St. Helens man to serve four years for burglary

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — Potential jurors and attorneys for both sides showed up at the Columbia County Courthouse for what was supposed to be the beginMichael Cooper ning of a trial of Michael Allyn Cooper.

Instead, Cooper entered a plea at the last minute, bringing the proceeding to an abrupt end.

Cooper, 45, of St. Helens, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to burglary I for the purpose of committing the crime of sex abuse.

“Burglary is always a trespass with the idea that you’re trespassing to commit a crime,” said Assistant District Attorney Jon Berg. Berg explained in this case, that crime was sex abuse.

Cooper was arrested on Jan. 1, 2012 for criminal trespass, sex abuse, probation violation and burglary. The other charges were dropped when Cooper entered the plea.

According to St. Helens Police Lt. Terry Moss, the incidents took place when Cooper entered an adult female's residence after stating that he was looking for a friend.

The victim immediately contacted authorities after the See ABUSE, Page A3

Credit union recall voted down

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — A recall effort to remove five of the seven board members at St. Helens Community Federal Credit Union has been voted down. According to SHCFCU President and CEO Brooke Van Vleet, voting to retain each of the five board members being challenged ranged between 70 to 75 percent in

favor. A breakdown of individual voting results was not provided.

That announcement came just two days after a Sept. 4 special meeting in the Scappoose High School auditorium allowed members to vote in person. The credit union also mailed out ballots to allow for absentee voting.

According to credit union spokesperson Diana Huff, a total of 1,432 votes were cast, representing about 10 percent of the credit

union’s 15,000 total members. Of the votes cast, 175 of those votes were cast by members attending the special meeting.

“The membership showed strong support of the board and voted against the recall initiative. In accordance with our bylaws, we gave a fair hearing to a small group of members who launched this petition. We are thankful that the majority chose to show appreciation for this dedicated group of volunteer

board members who were elected to serve the membership,” said Van Vleet. “The board and senior management team are looking forward to advancing the strategic priorities of the credit union and developing a clear roadmap for 2013 and beyond.”

The recall effort began earlier this year when 432 signatures were See RECALL, Page A3

Some not on board with bus changes

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

ST. HELENS — When the St. Helens School District announced during the last school year that it would be reconfiguring the district to create two K-6 schools and close the Columbia City school, along with hiring a new school bus provider, parents were likely aware there would be some changes with the start of school on Sept. 4 and 5.

For some, the scope and impact of those changes has created problems.

School Superintendent Mark Davalos sent a letter to parents outlining some of those issues and the district’s response.

“State transportation regulations and budgeted routes only allow for attendance boundary transportation, except where required by law,” said Davalos.

While the district recognizes that for some families, children have to attend school opposite of where their daycare provider is located, state transportation regulations and budget restrictions mean public funds cannot be used to drop students at private childcare businesses.

“This means before and after school bussing to and from private childcares will

not be provided outside of attendance boundary areas or where a route is not already established,” said Davalos.

This policy has been especially difficult for working

parents who aren’t able to meet the buses in person after school and for parents of younger children who worry about their child walking up to a mile in heavily trafficked areas.

Horse rescue leads to future solutions

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

WARREN — Crews from Columbia River Fire & Rescue are used to rescuing patients. What if that “patient” weighs over 1,000 pounds? The team’s creativity and brute strength were put to the test recently when a call came in about a horse that had become mired down in a boggy area.

Just after 6 p.m. on Sept.

6, CRF&R crews received a call for a large animal rescue at the Breslin Ranch at 34362 Millard Road in Warren.

Upon arrival, the crews found a 1,200-pound horse named “Woody” that had become mired down in a boggy ravine and was struggling to get out. Realizing that Woody was in peril and that time was a big factor in the horse’s survival, the firefighters immediately started working on a rope rescue plan to extricate the animal.

Cheryl Breslin, Woody’s owner, had placed the call to 9-1-1 but was worried about how firefighters would handle the situation, figuring that none of the crewmembers would know anything about horses.

Cheryl Breslin’s horse “Woody” is rescued from a boggy ravine after getting trapped in the mire on Sept. 6.

CRF&R Chief Jay Tappan said she soon changed her mind.

“Her thoughts soon changed as she observed the calm calculations and actions made by the crews as they immediately started the rescue process,” said Tappan.

Breslin had already put a halter on Woody while neighbor Bill Matthews talked to the horse in calm voice and high school equestrian instructor Cheryl Savage put a harness around the horse’s chest.

Fire crews subsequently attached ropes to the horse to pull it out before it succumbed to exertion.

Then came the tugging and pulling.

“If they hadn’t shown up when they did, Woody would have died,” said Breslin.

While Woody was being rescued, Breslin summoned help from local, large-animal veterinarian Dr. Lew Fowler, was also called to assist and monitor the horse’s physical condition following the ordeal.

“I took his vitals and realized his temperature had dropped,” said Fowler. “The gut sounds had stopped and he was in pretty fragile condition.”

Luckily for Woody, Fowler was able to reverse the lactic acid build-up in See HORSE, Page A3

The Chronicle asked parents what they thought of the new routes and redistricting via Facebook and received several responses.

Deputies searching for suspect who fled from Dibblee Point Beach Columbia County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for a subject who fled from them on Diblee Point Beach when the deputies came across an unrelated vehicle during a search and ended up arresting the occupants on drug and theft charges early morning on Sept. 10.

Raymond Grothen, 58, and Cameron Mathews, 52, were inside a vehicle on the beach as deputies and other officers were searching the area for Jake Koski, 36, who was wanted out of Columbia County for menacing and recklessly endangering another.

