Former county employee arrested County seeks restitution for any stolen funds
A 30-year employee of Columbia County was accused on 29 counts related to allegedly taking more than a half-million dollars during a time span of nearly two decades. Linda Hald was arraigned on Nov. 14 by the Oregon Department of Justice on charges stemming from financial irregularities found in the county’s Community Justice Department-Adult Division. Shortly after Hald’s retirement in June of 2015, county managers discovered that cash appeared to be missing from an account associated with the supervision of offenders on
parole or probation. Hald served as office manager in the department. A forensic accountant was then retained to determine the scale of the loss. The forensic audit of the department found the county’s loss during a period of 17 years totaled $585,574. In addition to supervision fees, some DUII Diversion funds were shown as taken. Based on the investigation, however, payments made by the offenders appeared to have been properly credited to their accounts and all services were rendered appropriately. While located in the Justice Facility, the Department of Community Justice is not overseen by the Columbia County Sheriff and is not connected to the Sheriff’s budget or connected to operation of the county jail. Columbia County filed insurance claims on its policies and has successfully recovered $543,139 of the loss from insurance proceeds. The

county intends to seek justice to the fullest extent of the law, including restitution of any stolen funds. County managers reported possible criminal activity to law enforcement. Oregon State Police responded with an investigation. On Oct. 20, a grand jury indictment was issued against Hald on nine counts of aggravated theft in the first degree, five counts of theft in the first degree, 11 counts of tampering with public records, three counts of official misconduct in the first degree, and one count of attempted theft in the second degree. Hald pleaded not guilty to the charges and was booked and released at the Columbia County jail. “Columbia County’s financial management is strong,” Board of County Commissioner Chair Tony Hyde said. “This instance occurred in just one department. The county has been victimized, and I regret this unfortunate incident,
but am satisfied that the county has responded appropriately.” Since the investigation began, the Community Justice Department has implemented improved cash handling procedures and safeguards to ensure that fees are fully accounted for and applied to parole and probation supervision. The county’s Risk Management Committee is assisting with implementation. “Columbia County took swift action upon sensing the financial discrepancies by reporting immediately to law enforcement and by recovering funds from its insurers,” Hyde said. “Furthermore, the county will pursue all other available means to collect remaining funds to make itself and its insurers whole.” “Ms. Hald is innocent until proven guilty,” Hyde added. “And I am relieved that the judicial process is underway.”

VFW Post 1440 members recover the 105 mm Howitzer from St. Helens Police Department impound for the Veterans Day ceremony.
Big Gun makes 60th Veterans Day appearance BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
A symbol of local military heritage, the Big Gun was briefly returned to McCormick Park as part of this year’s Veterans Day ceremony. The authentic WWII artillery piece that served as a war memorial in St. Helens for the past 59 years was stolen from the park this past February. Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1440 member Gene Hester said the theft of the cannon was upsetting for the chapter. The 105 mm Howitzer was donated to Post 1440 as a ‘trophy display’ by the United States Army in 1957. “The Howitzer guards the many local fallen soldiers that have fought and died, paying the ultimate price in defense of our great nation,” Hester said during the Veterans Day ceremony at McCormick Park. “The Big Gun has overseen 60 years of St.
Helens annual Veterans Day Memorial events.” According to Hester, the Howitzer was obtained in 1957 by VFW Post 1440 members and WWII veterans Arbie Lawrence, Max Lawrence, Bob Tolleshaug, Von Smith, George McGlinn and others. The post members paid $60 to have the weapon disarmed at Two Rock Ranch Station Ordinance Depot, and $90 to L.C. Hall trucking of St. Helens to
“The Howitzer guards the many local fallen soldiers that have fought and died, paying the ultimate price in defense of our great nation,” VFW member Gene Hester said.
countless visiting politicians have witnessed the everlasting presence of our 105mm Howitzer proudly on display and on guard in St. Helens, Oregon, for the last 60 years.” Hester credited St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss for the cannon’s return. He said thanks to quick thinking and strategy, Moss rescued the cannon from being locked away in an Eastern Oregon Museum. “In most cases such as this, when the federal government gets involved, the gun would have been confiscated for evidence and never seen again,” Hester said. The cannon temporarily resides in the impound yard at St. Helens Police Department and will be used as evidence in the event of a trial. According to Hester, Columbia County District Attorney Steve Atchison allowed the cannon to leave the impound yard for its 60th Veterans Day celebration under the stipulation that it be under a police escort. “Chief Terry Moss is here today, on a holiday, on his personal day off, volunteering his valuable personal time so this cannon can preside over this Veterans Day for its 60th time,” Hester said. St. Helens Police arrested Charles Hegele, 67, of Terrabonne, Ore. for grand theft in connection with the cannon’s disappearance. Hegele is a well-known collector of military ordinance. The Bend Bulletin re-
transport the cannon from Petaluma, Calif. Hester said the gun was on loan from the U.S. government. Post member Von Smith arranged the first program that dedicated the Howitzer and the Veterans War Memorial Park near Columbia Boulevard and Highway 30 on May 30, 1957. Hester said when Highway 30 was widened the cannon moved to McCormick Park, rededicated to that Veterans Memorial on May 8, 1995. “Since then, this Howitzer has proudly stood guard over the presence of the fallen soldiers named on the surrounding monument,” Hester said. “Thousands and thousands of Columbia County residents and

