Cannon Beach celebrates its 50th Sandcastle Contest with activities all weekend.
Story by ANDREW TONRY • Submitted photos by GARY HAYES
you guys practice ahead of time?’” Tolan explains. “I say: ‘We practice once a year and that’s the day of the sandcastle contest.’ But the fact that we’ve done it for 33 years, that’s a lot of practices.” Over the years, however, the focus of Tolan’s team has shifted: “When we were younger I think we were more concerned about getting the victory than we are now,” he says. “We’re more concerned that we complete our sculpture on time and that it looks good and that the crowd enjoys it.” Tolan won’t say exactly what he’s designing, but he allows that the sculpture will be thematically tied to the contest’s golden anniversary. Others in the masters division – some coming from as far away as Washington and California – won’t be doing site-speci¿c sculptures. “A number of groups will just do the same sculpture each time in that particular season,” says Tolan. “They do Cannon Beach, Long Beach, Lincoln City. It’s a different strategy and a different crowd. I don’t have any problem with that.” Unlike some regional contests, Cannon Beach judges teams throughout – not just on their ¿nal results. Things like teamwork matter. “Some years there are de¿nitely clear winners,” says Tolan. “And other years you’re thinking: Well, this one is just as good as another. It becomes a little more subjective
from the judge’s point of view.” And while Davis’ Paci¿c Power team do hope to take home a trophy, the process itself is their ¿rst reward as well. “Our ¿rst rule is: have fun together,” Davis says. “If you’re not having fun doing this, you shouldn’t be out there. If you’re not getting dirty, you shouldn’t be out there. It’s all about having the fun and creating the sculpture.” Whether other teams – those coming from further away, or with more practiced plans – are so altruistic, however, remains to be seen. “People that are involved in masters sandcastle contests really look to ¿nd events where they can show what they can do,” says Jim Paino, administrative assistant for the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce. “And this being the 50th year, I think that’s just a huge opportunity for them to show their skills and be a part of something that seems really, really special.”
‘The fact that we’ve done it for 33 years, that’s a lot of practices.’
£¤ ¤ £¤ Cannon Beach celebrates 50-year Oregon Heritage Tradition
Attending the inaugural Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest as a young girl, Debbie Nelson remembers the event’s beginnings as rather quaint. “When I was a little girl it was more kids than adults,” says Nelson, who is now the contest’s chairwoman. “Today it is more adults than kids.” In other words: The still whimsical Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest has grown ever more competitive. And this, the 50th anniversary, could be the most heated yet. “This year we have 10 master teams registered,” says Nelson. “That’s more masters than we’ve ever had in the history – all 50 years.” (Registration remained open at press time, and Nelson expected the number of participating master teams to increase.) “Master” sandcastle building teams have a maximum of 10 members. They may use wooden frames in which to pound foundational blocks for their sculptures, which may reach nearly 20 feet tall. The sculptures themselves can contain nothing but water and sand. Teams receive a master distinction after

demonstrated success in lower tiers of judged competitions. One of the master contestants has been practicing its pounding and polishing for the Cannon Beach Contest since the beginning of the year. “We start out right around January and we get together,” says Suzi Davis, whose squad is comprised of co-workers at 3ortland’s 3aci¿c Power. “I ask everybody to bring a content idea. And then we sit around and we narrow those down to a handful from 10 or 12. And then we start working on designs and then break them out.” Davis and her team have been competing together since 2008. They received the “master” nod for Cannon Beach two years ago. They’re committed enough to have installed a practice pit. “Here at the company there’s a garage, and they are gracious enough to allow us to put a load of sand on top of the garage roof,” says Davis. “We usually have about six weekends that we can practice, so we come in on Saturdays and practice our pounding, get our pounding skills back up to speed. Because almost a year will
have gone by.” “We’re never able to do our whole sculpture,” Davis adds. “That’s just way too much sand to bring in. So we do the pieces, and we bring it all together at the competition.” Nonetheless, Davis’ team are relative newcomers. Tim Tolan has led a team in the Cannon Beach Contest for over 30 years. Unlike Davis’ team, Tolan’s doesn’t spend too much time preparing. “We often will be asked: ‘Do You can watch master teams sand sculpt their creations Saturday, June 21 on the beach.

