50 years after the Big Blow BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens High School boasts soccer coaches from three countries other than the USA. They are, from left, Simon Date from England, Daniel Banful from Botswana and Ryoma Ajisawa from Japan.

Igniting passion Coaches from three continents spread their love for soccer at St. Helens High School BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

Melting pot may not be the first term that comes to mind when thinking of St. Helens. Spend some time around the high school soccer fields though, and it just might. Both boys and girls head coaches are from overseas, as is one of the four assistants. That means of the six coaches on staff, four different continents – including North America – are represented. The ultra focused Ryoma Ajisawa has coached at the school three years now after moving to Eugene from Tokyo in 1991 to play soccer at Lane Community College. He is coaching the boys this year after spending two years as the girls head coach. Simon Date and his dry wit

came over from England on Independence Day in 1993 to play at Oregon State University. He became the head girls coach this fall. Daniel Banful is the newest of the group to step foot in St. Helens, arriving on July 4 of this year. His addition as an assistant coach from Gaborone, Botswana – with stops along the way for school in England and some professional soccer in Ghana – provides a voice of deliberate instruction. At more than 10,000 miles, Banful’s trek from southern Africa to St. Helens is the farthest of the trio. All three of them agree, however, that how they see the game here is a long ways away from how they saw it growing up in their home countries. There’s a passion for soccer felt in England or Japan or Botswana that isn’t shared in the United States, where the NFL rules the roost and the NBA and MLB fight for attention as well. That isn’t the case in the homelands of these three men. “Soccer is like breathing to some of us,” Banful said. Date and Ajisawa agreed. When talking with any of the three of them about the sport, passion is a word often repeated. That’s rooted in constantly playing soccer growing up. “Here you guys have three seasons. We don’t have that. It’s just straight soccer – one year, all soccer,” Ajisawa said. That translates to higher skill levels and a need to excel fundamentally in order to play on the competitive club teams. Ajisawa said when he tried out for FC Tokyo, he needed to be able to juggle. He needed to be able to juggle a lot — three sets of 300 juggles. “If you don’t do that, you’re not gonna be in there,” he said. That was needed simply for tryouts. In Botswana, tryouts emphasized conditioning (although Banful said he remembers seeing people easily juggle 100 or more times nonstop). Banful remembered the first three days of tryouts spent running laps around the field in 104-degree temperatures – 34 laps the first day, 40 the second, 20 the last. “We’d train hard,” he said. But they made sure they were ready for soccer tryouts because unlike here, soccer – known as football to the rest of the world – was king. “In England, if you quit football there’s no other option. You can play rugby or cricket, but they’re lame. See COACHES, Page A12

On Oct. 12, Oregon will mark the 50th anniversary of the Columbus Day Storm, known also as “The Big Blow.” The storm was among some of the most powerful storms to hit the Pacific Northwest. It caused widespread damage and was linked to 46 deaths, most in California due to heavy rains and mudslides. St. Helens schoolteacher Olive Moffitt was among the fatalities. Moffitt died on Oct. 13 a Portland hospital from injuries sustained during the storm. Across Oregon, the storm left behind millions of dollars in damage.

A tale of two candidates BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

As part of our ongoing coverage of the 2012 elections, we asked both candidates in the race for Columbia County Sheriff to discuss their plans for the department and what challenges the department faces. Excerpts from those answers are below. The full text of each candidate’s bio and responses to the questions can be found online at TheChronicleOnline.com. The Candidates Jeff Dickerson is currently serving as sheriff and was elected in 2008. He also served with the Oregon State Police for 20 years. Dickerson was appointed by the governor to serve on the State Interoperability Executive Council working to improve radio communications for first responders in the Columbia County region. Dave Fuller has lived in Columbia

County since 1960, graduating from Scappoose High School in 1973. He served as a U.S. Marine, receiving an honorable discharge in 1976. He holds a bachelor’s degree in criminology from Southern Oregon State University. After graduation, he moved to Portland and joined the Portland Police Reserves. He then joined the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office in 1983, where he served until retiring last month.

