Middle schools sports, gun policy tops school board agenda BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
It seems the past has become the present for the St. Helens School District. During the school board’s Oct. 9 work session, two issues dealt with previously have once again moved to the forefront. Just two years ago, funding shortages at the school district ended with the defunding of middle school sports. A plan brought forward by Mark Janke, dean of students at St. Helens Middle School, just may resurrect the now defunct program.
PGE is top taxpayer in Columbia County
“I hear the board may consider reinstating middle school sports. There are a lot of benefits to school sports, one of them is that a large number of students involved in school sports is… they have to meet behavioral and academic standards,” said Bert Mueller, president of the St. Helens Sports Boosters Club. “They also exert themselves physically, which has certain benefits. Competition intensifies their dedication.” Under the plan brought forward by Janke, cross-country, volleyball, girls’ basketball, wrestling, boys’ basketball and track would be reinstated. Football, however, was ruled
out as being too expensive to fund. By reinstating the six sports programs, the school district would incur an estimated $6,700 in transportation costs, $18,000 for coaches and an athletic director and $5,000 for officials. Supplies and uniform rotation costs would be covered by the Sports Boosters with those costs not to exceed $5,000. Under the proposed plan, all of the expenses picked up by the school district would be covered student user fees set at $100 per student per sport along with a $3 gate fee. Janke’s proposal estimates 23 students for cross-country; 45
students for volleyball; 57 students for girls’ basketball; 30 students for wrestling; 60 students for boys’ basketball and 130 for track. The total estimated student fees collected is just over $29,000. The total gate fees – based on 40 spectators at each home contest (five per season) and 100 spectators at two home track meets – are estimated at $3,000. Mueller wasn’t the only one at the school board meeting backing the proposal. “By not having middle school sports, we have eliminated a group of students who can’t afford athletics… when I was in school, I was
one of those kids. I didn’t have parents to pick me up from games but my coaches were there, the teachers were there, the team was my support group,” said Rich Bailey. “Without them, I wouldn’t be here. We all know the good that sports can do. We just have to think of we can help those kids.” Because the proposed coaching fees are reduced from the rate negotiated by the St. Helens Education Association, the union would have to approve the reduction before the school board can move forward with reinstating the sports program.

Columbia County’s tax rolls for 2013 were recently released and heading the list of top taxpayers was Portland General Electric with $3.7 million in taxes paid. Last year, PGE was the third highest taxpayer with $1.08 million in taxes paid. According to Jennifer Cuellar-Smith, finance and taxation director for the county, the bulk of that tax increase came from nearly $2.5 million in taxes paid to the Columbia County Urban Renewal Agency, which pertains to the Port Westward I plant. “PGE came off of their five-year enterprise zone status. This is their first year back paying tax,” said Cuellar-Smith. “For the last two tax years, the market rates fell below the frozen rate, which is why there were $0 tax dollars the prior year and the year before.” Cuellar-Smith said the tax revenues would be used to help pay down existing debt. “There’s debt out there,” said Columbia County Commissioner Henry Heimuller. “There’s an $8 million water loan.” In addition to the water See TAXES, Page A7

9-1-1 upgrades should Burglary attempt leads to chase, crash improve system reliability BY SHARI PHIEL The Chronicle
Columbia 9-1-1 recently completed a critical upgrade to its public safety radio system in Columbia County. On Sunday, Oct. 13, Day Wireless from Longview, Wash., installed and configured new hardware at most of the district’s radio sites. The upgrade is intended to automate and improve the
system controlling the timing of the radio transmitters at each site. According to Steve Watson, technical manager for Columbia 9-1-1, the upgrade was critical to ensure all radio transmitters at the radio sites activate at precisely the same time. The current system requires that the system be timed by a manual process and that the See 9-1-1, Page A7
It seems an alert neighbor interrupted an attempted burglary that ultimately led to a highspeed police chase and landed two suspects in jail. Just after 10:30 p.m., on Oct. 10, St. Helens Police Department responded to a report of a burglary in progress at 59440 Alderwood Drive. The alert neighbor Randy Parker reportedly watched as two men attempted to break into the garage and then leave the scene in a Subaru. “An attentive neighbor – which we just love – said ‘that doesn’t look right, what are those guys doing over there.’ He confronted
these guys and then called the police,” said St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. “The officers showed up in the area and saw the vehicle driving away.” The responding officers then followed the vehicle as it traveled on North Vernonia Road near Columbia Boulevard. According to Moss, Tomas Schlickeiser the officers attempted to stop the vehicle but the driver and his passenger fled at a “very high rate of speed” towards Scappoose. After reaching speeds in excess of

An indoor marijuana nursery being operated out of the old Midway Electric building on Columbia Boulevard is closed now after police removed several plants and cited the operator, David Mighell, with possession and manufacture of a controlled substance.
ST. HELENS — It seems an indoor marijuana farm won’t be joining the business community along Columbia Boulevard. A city council public hearing scheduled for Oct. 16 was cancelled after applicant David Mighell, who applied for a conditional use permit to establish an indoor marijuana nursery and workshop at the former Midway Electric building at 1271 Columbia Blvd., withdrew his application. Mighell applied to the city’s planning commission
earlier this year, which was reviewed by the commission at a July 9 meeting and approved on Aug. 13. The permit allowed Mighell to operate an indoor marijuana nursery under the business name of Destination Farms. Mighell has now found himself in legal trouble as well. Police were called to the building in mid-September after receiving complaints from nearby business about odors coming from the location. “One of our detectives went over and asked if he could look around. We had See FARM, Page A7

