Bet you didn’t know this: Rose-burg has its very own SantaClaus. He crafts away in theworkshop, gets together with

Rudolf, the Snowman, Humpty Dumpty,Sponge Bob, the Grinch and Big Bird, andhe brings smiles and laughter to childrenall over. He goes by the name of JimZurcher.

This upcoming holiday season will beZurcher’s 22nd year of adorning his homefrom yard to roof with his monstrous,homemade animated figures. First comesComet, then comes Cupid, then Rudolf,then the 7-foot-high snowman, then aspringing jack-in-the-box, then a fallingHumpty Dumpty following Big Bird,Hickory Dickory Dock and a wavingSponge Bob. Children can even get asneak peak of Santa’s elves working franti-cally at the North Pole Shipping Depart-ment, while Santa seems to be stuck in thechimney.

“We’re Christmas people,” says Zurcherreferring to himself and his wife, Pat, whopassed away earlier this year. What startedas a small challenge from his wife to be

creative and make some decorations forthe yard turned into a well-known Rose-burg tradition for many families.

Year one of Zurcher’s home display fea-tured his first creation, Santa’s deer andRudolf. Now, Zurcher has nearly 12 hugemoving characters.

“It is different than these light-up dis-plays you go to,” says Zurcher.

His spirited show features fully animat-ed, neatly crafted, moving and lit-upfriends of Santa’s.

“And the best part is it’s free!” Zurcherchuckles.

The 81-year-old says he gets inspired bya new children’s trend, such as SpongeBob, or just by visualizing certain materi-als that kind of look like Humpty Dumpty.The falling egg was brought to life afterZurcher took plastic barrels, brackets, gearheads and two motors to his workshop.

Now children and their parents parktheir cars and gather in front of theZurcher home in Hucrest to see HumptyDumpty make his infamous fall, as well asto see all their other yearly favorites.

Aromas make the holiday seasonspecial with smells of spices,warm pumpkin pies, juicyturkeys and ham, and fresh, but-

tered rolls. Home holiday cooking is notonly what families look forward to eatingduring this time of year, but also whatmany look forward to preparing.

Here are a few local award winning andwell-recognized cooks and their hit-the-spot holiday recipes.

Karene Biedermann — Aromatica’sFeast Bakery Chef and Owner

Specializing in sugar-free treats and tra-ditional foods, the Aromatica’s Feast Bak-ery in Roseburg is serving up a healthierapproach to the holidays. Aromatica’sFeast has been catering meals fromMediterranean to Asian and American toFrench for the past 16 years. In earlyNovember, the bakery started offeringsugar-free baked goods with recipes thathad been worked on since July.

Biedermann says she tried to find thesecret in sugar-free, but when she inquiredat other bakeries, they wanted enormous

amounts of money to reveal their secrets.After speaking with her diabetic cousin,

she was informed of xylitol, which is asugar alcohol that is found naturally in

fruits and vegetables. Xylitol is a naturalinsulin stabilizer, and therefore doesn’tspike a person’s blood sugar, and the FDA-approved food additive has no toxins.

Biedermann started doing her research.“You have to be a chemist now,” she saysof modern-day baking. Soon after, Bieder-mann played around with erythritol, a nat-ural sugar alternative, and Ace K, a high-intensity, non-calorie sweetener. With theblend of those three, Biedermann startedproducing an assortment of cookies, Russ-ian tea cakes, bars, cheesecakes, eclairs,apple tortes, Baklavas, cream puffs andtortes all in sugar-free.

While sugar-free doesn’t mean calorie-free, it does however have fewer caloriesand carbohydrates per serving. Bieder-mann says she is working on fat-free next.

“I think we are doing a good job,” shesays. “Everyone likes our food, and wework hard at doing the right thing, andbeing there for people.”

Christine Morgan — Roseburg Christine Morgan has the winning

advice for getting that job you’ve alwayswanted: be a good cook. Morgan got her

job as the department technician in theRoseburg Planning Department after shesays she consistently brought in home-made baked goods to the staff. “He hiredme full time because I was a goodcook!” Morgan says of her former boss.

After 16 years with the city of Rose-burg, Morgan still loves to bake for an

audience. In additionto baking for her staff,Morgan has a pie-lov-ing husband at home,two children and fourgrandchildren. Shesays she is also the“official cook” at thefamily reunions.

“I love cooking forChristmas and allother holidays, and forfamily gatherings,”she says.

