n 1975, Pablo Cruise released its first album. The cover featured a tropical garden with a gorilla standing front and center. The band were no where in sight. It created great mystique and when asked what Pablo Cruise meant, the well-rehearsed answer went something like this: “Pablo”, represents an honest, real, down to earth individual, and “Cruise” depicts his fun loving, easy going attitude towards life. In essence, that’s what Pablo Cruise music is all about.

In 2005, a reunited Pablo Cruise picked up where they left off and today the band performs all over. Since getting back together, they have released two live CD’s and a DVD. Today, Pablo Cruise is bringing more energy and excitement to the stage than ever before.

65th Annual Christmas Ship Parade

C

hristmas Ship owners are getting ready to set sail for their 65th year as residents make plans to watch the colorful flotillas during the parade’s 2019 holiday season.

The Christmas Ship Parade will open Thursday, December 5th on the Columbia River in the area of the Vancouver waterfront. The Christmas Ships Parade will run for 15 nights through Sunday December 22nd. There will be no parades on Dec 8th, 9th, and 16th.

Many restaurants and hotels along the Columbia and Willamette rivers are already taking reservations with nights already booked for some evenings.

The boats, 14 to 65 feet long, are brightly decorated for the holiday season. The ships draw thousands of residents each night to the banks of the rivers for their performances. Up to 60 holiday boats are expected to make up

The privately owned vessels come from Portland, Vancouver, McMinnville, Salem and Hood River areas.

Some of the ships owners have been part of Christmas tradition for more than 30 years with many being part of the Christmas Ship fleet for over 20 years. Each skipper is responsible for their own expenses, including fuel and

insurance for their vessels over the two weeks. This can run into the hundreds of dollars, which in itself is a testament to the dedication and enthusiasm the Christmas Ship skippers bring to the organization, and the community. The organization accepts donations to help cover the cost of maintaining, managing and promoting the organization, but none of these donations go to the skippers, their crews, or their boats.

Christmas Ships, Inc. is an all-volunteer organization, with no paid staff or officers, just a large group of friendly individual volunteers/skippers who give back to the community they love.

A full schedule for the Columbia and Willamette fleets, as well as a link for donations can be found at www.christmasships.org.

A Rainy Day In Eugene

Willamette Valley Life • Winter 2019/2020

A

s Oregonians, we know life doesn’t stop just because it’s raining.

Eugene is an active outdoor town and most of the time we don’t even notice a few sprinkles. But sometimes a downpour can get you down, especially when the kids are bouncing off the walls.

Stormy days can be a great excuse to try something new! Here are a few rainyday destinations worth exploring.

NOT JUST FOR SHOPPING For families seeking room to romp out of the weather, malls are a magnet. Valley River Center offers wide open space under cover. Ever heard of “mall walking”? One lap around the mall is 0.65 miles, so you can cover almost three miles by circling the mall four times. There’s also a free childrens play area for kids under 42 inches tall.

Cushioned benches for parents line the enclosed carpeted play space featuring climbing structures. But even better, take the escalator to the Adventure!

Children’s Museum on the second floor.

This hub of interactive exhibits and creative play is the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon.

A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING Museums are also a natural wet weather attraction. The Eugene, Cascades and Coast region has so many great museums that it can be difficult to choose which to visit. The Eugene Science Center is versatile for all ages – it features a “Tot Spot” for children under 5, as well as rock music-themed Planetarium laser light shows. The Museum of Natural and Cultural History has interactive displays and detailed dioramas.

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art engages children with special “ArtPacks” backpacks and the Lane County History Museum features a scavenger hunt and puppet theater.

Don’t fight it - get outside. Stomp in mud puddles, dance and run. Take advantage of empty parks and trails to visit popular attractions or explore somewhere new. Leave your umbrella at home for that true Oregonian experience!

enjoys codes, riddles or puzzles will find Escape the Room Oregon exhilarating. Parents and children can work together to collect clues and decipher the meanings to “escape” from themed rooms. Immersive game rooms are family-friendly and range from easy to hard.

doesn’t require tickets, there are plenty of kid’s arcade games to suck up your spare quarters.

MORE THAN BOOKS

HEART PUMPING FUN The open gym at the Northwest Ninja Park gives kids unstructured time to conquer a variety of obstacles. Coaches are available to answer questions and give tips on technical approaches as needed. Finally a safe place for them to literally bounce off the walls! Speaking of bouncing, indoor trampoline parks are another great way to give the kids room to get active. Visit Defy Extreme Air Sports and you might just be tempted to join them in their fun.

