Rodeo Court has “Country Roots & Cowboy Boots” BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

COLUMBIA COUNTY — When one pictures a rodeo queen, they are likely to visualize a girl with a big hat, a big smile and even bigger hair. While these characteristics are definitely applicable to the three young women that make up the 2014 Columbia County Fair and Rodeo Court, it would be important to note that their titles also require a big heart, as sweat, sunburns and lack of sleep cannot deter them from serving as ambassadors of the county and the sport of rodeo. “Country Roots and Cowboy Boots” is the theme for next week’s 99th annual Columbia County Fair and Rodeo, and Queen Savannah Dreyer and princesses Ashley Lanphear and Baylee Crawford are just some of the folks there that embody the phrase. Dreyer is the daughter of Janice Gonzales and Ryan Dreyer. She and her American Paint Horse, Rocky, have been quite active in the St. Helens High School Equestrian Team, various team and individual rodeo events, Columbia County Rodeo Drill Team and 4-H. Lanphear is the daughter of Jason and Becky Lanphear of Deer Island. She rides Shoni, a 14-year-old Appaloosa buckskin mare See COURT Page A6

St. Helens man injured in fall from cliff St. Helens teen killed in automobile wreck

A St. Helens man was injured July 4 when he fell from a cliff overlooking Grey Cliffs Waterfront Park in St. Helens. Nicholas Dunnington, 23, fell approximately 30 to 40 feet from near the top of the cliff to the rocks below, according to St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. Dunnington, and a group of friends, were walking up a trail that leads to a street at the top of the cliff after the fireworks show in Olde Towne. Dunnington slipped in the dark and fell. He landed in an area of broken rock at the base of the cliff. Ron Youngberg of Columbia River Fire and

Rescue characterized his injuries as serious. He was transported to a Portland area hospital. Moss said alcohol consumption was a factor in the accident. “When you add alcohol, it’s a bad combination,” Moss said. “I’m shocked he was not more seriously injured.” Moss said he was not aware of a similar incident in recent history at the park. “I’ve never heard of anything like it,” he said. North River Street runs along the top of the bluff, overlooking marinas and the historic courthouse. There is no fence or railing along the bluff.

COLUMBIA COUNTY — Residents around the county will be seeing changes to area roadways this summer as paving commences on more than 40 county roads, resulting in approximately 100 new patches of asphalt. “This is going to be a very, very busy summer program for us,” said David Hill, director of the Columbia County road department. “We plan to put down 13,000 tons of asphalt in the four districts that we have and it’s relatively evenly split between the districts. In the St. Helens district, we plan to put

A 16-year-old St. Helens youth was killed in a traffic accident early Sunday morning west of Rainier. Oregon State Police investigators said on July 6 at approximately 12:55 a.m., a 1993 Subaru driven by 16-year-old Seeaira D. Hicks was eastbound on Highway 30 near milepost 53. For an unconfirmed reason, the car traveled off the eastbound shoulder and rolled several times before coming to rest on its top. Hicks was killed. A 16-year-old passenger, Scott A. Hamlin,

down like about 3,600 ton. The Rainier district would be 3,570 ton, Vernonia would be 2,400 ton, and the Clatskanie area about 3,400 ton.” In maintenance district 1 — St. Helens and Scappoose — the county will be patching sections of the following roads: South Canaan, Pittsburg, Columbia (Scappoose), Branch, Meadow, Coal Creek, Alder Creek, Cater, Sykes, Division, Moore and McDermott. Rainier, district 2, will see improvements to Tide Creek, Neer City, Atkins, Laurelwood, Lindberg, Rockcrest, Old Highway 30, Fernhill, Skeans, Pellham See ROADS, Page A2

received minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to PeaceHealth St. John Medical Center in Longview, Wash. Hamlin is also a St. Helens resident. Investigators said both were using safety restraints and the car’s airbags deployed. OSP troopers from St. Helens and Astoria offices responded to the scene to investigate. There is no evidence that alcohol or drugs were contributing factors. OSP is looking at driver fatigue as a possible reason for the accident.

