Around About
By Justine IVeatherford
By now you hnve learned to write liitfl nnd have all yout
new calendars where they remind you what date fit what
date. Although I had absolutely no say in the matter, rpy!
parents managed to time my arrival so that it almost
coincides with the change of the year. My mother noted in the
baby !Kok kIip started on January 2, 1914, that I came early
that morning during one of Detroit, Michigan's snow storms.
Although when I was young and when I taught school I
didn't look with much favor on January 2, because It very
often meant the end of the holiday period, now I am very
pleased to have my personal old year end and new year begin
along with everyone's. As some of my family and friends so
kindly remember my birthday. Just as they recover from
their holidays, several have formed the habit of being sure
that I have a nice, new calendar. This year six friends and
family members gave me lovely calendars-guess they
wanted to be sure I keep straight on days and dates. Having a
calendar Installed In every room, Including the bathroom,
surely should help.
Since January 3, most of the schools of America are off to a
new, mid year, beginning, In lleppner. lone, Hoardman and
Irrigon. public school youngsters are caught up again in
studies and winter-time athletic activities. Oldsters, too, in
increasing numbers are attending classes. CJ.K.D. classes
are held in lleppner at the Neighborhood Center under the
leadership of Joy Krein and Nancy Fishburn. Monday, the
winter term classes of RMCC got off to a new start. A dandy
variety of learning experiences are offered in the commun
ities of this country under coordinator Nancy Brownfield. If
you are Interested in attending classes offered in Boardman,
Irrigon, lone, Lexington or lleppner you can still register
until Thursday, Jan. 13 unless classes are full or limited. You
must register for limited classes by January 7. (See related
story).
As I've Men thinking alMiut the old and new year, along
with others who do a bit of reviewing and w riting at this time,
I feel inclined to put my thoughts on paper. There are
several things I so hope might cease with the passing of l'J82
or before this new year progresses very far. I am feeling
distressed by the difficulties with which some farmers and
ranchers are faced I just visited a farm family that is dear to
me and found them very depressed They have invested in
expensive machinery and irrigation equipment and now they
tell me they fear that they can't afford to irrigate their land
Ix'cause of the extreme cost of electric power.
I have p'ways firmly believed that the land which pro
duces all our crops, including our forests, and provides food
for all animals and humans, Is the base of all the world's
wealth My father, a farm reared man, early indoctrinated
me with a great respect for farmers and ranchers. Now when
I know some of them are suffering and struggling to keep
going, I suffer, too.
We all are most anxious for every aspect of the world's
economy to improve soon Morrow County has been most
fortunate in not suffering as badly as other areas, although
we know our forest industry and our businesses generally are
down considerable, along with agriculture.
Seems I keep thinking and praying that the sjending of tax
funds by our government and by other countries for
increasing military equipment will cease. I can't understand
why the countries of the world can't develop trust and
cooperation, why they must keep on competing and
mistrusting one another. Another matter that disturbs my '
sleep is the increasing number of accounts of the abuse of
children. Surely some year adults will pass the state of
development when they abuse minors and when they also
abuse animals Why can't all abuse case?
Quite a few bright signs shine in our county. Last year saw
many of our youth excelling scholastically and athletically.
We had a good St Patrick's Hay. The County Fair and Rodeo'
went well Some of our county roads are greatly improved.
Ileppner's streets were again brightened with Christmas ,
lights and an especially gorgeous tree. The Artifactory was
so exciting and successful. Many families tended gardens,
harvested wood for their home heating and gave Volunteer -assistance
to the Neighborhood Center and to the hospital.
The library and museum continued to function. I believe
attendance at churches here, like elsewhere, has increased.
President Jim Hayes of the new, non profit lleppner
Economic Development Corporation, recently gave an
excellent review of why and how that group came about and
what it hopes to achieve He made a strong plea for .'
everyone's input, saying that the success of the group will
depend on a real working together effort.
Politically, 1 personally would like to believe that the
election defeats of the female district attorney and the
female county commissioner were not in any way sexually
oriented. It seems to me that both women were well-qualified
and discharged their duties admirably. Their replacements,
selected by the majority of the voters, must also have
brought high qualifications tn the positions they have
assumed; however, they may find Ann Spicer's and Dorothy
Krebs' performances hard acts to follow.
The coming weeks hold several community activities that
should catch the interest of many. Perhaps you have been
alerted to the first annual meeting of the lleppner Economic
Development Corporation on Monday evening, Jan. 10 at the
lleppner Folk's Ixxige. As usual here, several other meetings
will be taking place that evening Don't forget the plays at
lleppner High School on Tuesday,, Jan. 11 and Thursday, Jan.
1.1.
The 1983 First Citizen Banquet is being arranged by the
lleppner-Morrow Chamber of Commerce for Monday even
ing, February 14. That night the announcement will be made
of the man and woman who have been selected as most
worthy of honor for their outstanding, voluntary contribu
tions to fellow citizens of this county during the year Just
completed. The Honors and Awards Committee of the
Chamber, which is chaired by Dr. Wallace Wolff, is eager to
hear recommendations for this honoring from the public. So
think this matter over soon and send along your heart's
choice for first citizenship designations to be announced on
Valentine's Dcy.
Everyone should be delighted with the recent selection of a
great Morrow County Rodeo Court. We hail Queen Lottie
Loughlin, the daughter of Judy and Robert Laughlin or
lleppner; Princess Sylvia Ladd, the daughter of Lorraine
and Elmer Ladd of lone; and Princess Dawn Timms, the
daughter of Sharon and Bryan Timms of Irrigon. It is so
pleasing that each of these young women has had 4
experiences and each is an outstanding horsewoman. Each '
represents a fine area of this county and each attends a
different school : Lottie is at Eastern Oregon State University
in LaGrande; Sylvia attends Blue Mountain Community
College In Pendleton and Dawn is a student at Riverside
High School in Boardman.

There has been some mis
understanding about family
units. One family member's
storv is considered as one
for a total of three family
units.
Some people have reported
having difficulty starting a
story. Foran example: a story
could begin "The family of
came to Morrow
County in. . ." or "This church
was built in .. . " After the first
sentence, a story many times
falls into place bv itself. Also,
