Words to Live By By Dave McElheran, Chaplain

Whatever you do, work at it with

all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for

men.

Colossians 3:23

Many times we are disappointed when we

work hard at something and no one notices

the effort put forth. God tells us in his word to

do everything for him not for the praise of

man. This is a great reminder that the one we

really need to please is Him!

Curl Up With a Good Book By Resident Kay Elliot, Hearthstone Librarian

Have you all been out to see the daffodils,

tulips and crocus in bloom? Spring is truly here

so perhaps you would like to read something

with gardening in the plot. Consider The

Language Of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh;

The French Gardener by Santa Montefiore; and

Roots of Murder by Janis Harrison in the

Fiction section. In Nonfiction we have Back In

The Garden With Dulcy (635). Unrelated to

gardening, but just in, is 1,801 Home Remedies

(616 RD).

A new book in our Large Print collection,

Caroline by Sarah Miller, is about Caroline

Ingalls, Charles and the girls. And last, but not

least, is the biography, The Spy Who Loved

(GRA) by Clare Mulley, a book that promises to

reveal a female James Bond during WWII!

Thank you once again for your donations. And

a HUGE thank you to those who put returned

books in the basket and not in the wrong place

on the shelf!

Adventure Above the Tree Line

By Penny Holcomb, Community Relations Director

I ’m not by nature an adventurous person, but when my husband announced that he wanted to hike the John Muir Trail, I found myself eager to join him. The trail follows the spine of the High Sierras in California for 200 miles, from Yosemite Valley to Mount Whitney, and it sounded

irresistibly romantic to share this experience with him.

I was nervously excited about hiking 200 miles, but confident about planning and organizing all the necessary supplies and dried food for the trip — a portion of which we would mail to a drop point halfway through the hike. Ralph and I took all the right steps to prepare for this three-week hike. We even completed a backpacking first aid class where we learned how to bandage gaping wounds, among other survival strategies.

It had been decades since I’d been to Yosemite. Our arrival in the valley took my breath away; I couldn’t stop staring at the

magnificence of El Capitan and Half Dome. We spent our first night on the valley floor and the next morning hoisted the packs on our backs — all set for the hike to Tuolumne Meadows, 20 miles uphill.

It was late August and blistering hot, and hydration was of utmost importance. We kept our drinking bottles close at hand so

we could drink enough water to keep pace with our sweating. That

first night on the trail we set up camp near an icy cold stream, allowing us to replenish our water supply. As I sat on a boulder, pumping water through the filter and soaking my burning, aching feet, I felt triumphant. I remember thinking, “I can do this!”

The next day we made it to Tuolumne Meadows at 8,600 feet. Although the heat was intense, the alpine meadow was visually soothing. Over the next couple of days we continued to climb, cresting our first saddle between two jagged mountains at about 11,000 feet — well above the tree line. Then it was down and up. Down and up. Down and up. I had developed a searing, blasting headache, but chalked it up to exertion. I began to wonder: “Can I make it to Whitney?”

By the time we reached Red’s Meadow my head was exploding. I was nauseous and woozy, unable to eat or drink. Ralph arranged for transportation to an emergency room in Mammoth where I was diagnosed with elevation sickness. I ended up in Sacramento with my brother, while Ralph continued hiking another 100 miles to King’s Canyon.

Ralph and I hung onto our backpacking gear for a few more years, always thinking we might complete the John Muir trail. But as time went by, we gave up that dream and instead relied on fond — though hazy for me — memories of the stark beauty above the tree line of the High Sierras.

“I had developed a

searing, blasting

headache, but chalked

it up to exertion. I

began to wonder: ‘Can I

make it to Whitney?’”

I was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon, and attended North Eugene High and the

Lane Community College in Eugene. I grew up on a farm where our family raised

walnut and filbert trees as well as an acre of strawberries. We had a grouping of cherries trees that

my sister and I would climb and gobble down as many cherries as we could until we were sick. But those

cherries tasted amazing while they lasted! Although we worked very hard

living out in the country, it was still a wonderful place to grow up and

experience God’s beauty.

I have three daughters, two of

whom are in the Air Force and a

younger daughter who still lives at

home. She is currently attending

Portland Community College studying

art and video game design.

I previously worked for Avamere at Bethany

as their activity director in memory care for the last four years and in

Eugene at Applegate Care Center Assisted Living Community as the

activity director. I’ve also worked as a caregiver and a licensed CNA.

