DirectLink supports local schools and students DirectLink’s main commitment is to the members of the communities they serve. A big part of that is fostering opportunities for young people to blossom into the leaders of tomorrow. Here are a few ways this local cooperative company supports local students.
Interest in STEAM fields DirectLink was thrilled for the opportunity to host local students again for the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) summer camp. The camp is operated by Bridging Cultures and Todos Juntos in partnership with the Canby Educational Foundation and Canby School District. (See top photo)
D.C. trip for rural youth DirectLink recently sponsored local high school student Osten Terry for a trip to Washington, D.C. for the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) Youth Tour. The tour is an annual opportunity for local students to visit the nation’s capital to learn about rural broadband service
and see legislative processes in action. DirectLink plans to continue this offering for high school students that live in our service area. Go to www.DirectLink.coop/news or scan the QR code to read the free article.
Scholarships for local students The Canby Rotary Foundation administers the DirectLink scholarship fund that sets aside thousands of dollars each year. Since 2000, the Foundation has provided nearly $500,000 in scholarships, enabling hundreds of local students to continue their education. Applications open around the end of January, but details and general application guidelines can be found at www.DirectLink.coop/scholarship.

Thanks Be to Grandpa Cherishing Thanksgiving feasts made with love
T
hanksgiving was my grandpa’s absolute favorite holiday. He was an amazing cook and always looked forward to preparing the Thanksgiving meal on the big day. My mom’s dad had honed his skills as a mess sergeant in the U.S. Army during World War II — even once preparing a meal for General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Back home, he’d dedicate all week to planning and getting all the food ready to cook. Then he’d spend all Thanksgiving morning in the kitchen. It was not uncommon for the entire family to attend the feast. This would include all of my aunts, uncles and a gaggle of cousins.
All of us kids had strict orders to stay out of the kitchen so the “chef” could work his magic. We stayed busy playing hideand-seek, cops and robbers, or any number of other games created by our imagination, since there was no internet to keep us entertained. Once the food was ready, everyone sat around at the big table to enjoy the dinner and visiting with one another.

Of course my cousins and I were relegated to the “kids” table, but we didn’t mind. The food was always amazing — the turkey and gravy were my favorites — the company was great and everything in the world was right. As I look back on these family events, I realize how much I cherished those times. What I wouldn’t give to go back in time, just for a day, to spend one more Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa. As my family gathers this year for the holiday, I will give a toast to Grandpa for the wonderful memories he made possible, all while celebrating all the people at my table, making sure to cherish the times we have now. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Also, please pass the gravy.

Your Fitness, Your Way! FITNESS + MATH
A
s the holidays approach, the best advice I give clients is DO THE MATH. Healthy lifestyle changes are best all year, but the holidays are not the time to start something new. So for now, just count! Calories “IN” vs. Calories “OUT.” Exercise daily and use a fitness tracker to monitor activity, “YOUR BURN!” You MUST burn more than you consume!
Sleep is key to a clear mind and mental strength to stay on track and stay focused. Have you noticed if you are tired, it’s a lot easier to fall to junk food and sweets?

Track food! Everything! Be honest, and track every little bite. It all adds up. You must see it! Measure, measure, measure! The small stuff like salad dressing, coffee creamer and butter can add a whopping 500 calories. Water, water, water! I can’t stress this enough! Clean your system and GI tract for optimum metabolic burn. Take a good probiotic. A healthy and balanced gut flora improves digestion.

A swollen lymph node or nodes is the most common symptom of lymphoma. However, there are many other possible causes of swollen lymph nodes. If you notice a lump that doesn’t go away within 2 to 3 weeks, or you find that a lump is getting bigger, see your GP.

