Are You Dehydrated?Submitted by Angel Higbee, Exercise Instructor

A recent CBS online news article reported that last month brought an alarming spike in the number of pa-tients treated for dehydration, fatigue and heatstroke across the Southwest—especially in major cities record-ing temperatures exceeding 100 degrees.

Staying hydrated is critical. However, when it comes to drinking enough water, most Americans consume far below the recommended daily minimum, regardless of the season.

The online article also noted that while most people know water is crucial to their health, nearly three-fourths of the American population fall short of the 10 daily cups prescribed by the National Academies of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine. The result: most people in the US are functioning in a chronic state of dehydra-tion.

“Sixty percent of our body is composed of water—75 percent in our muscles and 85 percent in our brains. It’s like oil to a machine,” explained Dr. Roberta Lee.

So keep that water coming-- your skin, muscles, brain and body weight all will benefit!

La TraviataThursday, August 11, 1 pm

Hearthstone’s Multnomah Theater

One of the most famous operas in the world, La tra-viata (The Fallen Woman) is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi. Based on La dame aux Camelias, a play adapted from the novel written by Alexandre Dumas in 1852, the opera is set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave.

Inspired by the life of courtesan Marie Dupless, La traviata tells an unforgettable love story shrouded in sacrifice, mystery and misunderstanding.

Words To Live By By Dave McElheran, Chaplain

We may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:6 NKJV

Sometimes fear can be a good thing in that it causes us to use caution and helps us to stay focused. However many times fear grips us and causes us to dwell on the “what ifs.” When fear dominates us, it can immobilize and cause us to isolate ourselves from great opportuni-ties.

The good news is that you do not have to be ruled by fear. You have a powerful ally—God himself, the creator of the universe who will never leave you. God is your helper. Mere men cannot match His power. This truth is the cornerstone for overcoming fear.

Prayer is one of the greatest weapons against fear. In prayer you connect with God’s power and presence. This constant awareness of God’s presence thwarts the possibility of fear in all circumstances. Know that God is in control, he takes care of the fear.

Life: Living with Purpose, Making a DifferenceBy the Reigning King and Queen of Hearts Gene and Joanne Kersey

Your home was filled with items that invoke memories.

In your need, you collected. You saved your children’s report cards yellowed with age and drawings from the grandchildren, now grown, adorned your fridge.

Then, you begin the task of dispersing your treasures. Family chooses items first and you are saddened when your favorites are not theirs, and surprised when your son says he wants that picture of you that hangs on the wall.

Many belongings are dispersed and scattered and soon even your home is no longer yours.

You move to a new living facility where you know no one and find many new friends. You thought this move could be lonely and depressing but found new joy. Then followed the loss of abilities, perhaps the capacity to walk or the competence to remember.

You found hearts filled with compassion and empathy. You found space that is adequate and private, with room for the rocker, and a window that looks out to rose bushes and other flowers that are visited regularly by brightly-colored hummingbirds.

May you always find an opportunity to make a difference and live a life that has purpose. May friends and family come often to visit. May the newest great grandchild make its first appearance, wrapped in the afghan you made for this newborn’s grandmother.

May each day bring smiles to your face, and may you have time to share with new found friends and be grateful for all you have!

August Library DonationsBy Kay Elliot, Resident and Hearthstone Librarian

Holy Cow, books just keep on coming! Oldies to read again. Thank you, thank you. We’ve added three new Young Adult books in the library: two mysteries by Alan Bradley and one fiction by Chris Crutcher.

Look it up: The ‘pantechnicon’ came growling up the long, curving drive. PLEASE use a bookmark rather than dog-earing a page! I’ve spotted loads of them in the ‘return’ basket.

Residents Celebrate Independence DayBy Frank Pablo, Life Enrichment Coordinator

Red, white, and blue were a big deal for everyone here at Anna’s Place on the 4th of July. We had music and des-serts galore. Yummy! Thelma Cruz, life enrichment assistant, made a patriotic flag cake with fresh blueberries and straw-berries.

Singer/guitarist Steve West entertained us with patriotic music, making Independence Day 2016 even merrier than ever. Balloons and American memorabilia added to the party atmosphere and made the time memorable. Thanks, Thelma, for coordinating this wonderful event!

