Columbia County part of booming craft distillery industry BY DON PATTERSON dpatterson@thechronicleonline.com
Gleaming stainless steel tanks line the inside of a rustic looking barn in Warren, the site of one of Columbia County’s craft distilleries. The barn is home to Northwest Distillery, one of 55 small distilleries across Oregon producing handcrafted spirits in small batches. Meghan Zonich and her husband, Corey, have operated the enterprise since 2005, producing a selection of flavored vodkas including their signature product, Liquid Vodka. While craft distilling is not precisely defined, most people think of it as manufacturing small quantities of spirits by a batch process. The resulting products, like craft beers, are identified by their distinct aroma and flavor. The craft distillery industry in Oregon is flourishing in the wake of changes to the law beginning in 2008. Since 2011, when Oregon further modernized its laws to allow more opportunity for small businesses, 19 new distilleries have opened. In Oregon, a state agency, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, owns all distilled spirits and controls the sale. The agency is best known for its, sometimes, aggressive enforcement of liquor control laws, so it might
come as a surprise that the OLCC is one of the biggest advocates for craft distillers. “Oregon’s alcohol industry employs a significant portion of our state’s workforce through people employed in wineries, breweries and distilleries, liquor stores, grocery and convenience stores, restaurants, bars and wholesale distributors.,” said OLCC Chair Rob Patridge. It is the OLCC’s position that has opened up the opportunity for small craft distillers and led to the boom. About 22 percent of products carried at the OLCC warehouse in southeast Portland are from Oregon companies and 12 percent of sales come from those products. OLCC ships product in small quantities, as little as one or two bottles at a time, to retail liquor stores, so small distillers can find shelf space next to the big national brands. A typical retail store in Oregon carries about 1,200 products, far more than bigger chain stores in other states. OLCC’s attitude is not entirely altruistic, however. The agency had sales of nearly $1 billion last biennium and returned $235 million to the state’s general fund. OLCC also paid $450,244 to Columbia County and $336,638 to the City of St. Helens from liquor sales during the period. Of that revenue, 95 percent is from taxes and profit on distilled spirits.
“ I don’t know if it’s going to hurt us, but it definitely won’t help us,” claims Ken McFarland who operates Ye Olde Grog Distillery in St.
Starting your own craft distillery Starting your own craft distillery in Oregon is a little different than starting a winery or brewery. Before you can make a drop of distillate, even for your own consumption, you must have the necessary permits. That means you must first apply for and receive both federal permits and an OLCC license before you can experiment with recipes and processes.
DON PATTERSON / The Chronicle Ken McFarland operates Ye Olde Grog, one of two local distilleries. Recent changes to Oregon law allow distilleries to operate a tasting room, promoting their beverages. Columbia County is on the ground floor of the craft distillery movement.
“It’s important to us to create an environment where small businesses thrive, “ said OLCC Interim Director Merle Lindsey. For all its success in the past few years, the industry faces an uncertain future. On Dec. 15, a trade group representing big grocery chains announced it wants to privatize the liquor busi-
ness and allow grocery and retail stores of more than 10,000 square feet to sell distilled spirits. The group filed paperwork necessary to start collecting signatures to put privatization plans on the ballot. Such a move would make competing for shelf space and product placement harder say small distillers.

government. The Federal Tax and Trade Bureau issues the permits. You can find more information at TTB.gov/spirits. OLCC recommends applying 90 or more days before you plan to begin operations.
1. Decide on the type of product you want to produce. OLCC limits a distillery to six products. Regulators will want to know where you intend to operate, what kind of security your operation will have, how much liquor you intend to produce and where and how do you intend to store and distribute it.
3. Apply for an OLCC distillery license. The license allows you to make liquor and store it on your premises. It also allows you to offer tasting on your premises, however, if you wish to sell your products to the tasters, you must also secure a retail store license in addition to your distiller’s license. The OLCC process can take from 90 to 120 days, however you do not have to have approval from TTB to start the state process. More information is available at oregon.gov/ OLCC
2. Apply for the appropriate federal permit for the type of distilling you intend to do. You must also receive approval for your label from the federal
4. Contact Columbia County and your local municipality about the appropriate business licenses and regulations on your operation.
