growing population and are also the most in need of services.

It is estimated that 1 in 6 seniors will be a victim of financial exploitation and 1 in 10 will be abused or neglected. Please help us raise funds by donating online or visiting one of our local stores.

The History of Valentines

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

Valentine’s Day is a strange holiday. Its murky origins are based on the legend of the martyred St. Valentine, who supposedly married Christian couples secretly in the 3rd century, as well as the belief in medieval England and France that “love birds” paired in mid-February, as seen in the writing of Geoffrey Chaucer and William Shakespeare. Industrialization then brought mass-produced greeting cards, candy and the holiday hubbub we’ve come to expect. However you celebrate (or don’t), here are a few movies for couples, pals, gals and the whole family to warm your heart.

A League of Their Own (1992)

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

The Princess Bride (1987)

“There’s no crying in baseball!”

Young men have been called to war during WWII and left baseball fields empty everywhere.

In an attempt to save baseball from total financial ruin, an all-female professional baseball league is started in the Midwest by businessman Walter Harvey. Scouts are sent out across the country and find two women in, of all places, the Willamette Valley. Eventually a ragtag team is formed, coached by Team Manager Jerry Dugan, a drunk and former MLB player who’s embarrassed to even be there.

Unsurprisingly, the team unites in the spirit of friendship, womanhood and feminism in an era steeped in patriarchy, even winning over Dugan. Starring a huge cast, including Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Rosie O’Donnell and many more. Rated PG for language and wartime stress.

“You ever take it off any sweet jumps?”

Napoleon Dynamite’s iconic deadpan, off beat humor and ’80s style surprised us all in 2004. The movie takes place in rural Idaho, following awkward and eccentric 16 year-old Napoleon and his close friends, family and his quiet little life. Living with his older brother Kip and grandmother Carlinda, with his less-than-kind Uncle Rico visiting, we get to see Napoleon’s home and school life and hobbies, such as riding bikes, drawing cartoons and working on his dance routine for the school talent show. While seemingly simple and ordinary, it’s very much an understated slice-of-life story, with themes of friendship and love. Starring Jon Heder, Efren Ramirez, Tina Majorino and many more. Rated PG for thematic elements and language.

“Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.

You killed my father. Prepare to die.” Endlessly quotable, clever and hilarious, this movie is based on the 1973 book by William Goldman.

This fantasy-comedy and fairy tale parody follows a sword-wielding farmhand named Westley who must rescue his true love, Princess Buttercup, from the evil Prince Humperdinck. Very much a parable, with The Grandpa reading and explaining the story to The Grandson, most characters are faced with questions of what it means to be a good friend, parent or partner. Westley navigates challenge after challenge of swords, fists and wits to prove his love and loyalty. Starring an iconic cast, including Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, André the Giant and many more.

Rated PG for scary scenes and violence.

The History of Chocolate Ancient, delicious and divine

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

W

hen we hear the word “chocolate,” most of us picture a bar, ice cream, baked goods, or a confection of some type. Typically eating chocolate, not drinking it, and a sweet taste is usually associated with chocolate rather than a savory one.

However, for approximately 90% of chocolate’s extensive history, it was primarily a beverage, and sugar didn’t figure into the equation at all.

While the terminology can be a bit puzzling, most contemporary experts refer to “cacao” as the plant or its beans prior to processing, while the term “chocolate” refers to a product made from the beans. “Cocoa” is the term for chocolate in powdered form, though across the Atlantic, the British frequently use the word “cacao.”

“Chocolate” has been traced by etymologists back to the Aztec word “xocoatl,” which described a bitter beverage brewed from cacao beans. The Latin name for the cacao tree,

20 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

Theobroma cacao, translates to “food of the gods.” Historians today estimate that chocolate has been around for at least 2000 years, but recent research suggests it may be even older.

Although it’s difficult to establish an exact date for the origin of chocolate, it’s evident that it was valued from the very beginning. For many centuries in premodern Latin America, cacao beans were actually used as currency. A single bean could buy one tamale, while 100 beans could be traded for a good turkey hen, as noted in a 16th-century Aztec document.

