first rider in, completing the
course in about one hour and 10
minutes.
Scott Tevault of
Portland, who once again took
time for roadside beautification,
arrived in the second slot,
followed by Adam McCabe and
Colin McElligott. Matt Hams, a

Couple's travels "down under" lead to life in Oregon
When most people think of the
"National Geographic", they
think of remote and exotic
locales. Certainly not Oregon.
But, when you're from New
Jersey and living in Australia,
however, Oregon can look pretty
darned interesting, maybe even
exotic.
That's how recent Heppner
emigrants, Babette and Dennis
Wall, selected Oregon as their
home almost 30 years ago.
Babette and Dennis had both
grown up in New Jersey. When
they met, he was in the Navy and
she was only 19 years old. They
were married after a brief month
long courtship.
After their marriage Dennis
signed up for a second hitch in
the Navy and they went to a little
Navy community of around
1,100 on the western coast of
Australia. In their little town "an
isolated spit of land about 800
miles north of Perth", they went
snorkeling, scuba diving and
fishing, catching prawns, Pacific
lobster, groupers and jack sharks
and then roasting them over big
bon fires on the beach. In
Australia, the newlyweds also
read about the great hunting and
fishing in Oregon in the
"National Geographic" and
dreamed about living there.
So, a year later, when he left he

Navy, they moved to Oregon.
They lived in the Portland area
for 18 years and then in Canby
for 11 years.
Dennis, 54, was a sergeant
with the Portland
Police
Department. He worked as a
crime
scene
investigator,
fingerprint examiner and in
forensic photography. He was
one of 40 people in the state
court qualified as a fingerprint
examiner. He retired four years
ago after 24 years on the force.
Since Dennis had made and
repaired boots and other leather
items for most of his life, when
he retired, he opened a boot shop
at their home in Canby.
Babette, 49, was employed 24
years as a legal secretary for
attorneys in the Portland area.
The Walls also raised hogs in a
feeder operation at their 10-acre
ranch in Canby, "Pigs R Us", and
had quarterhorses.
Their daughter, Christina, 22,
showed horses and was state
grand champion in swine
showmanship in 1994 and 1995 .
She was also was president of her
FFA Chapter in Molalla.
Christina, who now lives in
Bozeman, Montana, is a junior at
Montana State. She was Miss
Clackamas County Rodeo Queen
in 1996 and is Miss Livingston
Round-Up this year. Livingston
is located near Bozeman.
Babette enjoys sewing show
and arena clothing for their
daughter.
Dennis Wall had come to

looking for a small town to move
to, Heppner was their choice.
"We spent a lot of time looking
up and down the valley," said
Dennis. "And this is the town we
liked. People have been so
friendly to us. It's been really
great."
"We feel very welcome," added
Babette, who came to Heppner
for the first time at New Year's.
The Walls have purchased a
home in Heppner and leased the
former Tom's TV shop from Tom
Springer. They heard about the
shop from Lee Ansotegui and
just opened up their boot shop
last Monday. Dennis makes
custom-made boots, repairs boots
and shoes and makes Western
craft items, such as chaps, gun
belts, holsters and cases. Babette
will handle the bookkeeping end
of the business.
The shop is open Tuesday
through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m.
to 1 p.m. ("unless they're
fishing,"
laughs
Babette).
Anyone wishing to place an
order can stop by the shop or call
676-8735. They will also make
appointments for items that need
fitting.
