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

We were likely reaching for the umbrella more often in October compared to previous months. In fact, the National Weather Service in Portland reports the most number of days with rainfall in the month of October since weather data was kept over the past 100 years. “Portland recorded 8.31 inches of rain, the second wettest October there,” National Weather Service meteorologist Colby Neuman said. “The old rainfall record for October was 8.41 inches set in 1994. Astoria’s rainfall record for October is 17.79 inches set n 1950. This past October Astoria recorded 16.32 inches of rain, the second wettest October in recorded history. Neuman said Salem set a new rainfall record for October with 11.25 inches. Salem’s old record of 11.17 inches was set in 1945. Rainfall totals for Clatskanie and other parts of Columbia County were not available at press time. Neuman said October was also warmer than normal. “We had an average temperature of about 55 or 56 degrees which is about two degrees warmer than normal,” he said. According to Neuman, active storm patterns from the Pacific Ocean caused the record rain and warmer temperatures in October. The wetter weather and above average temperature pattern will likely continue through November. “We could see a parade of active storms and not a lot of breaks between the storms,” he said. “And we could still end up with three to five days of a cold stretch.”

‘Catch the Holiday Spirit’ campaign to be launched Chief Guest Article by

NATASHA PARVEY

business alliances consistently promoting the benefits of buying locally reported an average revenue increase of 9.3 percent compared to 4.9 percent growth among independents in communities without such alliances. The short and sweet is that grassroots shop local campaigns work. Here’s how everyone can “Catch the Holiday Spirit” across Columbia County:

Holiday Spirit campaign Nov. 19 through Dec. 28: Customers use Spirit Cards when shopping at participating stores. For each $10 they spend or per transaction at a financial institution, a box is checked. A Spirit Card will have 20 boxes valued at $200 spent locally, and a full card can be entered to win the prize drawings. Business owners must purchase an advertising package to participate in the Spirit Campaign. Go to www. keepitlocalcc.com/Campaigns to view more about each area. 2. Host an Open House on Nov 19. This is free to participate. Simply submit your flyer and your events for free on the online Business Directory www.keepitlcoalcc. com, and the

campaign will promote your event. 3. Engage in Small Business Saturday on Nov. 26. You can order swag (shop small bags, get banners, balloons and more) at Free Marketing Materials for Small Business Saturday Shop Small. If you want to partner, contact the campaign for ideas.

speedbump Chief Guest Column by

TRIESTE MADDEN

In 2007 both Trieste Madden and Talina Aubian were given a similar vision to adopt their community, by providing winter clothing for children of families in need during the Christmas season. They wanted to help children and families who were possibly not able to have a Christmas due to unforeseen circumstances. In 2009 these woman joined forces and went from helping a few families to helping hundreds of children in their community. What makes “Rainier’s Gift of Giving: Community Giving Tree” different from other giving trees programs is that all our children are nominated/referred by teachers, pastors, coaches, friends, and neighbors in our community. There is no application to fill out;

no qualifying process. Our families and children remain anonymous. They do not know we a coming until Santa and his elves arrive at their homes and their gifts are delivered. All the Angel tags are “child specific” and go to that specific child. Our mission is to provide good will and to show the love of Christ to all our families that may be struggling in our community by blessing them and their children during the holiday season. Every child referred receives a new outfit (pants, shirt), winter coat, hat, gloves, new shoes, socks and an age appropriate toy. This year we are reaching beyond our community of Rainier, by reaching families in Clatskanie, St Helens, Scappoose and Longview. Funds are raised by doing fund raising, donations and partnering businesses. This year Ben Buss of Modern Woodmen located in Rainier

will be matching funds raised at our next fundraiser held on Tuesday November 1st at Walmart 7th Ave Longview, Wa. When nominating a child or a family the information we need is last name of the family, child’s age, child’s gender, pant and shirt size, shoe size and street address for delivery. Please try to remember siblings; any child residing in the home, we do not want to leave a sister or brother without. Deadline for nominations/ referrals is Nov. 11. On Nov. 14 live Christmas trees (donated every year by Mark Dryer of Lone Cedar Tree Farm) with angel tags will be delivered to Chevron, Cole’s Coffee, Cornerstone Restaurant, Deli Store and More, Hometown Pizza, Rainier El Tapitio, Riverside Community Church, Rainier Community Church of God, Alston Corner Assembly, New Life Church in Longview.

