Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 1, 1994 - THREE Soldiers remember D-Day Mustangs take Elgin 10-0 . Pitcher Jered Wicklund threw a no-hitter against Elgin The Heppner Mustangs show ed Elgin who the better team was in the opening round of state playoff action Friday, May 27 downing the Huskies 10-0 in five innings. Senior pitcher Jered Wicklund pitched a no-hitter in the one sided contest. The Mustangs showed well on offense too, racking up nine hits and gaining 12 walks, all in five innings. Chad Skroch was first to move the ball, managing a double in the second inning, later to score when sophmore centerfielder Rod Zumwalt whacked a double to bring him home. In the third inning Rick Kof- fler, Chris Dickenson Jim Tellechea and Sam Sumner all showed some offense. Dickenson was put on base after he was hit by the ball. Kof- fler drove Dickenson in with a double, then Telechea brought Sumner and Koffler home on another double. And from there on out it was Heppner’s game all the way. Big hitters for the day were Sumner with a sacrifice fly, RBI and two runs scored; Tellechea walk, sacrifice bunt and three RBIs, and Koffler and Dickenson both scoring three runs each. Wicklund’s sidearm pitch pro ved to much for the Huskies that day, as he only walked two bat ters and came so close to the perfect game. This was the Huskies third loss to the Mustangs this year. Knappa ends Mustangs playoff hopes continued from page 2 paratroopers in January 1944. On D-Day he was attending parachute school in Ft. Benning Georgia. Although he attended radio school, he became a machine gunner. On September 17, 1944, the date of the 101st second airborne D—Day, Norene’s regiment dropped into Holland for “ Operation Market Garden” . They were replacements for the men lost during the Normandy in vasion. While the first planes spewed parachutists and gliders crash landed on Dutch lowlands, planes and gliders transporting these troops were still taking off from British airfields. Their mission was to secure bridges and the main high way winding through Holland to facilitate the advance of the 2nd British Army in this flooded dike- controlled land. “ Screaming Eagle” sky fighters dropped like rain behind enemy lines although pilot sacrifices were common. “ There are many memories, none forgotten,” Norene said, recalling those days of hand-to- hand fighting. At one time broken foot bones took him out of action for a short time. However a sniper bullet found its mark in his knee that ended his military life. He was discharged in December 1945. The Norenes reside in Heppner where he has continued with a long-term practice. Jim and his wife, Cork, opted to not join in this year’s overseas anniversary events. Instead they visited Holland last year where they toured battle sites and war memorials. They were hosted by relatives of Cork Nutting Norene. Dutch people are very hospitable Norene said, adding that the Dutch continue to teach young people that their country was liberated thanks to help from American troops that began on D-Day.

Garden Club hears program June July Aug. Sept The lone Garden Club met at the home of Joyce Buchanan on May 11. Elsie Huston presented information on companion plants from a book entitled “ Carrots Love Tomatoes” by Louise Riotte. Riotte noted that some plants repel insects, moles and other destructive bugs such as aphids, ants and mites, so that others can thrive. Notably these include those of the alium fami ly which include chives, garlic and shallots. Herbs such as basil, parsley and borage also help to keep insects away from plants. A solution of chives will remove powdery mildew on gooseberry plants. Nasteriums planted around the base of trees help to control aphids. Lady bugs also help to control aphid but one can not use chemicals at the same time. Those present told of ways they had used various plants such as marigolds in the garden because of the odor and also the sap from the plant which goes in to the soil to repel insects. Election of officers was held with Delta Huber elected presi dent; Birdine Tullis, vice presi dent; Phyllis Anderson secretary and Helen Martin, treasurer. The club voted to donate $10 to the Heppner Ranger Station for trees to be planted in the Umatilla National Forest as their contribu tion for 1994 Arbor celebration.
