Boating safety gets a hand at docks BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

This weekend marks the return of an annual holiday favorite, the Christmas Ship Parade. The flotilla of decorated boats from the Columbia and Willamette Fleets will make its way up the Columbia

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — The second round of aid and assist hearings scheduled in the Daniel Butts case has run into further delays. According to Columbia County District Daniel Butts Attorney Stephen Atchison, Butts’ attorneys are in the process of appealing a recent ruling made by Judge Ted Grove, leading the judge to reschedule the hearing dates. Atchison said prior to scheduling the aid and assist hearing, attorneys for Butts had filed three motions in the case pertaining to the use of a stun belt; whether Butts should be housed in the Columbia County Jail or at another jail; and requesting a guardian be appointed because of Butts’ alleged mental status. Just days before the aid and assist hearing was scheduled to begin on Nov. 28, Grove denied all three of the defense’s motions. “The defense said they were going to appeal those decisions on the theory that the stun belt issue is going to be an issue for further hearings because ‘If you don’t

River to the St. Helens City Docks at 6 p.m. on Dec. 8 before heading downriver to Columbia City. If the weather holds out, the fleets will cross to the Washington side before heading back to the city docks, where the boats will remain overnight and then head up the Multnomah Channel the next day. But last year’s tragic death of John Sullivan, a St. Helens man who died after falling from one of the parade ships, has organizers focusing on safety. Sullivan had been a guest on board one of the ships, which had already completed the parade route and returned to the docks. Sullivan fell from the ship into the Columbia River. Witnesses said he may have been injured during the fall. High school junior Danny Romjue, the son of longtime parade

organizer Doug Romjue, has found a way to not only remind participants about the need for safety but to also help improve safety. Danny is building a life vest station to be housed near the city docks where donated life vests can be borrowed and used while visiting the docks or out on a boat. “It’s really a two-part project. The first part would be the awareness of the need for safety. On Dec. 8, we’re having a fundraiser to make a permanent solution and to bring awareness to the fact that the docks can be unsafe,” said Danny. Under Oregon State Marine Board law, all boats are required to have one personal flotation device for each person aboard. Also, all children age 12 and under must wear See SAFETY, Page A4

New security measures in place at the Columbia County Courthouse mean the east parking

On Nov. 19, a total of 17 courthouses across Oregon received phoned in bomb threats. The threats appeared to be similar to eight reported bomb threats in Washington State on Nov. 15 and nine reported threats in Nebraska made on Nov. 2. The Oregon State Police General Headquarters in the Public Service Building in Salem also received a similar report that same day. Many of the locations receiving threats evacuated while law enforcement officials conducted checks for suspicious objects.

DEQ meeting to focus on Port Morrow coal export project BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

CLATSKANIE — The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will hold an informational meetings regarding Ambre Energy’s proposed Port Morrow coal export project in Clatskanie on Dec. 5. The Austraila-based energy company has proposed creating a coal export terminal to transport as much as 8.8 million tons of coal a year from its mining opera-

tions in the Powder River Basing in Montana and Wyoming by train to the Coyote Island Terminal at the Port of Morrow in Boardman and store the coal there in covered buildings. The company would then ship the coal in covered barges to a Port of St. Helens dock at Port Westward in Clatskanie where the coal would then be off loaded onto Panamax-sized ships for export primarily to Asian markets. See DEQ, Page A4

Thankfully, all of the reports were determined to be unfounded. But the recent security threat also shed light on a recent change at the Columbia County Courthouse that is expected to make that building a little safer. “People visiting the courthouse are used to parking in the back lot on the riverside of the building are not any longer going to be able to access the building from those doors,” said Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller. As of Nov. 19, all visitors coming into the courthouse will have to do so through the main entrance on the west side of the building. The entry doors, which were particularly

popular with those doing business with the land development offices, will now only be accessible to county employees. “We’ve moved our employee parking and our county vehicle parking to the riverside of the building and public parking is on the west side of the building by the main entrance. That will be the only door open to the public,” said Heimuller. Although the county recognizes this may be an inconvenience, officials believe it is far outweighed by the increased security. “This is a security measure that See SECURITY, Page A4

Watts House invites you to their home for the holidays BY SAMANTHA SWINDLER The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — The Watts House Pioneer Museum, Scappoose’s 110-year-old Victorian house and home to the Scappoose Historical Society, has opened its doors to the community for the holiday season. The house and museum is open for Christmas tours from 4–8 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout December, in addition to its regular 10 a.m.– 2 p.m. hours on Saturdays. “Every room is decorated for Christmas,” said Barb Hayden, president of the Scappoose Historical Society. “We have for the first time this year invited the community in to help. The boosters, the

Friends of the Library and the Chamber of Commerce all adopted a room.” Also new this year, the rope barriers that once kept visitors outside of each room have been removed, and the community is invited to explore the entire historic house. “We’re opening this museum back up to the community,” said Hayden, who is completing the first of her two-year term as president. “In the past you had to have somebody with you and there were ropes inside the doors, and I have totally done away with that. People are free to roam throughout the house and look at things.” Museum representatives will be inside the home, ready to answer questions about its history or contents. Tours are free, but See WATTS, Page A4

Dutch Bros. donation day

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

Dutch Bros. in Scappoose and St. Helens will be among all 190 locations of the coffee chain to participate in the Buck-4-Kids Day event on Dec. 7.