The holiday season is upon us and there is much to do in preparation of the festivities. St. Helens Economic Development Corporation (SHEDCO) invites the public to join the Lighted Christmas Ball Work Party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 201 S. 1st Street in downtown St. Helens. Come to help make the lighted balls, learn how to make one for your home or just to say hi to the great volunteers. All the Christmas balls will be used to decorate the trees in the Historic Courthouse Plaza. SHEDCO hopes the decorations will make this year’s Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony even more brilliant than this past year. This is part of SHEDCO’s Let It Glow project. SHEDCO was pre-
sented with an Oregon Main Street award for Excellence in Downtown Revitalization for the Let It Glow project earlier this year. “SHEDCO has long tried to make folks realize that cheap and simple beautification projects can have positive impact and bring St. Helens residents and visitors into our beautiful downtown,” SHEDCO Chair Al Petersen said. “We hope that more people can get involved in SHEDCO and keep the ball rolling.” “These efforts dramatically improved the annual tree lighting ceremony and visiting Christmas Ships throughout the holiday season with very positive feedback,” City Manager John Walsh said. SHEDCO started the project in 2014 by encouraging retail businesses along
the St. Helens main street corridor from Highway 30 to downtown to decorate and light up their storefronts and buildings. In 2015, SHEDCO made 33 large Christmas balls to hang in the courthouse plaza. This year SHEDCO plans on making 60 more Christmas balls. Everyone is invited retail businesses, restaurants, government offices and residents - to take part in making St. Helens a joyful place to visit this holiday season.

It starts at the Chamber of Commerce and will run all along the Main Street corridor, being held in restaurants, shops, etc. “We are working with the schools to open up an elementary school to offer daycare for the event – but that isn’t solidified as we are waiting to firm up insurance and partnership with a daycare on that,” Normine said. “I think it will be a good way to get some people into doors they haven’t been in before,” she said. “It will also be a great start to a blueprint to do this again in the spring with some extra additions.” Here are some of the opportunities for local businesses: Facebook/Instagram Photo Contest: To participate, businesses are given a heart with the hashtag #shopsmall on it. Display the heart in your place of business in a location where people can take selfies with it. SHEDCO requests that participating businesses donate a small prize or gift certificate. Those prizes will be given out
Marketing Material Distribution: SHEDCO will hand out goody bags to people on Small Business Saturday and will include information about your business.

St. Helens High School is pleased to announce that Jacob Hawkins has been selected as the Elks Teen of the month for October. Hawkins was chosen for his hard work, his willingness to learn and his involvement in the school. Hawkins was really surprised and definitely was not expecting to be chosen. As a matter of fact, his first question after learning he had won the award was to ask, “Now what do I have to do?” Pretty funny. Hawkins is a very likeable young man who spends a lot of his time involved in

sports. He plays soccer, football and baseball. He has won awards for being a scholar athlete throughout his high school career
and was named honorable mention for goal keeper this year, even though this was his first year to play the position. He plans on attending OSU and majoring in environmental engineering. Asked what his best quality was and Hawkins said, “ My rocking body”. Then he said, “Just kidding”. He seems to have a great sense of humor and he even would say that he uses his comical side to get people to laugh. Hawkins likes to sleep, kick footballs, watch Neflix and hang out with friends.
Locally made product sampling: That’s right – SHEDCO is bringing some local eats and treats right to Main Street. This, of course, will include offerings from some our local distilleries and breweries. If you want to donate items to get your local products out there, let SHEDCO know. And it’s not just food and beverages, folks. Small Business Shopping Card: This is a one-day only event where your business can be listed SHEDCO’s Main Street Places to Shop. People who visit your store on Small Business Saturday get a sticker – two stickers if they spend more that $10. SHEDCO provides the stickers and prints/ distributes several hundred scorecards. For your contribution, SHEDCO asks for a small gift certificate or product donation to use as a prize. Aside from the above, SHEDCO is also working on partnering with schools and local youth-targeted businesses. With that addition, it is SHEDCO’s hope to increase traffic and improve the dollar-to-visitor ration. SHEDCO welcomes input and suggestions for local business owners.

ported in 2011 that the federal government considered him a “person of responsibility” and that he held a license from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to manufacture high explosives. He owns an extensive collection of military equipment and was featured in a 2011 Discovery Channel program. What Hegele lacked, according to a source close to the investigation, was a cannon like the one residing in St. Helens. At least two St. Helens residents claim Hegele approached them attempting to buy the cannon. “I can’t even imagine the kind of individual that it takes to pillage and steal from a war memorial,” Hester said. Hester said Hegele came under suspicion almost immediately. As investigators built a case against Hegele, St. Helens City Manager John Walsh worked to get the cannon returned to St. Helens. Walsh arranged a meeting with Hegele at St. Helens City Hall, reportedly to go over ownership documents and legal papers.
At the meeting, Hegele was confronted by Walsh, Moss, members of VFW Post 1440 and investigators from www.thechiefnews.com the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Moss said during the conversation he determined a crime might have been committed and he arrested Hegele. Hester said the cannon does not meet current standards for decommissioning.

