Booster club member charged with theft

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

A trail of financial records exposed a fraudulent scheme and led to the arrest of St. Helens Sports Booster Maria Lynn Maria Santangelo Santagelo on Aug. 16.

Santangelo, 41, was arrested and charged with firstdegree theft after she admitted her involvement in the disappearance of funds from the booster club.

The suspect is a resident of St. Helens resident and booster club member. She also volunteered as the concessions manager.

It was after booster club bank accounts were overdrawn that inquiries were made into the missing monies. An investigation determined that over $6,000 had been taken from a concessions fund.

“The first or second week of June we had a supplier’s check cause an overdraft in the concessions checking account,” said Tom Halligan, president of the booster club.

After looking into the account futher, booster club officials noticed irregularities going back to February and possibly sooner.

The St. Helens Sports Boosters is a fundraising organization that works to support and improve athletic programs within the St. Helens School District. Concession stands at St. Helens High School are operated by the St. Helens Sports Boosters. It was through her volunteer efforts in these concession stands that Santangelo was allowed access to the booster club funds.

“I’m shocked, and just disheartened. These funds go to the student athletes and other programs at the high school,” said Halligan. “As a nonprofit

Will ban bring an end to commercial fishing on the Columbia?

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

(This is the second of a two-part series examining the support and opposition of Measure 81, which calls for the use of gill nets by commercial fishing operations in the Columbia River.)

In November, voters will head to the voting booth to elect a president, county commissioner, mayor, city councilor and many other positions and ballot measures. Among these is Measure 81, which calls for an immediate end to the use of gill nets in the Columbia

River by commercial salmon fishing outfits.

Proposed by the Coastal Conservation Association, the measure would ban the use of gillnets, which are placed vertically in the water and often kill far more than what’s intended and replaces it with seine netting.

Opposition to the measure is coming from several fronts, including Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Clatsop and Columbia County board of commissioners and Oregon Fish and Wildlife.

On Aug. 9, Kithaber sent a letter to Bobby Levy, of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission, and

Opponents to Measure 81 say banning gillnets won’t help salmon populations.

Roy Elicker, Director of Oregon Fish and Wildflife Department. In his letter, Kitzhaber said both recre-

ational and commercial fisheries are “vital to the social and economic fabric of our state and local commu-

nities.”

Kitzhaber went on to add that fishing provides valuable jobs and millions of dollars of revenue to the area.

“Optimizing the economic value of both these fisheries within a conservation-based framework is a priority for my Administration,” Kitzhaber said.

Yet, Oregon’s governor does not see the current proposal as the appropriate solution.

“I desire a long-term solution on this contentious issue – one that enhances fisheries while minimizing See NETTING, Page A4

Town’s dream comes true School’s grand opening brings tears, cheers

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

More than 600 days after breaking ground, and nearly five years since two 500-year floods wiped out the town’s schools, the dream of a new all-age school became a reality with the opening of Vernonia Schools.

Leaders from across the county and state joined hundreds of local residents, students, teachers and staff for the Aug. 21 grand opening and dedication ceremony at the new K-12 school.

Among those attending the event were Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, former Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski, Sen. Jeff Merkley, Sen. Ron Wyden, County Commissioner Tony Hyde and Oregon’s newest Chief Education Officer, Rudy Crew.

Granary Girls find a home

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Fond childhood memories mixed with a passion for décor conspired between sisters Kelly Thomas and Kay Iverson and led to the creation of The Granary Girls.

To trace the roots of the St. Helens storehouse of repurposed rustic home décor and furniture, one would have to travel back in time to Kay and Kelly’s childhood.

As kids, they spent a lot of time at their grandparents’ farm on Saulser Road. They have vivid memories of the rustic feel of the granary at the farm, which is how they decided on the store’s name. Inadvertently, their grandparents also influenced The

Granary Girls’ opening date: the store opened on Aug. 2, their grandma’s birthday.

The elder generation often made do with what they had, either by repairing it or using it for something else. That is exactly what Thomas and Iverson are doing in their store.

While they sell a few new items – including locally crafted rugs, greeting cards designed by a local painter, and Salvaged Jewels – most of the merchandise is found at estate sales, fixed up, painted and turned into a much nicer version than it was orignally.

In order to do this, the two work long hours. In addition to manning the store from 10 a.m.–5:30 See GRANARY, Page A4

ST. HELENS — The Public Health Foundation of Columbia County welcomed local and state officials and members of the public to an Aug. 3 open house to officially open the foundation’s new Women, Infants and Children annex located behind the clinic on Gable Road.

The portable has a W.I.C. classroom will be used to teach new moms about breastfeeding. It also has a private room for women to breastfeed their babies or to pump milk.

The total cost to purchase, install and move the portable annex was approximately $50,000, which was funded by a grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s bonus award program.

In 2011, Oregon W.I.C. won a W.I.C. Breastfeeding Performance Bonus award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for having one of the highest breastfeeding rates in the nation.

That award funds local breastfeeding support projects.

“We wanted to make sure we kept all of our space for clients,” said Healthy Communities Coordinator Ashley Swanson.

The new facility means Public Health now has a dedicated classroom and storage areas. These dedicated areas will allow staff to offer breastfeeding classes more

often and for larger numbers of clients.

“We have been limited by the size of the clinic rooms.