No advance preparation is necessary and the MCT will provide costumes, scenery, props and makeup. The production is an original adaptation based on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland� and “Through the Looking Glass.� The story begins with Alice and her older sister Margaret reading together. Margaret becomes frustrated, as Alice is curious about absolutely everything. Suddenly, a White Rabbit appears from nowhere. After a quick
and nonsensical conversation, Alice follows the rabbit to a strange and wonderful place. In the course of her adventures, Alice meets a band of Flowers, the King and Queen of Hearts, the Knave and the rest of the suit of Cards, a giant Caterpillar, a Fish, a Frog, the Duchess, the Cook, the Cheshire Cat, the Gryphon, the Mock Turtle, a group of singing Lobsters, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter, the Dormouse and Humpty Dumpty. Through it all, Alice grows “curiouser and curiouser� as
to where she is and even who she is. In the end, the answers she seeks are unimportant. Wonderland is all nonsense, anyway. As the White Rabbit explains, “Nonsense is fun!â€?

S
hirley Tinner remembers it well. More than 47 years ago there was a Girl Scout Brownie Troop in Astoria led by Tinner, Carol Obie and Nelly Norman. Tinner’s daughter, Kim Supple, and nine of her fellow little Brownies formed a dance group guided by their three leaders. The Brownies retired, but the dancing continued. Mothers made costumes, and the girls sang and danced. “We learned one little song and dance, then another. Next thing we knew, we had created a Salute to Scandinavia that our girls performed frequently,â€? Tinner said. “We wanted to reward the girls for their hard work, so we all – old and young – sold WDII\ WR ÂżQDQFH D EXV WULS WR 'LVQH\ODQG .QR[ %HUry Farm and San Francisco to see the sights and of course perform.

Forty-seven years later, the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival has grown up from its dance group start.

If you’re looking to start your Saturday a.m. with some exercise, there’s the 11th annual Running of the Trolls, costumes welcome. And there’s Kubb, a team yard game that’s been around for 1,000 years. The run and the game both provide good excuses to spend more time guilt-free at those food booths.

Dylan Carlson
Aimee will attend Oregon State University in the fall, majoring in forensic science. Of her experiences with the court, she says, “I’ve had some amazing conversations with Scandinavian lodge members. I was able to hear all kinds of stories about how early immigrant families grew up and what Astoria used to be like. Before being on the court, I never realized how big of a connection it is to share an ancestral bond with other people. Being Scandinavian ties us together and makes us unique at the same time. It’s something about myself I will always have to be proud of no matter what.�
Karen is married to a Scandinavian, and her daughters have served on the court in the past. She works at Columbia Bank and has enjoyed the experience as an opportunity to learn more about her husband’s heritage.
Dylan has enjoyed his responsibilities of hanging out with the all-female court and visiting the lodges where good food has been served. He’s especially looking forward to Swedish meatballs at the festival.

Right: Catch Double J and the Boys in the beer garden Friday and Saturday.
FOLKVOICE From an energetic rollicking Finnish humppa to an elegant Swedish hambo, Seattle-based Folkvoice performs them all. Folkvoice will be on stage and in the beer garden all three days.
The Astor Street Opry Company will present three performances of “Ole and Lena’s Wedding” at the festival. This 45-minute, audience-interactive show is about a traditional Scandinavian family and the wedding of their kids, Ole and Lena. The play is packed with Scandinavian humor – plus there’s a chance to eat white wedding cake! Don’t leave too early; be sure to catch the slide show at the reception.
Livakat NW Kantele Players and the Evergreen Kantele Ensemble are directed by Satu Mikkola. “Livakasti” means “lively” in English, it’s an appropriate word to describe the music of these Finnish folk harp players. The original group started in 1999 in Portland, and a sister group formed in 2005 in Seattle. Wilho Saari, a kantele master from Naselle, Washington, serves as patient instructor and mentor for Livakat, and the musicians enjoy performing his original compositions and arrangements. Livakat will perform an hour of concert music Saturday. On Sunday, the group will perform the Kantele Mass during the church service.

