Help make the holidays brighter for a local senior Home Instead Senior Care is setting out to make the holiday season a little less isolating for local seniors. Almost a third of seniors 65 and older live alone according to AARP. When seniors have few friends and families to surround themselves with feelings of isolation often follow. Home Instead Senior Care’s offi ce serving Salem is inviting the community to come to- gether to provide gifts and holiday cheer to seniors who may be isolated from friends or family this holiday season through its Be a San- ta to a Senior program. Last year, more than 160 local seniors received their requested gifts. Be a Santa to a Senior is a community pro- gram partnering with Salem businesses, non- profi t organizations, retailers, numerous volun- teers and members of the community. The local effort is headquartered at Shopko Pharmacy, 1230 Lancaster Drive S.E., in Salem. A gifting tree is already set up at the site with ornaments that include a senior’s fi rst name and desired gift. Holiday shoppers can choose an ornament, buy the requested gift and return it to the store with the ornament attached. There’s no need to worry about wrapping — program partners will wrap and Meals on Wheels will deliver the gifts to local seniors in time for the holidays. For more information about the program, visit BeaSantatoaSenior.com or call (503) 361- 5477. You can learn more about helping help seniors in isolation in your community at im- readytocare.com.

PLASTIC BAGS, STYROFOAM, AND WAXY CARTONS WERE NEVER RECYCLABLE! ©1986 By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Keizer residents Rich and Heather Howard have stayed busy since purchasing the Willow Lake Golf Center and Driving Range on Nov. 1. But none of those days have really felt like work. “I’ve worked seven days a week, 13 hours a day since we’ve owned it and I don’t feel like I’ve worked a day,” said Rich, who has played golf for 40-plus years and wanted to own a business like Willow Lake for nearly as long. “When I lived in Hillsboro there was a driving range and I loved that place and I thought I’d really like to have something like that of my very own,” Rich said. “I didn’t just want to own a business. I wanted to own a business that was in an industry that’s a passion of mine, some- thing I can pour my heart into.” When the Keizer driving range went on the market, Heather, a McNary graduate, PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING GOOD RECYCLABLES EMPTY, CLEAN AND DRY: • Cardboard and uncoated greyboard boxes (Shipping & cereal type) • Print-quality paper - newspaper, junk & office paper, and magazines; • Tin & Aluminum Cans Only - NO foil, trays, or scrap metal; • Plastic Bottles and Jugs Only - NO bags, tubs, clamshells, bubble Pak, or other plastics.
