HUNNYBEEZ FOOD TRUCK

American-Filipino Fusion By Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer Photos By Andrew Wegman

Although certainly not unique to Portland and the surrounding areas, the food truck industry in our region has been a booming business for several years now. Pods began popping up on every corner and are such high quality that they rival the finest brick and mortar restaurants. CNN even proclaimed Portland to be “home to the world’s best street food.” Catering to every whim and fancy, there is a food cart located somewhere in town to satiate even your wildest cravings. The astounding thing about food carts is that, with slightly lower overhead costs, they are able to focus all of their energy and expertise on the thing that matters most: the food. And they are able to create specialized dishes at affordable prices that you may not otherwise find in “normal” restaurants. Case in point, the delicious American-Filipino fusion food found exclusively at Hunny Beez Food Truck in Newberg (with a second location now in Aloha). This is a true passion project for co-owner/founder Andrew Wegman and his partner Honey Blossom Robles. The two of them have been friends and co-workers in the food industry for over 20 years. Two years ago, Andrew found himself at a bit of a crossroads, looking for a new opportunity. Through conversations with

friends, the idea of a food truck was presented, and the concept intrigued him. Once he spoke to Honey Blossom (he refers to her simply as Blossom, like the 90s sitcom character) the idea began to take shape. Blossom is Filipino, and over the years she had cooked many traditional Filipino dishes for Andrew. He did a lot of cooking for his family as well and the two of them often assisted one another with various elements of these dishes. She would perhaps make noodles for something he was working on while he would simultaneously smoke meat for one of her dishes. It was from these early forays into combining such unique cultural perspectives on food that Hunny Beez was founded. While the cards seemed to initially stack against them (they were caught up in a nationwide food cart scam which resulted in them buying a $25k cart that did not actually exist and they lost their money!), they were able to subsequently get their hands on an older used truck that had previously seen 30+ years of action in Vega and sported numerous bullet holes! This thing had character and they nicknamed the truck “Murphy,” since anything that could go wrong with it, generally did. Still, in September 2019, with great tenacity and perseverance, they fixed up the truck and opened their first location in Newberg, to rave reviews. Those reviews are well earned. The cuisine they’ve developed at Hunny Beez is simply fantastic! Every meal on the menu is American, Filipino, or (most often) a fusion of the two, and it was all conceived by the minds of Andrew and Blossom. Many of the dishes are Filipino-inspired but with an American twist. Some are vice-versa, but they are all delicious!

Favorite dishes include the Lumpia, which are amazing Filipino spring rolls made with lumpia wrappers (thin filo pastry-like skins enveloping sweet and/ or savory fillings). The outsides are perfectly crispy and delicious in and of themselves, while the various insides burst with incredible flavor. Smoked pulled pork, smoked chopped brisket, veggie, or Shanghai style; every stuffing promises to transport your taste buds to new and amazing heights.

slaw, green onions, sweet chili mayo, sriracha ketchup, and their own, home-made Hunny Beez sauce), and sliders (including Kari Kari pork sliders with peanut sauce on toasted sweet Hawaiian rolls), a kid’s menu, and of course, an abundance of sides and appetizers. They’ve also partnered with a local Newberg business, Gonzalez Bakery, to provide some fantastic desserts.

Their entree plate is another popular dish providing a nice cross section of what they have to offer: meat, 2 sides, and lumpia. They have a terrific selection of sandwiches and burgers, all with some interesting twist on the standard. For those looking for something more traditional, they do have a classic cheeseburger that comes with smoked garlic aioli (that’s the twist) but you can get it without and it’s “just” a great cheeseburger.

This is not a chain, folks! This is two people, Andrew and Blossom, working 50-100 hours per week to bring their specialty foods to you. Everything is made from scratch and fresh daily. All of their extremely high quality meat comes from Corfini Gourmet, and is delivered fresh 2-3 times per week. Their special Hunny Beez sauce, like every recipe on their menu, is made on site from scratch with real ingredients. Nothing is prepackaged. It’s fresh, it’s delicious, and it’s unique to Hunny Beez.

