CPO 1 studies Inter-County CommutingTuesday, September 13, 7 pm, Leedy Grange Hall, 835 NW Saltzman If you work in Portland and live in northeastern Washington County, your choices for getting to work are rather limited. You can join the slow parade of cars on Highway 26; you can go to the Sunset Transit Center before 7 am to get a parking space or have someone drop you off; you can drive in the opposite direction to find a MAX lot that doesn’t fill up that early; if you have a regular schedule, you can try to get involved in some kind of carpool; you can park at a Park-and-Ride lot and take a bus to a Transit Center; or you can drive through the hills via Thompson, Cornell, or Burnside. In any case, you’re probably wasting time, money, carbon and your nerves, and arriving at work in a less-than-optimal state of mind. We have invited representatives from area agencies responsible for roads and transit for a forum-style discussion of the issues and possible solutions. Come with your experiences, questions, and suggestions and help us try to untangle the commuting situation. Community Participation Organizations are led by volunteers elected by members of the communities they serve. CPOs encourage and empower public involvement by providing a place for community members to come together to learn about and discuss issues in a comfortable forum. It’s a place to get unbiased information about issues relating to local and County services for transportation, parks and trails, housing and business developments, public health, safety, emergency planning, schools, libraries and other matters affecting the livability of their community. You can interact with decision makers including local government and agency representatives, elected officials, and community leaders. There’s also an opportunity to engage as a group in an advisory role to the Washington County Board of Commissioners. Meetings are open to anyone interested. To vote on issues, you need to join your CPO by signing up for the newsletter (print or email). For more information, and to sign up to join your CPO, visit the website.

The homes are all in Oak Hills, a historic district in the National Register of Historic Places—the first Mid-Century Modern historic district designated on the West Coast.
These iconic “atomic age” houses trace their lineage to designs by A. Quincy Jones for Joseph Eichler in California. Today they are highly sought-after and those on the tour demonstrate the spectrum of ways this simple, elegant style can be interpreted. Tour-goers will also have a rare opportunity to meet Robert Rummer, who will be in attendance. All the homes are located within a walkable one-mile radius. Participants will see how the planned Oak Hills community was developed around its school, church, recreation center, and greenbelt pathways to create an unusual sense of neighborly continuity. Tickets are $35 to the general public; $25 for Restore Oregon members and are available at www.RestoreOregon.org or by calling 503-243-1923. Only 800 tickets will be sold.

Eat Smart! Movie SeriesSaturday, September 17, 7 pm, Leedy Grange Hall, 835 NW Saltzman.
Are you interested in food? Don’t miss Brunswick, a film you are unlikely to see in theatres, online, or in video stores.

Sanford’s land is in Brunswick, New York, a small rural town facing the challenge of balancing economic growth with the preservation of rural character. This story, though, applies to rural communities across the United States. Films are free. Donations accepted.

Free Outdoor Recreation Passes Available for Fourth Graders and their FamiliesWith the start of the new school year, it’s time for all fourth graders and their families to claim their free Every Kid in a Park pass which allows free entry into all federal parks, forests, and recreation areas for a full year.
Today, more than 80% of American families live in urban areas, and many lack easy access to safe outdoor spaces. At the same time, kids are spending more hours than ever in front of screens instead of outside. Starting September 1, fourth graders can print out a paper voucher for free entry into all federal lands by visiting the Every Kid in a Park website at www.everykidinapark.gov. Students and their families can also redeem their paper voucher for a plastic pass at any Forest Service office. The voucher and passes are valid for the entire school year, September 1, 2016-August 31, 2017. The Forest Service is partnering with schools and educators across Oregon and Washington to plan Every Kid in a Park events in local communities and distribute passes at back-to-school events this fall. For more information on upcoming Every Kid in a Park events, contact your local National Forest (visit findyourpark.com for more information). Teachers or adults who engage fourth-graders through a youth-serving organization can print paper passes, and find activities and lesson plans, at www.everykidinapark.gov/get-your-pass/educator. The Every Kid in a Park initiative encourages valuable opportunities to explore, learn, and play in the spectacular places that belong to us all and aims to inspire future generations to serve as stewards of these places!

Hillsboro Airport Hearing in U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of AppealsWednesday, October 5, 9 am, Pioneer Courthouse, 2nd Floor Courtroom, 700 SW 6th Ave. A date has been set for the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals hearing on the Hillsboro Airport third runway challenge. The legal proceedings are open to the public; however the deadline for submitting written and oral testimony has passed. In 2014, when the Port of Portland (Port) moved forward with its plan to build a third runway at Hillsboro Airport (HIO), Oregon Aviation Watch raised legal challenges before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals urging the Court to require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to assess the effect of the airport and its expansion on the surrounding community. The Port and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) opted to ignore, dismiss and minimize the numerous environmental, noise and livability concerns raised by area residents. The purpose of the runway is primarily to accommodate the for-profit flight training industry largely on behalf of out-of-state investors. One of the major beneficiaries of this arrangement is Hillsboro Aero Academy (formerly Hillsboro Aviation), a company that recruits students from around the globe then proceeds to train them over area homes and neighborhoods. During the past 86 years, HIO has grown from a grassy airstrip into the largest general aviation airport in the state. The Port of Portland has never taken a hard look or engaged in a thorough and comprehensive investigation of the environmental impacts of this facility by completing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). As a result, the full impact of HIO, which accommodates the largest flight training school in the Pacific Northwest, has never been evaluated. A review of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Port and FAA documentation reveals that HIO is now one of the biggest facility sources in the region of a host of air toxins and unwelcome noise intrusions. For additional information on aviation issues, or to subscribe to the Aviation Watch newsletter, visit www.oregonaviationwatch.org.

