Residents protest zoning change for Toledo gravel mine
By STEPHEN FLOYD
TownCrier@flannerypubs.com
Local residents have spoken out against what they see
as the un-permitted use of
agricultural land near Toledo
for mining purposes as the
landowner in question seeks
a zoning change from the
county.
During a meeting of
the Lewis County Planning
Commission June 10, more
than 20 area residents spoke
against a request by Lemmie Rockford, owner of 57
acres of agriculturally-zoned
land along the Cowlitz River
west of Exit 59, to re-zone
the land for mining, despite
Rockford’s establishment of
an un-zoned gravel mine in
2012 at the location.
“I see it, I hear it all the
time, I can’t get away from
it,” said resident Jesse Gac,
who lives near the gravel pit
and was among residents
who complained of noise
pollution, dust being blown
from the site, and changes
in the smell of local groundwater. “It’s grown where it
shouldn’t be.”
Speaking on behalf of
concerned residents was
Olympia-based attorney Mick
Phillips, who told commissioners a permit to excavate
20 acres of the property for
an artificial pond had been
granted by the State Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) in 1995 to then-property owner Ron Wallace, and
was acquired by Rockford
when Rockford purchased
the property in 2012.
Phillips said Rockford has
since violated the conditions
of the permit by digging both
outside the permitted area for
the pond and failing to account for the eventual reclamation of the land.
“We don’t want it expanded, we don’t want it re-zoned,”
said Phillips, who provided
the commission with more
than 300 documents related
to his clients’ arguments, including a DNR report of the
state’s recent follow-ups with
Rockford regarding possible
violations of the Surface Mining Reclamation Act.
In the report, dated March
22 of last year, officials noted
the topsoil within the field
was not being protected or
replaced as is required by
state law, while excavation
had been taking place outside
the south and west boundaries originally designated for
the pond.
“The disturbed area has
exceeded the permit boundary,” stated the report, adding, “an expanded reclamation permit application must
be submitted.”
While the problems identified by DNR were required
to be corrected by May 25,
2013, Rockford has yet to respond to the report, accord-

The owner of a gravel mine west of Exit 59 (pictured) has applied for a zoning change with Lewis County to amend his
property from agriculture resource land to mining resource land. Residents are protesting the Lewis County Planning
Commission to turn down the request on the basis owner Lemmie Rockford has proceeded with establishing his mine
prior to receiving proper permits, while violating the state permits he does have.
ing to Phillips.
Also affirming the concerns of residents was Ron
Averill, president of the Lewis County Farm Bureau, who
told commissioners the composition and depth of the topsoil at the property, estimated
to be around 10 feet deep,
was of substantial quality for
crops such as hay, Christmas
trees and pastures, among
other agricultural uses.
“We are short on agricultural resource land,” said
Averill, stating he was concerned about the capacity of
Rockford to reclaim the land
if it were allowed to be used
for mining.
Commissioners said reclamation was one of the issues
they were most concerned
about while reviewing public
testimony, as it seemed clear
to them any mining use of
the property would prevent
future uses for other purposes.
“It’s a one-way street,”
said Commission Chair Mike
Mahoney of approving Rockford’s request.
Also of concern for commissioners were the many
reports of potential safety
hazards related to Rockford’s
mining activities, which included mining trucks en-
tering and leaving the area
while driving recklessly, slash
piles burned without proper
permitting, and roads and
bridges leading to the mine
having not been constructed
for heavy industry.
“I will investigate that,”
said Community Development Director Lee Napier,