Opinion
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A concern for all For centuries the criminal justice system has used a jail as a means to house those who have committed crimes and are a risk to the community. To that end, a jail is one of the most powerful tools available to a police officer as they work to keep our neighborhoods free of crime. The county commissioners recently announced that without additional funding the jail will be forced to close soon. Instead of using the jail, the county would rent a handful of bed spaces in other communities. Those beds, in most cases, would be over 50 miles away and serve only the absolute worst criminal offenders in Columbia County. Without a jail in Columbia County it is likely that most offenders will never see the inside of a jail cell. This could be the burglar who steals your television, the drunk driver who crashes into your family, or the drug dealer who sells methamphetamine to your child. Statistics demonstrate that without punishment, these criminals will be more likely to re-offend. Without the right tools, any job can become difficult if not impossible to perform. Consider the effectiveness of a fire department without hoses, or a 9-1-1 dispatch center without telephones. Without the proper tools, the St. Helens Police Department and our partner law enforcement agencies face a difficult situation that will sacrifice public safety and overall livability of this community. This concern is shared by the law enforcement community, and should be shared by all. Terry Moss, St. Helens Police Chief Send the message Actions have consequences, or at least they should have consequences! With limited resources the law enforcement agencies and criminal justice system in Columbia County have been doing a decent job to make sure that our communities are as safe as possible. In my opinion their hands have been tied because of inadequate funding of the county jail. Some years ago the voters of Columbia County approved a bond levy to build a new jail. Operation funding for the jail was not voted on at the time or since. It’s kind of like building a new fire station but not buying any fire apparatus. There are a lot of good law abiding people in our communities, but there are some people who just don't understand that our laws
apply to them. Maybe someday they will but until they do they must know that when they violate the law they will go to jail. No more “book and release” nonsense. Book them and show them to their cell. We have a good, modern jail facility that is not being used anywhere near its capacity do to a lack of funds. Now we have the opportunity to provide proper funding for day-to-day jail operations. Please join me in supporting the jail levy. Let’s send the message to criminals that if they do the crime in Columbia County, they will spend time in our jail. George Dunkel, Scappoose Who needs truth? Have you ever noticed that many of those who give their opinion on this page often state that opinion as if it were a fact? I first noticed this with the failed hospital fiasco (fact, not fiction) a couple years ago. Many opinions from both sides of that issue were stated as hard facts. I am surprised that some of the opinions didn’t end up in court for slander (i.e. the commissioners and committee chairmen did very bad things with the missing millions). It’s happening again now with the Port property expansion (i.e. the commissioners are voting for expansion so that coal will be coming through town via rail. Coal via rail will kill us all from exposure to the vast clouds of coal dust as the unit trains move through our towns). Very few of these (opinions) are based on fact, in fact. Little, if any, real research was done prior to posting these opinions as fact. I also have noticed that quite a few of the authors of these “facts” are the same ones who gave their opinions in the hospital failure. Was my last opinion based on fact or guesswork? If you chose guesswork you would be correct. I think it is a truth that could be researched, but why bother? Truth doesn't really matter, does it? You know, it could be that I just love the sound of my own voice, so to speak. Have a great week. Robin Eidem, Columbia City Jail is not needed I am sure most people have heard on the national news of document and verify, and for seven years as a purchasing agent for three state agencies it was my job to document and verify state expenses and oversee con-
tracts for goods and services. Since hearing the county sheriff present his case for jail operations and the need to pass a jail operations budget at the Aug. 1 Columbia City Council meeting, I have searched state, county and newspaper archives to document and verify the need for a 250-plus bed jail in Columbia County and have come up empty. The jail bed requirements for Columbia County residents have never been above 65. Add 15 beds for medical and isolation, and another 25 percent for overflow and the maximum jail size totals 100 beds. I find no justification for an additional 150-plus beds. When an individual goes to a bank or credit union for a loan to buy a home or auto they must provide documentation showing they have a steady income and must pass a credit check to validate their ability to repay the loan. To build a 250-plus bed jail was bad enough, but to do so without passing an operational budget to cover operations prior to building it falls under the category of gross negligence and misuse of public funds. Basically speaking someone fell asleep at the switch. To cover up the incompetence, the county has already attempted and failed to pass six funding ballot measures. Why do public servants continue to put ballot measures before the voters that have repeatedly been defeated? Why do voters continue to reelect public servants who will not recognize the power of the vote? I will not support a ballot measure that has already been defeated multiple times, especially that which has not been documented and verified. What part of no, do they not understand? Joe Bill Turner, Columbia City Jail a shame The original levy to construct a jail in 1998 was presented to the voters by promising the voters the “new” jail would be self-supporting with the housing of federal prisoners. That is why there was not an operating levy included at the same time. Commissioner Tony Hyde made it perfectly clear that there would be no taxpayer dollars needed to fund the jail. The voters took the bait and Columbia County had their new state of the art jail with 250 beds. The jail construction was initially $13.8 million but ended up costing $29 million. A bill we are still paying on. What the commissioners and the sheriff’s department failed to tell the voters was

that from the beginning the jail was operating at a loss and was shored up from the county’s general fund. Columbia County rented out federal beds at much lower rates than actual cost and below bed rental rates in Washington and Multnomah counties. The federal marshals used Columbia County as their overflow housing. There was never any guarantee that there would be enough federal prisoners to make the jail self-sustaining and all involved knew this. Many years ago Commissioner Hyde made a special agreement with the cities throughout Columbia County to house city inmates for free – another unwise decision. On the average it costs $94 per day to house inmates and the federal government only pays Columbia County $78 per day at a net loss of $16 per day per federal prisoner. While this may not seem much it adds up to nearly $1 million in deficient revenue and must be accounted for and is, by additional funds coming from you the taxpayers. No matter how the county commissioners or the sheriff spins their accounting, a deficient is a deficient. Business 101 states it is not wise to have more money going out for expenditures than what a business is taking in, this practice will surely result in the business failing. And that is what was destined for

You can bet it will be at least $1 per thousand, can you afford that? Not many people can.

I have no problem paying for Columbia County inmates, which the jail currently sets aside approximately 25 beds for local law breakers. But I do have a problem paying for unwise endeavors and grand visions by elected officials in Columbia County. If the levy passes the taxpayers will be paying out $9.5 million in the next four years to support the huge albatross that was hung around the necks of the unsuspecting

Bonamici joins fellow Reps. in signing petition to get government back to work Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-Oregon) joined fellow Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon) in signing a petition to reopen the government. The petition was brought forward under a procedure known as a discharge petition, which allows a majority of members to bypass the Speaker and require an up or down vote on a bill. The federal government has been closed since Oct. 1, and House leaders have repeatedly refused requests to allow a vote to reopen the government that does not include provisions to delay or repeal the Affordable Care Act.
“A bipartisan majority of the House would support a bill to reopen the government today, but we're not being allowed to vote,� said Bonamici. “That all changes if a majority of the House signs this petition. I urge all of my colleagues to do so. This shutdown is hurting our constituents and threatening the national economy. It’s time for the Speaker to let us vote.� The discharge petition for House Resolution 372 would allow an up or down vote on a clean continuing resolution, providing funding through Nov. 15 at a compromise level requested by the Speaker.

