Shirley Hanson disputes recent reports that Harveys
Lake is going downhill, but would rather consider
recent events at the lake as simply changes, and
possibly changes for the better.
Mrs. Hanson, who, along with her husband, Donald,
owns Hansons’ Amusement Park, said the family is
closing the park this fall to devote full time to their
campground and to expand on the camping facilities
they already offer.
“Camping is the largest growing pasttime in the
United States,” said Mrs. Hanson. “We aren’t going
out of business altogether. We are selling the rides to
expand our camping area.’’
Besides the camping area, Hanson’s will also
continue to run their restaurant, arcade and public
gaeach.
& “Of course, the restaurant and arcade attracts a lot
of the local people, but we’ve had people camp here
from New Jersey, Texas, and even Florida,” boasts
Mrs. Hanson.
The Hansons have advertised their campground in
two national camping directories, “Trailer Life’ and
“Good Sam.” They will be listed in the 1985 directory,
but according to Mrs. Hanson, this isn’t the only
advertising they’ve done. !

“Word of mouth is the best advertising,” she
claimed. ‘‘A woman from California has already made
reservations to stay here while she is visiting family in
the area.”
The expanded camping area will be open to campers
by April 1 of 1985 and the season will run through
October 31.
“I think you’ll be seeing more people coming to the
lake, not less,” said Mrs. Hanson. ‘Campers will
bring more business to the local businesses, too.”
Shirley Javer, co-owner of Javer’s Store, may be
one of the business people who will profit from such a
resort.
“I’ve always felt that the campgrounds were a good
idea,” she said. ‘Perhaps it will bring more business
to the lake, but right now it’s hard to tell.
“The future of the lake is up in the air right now,”
she added, ‘‘but I don’t think it's going to be as bad as
everyone feels it’s going to be.”
Another area businessman, Richard Williams, owner
of May’s Place, isn’t worried about a drop in business.
“It’s true that the actual resortism has been
declining since people began moving here to live,” he
said, ‘‘but with it, the population increases. The lake
will just be used differently.
“The number of visitors has definitely declined, but
there’s still a lot who come here during the week-
ends,” he continued. ‘‘Many come on Sunday after-
noons just to drive around the lake.” :

Is it McDonald's? A new gas
station? Are they going to widen the
roads again? These are some of the
comments one may hear when pass-
ing by the excavation site, freshly
dug, at the corner of 309 and Mach-
ell Avenue in Dallas.
Actually, the site is being devel-
oped by ‘Sunrise Construction’ for
Dr. Jay A. Oehreiter and his wife of
MarivgVicGiane M.D.,
as a comprehensiv Ymedical center
where anything fxum a ‘‘Bunionec-
tomy to a Tonsillectomy’ might be
the order of the day. All of this is
possible too, since Dr. Ochreiter is a
podiatrist and Dr. McGrane, a prac-
tioner of Family Medicine.
The structure itself will house
varying medical specialties,
although names cannot be released
as yet. Of the many different suites,
the largest will be that of Drs.
Ochreiter and McGrane and will
include a testing room (EKG’'S
etc.), and a special resources room
where patients can learn about any
disorder or receive special instruc-
tions for their particular prablem:
Dr. Ochreiter fully supports ‘the
concept of preventative education
as well: From the bright yellow
“Feet Need Love, Too!’ ribbons on
the walls, to the plaster of paris
doorstop, (which is a foot), his
Kingston office is a haven of
reminders of what most of us pay
painfully little attention to: our feet.
Pamphlets and helpful hint sheets
abound. and patients can take their
choice of a vast array of literature
on the health of the foot.
To further increase the commu-
pity’s awareness of. preventative
medicine in podiatry and other
spheres, Dr. Oehreiter plang.
