Clatskanie’s economy brightens
CODY MANN / THE CHIEF
Tourism and new economic development projects are helping to boost the Clatskanie economy.
merce President Gina Dines said she also senses a rebounding of the local economy driven by community events. “Heritage Days started bringing us back to the way it used to be,” she said “More people attended that celebration of our city, so anything that we can do to bring people here will be a positive economic impact for the community.” Pohl said tourism has emerged as a key economic driver for Clatskanie. “Tourism is very important to our city,” she said. Pohl also pointed out that the City of Clatskanie is positioning itself for stronger economic development in the future, including construction of a tournament ballpark on land off Depot Road. “With those fields you can invite baseball and softball teams from

The Clatskanie economy is perking up and the future looks bright according to city officials. Clatskanie Mayor Diane Pohl said several community events this summer, including the Heritage Days Celebration, the city’s annual Fourth of July Parade, the Farmers Market, The 2016 Oregon Bike Ride and the new Clatskaine Festival have helped bring in visitors. “These events brought people into our community who are spending money at our lodging establishments, our restaurants and our shops and businesses,” she said. “The events also make people feel comfortable here and that’s what we want. I am delighted and very encouraged.” Clatskanie Chamber of Com-
all over Oregon, so we’d be able to attract competing teams and their families and they could enjoy our little city,” she said. Pohl said the project also offers an opportunity for local children to play ball. “The local little league field is now up for sale and if that sells those kids would lose that opportunity,” she said. “My first alliance is to have a good place for our kids to be able to play ball.” Pohl said the city has provide land for the ballpark and continues to work with the Oregon Lands Division to mitigate wetlands issues in the area of the proposed 15 acre site. “We are getting engineering date together and now it is a matter of getting the area loose from the state and then launching a fundraising effort,” she said. “It is a very exciting
project.” Pohl said it could cost about $2 million to fund the ballpark project. “But raising that money isn’t impossible,” she said. “We will look for grants and all other kinds of funding opportunities.” Pohl said the fundraising campaign would start as soon as the city gets the land issues resolved with the state. Pohl said another economic boost is expected with development of a recreational vehicle park that could be located along Highway 30 at the Port Westward cutoff. “The RV park was approved 5 years ago,” she said. “But because of financing challenges, it was put on hold. Now, It is a matter of the developers working with the city to get the proper permits up to date and to move forward with this project.”
Pohl also pointed to Port Westward as a key economic driver for the community. “If the methanol manufacturing facility goes in at Port Westward that will bring 250 family wage jobs to the community and attract more commercial business,” she said. “It wouldn’t benefit the city directly as far as tax revenue goes, but the employees and their families would likely shop in Clatskanie and new housing starts that could result with that project would help the local economy.” Dines said the RV park and ballpark projects would certainly be an economic plus for the city. “Both of those projects would defiantly have a positive impact because they would bring people here that may have never been to Clatskanie and maybe they would come back,” Dines said. “It gets us on the map.”
Local woman celebrates 40 years service on the job operations officer, which was turned into an assistant manager and has now become a lead,” she said. Sherman admits staying in the banking business has been challenging for her. “Things change,” she said. “You have to go with the flow and know how to change.” While Sherman has worked in the same building for the past 40 years, her banking companies have changed. “It started out being Western Bank,” she said. “Then it went to a division of Washington Mutual. Then it went to Klamath First. Then it became Sterling Savings and from there it became Umpqua Bank.” Sherman said she has a passion for keeping numbers straight. “When someone’s account is out of balance, trying to find the balance is challenging,” she said.

It is a 40-year milestone for Clatskanie resident 62-year-old Susan Sherman. She has been on the job at the same bank building on Nehalem Street for four decades. “I love my job. I love my people,” she said. “I love the people I work with.” Sherman began her banking career as a teller, moved on to become a bookkeeper, and then proof operator. “And from that job I went back to being a teller and ended up being an

