St. Helens school board passes new weapons ban BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Following a lengthy discussion in front of a standing room only audience, the St. Helens School District passed a new board policy – Policy GBJ – at its March 20 meeting prohibiting district employees, contractors and their employees, and volunteers from bringing weapons on to school grounds. The new policy was passed with board members Matt Freeman, Alan King and Nathan Helwig voting in favor of the policy and board members Marshall Porter and Ray Biggs opposed. As is happening across the country, much of the debate about the new policy centered on Second Amendment rights. According to the newly passed policy, “Employees, district contractors and/or their employees and district volunteers shall not possess a dangerous or deadly weapon or firearm on district property or at school-sponsored events. This prohibition includes those who may otherwise be permitted by law to carry such weapons.” However, the district superintendent may authorize other individuals to carry weapons on school grounds and may determine if special conditions or procedures are needed before providing that authorization. “Police GBJ has 17 lines that led to very lively discussion,” said Superintendent Mark Davalos of the school board’s prior discussion. Davalos further explained some of the limitations and exemptions included in the policy language. See BAN, Page A4

Youth sports rifle raffle sparks controversy MORE ONLINE

BY SHARI PHIEL and KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — The ongoing debate over gun control turned its eye to St. Helens recently after some parents expressed concerns about a fundraiser raffle for the St. Helens Girls Softball League. The raffle was for an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, valued at approximately $1,200, with two 30-round magazines and included payment for the required background check. At the heart of the debate were two clearly defined issues; the first being the association between youth sports and guns and the second being the process used by league president Devin Degraffenreid to approve the raffle. The AR-15 was classified as an assault weapon by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and was included in the recently shelved assault weapons ban. A letter sent to several area media outlets and signed as Concerned Parents and Citizens of St. Helens said, “We have tons of concerned parents and citizens, pro gun people included, that feel that this type of raffle is unacceptable with regards to being linked to a youth sports organization.” Others said they were concerned the decision to raffle off the rifle was made by only one board member and did not involve the rest of the board or parents. But not everyone was opposed to the raffle. The 330 tickets available, which went on sale on March 18, sold out in just days. A community meeting was quickly scheduled for Thursday, March 21 to allow concerned parents, players and coaches an opportunity to voice their concerns. Some of the parents attending the meeting said they were planning on removing their children from the league and would look at possibly moving them to Scappoose. Parent Betty Bundy, who previous-

ly served on the board and has been an umpire, said during the meeting, “I personally am not anti gun… the deci-

sion was made without any regard to all of the board members, the parents or community input.”

Degraffenreid said he realized there might be some controversy but thought the benefit to the group would outweigh that. “I stepped up in a crisis. The league was about to get started and the presiding president stepped down right as the season started up… your board has the best interests at heart,” Degraffenreid said. “The bottom line is we are all here because we care. I think that’s what needs to be focused on.” Raffle winner Allen Hays, who lives in Skyline and owns a business in Hillsboro, learned of the raffle from an employee from St. Helens. He spent $100 for 12 tickets. “I saw an opportunity to help out a bunch of young kids. The fields are a mess. You gotta’ help with money or volunteering. In this case, it was money,” Hays said. Hays, an avid hunter and supporter of the National Rifle Association, said he felt “lucky” to be the winner and plans to use the gun to hunt “varmints,” specifically coyotes. “I thought it got blown way out of proportion,” said Hays. “I think a lot of people probably wanted to win the gun, but a lot of people probably also just wanted to help the kids. Kids are really the most important part in this. Unfortunately sometimes it gets caught up in adults being adults.” A second rifle is planned to be raffled off, this time through the Support St. Helens Softball Facebook page, rather than through the girls softball league. For the second raffle, 500 tickets will be sold and will go on sale during a kick-off for the raffle at Skinny’s Texaco on Columbia River Highway in St. Helens on March 30.

Crash on Highway 30 causes gas leak A husband and wife were uninjured when their vehicle left the roadway and crashed into a natural gas feeder line off of Highway 30 near Columbia City the evening of March 21. OSP Senior Trooper Jeromy Hasencamp said a 2011 Toyota Corolla driven by Sebastian Dudek, 40, of Rainier was headed west on Highway 30 when it the left the road near milepost 32 and crashed into the gas feeder line, which belongs to Northwest Natural Gas. “We had a significant gas leak caused by a single vehicle that veered off the road at about [milepost] 32 across from Dyno Nobel in Deer Island. The vehicle hit a natural gas valve assembly

on the east side of Highway 30 and caused a large, high-pressure leak,” said Columbia River Fire & Rescue Chief Jay Tappan. CRF&R crews were called to the scene just after 6 p.m. Also responding were personnel from Scappoose Rural Fire District. “No one was injured in the crash. It mainly became a traffic and law enforcement scene once we determined the gas blow-off was not going to cause a fire or environmental issue,” said Tappan. Officials learned during the course of their investigation that Dudek, along with his wife, Ashley Dudek, 29, also of Rainier, who was seated in the right front passenger seat, had been verbally

arguing for several minutes prior to the accident. Reportedly, Ashley Dudek grabbed the car’s steering wheel, which caused her husband to lose control of the vehicle, resulting in the collision. The highway was closed for about three Ashley Dudek hours; there was no detour route available in the immediate area. “No structures were threatened and the Dyno Nobel plant was not affected,” said Tappan.

