Today’s the day for Cover Oregon applications

like Christmas!

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

For those wanting insurance through the Affordable Care Act effective Jan. 1, 2014, time is quickly running out. The deadline to get an application mailed, faxed or submitted online to Cover Oregon, the health care exchange for the state, is Wednesday, Dec 4. Applications submitted after that date won’t be effective until Feb. 1, 2014 or later.

For local agencies like Insurance Services Northwest, a Hagan Hamilton company, the looming deadline has meant a recent increase in the workload.

“Our office will have extended hours available by appointment to assist our community in getting the applications submitted by next Wednesday,” said Rachel Brunkhorst, one of several agents at ISNW assisting individuals and businesses with their Cover Oregon applications.

“We have a lot of appointments booked for Wednesday,” she added, noting it takes between 30 minutes to an hour for each application.

Brunkhorst says that while the push is on to get individual applications in, the pressure on businesses and business owners providing insurance coverage to their employees has been reduced.

“The president made a change to the [Affordable Care] Act so that insurance plans that were going away don’t have to expire in 2014,” said Brunkhorst.

Previously, insurance carriers were required to eliminate their existing coverage plans and adopt the bronze, silver and gold plans outlined in the act.

“Now those previous insurance plans will continue through 2014,” Brunkhorst noted.

If you’re waiting until the last minute to complete your application, you may want to rethink that idea. Brunkhorst said she and some of her fellow agents noticed the Cover ­­­­ See COVER, Page A4

Denver investment firm seeks control of Ambre Energy

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

Ambre Energy investors will vote this week on proposals that could give controlling interest of the company – and its two proposed coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest – to Denver-based private equity firm Resource Capital Funds. The vote will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 4.

“It’s something that’s been on their financials for a while,” said Ambre spokesperson Liz Fuller, of Gard Communications.

Ambre Energy’s pro-

posed Morrow Pacific Project would bring coal via rail to Port Morrow in Boardman. There the coal would be offload to barges and sent up the Columbia River to Port Westward in Clatskanie. There the coal would be transferred to larger, ocean-going vessels bound for Asian markets.

The coal company has said the project is expected to create 50-80 full-time family wage jobs, hundreds of construction jobs and require and investment of $150 million that would bring more than $800,000 in tax revenues to the county.

Opponents to the project believe the risks associated

with bringing coal into the county far outweigh the projected benefits.

According to a statement issued by Ambre, the first of the proposals would allow Resource Capital Funds to increase its stake in the company from 19.9 percent to 26.5 percent, subject to approval by the company’s shareholders at their annual general meeting on Dec. 4.

“Additionally, those shareholders will be asked to allow RCF in the future to convert its loan to further equity in Ambre, as an alternative to repayment of the loan, up to a maximum total stake of 55 percent,” said the statement.

The precise stake that RCF would attain by converting its loan would depend on the timing of the conversion and what further shares had been issued to other investors.

Fuller said Ambre doesn’t expect the vote to have any impact on Port Westward.

“It’s not, from our perspective, going to have any impact on any aspect of the Morrow Pacific project. In fact, it signifies a deepening investment by RCF, this major stakeholder of Ambre’s,” said Fuller. “But really, there will be no changes.

Making time for play is hard work

BY SHARI PHIEL news@thechronicleonline.com

ST HELENS — McBride Elementary School needs a new playground. But like other schools in the district, there just isn’t any money in the budget for the $150,000 needed to replace the aging structure. But the parents students at McBride aren’t letting that get in their way.

“The school and the parent teacher organization have been talking about, and have known about this playground for years being a concern,” said parent Tim Mosterdyke. “They started getting really serious about pursuing it last year.”

Mosterdyke presentED plans for a new playground, one that even includes a zip line, to the St. Helens School Board last September. The group is hoping to pay for the new play structure through grants and fundraising efforts.

The proposed playground includes costs to remove the existing structure, just over $90,000

The playground structures at McBridge Elementary are in desperate need of replacement. Parents, teachers and staff are working hard to make it happen.

for the purchase of the new structure, which is designed for 5-9 year olds, $1,000 for disposal of the existing structure, $18,600 for a new play structure designed for 9-12 year olds and $33,600 for ADA-compliant rubber mulch for both structures.

The new, state-of-the-art

facility is about more than just having fun. As was mentioned at the school board meeting, recent studies have shown that recess can actually help make children smarter. The studies show that when recess is delayed, children pay less and less attention. In fact, a

major study in “Pediatrics” found that children with more than 15 minutes of recess a day were far better behaved in class than children who had shorter recess breaks or none at all.

The only description given at the time was that the robber was a white male and was last seen fleeing on foot.

Official said the robber made off with about $1,700.

Police arrived on scene within two minutes of the alarm activation and began searching the area for the suspect. Officers from the nearby St. Helens Police Department, including a K-9 officer, and deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office were called in to help, as was another K-9 unit from the Tigard Police department.

Governor Kitzhaber lends support to drive sober month

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber proclaimed December as “3D Month” in recognition of Drinking and Drugged Driving Awareness Month, a statewide effort aimed at reducing impaired driving during the holidays and into the new year. While most drivers know that even one drink before getting behind the wheel can affect performance, many are unaware that prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines can also impair driving.

“Drunk driving has traditionally received most of the attention but we’re seeing more and more instances of impaired driving caused by illegal drugs as well as prescription and over the counter medications,” said Impaired Driving Program Manager Dan Estes with the Oregon Department of Transportation. “Just because something is prescribed by a doctor or purchased legally like cold medicine doesn’t mean that it can’t cause a

serious impairment or won’t earn someone a DUI arrest if they choose to drive impaired. It’s not about the substance; it’s really about the impairment.”

