CHANGE:"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

John F. Kennedy

�e weather is changing again and looking like summer has arrived. Along with the weather changing there are a lot of changes coming ahead. Change can be di�cult or it can be rewarding. It’s all in how you look at it. Take a look at the Cascade Square Merchants shopping area; a beautiful façade improvement but don’t forget all those stores are still open for business! Don’t let the construction stop you from a good shopping spree or getting your nails done. Keep your eye on the Chamber of Commerce/Visitor’s Center in the next few months. We will be changing our façade too. We are all looking forward to a nice, fresh, updated new facade! Drive by to see our progress! Have you noticed all the construction going on in town? Google, of course. But how about over by Shari’s Restaurant or all the homes where Joseph G. Wilson school was located? And have you seen the new storage facility that is being built by NORCOR or the updated changes at Bent River? �at is just a few.. Change is constant, it's a good reminder that changes make our businesses and town constantly be on our toes. Speaking of change, as of July 1st the ships welcome committee will no longer be a task of the Chamber, but will be under direction of Main Street. �e only thing that is constant is change, so we as people, businesses and as a town, need to embrace the changes that happen daily! We need to celebrate where we have been and look forward to where we are going! What is changing in your life this month?? Cheers, Mindy

Rep. John Hu�man, R-�e Dalles, con�rmed Friday that he is seeking a Trump administration appointment to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture's rural development o�ce in Oregon.

"I've put my name in, �lled out the packet," Hu�man, 60, said in a telephone interview. "I've got Congressman Greg Walden's endorsement and a bunch of other groups."

As Oregon's only Republican in Congress, Walden has sway over Trump's Oregon appointees. Walden has recommended another Republican lawmaker, House Minority Leader Mike McLane, be named Oregon's federal prosecutor.

If appointed, Hu�man would oversee a sta� of more than 50 from the Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building in downtown Portland. �e o�ce manages loan and grant programs meant to spur rural business development, home building and buying, and renewable energy projects in Oregon.