Oregon Department of Transportation personnel were also called in to help and NW Natural responded to stop the leak and restore its system. Following OSP’s investigation into the accident, Sebastian Dudek was cited for reckless driving and Ashley Dudek was arrested and charged with recklessly endangering another person. Residents in the nearby area were without natural gas until NW Natural Gas crews could repair the damage. Initial estimates placed the damage to the natural gas feeder line at roughly $20,000. NW Natural Gas crews worked throughout the night to repair the feeder line.

for Scappoose, St. Helens school districts BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Both the St. Helens and Scappoose school districts are accepting applications for open enrollment, but time is running out. The Scappoose School District board voted at its Feb. 11 meeting to all 20 open enrollment slots into the district. Open enrollment began March 1 and ends April 1. “It’s students who are not residents of the district. There are always some parents who request hardships and they have to go through a process where they seek permission from the residential superintendent to go to another school district,” said Scappoose Superintendent Stephen Jupe. Under House Bill 3681, Oregon school

districts have the option to participate in accepting non-district resident students through an open enrollment process in accordance with that bill. School districts typically will announce on March 1 the number of students it will accept for the next school Stephen Jupe year; April 1 is the deadline for students to seek consent from the district; and May 1 is the deadline for receiving district to provide written notice of consent of transfer to district of residence.

9-1-1 operating fund renewal on ballot The Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District board of directors has placed a request to renew the 9-1-1 operating fund on the May 21 ballot. The proposed operating levy rate will be the same rate as it is today (29 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value), which is two cents less than the 9-1-1 Operating Levy approved by voters in 1998. The proposed renewal would continue the 29-cent rate for the next five years, bringing the rate to 15 years with no change. The 9-1-1 Operating Fund is due for renewal as the current operations funding expires next year. In order to maintain continuity and quality of service, the district board recognized the time to renew the operating fund was now. The district’s citizen board of directors voted unanimously to place the request on the May ballot. Vernonia resident and board president Kathy Denckla said, “This is simply a renewal of the Operating Funding. We are not requesting new taxes. The renewal of the funding will maintain this essential and reliable service to everyone in Columbia County.” Denckla adds, “The district has been efficient while improving services, and continues to seek alternative funding for needed technical system improvements. As a result, the rate will continue to stay the same, which is slightly less than the amount voters approved in 1998.” Officials say the 9-1-1 district has accomplished its promise to improve essential equipment while at the same time increasing reliability and

service. The number of calls to the district continues to be about 220 per day. Construction of the county-wide communications system has been completed and is being used to enhance the efficiency of first responders. “District 9-1-1 dispatchers handled more than 80,000 phone calls last year,” said District Executive Director Jeanine Dilley. “We successfully connect 16 different emergency service agencies with people who need their help. 9-1-1 is a vital link for the safety and livability of our communities.” Since the 9-1-1 district board approved the proposed measure; individuals, public safety, other organizations and local governments have begun endorsing the five-year renewal. A separate campaign committee called the “Renew Columbia 9-1-1 Committee” has been formed for the May 2013 election, with Rob Anderson of Scappoose serving as Chair. The Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District Operating Fund supports all ongoing functions of the 9-1-1 call center, including 24-hour staffing, training and coordination with local and state emergency operations. The five-year renewal will maintain the level of service citizens throughout Columbia County now receive. For more information on the levy renewal or the Columbia 9-1-1 Communications District, contact Jeanine Dilley, district executive director, at 503-397-7255, ext. 2223, e-mail jdilley@columbia911. com, or go to Columbia911. com.

