Senior Wish Program Wishes That Came True Senior Wish Program Wishes That Came True The Foundation is proud to feature Senior Wishes that have come true across the state of Oregon thanks to those working in long term care and to OESF and its supporters. If you have conducted a Senior Wish you'd like featured, please Share Your Story with OESF. Shirley’s Sternwheeler Cruise Click on individual pictures to view larger “I feel I am still living the wish”, exclaimed teary eyed Shirley a week after her big day. Despite having various chronic health issues, this beautiful (inside and out), aging soul always puts the needs/wants of doing for others on the top of her daily to do list. She may be making sure her peers at the social center are getting their needs met (and will do what she can to assist them), she may be making wonderful scarves to be gifted as “just because” gifts, or she may be going around table to table greeting each individual with a huge smile and warm greeting…what a true lady Shirley is. When asked, “why the Sternwheeler?” Shirley responded there were two reasons. First, this was something that she and her daughter, Carol had always wanted to do so why not take this amazing opportunity to go? And secondly, Shirley told a brief story of a woman she once knew who had lived in France not far from the Eiffle Tower. The woman never took the opportunity to see this glorious landmark even though it was so closer to her. Shirley then stated, “The Columbia River is one of the most beautiful and historic rivers…this was my Eiffle Tower!” Shirley then gave some words of wisdom expressing that we should all enjoy the beauty that is all around us and stated if tourists come to visit these places in our backyard, we should certainly go and enjoy them as well. Shirley’s team at Cully ElderPlace thank you with our whole hearts in making this wish come to life for our very charming and grateful role model. Special thank you to Dennis Corwin, Ercel, Captain Tom Cramblett, & Cruise Director Brenda of the Portland Spirit, Holly Itami Springfels and Kimberly Walker of Kern Park Flower Shoppe, and to Petra, Maureen & her daughter, Penny, Kelli, Tami, Stephanie, Nancy, Georgia, Connie, and Shirley’s daughter, Carol who made up “Team Shirley”.

Betty Lou’s Music Man Wish Click on individual pictures to view larger Betty Lou is a much loved 81 year old woman here at Cully ElderPlace. Unfortunately, in the last several months, Betty Lou has weathered some very difficult moments/losses that have made the brighter side of life harder to see at times. In the face of this adversity, Betty Lou continues to wear her heart on her sleeve and to keep her witty sense of humor within her alive and well. She is the most spirited when she is dancing, talking about going to a musical performance, playing a game of chickenfoot with her peers, or when she is being able to give and receive love and affection. It is this spirit that we put special intention on to give Betty Lou a day out to see one of her favorite musicals, Music Man, and to eat out at a Chinese restaurant (another favorite that makes her eyes twinkle!). With Betty Lou being the guest of honor, it is our hope she feels truly special, loved, and adored by all those around her. Thank you all for making this wish come true: Vera Rojas with Broadway Rose Theatre Company for donating a ticket for Betty Lou to attend the show, Bil Basso Mayer (from Lifeworks NW for driving and being a great chauffeur), Linda Fogerty of Linda’s Beauty Shop for a pampering haircut and style, and Laurie Barrett, a Cully ElderPlace nurse who made beautiful custom jewelry for Betty Lou to wear on her big day. John’s Night at the Etta James Tribute Show Click on individual pictures to view larger John is a very special 84 year old man, and with John’s physical decline, some days there are very few things that can get him to wake up/perk up. However, music will get him alert and tapping his foot every time (especially jazz and classical music). This Senior Wish definitely put a smile on his face and had him “drumming” (via hand, silverware, and salt and Address: 2330 Debok Rd., West Linn, OR 97068 Web: www.oesfonline.org Phone: (503) 210-4053 Connect with OESF on and to join the conversation online. pepper shakers) the whole show. John also didn’t mind the special attention he received from the powerful and beautiful ladies who performed at Jimmy Mak’s for the Etta James Tribute show. Rewinding back to the beginning of this wish….John had put on his new outfit and looked at himself in front of a mirror and expressed, “Wow!...don’t let me out roaming!”. Along the side of his daughter Linda, and granddaughter Stephanie, as well as several staff/volunteers from Cully ElderPlace, this charming man had quite the evening out on the town. Thank you to all of the generous businesses and individuals who helped make this wish come true including: Target who provided a new jazzy outfit for John’s big night out, Jimmy Mak’s for treating the special guests to the show as well as dinner and drinks, Laurelhurst Florist for the beautiful boutonniere, Bil from Lifeworks NW for driving and being a great chauffeur, and Maureen Buell for the finishing touch of a great hair cut for his night at the show. Laurelhurst Village Resident Fulfills Lifelong Dream to See Harlem Globetrotters On the morning of February 22, Laurelhurst Village resident Patti Donatini's smile was bigger than usual. Nancy Harbick, Activities Director at Laurelhurst, had organized a meet and greet before Saturday's Harlem Globetrotters show for Patti, a quiet resident with a big heart, whose long-time dream has been to see the Globetrotters in person. Harbick had known of Patti’s interest in the Globetrotters, so when she saw on TV that they would be at the Moda Center, she contacted them to see if they would donate tickets for Patti and a couple of guests. They agreed immediately. Upon arrival at the Moda Center, Patti, her twin sister Paula, and brother-in-law Vince waited backstage for the players to arrive. Patti’s eyebrows rose when she saw the players walking down the hall towards her. They greeted each other and took pictures. One player, Prince Johnson, slid a red, white and blue sweatband on Patti’s wrist and told her he’d wear one to match hers during the show. The meet and greet was short and sweet, and it left Patti with a huge grin throughout the rest of the show. Special thanks to the businesses who helped this wish come true: Metro West for providing transportation to and from the show, Serenity Hospice donated several bouquets of flowers. Lisa Schroeder, owner of Mother's Bistro & Bar, who invited Patti for a dinner after the show.

