Short Fir” was recently recognized and accepted as an official State Heritage Tree. The tree is located on public park land in the City of Wilsonville’s Park at Merryfield, adjacent to Metro’s large regional park, Graham Oaks Nature Park. Former Wilsonville Mayor and Clackamas County Commissioner Charlotte Lehan said that, “There are usually only three or four trees accepted at the state level in any given year, so this is quite an honor for Wilsonville.” The “Short Fir,” which is 119 feet tall with a 16-foot circumference, will be listed in the Oregon brochure of State Historic Markers and State Heritage Trees that is distributed throughout Oregon at rest areas and other tourist information centers. The Short Fir was designated a Heritage Tree by the City in 2006 and is named in honor of Robert Valentine Short, who was a member of the Oregon Constitutional Convention and a land surveyor who created the original plat for downtown Portland. He established in 1851 the Donation Land Claim where he lived and farmed that included all the land from the Willamette River at Morey’s Landing to Villebois. A dedication ceremony will be scheduled in 2014.

Mayor’s Message City Advances a Range of Issues I n this issue of the Boones Ferry Messenger you will find an interesting and diverse range of content that covers many topics. First off, a number of Wilsonville-based businesses have been in the news as of late, including firms that have won awards or held grand-openings. We congratulate these companies for their accomplishments and wish them success. The Library and Parks & Rec Dept. continue to host programs and events that are responsive to what our community is interested in. I think that the new “Reindeer Romp and Bullwinkle Bash,” scheduled for Saturday, December 14, 8:45–11:30 a.m., sounds like a fun time for kids and families. We are also running some articles on Wintertime safety and weatherization tips that are timely reminders. We also have a large spread on pages 6-7 providing updates on activities and decisions of various volunteer City boards and commissions, including special, ad-hoc task forces set-up to review specific issues and make recommendations to the City Council. I hope that you and your family and friends have a joyous and safe holiday season. Tim Knapp, Mayor In This Issue...

December 2013 City of Wilsonville The Boones Ferry Messenger – 3 Wilsonville Medical Products Manufacturer Receives “Top Innovation Award” for Revolutionary Tourniquet E MS World magazine, the leading monthly publication for the emergency medical services market, has announced SAM Medical Products of Wilsonville as a winner of the “2013 Top Innovation Awards” for the new product, the SAM Junctional Tourniquet. The awards recognize the industry’s most innovative products of the year on display at the 2013 EMS World Expo held in Nashville, TN. The SAM Junctional Tourniquet is a life-saving device designed to stop junctional bleeding in both the inguinal and axilla areas, as well as controlling pelvic fractures. No other device currently available on the market offers this level of versatility for these three emergency situations and is FDA approved. Time is of the essence for patients with these types of injuries, and the Junctional Tourniquet’s simple design allows hemorrhage control in less than 25 seconds in most cases. The target compression device is placed at or near the injury site and pumped-up until the bleeding stops. Two devices can be used to occlude blood flow bilaterally if needed. The rugged design ensures that the device stays firmly attached to the patient during transport. “We are honored to be chosen from a very competitive landscape,” says Will Fox, VP of Marketing and Business Development. “The team here at SAM Medical worked very hard to bring the SAM Junctional Tourniquet to market.” “We continue to be impressed by the caliber of the entries each year,” says Scott Cravens, publisher of EMS World. “Our exhibitors are creating products and technologies that are both increasing the safety of EMS professionals and transforming the delivery of emergency medical care.” The December 2013 issue of EMS World will feature a list of the winning companies and products. The January 2014 issue will feature a comprehensive report on the 2013 Top Innovation Awards. SAM Medical Products is committed to bringing innovative solutions to market that meet the challenging needs of emergency medicine, the military, and hospitals around the world. The SAM Splint is the gold standard in flexible splinting products; SAM’s products are distributed globally in over 60 countries.

