Turmoil continues to surround city council decisions

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE —The reality-TV worthy drama plaguing the Scappoose City Council for the past few months seems to have followed it into the new year. And so has the ire of some area citizens. A small, but decidedly hostile audience raked the council over the coals at its Jan. 6 meeting, citing the council’s decision to fire City Attorney Ron Guerra and a move to grant hiring and firing authority to the council, (which was then changed to an advisory capacity only), chief among their complaints.

“Since February, this board

and this city has entered a multitude of inappropriate actions in representing the bodies that have elected them to office,” said Scappoose resident Bill Marinelli, who went on to criticize one individual in particular – Councilor Jason Meshell – for his behavior. “One individual has gone out of his way, in my opinion, to destroy the charter of this city.”

Marinelli also said Scappoose has a gained a reputation for being “gestapo like,” especially in its treatment of those from outside of the area.

In December, the council passed a motion to revoke the city manager’s hiring and firing authority (regardless of whether that person is an in-

terim or permanent city manager) and instead transferred that authority to the council itself.

The motion, which was proposed by Meshell, stated “Interim and permanent city managers shall Jason Meshell prepare and provide recommendations for the council regarding the hiring and termination of any city officers or employees; council shall consider and approve/disapprove of the recommendation by majority

vote, the vote shall be binding, this rule shall become effective Jan. 1, 2014.” The motion was set to come back before the counsel in one year’s time for reconsideration.

“We did a lot of research on this. What we were trying to do was prevent an interim city manager from being able to come in here and start firing or hiring employees without the consent of the council,” said Council President Larry Meres. “We were not doing anything out of line.”

However, legal counsel raised concerns that the changes made could be found in conflict with the city’s charter should a lawsuit be filed. According to the city

charter, the city manager shall “supervise, discipline, and have authority over officers and employees.” The charter also states, “the city manager shall hire and terminate officers and employees as prescribed by rules of the council.” Meshell’s original motion and later amendment changed the “rules of council” rather than the charter.

During a Jan. 2 special meeting, the motion was amended to read, “The council decision will be advisory only in nature, the decision of the city manager, after review of the council advisory position, shall be final.”

Not everyone agreed with that amendment. Mayor Scott Burge and Councilor Jeff

Erickson both voted against it. Several people attending the Jan. 6 meeting also took exception to what they perceived as an end run around the city’s charter.

“Before you took office you swore an oath to faithfully perform the duties stated in your charter,” said Brianna Mares. “I’m not here to place blame on anybody… but I am worried that if our community sees that the city doesn’t have to abide by the rules, how can we hold others to it?”

The original motion and subsequent amendment have now been made moot. Since approving both motions just days ago, the council has ­­­­ See COUNCIL, Page A4

Economic development conversation begins

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

Ask any city or county leader what they think about economic development and you will no doubt get lots of differing opinions. There are just as many, if not more, questions about what economic development really is.

Is it all about creating jobs? Is there any place for discussions about quality of life? What about enterprise zones ­– do they help or hinder? Will the Scappoose Urban Growth Boundary expansion bring with it a boom or a bust?

Throughout the month of January, The Chronicle will be looking at those questions, how our city and county leaders are tackling those questions and how the different agencies tasked with economic development are moving forward and how they are working together.

The series of articles – some will be in print, others will be on our website – will culminate with a Jan. 29 “Kitchen Table Conversation” at the Columbia Learning Center inside the St. Helens Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m. This event is sponsored by Columbia County Citizens for Human Dignity in partnership with The Chronicle and the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation.

Local officials and economic development agencies will shed light on how economic development decisions are made, how the public can participate in those decisions and learn what economic development means to county, city and port officials.

Look for the first article – how groups like Columbia County Economic Team, SHEDCO and the ColumbiaPacific Economic Development District work together and work separately to achieve their goals online on Wednesday, Jan. 8.

DOT-111 type cars move through Columbia County on a regular basis. The safety of those rail cars is being reviewed by federal transit authorities.

Safety concerns reappear after third oil-train derailment

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

A third train derailment involving rail cars carrying oil in just six months has local citizens and officials concerned about the safety of similar trains moving through Columbia County.

“It would be one thing if the trains derailed and leaked, but they derail and explode,” said Dan Serres of Columbia Riverkeeper. “The

parallels between what was going on in North Dakota and what would happen down here are so strong.”

The most recent accident occurred on Dec. 30 near Cassleton, N.D., when a westbound BNSF Railway train carrying grain derailed first, and a portion of it fell onto an adjacent track carrying the eastbound BNSF oil train causing 18 of the 106 cars making up the oil train to derail. An estimated 10 cars burned, some exploding. Although no one was

hurt, most of the 2,400 residents in the nearby town were temporarily evacuated because of the heavy smoke.

It would be a week before all of the town’s residents were allowed back in their homes. National Transportation Safety Board investigators have reportedly recovered a broken axle near the crash site.

In November, a 90-car train carrying T-108 type oil cars and operated by Genesee & Wyoming was traveling on a fairly flat

terrain going below 40 mph derailed sending 30 cars off the track and bursting into flames. Like the North Dakota accident, the Alabama derailment happened in an unpopulated area. However, some 2.7 million gallons of oil were spilled.

The July 6 derailment in Lac-Megantic, Quebec had a far deadlier outcome when an unattended 74-car crude oil train derailed in the center of the town. The resulting fire and explosion killed 42 people with another five

Long-time St. Helens businessman dies

BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@thechronicleonline.com

The marquee of his beloved theater in St. Helens said it best. Jim Svoboda, Columbia County businessman and longtime resident passed away on Dec. 30, 2013, after a long bout with cancer. He was 81.

Svoboda was best known as the owner and operator of the Columbia Theatre in St. Helens, a grand palace built in 1928, during the booming years of great movie theaters. He lavished attention on it, restoring much of the inside and outside and updating the sound and projection systems with state-of-the-art equipment.

