SIX- Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 16, 1992 Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager Since attending the Rural Futures Forum last month in Bums with Rollie Marshall, Bob Jepsen and 28 others from rural communities similar to Heppner, I’ve been doing a good deal of thinking about people, our dif ferences, likenesses, how we communicate, relate to others, what frustrates us and why. Con sequently, an article passed across my desk which I’d like to share during this Christmas season and year round. Attitude - by Charles Sw indoll ' The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more im portant than facts. It is more im portant than the past, than educa tion, than money, than cir cumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other peo ple think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regar ding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past, we cannot change the fact that people will act in a cer tain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 per cent how I react to it. And so it is with you, we are in charge of our attitudes. Now, the hard part, improving our attitude. New Year's resolu tion time is just around the cor ner, let’s go for it. Sparkling Christmas lights are twinkling everywhere, remember to have them turned on for the Heppner Chamber of Commerce lighting contest. Judges will be checking them out between Dec. 17 and 20. The chamber ap preciates the beautiful tree for Main Street donated by Margot Dubuque. Looking ahead: Dec. 23, Chamber business meeting; Dec. 30, no chamber, fifth Wednes day; January 6, 1993-installation of officers during Chamber lun cheon; Jan. 13-annual Town and Country day, luncheon buffet with speakers from the Sagebrush Coalition. Town and Country theme is "Rural Folks Working Together". Take time to enjoy the Advent season in preparation for celebrating the 12 days of Christmas. Cranberries an American tradition "Cranberries are an American tradition," says Carol Michael- Bennett, OSU extension home economist in Morrow County. Long before the pilgrims, Indians were crushing these bright red berries with dried deer meat and melted fat to make pemmican. Oregon’s cranberry production ranks fourth in the nation behind Massachusetts, Wisconsin and New Jersey. These brightly col ored berries thrive in the long, cool growing seasons of coastal Oregon. Oregon's crop currently goes to processors who make products such as juice and sauce. The fresh cranberries available in supermarkets during the holi day season come from out of state (especially Washington and Massachusetts). Look for plump, firm berries that are bright and shiny when you buy them. For best quality, use refrigerated cranberries within a month. For longer storage, you can freeze them right in the bag or in the freezer container. When ready to use, wash and sort out soft berries and stems. Cranberries are low in calories (50 calories per cup) and a source of vitamin C, says Carolyn Raab. OSU extension foods and nutri tion specialist. This versatile fruit can be us ed in pies, muffins, puddings and quick breads. For example, com bine cranberries with chopped fresh or dried sweet fruits (ap ples, apricots) for pie fillings. Or chop lightly sweetened berries (U cup sugar to one cup cranberries) to your favorite muffin recipe.
