TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 20,1998 Willow Creek Mills from page one Road community and a lot have been construction with the co-op for 15-20 years. My job is just to get everybody headed in the nght direction." He also is very appreciative of the job the MCGG board has done. "We've always had a very supportive board of directors." Mills' last day will be May 30, but says he will stick around to help out with the transition to a new manager. "I'll probably have some mixed emotions," he said, "but I'm really looking forward to it. It's time to move on and do something else. MCGG is still growing and it's time for a good aggressive young guy to take over. The new guy will do just great and he's got good people skills." Mills said that he and Betty plan to stay in the community. "It's treated us well and there are nice folks in the community." Of plans for their retirement, he says that he and his wife "have grandkids we want to spoil, travel we want to do and a few projects we want to get done." The Mills have a daughter, Dianne, who lives in Hermiston with her husband, Bob, and children, Richard, 23, James, 18, and Kellie, 15; and a son, Mike, who lives in Heppner with his wife, Natalie, and children, Chloe, three, arid Chandler, two weeks. An open house in honor of the Mills has been scheduled for Friday, May 29, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at MCGG. Everyone is invited to stop by and wish them well. Former Heppner High School Mustang Sam Sumner is going to the NAIA College World Series with Albertson's College. The World Series started Monday, May 18, and goes to Saturday, May 23, at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Albertson's finished the season with a 51-7 record, including a 29 and 1 record in finishing first in the Cascade Conference. The 51-7 record is the second best record in all college baseball. Albertson's finished the season ranked fifth in the final poll. Sumner expected Albertson's to be the number one or two seed at the World Series as three of four teams ranked ahead of them were beaten at the eight regionals held around the country. Albertson's began the Far West regional by beating Willamette 7-4 and Biola College out of California, 6-4. They then beat Lewis and Clark State, 17-7, and again 51-1 in the championship game as Albertson's pitcher threw a one hitter. The victories over Lewis and Clark State were especially sweet for Sumner as he transferred from there to Albertson's for his senior year. Sumner, starting in right field for the entire year, hit .370 with nine home runs, 40 RBIs and 11 doubles. Clue #1: Once conned a substitute teacher with a little red wagon experiment.

The top readers in each grade were; first grade- Maggie Armato (seven certificates); second grade-Kate Kendrick (12); third grade-Caleb Maben (six); and fourth grade- Riley Wight (five).
