Johnson named to Ways and Means, focus will be on budget BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Oregon state Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) has been named co-chair of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development for the 2013 Legislative Session. “Although we continue to face funding challenges, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to put in the hard work listening to Oregonians – concerns and producing a budget that reflects the right

priorities,” said Johnson. “I look forward to discussing plans to get people working again in both rural and urban parts of Oregon.” As co-chair, Johnson will be responsible for overseeing the budget for the Department of Consumer and Business Services, the Business Development Department, the Department of Transportation, the Public Utility Commission, and several others. But Johnson’s role on the subcommittee will likely mean little difference in terms of the work she’s already

In addition to being named co-chairwoman in an announcement from the Senate president’s office, Johnson

was named vice-chair of the full Ways and Means Committee and will also serve on the Ways and Means Subcommittee on General Government, the committee she previously chaired during the 2011 and 2012 sessions. The Ways and Means committee is the state’s only joint committee and includes six subcommittees: human services, education, public safety, natural resources, transportation and economic development, and general government. “I have been on Ways and

Means my entire Legislative career. And since I’ve moved over to the Senate, I have chaired either Economic Development and Transportation or General Government every session. I chaired General Government last time. I’m now going back home and chairing a committee I’ve chaired previously. I know all of the budgets in that portfolio really, really well,” said Johnson.

St. Helens native and owner/operator of Glow Tanning, Niki Fransik.

Local is proud to open new salon BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Now that winter is officially here, many of us will start planning for vacations is warmer climates such as Mexico, Belize, Hawaii, Southern California, Arizona or elsewhere. But before you head into the sun, you might want to think about working on your tan first. Glow Tanning in St. Helens has everything you need to get

ready for that tropic vacation; special occasions like proms, weddings, or high school reunion; or if you just want to get rid of that Pacific Northwest winter complexion. Glow Tanning opened in mid-October and offers a choice of traditional UV tanning beds or UV-free tanning, which is done by hand by owner and operator Niki Fransik. Fransik was last at The Hot Spot where she did spray tans. Glow Tanning also offers clients other services such as waxing and threading (a waxing alternative) and just recently added a fullservice hair stylist. “I want to turn this into a full service salon,” said Fransik. Although tanning had gotten some bad press in the past, new technologies combined with safe tanning practices can actually be beneficial to your health. According to a study completed by the Oslo University Hospital, in Norway, “regular exposure to moderate levels of sunlight promotes good health through the healthy production of vitamin D in the body.” With our limited access to the sun during the winter – as it is in Norway – getting that sunlight can easily be done at a tanning salon instead. Fransik said she has frequently seen clients benefit from the use of tanning beds. “I have quite a few clients with psoriasis and they’ll hop in the tanning bed for a few minutes and it helps clear it up. I also have clients with eczema, and it helps clear that up too,” Fransik said. Fransik said using a tanning bed can also help clear up acne, something her teenage clients find particularly helpful as winter formal and prom season approaches. Of course, all of the beds are thoroughly cleaned after each use to maintain safe and healthy standards. Although Glow Tanning opened during a traditionally low See TAN, Page A3

This is the first of a two-part series recognizing just some of the many people in our community who make living here better for others BY SHARI PHIEL & KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

everal weeks ago we reached out to city and county officials, nonprofit groups, local police and fire agencies, and others across the county asking for nominations of individuals who give of themselves to their community, who go above and beyond the call of duty, and who deserve some special recognition.

In almost every case, the individuals or groups singled out were volunteers. Every year, hundreds of volunteers throughout Columbia County provide countless thousands of hours of service to the community. Without them, many of the services they provide – such as delivering meals to the elderly, helping children with reading

SALLY NORBURN For a long time now, Sally Norburn has been the person behind the welcoming smile that greets visitors to the Columbia County Courthouse, a position she helped create. Norburn says it’s important for people coming in to the courthouse – who are often there under difficult circumstances – to have a friendly face to turn to. Norborn has been volunteering with different agencies in the county since moving here a little more than two decades ago, although she’s been volunteering her time for much longer than that. “It just makes me feel so good,” she said. “It gets me up, it gets me out and I feel like I’m contributing.”

