Port zoning application goes before county

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

In one week the Columbia County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the Port of St. Helens application for rezoning of nearly 1,000 acres at Port Westward.

Where the meeting is being held has been as nearly controversial as the application itself.

“We did not request the location. We’re happy to go wherever the county directs us to go,” said Patrick Trapp, executive director for the Port. “It’s within our Port district, so we’ll go wherever we need to.”

Earlier this year, the Port submitted an application to the county’s planning commission to rezone 957 acres of agricultural land for industrial use. Of that, 786 acres are owned by the Port, with the remainder being privately owned.

“The purpose of the request is to establish land that is zoned so that it could be used for industrial purposes.

That is how the other Portowned property that is zoned accordingly at Port Westward is zoned. We’re trying to align it so they are the same,” said Trapp.

Port officials have said they are seeking to rezone the property to ensure it has shovel-ready sites available to attract new business to the area that will bring muchneeded tax revenue and jobs with above average wages to the county.

But groups like Clean Columbia County and Columbia Riverkeeper are worried about the impacts of allowing that much land to be used for industrial purposes.

In written testimony submitted to the planning commission in May, Columbia Riverkeeper said, “The Port’s proposal is a direct threat to the health and quality of life of Columbia County citizens and our region’s investment in salmon recovery,” adding that the Port’s application failed to explain how adding 957 acres of large-scale industrial development complements the character ­­­­ See PORT Page A3

Les Schwab opens St. Helens replacement store

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Just over a year after a fire destroyed the Les Schwab Tire Center on Columbia River Highway, the company has opened its new store at the old location. For the past year, the company operated out of temporary quarters about a mile to the north on the same highway.

Area Manager George Saddler said the company had planned to wrap up construction work and receive its occupancy permit

by Sept. 6, which did go according to plan.

“That allowed us to move in equipment and stock over the weekend so we could open the new store early the week of Sept. 9,” said

Columbia River claims the life of Scappoose kayaker WOODLAND, WASH. — A 55-year-old Scappoose man drowned late afternoon on Sunday, Sept. 8, after his kayak overturned while he was fishing near Austin Point near Woodland.

At approximately 3 p.m., the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office was notified that a kayak had overturned and the occupant had not resurfaced.

Boats from the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office, Clark County Sheriff’s Office and Clark County Fire, along with the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Coast Guard responded to the area. A Coast Guard helicopter also assisted in the search.

A short time after the search began, side-sonar from the Clark County Sheriff’s boat noted a possible location a short distance from where the man was last seen. Divers went into the water and recovered the body of Richard Schlumpberger.

Schlumpberger’s family was on shore when he went overboard and were ­­­­ See KAYAK Page A3

The new Les Schwab store is located at 58405 Columbia River Highway.

Employees spent the weekend shuttling tires, equipment and office supplies from the temporary shop to the new building.

Much of the heavy equipment was still being used on Saturday at the temporary store to help customers and had to wait until Sunday to be moved to the new site.

“Our customers seem as excited about the new store as we are,” said Terry McMahon, manager of the St. Helens Les Schwab store. “It’s our latest store design and is very inviting and comfortable, with tall ceilings, lots of natural light and big windows between

Police chief remains on suspension following complaint

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — Police Chief Doug Greisen remains on suspension following an investigation into allegations the police chief violated the city’s accepted police procedures. Greisen, who was suspended on Aug. 26, had been scheduled to return to the force on Sept.

9.

Scappoose Police Chief Doug Greisen remains on suspension after a second complaint was filed against him.

City Manager Jon Hanken

“There’s a second issue that until we do the due diligence, he cannot be here,” said City Manager Jon Hanken.

According to Hanken, the complaint was filed by a Scappoose police officer and included 10 allegations.

“As part of any complaint, I brought in an investigator from Local Government Personnel Institute to do an investigation of the

complaint,” said Hanken.

“All 10 of the allegations were sustained as part of the investigation and as such I reviewed everything and made a decision that it was a disciplinary matter and he was suspended for two weeks.”

The police procedures Greisen was alleged to have violated related to training, supervisory, record keeping and police pursuit procedures, defined by Lexipol.

Lexipol, which is based in Aliso Viejo, Calif., provides best practices for law enforcement, custody and fire service organizations.

The company’s website says it is the leading provider of risk management policies and resources for

public safety organizations.

“Lexipol is the police policy manual. There are a lot police departments in Oregon, and in the United States, that follow Lexipol policies,” said Hanken. “It standardizes policies for everything from officer grooming to police pursuits. Those policies were adopted by Scappoose City Council and they apply to all police officers, from the chief on down to the newest.

Greisen was allowed to use his accrued vacation to serve out his suspension.

The police chief remains on suspension because of a second complaint that was recently filed.

“I can’t go into that

because due process is done through an investigation, not the newspaper,” said Hanken. “As time comes up and the merit of those issues reveal themselves or don’t reveal themselves we will deal with that. I brought in another professional investigator. To me, it’s prejudicial to talk about an allegation without doing the proper investigation first. I firmly believe in due process.”

When Greisen will return to duty is dependent on the outcome of the investigation.

“We have to schedule interviews and once the report is written we have to review that,” said Hanken.

“I can’t imagine that taking more than 30-45 days.”

SCHWAB: New store offers ‘complete Schwab experience’ From PAGE A1

the lobby and the service bays so customers can watch the work being done.”

Now just a couple of weeks shy of his 21st anniversary of working for Les Schwab, it’s clear McMahon is proud of the new site, his employees and the community.

“This community is amazing,” said McMahon, noting that after the fire customers brought by cookies and cakes for the employees and one customer even brought in a refrigerator.

Like all Les Schwab Tire Centers, the store also offers customer amenities like free Wi-Fi, television and, of course, Les Schwab’s trademark free popcorn and coffee.

The customer waiting area has also been expanded.

“It’s about twice the size of the old store,” added McMahon. “This is the second one of these buildings in Oregon. Sellwood had the first one. This is what we’re putting in all of the new markets. Anything built from now on will be this style.”

The new store also has environmentally friendly features like rain sensors built into the roof that moni-

tor precipitation and adjust water schedules for the store’s landscaping respectively.

The extra room at the new location could also translate to added employees.

“We’ve put a few more people on and hopefully we will continue to grow and get back to where we were before the fire,” McMahon said.

The temporary site had 11 employees, which has now gone up to 14 employees.

But McMahon hope to eventually get that number back up to 21, the highest number the store had at one point.

“Plans are in the works for a grand reopening celebration later,” said Saddler.

“We’re looking forward to showing our neighbors the new store, and thanking them for sticking with us while we worked out of the temporary building.”

The new store will offer the complete Les Schwab experience. Employees greet customers as they drive onto the parking lot, the showroom offers a wide selection of tires to meet customer safety and driving requirements, and free warranties are provided for tires, brakes, alignments, batteries, shocks and struts.

