One day it was summer and the next it was fall. Just like that. It was like some celestial switch

was thrown and the cue was given to the rain and changing leaves. Welcome to the Willamette Valley; that’s just how nature rolls here. Growing up on a farm in Central Texas, I had a great love for hunting for arrowheads. I was sure to fi nd one soon after my father got fi nished plowing the fi eld in front of our farmhouse. I’m still fascinated by archaeology and thought it was time I had a little schooling on the Willamette Valley’s ancient history. I asked writer Sarah Horner to see what she could dig up (cough), and she ended up tracking down Dr. Leland Gilsen, who was the State Archaeologist for Oregon from 1978 to 2002. Th e result is a fascinating article on eff orts by archaeologists in the area to preserve the Willamette Valley’s history. Jennifer Nice went on her own exploration of the Valley and found a mini Garden of Eden in the form of Red Ridge

Farms in Dayton, Oregon. Residents and visitors to the Willamette Valley are generally aware of the huge number of grape vineyards that there are in the area, but there’s a growing number of olive groves springing up. Red Ridge Farms led the way with the planting of some of the fi rst olive trees in the area.

Not long after the summer issue of Willamette Valley Life went to press, we Willamette Valley Life went to press, we Willamette Valley Lifereceived word of the passing of our friend Chuck Bradley who contributed the article on the “Top Ten Willamette Valley Burgers” in that same issue. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

Preserving Willamette Valley History Th rough ArchaeologTh rough Archaeology

B Y S A R A H H O R N E R


A rchaeology is the scientifi c recovery of material remains of human life, culture and history from the

past. Dr. Leland Gilsen is a retired archaeologist who even in retirement continues to teach and share the importance of this historical science. “Everything we know about people – aside from oral history,” he says, “we have learned through archaeology.” Dr. Gilsen was the State Archaeologist for Oregon from 1978 to 2002 and says that the majority of archaeologists today are employed by private consulting fi rms for cultural resource management; basically, for the protection of our history As cities expand, archaeologists are employed to survey the area to make sure the project does not destroy or infringe upon archaeological sites. Here in Oregon, the Forestry Service and ODOT routinely consult with archaeologists before starting a new job. If possible, they modify the job if a historical site is discovered. How do archaeologists fi nd historical sites? Dr. Gilsen says in this area it starts with walking. “What we’re looking for is evidence of tool manufacturing,” he explains. Th ousands of years ago, tools were manufactured from stones such as agate, jasper or obsidian, materials not typically found

today in these areas. Dr. Gilsen says that archaeologists look for fl akes or fragments of these materials, indicating an important historical site. Since soils in this area tend to be acidic, organic materials are long gone but the stone tools remain. Pottery was very rare in this area due to such a prevalence of wood as a raw material, so we would not expect to fi nd ceramic evidence either. According to Gilsen, the Willamette Valley’s Luckiamute River is an excellent area to search for archaeological sites, and the ideal spot to search for artifacts is a freshly plowed fi eld after a rain. Once an archaeological site is discovered, it must be recorded and documented. Th e information is entered into a computer database which archaeologists may utilize for

their own research. Th e public does not have access to this information to protect the sites from looting. But what if you fi nd a piece of historical treasure, like an arrowhead? Typically it’s acceptable to keep a one-off fi nd such as that, but fi nding and keeping multiple items or using tools to fi nd artifacts is not allowed. You can fi nd guidelines for artifact discovery at oregon.gov. Th e University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History is the offi cial repository for the state’s archaeological fi ndings. Visitors can enjoy a variety of exhibits that help paint a picture of Oregon’s unique and colorful history. Dr. Gilsen has developed a traveling museum of Oregon native history that visits events around the state and is also available to groups such as schools, retirement homes and local historical societies. Additionally, Gilsen off ers an annual workshop, “Echoes in Time,” which allows participants to learn early living skills fi rst hand, from tool production to fi re building to textiles.

Perched atop a graceful knoll in Dundee Hills wine country, Red Ridge Farms is a multisensory

destination. Th e lush grounds showcase fragrant lavender, herbs and plants such as coralberry and heuchera. Allow yourself to devote an entire afternoon to indulge. Meander the serene paths and the labyrinth, let the tranquil water feature mesmerize you or enjoy a lazy picnic. Th e Red Ridge Farms property, owned and cultivated by the Durant family since the early 1970s, includes vineyards, an olive orchard, a gift shop, lavender fi elds, Oregon’s fi rst olive mill, two luxury vacation rentals, a nursery and a wine tasting room. Th e tasting room, a Northwest craftsman-style building completed in 2012, boasts sweeping views of vineyards, the valley fl oor and the Cascade Mountains. Inside the shop, you’ll fi nd distinctive gifts like handmade soaps, exquisite plants, epicurean cookbooks, locally raised honey and gourmet salt. Salt? Yes, about 40 kinds of salts are available for tasting and purchase. But the star of the show is Red Ridge Farms’ olive oil. Th e Durant family planted the fi rst of

