Jail summit and open house scheduled

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — The Columbia County Commissioners and Sheriff’s Office has scheduled the next jail summit meeting, which will include a town hall to allow for public participation. The summit meeting will be held on Jan. 14, beginning at 6:30 p.m., and will be at Columbia River Receptions at Meriwether Place (formerly Assembly of God church) on Columbia Boulevard.

“I don’t see a miracle on the horizon, but my hope is to continue to inform the public about what’s coming,” said Sheriff Jeff Dickerson.

With the failure of the proposed levy to support the jail this past November, Dickerson previously said that closing the county jail is the only option left unless some other funding source is found. The sheriff isn’t convinced putting another levy on the ballot is the answer.

“They would have to get this on the ballot by February and I don’t see that happening. Then there would have to be a whole big, public movement. The public just voted no. I don’t see this big groundswell of support,” he added.

At the last summit meeting, which was held on Nov. 25, Dickerson said he wasn’t sure he could even keep the jail open until the end of the fiscal year, which comes on June 30, 2014.

In the meantime, the jail is continuing to release inmates early. During the week of Dec. 9–15, a total of 13 inmates were released early.

Seven of those were released prior to any court appearance and six were released after an initial court appearance.

Among those planning to attend the summit meeting is St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss, who said he would like to see more emphasis put on long-term solutions rather than just the short-term fix.

“These are a bit of a sore spot for me,” said Moss.

“The process going forward is not that hard to figure out.

What is missing in these discussions is how are we going to fix this problem. Where do ­­­­ See JAIL, Page A4

Serving up Columbia County

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

With the holidays, comes lots of entertaining. If you’re looking for something to add to your table and want to shop local… this may come as a surprise ... Columbia County has some of the best locally-made gourmet food and spirits to offer.

From boutique coffee roasters to oak-aged grog, sweet peppermint candies to the fragrant flavors of Cambodian sauces, our county has it all. Of course, they make for great Christmas presents as well.

For the pirate in all of us Just over three years ago, Ken McFarland, Lloyd Williams, Greg Scott and Marcus Alden turned their

rogue idea into reality when they opened the doors of Ye Old Grog distillery.

Now, their uniquely distilled products can be found in several states and – of course – right here in Oregon. Ye Old Grog products can also be purchased at liquor stores throughout the county, or at the distillery

itself (right across from the Oregon State Police St. Helens office).

“It’s not about getting people in here, have a taste, buy a bottle and get out. It’s about the experience. We have people come in all the time just to hang out,” said McFarland.

Good Morning Glory Grog – Sweetened with Blue Agave nectar, this sweet grog is reminiscent of the hot buttered rum many imbibe in during the Christmas season. This grog is slightly sweet with the flavors of butterscotch, cinnamon and citrus. Ye Old Grog says it makes for a great rum replacement and can be served neat, chilled or over ice.

Dutch Harbor Breeze Grog – Watch out for this 100 proof, oak aged grog.

Also flavored with Blue Agave nectar, Ye Old Grog describes this blend as having a “strong, natural cinnamon flavor from the addition of cinnamon sticks during the aging process, with additional characteristics of oak, sassafras, vanilla, caramel and citrus.”

This grog is best served as two ounces in a snifter over a single ice cube, or mix with soft drinks like Dr. Pepper, root beer or cola.

St. Helens Vodka – The name of this 80 proof vodka was recently changed to reflect its homegrown

roots, something McFarland says patrons have a definite interest in. Unlike many other vodkas, this blend isn’t filtered with carbon or charcoal and that – says Ye Old Grog – makes this vodka “clean, smooth and full of character.”

Try all three in the sampler pack, which comes in a wooden case. Or stop in for a scoop of grog-flavored ice cream (available at the distillery only).

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle The St. Helens High School choir performs at the annual donut day event held at the St. Helens Police Department on Saturday, Dec. 14. A total of 350 dozen donuts were brought in, with all but 10 dozen sold, raising $2,163.58 in cash and 2,765 pounds of food for the Columbia Pacific Food Bank. A similar donut day event was also held at the Rainier Police Station the same day.

Council takes control of hiring, firing; interim manager selected SCAPPOOSE — Employees with the City of Scappoose will see at least one change with how city business is conducted now that an interim city manager has been selected. The city council voted on Monday night to amend the city’s municipal code to restrict the city manager – whether that’s an interim position or not – from hiring or firing city employees.

Instead, the city manager will prepare a report and recommendation to the council, which will then make those decisions.

The move to amend the municipal code seemed to stem from council members’ concerns that the current city charter grants those rights to whoever is designated as city manager, and not just to a full-time “permanent” city manager.

“I think the [city charter] gives too much authority to someone who is going to be here on a temporary basis,” said Councilor Mark Reed, “making decisions we will have to live with two or three years down the road.”

