July Hamlet Meeting Recap

Our guest speakers this month were TomSalzer from the Clackamas Soil and WaterConservation District (CSWCD) and BrianSchumaker with PNC Construction to give anupdate on the construction of the newBeavercreek Demonstration Farm, as well asPaul Hauer, president of Beaver CreekTelephone Company on what’s new at BCT.

Tom of CSWCD said they are inpreconstruction phase doing design andbudget reviews, and he shared the mostcurrent drawings of the 12,000 square footfacility. They are deciding on materials andgetting permits sorted with an estimated startdate of November 2018 and completion dateof December 2019.

A resident asked how they would deal withbuildings that need to be removed toaccommodate the new designs. Tom said theywould be either moving them, demoing themand reclaiming materials, or moving themtemporarily until they could find a home in thecommunity. This includes the originalfarmhouse and the structures at the end of theproperty. The board decided to preserve thefarmland and keep buildings within theexisting footprint, meaning as much land aspossible will be conserved for thedemonstration farm.

Paul from BCT gave an update on thebroadband rollout saying 650 members havesigned up so far with a priority on Beavercreekresidents. The entire ILEC territory should becomplete and converted by the end of 2019.BCT newer services include managed wifi aswell as EZVideo, a private, subscription-basedapp that provides live local TV - KATU (ABC),

Holiday Craft BazaarChangesReprint from the BCT Newsletter

BCT has organized and hosted the annualHoliday Craft Bazaar in early November forthe past 12 years. The event was designed as acombination community activity and fundraiser for a variety of local Clackamas Countynonprofits. Nearly 150 vendors joined inrecent years to present their hand crafted andlocal wares for an action packed day each fall.In addition to the craft vendors, childrencould enjoy a free photo with Santa, Maralee’sDance Production put on their Holiday DanceRecitals and the BCT team prepared and solda variety of refreshments with all proceedspegged for the charity selections for the year.

BCT employees dedicated hundreds of hoursover several months every year to prepare,organize and work the event for the benefit of

these nonprofits, our members and thesurrounding community. The company hasmade recent internal adjustments to increaseemphasis on securing infrastructure updatesand network speed increases to better ourmembers’ connection experience. This shift infocus has significantly reduced the timeavailable to work on events and othercommunity activities. It has forced leadershipto make the difficult decision to pass theorchestration of the annual Holiday CraftBazaar to another organization.

Unfortunately, no one has come forward toaccept the baton as of press time. It is ourhope that a local organization will stepforward and organize the bazaar in the future.BCT remains committed to local nonprofitcauses despite this shift in focus, and we aredetermined to continue to support them albeitthrough other means and methods. We willmiss seeing everyone that came to the bazaareach year.


Bat in Clackamas CountyTests Positive for Rabies

Officials at the Oregon Veterinary DiagnosticLaboratory on June 8 confirmed a bat fromClackamas County tested positive for rabies.The bat was found at a private residence inLake Oswego. No one was bitten or directlyexposed to the bat.

In this case, there was a potential exposure toone dog and two cats. Because dogs and catscan be at risk for rabies from bats, they couldpose a risk of infecting their owners. It isrequired to vaccinate dogs for rabies and,while not required, strongly recommended forcats. Unvaccinated cats will require fourmonths of strict quarantine per public healthprotocol in case of any unwitnessed exposuresto the rabid bat. If quarantining the animal isnot possible, euthanasia could berecommended for unvaccinated pets exposedto rabid bats.

“Because there is a risk of bats transmittingrabies to people and their pets, it is importantto avoid touching animals that appear sickand to keep pets – including dogs, cats andferrets – current on their rabies vaccinations,”said Dr. Sarah Present, Clackamas CountyHealth Officer.

Public health officials recommend thefollowing steps to safeguard communitymembers, families and pets:

• Vaccinate your pets, including animals thatare being fed on the property, like feral cats.However, feeding wild or feral animals is notrecommended.• Do not handle a live or dead bat. Call aprofessional wildlife removal service. A batseen during daylight hours is likely ill andshould be avoided.• Seal openings to attics, basements,porches, sheds, barns and chimneys.

