emergency
information
to
residents living closest to the
Umatilla Chemical Depot.
The alert notification system is
being evaluated to determine the
effectiveness of sirens located in
communities near the depot, and
whether some sirens need to be
relocated or added.
Representatives from Morrow
and Umatilla County are
requesting the purchase of a
monitoring system that would
detect the presence of chemical
warfare agents. Emergency
response personnel would like an
opportunity to test a specific
monitoring kit for effectiveness
and reliability. A proposal would
then be sent by the counties to
the regional CSEPP office
detailing the use, purpose, and
capabilities of the requested
monitoring equipment. If the
proposal is approved, six or eight
of these kits would be purchased
at $15,000 each.

ultimate measures of whether
this meeting was successful or
not," said Tallman.

The Heppner Mustang varsity
boys lost their final basketball
game of the year to the visiting
Stanfield Tigers, 79-58, on Sat­
urday, Feb. 21.
The Tigers took control from
the start, jumping out to an 8-1
lead. Casey Evans hit a three-
point field goal to cut the lead to
12-11 before the Tigers scored six
straight to lead 18-11 after one
quarter.
The Tigers increased their lead
to 40-27 at the end of two as Rain
Alarcon hit a long three-pointer
at the buzzer. Alarcon finished
with 16 first half points.
The Tigers continued to con­
trol the game in the third and led
58-43 at the end of the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, consecu­
tive baskets by Chris Anthony
and Tim Dickenson pulled the
Mustangs to 65-51 before the Ti­
gers’ Gabe Wells scored seven
straight points to make it 72-51.
The rest of the game was a rough
and tumble affair as both teams’
benches played most of the way.
The Tigers’ Aaron McFarland hit
a three-pointer at the buzzer to
make the final score 79-58 in fa­
vor of Stanfield.
The loss dropped the Mustangs
to 3-9 in the Columbia Basin Con­
ference and 6-16 for the year.
Dickenson led the Mustangs
with 17 points, including seven of
eight free throws. The lone senior
on the team, Anthony, was next
with 12 points. Evans chipped in
with 11 points, including a three-
pointer.
The T igers were led by
Alarcon’s 23 points, including
four three-pointers. Corey
Sherman finished with 20 points.
