The Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon, Thursday. January 31, 1980 SEVEN,
eppner faces improved Condon
r
Heppner's boys basketball
team will play at home
against Condon tomorrow '
night and against Sherman
Saturday.
Both games are preceded by
the girls varsity game at 6
p.m.
Condon had not won a game
in league" play until last
weekend when the Blue Devils
upset Wahtonka 63-62 then
beat Umatilla 84-58. Condon
used a half-court trap press
effectively in both of those
games.
Outstanding players for
Condon in the two wins were
Ron Wade, who scored 38
points, and Eric Harrison,
who scored 28 points. Monty
Mcintosh had 17 points and 15
rebounds in one of the games.
Sherman, like Condon, does
not have that good of a league
record but they have been
playing well their last few
games. The team lost to
league-leading Weston-Mc-Ewen
last week 56-48. Joe
McNab is the star of that team
as he scored 24 points in the
close loss to the TigerScotts.
"Condon is coming around,"
Heppner Coach Dale Holland
said. "They are playing much
better than at the beginning of
the year. And Sherman is a big
team with one guy 6-8 and
another 6-5."
Jim Parker broke out of his
shooting slump last weekend
in the 84-31 romp over
Umatilla and the 73-56 loss to
Wahtonka.
Parker scored 24 points in
the win hitting 12-of-15 shots
from the field. He shot almost
as well in the loss hitting
9-of-15 shots and he made a
total of 22 points to go along
with his leading 11 rebounds.
Heppner shot 56 percent
from the field, 37-of-66, in the
win over Umatilla while the
visitors made only 14-of-61 for
23 percent.
The game was never close
as , Heppner raced to a 23-8
first quarter lead and led 40-13
at halftime. The Mustangs led
56-24 at the end of three
quarters and outscored the
visitors 28-7 in the final period
for the final score.
Dale Holland added 14
points, Dorian Forrar 10, Curt
Day 10. Larry Palmer 8, Tony
Currin 8, Doug Holland 4,
Todd Sherer 4 and John
Murray 2.
Playing but not scoring
were Rick Cole, John Bier and
Jim Launer.
Fouls played a big part in
the game against Wahtonka as
the Eagles made 19-of-31 in the
game while Heppner made
6-of-ll free throws.
"They have improved since
the first time we played them
but I did not think we played
that poorly," Coach Holland
said. "In fact, I thought we
played well. The officiating
was called a lot closer down
there and we got into foul
trouble because of that."
Dale Holland fouled out of
the game at the beginning of
the fourth quarter and Bier
fouled out in the middle of the
last period.
"Doug Holland was sick
with the flu so he did not make
the trip and that hurt us."
Coach Holland said.
Wahtonka made 7-of-10 free
throws in the fourth period to
break upen a close game.
Heppner went to the foul line
only once in the last quarter,
and three times in the entire
second half.
Heppner made more turn
overs, 19 to 12, and was called
for more fouls, 24 compared to
13.
The Eagles shot 56 percent
from the field and the Mus
tangs 45 percent.
Heppner led at the end of the
first quarter 17-16 but trailed
at halftime 36-30. Both teams
scored 18 points in the third
quarter to make the score
54-48 but the Eagles outscored
Heppner 19-8 in the final
stanza.
Bier scored 14 points before
fouling out. Cole had 4, Launer
4. Day 6, Dale Holland 4 and
Sherer 2. Playing but not
scoring were Palmer, Forrar,
Currin and Murray.
Coho salmon lost because of icy weather
The storm which locked the
Columbia River gorge in an
icy grip recently also caused
the loss of most of the coho
salmon production at the Fish
and Wildlife Department's
Cascade hatchery near Cas
cade Locks.
The loss of nearly 1.8 million
coho fingerlings represents
almost 85 percent of the total
production at Cascade Hatch
ery and nearly one-fourth of
the Department's planned 7.5
million Columbia River coho
releases in 1980. The fish were
in the four to five inch range
and were due for release in
April.
