Water rate hike held over SCAPPOOSE — Residents in Scappoose have been granted a reprieve from proposed water and wastewater rate hikes. The Scappoose City Council has tabled a resolution to increase the fixed cost rate by nearly 76 percent.

“The fixed cost portion of the rates haven’t been adjusted since 2003,” said City Manager Jon Hanken during an Aug. 19 council meeting.

Hanked also noted that while the fixed cost piece of the rate structure may be going up by more than 75 percent, the average customer will see an increase in their bill of about 34 percent.

That’s because the fixed cost element of the city’s pricing structure only makes up about 52 percent of the total bill. The variable cost portion (the rate per gallon) makes up the remainder of the bill.

Currently, residential water customers with a ¾-inch meter (which account for about 95 percent of all water meters in the city) using 7,500 gallons of water a month pay $44.20 a month.

Of that amount, $15.70 is the fixed cost portion and $28.50 is the amount for water used, also known as the commodity rate.

Under the new rate structure, that same customer would now pay $59.20 per month, with the variable cost potion remaining at $28.50 and the fixed cost portion rising to $30.70.

The city’s goal is to have each portion of the cost structure make up about 50 percent of the total bill.

“If adopted, the water rate increase is projected to provide approximately $425,000 in revenues into the water fund,” said Hanken.

Those monies will be used to help pay for deferred maintenance costs the city is incurring.

“The council has to make sure the city can meet its financial obligations while also looking to the future,” said Hanken.

According to Hanken, the city needs to replace more ­­­­ See WATER, Page A4

Can voters save the jail?

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

An inmate sits alone in a nearly empty pod at the county jail. The county commissioners have placed a levy on the November ballot to provide funding for the jail, which is facing an uncertain financial future.

County hopes levy will solve jail financial crisis

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Just as they said they would, the Columbia County Commissioners have placed a measure for a fouryear local option levy to support the county jail on the November ballot.

The local option levy would add $.5957 per $1,000 of assessed value to property taxes; which would add an estimated $2.29 million in revenues in the 2014-15 fiscal year, $2.36 million in 2015-16, $2.43 million in 2016-17 and $2.5 million in 2017-18.

“We decided to put this special

levy on the November ballot to fund our operations of our jail. First and foremost, this is being proposed by the board of commissioners, this is not a

sheriff’s levy,” said Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller.

“This is not about law enforcement or patrols, or anything like that.”

Having more beds available for local inmates would come as welcome news to not just the sheriff’s office but to local police agencies, the district attorney’s office and the community at large.

“The simple fact is we have good police officers, we have good judges and district attorneys, and they’re working hard to make our community safer as best they can.

But we don’t have the resources to incarcerate those who should be incarcerated,” added Heiumuller.

St. Helens man arrested after Unemployment dog bites Portland officer holding steady PORTLAND — A St. Helens man was arrested

by Portland Police after the man’s dog bit one of its officers. Police from Portland’s central precinct were on routine “walks and talks” patrol around Terry Schrunk Plaza on Aug. 16, to enforce the city’s sidewalk ordinance and to wake people who were sleeping or camping in the plaza. According to the report, one of the officers stepped into the street to take a picture of a campsite for documentation purposes when a man’s dog lunged at her and bit her on the left arm.

The dog’s owner, 22-yearold Daniel Thompson grabbed onto the dog and became verbally abusive to the police officers. The dog

was described as a large, mixedbreed dog.

As officers were waiting for Mult- Daniel Thompson nomah County Animal Control to respond and take custody of the dog, Thompson was said to have raised his voice and was verbally abusive to the officers. Thompson then lost control of the unleashed dog, which then turned on him and began biting his right arm, tearing the skin and causing several puncture wounds.

A sergeant brought a dog

pole and took control of the animal and Thompson was taken into custody after he struggled with officers.

Thompson was arrested for interfering with a peace officer and resisting arrest.

Thompson was also issued citations related to the sidewalk ordinance and his uncontrolled dog.

After his arrest, officers discovered that he is a registered sex offender out of St. Helens. Officers will continue to investigate whether or not he is out of compliance with the law.

After receiving medical treatment for his arm, Thompson was booked into the Multnomah County Jail.

The officer bitten by the dog suffered a bite bruise on her arm but no broken skin.

Gas prices drop just in time for end of summer travel

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

Drivers heading out on the road for a final holiday weekend will find gas prices have dropped.

Drivers headed out on the road for Labor Day weekend will get a slight break at the gas pump. Average retail gas prices in Oregon have fallen 3 cents per gallon in just the past week.

According to GasBuddy.com’s daily survey of more than 1,300 gas outlets in Oregon, the average price is $3.7d6 per gallon. That rate is still quite a bit higher than the national

average of $3.57 per gallon.

In Columbia County, gas prices dropped below the state average. Prices at the Shell stations in Scappoose ranged between $3.67 and $3.71, while the price per gallon for regular unleaded gas was $3.74 at the Shell station in St. Helens.

Texaco in St. Helens also had regular unleaded gas at $3.74 per gallon and Chevron was at $3.77 per gallon. ­­­­ See GAS, Page A4

Oregon’s unemployment rate for July was 8.0 percent, an increase from the prior month’s rate of 7.8 percent but nearly a full percentage point lower than July 2012’s rate of 8.8 percent.

The state’s unemployment rate continues to be above the national rate and that didn’t change in July.

The national unemployment rate for July was 7.4 percent. That marks a slight decline from the June 2013 rate of 7.6 percent.

The national rate also saw improvement over the same period last year. The July 2012 rate was 8.2 percent.

While Columbia County’s unemployment rate continues to be higher than both the national and state unemployment rates, the county has seen some improvement of the year.

For July 2013, Columbia County’s unemployment rate was 8.2 percent, which was the exact same rate for June 2013. While unemployment rates may not be improving from month to month, July’s rate was markedly better than the July 2012 rate of 9.6 percent.

For our neighboring counties, unemployment rates again seem to be on hold. In Clatsop County, the July 2013 unemployment rate was 7.1 percent, virtually unchanged from June. But that rate was a definite improvement over July 2012’s rate of 7.8 percent.

