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.
