If students are not in the kitchen, they are in the "Shaw Shack" located in the cafeteria, being taught from an updated curriculum for the Culinary Arts Program at the school. There are 3 different aspects of the program. First, he trains students in basic work skills, not necessarily specific to the food industry. He has them sweeping, cleaning, and scrubbing together, as a team to sharpen work habits and communication skills with one another. Secondly, he inspires students to have an interest in both food and cooking. He wants students to feel something about food that they have never felt before. Lastly, he teaches basic food skills for lifelong living. He wants them to be able to look into their pantry and understand how to "pull something together" for dinner. Chris says that participation is KEY. The expectation is for students to listen, and then become engaged with the process while working well with others. Students are required to get a food handler's card and can take the test at the school. They must also have their hair pulled back while in the kitchen and working around the food. Chris is currently working towards a professional CTE license. MESD is helping him to navigate the challenging process. The current program will become a certified program in three years.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; break-after: auto; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Chris was born in San Diego. His father was enlisted in the Navy and after serving, his father moved the family to Mississippi. He attended college, getting a degree in landscape architecture. His mom was an administrator at a bank. When Chris was five years old, his family moved to Richmond, Va. Chris was an only child and was shy, playing soccer in his youth. His favorite memories as a child were spending time on his grandparent's farm in Mississippi each summer, horseback riding, fishing, working in the garden, and eating fresh food. Chris loved to spend hours cooking with his grandmother and working with his grandfather in his wood shop. In high school, Chris took a photography class and enjoyed it so much that he built a dark room in the family home! After graduation, Chris went to college in Mississippi to study landscape architecture. He had wanted to attend an art college, but it was not a possibility. After one year, Chris left school because his heart was not in it. He stayed in Mississippi to work as a photographer for the local newspaper. After meeting international students and parents of friends who had traveled abroad, Chris decided to move back home to Richmond and start working in restaurants. His first job was in a bakery in Carytown, making scones, sandwiches, and a variety of baked goods. He later went on to work at other bakeries, an Indian restaurant, and a handful of fine-dining restaurants. All of these experiences taught him a variety of food preparation and cooking skills. In 1995, Chris made a move to Portland and lived downtown. Greg Higgins, owner of Higgins restaurant, told him he needed more experience with specific Northwest food. Chris worked in a variety of restaurants to gain knowledge of local food and cooking styles. He then moved in 1996 to Corbett to work on an organic farm. He had a strong desire to grow a variety of organic foods. Chris met his wife Megan while she was working at the Blue House in Springdale, a local bakery. They began dating in 2000 and married in 2003 at her parent's home in Latourell. They rented a home on the Scenic Highway, across from Menucha for the first three years. Megan had gone to college to become a teacher while Chris began working at Multnomah Falls as a cook, first part-time and then full-time in 2002. He started as a line cook when going full-time and then became a sous chef in 2003, later becoming an executive chef. He worked at the restaurant for 20 years before covid hit and he was laid off. He connected with Seth Tucker at the Corbett School District and was hired in 2021 as a head cook. Megan and Chris bought a home in Troutdale in 2008 and eventually decided to make Corbett their home, purchasing Corbett Grade School principal, Michelle Dawkin's home! Chris and Megan have two children, Ethan (born in 2007) and Eleanor (born in 2010). They both attend school in Corbett where their mom has been a teacher for 18 years, teaching K-1. Chris and his family love to cook together and be active in the great outdoors. Chris says they are a cat family, with four cats, which all get lots of love and attention! The new position for Chris at the high school has given him the opportunity to inspire, challenge, and instruct the students in ways he is passionate about. He looks to encourage them to one day be good cooks and employees, wherever life may take them!</p></div></div><div class="clear-both" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5);

One of the "extra" buses will eventually have all seats pulled out and be used as a moving van to transport items to the new Corbett Middle School on Woodard Road. Todd will work with a few high school students on how to prep an old bus for recycling.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Todd was born in North Portland and is the fourth of five children born to his parents who were married for 55 years. His mom passed away two years ago and his dad is retired from Boeing and now lives in Fairview. All of his siblings live locally except his sister who just moved to Georgia. Todd grew up near both sets of grandparents and they were a strong support to his family in many ways. As a youth, his family moved several times but always stayed in the Portland area. Both his grandfathers had a strong work ethic and shared that with Todd when he was able to work at different times with each of them. Todd's father also had a very strong work ethic. As a kid, Todd was a bit of a rascal but was motivated to work hard and graduate from high school. In the middle of Todd's sophomore year, his family moved to Corbett, which was closer to Boeing, and