Both the Mayans and Aztecs considered the cacao bean magical and sometimes divine.

It was commonly a part of sacred rituals of birth, death, and marriage.

It wasn’t until Europeans discovered the Americas and became familiar with the native cuisine that chocolate made its entrance on the world stage. According to legend, the Aztec king Montezuma welcomed the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes with a feast that included drinking chocolate. Although chocolate didn’t initially agree with the European palate, once it was mixed with honey or sugar, it rapidly grew in popularity throughout Spain.

By the 17th century, Europeans had embraced chocolate as a glamorous drink, reputed to possess medicinal, nutritious, and even aphrodisiac properties — rumors suggest that Casanova was a

big fan of chocolate. But it remained primarily a drink of the upper class until the invention of the steam engine revolutionized chocolate production, resulting in chocolate becoming available in mass quantities to society at large.

It was in 1828 when a Dutch chemist devised a method to create powdered chocolate by filtering out approximately half the natural fat (cacao butter) from chocolate liquor, pulverizing what remained and introducing a mixture of alkaline salts to negate the bitter taste.

This product, known as “Dutch cocoa,” eventually led to the development of solid chocolate.

Joseph Fry, in 1847, is credited with the creation of the world’s first chocolate bar. Fry discovered that by adding melted cacao butter back into Dutch cocoa, the result was a moldable chocolate paste. Within 20 years of Fry’s discovery, the now famous company Cadbury was selling boxes of chocolate candy in Britain. Soon thereafter, another recognizable name, Nestle, pioneered the creation of milk chocolate in Switzerland.

During the Revolutionary War in America, chocolate was so valued that it was included in soldiers’ rations in lieu of wages. Most of us today wouldn’t likely settle for payment in chocolate over dollars, but that doesn’t mean the

humble cacao bean isn’t a potent force in the economy. In the U.S. alone, chocolate is a four billion dollar industry, and the average American consumes at least half a pound per month.

In recent times, a chocolate revolution has swept across the globe, marked by a burgeoning interest in high-quality, artisanal chocolates and sustainable, efficient cacao farming and harvesting techniques. Due to this shift in consumer tastes, large corporations like Hershey’s have developed artisanal chocolate lines by acquiring smaller premium chocolate producers, and independent chocolatiers have proliferated as well.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, artisanal chocolate has exploded in recent years. One of the first chocolatiers on the Portland scene was Moonstruck; though recently sold to a larger company, Moonstruck helped establish a market for gourmet chocolate in the city. Currently, there are a plethora of artisanal chocolatiers in the local area. Missionary Chocolates in Northeast Portland, founded by a doctor with a passion for chocolate, produces delicious dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan chocolate and non-allergenic truffles.

A Yen for Chocolate was founded and is operated by Cristina Yen, a chocolatier who has brought her multicultural experiences from around the globe to Northwest Portland, where she handcrafts mouthwatering chocolate creations for a growing clientele. Named in honor of the Wildwood Trail in Portland’s Washington Park, Wildwood Chocolate sources the finest ingredients and crafts masterfully blended ingredients such as cardamom, honey and berries with chocolate to create award-winning confections.

So, the next time your sweet tooth has a hankering for chocolate, know that this wonderful treat has a history stretching back to indigenous peoples of South and Central America, and that the tasty chocolate morsels available in your local supermarket are the result of centuries of trial, error, and innovation. And if you wish to sample the cutting-edge creations of local chocolatiers, be sure to visit some of the artisanal producers featured above, or the myriad of other producers in our country’s continually evolving chocolate landscape.

MEET THE ARTIST

CANDACE WILSON

Positivity Through Pottery Candace Wilson, woman at the wheel

I

By Kelly Romo, Contributing Writer

n a world that seems to be constantly bombarded with negativity, it’s refreshing to come across someone like Candace Wilson. Candace is a ceramic artist who has made it her mission to spread warmth and happiness through her unique designs.

Her business, Little Bird Pottery, offers an extensive assortment of enchanting creations that will brighten your day.

