Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, June 20,2012 - THREE A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan R esidents o f W illow Creek Terrace might view their luck with the weather as occasionally not the best: Last m onth during their observation o f “National Backyard Games Week,” rain and wind forced their games inside. On Monday o f this week, they had to observe “International Pic nic Day” inside because of the one day o f rain in over two weeks. Luck o f the ... Terracites? They have continued, how ever, to rem ain for tunate with most o f their plans, starting with their efforts on “Say Something Nice Day” on June 1. O f course, nice people usually do find saying something positive an easy assig n ment, so “nice” was preva lent on the Hill. Two days later, on “Cancer Survivors Day,” residents and staff held a m ean in g fu l c o n versation about how their lives have been touched by cancer, which led to a further conversation about dying, not always an easy topic to discuss. The morn ing visit on D Day evoked memories o f that day and o f Jim Norene's trip a few years ago to the European observance o f that impor tant event in World War 11. June 8 brought a tasty twist to “Jelly-Filled Doughnut Day” as the residents cel ebrated with straw berry- rh u b arb cin n am o n rolls from Willow Creek Diner. The halls w ere an echo o f parade noise on June 9, when residents sim ul tan e o u sly but in d iv id u ally in their rooms watched the Rose Parade telecast. R eaders w ho rem em ber now -rare soda fountains w ould have ap p reciated the discussion on June 10’s "B lack Cow Day.” R esi dents reminisced about the black cow— root beer floats created by the now -rare "soda jerks” behind those soda fountains. F a th ers' Day featured barbecued ribs and an ice cream cake, and fam ily visitors. The remainder o f June will of fer more thought-provoking topics, activities and tasty celebrations. The s u m m e r - l i k e w eather held last Friday evening for the visitin g G oldw ing m otorcyclists, who added a ride around the Terrace circular drive to their M ain Street p a rade. This visit stimulated some conversation among residents in anticipation of their ride-by, especially for Dean and M ary Eleanor Gilman, who remembered days o f riding together on Dean's bike. To celebrate summer, “ Music in the Park” pro gram s in Boardm an and lrrigon began this week. Several residents plan to attend a num ber o f these M onday-evening events. Summer weather is produc ing healthy-looking pro duce and weeds in the Ter race garden, so volunteer help is welcomed. Anyone who does come to thin some produce or dispatch some weeds cannot show fear, however, when they con front the garden scarecrow. One only needs to greet “ D allas” with a friendly “Hello” before going about his or her work. Recently, Peggy Davis received a big "Hello” from residents and sta ff when she moved into a Terrace apartment. Peggy moved to Heppner from Walla Walla to live closer to daughter Sharon Biddle. Peggy has moved into her new home soon enough for settling in before her birthday celebra tion. On June 28, she will be 95 years old. Soon after that, the staff will have the uncommon privilege o f preparing for an open house to honor a resident centenarian. On July 12, A lice B uckley, who has lived on the Hill for about three years, will celebrate her 100lh birthday. Her friends, fam ily and neighbors certainly view this com ing, m om entous occasion with great antici pation. lone Auxiliary to hold basket auction The lone American Le gion Auxiliary is collecting gift basket donations for si lent auction.
