New owners renovate Heppner bowling alley
The new owners of Corbin's
Bowl and Diner, formerly
Willow Lanes, are busy painting,
refinishing, re-carpeting putting
in new linoleum and generally
sprucing up the place in hopes of
reopening the restaurant and
bowling alley fair and rodeo
weekend.
Linda and Terry Corbin, most
recently
from
Beaverton,
purchased the bowling alley
August 1.
For Terry, 49, moving to
Heppner is coming home. He
was bom to Bert and Genevieve
Corbin tn a house by the old
swimming pool in Heppner and
was delivered by Dr. Tibbles.
His grandparents were Mr. and
Mrs. John Hanna, Sr., and his
aunts and uncles include Jean
and Don Bennett, Mildred
Connor and Millie and Johnny
Hanna.
Terry left Heppner after
graduating from high school in
1968. He returned in 1971-72 to
accept a job as a sheriffs deputy
for the Morrow County Sheriffs
Office.
He has worked for 14 years in
canine detection with the Metro
Explosive Unit while with the
Port of Portland. He worked in
the Portland tri-county area in
addition to being flown into
many places to respond to bomb
blast
threats
and
post
investigations.
Linda, 50, has not only
provided care for her young
grandchildren, but has also been
very politically active. She has
been involved in getting
Measure 58 placed on the ballot
this fall. Measure 58, if passed,
would give adult adoptees the
right to access their birth
certificates the same as non
adoptees.
Measure 58 is very personal
for Linda, because she gave up a
daughter for adoption 32 years
ago. She was able to find her
daughter, Erica Zwiefel, and
they were reunited in 1991
The Corbins have two other
daughters,
Teresa
Hintz,
Beaverton, who has two
children, Zach and Micha; and
Tina Corbin, who has also
moved to Heppner with her two
children, Connor and Jessie.
Tina will be involved working at
the restaurant.
The Corbins are glad to be
back in Heppner. "We always
knew we would come back when
Terry retired," said Linda. "We
have lots of friends living in the
Heppner area. Of course, there's
lots of new faces too."
She said that they had wanted
to own a business and things just
fell into place when Terry’s
cousin, Sandi Hanna, called
them and said that the bowling
alley was for sale.