During the 201213 school year the clinics served over 130 students statewide, and dispensed $9,575 in low vision devices and equipment. The BVIS fund was appropriated by the Oregon Legislature in 2009 to assure consistent and adequate funding for students upon
closure for Oregon School for the blind. The Oregon Department of Education contracts with Northwest Regional Education Service District to manage the fund. Low Incidence Regional Programs coordinate to provide services to children with that occur in less than one percent of the general population, making it difficult for individual school districts to employ specialized staff and provide a full range of re-

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers furloughed many regulatory personnel due to the government shutdown on Oct. 15, leaving regulatory offices minimally staffed. Regulatory offices will be unable to evaluate individual permit applications, pre-construction notifications for nationwide permit or regional general permit authorizations, or requests for jurisdictional determinations until after funding is received. Those applying for nationwide permit authorizations are reminded that proposed nationwide permit activities that require preconstruction notifications must wait 45 days before beginning the activity. Certain nationwide permit preconstruction notifications require a written response from the Corps before beginning the nationwide permit activity. More nationwide permit information is available at http://www.nwp.usace.army. mil/Missions/Regulatory/Na tionwide.aspx.

already seen it before, knew they were there. Once we got in, we realized they were out of compliance,” said St. Helens Police Chief Terry Moss. Oregon’s medical marijuana law allows growers to have six mature plants per card holder and 12 immature plants. “The immature plants can only be 12 inches wide and many of them were far and above that. We collected all of the plants that were out of compliance and issued a citation,” Moss added. Mighell was charged with possession of a controlled substance and manufacture of a controlled substance. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 21. Although legal under Oregon statutes, the possession and cultivation of marijuana is still very illegal under federal law, often leaving cities in conflict over what to do with marijuana-based businesses. “He had been in operation since day one, before the city even became aware of it, he was up and running and growing his marijuana” said Moss, who noted Mighell did not have a business license either. “If you’re going to run it as a business, you’re going to hire employees, you need a business license. That was one of the points of my appeal. But [Mighell] states it’s not a business.” In his application, Mighell said the nursery was intended to house 24 plants (six per patient). But as Mighell pointed
out during the planning commission meeting, the law allows six mature plants capable of flowering per patient, plus an additional 18 plants that have not matured. This would allow for a total of 96 plants. The plants would be grown using artificial light, and natural fertilizers. While the planning commission may have approved the conditional use permit, several voiced concerns about allowing the business to be house close to a fire department, police department and two schools. Moss voiced his concerns at the commission meeting by reading a prepared letter, “As the Chief of Police I come to you today, not to discuss medical marijuana and the myriad of issues related to its consumption. Instead I ask you to consider the cultivation of marijuana, how it fits into the City of St. Helens, and how the values of this community are directly affected by the decision you are about to make,” said Moss. He went on to add that the permit request should go beyond the planning commission’s review and should include community input and well as a response from city officials. Moss wasn’t the only one to speak out against the marijuana facility. St. Helens School Board member Gordon Jarman said the school district was “adamantly opposed” to the application and urged the commission to “use common sense” in making a decision.

100 mph, the vehicle entered into the City of Scappoose, where officers were led through some of the neighborhoods on the west side of town before the car crashed into the athletic fields near Scappoose High School. “The crashed into the field about by the bleachers somewhere,” said Moss. “They had lost sight of them but were then able to track them through the softball/ baseball fields,” Moss added. The driver, later identified as Randy Weston Parker, 27, of Seattle, Wash., fled from the vehicle. Parker eventually apprehended by St. Helens Police Canine Officer Lycos. The passenger, identified as Tomas Scott Schlickeiser, 43, of Portland, was arrested a short distance away. Officers discovered that the suspect’s vehicle was stolen in Seattle on Wednesday, Oct. 9. As the investigating of-
ficers are unable to determine the connection the two suspects had to either the St. Helens area or the house on Alderwood Driver, their motivations for the attempted burglary remains unclear. Parker was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, first-degree theft, attempting to elude a police officer and reckless driving, first-degree criminal mischief, second-degree criminal trespass and first-degree attempted burglary. He was lodged in the Columbia County Jail with bail set at $153,000. Schlickeiser was charged with second-degree criminal trespass, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and second-degree attempted burglary. He was also lodged in the Columbia County Jail with bail set at $81,250. As of Oct. 15, both men were still in custody.

loan, there is also a $5 million road loan related to improvements on Kallunki Road. “We weren’t able to pay debt payments because of the tax status, but now that it’s come back online we will be able to pay that down,” Cuellar-Smith added. Others on the top 20 taxpayers list included: Northwest Natural Gas (at
first place last year) with $1.92 million in taxes; U.S. Gypsum with $1.2 million in taxes – that’s down from the $1.26 million paid in 2012; Longview Timberlands with $531,000; and Clatskanie PUD rounds out the top five with $506,000 in taxes. Several fire districts in the county saw increases in their tax collections. The Clatskanie Rural Fire Protection District, which is in its first
year of collections, will see $575,000 come in. Scappoose RFPD had $1.097 million in tax revenues, an increase over last year of around $31,000. Columbia River Fire & Rescue tax revenues had an increase of almost $90,000 with $6.13 million. Local school districts also seemed to fare well this year. St. Helens School District increased by just over $200,000 to $7.28 million; Scappoose
School District tax revenues were up $157,000 with a total of $5.59 million; Clatskanie School District revenues topped the $2 million mark with an increase of $85,000.

SCHOOL: gun control policy brought forward again by Biggs From PAGE A1
According to District Superintendent Mark Davalos said that discussion is in progress but no decision has yet been made. Staff gun policy reviewed Last March, following a lengthy review and discussion, the school board passed Policy GBJ, which prohibits district employees, contractors and their employees, and volunteers from bringing weapons onto school grounds. Policy GBJ states, “Employees, district contractors and/or their employees and district volunteers shall not possess a dangerous or deadly weapon or firearm on district property or at
school-sponsored events. This prohibition includes those who may otherwise be permitted by law to carry such weapons.” The policy was passed with then board members Matt Freeman, Alan King and Nathan Helwig voting in favor of the policy and board members Marshall Porter and Ray Biggs opposed. Freeman, King and Helwig are no longer school board members. Replacing them are Kellie Smith, Jeff Howell and Gordan Jarman. At the board’s Sept. 25 meeting, Biggs asked to have the policy placed on the agenda for reconsideration. “My thought for bringing this up was to eliminate it, pull it out and rescind it. I haven’t talked to any
legal advisors, but I get the impression from Kellie that it would maybe take our head out a potential noose that the school district – in my opinion – does not have the authority to make these decisions,” said Biggs. “We took an oath to uphold the constitution, we did not take an oath to uphold a judge’s decision, we did not take an oath to uphold case law.” In Columbia County, both the Rainier and Vernonia school districts have approved Policy GBJ. The Scappoose and Clatskanie school districts have not. Biggs wasn’t the only board member in favor of repealing the policy. In fact, all but one of the board members spoke in favor of repealing the policy. Only
board member Jeff Howell voiced concerns about allowing school staff to carry weapons. “So two out of five [school district] employees can carry weapons even though studies have proven that trained police officers, when they use their weapons, are accurate less than 50 percent? And here we’re opening the doors to employees in a possible stressful situation, who would be less trained than a police officer,” said Howell. “I put the safety of our children above all else.” Before making a decision though, the board asked Davalos to seek guidance from the district’s legal counsel. Davalos said the discussion should have within the next week.
9-1-1: remote locations, topography make rural communications problematic From PAGE A1
timing must be monitored and corrected periodically. The new system uses GPS timing from satellites to ensure precise time management. The dispatchers used alternative methods to stay in constant contact with all emergency responders. Although first responders across the county describe it call for a free quote. as generally reliable, Columbia 9-1-1’s radio system has had some recent outages. In Heather Epperly Agency, Inc. early September, the county’s 1631 Columbia Blvd Ste 2 radio system was out for apSt Helens, OR 97051 proximately five minutes due to what was believed to be Bus: (503) 397-2033 related to a power issue in the www.heatherepperly.com 07-13-11 2x2.5D Copies:04-26-08 2X2.5D Copies.qxd 6/22/12 Clatskanie area. C11635 “We thought we lost coverage due to a power outage, but the system was restored as soon as the power glitch was back on,” said Jeanine Dillley.

