Candidates prep for elections BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

In our continuing coverage of local elections, we look at county commissioner candidates Wayne Mayo, who is running for PosiWayne Mayo tion No. 1, and current commissioner Tony Hyde, who is running for Position No. 3. Tony Hyde We asked each candidate four questions about the county’s economy, budget and their positions on the proposed coal export projects. For the full answers to all four questions and the candidate bios, go online to TheChronicleOnline.com. Q: If Columbia County experiences a shortfall for the next fiscal year's budget, what cuts or changes would you propose to balance the budget? Mayo: There’s no “if” about it. The shortfall is here. The reason? Diminishing property tax receipts, timber receipts, and a budget-busting 45 percent increase in PERS retirement liability starting in 10 weeks. I disagree with short-term solutions like last year’s decision to move $200,000 from county parks to the general fund. This left a gap-

100 jobs lost “with closing of Boise plant

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

Boise Inc. announced on Oct. 16 it would shut down operations on its one remaining machine come Dec. 31.

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Last week’s announcement that Boise Inc. will permanently shut down its one remaining paper machine at the company’s St. Helens paper mill came as little surprise to some, a shock to others. But the impacts of the closing will be felt throughout the community. Shutting down the H2 machine will result in the loss of an estimated 105 jobs. Production on the machine will end Dec. 31. “This is a difficult but necessary decision to focus our efforts and resources on the products and machines elsewhere in our system that drive the financial performance and cash flow of our paper operations,” said Alexander Toeldte, president and chief executive officer of Boise Inc., in a statement. The closing of the plant comes nearly four years after the company laid off 300 mill workers in November of 2008, citing rising costs for wood fiber, energy and chemicals in its production as contributing factors. Boise shut down paper machines 1 and 4 at that time. “This is not good news by any stretch,” said Columbia County Commissioner Tony Hyde. The commissioners met with Boise executives on

Despite the dedication and hard work of our employees, we have concluded the machine cannot compete in the marketplace over the long-term. We thank all of our employees, customers, suppliers, and the community who have supported this operation over so many years.” Alexander Toeldte President and CEO, Boise Inc.

Oct. 16, the same day the announcement was made. “It seems that their perspective is that they are changing their product line. They have decided they are no longer going to be in the paper business. They’re going to put all their focus on cardboard.” Hyde said the value of the property, with its access to rail and a deep-water port, is not lost on Boise. “They have already committed to purposing that property as soon as possible. There is some ray of hope on the horizon,” Hyde said. Cascade Tissue Group will continue to operate a paper-making machine at Boise's St. Helens mill. “Despite the dedication and hard work of our employees, we have concluded the machine cannot compete in the marketplace over the

long-term. We thank all of our employees, customers, suppliers, and the community who have supported this operation over so many years. We will work closely with our customers and suppliers to ensure a smooth transition," Toeldte said. Eligible salaried employees will be offered severance packages and outplacement assistance. Negotiations will be scheduled with the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers Union (AWPPW) Local 1 to determine the effect for union employees. “We are going to be meeting with Boise, with their human resources department, to set up some orientation sessions. We’re ready to do that as soon as possible,” said Karin Miller, county manager for MTC

Works. “At that time, we will survey the employees and see what they would like. Are they interested in training funds, do they just want help with applications and resumes or getting registered in iMatch? Then we will design some services around those surveys.” Miller also said the agency will begin to look for funding to provide those services. “We’re going to be looking at going to the state and to the federal government for training dollars if there’s enough interest,” she said. In third quarter 2012, Boise recognized approximately $31 million of pretax costs related to ceasing operations at the mill. This includes approximately $7 million of employee-related and other costs, most of which it expects to pay in early 2013; approximately $10 million of cash costs for future site remediation, which the company expects to pay out over a longer term; and approximately $14 million in non-cash charges related primarily to the impairment of property, plant, and equipment. For many in the county, this latest closure only highlights the need to bring in new businesses and new jobs to Columbia County. “We’re always talking to people interested in moving out here to CoSee BOISE, Page A3

Tax roll has few surprises BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Property tax bills have begun appearing in homeowners’ mailboxes. This year’s tax roll saw an increase of just over $1 million. The total tax to be collected this year is $55.98 million as compared to $54.91 million for the 2011-12 tax year. The list of Columbia County’s top taxpayers saw few changes. While the majority of those on the county’s top 20 taxpayers list were also on last year’s top 20 list, there were a few changes. The top 20 taxpayers represent about $8.51 million. That’s up by about 2.5 percent from last year’s $8.28 million.

