Aurora Airport expansion

W
hen Gary Newbore
moved to Charbon-
neau a year and a half
ago with his wife,
Ellen, he wanted to volunteer
somewhere meaningful.
The Charbonneau Country Club
Board was a place he felt he could
have an impact and “seemed to fit
the bill.”
“There’s a lot of issues in front of
the board right now that hopefully I
can help resolve,” Newbore said.
Newbore replaced Kamran Mesbah,
whose term expires in 2020, on the
CCC Board. Newbore plans to tackle
what he sees as key issues: the Auro-
ra Airport and Charbonneau Golf
Course.
“The big one that could have a real
negative impact on the quality of life
here is the airport expansion. I hope
we can stop that dead in its tracks,”
Newbore said. “Of course the other
two biggies which are cost items are
the new clubhouse and the potential
merger of CCC and CGC.”
Newbore spent 14 years managing
a hazardous waste remediation con-
struction company, where the com-
pany cleaned up scores of superfund
sites and military bases. He also
managed divisions of nationwide en-
gineering companies.
“I’ve bid several construction and
engineering jobs, I’ve negotiated sev-
eral engineering and construction
contracts and I’ve managed several
engineering and construction proj-
ects, all of which I think would be
helpful in working with the new club-
house,” Newbore said.
When the Annex is torn down at
the end of the year, an additional ac-
tivities center will be built in that ar-
ea to service more residents and ac-
tivities at the CCC.
Newbore moved to Charbonneau
after living in West Linn for 41 years

— his two children still reside in
West Linn.
Newbore moved to Charbonneau
because he enjoyed the beauty of the
area and wanted to improve his so-
cial life.
“With the clubhouse here and the
social activities it provided, it seemed
like a good community to do that in,”
Newbore said. “And thirdly, at some
point in our life, probably either my
wife or I — probably me — will need
the services of SpringRidge and it’s
right on the grounds here.”
Newbore retired in 2007 from URS
Corporation, a nationwide engineer-
ing company, and said he is excited
to have the opportunity to become
more involved with the Charbonneau
community and resolve issues that
have been talked about for the last
20 years.
Though Newbore is not currently
involved with any clubs at the CCC,
he occasionally plays Pitch and Du-
plicate Bridge with Charbonneau
residents, and plans to play more
golf next year.
“I look forward to serving the com-
munity,” Newbore said.
all those things that
make this time of year so
memorable and meaningful,
so beautiful and bright.