Family needs help to send son with autism to camp BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — After sitting on the waiting list to take part in a special camp designed for children with autism, a St. Helens family has started a fundraiser after being informed that they were accepted to a camp just weeks away. Sara Hudson says her 5-year-old son, Tucker Maupin, was diagnosed with classic nonverbal autism when he was 2. Since his diagnosis, Tucker has progressed with help from Early Intervention programs, specialized therapies and organizations such as Autism Speaks. Surfers Healing, a specialized surf camp for chil-

dren with autism, is another organization that Hudson feels would benefit her son. “Through the transformative experience of surfing, Surfers Healing attains greater mainstream acceptance for both the families of and the kids living with autism,” the organization’s website states. “People seem to have a lot of pre-conceived ideas about what kids with autism can or can’t do. We’re here to change those notions forever. Surfers Healing has spent the last fifteen years taking children with autism surfing. Our goal is to help foster the understanding and acceptance of autism.” “With the help of incredible volunteers and a team of the most amazing surfers in the water, Surfers Healing is making a difference in the lives of families and

kids living with autism. Last year we took out over 4,500 kids.” When Hudson tried to sign up Tucker for a surf camp a few months ago, there weren’t any participant slots available, so his name was put on a waiting list. On July 1, the family was informed that Tucker was accepted to a July 23 surf camp at Pacific Beach in San Diego, Calif. The camp is offered free of charge, but the family is responsible for their travel, food and lodging expenses. Since they were accepted to the camp with about three weeks to prepare, the family is scrambling to collect the funds they need to take Tucker to Surfers Healing. Hudson estimates that the trip will cost them roughly $5,000.

She says the camp is a good fit for her son, as he is soothed by crashing waves and the tranquility of any type of water. “It also gives us an opportunity to bond with other families who know what we go through and probably most importantly it allows us to do something like a normal functioning family might be able to do, and allows us for one day to not think about his disability,” she shares on Tucker’s fundraising page. Anyone who would like to help get Tucker get to the Surfers Healing camp can donate online at www. gofundme.com/ayqe1g. Hudson says any money that is left over will be donated to Surfers Healing, so they can continue to offer camps.

ROADS: Maintenance allocation provides funds for repairs From PAGE A1 Hill and Alston Mayger roads. Fishhawk, Keasey and Timber roads will be patched in Vernonia, district 3. In Clatskanie, district 4, crews will be working on sections of Mayger, Blackford, Ilmarri, Wirkkala, Rutters, Carlson, Lindberg, Palm Hill, Beaver Dike, Depot, Johnson, Alder Grove, Beaver Falls, Clatskanie Heights, Conyers Creek, and Swedetown roads. Hill says he obtained prices from all available asphalt plants in the area and the lowest quote he received was $53 per ton of asphalt. “The lowest price happens to be local,” he explained. “It’s from TFT, under the bridge in Rainier. So since they are the closest and the lowest cost … we will be getting all of our product from TFT.” Project materials will be purchased with $650,000 from the Federal Service Transportation Program and $350,000 in county road funding. Hill estimated that the county will pay an additional $500,000 for labor,

fuel and equipment costs. Ranging from 1 inch to 1.5 inches thick, the overlays average 800 feet in length. When the project is completed around the end of September, 88,000 lineal feet will be paved, accounting for approximately 17 miles of the 388 total miles of paved roads in the county. “Even though this is a big program for us, it’s not nearly close to what has to be done, but we’ll do the best we can with what we have,” said Hill. He estimated that the asphalt overlays should last for 16 years. There are many roads scheduled to receive chip seals next year (mostly in districts 1 and 4), which he says will last about eight years. Some paved roads — such as Cox Road in Clatskanie and Lentz Road in Rainier — are in such poor condition that Hill feels that it would be a “waste of money” to repair them with any more asphalt patches. The asphalt on those roads will eventually be ground up into chunks and put back, creating a gravel-like road.

