Child is second victim of April 14 fatal crash A second victim has died from injuries sustained in a head-on collision that occurred on U.S. Highway 30 west of Clatskanie on April 14. Noah Waite-Brown, age 8, of Longview, Wash., died on April 20. Noah’s father, Lucas William Brown, died shortly after being transported to Legacy Emanuel Hospital. Both were transported by Lifeflight helicopter. The fatal two-vehicle headon crash occurred on Highway 30 at Bradley Hill about 13 miles west of Clatskanie in Clatsop County. Seven people were transported to local hospital after the crash, four of whom were juveniles. Information from Oregon State Police indicates that around 5:30 p.m., a 1998 Volkswagen Jetta driven by Lucas Brown, 36, of Longview, was eastbound on Highway 30 near milepost 75 negotiating a curve when it traveled across the double solid centerline and collided head-on with a 2003 Mini Cooper driven by Kimberly Anne Sultan, 42, of Astoria, that was traveling in the left westbound lane. Brown’s other child in the Jetta, Kane G. Brown, age 7, was taken to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland with non-life-threatening injuries. Sultan was transported by ambulance to St. John Medical Center in Longview but was later transferred to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and was last listed in critical condition. The passengers in the Mini Cooper were taken to Columbia Memorial Hospital with minor injuries and were identified as Ivan Sultan, 44; Keanu Sultan, 16, and Emily R. Lloyd, age 22 months.

The circus is coming to town BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — It’s time to run away with the circus. The Culpepper and Meriweather Circus will return to Columbia County on June 1, providing entertainment for the whole family. The circus is being sponsored by the South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce and will serve as a fundraiser for the group. Organizing and scheduling the event presented some challenges. “The circus will be held at Cinnamon Tree Park,” said Linda Chval, member services manager for the chamber. “The entrance will be off Crown Zellerbach because it is the same day as Scappoose High’s graduation.” Tickets are available through the Chamber of Commerce or through a chamber board member. Advance purchase ticket prices for kids are $6, and adults are $10. Prices on the day of the circus are $7 for kids and $13 for adults. “There are only 700 tickets for See CIRCUS, Page A9

Portland Pirate Festival jumps ship BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Citing a “ship-load” of unforeseen circumstances, organizers of the Portland Pirate Festival have announced the annual event will not be docking in St. Helens for the expected two-day run. Instead, there will be an official welcoming ceremony for the Royaliste tall ship on Aug. 31 only. “The producers of [the] Portland Pirate Festival are plotting a course to make the next PPF the greatest pirate festival in history and your patience is appreciated while we endeavor to achieve that goal,” said organizers via the event’s website. Despite the unexpected move, the festival is planned for a return to St. Helens in 2014. “We must take a year off to re-group and are working on bringing in more attractions than ever including a major head-line music act,” organizers added. The Portland Pirate Festival began looking for a new location in 2011 after event fees at its home base at Tom McCall Waterfront Park increased to more See PIRATES, Page A3

Donation helps St. Helens students take home award in video contest firefighters stay safe ST. HELENS — Students from teacher Joe Mauck’s building class at St. Helens High School won the Students’ Choice Award, which carries a $200 prize, in the “Speak Up. Work Safe,” student video contest sponsored, in part, by the Oregon Young Employee Safety Coaltion. Students were asked to create a video with a teen job safety and health message and were judged on creativity, production value, youth appeal, and the overall safety and health message. All of the winning videos, as well as the other finalists, are available for viewing at www.youtube.com/user/ OregonSafetyHealth.

Thanks to a donation from local manufacturer Dyno Nobel, firefighters and local police will be able to do their jobs a little more safely. Officials from Dyno Nobel recently presented Columbia River Fire & Rescue with a check for $10,000 on April 29. Columbia River plans to use the money to purchase a Portacount Plus respirator fit tester. The funds provided by Dyno Nobel came through the company’s community fund program. “Dyno Nobel came up with a community fund

idea… to come up with something that benefitted the community,” said Plant Manager Lorne Clark, who presented the $10,000 check to CRF&R. Clark said the intent was to go beyond the company’s existing charitable contributions and find a specific project that could benefit the community at large. “For this year, the one we supported was for fire and rescue to get some breathing testing apparatus so they can be kept up to date on their masks, on their breathing equipment, which we felt benefitted the entire county,” added Clark.

