FOUR - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, April 22, 2015 A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan Some Willow Creek Terrace residents and other readers noticed that last month’s column referred to “today’s” St. Patrick’s Day activities on the Hill, but the column appeared in the March 18 issue of the Ga- zette Times. A big “Oops!” and on to more opportuni- ties to make mistakes.... While waiting out the cool weather and the long flu season, residents have mostly stayed at home, enjoying their newspa- pers, books, TV shows and conversations with their neighbors. And one cannot forget the pleasure on those special days dedicated to gastronomic delights. Sig- nificant honorees on the Terrace menus in April and coming in May include OJ, the Hoagie sandwich, apple pie, chocolate chip cookie, devil’s food cake, strawber- ries and cream, hamburgers, buttermilk biscuits, the butterscotch brownie, and cherry cobbler. Interesting to note that an entire 10 days, May 15-25, will be celebrating “the pickle.” Though morning con- versations tend to focus on the broad range of absorb- ing, abstract and absurd, many this spring are on serious topics. “Teachers Appreciation Week” al- ways stimulates memories of school days, for previ- ous students and retired teachers. “Nurses’ Day” at the Terrace is importantly designated for showing the local medical and ad- ministrative staffs at the clinic, the hospital and home-health/hospice how appreciated they are. For everyone, “Mothers’ Day” will be an opportunity to remember—to remember mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts—to remember experiences as mothers. It will also be a fine day for families who wish to make the day special for their relatives. “Armed Forces’ Day” might be a day of discussion more poignant than usual, for this year’s calendar also designates May 16 as “Wear Purple for Peace Day.” And “Memorial Day” will bring more somber conversations, but oppor- tunities for some positive memories as well. Summer flowers at the Terrace might be showy by “Flower Day,” on May 20, so residents might include a stroll near flowerbeds after a morning conversation about “blue jeans,” which celebrates the 1873 inven- tion of the riveted denim “overalls” designed to pro- tect the working man’s underclothing. Such is the early start of one of today’s most ubiquitous fashion choices. Providing background sounds on May 23 for breakfast and morning con- versations might be those of familiar jazz bands. “Inter- national Jazz Day” might even bring out some toe tapping and finger thump- ing as residents enjoy the music on the discs a jazz fan gifted the Terrace some years ago. “Senior Health and Fit- ness Day” on May 27 will be a good opportunity to discuss everyone’s health and to provide a segue into the information on the new wellness program that Cindy Johnson has introduced to the Terrace staff. Details are yet to be completed, but the three- month program will address the well-being of the staff members who buy into the challenge. Through their honor-system record- keeping and journaling, participants will be working toward improved individual health, with winning some of the ante money a bonus. May will end with a discussion of news and newspapers. May 30 cel- ebrates the first U.S. daily newspaper, the Pennsyl- vania Evening Post, first printed in 1783. Several residents subscribe to the East Oregonian and the Heppner Gazette-Times and appreciate the commu- nal reading and discussion of the Gazette on Wednes- days, so Willow Creek Ter- race remains a bastion of fans of the printed page, and the residents view that fact with pride.

EXCHANGE STUDENT -Continued from PAGE ONE because I’d never been to be really good, like when we go out and have steaks, which are really good here. The school sports activities. In Germany we don’t have those. We just have school.” Did you have the chance to attend any special events? What did you think of that experience? “Homecoming. That was very cool. I had no clue what I was supposed to do an event like that. It was different.” Any other thoughts? “It’s a really interesting experience. I thought, ‘I’ll go to America. It will be fun.’ It was so completely different than I thought it was. Everything is so gigantic. It’s harder than I thought. It’s hard work to be an exchange student.” Mustangs defeat Tiger- Scots in double-header Mustang Will Lutcher tags a TigerScot player during last Saturday’s double header.