These 20 taxpayers also represent a total assessed value of $861 million. That’s compared to $927 million in real market values. Not on the list this year is Brix Maritime Company, Enerfin Resources, and the Qwest Corporation. These three companies represented about $360,000 in taxes. Three companies added to the top 20 list this year were Bascom Pacific, CenturyLink and Northwest Aggregates, representing about $477,000 in taxes. The county’s top five taxpayers are: Northwest Natural ($1.9 million); U.S. Gypsum ($1.26 million); Portland General Electric ($1.08 million); Armstrong World Industries ($521,000) and Longview Timberlands ($503,000).

Noticeably absent from that list of the top five is Boise White Paper, which recently announced it was closing its H2 mill and reducing more than 100 jobs come Dec. 31. Boise was in eighth place last year with $299,000 in taxes and in ninth place this year with $302,000 in taxes.

Head-on crash injures four

A head-on crash between a 1995 Ford F150 truck and a 1990 Mazda Protegé resulted in four people being injured.

Oregon State Police is continuing its investigation into a two-vehicle, head-on crash along U.S Highway 30 near Rainier on Oct. 20. The crash resulted in critical injuries to one person and injuries to four others, including two children. Around 10:30 p.m., a 1995 Ford F150 pickup driven by Nathan Edward Reeves, 37, of St. Helens, was southbound on Highway 30 near milepost 44 when he apparently attempted to pass another vehicle and collided head-on with a northbound 1990 Mazda Protegé driven by Jacquelyn Bouchard, 25, from Longview. Reeves, who was not using safety restraints, was transported to Oregon Health & Science University, where he is listed in critical condition. Bouchard and three of her four passengers were injured and transported to area hospitals. The injured three passengers are identified as right front passen-

ger Andrew B. Perry, 29, from Longview; Monica B. Perry, 7; and, Aahlyah Marie Perry, 6. Their injuries do not appear to be life-threatening. The fourth passenger, a 2-year old girl in a child safety seat, was not injured. The two adults and two children were using safety restraints or in a child booster seat. The three children were in the rear seating positions. OSP troopers from the St. Helens and Astoria offices are continuing the investigation. Alcohol is being investigated as a contributing factor on the part of driver Reeves. OSP was assisted at the scene by local fire personnel and officers from Columbia County Sheriff's Office, Rainier Police Department, Clatskanie Police Department, and Oregon Department of Transportation. Highway 30 was closed at the crash scene until 2 a.m.

From PAGE A1

ping hole in the parks budget. Long-term solutions must be the subject. If the current perfect storm of economic conditions teaches us anything, it’s that we can no longer build future budgets anticipating an economic model that no longer exists. Typically labor contract negotiations have led to the firing of the last hired and the reduction in service days. I want to stop laying off the last hired, reducing services, and deferring maintenance. There must be other longterm solutions. Perhaps developing Columbia County mining royalties similar to Alaska’s oil royalties could be discussed. A $5.20 increase in the depletion fee per truckload of gravel would net $800,000/year now and double that when the economy picks up. Development at Port Westward would be a genuine benefit to the county budget. Even more significantly, it would demonstrate a willingness to welcome industry back to the county. Hyde: We have already started to prepare for another tight budget year. Our strategy for creating a budget that can still deliver services is twofold. First, we are putting the bulk of the federal forest payment that we will be receiving in December into re-

serve for next year. Second, we must be vigilant to insure that no more cuts to Counties come from the next state legislative session. We must work diligently to find a solution to the federal forest issue that will resolve federal forest management, and return jobs and revenue to Columbia County. Fully funded, Columbia County would receive $2.4 million dollars in the SRS program. That alone would wipe out any budget shortfall for FY13-14. This will not be our first year of belt tightening and, certainly, it will not be our last. Like many family budgets in Columbia County right now, we simply will have to weather the economic downturn, while trying to provide the best service possible. There have been suggestions that we should raise taxes and fees. Again, understanding that the economic downturn is affecting us all, this is simply not an option worth considering. Long term, we must continue to increase the value of the county and find a way to reform PERS.

