Taking care of business Theater to Nonprofit group ready to support area businesses

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

If you are business owner in Columbia County, you might be surprised to learn there is nearly $200,000 available in the form of grants and loans.

The funding is available through Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon, better known as MESO, which is a nonprofit, 501(c )(3) based in Portland.

According to the organization, it seeks to “improve the economic opportunities of underserved individuals through empowerment, education, and entrepreneurship for the benefit of families in the greater community.”

Just one of the types of funding available through MESO is Individual Development Accounts, which will be the focus of an upcoming information session.

MESO will host an “Access to Capital” orientation on Thursday, Jan. 24, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Oregon State University Extension in the lecture hall.

“We will be discussing Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) which are matched savings programs funded by the federal government and the state, which are designed to encourage savings and asset building,” said Sanford Maddox, executive director of the nonprofit. “To participate your household income cannot be greater than 80 percent of the median income for the local area and your net assets – exclud­­­­ See SUPPORT, Page A4

offer music and comedy performances

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — It’s a weekday night, you’re looking for something to do besides renting a movie or hanging out in a bar. You have If you’re not willing to head to Portland or Longview, that’s doesn’t leave a lot of choices. Bu that’s about to change.

Beginning in late February, the Columbia Theatre in Olde Towne will be offering live entertainment that will include comedy performances and live music.

For the past several months, owner Jim Svoboda has spent countless

hours and about $60,000 renovating the interior of the historic building.

“Our opening act will be Tom Grant,” said project manager and local real estate agent Susie Wilson.

“We are planning to start with live music two nights a month and comedy two nights a month and see how it goes from there.”

To accommodate the live performances, many changes had to be made.

“We built out a stage and we had to buy all new sound equipment. Up in each corner are 6,000-watt speakers worth $8,000 or $9,000 each,” said Svoboda.

Svoboda also installed a state-of-

the-art lighting system to complement the live performances and add a little drama.

Along with getting ready to offer live entertainment, Svoboda is also in the process of getting a liquor license.

Theater patrons will be able to order from a full bar menu, including beer and wine. The concession stand will have additional food choices besides the usual movie-fare offerings.

“This used to be a vaudeville house,” said Svoboda. “In fact, my brother saw Roy Rogers and Trigger on the stage here. So we’re kind of back to vaudeville.” ­­­­ See THEATRE, Page A4

Columbia Theatre owner Jim Svoboda hopes live music and comedy performances will provide a boost to Olde Towne’s redevelopment efforts.

Drug court offers hope for a new life

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

For many, it’s a last chance at life without being behind bars and a last chance for a life without drugs. Columbia River Partnerships for Change operates three drug court programs: adult treatment; juvenile treatment and families restored. All three programs are seeing tremendous success.

“All three programs are voluntary, they can quit at anytime but by completing the program, they are avoiding a possible prison sentence or charges hanging over their head,” said Russell Cross III, program coordinator for the partnership. “By quitting, they take the chance that the prison time, if they have some, could be reinstated.

Everyone that is in the program had to apply to be in here and as long as they qualify, they will be approved, saying that we have enough space for them (we do have a waiting list from time to time).”

According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, illegal drug use has been steadily on the rise for the past decade. In 2011, nearly 9 percent (more than 22.5 million) of all Americans had used an illegal drug or abused a prescribed medication in just the past month. That’s up from 8.2 percent in 2002. The NIDA notes that increase reflects a recent rise in the use of marijuana, the most commonly used illegal drug.

Many of those going through one of the three drug court programs will tell you that not only is marijuana use on the rise in the county, but so is the use of heroin and

methamphetamines. But the drug court programs are helping to win the battle against drug use, at least one person at a time.

What makes the program so successful?

“It’s because they focus on every area of your life. When you go into treatment, they’re pretty much only focused on your drug or alcohol problem, getting you in and out,” said Jennifer Chapman. “With the drug court program I was in for 18 months and it wasn’t just about staying clean and sober. It was turning your life around and becoming a productive member of society.”

“

Chapman completed the adult drug court program more than a year ago.

“I went through other inpatient and outpatient treatment programs,” said Chapman. “Drug court is a lot different… It’s more life changing.”

Participants in each of the programs are required to spend several days each week at the drug court offices (located in the old courthouse) attending counseling sessions, group meetings, parenting classes, teen classes, nutrition classes and more. They’re also required to take random drug test-

ing and go before Judge Steven Reed each week. Those who miss their appointments, or fail to meet the requirements of their probation will quickly find themselves headed back to jail.

“Federally, they have a lot of what they call evidence-based treatment curriculum. So there are groups that focus on specific needs each client may have. CCMH (Columbia Community Mental Health) counselors are trained on how to teach that curriculum,” said program manager Bryan Farrell. ­­­­ See COURT, Page A4

Oregon DMV now accepting deferred action applicants

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Following a directive issued by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano last June, the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles is now accepting driver’s license, instruction permit and identification card applications from Oregon residents approved for the federal “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) program. DMV began accepting the applications on Jan. 16.

DACA applicants must have been issued immigration Form I-766 and must also meet all of Oregon’s requirements for the application.

We were thrilled to hear this news last week, and applaud the DMV and the governor for their roles in finding a workable solution for the DACA youth.”

Amanda Aguilar Shank Rural Organizing Project

This includes proof of identity, age and residence address. Currently, the DMV electronically verifies Social Security numbers and federal immigration documents. Also, applicants

must pass all required tests and pay any related fees.

The state agency had come under fire late last year when it began denying DACA applicants despite a June 15, 2012 memorandum from Napolitano authorizing Homeland Security to grant deferred action to “certain in-

dividuals who had entered the United States illegally as children.”

According to Napolitano, these individuals “do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria will be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings.”

The DACA program allows eligible individuals to apply for and receive deferred action status. Deferred action under the DACA program means the person is not subject to immigration removal proceedings for two years, which may be renewed, and may be granted authorization to ­­­­ See DMV, Page A4

Tax processing delayed The Oregon Department of Revenue announced its tax processing season will get a later start than usual this year, due to late tax law changes made by Congress to resolve the “fiscal cliff” crisis.

The Internal Revenue Service’s 2013 filing season will start Jan. 30, eight days after its originally planned kickoff date of Jan. 22. That’s when the IRS will begin processing individual income tax returns filed electronically and on paper.

Since Oregon can’t start processing electronically filed returns until the IRS opens its electronic filing system, the Oregon Department of Revenue will start its 2013 filing season on the same day, said Theresa Schuh, manager of

Revenue’s Personal Income Tax Program.

“The amount of time it takes us to process each return will be the same. We typically don’t receive very many returns in January, so we should catch up quickly,” Schuh said.

The delay stems from the Jan. 2 enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act. The final law required that the IRS update its forms and instructions, as well as make critical processing system adjustments.

McGettigan to be crowned

Taxpayers can spend the time between now and the start of the tax season preparing their paperwork to help prevent delays in processing their return. Revenue recommends that people: Wait until you have your W2 before filing your tax return. Filing a return without including a copy of your W2 can hamper processing and delay your return.