Key messages, running both statewide and around the country, encourage motorists to “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over.” Another one is “Buzzed driving is drunk driving,” which draws attention to the fact that you don’t have to be legally drunk – or even drinking alcohol – to be impaired.

Estes encourages drivers to talk with their doctors or pharmacists about medicines to find out if they can cause drowsiness or other impairments. To make a real impact on safety this holiday season, Estes encourages personal responsibility.

“When it comes right down to it, the choice to

drive impaired is up to the individual,” he said. “When a person makes the right choice in the very beginning, before they ever get behind the wheel, that’s the most effective way to prevent impaired driving, before it ever starts.”

Throughout December, extra law enforcement will be working around the clock

to encourage safe driving practices. ODOT’s partners in the effort include Oregon State Police, Oregon State Sheriff’s Association, and Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, and other safety advocates.

In 2012 in Oregon, 37 percent of crashes in which someone died involved an impaired driver. Over the

past decade in the state, more than 2,000 individuals were killed and over 10,000 people were injured by drinking and drugged drivers. The financial cost of those losses is more than $9 billion, but that’s minimal compared to the pain of losing a loved one. If you are planning to host or attend a holiday gettogether this season, here are a few safety tips: Have designated drivers. Plan to have sober drivers at your party who can help get folks home safely. Volunteer to be a sober driver at someone else’s party.

Plan to stay overnight.

Make pre-arrangements to stay overnight at your friend’s home or in a hotel room where you won’t have to drive if you have been drinking.

Monitor car keys. Collect your guests’ car keys at the beginning of your event.

Then, talk with your guests before they leave about the best transportation options for them.

Be ready with a cab fare fund. Having available cash to pay cab fare for your guests if they need it reduces the stress on you. If you can’t afford to pay for it yourself, ask your guests to pitch in a few bucks on your invitation. And keep phone numbers handy.

Have plenty of soft drinks, juices and other nonalcoholic beverages available for those guests who choose not to drink.

For tips on helping young people avoid dangerous situations involving drugs, drinking and driving, or to learn about other programs aimed at reducing impaired driving, go to nhtsa.gov/ Impaired.

Everyone is encouraged to report impaired drivers to 9-1-1 or Oregon State Police at 1-800-24DRUNK (800243-7865).

AMBRE: still confident despite woes COVER: community Energy said the “challenges associated with creating a new U.S. coal export business are routinely and continually addressed in the most constructive and effective way.”

As a result, the company says it is well positioned to achieve its goal of becoming a significant U.S. coal export business as quickly as possible.

But Ambre hasn’t been without its share of troubles

lately. The company already owes RCF $110 million and the private equity firm was the only outside investor the company has been able to attract this past year.

The company’s ability to create a profitable export venture has been called into question. Ambre collected only $6.6 million in worldwide revenues over the past seven years while racking up more than $120 million in losses on its balance sheets.

Ambre has also had its share of legal woes. The

company was sued by its own mining partner, Cloud Peak Energy, in a U.S. District Court when Ambre engaged in what Cloud Peak called “various self-dealing transactions” since acquiring a half-share in the Decker Mine in November 2011. Last December, Ambre agreed to purchase the remaining 50 percent interest of the mine to settle the litigation.

In August, the two companies announced they had voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit even though “Ambre

Energy’s purchase of Cloud Peak Energy’s 50 percent interest in the Decker Mine in Montana is not expected to be completed for the foreseeable future.”

Will the two proposal before Ambre’s investors make RCF a majority owner in the company if approved?

Ambre’s response to that question was, “We value and appreciate their commitment to Ambre Energy with their continued financial support as well as their strategic input.”

MCBRIDE: holiday fundraisers just one step From PAGE A1

hold a Holiday Bazaar in the school cafeteria on Saturday, Dec. 7. There will be different vendors as well as face painting, holiday pictures and popcorn.

“McBride families and staff have been working very hard to make our fundraisers as successful as possible. We just did a wreath fundraiser that brought in almost $500,” said PTO President Angie Oehlert. “Lindsay Luttrell, one if our third grade teach-

ers, spearheaded a rummage sale this past weekend that gave us another almost $600.

The rummage sale was mostly donations from the McBride staff who also gave their time to help set up the night before.

Principal Karla Thompson gave up her entire Saturday to help run the event. “ Those aren’t the only fundraisers the PTO group has lined up for the holidays.

They have also partnered with the Columbia Theatre in Olde Towne. The theater will be selling tickets for Dec.

14 and Dec. 15 showing of “The Polar Express,” shown in 3-D, with showings at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $6 each and will include the movie, cookie and hot chocolate, and a raffle ticket.

The raffle will take place Sunday after the movie and ticket holders will not need to be present to win.

The groups fundraising efforts have certainly attracted community partners as well.

“Yo Cream Frozen Yogurt and Dutch Bros. Coffee have also generously agreed to help

us as well by letting us sell gift cards and giving us 20 percent of the sales to put towards our playground,” said Oehlert.

“We have a huge amount of money that needs to be raised and with our amazing families and community we are planning on getting something by next summer.”

For more information about any of the fundraisers, email Oehlert at antono@comcast. net or visit their website at sthelens.k12.or.us, and click on Parent Information.

SUSPECT: possible connection to Portland robberies From PAGE A1

abandoned Honda civic on Dutch Canyon near Raymond Creek Road. Officers responded to the location immediately and determined the Honda to be a stolen vehicle believed to be related to this case.

A perimeter was set up and the search for the suspect resumed. Then, a half hour later, clothing matching the description of items worn by the suspect during the robbery was found by the St. Helens

K-9 unit about a quarter mile south of where the stolen car was found.

