City clarities dog
license requirements
The City o f Heppner
reports that it has recently
received numerous com
plaints of dogs at large in
the town. According to City
Manager Dave DeMayo,
many animals have been
captured and taken to Pet
Rescue in Hermiston.
The Heppner city code
requires that all dogs over
the age o f six months be
licensed. The licensing pe
riod covers Jan. 1 o f the li
censing year to Jan. 1 of the
following year; that is, Jan.
1,2012 to Jan. 1,2013. Li
censes cost $7 per year for
spayed or neutered animals
and $ 15 per year for those
that are not. A current rabies
immunization certificate is
required when applying for
a license.
The city is in the pro
cess o f notifying all dog
owners who have not re
newed licenses for 2012 or
who have been identified as
having unlicensed animals
on their property.
The pet licensing pol
icy, says DeMayo, helps
the city identify dogs that
are lost or picked up; in
most cases, the owners can
be identified and their pets
returned.
Anyone with questions
can call DeMayo at 541 -

A club for all
species
By Doris Brosnan
The games have begun,
and the residents view them
with great anticipation. The
competitors are nervous but
energized. The spectators
are eager for the contests
and eager to root on the
athletes. Are we talking
about the World Olympics
on satellite TV or the Ter
race Olympics live on the
Hill in Heppner? Both have
been and will continue to be
full of upsets and drama as
this week progresses.
While athletes from
205 countries gather in
London to dem onstrate
their skills on land and in
water, the contestants from
the rooms of Willow Creek
Terrace will gather to prove
their competitive spirit and
good-natured attitudes on
land and in the common
room , concentrating on
the Bulls Eye Game, WCT
G olf, Bocce Ball, Yard
Darts, Shuffle Board, Put
ting, Marshmallow Stack
ing, Biggest Smile Stretch,
and the “ G u ess-H o w -
M any-in-the-Jar” Game.
The scores will surely con
tinue to be close, as in the
golf competition, in which
one-half point separated
gold-medalist Marge Bur
gess from silver-medalist
Liz Buehler— four points
to three-point-five— and
another half point from the
tie for the bronze by Meg
Murray and Velma Felt,
each with three points.
The morning following
each competition will fea
ture a count of gold, silver
and bronze medals won in
the United Kingdom and at
the Terrace. The posted list
may capture the attention
o f all residents and staff
even before socializing
over breakfast.
O ther opportunities
for socializing on the Hill
abound each w eek, o f
course, and the summer
has brought an additional
nine weeks o f variety—
with learning and creativ
ity as bonuses— in the per
son of Julianne Carlson on
Tuesdays. Julianne will
continue her weekly offer
ings through August 21,
bringing new art education
or a craft project to the Ter
race each time she visits.
Participating residents will
have the option of entering
their individual crafts in the
Morrow County Fair this
month.
The ju ry is out on
whether or not garden pro
duce will be entry-ready in
three weeks, but produc
tion has been great and the
garden is certainly ready
almost daily for some pick
ing, pruning or weeding.
Already some vegetables
have been canned or fro
zen, as well as served fresh

addition to the fine garden
gifts from Carl and Geri
Martin, George and Myma
Seiler, Allen and Debbie
Scott, Jack and Jo Meligan,
Shirley George, and Jerald
and Leann Rea.
Some residents report
that they couldn't wish for
much more than the won
derful fresh fruits and veg
etables of summer, but Al
ice Buckley made a special
wish for her recent birthday
and it was granted: To have
both of her daughters here
for her special day. Man
ager Naims made a point
of capturing a picture of the
three women together early
in the visit, and then she had
it developed and framed
and in Alice’s possession in
time for the festivities.
On Monday, July 30,
Velma Wight celebrated
with a fried-chicken lunch,
joined by most of her fam
ily and several friends,
when she turned 95 years
young. On W ednesday,
more friends acknowledged
her special event when she
and about four other Terrace
neighbors had lunch at the
senior center.
Only four days later,
Virginia Wilkinson had her
special day, too. Virginia
was also able to request a
favorite lunch for Friday,
August 3, because she cel
ebrated her 91st birthday.
That day was to be made all
the more special with time
spent with her daughter
Pam, son-in-law Mark, and
husband Dick.
All of the residents rec
ognize the importance of
these special moments in
everyone’s life and view
them with great apprecia
tion, as they do, also, the
volunteer visits and activi
ties provided each week by
so many familiar names
and faces.
And it probably goes
without saying that they
view many of this month’s
special international and
national observances as
pretty satisfying, too: Joke
Day? “ 1 fo rg o t...” Day.
Fireworks and milkshakes
together. The birthday of
“American B andstand.”
Sunday S undae...w hat’s
not to like? And Junk Food
Day was a pretty good
one, maybe on an equal
footing with Ice Cream
Cone Day and Cheesecake
Day Of course, everyone
could rem inisce on Fox
Trot Day.
Yes, from private cel
ebrations, to large public
events, to fun “Olympic”
feats—sharing, caring and
fun continue to be watch
words at Willow Creek Ter
race, and residents and staff
continue to view them as
critical to their lives.
