The St. Helens City Council is moving forward with a new parks fees schedule, which will replace the current system of exclusive use, half day or full day reservations. The new schedule will now consist of session reservations of threehour blocks throughout the day for parties to sign up for online, beginning in September. Parks and fields that will use the new system include McCormick Park, Campbell Park, Godfrey Park, Columbia View Park, 6th Street Park and fields near the Recreation Center, often referred to as the Boise Fields. The system includes all the parks’ associated fields as well as the Veterans Pavillion and the Gazebo Amphitheater for McCormick Park and Columbia View Park, respectively. While current fees range from $10 to $40 for different half- or full day uses, the new system ranges from $5 to $25 per session depending on the field. The schedule change also includes an increase in lighting charges from $10 to $25, which reflects the demand charges and light increases from the Columbia River People’s Utility District (CRPUD), which have incurred over the last several years, but have not yet been accounted for in parks fees, according to the resolution. Individuals who book the fields will have to pay the lighting fees for evening practice sessions. At the city council’s regular session on Aug. 21, Jeff Kroll, president of the St. Helens Softball League, along with Andrea Heart, registration manager, requested the city be lenient with their organization regarding fees on the softball fields near the recreation center. Kroll suggested they have their fee be waived at least partially. Kroll said he put a lot of hours into maintaining the fields with no monetary compensation, and presented the councilors with evidence of hours worked as well as photos showing before and after pictures of the states of the fields. Kroll said he put 165.5 hours

Sometimes those navigating the mental health system just need a place to land with like-minded peers who understand what they’re going through and have been there themselves. They need someplace to hang out, to connect, maybe play a few games, and to socialize when their illness might otherwise tell them to isolate themselves. With that in mind, the Jordan Center will be seeing big changes this year in an effort to expand their program and make the building more comfortable, thanks to new direction from Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) and community partnerships with Wauna Federal Credit Union, NAMI Oregon and donor Peggy Hammond. The Jordan Center, located at 297 S. 1st Street, first opened in 2012 and has been a resource for CCMH clients and community members seeking support and alternatives to traditional mental health services. The center is named for Nick Jordan, a long-time, well-liked client who passed away from cancer. Hammond was his mother and is credited by those involved as being a major force in helping secure needed funds, as

initial funding came from a state grant and private donors. “Peggy would say that this center was the key to him having quality of life,” CCMH Public Relations and Director of Development, Hope Wirta said. According to Wirta, the Jordan Center came about after several years of planning by a Consumer Council that was organized and mentored by Linda Pritchett of CCMH. The council incorporated ideas from the recovery movement, which focused on empowering mental health clients through peer support and other clientcentered, non-traditional methods. After the center opened, the peers working there splintered off and

created their own organization and board, with a plan to become a private non-profit. However, this never came to fruition. So, in 2018, after spending some years floating the rent and bills, CCMH began taking a more active role in overseeing Jordan Center activities. According to The Jordan Center’s Clinical Director, Ben Weaver, those on the Jordan Center board have now been asked to be a part of an Advisory Council, who will continue to retain input into how the center is run. CCMH Executive Director Julia Jackson said CCMH stepped in to take ownership of the center, to ensure it had the finances and the staffing it needed, but wants to keep

the program in line with the same community investment model it has always been, run by Peer Support Specialists and volunteers. “I would say we’re just in the infancy stages and have a really exciting future ahead of how we’re going to grow this center and we’re not going to do it on our own,” Jackson said. “I think there are some exciting possibilities with some of our other key partners and players in the community that we are absolutely going to approach and involve, whether on a staffing level, financial investment level, referral level – let’s get this place popping. Let’s have this be a main hub.” Jackson envisions the program will work much in the way the St. Helens Recreation Center is operating to provide engagement for community members, with the Jordan Center’s eyes on supporting those with mental health struggles. “This could be so much more and that’s why we really stepped in. We want to get it there, but we’re going to do it through staying true to that peer model and community investment,” Jackson said. Wauna Federal Credit Union was the first to step in to pledge some

Medicine Wheel Recovery Services helps participants find better lives and taken the best of everything and tried to incorporate it here,” Howtopat said.

CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

When Kamala Tewee first heard about Medicine Wheel Recovery Services in June of 2017, her life was in chaos. Tewee was living from couch to couch and struggling with addiction. She had never been able to successfully parent any of her five children. Previous efforts had led to recovery, but she had recently relapsed. Around that time, Tewee found out she was pregnant again. A practicing Shaker, Tewee met Clarissa, the daughter of Tana Howtopat, Co-executive Director of Medicine Wheel, at a church meeting. Clarissa told Tewee about the program, and the two kept in touch with each other for more than a year. “I’d call her and tell her what I was going through,” Tewee said. “She finally asked me if I wanted to change my life around, and I said yes, and she picked me up. I had a really rough road. I believe the light came when I met Clarissa and I came here. She has helped me get to

Howtopat and Pam Councell founded the nonprofit after having been addiction counselors themselves.

Medicine Wheel employs ten people, who serve as counselors or mentors. The program treats people who have the Oregon Health Plan open card, also known as fee-for-service, which provides health care to eligible Native Americans and Alaska Natives. According to Howtopat, the program is set up to be approximately six months, although some patients stay longer and some stay shorter. On a patient’s first visit, he or she will partake in an initial assessment with a counselor who will create a Service Plan for the patient. All patients will take part in at least one support group a day, and sometimes two or three support groups a day. The first 30 days of a patient’s stay,

It’s not often The Chronicle has the chance to acknowledge locals who run in the races that annually come through St. Helens. The familiar sight of weary runners navigating their way down Highway 30 is now a yearly staple as we adjust our traffic around them and patiently

wait for a group of runners to pass through an intersection. But who are these people? And why would they put themselves through such a grueling endeavor? This year, St. Helens’ own Columbia Community Mental Health (CCMH) gathered a team of runners to compete in Hood to Coast over the weekend, composed of employees, a board member and a few community members.

“As always, during those torture stretches where you’re running on broken legs at some ungodly hour, I always wonder why I keep doing this,” CCMH Executive Director Julia Jackson said. “199 miles from Mt. Hood to Seaside, a team of 12 passing the baton over 30 hours, three legs of almost 20 miles total … very little sleep, wet wipe showers, stuffed into the back of a Suburu, and

constant foam rolling. And as always, I’m glad I did it. Pain is knowing you’re alive and pushing yourself further than you had before.” Board Vice President, Brandee Dudzic, said although challenging, she was glad she’d done it and thought it was important that the board be represented at such events. “As the CCMH Board of Directors Vice President,

I don’t just show up once a month for a meeting. I’m involved in so many ways, and the Hood to Coast relay was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the staff better,” Dudzic said. “I’m very proud of this team and the support we showed one another during this delightful little suffer-fest.” Jackson said Exchange 2 was the most difficult for the team, a leg of the race the

team had to run from Portland to Scappoose in the middle of the day on Friday. “We all agreed with the drivers who were thinking, ‘they signed up for this, it’s their own crazy fault,’” Jackson joked. According to Jackson, the team’s finishing time should be posted this week. “So,” she asked, “with that hot sell, who’s with me next year?”

recovery.” “Peer support is integral to recovery. Being integrated in your community, to be able to go out like the average Joe, to go engage in some games and some activity and some lunch – that is recovery and community integration,” Jackson said. “We’ll stay true to those principles and hope to be able to do it up on a whole other scale.” Ultimately, Jackson said, she believes this kind of work is the next wave of what needs to happen in Columbia County in addressing the community’s mental health needs. What’s been happening up until now, she said, is that the behavioral

health community supports the behavioral health community – and it needs to be acknowledged that this is not multiple sectors in silos. “This needs to be a crosssector investment and the base, tier one health of our community, which is mental health. The issue is out there – it’s happening to friends, families, neighbors. It’s not a behavioral health problem or a school district problem,” Jackson said. “This impacts all sectors, both private business and nonprofit. I think this is a really good example and it’s paving the way to show that there is already cross-sector investment in this.”