On Dec. 7, all 190 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations across seven states will donate drink proceeds to youth programs selected by local owner-operators. It’s Dutch Bros. Coffee’s annual Buck-4-Kids Day, which last year resulted in $93,000 raised for community youth organizations. Because Dutch Bros. stands are locally owned and operated, owners choose the local organizations dear to their hearts that will benefit from funds raised. Organizations range from regional Boys and Girls Clubs to Christmas toy collection programs. Both the Scappoose and St. Helens locations will donate proceeds to the Toy ‘n’ Joy program. Dutch Bros. Coffee Co-Founder Travis Boersma, himself a father of four, said, “We love kids. Their enthusiasm for life is contagious, and we want to help them enjoy their lives without worry, whether it be through coats, toys, school supplies or programs that help them grow and learn.” Dutch Bros. Coffee donates over $1 million every year to nonprofit organizations and causes, in an effort to achieve its goal of “making a difference, one cup at a time.”

Small woodland association Warren student among finalists for national writing award funds education programs Public school teachers and students can benefit from two educational programs provided by the Columbia County Small Woodlands Association, a non-profit association of nearly 200 family forestland owners. The first and longest running is a free field trip to the World Forest Center in Portland for all fifth graders in the county. More than 700 fifth graders are eligible to attend. The association pays the entrance fees for students, teachers, and chaperones. Substitutes, if needed, are also covered. Oregon Forest Research Institute reimburses the school district for the cost of transportation. Teachers are encouraged to schedule the field trip in conjunction with classroom activities so the field trip may be arranged at any time during the school year. The application process is streamlined to facilitate the planning for the classroom teacher. A “Visitors’ Guide” for the students is included

in the application packet sent to each fifth grade teacher in the county in September. Fifth grade students from schools in Rainier, St. Helens, Scappoose, and Vernonia have attended over the past 10 years, some every year. The second program in its third year is a grant to public middle and high school teachers and students. There are three grants available each year and are limited to $1,500 for the proposed project or activity. Generally, the grants are expected to serve the students in natural resource education, conservation, forestry, science, and agro-forestry classes. Teachers in these classes receive applications, instructions, and requirements in the fall of the school year. The general requirements for the grant include: requires active student participation; reaches numerous student learners; complements the district’s curricu-

lum; requires definable and measurable outcomes; requires administrative approval; approval of the submitted application by the CCSWA directors. CCSWA grants have provided funds for the forestry classes in Vernonia, a wetland restoration project in St. Helens, a student senior project including a dock and access in St. Helens, an interpretative trail in Scappoose, equipment and supplies for a native plant nursery in Vernonia, and equipment for a GPS class in Rainier. The funds for these programs are generated from annual seedling sales, public tree sales, and membership dues, all of which are managed and staffed by volunteers. For information regarding these CCSWA educational programs or information about CCSWA, please contact Scott Russell (503) 543-2434 or Paul Nys (503) 556-8800 or email at srnysguy@opusnet.com.

Katie Van Winkle, of Warren, was honored as one of four finalists for the first ever Muhammad Ali Award for Writing on Ethics this past October. The competition, sponsored by the Muhammad Ali Center, Norman Mailer Center and WritKatie Van Winkle ers Colony – in partnership with the National Council of Teachers of English, attracted over 1,000 entries. The award was created to honor Muhammad Ali’s legacy of living a life dedicated to high ethical standards. College students across the country explored ethical issues, while considering Ali’s life accomplishments and how his principles address the students’ chosen topic. Van Winkle said she was motivated to act. “I just want to do my part to make the world a better place. And I know I'm only one person, and what can one person ever really do, but at least I'm helping to get that conversation started,” she said. Her essay, entitled “Speak Up,” detailed her efforts to restore a book considered unacceptable for middle school students. Like Ali, Katie decided to stand up for what she believed, bringing to light the importance of classrooms and instructional materials that address critical issues of social justice.

“In these times, schools need to expand students' thoughts concerning major life issues; we need course materials that honestly address race, culture, sexuality, violence, and resistance,” she wrote. “We shouldn't have to defend our right to learn about the world – the real world, not a protected world of make-believe that some adults want to present to students.” Van Winkle said she was shocked by the recognition, especially when she discovered the judges included esteemed author and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Dr. Elie Wiesel “I was speechless when I found out that Elie Wiesel was a judge for the essay competition, but then someone pointed out that Elie is still a person like you or me, which put things into perspective. He is just a person, but he's a person who took a stand. I realized I could be that person too,” she said. When asked about her future as a writer, Van Winkle said, “I don't have any specific plans or goals for writing. I mean, I write every day. It's part of my life. It is on my bucket list to publish a novel, though.” The national competition was open to full-time undergraduate students. The winner of this year’s competition, Evin Hughes of Georgia Southern University, was awarded a $10,000 cash prize. Van Winkle was a 2009 graduate of St. Helens High School and is currently a senior at Oregon State University majoring in Psychology and Writing and will graduate in March of 2013.

Repairs to Newberry Road to begin A contractor hired by Multnomah County plans to repair a November landslide area that closed one lane of N.W. Newberry Road near U.S. Highway 30, just south of Sauvie Island. The work is expected to begin as early as Dec. 5 and will take two or more weeks to complete, depending on weather and field conditions. Flaggers will direct traffic on N.W. Newberry Road through the construction zone during weekday work hours. The contractor may need to close N.W. Newberry Road for brief periods (an hour or less) during the work to move equipment. If a longer road closure is needed, details will be posted on an electronic road sign prior to the closure. In the event of a road

closure, alternate routes include N.W. Skyline Blvd. to N.W. Germantown Road,

N.W. McNamee Road or N.W. Cornelius Pass Road, to U.S. Highway 30.

