New. Inspired. Vintage. Artful. At NIVA, the name says it all
I
If you’ve spent any time in Long Beach, Washington, you’ve likely strolled once or twice through its unmistakeable retail sweet spot — that half-mile stretch between Sid Snyder Drive and Bolstad Avenue that’s constantly awash in a Àurry of colorful T-shirts, kites and souvenirs. But sometimes in life (as well as in shopping), it pays to move beyond the obvious — and that’s certainly the case at NIVA, a marvelously charming little gift shop full of big-time bohemian whimsy, located just past the regular downtown core. You wouldn’t think that 60 feet would matter all that much, but according to Heather Ramsay, owner and in-shop artist, life on her side of the crosswalk can be considerably quiet. “It’s just not on most people’s radar to take those last few steps,” she says, offering a laugh you can tell comes easy and often. “They stop at the light on Bolstad and go no further.” For any average shopkeeper, such a fact might mean disaster, but for Ramsay, a successful, life-long working crafter who embarked upon this latest project four years ago, existing outside the limits seems to suit her just ¿ne. “I’ve found it’s good that I’m a little off the beaten track, or I wouldn’t have any studio time at all,” she says. “But also, I think having a shop is something like being a hostess at a party; when it’s really busy, I feel I can’t pay proper attention to my guests, and I take that to heart. When you come here, even if you’re not here to buy something, I want you to have a fun time.” She really shouldn’t worry;
In her talented hands, vintage items are transformed to lead new lives as once-again useful tools and accessories. 4 | July 2, 2015 | coastweekend.com
within these walls, if there’s one thing that’s clear, it’s that fun is in steep supply. Self described as a “modern curiosity shop of interesting and useful things,” NIVA is a world all its own, blanketed with fascinating objects and small gifts that all lean on the side of the pleasantly eclectic. Most are handcrafted by local artists (about one-third of the shop’s wares are made by Ramsay herself, in the working studio behind the storefront), and the rest combine to create a mélange of, as one sign reads, “old and new, together at last,” an idea that may well be one of Ramsay’s personal mantras. In her talented hands, vintage items are transformed to lead new lives as once-again useful tools and accessories: Discarded golf clubs are fashioned with antique doorknob ¿nials to become elegant walking sticks; colorful old tin cans are spruced with fanciful beads and freshly-tuned parts to reemerge as lovely lamps; a classic silver creamer becomes the perfect tiny planter, replete with a living succulent that practically begs to grace your windowsill. “One of the things I wanted to do here, mixing old and new, was to suggest that it’s environmentally friendly to rethink old stuff,” Ramsay says. “When you’ve been making things your whole life, using new materials for so many years, you begin to feel the weight of what you’re putting out in the world, what kind of impact that has. So now, I’m constantly remaking things. I pretty much use my mental energy thinking about how to repurpose and reinvent.” The result is a multi-layered landscape where the past is allowed to live in harmony with the present — a magni¿cent place, and one that feels almost bewitching. “I do think there’s a bit of magic in some things as opposed to others,” says Ramsay. “For me, a really successful object has the potential to spark the imagination. Maybe it’s an ability to give

someone an idea, or just to make them smile and think, ‘Oh aren’t humans clever animals, that somebody thought of that.’ Or maybe it’s a conversation piece. If someone engages with another person over an object and I’ve contributed to that, well, that’s de¿nitely what I’m after. That’s what turns my lights on. That’s what makes me happy.” And it will make you happy too. Whether you’re dipping into her well of replacement Scrabble tiles, picking out just the right card for just the right occasion, or in search of a fantastic birthday present that will only set you back a few bucks (look to the salmon-shaped wine opener), a stop at NIVA’s is a win-win-win: always uplifting, usually fruitful, and de¿nitely worth the few extra steps it took to get you there.
New leather-bound journals and gently used books line shelves at NIVA green.
NIVA is located at 104 Pacific Highway, near the Bolstad beach approach, in the heart of Long Beach, Washington.

ASTORIA — Astoria is one of the whiter communities in the United States. One hundred years ago, the Ku Klux Klan was prominent in the area. Today, the Klan no longer operates in Astoria, but discrimination still exists in U.S. Believing in equal rights, equal justice and equal respect for all, the Lower Columbia Diversity Project and other community organizations invite the public to join in a rally at 1p.m. Sunday, July 5.

