Appreciates Christmas donations
Monday night’s Meppner Economic Develop
ment Corporation (HEDC) meeting was not a
particularly “fun” evening as banquets go, and
to the HEDC’s credit, it was not intended to be.
Some very sobering thoughts about our area
and community were raised at the meeting, and
the HEDC didn’t pull any punches while
presenting them, opting instead to lay out in
black and white what ails us.
From the problems at the hospital to the
possible loss of other services, HEDC members
discussed not how to solve these difficulties, but
rather which were most important, thus giving
the HEDC board of directors objectives to guide
them in the coming year.
With all the seeming bad news coming out
during the meeting, one note of optimism was the
HEDC’s attempting to tackle these problems
before many of them get out of hand, and become
irrevocable.
Hut what can the HEDC, or for that matter the
Chamber of Commerce, lone Agri Business
group or any other organization concerned about
its community do to stem the deteriorating
economic situation in any given community?
After all, many times these groups are seen as
self serving with “special interests”.
We all have special interests, and what needs
to be realized by everyone in our community is
that these interests are intertwined and inter
dependent. What of the person on the street who
says he doesn’t need the hospital and could care
less if it is operating; after all his doctor is out of
town and if he does need hospitalization he would
go somewhere else. What of the person who says
he could care less if a business goes under,
because "they never shopped there anyway.”
Whether you live in a community, send your
children to school in a community, go to church
in a community or socialize in a community, you
have a stake in that community.
The business life of a town cannot be dissected
mit with the social amenities expected to remain
intact; likewise our social activities cannot be
ignored and business expected to remain heal
thy.
The townsperson, farmer, laborer and bus
inessman all have common interdependant
interests, and when these interests are identified
and dolt with as a whole, then may we all benefit.
The editor of the Meppner Gazette
Times received a disturbing letter
last Friday with an Italian postmark
and postage stamps Apparently the
letter, signed "Suzanne," is from a
young pregnant woman whose boy
friend has left her
Since no name appears on the
letter, the Gazette Times cannot
print it as a letter to the editor The
purp**»e of her letter, however, is
"to say good bye to all my friends in
Meppner "
To the editor
I would like to state my opposition
to the incinerator to burn PCB
contaminated oil being considered
at the Chem Security dump near
Arlington
The manager of this
dump objects to having it called this
but that »exactly wbal it is a dump
This burner would run constantly.
24 hours a day. MS days a year
Once it is established what ’s to keep
(he government from sending other
kinds of tone waste to the same
dump’
Mater from the burner's smoke
stack scrubbers is to be disposed of
in special pits on the sitr Mow long
before this water seeps down into
our groundwater and eventually into
the Columbia River*
What happens to the emmissions
from this burner when we get a
weather inversion over us such as
we have had since the first of
January* This w ill affect most of
the state It just depends which way
the wind happens to he blowing