Local access will be provided to residences and emergency vehicles except when a temporary road closure is in place. During temporary road closures, access will be restricted to emergency vehicles only. Both lanes of N.W. Newberry Road will open to traffic after the slide repair is completed. Soil Nail Launcher is the contractor for the project, which will cost approximately $140,000. The project is funded by Multnomah County. Multnomah County maintains this section of N.W. Newberry Road and more than 300 miles of roads and bridges. For more information, contact Mike Pullen at (503) 209-4111, mike.j.pullen@multco.us or visit www.multco.us/roads.

Fish and Wildlife Service proposes emergency move for endangered deer

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing an emergency translocation of rare Columbian white-tailed deer from Julia Butler Hansen Refuge for the Columbian White-tailed Deer near Cathlamet, Wash., to the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge near Ridgefield, Wash. Steamboat Slough dike, a dike owned and maintained by Diking District No. 4 along the Columbia River boundary of the JBH Refuge, is eroding and is likely to fail at any time. A dike breach would inundate the JBH Refuge mainland unit and place the approximately 100 Columbian white-tailed deer inhabiting the refuge at extreme risk. Managers believe that, in the event of a breach and subsequent flooding, the majority of these deer will be displaced or die setting recovery efforts back significantly. The proposed emergency translocation is an attempt to minimize loss of deer and maintain efforts toward recovery under the Endangered Species Act. Although technology exists to fix the impending dike breach, there are no funds available for the effort at this time. Plans for a longer-term remedy are under consideration but cannot be completed in time to prevent a potential dike breach this winter. Columbian white-tailed deer are unique to western Washington and Oregon and are listed as an Endangered Species under the Federal Endangered Species Act. Ridgefield NWR is within their historical range and contains suitable habitat. As part of the emergency effort, the Service has developed a Draft Environmental Assessment and opened a period of public comment. That document can be found on the JBH Refuge website at: www.fws.gov/jbh. All comments must be received by Jan. 2, 2013. A Final Environmental Assessment addressing all comments will be published on the JBH Refuge website in early 2013. The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The service is both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals, and commitment to public service.

SAFETY: donations go to more lifevests APPEAL: new dates aren’t definite

From PAGE A1

a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket at all times while on an open deck or cockpit on boats that are underway or being towed, including sailboats, canoes, kayaks and rafts. The OSMB also recommends that infants, children and non-swimmers wear life vests while on docks and others places near open water, such as ponds, lakes creeks and rivers.

“I’m going to be handing out life vests to those who are under the age of 14 and to adults who want them to set an example for their kids,” said Danny. “I’ll also being asking for donation to build a permanent life jacket loaner station. If I have enough funds, I’m also going to put life rings on the docks.” Many of the life vests being donated are coming from the Oregon State Marine Board and from fellow

boaters from the Christmas Ship Parade. But Danny said there is always room for more donations. “Funds I get from the donations will also go towards any life jackets that are needed,” he added. The creation of the life station vest will also help Danny earn his Eagle Scout rank, the highest rank attainable in Boy Scouts. “Me and my dad both knew from Scouts, we go to Sand Island for Scout cam-

pouts a lot, that the dock can be unsafe because there are no life rings there, there are no life vest there. And there’s no one monitoring it,” Danny said. Once the life vest station is installed, Danny hopes more people will take advantage of a quick and esy way to make being on the water safer for everyone. Anyone interested in donating a life vest or making a contribution should call Danny at (503) 543-4802.

WATTS: house was built in 1902, lived in until 1975 From PAGE A1 donations toward the Historical Society and the upkeep of the home are gladly accepted. “It’s a whole new organization this past year,” Hayden said. “We’ve reopened the house for weddings and anniversaries, receptions, that type of thing.” Plans are in the works for an “Antique Roadshow”–style event next year, inviting the community to bring in historical objects and have their value determined by appraisers. And a new website was launched just last week – scappoosehistoricalsociety. org. Two major projects are also in the sights of the organization. “Our front porch on the house, she’s 110 years old, she’s kind of rotting out, so one of our major projects after the first of the year is to replace the rotten railings on the front porch,”

Hayden said. And at some point, the home’s roof will need to be replaced. “We’ve got big ambition this year,” she said. The Watts House has played an important role in the history of Scappoose. Built in 1902, it was the primary residence of Grant Watts’ family until 1975 when James Loring Watts sold the house to the City for

$20,000. The agreement stated the home would eventually become a museum. However, it first served as a boarding house for teachers, and from 1974 to 1997, as Scappoose City Hall. When the new fire station and City Hall was built in 1997, plans began to convert the house into a museum. The Scappoose Historical Society, which was founded in 1974 to preserve the Watts House, oversees the museum’s operations. Today, the home includes a mock mercantile in the basement and restored rooms that show what life was like more than 100 years ago. “It’s just a treasure trove of history in that house,” Hayden said. “Grant Watts was our first mayor, his family came on the Oregon Trail in 1842 and landed in Scappoose in 1854.” The Watts House is located at 52432 SE First Street in Scappoose.