Scappoose man dies in head-on collision
CORRECTION The Dec. 25 print issue of The Chronicle contains an obvious and regrettable error. A photo of Aaron Michael Chappell is misidentified. Mr. Chappell was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident earlier this year. The Chronicle, and I personally, would like to apologize to the family of Mr. Chappell for this error. None of us can fully comprehend the pain and sadness his family has endured these past months. Certainly those loved ones didn’t need the additional agony such a careless mistake has inflicted. Please accept our condolences, and my assurance that The Chronicle staff will redouble our efforts to keep another such error from happening in the future.
Helens. McFarland said he saw Washington sales drop after the implementation of Measure 1187, which legalized private distribution of liquor in that state.
SHARI PHEIL / The Chronicle Ringing in the New Year will bring area waterfowl hunters a new place to hunt. As of Jan. 1, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s newest acquisition – the 100-acre former duck hunting club Flight’s End on Sauvie Island – opens to hunting. See story, page A4
Washington County burglaries may have link to Scappoose thefts Washington County Sheriff’s deputies are searching for a prolific burglar that is believed to have broken into dozens of local small businesses, including some in the Scappoose area. On Dec. 26 at about 5:25 a.m., deputies responded to a business burglary alarm at 19530 SW Shaw Street at Clarke’s Discount Inc. in Aloha. There they found the front glass door of the business had been smashed allowing the suspect access to the building. These “smash and grab” type of crimes have significantly increased recently.
This same method has been used in dozens of burglaries, which began prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. Burglaries have occurred along the main business roadways from Scappoose to Hillsboro to Newberg. While the type of businesses and methods are very similar, investigators have not been able to conclusively connect them. At 5:43 a.m., deputies responded to another business burglary alarm at 5990 SW 185th Avenue, Suite F, at Indoor Hydroponics. The front glass door was again shattered and items inside
were in disarray. Deputies searched the area and found a fourth victim business at 5990 SW 185th Avenue, Suite D, at La Morenita. That business also had the front glass door shattered but because the glass remained in the doorframe, entry was not made. At 5:54 a.m., a sheriff’s deputy searching for additional victims found a large industrial garage door, at 19040 SW Shaw Street, smashed in by a vehicle, which allowed the suspect access to Factory Motor Parts, a wholesale auto parts distributor The cash
drawer area was ransacked. Video footage of the burglar crashing into the garage was captured by a security camera. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is concerned by the suspect’s behavior as it appears to be escalating, possibly displaying signs of desperation and frustration at the small amounts of cash stolen. Detectives are seeking the public’s help regarding this case. Anyone with any information, please call the Washington County Sheriff’s Office at (503) 846-2500.
County changing dog licensing program Dog owners in the county should expect some changes when it comes to licensing fees. Beginning Jan. 1, the fee will now be $15, up from $12, the first increase in the last eight years. The fee for dogs that have not been spayed or neutered will remain at $30,
while the license fee for senior citizens will be $5 per spayed or neutered dog and $15 per unfixed dog. One major change will be where dog licenses can be obtained. Pet owners will now only be able to get their dogs licensed through the County Clerk. Owners
can either go to the County Clerk’s desk at the Columbia County Courthouse, 230 Strand St., in St. Helens or downloaded an application from the county sheriff’s website and mail it to the clerk, along with proof of rabies vaccinations and the appropriate fees. The ap-
plication can be downloaded at co.columbia.or.us/sheriff/ images/CCSOanimalcontrol/ cc_doglicenseform.pdf. Pet owners living inside St. Helens city limits will still obtain licences from city hall. See DOG, Page A4
One person was killed and another injured after two cars collided in a head-on crash on Cornelius Pass Road. The accident occurred at approximately 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 24 between NW Kaiser Road and NW Skyline Boulevard. Preliminary reports from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office indicates a Honda Civic driven by Neil T. Schneider, 45, of Scappoose was traveling northwest on Cornelius Pass Road when the vehicle crossed over the center line and struck an oncoming Hyundai Sonata. Schneider was pronounced deceased at the scene. The female driver of the Hyundai Sonata, later identified as Janie Edwards, 42, of Hillsboro, was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. There were no passengers in either vehicle. According to the sheriff’s office, witnesses reported seeing the Honda Civic driving erratically as it traveled on Cornelius Pass Road just prior to the accident. The sheriff’s office said initial indications are alcohol may have been a contributing factor. The accident investigation is continuing and once completed will be forwarded to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office for review. No further information will be available until the investigation has been completed. The East County Vehicular Crimes Team has responded to conduct the accident investigation. The East County Vehicular Crimes Team consists of MCSO deputies, officers from the Gresham, Troutdale and Fairview Police departments along with the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. Cornelius Pass Road was closed for several hours between Kaiser Road and Skyline Boulevard while the investigation was being conducted, reopening around 8 p.m.

