SINCE 1979 • VOLUME 40, NO. 31 SECTION A MAY 3, 2019 $1.00 ‘The Legend’ Coach Anagnos By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Craig Nicholas expected the death of his longtime friend and co-coach Ted Anagnos to be, somehow, more epic. “I always fi gured he’d be wrestling a gorilla on some volcano some place and the mountain would explode and that’s how it would happen. He’s was too dang young.” Nicholas said. In the end, Anagnos died after a brief and intense battle with cancer at age 63. He is survived by his wife, Susan, and son, Christopher and Tony. Anagnos was a volunteer coach, mentor and community cheerleader with an unmatched passion for contributing to the students making their way through McNary High School. “He always could see the 1956 — 2019 “ We weren’t on the same page or same paragraph, we were on the same dang sentence.” — Craig Nicholas photo courtesy The Anagnos Swancutt Group bigger picture and was a great father and husband. There were dozens of kids he got into school or got through school and who wouldn’t be the people they are today without him,” said Nicholas. Anagnos was, at times, a larger-than-life personality. Short in stature, he had a booming, raspy voice that was unmissable on football and baseball fi elds and in the gym at McNary High School. It was a voice he deployed as frequently in praise as it was in admonishment. Nicholas said Anagnos was the one to smooth things over when things got tense in the baseball dugout, and that a wink and atta-boy from Anagnos went a long way to salving any perceived wounds. Anagnos and Nicholas were both part of the coaching staff that helped lead McNary to two football state championships.Nicholas served as defensive coordinator and Anagnos as lineman coach. “We weren’t on the same page or same paragraph, we were on the same dang sentence,” Nicholas said. That was possible because the two spent every Saturday watching fi lm in their own homes and calling each other to consult about what could be done to face coming challenges or step up the Celtic game.

HOWALD Of the Keizertimes A man who fl ed from police into the attic space of an apartment complex on Appleblossom Drive North prompted law enforcement offi cers to evacuate the entire complex for three hours while they executed a search. The man was eventually arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail. The incident began at 3:45 p.m. Monday, April 29, when Keizer Police Department (KPD) offi cers went to an apartment at 148 Appleblossom Drive looking for a man wanted on outstanding warrants from numerous agencies in addition to pending charges from local departments. The suspect was known to fl ee from police and resist arrest. Offi cers questioned a female occupant where they believed the man was staying and she gave consent to search the apartment. Inside, offi cers Grammy winner joins Celt choir n o t i c e d insulation on the fl oor below an access point to the attic and found an empty gun E. Quall case for a Glock handgun. A shoe fell to the fl oor when offi cers opened the door to the attic. Offi cers rec- ognized the shoe from the last time the suspect fl ed police, said Sgt. Greg Barber, of KPD. There is no fi rewall between units at the apartment com- plex, which meant the man potentially had access to mul- tiple exit points. With the suspect considered armed, KPD and Salem Police Department offi cers evacuated the rest of the complex. Cameras were then used to try to locate the suspect in the attic, verbal commands went unanswered. Eventually, a K-9 unit was Please see ATTIC Page A7 #trashtag PAGE A3 New column PAGE A10