“We thought we had a lightning strike outside of Rainier, but it turned out to be a glitch in the system.” Watson said while radio outages are certainly the exception rather than the norm, the area’s topography, remote location and placement of equipment can make communications in more rural sections of Rainier and Clatskanie problematic. “Part of radio system upgrade, which has been in the works for a couple of years, is to move mountaintop to get better coverage,” added Dilley. Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson acknowledge the radio difficulties deputies sometimes have in those remote areas. “It’s definitely an issue we are aware of,” said Dickerson, but said those rural areas have
typically been the only places deputies have reported as having radio difficulties. The Pacific Northwest’s heavy rain and stormy weather can also contribute to radio communication problems. Another radio outage that occurred on Saturday, Sept. 28, was initially thought to be related to this, but later proved to be a different issue. “Saturday’s outage… was due to a low power failure on the microwave from Columbia Heights to Clatskanie Mt. This power reduction, while not enough to trigger an alarm, was enough to reduce the amount of fade the link could handle which resulted in numerous signal outages in a very short period of time,” said Dilley. “The techs were able to diagnose the problem and remotely switch to the full power transmitter in the
hot standby microwave at Columbia Heights. Dilley also noted staff would work to determine exactly what can be done to mitigate the chances of this happening again in the future. “We normally have two types of outages. One of those is with regards to the telephone lines. CenturyLink is our provider, and from time to time there are issues with construction, or backhoes or telephone poles. That has not happened in quite some time,” said Watson. “What we have done on our property, and what we can control, is we put all of telephone lines underground and we have done the redundant routing with the phone company to make sure when someone does dial 9-1-1, at least a portion of our system is working.”

SAYS: PLENTY OF GYMS HERE
I read an interesting article the other day in one of the magazines I subscribe to – which was about where the best places are to work out – and it got me thinking about places in Columbia Simon Date County and the choices folks have here. The article, among other things, talked about getting a variety of workouts done that are different and cause your body to react under opposing stressors. Basically, as I mentioned in an earlier article, go and try something new! If you’re a runner, lift weights. A pumping iron kind-of-guy, go and try yoga. Spinner? Dust off those running shoes and use them. Here in Columbia County we have a plethora of places to workout. Obviously there is our studio in Scappoose. It’s small, classbased, and very private when it comes to working out. Our unique punch card
system means there is an opportunity to try everything at one low price. Another fantastic option in Scappoose is the revamped Fitness Center. The new owner, Doreen, has done a fabulous job of cleaning it up and getting in new gear. And with its membership system, as well as a blend of classes, it makes a great option for folks who are looking for workouts on their timetable. St. Helens has The Vault. The owner, Chris, is an old friend of mine going back to our younger soccer days (when we both had fewer wrinkles!). Its CrossFitbased training system is something everyone is aware of. The location is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, and trust me, you’re going to get a workout in there! The ‘CrossFit’ brand may have its own set of detractors, but until you’ve been in and seen what they do, keep an open mind. Get in there and try it out if you’re in the St. Helens area.
Anytime Fitness is also another option in St. Helens for those of you looking for a real gym with crazy hours! Anytime is open – as you’d expect from their name – at any time. They’re 24/7 access, so if you suddenly feel the urge to work out late at night, get on in there and get it going. Along with the gyms mentioned above, there are a number of other ones also in the area. Google them and see which one is right for you! So it would seem a bit odd for me to be promoting these other gyms, right? The ‘enemy’ so to speak. Well, the fitness community, especially in Columbia County, is fairly tight knit. People jump around from gym to gym and test things out. They may like the hours at one place, but the equipment at another. Perhaps the instructor is a big draw at one location, or the price is more important elsewhere. Whatever your reason is for trying a gym, swapping a gym, or giving something new a try, as one
sportswear company says, ‘Just Do It!’ Get out there and find your comfort zone. It’s important that you’re happy where you’re working out, because if you’re not, you won’t do it, and ultimately, that is what every gym is trying to cater to: Making you succeed and be happy and get the results you want. I think, at the end of this column I am supposed to subliminally insert our gym’s name for you to remember, but if you (NW Premier Fitness) think that I would stoop that low just (NW Premier Fitness) to get a few extra people through the doors then I think (NW Premier Fitness) you have another thing coming. Happy gym shopping everyone!

COMMENTARY
OSAA’s nine-team league would create headache Last week, The OSAA Classification and Districting Committee released its final recommendation for the 201418 time period. In the previous version, things Kyle Boggs looked like they’d stay relatively stable for Scappoose and St. Helens. But in this latest version – which will be presented to the OSAA Executive Board for approval on Oct. 28 – there is a relatively drastic change that will affect both St. Helens and Scappoose. The committee decided to lower the 4A/5A cutoff point to 675 students. La Salle – with 676 students – thus becomes a 5A school. La Salle has traditionally been a non-league opponent for Scappoose. That could change going forward. La Salle is also set to join the Northwest Oregon Con-

