đ&#x;?‚ FOOD CREATIVE VEGAN STUFFING RECIPE FOR A THANKSGIVING TWIST ➥ LEANNE
HARLOFF
Thanksgiving is so close you can almost smell it. In less than a week, the usual favorites are sure to be seen on tables across the country: mashed potatoes, turkey (or Tofurky), cranberry sauce, mouthwatering stuffing and more. Many families alter some dishes slightly to add a twist to classic recipes. These three unique stuffing dishes will provide you with new ideas to bring home for Thanksgiving this year. Vegan Sourdough Stuffing What you’ll need: 12 loosely packed cups of sourdough bread (To get this, cut 2 medium-sized loaves of sourdough bread into small squares) Ÿ cup olive oil 1 cup onion, diced 1 cup celery, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups mushrooms, sliced 1 tablespoon thyme 1 tablespoon rosemary 1 tablespoon ground sage ½ cup fresh chopped parsley 3 cups vegetable broth salt and pepper
SABRINA IONESCU EARNS FIRST PAC-12 FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK AWARD ➥ J O N AT H A N
H AW T H O R N E , @ J O N _ H AW T H O R N E
With seven freshmen on the roster, Oregon women’s basketball has a chance to earn a good share of the conference’s weekly freshman of the week awards. Sabrina Ionescu, the program’s highest ranked recruit, was first to pick up the award for Oregon this season after helping the Ducks to a pair of wins, the Pac-12 announced Monday. The Walnut Creek, California, native tallied her first career double-double against CSU Bakersfield (14 points, 10 rebounds), then recorded 26 points
against UT San Antonio, along with a team-high eight rebounds. Over the weekend, Ionescu shot 50 percent from the field and 53.8 percent from 3-point range (7-of-13). “My mindset changed a little bit,� Ionescu said after the game on Sunday. “I definitely got in the gym and shot a lot. Today during warmups, I was not missing, so I shot the ball.� UCLA’s Jordin Canada earned Pac12 player of the week honors. The Ducks play Michigan State on Tuesday at 8 p.m. at Matthew Knight Arena.
What to do: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Place sourdough cubes on a baking pan and place in oven until toasted golden brown (about 10-15 minutes) Remove cubes from oven and place in a mixing bowl In a large saucepan, add olive oil, onion, celery and garlic SautÊ 5 minutes or until soft Add mushrooms, thyme, rosemary and ground sage SautÊ 6 minutes or until mushrooms are softened Add broth and salt and pepper to taste Simmer for 2-3 minutes Take off of heat and stir in bread cubes Place mixture into a baking dish and cover with foil Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes Remove from oven, let cool and enjoy! Tip: If the mixture seems too watery before baking, add more bread cubes to the mix. Also, feel free to use other types of bread if you don’t want to use sourdough. Any kind of bread can be prepared in the same way.

hy roll dice or tap away on a controller when you can decode the secret message and find the hidden door yourself? The hostess at Dare Escape Rooms instructs groups of 2-6 patrons to close their eyes as she leads them into the dark and musty room. After the door closes and a few awkward moments of fumbling for the light they’ll see a room that could be straight out of a private eye movie from the ‘50s. There’s a wardrobe, cupboards, a desk and a suitcase in the corner, all locked. The walls are covered with old maps and postcards and it won’t be long before the participants notice the clues. Some might think this sounds like a good time on a Friday night. Others might a see it as a profitable business venture. Turns out it might be both, depending on your tastes and the local market. The premise of an escape room is to plant several people in a room filled with puzzles, riddles and
clues. The group is given a set of basic instructions. They have 60 minutes to escape, with hints provided as needed. The challenges faced might involve decoding the combination to a lock, piecing together a narrative, finding hidden compartments or any number of mysterious tasks. “An escape room is an immersive environment in the sense that you are surrounded by a setting that utilizes embedded puzzles. They’re part of the scenery, part of the decorations. You need them to figure things out and escape,” said Jamie Carwile, coowner of a local escape room. In August, two escape room businesses opened in Eugene. First came Trapdoor Escape Rooms, created and run by Jamie Carwile and Gabe Billings, two long time friends and former stay-at-home dads. Dare Escape Rooms opened within the same week. It is owned and operated by Michelle Dee. Dee first learned about escape rooms while visiting
her daughter in Colorado Springs, Colorado. While looking for something to do, they came across an escape room called Enter The Room in Manitou Springs. Dee was amazed at how much fun she had, and afterwards the idea of spending her time surrounded by puzzles stuck with her. “After I left there, all I could think about was puzzles,” said Dee. “Everything I saw was a puzzle, a mystery or a code. I just couldn’t shake it.” Dee surprised her former co-workers at Grass Roots Marketing, a natural food broker, when she told them she would be leaving to start her own escape room business. “It seemed to come out of left field,” said Sage Sharer, one of Dee’s former coworkers. “It didn’t seem like something she had been thinking about, but it sounded like she was passionate about doing it.” Dee quit her job in March and began working to finance her new business.
Michelle Dee’s escape room contains a number of odd objects that can help lead participants to an exit. (Amanda Shigeoka)