Click on individual pictures to view larger Joyce and Lorna (we know her as Lou) are two of our Cully ElderPlace participants and both of these women are wonderful, compassionate, and charismatic-with great senses of humor. Unfortunately they also have in common the harsh memory of both losing one of their sons to HIV/AIDS (both sons were in their 30’s when they passed). Both Joyce and Lou were very active in support and education groups during their younger years around the topic/culture of AIDS and helped many families during this hard time. For this wish, we have formed a team (Cully’s Proud Mommas) to participate in walking in the 2013 Portland AIDS Walk to honor both of their sons, Steven Schlitt and David Fee. …as the winds picked up greatly on the last .5 mile of the walk, we gave the option to our ladies to end the walk early and get them warmed up…they both insisted on participating in the full length of the walk. Joyce and Lou are truly two very proud (and honoring) mommas. Special thanks to the following supporters who helped make this wish come true: Larie Thomas and Sandra Hetzel with Latitudes who donated 25 custom made t-shirts for the team, Rodger Marks and Alicia from Walgreens who donated 3 custom made signs for “Cully’s Proud Mommas” to carry at the walk, Bil Mayer with Lifeworks NW who volunteered to drive the team bus. Cully’s Proud Mommas Team Members: Lou Schlitt, Joyce Fee, Kelli Erickson, Brendan McGrath, Carolyn Basham, Cathy Clark, Debbie Davis, Conrad Hamilton, Erica Knepper, Jennifer Keltner, Kate McGray, Larry Miller & furry companion, Nancy Kriet, Neal Roginski, Petra Bahr, Rika Bering & furry companion, Ryen McGrath, Sandra Hetzel, Sara Migliazzo, Stephanie Feezer, Susan Trezise, Bil Mayer, Penny Schlitt & furry companion, Lori Schlitt, and Linda Last but certainly not least, Our Team Contributors: Robin and Johnny, Shirley Basham, Peter Mak, Jamie Fugate, Danielle Trevino, Jason Ackerman, Carl Brody, Ellen Garcia, Joseph Diers, John Panosh, Marilyn Caudill, Mark & Jill Erickson, Cece Dispenza, William Evans, Erin O’Reilly, Brittany Sale, Daniel Yohannes, Kelly Von Bargen.

