Heppner woman San
dra Van Liew got an extra
reward for shopping local
this fall. 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.

Living in close-knit, Eastern Oregon towns, we too
often hear of the exorbitant costs borne by friends and
neighbors struck w ith medical expenses far beyond their
ability to pay. 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://
