Be prepared and help your community by becoming a C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) member today. Members help educate people about disaster preparedness and train them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical operations. Using their training, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event and can take a more active role in preparing their community. The CERT program is administered by Department of Homeland Security.

TASTE OF THE TOWN

AURORA COLONY PUB

ometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name, just like the theme song from “Cheers.” Located in historic downtown Aurora directly off 99E, the Aurora Colony Pub combines scratch-made pub fare with a homey atmosphere where neighbors become friends and friends become family. Originally erected in the 1930s, The Colony’s building is reminiscent of old Americana, complete with the original tin roof, concrete floors and rustic decor. Local residents Janae and Corey Barton purchased the business in 2015 and worked to create a family-friendly destination as well as a local watering hole. “We have a dining room separate from the bar and free kid’s meals on Mondays,” says manager Shelby Brezai. “In the summer we open the patio and there are yard games like Connect Four, Jenga and Cornhole. It’s fun for the parents to come out and relax while the kids play.” The Colony has a tasty selection of homemade comfort food guaranteed to satisfy any appetite. The tantalizing bone-in

broasted chicken is a house special and customer favorite, pressure-fried so it’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Loaded burgers and sandwiches, pasta, soups, salads and wraps are all delicious choices, or if you’re craving a nice dinner, select locally sourced steak cooked to your preference from Willamette Valley Meat Company. Halibut fish and chips and other seafood options like coconut shrimp and clam strips are also available. Daily specials are listed on the whiteboard when you walk in with fun weekly traditions like Taco Tuesday with four different kinds of tacos and a margarita special, prime rib on Saturdays, and all-you-can-eat spaghetti on Mondays. “The plates are giant,” Shelby says. “It’s rare that someone gets through one, but it does happen, and then we’ll give you a second plate and a box!” Friday’s clam chowder is a local favorite and they often have seafood specials that day like oysters and pan-fried razor clams. A kid’s menu is available in the dining room for the little ones. Don’t forget to finish off your meal with something sweet like an apple galette or chocolate lava cake. Breakfast is served on weekends starting at 9:00 am, so come in and kick off your Saturday with eggs benedict or a breakfast quesadilla paired with a bloody mary! The bar at The Colony boasts every amenity to relax and unwind including a popcorn machine, TVs, video poker, and sometimes live local bands. The experienced bartenders can make practically any drink you’re in the mood for, with an impressive selection of liquor and local beer and wine. “We love to support other local businesses whenever we can,” explains Shelby “so we’ve recently started carrying beers


by Vision Brewing, which is located in Aurora, and wine from Pheasant Run.” Happy Hour is from 2 to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and includes discounted appetizers, beer, and well drinks. Acoustic Thursdays are starting up on March 21st and will go through the first couple weeks of September. Local

musicians interested in getting on the schedule can reach out by email to shelby@auroracolonypub.com. The Colony is cherished by locals as a hangout to enjoy great food and drinks while connecting with family and friends. “The best part is that customers become family,” says Shelby. “People love to come in, see everyone they know and get hugs. We’ve had customers dealing with health issues and other struggles, and everyone teams up to provide support.” Almost everyone working at the pub is long-term and has strong ties to the local community. “All of us are connected in some way, and it’s great to have employees who want to stay and work hard for us.” Historic Downtown Aurora holds fun events all year, so add this gem to your list of places to stop amidst winetasting or antiquing. Whether you’re a

local resident or just passing through town, check out The Aurora Colony Pub for delicious eats, tasty cocktails and customer service you can only find in a small town. The Aurora Colony Pub is located at 21568 OR-99E NE, Aurora. Give them a call at 503-678-9994, or visit their website at www.auroracolonypub.com.

AND SO ARE DEALS

February is synonymous with love, and the

real estate market is no exception. While spring is traditionally considered the peak real estate season, starting your search in February allows you to get ahead of the crowd. Beat the spring rush, avoid the intense competition, and negotiate better deals before the market heats up.