• Feed pets indoors.• Keep garbage in secure containers awayfrom wildlife.• If your pet comes into contact with a bat,take it to a veterinarian.

With summer on the horizon, sightings ofbats and other interactions with bats aretypically more common. If you are scratchedor bitten by a bat, immediately wash theaffected area with soap and running water forat least five minutes and seek medicalattention. If the bat that caused the bitewound is available, it may be considered forrabies testing if the head is still intact. Contactthe Clackamas County Infectious DiseaseControl and Prevention Program at 503-655-8411 to report the bite and discuss bat testing.

State Funds New AffordableHomes for Oregon Families

Oregon Housing and Community Services(OHCS) is excited to announce the award of$53,906,900 to fund the development of 837new affordable homes for Oregon familiesthrough the Local Innovation and Fast Track(LIFT) housing program. These awards willbring much-needed housing stability tohistorically underserved Oregonians in ruraland urban communities across the state.

Oregon is at the precipice of anunprecedented housing crisis. In response tothe crisis, the 2017 Oregon Legislaturecommitted an additional $80 million inArticle XIQ general obligation bonds to theLIFT housing program. This commitmentfollows the 2015 Legislature’s investment of$40 million to the LIFT program. To date,LIFT has funded the development of over1700 new and affordable homes across thestate.

"All Oregonians deserve a decent, stable,affordable place to call home. By investing inhousing opportunities like LIFT, we cancreate an Oregon with a better future for all ofus," said Governor Kate Brown. "I was pleasedthat the Legislature answered my call forthese critical resources, and that the state isworking hand in hand with local communitiesto improve housing accessibility for ourfamilies."

This round of LIFT funding will fund a total ofnine affordable housing communities acrossthe state including developments in Lincoln,Umatilla, Multnomah, Marion, Polk and


Washington counties. Each of thesedevelopments is highlighted by robust servicepartnerships and targeted outreach to ensurethat historic disparities are overcome and thatthe future residents have opportunities toachieve self-sufficiency.

OHCS Director Margaret Salazar said, "We areabsolutely thrilled to provide these muchneeded housing opportunities forcommunities of color and rural Oregonianswho have been disproportionately impactedby the housing crisis. But we still have morework to do. With another round of LIFTfunding coming this fall, we are confident thatwe can bring housing stability back into reachfor many."

Oregon’s Current WorkforceGaps and Future Needs

Continued job growth and record lowunemployment are making it difficult forOregon businesses to fill current vacancies,and Oregon’s economy is expected to create263,000 total job openings each year through2027. These are the findings of two newreports released by the Oregon EmploymentDepartment.

The occupations with the largest number ofdifficult-to-fill vacancies included truckdrivers, carpenters, personal care aides,construction laborers, farmworkers, andrestaurant cooks. These occupations top thelist of 354 occupations reported by businessesto have difficult-to-fill vacancies.

Difficult-to-fill vacancies offered higheraverage wages than vacancies filled withoutdifficulty. The average offered wage was$18.28 per hour for difficult-to-fill vacanciesand $16.62 for job openings filled withoutdifficulty. Difficult-to-fill vacancies were morelikely to require previous work experience.Sixty-seven percent required previous workexperience, while just 40 percent of vacanciesfilled without difficulty required previousexperience.

All private sectors in Oregon are expected toadd jobs by 2027. Private health care andsocial assistance will lead all industries in newjob growth. The gain of 49,500 new jobs (20%growth) in health care can be attributed tocontinued growth and aging of the state’spopulation. Health care will account for oneout of every five new jobs created in Oregon by2027.

Health care also tops the list of Oregon’sfastest-growing occupations over the 10-yearperiod. Eleven of the top 20 occupations bygrowth rate are either health carepractitioners or health care support workers.They include physician and medical assistants,home health aides, nurse practitioners,veterinarians and veterinary assistants,physical and massage therapists, and otherhealth diagnosing and treating practitioners.

