Jaimy was very responsive from the very first phone call we made to him. He listed AND sold our house and found us a new one on the same weekend! His experience and insight were extremely helpful throughout the process. Jesse was amazing as well with follow up and creating a seamless transaction from start to finish. Can't ask for a better all around team!!!

BEAUTY TIPS

DIVINE COMPLEXIONS

The HydraFacial Treatment

By Beauty Expert Christine Lewy

H

Christine Lewy

Licensed Esthetician, Owner of Divine Complexions Spa, and West Coast Regional GloSkinBeauty Makeup Artist.

How often should you get a HydraFacial? If you want the most benefit and your best skin, then stick to a regimen of once a month.

ave you heard of the HydraFacial treatment before?

Well let me fill you in on why this may be your next obsession for your skin! The HydraFacial is the name for the trademarked customizable facial treatment that has been made famous for being able to show you everything that came out of your skin in the “gunk container” and leaves your skin with an unforgettable glow. Celebrities are on IG flaunting their glowing skin after this treatment. Let’s dive deeper into why it’s so good:

Who can get a HydraFacial?

This treatment is for nearly BEFORE AFTER everyone: teens, men, and women, but not during pregnancy. Have active acne? Then you’ll want to skip this until your skin doesn’t show any active pustules.

How is HydraFacial different from a traditional facial?

Traditional facials are relaxing, exfoliating, and targeted to your skin goals but are typically very superficial. The HydraFacial is a no fluff, to the point, results-oriented facial that lasts about 30 minutes compared to a 60 minute traditional facial. The HydraFacial treatment can penetrate deeper into the skin by using the patented vortex technology along with medical grade super serums.

The vortex technology of the machine used in this treatment infuses and sucks out at the same time, hence being able to deeply clean pores without the pain associated with manual extractions. Afterward, you’ll have the signature HydraFacial glow and be feeling ready for anything! Have a special event coming up? Then this treatment is for you!

Whether you want to calm, smooth & refine, restore & firm, hydrate, or brighten there’s a way to level up your HydraFacial results. There are options to customize your treatment with boosters, LED light therapy, and detoxification with lymphatic drainage. I apparently retain a lot in my face.

The first time I got the lymphatic drainage on my face, I swear it looked like I lost 10 pounds! I was totally hooked! There are also further options that can be offered around the lip and eye area, as well as the body.

If you’re wanting smooth glowing radiant skin, then I suggest you jump on the bandwagon and try a HydraFacial.

IN GOOD TASTE

Parkway Grille at Hilton Garden Inn

By Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer Photos Supplied By Parkway Grille & Hilton Garden Inn

t’s always exciting discovering new restaurants, isn’t it?

Once you’ve decided to try a place you’ve never been to before, regardless of whether it ends up being a positive or a negative experience, it’s always one of those small kinds of adventures that keeps life interesting. Of course, it is that much better when the new place is fantastic - replete with great atmosphere, friendly servers, and delectable northwest inspired dishes. These are the kinds of places that do become new favorites. That new place you’re going to want to try very soon is the Parkway Grille inside the Wilsonville Hilton Garden Inn Hotel!

Parkway Grille opened less than a year ago, right in the thick of the pandemic. It was a tough time for 8 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • JULY 2021

restaurants to survive, let alone open to the public for the first time, but Parkway Grille made it through due to the fact that it is a truly exceptional restaurant and bar. It’s the perfect balance of fine and casual dining, so you can enjoy a chance to get all dressed up and go out for a special occasion (they even have a banquet room that is perfect for weddings, family reunions, business meetings, etc.), or dress casually and enjoy a fantastic meal in a relaxed atmosphere with friends or family. Whatever the occasion, Parkway Grille is aesthetically designed to accommodate a wide range of events.

Of course, when it comes to a new restaurant, the main question is always “what about the food?” This is perhaps the most exciting aspect of the experience at Parkway Grille, as they are immensely proud to introduce Executive Chef Dolan Lane. He is a chef of renowned excellence, having spent the last 20+ years honing his craft, and working his way up in the industry.

