Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Heppner Garden Club announces August Yard of the Month winners Tucked away on a cul-de-sac at 464 W. Mor gan, the home o f Bernice and Randy Lott is surround ed by landscaping exuding an atmosphere o f serenety. Their eye for beauty, gar dening skills and hard work have earned the Lotts Au gust Yard of Month. Bernice and Randy met in Walla W alla, she having moved out west with her fam ily from K ansas during the dust bowl days, he a farm boy from Hatties burg, MS stationed at the Air Base. Married in 1946, they made their way across the C )regon/Washington bor der to Heppner, purchasing property and building their house in 1951. Their shaded front lawn greets the visitor with a riot o f color. This is pro vided by the many impatiens growing in the brick raised bed garden located beneath the picture w indow of their pastel yellow' house. Trees providing the shade include cherry, Ponderosa Pine, and fir. Between the impatiens and this border o f trees, potted petunias sporting patriotic colors highlight the American flag they so proudly fly. Fruit-bearing trees grow in the side yard. The Jonathon apple tree provides good eating apples, while the G ranny Sm ith apple tree provides good fruit for sauce. Both make great pies, and produce well due to Randy’s insistence on spray ing them each year. To these was added a sem i-dw arf Montmorancy cherry tree. Only in its second season, luscious fruit is yet to be harvested. A lo n g th e b a c k o f this house is a flower bed planted with petunias, Bernice and Kandy Lott snap dragons, red roses, and a Philadelphia Peace Rose given to the Lotts in memory o f their son, Don. The crowning glory o f the back yard is a rectangular garden now colorful with zinnias and marigolds, Irish potatoes, zucchini squash, carrots, corn, asparagus, turnips, and prom ises o f ju ic y red tom atoes. The corn seed planted this year is from Randy’s family farm in Mississippi. By switch ing to this strain Randy is hoping to avoid the serious smut problem h e’s had in recent years.

How and when do you break the news to the children that you are going to move? Let the youngsters know about the move as early as possible. The first reaction of some young children involve fear of the unknown. Teenag ers, on the other hand, may worry about leaving friends and envisioning their social life going down the drain. Offer the news in an honest and positive light. Knowing your children’s interests, show them how they can continue doing what they like to do in Wednesday, August 22 2007 - THREE the new place. If you visit the new location to look it over, take the children along. See ing things for themselves will help overcome that fear of the unknown. Remember, children are generally more adaptable than parents often give them credit for. Many experts recommend moving during the school year to help children get acquainted with new schoolmates faster, rather than moving during vacation and waiting months until school starts again. Few things beat the bus for making new friends. Properly listings are available at H H H'.svkesrealestate.net 188 W. Willow • P.O. Box 337 • Heppner.