The total represents an increase of 413 students from Fall 2012. This year’s growth includes the new Wilsonville campus that began admitting students in the fall of 2012 and now has over 600 students enrolled. The increase also reflects demand for specialized polytechnic degrees from Oregon Tech, which boasts the highest return on investment ranking among Northwest universities. “We are very pleased to see an increase in our Fall enrollment,” said Dr. Chris Maples, Oregon Tech President. “Students and parents alike recognize the tremendous value, national reputation, and exceptional return on investment (ROI) that are the hallmarks of an Oregon Tech degree. Our small classes, handson teaching, and undergraduate focus have been the keys to our success and reputation to date.” Along with the success of the Wilsonville campus, Oregon Tech faculty and staff work with students to ensure that they are able to complete all of their courses on campus by providing state-of-the-art equipment and preparing students for real-life situations. For this reason, Oregon Tech boasts a 95% success rate of students in careers after graduation, or continuing their education in advanced graduate or professional schools. “Students know that our faculty and staff care a great deal about their success, and this year’s enrollment increase also reflects that recognition,” Maples said. “Additionally, Oregon Tech has received increasingly impressive accolades from US News & World Report, Forbes, PayScale, and numerous military publications,” he added.

Healthy Tips for the Holidays Over the holidays there are often many opportunities to stray from healthy eating. Here are some tips from Wilsonville Community Center Personal Trainer, Brad Moore that may help you: • Eat a healthy small meal before you head out • If you know you are going to treat yourself in the evening, be sure to have a healthy breakfast. • Don’t rush to eat. Socialize and settle into the festivities before you eat. • Try not to socialize near the buffet table, this will minimize unconscious nibbling. In addition to healthy eating, keeping your body moving through exercise will help to burn calories and to lower stress. Have a fitness question?

Friday, December 20, 12 Noon Menu: Roast Beef and Gravy Potatoes Mixed Vegetables Cake December 2013 City of Wilsonville The Boones Ferry Messenger – 5 Cold Weather & Winter Holiday Preparation Ideas Winter Fire-Safety Tips Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Encourages Residents to Be Conscientious of Potential Fire Dangers S igns of changing seasons are well under way, bringing us wind and precipitation that we can expect to continue over the next few months. As we make this seasonal transition, here are a few tips from Tual atin Valley Fire & Rescue to keep you warm and safe. For those with woodstoves and fireplaces, remember: • Burn only dry, seasoned wood (not garbage, treated lumber, Christmas trees, gift-wrapping, etc.). • Before lighting a fire, check the flue for obstructions and open the damper wide. • Keep clothing, newspapers, and furniture away from fireplace or woodstove. • Ashes can retain heat and stay hot for up to five days, therefore dispose of ashes in a metal container with tight-fitting lid – and store outside, away from any structures. Never use paper, cardboard or plastic containers/waste baskets for storing ashes. • Have a safety screen or glass door in place to help prevent embers from starting a fire. • Never leave a fire unattended. Before you turn on those baseboard and wall heaters, take some safety precautions including: • Keep curtains, mattresses, furniture, clothing, toys, and all other combustibles a minimum of three feet from all baseboard, wall and portable heaters. • Remember, especially in cold weather – heaters may turn on, even while in the off position! • Never use kerosene, propane or other outdoor-use heaters indoors – they may start a fire and there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. • Never use extensions cords with portable heaters • Turn off, or unplug all portable heaters when leaving the room and never leave them unattended. Remember that one of the best ways to stay safe is to have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in your home — so test those detectors! TVF&R wishes you a safe winter season. For more information about these or other safety tips, please see at www.tvfr. com. Residents escaped harm, but had extensive fire and smoke damage from a baseboard heater fire. A resident was planning for a weekend guest visit, turned on the heater, and while making the bed tossed blankets and sheets onto the floor that ultimately come into contact with the baseboard heater and then caught fire. A E ach year public-safety agencies throughout Oregon and Washington work together to produce a calendar with safety tips and resources to help the public prepare for a disaster.

