Merkley visits Columbia City for town hall meeting

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

COLUMBIA CITY —In 2008, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) promised to keep his constituents informed of the happenings on Capitol Hill – and answer their questions – by holding town halls across the state. Merkley kicked off his 2013 town hall schedule with appearances in Columbia and Clatsop counties on Jan. 7.

Merkley spent about an hour meeting local citizens and answering questions during the town hall meeting at the Columbia City Community Center.

Not surprisingly, the recently

debated fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling and gun control topped the list of concerns among those attending.

“This was one of those situations where you get the package at the last second,” said Merkley of the finance bill signed by the Senate and House on Jan. 1. “This is not the way to run a budget session.”

Merkley went on to discuss the bill’s impact to Medicare. Passage of the bill forestalled a 26.5 percent cut in physician reimbursements mandated by Medicare’s sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula. The bill passed on Jan. 1 delays the SGR cuts by a year and pushes back another 2 percent cut for two months.

Despite passage of the 11th hour

solution, the senator said much work remains to be done to solve the country’s financial woes.

“You may have heard about the $600 billion in revenue. Well, that revenue is a very small piece of the deficit spectrum,” said Merkley.

“That’s $600 billion in 10 years, so that’s $60 billion per year and the deficit is over a trillion dollars.

That’s less than 6 percent of that deficit. Lots of work remains to find a pathway to fiscal stability.”

Merkley also called upon Oregon voters to get involved in filibuster reform coming up for discussion later in the month. ­­­­ See MERKLEY, Page A5

Columbia County’s 13 Nights series at risk

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — It’s one of the most popular events during the summer season, drawing hundreds of people to Olde Towne each week to listen to music, grab a bite to eat and shop for local wares. But escalating tensions between the 13 Nights on the River board and the St. Helens Community Foundation mean the annual event could be at risk.

A Dec. 29 letter from 13 Nights Board President Lyman Louis to St. Helens Mayor Randy Peterson brought with it a surprising announcement.

“It is with regret that I must inform you that the entire board of 13 Nights on the River, along with most of the volunteers,

have resigned effective immediately,” said Louis.

However, Louis will stay on until the end of January to facilitate the transfer of “all materials” to the foundation while 13 Nights treasurer Matt Freeman will stay until mid-January to complete financial reporting for 2012.

Louis said the mass resignation was the result of actions taken by the SHCF board, which includes negotiations over a partnership agreement and the removal of $6,500 from the 13 Nights’ bank account (the majority of funds in the account) on Nov. 8.

“While we attempted to recover those funds and seek a resolution, even offering to participate in a mediated settlement, it soon became clear that while we had urgent needs to recover our monies to continue the process of developing the 2013 schedule of events, the Foundation was happy to wait out the clock,” Louis stated in the letter.

SHCF is a non-profit entity that provides its member groups – such as 13 Nights, Spirit of Halloweentown, the St. Helens Fireworks committee and the proposed youth center – with general liability insurance and tax exemption status for deductions and fundraising. According to the SHCF, it also provides “a bank account and check writing facilities” along with “preparation of accounts and tax returns,” direct sponsorship of charitable and community events, fundraising and other services.

Two primary issues seem to lie at the heart of the disputes between the two entities. The first is the use and ownership of the sound equipment used for the 13 Nights series.

According to St. Helens City Councilor Keith Locke, who is also on the SHCF board, the money was removed to ensure the foundation would have the necessary funds to purchase sound equipment if the group has to start over from scratch.

“13 nights has all of the sound equipment,” said Locke.

“That’s really a non-issue,” said Louis, noting that 13 Nights has a signed agreement specifying where the equipment is stored, naming the Foundation as the legal owner of the equipment and naming 13 Nights as the caretaker of the equipment. ­­­­ See 13 NIGHTS, Page A3

This is the second of a two-part series recognizing just some of the many people in our community who make living here better for others

BY SHARI PHIEL & KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

S

everal weeks ago we reached out to city and county officials, nonprofit groups, local police and fire agencies, and others across the county asking for nominations of individuals who give of themselves to their community, who go above and beyond the call of duty, and who deserve some special recognition.

Many, but not all, of those

singled out were volunteers.

And at least one of those being recognized isn’t even human, but certainly worthy of recognition.

Every year, hundreds of volunteers throughout Columbia County provide countless thousands of hours of service to the community. Without them, many of the services they provide – such as delivering meals to the elderly, helping children with

BILL REESE For nearly three decades, Bill Reese has been wrangling and organizing dozens of Boy Scouts and volunteers to feed families throughout much of Columbia County on Christmas Eve. This year was no exception.

It all started back in the mid-1980s when Reese and his Scout pack learned a family in the area would be going without dinner on Christmas. From there it has grown every year.

“Now the whole city is involved,” said Reese, “from the fire department, the PUD, the Kiwanis, the Lions, you name it.”

This year, the annual event fed more than 150 families (more than 500 people) and brought toys to dozens of children.

reading and math, cleaning up local parks, caring for lost and stray pets, and so many others – would go unfilled.

We realize this list is by no means complete and that there are many others that deserve recognition. For all those who volunteer their time, give back to their community, go that extra mile and make life a little better for others, we salute you.

Did Reese ever envision the annual event would grow to its current size?

“Not at all. We never looked forward, we just let it grow,” he said.

Reese said none of it would be possible if it wasn’t for the assistance he gets from volunteers and organizations like Columbia River Fire & Rescue, which provides many of the toys to the program through its Toy ‘n’ Joy annual drive.