Q: Do you support either the Kinder Morgan or Ambre Energy coal export terminal proposed projects? Why? Mayo: Kinder Morgan isn’t yet convinced it will be profitable for them so this may be a lively discussion

about nothing. The Port of St. Helens has wisely put a tonnage charge on coal transported via rail which can be used to upgrade crossings, overpasses, glassed in overpasses for bikes, whatever the four effected towns agree they need. If Kinder Morgan rail decides on the Port of Astoria, we get nothing except traffic. Ambre Energy’s barging proposal is a much better fit; good jobs, financial benefits, and barges built by hires recruited at job fairs offered in Columbia County. If Taiwan, South Korea, and Singapore continue with current suppliers, the Pacific Ocean air and water sheds will grow increasingly polluted with dangerous trace minerals. They won’t stop importing coal. Powder River coal has far lower sulfur, arsenic and mercury (recently the WSJ reported that China was bringing a new coal electric plant on line one a week). The National Council on Compensation Insurance has set the rate on those who onload/offload coal at $4.98/$100 of payroll, 40 percent the $11.93/$100 paid by grain, gravel, or wheat handlers. These rates are followed by 48 states including Oregon. Should we outlaw grain, gravel, and wheat because it’s considered more dangerous to health by those who truly know?

Hyde: Coal. I have said from the beginning that I would have to see “five smiling mayors in tow” before I could even consider the proposal. By that I mean that coal trains would have to have broad community support across the county, and, frankly, I think that is unattainable. Our rail system is single tracked and, in its current condition, very close to capacity. We are working hard to create more jobs in Columbia County and even though the proposal would create jobs, I believe in the long run it would be short sighted. We shouldn’t mortgage our remaining capacity to move freight for our current and future for traded sector industries, not to mention our livability, for the sake of a few jobs now. As for the barge proposal, if they can meet Oregon’s high standards and prevail in the stringent federal permitting and regulatory process, then I could support it. Especially with the addition of 105 family wage jobs, support for local schools and more property tax revenue.

Food for thought: Conveniently National Food Day BY VALERIE WALKER For The Chronicle

The Chronicle welcomes our newest columnist, Valerie Walker, food systems coordinator at the Columbia Pacific Food Bank. Valerie will be providing insightful and essential information about the foods we eat, where they come from and what we should know about them. Right now I’m eating some “Flamin’ Hot Cheetos” and they’re delicious. Chester Cheeto is sliding across the picture with flames coming off the soles of his shoes, he’s holding a giant Cheeto, breathing fire and appears to be lovin’ it. I’m lovin’ them, too. They are everything I want them to be. Crunchy, savory, a little tangy and not hot at all, but they have a certain kick to them that makes me feverishly shove one after another into my mouth. I know I shouldn’t eat too many because they’re bad for me, but I’m hungry/bored and want to eat the whole “new bigger size” bag. As I try to restrain myself by rolling closed the bag (for the third time in 10 minutes) and lick my fingers I skip over the nutrition facts (I already know they’ll make me fat) and look at the block of text that is the ingredients list. I’m curious to see what foodstuffs I’m actually eating. The front of the bag describes the delectable morsels inside as “Cheese Flavored Snacks.” I understand the words “cheese” and “flavor” but the word “snack” is

where things get a little murky for me. A snack could be anything: A few carrots, a small sandwich, popcorn, a cup of pudding, a handful of grapes, a couple Valerie Walker bites off of last night’s pot roast sitting in the frig… what is a snack? It turns out that those crunchy caveman club-shaped “snacks” of fried goodness are made of “enriched corn” which is then followed by a parenthetical list of unpronounceable words. My eyes lock on the next word I can read, “vegetable oil.” Turns out vegetable oil is a cocktail of oils made of many veggies. I’m ok with that, though. Oil is oil, right? The next ingredient is my favorite: “Flamin’ Hot Seasoning.” I skip past all of this. Three-quarters of the ingredient list is filled with all sorts of colors (colors as ingredients?), science-y words and a plethora of dairy derived ingredients; all the way to the bottom of the square of innards that ends with “and salt.” I’m amused that this is the last, presumably least used, ingredient since salt was said about a dozen different ways before we got to “and salt.” I look at the words “natural flavor” and “sodium diacetate” that are mixed in and wonder what they mean. Which flavors? And natural versus what… unnatural? The fact

