Charging station finds a home in Scappoose

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE – An electric vehicle fast-charging station was recently installed in the Fred Meyer parking lot in Scappoose, as part of the West Coast Electric Highway Project. This is the only EV station in Columbia County.

The West Coast Electric Highway is an extensive network of DC fast charging stations located every 25 to 50 miles along Interstate 5 and other major roadways on the West Coast.

Originally, two EV stations were planned for Columbia County; one in St. Helens and one in Clatskanie. But plans for both stations fell through late into negotiations. The Clatskanie station has been moved to Westport.

“The route going from the Portland metro area to Astoria is a critical link on Highway 30. We initially did have a site in St. Helens. Actually, we evaluated a number of sites in St. Helens. Our contract even got us as far as negotiating a lease agreement with the property owner,” said Art James, project director for the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Unfortunately, those negotiations broke down.

“We have to go through due diligence in order to get them permitted. In the process of that we found some underground contamination at the site,” James said. “It was really too bad because we had invested about six months into it.”

The site originally considered was at Skinny’s Texaco. Other sites considered ­­­­ See ELECTRIC, Page A4

Husband and wife convicted of drug trafficking tied to local drug trade

Jose Lizarraras-Chacon, 38, of Nayarit, Mexico, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Marco A. Hernandez to 210 months (17.5 years) in prison for heroin-trafficking and illegal reentry.

During the fall of 2011, the Portland Police Bureau received information from the St. Helens Police Department regarding a husband and wife team selling large quantities of heroin. Lizarraras-Chaco, along with his wife and co-defendant Maria GonzalezTorres, fielded phone call orders from customers for heroin. The couple would then make deliveries throughout the Portland metro area, often accompanied by their children.

Earlier in 2011, the St. Helens Police Department investigated this same couple, and that evidence was charged in the federal indictment as part of the yearlong conspiracy to distribute heroin.

“During the month of February 2011, investigators with the Columbia Enforcement Narcotics Team began investigating a Mexican drug trafficking organization selling large quantities of heroin in and around the Gresham, Multnomah County area,” said St. Helens Police Detective Sgt. Phil Edwards.

Edwards said the heroin supplied by the drug

Maria Gonzalez-Torres

trafficking organization was traced directly into the hands of local drug distribution networks in Columbia County. According to Edwards, a Columbia County source providing information to investigators admitted to the distribution of more than 47 pounds of heroin within a one-year period. The reported street value of that heroin was in excess of $1.6 million.

“Over several months investigators built their case by infiltrating the organization and developing a strategic plan designed to dismantle it,” said Edwards.

CENT is made up of investigators from the St. Helens Police Department, including Edwards, and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

The size of the drug trafficking organization led CENT to share information with the Drug Enforcement Agency and Portland Police Bureau, which helped lead to the arrest of Lizarraras-Chacon and Gonzalez-Torrez.

On Nov. 29, 2011, officers with the Portland Police Bureau’s Drugs and Vice Division arranged for a controlled purchase of heroin from the pair. GonzalezTorres answered the call, made the deal, and indicated they would be on their way to deliver shortly.

Surveillance officers observed the defendants leaving their apartment carrying a baby in a car seat and then enter one of the family’s vehicles. Gonzalez-Torres followed her husband into their vehicle, along with two other children (ages 7 and 4). Officers stopped the car as it was traveling towards the agreed-upon delivery location.

During the traffic stop, a female officer conducted a pat-down search of Gonzalez-Torres and located ­­­­ See CONVICTION, Page A4

Houlton Bakery once again serving up sweet treats

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Fans of the popular Houlton Bakery on Columbia Boulevard in St. Helens will be happy to learn the bakery will reopen later this week. While ownership of the business may have changed, some things won’t.

One of the things that won’t change is the name. New owner Max Huck has decided to keep the Houlton Bakery name.

“Our goal is to keep it as similar to how Gainor had it as possible. We want to keep the bakery; we want to continue to have lunch. We want to offer madefrom-scratch bakery items,” said Huck.

It wasn’t that long ago that Houlton Bakery owner Gainor Rikor announced she was closing the St. Helens favorite after nearly 10 years in business. Rikor closed Houlton Bakery’s doors near the end of March, but as it turned out, Huck was waiting in the wings for just the right opportunity.

County corrections office gets a facelift

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

In July of 2012, the county’s adult community corrections department was merged with the juvenile corrections department.

Not surprisingly, it took a while for both staff and clients to adjust to the change.

The corrections program is a partnership between the Oregon Department of Corrections and local community corrections and provide a cost-effective means to hold offenders accountable while assisting them through the process of changing their criminal behavior and protecting the community.

Recently, the program underwent another change. For several weeks, the offices for both programs, which are housed in the old Columbia County Courthouse and had not been updated in years, were covered

in drop cloths. Thanks to a lot of elbow grease, dedication and the support of Sherman Williams in St. Helens, the offices now have a fresh coat of paint along with a fresh outlook.

“We are doing a lot of work.

We are also doing work on our transitional housing as well, which on the other side of the jail. We’ve had them for about six and a half years but they go through a lot of wear and tear,” said Community Justice Director Walt Pesterfield during the project.

After the two divisions were merged, Pesterfield began looking for ways to make improvements.

But Pesterfield knew there would be one particular obstacle to overcome.

