Scappoose City council looks to Scappoose’s future ballot measure on fluoride passes BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
SCAPPOOSE — Ballot measure 5-231, which asked voters to decide if the city should continue to add fluoride to its water system, passed with 847 votes in favor and 551 votes against. Those numbers represent a voter turnout of about 36 percent. For the City of Scappoose, that means Joe Lewis, water treatment plant supervisor, will keep doing what he has been doing since the city began adding fluoride to its drinking water in 2000. “It’s just business as usual,” said City Manager Jon Hanken. The question of whether or not the city should continue adding fluoride was raised last summer but it wasn’t until September that the decision was made to put it to the voters. By that time, it was too late to get the measure on the November 2012 election schedule. Hanken estimates the delay in getting the measure on the ballot cost the city around $3,000. Although the question has been answered for now, Hanken doesn’t believe this will be the last time the issue will come before the city council. “My guess is that at some point in time – three or five years – somewhere down the road it will come up again,” he said. ‘Most policy issues, in my opinion, have a cyclical nature to them.” See FLUORIDE, Page A7

SCAPPOOSE — “Scappoose strives to provide the right balance of cosmopolitan and rural opportunities by offering excellent educational, cultural, entertainment, and recreational opportunities; an active and connected community that is world class and economically competitive. We are a safe and exceptional place to live, play, and work.” This is the revised vision statement proposed by the Scappoose City Council following its March 13 goal planning session. But there was more to the all-day meeting than revising the city’s vision. The council, along with City Manager Jon Hanken, looked at what lies ahead for this growing community. What will Scappoose look like in

10 or 20 years? Will the city’s business community be thriving? Will there be significant residential growth? How
about new recreational opportunities? “What we’re doing today is looking at the goals, vision and where this
council wishes to take this community in the next decade and longer,” said Hanken. Although the meeting was open to the public, only a handful of others, including Scappoose School District Superintendent Stephen Jupe attended the meeting. “In 10 years, I would like to see a really thriving community; it’s a business community, a place to invest. It’s environmentally well controlled. It’s a place where my students want to leave to get an education and come back and raise children,” said Jupe. “That is hugely important so that we get steady, maintained growth.” Commercial real estate developer Brian Rosenthal told the council more attention needed to be given to local proposed coal export projects, specifically those using rail transportation, See COUNCIL, Page A7

For the staff at Houlton Bakery, it’s business as usual as they place fresh baked goods in display cases and help customers. Owner Gainor Rikor announced earlier this month she would be closing the shop on March 23.
Changes in the mix for local bakery BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
ST. HELENS — For much of the past decade, residents and visitors to St. Helens have come to Houlton Bakery on Columbia Boulevard to sit down and have a cup of coffee with a just-out-ofthe-oven Snickerdoodle, enjoy a delicious lunch, or take home a
loaf of fresh-baked bread. That will soon be changing. Owner Gainor Riker sent a notice to her customers on March 1 announcing the bakery would be closing on March 23. “Since opening the bakery in January 2004, we have endeavored to develop and evolve our products and services to keep pace with the local economy,” said Gainor. “Now we have encoun-
DEQ approves cleanup of 2010 tanker gas spill BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
DEER ISLAND — Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality has approved the cleanup of a New Year’s Eve 2010 gasoline spill site near the intersection of Chaney Road and U.S. Highway 30, about a mile south of Dear Island. At the time of the accident, DEQ investigators estimated the cleanup effort would take at least six months. The spill occurred on Dec. 31, 2010, when a Wilcox and Flegel gasoline
tanker-truck struck four cows that had escaped through a nearby fence and were crossing Highway 30. The tanker-truck then rolled onto the highway shoulder and fuel began spilling onto the ground. Originally, it was thought that 1,800 gallons of gas had spilled from the truck and seeped into the soil, although that number eventually rose to 2,200 gallons. “We maintain the standards of cleanup and regulate the overall effort. First we identify See DEQ, Page A2
tered an obstacle that will keep us from continued growth in our current location.” Recently, after the St. Helens Book Shop next to the bakery closed, Riker looked into getting a license to serve alcohol with the intention of serving dinner and offering cooking classes. Rikor said the bookstore’s closing has definitely had an impact on her business.
“Not only are there vacancies, but the building used to be a retail building and now it’s servicebased. The businesses in it provide a service, they don’t sell a product. That affects what we can do as far as our foot traffic,” she said. “We’ve been here long enough to see the different traffic flows based on who our co-tenants are.” See BAKERY, Page A3
St. Helens High students among video finalists BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
ST. HELENS — Students from building construction teacher Joe Mauck’s class at St. Helens High School have been selected as finalists in the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition video contest. For one of Mauck’s students, it may seem like dejá vu. Michael Norris was part of the team the created a video for last year’s
contest, which ultimately took third place. Other team members include Josiah Beggio, Keenan Reed, Shawn Vielmetti, Colton Sundell, Cody Cunningham, David Bair and Summer Fultcher. The Oregon Young Employee Safety Coalition, also known as O[yes], works to educate young workers, educators, employers, parents, and labor and trade associations through outreach, advocacy, and sharing of resources. The annual “Speak Up,
Work Safe” video contest brings the importance of safety to life through song, humor and creative storytelling – and some close calls on the job. The contest is open to all high school students in Oregon and is designed to increase awareness about safety on the job for young people. Students were asked to create a 90-second video based on the concept of speaking up about potential See VIDEO, Page A3

