The Nifty N eedlers met
Wednesday, July 8. Brooke
Boyer and Julie Watkins have
been working on flared skirts.
Stephanie Clough, Macy Rhea
and Allison Sykes have been
making dirndl skirts and Kristi
Worden is making a pair of bibs.
The next meeting was Friday,
July 24. Members were to finish
fair projects.
Important
Differences
Later this week, right after press
time for both Morrow County papers,
the Governor will announce the
Regional Strategies projects she has
selected for funding in the
Umatilla/Morrow County Region.
Next week you will read about those
projects, but you can be assured that
most of them will be Morrow Coun
ty projects.
Two factors will account for that.
First, in this round of funding, the
biggest, the best and the most projects
were submitted by Morrow County
developers. That does not come by
accident. Most of those projects were encouraged by the Port of Mor
row and the general development attitude of Morrow County. While
that attitude is not shared by all, most folks would like to see a little
growth and development, especially in the value added agriculture in
dustries. Jobs, tax base and better markets for farm produce give the
industry a triple whammy in boosting the local economy.
When there is a growth and development attitude among the local
folks, developers consider that a real plus. There are so many areas
of the country that are no-growth minded that building a new plant
of any kind, even for the big boys, can be a problem. But not in Mor
row County.
The other factor that contributed to the heavy Morrow County mix
is the powerful representation Morrow County has on the Regional
Strategies Committee. The committee is composed of six members from
each county, so we have what might be called an equal position for
a change.
I was proud to serve with the likes of Gary Neal, Frank Pearson,
Dan Hernandez, Joe McElligott and Meg Murray. What with all the
differences there might be between us, none of them ever surfaced in
the work of the committee. These six very different people from every
comer of the county pulled as one for the benefit of us all.
Regional Strategies is not the only place Morrow County folks pull
together. Time and again, folks who differ greatly on local issues are
found shoulder to shoulder on county-wide issues. Many times I have
heard one Morrow County resident defend another in Salem or Portland
or Pendleton, when at home they are seemingly arch enemies.
I won’t be so brash as to say this is unique to Morrow County. But
it is a trait not shared by many. Maybe in our list of differences, we
only scratched the surface and found nothing of very great significance.
It may be that growing irrigated potatoes in the north is very different
from growing dry land wheat in the south, but that difference is not
very meaningful, not important at all.
Now wouldn’t that be something. To discover that for all our out
ward appearing differences, when it comes to the important things,
we’re not that different at all?
Maybe, if we intend to write about the important issues of the day,
we would find that the differences between us wouldn’t even be on
the list. As a friend said, “ that’s new thinking, it might take years.”
Perhaps if we try this new thinking, it won’t take all that many years
at all.
