SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 28, 1996 Fillies lose to TigerScots in overtime, 30-23 Three from Heppner named to all-stars It looked like maybe a record for the lowest scoring game when the Heppner Fillies squared off against Weston- McEwen in district tournament action Friday, Feb. 23. The score was 3-2 in favor of Hepp ner at the end of the first quarter and only a 7-5 TigerScot lead at the end of the half. But things perked up in the second half when the game went into overtime where Weston-McEwen finally bested the Fillies 30-23. Despite working hard at it, neither team could crack the in side of the other's zone in the first half. This, coupled, with an unwillingness to shoot from the outside, produced the low scoring contest. Heppner nearly won the game in the final seconds of regulation' when Fillie center Josie Evans snagged a Weston- McEwen pass and flipped the ball on a fast break to Annie Hisler. But H isler's layin bounced out, and bounced the game into overtime. Heppner's offense went into deep freeze in OT as the Fillies couldn't manage to get any points, while the TigerScots downed 7 for the win. Leading scorer for Heppner was Tina Kemp with 7, follow ed by Lori Moeller, 6, Annie Hisler, 3, and Lexie Matteson, Jill Barber and Jaci Hughes with 2 each. Josie Evans had 1. A controversial possession call near the end of the game gave the ball twice in a row to Weston-McEwen, and caused a loud uproar from the Heppner crowd. One Heppner fan even ran on to the floor to protest the decision, and had to be restrained by tournament security personnel. The Heppner Mustangs land ed one player on the all conference basketball team, and the Fillies managed two. Mustang junior center Ben Hubert was picked to the first team and Fillies Lori Moeller and Annie Hisler were chosen to the second team.

Although the Mustangs never were ahead in the con test, they stayed close throughout and had several op portunities to take control. A strong first quarter, lead by several three pointers from Umatilla built a seven point Viking lead at the end of the first quarter, which the Mustangs were never able to overcome. The point total was no more than two in the other three quarters of the game. Heppner's offense was led by Ben Hubert, who finished with 14 points, followed by Adam Doherty with 9, Chris Sykes, 7, Justin Matteson, 6> Eric Schon- bachler, 3, and Jim Schlaich, 2. The opening round loss knocked the Mustangs out of the district tournament.

Heppner's Wee Bit O' Ire land celebration is being pro moted far and wide as I trek through the snow to Coeur d'Alene to the Northwest Chamber Leaders conference. With me is going a home grown wooden box from The Woodshed filled with various Irish goodies from Murray's and bundles of brochures to promote our community. Once we turn that calendar page, the celebration is upon us. The Chamber conference has been held in Portland for the past ten years, but apparently Idaho got tired of the long trip. I know one thing, it's much easier to get from Idaho to Portland than from Heppner to Idaho. If you have ever tried to fly that direction from Tri- Cities, Pendleton or Walla Walla, you learn that you first have to go to Portland or Seat tle. From Portland or Seattle, there's a $90 special, but from Pendleton, it's $235. You guessed it; I'm driving. Keynote speakers are varied from "Grand Illusions" to "Greeters and Ambassadors", "Untangling the W eb", the media, "Combating a Negative Community Image" and of course, networking with Chambers from four states. Thought for the week: Some times we need inspiration to bring about change or combat negative thoughts. For an all- over good feeling, see the movie "M r. Holland's Opus". Everyone in the theater ap plauded two or three times. It was filmed in Oregon; it hits home. It's all about us.

This project would include 227 acres of salvage from 3 units and 64 acres of commer cial thin and salvage from 1 unit for approximately 1.3 MMBF of wood products. Dead and dy ing trees would be harvested to reduce fire potential and im prove long-term forest health. Healthy, live ponderosa pine, western larch, grand fir, and Douglas-fir would be excluded from harvest. This would serve to promote serai species best suited to these sites, enhance growth, maintain vigor, im prove forest health, reduce fuel levels, and would bring the project area closer to its Historic Range of Variability and more ecologically sustainable con ditions. Activities that would occur concurrently or in association with harvest include: site pre paration (underburning) for tree regeneration or fuel reduc tion, planting of seedlings, sud- soiling of skid trails and land ings, and animal damage con trol.
