BEAVERTON’S BRICKS & MINIFIGS By Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer • Photos by Craig Brubaker
A
t Bricks & Minifigs, we build our customers’ dreams brick-by-brick with our extensive knowledge and an endless selection of LEGO products!
market! There is one limitation, and one limitation only when it comes to Bricks & Minifigs: your imagination!
LEGO: Just the brand name alone brings a smile to our faces. It sparks a flourish of creativity in our minds, and whether we’re eight or forty-eight, we’re never too old to enjoy the almost endless possibilities within. Bricks & Minifigs, located inside the Cedar Hill Crossing mall (just behind Starbucks), is your one-stop aftermarket LEGO toy shop! They buy, sell, and trade everything LEGO, from complete sets to minfigs and accessories. And because they’re the largest store of their kind, they have the widest selection of new, used, and retired LEGO sets on the
Franchisee Lynnette Scott opened the store in 2012. At the time, her son was just 10-years-old and a LEGO fanatic. With no understanding or regard for what he was asking, he begged her to open her own LEGO store. And Lynnette took the request seriously! It took her a year, but her perseverance paid off when she finally convinced the owners of Bricks & Minifigs, a local company, to branch
6 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111
out and start franchising. Lynnette became the first franchisee in a business that has now spread out all across the nation! Her initial drive was really just to be the “cool mom.” She had been an elementary school teacher for years and was looking for a change. She envisioned running a business that her son could participate in and enjoy while lavishing him—and other kids—with the best birthday parties imaginable. Little did she know how successful the business would become or how much she would grow to love it. Bricks & Minifigs is a fantastic place for so many reasons! First, they carry many items that you can’t find anywhere else. Like most collectibles, LEGO sets and minifigs are only available for a short time, then they’re retired. If you don’t pick them up in a timely manner, you can miss out. At Bricks & Minifigs, because they buy, sell, and trade new and used LEGO sets, minifigs, and loose pieces, you can often find many of those sets you thought you’d never be able to buy again! Second, they have play areas for amazing parties! Lynnette’s
location in particular has a designated space for parties that is almost 1000 square feet! You provide the food and drinks and she provides the space and the toys. She also does camps! This is a locally owned and operated business, run by passionate people who have not turned their backs on their inner children. Lynnette said she truly loves her work, loves her staff, and her enthusiasm is contagious. It’s obvious the minute you walk into the store and you notice all of the displays in the windows (done by various customers and staff members). In the same way they did when we were kids, LEGO toys continue to bring people together, to encourage interaction, and to share in their creativity. Next time you’re looking for the perfect party place, call Lynnette at 503-644-5701! Or stop on by and peruse the shelves; you just might find that long-retired LEGO set you always wished you’ d purchased but thought was gone forever! Bricks-n-Minifigs is located at 3205 SW Cedar Hills Blvd in Beaverton.

