I was taking the infamous Spot down to for his usual greet, charm and snack routine, and happened onto the boisterous scene of “Valentine Hall Decorations Contest” . Penny Miller, our nursing home Activities Director, came up with the idea for this ‘friendly’ competition to enable the entire hospital and nursing home staff to scrap for the honor of “best hall decoration section” - or something like that. The display started in the elevator, which was dubbed 'The Tunnel of Love’, and proceed through a creative 'Post Office’ section complete with “Wanted” posters of each resident, as well as Spot, for various sweet offenses. The observer then moved onto the Hershey Kiss section, with each resident’s photo framed by a huge "Kiss’ complete with his or her name on the pull tab. The displays were varied and imaginative including spring gardens, silk flowers, crepe paper hearts surrounding the re sid e n t’s nam es, and valentine envelopes reminiscent o f school days creations. Some sections elegant while others simple. And all were wonderful. As Spot and 1 traversed the hall, most of the residents were mingling while many of the T/a&ntine SBoçers SHKRRKLI, INSURANCE Brenda Sherrell 67 8 -5 8 1 8 127 N. Main, Heppner Gardner’s Men's W ear Farmers’ Life Insurance farmers com competitors were joisting to gain the three “Judges” favor. In spite o f the B usiness O ffice Decorating Team going so far as to offer blatant bribes to each of the panel, the judges refused to be bought as prizes were handed out in various categories. The competition was a hit with the residents as they are still enjoying seeing photos of themselves, and are working on their Valentine exchange, and as for the rowdy competitors - they are already planning for the Halloween hall competition. Former HHS grad joins Conservation Service in Condon Josh Coiner, formerly of Heppner, has joined the team at the N atural R esources Conservation Service in Condon as a riparian buffer technician.

Coiner will be working to increase understanding among landowners of the benefits buffers along stream s create and knowledge o f the cost-share programs available to improve them. Coiner would like to increase the number of riparian projects in Gilliam County and increase the acreage in the programs already available.