Clyde Ford Watts Clyde Ford Watts was born on Oct. 4, 1946, and passed away on Dec. 27, 2013. My father was born the only son to Costa and Alice Watts, brother to his two sisters Pam and Collice. Clyde Ford Watts He had a full and “colorful” life as a young man growing up in Longview, Wash. So full and colorful, that he also spent some “formative” time at a boys ranch in Texas. Upon his return from Texas as a fine young man, he met the love of his life, my mother, Sandra Marie Anderson. The two were married in December of 1967 and stood by each other’s side for the next 46 amazing years. The happy couple lived for a time in Portland but soon settled in Scappoose, Oregon to set roots and raise a family. Their loving union resulted in two children; my sister Jill Marie and I. As a young man he endeavored to become a paramedic in the state of Oregon. First, he worked for a small ambulance company in Portland, AA Ambulance. He
left that job in the late ‘70s to set-up and run the ambulance service in Columbia County at the St. Helens Hospital. Later he returned to AA Ambulance and eventually retired as their Operations Director. The time he spent as a paramedic was truly a point of pride for him. He was a pioneer in the industry and played small yet important roles in developing pre-hospital care in the State of Oregon into a system that is a model that other states still strive to achieve. In 1992 he suffered a heart attack. He fully recovered from it and had several years of health and happiness afterward. It did, however, necessitate some life changes. Chief among them was his retirement from the EMS industry. Not yet ready to hang up his spurs he went back to school to be trained and certified as a truck driver. He really did love driving them big ol’ trucks. Eventually, time was not on his side. A hip replacement and other ailments forced him to accept the retirement he so richly deserved. He spent his days frustrating himself on the golf course or anchored up at his favorite fishing holes with some of his best friends. His grandchildren were the light of his life. Alexandra Marie, Grace Elizabeth, Cameron Dean, Zoe Marie and Penelope Rose could always brighten his day and
never do anything wrong. As a family one of the greatest things we are thankful for is that he was able to meet his first great-grandson. Warren Grant was born in the autumn of this year. He is survived by his wife, Sandy, of Scappoose; daughter Jill (Jason), of Columbia City; and son Jerry (Sarah) of Longview, Wash; two sisters, Pamela (Doug) Boole of Pasco, Wash., and Collice Watts of Vancouver, Wash.; two nieces and one nephew. Memorial contributions are suggested to: Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch, P.O. Box 1890, Amarillo, TX 79174; www. CalFarley.org. A Funeral Mass will be said on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2014, at 11 a.m. at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church, 51555 S.W. Old Portland Road, in Scappoose. A reception will follow. Online condolences may be left for the family at columbiafh.com. Obituary penned by Clyde’s loving son, Jerome William Watts. Jim Svoboda Long-time Columbia Theatre owner Jim Svoboda, of St. Helens, passed away on Dec. 30, 2013. A Funeral Mass will be said at St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Scappoose on Jan. 6.

