U S PS. 240-420 » “April showers bring May flowers” and the hills are alive with wildflowers. Just take a drive to the top of Jones Hill and Highway 74 and you will see for yourself. One more reason to be grateful for the place we call home. A short drive offers nature at its finest. Graduation is just around the comer and another group of young adults will be packing their bags to venture out beyond Heppner to big cities. As we send them on with best wishes and hopes for a positive future, we also wish that they would someday return to start a business and sink their roots in Heppner. Beyond sports, are we creating enough for young people to do? Have we included them in community projects to help them feel needed, listened to, connected to the w hole? Are we w orking at co n n ectin g the generations? Have we listened to their concerns, wants and needs? Have they listened to ours? Locals are working to create more jobs for them to return to, but it’s a difficult task. Businesses, educators, organizations and parents who include young people in community projects and group experiences “outside o f the box” are to be commended. They are making a connection with the wise spirits of the younger generation. All of us, regardless of experience or age can learn from each other. When all ages volunteer and work together, a pattern of community service emerges that carries into adulthood. Human beings who feel respected and help to make a difference stay involved. Many of these great young people will be leaving us soon. Heppner is proud of them, wishes them well and will welcome them home both to visit and to stay. Congratulations graduates, from the Heppner Chamber of Commerce. Next week during the Chamber luncheon, Cyde Estes will be discussing MCURD and the Morrow County Cultural Coalition.