“The county is in dire straits with money and it has been for the last few years and I don’t think it’s all of a sudden going to be ­­­­ See REMODEL, Page A4

Conservation land purchase would protect estuary habitat The Bonneville Power Administration is proposing to fund the purchase of the 109 acre Kerry Island near the town of Clatskanie in Columbia County, Ore. The Columbia Land Trust would own and manage the land for fish and wildlife habitat conservation purposes, and BPA would receive a conservation easement to ensure that the habitat values on the property are always protected.

The funding would be provided as part of BPA’s ongoing efforts to protect and enhance fish and wildlife habitat as partial mitigation for the construction and operation of the federal dams in the Columbia River Basin. This land purchase would fulfill some of the estuary mitigation requirements outlined in the Biological Opinion that guides protection of salmon and steelhead listed under the federal Endangered Species Act. Columbia Land Trust will develop a management plan for the property and provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the plan. BPA must approve the plan before new actions occur on the property. A letter describing the proposed purchase, a map, and information about the environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act are available at www.efw.bpa.gov.

There was also over $300 in the diaper bag.

“On one of the buys we set up they brought their children,” said Edwards.

Officers conducted a search of the family’s apartment on East Burnside in Gresham and seized over $84,000 in U.S. currency stashed all over the residence. Agents also seized approximately 470 grams of heroin hidden within a diaper genie and a .45 caliber semi-automatic firearm in a hall closet.

ST. HELENS — St. Helens City Council and staff are encouraging the community to join them in recognizing the invaluable service that volunteers provide to the community during National Volunteer Week April 21-27.

Many local organizations rely on volunteers to provide the manpower needed to offer services to the community. The city would like to thank each and every volunteer for their commitment of time and resources. The dedication and sacrifice to participate as a volunteer in local charities, service organizations and other agencies creates a more livable community for everyone. Whether a volunteer gives one hour a month or 40 hours a week, many agencies depend on those generous offers of time and manpower. The city thanks all volunteers for donating their time to help improve

had not been legitimately employment for four years.

However, she said she did receive $1,100 a month in public benefits. When asked about the large amount of cash found in her apartment, she said she and her husband were saving money to build a home in Mexico.

In 2010, Lizarraras-Chaco was convicted of unlawful delivery of heroin in Clackamas County, after which he was deported to Mexico. He returned to the U. S. illegally and continued to distribute heroin before being arrested again in 2011.

Gonzalez-Torres was sentenced to five years in prison in December 2012 and will likely be deported once she is released.

great,” he said. “However, my thought was – when we merged together –­ if there is a possibility or an opportunity we need to take it.”

New paint might not seem like a big change, but Pesterfield said it could make all the difference.

“We have youth that come in here so you want a pleasant place. Just like at our homes, the aesthetics and how we keep it make a big difference on their mindset and their family’s. And for the employees, too. Yes, we care and yes, we want to make it as good as we can make it. After all, we spend a third of our lives here.”

Part of the reason Pesterfield began looking at painting the offices was because he had several clients who worked as professional house painters that had supervision and housing fees to pay.

He realized this was a good opportunity to let them work

off those fees while saving the county money as well.

“It was all volunteer.

If they didn’t want to do it they were not forced into it,” Pesterfield said. “It was a big win-win. For them, they got to work off their fines.

They’re professional painters and you can see they’ve done a fantastic job.”

Pesterfield contacted John Chae, store manager for the new Sherman Williams store in St. Helens and found there was a program available that would let him purchase the paint supplies at a discount.

Remarkably, the total cost for the mini-remodeling job was around $400.

“One of our painters said the bid for this would have been between $4,000–$5,000.

It’s a great saving to the county, to the taxpayers, to the citizens,” he said. “And it’s good for the youth because they’re coming into a professional environment. They know it’s a program people care about.”

ies for a long time,” said Huck. “I’ve been out of college for quite a while, but even when I was in college I had done a business plan on bakeries.”

He said his own love of baked goods just adds to his passion for the business.

When it comes to managing the business and baking all of those delicious treats found in the pastry case, Huck turned to family member Anne Bauer.

Bauer has been a pastry chef for over 30 years and most recently worked in northern Idaho.

“I went to culinary school and worked in everything from mom-and-pop restaurants all the way up to fine dining,” said Bauer, adding she also worked as a pastry chef at Black Rock Country Club and Schweitzer Mountain Resort, both in Idaho.

“It’s something I love doing,” said Bauer. “Up in Sandpoint I made similar products and serviced the coffee huts around there.”

Bauer said Huck called her on a Wednesday to ask if she would be interested in running the bakery. Within days, she was in St. Helens to check out the business and meet with Gainor. The fol-

lowing day she turned in her resignation letter.

“The reason I thought of Anne was not only because of her experience – her passion for baking is second to none – but she is also extremely friendly. A lot of the customers will really enjoy coming here,” said Huck.

Bauer and Huck said they plan to continue Houlton Bakery’s practice of using local products, such as honey and in-season fruits.

“Our goal is to seek out local farmers and local products. We want to offer healthy and nutritious choices – healthy salads and wraps. We’ll make home-

made soups every day. I make a killer clam chowder I want everyone to try,” said Bauer.

Along with offering fresh baked bread, pastries, cookies and other goodies, Bauer will also add a cake decorating service later on.

Houlton Bakery, at 2155 Columbia Blvd.,will reopen on April 12. The shop will be open Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. and closed on Sundays.

Stop by for a cup of coffee and a breakfast pastry on your way to work, stay for lunch or pick up a loaf of fresh baked bread for dinner.