high-level thing for Wauna, specifically in Columbia County, because this is a place we’ve been for around 52 years. So, when it comes to something like this, I said, ‘Yeah, absolutely.’ We want to be involved on any level and that’s why I’m sitting here today, because we believe in community reinvestment.” Currently, the center is predominantly run and managed by Peer Support Specialist Kim LaPlante, who spends about 20 hours a week there. She keeps the building open, makes lunch (for which about 30 people show up regularly to eat and volunteer) and coordinates activities.

The Jordan Center will always be free, though donations are asked for, and no one will ever be turned away. It is a place open to all, whether they are clients of CCMH or simply a community member looking for someplace to connect. Those involved have already been at work cleaning up the building, and have plans to make the place more comfortable, beginning with a facelift and some more comfortable seating.

Back to school: St. Helens School District prepares for another school year CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net

The St. Helens School District is preparing for the 2019/2020 school year and has released some important information for students and parents to be aware of. Information includes registration and first-day dates and start times, areas each school will focus on, as well as other need-to-know tidbits of information. The High School The first day of school for St. Helens High School differs by grade. Ninth grade students will be Tuesday, Sept. 3, and they will begin the day with an assembly in the gym at 8:20 a.m. All other students will start on Wednesday, Sept. 4, beginning with an assembly at the gym at 8:20 a.m. Staff officials state students should start school with a writing utensil, a 3-ring binder and a college-ruled notebook. Students will receive more information from their teachers about what additional supplies they will need. Students should also be wary of the improvements happening on Gable Road. Expect only the westbound lane on Gable Road to be open. Parents should drop off

students at the Firlock Park Boulevard access road. According to school principal, Katy Wagner, the school will focus on three themes this year to be the focus of their professional work. One goal is to work to build a mission statement. “It is time to get stakeholders involved in refining and committing to that vision,” Wagner said. Another theme is to build a formal system where teachers collaborate to work together on practice. Their third theme is to increase student connection to the high school. “Purposefully ensuring that each student has an adult connection in the building and working to help students believe they can succeed in high school and beyond could positively help shift school culture,” Wagner said. Part of achieving these goals, according to Wagner, are the new 9th grade academies: Cascade Olympic and Siskiyou. “These academies allow a small group of teachers to work together collaboratively with the same group of students to create a community within the school,”

Wagner said. Wagner said this last goal is particularly embodied in the school’s overarching theme: “Be here. Be you. Belong.” “We will be using the Oregon Department of Education Equity Lense in all our decision-making and practices,” Wagner said. The Middle School Students at St. Helens Middle School (SHMS) will have a brand-new campus to walk into on their first day. “Our administration has been meeting weekly with the project managers to monitor the progress of the building and ensure it will be a safe and comfortable learning environment for

our teachers and students on the first day of school,” SHMS Principal Cris Gwilliam said. 6th and 7th grade students will begin school on Tuesday, Sept. 3, which will be a full day. Students will not have to bring school supplies or PE clothes that day. Students will begin their day by reporting to the cafeteria at 8:30 a.m. They will receive their class schedules and locker assignments later in the day. All students will attend school on Wednesday, Sept. 4, which is also a full school day and students will have to bring school supplies. 8th grade students will receive their schedules in the cafeteria that morning.

