Extra funds, furlough days create tension in budget talks BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Teachers, parents and students packed into the St. Helens School District boardroom for a heavily debated May 15 budget meeting. While there may not have been enough chairs for everyone, there certainly was no shortage of opinions on how the district is handling its finances. At the heart of much of the debate around the district’s finances is approximately $1.5 million in additional funds the district has come into. “Last Thursday, the Department of Education notified all districts of state estimate and ADMw adjustments for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 years. Usually this means a loss of revenue. This time adjustments were made in favor of most districts across the state,” said District Superintendent Mark Davalos. This adjustment came from the Average Daily Membership/weighted rate, which is a per student rate that is included in the state’s calculation of funding for each district. For the 2011-12 and 2012-13 fiscal years, that number was expected to be $3,906.78. In turn, that would have put the district’s funding for 2011-12 at $16.4 million and for 2012-13 at $16.6 million. However, the ADMw rate actually came in at $3,922.36, creating an additional $663,000 in revenue. This is not the first time in recent memory the district has found itself with additional revenue resources. According to district finance manager Janine Salisbury, the district’s annual audit (completed in December 2012) showed a variance of $780,000. Going back to 2002, the average variance is just under $450,000. The high-

est variance years came in 2008 and 2010, which had variances of approximately $1.1 million each year. The variance for the 2012-13 general fund came from the common school fund; oil, gas and rent royalties, property taxes and state school support. Also, $184,000 in expenses was moved from the general fund to federal grant fund expenses. “Over the years some grant expenses had been recorded in the general fund even though the grant revenue was being recorded in the special revenue funds. We needed to fix that. So I documented that for the auditors and they approved it,” said Salisbury. “It was a major adjustment to clean things up.” Many would like to see those “extra” funds, and possibly some of the reserve funds, go towards reducing the number of furlough days and hiring back teachers. “The unions were understandably concerned that we knew about that $780,000 in late December and January when we were negotiating with them,” Salisbury said. “From our perspective it wasn’t enough because the governor’s budget was published Nov. 30 and it was $6.125 billion and we were looking at huge cuts. We would have had a huge deficit even with the $780,000. The Ways and Means budget came out in early March, after we had agreed on rolling forward the contracts.” With an expected $27.5 million in revenue, along with $660,000 from the additional funds, the district is still looking at a budget shortfall of nearly $600,000. To adjust for this, the budget committee has proposed four furlough days, instead of the original six for a savings of See BUDGET, Page A4

New boats will help CCSO patrol area rivers BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Thanks to a special program with the Oregon Marine Board, the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office will soon have two new patrol boats at their disposal. Like many of the vehicles in the Sheriff’s Office fleet, its existing patrol boats are aging and in need of replacement. The two new boats will replace five older Sheriff’s Office boats. One of the boats is a 25-foot offshore Alumaweld manufactured in White City, Ore., and comes equipped with twin four-stroke, 150 horsepower outboard motors that are compliant with Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resource Board stringent air-quality standards. “We are very excited to have these new boats from the Marine Board. Our aging fleet had put us in a bind when it came to water safety in the

