This penalty is assessed once, regardless of the number of unreported tags. As of Jan. 6, about 50 percent of elk tags, 48 per- cent of buck deer tags and 60 percent of antlerless deer tags had been reported. Chance to win special big game tag Hunters who report on time are entered into a drawing to win a special big game tag.

HAVE YOU SHOPPED OUR NEW INFANT & TODDLER DEPARTMENT? moisture as much-needed, and everyone has enough options for indoor activities to keep them inside and dry. Residents and staff welcomed in the new year with a special, hearty break- fast and later with delicious crab cakes made with some of the crab meat that Colin and Erin Anderson brought as a New Year’s gift. The Terrace has a bird- identiication book in the living room and bird feed- ers in the yard, so residents were equipped for the 14 th annual Bird Watching Day on the ifth, although no one oficially participated in the Audubon Society’s annual bird count. The resident birds also take advantage of the birdbaths, even in the icy cold weather, even though they don’t have the added pleasure of bubble bath, which has its special day of celebration on the eighth. On the 15 th , residents and staff enjoyed National Hat Day with a morning discussion of the changing fashion and by donning some toppers for the day. Half the residents showed for breakfast in some great conversation pieces, and by dinner time, the tables were surrounded by a nice variety of chapeaus. Last week was Book Week, which was a good reminder to go through the Terrace’s book shelves to glean already-read books and take them to the Friends of the Library for their spring sale. The week also spotlighted Ed Struthers, Willow Creek Terrace residents participate in weekly Brain Games while decked out for Na- tional Hat Day. -Contributed photo who brings library books to the Terrace on a regular basis. Ed knows the prefer- ences of the many readers and makes sure that his rotation of volumes has something for everyone. Other devoted support- ers were honored at lunch when the community took advantage of Maintenance Day, on the 20 th , to thank the maintenance staff who keeps things running and looking good. Jerry Baker, Dan Sharp and Carl Laurit- son handle those tasks. The importance of the tin can was an interesting topic for the morning dis- cussion group on the 19 th , the day that celebrates the 1825 patent of the tin can. The importance of hugging seems to have received national attention recently, thanks to news of “profes- sional cuddlers,” so this made for some interesting morning conversation on National Hugging Day on the 21 st . The importance of laughter was highlight- ed on the 24 th , designated Belly Laugh Day. Jokes ruled, and every belly laugh burned up six calories! The importance of Irish Cof- fee might be debated, but the fact remains that this concoction has its special day on the 25 th , so the Ter- race celebrated with Irish- Coffee Cake. This week offers Cow- boy Poetry Day, and the residents and staff are hop- ing for a visit by a local cowboy who has a perfect voice for oral recitation of this genre. Also this week, everyone will be having a good time with Backwards Day on the 29 th , because a common sight will be cloth- ing worn backward, and the staff promises some addi- tional “surprises” that day. This January-beginning of another year will end with the NFL Pro Bowl on the 31 st , but everyone is encouraged to stay with the NFL a bit longer, because on Feb. 7 the Terrace will hold a Super Bowl party in the sun room. The fes- tive atmosphere will be enhanced with some special noshes and with the board that will be quickly illed by hopefuls taking some chances on the outcome. In the evening of the 31st, some residents expect to attend the Cabin Fever con- cert, an enjoyable outing that will sound great and provide some more belly laughs. Joining the Community on the Hill in time for some of this month’s activities is Ginnie Marshall. Ginnie was welcomed on the 18 th , and is now ready to add her welcome for the new resi- dent who will be moving in on Feb. 1. The Terrace has the welcome mat out and in- vites individuals who might be interested in life at Wil- low Creek Terrace to call 541-676-0004. The Terrace also has a part-time staff opening, and information on that position is available at the same phone number. Thus, the ongoing changes on the Hill...Some- thing that residents and staff always view as interesting. ELL, reading night receives warm reception with cool treats On a cold January night, almost 60 people had a freezing treat at Hep- pner Elementary School’s annual English Language Learners (ELL)/Reading Night this year. The group tasted ice cream from Mexico and the United States. They also learned that in China, rice is one of the ingredients used to make ice cream. Kathy Street shared in- teresting information about how the Oregon Trail Li- brary District can help par- ents and students at home. Deb Campbell described the Heroes program and the benefits for students and volunteers. Mary Ann Elguèzabal explained how students are identified for the English Language Learners program and the levels that the students need to reach before they can exit the program. She says she also likes to remind her students that knowing two or more languages is extremely beneicial when you are looking for a job. The speeches from the ELL students were declared the highlight of the evening as the crowd showed its ap- L-R: Owen Guerra, Yisage Yun, Milli Sanchez, Adrian preciation of the students Negrete, Emily Negrete and Adàn Guerra.