Born and raised in Aloha, Oregon, Candace Van Beveren Wilson was a creative spirit from the beginning. She graduated with a degree in Applied Design from Southern Oregon University and further extended her knowledge by studying Graphic Design at the University of Oregon. Her professional journey started as a graphic designer specializing in design and packaging. Candace’s affinity for ceramics began back in high school, and is attributed to her teacher, Judy Vogland, who introduced her to the potter’s wheel. Candace continued to explore ceramics in college, alongside painting and drawing. Her passion led her to further her studies in ceramics in Italy and at the School of Arts and Crafts.

For Candace, ceramics were an inevitable choice as a medium of expression. Its versatility is astounding — from delicate pull knobs to intricate tile work and whimsical sculptures, it allows for boundless creativity. Furthermore, opening the kiln is always a moment of awe and wonder. The heat transformation imbues the clay with a life of its own, often revealing surprising and beautiful results that add an element of surprise to the pottery process.

The unique blend of Candace’s design and ceramics experience equipped her with innovative techniques that she applied to clay.

Her work in ceramics mirrors her graphic design experience, where

she incorporates words, textures, and images into her creations. She transforms her drawings and fonts into rubber stamps, which she then applies to wet clay to craft both usable and whimsical designs — whether wheel-thrown or slab-built.

What sets Candace’s business, Little Bird Pottery, apart is Candace’s message on each of her products. She especially enjoys making garden stakes that feature animals like birds, squirrels, cats, and bunnies, all with an inspiring word on the bottom — words like empathy, kindness, peace, compassion, and healing. Her products remind us that there is still kindness and love in the world and that we should all strive to spread positivity wherever we go.

Candace’s influence and dedication to her craft extends beyond her own studio. She is an active member of several art associations and galleries. She is a part of Local 14, an art group that has been promoting artists since 1967. Her work is also displayed in the Rain Spark Gallery in Lake Oswego, a cooperative gallery that champions a diverse range of artists and their unique crafts. With her commitment to the community, Candace also contributes to Valley Art in Forest Grove, Oregon’s oldest nonprofit art association. These affiliations serve as testament to her passion for ceramics and her desire to share the joy it brings with the wider community.

Candace Wilson’s journey as a ceramic artist is an inspiring one.

She has overcome obstacles and followed her passion to create a business that spreads inspiration and warmth wherever it goes. Little Bird Pottery is a testament to the fact that even small acts of kindness and love can make a difference in the world. We can all learn something from Candace’s message and strive to spread positivity in our own lives, one little bird at a time.

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 eight straight hours for the first time in eight 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.

He continues by saying, “The two guys I have working for me right now, I’ve had a lot of customers tell me how polite, how great, how informative they were.” Gabe’s goal is to maintain that level of customer care and to “make sure we always do things that way.”

Gabe’s Salem location covers a large territory including Newberg, McMinnville, Molalla, Woodburn, Monmouth, Albany and more. Gabe runs the day-to-day business himself and will occasionally do some of the work, but as the owner he’ll go out to a job whenever he can. His two hired technicians, “the younger guys,” do the heavy work. Gabe also owns two service trucks now, adding the second one last October.

With a background in construction, lumber mills, and always mechanically inclined, Gabe saw ProLift Garage Doors as a solid fit for a small business venture. “I like garages,” Gabe thought, when the opportunity presented itself. Together with his wife Renée, they co-own the franchise and opened for business over two years ago on October 25th, 2021. “I don’t have to be huge,” Gabe confides. “I just wish to be well-known, reliable, trustworthy, and be a small local business that’s successful.”

Gabe’s excited for ProLift Garage Doors of Salem to get the exposure it deserves.

A member of HBA, you might have seen Gabe at last year’s Home Show at the Salem Fairgrounds. He’s also a member of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, and hosted a sponsorship at South Salem High School. He honors military, teachers, and first responders by offering a 10% discount on Service and up to $150 off on New Garage Doors at any time throughout the year. Gabe looks forward to more involvement in the community. “I love sports. I played sports growing up,” he comments. “I’d like to sponsor a Little League team. It would be fun!”