Koski evaded capture in the darkness, but Grothen and Mathews were found with methamphetamine and stolen goods in the vehicle.

Mathews was arrested for unlawful possession of methamphetamine, trespassing II, theft II by receiving, and also had a warrant from Vancouver Police.

Grothman was arrested for unlawful possession of methamphetamine, distribu-

tion of meth and trespassing II. “Law enforcement agencies patrolling in North County have been attempting to crack down on illegal activity occurring on the beach at Diblee Point,” said Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson. “Deputies were on the beach making proactive contacts after midnight Monday morning when they came across Mr. Koski, who had the warrant.

When Koski ran from us, we came across the two men with a quantity of Meth during our search for Koski.”

According to law enforcement, the men were unlawfully on the beach at that time of night and had evidence of stolen goods (clothing) inside, as well as a quantity of methamphetamine on each of their persons.

Deputies were assisted

by Oregon State Police and the Clatskanie Police Department in their search of the beach for unauthorized parties.

Koski remains at large.

Jail issues new mail policy in wake of judge’s ruling The Columbia County Jail has changed the way it handles inmate mail after a federal judge ruled the county jail unconstitutionally prohibited inmates from receiving any mail except postcards.

Prison Legal News, part of the Human Rights Defense Center based in Brattleboro, Vt., sued both the jail and the Columbia County Sheriff’s office over what it alleged was an unconstitutional mail policy.

Prison Legal News also publishes a magazine covering topics such as “prison conditions, excessive force, mail censorship, and jail litigation,” according to its website.

In March 2010, CCSO instituted a postcard only mail policy. Prison Legal News then claimed the jail returned or failed to deliver dozens of publications sent to inmates.

U.S. District Judge Michael Simon ruled in May that the sheriff violated the Constitution.

“The ... postcard-only mail policy drastically restricts an inmate's ability to communicate with the outside world,” wrote Simon in his ruling. “It

prevents an inmate's family from sending items such as photographs, children's report cards and drawings, and copies of bills, doctor reports, and spiritual and religious tracts.”

Simons also said the postcard-only policy prevented educational, community and religious organizations from sending materials and hindered communication between an inmate and his or her un-incarcerated family and friends.

Simon also found the defendants could not prove a rational link between the mail policy and reducing contraband.

“Defendants have failed to offer evidence or even an intuitive, common-sense reason why the postcard-only mail policy more effectively prevents the introduction of contraband than opening and

inspecting letters,” wrote Simon.

The new mail policy recently went into effect to address those concerns.

“Basically, we did away with postcard-only for personal mail, and all mail that can be delivered by the USPS is permissible, dependent on safety and security exceptions shown in the guide,” said Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson.

According to the jail policy, “Jail mail-handling procedures support both the inmates’ and the public’s need to communicate in writing, to carry out legal and official business, and maintain family and community ties.

Procedures also meet the jail’s need for efficient operations that preserve the good order, safety, and security of the facility, inmates, and staff.”

RECALL: credit union officials have declined to release detailed voting results From PAGE A1 collected in response to the firing of CEO Jeff Schwarz and the announcement during the June 26 annual meeting that a letter of intent had been signed to explore a merger between the St. Helens credit union and Wauna Federal Credit Union.

The petition was presented to the SHCFCU board on Aug. 7 and the signatures were then verified by independent auditing firm Moss Adams.

“We respect the right of members to voice their opinions through this process, but as the CEO, I do not support the recall effort,” said Van Vleet. “I believe this to be a baseless and impulsive recall that is only intended to be disruptive to the credit union.”

Those supporting the recall effort questioned Schwarz’s firing despite consistently strong financial performances each year and the hiring of new CEO Brooke Van Vleet, who many believe was brought on board to negotiate the Wauna merger. Recall supporters also questioned the board’s

announcement of the proposed merger and signing of a letter of intent just days after telling staff a merger was not in the works.

Board members have since said that if given the opportunity, they would have handled the timing of the announcement differently.

After taking the helm, Van Vleet advised the board to call off the proposed merger. Van Vleet said she recommended the board terminate the letter of intent to better focus on more immediate needs of credit union members.

“I’m very aware that events of the last few months have caused some of you to question recent decisions made by our board of directors,” said Van Vleet when the merger was called off.

But those behind the recall drive haven’t given up yet. According to the TakingBackOurCU.org website, the credit union’s bylaws does not allow the use of absentee ballots during special meetings and that this failure to comply with its own bylaws has drawn the attention of the National Credit Union Administration.

“The bylaws are in place

to govern such a petition process, and it is important that the entire membership have the opportunity to voice opinions and not just the vocal minority,” Van Vleet said. “At the same time, it is critical to present a balanced viewpoint and be consistent and clear in communications to the membership and staff."

According to statements made by legal counsel for SHCFCU at the Sept. 4 meeting, there was nothing in the bylaws stating voting had to be conducted either in person or by absentee ballot, nor was the use of absentee ballots prohibited.

“We researched and reviewed the credit union’s bylaws carefully before establishing the absentee ballot process. We are confident that absentee ballots were appropriate under the bylaws, as they offered our members two valid methods to participate. All votes counted equally and we are reporting the results as such,” said Van Vleet.

SHCFCU officials have declined to provide a detailed account of votes cast in person and votes cast by absentee ballot.

BUS: school board next meets Sept. 12 From PAGE A1 don't go into Mcbride territory.’ I was told that I would have to find my own transportation from the bus stop,” said parent Ashley Swift.