While amendments to the city charter can only be made and approved by the city’s voters, municipal code 2.48.030 states personnel rules will be adopted and amended by resolution of the city council. Before the change to the municipal code will go into effect, written notice will be given to all employees through “normal channels of communication” as prescribed by the code.

The change to the ordinance is expected to go effect on Jan. 1. This new rule will come back to the city council in one year for review.

“The reason that’s there is because we haven’t had this for a long time.

And I would like to Don Otterman make sure we don’t forget about it as a council,” said Councilor Jason Meshell, who proposed the change. “We can look at it again in a year and see if it’s been effective, see if there has been good communication.

It also gives the city and the citizens some protection.”

A familiar face As for the person selected to fill the city manager position for the immediate future, he may be familiar to some.

Don Otterman served as the Scappoose city manager from January 1995 to April 1999 before leaving for a position as city manager in North Plains.

Otterman’s first role as a city manager came back in 1985 in California. He has also held positions – on either an interim or full-time basis – in Kaizer, Rockaway Beach, Wheeler and Hood River.

Otterman will be working in Scappoose three days a week, beginning Jan. 2, and will receive $5,548.80 per month in pay, but will not be eligible for city fringe benefits.

“I will be looking forward to coming back and serving in the position for a short time,” said Otterman, adding he understands the necessity for finding a full-time replacement as quickly as possible.

Also at the top of the council and Otterman’s priorities is the budget process, which begins early next year. Otterman suggested started with developing a budget calendar then working with department heads to meet council goals.

The incoming city manager

said he was also aware the city would be facing financial issues with paying former city manager Jon Hanken’s oneyear severance package which is in excess of $100,000 while also paying for an interim manager and, eventually, permanent replacement.

“This next year is going to be a challenge because of the separation of the former city manager. There’s going to be some money that is going to have to be found to cover those costs and go on with the operation of the city,” Otterman said.

Bocce ball court in the works The council also approved moving forward with

a proposed Bocce ball court to be built at Veterans Park.

The contract was awarded to Bocce E. Luce Construction out of Sherwood in the amount of $49,751.

Construction of the court is expected to begin next year with a completion date prior to June 30. Although the project was approved last October, delays with the new skate park pushed the start date back.

Bocce, which is somewhat similar to lawn bowls, is a European import dating back centuries and is traditionally played on natural soil or asphalt courts 90 feet in length.

Games can be played between two players, or between teams of two, three or four players.

DON PATTERSON / The Chronicle

One injured in Columbia Boulevard accident One person was injured in a Dec. 17 accident on Columbia Boulevard and 19th Street when the driver of a late-model Mercedes Benz C230 apparently struck a parked Range Rover, causing it to overturn.

The driver of the Mercedes, James Everaert,

73 of Columbia City, was taken by ambulance to a Portland-area hospital. Two dogs in the passenger car were evacuated by Columbia County Animal Control.

Investigators have not determined the cause of the accident, although Police Chief Terry Moss said

Everaert may have experienced a medical situation causing him to swerve into the parked SUV. The parked Range Rover belongs to Kelly Dolyniuk, who works near where the SUV was parked.

She was not in the vehicle at the time of the accident.

Beginning last Friday, Rainier Police are aggressively seeking out drunk drivers. The high visibility enforcement uses an increased number of officers on the streets to deter people from driving after they have been drinking.

According to the department, the Christmas/New Year holiday season has become an increasingly dangerous time in Rainier for impaired driving and is the reason for the crackdown.

Their goal is simple, to save lives. Whatever you drive, if you’re drunk, you will be arrested.

To crack down on drunk drivers, specially trained officers will be working this detail from Dec. 13 through Jan. 2.

MADD donations benefit community The Columbia County chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving is working to make the roads a little safer and help those in recovery.

The group recently donated an Alco-Blow breath tester to the Lazarus Project, a spiritually-based substance abuse recovery project. Like Lazarus in the Bible, people recovering from alcohol dependency are rebuilding their lives, says the group.

MADD arranged with CMI, Inc., of Owensboro, Ky., for the donation of the tester so that residents of the recovery home can be tested for the presence of alcohol while living there.

According to MADD, support in maintaining sobriety is important to help people return to an active role in society and the tester will allow them to work

toward that goal. This also allows them to play a role in safe driving, thus protecting everyone driving our local roads.

MADD of Columbia County also purchased a new passive alcohol sensor for the St. Helens Police Department for use by officers called to incidents of Minors in Possession of Alcohol.

Chief Terry Moss received the tester on Dec. 4, at the Columbia County Traffic Safety Commission meeting. This tester replaces one MADD donated several years ago and is now unable to be repaired.

MADD has worked with CMI for several years by helping purchase passive alcohol sensors for MIP enforcement for local law enforcement agencies, schools, and the Victim Impact Panel.

Local nonprofits awarded grants from OCF Thanks to grants from the Oregon Community Foundation, the new playground planned for McBride Elementary School took a step closer to becoming a reality. The foundation awarded $15,000 to the St. Helens Association of Parents and Teachers for the replacement of the playground structure at McBride, a project that is expected to cost around $150,000 in all.