COMMUNITY
KIWANIS CLUB OF CANBY
Season of Giving Kiwanis food and toy drive marks 65 years
I
By Canby Kiwanis Club
t’s the time of year again when Canby residents and businesses alike band together to support Kiwanis Canby Community Food & Toy Drive. This will be the 65th year of this annual event that brings community volunteers and organizations together to collect and distribute toys and funds to families in need. The drive serves families who live within the Canby School District and is not affiliated with television toy drives or other efforts in the metro area. “There is no other event that happens in Canby that brings so many different individuals, groups, businesses, and neighborhoods together, all working for the same cause, as the Kiwanis Canby Community Food & Toy Drive,” says Sharon Schneider, board member for Canby Kiwanis Club and long-time event chair. “Schools and local businesses get very creative in finding ways to help with contests and toy drives. Children have even used their birthday parties for fundraising and toy collecting.” The community can support expenses of the drive by making credit card donations online, canbykiwanis.org, or by sending a check to Canby Kiwanis Foundation (F&T), P.O. Box 1004, Canby, OR 97013, Tax ID 93-1322729. Collection barrels for new toys (infants through teens) are conveniently located around town at the Library, Fire Department, and about 45 local businesses. Businesses that want a barrel to gather toys can contact canbykiwanisclub@ gmail.com to see if one is available.
16 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
Applications to receive food and toys are at Canby Kiwanis Thrift Store, the Public Library, Canby Adult Center, and Canby Center. Since COVID, Kiwanis has given food gift cards instead of food boxes. The cards can only be used for food (not alcohol or tobacco). “In this way we cut down on handling other people’s food, and families can buy the groceries they want that are in line with their dietary needs and preferences,” says Judy Neighbours, vice president of the club. Volunteers make the Food & Toy Drive wheel turn, and several local organizations always step up to help, including Rotary, Clackamas County Fair Board, the Rodeo Court, Boy Scouts, local churches, Bridging Cultures, and The Canby Center. Several families have participated since their kids were little and now those kids are adults. Volunteers distribute and collect barrels, sort toys, fill donation bags, and organize donations by family. Volunteer opportunities are posted throughout early December on Facebook and the website. Recipients pick up their toys and gift cards Friday, Dec. 15 at Clackamas County Event Center. Items not picked up will be delivered to homes on Saturday, Dec. 16. Volunteers are invited to help. Angela Baker, President of Canby Kiwanis Club, shares the spirit of the Canby community: “Our community members are willing to donate items, funds, and the incredible gift of their time to ensure local children and their families have a special holiday season. We are deeply grateful year after year to see the generosity of Canby and how this community takes care of its own. It really is in line with the Kiwanis mission: Serving the Children of the World.” To volunteer, donate or find more info on the Kiwanis Canby Community Food & Toy Drive, email canbykiwanisclub@gmail. com, or visit them on Facebook and at canbykiwanis.org.
MAKE THE HOLIDAYS HAPPY FOR KIDS & FAMILIES IN THE CANBY SCHOOL DISTRICT
PLEASE HELP! DONATE TO THE KIWANIS CANBY COMMUNITY
FOOD & TOY DRIVE
S
ince 1958, the entire Canby community has joined together to provide food & toys for our neighbors in need during the holidays. Last year, with your support, 467 families received food gift cards, and 1,100 kids found toys under the tree. Help us celebrate 65 years of caring by donating to this year’s Kiwanis Canby Community Food & Toy Drive! By donating, you help provide food gift cards so families can shop for the holiday food they need. (The cards can’t be used on alcohol or tobacco.) Donations also help us fill in any gaps in age groups for toys we collect in the community. Donations of $500 or more will be recognized in at least one social media post, on our website, and, if received by November 20, on event posters and publicity.

A City on Mars By Zach and Kelly Weinersmith SCIENCE/HUMOR
Earth is not well, and the promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away beckons. The authors had set out to write an upbeat guide to space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea. While technologies progress, we still lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms and create space nations in a way that doesn’t spark conflict back home. With deep expertise, a winning sense of humor and art from the creator of “Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal,” the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself: whether and how to become multiplanetary. Get in, we’re going to Mars.

“MEAT ” THE
VETERAN BY DENNIS McNABB, STAFF WRITER he U.S. Army’s recruiting slogan from 1980–2001 was “Be All You Can Be.” Anthony “Tony” Helbling, “Cold War” Army veteran, has embraced that slogan like no other. He was born into a military family. His grandfather was in the Navy and fought during World War II. His uncles were in the Army, Air Force and Coast Guard. His father was a career Army officer, and his brother, a career NCO. Born in Germany, where his father was stationed at the time, Tony moved 11 times during his youth, yet there was never a question that he’d follow in the hallowed footsteps of those in his family who had served before him. So dedicated was he to this ideal, Tony even wrote a paper in eighth grade regarding his aspirations of becoming an Army helicopter pilot. And that’s exactly what he did. Attending the ROTC program at the University of Oregon, he graduated as a Second Lieutenant Medical Service Officer in the U.S. Army, specializing in air and ground ambulances. From there, he went to flight school in Alabama, taking his wife, Pam, with him. Soon after, he was assigned to the 54th Medical Detachment in Fort Lewis (now JBLM), where he acted as both a Platoon Leader and Medical Evacuation Pilot. He was so adept in his position he was selected to become an Aide-de-camp

Tony Helbling BE ALL YOU CAN BE
to a General Officer (a coveted position for such a young soldier). Following that, he got back to flying for the 54th Detachment until returning to Alabama for the Officer’s advanced course. He was then assigned to Fort Carson, Colorado,
where he acted as Staff Officer in the Division Medical Operation Center for the Fourth Infantry Division until he left full-time active duty. That wasn’t the end of his military journey, however — far from it! He brought his family back to the West Coast and joined the Oregon Army National Guard as an Air Operations Officer. He quickly moved up the chain to become Commander of the 1042 Medical Company/Air Ambulance out of Salem. During that time, he flew numerous missions during the 1996
floods. From there, he was transferred to Commander of Charlie Company, 141st Support Battalion. Tony has kept an active profile throughout, not only volunteering for a number of civic organizations — The Canby City Planning Commission and Council, Canby Business Development, The Rotary Club of Canby, The Providence Willamette Falls Medical Foundation (of which he is a board member) — but doing so while also working a second career at Wilson Construction Co. where he has been for more than 25 years! He and Pam enjoy spending time with their three children, all married, and seven grandchildren. I had the pleasure of speaking with Tony and he was one of the most accommodating, amiable and sharp-witted gentlemen I’ve had the good fortune to meet. His military experience and what that has meant to him can’t be separated from the man himself. It’s who he is, but it can all be summed up in one straightforward, incredibly profound phrase that he said he has repeated often. When thanked for his service he simply responds, “Well, thank YOU for being worth serving for!”