voters, whose numbers nearly doubled in the 15-year period, to 10,071. There are now more non-affiliated voters than registered Republicans. Those non-affiliated voters broke the Republican’s way in this election. It’s too early to tell if Trump’s victory in Columbia County represents a permanent shift in county politics or if it is nothing more than a red spot in an otherwise blue field. But Democrats should hear alarm bells sounding.
the history of unfulfilled promises so far in the Port Westward area, not at the new promises being made. To create economic growth for the whole county, the Commissioners should use their clout to get the OMIC off to a successful start. Oregon is currently strengthening its commitment to preservation of agricultural lands. This includes creation of the Oregon Agricultural Heritage Commission which is directed to keep land permanently in agriculture and maintain or improve fish and wildlife habitat and other natural resource values. Conserving farmland would be a better use for the 837 acres at Port Westward. Paulette Lichatowich’s comments represent her personal beliefs. She serves as a Port of St. Helens Commissioner and a Columbia County Planning Commissioner.

Resources a boon to researchers
BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@countrymedia.net
If you’ve ever gone searching for information about dead relatives, you know how tedious and time consuming it can be. Fortunately, some new tools are available to aid researchers looking for obituaries, wedding announcements or newspaper articles concerning long lost relatives. The St. Helens Public Library maintains an extensive collection of old newspapers on microfilm and recently installed a new microfilm reader to make searching and copying information a breeze. The library has 100 rolls of microfilm containing newspapers and 57 rolls of old census data, all searchable with the new machine. “We always encourage people to use the machine themselves,” Library Director Margaret Jeffries said.
The new device is a substantial improvement over the old reader according to Jeffries. It allows users to not only quickly scan back issues, but can enlarge and straighten pages and images. The new reader incorporates optical character recognition, or OCR technology that allows the newspaper image to be exported as text useable in a document. Jeffries said. The reader also employs ABBYY software that allows images, old photos, to be exported to a file. Users can save files by bringing a USB drive with them, Jeffries said. Reference Librarian Brenda Herren-Kenaga secured grants to buy the machine at a total cost of $5,400. A history buff, with a master’s degree in history, Herren-Kenaga pushed the project through. The library has newspapers from 1882 to 2014,
including The Chronicle, on microfilm, but historic newspapers published before 1921 are also available online as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program. Sponsored by the Library of Congress and the University of Oregon, the program contains newspapers published throughout Oregon, including Columbia County. Columbia County newspapers available online are the The Columbian, published 1882 to 1886, The Columbia Register from 1904 to 1906, The Oregon Mist from 1910 to 1913 and the St. Helens Mist from 1913 to 1921.

Pohl concedes, Brajcich ready to serve as new mayor BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Clatskanie Mayor Diane Pohl has conceded her bid for re-election to an 11th consecutive term after write-in candidate Bob Brajcich appears to have received the majority of votes, according to the final unofficial balloting results from the Tuesday Nov. 8 General Election. But Columbia County Election officials are quick to point out that they have yet to check all the write-in ballots in the race to make sure Brajcich is the actual winner. That review was
scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 16. A review of the votes is automatic if the write-in candidate gets the majority of the votes, according to Columbia County Elections Supervisor Don Clack. “I wish Bob and the city all my best,” Pohl said early Wednesday, Nov. 9, following the election. Pohl couldn’t say what she thought led to her defeat. “I don’t know at this point,” she said. “Whatever it is, I believe it is the American way. People choose their leaders. That is how we are and that is a good thing.”
Asked if she would have done anything differently as mayor or in her campaign, Pohl said, Bob Brajcich “No. I tried to lead in a very positive way, and no, I would not change anything.” Pohl said she isn’t sure what her future holds. “There are all kinds of horizons out there,” she said. “I am looking forward to what they are. I don’t know if I will stay involved in city politics. It is best
sometimes to let the new leader take over and that is the best thing for Diane Pohl the community.” Pohl said she will have good memories of her 10 consecutive years as Clatskanie’s Mayor. “It was an honor to have served the city as long as I did,” she said. “I appreciated the opportunity.” Pohl received 214 votes. There were 481 write-in ballots cast in the Clats-
kanie mayor race. Brajcich told The Chronicle shortly after the second of three election result printouts by the county on Tuesday night that he was not ready to declare victory and he wanted to see the final unofficial results. “I am in pretty good shape, so it looks real promising,” he said. On Wednesday, following Pohl’s announcement that she had conceded the race, Brajcich said he was ready to go to work as Clatskanie mayor and had begun what he called his learning process. Brajcich said he believes there are two reasons that
he was elected as mayor. “A lot of it has to do with that I am local and a lot of these people have known me for a long time,” he said. Brajcich said the second reason is the controversy over the Clatskanie Police Department. “The controversy hurt Diane,” he said. “Right or wrong, any time you make such a change, transitioning the city police department to be operated by the County Sheriff’s Office, that makes a difference .. and the fact that we had a police chief that resigned ... all that controversy ... people wanted a change.”

