Bank robber on the run JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
Police are still on the hunt for a man who robbed the Bank of the West in St. Helens on Tuesday, July 30, and the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) is seeking the public’s help identifying him. Around 4:27 p.m. that day, an unidentified man approached a bank teller with a note demanding money. The suspect then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money prior to officers’ arrival, but the SHPD said there was no weapon reportedly used during the crime. The suspect is a light-skinned male, approximately 6-feet-tall, in his mid-30s. He has black hair and light facial hair, and was last seen wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, black pants, sunglasses, and a desert camouflage baseball hat. He was last seen fleeing on foot southwest toward the Legacy Clinic, located at 475 S. Columbia River Hwy. The Oregon State Police and surrounding law enforcement agencies assisted with a search of the area, and the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office conducted a K-9 track, but they were unable to locate the suspect. Anyone with any information as to the identity of the suspect should contact the SHPD at 503397-1521. “Do not approach the suspect,” an SHPD press release stated. “Although no weapon was used during the robbery, the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.”
The man suspected of shooting two men in St. Helens on July 2 has now been arraigned on a 21-count indictment with charges ranging from attempted aggravated murder to sexual abuse in the first degree, with his bail set at $1,285,000. Adam Corey Fleming, 31, was indicted by the Grand Jury of the County of Columbia at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 30, and according to District Attorney Jeff Auxier, trial dates will be set in the near future. Fleming was indicted on seven counts of attempted aggravated murder with a firearm, three counts of attempted murder with a firearm, one count of assault in the first degree with a firearm, one count of attempted assault in the first degree with a firearm, one count of assault in the second degree with a firearm, three counts of unlawful use of a weapon with a firearm, one count of sodomy in the first degree, one count of sexual abuse in the first degree, and three counts of tampering with a witness with a firearm. According to court documents, Fleming stands accused of attempting to kill both men and the 7-yearold, allegedly to prevent them from exposing his abuse of the little girl. Fleming originally fled the scene the night of July 30, reported at approximately 10:15 p.m. at a residence on Cowlitz Street. Following the report, officers with the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) located two gunshot victims on scene, along with a 7-year-old girl that was found unharmed. Fleming was last seen in Clackamas, Oregon, around 2 a.m. on July 3 near a Denny’s restaurant. He was ultimately apprehended almost two weeks later on July 15 in Sacramento, California with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service. According to court documents, Fleming is also charged with 15 counts of Encouraging Child Sexual Abuse in the First Degree in Clackamas County, alleged to have occurred on or between Feb. 21,2017 and March 24, 2017. Clackamas County’s Chief Deputy District Attorney, Chris Owen, said the charges relate to the downloading of child pornography. In court documents, a video involving explicit acts with an 8-year-old

child is cited specifically. Family member recounts the night of the shooting The Chronicle spoke with a family member of one of the shooting victims - the girl’s father, who was shot three times in both legs and the stomach on the night of the shooting. The Chronicle has agreed to leave out the family member’s name to protect his identity and that of the victims.

According to the family member, Fleming then said, “Sorry, I love you,” and shot the roommate in the arm. The girl’s father then took his first gunshot wound to one of his legs, the family member said. The father got up and went for his shotgun to defend himself and was shot two more times on the stairs. “[The father] said in the moment he pointed the gun, [Fleming’s] face completely changed from what it would normally be to something
“[The girl’s father] said [Fleming] got really calm, let them get what they had to say off their chest towards him, pulled out a gun, pointed it at them and said, ‘Okay, well now I’m going to have to kill you all,’” ~ family member He said the incident began when the little girl approached her father’s roommate with allegations of sexual abuse from Fleming. The family member said both the father and the roommate, who was ultimately shot in the arm that night, confronted Fleming about the allegations to discuss what had happened and what was said. “[The girl’s father] said [Fleming] got really calm, let them get what they had to say off their chest towards him, pulled out a gun, pointed it at them and said, ‘Okay, well now I’m going to have to kill you all,’” the family member said.
he’d never seen before,” the family member said. “A part of him that just shut off all human emotion.” Fleming left the residence after shooting the father for a third time. “[The father] said he remembered seeing the barrel of the gun, assuming it was aimed at his head, and thought that was it for him but he was trying to stick around for his daughter to make sure she was okay. He kept trying to talk to himself, so he knew he was still conscious for her.” The family member said both of the father’s legs were broken by the gunshots, his femoral artery was
struck, and the man was bleeding out. The family member said had it not been for the bravery of the little girl, he would have likely died. The little girl had been hiding in her father’s room until after Fleming left, according to the family member, and sometime after, her father called out to her and asked her to call 911. “She was at the top of the stairs saying, ‘Daddy, I keep messing up.’ He asked for her to bring him the phone and he called 911. Then he handed the phone back to his daughter and told her how to put a compress on his wound,” the family member said. The little girl kept the compress on her father’s wound until first responders arrived, according to the family member. “He said he remembers hearing the 911 operator telling her to put all her pressure on it and he could see her putting all of her weight on his stomach to try to keep the wound closed,” the family member said. “He definitely wouldn’t have been able to have any sort of viable blood in his system were it not for what she did. Police were on the way, but no one was immediately available to help him.” The family member assured The Chronicle the little girl is okay and doing well. He said he was very thankful that, as a family, they’d always encouraged their children to be proactive on what was “right and wrong for people to do.” They’d always been encouraged to tell their parents, he said, and “no matter what happens, know that you did the right thing.” The family member said both gunshot victims have expressed regrets about that night, thinking they should have done things differently, but he disagrees. He said even though the situation escalated, he thinks they handled the situation to the best of their abilities, and everything has turned out okay for the father and his roommate. He said the family is especially proud of his young, 7-year-old family member. “All I can say is that little girl managed to save her daddy’s life. I remember she kept asking them to help her dad because he promised he would never leave her,” the family member said. “When she was able to see him, he said, ‘See? Told you, baby girl, I will never leave you again.”

