Les Schwab announces interim location BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Les Schwab Tire Centers announced it has signed a lease for a temporary store location at 555 S. Columbia River Highway in St. Helens. The site was the location of the former The Fuel Café. Les Schwab hired Robertson and Olsen Construction, Inc., based in Vancouver, Wash., as the general contractor to prepare the location for operation. According to a statement released by the company,

“Exterior painting and cleanup at the new store location began on Aug. 27.” Les Schwab expects to have the temporary store location open for business by mid September. “The sooner we can open the store, the better for us and our customers,” said Vice President of Marketing, Dale Thompson. In the meantime, Les Schwab employees from St. Helens will continue to work at neighboring stores, as they have been doing since shortly after an Aug. 24 fire swept through the St. See TIRES, Page A2

Store owners in St. Helens are placing signs in their shop windows reminding cyclists, skateboarders and roller skaters that sidewalks are off limits.

Business owners fight for sidewalk safety

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS – Local business owners along north Columbia Boulevard have been putting signs up in their store windows to remind cyclists, skateboarders and roller skaters that city sidewalks are off limits. According to St. Helens municipal code 10.04.100, “No person shall use the sidewalks for skateboarding, rollerblading, or bicycling where prohibited by this chapter.” This ordinance has been in place since 1978, with revisions made in 1994. Despite having city signs posted along Columbia Boulevard, shop owners say the message isn’t getting through. “I think it’s worse this year than it was last year,” See SIDEWALK, Page A2

ST. HELENS — For the second consecutive year, the Portland Pirate Festival dropped anchor at the St. Helens City Docks for two full days of live music, food, ale and plenty of treasure. For local businesses, especially those in the Olde Towne area, the festival was especially beneficial. Denise Dahrens opened her store, The Apple Blossom, at 257 S. First Street earlier this summer. “This was the busiest day I’ve had since I opened,” said Dahrens on the first day of the two-day festival. Dahrens even found herself getting into the spirit of the event and is already looking forward to next year’s festival. “I took lots of photos and told everybody to come back next year and I would have all the pictures up in the windows,” Dahrens added. Just a couple of doors downs from The Apple Blossom is another newly opened business, Trinkets, Treasures and Threads. Owners Tom and Laura Miller also opened their

business earlier this summer and were happy to see sales ringing up and people coming into the store. “We’re priced to sell,” said Tom Miller. Jill Newkirk-Owens, owner of Jilly’s Again at the corner of First and Cowlitz streets, embraced the pirate spirit and spent both days in full costume. NewkirkOwens also brought in dresses, scarves, hats, and dozens of other pirate-related items for shoppers looking to extend the souvenir-purchasing experience beyond the gates of the festival. “It was a lot better than last year’s,” said NewkirkOwens. “It’s been really steady and sales have been good.” That wasn’t the case for everyone though. Milo and Trixie (Theresa) Honeywell use vintage-style and original tattoo designs to create custom art flasks and other items. This was their first year at the festival and while business was fairly good the first day, the couple definitely noticed a drop in attendance the second day. “I think there was a conSee PIRATES, Page A2

NW Natural files for rate reduction, little change expected for customers Northwest Natural Gas Company, which operates as NW Natural, filed a request with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon for a rate reduction for its customers. As filed, Oregon residential rates would be reduced by about 8 percent and commercial rates would be reduced by about 9 percent. “This rate reduction filing is in addition to the $35 million in gas cost savings that we passed back to Oregon customers on their June bills,” said NW Natural President and CEO Gregg Kantor. “Part of the reason for the lower prices is the surge of new domestic gas supplies. Last winter was also much warmer than usual, which helped reduce demand and keep prices lower.” But customers aren’t likely to see very much of a change to their monthly bills. Residential customers will actually see about a 2 percent decrease, and commercial customers will see about a 3 percent decrease from last year’s gas prices. That’s because these lower prices will nearly be offset by rate increases that went into effect at the end of last year. NW Natural filed a general rate case in Oregon last December – the company’s first in nearly a decade. In it, NW Natural asked regulators for about a 6 percent revenue increase. According to the company, the rate increase request addresses increases in util-

