Panthers get signature win
1946: Vets may get
government jobs
Redmond team finds
groove in 10-9 upset
of Bend High

REDMOND — With the
spring season winding down
to its final few days, Redmond
baseball had been looking for
a win.
Not just any win, rather a
win that could vault the pro-
gram forward, according to
Panthers coach Stan Manley.
That signature victory came
last week at Redmond High
School in a 10-9 triumph over
Bend High, a team that entered
the game as one of Central Or-
egon’s hottest teams, having
won its previous six games.
“Bend is always one of those
teams that you need to beat
to go somewhere,” said senior
Isaac Erhardt, who had three
hits and three RBIs in the win.
“I think this win is going to
help the rest of the season.”
For a team entering the
game with only three victories
in 10 games, the Panthers (4-7
overall) were loose — cracking
jokes and enjoying the sunny
spring day.
“I felt like today we were
having fun,” said junior Bren-
den Eberle, whose three-run
home run punctuated the five-
run opening inning for the
Panthers.
“I was like, I hope that leaves
because I don’t know if I can
hit one any farther,” Eberle said
of his home run. “My approach
was to hit the first pitch fast-
balls — I just took a good hack
at it.”
Bend (8-4 overall) quickly
began chipping away at Red-
mond’s four-run lead after the
first inning.
The Lava Bears added two
runs in the second inning, an-
other in the third, then took an
8-6 lead in the fourth inning
on a Ryland Gustafson two-
run dinger.
As the lead evaporated, the
young Panthers, with three
freshmen in their lineup, were
tested — especially freshmen
pitchers Joseph Teixeira and
Ryker Altizer, who came out
of the bullpen to pitch the final
four innings.
After Gustafson’s go-ahead
home run, the freshmen pitch-
ers allowed just one run to
keep the Panthers within strik-
ing distance.

“There is a lot of learning
going on,” Stanley said. “Not
just learning the game, but
learning how to compete be-
cause they haven’t been at the
varsity level. Our freshmen
pitchers showed a lot of poise.”
It was far from a clean game
for the Panthers. They com-
mitted five errors in the field,
their pitchers hit four Bend
batters and only five of Bend’s
nine runs were earned.
Clutch hitting started the
late rally for the Panthers.
Eberle and Erhardt both drove
in runs in the fifth inning to
help the Panthers retake the
lead, 9-8.
A sacrifice fly off the bat of
senior Austin Carter provided
what would prove to be the
winning run in the bottom of
the sixth inning. Redmond
held the Lava Bears scoreless
in the top of the seventh to end
the game.
“We hit the ball in the right
spots, moved the runners over,”
Erhardt said. “I definitely have
to say that the hits were some-
thing that got momentum go-
ing.”
With three games left in the
shortened season, all against
Intermountain Conference
opponents, the Panthers hope
that the momentum from the
signature win carries into the
final week and into the sum-
mer.
“They didn’t just roll over,
that would have been really
easy to do,” Manley said. “Bend
chipped away and took the
lead, then we stopped it and
responded. That is what good
teams do, and that is what we
want to be one day, a good
team. I think we are getting
close to that.”

Certain basic requirements

May 19, 1971 — Chamber
tourist center proposed
Construction of a tourist
information center and Red-
mond Chamber of Com-
merce office as a community
action project was proposed
at the Chamber’s noon lun-
cheon meeting yesterday by a
delegation of Jaycees.
The proposal was en-
dorsed, with a suggestion that
a Chamber-appointed com-
mittee meet with the Jaycee
coordinating group to iron
out details, and that the Jay-
cees appear before the City
Council regarding the legality
of the planned site.
As proposed by the Red-
mond Jaycees, the 24 X 28
wooden structure would be
located atop the lava out-
cropping near the sign in Ray
Johnson Park, at the south
end of Redmond.
The modern building,
designed to blend into the
natural surroundings of the
park, would be comprised
of a large reception area for
tourists and visitors, an office
for the Chamber secretary,
small board room for various
Chamber and community
meetings, storage, kitchenette
and rest facilities.
If desired, public restroom
facilities could be attached
to the building by the city to
replace similar accommoda-
tions destroyed by vandals.
Jaycees point out that the
restrooms would be less sus-
ceptible to vandalism, since
the Chamber office would be
manned much of the time.
However, throughout the
presentation, it was stressed
that the Jaycees were propos-
ing the project as a commu-
nity-wide effort, and not as
a Jaycee project. They were
willing to coordinate the un-
dertaking “to get it done,” but
indicated that all segments of
the community needed to get
involved in planning, dona-
tions of materials and actual
work.
Blueprints, developed by
Jaycee member Michael C.
Sellard, were offered as a sug-
gested approach, with the
door left open for alterations
in overall design or details of
construction.