gave his mom the country life she always wanted. In 1994, the family made the move to Corbett, staying 3 years. Todd graduated from Corbett High and was named Prom King and his girlfriend, Carrie Evans was the Prom Queen. They ended up dating for six years and then married. After graduation, Todd worked at Multnomah Falls at the espresso cart. One day while splitting wood with a friend, he was offered a new job as a shop gopher at Evergreen Waste Systems, located in Washougal. It later was bought out and became Waste Connections. While working there, Todd decided to go back to school and further his education for future job opportunities. He attended Mt Hood Community College and then transferred to Portland State Univ. to complete his bachelor's degree in psychology in 2006. He then went on to earn his master's degree from Pacific University in 2008. He majored in counseling psychology with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioral therapy with an emphasis on children and adolescents. He continued to work the entire time he attended school! Todd said his wife Carrie was his "solid rock of support" that helped get him through. Todd and Carrie started their family once he completed all of his schooling. They have two children, both attending Corbett, and Carrie also works for Corbett School District. Sayvin is 14 years old and a freshman who enjoys both soccer and electronics. Evanly is 11 years old and is a social butterfly who just loves people. After completing his master's degree, Todd worked as both a counselor and a mechanic simultaneously for nearly two years and it was simply too much to carry both jobs. The best choice for his family at the time was to choose his job as a mechanic. He worked from 1998 until present as a heavy equipment mechanic. Dorthy Hayden let him know in 2016 that Allan Greathouse, the previous Transportation Director for Corbett, was about to retire. It seemed like a great opportunity since Todd had recently become certified with Western Bus Sales to inspect Oregon school buses. Todd was hired and really enjoys his job with the district because he gets to use his mechanical skills as well as his many years of schooling to learn how to best work with kids and their families. He also conveniently lives just down the road from the bus garage!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wXpXWCpdp0afDxcsoUkcM4pj6hwfXmzc4k1u_2Lqbj5-QnTou-WPlpxj6lmgXq6fqj-AYs3uX-QbdHYJoFw76DdJVZmsOUQLZXyaIOg7AASY4lBLmb4dVZpP_yruq6kZh-SPkTSxjpItdAqHAQpzpRB_pTx4moAd7gcfwZVKH9vhLBqOElv7lWjky9CE/s640/Todd%20Williams.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Her parents are celebrating 40 years of marriage this year! Erica is very proud of her Dominican heritage as well as being born and raised in New York City. Erica is bi-lingual, having been raised alongside her Spanish-speaking grandparents. As a child, she attended a charter school from K-8th grade in NYC and then attended and graduated from the all-girls Catholic high school, The Mary Louis Academy in NYC. Growing up, she was involved in a variety of sports that included basketball, ballet, and karate. She also played the piano and violin. Erica describes her younger self as being a bit sassy and inquisitive, questioning everything! She says she has always had a deep care and concern for justice, fairness, and equity. She continues to have a deep care and commitment to community. Erica's father works in the auto industry and her mom is a teacher. Growing up, her parents felt it was important to visit the Dominican Republic every year to visit extended family as well as travel internationally and in the US to experience different cultures, food, and history. Erica loved the opportunity to experience so many different ways of life as a result of travel. For college, Erica attended Siena College in Loudonville, New York all four years and was the captain of the Step Dance Team while there. Erica majored in Social Work and minored in Psychology. Although Erica met her husband Austin while in college, they did not begin dating until graduation day! They dated for two years, became engaged, and were married on October 11, 2019. Austin works for Adidias and they were transferred to Portland in Dec. 2021. Erica worked in child welfare when in NYC after college and when she moved to Portland with Austin and their dog Turbo, she began working for Albertina Kerr Outpatient Clinic. While at Albertina Kerr, Erica found out about a job opportunity in Corbett, applied, and was hired. She feels thankful that everything worked out for her to be in the Corbett community. She said she can see and appreciate the value that folks have for their pioneer heritage and is excited to learn more about Corbett's history and pioneer families. Erica wants to be a support for all of the kids in the Corbett School District, bringing her experience and knowledge to best serve the kids in her care. She is here to learn and grow and says that best happens when there can be an exchange of experiences<span style="font-size: 1.5em;">.</span></p></div>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-91365385007865549932023-09-13T09:56:00.006-07:002023-09-13T09:56:40.982-07:00Catherine Arndt, Corbett 2nd/3rd Grade Teacher<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZg9NWU4TDjFThG89W0wkowdsmdB7V78upC9qQZ99Vu5Pu9xKSxJg8BayuU7WsUGHaYLlcNnQkfj7aF-ygKwwsWq1ltaQnJh5g6rWSICLHN4yNwCvJ8W6ob-4jv2GIYpP2bbhpAMSsxyH7q5BV0JNcknz4oDiHKJOVUtwVgND5UzAk9fsryhfBtND5IVU7/s640/Catherine%20Arndt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZg9NWU4TDjFThG89W0wkowdsmdB7V78upC9qQZ99Vu5Pu9xKSxJg8BayuU7WsUGHaYLlcNnQkfj7aF-ygKwwsWq1ltaQnJh5g6rWSICLHN4yNwCvJ8W6ob-4jv2GIYpP2bbhpAMSsxyH7q5BV0JNcknz4oDiHKJOVUtwVgND5UzAk9fsryhfBtND5IVU7/s320/Catherine%20Arndt.