FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 18, 2002 Ponies score late to tie Tigers By Rick Paullus The H eppner Ponies junior high football team scored a touchdow n and a tw o-point conversion midway through the fourth quarter to earn an 8-8 tie with the Stanfield Tigers on Friday, Sept. 13, in Stanfield. Stanfield took an 8-0 lead on a 40-yard pass on the first play o f the second quarter and ran in the two-point conversion. It stayed that way until M att M cCabe stripped a Tiger running back of the ball and took it 25 yards for the touchdown. Quinn Peck ran in the two-point conversion to tie the game. The Tigers drove inside the Ponies’ twenty with about a m inute left. Kody Lovgren intercepted a pass and returned it to the 40 yard line. The Ponies next game will be at home against Umatilla, on Friday, Sept. 20, at 3 p.m. Heppner 0 0 0 8-8 Stanfield 0 8 0 0-8 Second quarter: Stanfield- 40-yard pass (run good) Fourth quarter: Heppner- Matt McCabe 25 yard fumble return (Quinn Peck run) Top-ranked Warriors down lone Cardinals win against Spray and Heppner Mustangs a difficult time with their serves lone varsity volleyball the match. Caitlin Orem led the By Kick Paullus The top-ranked and four time defending state champion Amity Warriors showed they are still the team everybody else has to go through on the road to the 2A state championship as they defeated the visiting Heppner Mustangs, 44-0, on Friday, Sept. 13, in front of a live TV audience. The game was shown on the ASCN channel. The Mustangs (2-1) will start the C olum bia Basin Conference part of their schedule on Friday, Sept. 20, against the U m atilla V ikings in the homecoming game. The Warriors led 35-0 at half time and scored on the first play of the third quarter to put the game away. Chuy Elguezabal led the Mustangs in rushing with 22 yards on six carries and hit two of five passes for 22 yards. Brad Adams had 18 yards rushing and played a good game at linebacker along with Donald Adams.

On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower set sail with a mission of finding a new land even though some people still believed the world to be flat. However Columbus didn’t drop off the edge, he just dropped in for lunch uninvited by Native Americans. On Sept. 5,1774, this fledging nation held the first Continental Congress in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Treaty of Paris was signed between England and the U.S. on Sept. 3, 1783, ending the bloody Revolutionary War. Without poll taking, special interest influences, media critics or being stalled forever by an appeals process, the signing of the U.S. Constitution took place on Sept. 17, 1787. All this was done without a zillion lawyers and billions of dollars. What happened to that wisdom that rallied together for the common good? How unlike our present legislatures who know how to spend, but don’t seem to know how to economize. In 1806 when the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery ended on Sept. 23, besides their worn-out moccasins, they carried an important journal. Unlike today’s CEOs, they didn’t get rich in the stock market while investors lost their shirts. Nor did they acquire yachts, million dollar homes or retirement benefits from the government who backed them. Enough of History 101 (if history is still taught in schools)- on to important current events. Oregon has been selected to supply this year’s White House Christmas tree. Since 1965, different national forests have been selected for this honor. Thankfully there are a few evergreens left in Oregon that haven’t gone up in smoke. A 70-foot Douglas fir from the Diamond Lake Ranger District in the Umpqua National Forest is the target along with dozens of small trees to decorate the hallways and rooms of our nation's capitol. Besides these trees, crafty Oregonians are making 6,000 handmade ornaments such as birdhouses. Beats me why every room there needs a tree and the hallways are lined with Christmas trees when there are some homes in this nation where a Christmas tree isn’t affordable. While the American way is to put on an impressive front, some radical “do gooders” don’t want any trees cut. Maybe that philosophy began when George Washington got in trouble for cutting down a single tree. September is also the time for hunting seasons that ties in with an amusing addition to the “Maggie’s Drawers’’ commentary. The aforementioned site was original a sheep camp. I'm told. A sheepherder hung a pair of long johns in a prominent tree where the sheep bedded in hopes of scaring off the coyotes that were killing the sheep. Cornett Green, whose hunting party favored that area, dubbed them “Maggie’s Drawers.” Recalling Cornett’s sense of humor, he perhaps embellished them with pink ribbons and accessories, as he was known for his practical jokes. I'm glad to hear that the reservoir remains viable, even if the “drawers” are now history. September is also noted for a seasonal change. Sept. 23, the autumnal equinox, marks the beginning of the fall season. Our country remains a mixed bag of blessings and rainfall is needed for the thirsty landscape. Meanwhile, if the spirit moves you, one could get busy making Christmas tree ornaments for the White House. Perhaps arrangements from dried plants; a decorated, fire-scorched evergreen bough or an embellished dried cow pie might be symbolic Oregon contributions. \ Open House Potluck I * . • "■ • • --»I • . ■ • .

That is why the American Cancer Society has developed M an-to-M an, a program that helps everyone involved with the diagnosis of prostate cancer get through the emotional trauma and subsequent treatments. The M an-to-M an Pendleton P rostate C ancer Support Group, sponsored by the American Cancer Society and St. Anthony Hospital in Pendleton, will hold their next regular meeting on Monday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m., in meeting room one of St. Anthony Hospital. The meeting is free to all participants. According to June Miller, an Am erican C ancer Society volunteer, each meeting features a different specialist in various fields related to prostate cancer who share information on medical topics and quality-of-life issues. This month, Debi Shampine, ACE, AIFE, personal trainer, will speak on “Cancer and Exercise: Spirit P rogram ,” w hich is a free exercise program for cancer patients. “ The M an-to-M an m eeting is a relaxed and confidential gathering that allows prostate cancer patients and their families and friends to discuss th eir q u estions, fears and concerns openly and honestly,” Miller says. For more information on the M an-to-M an Pendleton Prostate Cancer Support Group, or to register for the meeting, call June Miller at (541) 443-6171.