Fire damages home in St. Helens Fire Reports ST. HELENS – Fire crews from Columbia River Fire & Rescue responded to a reported residential fire at 367 N. Vernonia Road, just before 7 p.m., on April 22. Crews arrived to find a single-story residence with light smoke rising from the roof vents. Flames were observed coming out of the roof vents on the back of the home and the firefighters went to work extinguishing the fire located in the attic area. The fire was quickly declared under control, but fire personnel worked for another two hours to ensure all the hot

spots in the attic were extinguished. According to on-scene

Incident Commander Ron Youngberg, the home is a rental house owned by Joe

Kessi of Warren and was empty at the time of the fire. Youngberg said that the fire heavily damaged the attic area, and most of the ceiling needed to be torn out to get to the fire. Extensive water damage was also incurred during the firefighting efforts. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Damage is estimated at about $75,000 for the home and few contents. CRF&R responded with three fire engines, a rescue unit, and several support vehicles. A total of 15 fire personnel were on scene with no reported injuries.

Local students earn FBLA honors Three students earned top honors at the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) state competition held earlier this month in Portland. Melanie Naillon, Jake Stafford and Parker Snook finished first place in their respective competition categories among students statewide and will compete at FBLA’s national conference this June in Anaheim, Calif. All three are student tellers at St. Helens Credit Union in-school branches. “Congratulations to Melanie, Jake and Parker for their outstanding performance at the state competition for Future Business Leaders of America,” said SHCFCU President and CEO Brooke Van Vleet. “Our high school tellers are bright, enthusiastic, and we are especially proud of the way these three students are representing our credit union and community.” The FLBA conference in

June is the culmination of an eight month program for the local students. In October, they participated in an event at the Oregon Leadership Institute, where they attended professional workshops, and learned about career fields and business skills from guest speakers. From there, they competed in regional and state competitions against other qualifying FBLA students from more than 50 Oregon schools. Melanie, who attends St. Helens High School, finished first place at state for Hospitality Management. Jake and Parker attend Scappoose High School and finished first place for Banking and Financial Systems. SHCU operates two high school branches—one at St. Helens High School and one at Scappoose High School—that are staffed by students. All three student tellers also serve at the credit union’s other local branches.

Safety seat check-up scheduled in St. Helens Safe Kids Columbia County will hold a child safety seat check-up on May 18 from 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at Emmert Motors, 2175 Columbia Blvd., in St. Helens.

a piece of equipment that the agency has been wanting to purchase but did not fit within the budget. Once purchased, the equipment will be housed with Columbia River Fire & Rescue but will also be available to local police and other public safety agencies to test their equipment. The Portacount Plus tester carries a price tag of a little more than $10,000, so the department will now begin some comparison shopping to find the best price. The department is hopeful the equipment will be in house and ready to use by this June. “We really do appreciate this. This is one of those devices we were looking at having to buy,” said Division Chief Brian Burright. “This will be a real advantage for us.”

Under Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations, breathing equipment such as respirators and masks must be tested regularly to ensure the equipment is functioning properly. Until now, that testing has been done manually at local agencies. “Annually, we have to fit test all our mask and respiratory equipment. We used to do it by a manual mean where we put the mask on, put a bag over the person’s head and introduced a smelly substance,” said Division Chief Ron Youngberg. “If they could smell it, it didn’t have a good fit. But OSHA requires more qualitative testing. There’s actually a computer machine that does all of that.” Youngberg said it is

than $20,000, compared to just $200 for permits in St. Helens. In 2010, the festival docked at Cathedral Park in St. Johns before finding a more suitable location at the now empty Boise property on The Strand. Bringing an estimated 10,000 visitors to the area, the annual event has brought profits to many businesses in the Olde Town area. Denise Dahrens, owner of The Apple Blossom at 257 S. First St., said she had her “busiest day since opening” after the event was held in 2012. Jill Newkirk-Owens, owner of Jilly’s Again at the corner of First and Cowlitz streets, embraced the pirate spirit and spent both days of the 2012 event in full costume. Newkirk-Owens also brought in dresses, scarves, hats, and dozens of other pirate-related items for shoppers looking to extend the souvenir-purchasing experience beyond the gates of the festival. “It was a lot better than last year’s,” said NewkirkOwens. “It’s been really steady and sales have been good.” But not all of the Olde Town retailers will see a difference. St. Helens City Councilor Susan Conn, who owns the Word-for-Word bookstore on First Street doesn’t think she will see much impact from the announcement.

