'W $ - The Gazette Times, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, September 15, 1977-THREE At nursing home r Picnic brightens afternoon with Justine Weatherford AROUND ABOUT with Justine Weatherford Doesn't it seem like our weather is extra nice now that public schools are underway again? I can just hear the youngsters clamoring "Please teacher, can't we have our class outside today?" Saturday morning we noticed a large group of youth gathered at the Methodist Church ready to take off for a day along the Columbia River. As the weather warmed here I thought what fun they must be having swimming, waterskiing and picnicing at Hat Rock Park. Several excellent additions to the local business community have developed this month. It seems like overnight a greatly expanded parking area smoothly black-topped and neatly marked with white lines has appeared between the two Burkenbine enterprises, Central Market and the Morrow County Creamery. It looks so big and neat it almost invites a parking-lot dance or festival of some kind. Another great addition to our community is the super car wash at Vern's 76 Station. We took our very dirty, brown monster there on Saturday evening for their Grand Opening special, a wash and wax in two minutes for just $1. What a treat! Ours was the 86th car to be washed that day. So , vehicles should be looking cleaner around here from now on. Even at the regular $2 fee we think this car beauty treatment is a dandy buy. In anticipation of very important guests coming from Japan and northern Washington state, I did a little more garage and basement cleaning last week. This led to a trip to ' the local refuse dump on Saturday afternoon. I hadn't been to : the new dump; almost caught myself driving out Balm Fork Road. After I found the new location, I found a new Dump Master in charge. The late Frank Ayers was so helpful for so long at the old location. Well, now Erv Anderson is in charge and he was likewise very helpful. I was amazed to see how fast the new landfill seems to be filling. I do not know how much area , there was in Turner Canyon when dumping there began, but it looks to me like the place is being used quite heavily each weekend and that it could be used up to its capacity in a few more seasons. Then where will we dump our discards? The fall season is a favorite time of year. I guess I really like the rebirth of activity. I cling to the enjoyment of fall flowers and the pleasures of garden eating that will vanish with the first heavy frost. Our two retired teacher friends, Frances and Clifford Williams, stopped to give us some of the bounty from their always so great garden at Lexington. Their huge onions are bigger than the famous Walla Walla onions. Maybe this is another item of produce that our county could shine with. Farmer Clif also brought us carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, late rhubarb and some very attractive scalloped squash. When I asked these long-time teachers how they felt about not being in classrooms, they both said "Just fine!" Clif, however, admitted that he went to school the first day to "help the new teacher find where I left things." He also took a look at his replacement at lone and states," She is really lots prettier than I am." This beautiful fall weather must have contributed to good attendance at Boardman's Harvest Festival and at the Dressup Parade in Pendleton. Seems like Heppner folks left town on Saturday maybe they were celebrating the high school's big football victory over Pilot Rock other places than on their own Main Street. Sheriffs Report Sheriff's reports for the week include: Don Bennett, Heppner, reported the theft of a wood burning stove valued at $800 from his cabin on Arbuckle Mountain.