Help for homeless veterans at Medicine Wheel BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
Medicine Wheel Recovery Services is making an effort to prevent and end veteran homelessness in Columbia County with its Planting Roots Housing Program. A recent $300,000, 9-month renewal cycle grant from Oregon Health Authority enables the program to serve up to 30 veterans and their families who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness. Planting Roots was created to help veterans find stable housing, peer support and mental health treatment. The program is run by Medicine Wheel Recovery Services, an outpatient rehabilitation center that recently opened in St. Helens. To be eligible for the program, a veteran must have an Honorable Discharge, a mental health assessment, and meet the low-income qualification. The program provides rental or mortgage assistance, utility costs, housing placement, peer support, skills training, outreach and referrals, behavioral health and other services. Veterans Housing Specialist Eli Addison said the biggest challenge the program faces is housing availability. Vacancies are limited in Columbia County. With an already tight market, it can be difficult for a struggling
veteran to obtain housing, and that’s where the program comes in. Addison said Medicine Wheel acts as an intermediary with landlords, vouching for the stability of clients financially and personally. “We don’t have our own housing facility, so we will be very dependent on the community, the landlords and rental agencies,” Addison said. “When you’re homeless, there is a stigma… and we’re trying to reintegrate veterans into the community.” He said in the future, Medicine Wheel hopes to obtain dedicated housing units to facilitate the program, but for now, they will work on a case-by-case basis as they build relationships in the real estate community and begin to cut through red tape and waiting lists. Addison said one advantage Medicine Wheel has is the separation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). If a veteran has struggled with the VA or desires something local to the community, they can make a fresh start at Medicine Wheel. Addison said Medicine Wheel offers a local alternative to traveling to Portland or farther, often by mass transit, to a place full of
possible triggers for a host of issues. “We are in the community,” Addison said. He said the program will help veterans build themselves back up, acting as a support system to help hurdle the barriers between homelessness and stable living. Medicine Wheel will work with community support agencies such as Community Action Team, NOAH Housing, and Columbia Community Mental Health as well as Veterans Service Officer Russ Clark to help veterans find stable housing. Addison said they will even work with local enforcement and the jail to make sure no veterans slip through the cracks. “I think this will
have to be a collaborative effort – we can’t just do it by ourselves,” Addison said. An adult outpatient addictions treatment center that opened in March of this year, Medicine Wheel aims to heal the whole person by restoring each client’s physical, mental and emotional health, spirituality, social and cultural connection, community involvement, and environmental responsibility. The individualized care combines counseling, education, activities and support to the recovering individual and family Medicine Wheel Recovery Services is located in Suite C at 58147 Columbia River Highway in St. Helens.

History of Merchants’ Toy N Joy Auction
The local Toy N Joy program began many years ago with the old St. Helens Fire Department, although no one is sure when it really began. According to long-time resident and retired firefighter Percy “Doc” Smith, he received a glass gyroscope toy for Christmas from Toy N Joy back in 1940 when he was 11 years old. Smith said he thought CODY MANN/The Chronicle the program had been in Clatskanie Smoke Shop is located at E. 955 Columbia River Highway in Clatskanie. existence well prior to that time. Many think the program may have started as a spin-off of the Portland Fire Bureau’s Toy N Joy program that began in 1914. Smith became a firefighter in 1951. He said the tradition of collecting old toys continued through BY CODY MANN the 34 years he worked at cmann@countrymedia.net the fire department.

popularity of these dolls and the ensuing demand for them, the order was continually delayed. Dan May started building a list of customers who had priority on purchasing these dolls when they did come in. As Christmas approached, the Mays worried about whether they would actually get any of the dolls to sell. Finally, just a few weeks before Christmas they received their shipment. However, they were startled to discover they had gotten only three of the highly sought-after dolls. Faced with this dilemma and a list of more than 40 customers who all wanted dolls, Dan May consulted with his son Randy and his friend John Brewington and came up with an innovative idea. They decided to auction-off the three dolls and contribute the funds to the St. Helens Fire District’s Toy N Joy program. Dan May made arrangements with local auctioneer Curt Commack to conduct the auction on the sidewalk right outside of the store. He also enlisted the aid of several other area merchants who made additional contributions to the effort. So, with the help of the local press and a very good word-of-mouth advertising campaign, the Mays held a very successful auction at their store and raised $610 for the fire district’s Toy N Joy program. Alice and Tex Holbert purchased one of the Cabbage Patch dolls for $210. They promptly donated the doll back to the Mays, thereby setting the stage for continued auctions. Following the successful first auction and recognizing the need in the community to continue this type of fund-raising event, Dan May decided there should be a broader-based community group to facilitate and expand the auction.

In early 1984, Dan May worked with the fire district and other local merchants to form the presentday Merchants Toy N Joy Benefit Committee. Today the Committee is comprised of approximately 20 volunteers who continue the tradition started by the Mays back in 1983. Committee members annually contact local businesses and individuals for contributions for the benefit auction usually held the first Saturday in December. Representative items contributed over the years include various merchandise items, Blazer basketball tickets, loads of firewood and gravel, timeshare vacation condominiums, gourmet dinners, tools, antiques and many other interesting and desirable items. The auction, now in its 33rd year, continues to grow, with the amount of money raised for toys going from the original amount of $610 to more than $20,000 on average. The money raised by the auction is contributed to the Columbia River Fire & Rescue’s district-wide Toy N Joy Program and used to purchase toys, and food items for well over 1,000 children and 500 families in the St. Helens, Scappoose, and Rainier areas during the Christmas holiday season. Toy N Joy works closely with the Holiday Hope Program and the St. Helens Kiwanis Club in distributing both toys and food baskets to families just prior to Christmas each year. In summary, the success of the last 33 years of Toy N Joy auctions would not have been possible without the dedicated support of hundreds of caring people in this community who have given generously of both their time and resources to help others who are not as well-off, so that they can have a much happier holiday season.