Clatskanie Community Center marks first year anniversary Aug. 30 will mark the one-year anniversary of the grand opening of the renovation of the I.O.O.F. Building and its transformation into the Clatskanie Community Center at 95 Nehalem Street. “It was a real eyesore in the middle of town,” Clatskanie Foundation Board Member and Capital Campaign Chair Deborah Hazen said.” Almost all of the inside of the building had been stripped and it was full of junk.” The building was constructed in 1926 by the local chapter of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F). It was once the home of the Clatskanie post office, the Avalon Theatre, professional offices and the upstairs facilities used by the Odd Fellows and other local organizations. The building opened in 1927 with dances, vaudeville acts and silent movies and served as the center of community life and entertainment for more than 60 years. But by 1989 the building was in need of repair. The theater was closed in the 1980s because it was no longer competitive and the Odd Fellows Lodge dwindled down to
four or five members and those members decided to sell the building. “It went through a series of owners and was finally gutted by one of the owners who had dreams of restoring it, but did not have the money to do the work,” Hazen said. “It was sold to a man is Astoria who used it for a warehouse for junk. The windows were broken and boarded up, the façade was crumbling and it looked horrible right in the middle of town.” Renovating the I.O.O.F Hall began to emerge as a dream of community members in the late 1990s. In the fall of 2005, C. Keith Brikenfeld, a descent of local pioneers, passed away leaving a $500,000 bequest to the Clatskanie Foundation with the stipulation that the money had to be used for a “brinks and mortar” project. “When the foundation got the bequest we felt that the I.O.O.F building was the one we could have the most positive impact on the community by purchasing and restoring it,” Hazen said. Hazen suggested and the foundation board agreed that the building
should be transformed onto a multipurpose 170-seat theater, ballroom with a 2,600 sq. foot suite of offices and council chambers/courtroom upstairs for the City Clatskanie. In lieu of 30 years rent, the city agreed to donate and pay for the demolition of its building and construction of a parking lot. The city also donated the installation of water and sewer lines and to provide those utilities to the nonprofit portions of the building. The purchase of the building was finalized in 2008. The foundation was granted an over $200,000 bequest from the late Dr. Charles Grayson. That was used to develop an engineering report and architectural plans and the first phase of seismic upgrades and the facade restoration were completed in 2010. The Clatskanie Foundation launched a capital campaign in 2011, collecting more than $3 million necessary to renovate the building’s interior and establish a long-term maintenance fund. The building was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2012.

Old city hall building to be demolished BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
CH
This month workers have launched a demolition and asbestos abatement project at the old Clatskanie City Hall building, at 95 South Nehalem Street. The building is scheduled to be torn down this fall. An exact date has not yet been set for the building demolition, according to Mike Engel with the Clatskanie Foundation.
On Monday, Aug. 15, crews started removing asbestos and expect to, wrap up their work at months end. “Then the building will sit until the last week of September when we get the roofing and more of the sheet rock removed,” Engel said. Kynsi Construction from Clatskanie is working on the building. The plan is to remove the old city hall building and the adjacent old Clatskanie Police
Department jail directly behind the old city hall and create a parking lot improvement for the Clatskanie Cultural Center. The center houses city hall offices upstairs. Engel said Lower Columbia Engineering of St. Helens is designing the parking lot with about 20 spaces, landscape areas and an island. The granite bench and light pole in front of the old city hall will be relocated to the new parking lot.
Completion date for the new parking lot is scheduled for the end of November. The work is part of an agreement between the Clatskanie Foundation, owners of the Community Center and the City of Clatskanie for restoration efforts. The city had agreed to provide up to $175,000 from enterprise zone refund money to help in the demolition of the building and development of the new parking lot.

Oregon State Police (OSP) investigators said a traffic crash on Monday, Aug. 15, that briefly shut down Highway 30 just west of Clatskanie was due to driver drowsiness. OSP responded to the motor vehicle crash shortly after 7 a.m., near milepost 61 that involved a Honda sedan and a log truck. According to the OSP log entry, witness statements and roadway evidence indicated that the driver of the Honda automobile, Tyler Sherwin, 21, of Clatskanie, was traveling east on Highway 30 when the Honda crossed
over the center line and into that path of a log truck driver by Steven Joseph Tadei, 25, of Astoria. Investigators said Tadei attempted to avoid the collision but the Honda impacted the driver’s side of the log truck’s rear axel causing significant damage to both vehicles. Sherman was transported by ambulance to St. John’s Hospital in Longview, WA. Tadei was uninjured. Washington State Patrol troopers responded to the hospital and determined that Sherman was not impaired prior to the crash. Sherman indicated to investigators that he had fallen asleep.
ODFW cautions drivers about deer in roadways FRIDAY NIGHTS BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is cautioning drivers in Columbia County to watch for deer crossing Highway 30 and other roadways. “During this time of the year we see an increase in road kill deer primarily because they are searching for food and water sources and when they find those sources they frequently return to those sites,” ODFW North Willamette Watershed District Biologist Don VandeBergh said. “It may be an apple tree on the side of the road that attracts them and that increases the danger of conflict with motorists.” VandeBergh said drivers should also watch for a higher concentration of the deer crossing roadways in
October. “That is the start of the breeding season with much more deer activity and that is when we see another peak of road struck deer,” he said. “It is also the time of the year where it gets darker earlier and that makes it more chal-
lenging for drivers to see the deer.” VandeBergh said once a vehicle hits a deer, depending on the situation, the motorist has a few options. “If the animal is injured and down, you should contact the 911 center,” he said.

