ELIJAH’S HEART HOUSE

Gratitude Galore

Auction event supports families in need

By Olive Gallagher, Contributing Writer Photos courtesy of Kimmee Auxier

On February 10, a bright winter day that turned into an unusually sunny Saturday afternoon, I turned right into a long allée just off Eilers Road and headed toward a barn complex bustling with activity. From the moment I arrived, I sensed I was in for a very special adventure.

This annual event is for Elijah’s Heart House, an organization created by Jeff and Kimmee Auxier to honor the life of their beloved youngest son, Elijah, who died on Sept. 3, 2017, at age 16, from restrictive cardiomyopathy. The event was off to a fantastic start with 442 tickets sold in advance and the expectation of more than 300 folks attending, including many families with children.

Entering a lovely patio area bedecked with bouquets of artfully arranged fresh flowers, heaters and comfortable seating, I entered the main barn area to find an astonishing array of auction items beautifully displayed on long tables. Along one side of the huge space, there were also tables offering artfully designed and executed Elijah’s Heart House items that would make great gifts for anyone on any occasion. The band was preparing to play for the arriving crowds and delicious aromas from the food trucks parked just south of the barn filled the air. It was evident the exciting afternoon was poised to become another memorable moment.

And it kicked off in fantastic fashion! Fueled by the amazing, almost bionic founder Kimmee Auxier, who seems to have the ability to be in more than one place at any given time, and her dedicated band of volunteers, the afternoon proved to offer something exciting and fun for everyone.

Following a ribbon-cutting for a new playground next to Elijah’s Heart House, guests wandered through the greenhouse and barn, and walked outside to the lake where there was a petting zoo. Darlin’ Donkeys wandered the premises

throughout the event and finally converged at the entry, meanwhile children planted seeds in the greenhouse. The live auction featured the professional talent of auctioneer Patrick Siver. Fantastic foods — included in the $25 ticket — were served. Only bar items from Archer Vineyard, Flyboy Brewery and Shaker & Salt cocktails required payment — and those three vendors generously donated 50% of their day’s earnings back to Elijah’s Heart House.

This year, instead of a silent auction, guests could bid on items, all of which were tastefully photographed and packaged by volunteer Becky Rodriguez, either in the online auction prior to the event or during the live auction that afternoon.

One special aspect of the day was the unique chance for parents to bring their children to a deeply personal event that allowed them to connect philanthropy and the loving act of giving back with a real boy who lived and was, once upon a time, just like them. And after meeting Kimmee, his mom, that connection became even more vibrant, as there’s no question that there’s a beating, loving heart behind every detail of the Elijah J. Auxier Foundation and the day.

That’s why there’s no riddle as to why this remarkable event continues to grow exponentially every year. The first year involved 100 people, mostly friends and family, who came to honor Elijah’s memory and the establishment of the house. That event brought in approximately $100,000. The second year, with more than 200 people attending, it brought in $125,000. This year, while the total is not yet set in stone, it’s projected that the event will bring in more than $150,000 with 442 tickets sold and more than 300 folks attending.

Keep your eyes on the website, www.elijahshearthouse.org, for updates on time and place for next year’s event. With each year’s continuing growth and success, there are bound to be even more exciting changes in 2025, and you and your family don’t want to miss out on all the exciting and heartwarming fun of this special day!

WOODBURN FIRE DISTRICT

Vehicle Fire Safety

U.S. FIRE ADMINSTRATION OFFERS LIFE-SAVING TIPS

It’s important to act quickly if a vehicle catches fire. Burning vehicles can quickly trap occupants. Mechanical and electrical issues, along with crashes, are common causes of vehicle fires.

If your vehicle catches fire

• Pull over as quickly as you can when it is safe.

• Once you have stopped, turn off the engine.

• Get everyone out of the vehicle. Never return to a burning vehicle. Do not fight the fire yourself.

