Chimcare Chimney Service

Chimcare strives to be the leader in the chimney and fireplace industry. They are committed to providing customers with the highest quality service at affordable pricing, and are known throughout the Northwest for professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction.

In 1989, Richard Peralta began a small chimney sweeping company in Canby, Oregon in order to help support his growing family. Richard started the business on a part-time basis to provide extra income for his family of eight, while working full time for UPS. After five years of hard work and dedication to his customers, he was able to leave his day job and pursue the business full time. Richard built the business from the ground up by providing dependable, quality service that is still trusted to this day.

Thanks to his incredible dedication to the craft, integrity, and impeccable customer care, Richard’s business quickly grew into the chimney repair and cleaning company that carries on his legacy today. Many of Richard’s first customers are still with Chimcare LLC today, along with their family and friends.

Chimcare is very proud that the majority of their business is from loyal repeat customers and their referrals.

As they have grown, Chimcare has expanded with additional locations in order to service the greater Portland and Seattle areas. Their chimney professionals can service homes and businesses as far north as Everett, Washington and as far south as Salem.

Along with providing chimney cleaning, inspection, and repair services, the great team at Chimcare can also help transform your outdoor living space by constructing a beautiful outdoor fireplace for you to enjoy all year round. They are experts at chimney construction and masonry, and their work is so good that they have also branched out to doing special projects like patios, retaining walls, fire pits, walkways, and pretty much anything that can be done with brick and mortar.

In 2005 Richard’s son Jesse took over the business. Richard now dedicates his time to community outreach projects that he is passionate about.

Jesse remains committed to not only keeping up with the level of service that their father provided for many years, but working to exceed it.

They want to go above and beyond for each and every customer.

Along with the current customer base, Jesse is working hard to expand Chimcare as his father had always dreamed. They are always looking to serve new customers who are searching for clean-cut service technicians with experience, quality workmanship, and a name that is trusted around the northwest.

They are proud to carry on the Peralta family tradition of providing exemplary chimney care for you and your home. If you have any questions or want to inquire about their services, you can visit their website at https://www.chimcare.com, or call them at (800) 362-4840.

HISTORY

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

C

reated by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster, Superman first appeared in 1938’s Action Comics #1, which sold for a staggering $3.25 million in 2021. Starring in 1939’s Superman #1, this was the first comic book ever devoted to a single character. Interestingly, Superman was first created as a homeless villain given temporary powers by a mad scientist, but thankfully Siegel and Schuster gave him a cape, spandex, a Midwestern childhood, and a cool alien backstory instead!

Although earning moderate salaries, Siegel and Schuster unbelievably sold the rights and royalties to Superman for $130.

When they asked for a raise, DC Comics falsely told Siegel, “Our company has very little to gain in a monetary sense from the syndication of this material.” After filing a lawsuit, they were fired in 1947. Siegel returned to DC in 1959 at standard pay and no byline (aka no credit), leaving again in 1965 and filing another lawsuit. When the Superman movie began production in the 70s, Siegel launched a successful PR campaign and secured $20,000 annual pensions for himself and Schuster, an amount that has increased over time. As of 2016, their estates have launched further copyright lawsuits for additional compensation.

But let’s get to Superman’s backstory, if you don’t know it from the many comics and films… The planet Krypton is facing climate collapse and destruction, but the leaders won’t listen to Superman’s father, Jor-El, the planet’s best scientist. Fearing the worst, Jor-El and Lara put baby KalEl into a small spaceship and send him to Earth. Krypton explodes, orphaning Kal-El, and the planet’s remnants become kryptonite, Superman’s one vulnerability. And the red blanket Kal-El is wrapped in becomes his cape! His spaceship crashes in rural Smallville, Kansas, where he’s adopted by the Kents and leads a typical albeit concealed life as Clark Kent, a farmer’s son. But he can’t contain his powers for long, and he yearns for the excitement of the big city. Leaving behind

his parents and childhood love, Lana Lang, he moves to Metropolis to become a reporter for the Daily Planet, falling in love with Lois Lane, and sneaking off as Superman whenever danger calls.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t talk about Superman’s most important moments in comic book history: The Death of Superman and Crisis on Infinite Earths.