DEQ: cleanup costs fell to the company that owned tanker From PAGE A1 the circumstances and then we’ll ask someone to take samples; that’s soil samples and groundwater samples. The preliminary data showed that they were not able to excavate all of the contaminated soil out there within a couple days of the spill. It had seeped beyond what they were able to excavate out,” said DEQ Project Manager Larsen Henning. Henning said the cost for the cleanup effort fell to the company that owned the truck involved in the accident, Wilcox and Flegel Oil Company of Longview, Wash. Environmental contractors stabilized conditions at the site, removed 800 tons of petroleum-contaminated soil, and treated and monitored groundwater contamination. “We installed groundwater wells into the shallow groundwater to track the contamination over time. Then [Wilcox and Flegel] did what we call remediation, which in this case is removing soil and injecting air into the water to ‘volatile out’ the gasoline contami-
nation and stimulate some bacterial degradation of the gasoline as well,” Henning added. Following this, crews removed gas vapors from the subsurface, a process called soil vapor extraction, in which special vacuums are applied to the soil to collect and remove existing vapors for a period of approximately nine months. “Ultimately, they have to provide us with some data showing that the goals of the project and cleanup of the groundwater was complete. Then we basically look at all of the information – what we know about what was lost, what was recovered, what we know about the data as far as trends in the groundwater – and then we make a decision,” Henning said. DEQ reviewed the cleanup project reports and concluded that low-level contamination remaining at the site does not pose a risk to nearby residents or the environment. The agency concluded the cleanup of the spill was complete and that no further action was required unless additional information becomes available that warrants more investigation.

I think Morrow Pacific will be part of Oregon’s comeback. Small businesses will benefit. So will the county from taxes – and the environment will be protected. I’m very much for it.
’’
Kevin Iverson St. Helens
People in communities across Oregon are voicing their support for the Morrow Pacific project. Morrow Pacific is a coal export project that will bring opportunity to Columbia County while protecting the environment. Every aspect of the project has been designed to eliminate dust and spillage, and reduce diesel emissions. For example, the low-sulfur coal will be shipped in covered barges to Port Westward, where it will be transferred to oceangoing vessels through an enclosed transloader. The coal will not come ashore, and no storage facilities will be needed in Columbia County.
The project will also create much-needed family-wage jobs with benefits in Columbia County, and pay more than $1.6 million annually in county fees and taxes.* At full capacity, the project will make an annual voluntary contribution of about $800,000 to local schools. Supporting the economy while protecting the environment is part of our commitment to doing business the Oregon way. And it’s why so many Columbia County residents support the Morrow Pacific project.

workplace hazards. The videos were judged on creativity, originality, youth appeal, production quality, and message. The St. Helens High video entry is titled “You Good?” and was a true collaborative effort. “We all thought of the idea. We thought it was something that would be funny that we would all want to see,” said Michael. After assigning parts to those who had volunteered, the group used two cameras – one for video and one for audio – to film the story. The group certainly isn’t one to waste time either. It took just two days to come up with the concept, write the script, shoot the video and edit it.

BAKERY: Rikor’s goal is to open a cooking school From PAGE A1 Rikor said she has also seen recent changes to her customer base. “We’re seeing more people from a larger area of St. Helens. I’ve worked in the restaurant business for 30 years and I do have people who have followed me from Portland. There are people who know about us in Scappoose who make a dedicated trip to come here once a week,” she said. Rikor has turned her efforts to social media and has already begun offering some cooking classes at night. “We wanted to evolve into some dinner hours and some more full-service cooking classes,” Rikor added. After she was unable to come to agreement with her landlord, a requirement for obtaining the alcohol license, she made the decision to close the shop. But even as the closing deadline approached, Rikor hadn’t given up hope that an alternate solution could
be found. “The ultimate goal is to move to another location where we could sign a longterm lease,” said Rikor. She has been meeting with local agencies like the Columbia County Economic team with the hopes of obtaining some additional funding or identifying another location she could move her business to – or even both. She also put the bakery up for sale. “We thought maybe there is someone in the community who would like to take this on,” she said. Rikor said that by selling the bakery, she would hopefully then have the time and capital to pursue her goal of opening a cooking school in Columbia County. Her efforts may have paid off already. Although she wasn’t able to disclose
specifics, Gainor said a couple of parties have expressed an interest in buying the bakery. Gainor said she hoped to be able to announce the bakery will be staying open – just under a new owner – before the March 23 closing date. Through the ups and downs, Gainor said it has been her customers that made it all worthwhile. “The bakery’s open kitchen has enabled us to maintain a most cherished relationship with our customers,” said Gainor’s announcement. “As we have gotten to know all of you, we feel you know us now too. You have been the most loyal, kind, and supportive patrons. The trust you place in our entire staff, encourages us to continue to search for a way to stay in the community.”

Scappoose Fire District March 11-15 – Scappoose Fire provided seven medical transports to hospitals and two medical assessments without transport. March 11 – Units extinguished a chimney fire on SE Elm Street. March 14 – Personnel provided public assistance on Raymond Creek Road.
Log truck accident closes Cornelius Pass several power lines and at least one power pole along the roadway, which meant the road had to be closed while Multnomah County crews worked to make repairs. During the closure, drivers were asked to use alternate
routes like Highway 26; vehicles carrying hazardous cargo were routed to Interstate 5 south to Highway 217 west to Highway 26 and cars headed into or out of Columbia County were rerouted to NW Logie Trail Road. Columbia County Rider
passengers headed to Portland Community College’s Rock Creek Campus or the Willow Creek TriMet station were impacted by the road closure. Cornelius Pass Road was eventually reopened around 6 p.m.
Otto Petersen students chosen for testing Each year the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests a selection of fourth grade students across the nation. Otto Petersen Elementary was chosen this year to participate. Approximately 60 students were chosen at random by NAEP to participate. The students were tested in either math
or reading and will represent Oregon’s fourth graders. The schools will be able to use the results from the tests to compare with the rest of the state and nation to see how it ranks. This can help direct educators’ efforts to make sure students are learning the skills needed to be successful in life. Otto Petersen’s fourth graders did an
great job of being respectful and responsible, said school officials. The NAEP test coordinators had great things to say about the students, staff and school. As a thank you for a job well done, Burger King restaurant awarded a free ice cream cone to each fourth grade student who participated, for which the students were very grateful.

