in Condon, Oregon, and call upon all to honor this good man.
PORTLAND, Ore. – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invites guests to learn about raptors and other migratory birds and see them in the wild this winter. The Dalles Dam Visitor Center will be open 9 a.m. to 3 p.m Saturdays and Sundays for the month of January.
The Dalles Dam Visitor Center is the perfect place to discover winter wildlife as it’s a prime location for roosting bald eagles. It’s not uncommon to see more than 30 eagles at any given time, which is why so many visitors use the parking lot and adjacent Seufert Park as a staging area for eagle viewing. Some prefer to park and hike while others just view from their vehicle.
This year we’d like to accommodate our winter travelers by having the visitor center open on weekends as a place to warm up, before or after eagle viewing. Corps park rangers will be available to answer questions, help people use spotting scopes (which we provide) and teach some basic bird identification tips and tricks. Interactive activities and hands-on displays will be available.
Additionally, the Corps will host its eighth annual Eagle Watch event on Saturday, January 20th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Join park rangers for a fun filled day of birds of prey educational programming and live raptor viewing provided by our partners – the Discovery Center, U.S. Forest Service, and Rowena Wildlife Clinic!
The Dalles Dam Visitor Center is located just north of Interstate 84 at exit 87. After exiting the highway, turn east onto Bret Clodfelter Way and follow the road to the visitor center. For more information and to register for tours, please contact The Dalles Lock and Dam Ranger Office at 541-506-7857 or 541-296-9778, or visit the dam’s website at www.nwp.usace.army.mil/locations/Columbia-river/the-dalles.
What is the difference between being yourself and being your “best” self? Yes, there is a difference in words, but there is also a difference in perspective and mindset.
How many times have you been told, “Just be yourself”? Most likely, dozens of times, by friends, family, teachers, coaches, and others. And if you have stopped to think about it, you probably have many different “selves” – we all do. So how do we know which self is the best one to be?
All of us have many possible selves. Some aspects of our personalities are active and obvious, and these aspects we call current reality, or who we are right now. But there are many other possibilities, or possible selves, that we can strengthen and bring into current reality, if we choose to.
Think for a minute. What is your best self like? Can you list the qualities that make “you at your best” different from the ordinary, everyday you? Because once you bring these qualities into your awareness, into your consciousness, you can deliberately set out to make your “everyday” self, more like your “best” self.
Using the techniques of affirmation, visualization, and control of your self-talk, it is not as hard as you might think. These aspects give us a pattern to follow, that make change easier to accomplish. You see, we move toward and become like what we think about. “Where thought goes, energy flows.” It’s a matter of managing your mind.
