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. ­­­­ See DONATION, Page A3

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 certified technician will check to ensure your child has the right seat and that it is installed correctly. They will also check for recalled or expired seats. Safe Kids Columbia County helps to provide low-cost and no-cost child safety seats to families in need through the generosity of the Tom Sargent Children’s Safety Center.

Columbia County has a new team of child passenger

safety seat technicians waiting to help with your child’s car seats and to help protect your child from unintentional harm when using car seats.

Safe Kids Columbia County has been hosting car seat events since 2006. The mission of Safe Kids Columbia County is to reduce unintentional childhood injuries and death.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

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

by

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.

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

Bascomb, presently in charge of the bowmen, is to launch an attack so they can surrender and reap the rewards. Seriousminded Tully, however, upsets all calculations when he and his bowmen do the last thing expected: they win.

The cast features Sierra Gregory as Gloriana, Logan

Gilbert-Renner as Tully Bascom, Anthony Harrell as Count Mountjoy, Anthony Hooker as David Benter, Kody Kemp as General Snippet, Ambrose Robinson as Professor Kokintz, Lauren Rogers as Mrs. Bascom, and Adam Lujan as Mr. Beston.

CIRCUS: stop by the big top being raised June 1 From PAGE A1

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

Firefighters ride to victory

Columbia River Fire & Rescue is victorious over the St. Helens Police Department in the annual donkey basketball game held in the St. Helens High School gym on April 20. The final score was 26-24.

Dutch Bros. hosts ALS fundraiser Day, all employees and loved ones proudly wear and proclaim the event slogan, “Drink One for Dane.”

“We all knew him as The Wiseman,” says Travis Boersma, surviving brother and company co-founder. “He lives on today…through our business, through his efforts, and just how he did what he did.”

Last year, Dutch Bros. contributed a recordbreaking $174,000 to MDA for research and family services funding.

Since becoming involved with MDA in 2007, Dutch Bros. has donated over $625,000.

“We have a great partner in Dutch Bros.,” said

MDA Executive Director Arlene Wedsted. “The Dutch Bros. team puts forth so much energy and enthusiasm for this event each year, and we are immensely grateful.”

ALS is a disease that affects the parts of the nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. There is no cure for ALS, and most people with ALS die within three to five years. To learn more about the MDA and ALS, visit mda.org.

Dutch Bros. has two locations in Columbia County – one on U.S. Highway 30 in St. Helens and another in Scappoose, also on Highway 30.

Country Financial representative Sheryl Teuscher donated Reddy Riders, a safety education program for kids, to the Head Start Programs, in Clatskanie/Rainier, St. Helens, Vernonia, Astoria, Warrenton, Seaside, Neah-kah-nie, Nestucca and Tillamook.

The program features Reddy Safety Dog and teaches students how to be safe when bicycling, in-line skating, skateboarding and riding scooters.

Teuscher provided the program free to 22 teachers, and 387 students.

“Safety begins before kids play. Reddy Riders was designed to teach children about the importance of safety gear and staying alert while playing,” said Teuscher. “Talk to your children about playing safe and equip them with the proper safety gear.”

Through safety education programs like Reddy Riders, Country Financial has made the health and safety of people a priority for more than 85 years.

Teuscher serves clients from her office at 112 West B St., in Rainier. She can be reached by calling 503-556-0186 or tollfree 800-743-8457.

Girl Scout fundraiser set for May 18 Girl Scout troop 11380 will host a “Rock-a-Thon” and bake sale on Saturday, May 18 from 5 a.m.–5 p.m. at Richardson’s Furniture on Columbia Boulevard in

St. Helens.

The sale and fundraiser is being held to hope raise funds for a trip to Europe the troop has planned for the summer.

Make a donation as they rock to the oldies in rocking chairs for 12 hours.

On Friday, May 3, all 198 Dutch Bros. Coffee locations in seven states will donate its proceeds to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), the world leader in fighting Lou Gehrig’s disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for May Day. The event kicks off ALS Awareness Month and is held annually in honor of company cofounder, Dane Boersma, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2005 and passed away in late 2009.