“Toys are always the hardest for us,” said Reese. “Because we don’t concentrate on getting toys in.”

New Year rings in pay hike for minimum wage earners in the first quarter of 2012 to be directly affected by the increase. The data shows the leisure and hospitality industry and retail trade account for about four out of 10 of the jobs affected.

The Washington, D.C.based Economic Policy Institute recently estimated 83,000 Oregonians would benefit directly from the minimum wage increase.

The institute noted that another 44,000 Oregon workers currently earning just above the new minimum wage would likely see their paychecks increase as employers adjust their overall pay structures to reflect the new minimum wage.

Together, those directly and indirectly impacted account for about 8.3 percent of Oregon’s workforce.

EPI found that about 86 percent of workers directly impacted in Oregon are over 20 years old, and three out of five are women.

“Odds are that a minimum wage worker is an adult and a woman,” said Sheketoff.

“The image that some may have of minimum-wage workers being primarily teen-

agers is incorrect.”

Oregon’s minimum wage “unfortunately falls short of preventing poverty among some working families,” Sheketoff said.

At $8.95 an hour, an Oregon full-time minimum wage worker will earn $18,616 this year – an amount below the 2012 federal poverty guideline for a family of three ($19,090).

However, Oregon minimum-wage workers will enjoy the second highest state minimum wage in the nation. Only the state of Washington has a higher state minimum wage. Oregon’s neighbor to the north will see its minimum hourly wage rise to $9.19 on Jan. 1.

In addition, Oregon is one of 19 states, plus the District of Columbia with a minimum wage above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which did not increase.

“Oregon was and continues to be a model for the nation when it comes to the minimum wage,” said Sheketoff. “Oregonians were smart to raise the minimum wage and keep it from being eroded by inflation.”

Astoria bridge over Lewis and Clark to close for 10 days ASTORIA — Beginning at 8 a.m. on Feb. 2, U.S. 101 Business will be closed to all traffic in both directions at the bridge crossing the Lewis and Clark River (milepost 4.67 to 4.83) for up to 10 days for bridge geotechnical exploration work. The estimated completion date for this work is Feb. 13.

Traffic can use U.S. 101 and OR 202 as a detour around the closure. Variable message signs will be posted at key highway locations warning motorists of the planned closure.

This work is part of a much larger project that will replace and repair key parts of the bridge beginning in 2014. The bridge, which was constructed in 1924, will undergo an extensive renovation that will include replacing

the west bridge approach, repairing the east bridge approach and painting of the steel on the bridge. The estimated cost of the project is $18 million.

The Highway 101 Business bridge is the only remaining single leaf bascule drawbridge in Oregon. A bascule drawbridge uses a counterweight that balances the span or “leaf” throughout the entire upswing in providing clearance for boat traffic.

Both approach spans were constructed with untreated cedar timber and are showing substantial deterioration and in need of replacement or repair. It is likely that the bridge will need to be closed during construction.

Oregon’s low-paid workers got a raise starting in the new year, when a 15-cent increase to the state’s minimum wage took effect.

The increase from $8.80 to $8.95 per hour means an extra $312 a year for a family with one full-time minimum wage worker. The increase is the result of Measure 25, approved by voters in 2002, which pegged Oregon’s minimum wage to rises in the cost of living.

“Strengthening the buying power of low-wage workers is especially critical in this economic climate,” said Chuck Sheketoff, executive director of the Oregon Center for Public Policy.

Sheketoff noted a recent study by the National Employment Law Project showed that while 60 percent of jobs lost during the recession have been middle-wage occupations, low-wage postions have accounted for 58 percent of jobs created in the post-recession recovery.

The Oregon Employment Department recently estimated that there were about 130,000 jobs in the state that paid less than $8.95 per hour

businesses, churches and groups seeking donations for the program. Those donations can be in the form of money, food, time or toys.

As Christmas approaches, Reese contacts all of the volunteers, finds out who will be donating turkeys or hams, who will be cooking, and who will be bagging, serving or delivering the meals.

Then on Christmas Eve day, in a matter of just five or six hours, all of the food is delivered to Grace Baptist Church, served up, placed in containers, matched with toys and delivered to the families – all in time for dinner. The military would be envious of the nearly flawless execution of the program.

What keeps him coming back every year?

“My Boy Scouts. We need to teach our boys to give and share as we grow through life. We get other troops involved and Girl Scouts involved if we can,” Reese said.

COLUMBIA HUMANE SOCIETY VOLUNTEERS As the county’s no-kill, nonprofit animal shelter, the Columbia Humane Society depends heavily on volunteers to function. From walking dogs, serving as foster parents for special needs dogs and cats, to helping out during special events like vaccine clinics and adoption days, volunteers are in many ways the backbone of Columbia Humane Society.

And there is always room for more.

“We rely on each, and every one of you,” said Annette Perrin, vice president of the CHS board of directors.

“You give what you can in donations, memberships, socializing cats, handling dogs, answering phones, cleaning kennels, fostering animals, and everything in between. We appreciate every hour and every donation!”

Volunteers must be willing to provide at least eight hours of service per month, for a minimum of three months, in addition to volunteer orientation or training attendance and must 16 years of age or older. Volunteers are also encouraged to commit to a minimum twohour shift in a regular schedule, such as on a regular weekly basis.

Volunteers assist with numerous activities, including helping in the front office, working in the kennels, transporting animals and picking up supplies and donations, helping to write grants, and many others.