Empty lots around St. Helens have some residents wondering about what future developments will be placed there. Those lots include a few sites next to the new Legacy Medical Group building at 475 S. Columbia River Highway, the ground next to the St. Helens Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) at 500 N. Columbia River Highway, a site on the intersection of 14th Street and Columbia Avenue, and the big empty lot that was the location of the former transfer station on Gable

Road. There are two other subdivisions planned, named Forest Trails and Elk Ridge. The lot next to the DMV will be a subdivision called Graystone Estates, according to City Planner Jacob Graichen. This is an 80-lot land parcel, of which two lots will be larger commercial lots, and the remaining lots will be for attached single-family dwellings, according to Graichen. Graichen said Graystone Estates is right in the middle of their development. It had its preliminary plat approved in September of 2018, and the site is working on public improvements to make the site ready for
development. These include civil plans like the sewer and storm system. Once those plans have all been approved, the final plat will be approved for the site, and development can begin. However, Graichen said it is impossible to tell when exactly development will start. Right next to Legacy is a large parcel of land that will have several uses. One of those uses will be for a 204unit apartment complex. “This is probably the first large apartment complex that St. Helens has seen in a long time,” Graichen said. According to Graichen, the apartment complex will include 18 buildings total, including 17 three-story buildings
of units, and one common building for the residents. “I’ve been here 12 years,” Graichen said, “and I haven’t seen something like that.” The land where Legacy rests was once the site of Violette’s Villa, which was sold to a developer in 2017 after having rested vacant for over a decade, according to Graichen. The developer that bought the land divided it into five large lots, Graichen said. One lot is the site of Legacy, another is the site of the future apartments. The remaining three lots are commercial lots, and

New fire chief selected
Bl ra
CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net
The Scappoose Fire District (SFD) has selected a final candidate and extended an offer to Dennis Hoke to serve as the new Joint Fire Chief to oversee SFD and Columbia River Fire & Rescue (CRFR). Hoke comes from the Illinois Valley Fire District in Cave Junction, Oregon, where he has served as Chief Executive Officer since 2013. Current Joint Fire Chief Mike Greisen said Hoke is going through the final stages of the hiring process, such as completing a background check and drug screening, and will start on October 1. Greisen announced his retirement plans on February
23 and according to David Sorenson, member of the SFD Board of Directors, Greisen is officially retired, but works on an hourly rate and will stay at least until Hoke officially joins. Greisen has served with the SFD since 1974, when he worked as a volunteer firefighter and was hired as an employee in 1989, according to SFD records. He has been the Joint Fire Chief since 2016. “We still have to sign a contract with Chief Hoke, and make sure he clears medically,” Sorenson said. “As soon as he’s in, we’ll take the advice of Greisen and Hoke to see if Greisen needs to stick around a little longer.” Sorenson said Hoke will have to get familiar with the area and how different
entities in the community operate. “The earliest that Greisen would leave would be October 1,” Sorenson said. The two fire districts employ one Fire Chief because of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) signed in 2016. The terms of the IGA designate SFD as the hiring board for new candidates, according to Jennifer Motherway, CRFR Recruitment and Retention Coordinator and Public Information Officer. As The Chronicle previously reported, nine people applied for the position after Greisen announced his retirement. David Graham, president of the SFD Board of Directors, described the process of hiring a new joint chief as being very involved.
The nine candidates were narrowed down to five after an initial process where candidates were scored on experience and education, according to Sorenson. The oversight committee, comprising two board directors from SFD and two from CRFR, then had face-to-face interviews with each of the five candidates, Sorenson said. After the interviews, the two fire districts held a meetand-greet open to the general public on July 28 at CCOM, the Columbia County 911 center, where members of the public could get to know the candidates. The next day, the five candidates faced five different panels, each one formed of individuals with expertise in different areas.
“Of those five panels came the recommendations from each panel back to the oversight committee on how they rated each of the candidates,” Sorenson said. Once those recommendations had been made, both boards had a joint meeting in executive session where they narrowed down the candidates to Hoke, Sorenson said. “There was some back and forth discussion, but when all was said and done, it was pretty obvious that he was above the rest,” Sorenson said. One way board members thought Hoke showed his talent was in his ability to handle an IGA between the two districts, according to Graham. “He has a lot of experience. He’s managed large
districts and small districts, he’s gone through consolidated operations, and brought them together under one leadership,” Graham said. “All those things we felt were very important.” The two districts are in the process of finalizing Hoke’s contract, something that they will do through the Special Districts Association of Oregon (SDAO), according to Sorenson. The SDAO has been helping through the entire process with initial background checks, publicity about the position, as well as other aspects of the hiring. Hoke has served in the United States Air Force and has more than 45 years of experience in fire services, according to his biography on the Illinois Valley Fire District website.

Columbia Pacific Food Bank set to relocate CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net
Off of Milton Way, down the road and across the railroad tracks, sits a green barn house-looking structure. A large sign reads “Columbia Pacific Food Bank,” designating the site where the food bank has been conducting operations for more than 20 years. The building will soon no longer be in use. The Columbia Pacific Food Bank is set to move into a bigger, better facility sometime next year. At their regular session meeting on July 17, the St. Helens City Council approved an agreement with Lower Columbia Engineering, LLC for the design and engineering of the new Columbia Pacific Food Bank building, to be located at 1421 Columbia Blvd, the site of the former Columbia Electric Feed & Seed building. The funds for the redesign of the new location were made possible by a $1.5 million Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), a grant that the food bank worked with the city to apply for in July of 2018 and were notified in September of 2018 that it had been approved. Wheeler said the CDBG will fund the redesign of the new location, and other aspects of the project will be funded by other means, including a capital fund campaign Wheeler hopes to roll out in the fall in order to raise funds for more equipment inside the facility. The new building, purchased in June of last year, will be more than quintuple the size of the current location, something that Executive Director Casey Wheeler said is very much needed. The current location, which takes up 2,200 square feet of space, serves the dual purpose of both food bank and food pantry, meaning that it stores food for partner agencies, as well as provides boxes of food for individuals and families in need. One of the problems associated with the building’s small size is that there is a lack of space for volunteers to assist with the repacking of food, Wheeler said. “We can’t get bulk items and repack because we don’t have the room to do it,” Wheeler said. “With this new facility we’ll be able to do that on an ongoing basis, so we’ll have a lot more community involvement.” Wheeler said the food
bank’s Board of Directors has been talking about moving into a bigger facility since Wheeler became the director five years ago. In addition to providing more space for packing and distributing food, there will also be more room in the new facility to offer other services like cooking classes. “We’ll be able to do some things we weren’t able to do,” Wheeler said. Although Lower Columbia Engineering was approved to design the new facility in July, they have been working with the food bank for a while, according to Mandi Jenks, Project Manager for Lower Columbia Engineering. Before the food bank could even purchase the building last year, they had to go through a survey process in order to see if the building could potentially be

used as a food bank site. “We just had to make sure it was a safe space for the food bank, that the building was sound enough and reasonable enough that it would serve as an improvement, and everyone was really enthused about it,” Jenks said. “So, everything moved forward into the phase we’re at now.” Last week, the firm had its first building design meeting, in which they figured out the programming requirements of the project. In the coming six months, Jenks said the team will focus on code compliancy, safety, the technical aspect of the redesign and all the permits that are required to go forward with the project. Jenks said construction will likely begin sometime next year. While the design is not finalized, Jenks said the new facility will have more of a
grocery store feel than the office-like operation of the current food bank, where a volunteer disappears into the crowded storage room and presents a client with a box of food they requested. There will be a produce counter where people will be able to get their fresh fruits and vegetables for the day without having to check in at the counter. Furthermore, the new location will be able to host different informational classes such as how to cook a value meal, according to Jenks. The new facility will also have more room for storage and office space. “The new location is very accessible, very light and inviting on a prominent corner,” Jenks said. “We’re really excited to do it because it is such an important part of community and community improvement.”