All of the fish were in 26 of
the hatchery's 30 outdoor
ponds and only those fish in
four ponds nearest the hatch
ery water intake were spared
heavy losses. Eagle Creek
serves as the water source for
the hatchery and for 30 hours
during the storm ran heavy
Duf ur beats
IoneJV
Saturday lone J.V.s met
their first league-game defeat
against Dufur.
It was a close game all the
way. ending with a score of 43
to 40.
Ralph Morter was the lead
ing scorer and rebounder as
he made 9 points and grabbed
21 rebounds. Other scorers
were Jeff Hams 9. Tim Patton
8. Matt Barnes 6, Craig
Gutierrez 4. Denny Starr 2,
and Barnev Rea 2.
with slush ice. The flowing
slush, combined with heavily
falling snow (65 inches in two
days) to block pond intakes
and fill ponds with ice. The
buildup of slush plus the
blockage of flow .through the
ponds killed nearly all the fish
in 22 of the hatchery ponds.
Crews pumping out the
ponds to remove the dead fish
have found very few that
survived. Live fish were being
salvaged and the dead ones,
amounting to as much as 30
tons, have been hauled to
rendering plants. Although it
is difficult to place a value on
the loss, Fish Culture Director
Ernest Jeffries says from
$175,000 to $200,000 rearing
costs had already gone into
their production.
Other concerns at Cascade
Hatchery during the heavy
snow buildup were the poten
tial loss of 6.2 million coho
eggs in hatchery facilities,
and caving in of buildings
from the accumulated snow.
Fortunately the eggs were
saved although standby proce
dures were ready in case the
water supply to the indoor
hatchery troughs was cut off.
Although similar weather
conditions occurred nearby at
Bonneville and Oxbow hatch
eries, losses at those facilities
were minimal. Underground
wells supply much of the
hatchery water at Bonneville
and the warmer water is
largely c redited with prevent
ing a similar ice buildup there.
At Oxbow Hatchery no fish
were being kept in the outside

ponds because of low water
supply, and at nearby Herman
Creek ponds, operated as part
of the Oxbow Hatchery,
warmer spring water again
prevented buildup of ice.
The fact that losses were not
much more severe both at
Cascade hatchery and other
gorge facilities, says Jeffries,
is due mainly to heroic
around-the-clock efforts on the
part of hatchery crews. The
storm effectively isolated the
hatcheries from outside help
and so crews had to do the best
they could with the equipment
available to them.
At Cascade hatchery, for
instance, the road to the main
water intake on Eagle Creek
was soon so deep in snow that
it could not be kept cleared
with existing equipment.
Hatcherymen made the trip
on snowshoes in efforts to keep
the intake clear of ice. They
worked in frigid, icy water
around the clock attempting to
keep ponds clear and water
circulating until it was physi
cally no longer possible to do
so.
Fish and Wildlif e sets
opening dates for hunting
The Fish and Wildlife Com
mission has established open
ing dates for major hunting
seasons in 1980. As usual, the
opening dates were set early
in the year for the benefit of
those who must establish
vacation schedules.
All staff recommendations
were approved, and they
generally correspond with
1979 opening dates. The only
major change is a two weeks
later opening for the general
bowhunting season. All sea
sons open on a Saturday.
The general buck deer
season will open statewide
Oct. 4. The split elk season
initiated last year will be
continued on both sides of the
Cascades with Rocky Moun
tain elk opening dates of Nov.
1 for the first period and Nov. 8
for the second season. Roose
velt elk season opening dates
will be Nov. 8 and Nov. 15.
The rifle antelope season
will open August 16 and the
general bowhunting season
August 23.
Blue and ruffed grouse
seasons will open August 30 as
will the season for mountain
quail in western Oregon. On
October 18, seasons will open
for cock pheasant and valley
quail statewide, for chukar
partridge in western Oregon
and for mountain quail in
eastern Oregon.
The commission considered
only opening dates at its
recent meeting. Season
lengths, bag limits, antler
point rules, open area, road
closures, and other season
regulations will be set later in
the year when the results of
biological field surveys are
available. Bear hunting regu
lations will be set Feb. 22;
seasons for antelope, cougar
and bighorn sheep March 20;
deer and elk May 31; and
upland birds and waterfowl
August 15.