“The entire staff at Columbia Humane Society work tirelessly for the love of the animals in Columbia County, and beyond. They all make sure the dogs and cats that come into the Holsheimer-Lamar Animal Shelter have the best chance to be adopted,” said Perrin. “The team performs behavioral evaluations and health testing for incoming cats and dogs, work with The Jason Heigl Foundation to transport dogs from the high-kill shelters in California, and works with customers from Columbia County and beyond and with Hannah, The Pet Society, to place dogs and cats into forever, loving homes.”

LYCOS As a four-legged police officer, Lycos provides an invaluable service to the St. Helens Police Department. But in September of 2011, Lycos’ life and future with the police department appeared to be a risk.

Discovered injured in his kennel, the cause of Lycos’ injury was never determined. The canine was eventually diagnosed with a back injury and partial paralysis after being taken to VCA Northwest Veterinary Specialists in Clackamas.

Taxpayer monies could not be used to pay for Lycos’ surgery because his prospects for returning to work as a police dog looked dismal at best. The cost of the surgery was estimated at $6,000.

“The alternative is to put him down,”

said St. Helens Police Chief Steve Sallé at the time.

Lycos had a slim chance of ever working as a police dog again said Sallé, but could have a long life as a pet.

Although Lycos had only been on duty with SHPD for a little more than a year after replacing Bosco, a German shepherd police dog that retired from the department in 2010, the response to his situation came quickly.

Word of Lycos’ plight began to spread throughout the community via news stories and Facebook, donations began coming in and a fund was set up at U.S. Bank. In fact, nearly $10,000 was donated in just the first week.

With the cost of Lycos’ surgery taken care of, veterinarians repaired a damaged vertebrae in Lycos’ spine on Sept.

27, 2011. But veterinarians at VCA still only gave him a 50/50 chance of ever being able to return to police work.

A little over a year after having surgery, Lycos has amazingly returned to duty with the St. Helens Police Department and is back with his partner, Officer Jon Eggers.

While he may not be up to full speed yet, the department says Lycos is doing remarkably well.

MIKE HERDRICH No list of those who give of themselves to their community would be complete without mentioning teachers.

The reality is that most teachers go far above and beyond the call of duty. Mike Herdrich is no exception.

As the head of St. Helens High School automotive skills program, Herdrich has a direct and immediate impact of the lives and futures of many students.

According to the National Center for Higher Education, about 50 percent of high school graduates go on to college.

So what happens to the other 50 percent?

That’s where Herdrich’s classes come in.

The automotive skills program Herdrich teaches gives students real-world experience they can use to pursue careers in automotive maintenance, or to purse an associate’s degree in applied science, or as a foundation for aviation maintenance or a bachelor’s degree.

While many may malign the “younger” generation as lacking direction and ambition, you won’t hear Herdrich make those kinds of comments.

“These kids are amazing,” he said.

“I’m really proud of them. I wish people could see what great students they are.”

Students in the automotive skills are paying it forward, too. Last year, the students donated a vehicle to a similar program at a Hillsboro high school to keep the program from shutting down.

This year, they spent about $8,000 the students raised over the past few years to purchase a lift that will be used primarily by students in future classes.

Whether it’s staying to late to help a student work though a particularly difficult problem with a car or traveling to various parts of the state for competitions, his dedication to his students and his craft is clear.

BOB AND PAUL KRENZ The Krenz family, which includes Bob Krenz, Bob’s son Paul Krenz and Bob’s great-granddaughter Emmelia Whister, has been collecting cans for more than two years now and has donated more than $10,000 to the Columbia Pacific Food Bank thanks to those cans.

The family has raised that much money in the past two years by collecting more than 200,000 cans dropped off at the family’s home at 33837 Pittsburg Road in St. Helens.

“We have some regulars that come all the time,” said Paul Krenz. “If it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t raise nearly as much money.”

In addition to taking in cans, Bob Krenz also helps organize the newspaper recycling bins at St. Helens High School.

For the Krenzs, it’s clear that giving back to the community is a family tradition.

In addition, the partnership agreement, which Locke said was sent to all of the foundation’s partner groups, does not provide for or describe any path for a partner group to separate.

“If it is the case that partner groups are not allowed to leave the foundation once they join, they need to make that explicit in the contract.

If not, they need to spell out what is the pathway for separation,” said Louis.

As to whether or not the foundation will be able to work out its issues with the recently resigned board, it doesn’t look good.

The foundation is already advertising for a new board and new volunteers to take over the music series.

When asked if the foundation would be willing to work with the previous board members, Locke said, “We’re willing to work with anyone who will do things 1 according to our rules.”

Letters Break the cycle Domestic and sexual violence service programs save lives - literally.

Intimate partner violence is responsible for 25 percent of all homicides in Oregon.

We can, and must, do something about this. Providing domestic violence victims with access to shelter, safety planning, and legal advocacy reduces re-assault by up to 70 percent, says a Johns Hopkins study. Access to services reduces homelessness, saves millions in medical costs, helps children succeed in school, adults stay in jobs, and breaks cycles of violence.

Current funding for these services is less than half what the Department of Justice and Department of Human Services found necessary to meet core needs – in 2006.

The demand for services has increased dramatically. In Columbia County over 1,500 calls came in to our crisis line last year.

The Oregonians who lost their lives to intimate partner violence deserved so much more. Domestic and sexual violence programs help victims become survivors.

We must stabilize access to lifesaving services in Oregon. The opportunity cost is simply too great.

