EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 14, 2001 Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Exec. Dir. This past weekend I traveled to my hometown for a tuneral and was additionally saddened to see the demise o f businesses in one end of town. Where there once was a 99 cent store, two clothing stores a drugstore, a restaurant and an appliance repair store, there are now boarded-up storefronts. Some of us visited about this and the importance of shopping locally. It's not that the community isn't working hard and doesn't have community pride; it's that there is easy access to malls, Wal-mart, Costco, etc. and it's an excursion. People leave for certain items and forget to come home. We wonder if the citizens realize that a dollar turns over seven times in their town. Shopping locally means that dollars are turned over locally for donations for events and to organizations in the form of signage, uniforms, support of sports, trips, activities for kids and adults, advertising, street banners and decorations, parades, auction items, dues and hundreds of other projects that they or someone in their organization has knocked on a business's door to request. Dollars spent locally not only enable the businesses to give back, but most importantly mean job retention. Employees contribute to the community, volunteer and pay taxes, thus supporting roads, schools and the vitality of the community. When a community stays healthy, more businesses come in and create competition and variety. It's tough to compete with businesses 50 to 80 miles away who can buy in huge volume, but is it taking care of the future of our small towns if we leave all of our dollars in another community or state where only they benefit from the dollars we left? I think not. I hope that down the road people who have loved and grown up in Heppner don't return to see their childhood hometown change, as I saw mine. Let's take care of this wonderful little town and each other. It's like the "circle of life,” "all the parts of the body working together," " keeping it in the family," keeping PUBLIC NOTICE The Morrow County Court will be considering two appointments to serve on the Morrow County Planning Commission to represent the greater Irrigon area.

It's the address we call home As we find ourselves out-of-town for some of the items impossible to find locally, let’s remember to get the ones we can right here on Main Street. My sources say many items are less money than out-of-town and they're right. We want our hometown, Heppner, to thrive and we want to ensure our bragging privileges.

Karen's Korner Items of Health • Tobacco Prevention by Karen Masshoff For those o f you who made resolutions to quick smoking and are now well into better health, I applaud you. For those still in the contemplative stage: my thoughts and words of encouragement. When it's the right time for you, you will. Are you in need of more inspiration? The February 5th edition of Time Magazine has an article, "Repairing The Damage," in their Health section focusing on how to get healthier. To turn your life around they say right off: "Eat right. Quit smoking. Get fit." The good news is: "In the past few years doctors have learned that blood vessels and coronary tissue respond almost immediately to quitting smoking - even in smokers who are 60 or 70 years old.” Finally the dust of the election and post-election hoopla has settled and legislators from all levels of government are beginning to do the work for which they were elected. With talk of tax cuts and tobacco settlement money, you would think we were awash in dollars. However, there are commentators from many sectors sounding caution and I include myself as one of them certainly in regards to how Oregon spends its settlement dollars. The tobacco industry is also very interested in how that money is spent which is why they put additional money into this state's election campaigns and are backing certain interest groups. If you care to read the specifics, I refer you to the story by Dave Hogan in the January 3, 2001, Oregonian. Here are some important items to keep in mind: the tobacco settlement came about to pay for the billions o f dollars spent in health care as a result of tobacco-related diseases, and to provide education to head off tobacco use by our children. The tobacco industry provided cigarettes during all o f our military campaigns in the last century and then lied to us about the harmful effects, attacking credible scientific research. When enough folks died off or quit, they targeted our children with Joe Camel and Virginia Slim. Now it's time for our legislators in Oregon to do the right thing and not all of the folks in Salem are in agreement. Those legislators in our own region are not in agreement; they need to hear from us. What about state legislation regarding clear air or tobacco control that if made into law would prevent local communities from enacting their own ordinances or regulations? This is known as preemption. Stay tuned. PU BLIC N O T IC E TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE Reference is made to that certain trust deed made by Jay A. Galvin, as grantor, to Glenn H.
