that grind whittled the original project team down to just eight who saw the project through to its finish and whose names will appear on the bus. They are Leilani Bautista, Vianey Bautista, Jasleen Kaur Bhullar, Elaysia Gates, Eleanor Karrick, Angelica Maldonado, Maximillian McGuire and Mason Wright.

“There were heated discussions about what it could be or should be. The group worked on countless drawings, concept drawings, critiques,” said Shotola-Hardt. “SMART was really drawn to four ideas they’d like to see slammed together. I told them this was typical for a graphic designer, to present several directions and have the client choose.”

The final design incorporated iconic Wilsonville locations — including the Graham Oaks tree, McMenamins Old Church, the Clock Tower at SMART Central — painted in water color by Bhullar, using gradients of SMART green.

Wilsonville’s Art Students Deliver SMART A Dazzling Design For Two New Buses

L

ast winter, youthful energy was on display at a City Council work session, as six high school art students presented the results of a year-long collaboration with SMART. Commissioned by the transit agency to design artistic wraps to dress two new electric buses, the students walked through their artistic process during a 10-minute presentation and revealed the stunning result of their efforts.

“They just knocked it out of the park,” said Elli Work, Grants and Programs Manager for SMART. “I keep hearing how astounding the presentation was.

One colleague told me she was fighting back tears.”

The presentation elicited a “Wow!” from Mayor Tim Knapp, and more kudos from each of the councilors present.

“I’m really happy (that SMART commissioned you to do this) instead of paying a consultant or artist from outside the city,” said Councilor Scott Starr.

“I don’t know that we would have gotten much better artwork if we had.”

Wilsonville High School art teacher Christopher Shotola-Hardt and Arts & Technology High School art teacher Philip Glass mentored the students who participated in the project, a collaboration among the two schools and SMART. Working with the City provided a great opportunity for students to get a unique glimpse into real-world problem solving.

“It was an eye-opener for them,” said Shotola-Hardt. “With a fine art project, they are in control of their own work. There comes a point where they can say ‘I’m finished.’ When we’re working with a client, it goes through reviews and revisions. There’s a grind to it.”

The students met weekly over course of the project. Through the duration, 6 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE - SEPTEMBER 2019

to City leadership, and the talent to have their design supported unanimously by Council sparks confidence that can inspire students long after the school-year ends.

“It’s palpable,” Shotola-Hardt said. “The kids were just beaming, floating on air, after the presentation. When they came back to school the next day, several said they watched the presentation twice before they went to bed.

They’re proud.”

The buses are now fully complete and you may have already seen them around town.

“When people see the buses driving around, it says a lot about what we value in Wilsonville,” Shotola-Hardt said. “We value families, education, our young people and their voices.”

Previously, the City commissioned student artists to develop painted tiles for “Beauty and the Bridge.” Shotola-Hardt said that, years later, students recognize the benefits that a collaboration of this nature provides.

“To have them come back, after graduating from college, and remind me ‘Hey, remember when you pushed me to finish that? I’m so glad you did.

Every time I go by, I look at that and I’m really proud that I was a part of that’,” Shotola-Hardt said.

He believes these projects serve as an important reminder of the value of art education.

“Art education is vital, and when it’s out in the public eye people can see the depth of the work and now important it is,” he said. “This is a huge piece of advocacy that will be driving on our roads. People will know it was done by students in our community. Those kids are our future, and look at the quality of the work they can do.”

If you aren’t in the mood for ribs, you can also enjoy the mouthwatering tender beef brisket served with BBQ sauce on the side, or hand breaded Southern-Style fried chicken. While you are enjoying the flavors of Southern Style BBQ as it melts in your mouth, your feet will be tapping to the beat while listening to live contemporary acoustic guitar music.

It doesn’t end there! Friday night is Prime Rib Night at Langdon’s Grill.

Enjoy a juicy 10 oz. cut of prime rib, seasoned to perfection and served

with house-made soup or salad, baked potato, fresh vegetables, and a warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

A spectacular full breakfast menu is offered on the weekends, featuring classics like omelets, benedicts, and scrambles, or heartier fare like biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, and even chicken and waffles! Of course your standard pancakes and french toast are sure to be found, but the more adventurous may want to try the chorizo breakfast burrito, which can also be taken on the go if you’re eager to get out to the course!

