Ballots to be mailed
Mustangs explode
break century mark
By Rick Paullus
A parade to the free throw line
helped make the last home game
for the five seniors a memorable
one as the Heppner Mustang varsity
boys exploded over the visiting
Pilot Rock Rockets, winning 108-60
on Friday, Feb. 16.
Blake Knowles, Ryan Matteson,
Joe Papineau, David Piper and Craig
Scott helped the Mustangs to the
highest point total that anyone can
remember in their final game at
Heppner High School. The Mustangs
hit 33 of46 free throws for the game
to improve to 11 and 2 in the
Columbia Basin Conference and
16 and 5 overall.
Scott scored on a rebound basket
but the Rockets came back to take
their only lead of the game at 4-2
before the Mustangs started their
explosion. Papineau scored on a
short jumper, Matteson scored after
a Piper steal, Stefan Matheny hit
a runmngjumper, Papineau scored
and Matheny hit a three-pointer and
a long jumper to make it 15-4.
Michael McCabe hit two free
throws and scored after a steal to
make it 19-6, then fed Knowles for
a lay-in to make it 21 -8. The Rockets
got to within 23-16, but Piper scored
on two short jumpers, Matheny
scored and Scott hit two free throws
to make it 31-16 at the end of the
first quarter.
McCabe hit a free throw, Piper
hit a lay-in, then McCabe hit two
lay-ins and a free throw to increase
the lead to 39-16 to open the second
quarter. Sam Van Liew scored on
a lay-in and McCabe hit two more
free throws to make it 43-18. Scott
scored off a drive, McCabe hit two
free throws and V an Liew hit one
to make it 48-20.
Papineau scored off a rebound,
McCabe hit another free throw and
Knowles converted a three-point
play to make it 54-27. McCabe hit
two more free throws to make it
56-31 at halftime. McCabe hit nine
of 12 free throws in the second
quarter alone as the Mustangs hit
17 of 23 in the first half.
Knowles opened the third quarter
with a rebound basket and Papineau
scored to make it 60-31, but the
Rockets came back with seven
straight to make it 60-38. McCabe
scored off a steal and Brad Adams
scored off a rebound and converted
a three-point play off another
rebound to make it 67-38.
Brian Rust scored off a rebound,
McCabe scored off a pass from
Matheny to make it 71-39 and
Adams scored off another rebound
to make it 73-41. Van Liew scored
off a pass from Scott to close out
the third quarter with the Mustangs
comfortably out in front, 75-45.
Matteson converted a three-point
play and Van Liew hit two free
throws to open the fourth. Then
Knowles hit a lay-in on a pass from
Matteson, McCabe hit two free
throws, then Adams hit a long
jumper and a lay-in on a pass from
Matheny to make it 88-47.
McCabe scored, Matheny scored
on a pass from Rust and Papineau
scored on a pass from Chuy
Elguezabal to make it 94-49.
Papineau hit a short jumper then
a free throw and Van Liew hit a
short jumper to make it 99-54, with
everyone wondering who would
be the one to put the Mustangs over
the century mark. It would be Adams
who hit two free throws to make
it 101-56. McCabe came back with
a jumper to make it 103-60.
The last points came from the
line as McCabe, Piper and Adams
each hit one and Piper hit two more
for the final points to make it 108-
60.
McCabe hit 14 of 19 free throws
and seven o f 13 from the field to
finish with 28 points and five steals,
followed by Adams, who hit five
of six shots for 14 points, nine
rebounds (seven of them offensive)
and two steals. Papineau had 13
points and seven rebounds. Matheny
had 11 points, four assists and two
steals. Knowles had nine points,
10 rebounds, two assists and two
steals. Piper had nine points, nine
rebounds and two steals. Van Liew
had nine points. Scott had eight
points and two assists. Matteson
had four assists and three steals.

Committee
Sheep dogs and their handlers
from all over the Northwest are
eagerly anticipating the St. Patrick's
Day sheep dog trial. They've been
coming to Heppner in mid-March
for 18 years.