They have a house salad, Bee Hive fries (topped with smoked pulled pork, mango

BUSINESS FEATURE

Chase Willcuts: Unlocking The Door To Home Ownership By Dennis McNabb, Actuve Media Contributing Writer Photos By Kara Langley Photography

ike so many other things these days, one of the most difficult aspects of buying or selling your home is simply finding the right realtor to assist you in the process. The importance of making this decision can’t be overstated. Not only is your home one of the largest, most expensive assets you own, but it’s also your most personal. It’s your space. It’s the one corner of the world you can call your own, your retreat, your safe haven. Aligning yourself with a realtor who will take the time to sincerely get to know you, recognize your needs and desires, and match you with the right properties is imperative. With so many to choose from, that can often be an overwhelming task, and that’s why you should be familiar with Willcuts Company Realtors. Founded by 3 brothers, Mike, Marc, and Matt Willcut in 2005, their thriving business has been a welcome and enduring fixture of the business landscape in Newberg for 16 years. Principal broker Matt has been in the industry since 1994, so he’s seen everything the market has endured so far this century firsthand. By employing a strict adherence to their founding values and hiring only the best real estate brokers in the area, Willcutts has built and maintained their status as the best of the best. These founding values, according to their website, are listed as such: “INTEGRITY: We are an honest and trustworthy advocate for our clients.

PROFESSIONALISM: We have respect for everyone we work with and we represent our clients in a professional manner. EXPERTISE: We have been doing real estate sales for over twenty years. 12 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

RELATIONSHIPS: When you are a Willcuts Company client, you are not seen as a transaction. We value your time, your choice to partner with us and your relationship.” These are the pillars of their business. These values are what drive them to provide the best service, and the best experience for every one of their clients, and they practice strict adherence. Chase Willcut is Marc’s son and a second generation broker. Knowledgeable, warm, and gregarious, Chase says that in his estimation, the most significant value they have to offer (principally and monetarily) is their expertise. By existing as long as they have in the same area, and focusing/specializing in new construction, they have managed to carve out their own niche in the market. Nobody else in Newberg can do what they do at the same exemplary level. Chase himself has a personal connection and passion for his work that’s unique in the industry. He’s considered the “lone wolf ” of sorts at the office because, while most of their focus is planted firmly in the arena of new construction, Chase’s niche in the business is handling older, vintage and historical homes. As he explains it, there is a certain vibe to older homes; a sense of history. They are literally a piece of the city’s legacy, and that is what attracts Chase to this aspect of the market.

It’s a whole different beast, though, compared to what the rest of the office does. With buying and selling older homes, there are many additional considerations that must be taken into account. There are building codes that can sometimes complicate matters greatly, especially with older homes. The codes change as new technology replaces old and as new (and generally stricter) safety guidelines are established and enforced.

and avoiding the pitfalls associated specifically with valuing older homes. While strictly following the 4 founding values of the core company policy,

Chase simultaneously holds himself to the highest standards by maintaining his own philosophy regarding the way he personally handles every transaction. Namely, he has 3 additional pillars he follows which are specific to his role in handling older homes: Flexibility, Precision, and Obedience.

Electrical lines, plumbing, and general materials used in the original construction, can all pose potential obstacles to delay you from selling. At the very least, they can mean costly repairs that will inevitably take a considerable chunk out of your profits.

Flexibility means always being ready to adapt to the challenges associated with unforeseen repairs, with issues occurring during the appraisal process, and with the ever-changing pricing in the market. Precision is the manner with which he operates; handling

vintage and historical homes requires an additional level of precision and attention to detail. Chase aspires to absolute precision in everything he does. Obedience, quite simply, is listening to the client. When it comes to historical properties, there are additional challenges that must be taken into consideration, and Chase has the expertise to navigate each of those obstacles with minimal impact to the client. As a local family-owned and operated business in the truest sense of the term, Willcuts Company Realtors promises the best experience to be had in the real estate industry for Yamhill County. Whether you are looking to buy or sell a brand new construction that still has that newhouse smell, or your heart is set on the charm of an older historical home, look no further than Willcuts. They have the expertise and experience needed to help make your dreams a reality! You can email Chase Willcut at cwillcuts@willcutscompany.com, or visit willcutscompany.com for more information.