Svoboda’s father purchased the theater in 1963, but he was not the first in the Svoboda family to be a theater owner. Jim Svoboda purchased a run-down movie theater in St. Johns, The Crest, in 1960. He taught in the Portland Public Schools during the day and worked at the theater on weekends. The Crest was demolished in 1966, but it

sparked a passion that lasted his entire life.

Other neighborhood theaters in Portland soon followed, with Svoboda operating them, in partnership with his longtime friend, Chuck Nakvasil.

Together they bought the Sellwood Theater, followed by the St. Johns, Lombard, Roseway, Laurelhurst, Moreland and Mt. Hood in Gresham until they owned 11.

Nakvasil’s son, Chuck Jr., fondly remembers his association with Svoboda while growing up in Scappoose. “He bought me my first bible.” Nakvasil recounts a memory of camping as a young boy, with his father and Svoboda, sleeping in a tiny trailer and catching trout for breakfast.

“He was a good friend of the family.”

“I remember going to see “Swiss Family Robinson” and having to bring a can of soup to get in,” another county resident, Wayne Mayo, reminisced about growing up in St. Helens and as a 6-year-old attending the old theater. “Imag-

ine St. Helens without a theater.”

Fellow Olde Towne property owner, Jim Bach, knew Svoboda as an astute businessman. “When it came to business, not only did he understand it, but he had an intuitive savvy about it,” Bach said. “People who worked for him, loved him.”

A devout Catholic, Svoboda lived his life by the tenets of his religion. Anyone who knew him spoke of his compassion for his fellow man, especially those who were less fortunate.

“He was amazing,” said Susie Wilson, Svoboda’s neighbor and friend. “He was always trying to help the one who didn’t have much,” Svoboda donated to a project in Africa; an orphanage in need of a reliable supply of drinking water.

“They were drinking out of mud puddles,” as Wilson recounts the story. Svoboda, she said, paid the cost of installing a well that provided clean water for not only the orphanage, but for the surrounding community as well. His dream, said Wilson, was to go to see it.

A child of the Great Depression, Svoboda grew up believing in American exceptionalism. He looked for ways he could contribute to the betterment of those around him. He wasn’t the kind of person to talk about his regrets, he stayed active in life and in his community until the end. With the passing of Jim Svoboda, our community lost a great man.

still missing and nearly half of the town’s downtown area destroyed. That train was carrying DOT-111 cars, the same as those that make their way through Columbia County.

NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said in a 2012 letter to regulators that the DOT-111 had a “high incidence of tank failures during accidents.” According to the agency, about 69 percent of the U.S. rail tank car fleet ­­­­ See RAIL, Page A4

New law makes cars smoke-free for kids A new law could cost smokers as much as $500 for smoking in a car with children present. The new law went into effect on Jan.1 and makes smoking in a motor vehicle with any youth under the age of 18 present a secondary traffic violation. The penalty is a $250 fine for the first offense and up to $500 for the second or subsequent offenses.

The law was passed to further protect children from the dangers of secondhand smoke.

Secondhand smoke is classified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Group A carcinogen and is shown to cause cancer in humans. According to the EPA, secondhand smoke in cars is especially harmful to children because of the small, confined space. Secondhand smoke levels are more concentrated, which is particularly damaging to developing lungs.

Children in an estimated 50,000 Oregon families are currently exposed to secondhand smoke in motor vehicles, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

Studies have found that rolling car windows down while smoking does not protect passengers from dangerous levels of second hand

On January 15, 2014 Scappoose Industrial Airpark (SPB) will hold the fourth of six Master Plan Study sessions.

Columbia County Rider will no longer be picking up passengers from the Fred Meyer grocery store at Havlik Dr. on its return trip from Portland Community College.

“Because the City of Scappoose has determined that CCRider cannot stop on Havlik Road… we will not be able to stop at Fred Meyer on the return trip from Portland, PCC/ Willow Creek,” said CCRider Director Janet Wright.

Instead, Wright said, the Flex Route will now return to using the stop at the grocery entrance in the Fred Meyer parking lot.

Riders can continue to board the bus at the stop on U.S. Highway 30 but will not be allowed to get off on the return trip, as there is no stop the city will approve, according to the transit agency.

“Because the city has decided to stop and cite our bus drivers for using the stop we have no choice but to cease using the Havlik Road stop immediately,” Wright added.

For more information about CCRider or route schedules, visit the website at ColumbiaCountyRider.com.

Sandra Fowler-Hill has been chosen as the new president for the Portland Community College’s Rock Creek campus.

City looks for feedback on street corridor plan The City of St. Helens is seeking public feedback on the creation of a street corridor master plan for a segment of Columbia River Highway between Gable and Pittsburg Roads, as well as Columbia Boulevard and St. Helens Street on the east side of the highway.

The public is invited to visit the St. Helens City Hall Council Chambers on Jan. 14 at 6:30 p.m., for an opportunity to informally view the street corridor plan project exhibits. A planning commission workshop will follow at 7 p.m.

The workshop is intended to provide the public with information about recent work completed by the street corridor plan project team.

COUNCIL: Scappoose City Council’s decision-making process questioned From PAGE A1 now rescinded both. After an hour-long executive session, also held on Jan. 6, the council voted not to implement – at least for now – the motion giving the council an “advisory position” and returns full hiring and termination authority to the city manager, as stated in the city’s charter.

The council also decided to continue the contract with Portland law firm Jordan Schrader Ramis PC, although Guerra will no longer serve as the city attorney. However, a separate law firm will be retained to specifically handle employment-related issues.

That firm will be selected through a Request for Proposal.

The council’s decision to fire Guerra was originally scheduled to be discussed at the council’s Dec. 16 meeting but was tabled when Councilor Donna Gedlich, who asked for the issue to be added to the agenda originally, was unable to attend.