Investigators with the Scappoose Police Department, Gresham Police Department, Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, Portland Police Bureau, and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office worked together to share information and develop a possible suspect.

Just a few days later, detectives were continuing their investigation when two suspects allegedly entered another

Fred Meyer store, this one at 22855 Northeast Park Lane in Wood Village, and robbed that bank location. That robbery occurred on Nov. 26.

Police said the suspects attempted to escape capture but were taken into custody by the robbery detectives.

Both Johnson and Beisley were arrested and booked into the Multnomah County Jail on a U.S. Marshal’s hold.

Johnson is a suspect in a string of bank robberies that occurred in Portland over the three day period between Saturday, Nov.

16 and Monday, Nov. 18.

Like the Scappoose robbery, the Portland robberies were committed by a male wielding a note rather than a weapon.

Formal federal bank robbery charges are pending.

Scappoose Library waives fines for Share and Care

Once again the Scappoose Public Library will be accepting Food for Fines during the entire month of December.

For every non-perishable food item donated, the library will waive $1 worth of fines.

There is no cap to the amount waived.

Unfortunately, charges for lost items cannot be waived.

Share and Care, sponsored by Kiwanis Club and Scappoose Fire District, has placed a collection barrel at the library until Dec. 20. Items donated after the 20th will go to the Scappoose Food Bank.

Suggested donations include: canned vegetables, canned and dried fruit, canned soup, ramen, peanut butter, cereals, rice, and beans.

partners ready to help From PAGE A1 Oregon website was already experiencing some delays with the increased volume seen earlier in the week.

As of Dec. 2, Cover Oregon said it had enrolled about 3,500 people in health care plans and had another 54,000 applications to process.

There are actually several ways to get your application in. Go online to CoverOregon.com to get an application. Along with submitting it online, you can print it out and mail or fax it to Cover Oregon. You can also call 1-855-CoverOR (1-855268-3767) to request an application but it may be too late for that option for many people.

While the website may be the easiest route for those used to do all their shopping online, you don’t have to submit your application online. There are certified insurance agents like those at ISNW or community partners available to assist you at no cost.

Find a searchable list of partners in your area at CoverOregon.com.

The Public Health Foundation of Columbia County is one of those community partners. The agency will be offering assistance at its St. Helens location and some of its school-based health centers

in other communities. For more information, call 503-397-4651.

Other upcoming deadlines: Dec. 15: Those purchasing individual insurance will need to have selected a plan and completed enrollment in order to have coverage in place Jan. 1. Not worried about a break in coverage? Then you have until March 31 to sign up.

Dec. 31: If you have signed up for coverage, you must pay your insurance provider by Dec. 31 or your policy will not take effect.

Letters To the Republic On Wednesday, Nov. 20, the repeal of the bureaucratic GBJ policy that was contrary to state law OR 166.370, was discussed once again at the St. Helens School District board meeting.

There was a lot of passion on both sides of the issue, but a lot of emotion and made up facts from some who opposed the repeal. One teacher went on a rant about how if the board was concerned about “Constitutional rights,” he should get all of his.

One example he gave was his right to free speech; he should be able to cuss in class. What he may not know is that there is no such thing as Constitutional rights.

Our rights are inherent and inalienable and come from nature and God. Liberty is freedom with morals and cussing in class doesn’t sound very moral.

Your rights can’t intrude on others’ rights. The Constitution limits government, tells them what they can’t touch and puts checks in place, it doesn’t give you rights.

One teacher spewed that our country is a Democratic republic as he announced that he was a “Kool-Aid drinker,” and a liberal that would never change.

Lenin called them useful

Speedbump

idiots. Here is a lesson for him. The word Democracy comes from two Greek words, Demos (people) and Kratien (to rule), which equals majority rule.

Republic comes from the Latin words Res (thing) and Publica (public), which equals the public thing, the law. We are a Republic, under the rule of law.

Our founders hated Democracies; as they are short lived and a transformation from a Republic to an oligarchy. The word Democracy is not in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution or any state constitution in our great republic. Look it up, but you will notice that Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution says that every state will be guaranteed a republican form of government.

In closing, I would like to say that we prepare for fires at school and have not had a single child die in a school fire in over 50 years.

Isn’t it a good idea to let teachers train, get licensed and carry a concealed weapon if they choose, no matter how small the chance of a school attack.

It’s common sense, state law, their inherent right and I believe their duty as a citizen. As for the “Kool-Aid drinker”, he should try tea; it tastes better and increases your I.Q.

Chris Brumbles, Deer Island Look up Those are not contrails or clouds. Look up! Our skies no longer look normal. Our skies are being sprayed with chemicals folks and “We The People” must stop it.

They spray every day on the hour from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. They will claim it is for global warming but that is a hoax. They will tell you they are contrails but those disappear instantly but these linger in the air and they are called chemtrails.

They form odd shapes and lines. Research chemtrails and geo-engineering and then make some noise to your elected officials.

The federal government is doing it and your tax dollars are paying for it without your permission or knowledge.

I have been documenting this with photos and video for over seven months now but it has been going on for decades. Its up to you and I to stop this and its happening all over the country and world.

The media lies and covers up for those who are doing the spraying and we must tell everyone we know so we can stop it. Ask the local weathermen to explain. They won’t.

Please be one who is

awake and aware and help others to do the same. I will be working to get a state initiative to a public vote to

ban poisons in our air, water and food supplies. Please help if you can. Look for details at a later date.

difficulty getting political leaders on board.