This wasn’t the only Columbia County nonprofit to receive funds.

The Vernonia Health Clinic also got a helping hand with its moving expenses. Oregon Community Foundation awarded $35,000 to the clinic in support of its relocation.

In total, Oregon Community Foundation awarded more than $570,000 in grants to North Coast nonprofits

and more than $8.4 million was awarded statewide during its recent fall grants cycle A $105,000 grant will serve middle school students in Southern Clatsop County as part of a new K-12 Student Success grant program. The grant has been awarded to Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District Foundation to provide positive and engaging out-of-school time activities and mentoring for middle school students.

The program is eligible for an additional $175,000 in funding over the course of the next two years. The three-year K-12 Student Success grant program focuses on quality outof-school time programs that are designed to increase student engagement with school and boost academic perfor-

mance.

“The Oregon Education Investment Board’s key benchmarks for Oregon’s educational success have set forth realistic goals to ensure our students are staying in school, graduating high school and then attending college,” said Max Williams, OCF President and CEO. “With grants like these, OCF’s board of directors is making a similar commitment to the success of Oregon’s current and future K-12 students.”

Including the K-12 Student Success grant in Seaside, The Oregon Community Foundation awarded more than $570,000 in grants to North Coast nonprofits during their recent fall grant cycle and more than $8.4 million statewide.

Additional grants in

the region included: • Clatsop Community Action, Inc., in Astoria received $2,500 to support the CCA Regional Food Bank.

• North County Recreation District in Nehalem received $10,000 to support the four-phase renovation and refurbishment of the historic, two-level 7,500 square foot gymnasium and auditorium facility.

• Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Portland, $250,000 for the Coastal Discovery Center, a science education camp in Newport.

SERVING: Columbia County has got the goods From PAGE A1

as young child during Cambodia’s civil war during the 1970s. Because of the conflict, Cambodian cuisine was once in danger of being forgotten but is now enjoying a resurgence thanks to the efforts of those like Kuy. The family settled in the Tacoma, Wash., area and Kuy eventually decided to open a restaurant here. Kuy’s Oriental Cuisine serves up Cambodian, Thai and Vietnamese foods to local customers, too.

Kuy’s products include a complex and old recipe fried garlic, a hotly-flavored sweet chili sauce, zesty garlic vinaigrette, a sweet peanut sauce that makes a great dipping sauce, hot but not bitter chili oil and stir fry sauce great with beef, chicken pork, vegetables and noodles.

These sauces bring the flavor of southeast Asia to

any dish. Products can be purchased at area farmers markets (when in season) or online at kuyscambodiansauces.com.

Vernonia Coffee Roasters This boutique roaster serves up uniquely blended beans one batch at a time.

When equipment issues threatened to close the business down just a couple of years ago, some creative thinking and a turn to crowdfunding (think sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo) turned the tide.

Now, says owner Tim Davis, things are continuing to move ahead and his products will soon be available at a St. Helens grocery store after the first of the year, if all goes according to plan.

With custom made grinds like Blend 47 (named after the highway that runs through its namesake town),

Bridge Street Blend and C.A.T. Blend, which was created to support the local nonprofit Community Action Team, it’s no surprise that Vernonia Coffee Roasters is a favorite for that first cup of the morning at several local shops and bed-andbreakfast inns.

Other blends include the sweet with a hint of candy cane Eclipse Blend, smooth medium roast of Excelso EP, super small beans of estate grade Maui Mokka Kona and organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Zelele, just to name a few.

Coffee by the pound can be purchased locally in Vernonia or online at vernoniacoffeeroasters.com.

Seely Mints The Seely family began farming mint back in the 1940s. Owner Mike Seely says the coastal climiate combined with the dark river bottom soil next to the Columbia River produces a sweeter, smoother mint.

Whether it’s peppermint tea, peppermint bark, chocolate melts or the perennial favorite of peppermint pat-

ties, Seely Mint Farms has been producing high-quality items for several years. The Clatskanie-based business has been growing steadily and is now found in several

boutique stores throughout the Pacific Northwest. Soon, the candy man hopes to have his wares in Whole Foods stores as well.

In St. Helens, a limited number of products are available at Bertucci’s (primarily teas and peppermint patties) and the South County Chamber of Commerce. In Clatskanie, Hi-School Pharmacy has a great selection, including a new line of soaps or try Flowers & Fluff. In Scappoose, stop by Avenue 30. You can even find Seely

Northwest Distillery This Warren-based distillery has been producing its handcrafted spirits since 2007 and is run by the Zonich family. The distillery prides itself on only using premium ingredients and processes to create its three featured products.

Liquid Vodka, which won two prestigious international awards in 2007, is produced using high-quality grains and pure Oregon water. It’s then filtered 10 times through four separate charcoal filters to produce a smooth and clean vodka.

