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

park, next to the museum,