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><h2 class="theme-p-title theme-color3" data-clicktarget="#" data-target="title" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-text-opacity: 1; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: sm_futura-nn, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 5px 0px 10px;">Catherine Arndt: 2nd/3rd grade teacher</h2><div class="theme-p theme-color-4" data-target="content" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Roboto, "Lucida Grande", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.55; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px 0px 12px;">Interview by Michelle Smith<p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Corbett's 2nd/3rd grade teacher, Catherine Arndt is "homegrown!" Born in Portland, Oregon and adopted at birth, Catherine Arndt lived in Canby until age two. She joined a sister, seven years older, also adopted at birth. Catherine moved to Corbett with her mom and sister when her parents divorced. Catherine's dad later remarried and she has a half-brother who is four years younger. Catherine is pleased to say that she attended school in Corbett from kindergarten through her senior year, graduating in 2010. As a youngster, Catherine was always busy! Growing up on property, she also played both school and club sports, with her mom being one of her biggest fans and strongest supporters. Catherine played basketball, volleyball and softball, but says that volleyball was always her favorite. During Catherine's senior year, she blew out her knee and then never played volleyball again. But, she came back to coach volleyball at Corbett in 2015-16, which she loved! After graduation, Catherine attended Mt. Hood Community College for one year. She then moved to Oklahoma for a relationship and found work as a corrections officer. When the relationship did not work out, she stayed in Oklahoma and met her current husband through mutual friends. Zac Arndt was in the Army when they met, and after dating a short time, got married in Arkansas. In 2014, Zac had completed his time in the Army, so they moved to Oregon. Soon after moving, Catherine became pregnant. Easton was born at 27 weeks and was in the hospital for 77 days due to his birth weight being just 1.7 pounds. At this time they were living with Catherine's mom and Catherine became Easton's full-time caregiver when he came home from the hospital. When Easton was two years old, Catherine went back to school and earned her bachelor's degree in social work from Portland State University. During her schooling, Catherine also worked as an educational assistant at the Corbett Grade School and worked as an intern as a social worker in the Reynolds School District. Catherine graduated in 2020, near the start of the pandemic. Catherine then began working for the Corbett School District, willing and able to help out in any capacity needed. She ended up running the online learning program for several students who did not return to the classroom in 2021. In the fall of 2022, she was hired as a temporary substitute to cover for a teacher on leave, and it turned into a permanent position. Catherine is now enjoying having her own classroom, teaching both 2nd and 3rd graders. Catherine has a passion for reading and loves to share that passion with her students. Currently, Catherine is attending Western Governors University online to earn her master's degree in elementary education. Her initial desire to go into the field of social work changed once she got into a classroom setting. She is thrilled to have found a career that brings so much joy and allows her to be in the community in which she was raised. Easton is now in the 3rd grade at Corbett and Zac works for Tillamook County Creamery, Assoc., working from home in Corbett. As a family, they love living in Corbett with all of the nature that it offers. They also love to golf, and it is a family affair, with all three enjoying the activity! They also enjoy camping and being active outdoors.</p></div>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-69507865897365909052023-09-13T09:46:00.001-07:002023-09-13T09:46:23.076-07:00Brian Lutes, Principal of Corbett Middle School<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

There will be a new principal in place and there will be a new campus location for students! Brian Lutes will be taking on the role of new principal at the middle school, and the students will be attending classes at the new campus located on Woodard Road in January 2024, if all things go as planned.</p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(0,199,218,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Brian was born in Topeka, Kansas, and lived there for the first two and a half years of his life. After moving to Eugene for six years, the family moved to Tigard, where he graduated high school. Brian's dad is retired as a Multnomah County conservation consultant and his mom taught middle and high school science for 30 years before retiring. Brian has one younger brother and remembers them both spending many hours at school growing up, both attending class as well as playing sports. Brian was involved with both track and football growing up and is still a huge football fan today. His dad is from Indiana, so many in the family are big Notre Dame fans. Just like in his childhood, Brian spends many hours at school today and loves the positive environment. As a child, Brian always knew he wanted to pursue something in public service. After high school, Brian attended Portland State Univ. and realized that it was not a good fit for him. He returned to school at Western Oregon Univ. and graduated with a degree in Education. He really appreciated the small-town feel of the college and knew that is what he wanted for a teaching location. In 2003, Brian was hired as a 5th/6th-grade teacher at Corbett Grade School, replacing Larry Swanson. Larry was Brian's 5th-grade teacher when he was a student in Tigard! Brian immediately fell in love with the small community of Corbett and the tight-knit community at the school. He loved having students for more than one year with multi-level education. He feels it builds relationships and allows the teachers to connect with both the students and also their families. Brian