Letters

– Dear Sally –

Anna Sirnio, Route 1, Clatskanie, who was recently awarded a certificate of recipe endorsement by Better Homes and Gardens for her devil’s food cake. The certificate, which brings national recognition to Mrs. Sirnio is given by Better Homes and Gardens only to distinguished recipes which pass its testing kitchen’s trials for dependability, excellence of taste and family usefulness. Mrs. Sirnio’s recipe follows: Mrs. Anna Sirnio Devil’s Food Cake ½ cup shortening; 1 ½ cups sugar; 4 egg yolks, beaten; ¾ cup chocolate; 3 tablespoons hot water; 1 cup milk; 1 tsp. baking powder; ¼ tsp. salt and 4 egg whites, stiffly beaten. Cream the butter until soft, then gradually add the sugar and continue creaming until smooth. Add the egg yolks, which have been beaten until thick and lemon colored. Stir in the chocolate, which has been mixed to a smooth past in the hot water, Alternate the milk and vanilla (combined) with the flour which has been sifted with the baking powder and salt, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Place in 2 greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake in a moderate oven (350 to 375 degrees) for about 30 minutes. Cool and ice with 7-minute icing and sprinkle with coconut. Mrs. Sirnio was kind enough to share her recipe at a recent grange meeting; I am so excited to give it a try!

Fishermen operating near the mouth of the river were getting between 400 and 500 pounds per boat. Disaster threatened the big Benson Timber Company log raft late Sunday near Astoria when the towing drum on the tug Roosevelt, which was to take the raft to San Diego, was disabled soon after the tug had crossed out from the river entrance. After six hours work assisted by another tug, the Roosevelt returned to the river and the raft was beached near Flavel. Repairs are now being completed on the tug’s towing engine and the raft is now expected to be on its way safely by the middle of next week. It contains about 5,000,000 feet of logs. Two river channel buoys were carried away by the towline as it drifted about the channel. Both were recovered and replaced the day following.

The Lookout: Don’t sleep on Rainier BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins

For weeks now we’ve known it would come down to the final game. And Clatskanie pulled out the win on the road against Portland Christian (45) to make the state playoffs this season. The win continues the Tigers’ consecutive playoff streak, making it their eighth straight postseason – the last time Clatskanie missed the postseason was in 2008. A young, inexperienced team – there are only nine seniors on the roster and there were 20 incoming freshmen this season – the coaching staff has had to plug players into different positions and test out different combinations. Against Portland Christian, sophomore Bryce Puckett was behind center. He had a good game at the Lewis and Clark League rival’s home turf, throwing one touchdown to Isaac Points from the 12-yard line to give the Tigers a 6-0 lead coming into the half. He also rushed six times for 50 yards. Once again, however, it

was feature back Kees Tjaarda who threw the biggest punches for Clatskanie. He had two second-half touchdown runs of 45 and 38 yards, finishing the game with 159 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries for an average of 8.83 yards per carry. Five different runners combined for a whopping 315 total rushing yards for the Tigers. Their combined average was 8.75 yards per carry – a testament to the performance of the offensive line. The Tigers will enter the postseason as the 20th-ranked team in the state, claiming the final 16th seed in the bracket. That means they will play first-ranked Dayton on the road in the first round. The Pirates (9-0) have had an excellent season, after finishing as the 10th seed in 2015. They’ve beaten fourthranked Santiam Christian 41-14, and most recently beat 10tn-ranked Amity, 56-27. Usually operating out of a max protection shotgun formation, junior quarterback Tristan Fergus and running weapons Kole Stuck and Sabino Corona are capable of putting points on the board quickly.

