SKI
TRAILS
By BIRDINE TULLIS
The lack of snow seems to be
ihe main topic of conversation
among the local skiers at pre
sent. This beautiful springlike
weather is not really appreciated
by the devout skier who has
equipment packed and his skies
well waxed ready to go at the
first hint of sufficient snow. I
can well imagine the Impatience
of all' the youngsters who re
ceived a shiny pair of skis for
Christmas.
The local ski classes planned
by our Chamber of Commerce
and Arbuckle Ski Club have
created quite a bit of interest In
the sport. A number of registra
tion forms have been received
from would-be skiers. We hope
to be able to go ahead with the
lessons as planned, but if snow
does not fall immediately It will
be necessary to change the dates
lor the classes. I would suggest
that you got your registration in
immediately if you plan to take
advantage of the classes. The
classes are open to all ages of
children on a class basis. Adults
wishing lessons will be able to
take them from the intructor
cither on a private, semi-private,
or perhaps as a class If there is
interest lrom this age group.
Many people ask at what age
children can start skiing. This
of course, depends on the Indi
vidual child. I have observed
that the small ones take to the
hill with very little difficulty.
Our own children had their first
skis before they were of school
age.
So get those registration forms
in now! Mail them to Alice
Vance, secretary, Arbuckle Ski
club, or leave them at the ski
shop.
As there was no snow near
home, my family visited an area
that is quite new. At this time
Mt. Bachelor, or Bachelor Butte,
which ever you prefer to call it,
is the one place In the Pacific
Northwest that is blessed with
snow. The mountain is located
about 20 miles from Bend. They
have a chair lift, a poma, T-Bar
and rope. I was amazed to find
skiers from all over the west
crowding the slopes. The lift
lines looked discouragingly long,
but moved quite fast, and the
ardent skier in our group man
aged to get In plenty of skiing.
The great number of skiers must
have presented quite a problem
to the management as it was ap
parent they were operating far
above their usual capacity from
the size of the lodge, parking lot,
and such facilities. Bachelor
Butte is one of the fastest grow
ing areas in Oregon, I hear. Ski
fashions are wonderful this year,
and it was a treat just to see
some of the beautifully-coordinated
stretch pants and parkas
worn by the skiers. Metal skies
seemed to be by far the most
popular type on the slope.
The Chamber of Commerce in
Bend seemed to be well aware of
Ihe business the ski season was
bringing to their community.
Motels and hotels had prominent
signs "skiers welcome!" Pilot
Butte Inn had a twist party for
the amusement of skiers, but I
will have to report that no one
In our party seemed interested
after a long day on the moun
tain. Ski Thoughts Arbuckle ski
area Is ready to operate just as
soon as the snow piles up Ski
ing is wonderful recreation for
the entire family Kids, wear
those new boots around the
house a bit and they will be
more comfortable on your first
trip to the hill Use wax on
your boots to make them water
proofThe Peck family was also
enjoying the facilities at Bache
lor over the holiday And Pete
Lybecker, your Instructor-to-be
was getting in some practice
there Any interested skier is
invited to'join Arbuckle ski club
Have faith, it will snow! See
you on the hill!

iiad installed seat belts in the
car onlv a day or two prior to
ihe accident, and both he and
Lovgren were using them. None
of the three was thrown from the
car, and it is speculated that
their injuries could have been
:onsidcrably worse if the seal
belts had not been employed by
ih-" two in front.
Thr? ace'dent occurred just
a short distance north of the
Claude Graham place beyond
Kinzua Corporation mill. The
highway is interspersed with
some short straight stretches and
dips at this point with tricky
curves at the end.
Privett apparently had passed
an auto driven by Harold Evans,
also proceeding south, and may
have attempted Jo pass a Dick
ut, driven by Wade Bothwell,
also going south just ahead of
Evans. The car moved into the
left lane just as the pickup
driven by Bob Lovgren came
over the rise and around the
curve. Lovgren apparently veer
ed sharply fo the right to avoid
a collis on but the left front of
each of the vehicles hit. The
car was badly smashed and the
pickup also suffered severe dam
ige. Dean Lovgren is a sophomore
at Heppner High school and was
a member of the football team in
the 1962 season. He played some
outstanding games on defense
for the Mustangs and was pick
ed for honorable mention on the
Greater Oregon league's all-star
team.
Privett and Struthers are both
seniors at the high school. Struth

Mustangs Romp
To Easy Victory
Over Stanfield
Using every man suited in the
Mustang uniforms, Coach Bob
Cantonwine's Heppner High bas
ketball five romped to an easy
victory over Stanfield here Sat
urday night, 67 to 38.
The home contingent fired 79
allots at the basket and made
."U good for a near .400 clip.
They shot out in front In the first
quarter, 14 to 3, and had an
overwhelming 32 to 12 lead by
halftime. The margin was widen
ed in the third quarter to 51
to 18, but Stanfield came up
with 20 points in the final stan
za to outscore Heppner for the
period. The Mustangs got 16 in
the last period.
Kenny Wright came in as a
reserve and made 17 points,
drilling the hoop on eight field
troals of 15 attempts and scoring
on one of three gift tosses. His
point production was matched
by regular John Porter, who had
an even better average than
Wright as he hit eight out of 14
attempts and tallied one of two
free throw attempts for a total
of 17.
Clark of Stanfield led the vis
itors with 15. Despite the rela
tively high Heppner score, these
three men were the only ones
in double figures.
Lee Padberg had nine for
Heppner and Dick Springer, who
did not start in the contest, came
through with eight.
For the Mustangs it was their
fifth win of the season against
one loss that to Pilot Rock
there.
Stanfield didn't get nearly as
many shots off at the bucket
as Heppner, but they had trouble
hitting on the shots they attemp
ted. They scored 14 field goals
on 46 attempts.

Knightens See Son
Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Knighten
were In Seattle for a visit over
Christmas at the home of then
daughter and son-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. John Miller. Wiley
Knighten Jr., their son, flew
down from Alaska and spent the
holiday with them. He said that
he had been traveling with the
Federal Aviation Agency all
over Alaska Nome, Fairbanks,
Fort Yukon, and to the far north
ern part but had encountered
temperatures of only 13 degrees
below zero. In 1961 at Thanks
giving time he hit temperatures
as low as 50 degrees below. The
Knightens, who went to Seattle
by train, returned Friday, but a
derailed train near Chehalis,
Wn., made it necessary for them
to continue on by bus after some
delay. Ordinarily they go by car,
he said, but they decided to try
the train this time, only to en
counter the delay.
Sunday dinner guests at the
Carl McDaniel home were Mr.