Also joining the search was the U.S. Coast Guard, which provided a helicopter and boat, local tug boat operators, several private recreational boaters and someone operating a boat provided by the contractor. Wiley’s body has not been recovered but has been presumed drowned. The search was officially See BRIDGE, Page A2

Automotive students invest in school’s future BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Q: If the sheriff's office's annual budget continues to decline, what changes or cuts would you make to patrol, administration and or jail services?

ST. HELENS — For the past several years, students from the St. Helens High School automotive skills program have been saving their pennies (and nickels, quarters and dimes). Now, they’re putting those savings to work for themselves and for future automotive students. According to automotive teacher Mike Herdrich, the students are taking $8,000 from their savings to help purchase a new hoist, which was recently installed. The hoist is valued at $25,000.

STORM: gusts over 100 mph From PAGE A1 and wobble with the wind. The storm also held reign over the front page of The Chronicle Sentinel-Mist for several days. It all started with tropical storm Freda 500 miles from Wake Island in the central Pacific Ocean, the remnants of what had been a typhoon. As the tropical storm moved into colder waters and the jet stream, Freda reformed into a cyclone that would eventually register winds equal to a category 3 hurricane. “Keep in mind that in 1962 there were no weather satellites. Weather forecasters relied heavily on offshore ship reports, limited first generation weather buoys and land observations along the coasts of California, Oregon and Washington to warn of incoming storms,” said Pierce. Picking up moisture along the way, the storm dropped record rainfalls across the San Francisco Bay area and delayed some of the 1962 World Series games. The most notable feature of the Columbus Day Storm was the wind. With gusts frequently clocked in excess of 100 mph. As Freda headed north, it passed within 75 miles of Astoria, bringing with it even higher wind gusts. “At the very moment that the storm passed the same latitude as a given point such as Portland, an immense burst of wind followed the front that was associated with it,” said Pierce At the Mount Hebo Air Force Station south of Tillamook, wind gusts pegged out at 130 mph – the highest reading the equipment could register at that time. Damage to the radar dome at the Air Force Station suggests winds actually topped 170 mph. “The storm raged from Friday night into early Saturday morning before the pressure gradient finally relented,” said Piece. “When it was all said and done, the Columbus Day Storm caused nearly $250 million in damage (in 1962 dollars) and fell an amazing 10 billion board feet of timber.” That’s equal to $1.8 billion in today’s dollars. The Oregon Historical Society is now looking to document personal stories and recollections on what happened on that day in 1962.

BRIDGE: family SHERIFF: both aim for safety within budget has been notified From PAGE A1 with our partners and to apply for grants and other revenue that has brought more outside funding into the Sheriff’s Office than ever before. Fuller: My first priority is to keep the citizens of Columbia County safe. I will diligently work to attain alternative funding to operate the Sheriff's Office to its fullest potential. I would start with budget reductions within the administration. I would look at the financial impact of all administrative positions and begin with a top down reduction. I will seek to revive partnerships to reacquire the Sauvie Island deputy, domestic violence deputy and truck inspector positions. Q: How will you balance dwindling resources against the demand and need for public safety? Dickerson: As resources shrink, the importance of finding efficiencies in our operation cannot be overstated. What we have done

with our call triage system has made it possible to cover more calls by phone (saving money in fuel costs and time in driving hours), and reserving time for deputies to be available for the most urgent matters, making sure that every call for service is covered one way or another. Fuller: I will work proactively in maintaining current resources and build upon needed partnerships and relationships to work cooperatively and collaboratively with all agencies and cities. Having visible deputies on the road can be a huge crime deterrent and as sheriff, I also will be responding to calls. I would like to have enough reserve deputies in the patrol and corrections divisions to be able to have each in a vehicle with every full-time deputy. Q: What is the most pressing issue facing the Columbia County Sheriff's Office currently? Dickerson: I am work-

ing to minimize the effects of future cuts by finding efficiencies and working to find additional outside revenue. I continue to build our volunteer program with trained reserve deputies and non-uniformed volunteers in civil and search and rescue services. Untrained volunteers in uniform cannot begin to fill the void left by trained deputies. The better plan is continue to find efficiencies in our system and empower our highly trained staff to perform at optimum levels. Fuller: I believe the most pressing issue the Sheriff's Office faces today is the dwindling budget and lack of mutual cooperation and partnerships between the other agencies and cities within Columbia County. I am well aware of the budget problems of the Sheriff's Office and have been working under these conditions for the past 29 years and have seen many past sheriffs struggle to maintain personnel and service to the community.

