Christian Life Center plans
film showing
Pastor Tim Van Cleave and the
congregation o f the Christian Life
Center will present the movie "Road
to Redemption," a film release from
World Wide Pictures, on Sunday,
Sept. 16, at 6 p.m. at the Christian
Life Center, 535 W. Morgan Street,
Heppner.
Everyone is invited to attend. For
more information, call 676-5581.
Julie Condra and Pat Hingle lead
the cast in this road movie that
"effortlessly shifts gears from comedy
to family, faith and better decisions,"
according to a news release. Also
starring are Leo Rossi, Jay
Underwood, Tony Longo and Wes
Studi.
"Road to Redemption" is a story
about foolish choices and second
chances," said the release.
The story line is as follows:
Amanda Tucker (Condra) and her
boyfriend, Alan (Underw ood), have
just done the unthinkable-they've
stolen money from an underground
bookie (Rossi) only to lose it all on
a "sure thing" horse. Now, Amanda's
trying to sweet talk an early
inheritance out o f her rich
grandfather, Nathan (Hingle), so
W .C .C .C . Golf
they can return the loot by Friday.
Nathan agrees to give her the
money . . . under one condition. It
seems simple enough-take him to
his favorite fishing hole. Not a
problem-until Amanda realizes that
his favorite fishing hole is over 800
miles away in Redemption, Montana.
With the thugs close behind-
including Alan, who sells her out
to save his own hide-Amanda and
Nathan lead a "rollicking chase into
one hilarious adventure after
another." At the same time, Amanda
can't help but be affected by Nathan.
He has an amazing peace with God
and a sincere love for an errant
granddaughter.
"Ultimately, 'Road to Redemption'
reveals that despite our most
embarrassing mistakes, it's never
too late to start life over," said the
release.
World Wide Pictures, the motion
picture ministry of the Billy Graham
Evangelistic Association, has been
producing movies since 1952. WWP
movies are available for community
events, shown on television, and
released to home video and DVD.

Chamber Chatter
By C laudia Hughes
Chamber Executive Director
The Heppner C ham ber meets
every Tuesday at noon. Periodically
during the 15 years that I have been
with the Cham ber the topic o f
meeting frequency comes up. The
conclusion by the board o f directors
has been to continue meeting on a
weekly basis as this keeps the lines
o f communication open and allows
the Chamber to present programs
and hold discussion to assist the
com m unity in m aking their own
inform ed decisions.
All are invited to come get a feel
o f what the Heppner C ham ber o f
Commerce is about before joining.
The first Tuesday o f every month
continues to be the forum where all
entities are invited to report on
potential projects, ideas for job
creation, im provem ents, visitor
activities, promotion, enhancement,
county and city doings, etc. The
C ham ber
tries
to
present
informational programs during the
rem aining three Tuesdays and
suggestions for programs are most
welcome.
Those who are able to attend on
a regular basis will agree that
m em bership is a m ixed bag with
about as many opinions on some
issues as there are members. This
is good. Often individuals hold
opposing ideas and courageously
share their thoughts during the
meetings. This makes for some lively
discussion. Everyone seems to be
interested in hearing what others
think. The object is to keep the lines
o f com m unication open and to
attempt to offer accurate information.
The m ore questions, the better.
People who wish to visit about the
process are invited to stop by the
Chamber office on Tuesdays and
W ednesdays or give a call at 676-
5536 or visit with a board member.
The Chamber has moved to John's
Other Place for noon lunches. They
have appreciated G&D's for having
them die past seven months. Both
are Chamber of Commerce members.
On Tuesday, Sept. 18, Art Hill o f
the Small Business Development
Center will be giving a presentation.
On Tuesday, Sept. 25, the program
will
be
Bruce
Buchanan,
"Community Solutions." Remember
the Job Fair, Wednesday, Sept. 26.
Jobs are available in Heppner and
the W illow Creek Valley. Know
someone looking; then send them
to the Job Fair.
Thought for the week: "Hearsay,
does not result in an informed
decision. Remember the lemmings."

T o b a c c o P rev en tio n
For all you folks who couldn't get enough o f that "hot-selling" item
at the M orrow County Fair and Rodeo, I now have a new shipm ent o f
the "No Smoking" Decals. 1 appreciate all your "promotional efforts;"
what a great w ay to spread the word, to make a statement about not smoking.
If you would like additional decals, please come up to the Health Department
and we'll be glad to supply you with four to five free ones.
A friendly reminder: all school cam puses (not ju st buildings) in
Morrow County are "Tobacco-Free." Please be aware o f this as you attend
athletic and school events - football and volleyball are ju st days away
from the beginning o f their season. Another situation to note: more and
more school districts around our athletic league do have, or are considering,
"Tobacco Free" campuses. The prim ary reason behind this policy is
one o f health, whether we are indoors or out, environm ental tobacco
smoke (ETS) with its 4000 toxins and carcinogens com prom ises us all.
You can pick up a copy o f the "lavender list" o f chem icals along with
the N o Sm oking decal.
Tobacco Prevention has produced an endorsement form to encourage
participation in the Tobacco Education/Prevention Coalition. This form
states our organizational goals and lists options as to how one cares to
be involved. These forms will be at strategic locations around Heppner,
Boardman and Imgon. You may also phone: 676-5421 in Heppner, 481-2112
from Boardman, and 922-4103 from Im g o n to have a copy or copies
m ailed to you.
. I am looking forward to hearing from you. There is much information
to share, and this coming year in tobacco education portends to be very
interesting as we assist folks in understanding som e o f the new laws
regarding tobacco use that cam e out o f the recent legislative session.