Rachael Barry-Dame, Executive Director Columbia County Women’s Resource Center Ban is not logical Sen. Diane Feinstein (DCalif.), is bringing a bill in the Senate on or about Jan. 20, to ban “assault weapons,” and greatly expand the definition of what an “assault weapon” is; also

restrictions on magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds.

In addition, it is reported that much tighter restrictions will be placed upon the purchase, possession, ownership and licensing of designated weapons, and a grandfather clause that weapons in the general population must be registered. It is also proposed that current owners of these “designated” weapons must register them with the authorities. And upon death of the original owner the weapon(s) turned into the authorities.

While I do believe there must be something done to curb firearms violence. I do not agree that getting rid of “things” is the solution.

I do however, believe that everything possible should be done to: 1.) Protect our schools; 2.) Identify and intervene in a legal and common sense way into the lives of “troubled individuals” in getting them help, before they commit these crimes.

Those who believe that firearms control is the solution to this horrific problem ignore logic, common sense and facts. For instance, the automobile is the greatest “machine-caused-killer” of human beings ever invented.

Yet there is never an argument advanced that states, “We should ban automobiles!”

We test, issue licenses and regulate who can drive.

We re-test when appropriate.

There are criminal, medical and mental standards that have to be met by individuals so they can legally drive.

The emphasis being upon ensuring that public safety standards are met. Banning automobiles for being

“mass-killers,” is not logical, nor practical solution by any stretch of the imagination, even though the slaughter on our highways goes on.

Tom Klingbell, Warren Stop the spending waste What would you do with $20 million? Ponder that question for a minute or two and think of all the things you may do for yourself or others. What would $20 million dollars do for schools in our local areas? What would $20 million do to help charities within our community? How many nice things could one buy or even retire comfortably for the rest of ones lives?

Most of us understand that $20 million dollars is a huge sum of money that 99 percent of us reading this will never get the chance to have to answer that question.

So why ask the question?

Well, here is the answer.

The President of the United States just took a two-week vacation to Hawaii on your dime, $20 million worth of dimes. During this vacation he also flew back to Washington to ram through his tax hikes and no spending cuts because that might take away from his expensive vacations. He also gave pay raises to the vice-president and members of Congress and the Senate, and tax breaks to Hollywood and rum distributers, and then quick as a wink and not even personally signing his new fiscal cliff bill he was back in the air to Hawaii, while an auto-pen signed his name allowing him and big government the ability to rip you off. I know I have a list

of things I could do with $20 million. This kind of waste has to stop in America.

Natha Eggers, St. Helens A grateful thanks I want to thank the Columbia River Fire and Rescue personnel for their quick response to a small fire that involved a friend’s utility trailer parked in front of our

two-story, family workshop on Oct. 9. You want to think that “it will never happen to you,” but there comes a time when it is your property that is endangered by a fire.

That’s the time you realize you really don’t have the equipment or the know how to secure your belongings and you need help. Our St. Helens fire fighters were well prepared physically and mentally and treated our property

like it was their own. They were so professional with their skills, yet had time to say a few kind words to put us at ease! We felt like we were in good hands and we were.

We can’t thank you enough … Columbia River Fire & Rescue and Columbia County 9-1-1.

Barb and David Topham Warren

Food for Thought “A” for effort sometimes isn’t enough for healthy meals There you are again: sitting in front of another blah meal at home. You look down at your plate, sigh and take an unenthusiastic stab at something green-ish.

Your mind begins to wander to when you were young and naïve. You had all the time in the world to right your wrongs so you did what you wanted. After all, life was short and all about fun and what felt good!

But years and years of indulging in carnal pleasures has started to take its toll, mentally and physically. It was fast, easy and gratified your needs. As you aged, however, you started to yearn for something with more substance. While the ordinary and wholesome didn’t seem as spicy or exciting, and you don’t have that same primal attraction to it, you’ve noticed that you feel better in the long run now that you’ve

given it a try…at least that is what you tell yourself.

You look across the kitchen table at the life Valerie Walker you’ve Columbia Pacific chosen.

Food Bank You give a half-hearted smile; push your peas around on your plate as your mind returns to those wilder days at the bars… Oh the smells of fresh tatter-tots, the spicy kick of buffalo wings, the “healthy choice” iceberg lettuce salad drenched in thick, creamy ranch dressing, the way light would dance on the bacon grease as it gently caressed its way down a thick burger patty, and the beer -- OH!

The beer! Sweet fancy Moses how it beckons you!

Suddenly, you break out of your daydream.

“We’re only human, right?” you frantically say to yourself as you push away from the table and lunge for your coat, “I deserve to enjoy myself every once in a while.

I can’t be expected to survive on rabbit food!” After feverishly searching and finally finding the car keys you run out the door proclaiming, “I’m not a rabbit!” to the confusion of neighbors and loved ones.

It could go down like that. It does, in one way or another, for the 24 perent of Americans who’ve resolved to change something (No. 1 resolution: Lose weight or No. 5: Eat healthier) in the New Year and royally failed, according to The Journal of Clinical Psychology. But 24 percent isn’t that bad of

a failure rate. After all, that means 76 percent have been successful on some level even though they’ve probably wobbled from time to time in their commitment.

The research showed that people who “explicitly” made resolutions were 10 times more likely to be successful. In other words, you have to tell people about what you want to accomplish so that the shame and guilt at their discovery of your failure will motivate you not to eat a giant bowl of ice cream in front of the TV, but rather broccoli instead (yum!).