SHARI PHIEL/The Chronicle

Employees of Les Schwab work in their new fascility. Management is hopeful that the new building, with more room than its last site, will enable the company to add more employees.

PORT: Hearing in Clatskanie From PAGE A1

and development of the surrounding rural area.

The planning commission ultimately denied the Port’s request with a 5-to-1 vote against the application.

“I am deeply concerned about the ramifications of the application,” said Planning Commissioner Linda Hooper. “My specific concern is about the intended use, the intended industrial use as higher and better than agricultural use. I have big concern about the unknown.”

With the planning commission ruling against the application, it is now up to the county commissioners to make the final decision, at least until an appeal is filed.

The commissioners have come under fire for the

decision to hold the public hearing in Clatskanie, rather than at the courthouse. Some opponents to the expansion request have said by holding the meeting in Clatskanie, many people – especially those who work in the Portland metro area – won’t be able to make it to the meeting in time.

“A precedent has been set over the course of time.

Oftentimes when hearings are held, we try to get them as close to the backyard of the community that has the potential for permanent impact,” said Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller.

Heimuller noted that since he has been in office, there have been several instances where public hearings were moved to other venues or

times.

“When we know it’s going to be something that impacts people’s lives and property, and perhaps their pocketbooks, we do whatever we can to reach out to the community,” Heimuller added.

With a substantial amount of written testimony already received, the county commissioners are still working out the details of the public hearing. Heimuller said it could very well be that the public record will be held open for a specified amount of time following the hearing to allow everyone a chance to be heard.

The public hearing will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 18, at Clatskanie High School, 471 Bel Air Drive, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

notified of his death by a chaplain from the Cowlitz County Chaplaincy.

Initial reports are that Schlumpberger became entangled in the anchor line and was unable to free himself, causing the accidental drowning. The Cowlitz County Coroner’s Office is assisting with the investigation.

Schlumpberger, a local business owner, leaves behind a wife and two children.

An account has been set up at Wauna Federal Credit Union for donations to the family.

Anyone wanting to make a donation to the Schlumpberger Family Fund can make a deposit

directly to the account, transfer funds from any other credit union, or mail to Wauna Federal Credit to the attention of the account name.

Mark Nelson expressed great appreciation for the combined efforts from all the neighboring agencies in this search and to helping bring resolution to the Schlumpberger family.

Community Action Team receives Children’s Trust grant ST. HELENS — Community Action Team’s Child and Family Development Programs received a two-year grant from the Children’s Trust Fund of Oregon for Northwest Parenting Education programs to expand prevention programs to parents of

older school children and in communities underserved by parenting education.

The grant allows continued programming at Columbia Community Mental Health’s Pathways program and will enable CAT to serve the community of Vernonia through a

partnership with Vernonia Prevention Coalition and Columbia Community Mental Health prevention staff.

For nearly 30 years the Children’s Trust Fund of Oregon has worked on behalf of parents struggling to give their children the best

start in life. As Oregon’s only statewide organization focused exclusively on child abuse prevention, the Children’s Trust Fund invests in best practice child abuse prevention programs, while also investing in public awareness campaigns, research and sound

public policy to create lasting change for Oregon’s children.

Since the inception of the Children’s Trust Fund grant program, $10 million has been invested in prevention programs across the state. With the support of thousands of Oregonians,

the Children’s Trust Fund made it possible for 10,000 children and families in 2012 to receive the parenting classes, therapeutic daycare services and home visits needed to prevent child abuse and neglect.

City encourages public comments on drop box rate increase ST. HELENS — Waste Management Inc., which provides garbage drop box service inside the city limits of St. Helens is looking to pass through recent rate increases to its customers.

The company has provided 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-yard drop box services to the area for years. The containers are used to dispose of waste, typically in relation to construction and remodeling.

The city’s agreement with Waste Management

provides rate adjustments subject to one-half the Consumer Price Index (CPI) annual change.

This year’s CPI increased 1.643 percent.

Per its agreement, Waste Management is allowed 50 percent of this annual change, which results in a 0.822 percent increase.

The City of St. Helens is providing the public an opportunity to comment on these fee increases on Sept. 18 at 1 p.m., during the city council work ses-

sion, in council chambers at 265 Strand St. For questions or to submit a written comment, contact City Recorder Kathy Payne by email at kathyp@ci.st-helens.or.us or call 503-366-8217.

Below are the proposed rates for drop box services: Pick-up, delivery and disposal Box Size Fees 40 yards $139.71 30 yards $139.71

20 yards $132.72 10 yards $126.40 Compacted pick-up, delivery and disposal Box Size Fees 30 yards $266.11 plus 5 percent franchise fee and $82.75 disposal fee per ton.

Miscellaneous Fees: Rental per day – all sizes $1.68 Disposal fee per ton $82.75 Also, a 5 percent franchise fee is added to the total monthly charges.

U.S. Bank awards $1,500 grant to SAFE The U.S. Bank Foundation awarded SAFE of Columbia County with a $1,500 check for general operating support in August.

This award enables SAFE to continue its mission to empower community members to live safe, healthy lives free from abuse.

SAFE stands for Support, Advocacy, Freedom and Empowerment. The agency meets the needs of those affected by domestic and sexual violence by providing 24-hour crisis response, ongoing advocacy, counseling and safety planning for survivors as well as prevention education throughout the community.

SAFE recently changed its name from Columbia County Women’s Resource Center and has been serving Columbia County since 1979.

SAFE relies heavily on the support of donations from community partners like U.S. Bank Foundation as well as individual local donors and volunteers.

New volunteer advocate training will begin Sept. 24.

This 40-hour training meets statewide requirements for anyone in direct service advocacy for survivors of domestic and sexual

Scarecrows return to St. Helens Oct. 1 as the Spirit of Halloweentown festivities kick off.

Events being planned for Spirit of Halloweentown

Plans for this year’s Spirit of Halloweentown celebration are underway at various organizations. Events kick off on Oct. 1 with the pumpkin lighting celebration in the historic downtown district of St. Helens and the start of the annual scarecrow contest at business throughout town.

This year also features a paranormal convention slated for Oct. 18 and events all day Oct. 26, including the Little Spooks Parade and a kids costume contest.

Letters Wake up As a resident near the police department, fire department and school, I have to agree with Chief Moss that we don’t need a place that sells medical marijuana.

The St. Helens Planning Commission needs to use common sense and see what this business will do to Columbia County. We already have enough problems with drug use and this will only increase the problem.

So, planning commission, wake up and realize the mistake before its too late.

Dena Chesney, St. Helens No news is good news?

When talking with friends and neighbors it seems many believe that coal trains rolling through our county are an issue of the past. All is quiet.