“I had some increase in business the first year because there wasn’t any place to buy espresso,” she said. “But not in the second year.” The Portland Pirate Festival, along with the Maritime Festival, 13 Nights on the River and the annual Fourth of July Fireworks, has come to be an important part of the summer season line up for area entertainment. Despite the setback, organizers are hopeful Columbia County residents and pirate enthusiasts will come to the Royaliste welcoming. “Rendezvous with the Royaliste will include much of the same fun and frivolity for pirates of all ages that you have come to expect from Portland Pirate Festival, packed into one swashbuckling day,” said organizers. Nautically inspired offerings at the Royaliste rendezvous include: • Ship-to-shore cannon battles • Royaliste dockside tours • Sword fighting demos and lessons • Nautical history • Pirates, parrots and mermaids • Music and dance • Merchants, grub n’ grog The welcoming ceremony will be held from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 31 at the St. Helens City Docks. Merchants and food vendors are still needed for Rendevous with the Royaliste and new applications are availble now.

Columbia River PUD donate to food bank Cornelius Pass closures scheduled for paving in May DEER ISLAND —Columbia River PUD employees donated $855 to Columbia Pacific Food Bank recently. The donations were collected during the PUD’s annual one-day food drive. During the food drive, each department competes as a group for the honor of being recognized as the top givers. This year’s top givers were from the Information Technology Department, where employees contributed an average of $34 each. “We’ve heard how donations to the food bank drop off after the holidays, and we wanted to do something about that,” said GIS Analyst Darin Smith. “We were all really motivated to pitch in.” Several PUD employees gathered to hear the results of the food drive, including everyone in the Information Technology Department, which had the highest average donations of all the participants. CPFB accepts donations of cash, food, and other household products. For every dollar donated, CPFB is able to distribute about five

pounds of food. Cash donations can be made through PayPal by visiting the CPFB website at CPFoodBank.org. CPFB partners with programs such as community meal sites, emergency food pantries, senior meal sites, the Women’s Resource

Center and several other non-profits to feed the hungry throughout Columbia County. “Community support is more important than ever to Columbia Pacific Food Bank and our partner agencies,” said CPFB Executive

Director Tracie Smith. “The only way we can continue to support our partner agencies during these tough times is with the help of groups like the PUD’s employees. I’m thankful for their donations, because no one should be hungry.”

Multnomah County plans to close NW Cornelius Pass Road between U.S. Highway 30 and NW Skyline Blvd. on the first three Fridays in May to complete emergency paving repairs. An increase in construction near Hillsboro has added some 200–300 additional heavy truck trips a day to the road. The additional traffic has worn the pavement to the point that potholes will form, creating a safety hazard. The road is scheduled to be closed to through traffic on May 3, 10 and 17, from 7 a.m.–5 p.m., weather permitting. • During the road closures, crews will: • Mill and repave worn areas • Repair and clean traffic signs • Trim vegetation in the right of way

• Replace missing reflectors in centerline • During the closures, through traffic can use one of these alternate routes: Detours for cars will be on NW Cornell Road, NW Germantown Road, NW Logie Trail Road, NW Newberry Road, or NW Old Cornelius Pass Road, via NW Skyline Blvd. Trucks will be rerouted to Highway 26 and trucks with hazardous cargo will be sent to Interstate 5 south to Highway 217 north to Highway 26 Access to the closed section of Cornelius Pass Road will be provided for local residents, school buses, and emergency vehicles. Local residents should carry proof of address to ensure access. Flaggers will direct traffic across Cornelius Pass Road at NW Skyline Blvd. For more information, visit www.multco.us/roads.

