a message from the city manager


Oregon City is the first incorporated city west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1829 by Dr. John McLoughlin at the base of the thundering Willamette Falls, Oregon City was the destination for thousands of Oregon Trail pioneer settlers in the 1840s. With its rich heritage and natural beauty, the City at the End of the Oregon Trail continues to connect visitors to our nation’s pioneering past. Oregon City was the first State Capital and is the County Seat of Clackamas County.

Oregon City is home to shopping areas, recreational opportunities, businesses, and a wide variety of historical and cultural attractions dedicated to celebrating the Pioneer spirit.

Rich history, natural beauty, and a progressive community have found a home in Oregon City. It is the blend of old and new that makes Oregon City such a vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Neighborhood Associationswww.orcity.org/neighborhood-associations

Welcome to our community & thank you for checking out the second edi-tion of “Oregon City Around Town.” Ore-gon City has a won-derful reputation for its rich history, & has made great

progress in recent years, developing new parks, improving infrastructure, support-ing enhancements in our downtown, & renewing our focus on public safety.

As a new member of the community, I have discovered an “authenticity” in the people, the places, the events, & the daily

rhythm of life here that is compelling & unique among all of the places I have lived. Folks here do not notice how large or small their neighbor’s house is, they simply smile sincerely & say “hello.” Or-egon City’s authenticity is changing the way it is viewed across the metro region. It is an asset, an experience if you will, that cannot be fully appreciated unless you spend time here.

So, I invite you to come, join us, share ideas with us, dine with us, stay awhile & remember to “buy local” when you shop for the holidays…but beware, the longer you are here, the more likely you will stay, perhaps for a lifetime. z

a message from the superintendent

CCC & Oregon City: a valuable partnership

Greetings! I’m proud to serve as the superinten-dent of the best school district in Oregon. We have the most skilled teachers and support staff in the state, and they are dedicated to each and every stu-dent’s learning. Year in and year out our

schools post test scores well above the state average in every subject and every grade level.

Our flagship, Oregon City High School (OCHS), has a long tradition of athletic achievement, but a strong athletic tradition is only a small part of the picture. OCHS also has an outstanding fine arts program. It has one of the best choir, band and drama programs in the state.

We are particularly proud of our academic pro-gram. OCHS has several opportunities that chal-lenge scholars and allow them to earn college credits while in high school. There are 31 high

school courses in which students can also earn credits at Clackamas Community College. In ad-dition, there are 12 advanced placement cours-es for which colleges and universities grant credit if students receive a passing score on the national AP tests. As a result of taking these challenging courses, many of our students head off to college with a year or more of college credits in hand.

Oregon City High School’s latest state assess-ments in reading and language arts were only topped by three other mid or large high schools in the state. Its mathematics scores were only topped by one other school. Number four and number two….not bad, but we’re heading to number one on both of these assessments. Ath-letics -- fine arts -- academics -- I challenge any school in the state to make a better showing.

If you have a child in our schools– congratula-tions! If you’re thinking about locating here– welcome. You’re going to love our schools. z

For nearly 45 years, Clackamas Community College has been an in-tegral part of the Oregon City community. The changes in the city have been reflected in chang-es at the college, as we have grown from tempo-rary modular classrooms in the late 1960s to three

vibrant, full-service campuses.

The college and the city are connected in count-less ways. High school students turn to CCC to earn Advanced College Credit and for industrial arts and alternative education. More than 60 percent of Oregon City High School graduates choose CCC to continue their education.

CCC has strong ties to Oregon City business and civic groups. More than 150 Oregon City busi-nesses took advantage of the services of our

Small Business Development Center last year. Our Customized Training and Development Ser-vices provide classes and training for employers. The CCC Foundation awarded scholarships to 62 Oregon City students last year, a tuition value of $82,379.

As community priorities change, CCC responds to the changing needs. We have greatly in-creased our outreach and services to veterans over the past few years. We continually assess our offerings to adjust to changes in the economy and marketplace. For more than a year, we have offered “midnight welding” classes. This fall, we begin offering a renewable energy program for the first time.

I value the input of the community. If you’ve got a suggestion, give me a call at 503-594-3000. As an alumnus, I am proud of the strong partnership between Clackamas Community College and Or-egon City. We share a history and a future. z

8 FALL

When I was a classroom teacher I went through the extra work of generating nightly homework and then followed up the next day to collect and correct the homework. As all teachers know, this creates an extra load of work for the teacher. However, I always believed the benefits for my students justified any extra work it created for me, the teacher. Homework provided my students the opportunity to independently practice and strengthen their academic skills. To-day, as a tutor, I can still attest to the obvious values of homework, along with its “hidden values.”