ference under this proposal, giving the NWOC nine teams. I had talked with Scappoose principal Eric Clendenin previously about the possibility of the Cowapa League changing from its current six teams to an odd number of teams in the league. He didn’t like that prospect because of the difficulties it would make in scheduling football games, in particular. With an even number of teams, it’s pretty simple to create schedules for the league portion of the season. With an odd number, one team will either be left with a bye at some point in the season, or the league will need to match up with another odd-numbered league to ensure the team left out of league competition each week will have a non-league game. Last week I called Cyndy Miller, the St. Helens High School athletic director, to ask her what she thought about the changes and how they’d affect scheduling. Because Miller teaches until 10:30 each morning, she hadn’t yet heard about the latest proposal, which was released earlier that morning.
When I told her about it, she was surprised. Based on the long pauses on the other end of the line, I don’t think she was pleasantly surprised. She brought up some interesting points off the top of her head, mostly pertaining to volleyball and football. Volleyball is limited to 18 play dates. One of those has to be saved for a potential play-in game, because for some reason the OSAA felt it necessary to install a play-in round and count that against teams’ game limit. (A stupid decision by the OSAA, but it is what it is.) That means there are 17 open dates for St. Helens. In an eight-team league, like the NWOC currently is, 14 of those dates are reserved for league opponents — each team plays each team twice. That allowed St. Helens to enter three tournaments. In a tournament, teams are able to play far more volleyball than in a regular match. And in St. Helens’ case this year, the team has been able to play much better competition than it’s seen in league. With nine teams in the NWOC, the league would either need to dedicate 16 of the 17 possible dates for league competitions, or play

each league opponent just once. I’m inclined to believe they’d choose the former, not the latter. That leaves one open date for St. Helens to get into a tournament. Not optimal. In football, teams get nine games if they play an endowment game. That means one non-league game in which the school has to split its gate receipt with the OSAA. Coaches like to use nonleague games to iron out the wrinkles before entering the league season. Not a lot of opportunity to do so with just one game. (On the flip side, league standings are less meaningful in 5A. All postseason bracketing is based on a team’s OSAA Power Rankings.) It doesn’t appear the other sports would be affected too much, although baseball would likely have to go from playing three-game series with each opponent to playing only twice. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. A final decision will come from the OSAA at the end of this month announcing what the leagues will look like over the next four school years. If this proposal passes, I imagine the NWOC scheduling meetings will take a lot longer this year than they have before. The proposal recommends the NWOC to include St. Helens, Hillsboro, La Salle, Liberty, Milwaukie, Parkrose, Putnam, Sandy and Wilsonville. It recommends the Cowapa League to include Scappoose, Astoria, Banks, Seaside, Tillamook and Valley Catholic.

No. 8 Scappoose 59, Tillamook 14
Indians score seven unanswered touchdowns BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
TILLAMOOK — At the end of the first quarter on Oct. 10, the No. 8 Scappoose Indians (5-2, 2-1) found themselves trailing the Tillamook Cheesemakers (0-7, 0-3), 1413. Then the Indians scored seven unanswered touchdowns for a 59-14 win. “I didn’t feel like we played as well as we could have early on, I felt we struggled a little bit, felt like we
were a little flat early,” said Scappoose coach Sean McNabb. “The enthusiasm, we didn’t have that early on. We started to get that toward the end of the second quarter. The game’s supposed to be fun. It’s a lot more fun when you’re hootin’ and hollerin.’” From the second quarter on, there was plenty to hoot and holler about. Over the course of the final three quarters, Scappoose outscored the home team 46-0. Realistically, it could have been even more lopsided than that. A 75-yard kickoff return for a touch-
down by senior Nick Rust was waved off because of a penalty, as was a punt return touchdown from sophomore Braden Clark. Yet another penalty wiped out an interception from senior Justice Oman. “We’re just undisciplined in certain areas. We have some kids that haven’t played a lot of football. Some blocks they’re just not sure. That’s something we’ve got to do a better job of in practice. If a guy’s 20 yards away, you don’t need to block – stay away,” McNabb said.
Despite those miscues erasing big plays, Scappoose completely controlled the game on both sides over the final 36 minutes. Senior quarterback Taylor Loss passed for 303 yards and four touchdowns. He completed 22 of 30 attempts. Loss also rushed for 39 yards and a TD. “We ran the ball well. Our perimeter screen game – we were getting yards when we threw the ball out there,” McNabb said.
Scappoose senior Nick Rust had seven catches for 103 yards and two touchdowns against Tillamook on Oct. 10.

ST. HELENS KEEPS IT SIMPLE Lion volleyball team’s focus on fundamentals has first NWOC title on the horizon
A
fter St. Helens beat Parkrose for the eighth set of this season in their eighth try, a Parkrose assistant coach walked up to Tom Ray. “You guys play like a college team,” Ray said the coach told him. “And they do,” Ray said, “They set it where it’s passed.” The idea seems simple enough – go where the ball takes you, make the easy play. However that’s often easier said than done. Teams can get caught trying to force the ball to certain places or lose confidence in a particular player. But with the Lions, those problems don’t seem to exist. Instead, St. Helens takes what it’s given and makes the opposition pay. That’s why St. Helens has won 11 straight matches – excluding pool play contests at tournaments – and is currently ranked third in the state in the OSAA Power Rankings. St. Helens is on the brink of winning an NWOC title – something the Lions have never done. And the Lions are making it look easy. St. Helens has not had a single match go five sets. The Lions have lost only three of 33 sets during conference play. Over the span of those 33 sets, St. Helens has allowed only 16.85 points on average. There are plenty of reasons why the
FOOTBALL
Lions have steamrolled through the conference, but it boils down to three simple things: Make a good pass, set the ball where it’s passed, then hit it. “We’re trying to make plays right off of serve receive. We’ve been doing that a lot in practice. We’ve just been focusing a lot on plays, plays, plays no matter what, instead of just sets outside or sets back. Just quick sets to the middle or quick sets in between the outside and the middle,” said senior middle blocker Gabby Susee. Susee and junior Taylor Albertson make up the conference’s most imposing pair of middle blockers. Both stand 6-1 and both are ferocious hitters. “No one in our league hits harder than Taylor or Gabby do,” said Lion libero Madison Kaplan. While Susee and Albertson or outside hitters Kali Moore and Logan Kaluali record the majority of the team’s kills, they wouldn’t be in a position to power the ball over the net without the help of their teammates, obviously. And it starts in the back row with the team’s defenders receiving serves or digging spikes. Their role is to get the ball exactly where the setter wants it. “Every time we want to focus on perfect

