WOODBURN FIRE DISTRICT
Woodburn Fire District Awarded SAFER Grant
The Woodburn Fire District is excited to announce the expansion of its firefighting force, thanks to a three-year, $4,646,088 grant awarded through FEMA’s Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) program. This funding will allow the district to hire eight additional firefighters, ensuring two fully staffed engine companies are available 24/7 to serve the growing community.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends a staffing ratio of one firefighter per 1,000 residents. With a combined population of approximately 40,000 between the cities of Woodburn and Gervais, the fire district has been faced with a staffing deficit While the district has steadily increased staffing as funds allowed, community growth has far outpaced financial resources, limiting the ability to expand emergency response capabilities.
Currently, the district has 16 firefighters, equating to just 4.38 firefighters available per day. To bolster response efforts, an intergovernmental agreement was formed in 2023 with the Hubbard Fire District to
assist in cases where multiple emergency calls occur simultaneously. However, the need for additional personnel remained critical.
To address this, the Woodburn Fire District has, for the past four years, been applying for SAFER grants. In 2024, the district successfully secured the grant funding, marking a significant milestone in its history.
The newly hired firefighters are Marshall Bray, Joseph De La Vega, Grant Dickenson, Trevor Hubbard (not included in photo), Brett Kruger, Maximillian Sucher, Zachariah Weldon, and Zachariah Wright — were officially sworn in at the district’s regularly scheduled board meeting on February 19, 2025. They will begin an eight-week training academy on March 3, 2025, led by newly promoted Lieutenant Jesse Halpern and Firefighter Engineer Thomas Cally. Upon completing the academy, they will be assigned to one of the district’s six shifts at either Station 21 on Newberg Hwy. or Station 22 on James Street, where they will undergo a rigorous one-year probation under the mentorship of seasoned Woodburn Fire personnel.
“This is a historic event for the Woodburn Fire District, as we have never before had the personnel to operate two fully staffed engine companies,” said Fire Chief Jim Walker. “We are excited to add to our already highly qualified membership and enhance emergency services for our community.”

Serving the community through leadership
By Patti Jo Brooks, Active Media
Business is on the rise in Woodburn! Supported by city economic development programs, the business community and local clientele, it’s an exciting time for Woodburn businesses to expand, develop and grow. Do it Best, Woodburn’s local warehousing for hardware and building supplies, was established in Woodburn over 30 years ago and has become one of the city’s most integral members of the community. Completing a three-year expansion and remodel project to maximize efficiency and better serve their customers of today and tomorrow, Do it Best promises to do just that!
A worldwide distributor, Do it Best is the only U.S. based, member-owned and fully-integrated buying cooperative in their industry. Twenty-one corporate distribution centers are located across the country, and Woodburn leads the distribution of building materials in the West. Serving independents like G.W. Hardware, these smaller businesses enjoy the benefits of added purchasing power as well as sharing in Do it Best company profits.
A servant leadership company, everyone from the president to the newest team member is committed to the Do it Best corporate values. Philosophy: Serving others as we would like to be served. Mission: Making the best even better. Goal: Helping our members grow and achieve their dreams. “I think the philosophy and corporate goals are so strongly ingrained in each person in this company,” says Blaine Oswald, General Manager of the Do it Best retail service center. “That’s what makes it a great place to work.”
Team members are supported, respected and cared for. “They are the heart and soul of the business. They’re what makes us tick, makes us go forward,” states Oswald. Team members have fun participating in events and lunches and love the opportunities to win prizes. They can also receive “recognition dollars” for on-the-job safety, quality work, teamwork, communication, etc. These “dollars” are redeemable at Woodburn’s onsite Team Member Store which plays a role in the larger service of Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle!
Employing an ongoing team of approximately 150 local staff, spring and summer will have more positions open up as seasonal business increases. “There are all kinds of opportunities for people who want to advance,” Oswald says, noting that team members can choose career paths that utilize their extensive
experience and skills, advance their skills and leadership, or focus entirely on helping co-op members grow their business.
In addition to being a strong employer and a supportive, involved distributor for independent business, Do it Best focuses on helping their community be a viable place for people to live.
Accessing Do it Best Foundation’s local chapter, Woodburn’s distribution center is able to allocate money for grants to nonprofits and charitable organizations that serve their community. Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity and The Wheel to Walk Foundation are among the organizations they support. District schools and the City of Woodburn are also recipients of Do it Best’s efforts to “give back.” Fire and carbon monoxide detectors, for example, are donated to the city for distribution within the community.

