I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve once again as the board chair for the chamber. I love volunteering for this position because I have so much appreci-ation for the chamber and their efforts on behalf of this business community.

As I think about the key mes-sage going into 2017, I realize it’s the same one mentioned before. Support your local businesses! Please take the time and again think about what this could mean to you and your family. If every-one would commit to buying local from our businesses here in New-berg this year what a difference it would make to all.

When we talk about local, it is more than supporting only the downtown merchants; it is “ALL” the businesses listed in the Cham-ber Directory; members or not. If you don’t have a directory, you can find the listing on the cham-ber web site www.chehalemvalley.org or call the chamber office and ask for a recommendation. Take a moment before going out of town for purchases and see who you can patronize locally. There are so many resources to ask for recommendations that you can’t go wrong.

This community gets increased

“Happy 2017!”

Indulge at Oregon Truffle Festival in Newberg We’re excited to welcome the Oregon Truffle Festival back to Newberg January 20-22, 2017. This is the 12th year and truf-

fle enthusiasts come from all over the world to indulge in Oregon Truffles paired with our fantastic local wine, prepared by some of our most innovative chefs. It’s exciting to have so many visitors during our shoulder season. The weekend packages are bundled with amazing truffle experiences at a discounted price for the entire truffle culinary adven-ture. We, of course, are hoping that visitors will stay for a few days in our local lodging properties and spend money on wine, shopping, and fun activities while they are here.

For our local residents, there are a few à la carte tickets to the events, most of which are by advance purchase only. We hope you will attend one or more of these exciting events:

Truffles Deconstructed with Dave Arnold and Harold McGee, and 2 Michelin Star Chef Matt Lightner (Friday, January 20) held at Chehalem Cultural Center. Tickets are $95 in advance only; no tickets will be sold at the door. Learn everything you always wanted to know about truffles from leading experts. Included in the ticket price is a reception with outstanding wine from Dundee Hills Winegrower’s Association wineries and delicious small truffle bites.

Black and White Dinner Series (Saturday, January 21) includes restaurant and winemaker dinners at McMinnville restau-rants. Thistle is already SOLD OUT, but a few tickets are remaining for Barberry, Nick’s Italian Cafe, and Valley Commis-sary. No tickets are available at the door.

Fresh Truffle Marketplace (Sunday, January 22) is held at Chehalem Cultural Center. This is a truffle extravaganza of arti-san food products for purchase, along with wine tasting. Wander the market, sample, and stock up on hand-crafted gourmet products. Advance tickets are $25 with wine tasting, $15 without; tickets at the door $30 including wine tasting, $15 without wine.

For more information on events and to purchase tickets visit www.oregontrufflefestival.com.

Steps Up Internship ProgramEmployers Invited to Host Summer Interns

for Chehalem Valley Steps Up The Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce is committed to the development of a 21st-century workforce capable of

competing and leading in our global economy. We know that local businesses are the back-bone of our country’s economy. However, we also know that our local employers struggle to find the skilled employees needed to fill the jobs necessary to grow. One solution is the Chehalem Valley Steps Up program which is one of the components of the Chamber’s Workforce Development Plan. Today’s students and entry level workers lack “soft skills” or job experience when they show up for work. As an intern host, you become part of the solution by providing work opportunities for an inexperienced worker.

What is the Chehalem Valley Steps Up Internship Program?

The program is a 9-week paid summer internship from June 20 to August 12, 2017. The Internship should allow for four hours each week of Professional Development which include many of the “soft skills” that are missing in prospective em-ployees. The training is coordinated and delivered through the Chamber and their community partners. All you need to do is provide employment and mentoring to the interns during the 9-week program.

What is the benefi t to my business?• Having an intern allows you to accomplish much needed

projects that staff don’t have time to complete.• Your company can try-out and train an intern that could

turn into a long-term employee.• Interns are trained to produce ROI. Their focus is on

giving you a 3X ROI on your investment.• Allow your employees the opportunity to mentor a

future workforce.• Become part of the solution by providing an oppor-

tunity for young people to gain the skills they need to be successfully employed.

