THREE - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, August 29, 2018 Mustangs begin volleyball season The Heppner Mus- tang volleyball team got their season underway last week by playing the Irri- gon Knights and the Uma- tilla Vikings in Irrigon. The Mustangs lost to the Knights in a hard fought match by the scores of 25- 20, 21-25, 20-25 and 20-25. They then bounced back to defeat Umatilla in three straight sets by the scores of 25-11, 25-8 and 25-14. In the first set against Irrigon, the Mustangs jumped out quickly and led all the way to the end. The second set was a close one with three lead changes and seven ties before the Knights pulled out the win. In the third set the Mustangs trailed for most of it and they could only tie the score twice before falling. The fourth set saw the Mustangs jump out to a quick 7-1 lead before Irrigon made a charge. Heppner held a 14-9 lead before the Knights stormed back to tie the score 14-14. The Mustangs trailed the rest of the way and took the loss. Claire Grieb led the Mustangs in serving, going 25-26 in the match. Maddie Combe, Sydney Wilson and Nicole Propheter were each 10-11 and Genevieve Smith was 11-12. Jenna McCullough finished the match 11-14 from the ser- vice line. Sydney led the team in digs or passes with 41. Aimee Turrell recorded 27, Maddie had 22 and Nicole followed with 20. Claire had 18 assists to lead the team and Genevieve was next with eight. Sydney led a balanced attack with eight kills in the match.

According to a news release, firefighters have successfully contained all wildfires that have been reported on the Umatilla National Forest. The weath- er will continue to be cooler this week with increased relative humidity, which will aid firefighting efforts in mop up efforts. The Harrison Fire re- mains 30 acres and is now 100 percent contained. The fire is located 16 miles west of Sumpter, OR, within the Greenhorn unit of the North Fork John Day Wilderness on the North Fork John Day Ranger District. This section of the wilderness is remote and in steep terrain, making access difficult. Firefighters are continuing to conduct mop up activ- ities on the fire. Mopping up includes searching for pockets of heat, digging out the heat source and cooling with water. An area, trail and road closure within the vicinity of the Harrison Fire is in effect. The Gilman Fire, lo- cated near Gilman Flats on the Heppner Ranger District and Prineville Bu- reau of Land Management lands that are protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry, is 954 acres in size and 100 percent contained. Grant County has lifted the Level 1 Pre-Evacuation Fire Advisory for the area of Monument, Ritter, Dale and Middle and North Fork communities. Fire officials want to remind everyone that the current fire danger rating re- mains at HIGH and Public Use Restrictions involving campfires and chainsaw use are in effect. Alexis had 19 digs or passes while Sydney fin- ished with 16 and Maddie had nine. Claire recorded 16 assists and Genevieve had four. Jenna led the team with 11 kills and Maddie and Nicole had four each. The Mustangs then traveled to John Day the next day for the Grant Union tournament. They played the entire day in one set pool play or three set matches against teams from Jordan Valley, Enterprise, Crane, Burns, Nyssa and Weston-McEwen. Heppner will next play on Saturday when they host their own tournament at Heppner High School.

Joe and Leanne Lindsay Restrictions eased on the Umatilla National Forest Public use restrictions (PURs) on the Umatilla National Forest dropped to Phase A as of 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 28. The Sea- sonal Campfire Restrictions will also be in effect as part of Phase A of the PURs. Fire managers have eased the public use restrictions due to cooler weather con- ditions and a decrease in fire danger. Phase A is the second level of restrictions, gener- ally implemented when the fire danger is moderate to high. PURS are phased in collectively, as conditions warrant, and may differ from forest to forest. These restrictions include: -Chainsaws may be operated only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time. A one hour fire watch is required after saw operations cease. Saw op- erators are required to have an axe (minimum 2 lb. head, 26” length), shovel (8” wide, 26” length) and fire extinguisher (minimum ABC 8 oz.) in their posses- sion. Chainsaw operation associated with commercial and personal use firewood permits are regulated under the conditions of the permit and are not impacted by this public use restriction. -Smoking is allowed only in enclosed vehicles, buildings or cleared areas. -No off-road/off-trail vehicle travel or travel on roads not cleared of stand- ing grass or other flamma- ble material; no vehicle travel on those FS roads where access has been im- peded or blocked by earthen berm, logs, boulders, barri- er, barricade or gate, or as otherwise identified in the fire order. Seasonal campfire re- strictions and requirements described for June 1- Octo- ber 31 apply. -Campfires allowed only in fire pits surrounded by dirt, rock, or commercial rings and in areas not con- ducive to rapid fire spread. All flammable material shall be cleared within a 3-foot radius from the edge of the pit and free of over- hanging material. Use exist- ing pits wherever possible. -Campfires must be attended at all times and completely extinguished prior to leaving. -Persons with camp- fires are required to have a tool that can serve as a shovel and one gallon of water in their posses- sion. The intent of this requirement is to ensure individuals with a campfire to have the tools necessary to completely extinguish their campfire. Portable cooking stoves using liquefied or bottled gas and wood burn- ing stoves equipped with a chimney that is at least five feet in length with a spark-arresting screen con- sisting of quarter inch mesh hardware cloth are allowed. -Use of charcoal bri- quettes is permitted under the same restrictions as campfires described above. The public’s awareness of the fire danger and coop- eration is essential to a safe fire season. Recreationists, firewood cutters, hunters and other forest users can all help by closely adhering to restrictions, operating safely and cautiously and keeping up-to-date on the latest orders and regula- tions. Regulated closures are in effect on state and private lands protected by Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) in northeast and cen- tral Oregon.