Now we’ll be able to reach more women with more effective presentations,” said W.I.C. coordinator Jana Mann. “With renewed emphasis on encouraging women to breastfeed their babies, the Columbia County W.I.C. program will put the new space to good use with classes provided by Sheri Duren, the Foundation's lactation specialist.”

According to Public Health, the benefits of breastfeeding during the first six months of a baby’s life are invaluable and include lower rates of infant mortality, as well as lower rates of asthma, Type 1 diabetes and childhood obesity. More health benefits result from continuing breastfeeding as solids are introduced for one

year or longer, depending on the mother and baby.

Mann said studies show that mothers also receive health benefits from breastfeeding, in addition to the bond it creates with their newborn: reduced rates of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis.

“Additionally, there is the bottom line – Increasing breastfeeding rates could save more than $13 billion a year in health care costs nationwide. Most Oregon moms start out breastfeeding their babies – 90 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). But only 21 percent of Oregon mothers breastfeed exclusively for the recommended six months,” said Mann.

VERNONIA: building to accommodate up to 30 years of growth

From PAGE A1

Also on hand was state Sen. Betsy Johnson, who has been a key player in bring the new educational institution to fruition.

“This is not a single event where a single activity occurred. The state’s contribution of almost $4 million at the very end of the 2012 session was pivotal to today’s opening,” said Johnson.

She went on to say that the state’s participation goes back to the 2007 flooding when military equipment and personnel were provided to the community.

Johnson said that participation carried through many other areas while the school was being funded, designed and built.

“This exemplifies the saying, ‘Build a school, save a town,” Johnson said.

Venonia students of all ages are equally excited to call Vernonia Schools their own.

“I wish I would have been able to go to all four years here,” said incoming senior Sara McMann. “But it’s still really awesome.”

Former student Kelsey Brown may not be attending Vernonia Schools, but she too was enthusiastic about the new facility.

“It’s a great opportunity for our town,” said Brown.

“It’s big but they’re expecting growth and that’s great to see.”

The new building on Missouri Avenue is built to accommodate the current

“Vernonia is an example

of how Oregonians can pull together in the face of tragedy and build back stronger,” said Kulongoski, who toured Vernonia in the immediate aftermath of the

December 2007 floods and has remained a strong advocate for both the school and the town’s recovery. “Vernonia and what people statewide have helped to ac-

complish here embodies the character and community spirit so inherent to Oregonians.”

throughout Vernonia, students and teachers have been making due by holding classes in modular classrooms and minimally repaired structures. The new 135,000 square foot facility near the town’s center, which is also the state’s first LEED Platinum educational institution, is built on high ground and contains an integrated K-12 building that replaces Vernonia High School, Vernonia Middle School, and Washington Elementary School, all of which are located in a newly designated federal flood zone.

Innovative environmental design features include radiant in-floor heating and cooling; heating from local biomass fuel; solar panels; local materials and labor; and wetland education features. Building energy use will be monitored as part of a new curriculum focused on natural resources. The district estimates annual energy cost savings of over 45 percent. These features tie to new district-wide multidisciplinary natural resources curricula that will provide hands-on service learning opportunities for students to focus on natural resources and our responsibility to the environment.

“I want to convey my thanks to Vernonia, now known as the school that wouldn’t give up,” said Wyden. “I believe that because of Vernonia, small towns in rural Oregon have a new role model for success.”

mortality of wild fish in order to promote fish recovery, honor tribal commitments and optimizes economic benefits,” said Kitzhaber.

In his letter, Kitzhaber charges Oregon Fish and Wildlife with implementing a plan to end the use of gill nets by commercial fisherman using a phased approach between 2013 and 2016. Kitzhaber also called for a plan that promotes fish recovery, actively manages Endangered Species Actlisted and weak stocks, enhances off channel fisheries for additional economic benefits, develops the use of alternative fishing gear for commercial mainstream fisheries and to work in concert with the State of Washington.

Opponents of the measure have said passing Measure 81 would only enforce commercial operations based in Oregon, and not in neighboring states.

“The people in Washington with licenses will still be able to fish,” said Jerry Westerholm, a long time area fisherman.

Jack Marincovich, secretary for the Columbia River Fishermen’s Protective Union, expressed similar concerns.

“If they would eliminate us here, it doesn't mean Washington people won't keep doing it... You're not protecting anything, you're just turning it over to fishermen in another state."

Coastal Conservation Association chapter president Ed Rabinowe says that’s simply not true.

“The real rule of the Oregon/Washington compact is if one state has a rule and the other state does not agree with it, there is no fishing season – commercial or sport. It’s done. That’s it,” said Rabinowe.

Kitzhaber isn’t the only elected official voicing opposition to the measure.

County Commissioners from both Clatsop and Columbia counties in Oregon and Wahkiakum and Pacific counties in Washington released a joint statement opposing the measure.

According to the statement (which is available in full at thechronicleonline.com), the initiative will be “a huge step backwards” and will not save a single fish. The commissioners’ letter also said the ballot initiative will negatively impact the economies of local communities, that managing natural resources by initiative petition is a “bad idea,” seine fishing cannot be “successfully operated in these shallow water locations,” and that the initiative “ignores the need for shared sacrifice and shared benefits,” among others.