However, beneath the relative silence lies the request by the Port of St. Helens to rezone 950+ acres from agricultural to industrial use. This land provides access to the Columbia River – and if rezoned would likely lead to development of terminals and docks to accommodate commodities, such as coal, transported by rail, which translates to milelong trains traveling through Columbia County, bisecting communities along the way.

The carrot for this endeavor is the promise for jobs. No doubt, residents of Columbia County are in desperate need of jobs. So let’s pay attention to what is being offered.

Realistically – how many jobs would be generated by these long trains moving through Columbia County – and at what economic, environmental, and health related cost? How many jobs would be offered to residents of Columbia County compared to how many personal lives would be negatively impacted, how many businesses (jobs) would be sacrificed?

Ignorance is bliss – or is it?

In this stressful, multitasking world, it is very tempting to just stay out of this discussion. However, we owe it to ourselves, and our community, to pay attention and act responsibly. A very important public hearing with our county commissioners will be at the high school in Clatskanie on Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m. Bring your questions and concerns to the table. Take the time to educate yourself and solidify your opinions based on facts.

Meredith Moore, Columbia City Zone change will reduce employment Mr. Fred Yauney’s letter (The Chronicle, Sept. 4) makes several unproven assertions in his opinion piece that need to be examined, for many of his arguments are the same arguments that the Port, railroad and other outsiders have used to try to ram a massive increase in rail traffic through Columbia County.

A5Opinion

Opinion

First and most importantly, there is absolutely no proof that a zone change at Port Westward will result in a net long-term increase in employment. After the temporary constructions jobs are gone, there will be some new employment at Port Westward but the negative impacts of unit train traffic cutting the cities of the Port District in half will outweigh those few jobs and may result in a net job loss. Mr. Yauney claims that Port Westward expansion will broaden the tax base. The reality is we do not know if expansion at Port Westward will result in a net long term property tax increase because unit train traffic and associated impacts will lower property values else ware and prevent other economic development.

There is also the massive unfunded transportation issues that heavy unit train traffic will create that could cost in excess of 120 million tax dollars.

Why has the Port not done the transportation, safety and economic impact studies that have been asked for by me and three of the four largest cities in the Port’s district?

Why are we still debating this? If the Port is right, and Mr. Yauney’s opinion is correct, then prove it.

If you cannot build a McDonald’s drive-thru without a detailed transportation study, why can the Port ignore the need for a countywide transportation study? The only answer I can imagine is the Port knows that research will prove the expansion of rail traffic at Port Westward is good only for the Port, real estate speculators in Clatskanie, including the Port’s president, and the railroad. I believe, along with an ever increasing percentage of the voters, as they become informed of the real deal, that increased rail traffic is bad for Columbia County citizens and businesses.

I own a small business and many of my customers own small businesses; it’s time we stop looking for quick fixes and come up with an information-based plan that will help Columbia County grow over the long term. Increased rail traffic through the Port’s backroom deals will help only a few but at everyone’s expense.

Regarding my campaign for Port Commissioner: It’s a known statistic that greater than 90 percent of the time, the incumbent wins. Despite knowing this, I fought the good fight because I felt I could help Columbia County grow through good business practices and transparency.

It looked like I was going to win thanks to the support of local businesses and residents, but when the railroad, coal company, and outsiders formed an illegal Pac and paid for a massive advertisement program, I knew the election was lost. We filed and won on our grievance with the State of Oregon, the State issued a fine

www.thechronicleonline.com

for violating election laws, but it was too late as the damage was done. But that’s OK- the issues have been brought forward and there is clear opposition to the bad business your elected Port officials continue to practice.

Do not let the outside forces and the Port win by taking your right to testify away from you. Take the long drive to Clatskanie on Sept.

18 at 6:30 p.m. and let the County Commissioners know you don’t want any more shady backroom deals. If you can’t make the drive, please mail testimony to the County Commissioners and ask for your letter to entered into the record.

Michael Clarke, Scappoose Get past the hype This is in response to Fred Yauney’s Chronicle letter last week defending the Port of St. Helen’s proposal to convert around 1,000 acres of farmland in the north part of the county to industrial and freight terminals for the export of U.S. oil, coal, and other resources away from Oregon and attacking those who oppose the rezoning as “anti-jobs” and “anti-development.” Fred makes a number of claims that don’t quite add up.

First he says that Luttrell won by a “landslide” over Clarke in the recent Port election. Not quite right. Luttrell got 3,847 votes and Clarke got 3,266 votes, hardly a “landslide.”

Second, he says that Luttrell was pro-jobs and pro-development while Clarke was “anti-jobs” and “antidevelopment.” Throughout the campaign Clarke made it clear he was in favor of sensible jobs and sensible economic development, but against doing dumb things under the guise of “economic development” that would hurt jobs and development in all the cities, from Scappoose to Rainier.

Third, Yauney claims the county has one of the highest unemployment rates in Oregon. Nope. The most recent Oregon Employment Department data shows the county rate is 8.2 percent, with 21 of Oregon’s 36 counties having higher rates and only 14 having lower rates. Moreover, it’s important to remember that unemployment is based on where you live, not where you work. So if someone got laid off from a tech company in Beaverton, but lives in Columbia County, the unemployment is counted here.

Finally, Yauney claims that doing what the Port wants will bring in more tax revenue for the county and local jurisdictions. Again, need to get past the hype. The Port generally leases its properties to businesses. But the Port is a government and doesn’t pay property taxes. Improvements to the property by businesses are theoretically taxable but

Speedbump

not for years if the property is in an Enterprise Zone. Moreover, taxes paid by businesses won’t go to local governments and schools if the property is in an urban renewal zone. And guess what, the Port has most of its property at Port Westward in urban renewal and enterprise zones. And, who will pay for all the roads and other improvements needed for infrastructure – all public dollars; want to guess whether once you net all this out who wins and who loses? Ask how much in property taxes did Cascade Grain pay to schools and local governments?

Mike Sheehan, Scappoose Equal opportunity needed Our county commissioners are holding a public hearing in Clatskanie, on land use applications that will result in more 110-car trains bisecting our town. The trains’ destination is Port Westward in Clatskanie, where their cargo would produce a handful of jobs.

Our commissioners obviously know that the Clatskanie supporters of this misguided proposal will turn out in force if they don’t have to travel to St. Helens where these things are normally heard. Opponents of their application – people in Scappoose, Warren, St. Helens and Rainier – must drive to Clatskanie to participate in the public hearing. The hearing is on Wednesday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m., making it impossible for anyone working in Portland to attend.

In the past, our commissioners have used a tactic to

by

Dave Cov-

silence those opponents who manage to get to the hearing. They let the people who want the land use change talk on and on and on. When these supporters finally wind down, the commissioners declare that it’s too late to hear any more testimony.