Letters Find another way I am writing in regards to the school board thinking of banning all guns in our public schools. While there is a concern about the safety of our children, I feel that banning guns is not the answer. All it does is to govern the already law-abiding citizen as I am sure the criminal isn’t going to look at your laws and say “Oh, I need to find another way to go in and do the killing as it is against the law to have a gun on school property.” Look at all the laws pertaining to drugs and yet drugs run rampant in this country. So the only ones you are controlling are the law-abiding people, not the criminals. I do believe something needs to be done, but outlawing guns is not the solution.

closing this month, not long after the good bookstore in the same building went out of business. This is really a shame as this is a stunningly good bakery with very nice management and staff, and one of the city’s bright and successful businesses. Let’s all do what we can to encourage the keeping of the bakery. Mike Sheehan, Scappoose Appeal made There has been an appeal filed by the CHD regarding the summary judgment. The appeal is based on the fact that Judge Grove did not evaluate the evidence that was presented by the CHD; rather he based his decision on a missed deadline by the pro-bono CHD attorney. A request for an extension of time by the CHD was not responded to by Grove. In addition, a decision was made by Judge Reed while Judge Grove was on vacation; the
decision was made by Reed who had been recused from these court proceedings by the CHD. We are surprised to hear that Commissioner Hyde now wants to have public discussion about the Millard Road property, as several attempts were made by the CHD to have that discussion. Both the commissioners and the City of St. Helens adamantly refused the offer to mediate a solution that would be fair to all the taxpayers in the CHD district. The illegal dissolution plan that the old CHD board placed on the ballot and was approved by voters was rescinded by the newly elected CHD board within the legal time frame. Attempts to retain competent legal counsel were thwarted by the County Commission as they illegally withheld the funds of the CHD, and refused to allow the duly elected CHD board to act as a board. This conspiracy was perpetrated mutually
by Dave Coverly
with the old CHD board, the County Commissioners, the City of St. Helens, and the attorneys of the Special District of Oregon – that were supposed to be looking out for the best interests of their clients the CHD – rather than conspiring to steal assets from the taxpayers in the CHD district. We intend to continue all legal avenues for the disbursement of CHD assets to the taxpayers in the district.

From the Legislature
Seniors, disabled top list of priorities The Senior and Disabled Property Tax Deferral is a program that benefits many of my constituents and its precarious circumstances over the past two years have generated a lot of anxiety and, therefore, a lot of mail. One of the bills that passed the House this week, HB 2489A, will help alleviate those fears by re-extending participation in the Senior and Disabled Property Tax Deferral Program to those who had previously been disqualified solely due to the presence of a reverse mortgage. As many of you know, a reverse mortgage occurs when homeowners sell their homes to a bank and the bank then makes payments to them at an agreed upon sum. Many senior and disabled citizens, who are on limited incomes, take advantage of this opportunity because it gives them the additional income that they need to be able to stay in their homes. Unfortunately,
this puts the state in second position to the bank when it comes to reimbursement for these deferrals upon the sale of the property. This looming liability threatened the solvency of the entire program. In 2011, due to Oregon’s budget crisis and the deteriorating housing market, the Legislature changed the qualifications to make them more stringent, effectively eliminating those with a reverse mortgage. As a result, about half of the program’s participants were disqualified. In 2012, the program was granted a two-year reprieve. Now, in 2013, with an improving economic climate on the horizon for the housing market, we felt that this program could safely be preserved and most of those with reverse mortgages could be reinstated. I was pleased to be able to support HB 2489A and it is now on its way to the Senate for their review.
Thursday in Agriculture and Natural Resources we had a long and fruitful discussion on HB 2259. This bill would increase certain fees the Water Resource State Rep. Brad Department Witt (D-Clatskanie) levies. It also removes the sunset on the overall fee structure that the department put in place during the 2009 Legislature. At that time, 30 percent of each transaction was paid by the one who requested the department’s action. The other 70 percent was paid through the general fund, as the department’s objective is based on protecting the interests of the public and other water users that might be affected by the change. In 2009 that split was
moved towards the 50/50 mark. There was both broad support and opposition to this bill from the stakeholders. Municipalities, irrigation districts, and the Nurseries’ Association supported the bill saying it was important that fees be increased with the cost of doing business for the Department. The Oregon Cattlemen, the Dairy Farmers Association, small miners, and small water co-ops are opposed to the bill. They stated that industry and agriculture are still trying to right the ship after the great recession and that further increases in their fees might overburden their recovery. This issue is complex, so the committee is organizing a work group to try and find a compromise between the stakeholders and gather more detailed information for the members of the committee. Finally, I was honored to carry HB 2233A, which creates a more streamlined process for the seizure
of abandoned and derelict vessels in our state’s waterways. Columbia County has over 70 miles of river frontage so this bill is especially important to our legislative district. It authorizes law enforcement personnel, the State Marine Board, or any other public body with responsibility for land or water, to seize these vessels. It also provides for the following: Makes vessel owner liable for net costs of salvage, towing, storage and disposal Provides the owner the opportunity to request a pre-seizure hearing Provides the owner the opportunity to reclaim the vessel, subject to certain costs Allows DEQ to board the vessel in order to manage oil or hazardous materials I’m pleased to say that the bill passed unanimously and is now on the Senate side for their consideration.

