RED WINE &
CHOCOLATE
TRUFFLES
Newly released 2012 red wines from the
Ferraro Cellar will be available for tasting on Saturday, February 14 from noon
to 4 pm at the Oak Hills Rec Center.
The three wines being offered for tasting
are: 2012 Mista Rossa, Columbia Valley,
Tony, Mary, Dick and Dominic Ferraro
a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
and Zinfandel; 2012 Zinfandel, Gunkel Vineyard Hellsgate Block, Maryhill,
WA; and 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, Phinny Hill Vineyard-Horse Heaven Hills, Columbia
Valley. White wines from other local wineries will be available for tasting as well. There will be
no tasting fee; Ferraro wines will be available for purchase by the bottle, with special discounts
for case purchases. Wine tasting will be accompanied by dark chocolate truffles handcrafted by
Dana Dooley of Honest Chocolates in McMinnville. Truffle fillings are flavored with the Ferraro red wines, imparting flavors of dried currant, cherry and cranberry. Chocolates will also be
available for sale.
Dick and Mary Ferraro are long-time residents of Oak Hills. Their two sons, Tony and Dominic, attended local schools and were active on the Oak Hills swim team as swimmers and coaches. Dick Ferraro started out making wine in his Oak Hills home while working for the US Forest Service. The family often invited neighborhood friends for the annual grape stomp in their
garage. After retiring from the Forest Service, Dick and Mary started pursuing wine making
more seriously and now are winemakers and owners of their own label.
NEW DESIGN TEAM TO START WORK
At the January board meeting the OHHA board approved a contract with Opsis Architecture
to take over the planning and design work for a possible Rec Center remodel. The contract includes a review of existing plans and surveys, conducting two community open house meetings,
involvement in four meetings with the board and/or the building committee and preparation
of drawings and plans that will be used to generate rough estimates of the total costs. The contract calls for the initial community open house to take place in February; however at the time
the Oracle went to print, the board had not yet determined if sufficient progress had been made
to present to homeowners and a meeting date had not been set.

REPORT: OHHA MONTHLY BOARD MEETING,
January 7, 2015
By Micki Sparr, editor
Present: Sarah Bourne, David Boyd, Sheila Brewer, Brad Buchholz, Bob Erickson, Jim Erzen, Sara Gauntt, Linda Marshall,
Dan Smith.
A homeowner shared information from Washington County
leaders on plans for preparing for marijuana legalization with the
board and audience.
A homeowner asked for clarification of a statement made by
Sarah Bourne at the December 10 special board meeting. At the
time, she had said that OHHA was not subject to a rule requiring
72 hours notification of an official meeting. Bourne and Linda
Marshall replied that they had incomplete information at the
time of the meeting and later determined that the 72-hour rule
does apply to OHHA. The homeowner also asked for written
documentation of the hours of work and tangible work produced
by the Howells architectural firm for the $5000 fee. After some
unproductive responses from some board members, board president Dan Smith promised to provide documentation.
Bob Erickson, Treasurer, presented the financial report. Income
is up for the same period as last year, primarily due to the increase
in dues. Legal expenses have increased. Smith remarked that the
additional legal expenses have been necessary. Erickson agreed
but noted that he or another board officer should review legal
expenses before payment by CMI. Brewer suggested OHHA
look into a legal arrangement with a monthly payment covering a set number of hours per month. She will provide a copy of
the contract to Erickson. Erickson will look at the contract and
determine if it might be a good fit.
Smith provided an overview of the Rec Center project. He noted
that serious exploration of a significant remodel emerged after
numerous problems were uncovered as a result of necessary replacement of flooring and tile in the lower level bathrooms/showers and it became clear that more extensive work was necessary.
David Boyd has been working with a small committee to establish a baseline for the minimal repairs/upgrades that would
be required to get our facilities up to code and make necessary
repairs for safety and usage. His committee is composed of several
residents who have backgrounds in the construction industry. The
committee identified three “trigger points”: 1) the tunnel leading
to the bathroom/shower rooms. The tunnel has already had to be
shored up after engineering reports found structural weakness. 2)
Electrical systems must all be upgraded and brought up to code.