When you’re looking for a restaurant with a wide variety of options and a beautiful setting, Langdon’s Grill is the place to eat! They are open 7 days a week from 7am – 9pm.

Things You Must Do To Get Back To A School Routine Written By Courtney Smith

1.

A solid bedtime routine - During Summer it is very easy to get out of all of our routines, but one of the best routines for getting things back on track is our bedtime and staying consistent.

2.

Family meals at the dinner table - Having a couple family meals together each week will allow that settle down time to become part of your routine. Meals together allows everyone to unwind.

3.

Clean out clothes and toys - One of the best ways to start a new year is to get everything in order and clean up or clean out. Donate old clothes, toys, and items. Decluttering can save time when looking for stuff and give you clarity and peace of mind.

4.

Family meeting and goal discussion - As back to school time begins, set goals for the year, talk about your summer and discuss goals for the kids for the upcoming school year. This will help you focus on what you all want to accomplish, and get your mind geared towards things to look forward to.

5.

Get involved with your kids’ school - There is never too much involvement when it comes to being a part of your child’s school.

6.

Celebrate - Celebrate the beginning of another school year and the fact that your kids are a year older and a grade higher. It’s an exciting time that can be fun and energizing if you make it that way.

“My family and I hav e k i c k e d o f f the season at Fro g P o n d Fa r m f o r years and can’t wa i t t o c o m e b a c k ” Frog Pond Farm is a family owned and operated business that was established in 1985. The family’s motto is “Creating memorable family traditions for everyone!” The farm started out raising llamas and the name was chosen based on their location in the Frog Pond area. Frog Pond Farm is run with love as the third generation grows up following in the traditions of their parents’ and grandparents’ love for animals and the outdoors.

The farm offers a destination for all family members young and old, where everyone gets to experience farm life and seasonal festivities.

The farm’s festivities are meant for everyone including your furry children – leashed dogs are welcome!

Pumpkin season will bring fun, engaging activities to all ages this year! Kids will get to experience interactive activities and adults

will have just as much fun! Activities include: climbing the hay tower, getting lost in the hay maze, taking a train or hay ride, watching animal races (including

a duck race), walking through a one of a kind animal exhibit, mining for gems, crawling through tunnels, playing yard

animals, many of which are rescues that now get to experience lots of love and open spaces to roam on!

games, driving tractors to dig up corn, playing with sling shots, and much more!

There are a variety of animals that you will get to interact with, including llamas, alpacas, miniature woolly donkeys, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, rabbits, emus, guinea pigs, cows, and even a camel!

Frog Pond Farm is a haven for their

In addition to providing safety and shelter for our furry and feathered friends, giving back to the human community is a very important thing to those at Frog Pond Farm, and they don’t just pay it forward in the Wilsonville area. The family has a strong connection with donating to charities throughout the greater Portland area with an emphasis on cancer, animal, and youth-related organizations.

No fall season is complete without getting outdoors into a sea of orange — whether it’s the changing leaves or the thrill of wandering through a pumpkin patch, orange is the official color of the season. So grab your family and friends and head over to your local pumpkin patch and family farm for a great time!

WILLAMETTE VALLEY WINE TIME

Thinking Outside The Barrel

U n i q u e Tr a d i t i o n s I n W i n e M a k i n g

written by Courtney Smith

nspired by their love of wine and vineyards around the world, the passion of Carole and Karl Dinger created Terra Vina Vineyards, a small family-owned winery located on Parrett Mountain in the Chehalem Mountains. This winery doesn’t produce the average wine that can be bought in stores; each bottle is made with love and has a story tied to it. Terra Vina wines only makes 1200 – 1800 cases a year when bottled.