I recommend to all parents and students, at the right age, the following article which was published in the “Sacramen-to Bee,” dated September 10, 1988. The original article was written by John Rosemond, a family psychologist. He sums up his article with this comment: To what do these “Seven Hidden Values” add? To self-esteem of course! Homework gives a student a chance to develop a positive sense of self worth.

homework’shidden values

by Liz Fox

Homework can be a character-building experi-ence. Managed properly by teachers and par-ents, homework gives the student a chance to practice and strengthen academic skills. There are other “hidden values” in homework which can equip the student with emotional and be-havioral skills. These skills can help the student to perform more successfully in the adult world. Some of these life skills are: responsibility, auton-omy, perseverance, time management, initiative, self-reliance, and resourcefulness.

Responsibility: To fulfill your obligations; to as-sume “ownership” of that which rightly belongs to you; to hold yourself accountable for both your mistakes as well as your successes. Home-work is the student’s responsibility. When par-ents get too involved, they set the process on its head. The “lessons” get done, but the real lesson doesn’t get learned.

Autonomy: To self-govern; to stand on your own two feet. Homework is the first time some-one, other than the parent, has consistently as-signed tasks to the student. In that sense, home-work breaks new ground. The student is now accountable outside the family. The manner in which this golden opportunity is managed will either enhance or obstruct the student’s prog-ress toward independence.

Perseverance: To confront challenges with de-termination; to strive in spite of difficulties; to complete what you set out to accomplish. If the Little Train That Could had had a mother train who, upon seeing her child’s struggle, got behind and pushed, there would have been no point to the story. Likewise, there is no point to a student doing homework if every time the student be-comes frustrated, parents make it all better.

Time Management: To organize time effec-tively and productively; to complete tasks on schedule without compromising quality. The shortest route to a nightly homework marathon is to tell the student when to begin the home-work, but not when it must be finished. Instead of learning to manage time, the student learns to waste it.

Initiative: To be self-motivated and assertive; to be decisive in defining and pursuing personal goals. It boils down to this: Who decides when it is time for the student to begin homework.

Self-reliance: To have trust and self-confidence in your abilities. Managed properly, homework empowers, affirms, enlarges, fulfills, actualizes and enables the student’s capacity for compe-tence. Mismanaged, it diminishes, deflates and disables. There is no in-between.

Resourcefulness: To find, invent, or adapt cre-ative means to solve problems. After all, this is the business, the very stuff of being human, isn’t it? Homework provides the form, the student provides the substance.

music ismagical

by Judy Stanley

The key to reaping these (and more) benefits is the act of playing music. Music is little more than ear candy for the brain if you simply listen. Research-ers have concluded that you have to play it, sing it, and move to it if you want to experience music’s proven benefits.

Learning to make music is like learning a new lan-guage. Playing music is a mental and physical ac-tivity. It stimulates brain development in students of all ages. It requires that we engage and integrate

three of our senses: sight, hearing, touch. Not only do we engage these senses, we train them to work with our brain to develop the mental and physical skills we need to create music.

A brief review of some of the many studies about the benefits of playing music reveals more reasons to pursue music at all ages than most of us real-ize. It is shown and/or linked to the production of many benefits.

Take, for instance, some of the ways a child can be impacted by playing music:

• Increased confidence and self-discipline• Development of concentration, coordination, and patience• Increased creativity• Improved language discrimination and development• Higher productivity• Improved ability to socially connect with peers• Improved verbal and math skills

Music is magical. Playing music has been linked to measurable improvements in human well-being. It can soothe our soul, rekindle memories, inspire creativity, make us move and lower our blood pressure. It can reduce job burnout and improve our mood.

Packed Lunch Strategies: Whenever I cook noodles or rice for dinner I cook extra to use for lunches during the week. Sunday evening while I make dinner I do one or more of the following: make a salad sandwich spread, cut snack vegetables, or hard-boil eggs for the week. When I bake, I make double batches of whole grain mini muffins, healthy cookies, and granola bars to stow away in the freezer for future use. I try to include all food groups by packing when needed, sides of veggie sticks, hardboiled egg, whole grain snacks (such as crackers, mini whole grain rice cakes, mini muffins, granola bars) and a dairy, soy or rice milk protein (such as milk, cheese stick, cottage cheese, or small yogurt). To avoid excess sugar I forgo fruit juice and pack a water bottle.

Packed Lunch Ideas:1. Sandwich wraps using whole grain wraps

or tortillas. Filling ideas: turkey with avo-cado. Turkey, cream cheese and cranberry sauce. Chicken or egg salad fillings.

2. Teriyaki Bento. In a microwavable bowl add leftover brown rice with leftover chicken add a few small pieces of broccoli, cabbage or carrots drizzle with teriyaki sauce. Micro-wave until very hot, transfer to a thermos soup container that has been preheated first by hot water.

3. Whole Grain Pita bread triangles with hum-mus, carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes and snow peas.