Lavishmint says it all in the name. Produced with a blend of spearmint and peppermint, and a touch of lime, this vodka can be enjoyed straight up, over ice or in your favorite cocktail.

The third member of the Northwest Distillery family is Hello Lovely, a 24-proof strawberry lemonade made with all natural flavors and pure cane sugar. This premixed cocktail can be served on the rocks, with champagne for a tasty mimosa alternative or as a martini in sugar-rimmed glass with a lemon twist.

These spirits can be purchased in local liquor stores and be sure to check the website at nwdistillery.com for some great recipes.

There were 7,436 boat inspections conducted from May through October and 297 boats were found with live weeds, mussels, snails and other organisms. Of the contaminated boats, three boats were carrying mussels and 14 boats had standing water in various compartments.

Any areas with standing water are capable of transporting mussel larvae and weed fragments that can easily contaminate a body of water. Law enforcement partners reported a range from 70–90 percent compliance, depending on the region of the state, for people carrying their AIS permit.

Letters A call for CASA support There is a small, local non-profit organization in Columbia County to which we must pay attention. CASA for Kids, Inc., plus seven local attorneys, judges, volunteers and case workers watch over victims of child abuse in our county. They assist in protecting the rights, well-being and status of children up to the age of 18 (21 in special needs cases) who need help from the entire community.

Currently, this organization is short of up to 125 volunteer advocates to stand up for the approximately 264 kids now in foster care in Columbia County.

First, some context and hard facts: In Columbia County there are over 36 kids per 1,000 children who are victims of abuse in some form (neglect, sexual, violence). This is more than three times the state average of about 12 per 1,000 kids; Columbia County ranks in the bottom eight out of 36 counties for kids in foster care and the length of time spent in foster care; Statewide, over 87 percent of the children who enter foster care are able to be returned home within one year. In Columbia County, that number is only about 50 percent (the sixth worst in the state).

Since 2003, there has been an increase of 62 percent in abuse reports statewide.

This is due, perhaps, to greater awareness and action by the public and authorities, but the trend continues to worsen; almost 60 percent of the victims of child abuse between the ages of 10 and 18 are girls;

Opinion www.thechronicleonline.com

Speedbump

almost 75 percent of the perpetrators of all abuse are mothers or fathers.

The above statistics from the 2012 Foster Care Data Book and the Child Welfare Data Book beg the question: Why do kids in Columbia County appear to be in more danger than the rest of the state? We could blame poverty, but only 11.8 percent of Columbia County population is considered to be poor, while the state average is 14.8 percent. In fact, county income is above the state average.

We could blame stability in the home, but home ownership in our county is 76.8 percent, well above the state average of 63.1 percent. The percentage of folks living in the same home for more than one year is 86.5, compared to less than 82 percent statewide. Homes more prone to a transient population (rentals) stand at 10.4 percent in Columbia County, while the state average is at a far greater 23.3 percent.

Therefore, the answer to the question posed above resides elsewhere and should be an inspiration to deeper thought and conversation within our county.

Regardless, the children continue to be victimized and those who can must stand up for them.

Lindsey King, the Director of CASA, experienced the foster care system first hand. By the time she was 11 years old she had lived in 27 different foster homes before her advocate aided in her permanent adoption.

Her past experience includes working with senior

services, suicide prevention and aiding third-world countries in attaining needed supplies. She has a heart for children, as do the seven members of the CASA board of directors.

While aiding the victims of child abuse in Columbia County, Lindsey is also doing her best to communicate the growing need for volunteer advocates to the citizens of our county.

For CASA, it’s all about the kids. When kids have a CASA advocate, they spend less time in foster care and are less likely to return to the foster care system. With CASA advocacy, approximately 70 percent of victims are reunited with their family. Most often, due to the cumbersome nature of the foster care system, the CASA advocate is the single most consistent presence in a child’s life while in foster care, as it was in Lindsey’s own experience.

When parents of victims have engaged with CASA the family has benefitted.

Past CASA advocates have taken their own experiences in advocating for kids with them as they become foster parents and/or adoptive parents.

CASA advocates provide status reports including requirements for the well-being of each child to the child’s attorney and the judge. These reports give the judges information they otherwise could not get any other way. The goals of CASA are to prevent further trauma to each and every victim of abuse caused by an, at times, impersonal system and to

ease their transition to a stable and healthy childhood. They don’t want any victim to “fall through the cracks.”

While the causes and cures for the worsening trend of child abuse in Columbia County are dilemmas for the community to ponder and solve, the heroic role of CASA should be supported by the

whole county. If you can help by volunteering or with financing, please call CASA at 503-410-5097.

They need good people to help the kids of our county.