A pathway to jobs. An investment in rural counties.

From PAGE A1 decide the stun belt in our favor we can’t adequately represent our client.’” said Atchison. “That means whether or not he has a stun belt could influence how this hearing this week was going to go. So the judge said we can’t have the hearing.” Butts, 23, is accused of shooting and killing Rainer Police Chief Ralph Painter during a Jan. 5, 2011 altercation at a retail store in Rainier. Since his arrest, the Kalama, Wash., man has been ordered by Grove to the Oregon State Hospital for evaluation. The second placement at the state hospital came after Butts repeated stabbed himself in the head with a pencil, then refused medical treatment and has also refused any of the prescribed anti-psychotic medications made available to him through psychiatrists. The first aid an assist hearing was held about 10 months ago. After two days of testimony from a state psychologist, Portland-area psychiatrist Dr. Jerry Larsen, who was hired by the defense team, and two police officers that assisted in interviewing Butts following his arrest, Circuit Court Judge Ted Grove ruled on Feb. 1, 2012, that Butts was mentally competent to aid and assist in his own defense. Attorneys for Butts have argued in court that Butts was suffering from a mental illness, most likely schizophrenia or a similar disorder, at the time of the shooting and continues to suffer from

that mental illness, making him unable to assist in his own defense. Currently, the second aid and assist hearing is now scheduled for Dec. 12-13. “The defense said we already had two days set off in December for the [change in] venue, we’ll just do this instead. And we’ll move the venue off a month or two,” said Atchison. But the new dates are far from being definite. “We should know within the next week or two if the Oregon Supreme Court will do that appeal. They could say no and then we’re right back where we were,” added Atchison. “They could say yes, and if the appeal is still pending and then we may not be able to do anything until the Supreme Court makes a decision.” All three appeals, which are called a mandaemus proceeding – a special kind of appeal where the Supreme Court can tell the judge what to do while the case is pending, could be presented for individual rulings or as a single ruling. “It’s really unclear yet whether they’ll go as a group. They’ll probably take all three of them up but the Supreme Court can pick and choose. With mandaemous, the rules are more relaxed,” said Atchison. Butts’ attorneys have 30 days to file the mandaemous appeal, although there is no time limit on the appeals after that. Dates for the change of venue hearing are tentatively set for Feb. 20-21.

DEQ Informational Meeting

Wednesday, W ednesday, December 5 at 6 p.m. Clatskanie High School Auditorium 471 Bel Air Drive, Clatskanie

Patrick Trapp, executive director for the Port of St. Helens, said this meeting will be far different than the last coal project meeting held in Clatskanie. Unlike the Jan. 25, 2012 meeting held at the Clatskanie Community Center to review two coal export terminal proposals before Port of St. Helens board of commissioneers, “this meeting will only be about the Port Morrow project,’ said Trapp. DEQ said it is holding the meeting – one of three held in as many days across the state – to help answer questions, as well as receive comments,

about DEQ permit applications for Ambre’s proposed Coyote Island Terminal at Port Morrow. The DEQ says its role is to evaluate environmental permit applications based on stringent regulations and issue and enforce permits that meet these requirements. Ambre Energy is applying for an air quality permit and three water quality permits for the proposed Coyote Island Terminal. The DEQ meeting will be held in the Clatskanie High School Auditorium, at 471 Bel Air Drive, in Clatskanie, beginning at 6 p.m. For more information, go to www.deq.state.or.us/er/ CoalExportProject.htm.

VIEWPOINT

GUEST COLUMN

Hope for St. Helens The Chronicle is pleased to welcome Melissa Serafin of the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation as our newest columnist. Melissa, who comes to our area through the Americorps program, will offer insightful and useful information about doing business in St. Helens and Columbia County. “Good luck,” sarcastically replied yet another employee of a local St. Helens business. “You can’t change the economy,” was the response of a particularly cynical business owner. These were common responses given when I walked the main streets of our town to introduce myself and my position’s objective: to revitalize our downtown districts. I moved to St. Helens this past August for an Americorps position with the City of St. Helens, and I work with the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation to improve our local economy. As a newcomer, I know my opinion will only hold so much weight with many of the local residents. But there’s one feature of our community that not many would dispute: the pessimism towards our business environment. I understand this negativity, particularly with the recent closings of several businesses and the Boise Paper Mill. Empty storefronts, high unemployment, the loss of countless livingwage jobs, and lacking community pride are problems that have plagued St. Helens

for years, and they have left many community members feeling hopeless or apathetic. However, these reactions from local business Melissa Serfin employees demonstrate one of the biggest obstacles our community faces in trying to improve our economy. No business or resident will move to an area where this mindset is prevalent. The moment a tourist hears a similar comment, they’ll get back in their car and drive along Highway 30 to Astoria. This culture of hopelessness immediately turns off anyone interested in economic development or improving our community. A thriving economy relies on small business, and small businesses start with an exciting idea and anticipation of the future, not out of bleak desperation and dread of what’s to come. Contrary to this common outlook, there is hope for our town. Other small towns have bounced back from similar situations into vibrant and healthy local economies and communities. The Oregon cities of Astoria, Bandon, and Molalla have all made surprising comebacks, and there is no reason St. Helens can’t do the same. In actuality, many businesses are quite successful. 2Cs Vendor Mall, Soot