Find out what your bank routing numbers are, so you can use direct deposit for your refund.

Make sure you have appropriate proof of expenses for all your claimed deductions and credits.

Complete your federal tax return first, since you will need information from it for your state return.

Teri Jo McGettigan, of Warren, will be crowned as the 2013 Tillamook County Rodeo Queen.

McGettigan is a 2010 graduate of Scappoose High School and is currently attending Oregon State University, where she is studying agricultural business management. Her past activities include: Columbia County Fair and Rodeo Flag Team Captain and the 2011 Columbia County Dairy Princess Teri Jo McGettigan Ambassador.

An active volunteer in Columbia County, McGettigan volunteers her time as a 4-H Horse Club co-leader and with Columbia County Dairy Women.

Public hearing scheduled for Sauvie Island landfill The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will hold a Jan. 29 information meeting on the ESCO Landfill solid waste permit renewal. The meeting begins 6:30 p.m. at the Sauvie Island Academy.

DEQ and ESCO will share information and answer questions about the solid waste permit renewal application for the ESCO Landfill on Sauvie Island.

DEQ is seeking feedback before beginning to draft the solid waste renewal permit.

DEQ will request public comment and hold a public hearing on the draft permit.

The ESCO landfill is an industrial waste landfill.

Since 1977, ESCO has disposed non-hazardous solid waste including baghouse dust, foundry sand and steel slag in this landfill.

ESCO has constructed and operated the landfill in four discrete sections referred to as Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4. Areas 1, 2 and most of Area 3 are closed and unlined. ESCO is constructing Area 4, the

Flu vaccine today will reduce risk While the rate of Oregonians reporting flu-like symptoms is on the rise, heralding an early start to the 2012-13 flu season, state health officials say this year’s flu activity level remains moderate across the state, and effective vaccine is available.

Statewide, 2.8 percent of outpatient visits were for flu symptoms, infectious disease experts in the Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division are reporting. Symptoms include fever of more than 100 degrees, plus cough or sore throat. When the percentage tops 1.5 percent of visits, flu season has started.

Looking at Portland tri-county sentinel information, there have been 65 hospitalizations in the metro area attributed to the virus since Oct. 1. Most of the flu has been seasonal type A, which matches this year’s vaccine. The elderly have been hit the hardest so far this year; 46 percent of those hospitalized were 65 and older.

There have been 20 pediatric deaths attributed to the flu this season around the country, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, but none in Oregon. The Public Health Division does not usually track adult flu deaths, except in the case of a pandemic, but it is currently in contact with counties to assess the situation.

“While we are seeing some uptick of flu, particularly H3N2, we are not seeing the rates that other states, particularly those on the East Coast and in the South, are experiencing,” said Richard Leman, M.D., public health physician in the division’s Acute and Communicable Disease Prevention Section. “We can make sure things don’t get worse by taking action now. People can protect themselves and their families by getting vaccinated and washing their hands regularly.”

Oregon’s 2012-13 rate of influenzalike illness hasn’t approached that of 2009’s H1N1 pandemic, which reached about 10 percent of outpatient visits in Oregon, but much of the 2012-2013 season is still to come.

So far, flu vaccine manufacturers have shipped more than 1.1 million doses to Oregon during the 2012-13 flu season. More than 700,000 doses have been administered, according to data reported to Oregon’s ALERT Immunization Information System, but many more have likely been given and not yet reported.

“People can still get their flu vaccination if they haven’t done so already, and we encourage everyone to do so to protect themselves, their friends, family members, and co-workers. It’s not too late,” said Leman. It is estimated that less than half of Oregon’s population has been vaccinated.

The vaccine also is reported to be a good match for the flu viruses that are circulating so far this year: More than 90 percent of viruses tested so far match the vaccine strains.

“This tells us that this year’s vaccine is pretty effective against the majority of virus strains out there,” Leman said.

While there’s no guarantee those who get vaccinated won’t get the flu, they dramatically reduce their risk of get-

ting the flu and spreading it to others if they’ve been immunized.

There are other prevention steps Oregonians can take to reduce the spread of the virus: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your arm when you cough or sneeze, and throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

• Stay home if you become sick.

• Clean work and household surfaces often.

• Wear a mask if you have a weakened immune system.

• Ask your family, friends and health providers to get a flu vaccination.

• Get plenty of sleep.

• Exercise and eat well.

• Manage any chronic conditions.

• Call your doctor to see if you should be seen in the clinic, or if a prescription for anti-viral medication is needed.

OET installs 2013 officers Retiring vice chair Gene Baker installed the Columbia County Chapter of Oregon Equestrian Trails 2013 officers during the group’s January meeting.

Jeramy Lehner will take over from Rory Hammond as chair. Jeremy will preside over the monthly meeting and guide the members in accomplishing the chapter mission of establishing and maintaining trails.

Conley Phelps is the new vice chair, who will fill in as

needed as chair and will arrange for the roster of speakers at the monthly chapter meetings.

Kate Lehner will serve as the new secretary and Rebecca Bleifernich continues as treasurer. Keith Weber has been selected as field services representative. He will schedule work parties and work with Columbia County Parks department and other agencies as needed.

Oregon Equestrian Trails is a statewide organization

that takes the mission to establish and maintain trails very seriously. The Columbia County Chapter has worked extensively with the county parks department in maintenance and development of facilities and trails at Camp Wilkerson Park and the Crown Zellerbach Trail.

OET’s monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at the Moose Lodge on Old Portland Road in Warren.

Meetings begin at 7 p.m.

Oregon has highest rate of vaccine-exempted kindergartners In 2012, Oregon schools had the highest rate of non-medical vaccine exemptions for students of kindergarten age. This past year also saw the highest rates for pertussis (whooping cough) cases in the U. S., for the past 50 years, according to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Washington and Oregon also had higher incident rates than in previous years.

“During the past 10 years, Oregon has doubled in non-medical immunization exemption rates for children, and it’s worrisome that this high exemption rate could increase the incidence of vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and whooping cough,” said pediatrician Jay Rosenbloom, M.D., co-chair of the Oregon Partnership to Immunize Children.

Rosenbloom is a leading voice in the Oregonians for Healthy Children coalition, which recently introduced legislation aiming ultimately to curtail non-medical vaccine exemptions in Oregon’s school-age and daycare-age children.

Senate Bill 132, if successful, will require parents who request a non-medical exemption from immunization requirements to either complete an online educational video or obtain a signed form from their health care provider, in an effort to educate parents about the risk of opting out of immunizations, and about vaccine-preventable diseases and community immunity. Current law requires children enrolled in child care and school to submit a form verifying they have received required vaccines. Parents who choose not to vaccinate

their children currently submit a form stating their exemption.

In 2011, Washington passed similar legislation resulting in a 25 percent decrease in immunization exemptions in that state.

“It’s important to take this action now, as the rate of non-medical exemptions has doubled here in Oregon in the past decade,” said Anne Stone, executive director of the Oregon Pediatric Society, which is convening the effort and gaining support to tighten the state’s current exemption policies.