Teevin Brothers project up for public comment The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is accepting public comments on a proposed project for Teevin Brothers Land and Timber Company on the Columbia River in Rainier. Comments on the described work should be sent to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Attn: Michael LaDouceur, P.O. Box 2946, Portland, OR 97208-2946. Comments must be received by April 18. The project involves constructing a sheet pile dock with a 125-foot face. Existing riprap will be removed from the area where the sheet pile will be installed and stockpiled on site for later placement or used on other projects. Approximately 1,500 square feet of riprap will be placed by excavating the existing substrate to a depth of approximately three feet, roughly four feet from the face of the sheet pile wall for scour protection. Over 11,000 square feet of in-water structure will be constructed with 7,500 cubic yards of fill. In-water work is proposed to begin Oct. 1, 2013, and will be completed by Feb. 1, 2014. A new stormwater outfall to the Columbia River will also be constructed. The dock will be graded to collect stormwater on land to be

treated prior to discharge into the Columbia River. Teevin Bros. has proposed that .26 acre of created shallow water habitat on Dibblee Point, completed in February, serve as compensatory mitigation. The area is 1.75 miles downriver of the project site. The purpose of the project is to increase efficiency to meet capacity demands and decrease truck traffic by 7,000 trips annually. Additional information may be obtained from Michael LaDouceur, project manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at 503-808-4337or by e-mail at Michael.A.Ladouceur@ usace.army.mil. Anyone may request in writing within the comment period specified that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public hearings shall state with particularity the reasons for holding a public hearing. Preliminary information about the project has shown the described activity may affect an endangered or threatened species or its critical habitat. Consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of will be initiated. A permit for the proposed activity will not be issued until the consultation process is completed.

BAN: weapons rule has precedence From PAGE A1

“The policy GBJ is simple in origin and clear in its purpose … board members are elected officials and do not fall under the volunteer category of this rule, as long as they are in their board positions at the time. This policy does not apply to parents, this is about the district’s employees. Law enforcement officials are exempt from the policy,” he said. Davalos, who ultimately supported approval of the policy, also provided examples of similar policies passed by other school districts in Oregon, most notably the Rainier School District, which just recently put a similar policy into place. “I’m hoping that everybody in this room is concerned about kids’ safety. I’m wondering if there isn’t a fear of the unknown,” said board member Ray Biggs. “To me it’s the Second Amendment and the Second Amendment is just one

sentence: everybody shall have the right to bear arms and that right should not be infringed. If we’re going to infringe on the Second Amendment, what’s to keep the government or any entity from infringing on the First Amendment?” Board member Alan King said the Oregon Court of Appeals has already upheld a ruling allowing employers to restrict employees from carrying weapons onto employer property. “To conceive of allowing somebody in the building that has not had the equivalent of what a School Resource Officer had as far as training and psychological testing… that’s a degree of training and accepting liability our insurance company is going to notice,” said King. Other language in the new policy requires authorized individuals to report their possession of a firearm to the principal or school official in charge. The following definitions were also included:

“Dangerous weapon” - any weapon, device, instrument, material or substance, which under the circumstances in which it is used, attempted to be used or threatened to be used is readily capable of causing death or serious physical injury; “Deadly weapon” - any instrument, article or substance specifically designed for and presently capable of causing death or serious physical injury; “Firearm” - any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive, frame or receiver of any such weapon, any firearm silencer or any other destructive device including any explosive, incendiary or poisonous gas. Weapons under the control of law enforcement personnel are permitted. For more information on this, or any, school board policy, go to www.sthelens.k12. or.us, and select school board from the navigation links.

VOTE: open positions have multiple candidates From PAGE A1 county’s other school districts, the St. Helens School District board has multiple candidates for each open board position. Kellie Smith, Matt Freeman and Charles (Chuck) Briggs will vie for Position 1; Shanon Kline, Jeff Howell and Traci Brumbles are running for Position 3; and Alan King, Gordon Jarman and Melissa Dueck will vie for Position 4. Matt Freeman and Alan King both currently hold seats on the board. The Vernonia School District has four seats open but only three candidates, all of whom currently hold seats on the board. James Krahn is running for Position 1; Ernie Smith is running for Position 4; Car Levenseller is running for Position 5 but no candidate filed for Position 6. One race likely to draw lots of attention this election cycle is the race for Port of St. Helens commissioner. The current commission came under fire with the announcement that the port was looking to lease land to two separate coal export projects, Ambre Energy and Kinder Morgan. Current commissioner Terry Luttrell will face off against Michael Clarke for Position 4, while Chris Iverson will run for another term, filling Position 5.

New Columbia County Medicare help line A new local Medicare help line is available in Columbia County. Seniors and others with Medicare can call 971-225-3838 (toll free) to contact a Columbia County Senior Health Insurance Benefits Assistance volunteer. Volunteers, who are trained by the state to aid people with Medicare issues, are unbiased, certified and provide free help. Those on Medicare, or who are about to become eligible, may have questions such as: What is the best choice for your situation if you’re new to Medicare or how do you sort through the numerous advertising brochures? Are you already on Medicare and falling into the “donut hole” or coverage gap for

prescription drugs? Wondering how to pay for your prescriptions? Currently on Medicare but having problems with getting your insurance company to pay its share? All of these questions, and many others, are just what SHIBA volunteers can assist with. Call the toll free number and leave a message for a SHIBA volunteer. The new SHIBA phone line uses Google Voice and is only for Columbia County residents. Calls are referred in rotation to the local volunteers who will get back to you. For more information about the program, call Pat Zimmerman at 503-543-3485 or send an email to patz4commish@gmail. com.