Choose disease-resistant roses for your yard BY DENISE RUTTAN OSU Extension
Roses have such fanciful names and alluring colors, so how do you choose which ones to plant? “If I’m going to grow roses I tend to grow roses that have fragrance,” said Barb Fick, a horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service. “Some people go for color. I also go for diseaseresistance.” Fick advises buying roses that are immune to the fungal threats of rust, powdery mildew and black spot. The Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Handbook at http://bit.ly/13CMMNn offers a list of disease-resistant varieties. The handbook cautions that roses that are resistant in one location may be susceptible in another region because different fungal
strains may be present. Roses that smell sweet and are moderately resistant to black spot, powdery mildew and rust include the dark-red Mr. Lincoln; the Double Delight with its shades of reds, pinks and whites; and the pastel pink Tiffany. The orange-red Fragrant Cloud is highly resistant to rust and is moderately resistant to powdery mildew and black spot. The sunsetorange Voodoo has high resistance to all three, according to the handbook. Floribunda roses, or shrub roses, that resist rust and have moderate resistance to powdery mildew and black spot include the classic pink Cherish and the smoky-orange Marina. The white Class Act is immune to rust and powdery mildew and moderately resistant to black spot. The sunshine-yellow Sunsprite is moderately resistant to all three. One advantage to shrub roses is that

they’re low-maintenance and hardy, Fick said. If you want a climbing rose, keep in mind that they require more pruning than shrub roses, Fick said. Install a trellis or use an archway for a climbing rose, which needs space to grow vertically as well as horizontally. Disease-resistant climbing roses include the fire engine-red Altissimo, which is resistant to rust and has medium resistance to black spot and powdery mildew. The lemon-yellow Golden Showers and the Joseph’s Coat in its rouge and peach hues possess moderate resistance to all three. The rich apricot-hued Royal Sunset resists all three. At the nursery, roses come with bare roots or in a plastic container. For container plants, dig the planting hole twice as wide as the container. For bare-root roses, dig the hole

wide enough so you can spread the roots horizontally. February and March are the months to plant bare-root roses in western Oregon. Plant them in a spot with well-drained soil that will receive six to eight hours of full sun. Water your newly planted rose. For planting and care tips, view the Extension guide at http://bit.ly/ X8hTbf. Although it is geared for high-desert gardeners, the advice also applies to western Oregon.

The Columbia County Women’s Resource Center will hold its annual “Take a Walk in Her Shoes” event to prevent violence on April 20.
Take a walk to prevent violence This April, join with your neighbors to prevent violence where you live. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the Columbia County Women’s Resource Center and its male allies will hold the “Take a Walk in Her Shoes” event on April 20. This will be a short, high-heeled walk to raise awareness and reduce the incidence of sexual assault. The walk will take place beginning at the St Helens High School Commons and return to the high school to celebrate with a short program, children’s activities, music, prizes and fun. There will be food for sale and everyone is
invited to stay for the Kiwanis Donkey Basketball Game at 6 p.m. This event will get people talking and working together to end violence in Columbia County. There is a $15 registration fee before April 14 that includes a walk t-shirt, after April 14 registration is $20. For more information or to register, go to CCWRC.com, call 503-397-7110 or e-mail info@ccwrc.com. Sexual assault is not just a women’s issue. It affects individuals of all gender identities as well as women, men who care about them, their families, their friends, their coworkers, and their
communities. Sexualized violence is epidemic. Every two minutes someone in America is raped. One in six American women are victims of sexual assault and most of these assaults are never reported. That means someone you know, someone you care about, has been or may become the victim of sexual violence. It may be your mother, your sister, your friend, your girlfriend, your wife, your coworker, or your daughter. CCWRC is the only agency dedicated to serving victims and survivors of domestic and sexual violence in the community.

St. Helens Federal Community Credit Union raises money for local charities ST. HELENS — St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union’s annual CU 4 A Cause campaign was expanded to eight charities for 2013-14. Credit union employees helped to raise more than $7,000 for local charities. The credit union recently presented checks to the Amani Center, Columbia Pacific Food Bank, and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Team (Columbia County). SHCU started CU 4 A Cause in 2011 as a way for employees to choose and actively support communitybased charities. Every two years, employees vote to select partner charities and commit to helping them raise money and volunteering as needed. SHCU members are also encouraged to participate in fundraising raffles, and the credit union provides an initial $500 grant to each charity. In 2011 and 2012, SHCU employees and members raised more than $13,000 for the partnering nonprofits. SHCU has expanded the number of charities to eight for the 2013-2014 campaign. “For 75 years, SHCU has been making a difference in the communities it serves,”