4. From leftover chicken, cold chicken pieces with a dipping sauce and fresh vegetables.

5. Soup or chili in a thermos. Leftovers or heated from a healthy canned variety.

6. Cheesy noodles. In a microwavable bowl add leftover whole grain noodles, shred-ded cheese, and a teaspoon or so of but-ter. Microwave and stir to coat noodles well with cheese sauce. Veggie dog slices and small pieces of broccoli are add-in ideas.

7. Burrito roll ups. Spread a whole grain tor-tilla with refried beans, brown rice, and sprinkle with shredded cheese; roll up like a jelly roll. Microwave to melt cheese. Cut into one inch widths. Pack with salsa, sour cream and mashed up avocado.

8. Hors d’oeuvres lunch. Turkey rolled up with cream cheese or sliced cheese inside. Secure with a toothpick. Pack with crack-ers, mini containers of olives, pickles, pick-led corn and carrot sticks.

healthy & imaginative school lunchesBy Carol Pauli

Among the shopping, organizing and planning for back to school, lurks the question “What will I pack in those new lunch boxes?” I always find myself not wanting to put the same tired lunch ideas in a freshly cleaned or new state-of-the-art insulated lunch box. I also believe any new ideas for lunch items need to pass the test of easy, nutritious and appealing (not just to me but my kids). From my experience of over 18 years in the food industry, reading through recipe books and internet sites, and most importantly from my experience of packing lunch every day for my own school age children, comes these ideas. An insulated lunch box with water bottle holder on the side, a small thermos soup container, plastic sandwich box and various size snack containers are the basic supplies to house a packed lunch.

Now that the ideas are flowing, here is a recipe for a truly original packed lunch inspired from the 1980’s movie “The Breakfast Club” when the other kids were stunned as “Claire” brings out sushi from her lunch box.

Sushi SquaresIngredients: 6 cups cooked brown sushi rice. While still warm season with mixture of 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp soy sauce and 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar. 2 sheets of nori (seaweed sheets) Sesame seeds or black sesame seeds 1 ripe avocado cut into thin strips 2 cans of tuna, salmon, or crab 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise 2 green onions, thinly sliced 1 cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and cut into thin strips. Soy sauce to serve on the side.

Directions:1. Spread plastic wrap over the bottom and

14 FALL

Starting in January 2009 with nine confidentially selected children, this program has grown in feed-ing almost 70 children by the end of the 2009-2010 school years in our local Oregon City Community. Beginning this fall, this program will add an addi-tional site and begin feeding children in the Head Start programs.

Children are anonymously and confidentially se-lected by school personnel to be recipients of the food. A checklist is used to determine if a child qualifies to be a recipient, which is composed of observations from school personnel as well as a fa-

miliarity with the families. The family of the child is contacted for permission to participate in the pro-gram, but is not obligated to sign up. Once written permission is received, the child is included in the program with no strings attached. All siblings of the elementary aged child are also included.

Food for Backpack Buddies is gathered and distrib-uted by the supporting churches of the program. To date, Prince of Life Lutheran, Trinity Lutheran, Oregon City Christian, and Oregon City Evangeli-cal Churches have combined forces with countless area businesses to feed local children. Each church

gathers kid-friendly and nutritious meals which in-clude soups, chili, packaged fruit, juice pouches, Easy Macs, and snacks, such as cheese and crack-ers to be packed into a bag to feed a child for the weekend. The bags of food are delivered to the classroom teachers. The teachers distribute the bags discretely, often tucking the bags into back-packs during a time when all of the children are out of the classroom, such as recess.

The Oregon City Backpack Buddies program is relatively new, but is ambitiously working to spread into all elementary schools which need

Imagine that you open the refrigerator and there is no food. Now imagine that you have no money to buy the food for that refrigerator. And now imagine you are a child who experiences this everyday, coming home from school and knowing that you will not have your next meal until the following school day. What would you do and how would you provide food for yourself? For a variety of reasons, children in our community are going without and not receiving the minimum of three balanced food meals a day. Through the public school system children have access to food through free and reduced breakfast and lunch programs, but many of the same children may not have had enough or any food to eat on the week-ends. Oregon City’s Backpack Buddies is now answering the call to feed our children on the weekends!

the program. This program is similar to Backpack programs found all around the country. Each pro-gram has a similar mission to feed children who are hungry while maintaining their dignity. As in most Backpack programs, Oregon City’s Backpack Buddies is helping to keep our children’s stomachs filled so that they can concentrate at school and focus on just being kids.

You can help in a variety of ways. Food and mon-etary donations keep the children fed! In many cases, the program has been able to invite youth groups to assemble the bags. This has become a great service project for Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts,

baseball teams, church youth groups, and many more! If your church or organization is interested in supporting an area school, this is also needed to expand our outreach into other Oregon City el-ementary schools.