TASTE OF THE TOWN
CANBY BISCUITS CAFE
Tradition with a Twist A new spin on classic comfort food
Photo by Andrew Sambuceto
By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer
C
anby Biscuits owners David and Dana Ligatich have been together for 30 years, and their story is full of heart and inspiration. David says he knew Dana was the one for him when he met her in high school Spanish class. They married and had two boys before unfortunately losing everything in the recession of 2008, living in a campground in Alaska with David working ten-hour days managing a major retailer to make ends meet. “My son said to me, ‘You never have time to go to my games or come to my school.’ That’s when I knew we had to move back to Oregon and do something different,” says David. Dana’s flourishing success serving at the Gresham Biscuits sparked their next adventure. After she markedly increased his revenue, founder Ed Preston offered to sell her the Gresham location so she could spend more time with David, who was battling health issues. Since then, they’ve had the opportunity to buy six other locations, including acquiring Canby last October. They are the perfect team, David doing 90 percent of his work from home and Dana doing 100 percent of her work in the restaurants. “It’s been an amazing journey,” David says. Biscuits serves breakfast and lunch, classic and homemade, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and excellent portions, but they shine by showing customers an elevated experience with plenty of surprises up their sleeves you won’t find at your typical cafe. The menu is full of fun and trendy options like Churro
30 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
Waffles and a Bacon Bloody Mary made with Tito’s Vodka. Customers can enjoy a sampling of flavors with the Cold Brew or French Toast Flight, or order the Bacon Board and feast on varieties like Chocolate Strawberry or Garlic Parmesan. Of course, all the best traditional choices are also available, like omelets, benedicts, scrambles, Chicken Fried Steak and more. The lunch menu features a tasty selection of burgers, sandwiches and salads. A kid’s menu is available for the little ones, and they also offer a few vegan options like French Toast and a Breakfast Burrito. David and Dana stick to their core values where it counts and care for their guests and employees like they were family. That includes paying a living wage plus closing early and on holidays. “At the Canby location, we’ve been blessed to retain some employees from the previous ownership, and we’ve brought in some amazing new team members to create a cohesive team that works well together,” David says. “We do everything we can to make our employees successful, and that’s how we’ve found our success.” Advocating for supporting restaurants in a market where food prices have skyrocketed is another cornerstone. “If the community wants their restaurants to succeed, don’t drink just water. Have the Fruity Pebble French Toast and order the Espresso Martini to go with it, or the Coke, or the coffee. You are supporting that owner and their team so much by doing that,” says David. Dana and David love Canby and strive to nurture the community around them. “The cafe has supported the Canby Rodeo for years, and we continued that tradition this year. Just in these last few months, we were able to do a fundraiser to send local youth to Mexico for a service project.” They’ve also joined the Canby Chamber, and David is a long-time Rotarian. “We feel that being present in our communities is huge.” Stop by Biscuits next time you’re in the mood for classic American comfort food with some zany twists in a friendly cafe with a farmhouse kitchen vibe. “We’ve cut it down to time, quality, and service. We want to deliver a delicious, quality plate of food with the best service available in as little time as possible, 100 percent of the time,” David says. Biscuits is located at 1477 SE 1st Avenue, Canby, Oregon, 97013. Check out their menu and website at biscuitscafe.com, or give them a call at 503-263-3287.