Stone said recent research from the Oregon Immunization Program found that in 2012 alone, Oregon had more than 800 cases of pertussis, the state’s highest rate since the 1950s.

Added Rosenbloom, “Oregon’s kindergarten non-medical exemption rates are coming in at nearly 6 percent, but in some schools, the exemption rate has exceeded 75 percent. Although, most parents understand the importance of immunizing their children, the exemption rates for non-immunized children are still increasing.”

Rosenbloom said that as state and local outreach over the past several years has increased, it has also shown, “parents will be helped by having more reliable, accurate access to medically-based information about immunizations and vaccine-preventable diseases.”

“Immunizations are an effective way to keep our children, families and communities safe and healthy, and they are the smartest prevention we can employ,” he said.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will host the second of two public information workshops Jan. 23 to discuss its emergency plans to relocate up to 50 Columbian white-tailed deer from the Julia Butler Hanson (JBH) Refuge for Columbian Whitetailed Deer near Cathlamet, Wash., to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge near Ridgefield, Wash.

Columbian white-tailed deer are protected under the federal Endangered Species Act as an endangered species.

The first public workshop was held on Jan. 22 at the Ridgefield Community Center, in Ridgefield, Wash.

The Jan. 23 workshop will be at the Sauvie Island Academy, 14445 NW Charlton Road, on Sauvie Island.

There will be two information sessions, with the first being from 3–5 p.m. and the second from 6–8 p.m.

The emergency translocation of the endangered deer is driven by the erosion and likely failure of the Steamboat Slough dike on the JBH Refuge. The dike, owned and maintained by Wahkiakum County Diking District No. 4, runs along the Columbia River boundary of the JBH refuge. It is eroding and engineers have said it could fail at any time.

A dike breach would inundate the JBH Refuge mainland unit and place the approximately 100 Columbian white-tailed deer on the refuge at extreme risk.

Managers believe that in the event of a breach and subsequent flooding many of these deer will be displaced or die, which would set back recovery efforts significantly.

The proposed emergency

translocation is an attempt to minimize loss of deer and maintain efforts toward recovery under the ESA. The deer that are not moved from JBH would likely seek higher ground on the refuge but there is not enough habitat to support the entire population of 100.

Engineers have said that repairing the failing dike would be expensive and temporary, given the geology of the riverbed at that location.

Construction of a set-back dike by the US Army Corps of Engineers behind the failing dike is being considered but has not been approved by the Diking District or Wahkiakum County. Construction of this setback dike would also not be completed in time to prevent a potential dike breach this winter.

Columbian white-tailed deer are unique to western Washington and Oregon.

Ridgefield NWR is within their historical range and contains suitable habitat. As part of the emergency effort, the Service has developed a Draft Environmental Assessment, which can be found on the

COURT: there are currently about 35 in the program

THEATRE: live acts about $10

Some of those needs may be simple, such as filling out a job application, writing up a resume or even completing the requirements for a GED. For others, help is more complicated.

“A lot of it is education; getting to know what the drugs do to you. And a lot of it is criminal thinking. So they focus on how to change their criminal thinking,” said Farrell.

Combined, there are currently about 35 individuals going through the drug court programs. While applicants must be referred to the program through the Department of Human Services, CCMH, district attorney’s office or a circuit court judge, the programs are voluntary and not courtordered.

If you had asked longtime St. Helens resident Chris McCoy a year ago if he would now be living his life clean and sober, he would have laughed.

But after using and selling methamphetamines for nearly two decades, McCoy said he finally reached the point he was ready for a change.

Svoboda hopes the changes he’s made to the theater will help continue the Olde Towne revitalization efforts being made by groups like the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation.

“Hopefully this will provide the community with something it needs and help the theater compete better,” he said.

Despite all the changes, that doesn’t mean the Columbia Theatre won’t be offering the type of entertainment it is known best for – movies. Svoboda plans to continue offer firstand second-run movies, a summer matinee program for kids, and maybe even a discounted movie night.

lost my two-year-old,” McCoy said.

With another jail sentence hanging over his head, McCoy said he realized he needed help.

“Drug court just changed my life,” he said. “They’re really good people.”

It’s now been seven months since McCoy entered the program and his life has definitely taken a turn for the better.

McCoy said he no longer worries about being pulled over by the police or being on the run. He works at his own business on a regular basis, has started a crystal meth support group at CCMH and is even looking forward to bringing his son home within the next few months.

McCoy realizes the program isn’t for everyone and that you have to be ready to change your life – completely.

“You have to be open, honest and willing or it isn’t going to work,” said McCoy. “It’s not easy but what’s 18 months [in exchange] for the rest of your life?”

Like others in the program, Keila Lavoie had a long history of drug use and arrests. She had also lost her children to the Depart-

ment of Human Services.

“I started using drugs when I was 12 or 13,” said Lavoie. “I was 16 when I started using meth.”

Many of those in the drug court programs believe the use of illegal drugs in Columbia County, especially in St. Helens, is much greater and far more widespread than most realize.

Estimates range as high as 75 percent.

“There’s really not much to do in this town. Because it’s so prevalent, there are a lot of kids that just grow up with that lifestyle and they just don’t know any different,” said Lavoie. “That’s something I don’t want for my kids.”

Lavoie has been in the families restored drug court program, a multi-disciplinary program divided into five phases, for nearly five months.

“I’m in a fish bowl. They know my every move, they know where I go, what I do, who I’m with. They know everything,” Lavoie said.

But she also knows that close supervision helps keep her, and others in the programs, clean and sober.

Now that she has two of her daughters back at home, staying clean and sober is her primary focus.

From PAGE A1

Lavoie said the length of the program is also a key to its success.

“They work with you.

They don’t enable you but they give you the tools and resources you need,” she said.

“They do genuinely care,” said Chapman of the drug court staff. “They come back to us for feedback on how to make things better. It breaks their hearts when someone doesn’t succeed.”

Chapman is now sharing her success and experience in the drug court programs to help others. She has her daughter back living with her and works with CCMH as an addiction recovery peer mentor.

“I’ve become a success story and a productive member of society. It makes my whole past come full circle,” Chapman said.

A non-profit 501(c)3,the Columbia County drug court programs run entirely on donations and grants and recently kicked off its annual fundraising drive.

This year, the group is selling See’s Candies. For more information about the program or about making a donation, contact Farrell or Russell Cross at (503) 397-2327.

work in the United States legally. If approved, a person is issued an immigration document Form I-766 (Employment Authorization) or Form I-797 (Notice of Action) by the U.S. Custom and Immigration Service.

In areas like Columbia County, where many people commute to Portland or Longview for work, having a driver’s license is critical.

“We were thrilled to hear this news last week, and applaud the DMV and the governor for their roles in finding a workable solution for the DACA youth,” said Amanda Aguilar Shank, of Scappoose-based Rural Organizing Project. “When the federal government granted relief to these youth, then the state started denying drivers licenses, it sent a mixed message to them, essentially saying, ‘you can stay, you can work, but you can’t drive.’

This puts youth into a difficult position – especially in rural areas where public transportation is weak or nonexistent.”

