lone Middle School team "tenacious"
By Jeremy Rietmann
The lone Middle School's
(IMS) basketball program was
launched last week and is off to
a good start. Dale Holland, the
IMS boys' coach for the past
three years, says he is looking
forward to working with "such
a tenacious team."
"W e have many eager play
ers, although not a lot of
height," Coach Holland said.
He also does not think that the
limited number of players will
be a factor this year because it
will mean more playing time
for everyone. Holland's main
goal is to "turn young players
into fundamentally sound
players."
There will be a "A " team and
a " B " team as there has been
in the past. Holland feels that
his sixth graders have "a lot of
potential and will be a tremen
dous help to the team."
The IMS Cardinals' first
game will be Friday, Dec. 6 at
3 p.m. against the Arlington
Goslings in Arlington.

The lone High School Car
dinal boys' varsity Coach Del
LaRue says, "everything is go
ing very well so far and this
year the team will be very com
petitive." Seventeen players
turned out this season.
Coach LaRue says the strong
points of the team include its
experience, the number of
players, and shooting ability.
The team's main objective is
"to make it back to Baker City
and win the state champion
ship."
This year, LaRue says, his
team will be tough defensive
ly. He says that they are quick
and have "great court aware
ness." Although they lack size,
he said they will try to over
come this weakness by putting
continuous pressure on the
other team. LaRue says this
year "will be very exciting and
will keep the fans on the edge
of their seats."

It was a "Town and Coun
try" happening as eight people
within the Heppner city limits
and six from the country
gathered to refurbish the
Heppner Christmas wreath
decorations at the fire hall.
Many hands made light work
and within an hour the job was
complete, leaving the "work
ers" to enjoy refreshments pro
vided by Yaw's.
It's not too early to begin
planning for the 1997 decora
tions, as the current wreaths
will have to be retired or mov
ed out of the Main Street
blocks. Longtime Chamber
lighting chairman Bill Kuhn
threatens to retire with the
decorations. He was on hand
along with Fred Toombs of Col
umbia Basin Electric Co-op,
Tom Rawlins of Heppner TV,
Dan Brosnan and Randall
Peterson to hang the wreaths-
no easy task. What would we
do without our "behind the
scenes" people? Things would
be very different. Let them
know they are appreciated.
One and all are invited to
"Deck the Tree" with the
Chamber on Sunday, Dec. 8, at
4:30 p.m. Bring a large, weath
erproof ornament and holiday
enthusiasm. There will be hot
chocolate and caroling led by
members of the South Morrow
Community Choir. Where's
the tree? By the Post Office.
Have you noticed the corn-
unity bulletin board located at
Central Red Apple Market?
Community sponsors provided
this opportunity for scheduled

should contact the Chamber of

ed on the monthly calendar of

lone JV season
looks promising
By Shelby Krebs and Jeremy

Dean Robinson, coach of the
lone High School JV Cardinals,
says his top priority this season
is "to teach and help his play
ers reach varsity level."
"Adjusting to different play
ers will be the biggest problem
this season," he said, but also
says he has the strongest team
he's coached in three years.
Although experience is the
team's weakest area, Coach
Robinson hopes to have a suc
cessful JV season.

TION, NOTICE OF EX
CHANGE PROPOSAL
SUMMARY: In accordance
with 43 CFR 1610.2 and 1610.3
and 43 CFR 2200, notice is
given that the Bureau of Land
Management in the State of
Oregon, Vale District, Baker
Resource Area, intends to
analyze a potential amendment
to the Baker R.A. Resource
Management Plan (RMP). The
potential amendment will in
volve adjustment of land
tenure designations. Currently
the Baker RMP designates on
ly two land tenure adjustment
categories. The potential
amendment would reclassify
those areas with special de
signations into a "retention on
ly" zone, thus adding an addi
tional category. If necessary,
the purpose of the plan amend
ment would be to make avail
able for exchange certain lands
located in Baker, Umatilla,
Union, and Morrow Counties
in Northeastern Oregon and
would facilitate exchange pro
posals that involve the Prine-
ville District BLM, Baker R.A.,
numerous private property
holders, and a third party
facilitator.
Subject to valid existing rights,
most of the public lands refer
red to herein have been segre
gated from appropriation un
der the public land laws and
mineral laws for a period of five
years, beginning May 24, 19%.
A complete list of specific lands
segregated will be available in
the same locations as the other
elements of the supporting
record, as noted elsewhere in
this notice.
DATES: A two purpose public
comment period is provided at
this time. Publication of this
Notice in the Federal Register
starts the 45 day comment
period necessary to meet public
notification requirements for
both the Notice of Intent to
prepare to prepare plan
amendments, an EIS and the
Notice of Realty Action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFOR
MATION:
The Prineville District's Two
Rivers (1986) and John Day
(1985, 1995) Resource Manage
ment Plans and the Vale
District's Baker (1989, 1992)
Resource Management Plan
(RMPs) currently provide
general management guide
lines for land tenure adjust
ments as well as overall land
resource use allocations and
resource protection or enhance
ment. Although it is anticipated
that the final decisions for land
exchanges considered through
this analysis will be in full con
formance with the applicable
RMPs, it is possible that por
tions of some actions under
some alternatives may not be in
full conformance with the ap
proved plans, as required by 43
Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Subpart 1610.5-3, "Con
formity and Implementation".
The environmental analysis
and public and interagency
review process anticipated for
this analysis are expected to ful
ly comply with the Bureau's
regulations for land use plan
ning, including land use plan
amendments, public involve
ment and coordination with
other Federal agencies, State
and local governments and In
dian tribes, (43 CFR 1610.2,
1610.3 and 1610.5-5). This will
allow the analysis to consider
land tenure strategies which
are inconsistent with the cur
rent direction or substantially
affect other resource uses and
allocations in one or more of
the subject approved RMPs.
Any approved decisions which
amend the applicable plans will
be incorporated into the plans
and become part of the perma
nent planning record. Any re
finements or clarifications of
management direction, priori
ty of disposal or use of acquired
lands will be incorporated into
the applicable plans and
documented through publish
ed plan maintenance reports,
as provided under 43 CFR
1610.5-4. Copies of the three ex
isting approved plans ( as
amended) will be available in
the same locations as the other
elements of the supporting
record, as noted elsewhere in
this notice.
The decisions made through
this analysis are expected to be
implemented through a rela
tively complex series of land
tenure adjustment actions over
a period of several years. Al
though the intent is to consum
mate the majority of the ex
changes within approximately
two years of the approval of the
decision(s), some residual ac
tions or independent land ex
changes which are in confor
mance with the analysis and
decisions and associated ap
proved RMPs may occur over
a period of ten or more years.
In effect, this analysis will serve
both to facilitate the ongoing
project as well as future actions
that fall under the program
matic nature of this analysis.
Future exchanges or other land
transfers would be subject to