The story began in 1985 when, after a tragic head on collision accident, the couple decided to quit their jobs and live life to the fullest. Carole and Karl booked their tickets to Italy, and happened to visit a trade show with home wine-making equipment. There they

Each year after that, the Dinger’s traveled all over Oregon to ‘you pick’ locations ranging from Sherwood, Eugene, Roseburg, and anywhere else they could find grapes for sale to make wines of different varieties. Their passion led them to create a wide variety of wines and then enter them into contests at the state fair. One year there was too much wine, so the family invited friends over for a party. At this time homemade wine had a bad reputation so the expectations were low, but much to everyone’s surprise it was thoroughly enjoyable and a tradition had begun.

The following year, Karl and Carole were given the opportunity to do a custom crush which allowed them to produce their first commercial wine with a 2004 Vintage.

Terra Vina Vineyards has a very unique harvest season. Most vineyards are known for harvesting earlier because it makes their product have higher acidity levels which ages longer. Terra Vina lets their grapes hang longer than most, and are one of the last vineyards to bring their grapes in. While most people start harvesting their vineyards in mid-September to the middle of October, Terra Vina grapes may be harvested as late as October 31st – only the rains would make them harvest early.

“We don’t believe in aging wine; we believe in drinking wine” says Carole. They love fully mature fruit, with the flavor strong enough to come through. Terra Vina wines have a higher sugar content which translates into higher alcohol levels, but because of the care of their grapes, the fruit flavor is most prominent.

realized that whatever Italians grow, they produce, and as Italians they should be able to do it too! Both of their grandparents made wine, and they could too! It all started as a hobby to make their own wine, and from that became passion beyond what they could imagine.

The first wine that Karl made was blackberry wine, knowing that the grapes they planted wouldn’t be ready until the following spring. The Dinger’s started to dabble with their neighbor’s left over grapes, creating a Dolcetto which is a dark fruity wine with low acidity. The neighbor was unable crush the grapes for them, so they had to go to plan B – having their young daughter Roxanne stomp the grapes in a new food grade trashcan. Now, several years later, Roxanne is helping her parents carry on the unique traditions of Terra Vina.

Karl, a completely self-taught winemaker, loves and concentrates on the big reds; the Dinger’s first four wines were a Bordeaux blend, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a Cabernet Franc.

18 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE - SEPTEMBER 2019

Terra Vina Vineyard holds events throughout the year, including monthly dinners in their field (prepared by Roxanne’s husband, chef Drew), special tasting events at the vineyard on the second Saturday of every month from June thru November, and the grounds are available to be rented too. This vineyard is known for welcoming everyone in with a family feel, and is open for every holiday except for the 4th of July. There are 2 tasting room locations: one at the vineyard about 10 minutes West of Wilsonville, and a formal tasting room in downtown McMinnville, which offers tastings, wine by the glass and small plates. The vineyard offers an amazing wine club package as well, and you can find more information on their website: terravinawines.com.

If you’re new to drinking wine, there is no reason to be intimidated.

According to Carole, “There are two types of wine, ones you like and ones you don’t like. I would suggest not judging it on the first taste, let your taste buds adjust and take in the flavors.” Inspired by the world, and created with love, Terra Vina is a winery that you won’t want to miss out on.

Help us help our Wilsonville Community via “OUR COMMUNITY RAFFLE” There are many excellent nonprofit organizations in Wilsonville who do very good work. It is also true that these organizations are always in need of fundraising. So last year the Wilsonville Chamber created a very easy way for our Community to support their favorite nonprofits – it’s called “Our Community Raffle” When you purchase a Raffle Ticket ($25 each or 5 for $100) you get two great benefits. First is a good chance to win over $5000 in prizes (including ONE $2500 Cash Prize and many High Value individual gift cards from great local area businesses).

Secondly, your raffle ticket purchase goes directly to support local area non-profits.

Here’s how you can help: 1) Buy a raffle ticket. Call the Wilsonville Chamber or visit the website: www.OurCommunityRaffle.org for information and locations to buy tickets.

2) Become a Champion and “Adopt a Nonprofit” by selling raffle tickets on behalf of your favorite local area nonprofit. You, by yourself or with a group of friends or maybe your business, wants to band together to support one/two nonprofits? You designate a Captain as the point person and the Wilsonville Chamber supplies all materials (raffle tickets, posters, etc..) You sell raffle tickets and then the designated nonprofit that you adopted will receive a support/ donation check on your behalf, from the Wilsonville Chamber.

