“Besides a lifetime of participation as a spectator of the Port-O-Fun parade, my actual involvement in helping to organize the parade began in 1979 when I became a member of the St. Helens Jaycees, who at that time organized the St. Helens Port-O-Fun celebration which included the parade, carnival, beer garden, concerts, queen coronation and pageant, among many other activities spanning 3 1/2 days the third weekend of June each year,” Heimuller said. “For two or three of my years as a Jaycee, I was the parade chairman.”

proud of. The parade itself offers an opportunity for people to have an idea, organization, be creative, set a goal, and make something from concept to completion.” The parade theme, “Coming Back Together 2022,” is to remember and celebrate what the members of the community have in common after being without a parade for two long years, according to Knox. This year’s parade Grand Marshall is Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller, a lifelong community member.

“Coming Back Together 2022” is the theme of the annual St. Helens Kiwanis Community Parade scheduled for Saturday, June 18. The popular event that attracts thousands to the city has been absent for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The parade registration and staging begin at 9 a.m. at Emmert Motors, 2175 Columbia Boulevard. Participants are staged on the surrounding blocks off of Columbia Boulevard. Judging starts at 11 a.m. and the parade starts at 12 p.m. Registration packets are available at st.helenskiwanisparade@ gmail.com, or contact Lisa Lewis at 503-407-7916 or Judy Thompson at 503-3976056.

tion is encouraged but may be conducted the day of the parade. Organizers ask that participants read and closely follow the parade rules. There is no registration fee. The parade begins at 2175 Columbia Boulevard across from Emmert Motors and will travel down Columbia Boulevard as it turns into 1st Street and continues past the Dockside Steak & Pasta Restaurant onto the riverfront property and will exit onto Plymouth Street. The St. Helens Kiwanis Community Parade is unique, according to Kiwanis President Janis Knox. “This parade doesn’t depend on a holiday to support it,” she said. “It is all about the community itself, bringing us all together, showing off what we do what we stand for, why we live here, and what we are

Heimuller said over the course of many years he has provided and driven tractors and trailers that have been converted into floats for groups such as, the Columbia County Dairy Women, Oregon State Dairy Princess Ambassador, Columbia County Fair Board, RSVP My Fair Lady Court and the Warren Grange. The parade route is closed to public traffic during the event. Organizers ask that the public be extra watchful for a variety of participants including vehicles, animals, and

children, and to plan for alternative routes, and extra time to get where you want to go around town during the staging and the parade. Specific details about the history of the Community Parade are unclear, but the committee members said the event has been called the Salmon Derby, Port of Fun, and evolved into the St. Helens Kiwanis Community Parade. The 2022 parade is said to be the 107th such event. Read more in a special presentation in the June 8 edition of The Chronicle.

Summer splash season to begin soon

As summer approaches, administrators at the Clatskanie Pool are preparing the facility for the season. The tentative pool opening date is June 20, but not yet confirmed. Clatskanie Parks and

Recreation District Administrator Cyndi Warren said she is still working to get the lifeguard schedules worked out and the new lifeguards trained for the season. Warren said the pool is currently looking at having 18-20 guards this summer, which is up about six to eight from the previous two summers. A final number is expected after the lifeguard training. “The hours of the pool operation will be determined

by the number of staff we have,” Warren said. “We are planning for 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday with weekends still to be determined. We are hoping to be back to our full schedule of lessons and open swims, but again all of this depends on lifeguard availability.” Teaching community youth about water safety has always been the purpose of the pool, according to Warren. “But I also love the

excitement on the faces of the kiddos when they come back each summer and recognize their swim instructor from last year or how excited they are to find out what level they passed last summer and what level they will be in this summer,” she said. Swimming lessons and water exercise classes for community members and city visitors also are planned for this summer at the pool.

History Built in 1958, the Clatskanie Pool is 90-feet long, 60-feet wide, and holds approximately 135,000 gallons of water, but over the years it has aged, and significant repairs were needed. Renovations completed last year include resurfacing the deck, resurfacing and repainting the pool, replacing of the old tile gutter system with a stainless-steel gutter system. The wading pool has

been replaced with a splash pad, and multiple pool piping issues including failures, potential failures and existing leaks were addressed. The renovation project costs were funded through the City of Clatskanie’s Scout Lake Funds, a special timber revenue collection set aside by the City of Clatskanie.