“The sports go out there and they don't catch a fish, they want to blame someone,” said Marincovich. “A lot of people think every time you put that net out you'll catch every fish in the area, but that's not true.”

Marincovich also said that of the nearly 200 licensed commercial fishing outfits, only a couple dozen are equipped to make the switch to seine netting.

“When you get down to it, it's the end of a way of life,” Marincovich said.

GRANARY: merchandise has air of nostalgia

From PAGE A1

p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, they spend Sundays and Mondays fixing up the treasures they find scouring estate, yard and garage sales bright and early on Thursdays and Fridays.

When they’re out hunting for merchandise at sales, they have no preconceived notions of what they’re looking for.

“Whatever we see that we like is how it ends up getting here,” Thomas said.

So far, the disagreements

have been few and far between.

“Our tastes are so much alike, which we didn’t realize,” Iverson said.

When entering the door off of Columbia Boulevard, don’t expect to find an array of bright colors. Most of the goods are neutral colors – creams and tans – that lend an air of nostalgia.

“It’s a mix of the old with the new,” Thomas said.

The use of neutral colors stems from Thomas’s time working in similar shops on the North Oregon Coast

What: The Granary Girls Where: 1570 Columbia Blvd., St. Helens Hours: 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday Phone: (503) 397-9750 while living in Warrenton.

She said many of the coastal homes were decorated in that same sort of rustic feel that the sisters recall from their grandparents’ granary.

Thomas’s expertise in the industry coupled with Iverson’s passion for collecting such items has led them to bring such shops to St. Helens; that, and their mutual love of decorating.

“Our goal is to make decorating fun and to keep prices down,” Thomas said.

In the first couple weeks, they said the foot traffic coming through the door has exceeded their expectations. The sisters attribute that, in part, to their location across the street from the post office.

breastfeeding mothers are the challenges and demands faced every day, such returning to work fulltime, commuting to work and finding daycare.

“Support from the community, workplace accommodations and family support of breastfeeding can

make a huge difference in the long-term health of Mom and baby,” said Mann. “The Federal Women, Infants and Children program still provides formula, but we're hoping it is for emergencies, not every day.”

Employers wanting more information about creating a breastfeeding-friendly worksite can contact Public Health

at (503) 397-4651.

“In Oregon, if you have 25 or more employees you are required to have a breastfeeding policy,” said Swanson.

In 2011, Columbia County W.I.C. served a total of 2,202 clients, including infants and children under age five, and pregnant, breastfeeding and postpartum

women. W.I.C. served 969 families.

W.I.C. certifiers travel monthly to five cities in Columbia County to see families, and W.I.C. issues $881,000 in food vouchers for dietary staples to families annually. The vouchers are redeemed at eight grocery stores, two farmers’ markets and one farm stand.

BOOSTER: not everyone believes Santangelo is guilty

organization, we are all volunteer, we devote everything to improving facilities and programs for the kids at the high school … that this could occur just came as a shock, especially in this community.”

With the start of the high school football season right around the corner, the booster club is now working to find someone to take over managing the concessions, at least for the interim.

“We have talked to a couple of people and we do have a person in mind,” he said.

“She has already said she would be willing to help us out in the interim. And we have several other volunteers that will step up.”

But not everyone believes Santangelo is guilty of the crimes she is being charged with. Daughter Mariah Armijo turned to Facebook to come to her mother’s defense.

“She is a good person and has done a lot of great things.

People that don't know the

whole story shouldn't put their negative inputs in,” said Armijo. “My mom is a great person and has not done anything wrong in her entire life until this one bad lapse of judgment.”

Santangelo was booked into the Columbia County Jail with bail set at $15,000.

She has since been released and the matter has been referred to the Columbia County District Attorney for prosecution.

Opinion U SPEEDBUMP

LETTERS Local congratulations Congratulations to the Columbia City Community Library on its successful move to its new and bigger facility!

At a time when cities all around the state are closing public libraries or curtailing their hours of operation, the volunteer “friends of our library” found a way to increase the size and accessibility of the community’s library and, at the same time, keep it open and free to everyone no matter where they live. That is quite an accomplishment.

A library is an integral part of any community. It is the only place where books on just about every imaginable subject can be found for both adults and children. It is a place where dreams are born and fantasies nurtured. It is more than just a repository of knowledge. Often, it is the only place where folks can come to just sit and read in peace, free of the distractions, stress, and pressures of the rest of their day. In these difficult economic times, there are some who don’t have computers or can’t afford Internet connections. They rely on the ones in our library to look for jobs, upgrade their skills or do research for school projects. How could any community be without a library?

As Ray Bradbury said, “Without libraries, what do we have? We have no past and no future.” Now is the time to build on the current success of the library and the enthusiasm of the community to protect its very valuable resource for the future. To this end, we would like to issue a challenge to raise $10,000 to make sure that the library remains a vibrant center of our community. Until the first of October, we will match monetary donations to the library, dollar for dollar, pledging up to $4,500 to this challenge.

Cathy & Dennis Lundberg, Columbia City A record year Scappoose Fire District would just like to thank everyone who made a donation during our “Fill the Boot” fundraising event for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) held Sunday, Aug. 12 at the intersection of Havilk Drive and U.S. Highway 30. This is an annual event to help support children, adults and families in need who suffer from any one of over 40 muscular dystrophy diseases. Every penny raised goes directly to the MDA to then fund muscular dystrophy research, health care support services (i.e. wheelchair replacement/repairs) and education, to name a few.