“A fear has set in that if they vote for the bill they won’t get reelected. It’s that plain, it’s that simple,” said Diane Feinstein on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”

Seeing this outrages many, especially those who feel very strongly that change has to happen to control gun use in this country.

“I think there is a hammerlock on Congress by the gun owners and gun people, and it doesn’t matter… The gun used at the LAX was the same model as the gun used in the 2012 Aurora, Colora-

do movie-theater shooting,” Feinstein added.

The rifle may be the same but the shooter wasn’t, meaning that the gun isn’t what killed or wounded those people, it was the man behind it.

Many Americans share the view that resolutions to problems have to be one way or the other, rather than incorporate both perspectives.

According to an April 2013 CNN article, “The leading Senate negotiations on gun control legislation favor expanding background checks.”

The first step to making civilians more comfortable is not removing gun use, but controlling those who have access to rifles via thorough background checks and mandatory gun handling safety courses. The article goes on to say, “Democratic negotiators are hopeful that a deal on background checks can win enough Republican support.”

Through the support of our two largest branches of government, those opposing the idea of Americans owning guns will get partial to what they are wishing, and gun owners will be able

to keep their weapons after passing a background check.

With this topic it sparks a fire in countless amounts of citizens; leaving it rather difficult to gratify all of them, someone is bound to be unhappy or even enraged.

Congress and the Senate should take this matter into the consideration of both sides of the spectrum, and put together a bill that not only puts the best interest of Americans first, but also gratifies the thoughts and opinions of the people. You will never be able to please both sides, but that doesn’t mean you can’t try.

Viewpoints

BY MORGAN MACINNIS Scappoose High School

For years there has been an ongoing battle over the decision that needs to be made about gun control.

Just like every other dispute, both sides have some very good arguments to this conflict. Laws on gun control range from complete repeal to Americans having full control over these weapons.

Many of our country’s major leaders would agree that what the American people think has influenced many of the decisions they have

made. While others claim that is exactly what their job entails, taking the feelings and opinions of the American people into consideration and making laws that put Americans’ best interests first, keep in mind what a majority of America is wishing for.

Studies have shown that on average 34 percent of American households contain guns, and an average of 19 percent know how to operate one accurately.

Many states have started proposing laws to maintain what has been said to be unruly gunplay, but are having

Building Tiny – Joe Mauck – High School Building Construction There is a growing trend to go green. The St. Helen’s high school Building Construction department is at the educational head of this movement. They might be the only high school in the nation to be building tiny houses. It’s educational, it covers the whole process of building a house, it saves money, and it makes students think about what is really necessary for their habitation. From framing to roofing with electrical and plumbing installed, they’ve got it covered. Want to see? Watch their latest video online! http://www.sthelens.k12.or.us/Page/3762

As the year goes on we will have teachers write short blurbs once a month about what is going on in their classrooms, with their students and about their work.

Enjoy.

In Ms. Speiser’s Classroom at the Middle School Students recently finished reading “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card. Thanks to generous donations through Donors Choose, each student gets to keep a copy of the book. Students were excited to finish the book before the movie came out, and most students agree that the book was tons better than the movie! The book brought up many of real word questions about the moral responsibility of governments and the validity of the ends jus-

In Mrs. Alexander’s Classroom – Lewis and Clark In my class, students are working diligently to understand the concept of multiplication as well as master their basic multiplication facts. We learned about multiplying equal groups with Skittles. And then we ate our work! Who knew math could be so tasty! We are learning how to use sensory details in our writing to create vivid images in the reader’s minds. Our Thanksgiving poems evoke the colors of autumn, the sounds of laughter, and the smell of roasted turkey. We also love great books, and have just finished reading Poppy by Avi. Poppy, the deer mouse, took us on a breathtaking adventure through Dimwood Forest. We were inspired by her courage and determination when confronting her bully, Mr. Ocax.

SISSY (F) Sissy is a tiny tiny little thing at about 2 years old. She is super thin and we are working on getting some weight on her. She is blind in one eye (an apparent injury as a baby) and has compensated for it very well. We believe that she may have some limited sight from it. Sissy is adjusting very well to being in a home environment, but will need time and patience in her continued recovery. She has a super affectionate personality and would love to hang out on a lap all day. She has gotten past her hand fears and will come to be picked up.

Choosing the perfect Christmas tree is often a very personal experience.

Perhaps the green branches of the well-loved Douglasfir or Noble fir delight you.

But if you want to give the star of your living room a different look this winter, Oregon State University Extension Service Christmas tree specialist Chal Landgren suggests Nordmann and Turkish firs – two closely related species with similar characteristics.

Both species arrived in Oregon from Turkey and Russia in the 1960s. To this day, Douglas and Noble firs still make up 95 percent of Oregon’s Christmas tree market, according to Landgren. But he has seen more farms growing Nordmann and Turkish firs in recent years. Your best bet to find them is at a choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm, he said.

“The benefits for the grower are that they are not as prone to the insect and disease problems that affect other species,” said Landgren, a horticulture professor in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

“For the consumer, these firs have characteristics that are more like Noble firs. They have heavy branches for ornaments and their needles stay on for a long time rather than falling onto the carpet,

with the provision that they’re kept in water.”

More than 130,000 Nordmann firs worth $2.1 million were sold in Oregon in 2010, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Another species Landgren recommends is the Grand fir. It has a pleasant fir scent, he said, but it tends to be more perishable unless kept in water than other species. He also suggests Fraser fir, a pretty tree native to North Carolina that looks like a Noble with smaller needles that stay on the tree for a long time.

To find specific tree species at Oregon farms, Landgren recommends searching the Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association’s online directory at nwchristmastrees.org/find-your-perfect-christmas-tree.