that it has been specified that there are natural flavors suggests that the rest are unnatural. How can food be unnatural? You mean to tell me that Cheetos don’t grow in uniform-weighted bags on trees that fall and litter the ground with individually sealed, portable, never-never spoil packages of tastiness? Can children not rake together fluffy, brightly colored piles of Cheetos? Well, if that’s not the case, where do Cheetos come from? October 24 is National Food Day and, conveniently for the debut of this column, today. It is a day set apart to challenge people to think about where their food comes from and what they’re putting into their bodies. There are a variety of events going on all over the county in celebration, even in our beloved St. Helens. Tonight at 5:15 p.m. at the St. Helens Public Library there will be a free showing of the movie “Fresh” which highlights some of the things we might not have considered before when shopping at the grocery store, but probably should. This is the first of more food-based columns meant to get you to think about food

and its many sides, as well as what is specifically happening here in Columbia County. You won’t get any tasty recipes from me because I don’t really like to cook all that much (read Grey and Trent’s column for that). But just because I don’t like to cook doesn’t mean food doesn’t affect me, my community or the world. I have spent the past year exploring role of food in the county with the help of Columbia Pacific Food Bank and Oregon Food Bank. I tried to piece together a picture of food in the county. In my quest I have met farmers, consumers, chefs, worked with folks from various public and private organizations, spoken with school officials, home gardeners and local emergency food sites alike. I have spent time perusing the local history books at the library and county historic society’s treasures and have been amazed at the rich agricultural history the area has and what is still quietly happening today all around the county. Check in with me from time to time and I’ll show you how food is more than just what you eat. Together we’ll explore how you can use food to make not only your community stronger, but you and your family too.

BOISE: facility has been looked at for biomass, bioenergy From PAGE A1 lumbia County,” said Kevin Owens, board member for the Columbia County Economic Team and general manager of Columbia River PUD. Owens said the facility has been looked at in the past by companies looking to implement biomass or bioenergy products. “They have a lot of adjacent property that people have looked at developing in response to RFPs that PGE or other utilities looking for land to develop,” Owens said. One impact that could affect residents throughout the St. Helens area is the company’s contribution to St. Helens’ water treatment costs. Boise petitioned – and received – a reduction to the company’s contribution rate in October of 2011. The rate adjustment was the result of an appeal filed by Boise after the St. Helens City Council voted to reduce

the paper company's contribution from 67 percent to 60.5 percent. Boise had originally requested their contribution be reduced to just 54 percent. “The council set at a stepped down amount that split the difference between 67 percent and 56 percent,” said then-city manager Chad Olson. “Boise appealed that based upon actual loading that is going into the plant and the TAC's (technical advisory committee) recommendation.” Under the revised rate structure, Boise's rate was based on actual usage as long as the company's loading stayed above 56 percent. If the company’s usage dropped below 56 percent at any time during the next 12 months, Boise paid a minimum of 56 percent. Now that those 12 months are up and Boise’s usage of the city’s infrastructure will again decline, the company may ask for further reductions.

VIEWPOINT

DAVE COVERLY

Voters should support 5-228 On Nov. 7, St. Helens residents will be asked to support an operating levy to fund police services within the city. Measure 5-228, named the Police Local Option Levy, asks voters to authorize a tax of $1.00 for every $1,000 of assessed property value. Revenue raised by the levy would fund day to day operations of the St. Helens Police Dept. Voters should support 5228. Since 2005, the number of sworn officers has dropped from 25 to 16. Response times to resident’s calls have increased from slightly over 3 minutes to nearly 30 minutes in some

