Folks in Wylie and sur-
rounding communities and
families of Hillcrest Manor
Nursing Home residents will
have an opportunity to meet
Ania Rust, new administrator,
at a family night barbecue at
6:30 p.m. Friday, April 14 at
the Home.
The western-style party will
feature a band and cake walk
and other entertainment. Hill-
crest will provide the
barbecue and visitors will take
covered dishes.
Petite, bouncy Ania (pro-
nounced Anya with a broad a)
comes to Hillcrest full of
vitality and ideas from a year
at C. C. Young Memorial
Home, Dallas where she
directed in-service education,
quality assurance, infection
control and medical records.
Before that position, she
was assistant director of
nurses at the prestigious
Walnut Place, Dallas. Other
management positions have
included a stint at Richardson
Manor Care Center and five
years at Wysong Clinic,
McKinney.
Ania's ailing grandfather,
whom she had never met,
was the reason she left her
family and farm life in Poland
at age 17 and came to the
United States. "I came for a
visit to take care of my
paternal grandfather, who had
left Poland before my father
was even born. But when I
got a glimpse of all the
opportunities, I knew I would
make America my home."
At one time, Ania was
juggling English classes at
night, nursing assistant
studies by day, driving
lessons, which also meant
learning all the strange new
traffic signs, and helping her
grandfather. She learned the
language quickly, picked up
her GED, became a nurse's
aide, and then completed LVN
training at the top of a class
of 47.
Wnen her grandfather died,
she focused all her energies
on her education. Full of
determination, she applied for
entrance into Barry College, a
Catholic girls' school in
Miami. But her application
was turned down because of
her English and reading
comprehension. This didn't
stop her. "I practically begged
them to let me attend/and
finally I got a letter saying
that the school had accepted
me on a tentative basis. I
didn't understand that darn
word tentative. Was it yes or
no? I rushed to a neighbor for
an explanation."
So, Ania became a college
student and also worked
fulltime as an LVN - and that
first semester she earned a
3.8 average.
She speaks rapidly and her
eyes tear as' ishe recalls the
hardships she overcame to
reach her goals. She
graduated with honors, but
she was not satisfied to be
"just a nurse." She wanted to
explore further studies.
One Valentine weekend,
some of the Navy men in the
Bahamas contacted the
college and invited several of
the girls to come to the
islands all expenses paid. The
school granted permisssion
and Ania, who insisted on
taking along her books to
study, was picked to make
the trip. "I didn't even take
my passport because I didn't
realize the Bahamas were out
of the country. Believe me,
that was the best time I'd
ever had." And that was the
weekend she met Roy, whom
she married in her senior
year. He is now a
metallurgical engineer with Tl.
With a husband in school,
caring for a baby daughter,
Angela, and working fulltime,
Ania went back for her
master's at the University of
Florida
After that hurdle, she
started courses on a
doctorate while working
fulltime. Then they moved to
Texas when their second
child, Kevin, was only two
days old. The Rusts now
make their home in Lucas.
A very special day in this
new director's life is July 4,
1974. That's when she
became a citizen after five
years. "That's the best day of
my life. Things really started
happening for me when I
came to America," she said,
smiling sincerely.
Her plans for Hillcrest? She
lists them in this order: Good
nursing care, clean envir-
Services Held
For Sidney E. Hare
The Rev. Don Yeager con-
ducted funeral services for
Sidney Elbert Hare, 47, at
Allen's Chapel in Wylie
Monday.
Hare died at Piano General
Hospital Saturday. He was a
produce manager for Tom
Thumb Food Stores. He was a
native of Del Rio and married
the former Donna Kay Rader
in Kaufman in 1976.
He attended the University
of Oklahoma and the
University of North Texas,
and belonged to Oak Lawn
United Methodist Church
Dallas.
Survivors include his wife;
children, Ricci Hare, Grand
Saline; Terri Alexander, Wy-
lie; Steven Alexander, Allen;
step-son, Gerald Baker,"
Altus, Okla.; brother, Almond
Hare, Dallas; half-brother,
Walt Burris, Dallas; and two
grandchildren.
Interment was in Blue Ridge
Cemetery. Allen Funeral
Home handled arrangements.
onment, good food, and
family satisfaction. "We need
an outside face-lift and
landscaping. Our residents
should not spend their days in
a rocker - inside. We have a
desperate need for an
enclosed patio so our
residents can be outside on a
beautiful day like today. They
need fresh air - it's free."
She added: "I'm going to
explore every avenue in order
to obtain transportation,
preferably a van, so that our
residents can enjoy activities
away from here. We have the
staff to handle it.
"I'm excited about satisfying
the needs here at Hillcrest,
and those needs are physical,
psychological and social.
That's what makes you
complete as a person.
"I want Hillcrest to be a
home that everyone wants to
be in and where everyone
wants to visit."
Ania credits her success to
American Business Women's
Association (which gave her
financial assistance in college)
and the support of many
caring teachers - even one
not so caring who inspired her
to succeed because the
teacher told her she couldn't.
The word can i doesn't exist
in Ania's vocabulary. "I always
remember that teacher who
told me I would never succeed
because I didn't speak English
well enough. When someone
tells me I can't do something
that only inspires me to
greater heights. I think about
the l-can in American - that's
what it's all about. To me,
only the sky is the limit."