New waterfowl hunting site opens on Sauvie Island Waterfowl hunters will have a new area to hunt as of Jan. 1, when the 100acre former duck hunting club Flight’s End on Sauvie Island opens to hunting. ODFW acquired the property in September 2013 through the ODFW Willamette Wildlife Mitigation Program and it became part of the Sauvie Island Wildlife Area. The acquisition was funded by the Bonneville Power Administration as part of its agreement to settle federal wildlife habitat mitigation obligations in the Willamette Valley. Flight’s End will be managed through Sauvie Island’s Westside Hunt Area. Three
groups of hunters (maximum party size four) will be allowed in to hunt at one time. The area will be a “roam unit” with no designated shooting areas or blinds. Flight’s End is 1.5 miles from a parking area and accessible by foot, but the easiest access is by boat via the Gilbert River Boat Ramp and Crane Slough off the Multnomah Channel. Only those with a valid daily hunting permit may enter Flight’s End or other Westside hunting units until April 14. But wildlife viewers, hikers and others are welcome from April 16 through Sept. 30 every year. The Flight’s End property
also offers important conservation benefits for fish and wildlife, and a management and restoration planning is currently underway for the property. Partners in the restoration will include the Bonneville Power Administration, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, ODFW and others. The property is bordered by Multnomah Channel to the west, which is a priority habitat for restoration of Endangered Species Actlisted salmonid species like Chinook and Coho salmon, and steelhead. Crane Slough, bordering Flight’s End eastside, provides important habitat for birds including bald
eagles, great blue herons, great egrets and osprey. Oregon Conservation Strategy priority species including the Northern red-legged frog and willow flycatcher are also found on Flights End. “Flight’s End’s location allowed ODFW to easily incorporate the site into Sauvie Island Wildlife Area for efficient long-term management and conservation of fish and wildlife,” said Mark Nebeker, Wildlife Area manager.

DOGS: license fees to increase
Cigarette tax increase kicks in Jan. 1 If you were thinking about giving up smoking for your New Year’s resolution, you may have some extra motivation to do so. The Oregon Department of Revenue is reminding smokers that the tax on cigarettes will be going up by 13 cents on Jan. 1, 2014. Legislation enacted in the special legislative session this fall increases the state tax on a standard, 20-count
pack of cigarettes from $1.18 to $1.31. “Ordinarily, the consumer pays the tax as a part of the price when purchasing cigarettes from an Oregon retailer. Consumers must remember that they are responsible for filing and paying the tax on cigarettes purchased on-line or otherwise brought in from outside the state,” said Chris Wytoski, man-
ager of Oregon’s tobacco tax program. Oregon’s total tobacco tax revenue, from cigarettes and other tobacco products, is about $250 million per year. The revenue supports the Oregon Health Plan, the state General Fund, and the Tobacco Use Reduction Account. Portions of cigarette tax revenue are also specifically dedicated to cities, counties, and public transit and, with recent legislation, mental health programs. “We’ve been working with retailers and distributors to ensure the appropriate tax is paid on their inventory on Jan. 1,” Wytoski said. “Retailers who haven’t seen our information about the special one-time tax return they need to file should contact us right away.” Additional

In addition, there will be no change to St. Helens dog licensing fees. St. Helens is the only city in Columbia County with separate dog license requirements. Columbia County is no longer providing staffing at the Lomar Holshimer Animal Shelter at 2084 Oregon Street in St. Helens, home to Columbia Humane Society, which is why licenses will no longer be issued at that location although applications can be picked up there. The county currently contracts with the CHS to provide shelter services for lost and found dogs. Licenses issued after March 10 will be considered late and assessed a $25 late fee. By ordinance, all dogs residing in the State of Oregon are required to be vaccinated for rabies – a disease deadly to both humans and dogs. State law also requires dogs to be licensed in the county in which they reside. The license requirement applies to all dogs, whether or not the dog is an “inside” or “outside” dog. Fees collected from dog licens-
ing also helps provides for county services directly related to dog issues. In addition, licensing fees help provide for the sheltering of lost, abandoned and/or neglected animals. There is one other change coming in the new year that dog owners should be aware of. Anyone who fails to licenses their dogs will be subject to a citation that will be mailed to the owner. The fines for an unlicensed dog has been reduced to $75 (down from $250) although continued violations can result in fines being levied of up to $500 per dog. A late fee of $25 may also be assessed for anyone who fails to licenses their dog by the due date. Owners who vaccinate their dogs but failed to obtain a license will be sent a 30-day notice by the county clerk’s office advising them of the requirement to license their dogs. If the dog owner fails to obtain the license, a $75 citation will be issued and mailed out. For questions about how to obtain a dog license or the requirements, call the county clerk’s office at 503-3973796.

