Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 19,2005 - FIVE Chamber Chatter Wedding By Claudia Hughes, Kxe. Dir. More and more visitors step through the Chamber office door and comment that they want to move here. Instead of the freeway, they have chosen the back roads, the "rugged country”. This is an opportunity to invite them to move here, to buy a business and become a part of this community to which they are drawn. It’s about growing Heppner and bringing in new families. Hayden Family Dentistry... what a great addition to Main Street. Aren’t we fortunate to have dentists and doctors right here in our small community. Many rural towns would "give their eye teeth” to have these facilities in their neighborhood (maybe a better example in this instance would be “the shirt off their back” ). With gas prices continuing to skyrocket, we are so lucky to be able to buy our groceries and do our doctoring right here in town. We take this for granted until we talk to other ruralites who have to drive miles and miles when an emergency arises or when they need a necessity. Have you noticed the villages being developed in large cities so that people can walk to the post office, the comer store, the drugstore and the beauty shop? We don’t get it. Our village is right here. One of these beautiful fall days, take a walk and explore Heppner. Call a friend. Start at Green Feed and move through town. Shop in each store, take a mental inventory, and think about how it serves your needs. Share realistic ideas with the owners, compliment them and thank them for staying in business so that your town might thrive. Leam from them, as they will from you. Have a “sm oothie” and check out the art at Cornerstone Gallery, visit the museum, look at all the exciting projects at the Artisan Village, check out Christmas ideas at Peterson's, have an energy drink at Murray’s and don’t miss The Victorian Rose. Meet the scarecrows along the street. Been thinking about redoing a room, stop by Heppner Hardware. Before you know it you will have discovered all kinds of opportunities, had a good chat with your friend, had a bite of lunch, saved gas, purchased your groceries and supported your local hometown. You might visit the museum, go bowling, rent a movie, or try out the therapy pool. It’s an adventure pretending you are a visitor in Heppner. Give it a try. There are stories to be written and ideas to grow. Thought for the week: “Happiness is not elusive, but some forget to make time for it; a good laugh or helping others brings it on.” Arbuckle Nordic Ski Club meets The Arbuckle Ski Club had its first meeting of the year. Anyone in the community who would like to join the ski club and attend one of the weekly scheduled ski trips beginning in January is encouraged to call Bill Ewing at 676-9119 or Dave Fowler at 676-9109.