Men, women and children who suffer from MD greatly appreciate this fundraising event and greatly appreciate every donation, no matter how big or small. The MDA uses a very high percentage of the money raised to directly support local families in need as well as families throughout Oregon.

We are very proud to announce that, thanks to our generous community support, Scappoose Fire District was able to raise our all-time highest amount this year of:

$7,468.

We can’t thank you enough for all your help and support in this great cause!

Zach Ahlers, Scappoose Fire District Board support It would be a mistake to recall any of the current St. Helens Federal Credit Union board members who are currently under fire - Richard Louie, Lea Chitwood, Mike Hafeman, David Graham and Marty Borrevik. These are individuals of high character who are dedicated in their service to the SHFCU and our community.

Boards are required to make difficult decisions.

Their action to dismiss Jeff Schwarz, a popular CEO, was gut-wrenching but unanimous. They remain unwavering in spite of much “heat” from the former CEO’s supporters. One has to assume that any reasonable person, provided the same information, would arrive at the same conclusion.

Laws of due process and confidentiality protect employees and prevent boards from making irrational decisions. The fact that Mr. Schwarz was well liked by so many people, including many board members, indicates to me that their reason for dismissal must have been substantive.

Regarding the issue of merging with Wauna, if granted a “do over” the board would probably communicate to the membership differently. At the time they felt like they were doing the right thing.

And, as most know, a letter of intent is the procedure used to engage members in substantive discussions regarding the issue at hand.

It’s not in the best interest of the credit union to undermine the current board’s authority, nor that of subsequent boards, through an ill-advised recall.

It seems to me that what has some people worked up is the dismissal of Mr. Schwarz. Unless I’m shown that the board did something unethical or illegal, they have my support and I hope yours, too.

Peter McHugh, Scappoose Step aside This last week, St. Helens Credit Union members received a letter from CEO Booke Van Vleet warning them against an “unwarranted and impulsive” removal of directors at the special meeting scheduled for Sep. 4.

Unwarranted? Impulsive?

The series of poor decisions made by these directors over the past few months make this a necessary and much needed house cleaning.

Here’s a recap of their recent record: 1.) The directors decided to fire CEO Jeff Schwarz in May, despite the fact that he successfully navigated SHCU through the recession, and posted record numbers by coaching outstanding performance from the CU staff.

The directors failed to give a single reason for the firing, fueling rampant speculation throughout the community

and staff, further agitating the situation, and possibly damaging his career and reputation in the process. They later agreed at a staff meeting that some of the information on which they based their decision was inaccurate. Yet they claim they still stand by their decision.

2.) Instead of appointing a temporary CEO from the senior management team who would have competently steered SHCU, they placed their chairperson in charge.

This person had no management, business or financial experience. Worse, she created fear and anxiety among staff members, by threatening to fire various personnel.

3.) The board acted with such poor judgment in appointing their chairperson as “acting” CEO, they later had to go back and clean up their mess, at the insistence of legal counsel. The board didn’t know they couldn’t have a volunteer in the CEO position, so they actually ended up paying the chairperson for the horrendous job she did.

She was subsequently reprimanded for removing documents from the credit union, a practice strictly prohibited.

4.) The board signed a letter of intent to pursue a merger with another local credit union on June 19.

When asked point blank about this merger a week later at the SHCU annual meeting, they publicly denied it. Two days later they reversed themselves and admitted to the merger plans.

5.) A week after the annual meeting, staff and members began the process of collecting the signatures necessary to hold a special meeting where the members could vote to retain or remove the five directors still responsible for these incredibly bad decisions. These directors immediately began spending thousands of dollars on legal counsel and mailings to defend their volunteer positions.

The amount easily runs into the tens of thousands of dollars, and could have been saved had the directors merely stepped aside and allowed other qualified volunteers to replace them.

6) These directors now want to open up the vote for their removal to mail-in ballots; something the credit union has never done for its annual meeting or general elections. More to the point is that in the case of the special meeting there is no legal basis for a mailed ballot. The bylaws specifically state, “...a majority vote of the members present at the special meeting called for that purpose...” But the directors are paying legal counsel thousands of credit union dollars to work around that clear directive. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

If these directors really had the best interests of the credit union at heart, they’d stop the horrendous waste of money to defend themselves.

Just step aside and let new volunteers who also have the best interests of the CU at heart take over. At least new people don’t have a record of terrible decisions, poor communication, or trying to cover their tracks.

Maybe the worst consequence of these directors’ poor decisions is seriously

weakening the credit union itself. The CU is only as good as the employees that work there, and in the past two months since the firing of Jeff Schwarz (which was a devastating loss in itself), no less than six employees have left, been fired, or given notice.

That’s about 10 percent of the staff, and a much higher turnover than normal. The credit union is bleeding talent as a direct result of these directors’ actions. With that talent goes the great member service and in-depth knowledge members need, not to mention the cost of training new employees. Way to go, Fab 5.

Shari Swick, St. Helens Feds outrageous I question the U.S. Justice Department’s behavior of late. Starting with their unwillingness to prosecute bullies (on video) wielding pipes at the polls in 2008 and extending to the lawsuits challenging voter ID requirements and immigration enforcement practices in Florida, Texas and Arizona, I’ve concluded that Eric Holder, U.S. Attorney General, is, well…one complicated guy.