Law enforcement continues crackdown The festive holiday season is upon us and so is the time when the number of intoxicated drivers on the road increases. To crack down on impaired drivers, St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss is reminding residents of the ongoing plan for Columbia County law enforcement agencies to participate in a high visibility enforcement campaign. Over the New Year holiday, police officers from St. Helens, Vernonia, Rainier and Clatskanie, as well as deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office will be aggressively seeking out drunk drivers. “A fatal Christmas Eve accident not far from here is a reminder of how important these operations are,” said Moss. “Keeping intoxicated drivers off the road and saving lives is what we are trying to do.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as many as 10,000 Americans die each year in alcohol-related crash-
es. In an effort to reduce these numbers, Columbia County law enforcement agencies offer these simple, but important tips: • Plan ahead – If you are planning to drink, make arrangements first. Volunteer to be a designated driver, designate a sober driver or arrange for a taxi to pick you up at a set time. • Be responsible – If you are hosting a party, have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages on hand and help your guests be responsible, too. Don’t let someone who has been drinking get behind the wheel. • Walking or bicycling after dark? Wear bright clothes to help you stand out. • Buckle up – every trip, every time. • Drive defensively at all times. Intoxicated drivers are often arrested because of a tip from a fellow motorist. Everyone is urged to immediately report intoxicated drivers in Columbia County by calling 503-3971521 or just call 9-1-1.
Fire Reports Scappoose Fire District Dec. 20-25 – Scappoose Fire provided five medical transports to hospitals and six medical assessments without transport. Dec. 20 – Units provided mutual aid with CRF&R for a structure fire on Fifth Street in Columbia City. Scappoose
Fire sent five firefighters, one fire engine and one command vehicle to assist with the fire. It was extinguished. Dec. 21 – Units responded to a hazardous material spill on Airport Road. An investigation found a fuel leak inside a hangar.

He graduated from Scappoose High School in 1985 and enlisted four years with the U.S. Coast Guard, earning top honors in National Motor Life Boat School at Cape Disappointment, also attending Maritime Law Enforcement School and U.S. Coast Guard Boatswains Mate “A” School. After leaving the Coast Guard, he attended the Diver’s Institute of Technology, receiving his commercial diving certificate graduating with honors. In 1998 he became a Washington State Master Electrician through IBEW Electrical Apprenticeship. Education was something Dave continued to do to further his knowledge in the offshore industry, receiving numerous certificates and also attending WSU, Tri-Cities. In early 1991, Dave met his wife Tammy in Seattle and later married in Grandview, Wash., on Sept. 7, 1991. Dave and Tammy started their life together in Oregon where Dave worked in the family well drilling business with his father, Don, and brother Duane for several years; later moving to Prosser, where Dave and Tammy made their home for the last 20 years. Dave would become an electrician, owning his own business, Intrepid Electric, for several years. After selling the business he pursued his second love “the ocean” (first love being his wife) working in the seafloor exploration field. This passion for the
ocean would take him to many parts of the world on different vessels. This also led Dave to documenting his many experiences working overseas. At one point Dave had quite a following with his stories, always sprinkling them with humor throughout, and left you wanting more. Dave was a man of few spoken words, but when he had something to say, it was “always” worth hearing. He loved his family and friends whom he enjoyed spending time with. If it wasn’t fishing in Canada with family, camping or taking time with his wife to go to the beach, he could be found listening to Jimmy Buffett and enjoying leisure time with his wife. Traveling was an adventure for Dave, whether it be to the casino with his mom and dad, or to Thailand with Tammy to visit his brother Donnie and wife Nit. Dave had a special fondness for his three “very large” dogs Summer, Boomer