There are currently safety concerns, and extensive replacement/
repairs will be required soon. When electrical panels are replaced,
it will require additional electrical code improvements including
‘grounding’ the pool deck and deck structures. This type of work
could result in risk to the existing pool. 3) The administration
building’s electrical systems are not up to code and would likely
require tearing out all the walls to do so. In addition, the fill surrounding the building would have to be excavated and replaced to
ensure the structural integrity of the building. The committee is
still evaluating the costs to make only these necessary/required repairs to make the facilities safe and bring all systems up to current
building code. ADA compliance will also need to be addresses.
Boyd said he was unable to assign costs to these repairs at this time
but he hoped to have this information by next month or sooner.
A homeowner asked why the association hasn’t been fined for
code violations, or why earlier inspections hadn’t revealed the
problems. Boyd replied that the newest codes are not applied
to existing facilities unless remodeling is undertaken. Current
electrical systems are now failing, must be replaced, and will have
to meet current building codes.
Homeowner, Mack Thanes introduced himself. He said his wife
grew up in Oak Hills and they are happy to live here now. He is
employed in the construction industry. He wanted to offer his
expertise to help the neighborhood determine both what residents
want and what they can afford to have. He hopes his background
will help the committee define the scope of work and the budget
for that work. He urged all homeowners to download the report
provided by Miller Engineering (on the OHHA website) as it is
very informative and will help to understand the deficiencies of
the current facilities and what will be required to fix the deficiencies. The work of his committee will ‘dovetail’ with the work that
Opsis will be doing.
Sara Bourne distributed copies of the OpsisArchitecture contract.
The contract with the firm would provide planning and design
services for the proposed rec center project.
Bourne went through specifics of what is to be be delivered by
Opsis under their contract including a timeline. Opsis will develop three design options that will be reviewed by the Rec Center
Building Committee and then will be presented at a town hall
meeting with the community. After the town hall, Opsis will meet
again with the building committee. Bourne called attention to
activities taking place in February. She hopes homeowners will
get fully involved during February to provide ample feedback to
guide Opsis in preparing the most comprehensive plans. There
will be a base plan but will include possible future elements that
can be added later. After community input, Opsis will provide
‘ball park’ costs. In addition to town hall meetings there will also
be a board-designed survey distributed to residents on preferred
options. Based on community input and survey responses, the
board will choose a single design. Next step will be to choose a
building contractor that will provide more exact cost estimates.
The chosen design along with more precise costs should be finalized by May 15. With this timeline, it does not appear that a vote
by homeowners on the proposal can be held at the annual meeting
page 3
in May. Bourne suggests there be a special meeting to vote on the
Rec Center proposal on June 9. At that time, homeowners will
be offered a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ option on whether to adopt the proposal.
OAK HILLS' HOME OF THE MONTH
FOR FEBRUARY!
A homeowner asked who would create the design options survey, and who would count and record the responses. Bourne
responded that she would likely create the first draft and the Rec
Building Committee and the board would review it. She is not
certain at this time how responses would be logged.
Responding to a question about voting at a special meeting,
Bourne and Brewer stated that online voting would be allowed
but that homeowners will be able to choose to vote either by paper
ballot or online. The association’s legal firm, Vial Fotheringham,
would administer online voting.
Marshall asked if the plans developed by Opsis will include buildings only or include landscaping. Bourne responded that some
landscape and site alterations would be included.
The board voted to approve the OpsisArchitecture contract with
payment not to exceed $22,700, billed monthly.
Brewer discussed a three-page list of ‘bullet points’, items that
should be included in the new facilities. Points are divided into
“must haves”, “wants” and “luxuries”. She said the bullet points
were developed based on responses to previous homeowner surveys, the town hall held last July, a survey of current and former
employees, and complaints and suggestions from homeowners
logged at the rec center. Board members were in general agreement on the suggested bullet points to be forwarded to Opsis.

