Investigation findings of police chief’s actions won’t be made public

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

Although Scappoose Interim City Manager Don Otterman has completed his review of the investigation and disciplinary action taken against Police Chief Doug Greisen and is now wrapping up a second investigation, don’t look for details of those investigations to be made public.

Otterman said earlier this week that public records requests filed by the media (including The Chronicle) for the investigaDon Otterman tion findings would be denied. The Chronicle has already filed an appeal with the Columbia County District Attorney’s Office.

While specific details won’t be made public, Otterman did issue a statement stating he would be upholding the disciplinary action taken by the former city manager, Jon Hanken, last September.

“The interim City Manager, Don Otterman, independently reviewed and analyzed the original investigation report, discipline issued and the [Personnel Review Committee’s] advisory opinion.

Based on Mr. Otterman’s review, he has concluded that the discipline issued is warranted by the facts and findings and has sustained the original discipline decision. The City now considers this disciplinary matter to be complete and final. The interim City Manager has notified Chief Greisen of his decision,” reads the statement.

Learning to problem solve … with robots

BY KYLE BOGGS sports@thechronicleonline.com

A box full of metal, some rubber tread and a few other odds and ends. It looks a lot like an assortment of items you’d see scattered about a garage.

Yet with hours and hours of work from a dedicated group of St. Helens High School students, these bits and pieces become operable robots capable of picking up blocks, moving them around, and even doing pull-ups.

The St. Helens High School Robotics Club had its final competition of the school year on Jan. 26 at Tigard High School. It was the culmination of many hours spent tinkering, adjusting and building. One of the two St. Helens teams reached the semifinals of the competition, but lost two out of three matches.

Both St. Helens teams improved from their showing at their December competition at Glencoe High School, which many team members described as a learning experience.

Senior Ryan Zmolek said one of the biggest changes that needed to be made was to the robot’s basket.

“At the first competition, our robot was bad at picking up blocks. Other ones were getting 10 or 20; ours got four,” Zmolek said.

After that competition,

team – Carnivorous Energy – adapted the robot to emulate the others they had seen at the competition.

They did so by staying after school up to five nights a week, sometimes until as late as 6:30 p.m. Other times

they’d come in on days they didn’t have school to work on their robot.

Merkley talks gridlock, funding, deficit at town hall meeting

BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@thechronicleonline.com

Political partisanship was on full display at a town hall meeting held by Sen. Jeff

Merkley (D-Ore.) in Scappoose on Jan. 22. Merkley met for about an hour with a group composed of mostly students, local dignitaries and county residents with an interest in politics.

Scappoose resident and school board member Lisa Maloney used the opportunity to state that on Jan. 22, 41 years ago, Roe v. Wade passed into law and that in this country we had aborted

50 million children. She then confronted Merkley on the federal deficit, which she said now stands at close to $17 trillion, stating, “When I hear the term investments coming from these elected officials, what that means is you’re taking our money and putting it somewhere else.”

Merkley used the opening to point out that in the year 2000 we had a surplus, not a deficit and were on our way to paying down the debt.

“The question,” replied Merkley, “is how did we get to that $17 trillion?”

An accomplished politician, he then pointed out the unfunded wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the unfunded Medicare Part D, the Bushera tax breaks that mostly benefitted the wealthy and the predatory lending practices that lead to the housing collapse as reasons the deficit stands where it does.

“It’s going to take a lot of bi-partisan effort to get there,” Merkley added.

Most of the questions, largely from the students in attendance, were less inciting. They focused on questions such as what was the government shutdown like. Merkley said was not well received.

When asked what could be done to make higher education more affordable, Merkley talked about a bill working it’s way through the Senate. The proposed legislation would increase the availability of Pell Grants, lower the rates on Stafford Loans and facilitate an innovative plan called “Pay it Forward.”

In 2013, the Oregon Legislature passed a bill instructing the Higher Education Coordinating Commission to develop an alternate method of funding higher education for students, that program has now come to be known as “Pay it Forward.”

Incentives play a key role in county’s economic development efforts

Port considers proposed methanol refinery

Don’t miss tonight’s “Kitchen Table Conversation” on Economic Development from 6–8 p.m. at the Columbia Learning Center at St. Helens Public Library. The event is hosted by Columbia County Citizens for Human Dignity and is co-sponsored by The Chronicle and the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation. Attendees will include representatives for local government, Business Oregon and the Port of St. Helens. This event is open to the public although seating is limited.

When it comes to bringing new businesses – and just as importantly new

jobs – to Columbia County, there are a number of incentive programs for business owners and investors to understand. Whether it’s an enterprise zone, urban renewal district or Strategic Investment Program, each is unique in what it has to offer. To understand how economic development in approached in Columbia County, you first have to understand how each program works.

Newly formed Northwest Innovation Works, the company proposing to build a $1 billion, two-phased methanol refinery on a little more than 80 acres at Port Westward presented its proposal to the Port of St. Helens’ commissioners late last week.

An overflowing audience filled the Clatskanie PUD offices to listen to the Jan. 23 presentation, which according to company officials will bring nearly 1,000 construction jobs to the area for three years along with 120 fulltime jobs once the refinery is built.

“Northwest Innovation Works is interested in building a methanol manufacturing facility and we’re excited

by the prospect of bringing new, family-wage jobs to the community,” said Northwest Innovation President Vee Godley III. “Our business is not unlike the boards produced in northwest lumber mills or the chips produced

by Intel or the planes made

by Boeing.”

The company has said it will create the methanol, also known as wood alcohol, by bringing natural gas to the plant through existing pipelines out of Mist. Godley confirmed that while other facilities use other products like coal or Liquid Natural Gas to produce methanol, that would not be the case at Port Westward.

don’t have to rely on the tax breaks.

Urban Renewal District Back in 2000, the Columbia County Board of Commissioners formed the Columbia County Development Agency, which was tasked with developing an Urban Renewal District at Port Westward. There is another urban renewal district in Rainier.

“It’s tax incremental financing. When you create these, you establish a date and at that date you freeze the taxes that are assessed on this property. An incremental investment would have that money – rather than being paid into the taxing district and the general fund – will go to projects,” said Daughtry.

Funding for the urban renewal district comes directly from taxpayers and can be seen on the annual property tax bills. According to the county, a 2002 ruling by the Oregon Supreme Court determined that the district “must be categorized as general government subject to the Measure 5 limitation that the total consolidated general government tax rate must not exceed $10 per $1,000 Measure 5 Assessed Value.” The urban renewal district is funded by generating revenue on the excess value of the area from all taxing district levies within the designated area.

The purpose of the district is to provide funds for improvements in “blighted” areas as defined under Oregon law as one that is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the

community “by reason of deterioration, faulty planning, inadequate or improper facilities, deleterious land use or the existence of unsafe structures.”

The statue further defines conditions that characterize a “blighted area” as unsafe buildings or structures, the existence of inadequate streets, open space, and utilities, a prevalence of depreciated values, and a growing or total lack of proper utilization of an area.

“Port Westward is overlapping. It has an enterprise zone inside of an urban renewal district,” added Daughtry. “So any incremental funds that come in will first service the existing debt.”