“If there’s a good reason the student needs to [change districts], I usually won’t get in the way,” said Jupe. Under the current law, the districts must state the number of slots available and then parents get to apply for those slots. As long as there are more slots than applicants, the process remains straightforward. “If there are more parents/ students then there are spots, then there is a lottery to see who gets those places,” added Jupe. Currently, the Scappoose School District has six to eight students already under the hardship exception, which must be renewed each year. Under the current program, those students will be able to apply for open enrollment, which eliminates the need to renew each year. “Those students would get to convert to a permanent

status and wouldn’t have to apply for hardships each year,” Jupe said. “Hardships are only for a year and there’s always a chance the superintendent may say no.” In comparison, the St. Helens School District will accept 15 students from outside of its district. Along with its main school campuses, students will also be accepted for the Columbia County Education Campus and Columbia River Youth Corps. Students looking to transfer out of the St. Helens School District or Scappoose School District should contact the district they are interested in attending. The open enrollment application process to transfer out of a resident district is processed by the receiving district. Under the open enrollment option, districts are only responsible for transportation of students within their district boundary. Transporta-

tion for students transferring outside of their residential district is the responsibility of the student/parent. While some might want to limit enrollment to help keep class sizes down, Jupe said it makes financial sense to allow students from other districts. Each student represents about $6,000 in the district’s budget. “You don’t want to lose them, and actually you’d like to gain them,” he said. “It’s a balancing act.” Although both districts have already received enrollment applications, some of those from teachers outside the district wanting to bring their children to the area, there are spaces still available.

The Chronicle

Letters Peace and happiness Years ago we would go to the quick mart in Scappoose to present Christianity to students gathering there before school. It was a tough crowd. One young man found us particularly offensive. Bobby would crank up his ghetto blaster every morning, entertaining us from his library of Twisted Sister or Iron Maiden. It made dialogue challenging but not impossible. One morning Bobby gathered a small crowd and was waiting for us. He lit a Bible on fire. As it burned he emphatically cursed me. He told us he’d sit under a pentagram and call on the devil against our halting efforts. There was an odd but familiar persuasive fervor in his presentation. After everyone left for class, I picked up the Bible he’d thrown. It was a gift. Passages were underlined. It became clear. Life had disappointed him and he was striking back. I often wonder what happened to that young man. If you’ve been imprinted by bitterness, either yours or

This Easter bless your great aunt or your grandfather, even posthumously, and attend one of many fine programs across our country brought to you with the express purpose of describing, as one screen writer called it, “The Greatest Story Ever Told.” Perhaps peace and happiness will calm your life as it did mine. Wayne Mayo, Scappoose Board policy Regarding the school board ban on guns on district property, the board should read the Oregon ORS 166.170 before passing rules that are counter to state law which states: “It is unlawful to possess a firearm loaded or unloaded in a public building.” Public building means a hospital, capitol building, a public or private school, college or university.

Dick Magnuson, Scappoose Poor decision After assault weapons were used to kill innocent children in Newtown and Colorado, a girls softball association chooses to bring one more such weapon into our community?

Food for Thought

Movie time! Two thumbs up for ‘A Place at the Table’ BY VALERIE WALKER Columbia Pacific Food Bank

I’m not the most up-todate person. I don’t know who Justin Bieber is dating, if Oregon is progressing in the NCAA basketball Final Four tournament, or what strife is happening in the Middle East. What I DO keep up on is which movies are coming out. I love movies and TV shows. I will forsake all else and do marathon viewings of my favorite shows. I have spent whole weekends watching episode after episode of “Downton Abbey,” “Game of Thrones,” “Mad Men,” or “Breaking Bad” (just to name a few). But I have been very disappointed by what is showing up on the silver screen. Yeah, there are one or two movies

that have come out worth my $9, but they are few and far apart. Sometimes my favorite part of movies is the previews before the feature. I love Valerie Walker movie trailers so much that one of my hobbies is to go on to a website that has previews of all the new movies coming out and just watch whatever looks good one after another. Usually there is at least a couple that I take note of and eagerly anticipate, but it hasn’t been happening for a while. There are no good stories coming out of Hollywood anymore! Everything

is so predictable and predictable is boring, and boring is boring. You know what isn’t boring? Real life! Lucky for me there is a whole genre of movies made about real life that are a solution to my media malaise: documentaries. I know, I know, that sounds super slow, dry, and possibly has subtitles, but the right ones have all the ingredients to the best emotional dramas, pee-your-pants comedies, gripping thrillers, political intrigues, and testosterone pumping action flicks. The villains and heroes in documentaries are everywhere and are regular people and could be you or I. The subjects are on the most remarkable and fascinating topics or people and I not only get entertained but I also learn something. Last weekend I found