The flea market held on July 27 in support of the upcoming Columbia County Coalition for Human Dignity (CCCHD) educational exhibition to cover the Holocaust was deemed a “wonderful success” by one of the event’s organizers, Georgiana Gordon, despite the meager funds raised. “Our event was a wonderful success, not monetarily, but socially,” Gordon said. “It was a lovely opportunity to meet vendors and shoppers alike.” According to Gordon, the event featured cheerleaders selling coffee, pastries and raffle tickets, and Cub Scouts selling popcorn, snacks and Gatorade. Some of the older kids reportedly joined the younger ones to fish in the “fishing pond,” where they reeled in an assortment of prizes, and the adults enjoyed the mellow sounds of the Blind Rootin’ Hogs while they shopped. The flea market ultimately brought in around $350 which Gordon said, if not for
overhead, would help considerably toward the CCCHD’s upcoming historical education projects. “Vendors noted that they thoroughly enjoyed the congenial atmosphere and the friendliness of the other vendors and the hosts,” Gordon said. “The vendors and hosts got to know each other early in the morning when hosts helped vendors bring their wares in from the parking lot and help them out for display.” Gordon said many of the vendors reported having a lovely day and would like to return to the event next year, prompting the CCCHD to look towards next year’s flea market, preferably to be held on a day when there aren’t so many other activities taking place around the community. “All in all, it was a great experience for everyone and we’ll remember this when we bring our exhibition to Columbia County on the run-up to the Holocaust, and later, the Holocaust itself,” Gordon said. “The more we learn about our community and partake in it, the safer we are from a repeat of the Holocaust.”

Working with the house on commonsense gun control SUZANNE BONAMICI U.S. Representative, 1st District
Gun violence is a preventable and deeply disturbing American tragedy that continues to terrify communities, destroy families, and take away thousands of
precious lives every year. I’m heartbroken by the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio and by the tragic gun violence that took the life of Deante Strickland in Portland. The House passed bipartisan background check
legislation (H.R. 8) that could prevent gun violence and stem this unacceptable loss of life, if only the Senate would take action. I’ve called on Mitch McConnell to immediately schedule a vote on H.R. 8 and cease his blockade of this lifesaving bill. I’ll con-
tinue to work in the House to pass other commonsense measures such as banning high-capacity magazines and assault rifles, supporting public health research on gun violence, and others. It is long past time for Congress to respond to the
demands of our constituents to take action to prevent gun violence—both mass shootings like those in El Paso and Dayton, as well as the daily shootings that cause irrevocable harm to families and communities. We must stand up against the hate—and

Voices of the Community District 5 Board of Directors seat Dear Fellow WOEC Member/Owners, Long power outages are dangers to our health, livelihoods and quality of life. Board of Directors’ policy and priorities are crucial aspects of how this is managed. I am running for the District 5 Board of Directors seat, but all members vote for all directors. My goals and values: continuing the ongoing upgrade of service; my commitment to really hearing all members; fiscal responsibility and accountability; and sustainability of the coop. My promise: to meet members directly at least 3 times a year in different locations in the district (all members welcome), bringing managers along. If we can’t answer your concerns immediately, we’ll take your contact information to get you solid answers. I won’t promise to magically drop the rates, but I’m open to new cost-effective technologies. Rates are primarily based on indispensable personnel and equipment—both maintenance and replacement. We still pay for recent massive storm/flood damage. FEMA payouts only cover 75%, and only for locations declared Disaster
Areas. The only source of income for the coop is what we members pay. I’ve been attending board meetings for the past year, as well as learning about America’s electrical grid system, studying our own coop’s history, and reviewing cooperative law. Please review my candidate statement that comes with the ballot mailed July 27th to see how I contribute to my community on an ongoing basis since 2004, and consider voting for me. I’ll hit the ground running, doing my best to help us all thrive. Erika Paleck Vernonia
West Oregon Electrics Annual meeting Member-Owners of West Oregon Electric Co-op You will soon be receiving your invitation to West Oregon Electrics annual meeting. This year they are celebrating the 75th year anniversary. You will also be asked to vote for 2 Board Member positions in District 2 and District 5. Every vote will count and is, as with any vote, extremely important. A 75-year history, something to be proud of. Rural America needed the Co-op system to get electrified. It worked then, not discount-
ing the need. The question to be asked is, is this the type of management to run this Co-op for the next 75 years? Do we stay the status quo? Do we continue to absorb the inevitable increases in our rates? Do we stay the most expensive utility in the State of Oregon? Or do we vote in some new Board of Directors with some fresh ideas, talent and abilities needed to do the job of considering the welfare of the paying member-owners! You will receive your ballots at the end of July. Read the biographies of the candidates. Decide who has the history and knowledge to help make the necessary changes needed. Remember, the Co-op is not accountable to any state or federal organization, only to the Board of Director you vote into office! If we don’t do something different, things that are unsustainable will stay the same. Is this what you want? Remember, member-owners are the only entity with the power to initiate change. I can’t tell you how to vote, but I can introduce you to two people who can, from the knowledge of the candidates initiate change. A vote for Jennifer Johnston District 5 and Dave Crawford District 2 is a vote for change. You can vote in both districts. You decide. Mary Stocker North Plains

Roundup weed killer Perhaps, you have seen several lawsuits, on TV, concerning “Roundup” weed killer. It is extremely dangerous. It should’ve been outlawed and taken off the shelves years ago. Roundup is the by-product of “Agent Orange.” During the Vietnam War, “Agent Orange” was sprayed in Vietnam, via airplanes, to kill the vegetation. It not only killed vegetation, but caused the death of many women and men in the military and civilians, which little has been said about. My only two brothers, Bob and Pat, joined the Army, one year apart, to do their part in the Vietnam War. Pat was in “Special Forces,” called “tophat.” Bob and Pat did a lot of crawling on the ground and both were among those in the Army who died from cancer directly caused from “Agent Orange.” Bob, on Christmas in 2004 and Pat,

