News/Sports A16 wallowa.com March 25, 2015 Wallowa County Chieftain Spring hunter safety courses offered By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain As spring rolls in, so do hunting opportunities. In- structors Keith Newburn and Stephen Bartlow plan to teach two separate hunter safety classes — one held in Wallowa in the Oregon De- partment of Forestry class- room located at 802 W. Hwy 82, the other in Joseph at the Baptist Church located at 107 N. Main St. Newburn said if the Wal- lowa class exceeds 25 per- sons it would move to the Wallowa Gun Club located at 75044 Lower Diamond Lane in Wallowa. He stressed that each class has fewer than a dozen openings left. Hunter safety classes are offered in both spring and fall in anticipation of hunting seasons. “This spring class is designed to be done right be- fore the special youth turkey hunt,” Newburn said. The classes offered at each site run on alternating days over a two-week peri- od to give the students time Joseph rounding up new kindergartners Joseph Charter School will host a “kindergarten round-up” on Wednesday, April 8, from 6 to 7 p.m. — an opportunity to learn about the all-day kindergarten pro- gram sponsored by the Jo- seph School District. Parents are invited to meet the teachers, Alyse Shetler and Courtney Lyman. Immu- nization records and a copy of the child’s birth certificate are required to complete reg- istration for kindergarten stu- dents. 2015 Battle of the Books Held March 13 in En- terprise Team Totals 2nd Grade: Enterprise 5, Joseph 5, Wallowa 5 (3- way tie). 3rd Grade: Wallowa 8, Joseph 6, Enterprise 2. 4th Grade: Joseph 10, Enterprise 5, Wallowa 2. 5th Grade: Wallowa 10, Enterprise 6, Joseph 3. 6th Grade: Wallowa 12, Joseph 6, Enterprise 1. Submitted by Marcie Sheehy ATHLETE OF THE WEEK KARI ZOLLMAN Participating in her first track meet ever, Joseph senior Kari Zollman threw the javelin 100 feet and claimed first at a 12-team event in Harper last weekend, thus earning Athlete of the Week honors. Tutoring Zollman in the event is sister Grace Zollman, a former scholarship javelin thrower for St. John’s University. The 17- year-old Zollman also plays basketball and softball at JHS. She enjoys playing multiple sports. Zollman is an experienced elk, deer, and antelope hunter who enjoys fishing and snowboarding as well. An individual who’s strong both mentally and physically, Zollman exudes a positive attitude that’s evident in her willingness to try new things. After graduation, Zollman is considering attending either Boise State University or the University of Idaho. Proudly Sponsored By: to study material. The classes consist of combination class- room and field days. Field days include both live fire and possibly compass and map reading along with other safety exercises, depending on the availability of quali- fied instructors. Newburn said he is often asked if people who take the test online can attend the field day to finish their cer- tification. The answer is no, although they can attend the second class, which is hands- on, attend the field day, then take the test on the last day. The classes require a mini- mum of 14 hours instruction, but local classes range from 16-20 hours. Oregon law mandates that everyone under the age of 18 attend hunter education class- es in order to obtain a hunting license. Newburn suggested that adults planning to hunt out of state should consider attending the class because some states require a hunter education card to hunt.

With spring break beginning, the Cubs were missing a few players and coach Cliff Conrad said most of his team that played were JV players also. The Cubs lost the game, with five hits and four er- rors, 12-9. Conrad said, “Being the first game out we did have a few mental errors, but the girls did play a nice back- and-forth game.” Freshman Madison Plew was the starting pitcher for the Cubs. She pitched four innings with junior Natalie Williams finishing the game. Conrad said he started Plew just to see how she would do. “They did get a few base hits off of her but mostly she did OK. With Natalie, the Tigers were putting the ball in play but they were easier outs. Natalie shut them out in the last inning.” No single player stood out for the Cubs. Almost everybody made good con- tact with the ball and they ran the bags well. Conrad said after the game the girls talked about how much work they have to put in. The coach also remarked, “They learned a lot.” The Cubs are hoping for more preseason games be- fore league play starts April 4 against Nyssa, but it remains to be seen how many can be scheduled.

The senior Outlaw hurdler, jumper and sprinter is further expanding his track and field repertoire this week as EHS Coach Dan Moody takes him to Bend on Friday for the Summit Decathlon/Heptathlon. Lathrop is signed up for the decathlon, which includes the 100 meters, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400 meters, 110m hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1500 meters. Among those events, said Moody, Lathrop is least experienced in the pole vault, so at least one practice session in that was planned during spring break at Joseph’s track and field facility. Continued from Page A9 Heppner scored on a walk in the bottom of the seventh, sealing the victory. The Eagles had 10 hits, with none for extra bases in the contest. Justin Exon col- lected three hits while Tate Olsen collected two, as did Dillon Thompson. Exon was losing pitcher with Cody Stone throwing two innings in relief. The bottom end of the Enter to Win!

If he’d gotten on base it might have been a different story. As it was, he grounded out to the mound and that was that,” Word said. Tate Olsen again bagged two hits as did Chris Bathke and Dillon Thompson. Sam Beckman of Joseph chalked up the win as pitcher with Olsen hurling three innings in relief. “We played very well, and I’m really excited about the season. We had some really good things going on. Over- all we pitched really well and ran the bases decently,” Word said. Overall, Word said he was pleased with the team’s hitting in the doubleheader. “We had 17 hits in our first two games. There were some kids I ex- pected to get hits but didn’t, and some kids I expected not to hit that did. It was really encouraging to see everything that was going on.” The Eagles’ next games are on March 26, 27 and 28 in John Day for the Les Schwab Icebreaker Tournament. The team’s first home game is April 4.
