A town to always remember M any hands keep Heppner litter-free To the Editor I’ll never forget when my wife and I first arrived in the town of Heppner with a three-year-old and a new baby. It was the fall of 1987. The hills were brown, and the town didn't seem particularly beautiful. We had no idea that we would spend the next 21 years raising six children in this community. We soon learned what made Heppner such a great place to live—the warmth of the people. Through the years, I got to know so many wonderful people while pastoring and working for the school district, the cem etery, and Pettyjohn’s. It was a privilege to serve on the city council, serve as mayor, belong to the chamber of commerce, and coach the sport I love, basketball. I enjoyed watching my kids play sports, and I equally enjoyed watching many of your kids play sports as they grew up. I’ll never forget when my son returned from the Navy and thanked me for raising him in Heppner. Working with people from such different backgrounds had shown him the value of being raised in this small, closely-knit community. You helped shape us and our children into the people we are today. We still miss Heppner dearly. (s) Tim Van Cleave, Pendleton, OR To the Editor: Last Friday night we went and watched the Mustangs play the Culver Bulldogs. We are proud of the way the Mustang coaches and players handled themselves against the most unsportsmanlike conduct we have ever seen a team play. Thank you Mustangs for showing the class that you have.

This is be cause a lot of organizations and individual citizens make a continuing effort to keep our community looking good for ourselves and our visitors. It is time now to do a fall tidy-up for the winter sea son. The Heppner Chamber of Commerce, the Heppner Lions Club, the Bank of Eastern Oregon employees, the Heppner Elementary School staff and the Morrow County employee groups all have adopted segments of the state highways in town and on the approaches to town under the Oregon Department of Transportation Litter Pick Up Program. The ODOT sponsorship and support of this program is gratefully acknowledged. Additionally, the employees of the U.S. Forest Service Heppner Ranger District do litter pick-up on Willow Creek Road from the junction with State Highway 207 to the upper end of the Willow Creek Reservoir. Also, the City of Heppner Public Works Department puts forth considerable effort on street sweeping and trash receptacle maintenance. The efforts of these organizations and individual community members all contribute to keeping Heppner looking good. Keep up the good work!
