Chamber Chatter
Why Are
Resources ?
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.