Chase is excited to be in the position to assist people facing these very issues. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and up to date on all of the codes, but he has an entire network of people at his disposal (through the realty) who can, if you so choose, make the necessary repairs at a fair price so that you can sell your house without getting bogged down with dwindling profits and unnecessary expenses. He is incredibly adept at managing the appraisal process Newberg Community Advantage Magazine 13

BROKEN TOOTH Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and soothe the tooth. Place an ice pack on the cheek nearest the injury to help keep the swelling down. See your dentist as soon as possible. TOOTHACHES Keep food away from the tooth that hurts. Rinse your mouth with warm water after eating and floss your teeth. If your jaw is swollen, place an ice pack on the cheek that hurts. Do not put heat or aspirin on the painful areas. Toothaches can have a number of causes, such as an unnoticed cavity, gum disease, a crack in a tooth, or a new filling that doesn’t fit right. See the dentist as soon as possible, particularly if swelling is present. MOUTH SORES Avoid acidic foods, such as oranges and pineapples, which can “sting” the sores. Often, sores in the mouth are canker sores, which are small ulcers. Call your dentist if your mouth sores persist for more than two weeks. If you notice any lumps or white patches in or around your mouth, you should see your dentist immediately, as they may indicate a more serious problem. Whenever you have a tooth injury or pain, it’s important to seek care from your dentist as soon as possible. Keep your dentist’s phone number handy!

JOYSTICKS ARCADE

FAMILY FUN

For The Love Of Arcades & Pinball

Unique Arcade Found In Downtown Mac By David Bates, Active Media Contributing Writer Photos by Kara Langley Photography

ince 2010, Mikey’s Pizzeria on Highway 99W in north McMinnville has served up hand-crafted pizzas in a family fun atmosphere with arcade games and large-screen TVs. A couple years ago, owner Mikey Howard spotted a vacancy downtown that would enable him to realize a dream he’s had for awhile: To expand the Mikey’s brand, but with some variations.

Local owners, Mikey and Mandie Howard

Joysticks Arcade & Eatery on Third Street between Baker and Cowls has much the same vibe as Mikey’s Pizzeria, but he’s done some fun and creative things with the state fair-style menu, and added arcade and pinball games—a lot of them. It opened in January 2020 but then closed doors when COVID hit. Mikey pivoted fast. “I still followed all the rules, but I wasn’t going to close my doors, so I brought on all the delivery platforms and we started delivering our new expanded menu,” he said. You can also get pizza at Joysticks Arcade, but it’s unique from what you can enjoy at Mikey’s Pizzeria a couple miles up the road. “At Mikey’s Pizzeria, we put onion rings, fried zucchini, and mozzarella sticks on pizza. I fry up fries, and we throw ’em on top of the pizza and coat them with cheddar cheese.

That style carries over to Joysticks Arcade with Mikey’s own homemade fry bread recipe instead of traditional pizza dough and imaginative pairings like the Galagarlic, which includes garlic butter, mushrooms, olives and cooked tomatoes, or the Smash Bro, which is topped with sausage, blue cheese and jalapenos. You’ll also find a bountiful supply of corn dogs, sliders, wings, with a dessert menu that includes deep-fried Twinkies, Oreos and cotton candy. The taplist includes more than a dozen local draft beers. Mikey is a video game, arcade and pinball aficionado. Over the years, he has acquired an impressive collection of vintage games, from the Nintendo he still has from when he was a child, to pinball machines and arcade games he’s found at garage sales, on Craigslist, auctions, eBay, friends. He even knows how to repair them, though he credits his brother Howie as the in-house technician. “If I can’t fix it, he can,” he said. There are dozens to choose from, from retro games like Pac-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Donkey Kong to newer games like Halo, Outnumbered, and Aliens Armageddon. The pinball machines offer a chance to lose yourself in the worlds of Iron Maiden, Stranger Things, Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar, among many others.

HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF THE YAMHILL SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT By David Bates Active Media Contributing Writer

he Dust Bowl of the 1930s was a disaster that happened nearly a century ago more than a thousand miles away, but it’s not a stretch to say that the Yamhill Soil & Water Conservation District and the work they do in the McMinnville area is a direct result. The Dust Bowl of the Great Plains, which affected more than 100 million acres, was caused by years of heavily cultivating farmlands without doing anything to ensure the long-term health of the soil, which was swept into the sky in “black blizzards,” driving thousands of Americans west and delivering a blow to the nation’s economy. In response, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, declaring that “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself,” established the Soil Conservation District in the U.S. Agriculture Department. In 1937, all states were encouraged to launch locally-controlled efforts to promote and conserve soil health. Today, the U.S. has nearly 3,000 such districts, one in almost every county. In 1939, the Oregon Legislature authorized the creation of such districts. The Yamhill Soil Conservation District was founded in the spring of 1953. The first board included Frank Geisler, Aubrey Tangen,

