WHICH WICH

Get Your Wich On

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter

ho doesn’t love a great sandwich, right?

It’s one of our most popular lunch foods— Americans eat more than 300 million sandwiches per day!—and there are as many choices as tastes and preferences. That said, it’s easy to imagine that we’re familiar with all the major players in the industry and already have our favorites even if it’s not always true! Case in point: Right here, locally, we have a multi-award winning, internationallyfranchised brand you might not have heard of, but once you’ve eaten there, you’ll never forget. I’m talking about Which Wich!

Why have you likely never heard of them?

Because there are only two locations in the entire Pacific Northwest, but we’re lucky enough to have them both right here in our area!

Owned by local business partners Dan Hamby and Scott Bean, Which Wich has been serving “Superior Sandwiches” since they opened in 2016.

What makes Which Wich such a standout choice for your next sandwich is their unique and high-quality ingredients. Meats and cheeses in particular are the genuine article and cut fresh daily. Bread is partially baked and finished in the oven when your sandwich is served, so it’s fresh and piping hot!

HISTORY

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

F

or many of us, the name Tillamook instantly evokes thoughts of dairy products, most notably, cheddar cheese. Generations of Oregonians have toured the iconic Tillamook Cheese Factory on the Oregon coast, marveling at the state-of-the-art facilities and enjoying the delectable cheese-themed entrees and ice cream at their on-site restaurant. Tillamook and cheese have become virtually synonymous, which leads one to wonder how it all came about. Cheese in Tillamook? What’s the story?

The story begins in the mid-nineteenth century as settlers crossed the Great Plains to the Pacific Northwest along the Oregon Trail.

While the Willamette Valley was the primary destination in Oregon for many of these early settlers, later arrivals discovered that much of the desirable land in the Valley had already been claimed. Turning their attention west, some of these pioneers crossed over the Coast Range to take up residence in the Tillamook Bay area. Although the coastal region posed certain challenges—namely, dense forest and abundant precipitation—it was the ideal climate to grow fields of lush green grass. Since cows thrive on green grass, and grass was a plentiful resource, dairy farming became the logical agricultural pursuit in the area.

Initially, these early dairy farmers churned out butter, hoping to market their product in the burgeoning city of Portland.

However, reliable roads over the Coast Range were scarce in those days, and after unsuccessful attempts at hiring ships to transport their butter down the Columbia River, the local farmers pooled their money and constructed a small schooner in 1855, christening it the Morning Star. For many years, the Morning Star transported butter to markets in both Astoria and Portland. Today, the Morning Star lives on as part of the Tillamook Cheese logo.

10 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

In time, a shift occurred from making butter to producing cheese. Cheese was easier to ship than butter, and was less perishable during transport. As the years passed, Tillamook earned a solid reputation for producing quality cheese, and in 1893 two Portland entrepreneurs, Harry Ogden and Thaddeus Townsend, purchased their own herd of cows and founded the first cheese factory in Tillamook.

In 1894, Townsend hired Canadian cheesemaker, Peter Duncan McIntosh, from a cheese factory in Woodland, Washington, to teach them the art of cheesemaking. It is McIntosh who is credited with educating local farmers on the production of cheddar cheese—the cheese that would become the signature variety for years to come.

In 1909, a number of the region’s cheesemakers joined forces to create the Tillamook County Creamery Association. The mission of the TCCA was to promote Tillamook cheese, and to ensure

quality standards and brand consistency. With the construction of a railroad connection to Tillamook in 1911, Tillamook cheeses became available in cities up and down the West Coast.