ST. HELENS — On Friday, May 10, Portland resident Ryan Anderson decided to spend the afternoon kayaking with friends off Sauvie Island. Anderson had no idea his time on the river could have easily had a tragic outcome. “I started at the last beach on Sauvie Island, the beach at the end of the road,” said Anderson. “I was alone. My friend wanted to see if her dog was capable of riding with her on her kayak, so we only brought one. When she was done, I decided to give her kayak a try (no dog with me).” After kayaking for just about a half an hour, Anderson’s kayak flipped leaving him to float in the river. Not surprisingly, Anderson said the 58-degree F water left him in a slight state of shock and some of the specifics of what happened next are still a little fuzzy. At more than 6 feet tall, Anderson admits he knew his friend’s kayak (made for someone around 5 and ½ feet tall) was too small for him but thought he could manage anyway. “I decided to try to go to the other side and back,” he said. “I did make it to the other side [of the river], it was coming back that was the problem.” Anderson paddled across the river, a trip he said that took around 30 minutes to make. Limited by the small stature of the kayak, Anderson said he had to paddle very carefully. “If I paddled too strongly, it would dip the kayak and take in water,” he said. But despite his careful measures, the kayak rolled, dumping him in the water. Although he’s an experienced kayaker, Anderson wasn’t able to roll the kayak back over and get back in. For the next hour, Anderson – who was wearing a lifejacket – floated along in the chilly waters trying to get help. Eventually, a lone boater, possibly a fisherman, pulled him from the water and ferried him back to his friends on Sauvie Island. Anderson doesn’t remember the name of the man who pulled him from the river, but he’s hoping to get the word out so the man will contact him. “He was very adamant about in dropping me off with my group,” Anderson added. “He gave me his name but in my sense of shock I have since forgotten it. I am trying to find him so that I may thank him.” If you are Anderson’s mystery rescuer, please contact The Chronicle at 503-397-0116.

CAT member named champion of service

ST. HELENS — Community Action Team member Cindy Peake is now certified in housing counseling, foreclosure intervention and default counseling. CAT serves a total population of more than 110,000 people in Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties, and is the only HUD-approved agency providing housing counseling services within this service area for low-to-moderate income households. Peake started with CAT in November of 2004, bringing with her eight years of mortgage background, and 20 years of crisis management skills with her.

Cindy Peake

Using these skills, Cindy works with clients to assist them in determining the most appropriate option for their current housing situation. Housing options

might include buying their first home, renting their first apartment, preventing foreclosure of their current home or transitioning into the next phase of housing. An example of Peake’s dedication to service can be seen in her recent work with a foreclosure prevention client. Peake began working with the client in November 2011. The client and her husband were going through a rough patch financially. She was working but her husband’s business in construction had been drastically reduced due to the economy. Peake worked with the

clients, submitting their paperwork requesting a modification several times. The couple received a trial modification for July–September 2012 and their final modification – which saved the client nearly $1,800 a month – came through just a couple of months later. Peake has always counseled her clients that the road is not an easy one in terms of getting a modification. She says, “We have to submit and submit and submit paperwork. It is trying and wears your patience thin – but there are days when the results are super!”

Public Health Foundation manager slated to serve Jana Mann, WIC program manager for the Public Health Foundation, will serve this year as the president-elect of the Oregon WIC Association, and is preparing to serve as president during the 2014-15 term. OWCA is comprised of all county WIC coordinators and does problem solving and makes recommendations to the Oregon Health Authority on WIC matters. “I’m looking forward to helping promote community partnerships through OWCA,” said Mann. New 2012 WIC facts show that WIC clients spent $883,015 on food at Columbia County retailers, including farmers markets. Because of the federal sequestration, the amount of vouchers available for farmers markets this year drops from 1,250 last year to 257 packets this year. Mann

nance and reconstruction of parks, streets, sewer, water facilities, operating vehicles and power tools. This position requires a valid Oregon Driver’s License.

said vouchers will be handed out on a lottery basis. “It’s unfortunate. The farmers vouchers were very popular and we’ve had people asking about them for months,” she said.

Sheri Duren, WIC’s lactation specialist, reports that under the Affordable Care Act, breast pumps will be covered by insurance, including the Oregon Health Plan. Women are encouraged to ask

their medical providers for a prescription/voucher as they prepare for the birth, but WIC will continue to provide breast pumps as the ACA phases in. “It will be confusing for a while,” said Duren.

