The couple will be m arried Sept. 2 0 ,2 0 0 3 , at Eola Hills Wine Cellars in Rickreall, OR. Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Exec. Dir. The other night, while we were sharing the magnitude o f the sky w ith friends, a lone car quietly parked close by. A voice said, “ You had the sam e idea.” Turned out that he had blindfolded his family, put them in the car, and driven them 50 miles for a viewing adventure and a guessing game o f “where are we now ?” As we departed, after looking at Mars and the Milky Way at length, the family was still there, making memories to last forever. Then, there w as the w om an w ho had lived in New York City for some 20 years and had never seen the Big Dipper until the recent blackout. Can you im agine not being able to see the stars? If you haven’t taken the time to share them with your children and grandchildren, or your spouse or friends, or experienced them on your own, then now is the time. It’s very simple and inexpensive. Just throw in a blanket or folding chairs and drive to the top o f a hill w ith off-highw ay parking; then lean back and enjoy the overw helm ing spectacle overhead. (Oh, and you might also take along some blankets, binoculars, and som ething w arm to drink.) You w o n ’t be sorry. You see the world and yourself a little differently when you go home. The skies above are so taken for granted by those o f us with lim ited city lights. It’s one o f the great things about M orrow County; the stars go on forever. I was told that was one o f the reasons people like to cam p at Willow Creek Lake when they go to fish. However, sadly, the lake is down so far that people are choosing to go elsew here for boating and fishing. Being an ag-oriented community, there is no question that farmers need water, but we also need visitors to continue to enjoy our outdoor am enities. They help our econom y and keep our Main Street viable. Hopefully, the drought will end or there can be a balance reached with the Corps o f Engineers and irrigators for recreation use. It’s all about working together. The Cham ber will be having a program to better understand this issue. Next week all entities report. Remember, the Heppner Chamber o f Commerce is continually working for you to make your com m unity the best it can be. Did you read the quote from the cow boy w ho participated in the O regon Trail Pro- Rodeo? It was something to the effect that he had been to a lot o f small towns, but never to Heppner, and “ it was the coolest ever." It’s the residents who m ake that happen.