I enjoy jewelry making, gardening, and floral design. I have a passion for helping others see their

potential and value in their community. It gives me great joy to have a part in enriching and encouraging

residents each day. Thank you, Hearthstone community, for welcoming me with open arms and hearts.

A Heart to Serve Seniors By Melinda Diamond, Activity Director

“It gives me great

joy to have a part in

enriching and

encouraging

residents each day.”

A Letter of Gratitude from Les McCoy

To Residents, Staff, and my good Friends at Hearthstone,

I want to thank you all for your many prayers and kind

comments to me and my family at the passing of my wife,

Irene McCoy. I surely miss her after 69 years together. She

was a godly wife, mother, friend and neighbor.

I also want to thank

Pastor Dave

McElheran for the

lovely memorial service

for my beloved wife,

Irene.

Les McCoy

Les & Irene’s three children: Tim, Sandra, Steven

If you could travel around the world with

a famous person, who would it be?

I would want to travel with Mark Twain. He was an adventurer, humorist,

writer and lecturer. We could travel to Europe or even take a steamboat down the Mississippi. He could read stories to me and make me laugh! Lois Watson

I met Nat King

Cole when I was

16. I would love

to travel around

the world with

him and be able

to hear his warm, melodic

voice sing love songs every

day!

Mary Harrasser

I would want to

travel with

Diane Sawyer of

ABC News—

she’s a woman

of integrity.

Barbara Senft

I would choose

to travel with

the retired

senior editor of

the National

Geographic

Society because he would be

knowledgeable about where

we went and what we would

see.

Mary O’Shaughnessy

I met Billy Graham in 1944 in California, when he spoke at a Youth for Christ rally where I gave my personal testimony. It would have been wonderful to be part of his Crusade in more than 100 countries — learning more about each country’s food, dress, education, housing and churches. Walter Dingfield

I would choose Arnold Palmer. In addition to his golfing

awards, his humanitarian work, and his worldwide businesses, his kindness would be wonderful to be around. Playing golf in a great number of venues and meeting people in many walks of life and history, would be fascinating! Ted Parker

I would love

to travel with

Ellen

Degeneres. As

a famous talk

show host and comedian,

she always finds a way to

help people and make them

laugh. She ends her show by

saying, “Be kind to one

another,”—a quality I believe

in and want to practice. Irvin Torres Anna’s Place Staff

Group Exercise Soothes Stress By Angel Higbee, Fitness Instructor

Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Greetings from the Royals

Hearthstone’s new royalty, King Robert Tierney and Queen Gerrie Staats of “Hearthstone Land,” thank

you for the honor and privilege of being elected to this high office. We were surprised, shocked, and

humbled by the outcome of the voting. As your King and Queen, we will do our best to uphold the

standard and quality that you deserve. We are looking forward to a great year!

Some facts about our new King and Queen . . .

Birthplace of King Bob: Portland

Schools: Grant High School

Married: 57 years

Children & Grandchildren: Three children, six

grandchildren, five great grandchildren

Hearthstone Resident: Eight months

Hobbies/Interests: Photography, golf, football, people

What you like best about Hearthstone: “I love the people!”

Birthplace of Queen Gerrie: Gresham

Married: 61 years

Children & Grandchildren: Three children, four grandchildren, two great grandsons

Hearthstone Resident: Lived here for 18 months

Hobbies/Interests: Reading, picture puzzles, quilting, traveling, and many other activities

What you like best about Hearthstone: “The variety of activities is outstanding!”

A recent study shows that group exercise lowers stress levels about 26 percent in most

individuals. Group exercise can boost mental, physical and emotional well-being. Studies

show those who work out alone or not at all tend to carry more stress, depression and anxiety.

Researchers say the companionship, music and fun moves of a class help tame the tension. Another

benefit is participants feel better throughout the day and may even sleep better at night.

Here are five more tips for residents who participate in my classes:

Always push yourself a little.

Don’t compete with others but compete with yourself.

Check yourself and make sure you are doing the moves correctly.

Breathe at the appropriate times so your muscles can get the oxygen they need.

Remember to bring water to hydrate your muscles and body.

What do you consider an adventure? Do we ever lose our

sense of it? Adventure is about stepping out of our comfort

zone. It’s about dreaming and imagination, but also having the courage to

chase those dreams.