Hope, Healing & So Much Heart
By Donovan Darling, Active Media Photos courtesy of Kimmee Auxier
Losing a loved one is a profound experience, and honoring their memory can be a powerful way to create a lasting legacy. This particular annual event supports Elijah’s Heart House, a nonprofit, family-run foundation started by Jeff and Kimmee Auxier in memory of their son, Elijah, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 16 from restrictive cardiomyopathy. A significant aspect of the event is its ability to connect families to Elijah’s story, reinforcing the foundation’s mission to inspire philanthropy and community involvement. With tickets usually sold in advance and over 498 attendees last year, Elijah’s Heart House is expecting another strong turnout.
At this year’s Mosey & Mingle event, guests will find an inviting and festive atmosphere. A patio area adorned with fresh flowers, heaters and comfortable seating will welcome guests, leading into the barn where a variety of auction items will be on display. Elijah’s Heart House merchandise will be available for purchase. Olivia Harms and her band will be performing music as well as trombonist Rob Magee.
The event, run by founder Kimmee Auxier and a dedicated team of volunteers, features diverse attractions. Adults and children can explore the lake and the Elijah’s Heart House playground. Pony rides will be available for children. Line dancing to be led by Joyce Mattson promises to be a highlight of the evening. Guests can enjoy a variety of foods included in
the ticket price. Vendors include Good News BBQ, Tamale Boy, Curbside Bistro, Marsh and Mallow Smores, Olea Winery, Shaker & Salt cocktails and more. These vendors plan to donate 50% of their earnings to Elijah’s Heart House. Once again, we will have both online and live auctions as well as a fantastic gift card wall that will be raffled off. Bids are placed both before and during the live auction, led by professional auctioneer Patrick Siver.
Each year, Elijah’s Heart House hopes to raise more money, especially since they are helping more families across the country. Elijah’s Heart House has helped pediatric patients and their families at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, and Randall Children’s Hospital here in Oregon, as well as Boston Children’s, Seattle Children’s, Phoenix Children’s and many other hospitals across the country. The fourth annual community fundraising event at Elijah’s Heart House continues to raise awareness and funds so they can support families enduring traumatic experiences with their children.
This year’s Mosey & Mingle event will be held May 10, 2025 from 3 to 7 p.m. at 15668 N.E. Eilers Road in Aurora. You can grab your tickets at www.ourfundraiser.events/EHH2025. Tickets are $40 online or $50 at the door, and $10 for children ages 10 and under. Children under 2 are free. More details can be found at www.elijahshearthouse.org.
Elijah’s Heart House is a 501(c)(3) organization. The Elijah J. Auxier Foundation was established to provide assistance to pediatric patients and their families, as well as housing grants when they cannot get into a Ronald McDonald House.

OT Doc Program Integrates Anatomage Tech
Technology transforms real anatomy and physiology into digital cadavers
By Maureen Brakke, Western Oregon University
Western Oregon University is redefining the educational landscape for aspiring healthcare professionals by integrating Anatomage technology into its Occupational Therapy Doctorate program. With the addition of two state-of-the-art Anatomage tables, students now have unparalleled opportunities to explore human anatomy through advanced real digitized cadavers.
The Anatomage bodies, built from real frozen cadaveric slices, provide ultra-high-definition, life-size representations of human anatomy, physiology, and pathology. These innovative resources feature detailed anatomical variations, including male and female anatomy, pregnancy, and geriatric anatomy, offering students a comprehensive understanding of the human body in a dynamic and interactive setting.
“Utilizing Anatomage technology aligns with our commitment to providing high-quality education,” said Sean Roush, OTD, OTR/L, FAOTA, director of the Occupational Therapy program. “This approach not only enhances the learning experience but also prepares our students to excel in their future careers. They are gaining hands-on learning opportunities with the latest technology in the field, which is essential for their success.”
The use of Anatomage tables also addresses the logistical challenges and costs associated with housing and maintaining real human cadavers. Students can engage with the material in a flexible and accessible manner, ensuring they receive the same quality of education without the barriers traditionally faced in anatomy courses.
“As a new instructor in the Occupational Therapy program, I have had an amazing opportunity to utilize the Anatomage tables for our anatomy and neuroscience courses,” shared Brianne Salvati, OTD, OTR/L, ECHM. “The tables offer a diverse range of tools and teaching methods to meet the needs of our students. I can create my own presets for students to access and study on their own time and even use the tables for quizzes.”
Salvati emphasizes that, unlike traditional cadaver labs, the Anatomage system is low maintenance, requiring no chemicals
or extensive equipment management. This allows students to virtually dissect and isolate structures with ease, restoring them at the touch of a button. The flexibility of the system enables more open-lab opportunities without the need for preservation training. Students can rotate views, zoom in, and color-coordinate structures for enhanced visibility, observing actual spinal tracts and blood vessels to understand their functions. “By simply tapping on a muscle, students receive detailed information on its origin, insertion, nerve innervation, and action, along with movement simulations of agonist and antagonist muscle groups,” Salvati explained.
Western’s emphasis on innovative technologies reflects its dedication to equipping students with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Graduates of the Occupational Therapy Doctorate program will not only leave with a deep understanding of anatomy but also with the confidence to apply this knowledge in real-world settings.
With this integration of Anatomage technology, Western is truly setting a new standard in healthcare education, preparing students for success in their future careers.
The Occupational Therapy Doctorate program is in the Center for Graduate Studies in downtown Salem, providing a collaborative space for graduate students to study, meet with peers, and work on group projects. This dedicated facility is designed to foster community and support academic success.

