FOUR-The Heppner Gtzette-Tlmes,
'Econo-Eating'

Saving money in the grocery
store is a skill many have
developed. Another way to
save money on a food budget
is to avoid wasting the food
that's bought.
A modern archeology pro
ject at the University of Ari
zona has been taking a long
term look at wasted food.
"The Garbage Project has
come up with some interesting
facts.
At least seven to 10 percent
of food bought is thrown away
unused. The figure may be as
high as nine to 14 percent if
you add food discarded down a
Columbia takes 2nd place,
sportsmanship trophies
By MARK STEVENS
The Columbia Tri-County
Babe Ruth AH Star team took
second place in the district
tournament held in The
Dalles. Not only did all the
players and coaches receive
trophies for second place, but
the team also was given the
sportsmanship award.
Columbia Tri-County start
ed the series by playing the
Hermiston American all star
team and ended up victorious
by a score of 8 to two.
Jerry Vandever pitched for
Columbia, giving up only five
hits and three walks. He was
the first pitcher to throw in an
all star game from the newly
formed league and he was also
the first winning pitcher.
Columbia had six hits in the
game and used smart base
running while capitalizing on
errors to score their eight
runs. Rich Gilbertson was the
heavy hitter of the day with a
double that started a three-run
rally. Tyler Trumbull and
Chris Stevens both lined nice
singles.
After winning this game,
Columbia played the following
day against the Hood River
Nationals who were the de
fending champions.
Rich Gilbertson was the
starting pitcher and he threw
all seven innings, striking out
four batters as Hood River
scored five runs on seven hits.
Gilbertson also had a fine
hitting game with three
singles and an RBI. Jim Put
man and Brad Trumbull laced
singles to advance runners
around the bases and Chris
Stevens had two lead-off
singles and scored three
times. Brian Byrd knocked in
two runs with a single to deep
center field. Tyler Trum
bull had the game-winning hit
in the fourth inning when he
slugged a grand slam home
run well over the 321 -foot
home run fence in left field.

their behalf by entering a new
agreement with the US De
partment of Agriculture.
According to Everett Rank,
administrator of USDA's Agri
cultural Stabilization and Con

to one approved in 1978, except
it would authorize larger de

protein foods when meat
prices rose sharply. Re

Trumbull was the only player
in the tournament to hit a
home run. Tyler came to bat
later in the game and smashed
a ground rule double to bring
in another run for a total of
five 5 RBI's in the game.
Columbia won by a final
score of 10 to 5.
Winning that game advan
ced Columbia Tri-County into
the semifinals. Their opponent
was the Hermiston Nationals.
The teams that make up Col
umbia Tri-County all belonged
to the Hermiston league last
year which may have added a
" little more competition to the
game.
Fred Widman and John
Stamate combined in the pit
ching department to give up
seven hits for seven runs.
The game didn't start too
well for Columbia as they
trailed in the bottom of the
third by a score of 5 to 0. Then
in the top of the fourth
Columbia came alive with a
five-hit inning that scored four
runs to close the gap. Jim
Putman and Brian Byrd both
singled and scored in the
inning.
Neither team scored again
until the top of the sixth when
Columbia rallied to score six
runs. Rich Gilbertson singled
in the inning and was later
brought in by Chris Stevens
who also hit a single. Stevens
scored when Tyler Trumbull
smacked a double into left that
brought in two runs. After
Trumbull batted, Jim Putman
drilled a single that pushed
two more runs across the
plate. Brian Byrd brought in
the last run of the inning when
he pounded a double into left
field.
Columbia scored again the
top of the seventh on two
walks and stolen bases. In the
bottom of the inning Hermis
ton gave Columbia a little
scare by scoring two runs, but
it wasn't enough as Columbia
won by a score of 11 to seven.
Columbia Tri-County played
the following day against the
deductions of up to four cents
per pound on shorn wool and
20 cents per hundred weight on
unshorn lambs marketed in
1982. Deductions rates from
1978 through 1981 were
two and one-half cents and 12
and one-half cents respective
ly. Rank also said the new
agreement would provide for
USDA to withhold part of any
wool incentive payments that
might be made to producers
on 1983-85 marketings to
finance the councils' promo
tion activities.
County ASCS Offices will
distribute copies of the agree
ment and ballots to sheep
producers in early August.

hoarding and buying more
than could be used before
spoiling.
When you have a "cleaning
out" session, analyze what
foods you're throwing away.
Try to decide what methods
would have saved that food
from its green whiskers.
Do you throw away small
servings of vegetables or cas
seroles? If so, perhaps you
could start a soup pot, adding
the dabs to a one or two-quart
container stored in the freez
er. When the container is full,
make a broth with a small
amount of meat or poultry,
and thaw out all of the con
home team. The Dalles Celilo.
The Dalles Celilo had already
lost one game which was
against the Hermiston Nation
als. The tournament was
double elimination and Col
umbia had not lost yet, which
gave them an advantage.
Chris Stevens and Jerry
Vandever shared the pitching
and gave up 12 runs on seven
hits. Columbia scored all of
their runs in the second in
ning. Jim Putman and Chris
Stevens each singled in the
inning. Tyler Trumbull drove
a ball 370 feet to the left -center
field for his second home run
of the tournament.
The Dalles won by a final
score of 12 to seven.
Because of the loss Colum
bia had to play The Dalles
again and whichever team
won was to become champion.
This game ended up with the
final score of seven to one in
favor of The Dalles. Up to the
fifth inning, both pitchers had
only given up two hits and not
any runs had scored, but then
The Dalles became hot and
scored six runs which was
enough to last them the rest of
the game.
Soon after the game was
over, trophies and awards
were presented. Every player
received a second place
trophy as did the coaches. The
team also won the sportsman
ship award and the tourna
ment announcer had com
mented that Columbia Tri
County "was a team with
class." The award should be
on display soon at the Board
man Pharmacy.

Maybe you're throwing
bread away. At today's prices,
even the heels are worth
money. Allow bread to dry in
an open container. It can be
made into bread crumbs for
toppings.
You can make your own
flavored croutons using the
heels and other bits of leftover
bread that would otherwise be
wasted. Planning a meat loaf

notice a few odds and ends of
bread is also good.

Exercise caution when recharging car battery
It's summertime and, despite
the high cost of gasoline,
Americans are as mobile as
ever. One all too familiar sight
at this time of year is a stranded
motorist at the side of the road,
watching the steam rise from an
overheated battery,
In summer as in v. inter, driv
ers are sometimes confronted
with a "dead" or overheated
battery. This often happens at a
time when it is most unex

evening upon returning to the
car. or after the driver has for
gotten to turn off the lights w hilt
the car is not running.
When the battery is lacking in
the necesary power to start the
car, most motorists try to start

booster cables, which borrow
starting power from the battery
of another car.
