Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
Heppner
A Wee Bit O ’lreland has crept
into our lives in the middle of
summer. We have a wee mystery
on our hands. It seems that one
of our St. Patrick’s leprechauns
holding the welcome sign has
taken a vacation. He must not
have liked being stored for a year
at a time with all the other wee
folks. If he reads this, however,
we want him to know that we are
very happy to know that he is still
alive and well. It was feared by
the leprechaun transportation
committee that he might not be
seen again. Today he sent a note,
mailed in Boise, on a Tualatin
Oregon note pad stating “ Am
having a wonderful time. Met a
cute little country dogger. See
you in the late future.” Now I
understand the strange message
on my answering machine a few
months ago, which sounded like
an Irish visitor wanted me to
locate a country dogger that ap
pealed to him. The mystery con
tinues. Are there any Irish detec
tives expert at locating
leprechauns? If so, drop by the
office for clues. (Thank goodness
for a good sense of humor and
fun in our busy lives!)
Have you visited Morrow
County’s newest “ old” store?
What a treat to have a rest stop
in Cecil complete with gifts, an
tiques, and an opportunity to take
a step back in time at an actual
stage stop. Hours are 9 to 5,
seven days a week.
If you haven’t heard, pass the
word, Joe Yocom needs to locate
a mule, within the next 10 days,
to replace the one gone lame, or
he will not be able to continue on
his Oregon Trail journey. Please
give his family a call. Morrow
County wants to hear tales of the
entire trip after he arrives in
Oregon City.
The Chamber office is now
moved into the GEODC building
across the street. There are only
a few boxes left to be sorted and
unpacked and the brochures are
on the display rack. Remember,
if you are planning a trip we have
phone numbers of Chamber of
fices across the United States and
many brochures for Oregon.
Drop in to say “ hello” on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Next week: Chamber board
and business meeting. We
welcome new members.
Thought for the week: “ A
human beings’ first responsibili
ty is to shake hands with
him self ’...H. Winkler

Letters to the Editor
Happy birthday America
To the Editor:
Old Glory, USA. labels of a
great land and a great people.
Happy Birthday America. “ My
County TisofT hee, Sweet Land
of Liberty” . One hundred fifty
years ago commenced one of the
greatest migrations of human
kind. People sacrificing to carve
one of the greatest regions of the
world into a place of great pro
ductivity, Oregon.
As the century rapidly revolves
into the next and a new millenium
begins, there is much to look for
ward to. In looking forward it is
also a very good time to look
back in retrospect.
Perhaps simplicity, respect for
self as well as others, fiindamen-
tals that have effectively shaped
a culture are still valid in creating
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, are still valid keys to
a greatness o f a country.
Remember the lady standing in
New York harbor? Holding her
torch and holding a book? Should
we forget why this symbol exists.
I should hope not for futures sake
and our sake.
I am proud to be American and
to be privileged in living in
Oregon and Heppner. American
people live here, their legacy is
strength, their spirit giving and
caring.
We are the people of Oregon
and America.

The Dalles invites Oregon Trail visitors
To the Editor:
Many com m unities, from
Missouri to Oregon, are par
ticipating in the 150th anniversary
of the Oregon Trail. The educa
tional benefits of this celebration
are of the utmost importance to
the youth of our communities,
after all, they are growing up
where history was made. Those
early pioneers are gone, taking
with them the first hand accounts
of one of the most renowned
journeys in the history of the
United States of America.
These stories come to life at the
Oregon Trail “ Living History
Exhibit” at Crates Point in The
Dalles. After viewing interpretive
panels and listening to actors who
portray pioneers, businessmen
and scoundrels of the 1840’s,
guests can decide if they want to
take the Columbia River route or
stay on land and travel the Barlow
Road to the Willamette Valley.
Early craft demonstrations, oxen,
covered wagons, cabins and an
indian log house are just part of
this spectacular exhibit.
I would like to invite everyone
to refresh their memory of
Oregon Trail history by visiting
this exposition before its conclu
sion on September 26. For
specific information call The
Dalles Convention and Visitor’s
Bureau at 1-800-255-3385. We're
looking forward to sharing the
past with you.
