After Harvest Party Community Gathering LIVE IC MUS FUN DINNE WCT residents prepare to watch the solar eclipse Aug. 21. -Contributed photo By Doris Brosnan After months of plan- ning and hard work, the view out the front windows of Willow Creek Terrace has developed into an invit- ing extension of the front lawn. Residents and visi- tors are welcomed on the approach, to the meander- ing sidewalks through an expanse of cooling grass, a variety of foliage in eye- catching berms, and furni- ture that says, “Come relax and spend some time!” The Community on the Hill will celebrate the completion of this project during the evening on Thursday with the many volunteers and donors—including the Hep- pner High School football team, who laid the sod— who made the vision come to life. The newly developed area has already been used by Residents. On Aug. 21 it was a perfect spot for the viewing of the solar eclipse. All but three Residents pulled up chairs, put on their viewing glasses and settled down for the almost- two-hour show while they enjoyed refreshments. They also had made some view- ing boxes for a different experience. A celebratory evening is a fine way to end this month that has included “the dog days of summer.” It has, however, also of- fered some days that were not too hot for enjoying the out-of-doors. Two such days featured a trip to the Morrow County Fair, which four Residents appreciated, and the day of the rodeo parade. Two Residents, Mary Eleanor Gilman and Carolyn Hall, rode the Ter- race float entry because their “roots grow deep in Morrow County.” Gilman is a life-long resident, born at home on Willow Creek, and Hall was raised in Ione and was a princess on the Mor- row County rodeo court of 1955. They brought home the honor of having been recognized as an outstand- ing “Court and Royalty” entry. The interest of a few Residents in rodeos and horses led Jayme Pettibone, a member of the Staff, to bringing by her horse re- cently. The Residents who enjoyed being able to pet, talk to and enjoy the scent of the horse also declined to saddle up for rides. Under 90-plus-degree days have also allowed some searching through the “jungle” in the Ter- race’s elevated garden. Great growing weather has resulted in an enclosure of huge tomato and cucumber plants. Somewhere within their foliage are some pep- per plants and some beets. Community lunch menu All Saints Episcopal and Hope and Valby Lutheran volunteers will serve lunch on Wednesday, Sept. 6, at St. Patrick’s Senior Center. Lunch will include chicken alfredo, egg noodles, seven-layer salad, sunshine carrots, garlic bread and cinnamon roll apple pie for dessert. Milk is served at each meal. Suggested donation is $3.50 per meal. Menu is subject to change. . For information please contact Exalted Ruler Justin Hoeft at jc_hoeft@hotmail.com or 541-379-1530 encouraging everyone to join them by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance on Sept. 15 at 11 a.m., to co- ordinate with others across our nation. Some discussion participants might decide to try to locate an old friend after that topic is explored on the 16 th . Hunting and fishing experiences will probably bring some smiles on the 23 rd , and then some more serious designations will round out the month’s morning discussions: Gold Star Mothers’ Day (24 th ), Ancestors’ Day (27 th ), and Native American Day (29 th ). Of course, some foods have their days of recogni- tion in September, though fewer than usual, so the menus will feature the fol- lowing: Coffee Ice Cream (Sept. 6), Chocolate (13 th ), the Ice Cream Cone (22 nd as of 1903), and Apple Dumplings (24 th ). The din- The Heppner High Mustang football team were among the many volunteers who made the renovations to the Willow Creek Terrace’s front lawn area a reality. -Contributed photo calendar. Labor Day will be a good one for discuss- ing their variety of jobs, as well as the importance of the labor force to America’s development. NFL season begins on Thursday, Sept. 7, so some football fans will begin sharing some Thurs- day evenings in the sun room. Grandparents’ Day, on the 10 th , will be an op- portunity to share remem- brances and maybe brag a bit about grandkids and greats. The National Day of Service shares the 11 th with Patriot Day, so these two ideas will be the morn- ing’s focus. Remember the Waltons? The conversation on the 14 th will be about that family—with strong values and morals—that began to entertain us in 1972. Just one day later, the Terrace will again participate in the “Pledge Across America,” so Residents and Staff are ing tables will certainly feature many more desserts throughout the month, in- cluding zucchini bread and cake, made from the dona- tions from kind neighbors. The September birth- day girls will be selecting their favorite menus on the fourth and the 11 th , when Bonnie Gates and then Barbara Struthers celebrate their special days with the Terrace neighbors and their families. The Friday-morning Brain Games have recently featured a new activity: Word Searches. The group is enjoying these challeng- es. The one that will be a snap to figure out, though, will be the one that includes “a four-letter word that means ‘look’ and “a seven- letter word that means ‘the great place to live.’ Obvi- ously, “view” and “Terrace” will be those two words! YOU’RE INVITED! R Ione Music in the Park Presents Come join the fun and give AFTER HARVEST thanks to our fellow citizens! CELEBRATION Celebrate the September 16th hard work of our Saturday, community Heppner Elks September 9th 6:30pm - Dinner Steak, baked potatoes, 4:00-8:00pm veggie, salad, rolls $15 per person 8:00 pm - Live Music by The Staci Lynn Ione American and Marshall Turner Duo Legion Hall Open to all Elks members, guests and potential or prospective members. Applications for membership in the Elks will be available to those over 21 years of age. The Community has en- joyed cucumbers—sliced, in salads, as bread and but- ter pickles—and has found some peppers. But tomatoes are just now ripening, and time will tell what the beets have been doing. This re- porter tried to work through the jungle for a cucumber to take home but gave up empty-handed. The garden crops are safe from the resident bunny, but the plants in the flowerbeds provide a smorgasbord for the cute little nibbler. Recently, on a walk-about, Marjorie Gorham shared several minutes of silent commu- nication with the rabbit, which showed no fear as it seemed to study her. September will bring cooler weather. It will also bring some of those “spe- cial, designated days of cel- ebration” that appear on the picking up bottles, debris and garbage. Survivors include his sisters, Lillian Boyce of Hermiston and Peggy Con- nor of Heppner, and numer- ous nieces and nephews. Memorial contribu- tions may be made to the Ione Educational Founda- tion, PO Box 61, Ione, OR 97843. Sweeney Mortuary of Heppner is in charge of ar- rangements.