Sure, you’ll slip up and feel bad which then throws you into a downward spiral of self-hatred, but you’ve got to pull yourself out of it!

Eating healthfully doesn’t have to be a success or failure. There are many degrees of success. In eating health-

coals, and crayons supplied him he hands you his best attempt and you say to him, “What is this!?! Is that supposed to be me? I gave you the best art supplies (read: diet plan/workout schedule) and this is what you came up with? This doesn’t look anything like me. Did you give me green hair?” And so it is with a person learning to change their eating habits.

We don’t criticize their effort; we applaud the attempt, which encourages them to improve.

We humans are silly creatures. Even when we know we are tricking ourselves we happily give in to the game because it’s simply more fun and everybody loves fun.

What isn’t fun is gritting your teeth, bearing austerity for too long, getting no rewards, snapping and looking like a jackrabbit to everyone around you.

CASTROPHONY (F) I was brought to the Columbia Humane Society back in February 2010, because my owner lost her home and wasn’t able to keep us. I became very stressed from being kenneled up. I was also was very unhappy about being in the same room with a bunch of cats I didn’t know. CHS staff decided that I need a break from a shelter environment so I was living in foster care for a month. I was doing much better in foster care. My foster mom says that I was a totally different cat outside the shelter. I did not scratch or bite my foster mom, even though I will give you a piece of my mind if I’m unhappy about something. I’m not really a lap cat, but I do enjoy being near people and enjoy attention; I will repay your kindness with a happy and grateful purr. I have good litter box manners and I’m not scratching

For example, be a shining example of restraint during the week and on the weekend allow yourself a decadent treat like a rice cake with full-fat cream cheese… just kidding, eat something you really want so it’s something to look forward to. Make it easy to be successful. Start out slow and the victorious feelings will motivate you to aim a little higher.

13 Nights continues, MERKLEY: more Military News looking for new town halls planned volunteer managers “The Senate is broken.

And it is unacceptable that we cannot debate both sides of issues. It used to be a filibuster was a person saying ‘I object to a simple majority vote.’ There’s a profound principle at stake, something incredibly important,” Merkley said.

The senator added the use of filibusters was at one time a rare occurrence, only happening once or twice during a legislative session.

Now the use of filibuster has increased substantially.

“Every debatable motion is essentially affected. The result is that each one of those objections creates a minimum of a one week delay,” he said. “To give you a comparison, in six years as the majority leader, Lyndon Johnson faced one filibuster.

In (Sen. Harry) Reid’s six years, he’s faced 391. I’ve seen this change just in my lifetime.”

In addition to national issues, Merkley also tackled issues closer to home.

Among those issues are the proposed coal export terminal projects submitted by Kinder Morgan and Ambre

community tradition going for many years to come.”

Looking for Leaders The foundation is looking to fill immediate openings for managing director, treasurer and vendor coordinator, and is also looking for any volunteers interested in talent booking, marketing, corporate sponsorship development, web/Facebook communication, soundboard operation and general event help.

Letters of interest for lead positions should be emailed to: Bob Salisbury at bob@ lgoodlawyer.com and Keith Locke at keithlocke@ comcast.net. No phone calls please.

Change in E-payment vendor could affect Oregon taxpayers

service through a new vendor, Kentucky-based Value Payment Systems, which was selected in a competitive bidding process earlier this year. Taxpayers also have the option of direct debit payments from their checking or savings accounts, a service provided by U.S. Bank.

Payment options for taxpayers are listed at www. oregon.gov/dor/payments.

According to the Dept. of Revenue, people frequently use electronic payments to pay personal income taxes, tobacco taxes, and withholding and transit taxes. Options include credit or debit cards, or electronic funds transfers from checking or savings accounts.

“Electronic payments are convenient, safe, and secure, and they are a good way for taxpayers to manage regular payments to the Department of Revenue,” said Warren.

For TTY (hearing or speech impaired), call 1-800-8867204. Due to the amount of calls the department receives during tax season, callers may experience extended waiting times.

A change in the Oregon Department of Revenue’s electronic payment service providers could cause some taxpayers to miss payments due in January, the agency announced. The department’s contract with Georgia-based Official Payments expires on Jan. 3.

The agency is sending letters to more than 3,000 taxpayers who use Official Payments, notifying them of the change and urging them to switch to another electronic payment service or alternate payment method.

“We don’t want people to miss a payment to [the Dept. of] Revenue through no fault of their own, so we are trying to get the word out,” said Larry Warren, administrative services administrator.

Revenue officials particularly want to reach people who recently established a payment plan through Official Payments, since they likely will not receive the written notice. “If you’ve recently set up a recurring payment, you may not get a letter but your payment will still be affected,” Warren said.

Taxpayers who are concerned about their payment plan or have questions about any correspondence they receive from the Department of Revenue should contact the agency at (503) 378-4988 or 1-800-356-4222.

The department will maintain electronic payment

ST.

“I called for an expedited, programmatic Environmental Impact Statement.

What I found was that lots of folks really want to know the facts. How many trains would there be, what is the impact on global warming?

And I asked for programmatic because it looks at the issues for all of the proposals, not just a single proposal,” Merkley said.

The senator also noted that he asked for expedited because he has seen impact statements take anywhere between six months to six years to complete, and that kind of wait wouldn’t work in Columbia County’s favor.

Merkley added that an indepth analysis must be done to understand and weigh the economic benefits that could be realized from jobs and additional taxes against any possible environmental impacts from coal dust, river barges and rail traffic.