Oregon’s second fastest-growing industry willbe construction. Demand from bothpopulation and economic growth, andcurrently low residential inventory and lowcommercial vacancy rates across many areasof the state should lead constructionemployment to rise by 16,900 jobs (17%).Cement masons and concrete finishers,roofers, painters, tile and marble setters, andconstruction managers are also among thefastest-growing occupations statewide.

A broad variety of career opportunities will beavailable across all sectors as well as all jobtypes. At the typical entry-level education,one-third of all job openings will requireeducation or training beyond high school. Tomeet more competitive educationrequirements, nearly half of all job openingsrequire at least some training beyond highschool.

Occupations with the most job openings andtypically requiring a high school diploma orless include retail salespersons, cashiers, andfood preparation and serving workers. Thoserequiring a postsecondary certification orassociate degree include truck drivers,bookkeepers, and nursing and medicalassistants. Occupations with the most total


openings and at least a bachelor’s degree varyfrom general and operations managers toregistered nurses, accountants, and softwaredevelopers.

All areas of Oregon expect to see jobopportunities due to both economic growthand to replace workers leaving the labor forcein the coming years. The two regionsprojected to grow at the fastest rate areCentral Oregon (15%) and the Portland area(13%).

Summer Paving ScamsUnderway

The Construction Contractors Board (CCB) isinvestigating the season’s first reports ofpaving scams across the state. “Homeownersshould be wary of people who knock on thedoor and make an offer to pave a driveway atan unrealistic price,” Lead Investigator Eric

McLauchlin said.

The CCB is looking into recent reports ofscams in the rural areas north of Salem.Typically, someone comes to the door, saysthey have leftover supplies from other work inthe neighborhood, drops the name of aneighbor, then makes a lowball offer to pave adriveway. They are often ready to startimmediately, which doesn’t allow thecustomer time to reconsider.

The scammer takes money up front and thenperforms shoddy work with low-gradematerials. Often, they return to demand moremoney through intimidation.

“Please contact the CCB if you suspectconstruction scams in your area,” McLauchlinsaid. Call the CCB at 503-934-2229. You canalso report scams to local law enforcementagencies.

Scam suspects are often unlicensed, but notalways. The CCB is currently looking intoreports of a known “traveler” – someone thatis based out of state and shows up seasonally.These are often families with male and femaleparticipants.

Consumers can look up a contractor on theCCB website to see if they are activelylicensed and whether complaints have beenfiled against them. Visit www.oregon.gov/ccb.The easiest and most accurate way to searchis to type the contractor’s CCB licensenumber in the orange “Search” feature.Nearly all home improvement work requires aCCB license, meaning the contractor has abond and insurance that offer someprotection to consumers.

Local Scholars SolveOregon Mystery of“Beeswax Wreck”

For centuries, beeswax and Chinese porcelainhave washed ashore on Nehalem Spit, on thenorth Oregon Coast. Now, archival andarchaeological evidence point to the SantoCristo de Burgos, a seventeenth-centuryManila galleon owned by the kingdom of


Spain, as themysterious vesselcommonly known todayas the “BeeswaxWreck.”

Stories of a very largeshipwreck begancirculating during theearliest days of Euro-American presence inthe Pacific Northwest,as fur traders andexplorers learned fromNative people that alarge ship had long agowrecked on NehalemSpit, with survivors andcargo that includedbeeswax. The stories,shrouded byspeculation and oftencontradictory Euro-American folklore,captivated treasure-hunters who searchedfor a century and a halfon nearby NeahkahnieMountain and theadjacent beaches.

But which ship was it?The archaeologist-ledteam of the BeeswaxWreck Project usedgeology, archaeology,and porcelain analysis,combined withdocumentation fromSpanish archives, topinpoint the ship’slikely identity. Beeswaxstamped with Spanishshippers’ marksconfirmed the wreck’sorigin, and patterns onChinese porcelainsherds allowedresearchers to narrowthe date range.