Dolan grew up in Seattle and at the age of 17 began one of his first jobs working at a mom-and-pop Italian joint. At the time he didn’t intend to make a career in a restaurant, but he enjoyed the energetic, fast-paced nature of the business, as well as the specific sort of employee-customer interactions you only get in this kind of setting. He actually went to college to study photography, but kept working in the food industry on the side and eventually realized that was where his passion really lay.

Leaving photography behind, he moved to San Francisco to attend one of the most respected culinary schools in the country.

Upon graduation, he moved back to Seattle, began his career as a chef, and it’s been a steady climb ever since!

In 2000 he and his Portland-native wife moved to the area, and the timing was fortunate enough to catch the “great food movement” that was taking place here while it was still in its initial phase.

Portland is an exciting place for chefs, with restaurants serving cuisine which spans the entire gamut. He started as a Sous-chef at Blue Hour, working with well known restaurateur, Bruce Carey. From there, he moved up to Executive Chef at Clarklewis in 2008 (another restaurant owned by Carey), where he really got his feet wet in the whole farm-to-table experience.

He spent some time at other restaurants here and there, but his next biggest stint

was with the very popular Meriwether’s, another big farm-to-table enterprise.

Then, fortunately for us, in October of 2020 he became Executive Chef of the brand new Parkway Grille in Wilsonville. His background in Italian, Mediterranean, and French cuisine provides flavor profiles unlike anything

you’ve ever eaten before, and Dolan is dedicated to providing the best dining experience in the area for both guests of the hotel and local residents alike.

Due to restrictions during the first year of business, they had to focus primarily on take-out and easily-transportable items; burgers and fish and chips have been popular in that regard. However, Dolan is very excited about the next few months, with restrictions easing and inhouse dining opening back up. He can’t wait to get back to cooking fun, seasonal, and fresh dishes that are best served in person, and he’s sure they’ll bring smiles to every face.

Parkway Grille offers wonderful options for any meal of the day.

Their breakfast menu includes hearty choices like Steak & Eggs, Buttermilk Pancakes, a variety of Omelets and Benedicts, and more. The lunch and dinner menu is replete with mouthwatering delights such as Seared Sea Scallops with Wild Boar Risotto, Grilled New York Steak, and what they call “Roasted Airline Chicken Breast,” which comes with seasonal vegetables, creamy polenta, and a flavorful mushroom & sherry sauce. If you still have room for dessert, be sure to finish off with their delectable Apple Strudel, Butterscotch Budino, or Wild Berry Sorbet!

Their biggest challenge right now is with staffing, so when you go in please be aware and pack your patience while they work through it (as all restaurants are having to do right now). Make Parkway Grille the place for your next dinner out and it will become a new favorite! There’s even exciting news to share: in July they will be reinstating Happy Hour and extending their dinner hours! Don’t wait until it gets too busy, though. Come in now and enjoy a first-class meal! Bon appetit!

Parkway Grille is located inside the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel at 30800 SW Parkway Avenue in South Wilsonville, near Wilsonville Honda. Visit parkwaygrille.com or call 503-855-0996 for more information or to make a reservation.

PAINTING PERFECTION, ONE HOME AT A TIME! JACKSON PAINTING & REMODEL

By Dennis McNabb, Actuve Media Contributing Writer

L

et’s face it Oregonians, the local weather is not kind to our houses.

Constant moisture and cold temperatures during the winter months juxtaposed against hot, arid, sometimes drought-like conditions in the summer months leads to expansion and contraction of materials, compromised joints and seals, moss invasion, mold, cracked and dulled paint, and more.

It’s a continuous battle for most of us to stay on top of it, and it’s too much to handle ourselves. Fortunately, we have experts who are adept at not only recognizing the root causes, but also at fixing those problems in the most efficient and cost effective ways.

Among those experts, there is no one better than Jackson Painting!