Dane’s memory continues to inspire everyone within the company to give their all every day. On MDA

each show, and some of those have already been presold,” said Chval.

“The chamber decided to sponsor this event because we desperately need insulation for our building,” said Chval. “We have zero insulation and this will help us save on our energy bills.”

Chval said the chamber hopes to raise $3,500 from the circus event, which would cover the cost of insulating the old train station the chamber is housed in.

“Down the road we’ll also have to look at painting the outside, too,” she added.

Skeeter the Clown will be coming though the area, visiting local schools and businesses to remind everyone about the upcoming event.

Entering its 23rd season, the Culpepper and Merriweather Circus, which is based in Hugo, Okla., has become known for its family-focused entertainment.

The big top circus has even been featured on National Geographic’s “Explorer TV” series, “Entertainment Tonight,” and in several major media outlets.

The circus was also featured on the A&E Channel’s “Under the Big Top” and most recently, “On the Road with Circus Kids”, a Nickelodeon special featured on the Nick News Program.

The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus started out in 1985 with Robert Johnson, Jim Hebert and Curtis Cainan. The three alternated announcing, performing and selling concessions during each performance for the first year. They didn’t sell tickets, instead relying on donations received from passing a hat at the end of each show. Over the years, they have managed to add employees – both the twolegged and four-legged varieties – to the show.

“As far as I know, we are getting tigers and performing dogs,” said Chval of the expected circus lineup. “Their Facebook page has a video clip of their dogs performing. They’re very proud of their acrobatics.”

The midway and box office will open at 1 p.m. and there will be two shows. The first show will be from 2–3:30 p.m. and the second show will be from 4:30–6 p.m.

Anyone interested in watching the big top being raised is invited to come from free on June 1 from 9:30–10 a.m., to be followed by a free tour.

For more information on purchasing tickets, go online to SCCChamber.org.

Lions riding 5-game streak into big week

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

This week features a pair of crucial games for the No. 9 St. Helens Lions (14-4, 7-2). The Lions enter the decisive week winners of five straight games.

That streak – while certainly impressive in its own right – is dwarfed by the 18game winning streak of the Lions’ first opponents of the week, the No. 6 Sandy Pioneers (18-1, 9-0). Those two teams squared off on April 30 in a game that could go a long way toward deciding who wins the Northwest Oregon Conference. Sandy took a 2-0 win from St. Helens earlier in the season.

There were no such setbacks for the Lions last week.

St. Helens shut out two of its three opponents.

plate with a double and three RBIs. Senior Sue Sass went 2-for-4 with a double to drive in a pair of runs.

The Lions broke the game open in the third inning when they sent nine batters to the plate and scored five runs.

Sass and Strawn both doubled in the third.

Sophomore Courtney Anderson led off the Lions’ next scoring rally with a pinch-hit triple in the bottom of the fifth. She scored on a double steal, and RBI singles from Strawn and freshman Ashley Giesbers accounted for the Lions’ final three runs.

TRACK & FIELD

Scappoose dominates opposition The Scappoose Indians outslugged, outpitched and downright outperformed their opponents during three Cowapa League softball games last week. The Indians (8-10, 5-4) outscored the Astoria Fishermen (6-13, 2-7) and the Tillamook Cheesemakers (4-11, 1-8) a combined 35-3 in those three games.

The Tribe opened with a 12-2 win over the Fishermen on April 23. Then Scappoose swept a doubleheader against Tillamook, winning the first game 15-1 and the second 8-0.

Against Astoria, 10 Indians recorded base hits and six of them had multi-hit games.

The teams were tied 2-2 after three innings before Scappoose outscored Astoria 10-0 over the final four frames.

Allison Wedgworth and Ashley MacInnis led the charge. They were each 3-for-3 with a double and two runs scored.

Freshman Kendal Bailey was 3-for-5 with a double. She also pitched a complete game for the win, allowing five hits and striking out five.

Juniors Sophia Hart and Lacey Updike and senior Cassidy Hoglund had two hits apiece for the Tribe.

It was more of the same against Tillamook.