This fall, we will begin distributing collection boxes to area businesses. If your business would like to display a box to collect food items, please contact us at [email protected]. For further information, please visit Oregon City’s Backpack Buddies’ website at www.ocbackpack-buddies.org. z

buy local oregon city

When a group of business leaders came to-gether to develop a grass roots plan to promote our local economy, the Oregon City Chamber of Commerce also had a similar idea outlined as a 2010 goal. Great minds think alike and this partnership sets the tone for Buy Local Oregon City, citizens working together in and for our community. The idea is simple. A business with the Buy Local Oregon City sticker in their win-dow agrees to promote Oregon City businesses by committing to make a conscious effort to buy local when possible and raise awareness of this movement through business and com-munity activities. Citizens who support these businesses are supporting more than just local commerce. They are supporting the vitality and quality of life in Oregon City. Dollars spent local-

ly are reinvested into our city generating local jobs, income taxes, and property taxes. These funds can then be reinvested into our schools, city infrastructure and community programs. Local businesses are invested in our community by linking neighborhoods, and supporting our schools and causes. Buying locally is a sustain-able practice; saving time, fuel and resources. Beyond the facts and data for supporting local commerce, one of the hidden benefits is in-volvement and connection to the community. There is value in knowing the faces and places within your community. Community commerce can provide an opportunity for business repre-sentatives and citizens to get to know each oth-er on a first name basis, while seeing each other

around town in their various community roles and organizations. Discovering the diversity and uniqueness of the community is another mor-sel to the equation. Oregon City resident Patti Burke expresses, “It is a treat to discover a shop

in town I never knew existed or to discover that I can save money and time by having services provided by a business right down the street. It is almost like a scavenger hunt; what is around me that I may have not noticed and what will I find? It also means a lot to me that I am support-ing a business that supports the community. I see how they sponsor local community events, non-profits and help get the word out for com-munity events even just by helping display a poster. Somehow it is satisfying to give my sup-port to business like this.”

Mary Heins of My Mother Knows…LLC gift shop feels that local business can “satisfy the needs of the neighborhood shopper by having a pulse on citizen needs while offering a variety of price points. If I can satisfy, they will not have to go outside of the community. I offer unique servic-es in my business and enjoy working together with other local businesses to complement each other as opposed to competing”.

Further information for citizens and businesses interested in participating is available at www.buylocal.oregoncity.org. On the website you’ll find a member directory, sponsor page, Q & A, events, local photos, and information on how to participate. Buy Local founding members will meet with interested business representa-

tives to obtain their written commitment, give them a sticker and obtain their information to add to the website directory. There is no fee to the business to become a Buy Local Oregon City member. The emphasis is on the commitment to be mindful of dollars spent and reinvesting them into our community. Sponsorship oppor-tunities are available and provide additional benefits to businesses who wish to contrib-ute further to Buy Local Oregon City’s mission. Whatever role you may have in the community as a business or a citizen the message is simple: Buy Local Oregon City and Keep it here. z

the mall to fight the crowds is the last thing I have time for! So this year I made it my mission to have a more positive

shopping experience and to find local, fabulous gifts for everyone near-and-dear to me. Not only did I find some great

presents- I found parking, better prices, and no lines!

Shopping with a CauseOver the years I’ve found myself shopping for holiday gifts and wondering if my loved one will use or even appreciate the gift I’ve so care-fully chosen. Whether we like to admit it or not, sometimes our loved ones don’t really need much of anything. So, consider buying a gift for someone who really needs it.

Many organizations help their clients during the holiday season (throughout the year) and need a wide range of donations. Usually it’s as easy as checking your favorite charitable organization’s website for their specific needs. For example, at Christmas time the Clackamas Women’s Shelter needs six to twelve really, nice bathrobes to give to our shelter moms. You can search the stores’ amazing sales and buy a beautiful, warm, cozy bathrobe for someone in need. Then, lay the robe out nicely, take a color photo of it, and in-clude a note to your loved one about sending the gift in their honor. Place the photo and lit-erature from the organization in a beautifully wrapped package and present to your loved one. He or she will be delighted, you will feel great and your gift will be put to good use. Just

call your favorite organization and they’ll let you know how you can give a gift that won’t end up in the back of the closet.

Get While You GiveI’m sure that everyone enjoys an evening out or an afternoon with the family from time-to-time. Why not incorporate some family fun or friend time into an event that will help support a non-profit organization? For example, Oregon City Burgerville offers to charitable organizations a designated evening when a percentage of all proceeds are donated to the organization. Both Burgerville and the recipient organization adver-tise this effort to double the impact! Local pho-tographer Tania Allen of Paradise Photography offers special photo packages through Santa Clause with a Cause then donates a percentage of her proceeds to charity. This is the perfect way to capture the wonder of Santa in your children’s eyes without the mayhem of the long, mall lines while helping a local charity. Check newspaper listings or your favorite organization’s website for upcoming opportunities; then, make your next family outing or date night one that brings you fun and brings others help.

