Pink Ball is a Big Hit
One of the Pink Ball Tournament's newest fundraisers is tee box
sponsors. Here, the Pink Ball Committee shows off a few. From l-r
members are: Dianne Reiter, Joyce Bowden, Pat Tewell, Martha

We all know what a wonderful
place Charbonneau is to live. Yes,
the setting is beautiful, but what
really sets Charbonneau apart are
the people who live here. Never
was this more evident than at the
Pink Ball Tournament on September 11.
This event has steadily grown
- from very modest beginnings
seven years ago to the biggest
golf tournament at Charbonneau
- not because of the prestige or
big prizes. It has grown because
our community wants to make a
cancer. And, we certainly have.
This year, our friends and neighbors donated over $8,500 to the
American Cancer Society. Now
THAT makes a statement!!!

fortunate to have two corporate
sponsors, TFC Plating and OrePac

30th Annual Arts
Festival Set Oct. 6/7
By Denise McPhail
In October, when you step
through the Country Club’s front
door to help celebrate the Charbonneau Arts Festival’s 30th anniversary, you’ll be greeted by
the pastel art of Chris Raish. We
reported on her amazing background in the August Villager. At
four she was a voice-over actress
for Walt Disney (“Uncle Walt” to
Chris). She still has acting chops,
but is best known for the portraits
she paints of children she has seen
in her extensive travels.
You can meet Chris and the
other artists showing this year
at the Festival’s preview Artist
Showcase on Saturday, October 6
from 4 to 8 pm. The $10 fee for

Living Local Comes with Responsibilities
Charbonneau
Country Club
President
GENE PRONOVOST
Fall is right around the corner,
and with that comes the inevitable
“leaf drop.” Charbonneau enjoys
one of the largest urban forests in
the region. French Prairie Road
alone has almost 1,000 trees. They
provide shade, habitat for wildlife
and, most importantly, add to our
home property values.
But….along with this amenity
comes responsibility. Charbonneau Country Club and the City
of Wilsonville request residents
take the time to clear storm drains
of fallen leaves when the rain
begins. Our landscape companies do their best to remove the
leaves as quickly as possible, but
they cannot be here 24/7. Often,
strong winds will occur on the
weekends. If you are out walking
and notice a storm drain blocked
by leaves and debris, please take
a moment to clear it. This helps
prevent standing water on our
roads, which is a danger to drivers and pedestrians alike.
As many of you know, Charbonneau experienced numerous
thefts from vehicles this summer.
I urge everyone to park their vehicles inside of their garages if possible. If you must leave your car
in the driveway, please be sure to
lock it and never, ever leave any
valuables inside. In fact, it is a
good idea to not leave anything
inside your car. Thieves do not
know if something is worth taking until they get inside of your
vehicle. It is a shame we must
take such precautions, but even as
safe as Charbonneau is, there will
always be those who take advantage of easy opportunities to steal.
In addition to making sure your
home and vehicles are always
locked and safe, I urge everyone
to contact our nightly security
patrol service, First Response,
whenever you will be away from
your home for an extended pe
a list of “vacation-watch” homes
and will keep an eye on these
houses for any problems. The
number to call is on page 40 of
the 2012 Charbonneau Residents’
Directory.
As the daylight hours grow
shorter, I encourage all walkers,
runners and bicyclists to wear
brightly-colored clothing. Re
Please watch out for cars and use
the pathways and roads safely.
Most of our drivers are courteous and look for pedestrians and
bikes. Help them out by being as
visible as possible during the dark
hours, and in daylight as well.
And remember, you do not
need to get soaking wet or have
the rain postpone your walk or
run. The Charbonneau Fitness
Center is at your disposal. For the
nominal fee of $50 for six months,
you have access to treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals and other
exercise equipment. Don’t let the
weather stop you from getting
the exercise that we all know is
so good for us. Stop by the CCC

transitions to winter, it is important to take time to thank the
many people who step up to help
support the Charbonneau Golf
Course throughout the year. The
work done by these volunteers
has helped the golf course remain
a major asset for all of us.
There are at least eight active
committees, consisting of nearly
50 volunteers who work in the following areas: Finance, Golf Shop
and Policies, Green and Maintenance, Communications, Human
Resources, Marketing, Planning
and the Water Company.
The valuable Adopt-A-Hole
group has made the golf course
more beautiful with their efforts of
planting and maintaining the tee
marker beds and weeding the tees,
fairways and green surrounds.
These are tasks that our small
maintenance staff does not have
time to accomplish. Charbonneau
Golf Course looks better and offers a welcoming atmosphere because of these volunteers.
The Tuesday work parties,
made up of men and women
volunteers, have supported the
course by doing a wide variety
of projects: cleaning outside the
Pro Shop area, placing the new
driving range mats in the ground,
building new portable score
piles and many more things. It
truly is heartwarming to receive
their help.
Fortunately, we have sponsors
who step up to fund activities for
the course in several areas. These
help with the women’s and men’s
clubs through their careful and
appreciated contributions.
This community support has
not stopped with the aforementioned. The Together We Can Do It
campaign reinforced the community’s support for the golf course
by raising over $200,000 in the
past two years. Many volunteers
brought the story of Charbonneau
to a large number of residents
who contributed, voluntarily, to a
fund to help the golf course maintain the condition of the course
at a higher level, while focusing
on getting some deferred projects
caught up. Those projects will
continue to be worked on through
the winter months. Of great importance was the rejuvenated
support the entire community,
golfers and non-golfers, showed
by acknowledging the important
role that the golf course plays in
sustaining the home values and
attracting future residents.
Belated thanks also go to the
many past members of the golf
club’s volunteer boards of directors. They were skillful in balancing the desired golf activities,
providing landscape water to homeowners associations and cater
tion while running a golf business
that had no food and beverage
service or room for outside tournaments to congregate and have
a beverage after play. This was
not an easy task, but many people
brought their expertise to keep
the golf course running.
Now, the boards of the non

all is the long term viability of the
Charbonneau Golf Course.
To those who continue each
year to make this a better community, I send a heartfelt thank you.

