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.

350 wonder about water
About 350 people living in
the Desert Springs Estates
mobile home park a few miles
west of Boardman and just out
of the city limits do not know if
their drinking water meets
" Federal standards for bacter
ia. 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."
