By MICHELLE LARUE
On Friday, February 6, the
Cardinal varsity boys upset
the Arlington Honkers, 42-40.
The Cards are now 6-2 in
league play.
In the first quarter the
Cardinals jumped out to a 15-4
lead, but in the second quarter
the Honkers cut the lead to 5,
24-19.
Both teams came out after
the half to score 11 points
apiece. In the last quarter the
Cards were out-scored by 5 to
tie the game at 40 and send it
into overtime.
The Honkers stalled the ball
in overtime, trying to get the
last shot. But a bad pass to one
of the Honkers caused an
over-and-back call. The Cards
went to that basket but missed
and Arlington rebounded. The
Honkers again started their
stall, but Ione's Treve Peter

Rude awakenings
A few Heppner residents have had a few too many rude
awakenings lately.
Those few are Heppner Volunteer Firemen who have been
called out seven times in little more than a week.
Heppner Volunteer Fire Chief Forrest "Forrie" Burken
bine says that two of those fires were caused by inadequate
wood stove installations and the other five were flue fires.
Burkenbine says that many of the fires caused by
inadequate installations occur in older homes, but flue fires
strike newer homes as well.
To prevent against flue fires, he advises that a wood stove
should be run on high for a half hour twice a day to prevent
creosote buildup in the chimney. "Fifteen minutes is not
enough," cautioned Burkenbine.
"The best (chimney) installation is straight up," he
continues, "but it can't always be that way. If the chimney is
cleaned out good at the beginning of the cold season and kept
up properly, it should last until spring."
. Burkenbine warns that a fire caused by faulty installation
may be of a more serious nature because the fire generally
smolders all night. "That's most likely and early morning
fire," he added. Fires of this nature can result from stove
pipe seams not being tight enough, the stove or stovepipe
situated too close to wood, or a gap where the pipe goes into
the wall.
Despite his early morning awakenings, however,
Burkenbine is not anti-wood stove. "I think they're great.
They can be the most inexpensive way to heat."
If you have any reservations about your stove or chimney
installation, Burkenbine says that he will give inspections,
but cannot sign insurance forms. Nor can he give building
permits for installation. A building codes permit must be
obtained from a building inspector if the stove is a new
installation. Burkenbine says that an inspector comes to the
Heppner area once a week.
Although preventing fires is Burkenbines first priority, he
is also on another campaign recruiting new members.
"I have a very good bunch of firemen," praised
254-year-veteran Burkenbine. "They're dedicated and put in
many hours on their own time. But I would like to get at least
another dozen firemen on my roster." He says that the
department has had up to 25 and down to 12 members and
presently has 15. "That's not so good when you figure about a
50 percent turnout.
"We realize that you can't be around all the time, but there
are weekends, evenings."
Seven firemen have had more than 10 years on the
department, and five have served five years.
What kind of person joins a volunteer department?
"A person concerned with the safety of the people in
Heppner," he responds with no hesitation.
How dangerous is it? "Quite hazardous." But if there's a
chance of one fireman dying or being injured on the job,
Burkenbine says he won't have them take the risk. One
fireman has died at a fire but his death was caused by a heart
ailment and was not directly related to firefighting, says
Burkenbine. Otherwise he says that only "very minimal
injuries" have occurred.
Forty-four year-old Burkenbine says there are no age
requirements for the job, "We have some under 25 and some
over 40," and no physical requirements. Indeed, Burkenbine
invites physically handicapped to join the force. "Some
