Water water everywhere—sometimes there’s too much in some places and
not enough where it’s most needed. But presently the area has been blessed
with much-needed moisture.
I also learned that Heppner water is wetter than other well water. Just
ask David Winters. With his waterworks wisdom, he told city council that
city workers have ways of working wonders with wanton water by using
“ water wetter” an additive that keeps water from beading.
There are interesting facts to be learned at city council meetings as elected
officials wrestle with major utility problems impacted by budget cuts. But
it’s good to live where people work to surmount obstacles and where there
is enough water even for swimming pools. And also it’s a place where
residents care enough about summer youth activities to donate over $6 thou
sand for replacing the city pool filter system.
For the most part, it’s business as usual here as several Oregon counties
and other states wrestle with water shortages. But since we have so many
regulatory agencies already involved in water resources, I fail to comprehend
Senator Mark Hatfield’s thinking when he says, “ It’s time for Con
gress to examine the need to implement a national water policy which will
provide the balance necessary to wisely manage what is our most impor
tant resource.”
I, for one, am a little leery of Hatfield’s proposals after he backed the
endangered species act which will continue to have repercussions for
everyone.
What we do need is Hatfield’s influence to get the U S. Corps of Engineers
moving towards building a recreational vehicle park at the Willow Creek
Dam lakeside.
The Willow Creek Park District board pounds heads against walls trying
to make progress with that project while the bureaucratic wheels, supported
by tax dollars, grind very slowly. And other volunteer boards such as the
Morrow County Tourism Committee strive at helping to promote local
attractions.
It makes sense that travelers will use the scenic by-way and that they will
stop over wherever they can find campgrounds. Even if they travel with
self-contained travel trailers, the purchase of gasoline could help keep our
local service stations in business.
Individually the average citizen doesn’t have much clout, but we need
to take a page from organized environmentalists' tactics. Numbers do count.
And there should be a massive local letter-writing campaign to both Hat
field and other representatives as well as the Corps.
There was a lot of energy used in opposition to the dam being built. But
now that it is a permanent fixture, that same type of energy could help
capitalize on use of this water resource.
