October 25, 1982 Page 11 More Sports— . . . . . . . ______ _____ _____ _ Nuclear weapons freeze scheduled Buffs hold on to beat Grant Union Meeting The campaign welcomes new The Jefferso n C ounty The Grant Union High Prospectors just about found the end of the rainbow and that “Pot of Gold,’.’ when they came to town October 15, for a Greater Oregon League (GOL) football game with the Madras White Buffaloes. The winless Prospector team was out to prove that they were not to be taken lightly. The Buffs had their hands full for three quarters of tough football and it wasn’t until the final quarter when the Buffs finally managed to score. The first score came oh a pass from Steve Fiala to Pat Randle from ten yards out. Troy Smith booted thè extra point giving the Buffs a seven point lead. The final score came with time running out as Brad Blackman sprung loose, skirted his left end and raced untouched into the end-zone. A two-point convers came on a pass from Fiala to Randle to make the final score 15-0. Madras missed a couple of scoring opportunities early in the game as the Grand Union defense stiffened and held, and even sacked the M adras quarterback at one time. On another attempt to score Troy Smith missed a 40-yard field goal. Once again the Buff defense was put through its test, and once again was very stubborn on giving yardage. The Buff ru n n in g gam e was not c o n s is te n t ham p ered by fumbles and penalties. The passing game was also on the blink, several clutch passes were dropped by the receivers. On Friday October 22, the Buffs travel to M ilton- F re e w a ta r fo r a n o th e r important league game with Mac-Hi. During pre-season pick, Mac-Hi was one of the teams to watch. They do have the material arid are capable of p u ttin g p o in ts on th e scoreboard. The Buffs will have to go into this game with a different attitude because Mac-Hi will be no pushover, they will be right in there trying to get the win. For one thing, Madras has never beated Mac-Hi on their home field while at the helm of coach Rod Chester. On the same weekend the Vale Vikings will travel to Burns fof an important game with the Hilanders who are the other team with an unble mished record in league play so far. Going into this week’s action both Madras and Burns have identical records of three wins and no losses in GOL football, with Vale right on their necks with a two win and one loss record. Vale should be up to beat Burns and must to remain in contention for the GOL playoffs. The rem ainder of the football schedule is very important for the Buffs. The final game of the regular schedule is with Burns on the Madras home field. Buffaloes ranked #1 in league T h e M a d r a s W h ite Buffaloes traveled toMilton- F r e e w a te r oh F rid a y October 22 to beat the Mac Hi Pioneers keeping their league record unblemished and now leading the league with a 4-0 standing. The Buffs slow in getting started went into the locker room trailing 7-0 at half time. Things were not going their way in the first half. But in the second half it was , all Buffalo stomping grounds. An injury to the starting quarterback Steve Fiala forced him out of action but back up quarterback Scott Williams got things going in the third quarter with a pass to Jerom e Davis in the end zone for the first score Troy Smith kicked the extra point. Again in the third quarter Williams connected with an o th er touchdow n pass this time he found pat Randle in the end zone. Smith added the extra point. ; In th e th ird q u a r te r W illia m s g o t a n o t h e r touchdow n by a pass to Randle Smith again getting the extra point. During the fourth quarter the Buffs played a lot of back up players. Dan Lawrence took his turn at the quarterback position for a series of downs where the Buffs were deep in Pioneer territory but were unable to capitalize for a touchdown. They settled for a 38 yard field goal by Troy Smith to round out the scoring for the evening. The defense did a whale of a job once again keeping pressure on theM acH iteam all through the game. Local standouts were Steve, Troy, Jason Smith, Vernon Tias, Howard Patt along with the rest of the team.; This brings the Buffaloes to a 4-0 league record and are in the top spot where Vale and Burns are tied for sec o n d p lace with 3-l records. On the night the Buffs were beating Mac Hi, the Vale Vikings invaded the B u rn s H ila n d e r s . T h e following day they beat the Highlanders. October 29th is horrie- com ing for the M adras White Buffaloes as they host the Burns Highlanders for the final game of the season in league play. A victory will put the Buffs in the state play-offs. However if the Burns Highlanders win there will be a three way tie and a flip of the coin will determine the representative from the Greater Oregon League. Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Freeze Initiative is planning an informational meeting on ballot measure 5, the nuclear arm s freeze initiative, on Wednesday, October 27, 7:30 p.m., at the Mud Springs Grange in Madras. The film “War Without Winners” will be shown. The “war without winners” of the film’s title is nuclear war, the effects of which are shown: but the film does not limit itself to presenting the nuclear threat, but it also includes interviews with military and civilian experts on defense, nuclear weapons, and disarmament, who discuss both the current arms race and the prospects for halting it. The theme of positive action against the arms race and the threat of nuclear war will be taken up by Henry Morrison, tribal linguist at Warm Springs and co-chairperson of the ' Jefferson County Campaign, who will speak on “What you can do about the nuclear threat.” He will discuss some Of the questions connected with the Freeze, such as the U.S.- Soviet m ilitary balance, respond to some of the arguments advanced against the Freeze proposal, and present some concrete ways for o rd in ary citizens to act effectively against the arms race and the danger of nuclear war. The meeting will be free of charge. participarits. For information, contact Henry Morrison at 553-1161 (office) or 553-1430 (home), or co-chairperson Brenda Davis at 475-2412. If passed, ballot measure 5, the nuclear arm s freeze initiative, will require the governor to write a letter to the President stating that the people of Oregon want the U.S. to propose to the Soviet Union a m utual freeze on the development, production, and deployment of new nuclear weapons. The nuclear arms freeze concept is supported by many prom inent m ilitary, political, scientific and other figures, including Russell Jim, president of the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, and also by many organiza tions, including the National Congress of American Indians arid the N atio n al^J.rib al Chairman’s Association. “The nuclear arms freeze initiative may be the most important measure on the b a llo t th is y e a r ,” says Morrison. “The Soviets have already expressed positive interest in the idea, and a freeze would be more easily verifiable, according to former CIA head William Colby, than more complex arms lim itations agreements. It will be an essential first step towards nuclear arms reduction and an ultimate end to the threat of nuclear holocaust.” Night riding— Motorcycle safety tips If you’re one of America’s 15 million m otorcyclists the chances are that sometimes you’re a night rider.

Trick-or-treat Oct. 30 COCOA weatherizing 30 homes Thirty houses in the Warm S p rin g s co m m u n ity are currently being weatherized with money for the project coming from a government grant designed for low income Indians needing assistance. The weatherization project started in October and will continue through the month of November until all low income residents who have applied and been approved receive the assistance. Assistance was first awarded to low income senior citizens who owned their own home according to welfare worker F ritz M iller. N ext were handicapped, low income homeowners. And finally, homeowners with low income were given assistance until funding ran out. Eligibility for weatherization was determined by comparing size of the family with the amount of income in that household. A one-person household with a monthly income of under $487.50 is eligible. Other monthly figures include: two member family, under $647.91, three members, under $808.33; four members, $968.75; five members, under $1,129.16; and six members, under$ 1,289.58. The grant totalled $37,073. $17,609 allowed for purchase of materials with labor costs estimated at $13,556. The weatherization jvork is being done by the Central Oregon Council on Aging (COCOA) from Bend. “They can do it cheaper than anyone so we can get more done,” says social service supervisor Gayle Rodgers. He adds, “We’re getting a lot of benefit for the dollar figure.” An evaluation of each home re c e iv in g a p p r o v a l fo r assistance was made by weatherization director for COCOA Ovie Weinman and a schedule for work to be done was prepared. Work performed by the COCOA weatherization w orkers included ceiling in su latio n , caulking and venting, weatherstripping, storm windows installed, insulation of floors, hot water tank, pum p room s and plumbing lines, repairs to broken windows and ill fitting doors, and patching of leaking roofs. Halloween is traditionally celebrated on October 31. However because that date falls on S u n d a y th is y e a r, community members have changed the date for its celeb ratio n to S atu rd ay night, October 30.

Parents will not have to be at work the next day and children will not have to be home early in preparation for school the next day, according to Halloween community coordinator Neda Wesley. Besides trick-or-treating, the Community Center will be holding it’s annual Halloween carnival on October 30. Have a happy and safe Halloween.