Ivan Dent, Louie Magee, Jack Shelbourne, Rex Brown, and also a WWII veteran and Oregon State University agriculture graduate named Stanley Christensen, who became the board’s chairman the following year and served until 2004. At the time, the district had no local funding. According to the 1953 annual report, the district’s balance was $107.87, donated by board members who were inspired by the conservation movement. “It felt like we were doing some good with natural resources,” Christensen said in a newspaper interview in 2003. The district initially focused on providing technical assistance to area farmers on drainage, irrigation water management and woodland management. During the first quarter century or so of the district’s life, more than 2,500 miles of field drainage tile were installed on local farms in cooperation with the district. With an eye to educating the public, the district in 1961 also began supporting an outdoor school. “Water” was added to the district’s name in 1963. Seven years later, the YSWCD partnered with the OSU Extension Service to launch the Cruickshank Woodland Tour, which is still an annual event, held on the Cruickshank family’s Three Oaks Farm near Dayton. As the district’s focus turned to wetland protection in the 1980s, the board realized that they would need stable funding. Christensen and other board members made their case to voters, many of whom by now had enjoyed a positive experience in dealing with the YSWCD. In 1984, voters overwhelmingly approved a tax base, making Yamhill the first in Oregon to do so. This enabled the district to hire staff to provide specialized technical support to the community on conservation efforts. In 1990, the district sponsored its first native plant sale, starting an annual tradition that has served ever since to expand the dialogue with area residents, whether they live in the city or the country, to use native plants in their gardens, yards, riparian areas and on their farms. Since 1990, the district has sold more than one million seedlings. Some of the YSWCD’s most high-profile projects have been the establishment of conservation easements, which are voluntary but legal agreements that permanently limit a property’s use so that conservation values are a top priority. The district currently holds four such easements, including Miller Woods, a popular natural outdoor education area northwest of McMinnville. The 131 acres

was bequeathed to the district in 2003 by Frieda Miller. Headed by long-time area farmer Larry Ojua, the YSWCD’s staff of more than half a dozen stand ready to assist any property owner in the district, which is contained within the boundaries of Yamhill County, with a variety of land stewardship issues, including:

Weed Control

Invasive species are a constant threat in Oregon, even threatening the safety of drinking water. If you need help identifying them — and then dealing with them — the YSWCD is an essential resource.

Wildlife Habitat

It’s estimated that only about one percent of native prairie habitat remains in its native condition in the Pacific Northwest, which means it’s tougher for native species that depend on those areas to survive. Armed with the right information, you can help.

Soil Health

That healthy soil means productive land is a lesson that goes back to the district’s origins. Visit the YSWCD website for information and links to resources that can help keep the soil on your property productive for years to come.

Pesticide Stewardship

Years ago, testing in several sites in Yamhill County showed high concentrations and frequencies of pesticides in Palmer Creek and Cozine Creek, which ultimately drain into the Yamhill River. The district has been working on that problem ever since

in partnerships with local groups and organizations.

Backyard Habitat

Creating backyard habitat takes a bit of planning, and the district can provide suggestions to those who embark on “nature-scaping” in their own yard. There’s plenty of information on the website, including what you need to know about bird houses and bee boxes. These are just a few of the programs and resources available through the Yamhill SWCD. Much more information can be found on the agency’s website. Also, be sure to check out the district’s calendar of regularly scheduled meetings and upcoming events this year. The Yamhill Soil & Water Conservation District is located at 2200 SW 2nd Street in McMinnville. The building is currently closed to the public, but regular office hours are weekdays 8 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 503-472-6403 or visit the website at www.yamhillswcd.org.

