Holly Rebekah Lodge meets By Delpha Jones Holly Rebekah Lodge met for their regular meeting Thursday evening with the NG Geri Mar tin in charge. Further plans con cerning the picnic and fishing derby Sat. July 16 were discuss ed. A picnic will be held during the day with plenty of time for visiting. The fishing derby will start at 4 p.m. and should last un til 7 p.m. Prizes will be given to both men and women. The Oddfellows will be spon soring a benefit at the hall July 9. Profits will go toward the upkeep and repairs of the building. September 24 was set by the Rebekah's for a rummage sale at the hall. All members are asked to keep this in mind and have ar ticles for this sale. The ladies are working toward monies to rewire the dining room of the building. In August there will be a group of about 250 bicyclists in Lex ington. They will have breakfast August 15 on the street adjoining the hall. The breakfast sponsored by the Rebekahs will be cooked by the cooks from R.J’s Steak House. The group will arrive in Lexington Aug. 14 and camp at the school grounds. Carl and Geri Martin will be present to greet the group and assist them in getting settled. This was the last meeting the of two lodges. The next meeting will be the first Thursday in September. Luella Taylor received an ap pointment certificate appointing her district deputy president of McNary District which includes Umatilla and Morrow counties. Geri Martin and Delpha Jones were resented certificates for their work as 1993 state community service co-chairmen. Northwest concerns are in the daily news as we hope for fair treat ment in this democracy highlighted by Flag Day, June 14, the an niversary of the day in 1777 when the U.S. Flag was adopted. Headlines read: “ Forest Service to push timber sales” which wjll probably be held up by appeals; “ Additional water released from Columbia and Snake River dams causes gas-bubble disease for migrating fish and impacts the production of hydro-electric power” ; “ Public land grazing reform policies not backed up by hard science” . Fighting for this way of life that provides an abundance of cheap food and fiber has become the norm. Now even the smallest frog pond on private property must have a water right in case it impacts public use. No matter that said water storage builds underground water tables and does not hold back water that contributes to stream flows. Perhaps the reasons for such irrational decisions lies with the lifestyles of policy makers. A recent study failed to link relationship between electrical magnetic fields (EMF) and cancer. But the research failed to show correlation of EMF and brain damage. We are all subject to EMF which exists everywhere electricity flows. Policy makers need to spend more time in the fields to gain a true perspective. Perhaps that action might restore normal brain functions as opposed to sitting behind a computer that measure 2 mG’s or less at arm’s length. That study also says that EMF levels are higher at a computers side and back, so non-users and on-lookers need to get out of the office and inhale some fresh air. This could be the reason I’m more productive outside rather than in the house. A home may contain certain hot spots due to higher magnetic fields, which provides me with a good excuse for not operating the vacuum cleaner. Remember when it was said that the Alaskan pipeline would disrupt wildlife reproduction? Beware of that electric blanket that exposes an overnight user to fields of 20 mG’s or more. And eliminate those electric alarm clocks with a median level of 14.3 mG’s at arm’s length. Should you have forgotten how to wind a clock, what better excuse for being late to work. Manufacturers insist that cellular phones are safe, but research has yet to prove or disapprove that fact. Radio waves in a portable cellular phone are emitted near the user’s head. In case of a fender bender, you can now blame EMF rather than the distraction of talking on a phone. Somehow we managed to communicate before this distrac tion jangled driving nerves. Give up a microwave oven? No way. I wouldn’t know how to cook a meal anymore. However the Electric Power Research Institute found that at about two feet in distance, microwave ovens produce a field of 10 mG’s or more. So what’s best for the environment and your health, eliminating wood smoke, saving electricity or frying your brains as you ‘nuke’ food? If you believe everything printed, everything that we touch, eat or inhale is destructive. Using non-inspected meat, un-tested drink ing water and veggies grown in soil enriched animal waste, this family should have perished long ago. If we prove to be an exception to all those life-saving regulations, perhaps we’ll live to see the rever sal of some decisions that are adversely impacting our economy.