passes. Not just good passes – we have to have perfect passes to set up the ball perfectly to set up our hitters,” Kaplan said. “We’re trying to go for perfect, not good.” It’s a lofty goal. Facing the outstanding hitting of their teammates in practice has the defense ready to take on the other hitters in the league. While nobody can stack up with Albertson or Susee, Kaplan said there are still some challenges in the NWOC. “Sherwood – their outside hitter who’s a freshman, she kind of surprised us,” she said. “She was really good. She mixed it up a lot, especially for a freshman. She was tough. But once our block gets up, they can’t really do anything.” If the opposition does manage to get a quality shot over the Lions’ block, the St. See SHHS, Page A15
ST. HELENS — Much of the gear that was stolen from an equipment shed at the St. Helens High School JV soccer field has been replaced thanks to a Portland company. On either Oct. 5 or Oct. 6, someone cut a lock on the SHHS girls soccer storage shed and made off with roughly $800 worth of practice equipment, training equipment, medical supplies and other items. Thanks to Score It Soccer and David Ward, much of that gear was replaced. Ward, who is involved with the St. Helens Youth Soccer program, contacted Score It Soccer, which in turn donated soccer balls, cones and a set of soccer nets. Ward estimated the value of Score It Soccer’s donation at about $400. Ward said he purchases a lot of equipment for the youth league. “I wanted to see if the vendor that I use would be interested in helping in this situation. He jumped at the chance to help out,” Ward said. Simon Date, the St. Helens High School girls head coach, was excited about the donation. “They hooked us up great. We’re going to do a special thing for them at halftime of the youth night,” Date said. Youth Night will take place during halftime of the Lions’ Oct. 17 home match against Parkrose. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. The donated equipment replaced essentially all of the soccer gear that was taken. Date said there was also some Sparq Training gear that was taken that will be more difficult to replace. Among the items taken were speed ladders and poles. “It’s harder to replace, more expensive stuff. But on the other side, it’s not going to kill us if we don’t get it back,” Date said. Medical supplies and snacks are also still missing. The girls share the shed with the boys. A divider had recently been put up in the shed to separate the two teams’ equipment. Nothing was taken from the boys’ side. Date and others affiliated with the soccer program have checked second-hand sporting good stores in the area to see if any of the missing items have turned up. So far there is no sign of it. He said everything was labeled with either St. Helens or SHHS. Date requests that if anyone sees any of the missing equipment to contact the SHHS athletic department.

Lions come up one score shy in league shootout BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
MILWAUKIE — It was a boring night for punters on Oct. 11. But for everyone else, the Northwest Oregon Conference game between the St. Helens Lions (2-5, 0-5) and the Rex Putnam Kingsmen (2-5, 2-3) was packed full of excitement. The Lions went three-andout on their first possession and punted. That would be the only punt in a 48-46 shootout in which neither team hesitated to go for it on fourth down. While the Lions had the edge in fourth-down conversions – 4-for-6 compared to the Kingsmen’s 3-for-6 – Putnam’s goal-line interception on a lasttenth-of-a-second Hail Mary sealed the win.

St. Helens freshman Tyler Rea carried the ball eight times for a team-high 78 yards against Putnam on Oct. 11.
“It’s tough to lose these close ones. We’ve got to make more stops on defense and put
up more points on offense, I guess,” said St. Helens senior Gage Bumgardner, the team’s
quarterback who also starts at safety. “We just gotta find a way to stop them like we did in
Cleveland. We’ve got to start winning close ones again.” Bumgardner and the offense did plenty to come away with a win. He completed 14of-26 passes for a career-high 245 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing 12 times for 74 yards and three TDs. The Lions’ offensive line created plenty of running room for SHHS ball carriers. Freshman Tyler Rea led the team with 78 yards on eight carries. His linemen parted the Putnam defense on each of his first three carries, which went for gains of 13, 18 and 15 yards. “The line did really well tonight. I don’t want to say it was the best all year because they’ve done well every other game too, but tonight was exceptional. I had days in the pocket,” Bumgardner said.
Senior Tanner Long added 68 yards on the ground on 16 carries. He also hauled in a 40yard touchdown catch. Junior Justin Helgerson and sophomore Bryce Bumgardner were the leading receivers. Helgerson caught six passes for 92 yards. Bumgardner had 74 yards on three catches, including a touchdown and a big fourth-down conversion. Midway through the third quarter, St. Helens lined up in punt formation. Gage Bumgardner – also the team’s punter – faked the punt and threw a fade to his brother. Bryce made a diving catch for a 21-yard gain on fourth-and-eight. Nine plays later Gage carried it in for a 3yard TD and a 40-27 lead. But defensively, St. Helens See LIONS, Page A15

SCAPPOOSE — The Scappoose Indians (8-9, 4-4) opened their Oct. 9 match against the No. 4 Banks Braves (15-4, 8-0) smoking hot. Unfortunately for the Tribe, that high level of play couldn’t be sustained against the powerful hitting and patient approach of the league leaders. Banks scored 12 straight points midway through the first set, turning a 10-8 deficit into a 20-10 lead. From there, the Braves controlled the rest of the match. Banks won, 25-13, 25-14, 25-11.

– thanks to outstanding play from the back row. While Banks kept driving spikes over the net, Scappoose continued to be in the proper position to make a good pass. Scappoose has two more league matches this season: Both are against teams behind the Indians in the standings. Scappoose hosted Seaside (3-13, 0-8) on Oct. 15 and closes the regular season at Yamhill-Carlton (5-10, 2-6) on Oct. 17. If Scappoose wins both of those matches, the Tribe assures itself at least a thirdplace finish in the Cowapa League, and thus a play-in round berth. – Kyle Boggs
Josie Hanna improved her season-best time in both of the St. Helens Lions’ cross country meets last week. Hanna, a freshman, led the team with a sixth-place finish during a conference meet at Sandy on Oct. 9. The Lion girls finished third in the meet behind Sandy and Liberty. Hanna was then 39th out of 167 runners at the George Fox XC Classic on Oct. 12 with a time of 21:01. St. Helens was 12th out of 21 teams in the varsity competition. “Josie has worked hard and avoided injury. She has earned the position of our number one runner,” said St. Helens coach Gerry Tinkle. “We do have some injuries, but she has been solid in her attendance and performance.” Senior Alyna Habel was the second Lion to cross the finish line on Saturday, coming in 66th with a time of 21:46. The boys finished 20th out of 29 teams in the varsity invitational. Senior Bryan Strang, the team’s top runner, did not compete in the invitational division, instead racing
in the varsity elite race. He was 71st out of 141 runners with a season-best time of 16:53. “Bryan needed to run a race at the elite level to see where he is in his training. I wanted him to run with the best; however, after sitting around all day waiting for his race, he lost his edge,” Tinkle said. “He ran a season-best time, but not what we had wanted. I would have liked him to run on fresh legs, but the logistics of the day prevented that. He’ll be ready for district.” Senior Tanner Boyle led the team finish in the invitational race by placing 39th out of 204 runners. He finished in 17:14. Next in was senior Tanner Matlock, who finished 78th in 17:52. At Sandy, Strang and the SHHS team finished third overall. St. Helens beat Milwaukie but finished behind Liberty and Sandy.