From PAGE A1 suspended at about 2:15 p.m. Cowlitz County dive and rescue crews were on scene but they were not deployed due to the hazards in the immediate section of the river. This site was at the mid-span section of the bridge. Sheriff's deputies conducting the investigation inspected the site and interviewed people who were on the bridge working in the area where the worker fell. They said that the missing man was working on a platform directly under the bridge when one of the workers looked over and saw Wiley fall from the bridge.

According to the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office, there is nothing at the site where the worker fell from to indicate how or why Wiley’s safety equipment, which he was wearing, did not prevent the fall. Coworkers describe Wiley as being very safety conscious and experienced at bridge work. Wiley’s family in Pennsylvania has been notified of his presumed death. The Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office is continuing to investigate the incident and asks that anyone who was out on the river and may have seen something related to the investigation to call (360) 577-3092.

STUDENTS: last piece of equpiment expected in the next month From PAGE A1 benefitting from the donation of alignment equipment, also valued at $25,000, by the Les Schwab Tire Store in St. Helens. “I would consider this state of the art equipment,” said Herdrich. “And this is what I need to be teaching my students and this is what they’re going to be expected to be familiar with when they get to [Portland Community College] or into a shop.” Herdich said the equipment will also give the students a real world chance to use the math and science behind the measurements being made with the equipment. With the hoist now installed, next comes providing power to the equipment. Herdrich estimates the cost to run power to the equipment to be around $1,000. He hopes the school district will be able to cover the cost. In a couple of weeks, Herdrich expects the final piece - the alignment equipment – to be installed as well. This isn’t the only real world practice the students have had lately. Columbia River Fire & Rescue brought its portable fire trailer to the school to give the students an opportunity practice extinguishing fires. Herdrich said it is handson practice like this that helps students be better prepared for working in a shop or even on the students’ own vehicles.

String of fires highlight need for safety

Cabin fire BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Columbia River Fire & Rescue crews have been called to several fires over the past week. Luckily, no one has been injured, although Fire Chief Jay Tappan said the recent spate of fires should remind everyone of the need for safety during the existing dry spell. Related photos are pictured clockwise from the top left. On Oct. 4, crews were called to a small cabin with an attached trailer in the area of Tide Creek and Maplecrest roads in the Deer Island / Rainier area at around 10 a.m. Upon arrival, firefighters found both the cabin and trailer, which belonged to Sean Fields, fully engulfed. According to Tappan, Fields’ two children, ages 4 and 6, were being watched by adult caregiver LeeAnn Jensen, 22, of St. Helens, who left the children unattended briefly. During that time, the two were playing with a stove and started a small fire in the cabin which quickly spread to the trailer. The children and Jensen were able to get out of the cabin and trailer safely. The cabin and the trailer were deemed a complete loss. Fields was at work and was not home at the time of the fire. Jensen was later arrested and booked into the Columbia County Jail on an outstanding felony warrant from an unrelated charge. Lt. Dustin Hald with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office said the district attorney’s office is reviewing the case and Jensen has been charged with two counts of reckless en-

dangering related to the fire. While crews were working to extinguish the blaze, strong winds carried embers south of the home and started a small grass fire, which spread to about 50 feet by 50 feet and was extinguished around noon. The following day, CRF&R was called to a structure fire on Pittsburg Road in the Yankton area. The fire destroyed a 3,000square-foot barn with about 4,000 bales of hay. The fire also spread to a nearby grassy area and activated the Columbia County Task Force (all fire agencies in County), which brought in a helicopter for water drops. The Oregon Department of Forestry also brought in a South Fork convict firefighting crew. According to Division Chief Brian Burright, a good response by all those who responded prevented the fire from damaging other structures or getting into the heavy timber. The cause of the fire has not been determined yet but witnesses said the fire did start in the barn. A wild land fire on Oct. 6 on Smith Road near Yankton was caused by the use of a chainsaw and burned one to two acres and was well contained by crews from CRF&R, Scappoose and ODF. The most recent of the fires was reported on Oct. 8. CRF&R responded to 67774 Orr Road in Goble at around 2:15 p.m. to find a fully involved shop, approximately 1,500 square feet, with surrounding natural cover threatened. The closest structure to the fire was the home of Larry Ehlers, who owned the property, and was approximately

patched from Scappoose, Clatskanie and CRF&R to supply the needed water for the suppression efforts.

