SIX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Heppner volleyball team defeats Enterprise The Mustangs rally around ZaBrena Masterson as she jumps up for a spike. Senior ZaBrena Masterson fights for the ball against the net. -Photos by Susan Hisler. Morgan Cutsforth (#14) gets ready to dump the ball down over the net. Senior Serena Humphreys (#25) sets the ball. By Hannah Finch Last Saturday, October 9, the Heppner volleyball girls traveled to Union, where they played both Union and Enterprise. The first game was lost 0-3, but this didn’t dishearten the Mustangs, who beat Enter- prise 3-1 right afterwards. The girls have shown some impressive resilience this season, and it doesn’t seem to be dying down anytime soon. Next Tuesday, October 19, Heppner will have their senior night. ZaBrena Mas- terson and Serena Hum- phreys are this year’s only seniors. It is also pink night, where the student section will be dressing in pink in respect to Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The school is encouraging fans to wear pink as well. The Mustangs will be playing against Stanfield, so settle in for a good game.

By calling Skip Matthews at 541-256-0383, interested people can learn details for renting on a per- month basis, per-month- per-family basis, renting for an hour for one person or for an hour for a small group. As Skip explains, different scenarios have dif- ferent charges, and during the chilly months, the pool can become quite busy, so talking to him will get a plan in place. Congratulations and happy retirement to Sam Bellamy. Sam is apparent- ly ready for some “down time,” for he has sold his business to John Ferguson. Early this month, Shir- ley Connor was surrounded by family for celebration of her 80 th birthday. And how special it was. For the first time in nineteen years, all of her children (and spouses and children who could come) were with her; Deann from CO- with daughters Sierra and Whit- ney and Whitney’s Dax, who is six; Greg and wife, Jodi, from Asotin; Penny and husband, Doug, from LaGrande, with daughter Anica and husband, Torrey, and their K’Lani (6) and Katie; Eric and wife, Irene, from Fall City, WA, with daughter Clara. A niece and a cousin added to the festivities that included 21 for dinner at G&B on Sun- day, the 3 rd . Judy Buschke enjoyed lunch with 11 friends at the Elks on Thursday, the 7 th , a special part of her 83 rd birthday celebration. The beautiful bouquet was a bonus, and the cards and calls from many family members made the day one to remember. Veda George, who is a fourth-grader in a fam- ily of hunters, once again proved her prowess as a hunter last week. Last year, Veda, daughter to Destiny, granddaughter of Cam and great-granddaughter of Kit, was determined to go deer hunting, so she put in many hours to perfect her shoot- ing and handling of a rifle. Her reward was her clean hit of a three-point buck, in the mentored-hunter pro- gram. This year, again in the mentored-hunter pro- gram, Veda made a perfect shot of an elk at 235 yards. Maybe a bit disappointed by the lack of antlers, Veda grabbed the ears as though they were antler bases and smiled the smile of a suc- cessful hunter. This is homecoming week at Ione High School. Every day has added an activity to increase the ex- citement, such as the mud wars. Tomorrow, everyone is invited to the noise pa- rade at 2 p.m. in the park and then to the volleyball match at 5. And the bonfire will blaze after that. On Friday, the football team will host Dufur at 7 p.m., and the homecoming court will be presented during halftime. Topping off the week will be the dance on Saturday, a chilly outdoor affair at the park. Good news for anyone who likes pie but prefers that someone else make them: HHS FBLA members are again selling home- made pies. Advisor Jeanne Collins reports that the members do actually make the crusts and the fillings, under her and Rita Berg- strom’s watchful eyes, and will be doing that after school hours beginning on November 15. Orders may be placed until November 11 with FBLA students or by calling the high school at 541-676-9138. The average yearly number of these pies, which are delivered frozen, is 200. The varieties are lemon icebox, Oreo, apple, cherry, mixed berry, peach, pecan and pumpkin. This is an opportunity to mark one chore off one’s holi- day-dinner list of things to make and to support the organization’s effort to fund their trip to the Ore- gon convention and to pay members’ dues.