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net
In November, St. Helens residents will vote on a measure for a bond to raise funds for an upgrade and remodel of St. Helens High School. The bond proposal, issued at an increase of $1.25 per $1,000 of assessed value, would raise $65 million for the remodel project. The request comes three years after a similar bond measure, measure 5-263, was approved by 56% of the voters in 2016 for the new St. Helens Middle School, which raised $49 million. That bond measure did not increase the tax rate, as it was possible to finance the project at the same tax rate as before--$1.38 per $1,000 value—due to of home old bonds retiring, as The Chronicle reported in October of 2016. If passed, the funds will be added to the $2 million saved from construc tion projects of Plymouth High School and St. Helens Middle School, and the $3.5 million from the bond measure passed in 2016 of funds reserved exclusively for the High School.
The total funds will finance the upgrade of fire and security systems, building systems, as well as classrooms and learning spaces. “We want to see the school connected for safety and security reasons,” Scot Stockwell, St. Helens School District (SHSD) Superintendent, said. “There’s 80 plus doors in that building, which is not good.” Improving learning spaces will also include upgrades to high school career and vocational training labs to aid the school in forming an automotive career pathway and a medical pathway so that students can come out of high school as certified mechanics or receive a certified nursing certificate, according to Stockwell. Scot Stockwell, St. Helens School District (SHSD) Superintendent, said research into whether or not the community would support a bond measure came in the fall of 2018, when SHSD hired a polling agency to see which of three scenarios the community would support. The scenarios in the options were offered on a “sliding scale.” One option was to fix just the classrooms, another to renovate every-

thing except for the fields, and then a final one to do a full renovation. “What the information polled was that the community would support a bond if it was a complete upgrade or renovation of the high school, and they didn’t want to do the short add-on fixes of small individual pieces,” Stockwell said. Stockwell also said it is cheaper to renovate the existing high school than to tear it down and rebuild a campus, like what is happening at the middle school. A lot of that is due to the buildings themselves being harder to tear down than they were at the old middle school. “When the middle school was built, the coding at that time, it didn’t have strong bones based on fire code and all sorts of things. So it would’ve cost us as much or more to renovate that building than it was to do what we’re doing,” Stockwell said. If the ballot measure is passed in November, Stockwell said it will likely be about three more years before students see a new and improved campus, as that is similar to the timeframe for the completion of the new middle school.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children and adolescents in America, according to a 2018 study conducted by the New England Journal of Medicine, accounting for 20 percent of the country’s youth fatalities. With these statistics in mind, the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD) is joining law enforcement agencies across Oregon to use federally funded overtime to conduct a saturated patrol from August 5 to September 1 to increase St. Helens road safety and educate the public about safety belt and child seat laws. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), proper car seat use can reduce the risk of fatal injury in infants by 71 percent, and for toddlers in passenger cars, the risk of fatal injury drops by 54 percent. 2017 crash data collected by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Safety Division, indicated a lack of proper safety belt or child restraining use was a factor in 22 percent of motor

vehicle occupant fatalities. In the same year, 1,898 children under the age of 12 were injured in Oregon traffic crashes. In April of 2017, the State of Oregon passed House Bill 3404 requiring children to ride in a rear-facing safety seat until they are at least two years old, regardless of the child’s weight. In addition, a child weighing 40 pounds or less, “must be properly secured with a child safety system that meets the minimum standards” as outlined under ORS 815.055. “The recent law better protects a child’s head, neck and spine from potential crash injuries,” the SHPD said in a press release. “This is because a rear-facing seat spreads crash forces evenly across the seat and child’s body while also limiting forward or sideways motion of the head.” ODOT will provide the additional funding for the SHPD to take part in the saturated patrol, which will focus on increased road safety around the clock through the enforcement of safety belt and child restraint use, distracted driving rules such as texting and cell phone use and obeying the speed limit. The SHPD will also be

partnering with the Oregon State Police during the 2019 “Hood to Coast” and “Portland to Coast” relay races the weekend of August 23. During the race weekend, officers will focus on the “FATAL 5” – DUIIs, distracted driving, speed, occupant safety and lane safety. The SHPD said saturated patrols during the race weekend will focus on keeping people safe with the large influx of vehicles on Columbia County’s highways that have historically brought higher rates of the “FATAL 5” in the past, including fatigued drivers and road rage incidents. “There will be zero tolerance for violations encountered during blitz periods,” SHPD Sgt. Jose Castilleja said. “St. Helens officers will be on the lookout for drivers in non-compliance with the law. We want to help prevent children and adults from being injured in circumstances that are easily avoidable.” Castilleja added an additional reminder to St. Helens citizens to wear your seatbelt and place your children in a proper safety seat, don’t use your mobile devices while driving, and be aware of the speed limit - especially near school zones now that school will be starting up again.

Pass improvement project underway
Obituaries Ricky (Rick) Lee Kroll April 6, 1960 ~ Aug. 3, 2019
Ricky Lee Kroll was born April 6, 1960, the second of twins to William & Sharon (Gisse) Kroll on his greatgrandmother, Leona Lease’s birthday. His twin sister Vicky Lynn Kroll proceeded him in death on July 2, 1960. He passed away August 3, 2019 at Lake Billy Chinook (Madras) in Oregon at the age of 59. After his parents’ divorce, he lived with his grandmother, Pearl Tennant and his father in Scappoose where his father was Chief of Police. He then lived in Portland a short time when his father remarried. In 1968, his father married Patrea (Kristensen) Kroll and she was not only his step-mother but “mom” for 51 years. He was raised in St. Helens, Oregon where he attended school. He was a member of the Christian Church of Saint Helens and was an active member of the youth group when in high school. He was also a Police Cadet at St. Helens Police Department when he was in high school. He married Billie Charyle Ann (Cheri) Hopper on August 31, 1991 and became an instant dad to two girls; Nikita (Niki) Hopper who was five years old and Katrina (Katie) Hopper who was four years old. They were the light of his life and after his divorce from Cheri, he continued to move close to where they were living each time they moved. He adored his grandchildren Shyanne Morales, McKenna Morales, Devin Corbin, Morgan Corbin, Rylee Corbin,
Chase Wilson, Krystofer Wilson, and Logan Wilson. Rick had a serious heart attack in 2001 and Cheri and Scott Thornbrough graciously opened their home for him to be part of their extended family until his passing. He was preceded in death by all of his grandparents; his sister Vicky; his father Bill; his mother Sharon; and his half-brother Joey. He is survived by his sister and brother-in-law, Tammy and Dan Hines of Tillamook, Oregon; brother and sister-in law, Robert and Erin Kroll of Issaquah, Washington; brother Jeffrey Kroll of St. Helens, Oregon; “daughters” Nikita Hopper of Madras, Oregon and Katrina and Deidra Wilson of Albany, Oregon; nieces Marissa Kroll, Megan Kroll, Alyssa Kroll, Madison Kroll, and Victoria Campbell; nephews Michael Kroll and Carl Hines; cousins Trish Kroll-Shaffer (Paul), Bill Kroll (Stephanie), Angela (Gisse) Jacobs (Don), Sonny Gisse and Eric Gisse; grandchildren Shyanne Morales,
McKenna Morales, Devin Corbin, Morgan Corbin, Rylee Corbin, Chase Wilson, Krystofer Wilson, and Logan Wilson; and numerous second and third cousins. Rick loved to bowl and had many friends in St. Helens that he bowled with. He enjoyed reestablishing school friendships at his school reunion last year. He loved watching sports, he was an avid Trailblazer, Dodger and Viking fan but he especially loved watching his niece Megan play softball. He traveled to many of her tournaments to watch her play. He loved to go camping and was at Lake Billy Chinook when he passed quickly from an apparent heart attack after being diagnosed with cancer only two weeks previously. A celebration of life service will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 25, 2019 at the Christian Church of St. Helens, 185 South 12th Street, Saint Helens, Oregon. Reception to follow. Rick always wanted to place a headstone marker on Vicky’s gravesite. He will be buried next to his sister. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to Patrea Kroll for assistance in placing a headstone marker for both of them or to the Christian Church of St. Helens Memorial fund. There will be a “GO FUND ME” for donations. Rick loved family and his wish would be for you to continue to be involved with your family and love Jesus and love your family with all your heart.

