The Vikings enjoyed their only lead early in the game as Cherra Charlo sunk four o f her eventual game high 20 points to put the Vikings up 4-0. The Mustangs answered with consecutive three point goals by Jill Barber and Annie Hisler to put Heppner ahead, and the lead was never relinquished. Heppner held a six point, 14-8, lead after the first eight minutes o f play and was ahead by ten, 30- 20, at the half. The Mustangs increased the margin throughout the second half as they played with consistency and flair, leading 50-34 after three quarters and by a full 20 points at the final buzzer. Annie Hisler led the Mustang scorers with 19; she also scooped six rebounds, two steals and had one assist. Petra Elguezabal scored 14 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, had four steals and one blocked shot. Jill Barber and Casey Ingraham both finished with seven points and two assists. On Friday the Mustangs travel to Pilot Rock to take on the Rockets for a chance to tie up the first place standing in the Columbia Basin Conference. With these two powerhouses going head-to-head, this game will most likely be “The Game o f the Week” for the CBC. Saturday the Mustangs and their fans will be found in The Dalles playing the Wahtonka Eagles. All four Mustang teams are scheduled to play with the JV girls starting o ff the action at 1 p.m. OFFICE SUPLIES FAX Paper Computer Paper Gazette-Times 676-9228 to get underway The Heppner Middle School girls' basketball team play will get underway this Saturday, January 24, with a home game against Pilot Rock, beginning at 10 a m.

B e w a r e o f in v e s t m e n t s c h e m e s • « It sounds too good to be true. A chance for a small investor like you, the little guy, to make a fantastic return on international bank notes. All you have to do is put your money in an investment pool to buy these bank notes from a large offshore bank. The investment ranges from a few thousand dollars to $100,000. The promised return on the investment is often $ 1 00 million or more. "The trouble is that the details about how the program works are not available. Or they just don't make sense," says Carol Michael, Oregon State University home economist in Morrow and Umatilla counties. But that doesn't always stop an eager investor from plunging in. Unfortunately, the promoter takes your money and disaDnears. Instead o f wealth beyond your wildest dreams, you're stuck with a big hole in your bank account. The bank note scam is just one o f many investment frauds used by con artists to fleece the unwary. Others involve investing in oil wells, gold and silver mines, coins and precious metals, and even ostriches and emus. To protect yourself from becoming a victim o f these and other investment scams, educate yourself before making any investment, advises Michael. A good way is to obtain a copy o f the "State o f Oregon Investor Information Program," prepared by the Oregon Department o f Consumer and Business Serv ices. This publication is available from the Morrow County OSU Extension Service, 676-9642, or 1-800-342-3664. S to p u n s o lic it e d c r e d it c a r d s If you're tired o f being "pre approved" for new credit cards, an amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act that became effective September 30, 1997, offers a solution, according to Carol Michael, Oregon State home economist in Morrow and Umatilla counties. Under the terms o f the amendment, you can ask the major credit bureaus to remove your name and address from their lists for unsolicited credit and insurance offers for two years. If you want to o ff these lists permanently call the credit bureau and ask for an "opt-out" form. A phone call to any one o f the three nationwide credit bureaus will get you o ff the lists: Equifax Options, 800-556-471 l;Trans Union, 800-680-7293; Experian Credit marketing "OPT-OUT", 800-353-0809. Heppner JV girls lose lackluster game By Molly Rhea The Heppner JV Mustang girls resembled a tabletop on Saturday, January 17, as they lost in a lackluster game to the varsity enhanced Umatilla Vikings, 33-37. Heppner started out slowly, trailing 6-to-8 after the first eight minutes and 11-to-12 at the half. The second half saw improved scoring with the count knotted at 23 after three quarters, but the young Mustangs never sparked as the game slipped away. We make Posters Gazette-Times Kathleen Greenup put out an outstanding effort, leading all scorers with 15 points, grabbing five rebounds and four steals while dishing out two assists. Allison Sykes matched her seven points with seven rebounds and Kim Pointer also pulled down seven boards. Laycee Healy led the Vikings with eight points, followed by Andy Ybarra with seven.
