Never underestim ate the
determ ination o f a country girl.
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

family photos or Jennifer's sweet
but persuasive nature, but the
attendant felt sorry for them and
called the manager. 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.
Jennifer earlier had her
horses shipped to Atlanta and has
been showing hunter-jumpers.
The couple planned to
return to Atlanta Tuesday night.

Heppner Chamber Executive Director
Is there truth to the old saying
that "families that eat together stay
together"? 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.
Next week: program: "Community
Solutions" at noon, at John's Other
Place.
Thought for the week: "A life
that's lived is practiced one day at
a time." - Frohmeyer
