ANNUAL FIREFIGHTER

Holiday Food Drive 2020 has been a challenging year for many people. Activities that many of us look forward to every year were often placed on hold or cancelled altogether, and the Annual Firefighter Food Drive was no different.

However, this did not deter the local fire districts from finding a way to help community members in need this holiday season.

Instead of driving through neighborhoods with sirens and lights and collecting food donations as they usually do, the Woodburn & Hubbard Fire Districts set up donation sites at the Woodburn Fire District main station and in the parking lots at the Woodburn Premium Outlet Mall, Bi-Mart, Woodburn Estates & Golf, and at St. Agnes Church

in Hubbard to collect monetary donations. The districts were able to raise $6,860 to assist Love Santa, Inc. in purchasing 450 food boxes to help feed families throughout our community.

Each food box was packed with $100 worth of essential food items, including peanut butter, canned soup, meat and vegetables, pasta, potatoes, milk, fresh fruit, eggs, and other non-perishable items that will help sustain families in need.

Fire Chief Joe Budge noted, “This is the 16th year that fire districts have partnered with Love Santa. We appreciate the opportunity to support this organization and help families in need throughout our communities.”

Chug COFFEE Coffee

by Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter Photography

W

ake up and smell the delicious coffee! The next time you are in Aurora visiting the adorable antique shops, or even if you’re just passing through, make sure to drive up and get some caffeinated goodness from Chug Coffee. You may love it so much that you’ll want to come to town just so you can stop in for a pick-me-up!

This coffee cart location is brand new, having just opened in late summer of 2020, but the wonderful people who own and operate it are no strangers to the area. Samantha Ribb and her mom previously ran the R&R Cafe that used to be inside of the Wilsonville Subaru dealership. Things were going well and they were looking to expand and get into the drive-thru business.

Everything was moving along with plans to open a supplemental location to the cafe... but then COVID struck.

The dealership was forced to close the cafe to keep exposure at a minimum. As time progressed and they got all the necessary permits and forms approved, the new coffee-cart endeavor became more of a reality than the cafe, which was sadly never allowed

to reopen. Chalk it up to another casualty in the pandemic’s path of destruction.

But while one door has closed for Sam, another has gently swung open. Chug Coffee is a passion project for her, and she is very excited to now be serving amazing coffee drinks and pastries in the Aurora community!

Why the name “Chug,” you may ask? Well, Sam is a serious dog lover and her two “Chugs” (Chihuahua-Pug mixes) are the inspiration for the name. She wanted to incorporate them somehow into the theme of the business, and one day it dawned on her to use their breed name as a cute play on words. After all, who doesn’t need to “chug” a big cup of coffee early in the morning, right? The name fit perfectly, and the logo even includes the silhouette of her adorable little chug Jack!

You’ll also notice when you visit that most of the specialty drinks they serve are either named after her dogs or inspired by them.

There’s The Jack, The Lula, The Underbite, The Blue Dog Fog, Puppy Kisses, and Paws on the Beach; all of which are extremely clever and extremely delicious! They also feature two seasonal drinks, which recently were The Muttcracker (see what she did there?) and The Peppermint “Bark.” With a menu this whimsical and creative, not to mention tasty, how can you resist? For other dog parents who have their furbabies along for the trip, Chug Coffee even serves free whip cups for pups!

Being more limited on space in a coffee cart, they can’t serve all the same sandwiches, soups and meals they used to provide at the cafe, but Sam’s standards for quality certainly have not waned just because the menu may be a bit more limited. Being true ambassadors of the local communities they live in and serve, they get everything they can from local companies. Their pastries come from Cookie Monkey in Portland, and their coffee beans come from Dillanos Coffee Roasters, located just a few hours up I-5 in Sumner, Washington.

The blend they serve is a medium dark roast with a deliciously nutty, slightly chocolatey flavor. They also serve White Coffee, which is

10 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

something many of us may have never heard of, but definitely should try! Sam explains that White Coffee is brewed from beans that are only just lightly toasted which provides a significantly smoother, nuttier flavor to their profile. It’s the perfect solution for people who want to drink something coffee-ish, but aren’t necessarily big fans of espresso. She said this is a newer thing on the coffee scene in many parts of the country, but it’s very popular in the Northwest.

