BOB’S BURGERS

of the

MID-VA

By Nicole Krueger Special to the Statesmen Journal

ver seen someone so excited about a fast-food burger, they jumped for joy? Gina Dankenbring has.

That’s what happened when the owner of Golden Grill Concessions resurrected Salem’s beloved Bob’s Burgers at the Marion County Fair in July. “I’ve never seen a stampede enter the fair like that,” she said. “People were running to the line. Running! You could see the twinkle in their eyes. You could see them jumping up and down. We had old Bob’s commercials playing, and they were singing along with the commercials. Everybody had their different memories of it.” Three decades of former teenagers remember Bob’s as their watering hole. From its opening in 1955 through the 1980s, teens from all over the Salem area would parade to the Capitol Street drive-through on Saturday evenings to park, eat and hang out. Even after the last restaurant closed in 2001, nostalgic fans kept it alive on social media.

LLEY

Peop e ’as concession So when Bob’s reappeared las Cho booth ic e last summer, offering its signature combination of special sauce, all-beef patty and Franz bun, people ran to greet it—devouring all four days’ worth of food by closing time.

In its trial run, Bob’s comeback sent Dankenbring scrambling across Salem and even up into Tigard for supplies. She cleaned out store shelves all over town in an effort to satisfy 13 years’ worth of pent-up demand. Follow-up appearances at the Salem Hoopla and the state fair confirmed it: Bob’s was officially back. By mid-October, Dankenbring had signed a long-term lease for a full-time restaurant in Salem Center, open seven days a week, where fans sometimes come all the way up from Eugene to stockpile 30 to 40 cheeseburgers at a time. “The love for Bob’s has been amazing,” said Dankenbring, who began her career in food service at Bob’s when she was 14 and worked her way up. On her 18th birthday they gave her keys to the restaurant as manager; today she has an agreement with founder Bob Corey to operate several Bob’s Burger locations at seasonal venues

through her own concession company. “People now call me ‘Gina-Bob’,” she said, adding that the real Bob emails her frequently with advice. “He’s loving it.” Bob’s will hit the fair circuit again this summer, with appearances at the Marion and Lane county fairs, the state fair and even the Rose Festival in Portland. Dankenbring’s plans don’t end there, of course. She’s not ready to make any official announcements, but she hinted that in the near future she hopes “it will be a lot more convenient for people to get their Bob’s fix.” As for her long-term goals, she admits to dreaming of opening several drive-through locations where fans could cruise at Bob’s again. “So many people have good memories from cruising the ‘gut’ in the ’80s,” she said. “We’ve heard stories from every generation. I think I could put a Bob’s anywhere and people would come.”

BEST NONPROFIT HELPING NONPROFITS

CCTV

By Amy Elkar Special to the Statesman Journal

apital Community Television (CCTV) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to giving other nonprofits a helping hand. Some of the free services CCTV provides to nonprofits include the use of their Community Billboard, which displays on-air announcements or information the nonprofits wish to share with the public, Holiday Greetings (PSA’s), educational outreach, and video brochures. Kirimi Flitter, CCTV programming and promotion coordinator, responsible for the Community Billboard and pre-planning of the Holiday Greeting event, said the Holiday Greeting event is “the biggest single production of the year.” Last year they made 63 Holiday Greeting videos for non-profits that aired over a six-day period. “The entire staff is devoted to it,” she said. Another way CCTV has been engaging with nonprofits is their involvement in educational outreach to youth in the community. Flitter recently visited the Boys & Girls Club and a couple of local elementary schools, playing interactive games with students on a portable green screen.

will partner with CCTV next year, allowing students to complete video production course work at the studio since they do not have access to this type of equipment on campus. There is also talk that in the future, CCTV will develop a mobile studio.

program showcases nonprofits who are doing something insightful and innovative, through a conversational, unscripted segment. Brokaw and VanNatta talk to a variety of guests who are involved in some capacity with the organization.

“It’s often tough for high school and college students to travel to CCTV within their short class periods,” Flitter said, “so we would bring the classroom to them.”

