A view from the hill By Doris Brosnan Since the residents and staff at Willow Creek Terrace view volunteers and family as extra-special people, Septem ber 9 was an extra- special day. Invita tions to an ice cream social were sent to families and volunteers, and over seventy guests enjoyed the event that celebrated Grandpar ents Day and expressed the Terrace’s appreciation o f the many volunteers who help to make life on the Hill enjoyable. Last month, a con tinuing event at the Terrace that was enjoyably competi tive and full o f laughs was the “Olympic Competition.” In week four, the Biggest Smile event saw the gold medal go to Harriet Batty, with a 3V a " winning smile. Taking the silver with 3Vi' was Dot H alverson. And tying for the bronze medal w ere the 3'/4” sm iles o f Juanita Martin and Floyd Green. Week five o f the Olympics involved phys ics and aerodynamics: Pa per Airplane Flying. Floyd Green’s plane was the gold- medal winner, flying 149 inches. Elm er M eligan’s plane flew 130 inches, to win the silver. Irene Swan son took the bronze with her entry that flew for 110 inches. A lso last m onth, residents and staff at the Terrace saw the last o f the lunar eclipse, as planned. The Sun-Rise Party filled the patio with early, interest ed risers who had breakfast and discussed the fact that February 2008 is to feature another lunar eclipse, which everyone plans to watch. They w ere d isa p pointed, however, that they missed out on the Morrow C ounty Fair and Rodeo. Usually present at the pa rade and at the fair and arena events, they w ere quarantined this year. A bad bug victimized most of the residents and staff for a few days, so keeping everyone hydrated and keeping the. contagion from worsening was a challenge. The staff of the Terrace and Pioneer Memorial Hospital worked together to get the upper hand, under the leadership of Nancy VanderDoes (who had just stepped in to cover the managerial work during Manager Naims’s vacation), Sue Baker, and Diana Sharp. Pennie Miller, Peggy Lau- ritsen, and Sally Maddern are appreciated for coming up to help. D uring this d iffi cult time, many staff mem bers noted the extra work and the leadership role that Tina Davidson took. Many compliments and much ap preciation from the Terrace Board o f Directors, the Ad ministration, and the Staff go to Tina for her “going- th e -e x tra -m ile ” w ork in organizing housekeeping to prevent the virus’s spreading further. Job well done. Now that everyone seem s to be back on his or her feet, International Chocolate Day holds more interest.
