Willi .iiMim- etnltcilt.nl W J So here we are into the seventh month, July. Tomorrow the citizens of the U.S. will celebrate Independence Day, the 104th anniversary of the date that the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. This month, named by Julius Caesar after himself when he readjusted the calendar is usually one of the hottest months of the year in the northern hemisphere, but It is wintertime far south of the equator where the weather ranges from mild to really cold now. Many other countries celebrate national holidays this month, for instance, in France Bastille Day is July 14, In Canada Dominion Day was July 1, in the Philippines Independence Day is also July 4 and Venezuela, Argentina, Belgium, The Netherlands and Peru also have national holidays this month. There is an old English proverb that states "If the first of July be rainy weather, it will rain, more or less, for four weeks together." Hopefully this proverb won't apply here where we have already had more rain than usual and where our farmers are struggling with haying. I was sorry to miss the Grand Opening of the McDonald Chevrolet dealership here last weekend; however, I had pre-planned to go up into Washington State for family visiting and to return Grand-daughter Anita to her father. I've gotten acquainted with Ron "Big Mac" at Chamber of Commerce and know that he and his family are a nice addition to our community and to St. Patrick's Parish. Although Anita claimed her 1980 stay in Heppner was dull, inspite of the rain which slowed outdoor activity and curtailed swimming, she admitted she enjoyed playing with Kim Warren and Jennifer Currin and had many good hours of reading 12 books from the Heppner Library. Anita, my friend Ida Farra and I had a delightful, educational trip to Ritzville, Cheney, Spokane and Moses Lake and interesting stops along our way. This was our first look about several ash-covered areas. We saw miles of what looked like pearl-grey snow lining highways and city streets and covering fields. Ritzville's condition was most impressive where traffic is still asked to move at only 15 miles per hour. Its in-town golf course is deeply covered with the grey ash and at some collection points great piles of it are waiting removal as are the many smaller heaps along all the curbsides. I noted one residential flower garden that had heaps of ash every few feet throughout its expanse. As we drove northeasterly on Friday evening we got into the ash fallout about at Connell. We had our supper at Perkins at the east exit from Ritzville. We know that many motorists were stranded there on May 18 and this restaurant has been greatly praised for sheltering so many of them. In fact, the whole community of Ritzville earned gold stars for taking in thousands of freeway travelers and housing and feeding them for several days under very adverse conditions. While staying with my daughter Ann Chenhall and family we enjoyed a special Saturday morning treat as we went along with a Cheney Library childrens' "train tour." Many children, a few mothers, and a library helper walked from the library just two blocks to the traditional, still functioning, town depot which is very near the large Nabisco Cheney Flour Mill. There we really learned lots about trains and even got to climb up and walk through the big engine of a train that stopped on the side track. When we returned to our car which was parked just in from of the library on Main Street, along came Dave Harrison, the former Columbia Basin Manager here, who stopped to chat as Ida and I called out his name. He told us that he and Norma enjoy Cheney where his Farmers Insurance office is just beyond the library. After lunch at the Chenhall home where paterfamilias Ray is busily adding a few new rooms, Ida. and I and my three-year-old grandson Thomas walked around in the pine woods and meadows between Spotted Road and Andrus Raod. We collected specimen of about 20 varities of blooming wild flowers in a wide range of colors. We were given a look through a most unusual many-level house a young Spokane Community College photography instructor is building out in the woods. After our walk, the Chenhalls took us into Spokane to see city sights, especially Riverside Park, the site of the 1974 World's Fair which I had so enjoyed attending. We all rode the park train and the children loved riding the large carrousel. We adults enjoyed seeing the interesting shops in the Old Mill on the west bank of the Spokane River. Thousands of people were enjoying the large city-centered park that sunny Saturday and many thousands more would be there on Sunday and on July 4. Son-in law, Ray, kindly let us stop at one Yard Sale which Ida said was not as good as sales here. Then we all laughed when we came to a sign in a nice neighborhood that carried a big arrow and the four -letter word "Junk." After a big evening meal, we four adults and three children really slept well, tired by our day of outside activities. On Sunday morning, after a leisurely family breakfast, we three travelers headed west, stopping in Ritzville again where Ida scooped up some ash and stopping at a rest area rather near MPsesLahfi where the wind was blowing vigorously. I visited with a woman from Wisconsin who was wondering if the ash would get deeper as they were going on west to visit their son in Tacoma. I could reassure her that I understood we were about in the worst of it and that it would fade away as tiiev got closer to Tacoma. She said that all the media in the midwest had repeatedly said no one should plan to travel to the far northwest this summer, but they came anyway. The strong wind was blowing the ash about, imparing visibility so much that it was difficult to read some road signs. We reached the appointed meeting place near Moses Lake just before my son Ross arrived from Puget Sound to share lunch and to load Anita and her gear into his vehicle for her return to Auburn. Ida collected some more ash there before we turned south on Highway 17 where we stopped to rest at Scootenay Park beside a big lake which appealed to water skiers. This was near Warden and Othello. We were soon relieved to be leaving the ash behind us. As we approached the Columbia River on 395 we kept looking for cherries to buy, but found them quite scarce. We brought remnants of Mt. St. Helen's explosion back here on our car and in Ida's sacks. As always, experience is uie greatest teacher, and now we better understand about volcanic ash and better appreciate how fortunate Morrow County folks are that the westerly winds just happened not to carry any of that fine, abrasive stuff this way.

According to a U.S. En vironmental Protection Agen-1 cy news release, the Desert Springs Estates area is the only area in Morrow County that has not been tested. The news release states that neglecting to collect water samples and report the results to the EPA for analysis can be a very serious offense. U.S. District Court Magistrate George Juba levied civil penalties totaling $26,400 against Neskowin Enterprises Inc., the former owner-operator of the community water system in Neskowin, for violating the Safe Drinking Water Act by not sending test results to the EPA. More than 13,000 persons in Oregon are drinking water without knowing whether it meets Federal standards for bacteria and turbidity. A list -of 122 community systems' throughout Oregon, which have either failed to pertorrn tests for water quality or to report the results of those . tests to EPA, has been formed. Concern over failure to analyze the drinking water at the 122 systems was expressed by Donald C. Gipe, coordina tor of EPA's safe drinking water program in Oregon. Gipe said that, in the past year, confirmed outbreaks of water borne disease in various parts of the State have resulted in the illness of approximatley 175 persons. "Contaminated water can make people sick," Gipe declared, "and people are entitled to know what's m the water they drink." "Unless samples are col lected and analyzed, it is impossible for the system's operator and its customers to know whether there are im purities in the water or if turbidity-is interfering with disinfection." According to Gipe, failure of any public water supply system to test for water quality at prescribed inter vals, and to report the results on schedule, is a violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974. Noncompliance with . these requirements makes the water supplier subject to both Federal enforcement action and suits by individual citi zens. Gipe said that eruptions from Mt. St. Helens In Washington may cause temp orary changes in drinking water quality in some affected communities, "but failure to perform tests is an unrelated ongoing problem affecting the health of citizens who expect assurance that their drinking water is routinely pure."