1985’s Crisis was a meta-attempt to restart the continuity (or lack thereof) for Superman and all of DC Comics’ characters, whose backstories had gotten so tangled and contradicted that no one could keep them straight anymore. DC’s solution was to create the multiverse, where all the various versions of characters could live —Golden Age Superman, for instance, lives on Earth 2—and in this “event,” the big baddie, The Anti-Monitor, wants to destroy the multiverse. It’s mind-boggling, epic, emotional, staggeringly illustrated, and a surprisingly fun read that forever changed DC Comics. 1992’s The Death of Superman, a PR stunt cash grab and one of the worst comics ever written in my opinion, made $30 million the first day and sold 6 million copies. The unprecedented idea of Supes’ death shocked the world at the time, but for me it just lacks substance. Superman has survived just about everything, like Batman, Lex Luthor, Brainiac, interdimensional super gods, time travel, and flying through the sun. But Doomsday, a big brute, punches Superman to death for 160 pages! Thankfully, Superman is revived in the incredibly written and redeeming The Return of Superman by Dan Jurgens. If you read Death, make sure you read Return immediately after!

One of the most iconic symbols and recognizable superheroes ever, Superman has forever changed pop culture since his inception 84 years ago! Spanning nearly a half century of films and tens of thousands of comic book pages, the Man of Steel continues to capture the hearts and minds of readers young and old. Watch a movie or pick up a comic book today to celebrate this pop icon!

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

P a t io C over P e ople

by Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter

T

om Moore partnered with a business associate and long-time friend to acquire Patio Cover People in September 2021. He’s excited to celebrate the first 6+ months of business with many positive changes within the company, including inventory management and scheduling, a new invoicing system, better presentation and customer clarity, improved customer service, better communication, and ensuring a positive work environment.

Tom has lived in Wilsonville for the last 15 years. He grew up in Tualatin, and his diverse background includes non-profit work, high-tech and software, and start ups. And “once upon a time” he worked for Intel. Individual Contributor, Senior Manager / Executive, and Trouble Shooter have been among his various roles. Problem-solving for struggling businesses became an area of expertise. In retrospect, rather than continuing these endeavors for outside companies, he asked himself— why not put the knowledge to use for his own business? As Tom puts it, “We solve problems and make it better.”

Patio Cover People allows Tom and his partner to implement their vision: “Build a business that stands apart.” They focus on customer needs, integrity, and delivering quality products.

They also provide a mentorship atmosphere for employees to grow and thrive, meet challenges, and be happy and enthusiastic when interacting with customers.

So what does Patio Cover People do? They install highquality daylight patio covers with the option to add railings, outdoor room enclosures, decks, and concrete work to the patio cover order. One main advantage is the Acrylic material

16 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

used for their patio roof covers which allows more daylight to penetrate under the patio cover as well as filter into the home. This is especially nice for the prolific cloudy days in the Northwest. These Acrylic covers also reflect three-fourths of the heat away from the living space which creates a more comfortable environment year-round. And for winter, these patio covers are designed and engineered to withstand the snow-load and high winds here in the Northwest.

There are two styles of patio covers to choose from: Shed and Gable. The Shed style is a simple design that slopes downward off the house in a lean-to fashion. The Gable style with its upward peak provides greater visibility and is an optimal choice for a property with a view. The Gable style, particularly when coupled with an enclosure, offers an appealing aesthetic that certain clients prefer.

Patio Cover People has a reputation for treating you right, doing a quality job, and offering fair pricing. Trust is a key component within Tom’s company which he illustrates with the phrase: “Say what you do, and then do what you say.”

Patio Cover People is located at 10965 SW Commerce Circle in Wilsonville. Visit their website at patiocoverpeople.com, or call them at (503) 927-6937.

POP CULTURE

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

Christopher Reeve:

Superman I-IV (1978, 1980, 1983, 1987)

Started 44 years ago, Superman I and Superman II blew peoples’ minds! I think this franchise’s success greatly depends upon visionary director Richard Donner, who directed great movies like the Lethal Weapon series and cult classics The Goonies & The Lost Boys.

These movies are action-packed, funny, and just solid entertainment (III & IV aren’t as great, but still good). The starstudded cast includes Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor), Marlon Brando (Jor-El), Ned Beatty (Otis), and Margot Kidder (Lois Lane), among others. But let’s not forget Christopher Reeve, a Cornell and Juilliard School graduate, and classically trained actor. His simple spandex, dark slicked hair and curl were true to the comics, and his kind, sly, understated demeanor were fantastic—the Man of Steel was a true American hero. He played Clark Kent exactly as he should be—meek, bumbling, and clumsy, in the iconic thick black glasses. And that Clark Kent good-naturedness carries into his Superman, an altruistic and all-powerful alien who finds his humanity. Rated PG, watch these classics!