DEER ISLAND — Columbia River People’s Utility District is warning customers to be wary of giving information out over the telephone because of a phone scam targeting utility customers in the area.

PUD customers have reported receiving calls threatening to disconnect power if payment isn’t made immediately over the phone via credit card, or by purchasing a pre-paid credit card and calling back with the code. The callers may identify themselves as representatives of PGE, PG&E, or the PUD. “If you have any doubts about a caller’s identity, don’t give them any information,” said PUD Accounting and Customer Service Manager Sheila Duehring.

“The safest thing to do is to hang up and then call our office at 503-397-0590.”

Customers who receive suspicious phone calls are

During National Volunteer Week, the city will use its Facebook page to feature different community volunteers who are making a difference in St. Helens.

Visit Facebook.com/CityofStHelens to learn about the city’s local volunteers and the organizations they help.

If you know of someone who goes above and beyond as a volunteer in the community, share their story on the City’s Facebook page.

National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and has grown exponentially each subsequent year. The week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It is about demonstrating to the nation that by working together, communities have the fortitude to meet challenges and accomplish goals.

The Oregon Department of Transportation is working with California-based AeroVironment to provide, install and maintain the 480-volt fast-

charging stations.

The $2-million project is funded by a U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER II (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant, and is intended to connect electric vehicle drivers in the Willamette Valley to the North Oregon coast.

The TIGER II EV Corridor Connectivity project is part of a larger push to promote EV use nationwide.

James said similar contract issues developed during the Clatskanie negotiations.

“It’s odd but each one of these locations turned out to be its own drama. We originally had Clatskanie initially selected and we were months into the negotiations with the PUD there for a location. In the 11th hour, their board decided they were going decline so now we’re looking for a site in Westport,” he said.

According to Columbia River PUD, the charging station at the Scappoose Fred Meyer is not powered up yet but is expected to go online soon.

aller ey e d at ot maand and ll. vto Port doesn’t consider costs The Port of St. Helg y- ens needs new ideas and somebody willing to lead, d not follow. Terry Luttrell so and other port commissionp- ers voted to run coal trains lo- through Columbia County the without doing any research nline to find out if it is a good deal for the entire Port District, er not just the Port.

The Port claims that it by edit has done research, but I have We’ll asked for the reports and ent they cannot provide them nly because they do not exist. s not The only report they could come up with was a safety study done in 2009 for four unit trains per week, not the possible 40-50 trains per week (when combining oil and coal transport deals).

The unfunded safety costs alone will cost more than any jobs created.

If every city in the Port district were to receive a highway overpass and other safety issues were resolved, it could end up costing the people and businesses of the Port District over a million dollars per permanent job created. With over 1,400 possible rail cars of coal and empty coal cars returning per day, the deal with Kinder Morgan will create transportation issues, reduce quality of life concerns, stunt future economic growth, and hurt existing businesses.

All these issues will cost jobs and this will end up being a net job loss for the county. This does not even mention the fact that the coal trains run by many of our schools and could prevent possible emergency response access for police, fire, or paramedics. The recent school shooting in Connecticut proved a few minutes could be the difference between life and death.

Prosperity through coal-byrail is a false promise that will actually cost jobs and make Columbia County’s future dim. Please contact

Michael Clarke, Port Commissioner Candidate Let the sunshine in Just over a year ago, I finally took the plunge and installed a 10-panel solar array on my south-facing roof. Now, at my first anniversary, I don’t know why more people don’t do this.

I am pleased to say I have generated two megawatts of power over and above the amount I used for my home in this year. I am a small power user so my solar collection reduced my monthly power bill from $20 to $15, and covered three-plus months of use.

Before getting started with solar generating, there are a few things people can to do get ready such as reducing or removing appliances that heat with electricity, including hot water heater, drier, stove, and/or furnace. Also, make sure your roof is in good condition before having solar panels installed.

Although the start-up cost is high, tax credits make it well worth the investment.

The Columbia River PUD was great to work with. As you might expect, I have good days and less good days for power generation, depending on the weather.

Energy from the sun is literally raining down on us, especially in summer, but spring and fall too. What would happen if only 1 percent of power company customers produced two or three times as much energy as they use?

current St. Helens city code amended to allow goats within city limits. The current code is outdated and does not reflect modern living.

Goats are like dogs and are easy to take care of.

They do not require shots.

They are good at eating blackberry bushes and other brush in the area. They can also produce milk and it only requires a few to make it worthwhile. If you would like to voice your view on this, call your city council and let them know.

They also meet on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.

I would like to have this code amended as soon as possible and I will make sure it is put on the agenda for the public to voice their views as soon as possible.

I appreciate all the help I can get in this matter and I know many would like to have goats within city limits too so please let the city council know your feelings on this.

Norma Stevens, St. Helens School board policy I suppose having Jr. ROTC, or a .22 cal. small bore team for young adults, and shop classes where elementary gunsmithing, etc., are entirely out of the question. Not so much because of anti-firearms sentiment, but fiscal consideration.

I question the basic premise that any “body” elected or not, has the right to contravene the Second Amendment right of citizens. Clearly, the rules, laws, threat of execution for murder (now on the books), did not deter perpetrators of these latest horrific incidents that were carried out in shopping malls, theaters and schools. Were it so, these crimes would not have been committed.