We realize this list is by no means complete and that there are many others that deserve recognition. For all those who volunteer their time, give back to their community, go that extra mile and make life a little better for others, we salute you.

She is most passionate about caring for children. After her own children were grown and gone to college, Norburn and her husband began taking in foster children. She has also worked with the Commission of Children and Families. “Sally has been the face of the Retired Seniors Volunteer Program (RSVP) greeters at the courthouse for years. Sally has worked tirelessly in bringing RSVP members together with opportunities to serve throughout the county,” said Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller. “Most recently she also took on assisting in the coordination of the My Fair Lady Pageant at the Columbia See BEST, Page A3

Theft ring hits local Wal-Mart store Authorities from across northwest Oregon and southwest Washington have turned to the public for help in locating several individuals suspected of committing thefts at area Wal-Mart stores, including the St. Helens store. According to the Woodburn Police Department, the suspects are believed to be working together to steal high priced items such as Apple iPads and computer components. To date, the

One of the suspects police are looking for is 47-year-old Michael Kelso. Also, police have identified two vehicles that may be connected to the thefts: a silver Kia Sephia with Oregon license plate no. 899ETS and a red Ford Explorer with Oregon license plate no. 876CNY. Anyone with information on the thefts, or anyone recognizing the suspect, is asked to call Woodburn police at (503) 982-2345.

While the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office faced extreme financial instability in 2012, Hald strove to improve the county’s marine patrol division, even to the point of making much needed repairs to boats on his own time. Hald also enlisted the help of other sheriff’s office staff to help achieve program goals and managed to spend one to two full shifts per week of active water patrol that increased the number of boater contacts and on-thewater contract hours. “Lt.

BEST: each loves Columbia County TAN: new salon next to Les Schwab From PAGE A1 County Fair, co-sponsored by RSVP and Columbia River PUD.” In fact, Norburn was selected as Queen of the 2009 My Fair Lady pageant for her volunteer efforts. She also received the Governor’s Volunteer Award, which honors some of Oregon’s most respected individuals and organizations for their commitment to voluntary service benefiting the state and its people. “Sally has had to retire recently due to health issues, but she still remains a valuable resource of information to myself and many others,” said Heimuller. Although illness has forced Norburn to curtail her activities to those efforts she can do from home, she is still a driving force. “I don’t want to leave this world knowing I didn’t give back. I don’t want to take, to be a user. I’m a giver and I enjoy it,” Norburn said. “Plus, I don’t have the right to complain about the lack of services if I’m not willing to give something.” LARRY KLICK Some 30 years ago, St. Helens High School’s then-athletic director Gene Strehlou asked the folks in the stands if anyone would be willing to help out on the chain gang at a JV football game. Larry Klick said yes. He has been a fixture at SHHS athletic events ever since. Whether it was manning the chains in those early days or now in his more familiar position of running clocks and keeping score, anyone who has been to a Lions’ home game has surely noticed Klick. “Really, wherever you look at just about any event, you see Larry,” said St. Helens Sports Booster president Tom Halligan. Football is his favorite, according to his partner on the clocks and boards Wayne Rofinot, but Klick helps out at almost all sports: softball, basketball, wrestling, soccer. “I think golf, tennis and swimming are about the only three he hasn’t helped with. He’s done at least something everywhere else,” said current SHHS AD Cyndy Miller. In addition to helping out with nearly all of the different sports, he’s able to do all of the different jobs. “He still amazes me sometimes. He picks up on things pretty quick,” said Rofinot, who has been volunteering alongside Klick since about 2005. “He was really good at teaching me what to do and I’m still learning from him. He knows just about everything about the stuff.” Klick helps out in all of these roles year-round. Despite being offered sandwiches or dinners in return, Miller said, the only thing he’s ever asked for is a Diet Coke and a candy bar – usually a 3 Musketeers. “He doesn’t want anything out of it. He just loves doing it,” said Mindy Sass, who keeps the scorebook alongside Klick during softball games. “He just does it because he has fun watching the kids.” “He would be a hard man to replace. We’re lucky he chose St. Helens to donate his time to,” Miller said. Because of all the time he’s donated, the St. Helens Boosters inducted Klick into their Hall of Fame as a community member in 1996. “He is without a doubt the most active booster member and athletic volunteer that I’ve ever met, anywhere,” Halligan said. “He’s everywhere. It’s almost like he’s a fixture… he’s always there.” COLUMBIA RIVER FIRE & RESCUE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS To become a firefighter with Columbia River Fire & Rescue, you have to complete 120 hours of physically demanding training and testing, participate in weekly drills, pass a medical check and background check, all so you can cover more than 185 square miles and provide assistance to some 27,000 citizens. And you get to do it all for free and for many of the volunteers, that’s in addition to their regular full-time jobs. “You have to be really dedicated to do this job,” said Division Chief Ron Youngberg. “We tell them when they start they now have three priorities in life: their family, their job and this place.” Youngberg said, at times, being a firefighter becomes the top priority. In addition to putting out fires, volunteers are called on to help out with other activities. This includes the fire district’s annual Toy ‘n’ Joy toy drive, which includes helping to wrap presents, preparing food boxes and sorting the bags of toys; and the Fill the Boot annual fundraiser. “These guys don’t go out on every call, but if stuff starts happening, they’re there,” added Youngberg. Unlike paid firefighter staff, volunteer firefighters are required to reside in the fire district. Other requirements for becoming a volunteer firefighter include

