WHAT TO DO IN A DENTAL EMERGENCY

It’s important to take action quickly in emergency dental situations. Below are a few tips on how to handle tooth injuries and pains:

KNOCKED-OUT TOOTH

Find the tooth immediately and place it in a glass of slightly salted tap water or cold milk without first cleaning or scrubbing it. Take the tooth to your dentist as soon as possible, preferably within 30 minutes of the injury, and he or she may be able to replace it in your mouth.

BROKEN TOOTH

Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area and soothe the tooth. Place an ice pack on the cheek nearest the injury to help keep the swelling down. See your dentist as soon as possible.

TOOTHACHES

Keep food away from the tooth that hurts. Rinse your mouth with warm water after eating and floss your teeth. If your jaw is swollen, place an ice pack on the cheek that hurts. Do not put heat or aspirin on the painful areas.

Toothaches can have a number of causes, such as an unnoticed cavity, gum disease, a crack in a tooth, or a new filling that doesn’t fit right. See the dentist as soon as possible, particularly if swelling is present.

MOUTH SORES

Avoid acidic foods, such as oranges and pineapples, which can “sting” the sores. Often, sores in the mouth are canker sores, which are small ulcers. Call your dentist if your mouth sores persist for more than two weeks. If you notice any lumps or white patches in or around your mouth, you should see your dentist immediately, as they may indicate a more serious problem.

Whenever you have a tooth injury or pain, it’s important to seek care from your dentist as soon as possible. Keep your dentist’s phone number handy! This article was

“Hey, waiter, I’m in my soup.” I saw this in the theater when I was a mere 11 years old, and it was and remains a fantastic family movie. Full of adventure, comedy and romance, this is an early yet masterly work from John Lasseter — writer (and sometimes director) of movies such as “Toy Story” 1-4 and “Cars.” The story follows an oddball klutzy ant who accidentally destroys the food supply used as a bribe for a group of bully grasshoppers. Rather than pay double the food or be destroyed, Flik (Dave Foley) goes looking for recruits to fight the grasshoppers. With a star-studded cast including Kevin Spacey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Denis Leary and many more. A great movie full of sunshine and nature! Rated G.

“Bueller? Bueller?

Bueller? Bueller?” From writer-director John Hughes, the unforgettable Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is a happy-go-lucky high school senior in the suburbs of Chicago.

“Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” What can you say about this movie that hasn’t been said? A musical fantasy filmed in early Technicolor and bursting with spring colors, the iconic transitional scene from black and white to color and the movie’s theme of growth is very much representative of the changing seasons. A cinematic masterpiece and adaptation of L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel, the story follows young Dorothy and her little dog Toto who quest to find the Wizard of Oz and get home to Kansas, encountering friends and foes along the way. Full of heart, music and adventure, this movie still holds up almost 100 years later. Rated G but due to some scary content, treat this as a PG.

An inquisitive and clever rulebreaker, Ferris schemes his way out of school on a perfect spring day. He enlists his best friend Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck), a neurotic pessimist, and girlfriend Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara), rebellious and equally clever. They embark on a daylong adventure — stealing Cameron’s father’s priceless Ferrari convertible, much to his anxiety — and crashing a parade, a baseball game, a fancy lunch, and the local sights, all the while avoiding parents, Ferris’s jealous sister Jeanie, gossiping school kids, and the high school principal, Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), who’s hellbent on catching Ferris. This is a paragon of “quirky comedy” and a great reminder to go with the flow and have fun. Rated PG-13 for strong language and mature content.

Stream these movies where available, or rent from your local movie store, library or rental kiosk.

Molière in Mac

“The Imaginary Invalid” promises laughter

By Kelly Romo, Contributing Writer

Adazzling comedy that harmonizes with the rebellious spirit of the late-1960s, “The Imaginary Invalid” is a refreshingly buoyant production that brings to life the age-old humor of self-deception and medical malpractice. It is more than a play; it’s a critical yet hilariously entertaining look at human folly and the ridiculous extent of our quest for well-being.

Molière’s original play, “The Imaginary Invalid,” directly mocks the fake doctors and hypochondriacs of 17th-century Paris. The play centers on Argan, a wealthy man obsessed with his health, who falls for ridiculous medical treatments from bizarre doctors. Argan finds himself in a world of ridiculous mix-ups and outlandish cures, all while dealing with his family members who each have their own agenda.

Linfield’s production is a modern adaptation by Oded Gross and Tracy Young. The play explores the same timeless themes but sets it in the late 1960s, creating a fresh and accessible narrative. The musical score resonates with the upbeat melodies of the ‘60s, such as “The Age of Aquarius” and even borrows chords from “2001: A Space Odyssey,” while still holding true to Molière’s original satire.

