Chamber installs 1992 officers
George Koffler (left) installs new Heppner Chamber of Commerce officers Tuesday. LoRayne
Bowman is 1992 chamber president, Steve Dickenson is second vice president, and Rollie
Marshall is first vice president. Bob Kahl is out-going chamber president. Not pictured is Hank
Dennis, treasurer.
Instead of making New Year resolutions that often get broken I’m
resigned to the fact that some things, including by body, can never
be the ‘weigh’ they were.
But I got an early start on New Year planning when a confused
caller got the wrong number in the wee hours on December 31;
however he did wish me a very hearty, though somewhat slurred,
greeting.
First I congratulated myself for another year of hanging in there
and not being hung for messing up the media. But I did get into im
portant tasks like putting up new calendars, oiling a squeaky hinge,
cleaning the dryer lint trap and sharpening pencils with a recently-
discovered brand new pencil sharpener.
These New Year day tasks were inspired by a December 31 col
umn in the Oregonian that suggested things that could be accomplished
while watching bowl games, instead of snacking during commercials.
That list included testing smoke detectors (a sure way to revive a
hang-over), putting new batteries in flashlights and clocks and mak
ing sure kitchen and bathroom equipment worked properly.
But with an ‘if it ain’t broke’ attitude, I didn’t replace a worn toilet
bowl valve or a fizzling sink sprayer hose. After all, after emptying
cupboards, there ought to be a few residuals for the next generation,
right?
It’s easy to get pumped up about such important accomplishments,
especially since major physical tasks, including partying, seem like
too much effort nowadays. But I’m totally committed to no longer
hoarding things. For instance, I trashed the expired food coupons
and cleaned the crud off the can opener.
Sometimes a too-clean state can be detrimental to a faithful old
appliance. For example, the 35-year-old basement refrigerator
resented a good cleaning, I guess. For the first time in a history of
abuse, the disruption of this ice-encrusted condition must have caused
the door handle to drop to the floor.
Surrounded by abundant possessions, we tend to sit in overstuffed
chairs, stuffing our faces. Without leaving home, we have excellent
viewing of a football game or a parade extravaganza.
But there’s something truly out of balance in the scheme of things.
Newspapers tell of the growing need for food to feed the low-income
and homeless people. And I couldn’t help thinking that the thousands
of dollars spent on flowers for the Rose Bowl parade floats would
go a long way towards relieving the discomfort of Texas residents
who have lost everthing due to flooding.
But optimism and hope make us prod forward into each new year.
However with Oregon’s population growing at an alarming rate,
school financing in jeopardy, the loss of jobs and predictions for lower
prices for agricultural commodities, 1992 is going to be another
challenging year. And everyday business is weighted by laws, rules
and regulations unheard of in the past.
The United States can produce the most sophisticated war missies
in the world. But U.S. manufactures allowed the quality of consumer
goods to slip below some produced in other countries. Consumers
have turned to foreign made products, everything from cars to
appliances.
That loss of productivity by workers, who are also those consumers,
resulted in job losses and contributed to the recession and the lop
sided balance of trade. Instead of imposing tariffs, a simple solution
would be to produce quality products. And if workers want higher
wages and benefits they in turn must buy American products.
We seem to think the government should step in and protect us
from our own folly, right down to the mandatory use of seat belts
and other safety features. Let’s hope that the New Year will see a
return to pride in productivity and common sense. We can’t be a
godparent to the whole world until we get our own house in order.