Cherishing Our FreedomBy Frank Pablo, Life Enrichment Coordinator

Residents shared their thoughts and feelings about the 4th of July holiday and what it meant to them. Freedom was the word that many used to describe this celebration and how that freedom touched them personally.

“The freedom to live my life independently with some assistance is the life for me,” explained one resident. “Living here at Hearthstone was an answer to my prayers because I don’t need to depend on my children. I have the freedom to still make some of my choices where I live,” said another. Others mentioned the freedom to live a long and prosper-ous life and the freedom to be safe where they live.

I learn something new every day at my job. To hear these heartfelt comments from our residents makes me feel good about where I work. It reminds me that our mission is being fulfilled by serving with love, respect and integrity.

Anna’s Place Moments

Adele E. Zanon: Food, Faith, & FriendsInterview by Ruben Wilson, Resident

Adele was born in Glasgow, Montana, to Onufry and Elizabeth Pidwerbecki on October 29, l932. Her sisters were Clara, Pearl and Bernice, and a brother Walter.

One of her childhood ambitions was to become a nurse. However, her mother suffered a severe stroke when Adele graduated from Flathead High School in Kalispell, Montana. After her mom’s recovery Adele decided to pursue a career as a secretary and an office man-ager.

Adele married Robert Zanon on November 7, 1953, in Kalispell. They had five children and eight grandchildren.

Her daughter Geralyn is retired and resides in Kalispell, with her husband Fred Merrick. Fred was born and raised in Butte, Montana. He is a semi-retired teacher from Flathead High School where he taught world history and coached basketball, football and track. Currently, he is a traffic education instructor, and substitute teacher in Kalispell School District. They are members of St. Matthew’s Parish, where Geralyn volunteers with the Social Concerns Outreach pro-gram and needs of the parish.

Rick resides in Phoenix, Arizona, where he works for the Bureau of Medical Economics. He also enjoys playing golf.

Craig lives in Portland with Erin, his bride of nearly 10 years. Their life joyously centers around their four young and energetic children: son Ryder, 8; daughter Chase, 6; son Parker, 3; and a girl Ryann, 1. Craig has worked with Nike for 25 years and is currently the vice president and general manager of Men’s Training & Fitness. Erin works at home, managing the household, school schedules and countless family activities. Both Craig and Erin love architecture and design, and are nearing completion of their new home in the Skyline area.

Sharon resides in Snohomish, Washington, and is married to Ben Harnetiaux. Both Sharon and Ben have worked for Wells Fargo Private Mortgage Banking for more than 15 years. Sharon has two children: Nigel, 22, who is majoring in architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle, and Danika, 19, who just finished her freshman year at Gonzaga University in Spo-kane. Sharon and Ben also have a 12-year-old black lab named Molly, who is the heartbeat of their household.

Scott’s family includes wife, Sara; son Jacob; and daughter Claire. Scott and Sara have been married for nearly four years and live in Beaverton. Scott has worked at Nike for more than 25 years and is currently the marketing director for Nike Team Sports. Sara, who moved from Houston, Texas, to Beaverton, in 2012, owns and operates the Houston Stellar Volleyball Club. Jacob, 21, was playing baseball for Lewis & Clark College in Lewiston, Idaho, before he was drafted in in the 15th round by the New York Mets. He is currently playing for the Brook-lyn Cyclones. Clare, 17, is a senior at Jesuit High School in Portland, and has recently verbally committed to play volleyball in Chaminade University in Honolulu following graduation.

Adele and Bob had a good time keep-ing up with all their kids’ activities including Peewee baseball, softball, cheer leading, basketball, and Legion baseball. All five of their children attended the University of Montana in Missoula. All of the boys played basketball for four years at the university, so Adele and Bob kept the road hot from Kalispell to Missoula and points beyond.

When the couple retired in 1999, they en-joyed traveling across the United States, especially for spring training for baseball in Florida and Arizona, and Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin to see their favorite NFL team, the Packers.

They moved to Beaverton on December 4, 2006 to be closer to our families.

Adele and her husband anticipated moving to Hearthstone at Murrayhill together. However, last September 1, Adele had an ischemic stroke, and on September 10, Bob passed away at St. Vincent’s Hospital of respiratory failure with hypoxia cardiopulmonary arrest.