For example, let’s say you are the parents of the Wilsonville Robotics team and you need to raise funds for this fantastic nonprofit.

(Actual true story) You have your parents and local area businesses that want to support the Robotics Team agree to sell Our Community Raffle tickets. The Robotics nonprofit then receives a support/donation check (40%) from the Wilsonville Chamber for all of your ticket sales.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS NEWS Your Wilsonville Chamber is proud to have members throughout our South Metro area who have locations outside the City of Wilsonville but do business within Wilsonville. This month we enjoyed a Business After Hours in downtown Hubbard Oregon, at what was quickly deemed as the Willamette Valley’s Best Kept Secret… Garden Gallery Ironworks. Operated is by a brother and sister, Don and Carol Sprague. Don is the master of the Ironworks, with many different ideas and designs from Iron Gates to the amazing hanging flower baskets we all enjoy seeing at the Woodburn Outlet Mall, City of Lake Oswego and the recent Street of Dreams. Carol is the design genius who places all the orders for the store. She works with local artists to stock the store with hundreds of home décor products. She and her terrific team make the store feel like you just stepped into a garden art magazine. Visit them on Facebook at “Garden Gallery Ironworks”, shop their online store www.gardengalleryironworks.net , or visit them in Hubbard Oregon.

Washington Federal Bank was host to a Wilsonville Area Chamber of Commerce Morning Spark. Reggie Gaines, VP Relationship Manager and Jeanine O’Conner, Branch Manager, welcomed Chamber members and guests for fresh brewed coffee, sweet treats and some pretty fascinating facts about the bank. Washington Federal is 102 years old. The have over 230 locations with $16 Billion in assets. They do not sell off their loans and amongst the 100 largest publicly traded banks in the US, in tier 1 common capital, Washington Federal was ranked number 9.

Most impressively, Washington Federal Bank was recently named the number 1 bank in Oregon by Forbes Magazine based on customer service, accessibility and financial advice. Visit them at www.Washingtonfederal.com or at our very own local Wilsonville branch location.

DO YOU NEED TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A NON-PROFIT, SPORTS TEAM, SCHOOL OR OTHER CHARITABLE CAUSE? The Chamber is accepting strategic partner applications for the 2019 Our Community Raffle. We plan to donate $5000 to local not for profit causes.

5 Things Small Businesses Should Know When Selling Online

Sales tips to protect your small business’s reputation.

W

hile the Internet gives small business owners access to a global customer base, the convenience of selling online comes with its share of risks. Whether your greatest concern deals with data breaches or negative online reviews, protecting your online sales environment is crucial.

Melinda F. Emerson (also known as the SmallBizLady) is the founder and president of the Quintessence Group, a Philadelphia-based marketing consulting firm with some big name clients, including American Express, Facebook, Staples and IKEA, among others.

When it comes to setting up your online marketplace, she has some great advice.

“You do not want to aggravate paying customers,” says Emerson. “This means creating a sales environment that protects the customer, as well as your business’s reputation.”

To break down her expertise, here are five online sales tips that will create a better experience for both you and your customers: Meticulously manage your merchant account. Data protection is critical in conducting online business, so Emerson recommends making use of security measures built into payment systems such

as PayPal, and also matching your URLs. “Every website address change requires a new merchant account application. You cannot just switch it from one website to the next, because that will enable the credit card processor to hold your funds,” she adds.

Clearly define customer service policies. Make sure payment terms and refund and credit policies are prominently displayed on your website. Also ensure that employees know to put the customer first. “I like to empower people to fix things up to $100,” explains Emerson. “If somebody calls and says they never got a book from us, or they never got a package that they ordered, I don’t really dispute it with them — we just send it to them,” she adds. “It is not worth it for me, or really any small business owner, to have a customer out there saying, ‘We paid you money and we didn’t get our stuff.’”

Take steps to close the deal. If you’re getting plenty of Web traffic but few sales, use cookies to track visitors’ browsing habits and find clues as to why they’re abandoning your site’s shopping cart. “You want to be looking at your analytics to make sure you understand why people are buying, how people are buying, and what might be deterring them,” says Emerson.

