Together for Change
Organization raises thousands for nonprofits
By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer
The nonprofit 100+ Who Care dedicates itself to unwavering action. The goal is to unite 100 or more individuals, each donating $100 twice yearly, culminating in a $10,000+ donation to a local nonprofit organization. The money is collected and donated at semi-annual events held in April and October, and this month the committee is hoping for its largest turnout to date. “It’s nothing short of magical when you bring that many generous, caring people together to do something great,” says organizer Vanessa Zimmerman.
Vanessa, a mortgage broker by trade, started the Clackamas County chapter of 100+ Who Care in 2023. “It’s important to me to leave a legacy of positivity and generosity; this was the perfect opportunity,” she explains. Though the program is nationwide, there are no templates or instructions, so Vanessa started from scratch with just a website and a Facebook page. Finding that first 100 people took some legwork, but the initiative has continued to grow, and at their last semi-annual event in April, they raised a staggering $11,900.
The upcoming installment of 100+ Who Care is planned for Oct. 24 and is graciously hosted, per usual, by Lori and Ken Arrigotti in the Antonio Ballroom above Backstop Bar & Grill. Lori is part of Vanessa’s committee, along with Amy Baez, Brooke Toma, Kerri Oliver and Brittney Hopping, who all work hard behind the scenes to prepare for the occasion. Local nonprofits can apply or are nominated by members, and three of them, names drawn from a hat, are invited to attend and share their stories. The committee provides locations
where members can drop off their $100 check ahead of time if they can’t be there in person. They currently have over 130 members, and the group keeps growing.
The event begins at 5 p.m. with a social and no-host bar where the three nominated organizations are invited to set up booths and educate members as to what they do: the program then starts at 6 p.m. The previous winner shares how the donated funds grew their programs, followed by a short presentation from each nonprofit before the group votes and a winner is chosen! The $10,000 is presented on a giant check, and any additional funds raised will be split between the two remaining nonprofits. The excitement in the room is palpable as everyone watches the impact of collective giving in real time!
The organization is all about creating visibility for the organizations that make a difference in our community. “One of the primary objectives of this program is to bring awareness to these local nonprofits,” Vanessa explains. “There are so many, and most of us aren’t aware they exist.”
“It’s great to hear how the organizations utilize the funds, and we want to share that impact with the community,” says Vanessa. Members are encouraged to bring their friends and family to events. If a non-member would like to join, a QR code is provided for sign-up, and after a $100 donation they
are given a ballot to vote for a nonprofit. The nonprofits for the upcoming event include: 4D Recovery, Fort Kennedy, and Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies. 4D Recovery helps youth battling addiction by connecting them with resources for treatment and recovery; Fort Kennedy helps vets access benefits to combat homelessness and live healthy lives; and Neurotherapeutic Pediatric Therapies specializes in therapy, mental health and medical services for kids and families.
The nonprofit 100+ Who Care Clackamas County will hold its next event on Oct. 24 at 5 p.m. For more information, visit 100pluswhocare.com, or contact Vanessa at 503-459-8065 or 100pluswhocare@gmail.com.
JPainting History
Portraits reignite forgotten histories and spark dialogue
By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer
eremy Okai Davis is an incredibly busy man. Between his full-time day job working as a graphic designer and illustrator here at Active Media, his full-time 24/7 job of being a good companion to his partner and proud father of two, and his full-time artistic endeavors (which involve deadlines for both ongoing and upcoming shows), it’s a wonder he finds any time for rest, let alone relaxation. You would think that something would have to give, but for Jeremy, expressing himself artistically is as integral as breathing. Without it, he is not living his best life, not being the best version of himself that he can be.
Of course, if you are familiar with Portland’s vibrant local art scene, Jeremy’s name will likely not be foreign to you. His fantastic work has been shown in the Rotating Art Program at Portland International Airport, in the Lonnie B. Harris Black Cultural Center (at Oregon State University), in the University of Oregon’s permanent collection, and many others. His works are primarily portraits of forgotten or underrepresented Black historical figures, painted in a wonderfully expressive pointillist style, juxtaposed against relatively simple backgrounds which may include poignant graphic
elements to expand the story. Jeremy believes art to be an interactive and communal experience, and hopes to not only inspire a deeper dive into the subjects’ history but also to open a broader dialogue in general.
