Chamber Chatter Wedding By Claudia Hughes Chamber Executive Director By this time next week the Halloween Spooks will have come and gone and we'll have turned yet another calendar page. How can we accomplish anything worthwhile if powers beyond our means keep cutting short the hours in a day, the days in a month, and the months in a yeaf? I think it's time for a much younger Chamber executive director to take over because before one turns 50, the time seems to go slower and one gets more done. Either that or there are just way too many options and too little time. Com ing up on the Cham ber meeting calendar on Tuesday, Oct. 30, will be a preview o f possible plans for the property between the Mini Park and the Antique Machinery leg of the Morrow County Museum (formerly Unocal property ). Taken m steps, it will be an additional asset to Heppner. Keep in mind that it is not possible to build there.