In the first game, Updike struck out eight while throwing a two-hitter. Hart, Hoglund, junior Lexi Courtney and freshman Jessica Dykes all had two hits.

Scappoose did all of its damage offen-

Sherwood Bowmen (5-15, 36).

Sophomore Michelle Sass added an RBI single in the second inning that scored junior Karli Edwards.

Mulcahy made those three runs hold up, striking out a dozen Bowmen. She gave up four hits and walked only one.

The Lions tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth inning. Junior Kali Moore singled and eventually came home to score on an errant throw.

Moore finished 2-for-3.

Head coach Jeff Edwards pointed out the Lions were 3for-3 on stolen base attempts after going 6-for-6 on steals the night before.

“We mixed up our short game well,” Edwards said.

SCAPPOOSE — Charlie Davidson is rewriting the Scappoose High School record book one event at a time.

Last week Davidson became the first SHS girl to break the one-minute mark in the 400 meters. She won the event in a dual meet against Tillamook with a time of 59.77 seconds. The junior now owns four spots in the SHS record book and is eyeing a fifth.

Scappoose beat Tillamook in both the boys and girls duals, with the Indian girls taking a 115-26 win and the boys winning 84-61.

Entering the April 25 dual, Davidson owned school records in the 1,500, 800 and as part of the school’s top 4x400 relay team.

“She has obviously excelled in many different ways with her running, and add in a top10 finish last fall in cross country, she certainly has shown ability beyond any runner that we have had come through here, certainly that I have coached,” said Scappoose coach David Harley. “The coaches that I have talked with are most impressed with that range and flexibility, and the fact that she appears to be getting stronger each season.”

Davidson said she “really wanted” to break See TRIBE, Page B7

Behind dominating performances in the field events, the St. Helens Lions boys and girls track teams defeated the Rex Putnam Kingsmen on April 24.

The Lion girls won six of the seven field events to take an 84-60 victory. The boys won five field events en route to an 89-51 team win.

“Field events were the difference. It seemed we traded points on the track, but in both boys and girls field, we were stronger and deeper,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle.

The field events were again a strong point for St. Helens on April 26 at the McMinnville Invitational, but it was junior hurdler Thomas Hughes who stole the show.

In the dual meet against Putnam, junior Kylie Reinholdt won the long jump by more than three feet with a mark of 16-4.75. It was her first attempt at the event this season.

“Kylie wanted to try the long jump,” Tinkle said. “It is not really a surprise to those who know Kylie. She has speed, hops, and she is very competitive. Combine those and you get 16-4.75.”

Reinholdt also tied junior teammate Alyssa Holz for first place in the high jump (4-8) and added a win in the 100-meter dash.

Also tying for first were St. Helens freshmen Angela Willson and Athena Duggan in the pole vault.

Seniors Chelsee Rennie and Dana Sukau each won a throwing event, with Rennie finishing first in the discus and Sukau first in the javelin.

Senior Jillian Ross overcame injury to win the triple jump.

Tinkle said Ross and junior hurdler Alyna Habel are both battling injuries that the team hopes aren’t serious.

“That is a lot of points,” he said.

Sophomore Sydney Nett added a second sprint win by finishing first in the 200.

“Sydney’s times in the sprints are starting to drop,” Tinkle said.

The boys picked up another double win from senior Nathan Reed, who had the top marks in the javelin and the discus. Junior Jacob Zartman added a win in the shot put to give St. Helens a sweep of the throws.

Wins from junior Chris Gray in the pole vault and senior Jeff Steinke in the long jump helped St. Helens pile up the points in the field events.

On the track, junior Bryan Strang pulled off wins in both the 800 and 1,500.

St. Helens is settling into third place AURORA — A surge over the final seven holes catapulted the St. Helens Lions into third place during their April 23 Northwest Oregon Conference match at Langdon Farms Golf Club.

The Lions passed the Milwaukie Mustangs, Parkrose Broncos and Liberty Falcons in those final seven holes.

“Michael Hewlett and Jacob Roxey found the men-

tal toughness to battle through some rough spells and make some key pars at the end,” said St. Helens coach Dave Lawrence.