Learning center hosts Black Tie, Blue Jeans fundraiser Bethany annual ST. HELENS — Since its inception in 2000, the Columbia Learning Center has awarded 161 scholarships totaling $805,000 to graduating seniors from Columbia County High Schools. “This year we are bestowing 12 ‘Chance to Become’ scholarships in the amount of $60,000,” said St. Helens Mayor and board member Randy Peterson. The $5,000 scholarship can be used by students at an accredited college or trade school. “Monies for this scholarship fund come from private, anonymous donors as well as from the proceeds of our annual fundraising event, Black Tie and Blue Jeans, slated for Saturday, Aug. 3, at the Deer Island Stock Ranch,” said board member Marion Christensen.

This year’s gala event will include a full course dinner followed by a silent and bid auction led by local auctioneer Mark Kuhn. Attendees will enjoy musical entertainment and dancing. Fellow board member Brian Little said the event is

always a popular venue that raises much needed dollars for students who intend to further their education. The center also announced the appointment of three new board members, Suzie Dahl, Susan Conn and Scott Howard who join five

other local board members. The Columbia Learning Center is located at 375 S. 18th St., in St. Helens (location of the St. Helens Library). For more information, contact Marion at 503-3975175.

Bethany Lutheran Church is looking to shake things up a bit for the 2013 Quilt Show. This year, south Columbia County’s premier quilt show will be held this spring, on May 3 from 10 a.m.–7 p.m. and May 4 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. Come prepared to carry on a quilt show tradition, enjoy old favorites and ring in a new era when Bethany Lutheran Church presents “Common Threads & Family Ties” and welcomes featured quilter Wynette Cate. After 33 years, this long-standing quilt show continues the tradition of showing quilts; both old and new quilts from area attics, trunks, rescued,

baby and heirloom quilts. Bethany will keep old favorites, such as their famous homemade cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, soups, pies, bake/book sale and quilt raffle, but add some new attractions, such as are daily story times for kids, gift basket raffle, consignment items like ‘bag of rags,’ (quilt scraps), handcrafted household items and gifts, such as, ”Angel Flakes” (homemade laundry soap).

Renew Columbia 9-1-1: Vote YES on Measure 5-232 Paid for by the Renew Columbia 9-1-1 Committee C11166

Wednesday, May 1, 2013

Letters Get the facts Being Earth Day, it seems a good idea to write to the paper and urge the citizens of Columbia County to educated themselves about the prospect of coal exports through Port Westward near Clatskanie. There is a website that I recommend, CleanColumbiaCounty.org. Please look at the entire picture in terms of health and safety to our communities. Also, check out what could be the impact to the local businesses and our property values. My understanding is we are talking about 25 jobs. Hopefully, we can find 25plus better jobs for our area. What will this do to the farmers near the Port property and their employees? PGE didn’t want the coal terminals near them – ask yourselves why. Education gives you power, so now is the time to learn all you can about theses proposals. The Port of St. Helens hasn’t been real transparent about the coal exports. It is time to get some straight-forward answers to the people who will be impacted by this for many years. Let’s preserve our quality of life. Marjorie Kundiger, St. Helens Michael Clarke For Port Commissioner Recently I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Michael Clarke, who is running for Port Commissioner, Position No. 4. His views and ideas on how the Port can do a better job of stimulating the local economy, and be more open and transparent in their decision making are on the mark and vital to the needs of Columbia County. It’s time for new ideas and leadership at the Port of St. Helens. The residents and businesses of Columbia County need someone at the Port who will look out for their interests. Michael Clarke is the right person for the job. Please vote for Michael Clarke for Port Commissioner. Robert Campbell, Columbia City

Speedbump

Coal can be stopped There are five cities in Columbia County that will be seriously impacted by 12 coal “unit trains” per day (each train being 1.3 miles long) if Kinder Morgan gets to build a 100-acre coal storage pile at Port Westward. The trains can be stopped if the Port of St. Helens Commissioners simply vote no on final approval of the lease. Columbia County also can say no to coal trains. The planning commission can determine that the Port’s application to rezone 957 acres of agricultural land to industrial land (in violation of statewide land use goal no. 3 – preserve farmland) is not justified, especially to accommodate a coal terminal and unit trains. We as citizens must do our part, and I see three ways: 1) tell our Port officials what we think of this coming traffic nightmare at every grade crossing along Highway 30; 2) write a letter to the Planning Commission at the county urging them to deny the farmland reduction or testify at the May 6 hearing; and 3) vote for Michael Clarke for Port Commissioner, Position No. 4. Mike opposes the coal train fiasco and aims to shine a bright light on the not-sotransparent dealings of the Port. Darrel Whipple, Rainier Theft by any other name The members of St. Helens Garden Club are proud to have been part of the civic beautification project at 13th and Columbia Boulevard, known as Triangle Park. As mentioned in a previous letter in this newspaper, this was a combined effort of the City of St. Helens and the Garden Club. Funds for this effort came from a combination of grants, donated products and labor and resulted in an oasis – an ever-changing beauty for the citizens to enjoy. Upkeep for the park is from

