baseball schedule
H ep p n er
High
School has announced its
2005 baseball schedule as of
Feb 28, 2005:
(L-R): lone Legion Com m ander Bob Baker received a donation of $1500 from Bank of
Eastern O regon- lone branch m anager Sharon Rietm ann, along with Chairwom an o f the
restoration project Jean Jepsen and Legion Auxiliary President Irene Holtz.
The lone American
Legion Hall is nearing the
end o f its restoration phase
as members o f the Legion
and Auxiliary have worked
for the past five years
restoring flooring, windows,
heating systems and other
p ro jects
Through
com m unity su p p o rt and
g ran t writing a sundry
amount o f projects have
been able to be completed
The list o f projects
began in 2000 when it was
determined that many cracks
in the hall’s wood flooring
needed to be repaired in
order to maintain the floor
As the group was working
on the floors, it was
determined that the old oil
furnaces and flues were
unsafe
To help with the
needed funding to complete
the projects a capital fluids
campaign was begun and
Vincent McElligott offered
his services to help Jean
Jepsen, project chairwoman,
write grants
A grant from the
Meyer Memorial Trust along
with the gained funds helped
pay for the replacement of
the heating system along
with new windows, doors
and some insulation
The following year,
the b a th ro o m s and new
fixtures were updated and
vinyl and carpeting was laid
The bar area was also
updated to becom e a
permanent fixture
Food Handlers class no
longer available in
Heppner
The Food Handler's
classes are no longer being
offered by the State Health
Departm ent in the area
However, food handler’s
cards are still required for
people who handle food
This includes vendors and
groups preparing food or
meals for the upcoming St
Patrick's Day Celebration in
Heppner
A couple of options
are available for th o se
interested in obtaining a food
handler’s card The course
may be taken online or by
mail through the Oregon
R estaurant A ssociation
Their

Food handler’s cards
are good for three years and
cost $10
In 2003, a grant from
W ildhorse
F oundation
helped repair the sub-floor
and put new vinyl in the
kitchen and meeting area
The next and newest
phase o f the restoration
project is to bring the
building up to electrical code
and install new lighting
throughout the hall With
these improvements the hall
should be completed
Funds for the final
projects are being brought in
th ro u g h
com m unity
d o n atio n s along with a
second grant from the
Wildhorse Foundation Also,
as a way to help gain more
funding, the Legion and
Auxiliary is holding a Poker
and Bingo fundraiser on
March 6. #
The fundraiser will
include Texas Hold ‘Em,
Bingo, food and a silent
a u ctio n
Everyone is
welcome to attend the event,
which will begin at 4 p m at
the Hall Those wishing to
join the poker tournament
should sign-up between 3
and 3:45 p m
The Legion and
Auxiliary appreciates all the
community support and the
many grants that have been
received
“The hall should be
in good shape now for many
more years,’’ said Jepsen
c
The top kicker was
Jodessa Chapa with 480
kicks. “I really want to go on
this trip,” said Jodessa The
other team members in their
order of kicks were, Kolleen
C hapa-
320;
Carrie
H aguew ood- 202; Katie
Tayloe- 107; Amber Gray
89; and Ashley Wolff- 74
Not all team members were
able to com pete due to
injuries “ Even sickness
h a sn ’t stopped the girls,
maybe limited the number of
kicks, but not their spirit for
helping their team,” added
Coach Chapa
Even though she was
unable to compete due to an
injury, Kellee Jones,
Shamrockette of the Month
for January, helped hold
arms during the kick-a-thon
“Kellee has showed up to
practices to run music and
stretch, participated in