The two-back formation allows one back to block for the ball carrier – and against Amity last Friday, those backs combined for four touchdowns. Stuck punched it in twice from the goal line and once from 11 yards out and Corona scampered in from 32 yards on a counter. With the box packed, however, Fergus can find senior receiver Oscar Ross, who scored twice on post routes against Amity, including a 73-yard bomb in the first half. Rainier has home field advantage in the first round Down Highway 30 the Columbians enter the postseason as the sixth seed and favorites. They’re coming off an unwanted bye week, however, when Warrenton declared it did not have enough healthy bodies to field a team. Whether that rest was helpful or harmful will be determined after they play 11th-ranked Pleasant Hill (63), a team coming off a 50-0 thumping the week before at the hands of second-ranked Coquille. In that game, the Billies only totaled 155 yards

and 11 first downs. They have beaten a top twenty team this year, however, when they narrowly beat 17th-ranked La Pine 41-40. After going undefeated in the regular season and scoring more points than any other team in the state, the Columbians hopes extend beyond the first round. “I thought we were going to go undefeated and it’s my senior year so I kind of want to win it all,” quarterback Steele Ware said. “I was expecting to be up at the top.” “We didn’t really know how good we were going to be,” star wide receiver Dawson Carr said. “I knew we were going to be good; I didn’t know we would be scoring 70 points because I’m not really used to that.” CODY MANN / THE CHIEF Ware credited his offenGunnar Brooks and Dawson Carr celebrate in the end zone – and sive line, his receivers and there’s been plenty to celebrate this year for the Columbians.

The loss comes as a surprise – Rainier came in as the seventh seed, while Coquille was the 10thranked team in the state. Breana Edwards had 39 kills, eight stuff blocks and 25 digs. Kami Gray had 24 digs and six kills and Taleah King had 17 assists. The team only missed three serves on the night, an effort that was led by junior Mikalya Lorentson who served 18 times with no misses. The sophomore added 15 digs. Kyla Howell paced the Columbians with 10 digs. “We just didn’t play well enough to control the ball consistently,” head coach Mike Edwards said. “We played well at times but not well enough to win. We didn’t control the ball when we needed to put the game away.” A relatively young and inexperienced team, the coach added that he counts this year as a success and credits his team with how they played and the hard work they gave to their team.

Head coach Mike Edwards his confident his team can be every bit as good next year as it was this season. When his daughter and junior outside hitter Breana Edwards is on the floor, the Columbians have a chance to win.

Coquille on playing a good match. “In my opinion we had an opportunity to win,” Edwards said. “They’re a solid team, they play really good defense. But in my opinion we made little mistakes, and those little mistakes lead to bigger mistakes.” “They were disappointed,” Edwards said. “We didn’t play the best match. That’s why they were disappointed. They knew they could have played better. When you don’t play your best and lose, you’re a little frustrated.” Despite the abrupt end to the season, optimism is the operative outlook for Columbians volleyball. This season they were one of the youngest teams in the Lewis and Clark League.

She’s that good.” “But it’s really going to depend on how those players develop as to how far we go,” Edwards said. Some development should be expected, and if they continue to serve well, as they did this season, games will continue to hinge on whether or not teams can block and dig star outside hitter, Breana Edwards. Edwards has been named the Lewis and Clark League Player of the Year for the second consecutive season along with first team all-league honors. Gray nearly earned first team, but recieved second team all-league honors along with Shaleyea Nakaahiki-Teves and Mikayla Lorentson. Taleah King earned honorable mention.

The cross country season has officially come to an end. Last Thursday, Oct. 27, Rainier and Clatskanie competed at the District Championships held at Tualatin Hills Recreation Center in Beaverton. The Clatskanie and Rainier men’s teams finished fifth and sixth respectively, and on the women’s side, Rainier came in fifth and Clatskanie finished seventh. Southwest Christian won the men’s meet with a team score of 56 and Catlin Gabel ran away from the competition at the women’s meet with a score of 23. “Districts is always bitter sweet,” Clatskanie head coach Amber Dawn-Ingwerson said. “Districts is kind of like Christmas morning for me. It’s marked on the calendar with a big circle around it. At the beginning of the season it seems so far off, and with much anticipation you’re counting the weeks and days until it gets here, hoping you’ll get what you want.” “You know what you’ve been working for and would like to see, but the results are always a surprise. Is it going to be a cool toy or socks?” DawnIngwerson said. “There’s a lot of ripping and tearing, the dust finally settles, and in the blink of an eye it’s all over. This season I’m left just amazed and in awe of these kids.” Emma Carver led the Tigers with a time of 21:24.8, finishing 13th in the meet. Valeri Hutchins and Ashley Bush of Rainier finished 24th and 25th, with times of 23:25.3 and 23:37.9. Kaylie Scott was the second-best Tigers runner for the women’s team, finishing 33rd with a time of 24:28.2. Riley Richardson and Jaedyn Crape came in 42nd and 43rd with times of 25:14.8 and