Alaskan football is classified differently than Oregon – instead of our six-tiered system it is broken down between large, medium and small – but King speculates the North Pole Patriots would be categorized as a large 4A school. Both junior varsity and varsity teams will be traveling to the far north, and as of now the team expects to bring

36-40 players. Add to that the coaches and the handful of parents who are coming along, and the Rainier football program comes close to filling an entire plane. Traveling is expensive, however, and a good deal of fundraising had to take place in order for this trip to become reality. “It’s pretty expensive, a lot of fundraising, a lot of people
the experience of traveling as a team and the players seeing new places and facing new competition. “A lot of these kids have never been on a plane, let alone anything like Alaska,” King said. “So we sat down and hashed out and thought, you know, it would be a great experience. They do have a good football team up there, and a good program, so we thought
“I hope it brings us all together. That it makes a bond between all the kids and coaches.” – Mike King, Rainier High School football coach involved trying to make it happen,” King said. “One of our assistants, his daughter works for the airline and was talking to the coach up there and that’s pretty much how it got rolling.” The trip isn’t all about football, though. It’s also about
let’s see if we can make it happen.” In addition to football, the team is going to see what the town of North Pole has to offer. Some items on the itinerary include: a trip to Santa’s house, a museum, and some local hot
springs. The Patriots are also playing the part of host. After both the varsity and JV games there will be a tailgate and barbecue. These new experiences, King hopes, will enhance team cohesion. “I hope it brings us all together,” King said. “That it makes a bond between all the kids and coaches.” But of course it is not only about having fun – it’s also about playing well. In preparation for the game, an assistant coach flew to the North Pole and gathered some film on what to expect. The trip should provide an opportunity to not only come together as a team, but to test their mettle on the field.

Rugby Oregon: Fun, friendship and maybe a bloody nose BY CLAUDE AKINS
cakins@countrymedia.net
Let’s start with the basics. The pitch is roughly the size of a football field. There are two forms of rugby, played with either seven or 15 players. The ball cannot be thrown forward – ground is gained either by running or kicking. And it’s the fastest growing sport in the nation. That’s why, gathered in the morning light this past week at McBride Elementary in St. Helens, Rugby Oregon held a camp for Columbia County. Rugby Oregon has been operating since 1999, and in the last few years the organization has seen participation increase. There are programs for third through eighth grade and high school, and until the middle school level the games are noncontact and touch leagues with no tackling. For first time watchers of
rugby, the game feels chaotic, but in a few minutes of watching – which is a considerable amount, considering 7s games max out at 14 minutes – a fluid, team-oriented game emerges. The ball sweeps across the field until it lands in the hands of a speedster – or anyone with an opening downfield. And that style of play and the culture it induces is what makes the game so unique and engaging for a diverse group of players. Rugby professionals, Troy Hall and Stewart Magorian, coach the young players. Each has had success on the professional rugby stage: Hall played for the US Men’s National Team for several years and Magorian played professionally in both Scotland and Italy. For both coaches, camaraderie and inclusivity are the key ingredients both on and off the field. “They all get the ball. They all get to score. It’s not about individuality - everybody is a part of the team,” Magorian
said. “Everybody gets that.” “It isn’t about the winning and the losing,” Hall said. “You can get competitive, but if a kid is showing up and not getting game time it’s not a good look in our eyes. We want to make sure they get out there and get a chance to run with it.” “And it’s not only on the field, off the field is a big part of it as well,” Hall continued. Magorian said that kids who had previously shown no interest in sports or who had perhaps even been shut out of participating are able to find a home in rugby. Both coaches have witnessed players go from disinterested players to engrossed and passionate athletes - not only due to the structure of the game but to the ethos of camaraderie the camp fosters. “They don’t just split after the game. After our games we have socials where we get together, the kids get to eat together,” Hall said.