Give the Gift of GivingOften during this holiday season (as well as birthdays and other holidays) those in need are unable to afford to give gifts to their loved ones. This can be especially hard for families with children. Donating gift cards of all kinds to your favorite organization may allow them to empower their clients; a gift card can pro-vide a small amount of autonomy and dignity in gift purchasing. Pre-paid Visa or Mastercard gift cards allow purchases anywhere but any gift card from grocery stores to gas stations might be appropriate depending on the organization. If your favorite charity doesn’t list gift cards on their “wish list” I would encourage you to give them a call and ask what would be most helpful.

Party for a ReasonIt is such a privilege for me to see generosity and kindness in action. A fun way for you and your friends or family to make a difference is throw a party and have the guests bring gifts for a specific need or organization. You could have a Holiday Tool Time party and donate hammers, drills and levels to a local Habitat for Humanity. Host a baby shower for a local relief nursery or

to give is to receiveby Pamela White

While America is known as one of the most generous nations in the world, we seem to become more aware of the needs of others, as the days get colder and the holidays get closer. In my work, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible generosity provided to people in need and their overwhelming appreciation. Here are some ideas to make a difference in the community while giving you a chance to make your holiday season more meaningful.

holidayideas

other organization that serves children. Create a “Have your cake but give it away too” party by serving fancy cakes but have guests bring a check or cash to donate to the local food bank or Meals on Wheels program. Of course this “party for a reason” idea is good all year long whether you’re celebrating a birthday or even TGIF!

Last December, a Clackamas Women’s Services donor dropped off over 30 beautiful well-made toys to our local toy drive. “We’ve been doing this neighborhood Christmas party for ten years, and this year we all decided that the $10 gift exchange was really a waste of money,” the party hostess told me. She went on to say that families brought the toys to the party and dis-played them for everyone to see. The hostess ended by saying through her bright smile, “We had so much fun and felt so much better about the way we spent our money that we’re going to do it again next year.”

Traditional is PowerfulFinally, the most traditional and powerful way to support non-profits is by making a cash do-nation. Charitable organizations depend on un-restricted gifts from generous individuals, busi-nesses and community organizations to make ends meet. Whether your gift is $25 or $1000 it will be sincerely appreciated.

If you want to make giving more meaningful, take the time to browse your favorite organiza-tion’s website and get to know them better. If you’re looking for an organization to support you can perform an online search for the type of non-profit that interests you. Then sit down with your family for a meaningful discussion. Feel free to call the organization you support or are considering supporting. All organizations welcome phone calls from supporters.

However you decide to give this holiday season (as well as year round), remember that what-ever you do you are making a difference. On

behalf of non-profit organizations everywhere let me say “thank you” from the bottom of our collective hearts. zPamela White is the Development Director for Clackamas Women’s Ser-vices (CWS) and may be reached at 503-722-2366 x107.

Since 1985, Clackamas Women’s Services has been the only non-profit organization in Clackamas County dedicated to ending domestic and sexual violence against women and children. www.cwsor.org

Recently a local “fairy princess” celebrated her 7th birthday by inviting her guests to bring items from the Clackamas Women’s Services shelter wish list instead of birthday gifts. You can see from the picture that this birthday girl wields a powerful, magic wand and an even bigger heart!

The Church in Oregon City welcomes you!We invite you to discover new bonds of friendship, the joy of worship, the satisfaction of service and especially God’s amazing love and grace. The leaders of local churches and ministries listed below meet together monthly for fellowship, planning and prayer. We’re from diverse denominations and backgrounds, but we join together in one cause in the service of Jesus Christ. It’s our conviction that we serve our community best by uniting around our common heritage of Christian faith- rather than focusing on our di�erences.

We unite around an ancient statement of Christian faith, known as the Apostles’ Creed:I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit; born of the virgin Mary; su�ered under Pontius Pilate; was crucied, dead and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose from the dead; He ascended into heaven; and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic(universal) Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

Whatever your own background or beliefs, we extend an open hand. Come experience our faith �rst-hand. You’ll be glad you did.

MENTION THIS AD AND SAVE10% OFF YOUR NEXT VISIT


In a study of holiday weight change published in 2000, the average weight gain during the holi-days was just one pound. This sounds small until you realize that the study also showed that this weight was not lost during the following year. Over the years, this innocent one point weight gain each year really adds up as we Americans get older.

What can you do about it besides refusing to go to another holiday party? Remember, holiday parties and social occasions have both food and people in common. Just consider these suggestions for de-emphasizing the food and re-emphasizing the people.