‘Phineas and Ferb’ co-creator fundraises in Eugene for nephew’s benefit (Creative Commons)
➥
S A R A R O S A D AV I E S , @ S R O S I E D O S I E
Family is clearly important to Dan Povenmire, co-creator of Disney’s Phineas and Ferb and Disney XD show Milo Murphy’s Law. He has created multiple characters in his shows based on people in his life. For instance, Isabella, a side character from Phineas and Ferb, is based on his eldest daughter of the same name. A girl in his newest show, Milo Murphy’s Law, is based on his younger daughter who felt jealous of her older sister’s televised persona. Sometimes he doesn’t realize he’s creating them, though. Tina Povenmire-Kirk, Dan’s younger sister, told the Emerald that her brother used a high-pitched voice when they played as kids. That tone eventually became the voice used for Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the evil professor on Phineas and Ferb. Family is bringing Povenmire to Eugene this Thanksgiving weekend. On Saturday, Nov. 26, from 2-4:30 p.m., Povenmire will speak at a fundraiser for his nephew Sullivan Kirk, a one-year-old with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. It will be at the First United Methodist Church in Eugene, located at 1376 Olive St. Kirk has had two open heart surgeries because the left half of his heart was not properly developed at birth. Both surgeries were before he was seven months old. Povenmire and his family are aiming to raise funds for the cost of Sullivan’s upcoming surgery and subsequent recovery. “He’s the happiest and sweetest child in the world,� Povenmire said of his nephew.

Even just a few years ago, medical science was not capable of keeping someone with this condition alive, said Povenmire. Prenatal screenings and other tests can now detect a condition like HLHS. “It’s a small miracle that he lived after birth,� Povenmire said. “We’re hoping that he can come through this with flying colors.� Povenmire will sign autographs, answer questions about his work and even do the voice of Phineas and Ferb’s infamous Dr. Doofenshmirtz, all for a suggested $10 donation. Povenmire spoke fondly of his childhood in Mobile, Alabama — where his wild summers formed the basis for Phineas and Ferb’s endless school vacation. His time in television also includes work on Family Guy and Rocko’s Modern Life. But Povenmire said the work he’s most proud of is Phineas and Ferb because it’s a show that appealed to adults as easily as children. “Forty percent of our audience on Phineas were adults,� Povenmire said. “It was the first time that had ever happened on a Disney Channel show.� When Disney executives would question his jokes, Povenmire argued that as long as they didn’t make the audience change the channel, the jokes would be fine. One episode that exemplifies this sense of humor is “Tip of the Day.� Povenmire said that not many people on the show’s production team knew what the tip of a shoelace was called. (It’s called an aglet.)
This turned into an episode where Phineas and Ferb raise “aglet awareness.� “Everybody looked at me like I was an idiot,� Povenmire said of the meeting. “And I said, ‘No, no we should absolutely do that.’ Everyone asked how that would work and I said, ‘I don’t know. We’ll figure it out.’ That became a lot of people’s favorite episode.� The “Aglet Song� featured in the episode is a fan favorite. There’s an undercurrent of humor and positivity that runs through Povenmire’s work, whether it means coming up with new characters or helping his family out during hard times. His new show, Milo Murphy’s Law, developed accidentally. Povenmire was creating a character for another pitch, but found himself thinking about the character (who later became Milo Murphy) more than the pitch itself. “I drew him to look like a friend of ours that’s super positive all the time and I was like, ‘What would Noah look like when he was in middle school?’ � Povenmire said. “I drew this little caricature of what I thought Noah would look like and I just liked it so much that I wrote ‘indescribably positive’ next to it.� When asked how the Eugene community can support his nephew, Povenmire said his family would appreciate any help people are able to give. Whether that means raising awareness for Kirk’s heart condition or coming to the event this Saturday, anything counts.

Sunday, Nov. 27: Grateful Dead Jam at HiFi Music Hall (44 E 7th Ave.), 8 p.m., free, 21+ Come see the Jerryatrics, a tribute band named after deceased frontman Jerry Garcia, perform live Grateful Dead covers in true jam band style. The Grateful Dead was a big part of the artistic counterculture movement in the 1960s, and their concerts served as massive hippie gatherings. They are one of the first jam bands, a status they developed by turning five-minute studio songs into unique 20-minute jams on stage. Their brand of psychedelic rock is a fun, experimental take on youth, with elements of country and blues thrown in for good measure. This is a great opportunity for locals who missed out on seeing Grateful Dead live, people who did see them and want to reminisce over past shows or for anyone who just likes to jam out and get groovy on the dance floor.

