Veterans instill respect for Old Glory at Clatskanie Middle High School BY CHRISTY CABALLERO ccaballero@countrymedia.net
Veterans with 130 years of collective service under the American Flag addressed a packed auditorium of students at what became a very patriotic assembly on Monday morning. “There are details about handling the American flag that I think are important for every American to know,” American Legion Post Commander Gerry Simmons asserted from the podium. Simmons explained details about behavior when flags are being raised or brought into the room, and that when flags are not flown, they are to be folded in a triangular shape “to honor the memory of the hats worn by soldiers during the revolutionary war.” He also explained that when a flag is worn and tattered, it has to be respectfully retired. “You don’t wrinkle them up and throw them away, you

Self-defense training for women kicks butt reach their 24-hr help line at 503397-6161. Explore more at www. safeofcolumbiacounty.org The earlier lecture phase of the training included tips such as locking all doors, examining the inside of your car before entering it, not going out alone, and telling someone where you are going. If you feel you are being followed, tell a policeman. In a garage, park near the entrance, and ask for an escort back to your car. At home, trim shrubs that could offer an assailant a place to hide. Caldwell demonstrated many techniques including what to do when an attacker comes toward you reaching with outstretched arms, or how to escape once you’ve been knocked to the ground. He emphasized over and over that these techniques aren’t meant to defeat an assailant, but to distract long enough to give a woman a chance to run away. They aren’t meant to be takedown blows, but rather enough to put an attacker off balance, and give a would-be victim opportu-

Officer Troy Caldwell took one for the team as hands-on training got a little rough at a recent women’s self-defense class. One of the seven trainees (name withheld) overshot the striking pad and caught Caldwell a glancing blow to his nose. “It isn’t the first time I’ve been punched in the nose,” he quipped good-naturedly. “Probably won’t be the last.” But everything else was all business, as Caldwell got deadly serious about the tactics a smaller framed woman could use when confronted by an attacker. “Make noise,” he asserted. “Screaming or yelling for help will keep you breathing. Push back, get them off balance, anything to give you an advantage. When you are free, run.” According to Allie Brady of Support Advocacy Freedom Empowerment of Columbia County, a presenter in the training, “No is a complete sentence.” Brady is Violence Prevention/Outreach Coordinator and Volunteer Program Manager for SAFE.

Agency recommends decertification of former Clatskanie police chief Former Clatskanie Chief of Police Marvin Hoover could lose his certification for up to 15 years. On May 19, the Police Policy Committee of the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training recommended the revocation of Hoover’s certification for seven years for Misconduct, 10 years for Gross Misconduct, and 15 years for Disregard for the Rights of Others. The revocation periods would run concurrently. According to Eriks Gabliks, Director of the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, two members of the committee - Chief Matt Workman and Special Agent Mike Wells - recused themselves from the discussion and deliberation of this case because they were either involved in the case or know Hoover. Hoover may request a hearing before an administrative law judge to dispute the findings of the board. If he does not request a hearing, the recommendation to revoke his Basic, Intermediate and Advanced police certification
will take effect. The board meets again in July, and Gabliks said a hearing could happen as early as August if the parties involved can coordinate a calendar date. In June of 2015, following the arrest of an African-American woman who claimed she intended to sue for racism and discrimination, Hoover allegedly made racist comments while discussing the matter with subordinate officers. According to a complaint filed with Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), an officer told Hoover that the arrestee said, “When you look at me, my black skin and my nappy hair, all you see is an animal.” Hoover allegedly reacted by saying, “That’s what she is,” and pantomiming the behavior of a monkey while making monkey noises. Hoover also was accused of performing the southern standard Dixieland while pretending to punch an imaginary person, singing, “Look away – look away…” during the act. That complaint also alleged
when Sergeant Shaun McQuiddy was asked to join in reporting the chief’s actions, he warned the reporting officers “the City would make life hell” if they proceeded with reporting Hoover. On Aug. 5, 2015, Hoover was placed on administrative leave for an investigation into his alleged actions. Aug. 19, 2015, Clatskanie City Council voted to allow Hoover to retire amid the city’s investigation, paying out $27,000 for the remaining four months of his contract. Clatskanie Mayor Diane Pohl wrote a personal letter to the editor in The Chief thanking Hoover for protecting the community with “honor and courage.” Hoover served as the Chief of Police in Clatskanie from 2002 until 2015. He was previously a sergeant in the Clatskanie Police Department, reactivated after retirement through an exemption that allows small cities to hire retirees without interference to their benefits. In 2011, Hoover received the Medal of Valor for his actions
during the apprehension Daniel Butts, who was accused of committing the murder of Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter.

