Looking Back: A Glimpse Through The Chronicle's Files page A7 November 12, 2006 20 Years Ago, November 12,1986 It may be the closest to a world premiere that The Dalles will ever have and a number of the people who appeared as extras in a movie shot here last summer plan to take advantage of the situation. "The Penalty Phase," a two-hour courtroom drama will be shown on CBS at 9 p.m. on November 18. Locally many of the extras will gather an hour earlier at the Portage Inn and the Tapadera to watch the movie on big screen television. There will be no reservations for "the event but seating will be on a first come, first served basis at both locations. Several members of the Wahtonka Eagles football team were named first-team all conference selections by Columbia Basin Conference coaches recently. Wahtonka seniors Jamie Baucum, Scott Carty and Jay Collier were named to the first team on both offense and defense.

Michael J. McMahon of St. Peters Church, The Dalles. Msgr. McMahon, writing as dean of the Western Deanery and diocese consultor, urged parishioners to be liberal in "giving to God." Gerald Doolen, son of Margaret McVey and C.E. McVey of The Dalles, is enrolled for 66-67 at Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis, the Indiana school reported. Christian Theological Seminary is a graduate educational institution for the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ). State Sen. Ben Musa of The Dalles was the luncheon speaker Friday at a regional meeting held here by the Oregon State Life Underwriters Association, with members of Mid-Columbia Underwriters as the hosts. Officers came from Chapters in the northern half of Oregon. The sessions were held at the Blue Room at Hotel Dalles. 60 Years Ago, November 12, 1946 Stemming and pitting of cherries, for sale to maraschino and glace markets, is now in full swing in The Dalles, a survey revealed today. The Dalles Cooperative Growers recently completed the stemming and pitting of 1,500 barrels of cherries. The Columbia Growers Cooperative is now at work on another 2,000 barrels of fruit and Hudson-Duncan is at work on 17,000 barrels of cherries, some of them shipped in from other fruit producing areas of the Pacific Northwest. Hood River's superior power, plus the superlative passing of halfback Don O'Leary, produced a 39-0 victory over The Dalles Indians yesterday afternoon, but the Blue Dragons powerhouse was held impotent during most of the first half of the game. Two boatmen from The Dalles, Dr. F.A. Perkins and R.A. Brouhard, at 6:10 yesterday evening recovered the body of a two-year-old boy, who had fallen from a boat dock into Northwestern Lake and drowned. The lake is near White Salmon, Wash. The boy was from Portland. The Dalles men found his body about 1,000 feet from the dock. 80 Years Ago, November 12, 1926 Meeting a resistance which almost swept the team from its feet by its unexpectedness, and having its runners nailed in their tracks time after time by a defense which broke through the hitherto impregnable Indian line, The Dalles High School football eleven battled its way to the end of a scoreless game against Hood River High on Gibson field yesterday. Construction of a meat packing plant in The Dalles is being contemplated by the Huston brothers, according to Leonard J. Huston. While plans have not been fully developed, the Hustons expect to spend in the neighborhood of $20,000 in the erection and equipping of a modern packing plant. The Vogt estate will begin construction soon of a modern store building on Washington street in the space now occupied by the Williams clothing works, the Columbia Realty and Loan company and the Hartwig Floral Shop. 100 Years Ago, November 12, 1906 The range in the Shaniko section of the county is in worse condition this fall than in years past, and sheep and cattlemen are certainly having a hard time of it trying to find grass sufficient to keep their stock alive until the snow falls, when feeding will begin. The anxiety of three young men who came to this city from Trout Lake to meet their German brides Saturday, ended yesterday morning when No. 5 pulled in at the depot, or was partially pulled in by the anxious swains, and the three red cheeked, sweet faced, German girls stepped off and were fairly "gobbled up" by the advent lovers who didn't even hesitate to make choices, but grabbed the first one who came his way. The local team of gridiron champions returned from Corvallis last night in the shadow of their first defeat, but they did not feel so bad about the defeat as they did about the way they were treated and entertained by the Farmer Bunch against which they played. Manager Stubling says they [sic] best team won, and that The Columbias could not have won - all they could do or expected to do was to play a scoreless game and he feels they would have done this had they received full justice at the hands of Referee Bilkington, who, by the way, played Fullback for the O.A.C.'s (Oregon Agricultural College) last year and is naturally partial to their cause. After the game, there was a party given for the O.A.C. team by the co-eds, but The Columbias were not wanted. They were informed there was a dance for them across from the hotel, and on presenting themselves, were asked to "dig up" 50 cents "per capita."
