Is it due to hormones, a pnmal desire to stake out their own domain or Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughe«, Chamber Manager Time and again we team that the real secret to success in all areas of our lives is simply com m unication, honest communication, and eye to eye communication. The same principle applies to the Main Street Project, which is why every Monday at 11 a.m., the Chamber invites all interested persons to Yaws to communicate with A1 Frye, project manager and ODOT. The Chamber appreciates the willingness of people to settle differences as they occur. It can mean more rapid progress of our Main Street renovation. Pats on the back go to the city, Weaver Construction, the businesses, ODOT, the contractors and subcontractors for working to keep the lines of communication open and moving forward with crucial decisions. Bill Kuhn's office has been helpful in putting out a weekly Chamber Main Street bulletin after each meeting. The recently-organized Chamber Hard Hat Ambassadors take to the streets handing out the bulletins along with a chocolate kiss. They are easy to recognize in their orange hard hats on loan from Columbia Basin. Any other "hard hat enthusiasts" are welcome to join the fun. Events in the future are planned to keep spirits high. For all the patient folks waiting in line for flaggers, they send this message: "IF YOU WILL PLEASE SIGNAL, THEY CAN MOVE YOU FORWARD AT A MORE RAPID PACE". (Could that mean that those of us driving Morrow County roads forget to signal?) Next week the Morrow County Fair & Rodeo Court will be guests at the Chamber luncheon. "Boots, Jeans, and Cowboy Dreams", our 1997 Morrow County Fair and Rodeo is not far away. New ideas for the parade, participants, and route will be cheerfully accepted at this office. Thought for the week: "The shortest distance between two points is currently under construction." v J a natural and predictable process o f growth? To what extent do parents encourage or discourage the storm and stress of adolescence? "Reaching the Heart of Your Teen", an eight-week video series, looks at the many factors that make living with a teenager "a blessing or a cursing". "It offers hope to families challenged by the pressure of living with an adolescent, and offers practical steps to rebuild and maintain family harmony and love that will last a lifetime," said a Christian Life Center news release. The video series, produced by Gary and Anne Mane Ezzo, will be shown at the Chnstian Life Center on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. beginning July 3. Children ages 10 and older are invited to attend with their parents. The fee for the course is $15 per family which covers the cost of a workbook. To register, call the church at 676-5581.
