On Thursday evening,
May 15, more than 40
local kids participated in
the Elks Youth Night.
Prizes were donated
from Jerry Martin and the
local Elks Lodge #358.
That meant that when
prizes were drawn, all kids
got at least one prize.
Prizes ranged from
coolers, fishing poles,
coloring books, golf balls,
basketballs, nerf guns,
squirt guns and many
other prizes.
Two guns were raffled
off—a 12-gauge turkey
shotgun, won by Mack
Sweeney, and a semi-au-
tomatic .22, won by Luke
Bothum.
A spaghetti dinner
was served. Fun was had
by all.
Despite a perfect per-
formance at the plate from
senior Delaney Stefani, the
Heppner Mustangs came
up short in a dramatic 11-8
loss to the Weston-McEw-
en TigerScots May 13.
Stefani went five-for-
five, collecting a double
and four singles to lead
the Mustangs’ offense in a
back-and-forth battle that
went into extra innings.
Isabel Payne also had
a standout game, deliver-
ing a momentum-shifting
three-run double in the
fourth inning that helped
Heppner briefly take the
lead.
We s t o n - M c Ew e n
jumped ahead early with
a two-run homer from B.
Ward in the first inning
and extended their lead to
5-1 by the top of the third.
But the Mustangs stormed
back in the bottom of the
fourth, scoring five runs
on just two hits to go up
6-5.
The lead seesawed
through the fifth and sev-
enth innings, with both
teams exchanging runs.
Maya Payne’s RBI single
in the fifth briefly put Hep-
pner ahead 8-7, but another
home run by Weston-McE-
wen’s H. Berry tied the
game at eight in the sev-

In previous years, personnel expenses for maintenance and recorder for the Water Fund were lumped together. This year they each have their own line item. In the past
nothing was paid from the Street Fund for the Clerk wages. Adjustments were made this year where a FTE percentage of .55 is now charged to the General Fund, .25 to the
Street Fund, .30 to the Water Fund and .05 to the Fire Fund for the Clerk wages.

The TigerScots sealed
the win in the top of the
eighth, capitalizing on an
error to bring in two runs
and adding a third on a
groundout.
Heppner’s
Isabel
Payne pitched a gritty
eight innings, giving up
11 hits and 11 runs (eight
earned), while striking out
10. At the plate, Heppner
drew eight walks, showing
patience and discipline,
with Kadie Henrichs,
Avree Lathrop and Ciciley
Stefani each earning two
free passes.
The Mustangs looked
to bounce back as they
hosted Elgin on Tuesday
in their final doublehead-
er of the regular season.
Heppner (7-3 league, 16-4
overall) is currently ranked
second in 2A/1A state soft-