being 18 years of age, having a high school diploma or equivalent, have a valid Oregon driver’s license, pass the district’s physical requirements, pass a drug test and background check, which includes criminal history, driving record and homeland security watch lists. But just ask anyone who’s had a fire in their home, had a backyard burn get out of control or seen a wildland fire encroaching on their home and it’s easy to see the tremendous value the more than 35 volunteer firefighters at CRF&R bring to the community. “Our volunteers are really invested in the community,” said Youngberg. Anyone interested in joining their ranks should call volunteer coordinator Jennifer Motherway at 888-301-8626. LINDA CHVAL When Linda Chval joined the South County Chamber of Commerce, she brought with her an unending amount of energy and enthusiasm for helping businesses throughout the county. Following with the Chamber’s mission to promote, advocate, connect and educate, Chval spends much of her time making sure local business owners are tapped in to the resources they need, helping to set up educational programs, working with chamber offices from other areas, and much more. “Linda goes above and beyond her job description representing our community with her wealth of information and friendly demeanor,” said Annette Perrin, board member for the Columbia Humane Society. “She is a shining example of customer service.” Perrin is right, for Chval it’s not just about supporting the local business community. She is also the person who many visitors to our area first encounter. Luckily, she has a wealth of information at the ready. But it’s not just information about the local business community Chval is called on to answer. “I was surprised the first time someone came in and asked me where they can get sand bags,” she said. “People expect the Chamber to have all the answers. They expect an answer, even if it’s ‘I’m here visiting my daughter for two weeks, what do I do?’” Chval takes it all in stride and tells them to head down to the marina for lunch, head to Astoria to drive along the coast and then come back on Highway 26 and stop at Camp 18. “And if I don’t have the answer, by golly I’m going to find it,” she said. Chval also keeps a countywide calendar of activities. New to that calendar this year, and something Chval has helped bring in, is a visit from the Culpepper and Merriweather Circus, which will be in Scappoose on June 1. The last time the circus was in the area was in 2011, when Culpepper and Merriweather was at the Sixth Street Park in St. Helens. “It was a good event… I want everybody to be able to go,” Chval said. ANGIE MERES In addition to a full time job, having a husband and family, Angie Meres has also been a volunteer EMT for the past 11 years. In fact, it was her husband, Scappoose City Councilor Larry Meres, who got her started with the Scappoose Fire District. “My husband came home one day and said they were having an open house at the fire station. So we went down there and started talking to Chief Schull,” she said. Just a few months after she began volunteering, Chief Griesen approached her about becoming an EMT. “He sent me to PCC for the course and here I am. It just worked out,” Meres said. Her dedication to her volunteer work was recognized this past September when she was promoted to lieutenant. “I can’t say enough about the person she is to her community!” said Scappoose Fire spokesperson Ronda Melton. “She works a full-time job and gives quality hours to our district.” In a letter Meres wrote to describe her work as a volunteer to a local church, she said, “As an EMT, I am invited into your home on what may be the worst day of your life or it may be just a bump in the road. You or your loved one may be in cardiac arrest or you may have twisted your ankle. I may be the one who is assigned to administer life-saving oxygen, or record vital statistics, or comfort you, or drive the ambulance… I may be the one who stays behind to let your dogs out. I may be the one who rides in the ambulance with you patching your wounds or taking vital signs or doing CPR… I may be the one who cleans up the ambulance after you have arrived safely at the hospital or changes the batteries in the defibrillator or puts fresh linen on the gurney, always being ready for the next call.” No matter what she’s asked to do, Meres is always ready for that call.