Strategic Investments The Strategic Investment Program (SIP) exempts a portion of large capital investments from property taxes. These programs are available across the state for projects developed by “traded-sector” businesses, most often used for manufacturing firms. Traded sector is defined under Oregon law as “industries in which member firms sell their goods or services into markets for which national or international competition exists.”

According to Business Oregon, “the Strategic Investment Program can offer exceptional benefits in terms of net present value,” depending on the investment size.

minimum necessary criteria.

The requirements state the business has to be moving into the zone and can’t already be operating in the zone boundary, must have a minimum investment of $50,000, and create at least one job.

“If they meet those criteria, then they are eligible for Standard Enterprise Zone benefits. For the new investment they make, they don’t have to pay taxes for two years, while the construction is in process. And they get three years of tax abatement.”

Supporters of the incentive program say it’s these tax breaks that lure new business development to the area and that without them it would be difficult to compete with other states, like Washington which does not have a personal income tax (although it does have a el- state sales tax). bie “We have a company of coming in from Connecticut City,to one of the port buildand ings that is going to spend a ch of quarter of a millions dollars e. on equipment and it should take them three months nts to get operational.

ROBOTS: it’s all about solving the problem From PAGE A1

about a dozen students were in the robotics room finalizing changes on their robots before the competition. They wanted both robots to be fine-tuned for the tasks that lie ahead. All of these hours of work are tested during a span of two minutes and thirty seconds.

The competition starts with a 30-second autonomous period. During this time, students are not allowed to control the robot; however the robot can still accomplish tasks that it has been programmed to do ahead of time.

The autonomous period is followed by a 1:30 session during which students use a remote controller to operate the robot. During this time, the goal is to pick up and transport as many blocks as possible from a corner of the arena to any of four baskets hanging along a ramp in the middle of the arena.

Once that 90-second time frame is up, 30 seconds remain for what is called the end game. During the final 30 seconds, teams are awarded points if their robots can raise a flag in one of the arena’s corners or if it can suspend itself from a bar in the middle of the arena.

For all of this work, they are not awarded any school credit. Instead, it’s more like a team sport.

“It’s pretty fun making it to a state tournament, to be

one of the 30 best teams out of 180,” said club advisor Neil Ford.

The top two teams from the Tigard tournament advanced to this year’s state tournament, meaning Carnivorous Energy was on the verge of extending its season and competing among the best of the 180 robotics teams from around the state.

Even if this season is now over, the lessons learned will pay off down the road.

The robotics club, now in its fourth year of existence, has several alumni currently studying engineering in college. Ford said the tasks his club does aren’t far off from some of the activities he had to do while he was an engineer student at Oregon State University.

The biggest lesson learned is how to problemsolve.

“If it isn’t working, figure out a way to make it work,” Ford said.

When the students joined the club at the beginning of the school year, they were stuck with that giant box of scraps. From there, they had to figure out how to create functioning robots without the help of much other than their collective imaginations and intuition.

With an influx of freshmen in the club this year, there wasn’t a whole lot of experience from years past to lean back on. But those challenges – along with the ability to create things – are

part of the attraction.

“I like designing things, building things with Legos.

I got excited in seventh or eighth grade,” said freshman Phillip Robinson.

For others, the intrigue comes from family members.

“My oldest brother went to state,” said sophomore Alec Martinson. “And I like mechanical, technical stuff.”

Martinson and Robinson are on the Carnivorous Energy team along with Zmolek.

But because interest in the robotics club has increased

so much, this year there are two teams – the other named Get With The Program.

When Ford started the club, he had 10 members. It increased to 16 each of the last two years before growing to 20 members this year.

That trend at SHHS reflects

FINDINGS: disciplinary action to be upheld by city manager From PAGE A1 tion taken by Hanken stemmed from allegations filed against Greisen by a Scappoose Police officer following a February 2013 police pursuit of a hit-andrun driver. An investigator from Local Government Personnel Institute – which provides human resources and labor relations assistance to cities, counties and special districts – was then hired to review the 10 allegations made against Greisen, which were eventually upheld. Based on those findings, Hanken issued a two-week suspension.

“Chief Greisen dis-

agreed with this disciplinary decision and exercised his right under the City of Scappoose Municipal Code to have a Personnel Review Committee (PRC) appointed by the Mayor. The PRC reviewed the discipline issued by Mr. Hanken to ‘determine whether the city manager action was, in the judgment of the PRC, in compliance with existing policies and law, and make a written recommendation to the city manager,’” reads Otterman’s statement.

The PRC, which was comprised of City Councilors Barb Hayden, Mark Reed and Jason Meshell, reviewed LGPI’s findings

and Hanken’s disciplinary actions and found the actions to be “out of proportion” and recommended those actions be retracted.

A retired police chief from Lake Oswego was then hired to review the investigation records and the LGPI findings, who ultimately agreed with those findings.

Chief Greisen remains on suspension pending the outcome of two additional investigations, one related to unaccounted for city funds and another alleging workplace retaliation. The officer who originally filed the allegations also remains on leave.

“We’re convinced our product will be both good for the environment and good for the economy for the long term,” said Godley.

The first step for the

company will be to obtain a lease option agreement with the port. The port commissioners are expected to review the request for the lease agreement at its Feb. 12 meeting, which will be held at the port office in Columbia City.

Like those in the audience, the port commissioners also had plenty of questions about the project, including what kind of byproducts are produced in the process, how those byproducts are disposed of, what kind of storage capacity will the company need

to house the 5,000 metric tons of methanol that would be produced daily at Port Westward, what kind of market exists for methanol, what the permitting process will involve, and many others.

Some of those answers can be on the company’s recently launched website at NWInnovationWorks.com.

Additional answers will be posted as they become available.

MERKLEY: senator covers wide-range of subjects From PAGE A1 sioned a plan that would replace traditional student loan funding of higher education with a contract with the student. The contract would call for the student to pay a percent of future wages after graduation into a fund that would pay the cost of schooling for future students. The percent and the time of repayment would be capped and set by the school. Merkley wants Oregon’s plan to be a pilot program for the federal effort.

“We’d love for Oregon to be the very first one to launch it,” he said.

On the subject of legalizing marijuana, a quick poll showed the audience split between pro and con.

Marijuana legalization, Merkley said, was a stateby-state issue.

When asked about timber funding and logging policy, Merkley said Sen. (Ron) Wyden (D-Ore.) was working on a bill now and urged audience members who had thoughts about it to send those ideas to Sen. Wyden.

Letters Local support for HB4048 Chronicle readers may recall that a citizen of the St. Helens community, Jennifer Warren, was murdered on May 20, 2012, by an individual who was under the “supervision” of Oregon’s Psychiatric Security Review Board (PSRB). Jennifer worked for the local mental health agency, and she was killed by one of its patients while she attempted to deliver his medication. This same individual had a known history of violence, as he had attempted to kill his own mother several years earlier, yet the state failed to impose any adequate safeguards to protect those dealing with him afterwards.

As if this were not tragic enough, there is also a loophole in Oregon law preventing any claim from being brought against a state agency such as the PSRB for failing to adequately supervise the perpetrator, since Jennifer was “on the job.” As it is, then, Jennifer leaves behind a 22 year-old daughter and a baby granddaughter with no adequate recourse for this brutal and senseless act.

