Marine patrol works to keep the water safe BY JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Education and enforcement are key on the waterways this summer for the Columbia County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol officers. “We have a mixture of boating activities, including fishing, recreation, boats for water skiing and wake boarding, as well as non motorized boats like kayaks,” Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Marine Patrol Sgt. and Program Coordinator Phil Edwards said. “We are mixing all those together in hopes that they will all abide by the rules and be safe. Our primary function is boating safety.” Edwards said many people believe the marine patrol is only an enforcement agency, but the three full time and four part time officers have to conduct a fine balance between enforcement and education. “Obviously, we have total enforcement authority, but through that process we hope to educate people to be more mindful so we don’t have to spend time to enforce those rules,” Edwards said. The numbers of boating conflicts, including crashes and safety issues, have been steady all summer long in Columbia County. “We are seeing a number of them that could be avoided,” he said. Marine Patrol uses three full size boats, including one 29-foot vessel, a 23-foot jet boat, a 24-foot Safe Boat and two personal watercrafts to cover a wide area, including the Columbia River. “We have well over 100 miles of water to patrol and we have people that come from all over and other states to recreate here, especially during the fishing season,” Edwards said. “We contact those folks at the boat ramps and on the water to make sure they are safe.” Edwards said many boaters are looking for fun on the water and when they get into trouble it

is because they have not properly prepared. “The Columbia is a treacherous river,” he said. “If you don’t prepare for the ever-changing environment, you will have problems.” According to Edwards, boaters need to be as defensive on the water as they are behind the wheel of their automobile. “People think differently when

they get out on the water,” he said. They think fun. They aren’t necessarily thinking safety, so as they get out in the open water it’s a different environment for them.” Edwards said that’s where the marine patrol emphasis on education comes in. The patrol conducts thousands of boat safety checks annually. “We are the number one agency

in the state for the number of contacts that we make,” Edwards said. “We conduct thousands of contacts to determine that boat operators have proper safety equipment on board and we certify the boats.” Of particular challenge, according to Edwards, is easy online access to boating registration. “Just about anyone can go online and take the test and get a boating

license,” he said. “So you hope that anyone that does go on the water does so with safety in mind.” Marine patrol will be at full strength over the Labor Day holiday, stepping up enforcement of the waterway rules and regulations. Officers will be looking for impaired boat operators, speeding, and equip­­­­

Advocates for 2nd Amendment St. Helens woman propose preservation ordinance still missing BY CODY MANN cmann@countrymedia.net

County commissioners met before a full audience and heard comments from proponents and opponents of an ordinance that supporters said would act as a localized layer of protection for the 2nd Amendment. The ordinance would counter the state’s recently passed private gun purchase background check law, ultimately allowing the county sheriff to determine which state and federal gun laws should be enforced. Language in the proposed ordinance states that the government shall not authorize or appropriate funds for the purpose of enforcing laws that infringe on the right to bear arms.

CODY MANN/The Chronicle

Commissioner Earl Fisher disagreed with the constitutionality of the proposed 2nd Amendment Preservation Ordinance.

Members of several pro-2nd Amendment groups gathered at the regular meeting of the Columbia County Board of Commissioners on Aug. 17 to present a 2nd Amendment Preservation Ordinance, which they said was already passed in other counties. Representatives from wellknown patriot movement groups Oath Keepers and the Three Percenters spoke to the commission. Chris Brumbles, Columbia County Coordinator of Oath Keepers, led those in favor of the ordinance, commenting first to the commission.

