FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 28, 2021 Good News Only By Doris Brosnan As was stated last week, being recognized for a job well-done can lift one’s spirits and make a person feel appreciated, and that is surely what the following just-received note accom- plishes for some important people: “I believe what we should be looking at are the positives of having a competent road crew that is committed to working on all of our roads that have long been neglected. With the few resources we have access to, not all will be perfect, but in the long run, it is an improvement over what we had. Thank you.” On Sunday, the Hep- pner Shriners hosted a dinner for the three HHS football players who will be playing in the East-West Shriners All-Star Football game in Baker City on the August 7. The Shriners, who all are also Masons, impressed upon Jackson Lehman, Jayden Wilson, and Blake Wolters their pride in the boys’ accom- plishments and the Shri- ners’ important contribu- tions to the Shrine Hospital in Portland, which helps all children who come to them with health problems that they can treat. One person’s change in plans could lead to an- other person’s opportunity: Jason and Catherine Caryl, owners of Woolery House in Ione, have decided to place the historic home on the real estate market. The Caryls have renovated and updated many features of the Victorian home, so it presently can offer a com- mercially approved kitchen, a meeting venue and some overnight accommodations. Good news for someone. Questions? 509-308-4147. Another worthwhile project for Heppner is pos- sible because of the Howard and Beth Bryant Founda- tion: A pedestrian bridge will soon span Willow Creek, parallel to the pres- ent bridge at the end of Gale Street. That present bridge cannot be modified because it is a “historic bridge,” but both drivers of vehicles and pedestrians will appreciate and benefit from the addi- tion of the exclusive pedes- trian bridge, enabling traffic to run smoothly and safely. How delightful to have a friend who one feels com- fortable with even after years of not being together, as though time has stood still, and the friendship has had no interruptions. Conor Brosnan attests to those feelings after last week- end’s visit in Heppner from Noah Stone, who moved from Heppner when the two were still in grade school. The two buddies used to share birthday celebrations, among other things, and during this visit that Noah made with his mother, Mi- chelle, they shared years of stories with each other and other Heppner friends as they look forward to being graduating seniors next school year. Maybe this is good news for this writer’s ad- opted collie, Katie: At 3 a.m. last Sunday morning, the sound of the dog door apparently awoke me. As I stepped into the utili- ty-room space, around the corner from the room that holds the dog door comes full-grown, big Katie with a very, very small white male dog trotting merrily behind her. A loud voice was all that was necessary to get Katie’s guest ske- daddling back through the door. I snugged the cover up against it, feeling pret- ty certain that the visitor had kept running, but a half-hour later, the little guy came looking for his new romantic (?) interest, having knocked the cover enough aside to squeeze in. That time I secured the cov- er with holding wires. And later on Sunday, I found the space he had dug under the back fence, filled it with tamped down dirt, and add- ed a rock. Well, on Monday morning at 8:30 when I returned from tennis, I was greeted at the garage door to that same hallway by none other than the wanna-be friend. This time, as he ran away, I found a space under the fence on the opposite side of the yard through which he had come. Maybe that has been blocked, but maybe Katie’s suitor will find another way in. Such a pursuit of an eight-year-old “Lassie.” So much going on, we all non-Facebook read- ers can hope that many people will be willing to share pieces of good news from their many goings-on. Please, share your tidbits by sending them before Monday afternoon to dbros- nan123@gmail.com, or call 541-223-1490, or stop me on the street. Here’s hoping that some good news comes to everyone reading this.

Time to bring out the sticks To the editor The prophet Isaiah was speaking to the present age when he proclaimed “woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent their own sight. (Isaiah 5:20,21). A July editorial in the L.A. Times: “Carrots of lotteries and giveaways has not been enough to convince millions of Amer- icans to get vaccinated so it is time to bring out the sticks.” Expect Gover- nor Brown’s recent victory celebration in downtown Portland over Covid 19 to be cancelled, just like our culture. Expect the sticks next: vaccine mandates in order to keep your job, go to college, be treated at a hospital. Expect new mask mandates, social distancing, self-quarantining of healthy people, business closures, OSHA fining businesses into bankruptcy and a mad mass media campaign to spread fear of the supposed virulent new Delta strain of Covid. Expect those that refuse the experimental covid 19 vaccinations (gene therapy) to be threatened, shamed, blamed and ridi- culed. The Jerusalem Post on July 21 revealed that the Israeli Health Ministry released figures showing 58 percent of Israelis hospital- ized by the Delta variant of Covid 19 had already re- ceived both vaccinations. In the United Kingdom more “vaccinated citizens died of the Delta variant than the unvaccinated.” The fatality rate of the Delta variant of the Covid 19 is lower than the original variant. “The latest data from the UK shows the fatality rate of the Delta variant amongst the vaccinated is 0.08 percent which makes it less deadly than the normal flu.” (Je- rusalem Post July 21,21). Remember these facts when the coming Delta mass hys- teria builds momentum for the next lockdown The Democrat, Pro- gressive, Socialist, Marxists call evil good, and good evil. They call the unvac- cinated evil and those that yield their liberty for peace and safety good. They call those that proclaim Ameri- ca is a corrupt nation popu- lated by white racists good, while those that love their country, love God and our Christian heritage, evil. They call those that contend for American sovereignty, national borders, immigra- tion based on historical law and precedent evil, while those that advocate illegals over running our borders with no health and Covid testing, good. These un-American and one world order bu- reaucrats that perpetuate this Covid 19 conspiracy are “wise in their own eyes and prudent in the own sight” as they spin the ‘fol- low the science’ world lock- down. Frontline doctors have sued the federal gov- ernment against using the experimental emergency Covid 19 vaccine on chil- dren under age 16. The suit contends there is no public interest in subjecting chil- dren to an inoculation pro- gram to protect them from a disease that simply does not threaten them. CDC data illustrates that Covid 19 patients under 20 recov- ery rate is 99.997 percent. The suit documents CDC data that reveals the Covid 19 experimental inocula- tions are demonstrating a 12,000 percent increase in deaths over historical vac- cinations. Never before in history in America has an inoculation program experi- enced the degree of adverse events (death, strokes, clots, spontaneous abortions, ana- phylactic reactions, cardio- vascular, neurological and immunological) and not been cancelled. Perhaps the cover post- er of “wise in his own eyes” would be Dr. Anthony Fau- ci who is facing a criminal referral over his testimony before Congress regarding the origins of Covid !9. Private emails from Dr. Fauci recently released due to a freedom of information lawsuit clearly prove Dr. Fauci and his NIH Institute funded, and master mind- ed the “gain of function” research that produced the Covid 19 pandemic. Dr Anthony Fauci continues to be the spokesman for ‘follow the science’ world lockdown and mandated vaccinations of all world citizens. The book of Rev- elation reveals where this worldwide Covid mandate is going. “And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive the mark of the beast in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that any man might buy or sell, save he had that mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Already France has recently required a Covid certificate for any leisure activity over 50 that must be presented for entry into museums, cinemas, festivals, theme parks, restaurants along with a stick: 6 months in jail and a year for businesses that do not comply. The French have finally had enough and have taken to the streets in protest. Take note Americans. Stuart Dick, Irrigon Ione School District #2 WE ARE HIRING!