’Cats take down Lions ST. HELENS — For a while on Oct. 10, the St. Helens Lions (0-8, 0-2) and their swampy field were able to slow down the No. 2 Wilsonville Wildcats (6-3, 20). The Lions stymied the Wildcats’ attack early on but weren’t able to string to-
gether enough of an attack to put a goal on the board. Wilsonville ended up taking a 5-0 win. St. Helens hosted the Liberty Falcons (3-6, 1-1) on Oct. 15 for its Youth Soccer Night. The Lions play on the road at Parkrose (6-2, 2-0) at 4 p.m. on Oct. 17.
Scappoose boys finish 12th at George Fox GERVAIS — The Scappoose High School boys cross country team finished 12th out of 29 teams at the George Fox XC Classic at Willamette Mission State Park on Oct. 12. Scappoose was one spot behind league-rival Seaside. Junior Dan Carrier led the boys with a 15th-place finish out of 204 runners. He finished in a career-best time of 16:38. Senior Hunter Hoyt was the next Indian boy to cross the finish line with a time of 17:19. The girls did not enter the team competition, instead splitting the squad between three different races. Senior Charlie Davidson finished 13th out of 130 runners in the varsity elite race. Entering the day, she had not finished under 19 minutes in her three years. She crushed that mark with a time of 18:24. “We seem to be getting better each week and our times would indicate that we are moving in the right direction with our racing and training,” said Scappoose coach David Harley. Junior Rachel Bode led the Indians in the varsity invitational competition. She was 67th out of 167 competitors with a time of 21:48. The Indians have a meet with the Seaside Seagulls and St. Helens Lions at 4 p.m. on Oct. 16 at McCormick Park.

Wilsonville tops SHHS home a free kick for the Lions’ goal. “Ashley scored an absolutely fantastic goal, about 22 yards out,” Date said. “They set up a wall, she bent it around the wall. It went right to left and just whipped in.” The Lions played on the road against the Liberty Falcons (3-6, 1-1) on Oct. 15. St. Helens has been hampered by injuries lately. Junior Kristian Collins was lost for the season a couple weeks ago with a knee injury. After returning from a broken toe, sophomore Gabby Hora suffered a concussion and will be out for an undetermined amount of time. Senior Kiwii Huff also had to leave the field at Wilsonville because of an injury.

WILSONVILLE — A juggernaut sat waiting at Wilsonville High School’s field on Oct. 10. Once the St. Helens Lions (4-4-1, 1-1) and third-ranked Wilsonville Wildcats (6-2-1, 2-0) kicked off, that juggernaut exploded. The Wildcats scored four goals in the match’s first 15 minutes en route to a 9-1 win. “It was unreal. I think every shot they had, they scored in the first 15 minutes,” said St. Helens coach Simon Date. At halftime it was 8-0. But the Lions didn’t let that keep them from competing hard in the second half. “Our girls just kept going. It was encouraging to see. You can tell a lot about a team’s character about how hard they’re willing to work for each other, especially when (the game) is a lost cause,” Date said. St. Helens sophomore Ashley Giesbers knocked

Lions could clinch title this week
BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
Entering this week, the No. 3 St. Helens Lions (15-2, 10-0) held a two-match lead in the Northwest Oregon Conference with four matches left. Three of those four matches are against teams immediately behind the Lions in the standings. St. Helens played on the road against No. 5 Wilsonville (11-3, 8-2) on Oct. 15. A win there would almost assure St. Helens its first ever NWOC title. Should the Lions beat the Wildcats and follow that with a win at home on Oct. 17 against the Putnam Kingsmen (3-10, 37), St. Helens will clinch the NWOC title outright. The Lions remained undefeated in the league last week with a pair of three-set victories. St. Helens beat Sandy (89, 5-5), 25-21, 25-9, 25-16 on Oct. 8. On Oct. 10, the Lions swept the Milwaukie Mustangs with three straight set scores of 25-9.

SHHS: kills get the whole team excited

Helens back row is pressed into duty. A perfect pass to the setter comes down in the front row on the right side. If the pass gets there, odds are the Lions will score. “If the pass comes right to me, then you go to your big hitter,” said senior setter Kylie Reinholdt. But if the Lions are up against someone like Sarah Penner, the Sherwood freshman, the pass might not be right on target. After all, perfection is hard to come by and sometimes mistakes happen, however major or minor. “If it’s a little bit off, it’s easier to set a 10 – which is a back row attack – or an outside [hitter] because you have a better angle to get them set,” Reinholdt said. “Wherever I set the ball, I know that someone will be there to hit it or place it
strategically.” Ideally, the set leads to a kill. Those big hits from the front line get the team excited. “I get more excited for other people than I do for myself. Like when, say, Kali gets a kill or Logan or Taylor, it gets me more excited for them than it does for me,” Susee said. While Kaplan doesn’t get many opportunities to try for kills from the back row, she still feels the excitement. “If the hitter gets a kill, even though you don’t get as much recognition as the hitter, you still feel like she wouldn’t have got that if it wasn’t for me. It started with the pass,” she said. Then the cycle repeats itself. Just as the student section is happy to point out: Bump, set, spike. When you’re watching this team, it looks just as easy as it sounds.

struggled to contain the Putnam offense, especially on fourth down. Two of the Kingsmen’s three fourthdown conversions went for touchdowns – an 18-yard pass with 26 seconds left in the first half and a 43-yard pass as the third quarter ended. That trimmed the Lion lead to 4034. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Kingsmen completed a 53-yard TD pass to take their first lead of the game. St. Helens answered on its next possession. Bumgardner found Helgerson for a 16yard gain on fourth-and-11 to extend the drive. Then Bumgardner couldn’t find an open receiver, and instead scrambled 38 yards for a touchdown. “They covered our two hot reads… A post and an out that weren’t open,” Bumgardner said. “I had a guy in front of me, so I tried to make him miss. They didn’t come up to me like they usually do when I roll out so I just ran. The receivers did great downfield blocks. I think it was Bryce and Justin both had two great downfield blocks.