Which employers have participated?A-dec, ARE Manufacturing, Aspen Creek Landscaping,

Chehalem Parks & Recreation District, The Four Grac-es, The Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce, City of Newberg, Friendsview, Lewis Audio Video, Newberg Steel, Ushio, and Newberg Ford. The Chamber predicts the program will double in size in the coming years based on the interest by many additional businesses that asked to be considered as an intern site this year.

Where do the interns come from?Interns are recruited from all over the area, including area

high schools, George Fox University, PCC, Linfi eld College, Chemeketa Community College, OSU, U of O, and others. This means the program will have a large pool of applicants and the ability to select the best candidate based on the needs of the participating companies.

What is the cost to participate?The interns are paid by the host site at least minimum

wage for the duration of the 9-week program, which equals approximately $3,330 ($9.25 x 40 hours x 9 weeks) plus taxes (approximately $500). An additional fee of $150 for class materials for the professional development classes.

Applications for employer sites are now open and will close for the 2017 program by March 1, 2017. For more in-formation please contact Sheryl Kelsh by email at Sheryl@chehalemvalley.org.

GREETERS — FEBRUARY

Spotlight on Business

Behind the Scenes Tourism ActivitiesIt’s not a surprise that visitors to our area spend money on food, wine, lodging, and goods and services. This money fi lters down to

numerous other suppliers and supporting businesses. The Chehalem Valley Chamber works tirelessly to bring visitors to our area. Once they are here it is all of our jobs to offer them a memorable experience as they stay, shop, and dine in our community. Whether they are visiting from within the Willamette Valley, our state, or they got on a plane to get here, they all deserve a great experience.

One of the biggest things to happen to our region was the award of the #1 Wine Region in the World by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. We beat out Champagne, the region in France that has been making sparkling wine for centuries and owns the name Cham-pagne, as well as Sonoma, California. This is a really big deal and how we capitalize on this to bring attention to our destina-tion’s shops, restaurants, and experiences is a big opportunity.

The Chamber is part of Travel Oregon’s visitor center net-work. Our role is to promote the region to media and infl uenc-ers who portray our destination in the most positive light. We thought you might like to know some of the things we work on behind the scenes to increase our region’s visibility.

Host Media Tours – Last year we hosted over 30 domes-tic and international journalists who wrote over 40 print and online articles based on their time in the Chehalem Valley. This publicity is really valuable because it is fi rst-hand – someone wrote about an experience they had which makes it more credible than a paid advertisement. Readers can relate and want to experience it for themselves. Every month the chamber receives dozens of calls and visits to the visitor center because of an article someone read about our region.

Oregon Truffl e Festival – Newberg is hosting the Truffl e Festival from January 20-22, 2017. You can read more about the activities that you can participate in on Page 3. What is important to note is that the truffl e enthusiasts come from all

over the world to be here. While they are here, they spend money on lodging, shopping, and gifts. This brings dollars into our community. The Oregon Truffl e Festival in Newberg is a direct result of the work the Chehalem Valley Chamber does to recruit and partner on events that will attract overnight visitors to the area.

Farm Tour (in the works) – We have been asked by countless visitors about Farm Tours and we don’t have any in Yamhill Valley yet. Other areas have them: Hood River has the Fruit Loop, while Clackamas, Mollala, and Canby have Farm Loops. That gave us the idea to create a self-guided Farm Loop Tour. We are working with Oregon Farm Bureau and Yamhill Farm Bureau to identify farms to participate. Stay tuned for more information.

We all have a role to play in tourism to our area and we can all greet visitors warmly and provide suggestions of other things to see or do, so that they can experience how special Oregon and Yamhill Valley are. After all, if we didn’t love it, we wouldn’t live here.

Representative Bill PostOregon State Representative

900 Court St., Salem, OR 97301

Hours: Legislative sessions are from February to the beginning of July on odd years, and in February for 35 days on even years. In between there is lots of work to be done prepping for each session, participating in the community

and attending committee hearings.Contact Information:Phone: 503-986-1425

Email: postb@oregonlegislature.govWebsite: www.billpost.us, www.oregonlegislature.gov/post

I have served in the Legislature as your state representative for two years, and was just elected for another two-year term. Prior to legislative work, I have been in radio for over 30 years.

