IV sedation to relax during treatment

The Hearthstone Family

A safe and low-stress environment

By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Malaina Kinne

Is your family pet just that? Family? If you could, wouldn’t you make visits to the vet less stressful – for both of you? Hearthstone Veterinary Hospital feels the same way! From the time you enter their cozy livingroom-style lobby and throughout the entire visit, you’ll find Hearthstone’s “fear free” practices warm and inviting. Independently owned, Hearthstone Veterinary Hospital has been serving the local community since 2022. Although a relatively new practice in the Tigard-Beaverton area, its owner Dr. Elly Burnett is a seasoned veterinary practitioner with years of experience. Dr. Burnett makes an effort to get to know her clients and their pets by spending time with the owners and discovering each pet’s unique personality. “The environment I’m trying to create here,” shares Dr. Burnett, “is one where a family or client comes in with their pet and they don’t feel like they’re just another number in the day. I want them to feel included in the decision-making process.”

Certified as a “fear free” practitioner, Dr. Burnett and her staff use low-stress handling techniques for both dogs and cats. Some of these practices include utilizing treat rewards, gentle restraint and if it’s necessary to take blood, keeping a pet with their owner as much as possible. “What I hear frequently,” comments Dr. Burnett, “is ‘My dog (or cat) is never this relaxed at the vet.’”

Hearthstone also practices GoldStandard Surgery with state-of-theart monitoring

equipment and an in-house laboratory that gives same-day results. Administering the best care possible and keeping your pet safe is Hearthstone’s highest priority.

Presently, Dr. Elly Burnett is Hearthstone’s sole veterinarian. She lives less than a mile away and employs a local staff which includes her mom, Denise and her sister Frances. Both her mom and sister add a personal touch and lighthearted family element to the business. Along with Denise’s bookkeeping services, she often answers phones and helps out in other ways as needed. Dr. Burnett enjoys her mom’s humor and comments, “She’s very funny when working the front desk. She always brings her knitting and she’ll chat it up with the clients.” On the phone, Denise has been heard telling a client, “The vet is very good with cats, and I know that because she’s my daughter.”

Frances joined Hearthstone last September as a veterinary assistant and Dr. Burnett’s “right hand.” She is also working towards taking over the management of Hearthstone’s practice as well. Having followed Dr. Burnett into the veterinary field in

2016, whenever circumstances allowed Dr. Burnett would bring Frances on board so they could work together. Today, Dr. Burnett is thrilled to have her sister as a permanent member of staff. “It’s great

working with her – we share a lot of banter,” says Dr. Burnett, pointing out that with their mom in the office as well, her sister’s been known to quip, “I’m telling mom!”

Dr. Burnett, who rides horses as a hobby, admits, “One of my goals when I went to veterinary school was to be a horse doctor, but I ended up working with small animals and really enjoying it.” She also sponsors a jump for a summer schooling series which takes place at the barn where she rides and boards her horse. Participants are able to gain experience in this non-rated series without all the pressure and expense of the bigger shows. Dr. Burnett sees this as a nice way to give back to the community and the donation helps support the shows and sponsors kids who can’t afford the fees.

Hearthstone Veterinary Hospital is located at 14210 SW Barrows Road, Tigard. Give them a call at (971)384-1310 or email contact@hearthstoneveterinary. com. Visit hearthstoneveterinary.com for a comprehensive list of services, fillable forms, online store and so much more!

Clearing the Air

Northwest Breeze remains Oregon’s top-rated air duct cleaner

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter

Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, and studies show that air inside is two to five times more polluted than the air outside. Our homes can accumulate up to 40 pounds of debris in the HVAC system every year, and that’s for households with no pets. The Science Advisory Board has stated that indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental risks to public health.

What does all of this mean to homeowners? It’s an absolute imperative to follow the EPA’s guidelines and schedule your air ducts to be cleaned at least once every three to five years. And when it comes to the cleaning and maintenance of your HVAC system, there’s no one better in the Willamette Valley and Portland areas than Google’s top-rated air duct cleaners,

Northwest Breeze.

Northwest Breeze absolutely guarantees the work they do, employing the usage of a Negative Air Vacuum, a complex system that uses a compressed-air blower to clear the ducts while a vacuum traps the hazardous particles and releases them outside your home. Their method is the only one on the market, in fact, that cleans the entire HVAC system effectively and without damaging the ducts. Whether cleaning your cold air returns, supply vents, furnace burners, outdoor A/C units and coils or dryer vents, they use all of the most effective, efficient tools and methods in the industry.

Northwest Breeze is a locally-owned and -operated business with strong ties to the community. Support your family’s health while supporting local business. Contact Northwest Breeze today for a free quote. Call 503-851-0212 or check them out online at nwbreezeor.com for more information.

Thank you for your support! We are proud to serve your community.

CREATING JOY FOR CHILDREN FIGHTING CRITICAL ILLNESS

My name is Indie. I am 6 years old.

My wish was to be a princess. I love putting on princess outfits, going in the backyard and belting out my favorite songs. In fact, my neighbors knew when I got sick with cancer because they didn’t hear me singing in the backyard anymore.

After treatment, my wish brought me to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique at the Walt Disney World® Resort. It was a total surprise. It brought me to this very good place where I wanted to be for two years. It felt like I was in the world where princesses live. I loved it very much!

My wish also created a special core memory for my family as we were watching the fireworks over the castle. I wanted to show my mom and dad how happy I felt, so I took a glow stick and made the shape of a cancer ribbon to wave high. It showed me that fighting cancer gives me power.

Today, I’m asking you to support me in donating so we can share that renewed strength with future wish kids.

Let’s show other kids in our community what can happen when a group of caring people rally around them to make dreams come true. Donate today in support of local, life-changing wishes, like mine.

Cows, Racing, and Western Wonderland

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 quartermile 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 West-style 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.

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.

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.”

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!
