Peter Leonard moved across the country in 1996 to become the Executive Director of the Cedar Mill Community Library. He had worked at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh and was the director of the Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania library.

John Russell never planned to be a farmer. A retired elementary school teacher from the Emerson School in Northwest Portland, he first set foot on a blueberry field because of love. He met Joan, a fellow teacher who owned the Bonny Slope Blueberries, and started visiting just to spend time with her. What began as visits turned into shared work, and soon, a shared life.

Saltzman Road is a main north-south artery of the Cedar Mill area. It was named for Peter Saltzmann who established a homestead near the crest of Skyline Ridge in 1893. By 1896, the road extended down the east side of the mountain to the river as well.

Oregon’s Property Tax Deferral Program would pay your taxes for you, if you qualify. It would give you spending money you would otherwise set aside to pay your taxes. Basically, the property tax program is a loan from the state until the home is sold or transferred to other owners.