Then, rally participants will demonstrate their commitment with a march through the downtown area. For more information, contact Drew Herzig at drewherzig@yahoo.com or 503-325-1895.
Behind the scenes: Coaster doubles the effort for two summer plays
O
Only two weeks before opening night for the summer season, the Coaster Theatre Playhouse is abuzz with activity. Summer is different at the Coaster than other times of the year because two plays are performed at the same time. This year, “It Could Be Any One of Us,” a British comedy murder mystery, opened June 12 and will run until Sept. 5. ”Little Shop of Horrors,” a musical, opened June 19 and closes Sept. 6. While behind-the-scenes activity goes on all year at the small theater, which is staging seven shows in 2015, the summer season is subtly frantic. Rehearsals for both shows began in March, and with just two weeks to go before opening night, the directors, actors and set and light designers fine-tuned each play. During an evening rehearsal for “Little Shop of Horrors,” director Patrick Lathrop (who also is the Coaster’s executive director), worked with two actors to perfect a tricky tango while the three women in the “girls group” harmonized on a song. “Little Shop of Horrors” is about a blood-loving plant named Audrey 2 and the love story of a nerd, Seymour, and a tawdry girl, Audrey, who work in a Skid Row florist’s shop. The nine cast members live in Cannon Beach or Seaside and work in other jobs during the day. Some have formal eduction in theater; all of them have acted in past productions. Before opening night arrived, numerous details had to be sorted out. It’s not
enough to nail the dialogue, the songs and the dances. During this rehearsal, Lathrop went over his notes: How should the actor playing a bum lean against a trash can? Who will close the curtain after act one? Are all the props ready to go, and how do the costumes fit? “The thing we have to consider for summer is the length of the run,” Lathrop said. “The costumes and props have to last throughout the play.” The actors — all volunteers — also must be committed to a long run, but Lathrop has worked with them in other plays over the past several years and isn’t concerned. “They’re very passionate about what they do,” he said. They also must be flexible. With two plays being produced at the same time and other events taking up theater space, the directors alternate their rehearsals in the theater or, when they can’t use the stage, they go elsewhere — on the second floor of the U.S. Bank Building or at Tolovana Hall or even in a small apartment behind the theater known affectionately as the “Buddha.” At only 10 days to go before “One of Us” opened, the six cast members had pegged their characters and their British accents. They were “off book”; they knew their lines and didn’t need their scripts. It was time for the play’s director, Ryan Hull, to tweak the small stuff: He assigned an actor to create the “crash” behind the curtain before another actor screamed. He reminded everyone to pronounce their words clearly. He changed
‘They’re very passionate about what they do.’

Krista Guenther paints the set of “It Could Be Any One Of Us.” Guenther was involved in designing both stage sets for the two plays running this summer at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse. “It Could be One of” takes place in a Victorian mansion in rural England while “Little Shop of Horrors” occurs in 1950s New York Skid Row florist’s shop.
the way one character entered a scene. But even that close to opening night, Hull still encouraged the actors to take chances by experimenting with their characters’ personalities. “I still like seeing people trying new things,” Hull said. “We’re still working through things and seeing how they look.” The directors and actors weren’t the only people on a timetable. After consulting with Lathrop and Hull, lighting designer Mick Alderman set the lights for both productions and programmed the light cues on the theater’s light board in the control booth. Two or three volunteers work the lights and sound all summer. Meanwhile, Krista Guenther also did double duty by helping to design and build the stage sets for both plays. Her challenge: Build a set that could act as a backdrop for 1950s New York Skid Row one night and become the drawing room of a Victorian mansion in rural England the next night. With rehearsals at the theater nearly every night for three months, Guenther had to work when the actors weren’t on stage. She would come in midmorning, clean up at 4:45 p.m., then return at 9:30 p.m. and work until midnight. “I like working at night,” she said. Before she started with the Coaster late last year, Guenther said she had no idea how much work went into each production. “There are so many talented people who can do so many things,” she said. “It’s definitely community theater, where everybody does everything.”
Seymour Krelborn, played by Todd Payne, urges a plant he has named Audrey 2 to bloom during a rehearsal of “Little Shop of Horrors.” All his blood, toil and trouble brings Seymour success... at a price.
A chorus, much like the ‘girls groups’ of the 1950s, moves the story along in “Little Shop of Horrors.” They are, from left, Aly Hanson playing Chiffon; Amanda Payne, who is Ronnette; and Cindy Karr as Crystal.
Ryan Hull, director of “It Could Be Any One Of Us,” gives a few notes following a rehearsal. Hull records his notes on his phone, then plays them back. With him is Gretchen Koekstre, who plays “Amy Polegate,” the daughter, in the play.

