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

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.

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.
The Fillies open Regional
Tournament play this Friday,
March 4 at 1:30 p.m. in a loser
out game against Imbler at the
Convention Center in Pendleton.

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.
Reverend M ark Pow ers,