Rather than wait for the Jan. 6 meeting, three of the council members asked for a special meeting to be held at 8 a.m. on Jan. 2, although notification of that meeting didn’t come until late in the day on New Year’s Eve. What was the hurry?

According to Meshell, the council needed to clarify the

language surrounding the city manager’s authority before Interim Manager Don Otterman Larry Meres began his tenure on Jan. 3. However, any explanation for the council’s decision to fire Guerra hasn’t been forthcoming, nor is it likely to be.

“I don’t want to say anything wrong,” said Meres.

“The contract says I don’t have to speak to why we

terminated that contract, so I would as soon not discuss it.”

The motion to terminate the city’s contract with Jordan Schrader Ramis was passed with four council members voting in favor and Mayor Scott Burge and Councilor Jeff Erickson voting against it. Gedlich was not present at either of the January meetings and isn’t expected to return until March due to personal matters.

For some in the audience, the council’s recent decisions are simply examples of larger issues at work. One person in the audience especially critical of the council’s behavior, and

at times lack of behavior, was former city councilor Jeff Bernhard. Bernhard served as a city councilor for nine years, but chose not to run for re-election when his term expired in 2012.

“For the past year I have sat quietly on the sidelines and watched with concern about the decision making of this council,” said Bernhard. “Council discussed and approved a new vision statement with council goals in April 2013. As I went through the goals set in 2013, I was pressed to find anything that was completed or even started.”

The former councilor went on to add that of the council’s 30 goals for the

year, 26 remain uncompleted. Bernhard noted that one of those goals was to maintain fiscal responsibility, but that the recent payout of a one-year severance for former city manager Jon Hanken that will cost the city nearly $150,000 in additional expense failed to meet that goal.

“This council has either forgotten the goals it set forth or is ineffective in making goals in this community a reality,” Bernhard said.

Scappoose City Council’s next meeting has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 21, beginning at 7 p.m., due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

RAIL: Oil transports spark rising concern for railroad safety issues are DOT-111s.

The overall safety of transporting crude oil out of the Baaken oil fields in North Dakota is being considered. U.S. regulators issued a safety alert on Jan. 2 because the type of oil being pumped out of those fields may be more flammable than other types of crude oil.

“This one is significant to me because it happened on a BNSF line,” said Serres of the North Dakota crash.

“I think that should give everyone pause about what could happen in Columbia County.”

Would Columbia County emergency personnel be ready if a similar event occurred here? The answer is they’re working on it.

“We’re working with the railroad and Global Partners to see what the needs are for training and supplies, things like that,” said Scappoose Fire Chief Mike Greisen. “Countywide we have a hazardous materials response. We know the oil

Credit union gives $25,000 to Columbia County nonprofits ST. HELENS — Nonprofits across Columbia County received thousands of dollars and volunteer support last year from St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union. The 75-yearold credit union announced it donated $25,000 and more than 100 volunteer hours in 2013 to charitable organizations to help strengthen local communities.

“SHCU believes in investing in our local communities to help them become stronger and more prosperous,” said SHCU President and CEO Brooke Van Vleet. “One way we do this is by supporting local nonprofits that develop our young people, care for those in need, and provide a variety of health-based services.”

The credit union’s charitable giving also included its CU 4 A Cause campaign, an initiative led entirely by SHCU employees. Employees choose

charities and commit to help them raise funds and volunteer support. The CU 4 A Cause program supported eight charities in 2013: the Amani Center, Columbia Pacific Food Bank, CASA for Kids, Community Action Team, KidCare Scappoose, Sacagawea Health Center, Columbia Humane Society and Relay for Life.

According to Van Vleet, SHCU’s direct giving has more than doubled since 2010, and the credit union looks forward to having a continued positive impact through its charitable giving program.

“Looking back on this year, I’m thankful for the ways the SHCU family has been able to contribute to the shared well being of all those living in Columbia County. In the years ahead, our goal is to give more and do more to benefit our members and make our communities stronger,” Van Vleet added.

The City of St. Helens City Council will hold a public forum on January 15, 2014, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The purpose of the public forum is to review the proposed Utility Assistance Program. The proposal is to switch from having an age-based discount on water bills to an incomebased discount. Citizen input is encouraged.

The forum will be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 265 Strand Street, Plaza Entrance, St. Helens, OR 97051. The facility is handicap accessible. If you need special accommodation, please contact City Hall at (503)397-6272, at least 48 hours before the meeting.

coming through the county is a hazardous material, it’s very flammable.”

Greisen said his firefighters and EMTs have practiced working with hazardous materials but that it has been a while since that has happened. He is hoping that a training car, which is currently on tour across the country, will be available later this year for joint training with other agencies in the county.

“And some of the things we do on a day-to-day basis can work for other inci-

dents,” Greisen added.

Columbia River Fire & Rescue Chief Jay Tappan agreed that training was essential to being prepared.

“We’ve been working with the Port of St. Helens and the rail on some plans.

That includes things like foam. We need a different type of foam than what we typically use for structure fires,” said Tappan. “We have an agreement with the rail folks that they will subsidize that. We’re still working on the details but I would really like to see that

in the form of a trailer that we could position maybe one in Scappoose and one here in St. Helens” Like Greisen, Tappan said he is also working to get the training car, which is larger than a “real” tanker car to allow firefighters better access for training brought to Columbia County.

No matter how much training local responders receive, both Greisen and Tappan noted the area’s assigned Hazardous Materials Response Team, which

is based in Portland, would still be a critical part of the overall response to a catastrophic event.

“If it’s a big one like they’ve had with the last few incidents, we would be overwhelmed,” said Tappan.

“We’re not going to be able to handle it on our own.”

Revolving fund loan hearing scheduled for Jan. 16 COLUMBIA CITY —The Columbia City Council will hold a public hearing to accept public testimony about a proposed loan under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan program. The hearing will be held on Jan. 16 beginning at 6 p.m.

