Ellis Integrated
Vegetation Project
The draft environmental
impact statement (DEIS)

published in the Federal
Register on March 4, 2022,
and a Legal Notice was
published in the East Ore-
gonian (the newspaper of
record) on March 3, 2022.
The Ellis project is in-
tended to increase forest
health and vigor; enhance
unique plant communities;
improve wildlife habitat;
maintain and continue
public and traditional land
uses; and protect values
at risk, public and fire-
fighter safety. The project
is located on the Umatilla
National Forest between
Ukiah and Heppner, OR
and is within Morrow,
Umatilla, and Grant Coun-
ties. The project area is
about 114,600 acres which
includes
approximately
4,600 acres of private land.
Approximately 105,000
acres may be considered
for treatment on National
Forest System lands. No
treatments are proposed
by private landholders at
this time, but the Forest
Service is working collab-
oratively with partners and
neighbors to improve re-
siliency across boundaries
and meet objectives of this
project.
The DEIS analyzes the en-
vironmental consequences
of the no action alterna-
tive, the proposed action,
and four action alternatives
developed in response to
public comments. The
DEIS and supporting doc-
uments are available on
the Umatilla National For-
est project webpage at:

quest for Proposals (RFP)

ified contractor(s) to pro-
vide Nutrition Program
services, including Home
Delivered Meal and Con-
gregate Meal services

tilla Counties.
Congregate meals can be
offered in a variety of set-
tings, including nutrition
sites, senior centers/com-
munity centers, churches,
schools, adult care facili-
ties, restaurants, or other
congregate settings. Gath-

Heppner is coming off
of what was the best base-
ball season the town has
seen in a while. The Mus-
tangs shocked everyone
by going 15-4 and plac-
ing third in the COVID
baseball state tournament.
Heppner graduated four
seniors however, all four
of whom started and con-
tributed heavily to the
team. Heppner will also be
without starting outfielder
Jace Coe who is recov-
ering from a knee injury.
Five spots opened up and
were quickly filled before
the season-opening double
header between the Mus-
tangs and the La Grande
JV team.
Heppner rolled out
their varsity team for
the first game with La
Grande’s JV team. Tucker
Ashbeck took the mound
and held La Grande score-
less for three innings. The
Mustangs struck first, scor-
ing three runs. In the fol-
lowing inning La Grande
scored two runs to keep
the game close. Heppner
scored two more runs to
take a 5-2 lead while se-
nior Toby Nation kept the
Tigers quiet. Junior Carson
Eyenetich took the mound
to close out the game in the
sixth. Heppner would end
the game as they scored
seven runs and forced a
10-run rule victory on the
La Grande JV team.
Heppner took the
chance to play a JV con-
test in the second game
with the JV team from La
Grande. Heppner faced an
early 7–0 deficit and never
recovered as the JV team
fell 12-6. This loss does
not count to the Mustangs
overall varsity record.
The Mustangs will
take a 1-0 record into
Thursday’s double header
with the Baker and Powder
Valley co-op varsity team.
The first game will begin
at 12 p.m. The softball
team will also be taking on
the Baker and Powder Val-
ley co-op team in a double
header. The first of two
games will also begin at 12
p.m. at the Little League
softball field.