Kiwanians surprise Angie Froke with Everyday Hero Award CMHS presents: “Variety Flashback” BY CHRISTY CABALLERO ccaballero@countrymedia.net
HS drama class spring production “Variety Flashback” Opens May 26, with added showings on the 27 and 28. “Variety Flashback” is a variety show spanning many eras – reaching back to classics like the early years of Saturday Night Live. “I presented a few musicals and shows that the kids weren’t familiar with – the really old Saturday Night Live stuff, like the Spartan Cheerleaders, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” said Jaime Erwin, Music/ Drama Director, Clatskanie Middle High School. “And
I also opened it up to them, what do they really like?” Now the community can join them for songs and skits from a great assortment of shows, movies, musicals, and plays. The audience can look forward to scenes from: Saturday Night Live, Chicago, Monty Python, Mean Girls, Wicked, Sound of Music, Into The Woods, and more. The performances will be at 7 p.m. at the high school auditorium. Tickets are available at the door, $5 general admission, $3 student.

Scenes from dress rehearsal of “Variety Flashback.”
“The definition of a volunteer is a person who performs a service willingly and without pay for another person,” said Ron Davis, addressing the Kiwanis at the May 24 meeting. “In volunteering, there’s a niche for everybody. We have an award in Kiwanis called an Everyday Hero Award, and it can be given to a Kiwanian, but tonight, we’re giving it to Angie Froke.” In the midst of erupting applause, Amy Engebretson interjected, “She’s literally one of the greatest people I know, and I’m going to cry with her later.” Froke, honored for her commitment to alcohol-free and drug-free senior class celebrations, shared her motivation. “When I attended high school, we lost a classmate each year I attended R. A. Long. Statistically, the two nights your high-schoolers are at the greatest risk are prom night and graduation.” Froke explained the teamwork that has evolved through earning money for Disneyland trips – creating bonds between parents, educators, students and the community. “This year we earned more than $6,000.00 in pop cans alone. We’re making more of us, that’s our plan – a whole new generation of

volunteers.” Because of Froke’s behind the scenes work at arranging deep discounts, coupled with the fundraising, “literally when the kids get there, they won’t have to pay for anything,” she enthused. Asked after the meeting how she felt, “I was overwhelmed,” she smiled. “Just completely overwhelmed.” Then her friend Diana Lumos walked up. “I think 75% of the kids at school call her Mama Froke,” Diana Lumos laughed. “And she did start all of this with a senior of her own in sports, and her own family to take
(Batman and Robin) explained that they host hot, sit-down meals for the entire team before every home game, and pack gourmet sack lunches for every away game (complete with sandwiches, salads, chex mix, brownies, etc.). “My son graduated last year, now he’s going to college in Corvallis, and when I said I still cook for the football team, he said ‘well good, because if you didn’t that would be weird!’” Yes Mama Froke, it’s called being an Everyday Hero, and if you weren’t one, it would just be weird!

Statistics reported during the training included that only 2-8% of all sex reports end up determined false, and 25% of rapes occur during daylight hours, many in the home or as crimes of opportunity. He lightened the mood
by asking participants to “imagine me with a lot of hair – but seriously, grabbing a big handful of hair and pulling an attacker’s head down onto your knee can be a powerful thing.” “And if you’re engaging an attacker, when you throw an elbow into their face its going to get bloody – but remember, you’re fighting for your life, so you’re all in.” Hitting with an open palm might not seem like
much at first blush, but Caldwell punctuated it with “you can also curl your fingers at that point and drag your fingernails down across their face or neck, wherever your blow connected. Once their DNA is under your fingernails, it’s going to be impossible to deny the attack happened. And if someone shows up at the emergency room with suspicious marks like that, police officers are going to ask questions.” Caldwell hopes to schedule more training in the future, including more advanced classes.

