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.

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.
Sincerely,
Dick and Lynnea Sargent