Officials want students to know that classrooms in the academic wing will be finished, while contractors will still be working the activities wing and gym floors. School pictures will be taken on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Students will be able to order pictures the week before, when order forms will be sent home. All students will need to have their picture taken, whether or not they purchase photos in order to receive an ID card. Students can purchase PE clothes for $15 or bring their own. Students can also pay the Student Activity Fee for $20, which will offset the cost of different activities, field trips, assemblies,

All elementary schools will have their New Year Launch on August 28 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. The New Year Launch will be an opportunity for parents to find out their child’s classroom assignments, drop off their student’s school supplies and meet their teacher. Each New Year Launch takes place at the student’s elementary school. All schools will have information available throughout the year on their respective Facebook pages, with Lewis and Clark Elementary School giving information through their Parent Teacher Organization Facebook Page. Lewis and Clark Elementary School will contact parents and guardians through email, texts, the school website, their electronic readerboard in front of the school, flyers and the school district app. Columbia City Elementary School will contact parents through their weekly newsletter, their website and calendar, and their Remind App: https:// www.remind.com/join/ h4kf734.

CCCHD hits the streets to raise awareness

Kelli Nicholson/The Chronicle

JULIE THOMPSON chronicle1@countrymedia.net

Members of the Columbia County Coalition for Human Dignity (CCCHD) have been taking to the streets on Friday afternoons to raise awareness around human dignity issues. Most recently, on Friday, August 23, the group stood alongside the highway at Totem Pole Park in Scappoose in support of more commonsense gun control. For organizer Georgiana Gordon, the battle is personal. In May of 1970, while a sophomore at a private Catholic girl’s high school in the San Francisco Bay Area, she was shot along with five other girls in a school shooting that was never properly reported to authorities. “Just as I heard the second shot and felt the hot sting of something piercing my hand and arm, my farm-girl memory bank clicked in. Those were gunshots; I was shot. Several other girls were hit simultaneously, and the screaming

started,” Gordon said. “The shooting stopped with a third shot. All in all, five of us were shot; all of the shots were flesh injuries. We were very lucky.” Gordon recalls hearing male laughter and voices between shots, and believes it was their intention to scare them rather than to kill them. The shooting, she said, was covered up by a protective diocese, the girls were treated by a campus doctor, and the police were never contacted about it. She said the injury that won’t heal is the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that rears its ugly head every time there is another mass shooting. “For the first 48 hours after a shooting, we are filled with anguish, pain, frustration and anger at our elected officials for letting gun laws, or the lack of them, get so out of control,” Gordon said. “I am done waiting for Congress to do something.” While The Chronicle was on site conducting interviews, the group got a few interesting

responses from cars driving past – some gave thumbs up, some gave thumbs down – while Gordon was happy no one used a more vulgar gesture. A young man stopped by to chat, wanting to discuss the semantics of “assault weapons” and his suggestion to change the term on one of the signs in the future. CCCHD member Arthur Scharf said he participated because he believes around 80 or 90 percent of the country supports commonsense gun control. He said the CCCHD has a long history of such protests – they were out every Sunday for a year and a half following the start of the Iraq war. “It’s a bit of a tradition,” Scharf said. That tradition will continue for the next few weeks, with the group tackling various issues to raise awareness around. It won’t always be about guns or active shooters, but Gordon said they will be issues the CCCHD feels are paramount to human dignity.

Viewpoints Local law enforcement leaders call for action to correct SB 1013 JEFF AUXIER Columbia County District Attorney BRIAN PIXLEY Columbia County Sheriff

This July the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill 1013, a bill that narrowed the definition of Aggravated Murder and drastically reduced the number of murderers in this state who are eligible for the death penalty. While

reasonable minds can differ on the morality of capital punishment, we should all agree that our laws need to be clearly written and not cause unnecessary harm to victims. Unfortunately, this confusing law has done exactly that – harm victims. Sheriff Pixley and I are advocating for a special legislative session so that the law can be fixed. The sponsors of the bill said that it would not be retroactive and would only

apply to future crimes. That was important to ensure that victims won’t have to relive tragedies by having their cases reopened. Now it turns out that the bill is retroactive after all, and some victims may have to suffer the agony of having their cases reopened again. Sheriff Pixley and I will never fully understand what a family of a murder victim goes through, but we know enough to know that they shouldn’t have to go through

it more than once. The law as it is currently written not only creates uncertainty for victims, but also for Columbia County law enforcement and prosecutors statewide. Regardless of where we stand on the death penalty, we all want truth in legislating. The death penalty bill as it is currently written fails in this regard, and Governor Brown should call a special session of the Legislature to fix it. Last Thursday, several of