Sam loves what she does and she truly enjoys concocting new and delicious flavors for her customers to enjoy. She is like the proverbial “mad scientist” when it comes to this part of her job, but when it has such delicious results, who can complain? She experiments with all sorts of different flavor combinations to get the perfect mixtures, making her menu extremely interesting and versatile. I, for one, can’t wait to try The Lula, which is white chocolate, brown sugar, cinnamon, hazelnut, and a split shot of half regular espresso, half white. Or perhaps The Underbite, which is a dark chocolate mocha with a slight spicy kick. Hmm... decisions, decisions.

They also have a nice selection of concoctions made with teas and energy drinks, as well as hot cocoa and italian sodas. Their energy drinks are of special note since they don’t use the typical brands full of synthetic ingredients, which often have a chemical flavor or leave a metallic aftertaste. At Chug, they only use Lotus Brand energy concentrates, which are plant-based and naturally crafted using botanicals, superfruits, and natural caffeine from

green coffee beans. The result is a healthier and tastier energy drink with no lingering metallic aftertaste.

Of course, it wouldn’t be on the Chug Coffee menu if Sam hadn’t come up with some fun and fantastic flavor combinations. Puppy Kisses uses Pink Lotus Energy with coconut, guava, red raspberry and a splash of coconut milk, while Paws on the Beach consists of Blue Lotus Energy with passionfruit, pineapple, coconut, and coconut milk. They are absolutely delicious and a refreshing relief from the artificial energy drinks served elsewhere.

Sam, her mom and her crew are local people who love the communities they live in and serve. Sam’s only complaint about her new endeavor is that it’s much more difficult for her to talk to her customers now, beyond the standard pleasantries that get passed through the window with your drink. Her favorite part of the job (besides being a flavor-mixing mad scientist) is getting to know her customers, and she is eagerly looking forward to getting out into the community once restrictions are lifted to start sponsoring local sports teams and participating in local fundraising activities.

This is a local treasure of the highest order, so stop on by to support them and get a tasty treat in return!

Chug Coffee is located at 21030 Hwy 99E in Aurora, near the South End Antique Mall. Find them on Facebook and Instagram (@ChugCoffee) for updates on specials, new seasonal flavors, and their new delivery option, Chug Jugs! ◾

New Years’ Resolutions Aren’t Just For People!

by Jenna Preston, Active Media Contributing Writer

T

he third week of January is Healthy Weight Week, and while this was probably intended to help people focus on getting their weight under control, it’s just as important to do the same for your pets!

The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) estimates that 59% of cats and 54% of dogs in the U.S. are overweight or obese. This means that they have an increased risk for all sorts of problems, from skin and respiratory disorders to diabetes, kidney problems, and cancer. Even just a pound or two can mean a big difference to your pet’s health in the long term.

You can help your pets maintain a healthy weight by doing the following: ◾ Measure how much you feed them; don’t eyeball it. ◾ Research how often and how much to feed them based on their age, weight, and breed. Their dietary needs will change over time (ex: puppies may need to eat several times a day, while older dogs should eat fewer meals). ◾ Give them treats that are healthier and lower in calories.

Consult with your vet to discuss some good options. ◾ Get some exercise! Additionally, this is great for a pet’s mental health and behavior, and it’s good for us as well.

It can also be a good way to bond with your pet. ◾ Track their weight throughout the year, don’t wait for their annual checkup. This way you can keep track of whether they’re gaining or losing weight over time.

It may be hard to resist giving them lots of treats when they turn those sad eyes on you, but remember that your pet will be happier and healthier in the long run if they stay at a healthy weight. ◾ *info from avma.org

FAZOLI’S FA S T.

FRESH.

I TA L I A N .

by Dennis McNabb, Active Media Contributing Writer HEY, WOODBURN: looking for a new favorite restaurant? How about one that’s got the foundation and experience of a national chain, but is still locally owned and operated by the nicest gentleman you could meet? How about one which consistently and expediently serves fantastic Italian food, made fresh to order, at an incredibly attractive price point? If you haven’t had the good fortune of trying this new gem here in town, do yourself a favor and check it out now. The name of the place is Fazoli’s, and once you’ve tried it, you’ll never forget it.

Fazoli’s is not “fast food.” If you’ve been hesitant to pay them a visit, put your mind at ease. This is considered “fast-casual food,” meaning we get the best of both worlds: the quick, efficient service of a fast food restaurant partnered with the higher quality, fresher food of a casual dining experience.