their 13,000 olive trees in 2004. Th e olive grove spans 17 acres with a mix of cold-hardy Spanish, Greek, and Italian varietals. In 2008, they established the Oregon Olive Mill, which is the largest commercial olive

pressing facility in the state. Th ere are generally about six fl avored olive oils available for tasting, such as lemon, Spanish, blood orange, Tuscan blend, or Greek. Olive oil tasting in the shop is complimentary, and a delicious experience. Private tastings and tours are also available. Th e Tuscan blend is earthy and robust with a peppery fi nish. If you’re looking for smooth and buttery olive oil with hints of fresh-cut hay, try the Greek. It’s hard to choose just one bottle to take home. To celebrate the olive harvest, Red Ridge Farms will host the fi fth annual Olio Nuovo Festa November 22-24, 2013. All ages are welcome at this free event. Among other festivities, guests can taste samples of freshly pressed olive oil and newly released Pinot Noir, and nosh on Italian bruschetta. If you fi nd yourself under Red Ridge Farms spell at the end of the day, you don’t have to motor back home. Make it a weekend escape and stay the night at either

the Red Ridge Guest Suite or Stoneycrest Cottage. Both are perfect for a wine country getaway with all the amenities you would expect. Th e guest suite sleeps two and the cottage accommodates four people. Enjoy a bottle of Pinot Noir, drizzle some olive oil on your nibbles, and drink in stunning vistas from the deck. Ah, life is good on the farm.

“Rickreal” post offi ce was established in 1851 with Nathaniel Ford as postmaster. It was discontinued in 1857, but reestablished in 1866 with the spelling “Rickreall.” The offi ce has continued to operate to the present day. Rickreall was often referred to as Dixie during the Civil War and for some time after, because of the Southern sympathies of the local populace. Dixie was never the offi cial name of the community or the post offi ce.

Dallas was settled in the 1840s on the north side of Rickreall Creek and was originally named “Cynthian” or “Cynthiana.” In 1856 the town was moved more than a mile south because of an inadequate supply of water.

Baskett Slough National Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife refuge totaling 2,492 acres.

Monmouth’s status as the last dry town in Oregon was ended by a popular vote in the November 2002 election.Monmouth was settled in 1853 by a group of

pioneers who made a point of allocating 640

acres to build both a city and a “college under

the auspices of the Christian Church,” and

proceeds from the sale of these lands were used

to found Monmouth University. By the early

1880s the college fell on hard times. In 1882,

ownership was transferred to the State of Oregon

and it was renamed Oregon State Normal School

at Monmouth, and later the Oregon College of

Education. It is now known as Western Oregon

University.

Growing up in the Oregon Cascades and the Willamette Valley, nature and the landscape have had a

profound impact on Michael Orwick. He has always been inspired by the ability of landscapes to tell stories. Michael’s career in art started in animation at Will Vinton Studios and moved quickly into illustration, where he enjoyed bringing the ideas of others to life. As is true for many creative people, Michael was drawn to develop his own signature style of “Inspired Expressionism,” painting his ideas on canvas and inviting the viewer to provide the narrative.

Tell our readers a little bit about your background.

You should understand, growing up Dyslexic, school was hard, and any subject with letters, or numbers, or dates, or facts just seemed harder for me than most kids. If the assignment was visual or creative—ahhh—it was like the clouds parting and angels singing. I felt like saying, “Step back citizens I have this; everything is under control.” I started getting positive feedback and support that helped build my confi dence to express myself. Then in fourth grade I started being taken from the normal class to go to special classes, classes with just a few other kids; special kids all dealing with their own learning issues. The worst part was that I soon realized that this time was “art time” in normal kid-land and I was missing it—the one part I was good at. Again my community was watching out for me. My teacher Mr. Sweet jumped all over it. I have no idea how, but before I knew it, I was walking a block down the road by myself to go to art classes at Oaks middle school. It went from what I thought was a punishment to what felt like a reward and acknowledgment. I loved those challenging classes and learned a lot. This is just one example of the people in my life focusing on my strengths, not my weaknesses, and encouraging me to follow my art. As a youngster I wondered if I should be a doctor like my dad. One day I even asked my dad. He responded in a hushed secretive voice (at least that’s how I like to remember it), “People like you and me are lucky, we know what we want to be when we grow up. Many people never do.” He and my mother would go on to raise three children, all with highly monetarily- illogical jobs that are their passions. When you look at my work, you’ll quickly recognize that my artistic aesthetic is based on things I loved growing up around here in the Willamette Valley.