my fellow District Attorneys and I met with the Governor to discuss a fix to Senate Bill 1013. We had a simple and modest request: call a one-day special session that makes it clear that the new death penalty laws only apply to crimes committed after the bill’s effective date. I was very encouraged by the governor’s willingness to hear our concerns. We have also spoken with Senator Betsy Johnson and our Representative Brad Witt. They

voted against this bill to begin with, in part to avoid this chaos and confusion. Brown and the legislators who supported this bill now must decide whether the assurances made on the floor of Oregon’s Capitol mean something. Families of murder victims deserve closure and finality. Sheriff Pixley and I hope you will join us in our call for a one-day special session to fix the state’s death penalty law and stop it from being retroactive.

Why an anti-trust safe harbor is the answer the news business needs News consumption is growing exponentially, but for the past decade, the revenue to news publishers has been on a decline. This is, in large part, because of the unbalanced relationship between news publishers and tech platforms. But that relationship could be changing thanks to the bipartisan introduction of the “Journalism Competition and Preservation Act” by House Antitrust Subcommittee Chairman David Cicilline (D-RI) and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Mem-

ber Doug Collins (R-GA). A bipartisan companion bill was also introduced by Senator John Neely Kennedy (R-LA), Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Antitrust Subcommittee. The bill, which would provide news publishers a safe harbor in which to collectively negotiate with platforms like Google and Facebook, could help news producers receive the fair distribution and monetiza-

tion terms we’ve long been fighting to get from the duopoly. Because of their market dominance – and access to billions of users – the major tech platforms set the rules for news publishers and determine how journalism is displayed, prioritized and monetized. They also capture the vast majority of all digital advertising dollars because of their unique ability to collect consumer data across the web. All of this has degraded the relationship between

news readers and publishers and rewarded low quality “click-bait” over quality information from real journalists. It has also greatly reduced the financial ability of publishers to invest in newsrooms at a time when our society most needs great, substantive reporting. It is simply not possible for any individual news publisher to change the basic terms offered by the online behemoths. They are simply much too big and much too influential. However, there is power

in numbers, which is what we need in order to have a fighting chance. The antitrust safe harbor bill would provide a four-year window for news publishers to collectively negotiate for fair terms that would flow earned subscription and advertising dollars back to the publishers, while protecting and preserving Americans’ right to access quality news. Parameters included in the bill ensure that these negotiations would strictly benefit Americans and news publishers at-large, not just

one or a few publishers. If passed, this bill would allow our industry to more fully control our product by allowing market forces, not two companies, to determine how and for what price our content is offered. It would allow everyone from small local publications to major online publishers the opportunity to receive a return on their investment and therefore sustain quality journalism, which is necessary for an informed democracy and civic society.

Voices of the Community Society turning away from religion Although Arthur C. Clarke authored his novel CHILDHOOD’S END in 1953, its message is extremely relevant even today. In this sci-fi classic, Overlords appear in giant spaceships from another, fardistant planet, whose civilization is more advanced than ours. Over some years of rule, these beings bring about global peace, security and prosperity. However, it is mankind’s stubborn nature to make science preeminent (example, Darwinism), rather than religion, (example, the Fall). The proclivity to use only political dialogue, and an interest in the occult and paranormal phenomena, superseded the Scriptural foundation of the five thousand years-old concept of Divine Revelation in the novel.

thinking was, as the final pages of this forward-looking novel were turned? I present this question, because our present civilization exhibits the same subtle exclusion of God while seeking to address the pressing issues of these times. David Doerr Rainier

USA should impose tariffs Sincere Climate Change alarmists might consider the argument that the USA has made great strides in reducing bad gas(ses), but also, most other nations seem (by their efforts) far less concerned with their gasses. There’s argument, too, of how we Americans are better positioned to degasify. I contend that to more universally make reductions, perhaps a bit of tough love may be a necessary tool. Since costs associated with gas-control -- that’s what it is -- are borne by each society, perhaps the