and Baby. Something Dave found he enjoyed later in life was cooking. He’d become quite proficient with his chef skills and BBQ techniques, as many family and friends would attest to. Dave was a very mathematical man with a huge interest in electronics, sometimes to his wife’s frustration. But if you had a question, or wanted to know something technical, he was the one to ask. Dave will be missed profoundly. Survivors include his spouse and love of his life, Tammy (Galliher) Feakin; parents, Don and Donnajean; brothers, Don (Nit), Duane (Shelli) and Dean; mothers in law, Donna Heintz and Alicia Galliher; brother in law, David (Nancy) Galliher; step sister in law, Dusty (Rich) Rhea; and a host of beloved nieces and nephews, Cody, Callie, Jake, Katie, Travis, Brecken, Maya, Emma and Ian. Dave also leaves behind numerous life-long friends, many like family. Dave was preceded in death by his father-in-law, Jerry Galliher. A Memorial Service was held at Monday, Dec. 30, 2013 at the Covenant Presbyterian Church in Prosser. Memorial contributions may be made to the TriCities Chaplaincy Hospice House at 1480 Fowler Street Richland, WA 99352 in memory of Dave Feakin. Flowers may be sent to Prosser Funeral Home at
1220 Sheridan Ave., Prosser, WA. You may leave an online message of condolence for the family at prosserfuneralhome.com. Lorne Everett Hampton Lorne Everett Hampton, 81, of Columbia City, died on Dec. 22, 2013, at Community Home Health Hospice in Longview, Wash., of complications due to cardiovascular issues and cancer. Lorne was born to Luke and Elsie Lorne E. Hampton Hampton on July 7, 1932, in Harlowton, Mont. The family relocated to Marion, Ore., in 1936. He attended Marion Elementary School and Jefferson High School. Lorne married Berta Fay Parker in 1952. Shortly after they were married, Lorne was drafted and spent two years in the U.S. Army. In 1966 they moved to the St. Helens area. He cherished his family, loved fishing, gardening, and driving. Lorne drove trucks for a living until 1972, when he and wife, Berta, started Hampton Construction. They built 150 homes, mostly in Columbia County. He retired in 1997, but is fondly remembered by some of the children in the family as “Hammer Man.” In retirement, he still loved driving, so he and Berta traveled in motor homes and travel trailers. He drove to all 50 United States, except Hawaii. He enjoyed spending winters in Arizona, and raising watermelons in his garden at home in the summer, which he generously shared with family and friends. When health problems kept him from traveling, he took up baking. He searched the Internet for recipes and made many pies and cakes to share with family. Most of them were chocolate. Lorne is survived by his wife, Berta; children Brenda (Dennis) Farland of Longview, and DeWayne
(Debora) Hampton of Columbia City; grandchildren Christopher Scheu, Joseph (Eleanor) Farland, Angela (Gabino) Salgado, Ryan (Danielle) Hampton, Nikki Farland and Shawn Hampton; 13 great-grandchildren; brothers Lyle Hampton, John Hampton and Donald Hampton; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his sister, Millie Hice, in 2005. A memorial service was held at Columbia Funeral Home in St. Helens, at 11 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 30. Donations can be made in memory of Lorne Hampton to Community Home Health Hospice, 1035 11th Ave., Longview, WA 98632. Online condolences may be left for the family at ColumbiaFH.com. Arrangements are by Columbia Funeral Home. Mabel Stratton Ahlf Mabel Stratton Ahlf was born on April 24, 1918, in Clatskanie and passed away in St. Helens, on Dec. 25, 2013.

Indians are nearly perfect at NW Duals by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com
PORTLAND — Squaring off against some of the top competition in the Northwest, the Scappoose Indians finished 4-3 at the Northwest Duals Dec. 27-28. All three of those losses came by the slimmest of margins. Scappoose dropped a 42-29 dual to Dallas in which both teams won six of the contested matches. The Indians were without wrestlers in two weight classes, meaning they forfeited twice and gave up 12 points. Scappoose dropped a 36-33 match to 6A Hillsboro despite conceding three forfeits. And in the final dual of the tournament, the Indians and Cleveland Warriors ended tied at 36, but Cleveland’s advantage in nearfall points gave CHS the tiebreaker. The Tribe’s four victories, on the other hand, all came by wide margins.