“Luckily our daycare owner is awesome and worked hard to get a stop near the daycare. A staff member has to walk a couple of blocks to meet the kids, but at least they are safe.”

Parents are not only upset by the changes, some were also unhappy by the short notice given to accommodate the changes.

“While I completely understand that being under new management and having so many changes is a lot to handle, for putting out so many new changes, not much notice was given,” said parent Marian Holcomb. “The school district was great in

helping get things sorted out, and eventually it was agreed that they would make a stop a couple blocks away (from which walking is not a huge deal). We felt like we were left in the dark until the first day of school, leaving a lot of parents stressed and worried.”

But the school district isn’t the only one taking some heat. Newly hired provider Durham Bus Company has also been called out for what some describe as a lack of response and communication.

“The bus barn was contacted by myself and multiple parents, many messages were left and no return calls were made,” added Holcomb.

For others, it’s the routes themselves that are the problem.

Tammy Sutherland Paulson’s daughter attends Lewis

and Clark, which gets out of school at 2:15 p.m. Because her daughter’s bus then goes to Yankton to wait until that school lets out at 3:10 p.m., her daughter has to wait on the bus for more than an hour.

“I am extremely upset that my daughter is on the bus for an hour and a half everyday. I have talked twice to [Durham]… why cater to one school?” Paulson asked.

“The school board hired this bus company, go to the meeting at let the board know your concerns,” said parent Greg Clark.

The St. Helens School District board next meets on Sept. 12, for a work session beginning at 6:30 p.m., in the district office boardroom, at 474 N. 16th St., in St. Helens.

The next regular board meeting in on Sept. 26.

ABUSE: Cooper will serve every day of his sentence From PAGE A1 abuse took place.

Cooper was arrested and lodged in the Columbia County Jail on a $13,000 bond.

Because of the nature of the charges, Berg said Cooper will have to serve the entire four years of the

sentence and will not be eligible for early release.

“That’s Denny Smith time, so he serves every day,” said Berg, referring to Oregon statute 137.635, which mandates that felons convicted of certain crimes must serve their entire sentence without a sentence reduction for earned time

credit. Offenders convicted of these crimes are not eligible for probation.

“Because he has a prior burglary I conviction, he’ll serve every day of that sentence,” said Berg.

Cooper was immediately transferred to a correction facility after entering his plea.

HORSE: CRFR is now planning ways to improve for next rescue From PAGE A1 the horse’s muscles and was able to prevent the horse from going into shock.

This was CRFR’s second horse rescue this year (although unfortunately the last horse succumbed shortly after rescue).

In a follow-up conversation with the fire department, Breslin decided on a course of action that will assist local responders with future horse rescues.

In a meeting between

Fowler, Breslin, Division Chief Youngberg, Tappan and fire board member Diane Dillard, the decision was made to secure some used fire hose and fabricate a readily available sling that will fit most horses.

“We need a criss-crossed sling, some ‘D’ rings and a ‘S’ hooks to create a device that will not injure the animal, keep it secure from jolting forward and be easy to loop around whether in or out of water,” said Fowler, who noted that the front part

of a horse accounts for 60 percent of its mass while the back accounts for 40 percent of its mass.

As a way of expressing her gratitude, Breslin will donate time, materials and labor to the project to provide rescuers with tools for future use.

“I owe a lot of thanks to the people who responded and I still can’t get the picture out of my mind when I saw Woody lying there with his head on fireman Wacker’s lap,” she said.

U SPEEDBUMP

LETTERS The right to vote With the inauguration of President Obama, the Democrats took control of the White House, the Senate and the U.S. Congress, thus putting the progressive liberal Socialists in control of the Democratic Party. Pres.

Obama, with backing of his progressive liberal base, pushed through the somewhat unconstitutional Obamacare health reform measure, which fused the ultra conservative base to form what is called the Tea Party, in which it took back control of Congress and control of the Republican Party during the 2010 election cycle.

For the past year and a half, the federal government has basically been non-operational with the progressive liberal left and ultra conservative right refusing to meet in the middle and work out the government’s problems. The country has no real budget to speak of and just keeps raising the debt ceiling to keep borrowing funds to stay operational.

It is now 60 days before the election. Some of the brightest political minds, Gen. Colin Powell, Secretary Condalesa Rice, and Secretary Hillary Clinton and Ambassador Susan Rice of the U.N. have declined to run for the presidency, and to make matters worse many of our senators and congressional representatives have either retired of decided not to run for reelection.

America has five major problems: taxation, immigration, foreign polices, fiscal re-

sponsibility and education.

Considering myself as a “Centrist Democrat,” I cannot support candidates or ballot measures in favor the progressive liberal Socialists’ far left agenda. I cannot support any politician that votes into law legislation like Obamacare without fully reading and debating its impact on our country.

What is America’s future?

Start a flat tax of 20 percent (10 percent federal, 5 percent state, 3 percent city, 2 percent county)? Put all citizens and business leaders who give jobs to undocumented workers in prison?

Stop all foreign aide (food, medical, financial, military)?

Pass a balanced budget amendment? Replace our current education system with charter and online schools?

I served 19 months and 8 days in Vietnam before I could legally vote and buy alcohol in my home state of Oregon. Oregon now has one of the easiest vote-by-mail systems in the entire nation and there is no excuse now for registered voters not to vote.

After the primary election in May the county election division reported that less than 40 percent of registered voters actually voted. I plead with all registered voters to read up on the Constitution, learn the issues, and vote while we still have the right.