CASA is not religiously based, but on a personal note, as the writer of this article, I urge those of faith in our county to pray earnestly for the child victims, their parents and

other perpetrators, as well as the legal system and the volunteers who aid these victims. I also urge those of faith to pray for all who are, have been, or will be falsely accused, since the system to protect our kids sometimes proves to be imperfect.

been scaring students for years, showing them how bad the world can get when nobody thinks, and nobody learns, and nobody cares. We talk about how the things that make the imaginary society of “Fahrenheit 451” so terrible are things in our world right now, only taken a little bit further in the book: the divorce rate is a little bit higher, and people are a little more violent, and their televisions are a little bit larger and more invasive in their lives – but only a little bit. The people in “Fahrenheit 451” do not read because books take too much time and effort to read, and books make people think, and books sometimes make people sad. Bradbury, who also said “You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them,” shows how the love of electronics, the dislike of thinking and how it

sometimes makes us sad, and the urge to speed up life, to fill every second of every day with action and excitement, turns people into heartless, thoughtless, destructive robots.

Every year I teach this book, there are a large number of my students who do not read it. They don’t read it because they don’t like to read books, because books take too long to read, and they take too much effort to understand, and they aren’t as exciting and fun as an iPhone or an XBox. I always point out the irony to them: that I am trying to teach them a book about people who are miserable because they don’t read, and they, my students, don’t read the book, and so don’t understand how important it is that they read books.

But there is a more important element that I want to point out to this

community. Ray Bradbury, who wrote “Fahrenheit 451” in 1953, predicted the future in many ways, but he wasn’t right: our world is not like the world he imagined in his book. Not completely. And the reason is that there are still people today, in the real United States, who are not like the people in the book. There are people in this world, in this society, in my classes, who have saved our society and kept our society from turning into the place that Ray Bradbury imagined.

They are people who read, people who think, people who are creative and artistic and observant and thoughtful, people with empathy and curiosity, hearts and minds.

They are the best and most important people in our society. They are my students.

I want to thank my students who read, who think, who care, and who

have saved our world from becoming this terrible place that Ray Bradbury wrote about. I want to thank their families, their parents and grandparents and siblings and friends and all the other teachers before me, who have taught and inspired them to be thoughtful and creative and dedicated people. Thank you for making my job easy, and for making it worthwhile – because students who read are the best students in the world, for an English teacher. And anyone who wonders what they can do to make school better, more effective as well as easier, for their kids, here is my best advice: read, and teach your kids to read. Teach them to think, and to care, and to want to see and experience the whole world, not just what they can see on their TV or on YouTube.

And then send them to my class.

Richard M. Demings, Yankton

BY DUSTY HUMPHREY St. Helens HS Language Arts Chair

I’ve been teaching Language Arts for 14 years. In that time, I have taught Ray Bradbury’s novel “Fahrenheit 451” something like 40 or 50 times, to well over a thousand students. The book is about a future version of America in which books have been banned. The books were banned mostly because

people stopped reading them, seduced by faster, easier entertainment like movies and TV, and the government then realized that ignorant people were much easier to control, so long as they kept the masses entertained, and scared. The same ideas are in the more modern “Hunger Games” series, and in both cases, the society described is really very similar to our own.

This is a scary truth to deal with, and I’ve

Mildred Probst

Together Again. Mildred Probst will be missed.

The young red haired Millie Taylor, who was renowned for her ability to dance on skates, did not know that she was about to meet her future Mildred Probst husband in a most unusual way.

The young, dashing Voris Probst had been watching Millie skate for some time. He did not know how to skate but assumed he could do anything and rented some skates at the rink so he could ask Millie to dance. Unfortunately skating was not one of his talents. He slid up to Millie to speak with her and immediately locked his skate with hers causing them both to fall. Really fall. Millie was stunned.

She never fell while skating – and who was this guy who ran into her?

It took more than a year for Millie and Voris to fall in love and elope.

Unfortunately this was just the time when Pearl Harbor was attacked. Their agreement was that Voris would enlist in the U.S. Navy and Millie would go to work in the shipyards.

Voris and Millie worked out a code in their letters so that she would know if he had been injured or seen action. She followed the fleet, back and forth, across the country to meet Voris whenever he came to a U.S. port. This was the way they began their marriage, which would last for more than 60 years.

After the war Millie and Voris began their adventures in the timber industry – living in remote places in a trailer Voris built. They had made a plan. They were going to build a home and a family. The family started first so the home was an important priority.

Voris and his father built a home to Millie’s design in Corvallis. The family expanded so Millie and Voris moved into the unfinished house before they expected to do so.

Eventually the home was completed with a knotty pine kitchen with all pink appliances, a black and blue bathroom, a patio shaped like a grand piano and a fireplace of stone that covered one wall. It was the good life of the ‘50s.

Their adventures continued. Eventually Millie and Voris bought a plane and they both became pilots.

This allowed them to hopscotch across the hundreds of miles between work and home. They did have one hair-raising experience with their plane. On a moonless trip to Madras from Corvallis, a factory defect caused a complete shut down of their engine. They were forced to land in a darkened forest – which was impossible.