St. Helens offers building rehab for historic district

BUDGET: discussions have been going on since February From PAGE A1 $320,000, and adding a half-time counselor at the middle school ($45,000 in expense). “What the heck are we doing? We’re supposed to be educating children. But we’re busy saving money, busy putting money in a bank and hoping,” said St. Helens High School teacher Keith Meeuwsen. “With that $660,000 we could get all the days back... a whole school year. The problem the district has gotten themselves into is that once you cut days, you have to cut days forever. Or you have to cut something else.” Meeuswen wasn’t the only teacher displeased by the proposed budget. Fellow St. Helens High School language arts teacher Dusty Humphries expressed his frustration as well. “I deserve to be told

The most visible of the city’s restoration projects was the facade improvement to the Masonic Building at 231/235 S. First St.

The City of St. Helens is offering up to four grants for as much as $3,250 each to assist with restoration work to eligible historic buildings in the St. Helens Downtown Historic District. Eligible buildings are properties that contribute to the St. Helens Downtown Historic District by being individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places or classified as primary significant or secondary significant within the district. Notification letters were mailed to qualifying building owners on May 8. Information about the grant program, along with a complete application packet, is available on the city’s website at www.ci.st-helens.or.us/services/landuse-planning/historic-preservation. Information can also be obtained through the city’s Planning Department, by visit-

ing city hall or calling 503-366-8215. A complete application packet and supporting documentation must be submitted to the planning department by June 28 for consideration. The St. Helens Historic Landmarks Commission will review all applications before grants are awarded. Grant applications are judged based on a number of criteria, including whether or not the project creates a positive economic impact, if the project repairs or replaces deteriorating historic features that are visible from the street,

and whether or not there is an immediate need for the project to be completed. This is the second year that the city has offered exterior rehabilitation grants for eligible historic buildings. The grants are funded by a federal apportionment to Oregon via the National Parks Service and are administered by the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. For further information regarding the CLG grants, please contact City Planner Jacob Graichen at 503-366-8214.

Elks Teen for April St. Helens High School has announced that Alexi Malmedal has been selected as the Elks Teen of the Month for April. After learning she had been selected as the Elks Teen, Alexi said, “I am Alexi Malmedal deeply honored. I mean, WOW! There are so many qualified seniors and I can’t believe I’m receiving this big award. I can’t wait to tell my parents!” Alexi’s teachers say she is just as genuine as her comments suggest. “She is a wonderful young woman who is involved in everything, wants to help everyone and thinks that anything is possible,” said teacher Keith Meeuwsen. Alexi is involved in so many projects and activities, as well as her studies, that it can be hard to keep track of her. The one thing you will find when you do finally catch up with her is her smile. She is described as extremely positive and always seems to be smiling and happy about what she is doing. Alexi is also well respected by her peers. As one teacher noted, “In the first senior class meeting, you could tell that Alexi was in charge and that people needed to pay attention to what was being said.” Her teacher has seen a lot of senior

class meetings but is really impressed with how Alexi carries herself, and how confident and positive she is, even when quieting the masses. Alexi is also described as a fantastic leader at school and as someone who has worked very hard to make this school year a fun and interesting place to be. Alexi is involved in LINK crew, yearbook, SoundFX, A Cappella Choir, Key Club, student council, Leadership, served as president of the senior class, president of Key Club, president of the choir and the list goes on and on. It would be very difficult to find someone more involved in school than Alexi. She also very excited to begin the next chapter of her life this fall as a Mountaineer at Eastern Oregon University. She plans on studying to become an elementary school teacher with an ESL accreditation and a master’s degree. Alexi feels her best quality is how outgoing she is. She claims to have been a very shy person and that she has had to work very hard at being outgoing and feels that by pushing herself to be this outgoing person she has been able to accomplish all of the things that she has done so far. As for interests, Alexi is a huge memory person and has pictures and scrapbooks everywhere. She also likes working in the dementia unit at St. Helens Avamere as well as doing things with her family. Congratulations, Alexi!

the truth. As much antiunion rhetoric as there is out there, my colleagues and I showed with the contract we signed – and signed again – that we are willing to compromise. We are willing to sacrifice for the sake of doing what we thought was best for our students,” Humphries said. “In return we are lied to. We are manipulated. And so it feels, we are stolen from.” Although the budget discussions have been going on since February, they are far from over. The budget committee will meet again on May 30 to review additional proposed changes from the May 15 meeting. The final budget is expected to be adopted at a June 12 public hearing and school board work session. For more information about the budget or upcoming meetings, go to www.sthelens.k12.or.us.