Joseph Turner, Columbia City Winco needed I just moved here from Vancouver, Wash., where I

BY

DAVE COVERLY

had the “perk” of shopping at a Navy commissary for groceries.

After the loss of the ability to shop at a commissary, Winco Foods was the closest thing I found as far as affordability goes. When I moved to St. Helens, I was shocked by the lack of a Winco and the number of people that drive 40-plus miles to avoid the prices at Safeway, Walmart or Fred Meyer.

I initiated a change.org petition to document the demand for a Winco in Columbia County. I am sure it’s only a matter of time before a Winco is built in the area, but I am hoping to help speed the process along.

Here’s the link to my petition. I have friends I have served with in rural parts of the country who have had success with this sort of thing.

The petition can be found at http://www.change.org/petitions/winco-foods-build-astore-in-columbia-county.

Nicholas Moore, St. Helens It’s not broken As a recent transplant from New York, I was amazed at how inexpensive electric rates were compared to New York (approximately 1/3 the amount, due to their insanely high utility delivery rates).

This is attributed to the work of the CRPUD board, which has fought to keep rates low and affordable. One such member is Dick Simpson, who I understand is up for re-election and is being challenged for his seat. He

and other members of the board have worked tirelessly to bring electric rates affordable for the citizens of Columbia County, who, because of the economy, could little

afford ballooning utility rates.

To unseat him would be a grave injustice. I strongly recommend that he be reelected, allowing him to keep

fighting for affordable electric rates.

After all, why fix something that is not broken.

Melons are sellin’ in St. Helens

BY GREY HORTON Morgan’s Landing Farm

Everyone loves succulent, ripe melons; sweet orange flesh that goes so well with breakfast, as a snack, or as dessert.

They are a heat-loving crop that does best in arid climates, thus most of our melons are shipped from far away. Unfortunately, ripe melons don’t travel well, so they are picked somewhat under ripe to improve shipping ability. From this, everyone also knows the disappointment of a crisp and bland melon.

Melons (Cucumis melo) were domesticated in Eastern Africa, then spread to India and Pakistan, where they developed further. They now come in a wide variety, from honey-

dews to cantaloupes with many stops in between. What we call cantaloupes are really muskmelons – true cantaloupes have smooth skin, not netted.

We’ll stick to Grey Horton muskmelons for this column. Modern hybrids have almost completely replaced the wide variety of melons that used to be grown. Among the nearly lost types are the spicy flavored, green-fleshed “nutmeg” melons, which used to be very popular.

To find the best melons these days, either buy ripe melons grown nearby, or do the “diaper test” (sniff the stem end) on muskmelons from the grocery store that were shipped in from afar. It should smell nice and fruity, not like a cucumber (which is actually a cousin to the melon).

and thanks Sunshine Pizza for supporting this event.

The hottest days of summer may be behind us, but parents are reminded to never leave infants or young children unattended in a vehicle, even if you leave the windows partly open or the air conditioning on. You run the risk of losing a child to heatstroke because kids are more sensitive to rising temperatures than adults.

If you see a child alone in a hot vehicle, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. If the child is in distress due to heat, get him out as quickly as possible.

Cool the child rapidly by spraying him with cool water or with a garden hose. Do not use ice.

Remember: kids in hot cars are a deadly combination.

Don’t take the chance.

Out&About THE CHRONICLE

Remembering 9/11 A large flag flies over U.S. Highway 30 at the Scappoose Rural Fire District from sunrise to sunset on Sept. 11 in memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11. Flags at all government and public institutions were ordered to be lowered by Pres.

Barack Obama in recognition of Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.

Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber ordered all flags at public institutions throughout Oregon also be flown at half-staff on Sept. 11, in remembrance of the events of September 11, 2001.

“We pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the attacks on September 11, 2001 and honor the men and women who serve and protect our nation today,” said Kitzhaber. “We continue to face challenges as a state and as a nation, but today we are reminded of the shared values that give us strength, resolve, and determination.”

St. Helens grad returns with film preview survive in a place surrounded by individuals who have lost it all. Compassion, business and an overall understanding of how to cause awareness as a filmmaker are his only weapons and he relentlessly pursues his dream of finding a home in P.A.T.H., a homeless shelter in the heart of L.A. “I want the kids in the town to know that they too can accomplish their dreams and achieve success, coming from a small town,” said Miller.

“Sometimes growing up in a small town leads to troubling circumstances or the loss of hope. I believe St. Helens is a good town full of good people who want to help their community, like me.”

Currently, Miller is working on two documentaries that will educate others about different humanitarian aspects.

He is in the process of obtaining taxexempt 501 (C) 3 status.

Miller will hold a special screening of the film at the Columbia Theatre in Olde Towne St. Helens on Sept. 22 and Sept. 23. Tickets for the film can be purchased at the theater box office.

All proceeds will go to charitable sponsors and help to raise awareness about homelessness amongst veterans and abused children.

BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle

Former St. Helens High School grad Brandon Miller has returned to the area, bringing with him his new documentary titled, “Operation: Amnesty For All.” More information about the film can be found at youarehomeless.org.

The film mirrors Miller’s life in St. Helens and his efforts to become a filmmaker.

Miller said the film tracks what happens when a small town boy graduates from college with a bachelor’s degree in film production and enters what many would say is one of the most difficult industries on the planet. The protagonist soon realizes that accomplishing his life’s goal isn’t going to be as easy as he had once thought. A recession, an over-saturated market and a cold, hard world have forced this young actor to be homeless on the streets of Los Angeles.