Steven Ray Warren
Jan. 1, 1954 ~ Aug. 4, 2019 Steven Ray Warren, age 65, of St. Helens, Oregon passed away on August 4, 2019 at Spring Meadows Assisted Living from a longterm illness. Steve was born on January 1, 1954 in Longview, Washington and always felt extra special because the whole world celebrated his birthday. He spent his early childhood in Cathlamet, Washington, moving to St. Helens in the early 1960’s. He married Vickie in 1975. Steve’s career started at the age of 17 driving a truck for TEDS Furniture. It was that truck that gave him the desire to drive an 18-wheeler. After a few small companies, he started working for Lawrence Oil in St. Helens, Oregon. He drove for Dave Lawrence for 17 years until moving to Idaho, where he continued to drive fuel tankers. Upon moving back to St. Helens, he drove a short time for Wilcox & Flagel. In his younger years, Steve enjoyed the racing circuit, helping Don West and Howard Patton rebuild River City Speedway at the Columbia County Fairgrounds in the 1980’s. He was also on Don’s pit crew and later pitted for
Kirk Ray’s “Mouse” Racing Team. Steve was also an avid golfer and helped restart the Men’s Club at Wildwood Golf Course in the mid 1990’s. Steve became a Christian in 1996. He was involved with boys’ and girls’ camps, Bible studies, and played the drums with the worship team. Steve loved music of all kinds and could name the song, artist, album, and year of just about any song released from the 1960’s through the 1990’s.
He was a man with a big heart and loved God and his family, including his three children and six grandchildren. Steve is survived by his wife of 44 years Vickie Warren; sister Julie Warren; stepdaughter Jennie Warren all of St. Helens; daughter Angie Ramos of Warren, Oregon; son Chris Warren of Troy, Idaho; and six grandchildren. He was also very close to his surviving cousin Susie Hirschi of Scappoose, Oregon; aunt Joy and her husband John Jenkins of Kelso, Washington; son-in-law Miguel Ramos; and daughter-in-law Jeannette Warren. Steve was preceded in death by his parents Virgil and Shirley Warren; sister Barbara Warren; two brothers Kenny and Keith Warren, and his beloved companion dog, Supy. Services are pending.

As the improvement work intensifies along Cornelius Pass Road, Multnomah County Communications Officer Mike Pullen will issue updates to keep commuters and residents updated on the project. The following is Pullen’s latest Pass Update Work This Week • Earth grading continues at NW Kaiser Road where sight distance improvements will be made. • Clearing and grubbing vegetation at the main work sites continues. • Preparation work for blasting at the S-curves. Recent Work In addition to installing traffic control for the road closure and detour, the contractor mobilized for the road repairs, bringing in supplies and equipment. • At NW 8th Ave. between Skyline and Hwy. 30, the contractor removed asphalt where a curve will be realigned. • At the S-curves just north of Skyline Blvd., the contractor cleared vegetation and began building a drilling platform for the area that will be blasted with explosives. The S-curves will be realigned. • At NW Kaiser Road, the contractor removed contaminated soils and cleared vegetation. Traffic Since NW Cornelius Pass Road closed to through traffic on July 22, we’ve seen and responded to a number of traffic issues. Here are highlights from the first week of the road closure: Stop Sign Changes On July 22 stop signs were covered at several
locations along the detour route to improve traffic flow on the detour. Since then we have made several changes: All Locations The contractor installed back covers on the covered stop signs, to make it clearer to drivers approaching from other directions that the stop signs are covered.
Office (503-823-3333, Dial 5). Provide the location, date/time, license plate (if known) and vehicle description. If the incident is on a Multnomah County road, you can also email me (mike.j.pullen@multco.us). I’ll share it with Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, to follow-up with the vehicle owner. Traffic Safety
NW Old Cornelius Pass Road and NW Skyline Blvd. • Re-installed stop sign facing northbound traffic on Old Cornelius Pass Road, so northbound traffic continuing straight onto Skyline Blvd. (toward Columbia County) needs to stop. Traffic turning right onto Skyline (toward Portland) does not need to stop. • Project will install a stop sign on a low barricade next to the pole mounted stop sign, since drivers’ visibility can be impacted by sun glare in morning. • Remove vegetation to make stop signs more visible, add “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” signs, and “Stop Ahead” electronic sign. • Contractor will re-position construction trailer to improve sightlines for southbound drivers approaching intersection. NW Newberry Road and NW Skyline Blvd. Added “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” signs. Illegal Truck Trips Thanks to drivers who reported large trucks using the car detour. A truck making a delivery to a West Hills address can use the detour legally, but we have seen reports of trucks that appear to be making illegal throughtrips on the car detour. If you see a large truck you believe is making an illegal through-trip, you can: • Report it to the nonemergency number for Multnomah County’s Sheriff
Typically, traffic flow improves during construction as drivers get used to a new traffic pattern. A few tips to keep everyone safe this summer: • The detour route was designed to improve traffic flow for drivers using West Hills side roads. Drivers still need to look out for drivers entering and exiting driveways. • Be cautious passing through intersections where traffic control has changed. • Avoid narrow side roads like NW Logie Trail if possible, where it is difficult for two vehicles to pass. • Allow extra time for your trip. The closure of Cornelius Pass Road will allow contractor Wildish Standard Paving to construct safety improvements on Multnomah County’s five-mile section of the road. The road is scheduled to reopen in late September. This steep, winding and narrow section of NW Cornelius Pass Road has a long history of crashes. The project will reduce some of the rural road’s sharp curves, increase sight distance for drivers, improve road shoulders, and install caution signs, guardrails and barriers. For more information, visit www.multco.us/ cornpass. Read a series of special reports about the Cornelius Pass Improvement Project here online and in the Wednesday print editions of The Chronicle.

weekend in El Paso and Dayton is devastating, and Dan and I grieve with those who lost loved ones. Sadly, we’ve been here before. We must take a hard look at why hatred like this exists, and do all we can to make sure it has no place in our country,” said Governor Brown.
“Many of us feel powerless today, but there is power in your voice, and power in your vote, and I encourage you to leverage that to take action.” The full Presidential Proclamation will be made available on the White House’s website.

