Caribbean Bliss

Bistro Cubano’s Orange Shrimp Skewers Delight!

Introducing our signature dish: Caribbean Orange Shrimp Skewers. Picture succulent, seasoned prawns, grilled over an open flame to perfection, then generously brushed with our house-made tangy sweet citrus glaze. This glaze isn’t just any sauce; it’s a symphony of tropical flavors, reminiscent of the vibrant culinary tapestry of the Caribbean islands. Infused with the essence of ripe oranges and a subtle kick of heat, it’s a taste sensation that transports you to sun-kissed shores with every bite.

But this dish isn’t just about the shrimp; it’s a celebration of Caribbean cuisine and its rich history. In the Caribbean, seafood reigns supreme, and bold flavors are the norm. Drawing inspiration from this culinary heritage, we’ve crafted a dish that pays homage to the region’s abundance of seafood and tropical fruits.

Served atop a bed of fragrant saffron rice, our Caribbean Orange Shrimp Skewers are accompanied by a side of Cuban

coleslaw. Now you might wonder what sets Cuban coleslaw apart? It’s all in the dressing. Instead of the traditional mayonnaise base, we’ve elevated it with our creamy passion fruit vinaigrette, adding a refreshing twist to this classic side.

This dish isn’t just a culinary creation; it’s a labor of love that has captured the hearts and palates of our patrons. Originally introduced as a special, it quickly became a crowd favorite, selling out week after week. Such overwhelming demand led us to make it a permanent fixture on our menu, a testament to its irresistible blend of flavors and the enduring legacy of Caribbean cuisine.

And where better to savor this culinary delight than at Bistro Cubano, nestled in the heart of Oregon City?

With its warm ambiance and hospitable charm, Bistro Cubano offers more than just a meal: it’s an experience that transports you to the vibrant streets of Havana or the tranquil beaches of the Caribbean. Whether you’re a seasoned regular or a first-time visitor, our Caribbean Orange Shrimp Skewers await you, ready to tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving more.

Oregon City’s premier riverfront restaurant

By Angie Helvey, Contributing Writer

It’s easy to take the Willamette River for granted. So many of us drive along its path every day, and we are in too much of a hurry to notice the picturesque and serene views accessible from the main highways. Rivershore Bar & Grill, attached to the Rivershore Hotel where I-205 intersects with McLoughlin Boulevard, is also a gem hidden in plain sight. This cozy yet elegant restaurant features exquisite cuisine with a Pacific Northwest flair, outdoor seating, a lively bar area and lovely views of the Willamette River from every seat.

A meal on the riverfront is always a treat, and Rivershore Bar & Grill has excellent offerings for all three meals of the day, plus any others you’d like to fit in! Enjoy a sizzling hot breakfast with classic dishes you’ll love, such as eggs benedict, french toast, or biscuits smothered in homemade country gravy. At lunch and dinner, choose from the tasty crab and shrimp melt, crispy boneless fried chicken, BBQ baby back ribs, and an ample selection of colorful salads, juicy burgers and loaded sandwiches.

The restaurant is famous for its halibut and cod fish and chips and an impressive choice of surf and turf featuring beautiful cuts of grass-fed beef like ribeye blue and filet mignon, and fresh, succulent seafood options like halibut creole, grilled prawn skewers, and salmon stuffed with feta cheese, crab and bay shrimp. The chef is passionate about using the best quality products available. And don’t forget about dessert! Finish your meal with a slice of rich and creamy cheesecake made fresh by Beloved Cheesecakes in Silverton.

The bar at the Rivershore is the perfect venue to relax and enjoy a cold beer or expertly crafted cocktail with superior snacks at discounted prices. Happy Hour is daily from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and all day on Sundays, and is a great hangout to watch a football game on the big-screen TVs. Events go on all week, from Trivia on Thursdays to live music on Fridays and karaoke every Saturday. It’s a place to let your hair down and have some fun! Beer is on tap and bottled, and the wine selection includes some local wines straight from the Willamette Valley, many California wines, and a few unique European options. Guests can also indulge in specialty cocktails featuring topshelf spirits poured to perfection by their talented bartenders. Seasonal options include tasty holiday specials like a Peppermint Patty with peppermint schnapps and hot chocolate, Hot Buttered Rum, and a Christmas Cosmo.