Aguilar Shank went on to say these you want to

diate family,” said Maddox.

“The basic requirement, other than the financial, is that you be able to save at least $85 a month; you attend a financial awareness training session and complete a business plan and MESO does offer business plan training.”

Maddox notes that MESO’s loans are through the U.S. Small Business Administration. As an intermediary lender, it can make loans up to $50,000 depending on the borrower meeting certain underwriting criteria.

“We have done about four loans and have about nine individuals participating in the IDA program,” he said.

Heather Clark, owner of Alterations by Heather, turned to MESO when she was ready to grow her busi-

ing your main residence and a car – can not exceed $20,000.”

That means you can live in a mansion and drive a Mercedes and that will be excluded – but everything else cannot exceed $20,000.

Under the IDA program, there are three levels of savings: (a) save $1,000 over six months matched with $3,000 for a total of $4,000; (b) save $2,000 over 13 months matched with $6,000 for a total of $8,000; or (c) save $3,000 over 25 months and have it matched with $9,000 for a total of $12,000.

“Funds can be used for most any legitimate business purpose as well as for education for anyone in the imme-

ness. Instead of an IDA, which is included in the grant program, Clark opted instead for a small business loan.

“I haven’t gone through the grant process with them yet but I know several people who have,” said Clark. “But it is absolutely something I want to look in to.”

Based on her own experiences with MESO’s loan program, Clark said she would absolutely recommend the nonprofit group to other businesses.

“You have to put in the hard work, but the return is there,” she said. “The loan process was very easy to go through. But they are very careful about extending money to people who don’t have a good business. But they help you develop your

His father purchased the building in 1963 The seats, in classic Hollywood red, came from the Lloyd Center and a Universal Studios executive screening room. More than two dozen speakers and a digital sound system were installed to make every seat the best seat in the house.

“Every seat in the house gets the same sound,” said Svoboda. “There’s not a bad seat in the house.”

business plan, they help you develop all aspects of your business so it’s stable.”

Although MESO has been around since 2005, their efforts – until recently – have been focused primarily on the Portland metro area.

But Clark said MESO came to her when it was time to expand her business.

“They came to me. They didn’t make me work around their schedule, they made theirs work around me. Sanford even came to my store.

And now he’s a customer, too, and he supports my business,” said Clark.

participate in society.

“They want to contribute – and it is in all of our interests that they have the tools they need to do that. In rural Oregon, a driver’s license is one of those tools,” she said.

But the decision to grant licenses, learner’s permit or ID cards to the 17,000 youth in Oregon that qualify for DACA is only the beginning.

“Behind them are their mothers, fathers and older siblings who do not meet the narrow requirements to get temporary status under DACA and a driver’s license. The larger question here is how are we going to find a solution for the other 120,000 undocumented immigrants in Oregon who are living in limbo,” Aguilar Shank said.

DMV will accept a valid immigration Form I-766 as proof of lawful presence in the U.S., and the Oregon driver license or ID card’s expiration date will match the expiration date on the person’s Form I-766.

The Chronicle

Letters Don’t be fooled Concerned citizens throughout the Northwest have heard mixed messages about coal exports since the proposals were first announced. Some fringe groups have used scare tactics and misinformation in an attempt to derail the projects.

I encourage you to evaluate each of these projects and decide for yourself based on the facts. Let’s take a look at what we know is true.

First, Asia will not stop burning coal any time soon.

If Powder River Basin (from Wyoming and Montana) coal is not shipped to Asia from the Northwest, it will be shipped from Louisiana and Texas.

Second, new technologies in the transportation of coal have virtually eliminated coal dust from trains and barges.

Third, tax contributions would help fund our schools and other public services.

Lastly, our region is facing very high unemployment.

These projects would create thousands of much needed family wage jobs in our communities.

Don’t be fooled by scare tactics. The facts paint a clear picture of what coal export projects will mean for the Northwest: good jobs and strong communities.

Jodi Guetzloe Parker, Columbia Pacific Building and Construction Trades Council Standing up Thank you, Sheriff Dickerson. Finally, we have an elected official that is not afraid to stand up for the people’s constitutional rights!

Fred Yauney, Scappoose Idol hands I’ve been looking over what once was. I’m wondering why we’ve let what once was go. What would it take to build new into the old?

Take a long, good look at where St. Helens lies on this old Columbia River.

In the past there was a paper mill, three saw mills, creosote pole plant, a plywood plant and a working dock.

I’ve been looking across the river at a small town that never gave up, Kalama. The

Speedbump

port has taken on yet another silo, building again more for its business community. So I ask you, why can’t St. Helens have its past by sharing the new, maybe some work on the river?

This river, as in the past, could build an interest for shopping locally. St. Helens, as the county seat, has a responsibility to leadership by setting an example toward the new. The need to update the old in down “towns” throughout our county has been set aside. I am seeing the same as the abandonment of the gold or oil boom towns, we call the ghost towns of past.

I took time to discover our downtown area. Besides the county courthouse, there is the St. Helens City Hall. Also, I discovered a wide variety of imaginary, those specialty stores. Find restaurants, and some with drink. The show theater, boat moorage, hair salon, even wall climbing, title company, a much needed computer repair, insurance company, fireworks for the Fourth of July. This and setting up music, “13 Nights on the River.”

I just hope I didn’t miss someone in my quest looking for the new that is there. Oh yes, there is the island too and the Pirates.

It always seems there’s a need to measure so much by the dollar amount. But this is why we move forward so we can grow reaching for the stars.

This got me wondering what could invite more decent public family entertainment for us all. The knowledge of entertainment can help public spirit for those in an economy of our time.

But our community needs all to help not just a few, a few can’t do it all. I keep thinking of the saying: idol hands are the devil’s playground.

There also could be an outdoor, uptown amphitheater in between St. Helens Street and Columbia Boulevard. With seating facing east having the sun shining in doing double purpose, on the performers as a spotlight while warming their backs.

Parking wouldn’t be much of problem by having on-street parking. If need be, close off one lane of traffic, this way cars could still pass. A downside is the need to build

public restrooms. So what do you think, could this be a guess-so, or not?

Dean Ebert, St. Helens Good for one, good for all City leaders, I would like to know why you want all trailers off the city streets but yet allow trailers that haul vehicles and boats still there.

Isn’t what’s good for one should be good for all? There have been a lot I have seen that have been sitting on the street with flat tires, and not used for a long time. I would like to know if there is something on the books banning them like you did the trailers.

If so, maybe we should get someone to help with code enforcement.

Linda Ginther, St. Helens Intervention “Take up the White Man’s Burden,” was the command of Rudyard Kipling back in the 1800s, and this proud declaration of his pretty well summed up the attitude of both European and American colonialists of that time.

White folks, armed to the teeth with both guns and self-righteousness, would put the globe’s savage corners to rights. Kipling’s words managed to encapsulate rather perfectly the spirit that placed enormous stretches of what we now call the Third World under the control of European colonialism.

So-called Western and Christian civilization would uplift these hordes of heathens, and the end result would be marvelous indeed.