But there’s more reason to be alarmed. According to an article by the Wall Street Journal (Aug 20, 2012: Gibson is off the hook. Who’s next?), the feds just won a judgment and a promise not to talk about the case beyond the form 302 report; the “Statement of Fact” from Gibson Guitar. Though Gibson denied their culpability in the charge of importing restricted wood from Madagascar in an earlier op-ed piece, they agreed to pay out $350K and accept the fed’s version of reality rather than fight a multi-million dollar court case.

The writer, Harvey Silverglate, goes on to explain that when interviewing suspects, the feds don’t tape the interview like states and counties do. Two interview; one asks the questions, the other writes down the answers.

This gives the feds complete latitude to edit the “Statement of Fact” in a narrative that favors the prosecutors.

Should the suspect depart from the narrative at a later time in open court, he will be charged with making a false statement to a federal official, a five-year prison offense.

Outrageous.

“Form 302” should be a video. Throw out the gag orders. Allow explanations in pursuit of the truth. Vacate charges against Gibson.

Wayne Mayo, Scappoose Partisan politics Our first two Presidents, George Washington and John Adams, were both dead set against the idea of political parties. The founding fathers in general, with very few exceptions, thought that “factions” would engender chaos and corruption in their infant New World republic.

Britain’s Whigs and Tories provided our forefathers with a prominent negative example of what to avoid, and after 1789 France’s violent political “clubs” mammothly reinforced the message.

Even Thomas Jefferson thought that there should be certain limits on political partisanship. It is absolutely certain that individuals like Washington, Adams, Hamilton, Franklin and Madison would be appalled at today’s ferocious and hideously expensive partisanship.

It is not possible to prove, beyond all shadow of a doubt, that our money-besot-

DAVE COVERLY

ted partisan politics is doing damage to our Republic. Yet a great deal of circumstantial evidence is accumulating to demonstrate that spending multi-billions of dollars to facilitate the process of electing public officials simply must lead at some point to official corruption. Money mountains are being shoveled into the two parties’ electoral efforts, and it is extremely difficult to believe that virtuous governance is thereby facilitated.

Our political campaigns drag on interminably, and our politicians face too many monetary temptations.

Are Americans ready to alter this particular formula for something better?

OBITUARIES Steve DeShazer Steve DeShazer passed away on Aug. 10 at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland as a result of an allergic reaction to medication. He was 57.

Steve was born Feb. 28, 1955. He was Steve DeShazer a proud lifelong Oregonian; a farm kid who was actively involved in 4-H, FFA, and school activities.

He played trombone in high school and won the John Phillip Sousa award as a senior. Steve graduated from St. Helens High in 1973 and later settled in Portland. He attended Portland Community College, was an avid

reader, and continued to learn throughout his life.

To say he was smart is an understatement. Steve had an exceptional memory and was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about many subjects, from astronomy, basketball, and geology, to music and, especially, politics.

He was a compassionate person whose worldview encompassed values of social justice, equality, and the importance of sticking up for the little guy.

He was a talented musician who was equally comfortable with classical music and punk rock. He played in many bands during his lifetime, including Region X, FDM, and the Worried Guys.

His Portland punk band, “The Stiphnoyds,” is well loved and will long be remembered.

The most important part of Steve's life was his family.

He was a loving and devoted son, brother, husband, father, and uncle who will be dearly missed. He cared for and supported his family during good times and bad. He loved animals and nature and seemed most at peace when hiking, camping, or taking us on a road trip adventure.

His legacy of love and learning will live on through those who remember him.

Steve is survived by his beloved wife, Michelle; daughter Staci; son Lucas; uncle David Larson, and Jack the cat, all of Portland; uncle Loren DeShazer of St. Helens; and nephews/niece Paul, Max and Olivia, of Warren.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Paul and Charlotte DeShazer; his brother, Craig DeShazer, and

Firefighters, paramedics receive recognition ST. HELENS — Several members of the Columbia River Fire & Rescue district were recognized for meritorious actions during the past year. Firefighters and paramedics alike were awarded commendations during the district’s regular board meeting held on Aug. 14.

Fire Chief Jay Tappan presented the awards honoring distinguished actions and conduct, including two Unit Citations and a Distinguished Conduct Award. The Unit Citation Awards were given to two crews for exceptional service and team effort in accomplishing difficult tasks under adverse circumstances.

The first Unit Citation was awarded to Lt. Greg Brody and firefighters Ken Raya, Matt Chandler and Ryan Ridinger for their actions following the shooting death of Rainier Police Chief Ralph Painter on Jan. 5, 2011.

The second award was given to the combined crew of Captain Dave Coombs, and firefighters Ryan Ridinger, Tim Hennigan, Matt Chandler, Jim Pulito, Greg Loveall and Aaron Peterson for their actions in a lifesaving event of one of

their own firefighters on Jan. 20, 2011.

Tappan also awarded the Distinguished Conduct Award to firefighter and paramedic Michelle Croft for her heroic actions on May 30, 2011, in coming to the aid of a female emergency department nurse who was being physically assaulted by a large male patient. Croft risked serious injury but was able to effectively subdue the assailant and save the nurse from

harm.

