In winter’s bleak chill, Heppner
shows its warmth as a community
By Foster Church
O re g o n O fftra c k co lu m n ist
[E ditor’s Note: This article is reprinted from the M arch 21
edition o f The Oregonian]
Visit H eppner in the winter. The skies are gray then,
and the hills are brown. Snow sweeping across the landscape
leaves a w hite scale on city streets.
O thers m ight suggest that H eppner is the place to be
on St. P atrick’s Day. T h at’s when the tow n springs to life for
an event that celebrates its Irish heritage.
B ut I prefer H eppner taken straight, w hen it’s stark
and bare and basketball is the event that pulls people together.
The best way to find H eppner is to leave Interstate 84
at Biggs Junction and drive through stone-terraced canyons. If
you travel on a cold, foggy day, as I did, you may see a startling
sight just outside Condon: white towers, crow ned by spinning
white blades, rise wraithlike from the mist. They are the turbines
of the Condon Wind Farm, and they possess a totemic grandeur.
H eppner appears suddenly, a little W estern tow n
tucked in a ruffle o f hills.
M ain S treet’s broad boulevard includes real shops
where people buy things. W al-M art hasn’t arrived. T here’s a
sm all superm arket, a drugstore, a m e n ’s clothing store, a
hardw are store and a couple o f bars and restaurants, m any in
tum -of-the-century brick and stone buildings. N ew ow ners
are rem odeling the Northwestern M otel.
H andsom e architecture stands out in this severe
landscape, starting with the white cupola o f the 1903 M orrow
County Courthouse, pillared and ornate against the sky.
This is one of Oregon’s most handsome buildings, faced
with locally quarried blue basalt and reached from the street
by a grandly curving stone staircase. .
Inside, m anagem ent has stood firm against crude
attem pts to m odernize this finely proportioned and decorated
structure.
Like everyone else in tow n, the staff is friendly and
accommodating, willing to show anyone around if time permits.
A singular event that occurred just over a century ago
drapes H eppner like m ourning attire. O ld-tim ers still feel the
lingering shock of the great flood o f 1903.
C liff G reen, w ho ow ns H eppner H ardw are, offered
to walk me through the disaster.
Sunday, June 14, 1903, w as a burning hot day. At
5:16 p.m ., the clock stopped on the new ly built courthouse,
possibly because o f electrical charges in the air preceding a
freak thunderstorm. W hen the rains hit, the waters o f the Willow
C reek and Balm Fork w atershed thundered tow ard the town.
A dam o f debris halted the waters just outside town. W hen the
dam broke, a 30 foot w all o f w ater crashed dow n upon the
town, killing 247 people.
W hen the flood hit, G reen’s great uncle, then six years
old, w as helping his older brother build a house. T he w aters
swept the child away, but he survived. Afterward, Green recalls,
his great uncle “never wanted to talk about it. He was afraid o f
high water until the day he died.”
A perm anent solution to H eppner’s flooding did not
occu r until W illow C reek D am w as built in 1982, creating
W illow C reek Lake. N ow a 165-foot wall o f com pacted
concrete loom s above a ball field at the edge of town, holding
the destructive pow er o f the waters securely behind it
Last June, the Cham ber o f Commerce held a centennial
observance o f the flood, including a d inner served in the
cemetery. Num erous relatives and descendents o f the victims
attended. By all accounts, it was a m oving event, w hich they
plan to repeat every year.
The flood is a com m on m em ory that binds the people
o f Heppner to their past. Perhaps it was this tragic loss so long
ago that keeps the comm unity firmly focused on young people
today.
O n a recent S aturday night in H eppner, dow ntow n
w as as bleak and solem n as the cem etery. The entire town, it
seems, had crow ded inside Heppner High School gym, where
the H eppner M ustangs played the Sherm an Huskies. A band
played, and the action on the floor was hard and fast.
It would be wonderful if the teamwork and effervescent
spirit w ould spill over into the to w n ’s econom y. The Kinzua
mill closed in 1999, the sheep industry has faded and the cattle
industry suffers ups and downs, leaving the town more rooted
in its past than its future.
O n Sunday m orning, I w ent to Jo h n ’s Place on M ain
Street for breakfast. The owner, John G ochnauer, deals daily
with the poor economy and a population that hasn’t much money
to spend on restaurant m eals.
Still, he advertises daily specials. W hen I was there it
was fajitas one night and ribs the next. His Potatoes O ’Brien,
fried with peppers and onions, recalled Heppner’s Irish heritage
and were alm ost worth the trip from Portland.
I like to think that som e enterprising com pany will
realize that a tow n that m elds its past and present w ith
basketball, a national-class St. Patrick’s Day celebration, dinner
in the cem etery and Potatoes O ’ Brien w ould be a great place
to do business.