ARTS & CULTURE

CHEHALEM VALLEY DANCE ACADEMY

DANCE SKILLS ARE LIFE SKILLS By David Bates Active Media Contributing Writer Photos by Erica Ann Photography & Fine Art

risten Stoller embodies Chehalem Valley Dance Academy’s motto, “Dance Skills are Life Skills.” Growing up in McMinnville, she first danced at the community center when she was 11 years old. It was a positive experience, one that gave her the life skills to do what she’s doing now: She is the artistic director and owner of Chehalem Valley Dance Academy. “How we express ourselves matters, our discipline, what it takes to achieve a goal, the importance of diligence and determination, how to work individually and in a team,” Kristen says. “We are dynamic beings who can both create art and execute challenging athletic skills. That is what makes dance such an incredible activity for youth.” For nearly a quarter century, CVDA has enriched the area’s cultural life while offering dance (and life skills) training to thousands of local youth. The Newberg studio opened in 1996, and a second studio was added in McMinnville in 2008.

Typically, the academy offers two sessions: a 9-month fall-spring session and an 8-week summer session. Hundreds of students take the classes and then perform in annual showcases, local venues, parades and a benefit Nutcracker performance (in Newberg) that has raised more than $155,000 for local charities in the last decade. When Covid shut down in-person classes, CVDA went virtual. The school did door drops of mats, tap floors, props and other supplies for students. By April 2020, all students were taking classes over Zoom. “Our staff rocked it!” Kristen said. Her team of alumni and “local rockstars” include operations manager Lindsey Palmer and instructors Karley Styles, Courtney Guillmette, and Lauren Krebs. “We are so thankful for the amazing families that stuck with us!” Kristen said. “We feel loved and supported.” Kristen says CVDA has “all the precautions” for students returning to the McMinnville and Newberg studios this summer, when classes in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, tumbling, and more will be offered for ages 2-adult. In an era of quick fixes, Kristen adds, “dance teaches you the long game. Dance teaches you that you are a human with different feelings and a different story and the ability to share it freely, safely, and in your dynamic ways,” she said. “ That your voice and your expression are both art and athletics. You may need to make adjustments to make something work, and that is not a failed path but a journey around, under, over, or back in order to find your way.” CVDA’s alumni have found their way all over the United States doing amazing things with their careers and families. And yes … many of them are still dancing. Chehalem Valley Dance Academy has two locations: 311 E 1st Street in Newberg and 206 NE Evans Street in McMinnville.

SEASONAL

Celebrate National Rose Month In Portland

By Jenna Preston, Active Media Contributing Writer

une has been recognized as National Rose Month since 1959, when it was part of an effort to designate the rose as our national flower. The latter event didn’t actually occur until President Reagan made it official in 1986, but for over 6 decades now the month of June has been widely and formally recognized as the perfect time to enjoy the beauty of roses. As all Portland-metro area residents know, there is nowhere better in the country to celebrate National Rose Month than in the City of Roses! The incredible Rose Festival would, in normal years, be the most iconic way to do so, but in 2020 and 2021 celebrations were canceled due to public health restrictions. Don’t let that stop you from getting out and smelling the beautiful flowers, though! Here are the best places to go for optimal rose viewing (and sniffing) around the city this month: The Portland International Rose Test Garden - As anyone who has ever visited will know, this is the place to go for all things roses. The garden features more than 650 varieties and over 10,000 individual rose bushes, making it the largest public rose garden in the entire country. The garden serves as a testing ground for new rose varieties, and in its earliest days roses were sent from around the world to Portland for testing, and in the hopes of preserving them from the ravages of World War I.

Situated in Washington Park in the West Hills of Portland, the garden features stunning views of the city and admission is free. That means it’s a very popular place to visit, especially in June and throughout the summer, and parking can be extremely limited. It’s recommended to visit early in the day to avoid peak crowds, and once you’re in the park you can use a free seasonal shuttle to explore more of the park. See ExploreWashingtonPark.org for more information. Peninsula Park Rose Garden - Peninsula Park, located in North Portland, was actually home to the city’s very first rose garden. The garden was established in 1913 and was the original location of the annual rose show, before festivities were moved to Washington Park in 1917. The Peninsula Park Garden, though smaller than the Test Garden, remains a stunning place to visit and enjoy not only the blooming flowers, but also the ornamental fountain, street lamps, brick walkways, and music pavilion. The gazebo-like structure was designated a Portland Historic Landmark in 1973 and is the last of its kind in the city. The park is often reserved for weddings, so keep that in mind when visiting! Ladd Circle Park & Rose Gardens - Located on the East side of the Willamette between Hawthorne Blvd and Division Street, the Ladd Circle Rose Garden is a small but wonderful place to drink in the beauty of early summer in Portland. Named for Portland settler, business tycoon, and mayor William Sargent Ladd, the formal landscape of the park was designed in 1909 by Park Superintendent Emanuel Mische. It features 4 diamond shaped rose gardens, containing over 3,000 roses and 60 different varieties in total. Pittock Mansion - Returning to the West Hills, the jaw-dropping Pittock Mansion is worth touring in its own right, but if you don’t have the time or simply can’t bear to be indoors on a glorious early summer day, be sure to at least walk through the gardens and take in the amazing views. You’ll also find 100 different species of roses to enjoy as you stroll. It’s free to explore the grounds and you may even find a free walking tour to join! *info from embracesomeplace.com and portland.gov/parks