In Tillamook County, the July 2013 rate was 7.6

percent, the same as in June. Again, the current unemployment rate improved greatly over last year. The July 2012 rate was 8.7 percent.

For Multnomah County, the July 2013 unemployment rate was 7.1 percent, the same as in June, but better than the July 2012 rate of 7.7 percent.

Although the unemployment rate held steady when compared to the prior month, the same can’t be said for total nonfarm employment. July saw a loss of 380 jobs in Columbia County from the prior month, much of those coming from transportation and local government jobs.

In the private sector, construction and manufacturing saw increases of around 30 jobs each.

Leisure and hospitality also added 30 jobs, while education and health services added another 10.

Unfortunately, the gains in those sectors were essentially wiped out when the transportation sector lost 40 jobs and paper manufacturing lost another 10 jobs.

For the public sector, federal government jobs remained unchanged while 10 jobs were added to the state government sector.

That minor gain was overwhelmed by the reduction of 430 jobs in local education, most of which will be gained back when the school year resumes.

Unemployment and jobs numbers for August will be released near the end of September.

Keep an eye out for spotted wing drosophila in your yard

A3

8/19/13 12:48 PM Page 1

BY DENISE RUTTAN OSU Extension Service

As backyard fruit ripens, it’s time for gardeners to trap spotted wing drosophila.

A new, easy-to-make trap design, based on recent research, will help gardeners monitor the invasive vinegar fly’s presence in their backyards.

The tiny spotted wing drosophila resembles other small fruit flies but is distinctive for its yellowish-brown body, red eyes and dark unbroken bands encircling its abdomen.

This tenacious invasive pest lays its eggs in ripening stone fruits and berries.

Amy Dreves, a researcher for Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences and entomologist for the OSU Extension Service, is investigating this Asian fly that was first identified in Oregon in 2009.

“Our research is very much detective work because this invasive pest is so new in our area and still has a lot of unknowns,” said Dreves. “There is a lot to understand about its biology and behavior, where it likes to hide during the winter months and during which fruit stage it lays eggs. This information is important in order to develop effective tools for managing it.”

OSU researchers are working with organic and conventional fruit growers in Oregon to help test new trap designs and attractive baits on farms. Among their findings: traps with bigger entrances and a red color catch more flies.

Gardeners can use this research, too.

A trap can tell gardeners if the flies are present in their yard, and it can help reduce the numbers of the pest, according to Dreves.

Now is still a good time to set up traps, as lots of fruit is harvested in August and September.

But next year start monitoring for the fly in early April.

To create a homemade monitoring trap, use a red 18-ounce plastic cup with a lid.

Drill several holes, each about three-sixteenth inch wide, around the side of the upper third of the cup. Another option is to glue a rectangular piece of plastic canvas mesh to the side of an open area cut into the cup measuring about 1.5 inches by 4 inches.

Then, fill the cup with 1.5 inches of pure apple cider vinegar and a drop of non-fragrant liquid soap.

Data have shown that the adult fly is also drawn to a yeast solution. Instead of the vinegar, you could make a solution with one tablespoon active dry baker’s yeast, four tablespoons sugar and 12 ounces water.

Attach a heavy-coated wire, strap, or durable twist tie to the top of the cup. Hang it from the shady, cooler side of the plant near the level of the fruit to capture adults. Refresh the bait once per week. Improved trap designs and baits are also under investigation.

A red plastic cup is a good choice to make a homemade trap to monitor for spotted wing Drosophila. Use plastic canvas mesh available from fabric stores

To scout for larvae in the fruit, collect suspect fruit and crush it in a sealable plastic bag. Prepare a solution of salt or light brown sugar-water one day in advance and pour it in the plastic bag. Dissolve one cup salt or 2.5 cups brown sugar per one gallon of warm water. Shake lightly and observe.

Small, white legless larvae should float to the top, if present. Good lighting is important.

Dreves also advises against adding infested fruit to your compost pile. You can, however, place infested fruit in a shallow hole in the ground, then cover and seal it tightly with a clear plastic sheet. The heat of the sun will kill the larvae inside the fruit.

Other methods of managing the fly include picking fruit often as soon as it ripens, keeping it cold, and immediately cleaning up fruit that is left on the plant or has fallen on the ground. Dreves recommends these practices to help keep populations of the fly from growing.

“It’s not a quick fix with spotted wing drosophila. A lot of people want a silver bullet.

But it will take a combination of strategies to manage this challenging pest,” Dreves said.

PUD warns customers of phone scam Columbia River PUD customers should be wary of giving out information over the telephone, especially with a scam targeting utility customers in the area reported for the second time this year.

This week, a PUD customer reported receiving a call threatening to disconnect power if payment wasn’t made immediately over the phone via credit card, or by purchasing a pre-paid credit card and calling back with the code. Two PUD customers reported receiving similar calls last April, and other utilities throughout the northwest have reported that similar calls have been placed to their customers this year.

“This type of telephone scam seems to be growing more common,” said Sheila

Duehring, accounting and customer service manager for CRPUD. “If you have any doubts about a caller’s identity, don’t give them any information.”

Customers who receive suspicious phone calls are encouraged to note the phone number on their caller ID, the phone number they are asked to call with the payment information, and any other information the caller may provide. End the call without providing any information to the caller and then contact the local police at 503-397-333 and Columbia River PUD at (503) 397-0590 to report the call.

The PUD provides several types of notification to customers who are facing disconnection for nonpayment,

including mailed notices, door hangers and phone calls; and also offers several payment options, including visiting local pay stations, visiting the PUD office, or paying online at www.crpud.net.

“We would never demand a payment only by credit card or prepaid credit card,” said Duehring. “We’ll always offer other payment options, so if that’s the only choice being offered, it’s not the PUD calling you.”

If you receive a suspicious call: • Write down the phone number you are asked to call with payment information.

• Write down any other information the caller provides.

• Hang up and call the police and the PUD to report the call.

than eight miles of water lines coming from the city’s primary water sources up in the hills above Scappoose.