Firefighters take to the pool for rescue training Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District and the Westport Fire District firefighters spent Monday evening, Aug. 15 at the Clatskanie Pool as part of a special water rescue training drill. The fire crews practiced C-spine techniques for rescuing injured swimmers. They also drilled with rings and throw ropes practicing methods of saving someone in distress in the water. Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District Assistant Chief Bruce Holsey said the hands-on training is essential for firefight-
er skill building and timely. “Because it’s been hot and people have been using their pools to cool off, so this is the perfect time for us to do this type of training,” he said. “It allows us to have the necessary skills to be able to effectively perform water rescues.” Nineteen Clatskanie firefighters participated in the training. Two of the firefighters are wrapping up their water rescue certification requirements. Others are expected to complete their certifications over the months ahead. According to Holsey, the
training and certification is critical in helping the local firefighters be prepared for water rescues at pools, rivers and lakes in the fire district’s132 square miles. The Clatskanie district is also looking for volunteer firefighters. Successful applicants are offered specialized training at the district’s fire training academy held twice a year.
40 years
Sherman also advises new employees to do something else beyond their banking job. “I work as a volunteer secretary at Turning Point (a social service agency in Clatskanie) and Umpqua lets me have the hours to do that.” Sherman said. “So last year I did probably 120 hours of volunteering at Turning Point. That helps ease any stress I may have at the bank.” Sherman also serves as the treasurer for the Clatskanie Chamber of Commerce. Sherman acknowledges that her 40-year career is a milestone. “I am proud of myself for being able to stay at one place for 40 years and that they haven’t kicked me out yet,” she said. “My goal is not to overstay my welcome.” Sherman said she plans to
stay with the bank for maybe three more years. “Susan is a team player and acknowledges other employees successes and serves as a role model,” Umpqua Bank’s Clatskanie Manager Monica Hastings said. “This little dynamite employee exemplifies that mighty things come in small packages.” Umpqua Bank presented Sherman with a paperweight recognizing her 40 years of service and a public reception and open house will be held in Sherman’s honor from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 24 at Umpqua Bank, 199 N Nehalem Street in Clatskanie.
From PAGE A1 While she has never experienced a bank robbery in her 40-year career, Sherman said there was one most disturbing incident several years ago when someone attempted to cash a forged check at the bank drive-thru. “It was a horrible thing,” she said. “We called the police and it ended up being a chase. The guy ended up being shot after he killed an off-duty police officer. It was horrible.” Sherman said her advice to new bank employees is simple. “You have to keep your mind open,” she said. “You have to go with the flow.”

Caution urged during intense heat wave BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
The National Weather Service is advising Columbia County residents to take precautions during this week’s intense heat wave that will produce uncomfortable temperatures. “But the temperatures will be even hotter in Portland and as you move inland,” meteorologist Matthew Cullen at the Portland office of the National Weather Service said. Cullen said temperatures in Clatskanie will likely top out Friday, Aug. 12 in the upper 80’s to mid 90’s and into the low 100’s in Portland and the Willamette Valley into the weekend. “We have a strong high pressure area forming in the northeast Pacific and that will edge into Oregon this week bringing the hot weather,” Cullen said. Cullen said the Oregon Coast is usually the cool spot
in the state during such heat waves, but east winds will send high temperatures to the beaches as well. The Weather Service issued a heat advisory on Wednesday, Aug. 16, for the North and South Oregon Coast. Cullen said this heat wave is stronger than most due to the fact that the temperatures only slightly cool overnight. “Probably only down to the 60’s,” he said. Health authorities say the intense heat will be especially dangerous for the elderly and very young children. “These conditions are also dangerous for anyone working outdoors,” Cullen said. “It is especially important to keep hydrated and limit your exposure in the sun and in the heat.” Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and can kill or cause damage the brain or other internal organs. According to webmd.com, heat stroke is the most serious form of heat injury and is considered a medical emergency.
The symptoms of heat stroke include: • A body core temperature of 105 degrees • Fainting • Dizziness and light-headedness • Throbbing headache • Lack of sweating • Red, hot and dry skin • Muscle weakness or cramps • Nausea and vomiting • Rapid heartbeat, which may be either strong or weak • Rapid shallow breathing • Confusion, disorientation or staggering • Seizures • Unconsciousness Cullen said he expected temperatures to drop a few degrees by Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but will likely heat back up over the next two weeks.

