Forty return for alumni
volleyball tournament
The first annual Heppner High
School Volleyball Alumni Tourna
ment was termed a success by
organizers with around 40 players
coming back. Only four women
were unable to attend because of
weather conditions.
Those home for the holidays and
volleyball and basketball tournament
who traveled the farthest were Julie
Grieb, 1979, from Washington,
D C ., Margaret Kincaid ‘81, Hays,
Kansas and Debbie Holland Peterson
‘77 Bums.
The team of 85 consisting of years
77, 81, 85, 90, won the most games
in their matches throughout the day.
Players with most senority were Pat-
ty Matheny, ‘72, Peggy Lauritsen,
‘72. Missy Gates ‘86 and Kelli Ham
mond Reid, ‘81 were known for
their bullet serves.
Official Walt Pilgrim, commented
that the players have been able to
maintain a good skill level after
graduating.
An almuni volleyball T-shirt was
also sent by tournament players to
Diane Holland, ‘78 former player
who has been ill.
“ Things went very well,” said
organizer Susie Hisler. “ There are
always things you can do to make it
better for next year and we will try
to make a few changes.”

Now that 1991 has been properly in
ducted, it will be interesting to lean
back and see just how many of the new
year’s resolutions ordained Monday
night will actually be made good as the
year progresses, and for how long.
Everything from being more punctual
to overcoming bad habits was doubtless
proclaimed at the new year’s birth with
the intent of enhancing the general
quality of life as we know it.
Sportsmen too, though arguably set
apart somewhat from the mainstream
human race, could stand to address a few shortcomings within their own
ranks, flawless though they seem. For those who, after hours of soul
searching, could find not a single improvement to resolve, the list below
might offer some guidance:
Be a Better Sport-No more secretly pouring boat gas into your part
ner’s bottle of fish attractant when you are being outfished. When he
hooks each fish, simply smile and compliment him on his angling pro
wess. Of course, this does little to quell the ill feelings welling in your
craw, but you can always “ accidentally” kick over his opened tackle
box later.
Curb Boasting— When you are the one doing the outfishing, loud,
boisterous bragging is generally considered unnecessary (and can get
your tackle box kicked over). Soft guffaws and mild innuendos mixed
evenly with your screams of delight will usually suffice—but keep your
tackle box closed, nonetheless.
Be Objective— Try to understand the other side’s point of view, or
at least don’t condemn them for their convictions. I took offense recent
ly to a passage from a book on flyfishing for trout which described the
bass as “ ...a trash fish sought by anglers in floating Pontiac Firebirds.”
I felt this was uncalled for; I prefer to think of my boat as a ‘Vette.
On the other hand, I must admit to being guilty of social bigotry this
past year when 1 replaced the powered hand soap in the restrooms of
an anti-hunting demonstration with Berkley Alive (turns into thick, foul
smelling fish slime when mixed with water). I suppose I’ll have to work
on that.
Be Courteous— Saving your bacon grease to distribute near other hun
ting camps to attract bears and skunks does not constitute courtesy. Some
people just do not appreciate watchable wildlife so near their living
quarters and could even develop an allergic reaction to the shed hairs
which often accumulate.
Likewise, watering your pack animals at another camp’s drinking-water
source is also rather ill mannered, since horses and mules are usually
less than discriminating about where they perform certain bodily func
tions. Exercise the courtesy of leading your stock 10 or 15 feet upstream
where any unsighlty accidents will be hidden from view.
Be Safety Conscious— Safety should play a major role in all outdoor
activities. Before icefishing, for example, test the rigidity of the ice by
sliding a large, heavy tackle box as far out onto the lake as possible,
then returning to your pickup to wait. If the ice holds the stampeding
hoards of anglers which will appear out of nowhere to grab the box,
consider it safe. Simply affixing your name to the box in advance allows
you to reclaim it for future use.
Be Honest— If you catch and release a potential record fish or pass
up an unusually large trophy while hunting, don’t be bashful-say so.
For some reason, most sportsmen have the habit of being vague or overly
conservative in their descriptions of trophies for which they have no
physical proof. Be honest. No one will disbelieve you. I could even take
this honesty thing a bit further by unashamedly admitting that I'm now
ending this week’s column so that I might go play with my new rifle,
tackle box and other Christmas goodies. Happy New Year._________

Happy New Year. One person
who shall remain nameless greeted
‘91 with a broken pipe spilling water
all over the floor, a cat “ tossing its
cookies” in the middle of the carpet,
and a spouse with a broken toe who
watched 12 hours of non-stop foot
ball. Hope this was no indication of
things to come in ‘91.
