Around About lly Justine Weatherfora The first full week of the new year certainly brought a most pleasant January thaw to our part of the world with temperatures close to 50 decrees, The media constantly repeated stories of horrible floods and of road advisories elsewhere, but we could almost feel some of our trees and shrubs thinking of budding.' ! On Friday last I had to go to Pendleton to redeem my repaired typewriter that somehow collapsed from the pressures of Christmas correspondence or something. Two friends traveled with me over the Pilot Rock highway and back. As we went eastward we were slowed a bit by the movement of cattle. Iater, coming home, we met another small herd and a good-sized herd of cattle moving along the highway. I recall that the first time I experienced driving a car Into the center of a mass of moving beef, I was a bit anxious and thought maybe the animals or the car might suffer. Now I feel like an old hand and just work my way along and trust the ranchers and the animals and my car and enjoy the experience. I admit one gets slowed down considerably for a little while but then living in the Old West is a special experience and should not be rushed through. We reached Pendleton before noon and agreed to go to the Pendleton Senior Center for lunch. We were very pleased with our visit and good meal In the converted old Seventh-day Advenlist School. The Pendleton seniors were most cordial and seemed pleased that we chose to visit. Each of us was Introduced. Several Pendletonians apologized because we had come on a day when they had no noon program no music. They urged us to come again. In several past columns I have written paragraphs about the llajncesh development over Antelope way. If you are interested in reading a complete and interesting story about the big ranh, do get a copy of the Northwest Section of last Sunday's "Oregonian." It presents a very good look at the Hajneesh in the words of Portland free lance writers Larry folton and Kirk Braun and a good group of pictures made by the section's photographer, Handy Rasmussen. The cover age points out that the ranch has become one of Oregon's top tourist attractions. It has certainly had plenty of publicity. Some folks seem to have lots of luck winning doorprizes and raffles. Twice this winter I watched Avon Melby have her name called as a lucky winner. The Washington State lottery, however, has proved to its first million dollar winner, Jana Page, a 30-year-old Walla Walla nurse, that it is not all sheer, good fun She finds taxes and the matter of wisely investing the $M,000 annual payments, adjustments she never had prepared to handle and rather frustrating. Now when I don't win prizes, I must just remember her experience and know that I am not winning any possible frustrations, also. Last October, former Oregon Governor Tom McCall announced "This activist loves Oregon more than he loves life, and I know I can't have both very long." Those of us who have watched a dear one suffer and struggle with terminal cancer, appreciate what he went through as the end he expected neared. Because I am close in age, because 1 have been an Oregonian since infancy, because I have many of the same political persuasions and because I followed Tom McCall'i career on radio, on TV and in the statehouse, I shall miss him very much. To those of us who read his mother, Dorothy Lawson Mr-Call's books, "The Copper King's Daughter" and "The Ranch on the Kimrock," Tom McCall became almost like one of our own family members. We became close to his parent's families and to their own children. Both the writing mother and this son were strong, genuine, original human beings. Governor McCall stated he rode into the governor's office on a typewriter. I heard him tell how he put out a family newspaper in his childhood on the family ranch near PrinevilJe. Me loved to use the English language and was called by reporters "the most quotable public official." During his last several months, television documentaries, radio specials and many interviews about him were being put together. As a Republican governor from 19C7 through 1974. he responded to many problems which faced this state during those eight years. As a TV commentator he kept on speaking out about things political and environmental. His statment telling folks to come visit regon "but for Heaven's sake don't stay" was very widely circulated. I think he did not want this state, which he called "demure and lovely," to become too populated: he did not want it to ever become like California's south. Oregon has lost two very remarkable, very outstanding men. in these first weeks of 1983. Perhaps many of you readers watched the tremendous Mass for Portland's Archbishop Howard on television, as I did. The world's oldest Catholic prelate was so impressively memorialized. Beauti ful tributes were read from admirers of various age groups and various positions, including the Pope, all of whom loved him very much. Governor Atiyeh ordered all state flags to fly at half-staff from the time of McCall's death on Saturday morning, until after the Wednesday evening funeral services for him were completed. Many Oregon ians considered this period a time of personal mourning. We shall long remember our tallest governor. You have probably heard that a tree and a man are both measured most accurately when they are down. Tom McCall measured extra large when he kept fighting and working even after cancer was cutting him down. The lleppner Gazette-Times, Heppner.