Jander, a Seattle artist, paints rich landscapes with bold colors, expressive brushstrokes and layered textures. Rude, raised in California’s San Fernando Valley, takes the relaxation and beauty of the beach and seeks to create paintings that make people feel happy or capture a breathtaking moment in time. ”Trained as a classical ballet dancer, the need to be creative has always been a part of me,” she said. Live music and complimentary wine tasting will be provided.

“Seaside Geraniums” by Paul Brent at Fairweather House and Gallery.
Doni opened July 1 in the downtown Gilbert District’s Wheatley-Desler Building. After working as an accountant for 30 years, gallery owner Kathy Kathman felt it was time for a change. “I mean, I’ve run everybody else’s business. Why not run my own?” she said. “Now I can focus on using the other half of my brain. The creativity has always been there. You get to a point where you’ve got to be true to yourself.” A resident of Seaside for only five weeks, Kathman is jumping headfirst into being an entrepreneur. Vetrata Doni, which means “stained glass gifts” in Italian, features stained glass by Kathman and blown glass ornaments and sea
creatures by Opal Art Glass of Cosmopolis, Washington. Kathman will teach beginning and intermediate stained glass classes at the gallery/studio this summer; for more information, visit www. vetratadoni.com. Visitors might note the stained-glass top of the checkout counter, created by student Michael Swygert, which depicts the Seaside ocean and Promenade. Kathman sources her glass from Bulls Eye Glass Studio of Portland and Spectrum Glass Co. of Woodinville, Washington, which both manufacture their own glass. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

Local entrepreneurs Tiffany and Brady Turner open their new Ashore Hotel in Seaside this July, expanding their North Coast hotelier brand of sustainability, community and authenticity Story by CATE GABLE

T
Tiffany and Brady Turner, both raised on the Long Beach Peninsula, always knew they “wanted to come back home” after graduating from Ilwaco High School and leaving the area for their college educations. They had met in junior high, and, as Tiffany tells it, “we knew we were compatible, but we wanted to broaden our horizons.” So they went their separate ways, which nonetheless brought them both to Seattle University where Brady earned a business degree and Tiffany a degree in education. They eventually reconnected and married. Now they’re back on the peninsula, raising a family and creating a new kind of North Coast hotel experience. They’re about to open the 22-room Ashore Hotel, in the location of the old Sundowner Motor Inn, in downtown Seaside. But let’s back-track for a moment.
newed Hotel, and Vacation Idea Magazine’s Best 5omantic *etaways for :ashington. After these proof-of-concept successes with Adrift, Tiffany and Brady began to consider how to grow their business and discovered that the Sundowner Motor Inn in Seaside might be available for purchase. Operations and Marketing Director Linh DePledge describes their hotelry brand as “authentic, unexpected, fun and sustainable.” The Adrift team creates hotels unique to each destination. :hat