Brandon Routh:

Superman Returns (2006)

The black sheep of Superman movies, Bryan Singer directed and wrote the story, who also directed the hit or miss X-Men movies and the recently acclaimed Bohemian Rhapsody.

Although visually slick, the pacing is a bit slow, the story too focused on romance instead of action, and Brandon Routh’s Superman is a tad stoic. That said, it’s polished and watchable, but not my favorite. Co-starring Kevin Spacey (Lex Luthor), Kate Bosworth (Lois Lane), James Marsden (Richard White), and Parker Posey (Kitty Kowalski), and others. Rated PG-13, it’s a solid entry in the Superman cinematic universe.

18 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

Henry Cavill:

Man of Steel (2013), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), Justice League (2017)

Heir apparent to Christopher Reeve and bearing an incredible resemblance, Henry Cavill has 3 films under his belt as Superman and he’s fantastic! Cavill’s Superman is just as sly, kind, and softspoken as Reeve’s, but he’s much more ripped and modern in today’s superhero heyday. Ultimately, you just like Cavill and want to root for him. Directed by the polarizing, long-winded, but reliable Zack Snyder, the movies are visually spectacular, action-packed, funny, and really fun to watch. Man of Steel has a star-studded cast rivaling the original movies, including Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Michael Shannon (General Zod), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White), Kevin Costner (Jonathan Kent), Russel Crowe (Jor-El), and more. BvS and Justice League are team-up movies but still Supermancentric and solid entertainment. Rated PG-13, give them a watch!

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

SWAN ISLAND DAHLIAS

Swan Island Dahlias: A Work of Heart “A beautiful garden is a work of heart”

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer

I

t has become increasingly difficult over the past few years to find inspiration in the world, to find reasons to smile.

We have sometimes felt overwhelmed, gotten caught up in the negatives, and neglected to appreciate the simpler pleasures in life.

Quite literally, we have forgotten to stop and smell the flowers. In order to rectify that situation, though, we need look no further than our own backyards. Swan Island Dahlias, the largest and leading dahlia grower in the entire country, is located right here in Canby, and they want nothing more than to simply share the fruits of their labor with all of us and return that smile to our faces!

Established in 1927—with acreage in Portland and on Swan Island, hence the name—the farm was relocated to Canby in 1953. It was purchased by the Gitts family in 1963, and since then has doubled in size and scope. Still owned and operated by the Gitts family to this day, during the blooming season the farm boasts almost 50 acres of the most dazzling, varied, and unique dahlias you’ve ever seen. With 370+ varieties on display, and on average roughly 10 new varieties introduced every year, there’s always something new and exciting to be found.

20 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

Gitts Family Prior to the pandemic, the farm hosted a six-day dahlia festival every summer, split between two weekends. Since then, they have adapted to our advantage. Now Swan Island Dahlias is open to the public for two full months, from Aug. 1 to Sept. 30. It’s free to attend, free to park, and if the stunning, world-class assortment of gorgeous flowers isn’t enough to lure you, then perhaps the adorable gift shop will. If not that, then the food—anywhere from two to six food trucks are on site at all times, the educational classes (art, health and beauty, floral arranging, dahlia care, and more), or the entertainment (live music every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 pm) certainly will. This is truly the hidden gem of the Willamette Valley. You don’t want to miss it.

Three generations have proudly run Swan Island Dahlias. I had the pleasure and privilege of speaking with Heather GittsSchloe, daughter of Nicholas and Linda Gitts (who currently run the farm) and granddaughter of Nick and Margaret Gitts, who initially purchased the farm back in 1963. Her passion and love for the farm was evident in every word she spoke. Some of us work to live, but clearly she and her family live to work (on this farm). The gratitude she expressed for being a part of something so sublime and so positive was inspiring, and her sincerest wish was only to share all of this with the community at large.

Looking to find some beauty in this world again? Looking for some peace and tranquility? A place to enjoy the company of friends and family, to eat some delicious food, drink and live entertainment? Look no further than Swan Island Dahlias.