That project would likely have a price tag of nearly $10 million.

While the additional $15 a month being tacked on to customer bills may seem small, many of those packed into the standing room only council chambers said the increases were too steep to adjust to quickly.

Some of the council members agreed.

“It’s too much, too fast,” said Councilor Jeff Erickson.

Instead, the council has asked city staff to look at incremental increases over time. When the city last looked at raising water rates in 2009, it was proposed the city bump up rates by $5 each year for three years.

alone. Doing $5 increases each year won’t get us there,” Hanken said.

Some of that budget shortfall can be blamed on a continuing weakened economy.

Prior to the start of the recession in 2007, the city was issuing dozens on new home building permits each year. Those permits often bring in $10,000–$15,000 in system development charges, which are used to help pay for replacing and upgrading infrastructure. Since 2007, the number of new homes being built has dropped to just a handful each year.

“Local governments have been subsidizing water utilities for years,” said Mayor Scott Burge.

The city council will take up the discussion on the proposed rate hikes at its next council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Scappoose City Council meetings are held in council chambers at city hall beginning at 7 p.m.

having to pay for the beds they use when local officers arrest them and bring them to us.”

With federal inmates providing for a substantial portion of the jail’s operation revenue, why not rent out more beds?

“We currently have over 140 empty beds that we could rent out to other agencies, but for the federal beds, they depend on federal arrests, which are down in Oregon. We have reached out to other sheriffs, but none have expressed an interest in bed space in our jail. The state will pay $92 per night to use a bed, and they have a few of those in our custody right now. But that number is not dependable, and nothing upon which to build a budget,” Dickerson offered.

What will happen if the voters don’t pass the levy?

Dickerson said that while he can’t predict the future, that future doesn’t look bright.

“Without additional revenue from somewhere, I believe the cost of operating the jail facility in Columbia County will be unsustainable, and the jail will be forced to close,” Dickerson said. “We would then rent a small number of beds outside this county to house our worst offenders.”

COLORCOPIES

What has many in the community, including the sheriff and the county commissioners, more concerned about is the number of inmates being released early. Since the beginning of 2013, there have been more than 500 forced releases (inmates released earlier than what they were sentenced to) at the jail.

“The bottom line is we built a larger jail back in 2001, the people of this county wanted a bigger facility and wanted to incarcerate more prisoners. At that time it was decided the general fund would fund the jail for a year or two to see what the true costs were going to be,” said Heimuller.

However, the original bond used to build the jail did not include funds to provide for ongoing operations.

Also, local city agencies do not pay to house inmates at the jail. Dickerson says other county jails in Oregon do have partnerships with their cities to pay for the beds they use.

“In our case, years ago when the jail was being built, the county agreed with the cities not to charge 6/22/12 them for bed use. The larger cities in the county have saved millions of dollars over the years by not

has widened to more than 15 cents today, the largest disparity since May 14.”

Including the change in gas prices in Oregon during the past week, prices yesterday were 19.4 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 11.9 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 10.8 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 13.0 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.

“Americans are now shelling out $50 million less per day than they were last year when pump prices averaged 13-cents more per gallon,” said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. “Most states are seeing their average below last year, and as summer slowly fades, gasoline prices may as well in many communities. Cooler weather typically brings relief as demand declines and discretionary travel ebbs. I expect that pump prices may drift lower over the next few days, much focus remains on the tropics.”

Despite the recent decreases, the current national average is the fourth highest price for this date behind 2008 ($3.80), 2012 ($3.69) and 2011 ($3.61). The current Oregon average is the thirdhighest on record for this date behind 2008 ($3.98), 2011 ($3.74) and 2012 ($3.87).

The national average is down about 7 cents a gallon for the month so far, while the Oregon average is down about 6 cents since August 1.

This is in contrast to August of last year when the national average soared 33 cents.

In 2010, the national average declined by 5.9 cents in August and dropped 8.9 cents in August of 2011.

AAA says gas prices can be volatile during the month of August because of latesummer hurricanes and the accompanying refinery issues, which can disrupt production, distribution and gasoline supply at a time when thousands of Oregonians are filling up their tanks for a last summer trip.

Letters Heartfelt thanks The Ralph Painter Memorial Run would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who participated in and supported the Third annual Ralph Painter Memorial Run. Thank you to our wonderful sponsors whose generosity was beyond anything we ever expected.

We had wide representation from several law enforcement agencies, which made race day so special. We cannot thank you enough for your support and your on-going dedication to the protection of the citizens in your communities. Thank you to everyone who participated in and/or supported this great event. It was a huge success this year and youth in Columbia County will greatly benefit from your generosity. The event also raised several pounds of food for the Rainier Food Bank, which again, is due to your overwhelming support.

Thank you for continuing to honor Ralph’s memory and his spirit of community and giving.

Julie Heuer, Ralph Painter Memorial Run Grateful I feel we don’t give enough praise to the good done in our community and I want to give a big thank you to the person who found my purse at Safeway on Thursday, Aug. 15, and to the wonderful people we have working there. Thanks to you all.

Speedbump

Think about it American media is describing President Obama’s Egypt policy as a “balancing act.” I don’t think so. To my sense, Obama is concealing his real policy of support toward Egypt’s military and its coup.

This is simply another case of U.S. interventionism in deciding what government other nations should have. We are providing the armament that Egypt’s military needed to overthrow Morsi. Then, we are outraged when those weapons are used for their intended purpose?

Preferring Egypt’s military to the elected Morsi Islamic government means that the U.S. will reap in kind to the seeds America is sowing. That harvest is Islamics resorting to terrorism against our country.

Ending our 65-year history of interventionism in other countries’ affairs would yield our own country quite a bit of freedom from international strife as well as relief from trillions of dollars in military spending, as well as preserved life and limb of our soldiers.

Think about it.

Bob Ekstrom, Scappoose Keep prisoners in jail On Tuesday, jail levy language was filed with the Columbia County Elections office. Commissioners referred the levy to the November ballot because lack of funds threaten to close the county jail altogether. Without the levy, the jail is predicted to have to shut down by the end of 2013.