Jeremy has two shows on the horizon that are not to be missed. The first is at the Elizabeth Leach Gallery and opens
on Thursday, November 7th. This show will expand on his previous show, “A Good Sport” which highlighted Black Americans performing in the fields of sports and academia and navigating the highly complex ideologies of “sportsmanship” throughout their careers. This time around, Jeremy will turn his keen eye toward Black
comedians, performers, and vaudevillians, particularly those who pressed boundaries and broke down racial barriers in the industry. He will invite viewers to ponder the subjects’ punchlines.
His second “show” will be the unveiling of his final 2 pieces for the Bush House Museum’s “Reinvisioned: Contemporary Portraits of our Black Ancestors.” Jeremy has been working on this collection for over two years, adding 2 new pieces every six months, and he is as honored to be a part of this important project as he is proud to be completing it. There is a dark history within the walls of this museum, but with their inclusive and intentional recontextualization, growth and healing have been made possible.
Jeremy Okai Davis is a remarkable artist and man. His message is one that needs to be heard. Support local artists and don’t miss out on these important shows. Follow Jeremy on Instagram: @jeremyokaiart for updates and info.

Ghostbusters I & II (1984, 1989)
“Who you gonna call?” There’s nothing like the original Ghostbusters, and the reboots aren’t even worth watching in my opinion. Not one but two sci-fi action-comedies star a legendary cast, including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, Rick Moranis, and more. Parapsychologists turned ghost hunters in New York City end up saving the world twice — from an ancient god, Dozer, hellbent on destruction, and the Stay Puft marshmallow man (Ghostbusters I), and then again from a psychoactive pink slime flowing under the city, and a 16th century sorcereralchemist Vigo the Carpathian who wants to be reborn in the 20th century. The movies are occult, spooky, funny, actionpacked, and great for the whole family. Rated PG, but with strong language and mature themes it’s more like PG-13.
Stream these movies where available, or rent from your local movie store, library or rental kiosk.
Kiki’s Delivery Service (1990)
“Without even thinking about it, I used to be able to fly. Now I’m trying to look inside myself and find out how I did it.” This heartwarming anime follows the journey of 13-yearold Kiki, a young witch who moves to a quaint seaside town with her loyal talking cat, Jiji. As part of the tradition in her village, Kiki must spend a year living on her own to complete her training as a witch. Armed with her broomstick, she quickly learns to harness her flying abilities and starts a unique delivery service, delivering packages to the town’s residents. The movie captures Kiki’s growth and the challenges she faces — she becomes part of the community and yet her confidence begins to waver, leading her to lose the magic that once came so easily. And the animation is utterly stunning. Rated G.
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
“How’s that for a slice of fried gold?” The movie opens with an homage to London citizens going through their work days like zombies, arguably showing how complacent and boring our lives have become — only when threatened, like our primordial days, do we truly live again.
Once the zombie outbreak takes hold, things get exciting. Shaun, an AV salesperson, and Ed, a small-time weed dealer, are thrust into action to defend themselves. Once outside, they band together with friends and quest to their local pub, The Winchester. Billed as a rom-com with zombies, there are interpersonal subplots galore, including Shaun and Liz’s deteriorating relationship (Shaun isn’t spontaneous or romantic), Shaun and Ed’s one-sided friendship, Shaun’s rocky relationship with his stepfather, and jealous David whose love for Liz is unrequited. It’s gut-ripping gore hyperbole. It’s deeply funny with its dry British humor. And it’s action-packed. A zombie movie in its own right, it’s also an homage to George A. Romero. Directed by Edgar Wright and starring a huge cast with Bill Nighy, Peter Serafinowicz, Kate Ashfield and more. Rated R for language and graphic violence.
Freaky Facts
Halloween’s origins go back to the ancient Celtic festival of “Samhain,” the celebration of the end of harvest season. The Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead got a little blurry and the dead would come back to life and wreak havoc among the living. How to scare the dead? Wear costumes and masks.
The average American eats about 3.4 pounds of Halloween candy.
Try wearing your clothes inside out and walk backwards on Halloween. According to traditions, this will make sure you see a witch at midnight.