Owner and operator Chad Jackson has been painting houses since 1990. Still a kid living at home at that time, he got started when his parents decided to have their home painted. Chad got to talking with the gentleman who came to do the job, and was subsequently invited to team up with him for a summer job. He returned the following year, but Chad’s entrepreneurial spirit begged for more. He’d always wanted to own his own business. So, in 1992, while still in high school, he very bravely stepped out on his own, and Jackson Painting was founded.

14 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • JULY 2021

Although initially, he wasn’t certain it would be his life-long career, he discovered soon enough how much he appreciated working outdoors.

He was already adept at the labor end of the equation; enamored with the instant gratification he received from a job well done, but he was also discovering how much he enjoyed working with people—his team and his clients—to help them beautify their homes. So, in 1996, the decision was made. He began hiring a crew, many who remain to this day, and he’s never looked back!

So why choose Chad and his team for your job? Quite simply, they are 100% dedicated to doing the best job possible, using the highest quality materials (only Sherwin Williams paint is good enough for this crew) and providing the best service around, every time! Again, most of the crew has been with him over 20 years, which is almost unheard of in this industry. Chad simply does things the right way though, so his guys have no reason to leave. All combined, they have over 350 years of experience.

And they don’t subcontract! When you hire Jackson Painting, you get Chad Jackson and his crew on the job, not some stranger, meaning quality control is never an issue.

They provide local residents with exceptional interior and exterior painting services, but additionally they are a one-stop shop for your home interior and/or exterior beautification project. Meaning that if during the course of performing their free estimate for your project they find dry rot, sections of siding that need repairs, or other issues that could negatively affect the job they’re doing for you, they also have the ability to do those repairs so you don’t have to shop around for other contractors. Residential home remodeling projects, small to mid-size commercial projects, and other services including power-washing - they do it all! Chad and his team work tirelessly to ensure that the whole process is as comprehensive and convenient as possible.

The most important thing of course, especially in dealing with contractors, is integrity. We’ve all been burned at one time or another by a flaky contractor. Rest assured though, that Chad is the real deal; the type of guy you’d want to live next door to, and he’s exactly the kind of guy you want working for you. He treats every client as if they were family, and every house he works on as if it was his own. His track record speaks for itself, having built the entire business on nothing but referrals and word-of-mouth advertising. Because he and his crew do such a superior job, you won’t need to call them again for many years, but his ever-growing base of regular clients attest to his stellar reputation. He is reliable, honest, and amazing at what he does!

consistent commitment to excellence. Together, they have grown from humble beginnings averaging just 20 jobs a year, to increasing that tenfold!

But it’s not all about Chad.

Another reason for his success is that he sincerely recognizes the importance of his team. His managing partner Andrea and wife Reachael both work extremely hard behind the scenes doing what Chad refers to as the “really hard stuff ”; books, scheduling, payroll, etc. They keep things running smoothly.

David is their terrific salesperson who has been getting out every day to talk to people, expand the business and keep the crew busy. Last but not least, of course, are the guys on the crew themselves. Chad says he literally couldn’t do any of this without them. They are only where they are today because of the entire crew; their skill level, their loyalty, and their

They are, of course, licensed, bonded, and insured so you can rest easy trusting them with the job. If you are the kind of person who wants a change but has trouble deciding on things like color combinations, they even have a professional full-time designer who does color and material consultations to help guide you through those overwhelming decisions. If you want your house done right, call Jackson Painting now for a free estimate, or check out their website for more information including testimonials from happy homeowners.

This is a locally owned and operated business, and guys like Chad are the backbone of our local economies. We need to support them, and it’s a win-win situation! They do superior work for us, we support them with our business, they put the money they earn back into the local economy and that comes back full circle in numerous ways. Not to mention that Chad is a heck of a nice guy and you’ll feel great once he’s done making your house look better than it’s looked since it was built!

We're celebrating a poem style created

by Edmund Clerihew Bentley, the English novelist and humorist born on July 10, 1875. He created the first-ever Clerihew at the age of 16.

"Sir Humphry Davy Abominated gravy.

He lived in the odium Of having discovered sodium."

As with most poetry, the Clerihew is defined by a set of rules. It must: • Include four lines.

• Contain rhyming couplets of AA/BB. • Include a person’s name in the first line.

