Inter-District Fire TrainingWoodburn and Hubbard Fire Districts share resources and train together to better serve the residents of both communities

Media Release

Recent agreements allow the 60 volunteer fi refi ghters from both districts to serve interchangeably in both communities thereby establishing a

larger pool of fi rst responders to assist in emergencies. In addition, an intergovernmental agreement signed by the two district boards

in June designates Hubbard’s Assistant Chief Michael Kahrmann as the shared Training Offi cer for both districts. This will allow the districts to establish specifi c standards, procedures, and engage in inter-district training. One such training was hosted by Hubbard Fire District on July 13 on a vacant parcel in Hubbard’s industrial area. The training, focused on tactics for wildland fi res, helps prepare the volunteers to control and extinguish fi res in the forest and grasslands. Hubbard fi refi ghter Robert Gendhar stated, “These hands-on trainings are vital for keeping our volunteers prepared for all types of emergencies.”

Fire Chief Joe Budge shared, “Sharing resources is vital to the continued safety of these two communities. Both fi re districts have much to offer one another and it is exciting to see us training together. As we plan for the future, I am looking forward to continuing to work closely with both districts as we determine what additional sharing of resources may look like. This will inevitably help to better serve the residents and property owners of both communities.”

Second Concert A Success

The hot weather held off until Saturday, so Friday’s concert with Billy & The Rockets was comfortable in the shade around the gazebo. A nearly

Coronavirus-capacity crowd did some chair dancing, and line dancers “lined” the sidewalk! Our sponsor, Cascade Park, brought cookies which were passed out during the band’s break.

Join us for the last concert of the series, Friday, August 28, at 4:00 p.m. at the gazebo. Our entertainment will be Jericho Road, a favorite band at our previously held Coffee Hours.

Woodburn Fire District Graduation

Media Release On Monday, July 13, the Woodburn Fire District graduated fi ve new recruits

from the volunteer fi refi ghter-training academy. The regional academy with recruits from the Woodburn, Hubbard, Aurora, Molalla, Colton and Canby fi re districts had begun prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Due to the pandemic, the trainings in the traditional sense were halted. Under the direction of Woodburn Division Chief Scott Heesacker and the guidance of Recruitment & Retention Coordinator Jason Thompson, the Woodburn recruits began meeting one on one and in small groups in order to complete their academic work and skill training while observing the COVID restrictions. The completion of the academy requires approximately 195 hours of classroom lecture and drill ground training.

Division Chief Heesacker commented that, “These new recruits are eager to continue their learning and begin their service to the communities in the area. Two members will be assigned to report out of Station 24 near Waconda Road in Gervais, one will be assigned to Station 22 on James Street in Woodburn, and one member who is already certifi ed as an emergency medical technician, and is member of Woodburn Ambulance will respond to the district’s main station on Newberg Hwy. These recruits bring the total number of volunteer fi refi ghters with the Woodburn Fire District to 32 active members.

The new recruits will be certifi ed by the State of Oregon at the Firefi ghter I level which allows entry into burning structures. The next training for the new members will focus on the driving and operation of the district’s fi refi ghting apparatus. This training begins with the brush unit, a specialized vehicle for fi ghting grass and brush fi res that has a small water pump and tank mounted on a pick-up chassis. Once the brush unit training is completed, members can begin training on the traditional fi re engines. According to Chief Heesacker, “Motivated volunteers can be certifi ed to drive and operate a fi re engine in emergencies with about one year of additional training beyond the recruit training academy.”

The next training academy will begin this fall. Anyone interested in this program is encouraged to contact Jason Thompson at the Woodburn Fire District main station.

My Pacemaker Journey

by Lorrie Cox, eXp Realty Pacemakers are an incredible blessing, as it allows us to continue living

a productive life. In my case, I was struggling with breathlessness and indigestion, and had an Endoscopy to try to fi nd out what was going on. Under anesthesia, I coded. We all still joke about it being a “Broken Heart” due to my dearly beloved husband dying.