Scappoose beat Snohomish 5721, beat Barlow 58-15, beat Tualatin 44-18 and shut out the Franklin Quakers 63-0. Two Indians – senior Taylor Walden and sophomore Braxton Sue – marched through the tournament unbeaten. Walden pinned four of his six opponents at 132 pounds. Three of those came in the first round; the other in the second. He won an 8-2 decision and a 10-3 decision as well. Sue won each of his first four matches by fall, then earned a narrow 3-1 decision in his final match at 106 pounds. Junior Johnathan Tardif went 6-1 in the 182-pound weight class. He set the stage for his outstanding tournament in his first match – needing just 11 seconds to pin his opponent. He went on to add two more first-round pins, two secondround pins and a 15-3 major decision. His lone loss came via a 4-1 decision. Senior Isaiah Goodrich won four
of five matches at 195 pounds. He dropped a 5-2 decision, but otherwise was in complete control. He had a pair of first-round pins and two major decision victories. Fellow senior Hunter Hoyt was also 4-1. In the 152-pound weight class, Hoyt won twice by pin fall in the first round, added a major decision victory and a 3-2 win. He lost a 4-3 decision to Hillsboro. Junior Logan Brooks ended up 5-2 in the 160-pound weight class, tallying four pins and a major decision. Juniors Colton Wheeler and Ben Gadbois each won four of six matches. At 170 pounds, Gadbois won three times by fall and once by major decision. In the heavyweight division, all six of Wheeler’s matches were determined by pin fall. Next for Scappoose is a home invitational on Jan. 3 beginning at 9 a.m. See match-by-match results from kyle boggs / The Chronicle the NW Duals at thechronicleonScappoose senior Taylor Walden was a perfect 6-0 at the NW Duals Dec. 27-28. line.com.

St. Helens has strong showing at tournament by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com
PORTLAND — If Myles Terry hadn’t made his presence on the St. Helens High School wrestling team known yet, he certainly did at the Northwest Duals Dec. 27-28. Terry wrestled eight matches in those two days, bouncing back and forth between the 152- and 160-pound weight class. The freshman won all eight matches. His performance, grouped with that of a handful of other Lion wrestlers, helped St. Helens finish in third place in its pool and second place in the second bracket. The Lions ended the dual meet tournament with a record of 3-5. Six of Terry’s eight wins came by pin fall, with two of those pins coming in the first round. The other four pins were second-round wins. He also won a 3-1 decision and a 16-12 decision. Junior Mario Olmedo was

the other Lion wrestler to finish the event unbeaten. He pinned all three of his heavyweight opponents and collected four wins via forfeit. Junior Cody Jackson near-
ly ended the tournament unbeaten. He won his first five matches – including three first-round pins. His quick pin against Lake Oswego sealed a team win for St. Helens.
The 126-pounder entered the final match of the dual meet with his team trailing by five points. His pin in just 26 seconds gave the Lions a 40-39 team win. Jackson ended the

La Salle 58, Scappoose 45
Lions learn at Barlow tournament La Salle’s length by kyle boggs sports@thechronicleonline.com
GRESHAM — An early funk put the St. Helens Lions (2-4) in a deep hole against the Grants Pass Cavemen (91) on Dec. 26 in the opening round of The Barlow Trail Classic. The Lions fell behind 11-0, which set the stage for what head coach Jerry Allen deemed an informative three-game tournament. The Lions lost that game to the Cavemen – who went on to win the tournament – 43-32. St. Helens then committed 26 turnovers in a 6835 loss to Benson (4-6). The Lions had their opportunities to salvage a win in the final game of the tournament, but instead dropped a double-overtime thriller to the Willamette Wolverines (1-4), 47-46. “We should have won before the first overtime. We missed some free throws. In critical situations, guys aren’t making the right choices,” Allen said. For the tournament on the whole, Allen said it provided valuable teachable moments. “I told them I don’t care if we win preseason games, we’ll learn from them and be stronger for league. I know it affects our RPI, but it’s better to learn now and be ready down the road,” Allen said. After falling behind 11-0 in the first quarter against the Cavemen, the Lions played evenly the rest of the game. Because they were playing from behind, the Lions were forced to rely on outside shooting. For the game, St. Helens made more 3-point

field goals (six) than twopoint shots (five). That perimeter-oriented style is not how Allen wants to play, however. That was evident over the next two games, as the long shots dwindled and St. Helens spent more time attacking the basket. “We were settling for the jump shot. Coach Allen said ‘We don’t shoot jump shots, we gotta shoot lay-ins,” Allen said in explaining the change of approach. Perhaps nowhere was that adjustment more evident than with senior guard
Tanner Long. Long was the team’s leading scorer in all three games. He had eight points against Grants Pass and eight again against Benson. In those two games, he attempted half as many 3-pointers (six) as he did 2-pointers (12). Against Willamette, Long did not attempt a single shot from beyond the arc. He forced his way to the basket and ended with 21 points on 13 shots. He added five assists. Senior post Corey West also scored efficiently against Willamette, finishing
with 12 points on six field goal attempts. In that game, the Lions led in the second overtime before the Wolverines forced a couple of turnovers and ended up winning the game. “Turnovers are a part of the game – they’re gonna happen. But it’s the timing of them. We were up when both turnovers happened,” Allen said. “I’m not disappointed in them – it’s teachable for them. I’m disappointed with the more online deciSee full box sions scores and they more made. photos at But these thechronicleare my online.com. guys; I love ’em to death. It’s just a matter of us learning how to close the game out, which we should have done.” In addition to those teachable moments, Allen found some positives to take away from the tournament. “We made them turn the ball over, made some plays. We just didn’t capitalize on their mistakes and they capitalized on ours,” Allen said. The Lions will have a full week of practice before returning to the court Jan. 4 on the road against the Madison Senators (5-4). During that week, Allen would like to see improvements in a couple of specific areas. “We don’t handle the ball real well,” Allen said. “The level of defensive intensity isn’t where I’d like it; we didn’t defend the ball real well.”