important as several, large transportation projects begin to come through. “Transportation is where there’s a little more action and I’m looking forward to going back to a committee I’ve chaired before,” Johnson said. “I’ll be the ranking member on General Government when I go back,” she added. “General Government takes care of the big agencies like the Department of Administrative Service, Department of Revenue.” The 77th Oregon Legislative Assembly will

convene Jan. 14. Committees will begin meeting for legislative business Feb. 4. As for what the senator will be focusing on during the next legislative round, Johnson said her primary focus will be on creating a balanced budget. “That’s a constitutional duty that the Legislature has. And because that activity occurs in Ways and Means, I will be responsible for helping to deliver a balanced budget.” But, Johnson cautions that creating a balanced budget will present its own challenges. “We aren’t going to have enough money to take care

of everything everybody wants. Budgets are about priorities. It reflects where we want to spend money,” she said. “If you put money towards something then it obviously has a higher priority than if you don’t. I will be listening to what Oregonians prioritize in my deliberations on Ways and Means to deliver a balanced budget.” While the full session doesn’t begin until February, legislators will be back in Salem on Jan. 14 to swearin newly elected officials, elect legislative leaders, adopt rules, organize and appoint committees, and begin introducing bills.

Ready to Read grant awarded to St. Helens Public Library The St. Helens Public Library received a $1,641 Ready to Read grant from the State of Oregon to improve public library services to children. The library will use the money to continue to provide book bundles and summer reading program incentives to the community. Currently, the St. Helens Public Library provides book bundles that contain a board book, library information and early literacy brochures to community partners. These bundles are distributed throughout the St. Helens community to families with children aged birth to two years. Funds from the grant will be used to extend this program, while also purchasing a large portion of the incentive books given to readers who participate in the summer reading program, which begins yearly in June. Starting in March, parents with newborns will also be able to visit the library to collect two free board books for their child’s home library. This service is offered to parents whether they have a library card or not. The Ready to Read grant was established by the Legislature in 1993 to assist local libraries in helping to achieve the Oregon benchmarks for childhood learning and de-

velopment. Libraries may use these funds for the statewide summer reading program for children aged birth to 14 and early literacy services for children aged birth to six years. “We are at a pivotal moment in Oregon history as we move forward in implementing the Governor’s education agenda,” said State Librarian MaryKay Dahlgreen. “The Ready to Read Grant program administered by the Oregon State Library has provided funding for 20

The St. Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO) now provides free assistance to local businesses to create various social media pages and their own website. SHEDCO recommends pages on Google Places, Yelp, and Facebook, along with a website. These can all be created for free, though a website with just a business’ name in the domain will cost $5 and up to host. SHEDCO also provides guidance on maintaining and editing these pages and websites. To kick off the program, SHEDCO will offer a free workshop on the topic on Jan. 15, from 7–8:30 p.m. at the

years so local libraries can work with other organizations to help every Oregon child be ready to start school and retain their reading skills over the summer. Using their Ready to Ready Grant funds, public libraries in Oregon will continue their good work of providing early literacy opportunities and summer reading programs for Oregon’s children.” The impact of the grant program is measured annually by the percentage of

St. Helens Public Library. Only basic internet navigation skills are required. Business owners interested in creating any of these pages or a business website should contact Melissa Serafin at (503) 366-8232. Youth entrepreneurship explored The St. Helens Economic Development Corporation has partnered with St. Helens High School to offer a free youth entrepreneur program that benefits businesses and students. The goal is to provide students with a unique educational experience in entrepreneurship while offering businesses additional assistance.

libraries that adopt the State Library’s best practices in their service to children. Best practices include providing a summer reading program, training for parent and childcare providers in researchbased early literacy curriculums and outreach to children and teens facing barriers getting to the library. For further information regarding the Ready to Read Grant, contact Youth Librarian Nathan Jones at (503) 397-4544.