does that mean in real terms? That every aspect of the facility, amenities and staff are all about “local.” “At the Adrift we created a scavenger hunt for our guests to help them experience the hidden treasure of the peninsula,” says C(O Tiffany. “:e want to encourage our guests to get off the beaten path. Our customers like to get outside and explore.” C(O by the way, as Tiffany explains, really means Chief (mpowerment Of¿ce and she says of Brady who is Chief Business Development Of¿cer for their S-Corporation, “Chief Development Of¿cer doesn’t really do Brady justice. He is brilliant he is the creator of the Adrift hip/coolness. “Brady is the visionary introvert, and I’m the extrovert. :e make a great team,” she says. The core business team behind the Ashore and
Adrift Hotels, Inc., includes 5ebecca Charles, food and beverage director and Lisa Bonati, hotel manager. The fruits of this young inspired group are apparent everywhere. The hotel lobby at Adrift, which will remain the hub of business operations for the new Ashore Hotel, has a community bulletin board with activities and announcements. The coffee pot is always full. There are kids putting a puzzle together in one corner, and in another corner a hotel customer is chatting with a friend, a dog in her lap. The decor is rustic and comfortable — it’s all about relaxing at the beach. “:e don’t discriminate when it comes to pets,” says Tiffany, “:e’ve had dogs, cats, once we even had a pot-belly pig. I think her name was Princess.”
Opportunity happens
It terms of the Turner’s strategic process, Tiffany says, “I like to say we’re ‘accidental entrepreneurs.’ :e really had no de¿nite plan for business growth, but opportunity happens, and we just stepped up to take advantage of it. If anything, we were more tinkering with our concept before, but now, we’re concentrating more on planning our growth. For instance, we’ve added another layer of management to our staff. I knew that I couldn’t continue to supervise eight other managers by myself after we open Ashore.” Adrift employs 75 people, including the management team, restaurant and cleaning staff. Ashore will employ an additional six people. This energized employment engine has positively impacted other areas of the community as well. Vendors and product purveyors include Starvation Alley Cranberries and Farmer Fred -ohnson’s Homegrown produce micro breweries like North -etty, Fort *eorge and :ishkah 5iver. Adrift uses Columbia 5iver Coffee
Beachy days
The Turners’ ¿rst venture into this business niche was the 2004 development of the Inn at Discovery Coast, a 12-room boutique hotel in Long Beach with ocean views. Off of the Inn’s success, in 2011 the couple purchased (and turned around) an 80-room hotel, now the Adrift Hotel and Spa with its top-Àoor Pickled Fish restaurant in Long Beach. The Adrift has gone on to win the TripAdviser Certi¿cate of (xcellence, .ing News Northwest (scape Award for Best 5e-

5oasters, and Ashore will brew Sleepy Monk coffee. As 5ebecca Charles says, “The priority is always to look for local products and service providers ¿rst.” Because Ashore is a smaller establishment, there won’t be a full-blown restaurant. But Tiffany says, “:e will have an 18-seat eatery with wine and beer on tap and local snack-type food. (very room in the hotel has a ¿replace, and the rooms are more colorful to make them distinct to Seaside. There’s a saline soaking pool and an outdoor ¿repit. The community space is always important to us, so we’ve had to get creative with Ashore because the space is smaller.” In keeping with their creative approach, the Turners engaged a professional photographer and good friend to assist with the unique decor at Ashore. *iles Clement drove up and down the coast and photographed scenes and people from 22 beach towns. So every one of the 22 rooms in Ashore has a different and distinct set of photographs documenting the coast. (You can get a glimpse of these images at Clement’s website and the 22-faces Project: www. gilesclement.com/22-faces) This is the kind of attention to detail and artistry the Adrift business team is known for.
People matter
Anyone who attempts to run a business on the North Coast is all too familiar with the cycle of boom and bust. Summertime is when local businesses are bursting at the seams with tourists, and the weekends of festivals and special events keep everyone busy. But the winter months can mean a long lean period of hibernation. One of the challenges the Adrift team took on was how to make their establishments economically viable throughout the winter. They brought in local musicians to the Pickled Fish. (There is live music every night.) They introduced smart and more aggressive marketing strategies, like online *roupon specials, to keep the hotel reasonably full over the winter. That meant that staff could be engaged full-time all year ‘round and that the hotel did not experience the dramatic business drop-off in the winter. It worked. Consequently, Adrift has a very low turnover rate for staff, which cuts down on training and recruiting expenses. The business concept at Adrift, and now Ashore, focuses both on people and the environment. “:e pay a lot of attention to environmental and social impact, and we try to be transparent to our guests and our staff, so that drives our strong feelings,” Tiffany says. The sustainable and family values that Tiffany and Brady put at the center of their business are apparent everywhere — in the materials used for their decor, in the commitment and attitude of the staff, and the focus on local products and experiences. “:e’ve tried to ¿gure out how to run a large hotel where people matter,” says Tiffany. “*uests matter, staff matters, the environment matters. :e really believe that we can build a better world through our business, doing what’s good and right.” The Ashore Hotel of¿cially opened -uly 1. The public is invited to stop by and see what all the buzz is about.

