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.

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.

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.
Twenty-five dollars was given to
the lone Fourth of July celebra
tion for prizes.
Jean Nelson and Birdine Tullis
reported on the District #10

lone elementary children in the

grades presented a skit for their
parents on the Smokey Bear’s
