of the spring and summer
months by walking four miles

20 kilometers from Jim
Bloodsworth Lane to the lone
city park to earn pledges for
his entry into the champion
ship. lone, turn on your television

Monday Morning
Quarterback
By Jim Hackett
Start practicing your horseshoe pitching for the 1979
Morrow County championship to be held at the Morrow
County Fairgrounds. Only amateurs are allowed in the
tournament so if you've been taking money from your friends
in the pits, I guess that rules you out.
D.O. Nelson is the defending champion from last year's
contest and don't count him out in this year's contest. Last
year, he won the contest from 10 other pitchers.
After the competition, the pits were so popular that
youngsters were using the pits all day long. This year's
contest is set for Saturday and Sunday, August 18 and 19. The
horseshoes will be provided.
Shorty Peck was going to be chairman but will be out of
town that weekend so has been beating the sagebrush to
come up with a new chairman. If you're an impartial person,
volunteer your time.
Just be sure you let the women shoot closer; after all,
they can throw those heavy metal shoes too.
In talking with Shorty the other day,, he wanted to
handicap D.O. I've already been talked into entering the
competition but not if 25 lb. shoes are used.
I haven't heard from Old Bleacher Seats on the
possibility of entering the contest so we can safely say the
coast is clear for a clear path to victory to whomever enters.
After last year's contest, the stakes and pit boxes were
removed from the fairgrounds, there are no pits in the
Heppner Park or in the north end parks so the person with the
best set of stakes in town should do all right. D.O. told me the
other day, he hasn't thrown since last year but since he's the
best of last year, he has got the most experience.
Flying over Heppner the other evening was Rick
Peterson in his motorized hang-glider. I wonder whether he
had an airspeed indicator attached to his motor. His flight
caused a great deal of excitement as people followed him to
his landing spot at Heppner High School.
I'll bet that sports makes you forget about the wheat field
work.
One couple noticed Rick was wearing only jeans and a
tank top while flying the skies over Heppner and wondered if
he might have shivered while airborne.
Football practice starts for area high schools August 20
and the time is approaching for Heppner and lone football
seasons. Coach John Sporseen of the Heppner Mustangs
expects about 50 to turn out for football this year high when
you consider the population of Heppner High School.
The Gazette will try to bring you the most up t date
information on games during the season and feature some of
the more interesting happenings of the sport.