Rivershore runs weekly specials, such as the Monday Night Steak Special. Diners can select their favorite cut of meat for a three-course meal, starting at $18.95 for the 8-ounce top sirloin. Stop by for brunch on Sundays, on Tuesdays for tacos in the bar, or on Wine Wednesdays and enjoy $10 off all bottles of wine. If you’re looking for an elegant venue to hold an event, the Willamette Room can be reserved for up to 100 guests and offers a fine selection of buffets and bar service to make your gathering extra special. Guests can relax outside on the heated deck or the patio when the weather is nice.

Despite being a bit of a secret spot, Rivershore has plenty of regulars who stumbled upon it and haven’t looked back. “We have customers who come in several times a week. We are their staple when they go out to eat,” says Manager Hayley O’Brien. The team also enjoys the rewarding experience that comes from meeting new patrons. “People will say they’ve been living here for years and have never been in, so it’s fun to create a new and exciting experience they love and can’t wait to come back for.”

Owned by Emanuel “Manny” Hilario of The One Group Hospitality Inc., Rivershore Bar & Grill has something for everyone, whether you’re out for a casual happy hour with friends, a midday work luncheon, or looking to celebrate a special event with an upscale dining experience. Join them for the holidays this year, including a New Year’s Eve party in the bar that’s sure to ring your bell.

The Family Legacy Continues

Same corner, same amazing food, fun and fantastic service

decades. It’s warm, it’s inviting, and it’s everything you look for in a tavern.

And the food is outstanding! If you’ve been before, the menu hasn’t changed much, but Tracie understands the importance of not fixing what isn’t broken. If you’re coming in for your favorite burgers or ribs, fear not, they still serve them! What she has done though is add a couple of exciting new dishes.

The tavern at the corner where Borland and Stafford Roads intersect has been owned by the Wanker family since its inception back in 1961. Walter “Dubs” Wanker was a passionate and hard-working man, and it was his distinct vision which established a legacy that has persisted for over 60 years. Passed down first to his daughter and most recently (as of January 2022) to his granddaughter, Tracie Tolbert, the family tradition lives on! And it has never been stronger! Walking into Dub’s Tavern is like walking through a portal back to the ’60s. The walls are teeming with fun and fantastic bits of nostalgia: old license plates, hats, photos, you name it. An entire evening could be spent enthralled with the decor, and you won’t even have witnessed half of what there is to see. It’s a veritable archive of local events which have taken place over the past six

So next time you’re in, try their brisket sandwich, one of their pulled pork items, or one of their new appetizers. And for the first time in their long history, they are now serving amazing breakfasts on Saturdays and Sundays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Since Tracie took the reins last year, she has put her heart and soul into honoring the legacy her family built while subtly making some small improvements and upgrades to carry them over the next 60 years. Some of you will have already noticed that she installed a new deck with heaters, a cover, and is working on getting ADA compliant restrooms. And there will be more changes to come as she adjusts to her new role.

Most importantly, she goes to work every day with a smile. She loves nothing more than seeing familiar faces and welcoming them in. This is a locally-owned and -operated business with ties to the community going back decades. If you’ve been looking for a neighborhood bar to call home, look no further than Dub’s Tavern.

Happy Hour is 3 to 6 p.m. and 9 to 11 p.m. every day but Sunday. Come down and get a taste of local!

Dub’s Tavern is located at 2509 SW Borland Road in West Linn. Give them a call at (503) 638-2523.

The history of Father’s Day

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

Father’s Day will be celebrated on June 16 this year. Father’s Day, a holiday celebrated around the world, is a day dedicated to honoring fathers and father figures.

The origins of Father’s Day can be traced back to the early 20th century in the United States. The holiday’s establishment is often credited to Sonora Smart Dodd, who was inspired by the newly recognized Mother’s Day. Sonora, the daughter of a Civil War veteran and single father, William Jackson Smart, wanted to honor her father’s selfless service in the war. So in 1909 she proposed the idea of Father’s Day to local ministers in Spokane, Washington, to be celebrated on June 5, her father’s birthday. However, there wasn’t enough time to prepare for the holiday that year, so the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910.

popular as the holiday became more mainstream and commercial.

In the mid-20th century, the roles of fatherhood began to shift, with an increasing emphasis on fathers being more involved in raising the children and doing more things around the house. This social shift could be seen in how people viewed Father’s Day as a celebration, not only of paternal authority but also of paternal love, care and nurturing.