Those two finished with scores of 93 and 95, respectively. Senior Nathan Hunter led the Lions with a blistering first nine. He shot a 37 on the front and ended up with an 81 to tie for sixth place overall.

Junior Cody Teyema was

one stroke behind Hunter and ended up in eight place with an 82.

The Lions added another third-place finish on April 29 at The Resort at the Mountain, again finishing behind Wilsonville and Sherwood.

Full details from that match were not available at press time.

St. Helens will head to the Northwest Oregon Confer-

ence District Championship meet May 6-7 at The Reserve Golf Club in Aloha.

NOTES: The St. Helens JV team won for a second straight week. The JV team was led by Jordan Roark’s 8over 39 at Charbonneau Golf Course. St. Helens will try to keep its streak alive at the JV District Tournament April 29 at The Resort at the Mountain.

St. Helens junior Cody Teyema was eighth overall during an April 23 meet at Langdon Farms with a 11-over-par 82.

That was the only win the Lions could muster against

the Bowmen in an 8-1 defeat.

“We were just out-experienced and we will be like them in three years, as we have on our team nine freshmen who have improved a great deal in just one season,” said St. Helens coach Don Courtain.

The Lions switched up their lineup against the Bowmen to allow some traditionally singles players the opportunity to play doubles.

St. Helens wrapped up its dual match season with a trip to Wilsonville on April 30.

The Lions will compete in the Northwest Oregon Conference District Championship Tournament May 7-8.

In a busy week, the St. Helens Lions split up a pair of defeats with a 7-2 victory over the Liberty Falcons.

In addition to the win, St. Helens lost 6-3 to Sandy and 8-1 to Sherwood.

St. Helens also completed a match against Sandy that was postponed by darkness on March 12. Sandy also won that match by a 6-3 margin.

The Lions won three doubles matches against the Pioneers. Nikki Spreadborough and Thitika Pratuang won the longest match of the evening, taking a 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 win in

The bats were quiet for the St. Helens Lions (5-13, 3-9) during first two games of a three-game series against the Wilsonville Wildcats (12-9, 93) last week, but they swung the sticks in the third game.

Freshman Bryce Mulcahy ripped a two-run triple with two outs in the second inning to spark the scoring. That was followed by a ground rule double from sophomore Brody Takemoto as the Lions took a 3-1 lead.

But Wilsonville answered with six runs of its own in the bottom of the frame and went on to take a 13-8 win.

Senior Wyatt Mosley was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs and sophomore Bryson Takemoto drove in one run on 2-for-4 hitting. He had a single and a double.

Wilsonville kept St. Helens at bay in the first two games, a 7-1 Wildcat win and a 6-0 Wilsonville victory.

LIONS: bottom of the lineup hits big

From PAGE B1

St. Helens 4, Liberty 0 The bottom three hitters in the lineup combined to go 7for-9 and drove in three runs for St. Helens during a 4-0 win over the Liberty Falcons (11-9, 5-4) on April 26.

“My No. 7-8-9 batters recorded seven of our eight hits for the game. I don’t know if I remember seeing a stat like that,” said Jeff Edwards. “I’m glad they did.”

Karli Edwards was 2-for-3 in the No. 7 spot, Anderson was 3-for-3 with an RBI and a double in the No. 8 spot, and Strawn, the No. 9 batter, was 2for-3 with two RBIs. Anderson was filling in for sophomore Alyssa Giesbers at third base because Giesbers had been feeling ill.

“Courtney took full advantage of it, went 3-for-3, had a great game,” Edwards said.

Her one-out double sparked the Lions’ first scoring rally in the fifth inning. Michelle Sass drove in the team’s first run.

The Lions looked ready to break the game open in that inning when they loaded the bases with one out. A double play, however, ended the rally.

The Lions got right back to work in the sixth inning. Edwards followed a walk to Mulcahy with a base hit. Anderson drove in Mulcahy, then Strawn followed with a base hit

that scored Edwards and Anderson.

Following their showdown against the Pioneers, the Lions face the only other team to hand them a defeat in conference play this season, the Wilsonville Wildcats (14-6, 72). Those two entered the week tied for second place after Wilsonville dropped a 2-1 game to Putnam (4-15, 2-7) on April 26. They play in Wilsonville at 5 p.m. on May 1.