er at Garlic Festival in Clatskanie this weekend nd The Clatskanie Farmers Market will hold its second annual Garlic Festival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20 at Cope’s Park. This year will again feature roasted garlic and artisan breads, but there will also be numerous types of goat cheese to accompany the pungent main feature. One of the new vendors is making a cheese especially for the occasion: garlic infused chevre. The market has taken full advantage of the new state law allowing home bakers to sell their goods. You should expect to find artisan loaves, focaccia, as well as a variety of other bakery treats. The regular food demonstration booth will turn its talents to all things garlic for the occasion. The market’s tapas chef will be turning out salsas, gazpachos and pickled cloves to highlight the intensely unique flavors of raw garlic. Clatskanie is blessed with ideal conditions for growing the bulb. Wet winters trending towards drier weather in early summer, combined with nutrient-rich soil, create excellent conditions for garlic growing. This fact is borne out by the variety of garlic that will be available. There will be at least 13 varieties of hard and soft neck garlic being sold. Even though elephant garlic isn’t true garlic (it’s in the leek family) at least one grower
will offer it as well. All told, there will be several hundred bulbs to choose from. The festival will offer old favorites like Spanish Roja, Susanville, Italian Late, and Music, but will also offer a wide selection of more hard-to-find garlics, including Jimmy’s Blue Mountain, Pitterelli, Notka Rose, Bogatyr, Penasco Blue, Duganski, Mt. Hood, Turk Giant, Purple Glazer, and Blanak. And this year due to excellent gardening practices - but possibly because of last winter’s floods - the bulbs are enormous, according to the Clatskanie Farmer’s Market.
Whether you’re looking for that yearly bag of Music (which when well-cured has a shelf life of 4-6 months) want a spicy bulb to kick up your barbecue sauce, or you’re just curious and would like to sample roasted garlic and chevre, the Clatskanie market will have what you are looking for. Due to the high concentration and potency of the delicious bulbs, the Clatskanie Farmer’s Market advises all vampires to stay away. If you are a vampire and worried about falling ill, please contact your local vampire public health official.

Donated school supplies fill up Tina Viuhkola’s office at Turning Point in Clatskanie. The supplies will be placed in backpacks and distributed to children in need.
Community helps fill school supply need BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
It’s been a busy summer’s end for Tina Viuhkola and her small staff of volunteers at Clatskanie’s Turning Point. They have been on a mission of hope and charity collecting school supplies for children in need. Dozens of applications from families with children have come into turning point seeking the school supplies. “I suspect we will get many more applications at the last minute. People tend to wait until the last minute because they have so many other issues to deal with,” Viuhkola said as she organized containers full of pencils, stacks of paper and other supplies that filled her office and parts of the adjoining space at Turning Point. The United Way’s annual Stuff The Bus school supply donation campaign that began July 11, ended on Aug. 12. The effort included various drop sites throughout the city for people to donate the supplies, including a small school bus parked at the Clatskanie Safeway Shopping Center last week for people
to drop off donations. “People were very generous,” Viuhkola said. “We had overwhelming support from the community and we received more supplies and cash donations this year compared to last year.” Viuhkola said the Lutheran Church made a donation of notebooks, colored pencils, binders, paper and markers. According to Viuhkola, her volunteer staff will fill up about 110 backpacks for the children. This week Viuhkola and her volunteers kept busy filling the backpacks and using cash donations to purchase school supplies not included in the donations. “I have to go buy binders, color pencils, and paper,” she said. We still need Clorox Wipes and dry erase markers. Some of the kids have to have black markers, while others have to have packages of different colors. We will need those school supplies by Aug. 30.” Any cash donations left over in the campaign are used for elementary and high school scholarships.
“When I am done purchasing all the supplies we need, the left over money goes to scholarship to meet students needs. Also, we donate money to the high school for student body cards or for sports participation. Many of the people that fill out applications for the backpacks don’t have the money for the student fees, so it is nice for us to have the money to help those families and their children.” Viuhkola said people who have registered will be able to start picking up the backpacks filled with supplies at Turning Point after Aug. 22. For more information, contact Turning Point at 503728-3126. Turning Point is located at 220 E Columbia River Highway in Clatskanie. Turning Point is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Mondays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
