Chamber Chatter
4 -H News
By Debbie Radie
By Claudia Hugh#*, Chamber Manager
Ballots have been received in
the mail and election day is
drawing near. The Heppner
Chamber
of
Commerce
encourages one and all to
exercise their freedom to vote.
Many are bemoaning the new
vote-by-mail in Oregon. " Times,
they are a.changin"!"
Remember when... Election
day arrived and the main agenda
was to get to your designated
voter location to vote? You lined
up, visited with people you
hadn't seen for awhile, stood in
line, signed in and went into your
little booth, with pride, to make
American choices. Then you may
have enjoyed dinner out and
leaned over the back of the booth
to share thoughts. (Now, where
did you put that mail-in ballot
and does it have the right pages?)
Remember when...the voters
pamphlet was really a pamphlet,
not an inch thick book with two
parts that can serve as a booster
seat for your grandchildren?
Remember when...
Presidential candidates and the
President came to small towns. (I
remember standing on Main
Street Walla Walla around the
age of 10 and Dwight D.
Eisenhower came slowly by in a
convertible. The big deal at 10
was that it was my gum his
convertible run over as people
clapped, applauded and waved
flags.) The President of our
United States was put on a
pedestal during his term in
office; no one knew anything
about his laundry.
Remember when....you sat
glued to a radio listening to
election returns because there
was no television or Internet
telling you who had won the
election before you had a chance
to vote? ( You didn't know much
about the candidates, just what
your parents said, but things were
a little tense at school until the
election was over if your best
friends’ parents had a different
party preference.)
Remember when...the
telephone rang and a human
being was there, not a message
telling you the faults of one of
the candidates? (Your telephone
number had three digits and you
didn't run around with it glued to
your ear!)
Remember when... there were
a couple of measures on the
ballot representing the entire
state, put there because dedicated
people had worked their hearts
out, not because of noncommittal
paid signature gatherers in
metropolitan areas?
Remember when... we were
much younger. For both the
young, and the young at heart,
the bottom line is, it's a privilege
to pause for the "Star-Spangled
Banner," to listen to "America
The Beautiful", and to vote
whether age 18 or 118. Honesty
does still make a difference. So,
go through that pile, locate your
ballot and exercise the freedom
to voice your opinion, then, put it
in the mail because you are an
American.

Perhaps many folks are still pondering on how to vote on our
state's election measures. How many people can claim that they
have read all of volumes one and two of the so-called voters
pamphlets? If those books had been gift catalogs, I could have had
all my Christmas shopping completed.
The only undisputed statement is where it says "please recycle"
on the back of these volumes. We don't want to waste all that paper
from those trees already harvested. Now it seems our country has
found another way to save trees, besides locking them up in a
wilderness area where they're apt to bum. They claim that in the
future we may be voting by computers. Why not? Everything else
in this country, including national security information is shared
with the world via computers.
Love it or hate it, this is Oregon's first vote-by-mail general
election. It's said that all-mail voting reduces the cost of Oregon's
elections by more than $3,000,000. That doesn't include the cost of
printing and mailing voter "encyclopedias" that would be sent out
anyway. No more flag waving or standing in line at polling places
where those patriotic symbols stir the soul.
This method of voting does give plenty of time to hash over
issues at the dinner table even if someone, not in agreement, could
get mashed potatoes in the face instead of dessert. The down side
is that special interest groups or political parties can tap into
county databases to find out who hasn't yet voted. Consequently,
those that haven't turned in their ballots may be bombarded with
phone calls, mailings or even personal visits as a means of
persuasive arm twisting. My telephone recorder has been sizzling
with all those canned messages. Our vote must surely be the
pivotal one for this election. Every day is voting day until Tuesday,
Nov. 7.
It always amazes me how many different opinions can be voiced
about different measures. Some of the reasons for or against these
proposed constitutional amendments are almost as creative as the
measures themselves. There's an old saying, "If it ain't broke, don’t
fix it." If our constitution has been working in the past, how come
so many changes are needed?
It's good that the football season extends through November,
otherwise there wouldn’t be anything to report in newspapers after
the fury of the general election results are reported and dissected-
-then hashed and rehashed. Obviously, in spite of the outcome- -
much like the imagined Y2K disaster- -people will still go to work,
eat and pay taxes. But it will give people something new to grouse
about, especially those who don't vote.
Truly, we should all be concerned about the future of this
country and the worrisome world turmoils, it's just that we're been
flogged with so much political rhetoric.
When it comes to political figures I wonder if Kitzhaber got his
shiny cowboy boots soiled during a photo op while visiting Eastern
Oregon forests. He actually stated that help is needed for forest
reclamation projects. Do you suppose he's gotten the message that
locking up public lands and declining timber sales have played
havoc with the economy, the schools and roads in rural areas?
Do we really know just how any political policy will play out
when it comes to acting on campaign promises? Take the highly
recommended "patient's bill of rights" supposedly supported by
both parties. According to the fine print, it would allow a patient
to sue an employer who has paid for employees' health care
policies, in the event that some employee's health care is
unsatisfactory. That's like suing the bartender because some drunk
ended up in an accident.
I also find perplexing the cynical remarks about our country in
a column written by high school student Amber Flaiz in the East
Oregonian. I hope this is a passing phase and doesn't reflect how
her generation will take over the reins. Her statement"- -that has
been rendered useless, much like the state our government finds
itself in" could be interpreted in different ways.
I'm off key when it comes to singing "Yankee Doodle" and I
wouldn't attempt "God Bless America." However it is a
government by the people who control this nation's destiny.
Voting, as well as criticizing, is everyone's privilege in s
democracy. As Veteran's Day approaches, just ask any war veteran
the price paid to guarantee that freedom.