Father’s Day gradually gained popularity, with several attempts made to establish it as a national holiday. It wasn’t until 1972 that President Richard Nixon officially recognized Father’s Day as a national holiday in the United States, to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June each year.

Throughout its history, Father’s Day underwent several transformations due to cultural, social and economic factors. Initially, it was celebrated with the simple gestures of wearing a red rose to honor a living father and a white rose to honor a deceased father. Greeting cards, often accompanied by gifts and family gatherings, became increasingly

Around the world, Father’s Day has different origins and traditions. In many countries, it’s celebrated on different dates and with varying traditions. For example, in Catholic countries like Spain and Portugal, Father’s Day is celebrated on March 19, coinciding with the Feast of St. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ. In Germany, Father’s Day, known as “Vatertag,” is celebrated on Ascension Day, with traditions that include men going on hiking trips and pulling wagons filled with beer.

Today, Father’s Day is celebrated worldwide with a variety of traditions, ranging from simple acts of appreciation to elaborate family gatherings, gift-giving and beer-filled wagons (yes, please!). While its commercialization is often criticized, Father’s Day remains an important holiday for expressing gratitude and love for fathers and father figures, honoring their contributions to family and society as a whole.

As a father myself, I wish you and your families a “Happy Father’s Day!” this June.

most realistic, imaginative video games for both consoles and streaming platforms, many enthusiasts are increasingly looking to the past for a familiar, relaxing and affordable gaming experience.

With the dizzying array of tantalizingly new games out there, complete with ultra-high definition graphics and immersive music and storylines, the rising popularity of old low-tech games with pixelated graphics and simplistic controls is a bit of a head-scratcher. In order to wrap one’s mind around this curious phenomenon, it’s important to understand what the term “retro game” refers to. In gaming parlance the term “retro gaming” instantaneously evokes primitive but charming 8-bit graphics, intuitive straightforward gameplay that is addictive and challenging, yet is, at its core, innately simple.

The heyday of these retro games was back in the 70s and 80s when the internet was still a dream, and words like “cell phone” and “streaming” had not yet entered the common lexicon.

experience was to play these games standing up on arcade machines located in pizza parlors, convenience stores and malls across America.

For those of us who grew up during this era the nostalgia factor is immense. As the world continually grows faster and more complex, there is a certain comfort in the return to something familiar. Engaging again with the graphics, sounds and challenges of these simple games has the ability to evoke the past, like a time capsule transporting one back to the days of their youth. Whether rescuing the princess in the various castles of Super Mario Brothers, zapping fast flowing insects in Centipede or defending humanity from invaders from outer space in Galaxian or Space Invaders, engaging once again with these simple yet thrilling games is like reacquainting oneself with an old friend.

Another lure of retro games is their simplicity. Unlike contemporary video games whose complexity often mirrors real life, retro games offer a binary experience that requires minimal decision making and strategizing. In a world where everevolving technology demands increasing levels of expertise and knowledge,

the straightforward gameplay of retro games can be a refreshing change of pace. Basic hand/eye coordination and reaction time are typically the skills required in retro games, versus the detailed storylines and game mechanics common to today’s popular titles.

Aside from nostalgia and relaxing game play, the affordability of retro gaming is also appealing. The expense of today’s popular titles creates a strain on the pocketbook for budget-minded individuals. The inexpensive price of retro games — frequently bundled together at minimal cost — creates a democratizing effect, wherein the vast majority of gamers can afford to participate, rather than only the hardcore few willing to shell out significant dollars to stay up to date on the latest and greatest new releases.

Finally, one cannot discount the aesthetic appeal of retro games with their pixelated graphics and jaunty chiptune soundtracks that impart a certain charm to these old titles. While highly orchestrated

musical scores and jawdropping HD visuals are indeed impressive from a technical standpoint, there are times when simple equates to good. In a sense, retro games are the comfort food of the video game industry. While gourmet cuisine can be an amazing culinary experience, there are times when you simply desire a good old burger and fries. Leaning over a classic arcade machine, joystick in hand, is a completely different experience to gaming online via the latest PlayStation or Xbox console wearing a headset and communicating in realtime with players around the globe. So how has the recent resurgence in retro game popularity affected the gaming industry?

arcade establishments also double as restaurants serving food and beverages to hungry gamers as they strive to save the world from galactic invaders or guide Pacman through a labyrinth of hungry ghosts.