Students are matched with a local independent business, and are expected to provide assistance according to each business’ individual needs. The business is expected to provide a real-world experience with entrepreneurship and managing a small business. The minimum commitment is 20 hours for one semester. If the business and student agree, this may be extended. Students may enroll in the program in conjunction with a business course or for their senior project. If your business is interested in participating in the program, contact Melissa Serafin at (503) 366-8232.

Guest Editorial

Resourceful marketing for small businesses Advertising can get expensive. During my time in St. Helens, several business owners have told me they don’t even bother anymore. But promoting your business is absolutely essential to reach new customers and remind old ones. So what’s a business with limited resources to do? It’s time for businesses to get creative with their marketing methods. First, if your business doesn’t have a website, a Facebook page, and listings on Google Places and Yelp, they need to become immediate priorities. Our world is changing, and more people search online for businesses than anywhere else. It’s not just young people on these sites either; 55 percent of 45-54 year olds are on Facebook. These are also the cheapest and easiest ways of marketing your business. They offer instant feedback and exposure beyond the St. Helens area, and your competitors are probably already utilizing them. However, if not developed correctly, these outlets may not have any effect on your sales. To start, your website should be informative; consumers only search for busi-

nesses to find information. If you can include advice or a guide related to your business, all the better. For example, if you sell home décor, develop Melissa Serfin a short St. Helens Economic guide on Development Corp. creative ways to decorate a home. Give customers a reason to visit your site. As for social media, users join these sites for interaction. Questions posed to your fans on Facebook will almost always generate more comments than a statement. Hold a contest or offer a discount for the fans who “like” your business. Ask your customers if they’re satisfied with their purchases and respond to each comment, especially the negative ones. Respond to each review posted on Google Places and Yelp. These sites also track information about your fans and visitors, which can help determine where to advertise and who your target market is. These can usually be

found on your account page. Collaborative marketing is another great advertising technique. Companies will often help offset the cost of an ad if their brand is specifically promoted. Vendors do not usually announce that this funding is available, so you will need to directly contact the brand you are interested in promoting. Make sure to keep track of advertising and sales to determine correlations, which could lead to a larger advertising contribution. Local businesses should also work together and actively endorse one another, like the Old Town Merchants Association’s seasonal promotion. The premise is simple: make a purchase at a participating Old Town business, bring in the receipt to a participating Old Town restaurant, and receive 15 percent off your meal. Other examples include several businesses of the same type purchasing an ad promoting the entire industry, or businesses handing out each others’ coupons. Perhaps the most important way to promote your business, particularly in a small town, is to build and strengthen your relationships and to get involved with the

community. Small businesses often have higher prices than big box stores, so personal relationships can go a long way. If you know the owner of a store, you’re much more likely to make an effort to shop there. Take advantage of the existing network of the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce. Customers want to enjoy their shopping experience, so create an inviting and welcoming environment, even if the customer doesn’t purchase anything. Word of mouth is key, and customers

will always tell others about their shopping experiences, whether positive or negative. Teach a free class on a basic topic related to your business; if you own a car repair shop, lead a workshop on how to change the oil in a car. If you’re an accountant, teach one on balancing a check book or how to complete a 1040. This will build goodwill and your reputation within the community and encourage participants (and their friends) to come to you with their future needs. Connect your store or promotion with a commu-

nity event. Give a discount if customers bring in tickets or other proof of attendance. Hold in-store contests. Work with neighboring businesses, the Chamber, or SHEDCO to organize a community event in your area. It’s a lot easier to lure customers inside your store when they’re already in the neighborhood. Whatever your choice, make sure you communicate your plans with other groups and the media. Lastly, take care of your employees. They’re already telling others about their experience at work, so make sure it’s a positive one.

Season’s Greetings Summer may be over but the St. Helens Garden Club is already planning for the upcoming growing season. The group meets the second Thursday of the month at noon in the Columbia River PUD community room, 64001 Columbia River Highway, in Deer Island. The group meets every month except June, July, August and December. For more information, contact garden club president Stan Chiotti by calling (503) 397-0805 or email chiotti1@gmail.com.

