Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hugh— , Chamber Manager
* This week was a fifth Tuesday
for Chamber, which meant no
meeting. 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.

custodian has been chosen to occupy the first-floor apartment. A healthy
check from the Cycle III event arrived. In addition to the pleasure of par
ticipating in that, Halloween kids dropped by our front room to receive
treats and show off their costumes. News arrived that the lone Lions will
be giving a bingo party at our potluck November 11. A gift of several books
(for our coming library) was received in memory of Edith Nichoson, and
Theta Lowe displayed some of the quilters’ work at the Wednesday dinner.
Our volunteer office staff has been increasing the RS VP activities in com
munity service to include folding bulletins for the Extension and making
tapes for the Junior High for use in all departments of their reading pro
gram. Any senior interested in participating in RSVP is invited to come
by the office and sign up.