Let’s start with the people. Getting together with others to visit and have fun is the best part of the holidays. Maximize the visiting and socializ-ing and you’ll have fun with no increase in your waistline. The fun of creating a clever costume, dressing up and showing off a costume results in more excitement for kids of all ages than the candy they get. Gatherings between Thanksgiv-ing and New Years should be more about the people and less about the food. Emphasize get-ting together and visiting throughout this trea-sured season.

When it comes to de-emphasizing the food, you don’t need to change the entire character of the occasion. There will be eating. For celebrations

you’re organizing, keep the food simple and nourishing. An end of the summer barbeque can capitalize on all the fresh fruits and veg-etables available to add to the centerpiece of lean hamburgers, chicken or smaller size steaks. For a Halloween party, make it a simple meal of chili and cornbread along with games. No one will dispute that Thanksgiving just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without the turkey, dressing and the family’s favorite pie. Consider those three foods the centerpiece and simply add vegetables and whole grain rolls to them to balance it out. For a holiday open house, have all the food in one place with lots of places for people to sit and visit. Always remember to have water and other low calorie beverages available at any celebra-tion.

For occasions you are attending, determine your plan of attack before you get there. Eat light but don’t skip meals on the day of the event; you don’t want to arrive hungry. After you arrive, check out the food situation. Take a look at the food itself before you decide what you are going to eat. Fill your plate just once. Pick out the one or two items that you really enjoy and don’t want to miss (no matter what they are or how rich and high calorie the food is), then fill up your plate with vegetables and/or fruits, salads, and whole grain breads. If your plate is full but not overflow-ing, no one will notice that you didn’t choose everything available. This strategy will help you

prevent the notorious “food pushers” who insist on everyone leaving stuffed! Now, take your plate and visit with the people you want to see and enjoy yourself.

Try these tips along with a few planned walks and the holidays will be just as enjoyable without the extra pounds. zJanet Mann of Janet Mann Nutrition Consulting is a registered and licensed dietician who provides nutritional counseling to get individuals and fami-lies on the Rd to better health.

holidayideas

• Install & Maintain Working Smoke Alarms. Smoke alarms are one of the best safety devices available to protect you, your family, and your home. Install them in every bedroom and on every level of your home. Test smoke alarms regularly and replace batteries when needed.

• Plan and Practice your Escape. Plan and prac-tice an escape route so that you can get out of every room in case of fire. Plan an alternate route in case you encounter smoke. Choose an outside meeting place where everyone will gather. Once you are outside, stay out!

• Space Heaters Need Space. In the winter, heating equipment is the leading cause of home fires. Keep portable space heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including curtains, furniture, people, and pets. Never leave space heaters on when you leave home or go to bed. Look for a safety testing la-bel such as ETL, UL or CSA.

• Watch What You Heat! Never leave cooking unattended. Keep cooking areas clear of com-bustibles and wear short or close fitting sleeves when you cook. Keep the handles of pots turned inward so they can’t be knocked off or pulled over. If you have a kitchen fire, protect your hand with a pot holder, carefully slide a lid over the pan to smother the flames, and turn off the burner.

• Smoke Carefully. Carelessly discarded ciga-rettes are the leading cause of fire deaths in the United States. Never smoke in bed or when you are drowsy. Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers and place cigarette butts in water

before discarding them. Before going to bed, check under and around cushions for smolder-ing cigarettes.

• Matches & Lighters are Tools, Not Toys. Store them up high where kids can’t reach them. Teach your children that matches and lighters are tools for adults, and if they find matches or lighters, they should tell a grown-up immediately.

• Use Electricity Safely. Replace any electrical cords that are cracked or frayed. Don’t overload outlets or use extension cords that are dam-aged or run them under rugs.

• Protect Yourself from Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning. Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as “the silent killer” because you can’t see it, smell it or taste it. It’s a deadly gas that is produced by fuel-burning heating equipment, such as furnaces, wood stoves, fireplaces, and kerosene heaters. Install at least one CO alarm near sleep-ing areas. Have a trained professional inspect, clean and tune-up your central heating system. Fireplaces and woodstoves should be inspected yearly. Keep gas appliances properly adjusted and serviced. Never use an oven or range to heat your home, and never use a gas or char-coal grill inside your home or a closed garage. Portable electric generators must be used out-side only.

• Be Ready if the Power Goes Out. Stock up on batteries, flashlights, portable radios, canned foods, manual can openers, bottled water and blankets. Use flashlights instead of candles to avoid a possible fire hazard. Prepare a 72 Hour Survival Kit.

• Holiday Safety. Select a fresh holiday tree; nee-dles should be green and hard to pull back from the branches, and the trunk should be sticky to the touch. Don’t place your tree close to a heat source, and be careful not to drop cigarette ash-es near a tree. Don’t leave your live tree up for more than two weeks, and keep the tree stand filled with water. When the tree becomes dry, discard it promptly to a recycling center or have it hauled away by a community pick-up service. Never dispose of tree branches in a fireplace or wood burning stove.