As your state representative, my goal has been to represent everyone in my district at the capitol. As you may know, I am in the minority party and while I do introduce bills that I feel will be helpful to you, most of the time my efforts are directed at stopping what I believe to be harmful legislation. I also try to ask the layman’s questions, whether in com-mittee or on the House Floor. I try to be the voice of the average Oregonian who may not understand the bureaucratic lingo, but who just wants state government to function well.

One of the most gratifying things I can do is to help a constituent get through to a de-partment where they have not been getting service. My staff and I are always ready to do what we can. Sometimes all it takes is knowing the right person to call to get a constituent connected with someone in government who can actually solve their issue.

People often think that I actually serve in Congress – I can’t tell you how many times people see me and ask “When did you get back from Washington, D.C.?” While national

news often dominates, what happens at the state level is what can really make your life easier or harder.

confi dence and independence.Describe your products/services:Lyda Financial strives to provide clients a level of confi dence in their investment

portfolios. We follow a disciplined approach in seeking to balance risk and return, and believe that educating clients enables them to make informed decisions. Clients can open traditional IRAs, ROTH IRAs, 529 education savings accounts, non-retirement investing

accounts etc. We also educate clients so they can choose between fee or commission-based accounts and hourly fee services. We also help employers with Simple IRA and SEP IRA plans for themselves and their employees. Securities offered through LPL Financial, Member FINRA/SIPC.How does your business stand out in the industry?Lyda Financial is a for-profi t business, but we strive to fulfi ll our community’s need like a non-profi t. We believe our work is a ministry.

We follow the golden rule, offer hope and inspire. We try always to be more interested in others than ourselves. We possess the heart of a servant, asking “what can I do to help?” We maintain a heart of a teacher by helping clients understand and learn with every discussion.

We have a unique passion for the fi nancial wellness of our community. We work hard to help families with budget coaching services as well as investment management. We help people answer diffi cult questions like “are we saving enough?” and “are we ready to retire?” We take to heart the investment fi duciary responsibility of looking out for every client’s best interest.

Do you have any stories to share about customer reactions to your services?Often we provide budget coaching. This work is always pro bono and usually very much appreciated. Sometimes people will ask how

they can pay us for the coaching we’ve provided them. When we ask them not to pay but instead suggest they pay it forward by sharing our teaching, or fi nd a charity to support with those dollars, they are usually shocked.

Are there any misconceptions about your work?According to an article from visualcapitalist.com, 87% of millennials “are confi dent to make investing decisions on their own”. But

60% of millennials “distrust fi nancial markets”, and 70% of millennials “hold their savings in cash”. This strategy coupled with low inter-est rates according to LPL Financial (MRR #1-542445) “is unlikely to produce the kind of wealth millennials will need to retire comfort-ably”.

We recognize that managing investments can be complicated and time-consuming. So we do everything we can to educate and build trust with millennials, and people of all ages, so they can understand more about investing and have hope for their retirement plans.

Chehalem Physical Therapy Celebrates 20th Anniversary!

Chehalem Physical Therapy has been serving Yamhill County for 20 years at their location just off 99W. They are the longest standing physical therapy clinic in Newberg, and have treated 12,000 patients in the clinic since 1996. Local owner Bud Herigstad earned his physical therapy degree and came back to work in his hometown. He wanted to give back in the community where he grew up. His goal was to provide professional physical therapy services in a relaxed atmosphere; one that supported therapists and gave patients a higher degree of care.

Bud’s clinic is known for excellence in physical therapy and treating orthopedic, sports, work, and motor vehicle injuries. They also offer Certifi ed Hand Therapy (Maria Tang, OTR/L, CHT is currently the only CHT in Yamhill County), as well as Certifi ed Lymphedema Therapy — another treatment rare in the county. They offer specials for high school athletes.

Their gym offers $20 monthly memberships for the public, and is a participating location for Silver&Fit® and SilverSneak-ers®. Additionally, their location hosts Dr. Paul Weaver’s practice, Dulcimer Osteopathic.

Bud and his staff wish to thank the community for their support and trust over the years. They deeply value the relation-ships they have with their patients and referring physicians.