With the above in mind, I am writing on behalf of Jennifer’s estate to let you know that your State Representative, Brad Witt, has been diligently fighting to pass House Bill 4048, which will allow families of victims of wrongful death resulting from the negligence of a state employee or agency to bring a claim against the State of Oregon. Rep. Witt will continue this fight in the upcoming legislative session, scheduled to begin Feb. 3,

Speedbump

2014.

If House Bill 4048 is passed in the House of Representatives, it will then be taken up in the Senate, where state Sen. Betsy Johnson is also expected to fight against the special interest groups opposing this bill. In fact, Betsy has shown enough personal concern in this matter to have attended Jennifer’s memorial services.

Whether or not you knew Jennifer Warren, or simply want to see an injustice in Oregon law rectified, please let Brad and Betsy know that you support their efforts in Jennifer’s name, and that you are proud to have elected officials representing us who put the concerns of the people of Columbia County at the top of their priority list.

James C. Horn Attorney, Jennifer Warren Estate An excellent adventure Columbia City now has a well-designed, very large, safe doggie park. Of course it is completely fenced, as it should be. The rules that need to posted for the safety of our four-legged buddies, as well as their owners, is very conspicuous for everyone to observe. I want to commend Shannon Fitzsimmons for suggesting this park as a need and seeing to it that it became a reality. Through the efforts and partnership of the Columbia County Work Crew, Port of St. Helens and the Columbia City Parks Department our community now has a very functional asset.

ing problem down the road until the next election, and have done so ever since.

It is now 2014, the local courts need for jail beds still average in the low 40s, the jail is still three times larger than the county needs, and the registered voters are still defeating ballots for jail funding. The main difference is that there are no more places for the sheriff

to reduce cost to keep the jail open and kick the funding problem down the road.

No matter how important people may think having a jail is, there are no more funds available.

Repeatedly, Columbia County voters have voted no, nada, nein… in whatever language they speak they

from being able to exercise their beloved dogs and outof-town people will hear of it as well. “Oh! We can stop in Columbia City and let the dogs run for awhile.”

When people travel, you can bet they will try to find a safe spot for their dogs to run. Who knows? It might create more interest in this community.

My girl had her first introduction last Tuesday and played happily with a very sweet six-month-old German shepherd/retriever.

When the rules state, “No Aggressive Dogs,” I do hope people will realize what harm and injury can result from an infraction of this rule. Kennel cough vaccine is a must when socializing your dog.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in this venture. You did an excellent job. By the way, this is a great way to socialize as humans, too. Funny how I remember the other dog’s name when my girl goes to greet her new found friend.

Ginni Davis, Columbia City Respect voters’ wishes In the late 1990s, Columbia County courts’ need for jail beds averaged in the low 40s while the jail capacity was 36 beds with an additional three beds for short term use. Instead of building a modest 80-bed jail with a modest operating budget, Columbia County built a state of the art jail with a 255 bed maximum capacity without an operating budget, but was confident that they could pass a budget after they learned the operating cost of the

new facility.

After the new jail opened in 2001, the county learned quickly that they did not have the necessary funds to properly operate the facility and proposed a ballot measure. To their surprise Columbia County voters rejected their proposal, leaving the county to reduce sheriff services to keep the jail open and kick the fund-

Railroad has a history of safety and cooperation

BY DAVID SPRAU Warren

Letters to the editor in The Chronicle continue to criticize rail traffic through our county, suggesting explosions, bridge disasters and other “possible” calamities.

I don’t work for the current operator of the railroad, so cannot speak for them, but I did have 40 years of service with their predecessor before retiring, and feel I can comment.

Within the past 20 years, the number of deaths in our county wherein the railroad was to blame is zero. The railroad does us a daily favor by keeping at least 200 trucks off Highway 30, and I don’t know how many traffic accidents have killed people locally on that highway in the past 20 years, but it’s a lot more than “zero,” and not likely to improve.

Additionally, each day, dozens of trucks pass through on Highway 30 carrying acids, alkali, chemicals, double loads of gasoline, and many other hazardous or dangerous commodities. I see no handwringing suggesting “something must be done about this possibly dangerous traffic” or suggesting “shutting down” Highway 30 (nor should there be), but the railroad gets yelled at in the paper, nearly every week.

Recently a question was raised about the railroad bridge located near Milton Way and Dubois in St Helens. Someone was sure the bridge’s “stability” was “definitely” in question, and urged a letter-writing blitz in protest. Here is some history: Way back in ancient times, when the Trojan plant was under construction, the company operating the railroad was required to accept a shipment of very

heavy generation equipment shipped by rail. It only consisted of a few carloads, but they were on special “Schnabel” cars with about twice as many axles as normal, and much heavier than anything normally hauled by rail.

As a precaution, the railroad company put temporary additional bracing under many of their bridges, just to make they weren’t stressed, and everything was safe.

Some of this bracing was left in place long after these shipments were safely handled, because the railroad thought more such business might be forthcoming. As it turned out, none of this precautionary work was even necessary, but the railroad did the proper thing by erring on the side of safety.

After the Trojan plant was decommissioned, eventually this temporary bracing was removed. One glance at the huge steel deck and girders of the bridge at Milton Way

and Dubois by anyone who knows anything about railroad bridges would clearly show that it isn’t designed for, nor needs, center bracing, and is plenty safe for anything that might move by rail today.

Other letters have complained about “waiting 40 minutes” for a train to pass.

Barring signal malfunctions, I doubt if it was that long, but Oregon is free to pass a law forbidding blocking a crossing in excess of a time period much less than that.

Most states have laws in place stating “10 minutes.”

Authorities are then free to issue citations for excessive blockage. Most the letterwriters go on to admit, in their letters, that what they really would like is for local authorities to somehow “stop the trains.” That’s impossible. Authorities can issue citations to railroad for unreasonable crossing blockage, or can negotiate over

maintained to Federal Railroad Administration Class “Two” or “Three” so trains could safely move through town at a speed competitive with trucks that also carry all kinds of hazardous and nonhazardous material on the highway – about 30 mph or more. Then, a mile-long train could pass over a crossing in less than two minutes – the same amount of time now spent by motorists at red traffic signals at intersections like Columbia Street and Highway 30.

There also are steps the railroad could be urged to take, to shorten railcarswitching movements during rush hour traffic. I cannot speak for the current rail operator, but generally railroad companies try to get along, and endeavor to do whatever they can to help municipalities in situations such as these. Has anyone tried, or have we only sat around and complained?

SIMON (M) You really need to stop in and see me. My name is Simon and I am as sweet XXXXX (X) as can be. I came to the shelter as a stray, so the peeps here XXXXX (X) really don’t know much about me and my past. I am a sweet little guy, however, I am a little older. My teeth show my age.

safety concerns, but they can’t stop them; to try to do so is a waste of taxpayers’ money.

One of these authorities, a Ms. DeShazer, was roundly criticized simply for speaking common sense: if someone buys a house near a railroad track that has been in place since 1883, and then complains because “trains are noisy,” who is to blame for that, the homeowner or the railroad?