Already 500 prisoners have been released from the jail this year. Those that are sentenced are likely to only spend one or two nights in jail because of costs.

“If we must close the jail due to lack of funding our communities will be less safe. It will negatively affect our property values and our quality of life,” said Columbia County Commissioner Earl Fisher.

“It’s critical the levy pass on November 5th to support our local businesses and citizens,” believes Trent Dolyniuk, owner of Blackbird Catering in St. Helens.

Many have come out in favor the levy including, CEO Jeff Kemp of Pacific Stainless, the Columbia County Commissioners, Senator Betsy Johnson, Representative Brad Witt, Sheriff Jeff Dickerson and Columbia City Mayor Cheryl Young.

The measure calls for a 58-cent increase per thousand dollar assessed property value. It would raise the money needed for the $10 million deficit, funding for the 100 worst offenders to be maintained at the prison. The levy would last four years, then would have to be re-approved by the voters.

The People Power of Revitalization

BY MELISSA SERAFIN St. Helens Economic Development Corp.

There is a common misconception that communities are powerless to larger economic forces. That we must sit back and wait out a weak economy, and just hope we make it. That we are merely small, insignifi-

cant players with no real control over our economic situation.

This misconception doesn’t get us anywhere; in fact, it leaves us feeling hopeless.

Economists and development experts all agree that communities have much more control over the local economy than we think, and that there are an endless number of projects communities can pursue to revitalize

towns. While we despair about the larger economic situation, we ignore all the local, micro opportunities we could take advantage of. We don’t need to wait for a national upswing.

If we take advantage of our resources and assets, we can change our entire economic condition.

This is particularly the case now, as local economies no

longer operate as they once did: human and creative capital drive economic growth. Before the emergence of this new economy, we depended on recruiting large companies and facilities by offering inexpensive locations and an inexpensive labor force. The actual qualities of the area were almost irrelevant; people moved to find jobs.

Now people move to areas

with high qualities of life, attracted by vibrant commercial districts, cultural opportunities, and recreational activities. Thriving towns now take advantage of their assets to attract new businesses and new people by strengthening these characteristics and taking pride in all things local.

Tips for avoiding rental scams

BY LILLIE ANDERSON OSU Extension Service

It is almost September and for me that means it’s time for the new AmeriCorps members to move on in and the past members to move on out (the OSU Extension Service is still looking for an AmeriCorps member for the 2013-14 year,

to find more information please visit Columbia County’s OSU Extension Service website).

With all of the changing of jobs and moving to new locations, I have been hearing lots of horror stories of friends having their identities stolen or money being scammed from them through phony rental ads.

A recent search on Craiglist. org revealed just how rampant

rental scams are. I found at least seven postings on the first page that were obvious scams; “landlords” requesting cash only deposits or a gorgeous three bedroom house in downtown Portland being offered for only $500 a month. But after assisting my friends in their apartment search I found not all scams are that easy to spot.

Over the past month I encoun-

of trouble. The most common scam con-artists use is posting ads for currently vacant homes which are renting for an unbelievably cheap price, often times there are even photos of the house. Many people believe if there are photos it must be legitimate. However, many of these photos are copied straight off of a realtor’s website. Chances are if it seems too good to be true, it

is. The best method to weed out these types of scams is to search the address independently of the rental site. If the address shows up as a foreclosure or for sale then you know the posting is not legitimate.

If an address search appears to check out, then the next obvious red flags can be found ­­­­ See SENSE, Page A6

and open manner, you are likely to achieve a higher level of cooperation than if you deliberately obfuscate, withhold and mislead. Unfortunately, I observed more of the latter occurring in this meeting. As an example, I was appalled that the only way the Port will share any information with the public is if a request for public records is filed, fees are paid for staff and attorney time, and more than a week can pass before the records are provided.

When I suggested that public documents could easily be made available online, this suggestion met with such resistance and ridiculous arguments that I was astonished that the commissioners did not immediately exercise their obligation to direct staff to comply.

As I am sure you know, Table 8 Port of St. Helens S.W.O.T. Analysis in the Port of St. Helens Strategic Business Plan - August, 2012 – identifies one of the Port’s weaknesses as, “Lack of public education about Port functions.” Further, under Section IV. Plan Elements, A. Management, the Port set as a goal to “Continue to improve strategic government, constituent and private business relationships.” It is impossible to understand how the Port expects to overcome this weakness and meet this goal by following current policies.

I was challenged by one of the commissioners to suggest how they could disseminate information in a more efficient and effective manner.

With this in mind, I visited the City of St. Helens and asked what they do and was told that, prior to every city council meeting, the agenda and copies of all documents related to each agenda item are posted online. Copies of submittals at the meeting are provided online after the meeting. If someone wants a copy of a public records maintained at the City, a copy is made while the person is at the counter and the person is charged a copy charge. If the document is not readily available, the city may assess a $20 deposit prior to researching and compiling the information, but this deposit is not routinely required. The city seems to be a model that the Port would do well to emulate in terms of openness and transparency.

Then I went to the county and was told that requests for public records are routed through the Director of Human Resources, who was not available at the time. Then, I went to Land Development Services and asked for a copy of a pending comprehensive plan amendment and zoning change application. Although I would have been permitted to examine it at the counter (without a 15-minute time limit), I opted for the offer to have it emailed to me. This is another example of how a public agency can serve the public.

According the biographical information on the Port’s website, Mr. Trapp appears to have a background in the Coast Guard and education in Homeland Security and

National Defense. While this type of training may be relevant in certain circumstances, I suggest that it would be in the Port’s best interest to provide guidance to Mr. Trapp to ensure that his apparent interest in keeping information “close to the vest” is overridden by the public’s right to that very information, and that all unreasonable impediments to sharing that information should be promptly removed.

Further, I would urge the Commissioners, themselves, to think carefully about how they answer verbal and written questions and to try to be as open and forthright as possible so as to build trust with the public. Please remember that this is public agency and that the Commissioners and staff are public servants.