Merkley has additional town hall meetings scheduled during the month of January. For more information and for dates and times of the meetings, go to Merkley.Senate.gov.

Public invited to see youth teams compete with LEGO robots at state championships The top 188 teams from across Oregon and southwest Washington will compete with custom robots at the Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League State Championship tournaments Jan. 19-20 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public and will be held in the Liberty High School gymnasium, 21945 NW Wagon Way in Hillsboro and is presented by Rockwell Collins.

Families and the general public are invited to attend the championship tournaments, and watch working robots built by the top teams of 9-14 year olds from across the region who have done well at qualifying tournaments in December 2012.

These teams have used off-the-shelf LEGO robotics kits to construct ingenious working robots, which complete as many missions as possible on a 4-foot by 8-foot playing field. The teams also present research projects on

food safety, discuss technical aspects of their robots with judges, and show their stellar teamwork skills.

Each year FIRST LEGO League (FLL) defines a chal-

lenge that drives team activities. In this year’s Senior Solutions challenge, the FIRST LEGO League teams embarked on discovering and learning

about a problem faced by senior citizens. Each team developed a presentation describing what they learned and what they recommend to address the problem they have discovered and described. In addition, each team designed, built and programmed a small robot that conducts a series of missions on a robotics playing field based on challenges faced by seniors.

Oregon has one of the largest youth robotics programs in the country. In December 2012, over 400 teams and about 3,000 students participated in qualifying tournaments. The top 30% of these teams will compete at the Jan. 19-20 championships. Each team is made up of four to ten students who are given about 8 weeks to prepare for the tournament, including construction, design, and programming of the robot, and completion of the required scientific research.

Outdoors BOYS BASKETBALL

Indians go cold against Falcons In order to beat the fourthranked team in the state, a team needs to knock down its open field goal attempts. The Scappoose Indians (3-8) had a tough time doing that on Jan. 4. The Indians shot a frigid 7for-46 (.152 percent) from the field against the No. 4 La Salle Falcons (10-1), leading to a 60-27 La Salle win.

“We had some good looks that didn’t fall, but I have to give them credit as well,” said Scappoose coach Rahim Tufts. “They play great defense and they are extremely long.”

The Falcons boast a lineup with the height of a college team. They start one player who is 6’8” and two who are 6’5”.

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

Scappoose High School senior Branden Bailey beat Japan’s Yoshiyuki Inagagi during a cultural exchange freestyle wrestling meet on Jan. 6. Bailey was one of only two Oregon wrestlers to win a match.

Two of those players – 6’8” Sean Hays and 6’5” Jacob McGraw – scored 18 points apiece to pace the Falcons.

Overall, La Salle has seven players on its roster that are 6’3” or taller.

“Even with this I thought we played really well. We played tough defense other than some transition buckets by them and we played extremely hard,” Tufts said. “If we could have knocked down a couple more shots early, I think it would have been a different game.”

Tufts said he thinks La Salle will end up contending for a 4A state title this season.

Bailey leads Oregon vs. Japan

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — His houseguest, Yoshiyuki Inagagi, turned out to be a better bowler. But Branden Bailey was the better freestyle wrestler of the two on Jan. 6.

Bailey, Inagagi and several others spent Sunday afternoon at Big Al’s for a day of bowling before hitting the mats at Scappoose High School for a cultural exchange wrestling match. A team of 14 Japanese all-star wrestlers squared off against several prep wrestlers from around the state of Oregon.

The Japanese squad touched down at the Portland Airport around 7 a.m. Sunday morning. By 10 the kids had paired up with their hosts for the evening. Bailey was in the unique position of hosting the wrestler he would compete against later.

Bailey was one of only two Oregon wrestlers – along with Parkrose’s Josh Reyes – to win a match. Even with five of the Japanese wrestlers competing in multiple matches, Japan won 17 of the 19 contests. That wasn’t much surprise: All 14 wrestlers rank in the top four nationally in Japan.

After losing the first round of the

285-pound bout in overtime, Bailey won each of the next two rounds by scores of 3-2 to earn the only win from any of the 10 Columbia County competitors.

Scoring in these matches was different from the collegiate style used in Oregon high schools. Each round is scored separately and whoever wins two rounds wins the match. Points are also awarded differently, as wrestlers are rewarded for explosive moves like takedowns.

Both Oregon wins took three rounds.

In the 17 Japanese wins, only two went to three rounds. Those were against North Marion’s Lucas Randall and Gresham’s David Nelson. The other 15 were either over in two rounds or ended with a Japanese pin in the first round.

Bailey said the different style of competition – as well as the competition itself – made for his most difficult challenge of the season.

“He was the toughest kid I’ve wrestled this year – I mean by far,” said the Scappoose High senior. “They wrestle like what we wrestle in the spring – freestyle – but they do it year-round. So it’s a tough transition.”

That wasn’t the only part of the ordeal that was tough. Communicating is also a challenge. Technology, however, has helped on that front.

Smothering defense from the No. 3 La Salle Falcons (9-2) made good looks at the basket hard to come by for the Scappoose Indians (2-8) during a Jan. 4 contest. The Falcons took a 38-10 lead at halftime before going on to win 64-25.

After the first-half struggles, Scappoose seemed to figure out La Salle’s plan more effectively in the third quarter.

The Indians outscored the Falcons 8-7 in the period. La Salle, how-

ever, responded with a 12point edge in the final quarter.

Scappoose junior Brittany Catlow led the team with 9 points. Junior Abby Kessi contributed six rebounds and four steals to go along with 4 points.