The early decades of the 20th century saw the demand for Tillamook cheese grow in leaps and bounds. Two world wars boosted both production and sales as federal government contracts resulted in the shipment of millions of pounds of cheese across the seas to the U.S. military abroad. By 1940, over a dozen independent cheesemakers were in business in the Tillamook area, all producing Tillamook cheese for the official brand of the Tillamook County Creamery Association. In 1947, the company began making ice cream as well, but initially it was only available in Tillamook, Clatsop, and Lincoln counties. Following World War II, the four largest cheese factories in the region— Holstein, Tillamook, Cloverleaf, and Mapleleaf—merged to form the Tillamook Cheese and Dairy Association (TCDA). In 1949, the TCDA constructed a sizable state-of-the-art facility along Highway 101 that quickly became a favorite tourist destination for coastal travelers, drawing more than a million visitors a year.

The 1960s, however, saw a rift develop between the TCCA and the TCDA. A dispute broke out over the marketing of Grade A milk, which essentially split Tillamook’s dairy farmers and cheesemakers into opposing camps. Families were divided and the community was a powder keg of contention, and reconciliation proved elusive. At one point, violence actually erupted when a homemade bomb was detonated at the residence of Beale Dixon, the head of the TCCA, damaging the family home and automobile. The dispute dragged on for almost a decade, with both factions marketing their products as Tillamook Cheese.

Finally, on January 1, 1969, after years of litigation, both sides came to an agreement and reorganized under the banner of the Tillamook County Creamery Association, now a single, unified corporation.

The TCCA continued production at the Bandon factory for two more years before making the decision to shutter the facility and demolish the building, though the company continues to market cheese under the Bandon Cheese brand. Further expansion occurred in 2001, when an additional plant was constructed in Boardman, Oregon along the Columbia River. This facility— Columbia River Processing—produces the majority of all cheese marketed under the Tillamook brand today. In 2005, in response to customer concerns over the use of Bovine Growth Hormone on dairy cattle, the TCCA made the decision to ban its use among its member farms.

Today, a trip to Tillamook is not complete without a tour of the company’s visitor center. This new creamery, completed in 2018, includes a café, store, and restaurant where visitors can dine after learning about the history and operations of Oregon’s own premier cheesemaker. Tillamook has won hundreds of awards— local, domestic, and international—and like the old Morning Star schooner on its label, continues to deliver exceptional cheese and dairy products that would make its founders proud.

Tillamook Cheese Factory is located at 4165 N Hwy 101, Tillamook, OR 97141 and is open from 10am to 6pm every day. For more information, please visit www.tillamook.com.

During the 1990s, Tillamook continued to expand their product line to include sour cream (1993) and yogurt (1994). In 2000, the TCCA purchased the Bandon Cheese Factory, an operation on the southern Oregon coast that had been struggling for many years.

POP CULTURE

Candy Hearts:

A History Of A Sweet Treat

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

N

ecco wafers, candy hearts, Sweethearts, conversation hearts.

The candy goes by many names, with silly messages and a chalky consistency. The notorious candy hearts have a strange history that involves a pharmacy and America’s first candy machine.

Our story begins in 1847, with a pharmacist named Oliver Chase, who invented a machine to produce lozenges. Back then, apothecary lozenges were popular for sore throats and other illnesses. But 175 years ago, the process to make a lozenge was labor-intensive: pulverizing medicine and sugar paste by hand with a mortar and pestle, kneading dough, then rolling and cutting out little discs. Considered the first candy machine, Oliver invented a lozenge cutter to simplify the process, and smartly shifted from making medicine to making candy, founding Chase and Company, which later became New England Confectionery Company, or Necco!

Here’s where the story gets really interesting! Legend tells us that Union soldiers during the Civil War carried Necco wafers, known as “hub wafers,” and Oliver Chase might have been inspired by the love letters

these soldiers carried. Historians suggest instead that Daniel Chase, Oliver’s brother, was inspired by the growing popularity of Esther Howland’s Valentine Day cards which began selling in the mid-1800s. A third and more likely explanation is the oddly named cockle, a popular candy shaped like a scallop seashell which contained a “motto” printed on a thin roll of paper. Daniel cleverly improved upon this design to print the messages directly onto candy, by using a felt roller pad wetted with red vegetable coloring.

