Kindness to strangers Dear Editor and People of Heppner, On Sunday, May 20,2012, we were traveling through your beautiful area of the country on our return trip to South Dakota. One of our car tires blew out about 10 miles outside of Heppner, and we were feeling stranded with no idea how we were going to get a new tire on a Sunday. We were standing outside the car assessing our situation, and Betty Jo Colvin and her daughters, Zabrena, Zandra and Zaleta, stopped to ask if we needed help. The girls so kindly made room in their car for me, and Betty Jo took me into Heppner while my husband waited with the car. Since it was a Sunday. Betty Jo took me to her house, offered me coffee and tried to contact someone to help us. The individuals she called were at church, so Betty Jo took me to the sheriff’s office, and some calls were made to assist us. Betty Jo took me back to our car with some water to drink and nutrition bars to eat while we waited. In about 15 minutes, Matt Baker from Les Schwab Tire Center arrived, put on our spare tire, and we followed him back to Heppner, where he opened the business and changed our tire. Our very heartfelt thanks go to all who helped us on a Sunday when we are sure they all had better ways to spend their time. Their kindness and friendliness meant so much to us and reflect very positively on them and the community of Heppner. Reuben and Teri Bezpaletz Pierre, SD 41 years of memories To the Editor, Now that the dust of our remodeling and our move from Heppner is complete, we are finding our thoughts returning to Heppner in our reflections of life events of the past 41 years in Heppner. Heppner offered us the enjoyment of freedom of opportunity in all realms of our lives as we established a business entity and lifelong friendships, as we com mitted ourselves into the community organizations and developments. The community of Heppner offered our family the opportunity for tremendous spiritual growth through the local church. We raised our children and watched them grow through the outstanding school system, 4-H pro grams, sporting and outdoor activities. We cherish our ties to the Kinzua family and the Morrow County Grain Growers. We were blessed by the community in all of its endeavors, friendships, the life of Willow Creek Valley and our wonderful neighbors. So thank you, Heppner, for all your mentoring and challenges that go into making wonderful memories.