and Wyden announce key o Merkley wins for Oregon veterans in Senate The Senate Military Construction appropriations bill that passed the Senate today includes key provisions that will help Oregonians. These include $320 million for the Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program and $496 million for the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) voucher program. These programs help veterans and their families who are either homeless or on their way to being homeless find a home. Also included is a bipartisan amendment led by Senators Merkley and Steve Daines (R-MT) that would allow Veterans Health Administration (VA) doctors to discuss and make recommendations about the use of medical marijuana with their patients. “From fighting for the rights of our veterans to helping address the housing crisis that is gripping Oregon, my job as a member of the Appropriations Committee is to help Oregonians in every corner of the state,” said Merkley. “Our veterans have stood up for us, and we must stand up for them. We need to make sure that our veterans have a place to call home and are able to communicate with their doctors about all legal treatment options.” “Our country must never forget the sacrifices made by all of our veterans, and a big part of that gratitude must be working to do everything possible to support them when they return home,” Wyden said. “This bill takes a significant step toward that objective both by helping service members find a home and by ensuring all service members have access to the full range of medical options in states
like Oregon where medical marijuana is legal.” Key elements of the legislation that passed the Senate today that will impact Oregon include: Homeless Veteran Funding: SSVF and the VASH voucher programs are both crucial programs to help veterans and their families navigate the rental market. The SSVF program promotes housing stability among very lowincome veteran families who reside in or are transitioning to permanent housing. The SSVF grants provide eligible veteran families with outreach, case management, and assistance in obtaining VA and other benefits. The VASH voucher program provides permanent housing subsidies and case management services to homeless veterans. VA Medical Marijuana: Under current regulations, VA doctors are prohibited from completing forms seeking recommendations or opinions regarding a veteran’s participation in a state marijuana program. In practice, VA doctors generally won’t even discuss the use of medical marijuana with their patients. Earlier today, Congressman Blumenauer was able to win a vote in the House of Representatives to include similar language into the House Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations bill. The bill was passed on the Senate floor today. The next step would be for the bill to be merged with a counterpart bill from the U.S. House of Representatives in order to be passed by both houses and signed into law.

Columbia Chinook season reopens; sturgeon season closes Fishery managers from Oregon and Washington today reopened a Chinook salmon fishery and closed a recreational sturgeon fishery on the Columbia River. Chinook fishing on the lower Columbia River will be open Friday May 27 through Monday May 30, then reopen again on June 3 and continue through June 15 when the summer Chinook fishing season begins. According to Tucker Jones, ODFW’s Columbia River Program manager, the joint state action is based on the remaining allowable catch and a projected run size of 180,000 to the river mouth.
“We’re excited that we can open Chinook fishing over Memorial Day weekend, he said, “And by closing the fishery for a few days in middle of next week we hope to provide some stability to our constituents, and avoid emergency closures for the duration of the season.” The states did leave open the possibility of shortening the season if catch rates are higher than expected over Memorial Weekend. The daily bag limit is two fin-clipped adult salmonids per day of which only one may be a Chinook. Only adipose fin-clipped fish may be kept. Retention of finclipped Chinook jacks is

Tigers’ season ends BY KYLE BOGGS
kboggs@countrymedia.net
The Clatskanie Tigers’ season came up one game short of an entry into the 2016 OSAA 3A Baseball State Playoffs. The Tigers (11-14, 6-6) dropped a Lewis and Clark League playoff game to the Catlin Gabel Eagles (13-7,
7-5) on May 19, falling 3-0. The Eagles scored two runs in the first inning. Catlin Gabel’s pitching and defense made those two runs stand up for the duration of the game. “The Tigers had very few chances to score. In the first inning a runner was thrown out at the plate and in the third a run was
taken off the board due to runner interference,” said Clatskanie head coach Ryan Tompkins. The Tigers finished the game with three hits. Catlin Gabel beat Pleasant Hill, 11-6, in the first round of the playoffs on May 25. Catlin Gabel will play No. 3 Stanfield on May 27.
BASEBALL RAINIER — The secondranked Rainier Columbians (20-4, 12-0 Lewis and Clark League) overcame a slow start in their first-round state playoff game and took a 6-4 win over visiting Salem Academy (1214, 10-5 PacWest Conference) on May 25. The visiting Crusaders stunned the Columbians by taking a 3-0 lead into the fourth inning before the Columbians could get on the board. “It was a lot closer than we anticipated. Had some trouble at the beginning, made some mistakes. Not sure if it was nerves or what it was,” said Rainier assistant coach Ron Guisinger. Rainier chipped away with a couple of runs in the fourth, then took a 4-3 lead. Salem Academy managed to tie the game at four, making it a 4-4 game when Rainier came to the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning. That’s when the excitement escalated for the home team. Junior Johnathan Guisinger drew a leadoff walk, then moved to third on two