However, Daniel’s “conversation candies” or “motto lozenges” weren’t heart-shaped until later in 1902. Up until that time, their candy was sold in a simple disc shape, but eventually were sold in shapes like baseballs, watches, and horseshoes. The candy hearts were hugely successful, and over the next 100 years other smaller companies began selling similar candies. In 1990, Necco acquired Stark Candy Company and became the “leading manufacturer in conversation hearts.” Today, the company claims to manufacture nearly 100,000 pounds of Sweethearts every day from midFebruary through January and approximately 8 billion candy hearts each year.

But what is a candy heart exactly? Necco offers classic Sweethearts, as well as chocolate, sugar-free, “dazzled,” and “color your own” varieties. According to their website: “Manufacturers combine sugar, corn syrup, cornstarch, f lavors, gums and colors into a mixing machine to create a dough, which then goes into a machine that presses it flat, stamps it with sayings and cuts it into hearts.

After 30 minutes in a “drying tunnel,” the six different heart flavors are mixed together and packaged.” Surprisingly, they’re not made out of chalk!

Daniel Chase’s original printed lozenges were larger and therefore included longer phrases, like “HOW LONG SHALL I HAVE TO WAIT? PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE.” There were also weddingthemed sayings, such as “MARRIED IN WHITE, YOU HAVE CHOSEN RIGHT.” Previous sayings like the timeless “FAX ME” and “GROOVY” have been discontinued. “BE MINE” and “KISS ME” you may be more familiar with.

Whatever your feelings on candy hearts, they’re a fun and fascinating little piece of American history.

Sudoku Puzzle #17 SEASONAL

MUSHY MOVIES

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

Pride and Prejudice (2005) - PG

50 First Dates (2004) - PG-13

Based on Jane Austen’s romantic novel published in 1813, there are many film versions of P&P but this is the best one, in my honest opinion, and I’ve seen a lot of them!

This is a romance drama starring the electric Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, alongside such brilliant actors as Donald Sutherland and Judi Dench, and many other familiar English faces. What stands out most is the quick wit and ratatat dialog, not just between men and women, but among everyone in high Victorian society in the English countryside. This is a movie of side glances and subtext, wry smiles and melodrama. What really ties this together is a masterly, whimsical score by Dario Marianelli that’s guaranteed to make your heart swell.

Adam Sandler has starred in a curious number of romantic comedies which are surprisingly good, and this is no exception.

This movie co-stars the lovely and hilarious Drew Barrymore, who has a rare condition of anterograde (short term) amnesia following a car accident. The comedy and yearning ensue when Henry (Sandler) and Lucy (Barrymore) fall in love over and over, and Henry’s attempts become i ncreasi ng ly more involved and sentimental in an attempt to cause her to remember him. Also starring Rob Schneider, Sean Astin, Blake Clark, and Dan Aykroyd, this movie is as sweet and sappy as it is hilarious and downright absurd.

10 Things I Hate About You (1999) - PG-13

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (2018) - PG-13

A wry adaptation of Shakespeare’s comedy The Taming of the Shrew, this film follows a sprawling 90s cast with the likes of beau-hunk Heath Ledger, starlet Julia Stiles, and quick-witted Joseph-Gordon Levitt. The plot, if you’ve never read the play, is a convoluted tangle that is best explained as a series of romantic bets on unlikely love, not dissimilar to a number of plates spinning simultaneously as the audience holds its breath and fights back laughter. But especially, the film involves Heath Ledger trying to “tame the shrew,” or stubborn woman, Julia Stiles. It’s teenage love, rebellion against parents’ wishes, and high school drama, which makes for a fascinating and impossible potpourri of comedy, romance, and drama. And the 90s music ain’t half bad either.

In this teen romantic comedy, shy high school junior Lara Jean has her unsent love letters unknowingly sent out to her crushes by her younger sister.

What follows is as equally nerve-wracking as it is adorable and sweet, as she begins down a complex journey of conf licted feelings and love and heartbreak.