My pacemaker gave me energy and took away the breathlessness that I had struggled with for years. GIVEN that…. I have had to learn to modify my life due to my Pacemaker. When you receive one, you are so grateful and concentrating on healing and getting strength back that you miss the warnings. If you “Google” Pacemaker and cautions you will be in shock of the 100’s of everyday things that have cautions, besides the life of the battery.

“Magnetic Fields” becomes a word you need to learn. Magnetic Fields are everywhere. Depending on your individual sensitivity, they may or may not be issues for you. I said to my Cardiologist “I can’t have a Pacemaker, because I LOVE my microwave”. He laughed and said the newer ones are not a problem. That being said I went up to my parents and realized they were still using the microwave they had bought in 1976! I do have to avoid that one!

At my fi rst 6-month follow-up, My Cardio PA had me get my calendar out. As she reviewed my recorded 24/7 pacing log, I looked up the dates where identifi ed issues had happened. She does this each review yearly to make sure I am aware of what I need to modify. The fi rst issue was me running up the hills in Seattle trying to make a deadline. I do remember not being able to get a breath. It showed up on the Pacing Log!

When I was in Rome with my dear Travel Partners, Alice Tvetan grew concerned when I could not stay awake on the “Hop on Hop off Bus” we were on. When we got off, Alice shared, while I began to get my breath again. Dave and Sharon Schuur noted, “Lorrie you were sitting over the Motor on the Bus in the back. That has a huge Magnetic Field!” Well DUH, another thing to remember.

When I was in New Orleans with Stan and Kathy Hiller, we went to a Cooking School. We were all excited and while I was observing, I started getting breathless. Looking up at the mirrors over the cooktops, I realized they were induction cooktops. Again Magnetic Fields. I moved to the back of the room but still could not get my breath. I ended up going out of the room. The manager spoke to me and when he googled it, was shocked to see the Pacemaker warning. The Cooking School added the warning to their front door and web site.

When on a cruise to Alaska with my dear friend, Gloria Leatherwood, I was standing in a line adjacent to the large glass doors that led to the deck of the ship, and became breathless, looking around I realized the glass doors had magnetic door opener/closers. DUH again being aware of my surroundings is imperative.

COVID 19 has kept us home, most of this year. My next Cardio appointment most likely will not be fi lled with as many dates to look up. There is one positive aspect to my year!

News & Views – Delivery Delivery Mail Slots:

Newspaper cannot be sticking out of the slot.

___________________________________________________________

Do Not Deliver into these Mail Boxes types: Place newspaper at the front door.

Do NOT use the Hanger.

US Postal Mail Boxes & Slots Page 2 of 2

It is LEGAL to deliver NEWS & VIEWS into Mail Slots As of February 28, 2020, the News & Views Carriers have been instructed not to deliver to any postal unit that is not a mail slot as described in the photos. If you have or had a 2nd box titled “News & Views Only” or “News & Views”, we can still use it.

Otherwise, the newspapers will now be delivered at your front door.

Many residents prefer delivery of News & Views in their mail slot. The paper can be picked up without going outside, and is protected from wind and rain. But must be fully put through the Mail Slot.

October 2011, Jim Cox, one of our residents who was an attorney and was on the City Council, researched the Postal Rules and Regulations to try to find a definitive answer.

On January 14, 2012 we received word that deliveries through mail slots are legal. The Postal Service does not have jurisdiction or control over what is deposited in mail slots of single-family homes. As long as it does not interfere with mail delivery, it is the homeowner’s decision to say what can or cannot go into the mail slot.

This means that flyers, advertisements, notices, newspapers, etc., can generally be delivered through mail slots. If an owner does not want that to happen, he or she should attach a notice on or next to the mail slot saying “Mail Only,” or something to that effect.

The USPS (US Postal Service) ruling pertains only to mail slots. It does not apply to curbside mailboxes or to mailboxes attached to the house. Those are official mail receptacles, and different rules may apply.

