FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October The Eagles have not landed Janelle Healy (13) puts one over the net while Petra Elguezabal (12), Jill Barber (11), and Annie Hisler (5) look O n. photo by Joyce Hughes By Molly Rhea hit 3/3 with one kill. Amber Peck was 1/2 with one kill, Janelle Healy tipped 1/1 for a kill and combined for a block, while Jaci Hughes hit 1/1. In JV action the Mustangs plucked and seared the fledgling Eagles to deliver the win, 15-11, 15-5. The young Mustangs looked a little balky in game one, suffering a few miscues to allow the Eagles to sail to a 8-4 lead. At that point Macy Rhea stepped behind the service line to score points five through 12, the Mustangs bolted to the lead and stayed there, winning 15-10. In the second game the JV Mustangs again lagged back while the Eagles winged to a 4-0 lead. Kim Pointer used her turn behind the service line to put the Mustangs ahead 5-4, then after the Wahtonka server netted one, Kathleen Greenup iced the win by scoring points six through 13. The junior varsity went on to win the game and the match, 15-5. In this mostly service match the JVs were 100 percent (19/19) in the first game and went 18/21 (86 percent) in the second and 93 percent for the match. This is a busy week of net action as all three of the Heppner teams saw action on Tuesday, October 14, against the Pilot Rock Rockets. Sherman County will be in town on Thursday, October 16, for their rematch. The JV and C team travel to La Grande on Friday, October 17, to play LaGrande's C teams. On Saturday, October 18, both Umatilla and Stanfield come to Heppner for another varsity round robin. Heppner will finish up their regular season schedule on Tuesday, October 21, by taking on the second-place Tiger-Scots in Athena. The Mustangs hope to hang onto their undisputed first place slot. Columbia Basin Conference league champions earn a bye for the district tournament and proceed directly to first round state playoffs on November 1. Teams earning second through fourth place will compete on Saturday, October 25, at Umatilla for the opportunity to go into the state playoffs in second place. If two teams end the season tied for first place, a playoff will be scheduled prior to the district tournament. The Wahtonka Eagles swooped into Heppner Thursday, October 9, in an attempt to dig their claws into the Columbia Basin leading Mustangs. Although at one point it looked as though the Eagles may have landed, the feisty Mustang squad refused to be used as a perch and came away with the match, 14-16, 15-6, 15/10, to remain unbeaten in CBC action. Heppner played scrappy in game one with Mindy Binschus, Jill Barber, Jessica Van Winkle and Petra Elguezabal working the Eagles over at the net. The Mustangs were up eight to three, then 13 to nine, but just when another victory looked to be in the bam with a 14 to 10 lead, the Eagles came flying back behind the hitting of Katie Lewis to snatch the win 16-14. The Mustangs quickly got their feet back underneath them for game two, established the lead and refused to relinquish it. Heppner was ahead 6-2 when VanWinkle went behind the line to serve up points seven through 11; three of these efforts were aces. After a hard hitting complete rotation the Mustangs were leading 14 to six when VanWinkle stepped up to ace game point. The tie-breaker was hard fought and intense as the lead was exchanged. While Annie Hisler and Jill Barber were setting the ball precisely, Lexi Matteson and Casey Ingraham dominated the net with kills and blocks. Just witnessing the last rally of the evening was worth the price of admission as the ball was dug out, passed, set and smashed back and forth across the net several times before the mighty, mighty Mustangs took the game, 15-10, and the match to remain in sole possession of the number one slot in the CBC. "This was a great match for us," said coach Tern Gentry. "They (Wahtonka) played tough, and we were able to up our intensity to take the win." The Mustangs demonstrated a consistent 94 percent serving success for the match. Flawless from behind the line were Elguezabal serving 10/10 and Jaci Hughes, 4/4, while Barber served 18/19 and Van-Winkle went 14/15. The hitting was hot throughout die lineup. Matteson successfully hit 14 for 16 with seven kills, CBC Standings Season League was 7/7 with two dinks marked Heppner 19-3 7 -0 as kills, along with three blocks.