Now, the school board, moved to do “something” (along with legislators at all levels of government) have joined in, not in a deliberate, analytical, nor broad based data gathering effort to address this problem, but have hastily fashioned a “policy” they think will work. It will not.

Sandy Hook School already had those (and more) measures in place and to no avail.

Before I wrote a school policy, I, as a school board member, would have contacted the Israeli Consul, or embassy and asked for their advice in how they over-

came the problem of attacks on school children in their nation. It might have been very fruitful and educational for the board and the citizens of this community wanting their kids to be secure.

These half-measures are feel-good rules – not effective problem solving solutions.

Dollars and Sense

Financial literacy is important at any age

BY LILLIE ANDERSON OSU Extensions Office/ AmeriCorps Member

I have recently become the newest AmeriCorps member to serve at the OSU Extension Office in Columbia County as the financial literacy coordinator.

Typically, you can find me typing away at my postit-filled desk or as the guest speaker at one of the many fantastic schools here in Columbia County. After spending the past few months speaking to students at local schools, developing curriculums, presenting workshops and gathering information, I find myself frequently wishing that someone had taught me personal finances while I was still in high school, before I began making my own financial decisions, and mistakes.

Although the Oregon K-12 standards for personal

finance were strengthened over the past year, personal finance is still not a required stand-alone class in Oregon; it is usually tied in with an economics or careers class.

At first glance personal finance may not seem like a subject you could spend a whole semester learning about. However, every single day we make numerous financial decisions. Should I buy a cup of coffee on my way to work? Will I drive my car or ride the bus? Buy a home or rent? Pay the electric bill? Take the loan with the lower monthly payments, but longer time frame? With money playing such a huge role in the smallest everyday decisions, personal finance is truly just as important – and just as complex – as the other required curriculums.

As I visit classrooms across the county I find myself very impressed with many of the high school stu-

dents’ knowledge of money management. However, I still see plenty of students who remind me of myself at that age, using their youth and lack of experience as an excuse to make careless financial mistakes.

To help the future, financially-independent youth out there, I have pulled together some of the most important financial tips, along with my real life blunders to help prevent some of the dreadful mistakes I made fresh out of high school. I will start with what I believe to be the most important financial tip there is: Save your money.

Once upon a time, before I had a debit card, I had something called a savings account. By the time I was off to college I had enough money saved to cover all of my expenses for five months and thanks to scholarships, loans, and my loving parents I had no

way. To safe guard yourself from ending up in financial trouble, start saving money now.

It is recommended to set aside at least 15 percent from every paycheck into a savings account. If that is too much, set aside whatever you can. Even putting $20 a month into a savings account will add up to $240 by the end of the year. It is also recommended to have at least three months’ worth of expenses saved up in the case of a sudden job loss or pay cut.

For parents trying to instill a sense of savings in their children, or even in themselves, there are a variety of activities to do.

For younger – elementary and pre-K – aged kids, draw a picture of something they want to save money to buy, make a piggy bank out of a clear bottle or jar and put the picture near the jar.

Once the jar is full, use the

expenses to pay that first year. Yet somehow all that money disappeared, and quite quickly too.

I was raised by a father who is a “careful spender” so I originally had a hard time parting with my money, but two months away from home and all of that changed. Slowly, as I made new friends, ditched my high school wardrobe, and began to explore my new city, my savings dwindled.

By the time I had my first real emergency expense (my brand new laptop had “somehow” got a crack in the screen) I no longer had that wonderful safety net I worked years to accumulate.

Instead I had a computer with a barely usable screen.

It took me a little over six months before I saved enough money to fix it.

I was never directly informed of the importance of savings, and unfortunately I learned the hard News Staff

money to buy the item they saved for and then start all over again. As they get older encourage your child to start saving for bigger items, or items that are a long way off (like college tuition).

If your child is too old for a piggy bank, or you want to keep the savings in a safe place where it will earn more money as it sits, take your child to a bank or credit union and set up a savings account. Many financial institutions offer high-interest savings accounts for youth and teens.

For those parents who provide their children with an allowance, encourage your kids to save 10 or 15 percent of their allowance.

If you are having trouble encouraging your child to save, turn it into a competition. Challenge your child to see who can save the most over a month, or who can reach $100 first.

Obituaries Amelia Schlosser Amelia “Millie” Schlosser was born to John and Elizabeth Barth on Oct. 15, 1926, in Regent, N. D. She grew up in rural America during the Great Depression, attending Amelia Schlosser St. Mary’s Grade School and High School in New England, N.D. While attending a wedding, Millie met a striking young man who had just returned from serving in the U.S. Army, Anton “Tony” Schlosser. The wedding was that of his former fiancée and he danced with Millie to make her jealous.

They soon fell in love and married on Sept. 30, 1947, in Mott, N.D. They went on to become successful business owners of several restaurants and eventually a bar. In 1968, they sold their business and moved to Oregon, where they settled in Scappoose.

Tony bought a working share in Linnton Plywood Association, and Millie served as cook and manager of The Wayside Inn in Scappoose until her retirement in 1989.

Millie lost the love of her life when Tony died suddenly, on Christmas Eve, in 1983.

Shortly after this she fought and won a battle with breast cancer.

Millie was an outstanding cook, passing on countless recipes to her family.

She enjoyed crocheting and embroidery, and her Portland Trailblazers. In her later years she touched the lives of many pre-school aged children as she volunteered at her daughter’s day care center where the kids affectionately called her “grandma.” She enjoyed her trips to Reno and the local casinos with her family.