Located at 995 NW 22nd Avenue in Canby, and open six days a week from 9am to 5:30pm (closed Wednesdays) from Aug. 1– Sept. 30. Gift shop open year round.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT

DAN REED

August 202

For the Love of Paint

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer

W

e’re all familiar with Dan Reed, the musician. Born and raised right here in Portland, Oregon, he’s our hometown hero who has been rocking and rolling across the globe with his band, the Dan Reed Network, since 1987. Incidentally, the Dan Reed Network is preparing now to unleash their exciting new album, Let’s Hear It For The King, to a fervent and anxious fanbase. But music alone does not define the man; Dan is a multifaceted artist expressing himself through a variety of creative endeavors. Most significantly, outside of his musical career, he has also become an avid and revered painter.

He actually started painting back in college. He took some classes and produced some beautiful work, but when his musical career took off, painting naturally took a back seat. It wasn’t until years later, after Dan became disillusioned with the music industry and he put the band on hiatus, that he returned to the canvas.

They were dark times. He had traveled the world in support of The Rolling Stones, he had reached the pinnacle of success, scaled the very heights of Mt. Olympus, but inside he was feeling empty, bereft of joy and inspiration.

Painting allowed him the freedom he’d been missing in music. Without the strict “guidance” of labels and overeager A&R representatives making their demands, telling him what to play, how to play, and how to look, he was finally able to express himself more authentically. There were no rules, no borders; only the edges of the frame to restrict his flow. And it was transformative! Along with his spiritual journey (he spent years meditating and studying at a monastery), the demons

24 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

he was able to exorcise through the process of putting paint to canvas, helped him navigate AUGUST those dark corridors and return to a path of BACKPACK wellness and light.

BEACH Although he has CAMP returned to music, and the fans are all grateful, Dan hasn’t given up his “second love” this time around.

Painting allows his creativity of expression to simply flow. They are all abstract pieces, informed by internal emotion and mood versus being representative, realistic compositions. They are fascinating to behold, full of depth and color, inviting thorough examination and discussion over the feelings they evoke. They are the kinds of paintings you can stare at for hours, continuously finding new and interesting patterns as they emerge.

So there you have it. Dan Reed: accomplished musician and painter. Check out his work on Facebook at Dan_Reed_Art or on instagram: @Dan_Reed_Art.

What is Gum Disease?

Written by Debi M. Huyssoon, General Dentist

G

um disease is a silent but consequential disease of the mouth caused by the loss of the supportive structures of teeth. It can lead to persistent bad breath, loose teeth, root sensitivity, gum bleeding, root decay, and in its more advanced stages, tooth loss.

The bone around teeth serves as an important foundation onto which your teeth are embedded. Without proper bone levels, teeth become loose and diseased. As bone levels decrease, it exposes the rougher textured tooth surface that lies just below the enamel, the root surface. Unlike enamel, which has a smooth, glassy texture, root surfaces are more like fine sandpaper. Food debris, plaque, and tartar can hold onto this coarser layer more efficiently. Without proper removal via daily brushing/flossing and regular dental cleanings, this layer of bacteria-laden debris leads to a localized, low-grade chronic infection around the neck of the tooth. The immune system attempts to rid this area of the localized bacterial invasion, but in doing so the bone and gums suffer collateral damage and are lost in the process.

Once enough bone and gums are lost, the body is unable to rebuild the supporting structures around the teeth. As the cycle continues, more bone and gums pull away from the tooth, in a process known as gum or periodontal disease and is irreversible.

Medical conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, HIV, and unhealthy habits such as smoking, drug use or excessive alcohol use can exacerbate the disease. When gum disease is diagnosed and treated in its early stages, the disease process can be stopped or significantly slowed down. As of today, gum disease does not have a cure, but prevention and maintenance have proven to be highly effective.

It is important to have your teeth cleaned a minimum of every 6 months and have annual checkups to prevent and identify certain early signs, risk factors, and habits that may lead to gum disease.

Gum disease develops slowly over many years and often is painless.

Don’t let gum disease claim any of your teeth. If you are concerned about the status of your teeth and it has been a while since your last dental visit, let our doctors help you find a way to a healthy smile that will last for years! If you are nervous or scared, we will help put you at ease. Schedule a new patient appointment with one of our friendly doctors!
