"Once in a blue moon." After
hearing that expression over the
years, I now know it means two
full moons in one month, one
often tinged with blue. January
brought two full moons, a
tremendous Town and Country
celebration, and a jolt to
Heppner with the pending
closure of our mill.
Meraa Debolt, our Town and
Country guest speaker wrote a
wonderful thank you to the
Chamber of Commerce praising
our community and pointing out
that Heppner does not have an
attitude of self-pity, rather an
attitude of "let's help one another
get through this." We often need
to see ourselves through the eyes
of a visitor and get a better
perspective of how lucky we are
to call Heppner home. She and
her husband enjoyed their
accommodations and hospitality
at the Northwestern Motel. In
addition to her thank you, this
week she sent a copy of her
Museum Musings published in
the Skamania County Pioneer.
Yes, our work is cut out for us.
It will take the Port of Morrow,
the county, the city, Heppner
Economic
Development
C o rp o ra tio n ,
H eppner
Coordinating
Council,
the
Chamber of Commerce and all
the citizens to work together to
bring additional jobs to Heppner,
to retain the people we have, and
to help all get through the
transition period. Not only do
we have sturdy Irish stock, we '
have Swedes, Germans, Scots,
English and just plain hearty
rural Americans to keep our
community forging ahead.
Nothing with value comes easy.
Speaking of the Irish and all
those Irish-for-a-day. Plans are
coming together for the 17th
annual celebration March 12, 13,
and 14, 1999. It's tradition with
a few changes you'll soon hear
about. Featured music will be
John Doherty and the Irish
Singers, the return of Mountain
Aire, Contemporary Christian
music in the park, and Cascadia
Folk Quartet on Saturday night.
All you hard working people
will want to take a break to tap
your toes to the music during the
weekend. Stay tuned and keep
those auction items coming in.
Thought for the week: "There
are days I think I missed m y
prime and headed right into the
butt roast of my life."