cases. Investigative functions have been sharply curtailed and office hours reduced as administrative personnel have been cut. The police department’s ability to provide 24/7 protection for the community is in serious jeopardy. The lack of sufficient funding for the police department is symptomatic of a greater problem the city faces; declining tax revenues. Taxes from industries like Boise, which funded a major portion of the city’s operating budget, have evaporated as those businesses have closed up shop. City leaders have a serious problem with the budget that is

only going to get worse in coming years. Measure 5-228 won’t solve all the fiscal problems the city faces, but it will ensure one vital service, police protection, remains adequately funded. In the face of high unemployment and declining wages, voters are right to expect government to live within it’s means, but lack of this basic service makes the city less attractive to businesses, increases crime and lowers the standard of living for all of us. It’s a wise investment in our community.

selves against the advice of the finance committee, or even bothered to show up for work most of the time. Their meetings to take any action must be taking place in secret because they no longer have work sessions and further refuse to make decisions in their public meetings. There is no other way I can see for them to get anything done that they claim credit for. We need new blood to get our county moving again and that means two new commissioners in Wayne Mayo and Tammy Maygra. As for the sheriff, rumor has it he also took a raise and promoted his buddies to also get raises while getting rid of other employees. This from a man originally elected who claimed that money was no issue but is now out not only for re-election but to try again to get a levy passed. It would be interesting to find out if he has not only collected the bed fees for inmates brought in from other cities, counties, and out of state but has gotten that money (if collected) back from the county general fund. I would agree with his original statement throughout his original election that there is already plenty of money, if only it was used wisely. Again, we need new blood and that will mean voting for Dave Fuller for my part. Remember voters, it is really our money they are all using or trying to get out of our dwindling pocket books. The way I see it I will be voting for Wayne Mayo and Tammy Maygra for the respective commissioner positions they are seeking because both of them have to be elected to make a change. I will also be voting for Dave Fuller, sheriff. Hope you have had enough too and will join the rest of us voting this way.

that in fact, almost 100 percent of Ryan’s facts were accurate. Please investigate Mr. Ryan’s facts and Biden’s denials to see who is the liar I fully expected Biden’s pants to catch on fire or his nose to start growing at any given moment.

LETTERS The Real Grange For more than a 100 years, the real Grange has been a part of communities throughout Oregon and other states across the U.S. A few months ago, proponents of a casino and entertainment center in Wood Village adopted the name “The Grange” for their development project tied to Ballot Measure 82 and 83. PDX Entertainment is a local Lake Oswego group and is backed by a Torontobased private equity firm called the Clairvest Group Inc. This group has raised millions of dollars to advertise their casino. The trend is that big spenders win the elections, so we the real Grange are very concerned. This group has infringed on the trademark name of the National Grange. An agreement was made between the National Grange and PDX Entertainment to drop and/or change the name, “The Grange,” after the November election. Warren Grange of Columbia County wants our local friends and neighbors to know that we are the “Real Grange” of the community and we are not affiliated with the casino. We support projects in our community: 4-H clubs, rodeo court, fairgrounds, Word 4 Thirds at Warren Grade School, Mega Egg Hunt, St. Helens Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, South County Chamber of Commerce, Community Scholarship Foundation, foster kids, CASA, Special Olympics, community meals and the local food bank. Eva Frost and members of the Warren Grange, Warren

Time for change Time is getting close to make our political voices heard. For me it will be an easy year to vote in Columbia County and Oregon because there are no incumbents that have acted on what the people have voted for. Our county commissioners have not acted on the prior voices of the voters regarding the health district funds or the property they took, on taxation options voted in but not collected, on the raises they gave them-

Georgia Keiper, St Helens Biden in denial Biden’s “Cheshire cat” smile, arrogant bombastic remarks and reprehensible interruptions certainly were indicative of who he really is. Many news channels reviewed Biden’s denial of Ryan’s facts only to discover