LETTERS A real Democrat Recently, I was approached by a Democratic activist regarding my support for keeping Tony Hyde as our Columbia County Commissioner. Recognizing that he was speaking to a fellow Democrat, he made the unfortunate comment that, “If I was a real Democrat, I would vote for the Democrat in the race.” This is a sad comment on so many levels. First, this is a nonpartisan election. I happen to know Tony Hyde very well, and, yes, Tony and I do not agree on many national issues. The nice thing about local politics is that these issues do not intrude. We are free to vote for the most energetic, competent and effective leader we can find without the intrusion of the divisive national political debates. My husband and I have both been active Columbia County volunteers for more than 30 years. During that time neither one of us has encountered a more hardworking, knowledgeable or effective county commissioner. Tony continues to work hard to bring jobs and good governance to Columbia County. We encourage you all to vote to retain Tony Hyde as our Columbia County Commissioner. Kim Tierney, Vernonia Positive direction Columbia County has persevered through tough economic times due in large part to the tireless energy of County Commissioners Earl Fisher and Tony Hyde. While other counties in a similar situation have considered filing bankruptcy, Earl and Tony have pursued solutions to address the problems within our county. Earl has worked with partners to bring new business to Columbia County such as ORPET and PGE’s new power plant at Port Westward; convened meetings between the county and the cities to search how shared cost opportunities to reduce overall costs for everyone; been instrumental in establishing the Highway 30 safety corridor; and supported efforts to get driver safety programs into our schools. Tony has made sure that Columbia County has been represented at the table on local, state and national efforts such as economic development; timber policy; development of the governor’s 2013-15 budget; emergency management; and disaster preparedness. I urge you to vote for Earl and Tony so that Columbia County can continue in a positive direction. Casey Wheeler, Columbia City Conflicted I am very concerned about the absolute conflict of interest that Rich Cook of COLPAC (Columbia Pacific Resource Conservation and Economic Development Dis-

Opinion THE CHRONICLE

U SPEEDBUMP

trict) is showing by taking a job as commercial loan officer for St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union. This is a direct conflict of interest to his original position with COLPAC. How does Wauna Federal Credit Union or the other banks in our community get a fair balance? It would be nice to know what ratio of loans have gone through with St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union and other banks while Mr. Cook has worked at COLPAC. I am also shocked that the director of COLPAC is permitting this action. Samuel Clemens, St. Helens Greedy sport fisherman Reading about Ballot Measure 81, which would eliminate small family commercial fishing from the main stem of the Columbia River, I have been struck by three things: First – why is a Texas -based group, Coastal Conservation Association, trying to buy our river? Second – what is the real motive behind the people putting up the money for this ballot measure? Third – why is the current equitable allocation of fish as set by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission not enough for the greedy sport fisherman? Measure 81 gives the 6 percent of Oregonians who have salmon fishing licenses 100 percent of the salmon in the main part of the river. Vote no on Ballot Measure 81 and keep Columbia River salmon available for all. For more info go to NoMeasure81.com. Ted Messing, Astoria Fuller will do the job I am writing this letter in support of Dave Fuller who is running for the position of Columbia County Sheriff. Dave has been a highly respected deputy sheriff in Columbia County for over 29 years, serving under sheriffs Bruce Oester, George Hulit, and Phil Derby, prior to Dickerson. Dave served two years in the Marine Corps from 1974 to 1976. He then went four years at Southern Oregon College (now SOU) earning a bachelor’s degree in criminology. I and a lot of other people in Columbia County are very disappointed with the smear campaign that is being used by Sheriff Dickerson against Dave Fuller. Dickerson has used the Spotlight and The Chronicle very effectively to give himself a launching pad to promote his campaign tactics. On April 27, my residence on Westlane Road was broken into. I lost 12 guns, ammunition, old coins and lots of other quick-sale items. After calling 9-1-1 to the sheriff’s department three times and waiting hours for a response, I was told this was not a priority call. Stolen guns and ammo not a priority? I was able to obtain the names of the meth and heroin addicts that robbed me and gave them to the sheriff’s department.

