- is adm inistered by the
Umatilla-Morrow Education
Service District (UMESD),
thanks to the Em ergency
Response Crisis M anage

federal funding has helped to
pay for various safety and
crisis trainings for school
administrators and staff, au
tomatic external defibrilla
tors (AEDs) in schools, safe
ty presentations and safety
equipment in local school
districts.
The new Web site,
developed by the UMESD’s
Web designer Erika Lasater,
provides information about
how to respond to different
kinds of natural, chemical,
medical, violent and criminal
emergencies. It also provides
links to area emergency re
sponse ag en c ie s, public
health agencies, community
agencies and school districts.
It also has information about
upcoming events and train
ings related to community/
school safety, as well as in
fo rm atio n

the
U M E S D 's C risis F lig h t
Team, which responds to
schools in the event of a trau
matic event, such as a stu
dent or teacher death.
C om m unity m em
bers and school officials are
encouraged to utilize the site
to help prepare for disasters.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Several years ago, you
didn't need to ask, "Why buy
real estate?” Investors were
seeing 10-20 percent inflation,
so they sim ply bought,
watched the property appreci
ate and took the tax write-offs
allowed. However, in the past
several years, inflation has
quieted down. As a result of
the Tax Reform Act. investors
lost many of the write-offs
they had under the old tax
code.
Today, you should buy in
vestment property on the ba
sis of its economic soundness
J f j L S Y K E S
FI
instead of its tax benefits.
Have a plan or goal. Perhaps
you want to build an estate,
generate extra cash, or provide
for your children. You may
seek real estate as a way to
diversify your investments or
as a hedge against future in
flation.
Real estate is for the inves
tor who has patience and pa
tient capital. Think long term
- 5-10 years. When inflation
increases again (and it will),
it will be a lot easier to make
those payments that are pay
ing off the principal and mak
ing your equity grow.

A v ¡e w f r o m
the hill
By Doris Brosnan
The ten W illow
Creek Terrace residents who
a tten d ed E m i g r a t i o n to
Happiness on March 15 had
a perfect view of the stage
production at the Catholic
Church parish hall. Fr. Ger
ry C ondon had reserved
front-row seats for them.
They enjoyed the drama, the
music of the Sentimentalists,
and the evening’s dessert.
The St. P a tric k ’s
Day weekend celebration in
Heppner was especially en
joyable for the residents, as
they enjoyed several visitors
home for the festivities. Six
residents rode the bus down
town to watch the Big Green
Parade, and several went out
with family and friends to
enjoy the many activities on
March 17. Just the day be
fore, residents had had a
great view of some local tal
ent, when the Terrace was
the scene of a mini talent
show. Joe Lindsay led some
of the Heppner Elementary
students in song. Mary Ann
Elguezabal presented her
Sunday school class reading
poems and an Irish blessing.
Irish tenor Bill Kenny sang
some Irish songs, as did Joe
and Leanne Lindsay. Kenny
Turner tickled the ivories of
the Terrace’s piano, and Fr.
Gerry Condon contributed a
few jokes. A fine time had by
all.
On the day after the
busy Saturday downtown,
the residents were again en
tertained by the OF Time
Fiddlers, who often visit the
T errace. A to e -ta p p in g ,
hand-slapping good time.
On March 22, Mel
issa Anderson came to the
hill with one purpose in
mind: to pamper the resi
dents. Melissa, a Mary Kay
representative, again gave
some hand m assages and
care products. Participating
residents view that treatment
as welcome relaxation.
Gloves will be in or
der to preserve those tender
hands when the residents get
outside to plant the primros
es that Joan B asile and
Sheree Mahoney recently
gave them. They plan to sur
round the gazebo with col
or. The flowerbeds, too. will
soon provide a spectacular
view of colors and textures,
including some vegetables
and, maybe, a pumpkin patch
this year.
And color will be the
focus on April 6, when resi
dents will have an opportu
nity to color Easter eggs,
great as added decorations
for the season and great on
the menu!
Joining the other res
idents for this spring’s activ
ities is new neighbor Alber
ta Johannes. "Bert” joined
the Terrace family on March
5, just in time for a view of
the Willow Creek Valley be
low dressed in spring green!
lone School holds mini concert

