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.
M ary E le a n o r G il
m an will be celebrating
her birthday on the 23rd,
so she and her neighbors
w ill have an esp ecially
significant lunch that day.
Just one week later, Flossie
Watkins will celebrate her
birthday, a fine way to draw
a conclusion to November.
Friends and family will en
joy these festive moments
w ith M ary E leanor and
Flossie, for the Community
on the Hill views birthdays
as the most significant days
in any month!
