Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughaa, Chamber Manager
This time of the year many
activities are requiring attention:
Town and Country wrap-up;
Chamber dues notices; Chamber
goal setting; getting the new year
off to a good start; defining
Chamber's role in the St. Pat's
celebration and in the year-round
events that help to enhance
Heppner.
On a personal level, tax
preparation, calving for ranchers,
inventory for businesses, family
and friends envelope our lives.
When it sometimes becomes
overwhelming, it often helps to
pause a moment and open our
eyes to the world around us.
Have you ever watched a covey
o f quail? About 20 pair visit our
yard daily scavenging for seeds,
wheat and apple shavings. I first
noticed them as they began
sneaking through the rails of the
fence, following their leader. As
I observed more closely, I
noticed that there is always a tree
percher, elevated above the
others observing the group.
Maybe he is looking at things
from a different perspective,
maybe making a plan, maybe
elected to warn the others of
danger or maybe he's just
antisocial. Then there are the
fence sitters, not sure whether to
take that extra step and get
involved or not, a fear of being at
ground level. On the ground are
the workers or followers,
scurrying hither and yon, taking
care of business but staying in
their comfort zone. The least
signal of danger and they all go
flying across the field. Then
there is the adventurer. He's out
there in front, going that extra
step, looking around the comer,
reaching for that extra grain,
flying up to the bird feeder to test
the seed, or perhaps he just plain
wants more space and likes
change. When the snow falls,
they all need food, warmth,
support and security. Their
differences make the covey
interesting and all need each
other to complete their world.
Stop and reflect on nature and
people Relax a little. Conflict
drains energy. As we move into
2000
le t’s
im prove
comm unication
and
understanding, and continue to
celebrate and work together in
Heppner and the Willow Creek
Valley. Our rural area has a
history of coming together to
survive flood, fire, and other
adversity, yet knows how to have
fun.
The Chamber appreciates all
who were a part of Town and
Country in large and small ways.
If you're lucky enough to call
Heppner home, you're lucky
enough.
Next week is the Chamber
monthly discussion forum where
all entities are welcome to give a
brief report on activities,
concerns, key issues, etc. The
Chamber meets at noon, upstairs
at Kate's on Tuesdays. Help us
kick off 2000 with your ideas and
energy.