St. Helens plays at Milwaukie (2-18, 0-9) at 5 p.m. on May 3.

CH13-1011 NOTICE OF BUDGET COMMITTEE MEETING A public meeting of the Budget Committee of the Port of St. Helens, Columbia County, State of Oregon, to discuss the budget for the fiscal year July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, will be held at 100 E. Street, Columbia City, Oregon. The meeting will take place on Wednesday May 8, 2013 at 10:00 am.

The purpose of the meeting is to receive the budget message and to receive comment from the public on the budget. A copy of the budget document may be inspected or obtained on or after May 1, at 100 E. Street, Columbia City, Oregon, between the hours of 8:00 am and 5:00 pm; and a copy is available on the Port’s website at www.portsh.org CH13-1010 NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held before the City of St. Helens Planning Commission on Tuesday, May 14, 2013 at (or after) 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers, located in the City Hall building at 265 Strand Street, St. Helens, OR. Access into City Hall for this hearing will be from the plaza side entrance. The purpose of this hearing is to consider an application as follows: File No: Sign Code Adjustment (Variance) V.1.13 Applicant: Carlson Sign Co. for Les Schwab Tire Center Request: Variance to permit one more Freestanding sign than

Testimony from the public in both oral or written form is invited. The hearing will be conducted in accordance with those procedures found in the City Development Code (SHMC Title 17) Chapter 17.24 and any rules of procedure adopted by the City Council. The Planning Commission is authorized to approve, deny, or approve this application with conditions, based on the following criteria: SHMC 17.88.135 (2)(a)-(c): (a) Any reference to “zoning district” shall be substituted with “Sign districts” per SHMC 17.88.050; (b) The requested adjustment shall not result from actions of the applicant, owner(s) or previous owner(s), or from personal circumstances of the applicant, owner(s) or previous owner(s), such as physical condition, age of financial situation; and © Approval of the adjustment will not adversely affect the function or appearance of the development and use of the subject property and surrounding properties; and will not impose limitations on other properties and signage in the area including signage that would be allowed on adjacent properties.

SHMC 17.108.050 (1)(a)-(c): (a) The proposed variance will not be significantly detrimental in its consequence to the overall purposes of this code, be in conflict with the applicable policies of the comprehensive plan, to any other applicable policies and standards of this code, and be significantly detrimental in its consequence to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity; (b) There are special circumstances that exist which are peculiar to the lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning district; © The use proposed will be the same as permitted under this code and city standards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land; (d) Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to traffic, drainage, dramatic landforms, or parks, will not be adversely affected any more that would occur if the development were located as specified in the code; and (e) The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.

Failure to raise an issue, including constitutional or other issues relating to any proposed conditions of approval, in this hearing, in person, or by letter, or failure to raise an issue accompanied by statements or evidence sufficient to afford the approving authority an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes appeal to the applicable appellate jurisdiction (e.g. the Land Use Board of Appeals, LUBA) on that issue, and precludes an action for damages in circuit court.

The application file is located at City Hall (265 Strand Street, St. Helens, OR) and all documents in the file are available for inspection.

Boosters bring in big money at Lite up the Nite The St. Helens Sports Boosters grossed more than $31,000 at the 14th annual Lite Up the Nite Auction and Dance on April 27.

Club treasurer Sherry

Welter said she was still tallying up expenses but the net profit looks to be higher than last year’s $25,000.

Of that money, a little more than $5,000 went di-

rectly into a fund to help demolish and reconstruct the tennis courts at St. Helens High School. The Boosters are currently undertaking that project and

its nearly $200,000 price tag.

Welter said there were roughly 230 people in attendance at the auction.

SHHS: Hughes highlights invitational

From PAGE B1

At McMinnville, Hughes hurdled his way to personal records in both the high and intermediate hurdles. He won the 110 and was second in the 300 with times of 15.65 seconds and 40.96 seconds.

“Thomas had a big PR in the highs. We have been working on his technique. He has more improvement to make,

but his time showed the work that he has done already. He PR’d in the 300s too,” Tinkle said.