myself fresh out of new episodes of my favorite TV shows and not having the energy to find a new favorite. It just so happened that fate had dropped an email in my inbox earlier in the week about a new movie on a topic near and dear to my heart premiering that weekend in Portland. Friday night I drove myself to the Hollywood theater and bought my tickets to see “A Place at the Table,” a well-made documentary (subtitle-free) about hunger in the United States. I have long tried to explain the existence of hunger in the U.S.A. and the necessity of my work at the food bank to friends and family, but am left feeling like I hadn’t quite explained it well. As I watched this film I felt the producers had nailed it spot on and really touched on the important aspects of

the whats, whys, hows, and whos of hunger in America. This isn’t the first time a film has been made on major food issues. Other great sources of information on the food issues are movies like “Fresh,” “Food Inc.,” “My Father’s Garden,” “The Vanishing of the Bees,” “Dive!,” “The Botany of Desire,” “Forks Over Knives” and many more. If TV is more your style, PBS made a series of shows about innovators around the country called “Food Forward.” British superstar chef Jamie Oliver had a few seasons of “Food Revolution” with the goal of showing the feasibility and challenges of serving healthy food in schools. And there are a scads of well-written books like “Eating Animals,” “The Omnivore’s Dilemma,” and “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food

Life,” which gets you thinking about what you’re putting in your mouth, what it does to you and where it came from. If you’re interested in the subject of hunger, but oddly dislike the moving pictures, there is also a companion book to “A Place at the Table” available for your reading pleasure. I feel the film version of “A Place at the Table” did such a good job that I have set up viewings all of the major communities of Columbia County during the month of April so people may have an opportunity to learn about this dirty little secret we have in our country and what we can do about it. Keep your eyes peeled for more information about when and where the film is showing in your town and save a place in your calendar for it.

Commentary

Morrow Pacific Project releases statement in response to Governor’s letter The Morrow Pacific project has released the following statement in response to a letter by Governor Kitzhaber and Governor Inslee to the Council of Environmental Quality (CEQ): “We are following the direction of the Corps in regards to the permitting scope and process. The Governors’ proposal is outside the scope of federal regulation and we do not agree with the request in the letter. The Morrow Pacific project referenced the draft CEQ guidelines in the Environmental Review, which

was submitted to the Corps in August of 2012. The guidelines are one reason that we decided to quantify the localized impact of greenhouse gases. For background, we’d like to draw your attention to two recent articles: 1. ‘White House CEQ meetings on coal projects seen indicating major policy issues at stake,’ which appeared in Bloomberg BNA in February 2013. 2. ‘Army Corps not anticipating comprehensive EIS for West Coast coal terminals,’ which was published in SNL Energy on March 18, 2013.

Of particular interest are these sections from the SNL Energy story: ‘The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not conduct an intensive, all-encompassing programmatic environmental impact statement for the proposed coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest, two federal officials confirmed March 18. The decision follows months of meetings coordinated by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, according to documents obtained by SNL Energy through a Freedom of Information Act request.’ A later section addresses

but none since then. ‘CEQ regularly plays a facilitating role among agencies engaging in NEPA reviews to encourage interagency coordination, and brought together agencies to coordinate with each other on timely responses to letters on the same general topic,’ White House CEQ spokeswoman Taryn Tuss said. ‘CEQ does not direct agencies how to conduct their NEPA reviews. It is the agencies’ responsibility to implement NEPA and apply their analysis on a case by case basis, according to their individual NEPA regulations.’”

Obituaries Shirley was 58, she decided to hitch a ride on an Alaskan fish processing boat for the summer as a cook. When she wasn’t busy working, she got a chance to meet people working on other American and international boats and was given the nickname “Big Mama” from the Japanese fisherman. Perhaps her love of adventure started when, as a child, she rode her horse over the old Twin Falls-Jerome Bridge, which was the highest bridge in the world at that time sitting 476 feet over the Snake River. Her most cherished adventure was traveling to Thailand to attend the wedding of her close friend. She spent her trip visiting ancient sites, riding precariously on the back of motorbikes, and even posed for a picture with a tiger. Shirley was also one of the three founding members of the Shoestring Company Players, the local theater group founded in St. Helens in the early 1980s. She directed plays, was director of theater makeup for both the high school and community plays, and acted in several plays as well. Her favorite role was that of Eulalie MacKecknie Shinn in the musical “Music Man”,