• Say something about that person.

• Be humorous. It is meant to be a funny poem, of course.

Like limericks, poets poke fun at people real and imagined. As with any humor, the Clerihew draws a chuckle from the reader as well as the subject of the poem.

If you can’t laugh at yourself and you’re the subject of a Clerihew, it’s probably better not to read it. If you’re writing a Clerihew about someone who can’t take a joke, maybe don’t write the Clerihew. Or, write it about not being able to take a joke.

Celebrating July 4th In Wilsonville!

Dear Wilsonville Community: As we continue to move into more relaxed COVID restrictions, we hope that you have an opportunity to gather safely with family and friends and enjoy this 4th of July.

HERE ARE A COUPLE FAVORITE 4TH OF JULY QUOTES: "It will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other."

- John Adams

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

- Nelson Mandela

HERE BELOW ARE A FEW INTERESTING 4TH OF JULY FACTS: Four U.S. Presidents have a major connection to July 4th. President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4th 1872. Three U.S. Presidents died on July 4th. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died just hours apart on 7/4/1826 and James Monroe died 7/4/1831.

Did you know that One World Trade Center in New York City was designed to pay tribute to American Independence? The tower is exactly 1,776 feet tall to represent the year 1776.

In Philadelphia at the 1st anniversary celebration on July 4th 1777 was the first recorded celebration with a grand exhibition of fireworks

Apollo Drain & Rooter — A Story of Family Story & Photos Provided By Apollo Drain & Rooter Service

W

ith nothing more than an old used van, a dream and a desire to do great work, a young and eager Scott Bird and his bride Jody, began a journey.

If someone were to ask Scott if he was raised on a farm, he could emphatically reply, “Yes!” He grew up in Mattawa, Washington where he worked with his dad, three brothers and three sisters.

When he was 21, he went to his cousin’s wedding reception. There, catching his eye from the reception line was his future wife, Jody. Their world grew closer since it was Jody’s sister marrying one of Scott’s cousins.

Scott attended Utah Technical College for two years and graduated with a degree in Heating & Air Conditioning. The trade which he would then work in back home in Mattawa. Being back home gave Scott the opportunity to reconnect with Jody and they married in June of 1983.

After about a year of working in the Heating and Air Industry, Scott and Jody decided to return to his family farm. Scott worked with his dad on the farm during the day and drove a semi-truck at

night hauling hay cubes to Seattle. Jody went to work for an insurance company in Othello, Washington.

Jody’s sister and a couple of Scott’s cousins had started a drain cleaning company in Tri-Cities, Spokane and Salem, Oregon. It was going so well that they talked Scott and Jody into leaving the farm and to start their own drain cleaning business in Portland, Oregon.

The Apollo journey: Scott was told by the bank that they didn’t think he was a “good investment.” They were so wrong.

After procuring a bank loan, they were able to start a business of their own. Apollo Drain & Rooter was on it’s way! Their tagline, “Big enough to do the job, but small enough to care” would carry them through many years of hard and difficult work. Using their own apartment as their headquarters and Jody navigating with the large and cumbersome Thomas Guide Map Book, they offered a flat rate of only $26.50, no matter how long it took or how challenging the job was.

Over the years of juggling work, marriage and parenthood the Birds eventually grew to become a family of 5 with 3 energetic boys! In 1985 Scott and Jody were blessed with their first baby boy, Brandon. Brandon was continuously by Jody’s side as she answered phones, scheduled jobs and handled the paperwork.

In 1988 he was followed by little brother Ryan, and in 1990 their son Derek completed their family and the nest was full.

With discipline, hard work and a good sense of humor, the young family survived many ups and downs. Tough economic times challenged their survival in the industry, but they kept going. No matter what challenges they faced, they did so with strength and integrity, always willing to help out their fellow members of the community.

22 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • JULY 2021

As the Bird boys grew into men, they fully immersed themselves into the family business, which has become one of the fastest growing, full-service plumbing companies in Oregon and Washington. The company of two people has grown to over 50 employees! In 2014 the family became the first in this area to invest in the latest technology of plumbing called Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP).