To be fair: railroad companies need to spend “whatever it takes” to make transport safe and keep it that way. If that includes highway underpasses, or other improvements to infrastructure, so be it. But if someone wants to beat up on a railroad, a much more productive exercise, through our local officials, would be to contact the railroad company and urge their taking sufficient steps to get every bit of track through our town

Obituaries Dorothy Dean Hagerty Dorothy Dean Hagerty, Ph.D., 84 of Albany, died Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2014, of heart disease in the same home she helped design and build 53 years ago.

Dorothy was born Dorothy D. Hagerty Feb. 8, 1929, in Eureka, Mont., to William and Fern Heber, and moved to St. Helens shortly after. Dorothy attended McBride Elementary School and graduated from St. Helens High School in 1947.

After graduation, she enrolled first at Lewis and Clark College in Portland for her freshman year and transferred to Oregon State University as a pharmacy major for her sophomore year. It was at OSU that she met her future husband, Hal Hagerty, in their organic chemistry class. Dorothy and Hal eloped Sept. 20, 1949, in Vancouver, Wash. As Hal finished his degree, Dorothy worked in a flower shop in Corvallis and moved to San Jose, Calif., after Hal’s graduation in 1949.

In San Jose, Dorothy opened her own flower shop and worked as an event florist for four years. It was in San Jose that she and Hal had their first child, Rebecca Ann, in 1952. In 1954, the family moved back to Oregon so Hal could start dental school in Portland and Dorothy taught third grade at McBride Elementary School in St. Helens.

In 1961, Dorothy was able to help custom design and build a house in North Albany where she lived with her family for the next 53 years.

Dorothy and Hal had three more children: Patrick Vincent in 1959, John Stansell in 1962 and Sarah Elizabeth in 1966. John preceded her in death in 2000.

In 1979, Dorothy went back to school and obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and a Master of Fine Arts from Oregon State University. In 1985, she earned her Ph.D. in Architecture from OSU with her thesis focused on the architecture and interior design of medieval manor houses of Britain, traveling overseas for her research. In 1985, she was hired to create the Bachelor of Arts program at Bassist College in Portland, now The Art Institute. In 1989, she started her own interior design business, D. Hagerty Interiors, that continued until her passing.

Dorothy was known as a passionate and brilliant painter and artist for over 50 years. With oil and canvas as her primary mediums, she painted landscapes, abstracts and was famously known for her colorful impressionist floral pieces. Her treasured pieces not only adorn the walls of family and friends, but can also be found at banks, churches and offices around the state and country.

Dorothy was able to help support her children’s college education through the sales of her paintings. Dorothy also had a love for travel. She was one of the owners and founders of Pathfinder Travel Agency in Corvallis and over her life was able to travel to many different countries and even explored the Galapagos Islands and Amazon rainforest with her son, John.

Traveling through time, Dorothy dove fearlessly into genealogy, researching her family history back to the 12th century and contacting distant relatives from around the world. Dorothy will be remembered as a sweet and caring grandma who loved to sit and watch the birds and deer from her rocking chair in her home. She brought color, creativity and inspiration into the lives of her family and friends, and her humor and wisdom will be missed by all that loved her.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband, Hal. She is survived by her daughter, Rebecca Fickas and husband, Stephen, of Eugene; son, Patrick Hagerty and wife, Stephanie, of Albany; daughter, Sarah Hagerty of Portland; grandchildren, Kate Fickas-Naleway and Max Fickas, Alexandra Syme and Christina Hagerty and Anna, David and April Mallery; and sister, Glenora Congrove and husband, Jerry, of St. Helens.

A memorial celebration and Dorothy Hagerty art exhibit will be Saturday, March 1, 2014, at Sybaris Restaurant, 442 First Ave. W. in Albany, with an open house from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and remarks at noon. Contributions may be made to Evergreen Hospice c/o Fisher Funeral Home, 306 Washington St. S.W., Albany, OR 97321, or the Cornell Lab of Ornithology at&# 58; www. allaboutbirds.org.

William Alvin Thorpe William “Bill” Alvin Thorpe passed away peacefully at home and went home to be with the Lord on Jan. 20, 2014.

Bill was born on Jan. 9, 1939, to Nathan and Margaret Thorpe in Hermiston, Ore. He grew up in Boardman Ore., where he William A. Thorpe recalled fun times of roaming the deserts with his brothers and friends, hunting pheasants, ducks and sometimes each other.

In high school, Bill starred (his version of the story) on the football field and baseball field. He loved that he could play either right- or left-handed, giving him the advantage over other teams.

It was on the volleyball court that he met love of his life, Teresa Obermeier, and they were married in 1958.

A couple years later they moved to St. Helens where Bill started work at Boise Cascade. In 1967 – and two kids later – they purchased and remodeled their home in Deer Island, where Bill loved to have family and friends over often.

Bill used his talents of woodworking, archery and other skills to teach his kids and other 4-Hers. He also used those gifts that God had given him to lend a hand to many in the Deer Island community, church and to his elderly friends and neighbors.

An avid fisherman and hunter, he enjoyed hunting and fishing trips with friends and the family spent many camping trips searching for the elusive great fishing hole. When the grandkids came along, Bill and Teresa would pile them into the motor home and continue the memories and love of camping and fishing.

A life-long member of Grange, he faithfully served the Deer Island Grange and Pamona, he enjoyed spending his 75th birthday at his last meeting of Grange. He also enjoyed Pinochle and knew every card everyone had!

Bill was extremely proud of all of his grandchildren and even more proud of his great-grands. Bill and Teresa followed them over the years in all of their activities attending plays, recitals, ball games, tournaments etc.

Retiring from Boise Cascade after 38 years gave Bill and Teresa more time to travel and searching out more of the unknown fishing spots along with clamming and camping. Bill didn’t slow down in helping others though, his new “mission field” became taking care of elderly neighbors, fixing things around their homes, Dr. appointments and just listening to their stories. He also took on the care of the Kinder Cemetery as he and

Teresa diligently and lovingly spent countless hours taking care of the Kinder Cemetery.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, Nathan Thorpe; brother Jim Thorpe and great-granddaughter Abigail Worthington.

He is survived by his wife, Teresa Thorpe, of 55 years; daughter Connie Thorpe of Portland; son Bill and daughter-in-law Kris Thorpe of Warren, seven grandkids and eight great-grandkids, as well as his mother, Margaret Thorpe, of Hermiston, Ore.

James Rensch James (Jim) Rensch of St. Helens, passed away on Jan. 19, 2014, after a courageous battle with cancer.

He was 64. Jim was born on Aug. 6, 1949, in St. Helens, Oregon to Jojames Rensch seph and Evelyn (Nelson) Rensch.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Pam; daughter Jennifer Perez, and son-in-law, Norberto Perez; and grandsons Samuel and Maxwell. He is also survived by his mother, Evelyn Bell; brother Jerry Rensch and sister-in law Kathy Rensch; and mother-in-law, Vera Fix; along with many nieces and nephews.

The most important thing to Jim was spending time with his family. His favorite past times included camping at the Wickiup Reservoir, skiing, and working in his yard with his wife, daughter, and grandsons alongside him. He adored his new grandson Max (4 months) and shared a very special bond with his “Little Buddy” Sam (4 years).

Jim was a lifelong resident of St. Helens, graduating from St. Helens High School in 1967. He was an all-around athlete, but his favorite sport was baseball. He was awarded a full scholarship to play baseball at the University of Illinois and was also invited to play professionally for the Cleveland Indians. In 1993 he was inducted into the St. Helens High School Hall of Fame.