Fortunately Voris saw a reflection of the Metolis River and was able to maneuver the plane onto the water – which was three feet deep. Millie said he landed just like a duck.

Once they were down all they could do was laugh.

The photo and story was picked up on the wire services and spread across the country and armed services newspapers around the world.

Millie developed another talent. She could make wedding cakes like skyscrapers. On occasion they had champagne fountains incorporated into them. They were breathtaking to behold. She volunteered at the Red Cross – bringing in people with special blood types for immediate surgeries. And, she was invited to join the Women’s Club where she accomplished many fundraisers for causes the club had chosen to support. Her photo was often in the local papers and she enjoyed the service to the community.

Amazingly Millie and Voris decided to move to Livingston, Montana, where an opportunity in the timber industry was an

offer they could not refuse.

This may have been one of the most playful downright western towns they had ever lived in. They did everything. They trekked with mules to a place Millie and Voris had seen from the air that was an undiscovered petrified forest. They contributed to a prank that included moving a standing frozen cow onto a friend’s front yard – he got them back by serving a steak to them from the cow at the following summer’s barbeque. They mined sapphires and gold, which they made into jewelry. They had a huge number of friends who they camped, fished, and hunted with. It was a good place for them to be at the time.

And, then another call of change came. Voris was called to run the sawmill in St. Helens. Boise wanted him to upgrade and computerize the mill while never shutting down the plant all while continuing to make a profit. A big challenge, but Millie and Voris had a plan. They wanted to build another home and that is just what they did. They found some forestland on the ridgeline above Columbia City and began building their dream. A road had to be built, water found, a house site decided upon, and then a home built. Once again Millie planned her dream house. She chose everything – top to bottom – except for Voris’s automatic flushing urinal. That was his first stop when showing people around the house.

Millie loved her new home. She grew orchids, collected rolling pins and cookbooks, as well as other collections of her favorite things. What we all remember is that she made the best pies on the planet – and she could do it in high heels, just like Donna Reed. We all loved to play pranks on her because she would scream bloody murder when she found a fake head in her turkey pan at 5 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning; it is impossible not to laugh again while remembering all the pranks that were played on her. Secretly, we think she liked them.

Both Millie and Voris involved themselves in many service activities.

Voris was chosen as First Citizen for Columbia County at one point – and although he deserved it, what we all know is that behind every man of achievement is a good woman and he always gave credit to his redhead.

During this time Millie and Voris traveled internationally which included Europe and Asia. They continued working on the development of their land in order to sell a few parcels to others who would like to build a home. It was their Shangri-La. The road to their home is Miloris – a combination of their names. After over 60 years and many adventures together, Voris passed on May 3, 2006.

Millie enjoyed seven more years in their beautiful home that they built together with it’s breathtaking views of the Columbia River. Now, Millie and Voris are together again.

Mildred C. Probst (Taylor) was born on April 3, 1921. She passed away on Sept. 4, 2013. She was preceded in death by husband, Voris D. Probst; her father, John L. Taylor; her mother, Adeline Taylor (Ellison), and six of her seven siblings.

Millie is survived by her daughter, Alana Probst of St. Helens; son Brad Probst of Hoskins, Ore.; granddaughter Ashley Probst-Smith of Monroe, Ore.; her elder sister, Ann Domogalla, residing in California; several sisters-in-law; numerous nieces and nephews and their children, as well as her best friend, Loretta Wallace, who skated with Millie before she even met Voris.

In lieu of flowers any offerings can be made to the Humane Society or Meals on Wheels in her name.

Millie Probst will be missed by many.

Col-Pac receives business development grant ST. HELENS —Columbia Pacific Economic Development District (Col-Pac) recently received a $5,000 grant from Bank of the West to support small business development in Columbia County.

Mary McArthur, Col-Pac executive director said, “Our partnership with the Bank of the West is providing us with the ability to work

with more local businesses on their expansion and job development activities.”

Business development activities funded through the grant will occur over the next six months. In addition to micro-financing and technical assistance, Col-Pac supports local businesses through regional marketing communications, and the NW Oregon’s Small

Manufacturers and Suppliers Connectory.

“Small businesses play an important role in the economic well-being and vitality of a community,” said Laurie Cluster, branch manager of the Bank of the West in St. Helens. “Bank of the West is a part of this community and we were pleased to be able to support Col-Pac’s efforts that

contribute to sustainable neighborhoods and workforce development.”

Col-Pac is a private nonprofit organization established in 1994 to assist in diversifying and strengthening the economy and livability of Northwest Oregon.

The Bank of the West grant will be used to expand ColPac’s business technical assistance.

Former director of business services assumes role as credit union’s first CCO ST. HELENS — St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union announced that Steve Jensen has been promoted to chief credit officer. Jensen formerly served as SHCU’s director of business services.