The loan will be used to complete sewer system improvements as recommended by the city’s Wastewater Collection System Facility Plan. The total estimated project cost is $430,000, and the city is seeking financial assistance in the amount of $400,000 under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan program to complete the project. The loan will be payable over a period of 20 years with an interest rate of approximately 2.54 percent

or less, and an annual loan fee of 0.5 percent. The loan will be repaid with user fees.

The sewer system improvements include the following major components: RCE Pump Station Upgrade: The city’s main pump station needs additional firm capacity of 88 gallons per minute (gpm) to accommodate existing peak flows and 110 gpm to serve future needs. The 25 horsepower pumps will be upgraded to 35 horsepower pumps, and associated necessary electrical improvements will be made, including an additional transformer, to accommodate the additional horsepower. An overflow alarm will also be installed.

Also, a cellular and internet based telemetry system will be added to each of the

city’s four pump stations.

The telemetry system will record flow rates and pump run times, handle alarms, and make emergency call outs in the event of a problem.

Real time data will be accessible from remote locations, enabling simple controls to be conducted remotely, often preventing unneeded trips to the pump stations when an alarm goes off.

Another component will be manhole lining. Approximately 25 manholes within the “K” Street pump station basin (located in the southwest area of the city) are exhibiting high degrees of groundwater flow into the sewer system, commonly referred to as infiltration.

Infiltration increases energy and sewer treatment costs

and reduces system capacity.

Infiltration occurs through holes, cracks, joint failures, and faulty connections. The manholes will be lined with an epoxy type grout to reduce infiltration.

The fourth component is steel septic tank replacement or abandonment. There are currently 54 steel septic tanks remaining within the city’s sewer system. Based on a recent investigation of the condition of the steel tanks, some of the tanks have holes and may be leaking. Also, 17 steel tanks have been targeted for replacement or abandonment under this project.

For additional information about this project, contact City Hall by calling 503-3974010, or attend the hearing on Jan. 16

Letters A safe place Another oil train explosion. This one is a mile-long train hauling crude oil, near an ethanol plant, just outside Casselton, N. D. It is a warning to us. The huge increase in railcar tankers hauling toxic chemicals and volatile crude oil through our small towns and cities in the Northwest creates a need for strong leaders with a priority for community safety.

We are affected by trains hauling combustible materials. The train that is burning right now (Dec. 31, 2013) in North Dakota was carrying the same crude oil that travels through Columbia County to the Global plant multiple times each day.

Global brings a maximum of 24 oil trains per month through Columbia County and planned expansions at Port Westward could mean even more.

The North Dakota town of 2,400 is currently evacuated and the mayor was quoted in the Associated Press saying, “It’s almost gotten to the point that it looks like not if we’re going to have an accident, it’s when. We dodged a bullet by having it out of town, but this is too close for comfort.”

What preparations against an oil train explosion can our county make? Is it possible to prepare for such a disaster? Will our elected officials demand enforcement of the highest safety standards, and if Global and the rail line can’t or won’t meet them, deny them the right to bring explosive trains through our county?

It’s time we start exercising our rights to determine what is and is not compatible with our need for a safe place to live.

Paulette Lichatowich, Columbia City

Speedbump

A lonely place Defenders of legal abortion occupy the low ground of life in these United States of America.

Such thinking requires a prejudicial preference for the living-we-can-see over the living-we-do-not-see.

Somehow all of our civil institutions have lined up on the side of this kind of thinking. Our courts, our legislative bodies, executive officials all have stood in defense of this practice that few people could bear to watch performed. We have had heart transplants, surgeries correcting facial deformities and brain surgeries televised but never an abortion. No need to ask “Why?” It is said that unlike China, a country we favor with most of our consumer dollars, which has a policy of forcing abortion on unwilling fathers and mothers, that we have an enlightened abortion policy that leaves women “free to choose.”

Truth be told, many if not most abortions probably result because women are pressured by others to go this unhappy way.

My personal sense is that killing unborn babies is the outward manifestation of societal brokenness, a devaluation of life resulting from spiritual poverty.

There was a selfless person named Mother Teresa who devoted her life to the needs of destitute and downtrodden people. She spent her days rescuing and revaluing upwards the lives of people who were the cast offs of a world too busy to notice their needs. Regarding abortion she said, “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that we may live as we wish.”

She said God spoke to her and that she simply

went ahead in life on His instruction. That is the high ground of life. Let’s not let it be a lonely place.

Bob Ekstrom, Scappoose Don’t be duped Grocers are coming after Oregon’s Liquor and you know how that worked out for Washington. My wife and I own the Rainier Liquor store, she has been the agent there for over 12 years. Most of our customers are from Washington and she hears on a daily basis how unhappy they are with their system. Most of them seem to feel that they were duped by the big corporations. Forget about the cost increase for a moment and think about how theft has increased. Theft is so bad across the water that Rep. Christopher Hurt is introducing a bill to give fairly sweeping power back to the Liquor Control Board to control and even revoke licenses of stores suffering from theft. If the situation is that bad over there, I’m fairly certain that some thieves are under age and it will probably result in more fatalities.

I’m no fan of government controlling anything, but Oregon’s liquor agents (who are not state employees), do a great job, in spite of their lack of compensation. There are around 249 liquor stores in Oregon, most of them being small businesses that employ over 1,000 people and generate more money than income tax does for the state’s general fund, counties, and cities. The lottery is the only bigger revenue generator in the state, I’ve been told. If we let big business take over, common sense tells me that liquor will go up substantially just like in

Washington, taxes will go up just like in Washington, selection will go down just like in Washington, and liquor stores will probably pop up everywhere increasing theft and the chance of teenage deaths due to drinking because of the lack of control and accountability.