Hughes, along with Strang, Steinke and Reed, combined for a win in the 4x400 relay.

Reed took third place in the discus and senior Dillon Crook was second in the javelin.

Tinkle said the team relaxed a bit after having a heavy workload in recent weeks.

“McMinnville was a nice, laid back meet for us. There was some good competition, but the meet was small. We were a little bit tired having six meets in three weeks,” he said.

Reinholdt starred in the girls competition. She won the high jump and triple jump, and took fourth in the 100.

Senior Megan Waite gave St. Helens a victory in the 800 meters. Freshman Amy Sum-

Indians win one of three The Scappoose Indians (8-12, 4-6) blew out the Seaside Seagulls (8-11, 37) on April 24. The Tribe followed that with two close losses to the leagueleading Astoria Fishermen (12-6, 8-2).

The Indians put up 17 runs in a shutout victory over the Seagulls.

Two nights later, Scappoose couldn’t get its bats rolling against Astoria.

The Fishermen escaped Scappoose with a 2-0 win on April 26. It was a different story but the same result on April 29 in Astoria, when the Fishermen emerged with a 13-10 victory.

the record in the 400 and now is aiming to erase Jenny Elder’s name from the top of the 3,000-meter list. Elder set the record in that event in 2009 with a time of 10:34.

“Harley really wants me to beat that. I’m pretty sure I can beat that,” Davidson said. “I think I’m 20 seconds off, maybe; maybe 15 seconds. But it’s only been two times that I’ve ran it – once my freshman year, once this year.”

When she ran it this year – in her first meet of the season – she finished in 10:51.

“It is not unusual for an athlete to hold records in some combination of 400/800/4x4 or 200/400/4x4, but I can’t think of anyone having such range to be able to add a 1,500 to the mix,” Harley said. “With her opening season 10:51 at 3,000 set over a month ago she is now in the top-six in class 4A at 400-3,000 meters.”

Davidson had plenty of help from her teammates against the Cheesemakers. The Indians won every event but the 3,000.

Freshman Kayleigh Horecky won every event she entered – the 100, 200, 4x100 and long jump.

Freshman Eleanor Jones also posted a perfect day, winning both hurdle races and anchoring the 4x100 relay.

Junior Abby Kessi added wins in the 800 and 1,500.

Seniors Arden Jones and Carly DiPietro and freshman Jessie Powell all pulled off double wins in field events, with Jones taking the shot and discus; DiPietro winning the pole vault and triple jump; and Powell winning the javelin and high jump.

Scappoose freshman Eleanor Jones won both hurdle races against Tillamook on April 25.

CENTENNIAL INVITATIONAL Charlie Davidson finished ninth in the 800 meters at the Centennial Invitational on April 27. She clocked a time of 2:20. Grant’s Piper Donaghu won in 2:12.

Davidson was the only SHS athlete to compete.

“Arden Jones is really improving fast in the throws and Jessie Powell had a very good pair of wins in the high jump and javelin, as did Kayleigh Horecky in the 100 and long jump,” Harley said.

The boys outsprinted Tillamook, but the Cheesemakers made up some points in the distance events.

Junior Justice Oman won the 200 and 400, and senior Paul Revis won the 100.

Those two helped the

4x400 relay team to a victory, and Revis anchored the 4x100 team to victory. They also went 1-2 in the long jump, with Revis winning at 21-5.5 and Oman second at 21-1.25.

Junior Kenny Klippel won the shot put and javelin and was second to teammate Jabin Pedro in the discus.

Harley said senior Jadyn Harris’s 2.5-second victory in the 300 hurdles was another bright spot.

“I thought that Jadyn really ran a great 300 intermediate hurdle race and also a very fast leg with our 4x400 ‘B’ team,” Harley said.

Harris finished the hurdles in 41.25 seconds — .16 seconds faster than his sixth-place time at last year’s state meet.

Scappoose has a dual meet at Seaside at 3:30 p.m. on May 1. A handful of Indians will compete at the Nike/Jesuit Twilight Relays on May 3.
