THE HISTORY OF SANTA CLAUS

The Magical Legend of Santa Claus 1600 years in the making

A

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

s the holiday season rolls around, Santa Claus assumes center stage. But where exactly did this rotund, jovial old man in a red suit originate, and how did he become the iconic symbol of Christmas that he is today? In truth, the history of Santa Claus is a fascinating tale that intertwines folklore, legends, and a sprinkle of entrepreneurial ingenuity.

Santa Claus, as we know him today, traces his roots back to a number of historical figures, each contributing to the contemporary version we know and love. Perhaps the earliest inspiration for Santa Claus was Saint Nicholas, a Christian bishop of the 4th century, renowned for his acts of kindness and gift-giving. In time, Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, archers and brewers, among others.

In the British Isles, a character known as Father Christmas emerged during the mid-17th century and was frequently depicted as a bearded man garbed in green, symbolizing the spirit of the season. By the 18th century, however, the concepts of Father Christmas and Saint Nicholas merged, resulting in a hybrid figure that blended elements from both traditions.

The American version of Santa Claus began to take shape in the 18th century. Influenced by Dutch and German settlers, the name “Santa Claus” evolved from the Dutch term “Sinterklaas.”

During this period, “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (commonly known as “The Night Before Christmas”), a poem published in 1823, played a pivotal role in shaping the modern image of Santa. This poem described Santa

6 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

as a rotund gift-giver in a red suit who utilized chimneys rather than the front door for his Christmas visits. The poem, attributed to Clement Clarke Moore, established not only Santa’s magical nighttime journey around the world delivering toys to children, but specified his vehicle of choice as a sleigh powered by eight reindeer with specific names and attributes. Also introduced in the poem was the idea of Santa monitoring children on his “naughty and nice” list and filling stockings accordingly.

The classic image of Santa Claus in a red suit with a white beard was tweaked further in the 1930s due to a marketing campaign by Coca-Cola. The company’s advertisements depicted Santa as plump, rosy-cheeked, and garbed in a red and white outfit and hat. Although Santa had been portrayed in robes of other colors prior to this marketing campaign, CocaCola’s version of Santa Claus was embraced by the popular imagination and remains the image we associate with him to this day.

As the holidays roll around, and images of Santa Claus abound, know that, like so many things in life, Santa has evolved from his ancient origins as Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas, to the iconic figure of Christmas cheer crafted by an imaginative poet and creative corporate advertising. One thing is for certain, whether you’re a child or an adult, the holidays would not be the same without Santa, his reindeer and the spirit of the season that he represents to so many around the world!

MEET THE ARTIST

ISABEAU WAIA’U WALKER

From Teacher to Full-Time Musician ‘Bright gloom’ indie music makes lasting impression

I

By Dennis McNabb, Staff Writer

sabeau Waia’u Walker is all of those things and so much more, all wrapped up in one perfectly imperfect package.

Born in California and raised in Hawaii as a Kanaka Maoli wahine (Native Hawaiian woman), where her family returned to shortly after she was born. She moved “temporarily” to Oregon to attend Warner Pacific University, but fell so deeply in love with the local community she never left. It’s a fortunate turn of events for us, because after a lifetime of considering her talents to be avocational, she recently retired from teaching to commit full-time to the pursuit of her passion: music.

A ubiquitous presence in her life since childhood, music was, and is, simply an integral part of Isabeau’s Photo by Mary Putulin identity. It’s a key aspect of her culture. It’s in her blood. Her entire family sings and/or plays an instrument, and those songs that they “performed” during family gatherings not only planted the seeds of her inspiration, but also helped to inform and develop her unique sound. Make no mistake, Isabeau has “arrived.” One listen to her most recent output will quell any doubts about that.

Much like the legendary “Road to Hana,” it has been a long and windy road.

Tentative steps were initially taken in the early 2000s. Isabeau recorded an EP, but the songs were experimental, a little rough by her current standards, and she had yet to find her voice. A second EP followed a few years later. That one was better, but still more of a learning experience than an actual representation of who she is as an artist. It wasn’t until 2020, when she put out her 3rd EP and first official release, entitled “Better Metric,” that she discovered her sound. To announce her arrival in grand fashion, her track, “Woman” from that EP made OPB’s list of top songs in 2020.

Of course, COVID hit at the same time and all of her plans to tour and promote the album were instantly scrapped. That could have derailed a lesser creative, but instead she utilized that time

8 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

to write and record her “first full length, “The Body,” which came out in May of 2022. A highly personal and emotional album, the songs on this one delve deep into what it means to be a woman, to reconnect with the physical body as well as the spiritual and to embrace every facet of what that entails. Taken directly from her journal, her lyrics provide a window into the soul of an incredible woman and an amazing artist.

To paraphrase from her website, Isabeau is “bright gloom.”

Her songs are “soothing and soft while powerful.” They are “accessible while complex,” “sweet [while] aching.” There is a duality that reverberates through the layers of her music which brings such tension and depth that it invites repeated listenings for full digestion. Beautiful and devastating, her haunting and ethereal voice makes a lasting impression, no small feat in today’s musical landscape. And this is just the beginning. With the support of her producer, Ryan Oxford, and manager, Dan Cable, Isabeau has returned to the studio and began recording her second full-length album. She also has a crowdfunding campaign—to support paying the artists involved—launching next month.

