Mustang girls fall short against Umatilla
Tylynn Smith goes up for shot against Umatilla at District tournaifittif
By Rick Paullus
The H eppner M ustang
varsity girls dug themselves into
too big a hole in the first half
against the Umatilla Vikings as
they lost $1-44 in the District 7
2A Basketball Tournament on
Friday, Feb. 22, at the Pendleton
Convention Center. With the loss,
Heppner was eliminated from the
tournament. The Mustangs trailed
by as many as 16 points in the first
half and 19 early in the third
before rallying to within six points
late in the fourth.
The Mustangs, coached by
Dana Reid, finished the season
with a 13-11 record after losing
senior Shelley Rietmann and first-
team CBC junior Lacey Matteson
to torn ACLs in their knees.
Seniors Meghan Bailey. Kelsey
Greenup, Jodie Carlson and Brett
Barber played their final game in
a Mustang uniform.
The Mustangs took an early
lead on a Bailey three-pointer, but
the Vikings came back to take a
10-3 lead before Tylynn Smith
scored off a pass from Shanna
Rietmann and Barber hit a short
jumper. The Vikings went on a 9-
0 run before Jesse Kempas hit a
short jumper to end the first with
the Mustangs trailing 19-9.
Smith hit a lay-in to open the
second, but the Vikings came back
with six straight points before
Brooke Rust made one of two
free throws and Barber hit a short
jumper to make it 25-14. The

Carol M ichael o f the
Boardman Pharmacy appeared at
the County Court Feb. 20 to
advise the commissioners that the
Oregon
L egislature
cut
reimbursements to pharmacies
for clients enrolled in the Oregon
Health Plan, leaving a proposed
reimbursement far below the
pharmacy’s actual costs. She
requested that the Court submit
w ritten com m ents on the
proposed co-pay rule, as it is a
countywide issue. Judge Terry
Tallman agreed to a letter and
noted having previously
conversed with the Heppner
pharmacy owner. Commissioner
Dan Brosnan said that
Representative Greg Smith has
proposed a method of fixing the
problem, but Michael added that
the governor could veto that.
Brosnan agreed to a letter and
said that he had previously called
almost everyone on his legislative
list to comment on the inequity of
the plan. Michael encouraged
letters as the most effective tool.
Boardman Fire Chief,
Marc Rogelstad, appeared for the
public hearing on the proposed
annexation of property into the
Boardman Rural Fire Protection
D istrict. He recom m ended
approval of annexation requested
by the owners of two parcels. The
hearing was closed, and the Court
approved the annexation.
Rogelstad also reported
that the county’s call-forward
number seems not to be working,
and the Court agreed that a single
circuit is insufficient. He
expressed his support o f the
additional radio repeater promoted
by Sheriff Vernon Denton.
Judge Tallman reported
that the Boardman bridge to the
marina is now closed to traffic.
An engineer is examining the
bridge to determine advisability of
any temporary repairs. ODOT
reports, Tallman said, that a new
bridge would require an
environmental (NEPA) study,
which would take eighteen
months. Tallman added that if the
Corps of Engineers transferred
the bridge to the Park District, a
study would not be required.
Commissioner Brosnan
reported that the planning director
has been advised that the county
cannot include a request for an
lone-Boardman Road easement
in the Boeing land-sale land
partition. M orrow County
Planning director Tamra Mabbott
was told, however, that the county
could include a requirement to
participate in the building of a
road from Tower Road to Cecil
as a condition of approval of the
sale.
Sheriff Verlin Denton
advised the C ourt o f his
department’s ideas for improving
its radio system, using funds
remaining in the department’s
vehicle-purchase budget and
funds from CSEPP. He reported
that “pockets" in which deputies
are not able to call out with their
portable radios pose a danger to
the deputies. Denton suggested a
radio repeater in Irrigon and one
in Boardman to im prove
com m unications. The Court
approved purchase o f the
repeaters.
The Court reviewed the
order directing the sale of real
property recently acquired
through a tax foreclosure. County
assessor, Greg Sweek, relayed a
request from the City of Heppner
for any revenue from the sale
above the county’s costs, in
exchange for continued cleaning
of the property until it sells. The
Court discussed the request and
agreed not to enter a formal
agreement with the city but to
offer an am ount above the
county's costs, should any result

after a lien and back taxes are
satisfied. The Court then
approved an order directing the
sale of the property.
Sweek then reported the
dissatisfaction o f Stanford
Chemical with the county for
disqualifying the property on
which they plan to build their plant
from farm exemption. Judge
Tallman reported having explained
the required process to that
company’s lawyer.
Assistant public works
director, Bob Naims, reported that
director Burke O ’Brien has been
searching for a replacement rock
crusher; the crew continues work
on the Valby Road project, and
the crew has worked at removal
of some designated trees near the
fairgrounds snack shack and a
tree by the courthouse. Judge
Tallman opened three bids by
engineering services interested in
the Juniper Canyon road project.
Naims and O ’Brien will review
the bids and bring
a
recommendation to the Court.
Commissioner Brosnan
requested that the public works
director follow up on the pursuit
through small claims court of
reparations for road damages. He
also
requested
current
information on the status of an
agreement from PGE for the gate
for employees’ use.
O ther actions o f the
Court include the following:
- approval of a permit to
the town of Lexington to install a
w ater line along Blackhorse
Canyon Road;
- approval of a permit to
