The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, December 1, 1977 SEVEN Returning vets, district Scminar to air economic development setup please Doherty Twelve returning players with varsity experience and only two teams standing in the way of a district playoff bid considerably brighten the girls varsity basketball out look at lone this year. Although Coach Martha Do herty notes that the exper ience factor will be a definite plus, she said the team will still have to work hard to overcome two problems that plagued the lady Cards last year lack of scoring power and lack of height. "We've been working hard to get into shape," Doherty said. "We'll have to make up in speed s what we lack in height." As for increasing their point total, Doherty said the squad will rely on balanced team scoring since none of the players appear to a strong individual scoring threat. "Last year was a rough year and we'll have to pull together to make things better, "Doher ty said. "We're working hard on rebounding and blocking out and hopefully the scoring will come along." Rebounding leaders Grace McEUigott, Susan Thompson and Darcy Rea return for strength under the boards and three McElligotts Martha, Michelle and Carol figure to provide leadership at the point guard position. "Right now there are eight girls in contention for starting positions," Doherty said. There are a lot of line up combinations we could go with. Other players on the roster include senior Natalie Tews, juniors Arietta Aldrich, Robin Leavitt and Janet McEUigott and sophomores Shelley Con nor and Lori Edwards. The Cards open their season on their home court Friday against Heppner. IONE HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SCHEDULE 1977-78 AWAY GAMES IN BOLD FACE TYPE Thurs. Dec. 1 6:0 Heppner Fri.

Heading into the first week of the season, Brock said the girls "work pretty well togeth er as a group" although she added "one of the hardest things this year will be making some points". To that end, Brock will be counting on Jackie Mollahan, Cindy Kerr, Wendy Myers, Lori Rhea and Jana Steagall as the main shooters on the team. "The offense will mainly revolve around one basic play out of a 3-2 setup," Brock said. "I want everyone starters and substitutes alike to under stand the offense completely. From there we can put it into effect in a free-lance type of play." Brock will be looking to Maureen Healy, Diane Hol land, Mollahan and Myers to control the rebounding tasks. Integrating all the players into a total team effort is one of many goals Brock is working toward in her initial year as Filly coach. She will be counting on all around contributions from the re maining players which in clude Shelley Thompson, Jan ice Healy, Julie Grieb, Geri Grieb and Sally Sumner. Serving as varsity volley ball coach this fall, Brock said she got a pretty good indica tion of what kind of talent there is around the league and although she hasn't been able to judge her team's play in actual game competition she will have several opportuni ties to size up the situation before league play starts Jan. 6. "The first few games will be good practice games for us before, we get into league play," Brock said. "If we aren't ready to play by Jan. 6 we probably never will be."

The seminar is designed to assist communities in formu lating their economic develop ment programs or to improve existing programs. According to ODED director Daniel Goldy, "Many of Ore gon's communities want more job opportunities. Many have indicated their desire for a more diversified economic base. What is needed is for people in the community to sit down and decide where they want the community to go economically." Goldy said all local econo mies were drifting in some direction, and that it is important for the local citi zenry to understand where their economies were going and to decide whethere that is the direction they wanted to go. The communites have choices they can make and they can have the kind of economy they want if they formulate an economic devel opment plan for achieving their objectives and agree on the strategy for carrying out such a plan, he said. The Department of Econo mic Development is engaged in efforts to recruit new industry to bring into the state. But, Goldy said, the communities will not be suc cessful in getting companies to locate in their areas unless they are prepared with ade quate sites. He pointed out that companies will not wait for local communities to develop industrial sites. If they are not there at the time they are looking they will go elsewhere. "To be successful, a local economic development plan must have the full support of all segments of the communi ty," Goldy said., "Compaines ten to shy away from commu nities where any significant element of the community YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND GOOD HUNTING IN THE CLASSIFIEDS makes them feel unwelcome. For this reason it is absolutely necessary that elected offi cials, business, labor, indus trial interests, planning com missions and segments of the concerned citizenry partici pate in formulating the econo mic plan and agree on the methods by which it will be AFRAID YOU'RE GOING DEAF ?