was hired the same year as Pete Leone and Rhiannon Young who are still teaching at the middle school. Brian taught at the grade school for six years and then the district moved the 6th graders to the middle school. Brian followed the students and became a Corbett Middle School teacher. Brian is a huge advocate for Outdoor School and has attended for 20 years with his students. This past year, his last year to take part, he was able to attend with his twin daughters! Brian will begin the 2023 school year as the new Corbett Middle School Principal and Intervention Specialist. As long as timelines stay true, the students and staff at the Corbett Middle School will be moving to the new Woodard Road location after winter break, beginning January 8, 2024. There will be five classroom teachers for the 7th and 8th grades, with the 6th graders now back at the grade school. Brian has enjoyed being on the main campus for 20 years. He will miss the community feel of that, but the silver lining of having middle schoolers on their own campus is they will now enjoy the freedom of "being themselves" on a middle school campus. In 2007, Brian met his wife Audrey on a camping trip on the Clackamas River. They married on 08-08-08! In April 2011 they welcomed twin daughters Annika and Jocelyn. The family purchased a home in the Corbett School District just before the girls started kindergarten so they could start in Corbett. They are still living in the same home and love being a part of the community. Brian has enjoyed being involved as both a track and football coach for middle schoolers as well as teaching. With an earned Master's degree in curriculum and instruction from PSU, he is currently working on his principal licensure through the University of Oregon. Brian is looking forward to working with a group of hard-working and very experienced and passionate teachers to make a wonderful place for Corbett Middle School students to attend school!</p></div></div></div>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-91081104435947584732023-06-08T08:08:00.001-07:002023-11-06T03:04:08.242-08:00CAPS Learning Specialist, Jackie Ritchey<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiDy977w-meVdKXr5Fdai6j8--d5oYBUwezfoqPdS4rDcL3W2QZw_NmbcOAs92lafuRKGp844k1lV6Ntxl_9DO1RhObQWIJ0elO9pNSAIDd0xlruk6JvtMjmF-mdrOrric1b-J5pAi88qwVHlXa_EMP5bHejES1xtL-eTUnNRuC8wVqCZnWNVGYmCX8g/s1400/Jackie.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Roboto, "Lucida Grande", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">Clackamas, Oregon was considerably more rural in 1983 when Jackie was born. Her parents and eight-year-old sister were present to welcome her arrival and she had three half-siblings in Illinois. From an early age, there were two sure things about Jackie. No matter the weather, she loved to be outdoors as much as possible to both play and explore. Jackie's mom was a previous soccer player and introduced her to the sport. Jackie played from 1st to 9th grade and her mom coached her for some of that time. Jackie also knew she wanted to be a teacher. Several teachers in the North Clackamas School District had made a positive impact on her and were strong role models. When Jackie was 13, her parents divorced and she became what she describes as a "latchkey kid." She lived with each of her parents part-time. By the time she entered high school, she was making poor choices and her teachers and parents stepped in to offer guidance. They suggested Sabin Skills Center as an option for her to learn job skills and take child development classes while still attending Clackamas High School. This was an ideal situation for Jackie as she realized it was a natural fit for her and she had a passion for the child development classes. Jackie says this program is what helped get her to graduation. After graduating from Clackamas High in 2001, Jackie continued working at a daycare, now full-time. College was intimidating because of the expense. In 2004, Jackie came to realize that Portland Community College had a program that was affiliated with Portland State University and could enable her to earn an Oregon Transfer Degree (OTD). Jackie began taking classes at PCC and in 2010, transferred to PSU as a junior. She graduated in 2013 from PSU with a degree in Early Childhood Education. Jackie's husband Rob was a huge support during this time. They had met in 2004 and married in 2008. Both her husband and her father share the same first and middle names of Robert Louis! Jackie's first teaching job out of college was as an Educational Assistant in a SPED, self-contained classroom in West Linn. Just after getting hired, she very unexpectedly became pregnant with their first child! Colton will be 10 years old in June. Marlee is six years old and Casen is two. In 2018 they lost their daughter, Ava. Jackie enrolled at Concordia University in 2017 to earn her graduate degree and teaching license, graduating in 2018. At this time, Jackie left her job in West Linn and began subbing in the Oregon Trail School District. After two years of being a substitute teacher, Sandy Grade School asked her to become a 3rd grade long-term sub while the teacher was on maternity leave. This was Jackie's first time to have her own classroom! The following year she expanded her horizons to include the Gresham-Barlow and Corbett School District as places she would be available to sub. In 2019 she progressed from subbing to working full-time as an Educational Assistant at Corbett for a year. This was both rewarding and enlightening for Jackie and she wanted to become a classroom teacher. In 2022, she interviewed for a few teaching positions and was not hired. The first week of school, she was offered a position as a Learning Specialist at CAPS that had just opened up. She now has a classroom without a class! She is a Special Education teacher who has a case load of 22 students. Being in the Corbett School District has been a good fit for Jackie as she loves the small community, being able to get to know both the staff and the students. She keeps a notebook of "good happenings'' where she logs on a regular basis all of the positives in her job. She loves to reflect on it as a reminder of all the good she is able to experience. Jackie has worked as a volunteer at the Corbett Grange's Helping Hands program the last two years. She is now a lead on Saturdays and enjoys being able to work with others for a greater good. Family is important to Jackie and she loves being with them on their property where they have two horses, three goats and more chickens than they can count! Husband Rob is a baseball and wrestling coach for the Gresham-Barlow School District and their son Colton is already succeeding at both sports. Marlee plays baseball and does ballet. Casen, their 2nd son, is the cheerleader! Jackie's father lives on the property with them and loves to be a part of their lives and activities.