Summer reading starts at Timberland Regional Libraries Program themes present a science focus for kids, teens PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Summertime means children and teens hunting for things to do and parents and caregivers turning to the Timberland Regional Library annual Summer Reading Program, where their kids always have something to do, read, discover, talk about and make. A summer at the library offers programs and library materials for all youth from babyhood through age 18. Library summer programs begin when schools let out. Then library staff begin giving out free â&#x20AC;&#x153;Summer at the Libraryâ&#x20AC;? fun bags that include summer event calendars, puzzles and word games for various age levels, new book lists, and entry forms for prize drawings.

CANNON BEACH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Think you know your fairy tales? Think again. The Coaster Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 summer production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Woodsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opening Friday, June 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; might teach you a thing or two. A powerhouse Broadway musical, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Woodsâ&#x20AC;? combines the classic fairy tale characters from The Brothers Grimm with the Broadway magic of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine to create a rare modern classic. The story follows a baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk. When the baker and his wife learn they cannot have a child because of a witchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curse, they set off on a journey to break it. Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes are granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results. Venture into the woods and watch as characters from â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cinderella,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rapunzel,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jack and the Beanstalkâ&#x20AC;? and more interact on stage. Director Ryan Hull returns to the Coaster Theatre for this production, having previously directed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World in 80 Days.â&#x20AC;? Before returning to Oregon, he completed the actors training program at the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway in New York City. Classically trained soprano
Ann Bronson plays The Witch. 2000 marked Bronsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut on the Coaster stage, and since then she has appeared in many shows, most recently as Martha in â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Darren Hull plays The Baker. Hull appeared most recently as Phil Davis in â&#x20AC;&#x153;White Christmas.â&#x20AC;? Outside the world of make believe, Hull is an owner of Yuletides Christmas Shop and Dreams 7 Discoveries. Sheila Shaffer plays The Bakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wife. Shaffer lives in Astoria and has made the Coaster her theatrical home for the last 12 years. She has also directed nine productions. The cast of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Into the Woodsâ&#x20AC;? also features David Sweeney as Narrator/Mysterious Man, Lisa Fergus as Cinderella, Richard Bowman as Jack, Amanda Payne as Little Red Ridinghood, Joseph Oyala as The Wolf/Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prince/Voice of the Giant, Sue Myers as Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother, Ellen Jensen as Rapunzel, Todd Payne as Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Father, Jean Rice as Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stepmother, Ben Van Osdol as The Steward, Cindy Karr as Florinda/Granny/Sleeping Beauty, Bree Heavenrich as Lucinda/Snow White and Cameron Lira as the Voice of Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mother.

The next year, 1848, Dumas published â&#x20AC;&#x153;La dame aux CamĂŠliasâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lady of the Camelliasâ&#x20AC;?) as a novel, inspired by Duplessis. Since then, the story has only grown. Dumas adapted his own novel for the stage in 1852 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and on seeing the play in Paris, Verdi quickly set about creating his operatic version, which premiered only a year later. (Dumas named her Marguerite; Verdi dubbed her Violetta â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the story is the same.)

I promised a recipe for my favorite burgers. This is a basic UHFLSH WKDW FDQ EH ³IDQF\ ¿ HG´ LQ DQ\ ZD\ \RX VHH ¿ W ± H[SHUL ment with different spices or cheeses. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a winner!
The Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burgers with red onion compote
For the burger, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need 1 pound of ground chuck
½ teaspoon onion powder
A dash of paprika
A dash of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper, to taste
½ teaspoon celery seeds
½ teaspoon ground mustard
½ cup blue cheese
½ teaspoon garlic powder Directions Combine all ingredients except blue cheese in a bowl. Divide mixture into four even portions and pat each portion into a flattened patty. Divide the blue cheese equally among the four patties, placing it in the center of each and wrapping the patty around it, like wrapping a gift. Gently flatten the patties a second time. Cook as desired. For the red onion compote ½ cup water 1 ¼ cup beer
2 red onions, thickly sliced Salt and black pepper, to taste
½ cup brown sugar Directions In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients and place over medium heat. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Allow to simmer for one hour, until the mixture has thickened and reduced to about two cups. Use as a topping for burgers.
Happy summer, and happy grilling!
