Murray, Grieb compete in Shrine game
Heppner Mustang foot-
ball players Kevin Murray
and Logan Grieb capped
off their careers by helping
the East team win the 65 th
Portland Shriners Hospital
game with a score of 29-23.
More than 50 fans, fam-
ily members, teammates
and coaches made the trip
to Baker City, OR to sup-
port and watch Murray and
Grieb play in the All-Star
game.
After a long hot week
of practice, the players
were ready for the game,
and it did not disappoint in
quality of play or for lack
for excitement. It was a
back-and-forth contest that
looked at times like either
team could get the win.
The West team scored
late in the fourth quarter to
take the lead in the game
23-21.
The East team then
battled back to score the
winning touchdown with
just over two minutes left
in the game. They then went
for and scored a two-point
conversion to make the
score 29-23.
The quick score offense
of the West team tried to
move the ball down the
field, but the East defense
held them and got the ball
back.
The East team offense
then ran the final minute

the game.
Grieb started and
played wide receiver the
entire game and made sev-
eral big blocks to help the
running backs gain positive
yardage. He also played

appointed to review a job
description and screen the

No timeline was give
on when the job would be
filled, but an originally-
mentioned three months
was deemed unrealistic to
find a qualified person and
have them on board. Coun-
Morrow County Road Dept. would like to
remind all motorists that with any road
maintenance project to be aware of the
workers, they are very important to us.
Watch for signs, flags and work-zone employees
and equipment. Morrow County’s goal is to provide
a safe roadway. However, it is always up to the
motorist to drive according to conditions. Be patient
and plan ahead. Leave early if you know you will
be driving through work zones. Please use extreme
caution and common sense. They will do their best
and would appreciate your patience

that a qualified local person

Commissioners and
staff also discussed what
could be done to have the
next administrator stay for a
longer period of time. Sorte
was hired in November of
2015 and his last day will
be Aug. 25. County assessor
Mike Gorman said he did
not think it was not good
for county government to
hire a new person every
one-and-a-half to five years,
especially if it takes a year
to find a new person. Com-
missioner Doherty said he
was going to have a “frank
discussion” with Sorte be-
fore he leaves about what
might have encouraged a
longer employment period.
Russell said it was not un-
common for professional
people to stay on the job for
only two to five years.