He must survive, day by day and pursue his dream of helping the world with his gift of storytelling. He realizes that God has put him in this predicament to completely understand what it is like to have nothing and struggle to

Traffic safety begins with me The previous article dealt with several back to school issues. If each of us as drivers takes personal responsibility and begins to change our individual driving behavior, our roads and highways will be much safer for everyone.

In this article we will address the issue of driving distraction. Use of telecommunication devices in cars is a major distraction that increasingly is causing vehicular crashes.

Roughly 25 percent of all crashes involve some type of communications device used in a vehicle. Oregon does allow the use of a handsfree cell phone, but research is showing that even hands-free or Bluetooth technology can still be dangerous. A recent white paper from the Na-

tional Safety Council on distracted driving looked at the effects of mobile communication devices on the brain. This report can be found online at nsc.org/safety_road/Distracted_Driving/Pages/Co gnitiveDistraction.aspx. It is a real eye-opener.

The report even talks about the effect cognitive distraction has on our ability to track what is within our field of vision.

We’ve all seen people talking on their cell phones, drifting in and out of their traffic lane, slowing down considerably, or making entire lane change all while seeming oblivious to what’s happening around them.

Worse yet, many of us have done the same thing.

Let’s all change just that habit as a start to modifying our driving behavior. Take the pledge to drive cell free. That’s right, cell free.

Scappoose 26, Estacada 20

Indians get long-awaited redemption

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

ESTACADA — The last time the Scappoose Indians (1-1) stepped foot onto the football field at Estacada High School, they saw their 2010 season come to an end.

That feeling of disappointment still nags at SHS coach Sean McNabb. So when this year’s team came away with a 26-20 win over the Rangers (1-1) on Sept. 7, it was a bit of retribution for the seniors on the team who were there as sophomores two seasons ago.

“It’s nice to go to Estacada and get a win. Last time we went there was one of the most disappointing feelings. That was a tough one to get over. It’s still hard to get over that,” McNabb said. “It’s nice to go back there and get a win.”

This year’s team took control of the game right away. Junior quarterback Taylor Loss found senior receiver Kyle Kramer for a touchdown on the game’s first drive.

“We had a nice, long drive to start the game – 12, 13 plays – and finished it with a touchdown,” McNabb said.

Loss then hooked up with senior Paul Revis for a 12-0 lead in the second quarter.

“Taylor Loss did some good things. He made some plays, threw some nice balls,” McNabb said.

After a 3-yard run from Estacada’s Brandon Beck made it 12-7, the Indians wasted no time responding.

On Scappoose’s next snap Revis took a pitch on a reverse, darted toward the Scappoose sideline and was gone for a 74-yard touchdown.

FOOTBALL

Revis scored again in the third quarter, catching a slant over the middle then turning upfield for a 75-yard score. He finished the game with the three touchdowns, five catches for 100 yards and five carries for 78 yards.

“Paul was more of a decoy this week,” McNabb said. “He only touched the ball 10 times, but he scored on three of those.”

After Revis caught a twopoint conversion following his third touchdown to make it 26-7, Estacada fought its way back into the game.

“We blew a couple coverages, let them off the hook,” McNabb said. Despite the lapses in coverage in the secondary, McNabb said he was pleased with how the team defended Estacada’s double-wing rushing attack.

“Defensively we did a

Scappoose junior quarterback Taylor Loss completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 188 yards and three touchdowns during a Sept. 7 road game against the Estacada Rangers.

Wilsonville 64, St. Helens 21

Quick-hitting attack lifts Wildcats past the Lions

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

WILSONVILLE — The St. Helens Lions (1-1, 0-1) topped the Wilsonville Wildcats (1-1, 1-0) in first downs, 18-6, and time of possession, 25:46-22:14, on Sept. 7.

Those statistical advantages did not carry over to the scoreboard, where Wilsonville beat St. Helens, 64-21.

That left St. Helens coach John England comparing the Wildcats to the Oregon Ducks.

“Like I said [before the game], we gotta prevent explosion plays. It’s easy to say, but not so easy to do against kids like that. Like De’Anthony Thomas is for Oregon, those guys are for Wilsonville,” England said.

“Those guys” he was referring to were senior running backs Tanner Shipley, Ryan Walsh and Johnny Ragin. The trio combined for eight touchdowns against the Lions – all but one of which covered more than 40 yards.

“Our plan was to prevent getting those open alleys for them, but we couldn’t. We need to learn to play at that game speed. We don’t get that in practice, we didn’t get it against Cleveland. We need to learn fast,” England said.

The Lions executed their game plan nicely on the second drive of the game. St. Helens ate about five minutes off the game clock before junior quarterback Gage Bumgardner hit junior tight end Corey West for a 29-yard touchdown. That tied the game at 7-7 after Shipley had returned a punt for a touchdown on St. Helens’ first possession.

Scappoose freshman Eleanor Jones scored a hat trick in the first half of her first high school game on Sept. 6.

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle

St. Helens junior running back Brennan Norton picks up some tough yards against Wilsonville on Sept. 7.

Wilsonville responded by scoring on its first play from scrimmage for a 14-7 lead. That lead was 35-7 at halftime and 42-7 after the first play of the second half.

West was a dangerous target all night for St. Helens. He finished with five catches for 157 yards and

two touchdowns. His longest catch of the night came on a halfback pass from junior Tanner Long. The catchand-run went for 55 yards.

CROSS COUNTRY

SHS trudges its way to good finish

BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle

TILLAMOOK — On a very challenging course, only the reigning 6A state champions – with four of their runners returning – were able to top the Scappoose High School girls cross country team at the inaugural Ultimook 5K Invitational.

