A couple of week’s ago, Hee Young was prac ticing baseball with his JV baseball team when he was accidentally hit in the mouth with a baseball and his two front teeth were completely knocked out. Hee Young was very brave and immediately sat down and picked up his teeth. John Marick, Hee Young’s host father, took him to the emergency room and then to Hayden Family Dentistry in Heppner. Dr. Hayden was able to insert his teeth and do some bond ing on the third tooth that was chipped. Hee Young now needs some additional dental work including root canals and crowns that the insurance is not going to cover. The JV baseball team and their parents, along with Kathy Marick and Linda Corbin will have a bake sale on Thursday, April 24 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Post Office. The sale will then move to the baseball field for the JV game against Grant Union. A bake sale table will also be set up on Saturday, April 26, at the baseball field during varsity baseball games against Pilot Rock. All proceeds from the bakes sale will go to ward Hee Young’s dental expenses.