In September of 2012 she was hospitalized and given the grim news that her life would soon be over. As with all of

the adversities in her life, she dealt with the news gracefully.

She was happy to be able to celebrate one more Christmas, one more Easter, and a couple more trips to the casino with her family.

On Friday, April 5, 2013, she took her final breath and passed away peacefully in the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Toni and Marcus Iverson, where she resided for the past five and half years; with her family by her side.

She is now walking with the Lord and her beloved Tony.

She will be forever missed by her children, Orville and Mary Jo Schlosser, Dwight and Linda Schlosser, Toni and Marcus Iverson, Sheila and Ron Austin, Geri and Steve Owsley; 10 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, all living in the Scappoose/St. Helens area, brother Fred and his wife Jean living in North Dakota and sister-in-law Joann Barth, of California.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; two infant sisters; brothers Steve, Leo, Bill and Clemens, and son-in-law Jim Livingston.

A Funeral Mass will be said at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church on Monday, April 15, 2013, at 10:30 a.m. Committal Service and vault interment is at Columbia Memorial Gardens.

Online condolences may be sent to the family at ColumbiaFH.com.

Larry Edward Hayes For every first step we take, we must take the last.

Larry Edward Hayes passed away March 5, 2013, in Boise, Idaho.

He was born June 14, Larry Hayes 1940, to James B. and Phyllis Hayes in

Dallas, Ore. He was a loving son, father, brother, uncle and grandfather.

He grew up in a forestry environment. His dad, Buford Hayes, worked for the Oregon Department of Forestry all his life. Larry graduated from St. Helens High School in 1959, attended Oregon State University and worked during the summers as a fire suppression crewman for the Oregon Department of Forestry in Tillamook.

After two years, he went to work as a timber cruiser for the Oregon Department of Forestry, which he did for about a year. After that he went to work at the U.S. Forest Service’s Ranger Station in Hebo, Ore., as a timber cruiser in Tillamook County.

From there he went to work for a private timber contractor named Prochnow, again doing cruising. His next job was working for Roseburg Lumber Company as a cruiser.

Later, he decided to go into business for himself, so he bought a self-loading log truck and called his business L & D Logging. He started hauling logs in Lane and Douglas counties. When timber sales became hard to find, he sold all of his equipment except his truck. He began hauling logs for Longview Fiber in Northwest Oregon. He was in business for himself for about five years when hard times set in, and he sold his truck and business. He sent out resumés to different timber companies and landed a job with Willamina Lumber Company working for John Hampton. He started out cruising and soon became their timber buyer. He was employed with the company from March 1980 through the summer of 1990, when he suffered a major stroke and was required to retire.

Larry enjoyed driving in the country, camping trips, hunting and spending time with his family and friends.

He married Dawna Hutchins in 1965, and they had four children.

Larry is survived by his

Elvera Kies LaPlante Our most wonderful mother, Elvera, has passed into the arms of her savior on March 30, 2013.

She was at home with family.

Born to Nicholas and Bertha Elvera LaPlante Kies on the family farm in Valle Vista, Ore., in 1917, she was raised there with four sisters. She attended Rock Creek School and Hillsboro High School.

She met Dave LaPlante when she and her family worked in the hop fields and with his quiet humor and engaging personality he won her heart. She was his “sunshine” and they were married in January of 1936 and raised a family of five children.

Dave passed away in 1965 and she later married Jack Isenbeck and had more happy years. Noted always as a fabulous cook, she was the supreme hostess and delighted in company.

She and her sisters and families were very close and with all the cousins made lively get-togethers a way of life.

Mom was always high energy, maintained an enviable garden and her spotless home was always welcoming. She served as a surrogate Mom to many appreciative souls. She was a good seamstress and

was avid in her pursuit of fishing and hunting into her late 80s, and enjoyed pinochle and casino gambling.

She is survived by her sister, Hazel Barnes; children Crystal Kehnemund, Betty Jo LaPlante, Pete (Margie) LaPlante, Cilla (Jim) Border and David (Jeanne) LaPlante; 15 grandchildren and 27 greatgrandchildren.

All of her family will grieve for our dearest Mother.

May she find new and wondrous joys on her next journey.

Elvera was a good and loving person.

Services will be held on April 13, at 10 a.m. at St. Wenceslaus Church, 51555 Old Portland Road, in Scappoose. A potluck dinner will follow in the church annex.

Memorial contributions can be sent to: Community Home Health Hospice, 1035 11th Ave., Longview, WA 98632.

Aileen Elizabeth Rippon Aileen Elizabeth Rippon was born at home in Thorp, Wash., on May 25, 1927, to Douglas and Nellie (Roan) Wilson.

She was the oldest of three children.

She Aileen Rippon died peacefully at home in St. Helens with family by her side on Thursday, March 28, 2013.

She was 85.

Aileen attended school in Thorp and after graduation in 1945, went to Open Bible Standard College in Eugene.

She transferred to Bethany Bible College in Portland, where she met her first husband, Virgil King.

She and Virgil went to the Gold Coast (Ghana) in Africa to serve as missionaries and were there until his death.

After Virgil’s death, Aileen moved back to the United States where she worked as a bookkeeper in California.

There she met Richard (Dick)

Rippon, whom she married.

The two of them had a tax accounting business.