DAVE COVERLY

None have been charged with the burglaries as yet, and none will be, I’m sure, after Dickerson reads this letter. I’ve have been broken into twice since April 27, Without arrests and convictions burglaries will continue to be an ongoing problem for residences in rural Columbia County. I do not blame the deputies who I’ve worked with. I blame the policies of incumbent Sheriff Dickerson. In conclusion, Dave Fuller is honest, he has integrity, he has ethics, he knows how the sheriff’s office needs to be run. He will do the job we elect him for. Dave Molony, Scappoose Investigation needed As reported to me on or about March 12, Undersheriff Moyer and two deputies were flying from Salt Lake City, Utah to Portland after attending a workshop. Before boarding the plane in Salt Lake City, all three stopped at Squatters Pub inside the airport to have lunch. Undersheriff Moyer and one deputy consumed two alcoholic beverages and the other deputy had a cola. They then left that pub and went to a second bar where Moyer and the same deputy consumed two more alcoholic beverages. When they left the bar, prior to boarding the flight, all three went to the terminal and Moyer and the deputy stated they were going back to the bar. It is unknown how many more alcoholic beverages they consumed while at the bar for the third time. Before arriving in Portland, the deputy who had not consumed alcohol was asked if he would be able to drive the county car back to St. Helens since he doesn’t drink alcohol. It seemed that Moyer was admitting that he and the other deputy were too impaired to drive. The deputy who had not been drinking said he was unable to drive because he had a relative picking him up at the airport. The flight from Salt Lake City to Portland is just over an hour. It’s not known who drove the county car back to St. Helens, either Moyer or the deputy, both of whom had been drinking. The sheriff recently stated that he needed to respond to a “serious matter” concerning Dave Fuller, who was driving his personal vehicle. The sheriff also stated, “If someone admits to driving and drinking and crashed his car, we are going to investigate that.” Although Moyer and the deputy did not have an accident, one of the two was driving the county car from the airport after having had a number of drinks. When the deputy who hadn’t been drinking arrived at the sheriff’s office, Moyer was not there, but the deputy who rode with him was at the office along with the county car. You would think the sheriff would want to have this serious allegation investigated. The non-drinking deputy

did report this incident in writing to the human resources department. The questions to be answered are: was the complaint forwarded from human resources to the sheriff? If not, why? Has this, or will it be investigated? Will Moyer and the deputy be placed on administrative leave as Fuller was? Will this be swept under the rug? This is obviously a personnel matter that Dickerson needs to look into. Fuller had the backbone, honesty and integrity to stand up and admit what happened. Will the sheriff, Moyer or the deputy have the same honesty and integrity? Joseph Manuel, Scappoose Support Fuller I am writing regarding the current campaign for Columbia County Sheriff. It is apparent that the local papers have picked their candidate. Articles against Mr. Fuller are being written based off of information gathered from the sheriff’s office. As any up-to-date voter is aware, the sheriff’s office roughly translates to Sheriff Dickerson, the opponent of Mr. Fuller and a biased source of information. On the subject of the current investigation – it seems to me that the sheriff’s department and Oregon State Police combined just might come to some conclusion on this major six-month investigation over a $250 ticket for not filing an accident report. I can see where the suspense and your sensationalizing the unproven allegations against Mr. Fuller is a continued effort to discredit him in his campaign for sheriff. The local papers have

failed to mention that Dave Fuller is a lifelong resident of Columbia County other than his military service, or that he is a family man with a wife and children, or his commendations and awards during his 29 years of service with the sheriff’s department. Dickerson has tried to scare people – residents that vote – to vote for his levy by stating that the sheriff’s department would only be able to field one deputy per shift in the entire county. Shortly after that levy failed, while I was on the river, Columbia County had two boats with two deputies in each. Later in St. Helens, I saw two cars and a pickup with deputies in each, all on the same day from St. Helens to the Sauvie Island Bridge. He also stated that deputies would not be able to answer 9-1-1 calls, so residents would have to arm and protect themselves – in other words – you’re on your own. Since Dickerson has become sheriff, it would appear as though being an Oregon State Police officer is a prerequisite to be sheriff or deputy. Currently four officers (including Dickerson and Undersheriff Moyer) in the department have chosen the county over the benefits, wages and “prestige” of being with the OSP. In closing, Dave Fuller has 29 years of experience as a Columbia County deputy to bring with him to the position of Columbia County Sheriff. Let’s reclaim our Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

