"To help pave the way, buy a
brick" says Patti Allstott,
chairman of the brick sales for
Willow Creek Valley Assisted
Living (WCVAL). Readers will
find an order form on page three
of this issue of the Gazette
Times. Forms may also be picked
up and left at most businesses in
Heppner. The bricks are on
display at Klamath First Federal
bank.
WCVAL has applied to USD A
Rural Housing for $680,000 to
complete the funding for their
$980,000 project. Loans from
Bank of Eastern Oregon and
Klamath First Federal
and
private donations of $90,000 will
make up the rest of the package.
The preapplication to USDA
was sent in November 1999.
"This has been a long slow
process," said Allstott.
The board will meet with

specialist

First Federal will atlso attend the
meeting to help negotiate for the
$680,000 loan.
The USDA has indicated it
plans to cut the amount down
$580,000. This means that
WCVAL will have to raise
another $100,000. The final
approval for the application,
which is sent to Washington D.C.
could take up to two months
more.
WCVAL is still encouraging
private donations to help the
thermometer on Mam Street rise
to mark $90,000i donations. It is
currently at $65,000.
The building site for the
assisted living facility adjoins the
Lakeview subdivision and the
land was donated by the Port of
Morrow. Building will begin as
soon as the funding process is
completed.
Tax free donations may be
made out to WCVAL, a 501

and sent to Heppner City Hall or

school was huge and the teachers
were very, very strict. Way more
strict than in our classes. The
girls weren't very different from
here."
Brooke Rust, 13, liked going
to the mall where they went
shopping and ice skating. She,
too, liked Reynolds least. "The
kids there are okay," said
Brooke, daughter of Tim and
Shannon Rust on Buttercreek.
"Things were just about the same
at school. They had lunch earlier
and classes there were a little bit
funner. They
might have
behaved a little bit stricter.
Because they have big schools,
they have harder rules. I had a
good time with the school," said
Brooke, "but not really with the
family."
"I liked ice skating," said
Danielle Looslie, 14, daughter of
Carmen and Dan Looslie of
Lexington. "My family was
really nice. It was pretty' furr at
'sohool.'There were a lot Of kids
and the school was a lot bigger.
They had to have the kids on
separate teams. (Each "team" had
around 160 kids.) My favorite
class was social studies." "The
people down there definitely
don't give courtesy to people they
don't know, because they won't
see them again," added Danielle.
"It was kind of funny because
they expected us all to be in
Wranglers (riding club) or
something. They expected us to
be more country-like."
"The school was pretty big,
but we really didn't have to go all
around. The eighth graders were
downstairs. Each team had a
hallway and most classes were
there," commented Lindsey
Clough, 14, daughter of Karen
Clough of Heppner and Randy
Clough of Deer Park, WA.
"Some class periods were longer,
80 minutes, and some were
shorter, 40 minutes. Some had 15
minute breaks between. Kids
from here were in a lot of classes
together. We didn't really do any
homework."
"They (the
Centennial kids) weren’t really
different once you got to know
them," Lindsey added. "They all
seemed pretty nice and we all got
along pretty good. It was fun. My
family was really nice."
Matt Young, 14, son of Bruce
and Debbie Young, Black
Mountain, was able to go to a
Blazer game with his host
family. "My favorite experience-
the Blazer game was probably
first. That was really fun. And
then the hike on the Columbia
Gorge. We walked under a
waterfall. That was really cool.
The kids were all the same
between here and there, except
they wear baggy pants and spike
and dye their hair. They were
nice. They treated me really
good. There was more stuff to do
there-eat pizza, go to the movies.
If you need something you go get
it." "They have a lot fewer
classes," added Matt. "They have
four one day and four different
the next day. They don't have
bells. They just know when they
should leave classes. Math class
was a lot harder, but their science
class was really easier. I actually
did one of their science projects
for them. I didn't really pay too
much attention in the other
classes."
