row County.
In addition, in an effort
to ease an on-going housing
shortage in south county,
WCVEDG also uses addi-
tional funds it receives for
various housing projects.
Currently there is a hous-
ing rehabilitation program
being offered where people
who fix up their properties
can apply to have up to 20
percent of the costs paid for
by WCVEDG. The group
is also in the process of
purchasing land in Heppner
to build a new duplex and
hopefully relieve some of
the chronic rental housing
shortages in the area.
WCVEDG is a non-
profit group consisting of
businesses and individuals.
A volunteer board meets
once per month to conduct
business and the public is
invited. Anyone who would
like to become a member
of WCVEDG and help
promote economic devel-
opment in the Heppner,
Lexington and Ione area
can email the treasurer at
david@rapidserve.net and
you will be sent an invoice.
Memberships are $25 per
year.

Mustang golf
teams win titles
The Heppner Mustang

and boys’ team titles at the
Grant Union Prospector

John Day is a challenging
course that is long and has
many elevation changes
on several holes. It was in
great shape and the greens
were running fast as several
schools enjoyed a warm
and sunny day of golf. The
other schools that partici-
pated were Enterprise, Wal-
lowa, Vale, Grant Union
and Burns.
The Heppner girls won
the tournament with a team
score of 387. Grant Union
finished in second place by
a hundred strokes as they
shot a 487. Vale was third
with a score of 523.
The Mustangs were led
in scoring by tournament
medalist Nicole Propheter
who shot a 91. Sophie Grant
followed closely in second
with a 92 and Claire Grieb
was next with a 101. Sasha
Keown turned in a 103 and
Madison Combe shot a 106.
Other scores for the Mus-
tangs were Caitlyn Scrivner
113, Marlee Mitchell 125,
Suzie Cason 137, Kenni-
son Wilkins 157 and Kayla
McAninch 162.
The Heppner boys
also finished in first place
with a team score of 359.
They were led by the sec-
ond place finish of Cason
Mitchell who shot an 85.
Logan Burright was fourth
with a round of 89 and Kel-
len Grant followed with a
92. Reno Ferguson had a 93
and Casey Fletcher carded a
104 on the day. Other scores
for the Mustangs were Wy-
att Wilhelm 106, Hunter
Greenup 110, Gavin Hanna
Robinson 111, Charles Ca-
son 112 and Kevin Rea 115.
The next action for the
Mustangs will be this Fri-