USA should impose tariffs on exporting countries based on their efforts and contributions toward fighting the alarm menace. E.g., big bad China has been given a pass though they have the world’s number two economy, have taken our manufacturing jobs but has not assumed responsibility for reducing emissions. Why? USA business and political elites have through treaties abrogated Chinese cooperation; same can be said for other countries. So, if an American industry must pay 5% of their business expense to throttle their gas, and another country has shown no effort toward throttling, perhaps said country should see a 5% tariff on goods exported to the good old USA. Just a concept, but why not consider going down that road? If Climate alarmists are sincere about urgency, shouldn’t they be more concerned about cutting gas than being worried whether others think they’re nice (while blowing gas)? Wouldn’t Tariffs help induce countries to better assist

Green New Deal is a good deal ““On Riverkeepers and climate change” (Aug 22) A new, detailed version of the Green New Deal’s energy plan shows it can more than pay for itself, with two-thirds of the cost paid by private investment (vox.com May 18, 2019). The remaining third will be massively counterbalanced by a $500 billion annual increase in US GDP (IPCC). That will be mainly because when solar and wind energy are scaled up nationwide, they’ll be “essentially free” by 2030 (Financial Times, UBS, Aug 2018). Clean energy will also create over 8 million high-wage, local, permanent

Missionaries to recount experiences This coming Sunday at 10:30 at the community church that meets in the grade school across the highway from the Grocery Outlet in Rainier a group of locals including teenagers that went to Fiji on a mission are going to recount their extraordinary experiences. Among other acts of God, a woman received her sight after prayer with an American teenager. Though I attend church in Scappoose, I invite reporters, editors, skeptics, all who would like to ask questions of these 7 to come. They will be happy to give an account.

Out & About

2nd annual Columbia County Dog LKKC dog show arrives in Fair to be hosted in Scappoose Columbia County this weekend Columbia Humane Society is hosting their second annual Columbia County Dog Fair this month, to include various games for both you and your pets, as well as various vendors on site. The Dog fair will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 7, at Scappoose Veterans Park, located at 52590 Captain Roger Kucera Way. The event is free this year, but if you would like to make a donation to the shelter they would greatly appreciate it. Vendor booths, food carts and product demonstrations will be happening all day, along with a schedule of events: • 1 p.m. - Costume Contest • 2 p.m. - Dog Talent Contest “It’s the year of the dog,

so what could be more fitting than a day out with your family, friends, and dogs,” officials said via press release. “Get out of the house for a fun day with your dog, shop at incredible vendor booths, watch the displays, participate in some of the attractions, and then stop in the Doggie Play area.” The Dog Fair welcomes your well-behaved and leashed dogs to enjoy the fair with you. Here are some useful tips for bringing your pet: • Potty your pet before you head to the park which will make it easier for you and others. • There will be poop bags and water available in the park • Dogs must be kept on non-retractable leashes. • Dogs must be licensed

and current on all age appropriate vaccinations. • Do not bring female animals that are in heat. • Do not bring animals with bite history. • No animals of any kind may be sold on, or near, the event grounds The Columbia Humane Society is a 501c3 established in 1985, dedicated to assisting the community in the successful re-homing and training of adoptable animals. The shelter takes in owner surrendered domestic dogs and cats, and is a destination shelter for pets that would otherwise be euthanized, depending on their space and financial means. The society’s budget relies on donations from volunteers, the public, small grants, and fund-raising events.

Dogs of all breeds, from Affenpinschers to Yorkshire Terriers, will parade through the Columbia County Fair Grounds this weekend, on Saturday, August 31 and Sunday, September 1, to compete in the LongviewKelso Kennel Club’s (LKKC) American Kennel Club competition. There will be two complete shows, one on each day, with both culminating in Best in Show awards, according to Show Chair, Jim Corbett. The shows will begin at 8 a.m. on both days and will conclude around 4 p.m.