The patron saint of our church,
St. Francis of Assisi, had deep
feelings for the world around
him. He loved and respected all
of God's creation--calling animals
his brothers and sisters. He is often pictured calling to the birds,
or having one sit on his shoulder.
Now, almost a thousand years later, we are still called to be aware
of the natural world and to care
for it.
What we all also know is that
animals, in return, give back to
humans in many ways. Pet care/
companionship has been advocated for the improvement of human
health since the mid-18th century.

Yes, Mike Murray is a snowbird. Out of curiosity, I checked

ure out how long he was gone
last winter. The last work-party
e-mail from him in 2011 came on
October 23. The NEXT e-mail
came on income tax day, April
15, 2012. So, without a hitch,
nearly six months pass and he’s
right back at it! Why am I writing about Mike’s time here versus
in the sun? Because he accomplishes more for our golf club in
six months than most of us do in
six years! Ask most golfers (man
Mike Murray
Club Champion
or woman) who they think volunteers the most, keeping our golf
course and its surroundings in
shape, and you’ll only get one answer: Our new Club Champion,
Mike Murray!
With wife, Diane, he enjoys
his life here in Charbonneau. So,
how can a guy who’s only here
about half the year do so much?
Because he genuinely cares about
our course and isn’t afraid to push
new ideas. Just recently, in addition to organizing all the normal
cleanup-fix-up-Tuesday-morning-volunteer-work group activities, Mike has been instrumental
in installing our new driving range
mats, the new score boards under
the tent and helping another super volunteer, Elizabeth Barrett,
with the very successful Concert
on the Green.
Bottom Line: We don’t thank
our volunteers enough! As our
golf club works to stay successful,
helpers like Mike and his “work
party” keep our course competitive and looking good!
The Men’s Club thanks you,
Mike, for all you do!
Mike is also an accomplished
golfer. His recent win in the Club
Championship is his FOURTH!

October Events at Aurora Colony
By Reg Keddie
PIECING TOGETHER THE
PAST WITH THE PRESENT
“Seeing Red” is the theme for
the 40th Annual Quilt Show at the
Old Aurora Colony Museum. The
popular quilt show opens Friday,
October 12, and continues until
Sunday,October 21.
New quilts, submitted by local
and regional quilters, will be displayed throughout the Old Aurora
Colony Museum and other museum buildings. There will also be
vintage and antique quilts, including some historic quilts from the
Museum’s collection. Don’t forget to view the quilt created from
last year’s “Seeing Red” block
sold for this vibrant and colorful
work during the quilt show. The
block contest theme for this year
is “Celebrating Our Golden Memories." Submissions received for
this contest will be pieced together and displayed at the 2013 quilt
show as part of the Aurora Colony
Historical Society’s 50th birthday
celebration. For more information
on the quilt block competition,
call the Old Aurora Colony Museum at 503-678-5754, visit the
Web site:www.auroracolony.org,
or e-mail [email protected].
There will be quilting demonstrations and a featured quilter.
Shoppers can snap up quilting
accessories, necessities and more
fabric bargains for their stash
closets at the country store. And
don’t forget to stop at the coffee shop area to rest up between
shopping and quilt viewing!
The museum educates visitors
about the buildings and history
of the Aurora Colony, Nearly 600
people, almost all German and
Swiss emigrants, established and
lived in this Christian communal
society from 1856 to 1883.

our summer reading of several
mysteries. So, for October we
have chosen two very different
books. On October 9, we will review The Night of the Radishes,
by Sandra Benitez. This novel
takes our central character, Annie,
from Minnesota to Oaxaca, Mexico at Christmas. This explains
the title of the book: Oaxaca ar
hard radish roots and enter them
in a contest during the Christmas
celebrations. Annie’s mother has
just died and left a journal that reveals family secrets which compel her to search for her long-lost
brother. While looking for him,
Annie meets Joe, who helps her
in her search. They become soul
mates, as Joe is also recovering
from a loss. Benitez describes the
geographical beauty and the culture and customs of the Oaxaca
people. Annie’s search not only
leads her to her brother and a new
family in Mexico, but to a better
understanding of her past and forgiveness. One reviewer called it
a “warm and fuzzy” book. I am
anxious to hear your opinion.
Our next book, Pearl Buck
in China, is by Hilary Spurling,
who has written several widelypraised biographies. Buck grew
up in China, the child of a fanatical missionary father and a very
unhappy mother. Pearl took refuge in reading…especially Dickens, which she reread annually.
She was a blond, blue-eyed Chinese girl who was an oddity in her
adopted country. When she came
to Virginia in 1910 to go to college, she was an oddity here. In
1917, she married John Lessing
Buck, an American agricultural
economist in China, and traveled
with him to the interior of China.
Life was not easy for her; and, in
1929, she returned to New Jersey
to settle her severely impaired
daughter into an institution.
When she returned to China, she
sat down at her typewriter and, in
The Good
Earth, the book that made her the
#
Nobel Prize for literature.
Spurling has fashioned a portrait of the life of this extraordinary author that is not always
^
America of being a Communist
and denounced by the Chinese as
an Imperialist. Time magazine