They continue the hearing to a future date, time and place unspecified. All the people who drove from South County are silenced.

We ask that the board of commissioners set time limits for both the proponents and opponents of this land use proposal. Perhaps an hour for each side? Be fair and impartial: let both sides be heard. End testimony by the supporters approximately half way through the evening and let the opponents speak during the second half.

Please give both sides the opportunity to speak, equally, at the hearing in Clatskanie.

Linda Cyders, Scappoose Syrian response What do President Thieu of South Vietnam, President Karzai of Afghanistan, and President Maliki of Iraq have in common? They all came to power with the assistance of the United States and that they have all been shown to have connections with corruption and human rights issues.

With the Arab spring, the U. S. has supported regime change in Libya and Egypt, and now Syria. An ambassador has been murdered; governments are in shambles and now President Obama and

his administration wants to aid the al Qaeda-assisted rebels to achieve power in Syria. What have our men and women in uniform been fighting and dying for since 9/11? Ninety percent of Syrian rebels consider themselves Islamic extremists and even fly the al Qaeda flag.

The economy in the U. S. is struggling and the federal reserve is still printing money backed by Chinese investments, and since China does not back U.S. involvement in Syria why should they continue supplying the U.S. with financial aid? Much of Europe depends on oil and natural gas from Russia, and since they do not support U.S. involvement, will they halt or limit supplying this energy? And to top things off, what about Iran and Shiite people of the Middle East region? Is it right for the United States to shove corrupt American capitalism and immorality down their throats?

2014 is an election year and the time has come to clean our own house, no red or blue states, or socialist and conservative politics. It is time for Americans to make a stand for something or fade into historical oblivion; like imposing a two-term limit on federal, state, county and city politicians. This is a democracy, of the people, by the people and for the people. Why is the general public content on being led around by professional politicians? Be a participant by attending a meeting, writing a letter to your representatives or paper, or maybe even protest.

Water in the morning: make your garden less inviting to slugs

BY Denise Ruttan OSU Extension

Stymied by slugs that can plod through your chard and cabbage, leaving a slimy trail of destruction?

Put away that salt shaker, says Robin Rosetta, an entomologist for the Oregon State University Extension Service. Table salt can build up in the soil over time and damage plants.

“I have always believed that the best way to control a pest is to make the environment where you’re trying to grow plants less advantageous to their happiness,” Rosetta said. “So try to figure out what makes them happy. You have to think like a slug.”

Invasive slugs such as the European red slug often make their homes in Oregon gardens, Rosetta said. Some slug species are partial to warm temperatures — others prefer it cool. All slugs thrive in moisture and low light, often hiding in places underneath objects such as clods of dirt.

Slugs leave evidence of their presence in that infamous trail of slime. They scrape the center of leaves with their rasping rows of teeth, creating irregularly shaped holes. They are fond of plants in the brassica family, such as kale and cabbage, and also feast on strawberries and melons.

Rosetta suggested the following methods to make your garden less hospitable to slugs. It is generally more

effective to combine an arsenal of strategies and try less-toxic approaches first, she advised.

• Water plants in the morning instead of the evening. Rosetta cites a study by Bernhard Speiser and Marcel Hochstrasser with the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture that showed slugs consumed a far greater percentage of the leaf area when plots of lettuce were watered in the evening than when they were watered in the morning.

• Design your garden to separate groups of plants that need more watering at a distance away from droughttolerant plants. This will limit the moist areas that slugs call home.

• Copper barriers can be used to deter snails and slugs when placed around garden boxes or plant containers.

The barriers should be at least 3-4 inches wide.

• As you plant young seedlings in August and September for your fall garden, use a hoe to break up the soil to expose any hidden slugs to the sun. Also keep your plants free of weeds, which provide dewy shelters that prevent slugs from drying out.

• Hand pick slugs about two hours after sunset.

“Handpicking is a viable method if you have the time and a small area,” Rosetta said.

• Make traps out of margarine containers halfway full of beer to drown slugs.

“You don’t have to use your expensive microbrews; any

Robin Rosetta

beer will work well,” Rosetta said. “They’re attracted to the fermenting yeastysugar mix in the malty beverage.” People can skip the beer and mix sugar and yeast together too. Instead of either of those options, you can make homemade board or corrugated cardboard traps that have wood panels with ridges that can be lifted slightly so that slugs and snails can hide. These are useful methods that are much less messy than beer.

• Iron phosphate bait is

less toxic to mammals than metaldehyde baits but still take care to apply it when pets are not around, Rosetta advised. When slugs eat sufficient bait, it damages their digestive system and they stop eating, eventually starving to death in three to six days.

• Metaldehyde is synthetic chemical bait that may be applied in fall to break the slug life cycle. Note that its pellets may affect some insects and it can be harmful to children and fatal to dogs

if ingested in large quantities. Make sure to read and follow the label for instructions on using both metaldehyde and iron phosphate baits.

• Some pesticides are available for homeowners, including boric acid, chelated iron and botanicallybased pesticides such as those containing cinnamon, garlic oil and clove oil.

These products act both as repellants and are directly toxic to slugs and snails.

They can be hard to find

in stores but can be found online in many instances, Rosetta said.

To learn more about slugs, see the OSU Extension guides “Growing Your Own” at http://bit.ly/OSU_ GrowingYourOwn, “Using Home Remedies to Control Garden Pests” at http://bit. ly/OSU_HomeRemedies and “El control de babosas” at http://bit.ly/OSU_Babosas.

Fred Meyer customers help out Columbia County 4-H SAFE offers classes and Washington put their spare change in coin boxes and Fred Meyer employees chose to combine their quarterly donations to Fred Meyer’s corporate foundation – The Fred Meyer Fund – with the coin box donations.

“It may not seem like much, but those small donations really add up,” said Melinda Merrill, public affairs director for Fred

Meyer Stores. “We’re grateful to our customers for donating their change and to our employees for donating their hard-earned money to the Fred Meyer Fund.”

Fred Meyer has had coin boxes at its check stands for more than 15 years. The money collected from the coin boxes is distributed through the company’s corporate foundation, the Fred Meyer Fund.

In 2012, the coin boxes raised more than $600,000 for non-profit organizations.

The money dropped in the coin boxes stays in the community where it is donated. Each quarter, the coin boxes are designated to a different giving area: Q1 – Youth development; Q2 – Military family support; Q3 – Cancer research and awareness; and Q4 – Hunger reduction.

Back to school safety: Pay extra attention when out on the road Back to school means more children walking and biking on the roads. The Oregon Department of Transportation is reminding drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists to pay extra attention when out on the roads.

DRIVERS Younger children often have limited experience with traffic and lack the skills to negotiate traffic safely. Motorists need to take special care while driving. Help children walk safely to school by following these important safety rules: Be aware of school zone area and residential areas beyond to marked zone.