"They just keep coming back,"
says trial organizer Mary Hamilton
of Walla Walla, WA. "The weather
is always a surprise, the sheep are
wily, sleeping accommodations are
45 minutes away in Boardman or
Hermiston after a long day outside,
and eating and drinking spots often
are crowded with St. Patrick's Day
celebrants, but the hard-core
handlers keep coming back anyway.
They love this trial."
Forty handlers and more than
60 dogs, hailing from eastern
Montana to Alberta to California,
show up on Friday night, a few of
them dragging travel trailers for
on-the-spot comfort. And early
Saturday morning, usually around
6 a.m., the first handler and dog
stand at the post, waiting for their
packet of sheep to be set out at the
top o f the field.
Weeks earlier, Skye Krebs starts
looking over his yearling
Ramboullet range ewes to pick out
the wiliest to challenge the gathering
and driving skills of the Border
Collies and their handlers. And on
Friday afternoon before the trial,
Brian Thompson and his hardy crew
(namely, Damon) prepare the 30-
acre trial field three miles north of
town, putting up fence and setting
up a pen at the top o f the field to
hold the sheep. At some point that
day, Louis Carlson shows up with
bleachers from the fairgrounds for
spectators to enjoy the trial.
Depending upon whether snow
is blowing sideways or the sun is
shining brightly, the bleachers often
are crowded by early afternoon
Saturday. Cars are parked on both
sides o f Bunker Hill Road; if the
weather is nice, the cars are empty
and folks are outside watching. If
the weather is cold, they watch from
inside with their heaters running.
Handlers are competing mostly
for glory, the satisfaction of doing
well, and points toward qualifying
for the National Sheepdog Finals,
being held this year in ICamath Falls
Sept 23-30. However, the top several
placers at the Heppner trial receive
a small cash prize and coveted St.
Patrick's Day plaques. The over-all
winner receives a beautiful trophy,
sponsored by Thompson Ranches.
The prizes come from Peterson's
Jewelry.
"We're always pleased with how
the St. Patrick's Day Committee
and the Heppner community
supports the sheep dog trial," says
Hamilton. "We'd be really thrilled
if local folks with an extra room
would consider allowing a trial
participant to stay with them rather
than have to drive to a motel in
Boardman or Hermiston. The dogs
stay in the handlers' rigs at night,
so only human visitors would be
staying in Heppner homes."
If anyone has an extra room that
a handler could stay in for the
weekend, please contact Mary
Hamilton at (509) 522-2360 or e-
mail her at hamilton@wwics.com.

By Jeff Hunt, reporter
The Incredible Edibles met for
the first time in 2001 at the lone
fire hall on M onday, Feb. 19.
The theme o f the meeting was
herbs and spices. People who
showed up early started on a word
search that used the nam es o f
popular spices and herbs.
When the last member showed
up, the m eeting started with the
following in attendance: Barbara
Holland, Stephanie Holland, Crystal
Temple, Clay Morter, Kayla LaRue,
Jeff Hunt, Johnny Albert Collin Jr.,
and Emily Rietmann. The meeting
was co-run by Shelby Krebs and
Anne Morter.
Each person in the club did
research on an herb or spice
beforehand and gave a speech. Some
reports were on salt, like Johnny
Albert Collin Jr.'s; or on cumin, like
Crystal Temple's.
Next the 4-H'ers planted herb
gardens, then started cooking. The
more experienced group o f kids
made twice-baked potatoes that were
pre-baked. Members could tell these
kids knew their potatoes, as they
spooned out potatoes rapidly and
mixed them with cheese, pepper,
onions and various herbs. The other
group made oyster crackers.
When the food was done cooking,
it was feasted upon and there were
no leftovers to be seen. The meeting
ended with everyone cleaning dishes
and silverware.
Shelby and Anne did a good job
of guiding the meeting and everyone
left full and happy.