The Dept. of Transportation, NHTSA website stats has Oregon coming in at a 26-percent alcohol fatality rate and Washington at 33 percent. Quite an increase just for crossing a river.

That puts Oregon tied for

seventh in the nation for the least amount of deaths related to drinking.

Liquor agents, just like any other small business have invested a lot of time and money to serve the people of Oregon. They pay all the bills that come with running a business, for very little compensation or incentives and no benefits, but these are their businesses and if the grocers have their way, they will put these small business owners on the unemployment line. I have heard

they will have as many as five bills in 2014. Why five bills? Sounds like they are trying to sneak one through.

Remember, Washington voted this down and then they somehow got it passed when they knew the voter turnout would be low.

Money and trickery duped Washington; don’t let the greedy grocery industry dupe you. They will tell you this time it will be different than Washington, but it is a lie. Don’t be duped.

Habitat for Humanity starts off 2014 with a big bang The Columbia County affiliate has acquired the property on which its ReStore site is located.

The ReStore shop is at 164 Little Street in St. Helens and is directly behind The Bike Shop on Highway 30. It was once a home remodeling and lumber site for TVBS, a building supply company, and more recently before becoming home of the CCHFH ReStore, it served as the thrift store location for the Women’s Resource Center.

The Habitat ReStore has been operating successfully since May of 2013, bringing to the community an affordable source of donated used and new building materials, supplies, home and office furniture and more, at discounted prices. All the proceeds go toward the construction of new homes in Colum-

bia County by Columbia County Habitat for Habit volunteers, and operations of the ReStore. The goal of CCHFH is building affordable homes for people who might not otherwise be able to afford a new home.

Purchasing and acquiring the ReStore property is part of the long term strategy of accomplishing this goal. Columbia County Habitat for Humanity is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Bill Blank, Executive Director of Columbia County Habitat for Humanity, said the affiliate is excited about securing the location.

“It is a great location and facility for our use.

The building was for sale at the time we entered our lease. Knowing that we are now purchasing the property not only gives an

added sense of security for our volunteers and board members, it also sends a message to the community that we will be here for some time to come,” Blank said, noting it would not have been possible to purchase this location “without the hard work of our board and the all the

parties involved”.

“The real reason this was possible was because of the great support of our customers, donors, and volunteers to make the ReStore a success and show that we are an asset to the community,” he added.

Blank also cited the support of St. Helens Commu-

and reach our goals like any nonprofit organization.

Our affiliate recently hired a full-time ReStore manager, Dave Marble. Dave is doing a great job of using his retail experience to help us grow. More importantly, he is driven by the cause. Dave is a former pastor. He cares about helping people and creating affordable housing.”

One thing both Marble and Blank agree on is that while they have a core group of great volunteers, they need more volunteers willing to give a little of their time for a good cause.

For information on how to get involved or how to contact Columbia County Habitat for Humanity / Habitat ReStore, call 503366-1400. The ReStore is open Wednesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Obituaries James E. Svoboda James E. Svoboda (Jim) lost his valiant battle with cancer and heart disease, passing away on Dec. 30, 2013, at the age of 81.

Jim was a life-long Oregonian. He was born in Portland, Ore., on Aug. 15, 1932, Jim E. Svoboda and was the third son of John and Florence Svoboda, longtime owners of Florence Auto Park and Shell Service Station, south of Scappoose.

His brothers, John and David preceded him in death at ages 90 and 8 respectively.

Jim graduated from Scappoose Elementary and Scappoose Union High School in 1950. After two years at the University of Portland, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served two years in San Diego as a chaplain’s assistant and librarian. Upon his discharge, Jim returned to the University of Portland and earned his B.A. in Business Administration in 1957, followed by his Master’s Degree in Education. He taught elementary and middle school in Portland until his retirement in the 1990s.

In the 1960s, Jim partnered with Jack Cruikshank and Chuck Nakvasil and began a movie theater business which included leasing, purchasing, remodeling, renovating and operating several theaters in the Portland area, most notably, the Laurelhurst theater during the James Bond “Goldfinger” era. Their partnership endured for over 40 years. Locally, Jim purchased the St. Helens, Columbia Theatre in about 1964 and operated it until about a year before his death.

He took immense pride in restoring the 1920 vintage theater to its original beauty but with modern amenities and technology.

He was an active member

of both the St. Wenceslaus (Scappoose), and St. Frederic (St. Helens) Catholic Churches and was a generous contributor to both church projects and overseas missions. Jim lived his life with honesty, integrity, and generosity. He will certainly be missed.

Irvin Edward Brown Irvin Edward Brown, 85, of St. Helens, valiantly battled Alzheimer’s disease for nearly 15 years and died peacefully with family at his side on Dec. 31, 2013.

Brown was born July 11, 1928, in Filer, Idaho, to Pearl Lora Quinn and Kenneth Leonard Irvin E. Brown Brown, the eldest of five children.

He spent his early childhood in Idaho, before his father’s work took the family to California. After Kenneth’s death in 1940, Pearl moved with her children to Oregon.

Brown graduated from St. Helens High School in 1947.

Later that year, on Dec. 5, 1947, the young Private Brown received an honorable discharge from the National Guard of Oregon, having served in Company K, 186th Infantry. Brown entered the U.S. Army on Jan. 11, 1949, enlisting while visiting family in Idaho. His service included driving truck in Korea, and he received an honorable discharge on Sept.

9, 1952. Brown was awarded

the Korean Service Medal with one Bronze Service Star, and the United Nations Service Medal.

Brown married Naomi V. Larson of Warren on May 17, 1954, and they settled in St. Helens and started a family. On Sept. 6, he moved from volunteer firefighting to a full-time hire position with the St. Helens Rural Fire District. Brown would serve with distinction as an active-duty firefighter for 27 years, retiring in 1981. Volunteer service accounted for another three years, and he received his 30-year pin at the end of his public-safety career.