A treacherous course, including a river crossing and a mud pit, made for slow times and a challenge unlike any other the Indians will see this year. In the process of covering that course, the Scappoose girls – who won the 2011 4A state title – showed they’ll be challengers for the 2012 title as well.

“They are ready to defend their state title. A very solid effort for them and, while times were essentially unimportant, we saw some real determination and positive things, including the team performance,” said Scappoose coach David Harley.

The Indians were second to the South Eugene Axemen, who return four of their top runners from the 2011 6A state championship team.

Photo courtesy Ultimook Race

Scappoose senior Colby Wedgworth, No. 502, and sophomore Steven Gift, No. 499, make their way through the mud pit at the Ultimook Invitational.

The Indians had three of the four best times for runners at the 4A level.

Junior Charlie Davidson finished seventh overall, with senior Tia Carnahan behind her in eighth. Estacada’s Mariah Johnson slid into the 12th position, one spot ahead of Scappoose freshman Lucy Davidson, who was making her cross country debut.

“She did very well for her first race – got right in there and ran hard

and determined,” Harley said. “I think the purse physical challenge of not only the terrain, but the length of the race, were obviously new experiences for her. But those will undoubtedly get easier with more experience and more racing.”

Even the experienced Indian runners weren’t quite sure what to make See SHS, Page B2

Tribe opens new field with a win SCAPPOOSE — Outside of the clock operator, the rest of the Scappoose Indians (1-0) soccer contingent looked mighty comfortable at brand new Chinook Field on Sept.

6.

Before the game clock ticked down from 40:00, Indian senior Molly Orr had taken a pass from freshman Natalie Muth and put it into the back of the net for a 1-0 lead during the first game played on the new soccer pitch.

Before five minutes had passed the Indians added three more goals, and they were ahead 7-0 at halftime.

They went on to beat the Cascade Cougars (0-1-1), 10-1.

“First game ever here, it’s good to get a goal within a couple minutes, up seven at half,” said Scappoose head coach Chris Dorough.

The Indians had yet to even practice on the field, let alone play a game. But one could hardly tell by watching them.

“Warm-ups were a little rough, a little scrambled. We worked out those kinks in about 40 minutes before the game,” Dorough said. “(The grass was) a little thick, (there were) bigger spaces. We worked it out and were on fire.”

Scappoose took advantage of the wider field – about 70 yards wide instead of 64 – to get into open spaces and create passing angles.

That led to lots of scoring early on.

Senior Ariel Viera scored three straight goals in a 10-minute stretch of the first half. Freshman Eleanor Jones also had a hat trick in the first

40 minutes.

“That’s gotta be a first,” Dorough said about a hat trick in the first half of a player’s first high school game.

Viera, the school’s all-time leading scorer by far, scored one goal in her first game as a freshman.

Two of Jones’s three goals were headed in on crosses from junior Charlie Davidson.

Save for a couple Cougar runs, the ball stayed in front of Cascade’s goalkeeper for the majority of the game.

“Up front we looked dangerous all game long,” Dorough said.

Freshman Lucy Davidson and senior Cassidy Hoglund both scored in the second half to put the Tribe up 9-0 before the Cougars mustered a goal.

Viera answered 55 seconds later with her fourth goal, this one coming on an assist from Lucy Davidson. That came with 28:18 left in the match and Scappoose appeared content to play keep away the rest of the day.

Scappoose plays host to 2011 state champion Gladstone (1-0) at 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 13. Gladstone won its opener, 8-0, against Stayton (0-1).

Tomato and other updates No real rain yet so the threat of late blight as this is being written is non-existent, unless you are foolishly overhead watering your tomatoes at night.

But stay alert for any prolonged rainy period in the weather forecast.

It won’t completely stop the disease but should preserve most of your planting assuming

For those of you growing Indigo Rose, that dark purple tomato variety developed at OSU, you may have wondered when they will ripen and how you will know. I wondered that as well, so I called Dr. Myers, the breeder of Indigo Rose. He told me that when the green spot on the bottom of the fruit turns from a red to mahogany

red, it is ripe.

A few did ripen the other day in my garden and I ate them.

They are a bit unusual in flavor but not, from my perspective, at all bad.

Dr. Myers did acknowledge that they are slow to mature. I would say that is an understatement since some of these fruit have been set for two months. They are as healthy as can be with all the pigments that give them the deep purple color.

On Sept. 1, there were 1,864 salmonid boats and 133 Oregon bank anglers counted from Bonneville Dam downstream to Tongue Point, and 512 Oregon boats at Buoy 10. Anglers had the best success in the gorge, where boat anglers averaged 1.46 chinook and 0.08 coho per boat, and bank anglers aver-

aged 0.14 chinook and 0.08 steelhead. At Buoy 10, boat anglers averaged 1.36 chinook and 1.30 coho per boat. In the Portland to Longview area, boat anglers averaged 0.55 fall chinook and 0.02 coho per boat. In Troutdale, boat anglers averaged 0.15 chinook and 0.02 coho per boat. Bank anglers in the Portland to Longview area averaged 0.02 chinook and 0.02 steelhead per angler.

Portland to Longview Bank: Weekly checking showed one fall chinook and one unclipped steelhead released for 45 anglers.

Portland to Longview Boats: Weekend checking 165 fall chinook, nine jack chinook, one coho and six steelhead kept, plus four fall chinook, four jack chinook, four unclipped coho and one unclipped steelhead re-

leased for 306 boats (761 anglers).