It is their dedication to a growing industry that instilled in them the desire to share this with an area where it is so desperately needed. CIPP, a trenchless lateral drain line repair, is the perfect answer to the root intrusion problem that is so prevalent in the Pacific Northwest. Old pipes are not getting any younger and degradation is a serious problem. Luckily, Apollo is a leader in the installation of LMK’s CIPP technology.

After 37 years of successful plumbing and drain business, the Bird family are proud to announce they have added Heating and Cooling Services. This is exciting news, and the company looks forward to working with the community to keep everyone warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

THEN NOW

The Bird’s high standards and love of the work are a testament to their trade. They have great appreciation for the community and their continued support because they would not be where they are today without them.

John’s Waterproofing

I

f you’re looking to maintain the structural integrity of your home, not to mention the purity of the air you and your family are breathing within its walls, look no further than John’s Waterproofing! They’ve been serving completely satisfied customers from Eugene to Vancouver for almost 50 years by providing basement waterproofing, crawl space repair, and foundation repair.

Using a unique waterproofing system design with patented and warrantied products, they guarantee top-of-the-line quality and performance so you can rest assured that your home is protected.

Founded in 1974 by John Lombardi, the company has risen to prominence due to its tireless commitment to superior customer service, treating every customer like family, and by setting the industry standard regarding the quality of their products and services provided.

Let’s face it, here in the Northwest, we have a lot of moisture. Whether it’s coming up from the ground due to elevated water tables or down through the foundation due to heavy rains, clogged gutters or improperly graded landscaping, it’s imperative for the health and longevity of our homes to make sure our basements and crawl spaces are sealed and waterproofed.

Regardless of the basement and/or crawl space issues you may be experiencing, John’s Waterproofing is the premier local contractor for providing the best long-term solutions available. Their systems are not merely a quick-fix.

They get to the root of the problem and offer intelligent, consummate, enduring solutions that are designed and built to last.

When it comes to this type of work, there is simply no one around who does it better! General Manager Robin Ekloff has been with the company for over 22 years and is the new owner as of 2019. He couldn’t be more proud of the team he works with, and the feeling is mutual. I had the pleasure of speaking with Director of Marketing Jessica Dingle, who says that Robin is one of those guys who cares more about his employees than he does himself. More than anything, he wants them to be happy and successful, and he views their success as his own.

The system Robin has set up, building upon an already solid foundation of good business practices, is producing amazing results. Something is clearly working right, since in 2020 John’s Waterproofing won two highly prestigious awards in the industry: The Best Contractor Award, and The Best of Porch Award. The latter is only given to the top 1% of professionals on Porch.com and it’s earned by maintaining outstanding community reviews, high response rates, and a track record of overall great, on-time service with no outstanding or unresolved complaints.

BELTRAN PROPERTIES GROUP

KNOWLEDGE & A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE

By Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer

W

ell, friends, as we’ve been reiterating for a little over a year now, the real estate market is still hot, hot, hot! In particular, for you sellers out there, the continued dearth of inventory in our area means houses are still selling much faster, and for top dollar.

Jaimy and Sherine Beltran, along with the entire team at Beltran Properties Group, have been by our side month after month, holding our hands and helping us to properly navigate these extraordinary circumstances with their intelligent, considerate, and expert advice.

There are no real estate agents in the area with more knowledge, more experience, or more connections (including contractors who can assist with home repairs, or with other agents throughout the state and country via their virtual brokerage) than our very own Beltran Team here in Wilsonville. Last month, we discussed their widening network, and how they are now able to assist not only with the sale of your home here locally, but also with the purchase of your next home, even if it’s 30 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • JULY 2021

in another state. This month, in order to highlight their unique and specific expertise in the field, not to mention the gratitude they have for their local community, we are bringing things back local and discussing the market right here in Wilsonville, as well as some exciting new possibilities.