T h is roma nt ic comedy is startlingly modern, full of sleek text chat bubbles and Gen Z slang, and an incredible insight into what young love looks like in the 21st century. Starring Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, and Janel Parrish, this movie spawned two sequels and a cult-like following.

BEAVERTON’S BRICKS & MINIFIGS

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer • Photos by Craig Brubaker

A

t Bricks & Minifigs, we build our customers’ dreams brick-by-brick with our extensive knowledge and an endless selection of LEGO products!

sets on the market!

There is one limitation, and one limitation only when it comes to Bricks & Minifigs: your imagination!

LEGO: Just the brand name alone brings a smile to our faces. It sparks a flourish of creativity in our minds, and whether we’re eight or forty-eight, we’re never too old to enjoy the almost endless possibilities within. Bricks & Minifigs, located inside the Cedar Hills Crossing mall (just behind Starbucks), is your one-stop aftermarket LEGO toy shop! They buy, sell, and trade everything LEGO, from complete sets to minifigs and accessories.

And because they’re the largest store of their kind, they have the widest selection of new, used, and retired LEGO

Franchisee Lynnette Scott opened the store in 2012. At the time, her son was just 10-yearsold and a LEGO fanatic.

With no understanding or regard for what he was asking, he begged her to open her own LEGO store. And Lynnette took the request seriously! It took her a year, but her perseverance paid off when she finally convinced the owners of Bricks

18 18 To ToAdvertise AdvertiseWith WithUs, Us,Call Call503.825.2111 503.825.2111

& Minifigs, a local company, to branch out and start franchising. Lynnette became the first franchisee in a business that has now spread out all across the nation!

Her initial drive was really just to be the “cool mom.” She had been an elementary school teacher for years and was looking for a change. She envisioned running a business that her son could participate in and enjoy while lavishing him—and other kids—with the best birthday parties imaginable. Little did she know how successful the business would become or how much she would grow to love it.

Bricks & Minifigs is a fantastic place for so many reasons! First, they carry many items that you can’t find anywhere else. Like most collectibles, LEGO sets and minifigs are only available for a short time, then they’re retired. If you don’t pick them up in a timely manner, you can miss out. At Bricks & Minifigs, because they buy, sell, and trade new and used LEGO sets, minifigs, and loose pieces, you can often find many of those sets you thought you’d never be able to buy again! Second, they have play areas for amazing parties! Lynnette’s

location in particular has a designated space for parties that is almost 1000 square feet! You provide the food and drinks and she provides the space and the toys. She also does camps!

This is a locally owned and operated business, run by passionate people who have not turned their backs on their inner children. Lynnette said she truly loves her work, loves her staff, and her enthusiasm is contagious.

It’s obvious the minute you walk into the store and you notice all of the displays in the windows (done by various customers and staff members). In the same way they did when we were kids, LEGO toys continue to bring people together, to encourage interaction, and to share in their creativity.

Next time you’re looking for the perfect party place, call Lynnette at 503-644-5701! Or stop on by and peruse the shelves; you just might find that long-retired LEGO set you always wished you’ d purchased but thought was gone forever! Bricks-n-Minifigs is located at 3205 SW Cedar Hills Blvd in Beaverton.

PLANNING FOR WINTER EMERGENCIES

A

s winter looms, so does the prospect of storms and inclement weather capable of wreaking havoc on both life and property. Planning ahead for weather emergencies can safeguard your home, as well as your loved ones. The following tips will help you prepare for the worst that nature might throw your way.

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

Property maintenance is a preventative measure that may help avoid or mitigate damage to one’s home. Attend to tree branches that could break in high winds or freezing conditions.

Consider purchasing a portable generator in case power is out for an extended period.

Vehicle

Family Preparation

Assemble an emergency kit. Be sure you’re equipped with extra blankets, flashlights with extra batteries, a batteryoperated radio, a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher, and enough prescription medications to last at least a week.

