Community Announcements
West Haven road classification resolvedLast month we wrote about the concerns of neighbors in the West Haven area about the re-classification of a yet-to-be-built section of 95th Street leading from Barnes Road past the St. Vincent’s Hospital campus and into their neighborhood. They were concerned that if the road was classified as a collector, it would result in too much traffic in their neighborhood, with cars going too fast. The Board of Washington County Commissioners voted at their October 20 meeting to engross Ordinance 718 to limit the re-classification to the St. Vincent’s property. This compromise was reached after Commissioner Strader met with area residents to hear their concerns. Some neighbors still don’t want to see the road go through at all, and it’s unclear when it would be built.

Milltown Soccer is a kick!
President Eric Ufer says that the program served nearly 1000 kids in 2009, up from 750 kids last year. They work closely with parents as volunteer coaches, board/committee members and corporate relationships including Nike, Lee Davies Realty, Pizza Schmizza and Sport Clips. Ufer says, “We believe we can all work together to make a better soccer program for our kids while helping generate more business for our local corporate supporters.” He continues, “We were the Portland Timbers opening night ball kids, and Timber Buddies (our kids walked the Timbers players onto the field). Great experience for our kids that we will repeat next season as we continue to grow our relationship with the Portland Timbers.” “Many of our kids go on to play soccer at Sunset High School, universities etc. Our program only costs between $55-85 per player. This includes a Nike jersey, field time, insurance and other benefits,” says Ufer. The low cost of the program is made possible by the sponsors.
