It crept up on all of us, as many had pertinent issues to discuss including stands on ballot measures, some measures are bad news for Oregon’s economy. Please visit with people, keep your ears open, and be aware that your vote does count. Our business meeting will be election day, November 6. * Ken Turner has good news to share with Chamber. Hatfield call ed him with the information that fun ding for the Willow Creek Lake recreation area has finally gone through. Now it’s up to us to pass our local related measure. * Cycle Oregon III funds arrived at long last and have been distributed, we hope to the satisfac tion of all concerned. A percentage was taken off the top for: expenses, donations to some organizations in volved in ways other than food ser vice; and for partial funding for Christmas decoration refurbishment. The remainder was disbursed to the 17 organizations who cooked, set up, served, and cleaned up for din ner and breakfast. These funds will all go back into our area in the form of scholarships, improvements, pro jects, helping others...that will be up to the non-profit groups involved. Again, the best part of the entire community endeavor was the pride and the upbeat spirit of having ac complished this together. “ What we believe, we can a c h ie v e .” Numerous people at the Ashland conference last week said they had heard “ Heppner was the best.” We think so. * See you Tuesday at chamber. Board meeting will be held at the Elks at 11 a.m. prior to lunch. Thought for the week: “ The measure of your real character is what you’d do if you knew you’d never be found out.” Last week’s Homecoming court picture caption incorrectly listed Kim Johnston and Greg Greenup. Following is a correct listing of the 1990 Homecoming court and their fathers. Water leaks mean $ down the drain A faucet that leaks one drop per second wastes 2,400 gallons per year, enough water to run 160 full cycles on an automatic dishwasher, so it’s important to check and replace faulty washers. Careful use of appliances and other water-related equipment can also put more money in your pocket, according to Carol Bennett, Morrow County Extension home economist. Other economy measures include washing only full loads-unless your equipment has water level controls- -and buying a wash with a built-in suds return. Running your dishwasher only when it’s full and letting your dishes air-dry will conserve both water and electricity. If you wash dishes by hand, use a dishpan, put dishes in a rack and rinse them all at once. Watering your lawn and washing your car can account for as much as 50 percent of your warm weather water use, according to water con servation authorities. To cut lawn watering usage, water n early morning with a low spray ing sprinkler to decrease evaporation losses, and mulch around trees and shrubs to hold moisture longer. Use a bucket of soapy water to wash your car and rinse it with a hose that has a shut-off nozzle.
