angemen. He spent his
first two years after high
school graduation in the
woods as a logger.
On Aug. 26, 1950, he
married Margie Hahn.
They soon moved to
Springfield, where Char-
lie began learning the
trade of saw filer. Charlie
became skilled at the
sharpening and repair of
all manner of saws and
tools, and worked at sev-
eral local mills, including
Rosboro, Barker-Willam-
ette, Tangfeldt, and Sene-
ca. After retirement he
still continued to be a sub-
stitute saw filer into his
early 70s.
Charlie and Margie
lived in Springfield for
over 65 years of marriage
and raised three children
there. Charlie was always
an enthusiastic supporter
of their sports and hob-
bies, especially track and
field. Charlie and Margie
fixed up and managed
several rental properties
over the years. Charlie
was skilled in many areas.
He could build walls,
fences, and decks, repair
plumbing and electrical
works, and performed
landscaping work. He
helped friends and family
with the repair of car bod-
ies and engines. In the
1970s, he took up learning
the Norwegian language,
in which he became quite
fluent. On his first trip to
Norway, he celebrated his
50th birthday in his fa-
ther’s home town. In the
1980s, Charlie took up jog-
ging for his health and
participated in numerous
5K and 10K runs and two
half-marathons.
Charlie was preceded
in death by his parents,
sister Viola Brown, sister
Judy Irwin, brother Her-
man Vigeland, nephew
Gary Brown and niece
Carol Hilterbrand. He is
survived by his wife Mar-
gie, daughter Sheri (Jim)
Schweigert, son Chris,
son Rik (Linda), six grand-
children (Sara Gill, Emily
Watts, Anna Vigeland
Pickering, Laura Vige-
land, Kelly Kent and Chris
Schweigert), nine great-
grandchildren, brothers-
and sisters-in law, and nu-
merous nieces, nephews,
cousins, and their fam-
ilies.
He lived to see all his
grandchildren graduate
from college and start
jobs, and he was very
proud of all his family.
Charlie was always quick
to greet visitors with a
hug or a handshake. He
loved to joke, tease, and
play with his grandchil-
dren. He talked politics
and
current
affairs
through his final days. He
will always be remem-
bered for his warmth,
kindness, humor, and gen-
erosity.
At his request, there
will be no memorial ser-
vice. His ashes will be bur-
ied at Valley View (Evans
Valley) Cemetery, in Sil-
verton, near his parents
and brother.

Mt. Angel improves fire risk rating
CHRISTENA BROOKS
SPECIAL TO THE APPEAL TRIBUNE
If you’re a property
owner in the Mt. Angel
Fire District, your insur-
ance premiums may de-
crease by year’s end.
Thanks to a nine-month
effort by the district and
its partners, Mt. Angel’s
fire protection rating just
got better – a whole lot
better. On July 25, the
city’s public protection
classification (PPC) went
from a “5” to a “3,” and in
the surrounding areas, it
went from an “8” to a “4.”
The new classifications
go into effect Nov. 1.
“I’m conservatively es-
timating the combined in-
surance premium savings
for policy holders within
our small district will be
in excess of $500,000 an-
nually,” said Craig Emch,
co-owner of Butsch Insur-
ance and a former Mt. An-
gel firefighter. “That is a
tremendous
economic
boon to the local commu-
nity, and all involved
should be proud of this ac-
complishment.”
Lower is better on the
1-10 scale used by Insur-
ance Services Office, Inc.,
a company that inspects
fire department through-
out the nation and sells the
data to insurance compa-
nies. The rating system is
designed to reflect how
quickly and efficiently a
firefighting agency can
respond to fires or other
emergencies.
It’s been 16 years since
Mt. Angel was last in-
spected by the ISO, so it
had many upgrades to
demonstrate.
Two gleaming 2014
Piece Saber pumpers re-
spond to fires from the 35-
square-mile
district’s
downtown station. They
were purchased with
funds from a $950,000
bond sale approved by
voters in 2012. At 35 cents
per $1,000 of assessed val-
ue, the owner of a
$200,000 home is paying
roughly $70 per years for
the next seven years.
Now some property
owners may see their
bond payments partially
or fully offset by savings
on their insurance poli-
cies.
With the new rating,
Emch found residents in
town could save an aver-
age of 5 percent while ru-
ral residents could save
more like 15 percent.
“Actual results are go-
ing to vary greatly by in-
dividual policy holder and
individual insurance com-
pany,” he cautioned.
A few companies –
State Farm and Sublimity
Company, for example –
use their own metrics
rather than ISO ratings.
So possible premium re-
ductions range widely,
from 0 to 14 percent in the
city, and from 0 to 24 per-
cent in the country, he
said.
Chief Jim Trierweiler
was “pleasantly sur-
prised” by Mt. Angel’s
new protection class, al-
though he did expect im-
provement of some kind.
But it’s the community,
volunteers and other part-
ners that helped he fire
district make the grade,
he said.
Mt.
Angel
Public
Works maintains the
city’s hydrants, while “au-
to aid” agreements set
through METCOM 911
with Silverton, Marion
County, Woodburn and
Monitor fire agencies are
critical, especially when
it comes to water supply
in rural areas.
Also helping halve Mt.
Angel’s fire risk rating is a
new formal agreement
with local farmers and
other property owners
identifying some irriga-
tion wells as rural hy-
drants.
This kind of pre-plan-
ning may impress investi-
gators, but it also simply
makes for safer homes
and businesses, Trierweil-
er said. And new technol-
ogy – including an app
called Active 911 – puts
building pre-plans and hy-
drant locations at the fin-
gertips of all volunteers
with cell phones.
“Because ISO changed
the rating system, and
we’ve done some house-
cleaning and organizing, I
had a feeling we’d show
improvement,” he said.
Currently, only one fire
department in Oregon has
earned a PPC rating of
Class 1, while 27 are Class
2, 73 are Class 3, 118 are
Class 4, 140 are Class 5 and
66 are Class 6.
The lowest rating, 10, is
reserved for those who
meet the minimum re-
quirements; it’s also auto-
matically assigned to
properties farther than 5
miles from a fire station.
Mt. Angel’s neighbor,
Silverton Fire, is rated
“4,” however it’s partway
through an ISO evaluation
and may see changes
soon. Marion County Fire
District No. 1, now rated
“4” inside Salem’s urban
growth boundary and “8”
outside it, has just begun
the process.
For those in the Silver-
ton Fire District, there’s
already some good news.
Over the last fives years,
the ISO hasn’t recognized
the Crooked Finger Sta-
tion in Scotts Mills due to a
misunderstanding, said
Chief Bill Miles. On April
1, that mistake was cor-
rected, so “(property own-
ers) need to go back and
revisit their insurance.
They were a 10, and
they’re a 4 now,” he said.