Stock up on non-perishable food and water. Provisions should be adequate to last your family a minimum of three days.

Regrouping locations.

Families should establish locations both on and off their property to rendezvous should they become separated during an emergency.

Family members should learn basic First Aid and CPR should a medical emergency occur.

Home Preparation

Check that walls and attics are properly insulated, and that doors and windows are weather-stripped and adequately sealed.

Inspect and clean chimneys, and make certain heating equipment is in good working order.

Insulate pipes. If freezing temperatures are forecast, allow faucets to drip to avoid freezing solid.

Monitor fuel supplies. If your home is heated via propane, oil, or wood, be sure you’re adequately stocked should an extended storm hit.

Stock up on water. In addition to bottled water, filling one’s bathtub with water as well as extra containers will help address a host of water-related needs from drinking and cooking to flushing toilets.

22 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

Winterize your vehicles. Have your mechanic check wiper blades, ignitions systems, batteries, antifreeze, lights, heater, brakes, defroster, and oil.

Inspect your tires to ensure that they have adequate tread. Be certain that the type of tires mounted on your car will be effective in inclement weather. In certain climates and jurisdictions, chains or studded tires will be required for travel.

Keep the following items in your vehicle: • • • •

A windshield scraper and small broom A bag of sand to create traction for tires in snowy/icy conditions Matches stored in a waterproof container A brightly colored cloth to tie to your antenna (preferably neon orange, yellow, or red) • An emergency kit (including first aid supplies, warm clothing, a flashlight, and blankets).

• Keep gas tanks full and batteries charged (for electric vehicles) in the event that you are required to leave your home.

Pets

Bring your pet animals indoors.

Outdoor animals should have an area where they can be sheltered from severe winter conditions. Grazing animals should have a protected food supply and a non-frozen water source.

Many of us won’t find time to address every item listed above; however, any preparation is better than none. A little forethought can go a long way when winter weather hits.

NOW OPEN IN TIGARD The Highest Quality CBD & Kratom A majority of our products are produced here locally in our Wilsonville production facility.

By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer

hopping and acquiring the right insurance policy is a complicated task. The vast number of options alone will leave you with your head spinning, and it’s not a decision to be made lightly! That’s why agents play such a pivotal role in the process. Their expertise in the market allows them to advocate for us; to ensure we obtain the most appropriate coverages at the lowest rates. Here in Tigard, we are fortunate enough to have Tracey and Bob Borra with Caerus Insurance, an independent agency designed to provide exactly the kind of advocacy support we need.

HISTORY

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

F

or many of us, the name Tillamook instantly evokes thoughts of dairy products, most notably, cheddar cheese. Generations of Oregonians have toured the iconic Tillamook Cheese Factory on the Oregon coast, marveling at the state-of-the-art facilities and enjoying the delectable cheese-themed entrees and ice cream at their on-site restaurant. Tillamook and cheese have become virtually synonymous, which leads one to wonder how it all came about. Cheese in Tillamook? What’s the story?

The story begins in the mid-nineteenth century as settlers crossed the Great Plains to the Pacific Northwest along the Oregon Trail.

While the Willamette Valley was the primary destination in Oregon for many of these early settlers, later arrivals discovered that much of the desirable land in the Valley had already been claimed. Turning their attention west, some of these pioneers crossed over the Coast Range to take up residence in the Tillamook Bay area. Although the coastal region posed certain challenges—namely, dense forest and abundant precipitation—it was the ideal climate to grow fields of lush green grass. Since cows thrive on green grass, and grass was a plentiful resource, dairy farming became the logical agricultural pursuit in the area.

Initially, these early dairy farmers churned out butter, hoping to market their product in the burgeoning city of Portland.

However, reliable roads over the Coast Range were scarce in those days, and after unsuccessful attempts at hiring ships to transport their butter down the Columbia River, the local farmers pooled their money and constructed a small schooner in 1855, christening it the Morning Star. For many years, the Morning Star transported butter to markets in both Astoria and Portland. Today, the Morning Star lives on as part of the Tillamook Cheese logo.