We know, of course, that things turned out rather differently.

This may be the year 2013, but France’s intervention in the Republic of Mali seems almost like something out of the 1880s or 1890s.

Paris and its Western partners certainly are right to want to stamp out al-Qaida’s terrorist nests in that country, but at the same time we have to wonder if there are additional motives behind this particular military campaign. Is the French-led incursion into Mali purely about “anti-terrorism,” or can we safely assume that

bottom-line concerns of business people were also a factor in the decision to send in troops?

The French have a long history of propping-up African despotisms perceived as friendly to French (and other Western) interests.

Is this latest Malian intervention simply a large-scale repeat of what Paris has done so many times before in Africa?

Frank Goheen, Camas, Wash.

Still honest people This is an open letter of thanks to one of your community’s citizens: Travis Armstrong, of Armstrong Trucking. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, I was at the Texas welcome center on Interstate 20 and the Louisiana border. I left my iPad on the bedrail of my truck and drove off, forgetting it.

One hour later I discovered that I had lost it and remembered what I had

done. I called the welcome center and they searched but did not find it. I was thinking, “How stupid of me.”

On the day before New Year’s, I received a call from Travis inquiring if I had lost an iPad. “Yes,Yes and Yes!” Travis informed me that he had picked it up where I lost it. He and his wife had been on the road since finding it and had just gotten home. They took measures to find me, and returned it to me.

This is a testimony to the fact that there are still honest people in this world. Would someone please see that a copy of this letter finds its way to Travis Armstrong and his wife.

P.S. I did reward Travis for his efforts.

Jim Roberts Gilmer, Texas American father Iran is testing American resolve using the life of a young American. According

to published reports including the Huffington Post (Jan. 10) and the American Center for Law and Justice, Rev. Saeed Abedini, 32, was setting up an orphanage in his native Iran intending to meet with government officials.

Upon last returning he was arrested, beaten and charged with a catch all, “Acting against the security of Iran.”

This is nothing more then a probe by the Mullahs testing American resolve. He is a citizen of America and deserves nothing less then our immediate demand for his release. Anything less tells Iran they are in the driver’s seat and have little to worry about except the discomfort of the new sanctions.

Saeed Abedini is more than a bargaining chip. He is an American father.

Outrageous.

The President should demand his release immediately.

Wayne Mayo, Scappoose

It’s still important to stay between the lines From the Columbia County Traffic and Safety Commission

As children we were taught that it was important to “Stay within the lines.” That is a basic principle adult drivers have apparently forgotten.

Traffic safety engineers design roads to be safe for everyone, and as part of that design, vari-

ous types of lines are painted on the roadways to separate bicycles, pedestrians, and other vehicles from each other. They are various colors, widths, continuous, and even broken.

All these lines have meanings for drivers.

Broad, solid white lines are similar to concrete barricades and are meant to separate lanes and not to be crossed.

These include lines such as bike lanes, lanes marking transitions such as coming off the 405 at the Fremont Bridge, in certain construction zones, and crosswalks.

The very wide white lines at intersections are stop lines.

Drivers should not stop beyond the leading edge of that line. These stop lines help to keep vehicles back from the

crossing lane of traffic and also large vehicles that are turning to do so safely.

Narrow white and yellow lines on highways and streets are traffic separators. If the lines are solid, drivers are not to cross them. If the lines are broken and in your lane, passing is allowed with proper visible clearance.

Broken lines at intersec-

the left turn lane of Highway 30 to merge. Rather they should wait for traffic to clear and then enter the flow of traffic in the closest travel lane.

Yes, this may be difficult, but it is much safer.

As drivers, please stay within the lines. It was a good rule of thumb as children, and should be for adult drivers as well.

CASTROPHONY (F) I was brought to the Columbia Humane Society back in February 2010, because my owner lost her home and wasn’t able to keep us. I became very stressed from being kenneled up. I was also was very unhappy about being in the same room with a bunch of cats I didn’t know. CHS staff decided that I need a break from a shelter environment so I was living in foster care for a month. I was doing much better in foster care. My foster mom says that I was a totally different cat outside the shelter. I did not scratch or bite my foster mom, even though I will give you a piece of my mind if I’m unhappy about something. I’m not really a lap cat, but I do enjoy being near people and enjoy attention; I will repay your kindness with a happy and grateful purr. I have good litter box manners and I’m not scratching furniture – I’m using my scratching post. All I need now is a special someone who will welcome me into their heart and home.

The Chronicle

Wine-Down Downtown walk-through Weekly Meetings The second Wine-Down Downtown will be held on Feb. 16. Start at any of the four participating businesses: Houlton Bakery, Bella Maison, ReWork ReStore ReSale, Scandalous Hair Design. At each of these businesses, there will be a check-in table. Either pay for a ticket or turn in your pre-bought ticket, get your wristband, wine glass and map with all locations participating in the walk and head out for the walk through.

Participants will walk to two or three businesses consecutively. All of the businesses will be next to each other or have a small walk between them. At the last stop, a trolley will pick up the participants and take them to the next set of two to four businesses. This will continue four times, and the customer will be taken to a total of more than 10 businesses. Ticket holders are free to hop on and off the trolley as they choose. Everyone will end up back at the business where they originally parked their car.

The first Wine-Down Downtown was held on Dec. 7. Oregon State student and local resident Abigail Dahl is organizing the events. Dahl said her OSU team, Enactus, was recently awarded the Wal-Mart Women’s Economic Empowerment Project Partnership grant and the Sam’s Club Step Up For Small Business

grant, totaling $3,000.

“After obtaining the grants, we did a needs assessment on some small businesses in town and picked four businesses to work with one-on-one,” said Dahl. “I have a team that will be coming to Columbia County soon to meet with them and determine what they need most for their business.”

Dahl said the events are intended to help the community as a whole.

“Being from St. Helens myself, I know that help is needed,” she said. “I have an emotional tie to the businesses growing up with them, so I would like to give back in any way that I can.”

According to Dahl, the first WineDown Downtown had a strong turnout of about 60 people and she’s hoping to see that number grow.

The businesses participating in the Feb. 16 event include: Houlton Bakery; Alterations by Heather; Belleza Day Spa; Bella Maison; Miyako; Harrington’s; ReWork ReStore ReSale; Granary Girls; Vinnie’s Chicago Sandwich Shop; Scandalous Hair Design; Dockside Steak and Pasta and the Klondike restaurant.

Tickets can be purchased at any of the participating businesses and are $25 per person. The ticket includes a wine glass, wine samplings, appetizers and

Official AHERA Notice

In 1986, congress passed the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). That law required all schools, kindergarten through twelfth grade, to be inspected to identify any asbestoscontaining building materials.

The law further required the development of a Management Plan, based upon the findings of the inspection, which outlines our intention controlling the potential for exposure to asbestos fiber in our schools.

The inspection in our school district was completed as required and some asbestoscontaining materials were identified in our buildings. The materials are distributed in various locations and include floor tile, pipe insulations and mechanical areas not

Public Notices

readily accessible to building occupants or students.

