M M M í Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 12, 1991 - THREE 4-H pre-fair workshop June 29 lone boys, girls compete at tournament By Anne Morter lone sent a boys’ and girls’ team to the Class B AAU Basketball Tour nament held last weekend in Yakima. They came home with respectable finish from both teams. The girls finished seventh out of 21 teams, missing third place by just four points in their final game. The boys finished ninth, missing the fifth place spot by one tipped-in basket at the buzzer of their final game. Thirty-three boys teams competed in the tournam ent. Team s from Oregon, Washington and Idaho were eligible to compete. The girls opened with a 42-30 vic tory over Entiat, Washington Friday night. According to coach Dana Heideman, “ everything went right in that game” as the girls collected the win. The Lady Cardinals chalk ed up two more wins on Saturday, defeating Bridgeport, Washington, 48-39 and Ranier, 37-30. Kari Morgan tore up the nets against Bridgeport, scoring 21 points in the ame, 10 in the first quarter. The Ranier game was one of the most ag gressive games that he had ever wat ched, said Heideman. The very physical and intense game gave the Lady Cards ample opportunities at the free throw line, where they hit 17 of 25, easily the difference in the game. That win advanced lone into the semi-finals as one of the four Francine Evans and Judy Jepsen explain modeling moves at past pre-fair workshops. “ What is the very first thing to do when I take my exhibit to the fairgrounds?” “ What is the dif ference between 4-H exhibits and 4-H contests?” “ Where can I learn to move across the stage so I won’t be scared during "M y Favorite Out fit” contest?” The answers to these questions and many more will be ex plained on Saturday .June 29 at the home economics and expressive arts Pre-fair. This free, non-competitive event is the place to learn now to unders tand the fair premium book, fair pre registration forms, how to be com fortable during interview judging, practice for the measuring skills con test, and much more. All 4-H members are welcome to attend this event. It is most helpful to newer members, said Morrow County Ex tension agent C arol Bennett. Parents, relatives and leaders are en couraged to attend with members. There will be a special session, “ Especially for parents” early in the program. This short session will enable adults to help youth fill out the new computer pre-registration forms correctly. ing their children pre-register for ex hibits and contests, as well as get ting members and projects to the right activity at the proper time. Leaders are willing to help, but parental involvement and support is vital to the youth’s self confidence and enjoyment of fair activities,” points out Bennett. A goal for the 1991 p re-fair is to increase awareness of the contests available to all 4-H members, regardless of project area. For example, there is a special photography exhibit that would be a wonderful place to enter photographs of a 4-H project, she said. There will be a demonstration o f ways to m at and mount photographs for competition. Most of the activities will be lead by junior and teen leaders. This is the place to get answers to questions about 4-H fair activities. It will be conducted at the county fairgrounds in Heppner in the 4-H annex. Pre- registration is not necessary but par ticipants need to bring a snack for the break. The workshop begins at 8:45 a.m. and will end at 12 noon. For more information call Bennett at 676-9642. It’s about time we switched from cold and windy to hot and dry. But I’m not putting my winter coat away yet. The first day of June brought out the golfers in shorts, the ambitious car-washers and the “ go-fers” do ing gardening chores. Students are free of classrooms and are busy with summer jobs while thinking of swimming, fishing and vacation time activities. lone certainly knows how to pick the right weather for their annual church auction and barbecue. It was fiin to watch people intent on scrambling for bargains and coveting the things that others donated. Bill Rawlins and the faithful band of Heppner Garden Club ladies have been busy preparing the Main Street planters. Lots of effort goes into this project that makes our town look extra special. Along with colorful flowers in planters, there should be plenty of seating along Main Street. The 1991 senior class had the shop classes build ben ches for Main Street. It was their way of paying back the community in appreciation of the support they received in financing their Disneyland graduation trip, they said. It’s also time to fire up the barbecue grill and lug everything out to the backyard for a cook-out. The flavor of charcoal-grilled meat can whet ap petites while the swirling smoke makes eyes water. For entertainment one can fight off flies or count the ants marching to the feast. Lately there seems to be a surplus of large stink bugs big enough to pack saddles. And blow snakes seem to be in abundance. I was never good at high jumping, but these sneaky snakes have caused me to do some good fast footwork. But I wish these rodent catchers would leave yard policing to fat cats that keep dragging dead squirrels into the yard. Too bad there isn’t a boun ty on squirrels and badgers. These noctural creatures produce more holes than a moth in a wool sock. Their environmental destruction is hazardous to large four-footed creatures. I don’t like the thought of bone-breaking injuries inflicted because of a horse falling. Come fall, hunting regulations flustrations could be taken out on badgers. But don’t forget the orange-colored attire. Just make sure that the red cap and the camouflage pants don’t clash. It seems that fashion is going to be emphasized even in hunting camps. But so far, there are no mandates as to the length of beard or the amount of coffee grounds simmering in the pot on the camp fire. However, some of the coffee I’ve tasted in hunting camps could walk on its own through three feet of snow. Here’s to summer and may all those white legs and pasty-colored bodies acquire a more golden tone without frying faces and burning noses. It’s always interesting to see deeply-tanned arms joined to a body that looks like it's been kept in the dark room. Summer reading program to get underway at library awarded every week.

WI!, !: y Merlynn Robinson' “ P a r e n ts a r e re s p o n s ib le f o r h e lp - The summer reading program for children is underway at the Heppner City Library, according to librarian Dorthy Wilson. Pre-school through seventh-grade may “ Read Around the World” by reading three books a week. Children will keep a record of books read in a log book and prizes will be undefeated teams tor the final day of play. Unfortunately, their first Sun day opponent was a tall team from Teko-O aksdale, WA. Teko- Oaksdale was this year’s state cham pion in Washington at the B level. Although they lost three players from that team, their younger players filled the gaps nicely. The Cards managed just one bucket in the second quarter and had a few too many turnovers to stay in the con test, losing 25-51. The final game of the tourney was against East Valley of Yakima on their home court. The winner would be third and the loser would be seventh. East Valley used the home court advantage and a late game surge to pull out of the see-saw bat tle, 38-34. “ We played really well,” said coach Heideman. “ We’ve made a lot of progress since the end of last season. It was a great experience.” The boys’ team lost their Friday night opener to B rew ster, Washington falling by nine points. According to coach Del LaRue, the team played well but didn’t shoot well. Things turned around on Satur day as they defeated the CleElum, WA. JV team by about 20 points and followed up with a 12-point win over Dayton. Sunday morning, the Cards squared off with Pierce, Idaho, win ning that game by six points. That ------------ ~ - ir n~. t t .-ir : i . . . r i miifiw u» . tf