• If you think there is a fire under the hood or trunk, do not open it. This could cause the fire to grow.

• Move everyone at least 100 feet from the burning vehicle and well away from traffic.

• Call 9-1-1 immediately.

Electric Vehicle Fire Safety

Many residents in your community have purchased or are thinking about buying an electric vehicle (EV) but may be unaware of the risk of fire or electric shock injury related to charging EVs.

Before buying an EV, have a qualified electrician install:

• A new, dedicated circuit for your EV charging device. Older home wiring may not be suitable for use with EV supply equipment.

• Level II charging devices (if that is your preferred charging method).

Charging EVs:

• Follow manufacturer’s guidelines when charging your vehicle. Check with your local dealer if you need additional information.

• Purchase a charging device that is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.

• Plug Level I EV chargers directly into an outlet designed to handle the amperage of the charging device. Never use a multiplug adapter or extension cord.

• Install a residual current device with the charging unit. It will turn off the power if a fault is detected.

To prevent a vehicle fire

• Have your vehicle checked and serviced regularly by a trained mechanic.

• Keep gas cans or propane tanks away from passengers. Tightly seal and place them on a flat surface to make sure they stay upright.

• Keep windows open to stop fumes from building up if you must put gas cans or propane tanks inside your vehicle.

• Drive safely to avoid an accident.

• Place all charging device components out of reach of children when not in use.

• Maintain your charging station according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Signs of excessive wear may indicate a potential shock hazard. Never use an EV charger with obvious signs of damage.

• Cover the EV charging station outlet to keep out water. Check the manufacturer’s guidelines to make sure it is safe to charge your EV in wet conditions.

GETTING TO KNOW

Maricela Guerrero

Giving voice to local businesses and promoting regional tourism

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer

Maricela Guerrero brings passion to her work!

Proudly and enthusiastically, she serves the City of Woodburn as the economic development and tourism project manager. Her position, which entails “a little bit of everything,” Maricela says lightheartedly, centers around developing the downtown core business area and championing regional tourism efforts. Her commitment to building strong relationships with Woodburn businesses and regional tourism assets plays out through her personal interactions coupled with an ability to listen and take to heart their cares and concerns.

Responding in kind, Maricela organizes forums to give the business owners a voice, allowing their causes to be addressed by the appropriate city services. During past meetings, business owners expressed concerns involving the alleyways alongside their stores. These meetings were attended by the Chief of Police, Code Enforcement and Republic Services who listened intently and applied positive action and quantifiable results in those areas. In addition to working directly with the businesses

and their owners, Maricela supports efforts to improve and beautify Woodburn’s downtown area. The 2019 First Street improvement project saw new sidewalks and streetscapes laid out, benefiting residents and businesses alike. Banners were later introduced to add “a pop of color” to the downtown streets, relates Maricela.

Additionally, Maricela is the board chair of the North Marion Tourism Collaborative. The 35-member collaborative represents the tourism industry in the North Marion County region, focusing on growing visitation throughout North Marion County while maintaining both a unique visitor experience and a sense of place for locals.

Spanning five years as a City of Woodburn employee, Maricela began her career as an economic development specialist. She then moved over to community relations manager, where she implemented and managed the regional rental assistance program as well as moving forward the Fiesta

Mexicana Court program. Concurrently, Maricela was part of the development of the Oregon Latinos in Local Government organization of which she now is the board chair.

Maricela was born and raised in Mt. Angel but spent a lot of time in Woodburn. Many family friends lived in Woodburn, so as far as Maricela’s concerned, she basically grew up in the area and it’s home to her. Maricela’s three grown children all live nearby in Silverton. She delights in seeing them often — especially her granddaughter, Angeline, who’s nearly two.

“I think our city is great,” says Maricela, “and we want the community to be great — a great place to raise a family.” She embraces her position with passion and is always mindful of Woodburn’s vision and mission: “Woodburn will be a safe, vibrant, full-service community and a great place to work, live and visit.” She adds, “I think we diligently work towards our mission in all the services we provide, from paying your water bill online to any of our community services, and we are always looking at how we can best bring our services to the community.”