He criticized Gov. Kate Brown for her favorable stance on gun control policies. “Salem is out of control and it has to stop,” Brumbles said. “They’re not representing the people… our rights are not negotiable.” He asked the commission to consider passing the ordinance as presented or to place it on the fall ballot. Rob Taylor, a member of Coos County Watchdogs, traveled from Bandon, Ore. to address the county ­­­­

St. Helens feels the heat

Elevated lead levels found in three St. Helens schools Recent testing discovered elevated lead levels in samples that were taken from drinking water fixtures at three St. Helens schools. Two drinking water fixtures at McBride Elementary, four fixtures at Columbia City Elementary, and two fixtures at St. Helens Middle School yielded samples indicating lead levels higher than 15 parts per billion (ppb). Testing drinking water quality starts with sample testing of lead accumulation in stagnant water. If the sample test shows levels of lead above 15 ppb, those fixtures are immediately shut off and undergo a follow-up test. The water supply remains shut off until those fixtures are remediated and the problem has been fixed. A statement from the school district said due to timing and school starting it was decided to replace fixtures immediately and then retest. Drinking water fixtures in classrooms 4 and 7 at St. Helens Middle School produced elevated lead samples and were tested again, but the retest indicated lead levels

above 15 ppb as well. The district said those fixtures would be capped or replaced. “The elevated tests we received at the middle school were from two sinks that, as I understand, were shut off and not in use for a number of years,” St. Helens School District Superintendent Scot Stockwell said. “Our maintenance department turned them on so they could do a thorough job of testing.” The two classroom drinking water fixtures at McBride Elementary that produced elevated samples were retested and those samples did not meet levels for concern. The fixtures were found in classrooms E1 and E2. “The two elevated results from McBride were retested and came back fine,” Stockwell said. “Given that, I think our results are not unexpected and would not warrant any additional testing beyond best practices.” At Columbia City Elementary, elevated lead levels were found in classrooms 11, 20 and 21 as well as a kitchen sink. The school is scheduled to re-open in the 2017-18 school year. A statement from

the school district said retesting would be one of the steps in preparing the building for occupancy. “With opening Columbia City School back up in 201718 school year we will make sure all fixtures are within EPA standards,” Stockwell said. “We were not really surprised Columbia City School came in with a few elevated tests because the school has not been in use for a few years; when water sits in the fixtures for extended periods of time is when it becomes contaminated.” Elevated lead levels were not found in the drinking water fixtures at Lewis & Clark Elementary, St. Helens High School, Columbia County Education Campus, Columbia River Youth Corp, Sacagawea Health Clinic, the district maintenance shop or the district’s central office. “I think it is safe to say the St. Helens School District, along with the rest of the state, will be regularly testing water for levels of lead and other contaminants,” Stockwell said.

Walkers take to the streets to fight suicide Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, yet suicide is preventable. More than 500 people throughout Columbia County are expected to participate in the first annual Columbia County Out of the Darkness Community Walk hosted by The Scappoose Police Department & Columbia Community Mental Health at 11 a.m., Sept.10 at Scappoose High School. Registration and check-in begins at 9 a.m. This fundraising walk supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s local and national education and advocacy programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual rate of suicide by 20% by 2025. The public is invited to

walk to raise awareness about this important mental health issue. Suicide touches one in five American families. The goal is to reduce stigma, save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. The Columbia County walk is one of more than 375 Out of the Darkness Community Walks being held nationwide this year. The walks are expected to unite more than 250,000 walkers and raise millions for suicide prevention efforts. With this walk being the first annual Out of the Darkness Walk the Scappoose Police Department and Columbia Community Mental Health hopes to achieve their goal and raise over $7,500 and around

500 participants or more. Speakers at the Out of the Darkness Walk will include Scappoose Police Chief Norm Miller, Lines for Life, and United Way to name a few. “These walks are about turning hope into action,” said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. “Suicide is a serious problem, but it’s a problem we can solve. The research has shown us how to fight suicide, and if we keep up the fight the science is only going to get better, our culture will get smarter about mental health, and we’ll be able to save more people from dying from depression and other mental health conditions.”

An intense heat wave this past week meant uncomfortable temperatures for Columbia County. The heat wave was stronger than most due to limited overnight cooling. Health authorities said the intense heat was especially dangerous for the elderly and very young children. Heat stroke results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and can kill or cause damage the brain or other internal organs.

