DUNN CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

Breathe Easy, Live Better A compassionate tradition of natural pain relief and wellness

Could This Be You? It’s been estimated that 30 to 60 million people in America suffer from sinus congestion which can manifest in mouth breathing, dry eyes, dry mouth, snoring, limited sleep and sleep apnea, low energy, loss of smell, taste and hearing. Many have had to resort to a CPAP machine to keep their airways open, just to try and obtain a decent sleep cycle.

Who Can Benefit? Over the years, Dr. Siegfried, an international chiropractor, treated world-class athletes from the 1984 Italian Olympic Team Track and Field Division, United Arab Emirates Track and Field Team, and other world-class athletes. He’s treated Broadway dancers, San Francisco Ballet dancers, opera singers and jockeys. Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment has helped children and adults suffering with chronic sinusitis “get their life back” after experiencing a deviated septum, broken nose, concussion, whiplash injury, birth injury and more. Dr. Siegfried has helped so many patients that his colleagues have referred to him not only as the leading expert in this treatment, but also the “guru” and even the “godfather.”

Who is Dr. Siegfried and His Clinic?

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Kara Langley Do You Suffer with Chronic Sinusitis? “Thanks Dr. Siegfried. No more sinus congestion, allergies, snoring or mouth breathing,” —Niki Z. “After the eighth treatment, I was sleeping solidly for 8 straight hours for the first time in 8 years. And by the way, no more drugs!!” —Jon V.N.

Breathe Better Now! Are you sick and tired of chronic sinus congestion? Dr. George Siegfried, Chiropractic Physician at Dunn Chiropractic Clinic in McMinnville, has been helping patients breathe better with Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment since 1976. This natural, nonsurgical treatment has helped alleviate chronic sinus and other related problems even in patients who have already had sinus surgeries, or those who have considered sinus surgery prior to visiting Dr. Siegfried. “Desperate” and “at the end of their rope,” these patients are grateful for his care and expertise in providing Bilateral Nasal Specific Treatment, which he has performed thousands of times. Furthermore, this treatment uses no drugs and no needles.

Dr. Siegfried has been in practice since 1984 at the Dunn Chiropractic Clinic and is the third generation of chiropractors at that clinic. Established in McMinnville in 1922, Dunn Chiropractic has “A Compassionate Tradition of Natural Pain Relief and Wellness,” states Dr. Siegfried. The father of four grown children and grandpa to nine grandchildren, Dr. Siegfried studied over 10 years and 1,000 hours as protégé to Dr. J.R. Stober, the developer of this natural, non-surgical specialty. Treatment is selfpay as Dr. Siegfried is out of network for insurance, but patients from all over the world seek him out to help relieve their chronic sinusitis and escape the drudgery of the related suffering. To consult with Dr. Siegfried, call the clinic at (503) 472-6550, located at 301 N.E. Dunn Place, McMinnville. Clinic hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, from 9AM-6PM. Dr. Siegfried’s website is nasalspecific.com.

WESTERN OREGON UNIVERSITY

Focused. Innovative. Resourceful. Successful. Together. Western welcomes robust group of first-generation students

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos courtesy of WOU

“

here You Belong.” Western Oregon University sounds a clear message and proudly celebrates their first-generation college students. Enrollment this fall saw nearly half the student body as the first student in their family to attend college. Speaking to the university’s commitment to first-generation students, Western offers a strong support system and targeted initiative programs designed to make sure these students receive all the tools and resources they need. Founded in 1856, Western is Oregon’s oldest public university and home to roughly 4,000 students, of which approximately seventy percent are Oregon residents. The current fall term shows a five percent enrollment increase over the same period last year, which is the highest increase the university has seen in over a decade. Honoring another milestone of “firsts,”

Western celebrates their first-generation college students whose accomplishments have brought them this far. Comprising fortyseven percent of the current student body, these individuals face specific challenges that Western is strategically poised to handle. Many faculty and staff, including Western’s president, Jesse Peters, are first-generation college students, making them uniquely qualified to connect with these students. “I want Western Oregon University to provide all students with the best resources to be successful,” President Jesse Peters expresses, “and it is particularly important to me that first-generation students feel welcomed and supported.” Among Western’s fifty-plus new Diversity Scholars that were celebrated for the 2023-2024 academic year, a significant number were first-generation college students. These celebrated students were recognized for their academic excellence and commitment to diversity. Their determination to achieve a successful higher education will not only bring about their own success as an individual, but will also bestow a sense of pride and honor to their families. Another “first” found Western Oregon University the recipient of a $2 million prestigious U.S. Department of Education Title III grant for the first time. The primary goal of the grant is to increase retention of first-time students, reduce equity gaps in retention, and foster a sense of belonging among its students. Additionally, a state-of-the-art Student Success Center is under construction and scheduled for completion in 2025. It will house Western’s two robust TRIO student support programs, academic advising, career services, and additional support services, further simplifying access to the types of assistance first-generation students need to succeed. If you are the first in your family to attend college, make Western your first choice! Western Oregon University is located at 345 Monmouth Ave. N. in Monmouth.