FALL The St. Helens Garden Club awarded the Fall Harvest Garden of the Season to Marc and Diane Ebert. An unusual yard of shrubs, bulbs and grasses combined with spring, summer and fall vegetables in raised beds and large tubs arranged dramatically among vines, trees, wooden and metal structures make for a beautiful, as wells as productive, yard. SUMMER The Summer Garden of the Season award went to Vern and Diane Telen of Columbia City, who started landscaping four years ago. This small area is a useful and delightful garden area. It is complete with a garden house with a window, shutters, planter box, garden gate, potting table, garden angel and a large covered sitting area containing garden art, beautiful plants and flowers.

PRISCILLA (F) Priscilla may be my name but being a princess is my game. It’s true, the story you heard that I came from a Shelter in California is true. I’m still kinda new to the adoption kennels, so the staff is still learning about me and what I do and don’t like. I can tell you that I get along well with other dogs. I am a little shy when you first meet me, I’m not always the first one up at the front of the cage to get all the attention, then again, I am a princess. I would like a family to call my own, I would like to either have a back yard to play in everyday or be able to go for walks all the time. Actually both would be great!!!

Lions win five straight entering league BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

With back-to-back wins Dec. 27 and 28, the St. Helens Lions (6-4) enter Northwest Oregon Conference play winners of five straight. The Lions rode the strength of their starting backcourt to both home wins over Christmas break. Head coach Billy McKinney started four guards – senior Jillian Ross, junior Nicole Harcourt and sophomores Michelle Sass and Rianne Tupper – in both games. Those four combined for 86 points in the two wins. St. Helens beat David Douglas (5-5) 46-31 on Dec. 27 and beat Benson (3-5) 58-52 on Dec. 28. Against David Douglas, the Lions used tremendous ball movement to jump out to a big early lead. St. Helens led 18-7 after one quarter. For the game, the Lions assisted on 14 of their 17 made baskets. Ross had five assists and Tupper and Sass each had three. “Our heads were up so we saw a lot more down-court passes. We were running the court a lot better, seeing people better. It was just a lot better. As you can see the score was a lot higher: 18 points in the first quarter,” Ross said after the win. “So moving the ball is something we need to keep doing. “And Rianne played really well tonight.” Making her first varsity start, Tupper scored a team-high 14 points to go along with her three assists and four rebounds. “Man,” McKinney said, “I knew she had it in her. She was nervous [before the game], but we had Jillian and Michelle there to calm her down.” Once she got into the game, any jitters Tupper may have had disappeared immediately. “She was sitting there freaking out,” Ross said. “I’m like ‘Rianne, just relax. All you gotta do is play.’ She hit her first couple buckets and I think she got into the flow.” Tupper and Ross both had 10

points at halftime as the Lions climbed to a 32-15 lead. They extended that margin to 20 points before playing reserves for most of the

fourth quarter. Ross finished with 13 points. Harcourt and Sass had 7 apiece. Junior post Lucy Kyle-Milward did her

part in the middle by pulling down seven rebounds and blocking two shots. “That was a big win for us,”

Lions open tourney with close defeats The Barlow Trail Tournament started with a pair of winnable games for the St. Helens Lions (5-4), but the Lions came out on the wrong side of two close games. St. Helens dropped the first game to the Westview Wildcats (5-3) 40-35 on Dec. 27. That was followed by a 47-44 loss to the Skyview Storm (5-4) of Vancouver, Wash., on Dec. 28. St. Helens came out sluggish against Westview after having an eight-day layoff with no games. The Lions fell behind by nine points in the first quarter, then rallied the rest of the way to make an interesting game of it. St. Helens managed to tie the game at 21-21 late in the

AURORA — The Scappoose Indians won their first six matches in a Dec. 28 dual meet against the North Marion Huskies and finished the afternoon with a 49-21 victory. Scappoose wrestlers were completely dominant in six of their 10 wins, including the first two of the meet. Braxton Sue opened with a 15-0 technical fall in the 106-pound weight division. Kurt Mode followed that with a quick pin at 113 pounds. Those two set the tone for the day immediately. The Indians wouldn’t drop a match until the 145-pound weight class, where the Huskies’ three-time state champion Lucas Randall earned North Marion’s first win. In addition to Mode’s victory, four other Indian wins

