The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday, January 12, 1978 THREE
with Justine Weatherford
Right now, happiness is a few days when we don't need to
scrape ice off our cars' windshields and windows and when
we have given up driving around with those bumpy, noisy tire
chains.
I feel very lucky, so far, because the freezing hasn't hurt
me too badly. Our city police kindly transported me some
during the worst days and evenings and only one piece of
equipment froze.
The freezing didn't happen because of the weather and
it really isn't something owned personally. The pop dispenser
at the laundromat froze solid apparently something
malfunctioned within it. When I noticed that it wasn't
working and found frozen and breaking bottles in it, I called
the bottling company and their salesman checked it out and
unplugged it last Thursday. The thawing, dripping pop from
the broken bottles has been a wet, sticky mess that has taken
lots of mopping up. Sure hope they come fix it or replace it
soon.
I hear that the Les Schwab manager Robb Rush and his
wife, Gayle, got to go to personally watch the great Blazers
last weekend. I get so exhilerated just watching Walton,
Lucas, Twardzik and Co. on T.V. I don't know if I could stand
the excitement of being in the coliseum with them.
Ah ! Our new G-T T-V section is very helpful but I am
confused and disappointed regarding my own favorite
network, P.B.S. I finally located it on Ch. 12 (not 5 or 10), but
get a weak picture and no sound. Fudge ! And this week a fine
special on Dr. L.S.B. Leakey, the noted anthropologist,
comes there.
The cable company's chief executive here and a few
others have heard me grumble about the treatment of
P.B.S. but they say I am one of very few here who cares
about Washington Week and Wall Street Week and the
Masterpiece Theater. I wish I conformed better to the
community's standard and could take all those repetitive
commercials on the other three channels but I claim I
really know where the best T.V. is or was.
It has been so interesting to hear a few comments
(feedback) on my last week's column about vandalism. Some
said "O.K."; a few "Too soft"; several "Why didn't you
mention the terrible damage being done in our school
buildings?" I was asked why the paper doesn't publish the
names of juvenile vandals.
Our Police Chief tells me that a state law stopped the
publication of the names of juveniles committing crimes.
However, I do think we should publish the names of young
adults that often abet the juveniles. Publication usually hurts
the parents worse than the kids but in some cases perhaps
both may need to be hurt some.
A recent news item from California says that one school
district there has cut down on vandalism by paying youthful
informers for information about who the property wreckers
are. The district officials claim that this pay-for-squealing
policy has saved money by cutting down on property
damage. What do you think of that? I am not too sure that is
the way to go, but I do know that usually pupils are well
aware of what other schoolmates are doing.
Several of us who got new cameras recently are surely
having fun learning how to take pictures. The new instant
Kodak that Karla gave me is the greatest toy I have had in
years.
My good friend Robert Henry bought himself some fine
camera equipment and a telephoto attachment with which he
has taken dandy pictures. Bob says the pictures I like so
much are just practice shots. When he gets past learning to
use his equipment, I predict he will be a tremendous
photographer. He has excellent eyes and a natural artistic
ability. Maybe he will cut down on rodeoing and spend more
of his recreational energy taking picutres.
Our two recent three-day weekends were nice; however,
they led me to fritter away too much time being mesmerized
by the boob-tube. I also found a four-day work week is
inadequate. I am hoping that I can get organized better now
that we are back to a five-day schedule. Excuses. ..Excuses... .
The past weeks' ice and snow has been frightening to
young and older animals and people. Whenever I have
walked on the slippery stuff I recall Madge Thomson's bad
fall of several years back and try to walk very carefully.
For a little while on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 7, the sun
made brief shadows appear and I began thinking 6f
gardening and of the needed work to complete and begin.
Do you ever dream over beautiful garden catalogs? I've
found this type of reading is hardly sleep inducing. When I
am really having trouble dozing off I just need to take an old
college textbook off the shelf, and now, as always, that will
make me very drowsy.