Fort Ticonderoga awards scholarship to Rainier teacher Fort Ticonderoga, in Ticonderoga, N.Y., has announced the recipients of its teacher scholarships to attend the 18th annual War College of the Seven Years’ War from May 17-19. Among those chosen was Rainier Junior/ Senior High School history teacher Andrew Demko. Other teachers selected were Bloise Hill, of J.C. Booth Middle School, in Peachtree City, Ga.; Erica Martin, of Chittenango Middle School, in Chittenango, N. Y.; L. Gordon Roberts, of St. Joseph Central High School, in Pittsfield, Mass.; and Amy Ward-Bailey, of Randolph High School, in Randolph, Mass. “Since 2001, Fort Ticonderoga has provided 109 scholarships for teachers to attend its seminars and conferences at no cost, including

62 scholarships to attend the War College of the Seven Years’ War. Teachers from 13 states and two Canadian provinces have been awarded War College scholarships over the past 12 years,” said Beth Hill, president and CEO of Fort Ticonderoga. “These scholarships are made possible by the generous support of War College patrons and reflect Fort Ticonderoga’s commitment to its educational mission.” The War College of Seven Years’ War focuses on the North American French and Indian wars that occurred between 1754 and1763. The program brings together a panel of distinguished historians from around the country and beyond. The War College is open to the public; pre-registration is required.

The federal food program for Women, Infants and Children is crossing a few foods off the vouchered list in Oregon and adding many more. Jana Mann, WIC Program Manager, said Seneca frozen juices are off the list beginning in April, due to lack of popularity and lack of availability. Wheaties cereal will also no longer be on the list due to a lack of interest, and cereals with candy flavors or that are marketed with TV characters directly to children will not be authorized. On the list are: Cream of Rice gluten free, and Sunbelt Bakery items. Some of the changes are to help the transition to eWIC, which will end the reliance on paper vouchers. Because family benefits will be combined, two-pound cheese will be allowed, but bulk items like peanut butter, rice and beans will not be allowed. During March, WIC staff is presenting the changes to clients. April 1 is the first day grocers will honor the new lists. The state’s Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention group pulled together a dataset based on the annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey. From the data, they calculate estimates for all counties. The most recent version includes data from 2008–11. This data was released recently on HPCDP’s website at Public.Health.Oregon.gov/Pages/Home.aspx#data. The only Columbia County number highlighted as statistically significant is the overweight data; seven percent more adults are overweight in Columbia County than in Oregon, yet there isn’t much difference in the obesity rate. Here is a sampling of the new BRFSS survey data: Chronic Issue Oregon Columbia County Overweight 35.5% 42.7% Obese 24.8% 23.7% Smoker 16.3% 19.2% Asthma 9.9% 11.3% Heart Attack 3.3% 2.5% Ashley Baggett, tobacco prevention coordinator, said the Healthy Communities Coalition will look at the data when determining activities for the upcoming year.

there will still be a frost. I was recently asked about planting by the phases of the moon.

However, there is one piece of lunar lore that does have an impact on gardening. When the moon is full, considerable heat is reflected by the moon from the sun to the earth’s surface. At night, this heat can evaporate a haze or light cloud cover that may have been keeping the earth’s surface warmer at night. The cleared skies increase the potential for a frost around full moon times. Fruit tree blooms (in April) and young vegetables plants are especially vulnerable. Have protection for the vegetables ready if needed. Here are full moon dates for the next three months: March 27, April 25, and May 24.

green to complement the deep green of the foliage. Chard is very tasty as well. Leaf miners are chard’s worst problem. Manage with row covers to exclude the insect or the organic insecticide “spinosad” (read and follow all label instructions of any pesticide). • Tomato and pepper seeds can still be started indoors for transplanting 6-8 weeks later. Of course, you could buy starts at the OSU Columbia County Master Gardener™ Spring Fair scheduled for April 27 at St. Helens High School from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. • Consider painting the trunks of young trees with white latex paint to protect them from sunburn in the summer and freeze injury in the winter. Both problems often show up on the southwest side of the trees but paint the whole trunk. • Keep vegetation mowed tight around new trees to reduce the damage from field mice (more properly called “voles”). Vole numbers have been very high throughout the Wil-lamette Valley and Columbia County the last 5-6 years. Your cat can only eat so many. • Slugs will be showing up in droves soon. (FYI: a group

of snails is called a “rout;” nothing for slugs, yet. Here is your chance. Suggestions welcome.) Treat with baits. Iron phosphate baits like “Sluggo” and others are safest around pets. • Keep the hummingbird feeders full. • Enjoy the outside excitement of spring.

garden plots long time ago that anything that persists with the strength that this belief does must have some real value. And here is what I decided it did: If the almanac lunar table tells you to go out and plant beans or onions or anything else, you do it. In life, doing something versus doing nothing is almost always a better choice. For a gardener, an almanac that said “turn off the television for the month of May” would probably produce maximum positive impact.

