Price Reductions of Over 40% BANK-OWNED COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES IN HEPPNER AND IONE Wednesday, November 5, 2014 - FIVE A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan Ja ck -o -la n te rn s out! Pumpkins in! A small dis tinction. but a transition from the m onth o f H al loween on to symbols of harvest and Thanksgiving has given residents and staff at W illow Creek Terrace 30 days o f new activities to ponder. October not only fea tured little ghosts and gob lins and conversations o f Halloweens Past but also p resen ted o p p o rtu n itie s to re m in isc e and share opinions on other matters. Whether to get flu shots or not carried a unanim ous “yes” and staff and resi dents lined up on the 2 151 for the seconds o f discomfort that offered a season o f flu prevention. This o p p o r tunity came on the heels o f “ Infection Prevention Day” on the 19,h, the day of reminders to take some simple preventive measures against flu and other “bad bugs”— washing, washing and washing hands being the easiest and most im portant. Whether or not to get up for the early morning lunar and solar eclipses garnered almost a unani mous “no” opinion. A few residents wondered if they might be awake for “some other reason” and take a peek at the sky. One topic that proved entertaining was on “Mu sic Day” on the 10th. The discussion brought memo ries o f years-ago music, of parents’ opinions o f their children’s listening options and choices, and o f how each generation thinks its music is new even though it is sometimes a remake o f music once listened to by the previous generation. On another interesting subject, on “Old W ives’ Tales Day” (the 20th), resi dents shared their opinions o f the validity of some old w ives’ tales and o f some home rem edies that their parents used and remedies that they also used, includ ing mustard plasters, flax seed poultices, castor oil, mineral oil. The opinion on “Bos ton Creme Pie Day” (27th) was alm ost unanim ously positive, as was the opin ion o f the Walt D isney movie industry that came into theaters on Oct. 27 in 1954. Residents also had opinions about some o f the Disney movies, including Residents and staff at Willow Creek Terrace hope the com pletion of this new addition will give them something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. -Contributedphoto the recent hit. Frozen. S om e e x c ite m e n t piqued residents’ interest on Nov. 1, when Lil Boyce moved in. Lil is a long-time resident o f Heppner, a fa miliar and friendly face for most o f the Terrace com munity. The welcome mat was out for her, matching Lil’s personality. Nov. 1 was also “fall back” time, since no one wanted to w ait until the middle o f the night to reset clocks. This was the day designated at the Terrace for changing batteries in clocks and other battery-operated gadgets in each apartment. Political opinions vary among Terrace residents, so the Tuesday election results were o f interest. The cessa tion o f political advertise ments on TV was a relief. Some residents plan to attend the Heppner High School veterans assembly next Monday, paying trib ute to the area’s service men and women. The public is encouraged to attend the morning assembly. T h an k sg iv in g is an other special day to look forward to. A lready, 10 friends and family members have reserved places at the noontime table, and some residents have made plans to go out for the holiday gathering. Still a question is, “ Will the new addition be ready for use on Thanks- g iv in g ? ” R e sid e n ts are enjoying their “sidew alk supervisor” opportunities is progress is made. The structure is now enclosed and the w indows are in, as closer and closer comple tion nears. S om e o f th e o th e r Jays o f significance on the Novem ber calendar will stimulate some lively dis cussions: “Tongue Twister” 7th), “ W orld K in d n ess” 13th), “Teddy Bear’s 1902 Birthday” (14th), “America Recycles” (IS“1), “Humane Society’s 1954 Birthday” (22nd), “National Adoption Day” (23rd), “Your Unique T a le n t” (2 4 th), “ S quare D ance” (29th), and “G iv ing Sunday” (30lh). Trying on some tongue tw isters should be entertaining, and maybe some residents will be willing to demonstrate their unique talents or their square-dancing skills. R e sid e n ts w ill also be enjoying their weekly Bingo games on the Hill and, for some, down at the St. Patrick's Senior Center. They look forward to the Tuesday-afternoons piano music in the common area, the reading o f the Heppner Gazette-Times on Wednes day, and the variety of ac tivities offered by different visitors on Thursdays and Fridays...all opportunities to leave their apartments and enjoy some stimulating social events.