Everyone, please make sure your mail slot is working properly for your mail carrier. If in doubt, try putting the phone book through the slot.

USP rule 3.1.2 Mail Slots Exclusions Door slots and non-lockable bins or troughs used with apartment house mailboxes are not letterboxes within the meaning of 18 USC 1725 and are not private mail receptacles for the standards for mailable matter not bearing postage found in or on private mail receptacles. The post or other support is not part of the receptacle.

Men’s Golf Membership Meeting Minutes

Woodburn Estates & GolfMen’s Golf Membership Meeting

August 5, 2020President Len Westphal called the Meeting to order at 10 AM at the WEG

Gazebo, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Roll Call: All Officers & Committee Chairmen/Representatives were present

unless otherwise noted in this report. There were 25 members in attendance at today’s Meeting.

President’s Report: President Westphal discussed the local rule regarding balls in the sand bunkers. Remove the ball without penalty knee high drop, keeping the bunker between you and the green. President Westphal then stated that he has been informed that 9-hole men golfers are not putting out on the greens. Remember in any Club play, putts cannot be given and failure to putt out on a hole results in a disqualification. Also, a lost ball and an OB ball are played the same, one stroke penalty and play the ball from the same location from where the lost ball or OB ball was played. President Westphal then asked the members if they desired an election for Class officers for 2021. Members present chose to not have an election, keeping the same officers for 2021.

Vice President’s Report: Vice President Jerry Biddle stated that the plaques in the Golf Lounge have been updated. Hole-in-one Certificates can be obtained from the OGA.

Treasurer’s Report: Treasurer Mark Jorgenson was absent, but provided the report as read by President Westphal. The Voucher Account as of August 4, 2020 is $4,750.13 and the Men’s Golf Club Checking Account is $3,439.86.

Secretary’s Report- Chuck Johnson filling in for absent Secretary Dave Schuur had nothing to report.

Handicap: Chairman Russ Krussow stated that a member of our Club had gone to the OGA to complain about our Handicap Committee “capping” his handicap. OGA referred the member back to our Handicap Co-Chairs and both Russ and Co-chairman Clint Hansen requested that any member with concerns or questions should discuss said issues with them. Russ and Clint then discussed the new system, including caps placed on a member’s handicap.

Greens Committee: Larry Jones and Russ Krussow stated that we need a Club member to volunteer to replace Mark Jorgensen on the Greens Committee. Mark is now an employee of WEG and cannot serve on the Greens Committee due to his employment status. Ken Bourne volunteered to replace Mark.

Mixed Tournaments: President Westphal reported that the Directors of our Mixed Tournaments now and in 2021 will be Donna Burnside and Vickie Hibberd. Kevin Burnside, a member of the Mixed Tournament Committee, stated that the final two Mixed Tournaments of the year will use the same format. Required drives for men golfers is now three drives, and lady golfers will remain at 4 drives minimum.

Rules: Chairman Mike Archer had nothing to report. A question was asked as to what happens if during Men’s Club Thursday Play, a golfer tees off from the white tees when the day’s play is from the gold tees. It was agreed that the golfer should move to the correct tee box and tee off again, disregarding the tee shot from the wrong tee without penalty.

Sunshine: Chuck Johnson reported he has not sent out any cards for several months. If any member becomes aware of the need for a card to be sent, please notify Chuck.

OGA: Paul Eaton had nothing to report.Membership: Stan Hiller had nothing to report.Unfinished Business: Nothing to report.New Business: Nothing to report.Closing Comment: Chuck Johnson inquired as to why the cups have not

been placed in the practice putting green behind the maintenance yard. He and many other golfers utilize this practicing green and would like to have the 3 cups replaced. This will be brought up at the next Greens Committee Meeting. Fred Bourne reported that Donna Jentzen needs a partner for play in the Mixed Tournament. Fred then reported that a modified Harvest Tournament will be held on August 22 and 23. Teams of two players can be men golfers, mixed twosomes or women golfers. Will Abshere stated that when the minutes of our meetings have been completed and approved, he would be willing and able to send out the Minutes to members via E-Mail. Ken Bourne stated that several members have asked if the white tees on hole #17 could be permanently moved to the location of the gold tee box. Both Russ and Clint stated that could not be done as it would invalidate the course rating and everyone’s handicap. A discussion on tee box and hole yardage was then discussed. Kevin Burnside inquired as to why our Club has not had more computer pick formats this year. President Westphal stated that normally our Club has one computer pick format each month.