Landgren offered the following suggestions for keeping your dream tree at its best during the holidays: At the farm, pick out a tree that looks fresh and healthy, with needles that snap like a carrot. Shake the tree a few times to get rid of old needles.

When you bring the tree home, cut a quarter-inch slice off the base of the tree to allow it to take up water in the stand.

Choose a stand that can hold a quart of water for every inch of the stem diameter.

Place the tree in water if you are storing it prior to

putting it up in your living room.

Check the water level daily. Trees will be very thirsty in the first few days inside a heated home. If you keep your house warm, the tree can dry out quickly.

Don’t put additives in the water. You may have heard rumors that vodka, bleach, aspirin, sugar and

any number of substances can preserve a tree; this is a myth. Some additives can actually cause the tree to shed needles or dry out faster. It just needs clean, cold water, Landgren said.

Nob Hill Nature Park: the 2013 year in review

BY CAROLINE SKINNER Submitted to The Chronicle

Nob Hill Nature Park is a small, oak-woodland and natural area in St Helens. The Friends of Nob Hill Nature Park, which is an all-volunteer group, serve as park stewards. Once again, we are thankful to all those who have helped us this year. We had a good turnout at both of our semi-annual work parties, held on the first Saturday in April and November.

At the April work party, we enjoyed help from Scappoose Cub Scout Troop 294.

After touring the park, we did some planting in the lower section, and handpulled blackberry that had re-sprouted. Since that time, we’ve had a strong resurgence of Pacific ninebark in an area that was formerly choked with blackberry. We also saw spring trillium and

fawn lily in bloom.

It was a great year for larkspur (delphinium nutalii).

In June, we had Jason Clinch come out from Native Plant Society of Oregon.

He inventoried the electric blue larkspur as part of that group’s Rare Plant Watch program. We saw other wildflowers, too, including white prairie star and bright yellow western buttercup. We also harvested some dry camas seed and replanted it in other parts of the park, in hopes of improving our dwindling camas areas.

In both March and July, we had help from the county corrections work crew to cut back some heavy blackberries, creating a new, open area ready for more native plants. Through Scappoose Bay Watershed Council (SBWC), we also hired a restoration work crew to sweep the park to spot treat for other blackberry re-sprouts.

In November, a group of eight hardy volunteers came out, despite the forecast for cold, hard rain. Thanks to Chas McCoy of SBWC, we had 25 native plants to put into our newly cleared area of the park near South Fourth Street, behind the big fir tree.

Fortunately, we only had a few rain showers and some autumn sun too. We used mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds at the base of each new plant. Some of those plantings include Indian plum, thimbleberry, Mahonia, vine maple, elderberry and madrone. We also planted a dozen wild iris, or iris tenax, donated by Joan Rainey.

The next day, we went back and screened some of the new plants with chicken wire to protect them from deer. Part of the group also pulled ivy from along this area’s edge. Each work party has a big impact on the

park’s health. It is slowly returning to a more natural state as we continue to battle invasive, non-native plants.

Oak woodlands like Nob Hill were once common throughout the Willamette Valley, covering up to two million acres. Today it is considered a rare and valuable habitat, so we are fortunate to have this special place in St Helens. We thank SBWC and the City of St Helens Parks Department for ongoing support of Nob Hill Nature Park.

To visit, take Gable Road at Wal-Mart in St. Helens.

Go toward the river. Bear right on Plymouth Street and go until you see the wastewater treatment plant on your right. There is plenty of easy parking at the water treatment plant across from the park’s main entrance.

We hope to see you at our next work party, on Saturday, April 5, 2014 or in the park this winter.

‘Baby Austin’ history is a mystery If you’ve ever bought a classic car, there’s a good chance you’ve wondered who its previ-

ous owners were. That kind of curiosity sent Colin Morgan around the world – at least elec-

tronically.

Morgan – who lives in Manchester, England – is looking for informa-

tion on a 1928 Austin 7 Chummy he says once belonged to a retired doctor in St. Helens in the early 1990s.

“These old cars often generate a lot of interest as they have interesting stories attached to them,” he said “And they stir up old memories.”

The Austin 7 was an economy car made by the Austin Motor Company in the United Kingdom from 1922 until 1939. One of the most popular cars ever produced from the British market, the “Baby Austin” as it was nicknames, also sold well overseas.

Morgan’s Baby Austin is now back in its native country but he says he would love to find out how it first made its way to the States and who purchased it.

Anyone with information on the car is asked to send an email to: colinmorgan007@yahoo. co.uk.

SHS WreStling Coach speak: Jim Jones, 13th year The Tillamook Cheesemakers edged Scappoose for a Region I championship last season. This year, the Indians are looking to exact a bit of revenge.

According to SHS coach Jim Jones, there’s a pretty good chance that both the Cowapa League title and the Region I title will be a battle between the Cheesemakers and the Indians.

“I think depending how things shake out, I think us and Tillamook will be strong at regionals. Estacada might do well too,” Jones said.

With a strong group of Region I place-winners returning to the Tribe lineup this year (see right), Jones thinks Scappoose has a shot at topping Tillamook.

“Our team goal is to win district, win regional, beat Tillamook and win a trophy at state. A trophy at state is a lofty goal, but I feel we have a shot at getting a trophy,” he said.

In order to make those trophy dreams a reality, the Indians will need to spread out their lineup. Jones said currently there is a lot of talent bunched up between 145160 pounds, while some of the lower weight classes don’t have as many wrestlers.

“We need to try and fill in there, get the young guys confident and ready for districts,” Jones said.