“InSight is an immediate, fresh, more exciting and revealing way of showcasing nonprofits,” Brokaw said. “It lets people see nonprofits at work and allows them to share the most up-to-date information with the public.”

Through their Non-Profit Center, launched in 2008, CCTV has also developed an innovative way to help non-profits expand their outreach by providing a web presence for these organizations in the form of a video brochure. Wendy Brokaw, CCTV outreach specialist, was instrumental in turning CCTV’s vision for this service into reality. Brokaw, who produces the video brochures, believes giving these nonprofits a platform where they can share their mission and message is vital to educating the public of their services and recruiting the support needed to keep these non-profits running.

“Before you know it, they are asking how the camera works and are interested in the process,” Flitter said. “You see it build excitement and how they are wanting to be involved at such a young age.”

“We see this service as consistent with our mission as a fellow nonprofit because we understand the struggles they face, “ Brokaw said. “Cash strapped nonprofits don’t have an advertising budget, so this service came as a pleasant surprise to them that CCTV would offer at no cost and develop a short 3-5 minute video they could use at events, fundraisers, or volunteer training and that we can update it regularly for them. “

Flitter said that CCTV’s reach is expanding to local high schools and colleges as well. Corban University

Brokaw also created the CCTV show “InSight” in 2014, which she co-hosts with Mary Louise VanNatta. The

Flitter said she is surprised to discover that despite CCTV’s presence in the community for the past 25 years, many people are still not aware of the free services they provide, not only to nonprofits, but to anyone who lives in the Salem community. “Equipment use is free, studio time is free, channel use is free, and we offer low-cost media classes,” Flitter said. “As long as you are a Salem resident and are willing to attend one of our orientations, CCTV will provide a forum where you can exercise your freedom of speech in the form of video.” Brokaw agrees with Flitter regarding the importance of CCTV’s services and mission. “People think only those in the media can have a voice in the community,” Brokaw said, “but this allows everyone to have a voice.”

And if an employee refused to meet Roth’s lofty customer service standards even after being coached, he might tell a manager to “graduate him so he can go work for our competitors.” It’s been a year and some change since the passing of the 79-year-old Roth’s Fresh Markets co-founder, but his ideas about how to treat customers continue to permeate the grocery chain’s culture.

If you weren’t smiling, he might coax you to “take your smile out of your shirt pocket.” If a customer brought back a piece of bad produce, he might tell you to “give ’em the pickle,” which meant hand-picking the perfect one for them. If you chatted with a customer too long while others waited in line, he might urge you to “know when to hold ’em and know when to fold ’em.”

MID-when “He was a phenomenal teacher VALitLcame EY to service, and all of us were extremely lucky,” said

People company president Michael Roth. ’s C“All those little hoice sayings became a part of our lexicon.” While some of his dad’s signature aphorisms might seem a bit old-fashioned, they reflect an approach to customer service that has only grown more relevant in a world of smart phones and social media, Roth believes. “In my dad’s day, if you were frustrated you had to go home and get a piece of paper, write the letter, address it, put a stamp on it and put it in the mailbox,” he said. “Now if people are frustrated, they can just go to the parking lot and send an email.” At the core of the company’s customer service philosophy lies Orville Roth’s four-legged chair approach: Take care of the customer, take care of the employee, take care of the vendor and take care of the community. For Michael Roth, the first two legs of the chair are, in many ways, one and the same. “The number one thing is to have the happiest employees. If you have the happiest employees,

they’re going to treat the customers better,” he said. “If you don’t treat your employees right, there’s no way they’re going to treat customers better than they’re treated. But if they feel respected, they’ll give respect back.” He’s also acutely aware that good customer service begins with management. He remembers the way his dad used to point to a bottle of ketchup and say, “The bottlenecks are at the top.” That’s why when mistakes happen, he’s the first to take responsibility—and he always makes a point to learn from the error. “My dad used to say a lot of businesses spend a lot of money on consultants,” Roth said. “Roth’s chooses not to spend a lot of money on outside consultants, and instead, our customers are our consultants. “We listen to the customers and learn from them.”

ehind every great sports team are dedicated coaches and players, diehard fans, and of course, who could forget the spirited mascot?