“The judges are from Oregon, Washington, Maryland, British Columbia, and Ontario, Canada,” Corbett said. “Each day we have conformation competitions where each breed is judged against a breed standard provided by the breed’s parent club.” Corbett said there will also be obedience and rally competitions each day, which involve performance activities for the dogs such as heeling, retrieving, jumping, scent detection, and more. New to the LKKC this year is the Beginner Puppy Competition, for pups who are four to six months old. Corbett said the puppies are

judged on conformation, but there is additional emphasis on socialization and getting puppies and owners used to the world of AKC dog shows. There is no admission to the show, but there will be a parking fee of $8 a day at the fairgrounds, and Corbett said there will be a number of vendors who sell dog-related items on site. The LKKC asks that unentered dogs not be brought to the shows, but service dogs are always welcome. “This is a great opportunity to see breeds with which you are not familiar and to talk to breeders and owners about breeds that might be of interest to you,” Corbett said.

ROHM presents film ‘God’s Country and the Woman’ You’ll have a chance to catch a film soon that reflects what logging was like in the 1800s in and around Rainier. On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Rainier Oregon Historical Museum will host a showing of “God’s Country and the Woman.” Organizers said the film allows watchers to “learn about the Simon Benson cigar rafts, what logging was like in the late 1800’s in and around Rainier, and how it progressed to what it is today.”

The movie will reportedly show scenes from the Clark and Wilson mill in Prescott, and the first scene of the move shows a giant tree being felled while Spirit Lake and Mt. St. Helens looms in the background. Admission is free, and the film will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the museum, located on the second floor of the Rainier City Hall at 106 West B Street. There will be presentations about cigar rafts and the early

history of local mills and logging operations in Rainier and surrounding areas held upstairs at 11:30 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 12:15 p.m. ,12:30 p.m., and 3:15 p.m. “There will be a lot of history being shared,” Museum President Kay Heflin said. “Our museum has tripled in size since we opened two years ago. I have some interesting pictures of the Simon Benson log rafts that will be a part of my presentation.”

Scappoose Public Library to feature folksinger Adam Miller Legendary folksinger, storyteller, and autoharp virtuoso Adam Miller presents a free outdoor sing-along program of Folksongs of the American Labor Movement, at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 2, 2019, at the Scappoose Public Library located at 52469 S.E. 2nd Street. The program features folksongs about the people who built America and their struggle to improve the conditions of their labor. “The American Labor Movement was a singing movement,” Miller said. “Our children don’t have little brothers and sisters working in the mills and the mines. Our grandparents and great-grandparents – working people like you and me – organized and joined unions. The unions broke the backs of the sweatshops in this country. That’s why we have child labor laws. That’s why we have a middle class. That’s why we have the eight-hour day. Those were not benevolent gifts from enlightened management. Working people fought, bled, and died for those laws.” An artist whose kind has dwindled to an endangered species, Miller is a renowned old-school American troubadour and a natural-born storyteller. He is the recipient of the prestigious 2019 Storytelling World Award,

and as one of the premier autoharpists in the world, he is an accomplished folklorist, song-collector, and raconteur, who has amassed a remarkable repertoire of more than 5,000 songs. Traveling 70,000 miles a year, Miller performs over 200 concerts annually in 48 states, from the Everglades to the Arctic Circle. More than 1.5 million students have attended his Singing Through History! school assembly programs. He’s performed live in over 2,000 American public libraries. Today, with a repertoire of thousands of tunes, his traditional folk songs and ballads are the songs of America’s heritage: a window into

the soul of our nation in its youth. A performer who enlightens as well as entertains, he points out fascinating connections between events in history and the songs that survived them. And like old-time radio commentator Paul Harvey, Miller gives you “the rest of the story” — providing the often-surprising provenance of seemingly simple folk songs. “Folksongs travel through history,” Miller said. “History travels through folksongs.” Adam Miller’s website: Folksinging.org For more information, call 503-543-7123.