I realize this is an openended communication, but I would appreciate a response and your assurances that you are revising your operating procedures to accommodate the public’s right to information without obstacles and delays. Specifically, I would like to see the following changes implemented, and believe these changes could be made with minimal time and effort: 1. Copies of all meeting agendas with copies of all documents being considered at such meetings to be posted on the Port’s website at least three days prior to each meeting.

2. If additional documents are submitted or reviewed at the meeting, copies to be made available to the attending public, and copies posted to the website immediately following the meeting.

3. Resolutions considered at Port meetings should contain sufficient specificity so that the relevant details of the action taken are clearly stated.

4. Any public documents readily available without research should be made available at the counter for a copy charge only. If extensive research or compilation is required, additional fees for staff time may be charged.

5. Except for documents previously identified as confidential for legitimate reasons by Port legal counsel, no documents will be subject to legal review and redaction, and no fees for legal review will be charged to anyone requesting a copy.

6. Documents under review by the Commissioners, such as the tariff, will be posted to the website on a regular basis, and designated as drafts if they are not in final form.

7. The Port’s website will be modified to provide for public comments. This will enable feedback to be delivered to the Port on pending matters and will provide some relief to individual Commissioners from responding to blanket emails from constituents.

8. Post to the Port’s website a copy of the Code of Ordinances and Resolutions referenced in the Port’s Strategic Business Plan.

Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy email. I look forward to a positive response from you within a week.

James T. Snyder James T. “Jim” Snyder, 90, passed away Monday, Aug. 5, at Meadow Park Health And Specialty Care in St. Helens.

Jim was born May 8, 1923, James Snyder to John Charles and Vivian (Taggart) Snyder in Williston, N. D. Jim was raised in Williston with his three brothers, Jack, Fritz, and Rich, and his sister, Billiette.

He was very active in sports, especially basketball, and music, becoming profi-

COMMUNITY: From PAGE A5

These are things we can change and improve on the local level. We can provide support for our small businesses and encourage entrepreneurship. We can make St. Helens an inviting, physically appealing place. We can promote our town as a great place to live, work, and play. We can encourage community pride and involvement. These are all necessary steps towards revitalization.

There are groups, activities, and commitments fitting every time constraint and interest.

SHEDCO has developed a number of great projects, and we continue to take on more. Spend a lot of time on Facebook or interested in web design? Help out with our free social media and website creation workshops for small businesses. Interested in art?

We install local artwork into vacant storefronts, providing free publicity for the artist and enhancing the appearance of the property. More businessminded? We’re currently developing a business plan competition. We’re also building partnerships with small business assistance nonprofits like MercyCorps Northwest. Love community events? We organized the Fourth of July Celebration in collaboration with 13 Nights this year, and we’re planning more events in the future. The South Columbia County Chamber of Commerce also provides a variety of opportunities for involvement in the business community, including the low-commitment Koffee Klatsches every first and third Friday of the month.

They’re a great way to meet and network with small business owners.

The one commitment everyone can make is the attempt to shop local. You don’t need to purchase everything in St. Helens to make a difference either: according to Buy Local Lincoln County, if their county population reallocates 10% of their discretionary spending to local businesses, more than $10 million additional income would stay in their county.

This adds about $4 million in employee wages, creating jobs. Though we’re not Lincoln County, we do have a comparable population, and the concept still applies. Why wait for a big company or facility to move here when we can create jobs ourselves?

We have a lot to be proud of, and we have a lot of assets to build on. Our community has a strong sense of history and culture, and we’re small enough so most people are connected in some way or another. We have several service-minded groups, a Chamber of Commerce with an extremely talented Member Services Manager, and a countless number of involved residents dedicated to this community. By shifting our focus slightly towards the local economy, a vibrant, healthy economic situation could be an attainable shortterm goal.

These projects don’t develop, manage, or implement themselves. They take time, money, resources, and volunteers. There is one absolute necessity to revitalizing our economy: people.

Revitalization doesn’t just happen; it takes the power of the people and community support. Community involvement, support, and dedication will take us where we want to be. We need you. What can you do to help?

cient at the trombone, during his school years. He graduated from Williston High School in 1941.

Jim, along with his brother Jack, took over management duties at the movie theaters in Williston, which eventually included a drivein theatre and two theaters in Wolf Point, Mont. He met Beverly Monson, during her employment at the theaters, and the two eventually married in 1962, in Williston.

They had two children, Taggart Jay and Shayne Louise, who – when they were old Enough – joined mom and dad for “theater duty.” Jim’s beloved Beverly passed away in 1987. The theaters were sold by 1995 and it was then that Jim retired and found time to hop in the Caddy and visit the grandkids in Oregon or visit friends and relatives spread out over much of the country.

Jim enjoyed movies, jazz, deer and goose hunting, taking the grandkids to Medora and just generally spending

in the emails. You may be very excited when you get an email saying the apartment in question is still available and you can drive by and check out the apartment anytime you want, however make sure you read the email carefully. Did you notice any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes?

Over half of the scam emails I received had some sort of misspelling or strange phrasing. Not all mistakes are the sign of a scam, perhaps the person you are emailing with is a little sloppy or unprofessional, either way you should be wary of emails with blatant mistakes.

Most scammers prefer to use email instead of phone, and even less will be bold enough to meet you in person.

If the “landlord” claims to be out of town, or the state, or even the country, and does not have a local contact you can meet and deal with in person, get out quickly. No matter if the person claims to be on a mission helping children in Africa (an actual reason I received once) or just started a new job and had to move to a different state immediately (another real excuse) do not

Jim is survived by his two children, Taggart Snyder of Mandan, N.D., and Shayne Snyder of Scappoose; four grandchildren, Taylor Vlastelicia, Cassidy Vlastelicia, Aidan Vlastelicia, and Evan Barham, all of Scappoose; four sisters-in-law, Jeanne Snyder, of Phoenix, Ariz., Dorothy Berce, of Fargo, N.D., Betty Powell, of Minot, N.D., and Jackie Klimpel, of Rochester, Minn.; and many nieces and nephews.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents; his wife Beverly; his three brothers, Jack, Fritz, and Richard; and his sister, Billiette Snyder.