Reduce speed in school zones, and extend this if there are lots of pedestrians.

Be ready to stop at all times. Children do not always notice oncoming traffic.

Always try to make eye contact with children waiting to cross the road.

Be patient and wait for children to complete their

crossing before proceeding.

Stop when directed to do so by a crossing guard.

Get ready to stop when a school bus flashes amber lights, and stop for a school bus flashing red lights.

Remember, school buses stop at all railway crossings.

PEDESTRIANS Walking children to school from an early age is the key to their future safety. Children who walk to school have the opportunity to develop road awareness as they begin to learn how to negotiate traffic.

They also begin to understand their responsibility when walking alone or with others.

For a child to walk safely to school, it is recommended that parents first walk with their child to find the safest route with: • Sidewalks or paths when possible, • Few street crossings and high-speed roads, • Safe neighborhood and road “feel.”

David Mayo, Texas State University (Scappoose)

This week’s column comes from Page Two of the Sept. 5, 1929 edition of the St. Helens Sentinel.

(Because of a lack of sports coverage in this issue, I have selected a couple of news briefs that were loosely related to sports or the outdoors, or that I just enjoyed.)

Duck Limit Fifteen Authorities of eleven western states are in agreement on the proposal to make a uniform bag limit of 5 for wild ducks, according to Harold Clifford, state game warden, who has returned from a con-

vention of game officials held in San Francisco. During the last session of the legislature the law was changed so as to make it illegal to kill more than 15 ducks a day or 20 during a week. Game officials are of the opinion that there should be a uniformity of duck protective laws in all states west of the Rocky mountains.

Oregon Is Eleventh Most Homes in this State Are Wired for Electricity Oregon ranks eleventh among the states of the union in the number of its homes

wired for electricity, with a percentage of 83. Michigan scores 84 per cent and Illinois 85. The percentage of the state of Washington is 78, while that of Idaho is 54.

A recent report of the statistical department of the National Electric Light association shows that out of the 28,596,000 homes in the United States, 19,057,000, or 66 per cent, are wired for electricity. This is an increase of 1,197,000 over the year 1927.

California and New York divide honors for first place, both being credited with more

than 100 per cent of the homes electrified. The record “over 100 percent” is due to either classification of meters or estimated population. New Hampshire is in second place with 99 per cent of the homes wired. New Jersey is in third place with 96 per cent; District of Columbia, fourth, 94 per cent; Rhode Island, Fifth, with 92 per cent; Massachusetts, sixth, 90 per cent; Utah, Seventh, 89 per cent; and Connecticut, eighth, 88 per cent. Mississippi occupies last place with only 15 per cent of the homes wired for electricity.

David Mayo, a 2011 Scappoose High School graduate, was named the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the first week of the 2013 NCAA football season.

Mayo, a junior linebacker at Texas State University, had two interceptions, a sack and a team-high six total tackles in a 22-15 win over the University of Southern Mississippi on Aug. 31.

Both of Mayo's interceptions came in the fourth quarter. The second one – with 5 seconds left in the game – sealed a Bobcat victory.

Mayo's sack came on a fourth-down play and dropped the Southern Miss QB for a 9-yard loss.

Mayo followed his week one performance by recording eight total tackles in a 28-3 win over Prairie View A&M. Mayo was the team’s second-leading tackler.

He made five solo tackles and assisted on three others.

Mayo and the Bobcats are off this Saturday before playing on the road against the Texas Tech Red Raiders at 6 p.m. on Sept. 21.

Mayo was named preseason third-team All-Sun Belt Conference.

Mayo was a second-team All-State linebacker for the Scappoose Indians as a senior during the 2010 season.

Scappoose 51, Estacada 6

Tribe is steady to start

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

Scappoose senior running back Carson Davison rushes for the first of his three touchdowns against Estacada on Sept. 6.

Indians explode for 51 points

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

SCAPPOOSE — Early on in the first home game of the 2013 season, sideline chatter revolved around a shutout. Shutting out the Estacada Rangers (0-2) was certainly within the realm of possibility on Sept. 6 for the Scappoose Indians (2-0), but it would be a tall order: The last time Scappoose kept its opponent off the scoreboard was during a 470 win over British Columbia’s

FOOTBALL

Clarence Fulton High School in 2010.

Scappoose didn’t end up with a shutout against Estacada, but that's about the only thing that didn’t go the Indians’ way in a 51-6 romp over the Rangers.

Scappoose took a 51-0 lead in the third quarter, which started the running clock in accordance with the OSAA’s 45-point mercy rule.

Estacada thwarted the shutout attempt in the fourth quarter. But by then, the game was well out of reach.

“Defensively we’re playing really well. I’m pleased with what I’m seeing on that side of the ball – the urgency to get the ball back and create turnovers,” said Scappoose coach Sean McNabb. “I feel like we’re doing a good job stopping the run. We’re way ahead of where we’ve been this early in the season with what we’re doing defensively.”

McNabb credited defensive coordinator Joe Nowlin for getting the defense focused on creating turnovers.

“We spend a lot of time trying to

get the ball back,” McNabb said.

When the Indians do have the ball, it doesn’t take them long to put it in the end zone. On the opening drive of the game, Scappoose marched 65 yards in 1:31 to take an 8-0 lead on a 1-yard run from sophomore Braden Clark.

The next scoring “drive” was just one play – a 28-yard touchdown pass from senior Taylor Loss to senior Justice Oman on the last play of the first quarter.

See INDIANS, Page A14

As is supposed to happen in the preseason, the Scappoose Indians (11) learned from their early mistakes and corrected them the next time out.

Scappoose struggled hitting the ball in a three-set loss to La Salle (21) on Sept. 3, but improved in that area in a sweep of Molalla (1-1) on Sept. 6.

The Indians then went 2-2 during a tournament at Cascade High School on Sept. 8.

In both weekday matches, the Indians did well both serving the ball and receiving the other team’s serves.

Against La Salle, Scappoose was 15-for-79 hitting – a 19-percent mark.

Meanwhile the Indians made 23 hitting errors.

“La Salle is a very talented team and we did not capitalize on opportunities late in game two and game three,” said Scappoose coach Mark Sprenger.’

La Salle won, 25-17, 25-22, 27-25.

The Indians’ hitting percentage climbed to 35 percent (27-for-78) against Molalla. Scappoose won its home opener 25-9, 25-15, 25-12.

Sprenger says there is still room to improve, as the Tribe committed 11 hitting errors.

“We improved our hitting from Tuesday night and we lowered our errors. I would still like to work on bringing the error percentage to under 10 percent,” Sprenger said.

