The “pumpkin patch” at the main entrance could be a surprise, but residents and staff hoped that trick-or-treaters would be brave enough to come inside for a treat and visit on Halloween. Residents had some fun with their special Halloween shirts and decorations and looked forward to even more fun on Oct. 31. The residents decorated their orange t- shirts with pumpkin faces and posed at the entry area of the Terrace for a group photo, which has been featured on the local Channel 3. Featured on their menus in recent weeks were a few meals of familiar fare with some unfamiliar and frightening descriptions, in keeping with the Halloween spirit of October. Getting a jump on trick or treating, the three- year-old preschool students from Heppner Day Care visited the Terrace on Monday, Oct. 30. The little ghosts, goblins, and contemporary scary things shared cookies, songs, punch and “lots of fun,” reports Manager George Naims. Fourteen residents who took the trip to the county museum on Oct. 10 experienced another kind of pleasure. Organized by Cherry Webber and Joan Basile, the museum visit afforded residents an opportunity to step back in time and multiple memories and to share some stories with the volunteers Neva DeMayo, Betty Carlson, Bob and Aloha DeSpain and Karen Dubuque who joined them. More fun is in store for residents and staff when, on Nov. 1, the “Has Been Wanna Be’s” singing group starts the month off with a visit.

It remains the one activity that the Community Center organization sponsors in its attempt to fund the maintenance of the historic building in Hardman. The building continues to be used occasionally for some social gatherings and it receives several visitors every year, as passersby stop to examine it and the rest of the "ghost town” and to pick up the printed history of the town. Membership in the Hardman Community Center carries a yearly $10 due. All persons interested in maintaining this site are invited to join. Most present members say that they recognize the importance of retaining historical sites, or they are interested in the history of Morrow County, or they are attracted to “ghost towns,” or all of the aforementioned. Anyone wishing to join the group should send their $10 dues with their information to the Hardman Community Center Treasurer. 75950 Highway 74, Heppner, OR 97836.

She was born 95 years ago in Top, Oregon- a small community about five miles from Monument- to George and Jessie Smith. She was the oldest of the children, and her sister, Helen Jones, was the youngest, with two brothers in the middle. Jones lives in Ohio, and recently, McDaniel traveled to see her while she was in Welches, Oregon. McDaniel met and married Carl McDaniel when she was 18 years old. They met at a dance in Top and were together until his passing a few years ago. For 26 years, she worked at the courthouse, much of that time as Morrow County Treasurer. She says she enjoyed those years very much, but she has enjoyed retirement, as well. For some time after retiring, McDaniel created several painting that she has sold. On her apartment wall, hangs the one painting she has kept, the one of "Fat Cat,” her feline friend of those years. Presently, McDaniel enjoys the activities sponsored by the Terrace and she continues her many- years' membership in the Bookworms. She says she enjoys life on the hill, especially because she knew almost everyone there before moving in. This sentiment reflects McDaniel's positive nature and her neighbors on the hill view having her optimistic vigor with them as a fine addition to their environment. 5 Real Solutions for Today's Problems PAID FO R BY W A L D E N F O R C O N G R E S S • P O B O X 1091 • H O O D R IV E R , O R 97031 » I