Clear creeks, dirt roads, the smell of freshly cut hay fi elds, the way tractors kick up dust making beautiful warm sunsets. Much of this is what my grandfather, great- grandfather and great-great grandfather saw. I feel honored I get to observe and capture it on canvas.

Were you always drawn to art?

Yes, but there was not too much around growing up in Lebanon. My parents were great about showing as much as they could. And, of course, there was Bob Ross on OPB creating paintings that felt like magic to my little kid brain.

When did you fi rst realize that you were an artist?

I sort of always felt like I was, or maybe I just used that as an excuse for being sort of weird, and not liking math.

What’s you favorite medium to work in?

Oils only.

What famous artists have infl uenced you and how?

The California Impressionists really showed me how to look at atmosphere and light.

What do you do for fun (besides painting)?

Traveling, camping and hiking. I love to be in and around nature.

What inspires you to create art?

Beauty. I love light and the atmosphere we get in the Pacifi c Northwest.

How do you keep motivated when things get rough in the studio?

I have very few other skills, and having a real job scares me to death. I know how lucky I am to get to make a living doing what I love, and it would be a major slap in the face to all the people who have

supported me all my life to let them down.

How have you handled the business side of being an artist?

I just understand that to continue to do what I love, I need to sell my work to keep buying more paint and canvas. Plus I love getting my creations out into the world.

Getting Dirty in the McMinnville AVAUnderstanding the history and impact of soil on Willamette Pinot Noir B Y R Y A N R E I C H E R T

Soil is complicated. Enjoying wine is easy — you like it

or you don’t — yet the elements that infl uence the fi nal product vary greatly. Vineyard soils are just one piece, and the Willamette wine region has a diverse and rich geological history that plays part in producing our world-class wines. Recently I explored the McMinnville American Viticultural Area and learned about the soils that anchor its vines. Resembling the larger Willamette, McMinnville has three broad categories of soils: marine sedimentary, volcanic, and deposits from the Missoula Floods.

Marine Sedimentary: Th ese soils, once at the bottom of the ocean that covered what is now the Willamette Valley, were uplifted during the tectonic plate shifts that formed the Coast Range Mountains. Because these soils do not retain water, vine roots push deeper into mineral rich layers below the topsoil. Examples of marine sedimentary soils found in McMinnville include Peavine, Steiwer and Dupee. Pino Noir grown on these marine soils tend to be rich in color and fl avor, off ering dark fruit and spice profi les.

Volcanic: Volcanic activity along the Cascade Range left basalt lava deposits and fl ows creating “fi ngers” of rock. Basalt breaks down into soils composed of fi nely crushed, iron-rich rock. Initially grey in color, the iron deposits oxidize to leave the rich, red color common in vineyards. Th e primary volcanic soil types found here are Jory, Yamhill and Nekia. Volcanic soils produce Pino Noir wines that are lighter in color and have an abundance of red fruit fl avors like cherry, strawberry and raspberry.

Missoula Floods: Great fl oods during the last ice age carried soil from Lake Missoula, in what is now western Montana, through Washington and Oregon. Th e fl oods left behind glacial rocks, like Erratic Rock, and laid fertile topsoil throughout the valley (seen primarily in the eastern part of the McMinville American Viticultural Area). Examples of the Missoula soils are Amity, Hazelair and Woodburn. Th ese are concentrated along the valley fl oor. Considered less than suitable for grape growing — fertile soils lead to lazy vines and less concentrated fruit — these soils are not noted to have any major impact on Pino Noir characteristics.

Even with these distinct soils, categorizing Mac Pino Noir by soil types is diffi cult at best due to the patchwork distribution within this viticultural area. Th e three categories discussed here can be further segmented to over 23 distinct soils. “Th e soil series is quite ‘confused’ in our [viticultural area], with a lot of mixing

due to uplift and erosion,” said Robert Brittan of Brittan Vineyards. Even where good details on soils exist, like Youngberg Hill and Maysara, diff erences in elevation, grape clones, and climate greatly infl uence the fi nal wine. At Youngberg Hill, Wayne Bailey agreed that “What makes McMinnville AVA distinct is the altitude and proximity to the Coast Range and the ocean, typically giving our wines more intensity, depth, structure and acidity.”

Below are tasting notes highlighting Pino Noir from the McMinnville AVA. Go out and visit this special region to taste the diff erence in the soils yourself.