Tappan said the district recently implemented the current awards program to honor emergency response crews and individuals who perform significant actions during the course of their duties.

“Firefighters and paramedics routinely perform above and beyond actions in the normal course of their duties, but from time to time they need to be recognized for these efforts,” he said.

Suspect sought in Rainier chase Oregon State Police is asking for the public’s help in locating Mark Evans Davis, 48, after he allegedly eluded police following a chase through Rainier on Aug. 18.

Evans is believed to have been the driver of a pickup truck that led Oregon State Police troopers and Rainier Police officers through several residential yards, before police lost sight and later found the pickup abandoned.

Davis is described as a white male, 6'2", 220 pounds, last seen with a long mulletstyle haircut and a moustache. He is known to frequent the Rainier and Longview, Wash., areas.

On Aug. 18, at approximately 7:45 p.m., OSP Fish & Wildlife Trooper Adam Shimer was checking anglers at Dibblee Beach underneath the Lewis and Clark Bridge when he spotted a suspicious green 1990 Chevrolet 2500 pickup parked behind a tree.

As the trooper approached the pickup, it left recklessly through the park nearly hit-

ting a child on a bicycle.

The Chevrolet pickup was attempting to elude the trooper who was operating a marked OSP pickup, initially heading toward the bridge where a Rainier police vehicle was positioned to assist.

When the pickup's driver

spotted the police car, he turned back on to Highway 30 away from Rainier before continuing to elude Rainier police and OSP in and around the city of Rainier.

OSP and Rainier police eventually lost sight of the pickup but found it later abandoned in the Rainier watershed area about five miles from Rainier. OSP, Columbia County Sheriff's Office and Rainier police searched the area until dark without locating the driver.

During the incident, a citizen called 9-1-1 to report a possible gunshot from the fleeing pickup as it traveled along a city street. Upon checking the report, a loaded rifle was found lying on a road.

The driver is described as a white male adult, approximately 45-55 years old.

Anyone with information regarding the identity of the driver is asked to call Oregon State Police Northern Command Center dispatch at 800452-7888.

Sheriff’s office lends a hand in search for missing hiker Columbia County Sheriff’s staffers have returned to their regular duties after joining the search for a missing Portland hiker.

Ronald Ohm, 52 went missing while hiking in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness in the Willamette National Forest.

CCSO crew members joined the search effort.

Ohm was hiking with two others on Aug. 2 when he decided to stay behind to take photos while his companions went ahead to start a camp on Russell Lake about a mile north of Mount Jefferson. Ohm never arrived at the camp. His friends called for help the following

evening.

On Aug. 13, Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson dispatched Undersheriff Andy Moyer and a crew of five volunteer search team members to help in the expanded effort to find Ohm. “We want to do what we can to send trained search and rescue team members into the area to assist with this search,” Dickerson said.

Volunteer team members from Columbia County included: Terry Martin, 57, of St. Helens; Michelle Jenkins, 31, of Vernonia; Joe Jenkins, 34, of Vernonia; Steve Reddington, 53, of Kelso, Wash.; and Al

Bernal, 46, of Scappoose.

More than 200 searchers spent six days covering 300 square miles of heavily forested terrain with steep ridges and valley in the Willamette National Forest for a total of about 3,500 manhours. Searchers were, at times, hampered by smoke and the encroaching “Waterfall 2” forest fire moving west from Warm Springs.

The search for Ohm, who required daily medications for a medical condition, was called off on Aug. 15.

The Columbia County team brought relief to teams that had been searching to no avail since the weekend.

his loyal dog and travel companion, Charlie.

A celebration of Steve’s life is scheduled for Sept. 9, beginning at 2:30 p.m., at the University Park Community Center, 9009 N. Foss Avenue in Portland.

Adults are focus of latest vaccine grant To increase the infrastructure around adult vaccinations, the Public Health Foundation of Columbia County is planning to participate in a statewide project to build on local partnerships.

“The project will mostly be education,” said Mary Altenhein, a registered nurse and immunization coordinator for the foundation.

The initial goal of the project is to increase adult immunizations for whooping cough and flu by 10 percent.

“We’ll be promoting partnerships to increase vaccinations in our

county,” said Altenhein.

“Vaccinations save people’s lives and reduce serious illness and hospitalizations. This is one of the best ways to keep people healthy while keeping health care costs down.”

While Public Health will continue to offer lowcost vaccines, the goal of

the project is not to buy more vaccines, but to get information out to health care providers and the general adult population.

“Increasing the number of health care providers who are vaccinated is a great place to start,” said Altenhein. “We’ll be working with pharmacies, longterm care facilities, some medical clinics and nonmedical employers.”

The state grant goals are modest – to increase adult flu and TDAP immunizations by 10 percent. The specific Columbia County plan and goals will be designed in early September, Altenhein said.

School files to be picked up Students who were born in 1986 and who received special education services from the St. Helens School District may pick up their file at the St. Helens School District Office at 474 N. 16th Street in St.

Helens.

Files not picked up before Aug. 27 will be destroyed.

For more information or questions, contact the District Office at (503) 366-7229.

ST. HELENS — The Portland Pirate Festival will drop anchor once again in St. Helens, bringing with it two days of family-friendly fun and entertainment.

Last year was the first year the event, which had previously been held in Portland, moved to the St. Helens city docks.