Based on what he’s seen during the first two weeks of practice, Jones has every reason to believe the team will develop nicely throughout the season.

“It’s a quality group of kids. Practices have been smooth, very focused. The work ethic has been very good,” Jones said.

In addition to the half-dozen wrestlers Scappoose sent to last year’s state meet, there are plenty of new additions ready to punch themselves a ticket this year.

Jones said sophomore Braxton Sue should have an even better season this year now that he weighs 106 pounds. Last year, Jones said, Sue wrestled at 106 (the lowest OSAA weight class) while weighing only 96 pounds. Jones said Tyson Broadbent, and Logan Brooks have both improved from a season ago. Cody Erhardt and Steven Wells have both looked good thus far in practice, Jones said.

Freshmen Zach Gadbois and Clayton Dietz should both contribute during their debut seasons at the high school level as well.

Senior Hunter Hoyt is one of several tough wrestlers in the Scappoose lineup between 145-160 pounds.

Conference breakdown Four Region I teams are ranked in The OWF’s top 10 preseason rankings, with Scappoose ranked tenth. The three teams ahead of Scappoose are Tillamook (fifth), Estacada (seventh) and North Marion (eighth). Those were the top four teams at last year’s regional competition, and SHS coach Jim Jones said there’s a good shot things will shake out close to the same this year near the top.

Scappoose’s loss of Kurt Mode – who moved back to Crook County – will leave an opening in the lower weight classes. However, there is plenty of reason to be optimistic about Scappoose’s chances of returning to the state meet. Three Indians – senior Isaiah Goodrich, senior Taylor Walden and junior Devin Ray – have wrestled at multiple state meets.

Walden is looking to return to state for a fourth time this season.

SHHS BOYS BASKETBALL Coach speak: Jerry Allen, 3rd year By the numbers There will be a new look to the St. Helens Lions boys basketball team this year. Last year’s Lions’ squad featured a senior class that had played a lot of time at the varsity level dating back to its sophomore season.

That means there will be a lot of minutes to go around to new faces this season.

When asked which youngsters look poised to step up, SHHS coach Jerry Allen said it was hard to tell at this point.

One spot on the floor the Lions appear to be set is at the point guard position, where senior Tanner Long is a two-time All-League selection. He should be among the top players at the position in the Northwest Oregon Conference this season.

Senior Corey West emerged as an offensive weapon late in the season last year, leading the team in scoring four times. Both West and senior Gage Bumgardner will see their responsibilities increase this season. They will be looked at to play in the post this season. Height is an area St. Helens isn’t particularly gifted.

“We have some size, but not a lot that’s played varsity,” Allen said.

Long, West and Bumgardner are part of another big senior class, albeit one without a ton of experience. The senior group’s leadership will be key in determining how successful the season will be for the Lions.

“We need the seniors to give the younger guys confidence, need senior leadership,” Allen said.

A big part of providing leadership will be making sure the team takes on an aggressive attitude.

“If we play aggressive and tough, I’m not concerned with the wins. I’m concerned with how we’re competing. Are we stepping on the court and competing night-in and night-out? The wins will come,” Allen said.

Through the first two weeks of practice, he said the progress had been coming along.

“They’re working really hard, listening. The young kids are adjusting to the pace, the speed of the game,” Allen said.

Top returning scorers from the 2012-13 season

Tanner Long 8.92 points per game Corey West 5.72 points per game Gage Bumgardner 2.24 points per game

Senior Devon Jewett, left, and junior Ryne Poorman will compete for time in the St. Helens’ backcourt.

Conference breakdown St. Helens coach Jerry Allen said Parkrose could be the surprise of the league this season. The Broncos were 2-12 in league play last season, finishing in last place. But Allen said they could end up near the top of the NWOC this season.

“Parkrose should be good, got a couple transfers in, have a

sophomore that is good,” Allen said.

He said Wilsonville has historically had a good program and doesn’t figure that to change this season. Sandy and Liberty also have Allen’s attention based on what those schools return from a season ago.

“Our league is gonna be good.

We have quality coaches from

SHHS Boys Basketball continued on Page B6 Conference breakdown

SHS BOYS BASKETBALL

Scappoose lost a lot of talent from last year’s team, but reigning Coach of the Year Rahim Tufts believes the road to a Cowapa League Championship runs through Scappoose.

“This year I think it’s a toss-up.

Obviously, I’m biased: I think we’re gonna win. I think we’re gonna get a title, but it’s not gonna be easy,” Tufts said.

He pointed to Tillamook returning two All-League players, as well as a lights-out shooter from the Cheesemakers’ JV team last year. Seaside returns the bulk of its lineup intact. Banks will be led by athletic senior Garrett Markham as it looks to improve on a winless campaign a season ago.

“Everybody has weapons,” Tufts said. “It’s gonna be a dogfight.

We’re gonna win, but it’s not gonna be easy. I’m really confident in our guys’ work ethic to get better.”

Coach speak: Rahim Tufts, 3rd year Owners of the last two Cowapa League basketball championships, the Scappoose Indians figure they may as well make it three in a row during the 2013-14 season.

Although the Tribe lost a lot of production to graduation in June, coach Rahim Tufts said there are plenty of guys waiting in the wings to pick up where the 2012-13 group left off.

“This being my third year, guys have been running the system, running the stuff. They ran it all summer,” Tufts said. “After the third or fourth day, the coaches looked at each other and we’re like ‘Wow, we’re ahead of where we were last year four days in.’ We’re excited about it.”

The coach said a trio of seniors that saw some varsity action last year – Taylor Loss, Tracy Scruggs and Mitch Davis – has assumed leadership roles on the team.

