i PO UR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, February 26, 2003 Chamber C h a tter By Claudia Hughes, Executive Director W e're all dashing here and dashing there, often running late, to accom plish a variety o f th in g s for oth ers and life in general. Then we com e around a com er to see a flagger and that dash com es to an abrupt halt. H opefully, w e ’re not in such a state o f unconsciousness that w e ’re a danger to the flagger. O u r initial response to being detained in our dash is more often than not, negative, especially if we have a ten or twenty m inute wait. H e re a re som e suggestions, as Highway 74 from H eppner to Pilot Rock is under construction and those o f us who travel it will be faced w ith this dilemm a for a while. Take a deep breath and observe wildlife; take along a book or magazine; write a thank you note or letter; phone a friend if you are one o f those people who is never without their cell; visit with the flagger, file your f in g e r n a ils ; fo c u s on y o u r priorities for the day; look at cloud formations; or just breathe. You soon realize that the wait was not as long as you m ight have wished once you relax and pause to enjoy. It can either raise or lo w e r y o u r b lo o d p re ssu re . B esides, w hat w ould roads be like if one never had to wait for a flagger.