Although Corban University athletic teams have always been known as the “Warriors,” they have never had a physical mascot to embody the spirit behind the name. That all changed January 16, when “Cadmar the Warrior” was unveiled to the public for the first time during one of Corban’s home basketball games. Greg Eide, Director of Athletics, believes Cadmar, whose name has Irish roots and means “Brave Warrior,” has definitely helped build excitement during athletic events. “Having a physical mascot like Cadmar will allow us to add to our student and fan experience as we build the Cadmar brand and his association with Corban Athletics”. Eide said, “much like Benny the Beaver and Puddles the Duck.” Danny Day, Sports Information Director, believes Cadmar can also help students put things into a proper perspective. “Students at Corban are ultimately here, first and foremost, to develop their relationship

Peop with Christ and go out andlemake ’s Ca difference in hoicehelps the world,” Day said. “However, Cadmar

build excitement on the athletics side of things, and finding a balance is what Corban students should strive to do.” Eide believes that in addition to providing entertainment at the games, Cadmar can also serve as a bridge between Corban’s athletic programs and the community. “Young children that come to our games enjoy interacting with Cadmar,” Eide said, “and we hope to use him around the community in elementary schools and at other children’s events. Cadmar isn’t the only thing Corban Athletics has to be excited about. Over the last two years, Eide said they have increased the number of athletes on campus from 215 to about 280. “This has created a pretty unique situation where almost 1 out of every 3 students on campus is on one of our 13 athletic teams,” Eide said. “We are on a roll due to the fact we have a president in Dr. Sheldon Nord who recognizes the importance of athletics on a college campus,” Eide added. “As a result, he has been very supportive in allowing us to go out and hire top coaches to lead our programs and

has also provided the funding to create competitive programs.” One such coach is Aaron Lewis, who was named head coach last year of the men’s soccer team. Lewis previously worked with the Portland Timbers and is an alumnus of Corban. “His first year here, he led the soccer team to the Cascade Collegiate Conference Championships,” Day said. “That was the first championship win the soccer team has had since Aaron played on the team in 1998!” “Our athletic teams and department continue to gain momentum as we continue to pursue excellence and as we create a positive atmosphere for athletes to thrive in and to develop lifetime relationships and memories,” Eide said. If you haven’t been out to campus to take in a game, the Corban Athletics Department invites you to join them for a baseball or softball game this spring. Who knows? You may even run into Cadmar!

MOTOR VU DRIVE-IN

of the

MID-VA

By Amy Elkar, Special to the Statesman Journal

h, those summer nights! And there’s no better way to spend those summer nights than taking the family to see a drive-in movie at the Dallas Motor VU Drive-In. With only four drive-in theaters remaining in Oregon, Willamette Valley residents are fortunate to be able to continue to participate in a theater experience that is reminiscent of an earlier time. Despite numerous other drive-ins going dark, Motor VU has found a way to remain open throughout the years. Original owners, Don and Jeri Wernli, built and first opened Motor VU in 1953. The theater’s fourth owners, Jeff and Robin Mexico, purchased the drivein along with Dallas’ Fox Theater in 2007. At that point, both Motor VU and the Fox Theater were in a degenerative state. However, Jeff was not new to the business of restoring independently owned theaters that had either already closed their doors, or were near to doing so. Prior to the Motor VU and the Fox Theater, Jeff renovated Star Cinema in Stayton in 2002 and reopened its doors after a two-year closure.

LLEY

People ’s C He took on the project in an effort toh“bring oic e

entertainment back to the downtown area and revive the city of Stayton.” The grand re-opening of Motor VU was in 2008, which sported a new digital sound system, snack bar, flooring, countertops, ice cream machine and a walk-up espresso stand. They added items to their concessions menu, including one of their most popular--pizza. Since then, they have continued to improve the picture and sound quality, adding FM transmitters and a high-definition digital projector. The remodel and upgrade are only a part of what Jeff attributes to Motor VU’s success. “It’s a family event,” he said. “When families come to the drivein, they arrive early to get a spot, bring board games to play, visit with other people, and hang out until the movie starts.” Affordability is another reason customers return. After all, where else can people see two first-run movies for only $5 per person, or $20 minimum per car? “You can’t beat that!” Jeff said. “And the snack bar is very reasonably priced.” Jeff also believes that because they’re independently owned and operated, they’re able to provide a

