Town and Country will be
history as you read this. Con
gratulations to the very deserving
recipients of the annual Chamber
of Commerce awards. Many
nominations were submitted this
year. It’s great that others are
noticing our terrific volunteers. It
is suggested that the recipients
and other nominees will be resub
mitted to the Trail Blazers Com
munity Super-Stars. Nomination
forms are available at the
Chamber office and are due in
Portland by February 26. Flash:
As yet, we have no concrete data
on where the chamber will be
holding their weekly meetings.
Until this problem is resolved,
please check the door of the Elks
for "your road map to lunch”
each Wednesday. Recognition
will be given to the students sub
mitting the design for the outstan
ding business award board honor
ing businesses at the January 20
meeting. Ralph Reed will also ex
plain the plan for school board
member redistricting. On January
27, Chamber will lunch at the
H eppner
High
School
Cafetorium, where they will be
given the opportunity to see the
debate team in action.
Two months until Heppner’s
St. Patrick’s celebration. Plans
are underway and it is hoped that
all participants in the pageant will
be on board and ready to go with
a repeat performance. The com
mittee hopes it will become a
tradition. Next meeting of the St.
Patrick's Committee will be
Tuesday, January 19, 7 p.m. at
the Columbia Basin Conference
Room. New people wishing to
become involved are most
welcome.
Thought for the week: "May
all your troubles last as long as
your New Year's Resolutions."

Too Little
Too Much
Sometimes writing this column is
pretty hard. Most of the time there
is a topic, of sorts. Coming up with
a topic every week is pretty hard
sometimes. If there’s just nothing in
your head to write about, no matter
what kind of suggestions you get from
the family or well-wishers, there’s
just nothing to write about.
So you go up and down the list. No
luck. Nothing jumps out and says
“ Write about me.” I’ve read that
some writers call it "writers block” .
By Ed Glenn
I don’t think so. But then if I were
in a mood to think about anything,
then I’d have something to write about. Maybe it’s “ thinker’s block"
that keeps the ideas from flowing.
Well, sometimes it’s like that, there just isn’t anything to write about.
And then there’s times like this when there’s too much to write about
is just as bad. Since there’s so much space to fill up, and only so much,
having too much to write about is just like not having enough.
You see, I keep a little notebook marked “ As I See It" In it I jot
down topics and ideas and thoughts that might make a whole column
of words all in a row. Sometimes I don’t write much. And then there’s
times like this when I’ve scribbled several pages. So many, that there’s
just no way I’ll get to write about all of it. What’s worse, I can’t decide
just what is most important. Or what is most timely. Or the most
significant.
First of all, 1 guess, there’s the weather. Usually the weather is pretty
non-descript and pretty dull. But the past couple of weeks the weather
has been on everyones lips. And front door steps, and all over the
sidewalk. I think, if I could devote a whole column to the weather,
I could wax eloquently about the beauty of just one fluffy snowflake.
Especially the one I saw in the sunshine. No, really, I did. It was snow
ing and sunshining all at the same time just last Friday. What a sight,
wish I could tell you about it the way it really was.
Or instead, there’s a little politics in the school district zoning ac
tion. If you don’t like snow flakes in the sunshine, you're sure to like
the new school zones. Especially, you’ll like who voted for them and
who voted against them and why. Now there’s a subject to really rankle
the readers. A full column of school board politics should increase the
blood pressure of at least half the populace by about 10 points.
But now you see, I don’t have time to do the job justice.
Because there’s another item in the note book: "ignorance and
superstition” . Now that must refer in some way to the medical waste
incinerator. There must really be a lot of people who have never had
anything to do with the DEQ. Everyone who has will tell you that every
rule, regulation and standard that DEQ ever adopted is more restric
tive than it has to be by a factor of 10 or so.
To them, if anybody ever argued that a DEQ standard was too le
nient. they’d say it was ignorance and superstition, plain and simple.
But there isn’t room to fully develop that idea because here again
is Columbia Blvd. Somehow the powers that be cannot fathom that
they’ve ignored a road in this county so long that it might raise up
and haunt them without warning. Just two miles long, this little piece
of county road serves some pretty substantial taxpayers. And it serves
them well, with more traffic, worth more money than all the rest of
the roads in the county combined. Is there a few bucks to fix it up?
Nope. We plan to fix up the road out there in the wheat land. Don't
ask how many wheat trucks use that road, just ask whos.
As I see it, there’s just too much to write about so I'll wait for a
more quiet. Maybe I’ll go fishing.