Caty Engen, Scappoose Important decisions Twenty days from the date I am writing this letter voters will be making some extremely important decisions – nationwide, statewide, countywide and citywide. It is so very important that you be well informed when you mark your ballot. Tammy Maygra has been a positive influence for our county for over 20 years. She has never previously run for a paid political position. She is currently chairperson of the Columbia Health District, a member of Citizen Advisory Planning Committee and a member of the newly formed Clean Columbia County, a quickly growing organization hoping to prevent train and river barge shipments of coal from passing through or past our county. She is the only county candidate to come out against coal shipments. She fought against LNG (Liquid Natural Gas) being piped through our county for shipment to foreign ports. She is the person instrumental in stopping the 38 cent per thousand tax collected for a hospital which was never built. Over $8 million of your tax money has disappeared. One tangible asset remaining is the Millard Road property. That property is now held in a warranty deed by the trustees for CHD who are attempting to sell it and credit the taxpayers with over $3 million. Tony Hyde and his fellow commissioners want to turn the property over to the City of St. Helens for free with no tax credit to the taxpayers. Maygra has collected a fraction of the amount of her opponent, mostly from small local individual contributors. She is opposed to asking for money for her campaign. In contrast, her opponent, Tony

Hyde, has collected almost $20,000 this year, much of it from large companies, which have been granted huge tax abatements by the county. Maygra is running in opposition to incumbent Tony Hyde. Hyde has already been in office for 16 years. It is definitely time for a new commissioner, someone with fresh ideas and new energy. You need to ask yourself if you are better off now than you were 16 years ago. If the answer is no – vote for Tammy Maygra.

litical insider who secures crumbs of goodies because he sits at the table of a Democratic majority. That’s a false reason to vote for anyone. Barnes brings common sense and truly fresh ideas to a Salem that has been controlled by old Democrats for decades. We don’t need old school politicians and never did. Time for change is long overdue for this District 31 race. Lew Barnes will be our voice for fiscal and economic sanity in government.

Nancy Whitney, St. Helens (Editor’s note: Nancy Whitney is the campaign manager for Tammy Maygra.)

Art Hyland, Seaside

Barnes not Witt Here’s why: 1. What’s the first vote taken at the next legislative session? Chair leadership. Brad Witt votes Democrat, Lew Barnes votes Republican. Democratic leadership has resulted in Oregon’s over-spending; over-taxing; over-regulation, over-expensive energy alternatives and over-control of our lives. Top-down control is killing businesses and economic success in Oregon and our nation. Lew Barnes believes in limited, efficient, constitutional government. 2. Democratic leadership worships at the feet of government unions, such as the Oregon Education Association, which dominates Democrats and contributes exclusively to them. That alone is reason to vote for Lew Barnes, or any conservative. But here’s the bonus: Lew Barnes is an accomplished private sector employer. We desperately need private-sector influence in Salem, and we haven’t gotten that with Mr. Witt, who is at best a po-

Truly spectacular In response to Disappointed Alumni (The Chronicle, Oct. 17) – Mrs. Kindred, I am so sorry you missed the high school band the night you attended the football game. We have a wonderful group of musicians, under the direction of Noelle Freshner, that play at as many home games as possible. On Friday, Oct. 12, the St. Helens Marching Band traveled to Grants Pass to participate in a competitive marching band event. We too were sad to miss a home football game, but I am pleased to announce our students won first for all the Division awards, and came in second overall! I hope you find an opportunity to hear the band at an upcoming concert, football or basketball game. Their talent is truly spectacular.

sions). And every election it seems the choices get harder, the lines blurrier, and it becomes ever more difficult to see into the true hearts of the candidates and understand what kind of man or woman they will be in office. This election, however, has offered one bright spot of hope for me, in Columbia County Commissioner candidate Wayne Mayo. This is a man I have known since our salad days, and from that time to this his life has been the very definition of integrity in the modern world. Whatever Wayne does, whether in family, business, or neighborhood, he does it with his whole heart, always placing the needs of those around him in the forefront. Wayne’s very idea of campaigning for this office is a living example of his heart and mindset – instead of throwing money at advertising, publicity, and ballyhoo, Wayne has quietly gone door-to-door in neighborhoods all across the county, meeting the people, learning their concerns, and listening. When was the last time you heard of a politician listening to the people? We tend to elect rhetoric and doublespeak, smooth talk and good looks, subterfuge and private interests. It’s high time we returned to the days when we placed hearts and minds into office, not simply the loudest voice.
