FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 9,2007 A view from the hill By Doris Brosnan If April showers do bring May flowers, Willow Creek Terrace will soon be in the midst of a cacophony o f w onderful colors and scents. The views, front and back, o ffer a v ariety o f plants, and already Joanne B urleson has brought in flowers and plants from the Heppner Garden Club and the Heppner High School Honor Society brought some May-Day flowers for each resident. April brought a va riety of activities, as well as rain, so residents could be as busy indoors as they chose. Janet Greenup and g randchildren R iley and Evan Kollman, and Hanna Lovgren, and Alena Wilson joined everyone on the 6th for Easter-Egg decorating. Easter Sunday saw several residents leave for at least part of the day with families. On A pril 11, the Heppner High School World Cultures class shared some of what they have learned about Hawaiian traditions, food, art work, and even the hula dance. M elissa A nderson, the Mary Kay representative, returned on April 12 to treat everyone interested in some foot care. Who could say “no” to a relaxing soaking, trimming, and massage? Residents attended the Willow Creek Sympho ny Concert on April 15, en joying the reserved seating arranged by Shari Stahl. They appreciated that kind ness and the assistance as they entered and left the bus. A p ril w as also a month of birthdays on the Hill. Mary Goheen celebrat ed with neighbors on April 1, Elmer Meligan saw anoth er year added to the birth day candles on April 5, and Juanita Martin celebrated her second birthday at the Ter race on April 20. This month, on the 24th, Irene Swanson will celebrate her birthday again with a gathering and a favor ite treat. May will also bring a few more celebrations. For National Nursing Week, the Terrace residents and staff have in v ited the Hom e Health and the Hospice nurs ing staff to join them for lunch. A special M others Day luncheon is planned for this Sunday. And residents plan to attend the Heppner High School stage produc tion later this month. Sadly, next Monday will be Duane Jones’s last day with Willow Creek Ter race. Duane has been one of the most dedicated volun teers on the Hill, especially reliable as a Bingo caller ev ery Monday. When he and his wife, Kathy, move from Heppner, the residents and staff will miss his jokes and cheerful smile. The residents hope to soon be greeted for Bingo with another cheerful face. And they hope to soon be able to greet another new neighbor to Willow Creek Terrace. An apartm ent is available, so some view this as an opportunity to forge another friendship with a new neighbor.