Why is There a Walker and Bath

I know many of you are getting ready to head south for the
warmth of the winter sunshine. I
also know that many of you took
care of your health care needs
while here this summer. You may
have borrowed some equipment
from the Sunshine Service. If
so, please check your closets, attics, garages and any other hiding
place you tend to put things you
want out of sight until you get a
chance to return them. Our storage area is quite bare this time
of year and, should any of our
residents need equipment during
the long winter and spring, we
provide many of the items they
might request. So, please take
the time to locate what you have
borrowed and make arrangements
to return it. If you are unable to
contact the volunteer with whom
you previously worked, you can
call any volunteer listed on page

thanks you and wishes you a safe
journey and a wonderful, sunny

Stink Bug: Latest Problem Insect in Area
By Mike Bondi
Have you seen the blue lights
along Miley Road, at the entrance
gates to the North Willamette
Research and Extension Center
(NWREC)? The lights have been
on every evening since spring,
and will continue until the wet
and rainy nights of fall. With
more dark now in the evenings,
you will have a better view of
them this month.
Their purpose? To attract a
new and, potentially, very destructive insect, called the Brown
Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB).
This species of stink bug is an invasive agricultural pest native to
China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
However, the insect can feed on a
wide variety of plants, including
landscape ornamentals and food
crops. So, the BMSB can be a
major problem in urban/suburban
areas, too.
Z
United States in Pennsylvania in
1996. In the East, the bug is now
considered a nuisance and is moving into food cropping areas with
especially serious damage in
Œ
affecting small fruits, vegetables
and wine grapes.
Here in the Willamette Valley,
the concern is the presence of the
bug, its biology, life cycle and
spread. The blue lights in front
of NWREC are traps, and their
attractiveness to BMSBs are currently being tested. Like moths,
stink bugs are attracted to porch
lights as well as bright lights at
gas stations and other buildings.
Researchers in West Virginia determined that blue light spectra
are most attractive to BMSB.
Studies at NWREC are examining if the lights can be used to lure
the insects for monitoring. This is
part of a statewide survey looking
at the insect’s presence and eventual control.
Additional work is being done
on possible natural, biological
controls for this pest. Scientists
are looking for natural enemies of
the BMSB in Oregon and evaluating their impact on our pest populations.
Now you know why the blue
lights are on at NWREC. Come
on by some time for a look!
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is an invasive species that feeds
on a wide variety of plants, including landscape ornamentals and
food crops.

Know Community Sign Rules
All homeowners, rental landlords, realtors, and estate sales
representatives need to be aware
of Charbonneau’s sign restrictions. The Charbonneau Country
Club has the authority to remove
signs from prohibited locations.
The sign restrictions were created to maintain the ambiance of
the beautiful main thoroughfare
that runs through our community.
The rules have been in existence
so long that most residents probably do not realize that prior to
establishing these rules, signs
would “blossom” every weekend
at multiple corners up and down
French Prairie Road -- each sign
vying for a more prominent location than the one next to it. The
loveliness of our tree-lined bou
and the CCC board was called
upon to “do something.”
In conjunction with the City of
Wilsonville Sign Code, Charbonneau regulations have been written to prohibit signs along French
Prairie Road but to allow temporary signs on cross streets with a
30-foot setback from the French
Prairie Road curb. This policy
allows homeowners, and agents
of homeowners, the ability to
alert passersby of a house or estate sale, without undermining
the beauty of our community.
Home sellers, realtors, estate
sale representatives and others
need to be cognizant of these
rules. Following the rules will
minimize the possibility of a negative impact on an open house or
estate sale. Please be sure to communicate with the professionals
involved in your sale.
October Rotary
For Rotary members worldwide, October is Vocational Service Month. What does that entail? Vocational service focuses
on: 1) Adhering to and promoting
the highest ethical standards in all
occupations, 2) recognizing the
value of all useful occupations,
not just those that are pursued
by Rotarians and 3) contributing
one’s vocational talents to meeting the needs of the community.
Also in October, the Wilsonville Rotary Club will have several interesting speakers tell us
about the mission and plans of
their organizations.

Our year is winding down.
Most of the big stuff is behind us.
As I write this, our Club Championship and Handicap Tournaments are yet to be played. Congratulations to the winners; as you
read this, you already know who
you are. And, there’s the September 27 Stagette, traditionally
a joyous day for out-going presidents and wine makers.
About the only things left to do
stare at our navels.
I mention the latter owing to a
questionnaire from the Golf Advisory Committee, which is made
up of CWGA members Dana
Richmond, Carol Brownlow,
Jackie Akin and Kris Fulton.
Based on our responses, the Committee will recommend changes
to our practices and schedule with
the aim of making CWGA more
enjoyable and attractive to current and prospective members.
The Committee is asking all of
us to rank our events and to comment on them. Committee members want to know what would
make you play more frequently
and your suggestions for improving CWGA. If you didn’t answer
by September 12, they promise to
track you down with e-mails and
phone calls.
Giving thoughtful responses to
the questions is probably easier
than dodging the Committee. After the Committee members have
sorted through the rankings and
suggestions, they will come back
to us to democratically decide
changes. So, stare at that navel.
(And if you can’t see it, go on a
€’
proves one’s game.)
Planning for the coming year
is a job fraught with uncertainty.
It is also rife with opportunity to
enhance our appeal to new and
current members. The earliest we
will have a chance to consider the
Committee’s recommendations is
at our October 4 meeting. That
is also when we will swear in our

“Memories” was the sweetly
sarcastic theme of our August 16
Guest Day. Shirlee Valo and Lois

two-day event. On Wednesday,
Judy Miller and her guest, Susie Lucas, won the horserace.
This was followed by an intimate
cocktail party in the Amnesia

with her String of Pearls trio,
entertained members and guests
with the songs from the 40s and

woke up and remembered that
I left the door open and the groceries on the front porch…” Our
bartenders were Frank Catania,
Bob Graham and Ron Leeper.
They opened our wine, served
us ice and fetched whatever we
wanted.
On Thursday, it was supposed
to be all serious business; but
the men in our lives kept it light.
Bob Cole, Tony Holt and Don
Higgins were our fantastic parking lot attendants who, amazingly, “forgot” how to match their
clothing. It seemed amnesia had
crept up on them, too. We can’t

Dear Editor,
I am writing in to voice my
support for Susie Stevens. Over
the years she has been a wonderful advocate for the Charbonneau
neighborhood, and I believe she
would take those skills to the city
council.
I have always known Susie to
care about this community and
to have the utmost of integrity.
I would ask you to vote for Susie Stevens for Wilsonville City
Council this November. She is the