The festivities begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept.1 and continue until midnight. The action starts at 10 a.m. again the following day and runs until 11 p.m.

Along with plenty of pirates, there will also be food, vendors selling jewelry, swords, scarves, pirate clothing and more, puppet shows, face painting and plenty of other activities.

This year’s musical lineup includes new acts such as guitar great Roy Mette, from London, England; Seattle-

Fan favorites Chervona, Chata Addy, Sam Bam Boo and BilgeRats & Pyrettes

will continue thrilling audiences with their wide variety of musical mayhem.

The Royaliste, a tall ship that had been undergoing renovations was scheduled to make its debut at the festival this year. Unfortunately, an accident that occurred during

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: V.3.12 Applicant: Hayden Consulting Engineers Request: Variance to the maximum 45’ building height to approximately 55 feet to allow for a proposed tenant common use area (penthouse) Location: 31 Cowlitz Street Map No: 4N1W-3BD100 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 per SHMC 17.108.050 (1) (a)-(e): (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

999

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; (c) 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 than 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.

A copy of the staff report will be available for review at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the hearing. There is no cost to inspect the file or staff report; copies are available at a reasonable cost.

Questions should be directed to the City Planning Department by phone: 503-397-6272, email: jacobg@ci.sthelens.or.us, mail: PO Box 278, St. Helens, OR 97051, or in person at City Hall.

Anyone needing special assistance should contact City Hall at least 72 hours in advance to ensure the necessary assistance is available.

The Council Chambers are fully accessible.

The Planning Commission is authorized to approve, deny, or approve this application with conditions, based on the following criteria per SHMC 17.108.050 (1) (a)-(e): (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; (c) 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 than 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.

Shockwave finishes second at Mount Hood Challenge

U14 boys from St. Helens and Scappoose make a run to the championship game over the weekend

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

The U14 Shockwave boys soccer team went 3-2 during the Mount Hood Challenge Aug. 17-19 to finish in second place.

Shockwave is made up of players from both St. Helens and Scappoose.

The team opened up with a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Timbers All-Stars.

“The boys were a bit nervous at the start and it took them a while to get going, but once they relaxed and started doing the stuff we spent the past week practicing we were able to snatch our two goals,” said coach Scott Stanton.

In the second game on Aug. 17, Shockwave dropped a 2-0 contest to Clackamas Triple Threat.

In Saturday’s first game, Shockwave cruised past Corvallis Flash, 8-0. It took the Shockwave about 24 minutes to get on board, but during that opening stretch the team peppered Flash’s goalkeeper with shots.

Stanton said the team spent the “opening 24 minutes taking shots on goal (I lost track around 20-something) before we got our first one to hit the back of the net.”

The coach also credited the defense’s work in the shutout.

“Our defense did a superb job and held them to only one shot on goal all game,” Stanton said.

Shockwave played the same Vancouver team in the semifinals, this time winning 4-1.

That win advanced the team to the championship game in a rematch against the Clackamas Triple Threat. Clackamas again won, 2-0.

Stanton said the team was balanced offen-

sively throughout the tournament.

“The goals were pretty evenly spread throughout the team with just about every one of our offensive players scoring at least one,” he said.

Kevin Bachman of Scappoose led the way, scoring three goals and tallying six assists.

“Jacob Hawkins (of St. Helens) also had a great tournament helping control the midfield and scoring a few goals of his own,” Stanton said.

Stanton added that Jacob Olson of St. Helens “had a phenomenal tournament back on defense.”

This is the first year the St. Helens and Scappoose youth soccer organizations have merged to form a team to compete at the classic level.

Stanton is assisted by coaches Kyle Cooper and Bob Ziegler.

Martinez won the dwarf division main event and trophy dash on Aug. 18. He also finished first in his heat and had the fastest lap time of the day. That upped his lead in points over second-place Brian Hicks. Martinez has 804; Hicks 658. It is the biggest lead in any of CCRA’s eight divisions.

Greg Lane also had an impressive evening Saturday, sweeping the main event, heat race and trophy dash, as well as turning the fastest lap time in the Pacific mini-sprint division.

Lane is still fourth in the points standings, however.

In the street stock division, Jeremey Wetherbee closed the gap on points leader Justin McMullen with a main event win. McMullen finished third to maintain a slight lead in the standings, 715-704.

Bud Russell won the sportsman division’s main event and also had the fastest lap time of the evening.

Clint Petty beat runner-up Clark Tenney in the modified division. Petty has a slight edge

over Tenney for second place in the standings.

They both trail Don Jenner, who finished third on Saturday.

In the four-cylinder division, John Oyler won the main event, just ahead of division leader Joel Beehler.

Reigning rookie of the year Morgan Tenney maintained her lead in the women’s division with a main event victory. She also had that division’s fastest lap of the day.

Jonathan West won the trophy dash and the main event in the tracer’s division. He has a small lead over Bryce Tenney in the standings, 733-695.

The next event will be at River City Speedway on Aug. 25.

Prep sports season has started Hood to Coast is on its way

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

Linemen for the St. Helens High School football team work on their technique during a morning practice on Aug. 21. Aug. 20 was the official start date for fall sports practices in Oregon. Most teams are conducting tryouts or daily doubles this week. See our Fall Sports Preview section on Sept. 5 for a complete look at all the prep teams at St. Helens and Scappoose high schools.