Busters, and Blackbird Catering all come to mind, and their owners are more satisfied with their careers than they’ve ever been. There are optimists in our town as well, including those involved with economic and community development and those who ignore the cynics and open new businesses. This is not to say your business will be wildly successful if you think positively. There are lots of factors to consider while developing a stable business. But I noticed that the successful businesses have owners who take advantage of the strong support system for our small businesses. They are members of the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce; they ask for assistance from the St. Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO) or the Columbia County Economic Team (CCET); they take the workshops and classes offered to small businesses; they drive to Longview or Portland to utilize other resources. Many are active members of our community, serving on a variety of boards and commissions. St. Helens has a variety of wonderful assets beyond the local support system, including growing market demand, the Columbia River, our historic buildings and homes, and a very favorable tax environment. I propose we build upon the positives rather than lingering on the negatives. To revitalize and invigor-

ate St. Helens, our community needs to let go of this pervasive and toxic mindset that discourages new residents, businesses, and tourists. Business owners also need to invest themselves within our economic and civic realm and take advantage of the plethora of resources available. These are

both easily accomplished. The next time you think negatively of our local economy, I hope you ask yourself what you could be doing to change the situation. This is the first in a series on small business and economic development in St. Helens. I’ll explore our local economy, our businesses and

their owners, common small business obstacles and solutions, and other topics that affect the development of our community. I hope these articles will encourage readers to think about the future of St. Helens and how we can work together to create a healthy and prosperous place to live and work.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Changes coming to The Chronicle in the weeks ahead BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

There are some changes taking place here at The Chronicle. Beginning this month, we will now have some of our online stories behind a paywall. To be clear, much of the content online will remain free – items such as obituaries, letters to the editor, breaking news, and arts and entertainment pieces will be available to subscribers and non-subscribers alike.

On the sports side, game recap stories, Chip Bubl’s Garden Plots column, the ODFW Fishing & Hunting report, reader contributed photos/stories (mainly youth sports) and sports blogs will also be available at no charge. Other sports content such as feature stories, in-depth analysis of games and From the Archives will be available to subscribers only. For the last few years, The Chronicle has traditionally brought only some items from our print edition to our website. Many items, like

birth announcements, weddings, military news, student achievements, news briefs and others were only found in print. Going forward, that’s going to change as well. Now all of our print content will be made available online. Back in ‘90s, it seemed like every newspaper in America was rushing to get a website up and running. In our rush to join the information superhighway, we failed to see the value of our own product and gave our original content away for free – something that has always con-

cerned me. We also failed to do a good job of letting our online readers know what they’re missing by not subscribing. For our many readers living out of town, or reading the news on the go, we are now offering our news in a variety of formats – in print, in our e-edition, or on our website. All those features that were held for print-only will be accessible, for a subscription fee, online. If you already have a print subscription, use your subscriber number to access on-

line stories at no additional cost. The number is printed on your front page, above your name and address. (Do not type in the zeros when you enter your subscriber number.) Another advantage is that subscribers don’t have to wait until Wednesday for the news. We’re putting stories up behind the paywall throughout the week. Subscribers, for example, were able to read last week’s story on how Legacy Health’s donated technology helped save the life of a St. Helens man

the day before the paper hit the streets. Our goal is to expand our services, not take them away. While the bigger metro dailies have been hit hardest by the changes to the newspaper industry, that doesn’t mean we haven’t faced our share of challenges. And along with our advertisers, we too have felt the effects of the recession. Hopefully, with these changes in place, we have found to keep providing our readers with the news, sports and information they need well into the future.

ists always seem to win? They had the 10 commandments taken out of the courthouses, kids in school can't say the word of Jesus, or God in Christmas programs, and the list goes on. Why do the leaders of this country let them bully us? The atheists are winning. I say if they don't like this country, let them go to some other country. This is why Christians came to this country so they wouldn't be persecuted. For

me, church and Christmas are very important. Going to church out in the country, 5 ½ miles to church with a horse-drawn bobsled, was exciting. The people coming to church had bells on their horses ringing. I remember this one Christmas, I was about 13, it was a beautiful calm, cold night with a bright shining moon, you could see for miles. I could have gone into the church where it was nice and warm, but maybe I would never see a night like

this again; with a few big snowflakes falling gently, dancing down from heavens and the sleigh bells ringing. Then the thought came to my mind, this would be the song we would be singing tonight, “Silent Night.” Years later as I thought back, there must have been a night like this in 1816 when a pastor in Germany by the name of Joseph Mohr wrote the carol “Silent Night.” This is what I want for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to

have a chance to go to church on Christmas Eve. I want them to be little angels. I want them to be wise men. This is what we still need in this country today, wise men that won't give the atheists what they want. I can only pray for the atheists as they will never know the feeling I had that Christmas night so long ago, on the steps of that country church. This last fall I was back in North Dakota, I walked through the cemetery,

into the church and sat in the same pew we use to sit in. I could see the big pipe organ and hear the music that my father-in-law played for 46 years in this church. When I came back from the Army, I got married, bought a farm two miles from this church where my wife and I were baptized and confirmed. My wife took over playing the big pipe organ for years before we moved to Oregon.