Again she was widowed, and moved to Washington to live with her brother and sisterin-law. In 1996, she moved to St. Helens, so she could be near her aunt and uncle.

She was a member of the Christian Church of St. Helens where she served faithfully as a knowledgeable Bible teacher.

Before coming to Oregon, a stroke had rendered her physical body partially paralyzed, but it resulted in strengthening her spiritual life. She was a strong prayer warrior and an encourager to those who witnessed her faith and steadfastness in spite of her physical limitations. Even after she was no longer able to attend church she continued to be a blessing to those who visited her. Her love for her Lord, inspired all who loved her, too.

She is survived by her brother Ray (Lorna) Wilson, of Mulino, Ore.; daughter Kristine (Doyle) Wilson-Slack of San Francisco, Calif.; stepdaughters Lynn (Michael) Allen and Karen Rippon; grandchildren Chelsey De Lima and Rachel Tsunis; cousin Patrea Kroll; five nieces and two nephews.

Native plant society walk Join the Friends of Nob Hill Nature Park and the Native Plant Society of Oregon for an easy, low-key introduction to oak woodlands in Columbia County. This stroll through Nob Hill Nature Park to view trillium and fawn lily in an area currently undergoing restoration takes place on April 13 from 2–4 p.m.

NHNP is a small, oak woodland, perched on a basalt bluff overlooking the Columbia River. Come visit this

park and give your two-cents on plants found in this lower-Columbia River ecosystem. Poison oak is abundant off well-maintained trails, so long pants and long sleeves are suggested. This event will take place rain or shine.

Meet at the city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant across from the park at 2 p.m. For the day of the event only, call 503-349-8586. A plant list is available by request by calling trip leader Caroline Skinner at 503-248-9719.

SHHS grad earns track honor

Crusaders crush West Linn, 44-0 SCAPPOOSE — The Columbia County Crusaders rugby team continued its undefeated season with a 440 blowout win over the West Linn Lions on April 6.

The Crusaders started the game on the attack. Within the first 20 minutes of the game, Victoria Horecky scored two tries and Jackie Asher converted both of them. Destiny Quezada also scored to put Columbia County up 19-0.

Molly Eisenschmidt and Horecky each scored again shortly before halftime, putting the Crusaders ahead 290 at intermission.

In the second half, Kayleigh

Horecky scored after the Crusaders forced a Lion turnover. Kayleigh’s sister Victoria added another try to make it 39-0. Eisenschmidt scored the final try of the match, running straight up the middle of the field.

“The Crusaders’ victory is attributed to their hard work and dedication to the team. Rugby is a physically and mentally demanding sport. It’s imperative that the girls work cohesively together,” said coach Ashley Baggett.

The Crusaders play at Scappoose Middle School on April 13 against Linn-Benton at 11 a.m.

Lions blow past Vikings

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — The thirdranked St. Helens Lions (7-2) scored in all of their at-bats but one on their way to a 6-1 nonleague victory over the visiting Forest Grove Vikings (7-2) on April 3.

The Lions received another dominant pitching performance from MORE sophoONLINE more Mariah See a full Mulcahy. box score She and more threw a photos at complete thechronigame and cleonline.com. allowed four hits.

It was Mulcahy’s third straight start with 11 strikeouts.

She also got the job done at the plate, driving in two runs in the third inning. Mulcahy’s base hit drove in senior Sue Sass and sophomore Michelle Sass. Sue scored in the first inning as well.

St. Helens got production up and down the lineup: leadoff hitter Stevie Strawn had a sac fly late in the game; Sue Sass scored twice out of the No. 2 spot; No. 3 hitter Michelle Sass was 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run; Mulcahy had those two RBIs out of the 5 hole; No. 6 hitter Alyssa Giesbers scored the team’s second run of the game; No. 7 hitter Ashley Giesbers was 1for-2 with a run scored and an

Scappoose junior Will Sprute pitched a complete game victory against Banks on April 2 and had three RBIs at the plate.

Sprute powers Indians to win

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens junior Karli Edwards doubles down the left-field line against Forest Grove on April 3.

RBI; No. 8 hitter Karli Edwards was 2-for-3 with a single and a double; and freshman Kayla Finch came off the bench and recorded an RBI single in the sixth inning.

St. Helens was supposed to start league on April 5 at Sherwood (2-9) but the game was rained out. It will be made up on April 11 at 5 p.m.

The Lions were to play at

home against the Liberty Falcons (7-5, 1-0) on April 9 and will go to Sandy High School (10-1, 1-0) for a 6:30 p.m. showdown against the No. 4 Pioneers on April 12.

SCAPPOOSE — When his team needed a big play, junior pitcher Will Sprute was up to the task on April 2. He accounted for all four runs and pitched a complete game for the Tribe (5-6, 1-0) in a 4-3 win over the Banks Braves (3-7, 01).

Through the first three innings of their 2013 Cowapa League debut, the Indians had a hard time coming up with timely hitting. Then after a single, two walks and a strikeout, Sprute belted a three-run double into the gap in right-center field. That erased a 2-0 Banks lead.

Sprute took that lead to the mound and continued to baffle

Braves hitters. Sprute scored an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth when he came in on an RBI single from junior Hunter Hoyt.

Banks managed to score once in the top of the seventh inning, but sophomore Robby Backus made a diving, juggling catch in foul territory to end the game.

Banks beat Scappoose on April 8, 6-4. The Tribe was rained out of an April 6 nonleague game against Philomath.