Beard’s piece "Purple Sage", a full length, wool gabardine smoking jacket, was a first-time selection of a garment by the historical center’s jurors.

Also selected for the Switchback Award this year, were a metal and hide chandelier by John and Kerry Cash of Cody Wyoming and a hall table by G. Race of Leadville, Co.

Through the juried exhibit, educational seminars and the opportunity to share ideas, the conference endeavors to preserve and enhance the school of Western Design. Local fiber artist Anne Beard "Thcrese: The Story of a Soul", a new live drama written and produced by award-winning actor and director Leonardo Defilippis, will be presented as dinner theater at St. Patrick's Parish Hall in Heppner on Sunday, October 26. Dinner will begin at 5 p.m., and the drama will follow. The life of Saint Therese of Lisieux would had remained buried in obscurity if she had not written down her own story before dying of tuberculosis at the age of 24 in a French monastery in 1897. Her autobiography quickly circulated around the wold, and her simple spirituality touched the hearts of millions, making this hidden Carmelite sister one of the most beloved saints of all time. This 90-minute drama, with an original orchestral score, is on its debut national tour, presented by Saint Luke Productions of Beaverton. It features Maggie Mahrt in the title role of an ordinary middle-class girl who enters a convent at the age of 15. "She discovers a way of life based on humility and simple trust in the mercy of God. Her honest, direct spirituality speaks powerfully to our busy modem age," said a news release. This is the first one-woman drama produced by Leonardo Defilippis, who has delivered more than 1,200 one-man performances to audiences of more than 325,000 people in the United States, Canada and Europe. Defilippis, trained as a Shakespearean actor, founded Saint Luke Productions in 1980. Since then, the company has produced seven live religious dramas and five videos that have been broadcast worldwide, and received awards in the New York, Chicago and Cascade Film Festivals. The drama is suitable for ages 10 and up. Admission and dinner is $7 for an individual or $20 for a family.

Bazaar held Award winning smoking jacket STO R-4-U N ow has units of all sizes available Copy Paper Hurry while selection is good Ream • Carton phone 541-567-7317 Gazette-Times 676-9228 By Nova Rietmann The third annual Fall into Winter bazaar was held last Saturday, October 11, from 11 a m. to 3 p.m. at the lone Legion Hall. The bazaar, which funds the Jason Halverson Memorial Scholarship, is organized by Cathy Halverson and Jannie Allen of lone. Seventy-five to 100 people in the community donate baked goods and crafts to sell and several people also donated their time to help out during the bazaar. Isa Brown of lone donated a quilt which was handmade at the Berthold Indian Reservation located in North Dakota. Laurel Cannon arranged an antique glass section. Shelly Rietmann arranged a soup lunch. Ron Neighom played the guitar and sang. The Fall into Winter bazaar is known by the volunteers as "the fastest bazaar in the west", referring to the first hour in which almost all of the crafts and baked goods had been bought. Cathy Halverson, organizer, is appreciative of all the support she has received from the community. "Everybody's really good about helping and without everybody's donations and support I don't think that this bazaar could work," said Halvorsen. "Jannie Allen does a lot of work and without her, we couldn't do this." The lone youth group helped in the kitchen, selling raffle tickets, taking money and helping with anything that needed to be done. Many of the people who attended the bazaar were amazed at the efficiency of the event. Jen McElligott, who volunteered her time at the bazaar, said, "I can't believe how hard Jannie, Cathy and Laurel work on this. It's nice to live where people are so willing to pitch in and donate things." The bazaar was, without a doubt, a success. At 12:30 p.m. the Legion Hall was almost bare. The volunteers breathed a sigh of relief as they looked over the few crafts that were left. The kitchen was out of soup and had only a few pies remaining to sell. But all were satisfied with the fact that the community helped them immensely, yet they were now able to give something back.