McKinney said. The next win wasn’t as easy. Whereas St. Helens led from start-tofinish against David Douglas, Benson was in control for the majority of the game on Dec. 28. But Ross took over in the second half on her way to the most dominating performance in her four years of varsity basketball. The 5’6” point guard finished the game with a double-double – 22 points and 12 rebounds – and plenty of clutch plays in the game’s waning moments. Twenty of her 22 points came after halftime. Ross made nine MORE straight free ONLINE throws in the second half See additional — seven of photos from those comthe Lions’ ing in the latest two final 3:09 to wins at account for thechronicleonthe Lions’ line.com. final seven points. After not holding a lead at all in the second or third quarter, St. Helens grabbed the lead for good midway through the fourth. In those last few minutes, every time Benson closed to within one or two points, Ross stepped to the line and made a pair of free throws. With 18 seconds to play, Ross finally missed a free throw on her final attempt of the contest. It didn't affect the game’s outcome, but did snap her streak of 17 consecutive makes dating back to Dec. 15. She was one of three Lions torching the nets from the perimeter. Ross, Sass and junior Brittney Bartolomucci combined to make 10 3pointers in the game. Sass had four, Ross and Bartolomucci made three apiece. Sass scored 17 points and Bartolomucci – restricted to only two quarters after playing three in the

third quarter. After a technical foul on the St. Helens bench, Westview made both free throws. The Wildcats then hit a 3 just before the third-quarter buzzer to take a five-point lead into the fourth quarter. St. Helens senior Jared Bonney’s bucket with 1:35 to play brought the Lions within two points, but they couldn’t get any closer. Bonney led St. Helens with 14 points and eight rebounds. He was 6-for-6 at the freethrow line. Assistant coach Chris Poorman said Bonney was again scoring the ball well against Skyview when he had to leave See SHHS, Page A12

Six Scappoose High School football players were named to The Oregonian’s 2012 4A all-state team. Senior Paul Revis was named first team all-state on both offense and defense. Senior Matt Blaser was picked to the first team on the offensive line. He was also an honorable mention choice as a defensive lineman. Senior Tyler Schillereff was also picked to the all-state first team. On the second team were seniors Kyle Kramer (WR) and Kenny Bell (DB). Senior Mick Vanek was an honorable mention all-state linebacker. Revis was the team’s primary offensive threat as he had the best season by a receiver in Scappoose High School history. His 90 catches and 1,606 receiving yards are both new school records. He accounted for 35 total touchdowns – 25 receiving, 6 rushing, 2 interception returns and 2 passing TDs. In addition, Revis rushed for 504 yards on 56 carries (9 yards per carry). On defense, Revis had a team-high 84 total tackles. He also intercepted four passes and broke up seven more passes. From his tackle position, Blaser anchored an offensive line that allowed the Indians to rush for nearly 200 yards per game. On the season, Scappoose carried 408 times for 2,169 yards (5.32 yards per carry, 197.19 yards per game). On the other side of the ball, Blaser averaged 5.2 tackles per game as a defensive end and had two sacks. Schillereff racked up eight See TRIBE, Page A12

Gardening resolutions for the New Year Gardens are all about change. Plants that you once loved have grown too big for their space and/or are self-seeding their offspring everywhere. Fruit trees that fail to set fruit (or die on their own) need to be removed. New vegetables come along that demand space where space is limited. What won’t you plant to make way for them? Compost, shovels, sweat, loppers, chain saws, and our energy and imagination will create the 2013 version of our gardens. Garden resolu-

Weekend Fishing Opportunities White sturgeon retention is closed for the year, but remains an option for catch-and-release fishing. Beginning Jan. 1, 2013, the Columbia River and the following tributaries is restricted to barbless hooks when fishing for salmon, steelhead and trout: Northwest Zone • Youngs River from Highway 101 upstream to markers at the confluence with Klaskanine River • Lewis and Clark River from Highway 101 bridge upstream to alternate Highway 101 bridge