older sisters — Samantha, Chelsea, and Lindsay — and grandparents. At the end of August, Deanne and Wade flew to Russia to pick up the girls, who were 9 and 12 at the time. When Olya started school a few days after arriving at her new home, the only English word she knew was “bathroom”. But the girls grasped the basics of English rather quickly. “By November, they were speaking enough English that we could get by,” Deanne says. “I guess it was either sink or swim!” Olya adds, “My parents didn’t know Russian at all, we just talked really loud. I don’t know, I guess my mom thought talking really loud would help. We would do hand gestures, and the funny thing is that she still does them!” “We talked loudly to each other and sometimes it was not always easy,” Deanne admits. One would never guess Olya ever struggled with English, but she credits her skills to the one-on-one help she received at school from Krista Mosley and Mrs. Betsy Penziol, and listening to “a lot of country music.” “The city of St. Helens, their teachers, the kids, they just rallied around them and were so kind,” Deanne says. “A group of kids took them under their wing and they’ve done really well. They’re really good kids.” Having just graduated from St. Helens High School, Olya is currently working at a local fast food restaurant with plans to attend cosmetology school soon. Alyona was her senior class president and now works as a nanny and at the Little Learners Preschool at Grace Baptist Church. Olya also credits her parents for her growth and achievements. “It’s interesting to see

how somebody can care for you that doesn’t really know you very well. I think that’s really cool. My mom didn’t really know me and especially my dad, like, he had never met me before.” “When I first got adopted, I know people weren’t trying to be mean, but they would always be like ‘How did you get picked out?’ I’m not on the Safeway shelf. I’m a child. It’s not like ‘let me pick out what kind of apple I want.’ It takes a lot more than just that. “I think adoption is an opportunity because you get chosen by somebody… My

parents had three kids, they didn’t have to get a 9-yearold and a 13-year-old. They didn’t have to, but they chose to. So I think that it’s important for people to see that just because they’re orphans doesn’t mean their parents didn’t want them. That’s not what it is at all, there’s circumstances that people can’t help. There’s people that just can’t do it, and I think if you give them up to an orphanage, maybe that’s not the best thing but at the moment, it may seem like the best thing. “The kind of conditions I grew up in before I went

to the orphanage was a lot more harmful than the orphanage, so I think people don’t realize there’s different circumstances for every adoption case.” For her senior project, Olya spoke at her church and to classrooms in order to collect over 500 pairs of socks to send to the Mstyora orphanage. “I think that’s part of my reason for doing the adoption and reaching out to elementary and smaller kids is because I wanted them to see that the orphans were just like them, they just live in a different building.”

Community Meals celebrates five years; honors volunteers BY AMANDA FRINK amandaf@thechronicleonline.com

ST. HELENS — At their five-year anniversary dinner June 24, the Community Meals program celebrated its accomplishments and held a surprise ceremony to recognize volunteers Scott and Kathy Bauska for their selfless efforts in ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry. After receiving their “Golden Apron Award,” the Bauskas were back in the kitchen that Thursday, where they helped with a variety of tasks, from peeling potatoes and trimming produce to washing dishes and brewing coffee. The Bauskas, who have had active roles in Community Meals since its formation in 2009, are quick to brush aside the recognition, as they feel their work is simply fulfilling the Community Meals mission statement: “Helping our neighbors in need with dignity, respect and hospitality.” Fellow volunteer Edie Douglas says the Bauskas do more than that. “They show pure love to the community through their faith … They have compassion for their fellow man,”

she explains. Kathy, coordinator for Community Meals, says the program typically serves 120-130 meals each Tuesday and Thursday at the First Lutheran Church. Sometimes they feed more people toward the end of the month, when money is tight for most folks. All guests receive a meal at no cost. Serving approximately 1,100 meals every month

Though the ingredients in the pantry vary from meal to meal, Kathy says the cooks take pride in the dinners they prepare. Some volunteers have been known to put in extra effort to purchase addi-

athy is the go-to person [for the program], and it’s enjoyable to watch her work with people,” states Joe Strandjord. “She just exudes hospitality and welcome.”