25:30.2. It’s been four years since Dawn-Ingwerson has been able to field a complete varsity girls team. “I couldn’t be more proud of how these kids competed today,” Dawn-Ingwerson said. “Each and everyone of them ran with their whole heart and a lot of guts. They each ran a season record, and the majority of them ran a lifetime personal best. There’s friendly competition and rivalry with Rainier. Our boys’ varsity teams have been back and forth all season.” At the District Championships, the Clatskanie men’s team came out on top, outrunning the Columbians by 14 points. Clatskanie’s team score was 144 and Rainier totaled 160. Johnathan Guisinger of Rainier led all Columbia County men’s team runners with a time of 18:00.7, good for ninth place. Jacob Moore, however, was close behind, finishing in 11th place, running the course in 18:01.6.

damage to both vehicles. The airbags of both vehicles had deployed and all passengers were wearing seat belts. 2 patients were transported for precautionary measures to area hospitals. Oct.23 5:24 p.m. Commercial Fire, 300 Block S. 15, St. St. Helens Senior Center. Firefighters responded to a report of a smell of smoke and burning in the kitchen. Upon arrival firefighters did not find any fire or smoke visible and no building fire alarms were sounding. Breakers were found in the “tripped” position indicating an electrical issue might exist. The building maintenance was contacted who was advised to contact an electrician to fix the problem. A fire watch was established until the problem could be further investigated by an electrician. Oct. 24 6:33 a.m. motor vehicle Crash 75000 blk Rockcrest St, Rainier ACTION TAKEN: Firefighters responded to a 3 vehicle crash partially blocking the road. On arrival firefighters found 3 possible patients and heavy damage to the cars. Patients were transported with non-life threatening

injuries to local hospitals. Oct. 24 1:32 p.m. House fire, 73000 blk Beaver Springs Rd, Rainier Columbia River Fire & Rescue Firefighters were dispatched to a report of house fire in the 73000 block of Beaver Springs Road near Rainier. On arrival firefighters found a fully involved building with a single resident outside. The resident confirmed that no one else was in the building before leaving the scene. Due to a roof collapse, rural location, no fire hydrants, exploding propane tanks and burning phosphorus inside the building, firefighters were forced to retreat to a safe position away from the structure until it was determined to be safe enough to be close to the building to put water on the fire. Help to fight the fire was over 30 minutes away coming from Clatskanie and St. Helens firefighters.The cause of the fire is unknown due to extensive fire damage to the structure and unsafe conditions to conduct an investigation. Power had been disconnected from the property by Columbia River Public Utilities Department long before the fire. The occupants had been

using propane powered cooking stoves and lanterns throughout the building. The owner/occupant of the property returned to the scene while firefighters were fighting the fire. The Red Cross assisted them with housing and other needs due to fire loss. Total losses are estimated at $40,000 including contents. There were no smoke detectors in the building. Columbia River Fire & Rescue would like to remind people to have a working smoke alarm in their homes. Propane cooking stoves and lanterns should never be used indoors without adequate ventilation as this can cause carbon monoxide poisoning and asphyxiation. Oct. 25 2:22 p.m. Structure Fire, 29000 Harbor View Dr, Rainier Firefighters responded to a report of a smell of smoke in a building. No flames were seen by the occupant. On arrival, firefighters did not see or smell smoke in the building.