In 1973, Brown held the rank of captain when a chlorine gas spill at Boise Cascade sent 21 people to the local hospital. Brown was one of two first responders on the scene and acted swiftly, saving many lives through quick thinking and rescue efforts.

In recognition, Brown was named the 1973 Fire Fighter of the Year. In 1976, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. From 1978 to 1982, Brown spent many off-duty hours on an address-road indexing program for the entire fire district.

Touring by car with family, camping, fishing, and waterfowl hunting were among Brown’s favorite off-duty pursuits as a young husband and father of three boys.

In his lengthy career, Brown served as station commander of the Deer Island substation and treasurer of the St. Helens Firefighters Association. Each Christmas he devoted many hours to the fire department’s Toy and Joy program, picking up donations and delivering gifts for area children. In 1992, the St. Helens Professional Firefighters’ Association, Local 3215, unanimously voted Brown into honorary membership.

Following retirement, Brown bought a mobile industrial washing business, which he operated for a few years before beginning yet another post-retirement career driving for Dalton Trucking in Fontana, Calif.

A second retirement came about in 1991, when he

began earnestly pursing his hobbies of travel, wildlife photography, and videography.

After settling back in St. Helens, Brown continued his volunteerism, driving medical patients to appointments in Portland for the state’s Department of Human Resources. Naomi joined her husband for the trips, and both were recognized for their service in a 1994 letter from President Bill Clinton.

Brown made new friends and enjoyed driving them to Portland until Alzheimer’s disease undermined his ability to drive.

Brown was preceded in death by his father, Kenneth L. Brown of California; mother and stepfather, Pearl and Jack McAllister of St. Helens; brother-inlaw, Carl Larson of Warren; and daughter-in-law, Marcy Brown of St. Helens.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Naomi V. Brown; three sons: Arlen (Pat) Brown of St. Helens, Perry (Tricia) Brown of Scappoose, and David Brown of St. Helens; three sisters: Evelyn (Joe) Baker of Scappoose, Elnora (Rod) Morilon of Mesa, Ariz., and Liona Ambler of St. Helens; brother: Alvin (Connie) Brown of Moreno Valley, Calif.; brother-in-law: Rolf (Donna) Larson of Warren; sister-in-law, Lorene Larson of Warren; grandchildren: Jennifer Houdek of Wilsonville, Kristen (Chris) Pedersen of Houston, Texas, and Jennifer Brown, Christopher (Chantelle) Brown, and Michael Brown, all of St. Helens; great-grandchildren: Kierra Morris of Wilsonville, Logan Page of Columbia City, Braydon and Kelton Houdek of Wilsonville, and Benjamin and Joseph Pedersen of Houston, Texas; special cousins: Richard (Betty) Brown of Rockford, Calif., and Earl (Susana) Howard of Hermiston; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Mon., Jan. 13, at Warren Community Fellowship, 56523 Columbia River Hwy, in Warren. Interment is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. at Skyline Memorial Gardens, 4101 N.W. Skyline

Blvd., in Portland.

Memorial donations in Brown’s name may be sent to the Toy and Joy Program, Columbia River Fire & Rescue Administrative Office, 270 Columbia Blvd., St. Helens, OR 97051.

Mary Ruth Welter Mary Ruth Welter, age 83, was born in Seattle, Wash., on May 8, 1930, to Charles and Regina (Jean) Clegg.

When Mary was seven, her family moved Mary Ruth Welter to the St. Helens area. She was a 1948 graduate of St. Helens High School. She met Lee Welter, they fell in love, and were married on Jan. 15, 1952.

She was a member of the St. Frederic Catholic Church. She loved spending time with family and friends especially at the Welter river property where they had many picnics and campouts. She enjoyed traveling, photography, animals, especially horses, and their kitty, Seneca. She enjoyed many years as a tole painting teacher; sharing her talent with her students.

She dearly loved class time and all the fun she and the students shared. She will always be remembered for her keen sense of humor and intense love of nature.

Mary is survived by her husband, of nearly 63 years, Lee; children Gary of Warren, and Gayle and Gregg of Scappoose; four grandsons, Jason and Jesse Templin, and Derek and Dalton Welter; and four great-grandchildren.

A funeral mass will said at St. Frederic Catholic Church in St. Helens on Friday, Jan. 10, 2014, at 11 a.m., with a luncheon to follow. Private interment will be in the family cemetery in Goble, Ore. Condolences may be made online to the family at columbiafh.com.

Arts and Cultural Commission to host second Sweetheart Ball ST. HELENS — Spoil your significant other with an elegant evening out, including dinner, dancing and entertainment – all without leaving the county. The St. Helens Arts and Cultural Commission is hosting its second annual Sweetheart Ball on Feb. 15. Funds raised from the event will support public art programs and free art education workshops for children.

The Sweetheart Ball offers a romantic night out in St. Helens for Valentine’s Day. There will be a fabulous, foot-happy jazz band and ballroom dancers, a gallery of artisan chocolates, flowers and unique gifts for couples.

The Sweetheart Ball is being hosted at Buccini Hall in St. Helens from 5:30– 10:30 p.m. Early bird tickets purchased

by Jan. 15 are $75 per person or $600 for a table of eight. After Jan. 15, tickets are $85 per person and $680 for a table of eight. Tickets are available at St. Helens City Hall, St. Helens Public Library, and

the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to community projects such as free arts and crafts workshops, the annual 4th of July trash can painting competition, and pumpkin painting for kids, the arts and cultural commission hopes the Sweetheart Ball will raise the remainder of the funds needed for the St. Helens Gateway Sculpture Project.

This art project will be installed at the Milton Creek Bridge on Columbia River Highway. The sculptures, two 22-foot tall obelisk shaped lanterns, will demarcate the highway exit to Columbia Boulevard.

The first Sweetheart Ball was held in February 2013 and raised approximately $8,500 for public art.

