Correction A story in the Nov. 2 Hepp ner Gazette-Times incorrectly stated Muriel Palmer's maiden name as Peterson. Her maiden name was Patterson. Obituaries that many communities who once had this have seen a 50 percent decline, and the results have been disastrous. More women are working, out of necessity, it's easier to write a check and be physically invisi ble, socialability has declined, it's simpler to say "n o " and watch your favorite T. V. show. Consequently trust declines, neighbors know each other less, and the overall health of a community is at stake. Put nam's point was that we all need to be physically engaged in our communities, as not on ly is it good for the communi ty, it is good for our individual health. So, take heed. Are we slacking off or are we still on a roll? I think we're on a roll and that roll will continue if we build people connections and bring in new blood with new ideas and leadership. Large cities are creating villages and houses with por ches to try to create lost social capital. "Hats off to Heppner" if you use it, you don't lose it. Thought for the week: "O ne good thing about putting your foot in your mouth, at least you don't step on anyone's toes". Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hugh— . Chamber M w g r Audrey A.

Sweeney Mortuary, Hepp ner, was in charge of arrangements. Have you heard the term "social capital"? This seems to be the new buzz word for com munities and cities. According to Robert Putnam, author of two books, various articles, and keynote speaker at the past Rural Futures Forum Con ference, it is imperative that communities have "social capital". Without it, their entire economic future is at stake. So what is this thing that healthy towns need? We've got it. It is simply social organizations that facilitate coordination, trust, and cooperation for mutual benefit. It's civic engagement in public affairs, it's people work ing together toward like goals...the pool, the RV park, the ag museum, the rodeo grounds, churches, chamber of commerce etc. It's the ranchers that share work loads, it's Main street businesses promoting each other, it's the parents club, and the list goes on and on.