That game followed three games at the Stayton Holiday Classic Dec. 27-29. Scappoose dropped all three.

GOING SMALL

Rianne Tupper

How the St. Helens Lions’ guard-oriented attack is racking up wins

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

A

season ago, the St. Helens Lions were able to trot three 6-footers onto the court.

That much size is rare in girls high school basketball. The Lions took advantage of it, as those three were each among the team’s top five scorers.

Those three 6-footers are gone this year. That means the Lions have had to adapt. And they’ve done so remarkably well.

Instead of pounding the ball inside as St. Helens tried to do a season ago, this year’s squad flies up and down the court, gunning 3pointers at will. It’s paid off thus far: The Lions’ 6-4 start is their best since the 1996-97 season, when the team won eight of its first 10 games

before ending the season 21-5.

At the forefront of the backcourt revolution are three guards who saw a lot of playing time last year: senior Jillian Ross, junior Nicole Harcourt and sophomore Michelle Sass. Combined, that trio has scored more than two-thirds of the Lions’ points this year. It’s common to see those three perimeter players joined by another guard – often junior Brittney Bartolomucci or sophomore Rianne Tupper – and just one post player.

Part of that is by accident — senior post Ashley Sharp suffered a broken leg six games into the season. Sharp ranks fifth on the team in points per game, right after Bartolomucci and just ahead of Tupper.

With guards owning five of the top six scoring spots, that means there is plenty of scoring to be had with the Lions’ small lineup.

“We can shoot the ball. And we’re good at driving in and then dishing back out,” said Ross.

The Lions’ dribble penetration forces defenses to collapse into the paint. When defenders leave their assignments on the perimeter, the sharpshooters are eager to make them pay.

The players know they have a green light to shoot from beyond the arc, and they relish the opportunity.

“I know if I hit one 3 I’ll take a step back. If they don’t put their hands up, it’s ‘OK I’m just gonna shoot it,’” said Sass.

Any time there is the slightest bit of space, the Lions are ready to shoot. A prime example was against Benson on Dec. 28, when the Lions made 10 3-pointers. After playing in the JV game earlier in the evening, Bartolomucci stepped in

and drained three first-half 3s in the varsity game.

“I don’t know why they were sagging off [defensively] – they saw me play in the JV game – but I like it a lot because it just gives me the freedom to shoot,” Bartolomucci said. “I had a lot of basketball practices during the summer so I know when I get into the game to trust my training.”

The team’s training at practice this year has included a lot of conditioning and a lot of shooting.

With only 16 players between the varsity and JV teams, it’s crucial players play a lot of minutes.

To help preserve energy, coach Billy McKinney has not hesitated to pull the ball out and stall a little on offense when the team gets a lead.

“We get our rest on offense and we play heads-up zone defense,”

McKinney said.

The Lions’ defense has improved greatly from a year ago.

Last season the team surrendered an average of 53.96 points per game; this year that number is down to 40.7.

“Our transition defense was horrible last year,” said Sass. “It was pretty bad at the beginning [of this year]. We had The Dalles and McMinnville, they transitioned on us so fast. And it kinda was a wakeup call. We practiced it in practice, got better at it and I don’t think we’ve had that much trouble with it since then. When we play the zone, since we’re all guards, we fly around the zone really fast. That’s what tends to work.”

That speed on defense has helped the team’s offense as well.

INDIANS: clamp down on ‘D’ in Sisters GUARDS: turning defense into offense

Scappoose with 10 points in the game.

Prior to that game, the Indians went 2-1 at the Sisters Holiday Tournament Dec. 27-29.

The Tribe took a commanding lead in the first game on Dec. 27 against the hosting Sisters Outlaws (3-7), but Sisters came back in the second half for a 65-56 victory.

“We played extremely well the first half but had a lot of defensive lapses in the second,” said Tufts.

Scappoose led by 13 after one quarter and was up 11 at halftime. Senior point guard Zach Smith led the Tribe on offense, scoring 13 in the first half and ending the game with 25.

Smith again scorched the nets in the second game, a 6444 win over Ridgeview (2-9).

He drained four 3-pointers in the third quarter on his way to a game-high 34 points.

The Indians held the Ravens to just 1 point in the first period and limited them to 7 in the fourth quarter.

The defensive intensity carried over to the team’s final game on Dec. 29 against Junction City (2-9). The Tribe held the Tigers to 8 points in the first half and were ahead by 31 at the break.

“We pressed and trapped, jumped on them early,” Tufts said. “Our energy on ‘D’ [against Ridgeview and Junction City] is what we’ve been looking for all year.”

Scappoose’s scoring was very balanced against Junction City. All 10 players that suited up recorded at least one field

goal. Senior Logan Stanton had a team-high 13 points.

Senior Paul Revis scored a dozen.

Scappoose hosted a team from Canada on Jan. 8. The Indians are home again on Jan. 11 against the fifth-ranked Central Panthers (10-0). That game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start, immediately following the girls varsity game.

From PAGE A10 “We’re a lot faster, transition-wise, getting back on defense. Even though we can’t stop the tall girls all the time, we tend to get more steals and a lot more assists, which means we’re sharing the ball a lot more,” said Ross.

Sometimes those assists lead to easy lay-ins for posts Jessica Amick and Lucy Kyle-Milward. Other times it means an open look from the outside.

“Then you get an assist AND a 3, and it’s just lovely,” said Sass.