Food that’s in when school is out

From PAGE A1

The St. Helens School District is sponsoring the Summer Food Service Program, which runs June 17–Aug. 23. Breakfast and lunch are provided to all children through the age of 18 years old at no cost; parents and caregivers may purchase meals at a nominal charge. The program will be held at Lewis & Clark Elementary School and Campbell Park. Breakfast (at Lewis & Clark only) will be from 7:30-9 a.m., and lunch will be from 11 a.m.–noon. For parents and caregivers, the cost for an adult breakfast will be $1.25 and an adult lunch is $2.50 Watch for fun family activities throughout the summer. These lunch programs were made possible, in part, by the City of St. Helens, The Chronicle, Hudson Garbage, and KOHI.

used for law enforcement vehicles and is retiring older boats and replacing them with newer models that require less fuel and maintenance. The replacement program is also intended to match equipment to the specific needs of each agency and is based on the bodies of water being patrolled and the specific types of responses needed. Columbia County traded its five older Marine Board boats for a value of $56,500 and combined with $90,000 of Marine Board state boater funds for a total cost of $146,500. The Columbia County marine program currently has two full-time marine deputies and seven reserve deputies assigned to the county’s rescue and marine operations. Columbia County has approximately 20,411 surface acres of patrolled water and includes the Columbia, Nehalem, Clatskanie, and Gilbert Rivers and the Multnomah Channel.

Grants Pass. The aluminum jet boat is equipped with a 6-liter, fuel injected engine that produces low carbon emissions and has better fuel efficiency than boats built prior to 2006. This jet propulsion boat is capable of being operated in a variety of conditions including a water depth as little as six inches, on a full plane, with a carrying capacity of 1,200 pounds and max speed of 40 MPH. The boat is ideal for varying water levels and will allow marine deputies to respond to emergency situations quickly. The five, older patrol boats were built and put into service between 1988 and 1996. The average age of these boats is 19 years. The average age of the current Oregon State Marine Board boat fleet statewide is 15 years. The Oregon Marine Board developed a procurement and retention schedule similar those

My uncle returned home to family, loved ones and friends, but… something. Over the years he would be helped by family, friends and organizations with shelter, food, clothing and money, which everyone knew would wind up in various taverns and bars from San Diego to Seattle. My own experience would be in the fall of 1974. While at the Pendleton Roundup I called my Vietnam War buddy to chew him out for missing the rodeo again. His mother told me in a wavering voice that “he had been found in his car and had passed.” I came home to a wife, home, college and a job. For him – he was not as fortunate. My wife and I did not have much in those days,

yet I told him I would find money for a bus or train ticket in the naive hope that a little time together maybe we could find an answer. Now with a decade of war (and the possibility with more to come), I believe that virtually every veteran and family now has had a similar experience – service men and women that, for what every reason, have left us way too soon and too early in life. This Memorial Day, as days past and hopefully in the future, the young helping hands of the Boy Scouts of America and the aged hands of veterans and auxiliary members of various organizations will place a small token of this nation’s appreciation to show the devotion of these men and women to this country. Again for the most part these men and women’s names are not on the memorials, monuments and the wall – they lay in the common graves with common markers but I hope that they will be in our memories and forever their names will be etched on our hearts. David Teuscher, Rainier Credit union elections The annual meeting and elections for the St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union board of directors is scheduled for June 25, in the Scappoose High School auditorium. The candidates are Lea Chitwood (current chairperson), Steven Correl and Seth Holmes. There are two seats open. If you have access to your account online