ity operating costs, such as maintaining pipelines, conducting inspections and making service calls to homes and businesses. Additionally, the company proposed a mechanism to address clean-up expenses related to legacy manufactured gas plant operations. Each year, NW Natural and other local gas companies adjust their rates to reflect changes in wholesale natural gas prices. This initial filing reflects gas purchases for the year beginning Nov. 1 as well as other small year-to-year changes. NW Natural will submit a final filing to the OPUC in late October. The rate changes will be changed slightly as the company locks in additional supplies for the upcoming heating season. So what rates can customers expect to pay this winter? Separate from this annual gas cost adjustment, Overall the company expects the decline in natural gas prices to offset any increase associated with the outcome of the general rate case. The end result for customers should be flat or slightly lower rates for the upcoming heating season. Regulators will make a decision on the rate case by the end of October, with new rates taking effect on Nov. 1. For more information about the general rate case, visit the rates and regulations section of nwnatural.com.

The 10th annual Amani Center Luau and Auction will be held at the fairgrounds on Sept. 8. Come and enjoy the Hawaiian theme with leis, music and great food.

Watch Vodka and beer from local brewery Captured by Porches. VIP guests will also dine on tasty appetizers while they mingle with friends and other prominent community members and business leaders. The Amani Center relies on the support of the community to make this event successful. For the Luau Auction, the center is in need of monetary donations and/or high quality new merchandise, vacation packages, sporting event tickets, etc. Donations of all sizes are needed. For more information, go to www.amanicenter.org, visit the Amani

Center Facebook page or call Executive Director Lisa Galovich at (503) 3664005. According to the center, the rate of child abuse has increased while funding has decreased.

Most lodging in the area was either at full or near-full capacity. “We had a little bit of an increase, but really we’ve been busy all summer,” said America’s Best Value Inn (until recently known as the St. Helens Village Inn) owner Joe Kessi.

With schools back in session this week, shop owners in the area are concerned run-ins between cyclists and pedestrian may get worse as the commercial area is within the school district’s no-bus zone. “There’s no bus service within this whole area,” said Vaerewyck. “So they are still going to be taking their bicycles. The traffic won’t change.” Cade and Vaerewyck have also taken their concerns to the St. Helens City Council and asked the councilors to discuss the issue at the next regular council meeting, which is scheduled for Sept. 5 beginning at 7 p.m. at city hall.

The Portland Pirate Festival moved from its previous location at Tom McCall Waterfront Park last year after rising fees to hold the annual event forced organizers to look for a new location. The festival brings two full days of live music from around the country and from across the sea; merchants carrying various wares such as jewelry, pirate-themed clothing, swords, knives and pottery, childrens’ activities and performances; historical re-enactments and more. Organizers of the event are already looking forward to being back in Columbia County next year.

The report also said there appeared to be no basis for suspecting arson or a carelessly set fire of any type. Further analysis of the building’s electrical components and associated contents will be conducted when the building is removed from the site. The lead investigative agencies were the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office and the Oregon State Police Arson Unit. Assistance and support was provided by Columbia River Fire and Rescue investigative personnel. The total loss estimate is in the range of $1 million.

Officials began an investigation of the cause of the fire on Aug. 27, which was concluded late on Aug. 28 with some initial determinations. “The fire was clearly observed to have started in the southwest area of the building and several witnesses and associated photography confirm this,” said Chief Jay Tappan in a statement released on Aug. 31. “A small grass fire on the outside of the building appears to have been started subsequent to the fire on the inside of the building. Multiple witnesses and photography seem to also confirm this finding.”