c

students performed a mini concert. Groups of students played

A dun was sung by Christine Raihle and Thomas Holland,
accompanied on the piano by Eric Jepsen. In all. eight middle
school students and four high school students made for a great
show. Pictured is Carl Blaeuer playing with student Cory
Peterson.
Take pride in having your own little
piece o f heaven on earth
By Sylvia (I.add) Sandford
As I sat in my small
travel trailer in my reclaimed
h o m eto w n ’s RV Park in
E astern O regon I was
amazed at the scenery and
took in a deep breath to
allow the change to soak into
my senses. 1 saw lush green
grass, beautiful old tall trees
and newer trees waving in
the wind back and forth as if
they were rocking a restless
child to sleep.
I looked past the
detailed landscape of the city
park, and could see the
downtown businesses that
keep our small community
alive and w onder how
anyone could ever leave this
small, untainted piece of
heaven. I also wondered in
my abundance of free time,
now that school had
restarted for the year; if you
invested in a portion of
heaven wouldn’t you try to
secure it? Try to maintain the
q u ality or value o f that
investment? W ouldn't you
want to be able to walk or
drive by your home and be
proud of what you have?
Small Town America
has come and gone in many
other States. 1 have Jived in
other areas where a town
was once just that, a town;
and then in the following
next five to ten y ears
“boomed” into a city. What
happens to the "locals" you
might ask? They either move
onto another area that isn't
grow ing as fast, or they
possibly ride it out and adapt
to the growth. Some even
prosper from it by selling
th eir farm lan d to the
developers who are bringing
the growth with them.
I chose to com e
home to my small piece of
heaven after living on and off
again in the over populated
East Bay area in California.
Family pulled me there twice
over that last four years but
this last move tore at my
heart more than ever. With a
family of two small children,
I wanted the quality of life
that I had, for them. I wanted
them to have every
opportunity that I had to
succeed in school and extra
curricular activities. I found
w hile in C a lifo rn ia my
children were the politest of
most their classmates. Then
upon m eeting the o th e r
parents, found out why. We
lead by example; we are role
models and need to lay the
foundation for our children
to continue thriving in rural
America as quality adults
and citizens.
I guess what I am
trying to get across is the
ideal of taking care of what
you have, being proud of
who you are and making
your community proud of
your "choices”. We live in a
small farming community
that e v ery o n e know s
practically everything there
is about us. W hether we
know it or not. But my
children are basically my
com m unity’s children and
we are all family. We support
one another, we trust one
another, and we call upon
each o th er for help and
guidance. So if we are truly
that close; then we need to
really open our minds to
making our community the
best it can be. We have a
scenic highway right through
our com m unity, we offer
several yearly celebrations
that draw h u n d red s o f
people to our town and we
have community leaders and
volunteers that work very
hard to m ain tain our
livelihoods and pride. Our
town lives on volunteers and
I am excited to become more
involved in the future of my
hometown.
So as 1 looked back
out my w indow o f my
temporary home across the
City Park with lush, green
grass and waving trees that
rock in the comforting winds
in o u r little valley. I
rem em ber lone in 1970,
walking down Second Street
to my best friend's house.
Looking at the beautiful
yards and old homes that
stood so tall. Children riding
their bikes and climbing trees
with no cares in the world.
It is so good to be home. The
skies seem bluer, the clouds
w h iter and the w inds
stronger. But the faces are
the same and my best friend;
is still living here, just on
Third Street now.
Everyone should get
a chance to own a piece of
heaven on earth; but you
have to take care of it first
and always. Be proud of who
you are and where you live.
We live in a huge puzzle and
each piece needs to fit
together to make the picture
perfect.
