New businesses blossom in”” “Pisgah Public Market

If you have recently been “downtown” you may have noticed that there are some new business. For example, Dari Market, Cioppino House, Just Move, and Urgent Care, among others..

Cioppino House is the new Italian res-taurant. Cioppino House is owned by Bon-nie and Jack Ferrara who have lots of expe-rience in restaurants. Bonnie Ferrara said on her website “I love to make people happy and the best way I know how to do that is serve them good food at a good price in a simple yet elegant atmosphere.”

Just Move is the new dance, fi tness and yoga studio. So, instead of going into town, paying more money, using more gas, you can go to the Pleasant Hill location now. This dance studio also offers classes in Yoga, NIA, ballet, pilates, strenght and con-ditioning among others. Just Move even has classes for kids age 3-6.

Classes are described as fun, non-im-pact, high-energy movement which condi-tions the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. “With moves and music to inspire joy, the choreography draws from a blend of dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts.”--web-site.

Most of the time, when people have an injury or are in need of a checkup, people from Pleasant Hill and Oakridge have to drive into Springfi eld or Eugene, but not now. We have an Urgent Care unit in town.

That saves a lot of money and time, espe-cially for emergencies.

“Residents from Pleasant Hill to Oakridge now have a closer option than Eugene or Springfi eld if they need to see a doctor for fl us, sprains or other non-life-threatening illnesses or injuries. The Clinic will offer a wide range of medical services, including treatment for cuts, sprains and strains, fractures as well as common medi-cal conditions such as the fl u, coughs and sore throats. They are open seven days a week, no appointments necessary.”

Now, for a store that is very handy, Dari Market. There are hundreds of Dari Mart locations in Springfi eld and Eugene but no one wants to drive into town just to get a few groceries or a soda. But the Dairy Market offers so much more. On a YELP review one patron said that Dairy Market had a “Good selection of almost anything you might need in a quick run, including produce, baking supplies, toiletries, canned goods, dairy, frozen foods, fresh meat (some beef from Knee Deep Cattle Co.!), and cage-free eggs from Willamette Valley Farms... They also offered a fair selection of quality cheese and deli items. There’s a hot food case up front with pizza pockets and all the other terribly delicious gas station fried food you could dream of eating. Defi -nitely a lunch stop for the working crowd.”

For some who may have not noticed, the science labs are different this year. There are no labs set up in the back of the classroom. No teenagers messing with the equipment, but also no labs to actu-ally do science with. What are we going to do about this? Will our science experi-ence be forever altered this year?

In Mr. Dube’s Environmental Sci-ence class, most teens love the movies he presents. A select few students wish that science was more science and less movies and boring worksheets. It de-pends on who you talk to and the science teachers usually have the best insight. Mr. Dube teaches Environmental Science for juniors and seniors.

Dube states clearly, “This is not a very big issue, we can just use virtual labs instead of science labs.” When asked about how he would do labs in the future he said, “Once again, it’s not really a big issue, but we could use some sinks and sturdy lab tables at some point after the

Seeing Pleasant Hill High school be de-stroyed was a diffi cult experience for Bruce Patterson.

Patterson not only attended PHHS but has also worked for the district for 25 years, retiring this year as head of maintenance.

P a t t e r s o n used to walked down the same hallways we did and our parents did. Generations of people have walked down those now-gone hallways, learned in those classrooms, and developed friendships all over school. So many things have happened inside that school that most of us don’t even know about. Now that it's gone imagine the millions of memories wiped away with the building.

Patterson now works as a consultant for Pleasant Hill School District as a liaison with the Contractor, Chambers Construc-tion. He checks in on the contractors to make sure everything is going smoothly and he reports any problems or issues.

A school that was fi fty four years old must have had some secrets, right?

Patterson discovered in the locker

room, behind the lockers, some old papers and pictures. He also found two mummifi ed cats.

If the school contained items like that, just think of all the secrets the people in the school hold.

The people who went to the school before us held the real se-cret and memo-ries of the old school.

Unfortunately, Patterson found no time capsule or records to tell us how to get through high school drama and other issues.

But talking to Bruce Patterson let me know that the school holds no secrets. Peo-ple do. And if you really want to know more about the school ask someone who's attend-ed here before.

But if you really, really want to wonder about something right now, wonder who’s gum is stuck underneath the desk.

At our new school the secrets will come from us, and generations of people in front of us will wonder what the school’s secrets are and only then, we will know because we hold the school’s secrets.

construction is done.” “The construction doesn’t really af-

fect the way I teach currently and there really hasn’t been any problems.” Mr. Dube also said, “If anything, we need more science teachers, because then we could teach more areas of science.”

More science teachers could improve the outcome of successful students in sci-ence for the years to come. Inspiration and motivation for students to be inter-ested in science could stem from having efficient labs and study tables to perform these labs on.

Overall, science has not been al-tered, we will do labs just a little differ-ently this year, and science will proceed as normal. Life will go on and science will not be the biggest issue to deal with. If anything, in the future, science teach-ers will be needed and hopefully after construction the funding will be provided to hire a few.