Linfield Theatre’s creative team spared no detail in crafting a ‘60s Parisian set that serves as a canvas for the chaos of this comedic farce. A replica of the Eiffel Tower, sofas with pillshaped cushions and scenic vistas of Paris landmarks bring the audience into the heart of France’s capital for this immersive and hilarious production.

For the director, Janet Gupton, one of the most rewarding parts of directing a play such as “The Imaginary Invalid” is collaborating with the designers, crew and actors to unearth the spectacular humor and satirical elements that permeate every scene. Costume design for “The Imaginary Invalid” is a vibrant exploration of 1960s Parisian fashion. The costume designer Laurel Peterson’s commitment to historical accuracy while infusing the essence of satire is evident in the bold and eclectic wardrobe choices that defined the period and the characters’ larger-than-life personas.

Linfield’s rendition of “The Imaginary Invalid” promises to be a delightful plunge into the absurd and serves as a poignant reminder to cast a critical eye on the nonsense of our times.

Make sure to secure your spot in the audience! The production of “The Imaginary Invalid” will be at Linfield University’s Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall on April 18–20 and April 25–26 at 7:30 p.m. There will be a matinee performance on April 28 at 2 p.m. This play may not be suitable for all audiences due to mature themes and language. It is recommended for ages 13 and older.

Tickets are $12. Seniors can attend for $10 and students 13 and older for $8. Starting April 3, you can purchase tickets on www.linfield.edu/arts/theatre.html. For more information, please call 503-883-2292.

The history of Alpenrose Dairy

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

Pony rides? Baseball? Go kart racing? A person unfamiliar with the history of Alpenrose Dairy might frown in confusion at the mention of such activities in relationship to a dairy, but for those of us fortunate enough to have grown up in the Portland area during the last half of the 20th century, the name Alpenrose conjures up so much more than just dairy products.

It all began in 1896 when Florian Cadonau, a Swiss immigrant, moved to Oregon with his wife Agnes. The couple purchased a dairy at 35th and Vermont (known then as Hoffman Road) and started delivering milk to customers via horse-drawn buggy. At the time, many Swiss immigrants were moving to Portland due to the state’s fertile land and temperate climate. So similar were Oregon and Switzerland in this respect that in 1912, Paul Ritter, the Swiss Ambassador to the United States, while touring the state called Oregon “a second, but a larger Switzerland.”

In 1916, Henry Cadonau, Florian’s son, along with his wife Rosina (daughter of the Swiss consul to Portland) took over the family business. Henry and Rosina established their own farm nearby at 45th and Vermont which they named Alpenrose Dairy. The next few decades saw Alpenrose expand its operations, thriving while other competing dairies fell prey to mergers and consolidations. However, in 1943 a fire destroyed a barn and other equipment, and the decision was made to relocate Alpenrose to its present location on Shattuck Road. For years the Alpenrose delivery truck was a common sight in Portland neighborhoods, delivering milk in glass bottles straight to the milk box at one’s front door. At its height, Alpenrose had 50 delivery trucks and 35,000 customers.

It was during the 1950s when Henry’s grandsons were playing baseball too near Rosina’s rose garden (and trampling some of her plants) that she tasked her husband with building a baseball field for the boys. It wasn’t long before the local Little League was playing there also, and dugouts, lights, and a scoreboard were subsequently added. In the following years two more fields were constructed, and Alpenrose became known for its excellent baseball facilities. For a number of years Alpenrose Field even hosted the Little League Softball World Series which was broadcast on ESPN.

As it turned out, the baseball fields were just the beginning of Alpenrose’s involvement in the community. A hundred Shetland ponies were purchased by the family shortly thereafter, and pony rides were offered to children visiting the dairy. The Cadonaus also brought the ponies to local events — making it possible for numerous children to experience their first horseback ride. Alpenrose trotted out their ponies to represent the dairy in many city parades as well.

Soon baseball and ponies were not the only attractions drawing people to Alpenrose. Uncle Ray, the father of Rod Birkland — a cousin of the Cadonau boys — being mechanically-minded, came up with the idea of a quarter-midget racing track. It wasn’t long before the idea became a reality, and child-sized race cars were zooming around a track a quarter-mile in length, set in a natural bowl shaped area with seating for up to 500 spectators. In addition to the midget racing track, a velodrome facility was added in 1967 for bicycle racing. Carl Cadonau Sr. was sold the idea by the owner of Kissler’s Cyclery, a longtime bicycle shop in Southwest Portland. At the time the Pan American games needed a location for cycling trials. The Alpenrose Velodrome was one of the first constructed in the U.S. for that purpose, and with the steepest bank of any outdoor velodrome in the world, it drew enthusiasts from around the globe.