The Spanish Manilagalleon trade was thefirst global network,

and close to 300 galleons left the Philippinesfor Acapulco carrying Asian goods during its250-year span. The Project determined thatthe Beeswax wreck was one of two galleonsthat vanished without a trace: the Santo Cristode Burgos, which sailed in 1693, or the SanFrancisco Xavier, which left Manila in 1705.Mapping the location of beeswax depositsallowed Project members to assert withconfidence that the ship almost certainlywrecked before the 1700 Cascadia earthquakeand tsunami.

Cameron La Follette and her team ofarchivists then undertook wide-rangingresearch in the archives of Spain, thePhilippines, and Mexico to locate all availableinformation about the Santo Cristo de Burgosof 1693. They discovered the history of theship’s Captain, Don Bernardo Iñiguez delBayo; a complete crew and passenger list; andhighly important facts about the cargo.Researchers now know that the Santo Cristode Burgos was carrying 2.5 tons of liquid

mercury. If the wreck is located, testing formercury will provide confirmation of theship’s identity.

After many years of work to solve thismulti-century mystery, La Follette’sresearch team and the Beeswax WreckProject group have recently published theirfindings in a special issue of the OregonHistorical Quarterly. The OregonHistorical Quarterly (OHQ) is a peer-reviewed public history journal publishedby the Oregon Historical Society thatbrings history about Oregon and the PacificNorthwest to both scholars and generalreaders. OHQ is one of the largest statehistorical society journals in the UnitedStates and is a recognized and respectedsource for the history of the PacificNorthwest region.

The Summer 2018 issue of the OregonHistorical Quarterly is now available forpurchase in the Oregon Historical Society’sMuseum Store for $10, and a subscriptionto OHQ is a benefit of Oregon HistoricalSociety membership. Abstracts for thearticles featured in this special issue areavailable online.

Cameron La Follette will also be giving afree presentation on the Beeswax wreck atthe Oregon Historical Society’s monthlySecond Sunday program on July 8 at 2pm.Cameron La Follette is the lead researcherand author on almost all of the articlespresented in the OHQ special issue“Oregon’s Manila Galleon.” She is leadauthor of Sustainability and the Rights ofNature: An Introduction; ExecutiveDirector of Oregon Coast Alliance, a coastalconservation organization; and anindependent researcher.

Avoiding Medical ID Theft

The high cost of health care in the U.S. meansthere is always going to be a market for thoselooking to scam the system. Medical ID thefttakes place when someone uses your healthinsurance – whether private insurance orsomething like Medicare – to see a doctor, geta prescription filled, or get medicaltreatments. Not only does this cost yourinsurance company or the government a greatdeal of money, it can mean that your medicalrecords will get mixed with the fraudster’s.This can affect both the healthcare youreceive as well as your credit report if thefraudster leaves a trail of unpaid billsfollowing treatment.

The best offense is a good digital defense:Don’t ever give out your insuranceinformation or Social Security number tosomeone who contacts you unsolicited.Be suspicious of anyone who offers you freedevices or services if you just supply yourinsurance or Medicare number.

Check the “explanation of benefits” that yourinsurance provider sends after each visit ortreatment. Ensure that the dates of service,types of service and provider are all correct.Watch for unexpected bills or calls from debtcollectors concerning medical treatment thatyou did not receive.

Watch for a notice from your insuranceprovider that you’ve reached your benefitlimit earlier than expected or you get a denialof benefits because you received treatment fora condition that your medical records showyou don’t have.

Finally, do not let anyone borrow yourinsurance card – it’s illegal.

If you believe a thief may have used yourmedical ID, it is important to contact eachprovider involved. Request complete copies of


all of your medical and billing records.Dispute, in writing, any services you believeare fraudulent and keep records of anyactions you take.

If you have been victimized by an online scamor any other cyber fraud, be sure to alsoreport it to the FBI’s Internet CrimeComplaint Center at www.ic3.gov or call yourlocal FBI office.