Brewer asked Marshall if she would like to join the Rec Building
Committee. Marshall replied that she would like to take part and
will think about it.
David Boyd, RV Lot Director, reported that fence repairs will start
January 19 and some vehicles will have to be moved during the
repairs. He noted that some vehicles might have to be parked on
the streets for a short time during repairs. He also reported there
are currently a few smaller spaces available in the lot.
Sarah Bourne, Director, Architectural Review, reported she has
had contact with two residents who are willing to serve on the
Architectural Review Board and both are architects. The two
are Carolina Mariani Queen and Michael McNamara. Queen
will join the ARB immediately; McNamara will join ARB when
he returns in spring. Bourne reported ARB had received two
applications for large-scale remodels and is therefore pleased to
have two experienced people to join them.

Full and Half-Day Kindergarten Starts Next Fall
The Beaverton School District will provide full-day kindergarten at all elementary schools beginning September 2015. The kindergarten day will be the same length as grades one through five. All students are expected to attend kindergarten at their designated
neighborhood school. Parents who desire a half-day experience may choose to do so, and should notify the school when registering
their child. Half-day students will be in the same classrooms as the full-day kindergarten students. Literacy and math curriculum will
be taught in the mornings; art, music and pe will be clustered in the afternoons. There will be no afternoon half-day kindergarten
program. Half-day kindergarten students may ride the bus to school (depends on distance from school), but parents will be responsible for picking up their student at the designated morning dismissal time. At the parent’s request, a student may begin attending a
full-day program if they determine that a half-day program is no longer necessary for their child. All elementary schools will offer Kindergarten Orientations/Registration in the next several months. For more information, please
contact your neighborhood elementary school. Call Oak Hills Elementary school at 503-533-1860.

NEIGHBORS
by Colleen Shannon
The Asbury family is featured this month. Locals, Lark and
Ryan Asbury met through a mutual friend and moved to their
home on Oak Hills Drive from Hillsboro. Already familiar with
the neighborhood because Ryan’s best friend lived in Oak Hills,
they wanted a community atmosphere for their children.
The two Asbury children are son, Cooper, 5½ years old and
daughter, Penelope (Penny), 15 months old. Cooper attends
Oak Hills Kindergarten and is a “sports fanatic”. He already
plays golf with daddy and loves baseball. Penny is named after
her great-grandmother and loves to dance and play chase with
her brother.
Lark grew up in a rural area twelve miles west of Hillsboro. She
graduated from Hillsboro High School. She said her family
loved having the beautiful property but remembers spending a
lot of time in the car going to and from school, sports and activities. By choosing Oak Hills, she looks forward to being in closer
proximity to their children’s school and activities.
Ryan was born in Hood River and raised in Aloha. He is a graduate of Aloha High School. After attending the University of Oregon, Ryan became a Union Finish Carpenter. For the past eleven years he has been a free agent in the Union, but has worked
for just two (busy!) companies during that time. For the past
eight years he has worked for JS Perrott, a commercial construction company. The company is currently working on a 30-story
condo downtown behind Nordstrom. The company also does
all of Nike’s work, including remodeling and new construction.
Other projects in the works are an 18-story apartment building
near Lloyd Center and a 25-story building in the Pearl District.
After attending Seattle Pacific University, Lark graduated
from Portland State University with a teaching degree. She has
worked for Nike for fifteen years. After earning her degree she
started teaching in the Pre-K program, one of two accredited
schools on the Nike campus. Seven years ago she moved into
a different area altogether, to “Product Creation and Athlete
Insights”. The position uses her education skills, while creating
Nike’s next generation of footwear and equipment based upon
the performance needs of the athlete. This role requires some
travel; and while she says she loves her job, its tough being gone
and only can do it with her family's support. Regarding childcare while traveling, Lark said, “We have a village.” Her mother,
Ryan’s parents, and her brothers and sister-in-law all help.
The Asburys love spending time with their big extended family.
They also like to camp and enjoy spending time with friends.