The Management Plan outlines in detail the methods used to maintain the materials in a safe manner. It also includes records of six month periodic surveillance inspections, three year re-inspection, and records of all abatement projects that have been completed.

The six-month periodic surveillance inspections are conducted by District personnel in June and December of each year. The threeyear re-inspection is conducted by a certified inspector. A copy of the Management Plan and a list of prior yearʼs completed abatement projects are available for review at the School District Maintenance Office at 301 St. Helens Street, St. Helens, OR. Copies of individual building inspection reports are on file at each schoolʼs administration office. If you have other questions regarding these AHERA plans, please contact the School District Office at (503) 397-3085.

Access to Student Information

By Military or College Recruiters

Our District receives funds from the federal government under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. These funds are used in a variety of ways to provide additional help to students in greatest academic need. The law also requires that districts receiving these funds must, upon request, provide to military recruiters, colleges and universities, access to the names, addresses and telephone listings of secondary students.

It is important for you to know that a secondary school student or his/her parent or guardian may request that the studentʼs name, address, and telephone number not be released by the district without prior written parental consent. If you would like to make such a request, please contact your childʼs guidance counselor.

Education Rights Of Homeless Children and Youth

The School District is actively seeking to enroll children and youth who are homeless. If you are homeless or know a child or youth who are homeless. If you are homeless or know of a child or youth that is homeless and not attending school, please contact the following person who will provide information and assistance during the enrollment process: Local Liaison: Lisa Rawlings Address: 474 N. 16th Street St. Helens, OR 97051 Telephone: 503-397-3085

*Who is considered “homeless”? Any child or youth not attending school who lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence is considered homeless and includes those who are sharing housing with others due to loss of housing or economic hardship. It also includes children and youth who are living in hotels, camping grounds, emergency shelters, cars, bus or train stations, or other similar settings. If you are not sure, please call. *What are the education rights of homeless children and youth? Our schools provide equal and comparable access to all students regardless of their home living situation.

enrollment in school and, when desired or feasible, at the “school of origin.” b. Prompt provision of necessary services such as transportation and meal programs. c. Appropriate support services and programs for which they are eligible such as programs for gifted, children with disabilities, vocational education, preschool. d. Academic assistance through the districtʼs federally funded Title I program. e. Parent or guardian involvement in school activities.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Annual Notice Of Student Education Record Policy

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. The law applies to all schools that receive federal funds.

FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their childʼs education records.

When a student reaches the age of 18 or attends a postsecondary school or college, the parentʼs rights transfer to the student and the student is then an “eligible student” under the law.

Under FERPA, parents and eligible students have the following rights:

1) To inspect and review the studentʼs education records maintained by the school within 45 days of the schools receipt of a written request. The request should identify the record(s) being inspected. The school is not required to provide copies of records and may charge a fee if copies are requested.

2) To request that a school correct records believed to be inaccurate or misleading. The request must be in writing and clearly specify: (a) the part of the record requesting to be changed, and (b) why it is inaccurate or misleading.

IF the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to a hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement in the record about the contested information.

The school is not required to consider requests for grade or disciplinary decisions, opinions of school officials in the education record, or the childʼs special education determination.

3) to control the disclosure of their childʼs personally identifiable information from their education record. Parents may request that the school, with certain exceptions, obtain their written consent prior to the disclosure of student information.

An exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school staff with legitimate educational interests, such as a person employed by the district; a person serving on the school

999

Public Notices

board; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a grievance or disciplinary committee or assisting another school official; and/or an official of another school district in which a student seeks to enroll. A school official has a legitimate education interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill a professional responsibility.

If you have questions concerning student records, please call your childʼs principal.

Tribe toughs its way to fourth place

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

With eight dual matches last week, the Scappoose Indians showed they are a tough team to tangle with on the mats. The Indians went 5-3 in those matches, with wins as lopsided as 78-0.

Scappoose wrestlers also showed physical toughness in other ways. Take Ryan Bond, for example. While wrestling Joe Hisatake of Madras at the Oregon Wrestling Classic on Jan. 18, the Scappoose senior

suffered a nasty injury, but pinned Hisatake anyway.

“Ryan Bond had a tooth nearly go through his cheek, ended up finishing the match by pinning his opponent, went to the hospital where he received five stitches, and then finished out the tournament,” said Scappoose coach Jim Jones. “Talk about tough.”

The Tribe finished fourth out of 16 of the top 4A schools in Oregon in what Jones described as “the unofficial dual meet state championships.”

Scappoose lost three of its six duals – all to teams ranked

in the top five in the state.

After winning the first two pool matches against Philomath and Madras by a combined score of 132-12, Scappoose dropped a 48-33 contest to No. 2 Henley.

The tenth-ranked Indians responded with a decisive 5812 win over the eighth-ranked North Marion Huskies.

No. 3 Sweet Home beat Scappoose in the semifinals, 52-19. In the third-place match, Scappoose came up short against Cowapa League

Scappoose senior Michael Lohman pinned Astoria’s Tristen Holiday in the second round of their Jan. 16 match.

Teams in top 12 test St. Helens The schedule-makers pitted the St. Helens Lions (7-7, 1-3) against two teams ranked in the OSAA’s top 12 last week: the No. 12 Milwaukie Mustangs (8-5, 4-0) on Jan. 15 and the No. 8 Wilsonville Wildcats (104, 2-2) on Jan. 18.

The Lions came up emptyhanded in both games, dropping a 71-56 contest to the Mustangs and a 45-34 defensive struggle to the Wildcats.

St. Helens played on par with Milwaukie for three quarters. But in the third quarter, Milwaukie showed why several coaches around the league think the Mustangs are the team to beat this season.

Thanks in part to 7 points and five rebounds in the first half from senior Nathan Hunter, the Lions trailed only 26-24 at halftime. Then Milwaukie caught fire from the field and forced St. Helens into several turnovers using increased defensive pressure.

COLLIN HAAHR: THE MAN BEHIND THE MIC

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens senior Jared Bonney fends off a defender with one hand while attempting a shot against Milwaukie on Jan. 15.

e hasn’t scored a point.

He doesn’t have an assist.

He never boxes out.

But his presence in the Scappoose High School gym hardly goes unnoticed by the fans.

Collin Haahr wanted to be involved with the basketball team in some way last season. He approached head coach Rahim Tufts to see if there was a way he could become a part of the program.

Tufts initially planned on tasking Haahr with keeping the scorebook for the team.

“I said, ‘Well do you have an official announcer?’ He said not really, so I said, ‘Well maybe I could try it out,’” Haahr explained.

Ever since, he has become the voice of the Indians – the rare student who takes on a role typically reserved for adult volunteers.

He’s proven to be a natural and his skills have been requested for announcing duties in other sports now too.

After some jitters early on, Haahr has grabbed the mic by the cord and ran with the experience.

“I was really nervous the first game, but I was able to get a handle of it,” Haahr said.

He’s become more than comfortable behind the microphone, welcoming fans to every varsity home game with his introductory “All right, all right, all right.”

He has interjected his own brand of humor.