On a cool morning several days ago, I went out very early into one part of the vegetable garden and saw bunches of paired off mating slugs. You can tell they are mating when they are wrapped together and a white translucent material about the size of a marble is between them.

It didn’t seem like a good idea to let this slug festival go on. A hoe was handy and they are now less randy (actually a lot less). But it is a reminder that most of the slug eggs are produced in the fall, so don’t give up on slug control.

On a more positive note, longtime readers may recall I have one of those black R2D2 composters that Metro has sold for a number of years.

They are OK for composting but they are superb as snake incubators. I always have a good crop of garter snakes that start their lives in that bin and then slither out into the real world. I love them and there never is a mouse in that house.

A few days ago, I saw a smallish garter snake with a slug five times the size of its head in its mouth. He (or she)

headed for cover with the slug. Bon appetite, I say.

We are getting lots of calls about and samples of the giant house spider, Tegenaria gigantea. This species can almost be the size of a small tarantula. They like homes but they are harmless.

For whatever reason, there seem to be lots of them and they seem to be larger sooner than in year’s past. Giant house spiders are of the same genus and similar in appearance (though generally much larger) to the hobo spider, which is found in much smaller amounts here.

If you have questions about which spider you have, bring in a sample and we will teach you how to tell the difference between hobo and not hobo.

I am still seeing lot of sunburn from those stretches of 90-plus degree weather we have had this summer. Broad leaf evergreen shrubs like Viburnum davidii and rhododendrons seem to have been most affected, especially those portions of the plants that got the direct rays of the sun in the late afternoon (the southwest corner of the plant).

The damage will disappear as the affected leaves drop off in a season or so.

St. Helens has a couple of grand trees. A huge black walnut has been preserved in a small park on Columbia Blvd west of Highway 30. A very impressive Giant Sequoia is on Milton Way. Take a look.

Sturgeon The following modifications are in effect for the mainstem Columbia River: From Buoy 10 to the Wauna power lines, retention of sturgeon is prohibited seven days per week until Dec. 31. Catch and release of sturgeon may continue during retention closures.

From Wauna Powerlines to Bonneville Dam, the retention of sturgeon is prohibited from Aug. 1 through Oct. 19. Catch and release of sturgeon may continue during retention closure. All sturgeon angling is prohibited between navigation marker 82 and Bonneville Dam until Aug. 31, to protect spawning sturgeon.

Oxygen and vegetable roots Gardeners sometimes forget how important light cultivation is to growing vegetables. Most Columbia County soils tend to seal up after initial tillage and planting unless they have had lots of organic matter added over the years. As soils seal, microbial populations shift and can change nutrient availability. In addition, roots need to be adequately supplied with oxygen to function effectively.

Old research on corn shows a significant increase in yield when it is field cultivated, even if there are no weeds present. Breaking up the crust after the plant is well established improves moisture movement upwards in the soil and allows air to filter into the root zone.

SHS: boys enjoy themselves on Tillamook’s rigorous terrain work hard, race hard and compete every time out. They really enjoyed themselves and of all the runners, probably enjoyed the course more than anyone,� Harley said. “They

have the attitude and the desire to get better and better, and as young as they are – they don’t seem intimidated by other older and more experienced teams in the least.�

of the unusual course, which was set up on a flower farm. “Most really liked the diversity and the craziness of the different parts, some were a little overwhelmed with the sheer physical challenge of it. It was easily the most difficult course any of them have ever run, and a very different course than they will see the remainder of the year,� Harley said.

The young Scappoose boys team did not fare as well in the standings, but did not back down from the challenging layout of the course. The Indians finished ninth out of 10 teams,

SHS beats Molalla Tribe drops opener The Scappoose Indians (10) beat the Molalla Indians (11) in their official season opener on Sept. 6. Scappoose topped Molalla in three sets, all three by scores of 25-15.

The Indians followed that by achieving their goal of reaching the gold bracket during a tournament at Cascade High School on Sept. 8.

Scappoose’s passing highlighted the effort against MHS. “Our passing was great tonight and ball control alone will win you a lot of games,” said Scappoose coach Mark Sprenger.

The Tribe was on target with 32 of its 37 pass attempts.

Sprenger said the team needed to improve its serving, where the Indians were 62-for74 (84 percent) with 17 aces.

“We would like to see our serving percentage go up. As a team, our goal is always 90 per-

INDIANS: gain 222 yards on the ground From PAGE B1 pretty good job of stopping the run at times,” he said.

The Rangers completed two scoring passes in thefourth quarter, the second a 4-yard pass with a little over two minutes to go, making it 26-20.

The Indians were able to recover an attempted onside kick, get a couple first downs and run out the clock.

The Tribe’s running game

PORTLAND — Sophomore Devin Timmons recorded the first goal of the season for the Scappoose Indians (0-1) during a Sept. 6 road match against the Roosevelt Roughriders (1-0).

The goal from Timmons was the only one Scappoose could come up with, however, in a 3-1 season-opening loss.

“We had some first game jitters at the start, boys looked a little nervous mixed with a lot of excitement to finally get to their first game after months of hard work and sweating through the summer,” said first-year head coach Scott Stanton.

After 15 minutes, Stanton said, the team settled down and started executing its game plan.

“They were able to com-

cent,” Sprenger said.

At the Cascade tournament, Scappoose split its first two matches in pool play. The Indians and the Cascade Cougars (1-0) split the first match, 1925, 25-22. In the second match, Scappoose split with Elmira (20), 15-25, 26-24.