A memorial will be held on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 1–4 p.m., at the Best Western in St. Helens, and on Sept. 14 in Williston.

provide any personal information.

On the uncommon occasion that you do happen to meet a scammer in real life there are a few ways to protect yourself. Always keep a paper trail. Get a photo copy of everything and do not sign anything unless they will provide you a copy immediately.

Never give cash as a deposit or rent. Although dealing in cash may be your preferred method, it is very easy for a con-artist to disappear with your cash, not to mention the fact that even legitimate landlords may lie and claim they never received the cash.

Finally confirm the identity of who is renting to you. Ask for an ID, if you feel there is something suspicious go with your gut and run a background check.

If you find yourself in contact with a scammer report the person and ad immediately. Report the fraudulent ad to website you found it on and go to the Federal Trade Commission website to file an online complaint. If you meet the con-artist in person, report them to your local police department (perhaps even get their picture). Although none of these suggestions are completely foolproof, following them will help you avoid many potentially nasty experiences.

Columbia Theatre reopens with benefit for humane society Weekly Meetings ST. HELENS – A new day will soon dawn for one of St. Helens’ oldest and grandest buildings. The historic – and newly renovated and thoroughly spruced up – Columbia Theatre in Olde Town will celebrate its grand reopening on Friday, Aug. 23 New owners Lance and Leah Tillotson have really put the shine on this gem. A new state-of-the-art sound system complements the updated screen technology that will usher patrons into the fantasy world of new movies. The best news is that movie tickets will now be only $4 for adults and $3 for children, seniors and military personnel. All movies are double features, so enjoy two movies for just the price of one. Sundays and Tuesdays feature 3-D movies for just a dollar more.

The theater has a moviecentric menu with favorites like fresh, soft-serve ice creams and homemade milkshakes, along with traditional movie favorites such as freshly popped popcorn, ice cold soft drinks, candy and snacks.

But the grand reopening isn’t just about showing off.

The Columbia Theatre is also committed to making a positive difference in Columbia

August 21, 2013 THE PLANNING COMMISSION Guy Letourneau, Chairman CH13-2017 NOTICE OF COUNTY MEASURE ELECTION COLUMBIA COUNTY Notice is hereby given that on Tuesday, November 5, 2013 A measure election will be held in Columbia County, Oregon.

The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the county’s voters on this date: CAPTION (10 Words) Four-Year Local Option Levy for Jail Operations QUESTION (20 Words) Shall Columbia County levy $0.5797/$1000.00 of assessed value for four years beginning in 2014-2015 for jail operations? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than three percent.

SUMMARY (175 Words) In 1998, County voters approved construction of a new jail with a 255 bed capacity without corresponding operating funds. The County General Fund and bed rentals have supported Jail operations for 13 years.

The cost to supervise, feed, clothe and provide health care for a larger inmate population is now known to be much greater than the costs to run the old Jail.

The County General Fund has experienced financial deficits in the last several years and can no longer sufficiently support jail operations, leading to a reduced maximum bed capacity (25 for local inmates). The continued operation of the Jail in any capacity is dependant upon Federal bed rentals.

Federal bed rentals are not guaranteed. The city governments in Columbia County currently pay nothing for use of the Jail for City inmates.

The proposed levy would restore 75 beds for local use, fund five additional corrections deputies one technician and one supervisory position, and provide constitutionally required food, clothing, management and health care to inmates.

The estimated money raised will be $2,287,572 in FY 2015, $2,356,199 in FY 2016, $2,426,885 in FY 2017, and $2,499,691 in FY 2018 for an estimated total levy of $9,570,348.

The following authorized county official hereby certifies the above ballot title is true and complete.

TIMOTHY J. CALDERBANK, OSB#972242 Attorney for Trustee NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS* The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for OCTOBER 11, 2013 The date of this sale may be postponed.

Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property.

After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place.

The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant.

If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move , the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing.

THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 90 days or at the end of your fixed term lease. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property.

Otherwise: *You do not owe rent: *The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and *You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you.

The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 90 days or before your fixed term lease expires. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy.

IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free. Information about whom to contact for free legal assistance is included with this notice.

Thousands of runners and walkers will come through Columbia County this weekend as part of the Hood to Coast Relay, the ‘largest relay in the world.’

All those – isms are gone when you’re stuck in a van sharing the last sip of water. When you see them coming, you’re out of the van cheering – cheering for complete strangers.”

Orr is getting ready for her third Hood to Coast and it will be with a third different team. Unlike some participants, she does run year-round. Last month she completed the Firecracker Quadzilla — a marathon each day July 4-7.

Aside from their experiences running the relay in the past, Orr and Mahlum have another built-in advantage: They run right past their homes.

“It’s a huge bonus to have someone on your team from Columbia County – whether from Scappoose or Saint H. It’s a huge asset to the team to have those resources,” said Orr, who lives in St. Helens.

Mahlum said each member of her team stops at her Scappoose home to get at least a quick sleep in a real bed rather than in the van.

“We are spoiled because we have the house. We stop and shower, usually have real food, which is a total luxury,” she said.

ST. HELENS — Mid-August is the right time for records to fall at River City Speedway.

Dick Gaboury and Kylee Dorie both established new track records in their respective divisions on Aug. 17. Gaboury drove his No. 51 4-cylinder around the quarter-mile clay oval in 15.688 seconds. In the tracer division, Dorie’s 15.516-second lap was enough to put her atop the record book.

Coincidentally, both of those records were set on the same day four years ago. Gaboury topped Justin McMullen’s mark of 15.735 seconds while Dorie bettered Matt Jenner’s 15.876-second lap. The two previous records were set on Aug. 15, 2009.

Dorie was able to cap her record-setting night with a main event victory, while Gaboury ended up in second place behind Travis Koch.

Chris Gaboury Jr. won the trophy dash in the 4-cylinder division and Josh Sheller won the tracer division’s dash.

Greg Lane had the fastest lap in the Pacific mini sprint division and added a main event victory. Bret Lane won that division’s trophy dash.