LETTERS Atheists are winning In the Nov. 22 Oregonian, there was a letter to the editor written by Kenneth Puckett. In the letter, he said, “I disagree completely with the atheist standpoint, but they have the same right to freedom of speech that I do. If they want to set up a display next to a nativity scene, I say let them. I think maybe they can learn something from us by doing that.” I agree in part with his letter, but I ask why do the athe-

LETTERS (CONT.) From PAGE A5 When my father-in-law would open up the big pipe organ at the end of service it would rattle the windows. As Christmas approaches I once again go back in my memory to that church. I think of the big Christmas tree with lots of candles, 30 some kids singing their hearts out, and when it was all over here came the sacks of candy. Then the trip home in the bobsled with bells ringing, what a Christmas! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night. Clarence E. Nickel, St. Helens Not a clue I am a volunteer at Top Notch Thrift Store in St. Helens. I am writing this in response to what was written in the Chronicle on Nov. 21 about thrift stores not accepting toys. We are one of those stores, but it isn't the issue of toys that caught my attention. It was how she viewed what we needed to clean the toys. She said that thrift stores should invest in a $2 pack of Clorox wipes to get the germs off so that we could sell them. I was like her before I started volunteering, I didn't have a clue as to what it takes to get things cleaned to be able to sell. I thought that the things on the stores shelves came in clean, boy was I wrong. So this is for her and others who may not know what all goes into cleaning donations. Our store is blessed with a manager who herself is a volunteer.

She keeps us well stocked with cleaning supplies, anything we need to make it easier to clean she gets it for us. On our first day of volunteering we are told that 90 percent of what we do is cleaning. That may seem like a large part of our time spent cleaning, but it is very rare that things come in clean. Here is a list of some of our most common cleaning supplies; Awesome, Goof Off, Goo-Be-Gone, bleach, glass cleaner, copper cleaner, silver polish, wood polish, S.O.S. Pads, steel wool, cleanser, dish soap, lint remover rollers, and the list goes on. Oh yes one more important cleaning item, and that is good old-fashioned elbow grease. This doesn't mean that when you come into our store you will never find something dirty. We are the senior center’s thrift store, which means that most of our volunteers are seniors, our eyesight may not be as good as it once was, but we do our best. I hope that you are able to see that a pack of wipes would not be up to the job of all the cleaning that goes on in our back room. That's just the cleaning list. We have another list for fixing things. My family and friends ask me from time to time why do I volunteer instead of getting a paid job. I first tell them that I love being a volunteer, and then I will tell them that I do get paid. If I had a paying job I would only get a paycheck once or twice a month, but as a volunteer I get paid every day that I work. I get paid by the customers and by those who donate. Every time I hear

someone say what a nice store we have and how clean and neat everything is they are paying me with their kind words. When someone finds a treasure and gets excited, or when someone is looking for something and I can take them right to it and they are grateful, the kindness they show is part of my pay. When we get donations from you and you are grateful for us being here to give us your left over garage sales or things from cleaning out your house, that too, is part of my payment. All the smiles and laughter that you as customers give, the friendships I have made with you and with the other volunteers as well, this is the pay that for me means more then a paycheck. It's you that make Top Notch a fun and happy place to volunteer. So to all of our customers and to those who donate to us I want to say with a grateful heart thank you for all you do for our store. By your giving to us things to sell and shopping at our store you too are helping support The Senior Center as well as Meals On Wheels. Thank you for the big pay day you give to me every day that I work. Barbra Bynoe, Top Notch Thrift Store volunteer Hang on We hang on, with our teeth if necessary, to the moral fiber that build this nation, or we die. Dean Nichols, Scappoose

Harcourt’s late lay-in lifts Lions to win over Indians BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — While the St. Helens guards darted in and out of the paint for layins, Scappoose pounded the ball into the posts to get their close-range shots. It was a battle of two different styles on Nov. 29 during the Seven Mile War. In a defensive struggle, it was a defensive play that turned out to be the difference. With about 30 seconds to play and her team trailing by one point, St. Helens senior guard Jillian Ross stole the ball from a Scappoose player near midcourt. Ross found junior guard Nicole Harcourt sprinting all alone toward the basket, fed her a clean outlet and Harcourt converted the uncontested lay-in for what turned out to be the game-winning basket. St. Helens (1-1) beat Scappoose (0-1), 2726. Harcourt and Ross combined for six of St. Helens’ 10 steals during the game. Harcourt

and the other member of the Lions’ starting backcourt trio, sophomore Michelle Sass, scored 22 of the team’s 27 points. Sass led the way with 16 points and Harcourt had 6. Sass also led the Lions with seven rebounds – an area in which Scappoose dominated. The Indians outrebounded the Lions, 3319, led by nine apiece from junior Abby Kessi and senior Kendall Keierleber. Kessi also scored 6 points. Junior Brittany Catlow had seven rebounds to go along with a teamhigh 10 points — all scored in the second half. “They played a really good game,” Sass said. “Their posts were killing us – that’s all they did.” But Scappoose couldn’t stop Sass from slashing to the basket and finishing or dishing off to open teammates. That’s why it put a scare through the St. Helens fan base when Sass crumpled to the floor with 1:53 to go and her team down one. She briefly went to See LIONS, Page A14

St. Helens senior Jake Ramiskey is fouled by Scappoose junior Mitchell Davis on Nov. 28.

