By Merlyn Robinson
Turning ever a new leaf can be a positive experience. 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? The first tree was purchased
by Ray and Norma French six years ago. Other trees in 1991 were
"adopted" by Ken Jackson, Bob and Suzanne Jepsen, Doug and
Sonia Smith, Lowell Gribble, Murray Drugs, Inc., Cliff Green, Dr.
Rolen III, Mark Miller, John Edmundson, Ball/Laughlin Families,
Daisy Collins, Heppner Soroptimists, Merlin and Claudia Hughes.
Since, those who added to shade on Main and May have been the
Heppner Garden Club, Mike Proctor, Helen Riehl, Louie and Betty
Carlson, Frank and Cara Osmin, Bob and Sharon Harrison, Gail
Hughes, Cam and Jim Wishart, Pat and Trish Sweeney, Roland and
Donna Bergstrom, Bruce Thompson, Morrow County Museum and
Jana Lee Musgrove. Six remain for "adoption".
On October 5, "Folk Dances
and Fineries" will feature
Rumanian Folk Dances by
Bartók and the intricacies of the
clarinet concerto' by Mozart,
performed by guest artist Gene
Williams, of Omaha, NB.
On November 23, "Vistas,,,
Visions and Voices" will feature
Brahms Symphony #3 and choral
composition, the "Visions of St.
John" and "Ode to St. Cecelia" in
a unique blend and contrast of
brass and voices.

"that
wonderful
holiday
tradition", will be performed.
On February 8, "Laughter,
Legends and Lyricism," will