</span><img border="0" data-original-height="1400" data-original-width="1187" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiDy977w-meVdKXr5Fdai6j8--d5oYBUwezfoqPdS4rDcL3W2QZw_NmbcOAs92lafuRKGp844k1lV6Ntxl_9DO1RhObQWIJ0elO9pNSAIDd0xlruk6JvtMjmF-mdrOrric1b-J5pAi88qwVHlXa_EMP5bHejES1xtL-eTUnNRuC8wVqCZnWNVGYmCX8g/s320/Jackie.jpeg" width="271" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-33210050492943382892023-05-01T21:39:00.002-07:002023-11-06T03:03:52.373-08:00New Campus Monitor and Varsity Baseball Coach, Rob Peterson<p> <span style="background-color: white; color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUmvmR0c2rNf5tY8KJM4E2-YcugPY7yyLvqk4FVVMREPyrgAMFLvQWRRdvzxM9p4X2zczHZT-p1g8zWKL-aSi5F7vAVjHlsqGLCh40a47B_TtMqFp8Jh9zTeIEHqYBz_aGC5KYEIXgIs__TpM-SuyWd4qNVSZkUDYSzLHdqQBiGK5x_6qbGKnLoytog/s640/Rob.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUUmvmR0c2rNf5tY8KJM4E2-YcugPY7yyLvqk4FVVMREPyrgAMFLvQWRRdvzxM9p4X2zczHZT-p1g8zWKL-aSi5F7vAVjHlsqGLCh40a47B_TtMqFp8Jh9zTeIEHqYBz_aGC5KYEIXgIs__TpM-SuyWd4qNVSZkUDYSzLHdqQBiGK5x_6qbGKnLoytog/s320/Rob.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />Rob Peterson is Portland born and raised. With two older brothers, Roger and Billy, Rob grew up in a multi-generational home with his grandparents, parents and siblings. He helped care for his grandfather who had polio and was close to both of his grandparents. Sports were always important to Rob and he played both basketball and baseball throughout his youth. Rob's father was the shop foreman for Hannah Industries for 21 years. He later became a Portland Public Schools custodian until retiring. His mom was a stay-at-home mom until Rob was 15. She then went to work for TriMet and now works for SAM, the public transportation system connecting Gresham to Sandy. Rob's parents ended their marriage when he was 17 and it was a pivotal point in his life. He could either move forward with bad feelings or choose to see the days ahead as an opportunity for better. He remembers making the decision to move forward with the very best of intentions.</span><p></p><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After his high school graduation, he experienced a major setback. Rob was playing American Legion Baseball and tore the ulnar nerve in his pitching elbow. Surgery was not an option due to the cost, so he had to let the injury heal on its own. This ended his hopes of continuing with baseball. He attended one year of college at Mt Hood Community College, studying Communications, then entered the work force.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rob and his wife Michael Gene (MG) met in the 6th grade on the playground and began dating in June 2006. Their only child Carter was born in 2009 and they married in 2011. In 2014, Rob was in a serious car accident which resulted in living with constant shoulder pain for six years. After numerous doctor consultations, Rob had his entire shoulder rebuilt. MG has always been a force for the good in Rob's life as his best support and cheerleader.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">After his year in college, he worked at Home Depot for three years and then went to Parr Lumber for three years. Rob went to work for Cox Enterprises, working as an appraiser for Cox Automotive for two years and then Covid hit and he was laid off. In 2022 he was approached by the previous head coach of the Corbett Varsity Boy's Baseball team to be an assistant coach and JV head coach. Rob was hired and then eventually took over the position as the Varsity Baseball head coach as well as continuing as the JV coach AND the new Campus Monitor!</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Rob walks all of the campuses on a regular basis, keeping an eye out for safety and building relationships with the staff and students. He is a definite enforcer of the school's guidelines and policies. Because of Rob's experiences with life and challenges, he views his time with the athletes on his teams and the students on campus as an amazing opportunity. He feels life should be viewed as the same. Life is not always easy, but if one takes responsibility, it can help in life to be better people in general.</span></span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" style="color: var(--primary-text); font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">The varsity baseball team was 0-26 last year and so far they are now 2-1 and hope to build on the early success. Each student athlete signs a four page contract before starting the season. The contract spells out how to be in the classroom, succeeding as a student and how to also be a role model for others in the community. Rob is thrilled with the opportunities at Corbett and looks forward to many years ahead.