  • Birds of a Feather: the Coconut Grove Audubon Society, 1915-1917
    Birds of a Feather: The Coconut Grove Audubon Society, 1915-1917 By Emily Perry Dieterich Three Things to Remember A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all Heaven in a rage. A skylark wounded on the wing Doth make a cherub cease to sing. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men. William Blake Organized bird protection in the United States began with the formation of the American Ornithological Union (AOU) in 1883. Addressing this specific concern, member William Brewster, curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard, moved to form a "Committee for the Protection of North American Birds" at the Union's annual meeting in 1884 (Robin Doughty, Feather Fashions and Bird Preservations:157-58). The original Audubon Society was born several years later, the brainchild of the noted naturalist and outdoorsman, George Bird Grinnell, editor of FieldandStream, the leading sportsmen's magazine of the time. Although a big game hunter himself, Grinnell was appalled by the slaughter of both game and non-game birds. "Gunners shot them for sport," he wrote, "small boys killed them for fun, and egg collectors robbed their nests." (Carl Buchheister and Frank Graham, "From the Swamps and Baclc" 7). While researching this story, Emily Perry Dieterich was director of environ- mental education for the Tropical Audubon Society. Currently she is the research historian for Metro-Dade Department of Historical Preservation. 6 TEQUESTA In February 1886 Grinnell suggested in a front page editorial of his magazine that "concerned men and women create an organi- zation for the protection of wild birds and their eggs, its administration to be undertaken by the magazine's staff." Grinnell had grown up near the home of Audubon and even attended a school for young boys conducted by Lucy Audubon.

Back in the 1940s, she said, University of Miami (UM) football players would sometimes assist with heavy lifting projects around the Garden. Any time there were massive boulders or tree trunks to be moved,A Dr. David Fairchild would phone the UM football coach and make a plea for help. I have never found proof of this in our archives, but the story fits with what we know of Dr. Fairchild’s creativity and persuasiveness. It also reflects a collaborative spirit that still exists between our Garden and local universities. Today we still have massive projects we can’t do ourselves, and we receive help from UM, Florida International University (FIU) and Miami-Dade College (MDC) in unexpected ways.

  • INTRODUCTION Although the Mango Tree Is Not Indigenous to Kenya, It Has Been Cultivated in the Coast Province for Centuries
    INTRODUCTION Although the mango tree is not indigenous to Kenya, it has been cultivated in the Coast Province for centuries. Traders in ivory and slaves brought seed into the country during the 14th century. Mango trees were reported in Somalia as early as 1331. The mango is one of the most important fruit crops in the tropical and subtropical lowlands. It is native to India, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Malaysia, but can be found growing in more than 60 other countries throughout the world (Salim et al., 2002). The mango is best adapted to a warm tropical monsoon climate with a pronounced dry season (>3 months) followed by rains. However, information from other countries indicates that crops cultivated for a long time over an extended area show a high degree of diversity due to varied environmental influences. This was likely also true for the mango seedlings first introduced in Kenya which were all polyembryonic. They can be multiplied by seeding and generally produce true-to-type progeny. Some of these are still productive, e.g. along the Tana River, and some of them have been given names which to this day are still valued. Kitoovu, Kimji, Klarabu, Punda and Mayai are of poor quality but better known are cultivars like Apple, Ngowe, Boribo, Batawi and Dodo. Of these, a few have steadily lost ground to a generation of cultivars introduced in the 1970s and 1980s distinguished by greater resistance to anthracnose (Colletotrichum), powdery mildew (Oidium), their very attractive colour and good shelf life. 1 USES AND FOOD VALUE The mango—because of its attractive appearance and the very pleasant taste of selected cultivars—is claimed to be the most important fruit of the tropics.