Morgan points out her must holidayfoods are chocolate sheet cake, cheese-cake, Jeff Davis pie and Angel Wing bis-cuits.

Defining a holiday meal as “love,”Morgan says she’s always liked makingthe ones she loves happy with food. Shesaid her husband, Steve, is very support-ive of her experimental cooking, but hethrives for pie. “If a crust is wrappedaround it, he’ll eat it,” she says.

A favorite of Steve and a recipe hand-ed down from her mother is Morgan’sfamous Jeff Davis pie.

“My mother made this pie when I wasgrowing up and I’ve made it now formore than 35 years.”

With Morgan’s mother being a Texan,she discovered this popular Texas-basedpie, which originated from JeffersonDavis, president of the Confederacy. Thepie was used to silence the soldiers.Now, let’s see if it silences you.

Jeff Davis Pie One 9-inch uncooked pie shell (chilled)

The Christmas spirit shines bright-ly at the Shelton home alongsideHighway 38 between Drain andElkton.

The dark and dreariness of that ruralroad during the winter months is quicklytransformed after coming around a curvefrom either direction and seeing a glowjust ahead.

The glow? It’s the result of thousands ofChristmas lights, hanging on and aroundthe Shelton residence. The light display isalmost a 20-year tradition for the family.

“I just love the spirit of Christmas, thefun of it,” said Lynn Shelton, the wife andmother of the family of seven. “I loveChristmas, seeing all the lights, spendingtime with family and friends.”

She hopes that “the Christmas spiritflows” when drivers see the lights.

“It’s a warm and fuzzy feeling,” saidhusband Chris of brightening up the holi-day season with lights. “It’s too bad wecan’t have Christmas all year long. I’d justleave them (lights) up.”

Red, yellow, green, blue, orange, white— every color is well represented in thelighting display. Lynn, with some help andadvice from family members, is the mas-termind behind the Christmas creation.

There are lights on the front woodenfence that parallels the highway for a cou-ple hundred feet. Lights also adorn 15trees and bushes in the front and sideyards and along the driveway that leads upthe slight slope. Some of the trees stand15 feet tall.

In the middle of the light display is the

Shelton’s two-story house. Lights twinkleand shine from every corner, eave, win-dow frame and door frame of the house,its deck and also Chris’ adjoining work-shop, which this year features a disco ball.On the side of the house facing the drive-way a light sign proclaims, “Merry Christ-mas.”

“We just do lights,” Lynn said. “Wedon’t do Santas and reindeer, we don’t doblow-up stuff.”

“Everybody’s always eager for us to getthe lights up around here, but it’s not areal quick thing to do,” she said. “Peoplealways seem to be waiting for them to goup and if we don’t get them up soonenough, they keep bugging us to do it.”

While Lynn does the bulk of the lighthanging now, Chris started the traditionafter the couple moved to their rural homein 1990 from El Paso, Texas.

“When we first got here I just felt likedoing lights,” said Chris, admitting thatmaybe part of the reason was because hemissed the sun, a source of brightness thatwas usually present in El Paso, where hegrew up.

Chris liked putting the lights up, butdidn’t like taking them down after the hol-idays. So after taking the lights down dur-ing the first few years and storing them,Lynn gradually took over putting them upas well.

“I just have fun with it … whatever sortof strikes me I do,” she said of her designstrategy.

Through the years, she’s gotten sugges-tions on how and where to put the lightsand help from the couple’s five kids:Heath, now 25, Kahlea, 22, Molly, 17, and13-year-old twins Abby and Roxanne.

Lynn uses timers to turn the lights onand off. At first she leaves them on until11 p.m., and as the holidays draw closer,she sets them to turn on at 4 a.m. for thetruckers driving past. She’ll leave them on

longer for Christmas Eve, Christmas Dayand New Year’s Day.

The lights give Highway 38 a cheerfulglow.

Ifirst arrived in Roseburg for a week-end stay with three suitcases, highheels and my “rat” dog. It was justas I imagined: gorgeous fields,

sweeping vineyards, towering oak trees,and crisp rivers. I then pulled up to myfour-star double-wide, equipped withcows, guns and a selection of hangingantlers.

Within a few hours I found out thatstilettos are not the proper choice formuddy grass, that perfume does attractbugs, and that I might need a new cellphone plan because it seems everywhereI go, I get one bar.

Oh, what people do when they are inlove. Yes, I met the man of my dreams —plaid, suspenders and all — and jour-neyed down to the country. It seems I amliving the real “Green Acres.”