Northwest for more than a decade on their way to an export terminal near Vancouver, B.C. Have you ever seen or been affected by the “toxic coal dust” that some point to as a reason to oppose export terminals in Oregon? Coal companies have agreed to add a spray coating to rail cars to stop dust near the mine site where it is a problem and it seems that dust is no longer an issue of concern. It’s time to move beyond scare tactics. Let’s discuss the facts instead, like the fact that the $200 million Port Westward Project will create 150 family-wage construction jobs and 80 familywage terminal jobs. Those are things with a real impact that you actually can see. Mike Bodendorfer, Portland Vote Barnes I strongly favor Oregon’s Lew Barnes. I have talked many times with Lew Barnes, and have found him to be very personable, open, and knowledgeable for the job of State Representative in Oregon’s District 31, for which he is running. Lew Barnes is a former U.S. Marine, and worked as a salaried leader in several companies until he started his own company in 1988. I like his sharp intellect and ideas that our district needs today that contrasts the current incumbent, who always votes for new spending, voting for over $2 billion in new spending the last two years without considering the heavy costs. We have a crisis on spending without anything worthwhile to show for it. Vote for new responsible See LETTERS, Page A6

Letters From PAGE A5 governing, and elect Lew Barnes, state representative for Oregon District 31. Terry Salo, Clatskanie Bad news Adding eight furlough days to district schools is bad news. The necessity to do so is not, however, a result of reduced state funding for education. In 2009, with Democrats holding a supermajority, $375 million dollars was indeed cut from the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education budget. But in 2010, a more politically balanced state legislature added $216 million dollars to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requested funding for schools. Unfortunately, the situation will only get worse. Growing PERS costs have already resulted in deep school budget cuts and in September, the Oregon PERS Board mandated a massive increase in PERS payments by government employers at every level. Legislators like Rep. Brad Witt, who have spent their entire professional lives representing unions, are blocking Republican efforts to reform PERS. Instead they vote to increase taxes to fund PERS. Those

taxes depress the economy and lower state revenues. The downward spiral will not end until we elect people like Knute Buehler and Lew Barnes, who are strongly committed to reforming PERS. End furlough days by electing Knute Buehler and Lew Barnes. Chana Cox, Skyline Ridge Dickerson at the top I cannot recall exactly how long ago it was that I first met Jeff Dickerson as a young trooper with Oregon State Police. I was a sergeant with OSP and I do remember first impressions. Jeff impressed me as exceedingly wise, honest, intelligent and was a genuinely likeable person overall. I was impressed by his demeanor and sharp appearance. I knew then that Jeff was he kind of person who would someday make a mark in the law enforcement profession. When I returned to live in Columbia City some 10 years ago, I was privileged to once again work as a temporary trooper alongside Jeff at the St. Helens office. He was still the image of a very sharp and knowledgeable state trooper. I have to say I was a little disappointed when he left OSP and ran for Columbia County Sheriff

taking one other highly skilled senior trooper, Andy Moyer, with him to serve as his undersheriff. But I also knew that Columbia County would be the better for it. I have followed Jeff Dickersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earnest attempts to improve law enforcement in the county. From what I can see as an outsider now, he is doing a great job with limited resources. I have never heard anything negative about Jeff as a person or as a law enforcement official. Columbia County can do no better than to retain Sheriff Dickerson. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Deputy Fuller but if his rambling diatribe posted in the paper, explaining his actions, is any indication of his communication skills, Columbia County cannot afford him as top law enforcement officer. I realize he is under fire on several fronts but there are times when it is better to keep oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thoughts private or at least organized if you are going to post a letter for all the public to read. Joe Schwab, Columbia City Re-elect Dickerson Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m voting to re-elect Jeff Dickerson as our sheriff. Sheriff Dickerson came into office four years ago, and immediately began to make a huge difference in the Columbia County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Of-