GIRLS SOFTBALL Columbians on the road to State Title The first round of the 2016 OSAA 3A Softball State Championships went exactly as the bracket-makers expected, with the higher seeds winning every game. The third-ranked Rainier Columbians (21-6, 12-0 Lewis & Clark League) started their trek toward a fourth straight state title game appearance with a 9-0 victory over visiting Enterprise (12-12, 10-6 Eastern Oregon League). Unfortunately for the Clatskanie Tigers (21-7, 8-4 Lewis & Clark League), the trend of the May 25 games meant their season came to an end. Clatskanie dropped an 11-0 game to fourth-ranked Weston-McEwen (19-4, 14-2 Eastern Oregon League). Rainier will be at home again on May 27 for its 3A
quarterfinal game against the No. 6 Amity Warriors (17-6, 8-2). Their game is Friday May 27 at 5 p.m. The winner of Friday’s game will go on to the 3A
semifinals to face either No. 2 Scio (23-3, 15-0 PacWest Conference) or No. 7 Harrisburg (20-5, 12-3 Mountain Valley Conference).
Rainier ends track season in 11th BY KYLE BOGGS
kboggs@countrymedia.net
EUGENE — Rainier High School ended the season with an 11th-place finish at the 2016 OSAA 3A Girls Track and Field State Championships. The Columbians did the bulk of their scoring in the high jump, where they accumulated 13.5 of their 20.5 team points. The Clatskanie Tigers nearly matched that total in the boys’ team competition. Clatskanie scored 19 points, tying with Cascade Christian for 12th place. Catlin Gabel won the boys state title and St. Mary’s took first place in the girls. Rainier junior Janni Kristensen was the top point scorer among locals at the meet. She picked up eight points in the high jump by finishing as the state’s runner-up. She cleared 5-1 – the same height state champion Kasey Anderson of Willamina reached. Anderson was awarded the title after clearing 5-1 on her first attempt, while it took Kristensen two tries. Columbian sophomore Breana Edwards tied for third place in the high jump, adding 5.5 points. She cleared 5-0 with no misses, as did Cascade Christian freshman Emily Stephens. Kristensen came up with five additional points in the pole vault, where she was the state’s fourth-place finisher. She improved on her PR by more than a foot and a half, clearing 9-6.25. Her previous best effort was 8-0. Rainier’s remaining points came in the 400, where senior Samantha Holland finished seventh in a time of 1:02. Santiam Christian’s Rebeka Preston won in 58.8 seconds. In the boys’ meet, Clatskanie was led by three third-
place finishes. Junior Cooper Starkel finished third in the high jump, making it over the bar at 6-2. Two jumpers from Amity finished ahead of Starkel, clearing 6-4 and 6-3. He also anchored the 4x100 relay team to a thirdplace finish. The team of freshman Cooper Blodgett, freshman Kees Tjaarda, sophomore Ryan Watson and Starkel finished in 44.72 seconds. It was their fastest time of the season. Scio won the race in 44.06. Starkel’s busy weekend also included an eighthplace finish in the 100-meter dash. He ran a time of 11.77 seconds. Watson was the team’s other third-place finisher. He was third in the 110-meter high hurdles, clocking in with a time of 16.18 seconds. He was 12th in prelims of the 300-meter hurdles on the first day of the competition. Senior Bryan Falls scored Rainier’s two points. He finished seventh in the pole vault with a clearance of 11-6.25. His previous best mark was 10-9. After needing three attempts to make it over the bar at 10-6, Falls established a new PR on his first try at 11-0.25. He made it over 11-6.25 on his third and final attempt. Several other CHS and RHS individuals competed at the state meet this year. Clatskanie sophomore Victoria Griffith finished ninth in the 400-meter dash, one second away from qualifying for finals and earning a spot on the awards podium. Rainier had its girls relays teams also come close to scoring points. The 4x400 relay finished ninth in 4:20 and the 4x100 relay was 10th in a time of 52.93 seconds. Junior Julia Patterson’s discus throw of 89-2 was good for ninth in the state. She was 10th in the javelin, throwing 92-9.
First-year Tiger track athlete Emma Carver was 11th in the 800. The junior had a season-best time of 2:36. Among the boys, Clatskanie senior Kiel Biggs threw the javelin 150-7 – a four-foot PR – to finish ninth. Blodgett was 11th in the 200-meter dash preliminaries with a time of 24.51 seconds.
