The Oregon City Commission honored three residents Wednesday, Nov. 4, for years of volunteer work that most neighbors never see.

David Bone, Anne Haynes and Paul Winklesky received recognition as part of the city's participation in Extra Mile Day, a national observance that invites local governments to spotlight people whose service strengthens community life.

The national observance falls annually on Nov. 1, according to a press release from Extra Mile America. Oregon City held its ceremony at the Nov. 4 Commission meeting.

The initiative has grown from 23 cities in 2009 to more than 800 different U.S. cities issuing proclamations over the years, according to the press release.

Here is a look at the three honorees, according to the city's announcement.

David Bone

Bone and his wife have owned Hillside Chapel since 2008. A U.S. Army veteran and member of American Legion Post 0180, he has served as master of ceremonies at the annual Memorial Day event at Mt. View Cemetery for more than 15 years.

He is president of the Oregon City Optimist Club and a past president of Donate for Life, NW. He also serves the Oregon City Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon City Elks Club. The Oregon City School District has benefited from his participation on the board of Springwater Environmental Sciences School.

Anne Haynes

Haynes is coalition director of Oregon City Together, a group representing parents, teens, school leaders, elected officials, law enforcement, faith-based groups and neighborhood organizations. She speaks to community groups and school districts about the effects of youth substance use and other risky behaviors while promoting youth mental-health awareness.

She coordinates substance-use prevention efforts with the Oregon City School District, produces content for the coalition's website, manages social media and submits grant reports. Before joining Oregon City Together, Haynes spent more than 35 years in radio and television sales and sales management.

Haynes also presented to the Oregon City School Board at its Sept. 14 meeting about the Oregon City-Gladstone Partnership for Youth. She shared that the coalition had received a grant, formed a coalition, hired a director and developed a board through Communities That Care.

Paul Winklesky

Winklesky, a retired physical therapist, served on the Oregon City Planning Commission for eight years during a period of rapid growth. The city said his work with fellow commissioners helped guide the transition from county services to urban services in the hilltop area.

He served on the Clackamas Community College Foundation Board, where he organized summer fundraising golf tournaments. He also served as Portland-Vancouver Cougar Club chapter president for his alma mater, Washington State University.

A long-time Optimist Club member, Winklesky held several officer roles including treasurer. He also served as lieutenant governor for the Pacific Northwest District of Optimist International. He helps organize and staff the annual breakfast for Oregon City and West Linn athletes before the Battle for the Bridge game.