</span></span></div>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-86380352079145063902023-04-06T16:42:00.005-07:002023-11-06T03:03:28.823-08:00New Corbett High School Science Teacher, Julie Trisel<h5 class="x1heor9g x1qlqyl8 x1pd3egz x1a2a7pz xyorhqc xtvhhri" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen x1xlr1w8 xi81zsa" color="var(--secondary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX39FRK9hDgR9JL1Od6eFFnp6zZOaNuSpq0NOrio0-10L_FkcGyAwIBdOAtPAwIOC2ASOOzyDjsz2iCo73QTA00ecqQCNaNOO-gzYLQAfwdRbA_ENwmGvc-PT4FYB2aHdfo2in6Ck_HNnd_WcDO-Yp7pASbCv3hDfpeQ1oAHC8m5ihGzPkzxpYxTVugg/s640/Julie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX39FRK9hDgR9JL1Od6eFFnp6zZOaNuSpq0NOrio0-10L_FkcGyAwIBdOAtPAwIOC2ASOOzyDjsz2iCo73QTA00ecqQCNaNOO-gzYLQAfwdRbA_ENwmGvc-PT4FYB2aHdfo2in6Ck_HNnd_WcDO-Yp7pASbCv3hDfpeQ1oAHC8m5ihGzPkzxpYxTVugg/s320/Julie.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />JULIE TRISEL: HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHER</span></h5><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Interview by Michelle Carter Smith</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">The new science teacher at Corbett High School was raised in Portland and has lived in Oregon her entire life. Julie Trisel is the only child of parents who raised her on the west side of Portland. Julie's now retired father worked for Standard Insurance and her mom worked for First Tech Credit Union. As a child, Julie enjoyed both dance and gymnastics and was self-taught with the guitar. Her fondest memories are spending time with her maternal grandparents in Ariel, Washington. During the summers and many holidays, she would spend time in the great outdoors in the little community that housed all of the Ariel Dam employees. Her grandfather worked at the Ariel Dam and both grandparents taught her all about nature, the great outdoors and many life lessons. Julie spent many hours with her grandmother as there were not any children her age in the community. This is where Julie became fascinated with the possibility of one day becoming a science teacher.</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">During her junior year in high school, Julie was given an amazing opportunity by her biology teacher, Mr. Robert Clarno. He connected Julie with a grad student at Portland State University that led to her earning first place her senior year in the microbiology category at the Oregon State Science and Engineering Expo! This was another turning point for Julie, further cementing her interest in science. Julie graduated from Sunset High School in 2000 and went to work for Meier and Frank in downtown Portland. She later moved to Nordstrom, working in the cosmetics department. Julie had always wanted to attend college and in 2006, decided to make it her reality. While still working, she started at Portland Community College. She later transferred to Portland State University and graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology.</span></div><div class="x1e56ztr" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18.75px; margin-bottom: 8px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u" color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Along the way, she also took numerous classes focused on education and worked in Ballhorn Science Lab, publishing three journal articles as a co-author. Once she completed her undergraduate degree, Julie went on to attend Concordia University, graduating with her Master's degree in Secondary Education. The entire time Julie was in graduate school, she continued to work full-time at Nordstrom as a manager! After graduation, Julie was hired at Gresham High School in 2014 as a science teacher. Corbett's own Kathy Childress was a mentor for several years and was later the one that let Julie know there was an opening at Corbett High School. Julie was hired at Corbett in August 2022.</span></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span color="var(--primary-text)" style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem;">Julie is really enjoying her first year in Corbett for several reasons. Because of her summers in rural Ariel, she has a great appreciation for Corbett being a small rural community. She also appreciates getting to know the students and staff on a more personal level due to the small size of the school. Her hope is to encourage and inspire the students to engage as they learn more about science. Julie is able to bring her son who is in kindergarten to Corbett with her and that is a real bonus! She and her husband live in SE Portland with their son and they enjoy creating and playing music in the evenings and on weekends. </span></p>Michelle Carter Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15392324508295034679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776192031512744345.post-55973665297062550372023-03-11T09:46:00.002-08:002023-08-03T10:16:43.084-07:00New Corbett School District Superintendent<p> <span color="var(--primary-text)" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Interview by Michelle Carter Smith for Corbett School Newsletter</span></p><div style="font-family: inherit;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1swvt13 x1l90r2v" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id="jsc_c_7u" style="font-family: inherit; padding: 4px 16px 16px;"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u" style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: -5px; margin-top: -5px;"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b" style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs x1xmvt09 x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" color="var(--primary-text)" dir="auto" style="display: block; font-family: inherit; font-size: 0.9375rem; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">The new Corbett Superintendent, Dr. Derek Fialkiewicz, hails from Buffalo, New York. He was born in Buffalo and was adopted at the age of 18 months. Derek was an only child to his parents. His dad was a math teacher for 35 years and Derek wanted to be just like him. His mom worked with Key Bank for over 40 years, and his stepfather is a semi-retired electrician. All three parents who raised him are still living <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a style="color: #385898; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit;" tabindex="-1"></a></span>and