Door Prizes: The 50/50 Raffle was held. Jerry Biddle won the drawing, collecting $18.00 of the $36.00 pot.

Closing: President Westphal asked for a motion to adjourn our Meeting, the motion was made, seconded and approved. The Meeting was adjourned at 10:55 AM.

Note: Our next General Membership Meeting will be held at the WEG Gazebo (weather permitting) at 10 AM on Wednesday, September 2, 2020.

Community Riskfrom Ammonium Nitrate Storage

Media Release Following the explosion of a fertilizer storage warehouse in Beirut, Lebanon,

on August 4th, some Woodburn residents have expressed concerns about the hazards posed by the storage of fertilizer in this community including storage at the Wilbur-Ellis facility on Front Street in the city’s old-town district. According to required reporting and frequent on-site inspections, Wilbur-Ellis, and no other site in Woodburn or the North Marion County area, has storage of the type of fertilizer that caused the massive Beirut explosion.

The Beirut explosion has been linked to the improper storage of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate, a material that is widely used around the world as an agricultural fertilizer. The explosion reportedly killed 220 people and injured at least 6,000 more. The Beirut explosion is similar to an event that occurred in Galveston, Texas in 1947 when the explosion of 2,000 tons of ammonium nitrate aboard a docked ship killed more than 500 people including almost the entire Texas City Volunteer Fire Department. Approximately 5,000 pounds of this material was used at the Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995.

Due to its explosive potential and intentional detonation in Oklahoma City, the manufacture, storage and transportation of ammonium nitrate is highly regulated in the United States. According to the 2019 reports fi led by Wilbur-Ellis as a requirement under the federal Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, the facility has no reportable quantities of ammonium nitrate stored at the Woodburn facility. This has been confi rmed during frequent on-site inspections at the facility as part of the Woodburn Fire District’s routine inspection program and follow-up to the November 2018 fi re in one of the buildings at the site.

When stored properly, ammonium nitrate by itself poses little concern for explosion. It is however classifi ed as an oxidizer. When heated, it will release oxygen that will intensify any combustion in the area. In order for ammonium nitrate to become explosive, it must be mixed with liquid fuel, exposed to high heat in a closed container, exposed to a smaller detonation or a combination of all three. In the case of the Beirut explosion, the 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate was reportedly stored in the same warehouse as 30 to 40 nylon bags of fi reworks. According to reports, a fi re started by welder’s sparks in a nearby warehouse spread to the warehouse where the fertilizer was stored and ignited the fi reworks. The fi reworks and other burning combustibles heated the ammonium nitrate which released oxygen and increased the intensity of the fi reworks explosions which then detonated the ammonium nitrate. The Oklahoma City bombing involved ammonium nitrate mixed with diesel fuel and purposely detonated with 350 pounds of high explosives.

January 5, 1965 the fi rst meeting of the Management Council was called to order by George Marshall. He welcomed the nine new members and the carrying over from last year.

In the golf area, Denny Holmes took over as Golf Professional.The calendar of events continue to grow with the many activities: potlucks, arts

& crafts, dance, horseshoes, men’s chorus, sewing, painting, many types of card games, garden, and golf.

January 23, 1965 the 500th house in this multi-million dollar project completed in the Woodburn Senior Estates.

February 6, 1965 the fi rst speaker will be Oregon former governor Robert Holmes on Feb. 17 on the subject of “tourism as an industry, and what it means to Oregon”.