Honesty Best Policy
I am writing to complain about
an incident that happened on
Wednesday, September 5.
A couple, who was playing
golf, teed off and hit a workman
on our patio. As they approached
our home, it appeared they were
just going to continue their golf
game like nothing happened. So,
I greeted them and asked for their
names, phone number and address. I called the Pro Shop to
give them the info. They said
they had no one registered by that
name.
I was very angry, as they
didn’t even seem concerned. The
Pro shop employees watched for
them, based on the description of
the clothes they were wearing.
As they were getting into
their car, a Pro shop employee
asked, “Are you the ones who hit
a workman with your golf ball?”
The woman replied, “Yes.”
But, it turns out that the info
they gave me was wrong…wrong
name, wrong phone number,
wrong address.
They are Charbonneu residents.
I am writing this letter to the
editor because we, in Charbonneau, do not do this!
He is doing okay, but he surely could have been very seriously
hurt.
Regretfully,
Helen Close

New Markers in Charbonneau
The Wilsonville-Boones Ferry
Historical Society (W-BFHS) has
added three heritage markers to
its series of sixteen markers that
dot the Wilsonville landscape.
Two of the three new installations
are in Charbonneau.
One honors Edith Green,
namesake for a sports park located on the eastern perimeter
of Charbonneau, facing Country
View Lane. The park was created
in the early 1980s by Willamette
Factors, the developer of Charbonneau. But, a sign was never
put in place. The Charbonneau
Women's Association paid for the
production of the marker and WBFHS wrote the narrative and coordinated the installation.
Green was known as “Mrs.
Education” during her 10 terms in
the United States Congress. She
also initiated the statute that created Title XI, a law passed forty
years ago in July, which enabled
equality in sports and academia
for women attending federallyfunded schools.
Green moved to Charbonneau
after her retirement from Congress and was elected to the board
of directors of Benjamin Franklin
Federal Savings & Loan, parent
company of Willamette Factors.
^
for the construction of the Wilsonville Community Center.
A second Charbonneau marker
was installed at the northeast corner of Old Farm and French Prairie Roads, identifying the site of
the historic Jacob Miley House.
The three-story house was
built in 1865 by members of the
Aurora Colony. It served as the
commune's shipping base at its
Willamette River landing. The
home, occupied by the Miley
family into the 1940s, was moved
to Aurora in 1990, where it has
been restored as a café and antiques store. Four additional heritage markers are in Charbonneau.
All are located along the northern
portion of French Prairie Road.
W-BFHS also produced a heritage marker fronting the “Old
Church” in Wilsonville's Old
Town on Boones Ferry Road,
which is now part of McMenamins Pub. The church, built
in 1911 for $3,500 (raised from
members of the congregation),
has been a beloved landmark for
years. Its steeple top - 53 feet tall made it the tallest building in Wilsonville for decades. “The Old
Church had been at the top of our
list since we initiated the heritage
marker program 10 years ago,”
said Charbonneau resident, Mick
Scott, who coordinated each of
the heritage marker projects. “Initially, we decided not to produce
a marker because we didn't know
the disposition of the church.
We just didn't know, at the time,
whether the church would be preserved or destroyed. The historical society and many others made
appeals to save the building; and
McMenamins stepped up to restore the church. It re-opened in
www.charbonneaucountryclub.com
August 2011, almost 100 years to
the day of its dedication.”
More than 110 vintage photos from the W-BFHS archives
now adorn the walls. In return,

and Nostalgia
This 1937 Cord Custom Beverly owned by Charbonneau
residents, Don and Linda Brugh, won the Best of Show.
The couple is pictured here with Linda's mother, Gertrude
Ahlbert, a resident at SpringRidge.
The Best of Show winners of
the SpringRidge Car Show are
Charbonneau residents Don and
Linda Brugh (pictured above).
Their car is a 1937 Cord Custom Beverly that features front
wheel drive which was way ahead
of its time for that era. It has retractable headlights that come out
of the fenders.
"They were in competition
with Cadillac when they came
out," said Don. "They couldn't
produce the cars fast enough, and
they couldn't keep up with the demand."
Don originally was interested in Packards, Cadillacs and
Buicks; but when he found the
Cord in California, he changed
his tune.
"I thought it was so different,
and so rare" he said. "That I got
into this one."
He tore it down and rebuilt it.
The process started in 1992, and
it took him until this summer to
get everything done.
A lot of times, it was at a shop
waiting for some work to be done.
Nostalgic cars are not new to
Don.
"I had some nice cars when I
was younger," he said.
He rattled off a list that included a 1942 and a 1947 Cadullac,
a 1933 Plymouth Roadster and a
"56 Chey Belaire hard top, as well
as a 1934 Ford pick up.
Don found out about the Car
Show from his mother-in-law,
Gertrude Ahlberg, who told him
SpringRidge was holding it.

contest. Last year, he had it in the
Oregon Gardens Smell the Roadsters Car Show. He also showed
it in Milwaukie where it won Best
Car in its class. More recently,
the car won Best of Other category in Canby and another Best
Of Class category at the Oregon
Heritage Collector Car Show in
Lake Oswego.
Patio/BBQ Redesign
The Charbonneau Country
Club Board is reviewing plans
to redesign the barbeque area between the Clubhouse and the Tennis building. We currently have
no outside space set aside for
community events. We believe
that this area, along with the barbeque, has been under-utilized for
a very long time.
There have been many events
this past summer—such as Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts, two
Tennis Club events, Juniors Golf
and lunch and evening community golf events—during which
members could have utilized the
outdoor facilities.
The plans include a full-sized,
concrete patio with seating for
www.charbonneaucountryclub.com
100+. It would include appliances, such as an ice maker, refrigerator and sink with hot and cold
running water. Initially, tables,
chairs and umbrellas would be
used for seating. A retaining wall
would enclose the patio. The cart
path/road would be widened from
7 ½ feet to 9 feet and repaved,
providing room for golf cart parking.
We think this will be a great addition to the Charbonneau Community and will be utilized by
many groups. If you would like
more information, please contact

Chair at 503-694-5214.

