Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 2, 1994 - FIVE Fillies ‘Refuse to Lose’ win in OT ' Refuse to Lose' may have been a sign posted for the Cardinals but that’s what the Heppner Fillies did also last Friday night, Feb. 25 as they beat the Pilot Rock Rockgts in overtime 42-39 at the Pendleton Convention Center. It was a ‘do or die’ situation for the Fillies as the win ensured them a playoff spot at Regionals this weekend and a loss would have ended their season. Heppner held a one point lead when Kelsie Evans was fouled in the last seconds of the game. Evans hit one of two free throws giving the Fillies the edge by a bucket. Pilot Rock inbounded the ball to Shelly Whitney who made her only two points in the game on a 15 foot jump shot to put the game into overtime. The Fillies had trouble finding the hole as most of their basket attempts were not going through. While the Rockets put pressure on the Fillies causing turnovers and foul trouble Heppner held their biggest lead of the game at halftime with one of their lowest scores of the season 18-14. The Rockets came out in the third quarter still pressuring the Fillies to take the lead at the end of three 27-24. The Fillies man-to-man defense shut down quick passes to Lisa Neeley and Jennifer Humphreys P ho to by Jo y ce H u g h e s Char Coe guards Pilot Rock player while both teams fought for the lead. The Rockets held Kelsie Evans to just 13 points while Holly Eckman chipped in 10' for the Fillies. Evans also had four assists and steals while Eckman Photo by Jo y ce H u g h e s 202 1st. N. W. P.O. Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Use Caution with Unproven Treatments A recent issue of the FDA Con sumer, a publication of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), discusses “unproven" rem edies which may be ineffective. According to the FDA, Americans spend almost $30 billion each year for such remedies. But perhaps more im portant than wasting money, these remedies cause harm ful side effects in one out of ten persons. Examples of frauds or quackery cited by the FDA include: • Oral chelation therapy may consist of nutrients that may be promoted for breaking down ar tery plaque and preventing cardio vascular disease. Spray Rodeo queen tryouts grabbed eight rebounds. Jenny Krein, Sara Greenup and Char Coe all finished with four points each. Cheri Rosenburg led the Rockets with 11 points. The Heppner Fillies couldn’t hold off the big Weston-McEwen team Saturday, Feb. 26 as they lost their defending District championship title in a tough game 52-44. Holly Eckman pulled the Fillies within two points in the last two minutes of the game, but the TigerScots defense held Heppner scoreless for the remainder of the game, forcing the Fillies to foul and capitalizing'on their trips to the charity stripe. Eckman scored 20 points to help the Filly cause and grabbed eight rebounds. The TigerScots proved to be too big and tough inside for the Fillies as they led at the half 23-19. The Fillies battled back as they took a lead in the third q u arte r, but co u ld n 't stop Elizabeth Hansell as she led the TigerScots with 17 points, nine rebounds, three assists and two steals. Jodi Johnston and Kelsie Evans both had nine points to help the Fillies.

Some places have jagged ma jestic peaks, appearing to be formed with violence; some have flattened ground as far as the eye can see, looking as if a hand had smashed everything in sight; while Heppner has soft-rounded hills, rolling with the punches, like the people. This was one of many observations that came to mind as I stood on top of the highest rimrock on the ranch. For someone whose most strenuous form of exercise is pushing a chair away from a desk or bear ing down on a gas pedal, this was akin to climbing Mt. Everest and well worth it. To the south were snow-covered mountains, to the north, the breaks of the Colum bia, to the east, clouds blowing in and to the west, a sundog as the sun dropped behind the hills. Houses and bams were miniscule and the only sound was the screech of a hawk, a cow calling her calf, and the howl of a coyote. And what, you ask, has this to do with chamber? It has to do with people, with priorities, with rela tionships, with putting things in perspective, with escaping from one more repeat of the ice skating media hype, with life. One of us alone is very insignificant in the whole scheme of things, but together we can make a difference. We’re called upon to make a difference as the Oregon Depart ment of Transportation holds a public meeting in Pendleton, March 10 from 4-8 p.m. at the Vert Little T heater. It’s crucial that many Heppner bodies show up at the open-house style meeting to remind ODOT of the importance of keeping Heppner’s Main Street project in the six-year plan. Public comment really counts and if we ever want to see a tree-lined Main Street with new sidewalks, come out in force to make a difference. Since March 10 is Mustang and Filly day in Pendleton, everyone is encourag ed to visit the Vert between games to prove Heppner has great teamwork in all areas. Auction items needed. Think green, as that’s the main topic for next week's column. Heppner’s Wee Bit O ’lreland celebration is just 17 days away. What does it cost to put on the celebration? Approximately $8,000 each year, and the St. Pat's Committee depends on the success of the auc tion to support the event. Please put it on your agenda, as a place to donate, or bring visitors to buy, or to provide manpower to run the event. Thought for the week: Make time to climb a hill, your body may ache, but your mind will be clear.