“

Jim had worked in the high-tech manufacturing industry for nearly 30 years, and another 9 passed before he was in a place to take action on this opportunity. He never wavered from his goal, and his determination paid off when his very first Fazoli’s franchise opened near the Woodburn Outlet Stores in October of 2018.

In the first year and a half after the restaurant opened, Jim was able to establish his business within the community, garnering rave reviews from locals and building a loyal following of regular patrons. Then COVID hit, and just like for so many other local businesses, it’s been a struggle ever since.

... Fazoli’s is not ‘fast food.’

It’s ‘fast-casual food.’

Jim Pavelek is the man we can credit with bringing Fazoli’s to our area. He’s a 4th generation Oregonian, who was born and raised right here in the Willamette Valley. 11 years ago Jim and his family stopped at a Fazoli’s while on vacation in Arizona. He was so impressed with the unique experience his family had there, and by the company’s business model, that he immediately asked for information regarding franchising opportunities.

Fazoli’s is an established business franchise with just under 250 locations around the U.S, but you may not realize how very lucky we are to have a location here in Woodburn. It is the only location in the Pacific Northwest (so far), and it’s one of only 3 locations on the entire West Coast (the other 2 are located in California).

NEW!! CHICKEN CARBONARA

BAKED SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

Thankfully, Fazoli’s is uniquely positioned to continue serving their guests due to their drive-thru, online ordering, and catering services. However, they are still relatively new to town and haven’t had as much of a chance to build a name for themselves as Jim would have liked. Brand recognition has been one of their biggest challenges, especially since this is the first location in the area, and very few people are familiar with the name. We are hoping to change that!

Which brings us to the food, the entire reason to go there. Obviously, we could go into great depth about all of their amazing choices, but we’ll leave it to you to check out their menu online and see for yourself. Fair warning - your mouth may be watering by the time you finish! The bottom line is this: if you like Italian Food but you’re tired of the overdone, overpriced sit-down restaurants, you’re going to love Fazoli’s!

All the standard dishes are there: Spaghetti (with or without meatballs; regular or

KETO COMBO

GLUTEN FRIENDLY ROTINI

baked), Baked Lasagna, Baked Ziti, Fettuccine with Alfredo (with or without chicken), Pizza… the list goes on. In addition to the standard Italian fare, they have many specialty items like their Signature Bakes, including Spicy Baked Ziti with Chicken, or Loaded Baked Spaghetti, Specialty Pastas, Submarinos, Salads and a long list of vegetarian options.

means extra discounts on their already low prices!

Because their food is all made-to-order, they are able to accommodate many special dietary needs. They have many gluten-free options, vegetarian, and even vegan options as well. One new item that Jim is particularly excited about (and we never thought would exist at an Italian restaurant) is the Keto-friendly Pepperoni and Bacon Flatbread with only 8 net carbs! That is simply unheard of in a genre of cuisine that typically consists of mostly bread and pasta.

“

Not only does Fazoli’s offer Woodburn great food at a great price, but on top of that Jim is a local guy who loves his community. If it weren’t for all the restrictions in place at this time, you would all be familiar with Jim by now because he would be at all of the local fund-raising and community activities. You may have seen him previously working to help support local first responders, Red Cross, and the Feed the Children Organization.

Jim is eager to get back out there and get involved with the community again, but in the meantime, he wants everyone in Woodburn to know that he is incredibly humbled and grateful for the support he has received, both from the wonderful Woodburn Chamber of Commerce and the Woodburn Community as a whole.

... when it comes to dessert, you’re in for a treat!

If that’s not enough to entice you, let’s talk about specials. At Fazoli’s, they are always offering some kind of special.

They have a $7 Lunch Special that is always available, but they also run limited time offers for Loyalty Members.

When it comes to dessert, you’re in for a treat! Fazoli’s has partnered with the Cheesecake Factory to incorporate some of their amazing cheesecake flavors on the menu! The regular flavors are Triple Chocolate and New York Style Cheesecakes, but every season they have new limited time offers on exclusive additional flavors to choose from.

Fazoli’s may be new to the area, but we are so lucky to have this treasure here and we don’t want to lose it! Whenever it is safe for you to do so, get out and support this fantastic locally owned business. You won’t regret your visit… and I have it on good authority that their breadsticks may just be the best in the business!