DUTCH HERITAGE FARMS
A Family Legacy You can take the girl out of the city…
By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer
W
hy is a city girl from West Linn running a hobby farm in Damascus? The answer lies in the lifestyle provided by the family farm back in Holland. Denise Woods, owner of Dutch Heritage Farms, moved from the city to rural Damascus with her family and her mom about four years ago. Looking for a relaxed environment for her mom’s retirement years, the two bought the property together, fulfilling her mom’s dream of being back on a little farm. Denise explains, “I’m firstgeneration American on my father’s side. My father was still a citizen of Holland when I was born.” She adds, “My grandma (father’s mother) always wanted a farm, too, after she left Holland. So it’s kind of a family legacy I’m trying to create.” Sharing the family mini-farm with community neighbors and friends has become
38 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
a mission of sorts for Denise. Moving to the farm in 2019 and facing the pandemic, she did what any selfrespecting city girl would do – opened a Facebook page and invited people to tour the farm, free of charge. Following
Covid protocols, visitors were able to hang out with the animals, feed them treats and enjoy the farm grounds. “That’s kind of what I still do,” says Denise. “I don’t charge anything for it.” Open to the public by “Appointment Only,” Dutch Heritage Farms has hosted field trips for kindergarteners and offered the grounds for picnic lunches, providing a unique and intimate experience for families and romantics. Recently, Denise began selling hens to the local residents so they could enjoy their own farm-fresh eggs at home. She wants the farm to be a place where everybody feels welcome. “I like the people to feel welcome, the dogs and all the animals to feel that way, too,” she says. It’s also a place for kids who are scared of animals, to give them a quiet place where they can learn about animals. “Our animals are very friendly,” Denise points out. “Our turkeys follow you around and just gobble. It’s so cute.” You’ll also see chickens, ducks, quail, rabbits, Babydoll sheep, KuneKune pigs and mini donkeys roaming the farm grounds. In addition to the farm animals, Dutch Heritage Farms is home to Pampered Pet Lodge, a small kennel designed for “special needs” pets as well as special requests from pet parents. As Denise explains it, sometimes animals (dogs in particular) need special consideration and she is willing to go the extra mile to accommodate them as well as any special requests made by the owner. The kennel (which is fee-based) has a couple spots for cats as well as dogs. Helping out around the farm is Denise’s husband, Travis. “He works hard to keep things nice,” she acknowledges. Her two daughters, Cassandra and Shana,
who both live onsite, also pitch in. Cassandra assists with the farm animals, the house, the eggs and the hens. She works part-time at a veterinary clinic and is attending school to further her veterinary education. Shana is responsible for marketing and spreading the word about the farm and the kennel. True to her city girl nature, Denise admits she has kind of a “pristine” farm. Her mom used to tease her about that and Denise agrees, “I dust the barn, I can’t stand having cobwebs in the barn.” Her current vision includes planting
herbs, raspberry bushes and the like for natural landscaping. She’s also looking into trees that will give the animals shade and produce a food source for
them. “It’s a process,” she confirms, “because we’re new at this!” For Dutch Heritage Farms or Pampered Pet Lodge, call or text Denise Woods at (503) 913-5052 or email denisewoods5052@ gmail.com. For information online visit dutchheritagefarms.com.

BETTER PLANNING AND INVESTING
Oregon College Savings Plans By Founder and Managing Member Christian Kruse, CFP®
W
ith the fall season here, and the Beavers and the Ducks playing football on many of our TVs, some parents and grandparents’ thoughts turn to the rising cost of tuition. As many of us know well, the cost of attending a four-year college or university has increased dramatically over the past several decades. An article from Best Colleges notes that for four-year public colleges, the rate of inflation from 2001 to 2021 tuition and fees rose 5% per year. A single year at the University of Oregon is approximately $57,000 when including Tuition, Books, Room & Board, and other expenses. My own alma mater of Oregon State is only somewhat lower at $49,000 per year. These expenses can seem daunting or even insurmountable without going deep into debt. A 529 Savings Plan allows you to grow wealth for future education expenses. Gains grow tax deferred like an IRA and can be withdrawn tax free for qualified expenses like tuition, books, room and board as well as computers and supplies. Each state has its own college savings plan but that does not mean you must utilize your own state’s plan to receive the Federal tax-free benefit of withdrawals for the use of education in all 50 states. When considering which plan to use, consider all expenses associated with the plan. What are the management fees of the funds? If you utilize an investment advisor, are they charging you a commission to buy their funds? If you invest
in the Oregon College Savings plan you may be eligible for a tax credit of up to $170 for single filers and $340 for joint filers but this amounts to 10% of the contribution for the $100K to $250K income bands. The Oregon College Savings Plan through Sumday Administration provides an easy to use and cost-effective platform for making 529 plan contributions for children and grandchildren. They do not, however, provide any investment advice or guidance into how to invest or how much may be needed. At Better Planning & Investing we not only provide investment advice on your 529 plans but help you determine just what you may need to save now to meet your college specific needs. We can help you answer how much, for example, it will cost in 16 years to fund four years of college at either Oregon State University or University of Oregon. Got an out of state college in mind? We can help you determine the out-of-state cost expected. The years to college, expected return on investment and general education inflation are all important considerations. College planning is included in our comprehensive financial planning at just 1% fee of assets under management. If you’d like a free mini college savings financial plan for your child, including your target college of choice, contact us today. We’ll tell you: 1. How much your college choice will cost on their 18th birthday. 2.How much you’ll need to save either monthly or annually based on the amount saved so far.