The Indians were scheduled to play the Yamhill-Carlton Tigers (2-2, 0-7) on the road on April 9 and at home at 5 p.m. on April 11.

ST. HELENS — The Milwaukie Mustangs simply had too much foot speed in the sprint events for the St. Helens Lions to come up with enough points for dual meet victories on April 3. The Lions found plenty of success in the hurdles and scored well in the distance and field events to keep both the boys and girls team scores close during the first Northwest Oregon Conference dual meet of the season.

Milwaukie won the boys’ meet 83-62 and took the girls’ by a score of 74-66.

St. Helens junior Bryan Strang won both the 800 and 1500 to give the Lion boys their only double win of the day.

Sophomore Casey Cooke and junior Tanner Boyle took the top two spots in the 3,000 meters as St. Helens swept the long races.

Senior Kendrick Alvarez and junior Thomas Hughes finished first and second in the 300-meter hurdles. In the high hurdles, Hughes was second and Alvarez was third.

While it’s still early in the season, Alvarez’s time puts him in the top five in the state for 5A 300 hurdle times.

That’s an encouraging sign for an athlete who has competed in only two races since his

freshman year.

“We knew he had the potential. He missed all of last year and the year before with

injuries,” said SHHS coach Gerry Tinkle.

St. Helens had the top three spots in the javelin, led

by senior Nathan Reed’s winning throw of 174-9. That mark is No. 3 on the SHHS top 10 list for javelin throws

since new javelins were adopted for use in 2002.

Junior Chris Gray added a victory in the pole vault to

round out the SHHS boys’ victories.

Just like in the boys’ competition, hurdles proved to be a strength for the girls. Junior Alyna Habel won both the 100- and 300-meter races.

Lions are finding their groove against conference foes

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

It was nearly another shutout for the St. Helens Lions on April 2. The Lions beat the Liberty Falcons 7-2, with both of Liberty’s wins coming down to the wire.

“Our squad was in every match of the day and in the case of both of our losses, the final set score was 7-5,” said St. Helens coach Mike Gregor.

“We were very close to a sec-

ond shutout in a row, but it wasn’t meant to be.”

Instead, St. Helens had to wait until April 8 to pick up another shutout, notching an 8-0 victory over Rex Putnam that featured four very close matches.

St. Helens rolled to wins in the three contested singles matches, taking each of them in straight sets.

(No. 1 singles player Haley Mann-Miller won via forfeit.)

Madison Kaplan and JoCee Giroski both won by scores of

6-1, 6-0, and Lauren Chambers won 6-4, 6-1.

“Our singles players continued their great play with Kaplan and Giroski making short work of their opponent,” Gregor said.

Three of the four doubles matches went to three sets before St. Helens emerged with wins. Amanda Pardue and Justice Krickeberg won a challenging 7-5, 6-4 match in the No. 2 doubles spot.

“Rex Putnam is a much improved squad from last year

and gave us tough matches in doubles play. 7-5 seemed to be the score of the day as doubles teams racked up five of them,” Gregor said.

The week prior, the Lions beat the Falcons in the top three singles matches and won four of the five doubles matches.

“Haley Mann-Miller played through a nagging hip injury to defeat her opponent in straight sets. Kaplan and Giroski both cruised to wins

Improving clay soils Most Columbia County soils have significant amounts of clay. While these soils can be quite fertile, they also drain slowly. The list of vegetables, fruit trees, and landscape plants that can tolerate poor drainage is small indeed.

Heavy soils can be improved by installing drain tiles (actually rolls of corrugated black perforated tubing) that discharge water to a lower ditch. These can be complex to install and are usually buried three feet or more in the soil.

It is possible to improve soil drainage by adding organic matter. One application will help but if continued each year for a number of years, it can make a big difference.

When you combine that by creating berms or raised beds, you can dramatically improve the root environment for your plants.

So how much organic matter should you add each year and what type of organic matter should it be? Generally, adding two inches of organic matter each year and working it into the top 6-10 inches of soil will start improving soil texture and drainage.

But the type of organic matter can have a big impact on the immediate performance of vegetables and annual flowers. Fresh sawdust, wood, chips, or shavings will start composting once they are added to soil.

The organisms that do the heavy lifting in the compost process (i.e. fungi, bacteria, teensy insects, etc.) will start capturing the free soil nitrogen in their bodies as their numbers explode. Your plant roots just can’t compete with them.

So you have one of two choices: either only use compost that is already fully composted (by that I mean that you can’t see any distinguishable plant parts and it all smells sweet) or add extra nitrogen to

SHHS still in fifth in NWOC garden plots both feed your plants and your very hungry fungi.

So how much nitrogen should you add to feed both your plants and the composting crew? I normally recommend that the vegetable garden have about three pounds of actual nitro-gen per 1,000 square feet for the vegetables alone. So if you are applying well-composted organic matter, that is all the nitrogen you need. But if you are adding lots of uncomposted or partly composted material, you will need about 5-6 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet.

When you read a fertilizer bag, the first number is the nitrogen number and it is a percentage of actual nitrogen in the bag (whether it is an organic or conventional fertilizer). So a 7-10-10 fertilizer would have 7 percent nitrogen and 10 percent of both phosphorus and potassium.

To get the right amount of nitrogen (let’s say 6 pounds of actual N/1,000) you would need to add about 85 pounds of the fertilizer per 1,000 feet to keep everyone happy. The calculation goes: 6/.07 = 85.