The League of Women Voters

Woman Suffrage Association.
The Convention was held just six
months before the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was
to vote after a 72 year struggle.
The League was designed to
help 20 million women carry out
their new responsibilities as voters, encouraging them to use their
new power to participate in shaping public policy. It was then and
is now an activist, grassroots organization playing a critical role
in advocacy. The League neither
supports or opposes candidates
or political parties at any level
of government but does publish
candidate guides to create an informed electorate and continues
to work on vital issues of concern
to members and the public.

When I met Richard Goddard two years ago as he successfully ran for a position on the
Wilsonville City Council, he said
he would act to reduce the city's
urban renewal debt in a responsible manner and return property
to the tax role. He's done that and
he believes in citizens having a
voice on new urban renewal proj

When the current mayor argued against budget cuts, Richard
™
result was savings of about one
million dollars with no impact on
existing city services.
Richard supports funding
needed infrastructure in Charbonneau rather that spending $20 million on a bicycle bridge across the
Willamette River.
Richard has a solid reputation
of building consensus on the city
council while our current mayor
is often in divisive situations with
others on a variety of issues.
The current mayor wants his
hands in your pockets to compensate his service to the city to the
tune of $26,000 a year. Richard
will willingly serve as a volunteer with no stipend. That's as it
should be.
I ask you to join me in voting
for Richard Goddard for Mayor of
Wilsonville.

SO
Here we are, rolling into autumn already! The Wilsonville
Public Library Foundation kicked
off its annual fundraising schedule this past month, with a postcard mailing to slightly over 500
local residents. It wasn't a "hard"
sell; instead, it was a reminder
of the necessity of donations to
keep your Library functioning to
the best of its ability. The building, utilities and payroll are all
paid for with tax dollars. The
"extras"—equipment,
classes
and programs—are paid for with
Foundation monies. Keep in mind
that we are one of the BEST community libraries around! Take
some time to really check out
what we offer besides books.
I'd like to take a moment here
to introduce you to our Board of
Directors: President Bob Wiesenthal is a retired attorney from
Chicago. He is also a Charbonneau resident. Hilly Alexander,
vice president, is a volunteer
extraordinaire at the Library!
Carole Hanna, our secretary,
is a retired tax consultant. Alan
Steiger, treasurer, is a practicing
CPA. Add to that impressive list
of folks: Pat Duke, our current
library director; Reggie Gaines,
a banker with Wells Fargo; Michael Jeanfreau, with Vereo Financial Group; Greg Pauly, with
Allied Waste Services; Dr. Mary
Pettenger, associate professor at
Western Oregon Univesity, Dick
Spence, retired from Xerox and
another Charbonneau resident,
and yours truly . . . Joan Vedder,
"Jill of all Trades."
We are ordinary people whose
passion is to bring you the best
possible library services that we
can offer. We volunteer; because
we sincerely care about the library's "bigger picture" here, for
Wilsonville citizens. Won't you
please consider a donation, large
The Board of the Wilsonville
Public Foundation consists of

the proceeds going to fund breast,
ovarian, colon and leukemia/lymphoma research organizations.
So, in 2005, she founded Sophisticated Beads.

Swarovski Crystals, semi-precious stones and sterling silver in
her designs.
Lea describes herself as a
“gem nerd” and likes to design
with stones that have stories behind them. She has been designing jewelry for the Rose Festival
Court for six years and creates
special pieces for weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions. She works with brides
all over the country and her collections can be found in stores
throughout Oregon.
When confronted with getting
a master’s degree in psychology,
not many psych students would
conclude “Why not give glass
blowing a year?” Kyle Kraiter’s
year started in 2000 with glassblowing workshops in the state of
Washington. He never went back
for that master’s in Social work.
He went to New Zealand instead.
And, the art world is better for it.

In 2009, he was the featured

New Zealand, Wyoming, Nevada and Ohio. Kyle’s art falls
into three categories: decorative,
functional and interpretive. You
can see it at the Festival.

of pets and a self-taught artist
who works from photographs.

in-home studio. For the past 25
years or so, she has mainly painted cats, dogs and horses. And, occasionally, she strays into wildlife
and landscapes. But, pets are her
subjects of choice.
When asked how she captures
the personality of a pet she’s never met, Crowston says, “If you get
of its personality.”
Obvious follow-up question:
“But, how do you get the eyes
right?” She says that it requires
considerable consultation with the
pet’s owner. Crowston doesn’t
paint until she has a clear picture
in her mind of the animal’s personality. And, she must have a
good photograph of the pet, either
digital or hard copy.
If you’re considering having
your pet’s portrait done, look at
Crowston’s Web site: portraitsinpastelbyJudy.com. It shows a
variety of pet paintings, reviews
the artist’s process and gives pricing information. If you’ll be at
the Art Festival on October 6 or
7, and think you might want her
to paint your pet, bring his or her
photo with you. Within four to
six weeks, you could have a beautiful portrait.
Metal Sculptor Terry Powers,
of Sandy, uses tools and other everyday artifacts to produce garden
art. Some of his works are very
large: a truck, a tractor, a trum
\
and birds are small but are still inspired whimsy. He’ll bring both
to the Arts Festival.
Terry and his wife, Sue, own
and operate Three Sisters Nursery, about two miles toward
Mount Hood from Sandy. He was
in the auto repair business, which
required welding skill. Terry also
is an avid recycler. His metal art
sculptures draw from both occupations and are made exclusively
from recycled metal.
His initial work was a fourposter bed, which he made in
miniature for his wife to use with
bedding plants. Trellises, fences,