The Indians beat Salem Academy (0-1) in the final round of pool play, 25-18, 2725, to finish in the top two teams in the pool and advance to the gold bracket – a goal the team set for itself before the tournament.

Scappoose ran into a tough Sisters squad in the first round and was eliminated, 25-15, 25-22.

Scappoose had two home matches on the schedule this week. Scappoose played Gladstone (0-1) on Sept. 11 and is home against Estacada (2-0) at 7 p.m. on Sept. 13.

was potent all night long, as Scappoose rushed for 222 yards. Junior Carson Davison led the way with 16 carries for 81 yards.

“We were able to run the ball effectively. We didn’t throw as much, but we had success,” McNabb said.

Loss finished the night 12-of-16 for 188 yards passing.

Scappoose will play at Rainier High School (1-1) at 7 p.m. on Sept. 14.

LIONS: run the ball effectively From PAGE B1 catches for 157 yards and those two touchdowns, but he blocked well, he competed real well. On defense he did some good things,” England said.

St. Helens finished with 440 yards of total offense. The Lions passed for 194 yards and rushed for another 246, led by 84 yards on 18 carries from junior Brennan Norton. Long added 72 yards on nine carries.

“Brennan Norton had tremendous improvement from week one running the ball. He ran hard, had some good carries,” England said.

Still, St. Helens couldn’t overcome the outstanding athleticism of Wilsonville. Despite the lopsided score, England was pleased with the leadership of his two returning seniors, Andrew Gray and Joey Beggio.

“When you get big play after big play like Wilsonville did to us, it’s a good opportunity for a team to get frustrated and point fingers. They showed some good leadership holding it together,” England said.

The coach thinks that leadership will lead to a good week

of practice as the Lions prepare for a Sept. 14 game on the road against the Liberty Falcons (0-2).

“It’s a great opportunity to get back on the winning track,” England said.

Liberty is coming off a 5734 loss to Churchill (2-0).

WHO’S NEXT? LIBERTY FALCONS The Liberty Falcons (0-2) are in a similar situation to the St. Helens Lions in that they have to replace a lot of seniors from last year.

“They’re inexperienced like us,” said St. Helens coach John England. “They’re trying to find themselves, kinda like we are.”

The Falcons run their offense out of the pistol formation and are primarily a running team. England doesn’t expect to see the same type of speed from the Falcons running the ball as the Lions did against the Wilsonville Wildcats.

England said Liberty will actively blitz out of its 4-4 defense.

The coach feels confident the Lions can leave with a win if they play up to their potential.

“I think it boils down to our execution. If we do that, we can be OK,” England said.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Sept. 14 at Liberty High School.

Liberty won last year, 28-7.

In the 24th minute, Timmons and sophomore Asa Flanagan connected for what turned out to be the team’s only goal.

Flanagan delivered a low cross near the face of the goal and Timmons was ready for it.

“Devin was sitting back post waiting for that exact ball to come in so he could drive it home. It looked ike a play straight from the Manchester City training ground,” Stanton said.

St. Helens opens with hot day on tough course HILLSBORO — The 2012 cross country kicked off on Sept. 7 for the St. Helens Lions at the Bill Chapman Invitational.

Team scores were not available from the event, but there were several individuals from St. Helens who had high-ranking finishes.

Junior Bryan Strang fin-

ished in eighth place overall for the boys with a time of 18:04.

The times were generally slow, as only three runners came in under 17:30 for the boys race. “(It was a) very tough course and a very hot day,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. Tinkle said a year

ago, SHHS standout Ryan Byrd ran a 16:37 on the same course while the rest of the varsity team was in the 18minute range.

Byrd is now running for Boise State University’s cross country team.

Two other Lions cracked the 20-minute barrier: senior Nathan Reed in 18:32 and

senior David Sumsion in 19:28.

Senior Megan Waite finished 29th to lead the Lion girls. Her time of 25:14 was nearly a minute faster than the time she clocked a season ago. Waite was one of three girls – along with juniors Taylor Steeves and Lauren Chambers – to drastically

improve their times on this course from the 2011 season.

“The girls actually ran faster this year,” Tinkle said.

St. Helens goes to Blue Lake Park near Gresham on Sept. 12 for the Northwest Oregon Conference District Preview Meet. It is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m.

kick-offs and returns and punting.

Very few injuries have hit the Scappoose squad, thus far, and Kennaday has his fingers crossed that no difficulties arise in this line.

Richard Casterline suffered a dislocated shoulder and will be out of action for a time. His was the only serious injury.

A senior transfer from Califronia, Chuck Wing, has been having blister problems, the coach said, but is improving and will be carrying a good share of the defensive tackle load. He weighs in at 203

pounds.

Bob Herzog, a junior who plays in the tackle spot, is the top man as far as weight goes on the squad. He is a 223 pounder. Ray Steinfeld, a 197 pound senior, also figures to play a prominant role as a tackle.

Bill Hudkins, a senior, and Mike Svoboda, a junior, will be sharing the quarter-backing duties for the most part this season. George Rimer, a 192 pound senior, will be fullback.

One of Kennaday’s top performers last season, Russ Lynde, a transfer from Grant

of Portland, will be playing in an end spot.

Little is known about Sandy’s club, other than they are always a top contender in the league. A new coach is at hte helm of the Pioneer squad this season, a Washington State graudate. The team reportedly is using a split wing T formation.

To combat this Scappoose has been practicing pass defense for their own backfield.

Game time for the Friday night opener, at Scappoose, will be 8 p.m.
