But as the month of Septenber unfolds, there are mixed emotions. Some folks can gloat about a summer of accomplishments, while others like myself are still wrestling with spring chores. My conscience knows how long it's been since a back window was washed. At this time of year the essence of a dung compost pile prevails at ranch corrals after cattle are brought home from summer pasture and worked. As to the work part, it's the die-hards that get stomped, kicked and bruised as cattle are put through the chute for health measures. It didn't help that I caught a head cold prior to riding 'drag' for that homeward cattle. Anyway it's an innovative way to transport topsoil riding behind a herd of cows and calves. The end result of this cow boogie is the loud bovine music after calves are weaned. As a diversion during slack moments, my wandering mind sifts through current affairs. Seems like major accomplishments receive little press compared to disastrous events. But on the local scene there are some positive results such as the new swimming pool, ball fields and the Main street renovation. During construction, the latter has honed one's agility to gain access to stores. Merchants have had front row seats as sidewalk superintendents. Others try to avoid unnecessary trips downtown. They perhaps spend more time on things such as reading. One could spend considerable time reading the lengthy sheriff s report in our local newspaper. Vehicle accidents and unlawful activities are a serious matter but law enforcement officers must encounter some humorous moments. The number of stray animals reported could keep a mounted posse in hot pursuit. But picture an officer trying to herd a reluctant pig into captivity. Highlighting the humorous incidents was the report of two people toilet papering a house. Perhaps this was a wedding shivaree but it beats spray painting anyway. It's difficult to imagine what was taking place when two vehicles were reported as "playing cat and mouse". Then there's the report that neighbors were "hauling in stuff and burying something". Was it the loot from a bank hoist, their garbage or just road kill? If anyone needs to let off steam by screaming, it's best to choose a place out of earshot of others or this too ends up in police reports. Then there is a report of loud music in Boardman that turned out to be a church party. Did all those lusty voices air one too many hallelujahs ? Be cautious about parking your vehicle to admire someone else's property or that too can become a suspicious activity. And don't ask for a handout or a donation at a residence unless your reputation is snow-white. We have empathy for owners who reported a fence unnecessarily tom down. A logging truck wiped out a fence on Hinton Creek. Then instead of opening a nearby gate, the driver drove through another section of fence to gain highway access without so much as a "so sorry" or leaving an identity, I guess we are fortunate that no livestock were involved. And since it seems that the police are expected to solve all matters, I'd like to report a missing glove. The perpetrator appears to be one m ale-a black and white Border Collie pup.

The Oregon East Symphony has entered into its fall ticket sales campaign that runs from Sept. 17-24. Ticket sellers are seeking new symphony ticket purchasers by telephone and personal contact. Renewal ticket purchasers were contacted last spring. The ticket sales campaign uses the theme of "A Season Beyond Words", the 1997-98 season title. The seven season concerts by the symphony and chorale are subtitled to describe the music of masters such as Mozart, Haydn and others. CHAMBER MAIN STREET NEWS WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 15 brought to you by The Heppner Chamber of Commerce (541) 676-5536 MAIN STREET WEEKLY REPORT -MAIN STREET MEETING is the place to be every Monday at 11 a.m. at Yaws, with questions for ODOT or Weaver Construction. A lively discussion on the Main Street project gives you direct answers to your concerns rather than relying on "mouth to mouth" along the street. Brent Reynolds reports that they are pushing to complete paving this season. Date specs have been changed to temperature specs and weather is a big factor. -LAVAR BOWLES, Weaver Construction, has stepped in for A1 Frye. Come meet him at the weekly Main Street meeting or check with him where previously A1 has addressed your issues. -JIGSAW PUZZLE (as Judge Carlson calls it) seems to be coming together with the next two weeks to include: eastside curb, driveway entrances, asphalt when the curb is finished; intersection work Tuesday (awaiting core test results); paving the base on the eastside and the final lift, allowing the bulb completion. Traffic will then transfer to the middle with the final paving to follow the bulbs on the westside, around October 15. - HUNTING SEASON as Cliff Green pointed out to ODOT and Weaver, means that "the minute the 82nd street light is green in Portland, the hunters will be lining out on Main Street Heppner." Traffic should be moved to the center lane by October 1; however, there will still be no parking on either side of Main Street. -INFORMATIONAL BROCHURES FOR HUNTERS. ODOT offered to put on an extra f lagger, prior to opening weekend, to hand out informational brochures with parking directions, a map, and shopping and restaurant information, to include area events. Your Chamber will be working on this handout. Retailers, get in touch with Claudia Hughes if you have suggestions or wish to offer assistance. -MAY STREET will be paved, one lane at a time. Target date for 100 percent completion is the end of September. - BULBS will leave adequate room for two vehicles to pass, even Humvees. Remember, these comer protrusions are for pedestrian safety. A distance of 26 feet, rather than 68 is much more navigable on foot. The bulbs will also slow traffic and make Heppner a pedestrian friendly community. - VOLKSWALKERS have been walking Heppner and enjoying it. This year 25 have registered at Central Red Apple, where they pick up their walking tour brochure and away they go. More are expected in 1998 with the state convention scheduled for Pendleton and our inviting tree-lined Main Street. Volkswalkers enjoy checking off all state sanctioned walks and picking up their Heppner lapel pin. When you see someone following the shamrocks, give them a 'Heppner Hello". Visitors are always welcome. -MINI-PARK is to be poured this Tuesday. - WHERE'S THE KISS? Last week's "Chatline" was delivered 'hot off the press" by two Chamber Ambassadors, Pat Edmundson and Betty Carlson, who report they left behind the hard hats and chocolate kisses. The hard hats were excusable since these ambassadors were straight off the golf course, but the kisses will be back. -ARE YOU ON THE TREE LIST?