• Walluski River from confluence with Youngs River upstream to Highway 202 bridge • Gnat Creek from railroad bridge upstream to Aldrich Point Road • Knappa/Blind Slough select areas Willamette Zone • Willamette River mainstem below Willamette Falls, includes Multnomah Channel and Gilbert River • Lower Clackamas River upstream to Highway 99E Columbia River Fish Counts Salmon, steelhead

garden plots tions should be attainable for greatest satisfaction. So here are some resolutions for you to consider: Weed early and often. Weeds compete directly with our garden plants for light. When you dig a new bed, carefully remove all perennial weeds. This can be done by covering the bed in the fall or winter with a heavy mulch of leaves or compost and black plastic, which you will later remove. Adding more compost and some quarter-ten gravel in perennial beds (the “Joy Creek technique”) will get your new spaces off to a good start. For vegetables, focus your weeding efforts on the first four weeks after you seed or transplant. That will get your vegetables off to a good start. Winter weeding

never hurts either and can reduce the volume of bedstraw and bittercress (“popweed”) in the spring. Grow flowers amongst your vegetables. This will improve predatory insect activity and furnish pollen and nectar for pollinators of all types. Best advice is to plant groups of the same flowers (3-4 feet wide) at scattered locations within your gardening areas. Build a cold frame for spring seed starting and fall and spring vegetable greens. This is a good project for someone with even modest carpentry skills. It might also be a good reason to order your seeds soon. Take better care of tools. That includes keeping the sharp one sharpened and the wooden handles periodically oiled with

JV game – had 11. Sass added to her 17 points by stuffing the stat sheet with five rebounds, four assists and three steals. The five-game winning streak in itself is something for the Lions to be proud of. After all, St. Helens hasn’t won five games in a season since the 2002-03 campaign, when that year’s team finished 6-15. But with 14 games remaining on the schedule, this year’s group is eager to add to its 6-4 start. “I think we have confidence after winning. Because now we’ve won, and we know how it feels, so we just

wanna keep it up and carry it over into league and tomorrow,” Ross said after the win against David Douglas. St. Helens starts the Northwest Oregon Conference season with a home game on Jan. 8 against the Liberty Falcons (2-7). DDHS SHHS

linseed. Running your power equipment a few times in the winter will keep them ready to go. Grow a wider variety of vegetables. Sweet potatoes will grow here. The Demonstration garden at the Fairgrounds just produced 38 pounds of sweet potatoes in 32 square feet. Winter vegetables started by early August can be eaten over the winter months straight from the garden. Figure out the best ways to manage slugs and moles. Slugs are a big problem here and attention must be paid to them in the vegetable garden. As with weeds, focus on them early and often. The slugs that eat our lettuce are not native to North America so feel no guilt. I hate to kill moles but they can be a real pain under the roots of tomatoes, peppers and all manner of shallow-rooted annual plants. Build them out if planning new hard-sided raised beds. Trap them where building them out isn’t practical. Consider becoming a rainfall reporter. Coordinated by the Oregon Climate Service at Oregon State University, the program is part of the national Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network, or CoCoRaHS. This national initiative has volunteers in every state who collect and report precipitation data, providing scientists with important data that supplements that which comes from existing weather stations. CoCoRaHS volunteers must buy a rain gauge for about $27 plus ship-

ping, watch a short training video, and report as frequently as possible the amount of rainfall and snowfall in their area. Interested persons should go to the CoCoRaHS website at http://www.cocorahs.org/ to sign up. Oregon needs more volunteers throughout the state, but especially in eastern and southern Oregon, along the Oregon coast, in the foothills of the Coast Range and Cascades, and in areas just outside of cities that have a bit of elevation change. We have a station behind our office. Call us at the Extension Service for more information. Donate to the food bank. Produce and/or money are greatly appreciated and really needed. Preserve and store more of your own produce and learn

how to cook with it. Learning how to preserve can be fun, creative, and money saving. Teach someone to vegetable garden. Start out with a small plot (10 x 10) with “easy” vegetables. This effort will enrich their diet and both of your lives. Resolve to never forget why you chose to garden in the first place. Have fun, relax, and enjoy the beautiful and calming energy of a living landscape.
