V J C U .C U O - i n i i c D , n c p p n c i , w i e y u i i Hisler, Hughes honored by team Annie Hisler Two Heppner High School graduates, Annie Hisler and Jaci Hughes, were honored by their teammates at a recent Mt. Hood Community College Women's basketball team banquet. Sophomore Point Guard Annie Hisler was selected by her teammates as the Most Valuable Player for the 1999-2000 basketball season. Hisler, one of the Saints' co captains, was selected the MVP at the Everett Holiday Tournament the Saints won in early December. She finished the .season averaging 9.57 points per game to go along with the 5.3 assists that she averaged. . Hisler also set a single game record for steals with 12 in one game this season for the Gresham school. "Annie is the ultimate team player and is very deserving of the award granted her by her teammates," said Coach Daryle Broadsword. " I wish I had her back for two more seasons, but this is not a four-year institution, so 1 need to find other players that come to play as hard and consistently as she did. I know I feel very grateful for the Jaci Hughes contributions she made to our program and to the volleyball program as well." Hisler is the daughter of Paul and Susan Hisler of Heppner. Freshman Jaci Hughes was selected by her teammates as Most Outstanding Newcomer for the 1999-2000 season, an award that Hisler was selected for last season. Hughes, a 1999 graduate at Heppner was the first player off the bench this season for the Saints, playing the point guard and off guard positions. "When Jaci came into the game she was very well prepared to make the adjustments that we needed as a team," said Broadsword. "She started the year a bit tentative and not looking to score, but as the season went along, she became tnuch more confident and aggressive as an offensive threat. I am very excited to have her back for next season and feel that she will provide us with quality leadership running our team." Hughes is the daughter of Joyce Hughes, Heppner, and Randy Hughes, Lexington.

We Print BUSINESS CARDS H e p p n e r ( , n * e t t e T im e s Grant to fund deputy district DA Mustangs split with Tigers Tammy Schilling A new deputy district attorney is on the job in Morrow County, thanks to a federal grant which will fund her position. Morrow County District Attorney David C. Allen applied for and received funds from the federal Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Grant, authorized through the Violence Against Women Grant Office, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice. ' In addition to funding the deputy DA position, the grant, which was awarded in October, includes funds to provide a full time detective sheriff for work in child abuse and domestic violence cases. Grant monies were also earmarked to provide interpreting services for victims and law enforcement and to purchase a video conferencing system. Allen says the county is close to developing the video arraignment system which will dramatically cut down on travel time to transport prisoners to and from court and jail. A video unit will be placed in Heppner and another in Imgon so that they can be linked together. Imgon will also be linked to Pendleton and then consequently connected to prison and state systems. The system will operate through dedicated T-l lines through CenturyTel and U.S. West. Allens says he hopes the system will be up and running by June. "We're excited,” said Allen. "It will make better use of court time to take care of a lot of simple housekeeping matters.lt will also aid security as we start dealing with more and more senous offenses." The new deputy district attorney, Tammy Schilling, 28, is originally from Sherman County. She attended Oregon State University, receiving a bachelor of science degree in political science and philosophy in 1993. Following graduation from OSU, Schilling worked in the legislature for one session as an aide for Representative John Meeks. Schilling received her junsdoctorate degree from Seton Hall, New Jersey in 1999. She recently passed the Oregon Bar exam. Schilling is a sports fan and loves the Yankees. She also enjoys reading. The deputy DA position is Schilling's first post-college position. She will handle prosecution of domestic violence and child abuse cases that come through the DA's office, working closely with law enforcement, treatment providers and Services to Children and Families. Allen emphasizes that the grant is funded entirely with federal funds and no county monies will be used to fund the deputy DA position. By Rick Paullus The Heppner Mustangs rebounded from a disappointing 10-3 first game loss to take the second game 5-1 against the visiting Stanfield Tigers on Saturday, April 22. It was their first Columbia Basin Conference game of the season and ran their overall record to 7-7. Game one got off to a bad start as the Tigers loaded the bases on three walks then got a grand slam from Junior Ena. The Tigers added three more runs to take a 7-0 lead before the Mustangs were able to bat. Michael McCabe hit a two-out single and Stanley Cutsforth followed with his fourth home run of the year just over the right field fence. The Tigers added single runs in the third, fourth and fifth innings to take a 10-2 lead. Dylan Pettyjohn walked with one out in the seventh and moved around on passed balls, finally scoring on a passed ball but the Mustangs could not mount any kind of a rally. McCabe came in to pitch in relief in the second with bases loaded and two outs. He got the out to get out of the inning and pitched well the rest of the way, allowing just two runs on two hits while striking out seven. Pettyjohn was the story in game two, pitching a one- hitter with 13 strikeouts and allowing one unearned run in going the distance. Matheny led off with a walk in the bottom of the first in the second game, went to second on a passed ball and was bunted over to third. McCabe then hit a fly ball to left field to easily score Matheny. In the second, Travis Bellamy was hit by a pitch and Mark McElligott walked with two outs. Matheny then lined a triple down the right field line to score two and make it 3-0. McCabe led off with a single in the third, stole second and went to third on a passed ball. Kelly Paullus then hit a fly ball to right field to score McCabe and make it 4-0. McElligott hit a pop fly into short right field that was dropped when the right fielder and second baseman collided and he hustled all the way around to third. Matheny then lifted a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score McElligott. The Tigers scored a run in the fifth as the Mustangs committed two errors, but Pettyjohn shut them down the rest of the way to get the win. Matheny went one for two with three rbi's and McElligott scored twice.