Holiday Kitchen Fire Safety L
ong lines at the grocery store, package deliveries piling up on doorsteps — yes, it’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays.
All the hectic preparations may prove distracting when it comes to safety in the kitchen, leading to accidental burns or scalds. According to the National Fire Protection Association, winter holidays are peak days for home cooking fires. With the end of the year approaching and the holiday festivities drawing near, it is is a good time for families to review their fire safety plan. The two most important parts of such a plan are knowing the best route to evacuate your house or dwelling and knowing the location of your fire extinguisher.
Holiday Cooking Safety Whether you’re hosting a gettogether or just bringing a dish, prevent kitchen fires and cook safely with these tips in mind: Keep flammable items away from the stovetop, including oven mitts, potholders, food packaging and dishtowels. Avoid wearing loose clothing, which could catch fire on burners. Do not leave cooking unattended. When using the stovetop, stay in the kitchen so you can keep an eye on the food. If you have something in the oven, check on it frequently; set a timer as a reminder. Keep the floor clear of any tripping hazards, such as bags or toys. Pets should be kept in another room where they won’t risk getting underfoot. Stay alert while cooking on the stove. If you’re tired or have consumed alcohol, let someone else take over. Exercise caution when handling hot liquids and foods, as steam or splashes can cause serious burns; also be careful of the trays, pans and serving dishes they are in. When it is time to set the table, place hot liquids and foods in the center of the table, where they are less likely to be knocked over. Article by www.hopkinsmedicine.org
221 S. PINE STREET, CANBY WWW.CANBYFIRE.ORG
Kids in the Kitchen The kitchen can be a risky place for children, especially amid the chaos of holiday preparations. From hot foods and liquids to knives and dangling electric cords, there are lots of dangerous things a child can grab off the counter. Maintain a safe environment by keeping hazardous items toward the back of the counter and out of easy reach. To avoid any accidental burns or scalds, children should stay at least three feet away from the stove. Keep them entertained — and out of the kitchen — by setting up activities such as games, puzzles or books in another room.
How to Treat a Burn No matter how careful one may be, accidents still happen. If you experience a painful burn, contact your doctor or go to an urgent care clinic or the emergency room.
What to Do If There Is a Cooking Fire When a fire ignites in the kitchen, our first instinct may be to pick up the flaming pot or pan and attempt to move it into the sink or outside. However, this is dangerous and can result in splashing hot oil on yourself and your home, spreading the fire. Should a small fire ignite, follow these safety guidelines: Do not pour water on it. Water can cause oil to splash, which can not only hurt you but also spread the fire. Slide a lid over the pan to smother the fire and turn off the stovetop, leaving the pan covered until it has completely cooled; alternatively, baking soda can also be used to extinguish small grease fires. With an oven fire, turn off heat and keep the door closed. For larger fires with extensive smoke and heat that are rapidly spreading, get out. Leave the kitchen and close the door behind you to contain the flames. Once you are safe, call 911 or a local emergency number. Take your loved ones with you outside, but don’t reenter your home to get your cellphone, computer or other personal belongings. You may not have a second chance to get out safely. With these in mind, you and your loved ones are better prepared to have a happy — and safe — holiday season from the kitchen to the table.

Addams Family Values (1993) “I am a turkey. Eat me!” One of the very few movies that’s deeply critical yet also somehow celebratory of Thanksgiving, Adams Family Values. Indeed, this is a true Thanksgiving movie which celebrates family and embracing our differences, while razzing the holiday’s origins and modern whitewashing in dark comedic fashion. In this unpredictable and brilliant satire, Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) falls in love with a murderous gold digger (Joan Cusack) who quickly turns him against his own family, much to their shock. Simultaneously, the Addams children Wednesday (Christina Ricci) and Pugsley (Jimmy Workman) go to summer camp, which turns out to be a wacky microcosm of cultural problems — racism, conformity and censorship. This classic “us vs. them” movie is ridiculous, funny, dark and a surprisingly heartwarming look at a family’s idiosyncrasies. Starring the above, plus Anjelica Huston and Raúl Juliá as Morticia and Gomez Addams. Rated PG-13 for violence and mature themes — good for older kids.
Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) “I think I have this thing where I need everybody to think I’m the greatest, the quote-unquote Fantastic Mr. Fox.” What to say about a Wes Anderson movie? Well, this might be my favorite. A stop-motion movie which took 5 years to make, based on the book by Roald Dahl and starring handmade animal puppets, it follows the adventures of Mr. Fox, a former master thief turned reporter. Unfortunately, as a reporter and family man with a mortgage, Mr. Fox misses the old days of the chase and begins stealing again while hiding it from his family. Like all Wes’s movies, this has a massive cast of quirky characters played by big-time actors, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe and so many more. And believe it or not, this has a Thanksgiving-scene near the end. While not a blatant Thanksgiving movie, it does indeed embrace the ideas of diversity, chosen family and “us vs. them.” Each character has their own little existential struggle, be it a career, bullying, illness, or love, played against a wide autumnal-colored backdrop of the English countryside in what feels like fall. It’s incredibly written, funny, heartfelt and just a world of its own. Rated PG for action, smoking and slang humor — great for all kids!
Dutch (1991) “Nothing burps better than bacon.” Love him or hate him, Ed O’Neill is quintessential ’90s, made famous by playing Al Bundy on the Fox TV show “Married With Children.” Here he plays a similar character, Dutch Dooley, a gruff but lovable blue collar American. While obnoxious, he’s also hilarious and wise like the old-fashioned TV dads. In this road comedy-drama directed by John Hughes, Dutch is dating a divorcée named Natalie (JoBeth Williams) and he offers to drive her snobby 13-year-old son, Doyle (Ethan Randall) from his Atlanta private school to Chicago for Thanksgiving. Doyle blames his mother for the divorce and expectedly hates Dutch, especially his blue collar roots. In this classic odd-couple dynamic, the road trip is filled with constant arguments, situational comedy and eventually, love. Rated PG-13 for mature themes, language and violence — older teens and adults only.