Columbia County 2016 election highlights BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net
Board of County Commissioners, Position 1 Margaret Magruder defeated Wayne Mayo with 51.96 percent of the vote. Magruder said she was pleased to be supported by the citizens of the county. While she won’t be officially sworn to the position until January, she planned to attend the Association of Oregon Counties annual conference and begin training for the job. “I’m enthusiastically looking forward to this new challenge in life,” she said. She comes to the job with some family insight. Her brother, Dick Magruder, was a four-term state representative before his death from a tractor accident in 1978. Caroline Magruder, mother of Dick and Margaret, was appointed to complete his term in the Oregon House of Representatives. “My grandmother, Grace Kent Magruder, was a state representative in the mid1930s,” Magruder said. “Public service and participation in civic affairs has always been important to my family.” She said the most important thing for her during the transition was to get to know the other commissioners so they can work together. With two new commissioners on the three-seat board, Magruder said understanding each others strengths would be key to success going forward. She added that she would draw on the experience of outgoing commissioners Earl Fisher and Tony Hyde as well as Henry Heimuller, who remains on the board. “I think it’s important to get a good foundation on what the current commissioners have been thinking and doing, and how we can move forward with the good things that have been happening, and how I can bring some new things into the mix,” Magruder said. Magruder said she would work to represent citizens across the county, which is sometimes seen in a northsouth divide. “I think commissioners need to bring all the interests together around the county and try to make decisions that are in the best interests of all,” she said. Mayor of St. Helens Political newcomer Rick Scholl narrowly won against incumbent Randy Peterson, who has served the City
of St. Helens for 28 years, including 14 years as mayor. Scholl thanks the community for the support and said he would serve to the best of his ability. Scholl, with 50.94 percent of the vote, earned just 147 votes more than Peterson. “I know it will be a learning process but I am going to actively work towards getting up to speed as fast as possible,” Scholl said. “I ran a campaign based on the transparency in our local government and I intend for our citizens to know what the city is proposing and the potential gains and faults with any decision before the city council.” Scholl, who owns and operates a landscaping business in St. Helens, said he decided to run for mayor because of what he sees as a mishandling of the purchase of the Boise property. Instead of creating job growth through city-purchased property, Scholl said he plans to work with St. Helens businesses. Scholl said he has begun to work with City Manager John Walsh and has spoken with members of the city council, and he is optimistic about the future of St. Helens. He added that he would work diligently to improve the local business community and livability within the city. “I want to thank Mayor Randy Peterson for his twenty eight years of service to this community – fourteen as a council member and fourteen years as mayor,” Scholl said. “During that time he also served as a professional firefighter with Columbia Fire and Rescue. His entire professional career has been dedicated to service to his community. I am looking forward to working with Mayor Peterson during this period of transition and know he will do his best to prepare me for the hard work to come.” Jail operations levy The Columbia County Jail operations levy renewal of 57 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value passed with 56 percent approval from voters. “I am very pleased and gratified by the vote to keep the jail open and operating at this level of effectiveness for the citizens and the inmates we serve,” Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said. “This was a vote in favor of public safety in our county,” Dickerson said. “I also see it as the public’s support of the measures we are taking in all phases of what we do to get the most out of the resources we do have to solve

crime and hold accountable those who break the peace in our county.” In 2014, Columbia County Jail operations became unsustainable before a three-year, 57 cent per $1,000 levy was approved by voters. Since passing the levy, Dickerson said the rate of failures to appear for court fell dramatically. Early release for prisoners was eliminated as the jail reached a goal of 100 beds available for local inmates. Dickerson said property crimes were significantly reduced, better options are available for addressing criminal behavior motivated by mental health issues, and recidivism-reducing programs such as parenting classes, GED educational opportunities, chemical dependency education and emotional support training were instituted. “Back when the jail was on its last legs, a lot of people might have wondered just what we would lose if we had to ship a small number of the worst prisoners elsewhere,” Dickerson said. “Now, with the huge benefit of having a healthy jail in operation, and members of the citizens advisory committee reviewing expenditures, we have been able to demonstrate the value of this jail for our community.” Election documents estimated $2.6 million would be collected in 2018, $2.7 million in 2019 and 2020, and $2.8 million in 2021. A property owner with an assessed value of $100,000 would pay an estimated $57.97 per year. County Depletion Fee The Columbia County Depletion Fee for roads, bridges and CC Rider, increasing the natural resources depletion fee from 15 cents to 50 cents per ton, was defeated with a 55 percent disapproval rate. Supporters of funding roads and Columbia County Rider with a fee on gravel mining brought the measure to the ballot. Measure 5-255 asked for an increase in the county natural resource depletion fee from 15 cents per ton to 50 cent per ton. Of the 50 cents, 25 cents would have gone to funding CC Rider and 25 cents was designated to county roads. The measure also contained a provision allowing public officials to be sued for failing to enforce provisions of the