He was almost nailed by three bicycles last week coming out of the store,” said co-owner Shannon Vaerewyck. “They were just about piling up over each other to not hit him.” After seeing several near misses at their store and others in the area, the two had bright yellow signs printed stating, “Skateboards, roller blades and bicycles prohibited on side-

On the other side of the political aisle, local resident and Owl Tree Press owner Donna Nyberg was selected as a delegate for the Democratic National Convention being held in Charlotte, N.C., from Sept. 4-6.

All this month we will be running a series of articles created by the Highway 30 Safety Committee in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Transportation. On Aug. 15, the Columbia County Commissioners proclaimed September 2012 as traffic safety awareness to bring extra attention to the need for safe driving on county roads. As our young people return to school after a summer of fun and frolic, it is a great time to remember that traffic safety begins with you. September is traffic safety awareness month throughout Columbia County. The Highway 30 safety corridor study group wants to remind drivers that individual behaviors can create a positive change in our county. If we all take the time and effort to personally change our driving, riding and walking actions, Columbia County can become a safer place for families and friends to live. School Busses After a short reprieve from driving behind school busses in the morning, that time is here again. Drivers – remember that flashing red lights on a school bus mean you must stop in all directions in Columbia County until the lights are turned off. Bus drivers can and will note your vehicle license plate if you pass the bus and you can be cited into traffic court. Aside from Rainier Hill, there are no roads with physical dividers separating traffic lanes anywhere in the county.

Look both ways Look left, right and left again before stepping off a curb or crossing traffic. That goes for drivers as well as pedestrians and cyclists. And above all – slow down. Slow down when students may be walking or riding to school. Observe the posted school zone speed and/or flashing signals. Anticipate the unexpected. Children drop things, horse around while walking and riding and can dart into traffic without warning. With the help and cooperation of motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, the start of the school year can be safe and uneventful. Thank you for making our communities safer places to live. And for you cyclists, always wear your helmet.

Portland man drowns off Sauvie Island Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office A 39-year-old Portland man drowned Sept. 1 in the Columbia River off Sauvie Island. Columbia County Sheriff's deputies suspect the operator of a SeaDoo watercraft was too impaired to survive a fall off the watercraft, despite the fact that he was wearing a personal flotation device. At around 5:49 p.m., Scott

Ankron was pulled ashore after losing control of the SeaDoo and floundering in the water. Witnesses at the scene told deputies that Ankron was highly intoxicated while operating the watercraft. Deputies recovered evidence of alcoholic beverages and marijuana, which they believe to be contributing factors in

Ankronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. CCSO marine deputies, along with Sauvie Island Fire personnel, responded to Collins Beach on Sauvie Island and performed CPR but to no avail. Ankron had been wearing a personal flotation device, but nevertheless was unable to keep from drowning. A boat in the area re-

sponded to assist in removing the deceased from the river. Sheriff's deputies are treating this as an accidental drowning, and no criminal charges are expected to be filed. The sheriff's office made the notification of death to the next of kin. Ankron's body was removed by the Hustad Funeral Home of Portland.

The Columbia County Sheriff's Office said it committed extra manpower and boats to the Columbia River over the Labor Day weekend. According to Sheriff Jeff Dickerson, the extra resources helped ease the burden on marine deputies as the weather favored a large turnout on the water. Deputies put three boats on the river during peak hours and logged 152 man hours and 86 boat hours over the three-day weekend. In all, deputies responded to three Boating Under the Influence of Intoxicant calls, one of which resulted in the drowning death of Scott Ankron, a Portland resident who was operating a SeaDoo water craft adjacent to Collins Beach on Sauvie Island. The other two calls resulted in BUII arrests. Deputies were able to make 28 boater contacts on the water, as well as assist two boaters with disabled vessels. In addition, CCSO deputies were the first to respond to Collins Beach on an additional medical assist â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a day after they had responded to the same area on a BUII drowning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We prepared for this weekend with additional personnel to handle the expected increase in boaters during the holiday weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Dickerson. Dickerson also said having extra staff enabled his department to increase the number of positive contacts on the water, as well as to conduct the criminal and death investigations involving operators who were boating under the influence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The extra people on the water paid off for us, especially with the beautiful weather that drew even more people to the water for the three-day weekend,â&#x20AC;? said Dickerson.