St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union presented eight charities with $500 checks to begin the two-year CU 4 A Cause partnership. Those attending were (back row) Annette Perrin of Columbia Humane Society; April Ehrlich of Community Action Team; Brooke Van Vleet, president/CEO of SHCFCU; Andrew Bliss of The Amani Center board of directors; Robin Loper of Sacagawea Health Center; (front row) Laura Hunsinger of KidCare Scappoose; Monique Oliver of the Columbia Pacific Food Bank; and Nicole Lawrence of Sacagawea Health Center.
said Brooke Van Vleet, credit union president and CEO. “We are fortunate to have a number of outstanding charities that care for those in need, and I’m proud of the way our employees and members are stepping up to help these organizations continue their good work.” The eight charities cho-
sen by SHCU employees for 2013-2014 include: Amani Center, CASA for Kids, Inc., Columbia Humane Society, Community Action Team, Columbia Pacific Food Bank, KidCare Scappoose, American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life (Columbia County) and Sacagawea Health Center.
COUNCIL: city’s vision needs revisiting From PAGE A1
and proposed the council draft a resolution asking the Port of St. Helens for in-depth studies on the project’s coal train traffic, possible safety issues and effects on the city and local businesses. “This is not a question of worrying about coal or global warming, I just see immense transportation, safety and quality of life issues,” said Rosenthal. “I see a potential for a reduction in property values, reduction in quality of life.” Many council members were equally worried about the potential safety and economic
issues that could arise from increased train traffic. “I think the railroads just have too much autonomy and too much power, and they’re not going to give it up,” said Councilor Mark Reed. In addition to specific issues, the council also looked at revising the city’s vision statement. Most of the councilors agreed the city’s existing vision statement was too long and needed to be refined. “We need to have some conversations around what we want to be, what we think we want to be, what assets – what land we have, what UGB decisions have been made… and then we’ll make our vision
statement fit that,” said Councilor Jason Meshell. Among the items identified by the council members as part of Scappoose’s future were: an airport that is the center of economic development; a community that is bike and pedestrian friendly; has an excellent transportation system; world class educational opportunities; has vibrant parks and recreational opportunities, community activity center and sustainability gardens; and a comprehensive emergency preparedness strategy. The city council will review the proposed vision statement at its April 1 regular meeting.

Scappoose Industrial Airpark Master Plan Update – Kick-Off Meeting
The intent of the project is to update the 2004 Scappoose Industrial Airpark Airport Master Plan. This document is nine years old and needs to reflect new facilities, current projections of airport activity, new environmental and other regulatory constraints, and plan for an appropriate mix of land uses to support projected aviation and non-aviation needs and the long-term financial health of the airport. The updated Master Plan will help the Port of St Helens (Port) determine needed airside and landside improvements based on updated forecasts of demand for aviation services. Obsolete elements of the existing airport layout plan will be corrected and an updated capital improvement plan will allow the Port to make strategic investments in needed airfield projects. Interested parties may visit the Port’s website at http://www.portsh.org to view the meeting agenda.

Columbia Chorale to sing in joint performance of ‘Lux Aeterna’ ST. HELENS — The Columbia Chorale and the North Coast Chorale will perform renowned composer Morten Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna.” The performances will be held on March 22 at 7:30 p.m., at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, on 16th and Franklin streets in Astoria; and on March 23 at 7:30 p.m., at First United Methodist Church, 560 Columbia Blvd., in St. Helens.
The concerts are free to attend, but freewill donations are being accepted. Several spiritual pieces will be performed with the highlight of the recital being the five-movement “Lux Aeterna,” or Light Eternal. The score is composed of sacred Latin texts, set to music, which, in the composer’s own words, was written “to create a quiet, direct, and introspective meditation on
light, using primarily the constant harmonies, intricate counterpoint, formal procedures and chant-like melodic lines of [the late Renaissance].” Lauridsen is a Pacific Northwest native, distinguished professor of composition at the University of Southern California Thornton School of Music, composer-in-residence of the Los Angeles Master Chorale for seven years,
and recipient of the National Medal of the Arts. The performance is to be given by the local Columbia Chorale of Oregon and by the North Coast Chorale, based out of Astoria. The two groups, totaling more than fifty singers, have been practicing since the beginning of the year. The concert will be conducted by North Coast’s Dr. Denise Reed and Columbia Choral’s AJ Wong.

The applicant seeks approval to site the hardship manufactured home for parents just 10 feet from the rear and 2 feet from the side abutting Six Dee’s Lane. The subject property is 0.65 acre, zoned Single Family Residential (R-10), and is identified by Tax Map No. 4105-CC-01400, located at 2854 Columbia Blvd. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing regarding a request from the Port of St Helens, who have submitted an application for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Zone Change to Expand the Port Westward Industrial Site by approximately 957 acres to Facilitate and Attract Large Scale Industrial Uses and Related Businesses. SAID PUBLIC HEARING will be held before the Columbia County Planning Commission on Monday, April 1, 2013, at 230 Strand, St. Helens, starting at or after 6:30 p.m., at which time proponents and opponents of the proposed application will be heard. The criteria to be used in deciding the request will be found in some or all of the following documents and laws, as revised from time to time: Oregon Revised Statutes ORS 197.763; Oregon Administrative Rules; Columbia County Comprehensive Plan; Columbia County Zoning Ordinance. The specific criteria applicable to this request is listed and evaluated in the staff report. A copy of the application, all documents and evidence relied upon by the applicant, and the staff report are available for inspection at no cost and will be provided at reasonable cost at least 7 days prior to the Commission hearing from Land Development Services, County Courthouse Annex, St. Helens, OR, 97051. If additional documents or evidence are provided in support of the application, any party shall be entitled to a continuance of the hearing. Unless there is a continuance, and if a participant so requests before the conclusion of the evidentiary hearing, the record shall remain open at least seven days after the hearing. At each hearing, the applicant has the burden of presenting substantial evidence showing that the application meets all of the applicable criteria. Following presentation of the staff report, the applicant and other persons in favor of the application will be allowed to address the commission, explaining how the evidence submitted meets the applicable criteria. Following the applicant’s presentation, any person in opposition to the application may present evidence and argument against the application. The applicant will then have the opportunity to rebut any evidence or arguments presented in opposition. After the presentation of evidence and arguments, the public hearing record will be closed.