SEASONAL SPECIAL
ANIMAGIC
The Surprising History of Rudolph By Donovan Darling, Active Media Staff Writer
Y
ou’ve probably never heard of Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment, but you’ve certainly seen their abundant and classic Christmas movies. The most popular stop-motion Christmas movies they produced were Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town (1970), The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974), The First Christmas (1975), Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (1976), and Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July (1979). While far from being new, these heartwarming movies continue to charm new generations every holiday season. First known as Videocraft International, Ltd., the company was founded by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass in New York City in 1960. Most of the Rankin / Bass animations, including their “Animagic” stop-motion movies, were produced in Tokyo, Japan. In fact, most of the studio’s animation was outsourced to Japanese companies like MOM Production, Eiken, Toei Animation, Mushi Productions, and Topcraft. Rankin / Bass was one of the first American film studios to outsource low-budget animated television and movies to foreign animation studios. Throughout the 1960s, the Animagic movies were spearheaded by stop-motion animator Tadahito Mochinaga at MOM Production. Rankin / Bass remained successful for many years thanks to their animated holiday specials which aired for American television. In 1964, the company produced a special for NBC and sponsored by General Electric: a stop-motion animated adaptation of Robert L. May’s 1939 story “Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,” which featured the 1949 song it inspired, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” written by May’s brother-in-law, Johnny Marks. With American actor Burl Ives as Sam the Snowman and narrator, with an original score by Marks himself, Rudolph became one of the most popular and longest-running Christmas specials in television history, airing with NBC until 1972 when it 8 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111
moved to CBS. After its last series output, Rankin / Bass shut down its production company on March 4, 1987. The look and style of the films has heavily influenced more modern holiday classics such as Elf (2003), as well as being parodied by Saturday Night Live and South Park. The figurines featured in Rudolph were created by Japanese puppet-maker Ichiro Komuro for the fan favorite stop-motion movie. “These were hand-made. They weren’t toys,” pop culture memorabilia appraiser Simeon Lipman told PBS in 2006. “They had mechanisms to make them move, to make them come almost alive. No mass manufacturer of toys, especially in the 1960s, made things like that. It was made to be on film.” The 6-inch-tall Rudolph and 11-inchtall Santa were made of wood, wire, cloth, and leather, with Rudolph’s nose lighting up and Santa’s beard made from yak hair. Sometime in the 70s, the puppets came to Barbara Adams, a secretary at Rankin / Bass. She used the figurines to decorate her Christmas tree, and let her nieces and nephews play with them like toys. Later, most of the figurines ended up tragically melting in a hot attic, presumably Barbara’s. Her nephew brought the survivors, Santa and Rudolph, to the Antiques Roadshow, where they were valued at $8,000 to $10,000. A toy collector, Keith Kriess, purchased the puppets for an undisclosed amount, but much more than that appraisal. He then spent $4,000 to have them meticulously restored. Before that, Rudolph had lost his nose, and Santa was missing half his yak-hair mustache. Santa and Rudolph were successfully restored, according to Peter Lutrario, who purchased them from Keith for an undisclosed amount. In late 2020, Peter sold them to an anonymous auction bidder, who won them for a whopping $368,000! Although the current whereabouts of the figurines are unknown, we can be sure that Rudolph and Santa are alive and well in their Rankin/Bass stop-motion movies, emblazoning television screens each December all across the world. Magical and heartwarming to this day, these Christmas films pioneered holiday television specials, forever changed the world of animation, and continue to capture our imagination and hearts.

HOLIDAY WINES
Essential Wines
For Your Holiday Table
By Robert Matsumura, Active Media Contributing Writer
H
ave you ever stood in the wine aisle of your local grocers during the holidays, baffled as to the appropriate wine for meals featuring poultry, beef, pork, or seafood—not to mention the array of appetizers and side dishes? Our guide below will help simplify this process with six wines flexible enough to compliment your holiday cuisines from autumn through winter.
Sauvignon Blanc
Also referred to as “Sancerre” in France, this medium-light bodied white wine is a winner. It features a crisp, herbal profile perfect for turkey, goose, chicken, or seafood.
Pinot Noir
With its bright acidity and versatile nature, Pinot Noir is one of the best choices for the holidays. It excels across the board with poultry, pork, and hearty beef dishes. The Pacific Northwest and California offer many solid choices with fruit-forward characteristics sure to please even the most discriminating palates.
Zinfandel
A more full-bodied white, Chardonnay is an excellent partner to fish or roast poultry. Likewise, Chardonnay pairs beautifully with beef, should you have guests who prefer to drink only white. In this case, opt for an oak-forward Chardonnay, as it will enhance the robust flavors of the beef.
Red Zinfandel has long been considered a great Thanksgiving wine for its ability to compliment turkey while also blending well with cranberry sauce and other sides. Its fruit-forward profile, along with notes of cinnamon, clove, and vanilla evoke the holiday season. Zinfandel also performs admirably with beef and pork, should your holiday dinner include a roast or baked ham.
Viognier
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chardonnay
Not as well-known as other whites, Viognier is a fantastic partner to roast turkey and other poultry dishes. Rounded in body with undertones of honey and spice, some of the best Viognier comes from the Rhone region of France, as well as Australia and South Africa. Like Chardonnay, Viognier can also play well with beef.
