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

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.

LaRue. The Cards played one of

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