SERVICE ABOVE SELF NEWBERG ROTARIANS: DOING GOOD IN OUR COMMUNITY Springtime is not just for vibrant colors and new growth, it’s also Scholarship Season! As local high school seniors consider what their future holds, the Newberg Rotary Noon Club is on the scene, ready to offer financial assistance in the form of scholarships to those interested in attending additional schooling or training after graduation. Whether a student is headed for a university, community college, or vocational training, Rotary has a scholarship to help!

to the Foundation are tax deductible. In addition to scholarships, the NRF funds a wide variety of youth activities, projects and services.

Rotary Scholarships are awarded to graduating seniors from Newberg high schools (public and private) and St. Paul High School, on the basis of their application. Applicants submit an application, two essays, letters of recommendation and in most cases, a transcript (though grades are not always a limiting factor to receive a scholarship.) Key factors include a student’s service to the community or on the job, engagement in high school activities or sports, as well as personal, educational, and career goals. Letters of recommendation from teachers, coaches, pastors, supervisors and others are also important elements in securing a scholarship.

Your participation and financial support of this fun community event has tangible results in the lives of Newberg, Dundee, and St. Paul youth. Watch for information on our next auction, being held on October 29, 2021, and get ready to attend! You can play a part in the lives of our high school seniors, moving on to build their futures thanks in part to Rotary Scholarships. Attend the auction and support students like Macy Showalter.

Last year, the Newberg Rotary Noon Club awarded $51,000 to 38 amazing students in the following seven scholarship categories: College & University; Community College / Vocational-Technical School; and scholarships named for individuals who have been leaders in service to our local community: Crystal Dawn Smith Rilee, Joan Austin, Ken Austin, Larry Bohnsack, and Ray Simonson. Complete information about each individual scholarship, along with the application is available on the Club’s Scholarship webpage (NewbergRotary.org/scholarships). Scholarship application season has closed for 2021. The Rotary Scholarship Committee is reviewing applications from 28 students; awards will be announced May 27. Funds for the Rotary scholarships come from the Newberg Rotary Foundation (NRF) which was founded in 1971 and separate from the Newberg Rotary Club(s). As an IRC Sec. 501(C)3 organization, contributions

A major source of funding for the Foundation comes from the Rotary Auction. The auction includes both silent and live auction opportunities and a paddle raise. Here’s a peek at some of the items auctioned off last October 2020 (Nrc2020.ggo.bid/bidding/package-browse).

Macy is a Newberg High School graduate of the class of 2020, now studying Environmental Science at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Macy was awarded the Ray Simonson Scholarship in 2020 for her exemplary service to community, citizenship and respect for others. Upon receiving the scholarship, Macy told us “Not only has this scholarship been such a stress reliever, but it’s also allowed me to be recognized, my voice heard, and my character seen and valued. I’m thankful that I have Rotary to back me and know that they’re supporting me through this journey.”

Macy Showalter 2020 Ray Simpson Scholarship recipient

Rotary is honored to play a part in the lives of young people like Macy who are working for a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.