A familiar face will take control of the Sea Lions Swim Team in St. Helens. Beginning on April 2, Curtis will be the head coach, taking the place of Jared Plahn. Curtis started swimming at Eisenschmidt Pool as a 5-yearold, learning how to swim from Gina Harrington. She continued swimming with the Sea Lions throughAllison Curtis out high school and college. Now, Curtis is bubbling with enthusiasm at the prospect of coaching where she learned to swim. “I’m really excited because I love to swim. My parents got tired of taking me to the pool every night, so they said I was going to join the team,” she said. Curtis swam the individual medley and the breaststroke at SHHS, where she graduated in
2003. While she was in high school, she also was a lifeguard and taught swim lessons at Eisenschmidt. She then competed in the 200 IM, 200 butterfly and 400 IM at Pacific University, where she graduated in 2007. Curtis placed at her district swim meet in all three events in each of her four years at Pacific. For the past few years she has been in Southern California enjoying swimming in the outdoor pools and getting her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Chapman University. Now she’s putting her education to work as a physical therapist at St. Vincent’s Hospital. Curtis said she has a flexible schedule that will allow her to make it to the Sea Lions’ year-round practices. Curtis said she is impressed with how much the club has grown since the time she first started swimming in it. “I’d like to carry on what Jared’s built. I remember looking up to those high schoolers when I was five,” Curtis said. Plahn had coached the Sea Lions for 13 years. As of March 1, his team had 22 members. – Kyle Boggs

Newcomers dazzle in debuts BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
SCAPPOOSE — The season-opening Anderson Relays revealed a lot of promise for the Scappoose High School boys track team on March 14. The girls competed well despite missing several key athletes. Senior newcomers Kenny Klippel and Paul Revis both dazzled in their debuts. Each had outings that would have sent them to the state meet had their marks been recorded last season. Klippel won the javelin with a throw of 151-7, which would have earned him second place at last year’s Cowapa League District Meet. Revis won the long jump, going 21-5 in his first day of competition. That mark was six inches better than last year’s Cowapa League champion mark. “Their opening marks were pretty impressive, but not entirely surprising given that we know that they are both solid athletes,” said Scappoose coach David Harley. Klippel also finished second in the shot put with a throw of 42-4.5. Senior Jadyn Harris picked up where he left off last year in the 300 hurdles. His time of 42.34 seconds was within a quarter-second of the time he ran last year to win league. Scappoose also got wins

Field events carry Lions at opener BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
PORTLAND — St. Helens Lions dominated the field events at the Polar Bear Invitational at Westview High School on March 13. The Lions won seven of the 14 field events on a day that was polar in name only, as the sun warmed the field all afternoon. St. Helens added several other topfive showings in the throws and jumps as well. “Our strength in the field was encouraging since we didn’t show a lot of speed on the track, but we knew that going in,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. The coach said he thought the unseasonably warm weather was a bigger thrill than anything else. “The best part of the day was that we didn’t get wet and we were warm and enjoying the sun. Also it was a lot of fun finally getting to compete after three weeks of workouts,” Tinkle said. Junior returner Kylie Reinholdt had one of the top showings of the day. She won the high jump with a mark of 5-0 and was runner-up in the triple jump after going 347. In the first meet of the season, she matched her personal best in the high jump. For the boys, junior Chris Gray highlighted the field events. He won the pole vault with a clearance of 11-6 and was second to senior teammate Jeff Steinke in the long jump. Steinke went 18-11; Gray’s jump measured out at 18-4. Senior Jared Bonney’s win in the high jump rounded out the highlights in the jumping events. He cleared 5-8.

Rennie was the winner in the discus with a throw of 87-9. And senior Dana Sukau won the javelin with a mark of 102-11. The boys took three of the top five spots in the discus and got a second-place finish See LIONS, Page A15
St. Helens’ bats trigger bounce-back win After struggling through the final two innings of a March 14 road game against the Canby Cougars (3-0), the St. Helens Lions (2-1) exploded offensively in the top of the first inning of their next game. The Lions lost that game to the Cougars, 8-2 – giving up all eight runs in the last two innings. But against the Tigard Tigers (0-3) on March 18, St. Helens scored four runs in the first, opened an 8-1 lead and held on for a 10-6 win. The win was somewhat unusual for St. Helens coach Jeff Edwards, whose older brother Gary is the head coach at Tigard. Early on, the Lions made sure their coach would hold family bragging rights for at least a year. “The key probably was opening the game the way we did,” Edwards said. Maintaining the family theme of the evening, sisters Sue and Michelle Sass had the first two base hits of the evening. After a passed ball moved them into scoring po-
Nice guys are said to finish last, but on March 12 a nice guy’s team finished first. St. Helens High School boys tennis coach Don Courtain agreed to contest only eight of the nine matches scheduled to be played against Sandy – and decline a forfeit – because the Pioneers didn’t have a full roster. The two teams ended up tied with four wins apiece, but St. Helens won one more set than Sandy to take the tiebreaker. On March 15, no tiebreaker was necessary for St. Helens as the Lions rolled to an 8-1 win over the Parkrose Broncos. Against the Pioneers, Lion senior Caleb Johnstun won the No. 1 singles match in straight sets, defeating Aidan Wenzel 6-4, 6-2. That turned out to be the Lions’ only win in singles action. St. Helens was able to gut out three wins in doubles matches. The Boynton twins, freshmen Miles and Jarrett, took a 6-2, 6-1 win in the No. 2 doubles slot. Both the No. 3 and No. 4 doubles matches were more closely contested. Shane Cooke and Alex Rose won the No. 3 spot in
three sets, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. Gage Degraffenreid and Jose Silva won a very tight match, 7-6, 7-5. St. Helens swept the singles matches in straight sets against Parkrose. The Lions kept things close in the doubles matches, winning four of the five matches in three sets. Two of those sets involved tiebreakers at some point.