Ryan is a dedicated golfer. On Sunday mornings he works at
Quail Golf Course in Banks in exchange for free golfing. On
Saturdays he plays golf in the Quail Men’s Club. A history buff,
Ryan takes a special interest in our nation's history. The family
spent ten days in Boston a few summers ago. They did their own
walking tour and highly recommend the “Duck Boat Tour.”
Lark said the name of the tour doesn’t do it justice. She said it
was so interesting and history-filled they would have liked to
have gone a second time.
Regarding her interests, Lark admits she is a “freak about running.” During the workday lunch hour she runs with a Nike
group and is also captain of a Hood to Coast team. At home she
“throws the kids in the stroller and away I go!” Lark is excited to
be the Secretary of the Oak Hills Elementary School PTO. This
is a way she can stay involved with the school even though she
works full time.
Before leaving, Lark asked if I would like to see what Ryan is currently working on. Walking into the garage, there stood a beautiful, big (9’ x 4’) table he has crafted from 93-year-old wood. The
wood was saved from a shop in Hillsboro that had been torn
down. The Asburys look forward to being able to have both
sides of the family around it for future holiday dinners. Welcome to Oak Hills, Asburys!

SUSTAINABLE FOOD SERIES AT
LEEDY GRANGE HALL
GROWING
ORGANICALLY
by Margie Lachman
Winter can seem bleak and colorless in the garden except for
camellias and a few other winter bloomers. But flowers are not
the only colorful parts of the garden. There is a small tree that
is spectacular in winter, the Japanese maple, ‘Sango-kaku’. The
name means sea coral and upward growing or tower. Lovely
spring through fall, the bark is the star in winter months when its
glowing coral red color deepens in the colder temperatures. These
trees can vary in their winter coloration and it is best to choose
one in winter when the color is most prominent. Try to find one
with coral color on the trunk as well as the branches. The bark
color will fade as leaves appear in spring weather then reappear
like magic in late fall. Its green leaves turn yellow, red-purple and
bronze in autumn for a lovely display.
This slow growing tree tops out at about 20 to 25 feet tall and
is vase shaped. Few insect or disease problems bother it if it is
planted where it has good drainage (it does not grow well in clay
soil), rich soil, good air circulation and full sun or part shade. It
should be placed in a position where it will be a focal point in the
garden and will light up gloomy days but is an especially beautiful
sight against blue sky on a clear day.
There are several Sango-kaku maples growing in our area, so
take a walk or ride around the neighborhood and look for these
colorful winter trees. I am sure you will be impressed. If you are
looking for a small tree and have a good spot to plant it, consider
the coral bark maple.

BETTER KNOW YOUR CC&R’S
The full legal title is “Amended and Restated Declarations of Restrictions of Oak Hills Home Owners Association (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions)” but they are better known as CC&R’s. Last updated with changes approved by a vote of the homeowners in
2013, they are the rules that apply to all owners of homes in Oak Hills. Whether you were aware of it or not, a copy of the CC&R’s
was one of the many documents you signed when you closed on your home; owners are contractually obligated to comply with the
rules. Compliance is not voluntary, it is required. In some cases, fines can be assessed for non-compliance.
There’s a good chance you haven’t taken the time to read through the CC&R’s lately. As a public service, the Oracle will begin a series
of articles drawing attention to one or more of the provisions in our CC&R’s. Highlighted this month is Article V (f ) which addresses
disabled or unlicensed vehicles. The exact text from the official document is printed below. The complete CC&R’s are available on the
OHHA website, oak-hills.net, under Documents.
Article V, Section (f) Abandoned, disabled or unlicensed vehicle shall be parked, placed, or maintained only within enclosed
garages. They shall not be parked, placed or maintained on other Residential or Association Property or on any street within
Oak Hills for any purpose at any time.
Enforcement of compliance issues is the responsibility of OHHA board member Linda Marshall. She is assisted by Compliance
Committee members, Nancy Robbins, Manuella Nicholas, and Barbara McCann. Contact information for Marshall is on page 11 of
the Oracle. Committee members' contact information can be found in the OHHA board newsletter each month.