Other garden topics • Don’t plant more garden than you can take care of. A 1,000 square foot garden after ini-tial tillage and planting will require about two hours of care of each week. Early weeding is especially important. This does not count harvesting and replanting. Start small and grow as your skills grow. • Chard is a beautiful and very productive garden vegetable. The “Rainbow” chard seed mix will give you stems of yellow, orange, red, and

BY CHIP BUBL OSU Extension Service

Frost, moonlight, sun, water and vegetables It is officially spring and for the first time in several years, it actually feels like it. South County gardeners are planting cold hardy seeds, bulbs, and transplants like Chip Bubl onions, peas, cabbage family, and others. An important marker for gardeners is the average last frost date. For the St. Helens/Scappoose area, it is about April 18. If you are in a low, frostprone area or at elevations of 500 feet or more, it would be later for you. Remember, this is an average date. That means 50 percent of the time by April 18, the last frost has already happened. But on the other side looking forward, there is still a 50percent chance the last frost hasn’t yet occurred. Still, two weeks after April 18, there is less than a 15-percent chance

Wight kept Estacada off the bases for hte most part with seven strikeouts and one walk to her record. “Renee’s pitching was dominant just as we expected how it would be,” Busch said. “You’re not going to get around on Renee. If you don’t put it down, you’re walking back to the bench.” Still a close game going into the fifth inning with a 3-1 lead, Scappoose’s Angie Ogan gave the Indians some insurance when she drove in two runs with a double. Wight, who walked, and Dawn Fouts, who singled, scored on Ogan’s hit. Scappoose had 11 hits and 13 runs Friday, but coach Busch is still concerned about scoring runs. “I think teams are going to have trouble scoring against us,” Busch said. “We’re just going to have to pick up a few (runs). I think we can score. It’s a struggle to score runs in softball.” Playing with several sophomores in the starting lineup, the season opener gave Busch a chance to see where his team stands as it prepares for the upcoming Cowapa League season. Scappoose opens its league season against defending champion St. Helens April 8 on the road.

Tribe gets bats going to pick up first win BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

After scoring a combined two runs in their first three games, the Scappoose Indians (1-4) exploded for a dozen runs on 10 hits in a 12-7 win against Cascade (2-4) on March 20. On March 22, a three-run seventh inning from the Molalla Indians (4-0) helped Molalla take a 4-2 win over Scappoose. Seven different players had hits against Cascade in a game played at Gladstone High School. The Indians were the designated home team and were led by two apiece from senior Cassidy Hoglund and juniors Sophia Hart and Lexi Courtney. The Tribe jumped on the Cougars 3-0 in the first inning. After Cascade tied the game in the top of the third, Scappoose scored twice in its half of the third, then added three more runs in the fourth. Cascade didn’t score again until the top of the seventh. By that point, Scappoose had scored 12 times. Hart, the team’s leadoff hitter, scored four of those runs. Hoglund and Courtney both connected for singles and doubles, and sophomore Avery Jones added her own double in the bottom of the sixth inning. Against Molalla, Scappoose fell behind by one run in the second inning. The score remained 1-0 Molalla until the bottom of the fourth, when Courtney connected on a 3-0 pitch with two outs and sent it flying over the wall in left field. In the top of the seventh, Molalla capitalized on a couple of Scappoose errors and a couple of base hits to take a 4-1 lead. Jones led off the bottom of the seventh by getting hit by a pitch. She then stole second and third base before freshman pitcher Kendal Bailey See TRIBE, Page A14

DANVILLE, Ill. — Myles Terry, an eighth grader at St. Helens Middle School, finished 4-3 at the 2013 National Middle School Duals March 23-24. Wrestling in the 140-pound division, Terry showed no nerves wrestling in the national championships: He pinned his first opponent. He ended the tournament with a 15-0 technical fall victory to bookend a successful weekend. “I’m really happy about how I wrestled,” Terry said. “There were a couple I should have won but you can’t dwell on them. It was an awesome trip, I met a lot of new people. It was a great experience to see how you match up with the best in the country.” As a team, Oregon finished 15th overall. Terry qualified for the national championships by winning the 140-pound division at the Oregon Middle School State Championships on March 9. Terry will continue wrestling, switching gears for the freestyle and Greco season. – Kyle Boggs

St. Helens 10-runs Amity Strawn’s blast sparks Lions BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

FOREST GROVE — The St. Helens Lions (1-3) overmatched the Amity Warriors (1-4) on March 25 in the opening round of the Forest Grove Tournament. The Lions jumped on the Warriors for eight runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 11-1 lead, then added another run in the sixth for a 12-1 victory. Jake Ramiskey led the charge. He was 4-for-5 on offense with two singles, a double and a triple. He scored three times and drove in a run. He was equally impressive in the field, making a diving catch and gunning down a baserunner at third from his position in center field. “Ramiskey was lights out today,” said St. Helens coach Jeff Timmons. The St. Helens pitchers were lights out too. Starter Bryce Sanford struck out nine batters in five innings. Tyler Stangland struck out four in two innings of relief as the two combined on a two-hitter. Stangland added three RBIs at the plate. Martin Scheer and Bryce See SHHS, Page A13

St. Helens senior Jake Ramiskey was 4-for-5 with a triple and a double against Amity on March 25.