Back-to-back walks loaded the bases for sophomore Courtney Anderson, who ripped a two-run double. “That was key, getting out of the gate, getting a four-run lead.

team from Seaside shot a 77. Scappoose coach Chris Downie said Maloney and Revis had two specific aspects of their game clicking. “They were both striking the ball really well off the tee and their putting was outstanding,” Downie said. Scappoose’s second team finished fifth, one spot behind Astoria’s No. 1 team. That team – Molly Landin and Lexi Schlosser – was dealt a handicap midway through the round. “Our second team did really well considering that Landin left the course after the 13th hole due to illness. Schlosser carried her own score (not scramble) the rest of the way and almost squeaked out fourth,” Downie said. The Indians also had a JV team entered in but they did not keep score. Downie said they have shown improvement each week of the season. Next up for Scappoose is an April 8 match at Tillamook. The team travels to Gearhart the following day. Scappoose also competed at The Dalles last week. Read about that on Page A16. – Kyle Boggs

Tribe having trouble at the plate Games coming down to the wire Entering the season, Scappoose head baseball coach Robert Medley said it would take about nine or 10 games before he had a good feel for where his team was. He’s stuck to that plan through the first three games, biding his time and seeing who can play which positions. The results haven’t been great – three straight losses – but Medley realizes this is a young team with a lot of inexperienced players on it. He predicted he would use
five different lineups in the first five games and hope to have settled on one for good once April rolls around. The lineup showed a little progress in its March 18 game against Central (4-0). Over the course of the first two games, Scappoose hadn’t yet scored a run. The Indians were able to push one across against the Panthers in a 10-1 defeat. Against Valley Catholic (10) on March 13, Scappoose fell victim to a perfect game. The Valiants’ Carter Buuck
didn’t let an Indian on base during a 10-0 VCHS win that was shortened to six innings by the 10-run mercy rule. Scappoose’s season started with a 4-0 loss to La Salle (22) on March 12. A March 15 game against Philomath (1-1) was rained out and rescheduled for April 6 at noon. Scappoose played at North Marion (2-0) on March 19. The Indians head east for the Treasure Valley Invitational March 22-23.

If you like edge-of-the-seat, it’s not-over-’til-it’s-over, nailbiting excitement, then the softball field at Scappoose High School is the place for you. The Indians (0-3) have yet to find their way into the win column through three games but they’ve managed to make all three very interesting. After Scappoose’s 3-1 season-opening loss to Gladstone (a story appeared in The Chronicle on March 13), the Indians have found themselves in back-to-back one-run games. On March 12, Scappoose
headed up Highway 30 to Rainier to take on the Columbians (3-0). Rainier struck first. Geneva Clarke singled and scored on an RBI from Jessica Gibson. The Tribe answered in the bottom of the sixth. With one out, Jessie Dykes got aboard with a single. Cassidy Hoglund followed with another senior. After a flyout, Avery Jones singled to score Dykes. The Tribe was still threatening with runners at second and third with two outs, but a strikeout ended the inning. The Indians went down 1-2-3 in the top of the seventh inning, leaving the game tied 1-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Rainier lead-
off hitter Kaylea Knox ripped a game-winning home run. On March 15, Scappoose found itself in another close, low-scoring affair. This time the Indians came out on the wrong end of a 1-0 game against the La Salle Falcons (1-1). Scappoose will look to get on track with a pair of home games this week.

key individuals, but overall we were pleased with the effort of both teams,” Harley said. He expects to have several of those athletes back for the next meet, which will be on March 21 in Sweet Home. “Next week we will see better competition and get
more athletes involved so we should be able to get a good look at most of our team. We will still have some kids missing until after spring break, but I know the kids who didn’t compete yesterday are quite excited to get going with their season,” Harley said.

Senior Nathan Reed, Denakis and junior Corey West finished second, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the discus. “Pretty good for this early,” Tinkle said. On the track, top-three finishes were harder to come by. Junior Thomas Hughes finished second in both hurdles races. He ran the 110meter high hurdles in 16.42 seconds and the 300-meter intermediates in 43.14. Junior Alyna Habel had a good showing in the girls hurdles. She was third in the high hurdles with a time of 18.28 and fourth in the 300 hurdles with a time of 52.62. Junior Patience Marshall clocked a 2:36 in the 800 to finish third and sophomore Sydney Nett was fourth in the 400 with a time of 1:08 for top running honors among the SHHS girls. The boys fared well in the 3,000, where senior David Sumsion, junior Tanner Boyle and sophomore Fuller Worman finished fourth, fifth and sixth. “All things considered, it was a great day,” Tinkle said.