WORK TOGETHER “Book Scavenger” fans or anyone who

GO FOR A DIP Swimming is not just a summer thing.

You can find year-round play in the indoor wave pool at Splash! At Lively Park. Ride the waves, plunge down the water slide, soak in the hot tub (adults only) or wade in the kiddie pools.

Armed with a library card, kids can adventure to amazing places through fiction and non-fiction alike. The Eugene Public Library and neighborhood branches offer regular story times and a variety of activities including music, Legos, crafts, and classes geared for both children and teens.

AND FINALLY - WHAT’S WRONG WITH RAIN? Don’t fight it - get outside. Stomp in mud puddles, dance and run. Take advantage of empty parks and trails to visit popular attractions or explore somewhere new. Leave your umbrella at home for that true Oregonian experience!

ROARING GOOD TIME Roaring Rapids Pizza Company is home to a carousel, pizza and beer.

Need we say more? Sit inside the rustic lodge-style restaurant and gaze out at the rain coming down over the Willamette River. The 1930s carousel runs once every 30 minutes and though it

Kid-Friendly Wineries in Oregon’s Mid-Willamette Valley

C

hildren don’t necessarily jump to mind when most people consider a proper wine tasting route. But Oregon wine country is known for being laid-back and friendly, so unbeknownst to many, most wineries don’t mind if you have little ones in tow. Some even have designated play areas or offer room outside that both kids and adults can enjoy. Here are a few kid-friendly wineries to try in the mid-Willamette Valley.

Airlie Winery One of the most approachable labels out there, Airlie is welcome mat for the wine enthusiast in Monmouth. Plus, it welcomes the presence of both your kids and dogs. Adults can enjoy tasting refreshing whites like riesling, gewurztraminer and pinot blanc, and the little ones will appreciate wandering the estate. You’ll find something new every time you visit.

Left Coast Estate Left Coast Estate in Rickreall embodies the best of both worlds. On the one hand, they make solid wine, like a refreshing rose and an amazingly balanced chardonnay. But it also features an extra-laid-back atmosphere with wood-fired pizzas and amazing views that will appeal to every parent.

Lady Hill Winery The winery is situated on a pastoral and sprawling property in Saint Paul that dates back to the mid-19th century.

While at the estate, enjoy an expansive array of wines made from fruit grown on both sides of the Columbia River. As an added bonus, Champoeg State Park is next door and the perfect venue for an afternoon outdoors and on the shore of the river.

Cubanisimo Vineyards Cubanisimo Vineyards in Salem has made a case for its unique combo of New World wines and Latin flair. The Cuban theme extends into the all-ages 10

That way, they’re not empty handed as the adults work their way through the tasting flight. The rural Salem winery also hosts family-friendly movie nights in the summer.

Stoller Family Estate It’s tough to visit Stoller Family Estate in Dayton and not dash into the nearby fields with reckless abandon.

Your kids will surely want to, and mostly can on this extensive, beautiful estate.

Enjoy fantastic pinot noir and chardon-

nay as your kids explore the frisbee golf course, tire swing and curious nooks of this amazing estate. There’s so much to explore that you could easily spend an afternoon here. If you feel like a change of pace, head over to the nearby Wings and Waves Waterpark for a family-friendly wine country intermission.

Brooks Wines On top of having some of the best riesling and pinot noir in the land, Brooks Wines has fun for the whole family in Amity. The winery touts games for children as well as refreshing servings of lemonade. Resident chickens can be fed and when the weather is warm and the estate garden is full of strawberries, families can explore the grounds and gather fruit.

Bonus Stop: If your wine palate is maxed out, head over to the Benedictine Brewery in Mount Angel. There you’ll find the home of some of the best monk-made beer in all the land. Kids are welcome, there’s plenty to explore, and the monks are often both brewing and pouring.

Put it on your bucket list!

DAYCATION

The Underwater Lost Cities of Oregon

By Finn J.D. John

S

ince well before the time of Plato’s story of Atlantis, storytellers all over the world have had a special fondness for legends of cities and civilizations lost beneath the sea at the peak of their prowess. Often these places left only a misty legend and maybe, if a diver knows just where to look, some ghostly underwater ruins.

Oregon can’t claim to be hide the lost continent of Lemuria or the lost city of Atlantis. But in the mid-20th century, when dams were built all over the state to create hydroelectric power and control its unruly and flood-happy rivers, the lakes that formed behind them did cover some thriving Oregon towns. By taking a few liberties with the definition of “city,” we can dub these vanished communities the “Lost Cities of Oregon.” One in particular qualifies as an entire lost way of life.

