The Mustangs had beaten the Eagles earlier this season with great ease. This time it was no different as the Mustangs crush ed the Eagles. Heppner was unstoppable as they have been all year long. The Mustangs rolled to a 22-13 lead in the first quarter. The Eagles could not stop Hepp- ners big men Len Brittner and Tony Burt who each turned in a 20 point performance. The Mustangs showed no signs of let ting up as they went on to a 41 -22 lead at the half. The Mustangs defense was stellar as they kept every Eagle player in check as their leading scorer could only muster 11 points. The Mustangs were showing the Eagles why they are the best team in the league as they extended their lead to 28 by outscoring the Eagles 20-11 in the third quarter. With the big lead head coach Lee Padberg emptied his bench.

The pivotal game of the season is this Friday, Feb. 5, for the Mustangs as they take on the Weston- McEwen TigerScots for the number one spot in the league.

(PGE) has applied for a site cer tificate, with the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council (EFSC) and the Oregon Deparment of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to develop the proposed Coyote Springs Cogeneration Facility at the Port of Morrow Industrial Park, located along the Colum bia River in Morrow County. “ Coyote Springs provides us an exciting opportunity to move forward with least-cost energy ODtions to meet our customers’ needs. Cogeneration, along with our a|gressive energy efficiency and renewable resource plans, will help replace a portion of the Trojan Nuclear Plant’s output as well as meet future growth in our region,” says Dick Reiten, PGE president. “ We appreciate the support and cooperation that we have received from the Port of Morrow and the city of Board- man to bring the project to this stage.” The proposed 440-megawatt Coyote Springs plant will serve two needs for the region. It will provide steam to the Port of Mor row Industrial Park, which is home to several large food pro cessing plants requiring large amounts of steam for their opera tions. It will also generate elec tricity for PGE customers and help diversify PGE’s resource base. Currently, natural gas is used to generate only steam at the park. Through cogeneration, natural gas can be used to generate both steam for food pro cessing as well as electricity in a highly efficient, cost-effective manner while using less natural gas than if both steam and elec tricity were produced separately. “ Coyote Springs is an ideal project for our overall develop ment plan,” says Gary Neal, Port of Morrow General manager. “ The steam will not only make our present food processors more competitive, but will help us at tract new industries. The Port of Morrow is proud to have played a pivotal role in bringing the pro ject to this point,” Neal added. Through the state permitting process started with this applica tion, PGE will demonstrate that the proposed Coyote Springs pro ject will be built and operated in accordance with all Federal and State laws related to siting, safe ty, and the protection of the en vironment. Approximately two years of construction would follow receipt of the site cer tificate. anticipated within a year of this application. On Friday, January 15, PGE requested firm transportation space with Pacific Gas Transmis sion, a privately owned and operated natural gas supplier to the region, which would support the proposed Coyote Springs project.

The Heppner Fillies, coming off their first loss of the season barely squeaked by the Wahtonka Eagles with an overtime win in a league game last Saturday, Jan. 30. The Fillies beat the Eagles on the Eagle’s home court 38-33. The Fillies had humiliated the Eagles in a game earlier in the season but were taken to the limit again as they were taken into overtime once again. The Fillies managed to pull off the win to avoid their second loss of the season. Heppner looked as they were going to kill the Eagles as their defense held the Eagles to just two points for a 9-2 lead. The Fillies’ offense was uanble to get going due to the slow pace the Eagles established early in the game. The pace was to the Eagles advantage as they came within four points of the Fillies, heading into the second half. Engagements Photo by Joyce Hughes The Fillies were frustrated as the Eagles held on to the ball one to two minutes each time down the court as they were neutraliz ing the Fillies fast break. With their game plan the Eagles led by one point heading into the fourth quarter. The Fillies then dug themselves a hole, but came back to tie the game and send it to overtime. The Fillies had new confidence and it showed as they squeaked out a win. The Fillies were led by Kelsie Evans who had 13, follow ed by Holly Eckman who chip ped in 10. The Fillies are now 5-1 in league play and 11-1 overall. The Weston-McEwen TigerScots are their next opponent in a pivotal league game. The TigerScots are the only undefeated team in league play.