For further information regarding the Arts & Cultural Commission Sweetheart Ball, contact ACC Commissioner Kannikar Petersen at 503-366-3050 or by email at kpetersen@akaandesign.com.

Scappoose goes undefeated at home by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

SCAPPOOSE — The Scappoose Indians went 3-0 in a home invitational to take first place in the fourteam tournament.

While there were a handful of competitive matches on the mat throughout the day on Jan. 3, the Indians dominated the overall team scores. Scappoose beat Astoria 5312 in the opening round, then defeated Corvallis 50-27, and closed the day with a 58-24 win over Tigard.

The outing came on the heels of a strong showing at the NW Duals the previous weekend. The string of impressive performances has senior Isaiah Goodrich confident in how his squad is wrestling.

“We’re a good dual team. Last week we did really good – did better than I thought,” Goodrich said.

Goodrich was one of five Indians to win all three of his contested matches. He did so by pinning all three of his opponents in the 182-pound weight class.

As the season nears the midway point, Goodrich said there are still some things Scappoose can improve on though.

“Technique-wise, we can work on being on top, being on bottom.

On our feet we’re pretty good,” he said.

Head coach Jim Jones said that technique is one of the areas the Indians have spent a lot of time on in practice.

“We showed improvement in our down position wrestling, which has been a point of emphasis during our last few practices,” Jones said.

“It was good to see it on the mat.

Scappoose sophomore Braxton Sue won all three of his matches during a home tournament on Jan. 3.

Sometimes you see it in practice and you’re not sure if it will translate to the matches.”

The other Indians to finish the tournament 3-0 in contested bouts were sophomore Braxton Sue, senior Taylor Walden, sophomore Cody Erhardt and junior Johnathan Tardif.

Sue won his first 106-pound match via a 2-0 decision, then won back-to-back matches with secondround pins.

Walden powered through the 132-pound weight class. He won his first match by technical fall against a clearly overmatched opponent. He then pinned his next two opponents

in the first round.

Erhardt won a 9-4 decision against Astoria. He followed that with a pin in the final second of the first round against Corvallis. He closed out his day in the 145-pound division with a major decision against Tigard.

At 182 pounds, Tardif sand-

wiched a technical fall with a pair of first-round pins.

Jones said he wasn’t surprised at how easily the points seemed to come for some of his wrestlers.

Fast break baskets help Senators top the Lions by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — The fast-breaking style of the Madison Senators (6-4) proved too fast for the St. Helens Lions (2-5) to keep up with in the first half on Jan. 4. The Senators sprinted to a 32-18 lead at the break, making 15 of their 16 field goals right at the basket.

St. Helens rallied back in the third quarter behind accurate 3-point shooting. The Lions drained four 3-pointers in the quarter to cut their deficit to a 3-point margin.

Senior Devon Jewett had two of those 3s.

But in the fourth quarter, the Senators rallied around seniors Aubrey Stephens and Austin Powers to put the game out of reach. Those two combined for 19 of Madison’s 23 fourth-quarter points as the Senators went on to win 64-50.

The Lions were hot from 3-point range throughout the second half. Six of St. Helens’ seven team 3s in the game came after intermis-

Tribe takes third in Sisters SISTERS — The Scappoose Indians (4-5) won two of their three games at the Sisters Holiday Tournament to capture third place.

The Indians knocked the host Sisters Outlaws (1-9) into the consolation bracket on Jan. 2 with a 49-36 win.

The Indians were on the wrong end of a 32-0 first-half run against the Philomath Warriors (6-2) in the semifinals. The Warriors capitalized on that surge to take a 53-22 win and earn a spot in the finals, where they beat La Salle (7-2) 45-32.

The third-place game between Scappoose and Henley (5-3) was the closest of the tournament, with the Indians hanging on for

a 49-47 win after a threequarter-court heave from the Hornets rimmed out at the buzzer.

“Overall it was a great trip and will hopefully be a springboard for success as the season goes forward,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts.

Junior Jake Ford’s defensive pressure on the ball jumpstarted Scappoose in the second half of the team’s opener. The Indians led by five points at halftime before forcing the Outlaws into tough shots and turnovers.

Senior Mitch Davis led the team in scoring with 16 points and junior Chase Johnson added 13.

Tufts called the game “a great team win where almost everyone scored.”

Scappoose started out on the right foot against Philomath, taking an early 5-2 lead. Then the Warriors scored 32 unanswered points going into halftime, leaving Tufts frustrated.

“We were turning the ball over, settling for 3-point shots, giving up offensive rebounds,” Tufts said. That led to some vocal messages from the coach at halftime and during timeouts.

“It was in an effort to motivate and snap them out of their funk, and the kids responded well and played See tribe, Page A13

Course opens in St. Helens It’s not finished yet, but the McCormick Park Disc Golf Course is now officially open and playable.

Columbia County’s newest disc golf course debuted with a soft opening on Dec. 28 after a work party to pour the final tee pads and install the 18 baskets.

One of the course’s creators, Jared Fischer, said the course will host its first official PDGA event on March 15, and will hold a grand opening in the weeks leading up to that tournament.

Other additions are also planned for the course.

Currently, small laminated signs placed near the tee pads instruct players where to go next. Fischer said improved tee signs are first on the list of additional improvements.

Benches and a course kiosk are also in the works, and

Volcano Classic expects a big turnout in its third year ST. HELENS — The Third annual Volcano Classic comes to St. Helens Jan. 11-12, and this year’s will be the biggest yet.

Tournament organizer Chris Poorman said 51 youth basketball teams will be playing on five courts throughout the town. Teams will compete at St. Helens High School, St. Helens Middle School, Lewis & Clark School and McBride School.

The tournament serves as a qualifier for both the Ore-

gon and Washington middle school state championships, with the top two teams in each division qualifying for the state tournaments.