Indian Jack Slough tour offered Willapa Hills Audubon Society and the Columbia Land Trust will host a tour of the Indian Jack Slough Field tour from 9-11 a.m. on Sept. 15. The tour will be led by Dan Friesz, Stewardship Lead, for Columbia Land Trust, and will begin at the CLT gate off Nelson Creek Road. Columbia Land Trust has been doing habitat restoration at the old farm property across Highway 4 from the Julia Butler Hanson Wildlife Refuge in Wahkiakum County. Restoration work, so far, includes removing Hybrid Poplar and Reed Canary Grass, re-grading old drainage ditches, creating wetlands, and planting native species. The goal is to create suitable habitat for

the Columbia Whitetail Deer and other wildlife species. Since 2007, Willapa Hills Audubon has partnered with CLT to do baseline surveys and restoration projects. Be prepared for some hiking and possibly inclement weather. This invitation is going out to WHAS members and friends. Feel free to bring your family and friends and see how this property is transforming. Directions: Take Highway 4 west from Cathlamet, cross the Elochoman River bridge and turn right on Nelson Creek Road. Go about 1 mile. RSVP to Russ Kastberg at rkastberg@cni.net or call (360) 430-5541.

Safe shopping Some local business owners have resorted to placing signs outside their businesses in an attempt to get the skateboards, roller blades and bicycles off of the sidewalks and into the bike lanes. The signs went out after a pregnant woman and her young daughter were exiting a business and were nearly struck by a bicycle traveling at a high rate of speed on the sidewalk. This has been an ongoing issue that has been brought to the attention of a city council

U SPEEDBUMP

LETTERS Lesson learned Recycling bottles and cans in Oregon is such a pain. We have machines that you have to feed each bottle/can in one at a time. They are located at the grocery stores and usually are not working or work for a few minutes. Then you have to go inside get a store employee to come out and fix the machine so you can feed it 10 more cans before it breaks down again. After waiting in line for 45 minutes while fighting the bees, tripping over the garbage left behind by others, you cannot cash in receipts over $7 a day. It is just too much of a pain to even bother. Oregon could take a lesson from California on how to set up recycling centers. I thought this was the tree hugger state. We should be above the bar on this issue. I can’t tell you many times I see people just get frustrated and give their cans to the next person in line and leave. Not to mention the stores, which are not happy to have these machines and are not very pleasant when they have to attend to broken/jammed machines. Scott Hileman, St. Helens

member. On any given day, local business representatives have reported that they have counted more than 20 bicyclists and skateboarders traveling on the sidewalks. This will only get worse as the kids head back to school. Awareness of the city ordinance has to get out to the public somehow. The signs posted along Columbia Boulevard are placed too high and do not stand out for the public to even notice them. Educational flyers or workshops would be a great way to get bicycle safety and the rules of the road out to the kids, and we should encourage adults to take the safety course as well. Bill Cade, Shannon Vaerewyck, Bertucci’s St. Helens Route changes Lately I've heard several people vehemently rant about changes within the school district, specifically Lewis and Clark Elementary. The big change has to do with limited bus routes, forcing children to walk and already pressed-upon parents to find extra gas money to drive and then sit in ridiculously long lines. The other issue I've researched is the school supply list for Lewis and Clark. I cross-referenced this list with a list from Four Corners Elementary in Salem. The differences are astounding and the sheer number of items requested by Lewis and Clark borders on extortion. Twenty glue sticks are required by first graders at Lewis and Clark, whereas at Four Corners only one container of regular Elmer's glue is required. There is a story here, especially considering the economic state of our city and the burden being placed on parents. Joel Siemienczuk, St. Helens