at the cost of $1 per meal, Kathy says the program is supported by $500 in donations and $500 in-kind donations each month. Much of their meal ingredients are provided by the Columbia Pacific Food Bank and the St. Helens and Scappoose community gardens. In addition to helping in the kitchen, Scott is one of the volunteers who tends to the community gardens. A community-wide effort, the Community Meals program is made possible by over 100 diverse volunteers on 10 cooking teams who share a variety of tasks, including cooking, baking,

tional ingredients to make the meal special, such as adding sundried tomatoes to a pasta sauce. Whenever there is more produce than what is needed for dinner, volunteers make it available for guests to take with them. In addition to getting a hot and nutritious meal, guests also enjoy the social aspect of dining through conversation with volunteers and fellow diners. Community Meals also hosts a program that provides free books for kids to take home. Kathy estimates that 25 to 30 percent of Community Meals guests are children.

First Lutheran Church Pastor Joe Strandjord watches the program’s volunteers in action every week and says their dedication and deep passion for feeding the hungry is obvious. “Kathy is the go-to person [for the program], and it’s enjoyable to watch her work with people,” he states. “She just exudes hospitality and welcome.” He also feels that Kathy is good at recognizing and fulfilling needs, working with the volunteers, and organizing a meal program that is nicely presented. “She does all of those things in a graceful way,” he praises. “I wouldn’t want to see this program without Kathy.” Community Meals serves free dinners from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the First Lutheran Parish Hall on the corner of 4th and Wyeth streets in St. Helens. Anyone wishing to help in the effort may volunteer or donate funds or supplies. Butter, cheese or mayonnaise are ingredients that are most often needed. All donations given to Community Meals are tax deductible. For more information about Community Meals, call 503-397-0090 or log onto www.cmeals.org.

As with any system CCRider is new & growing. I personally decided to move to Clatskanie for a few good reasons. I had previously worked with a few people from Clatskanie and, as a result, established friendships. The town is friendly and I enjoy the community. The cost of living is much less than in Portland, and by the way, I don’t drive or own a car anymore. So a huge consideration in moving to Clatskanie was the ability to have transportation to and from Clatskanie, Longview and Portland, which CCRider provides. The price is reasonable and even though going from Clatskanie to Portland makes for a long day, the drivers are friendly and helpful and are there to help me get where I need to go. CCRider is still growing and with a little help could grow to provide more and better service to the Clatskanie area. Alan Marston ~ Clatskanie

Letters Static on the Radio I listen to the radio most of the time because I don’t like TV. Every once in a while it’s not all the time but every once in a while big static comes on the Portland station, it lasts about 30 seconds, then it goes away. Something coming on somewhere. It hasn’t always been that way. I thought it was my radio but it isn’t. It’s on the AM station, not the FM station. Those are all good. It’s gone on for several months now. I thought I’d answer his letter by doing what he (Ken Moss) said to do. Donna L.

Sharon Shiel St. Helens Support for Fred Bieber My husband and I have been blessed with the financial advice and assistance of Fred Bieber for a number of years. He helped us make decisions when we retired that have been most helpful and beneficial—and, most importantly, wise and safe. We have had the best possible experience in dealing with him and are sending this letter in his support. We have always felt that his services (initially through the St. Helens Credit Union) were the best thing the credit union ever did for us. We have received exactly what we were promised or more from decisions based on his advice. We feel Fred is an extremely caring and honest person.

