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.

Umatilla builds early lead, beats Mustangs 47-41
The Heppner Mustangs gave
Umatilla trouble all year, and
Friday's district tournament
basketball game wasn't any dif
ferent, as the Mustangs hung
in against the the league
leading Vikings before succum
bing 47-41.
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.

Morrow County Search and
Rescue is seeking new
members.
Terry Harper, Morrow Coun
ty Sheriff’s Office senior depu
ty and Search and Rescue coor
dinator, says that the group is
down to around seven mem
bers and they are seeking
another 10 to 15 people.
Harper says that Search and
Rescue members assist in sear
ching for lost or injured people,
traditionally lost hunters and
now more often, lost mush
room pickers, and for lost
children. They also help with
the mock emergency and on oc
casion help search for downed
aircraft.
Search and Rescue training
meetings are held once a
month usually on Sunday for
around four hours. The
meetings will include map and
compass reading instruction,
search strategy, survival skills,
man tracking and helicopter
safety. After Search and Rescue
members are certified, they will
be trained in operating All Ter
rain Vehicles (ATVs).
Those interested in applying
may pick up an application at
the Morrow County Sheriff's
Office or call them at 676-5317.
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.

Heppner Ranger District
Hollywood Salvage Sale
Environmental Assessment
The Heppner Ranger District
of the Umatilla National Forest
has completed an Environmen
tal Assessment for the propos
ed salvage and commercial thin
of 291 acres located in Morrow
County, Oregon, T.5S., R.27E.,
sections 19, 29, and 30.
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. Portions of three of the