We may think of adventure as travel or trying

new things, yet we also find adventure in each

and every day. Hunter S. Thompson says,

“Anything that gets your blood racing is probably

worth doing.” Art, exercise, dancing, singing,

movement, bus excursions — these are a just a

few of our adventures at Anna’s Place.

Remember, an adventure is like a voyage of discovery – and we should never

be left to regret missing the trip. The point is the experience. How did it make you feel, what did you

learn, who did you meet? An adventure is like applying fuel to the fire in your heart. After all, life itself is

truly the biggest adventure.

Dick & Janet Bruno: The Professor & the Cowgirl Interview by Resident Ruben Wilson

(continued on page 11)

R ICHARD “DICK” BRUNO was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts, to Nick

and Josephine Bruno on May 25, 1945. There were also two sisters

born in the family. His parents lived in the lower end of Boston. Later

the family moved to the community of Revere, a few miles to the north.

When Dick asked his father why they were moving, he replied, “The rats are

getting too big to kick.” At his new home he was able to enter the first grade at age five. Because he was

smaller than most of the students and wore thick glasses, Dick says he felt picked on. However, when he

complained it seemed to him that he was the one who got punished.

Dick enjoyed a brief growth spurt before entering high school. He was given an IQ test which revealed

Dick had an astonishing, analytical mind. He says it was a finding that surprised him and everyone else!

He graduated from high school with honors and received a scholarship to college.

It seemed that everyone was on the same level at Boston State College.

Dick’s creativity rapidly developed in the Drama Club. He was too

shy to actually become an actor, instead he created sets,

backgrounds, and ran the lights.

The Viet Nam War put Dick’s theatrical career on hold.

Unfortunately, his vision problems (remember the thick glasses?)

prevented him from being drafted. Instead he applied to help the

country in a positive way and joined VISTA (Volunteers in Service

To America). He did community organizing and set up programs for

tutoring for G.E.D. testing. He also developed activities to keep kids

away from drugs and provided many other constructive programs.

His extensive experience and hard work with VISTA was a major factor in Dick obtaining a teaching

position with Portland Community College. This was also during a time when community colleges were

helping to redefine higher education by offering a greater emphasis on job preparedness at a lower cost

than four year universities. Questions focused on whether or not community colleges were just an

advanced high school with intense technical training and if they were just a step on the road to a real

college degree. That academic debate led to the conclusion that Oregon needed all kinds of schools of

higher learning. And community colleges have been an integral part of higher education ever since.

Dick taught History of Western Civilization for more than 20 years. He also taught classes on the history

of women, sex, and the family. These sessions often included frank, personal discussions about male,

female, gay, and straight topics. Dick has evidence that these classes helped some students better

understand their inner conflicts and helped prevent suicides.

Over the years Dick was challenged by sailing on the Willamette River, cross country skiing, cooking in a

friend’s tavern in Portugal, and mentoring their son Steve.

All Invited!

J ANET COLEMAN was born to Jack and Evelyn Coleman in Eugene, Oregon, on February 22, 1943.

When she three or four years old her mother won first place by submitting a photo of Janet with the

title, “Keep Oregon Green.” She was the oldest of four brothers and one sister.

Janet’s grandparents kept horses on their property. Beginning at a very young age she loved to ride. She

remembers riding around an empty area, waving to an imaginary crowd as though she was a “Rodeo

Queen.” Over the years she has owned five horses and currently owns one. Janet had to work her way

through Oregon State University living in a cooperative.

During one summer she worked as a forest fire lookout, but rather than study forestry, Janet chose to

major in social science, with an art minor. Upon graduation, Janet went to work for C.R.I., providing

community resources for women. While at that job, Janet met Dick at the VISTA office. When a friend

suggested she ask him to “go for coffee,” Janet replied “He is too stuck up!” However, about a year later

they were married. The local paper reported the wedding with the headline, The Professor and the

Cowgirl. They will soon observe their 50th wedding anniversary.

Their son Steve was born five years later. He earned a degree in history at Lewis and Clark College

University. He now works for federal Environmental Protection Agency. He is married to Susan and they

have two beautiful children. They live in Baltimore, Maryland.

In addition to the horses, Dick and Janet wanted German shepherd dogs. During their nearly 50 years

together, they have owned five.

Both Dick and Janet have had to cope with physical problems so they decided a senior living community

would offer the help they needed. Once they toured Hearthstone, the couple knew that the services and

support here would be a good fit for their lifestyles.

Hearthstone welcomes you, Janet and Dick!