Don’t Let Grease Clogs Ruin Your Holidays T Tips for Home, Landscape and Sprinkler System Winterization t this time of year temperatures can fall below the freezing mark. Taking proactive steps in advance can minimize freezing damage to your home’s plumbing. Most problems associated with winter freezing events can be minimized with a few minor weatherization measures. The following steps can you minimize the chances of damage to your plumbing system and your home. Water systems • Insulate or caulk around pipes entering your home • Remember to disconnect all garden hoses and store your hose in a warm area for the winter. • Try and isolate the shut-off valves for all outside spigots and shut them off. Then be sure to open the spigots to drain the pipes. If there are no shutoff valves for outside spigots, then insulating the spigots is the next best remedy for winterization inexpensive Styrofoam bonnets can be purchased at most hardware or home improvement stores. • Shut-off and drain your sprinkler system. There may be multiple drains at low points in your sprinkler system. These drains will usually be possible to find by the presence of small round valve boxes, usually with green lids. After you have turned off your sprinkler system for the winter make sure these drains are opened and the system is reversed in the spring when you reenergize your sprinkler system. You could also choose to call your landscape maintenance company if you are unsure of proper winterization methods. 2014 Emergency Preparedness Calendars Now Available Home insulation • Make sure all foundation vents are closed. If you don’t have vent covers then a piece of Styrofoam or plywood in each vent will work (to prevent dry rot be sure to remove the blocks when the weather warms up in the summer). • Insulate all pipes in unheated areas. Areas where pipes may be that are usually unheated are attics, garages, crawl spaces and basements. Use foam pipe insulation and insulate the full length of all pipes and pay special attention in-line valves and double insulate these areas. Utilities • If you are leaving home for an extended period of time be sure to shutoff and drain your plumbing system. First, shut-off your hot water heater before draining; for advice on gas-fired water heaters, call NW Natural at 503-226-4211 or 800-422-4012. Open all faucets in the house and flush the toilets to rid the system of excess water. And then reverse the order by closing all faucets before leaving the home for an extended period. • The City can also turn-off the water services for the duration. No monthly bills will be incurred during the requested time frame, however, a $27.50 fee will be charged to the account for this service. Please complete a Temporary Stop Service Form and submit it to the utility billing department 72 hours before the effective date. Go to the City’s website, www.ci.wilsonville.or.us, click “I Want to” and select Water/Sewer Service. he holidays are upon us, and for many families that means extra guests, extra food and extra cleanup. Avoid extra costs by keeping leftover gravy, pan drippings and grease out of the sink drain. Otherwise, you may end up with an extra guest that charges by the hour. According to Roto-Rooter, incoming calls for service on the day after Thanksgiving increase almost 50 percent. Grease from cooking, gravy, cooking oil, and sauces may look harmless as a liquid, but when it cools it gets thick and sticky. That means if you pour grease down your drain, it sticks to pipes and eventually causes clogs and messy overflows. Prevent backups in your home by pouring all bacon, fried chicken and other cooking grease into a can, put- A simple can or plastic container with a lid makes a good grease holder. ting in the freezer, and then tossing it in the trash. To help combat the fat, the City is offering a free “Freeze the Grease, Save the Drain Kit.” The kit is available at the Public Works Office, 30000 SW Town Center Loop East, and includes a pan scraper, a plastic lid that fits metal cans and easy to follow instructions. • Scrape grease and food scraps into a can. • Freeze it. • Toss it into the trash.

Based on this analysis, the City will develop a Housing Strategy for providing the opportunity for development of needed housing consistent with the City’s vision and values. On January 8 at 6:00 pm, members of the Planning Commission meeting as the Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) will host a public meeting to share what has been learned and gather input on the draft strategy for accommodating housing as Wilsonville continues to grow.