With the popularity of the aforementioned facilities, the Cadonaus created a final addition to their burgeoning recreational wonderland — Dairyville. A dairy-themed village with Old Weststyle storefronts, the charming attraction featured a doll museum, a harness-maker’s shop, an ice cream parlor, a music shop, and a 600-seat opera house with a Skinner pipe organ (now located in Portland’s Keller Auditorium). For decades, Dairyland was the nexus of a plethora of community events, ranging from “Sunday Fundays” featuring kite flying and frog races to visits from Rusty Nails, a popular clown with a local television show for children. From trapeze acts to chariot racing, Alpenrose grew from just a local attraction to a major amusement venue for the entire region.

Rosina Cadonau became known simply as “Grandma” to generations of fourthgraders who field-tripped to Alpenrose to learn the operations of a dairy. “Swiss Miss” taught the children how to milk a cow and then escorted them across the street for ice cream and cookies baked by “Grandma.”

The winter holiday season saw Alpenrose transform into a magical place. Christmas in Dairyville featured Storybook Lane, an elaborate display with live animal displays and 300 Christmas trees set in a miniature town. Each year 400 volunteers gathered to set up and host this

traditional event that drew thousands of families from around the area.

Today, Alpenrose Dairy remains in operation, but Dairyville is closed. The race tracks and sports fields, too, face an uncertain future. A dispute between family members that ended in litigation resulted in Alpenrose being sold to the Kent, Washington-based Smith Brothers Farms. Smith Brothers continue to operate the dairy under the Alpenrose name. In July of 2021, items from the former Storybook Lane and Dairyville were sold at auction, bringing to a close one of Portland’s most cherished cultural treasures.

For those of us who grew up in Portland with the good fortune to partake in the sporting events, pony rides, fireworks, and holiday fun that was Alpenrose, we will forever miss this magical place. But we should all thank the Cadonau family for their generosity, decades of hard work, and a community spirit that transformed a regular dairy into a place that will reside in our memories forever!

Escape to Tranquility

Family-owned winery and B&B in the heart of wine country

By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer

Photos courtesy of Abbey Road

Farm

There are few places in the world more enchanting than Oregon Wine Country. As stewards of the valley floor, the Wilkens family of Abbey Road Farm are passionate about nurturing the land to its full potential, cultivating over 45 acres of grapes and 16 unique varietals you won’t find elsewhere. Abbey Road is a place to celebrate Oregon’s bounty with exquisitely crafted wines, food pairings from the culinary garden and an award-winning venue nestled amidst tranquil foothills.

In the 1960s, the 82-acre farm was a horse boarding and training facility. The Stewart family purchased the land in the late 1990s and ran it as a wheat and grass seed farm, also adding a bed and breakfast housed in the three grain silos. When the Wilkens bought the property in 2017, they saw the potential in the soil and immediately started planting grapes and transforming the 1960s pole barn that was the horse-riding arena into a winery production facility and tasting room.

Abbey Road is well-known for its distinctive selection of wines. “Our plan from the beginning was to expand the wines Oregon is known for,” explains Operations Manager Kristen Baxter. “We have all sorts of rare varietals we play with. Last year, in our 2023 vintage, we had around 26 different skews.” With

the expertise of Director of Wine-Making

Blair Rayson, Abbey Road and Wilkens Family wines feature organically grown grapes typically found in other parts of the world, like Trousseau, an old variety of red wine grape primarily grown in France and Portugal. It’s famous for wines deeply cherry-red in color with punchy flavors and high alcohol content.

Open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the cozy tasting room currently features two flights of all reds or all whites that change about every other week. Indoor and outdoor seating is available, with covered pergolas and picnic tables on the lawn. Guests are invited to explore the farm, glass in hand, free to gaze at the panoramic views of sprawling vineyards, abundant orchards, hiking trails, a hazelnut plantation and the Trappist Abbey Monastery. The Farm Loop is a path for winetasters and families to follow through the farm and meet all the animals including goats, alpacas, donkeys, pigs, highland cows, chickens, turkeys, ducks and a few peacocks that strut prettily around the property.

In addition to the grape fields, Abbey Road cultivates a 1.5acre produce farm, where Chef Will Preisch utilizes the culinary garden and honey from the bees to curate fresh farm-to-fork pairings with Pacific Northwest ingredients for the tasting room, bed and breakfast, and the farm’s sister restaurant in SE Portland, Quaintrelle.

