To the Editor: The Oregon Together Group shares with you the following ar ticle by Ms. Anne Meyer, a member of the NFP Advisory, entitled: “ What Shall We Give the Children?” We give them our attention; for one day it will be too late. We give them a sense of value, a place for the individual in the scheme of things, with all that ac crues to the individual: self- reliance, courage, conviction, self-respect and the respect of others. We give them a sense of humor; laughter leavens life. We give them the meaning of discipline; if we falter at discipline, life will do it for us. We give them the will to work: satisfying work is not the lasting Weather Report by City of Heppner Feb. 26 - March 1, 1992 High Tues. 48 Weds. 47 Thurs. 47 46 ??

We give them the passion of truth; bounded on precept and ex ample, truth is the beginning of every good thing; the power and faith engendering mutual trust. We give them the knowledge of being loved; beyond demand for reciprocity, praise or blame, for those so loved are never lost. Parents, teachers, coaches, grandparents and adults in general will find the following good advice to pass on to children. Sincerely, (s) Rev.

Politically Cor rect Buzz Words The new politically correct buzz word is “ biodiversity.” The idea is that all of God's creatures (with one notable exception) have a place on this earth. Each and every bug, bird and blossom have a role to play an essential niche in the overall scheme of things, a par ticular spot in the balance of nature. The proponents of biodiversity claim that the delicate balance of things can be easily tweaked off center by the loss of a single player. In order for the whole forest to survive, every kind of tree, bush, shrub, blade of grass is an essential part. When one comes under attack by its natural enemies, the others rally round and come to the rescue. This is all just a currently popular theory, of course. And it relies heavily on the ultra conservative “ big bang” theory of creation. Bang. There you have the earth, with all its creatures much as we see them today. If we upset that creation, then the whole thing will suddenly go up in smoke. Well, this biodiversity theory is diametrically opposed to the former policially correct theory of evolution. Remember that? Evolution holds that the earth and its creatures are constantly changing. The fittest are sur viving and the weakest are not. That evolution applies not only to selec tion of individuals within a species, but to whole species themselves. Well, that idea is now out the window and everyone who dares write on the sub ject is talking biodiversity. The major difficulty with the new theory is that it entirely omits an essen tial item in the formula. It’s sort of like trying to play basketball without the basketball or like explaining government with mentioning bureaucrats. The missing element is man. How can you seriously consider nature without considering the most influential force in nature. Have we forgot ten that men and women are also animals, parts of the creation, the ultimate (as we now know it) link in the evolutionary chain? Biodiversity assumes a static state of natural affairs without acknowledg ing that man is part of those affairs, naturally that is. Most of the more vocal advocates do acknowledge man but only be decrying man’s impact on the natural status quo. Well, all this leads to the current situation in the forests of Eastern Oregon. For more than a century, man has been harvesting mature trees to build his own nests. Since man is a bit more complex than a song bird, his nests are a bit more complex, but built much the same, by gleaning sticks and stems from the forest. As the forest structure changes, so to do the relatively competitive edges of the creatures in the forest. For many years the tussock moth, spruce budworm and pine beetle have found competitive advantage and from time to time have grown to epidemic levels. Those population levels have threatened to overwhelm huge trees, but man with his superior intellect, discovered the natural compound DDT to bring those epidemic popula tion levels under control and preserve his nest making materials. That control of epidemic population levels of one species by another is not unique to man. Every vineyard hosts a few grape leafhoppers. But when the leafhoppers get to epidemic population levels, a tiny wasp also grows to great numbers and kills the leafhoppers just in time to save the grapes growing in the vineyard. For every natural species control, there are some perhaps of dozens, of other effects. So when man sprayed the tussock moth, a few fell in the rivers and streams and the trout that ate them also died. Not to worry, though, in a few generations the trout were back, the tussock moths were back and the forests were still alive. Enter the biodiversity advocates. They’ve persuaded man to stop spray ing because DDT is a persistent chemical that stays in nature for a long time. To prove that, they point to elevated DDT levels in live, healthy fish. And that's why the forests in Eastern Oregon are dead. Biodiversity has killed an entire forest. And it’s killing all the creatures in the forest, big and small. Soon, the tussock moths will die, and the fish in the stream and the elk in the woods and the song birds that made nests from the twigs they gleaned from the forest that are no more. And who’s in charge? The stupid men and women who think that they, themselves are not part of the natural scheme of things.