I was born in Portland, and have livedin New York City and San Francisco. Myweeks are usually filled up with fashionshows, hotel openings and movie pre-miers. I am also a University of Oregongraduate, which means a Duck fan —something that is also not a popular

choice down here. I just can’t win. After marrying my logger husband, I

made the official move to Roseburg. Myhusband was constantly asked, “How’s

the city girl doing?” His co-workers andbuddies thrived for a good laugh on myquest to find the retail stores, discoveringit is normal to carry a rifle in your pick-

up, and how I learned that the fall is notfor fashion week — but hunting season.

I’d only been in Roseburg for fivemonths, and that celebrated “H” wordstarted sputtering off everyone’s lips. No,not “holiday”, but “hunting.” Hunting iscomparative to Nordstrom’s AnniversarySale— you wait all year for it, you com-pare with friends and strangers what youfound, and you are very particular aboutwho you go with. That being said, Icouldn’t believe my husband wanted meto go hunting at Steens Mountain withhim to kick off the “holiday” season. Isure had a lot to prove, therefore, I had togo.

The festivities began with s’mores, hotchocolate and snow. However, it was 15degrees and I was in a tent. I’ve gonecamping a lot before, but this was differ-ent. We were in almost complete soli-tude, and I even made my husband parkus on an actual campground. I figured Ishould be near people in case some ani-mal attacked.

The first two nights were cozy with acrackling fire, fresh snow, and warmcomfort food. During the day I walked

around camp in my UGG boots, fur-covered parka, and with my rat dog. Ididn’t even fit in hunting. I supposenext year I’ll research my husband’sCabela’s catalog forsome girly camoattire.

After the jug ofCarlo Rossi ran outand I finished mybook, I went fromdreading the thoughtof my husband killingsomething to begginghe would kill some-thing. Eventually, hesaid I had “passed thetest” and we could gohome.

Ahh, home, and I did it. I completedthe long, cold week of hunting — andit wasn’t that bad!

I told my husband that I now knowwhat to bring for next year (giving awink that hopefully I’ll come downwith a cold and can’t go). I just could-

n’t wait to get back to town, but didfeel bad my husband didn’t kill any-thing.

He then chuckled and said not toworry, “We’ll go elk hunting here in afew weeks.”

“What?” “There is elk hunting,too?” Sigh.

It seems I still have a lot to learnabout how the holidays are spent downhere.

strenuous for about anyone, Zurcher putsout and takes down the display every nightfor the month of December.

“It is quite an undertaking. But I workhard, and people can just trash it,” saysZurcher, referring to the holiday vandalismthat strikes the community every year.

But it is all worth it for Zurcher, also ahospital volunteer, who just wants to givehappiness to the children.

“It’s fun, and the enjoyment I get out ofit is seeing the little kids and the laugh-ing,” Zurcher says with a smile.

Zurcher explains his wife was quite aspirit of Christmas as well.

“She would take the less fortunate tohigh tea in Eugene,” he says of Pat.

After losing his wife in April, he wasstruck again when he lost his daughtershortly after. Both died of lung cancer.

“Right now, my wife would have hadtwo weeks’ head start,” says Zurcher ofPat’s holiday decorating.

This year, Zurcher plans to begin hisholiday display on Dec. 4 and run it untilChristmas Day. He says he usually brings

out his festive family around 5:15 p.m. andtakes it down when the crowds easebetween 9 and 9:30 p.m.

Zurcher couldn’t believe in only his sec-ond year with three items, he had two bus-loads from Eugene pile down his street. Hesays the usual crowd is eight to 12 adultsand kids, screaming and laughing, standingin front of the house. Some are new view-ers; some are the regulars.

“The kids don’t care that it is amateur —they just want to see them there,” he saysof his creations. Zurcher even recalls oneyear when Rudolf broke, so he put himaway, but then he got a knock on his door.

“Where is Rudolf?” a disappointedchild asked Zurcher.

He explained to the child that he wasgetting fixed, but he rushed back to hisshop, dusted him off, put a bulb in his noseand brought him out. The child’s face litup.

Zurcher is a perfect example of what theholiday season is about: joy, giving, andspirit. He is Roseburg’s own Santa Claus.

To visit the display, Zurcher’s home islocated at 1825 N.W. Oerding Ave., westof Keasey Street and south of Garden Val-ley Boulevard in Roseburg.