funds and volunteer efforts of the members of the club. Shortly after the initial planting, several special plants were taken by someone in the community who knew their value. Now, just at the peak of their bloom, someone has cut nearly all of the black and pink tulips that were planted. Citizens did not even have a chance to share in their beauty because someone chose to think that this was their personal floral shop. Taxpayer dollars are not being used for this project, just a lot of hard work by local members of the community. As the seasons change, more flowers will be blooming and we hope that everyone has the chance to enjoy them. When someone takes things that don’t belong to them, it is theft, plain and simple. They steal not only from the garden, they also steal from the community who now cannot enjoy the beauty. Stan Chiotti, President, St. Helens Garden Club Praise for county employee No matter where I happen to point my ears these days, I hear a nearly constant drumbeat of criticism directed toward all levels of government. Most often, these diatribes also vilify public employees. In the midst of this backdrop of negative noise, I journeyed to the Columbia County Courthouse on April 1, 2013, to the Land Development Services Department. My mission was to collect information on rules and regulations regarding allowed uses of residential properties such as mine that border McNulty Creek in St. Helens. I was assisted at the counter that day by Deborah Jacob, Planner II of that department. As a long-time county resident, taxpayer, and voter I can only praise the quality of service I received that day as Ms. Jacob’s “customer.” She was friendly, patient, knowledgeable and most

variety of uses. The technology is not new, but is improving and can continue to do so. Have you guessed that the resource that could be used to fuel vehicles, make plastics, etc. is coal? Lest you think I am pro- or anti-coal, let me disabuse you. I am neither. I am against selling for an average of one dollar per ton a resource that you and I own. That is not a typo. The government conducts coal auctions from public lands, where about one-third of U.S. coal exists, at the behest of mining companies. The current coal companies’ plans are to buy our coal for $1 per ton, transport it through the Columbia Gorge through our community, leaving piles of particles, dust,

helpful with my many questions and concerns. She also directed me to several other sources of information that I might find useful in my quest to educate myself. I’m sure I wasn’t the only citizen to leave the courthouse that day pleased by Ms. Jacob’s friendly professionalism. These kinds of interactions with taxpayers create a strong positive impression, and yes, help recruit supportive voters. Danner Christensen, St. Helens Let’s hold off on coal What non-renewable resource do the American people own in abundance? Hint: It can be liquefied to use as fuel, and gasified for a

diesel exhaust, and polluted water in their wake, send the coal to China, make a huge profit and leave us breathing polluted air while we sit at railroad crossings waiting for mile long trains to pass. Only undeveloped countries sell their natural resources. Our coal should be left in the ground until such time as it is needed to replace increasingly expensive oil. The U.S. is not a developing nation that needs to sell its raw resources to make ends meet. This supply of coal we have needs to be a bank account for the future, not sold to the only bidder at a lease auction for $1 per ton. Dianne Kocer, Brush Prairie

Spring cleaning in Columbia County

Cause for concern The more I learn about the coal train project, the more concerned I become. I have concerns about the trains blocking traffic, including emergency vehicles, for about 10 minutes at least 12 times a day. I have concerns about the toxic coal dust that has mercury and lead. I have concerns that the number of jobs created will be outnumbered by the jobs lost. Our county is in a bad situation and we cannot afford to risk so much for the promise of so little. The Port has requested to amend the comprehensive plan and re-zone 957 acres of agricultural land. This will provide the land needed to place the coal terminal. If you also have concerns about the coal train project, I encourage you to come to the hearing at the Columbia Courthouse next Monday evening, May 6 at 6:30 p.m. Annie Christensen, St. Helens

The spring cleaning bug made its way through Columbia County on April 27 with several clean-up events being held across the county. St. Helens, Scappoose and Columbia City all had drop sites where unwanted appliances, yard debris or old tires could be dropped off for a minimal charge. Also, The St. Helens Economic Development Corporation spent much of the day sprucing up Olde Towne.

