Her young Filly squad has the talent and the determination to win, and they usually take their best of three matches in two games. Hisler worked each girl into every match, sometimes resorting to “platooning” in as many as five, substitutes at a time. With this type o f coaching style these girls have learned the meaning o f teamwork. The Fillies C-team capped the night by taking it to the Cardinal C ’s 15-4, 15-6. Game One saw the Heppner C ’s achieving only 75 percent serving success, but making up for it in aggressive net play with kills coming from Ashley Ropp, Trisha Adams, Amy Drake and Allison Sykes. Game Two, the C ’s seem to ell, serving 91 percent with Drake again scoring kills and slocking hits as the Filly C’s won easily.

O. Box 127, Boardman, OR 97818 OPEN LETTER TO BOB RIDGWAY Wednesday night you & I were in Heppner appearing at the Heppner Chamber of Commerce Candidate's Forum. You smiled, shook my hand & visited with me. Generally you acted as if you were a friend. I spoke to those in attendance first. Among other things I told them that I had past experience as a municipal court judge pro tern. You then spoke of your experience. You never said a word about your opinion of my experience. After the meeting, your campaign worker & I chatted about how nice it had been to maintain a high level campaign. She commented that it was important that we continue to be civil throughout the campaign. Imagine my surprise on Thursday to read your letter to the voters in the East Oregonion about how offended & angry you were. Those are awfully strong words. You say I lied in an advertisement about having experience as a municipal court judge. I haven't hidden my experience. As you know, I said in the voter's pamphlet that I was a municipal court judge pro tern in The Dalles in 197 5-76. I don't recall the title "deputy city recorder”. Perhaps the city used it. The effect was the same. I served as a pro tern judge. The extent of my experience has not been a secret. When in The Dalles, I put on the judge's robe & walked into the courtroom. I presided over trials, sentenced defendants and performed marriages. W e both know, however, that while municipal court plays an important role in enforcing city ordinances, the simplicity of municipal court is so far removed from the complexities of Circuit Court that the only real similarities are the rituals and the robes. At the start of the campaign, my committee asked for the support of many people, including fellow attorneys. As you and I both know, that request for support is both legal and ethical. Let's return to a positive campaign. Sincerely, ? Garry L. Reynolds GARRY REYNOLDS Candidate for Circuit Court Judge 6th Judicial District, Position #1 . 24 S O E ast M ain H erm tw on O * I