Keeping with Jim’s love of sports, he began each morning simultaneously reading the sports section of the newspaper and watching sports news on television while drinking his cup of coffee. He was a huge fan of the Oregon Ducks and enjoyed coaching his daughter’s fast-pitch softball team.

Jim was a carpenter by trade and homebuilder. He started Jim Rensch Construction Company in the late 1970s. He built many custom homes in Columbia County, including his and his wife’s family home in 1979, as well as his daughter’s home in 2003.

Jim’s easy going nature and trademark silent laugh will be sorely missed.

A Celebration of Life is planned for Sunday, Feb. 9, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the St. Helens Elks Lodge.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances are suggested to the American Cancer Society or the Columbia County Humane Society.

Arrangements are by the Columbia Funeral Home.

LETTERS From PAGE A5

Being this is the United States of America and that voting results are legal and binding, I request that elected officials in the county respect the voters’ wishes.

Joe Turner, Columbia City Business beware I would be very cautious of dealings with China. A recent report about numerous U.S. businessmen who have tried to do business in China, reveals they have run into unbelievably unscrupulous business practices, not to mention China’s retched industrial-caused pollution in their own country.

What’s with Kitzhaber’s special interest in bringing businessmen into this country that have no regard for their own environment, let alone the United States?

I am no “tree-hugger” environmentalist, but considering the fact that the people of Columbia County cried their eyes out over “coal trains” coming through the county, will they now allow Gov. “Taxaber” to motivate businessmen from a pollutioncausing country like China to build a methanol plant here?

Yes we need jobs, but at what price?

Caty Engen, Scappoose WAKE UP! We live in a quaint, historic, quiet little town situated on the banks of the majestic Columbia River. We offer community activities year round, fishing, youth activities, good schools and tight-knit communities throughout. But, we need to wake up and see the danger before it is too late.

Our kids are being offered drugs and invited into the drug culture before they have developed their sense of making good choices, in spite of the fact that we parents have worked with them to make good choices since they could walk. Our hearts are broken when we notice items missing from our home, our children starting to fail in school and notice they are no longer confiding in us, but keeping secrets.

The sheriff cannot do

his job without funding, the Drug Unit cannot do their job without funding. I realize that means more taxes in an already depressed area, but the cost to our community and way of life will cost us far more than any tax increase.

We are being overrun by this low-life culture with no concern but to line their own pockets at the expense of those who keep trying, in vain, to provide a safe and secure place to live and raise our children. We need to confront this with a vengeance and we need to do it now. The word is out that St. Helens is open for crime, with limited resources to fight them. Wake up! We need law enforcement.

Julia Clark, St. Helens One chance We keep hearing of the pending city purchase of the Boise Sawmill land at the end of First Street, downtown. What concerns me is the use that the land will be put to. Some city councilors have been stating that the overwhelming majority of the land should be developed for condominiums, with only a narrow portion along the river (75 feet) maintained for public use.

This would be a mistake of major proportions.

As was said in an earlier edition of The Chronicle, “We have one chance to get it right.” No statement could be truer. We have been a town of lost opportunities.

We have torn down many of the most historic structures in the name of public safety.

We demand expensive upgrades and deny use permits for old buildings that then sit empty or only marginally used. We sell land that should have been maintained for parks and recreation, i.e., The John Gumm ball field. We vacate streets that could be used for public access to the riverfront. We fail to take advantage when land becomes available, such as the Bumble Bee site on the river that was offered years ago to local government for a reduced price.

I continue to hope that we have learned from our mistakes, but when I hear that the best use of our most valuable piece of river front property is condos, I see another lost opportunity for the public to gain. There are so many things that would benefit the town, a civic center, a performing arts complex, and/or a moorage.

Many other things come to mind all with an area of parkland providing true river access so long denied to the citizens of this town. Lets us wisely use our one chance to get it right.

Public safety summit highlights challenges, awareness A meeting was held this weekend in Gold Beach regarding the financial straits in which a number of counties find themselves – including our own.

The “Public Safety Summit,” co-sponsored by the Association of Oregon Counties and the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association, met for various county representatives to weigh in on the brewing public safety dilemmas in counties around the state. Leading the way is Curry and Josephine Counties, although with a jail closure looming in the near future, Columbia County is also on the

razor’s edge.

The summit took place Friday and Saturday at the Curry Sheriff Jeff Dickerson County fairgrounds event complex.

Sheriffs, commissioners and district attorneys from all over the state traded accounts of meager resources and pending layoffs of public safety personnel. Attorney General Ellen Rose-

blum attended the summit and addressed the group, as did Oregon State Police Superintendent Richard Evans and State Sheriff’s Association Past President Jason Myers. General Rosenblum vowed to listen and take the story to the state to advocate on behalf of these counties. Superintendent Evans advised how the state police is at its lowest level in sworn trooper positions in many years, and how the OSP will not be able to fill in for sheriff’s losing patrol positions.

I spoke to the group about our pending jail closure and the planning

we have been doing with criminal justice stakeholders to address how the local system will be impacted with no jail to take most offenders.

As the summit concluded on Saturday, we promised to work together to find solutions to this growing problem in our counties; to listen closely to the concerns and ideas of citizens; and to renew our effort to give awareness in our communities to the problems we face in providing public safety in Oregon.

Jeff Dickerson, Columbia County Sheriff

Military News Emilie Whittaker Navy Seaman Recruit Emilie Whittaker, daughter of Rebecca A. Atanassova, of Eugene, and Brad A. (Maryann) Whittaker of Longview, Wash., recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, in Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Whittaker completed a variety of training which included classroom

study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.

The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes

of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly “Navy’” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

Whittaker is a 2013 graduate of Kelso Senior High School of Kelso, Wash.

Poland’s pin pulls Lions past Broncos St. Helens stays undefeated in NWOC with 48-36 win over Parkrose, follows with third-place finish at Tigard tournament In addition to Poland, the Lions got victories by fall from sophomore Michael Bowen at 132 pounds, freshman Myles Terry at 160 pounds and senior Zilen Nichols at 170 pounds.

St. Helens 48, Parkrose 36 ST. HELENS — St. Helens High School sophomore James Poland took up wrestling for the first time this season. In the 195-pound weight class, he’s usually up against wrestlers with plenty of experience.

Entering a Jan. 23 home meet against Parkrose, he had yet to win a match. After two rounds against Parkrose’s Richard Vong, it looked like he was headed toward another defeat. Poland was outscored in each of the first two rounds, but continued fighting. With about 45 seconds to go in the match, he scored a takedown to tie it at 8-8. It was clear Poland had shifted the momentum in his favor. With both wrestlers on the mat, all Poland needed to do was roll his opponent over once more to earn a near fall and get a victory.

Instead, he pinned Vong with 21 seconds left in the match, making his first high school win a big and very memorable one.

“That 195-pound match was huge,” St. Helens coach J.R. Jackson said during the middle of the following

Lions third in Tigard TIGARD — Junior Cody Jackson and freshmen Tyler Cooper and Myles Terry each won their weight classes at the 2014 Tigard Wrestling Tournament on Jan. 25, leading the St. Helens Lions to a third-place finish at the 10team event.