Visiting St. Helens rides hot hand of Ramiskey to victory BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — A year later, the thought of a 2011 Seven Mile War loss still weighed heavily on the mind of St. Helens High School senior Jake Ramiskey. When given the opportunity to reverse his team’s fortune in 2012, Ramiskey wasted no time. The St. Helens wing scored 8 points and dished out two assists in the opening minutes to give the Lions (2-0) a 13-2 lead over the home Scappoose Indians (0-1). The Tribe eventually cut the deficit to as few as two points, but never once led in the game. St. Helens won the season opener, 49-37. “When we found out we were gonna play Scappoose, we were so excited. Then we came out and we played terrible last year. This year

it was my goal to make it different, make it so they feel the same way we did at the end of the game,” Ramiskey said. “I didn’t sleep last night because I was too excited for this game.” He finished with a game-high 29 points and five assists, despite sitting on the bench the second quarter because he picked up two quick fouls. Ramiskey also helped get both crowds into the game, exciting the Lion student section with his great play and igniting the Indian student section. “Their crowd just pumped me up. I like it. I like when I play against big crowds, they get me into the game, make me want to play harder,” he said. The Tribe gave its student section reason to be optimistic in the second and third quarters.

Tribe takes third in opening tourney BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ESTACADA — Four Scappoose High School wrestlers reached the championship match in their weight class at the 2012 Ranger Classic Dec. 1 at Estacada High School. Sophomore Johnathon Tardif, junior Isaiah Goodrich and senior Bailey Apon all took home first-place finishes, giving the Indians more wins at the event than any of the other 10 teams. Scappoose finished third with 152.5 points, behind La Grande (246.5) and Estacada (163). “Good overall meet. We looked to be a bit ahead of where we were last season,” said Scappoose coach Jim Jones. Tardif went 3-0 at 152 pounds with a pin and two decisions, including a narrow 6-5 victory in the title match. Goodrich’s win came in the 182-pound division. Because there weren’t as many wrestlers in that class, Goodrich needed just two wins to earn the title. He picked up a 173 major decision and a 5-1 decision. Apon was 3-0 with two pins and a 9-0 major decision. He pinned his opponent in the third round of the title match. Senior Ryan Bond took second in the 145pound weight class. He pinned his first opponent then won a 5-3 decision before dropping a 13-5 major decision in the title match. Sophomore Ben Gadbois took third in that same weight class, winning the third-place match 11-8. He was 3-1, all of his wins coming by way of decision. He lost a 5-2 decision. “Very solid performances by Goodrich, Tardif, Apon and Bond,” Jones said. “Also solid performances by freshmen Kurt Mode, Braxton Sue, Cody Erhardt, as well as soph-

SWIMMING

Newcomers show promise for SHS TILLAMOOK — The Scappoose High swim team – at least most of it – got its season underway at the Tillamook Invitational on Dec. 1. The Indians were without six swimmers, including top returner Sadie Krahn, for the seven-team event. The SHS girls finished fifth and the boys were sixth. “We were encouraged by what we saw. We’re mixing it up and going to let kids try new and different events,” said coach David Richmond. Many of the athletes swam times that were close to or better than the times they were swimming at the end of last season, which “is tough to do this early in the season,” Richmond said. Sophomore Stefany Alvarez was the top performer with top-five finishes in both the 200-yard freestyle and the 100-yard breaststroke. Other Indians to finish in the top five were senior Mick Vanek in the 50 free, senior Molly Orr in the 100 free and junior Sam Herscovitz in the 100 back.

Orr paced three top-10 finishers in the 100 free: she was fifth, senior Brooke Pesterfield was seventh and junior Kiara Single was ninth. That was the best team showing in any of the events for Scappoose. Richmond was encouraged with the season debut. “Sam Herscovitz, Stefany Alvarez, Marie Hannah, Molly Orr, and Mick Vanek all had really solid meets. I thought Gilberto Martinez also had some nice results in his races,” he said. In addition to the performance of those veterans, Richmond said some of the newcomers also performed nicely. “Overall, the first-year swimmers had a nice first meet in terms of their times as well. I keep using the word potential to describe this team when I’m asked about our team. We see a lot of it,” Richmond said.

Adapted from an article by directly from lack of moisture Dan Edge, Department Chair, or may be more susceptible to OSU Fish and Wildlife damage from cold weather.

Winter water for the birds A lot of us feed birds in the winter. Yet how many of us think to provide those birds with water? As easy sources of water freeze in cold weather, birds may have trouble finding the water they need. Birds use the water not only for drinking and bathing, but as a source of water-borne foods such as insects and algae. Bird lovers can help by providing shallow puddles or birdbaths. The containers should be from one to three inches deep, preferably with gentle sloping sides. The surface of the bath should be rough so the birds can get sure footing. Place flat rocks at water’s edge to allow birds a place to rest or drink from. Make sure cats cannot reach the watering area. Keep water unfrozen by adding warm water as needed. There are even some birdbath heaters available at specialty stores.