Public Comment Sought on Draft Washington County Natural Hazard Mitigation PlanCommunity members in Hillsboro, Tigard, and unincorporated Washington County are invited to provide input on the 2016 Washington County Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan is open for a public comment period which runs until September 14. Washington County residents are vulnerable to earthquakes, floods and other natural hazards. To address those threats, Washington County, Hillsboro and Tigard teamed up to develop the mitigation plan together. These three jurisdictions each had previous mitigation plans that needed to be updated. The plan assesses hazards and outlines strategies and actions that can be taken to reduce the impacts of natural disasters. Strategies and actions may involve improving development practices, seismic retrofits, property buy-outs in flood-prone areas, public education programs and other approaches that can make our community safer. The draft plan is available on the Washington County Emergency Management website at www.co.washington.or.us/EmergencyManagement. Community members may provide comments to Chris Walsh, Washington County Emergency Management Coordinator at Christopher_Walsh@co.washington.or.us.

Celebrating 40 Years of Connecting People, Books & Resources
In 1976, Washington County asked voters to approve the first countywide funding measure to support public library access for all residents. At that time, over half the population of Washington County did not have free, public library access. The first countywide levy provided funding to allow the six cities (Beaverton, Cornelius, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Sherwood and Tigard) with public libraries to freely open their doors to any county resident. Eva Calcagno, Director of the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) remarked, “it was fitting that in our nation’s Bicentennial year, Washington County residents agreed to establish a free public library system, a cornerstone of our democracy, to guarantee that all residents would have open access to library resources for education, civic engagement and entertainment.”
Explore with your Passport for great prizes!September 10 – December 16 To celebrate 40 years of public access to the libraries, WCCLS invites residents to pick-up a commemorative Passport at their local library and collect a stamp at each library location they visit. The Passport Prize Drawing will be held on December 20. Prizes include: Apple iPad Air 2, Classic Film Series (4 tickets) at Sherwood Center for the Arts, Family Matinee Series (4 tickets) Sherwood Center for the Arts, THPRD – Conestoga kids party for 10, Cultural Experience: Admission Passes for two to Pittock Mansion, Wine Tasting Experience for two to Blooming Hill Vineyard, and WCCLS Book Bag including a water bottle and commemorative 40th WCCLS Anniversary T-shirt. More information, including WCCLS member library locations and hours, is available in the WCCLS Passport or at wccls.org/wccls40.
Washington County Launches Wood Stove Exchange ProgramLast October, the Washington County Board of Commissioners approved new rules to protect the public’s health by reducing wood smoke. The ordinance was designed to raise awareness of wood smoke as a health issue and prevent unnecessary burning when the air quality is particularly poor.
As a continuation of this air quality improvement work, Washington County’s Office of Community Development, in partnership with Washington County Department of Health and Human Services, has launched a Wood Stove Exchange Program. Qualifying residents can receive a rebate of $1,500-$3,500 when they replace their old or uncertified wood stove with a cleaner heating device. Some households may qualify for a full-cost (free) replacement, depending on their income! “The benefits of this exchange program can’t be overstated,” says Board Chair Andy Duyck. “Not only will our air quality improve, but families who get new heating devices will have a much more efficient heat source to keep them warm.” Program participants can replace their old wood stove with an electric ductless heat pump, a natural gas stove, a pellet stove or a gas furnace. Those who qualify for a free replacement may also opt for a new EPA-certified wood stove, in addition to the other choices. Visit www.WoodStoveExchange.com for the application, eligibility guidelines, details on replacement device options and a comprehensive Q&A on the program. Or call 503-846-4425 for more information.

Safety tips to start the 2016-17 school year off rightTualatin Valley Fire & Rescue is asking community members to be vigilant as school gets back in session, and to pay extra attention to posted speed limits in school zones, stopping when school buses’ red lights are flashing, and yielding to students in crosswalks! Roads will soon become even busier as school buses roll out on weekdays, parents drive their children to and from school, and students walk or bike to school. Here are some helpful safety tips to ensure Cedar Mill students start the school year off right: Motorists:Allow extra time to reach your destination and watch for cars, pedestrians, bicyclists, skateboarders, crossing guards, and school buses. Put the brakes on distracted driving. Don’t text, talk on the phone, eat, groom, reach for things, or do anything else that distracts you from driving. Bus Riders:Have a safe place to wait for your bus, away from traffic and off the street. Stay away from the bus until the driver gives a signal that it’s OK to approach. Students on Bikes:Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride. Oregon law requires that a helmet be worn by anyone 16 years of age or younger. Ride on the right (or on a sidewalk), in the same direction as traffic. Wear bright-colored clothing to increase visibility as days get shorter. Always walk your bike through intersections. Students Walking:Never cross the street against a light, even if you don’t see any traffic coming. Walk with a parent or buddy whenever possible. Wear reflective material, as it makes you more visible to motorists. For additional information and safety tips, visit www.tvfr.com.

Most older adults want to remain on their own for as long as possible. Unfortunately, most of us wait too long to learn how to maintain and improve physical function and protect that precious independence. According to the Centers for Disease Control, falls are one of the major causes of injury and decreased autonomy for seniors. Clearly, falls prevention should be #1 in our plan for staying independent. In this 2-hour interactive session, senior fitness expert, Jacqueline Sinke, will provide basic information on why it is important to take steps to stay fit and injury-free. Participants will learn how to engage in simple efforts to build and maintain everyday fitness and how to exercise in ways that avoid injury. They will also have the opportunity to test their levels of fitness, including balance, in a safe, supportive environment. For more information about each event visit vivavillage.org.
