A view from the hill By Doris Brosnan Some residents view additions to the Friday, weekly routine at Willow Creek Terrace as definite posi tives in their lives. Joining the St. Patrick Catholic Church representatives who provide some Friday afternoon activi ties are members o f the Heppner High School National Honor Society. Enhancing the Friday morning exercises are the “Brain Games” that participants are enjoying. These large crossword puzzles are challenging enough that residents would benefit from and truly appreciate a current “crossword puzzle dictionary.” One need not puzzle over reasons for these and other activities on the Hill, for variety and national uesignations direct the selection o f events to recognize every month. Special days provide some truly enjoyable moments for residents, as when residents noted “Cherish an Antique Day” last month. They held a lengthy discus sion o f favorite antiques and also decided that they are pretty good antiques, themselves. When they discussed the “National Siblings Day” in April, they enjoyed shar ing many stories o f childhood and their brothers, sisters, and cousins. As May began with “National Hug Holiday,” residents and staff started the month feeling pretty good, since they received and gave many hugs through the May 2-8 week. Staff member Lori White treated everyone to an authentic Mexican meal on Cinco de Mayo, May 5. Although not a nationally recognized holiday, Lois Allen’s birthday was an important event on May 9. Many national recognitions have followed, including, believe it or not, “Dance Like a Chicken Day.” Laughs galore resulted when some staff and residents strutted their funky chicken interpretations, and “laughter is good for the soul,” some wise person said. Even when weather prevented play out side on “National Backyard Games Week,” the undaunted Terrace inhabitants played on, inside, and also learned a new game, Bocce Ball. The month will bring a few more special days, including “National Hamburger Day” and more serious Memorial Day, which will provide the op portunity to reminisce about loved ones. Could the Terrace residents be “feeling the love” of more valley neighbors? The visitors and donors lists seem to grow almost monthly, and names noted recently include George and M yma Syeler, Mary Lou Wilson, Cecil Jones family, Jack and Jo Meligan Shirley Rugg, Joan Basile, All Saints Episcopal Church, and members o f the Heppner High School choir. Other members of the Heppner High student body lent a hand on “Mustang Mop-Up Day” by coming to the Terrace to help plant more flowers and vegetables and to wash the van. The garden is now almost fully planted with food for the table and freezer, but some vegetables will be planted on a rotation basis, so the garden will continue to change its personality. Much o f the major work in the garden has been accomplished by residents with years o f valuable experience. Each resident and staff member at Willow Creek Terrace is viewed as a valuable member o f the community, and these community members hope to welcome some new neighbors again soon. Apartments are available, so persons interested in information about the facility is encouraged to call 676-0004. Soon, “Welcome to the Terrace” might again echo down the halls.