Winlock elects to increase price of sewer and water hookup fees
By STEPHEN FLOYD
TownCrier@flannerypubs.com
The Winlock City Council has chosen to increase the
city’s sewer and water hookup fees as part of ongoing
efforts to revise and update
their utility billing practices.
Approved during their
June 9 meeting, the council chose to increase water
hookup fees from $2,500
to $3,000 for connections
within the city limits, from
$3,800 to $4,000 for connections outside the city limits,
and sewer hookup fees from
$3,500 to $4,000 for connections inside and outside the
city limits.
“We’re still cheaper than
everybody else around us,”
said Council Member Sarah
Gifford. “We’re cheaper than
Napavine, Vader, Toledo.”
Also on the table is a
shortening of the city’s utility hookup abandonment
timetable, as it currently
takes two years of inactivity
before a hookup fee will be
required to restore services.
City Attorney Erin Hillier had advised the council
May 27 these terms were
extremely lax compared to
how other cities in the state
operate, and noted some
municipalities allow only 90
until a hookup is abandoned,
stating this is an extreme on
the other end of the scale.
Hillier suggested the
council
consider
four
months of non payment as
an option to trigger hookup
abandonment,
primarily
because the city is entitled
under state law to impose a
lien on a property for unpaid
utilities after the same four
months, she said.
“That four-month limit
is one you really need to pay
attention to,” she told the
council at that time, adding officials are in no way
obligated to choose such
a timeline but should con-
sider what is best for the
city. “You’re going to have
to look to see if that works
for Winlock. You guys are a
unique city.”
While discussing the increase in hookup fees June
9, the Dowell said hookup abandonment policies
should be discussed at the
next meeting when Hillier is
expected to be in attendance,
so the city may be advised of
their rights and options.
These increases in fees
come at a time when Winlock’s sewer and water systems are in significant need
of repair, as leaks in the water system are straining well
pumps while infiltration into
the sewer system has led to
recent bypasses into Olequa
Creek during high flow
events.
In order to begin tackling the problem, the council approved an application
seeking $988,626 in Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) funding for
the replacement of significant portions of the water
system, as well as $49,000
from CDBG for updates to
its water system plans.
The council also approved a CDBG application for $1 million toward
the replacement of its entire
sewer system, indented to be
accepted next year, with an
expectation of seeking an
additional $1 million for the
project through other funding sources such as the Department of Ecology.
Dowell added, if only
a portion of the grants are
awarded, Winlock will begin
replacing whichever sections
of the systems it can afford
to at that time.
The next Winlock City
Council meeting is scheduled
for June 23 at 6:30 p.m. in
City Hall. Those with questions or in need of accommodations may call (360)

shooting range, located north
of Castle Rock off Exit 52
on Toutle Park Rd., had been
subject to a May 29 deadline
to complete its second phase
of construction, which involved building restrooms,
a kitchen and classroom
space in an enclosed building. By the time the deadline
approached, Phase II was
reportedly 10 working days
away from completion, and
construction was shut down
May 30.
As of June 10, the range
itself, completed last year and
opened May 1, 2013, has also
been closed in a move organizers say is beyond the actions the county should have
taken.
“That’s pretty draconian,
as I would say,” said Miller,
stating the range has hosted
more than 3,500 shooters
since opening, while more
than 630 area residents have
purchased regular range passes. “The loser is the shooting
public.”
Miller said he feels there
have been multiple breakdowns in communication between the county and Cowlitz
Game & Anglers, the private
club operating the range and
organizing construction, stating delays were encountered
both in starting Phase II as
well as the approval of design plans.
“It’s been misinformation flowing between the
county administrators and
our club,” said Miller, who
is also president of Cowlitz
Game & Anglers, adding
his group had interpreted
a “substantial completion”
requirement for the May 29
deadline to mean Phase II
was almost done rather than
entirely completed.
County Commissioner
Jim Misner, who had reported the closure to the
commission, acknowledged
county officials have “shared
blame” in the matter, stating
certain revisions requested
by architects were “not insurmountable, but they were not
addressed in time.”
“As a private business
man who has worked through
permitting and stuff like that,
sometimes the requirements
can be very frustrating,” he
said, adding he understands
if those who have worked on
the range feel let down by the
county’s decision. “It’s very
frustrating for volunteers
when something like this
happens.”
Misner said a public hearing to consider an extension
of the special use permit has
been scheduled for July 3,
after which he said the hearing examiner may choose to
issue a ruling or schedule another hearing for additional
community input.
Miller said he would encourage supporters of the
range to attend the hearing,
as well as send letters to their
county commissioners and
local newspapers, in order to
show the impact the range
has had on the region since
opening.
Miller said, if the hearing examiner extends their
permit and allows the range
to re-open next month, pass
holders will be allowed one
extra month of use to make
up for the time the range is
currently unavailable. He
added he will also be seeking
legal counsel to determine if
the completed facilities may
remain open, but indicated
the likelihood may be slim
given the bureaucratic processes leading up to the closure.
Cowlitz Game & Anglers
encourages those with questions to contact the commissioners’ office at (360) 5773020, or Ron Junker, Cowlitz
County facilities service
director, at (360) 577-3174.
Miller can also be contacted
regarding club business at
(360) 274-7559.
The July 3 hearing will
be taking place at 11 a.m. in