Ohio pastor to speak at Bible conference

Promoting healthy, happy families, Pastor James Love of the Southland Missionary Baptist Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, will speak at the White Picket Fences Bible Conference May 1-3 in St. Helens. “I feel that attending the Bible conference is a very needed oasis for pastors, preachers, and people in general,” Love said when asked why he chose to speak at the conference. “Especially in the parched world we live in.” Love is the co-founder of Leadership Training Institute of America and acts as the Colerain Township Police Chaplain. In addition to his 13-year ministry at Southland MBC, he was the elementary principal at Central Baptist Church and Schools in Cincinnati for

nine years. Love holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Pastoral Studies and a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies. In addition to serving families in organized education and ministry, Love, husband and father, models personal success in family life. Life experience tends to be the greatest teacher. Love and his wife, Tammy, high school sweethearts, have been married for 32 years. They have three daughters and seven grandchildren. Two of Love’s daughters are married to pastors. Healthy families are a building block in every aspect of life. “The number one thing is to relearn and return to the template that God has set for the home,” Love says. “In this world of broken homes, God’s

children “are going to have to model and teach what a godly home looks like.” Love has chosen the theme of submission for his three sessions, at 7 pm on May 1, 2 and 3. “Submission is a key,” he says, “not just to the home, but to all relationships.” The conference is sponsored by First Missionary Baptist Church, 2625 Gable Road, in St. Helens. Other speakers for the conference will be James W. Love and Tim Geist. All sessions center on the topic of helping families thrive. There is no charge for the event. For more information about this conference, contact Pastor Leroy Goodman at (503) 397-2874. A full schedule is available for viewing at www. sthelensbaptist.com.

Lires and Jackie Nichlos, who were there when she needed them. A celebration of life service and potluck will be held on Saturday, May 4, at Beaver Homes Grange in Rainier at 1 p.m. Kenneth Minikel Kenneth Minikel went to be with his savior on April 26, 2013. Kenneth was born on May 2, 1927. He is survived by his loving wife of 67 years, Lorraine Minikel; son Tim Minikel; daughter LaManda Minikel; sister Kenneth Minikel Alice Schroeder and numerous beloved nieces and nephews. Ken served in the 11th Airborne in the Occupation Forces of Japan at the end of World War II. After his service, Ken and Lorraine moved to St. Helens where he worked at Boise Cascade Paper Mill until his retirement in 1987. Kenneth loved the Lord.

He was active in several area churches until becoming a founding member of Warren Community Fellowship where he played an important role for 30-plus years. One friend has said “Ken bleeds Scripture” and this is true. His love of the word of God spilled over into his love for his family, friends and all those he came in contact with. He freely shared his kind smile and wise words that radiated from an open, gracious and God-loving heart. While he will be missed beyond words, we know he is happy with the Lord. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, May 2, at 11 a.m. at Warren Community Fellowship Church A private interment will be at Yankton Hillcrest Cemetery. Online condolences may be left for the family at ColumbiaFH.com. Arrangements are by Columbia Funeral Home.

SHHS to perform Sergel production St. Helens High School is proud to announce its production of Christopher Sergel’s “The Mouse That Roared.” This hilarious comedy runs May 2, 3, and 4 with performances at 7 p.m. A special matinee presentation will be given on May 4 at 2 p.m. and will feature a “Star Wars” theme in honor of May the Fourth Be With You Day. Audience members dressed in Star Wars-themed clothing will receive $1 off their admission. “The Mouse That Roared” tells the story of a pretty 22-year-old girl who happens to be the present Duchess Gloriana, sovereign of a microscopic country in the Alps founded centuries ago by a roving band of English bowmen. Gloriana’s unique solution to the near bankruptcy of her tiny domain is to declare war on the U.S. There’s some method to her madness, however, for her

study of recent history suggests that the surest way to wealth today is to lose a war with the United States, for that country’s odd reaction is to pour aid, relief and rehabilitation on the vanquished. When her “declaration” is considered a prank, Gloriana decides to escalate. Tully