Those three are joined by three other seniors: Isaiah O’Brien, Will Sprute and Sam

top to bottom,” Allen said.

As far as where he sees his Lions fitting in among the NWOC’s hierarchy, Allen was hesitant to make a prediction this early in the season.

If the core group of Lions show the same resolve they did on the football field this fall, it’s safe to say they’ll be toward the upper half come February.

Margheim on this year’s roster.

Tufts said junior posts Chase Johnson and Ethan Marcantonio both look significantly improved from last year. At 6-9 (Marcantonio) and 6-4 (Johnson), they should provide an interior presence for the Indians. “(Johnson) is just relentless crashing the boards, defending, just everything. Ethan too. They’ve both improved a lot,” Tufts said.

The improvement shown by Johnson and Marcantonio is part of a team-wide trend.

Tufts said it was clear from an early shirtsand-skins practice that his players have been dedicated to improving over the offseason, particularly in the weight room with strength coach Joe Nowlin.

“Coach Nowlin, we have to give him a lot of credit. He really pushes those guys to become better athletes, to become faster, stronger. Every sports program benefits from that,” Tufts said.

SHHS GIRLS BASKETBALL Coach speak: Billy McKinney, 3rd year With several contributors returning from last year’s squad, the 2013-14 St. Helens Lions girls basketball team is looking to improve on its 8-16 season.

In his third year as head coach, Billy McKinney is excited for the upcoming season. He thinks this team’s combination of speed and size will pay big dividends. That combo, McKinney said, should disrupt the opposing team’s transition game.

“We have some tall, lanky kids that can get up the floor,” he said.

It’s not just flat-out foot speed either; this group is also quick. During a preseason practice drill, defenders were actively hopping in and out of passing lanes disrupting the offense. That activity on the defensive end should create plenty of turnovers and fastbreak opportunities for this group of Lions. With speedsters Nicole Harcourt and Rianne Tupper in the backcourt, that could equate to several easy lay-ins.

Both of those two players saw plenty of time last season, as did seniors Brittney Bartolomucci, Kennen Hembree, Jessica Amick and Lucy KyleMilward.

The Lions lost their two top scorers from a season ago in Jillian Ross and Michelle Sass, but with Tupper, Bartolomucci and Harcourt, they have three of their top five back this year.

Also bringing varsity experience are junior Bella Roth and sophomores Anika Bingaman and Lydia Reardon.

McKinney said sophomore Emily Nolette should factor into the rotation this season as well.

Senior guard Nicole Harcourt will look to push the tempo for St. Helens this season.

Conference breakdown

After an undefeated NWOC season a year ago, the reigning league champion Milwaukie Mustangs have several holes to fill in their lineup, making a repeated run at the title a challenge. Liberty and Parkrose look like they might be in the best position to contend for a title, although there could be quite a bit of parity in the conference this season.

After finishing last season on a nine-game losing skid, St. Helens will look to improve on its two-win league season. The key to the Lions’ ability to do that will be playing hard-nosed defense, converting fast-break opportunities and limiting their turnovers.

SHS GIRLS BASKETBALL Coach speak: David Spirlin, 1st year An experienced nucleus of nine seniors will lead the Scappoose High School girls basketball team into the 2013-14 campaign. That includes the bulk of the production from last year’s squad, which had only two seniors.

Although the team will be full of experience, the group is still adapting to the Tribe’s third head coach during their four years in school. David Spirlin is heading the program this year following Kevin Buse’s one-year stint.

Spirlin has been coaching at various levels in California, Oregon and Washington for the last three decades. His basketball philosophy is rooted in his years of experience.

“My philosophy is we can always outwork other teams. You can always outwork the other team no matter the talent level,” Spirlin said. “That’s something I learned in high school: You can’t do anything about talent but you can always outwork someone. That’s been my mentality ever since I’ve been coaching back in the ’80s. If you just outwork the opponent, if you do that, everything will come out fine.”

To that end, Spirlin’s team will put forth a lot of effort on the defensive end of the floor in particular. He said he plans to vary the team’s defensive sets, but not the mindset.

“My philosophy is we’re just gonna get after you,” he said.

On offense, Spirlin said he’s excited about the

range of talent he’s inherited.

“We have some height, we have some post players. We have some kids that are pretty quick.

We have a couple girls that can actually shoot the threes. I’m really excited that we can be well-rounded,” Spirlin said. “We have a little bit of everything. I gotta take advantage especially of the post play, gotta get the ball inside and work inside-out.”

Scoring the ball shouldn’t be an issue. Posts Abby Kessi and Brittany Catlow and guard Lacey Updike combined to score more than half of the Tribe’s points last season. Fellow seniors Jenny Vardanega, Haley Wight, Lexi Courtney and Morgan MacInnis also played plenty of minutes in 2012-13.

Spirlin warned it may take a little while for the Indians to fully grasp his offensive concepts. But when they finally do, he thinks SHS fans will like what they see.

“It’s a work in progress. I can see the potential.

Once it clicks we’re gonna be pretty good. We just gotta get there. Hopefully it won’t take too long. I’m throwing a lot of new stuff at the girls.

They’re very receptive to it,” he said.

If all goes as planned, the girls will need to be receptive to extending their season a little longer than they have the last couple seasons.

“We want to have a fourth quarter in March,” Spirlin said.

SHHS SWIMMING

SHS SWIMMING Coach speak: David Richmond, 9th year

Coach speak: Bill Rash, 8th year The numbers are down a little bit from where they’ve been in the past few years for the St. Helens Lions swim team, but the expectations are not.