Klamath Junction In the late 1950s, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation got to work on a dam project on Emigrant Creek, a few miles south of Ashland. There was already a dam on the creek, a 110-foot-high structure built by the Talent Irrigation District in 1924, which backed up a tidy little irrigation-and-water-supply reservoir there. Next to the reservoir stood the town of Klamath Junction, with two gas stations, a dance hall, some homes and a cemetery.

In 1960, the Bureau had finished its work, and a new 204-foot dam stood where the old 110-footer had stood. The waters of Emigrant Creek slowly filled the new impoundment and lapped at the foundations of the now-abandoned Klamath Junction.

Today, if you know where to dive, you can actually look around the ruins of the Lost City of Klamath Junction.

One young snorkeler reported seeing a gumball machine at an old gas station (although what she was looking at was more likely a glass-topped Esso gas pump.) It should go without saying that exploring underwater structures is 12

Robinette general store.

Oregon can’t claim to be hide the lost continent of Lemuria or the lost city of Atlantis. But in the mid20th century, when dams were built all over the state to create hydroelectric power and control its unruly and flood-happy rivers, the lakes that formed behind them did cover some thriving Oregon towns. extremely dangerous. Don’t do that.

Robinette The town of Robinette, out near Baker City, was originally intended to be a big railroad facility, and although it never reached big-town levels, it was important in its region. By the 1920s, it was the terminus of the railroad line,

so farmers and producers had to bring their goods there to access the rail network. It boasted a general store, a train depot, a schoolhouse, a hotel and several residences. It was also, at various times, home to several timber industry facilities and even a Standard Oil plant.

All of this vanished beneath the waves of Brownlee Reservoir in 1958 after the Idaho Power Company built a 420-foot dam with power station on the Snake River there.

Lookout Point reservoir: A lost suburbia Along the Middle Fork Willamette River, midway between Eugene and Oakridge, there once lay a collection of small towns and communities destined to become lost cities. They included Landax, Eula, Lawler, Signal, Reserve and Carter.

Landax and Eula were probably the biggest of these towns; both had their own grade schools until 1940, when they were consolidated at Lowell.

The towns’ last days in the sun came in the early 1950s, when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed Lookout Point Dam. One source says the towns were razed before the flooding. However, there were a few cement structures too, and those structures still stand beneath the waters of Lookout Point Lake.

These little hamlets are like all the other towns that have slipped beneath the waves of reservoirs and lakes in Oregon, except maybe Robinette — tiny, unimportant, ill-remembered, largely unlamented. There is, however, one that was none of these things. Its story is one that, in many ways, comes uncomfortably close to the legend of Atlantis.

Celilo: A lost way of life The story of the sacrifice of Celilo Falls, one of the great natural wonders of Oregon, to a growing nation’s thirst for hydroelectric power, is a story that’s been told well and thoroughly many times. As is always reported, the flooding of the falls removed the local Native Americans’ fishing grounds, and with it a key part of their culture. One thing that’s often not mentioned, though, is the loss of their actual homeland.

When Celilo Lake rose and flooded the lands around the falls, it basically rendered the local Native population homeless, flooding their village as well as the ancestral land on which they lived.

After it was flooded out, Celilo Village was relocated – sort of. Actually, it was replaced with a brand-new compound built at minimal expense near the edge of the lake that covered what had once been their land.

Other towns that were moved to make way for reservoir impoundments, such as Lowell, were conserved as much as possible; houses were moved or their owners were paid off, and the new town grew as the old town had done. The new Celilo Village, though, was built for the Native Americans by the Army Corps of Engineers at the behest of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The result was something that looked a lot less like home than the old village. In fact, it more resembled a prison or a military base. It was cut off from the river by the highway and the railroad, both of which it was quite close to. Not surprisingly, it soon got to looking very ramshackle indeed.

In 2006 residents got some much-needed improvements to the village courtesy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

In particular, there is a great new longhouse, along with some

Celilo Village

improvements to the water and sewer systems. All of this served up with tone-deaf grumbling from certain BIA officials, who seem to feel the reason the village was so awful was that the Native residents didn’t take enough pride in it. But if you ask the residents, most of them would tell you they’d trade it all in a heartbeat for their old village, now seemingly lost forever under the placid surface of someone else’s lake.