Cooper won his opening match by forfeit in the 106-pound weight class. He followed that with back-toback pins, one in 39 seconds and the other coming with 45 seconds remaining in the match. He earned a 14-7 decision over Forest Grove’s Lucas Higginbotham in the finals.

SHHS is 4-0 at double dual Tribe opens up ST. HELENS — The St. Helens Lions girls swim team stayed undefeated by winning all but one event in a double dual meet against Putnam and Milwaukie on Jan. 23.

The boys also beat both the Kingsmen and the Mustangs, giving the Lions a perfect 4-0 outing at Eisenschmidt Pool. And they did so by trying plenty of swimmers in events they’d either never competed in or hadn’t for a few years.

Senior Johanna Parkhurst was one of the swimmers in a new event, and her audition in the 500-yard freestyle went well. Parkhurst won the event with a time of 6:29.

As a result, her coach might have to consider shuffling the lineup for the championship portion of the season. “[We] may have to rethink some district events this year. Jojo could be doing some completely different things than she has from the last three years,” said SHHS coach Bill Rash.

Senior Tori Edwards was also taken out of her comfort zone. She fared just fine, winning the individual medley.

Juniors Brook Hopkins and Jackie Prevish each finished first in both of their events. Hopkins won the 200 freestyle with a time of 2:20 and won the backstroke in 1:13. Prevish won the 50 freestyle in 28.02 seconds and won the 100 free in 1:04.

Senior Ashley Stewart added a win in the butterfly.

Parkhurst earned a firstplace finish in the breaststroke against Milwaukie, but was beat out by a halfsecond by Putnam.

A flurry of 3-pointers from senior Lacey Updike and a dozen second-half steals helped the Scappoose Indians (7-7, 1-1) to a comfortable win over the visiting Tillamook Cheesemakers (2-13, 0-2) on Jan. 21.

Early on in the game, the Cheesemakers found a lot of success in the paint. Tillamook took a 15-9 lead in the first half with 12 points coming from its post duo of junior Jamie Kottre and freshman Jordan Zweifel. Those two finished with 37 points, but it was nowhere near enough

for the Cheesemakers. Scappoose handed Tillamook a 64-45 defeat.

The Tribe followed that game with a visit to the home of the reigning leage champions, the Banks Braves (10-5, 2-0). The Indians gave the Braves a battle but ended up dropping a 37-30 contest.

At home, the Indians outscored the Cheesemakers 3819 in the second half. A big reason was they simply didn’t let the ball get to the post.

Scappoose piles up wins from the coast to the gorge by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

The Scappoose High School wrestling team logged a lot of miles over the weekend. Along the way, the Tribe picked up quite a few victories as well.

Scappoose went to Astoria on Jan. 24 for a double dual meet against Seaside and Astoria. The Indians demolished

both opponents, beating the Seagulls 69-6 and handing the Fishermen a 61-10 defeat.

The Indians made their way from the north coast Friday night to the gorge Saturday morning for the Hood River Elks Invitational on Jan. 25. In an 18-team meet full of 5A and 6A opponents, 4A Scappoose took fourth place. Three SHS wrestlers won their weight class at the tournament: sophomore

Braxton Sue, junior Ben Gadbois and senior Isaiah Goodrich.

All three of Sue’s wins in the 106-pound weight class came by decision. He won by scores of 7-1, 10-3 and 6-3 en route to the title.

Gadbois took the same route to a 160-pound championship. He won an 8-1 decision in his opening bout. He followed that with a 3-1 win in the semifinals and beat

South Eugene senior Shane Roach 4-3 in the finals.

Goodrich ended his first two matches quickly. He pinned his first-round opponent in 32 seconds. His second match was even shorter, with Goodrich winning by fall 29 seconds in. He won a 9-1 major decision in the semis and took a 7-2 victory over West Albany’s Brice Hogan in the championship round.

Junior Devin Ray was the runner-up in the 220-pound weight class. He won a 5-3 decision and an 8-0 major decision to reach the finals.

There, West Albany senior Steely Smith topped Ray with a third-round fall.

Senior Taylor Walden finished in fourth place in the 126-pound division. He won his first two matches by fall, then dropped a close 1-0 decision in the semifinals.

In the consolation bracket, he pinned his opponent in 30 seconds. The third-place match in that weight class was not wrestled.

There was little drama at Seaside. Against the Seagulls, the Indians won six of the eight contested bouts by fall.

Seaside forfeited to Scappoose in five weight classes.

St. Helens teams Two close calls for St. Helens win tournaments

Courtesy photo

A seventh-grade girls basketball team from St. Helens recently finished first in a tournament in Clatskanie. The team scored a pair of wins over Clatskanie en route to the title. It was the first time in three years this St. Helens team had defeated Clatskanie.

Members of the team include, from back left, Madi Flores, Sydney Earls, coach Lee Flores, Isabelle Mendoza, McKayla Foster; from middle left, Madi Mercier, Kerstin Jacobs; and from front left, Kaela Lee and Taylor Dow.

Slowly but surely, St. Helens High School coach Billy McKinney sees his team taking strides in the right direction. The Lions (0-12, 0-4) dropped a home game to the Milwaukie Mustangs (5-7, 2-1) 43-37 on Jan. 21, but McKinney saw a few encouraging signs.

“We’re getting there,” McKinney said. “This game helped their confidence.”

It was a similar situation at Wilsonville (4-9, 1-3) on Jan. 24, where the Lions were in the thick of things late before the Wildcats pulled away for a 46-36 win.

Junior guard Rianne Tupper led the team with 12 points against Milwaukie. Senior post Lucy Kyle-Milward scored eight. She was also a presence on the interior, blocking shots here and there, as well as grabbing a handful of rebounds. As a team, the Lions ended up with 34 rebounds.

St. Helens took better care

St. Helens and Wilsonville traded blows throughout the third quarter before Wilsonville put the game away in the fourth.

Nollette and Tupper scored 10 apiece for the Lions. Junior Bella Roth scored six.

The Lions were home on Jan. 28 against the leagueleading Putnam Kingsmen (6-7, 4-0). St. Helens goes to Sandy (7-6, 2-2) on Jan. 31.

A sixth-grade girls boys team from St. Helens has won tournaments on back-to-back weekends. The team went 4-0 in Dallas Jan. 18-19 to win that tournament, winning all four games by double digits. Jan. 25-26, the team won the Great 48 Westview January Jam. St. Helens beat Hillsboro 46-24 in the first game, then beat Wilsonville 45-22. In the final two games, St. Helens beat Tualatin’s B team 49-15 and Tualatin’s A team 46-43.

The St. Helens Lions boys basketball team (2-11, 0-4) dropped both of their Northwest Oregon Conference games last week. The Milwaukie Mustangs (3-10, 2-2) handed the Lions a 56-48 defeat on Jan. 21. The sixthranked Wilsonville Wildcats (11-3, 4-0) took a 50-37 win in St. Helens on Jan. 24.

Against Milwaukie, senior Corey West led the Lions in scoring for the third straight game, finishing with 13 points.

As a team, however, the Lions struggled at the freethrow line in the loss, making 6-of-13 attempts (46 percent).

