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. On September 13,
the whole household will
get to select many delight
ful chocolate delicacies as
the day proceeds. Someone
has designated September
18 as the National Wear-
a-Tie-to-W ork Day. Staff
members will be looking
great in their ties, as will
some o f the residents, who

lone Education Foundation
lone Community School Pool
makes going back to school...cool
While stonny skies
kept the K-7 students inside
on the first day o f school,
clear skies on the second
day brought the sound of
cheers and cannon ball
splashes once again to the
lone PE program. Tradi
tion continues with the use
of the pool for PE classes
until October 1.
High school stu
dent lifeguards who run
the pool during the sum
mer months volunteer their
time for two hours per
day so that the younger
students can enjoy the 90
degree water. Funds from
the Willow C reek Park
District, community dona
tions, pool entry fees and
the lone School District
keep the 1950’s concrete
pool running each year.
Students learn the
basics o f sw im m ing in
shallow' and deep water
while also enjoying re
lay races and cannon ball
contests. At the end o f
the pool season, a Family
Swim Night will be held
to show off skills learned
by the K-5.
All photos by the lone Com
munications Class
invite members of the Valley
Community to also celebrate
the day by wearing a tie to
work. Good Neighbor Day
is on the 23rd, so residents
will be probably be going
that extra length to let their
neighbors know how much
each is appreciated.
A ppreciated dona
tions in recent weeks have
come as Garden H arvest
from Bob Taylor, Dorothy
Green, Floss Watkins, and
Bill West. Some o f that
fresh produce will comple
ment the Harvest Supper the
residents will enjoy on Sep
tember 30, as a welcome to
autumn. Residents and staff
will also be decorating the
residence on that day to fit
the new season, so the view
at the Terrace w ill be turning
into one o f wonderful, warm
earthy tones and might even
feature a view of a Hallow
een critter as Septem ber
turns into October.