DELP’S DETAIL GARAGE

A Clean Car Makes Us Feel Like All Is Right In The World Written by Dennis McNabb, Active Media Writer Photos by Kara Langley Photography

here’s nothing quite like that new car smell. Every time we sit behind the wheel, it gives us a sense of calm; a sense of order. Even when the rest of our lives may be in turmoil or disarray, a clean car makes us feel like all is right in the world. If only we could make it last... We try though, don’t we? We buy an endless array of gadgets that clip to our vents or cardboard trees that hang from our mirrors in unsuccessful attempts to mask the funk that invades. Mildew, coffee spills, and pets all unite in an effort to spoil our sanctuary, and it makes for a heady stew. Combating that with a tiny piece of scented cardboard is like showing up with a knife to a gunfight. It’s not the right tool for the job. Who has the tools? Delp’s Detail Garage! Jason Delp, owner and operator along with his wife, Jennie, has been doing this kind of work on and off for over 20 years. Although his attention has been diverted elsewhere during certain periods over the years, he’s always come back to auto detailing. It’s what he loves. When he and Jennie discussed returning to the industry last year, they decided it was time to open their own business. In March of COVID (that’s how Jennie referred to 2020, which gave us all a good laugh), Delp’s Detail Garage was born.

When it comes to regaining that new car feel; that new car smell; nobody does it better. Jason and Jennie are both truly dedicated to the cause. They are committed to over delivering on their promise and making happy customers. Clearly, in talking with them and learning about the process, there is a fine art to superior auto detailing. Most places will return your vehicle looking shiny but not clean, and that distinction is what sets Delp’s at the top of the pack. Yes, you can take your vehicle to a dealership or a quick-clean operation that will return your vehicle looking fairly spiffy, but it doesn’t last. Why? Because a lot of the cleaning supplies used are substandard and can actually damage those delicate finishes. Many leave a residue which gets sticky, and consequently attracts dirt, so after a few days, the vehicle looks worse than before you took it in! At Delp’s they use only the best supplies. They leave no residue, and more importantly, do not damage your finish. A typical interior should not shine. Plastic, leather, and metal generally have more of a matte finish. Delp’s works to return your vehicle to its natural luster–clean and beautiful, not inappropriately shiny! When Delp’s takes your vehicle in for a detail, they work only on your vehicle! They take in one customer per day–that’s it! This is not a race. They do the most thorough job in the industry, and the whole process is contactless! They will pick up and deliver your vehicle to you. They do interior, exterior, and even engines/engine compartments! Of special note is their ozone generator treatments, which kill bacteria. Especially during a time of pandemic, that is a great service. Buy a detail and they’ll tack on the ozone treatment for free! Not only do they provide all that for their customers, but as a thank you to the communities they serve, 10% of their gross revenue goes straight off the top to charitable organizations. Talk about an amazing and one of a kind gem of a business! Delp’s is locally owned and operated, and dedicated to your complete satisfaction. Regain that new car smell by taking your vehicle to Delp’s today! Delp’s Detail Garage is located at 23375 NE Hyland Dr in Newberg.

HISTORY

A RITE OF PASSAGE FOR OREGONIANS Enchanted Forest

Written By Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer

o anyone who grew up in Oregon, or even anyone who has driven the I-5 corridor through Turner (south of Salem), you will be familiar with the fantastic little gem of a roadside attraction known as the Enchanted Forest. Many readers looking at this story will be swept away by warm feelings of nostalgia. It seems that virtually everyone who spent time in Oregon as a child has made at least one visit to this magical place. When the topic comes up among friends of a certain age, stares begin to wander, countenances begin to soften; eyes moisten. It’s a different response than you get when you mention big money efforts like Disneyland, or Magic Mountain. It’s not as wide-eyed or excited as that perhaps, but I’d argue, it’s deeper. It’s more profound because the Enchanted Forest takes us through a portal to a better time; a simpler time; a more innocent time. It’s a treasure to so many of us, and it’s one we need to protect. It all began in the mid 60’s. Roger Tofte had retired from the Navy after the Korean War and was working for the Oregon State Highway Department as a draftsman and artist. He’d always had a very artistic creative side but hadn’t had much opportunity to put it to use. When he took his family on a long road trip, he realized that many other states had attractions, various examples of glorious Americana, but there was very little in Oregon. He saw a vision, and without hesitation, got to work on it. The original section of the park, the Storybook Trail, was that vision and it was his alone. He drew up the plans and did almost all of the work himself. He had some help from friends and family, of course, but the vast majority of it was just Roger out there digging holes with shovels.