Law enforcement From PAGE A1 law enforcement services in Clatskanie takes advantage of the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office resources. “The undersheriff will serve as the chief of police and he will be up their regularly and attending the city council meetings,” Dickerson said. “We also will have a part time patrol sergeant there to supervise during the night hours from 2 p.m. to midnight. The sergeant will be doing employee performance appraisals, making sure evidence is taken to the main office and he will be supporting the deputies.” Moyer said the Sheriff’s Office law enforcement in Clatskanie will be proactive and will build trusting relations in the city. “Our deputies will be patrolling the neighborhoods and the citizens will get to see

our enforcement real quick,” he said. Moyer said the patrols include business checks on off hours to make sure the doors are locked and everything is secure. “When we do that, we place a flyer on the business door to let them know that we have checked their business or we saw something that they might want to address, so we will be checking the businesses when they are open and when they are closed.” Moyer said marked and unmarked patrol cars will be used in Clatskanie. “We will be out and about chatting with people, not necessarily in an enforcement role, but just to get to know people,” he said. “We want the citizens here to get to know all of our deputies whether they are assigned to the city of not. Other deputies will be driving through as well.”

Moyer said the deputies also have launched beefed up enforcement in Clatskanie. “We are doing more proactive policing, so you will see more traffic stops, but we won’t necessarily take enforcement action,” he said. “We are watching for speeders, those not stopping for stop lights and stop signs as well as looking for the criminal element to catch people with narcotics and those who have warrants for their arrest.” Dickerson acknowledges that there will be differences in how his office handles law enforcement in Clatskanie compared to the city’s former police department. “We are a sheriff’s office,” he said. “We are not a city police department, so that whole sense of local control won’t have the same feeling. I am an elected official and this service will be a reflection of who I am. A city has a real say on how the police department does its job, but I report

directly to the voters and they tell me if my vision is going to work.” Dickerson said his office is providing municipal policing services to Clatskanie based on the number of sheriff’s office employees the city has agreed to fund. (See the contract between Clatskanie and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office online at thechiefnews.com). Two officers, a part time interim chief and an administrative secretary staffed the former Clatskanie Police Department. “We will pick up where the city has left off with law enforcement services,” Dickerson said. “So, in that sense there is an increase in resources available over what you would have if you had stayed with the city police as it was.” Dickerson said the Sheriff’s Office services include reserve officers that live in the area and can assist with patrolling day and night. “We have more resources

than the city has ever had,” Dickerson said. “We have about 10 deputies that are dedicatedfund deputies that we can use to respond to emergencies. It might take JEREMY C.

Challenge Days Vandalism spree at Rainier Jr/Sr High School volunteers needed Clatskanie Middle/High School administrators said they are still about eight adult volunteers short for the school’s annual Challenge Days on Nov. 15, 16, and 17. The adult volunteers must be available from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. The Challenge Day Vision is that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved and celebrated. The Challenge Day Mission is to provide youth and their communities with experiential programs that demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth, and full expression. “The last time we participated in Challenge Day was March 2014,” Clatskanie Middle/High School Principal Amy McNeil said. “As promised we would be hosting Challenge Day every three school years. Our entire student body will be able

to participate. However, in order to put on this workshop we need 30-40 adult volunteers for each day.” The entire CMHS staff will be participating in one of the three days. It is recommended that volunteer adults participate in only one day. “You will need to be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the day you choose,” McNeil said. “Participating the entire day is required. If you are available and willing to volunteer please ensure you have a cleared and updated background check through the district office.” Those interested in volunteering should contact McNeil at amcneil@csd.k12. or.us and to sign up and to learn more about Challenge Day, visit www.challengeday. org.

Three Rainier Jr/Sr High School students face expulsion after they allegedly vandalized school classrooms and damaged three school district vehicles, according to Rainier Superintendent Michael Carter. The incident unfolded at 4:29 a.m. Thursday morning, Oct. 27 after the Columbia County Sheriff’s dispatch notified school administrators of two wrecked school maintenance vehicles on Parkdale Road. School officials also discovered vandalized classrooms at the high school just before 7 a.m. on Oct. 27 and noticed a tent set up on the backside of the school property. Carter said its believed

the three teens stole the district vehicles, wrecked them, then returned to district property and sent up a tent on the backside of the district property. “Our maintenance crew began to monitor the tent,” Carter said. “We had called the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office to report the incidents. We didn’t want to go to the tent we didn’t know if they had weapons. It was a pretty substantial situation. They have caused approximately $30,000 in damages.” Carter said when the suspects saw the maintenance crew they ran from the tent. Carter said a sheriff’s deputy arrived shortly before 9 a.m. on Oct. 27 to gather

Sheriff’s Office had not released the names of the teens or the specific charges against the teens at press time.