“SHCU was fortunate to have someone of Steve’s caliber join our team earlier this year. I look forward to continuing to work closely with him to

serve the lending needs of our members,” said Robin Balza, who continues in her long time role as the credit union’s Chief Operating Officer.

Jensen brings over 25 years of related experience to his new role, with specialties in consumer retail and commercial lending programs. Prior to joining SHCU earlier this year, he served in key leadership

roles with Sterling Savings Bank and Key Bank. His previous experience also includes many years serving the financial needs of small businesses along the Oregon Coast.

“St. Helens is a closeknit community with the opportunity to build longlasting financial relationships that help residents and businesses prosper,” said Jensen. “Having

spent much of my career in similar Oregon towns, I look forward to helping the credit union build upon its success as a trusted community partner.”

Jensen attended from Brigham Young University and is an active member of Rotary International. He and his wife, Larayne, have been married for 37 years and have four children and three grandchildren.

says: think of fitness while

This week we are going to assume that throughout 2013 you were more nice than naughty, and made it onto Santa’s “good Simon Date kid” list.

With January coming up, and the inevitable “I am going to lose weight” resolutions that come with it, I thought I would focus on a few home workout ideas and equipment for you to hopefully get in your stocking. There’s something here for everybody’s budget, so hopefully it works for you.

1. Resistance bands These are fantastic little devices and come in all shapes, colors, and sizes.

These are particularly effective for the novice workout person who is unsure what to

get in terms of dumbbells or strength training equipment.

They are cheap and very portable. They also store very easily within the house.

2. Stability ball These are fantastic and one of my favorite pieces of workout equipment. They come in different sizes so there is something for the smaller-framed person to someone who is 6’6” and needs a little bigger ball.

Most come in three sizes: 55 cm, 65 cm, and 75 cm.

If space is an issue, you can deflate them after each workout and reinflate when you’re ready. The great thing about these is they can replace a chair at your workplace. Simply take one of these, get rid of your existing chair and sit on it all day.

You’ll get a fantastic core workout without actually knowing it and will improve things like posture and over-

all health during the course of your workday.

3. Yoga mat This is a very simple piece of equipment and is obviously given its name for the activity you can participate in. If you haven’t tried yoga, give it a go. The other benefit of having this is that no matter where you work out in your house, you will have a safe, nonslip surface to do it on. If you’ve got hardwood floors this will absorb sweat and prevent you from taking a tumble when you stand on the surface that you have sweat all over.

4. Dumbbells Well let’s submit it, many of us wouldn’t feel like we are working out unless we were able to do some dumbbell curls. These little – or big – pieces of equipment haven’t changed in hundreds of years, and there is a really good reason why. You can

do everything with them and they come in all different weights, from 1 pound to 100 pounds. For the average person, I would recommend a 5-pound, 10-pound, and 20-pound set, which should give you all the variations you need to get a great workout.

5. Heart rate monitor This would be perhaps the more expensive piece of equipment that Santa might bring you, but it can be just as important depending on how you want to track the intensity of your workouts.

Fat loss begins around 80 percent of your maximum heart rate. To find that, you simply subtract your age from 200. If you can get to a position during a workout where you are hitting 80 percent of that number, you are starting to reach the fat loss zone. Most of these monitors now come in the form of a

St. Helens 62, Scappoose 49

West, Long lead Lions past Indians by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — Save for his pregame meal, there wasn’t much slowing down Tanner Long during the Seven Mile War on Dec. 12.

Long and senior post Corey West led the St. Helens Lions (2-0) to a 62-49 win over visiting Scappoose (0-3).

Long took a quick break in the first half, bolting out of the gym when the soup he had after school wasn’t sitting well in his stomach.

When he returned, he didn’t look the least bit ill. The senior point guard filled the stat sheet with 18 points, seven assists, five rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot. That helped the Lions take their second straight win over the Indians.

“Big rivalry game. That’s what we’ve been practicing for all week long, all summer long – this was for that game,” Long said.

Plenty of Long’s assists went to West, St. Helens’ 6-4 post. West had a game-high 21 points on 9-of10 shooting from the field. He was also 3-for-3 at the free-throw line.

His only miss of the night came on a 3-point attempt as time was running out in the first half.

“Corey and I have been playing since fifth grade, so we know exactly what’s going on. I know where he’s gonna be, he knows where I’m gonna roll so it’s just easy. It’s team chemistry. It’s not a planned thing, it’s just developed over the years,” Long said.

West said the play of Long and fellow senior guard Michael Enyart made things easy for him.

“They feed me the ball. When I get open, I’ll ask. If I don’t get it, OK I’ll set a screen for somebody else, I’ll post back up, I’ll get the ball again and I’ll score right underneath the basket,” West said. He

said coach Jerry Allen has implored him to stay close to the hoop, and it paid off against Scappoose.

“That’s what I gotta do. Just thank the guards, they feed me the ball down low, help me get easy buckets pretty much,” West said.