SeMORE ONLINE nior guard Find photos from Tanner St. Helens’ Long game against was Wilsonville at within reach thechronicleonline.com. of a tripledouble, registering seven points, eight rebounds and eight assists. Senior Devon Jewett scored nine points on three 3-pointers.

West and Long led the team offensively against Wilsonville. They each finished with eight points while senior Gage Bumgardner added six.

St. Helens was held without a field goal until midway through the second quarter when West knocked down a lay-in.

The Wildcats’ relentless defense made the Lions work hard to get open looks at the basket. When the Lions got their shots off inside the 3-point line, they shot the ball effectively. St. Helens made 52 percent of its 2-point field goal attempts. The hard part was getting open looks.

Wilsonville regularly forced St. Helens to work the ball around the court for 20-30 seconds or longer before the Lions could find an open man to shoot.

St. Helens played on the road against the Putnam Kingsmen (1-12, 0-4) on Jan. 28. The Lions host the Sandy Pioneers (12-2, 3-1) at 7:15 p.m. on Jan. 31.

Terry bulldozed his way through the 152-pound bracket with pins in three of his four matches. He pinned his first two opponents in a combined time of 1:53. A 12-1 major decision earned him a spot in the finals, where he pinned West Linn’s Gabriel Alvarado late in the second round.

Freshman Haidon Allen was the runner-up in the 113-pound bracket.

Looking toward spring gardens This has been an interesting winter again. Right now, we are very short of normal winter rainfall. We may pay for this later, but last year, the same conditions allowed gardens and farms to be tilled a month to two months before normal. Many fields and garden plots produced an extra rotational crop last summer. Watch your soils and if they are dry enough to till without damaging them, it may be worth the gamble in at least part of your garden (or farm).

It is time to start some vegetable plants in your greenhouse or cold frame.

Vegetable species are started at different times depending on their tolerance to cool conditions and light frosts.

For example, cabbage family plants are generally tolerant of temperatures down to 28 degrees F once they have gotten to a certain size and have been hardened off.

They can be started now.

I have found that once the seedlings are started, they can be moved outside to a sunny, dry spot in their flats or pots during the day (unless it is less than 40 degrees, warmer for tomatoes and peppers) and brought back in at night. This allows them to adjust to cooler conditions and wind.

garden plots After transplanting, vegetables can be protected by hot caps, floating row covers (a gauzy fabric that traps some heat) or plastic cloches. Cloches add more heat but must be opened and closed to avoid “cooking” the transplants.

Tomatoes and other subtropical vegetables require more care. They cannot stand frosts and need more heat. Peppers are very intolerant of cold soils. Tomatoes are usually started in midMarch for transplant out by mid-May. Peppers should be started two weeks later for early June transplanting.

It helps to preheat the soil before transplanting (or seeding for that matter) by putting clear plastic over the soil. This can raise the soil temperature from 45 degrees to 65-70 degrees in a matter of two or three days.

Scappoose gets a split

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

Scappoose senior Sam Herscovitz finished third in the backstroke last week.

Indians cap 10-day stretch ST. HELENS — The Scappoose Indians completed a grueling 10-day stretch with a home meet on Jan. 21. It was the Tribe’s fourth meet in ten days.

“It was quite the stretch,” said Scappoose coach David Richmond.

The Indians hosted the Rainier Columbians, Banks Braves and Tillamook Cheesemakers for a four-team meet. It was scored as a series of dual meets with each team facing one another.

Scappoose’s girls beat Banks 111-24 and beat Rainier 108-52. Tillamook beat Scappooose 103-65.

Banks did not field a boys team. Scappoose lost to Rainier 104-56 and to Tillamook 113-48.

It was one of the Indian boys, however, that had Scappoose’s only win of the day. With a personal-best time of 1:02, senior Sam Herscovitz won the 100-

yard butterfly. He later finished third in the backstroke with a time of 1:07.

Freshman Dakota Poppenhagen had a pair of topthree finishes in the longdistance events. He was second in the 500 freestyle and third in the 200.

Junior Stefany Alvarez was the top point-scorer for the girls, finishing second in both the individual medley and the 500 freestyle. She swam PRs in both events with times of 2:35 and 6:12.

Junior teammate Baylee Maloney finished third in the 500.

Other third-place finishers for the girls included senior Lindsey Marquardt in the 200-yard freestyle, senior Mary Rotter in the 100 freestyle and sophomore Kayla Miller in the 100 backstroke.

“We have time to breath and recover a little now prior to tapering here in a

This is where the season gets the most exciting,” Richmond said.

“Our kids came out of this stretch well. The last three meets were the best streak of the year. Everyone had personal bests throughout at some point and many tried new events they never have swam and swam well.

We found we have more versatility in the number of events the swimmers can do well and that’s what you want going into the last month of the season.”

Scappoose’s next meet is Jan. 30 at Astoria. It is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

After dropping their Cowapa League opener to the Tillamook Cheesemakers (9-6, 2-0) on Jan. 21, the Scappoose Indians (8-8, 1-1) rebounded with a 5653 overtime win on the road against Banks (7-7, 1-1) on Jan. 24.

Junior Jake Ford helped make sure the game went into overtime rather than end in a Scappoose loss at the end of regulation. With under a minute to play, Ford stole the ball from a Brave in the backcourt and banked in a basket to tie the game.

In OT, senior Mitch Davis took over offensively.

He scored nine points in the extra period and finished with a game-high 19.

Junior Chase Johnson scored 16 for the Tribe.

“Our guys stayed composed and confident throughout the game and when we were down at the end of the game and down in

overtime, we never lost faith in our ability to win and always stayed positive. Kids showed serious determination and resilience,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts.

Tillamook used a hot shooting night to take a 6962 victory in Scappoose.

Davis finished with 18 points and sophomore Brennen McNabb knocked down three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points.

“I was really happy with how we played on offense.

We did a really good job against their zone,” Tufts said.

Scappoose played at Seaside (8-7, 1-1) on Jan. 28 and will be home against Yamhill-Carlton (8-7, 1-1) at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 31.

TRIBE: Updike sinks six 3s From PAGE A13 ness in Tillamook’s offense: the Cheesemaker ball-handlers. After halftime, the Indians exploited that weakness by coming out in an aggressive half-court trap. The trap led to steals, and the steals turned into easy layins.

“More important than we got the turnovers, we actually finished. Sometimes we have trouble finishing. It was a combination: We got the steals and we also got the finish too,” said Scappoose coach David Spirlin.

Senior Abby Kessi played a big part in both creating turnovers and finishing them at the basket. She had seven steals in the second half as the Indians’ defensive intensity gave the Cheesemakers all kinds of problems.

“Everyone was working really hard. I mean, anyone can get the steals because they’re right there. I just covered the middle and worked hard,” Kessi said.

Kessi stuffed the stat sheet, finishing the game with 20 points, eight steals, five rebounds and five assists.

Before Kessi got rolling, it was Updike’s perimeter shooting that kept Scappoose in the game in the first half. She made three of her six 3-pointers in the second quarter and finished with a game-high 24 points.

“Lacey had a great game, she was making like all her 3s,” Kessi said. “Lacey was on fire tonight,” added senior Brittany Catlow.

The Indians also received a second-half spark off the bench from freshman Alyssa Spang. Spang had a pair of steals and finished with eight points.