hether he’s breaking tackles on the football field or making moves on the wrestling mat, you’re going to notice him. This athletic, 6-foot 195-pound Canby High School senior stands out in both sports. But football is where this star shines brightest. Meet Tyler Konold, Canby’s athlete for November. Last year, in just his first year wrestling, he advanced all the way to the state finals and finished runner-up in his 195-pound weight class. “He gave wrestling a chance as a junior and had
“He gave wrestling a chance as a junior and had success right away. He’s the first kid I’ve seen to come in his rookie year and end up in the state finals.” —BRANDON HARMS, CHS WRESTLING COACH success right away,” Cougar wrestling coach Brandon Harms said. “He’s the first kid I’ve seen to come in his rookie year and end up in the state finals.” With Konold and a core group of wrestlers returning to the mats, the two-time district champion Cougars look to defend their title this winter, Harms said. But Friday nights under the lights, football is the main attraction and Konold is taking center stage this fall. The star running back rushed for 209 yards on 10 carries as the Cougars clinched a state playoff berth with a 40-6 rout over Hood River Oct. 13 to improve their record to 6-2. The Cougar captain showcased his prowess on both sides of the ball in the lopsided victory over their league rival. From his outside linebacker position, he made tackles all over the field. No. 24 has played a major role in leading Canby to the 5A Special District 1 league championship game against powerhouse Wilsonville. (The winner was unknown at the time of this edition of Canby Community Advantage, which went to press before the title game was played.) “Everywhere he plays he’s an impact player,” Canby head football coach Jimmy Joyce said. “In almost 20 years of coaching, I’ve never seen a running back with his ability, his blend of speed and power, and his sense of vision is just incredible.” Konold was a highly touted athlete before his arrival at Canby freshman year. He impressed the coaches, and by sophomore year was named to the all-state team for both offense and defense. The following year, despite being limited to playing only four and a half games due to an ankle injury, he managed to rush
48 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111
for more than 1,000 yards as a junior. During a remarkable two-game stretch, he ran for over 500 yards. Konold is healthy this year and on his way to his third 1,000-plus yard season and second all-state selection. Through the first seven games of the season, he had 934 yards rushing on 79 carries with 12 touchdowns rushes and one touchdown reception.. In order to lighten his workload, the Cougars have tried to reduce the number of carries he gets from about 30 to 10 per game to reduce wear and tear on their star tailback. After all, it’s a long season and they want him at his best for the playoff run. Konold is still one of the most formidable impact players in the league, averaging almost 10 yards a carry. He has the ability to dominate the game and take it to a different level at will.
Joyce said a number of colleges are looking at him and he expects Konold to receive offers at the end of the season. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he has an impressive statistic in the classroom as well, with a 3.5 grade-point average. The Canby wrestling coach had nothing but positive things to say about Konold’s work ethic. “He’s pretty impressive, coachable, hard working, everything good you could say about a kid,” Harms said.
This leader on and off the field has high aspirations after graduation. Chief among them is getting a college football scholarship. “He’s a great kid, great student and a good leader,” Joyce said. “He’s the real deal. He’ll be playing somewhere next season.”

THE HISTORY OF PUMPKIN PIE
In Pumpkin Pie We Crust Some 400 years in the ‘baking’
P
By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer
umpkin pie, is arguably more American than apple pie. But where did this spiced, crusted, orange squash custard come from? Pumpkins were first grown in Central America in 5500 B.C. and were one of the first foods brought back from the New World by European explorers. The first mention of pumpkins dates back to 1536, and they were regularly grown in England within a few years and called “pumpions,” based on the French word “pompon,” the derivation of “pompom,” which refers to a chrysanthemum or dahlia’s rounded flowers. Current data suggests pumpkin pie dates back almost 400 years. A French cookbook from 1653 has a recipe that instructs chefs to boil a pumpkin in milk, strain and place in a crust. In the 1670 edition of “Gentlewoman’s Companion,” English writer Hannah Woolley suggests a pie be filled with varied layers of apple and pumpkin, sweet marjoram, thyme and spiced rosemary. A crust, however, sounds like it was optional. One New England recipe detailed using a hollowed-out pumpkin, filling it with sweet spiced milk and cooking it right in a fire. And an English variant recipe included sliced apples. England’s pie culture is legendary, known for making complex pastries for centuries. It’s likely that the Pilgrims who sailed for America on the Mayflower in 1620 were familiar with pumpkins, both as fruit and dessert, as well as the indigenous tribe of the Wampanoag, who helped these Pilgrims survive their first year