Repeat a few times.  Add mixture back to saucepan with rest of cream. Whisking constantly over medium heat, bring back to a simmer. Do not boil.

standing. “The first show I was in was Junior High,” she recalls, and for the last 25 years she has been on Gallery’s board. Having directed a Gallery Theater show approximately every other year (with exception of COVID), Debbie explains, “I would say the most difficult job of the director is to put together the team.” That includes not only casting parts, but also costumers, set designer, lighting designer and the like. “If you get the right people and they all do what they’re supposed to do, then it works like clockwork,” Debbie says. “Anne of Green Gables” is expected to draw a substantial audience and Debbie goes on to say, “I am so pleased with the way our community supports Gallery Theater. We’ve been so welcomed back since the pandemic — our audiences are as large or larger than ever and the charitable gifts to support the theater have been amazing.” As a community theater, Gallery operates almost exclusively through volunteer efforts. It’s a great place for people who want to volunteer their

allery Theater winds up the fall season in McMinnville with a delightful production of “Anne of Green Gables.” Running through December 17, it was originally scheduled to take the stage in 2020, but was postponed when the theater closed its doors during the pandemic. Now back in full swing, Gallery Theater returns to the McMinnville community for all to enjoy. Directed by Debbie Harmon Ferry, this is not the first time she’s lent Gallery Theater her expertise in the telling of this story. Twenty years ago, “Anne of Green Gables” was one of the first productions she directed for Gallery Theater and Debbie admits that she had a lot of fun doing it. The cast and crew are mostly local to Yamhill County, primarily McMinnville with an occasional member coming from Salem, Keizer or Newberg. Meredith Simons, who plays Marilla Cuthbert, also played Marilla once before when Debbie directed “Anne of Avonlea.” Debbie comments, “I’ve known her since I was in high school!” A local resident herself, Debbie shares that her relationship with Gallery Theater has been long

time — whether they want to usher, be on stage, paint, sew a costume or share whatever skills they have or even learn new skills. “I love that in my cast, I have people that are 8 years old and I have people in their mid-70s. They all interact well together and support each other — I just really love that about community theater,” Debbie expresses. She adds that she always needs more actors to play male roles. If you’re at all interested, turn out for auditions – “you never know,” she says. Gallery Theater is located at 210 N.E. Ford Street in McMinnville. Please call (503) 472-2227, email info@gallerytheater.org or visit the website, gallerytheater.org for additional information on shows and events, curtain times, ticket sales and seating.

CAITLAN HONER

C.G. Honer Local fantasy author self-publishes her first book!

By Dennis McNabb, Staff Writer

here is a common conception that “everyone has at least one book in them,” that we all have a story to tell, it’s just a matter of putting pen to paper. But if that was the case, we’d all be authors. The truth is, writing a novel takes time — a lot of time — plus patience, discipline, and resolve, and the vast majority of us just don’t possess that kind of determination. Even for those who do, there is the issue of developing that seed of an idea into a logical and compelling narrative that might resonate with others. It’s really quite a remarkable accomplishment when anyone succeeds in doing so, and it is an event worthy of recognition, praise and support. Caitlan “C.G.” Honer, who resides right here in Canby, just released her first novel, “These Gilded Bones May Bloom,” in 2023, and fans of the Fantasy Genre should take note! While this short story anthology is blooming with an eclectic mix of comedy, dark academia, gothic literature, and horror, it’s primarily a fantasy novel. Taken directly from her write-up on Amazon, the book is described this way: “29 short stories. Three unique worlds. One navigates battlefields of countryside and cobblestone. Another ensnares lost souls and sweethearts. And the last is tormented by deities better left forgotten.” “These Gilded Bones May Bloom” [is] a collection of enemies and lovers, sprawling cities and hungry seas, stretching from the hidden magic of

our own world to the far reaches of your wildest dreams and nightmares. Journey through the Ash Woods, a dangerous forest guarding the body of a long-dead soldier. Follow a thief as he steals into an extravagant garden party. Study the siren of Berkshire University, and the student hellbent on setting her free. Brought to life through sweeping prose and lush illustrations, lose yourself in tales where the morally gray is king, fate doesn’t play fair, and “The End” isn’t always what it seems. I had the pleasure of speaking with C.G. and found her to be both incredibly humble and passionately engaging with regard to her work. She has been writing for over a decade, honing her craft while establishing a vast and magical realm populated with a recurring cast of characters. Inspired to become a published author on her “golden birthday” (she turned 29 on the 29th of January), this book of 29 stories was released on that day to rave reviews, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. For those who enjoy these stories and wish to delve deeper, she has a collection of manuscripts (in various stages of completion) which she is currently developing and they are all centered around many of the same characters developed in her first book. Influenced by the likes of Leigh Bardugo and Holly Black, C.G.’s brand of YA Fantasy is beautifully crafted with unforgettable characters and genuine emotional depth. The book cover art is gorgeous, and the currentlyavailable edition includes illustrations! Order your copy on Amazon today and catch this talented young writer on the rise!

