Van Liew was the winner o f a Janome Jem Gold 3 portable sewing machine during the Sew Or egon Shop Hop, which took place Oct. 5-21, 2012. The Quilter’s Round- Up in Heppner was one of 43 shops that participated in the state-wide quilt-shop event. The event was sepa rated into five regions, and each region offered a sew ing machine as a prize for those who participated in the Shop H op...for every shop visited, the participant gained another entry toward the prize. Van Liew didn't need m ultiple entries to win, though. She visited only her local store, the Quilter’s Round-Up, during the Oc tober event. “I went to Prineville,” she said, “but their store was closed. I won with a single ticket.” The Sew Oregon Shop Hop is in its sixth year. Cyn thia Wenberg, who works at Quilter’s Round-Up, says this is the fourth year their shop has participated in the Shop Hop, and the first time anyone local has won the regional prize. The Heppner store had 52 Shop Hop participants this year.

For all the effort and donations that go into helping them, generally they and their families are still saddled with insurmountable bills that aré as life changing as the medical catastrophe itself. It is time for all Oregonians to have comprehensive health insurance. Health care is a human right. Most other developed nations provide universal health care to their citizenry. Insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry are spending billions to lobby our legislators and bend our minds to oppose Single Payer Coverage at the national and state levels. Oregon could be the third state in the nation to pass a comprehensive state health care plan. Health Care for All-Oregon (HCAO) is a state-wide, grassroots effort to change Oregon’s constitution to in clude health care as a human right and to find a way for all Oregonians to have health care throughout our state. Oregon Rural Action’s health care team is working with over 60 other Oregon organizations to make health care for all a reality. Join us at one of our meetings on Jan. 7 or 25, call the office at 541-975-2411 or visit http:// oregonrural.or-q/our-work/health-care-reform.