Cabernet Sauvignon, the “King of Reds,” is the ultimate pairing for beef. Cabernet’s dark, full-bodied character, often reminiscent of currants and black cherry, enhances the hearty flavors of such entrees as prime rib or crown roast.
Syrah/Shiraz
Another fabulous red wine to pair with beef is Syrah (known as Shiraz in Australia). This luscious red bursts with complex flavors from pepper to cherry, smoky to floral. Syrah, made in France’s Rhone Valley, is generally known more for its elegance and complexity, while Shiraz is bolder and more fruit-driven. If beef is on the menu, you can’t go wrong with Syrah.
Which Wine to Bring to a Party?
Let’s say you’ve been invited to a holiday event and wish to bring a bottle of wine, but you’re uncertain of the menu. The safest choices might be Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Both wines have versatility across a broad spectrum of entrees, and will be welcome additions to the holiday table. All of these featured wines are readily available at your local markets, where helpful staff can assist you in determining the best selections and values for your particular budget. 10 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111
HOLIDAY CHEESES
Cheese For The Holidays A Quick & Easy Guide To A Savory Cheese Board By Robert Matsumura, Active Media Contributing Writer
A
s the holidays roll around, entertaining family and friends takes center stage. For many of us the holiday cheese board is a star player in the food festivities, yet with the plethora of choices available at local markets, assembling it can prove a bit daunting.
Basic Strategy
For presentation purposes, select cheeses of different colors, shapes, and sizes. When calculating the amount of cheese to purchase, three ounces per guest is a solid guideline. Thus, if you’re serving three types of cheese and entertaining 12 guests, you should buy at least 12 ounces of each type. If other appetizers will be served, the amount of cheese can be reduced to two ounces. In general, three varieties of cheese—a hard, a semi-hard, and a soft—will provide ample variety for most events.
Hard Cheeses Aged Gouda
This Dutch cheese is always a strong player on any cheese board. If you prefer a sharper, nuttier flavor with those delicious salty bits, opt for a Gouda aged at least 10 months. Many of the premier Goudas will be aged up to 18 months or more. Top brands include Beemster, Parrano, and Rembrandt.
Manchego
A full-bodied cheese made from sheep’s milk, this Spanish cheese from the La Mancha region is creamy yet nutty with toasty nuances. Aged Manchego has a wonderful granular texture much like aged Gouda, and will be a superb compliment to fruit or meats such as prosciutto, salami, and capicola.
Cheddar
A good aged cheddar is always a welcome member of any cheese board. American, English, and Irish cheddars are all fantastic choices, providing slightly different characteristics. In general, the longer a cheddar is aged the sharper the flavor. Tillamook, Kerrygold, and Cabot are all fine choices.
Semi-hard Cheeses Fontina
Originally from Italy, this versatile cheese features a sweet and pungent character nuanced with tones of butter and roasted nuts. It is rich and creamy with an intensity of flavor that increases with age. Sartori, Stella, and Boar’s Head are all excellent brands.
Comté
One of the most popular French cheeses, this creamy, mild cheese is a pleasing addition to any cheese board as it blends well with bolder flavored meats and preserves while adding a luxurious undertone. Jura Flore, Fort Rousses, and St. Antoine are all quality brands.
Soft Cheeses Brie
Soft and creamy, with a musky complexion, this French cheese is spreadable and delicious slathered on bread or crackers. Try it warmed and melted. Excellent brands are President, La Bonne Vie, or Dietz and Watson. Marin French is a quality domestic brand.
Camembert
Another soft spreadable cheese that hails from the Normandy region of France is Camembert. Not quite as creamy as Brie, it is less pungent, and pale yellow in color. Often celebrated as the most popular cheese of France. For festive additions consider cranberry cheeses such as Wensleydale or Celebrity. Crave truffles? Explore the many truffled cheeses on the market such as truffled Brie and Gouda. Beaverton Community Advantage Magazine 11
