celebrate 60 years
of marriage
A View from

Hill
By Doris Brosnan
R ecently read and
discussed at Willow Creek
Terrace is this poem that
residents and staff agree is
filled with truth and good
advice:
"Smiling is infectious;
you catch it like the flu.
“ W hen s o m e o n e
smiled at me today, I started
smiling too.
“I passed around the
corner and someone saw
my grin.
“ When he smiled, I
realized I’d passed it on
to him.
“I thought about the
smile; then I realized its
worth.
“A single smile, just
like mine, could travel
round the earth.
“ So, if you feel a
smile begin, don’t leave it
undetected.
"Let's start an epidemic
quick and get the world
infected!”

This discussion was
part o f the T e rra c e ’s
o b s e r v a tio n o f th e
National Week of Sharing
a Smile with Everyone You
Meet, August 5-9. Other
thoughtful discussions in
August: forgiveness on
the International Day of
Forgiveness (4th), families
on National Family Day
(11th), and angels on Be-an-
Angel Day (22nd).
A u g u s t’s s p e c ia l
days ended with one that
needed no discussion, since
everyone agreed that eating
on the patio would be a
perfect way to observe Eat-
Outside Day on the 30th.

with outings for Terrace
re s id e n ts , w hen they
attended Music in the Park
in Heppner, on the 29th, and
they continued to satisfy
their interest in music and
enjoy the out-of-doors by
traveling to Music in the
Parks in Boardman on Aug.
5.
Nine residents again
caught the bus to Music
in the Park in Heppner on
Aug. 15, but they were
in for a surprise when the
thunderstorm and deluge
chased them and the
musicians into the nearby
Lutheran church.
Several residents also
enjoyed the parade on Aug.
17, and their trip to the
fair earlier that week was
especially satisfying. Upon
arrival, they first realized
that their fair booth had
earned a first-place ribbon
and the People’s Choice
Award. As they cruised
around the departments,
they soon could see that
several residents had also
earned ribbons on a variety
of entries, from Bud Batty’s
potatoes to Velma Wight’s,
Barb Struthers’s, Bud’s,
Alice B uckley’s, Mary
Eleanor Gilman’s, Lois
Allyn’s and Liz Buehler’s
many craft entries. The bus
on the ride back to the Hill
was festooned with ten red,
white, and blue ribbons. (At
age 101, Alice Buckley had
to be, the staff is certain, the
oldest exhibitor this year.)
B ud’s potatoes are
among the few vegetables
harvested this year from
the Terrace’s deer- and
weather-challenged garden.
Residents have enjoyed
fresh tomatoes, corn and
early peas, but they expect
to only dig onions and beets
later, a far cry from their
usual bounty.

Dion, Terry and Cheryl
Tallman, and Jan Stroeber,
and thoughtful people at
Columbia River Harvest
and Relay for Life, have
been kindly sharing some
harvest.
As Labor Day marks
the end of most harvests
and summer, thoughts turn
to fall activities. Joining in
for some of these coming
events will be new resident

ODFW confirms wolf depredations
On Aug. 23, Oregon
Department of Fish and
W ildlife confirm ed a
depredation by the Imnaha
wolf pack.
ODFW is working to
determine if the depredation
counts as a “qualifying
incident” toward a lethal
control decision. (For a
depredation to qualify, the
affected landowner must
have been using at least
one preventive measure
and removed all reasonably

meaning the landowner
was using appropriate
preventative measures to
minimize wolf-livestock
conflict. ODFW is waiting
on in fo rm atio n from
the livestock producers
to determine if the two
confirmed Imnaha Pack
depredations from Aug.
21 and 22 are qualifying
incidents.
F rid ay , ODFW
announced the agency
has posted the Conflict
Deterrence Plan for the
Umatilla pack. ODFW stated
it had many discussions
with livestock producers
in the Umatilla River Pack
area about the appropriate
non-lethal measures to
minimize conflict with
wolves. These discussions
led to development of this
plan, and its provisions
are being implemented by
many producers already.
Sept. 7, 2013. The couple
was married in 1963 in
Oregon City, where Corrine
had grown up.
Larry was born in
Pendleton, but grew up
on the family farm in the
North Lexington area. They
met while attending the
University o f Portland,
where they were both
valedictorians o f their
classes two years apart, she

in business/pre-law. After
graduating from UP Larry,
who was bom in 1937, was
attending law school at
Georgetown University in
Washington, D.C. when his
father, Alex, died of a heart
attack at the age of 44. Being
an only child, his father’s
death prompted Larry’s
return to Lexington in 1960
to take over operation of
the family farm that his
parents, Alex and Rosella,
had homesteaded.
Corrine, who was bom
in 1939 in South Dakota,
moved with her parents to
Oregon City when she was
a child. She majored in
chemistry at UP and was a
Fulbright Scholar, spending
a year in Germany on the
Fulbright Scholarship.
She gave up a career in
chemistry to become a