Summer Art Camp classes have openings Teens, adults can create art in Cannon Beach this summer CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Arts Association Summer Art Camp will be underway July 13 to 17 at the Cannon Beach Community Church, located at 132 E. Washington St. Two fullweek classes for teens and adults still have openings for students. Susan Simon will lead “Beautiful Surfaces” to teach encaustic painting, a technique that uses melted wax to create texture. Students will use a blowtorch or heat gun to build layers of wax for their painted creations. Students will also paint on plexi-
glass, make mono-prints, construct 3D art work and use cold wax. Students in “Beautiful Surfaces” produce a remarkable quality of work while having lots of fun with experimentation. Also for ages 13 to adult is the “Weaving with our Senses” class. Weaving is considered to EH WKH ¿UVW H[DPSOH RI FUDIW XVHG cross-culturally by humans. Students will explore natural and found objects, fabric and yarn to express emotion with weaving techniques. “Beautiful Surfaces and
“Weaving with out Senses” run from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday, July 13 to 17. For students looking for a shorter-term commitment, several three-day workshops are offered beginning Wednesday, July 15. Printmaker Sarah Lippold will teach “Printmaking and Printing Press Basics” using her own printing press. Students ages 9 to adult may participate in this morning session class that runs from 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday through Friday.
Several choices exist for the afternoon session, including “World Art Adventure” with Dorota Haber-Lehigh. Students will study images of art from around the world as well as analyze ancient symbols and alphabets. These will be combined to inspire three art projects: a drawing, a painting and a collage. Meanwhile, Portland Monthly blogger Sarah Ostaszewski will take ages 12 to adult on a UDQJH RI ¿HOG WULSV WR H[DPLQH “Form and Color in the Landscape.” Students will work with charcoal, graphite and pigment to create form and value through drawing. Another visiting teacher from
Portland, Sam Loper, will take students outside to harness the power of UV light while learning one of the oldest photographic printing processes. Students will make prints out of everything from drawings to leaves and print on everything from paper to canvas. These three workshops run from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Brochures and registration forms may be found online at www.cannonbeacharts.org or at the Cannon Beach Gallery, located at 1064 S. Hemlock St. For more information, contact Mary Bess Gloria at 971-219-9413 or marybess8@gmail.com

70 Help Wanted Reporter Make a splash in business journalism by joining the reporting staff of the ambitious Coast River Business Journal, located where the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean meet. This is a highly dynamic and story-filled place, where Portlanders and Seattleites come to make their dreams of coastal living come true. You should arrive here with polished writing skills, a strong work ethic and robust curiosity to delve into the professional lives of some of the Pacific Northwestʼs most creative and imaginative business people. Working in partnership with colleagues at the Chinook Observer, The Daily Astorian, Seaside Signal and Cannon Beach Gazette, Coast River Business Journal produces a monthly print publication. With your geographical beat spanning Clatsop County, Ore., and Pacific County, Wash., you can choose to live on the Long Beach Peninsula, Astoria or Oregonʼs North Coast. While this position is managed from Long Beach, you will also sometimes work from our Astoria and Seaside offices. An important aspect of this job is providing business coverage to several publications, each with a different environment. There will be aspects of breaking business news, in-depth business reporting and “main street” business news. Part of your job will be to continue ramping up our online content for timely and expansive coverage of business news. Healthcare is one of our regionʼs rapidly expanding economic sectors and we want to hear your ideas about how to cover it in ways that are useful to those in the caring professions, as well as engaging for the community members they serve. We have a rising tide of young and second-career entrepreneurs starting new craft breweries, restaurants, retail stores, galleries and online businesses. You will need to be as engaged and creative as they are. Our traditional industries — tourism to forestry, seafood to homes sales/construction, farming of everything from organic vegetables to legal marijuana — all are wide awake and gaining renewed momentum in a fastexpanding regional economy. Weʼll expect you to dig well beyond the superficial and explain where these industries are going, and why. Our coast is comfortable and still affordable. It's a place where our reporters and their families purchase homes and settle in for careers that are richly connected to the Northwest interior. Part of your job will be exploring and explaining the growing ties between our coast and the cities of Puget Sound and northwest Oregon. We offer a competitive wage, a generous benefit package, and a warm and friendly office environment in Mac-based buildings. We work hard but have fun — the ocean beach is a short stroll from our Long Beach and Seaside offices. We enjoy world-class restaurants, fantastic salmon and deep-sea fishing, amazing wildlife and bird watching, and many other outdoor activities. Portland is two and a half hours; Seattle three hours. Benefits include Paid Time Off (PTO), insurances and a 401(k)/Roth 401(k) retirement plan.

