By Claudia Hugh— , Chamber Manager As I drove to work this morn ing, the sun broke through the grey sky bouncing off the snow covered hills. What a contrast to the verse on my calendar which asked “ Do you ever feel you’re going through life in the fast lane and can’t find the off ramp?” Many of us do often feel that way as we become so involved in our small town’s well-being, our families, our own livelihood, and the myriad of other activities. Sometimes it’s much harder on those who are in small-populated areas; but aren’t we lucky that we don’t have that freeway traffic each day in addition to the hustle and bustle of our lives. We have space in Morrow County to clear our minds. 1992 will bring on increased problems for rural communities, for the most part financial. When times get tough, people seem to start losing their positive outlook and rightly so, but let’s rise above it. Let’s have a resolution to be more understanding of others, to look at all sides of the picture, to listen more than we talk (a tough one for me) and to keep our sense of humor. Together we can make a difference and somehow get through Measure 5 and all that goes with it. Keep in mind our just past Town & Country theme...” Consumers, Retailers and Producers W orking Together.” Let’s make it our 1992 resolution. Thought for the week: “ The past cannot be changed; the future is still in our power.” Much has been directed to natural resources in recent months. The Spot ted Owl has drawn attention to forests, the Snake River Sockeye to water, and the fear of arsenic to gold. This awareness has drawn me to wonder why we call these things resources in the first place. We all know a little bit about the natural food chain. Some animals eat plants, others eat those animals, when those animals die, they support the plants that the first group of animals eat, and so goes the cycle. Scientists have identified long and complex food chains that provide a curious source of amazement for us non-scientists. To a lesser extent, there is also a housing chain, with some kinds of organisms that can only live within a host organism. Certain disease germs, for example, can only live in the human body, and perish within minutes or hours outside the human body. Certain toadstools grow only in the rot ting wood of certain species of trees. You might say that a silk worm, who lives exclusively on the leaves of a mulberry bush regards that mulberry bush as a food resource. And you might say that a heel fly regards a cow’s body as a housing resource. Man (and woman), are a bit more versatile than other animals with the adaptability to live ina variety of conditions and a constitution that takes nourishment from a wide variety of food sources. Man seems to consider resources to mean anything that makes life possible, easier or convenient. Take timber, for example. Timber, especially the boards, houses, fur niture and nic-nacs made from it, is not essential {o man’s life cycle. Those things do make it more convenient. Water for irrigation, food processing and bathing is not essential. But it does make life easier. That’s what we call resources. Coal and oil, natural gas and timber, water and air, sunshine. Each of these things make our life better than it would be without them. There will always be decisions about how to use them. Use them all now or save some for later? Use them for this purpose or that one? Use them in great quantity or lesser? However we make those decisions, we will still see man as part of the environment and as an active player in the decisions about the resource chain of this planet earth. As an active player, it is absurd to treat plant and animal species as a distinct entity separate and apart from man's in volvement in the big scheme of things. That is the flaw of the Endgangered Species Act. The Act assumes that when a species is endangered with extinction, the nation must do all that is scientifically possible to not only preserve the species, but to allow it to recover to a condition that further protection is no longer needed. While that endeavor sounds noble all right, it ignores the reality of man’s presence, and his desire to propagate his own species. The Endangered Species Act makes a choice about resources that few of us would agree in actual application. Perhaps the preservationist forces, heaving fanned out across the nation and identified hundreds of endangered species, have done us all a favor. Perhaps there is so much attention focused on the cost of complying with the Act as it is now written that a much needed amendment will have a chance in Congress. Resources can only be considered such as long as we find them useful to maintaining life. When they become a millstone by the dictates of ill- advised legislation, we must find a new name for these Non-Resources. 4-H News Kitchen Krew Meeting By Lori Moeller and Mindy Qualls, Reporters At the first meeting of the Kit chen Krew Mindy Qualls and Lori Moeller cooked “ Healthy Beef Runzas.” Members met Saturday, Jan. 3 at the home of Chloe Pearson Members selected the club name and learn ed a lot of new things.