While West missed his 3-point try with time running out, Scappoose junior Jacob Wendelschafer rattled home a half-court shot at the third-quarter buzzer. Wendelschafer came off the bench to lead the Indians in scoring with 15 points.

“Wendelschafer came in off the bench and wasn’t scared, said ‘Hey, I’m just gonna play,’ did his thing, just did his job,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts.

Tufts was unhappy with the way his team responded to St. Helens’ defensive pressure. The Indians turned the ball over 28 times in the game.

“When we got trapped, we did not handle it very well,” Tufts said.

“When we did rip through it, when we were strong with it, we got layups.”

Junior post Chase Johnson added 12 points and nine rebounds for Scappoose.

“Chase is a competitor, we need to get the ball to him more, but it’s tough when you can’t get it past half court,” Tufts said.

Senior Mitch Davis had six points and six rebounds, and junior Ethan Marcantonio added six points and five rebounds.

For St. Helens, senior Gage Bumgardner scored seven points, grabbed five rebounds and had four steals.

After the game, Allen gave his team a B-minus grade for their season opener.

“We can play a whole lot better.

We didn’t take care of the ball, we missed our assignments a few times.

SHHS outscores the field MILWAUKIE — The St. Helens Lions wrestling team won two of its three dual meets at a tournament at Milwaukie High School on Dec. 13 and finished with more points than any other team.

The Lions beat the Grant Generals 78-6 and the Benson Techmen 65-12. Milwaukie edged St. Helens in their dual, 46-36, but overall the Lions held an 82-74 edge over the Mustangs at the tournament.

Against both Grant and Benson, St. Helens won several matches by forfeit.

Only a few Lions were able to wrestle three matches because of the forfeits.

Michael Bowen was one of them. He finished 2-1 on the day at 132 pounds. Coach J.R. Jackson said Bowen wrestled tough against talented wrestlers from Benson – whom Bowen beat – and Milwaukie, the match he lost.

At 170 pounds, Zilen

Nichols was also 2-1.

Jackson pointed out that John DeWitt, a 106-pounder, won his first match of the season.

“That was probably his first match ever,” Jackson said.

Cody Jackson (126 pounds) and Myles Terry (152) both won easily in their only contested matches.

“I’m proud of the way the whole team wrestled,” Jackson said.

In the 132-pound weight class, Walden went the distance in all five of his matches. He won a 9-1 major decision in the first round. He followed that with an 8-1 decision and a 12-3 major decision. He earned a narrow 2-1 victory in the semifinals before winning the title with a 5-3 decision.

Sophomore Braxton Sue was the runner-up in the

106-pound division. He pinned his first two opponents, won a 6-5 decision and took a technical fall victory in the semifinals. Sue dropped a 10-7 decision in the finals to La Grande junior Cole Rohan.

At 126 pounds, junior Alex Foumal took secondplace honors for the Indians.

He reached the title bout with a 15-11 decision, a 7-3 decision and a second-round fall. Riverside junior Hans Rockwell took a 13-1 major decision in the championship round.

The Lions connected on 8-of-12 3-point attempts, with seniors Tanner Long, Adam Spencer, Devon Jewett and Cody Teyema making two apiece. That hot shooting propelled St. Helens to a 65-43 win despite several starters being forced to the bench after being whistled for early fouls.

WILSONVILLE — The perennially tough Wilsonville Wildcats (2-0) used their trademark hard-nosed defense to take a 70-42 win over the Scappoose Indians (0-3) on Dec. 13.

Wilsonville made 3-pointers on each of its first three possessions of the game while keeping Scappoose from attempting a shot during the first six minutes of the game.

“I have to give Wilsonville credit… they took us out of everything we were trying to run on offense. But at the same time we need to react to pressure better and be stronger with the ball,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts.

He said his team made some adjustments at halftime and saw better results in the second half.

Senior Kiara Single added a fourth-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle. Senior Mary Rotter was fifth in the backstroke.

comers did well, highlighted by a seventh-place finish in the 50-yard freestyle by junior Syrina Revis.

“For first-year swimmers, Syrina Revis had a nice meet and in particular in her 50 free and 100 backstroke. All of the first-year swimmers did well,” Richmond said.

Richmond added that sophomore Lauren Herscovitz started the season on a positive note.

Senior returner Sam Herscovitz had the top finish for the boys, finishing third in

the 500-yard freestyle.

Senior Kenny Klippel took sixth in the 50 free – one of his three personalbest times on the day.

“We were very excited to see our returners have many personal bests right off the bat. You typically see swimmers get close to their last year’s marks sometimes, but you don’t expect them to drop significant time,” Richmond said. “Half the team is new this year and all of the first-year swimmers improved dramatically on their

time trials from late November.”

Scappoose’s next meet is at Rainier against the Columbians and the Banks Braves at 4 p.m. on Dec. 18.
