Man killed in accident at Blake's
Linsey Ropp of Lexington
has just had a "on ce in a
lifetim e" experience.
The 15 year old Heppner
High School sophomore was
lucky enough to draw a tag for
a big horn sheep and bagged a
big one at the Hart Mountain
Antelope Refuge on Sept. 11.
Linsey shot the sheep on the
sixth day of her hunt about 35
miles from Lakeview in Lake
County, around 125 miles
southwest of Bums. The sheep,
shot at around 200 yards, field
dressed at 175 pounds and had
an "e x c e lle n t" Boone and
Crockett score of 167-2/8 in
ches. Boone and Crockett is a
measurement o f the the big
sheep's horns.
Linsey and her dad, Vilas,
camped out during the hunt
and back packed for about four
days into the refuge.
Vilas got a big horn sheep
three years ago in the same
hunt. Tw o other Heppner area
people had tags this year, Con
nie Holmquist, who was also
successful, and Herman W in
ter, who will depart on his hunt
shortly.
Vilas says that they plan to
have the sheep mounted, but
also enjoy its meat. Mom Deb
bie says that it tastes better than
lamb, more like elk meat.
Richard Shockman, H er
miston, was killed Sept. 20 in
an accident at Blake's Ranch.
According to M orrow Coun
ty District Attorney Earl R.
Woods, Jr., Shockman was
transporting a backhoe on a flat
bed lowboy trailer in the vicini
ty of Blake's Ranch when he

The W illo w C reek Park
District Board had a feasibility
study done to present several
options for a swimming pool
for south Morrow County. The
preferred options selected from
this faaabflity study was a four-
lane, 25-yard outdoor swimm
ing pool with a zero-depth fan
(like a beach without the sand)
and a deep plunge pool and
slide.
In addition , this option
would have a 20 x 20 indoor
pool tank and a multi-purpose
room included in the dressing
room building. The initial idea
is for this indoor facility to be
used for swimming instruction
and exercise or therapy on a
part-time basis and to extend
the use of the facility for these
uses one or tw o months on
either end o f the swimming
season. A t this time, it is not in
tended to be for recreational
use and not to be open for the
entire winter season.
The estimated cost for the
fa c ility as p rop osed was
$1,224,500. The park district
board agreed that a tax burden
in excess o f $975,000 was too
much to ask the district tax
payers to bear. If the total pro
ject is to be realized, the money