The instructor introduced him
to a new type of paper for watercolors, called Yupo. Its plastic
content leaves colors brighter,
since it doesn’t absorb paint like
water-color paper normally does.
Its cost is less than half that of
regular water-color paper, and it
holds its shape better. Perhaps
most important, if you make a
mistake, you just wash it off with
water. A watercolorist’s dream.
Before he retired, Hart spent
many years as a commercial artist for technical publications. He
also had a business in Gresham
selling prints, so he knows the exhibition side of the business. His
work hung in several Florida galleries before he moved to Oregon.
Until recently Dale had never
shown his work here. Now, his

screens and other standard garden ornaments followed. They
may be standard, but they are not
“usual.” Where others may see
a worn-out water meter, Powers
may see a face, a clock, a garden
stake or an animal.
Many of his works incorporate
animals and all metals are donated, often by customers. Powers art features old tools, such as
saw blades, sprockets and hammers, which can be incorporated
into larger works such as fences
or gates, or stand-alone backdrops
for smaller pieces.
Dale Hart has been a water
colorist for 50-plus years. Many
artists complain that water colors are too tough to correct, or
change, if you make a mistake.
But, Dale stuck with them despite

Niners Performance for
CCC EAT, DRINK, DANCE
Each year, Charbonneau’s
9-hole Women’s golf club has
an end of the year banquet for
their members. Several Niners
entertain their group by putting
on a production of dance, skits
and music. These productions
have become so popular that we
thought it would be fun to offer
this special brand of Charbonneau
entertainment to the community.
Here is the premise:
In 2010, Julia Roberts starred
in the movie, Eat, Pray, Love. She
traveled the world to seek enlightenment. The movie inspired several Niners to plan a “vacation”
together. They hired tour director
JoAnna Sawyer who will have
the group travelling to several
destinations, including: Mexico,
Hawaii, Italy, France, Louisiana
and Nashville. They will share
their experiences as they EAT,
DRINK and DANCE their way
around the world.
So, get your suitcases packed,
your passports in order and purchase your tickets from the CCC

Portland’s Singing
Christmas Tree Making
Music and Memories Since
1962
In 1962, Packy, the elephant,
was the biggest draw in the Rose
City; John F. Kennedy was
the new president of the United
States; the cost of gas was 31¢
per gallon; the average house sold
for $15,000 and optimism was
high for a group of people who
wanted to bring something new
to Portland…a singing Christmas
tree! Thanks to those dedicated
founders and a starting budget of
just $500, the “Tree” was formed
and appreciative audiences have
been making this a holiday tradition ever since.
On Sunday, December 2, our
Charbonneau group will travel by
deluxe motor coach to The Keller
Auditorium where we will enjoy
the 1:30 pm performance of “The
Singing Christmas Tree.”
This year’s performance will
be inspired by special guest performers: Timothy Greenidge,
Georgine Rice, The Jefferson
Dancers and Katie Harmon.
Katie, you may remember, is
Miss America 2002 and former
Miss Oregon 2001.
After the show, our motor
coach will pick us up just outside
the front doors and will whisk us
over to the Westin Hotel where
we will enjoy a no host “happy
hour” at the Daily Grill.
We are anticipating arriving
back at Charbonneau at 6 pm.
Tickets for this wonderful seasonal event are $75 and includes
transportation and concert tickets.
Start a new Christmas tradition by
inviting your friends and family

Rebecca Kilgore & Tom
Grant Here on December 14
A special holiday concert is
planned for Friday, December 14
featuring talented Vocalist Rebecca Kilgore and gifted Pianist
Tom Grant.
Rebecca will soothe you with
her smooth vocal tones and artistic sense of timing.
“Rebecca is simply one of the
best interpreters of The Great
American Songbook. She has a
gorgeous voice and has a deep
connection with every song she
touches. In a world of pretenders,
she’s absolutely the real thing. I
love what she does!” ~Michael
Feinsten~
Tom Grant walks the line between the jazz tradition and modern pop. He has been on the
Tonight Show with Jay Leno
and has had four number one albums on Adult Contemporary and
Smooth Jazz charts. Quite an impressive career!
Tickets for this top-notch talent are available in the CCC of

New Year’s Eve Party
“Dancing in the Moonlight”
For the best seats, purchase

party happening Monday, December 31.
Delicious appetizers will be set

friends and make new acquaintances. It will be followed by a
formal dinner at 7 pm, catered by
Dalton’s Northwest. You are invited to bring your own beverage
of choice to enjoy throughout the
evening.
Following dinner, the music
will begin at 8:30 pm; so pull
out those skillful moves as you
groove to the tunes of “One Brick
Shy,” returning to play great music from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
and ring in the New Year with
true romance, laced with merriment. Celebrate in Charbonneau!

October BGA Meeting to Focus on Annual Plans
Boys and
Girls Aid
By Candace Newland-Holley
and Farol Kahle
Second Meeting of the Year:
October 19, lunch at 11:30 am at
SpringRidge. Guests are always
welcome. Call Jan Bliss at 503539-9095 for a reservation. The
October program will feature holiday plans for Boys & Girls Aid
programs.
A new fundraiser this year will
be the sale of poinsettias from
Al’s Nursery. Four colors will be
offered: red, pink, white and red
sprinkled with white and pink.
Two sizes will be available: 6” for
$15 and 8” for $25, the same price
they sell for at Al’s. Your check
should accompany your order and
be given to Dianne McMichael.
The delivery date will be in early
December. Proceeds from the
sales will go to support the programs of Boys & Girls Aid.
We will have a change in BGA
leadership, due to the fact that
Sheila Barton is moving to Arizona for part of the year. Bernie
Perry has graciously offered to
^+
retary of Cypress Auxiliary.
Following is a short bio on
Bernie Perry in her words. “Steve
and I moved to Charbonneau 12
years ago from Beaverton, Oregon. We were drawn to Charbonneau because of its beauty
and location…near the city, but
in the country. Steve and I have
been married for 37 years. We
both have a heart for community
service. Wilsonville and Charbonneau are perfect settings for
such service. Steve is a Rotarian
and I enjoy volunteering with him
in community projects sponsored
by Rotary. A favorite “hobby” of
ours is having family and friends
for dinner. We are leaders of a
Bible study group for our church.
“My nursing career spanned
45 years. I was privileged to have
worked in many different nursing
settings including Labor and Delivery, Orthopedics and Intensive
contribution to that cause. The
words written on the last page
of our Cypress Branch Auxiliary booklet sums up my reason
for being a member of Boys and
Girls Aid: A hundred years from
now, it will not matter what kind
of car we drove. The size of the
house in which we lived will have
€
we made a difference in the life of
a child.”

