Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 6, 2000 - FIVE
Mustangs lose to Ontario
By Rick Paullus
Matteson led the Mustangs on
the ground with 29 yards on three
carries. Craig Scott picked up 25
yards rushing and had three re­
ceptions for another 20 yards.
The Mustangs will take a week
off before traveling to Baker City
on Sept. 15 to take on the class
3A Bulldogs in a 7 p.m. game.
The Ontario Tigers showed
why they are considered one of
the top teams in the state in class
3A by dominating the visiting
Heppner Mustangs, 41-7, on Fri­
day, Sept. 1.
The Mustangs received the
opening kick-off as a thunder­
storm moved through, bringing
soaking rain. A miscue on a pitch
on the Mustangs’ third play gave
the Tigers good field position at
the 10-yard line.
Three plays later, the Tigers
scored to take an early 7-0 lead
that held up until the end of the
first quarter.
The Tigers scored three more
touchdowns in the second quar­
ter to take a 27-0 lead at halftime
as the Mustangs’ offense couldn’t
get anything going.
The Tigers scored twice more
in the third quarter and led 41-0
before Ryan Matteson broke free
for a 21 -yard touchdown run late
in the fourth quarter. Blake
Knowles kicked the extra point to
make the final score 41-7.

Ferrioli, Smith endorsements
The political arm of the state's
largest small-business advocacy
organization recently endorsed
two candidates for election to the
state legislature.
NFIB/Oregon S.A.F.E. Trust,
the political action arm of the
13,000-member
National
Federation
of Independent
Business/Oregon, endorsed State
Senator Ted Ferrioli (Dist. 28)
for re-election. It also threw its
support behind Greg Smith for
the state house seat (Dist. 59)
vacated by Rep. Lynn Lundquist.
NFIB/Oregon S.A.F.E. Trust
endorsements are based on a
combination of voting records on
issues vital to small business and
a detailed questionnaire.
Femoli's district includes all of
Baker, Crook, Gilliam, Grant,
Hood River, Sherman and
Wheeler counties, as well as
portions of Clackamas, Morrow,
Multnomah and Wasco counties.
The state house district Smith
is running for comprises the
eastern and central parts of
Ferrioli's district. Earlier, NFIB
endorsed Patti Smith, whose 56th
house district makes up the other
half of the senate district.
"Ted Ferrioli is one of the best
friends Oregon's family farmers
and small-business owners can
have in the legislature," said J.L.
Wilson, NFIB/Oregon state
director. "Greg Smith will prove
equally as supportive of small
business. Without hesitation or
qualification, we heartily endorse
their campaigns."
Wilson noted that 77 percent of
Oregon's businesses have fewer
than 10 employees and 60
percent have fewer than five
employees. "Small business is
big business in Oregon," said
Wilson. "In fact, it is the engine
of the Oregon economy. Yet, it
hasn't always been respected for
its significant contributions or
treated well by politicians. That
is about to change, fast."