in the Plymouth Colony. A year after their arrival, on what has become known as the first Thanksgiving, 50 colonists and 90 Wampanoag celebrated the harvest for three whole days, and pumpkins were likely part of that meal. By the 18th century, pumpkin pie was a common dish for Thanksgiving, as the holiday had become important in New England. The Connecticut town of Colchester famously postponed Thanksgiving a whole week because they lacked the molasses to make pumpkin pies. Later in 1796, Amelia Simmons’ cookbook “American Cookery” included two pumpkin pie recipes, one which is very similar to the custard version we know today. Interestingly, pumpkin pie gained political significance when abolitionists, for whom pumpkin pie was a common dish in New England, featured it in their novels and poems. Abolitionist Lydia Maria Child ended her 1842 poem about a New England Thanksgiving with the line: “Hurra for the pumpkin pie!” Abolitionist Sarah Josepha Hale rallied for decades for Thanksgiving to become a national holiday, featuring pumpkin pie in her 1827 anti-slavery novel “Northwood:” “yet the pumpkin pie occupied the most distinguished niche” ...among a table full of desserts. When Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, many Confederates saw it as a further imposition of Yankee traditions. Following the Civil War, Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie spread across the country and were written about in many women’s magazines. Libby’s, a Chicago meat-canning company, began producing canned pumpkin in 1929, a product that became essential to every household on Thanksgiving and replaced the labor-intensive task of roasting and straining fresh pumpkin. And the rest was history. Grown for 7,500 years and baked for nearly 400 years, pumpkin pie has come a long way to arrive in cans on pantry shelves and in grocery store bakeries. When enjoying a delicious slice of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving, consider its long and winding history and the countless individuals who had a hand in its creation: French and English pastry chefs, early colonists, the Indigenous, magazine editors, housewives, abolitionists and even Abraham Lincoln.

OREGON BLACK HISTORY SPOTLIGHT: LOUIS SOUTHWORTH
A Tale of Triumph Enslaved gold miner became successful businessman and ferry owner
L
By Oregon Black Pioneers
ouis “Lou” Alexander Southworth was a freed slave who became a successful business owner and homesteader. Lou Southworth was born into slavery in 1830 in Tennessee. He was given the surname of his enslaver, James Southworth, who in 1853 brought the 23-year-old Louis and his mother Pauline to Oregon. James Southworth settled in Lane County, and sent Louis to Jacksonville to pan for gold on his behalf. Lou was allowed to keep a small portion of his earnings for himself. In 1856, Louis joined Colonel John Kelsay’s company of volunteers to fight in the Rogue River Indian Wars near the Oregon-California border. While Southworth is not listed in Kelsay’s Second Regiment muster rolls, records do indicate that he was wounded during a skirmish in either March or April of that year. Although he was still enslaved by James Southworth, Louis moved to Yreka, California in 1858. There he made his livelihood playing the fiddle for local dancing Louis Southworth., schools. Between his gold Benton County Hist. Soc. Museum mining earnings and his fiddle playing, Lou earned the $1,000 necessary to buy his freedom. Despite Louis making the payment to his owner, James Southworth circulated a petition in Lane County to protect “slave property” in a desperate attempt to allow slave owners to keep their enslaved laborers despite Oregon’s anti-slavery laws. James Southworth’s petition reached the Oregon State Legislature but was not adopted, ensuring Lou’s freedom. In 1868, Louis moved to Buena Vista, Oregon, in Polk County, where he purchased land and established a blacksmith shop and livery stable. There, he married Mary Cooper in 1873 and became father to Mary’s adopted son, Alvin McCleary, a mixed-race child of Jamaican and Native American ancestry. Making use of the Homestead Act, the Southworth family acquired property just outside of Waldport, on the Oregon Coast. Beginning in 1880 Louis operated a scow on the Alsea River, ferrying passengers and cargo from one side of the river to the other.

On election day of that year, a major storm hit Waldport. Southworth famously rigged oil cans to his boat to provide extra flotation to allow him to ferry as many passengers as possible across the Alsea Bay and into town to vote on time. Southworth operated his Alsea ferry for 30 years. Lou was known in town for his friendliness and generosity and was known affectionately to Waldport locals as “Uncle Lou.” He played fiddle at church and local events, and even donated a tract of land for Waldport to develop a new school where he served for a time as chair of the school board. During the summers Lou worked as a farm laborer near Philomath and Corvallis, helping with the hay and wheat harvests to earn money for winter supplies. He relocated to Corvallis permanently in 1910, and died there on June 23, 1917 at the age of 86, and was buried in the city’s Crystal Lake Cemetery.