Odds and ends… • Peach leaf curl finds its way into the buds on your peach tree this month and in January. Prevent the problem by spraying completely and often with lime sulfur or copper. Four separate sprays are ideal. Temperatures should be well above freezing when you spray. Two to three hours of drying time is ideal. With copper fungicides, use a spreader-sticker if the label calls for one. While you’re at it, spray your apples, cherries, blueberries, and boysen/marionberries. • While you’re out there with the fertilizer, consider an application to your lawn, if you haven’t already put on any in the late fall. • While there aren’t a lot of plants that bloom in the winter, those that do are richly appreciated. You might search out nurseries for their Hellebore, Witch hazel, and Sarco-cocca varieties. • Shrubs and other plants under eaves may dry out during the winter. When that happens, they may either perish

WRESTLING

Lions, Indians tune up against Washington schools BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Several new wrestlers for the St. Helens Lions debuted against top-quality competition from the state of Washington during a home endowment meet on Dec. 3. Of the seven varsity wrestlers taking the mat for St. Helens, four of them were freshmen. Grades, injuries and a general lack of numbers kept the Lions from being able to enter every weight class. Those who did wrestle, however, impressed first-year coach Charles Biggs. “Overall as a team I think that we’re on the right track,” Biggs said. “It’s gonna take us a while to figure things out. Most guys were up one or two weight classes from where they should have been.” After reaching the state tournament at 138 pounds a season ago, senior Jon Luttrell pinned both of his opponents in the 2012-13 season opener while wrestling at 152 pounds.

Senior Dustin Ford, in the 195-pound weight class, also went 2-0 on the evening. Biggs said St. Helens wrestled split squads from Mark Morris, Castle Rock and Heritage, so team scores weren’t kept. Scappoose also wrestled at the meet, although the Indians’ results were not available at press time. Biggs said among the newcomers, freshmen Conner Goddard and Jose Silva both wrestled tough in their matches. He said Michael Bowan came close to pulling out victories in both of his matches as well. Also standing out in the coach’s eye was sophomore Thomas Lavoie. Wrestling for the first time ever, Lavoie went 2-0 in his 132-pound matches at the JV level. “(There were) some promising things, some frustrating things. This whole month is gonna be knockdown, drag out for them,” Biggs said. St. Helens travels to Bonney Lake, Wash., for a tournament on Dec. 8.

BOYS BASKETBALL

St. Helens 58, The Dalles Wahtonka 39

Lions blow game apart in 3rd quarter ST. HELENS — A 10point halftime lead ballooned to a 25-point lead after three quarters for the St. Helens Lions (2-0) on Nov. 30 against The Dalles Wahtonka Eagle Indians (0-1). The Lions outscored the Eagle Indians 23-8 in the third quarter behind 13 points in the period from senior Jake Ramiskey. Ramiskey had two 2-point field goals, two andones and a 3-pointer in the quarter. He finished the night with a game-high 20 points and three steals. Senior guard Cody Galvin also had three steals and scored 14 points, making four 3s. Senior Jared Bonney added 10 points on the strength of 8-of-8 shooting from the free-throw line. As a team, the Lions were 13-for-14 at the line. The Lions mixed up their offensive style nicely

ST. HELENS: pulls away down the stretch From PAGE A11 Scappoose was within six for most of those two quarters, getting as close as two points on a couple of occasions. Senior Jesse Hanson led a balanced Indian scoring attack, finishing with 11 points. Senior Paul Revis and junior Taylor Loss both had 6 points, and Revis added four steals. Late in the fourth quarter, however, the Lions pulled away. That left the SHS student section sending a “oneman team” chant toward Ramiskey and the Lions. While the scoring numbers might indicate that, the students missed the five rebounds apiece from seniors Cody Beisley and Nathan Hunter. Hunter also scored 9 points. They also missed junior guard Tanner Long’s six steals – although Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts certainly didn’t. “We had way too many turnovers,” Tufts said. Scappoose fought hard, de-

spite facing an uphill battle. For much of the game, St. Helens had a decided height advantage at just about every position. “We competed. I thought we gave a great effort and that’s all you can ask for,” Tufts said. “We just gotta iron out some of the mistakes.” St. Helens was on the road against the Hillsboro Spartans (0-1) on Dec. 4. The Lions go on the road again on Dec. 7, when they play the McMinnville Grizzlies (0-1) at 7:15 p.m. Scappoose hosted Molalla (1-0) on Dec. 4.

Sophomore Michelle Sass has led the Lions in scoring in both of their two games this season.

LIONS: able to space the floor well vs. Indians From PAGE A11 the locker room, but returned to the bench moments later with cramps in her leg. She was on the bench when Harcourt’s lay-in gave the Lions the lead. “I was so happy, pretty sure I jumped MORE off the ONLINE bench off See several the one additional leg that photos at wasn’t thechronicrampcleonline.com ing,” Sass said. She said the key to the team’s success was spacing the floor to create driving lanes. “We played so much better than last year. Our layups I honestly didn’t think were that bad. We needed to rebound more. We spread out the floor really nicely. After our jamboree (on Nov. 28) we were really scrunched together. We spread it out a lot,” Sass said. St. Helens led most of the game, until Catlow helped Scappoose take the lead in the fourth quarter. The Indians held onto the lead until Harcourt’s lay-in with 25 seconds to play. Whereas the Lions had an opportunity to learn their personnel a bit during their Nov. 28 jamboree at Wilsonville High School, this was the first outing for the Indians and new head coach Kevin Buse. After the game, he was encouraged with what we saw. “I thought we played hard,” Buse said. “A new coach, new system, new players – we’re all juniors and most didn’t play much last year, even on JV, I understand. It’s going to take some time. I don’t feel bad about it, they don’t feel bad about it; it was good.” St. Helens played at Hillsboro (1-0) on Dec. 4. The Lions are home against the McMinnville Grizzlies (1-1) at 7:15 p.m. on Dec. 7. Scappoose played on Dec. 4 at Molalla High School (01).