“We gotta try to protect home. We talked about the second season – league wins – and the second season sets ya up for third season,” Spirlin said. “It was a good win for us.”

It was a full team effort for the Indians against the

Braves. No Scappoose player had more than five points, but nine different Indians scored in the game.

Seniors Haley Wight and Catlow were the leading scorers, each with five.

Scappoose played at No. 4 Seaside (13-2, 2-0) on Jan. 28. The Indians will play at home on Jan. 31 at 7 p.m. against the Yamhill-Carlton Tigers (0-16, 0-2).

Skate Clatskanie man convicted on multiple counts of rape, sex abuse park plans back on track

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — Plans to replace Scappoose’s skate park near city hall ran into some delays that officials are hopeful they have finally resolved.

Earlier this year, Grindline Skateparks based in Seattle was awarded a contract with the city through a competitive bid process with an expected completion date of May 31 for a new 4,900 square foot skate park. In early April the company brought a geotechnical engineering firm hired by Grindline to do borings on the previous skate park site. According to Grindline, that’s when the problems began.

In an email sent by Grindline sales manager Micah Shapiro, the company points to results found by that geotechnical engineering firm as the cause.

“We have been going back and forth with our structural and geotech engineers and based on their investigations we come to the conclusion that it will be better to demo the old park than to pour over it,” said Shapiro.

Grindline said it then began working with its contractors to determine how best to remove the old park.

“Although this has delayed the project, in the long run it will provide for a better skatepark both from a skateability and durability standpoint,” said Shapiro.

Grindline also said the concept submitted with the proposal called for the new park to have the same elements as the existing park but that limitation wouldn’t be necessary with the new design.

“Now that we are starting from scratch we have a lot of flexibility to do a different and better layout,” said Shapiro.

But City Manager Jon Hanken said the decision to scrap the previous plans in See PARK, Page A4

A Clatskanie man arrested in 2011 and charged with multiple counts of rape, sodomy and sex abuse has been convicted on 46 separate counts.

George Nick Lammi, 55, was arrested on June 8, 2011 after a friend arrived at his home at witnessed Lammi abusing a female relative.

The witness then reported Lammi to law enforcement officials.

Lammi’s trial began on May 28 and ended with his conviction on June 3.

“Basically, his daughter would visit him on weekends.

Starting in December of 2010 until 2011, he was raping and sodomizing her,” said Deputy District Attorney George Lammi Jon Berg. “Sex abuse is not often a crime we have a witness to.”

Lammi was initially charged with three counts of first-degree rape, 16 counts of first-degree sodomy, nine counts of first-degree sex abuse and

19 counts of incest.

The jury ultimately found him guilty on all but one count which was dismissed.

“The grand jury indicted him for three counts of rape and 16 counts of sodomy. It ultimately turned out to be 46 counts that he was convicted on,” said Berg. “I’m very thankful for the jury. They did a good job.”

If it seems like an unusually long time between when Lammi was arrested and when his trial began, that’s because it was. Berg said some extenuating circumstances in the case delayed prosecution.

“There were some intervening facts that delayed the trial. The

defense filed I can’t tell you how many motions,” Berg said. “We were just flooded with motions from the defense on mostly discovery issues.

And there were other issues.”

Lammi’s was orginally held at the Columbia County Jail on $800,000 bail which was reduced to $139,000 following a bail reduction hearing.

The trial itself wasn’t without its own difficulties.

“I’ve never had a trial that was attended so well by supporters of the offender. At one point, the jury actually complained because they were disturbing the jury’s ability to

Planning commission resumes rezoning public hearing

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

The Columbia County Planning Commission will continue its public hearing held over from May 20 to review a rezoning application submitted by the Port of St. Helens. The second part of the public hearing will be held on June 17 in the courthouse at 230 Strand.

The Port has requested a comprehensive plan amendment and zone change to expand its Port Westward industrial site by more than 950 acres.

That acreage, which is partially owned by the Port, is currently zoned for agricultural use.

“The Port is seeking to create a framework to attract industrial users,” said Patrick Trapp, executive director for the Port. “Those businesses will provide above average wages.”

Planning manager Glen Higgins

said undeveloped and vacant land already zoned as for industrial use has been identified as wetlands and that the proposed zoning request did not target any wetlands already on the national wetlands inventory.

But opponents to the zoning request say there is no need for additional industrial lands and that the Port already has plenty of industrial-zoned property in its possession.

Scappoose resident Pat Zimmerman, who has been heavily involved in the opposition to that city’s Urban Growth Boundary expansion request, was among dozens speaking against the Port’s rezoning application.

Zimmerman said the Port’s request is based on two statements – that PGE’s leasehold makes the area unavailable and that the entirety of the area inside the Port Westward Industrial Park not currently developed is See PORT, Page A6

Aguirre tapped for role of St. Helens High principal

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Students returning to St. Helens High School next fall will find a familiar face sitting behind the principal’s desk. Assistant Principal BG Aguirre has been named as the school’s new principal, replacing outgoing principal Andy Croley who will be leaving his position in June.

The team selected to replace Croley may not have had to look far to find his replacement, but the interview process was certainly thorough.

“The interview team – comprised of myself, St. Helens High School students, several parents, district staff, and a school board member – deliberated the interviewed candidates and recommended two strong candidates for my final consideration,” said District Superintendent Mark Davalos.

Davalos ultimately selected Aguirre for the position and made

his recommendation to the school board at its May 22 regular meeting.

“BG is already working hard to help close the 2012–2013 year and take the BG Aguirre helm of responsibility she has accepted. I am delighted with our choice and confident for our future,” Davalos added.

Aguirre has been at St. Helens High School for the past five years and is ready for her new role.

“I am honored to be the next principal at St. Helens High School,” she said.

Aguirre attended Oregon State University, graduating in 1998 with a major in sociology and Spanish. She then went on to Concordia University in Portland where she earned her

master’s degree.

“I started teaching in the Beaverton School District and taught there for eight years. I started at the elementary level,” Aguirre said, noting she taught at Vase and Kinnaman elementary schools. “Then I did my administrative program through Beaverton future leaders program.”

She said she got her first administrator position at Newport High School, where she was the assistant principal. She then became the principal at Sam Case Elementary, also in Newport.

Aguirre said her experience teaching and working with students from all levels – from kindergarten through high school – has helped with her role at St. Helens High School.

“It’s an awesome thing… I get the whole K-12 vertical alignment, I know where they need to be when the come here. I think it just helps overall and I know it’s helped me with kids that are struggling,” Agu-

irre said.

Although she won’t officially begin her new position until July 1, Aguirre has been spending time shadowing Croley to learn more about the responsibilities she will be taking on.

“Mr. Croley has been really cool.

He’s been letting me be part of and take part in the decisions that are being made now,” she said. “It’s kind of a transition period right now.”

Aguirre said she has enjoyed having the opportunity to take on new responsibilities. In fact, she’s already looking at her goals for next year.

“With the new graduation requirements for math – needing Algebra I or higher – one thing I’ve already done, last week at the administrators meeting, was fight to have summer school… we will offer summer this summer,” she added. “And we have an online program that’s a proficiency-based program. Students can sign up for one class and complete as many as they need to.”