Wilsonville 21, St. Helens 12

Lions bottle up Wildcats’ offense

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Save for a pair of big plays, the defense of the St. Helens Lions (1-1) was impenetrable on Sept. 6. St. Helens held the Wilsonville Wildcats (2-0) to seven first downs, including just one in the second half.

But Wildcat running back Derek Sunkle broke free for two long runs that propelled Wilsonville to a 2112 Northwest Oregon Conference victory.

“We were very sound defensively. We kinda made them get out of their comfort zone of running the ball. They were not very effective in their passing game. When they did pass, we covered them very well.

That allowed us to stay in the game,” said St. Helens coach Jared Phillips.

It was the Lions’ passing game that put St. Helens out in front early.

Senior quarterback Gage Bumgardner hit senior Chris Gray for a 5yard touchdown in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Sunkle got

loose for his two long runs. One set up a 2-yard touchdown from Colin Etcheberry, the other was a 55-yard scoring run. Sunkle finished the game with 189 yards on 20 carries.

Outside of Sunkle, Wilsonville mustered only 43 yards of offense.

“I’m very proud of the way we played on defense. We had two very tough matchups for them that we

could put some defensive ends on their two tight ends. We just did a good job controlling the line of scrimmage with the front four and had everybody else that could rally and make tackles,” Phillips said.

The SHHS coach was particularly pleased with the third quarter.

St. Helens held Wilsonville without a first down in the period. More impressively, Wilsonville ended the quarter with minus-two yards in the third.

“I felt like that was one of the best quarters of football that we have played,” Phillips said.

The Lions came close to tying the game in the third on an 11-yard touchdown run from senior running back Brennan Norton. That made it 14-12, but the Lions could not convert the two-point try.

The score remained the same until the final minute of the game.

With 39 seconds left to play and no timeouts remaining, the Lions took over the ball on their own 30-yard line.

CROSS COUNTRY

Scappoose’s strength is tested on Tillamook’s terrain

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

TILLAMOOK — Mud pits, creek crossings and steep hills — the Ultimook Challenge is no ordinary high school cross country race.

The terrain made for far slower times than races on traditional grass and trail courses.

“A really challenging course, one that truly favors stronger runners over the track type of cross country runner,” said Scappoose coach David Harley.

If that’s the case, the Indians have a handful of brute

runners on their squad.

While Scappoose did not enter a team into either varsity race, the Indians won the girls JV competition – both individually and as a team – and Tribe runners took second place in the girls 1A-4A varsity competition and third place in the boys 1A-4A varsity race.

Senior Charlie Davidson was second behind Molalla’s Emily Bever in the girls competition. Junior Dan Carrier finished third behind Tillamook senior Hector Rojo and Astoria senior Nicholas Long.

Junior Rachel Bode led the Tribe to a team win in the JV competition. She beat out Mo-

lalla senior Kayla Watkins by .51 seconds for first place.

“Very impressed with a lot of runners and efforts. Especially the JV girls (some who will soon be varsity, obviously) and Rachel Bode, Dan and Charlie had strong races also,” Harley said.

Harley entered only a few experienced runners into the varsity races. Junior Stephen Gift was 39th out of 172 boys.

Junior Jacob Harley was 57th.

Senior Lindsey Marquardt was 47th out of 143 girls.

Rather than try for team points in the varsity races, Harley wanted to give the newcomers the opportunity to run together as a team in their

first 5K outing.

“I thought it would accomplish a couple of things: Give them a chance to see where they are relative to one another, give them some confidence, have a common experience in their first race,” he said.

He was very encouraged by the girls’ performance especially.

“The girls were great and showed a lot of promise,” Harley said.

Freshman Emily Marquardt was fifth in the JV race. Senior Lacey Updike, Photo courtesy of the Ultimook Race sophomore Caley Ricker and Scappoose runners Jenny Melgar, left, and Christina Broadbent, See SHS, Page A13 on Sept. 7.

SIMON FITNESS TIPS

SAYS:

Have you noticed how dark it’s getting recently? It seems like over the past few weeks the evenings are getting darker sooner, and we’re running out of daylight earlier and earlier each week.

Simon Date As light becomes a factor, as well as the weather deteriorating, those of you that are runners – either casually or hardcore – will have to adjust your workout routines slightly. So, do you move your workouts indoors now and get a work-

out in the gym instead of pounding the pavement? or do you simply get yourself a headlamp, some rain gear and suck it up and get out there? Here are some factors to consider:

1. Calories burned To lose weight, in a nutshell, you must burn more calories than you take in. According to studies at Harvard University, 30 minutes of vigorous weightlifting burns around 210 calories, depending on your weight. In comparison, 30 minutes of running at 5 miles an hour (which is a 12-minute per mile pace) burns around 300 calories. Advantage: running!

YOUTH FOOTBALL

Big crowd shows for opening day ST. HELENS — With about 12 hours worth of games and plenty of other activities going on throughout the day Sept. 7, the St. Helens Youth Football League was busy during its opening day bash at St. Helens High School.

Overall, St. Helens ended up winless during the course of the six games, but there were several highlights on the field as well as off.

Coach James Weaver said his third- and fourth-grade team worked hard the whole game during a 9 a.m. loss to Sherwood. Weaver’s squad plays Newberg on Sept. 14.

At 11, the fifth- and sixthgrade black team lost to Tigard. Mason Smith ran the ball well and used some great blocks from receiver Elijah Powell. This team plays Scappoose in Scappoose at 10 a.m. on Sept. 14.

The 5/6 gold team lost to Wilsonville despite a 70-yard interception return for a touchdown from Jared Hora.

Justin Botana’s fumble recovery set up the team’s other score. St. Helens plays

at Sherwood at 9 a.m. on Sept. 14.

The 5/6 Lions lost to Sherwood at 3 p.m. Coach Joe Saalfeld said quarterback Canon Beisley did a good job and made a great read to score a touchdown. Alden Finch had a 40-yard touchdown run called back by penalty.

Defensively, Saalfeld said Garrett Cook, Caden Willaby and Kyle Gunderson played well. The Lions are at home against Tigard Sept. 14 at 1 p.m.

The JV black team scored on a 58-yard pass from Ryan Hastings to Kruze Katzenmeyer in a loss to Sandy. The offensive line did not allow a sack the whole game and the defensive line shut down Sandy’s interior runs. St. Helens is at Barlow on Sept. 14.

Coach James McCarty said Ethan Wallace played great on the line and Tristan Miller had a great overall game in the varsity team’s loss to Canby. The Lions host Barlow at 3 p.m. on Sept. 14.

WORK OUT AT THE GYM OR RUN?

2. Metabolism Running definitely burns more calories than weightlifting does, but weightlifting has a bigger impact on your metabolism.

Your metabolism (or metabolic rate) is the rate at which your body burns calories. The higher that rate is, the more fat you will burn in a shorter amount of time.

