TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 13, 1990 County represented at Rose parade Blazer loss disappointing to local fan Pat Sweeney of Heppner was one of the lucky 12 thousand able to get tickets to the Portland Trail Blazers NBA finals game held June 10 against the Detroit Pistons. “ It was kind of a disappoint ment,” said Sweeney. “ I don’t know what happened.” The Blazers lost, 121 to 106. “ Detroit hadn't won a game at the Coliseum since 1984,” added Sweeney. “ I guess they're due.” Sweeney said that the game was a “ typical Blazer game,” with a sellout crowd of almost 13,000 peo ple. He said that there were throngs of people and that “ it was a little hectic on Sunday with the Rose Festival going on at the same time.” He said it was amazing how quickly the festival atmosphere subsided when it became apparent that the Blazers were going to lose. “ I think Portland's going to come back for the next two,” he added. Sweeney said that Marvin Padberg of lone also attended Sunday’s game. Anissa Anderson Linfleld graduate Queen Judy Jepsen (left), princesses Dana Flanagan, Stacie Henry and Tricia Coe.

EASTERN h \ Mark Bagett We were discussing hunting loads and ballistics over the steady putter of a 10-horse outboard kicker on a sleek, 20-foot aluminum jet sled when the fish hit. “ There he is,” I grunted, believing the fish to be a big, early-run summer steelhead, and a perfect specimen to photograph for a national magazine ar ticle I was working on. I was pulling Hot Shots in major tributaries of the mid-Columbia River with long-time friend and fishing per- sonality Buzz Ramsey of the Luhr Jensen tackle manufacturing company. Ramsey, who is known nationwide for his ability to find and catch river- run steelhead and salmon, had been deftly steering the small outboard with his feet to guide the big boat from pocket to pocket, placing our back- trolled lures in the most productive fish-holding areas. After relieving my reel of many yards of 14-pound-tesl line, the fish broke the surface about 100 feet downstream. “ You know, Mark, I think that’s a salmon,” Buzz said. “ There’s still quite a few spring chinooks coming in around here.” He was right; a few minutes later we quickly photographed and releas ed a bright, eight-pound spring chinook. Another pass through the area netted similar results (as soon as we had begun to talk about hunting again), but this time we beached a beautiful 16-pounder. I don ' often get to catch, or even fish for salmon. From that point on, it was difficult to concentrate on my steelhead assignment. By the time this is printed, the mid-Columbia-area tributaries should be an excellent spot for eastern Oregon anglers to take advantage of an ex citing double take. The Hood River in Oregon and the Wind. Big White Salmon and Klickitat on the Washington side all have increasing numbers of early-run summer steelhead in them right now, and although the salmon run is past its peak, many still hold fair numbers of spring chinook. Those who hold or are considering the purchase of a Washington license and steelhead/salmon tag should note that while the Klickitat River has recently been closed to salmon angling due to poor runs, the season on the Wind River near Stevenson has been extended as the result of exceptional numbers of spring chinook. Closer to home, summer steelhead are expected to show at any time on the Deschutes River, while anglers there are reportedly still taking spring chinook near Sherar Falls. According to Ramsey, the spring run of salmon to the Columbia River are among the most highly sought, due to the quality of table fare they offer. “ Historically, spring salmon swam upriver through the spring runoff and held over in the deep, cold-water holes of the Columbia’s tributaries all summer long and spawned in the fall—about the same time as other salmon runs-so, basically, the only difference between the spring-run chinook and the other runs is just timing. “ Then, of course, you have summer-run chinook, which is just an ex tension of the same type of fish,” he continued, “ and then comes the fall- chinook run. But because the spring chinook come in so much earlier, they have the most stored oils and the most body protein, and therefore are the best eating.” * i Spring Chinook Still Possible in Columbia River Tribs 4~ Hardman Community reunion picnic Sunday The Hardman reunion potluck will be held Sunday, June 17, at 12 noon at the Hardman Community Center.