Do yourself a favor and seek out this local rising star. You can stream her music on Spotify, follow her on Instagram @ beaubeaubarina, or watch her amazing collection of videos on Youtube. If you want to support the cause, you can find her on Patreon.com\Isabeau. And don’t forget to watch her live shows! She performs both as a solo act and also with the band, Y La Bamba.

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

A

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 10 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

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.

THE ANGLE

TROUT FISHING

The Scoop on Spoons Score big with these time-tested simple lures

a bit upstream of yourself, and do ultra-slow reeling with some ever-so-slight twitches of the rod tip, until you start getting downstream of yourself. At that point, go for the swing — but the money is in the tumbling drift you get when the lure is just in front of you. Your line will draw out in front of the lure, causing it to wobble with an enticing flash, not quite hitting the bottom, but getting into the strike zone.

T

By Lucas Holmgren, Contributing Writer

rout are a year-round species in Oregon. Whether you fish creeks, rivers or lakes, there is always a place to fish for rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout. Spoons are essentially a metal lure that is bent in a way that causes the lure to wobble or flutter without fully turning over. It is not the same as a spinner, which has a rotating blade.

I have used spoons like Kastmasters, Little Cleo’s and my personal favorite, the Al’s Goldfish Neon Blue. Areas where I use spoons are in tidewater, small field creeks, large dam-controlled rivers, small natural rivers and standard “stocker” lakes.

There are certain rivers where a spoon doesn’t always get it done, but in my semi-coastal region of Oregon and Washington, I have found consummate success with fishing spoons.

The Technique “The swing” is a proven method for spoon fishing.

Cast across the river from yourself, draw the line tight and point your rod tip where your line is heading, and as it gets farther downstream, let it “swing” through the target water. Once it’s below you, reel up. I also “drift” spoons. Essentially, be aware of the flow and depth of the run; then cast 12 TO ADVERTISE WITH US, CALL 503.825.2111

The Gear A small spoon produces the best action when fished with a light leader. The small diameter of 6lb test is my chosen favorite.

When it comes to the mainline, I prefer to fish with nothing but 6lb, so I don’t need a uni-knot or a swivel to connect a leader.

An ultra-light rod with 6lb test tied directly to the spoon with a Palomar knot is so organic.

Keep in Mind When you are tying a light line to a lure, pull with one hand as far away from the knot as possible, while guiding the knot with your other. This ensures that no harmful stretch is imparted to the line near the knot.

Key Tactics A spoon is a “cover water” lure. Don’t spend all day making the same cast over and over. Move from hole to hole. In lakes, I will cast out as far as I can and vary speed and location. Every day is different. Sometimes it’s a slow retrieve close to the bottom, other days I’m cranking it in fast to where it’s inches below the surface. You simply need to vary your retrieve until you figure out the day’s pattern.

Many fish species love to bite spoons, and trout are no exception. Give it a shot!

“The Muppet Christmas Carol” (1992) Like all Jim Henson movies, “The Muppet Christmas Carol” is an instant classic. Full of many upbeat musical numbers, funny animal characters, solid jokes, heart and humanity, this is a family-friendly take on Charles Dickens’ 1843 novel “A Christmas Carol.” In the classic story, Ebenzer Scrooge, played here by a curmudgeonly Michael Caine, has grown into an old, lonely miser near Christmas.

The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future visit him on Christmas Eve and show him the folly of his ways — choosing money over love, family and friends — and the dire, lonely future that awaits him unless he decides to change. This movie is equally funny and heartwarming as it is a sobering wake-up call to the things that matter most. Also starring Frank Oz, Dave Goelz, Steve Whitmire, Steven Mackintosh, Robin Weaver and more. Rated G — 5 & up due to some scary visuals.

“Home Alone” (1990) By far my favorite Christmas movie, Chris Columbus’ “Home Alone” is a hilarious and heartfelt movie about family and redemption. Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), troublemaker and the youngest child in a large family, always feels forgotten and resented, and that’s even more apparent when he’s left home alone while his whole family flies to Paris for Christmas. Instead of panicking, Kevin relishes his time alone and becomes more independent — watching inappropriate movies, eating junk food, shooting a BB gun inside, but also grocery shopping and doing laundry. Eventually he runs into local cat burglars Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), who plan to rob his house. And that’s when the fun and chaos escalate into what I consider the greatest prank scenes ever filmed. Scored by John Williams and also starring Catherine O’Hara, John Heard, Kieran Caulkin, John Candy and more. Rated PG for violence and coarse language.

“The Grinch” (2018) Yet another Grinch movie begs the question — how many do we need? Apparently a few more, as this iteration inhabits its own little modern world and adds to the everexpanding Grinch mythology. Narrated by Pharell Williams and starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch, the story is simple — the Grinch hates Christmas and the Whos want to make it bigger and brighter than ever, much to his annoyance. A nod and protege to Ron Howard’s “A Grinch Stole Christmas” with a scene-stealing Jim Carrey, this movie is fast-paced, quick-witted and incredibly scored. The music, however, is a very modern take, done by Pharrell Williams and including a combo of classic Christmas, pop, hip hop and acapella. Because this is fully computeranimated, the movie has no limits and is a true visual spectacle. Also starring Cameron Seely, Rashida Jones, Kenan Thompson, Mindy Sterling, Angela Lansbury and more. Rated PG for brief rude humor.

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