Don Jenner finished ahead of Clark Tenney in both the main event and the trophy dash for the modifieds. Tenney had that division’s fastest lap.

It was a clean sweep for Ryan Martinez in the dwarf car division, as he took the checkered flag in both the main event and trophy dash, and had the fastest lap.

Cody Smith won the street stock main event. Aaron Prettyman won the dash and Aaron Snook had the fastest lap.

Bud Russell won the A main event and had the fastest lap in the sportsman division. Dan Smith won the trophy dash. Joel Beehler won B main in that division.

Next on the schedule is the two-day race Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 at River City Speedway.

Fall teams showcase Caching our way around skills this Saturday

GIRLS SOCCER

Fall sports officially got underway on Aug. 19. Most local teams are in the midst of tryouts or daily doubles this week.

For St. Helens High School fall sports teams, the first week of official practices will culminate in a Lion Fall Preview Showcase on Aug. 24. The Scappoose High School football team will hold its annual intrasquad scrimmage that day as well.

Both events are open to the public.

At St. Helens, the activities get started at 9 a.m. with the volleyball team and girls soccer team each holding scrimmages.

The soccer scrimmage will be on the SHHS football field and vol-

leyball will be in the gym.

Boys soccer will follow on the football field at 9:45.

The SHHS football scrimmage will cap the activities. It is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.

The St. Helens Sports Boosters Club will have barbecue burgers at the field near the end of the football scrimmage.

At Scappoose, the football team will have its pictures at 9 a.m., with the scrimmage to follow.

Both schools’ cross country teams will be running the 132mile Muscle Milk Portland to Coast High School Challenge that weekend.

atitude and longitude left my mind a long time ago. The only time I pay them any attention these days is when I’m cruising south on I-5 and see the marker that tells me I’m halfway between the Equator and the North Pole.

That changed last week.

Those lines that circle the globe were front and center on my mind for two straight days. Why? Geocaching.

Kyle Boggs If you’re anything like I was a couple years ago, you have no idea what geocaching is. The first time I heard about it I was on the phone with Tom Halligan, who was in Hawaii. He and his wife were about to go geocaching, he told me.

“Geocaching?” I asked.

“Yeah, it’s like a scavenger hunt you do with your smartphone,” he told me.

For Tom, it meant hikes to mountain peaks overlooking the Pacific Ocean and all of Hawaii’s natural beauty. I can’t say the geocache hunt I went on mirrored that of the Hawaiian tropics, but Columbia County has plenty of its own beauty to boast and a lot of it can be seen while tracking down the dozen geocaches put out by the Columbia Soil and Water Conservation District.

Seven Mile split For the second straight year, the St. Helens and Scappoose high school girls soccer programs squared off against one another in the summertime as a fundraiser for two local preschools.

Whereas Scappoose won both scrimmages last year, this year’s series was a split. And neither match was close.

St. Helens won the first match, 7-2, in Scappoose on Aug.

14. The Indians responded with a 4-0 win in St. Helens on Aug. 16.

A pair of sophomores stole the show as far as goal scoring is concerned. Ashley Giesbers scored five goals for St. Helens in the opener. For Scappoose, Lucy Davidson had at least two goals in both games.

Weekend Fishing Opportunities Summer steelhead fishing is fair to good in the lower Columbia River.

Fall chinook season is open from Buoy 10 upstream to the border Oregon/Washington above McNary Dam. Fall chinook fishing is good at Buoy 10, and catches in the mainstem below Bonneville should im-

prove over the next two weeks.

Sturgeon retention is open from The Dalles Dam upstream to John Day Dam. Walleye fishing is good in Troutdale.

This also means a significant change in your schedule. You’ll need to often start putting together a schedule where you are trying to squeeze a workout into a very small amount of time.

You’re going to need to be creative, as many of you won’t have a 90-minute free slot of time to get your workout in. For those that do, that’s great, but the majority of you will struggle to find a spare bit of time in your schedule.

So, here are a few handy tips to help you schedule that workout in, and in

some cases, do your workout throughout the day.

As we all know, in a few short weeks, those lovely little darlings that have been hanging around all summer have to go back to school and get back on a schedule. No more staying up late, Simon Date sleeping in until noon, or having large chunks of time in the day to fill with activities. On Sept.

CLUB SOCCER

FCCC combines for four medals at Mt. Hood Challenge A handful of FC Columbia County soccer teams competed in the 2013 Mt. Hood Challenge with two teams bringing home silver medals and two more teams ending up in third place for their division.

The FCCC U13 Hot Shots girls squad took second place in the silver division Aug. 1618. The team tied its first two matches – 3-3 and 0-0 before winning in penalty kicks to reach the finals.

In the championship match, Hot Shots dropped a 2-1 contest to the Crossfire Select Explosion.

Coach Jim Stafford said that the team – made up of players from Scappoose and St. Helens – has done a good job of coming together to compete against established club teams. “I am very proud of how

the girls played this weekend.

Bumping up to the silver division, we knew it was going to be rough but our girls held their own and proved we are capable of being competitive at that level,� he said.

Last year, the team took second place in the bronze division.

The U14 girls squad took a similar road to a second-place finish. FCCC tied its first two matches, then won in PKs in the third match before falling in the finals.

It was the Timber Barons who took a 1-0 victory over FCCC’s U14 squad.

Penalty kicks turned out to be the norm for Columbia County teams over the weekend. The U12 girls team took two matches into PKs. The team started with a 0-0 tie, then won 1-0 on the

strength of a goal from Emma Kessi. That win set up a rematch the following day against the same team. In the second go-round, the teams finished regulation tied 0-0.

The teams were tied after the standard five penalty kicks, sending them into sudden death. FCCC ended up falling in the second round of sudden death.

Marissa Liao batted away five of seven PKs to keep FCCC alive that long. “It was really amazing to watch the emotions these kids went through. A heartbreak loss ended up putting us into the consolation final, playing for third and fourth place,� said coach Darren Irwin.

In the last game, Mackenzie Carlson put the team ahead 10 near the end of the first half.

