SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 14,2014 Mustang golfers battle rough Heppner students place in weather, competing teams to district math contest On April 9, the Heppner Elementary and Heppner win top spots at tournament Junior High students Battling through bad weather conditions all day long, the Heppner High School girls’ and boys’ golf teams won titles at the Enterprise tournament. With consistent winds blowing 20 mph and gusts up to 43 mph it was hard to get the ball to do what you wanted it to do or go were you wanted it to go. There were also rain squalls that moved through the area, bringing a drizzle at times. The temperature was in the mid-40s and, with the wind chill, it felt much colder than that. Snow could be seen falling in the mountains nearby. It is an understatement to say that the teams had to play in very tough conditions. The Heppner girls’ team won the tournament with a score of 420. Enterprise finished in second place with a 452. Blake Greenup fought through the tough weather conditions and won individual medalist honors by shooting an 88. Amanda Rea finished in Mustang golf medal winners (L-R) Blake Greenup, Logan Grieb and Amanda Rea. -Contributedphoto second place on the day with a score of 103. Paige Grieb, Macy Gibbs and Maddie Lindsay played well for the Mustangs and factored into the team win. Logan Grieb battled the weather and 31 other players to win the boys’ division. Grieb recorded two birdies on the day and won with a score of 81. John Propheter, Jesse Corbin, Shane Miles and Caden Hedman all made the trip and played some good golf for Heppner in the less-than-ideal weather conditions. The Mustang team score of 384 beat teams from Enterprise (386), Cove (404), Wallowa (417), Stanfield/Echo(499) and Grant Union (504).

I t Friday, May 2, 11 students met at Heppner High school at nine in the morning to head to Portland for two days of fun. The students began their trip with an art and culture event at the Portland Expo Center. That Friday afternoon, the students attended a performance by the famous Canadian Cirque du Soleil. This circus is the largest theatrical producer in the world, known as “A dramatic mix of circus arts and street entertainment.” After the performance, the students went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner, the circus performance still buzzing in their minds. Comments such as, “It was awesome,” and, “It gave a creative outlook on the evolution of man,” were said across plates of pasta. Everyone said that they had fun. The next day, Saturday May 3, 11 future Heppner writers attended the thirtieth annual Oregon Writing Festival that was held at Portland State University. Over 300 students from Oregon schools attended the daylong w ritin g celebration. Students attended workshops and sharing groups where three renowned writers were and helpful ideas on writing styles. According to Mallorie Jones, a Heppner senior, “The writing festival is constructive and helps young writers be more confident in themselves. You learn how to share your ideas and see a different perspective of writing by listening to those around you share their own ideas.” Junior high student Sophie Grant commented. “Most of what we did in the workshops I already knew, but it still helped me sharpen the skills I already have.” All 11 students were grateful to the Booster Club and the Arts and Culture Club for their generous donations. Natalie Grigg, Isaac G rigg, L illian Sandford, Mallorie Jones, Makenzi Hughes, Joe Schmidt, Kai Arbogast, K ellie E ad ler, C ara Arbogast, Katlyn Harper and Sophie Grant would not have been able to participate in either event without their support.