A salute to local community Celebration features floats, hot dogs, hot rods Story by ANDREW R. TONRY CANNON BEACH — The Fourth of July is a celebration of the American nation writ large. And while observant of the country’s declaring freedom from British rule, Cannon Beach’s Independence Day parade kicks off the holiday with a second salute to local community. “It’s just pure Americana,” said Dan O’Reilly, a retired Navy Master Chief and Commander of Cannon Beach’s American Legion Post 168. “In larger metropolitan areas you don’t see this kind of thing.” “You’ll see streets gather,” O’Reilly added. “Neighborhoods gather. People come from all over. They all sign up and get in the parade. I swear half the spectators are in the parade. It’s a pure outpouring.” Signup to participate in the parade begins at 9 a.m. July 4 at the American Legion, which organizes the event. The parade sets off at 11 a.m. from Monroe and Spruce, then northbound on Spruce through downtown, then back down Hemlock. The march concludes at the Legion, where hot dogs will be waiting. The parade began in 1993 by Bob Teagle who, instead

of lamenting the city’s lack of an Independence Day parade, started his own. At ¿rst it was just Teagle and his wife, marching with Àags in hand. 4uickly, neighbors fell in behind them. “Unfortunately, Bob is no longer with is,” O’Reilly said. “He was a very strong community guy, and this parade is just a total expression of celebration.” Despite Teagle’s passing, the parade continues to grow. This year O’Reilly is expecting more than 75 participants,
including traditional Àoats, ¿re trucks, police cars, hot rods, riders on horseback, kids on bikes, the fabled Jackson Street Chair Clacking Brigade and more. “You’ll see people with bags of taffy throwing them, kids scampering and having fun,” O’Reilly added. “You may see a group of four people to groups of 12 to 20. And then there are people who join
it while it’s going on. It’s just spontaneous. And I think that’s what makes it so doggone interesting. It’s not one of these things that is so rigid.” Over the years, the only thing that seems to have shrunk in relation to the parade is involvement from regional military. “We’ve actually been affected by the lack of congressional action,” O’Reilly said. “In the past we were able to get the Air Guard to do a pass over; there are no monies available for that. With or without active military presence, though, the armed forces will be represented. This year the parade’s Grand Marshal is John “Jack” Kerwin, a former marine and Oregon park ranger. Other members of the Legion will also be on hand. “People who have been in the service are committed to serving,” O’Reilly said. And for the parade, he — along with members of the Legion and the community — know exactly what they want to achieve. “There’s nothing better than seeing the joy on kids’ faces,” O’Reilly said. “I’m not usually at a loss for words, but it’s true. It’s just such an outpouring.”

SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; In the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside, several businesses will promote art through Doing the Gilbert, an event set during regular business hours on Friday, July 3. J. Raeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wines, located at 608 Broadway, will feature artist Tony Gardner. Having studied calligraphy in Japan, Gardner seeks to fuse modern techniques and materials with tradition. He starts by laying down a black calligraphic ideogram, on which he superimposes layers of paint in a grid-like fashion. Beach Books, located at 616 Broadway, will feature works Jim Zaleski, a member of the Green Cab Artist Collective of Portland. Zaleski works in pen and ink, watercolor and oils, often scanning his works into a computer to rework the images in Photoshop. The end result is a hybridized art form, combining traditional art media with computers. His art favors abstraction over realism, gesture over detail and spontaneity over planning. T.

