TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 16, 1992 Mustangs keep perfect record with 21-8 win over Riverside Pirates The Heppner Mustangs kept their season record perfect with a 21-8 victory over the Riverside Pirates Friday night. Sept. 11 in Boardman. A quick start and a swarming defense helped the Mustangs get their second victory without a defeat on the young season. After an exchange of punts, the Mustangs took over on Riversides 48-yard line. Heppner got a first down and then Chris Dickenson scrambled over right tackle, pop ped outside and outraced the Pirate secondary to the end zone for a 38 yard touchdown. Dicken son, a 5' 11 ” 150 lb sophomore, gained 82 yards on 14 carries on the evening. Len Brittner added his first of three pats and Hepp ner led 7-0 with 2:30 left in the first period. The teams exchanged punts again with Rick Koffler hitting a 50 yarder, pinning the Pirates back to their 15 yard line. Kof fler punted for a 39.5 yard average on the windy night. On the third play from scrimmage, defensive end Tony Burt forced quarterback Mark Andreason to fumble and the other defensive end Dwayne Dunaway fell on the ball at the Riverside 26 yard line. Seven plays later junior Kevin Payne ran four yards around the right end and scored on a diving effort to the goal line. Payne in jured his right shoulder and didn't play for the remainder of the game. Brittner added the pat and with 6:26 left in the half Hepp ner led, 14-0. The active Heppner defense stuffed the Riverside offense for the remainder of the half. Senior linebackers Shane Munkers and T.R. Riehl led the defensive charge with safety Leonard Britt ner shinning in the defensive backfield. The entire defensive front line of Kevin Kilkenny, back from an early injury, Ryan Pence, Ryan Munkers, Dunaway and Burt, worked well as a unit holding the Pirates to only 81 yards rushing in the half, 43 of that on one play. Most fans thought the half was over and headed for the conces sion stand when Heppner took over on their own 38 yard line with 28 seconds left in the half. Coach Greg Grant had other ideas. Koffler hit Brittner with a 40 yard pass to wake the crowd up. Halfback Jim Tellechea caught another pass for a 10 yard gain to move the chains with four seconds left in the half. Koffler scrambled right and found Britt ner in the end zone as time ex pired for a touchdown. Brittner added the pat for a 21-0 halftime lead.

Newt, with his motley gray hair, lean frame, sad eyes and long nose, isn’t a dog show winner. But he’s a natural heeler. And when he is work ing with our son’s border collie, who is a header, they make a for midable pair. o Perhaps these dogs could be listed as “ unmarried domestic part ners.” However they don’t ask for a lot of fringe benefits. There are no costly premiums or a deductible for a veterinarian health care plan. But Newt doesn’t have a worry about health care expenses. Since he doesn’t own anything and he is not steadily employed, he should be eligible for free care under the welfare system. In a worse-case scenario, he should be treated as royally as any high-bred, well-heeled pooch or the able-bodied, over-qualified welfare taker. Newt only begs for a few fringe benefits. He’s content with a lit tle dog food, a choice morsel or bone, a soft place to sleep and a pat on the head. Some people might consider him homeless since he has an aversion to a doghouse. But he's not defensive about his territory. Quite innocently he’s kind to insurance agents and he even likes tax assessors. He’s not the type to wear a rhinestone-studded collar; it’s just a stringy old cowhide strap. He wouldn’t know what to do with a silky doggy bed made in Korea. And he really doesn’t care if the televi sion set is a domestic model or if the pickup radio was made in Japan. Sometimes Newt is on the job by watching for deer that can trample fragile riparian zones or ravish apple trees. The coyotes’ howls seem to tell him is those critters have dined on a pheasant entree or a choice bite of calf round steak. He’s a loyal worker that doesn’t receive a cost of living pay in crease since he isn’t a public employee. He doesn’t belong to a union that can bargain since his teaching skills are limited to cows and cats. Like the private business sector, I doubt that he understands a system that supports a public employment retirement fund while same tax payers are not able to do likewise. With lots of room to ramble. Newt isn't concerned about over crowding, the growing population of man and dogs or the struggles of young working families. But his family values--today’s buzz words- -do seem rather narrow. He doesn’t seem to care who is living with whom or whether any visiting canines are gay or sad. As long as his dog pan holds a few choice morsels, he doesn't care if increasing food growing production costs put a higher tab on his chow. Only the wind ruffles his hair, not paying bills and staying in business. Newt is a very modem dog, however. He is environmentally con scious and he is fully aware of which areas need natural fertilizer. A true protector of endangered species, not once did he molest a cot tontail bunny family that shared my garden this summer. And while flopped on his back, like a cast-out worn-out rug, a large ugly toad hopped right over his long nose. This dog’s lifestyle is somewhat lax. But to me, he isn’t anymore asleep at the switch than our ‘do-gooder’ law and rule makers-those that spend more efforts on moral issues rather than getting a handle on things that are causing an economic disaster.
