Devin, one of the team's best defense players will play at both the wing and post spots and plays much bigger than his 5’8” stature. Krein is a 5’8" point guard who appears to be the quickest of the Mustangs.

L exington G range plans activities By Delpha Jones Lexington Grange met for their regular meeting with a potluck din ner. Hosts for the evening were Lyle and Virginia Peck and Jim and Bar bara Bloodsworth.

It is a tri-county program with nurses in the different areas. Following this a short drills Greg Grant will coach JV business meeting was held. Plans were madé for the Christmas meeting. The exchange of gifts must be something that the per son made. This has proven to be most interesting and fun in the past years. There will be a potluck dinner. It was announced that plans will be made later in the year for the Pomona degree to be given by Lex ington Grange and first and second degrees by Willows and third and fourth by Greenfield. Other returning lettermen are Rick Osmin, a 5’9” wing who runs the court well and junior Jason Britt, a 5’8” wing/off guard who penetrates well and plays tough defense. Charlie Rathbun. 5'10" and Richie Pettyjohn, 5 ’9 ” , both juniors, played both varsity and jv last year. Pettyjohn will play at off guard and Rathbun is a wing. Seniors Scott Johnston, 5’8” and Jacob Maben, 5’9” are both up from the junior varsity team and will play wing positions. Kevin Bond, a 6 ’2 ” senior, is out this year after two years out of basketball and will play the post. Ryan Currin, a 5’10” junior with jv experience will play a wing. Cory Grabeel, a 5’9” senior transfer from Stanfield, will play at wing and Rick Koffler, a 5 ’9” freshman will be a point guard/off guard. Coach Padberg favors a fast break offense and a fast tempo for the hoopsters. He will use a full court press much of the time and a very tenacious defensive approach em phasizing a man-to-man defense. Padberg tabs his own Mustangs as one of the favorites for the league cham pionship along with the Umatilla Vikings, Wasco County Redsides and the Weston-McEwen Tiger-Scots. The Stanfield Tigers, Wahtonka Eagles and Pilot Rock Rockets round out the seven team Columbia Basin Conference. Last year’s league champ, the Riverside Pirates, have moved to the 3A Greater Oregon League. The Junior Varsity coach is Greg Grant who is a physical education teacher in Heppner. Grant, in his first year at Heppner, coached the past five years at Alsea at the varsi- ty level and won several league championships and played for the state championship against Condon last year. He is greeted by 13 enthusiastic cagers including junior David McCurry and sophomores Pete Pearson, Mark Conklin. Kevin Kilkenny, Scott Cere. T.R. Riehl, Jeremy Clark, Jeremy Maddern, Tony Burt and Shane Munkers. Three freshmen playing on the JV team include Kevin Payne, Da- Wayne Dunaway and Len Brittner. The JV schedule starts early in December. The largest turnout of basket- bailers in recent history, 47 in all, including 25 freshman, have made it necessary to have two freshmen teams. One of the Frosh coaches, Bob Ployhar, a local insurance agent, is no stranger to Mustang basketball.

Many use items available at no cost, such as egg cartons, foam packing chips, cardboard rolls and old magazines. O ther common inexpensive household items may also be used, including toothpicks, marshmallows. cereal, rice, salt, macaroni, plastic dish pans, paper clips, straws, glue and scissors. By now you’re wondering what your child will do with these treasures, many of which most peo ple toss out with yesterday’s oatmeal. The best way to find out is to put a few items on the table or floor and see what happens, observes CHEVROLET G e @ OUR POLICY FOR OVER 40 YEARS • • • • Offer the lowest prices Treat people right Provide quality service Support our community If you accept anything less you are not buying from the right dealership YOU CAN'T BEAT OUR DEAL SHERRELL CHEVROLET Hermiston, Oregon Phone 567-6487 THE OF AMERICA IS W INNING TODAY'S CHEVROLET ' Ms. Bennett. In order to encourage creativity in children, it is important not to model the “ right” way all the time. You might want to give a few guidelines, such as “ build something three feet high” or “ keep the water in the plastic dishpan,” adds Rebecca Ward, OSU Extension acting child development specialist. Make the guidelines more com plicated as your child masters each activity. For example, a three-year- old may be able to stack five egg car tons or build a road. By age K). he or she may be making castles com plete with turrets. The following is a brief list of ways children have used these and other items in play: Paper bags-make creature masks, clown faces, costumes and puppets. Collages-paste any or all of the following on paper: leaves, seeds, beans, macaroni (color it with food coloring mixed with rubbing alcohol), pictures cut from magazines (give older children a theme to create around such as ‘junk food’, ‘family,’ ‘Christmas wish list’), egg shells, buttons, cot ton balls, or yam. Of course, on those ‘nothing to do' days, you might also take the advice of the grandmother who says her grandchildren never dare to com plain about the lack of entertaining things to do because she hands them the mop or the toilet brush and puts them to work This idea had definite possibilities.

That familiar cold weather com plaint can continue all winter as children adjust to shorter days and cooler weather. However, there are some things you can do besides responding with a scream, points out Carol Bennett. Oregon State Univer sity Extension agent in Morrow County. Bob was the JV coach in 1985-86 under Brent Eggers. Ployhar has also been active as a coach in a varie ty of youth programs in the community.
