Farmer’s market to

finishing touches to that
structure, washed windows
and cleared rocks from the
developing landscape area
near the front of the Ter-
race. They took time from
their morning labor, though,
to join the Residents in
exercises, a cookie break,
and the sharing of some
limericks, since it was, after
all, National Limerick Day.
(Interesting observation
from Manager Nairns after
searching for limericks on
the internet: limericks about
“old men” seem a dominant
category.)
The landscape area ad-
jacent to the Terrace is
shaping up quickly, now
that weather permits the
many jobs necessary for
completion. The sidewalks
have been poured. The wa-
ter system is in, some plants
have been placed in berms
that will eventually be fin-
ished with bark dust. Two
large spaces will eventually
feature cooling, calming
sod, and then outdoor seat-
ing will be a final touch.
Many volunteer super-
visors assess the progress
of that project daily and
offer suggestions. If the
one available apartment
becomes home to a new
Neighbor, one more su-
pervisor will be able to
contribute ideas for the new
park-like space. (Interested
parties are encouraged to
call 541-676-0004 for in-
formation on the Terrace
services.)
Staff enjoys participa-
tion with the Residents in
the variety of activities on
the Hill each month, but
they also have to focus on
their professional growth
and education on a continu-
ing basis. This month held
an opportunity that four
Staff members—Sue Baker,
Katilyn Jordan, Skylynn
Wolford and Jayme Petti-
bone—were able to benefit
from and then share with
their fellow staff members.
They attended a medica-
tions workshop in Condon,
offered by Oregon Care
Partners of Eugene, an or-
ganization that offers con-
tinuing education courses
throughout the state, often-
times at no charge—a great
service to rural Eastern
Oregon medical workers.
As this month fades
into history and June steps
in with its memory-making
events, Ralph Norton looks
forward to his 97 th birth-
day celebration. Ralph will
be the man-of-the-hour
on June 19, so he can ex-
pect many congratulatory
handshakes and pats on
the back as he shares his
special birthday lunch with
Residents, Staff, and other
friends and family. As al-
ways, the Community on
the Hill will view Ralph’s
birthday as one of the most
important events in June.