With the non-league portion of the schedule in the past, the Lions hope their successful brand of small ball carries over into Northwest Oregon Conference play.

Their coach, for one, is confident it will.

“It’s been a good adjust-

WRESTLING

Tribe finishes 2-1 at 6A meet

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens senior Andrew Duggan pins a Seaside wrestler in the quarterfinals of a Jan. 5 tournament at St. Helens High School. Duggan went on to win the 132-pound bracket.

Indians, Lions fill final bouts ST. HELENS — Nine of the 14 championship matches during a Jan. 5 tournament at St. Helens High School featured wrestlers from either St. Helens or Scappoose high schools.

Local wrestlers emerged victorious in six of those matches, with the Indians accounting for four victories.

Alex Foumal, Hunter Hoyt, Devin Ray and Branden Bailey all won their weight classes for Scappoose.

Jose Silva and Andrew Duggan each came away with

victories for the home team.

Foumal’s win came in the 126-pound bracket, where he was 2-0.

Hoyt’s road to the 145pound title was much longer.

He came out on top in all four matches for first place honors.

Even with six schools in attendance, there were several scratches in various weight classes. The middle weights – 132, 138, 145 and 152 – were the most populated brackets with between 10-14 wrestlers apiece.

Duggan’s win came in the

132-pound division, where he went 2-1. He beat Scappoose’s Cody Erhardt in the finals.

The Lions’ Jon Luttrell finished second in the 152-pound division.

Scappoose controlled the upper two weight classes. Ray won the 220-pound title and Bailey finished first at 285.

Silva’s victory came in the 120-pound weight class, where he beat teammate Jesse Vanderwall in the finals.

Cole Snider of St. Helens added a runner-up finish at 113 pounds.

Scappoose’s Jeff Van Domelen was second in the 182-pound weight class.

Tigard and Seaside were the other Oregon schools at the meet; Mark Morris and Gig Harbor crossed the river from Washington to compete.

Next up for St. Helens is a Northwest Oregon Conference dual meet at home against Rex Putnam at 7 p.m. on Jan. 10.

Both St. Helens and Scappoose will then wrestle at the Pac-Rim Tournament in Seaside Jan. 11-12.

ALOHA — The Scappoose Indians put forth an impressive showing on Jan. 4 during the first of three straight days of competition for some SHS wrestlers.

Scappoose went 2-1 against 6A teams during a dual meet tournament at Aloha High School. Scappoose beat Sam Barlow High School – the eighth-ranked 6A school – 48-23.

Century then topped Scappoose 36-21. The Tribe ended the day with a 69-7 thrashing of the McKay Royal Scots.

Freshman Braxton Sue went undefeated, pinning his first opponent in the second round, winning a 9-2 decision against Century and then winning by forfeit at 106 pounds against McKay. Other Indians to earn two wins included senior Michael Lohman, senior Ryan Bond, sophomore Johnathan Tardif, senior Branden Bailey, senior Isaiah Goodrich and senior Bailey Apon.

Lohman won a 9-2 decision against Century and had

a second-round pin against McKay in the 152-pound division.

At 145 pounds, Bond won by pin against both Barlow and McKay. Tardif scored an 8-4 decision in the 160-pound match against Century. He finished the day with a first-round pin against McKay. Both of Bailey’s matches were over in the first round, as he scored pins against Barlow and McKay. Goodrich won a 12-5 decision in his 170-pound match against Barlow, then had a first-round pin against McKay. Both of Apon’s wins – and his loss – were narrow decisions. He won a 3-2 match in the opener against Barlow, then dropped a 3-2 decision. He ended with a 41 win against McKay. Freshman Kurt Mode won his only contested match at 113 pounds, earning a second-round pin against Century. He won via forfeit against the other two schools.

JAPAN: spent morning at Scappoose High

out the state. After spending the morning at Scappoose High School on Jan. 7, Revis took them east for their next stop in Boardman. Along the way they planned to stop at the outlet mall in Troutdale.

Bailey, who has now hosted a Japanese wrestler for four straight years, said going to school with them is always fun.

“At school tomorrow, they’re like celebrities. Girls are talking to them, everybody’s just like “Hey!” The

popular thing is ‘Teach me how to say swear words,’” Bailey said.

Those who host wrestlers usually end up receiving gifts.

Before each of the matches the competitors also exchanged gifts. Bailey said he gave Inagagi a Made in Oregon gift bag as well as an Oregon wrestling singlet.

“I thought it’d be cool for him to go home with something he could use,” he said.

Inagagi gave Bailey a wrestling bag.

“You can put your headgear

in there. I thought that was really cool,” he said.

Some of the other gifts exchanged included T-shirts, chopsticks and pins.

Bailey said he was also planning to treat Inagagi to some pulled pork after the match. He figured they’d probably spend some time playing the video game Grand Theft Auto as well.

Going into the weekend, Bailey said he knew he’d have a good time. The surprise, he said, was that he added a win on the mat to go along with the

fun off of it.

“It’s really fun, the experience in itself. And watching this dual has always been fun. I never really thought I’d… I never saw myself winning one,” he said.

Bailey is hopeful he’ll be able to visit Japan in the summer to wrestle. Several Scappoose wrestlers have made the trip as part of the cultural exchange program. Bailey’s current teammates Ben Gadbois and Johnathan Tardif were part of the Oregon team that traveled to Japan last summer.

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

Scappoose freshman Kurt Mode was overmatched by Japan’s Yuji Uekagi on Jan. 6, but Mode won his only bout at Aloha on Jan. 4.