Poorman said that the South Columbia Chamber of Commerce, St. Helens Tourism Committee and SHEDCO partnered with the tournament to help coordinate discounts at local businesses for folks in town for the tournament.

Specifically, Poorman said Yo Place, El Tapatio, Les Schwab, Fultano’s, Columbia River PUD

and The Decoy Barn are sponsoring the tournament.

He expects upward of 2,000 people in the area Saturday and Sunday for the tournament. The tournament has entries from the following communities: St. Helens, Scappoose, Rainier, Clatskanie, Longview, Kelso, Woodland, Wahkiakum, Knappa, Aloha, Banks, Ilwaco, Astoria and McMinnville.

Games run from 8 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. both days.

Oregon Trail record is set ST. HELENS — He owns the bowling alley, and now he owns its best series as well.

Last week, Brandon Smith bowled 10 straight strikes in three consecutive games, ending with an 852 series during Oregon Trail Lanes’ Monday night Covered Wagon league.

Smith had individual games of 289, 287 and 276.

That allowed him to break the Oregon Trail Lanes record of 849, set last year by Jason Lower.

Smith’s previous best series was 815. Earlier this season he bowled a 299 game.

Because of the handicap system in place in the Covered Wagon league, however, he lost that game to Jeff Timmons, who bowled a 298 in the same game.

Smith is a co-owner of Oregon Trail Lanes, along with his wife Kellie Smith and his mother-in-law, Lori Kraft.

They have owned and operated the alley since 2010.

TRIBE: captains take charge From PAGE A12 with much more energy in the second half and played better on offense. It was just too much of a deficit to overcome,” he said.

Johnson was the team’s high scorer with five points.

After the game, Tufts and the rest of his coaching staff met with the team captains, imploring them to take on more of a leadership role and help motivate the rest of the squad.

“The next day against Henley our captains Tracy Scruggs, Taylor Loss, Mitch Davis and Chase Johnson stepped up and got our guys going and we came out with a ton of energy on defense and played with heart and played physical against a very physical Henley team,” Tufts said. “Henley is a very good team and we dictated how the game was played and took it to them.”

The Indians built a lead of as much as nine points in the fourth quarter before the Hornets crept back in it.

With five seconds left, Johnson made one of two free throws, giving the Tribe a two-point lead. Henley rebounded his miss and got the ball to its point guard, who heaved a desperation shot from right in front of the Scappoose bench.

“I thought it was going in,” Tufts said. “It hit the backboard and rimmed off the front of the rim. Everyone exhaled and celebrated a great team win.”

Tufts said junior Ethan Marcantonio had his two best games of the season in Scappoose’s two wins, coming up with several blocked shots. He said Scruggs made two crucial free throws against Henley and that sophomore Brennen McNabb was a spark off the bench. McNabb scored 10 in the game against Henley.

He was one of three Indians in double figures, as Davis scored 13 and Johnson had

a dozen.

In addition to the oncourt success Scappoose had, Tufts said the tournament served other purposes as well.

“We had a great time over in Sisters and played some good basketball at the same time. Kids bonded through a pool tournament, video game tournament, hanging out and playing basketball,” he said.

The Tribe returned to the court at home on Jan. 7 with a 7 p.m. game against the Taft Tigers (5-3). Scappoose goes to Central High School (7-1) for a 7 p.m. game on Jan. 10.

Lions are 2-3 at West Albany

NWOC

by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

ALBANY — With a handful of wrestlers missing a Jan. 3 tournament at West Albany High School, the St. Helens Lions still fought their way to a 2-3 record.

St. Helens beat Newport 57-24 and Ridgeview 3628. The Lions’ losses came at the hands of the Thurston Colts (59-21), the Sweet Home Huskies (66-16) and the North Marion Huskies (49-18).

“As many kids as there were injured, sick, or gone on vacation, our team was still competing with everyone. These younger guys are the future coming up,” said St. Helens coach J.R. Jackson.

Jackson said sophomore Jose Silva and freshman Nick Richardson both wrestled well stepping in for their teammates. Silva finished the tournament 2-3 in the 126-pound weight class. Richardson finished the tournament 2-2 alternating with freshman Myles Terry between the 152- and 160-pound weight classes.

“He wrestled phenomenal,” Jackson said about Richardson. “Jose Silva had two tough, tough matches.

The Thurston kid and Sweet Home kid – they were both really good, but he did good against them. Jose really stepped it up. I think he got pinned in both of them, but he lasted a while. They had to earn it.”

Terry remained undefeated, going 5-0 at the tournament. He won twice by fall, twice by major decision and once by decision.

Fellow freshman Haidon Allen was 4-1 wrestling at 120 pounds. He won twice by decision, once by major decision and pinned his Thurston opponent in the second round.

Junior Mario Olmedo went 2-1 in the heavyweight division. He also won via forfeit twice. Jackson said

St. Helens junior heavyweight Mario Olmedo was 2-1 in contested matches on Jan. 3.

Olmedo had a chance to win his final match, which he dropped 5-0.

“Mario the heavyweight, lost one to the kid that was ranked second in 4A,” Jackson said. “In the third round Mario was pressing him. If he would’ve put pressure on him in the second round, I think he could’ve come back and beat him.”

Sophomore Michael Bowen ended the tournament an even 2-2 wrestling at 132 pounds.

All in all, Jackson liked the fact that his team continued to compete against some tough squads.

“They got some experience. They gotta work a little harder in practice.

It was good. Sweet Home kicked our butts. Thurston… they’re tough – tough top to bottom, don’t have a hole in any weight class,” he said.

The Lions will be back in action Jan. 10-11 at the Pac Rim Tournament in Seaside.

Jackson also said he runs a mat club immediately following varsity practices. It is open for all interested wrestlers ages 4-18. It runs from 6-8 p.m. each weeknight that the Lions do not have a meet.