Veterans stand down at fairgrounds If you are a veteran with questions that you need answers to, come talk with service providers from the Department of Veteran Affairs and other agencies at the Columbia County Fairgrounds Pavilion from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Sept. 16. There will be assistance for issues with

homelessness, mental health, job placement, compensation and education. There will also be veteran groups that work with and do events for veterans as well as veteran organizations to get involved in. Representatives from programs that provide activities for children and

youth of active military and veterans will also be present. All veterans who attend will receive a computerized eye exam courtesy of the St. Helens Lions Club. Come meet other veterans, have a good meal, and find out what is new and available for you in the veteran community.

Time running out on Oregon taxpayers with expired refund checks Thousands of taxpayers across Oregon have tax refund money awaiting them, but it’ll soon be harder to get. After state checks expire, two years from their issuance date, there’s a limited window of time to get them reissued before additional requirements apply. “We still have more than 5,000 taxpayers with almost $1 million in expired checks,” Oregon Department of Revenue (ODR) accounting manager Steve Bergmann said. “We want these taxpayers to get their money before they have to take additional steps.”

Revenue sent letters to nearly 7,000 taxpayers in July, warning them that their checks are expired and they need to request a new check before the amount is transferred to the Department of State Lands (DSL). Some have already asked for a reissued check, claiming their portion of almost $1.5 million in expired refunds that ODR identified in July. If you got a notification letter from Revenue, Bergmann said you should sign the notification letter and return it as soon as possible to have your check reissued.

Each October, ODR sends any expired check amounts to the Unclaimed Property Program at DSL. To claim property from DSL, taxpayers need a notarized claim and copies of identity-verifying documents. Bergmann said the most common reasons for not cashing a refund check are misplacement of the check and having an incorrect mailing address on file with ODR. He said taxpayers should notify ODR of any address changes to ensure receipt of all tax-related correspondence.

County employment dipped by 40 in July Seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment in Columbia County dipped by 40 jobs in July to 10,640. Seasonally adjusted figures compare expected changes with actual changes. A loss of 320 jobs is normal for the month, but the county shed 360. The private sector grew by 20 jobs, and government employment fell by 380 as the summer school break took effect. Construction added 40 jobs, and leisure

and hospitality grew by 30. Trade, transportation, and utilities cut 60 jobs. Other industries had smaller changes. Total nonfarm employment in July was 310 more than one year before, a gain of 3.0 percent. The private sector accounted for 250 jobs gained, and government added 60 jobs over the year. Retail trade added 110 jobs over the year, education and health services grew by 70, and leisure and

hospitality gained 50 jobs. Nondurable goods manufacturing cut 60 jobs. State government was up 40 jobs over the year. Columbia County’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 6.4 percent in July, essentially unchanged from the previous month of 6.1 percent, but lower than the year before at 7.3 percent. The rate was higher than the statewide rate 5.2 percent and the national rate 4.9 percent.

CRF&R fights Tugboat fire at Rainier docks Firefighters responded to a report of a fire in the engine room onboard a docked tugboat. The engine room fire on the tugboat, which was docked in Rainier, took nearly an hour to extinguish. On Aug. 21, Columbia River Fire & Rescue responded to the reported boat fire and found smoke coming from the inside of the vessel. Damage from the fire was limited to the engine’s turbo, with smoke and heat damage throughout the engine room. Firefighters overhauled the fire area and ventilated the boat. More than a dozen firefighters were called to the scene. Columbia River Fire & Rescue firefighters were assisted by Longview Fire Department, Scappoose Fire District, and the US Coast Guard. A Clark County Fire boat was also dispatched, but was cancelled prior to arrival. There were no injuries reported.

just south of the Boise mill property. It appears that a fire was set either deliberately or accidentally on the small wood dock by an unknown person. The fire was extremely small and did not cause any appreciable damage to the dock. The fire was consistent with a cigarette-caused fire. A small, unauthorized campfire ring was also located near the dock and was still warm from prior use. Contact the Port of St. Helens for further information. 5/28/15 Structure fire: 735 Matzen St., St. Helens. This came in as a structure fire but was actually a stove issue. The residents had started the stove cleaning cycle and this caused a good deal of smoke and fumes due to a stove that had not been cleaned recently.

