Mustangs, Fillies enter season
with high expectations
By Jerem y M addern
The Heppner Mustangs and
Fillies are back this year with
high expectations and many im
portant spots to fill.
The Fillies lost only three peo
ple from last year's successful
team. With the loss of Nikki
Brisbois and Amy Greenup, head
coach Mark Dowdy has the task
of filling some big shoes.
The Fillies have three return
ing starters with Holly and
Heather Eckman and Nina
Tucker back this year to provide
experience. With a deep bench.
Dowdy has the luxury of deciding
on who to start from game to
game. The Fillies, small in size
with the tallest player on the
roster measuring 5'10” , are a
scrappy team and should be a
challenge for pow erhouse
Weston-McEwen for the top spot
in the CBC conference. The
Tiger Scots will be a tough team
to beat.
The Fillies roster consists of
C hristy C orw in, H eather
Eckman, Nina Tucker, Becky
Norton, Chrisy Schultz, Sara
Greenup, Jody Johnston, Holly
Eckman, Ruth Norton, Jenny
Krein, Toni Cutsforth and Kelsie
Evans.
The Junior Varsity this year is
under a new coach with Pam
Dowdy stepping in. The JV team
is young and hungry to learn and
Dowdy hopes to have a successful
season. The JV roster includes
Alissa Brownfield, Candis Mar
shall, Toni Cutsforth, Kelsie
Evans, Rondi Robinson. Erin
Fishbum, Gretchen Berretta,
Char Coe and Dani Hill.
The Mustangs, on the other
hand, have many new faces with
the departure of eight seniors last
year. The Mustangs are not very
big either, but will rely on the up
tempo type of offense and should
score a lot of points. Senior Jason
Britt is the only returning starter
from last years team. Ryan Cur-
rin, Rick Koffler and Charlie
Rathbun were key bench players
from last year’s team and should
step up and become quality
starters. The bench is deep and
talented. Head coach Lee
Padberg will deal with the lack of
size from the Mustangs roster,
with speed and outside shooting.
The Mustangs have heart but with
so many spots to fill from last
years team they will be a
challenge. The Mustangs are
looking forward to defending
their CBC conference champion
ship and will be a quality team.
Along with Britt, C urrin,
Rathbun and Koffler the rest of
the Mustang roster includes
Richard Pettyjohn, Scott Coe,
Shane Munkers, Tony Burt, Peter
Pearson, Kevin Payne, Len Britt-
ner and Austin Coiner.
The JV cagers have many new
faces with almost all of last year’s
team moving up to the varsity
level. Coach Greg Grant heads up
the young talented JV team. The
JV' roster includes Jeremy Mad-
dem, Peter Pearson, Mark Con
klin, Ryan Pence, Dwayne
Dunaway, Austin Coiner, Jim
Tellechea, Sam Sumner, Joe
Healy, Jered Wickland, Andy
Ashbeck, Jake Bacon and Jeff
Botefuhr.

Artifacts found at Forest Service
compound
‘
tern. “ Even if a building is raz-
Mary keith, U S FS archaeologist, shows glass medicine bottle
with a screw cap, discovered at the Forest Service building
site in Heppner.
Artifacts from the early 1900s
were discovered by Forest Ser
vice personnel while digging a
waterline at the Forest Service
compound on Main Street in
Heppner.
Discovered at the site were a
blue glass bead, a piece of china
with gold leaf, a medicine bottle
with a screw cap, a ceramic
statue-incense burner dated
around 1870-1900 that may have
been a religious or pagan figure,
spoons, plate shards, canning
jars, square nails,Depression type
glass, sawed animal bones and in
tact brick foundation.
“ We’re interested itT the ar
ticles,’ said USFS archaeologist
Mary Keith, “ but we’re also in
terested in the evidence of human
activity, so we can begin to
understand the community and
what ties Heppner had to the out
side world.”
Keith said that the artifacts,
such as a shard of china with gold
leaf im printed with W .M .
Chindley & Co., England, il
lustrate ties to the world market.
Also discovered at the site,
however, were plain ware that
may have been made in the area
and brick that was made in Hepp
ner. Both show something of the
Heppner community in the early
1900s.
Artifacts also show the finan
cial status of the people to whom
they belonged. A1 Burt, USFS,
surmises that the family that liv
ed in the home had been fairly
well off because of the presence
of the gold leaf china. Some of
the artifacts discovered had been
burned in a fire.
Keith says that the USFS com
pound 3-C buildings are main
tained as historic buildings since
they were built in the thirties, in
the pre-World War II years, so
artifacts discovered underneath
the compound were probably
from the 20s or 30s or earlier.
‘‘Underneath every house is a
series of building history,” said
Keith. She said that even if a
buildings foundation had been
removed the site would leave a
pattern, even if it were only
darkened soil. In other cases, the
artifacts themselves leave a pat-
ed and built over again, we still
can find evidence of it.”
Keith said that the Forest Ser
vice is concerned about protecting
artifacts and archaelogical sites.
“ A lot of artifacts walk off,” she
added. The forest services con
cern extends into recreation areas
and timber sales sites. ‘‘It’s easy
to design timber sales and recrea
tional projects around sites
without impairing the sites. That
was a concern of ours that we’d
be so modifying the sites.”
After the artifacts are gathered
they are cleaned and inventoried
and then sent to the supervisor’s
office for storage. Keith says they
hope to have a display at the new
Forest Service building now
under construction in Heppner.
Keith, who has a bachelor’s
degree in antrhopology from
Oakland University at Rochester,
Michigan, has worked for the
forest service since 1981 as a
seasonal worker and since 1987
as a permanent employee. She
has a special interest in ethno-
archaeology, the study of living
people or past cultures and is par
ticularly interested in the Colum
bia River Indians.
Melodie Burton, also an ar
chaeologist with the local Forest
Service office is involved in a
project concerning early days in
Heppner. She is seeking people
in the district who have stories,
either personal or passed down,
that they would share. Stop by the
Forest Service office in the Coast
to Coast Building or call
676-9187.