troubles Scappoose SCAPPOOSE — The lengthy La Salle Falcons (5-1) presented a tough challenge on the glass for the Scappoose Indians (2-4) on Dec. 27. The Falcons were able to convert repeated second- and third-chance opportunities on their way to a 58-45 victory. Scappoose junior post Chase Johnson and senior Mitch Davis were able to get their share of rebounds, but La Salle’s persistent crashing of the boards hurt Scappoose. Johnson finished with his third straight double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing a dozen rebounds. Davis added 13 points and six rebounds. Tribe head coach Rahim Tufts said rebounding was one of three key areas he felt La Salle outperformed Scappoose. Tufts said he would have preferred to see his team defend the dribbledrive more effectively. More importantly, he said, was
shooting the ball better. “The biggest thing was our shooting percentage. We got some good looks from mid-range, on 3s, and even some lay-ups. They blocked some shots, and I think it got in our heads,” Tufts said. Despite those open shots, Scappoose shot 28 percent from the field. On the bright side, Tufts pointed out his team is getting much better at handling the ball against high-pressure defenses. “We’re progressing. We played really well, just need to knock down a couple more shots, get some rebounds,” Tufts said. Scappoose will head over the Cascades for a tournament this weekend. The Indians open against the Sisters Outlaws (0-6) at 7 p.m. on Jan. 2. The Indians will play again on Jan. 3 and Jan. 4, with their opponents to be determined. – Kyle Boggs

ST. HELENS — A twoday trip to Dallas for a holiday tournament didn’t yield any wins for the St. Helens Lions (0-6), but did display potential for some of the team’s younger players as they adapt to playing at the varsity level. The Lions dropped their first game 59-38 to the Churchill Lancers (4-2). The next day, the Thurston Colts (3-2) took a 42-33 win over St. Helens. “Not a bad tournament,” said St. Helens coach Billy McKinney. “I thought the kids played very well, did some good things. I’m sure glad we’ve got the preseason – there’s a lot of hidden talent that you never even seen. Emily Nollette came out of nowhere,” McKinney said. In the first game, Nollette – a sophomore guard – went off for a game-high 16 points. “She was just phenomenal,” McKinney said. Senior Lucy KyleMilward returned from an ankle injury to add seven points. Kyle-Milward was still hampered by the ankle, McKinney said. “She grabbed rebounds, but she’s not quite ready yet,” McKinney said. In warm-ups the next day, Nollette jammed her finger. With it swollen, she was limited to five points. Junior Rianne Tupper picked up the scoring slack, scoring 11. Freshmen Kileigh Capelle and Maggie Cochrane both helped fill Kyle-Milward’s void. The senior was forced to miss the second half against Thurston. “I’m really impressed with my younger kids. Maggie stepped up and did a real good job. Kileigh Capelle stepped in. It was a really good team effort,” he said. Cochrane also had six points against Churchill. McKinney said the team still needs to improve on running its offense all the way through to get better looks at the basket. “The Thurston game, we were right there with them but we missed some shots. I think we’ll be pretty much ready for league,” McKinney said. St. Helens has plenty of time to work on those areas of improvement before its next game. The Lions don’t play again until Jan. 7, when they’re on the road at Sprague High School in Salem.