It’s that time of year once again. Columbia County will be flooded Aug. 24-25 with walkers, joggers and runners participating in the 31st annual Hood to Coast Relay — or at least some variation of it.

The first runners will leave Timberline Day Lodge at 6:30 a.m. on Aug. 24. Racers will continue starting all the way until 6:45 p.m., although some of them – high shoolers and walkers – will leave from Portland as part of the Portland to Coast Relay.

Several of the event’s 36 legs come through Columbia County. The route follows Highway 30 until St. Helens, at which point it winds up back roads through Mist and Jewell on its way to the Pacific Ocean in Seaside.

Event organizers expect 1,050 teams and 12,600 runners participating in this year’s event. To help serve all those runners, some 3,600 volunteers will be in action.

A handful of those volunteers will be working at St. Helens High School, where the St. Helens Sports Booster Club serves food, offers showers and lets runners sleep along the way.

Last year, Knoxville Track Club had the fastest time over the 199-mile course, covering it in 18 hours, 5 minutes and 7 seconds.

The Olympia Slackers had the fastest time for high schoolers, covering the shorter distance in 14:55:12.

– Kyle Boggs

ummer in Columbia County isn’t quite summer until you make it out onto the Columbia River.

Check.

After paddling around in Scappoose Bay Kayaking’s kayaks each of the last two summers, it was time to try their newest challenge: stand-up paddleboarding.

The 12-foot paddleboard I took out reminded me of a Kyle Boggs surfboard, only I had a paddle to propel myself along instead of the Pacific Ocean’s bone-chilling waves.

While I was exiting the dock area, a young girl in a tandem kayak asked her mom, “Why is he standing?”

After being told it was a paddleboard, the precocious youngster said, “That’s very dangerous.”

For some, it probably isn’t. But surely after she looked at my awkward boxing stance atop the board, she realized I didn’t really know what I was doing and just might fall off.

Let it be known: Wearing flip-flops and standing in some distorted, legs off-centered way is not the best way to approach paddleboarding.

So I stopped, kicked off the flops, wedged them into the board’s handles and stood facing straight forward. Instantly I transformed into a paddleboard natural.

Having grown out of my awkward phase, it was now time to set out on my course. I wasn’t quite sure where I wanted to go, other than knowing I wanted to escape the sound of semis lugging along Highway 30.

Luckily the trees lining the bay make for tremendous noise reducers. Several paddle strokes and wobbly leg shifts to help stabilize the board later, I was cruising into a cove hidden from just about all man-made noise.

As always, Scappoose Bay is a peaceful retreat.

The one-bladed paddle used in tandem with the board – and the constant need to keep myself stable atop the board – made for a much slower ride than in a kayak. But if you’re up for a new type of challenge, this is a fun adventure in its own, slowpaced way.

Once I started having enough faith in my lower body that it could keep me dry without my eyes staring at the nose of my banana-colored board, I was able to start eying the many birds flapping from tree to tree as I worked my way through one of the bay’s inlets.

That is, until a tree cut off my path. Then I surprised myself with a graceful 180 to reverse course.

“I’m good,” I thought to myself. That was a short-lived feeling.

On the return trip out of the inlet, I decided I’d go on the opposite side of a tree I had already passed once.

“OK, so I need to go left, avoid that limb sticking up and I should be good. I’ll even stay in the shade,” I thought.

Then I felt the fin of the board catch a bit, completely lost my balance and felt the board and the bottoms of my feet shoot forward.

Luckily I clipped my keys to my shorts rather than just putting them in my pockets.

The symbol of American freedom sat freely, observing everything around it. Nothing was to disturb this creature as it ruled this particular tree.

I blew bubbles with my gum, hoping the smack might be enough to see it spread those monstrous wings and take flight.

Nope.

This eagle was undeterred.

Defeated, I got up and started heading back to the dock. At least I meant to.

This time the wind was too much. I paddled, it pushed. It won. I was going backward.

Defeated by nature once more, I shifted routes and paddled toward the middle of the bay. This worked and I was finally able to make my way back to shore.

The wind wasn’t all bad.

It teamed up with the sun, and by the time I was on the dock, I had already dried out.

TRIALS: easy to spot bald eagles on branches in the bay They were still there when I stood up in chest-deep water.

At 90-plus degrees, falling into the river isn’t the worst thing that can happen – no matter how ungraceful it might look.

As I approached the bigger part of the bay, I learned just how difficult it is to paddle into the wind. When it’s at your back, you can cruise along at a decent pace, albeit nowhere near a quick one.

When it’s blowing right at you, it’s a patience-tester.

The key is finding a spot on the shore and watching it slowly move behind you. Or you can keep your eyes ahead, trained on a perfect view of Mount St. Helens.

After cruising around a few more clumps of land, I spotted a bird perched on a branch some 50 yards ahead of me.

“That’s an eagle,” I hoped.

Slowly – because I couldn’t do quickly – I made my approach. Sure enough, a bald eagle was sitting on a limb. I slowed even more to keep an eye on it. Surely it was going to spook and take off.

Wrong.

I paddled right underneath it. No reaction. Once I went past, I couldn’t help but rubberneck. Knowing my skill level wasn’t high enough to look backward and paddle forward simultaneously, I beached. Sitting on my
