EUGENE REGISTER GUARD, Sunday, Oct. 21. 1862 Pig SO
Out the Other
Mmmmmauattamuam DON B1SHOTF iraeiSsfcmM;KJ
Some left over bits of debris from the Oct. 12 storm;
Among the last EWEB customers to get their power
restored sometime last week were L. W. Trommlitz and
John Tiffany. Trommliti happens to be president of the EWEB
board of directors and Tiffany one of its members. EWEB
Supt Byron Price's lights never went out.
There were the usual silly phone calls to area utilities
and governmental agencies. EWEB got a call from a man who
said, "My refrigerator light is out What should I do?"
And someone phoned the weather bureau at the height
of the storm, not to inquire about how bad the storm was,
how long it would last, or other such pertinent information. He
wanted to know what the Eastern Oregon weather would be
like in the week upcoming. He was going deer hunting.
State employment service's Eugene office stayed open
all weekend after the storm to handle calls from people who
needed workers to help clean up the mess. Except for one or
two early Saturday morning, nobody called.
One resident had only one can opener in the house
during the storm. It was electric.
Donald Gott family in River Road district had their
plastic patio cover yellow in color blown away during the
storm. But a few gusts later someone else's patio cover green
In color, same size blew, into their yard.
South Eugene area resident had been trying for weeks
to dislodge an unwanted oak tree on his property. Had
hacked away at the roots, dug around them, trying to weaken
its hold on the ground and vice versa. Reports it came
through the storm completely unscathed, is still standing de
fiantly outside his window.
Moose Talent Test Sunday
AND NATURALLY somebody wrote a poem about the
storm man named Dale Allen who lives at 119 Marion Lane.
Ordinarily poetry ain't run 'round here, on the theory that
the printing of one line of the stuff will unleash a flood from
the frustrated Longfellows in our midst.
But the office poetry expert says this isn't really poetry
It's doggerel, whatever that is so that gets things off 'the
hook. It's called "Echo of the Blow":
Shuffle of frenzied feet
Down on Willamette Street,
Oh, for the love of Pete
See the commotion!
Wind gcttin' mighty rough,
Look at it huff and puff,
Air full of fhjin' stuff
Great Land of Goshen!
Oops! Now the lights are out;
Better start home no doubt.1
Cars stranded all about
Bumper to bumper.
Ease out the parking stall,
(Few open streets at all),
Try the peripheral
(This wind's a stumper.')
Weave thru the fallen trees,
Limbs flying in the bree:e,
hot wires if you please
Curled like spaghetti.
hard to identify
Everything sailing by.
Shingles invade the sky
Thick as confetti.
Wheel up at home to see
Leaky roof alien tree.
Yard cluttered with debris
Conglomeration!
Cold house and frightened cat!
Dead furnace thermostat!
No sign of Welcome Mat!
Only frustration!
Cook stoves won't operate;
Coffee won't percolate;
Washer won't agitate
Nothing seems right!
Fill up the kerosene
Lamp by the figurine
Break out the gasoline
Camp stove and light!
Shaver won't activate:
Furnace won't aerate;
Frige won't refrigerate
Harfc to my plea!
EWEB forget-me-not!
I'm really in a spot!
Bring Reddy Kilowatt
Back here to me!
It's probably niet-picking, but it should be pointed out that
Reddy Kilowatt is the trademark of the private electric com
panies and they're kind of sensitive about municipal organiza
tions like EWEB being associated with them.
Mr. Allen, incidentally, is hereby nominated as The Man
Most Likely to Win Mrs. Wcbley in That Tea Contest We
Wrote About A While Back.
ONE FINAL NOTE, not storm-connected. The trials of
Dick Townsend, would-be deer, hunter, have been chronicled
here for some weeks. The "World's Best Deer Hunter Still
Works Here" sign outside hs cleaning plant has become a hoi
lower and hollower claim as Townsend returned from hunting
each weekend empty-handed.
Last weekend was finally set as the de'Mne. The new
sign outside the cleaning shop this past week tells the end
of the story:
"I Take It All Back."
