My family and I were only in Heppner for a few days (we stayed with the David and April Sykes family), but memories of the visit will last , a long time. I was lucky to be in Heppner during a visit by Rep. Al Ullman. In a question and answer period after Ullman's speech on the courthouse lawn, I had the opportunity to learn a little about how Heppner people feel about a variety of issues. Among other things, I found them to be fiercely independent, conser vative in a common-sense way, outspoken and hard-working, qualities other parts of the state and nation could use a good dose of. I also found the wheat growing area around Heppner breathtakingly beautiful. The scenery brought to life the song phrase"amber waves or grain" I have sung and heard Public Library Monday through Friday-1 to S p.m. Thursday-7 to p.m. Saturday to 4 pjn.

I promised April Sykes that if I wrote a letter to the editor, I would tell it like it is. so I must say (maybe I'll Just whisper it) that I found Heppner to be less than a bed of roses. There were a few thorns. You have the most persis tent flies in the world, and some of them even bite! The bees sting, but maybe they only sting outsiders like me. There were not enough trees for my taste and the ocean is too far away. And it was hot. but I expected that. Overall I think Heppner is a pleasant place and I'm sure its residents wouldn't trade it for anyplace. And I don't blame them. I hope to visit again soon and stay longer.