Soldier booked for
rape of Toledo teen
A Tacoma man stationed
at Joint Base Lewis-McChord
has been arrested for allegedly
raping a young Toledo woman
last month, according to the
Lewis County Sheriff ’s Office.
Timothy R. Warner, 21,
was contacted June 9 after a
warrant was issued for his arrest following an investigation
into a rape occurring May 3
on the 600 block or Gore Rd.
in Onalaska.
The 18-year-old victim had
reported the attack June 2 and
told deputies she had been at
a friend’s house when Warner,
whom she had just met that
day, sexually assaulted her.
Once Warner was identified as a suspect, he was located on base and booked
into the Lewis County Jail for
second-degree rape.

of a drowning.
Deputies learned from
witnesses that the victim, a
17-year-old Tacoma boy, had
been camping at the park with
a group of friends when they
all decided to go swimming
at the nearby Chehalis River.
The boy told his friends he
was not a very good swimmer.
One of his friends told him
not to jump in the water. The
boy then jumped feet first into
the water.
One witness said when
he surfaced from the jump
he looked panic stricken and
began flailing his arms. The
witness, a 19 year old female,
jumped in to save him but he
was flailing his arms so much
that she was unable to make
contact before he quickly
went under water and did not
resurface.
The victim was from Nigeria originally and had only
been in Washington for eight
months. This was his first
camping experience.
Rescuers were not able to
locate him until June 15 and
found his body in the same
area he went under. The water
was fairly swift and cold.
“This is another tragic water related fatality,” said Sheriff Steve Mansfield. “We are
advising the public that whenever you are in areas of water,
wear a flotation device if you
aren’t a good swimmer. Ninety
percent of water related fatalities could have been prevented
by wearing a floatation device.”

Ken Smith (center) on Thursday to replace a flag burned at the Vader City Jail May 25. The story of the desecrated flag,
which had been on loan to the city from Smith and wife Linda while they repaired the original, drew regional attention, and
Hillsboro, Ore., resident Emily Wheelbargar drove up May 30 to donate a 5’ x 8’ cotton flag flown over the US Capital Building to replace the emblem which had been burned. A smaller flag was also donated from the Knights of Columbus, based
in Chehalis, and Smith accepted both on behalf of the residents of Vader and veterans throughout the community.

Castle Rock ready for fifth annual ‘I Topped the Rock’ Saturday
Area residents will be
getting together Saturday for
the fifth annual I Topped
the Rock fundraiser in Castle
Rock, with proceeds going to
the Castle Rock PTO.
Featuring a 5K walk-run
as well as a raffle, kids games
and live entertainment, this
year’s fundraiser is hoping to
provide new lockers at the
Castle Rock High School, as
the current lockers are said to
be on their last hinges.
The primary event will
take place at the Castle Rock
Middle School (615 Front
Ave.), where the 5K race
along the Cowlitz River will
commence. The course will
progress down Riverfront
Trail to The Rock, namesake
of the city, where participants
receive a green bracelet of
accomplishment at the summit from event sponsor Fibre
Federal Credit Union.
While running times will
be kept and awards will be
given for those who are able
to complete the course the
fastest, participants are encouraged to run, or walk, at
their own pace and enjoy both
the scenery and experience of
helping out their community.
Awards are also expected
to be given for individuals and
groups with the best outfits,
and it has been said the crazier
the better.
After the race, there will
be a Little Rocket Run for kids
ages 7 and under, face painting, games, bounce house, hot
dogs and soda. Lacey Rha’s
Café, based in Downtown
Castle Rock, will also be available to provide iced coffee.
Registration for the race
begins at 8 a.m. and costs $15
for adults and $12 for kids 18
and under. Event t-shirts will
also be $10, while supplies
last. For more info, call Melody Kranz at (360) 355-5426.