“The menu has fun snacks like a charcuterie board and housemade Chex mix, along with fancier options like chicken liver mousse and a pork rillette,” says Kristen. “The expanded offerings for last winter included an incredible crab linguine pasta. It’s more than just a snack-tasting menu.” Starting in the Spring, guests can reserve a multi-course, sit-down tasting with Chef Will and the farm’s Director of Hospitality. Each course is deliciously paired with complementary varietals.

Housed in renovated grain silos, the five luxurious Bed and Breakfast suites were refinished and decorated over the winter. Abbey Road is excited to re-open on April 24th with a new updated look. The suites overlook the vineyards and the silo garden, a curated garden full of colorful roses and other fun plants, and guests are encouraged

to explore the property to relax and soak in the beauty of the land. All stays include a glass of wine at the tasting room and the real treat, an incredible multi-course breakfast from Chef Will Preisch, known for being one of the best in the valley.

The heart of wine country is the perfect backdrop for your next event, and Abbey Road Farm has finished out the former horse-riding arena into an awardwinning venue that can accommodate up to 200 guests. Named the best venue

in Western Oregon in last year’s issue of Oregon Bride Magazine, it offers a turf lawn that stays green and beautiful year-round, quintessential for any group celebration like weddings, corporate events and farm-to-table dinners.

To support the local community, the farm hosts seasonal events throughout the year, like Silobration NW, a twoday family-friendly festival during the summer featuring a chance for Pacific Northwest makers to sell their artisanal goods. The Holiday Light Wine Walk is a fun and festive event for all ages where visitors can walk the farm at night with music and giant light displays accompanied by cups of hot mulled wine or hot chocolate. The event runs from the weekend of Thanksgiving through the weekend before Christmas, and each weekend supports a different local nonprofit.

Yamhill County is home to countless farms, restaurants, and wineries, but where you’d think there’d be competition, they want to support each other. Abbey Road Farm is proud to be part of that initiative. “I think we’ve realized that if we work together, ‘a rising tide lifts all boats,’ as they say,” Kristen says.

Abbey Road Farm is located at 10501 NE Abbey Rd. in Carlton. Please give them a call at 503-687-3100 or visit their website at abbeyroadfarm.com.

NEWBERG ROTARIANS: SUPPORTING COMMUNITY PROJECTS SERVICE ABOVE SELF

Every service program or non-profit out there doing good in communities started as an idea. However, the thought of building a program can feel daunting for anyone, especially teens and young adults with no resources to work with. This was not the case in 2019 for then 16 year old Newbergundian Kyla Riddle. Kyla was a National Honors Society student homeschooling through the Sheridan AllPrep Academy and was looking for an opportunity to make a difference in her Newberg community.

She was introduced to a program in Canby, Oregon called Operation Snuggle who had been into action for over a decade making blankets for people in need. She realized that these blankets brought more than physical comfort, but this simple act of kindness brought a deeper comfort for recipients by showing that they were cared about and loved. This inspiration to serve led to a goal to bring the same kindness to Newberg and the surrounding area. Kyla’s goal was to make 10 to 15 blankets and gift them to an outreach center in hopes to spread that same comfort to local homeless children. Kyla spoke to her neighbor, a long time Newberg Noon Rotarian, about resources and was thrilled to receive a grant from Rotary to fund her mission. She far exceeded her goal, donating a total of 35 and had a great time doing good.

The mission, however, didn’t end there. After the wrap up of her project she received a lot of gratitude and encouragement from the community and volunteers involved in that first year to keep her project going as an annual effort. Tied with Love became an annual project and has grown year after year. Now 20 years old, Kyla continues to facilitate and run this project each year, having

provided hundreds of blankets to Helping Hands, Henderson House, Provoking Hope and other programs and shelters.

When asked about why she continues Tied with Love each year, she put it simply, “I organize Tied With Love because I love it. This project is a lot of fun, it touches the lives of so many people, and it is such an amazing opportunity to bring the community together to serve in a way that meets a need for love and support felt by the homeless children in our communities.” She truly has brought a lot of people and programs together. Newberg Noon Rotary has continued each year as a primary sponsor, however she also receives key resources from all over the community including monetary donations and volunteers who help cut and tie the blankets (friends, family, Rotarians, Friendsview Retirement Community, NHS Interact Club, and more), donations of space to host the event (Family Life Church some years and Northwest Christian Church in other years), and so many others. Kyla hopes to continue to grow this effort and, in the future, turn it into a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit.

This year, Kyla will be coordinating the 6th annual Tied With Love volunteering event which will take place on May 4, 2024 from 10am to 2pm at the Family Life Church in Newberg. She noted that this event is an open house type of an event and is open to any and all who want to stop by. No prerequisite skill or experience is needed to participate, as they will demonstrate the process when you arrive.