New Construction:

A blessing or a curse?

Living near new construction can be a double-edged sword for those with older homes

Woodburn has several new developments in the works right now, which on one hand, the buzz of development and the influx of new neighbors can breathe fresh life into our community However, it's natural for homeowners to worry about how these shiny new builds might cast a shadow over their cherished, older properties.

There's a common fear that their homes, with their lived-in charm and unique quirks, might not stack up against the allure of brandnew construction, possibly affecting their home's value and attractiveness to future buyers.

For those thinking about selling in the near future, these changes can feel daunting, raising questions about how to position their home in a market that's becoming increasingly dominated by brand-new houses

It's a balancing act, trying to highlight the timeless appeal of an older home while navigating the evolving expectations of homebuyers drawn to the sparkle of new construction.

Let's work together

If you're feeling uncertain about where your home stands amidst all this new development, don't navigate these waters alone. Reach out to me, your local real estate expert, and let's discuss how we can showcase the unique value of your home. Whether you're considering selling now or in the future, I'm here to provide the guidance and support you need to make informed decisions. Let's protect and maximize your home's value together

Cows, Racing, and Western Wonderland

The history of Alpenrose Dairy

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

Pony rides? Baseball? Go kart racing? A person unfamiliar with the history of Alpenrose Dairy might frown in confusion at the mention of such activities in relationship to a dairy, but for those of us fortunate enough to have grown up in the Portland area during the last half of the 20th century, the name Alpenrose conjures up so much more than just dairy products.

It all began in 1896 when Florian Cadonau, a Swiss immigrant, moved to Oregon with his wife Agnes. The couple purchased a dairy at 35th and Vermont (known then as Hoffman Road) and started delivering milk to customers via horse-drawn buggy. At the time, many Swiss immigrants were moving to Portland due to the state’s fertile land and temperate climate. So similar were Oregon and Switzerland in this respect that in 1912, Paul Ritter, the Swiss Ambassador to the United States, while touring the state called Oregon “a second, but a larger Switzerland.”

In 1916, Henry Cadonau, Florian’s son, along with his wife Rosina (daughter of the Swiss consul to Portland) took over the family business. Henry and Rosina established their own farm nearby at 45th and Vermont which they named Alpenrose Dairy. The next few decades saw Alpenrose expand its operations, thriving while other competing dairies fell prey to mergers and consolidations. However, in 1943 a fire destroyed a barn and other equipment, and the decision was made to relocate Alpenrose to its present location on Shattuck Road. For years the Alpenrose delivery truck was a common sight in Portland neighborhoods, delivering milk in glass bottles straight to the milk box at one’s front door. At its height, Alpenrose had 50 delivery trucks and 35,000 customers.

It was during the 1950s when Henry’s grandsons were playing baseball too near Rosina’s rose garden (and trampling some of her plants) that she tasked her husband with building a baseball field for the boys. It wasn’t long before the local Little League was playing there also, and dugouts, lights, and a scoreboard were subsequently added. In the following years two more fields were constructed, and Alpenrose became known for its excellent baseball facilities. For a number of years Alpenrose Field even hosted the Little League Softball World Series which was broadcast on ESPN.

As it turned out, the baseball fields were just the beginning of Alpenrose’s involvement in the community. A hundred Shetland ponies were purchased by the family shortly thereafter, and pony rides were offered to children visiting the dairy. The Cadonaus also brought the ponies to local events — making it possible for numerous children to experience their first horseback ride. Alpenrose trotted out their ponies to represent the dairy in many city parades as well.