Inspect holiday lights for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear before putting them away. Use only lighting listed by an approved testing laboratory. Do not overload electrical outlets, and don’t link more than three light strands unless the directions indicate it is safe. Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into the outlet. Periodically check the wires; they shouldn’t be warm to the touch. Don’t leave holiday lights on unattended.

Use only nonflammable decorations and place them away from heat sources. If you use a me-tallic or artificial tree, make sure it is flame retar-dant. Never put wrapping paper in a fireplace! Candles should be in stable holders and placed where they can’t be knocked over. Never leave the house with candles burning. Never put lit candles on a tree, and don’t go near a holiday tree with an open flame. z

Every town has hidden treasures from walking paths to artwork and cultural experiences. Oregon City is no exception. I have come across some of these hidden treasures on my own. After living here for 15 years, however, I am still surprised to learn about new ones. I invite all of you to share your hidden treasures. Send me a location, description, and a photo if possible to [email protected]. I will share these treasures in upcoming issues.

The McLoughlin Promenade

by Julie Paulsen

This 7.8-acre linear park stretching along the bluff above downtown provides spectacular views of the Willamette River, Willamette Falls, and historic Downtown Oregon City. Con-structed in c. 1937 as part of President Frank-lin D. Roosevelt’s efforts to relieve unemploy-ment, the Promenade has recently undergone renovation as part of President Barack Obama’s

economy recovery and reinvestment efforts. A concrete walkway, with a variety of low stone and metal walls, runs from the parking lot by the VFW Hall off Tumwater Drive, past the upper entrance to the Municipal Elevator to the stairs that descend the bluff alongside Singer Creek Falls ending at the base of the elevator. The path also provides an opportunity to get a closer look

at some of the historic homes situated on the bluff. They demonstrate a range of architectural styles including Bungalow and Queen Anne. Grassy areas and park benches contribute to a peaceful place for strolling or sitting to enjoy the view.

Willamette Falls Symphony

Oregon City MuralsWhile driving on 10th Street to go up Singer Hill or on 99E across from Blue Heron Paper Mill, it is almost impossible to miss three murals paint-ed on the sides of the buildings. Not everyone may be aware that there are five more murals in Downtown Oregon City. The murals, completed in the early 1990’s, tell the story of Oregon’s pio-neering heritage. There is now a walking tour brochure to enhance your enjoyment of these eight murals by providing information about who painted them and the story behind the

images. “Painting the Town” is available at busi-nesses down on Main Street, in the Municipal Elevator and the Chamber office located at 1201 Washington Street. While not included in the brochure, there are also murals on the side of the Antique Mall Building on 7th and Center Streets as well as St. John the Apostle Catholic School on 5th and Washington Streets.

The Willamette Falls Symphony started with eight members in 1981 and has expanded to over fifty players. The symphony presents three to four concerts a year in addition to performing at Concerts in the Park every summer. The con-certs take place in the United Methodist Church on South End Road. Past performances have in-cluded Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, music from

Harry Potter and Star Wars as well as individual compositions by the players. Small groups of players can be hired to perform at community events. The Symphony provides a low cost op-portunity for people of all ages to experience and enjoy classical music right here in Oregon City. z

DOUG

City Commissioner for 12 years

REMEMBER TO VOTE NOVEMBER 2, 2010

AREAS OF ECONOMIC INTEREST:• Support high-end redevelopment of land�ll and cove sites• Support Main Street Program• Coordinate with College, High School, and private property owners the planning for development of Beavercreek area currently within O.C. boundary• Coordinate visioning of mixed-used corridors• Coordinate with Beavercreek Hamlet the visioning of Henrici Road area within O.C. urban reserves

Plans to rehabilitate the historic Oregon City/West Linn Arch Bridge have been in the works for sev-eral years now. The bridge, designed by Conde B. McCullough, was constructed in 1922 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our Arch Bridge is unique due to its concrete cover-ing called Gunite. After nearly 90 years of use the bridge requires rehabilitation. Due to the narrow-ness of the bridge lanes and other factors, the proj-ect will result in a full 24 month closure. This full bridge closure will occur after January 15, 2011, at the earliest.

This complicated bridge rehab project is managed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). ODOT developed a special contracting process to retain a primary contractor who has specific experience to complete the job effectively and efficiently. To provide incentive for meeting the 24 month completion expectation, daily fi-nancial penalties to the contractor were built into the agreement. In May, Wildish Standard Paving of Eugene was named the successful bidder. All stakeholders believed choosing an Oregon based

or Northwest based company was an important decision, especially if the company has the right experience.

