A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan At Willow Creek Ter- race, August began with a day that included a tribute to Raspberry Pie and ended with the day that included the “Eat Outside” designa- tion. Between those, resi- dents and staff also enjoyed days recognizing the ice cream sandwich, water- melon, the waffle, lemon meringue pie, lemonade, and the peach.... No better place for acknowledgment than in the dining room, of course! The dining room is now refurnished with new tables and chairs. Daily use, three times a day, eventually took its toll on the originals that lasted seven years longer than the five they were guaranteed to serve, so no complaints. Dare one hope that the wonderful replace- ments will last as well? Sadly, two familiar faces no longer grace the dining room with their posi- tive presence. Elizabeth Bueller moved to La Grande on Aug. 20. Her upbeat nature and enthusiasm are missed. Liz’s interesting stories and enduring curiosity will surely be appreciated by her new neighbors. The six residents and the staff who were able to attend Rose Bergstrom’s memorial service on the 28 th truly saw it as a celebration of a wonderful person’s life. And the plants in the flow- erbeds will surely show the loss of Rose’s attention and tender touch. Three residents and three staff were able to travel to Boardman for the celebration-of-life service for Alvina Padberg on Aug. 8. Five residents attended Music in the Park on Aug. 16. And five residents jour- neyed out to the fair for a day of entertainment, ap- preciation of fair entries, and good fair food. Later in August, on the 25 th , the day’s topic was “The Wizard of Oz,” which was released in 1939 but continues to satisfy fans today, showing on TV and available on disc. On Sept. 4, the morn- ing discussion included Gilligan’s Island. Although Births Mark Christian Corbett—Kimberly (Pointer) Corbett and Brett Corbett of Sau- salito, CA announce the birth of a son, Mark Christian Cor- bett. Christian, as he is known, was born Aug. 28, 2015 in San Francisco, CA. He weighed 8.5 pounds and was 21 inches long. Grandparents are Mark Pointer of Lexington and Cathie Mark Christian Corbett Pointer of Hermiston, and Sandra McLeod and Dick Corbett of Gladstone, OR. the comedy showed on TV for just three seasons (the last episode broadcasted in 1967), reruns of the show continue to entertain view- ers today. Both productions are examples of cultural icons that hold appeal for multiple generations. Sept. 4 was also “Eat an Extra Dessert Day,” the first of the month’s specially designated food days. September will also highlight some interesting topics for the residents to discuss: On the sixth, they needed no encouragement to “Read a Book,” and the seventh began a week’s “Appreciation of Substitute Teachers” and discussions of related experiences. The start of the NFL Season on the 10 th will need no discussion, but many TVs will be tuned to the opening game between the Steelers and the Patriots. Grandparents’ Day is on the 13 th , an opportunity for many stories and much reminiscing. The 13 th also begins a week honoring As- sisted Living, so residents might find morning con- versations totally pertinent. Again this year, the Community on the Hill will participate in “Constitution Day.” On Sept. 18, residents and staff will take time at 11 a.m. to join the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the same time across the nation. Nation- wide, people are invited to make the pledge at the 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Every- one interested in or curious about this endeavor can access information at www. celebrationusa.org. Two more September celebrations at the Terrace carry special significance: Bonnie Gates celebrated her 95 th birthday with neighbors and family on the fourth. Barbara Struthers will en- joy her special day on the 11 th , when she will turn 94. These celebrations and the welcoming of new neighbors expected this month are viewed with unmatched pleasure. ‘Kennewick Man to Sacagawea’ tour planned for October The Mustang runner on the right was incorrectly identified in last week’s Gazette as Madelyn Hunter. Running in the girls’ middle school race were (right L-R) Hannah Palmer (ninth place) and Madelyn Nichols (second place). -Contributed photo Chamber lunch meeting The next lunch meeting of the Heppner Chamber of Commerce will on Thursday, Sept. 17, at noon in Hep- pner City Hall conference room.

The Morrow County Historical Society invites local history buffs to par- ticipate in a “Kennewick Man to Sacagawea” tour on Saturday, Oct. 24. This seven-hour tour will start at the East Ben- ton County, WA museum. Participants will be able to get close to a replica of the ancient bone found on the banks of the Columbia River in 1996. The story of Kennewick Man, interest- ing and controversial, is still unfolding. Additional museum highlights include color- ful displays depicting the hardships and successes experienced by the area’s founding families. Group members will eat lunch at Keewaydin Park, Kenniwick’s oldest park, next to the museum, (weather permitting). Par- ticipants can bring their own picnic lunches or order a box lunch for $11. The tour will end at the Confluence Art Project at Sacajawea State Park. This site has been a gathering place for Native people for more than 10,000 years. Sacagawea spent a night here with the Lewis & Clark Expedition in 1805. She also spent the next night on an island off shore from present day Irrigon. Participants will have a guided tour of the Inter- pretive Center, including the Perry Room of Indian Artifacts, and Maya Lin’s “Stone Circles” Installa- tion Art.