As one might expect, the surging popularity of retro video games has spurred demand for old gaming consoles. The resale market on sites such as eBay for vintage Atari, Nintendo, and Sega Genesis consoles has exploded as the younger generation of gamers discovers these old classics, and Boomers reengage nostalgically with the favorite games of their youth. The demand for retro game

The surging demand for retro games has manifested itself in a myriad of ways, from the creation of small hand-held arcade machines for gamers on the go to the digital remastering of classic retro titles. Game designers are also incorporating visuals, sound effects, and game mechanics from the old retro titles and developing new games that capture the essence of these timeless originals. In cities across the globe the burgeoning demand for retro video games has spawned arcade establishments catering to gamers wishing to play the old classics standing up, on machines like those of their youth. Often these new

in lockstep with the demand for the old consoles and games cartridges, driving a craze for all things retro gaming. No matter what your age or level of gaming experience — Baby Boomer to Gen Z, avid gamer to newbie – retro video games have something to offer everyone. Whether you grew up in the 70s or 80s and seek a nostalgic blast to the past, or hail from a more recent generation, the realm of retro gaming is a wonderful respite from the complexities of our modern life—digital comfort food for the soul!

Pioneering Legacy

Linn County’s first Black resident

By Oregon Black Pioneers

The first Black resident of Linn County, Oregon was a woman then known only as Cora Ann. She was born into slavery in Virginia between 1822 and 1833, and by 1837 was living in New Orleans, where she was purchased by 32-year-old Emeline Carey Sellick. In 1850, Emeline and Cora moved to Missouri, where Emeline married Samuel Johnson. That same year, the couple moved to Oregon, and Cora traveled with them on the Oregon Trail as an enslaved overland pioneer.

When the Johnson party reached Oregon in the fall of 1850, Cora became one of just 55 Black people in the Oregon Territory. African Americans – free or enslaved – had been legally barred from coming to Oregon since 1849. However, legislation targeting Black people often went unenforced within Oregon’s disparate farming communities. This allowed a handful of Black Americans to remain in Oregon despite their legal exclusion, but it also allowed slavery to continue long after the practice was prohibited. Oregon’s Supreme Court outlawed slavery in 1853; Cora, however, would continue to be held as Emeline’s slave until the 1860s.

Samuel Johnson claimed a 640 acre homestead near Brownsville in Linn County, and built a home which he and his wife shared with Cora. The Johnsons had no children. Samuel Johnson drowned in the Calapooia River in January 1858, leaving Emeline and Cora alone.

In December 1858, Cora married John Cox, a Black farm laborer. Theirs is the earliest recorded marriage of two Black people in Oregon. John Cox worked for Jefferson Huff, a white widowed father of two from Tennessee who was likely John’s former owner. Two months later, Emeline and Jefferson Huff were married, and all began sharing the same home.

Cora and John had a daughter named Adeline in 1860. In that year’s census, Cora and Adeline were listed as slaves, while John was listed as free. A second daughter, Angeline, was born in 1864. Cora was emancipated in or before 1864 as well. That year, Emeline sold her “former servant” Cora 36.3 acres of land from her homestead with Samuel Johnson for just $10.00, in recognition of “faithful services rendered.” This purchase made Cora one of the earliest Black landowners

in Oregon history. John Cox built a home for his family on this land that same year.

Cora remained close to Emeline even after receiving her freedom. In 1866, Cora testified in Emeline’s divorce trial against Jefferson Huff. The testimony of a Black woman was extremely rare in 19th century Oregon.

Cora was well known throughout the Willamette Valley; she and her husband were affectionately called “Aunt Cora” and “Uncle John” by their friends and neighbors. She was wellconnected within the region’s small Black community. Cora attended Oregon’s earliest-known Emancipation Day celebration in Salem in 1867, alongside fellow Black pioneers like Ben Johnson and Amanda Gardner.

John Cox died in 1875, but Cora remained in her home until 1886. She sold the house and land that year for $600 and moved to Brownsville. Cora lived comfortably from the sale of her property for the rest of her life. Sources say Cora even made a monetary gift to Willamette University Women’s College in her will. Cora Cox passed away in 1892. The house she lived in from 1864-1886 still stands today, making it one of Oregon’s oldest homes.

Oregon Black Pioneers is Oregon’s only historical society dedicated to preserving and presenting the experiences of African Americans statewide. To learn more, and to support this nonprofit, visit oregonblackpioneers.org.