Dave Coverly

His knowledge and advice have been so very valuable and appreciated by us over the years. We were crushed on his behalf to read what we feel was such an unfair report concerning him. It seems the editor might have wanted to spend a little more time investigating some of the information he was given or he created before he printed such an article. It doesn’t seem fair that so much damage can be done to a person’s good reputation by one article that may not be very accurate and is misleading. By the way, when I talked to Fred Bieber following this news release, he told me he is still open for business in St. Helens. He would also welcome the opportunity to talk to anyone who has questions about the information in this news article. His number is 503-410-5099. I think he deserves the opportunity for a rebuttal. We constantly hear complaints about the lack of businesses in our community. I think he and his business have been a blessing to our community. Let’s not “run him out of town.” I think he has proven himself to many of our citizens, and we need to defend a good man. Jean LeMont, Columbia City

Red Cross encourages kids to learn to swim The recent rise in temperatures has led to an unfortunate spike in the number of water-related deaths in Oregon. A recent survey that found that while 80 percent of Americans said they could swim, only 56 percent of self-described swimmers can actually perform basic skills that could save their life in the water. “Every kid in the county needs to learn how to swim. We live on a river,” said Anne Scholtz, director of Eisenschmidt Pool in St. Helens. “As families gear up for trips to the pool, beach, river and lakes, we encourage community members to make water safety a priority this summer,” said Brian Hoffmeister, aquatics specialist for the American Red Cross. “The goal of the Red Cross water safety campaign is to reduce the number of deaths related to drowning by more than 50 percent, and we strongly encourage residents to help in these efforts by enrolling in aquatics classes.” Scholtz said Eisenschmidt Pool offers Red Cross swimming classes for children as young as 3 years old. This summer, classes run through-

out the day. During the school year, classes are available outside school hours. Every day, an average of 10 people die in the United States from unintentional drowning, 20 percent of whom are children 14 years old or younger, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2012, a total of 71 reported deaths in Oregon were caused by unintentional drowning, according to the Oregon Health Authority. A key goal of the new campaign is to reduce waterrelated deaths by increasing critical “water competency” skills. These skills include the ability to step or jump into water over one’s head, return to the surface and float or tread water for one minute, turn around in a full circle to find an exit, swim at least 25 yards to the exit, and finally exit the water. Scholtz said students are also taught how to put on a life jacket and how to enter the water with one on. “None of the [drowning] victims this past weekend were wearing life jackets,” she said. “I would never go out on open water without one and I’m a very good swimmer,” Scholtz said.

COURT: ‘It’s more about the sport than the title’ From PAGE A1

that she has been training for the last five years. Together, they have spent a lot of time working on the barrel pattern and other gaming events. An eight-year member of the Lariats 4-H club, Lanphear has been the gaming champion for three years at the county fair and she was in the top 10 for gaming at state in 2012. Lanphear taught fellow princess Baylee Crawford how to ride a horse when Crawford was in fourth grade. Crawford is daughter of Tom and Jeanne Crawford of Rainier. While growing up on the family farm with various livestock, Crawford knew she needed a horse. “It took begging and convincing, but every girl wants a horse!” she says with a smile. As a member of 4-H for six years, Crawford remembers seeing rodeo princesses at different events, but she never thought she would end up becoming one. But four horses later, Crawford is now a princess on the rodeo court. A junior at St. Helens High School, she participates in showmanship, western equestrian and western gaming with her bay quarter horse gelding, Tee. As a member of the court, each girl is required to raise $1,500 to help cover clothing and tack costs. The court’s distinct pink outfits are designed by Chris Cooper. Crawford says the most enjoyable part of the job is that she is able to bond with her mom, able travel around the region and meet people, and get exposure with Tee. Many of the court’s days

start early and the preparation starts on the road — with lots of hairspray. “That’s one thing I’ve learned as a rodeo princess, doing my hair and makeup in the car,” says Crawford. “There’s this invention called a portable curling iron, and that is my best friend.” “Lots of hairspray, we have to buy lots of hairspray,” adds Lanphear. “Makeup in the car is no problem; moving vehicles do not scare us.” Once they arrive at a rodeo, they unload the horses, tie them up and give them hay. Then they will tack up, ride for a bit and then wait for the pre-rodeo line-up. When the girls hear their cues, they ride into the arena, smiling and waving all the way. Even when an entrance doesn’t go as planned, Crawford says she’ll improvise. “At Vancouver, I had an ‘oopsie’,” she says. “[Tee] took off and I dropped the reign, so I grabbed the reign with my teeth and kept waving at the same time.” The girls say improvisation is all part of the experience, as the show must go on if a horse is startled, is in heat, or rolls around in the dirt right before making a parade appearance. “You don’t know what your horse is going to do,” Crawford explains. “Is he going to freak out or not go in? But then you go in and when you’re done, you’re like ‘What was I freaking out for?’” The national anthem signals the official start of the rodeo and then the girls work throughout the day “packing flags” between events or “pushing cows” after certain competitions, such as team roping or steer wrestling. When they’re not in the arena,