Owner Roger Tofte He initially thought it might take about 2 years to complete. It took 7! But he persevered and on Sunday, Aug. 8th, 1971, they opened. It was an instant success! That first weekend, they had 75 people. The following weekend, after they had an article in the Statesman Journal, over 1000 people showed up! Roger continued to work full-time for another year until he was sure he could support his family, then he devoted himself to the park 100% and never looked back. I had the pleasure of speaking with Susan Vasley, one of Roger’s daughters (and one of the current co-managers of the park), and I was incredibly moved by her story; by the whole family’s story. Since it opened, this park has been their life. They grew up here. It was dad’s vision; it was his dream, but the entire family was involved in it. There are family businesses...and then there is the Enchanted Forest! It was the 70’s and of course, there were no child labor laws. Nobody even thought about that kind of stuff back then. If you were capable, you helped out. It was as simple as that. And they did; all of them, and they loved it! Susan, who was 14 at the time, worked the entrance building. Her sister Mary (who is the second current co-manager), worked the food stand and was only 9 years old. Their brother, Ken, kept all the trash picked up and the trails cleaned. He was aged 12. And

their littlest sister, Lori, who wiped tables in the food area was at the ripe old age of 4! Mavis, their mother worked behind the scenes. She had a mind for business which allowed Roger to focus on the creative. It was the perfect balance. And so things went. In the following years, Roger consistently built onto the park. The Tofteville western park was constructed in year 2 with the Haunted House coming shortly after. The Comedy Theatre followed next and then the famed Ice Mountain Bobsled roller coaster (the first ride to require some professional outside help) made its debut. Then came the Old Europe Village with it’s Jolly Roger Water-Light Show, the Big Timber Log Ride (the 2nd big ride), and most recently, the hugely popular Challenge of Mondor ride!

got bigger and outside help was enlisted, the Tofte family have been the driving force behind every decision. Roger has continued as artistic director, working on every structure and hand painting every design element himself. In fact, at 91 years old,

This past year has been difficult for all of us. For the Enchanted Forest, it has been devastating. Prior to COVID, they were in great shape, but they have a lot of annual fixed costs which they need to pay whether they are open or not (insurance, ride maintenance, employee payroll, etc.). They were able to open last season but only at a fraction of their full capacity. At the end of last season, the reality of their situation was that they needed $500,000 just to open back up this year. A GoFundMe was set up and the community came to the rescue, raising almost the entire amount needed. The Tofte family is so grateful to everyone who came out in support and they were able to plan to reopen this year with your help.

It seems that virtually everyone who spent time in Oregon as a child has made at least one visit to this magical place.

Interspersed throughout, they’ve added several other smaller rides, and expanded on some of the existing themed areas. All the while, Roger and the entire family have worked side by side to make his dreams— dreams which were now shared by his children and by children all over the state and beyond—a reality. Even as the rides

Roger still works at the park every day. That just goes to show that when you do what you love, it’s not work! Susan and Mary have the same balanced relationship that Roger and Mavis did back in the early days. Susan is the creative force (she actually writes and directs all of their plays, composes and records all of the music played throughout the park and performs in the house band!) while Mary takes care of all of the business.

Tragically, then the ice storm hit in February and caused mass destruction across the property. Hundreds of trees came down, damaging multiple exhibits and rides and a huge chunk of that money they had received from your generous donations, had to be redirected towards the clean-up rather than the day-to-day costs of keeping them open. Susan is optimistic and hopeful they can make up some ground this year, but the fact is, the park is dangerously close to having to close their doors, possibly for good. The Enchanted Forest is a special place, folks. There is literally nothing else quite like it. It is the realization of one man’s dream and his family’s love and continued support. Generations of kids have walked its magical paths and been “enchanted” by its fairytalecome-to-life exhibits and rides. This August is their 50th Anniversary. We need them for 50 more! Visit the park this summer. Bring your kids. Bring your friends! Bring your kids’ friends! And please, if you’re able, donate on their GoFundMe page: Enchanted Forest Family-owned Theme Park Survival. Newberg Community Advantage Magazine 45

National Olive Day, on June 1st each year, celebrates one of the world’s oldest fruits. The olive is part of a traditional meze/tapas culinary experience that brings families and friends around the table rather than in the kitchen sharing time together. Another symbol we receive from this delicious fruit is the olive branch. As a symbol of peace, hope, love and friendship, it’s another excellent reason to celebrate the day and acknowledge the joy this little fruit provides.