Midway through the second

team had a tougher go, finishing 0-4. Crystal Clear dropped the first match, 8-0, then played tough in a 1-0 defeat.

Tyler Schwalge scored a pair of goals in a 6-2 loss on Aug. 17.

In the final game, BSC of Portland took an 8-1 win over

half, however, the opposition tied the match and sent FCCC to penalty kicks once again.

This time, Liao’s saves keyed a victory for Columbia County.

There were no penalty kicks for the U13 boys Fire and Ice squad, which also took home bronze medals.

Fire and Ice won its first game, 2-0, then followed with a 5-4 victory. In the semifinals, the Bend FC Timbers took a 41 win over Fire and Ice. FCCC won its final game of the tournament, 1-0, to finish third out of 10 teams in the division. “Standouts to me were Weston Miller and Jake Boyle, who filled in at our middle defender when one of our top defenders, Levi Clark, was injured in our semifinal game,� said coach David Ward.

SPLIT: exhibition games help growth

KYLE BOGGS / For The Chronicle

Beau Mason makes a save for St. Helens against West Linn on Aug. 15.

Lions tested at Roosevelt tournament PORTLAND — A young St. Helens High School boys soccer team got its feet wet at an exhibition tournament at Roosevelt High School Aug. 15-16.

The Lions, who started official practices on Aug. 19, were right in the thick of things in their first game against West Linn.

With Beau Mason manning the goalkeeper position in the first half, St. Helens trailed only 1-0 at halftime.

Mason made several aggressive saves and had plenty of action in front of the net.

The Lions’ defense couldn’t hold against West Linn as well in the second half. West Linn scored seven

times after the intermission en route to an 8-0 victory.

Isaiah Ramirez scored the first goal of the tournament for St. Helens in the Lions’ second game on the 15th.

His goal wasn’t enough for the squad in a 4-1 loss to Forest Grove.

The outcomes didn’t get much better the second day

of the tournament, as Rex Putnam took a 7-0 victory in the first outing on Friday.

Against Franklin, St. Helens had more scoring opportunities and capitalized on one of them in a 3-1 defeat.

St. Helens started official practices this week.

Lauren Frank had one for Scappoose in the rematch.

In addition to providing school supplies for area schools and a chance to play against opposing teams, the scrimmages allowed the coaches to see their youngsters play against a high level of competition.

“What it kind of did was enable especially the freshmen coming in to see the speed of the junior and senior players and what they’re gonna have

to get used to in the next four years,” said Scappoose coach Nick Heffernan.

Scappoose squeezed in another exhibition tune-up against Rex Putnam High School on Aug. 15. Putnam won, 5-2.

“We struggled on Wednesday. I think because it’s the first time they’ve all played together, and for some, the first time they’ve ever played soccer. But Friday they were all much better, especially the freshmen,” Heffernan said.

TRIALS: good outdoor, family activity before summer ends

From PAGE A12

CSWCD issued a challenge for kids in grades K-6 this summer. If you or your kids have yet to accept the challenge, you have until Aug. 30 to go find all 12 caches, fill out the game card and return it to CSWCD. With no real knowledge of what to expect, I punched “Geocaching” into the App Store search, then blindly started downloading apps.

The first few were no good, but then I came across one labeled simply “Free GPS.” Shortly before embarking on the trip, I entered the 12 coordinates. To my surprise, they were not all that close together. Instead of a short walk around somewhere in the county, we’d instead need to drive from Scappoose to St. Helens to Rainier to Clatskanie to Vernonia to track down all 12.

Once all 12 destinations were plotted on my iPhone, we planned a route. Start south, work up through Rainier, toward Clatskanie, then loop through Vernonia to finish up.

On our first exploration, we weren’t sure exactly what we were looking for. We had the directions on precisely where to go, so we parked

and then walked maybe a quarter mile along the Crown Zellerbach Trail. Along the way, we stopped to snack on a few handfuls of blackberries that were so plentiful.

As we approached the end of the CZ Trail on the dike, we noticed a blue box. That must be it.

Inside the box, there was a placard. On the placard was educational information about the dike, as well as a symbol that we were supposed to draw on our gamecard. Later, we found out, there would be other goodies stashed inside the cache boxes. These treasures are up for grabs – as long as you have a gift of your own to deposit for the person behind you.

As an adult, this scavenger hunt isn’t the most challenging thing in the world: The boxes are in open lines of sight, for the most part. Luckily we had Teagan, a 2-yearold, with us to excitedly alert us every time she found one.

On the flip side, there were some nice hikes – if that’s what you want to call them – on the way to the boxes. We made our way down the aforementioned CZ Trail, along some of the trails near Scappoose Bay Marina and strolled through Trojan Park. The other three we found were much shorter walks.

(We eschewed hunting for the six spread across Clatskanie and Vernonia for

reasons twofold: One, after four hours or so, Teagan was getting ready for a nap. And two, while we were walking back to the car from the second cache, I got stung by a bee, wasp or yellow jacket.

For most people, not a big issue, but I went into anaphylactic shock after getting stung while I was in high school. Turns out those desensitization shots were a

good investment!)

CSWCD is still accepting game cards for another week and a half. If you’re looking for a way to fill free time before school starts back up, visit columbiaswcd.com, download the game card and take a day trip through Columbia County.

It’s no Hawaii, but it’s still a great way to test your ability to read a compass.

Members of the other teams without Columbia County residents on board have to make do with the stops provided along the route. There are several relay exchange zones in the county. The first three are at Scappoose High School, St. Helens High School and the Columbia County Fairgrounds.

Each of these stops offers different amenities, including showers, sleeping and hot food. From there, the course winds its way under the “giant sky” from Pittsburg Road to Schaffer Road to Apiary Road and eventually working its way onto the Nehalem Highway and continuing on toward the coast.

That means drivers should be on the lookout for runners all day Friday and into Saturday morning. A release from the Hood to Coast states relay members should be expected on Highway 30 from 5:15 a.m. on Aug. 23 until 8:40 a.m. on Aug. 24, and on Highway 47 from 4 p.m.