Blood meal is basically about 12 percent nitrogen so you would need 6/.12 = 50 pounds to get the same amount of nitrogen.

Nitrogen-short vegetables generally have greenish yellow leaves (as compared to deep green) and are not as vigorous as well-fertilized plants.

Other garden topics Keep your garlic weeded this time of year and fertilize it now during this period of rapid growth. Remember to remove the flower stalks that appear in May so that you get bigger bulbs.

Birds, especially finches, sparrows, and chickadees remove a lot of noxious garden weed seeds.

While many soils have drained enough for tilling, not all have. Check your soil before you till. Squeeze a lump

PORTLAND — Without their No. 2 golfer, the St. Helens Lions were unable to move out of fifth place in the Northwest Oregon Conference but continued to show improvement as a team during an April 2 NWOC match at Glendoveer West Golf Course.

The Lions were without Shelby Edwards, who has played in the No. 2 spot all season. Coach Jen Johnston said Mikela Heimuller did an admirable job stepping into that spot.

“Mikela is showing so much improvement this year and a lot of it can be attributed to taking a little more time when she is addressing the ball and especially with lining up putts,” Johnston said.

Despite maybe feeling a bit of jet lag, McKenzie Schull was once again the top golfer for St. Helens. Johnston said Schull had just returned from a school spring break trip to Costa Rica the night before and wasn’t quite up to par.

“Great things are yet to

come for McKenzie,” Johnston said.

Kaitlynn Burbank scored better than 20 points to show the most improvement thus far.

She matched her 18-hole score from the previous week on the front nine at Glendoveer.

“Kaitlynn put in extra time on her game over the spring break working with a professional and it shows,” Johnston said.

St. Helens was at Quail Valley on April 9.

Lions’ bats go off against Broncos

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

After having a tough time stringing together hits in their first two games of the week, the St. Helens Lions (3-6, 12) pounded out 14 hits and capitalized on several miscues from the Parkrose Broncos (0-10, 0-3) for a 15-6 win on April 5.

Four of those hits went for extra bases, led by senior leadoff hitter Wyatt Mosley’s 3-for-5 day at the plate with two doubles. He started the game off by blasting a double off the top of the fence and ended up with four RBIs as well.

Nine different Lions picked up base hits and St. Helens pressured Parkrose into 10 errors by taking extra bases as frequently as possible.

Junior Noah Weitzel was 3-for-4 with three RBIs and three runs scored. Senior Martin Scheer had a single and a double.

Earlier in the week, St. Helens lost two in a row to the Sandy Pioneers (6-6, 21).

The Pioneers won a 2-1 pitcher’s dual on April 2.

Lion sophomore Bryce Sanford settled down after allowing two runs in the first inning and threw a gem the rest of the way. Sandy used a hit batter, a walk and two errors in the opening frame to score its only two runs of the

He advanced to third on a single from Scheer then scored on a passed ball.

On April 3, Sandy again tossed a two-hitter against St. Helens. The Pioneers won the second game of the series 11-0.

Mosley and sophomore Brody Takemoto had the Lions’ two hits.

This week St. Helens was scheduled to host Parkrose on April 9 and play Putnam at home at 4:30 p.m. on April 10. The Lions will play on the road against Putnam on April 12. That game is scheduled to be played at Alder Creek Middle School at 5 p.m.

COLIN STORM / Molalla Pioneer

Rowan Miller putts on the 18th green at the Molalla Invitational on April 2.

St. Helens’ scores continue dropping In each of their last three matches, the St. Helens Lions have improved their overall team score.

On April 2, a team of SHHS JV players finished second overall at the Molalla Invitational. Junior Cody Teyema finished second overall at the meet with a score of 88.

Estacada’s varsity team won with 374. St. Helens beat out Molalla’s varsity team, 391-410.

On April 6, the Lions were third at the five-team West Albany Invitational at Springhill Country Club.

Coach Dave Lawrence was pleased with the third-place finish, pointing out that the hosting West Albany Bulldogs return the state champion and the second-place Westview squad is a very good 6A team.

Senior Nathan Hunter and sophomore Jacob Roxey led St. Helens, finishing tied for seventh overall with matching 88s.

“Nathan and Jacob both tied for seventh overall on a course we had never played and was stretched out to its

maximum length. An example was No. 7, a monster 457-yard par four playing into the wind,” Lawrence said.

St. Helens played a more familiar course on April 8, when the Lions were at Quail Valley for a Northwest Oregon Conference match. The Lions ended up in third place out of seven NWOC teams behind the Sherwood Bowmen and Wilsonville Wildcats.

Teyema shot an 82 to make his way into the top 10. He had a dozen pars, including nine in a row at one point and parred five of the six most difficult holes on the course.

Roxey finished with an 84 and Hunter and Michael Hewlett both shot 85s. Eric Aldridge rounded out the day with a 92.

“Eric Aldridge had a real topsy-turvy round in his first round out of the 80s. He won’t be upside down for long,” Lawrence said.

St. Helens’ JV team won its meet by “10-15 strokes,” Lawrence said.

Opdahl and Normine beat their Liberty opponents in straight sets.

Sherwood and Wilsonville are two of the four opponents St. Helens has scheduled this week. In addition to the Putnam match on April 8, St. Helens was at Wilsonville on April 9, plays at at Sherwood on April 10 and hosts Sandy at 4 p.m. on April 12.