measure. Transit coordinator Michael Ray, who is currently overseeing operations at Columbia County Rider, said the second ballot loss this year signals that there is more work to be done with educating the public on the need for mass transportation in the county. County Commissioner Earl Fisher said while voters rejected an initiative to fund Columbia County Rider, the issue did demonstrate support exists in the county for a transit service. Ray said a special district was still the best way to secure stable funding for Columbia County Rider. “Some stable type of funding for us, whether it’s a property tax or a payroll tax, something of that nature would provide stable funding.” Ray said. “But getting those passed has proven to be quite difficult, and not just in our case… levies often go through this process many times before they are finally accepted.” “We’re not giving up,” Ray said. Local election highlights A total of 26,451 Columbia County ballots were counted with a voter turnout of 77 percent. Ballot measure 5-255: Columbia County Depletion Fee for roads, bridges and CC Rider, increasing the natural resources depletion fee from 15 cents to 50 cents per ton failed at 55 percent No. Ballot measure 5-256:
City of Columbia City police services levy of 67 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value passed at 61 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-257: Columbia County Jail operations levy renewal of 57 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value passed at 56 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-258: Columbia County 3-percent retail marijuana tax passed at 69 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-260: City of St. Helens 3-percent retail marijuana tax passed at 64 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-261: City of Scappoose 3-percent retail marijuana tax passed at 73 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-262: City of Scappoose prohibition on marijuana retailers, producers, processors, wholesalers and medical marijuana processors failed at 62 percent No. Ballot measure 5-263: St. Helens School District $49.6 million bond, continuing current tax rate of $1.38 per $1,000 of assessed property value passed at 56 percent Yes. Ballot measure 5-264: City of Rainier 3-percent retail marijuana tax passed at 69 percent Yes. Columbia County Commissioner, Position 1: Wayne Mayo at 47 percent and Margaret Magruder at 51 percent. Mayor of St. Helens: Randy Peterson with 48 percent lost to Rick Scholl with 50 percent. St. Helens City Council:
Keith Locke with 53 percent won against Steve Topaz with 46 percent. St. Helens City Council: Ginny Carlson won with 58 percent against Garrett Lines with 40 percent. Mayor of Clatskanie: Diane Pohl with 30 percent lost to write-in candidate Bob Brajcich with 69 percent (this number may change as writein ballots certified). Columbia River PUD, Subdivision 1: Debbie Reed with 37 percent lost to Nancy Ward with 61 percent. Columbia River PUD, Subdivision 3: Dick Simpson with 48 percent lost to Rob Mathers with 49 percent. Locally, Republican Donald Trump took nearly 50 percent of the vote and Democrat Hillary Clinton had 38 percent. Libertarian Gary Johnson picked up 6 percent and Pacific Green Party candidate Jill Stein had around 2 percent. Write-in candidates took 3 percent. Democrat Gov. Kate Brown had 42 percent to Republican Bud Pierce’s 49 percent. Columbia County Elections Supervisor Don Clack said as the ballots are counted on Election Day Nov. 8, results that would include the write-in votes, if they impact the election, likely won’t be immediately known. “We would have to do our certification process, which would take about 20 days,” he said. “If the count is very close I would convene a board to review the write-in results.”

Local teen launches boating safety quest BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