The Charbonneau Villager
Local County Commision, Mayoral, Council
There are some 2,000 registered
voters in the Charbonneau District of
Wilsonville. Not only do most take
a keen interest in local politics, but
they turn out to vote in much larger
numbers than the county average.
Ahead of the Primary Election in
May, the Board of the homeowners’ association decided to ask all
the candidates here to respond to the
three questions
Following are the questions and
their responses.
Question One
The French Prairie area south of
Charbonneau, and within Clackamas
County, has been designated a Rural
Reserve to be protected for 50 years.
Are you in favor of protecting that
commitment for that period of time
and why or why not? Would you oppose any action to develop this area,
considered ‘foundation farmland’ by
the Oregon Department of Agriculture and currently zoned either EFU
or EFU conditional use and why or
why not?
Question Two
What do you consider are the
three most important items facing
the Candidates in the next four years,
­
Question
Three
Who are the top 4 contributors to
your campaign so far and what are
the amounts they have donated?

Question One
I am strongly in sup
+
ral Reserve designation
for the area south of the
Willamette River known
as French Prairie. The
Clackamas County Policy Advisory Committee,
Planning Commission,
County
Commission,
Core Four, and Metro
Council all concluded that the high-value
farmland and high-cost
‹
designation. And I fully
support it.
Question One
“I cannot imagine
METRO’s 50 year designation will stand the
test of time. At one point
Charbonneau represent
Willamette Valley yet
the “foundation farmland” now called Charbonneau was turned into
a development. Each
expansion area must be
judged on its own merits.”
Question One
I support protecting
high value agricultural
land. I understand the
French Prairie area, in
addition to concerns
about the loss of high
quality farm land, the
largest barrier for future
development is the lack
of infrastructure. Currently, government has
limited ability to invest;
tax payers do not support increased taxes or
debt; and the development community is
concerned about carry
burden for developing
infrastructure.
Question One
Yes, I believe we
should protect foundation farmland from encroaching development.
The Urban/Rural Re
by State legislation, involved the broad public
in deciding this question
serve designations. Prudent resource allocation
requires we plan growth
incrementally, on previously designated lands
adjacent existing city services.
Question Two
1. Economic development:
Improve
freight access to the Port
of Portland, grow our
local TV & Film industry; connect local manufacturers with new markets via the Brookings
Export Initiative model.
2. Improve transportation: Build Willamette
River bridge at French
Prairie and support regional projects like the
Sunrise Corridor Extension. 3. Support agriculture: Preserve foundation farmland to protect
Clackamas
County's
leading industry and
food supply.
Question Two
Money, money and
money. Government can
not do everything for all
the people. The Clackamas County Commissioners just obligated
to a yearly payment of
over $1.2 Million Dollars for light rail. That
unbudgeted
money
will be taken from core
County services. It will
come down to choosing
to pay for light rail or
to properly fund senior
services or programs for
abused children and battered women.
Question Two
Creating and retaining jobs, funding for
transportation, and services for vulnerable
populations. With the
ongoing recession, job
creation and retention
must be a priority. Our
ability to attract industry is directly related to
funding and maintaining
infrastructure. And with
a more than 62% annual increase in residents
over age 65, our predominately rural county
must address the growing needs of our aging
population.
Question Two
A.
Team building
with new Council: Effectiveness training, Best
Practices survey, Council
operations/responsibilities, establish working
agreements.
B. Complete growth
pressure planning: Coffee Creek/Basalt Creek
industrial
areas;
develop strong analysis/