St. Helens senior quarterback Gage Bumgardner breaks away from a Putnam defender on his way to a 38-yard touchdown run.
“I just had to beat one guy. [Coach] Phillips tells us every day that as running backs – I count as a running back in this offense – we have to make one guy miss. That’s the way the offense is designed,”
Bumgardner said. The Lions went for a twopoint conversion to try turning a 5-point lead into a 7-point lead, but the run was stopped. After the two teams traded turnovers, Putnam moved the
ball into St. Helens territory. On third-and-goal from the 4yard line, the Kingsmen lined up with five wide receivers and no running backs in the backfield. Putnam QB Josey Swain took the shotgun snap and ran four yards up the middle for a TD with 31 seconds left. After taking what looked like a devastating blow, the Lions clawed back with yet another fourth-down conversion – this one on a 35-yard hook-up from Bumgardner to
Helgerson down to the Kingsmen 34-yard line. St. Helens called a timeout with onetenth of a second left in the game, setting the scene for a desperation heave into the end zone. Bumgardner put enough arm into it, but the ball came down into the arms of a Putnam defensive back. “It was pretty obvious they were running a cover-everything prevent defense. We just tried to take a shot down the field,” Bumgardner said. St. Helens will try to
bounce back this week against the No. 6 Parkrose Broncos (5-2, 3-2). The two teams will kick off at 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 in St. Helens for Homecoming night. 1st 2nd 3rd 4th F SHHS 15 12 13 6 46 RPHS 7 6 21 14 48

INDIANS: balanced offensively

KYLE BOGGS / The Chronicle
Scappoose junior Trevor Smith scored two goals in a 3-3 draw against Tillamook last week.
Tribe earns draw against league’s 2nd-place team BY KYLE BOGGS The Chronicle
SCAPPOOSE — After digging themselves a 2-0 hole in the first half, the Scappoose Indians (2-5-2, 21-2) responded with a barrage of three goals in the first 13 minutes of the second half. But the Tillamook Cheesemakers (4-3-2, 3-1-1) mustered a final goal with 14 minutes left in the match. The teams finished in a 3-3 draw on Oct. 9. Scappoose coach Scott Stanton said he told his players at halftime that they were outplaying the Cheesemakers, but just didn’t finish. “They had two decent opportunities, unfortunately for us they both went in. There weren’t too many corrections
to make. It was just, sort of, if you want it you’ve got to prove it in the second half,” Stanton said. The Indians got to work proving it right away. Junior Trevor Smith punched in a cross from junior Colin Kilbourne for the Tribe’s first goal. Soon after, freshman Ian Donaldson chipped a pass over a Tillamook defender. Junior Asa Flanagan ran onto it and sent it into the net to tie the match in the 47th minute. Six minutes later, Smith scored on an assist from Flanagan to take the lead. “I thought we started moving the ball really well, kept up a lot of momentum. Sadly they picked their momentum back up, that’s when they started playing better. We lost more opportunities that way,” Smith said.
Much of the game’s final 25 minutes were played in front of the Scappoose goal. With 14 minutes to go, there was a mess in front of the goal. When the bodies cleared, the Cheesemakers had tied it up. “It is pretty frustrating,” Stanton said. “We were staying up, not getting back to defend. That started to happen and they got one.” A win would have put Scappoose ahead of Tillamook in second place in the Cowapa League. Instead the Tribe stays in third. “We should’ve won, definitely. We definitely have a higher skill level than they did, I think,” Smith said. Scappoose played at Banks (3-5-1, 1-3-1) on Oct. 15. The Indians are at Seaside (2-4-2, 1-2-2) at 7 p.m. on Oct. 17.
GIRLS SOCCER
Hat trick helps top Tillamook TILLAMOOK — The No. 10 Scappoose Indians (6-3, 50) jumped out to a 5-0 lead against the Tillamook Cheesemakers (2-6-1, 0-4-1) on Oct. 9 before finishing out a 5-1 road victory. The Indians pushed four goals across in the first half and added another in the second half. Tillamook’s goal came on a penalty kick. “As a coach, what frustrates me the most is when two girls go in for a challenge aggressively (we do this a lot), win the ball fairly and the opposition falls to the floor. Instead of playing on, the referee feels it is an unfair challenge. This disrupts play and gets very frustrating,” said Scappoose coach Nick Heffernan. The goal was ultimately meaningless, except for the fact that it ended a three-game shutout streak for Scappoose. Sophomore Lucy Davidson continued to terrorize Cowapa League defenses. She scored her second hat trick of the season and now has 11 goals in five league matches this season.
sophomores Fellow Eleanor Jones and Natalie Muth each scored a goal. “All goals came from running through the midfield,” Heffernan said. Scappoose plays both of its matches this week at home. The Indians hosted the Banks Braves (3-3-2, 1-2-2) on Oct. 15, and the No. 8 Seaside Seagulls (7-1-1, 4-1) at 4:15
p.m. on Oct. 17. “What I have noticed about the girls is we play to our strengths when we play against hard opposition. Seaside was the strongest we have played this season and I am excited for Thursday. We come out flying, keeping the ball and playing quick wall passes,” Heffernan said. – Kyle Boggs
Rust caught two of the TD passes, Oman and junior Jacob Wendelschafer had the others. Rust finished the night with seven catches for 103 yards. “I thought Nick played really well, probably our offensive player of the game. He had a drop in the end zone but made some plays in space. Like I said last week, we’ve got to get the ball in his hands a little more. He’s a big receiver, can make people miss,” McNabb said. Oman had six grabs for 97 yards. Clark and junior Johnny Tardif both rushed for touchdowns. While he didn’t get into the end zone, senior running back Carson Davison was effective moving the chains. Davison led the team on the ground with 15 carries for 98 yards. Junior Jake Ford returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown. The Tribe’s final score of the game came on a 7yard pass from junior Joey Krupsky to senior Wade Nelson. The game started with a flurry of scoring. After Loss’

WHO’S NEXT? SEASIDE SEAGULLS After a scorching start to the season, the Seaside Seagulls (6-1, 2-1) have cooled off over the last two weeks. Seaside outscored its first five opponents a combined 239-14 before playing in backto-back one-possession games. Part of that can be contributed to the loss of 5-10, 190-pound fullback Calvin Pollard, who has missed the last two weeks. “I foresee him being back again,” said Scappoose coach Sean McNabb. Pollard (No. 34) keys the Seagulls’ wing T offense. McNabb said 6-0, 170-pound Aaron Tadei (No. 3) is also a good running back. “Seaside does some things real well. We will have to do a good job being disciplined defensively doing our responsibilities,” McNabb said. The Tribe coach said that against Astoria, Seaside looked susceptible to the deep passing game. The Indians could try taking advantage of that with their spread attack. “Offensively we need to be explosive, take advantage of things they’re uncomfortable doing. I feel we match up well on the perimeter, our wide receivers against their defensive backs,” McNabb said. Last meeting: Oct. 19, 2012. Scappoose 28, Seaside 13.