ANNIE GET YOUR GUN 7:30 p.m. The John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts, E. Broadway & High St, Eugene, OR 97401 With a heartwarming book by veteran librettists Dorothy and Herbert Fields and a flat-out brilliant score by Irving Berlin, Annie Get Your Gun was a smash hit when it opened in 1946 and has lifted the spirits of young and old ever since. The plot is classic musical comedy: a lighthearted, totally predictable, completely untrue, and thoroughly enjoyable telling of the love story of reallife sharpshooters Annie Oakley (1860-1926) and Frank Butler (1847-1926), set in the late 19th century world of Wild West-themed vaudeville which made Annie internationally famous. Plenty of laughs, more than a few wise insights into the age-old foibles of the human condition, and simply a ton of classic songs, including “Doin’ What Comes Natur’lly”, “You Can’t Get a Man With a Gun”, “Moonshine Lullabye”, “They Say It’s Wonderful”, “My Defenses Are Down”, “There’s No Business Like Show Business”, “I Got The Sun in The Morning”, and “Anything You Can Do”. What can we say? It’s a perfect holiday outing for the entire family! In 2006 The Shedd Institute presented Peter Stone’s 1999 “updated” revision of the show. Since that time, we’ve made a special effort to mount as many of our musicals as possible in their original version, and in that tradition this December we are pleased to present to you the 1946 original!

Michelle Dee’s escape room, Dare Escape Rooms, is one of two that opened in Eugene in August. (Amanda Shigeoka)
“After talking to my husband, I told him, ‘I feel like this is my calling; I feel like I need to do this. It’s perfect for me and I want to offer it to Eugene,’ ” said Dee. She faced difficulties at first as local landlords were hesitant to rent space to a business venture they hadn’t heard of before. “Nobody in Eugene knew what an escape room was,” Dee said. But according to Dee, her business has become popular since opening its doors. Organizations from across Oregon have booked sessions as part of team training and bonding exercises, including local Dutch Bros. store managers and a group of hospital staff members from Roseburg. Dee currently runs two escape rooms at Dare Escape: the time-travelling World Explorer room and the zombieinfested Crazy Carnival Midway room. Dee designs and creates her own puzzles. She often finds inspiration by
browsing local thrift shops and antique stores, looking for props and trinkets to incorporate into her puzzles. The other location in town, Trapdoor Escape Rooms, is located on the northwest side of downtown Eugene. Carwile and Billings have known each other since the late ‘90s. Carwile used to work as a middle school science teacher and Billings has a background in computer
“Everything I saw was a puzzle, a mystery or a code. I just couldn’t shake it.”
MICHELLE DEE, owner of Dare Escape Rooms science, which the pair uses to help design and build their own puzzles using a combination of technology and clever thinking. After visiting several escape rooms in San Francisco and Seattle, BIllings began taking notes and writing down puzzle ideas of his own that he felt would make a good escape room. “We were trying to find a way to take all these random puzzles and make them into an escape room,” Billings said. “After visiting a few, we felt they work better if there’s some unifying theme.” Their escape room, The Mystic’s Lair, has a fortune teller theme, where patrons must solve a series of supernaturally themed puzzles. Escape rooms in larger cities, such as Portland or Seattle, generally receive several bookings each day, but Carwile and Billings are satisfied with their growth so far. Currently, the two get roughly 5-8 groups per week visiting their business and have also been approached by local companies. They recently put together a puzzlesolving competition for the 45-person staff of the local Home Depot. “As long as we’re not losing, or even just making a little bit of money, I would do this just as a hobby,” said Billings. “There’s some people who think this is a huge a cash cow
and make a lot of money doing this, but the room makes enough to pay for itself ... and a little more.” Jeff Richards, a Eugene local and graduate of the University of Oregon, has visited both Dare Escape and Trapdoor’s escape rooms. “The overall quality of the rooms was fantastic and I enjoyed my time there a lot,” Richards said. Richards is excited to visit several escape rooms in Corvallis and Salem as well. The only thing he dislikes about escape rooms: “You can really only do each escape room one time. It’s kind of a unique experience and once you’ve solved the puzzles in a room, you’ve solved it.” But that’s a problem that Carwile, Billings and Dee are working to counter. The three are constantly working on new puzzles and ideas for entirely new rooms. Carwile and Billings are currently planning to expand their business with a sci-fi themed room. Dee is also looking at a new location where she is hoping to open a speakeasy themed room. Dee plans to stay open over the holidays to provide local Eugene families with a unique way to spend time together. “We want to be open on Thanksgiving and Christmas when families are just kind of sitting around. When together with my family, I know I’ve wanted something other than just the movies,” said Dee. “Watching people interact with family they haven’t seen in awhile, there’s so many laughs, it’s so rewarding. I love it.”
If you’re interested in visiting one of these local escape rooms, Dare Escape Rooms, located at 2160 W. 11th Ave #I, has two rooms for 2-6 people: the Explorer Room for $25 a person and Crazy Carnival Midway for $30 per person. You can learn more at dareescaperooms.com. Trapdoor Escape Rooms, located at 436 Charnelton St., has one room, The Mystic’s Lair, for 2-8 people at $30 a person or $150 for the whole room.

