Willow Creek Diner
and the Heppner Chamber of
Commerce are sponsoring a
Gingerbread
House
decorating class for kids,
ages 3-18. The charge per
child will be 50 cents to
cover the cost of the house
“shell.” If your child cannot
afford the 50 cents, see Terry
at the Chamber. Class size
will be limited to 40 kids on
a first come, first served
basis. Signup sheets are
located at Willow Creek
Diner and the Chamber
office. Dates are Monday,
Nov. 27 12-6 p.m. and
Tuesday, Nov. 28 4-6 p.m.
Each day will be broken
down to 1.5-hour sessions.
Children 3-6 must have a
guardian stay with them
during the decorating
process.
The house “shells”
will be pre-made so all the
children have to do is
decorate them. The sponsors
will provide basic candy for
decorations, so any novelty
edibles must be provided by
the child. Deadline for sign
up is Tuesday. Nov. 17.

frightened the faint of heart
in October. 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. More music is in store
for those who will attend the
Willow Creek Symphony
performance on Nov 4.
Veterans Ed Dick, Floyd
Green and George Jefferies
plan to attend the Heppner
High School program that
will honor military veterans
on Nov. 13. And before the
traditional Thanksgiving
feast at the Terrace on Nov.
23, everyone will celebrate
Mickey Mouse's birthday
w ith cartoons and cake and
ice cream on Nov. 18.

season, which falls at the end
of September or first of
October. 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

Greg has returned to Oregon over 280 time's to stay in close touch with
residents and work on their concerns. As Chair of the Forests and
Forest Health Subcommittee, he authored bipartisan legislation to allow
forest managers to remove burned dead trees more quickly after a for
est fire. This will get new trees and vegetation growing sooner to stop
erosion and restore habitat faster. Thanks to Greg's leadership, the bill
passed the I S. House of Representatives earlier this year.
A Small business

After 20 years as a small business owner. Greg knows the challenges
rural communities face in creating jobs. That's wliy he's supported
incentives to revitalize the economy, stood up for Oregon
resource-based jobs, and strongly advocated for farmers and ranchers
throughout eastern, central, and southern Oregon.

Members of the
Hardman Community
Center met on Oct. 22 to
discuss the future of the
Hardman Oyster Feed. The
group decided that it would
sponsor a feed next fall, w ith
some changes.
Back to the original
blueprint for the feed,
members of the Center w ill
take responsibility for the
several aspects of
preparation and head up the
committees that work the
night of the event.
Additionally, the
organization decided to offer
a "$500 grant award” to a
group interested in
volunteering an “in-kind”
match of manpower to the
financial
award.
Approximately 20 adult and/
or young-adult volunteers
will be needed for the
various responsibilities. Any
organization wishing to
apply for the $500 needs to
get in contact with Louis or
Betty Carlson, 676-5302, to
request the application form.
Applications will be received
for the next two months.

first birthday at Willow
Creek Terrace.
McDaniel moved to
the Terrace on Dec. 30,
2005. 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.