This was a significant structure fire involving a metal barn, approximately 40x50 in size. The barn was used for raising chickens (chicks), storage including a 1978 Chevy Camaro, and legal marijuana growing. The cause of the fire was assigned to a heating lamp system used to incubate and warm the chicks. There was no extension to the home that is located close by. Loss is assigned at about $20,000 but may be more depending on insurance estimates.

Don’t let your guard down on wildfires Introducing the Scappoose Temperatures may have moderated somewhat, but Gov. Kate Brown and State Fire Marshal Jim Walker want you to remain vigilant in preventing wildfire and reporting arsonists. “Oregon continues to experience extremely dry conditions where any stray spark could spell disaster in any area of the state,” Walker said. The Oregon Department of Forestry has reported that since Jan. 1, 2016, there have been 486 wildfires caused by humans with at least one due to arson. This is an increase over the ten-year average. Fourteen fires that have broken out in central Oregon over the past few weeks are being investigated as arson, including the Withers Fire north of Paisley that has scorched more than 3,400 acres.

“While you and your family are enjoying Oregon’s great outdoors, I encourage you to not only be fire safe, but be alert to any suspicious behavior and report it to local

law enforcement officials,” Brown said. Tips can be made by calling the Oregon State Police at 503-375-3555. Call 911 in case of an emergency.

Obituaries Mary M. Newell Dickinson October 22, 1947 ~ August 20, 2016 Mary M. Newell Dickinson, 68, of St. Helens, Ore., passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 20, 2016. Mary was born on Oct. 22, 1947, in Akron, Ohio, to parents Walter “Norris” and Leola M Newell. She attended school in Ohio and went on to Kent State to receive a Master of Education. Mary, a life-long learner, then furthered her education at Long Island University earning a Master of Business Administration. She was a gifted teacher and reading specialist. She held Director positions at Apollo College and Trend College. Mary retired from College of Emergency Services as the Dean and Chief Financial Officer. Mary married Ross Dickinson, the love of her life, on Feb. 3, 2007. With the marriage came two adult children and two granddaughters. Mary loved being a grandmother. She was so proud of her grandchildren and enjoyed watching them swim. In addition to family life, Mary had a deep love

for music. She played the clarinet and was a member of several bands, including The Beat Goes On Marching Band, One More Time Around Marching Band, Portland Community Wind Band, and The Power Pep Band. Mary is survived by her husband, Ross; sister, Jane Krejci of Ohio; niece, Cheryl of Ohio, step-children Dana (Sarah) Dickinson of Eugene, Carla (Tom) Reynolds of Bend, Ore.; granddaughters, Callie and Danae Reynolds of Bend, Ore.; several cousins; a great-niece; two great nephews and by her beloved dog, Greta. She was preceded in death by her parents; nephew, Jerry and many beloved dogs and cats. Memorial Services will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 28, 2016, at Bethany Lutheran Church in Warren, Ore. Services will be immediately followed by ice cream and live music, courtesy of The Beat Goes On Marching Band.

ment violations among other issues. Violators could face hundreds of dollars in fines depending on the violation. “Tickets are a way to educate and motivate operators to change behavior,” Edwards said. “If we believe the ticket is best, that’s what we will do. No one wants a negative contact on the water, however, they happen fre-

quently. People don’t like to have their fun disturbed but sometimes we have to be that piece of the equation because it can be a matter of life and safety.” This year the Marine Patrol has conducted 6,044 boating contacts issued 436 written warnings and139 citations. The citations include: Failure to have or possess valid registration of numbers, no boaters education card, failure to possess required equipment (such has life jackets, fire extinguish-

ers, etc), violation of the slow, no wake rule, unsafe operation of a boat, and violation of the Blue Light Law (causing wake while passing by a law enforcement vessel displaying its overhead emergency blue lights). “We also have written criminal citations for fleeing/attempting to elude in a boat and reckless operation of a boat,” Edwards said. Edwards said while the Columbia County Marine Patrol is based in St. Helens, the sheriff’s office

continues to look for opportunities to increase its patrol base. “When the wind is blowing and the water is choppy it is more difficult to get our boats to Rainier and Clatskanie in a reasonable time,” Edwards said. “We want to look at any opportunity that we have to acquire another boat and a boat house and to reposition our manpower in that region. We could make a huge difference with our patrol boats at Rainier and Clatskanie.”