Soon baseball and ponies were not the only attractions drawing people to Alpenrose. Uncle Ray, the father of Rod Birkland — a cousin of the Cadonau boys — being mechanically-minded, came up with the idea of a quarter-midget racing track. It wasn’t long before the idea became a reality, and child-sized race cars were zooming around a track a quartermile in length, set in a natural bowl shaped area with seating for up to 500 spectators. In addition to the midget racing track, a velodrome facility was added in 1967 for bicycle racing. Carl Cadonau Sr. was sold the idea by the owner of Kissler’s Cyclery, a longtime bicycle shop in Southwest Portland. At the time the Pan American games needed a location for cycling trials. The Alpenrose Velodrome was one of the first constructed in the U.S. for that purpose, and with the steepest bank of any outdoor velodrome in the world, it drew enthusiasts from around the globe.

With the popularity of the aforementioned facilities, the Cadonaus created a final addition to their burgeoning recreational wonderland — Dairyville. A dairy-themed village with Old West-style storefronts, the charming attraction featured a doll museum, a harness-maker’s shop, an ice cream parlor, a music shop, and a 600-seat opera house with a Skinner pipe organ (now located in Portland’s Keller Auditorium). For decades, Dairyland was the nexus of a plethora of community events, ranging from “Sunday Fundays” featuring kite flying and frog races to visits from Rusty Nails, a popular clown with a local television show for children. From trapeze acts to chariot racing, Alpenrose grew from just a local attraction to a major amusement venue for the entire region.

The winter holiday season saw Alpenrose transform into a magical place. Christmas in Dairyville featured Storybook Lane, an elaborate display with live animal displays and 300 Christmas trees set in a miniature town. Each year 400 volunteers gathered to set up and host this traditional event that drew thousands of families from around the area.

Rosina Cadonau became known simply as “Grandma” to generations of fourthgraders who field-tripped to Alpenrose to learn the operations of a dairy. “Swiss Miss” taught the children how to milk a cow and then escorted them across the street for ice cream and cookies baked by “Grandma.”

Today, Alpenrose Dairy remains in operation, but Dairyville is closed. The race tracks and sports fields, too, face an uncertain future. A dispute between family members that ended in litigation resulted in Alpenrose being sold to the Kent, Washington-based Smith Brothers Farms. Smith Brothers continue to operate the dairy under the Alpenrose name. In July of 2021, items from the former Storybook Lane and Dairyville were sold at auction, bringing to a close one of Portland’s most cherished cultural treasures.

For those of us who grew up in Portland with the good fortune to partake in the sporting events, pony rides, fireworks, and holiday fun that was Alpenrose, we will forever miss this magical place. But we should all thank the Cadonau family for their generosity, decades of hard work, and a community spirit that transformed a regular dairy into a place that will reside in our memories forever!

Destroying and preventing moss can extend the life of roofs and improve the condition of patios and walkways. Moss B Ware products will not stain roofs or corrode aluminum and galvanized gutters, when used as directed. And if applied from this shaker container, no other equipment is necessary.

• Safe for roofs, patios and walkways

• Shake Moss B Ware product directly from canister or dissolve in water for spray

Pitched roofs that can be walked upon, such as composition, wood shingles, or shakes can most easily be treated by shaking the Moss B Ware granules directly from the container along the ridge of the roof. Rains then wash the Moss B Ware product down through lower moss patches. Apply three pounds for 600 square feet of treatment area. Rock, gravel, flat roofs and roofs that cannot be walked upon should

be treated with a liquid application, using a sprinkling can or any type of pump-up sprayer. Slowly add contents of this container to 5 to 10 gallons of water, stirring until completely dissolved. Single mixture will cover 600 square feet of roofing and will usually control moss for two years. Patios and walkways are most effectively treated with sprinkling can or pump-up sprayer application. Dead moss can be swept away. Annual applications may be necessary.

Use Moss B Ware products to stop moss before it starts. Just follow the directions for killing existing moss. For prevention only, use at a rate of one pound per 1,000 square feet. This may require annual treatment.
