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.

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.

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.