  • An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with Suggestions for Further Research
    Part I, “Our Manifest Destiny Bids Fair for Fulfillment”: An Historical Overview of Vancouver Barracks, 1846-1898, with suggestions for further research Military men and women pose for a group photo at Vancouver Barracks, circa 1880s Photo courtesy of Clark County Museum written by Donna L. Sinclair Center for Columbia River History Funded by The National Park Service, Department of the Interior Final Copy, February 2004 This document is the first in a research partnership between the Center for Columbia River History (CCRH) and the National Park Service (NPS) at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site. The Park Service contracts with CCRH to encourage and support professional historical research, study, lectures and development in higher education programs related to the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve (VNHR). CCRH is a consortium of the Washington State Historical Society, Portland State University, and Washington State University Vancouver. The mission of the Center for Columbia River History is to promote study of the history of the Columbia River Basin. Introduction For more than 150 years, Vancouver Barracks has been a site of strategic importance in the Pacific Northwest. Established in 1849, the post became a supply base for troops, goods, and services to the interior northwest and the western coast. Throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century soldiers from Vancouver were deployed to explore the northwest, build regional transportation and communication systems, respond to Indian-settler conflicts, and control civil and labor unrest. A thriving community developed nearby, deeply connected economically and socially with the military base. From its inception through WWII, Vancouver was a distinctly military place, an integral part of the city’s character.

The business features an aura and characteristics that are maintained to this day, including classic and unique ice cream flavors, an interior designed in a classical style with black vinyl stools, Formica counters and vintage décor. The business changed hands a number of times since Politz sold it in 1964, with each owner continuing Joe’s traditions and recipes but also adding to the legacy by expanding the menu to further enrich a family-oriented experience. Joe’s Ice Cream has become a highly successful Richmond District institution and expanded to include a wider menu of sandwiches as well as ice cream. Joe’s Ice Cream is a renowned local spot for the neighborhood to celebrate graduations, sports team gatherings, birthdays, first dates, other special occasions.

  • Genetics, Breeding and Biotechnology / S2-07 Three
    X Simposio Internacional de Mango - El Mango: Oportunidades y Desafios en el Siglo 21 X International Mango Syrnposiurn - Mango: Opportunities and Challenges in the 21st Century D02:00PM - Tuesday June 4, 2013 Session 2: Genetics, breeding and biotechnology / S2-07 Three cycles of evaluation among monoembryonic mango progenies in the São Francisco River Valley, Brazil Francisco Pinheiro Lima Neto", Carlos Antônio Fernandes Santos' and Hilçana Ylka Gonçalves de Albuquerque' ICentro de Pesquisa Agropecuária do Trópico Semiárido, Petrolina, Pemambuco, Brazil, CEP: 56.302-970 ." E-mail: [email protected]. 2Universidade de Pemambuco, Petrolina, Pemambuco, Brazil, CEP: 56.302-970. Abstract The goal of this study was to evaluate mango progenies derived from crosses among Tommy Atkins and other three monoembryonic mango varieties - Keitt, Palmer and Van Dyke. The progenies were installed at the Embrapa Semi- Arid Experimental Field Station, located at Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil. Some fruit characters, important to new mango varieties, such as weight, length, width, soluble solids content (OBrix), acidity content and "Brix/acidity content ratio were evaluated in true hybrids. Putative progenies for ali crosses were obtained in 2002 by harvesting fruits from 'Keitt' or 'Palmer' or 'Van Dyke' plants dispersed in 'Tommy Atkins' orchards found in São Francisco Valley, in order to take advantage of natural crosspollination that occurs in the mango species. True progenies were dec1ared based on microsatellite analyses. Management with pac1obutrazol, silver nitrate and irrigation were applied to reduce the mango juvenile period. Progenies were evaluated in three successive cycles: 2007-2008, 2009-20 IOand 2010-20 1l. Fruit weight ranged from 15l.74 to 1,219.48 g, fruit length ranged from 6.8 to 22.7 em, fruit width ranged from 4.3 to 12.5 em, soluble solids content ranged from 9.9 to 27.0oBrix, acid content ranged from 0.06 to 1.34 and the "Brix/acidity content ratio ranged from 10.34 to 234.29.