Strength training puts a lot more stress on your body than running does, and as a result takes longer to recover as your body is working a lot harder to do so. Ever wonder why you can be so sore after a boot camp, versus after a run for the same amount of time? All throughout the recovery time your body is

burning fat. But with a run, your heart rate slows and you’re not burning anymore.

3. Body parts worked When you run, you are primarily working your lower body. Yes, there are obviously muscles being worked above your waist, too, but for the most part it is a lower body stressor in terms of the body parts that you are working. With weight training, however, you can easily train your entire body and, thus, make the most out of the same amount of time but get a much more ‘complete’ workout.

4. Ratio Use both cardio AND

strength training to get the best workout possible. If you can work out four or five days a week, then simply go ahead and divide your workout up based on your preference. If you’re looking to get a little stronger, then perhaps you do three days in the weight room, and two with running. If it’s purely cardio you’re looking to improve, well, get your running gear on three or four times a week, and hit the iron once or twice. It truly is an individual decision.

Your workout is exactly that‌ your workout! Ultimately you need to be comfortable and capable of achieving the goals you

want to achieve. That said, sometimes it is easy to forget the benefits of both disciplines and fall into one category or the other. Give them both a try! If you need a customized workout plan, or want to see which one would be more beneficial to you specifically, then stop on by our studio in Scappoose, and we can help get you started on the right pathway!

Senior Taylor Walden was seventh in the boys’ JV race for the Tribe’s top showing.

Despite sloshing through mud and rivers, the runners only offered complaints regarding one aspect of the course. “The ‘Hill’ – a long, doublecrested one about two miles into the race. Tough,� Harley said.

In addition to running the Sept. 7 race, the Indians used the trip as a team-bonding experience by getting a house in Netarts Friday night.

The Indians have two weeks off before their next competition. Scappoose will go to the 56-team Northwest Cross Country Classic at Lane Community College on Sept. 21.

At the tournament, Scappoose started with back-toback victories. The Tribe beat the North Marion Huskies 25-19, 25-21 (0-1).

SCAPPOOSE — Just over six minutes into the 2013 season, Scappoose High School junior forward Asa Flanagan put his team up 1-0 against the Roosevelt Roughriders (1-0). It was a good start for the team’s season-opener in front of a decent crowd at Chinook Field.

Then the Roughriders answered less than two minutes later and added three more goals in the first half for a 4-1 lead at halftime. Roosevelt went on to beat the Indians (01), 5-1. “We were off to a great start, but after we went up a goal I think we let up and acted like we had the game won, despite still having a large portion of the game to play,� said Scappoose coach Scott Stanton.

Stanton said RHS was much better this season. “I would be surprised if we meet anyone in league play as competitive as them,� Stanton said.

Flanagan was the Tribe’s biggest threat most of the game. Late in the game, he had to come off with a cramp. That was one of a handful of set-

backs for the Indians. Stanton said three starters sat the first half because they had missed practice time.

The bigger problem the coach saw, however, was the Tribe getting too far forward.

At times Scappoose was stuck with six players inside Roosevelt’s 18-yard box. “This would leave about 35 yards of open real estate between the top of their 18 and our defensive line, who were sitting in around the middle of the field. Then, as soon as Roosevelt won possession, they’d have all that open space to transition out of and run at our defense when we should have had a couple guys in there to break up their transition and delay their attack forward so we could get some numbers back behind the ball to help defend,� Stanton said.

Keeping depth in the attack and slowing opponents’ transition will be the Indians’ focus during the next week of practice.

Scappoose’s next match is at 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 12 against Gladstone (0-1). – Kyle Boggs

In between those two scores, Scappoose turned the ball over twice in the red zone. Without those miscues, the Tribe could have easily been up four scores entering the second period. “We responded well to that. It happened, you talk about it, you learn from it. I feel offensively we’re doing things well,� McNabb said.

That might have been an understatement. Loss was nearly flawless, throwing only four incomplete passes all game. He finished 18-for-22 (.818) for 271 yards and two touchdowns.

WHO’S NEXT? RAINIER COLUMBIANS

The head coaches at Scappoose and Rainier got to know each other fairly well over the summer, when they teamed up to coach the West Team at the East-West Shrine Game. That could be more beneficial for Rainier coach Mike King, as the West squad ran Scappoose’s offense. With the two teams having played one another a season ago, SHS coach Sean McNabb isn’t too concerned about that though. “It’s one of those things where you know what’s coming, but you still gotta stop it,� McNabb said.

McNabb expects to see a bit of a different attack coming from the Columbians this year than in the recent past. “They’re trying to get away from that diesel offense a little bit,� McNabb said, referring to Rainier’s straight-ahead, power rushing attack. “They’re doing some more stuff with single-back, four receivers.�

That said, McNabb acknowledged King will still line up and run the ball up the middle at times. “They’re tough kids, physical, and they fly around. They gave us some trouble last year,� McNabb said.

This year’s Indian team will need to watch out for 6-1, 170-pound receiver Jordan Brittain. “He’s their go-to guy. They like to single him up, throw the ball to him. And they’ll put him in the backfield in the diesel formation, direct snap to him. He’s the guy that makes everything happen.

He’s the guy we gotta stop,� McNabb said.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 13 at Scappoose High School.

Last meeting: Sept. 14, 2012. Scappoose 40, Rainier 22.

we’re running the ball well, something we still need to improve on. I thought we were pretty explosive offensively.�

Davison also caught three passes for 48 yards.

Loss had the Tribe’s other touchdown when he carried the ball in from six yards out 20 seconds into the second half.

Next up for the Indians is the 3A Rainier Columbians (1-1). They will kick off at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13 in Scappoose.

CROSS COUNTRY

BOYS SOCCER

Seniors lead the way for St. Helens Lions strike first but lose opener

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

HILLSBORO — Seniors Bryan Strang and Patience Marshall paced the boys and girls cross country teams for St. Helens High School in the first meet of the 2013 season.

Strang finished sixth individually at the 15th annual Bill Chapman Invitational on Sept. 6. Of the five runners to finish ahead of Strang, only one was a 5A runner. That other runner – senior Michael Francy – just so happens to be from Liberty High School, meaning the two will see each other a few more times this season.

Marshall was 28th out of 234 girls during her first race as a member of the SHHS cross country team. “Patience Marshall and Bryan Strang had very good races and have established themselves among the top runners in our league,� said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle.

While it was the seniors who led the way, a pair of freshman girls made their presence known in the first race. Josi Hanna was the second Lion to cross the finish line, finishing 53rd overall.

Genny Luttrell was the fourth Lion in, ending up 66th. Senior Cynthia Fenrich finished in between the two in 58th place. “The new girls were nervous but they raced well,� Tinkle said.

Tinkle said the biggest thing for the teams to focus on is running tighter together.

