The Heppner Fillies opponent
Saturday night Feb. 15 was the
Stanfield Tigers on the Fillies
home court. The Fillies proved to
be the better team as they went
on to a 54-18 win.
The Fillies started out slow,
though, only scoring eight points
in the first quarter but with great
defense had an early four point
lead. The Fillies swarming
defense produced 27 steals and
only committed 17 turnovers.
The Fillies heated up in the se
cond quarter and posted 19 points
to Stanfield’s six.
Heppner went into the third
quarter with a 17 point lead but
kept the pressure on the Tigers
and outscored them 16-4 in the
third quarter. The Fillies controll
ed their own fate and were not
going to give any mercy on the
Tigers as they kept increasing
their lead. The Fillies eventually
cooled down but not before a 36
point win margin. Becky Norton
had an excellent game for the
Fillies with 14 points and was se
cond to Heather Eckman’s 16
point performance. With the win
the Fillies have clinched second
place in the Columbia Basin Con
ference. The Fillies will play
Wasco County Saturday Feb. 22
in their last home game before

Tourism program set in lone
Wendy Cloyd, assistant direc
tor of the State Travel Informa
tion Council presented program
offerings in lone Wednesday,
Feb. 19. The council is respon
sible for signs of a tourism nature
to help the motoring visitor find
hospitality and historical sites, as
well as other related oppor
tunities, said a press release.
“ The travel information coun
cil has been very sensitive to the
business and other tourism related
facilities in the rural areas of our
state,” says Cloyd. “ They have
provided more flexible rules
where they could, and lowered
fees significantly to make pro
grams easier for the rural areas.”
The state agency, totally self-
supporting through the use of sign
fees, has recently adopted the
rustic historic sign program from
the department of transportation.
This program and how new signs
may be placed, will be the focus
of Cloyd’s presentation.

The congregations of Hope and
Valby Lutheran churches are
sponsoring a service of healing on
Sunday. Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at
Hope Lutheran Church. “ In
some ways this is a new concept
for Lutherans,” said Rev. Stan
Hoobing. “ We always pray for
the sick and shut-ins and for doc
tors and medical staff, but a ser
vice for healing is new. And yet
in many ways this service for
healing is as old as the scrip
tures.” Healing was practiced in
the old testament with readings,
prayers and anointing of oil. Jesus
healed the sick, the lame and the
blind. His disciples did works of
healing with spoken word and the
laying on of hands and anointing
with oil.
“ Everyone is invited to come
to the service and see what a ser
vice of healing can do for your
life,” said Hoobing.
Pastor Hoobing will preach on
the theme of “ New Life in
Christ” during the morning wor
ship service. Valby worship ser
vice, located outside of lone,
begins at 9 a m. and Hope
Lutheran church located near the
dam, begins at 11 a.m. The
message will be taken from the
scripture reading of I Corinthians
15: 35-38a, 42-50.

Bucknum’s Tavern, Heppner, Oregon
This is commonly called a pool Calcutta. How it works is each pool team (2
[players) is auctioned off before the tournament. If your team wins, you win a
^percentage of the total auction pot. It usually averages several hundred dollars
►for 1st place.
Winnings will be paid for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
There will be 16 teams to bid on. The public is encouraged to come bid on
[their favorite pool players. A list of players will appear in next week's paper.
A sign up sheet for pool players is posted at Bucknum's Tavern.
Balance of the auction proceeds will go
to benefit the George Waterland family.