Teevin Bros. snags grant for river moorings Oregon Transportation Commission approved a $750,000 grant to Teevin Bros Land and Timber Company in Rainier at its meeting Aug. 19. The grant was one of 39 multimodal projects the commission approved through its ConnectOregon program, totaling $49,518,000. The grant will pay for construction of seven mooring pilings in the Columbia River near Teevin’s log export yard. The pilings will facilitate ocean-going

tugs and barges transiting between Portland and Astoria on the Columbia River, Teevin said in its application. Total cost of the project is $1.125 million. OTC received 75 projects for consideration in this round of funding. The final review committee approved 39 of the applications for funding. Teevin’s project was the only one approved from Columbia County, however, Port of Astoria received $1.54 million to rehabilitate Pier Two. DON PATTERSON/The Chronicle

Sports & Outdoors Rainier driver turns last place start into first place finish BY MIKE WEBER For the Chronicle

Red hot and rolling, which is a phrase often linked to the Portland Trailblazers NBA basketball team, could best describe the performance that Rainier’s Sean Fox had on Aug. 20.. Fox drove his Cascade Concrete Products sponsored Chevrolet Monte Carlo to a sweep of Sportsman Division events in the Scappoose Jackpot Market sponsored race at River City Speedway in St. Helens. Fox took first place in qualifying (15.55 seconds) and he won the trophy dash, heat race and main event with his 2010 Chevy. The exceptional effort by Fox propelled him atop the point standings as he overtook previous leader Ray Elwess of Gresham, who had an unfortunate DNF (didn’t finish) and was unable to compete in the main. St. Helens drivers Bernie Lujan, Scott McMullen, Shawn Dorie and “Bad Boy” Bob Berg also had impressive performances as they each recorded top-three main event finishes. In the Pacific Mini Sprint Division, Vancouver’s Mike Opoka also recorded a clean sweep. Opoka, 64, drove his M & Z Properties/Hyper Racing winged sprint car to victories in the dash, heat and main. He also was the fastest in qualifying (14.57 seconds). Fox started last in the seven-car Sportsman main and he maneuvered up to first place by lap 16. Fox remained in front for the remainder of the 25-lap race and won by a straightaway length over Woodland’s Devon Reed. It marked the sixth top-three finish for Fox

and third win for the Dave’s Superior Design Top Shop (Longview) sponsored race team, which also includes his co-driver and father, Dan Fox of Warren. “My dad told me to be patient, so I just tried to drive conservatively and eventually I was able to work my way towards the front,” said Sean Fox. “Once I got the lead, I never looked back and then I just took care of business, so it was a really good night. It was the first time that I’ve driven the car in about five weeks. Dad has been driving the car the last few weeks and he got a win and a third place in the last two races, but it was my turn to drive. I had some trouble with my brakes, but fortunately I was able to make things work out with the car and get the win.” Lujan led most of the way in the Street Stock main and took the checkered flag to get his second win this year with the 1976 Buick Regal owned by Dennis Daniels of Rainier. Lujan, 47, has notched a total of five topthree finishes and he’s a close second in the division standings to current leader and defending champion Justin McMullen of St. Helens. Justin’s dad, Scott McMullen, maneuvered up from a 12th place starting position and he was runnerup with his McMullen Water System 1979 Chevy Malibu. The fully inverted No. 12 car field positioned the fastest cars from qualifying in the rear of the field, with the slowest qualifiers up front at the beginning of the race. It was the second win and fifth top-five for Scott McMullen, who is ranked third behind Lujan in the standings. Justin McMullen, winner of the