fice. His support for the employees and their families, including a year-end celebration of their accomplishments every year, told me that this sheriff values more than just what an employee brings to the job. Sheriff Dickerson invests in the lives of the individuals who work for him and makes them feel that he believes in them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and I know that he actually does! He made me feel valued as a spouse of a long time sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office employee in ways that I had not sensed before. On many occasions he has invested that extra effort to let the family members of deputies and other employees know that he recognizes the unique sacrifices made by a law enforcement memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family. Special recognition at sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office events, letters to spouses of deputies who have been away from home far too long and too often, and the kindness he has shown to those he has had to let go are just some of the ways that make Sheriff Dickerson a great leader. I hope Columbia County voters will see what most people see when they walk through the doors of the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. If they do, they will vote again for our sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jeff Dickerson. Kelly Carpenter, Scappoose

OBITUARIES Iris May Langdon Iris May Langdon died on Sept. 26 without pain or distress. Iris was born on Feb. 1, 1927, near Island City, Ore., in the Grande Ronde Valley, to Clarence and Prudence Carter. She was raised in Island City, along with her sisters, on a wheat farm. She attended to school in Washington and later married Lester Langdon. The couple then moved to Scappoose. Iris and Lester contracted school buses to the school district, had a hardware store in Scappoose and had a busy pump sales and repair business. She was very active in the Order of Eastern Star and belonged to the First Congregational Church in Scappoose, before moving to Belize in Central America. She lived in Belize for over 10 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and she dearly loved it there.

She returned to the United States in 1991, first to Portland and then to Scappoose. She belonged to Plymouth Presbyterian Church in St Helens. She enjoyed knitting, macramĂŠ, rock hounding and sewing. She was definitely a farm girl at heart. In her later years Iris lived at Jennings McCall Center, the Masonic and Eastern Star Home in Forest Grove. They loved her there because she was always pleasant with a great sense of humor. She is survived by her daughter, Judy Gilbert of Scappoose, and older sister Evelyn Johnstone and her husband George. She was preceded in death by her sister, Dorothy Jean. A memorial service will be held on Oct. 11, beginning at noon, at Plymouth Presbyterian Church, which is one block behind the Burgerville Restaurant on Highway 30 in St Helens.

Pray for O ur Nat ion “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Faith, courage and prayer birthed our great nation and guided America through more than 200 years of wars, natural and national crisis. Prayer is a freedom guaranteed to us by our Constitution, and a God-given right to all humanity. The opportunity to pray is a privilege, honor and sacred duty. History has proven that forces will wage war against our freedom. Terrorism has shed blood on American soil. Violent crime has invaded American homes and schools. Drugs and alcohol abuse rage against the innocence of our youth. Forces of darkness threaten our morality, integrity and faith. Prayer for our nation is our defense. Now is the time to be resolute in our defiance against the forces of destruction-to unite and not succumb to fear. Americans must stand strong and remain bold in faith, courage and prayer. The nation needs your prayers. The President, his advisors, congress and all local and national leaders need your prayers. Often people are unsure how to pray. It is the sincerity of the heart that determines a successful prayer, not the length, eloquence, or level of vocabulary. Make a commitment to pray daily for your nation. Minutes can change crisis into hope when you take the time to pray. Your Heavenly Father is listening. He loves you and this nation. A PRAYER FOR: Peace Dear Father, I clearly see that it is Your will for us to dwell in peace and safety. In obedience to your Word, I continue to pray, in the name of the Lord Jesus, that those in authority will make decisions to keep our nation safe, just as I pray for peace in other nations. I pray our nation would be a blessing to Israel, that we might continue to be blessed. I pray that the righteousness of our nation would continue to finance the preaching of the Gospel in all the world. I pray that our sending and our giving would increase. May our nation continue to help nations that are in trouble and are less fortunate than we are. I ask You to make our nation a blessing to all the nations of the earth.