GREAT FALLS, Mont. — A
pickup truck belonging to a
Great Falls woman who has
been missing for nearly three
years was found in the Mis-
souri River with a body inside
it last week, Cascade County
Sheriff Jesse Slaughter said.
The body has not been iden-
tified, Slaughter told the Great
Falls Tribune.
A volunteer organization
based in Redmond, that helps
remove vehicles from bodies
of water, arrived in Great Falls
on May 10 to help search for
Tammy Goff, 59, who went
missing in 2018.
Goff’s pickup was located
Friday by the Adventures With
Purpose team, which includes
Jared Leisek, Doug Bishop and
Sam Ginn.
The team and the sheriff’s
office removed the pickup
from the water.
Slaughter said he would re-
lease further information on

May 9, 1921 — Must Get
Railroad Before They Call
“Slick” a Hick
Redmond had defeated
Prineville the Sunday before
by a decisive score and the in-
dications were that the same
thing was to happen last
Sunday on Prineville’s home
grounds when ardent rooters
began calling Redmond play-
ers “clover-kickers,” hicks and
rubes.
But they couldn’t call
Leonard (“Slick”) Warner any
of these appellations. As he
came to bat, they tried it.
“Aw, go get a railroad!” he
told them.

May 23, 1946 — Veterans
May Get Government Jobs
How veterans may apply
and qualify for 800,000 gov-
ernment war-service jobs to
be thrown open to compe-
tition in the next two years
is explained in a series of ar-
ticles now appearing in the
“Army Times,” published
weekly in Washington, D.C.
Hugh E. Rosson, Oregon
director of veterans’ affairs,
cited certain features of the
civil service job program as
being of interest to veterans
locally.
“Soon there will be ap-
proximately 800,000 federal
jobs for which veterans can
qualify by meeting minimum
qualifications and utilizing
the five or ten-point pref-
erence to which their war
service entitles them,” the
article states. Permanent ap-
pointments are being made
to these jobs during the two-
year period between March 1,
1946, and February 28, 1948,
and the government expects
most of them will go to veter-
ans, it adds.
Veterans are advised, in
seeking jobs, to “read the
newspapers carefully, make
inquiry among friends who
work in government agen-
cies, keeping touch with the
civil service secretary at your
post office, visit the various
offices of government agen-
cies in your locality.”
The government’s jobs, the
article says, are located “in
every section of the United
States and its territories and
possessions,” for stenogra-
phers, typists, mail carriers,
clerks, messengers, accoun-
tants, shipfitters, aircraft me-
chanics, printers, janitors,
dietitians, radio repairmen,
tailors, doctors, nurses, law-
yers, scientists, writers—for
almost every type of work
known to man.”
Further, it says there are
“no formal educational re-
quirements for government
employment except in some

“Finding Tammy’s truck yes-
terday has been a huge mile-
stone,” her husband, Bob Goff,
said in a statement to ABC Fox
Montana on Saturday. “We
do not have confirmation yet
of the occupant. Many other
questions still remain.”
He thanked the community
for support and prayers and lo-
cal law enforcement and land-
owners who allowed access to
their property to conduct the
search.
Tammy Goff was last seen
on July 12, 2018, when she left
her house with her German
shepherd, Sadie. The dog was
found two days later and had
been seen near the river.
Search and rescue teams
searched the river by foot, air
and boat at the time.
In September 2018, an Idaho
team that has been recovering
drowning victims since 1983
searched the river and found a
vehicle in the river near where
Goff’s dog was found. How-
ever, it was a sport utility ve-
hicle that had been reported
stolen.
