County picks Detloff for undersheriff By Gladys Sharar Henry “Pat” Detloff, chief deputy in the Clackamas County Sheriffs department was the unanimous choice of the Columbia County Board of Commissioners to serve as temporary undersheriff in Co lumbia County. The county has been with out its top law officer since Sheriff George Hulit resigned last month after being con victed of three misdemeanor charges. Everyone hears hammers and saws at work all around Ver nonia, many of them wielded by the Mennonites who have come from across the country to give a hand to our hard-hit communi ty. I truly think they are God-sent. We also see Mennonite ladies in the kitchen at the Evangeli cal Bible Church, busily preparing three meals a day for 30 to 35 hard workers. The day I stopped by, there were four ladies busy preparing dinner: Lillian Yoder from Indiana, Martha Yoder and Barbie Zook from New York and Mary Ellen Wagler from Ten nessee. Here are some recipes they are sharing with us. PEANUT BUTTER DELIGHT Detloff will serve until the end of this year as a “loaned executive” from Clackamas County and will remain on the Clackamas County payroll, with his salary reimbursed by Columbia County. Detloff has 22 years in the Clackamas Sheriff’s department. A permanent replacement for Hulit must be chosen by the voters in November. There will be no primary elec tion for the non-partisan posi tion. B O R ED ? Becom e a vo lu nte er.