MEDFORD — The St. Helens Lions (4-1) were one of the teams turning heads at US Cellular Field during the first day of the North Medford Spring Break Invitational on March 25. The Lions outscored their first two opponents 25-3. St. Helens beat 2012 4A state semifinalist Mazama (3-1) 16-1 in the opener and followed that with a 9-2 win over South Eugene (1-4). “The nice thing is we’re down here with some of the big dogs and we’re getting noticed a little bit,” said St. Helens coach Jeff Edwards. Junior Stevie Strawn was a big reason teams started looking the Lions’ way. With a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Mazama, Strawn stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded. She drilled a ball down the right-field line, cleaning the bases with an inside-the-park grand slam. “That seemed to energize our afternoon. It was pretty much lights out after that,” Edwards said. St. Helens followed its five-run second inning with an eight-run third. Strawn finished the game with three runs scored.

St. Helens junior Stevie Strawn’s inside-the-park grand slam sparked a 16-1 win for the Lions on March 25.

Sophomore Michelle Sass and freshman Taylor Leal both continued hot streaks at the plate. Sass was 3-for-4 with two doubles, three RBIs and two runs scored. Leal was also 3-for-4, had one double and drove in three runs. “That part of the lineup is really getting it done – the middle,” Edwards said. Sophomores Mariah

Mulcahy and Alyssa Giesbers had two hits apiece. Mulcahy pitched a five-inning one-hitter with eight strikeouts and no walks. She threw another complete game in the nightcap, striking out 11 South Eugene Axemen. Leal again drove in three runs, this time on 2-for-4 hitSee LIONS, Page A13

TENNIS

Milwaukie provides a tune-up for St. Helens ST. HELENS — Because of a small turnout of tennis players this year, Milwaukie High School is not fielding a complete boys or girls tennis team. The two abbreviated squads traveled together to St. Helens High School on March 21 to contest a few matches. On the girls side, St. Helens had the upper hand the whole way. Lexi Normine and Lauren Chambers dominated the only contested doubles match, winning 6-0, 6-0. Two of the three singles matches were similarly lopsided, as Madison Kaplan defeated her opponent 6-1, 6-0. JoCee Giroski won by a count of 6-0, 6-1. “Any of our singles players could play No. 1 for us at any given time, they are that close in ability,” said St. Helens coach Mike Gregor. “It’s a good problem to have being so deep

with our singles players.” The No. 1 singles match was the most closely contested one of the day. St. Helens’ Haley Mann-Miller split sets against her Mustang opponent, 4-6, 6-3, before the match was postponed because of rain. Gregor said Mann-Miller aggrevated a hip injury in the first set, then lost a contact lens later on in the match. Eventually someone tracked down her glasses, but she spent a portion of the first set playing with vision in only one eye. “With good sight and a little time to work out the stiff injury, Haley took the second set,” Gregor said. The boys contested only three matches. Results for those were unavailable at press time. St. Helens plays Liberty next on April 2, with the girls at home and the boys on the road.

Harley hopes that will allow the Indians to have a full squad for their next competition. Scappoose was still without several athletes who were absent from the Deedon Invitational because of a variety of reasons. “Hopefully with our next meet three weeks away, we will be at full strength at that time,” he said.

Columbia County's Angela VanHoomissen runs over a Newberg defender on March 23.

Crusaders stay undefeated SCAPPOOSE — It was a battle of two unbeaten teams on March 23 when the Columbia County Crusaders hosted Newberg. The Crusaders endured several first-half penalties and a second-half deficit to hold on for a 22-15 victory and remain undefeated. Victoria Horecky scored the first try for Columbia County just a few minutes into the match. Angela VanHoomissen’s conversion kick gave the Crusaders a 7-0 lead. After Aries Adams got

loose out wide and ran in a second try, the Crusaders were up 12-0. Newberg capitalized on a couple of penalties called on Columbia County for having hands in the ruck and scored to make it 12-5. Newberg scored the next two tries as well, opening up a 15-12 lead. Newberg got the ball down close to the try zone one more time and was threatening to score, but lost possession of the ball. Horecky picked it up and ran the ball nearly the length of the field for a Cru-

sader try. After a missed conversion, Columbia County was on top 17-15. A Newberg try was nullified by a penalty in the second half and Kayla Leatherman ran in another Columbia County try to give the Crusaders a 22-15 home victory. Columbia County’s record stands at 3-0. The Crusaders will look to improve that to 40 with a home match scheduled for April 6 against West Linn. – Kyle Boggs