He’s successfully navigated the potentially stuttery slope of announcing a roster of Japanese wrestlers.

And, of course, he’s doled out nicknames to just about every SHS basketball player, male or female.

That’s perhaps what makes listening to an Indian hoops game unique from the other prep games across the state: When the players are introduced, their names are always accompanied with something extra. Some of the nicknames are ones kids have had for a while – like Sam “Birdman” Padgett – and others have been made up by Haahr or the players themselves.

“Like junior Haley Wight, on the girls team,” Haahr said, “I thought Wight Lightning. So now her and all the girls love it. Some I think of, some they think of.”

Zeus, the moniker for point

“

HE BRINGS A GREAT ENERGY TO THE GAME

”

– Rahim Tufts Scappoose High School boys basketball coach

guard Zach Smith, for example, was created by Smith himself.

“It’s pretty smart when I think about it,” Haahr said.

It might seem like other teams or coaches would get tired of hearing nicknames for the home team all game long, but Tufts said that’s not the case.

“Other coaches like it, the fans like it. They’re like, ‘Man, who’s your announcer? That’s awesome.’

He brings a great energy to the game,” Tufts said.

At times early in his career, that energy spilled over a little too much.

Even though he hasn’t played competitively since breaking his leg in the first game of his eighth-grade season, Haahr admits to devoting a lot of time to basketball — whether reading about it or watching games See HAAHR, Page A13

The Scappoose Indians (7-8, 2-0) started Cowapa League play with wins in their first two games last week. The Indians beat the Tillamook Cheesemakers (4-9, 1-1) 58-49 on Jan. 15, thanks largely to seniors Zach Smith and Chris Tinning.

Scappoose then played lockdown defense in the second half against the Banks Braves (3-11, 0-2) on Jan. 18 to earn a 63-38 home victory.

Tinning knocked down three 3pointers in the third quarter against Tillamook as Scappoose turned a 1point deficit into a 43-33 lead in the period. Tinning scored 11 points in the quarter and finished with 17.

While Tinning was getting it done from the outside, Smith was able to get into the paint for easy shots seemingly at will. He scored a game-high 28 points on 10 field goals and 8-of10 free-throw shooting.

Against Banks, Scappoose trailed by three at halftime, 28-25. In the second half, the Indians went to a 2-3 zone to keep the Braves from getting the ball to the high post.

It worked.

Scappoose held Banks to 1 point in the third quarter and outscored the visiting Braves 38-10 in the second half.

“Our guys got after it. Even in the zone we were pressuring the ball and forcing a lot of turnovers,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts.

Scappoose came up with nine steals in the second half and had 16 for See SHS, Page A13

St. Helens mixes and matches events in win over Milwaukie

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — In what turned out to be more of a glorified scrimmage than a Northwest Oregon Conference dual meet, the St. Helens Lions thrashed the Milwaukie Mustangs on Jan. 16.

The Lion girls finished first and second in all 11 events, and went 12-3 in eight of them. St. Helens won, 136-21.

The Lion boys overmatched the Mustang boys — or boy, to be more accurate. Freshman Jared Dana was the only Milwaukie swimmer in competition. Dana won both of his events – the 100 butterfly and 500 freestyle – to make the final score St. Helens 132, Milwaukie 12.

St. Helens coach Bill Rash said

he anticipated St. Helens would have the upper hand and adjusted the Lions’ practice schedule as a result. He also put his swimmers into events that may have been foreign to them in the past.

“I made them swim a workout before the meet yesterday afternoon,” Rash said. “We swam mostly off events to see what we could do.”

As the results suggest, they were able to do well.

“Brook (Hopkins) and Jojo (Parkhurst) did great in the events they were in,” Rash said.

Hopkins won the 100-yard freestyle and 100 breaststroke.

Parkhurst was second in the 100 butterfly and the 100 breaststroke.

She was second to junior Patience Marshall in the butterfly.

Sophomore Jackie Prevish started the day with three second-

place finishes in the first three events of the day – the 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle and 200 IM. “I made Jackie do three grueling events in a row and she did awesome too,” Rash said.

For the boys, six different individuals recorded first-place finishes: Devon Brady, Cameron Lein, Trevor Moss, Nathan Reed, Bryan Strang and Dillon Swatski.

Junior Andrew Collson – one of the Lions’ top short-distance swimmers – took second in the 500 freestyle.

“Andrew Collson seems to be back in good form for the boys,” Rash said.

St. Helens swims at Parkrose High School at 4 p.m. on Jan. 24.

ODFW & WDFW have scheduled a hearing for Jan. 30, 2013, at the Sheraton Portland Airport Hotel (8235 NE Airport Way, Portland) to discuss commercial and recreational seasons for spring chinook and sturgeon.

Weekend Fishing Opportunities Sturgeon fishing is fair in the Bonneville Pool. Boat anglers experienced a lot of action on sublegal sturgeon with a few keepers in the mix.

A few steelhead are being caught in the John Day Pool.

Walleye anglers are catching a few fish in The Dalles and John Day pools.

Columbia River Fish Counts Salmon, steelhead and shad Recreational salmon fisheries in 2013 will begin under permanent regulations except barbless hooks will be required when an-

gling for salmon, steelhead and trout. Modifications to the 2013 spring chinook fishery will be considered at the Jan. 30 joint state hearing.

Columbia River mainstem, Buoy 10 to the I-5 bridge: Effective Jan. 1, this section of the river will be open to the retention of finclipped spring chinook, steelhead and coho with a daily bag limit of two adult salmon or steelhead (chinook longer than 24 inches and steelhead longer than 20 inches) and five jacks. Barbless hooks will be required when angling for salmon, steelhead and trout.

Columbia River mainstem, I-5 bridge upstream to the Oregon/Washington border above McNary Dam: Effective Jan. 1, this section of the river will be open to the retention of fin-clipped steelhead with a daily limit of two fish.

Retention of spring chinook is prohibited. Barbless hooks will be required when angling for salmon, steelhead and trout.

Boat anglers had decent success for steelhead in the John Day Pool last week. Bank anglers in The Dalles pool also caught a few fish, and a few winter steelhead are being caught off the lower Columbia River beaches.

Sturgeon Recreational sturgeon fisheries on the lower Columbia River will begin under permanent regulations for 2013 except the annual bag limit in 2013 will be one white sturgeon total in all zones statewide. Modifications to the 2013 sturgeon fishery will be considered at the Jan. 30 joint state hearing.

Buoy 10 upstream to Wauna Powerlines: Effective Jan. 1, the following regulations are in place for this section of the river: Retention of white sturgeon is allowed seven days per week until further notice with a daily limit of one white sturgeon between 38-54 inches fork length and an annual Oregon

on TV. As a result, he has been influenced by some big personalities in the announcing realm. When calling a high school game, however, that color commentary is a faux pas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to be an announcer more like Marv Albert: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sam Padgett with the rebound, Paul with the three, YES!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; like all that crap. People canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand that,â&#x20AC;? Haahr

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my iPod out. Trust me, I was thinking about it,â&#x20AC;?