close friends. During his childhood, Derek loved to play sports. During high school, he played basketball and lettered in track and cross country. College was always "the next step" and so that was his focus. Derek mom did not attend college; his dad has a master's degree in math and his stepdad has an associate's degree in engineering. Derek chose Fredonia State University on the basis of being a strong teacher prep school as well as having a championship track program. Derek lettered in three sports (cross country, indoor track and outdoor track) and was a three-time state champion in track while attending FSU. He credits the success to his competitive nature and love of running, which are still with him today. While student teaching in Western New York, Derek decided to move to the warmer climate after he stepped into an icy cold puddle while getting into his car. After graduation he moved to Las Vegas at the advice of a friend. Derek was hired as a math and computer science teacher at Green Valley High School in Las Vegas where he also coached track and cross country. It was during this time that he met and married his first wife, and they had two sons, Marek and Colin. Derek met his current wife, Kelly, at a math conference in Sparks, Nevada. They married in 2011, adding her kids, Katie, Michael, and Angelina to the combined family. After teaching math and computer science for 10 years, Derek transitioned to professional development, helping other math teachers, for two years. He then had an opportunity to become Dean of Students at Bonanza High School for 3.5 years. He loved that job because it provided the opportunity for him to positively impact the students who needed him most. Derek then became the assistant principal at Cram Middle School in North Las Vegas. Derek stayed for five years. In that time he was named Nevada's Assistant Principal of the Year as well as a top three finalist for the National Assistant Principal of the Year in 2017. Soon after receiving this award, Derek was hired as principal of Lied Middle School. He was there for five years and during that time converted it into a STEM magnet school, Lied STEM Academy. He led its transition into one of the top rated middle schools in Nevada. In 2022, Derek was named Magnet Principal of the Year for the Western Region of the US. It was while he was at Lied STEM Academy that he was able, after 10 years of work, to complete his doctorate degree in mathematics education from UNLV.</div></div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="font-family: inherit; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">Why Corbett? Derek and Kelly honeymooned in Lincoln City in 2011. They both fell in love with the area and said aloud that they would love to one day live in Oregon. They came back in 2021 and still felt the same desire to move to Oregon and specifically, the Portland area. When the job position for superintendent was posted for Corbett, the research of the area, the school, and the community began. Derek and Kelly both felt it was a perfect fit. Corbett was the only school district that Derek applied to. At the in-person interview, Derek said he felt very comfortable and thought the Corbett community was very similar to his childhood days growing up in a small town outside of Buffalo. Derek and Kelly both plan to retire in Corbett in ten years. They purchased a home in the community and Kelly was hired as the principal at Camas High School. Six months ago they welcomed their first grandson, Jackson. They continue working on their home and property to warmly welcome all of their visiting adult kids and extended family. They both attend Corbett Community Church and are members of the Columbia Grange. Derek volunteers with Helping Hands at the Grange, attends monthly NEMCCA meetings at the Corbett Fire Hall, and is helping plan the Corbett July 4th Parade and Fun Fest. They are both big sports fans, closely following the Buffalo Bills and the Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey team. Derek feels that there continue to be great days ahead for the Corbett School District. He wants each student to leave high school graduation with as many options as possible. Whether a student chooses college, the military, or a career path, he wants each student to also have a second language mastered and have a musical background. He greatly enjoys talking with both students and parents and has an open-door policy. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUdpADVbShrt3XAIZyR0IZ5E0fZ4mluOCqvMd-JNTnMdk-61fwHW_1hkyhc5duTvME_-YM40LgDlLJYe_IjldXib_WKUQ5OvEj72jYvQ7fsXZLh-bOIyk76XnB0VklwWRG8SH2CcfCI-Q0NTBpMlrEYI3mN4WTVzEiYcSF8_Q6ka21lo9Nj8RWb1MlP1dp/s400/D.%20Fialkiewicz%20Blog%20Post.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

font-size: large;">Gandy Legal Services</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: times;">Rebecca Gandy is a solo practicing attorney here in Corbett. She focuses mainly on estate planning (Wills and trusts to manage assets during lifetime and, whether through probate or other informal types of Estate administration, when a person dies.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">Rebecca also practices elder law which involves more complex incapacity planning, helps people plan for long-term care costs, and if necessary secures guardianships and conservatorships.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="color: #222222;">She is excited to announce that she has completed the accreditation process to be able to assist veterans and surviving spouses and children of veterans with attaining VA benefits. More about that soon.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: times;">If you would like to learn more about estate planning, please plan to attend Rebecca's one hour free estate planning webinar on May 26, 2022 with Sid Louis of Edward Jones in Wood Village. See flyer below for more details. Rebecca hopes to see you there!</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: arial;">Rebecca C.