Tapiola >W S L R O@ۑ noun 1. This Finnish, post-war “garden” district was one of the first planned urban communities to sprout up on the European continent in the early 1950s and is now considered the cultural capital of Espoo, a city and municipality in the Helsinki metropolitan region 2. Tapiola park: Located at 900 W. Marine Drive on the south slope overlooking Youngs Bay, this large grassy park houses a playground modeled on Astoria’s famous landmarks among other amenities. Once the home of Astoria’s only outdoor pool, this has since been transitioned into a skate park Origin:
Arrives from Tapio, the Finnish god of the forest, animals and hunting, most notably rendered in the epic, 19th-century Finnish poem the Kalevala, which constructed over 22,000 verses based in
BOOKSHELF
Karelian and Finnish mythology. As this folklore was largely oral prior to the creation of the Kalevala, the first known use of the name is only recorded in 1467, though it is assumed that it existed well before this. Tapiola literally means, “the home of the god of the forest.” The naming of the park in Astoria predates the creation of the Finnish district by about a decade as the park was underway by 1941 and the name of the “garden city” wasn’t chosen until 1953 following a public competition.
By RYAN HUME Just finished
“American Homes” by Ryan Ridge (Illustrations by Jacob Heustis) The University of Michigan Press, 2015
“City Manager George McClean told the commission it would cost $3,626 to complete the unfinished Tapiola park swimming pool as a class C pool. The Astoria Parks association, which has been constructing the pool with donated money, work and material, had asked the city to take it over, complete it and operate. The commission has not indicated what action it will take.” —“Astoria Votes Fire Marshal,” The Sunday Oregonian, May 19, 1942, P. 8 “Tapiola park in Astoria will receive $25,230.80 for improvement and maintenance from the estate of the late Charles Niemi, it was learned as the executors filed their final account in the recorder’s office this week.” —“$25,230 Bequest Left for Park,” The Sunday Oregonian, Oct. 3, 1943, P. 19
the ubiquitous as the extraordinary: “The Attic Door is often considered a portal to the past, an entranceway to a dirtier time and place where memories occur in boxes.” Or, “When American Homes are anthropomorphized in children’s books, Windows are generally depicted as eyes.” Take Away: If forced to find one house that could convey the experience of reading “American Homes,” I would have to choose the Winchester Mystery House, the sprawling mansion of lore built outside San Jose, California. Just like the constant additions Sarah Winchester made to her house throughout her lifetime, Ridge’s book is in a continuous state of architectural flux — narratives emerge and recede, jokes appear and react to one another, historical figures including Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and the ghost of Mark Twain make numerous cameos.
As a satirist and stylist, Ridge is in top form: sentences burst with wordplay and chapters includes lists, Q&As and verse. Divided into three formally different parts, the book is hung together by an internal logic as strong as a house and a reverence for that elusive American Dream. Recommended For: Fans of Richard Brautigan and other structural revisionists; Fourth of July’s bookshelves and beach bags. Bonus: “Hunters & Gamblers,” Ridge’s first story collection, out of print for awhile, was re-released as an e-book by Dzanc Press, which recently merged with Hawthorne Books out of Portland. Other books
“Women of the Silk: A Novel” by Gail Tsukiyama
St. Martin’s Griffin, 1993 Recommended by: Watt Childress of Jupiter Books in Cannon Beach Women authors for men: After having met Tsukiyama when she attended the Get Lit at the Beach festivities in Cannon Beach earlier this year,
Childress searched out the best-selling author’s debut novel that follows Pei through early communist China as she and a friend decide to opt of marriage and devout their lives to silk work. Childress especially recommends this novel (and its sequel “The Language of Threads”) for men. “Particularly other men like me, who don’t read many contemporary women authors,” Childress said. “We can broaden our horizons.”
Plot Notes: “American Homes is a book. American Homes is an idea. American Homes is a book of ideas,” so begins this imaginative (and illustrated) compendium, a poetic and humorous deconstruction of suburban dwellings complete with an index and cross-references. With a sandbox full of U.S. history and mythology dating back to the Revolutionary War, Ridge playfully catalogues the interior and exterior anatomy of the single-family residence, recasting