No Mr. President, we won’t let you Donald Trump holds a rally at the Lane Events Convention Center in Eugene, Oregon on May 6, 2016. (Adam Eberhardt)
A principle of democracy is that governments rule by the consent of the governed. So what are we to do with a president who doesn’t respect the concept of consent? Donald Trump, who ran a campaign that closely resembled an insult comic tour — ‘Tired Jeb,’ ‘Little Marco,’ ‘Lyin Ted’ and ‘Crooked Hillary’ — is unavoidably our next president. While we must accept the results of the electoral college, we need not acquiesce to the buffoonery and bigotry that Trump has spewed. Simply accepting the results and “coming together as Americans� is an insult to the sexual assault survivors and minorities who have been targeted by the chauvinist, racist and xenophobic language of Trump. While President-elect Trump may be a diluted version of his acerbic campaign persona, we need to be vigilant against the policies he has embraced and make sure his regime does not undermine democracy and lead us down the path to fascism. Trump’s campaign statements and 100 day plan contain specific policies that we the people simply cannot accept. Mr. President, we won’t let you discriminate against people based on their religion. We cannot accept federal policies that discriminate against people based on their religion. Parts of Trump’s proposed immigration policies explicitly and unabashedly dismiss the ideals of our country, which was founded by people escaping religious persecution and guarantees freedom of religion as a constitutional right. Mr. President, we won’t let you commit war crimes. We cannot let Trump fulfill his promise to bomb alleged terrorists without regard for civilian PA G E 6

casualties or reinstate torture as American policy. The American people and U.S. military cannot adopt Trump’s flippant approach toward international law and the Geneva Conventions. Refusing to obey international laws will only reinforce the narratives of terrorist radicalization and undermine the security of our armed forces, our country and the world. Mr. President, we won’t let you continue to harass, abuse, demean and objectify women. We cannot allow Trump’s treatment of women to go unanswered. The willingness of the American electorate to choose a man who boasts about watching teenage girls changing clothes at beauty pageants, kissing women without permission and grabbing them “by the pussy� is utterly reprehensible. Forgiving these crimes and statements or writing them off as “locker room talk� is an insult to Trump’s victims and all victims of sexual assault. Mr. President, we won’t let you ruin our environment. We cannot allow Trump and his industry allies to roll back climate change agreements and open up a free-for-all for fossil fuel extraction in the United States. Withdrawing from the Paris Climate Change agreement and pushing forward the Keystone XL pipeline are but a few early indications of Trump’s potentially disastrous environmental policies. We cannot mortgage the inheritance of future generations for a chance at short-term profit. Mr. President, we won’t let you deny the freedom of press. We can not accept Trump’s unprecedented denial of access and threats to sue journalists who are critical of his campaign. These are direct attacks on the freedom of press that is the
lifeblood of any democracy. While this list of unacceptable behaviors is not comprehensive, it is representative of the threats to the fundamental tenets of democracy and our nation that Trump’s presidency poses. In response to these threats to freedom and democracy, thousands of people nationwide have taken to the streets to express their opposition to Trump. This is a good start but it is just that — a start. Moving forward, we need to stand in solidarity with those who have been targeted by Trump as we work to understand and respond to the legitimate concerns of people who voted for him. We can reject racism, misogyny and xenophobia while working to improve the lives of working class Americans and struggling industrial communities around the country. We can no longer assume that the future we deserve is inevitable. We can no longer take for granted a forward march toward greater inclusion, equality and decency. We can no longer assume that everything will be OK. We must make it so. We must decide what kind of a country we want to live in, envision the future we want for ourselves and future generations and then act to make sure that it comes true. We are a nation of dreamers and must remain so. We can no longer sleep through our destiny. It is time we awake our own agency and demand the world we deserve.