previous two races (July 30, Aug. 13) had a broken power steering belt on his Chevy Malibu, which slowed his car and he finished seventh. “Yes, it was a pretty good day for me, so I don’t have any complaints,” said Scott McMullen, who was the fastest qualifier for the first time this year on the quarter-mile clay oval at 16.26 seconds. “Justin and I were the two fastest qualifiers, so we had to start in the back which made it an interesting race. It was sure a hot day (96 degrees) but I had fun and hot weather is something that’s just part of racing.” Longview’s Jason Scheibel won the Four-Cylinder main and Joel Davis took second, with Berg third in his Cozy Lawn Maintenance/ Eaton’s Tire & Service Center 1997 Dodge Neon. Natasha Rye of Warren, notched a seventh place finish in her Alliance Automotive 2007 Chevy Cobalt. Berg leads the series standings and Rye is ranked fourth. Dorie was a two-time winner as he won the Dwarf Car Division trophy dash and heat race. Longview’s Andy Lemmons took the checkered flag in the Dwarf Car main in his Selix Cabinets sponsored open-wheel twothird scale replica race car. Dustin Asher won the Tracer Division (age 13-16) main and Vancouver’s Robert Jenner won the Modified Division main. The next event on the Columbia County Racing Association schedule is the Reser’s Fine Foods/Alliance Automotive Labor Day weekend races Sept. 3-4. The season concludes with the Sept. 17 O’Reilly’s Auto Parts Championship race.

Growing up Fast: three generations of drivers at River City Speedway BY CLAUDE AKINS

cakins@countrymedia.net

If you were at the St. Helens River City Speedway this past weekend, you would have seen an orange, No. 18 2007 Chevy Cobalt speeding along the dirt track. You would have seen a woman at the wheel with a “Fast” logo stickered to the driver’s side. What you saw, then, was a little slice of racing history. “I started racing May of this year,” Natasha Rye said, “but I’ve been out here my whole life. I’ve been working here for nine

years – so I’ve always been out here.” “Everybody here is pretty much my family because I’ve grown up with them,” she said. And her family – literally – has been here for generations. That logo, Fast, is actually a tribute to her grandfather. His name was Bud Fast. On the side of his car it read B. Fast: a perfect name for a race car driver. He was a natural talent. He raced at Deer Island and the Portland Speedway. Once River City Speedway was built in 1986, Bud Fast

began to dabble at the St. Helens track. And Bud, for his part, encouraged his daughter, Tricia Brittain, to race. “He was extremely proud,” Brittain said. “But my dad was one of those, ‘if you’re going to race in a men’s sport you take what you get, and you don’t complain about it. If the boys run you rough, the boys run you rough. If you love it, you take it.’” She took her dad’s advice, winning sportsmanship awards over the years. But those weren’t the only awards she won. Her skill

on the racetrack earned her a woman’s championship in 1998 and 2001. In 2008, she beat the boys, becoming the first woman to win the men’s sportsman race. Natasha, though new to racing, is adapting quickly. She races with her husband, Darrin, and the duo is 4th in total points at the speedway. Darrin found the car at a junkyard in Eugene and rebuilt it himself – that car, to date, has won a race and a trophy dash. “I love everyday of it,” Darrin said, referring to racing with his wife. “You get to go home every day

and work on it. And once Natasha learns how to drive it faster, she’ll be winning races.” In the short four months that she has been racing she has decreased her laptime by two seconds, from 19.8 to 17.8. She grew up as a “track rat,” as her mother says, and, according to her, the sport has always been something she has wanted to learn. She fell in love with racing the second she sat in the seat. But, of course, learning to race – even if it’s in the blood – takes some time. “It just feels bumpy and

fast. It’s hard - I feel like I’m losing control of the steering wheel sometimes but I’m not,” Natasha said. “It’s fun. It gives me the adrenaline that I love. Even if I’m not doing good, I feel great because I’m so hyped about what I just did.” And that hype isn’t done with Natasha and Darrin. When I asked if their son, now 18 months old, would race when he came to age, Natasha and Darrin laughed and said they’re already talking about getting him a go-cart. So even though the name is gone, this family will always be fast.