s
Officer Candidate Brandee Dudzic and 2nd Lieutenant Wai-Ching Fung, both with Oregon Army National Guard, ran the American Flag along Highway 30 in St. Helens in recognition of Veterans Day.
St. Helens students predicted President Trump, other results Keith Meeuwsen teaches government and history at St. Helens High School, where students have been discussing the election at great length in recent weeks. Meeuwsen said the students found pros and cons in many candidates and issues that were discussed. “For president, kids felt they could not trust Hillary and were disgusted by some of what Trump had done,” Meeuwsen said. Students accurately predicted a Trump presidency when it came time to vote in a mock election. “Last May, the students here overwhelmingly supported Bernie Sanders and then Hillary Clinton after Bernie lost,” Meeuwsen said. “This year, or four months later, the current group of seniors in my classes, and I have about 125 seniors, the tide has turned.” Trump’s win in the mock election was reflected in the national results. Students also matched votes in victories for Gov. Kate Brown and the St. Helens School District bond, as well as the defeat
of Measure 97. On the county depletion fee, Meeuwsen said the students saw both sides. Some did not like the idea that people would lose jobs, while others considered the need to make the county improve through mass transit and investing in roads. For students, one issue was a homerun hit. “The school bond was a clear favorite,” Meeuwsen said. “Many had attended the middle school and felt it had big issues that needed to be dealt with.” Measure 97 brought out the most discussion. “It was a pretty even split between those that want to invest in Oregon and the kids in Oregon while the other side felt the tax could hurt businesses and the economy,” Meeuwsen said. “I think they are pretty divided because of all of the different claims being thrown at them. I also think they are in school and many want to see the schools improve.” The mock election saw 500 of 800 students participate. It was mostly 9th, 11th and 12th graders. The
voting took place in class and was conducted by a representative of the state (a teacher). St. Helens High School mock election 2016 results President Trump – 218 Clinton -178 Stein – 52 Johnson – 71 Governor Pierce – 168 Brown – 242 Foster – 40 Thomason – 37 Auer – 22 County Commissioner Mayo – 322 Macgruder – 181 Jail levy Yes – 400 No – 118 Depletion Fee Yes – 293 No – 226 Bond for Middle School Yes – 449 No – 77 Measure 97 Yes- 247 No – 267
His mission is a vision of saving lives and 17-year-old Daniel Kloppman has taken on the task of building a unmanned life vest station at the new boat launch in Rainier City Park. “The city has a list of projects, sort of a wish list, that they want to complete at Rainier City Park and one of the projects was the life vest station,” Daniel said. “I knew of a few places that would donate the life jackets and the supplies for the station, so I decided to do that as my Eagle Scout project.” But the stronger reason for Daniel’s quest was more than just a building project. “It is to help save lives, that is the main part of it,” he said. “It also promotes boating safety and will provide life vests to those that might have forgotten to bring them to the river.” Daniel said the 8-foottall station would include pegs along the bottom to hold the life jackets and special signage to explain the purpose of the station and how people can use the vests. “The International Order of the Blue Gavel Nautical Safety Foundation has donated 54 life jackets and $600 for the supplies,” Daniel said. “I plan to talk with the other scouts in Troop 332 to see if they can help build the station.” To receive city permission for the project, Daniel made a presentation to the Rainier City Council on Nov. 7, and received the city’s blessings. “I was pretty nervous making my presentation, but they told me I did a good job, so it went well,” Daniel said. “I have been impressed with every Eagle Scout that has done a project for the city,” Rainier Mayor Jerry Cole said. “We are so lucky to have this group participate and make Rainer better. Daniel is just another example of the great programs that this group is providing.” Cole said the Scout proj-
ects for the city park have included flagpoles and park benches. “Doing these projects is one thing,” Cole said. “But there is much more for them to learn through these projects. You can’t take that away from them.” Daniel’s dad, Dan Kloppman, said his son has been involved with scouting programs since he was in the first grade. “It has been a very positive experience as far as character building for him,” Dan said. “And being with his peers and doing lots of activities, like camping and gun shooting, has been fun for him.” Building the station will also give Daniel lifelearning lessons, according
to his dad. “He will lead the project and help guide the other scouts, so he is incorporating his peers in building this project,” Dan said. “It helps in designating work, and organizing work parties.” Dan said Daniel’s life jacket station project is a win-win effort. “The project has a chance to fulfill the city’s dreams and it is also an excellent opportunity for the Scouts to give back to the community.” Daniel is now soliciting donations to help cover the estimated $2,000 cost of the life jacket station project. He hopes to start work on the station in February.

FOOTBALL
Hard work paid off
After the Lions season came to an end at Wilsonville, their coach recognizes the sweat these athletes sacrificed BY CLAUDE AKINS
cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins
Through the speakers the announcer declared it was one of the greatest games he had ever called. Wilsonville fans and students stormed the field. And near the 30yard line a dejected Lions football team gathered for their final postgame huddle. The message, from coaches and players, was similar: they couldn’t be prouder, couldn’t be happier to have been a part of St. Helens football this season. Each of their last three games still hung in the balance in the final minutes – they beat Sandy 9-7 and Hermiston 12-7 – and against Wilsonville the pattern continued, as the lead changed twice in the final three minutes. With 2:47 remaining Levi Norton found Myles Terry alone in the end zone from four yards out after a well-executed play action. A sack against the Wildcats star quarterback Connor Neville forced a fourthand-21 inside their 10-yard line as they trailed 35-31 on their final possession. A stop and their season ends, leaving only one game between the Lions and the title game. But Neville completed a pass on a corner route to Harrison Steiger – reminiscent of the two great fourth down passes Lions quarterback Norton completed last week against Hermiston. The Wildcats marched down the field, and it was Steiger again who came through with the heroics, catching a pass in the middle of the end zone from six
yards out. The Lions began the game playing their strongest football of the season, however. Senior Tyler Rea ran for three touchdowns and Jax Ogle ran one in from 20 yards out while the Lions defense held a top-level offense to two field goals. They entered the second half leading, 28-6. Coach Cory Young said that the difference between the two halves was a lack of big plays on offense and a lack of execution on defense. “Big plays,” Young said. “They stepped it up on defense. We didn’t make some of the plays on offense we made in the first half with some of our long completions to keep the ball out of their hands.” “We had a few defensive breakdowns here and there, which ultimately led to some scores for them,” Young said. “Offensively, they are a pretty good football team so it was impressive of us to keep them down six points at the half and we were pretty sure that that would be a tough one to keep.” Historically this is one of the best teams St. Helens has ever produced, if not the best. This is the first time the Lions have advanced to the second round since the Oregon Sports and Activities Association instituted 5A and 6A classifications – St. Helens is a 5A school. The Lions last won the state title in 1996 as a 3A team. Young and his colleagues, however, were not shocked by this year’s success. “We knew that as coaches a while back, but it’s about the amount of work these