St. Helens has tough start Lions are 4th at The Dalles After a 17-4 loss to Reynolds (2-1) on March 18, St. Helens High School baseball coach Jeff Timmons was both frustrated and optimistic at the same time. He was frustrated because of the four errors committed and 17 runs – and three home runs – given up. He was encouraged because his team swung the bat better in the loss than it had in its previous two outings. “We’ve just got to put it all together. The first two games we played good defense and couldn’t hit. Tonight we hit – we sprayed the ball all over the field – but we couldn’t field,� Timmons said. After recording just two hits in both of their first games, the Lions put together eight base hits against the Reynolds Raiders. Seniors Wyatt Mosley and Jake Ramiskey and junior Brennan Norton had two hits apiece. Timmons said he was exciited about the way his hitters took the ball to right field against a left-handed pitcher. He also pointed to the situational hitting of Noah Weitzel as a positive. After Norton hit a leadoff double in the fourth inning, Weitzel grounded out to the right side to move Norton to third with one out. Unfortunately for St. Helens, Norton ended up stranded at third. As a team, the Lions mustered just two hits in a season-

opening loss to Beaverton (11). Beaverton won 5-0 on March 12. St. Helens senior starting pitcher Max Mood recorded three strikeouts in three innings of work and allowed only four hits but was saddled with the loss. The next night it was sophomore Bryce Sanford taking a loss despite surrendering only four base hits. He allowed four runs in three innings of work as the Crimson Tide took a 9-1 win over the Lions. St. Helens played at Southridge (1-1) on March 19. The Lions host the Gresham Gophers (1-2) at 4 p.m. on March 20 and then go to a tournament in Forest Grove March 25-27. – Kyle Boggs

Lions rough up the Broncos BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
After having play suspended before the completion of their season-opening match, the St. Helens Lions dominated their first full match of the season on March 15. The Lions beat the Broncos 9-0, dropping only one set the entire match. On March 12, St. Helens’ match against Sandy was called because of darkness. The Pioneers were ahead 4-2 when it was called with three matches still in progress. The match will be finished when Sandy visits St. Helens in April. “We are still in this match if we can pull out the remaining three matches with wins,� said coach Mike Gregor. One of those matches lasted two hours and 40 minutes. Gregor credited the
team’s conditioning for keeping that match competitive. Sandy wound up winning the No. 4 doubles match 7-6 (86), 4-6, 6-7 (7-5). “Our girls weren’t fatigued after the match, they just couldn’t get the shots they needed to claim victory. They certainly had their chances,� Gregor said. Of the matches still to be completed, St. Helens leads in two. The doubles teams of Hanna Opdahl and Lexi Normine, and Amanda Pardue and Justice Krickeberg both have the edge over their opponents. The Lions’ No. 1 singles player, Haley Mann-Miller, trails 6-2, 3-0. Against Parkrose, MannMiller manhandled the player Gregor felt would contend for a league title this season. She won her match 6-1, 6-0. “We felt going into the season that she would be one of the top singles players, but
Haley dominated the match from start to finish,� Gregor said. All of the other Lions except the No. 5 doubles team won in straight sets. “Everyone played fantastic at this match. We gave up one set at No. 5 doubles for the whole match (and it was so close),� Gregor said. “Against a Parkrose team that we usually play very tight, this one was all Lions.� St. Helens played Rex Putnam at home on March 19 and the Lions are at home on March 21 against the Milwaukie Mustangs.

St. Helens finished fourth out of seven teams in competition at The Dalles Country Club on March 12. The Lions were led by junior McKenzie Schull, who finished third out of 41 individuals with an 18-hole showing of 88. Schull was one shot out of second place. Her score led the Lions’ to a team total of 494. Pendleton finished first with a score of 410. Scappoose was sixth with a score of 521. The Indians were led by sophomore Syrina Revis, who shot a 120. “The girls played well for their first tournament of the season,� said Scappoose coach Chris Downie. “All of our returning players did better than they did last year at The Dalles and our new players did really well for their first varsity round.� Lions 5th in NWOC match St. Helens hosted a Northwest Oregon Conference match at St. Helens Golf Course on March 18. The Lions finished fifth out of the five teams in competition at the meet. (Parkrose, Milwaukie and Rex Putnam do not have girls golf teams.) Liberty won the match with a score of 209 using an adjusted stableford scoring system. Schull led St. Helens with 48 points to finish fifth individually. St. Helens coach Jen Johnston said Schull didn’t meet the expectations she had set for herself. “She was probably feel-

ing pressure after placing in the top three at The Dalles Invitational last Tuesday,� Johnston said. Junior Shelby Edwards finished eighth overall with a score of 37 points. “She can hit the ball a mile off the tee, right down the middle, but tacked on strokes on and around the
greens,� Johnston said. “Once we get more practice in there, I expect to see her scores easily improve by 10 strokes.� Liberty had the top three individual placewinners, with scores of 72, 65 and 52 points. St. Helens plays next at Glendoveer on April 2.

SHHS finishes in 4th place Sophomore Toby Carlson fired a 38 on the back nine in his first varsity match for the St. Helens Lions and the squad finished one stroke out of third place during a March 18 NWOC match at Heron Lakes.
After a tough front nine, Carlson played the final seven holes at even par. He finished with an 87. Michael Hewlett led the Lions, as all five players on the team shot in the 80s. Hewlett’s 84 was the low score. Eric
Aldridge and Jacob Roxey both shot 86s and Nathan Hunter had an 89. Wilsonville won with a 319. St. Helens’ score was 343, one back of Liberty. St. Helens’ next match is at Glendoveer on April 1.

ranked No. 1 in the 6A Power Rankings at this early juncture in the season. A walk, two straight errors, a sacrifice and a hit led to the four-run fifth. Edwards said the sixth inning was the same story. “We had a couple hits, some errors and we threw the ball around a little bit. You can’t do that against good teams,� he said. The Lions scored both of their runs in the first inning. Junior Stevie Strawn and
Michelle Sass both singled and were driven in by Leal. “She’s hitting the ball hard right now,� Edwards said about Leal. Next on the schedule for St. Helens is a 4:30 p.m. home game on March 21 against Newberg (1-1). The Lions will then head to Medford for a tournament March 25-26. St. Helens is scheduled to play Mazama (2-0), South Eugene (0-2), Marist (1-2) and North Valley (0-3) at the North Medford Tournament.