You may be asking yourself, why are the Beltrans so much more qualified than other regional agents to assist in the process of buying and selling homes here in Wilsonville? There are many reasons, not the least of which is their tireless dedication to providing the most personal, sincere, and cutting-edge service available in the industry. Another significant reason is that they have lived in Wilsonville since 2006, so they know this area (and all the changes it has gone through in recent years) like the back of their hands. They moved into the Villebois neighborhood when it was in its infancy, during the first phase of construction, and they’ve been right there to witness as the remaining phases were completed and the neighborhood developed.

As anyone living in the area is aware, there were some significant obstacles to overcome due to the recession which hit in 2008. Not only did the development face problems, but the entire city of Wilsonville found themselves in trouble with one of the highest industrial vacancy rates (48%) in the region. Although initially slated for completion in 2010-2011, the Villebois project was delayed significantly, and there were concerns it may never be fully realized. Larger, national builders had to be brought in and plans had to be redesigned and reconfigured.

The good news is that everyone was able to come together, adjust accordingly, and make it work. The final phase of Villebois is nearing completion, and what a terrific community

it has become! Having lived in this development from the very beginning, the Beltrans have first-hand knowledge of the various floor plans and how the homes were constructed - Jaimy said he’s learned more about construction in the last 10 years than he ever thought possible without going into contracting himself. They also know the builders, and they are as familiar as you can be with the whole neighborhood. It’s practically their backyard!

Jaimy is also keen to bring awareness to a new development everyone is enthusiastic about at the nearby Frog Pond community.

As part of the Frog Pond Masterplan, this new neighborhood (which is still under construction) offers slightly more upscale luxury homes in the $500,000-1,000,000 range. The grand scheme for this area is to include extensive walkways, shared gardens, recreational facilities, parks, shops, restaurants,and more! It’s all designed to promote active lifestyles and connectivity within the surrounding communities. Once completed, it will be a beautiful, highlyregarded, and coveted neighborhood, adding even more diversity and interest to the landscape of Wilsonville.

Jaimy stated that one of the greatest advantages Wilsonville has to offer is its basic “livability”. As redundant as that may sound on the surface, it’s actually quite a profound statement. Wilsonville is a fantastic place to live, and for reasons that are not necessarily self-evident! First and foremost (and this is quite obvious) is location, location, location! Conveniently nestled off of I-5 between Portland and Salem, it’s a perfect midway point for professionals requiring easy access to one or both of our state’s largest urban areas.

Third, Wilsonville has an extremely healthy selection of employment opportunities. In fact, the city has more jobs available than residents living here! These are not just minimum wage retail jobs, either. Huge corporate hi-tech and engineering companies are now calling Wilsonville home, offering incredible job options for qualified professionals.

Fourth, the school system is considered to be one of the best in the state. For parents of young children, or those planning to have a family in the near future, this is a highly-respected district where you can be sure your kids are getting a superior education.

Fifth, the downtown area has a thriving retail sector, and an increasingly popular Farmer’s Market. There are numerous other reasons, of course, but these reasons are a huge part of what makes Wilsonville such an incredible place to live. Connectivity, diversity, and sustainability (efficiency of design and protection of natural resources in the area): these things are key to Wilsonville’s continued success and they are major points of consideration in their plans for expansion. Wilsonville ranks 3rd in the entire state of Oregon in fiveyear population growth and it’s no wonder why!

Secondly, and perhaps a little less obvious, is the fact that city planners have expertly infused diversity into each housing development’s landscape. There is an extensive array of housing styles and levels of affordability.

From smaller single-family starter homes, to larger multi-generational homes, to apartments and condos, to larger-acreage country homes, to retirement communities and assisted-living, there are virtually no needs which cannot be accommodated, and no Wilsonville is growing, it’s expanding, desires which can’t be met. and it’s one of the most exciting

cities to live in within the Portland Metropolitan area. As these new developments take shape and homes become available for sale, people will be clamoring to get in.

Don’t get caught unawares! The best people to help you navigate the process of making Wilsonville your home-sweet-home are Jaimy and Sherine Beltran of Beltran Properties Group. Call them today and let them prove to you why you’ll never need to speak to another real estate agent again!