Also, I

Forget the mushy stuff! February is the month to get serious about real estate. Don't wait on the sidelines, whether you're buying or selling, start your hunt for a match made in property heaven!

enough listings to know when they find “the one” so start shopping now so that when inventory increases you feel confident you’ve seen enough properties to make a good decision and offer strong from the start.

Interest rates have fallen for the past 3 months in a row. This means there’s increasing demand for properties RIGHT NOW! And if you list now instead of waiting until April, the height of our Spring market, you may have less competition among other listings in your area.

solitary during their feeding phase, they are one of the most mysterious “anadromous” (freshwater born fish with an ocean phase) fish that exist. Chinook and Coho salmon often travel in schools, following the Pacific Coastline and feeding, being intercepted by commercial fishing fleets. They are easier to predict and keep track of. Steelhead tend to swim straight across the ocean, heading into dangerous water with many predators. As a result, only about 1 in 100 steelhead that enter the ocean will return alive to spawn.

Steelhead Are Native to Oregon

E

By Lucas Holmgren, Contributing Writer

very year, the “Grey Ghost” enters the coastal regions of our beloved Pacific Northwest region. Born in the rivers and creeks we pass by daily, they have a unique journey of one to two years in freshwater before migrating to the Pacific Ocean to begin a feeding journey that can last anywhere from six months to six years. These are winter steelhead.

Ocean-Run Rainbow Trout For anglers in the know, ocean-run rainbow trout are considered one of the premier sportfish in the world. Steelhead are the same species as rainbow trout, but they have the predisposition to migrate out of their rivers into giant open water to feed before returning at spawn time. Steelhead and rainbows can spawn together, and produce either resident rainbow or ocean-run steelhead in the same hatch! This is why you will see trucks parked at boat launches in the dead of winter. With frigid temperatures, rain and snow, winter steelhead return after swimming all the way to places like the coast of Japan, Russia and Alaska. Because they are 20 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

I’m sure you’ve seen Portland-area rivers like the Sandy and Clackamas. Although the last several years have been incredibly tough for steelhead numbers, they are still sneaking in through tidewater into these rivers, utilizing the wintertime flows to travel and hold. They are not in feeding mode at this time, although they often strike lures and bait aggressively out of instinct. They use the magnetic polar queues to navigate back to the mouth of their river and then start to use their incredible sense of smell to find the exact area where they were born. The Oregon Coast has a healthier population of these sneaky ghosts. They are not easy to spot like salmon, nor do they tend to jump or roll at the surface much. Because of this, you may walk a quiet section of a river and never know there are a few large steelhead hiding in a riffle next to you. The only time they expose themselves is when they’re spawning. This is best observed in March, April and May, when most winter steelhead spawn.

The Future These fish are a hallmark of Oregon wildlife, but they need our help! We are at the lowest levels ever counted for these magnificent fish. The more we can do to protect creek and river habitat, protect cold, clean water, and supplement them in smart, scientific ways, the better chance we have at future generations enjoying these mysterious ghosts!

DUNN CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

Breathe Easy, Live Better A compassionate tradition of natural pain relief and wellness

Could This Be You? It’s been estimated that 30 to 60 million people in America suffer from sinus congestion which can manifest in mouth breathing, dry eyes, dry mouth, snoring, limited sleep and sleep apnea, low energy, loss of smell, taste and hearing. Many have had to resort to a CPAP machine to keep their airways open, just to try and obtain a decent sleep cycle.

Who Can Benefit? Over the years, Dr. Siegfried, an international chiropractor, treated world-class athletes from the 1984 Italian Olympic Team Track and Field Division, United Arab Emirates Track and Field Team, and other world-class athletes. He’s treated Broadway dancers, San Francisco Ballet dancers, opera singers and jockeys. Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment has helped children and adults suffering with chronic sinusitis “get their life back” after experiencing a deviated septum, broken nose, concussion, whiplash injury, birth injury and more. Dr. Siegfried has helped so many patients that his colleagues have referred to him not only as the leading expert in this treatment, but also the “guru” and even the “godfather.”

