While it may not be
Christmas, Hee Young, one
of Heppner High School’s
foreign exchange students,
is wishing for his two front
teeth. 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.