Keep brand promises. Emerson emphasizes the importance of keeping customers happy by doing exactly what you say you’re going to do, and delivering products within the timeframe promised on your website. “This solid business principle minimizes the risk of a negative online review, which could potentially lead to a negative Better Business Bureau report,” she explains.

Hail the ‘help mantra’. Avoid being seen as a self-serving online business by adopting Emerson’s ‘help mantra.’ “[When using social media] everything you share should be helpful,” she says. “Share the content of others at a 4-to-1 ratio to your own. Be sweet and retweet’ other people’s stuff.”

Selling online is a great way to expand your customer base. By taking steps to protect your online sales environment, you’ll keep your customers coming back and your business flourishing.

INSURANCE

Why Do You Need Insurance?

W

hether it’s car, home, health or life, it’s probably safe to say that you have insurance in some shape or form. Maybe it was required, like when you bought your home or car. Or maybe you have insurance because it provides peace of mind, knowing you’re financially protected from the unexpected — or maybe both!

Resource: www.amfam.com/insurance/insurance-101

Whatever your reason, insurance is an important part of sound financial planning. And it’s a small price to pay for the protection you get.

Life Insurance

Why Is Insurance Required?

Insurance is a way of transferring risks. For example, if you make a big purchase, like a new car or home, and you take out a loan or mortgage, your lender wants to be sure that your vehicle or home is financially protected from potential damage. How do they make sure of this? They protect their investment by requiring you to purchase insurance. So you put the cost of a potential loss into the hands of an insurance company in exchange for your premium, and they’ll invest your funds and pay out if you file a claim — subject to the terms and conditions of your policy.

Let’s talk about car insurance for a minute. Almost every single state requires you to carry at least a minimum amount of liability insurance. Why? Well, with millions of vehicles out on the road, accidents are bound to happen. And the truth is a lot of people aren’t able to pay for the expensive damages.

States started mandating liability car insurance, which is what helps pay for damages caused by a driver to other people or property. This is so those affected won’t suffer financially as a result of an at-fault driver not being able to pay them for the losses that occurred. And, to make sure you’re properly protected from the unexpected, you might even want to consider uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, considering many drivers meet the bare minimum liability requirements in their state (or maybe don’t have insurance at all) and therefore might not be able to pay you if the damages incurred exceed their limits.

Insurance is a way to help not only you but those around you. Sure, you pay a fee to your insurance company and may never have to file a claim, but if the unexpected does occur, you’ll be glad you don’t have to pay entirely out of pocket.

What Can Insurance Protect You From?

Insurance is designed to financially protect you and provide you the comfort of knowing you have something to fall back on in case you face a loss. And while you may only buy insurance because you’re required to have it, insurance can be a necessity for other reasons, too.

Here are some scenarios: It’s not legally required, but if an income earner in your family passes away, life insurance can help maintain your current standard of living.

It could help pay for things like your mortgage, household bills, credit card bills, child care, college tuition and even final expenses, like funeral costs.

Car Insurance

Let’s say you get into a fender bender. While those don’t tend to be the most expensive car repairs, a couple hundred dollars could set back your savings. Thankfully you’re a smart proactive planner who knows the importance of having insurance, which can cover the cost of repairs and even set you up with a rental while your car is in the shop.

Home Insurance

A strong wind could knock a tree over onto your roof, causing shingle damage. Roof repair can be expensive, but having home insurance means you’re financially protected from the sudden expense.

When things like Mother Nature are out of your control, you’ll be glad you have insurance protecting you and your investments.

Get Help With Your Insurance Needs

We understand that insurance can be complicated, confusing and sometimes even frustrating. But knowing the importance of having it will hopefully give you some confidence and trust in your decision to purchase insurance.

We haven’t even mentioned protecting a business, farm or ranch, a boat, motorcycle or other assets. All of those things are important to insure, too. If you have more questions or if you’re interested in getting coverage, connect with Kyle and his team — they’re always ready to help explain your options to make sure you’re properly protected.