Who is Dr. Siegfried and His Clinic?

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Kara Langley Do You Suffer with Chronic Sinusitis? “Thanks Dr. Siegfried. No more sinus congestion, allergies, snoring or mouth breathing,” —Niki Z. “After the eighth treatment, I was sleeping solidly for eight straight hours for the first time in eight years. And by the way, no more drugs!!” —Jon V.N.

Breathe Better Now! Are you sick and tired of chronic sinus congestion? Dr. George Siegfried, Chiropractic Physician at Dunn Chiropractic Clinic in McMinnville, has been helping patients breathe better with Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment since 1976. This natural, nonsurgical treatment has helped alleviate chronic sinus and other related problems even in patients who have already had sinus surgeries, or those who have considered sinus surgery prior to visiting Dr. Siegfried. “Desperate” and “at the end of their rope,” these patients are grateful for his care and expertise in providing Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment, which he has performed thousands of times. Furthermore, this treatment uses no drugs and no needles. 22 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY

Earn an OTD at WOU Oregon’s first public university to offer occupational therapy doctorate program

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos courtesy of WOU

oes a career in occupational therapy pique your interest? Did you know that almost any baccalaureate degree in arts or sciences will be accepted for Western Oregon University’s new OT Doctorate Program? Do you have any idea of the wealth of opportunities that await qualified OT professionals? Western Oregon University invites students to apply today for the fall 2024 Occupational Therapy Doctorate program, conveniently located at WOU Salem. “We’re really excited that we’re the first Occupational Therapy program at a public university in the state of Oregon,” says founding program director, Sean Roush. “Salem is a great location for a health professions program. We’re a very short walk to Salem Health or to the state legislature for advocacy events, and we’re also close to the Oregon State Hospital as well as many other healthcare facilities. These are all areas in which OTs work, so it’s a great opportunity for our students to have all of these organizations easily accessible,” he explains. Occupational Therapy is a very broad profession which

30 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

offers a great deal of diversity. “We are a holistic healthcare profession and address everything from physical health to mental health, from birth through geriatrics,” relates Director Sean Roush. Practices may include working in a neonatal unit, in schools, in community mental health, in a hospital or physical disabilities clinic or helping individuals to age in place. Director Roush further explains, “The goal of Occupational Therapy is to help people do the things they want to do, the things they need to do or things they’re expected to do, and to have the most successful engagement in life that they can.” Students are encouraged to keep an open mind as they enter the OTD program. Many times, they come in on their first day “knowing” the area of practice they want to pursue; however, they often discover an area or opportunity they didn’t know existed. Additionally, in a field with so much variety, OT professionals have the advantage of changing practices without having to change professions! Why choose Western Oregon University? They have the longest history of educating professionals in the state of Oregon. They continue to work hard for YOU! They are committed to being among the Hispanic-serving institutions in Oregon and welcome diversity in all areas. For more details about the OTD program, visit graduate.wou. edu/occupational-therapy-doctorate. For inquiries, email otd@mail.wou.edu or call 503-751-4054. Address mail correspondence to OTD Program, Western Oregon University, 345 N. Monmouth Ave. Monmouth, OR 97361.

The History of Chocolate Ancient, delicious and divine

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

W

hen we hear the word “chocolate,” most of us picture a bar, ice cream, baked goods, or a confection of some type. Typically eating chocolate, not drinking it, and a sweet taste is usually associated with chocolate rather than a savory one. However, for approximately 90% of chocolate’s extensive history, it was primarily a beverage, and sugar didn’t figure into the equation at all. While the terminology can be a bit puzzling, most contemporary experts refer to “cacao” as the plant or its beans prior to processing, while the term “chocolate” refers to a product made from the beans. “Cocoa” is the term for chocolate in powdered form, though across the Atlantic, the British frequently use the word “cacao.” “Chocolate” has been traced by etymologists back to the Aztec word “xocoatl,” which described a bitter beverage brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree,