No dead ends After reading the Aug. 29 paper I find it to be very informative, thanks! There are more news idioms without all of the “Look at me I made the police blog!” or “Oh look, I made the wanted posters at the post office.” The last splash story goes to show you kids know how to do summers. I was sorry to see that Les Schwab had a very bad day. A thing such as this is so hard to imagine how hard this will impact those Schwab workers, the families’ lives. All can be thankful no one got hurt. There could a concern when the rains come, with the tier smoke residue fallout on the highway, this could be slick when wet. It’s a shame that 13 Nights on the River has come to an end for this year. It’s the “ARRRGH Pirates!” time to show, the biggest thing going on in town now. Knowing there are many that love the theatric, those that do so will soon began the mystery radio theater but I hope they run ads so we can know the time. We do have many musicians groups in and about our area too. Just think from old timers sounds to the new, from brass, blues, country, and yes the young rappers as well. There are also very good artists doing fine quality work in our city. Many do very well but we never see their showings. I’ve seen some metal workings and wood – from chainsaw to hand carvings. There are those that are throwing clay figurines and bowls. Paintings of your choice along with many quilters and there is so much more to offer, but there’s no place for us to see this fine art. There are many empty store fronts and there are some lots just off the

street that could be used, but the owners need an off-sidewalk insurance for a coverage charge, and that can hard. Street corner sidewalk arties would be something, well better than nothing. After more than a hundred years of this old downtown St. Helens having a dead end to it, there is a chance to change it. Not many people that come into the office can say they have this chance for change. This could become a time of a four-month increase

income. And you know, you would think this would carry on into the upcoming Christmas section each year. It couldn’t hurt the unemployment and tax base; right? By this way of thinking, it could give an about face in the immediate area. You see there is the 17acre piece of riverfront land up for sale. Could be a good spot for a riverside hotel? Just think, downtown could have a southeast, all the way through street coming out on

DAVE COVERLY

south Plymouth and Sixth Street. Having no more dead ends in the downtown area in St. Helens would give way for a hotel lobby with artists showing their wares, an overnight sleepover down by the river, making way for the paddle wheel, the river boat with early morning tourist shoppers. This if it would take place could give a fantastic upgrade in tax revenue for the area. Dean Ebert St. Helens

The water treatment facility is a membrane plant that works by running water through a series of computer-controlled synthetic filters. There are no chemical additions, except for standard chlorine disinfection and acidity control. The city is required by the Oregon State Health Division to take 15 routine water samples monthly from designated areas throughout the city, testing for microbiological contaminants in the drinking water. Water distribution operators are state certified and receive annual training to keep their knowledge current.

SPENCER (M) - Spencer is a little tiny dog, coming in under 10lbs with a heart the size of a St.Bernard. This little guy is all ears and sad eyes. He is very sweet and gets along well with other dogs. He came to the shelter from California, so we don't have much of a history on him at all. What we can tell you is that he was very thin when we got him and he is looking better by the day. He was ready the first day we got him to give you kisses and show you that he loved you. We are guessing that he was used as a breeding dog and when they were done with him they turned him loose. The vets think that he is right around 2 years old. Come down and spend sometime with him today...

Food for thought

SHARI PHIEL / The Chronicle

With the first day of school behind students, teachers and parents, Honoring Our Rivers presents an engaging learning experience that leads to publication for young writers and visual artists, developing the state’s next generation of cultural leaders and river enthusiasts. Now entering its 13th year, Honoring Our Rivers is open to all students throughout the state in K-12 and undergraduate classes. Students submit their writings and artwork focused on rivers and watersheds to a juried-review process, and those selected enjoy publication in a magazine distributed before Earth Day in April. “Honoring Our Rivers is a motivating learning project,” said Project Director Tom Webb. “Not only do students learn about Oregon’s legacy of rivers, they take part in the process of submitting to a publication for public consideration, a real-world writing and art practice.” HOR also supports teacher efforts to meet state standards in the arts, English and earth sciences.