December 2013 City of Wilsonville Wilsonville Tourism Development Strategy Advances T he City-initiated effort to create a Tourism Development Strategy that arose from previous work to craft a comprehensive Economic Development Strategy continues to move forward. The work is being guided by a 16-member volunteer task force chaired by City Councilor Julie Fitzgerald that is comprised of representatives from local dining, lodging and entertainment establishments, as well as operators of agri-tourism, golf and sporting tournaments, along with residents and officials with tourism agencies. The City contracted in a competitive process with the tourism consultant firm Total Destination Marketing based out of Tualatin. While a local business, the consultants have worked with cities and destination marketing organizations throughout Oregon, the U.S. and globally. To date, the City has hosted two community workshops focused on tourism and visitor information, along with two meetings of the task force. The first two phases of The next phase to be conducted the process, conducting a from January through March 2014 is focused on crafting and destination audit and assessrefining the Tourism Strategy ment/analysis, Development plan. were completed in November. A “Fieldwork Research Report” is scheduled for release to the public and task force members in mid- to late-December. This report contains research findings and data from the studies and activities in the destination audit and assessment/analysis phases conducted September through November. The Fieldwork Research Report also includes background information on various market and experience development opportunities. The tourism consultants with Total Destination Marketing will summarize all research, interviews and workshops (confidentiality protected), draft Strengths-Weaknesses-OpportunitiesThreats (SWOT) analyses, and discussion points in regard to target audiences and key strategy elements. The next phase to be conducted from January through March 2014 is focused on crafting and refining the Tourism Strategy Development plan, which will address issues including strategic direction, Wilsonville positioning, strategies and actions, Internet marketing and destination leadership, among others. Public comment opportunities are available at each task force meeting, as well as for the draft strategy plan that is scheduled for release in February. Wilsonville Tourism Development Strategy Task Force 2014 Meetings • Wed, Jan 29, 1:30 pm, Meeting #3 — Strategic Directions: Following a recap of the Fieldwork Research Report, task force members will be encouraged to discuss their responses and then consider strategic directions and potential recommendations.

Tourism Meeting Reviewed Internet Marketing, Other Issues T he November 12 meeting of the Wilsonville Tourism Development Strategy Task Force looked at recent tourism statistics and the current state of Internet marking of Wilsonville. Some highlights from the meeting covered by the presentation include: • Overnight visitors to the Willamette Valley spend an average of over $100 per day, totaling over $529 million in 2011. • Over a one-year period, Wilsonville’s Internet presence captured only 5.42% of the potential search market of 211,680 searches. • Although Wilsonville has many excellent partnership arrangements, there is no one “authoritative” website dedicated to tourism promotion and visitor information. Together, these observations may point to the need for a more vigorous Internet presence for Wilsonville in order to create our own “image” and capture a greater share of the tourism and visitor market-share that together result in increased spending locally.

Library Conducts Strategic Planning to Improve Services S tarting this past summer, the Wilsonville Public Library Board began a process of strategic planning for improvements to library services that benefit patrons. A draft list of preliminary service priorities for the Strategic Plan include: • Create Young Readers – focus on early literacy • Visit a Comfortable Place – a focus on physical and virtual space • Connect to the Online World – which includes both access to technology within the library as well as access to online resources remotely. • Stimulate Imagination – reading and viewing for pleasure for all ages • Celebrate Diversity – embracing and responding to the needs of various cultures in the community In November, Library staff performed a Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis for each of these draft priorities that yielded important information about how these objectives could be translated into actionable goals and real services. Afterwards as the Boones Ferry Messenger went to press, a Community Advisory Panel was set to review these priorities, along with the SWOT analysis, and make final recommendations to staff. The plan is due at the end of January.

The current effort stems from a new look during 2013 at the rate structure for various classes of water users—residential, commercial and industrial—along with capital and operational needs for maintaining the water-distribution system. The current water rates are based on an outdated cost-of-service analysis that was completed more than 15 years ago — prior to the City’s Willamette River Water Treatment Plant coming online. The Council is considering revising the rate structure that would be more equitable among user categories based on The overall effect of the recent cost-of-service the rate restructuring is analysis.