Photo courtesy of Motor Vu Drive-In

higher quality of customer service, which keeps people coming back. “When you walk in the door, we care about your experience,” Jeff said. “We will bend over backwards for you.“ “We get a lot of people who drive a long way, even all the way from the Coast, to come to our drive-in for the experience,” Jeff added. “Adults today grew up going to the drive-in and they want their kids to experience that as well, and once they come, they come back because it is a fun place to go. Plus, they run into people they have not seen in years! It’s a community within the community.” Motor VU Drive-In is open Fridays and Saturdays during April; Friday through Sunday during May; and seven days a week during the summer months. Motor VU also holds a Cruise-In mid-August, where they have 200-300 classic and muscle cars on display and a double feature of a classic film followed by a new release.

picnic, a bottle of wine and music on the lawn: The outdoor summer concert is as Oregon as umbrellas and Birkenstocks.

At the forefront of the trend lies the Oregon Zoo—the first zoo in America to host a summer concert series, and one of state’s earliest outdoor concert venues. “The zoo helped start the whole outdoor concert trend in Oregon,” said Bear Concerts owner Steve Reischman, who’s been booking zoo concerts almost since their inception in 1979. “They were designed to draw people into the zoo at hours they don’t normally go.” Drawn by the scenery as well as the chance to listen to local jazz and bluegrass, people came by the thousands. The concert series proved so popular, the zoo started booking—and selling out—shows for legendary acts such as Ray Charles, B.B. King and Smokey Robinson. Today the zoo continues to offer an eclectic buffet of big-name acts, and people keep

flooding in from all over the region. For Salem residents, the zoo provides a unique concert experience within easy distance. Although the full 2015 lineup hasn’t been finalized, artists on deck for this summer include Weird Al Yankovic, whose two September shows sold out instantly; Christian rock bands NEEDTOBREATHE and Switchfoot; the iconic B-52s; and country music diva Emmylou Harris. Big names aside, there’s something “intangible, almost indescribable” about listening to music while surrounded by animals. Part of it may have to do with the lush green background of Portland’s West Hills, and part it of certainly comes from being able to stop and say hi to their favorite animals before the show. “People can feel good when they buy a ticket that their money is going directly to a cause. It’s helping to feed and care for the animals,” he said. The critters remain a draw not just for concertgoers, but for the artists as well. Many of them request a behind-the-scenes meeting with some of zoo’s own celebrities, and the keepers

are happy to oblige. When Randy Newman played the zoo in 2013, he got to meet the rhino and “absolutely went nuts,” Reischman said. Then there’s the time the elephant Packy “blew snot” all over Cajun artist D.L. Menard and his band. He’ll never forget the summer of 2010, when members of the folk rock duo The Swell Season almost canceled their show after a Bay Area concert fatality. “They were traumatized,” he said. “We had a couple of counselors available for them, but what really worked was when a couple of the keepers volunteered to take their group down to meet some of the animals. “It was amazing, the empathy that occurred. They were traumatized, but they were brought back to comfort by feeding and petting the rhino.”

winery scene.

n jazz lingo, the “blue note” refers to a certain distinguishing pitch within a piece of music— the note that captures its emotional essence.

It’s a concept The Blue Goat owners Cassie and Dave VanDomelen adopted when they opened their Amity restaurant in 2010. Since then, they’ve devoted their business to pursuing a certain nuance of flavor that perfectly sums up the Pacific Northwest. “We all spend a lot of time outdoors and really appreciate the beautiful landscape we live in and the abundance that grows here,” said kitchen manager and assistant general manager Brian Potts. “We’re so spoiled with the diversity of things that grow here.” Capturing the flavor of the Northwest isn’t as simple as using the right herbs, however. It’s also about asking neighboring farmers what they’re growing right now and then building a menu around that. It’s about baking your own bread with flour freshly ground by a local miller and pairing the meal with a new vintage from the area’s burgeoning