Vote for Two
Question One
Since French Prairie
has a 50-year reserve
designation, Charbonneau residents need to
address truly pressing
issues that are relevant
now. I am focused on
addressing the aging
water and sewer infrastructure serving Charbonneau in a way that
preserves quality service, keeps rates under
control, and preserves
property values in our
community.
Question One
I am in favor of keeping the French Prairie
area south of Charbonneau and within Clackamas County an area
considered “foundation
farmland” for the next
50 years. There is a need
for having some green
space between cities, industrial and commercial
areas, and this should be
one of them. To do otherwise, would be to have
developments like strip
malls in cities, which
are generally ugly.
Question One
I support the rural
reserves decision in the
French Prairie. I believe
it will be instrumental
in helping Wilsonville
to focus its resources
on good planning, smart
growth and good jobs
created in the adjacent
urban reserve areas, with
agricultural industry in
the rural reserve.
Question One
Yes, I believe one of
our jobs as city counselors is to protect the
value of what already
exists. Having lived in
Charbonneau I have a
strong appreciation for
your community and
understand your concerns. My interest and
involvement in Wilsonville started from a similar effort in Old Town.
My neighbors and I
worked closely with the
City for the last seven
years to protect and de
€
the same goals and involvement from other
neighborhoods.
Question One
I support Wilson
•
mitments to regional
governmental agencies,
and believe that Wilsonville should respect the
process that resulted in
the Rural Reserve designation for the French
Prairie area. If that designation is revisited, the
City, County and Metro
should respect the voice
of the Charbonneau residents.
Question One
I strongly support
the decision to designate French Prairie, the
area south of the Willamette River, as a Rural
Reserve for the next 50
years. The Urban and
Rural Reserve process
was well-vetted and
thorough,
involving
citizens and representatives from three counties and Metro. The
result provides protection for farmers and the
region’s agricultural industry plus direction to
municipalities for future
development needs.
Question Two
We need to address
aging water and sewer
infrastructure in a way
that keeps rates under control. We need
thoughtful planning to
preserve the quality of
our community. And
we need a mayor that is
connected to our community, and will reach
out and listen to the
needs and concerns of
our citizens.
Question Two
The most important
issue is to preserve is
the Charbonneau's District water supply and
our abilty to remain
indpendent on this side
of the Willsamette. Second, we need to get and
keep citizens involved
in issues that affect their
pocektbooks. I want to
keep an open bid policy
and open door policy in
my framework. I welcome public scrutiny,
public discourse and
voter approval. Finally, I will look at where
money is bein over
correct problems.
Question Two
_
“
vest responsibly today to
accommodate the coming population increase
in a way that maintains
the atmosphere that has
attracted the people who
call Wilsonville home
today.
_
sustainable development
that supports improved
home values, public
safety and a thriving
business climate.
_
€
tive transportation options that support business, attract tourism and
maintain quality of life.
Question Two
First is supporting
ness culture by continuing the process for
and implementing the
economic development
plan. Second is enhancing the livability of Wilsonville by researching
a new community center
for seniors, families and
youth. Third is clarifying and solidifying
our planning goals to
protect our community
while providing a clear
plan for those looking
to build a project in Wilsonville.
Question Two
The City needs to 1)
continue planning for
growth in Coffee Creek
and Basalt Creek north
of town; 2) streamline
City code and practices
to save time and money;
and 3) affordably address aging infrastructure (which is why I
voted for a Water Master
Plan that prioritizes infrastructure upgrades in
Charbonneau).
Question Two
Managing
growth
while maintaining Wilsonville’s quality-of-life
is a high priority. Development of Coffee and
Basalt Creek will take
good leadership and
decision-making. I will
work to make sure infrastructure keeps pace
so the quality of our
lives is improved, not
compromised. Implementation of merging
economic development
policies must provide
the right balance between marketing the
City to attract new businesses and ensuring we
retain the quality-of-life
we have come to expect.

Editor's Note: We received
Tootie Smith's responses past
deadline and were unable to
include them with the other
candidates'
responses.
However, here are her answers
and the three questions we
asked.
Question 1
The French Prairie area south
of Charbonneau, and within
Clackamas County, an area
considered
‘foundation
farmland’ by the Oregon
Department of Agriculture, has
been designated a Rural
Reserve to be protect for 50
years. Are you in favor of
protecting that commitment for
that period of time; why or why
not?
I object to every single square inch
of land in Oregon being “Zoned” by
Q
and unrealistic over time. With that
said, farmland should be protected
but not to the point of violating
private property rights.

landscaping or concrete work.
These forms are available from
your homeowner association architectural committee or your

not result in a color or material
change. For example, even if
you are replacing your driveway
exactly how it was before, you
still need to complete a form and
obtain approval.
Securing approval is especially important if you are painting your house. Homeowners and

palette established by the CCC
Architectural Control Committee. This committee has representatives from all the HOAs and
condominiums in Charbonneau.

except those that are approved are
allowed. Homeowners who use
colors that are not approved will
be required to re-paint at their
own expense. There are binders

Going With the Flow
"The ponds in French Prairie Village are important to the
residents," said Ginger Robbins,
who has lived in French Prairie
Village four years. "The water
ways and water features are a
pretty part of the community."
Since she has lived in The Village, the water features have been
inoperable.
This year, when she became
Chair of the French Prairie Village Homeowner's Association,
she decided it was time to upgrade the clubhouse water system
work on the project.
The group was able to work on
the ponds, because other updates
in the community, such as painting the buildings and building
maintenance had come to a good
point. There will always be building maintenance going on.
The Committee decided that
now was time to work on the water features.
All the ponds were designed
as "settling ponds" to help clean
the water before it runs into the
Willamette River at the North end
of The Village. Most of the water in the ponds are run off from
Charbonneau's streets, and storm
drains, and other communitie's
+
rain water. The water in two of the
water features is recirculated and
sent downhill through the settling
ponds eventually reaching the
Willamette River.
There are three systems in
The Village: "Old Faithful" with
a big geyser. A second, with the
most recent work is in front of
the clubhouse. It showcases the
Clubhouse pond, with a geysertype feature (pictured right). This
system begins near French Prairie
Road, with a stream connecting
three ponds, a canal, the club
The third system is Upper Wil
pond that eventually goes into
the Willamette River. Hopefully
work can be done on it in the next
couple years.
The main focus of the justcompleted project was the clubhouse pond. The pond was
cleaned out, and a liner put in, the
pump was replaced and the pond
+
It took only about two weeks
to get the project completed. Besides being beautiful, the pond
helps retain rain and increases our
property values.
"Hopefully, next year, we can
do another section of the ponds,"
Ginger said.
"It is so beautiful," she said.
The Committee that worked
on the project includes: Ginger,
Left: There was a
layer of sludge at the
bottom of the
Clubhouse pond
where sediment had
accumulated. The
sludge had to be
cleaned out to help
make the system work
'
Here, the crew, hired
to help with the
project, takes out the
thick sludge.
Ginger Robbins enjoys the fountain in front of the French
Prairie Village Clubhouse. She, and other homeowners,
recently worked to get the water features in the area
/,
the French Prairie Homeowners Association wants to
complete.
Cindy Kehoe, Roger Arndt,
Ray Johnson, Judy Bridges
and Daren Michaels, who owns
DMC Construction company.
Daren and his crew did a lot of
the work on the project as well as
coordinating the specialty companies involved to move things
along in a timely manner.
Right: Before the work
could be done on the water
feature, the entire pond in
front of the French Prairie
Village Clubhouse had to
be drained.
Below: After taking out the sludge, a new foundation of
rock was laid at the bottom of the pond.