HISTORY
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Falling Back Through Time The origins of daylight saving time By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
S
pring forward, fall back is a saying many of us are familiar with as a reminder to move the clocks forward one hour in the springtime, and back one hour in the fall. Despite your feelings about the subject — for or against the mandated biannual time change — have you ever wondered how daylight saving came about in the first place? Benjamin Franklin is frequently cited as the original proponent of the daylight saving concept when, as the American envoy to France, he satirically proposed in a letter to the “Journal of Paris” that Parisians could save money on candles by waking up earlier, thereby more effectively utilizing natural light. While Franklin’s letter may be the earliest recorded evidence of the concept, others proposed the same idea, but for different reasons. New Zealander George Hudson, an entomologist, proposed in 1895 that the clock be forwarded by two hours in order to provide additional daylight to pursue his study of insects during the summer. In 1902, an Englishman by the name of William Willett — who incidentally was the great-great-grandfather of Chris Martin of the band Coldplay — was struck with the daylight saving notion while out riding his horse. Willett went so far as to propose the concept to Parliament as a way for Great Britain to more efficiently utilize daylight. Despite the support of such luminaries as Winston Churchill and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the idea never gained sufficient traction in Parliament for passage into law. It wasn’t until World War I that a nation actually passed the concept of daylight saving into law. Germany, desperate to

conserve energy during wartime, was familiar with Willett’s efforts in Britain regarding the subject. Unlike the British who rejected the concept, the Germans wasted no time implementing the policy of daylight saving into law. Sadly, Willett, who had championed the daylight saving concept till his death in 1915, never lived to see it put into effect. He likely would have felt vindicated when almost every country that fought in World War I — including England — implemented daylight saving as national policy in the years that followed. In step with its European counterparts, the United States, in 1916, also enacted legislation to conserve energy via daylight savings. Along with daylight savings, Congress also enacted the Standard Time Act which split the nation up into different time
during the Bush Administration during 2005. These changes, in effect today, extended daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Even though daylight saving time was a federal mandate, it did still permit individual states to opt out by passage of state laws. Two states that have opted out are Hawaii and Arizona. The state of Hawaii chose to disregard daylight saving time altogether due to an abundance of

zones. During an era when U.S. energy consumption was highly dependent on coal, the policy was indeed an effective measure to conserve the precious resource during wartime. At the end of the war, however, the daylight saving time part of the act was repealed. In February 1942, with the advent of World War II, Congress again reinstated daylight saving time in an effort to conserve fuel and aid with national security and defense. In fact, daylight saving time was commonly referred to as “War Time,” with the time zones referred to as Eastern War Time, Pacific War Time and such. Once again, at the war’s end the law was repealed, but this time it was left up to the individual states to determine their own standard time. No rules were stipulated regarding daylight saving time, however, which for the next two decades was problematic for both the broadcast media and transportation industries, as one might imagine. It wasn’t until 1966 that Congress passed the Uniform Time Act which established both a national standard time and set daylight saving time to be in effect from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. A few changes to the law were enacted

daylight. In Arizona, where summers are blazing hot with temperatures frequently in the 100s, residents value the cool nighttime hours over daylight as it affords them more time outdoors. Complicating things further in Arizona, the Navajo nation, unlike the rest of the state, has chosen to abide by daylight saving time. The Hopi nation, on the other hand, which happens to be completely surrounded by the Navajo nation, has chosen, like the rest of the state, to ignore it. So, should you be traveling through northeastern Arizona, where the Navajo and Hopi nations reside, you might find it a bit perplexing trying to establish the time of day. On the other side of the spectrum, politicians from Florida have proposed the Sunshine Protection Act which effectively would make daylight saving time the
official time for the state, thereby doing away with standard time altogether. However, in order for this act to be formally enacted as a law, congressional approval is required on a federal level. As of 2022, the Senate has voted to support the new legislation, but the House of Representatives has yet to sign off on it. Should the legislation be approved by both the Senate and the House, it will then proceed to President Biden for his signature. As to whether the president would support the act is still undetermined. Some critics of daylight saving time cite studies that suggest the transition back from daylight saving time is connected with a higher risk of heart attack and an uptick in automobile accident fatalities. David Prerau, the author of “Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time,” explains that these cited effects are likely the result of sleep deprivation and interruptions in circadian rhythms. However, such conditions are of a short term nature and in his opinion, don’t outweigh the benefits of extra daylight. As to the future of both standard and daylight saving time, the outcome is yet to be determined. One thing is certain, though, the next time you go to change your clock, remember that daylight saving time wasn’t just Ben Franklin’s idea, but also that of a New Zealand entomologist, Chris Martin’s great grandpa, and wartime energy conservation policies. Whether you’re for or against this biannual event, know that you’re not alone — no matter which side of the equation you fall on. READ MORE AT CITYHANDSHAKE.COM 55