Marshall’s time of 21:34 left her crossing the finish line nearly three minutes ahead of No. 5 runner, senior Alyna Habel. “It would be good to have our top five within a minute of each other at the finish. It is something to work on,� Tinkle said.

He would like to see similar improvement for the boys.

Junior Casey Cooke was the second St. Helens runner in, finishing 31st overall. He crossed the line in 18:18, one minute and one second behind Strang. Seniors Tanner Boyle (40th, 18:38) and Tanner Matlock (46th, 18:50) were the Nos. 3 and 4 runners for St. Helens. “We ran well but have a lot of room to improve,� Tinkle said.

Both teams finished eighth overall. Twelve teams competed in the girls competition and there were eight in the boys varsity competition.

St. Helens competes at the NWOC District Preview Meet at 4 p.m. on Sept. 11 at Blue Lake Park in Gresham.

LEBANON — Crisp execution in the first half of the season opener helped the St. Helens Lions (0-1) take an early lead over the host Lebanon Warriors (3-0) on Sept. 7. St. Helens couldn’t, however, continue that pace for the whole 80 minutes and dropped a 2-1 decision.

Senior Andreas Rahbek became the first Lion to etch his name onto the scoring sheet for the 2013 season.

Fourteen minutes into the first half, Rahbek connected from just inside the 18-yard box to put his squad on top, 1-0. “We moved the ball well, by our ability to work in threes‌ in particular in the defensive and middle third of the field. Our transition into offense was very effective as well, and gave us many scoring opportunities during the first half,â€? said St. Helens YOUTH BASKETBALL

Senator Betsy Johnson, Z00068

Early on in the season, it looks like the St. Helens Lions volleyball team won’t be blown out of many contests this year. During a Northwest Oregon Conference jamboree at Liberty High School and a tournament at Hillsboro High School last week, the Lions’ wins came by large margins and none of the sets lost came by more than two points.

St. Helens went 3-1 against four league opponents. During the jamboree, teams played one set to 25 points. St. Helens beat Liberty 25-16, Rex Putnam 25-16 and Parkrose 25-17. The Lions’ loss was a 28-26 defeat to the Sandy Pioneers.

During the jamboree, junior Taylor Albertson had 12 kills. Senior Madison Kaplan was 100 percent on her serves. Senior Kylie Reinholdt passed it to the intended zone 79 percent of the time.

At Hillsboro, the Lions

coach Oscar Monteblanco.

Lebanon tied the match on a penalty kick early in the second half. Then with 18 minutes remaining in the match, the Warriors knocked in a shot from 20 yards out. “Finally, we got things going again with 10 minutes left, but we were unable to secure the second goal,�

Monteblanco said.

The coach said the defenders and midfielders did a good job throughout the game. He said the forwards must improve their runs as well as the outside shooting.

Across the board, Monteblanco said, the team needs to be in better shape. “Conditioning played a big factor at the end,� he said.

GIRLS SOCCER

St. Helens ready to move on from 4-1 loss in season opener ST. HELENS — Aloha High School gave the St. Helens Lions (0-1) girls soccer team trouble in its first game of the season. The Warriors (1-0-1) took a 4-1 win.

“I think we underestimated how good they were gonna be,” said St. Helens coach Simon Date. “They were great. We just spent the entire night chasing the ball.

It was terrible, it really was.”

St. Helens sophomore goalkeeper Athena Duggan did a great job holding Aloha to just two goals in the first half. Duggan made nine saves in the opening period.

She was aggressive again in the second half as well.

“Athena was probably one of our best players out there.

She’s done real well this summer,” Date said. “One of the things I love about her…

she’s constantly off her line, comeing out all the time, which is great. It’s really, really nice to see. It’s kinda weird to say a goalkeeper was our best player when we lost 4-1, but she was.”

Junior Sydney Nett had the Lions’ goal.

Date said that along with Duggan, Nett and sophomore Genesis Hansen both proplayed well for the Lions

against the Warriors.

“That’s a rough start for the season. But, you know, it happens. Gotta lose some,” Date said.

The Lions had nine days off before their next game.

St. Helens plays at The Dalles Wahtonka (1-0) at 4 p.m. on Sept. 12. TDWHS beat McLoughlin 2-0 in its season opener.

intercepted a pass at the St. Helens 40-yard-line and returned it for the game-winning score.

Norton finished with 91 yards on 18 carries to earn the team’s offensive player of the game award. Senior defensive end Jacob Zartman was the defensive player of the game.

Throughout the second half, the Lions had a few opportunities to take the lead.

Turning trips to the red zone into trips to the end zone, however, proved a challenge.

“We need to convert in the red zone. We need to be more efficient,” Phillips said.

“When we get the matchups we want, when we have an opportunity to make a play – especially a scoring play – we need to make those plays to win football games. We didn’t do that Friday night.”

One area the Lions were vastly improved from their season opener was in the penalty department. After being flagged 19 times against Cleveland, St. Helens was penalized just four times for 30 yards against Wilsonville.

An area Phillips said the team needs to continue to improve is in the passing game.

Bumgardner connected on 16-of-30 attempts (.533) for 129 yards. The percentage of completions isn’t where Phillips would like it to be just yet.

“We need to get better with those fundamentals and

WHO’S NEXT? LIBERTY FALCONS The St. Helens Lions expect to see a unique attack when the Liberty Falcons visit Doc Ackerson Stadium on Sept. 13. The Falcons run a shotgun flex-bone offense and a 3-3 stack defense.

Lion coach Jared Phillips said both of those are different from anything else his squad will see this season.

In the first two games of the season, Liberty has run the ball almost twice as often as it has passed.

Matthew Langbehn, a 5-10, 175-pound senior running back, leads the rushing attack.

“He runs downhill very well. They get him the ball in several different ways and also use him to block on the perimeter,” Phillips said.

Liberty’s other big weapon is 6-3, 205-pound junior receiver Byron Greenlee. Phillips said Liberty targets Greenlee with a lot of quick screens.

As long as the Lions’ defensive line can control the line of scrimmage and allow the linebackers freedom to roam sideline-to-sideline making tackles, Phillips is confident in his team’s ability to win.

“This is going to be a big stepping stone for us to get that first league win and move forward with some of our team goals. It should be exciting,” Phillips said.

Last meeting: Sept. 14, 2012. Liberty 20, St. Helens 14.

keep working it. I’d say one of our priorities in the passing game where we did get better from the week before was our timing. Some of our timing routes we cleaned up.

It wasn’t great in our passing game, but we were a lot better in terms of timing,” Phillips said.

While the coaching staff and players were clearly disappointed with the outcome, Phillips said the team can take some positive things away from the loss.

“Wilsonville was certainly no slouch. We feel like we should have won that game.

We’re gonna move forward and learn from it,” he said.
