Ralph Martin Memorial
Ralph Martin Memorial
Many CHOA residents may have known Ralph Martin when he and his wife, Nona, lived on Fairway, just behind the F&G pool. For those of you who are fairly new to CHOA, Ralph was the former Landscape Chair for CHOA and, the story goes, was instrumental in planting the palm trees.
Ralph passed away several months ago and CHOA has placed a memorial stone in his memory by the gate at F&G pool.
Many thanks to Ty, John, and Ernesto of Garron Landscape for donating the site design, materials and labor to create this lasting memory.

New Traffic Flow Pattern I5 North
Within the last 3 days, ODOT changed the traffic flow for cars entering I5 North at route 551 (just South of the Charbonneau exit). If you are driving from Charbonneau and entering I5 North, please be aware that there are cars already in the lane that we used to have to ourselves as we merged onto I5 or went straight to the Wilsonville Road exit. Please be aware we need to yield to those cars already in the lane. Please see below the previous and current entrance to I5 North. Thank you
Crane Fly
“Last spring a decision was made not to treat for crane fly – not anticipating such an aggressive invasion.
In September, when we are sure all the larvae have hatched, Garron will begin thatching, seeding and fertilizing to restore our lawns.
Thanks for your patience as we work throughout the community. “

Water containment no longer in effect
The City of Wilsonville was able to replace the broken pump Thursday so there is now no restriction on water usage in Sherwood and Wilsonville. During the days that the two communities limited the demand, daily consumption dropped from an average of 10.4 million gallons per day to 8.4 million gallons per day. Thank you – Great work everyone!
Clarification on our irrigation system
We have received questions about why we are still watering the common areas. Those areas that fall outside of our court yards are not watered by the City of Wilsonville. The irrigation comes from the Willamette River and does not fall under the Wilsonville watering ban. Thank you.
Wilsonville Water usage for Irrigation
The City of Wilsonville has informed us that they have a water pump down and are asking residents not to use city water for irrigation until further notice. The water is fine for drinking, but they are asking that we try to cut down on usage while the pump is out. Please contact Steve Chinn at 503-682-0234 or the City’s webpage at https://www.ci.wilsonville.or.us/ for more information. Thank you.