In time, a shift occurred from making butter to producing cheese. Cheese was easier to ship than butter, and was less perishable during transport. As the years passed, Tillamook earned a solid reputation for producing quality cheese, and in 1893 two Portland entrepreneurs, Harry Ogden and Thaddeus Townsend, purchased their own herd of cows and founded the first cheese factory in Tillamook.

In 1894, Townsend hired Canadian cheesemaker, Peter Duncan McIntosh, from a cheese factory in Woodland, Washington, to teach them the art of cheesemaking. It is McIntosh who is credited with educating local farmers on the production of cheddar cheese—the cheese that would become the signature variety for years to come.

In 1909, a number of the region’s cheesemakers joined forces to create the Tillamook County Creamery Association. The mission of the TCCA was to promote Tillamook cheese, and to ensure

quality standards and brand consistency. With the construction of a railroad connection to Tillamook in 1911, Tillamook cheeses became available in cities up and down the West Coast.

The early decades of the 20th century saw the demand for Tillamook cheese grow in leaps and bounds. Two world wars boosted both production and sales as federal government contracts resulted in the shipment of millions of pounds of cheese across the seas to the U.S. military abroad. By 1940, over a dozen independent cheesemakers were in business in the Tillamook area, all producing Tillamook cheese for the official brand of the Tillamook County Creamery Association. In 1947, the company began making ice cream as well, but initially it was only available in Tillamook, Clatsop, and Lincoln counties. Following World War II, the four largest cheese factories in the region— Holstein, Tillamook, Cloverleaf, and Mapleleaf—merged to form the Tillamook Cheese and Dairy Association (TCDA). In 1949, the TCDA constructed a sizable state-of-the-art facility along Highway 101 that quickly became a favorite tourist destination for coastal travelers, drawing more than a million visitors a year.

The 1960s, however, saw a rift develop between the TCCA and the TCDA. A dispute broke out over the marketing of Grade A milk, which essentially split Tillamook’s dairy farmers and cheesemakers into opposing camps. Families were divided and the community was a powder keg of contention, and reconciliation proved elusive. At one point, violence actually erupted when a homemade bomb was detonated at the residence of Beale Dixon, the head of the TCCA, damaging the family home and automobile. The dispute dragged on for almost a decade, with both factions marketing their products as Tillamook Cheese.

Finally, on January 1, 1969, after years of litigation, both sides came to an agreement and reorganized under the banner of the Tillamook County Creamery Association, now a single, unified corporation.

The TCCA continued production at the Bandon factory for two more years before making the decision to shutter the facility and demolish the building, though the company continues to market cheese under the Bandon Cheese brand. Further expansion occurred in 2001, when an additional plant was constructed in Boardman, Oregon along the Columbia River. This facility— Columbia River Processing—produces the majority of all cheese marketed under the Tillamook brand today. In 2005, in response to customer concerns over the use of Bovine Growth Hormone on dairy cattle, the TCCA made the decision to ban its use among its member farms.

Today, a trip to Tillamook is not complete without a tour of the company’s visitor center. This new creamery, completed in 2018, includes a café, store, and restaurant where visitors can dine after learning about the history and operations of Oregon’s own premier cheesemaker. Tillamook has won hundreds of awards— local, domestic, and international—and like the old Morning Star schooner on its label, continues to deliver exceptional cheese and dairy products that would make its founders proud.

Tillamook Cheese Factory is located at 4165 N Hwy 101, Tillamook, OR 97141 and is open from 10am to 6pm every day. For more information, please visit www.tillamook.com.

During the 1990s, Tillamook continued to expand their product line to include sour cream (1993) and yogurt (1994). In 2000, the TCCA purchased the Bandon Cheese Factory, an operation on the southern Oregon coast that had been struggling for many years.