Sealing Success
John’s Waterproofing celebrates 50 years of service
By Kelly Romo, Contributing Writer
In 1974, John Lombardi founded John’s Waterproofing with a simple but powerful vision: to protect homes from the damaging effects of moisture in basements and crawl spaces. Initially, Lombardi handled all aspects of the business himself, working tirelessly to build a foundation of trust and excellence. His commitment to delivering high-quality service allowed the company to expand significantly, evolving from a one-man operation to a thriving family-owned business with a reputation for innovation, integrity and customer satisfaction. As the company celebrates its 50th anniversary, it’s clear that John’s Waterproofing has grown and evolved while remaining true to its roots.
John’s determination and hands-on approach allowed the company to steadily grow for the first couple of decades of its operation. The waterproofing industry, however, began to shift in the 1990s with the introduction of products specifically formulated for basement and crawl space waterproofing on the East Coast.
A company called Contractor Nation dove into the science of waterproofing by crafting products and processes that could provide long-lasting solutions for belowgrade spaces. To ensure John’s Waterproofing offered the best to his neighbors across the PNW, John learned about these new
advances, testing and tailoring them to provide region-specific solutions that set them apart from competitors.
A pivotal moment in the company’s history occurred in 2019 when long-time employee Robin Ekloff took over ownership when John retired. Ekloff, who has worked for John’s Waterproofing since 1997, ensured that the transition was smooth, maintaining the same level of service and integrity the company was known for. Under Ekloff’s leadership, the company has continued to thrive and innovate. Adding new services such as electrical work, Cummins whole-home generators and radon mitigation, John’s Waterproofing has positioned itself as a comprehensive home health solution provider.
Over the last five decades, the waterproofing and foundation repair industry has seen tremendous technological advancements, and John’s Waterproofing has consistently remained at the forefront. One of the most significant innovations is the CleanSpace® crawl space vapor barrier, which is a 20-mil thick woven material designed to completely seal out groundwater. This system helps protect homes from moisture and mold and deters pests while improving energy efficiency. In addition to CleanSpace®, the company offers the TripleSafe™ sump pump, which ensures that below-grade spaces always stay dry by efficiently pumping water away from the foundation. John’s takes pride in improving indoor air quality by keeping the space dry at all times to prevent mold spores and allergens from reaching the living areas above.
As a familyowned company, John’s Waterproofing has always placed a strong emphasis on creating a positive work environment and fostering a sense of integrity throughout its operations. Many employees are family members or long-time staff who have become like family. This strong internal culture ensures that every employee is dedicated to delivering the best possible service to customers. Ekloff has continued Lombardi’s practice of leading by example, reinforcing a culture of honesty, reliability, and community service.

The company’s commitment to integrity extends beyond its workforce. John’s Waterproofing is heavily involved in community initiatives, supporting Habitat for Humanity, local schools, the Silverton Area Community Aid (SACA) and the Mount Angel American Legion. By actively participating in these efforts, the company not only helps improve the lives of its neighbors but also reinforces its role as a trusted community partner.
Since taking over in 2019, Ekloff has introduced several new product lines and services to help grow the company. One of his key initiatives has been expanding the company’s offerings to include home electrical services and installing Cummins home generators. With these new additions, John’s Waterproofing provides comprehensive solutions to homeowners, ensuring their homes are protected from water damage and equipped to handle
power outages and other potential hazards. Despite the challenges of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, Ekloff has successfully grown the company, and it continues to thrive.
Looking ahead, John’s Waterproofing is preparing for new industry trends. One of the most significant shifts has been the growing demand for basement finishing as more people work from
home. Before converting a basement into a livable space, homeowners must ensure it’s appropriately waterproofed to avoid costly repairs later on. John’s Waterproofing offers specialized services to help homeowners protect their investment and create additional square footage in their homes.
As John’s Waterproofing celebrates 50 years of excellence, the company remains committed to providing topquality waterproofing services and helping homeowners create healthier, safer living spaces. Whether you’re dealing with a wet basement or a damp crawl space or simply want to improve your home’s air quality, John’s Waterproofing offers free inspections and personalized recommendations to meet your specific needs.

Día de los Muertos
A celebration of life and memory in Mexico
This blending of pre-Hispanic and Christian traditions is a reflection of Mexico’s rich and complex history, where the combination of indigenous practices and European culture have created something entirely new.
