Theft of Services
The Vernonia Police Department has received
reports of people who dump their personal
garbage into containers belonging to business
es in Vernonia, the Senior Center also has this
problem. We have instructed the businesses to
contact us when this occurs and we will inves
tigate and locate those responsible.
This act falls under the state statute of Theft
of Services, which can range from a Class C
Misdemeanor to a Class B Felony, depend
ing on the dollar amount of services utilized.
Elere’s a suggestion to those responsible for
this problem: Sign up for garbage service or
take your garbage to the Vernonia Transfer
Station every 2nd and 4th Saturday of each
month. Stop trying to make someone else pay
your garbage bill.

Fly tying book signing combined
vember 18. The event is being
hosted by the St. Helens Book
Shop.
Clark, a retired St. Helens
High School shop teacher, de-
veloped unique tying concepts
using polypropylene (poly yarn)
by blending his knowledge of
art with his skills as a fly tier.
Poly yarn is buggy, buoyant
and blendable, making it the
perfect material for tying effec
tive fishing flies. Fly Tying With
Poly Yarn includes full color
step-by-step instructions, yarn
foundations, body wraps, yarn
shrouds, wings and more.
Clark details 12 different fish-
catching flies, including the
Clark’s Stonefly, with patterns
for imitating caddisflies and
mayflies as well.
The St. Helens Book Shop
is located at 1550 Columbia
Blvd., St. Helens.
Lee Clark, St. Helens author
of the book entitled Fly Tying
with Poly Yarn, published by
Frank Amato, will be at a book