HOUSING
According to Graichen, the veterinary clinic has all its permits issued, and getting the facility up is only a matter of time. “It’s an investment in the Houlton area,” Graichen said about the veterinary clinic. A few new subdivisions are also in the works. One is Elk Ridge, which just completed phase six, and has 58 new lots. “I anticipate people to start submitting plans to start building homes up there pretty soon,” Graichen said. Dimsho said that the way the development is situated, on a good day, residents will be able to see downtown Portland from their homes. Another is Forest Trails, which Dimsho said will have 18 lots of single family homes. Graichen said the subdivision is getting close to submitting its final plat, at which point they can start building homes on the lots.
A final subdivision is in the works for an area next to Gable Road, at the site of the old transfer station, behind the small strip mall where Starbucks and MOD Pizza are located. According to Graichen, the city has received an application for a 238-unit apartment complex. However, the complex is contingent on a lot of things, and the project will not receive its land use approval until September, according to Dimsho. “I think the major sticking point for them is going to be traffic because that’s a huge impact to that intersection,” Dimsho said. An additional impact will be wetlands for the project, because there are a lot of wetlands at the site, according to Graichen. However, “A lot of that is already in motion,” Graichen said.
From Page A1 Graichen said as of yet, there are no official plans for those lots. At the intersection of 14th Street and Columbia Avenue, there is a large plot of land that often has a large excavator digging up the ground. That place, nicknamed the “Houlton Hole,” will be the site of Frank Robison’s Veterinary Services, an existing veterinary clinic that currently operates at the corner of Highway 30 and Firlock Park, according to Jennifer Dimsho, Associate City Planner. The area has been the site for many different businesses, like an Italian dry goods store, a grocery store, and an ice cream shop back in the early 1900s, Dimsho said.

Man jumps in Columbia to evade police JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
A man in St. Helens chose to jump in the Columbia River rather than be taken into custody on Tuesday afternoon, July 30. According to the St. Helens Police Department (SHPD), at around 1:30 p.m., officers attempted to take Brian Martin into custody on a parole and probation detainer in the downtown St. Helens area. “One of our officers saw him driving and attempted to stop him, but Brian had other thoughts and he sped away,” SHPD Sgt. Jose Castilleja said. Given Martin fled the scene in a reckless manner, officers discontinued the pursuit due to public safety
concerns. Not long after, Castilleja said officers spotted Martin running through Columbia View Park towards the waterfront and laid chase on foot, but Martin jumped into the river to evade them and began swimming toward Sand Island Marine Park. The Columbia County Sheriff’s Office assisted the SHPD in deploying two marine vessels, but Martin refused to board. Castilleja was on one of the boats attempting to negotiate Martin’s surrender to law enforcement and asked what the temperature of the water was, as the Columbia is known to be frigid. “It was 72 degrees in the July heat, so he got lucky with that, but we did give him a flotation device,” Castilleja said. Martin spent approximately an hour and a half in
the water as law enforcement and parole and probation officers negotiated with him as he floated. He ultimately surrendered and boarded the vessel, but upon reaching the shore, Martin attempted to flee a second time. “We were trying to get him medical attention and he just bolts,” Castilleja said. “We ended up having to tackle him and he started fighting officers. There was a scuffle. He was detained and put in handcuffs.” Martin was transferred to a Portland area hospital for evaluation, and Castilleja said charges are pending. Columbia City Police, Columbia Community Corrections, Clark County Fire and Rescue, Scappoose Fire District, and Columbia River Fire and Rescue also responded to the scene that afternoon.

Chief Deputy Murphy partners with Columbia River Driver Education JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
In an effort to educate young drivers on what to expect when they have contact with law enforcement during traffic stops, newly appointed Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Ryan Murphy met with the Summer 1 class of the Columbia River Driver Education Program on Saturday, July 27. Contact with law enforcement was the final topic covered in the summer class, according to the program’s instructor and owner, Richard Greene, and Murphy dropped by for over an hour to partake in a question and answer session with the students covering a wide range of topics. Murphy has stopped in for three classes now, and said he starts his time with the students by covering the basic things they should be carrying on them while driving
– a driver’s license, registration, proof of insurance – as well as the various reasons they might be pulled over for their safety and the safety of others. Then, Murphy opens it up for questions. “Most of the stuff they know pretty well. He provides a very thorough class,” Murphy said. “Matter of fact, my son has gone through his class before and I was surprised by the knowledge he gained there.” According to Greene, Murphy fielded questions on insurance, driving restrictions, impaired driving, and how to respond if pulled over by the police. “Having Deputy Murphy meet with the class is a great opportunity for these kids to get real life, positive interaction with the police and show them that getting pulled over, while not pleasant, doesn’t have to be traumatizing,” Greene said. Murphy said most of the
questions he received were general “what if’s” like, what if they forgot their driver’s license. “What if I’m doing five miles an hour over the speed limit? That’s okay, right?” Murphy said with a chuckle. “It’s those kinds of things.