By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
Every autumn, as the air grows cool and crisp and the trees turn brilliant shades of gold and scarlet, Mexico becomes a whirl of vibrant colors and music. The fall season ushers in the Day of the Dead — Día de los Muertos in Spanish — a unique cultural celebration honoring the lives of those who have passed away. Though the name of the celebration sounds ominous, it is anything but. It’s a joyous festival that melds ancient indigenous traditions with Catholic influences, resulting in a dazzling tapestry of love, life and remembrance.
Central to the Day of the Dead is the belief that, once a year, the departed souls of loved ones return to the world of the living for a reunion with their families. These souls, whether they be the spirits of honored ancestors or beloved pets, are welcomed back with offerings of their favorite foods, drinks and mementos from their lives. Families construct ofrendas, or altars, decorated with candles, photographs and colorful papel picado — ornate paper cut-outs that flutter in the breeze. With its bright orange petals, the marigold, or cempasúchil, is everywhere, its sweet fragrance serving as a guide to draw the spirits home.
The two-day celebration, every November 1st and 2nd, corresponds on the Catholic calendar to All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. The first day is focused on the souls of children, known as angelitos (little angels) while the second day is dedicated to adults.
What makes the Day of the Dead so special, however, is not just its pageantry, but a continual connection with loved ones that transcends the finality of death. Families gather in cemeteries, often staying overnight, to clean and decorate graves, share stories and celebrate with music and food. Frequently, entire communities join together for processions and parades, where everyone is invited to join in the festivities.
An important part of the Day of the Dead is the food. Each dish bears symbolic significance. Pan de muerto, a sweet, anise-flavored bread decorated with bone-shaped designs, is a classic treat. Sugar skulls, often personalized with the names of departed loved ones, are a sweet reminder of the cycle of life and death. Mole, tamales, and atole (a warm, spiced corn drink) are other traditional offerings, each selected for its connection to the deceased one’s tastes or the family’s heritage.
More than just a time to remember those who have passed, the Day of the Dead is a celebration of life itself. Rather than something to be feared, death is viewed as an integral aspect of the human experience. By honoring those who have departed, their memories are kept alive, thereby ensuring they continue on as a vital part of our lives.
So should you find yourself in Mexico during these magical days of autumn, embrace the celebration. Savor the delicious traditional foods, dance, and above all reflect on how, in celebrating the dead, we are also embracing the enduring beauty of life.
Unmasking Halloween
A journey into its ancient origins
By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
Each autumn as October draws near, neighborhoods transform. Pumpkins leer from porches, skeletons and monsters festoon front yards, and children eagerly anticipate the thrill of trick-or-treating and the hoard of candy they will amass. But where did this creepy spectacle we call Halloween originate?
The answer to this stretches back over two thousand years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced sowin). Celebrated on October 31st, Samhain marked the close of summer and the commencement of winter — a dark, cold, time associated with death in Celtic tradition. On the night before Samhain, the Celts believed the boundary between the living and the dead grew thin, permitting spirits to roam freely across
the earth. To ward off these visitors from the other side, people built bonfires and donned costumes fashioned from the heads and hides of animals.
Later, as the Roman Empire gained dominion over much of Europe, their festivals of Feralia (commemorating the passing of the dead) and Pomona (honoring the goddess of fruits and trees) merged with Samhain. This cultural fusion brought apple bobbing into the festivities. Pomona, the goddess of orchard fruits, was often depicted bearing apples, a symbol of the harvest and abundance. Incorporating apples into the holiday is a nod to Pomona’s influence — still seen today in bobbing for apples and the tradition of candy apples. As the centuries passed, celebrating the harvest and honoring the dead were integrated into Halloween traditions, blending Roman and the older Celtic customs together as something new.
Fast forward to the 8th century when Pope Gregory III declared November 1 as All Saints’ Day or All Hallows’ Day, to honor saints and martyrs. These new holidays were part of a broader strategy by the Christian church to replace pagan festivals with Christian ones. As time passed, the night before October 31, became All Hallows’ Eve — morphing eventually into Halloween. It was during this period that traditions like souling and guising emerged, where the poor went door to door requesting soul cakes in exchange for their prayers on behalf of the dead. It was this tradition that evolved into what we know today as trick-or-treating.