Another professional group, the Registered Nurses of Senior Estates, began their meetings.

February 20, 1965 the Management Council made amendments to House Rules: (1) Effective as of now, the Council will designate their order of preference for assignment to the fi ve working committees and the entire Council will select the new chairperson of each committee. (2)The Golf Course will be reserved for the exclusive use of: women players each Wednesday until 1 p.m., men players each Thursday until 1 p.m.; except during the winter months. (3) Children under 18 years of age will be excluded from the use of the shuffl eboard court. All guests must be accompanied by a resident or associate member. (4) The memberships are for man and wife, only. (5) All resident and associate membership accounts will be on an annual basis.

March 20, 1965 an effort to provide the residents with more current news, the Senior Estates Country Club – Management Council has accepted the offer of the Woodburn Independent to publish the “News & Views” in the Woodburn newspaper, as of April 1st. They hope for better news coverage and save the cost of issuing the local newssheet, which became more expensive. The Woodburn Independent would delivered free to non-subscribers for a period of three months and lead to more subscribers.

The News & Views book stops here and now was published by the Woodburn Independent newspaper. The News & Views annual book starts again at issue October 29, 1966.

The following are articles compiled into a book by Mariette Pilgrim. It was later used for the 25th anniversary celebration.

In 1965, plans were made to expand the boundaries of the community to the south across Highway 214 by the addition of another three hundred fi fty acres. More home sites and another 9-hole golf course. This addition would make Senior Estates the only retirement community in the Northwest with a full 18-hole golf course in 1965.

Over half the sites in the new south area were golf course view sites. Plans were made for three hundred forty-fi ve such sites with an average size of each lot being about 4,780 square feet. Service wiring in the section was to be underground, giving a clear, unhampered look to the area.

The addition of the second 9-hole course added greatly to the value of the property in Senior Estates, but it also brought new problems. The added number of members made existing facilities at the clubhouse overcrowded. No special plans had been made to take care of the added population in the clubhouse facilities. It would be up to the residents later to try to solve the problem. This addition greatly increased the value of each home, but it also made each homeowner responsible for the over-all expense of keeping up the corporation common area property.

There had been considerable controversy over acceptance of residents of the proposed Mobile Home Park as members of Senior Estates Country Club. In October the Management Council agreed that such residents would be allowed to become associate members. Soon after this decision was made to purchase thirty-one acres for the Mobile Home Park was completed by Senior Estates Inc.

retirement community in Oregon, Woodburn Estates & Golf here in the heart of the beautiful Willamette Valley has NO pickleball courts.

Most 55+ communities have at least two courts, most many more, to accommodate the 3.3 million players in this country. California and Arizona, where many of our residents spend winter months, have multiple courts but when residents come home to Woodburn they have no place to play during our beautiful summer season.

Once a backyard game created by three businessmen for family fun in Seattle, pickleball has exploded into the fastest growing sport in America, with 7000 facilities, 21,000 courts, and more opening every month.

The game is good for seniors because it’s quick and easy to learn, good exercise and reinforces hand-eye coordination. ”In just a few days here at the WEG, I gathered a list of nearly 50 homeowners who want pickleball courts built in our community,” said resident Donna Stone. Not only will these courts provide good outdoor activity, they enhance our home value, attracting new buyers to WEG. Call for information 760-851-5902 and to learn the game.

Pickleball Is More Than a Goofy Name

by Alice Weaver This has been a very unusual year. In spite of all the enforced free time

that we have had during the COVID-19 quarantine, it seems like there is never enough time to get everything done. Home care and our yards usually fall toward the bottom of the list.

If you've been thinking of what you might want to get done to improve the appearance of your home and yard but aren't sure how you can do it, be encouraged! There are plenty of resources within our community!

Woodburn Estates phone directory and News & Views both have advertisements for services that you may need to get the job(s) done. Your local city newspaper also has ads for your information. But to help you get to some information even more quickly, here is a suggested list of services that will help you out with everything you need to make your yard look lovely.