Though sports science is at its all-time best, and will only continue to improve, a dynamic environment such as the football field will always contain variables that are simply unforeseeable. Weather conditions, injury and – though this is rarer – a player simply exceeding everything they had done in the past over the course of a game or a play are such unpredictable things. A team’s schedule, however, is the foundation

for any season prediction, so that’s where we’ll start for the Lions. The Lions strength of schedule (SOS) is not too daunting. The combined record of their opponents is 43-46. That number, however, is inflated by two matchups: the Scappoose and Hood River Valley games, which coincidentally are the first two games of the season. Scappoose and Hood River Valley both play in smaller leagues, with lower levels of competition. And both had better records than St. Helens’ opponent’s average, which was a timid 4.7-5.1. Of course, the Lions should

As the St. Helens Lions practice, the future is all but certain.

not sleep on these teams, and an unfocused team could lose against anyone. A strong Scappoose team, especially playing a grudge match, can certainly surprise the Lions, though home field advantage will give St. Helens a definite edge. If we focus only on conference games, the combined record drops to 28-39. It is important to note that in conference play there are only so many wins to go around, but the sub-500 combined record of the conference points to a subtle fact: the NWOC is a top heavy conference. That top, however, was considerably trimmed this

offseason, as Liberty made the leap from 5A to 6A. The reduced crowd at the top of the conference will provide an opening for St. Helens, Putnam, Parkrose, or La Salle to enter into that upper rung. Wilsonville is the preseason favorite to take the conference. As a junior, quarterback Connor Neville was first team all-NWOC, throwing for 37 touchdowns and 3,110 yards. It’s scary to think last year’s 10-2 team will improve, but it seems likely: linebacker Kaden Floyd, who missed last season, will be back. Dominant as a sophomore, he projects

to be a defensive force his senior year. St. Helens plays at Wilsonville on Sept. 23 and the very next week will host perennial threat Hillsboro, making that two-week stretch the most important of the entire season. That Sept. 30 game will likely be a major game for both squads and could determine the ultimate seeding of the NWOC playoffs. The Lions have one more home game than away game, and will never be on the road two games in a row for the entire season. That in itself is an immense advantage, and depending on the support they receive from the bleach-

ers, it could play a decisive role. With that said, the Lions should have a better season than they did in 2015, given the added experience, a healthier Myles Terry, and a home-heavy schedule. It is fair to say a repeat 6-4 season would be a disappointment. If the team stays focused – and especially if they can beat Hillsboro - the second seed in NWOC is there for the taking. Prediction: St. Helens plays strong, but loses to Wilsonville, Hillsboro and drops a winnable game, finishing 7-3 and placing third in the playoffs.

Hood to Coast set to take place this Friday and Saturday Expect some delays this Friday and Saturday as the Providence Hood to Coast relay race comes through town via Highway 30. The race begins at the historic Timberline Lodge – the tallest peak in Oregon – through the city of Portland, over the Oregon Coast Range, before finishing at the coast in Seaside. The Providence Hood to Coast Relay touts itself as the most popular relay race in the world with as much as 20,000 runners and walkers participating in three events: Hood to Coast Relay, Portland to Coast Walk Relay, and the Portland to Coast High School Challenge. This year, Hood to Coast expects to have participants not only from all 50 U.S. states but from 35 countries as well. Hood to Coast is organized by teams and open to all interested competitors. According to their website, for the past 18

years the largest event, the Hood to Coast Relay, has reached its limit of 1,050 twelve-person teams on the very first day of registration. The Portland to Coast Walk and High School Challenge are limited to 400 and 50 teams respectively. Comedian Kevin Hart will be participating in the race this year. Hart, who has advocated for health and fitness for years, and, in partnership with Nike, has released cross-training shoes, joked about the event in a Facebook post. “You never know when a surprise 198-mile potentially life-threatening active volcano relay race is going to sneak up on you. And this is one of those moments,” Hart said. General public race-related and community questions and concerns can be answered by calling the toll free number, (844) 428-8327.