The jack-o’-lantern, one of the most iconic symbols of Halloween, has its own fascinating origin. The tradition of carving faces into vegetables predates Halloween and originates from ancient Irish folklore. According to the story, a man named Stingy Jack attempted to trick the Devil and was condemned to roam the earth with only a lantern fashioned from a carved-out turnip to light his way. In Ireland turnips were used for this purpose during Halloween festivities, but upon reaching the New World, Irish immigrants discovered that pumpkins, native to their new home,
were larger and easier to carve. This practical switch gave rise to the nowfamiliar jack-o’-lantern, a central feature of Halloween décor to this day. Halloween continued to evolve in the New World. In colonial America, European traditions integrated with indigenous harvest festivals creating new customs. While many American colonists celebrated Halloween with activities such as fortune-telling, dancing and communal gatherings, the Puritans, due to their strict religious views, frowned upon Halloween festivities, deeming them to be pagan and irrelevant. Despite puritanical naysayers, the 19th century saw Halloween expand into a communitycentered event with activities like parades, parties and mischief-making. Halloween also grew to be accepted by schools, churches and civic groups which began holding those same parties, parades and other festivities. As Halloween became a familyfriendly event, much of the raucous mischief-making of the past began to diminish. By the early 20th century, Halloween was celebrated from coast to coast as a national holiday.
In the decades following World War II, Halloween traditions were firmly entrenched with costumes, trick-or-treating and spooky decorations taking center stage. Instead of the laborious handsewn costumes of the past, factories now massproduced inexpensive costumes that made dressing up for Halloween a snap. As Halloween became increasingly commercialized, themed parties, haunted houses and an expanding array of Halloweenthemed merchandise became the norm.
Today, Halloween’s popularity has only burgeoned. Contemporary trends run the gamut from spooky movie marathons and elaborate haunted attractions, to viral social media challenges and interactive experiences. Year-round Halloween shops exist to satiate your spooky urges. Halloween has even expanded the ghostly season to stretch beyond October 31, with Halloween promotions and events commencing as early as September. So commercially successful is Halloween from a business standpoint that it stands second only to Christmas in terms of revenue generated — a testament to its enduring appeal across generations.
As the air grows chill and the trees turn red and gold, remember that Halloween is more than just candy, costumes and jack-o’-lanterns. It’s a tapestry woven from ancient rituals, Christian traditions and the spiritual beliefs of numerous cultures spanning centuries. It’s a time to embrace the spooky, celebrate community and be on the lookout for spirits that may stalk the earth at this sacred time of year.
So as you don your costume and select a pumpkin for carving, take a moment to ponder the ancient roots of this beloved holiday. Whether you’re young or simply young at heart, Halloween is an invitation to revel in the mystery of the unknown, celebrate the cycle of life and death, and to maybe even bob for an apple or two. And as the last light fades on All Hallows’ Eve, the timeless allure of things that go bump in the night is sure to embrace you once more.

Ror almost 70 years now (with an August 3rd, 1955 inception date), the North Clackamas Chamber of Commerce has been working diligently towards manifesting its mission: to engage the business community to enhance a vibrant regional economy. In so doing, they more specifically work towards being a key influencer in shaping policy and strategy in community investment.

Under the preeminent leadership of President and CEO Jay Jones, the Chamber seeks to bring people together, to grow and nurture business relationships, and to help members make the connections they need in order to create greater success with their businesses.
I had the great pleasure of speaking with Jay, and if there is a more qualified or more inspiring individual out there to lead such an organization, I have yet to meet them. Since Jay secured his position in April of last year (2023), he has sharpened the Chamber’s focus on fundraising and donating to community members and businesses in need, especially
non-profit organizations. He is also extremely enthusiastic regarding the various events the Chamber has on its calendar for the remaining months of 2024 and into 2025.
On Friday, September 20th, at Sah-Hah-Lee Golf Course, they will have their “Queen of the Green” golf outing. This is a “Nine and Dine” affair, ladies only, with a tee off time of 1:00 pm. The round is scheduled to wrap up by 3:30 pm, and then move to the clubhouse for a nice dinner and networking event to be concluded at 5:30 pm.

Other exciting opportunities for Chamber members include their weekly networking events.