36 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

Theobroma cacao, translates to “food of the gods.” Historians today estimate that chocolate has been around for at least 2000 years, but recent research suggests it may be even older. Although it’s difficult to establish an exact date for the origin of chocolate, it’s evident that it was valued from the very beginning. For many centuries in premodern Latin America, cacao beans were actually used as currency. A single bean could buy one tamale, while 100 beans could be traded for a good turkey hen, as noted in a 16th-century Aztec document. Both the Mayans and Aztecs considered the cacao bean magical and sometimes divine. It was commonly a part of sacred rituals of birth, death, and marriage. It wasn’t until Europeans discovered the Americas and became familiar with the native cuisine that chocolate made its entrance on the world stage. According to legend, the Aztec king Montezuma welcomed the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes with a feast that included drinking chocolate. Although chocolate didn’t initially agree with the European palate, once it was mixed with honey or sugar, it rapidly grew in popularity throughout Spain. By the 17th century, Europeans had embraced chocolate as a glamorous drink, reputed to possess medicinal, nutritious, and even aphrodisiac properties — rumors suggest that Casanova was a


big fan of chocolate. But it remained primarily a drink of the upper class until the invention of the steam engine revolutionized chocolate production, resulting in chocolate becoming available in mass quantities to society at large. It was in 1828 when a Dutch chemist devised a method to create powdered chocolate by filtering out approximately half the natural fat (cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, pulverizing what remained and introducing a mixture of alkaline salts to negate the bitter taste. This product, known as “Dutch cocoa,” eventually led to the development of solid chocolate. Joseph Fry, in 1847, is credited with the creation of the world’s first chocolate bar. Fry discovered that by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa, the result was a moldable chocolate paste. Within 20 years of Fry’s discovery, the now famous company Cadbury was selling boxes of chocolate candy in Britain. Soon thereafter, another recognizable name, Nestle, pioneered the creation of milk chocolate in Switzerland.

During the Revolutionary War in America, chocolate was so valued that it was included in soldiers’ rations in lieu of wages. Most of us today wouldn’t likely settle for payment in chocolate over dollars, but that doesn’t mean the

humble cacao bean isn’t a potent force in the economy. In the U.S. alone, chocolate is a four billion dollar industry, and the average American consumes at least half a pound per month.

In recent times, a chocolate revolution has swept across the globe, marked by a burgeoning interest in high-quality, artisanal chocolates and sustainable, efficient cacao farming and harvesting techniques. Due to this shift in consumer tastes, large corporations like Hershey’s have developed artisanal chocolate lines by acquiring smaller premium chocolate producers, and independent chocolatiers have proliferated as well. Here in the Pacific Northwest, artisanal chocolate has exploded in recent years. One of the first chocolatiers on the Portland scene was Moonstruck; though recently sold to a larger company, Moonstruck helped establish a market for gourmet chocolate in the city. Currently, there are a plethora of artisanal chocolatiers in the local area. Missionary Chocolates in Northeast Portland, founded by a doctor with a passion for chocolate, produces delicious dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan chocolate and non-allergenic truffles.

A Yen for Chocolate was founded and is operated by Cristina Yen, a chocolatier who has brought her multicultural experiences from around the globe to Northwest Portland, where she handcrafts mouthwatering chocolate creations for a growing clientele. Named in honor of the Wildwood Trail in Portland’s Washington Park, Wildwood Chocolate sources the finest ingredients and crafts masterfully blended ingredients such as cardamom, honey and berries with chocolate to create award-winning confections.

So, the next time your sweet tooth has a hankering for chocolate, know that this wonderful treat has a history stretching back to indigenous peoples of South and Central America, and that the tasty chocolate morsels available in your local supermarket are the result of centuries of trial, error, and innovation. And if you wish to sample the cutting-edge creations of local chocolatiers, be sure to visit some of the artisanal producers featured above, or the myriad of other producers in our country’s continually evolving chocolate landscape.
