Heppner High School fire in heater Pick up HHS/
A smoldering heater in a
classroom trigered a fire alarm
at Heppner High School
around 6:56 p.m. Monday.
Nov. 4.
According to head custodian
Stub Lewis, another custodian
was vacuuming around 6:30
p.m. that day and got
something caught in his
vacuum,
which
started
smoking. Believing that was
the cause o f the smoke, Lewis
went home, only to receive a
call around 15 minutes later.
Lewis said that there was
soot on the desks and smoke,
but no flames. He said that the
fire was believed to have been
caused by a short in the heater.
The heater is a large one,
around six feet long, three feet
high and two feet wide.
Lewis said alarms at the high
school go into a Portland
security system and are then
dispatched to local authorities.

The dedication o f the new
veteran's memorial will be
held on Veteran's Day,
Monday, November 11, at 11
a.m. at the Heppner Memorial
Mini-Park, located on highway
74 (Linden Way) between
Hinton and Willow creeks.
„ A
Everyone is invited to attend
the
dedication
"in
remembrance o f those brave
Bill Monahan was the first
young man from Heppner to be
sent to Vietnam. Before it was
over, 44 others would follow
over a span of 15 years.
Bill's older brother, Mike,
also went, but he attended col
lege first, so Bill went over
before Mike. They were not the
only brothers from Heppner
that served in Vietnam. Besides
the Monahans, Lawrence and
Tom Green, Gary and Jay Ball,
Richard and David Clark and
David and Harold Gray were
all brothers serving in the war.
With Heppner being a com
munity of less than 1,500 peo
ple, 45 Vietnam veterans is a
high number in comparison to
total numbers of men sent from
all across the United States.
And these are not all the
veterans from Heppner during
this time. Many young men
from Heppner were in the arm
ed forces and did not go to
Vietnam, but served their coun
try throughout the world and

Heppner Colts
The Heppner Colts had a
rough season this year. Al
though they had three defeats
in three games, co-coach Kelly
Fox says that they gained more
out of the season than three
losses. When asked what was
the most exciting moment of
the year Fox said, "The most
exciting part of the year for me
was watching the kids improve
dram atically. They really
matured through the year and
learned a lot. But for the fans
the most exciting moment was
watching the kids play in an
overtime game, when they lost
14-12. "
Co-coach was John McCabe,
assistants were Hal Bergstrom,
Chad Doherty, and Craig
Angel.

nearly a half of Heppner's