I plan to be there about an hour and I’m usually there about two hours to answer those questions. They’ve all been really good questions.” Murphy said the most “off the wall” question he’d taken concerned whether or not a citizen had to allow law
enforcement to search their vehicle during a traffic stop or if they could refuse. Murphy said he went over their rights and, “yes, they could.” After the question and answer session with Murphy, Greene said the students took their final exam to complete

Graduate Luke Roth. JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net
Columbia County graduate Luke Roth has attended three of Columbia County’s high schools – Scappoose for his first two years, St. Helens for his junior year, and recently graduated after finishing out his high school career in Clatskanie. Now, he has signed a $132,000, four-year deal with Midland University in Fremont, Nebraska to play baseball, and was even offered a walk-on spot as the university football team’s kicker. Roth said he’s lived in Warren his whole life and ended up at Clastkanie High School when his father moved there to be closer to work. “We got a house up there and it just made it easier for him and it was a better opportunity for me,” Roth said. Roth began his baseball career in Scappoose and said when he transferred to St. Helens he “played pretty well” but wasn’t quite where he wanted to be in his game. “My junior year, I didn’t have a fantastic year. I think I hit 200. So, I went and played summer baseball in Longview for a club called Lower Columbia,” Roth said. “They helped me immensely, and when I went to Clastkanie, my averages went up.” He trained four days a week in baseball from the end of his junior year to the end of his senior year. The left-fielder ultimately
finished his high school career as an All-League player with a batting average at 380 and an on-base percentage of 485. He came in with 22 RBIs and 26 total hits. Roth then set up a recruiting profile online where he entered his statistics, recommendations from his coaches and videos of his performances. Midland, a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, sent him a message. “They thought I’d be a good fit for their program,” Roth said. “I ended up going and doing a visit and I really liked the visit.” Roth, a self-professed “sports-a-holic,” plans to major in sports management with an ideal destination as a college athletic director. He discussed his future goals with the university, and as it turned out, they didn’t have a good kicker for their football team. Roth said he’d never played football until his
senior year but took on the role as defensive back for the Clastkanie tigers. Fortunately, the team filmed all of their games. “I was able to pull clips of me kicking and I went over, and I showed them and that’s kind of what got me that walk-on opportunity,” Roth said. “I’d originally intended to just go for baseball.” While the kicker position does not factor into the scholarship, his baseball signing will provide $30,000 a year towards his schooling. He said his parents have supported him “all the way.” “It will be a little difficult going so far from home, but they have a school system that I’ll be able to be home three months a year, their winter break is really extended,” Roth said. “My parents are really excited for me. No one in my family has really gone anywhere in sports so they really want to see how far I can go with this.”

Steering towards the end of the 2019 season MIKE WEBER Chronicle Guest Column
The Columbia County Racing Association (CCRA) is steering towards the end of the 2019 season. The 10th event of the 14race CCRA schedule is Aug. 17 followed by four more races, including the Sept. 14 season finale, at the River City Speedway in St. Helens. CCRA division leaders Devon Reed, Zander Koch, Myke Landis and Clyde White each captured main event victories on Aug. 3, in the Hudson’s Garbage sponsored stock car races at the speed way. Reed of Woodland, Washington, won the Sportsman Division main event and Koch of Vancouver, won the Tracer Division (youth’s age 11-17) main. Landis of West Linn won the Four Cylinder Division main. White from Longview, won the Modified Division main. The quartet each leads their division point standings with five events remaining. TJ Wegner, of St. Helens, won the Sunset Challenge/ Tuner Division main. In the Northwest Focus Midgets first ever appearance in St. Helens, Alden Ostrom, of Sedro Wooley, Washington took the checkered flag to capture the main event. Zach Dalrymple led the initial lap of the Tuner Division main and then a frightening crash involving Matt Brown of St. Helens, Longview’s Dan McDonald and defending series champion Bob Berg, of St. Helens, happened on the second circuit around the quarter-mile clay oval. The 13 cars in the race were accelerating down the front straightaway and all were close together, with some even three-wide on the track in a tightly packed group. Berg, 56, got sideways and crashed into the front straight concrete retaining wall and then somehow managed to get his Cozy Lawn Maintenance sponsored 1997 Dodge Neon headed down the exit ramp to the pits. Behind Berg was a huge mess though and McDonald’s 2004 Economy Auto Wrecking Nissan Sentra actually went on top of Brown’s car and then got airborne momentarily before landing awkwardly on top of Berg’s car. The two cars were off the track on the pit road exit ramp up against another protective concrete barrier located adjacent to the concession stand. It was indeed a terrible accident and fortunately, nobody was injured as the safety equipment in the race cars and on the track helped prevented both drivers from getting hurt. However, Berg and McDonald were both unable to resume racing as their cars sustained extensive damage. Following a lengthy red flag caution period to stop the race, Dalrymple continued leading on the lap two restart

and he led the next seven circuits. Wegner, 33, moved in front on lap 10 after passing Dalrymple on the back straightaway. Wegner led the next 20 circuits of the 30-lap race to get the win in his 2006 Ram Light Truck Salvage sponsored Sentra. Wegner won by eight car lengths over Kelso’s Joel Davis in a 1996 Economy Auto Wrecking sponsored Nissan Altima. “It was the kind of a win that I don’t really feel too proud of because so many cars got wrecked,” Wegner said. “It was still a good win though and I had lots of fun. I think that I’m leading the Sunset Challenge point standings, which is the only four races that I’ll compete in this year. I hope to win the championship in that series, which includes two races here and two at Sunset Speedway in Banks.” Wegner (2015) and the 59-year-old Davis (2017) are both former Four Cylinder Division champions. Dalrymple took third, followed by Scott Beaudoin, Landis, Lynn Yeaman, Logan Jones and Darrin Rye. Landis did the impressive double duty driving while competing in two CCRA motorsport classifications with his 2003 Tri Pod Development/Landis & Landis Construction sponsored 2003 Ford Focus. Landis, 47 and Cody Jones won heat races and McDonald won the trophy dash. Landis took the lead in the eight-car, Four Cylinder Division main after passing Tiffany Berg of St. Helens, on lap two. Rainier’s Dick Gaboury, another former CCRA champion (2013 Four Cylinder), maneuvered up from an eighth place starting position and was right behind Landis on the second lap. The two frontrunners then proceeded to compete in an exciting bumper-to-bumper and at times, a side-by-side battle throughout the 25-lap race. Gaboury, 70, was alongside Landis’ Focus several
times with his 1992 Economy Auto Wrecking Sentra and had a chance a couple of times to pass for the lead. “It was an awesome race with Landis and him and I were neck and neck the entire race,” Gaboury said. He who won the previous Four Cylinder Division main event on July 27. “After I came from the back and got into second, I felt really good and I was just waiting for Landis to make one little mistake to give me an opportunity to pass, but he never did that. He can drive well, there’s no doubt about that. It was a great race. We gained some points in the standings and we might be in second place in the division now, which would be great,” Gaboury said. “I’m just trying to show all these boys how well that I can drive.” Landis somehow managed to hold off the hard charging Gaboury and come out on top for the victory by four car lengths. Yeaman, another double duty driver, took third followed by John Brown, Tiffany Berg, Sharmaine Jobanek, Christopher Lee and Sande Simmet. Yeaman, of Gresham, and Simmet, of Vancouver, won heat races and Landis won the trophy dash. “I think that I probably competed in a total of nearly 100 laps with two trophy dashes, two heats, two mains and practice,” Landis said. He leads the Four Cylinder point standings while he’s also a top contender for the Rookieof-the-Year Award. “I feel like I’m in good condition to do that,” he said. “I work out all the time and I have a healthy lifestyle, so it really pays off out there on the track. It was a great race with Dick and I knew that if got around me on the outside, then he might be able to pass me, and it would be really hard to catch him. We had a good, clean and one heck of an exciting race and Dick congratulated me after it was

