EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 22,1997 lone Cards JV girls lose in homecoming games lone Jvs in action against Condon By K a ra Miller The lone JV volleyball team came out to do some destruction, but found the Condon Blue Dev ils’ JV team was equal to the task. The first game consisted of many rallies, ending in lone’s favor, 16- 14, but lone lost the next two games, 3-15 and 5-15, and the match. Jennifer Thompson and Erin Crowell both had serves on the C ardinal side o f the board. Allison Halvorsen was a double threat, both on the net and the back row. Halvorsen put in three spikes and received 14 serves, for the offensive line. Jessica Krebs added a couple of saves to help Chanssa Gates set up some assists for the front line. Another shin ing star that night was Crowell who put up six points with her awesome serves. Even though the girls didn’t come out with the win, they were positive and very hard working. The JV team will travel to Cul ver on Saturday, Oct. 25, to play right after the varsity game that starts at noon. Mustang varsity, JVs defeat Sherman County The Heppner High School varsity volleyball team's first game against Sherman County Thursday, Oct. 16, was a tough one for the Mustang girls. They lost to the Huskies, 15-6, in the first game, but the Mustangs turned the tables in the second and third games and defeated the Huskies, 15-4, 15-4, to take the match. The large and enthusiastic Mustang crowd added to the excitement of the game, their last home match of the season. Jill Barber served 16 out of 19 for the game. Jaci Hughes was perfect in serving for 7/7 and Jessica Van Winkle served nine out of 10. Annie Hisler made eight out of 10 serves; Elguezabal made six out of eight serves; Amber Peck, four out of five; and Lexi Matteson 1/2. "The girls had problems in the first game," said varsity coach Tern Gentry. "But they turned it around and showed that they have a lot of guts. The came back Next CRP signup scheduled Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up 16 will be held during a five-week period from October 14 through November 14. "This will be another opportunity for landowners to sigh’ iff/ fbr a voluntary program to get financial and technical assistance for improving their land, water and wildlife resources," Skip Matthews said. "If you haven't tried to get into the program, if your CRP contract offers were not accepted with the 68,539.6 Morrow County contract acres (a 71 percent acceptance rate) in sign up last spring, or if you have contracts expiring this fall, this is the time to make new contract offers." The CRP is designed to improve America's natural resource base. Landowners enter into contracts with the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to enroll erodible and other environmentally sensitive land in contracts for 10 to 15 years. In exchange, they receive annual rental payments and a payment for up to 50 percent of the cost of establishing approved practices. The CCC will continue to evaluate and rank all eligible CRP offers using an Environmental Benefits Index (EBI), which is based on the potential environmental benefits from enrolling the land in the CRP. The EBI is composed of six environmental factors (wildlife habitat cover benefits, water quality benefits, on-farm benefits of reduced erosion, benefits enduring beyond the contract period, air quality benefits, and conservation priority areas) plus a cost factor. Included in the cost factor is a provision to bid less than the maximum rental rate and receive additional points up to a maximum of 15. The EBI's wildlife habitat cover benefits factor is revised since the last sign-up to recognize the improved wildlife benefits attributable to certain covers. The air quality factor is also modified, and an additional subfactor is added to the cost factor to further encourage the CRP's cost competitiveness. Maximum CRP payments will be determined based on county average dryland cash or cash rent equivalent rental rates adjusted for site-specific, soil-based productivity factors. CRP payments can include an additional amount, not to exceed $5 per acre per year, as an incentive to perform certain maintenance obligations. Cost- share assistance will be provided to establish approved cover on land enrolled in the CRP. Interested producers and landowners should contact the Morrow County Farm Service Agency office at 430 Heppner/Lexington Hwy, 676- 9011, for additional information and/or appointments. All programs and services of the USDA are offered on a nondiscriminatory basis, without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, mantal status, or handicap.