LLEY

People ’s C hoice

And, true to the restaurant’s name, it’s about butchering locally raised goats in-house and smoking your own goat sausage in a hand-sculpted earthen oven made of clay from the nearby hills. “We try to be reflective of the community and build relationships with others in the valley,” Potts said. “We try to do something kind of special with all the things they provide for us.” That strategy is helping to put Amity on the map. Where once folks might have passed right through, foodies from Salem and surrounding areas now find it worthwhile to go a little out of their way for a meal at The Blue Goat. New businesses, including wineries, are taking root as well. “Word of mouth is getting around. It’s very exciting to see the growth of Amity and all the new businesses popping up around here,” Potts said. One of the restaurant’s keys to success has been its ever-changing menu, developed around whatever delectable bits the owners can cajole out of the region’s farmers. Although it does feature some perennial favorites, such as wood-fired tacos and

empanadas, most entrees fluctuate with local growing seasons. “It pushes us to keep thinking creatively and not get stagnant in one mindset for too long,” he said. The restaurateurs love to borrow from different cultures as well, frequently devising entrees inspired by South American, Asian, Spanish and French cuisines. “We don’t really limit ourselves to one particular genre, but we do put everything in a Northwest mindset and try to keep it connected to those flavors.” The restaurant’s centerpiece, a cob oven built by Oregon artist Kiko Denzer, helps with that connection. More than just ambience, it “lends a certain life and energy when you’re cooking with wood,” Potts said. “There’s a bit of flavor that comes through there.”

As the sled was pulled down the track, spectators of the would jump on and add weight -VALLEY MIDcould until the tractor not pull any further.

By Nicole Krueger Special to the Statesman Journal

alk around the lumberyard at Salem Salvage, and you might think you’re looking at piles of wood in every dimension and patina imaginable. But owner Kelly Brader sees something different. She sees bits of local history waiting to be re-imagined into something new. “It’s kind of like a treasure hunt,” she said. “We’ve got piles and piles of different woods, and for most of them we have the history of the building and we can share the story of the wood.” When people select materials for their doit-yourself projects, she said, “It just makes it more personal knowing it’s a 100-year-old piece of wood from a barn used by generations of people. Along with the fact that they built it themselves, that makes for a great story they can share along with their piece of furniture.” As do-it-yourself hobbyists themselves, Brader and her husband, Evan, understand the allure of reclaimed wood. That’s why, when they heard a barn in Scio was about to be burned four years ago, they asked if they could salvage

EY the materials instead. They spent moreL than two months tearing it down, working on evenings and weekends to extract the pieces they wanted.

People ’s C hoice

“It was a lot of hard work and a lot of trial and error,” she said. By the time they had finished converting some of those pieces into furniture and a fireplace mantle for their home, they had fallen in love with the reclaiming process. It wasn’t long before the owners of other historic buildings came knocking, and the couple continued to trade their demolition services for the ability to keep whatever they found. They also discovered an eager market for their salvaged lumber. “We had extra materials left over that we weren’t using, so we started listing them for sale and getting a feel for what they were worth,” Brader said. Before long they had their own lumber yard, complete with milling equipment, and left their jobs to devote themselves full time to dismantling buildings all over Oregon and transforming the wood into custom-ordered barn doors, mantles and other furniture. They also love helping other people bring their own do-it-yourself ideas to life. Customers

often show up with a project in mind but want guidance in choosing the right materials, or they fall in love with a piece from the lumber yard and need help re-envisioning it as something new.

“It’s a lot of taking the piece and figuring out how it can be used in a different way,” Brader said. “We’ve salvaged old gears and wheels out of a machine in the Dallas tannery that we’re using as a roller for a kitchen island. We put a piece of old rusty metal behind a window frame to use as a magnet board. We make candle holders out of old wooden gutters.” The latest project they’re fired up about is the demolition of an old barn in Rickreall, whose loft floor gave them a pleasant surprise. “It was built in the 1930s or ’40s, but the materials are older than that,” Brader said. “The loft floor is weathered gray on the underside, and it looks like it was already repurposed from an even older building. “That’s what’s so exciting about it. You never know what you’re going to find.”