My name is Steven Young and I started CLEAR FINISH because I felt that there shouldn’t be a “minimum” for getting your windows cleaned. I didn’t believe in “quantity over quality”. And ultimately, I wanted to be able to make my own schedule, spend more time with my family and pioneer. </span></span></p><p><span><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have extensive knowledge involving roof and siding SOFTWASHING, window cleaning, gutter cleaning and dryer vent cleaning. Yet I believe more in using that knowledge in working with the “little guys”. Being in a corporate cleaning world was just not my bucket of window wash! </span></span></p><p><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">So here I am along with my wife Summer Young and together we are going to make the world a cleaner place, one window at a time. Well, maybe not the world but at least our local neighborhoods and corner markets. We started from scratch and look forward to meeting new people, new friends, new customers, new venders and new experiences along the way. </span></p><p><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Call or email us for a free estimate!

Conceived in 2016 by Ginger and Kevin Bates with partner Bruce Turner, Bates Lavender Farm was envisioned to be a beautiful and peaceful spot to pick lavender or just sit and relax.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times;">The Bates' Farm has been a part of the Corbett community since 1888 when Kevin's Great Grandfather, Sutliff Bates, purchased and began clearing the property with his son-in-law Grant Bell. The first winter they lived in a tent. Great Grandma Orilla came out when Grandpa Harley was a year old and moved into the home in 1890. Grandpa Harley, farmed cabbage, cucumbers and had beautiful gardens. Kevin and Ginger purchased the farm in 2003 from Ron and Molly Bates, Kevin’s parents.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: times;">Bates Lavender Farm opens mid June every year but products can also be purchased year-round at </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: arial;"><b><a href="https://www.bateslavender.com/">bateslavender.com</a></b></span><span style="font-family: times;">.

<i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Life at the end of the Rainbow: Matthew & Marnie Conti</span></i><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">We have been fortunate to make our home in Corbett since 2012. We were drawn to the natural beauty of life along the river and the opportunity for our 3 children to have a solid education. We have been CAPS parents including all the great music, language, and travel opportunities as well as a CHAMPS family all the way through the senior night and beyond. Making the move to Corbett has been a blessing for us and we continue to build strong relationships within the community.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">My financial planning practice went independent in 2014 after 17 years with Fidelity Investments Private Client Group in Portland. Over the last 6 years, I have continued to expand my business primarily through client referrals. Now, I focus my efforts on helping families with more complex estates as well as helping people make the most of their retirement years while ensuring their legacy intentions are met. As an independent fee-based advisor working through <u>Cross Financial Advisors LLC</u>, I have the benefit of having LPL’s massive resources at my fingertips, while acting as a fiduciary for my clients, which is just a fancy way of saying <b>I ALWAYS have your best interests at heart</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">We have all learned a lot about what is important since the pandemic started, and there have been sweeping changes coming from Washington D.C. that have changed the financial world around us. <i>The question is, have you kept up?</i> If not, this is a great time to ask for help to better understand how you may benefit from the CARES ACT (No RMD’s this year), EIDL loans, the PPP for small businesses, and all the other historic moves being made around us. A little help goes a long way, especially in Corbett.</span></div>

Hi Corbett Community Neighbors,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.09px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.09px; padding: 0px;">
In February, when it's still windy and wet in our Corbett world, I go to my little greenhouse, affectionately known as Sara's Sanity Shack. I inventory my seeds, read my journal entries from years past to remind myself of what worked and what didn't, organize my flats and pots, and start shaking seeds into tiny containers and looking forward to sunnier days outside digging in the dirt.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.09px; padding: 0px;">
By mid-May, the greenhouse doors open and my plants are for sale. I generally don't have a huge inventory but definitely have much more than I need! My goal is to share what I love and make enough money to pay for my seeds and supplies. Plants range from $1.50 to Free.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.09px; padding: 0px;">
This year, with Covid-19 impacting our lives, my Sanity Shack Plant Sale will take extra precautions to keep everyone safe. Gates and doors will be open to avoid door handles, Sanitizer will be available, and Ordering ahead of time so that I can fill orders for pick up will be encouraged.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12.09px; padding: 0px;">