and receive e-statements, you can find the candidates’ bios with some expert searching. I am writing to ask you to mark your calendar. Also, I believe the meeting should be in St. Helens. This is the 75th anniversary year of the credit union in the city of St. Helens. The credit union was originally formed to serve the employees of the St. Helens Pulp and Paper Company and the Jaite Company. One way to give back to the community is to have members gather together in the city of its birth. Please attend the meeting, speak up and vote for transparency in your credit union’s management. Paulette Lichatowich, Columbia City Abolish the IRS Peggy Noonan’s “No Ordinary Scandal” (Wall Street Journal, May 18-19) exposes in great detail the abuse of power the Internal Revenue Service exercised recently though this is nothing new. The 1972 Nixon administration was infamous for its “enemies list” and using the IRS as a weapon. Now the Treasury-IRS, whose head serves at the will of the president, has confessed to targeting conservative groups. The treasury used the application for a 501(c)4 non-profit status to demand donor lists. You can bet those lists are on numerous government data bases by now; stretching from the treasury to the EPA. Juxtaposition that against the fact not a single pro-

gressive/liberal group was similarly targeted. Like the sheriff of Nottingham, the treasury took up the cause of an administration believing they were above the law. The real problem is, they probably are. In years past the Wall

Street Journal would send out a complex tax circumstance to 10 CPA firms and invariably would get back 10 different tax liabilities. This exercise revealed that IRS rules were arbitrary and could be interpreted at will. This gives the treasury the

appearance of innocence in picking who gets audited. Abolish the IRS. Go to a national sales tax. Citizens need to know they‘re not at risk when opposing “Nottingham.” Wayne Mayo, Scappoose

Food for Thought

The Columbia County Local Food Guide is coming… You think you know a place! You’ve lived in Columbia County your whole life, and then someone comes along and shows you a few breathtaking waterfalls off a familiar road, or maybe takes you to a restaurant you’ve never heard of and is now your new favorite. It’s like being given a tour of your own home and then someone thumps the wall a couple of times and a secret door pops open. When this happens you naturally go through a flurry of emotions; first excitement at this new and fun thing, next it’s befuddlement that you managed to miss this gem for so long while it was sitting right there under your nose this whole time, and then you slip into irritation that

But, sometimes after saying that, they’d then follow up with a possible lead to suchand-such farm just down the way on blah-blah road. Over the almost two years I’ve been here I have found some of the hidden gems out there and many of those gems have agreed to be in this year’s soon-to-be-published local food guide.

As Assembly of God ministers they served congregations and communities in Iowa, South Dakota, Missouri, Texas and California. During their time in Des Moines, Iowa, Dee was nominated as Working Woman of the Year and was on television. She didn’t win but was offered a job by a government agency in Washington D.C. She declined because her heart was to be a minister and minister’s wife. A central theme of her life was to help and serve the many people in need that crossed her path. While pastoring in Missouri in 1972 she went back to college to pursue her passion for music and earned a Bachelor of Arts in voice, graduating magna cum laude.

Memorial Day Memorial Day

After 1868 – Decoration Day was celebrated by most states on May 30. The end of spring was chosen because flowers across the nation would be in bloom and could be used to decorate the graves. The event also grew to honor fallen soldiers from all wars, not just the Civil War and the name was changed to Memorial Day. In 1971, President Richard Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday to be recognized on the last Monday in May. Over the years Memorial Day has evolved. It is not limited to honoring only those Americans who died from serving in the armed forces. It is also a day for personal reflection. Families and individuals pay tribute to their loved ones who have died, by visiting the cemeteries, decorating all the graves with wreathes, flowers and flags; and sharing the rich heritage and stories of their ancestors with younger generations. While you are enjoying the long weekend; take a moment to remember.