HISTORY

THE HISTORY OF COFFEE

The Humble Bean to Bold Beverage From 9th century North Africa to your local cafe By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

s rain falls from the skies of the Pacific Northwest, so too does coffee pour into the cups of local residents adding pep to their step and steamy, warm, comfort to lift the spirits. But where did coffee come from in the first place, and just how did it become one of the most popular beverages around the world? While no one can definitively pinpoint precisely when coffee was invented, nor the name of the first person to roast coffee beans, grind them, and mix them with water, historians agree that coffee originated in the areas of modern-day Ethiopia and Yemen. Legend tells of a 9th century goat herder named Kaldi, who noticed that his goats, after eating coffee berries, became so energetic that they barely slept all night. Kaldi reported his discovery to the abbot of a local monastery who brewed a drink with the berries which increased alertness for the monks through their long hours of evening prayers. It wasn’t long before word spread to the nearby Arabian Peninsula of the miraculous drink, and traders 20 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

eventually Clement himself, after tasting the new beverage, introduced found it pleasing. Instead of banning coffee, he coffee bestowed his blessing upon the drink. With the throughout Pope’s blessing, the green light went on for coffee the region. throughout Christendom. Illustration of Kaldi While As for the Americas, coffee crossed the Kaldi and the coffee drinking monks are Atlantic in the 17th and 18th centuries from anything but a historical fact, it is known Europe. In North America, coffee arrived in the for certain that by the 15th century, New World from the British via New Amsterdam coffee houses had spread throughout the — later renamed New York by the American Near East. From Turkey to Egypt, these colonists. One event in particular that served establishments became not only places as the impetus for coffee culture in the United to enjoy a hot cup of coffee, but popular States was the tax on tea levied on the colonists spots to socialize, listen to music, play by King George games, and learn of current events. III. The subsequent As for Europe, historians point to Boston Tea Party that the Siege of Vienna by the Turks in 1683 erupted as a result as one of the key events instrumental of this tax spurred in the spread of coffee to the West. In many Americans to the aftermath of the war, coffee from abandon tea for coffee, the Turks made its way to Viennese to the point that locals who became enamored with the Thomas Jefferson later new beverage. As time passed, coffee proclaimed coffee as houses emerged not only in Vienna, but “the favorite drink of throughout Austria and neighboring the civilized world.” countries as well. It is the Austrians who The Caribbean, are credited with the addition of milk Central, and South and sugar to coffee. America owe their Around the same time, the beverage coffee industry to a young French naval officer, Gabriel also arrived in Italy, likely through Venetian traders who ranged throughout de Clieu, who smuggled a seedling from a coffee plant in the Middle East and North Africa. the Royal Botanical Garden in While coffee provoked suspicion in Paris (the plant had been a gift from some, such as the advisors of Pope the Mayor of Amsterdam to King Louis Clement VIII who went so far as to XIV) and transported it across the Atlantic call it the “bitter invention of Satan,”

to the island of Martinique, despite attempts by a saboteur to kill the plant, an attack by pirates, and severe storms at sea. This hardy seedling went on to parent all the coffee trees cultivated throughout this part of the world — a region that has become one of the premier coffee production areas on the planet. Brazil’s famous coffee owes its start to Francisco de Melo Palheta, who was dispatched by the governor of Brazil to help mediate a conflict between neighboring French and Dutch Guiana. Arriving in Cayenne, the capital city of French Guiana, part of Palheta’s mission was to smuggle some coffee plants which were closely guarded by the French. As the story goes, a romantic dalliance between Palheta and the wife of the Governor of Cayenne led to her passing a bouquet to a Brazilian officer containing a coffee seedling concealed among the flowers. This seedling was supposedly the progenitor of Brazil’s coffee industry. Whether the romantic part of the story is true or not, it is documented that Palheta was successful in bringing thousands of coffee seeds and several plants back to Brazil. Gabriel de Clieu By the 18th century, coffee had grown to be one of the world’s most profitable commodities. Consumption and popularity in the U.S. grew, particularly during the Civil War, and enterprising businessmen such as brothers John and Charles Arbuckle grew wealthy selling pre-roasted coffee by the pound to cowboys in the West. James Folger, who peddled coffee to gold miners in California, also profited greatly. Big name coffee brands including Maxwell House and Hills Brothers quickly followed suit. Following World War II, instant coffee was developed, simplifying the coffee-making process, though not necessarily improving the flavor. With the emergence of Starbucks in Seattle in 1971, the quality of coffee available to the consumer improved through better sourcing and preparation techniques. Consistent, quality coffee became available to people across America, with beverages tailored specifically to the palate of each individual customer. Today, the coffee revolution has evolved. Small, independently owned coffee shops are taking it to

the next level. A focus on sustainability, local roasting, and fair trade beans are at the forefront of the new movement. Sourcing, roasting techniques, and brewing methods are all aspects of the equation that today’s coffee entrepreneurs are relentlessly improving in their drive to bring the highest quality coffee to market. So, the next time you’re enjoying a steaming coffee beverage — whether it be a latte, mocha, cold brew, espresso, or just a plain old cup of Joe — know that the history behind the humble coffee bean, and its evolution through time, was a long and arduous journey filled with lively characters, distant places, and enterprising individuals who treasured this miraculous bean of the tropics.