Work began this summer that included inspection of the arch ribs inside the chambers of the base of the bridge on each side. The public may have observed the contractor mobilizing equipment, establishing mooring points for the barges and the barges moving into place on the river. Over the course of the fall the public will be notified of intermittent single lane closures.

With a full bridge closure in January 2011, resi-dents, commuters and businesspeople may need to reexamine their typical routes between Oregon City and West Linn. ODOT will offer a continuous shuttle service from Downtown Oregon City to West Linn every day. For more information about the shuttle service and the project, visit the proj-ect site page at www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION1 or contact Susan Hanson, ODOT Com-munity Affairs Coordinator at 503-731-3490.

All of us impacted by the bridge closure will need to demonstrate patience and endurance. Contin-ue to patronize our Downtown Oregon City busi-nesses to help ensure that in two years when the bridge work is completed we will have a safe, spec-tacular bridge and a thriving downtown, too. z

R e a l to r

This November, the election of a new Mayor and two new City Commissioners will be very impor-tant here in Oregon City. From my perspective as both a resident and the Communications Coordi-nator for the Oregon City Chamber, there are two groups vying for city leadership that view Or-egon City very differently. Voters this year must decide if they like the vision of Oregon City as an up-and-coming, regional center that incorpo-rates our heritage into planned growth or prefer a return to a small town focused on its heritage.

On June 23, I began an online survey asking citi-zens of Oregon City to share their thoughts on some of the local issues. The survey was initially open for only two weeks, and I received 100 re-sponses. The survey has since been reopened and a link is available on our website at www.oregoncity.org. This survey is not intended to be scientific but suggests trends and voter opinions. The complete set of responses will be given to the current City Commissioners and the candi-dates the first of October.

For each of the topics addressed in the survey, I am including comments from respondents that illustrate both sides of the issue. After reading through these comments, I encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey your-self. You have an opportunity to tell the candi-dates your vision for Oregon City’s future.

Proposed Developments on the Rossman Landfill and at Clackamette Cove

• These developments will draw other com-munities into Oregon City to shop and bring a variety of minimum to living wage jobs.

• We will lose so much of our small community atmosphere and they will have a negative impact on Main Street and the Oregon City Shopping Center.

End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center Site • Redevelop the museum as a heritage site

with more interactive exhibits.

• Repurpose the site as a recreational center with ballparks or a community center.

Public Safety including Police and Fire• We need more police per capita and a better

facility for police.

• Don’t notice any lack of service and am not aware of extra needs.

The City’s Role in Job Development • Government needs to keep their nose out of

it and let the private sector take care of it.

• The City should seek out and woo manufac-turing facilities.

Property Annexation The majority of respondents, to-date, did not under-stand the issues surrounding annexation or found the question itself confusing. However, there were interest-ing comments.

• I support annexation if the financial impact is covered by the developer. This includes the whole scope of the project including traffic flow and impact to residents.

• I support all annexation. They drive on our roads; our police protect them from crime when they come through our city; they uti-lize our businesses and services. They should be paying Oregon City property tax.

Urban Renewal• Urban renewal has a function in reviving

business, providing updated city services, and creating growth.

• Should not be used to enable a developer to build on a prime spot that will generate a huge profit for the developer.

In summary, these comments provide a snapshot of what your fellow citizens think about Oregon City issues. What is your opinion? Please com-plete the anonymous survey available at www.oregoncity.org. Your comments will be shared with the people who will be making the deci-sions about our future. z

black-n-blue strip steak with fire roasted shrimp

14 oz new york strip steak

4 - 6 jumbo prawns peeled & deveined (prefer size 16/20)

1 cup heavy cream

½ tbsp. butter

1 tsp. cajun spice

¼ cup tomato diced & seeded

1/8 cup green onions chopped

heaping tbsp. blue cheese crumbles

d i r e c t i o n s :Shrimp: BBQ or charbroil shrimp. Cook until shrimp are pink.

Steak: Grill or broil NY strip steak to your liking.

Sauce: Reduce 1 cup of heavy cream by half or until cream thickens. Season with Cajun spice to taste -

I prefer a good amount of kick to mine. Finish sauce with 1/2 tablespoon butter, add shrimp, tomatoes,

green onions and simmer briefly to infuse flavor.

Finish by placing shrimp over your steak and drizzling the sauce and crumbled blue cheese over steak

& enjoy. This topping may also be used with your favorite cut of meat or any roast. z

I’ve always enjoyed a good steak. Many years ago I added a Creole shrimp top-ping to a steak for a dinner special and have never looked back. One of my favorite things to do at the restaurant is to experi-ment with new and different toppings for our Choice USDA steaks. You’ll find us do-ing it nearly every weekend at the Verdict Bar & Grill. Any time you’re in, feel free to ask what I’m playing with that night - or try this one at home. You’ll find a world of flavors can be opened up when trying new things with your favorite ingredients.