Haahr said.

But he thought better of it, knowing ridiculing the referees over the speakers probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try my best not to get into trouble with (principal Eric) Clendenin or Tufts,â&#x20AC;?

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been tempted to push the envelope. He said at a recent game, he was getting text messages requesting he play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three Blind Miceâ&#x20AC;? over the PA system.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fun for Haahr as well. He said he approached Tufts in part because he had a lot of friends on the team and just likes being around the game.

Lions look to rebound

JOSIAH DARR / For The Chronicle

Scappoose junior Jenny Vardanega defends a Tillamook player during the teams’ Cowapa League opener on Jan. 15.

Indians open with W The long drive back from Tillamook was a good one for the Scappoose Indians (3-10, 1-1) on Jan. 15 as the Tribe started its Cowapa League season with a 43-38 win over the Cheesemakers (2-10, 0-2).

A run-in with the seventh-ranked Banks Braves (12-3, 2-0) at home on Jan. 18 didn’t go as well for Scappoose. Banks won that meeting 39-21.

At Tillamook, the Indians shook off a four-point halftime deficit and outscored the Cheesemakers 16-6 in the third quarter.

Junior Abby Kessi led the Indians with 11 points in the win. Junior Lacey Updike added 10 and junior Haley Wight scored 8.

The Indians had a difficult time against the Braves’ aggressive defense.

Banks has the second-best defense in 4A in terms of points allowed per game and has held its opponents under 30 points in seven of its 15 games.

Scappoose was home against No. 9 Seaside (12-3, 3-0) on Jan. 22 and plays at Yamhill-Carlton (2-13, 0-2) at 8 p.m. on Jan. 25.

After dropping back-to-back Northwest Oregon Conference games last week, the St. Helens Lions (7-7, 1-3) are looking to get back into the win column this week.

The Lions were at home on Jan. 22 against a team they had already defeated earlier in the season, the Rex Putnam Kingsmen (4-9, 2-2), and then take on the Sandy Pioneers (211, 0-4) on Jan. 25.

Wins in those two games would help the Lions make up lost ground in the tightly-packed NWOC standings. No. 4 Milwaukie (11-2, 4-0) – the team that beat St. Helens 65-34 on Jan. 15 – is all alone in first. Liberty (5-9, 3-1) is second and there are four teams tied for third, one game ahead of St. Helens. One of those teams is Wilsonville (5-8, 2-2), who beat St. Helens 59-38 on Jan. 18.

Using their deadeye shooting and creating plenty of turnovers from the Lions, the Wildcats opened a 24-6 lead by the end of the first quarter.

St. Helens coach Billy McKinney said he could tell from the way Wilsonville freshman Caitlin Malvar was shooting that it might be a tough night for St. Helens.

“Once she hit that long 3 – she was about three feet behind the 3point line – after she made that I said ‘Uh-oh,’” McKinney said. “That just got ’em going.”

The Lions rallied back in the second quarter and had their deficit in single digits for a brief while.

Wilsonville, however put the game out of reach in the second half.

Sophomore Rianne Tupper knocked down three 3-pointers for the Lions and finished with a teamhigh 13 points.

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens junior Lucy Kyle-Milward attempts a shot against Wilsonville on Jan. 18.

Senior Jillian Ross and junior Jessica Amick scored 7 apiece.

A 3-point second quarter against Milwaukie put St. Helens into a 3212 deficit at halftime that proved too deep for the Lions to climb out of.

Junior Nicole Harcourt and sophomore Michelle Sass scored 7 points apiece to lead the Lions, while Tupper and Ross each scored 6.

That led to a 30-point explosion for the Mustangs in the period.

Hunter finished the game with 9 points and seven rebounds.

Junior Tanner Long had a team-high 14 points along with eight rebounds. Senior Jared Bonney scored 13 with a team-high nine rebounds. Senior Cody Galvin scored 12.

When St. Helens went to Wilsonville, it matched two of the top-four defensive schools in the state against one another. Wilsonville is allowing 41.3 points per game this season, lowest in Oregon at the 5A ranks. St. Helens (46.1) is fourth. Coincidentally, fellow Northwest Oregon Conference member Liberty (7-7, 1-3) is second, allowing 43.7 points per night.

The Wildcats held the Lions without a 3-pointer all game long.

Senior Cody Beisley led the team with 11 points. Long and Bonney scored 5 apiece.

St. Helens was home against Rex Putnam (1-11, 13) on Jan. 22. The Lions hit the road to play the No. 6 Sandy Pioneers (11-3, 4-0).

TRIBE: before taking fourth, Scappoose throttles league foes

From PAGE A12

rival Tillamook, 36-18.

Overall, Jones was thoroughly pleased with his team’s performance at the two-day event.

“This weekend was great not just because of what we accomplished on the mat but perhaps more importantly for everything our group does well off the mat. We received compliments about our behavior, character and attitudes at nearly every place we stopped,” Jones said. “A great overall team ef-

fort to consistenly do what is right – very impressive.”

And the fourth-place finish on the mat was impressive as well.

Seniors Isaiah Goodrich and Branden Bailey had perfect showings over the weekend.

Bailey, the team’s heavyweight, finished the tournament 6-0 and pinned all six of his opponents. Three of those six pins came in under a minute.

Goodrich was unbeaten in the 170-pound weight class. He pinned three opponents, won

two decisions and also won a match by forfeit.

Also standing out individually were senior Bailey Apon and sophomore Devin Ray. Apon finished 5-1 in the 182-pound division. He won two matches by pinfall and three by decision. His loss was a 7-4 decision against Tillamook’s William Prince.

Ray was 5-1 at 220 pounds.

His only loss also came against Tillamook, a 4-2 overtime decision against Marcus Cheney.

Ray pinned two of his other opponents, earned a major deci-

sion victory and won a decision. One of his bouts was also forfeited.

“Fourth is a great finish for us and many of our athletes competed well with or defeated some of the top-ranked wrestlers in the state,” Jones said.

Earlier in the week, there wasn’t much competition in the gym at Scappoose High School.

Over the course of the 28 matches in a Cowapa League double dual meet on Jan. 16, Scappoose won 27.

The Indians dismantled the Seaside Seagulls 70-6 and held the Astoria Fishermen winless in a 79-0 shutout.

Jones said shutting out an opponent in a dual meet is pretty uncommon, although he said his Indian teams have done it in the past.

The perfect meet was in jeopardy in the final contested bout of the evening, but freshman Braxton Sue was able to pull through. Sue trailed 3-1 with a minute to go in the 106pound match. Then he scored a takedown and a 3-point near

fall to go ahead 6-3. He held on for a 6-5 victory in the most exciting match of the contest.

The Indians recorded seven other victories against the Fishermen and accepted forfeits at six weight classes.

Scappoose’s success against Astoria came immediately after the Tribe rolled over the Seagulls. Six Scappoose wins came by way of forfeit, four by pinfall, two by technical fall and one by decision.

Scappoose wrestles at Yamhill-Carlton next. The two will begin at 7 p.m. on Jan. 24.
