B y A A e rly n R o b in s o n
While the Sept. 11 tragedy remains fresh in our minds, this
month is filled with past important events that also impacted this nation.
On September 16, 1620, the Mayflower set sail with a mission of
finding a new land even though some people still believed the world to
be flat. However Columbus didn’t drop off the edge, he just dropped
in for lunch uninvited by Native Americans.
On Sept. 5,1774, this fledging nation held the first Continental
Congress in Independence Hall in Philadelphia. The Treaty of Paris
was signed between England and the U.S. on Sept. 3, 1783, ending
the bloody Revolutionary War. Without poll taking, special interest
influences, media critics or being stalled forever by an appeals process,
the signing of the U.S. Constitution took place on Sept. 17, 1787. All
this was done without a zillion lawyers and billions of dollars. What
happened to that wisdom that rallied together for the common good?
How unlike our present legislatures who know how to spend, but don’t
seem to know how to economize.
In 1806 when the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery ended
on Sept. 23, besides their worn-out moccasins, they carried an
important journal. Unlike today’s CEOs, they didn’t get rich in the
stock market while investors lost their shirts. Nor did they acquire
yachts, million dollar homes or retirement benefits from the government
who backed them.
Enough of History 101 (if history is still taught in schools)- on
to important current events. Oregon has been selected to supply this
year’s White House Christmas tree. Since 1965, different national
forests have been selected for this honor. Thankfully there are a few
evergreens left in Oregon that haven’t gone up in smoke. A 70-foot
Douglas fir from the Diamond Lake Ranger District in the Umpqua
National Forest is the target along with dozens of small trees to decorate
the hallways and rooms of our nation's capitol. Besides these trees,
crafty Oregonians are making 6,000 handmade ornaments such as
birdhouses. Beats me why every room there needs a tree and the
hallways are lined with Christmas trees when there are some homes
in this nation where a Christmas tree isn’t affordable. While the
American way is to put on an impressive front, some radical “do
gooders” don’t want any trees cut. Maybe that philosophy began when
George Washington got in trouble for cutting down a single tree.
September is also the time for hunting seasons that ties in
with an amusing addition to the “Maggie’s Drawers’’ commentary.
The aforementioned site was original a sheep camp. I'm told. A
sheepherder hung a pair of long johns in a prominent tree where the
sheep bedded in hopes of scaring off the coyotes that were killing the
sheep. Cornett Green, whose hunting party favored that area, dubbed
them “Maggie’s Drawers.” Recalling Cornett’s sense of humor, he
perhaps embellished them with pink ribbons and accessories, as he
was known for his practical jokes. I'm glad to hear that the reservoir
remains viable, even if the “drawers” are now history.
September is also noted for a seasonal change. Sept. 23, the
autumnal equinox, marks the beginning of the fall season. Our country
remains a mixed bag of blessings and rainfall is needed for the thirsty
landscape. Meanwhile, if the spirit moves you, one could get busy
making Christmas tree ornaments for the White House. Perhaps
arrangements from dried plants; a decorated, fire-scorched evergreen
bough or an embellished dried cow pie might be symbolic Oregon
contributions.

Cancer, exercise

The diagnosis o f any
cancer can have a tremendous
impact on the patient and his or
her family and friends. That is why
the American Cancer Society has
developed M an-to-M an, a
program that helps everyone
involved with the diagnosis of
prostate cancer get through the
emotional trauma and subsequent
treatments.
The
M an-to-M an
Pendleton P rostate C ancer
Support Group, sponsored by the
American Cancer Society and St.
Anthony Hospital in Pendleton,
will hold their next regular meeting
on Monday, Oct. 7, at 7 p.m., in
meeting room one of St. Anthony
Hospital. The meeting is free to
all participants.
According to June Miller,
an Am erican C ancer Society
volunteer, each meeting features
a different specialist in various
fields related to prostate cancer
who share information on medical
topics and quality-of-life issues.
This month, Debi Shampine, ACE,
AIFE, personal trainer, will speak
on “Cancer and Exercise: Spirit
P rogram ,” w hich is a free
exercise program for cancer
patients.
“ The
M an-to-M an
m eeting is a relaxed and
confidential gathering that allows
prostate cancer patients and their
families and friends to discuss
th eir q u estions, fears and
concerns openly and honestly,”
Miller says.
For more information on
the M an-to-M an Pendleton
Prostate Cancer Support Group,
or to register for the meeting, call
June Miller at (541) 443-6171.
