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.