School’s Back in Session
Historic building ready to welcome community once more
By Justin Andress, Active Media
Photos from Mark Prairie Historical Society
After four long years, the Mark Prairie Historical Society has completed the renovation of the Schoolhouse, a staple of the community for nearly 150 years. With this landmark back up to form, locals can once again enjoy this lovingly preserved slice of history.
The original schoolhouse was built in 1879 on two acres of land deeded to the community by Alexander Marks, with lumber milled nearby.
From its inception, the schoolhouse was a lynchpin of the local community. When the Canby School District absorbed the local students in 1946, the Marks family took steps to keep the building and surrounding lands within community control.
According to volunteer Restoration Project Manager Peggy Sigler, the Marks family “sold [the building] for a dollar to their neighbors who organized as a nonprofit and ran it as a community club. They once held bridal showers organized by the Mother’s Club, 4-H meetings, and extension club meetings. The community club also had monthly potluck dinners.”
Board member and Mark-family descendent Judi Aus adds, “In the first two years, 17 families joined. That number almost doubled by 1953.”
Nestled in the midst of an untouched white oak savanna, the Mark Prairie School was a pastoral paradise just a few miles south of Canby. Even as it played host to the community’s development, the schoolhouse became a monument to its history.
Several artifacts can still be spotted by schoolhouse visitors. There’s still a (non-functional) outhouse that was built in the 1930s as a part of the New Deal. Some of the original cast iron and oak desks have survived through the years, as have many early textbooks.
The Mark Prairie School remained an integral part of community celebrations until 2021, when disaster struck. A powerful ice storm rolled through the area and dropped two massive oak trees on the schoolhouse roof.
Overnight, the cherished schoolhouse was on the brink of catastrophe. Unfortunately, this was only the first trial that awaited the Mark Prairie Historical Society over the next four years. A mixture of a hard-won insurance settlement, donations,
and more than 30 grants paid for the restoration which ballooned to an amount far higher than predicted.
“When we first met with the insurance company and the contractor, they each told us about $100,000 and a year [of build time],” says Sigler. “We are right over $800,000 now and it’s taken us four years.”
After parting ways with their original contractor for lack of progress, Mark Prairie Historical Society found Tualatinbased Emerick Construction. “They’ve been fabulous to work with,” says Sigler. “The first winter they put on a whole new roof. It was completely rebuilt on site.”
a lovingly maintained hodge podge of improvements. Since the building passed into community hands in the 1940s, members added on a kitchen with hand-medown appliances. They added running (cold) water and a bathroom on the porch.
Sigler and Aus are also quick to thank the community that’s supported them with donations of time, money and materials. Sigler says, “Pacific Timber Products donated the lumber for the porch. Do It Best Hardware donated sundries to build the porch. Canby Builders donated the shellac for the interior walls. Benjamin Moore gave us paint for the woodwork and exteriors. Waite Concrete donated a new septic tank.”
Aus chimes in. “The Canby Rotary Club built the porch, cleaned and painted the vestibule; along with Historical Society members and neighbors, they were there with a trailer and pickups to move the furniture out of the schoolhouse shortly after the trees fell.”
Prior to the rebuild, the site was
In the wake of the 2021 ice storm, however, the Mark Prairie Historical Society made major quality-oflife improvements. They added more windows, a dishwasher, hot water, heat, air conditioning, and a fully ADA-compliant bathroom. It’s now an up-to-date venue ready to host weddings, meetings, retreats, reunions, yoga classes and more.
“We tried to make it feel like the historical classroom,” says Sigler. “But we also want to keep it versatile so people can use it for anything they want. Ultimately, though, the goal is to make it available to the larger community as a gathering place, venue, and historic destination.”
Make your own mark on history by reserving your next event at the Mark Prairie Schoolhouse when it reopens to the public in mid-May.
For more information, call 503-3536563, email info@markprairiehistorical society.org or visit www.markprairie historicalsociety.org. The Dedication Ceremony & Celebration is May 14, 3:30 to 8 p.m., with a Canby Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting at 4 p.m. This event is an open house with refreshments.

Hello, I’m John Zobrist,
I was born and raised in Redmond, Oregon, and after college, I spent several years living and working in Bend. In 1989, my wife Robin and I decided to move to the Woodburn area, where we’ve made our home ever since. We enjoy spending time with family, traveling, gardening, and hanging out with friends.
I’m also pretty handy with tools, and over the years, Robin and I have renovated three homes together. Each project has been a true labor of love, and our shared passion for home improvement has only brought us closer while giving us a deep appreciation for the unique charm of every space we’ve worked on.
