Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 29, 1995 - FIVE
Goodyear to resign from Port Evangelist to speak at CLC
B y A p r il H i lt o n - S y k e s
Kent Goodyear of Heppner
has resigned his position on the
Port of Morrow to take a job as
a sales manager with a private
timber company, Collins Pine
Company, Portland, effective
the end of January
Goodyear, who has been
employed with the Port since
May 1994, had been a Port of
Morrow Commissioner since
January of 1981 and was Port
Commission president for three
of those years. Prior to his posi
tion at the port, Goodyear was
employed 22 years with Kinzua
Corporation as an assistant
marketing manager and then as
marketing manager.
Goodyear said that Collins, a
150 year old company, was
much like Kinzua Corporation
and founders of the two com
panies came out of the same
area in Pennsylvania. He says
that in addition to timber, Col
lins also has oil and gas hold
ings.
The company has operations
in Chester, California, and
Pennsylvania as well as Ore
gon.
"It was a tough decision (to
accept the position), said
Goodyear, "but the opportuni
ty was pretty large. The com
pany pursued m e." He added
that his experience with the
port made him a "m ore well
rounded individual".
Port of Morrow Commis
sioner Jerry Healy said that
Goodyear's decision to leave
will have a real impact on the
port and com m ented that
Goodyear will be missed.
Goodyear has lived in Hepp
ner for 23 years. His wife,
Carol, grew up at Kinzua and
graduated from high school at
Fossil. Her father, Allen Nistad,
was general manager at Kinzua
Corp. until 1982. The Good-
years have two children,
Aleida, who is a sophomore at
Pacific University at Forest
Grove, and Ben, an eighth
grader at Heppner Junior High
School.

Reverend Pieter G.K.M. Bos,
an Assemblies of God evan
gelist, will be the featured guest
speaker at Christian Life Cen
ter, Heppner, on Dec. 3-6. The
Reverend Bos will speak at
10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Dec. 3,
and at 7 p.m. Dec. 4-6, accor
ding to Reverend Tim Van
Cleave, pastor.
The Reverend Bos was born
in the Netherlands and was
raised in a Dutch reform home.
His desire to become involved
in m inistry and m issions
started when he was about 10
years old, while he was atten
ding a Sunday School class
where missionaires were talk
ing about their experiences in
the field. "H aving been raised
under extrememly difficult cir
cumstances and after a period
of teenage rebellion, he forgot
about his vision, but God
didn't," commented the Rever
end Van Cleave. "W hen God
regained his attention, he re
committed his life to the Lord
and was baptized with the Ho
ly Spirit."
The Reverend Bos then be
came involved in a Pentecostal
church and in in ner-city
ministry. A few years later, he
married an American girl who
worked with Youth With A
Mission in Amsterdam-Hol
land. Upon arrival in the U.S.,
he taught evangelism and dis-
cipleship, worked as a counsel
or teacher and training center
director in the ministry of teen
challenge in Pennsylvania and
Washington, and was a pastor
and evangelist "with a heart for
missions".
All are welcome to attend
and listen to Reverend Bos.
