Jennifer Rankin Branson, formerly o f Heppner, proved herself this past week in negotiating a cross-country flight back to Oregon. Jennifer and her new husband, Travis, were married June 10 in Atlanta, Georgia, and had planned to return to Heppner Thursday for a wedding reception planned in their honor at Anson W right Park Sunday afternoon. The attack on the W orld Trade Center and the Pentagon tem porarily forced the cancellation o f all flights out o f Atlanta and it appeared that the young couple would be stranded, m issing their flight and their reception. Their flight was cancelled, but the couple was sent to inquire about a flight to Oregon with another airline. The attendant at Delta Airlines told them that it just would not be possible for them to get on the flight scheduled for Portland. Jennifer, however, wouldn't take no for an answer, pulled out photos o f her horses and her family back in Oregon and told them how important it was for her to get home. M aybe it was the horses, m aybe it was the County-wide leadership program slated A leadership program set in the com m unities o f Morrow County is scheduled to begin October 10.

The manager relented and eventually let them on the flight, the only one from Atlanta to Portland before Saturday and a direct flight to boot. They were not only able to fly home, but arrived before their previously scheduled flight and in plenty o f time for their reception. Jennifer and her husband, who live in Douglasville, Georgia, say that all o f Atlanta has been shut down, not just the airport, but the whole city, because FBI headquarters and the Federal Reserve are located there. Tim Rankin, Jennifer's father, said that it was "kind of eerie" when they went to pick up the kids at the Portland airport because m ilitary jets were the only planes in the air. Jennifer, 23, and Travis, 25, a native o f Atlanta, met in Portland where they had both been working at Pioneer Square. They have been in the Atlanta area for the past year, attending college-she in political science, and he in physical education and sports management.

This w as a featured article in the U S . Chamber o f Commerce September issue, which reported that C ongress had declared a "National Eat D inner W ith Your Kids Day". The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse has taken it a step further by challenging families to sit down for a meal together the fourth M onday in September. Studies have shown a com pelling connection between regular family dinners and lessened substance abuse risk. Some may wonder, "And what does this have to do with the Chamber o f Com merce?" Seems simple. Communication, canng. time to share thoughts and ideas, worth as a human being, self-esteem, honesty, eagerness to learn, treatment o f others, volunteerism, sense o f humor, all begin at home and what better place than around a leisurely dinner without the T. V. Slow down. Get to know each other again. Family, school, business, community, our nation... they're all connected. So, you're encouraged to sit down, not just on Sept. 24, but as many evenings as possible to share a family meal with your children, your grandchildren or a borrowed family. No time to cook, share the preparation or patronize one of Heppner's local restaurants. Youth are our future, and we just may benefit as much or more than they do by giving them our undivided attention. It's surprising what we can all learn if we really make time to listen.