Fazoli’s is located at 105 N Arney Rd, near the Woodburn Premium Outlets.

raig Holbrook is well-known in his hometown of Canby and the surrounding areas for his love of the stage. He’s directed numerous productions at the Canby Fine Arts Center over the years, including Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and he’s performed in or worked backstage for numerous shows throughout the Portlandmetro area. But if you step into his woodshop, you’ll quickly see that the theater is not his only artistic passion.

“I started doing carpentry from building sets,” Craig explained.

“When you’re directing a play, a lot of times, the building of the set falls to you too.” While working at Portland Center Stage, he discovered “woodturning,” which is simply the craft of shaping wood using hand-held tools and a lathe. Just like a pottery wheel, a wood lathe can be used to create an almost infinite number of patterns, objects and designs. The prop mistress there would use a lathe to create custom table legs for productions. “Really anything custom that they needed like that, she’d create it on the lathe,” he recalled. “I thought that was really cool.”

writing utensils, including mechanical pencils, that are handmade at his home shop in Canby. “The beautiful thing about doing pens is it doesn’t take large amounts of material,” Craig said.

The wood is cut to size – a small rectangle a few inches long – and a hole is drilled through the center to accommodate the brass tube that holds the ink chamber and other workings.

Then the wood goes onto the lathe, and Craig goes to work.

“The most important thing is to have sharp tools,” he quipped.

“Second is Band-Aids.”

Second is Band-Aids.

He later watched a PBS special on woodturning and decided to give it a whirl. He found a lathe, bought some books, watched some YouTube videos and began teaching himself how to go about it.

The result is Holbrook Pens - beautiful hand-crafted 26 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

”

His favorite part of the process is the thrill of discovery. Often the final product looks very different from the block it started out as.

“Sometimes, you never know what you’re going to get until you start turning and put some finish on it, and then you just say, ‘Oh man, this is beautiful.’”

Craig has passed the craft onto others, including his Cub Scout troop when he was a local den master. “I taught them to turn a pen for their moms on Mother’s Day,” he said. “The boys really liked it. They felt like they’d made something a lot better than the usual glued macaroni.”

You can find Holbrook Pens on Pinterest under the Blue Heron Woodworks board, or at Etsy.com. Also, be sure to follow Craig on Instagram (@craigholbrook1) to see more of his work and find out about theatrical goings on in the local area. ◾

hile Kelly Long makes that statement with a knowing wink and a smile, it’s no exaggeration.

When you walk into their retail warehouse, the floors are clean and the shelves are neatly stocked and faced more like the presentation you’d find at Whole Foods, rather than your typical hardware store or lumber yard.

You may find similar products and services at other retailers, but you will not find the same level of care, consideration, and customer service that you get at Long Bros.

A fantastic example of this occurred In addition, their friendly and just recently: a young local boy by the knowledgeable staff are trained to be name of Carson enjoys coming into available to assist customers with all the store regularly with his folks. For of their needs, while simultaneously Christmas this year, he actually took not hovering over you while you one of the Long Bros. advertisements shop. If you are a do-it-yourselfer and marked several of the items that and you live in the Woodburn area, he wanted to put on his list for Santa Long Bros. Building Supply is your to bring. Carson’s parents shared this local source for anything you need, with Mark and Kelly, thinking it was meaning you never have to drive for just a cute and entertaining story, miles to get to the big box stores! but the Longs were so touched by Carson’s love of the store that they This is a locally established & familytook it upon themselves to present owned business, started in 1974 and him with some of the items on his passed down through 4 generations.

She learned everything about the business from the ground up, until 2004 when she committed to working there full time. Her cousin, Mark Long, came on board in 2010, and eventually the two of them took over and continue to carry the torch of the family legacy to this day.

So, what really differentiates them from the big box stores? The main difference is in the ownership - the fact that it’s family-owned by local people who live in, love, and support their community. And specifically, to go a step further, it’s because Kelly, Mark, and their staff are 30 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

That kind of service is worth its weight in gold, and it’s all the more reason to go out and support your local small businesses. Next time you’re in Long Bros. with your kids, ask about their “Golden Hammer” contest: find where it’s hidden in the store and win a prize! Also, starting sometime in early 2021, they plan to develop a loyalty program for their regulars. They truly are the Nordstrom of Lumber… or maybe even better! 