While Lion coach Bill Rash admits the team has lost some “pretty big guns” to graduation in Devon Brady, Jared Houghtelling and Emily Spears, there’s still plenty of reason to be optimistic about the squad’s prospects for the 201314 season.

The girls bring back a lot of talented swimmers with a lot of varsity experience.

“The girls should be pretty good, could be in the top three,” Rash said.

The girls will be led by the likes of Brook Hopkins, Jackie Prevish, Patience Marshall, Tori Edwards, Johanna Parkhurst and Ashley Stewart – all of whom contributed points at last season’s district meet.

“Brook Hopkins is pretty versatile. Jackie Prevish is out, her sister Jenny is out for the first time this year,” Rash said.

Another Prevish – Jonathan – will help solidify the boys’ team. Rash said he has looked good in practice thus far, and that

there is some good versatility among the boy swimmers.

Dillon Swatski is looking real strong. He “D can swim back, fly or breast,” Rash said.

Cameron Lein looks good. He can do “C most anything, probably freestyle. Trevor Moss looks good in the free, the back.”

He said senior Jacob Zartman should also help the team. All in all, he thinks the boys stand a good shot of joining the girls among the top three teams in the league.

Conference breakdown St. Helens coach Bill Rash is confident both of his teams will be in the upper half of the Northwest Oregon Conference. While it’s far too early to make assumptions, he allowed the girls could be in the conversation for a second-place finish.

The league title, he said, looks to be Sandy’s.

“The Sandy girls are probably unbeatable,” Rash said. In addition to having an array of All-League swimmers back, the Pioneers gained a big-time freshman as well.

“They gained an Olympic qualifier,” Rash said.

On the boys side, Rash said the title race could be a shootout between Parkrose and Sherwood, with St. Helens and Liberty possibly figuring into the mix as well.

SHHS Swimming continued on Page B6

If the first 10 days of practice are any indication, this year’s Scappoose High School swimming team will be posting a lot of fast times. Head coach David Richmond said early time trials have shown the student-athletes are not only ahead of where they were at this time a season ago, but they’re also posting times better than those they had at the end of the season.

“The boys medley relay could be pretty good this year. The times are already ahead of last year,” Richmond said, before pointing out that those times did not include starts or turns. “Five guys PRed in the 50 free during the first week of practice,” Richmond said.

The only down side of that is that the five swimmers constitutes nearly a quarter of the team: Scappoose has about 22 swimmers out between the boys and girls

teams. Richmond said that of those 22, more than half of them are returners.

And the newcomers have shown experience in the pool as well.

“Most of the new kids have a good base,” Richmond said. “The new kids have a lot of potential.”

They’ll try to build on the lead of experienced varsity swimmers like Sam Herscovitz, Stefany Alvarez, Marry Rotter, Kenny Klippel and Kiara Single. Those five will provide a solid core.

Richmond is hopeful the Indians will be able to fill in some of the other spots around those swimmers as well.

“We have a lot of second-year kids, so we’re hoping it will be like last year where we built up toward February and got better near the end of the season, districts,” Richmond said.

Sophomore Trace Sweeney aims to improve on a promising freshman campaign.

The Scappoose girls have won four straight Cowapa League titles and they will have their sights set on yet another one. SHS coach David Richmond said Tillamook will provide a challenge in repeating that league title. When it comes to the District Meet, Taft’s girls will also be in the hunt for first place.

On the boys side of things, Seaside is a perennial favorite in the Cowapa League.

“They always get 20-25 boys out,” Richmond said.

When adding in the other District I teams, Scappoose will have to be concerned with Rainier, which has had quite a bit of success in recent years.

SHHS WRESTLING Coach speak: J.R. Jackson, 1st year Following a disappointing season a year ago, there is hope that an influx of talented freshmen, a new coach and a few key additions elsewhere in the lineup will help turn things around in the St. Helens High School wrestling program.

J.R. Jackson is in his first year as head coach and he believes his lineup is deep at nearly every weight class. “We’re strong from 106-152, two to three deep at a lot of different weight classes,� he said. As the season progresses, he expects to see the Lions fill in those upper classes with competent wrestlers as well.

Jackson said freshman Colton Albertson looks ready to step into the 220-pound weight class, while a pair of brothers who transferred from Corvallis High School will be forces at heavyweight.

Junior Cody Jackson – J.R.’s son – figures to contend for an individual league title at 120 pounds. He is also new to the SHHS program. Jackson qualified for the 4A state tournament at 106 pounds as a freshman for Scappoose, then missed his sophomore season with a back injury.

Jackson said three other talented freshmen should also step right in and contribute to the varsity lineup: Tyler Cooper, Myles Terry and Haidon Allen.

A season after the Lions struggled to fill out a lineup for much of the season, numbers don’t seem to be an issue yet. “We’re only gaining kids so far – nobody is quitting,� Jackson said. Of the 34 wrestlers out, all but about a half-dozen are experienced wrestlers. “Pretty pleasantly surprised. We have experienced wrestlers,� Jackson said.

Senior Kip Beebe (facing camera) and freshman Colton Albertson work on takedowns during practice.

Conference breakdown SHHS coach J.R. Jackson said Sandy enters the season as favorites to take home a Northwest Oregon Conference title. But, Jackson said, his Lions should finish in the upper half of the league. “We should have a shot at getting third or fourth. If we

develop throughout the year, we could end up second,� he said.

That would be a large step up after St. Helens finished last a season ago. At last season’s district meet, St. Helens entered only 12 wrestlers. Three of them – all of whom have now

graduated – advanced to the state meet.

St. Helens will look to increase the number of wrestlers heading to Memorial Coliseum this season. If they’re successful in doing so, the Lions will likely move up in the NWOC team standings as well.