“We knew that as coaches a while back, but it’s about the amount of work these kids put in over the offseason,” head coach Cory Young said. “You could be good but if you’re not going to put in the time and effort in the offseason then it’s not going to work out for you.” then it’s not going to work out for you. We knew they put a lot of time in. Some of them put in a good solid four years of work.” “This season was amazing and the things I will take away from it are just all of
league game and two playoff games were amazing to be apart of and I’m proud to say I played for this team.” Programs are built slowly – through funding and community involvement of course, but also from what
pundits call a “winning culture.” If players and coaches expect to be successful, more times than not they succeed. “There’s a lot of excitement,” Young said. “You look even at our frosh-soph team, they have had a lot of success in terms of wins and losses and the kids really enjoy playing football. So program-wide, there is a lot of excitement about St. Helens football and we’re looking to build on that.” Only the 2017 season will tell if next year’s group will be as successful as this year’s iteration, but one can reasonably expect that the foundation has been laid for another competitive season.
CLAUDE AKINS/The Chronicle
The seniors were an extremely tight-knit and hardworking group of players who, from all indications, led by example – senior slot back Haidon Allen, for instance, didn’t miss a workout in four years, coach Young said. “[Next season is] going to depend on how hard they work,” Young said. “It will really depend on how many of them are competing in the offseason, how many are out for wrestling, how many of them are out for track, how many are swimming, playing basketball - how many of them want to compete, and how much work and time they want to put in this summer.”

Harrison Steiger makes a huge catch on a fourth-and-21 in the fourth. Without this catch, the Lions would still be practicing as the Wildcats stayed at home.

St. Helens athlete brings home gold BY CLAUDE AKINS
cakins@countrymedia.net | @claude_akins
From the red rock of St. George, Utah, one St. Helens resident is bring back gold. Gary Loosli competed in both the men’s doubles and mixed doubles in tennis at the Hunstman World Senior Games hosted Oct. 2 –Oct. 8 in the southern Utah city. In men’s doubles he and his partner Al Throckmorton went 1-2 and did not place. In the mixed, how-
ever, Loosli and Adrienne Mayberry of Henderson, Nevada took home the gold in the 80-89 age bracket. The Huntsman World Senior Games began in 1987 with the mission of promoting physical fitness for seniors, stating “the golden years are better when good health and physical fitness became a way of life, not an occasional hobby.” The games, in addition to promoting sports as a way to enhance the lives of seniors, also provides
health screenings for prostate and breast cancer and hosts an array of social events: concerts, dances and award dinners are all part of the experience of competing at the games. “I’ve been it doing it for 16 years,” Loosli said. “It’s good camaraderie, and you meet people that go down there each year and compete. It’s good competition.” “The weather was decent, too, and they have a whole bunch of volunteers to make it possible,” Loosli
said. Their website estimates that roughly 2,500 seasonal volunteers support a fulltime staff in their effort to offer 27 athletic events and host 11,000 athletes from around the world. Loosli moved to St. Helens in 1966 and opened a general medical and surgical office, where he practiced until 2000. He rented a vacated office, opened up shop, and said he had the biggest waiting room in Oregon. He has always had a pas-
sion for tennis. When his children attended St. Helens High School the school did not offer tennis and, not wanting his children to be without the game he loved, Loosli persuaded the athletic director to inaugurate a team. “It was really tough back then, I had to get volunteers, usually one of the kid’s dads,” Loosli said. For Loosli, the games offer a fun way to remain active athletically, which has always been a focal point of his life. The retired surgeon played tennis and
track and field recreationally at Weber College in Ogden, UT. In high school he played both tennis and football. “I’ve been into athletics my whole life,” Loosli said. “My dad was an athlete. It’s been a big part of my life, it helps to keep me active and doing things. I’m not as active anymore, but I still try to do things.” “I think people should do [this],” Loosli said. “I’m going to be 84 and its fun to get out and compete.”

St. Helens High School
SUCCESS STORIES St. Helens High School and The Chronicle partnered to highlight the accomplishments of SHHS graduates. This is our third installment of what will be a regular feature in our paper going forward. Educational Background: Colleen Forbes earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Whitworth University in Spokane. She entered college directly after high school and received her degree in 2014. What was the hardest thing about getting into, transitioning to, or completing your training? Frankly the hardest part was trying to decide during
my junior year if I wanted to stay in my major or not. What kept me from switching was that I liked my internship that I had already taken the summer before and wanted to work at that company after graduation. That and I didn’t want to waste the mandatory year of physics that I took my freshman year if I were to switch majors.
ing your training?
What especially interesting or exciting thing did you do or learn dur-
I’m currently a Software Engineer at Microsoft. There are two things that
My favorite class was my mobile apps class. We learned how to program apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone and our final project was to design and implement any app that we wanted to create. What work are you doing now?
I really enjoy about my job. The first is seeing how my work actually impacts millions of people all over the world. The second is working with people who’ve come from all over the world and learning more about their different cultures. How did St Helens help put you on the path to where you are now? Which classes or extracurriculars were especially helpful?
My math classes were helpful for Computer Science. More importantly though, doing theatre and writing essays in various classes, because there are several different times when I’ve had to present what I’m working on to my manager and the seniors on my team. Then while working on a project I’ll have to document to help future coworkers understand the system. Courtesy photo