practice. The next several years were difficult as she was highly intelligent, with a passion for public speaking and reading. As her illness progressed, Wayne – her husband of 60 years – became her full-time caregiver. In the last year Laurie Walker came to help six hours a day with Dee’s care. Her love and care for Dee was a tremendous help to Wayne and the family. Dee is survived by her husband, Wayne Sullivan; son Kevin (and his wife LaVena); daughters Cheryl Sullivan, Rita Franklin and Dawn Zieger (and her husband Bobby); 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Her surviving brothers and sisters include Al Faatz, Nancy Erickson, Betty Bjornlie, Larry Faatz and Paul Faatz. She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Lydia Faatz; stepdad Forrest Overton; sisters Elaine Walker and LaVonne Faatz, and sonin-law Tim Franklin. She accomplished so much in her life and helped many but above all she loved God with all her heart, which gave her hope and now an eternity with Christ. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, June 1 at 11 a.m. at Columbia River Foursquare Church at 555 Commons Drive in St. Helens.

Originally known as Decoration Day; it is controversial whether it was the ladies of the “South” or the Grand Army of the Republic in the “North” who were most responsible for beginning the tradition of decorating the graves and publicly mourning the loss of the thousands of soldiers who died during the Civil War. What is most important is that they were united in decorating all graves – both Union and Confederate.

Call for artists City council schedules The Columbian Artists Association and the Longview Parks and Recreation Dept. are seeking artists to exhibit and sell their fine arts and crafts at its fourth annual juried Art in the Park event. The event is scheduled for Aug. 17 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. in Hemlock Plaza at Lake Sacajawea Park in Longview, Wash. The group is also seeking nonprofit food vendors. The focus will be on quality fine arts and crafts including woodcarving, pottery, oils, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, mixed

also loved teaching Sunday school classes and directed many summer camps and church choirs. Wayne and Dee had four children Kevin, Cheryl, Rita and Dawn. After all the kids had graduated, Wayne and Dee traveled for a year as evangelists. During that time they recorded an album in Nashville. She had a solo on the album titled “Lord I Can’t Live Without You.” The album was called “In His Service.” They went back to full time pastoral ministry in Texas and later to Los Angeles, Calif., to be closer to the majority of their children. Dee became interested in counseling psychology with a Christian perspective and with Wayne earned a Doctorate in Clinical Counseling. Eventually they moved to St. Helens, where Dee opened Lifeline Counseling and Training Center. Wayne joined her where they served from 1994–2001. Her lifelong desire to serve and help others carried over to many residents in Columbia County. She never turned anyone away. Dee was also asked to serve the county courts with various programs designed for those coming through the court system. In 2001 Dee was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. With great sadness, she closed the

Among the pieces the Chorale will perform are “Anthem,” from the musical “Chess,” along with “O, America!” originally written for the group Celtic Woman; and James Weldon Johnson’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which has been called the black national anthem. Themes covered in the program

range from reflections on starlight, the change of seasons, and hope for healing, to the times our flag was rescued from the rubble of a disaster and flown as a sign of courage. Notable composers featured in the concert are Michael W. Smith, Irving Berlin, and Northwest native Morten Lauridsen, who composed a

central piece of the Chorale’s last performance, “Lux Aeterna.” The concert will be conducted by Columbia Chorale’s A.J. Wong, who holds a Bachelor of Arts in vocal performance from St. Olaf College, a Master of Arts in teaching music from Pacific University and is currently studying for a

master’s in music education from University of Montana. He is currently working as music director at Parkrose Community United Church of Christ, principal director of Beati Chorum, and artistic director of the Liedertafel Harmonie. Chris Wilson will accompany the choir on the piano. The Columbia Chorale of Oregon has had more than 11 years of experience, and in that time they have “premiered new music… sung at Carnegie Hall in New York City… and have won the interest of many renowned critics.” For further information, contact Max Burns, vice-chair of the board of directors for Columbia Chorale of Oregon by email at Odaxcir@gmail.com or call 503-397-7908.