A shamedly, I admit to making some poor fi nancial choices in my day. Some of them I should

have seen beforehand and others I just had to learn from after the fact. Fortunately, I’ve also learned to look for bargains in my wiser years. If you’ve read my column before you know I wholeheartedly believe in spending money. When fi nancial gurus advocate living some hermit-type lifestyle, I always cringe because it’s just not sustainable for 99% of people. With that said, I off er up below fi ve excellent memberships that will save you money and make your life easier.

AAA – (Basic Membership - $68/yr.) Whether it’s discounts on travel or auto

and home insurance, AAA is well worth it, provided you take advantage of what’s off ered. For me personally, I view my AAA membership as piece of mind. I know if my wife gets a fl at tire somewhere and I’m not available, AAA will take care of the problem. For $68 a year, peace of mind is cheap.

Costco - (Personal Membership - $55/yr.) With three locations in the Valley

Five memberships worth havingSave money and have peace of mind. What could be better? B Y K E N G A R D N E R

(Albany, Salem, Wilsonville), Costco off ers up a great value to consumers. For families, Costco is a no-brainer with their deep discounts on food, clothing and household items. For singles or couples without kids, Costco is a little trickier, but value can still be had by sharing a membership with other family members or friends.

Flickr – (Free) If you’re anything like me, your pictures

are very important to you. Th e last thing you would want is to lose all those precious memories via an accidental push of the delete key or, God forbid, something like a natural disaster. Enter Flickr and their 1 terabyte of storage. Th at’s equal to roughly 500,000 pictures at a relatively high quality. While

there may be other services that do more, nobody beats that much storage for free.

AARP – ($16/yr.) For those 50 years old and up, AARP membership provides a plethora of discounts and access to their award winning magazine. While there is some overlap between AAA and AARP, the value AARP provides at just $16 per year is worth the extra cost. With lots of resources on topic likes healthcare and fi nancial planning, AARP is one of the best memberships money can buy.

Pandora - ($36/yr.) For digital music streaming, there are lots of options. Th at said, the biggest player in this space is still Pandora. With apps

available on all the major smartphone platforms (iOS, Android, Windows Phone), along with a solid desktop experience, Pandora is a top-notch service, save for one thing, ads. With the Pandora One service a great experience is made complete. For only $3 per month (with the yearly subscription option), you get the ads stripped out and unlimited skips to the next song. All of this is added on top of Pandora’s very deep library to create probably the best bang for your buck value in music streaming.

Perfect pumpkin pancakes

E A T

W hen I was a child, my family shared meals at the kitchen table, and we often lingered

together over a hot breakfast. We lingered because there were four of us kids but only three pancakes came off the griddle at once, so we had to wait our turn for more to eat our fi ll. While we waited, we talked about a book we had read, about our home-school plans for the morning, or which chores needed to be done in the afternoon. Pancakes brought us together.

Th is recipe has an unknown origin, but since cookbooks haven’t called vegetable oil “salad oil” since the 1970s, I know this gem, hand-written on a scrap of paper, is an heirloom of sorts. I often requested my mom make these pumpkin pancakes; they have always been a favorite, and they fi lled the house with the best and coziest aromas. Th ese thick pancakes are substantial yet light, fl uff y and tender, with rich pumpkin fl avor and hints of pumpkin-pie spices. Th ey are not very sweet, making a douse of butter and maple syrup a perfect complement. Medium or low heat on the stove is essential to give these voluminous pancakes time to cook through before overbrowning. Take your time – cooking pancakes brings people together to linger.

Warm up your fall mornings with this light and fl uffy pancake recipe S T O R Y A N D P H O T O B Y S O P H I E H A W L E Y

Pumpkin PancakesMakes about 14 four-inch pancakes

2 cups all-purpose fl our

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon grated or ground nutmeg

1 3/4 cups milk (whole, skim, almond, rice or your preference)

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned, or fl esh of a roasted squash or sweet potato)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 eggs

In a large bowl, whisk together the fi rst seven ingredients.

In another bowl, combine milk with pumpkin, oil and eggs, and beat well. (I like to use a 4-cup glass measuring cup for this step – measure and mix in one step to save dishes!) Add the wet ingredients to the dry and fold together to combine. Th e batter should be thick with some lumps remaining. Be careful not to overmix as minimal handling will produce the fl uffi est, most tender pancakes. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil if needed, or use a non-stick pan. Ladle 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake, leaving plenty of room for them to rise and spread while cooking. Cook until tops begin to show air bubbles. Flip and cook until golden brown. Serve hot.

We lingered because there were four of us kids but only three pancakes came off the griddle at once, so we had to wait our turn for more to eat our fill.
