A View from the Hill By Doris Brosnan An upcoming Lunch & Learn session in Boardman will focus on the concept of industrial symbiosis. The lunch, which tar- gets asset owners, utilities, legislators and regional stakeholders, will take place Wednesday, Jan. 15, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the SAGE Center. Industrial symbiosis is a transformative systems approach for industries to collaborate and maximize resource efficiency. This session will focus on how industrial symbiosis can deliver economic, environ- mental and social benefits to the Boardman region and beyond. What is Industrial Symbiosis? Industrial symbiosis is a systems approach where businesses and industries collaborate to use each oth- er’s byproducts, resources and expertise. This innova- tive model aims to create mutual benefits such as cost savings through shared efficiencies, increased prof- itability by finding value in what is currently wasted, regulatory compliance with environmental standards, new job creation and local economic growth, and risk mitigation in supply chains and production processes. During the lunch ses- sion, attendees will hear about successful industrial symbiosis models, includ- ing the world-renowned Kalundborg Symbiosis in Denmark, as well as dis- cover how regional partner- ships are already forming in the North Morrow area to enhance collaboration and drive shared resource management projects. Per Møller, a pioneer of industrial symbiosis from Kalundborg Symbiosis, will share his experiences in developing and scaling collaborative resource man- agement projects. Kalund- borg Symbiosis has been in operation for 50 years. Bjørn Skjødt Sørensen, Senior Project Manager at Danish consultancy firm Viegand Maagøe, will present practical insights from mapping and imple- menting numerous indus- trial symbiosis projects worldwide. The program will also include discussion on symbiosis as a pathway to regional collaboration, economic resilience and regulatory readiness, as well as a networking op- portunity to spark collab- oration and shared oppor- tunities. RSVP by Jan 8 by emailing Nigel@center- forsi.org. The session is hosted by the Center for Sustain- able Infrastructure (CSI) and Supported by Busi- ness Oregon.

The year 2025 has come to Willow Creek Terrace rather quietly, not unlike the quiet snowfalls that remind everyone that winter is here. Many in the community view staying snuggly warm while awaiting next spring as an easy resolution to keep and are thankful for their home that guarantees this. Last year ended with their flurry of traditional activ- ities: carols, hot chocolate, gifts from Santa, Christmas visitors and special dinner, as well as the New Year wel- comed with a toast of sparkling cider. January promises fewer additional activities beyond those that they can all enjoy no matter the weather out- side: exercises, bingo, crafts, games and jigsaw puzzles. Of course, “Belly Laugh Day” will surely produce some jokes! The veterans will be attending the special monthly veterans’ luncheon today, an opportunity to meet with the Veterans Officer and to visit with other veterans. So goes the quiet life on The Hill, viewed by most as relaxing and refreshing. Administrator Lankford has reported the continued search for additional employees for the Terrace.