Man killed in crash on Quincy-Mayger Road

AMANDA FRINK / The Chronicle

Rodeo Princess Baylee Crawford tends to a horse on the family farm. Tee, the horse she often takes to rodeo events, was not interested in being in the limelight.

princesses and queens are often greeting the public, posing for pictures and even signing autographs. “I really enjoy just being out with the public,” says Lanphear. “We go to rodeos, and all these little kids, mostly little girls, they want autographs and pictures with you and I love it. It’s fun, little cowboys flirt with you and it’s great.” The girls agree that being on the court can be exhausting. Over the Fourth of July weekend alone, the court attended rodeos and parades in Vancouver, St. Paul, Clatskanie and Molalla.

A Westport man was killed in an early morning crash on a rural road near Clatskanie. Daniel Raymond Hughes, 26, of Westport was killed on July 5 when the pickup he was driving rolled over on Quincy-Mayger Road. Hughes was ejected from the vehicle and died at the scene. Investigators from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office said alcohol and marijuana use were contributing factors in the crash. Hughes was not wearing a seatbelt. A passenger in the vehicle that CCSO identified as Hughes’ girlfriend was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. CCSO said the couple was returning from a July 4 celebration on a Columbia River beach.

In addition to the physical and mental demands of being in the public eye, the girls must also keep cool in the summer sun, stay hydrated, and find time to sleep and eat. “It’s busy,” says Crawford. “There’s no time to sleep, but we do make exceptions to eat!” “You have to be upbeat and friendly,” she explains. “It can be hard to smile when you’re tired and hungry, but when those kids come up to you, you have a reason to smile. That makes it worth it.” “It’s very demanding, it’s like a job,” adds Lanphear, a high school senior who does

online schooling in order to accommodate her rodeo commitments. “I don’t think people realize how much of an impact we have. I think people think we are just the girls with the curly hair and crowns on their hats, but we bring business to town.” Crawford says her experience on the court has taught her important life skills, such as being punctual and having self-confidence. She says she’s learned a lot of skills by interacting with other rodeo courts and speaking to groups about Columbia County. “It’s nerve wrecking at

first because you have to speak to a lot of people, but it’s good for building confidence,” Crawford admits. She also enjoys the overall environment of the rodeo scene, which she describes as “Patriotic, family-friendly, and good clean fun.” “I like the horse community because everyone helps each other and there’s competition, but at the end of the day, it’s not a competition.” “With the rodeo queens, it doesn’t go to your head,” she adds. “It’s more about the sport than the title … We’re all best friends here, it’s nice.”

ST. HELENS — In partnership with the Maritime Heritage Festival and Save the PT Boat, Inc., St. Helens Public Library will host a World War II Patrol Torpedo (PT) Boat lecture on Tuesday, July 15 at 7 p.m. in the Columbia Learning Center Auditorium. Save the PT Boat, Inc. is a Portland-based non-profit organization that operates and displays a fully restored and operational World War II PT Boat in the Pacific Northwest. The group will talk about their nearly 13year restoration of PT 658, a PT Boat that was delivered to the US Navy for transport to Russia in July 1945. After being routed to Washington, PT 658 was assigned to the Navy’s Pacific Missile Test Center in California to support missile range, before being declared surplus in 1958. The boat was then converted to a pleasure craft. It fell into poor condition and was partially sunk when it was donated to the Portland PT veterans. Today, PT 658 has been fully restored to its original condition through the efforts of Save the PT Boat, Inc., dozens of volunteers, corporate sponsors and