over.” Reed, the defending Sportsman champion, continues to enjoy success while he’s seeking a second straight title. Reed, 35, won the trophy dash with his Dancin’ Bare Tavern/Reed’s Automotive sponsored Chevrolet. Reed took the lead in the main event after passing leader David Weaver of Portland on lap four and he remained up front the remainder of the 20-lap race to notch his fifth main event this season. Terry King, of Warren, won the heat race and he took second place. Weaver was third, followed by Red Smith, Dennis Tower, Marty Wallace and Ken Kaiser.” “We had seven cars in the Sportsman class which is more than we’ve had recently, so that was pretty good,” said Reed, who son Martin, 14, competes in the Tracer Division in a 1989 Toyota Corolla. “Terry did a really good job in his Street Stock car and he usually does pretty well whenever he competes in the Sportsman Division. It was more exciting since there were more cars this week and I enjoyed competing in both divisions and I had lots
of fun. Martin is improving and he’s getting better every week. This is his first year of motorsports, so he doesn’t really have as much experience as some of the other kids.” Reed, who is also a double duty driver, competed in the Modified Division and he led the first seven laps of the three-car main event. White passed Reed on lap eight and led the next 12 circuits of the 20-lap race. White won by eight car lengths over Reed and recorded his fifth main event win this year in his PNE Construction/Eric’s Frame Repair sponsored open-wheel modified race car. Reed was runner-up and defending Modified Division champion Stephen Kaptur, of St. Helens, was third. “We were hoping to have more than three cars, but we’ll have a lot more in the Labor Day weekend race (Aug. 31-Sept. 1),” said White. “I’ve checked our lap times and I know that we’re just as fast as most of the other cars that have been here at some previous events. I’m ready to see more cars come out here. I don’t know how Devon competes in two classes or how he finds enough
energy to do that. It looks like I’ll have a good chance to win the championship. I think there’s going to be some guys coming out here to compete with me soon like Brad and Jeremy Martin, of St. Helens, and those guys are really good drivers who are always fast and tough to beat.” Koch led from start-tofinish to capture the 15 lap Tracer Division (youth’s age 10-17) main event in his Dodge Neon. Koch, 10, was a two-time winner as he also won the trophy dash. Paige Gump, of St. Helens, won the heat race. Ostrom started on the pole position of the 15-car Northwest Focus Midgets main and he led the caution-free, 30-lap race from start-tofinish. Hannah Lindquist, of Shoreline, Wash., was runnerup, followed by Seth Hespe, of Alger, Wash., series points leader Nick Evans of Granite Falls, Wash. and Elijah Gibbs of Wilsonville. Longview’s Guy Tow won the trophy dash and he was eighth in the main and his dad Guy Tow Sr. of Rainer, finished 11th. Shane Smith, Evans and Ashley Thompson won heat races.

Do you know your beer? Ten perfect occasions to enjoy a beer this summer gives them more depth of flavour and often, higher alcohol content. In general, pale ales are slightly fruity and tangy to the taste. Ideally served slightly warmer than lagers — around six degrees Celsius — they perfectly complement fine cheese and charcuterie platters.
Amber, white, black or brown; bitter, sour, sweet or fruity; hoppy, malty, grainy or smoky — beer comes in a staggering variety of forms. Faced with so many different flavours and styles, choosing the right brew for your tastes can prove quite challenging. But you don’t need to be a connoisseur to make an informed decision. Equipped with a few basic concepts, anyone can navigate the world of beer. Are you familiar with these different types? LAGERS Typically pale-bodied and light-tasting, lagers are probably the most commonly consumed of all beers. They’re in high demand at local bars and sporting events, and are often served ice-cold in a frosted glass. With their low alcohol content and pleasant but subtle flavour, lagers pair nicely with your favourite seafood dishes — especially on a warm summer’s day. PALE ALES Ales are fermented at higher temperatures than lagers, a process which
DARK ALES The colour of beer comes from malted barley, and the amount of heat used in the malting process determines how pale or dark the final product. Deeply roasted malts, for instance, produce darker beers. Beers that are more amber or brown in colour typically have a rich, sweet caramel taste, and aren’t as fizzy as lighter beers. These darker brews usually pair best with spicier cuisines. STOUTS Robust, creamy and opaquely black, stouts are best served close to room temperature in order to distinguish the delicate flavours of chocolate, coffee and oats characteristic of this Irish-style brew. A palatable choice, stouts pair nicely with hearty foods like stews, game meat and rich desserts. This list merely scratches the surface of the seemingly endless variety of beers on the market today. Craft breweries near and far are constantly coming up with creative varieties and innovative brewing techniques, each more specialized than the last. Enjoy discovering them all! Cheers!
Whether you prefer bigbrand lagers or obscure artisanal IPAs, one thing’s for sure: beer is a perfect beverage for summer. Here are ten typical sunny-season events that pair exceptionally well with a cold one: 1. Picnics. Load up the cooler with crudités, cold cuts and cheese — and don’t forget the beer! You’re all set for a lovely picnic in good company. 2. Weddings. Summer is synonymous with outdoor weddings. Long live the happy couple and long live beer! 3. National holidays. Proudly raise your glass (of beer, of course!) in honour of your fellow citizens during the year’s most patriotic celebrations. 4. Festivals. Grab your friends and enjoy the summer’s most popular exhibitions, fairs and festivals, beer in hand. 5. Sporting events. Quench your thirst with a nice cold brew while watching your favourite team take the lead. Victory (or defeat) never tasted so good. 6. Corn roasts. Who doesn’t love corn on the cob? Many self-proclaimed foodies add beer to the cooking water to subtly enhance the flavour.

7. Moving day. After a hard day’s work of lifting and moving boxes, you deserve a little treat. Pizza and beer should do the trick! 8. Concerts. Every summer, the sounds of jazz, pop, rock and other musical genres take over the city. Whether you choose to dance the night away or to sing under the summer sun, a beer is always right for the occasion. 9. Barbecues. Is there anything better than spending your summer evenings with some of your closest friends, grilling steaks and tickling your taste buds with quality lagers and ales? 10. Prom. Your graduating year is a milestone worth celebrating! And if you aren’t old enough to drink, don’t fret: non-alcoholic brews are easier to find and better tasting than ever.
