she grew up in Portland, living in Laurelhurst. After her father’s death and with the family in debt, Hazel, her sister, Ruth, and their mother moved to a house at 106 N.W. 22nd Place. To help out with the household finances, Hazel took up sewing. Over the years, she developed a fine reputation for exquisite needlework, initializing trousseaus for brides and delicate embroidery stitches on baptismal gowns, including the vestment cuffs for the Bishop of Portland. Most of her clients were the wealthy families living in the West Hills. The house on 22nd Place still stands and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and there is a movement to rename the street Hazel Hall Place. In a vacant lot next to the home, the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission established and dedicated a “poetry garden� where three of Hazel Hall’s poems are etched in granite. Her first published set of poems was “Curtains� (1921), followed by “Walkers� (1923), which was released in Portland through J.K. Gill’s bookstore. The third collection of poems, “Cry of Time� (1928) was
published posthumously after her sister Ruth tried endlessly to persuade Hazel’s friend, mentor and publisher, Harriet Monroe of the magazine Poetry in New York, to print the final pieces of her sister’s work. Mach’s play “Monograms� is not an attempt to recreate the life of Hazel Hall in history, but an attempt to let the audience in on a brief moment of her creative genius. Wine service will be available during the performance in the McTavish Room. Future productions are “Cover Shot,� a comedy about architecture, ambition and ego by Tad Savinar, Oct. 17 and 18. The third play in the series is “Saint In A Cage,� by William Gregory, Nov. 14 and 15, in which Philip of Burgundy gets custody of Joan of Arc and puts her in a cage. Seating is limited. Tickets are $15 per show or any two shows for $25, or all three shows for $40. Tickets are on sale at the Liberty Theater box office, at 1203 Commercial St. For more information, call 503-3255922, ext. 55. The box office is open from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and two hours before curtain.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY DAN HAAG
Vintage tools
A vintage Stanley multi-plane is part of Joel Haag's collection of tools.
North Coast resident builds on family history
N
ehalem Valley resident Joel Haag has been a longtime practitioner of creating things by hand. With his collection of vintage tools, he not only preserves a link to venerable carpentry traditions, but he maintains a pathway to his family’s history. Haag’s grandfather, Gottlieb, lived his entire life in Chippewa Falls, Wis. Born to a family of German immigrants who settled in the Midwest in the mid1860s, he became a widely sought-after carpenter. “Grandfather built a lot of houses in Chippewa Falls,”
Haag said. “It’s not like contracting today in terms of licenses and insurance; if he built a house for a friend and other people liked what they saw, he was hired again.” In his profession, Gottlieb Haag acquired or made an impressive array of hand tools, including saws, levels, chisels, wrenches and planes. For their safe storage, he built a large hardwood chest for carrying to each job site. After his death in 1915, the collection was left to his son Carl, also a carpenter in Wisconsin. In 1984, the tools were again passed on, this time to Carl’s nephew Joel, who was remodeling his house in Minnesota. “I was excited to have them,” Haag said. “I never met my grandfather, and they were something of his I could touch.” The chest and its tools are representative of carpentry techniques that date from the late 19th century. The chest is constructed with racks and drawers that fit together for consolidated storage and transportation. There is a folding rack for the hand saws in the chest’s lid, removable trays for the assortment of folding brass rules, various wooden boxes for specialty planes and tins for miscellaneous items. These include the metal stamps used by Gottlieb Haag to hammer his initials into each tool for identification on a job site. “I try to store everything like it was when I got the chest,” Haag said. “I did have to add wheels for my use. It was just too heavy for me to move around otherwise.”
Tools of the trade
Joel Haag’s vintage toolbox holds myriad tools of the woodworking trade.

Of particular interest is the collection of planes, each a different size and made for a specific use. “He bought many of the metal jack and bailey planes for finer work, like railings,” Haag said. “The larger wooden block planes are good for bigger projects like doors.” The plane assortment also includes flat tongueand-groove planes used for specialty flooring and
molding. Haag is particularly impressed with a heavy Stanley multi-plane, which requires meticulous assembly. It was purchased by his grandfather for $2.90 and has the original instruction pamphlet. “I’ve used this on decorative trim for chests and picture frames,” he said. “It definitely takes some getting used to and a lot of practice.” Without electricity at job sites, Gottlieb Haag needed a variety of hand saws to cut lengths of lumber. In time, each saw needed sharpening, a job that required its own specialized tool, a saw clamp. “It wasn’t a matter of giving the saw to someone to sharpen; it was do-it-yourself,” Haag said. “The clamp holds the blade in place, and you inch it through to bend and sharpen one tooth at a . time.” This time-consuming maintenance extended to all the tools in the chest. Haag has dry clumps of lint near the bottom of the chest. The lint used to be soaked with linseed oil and packed around the tools after each day’s work. “Nowadays, we have the luxury of tossing a tool out when it breaks and replacing it,” Haag said. “Carpenters in that time period didn’t have that option. They worked during the day and took time at night to maintain the tools. A dull or rusty blade meant a delay in their livelihood.” Haag appreciates the painstaking efforts his grandfather put into his profession and has made an effort to utilize and preserve that legacy. “I understand that most tools and techniques have improved,” Haag said. “Still, many of these tools are better than the average ones you’ll find on a store shelf. I still use them all for every project I do. There is always a great amount of satisfaction to be had when you build something by hand.”
The chest and its tools are representative of carpentry techniques that date from the late 19th century

Ernie Atkinson, right, shows off his chairs made from vintage water skis.
A unique use of vintage water skis Ernie Atkinson, an artist working in wood
W
Whoever heard of Adirondack chairs made out of water skis? If you’re Ernie Atkinson, you just make it up, creating new things out of old. So, chairs out of water skis aren’t any kind of a stretch for him. He calls himself a scavenger because he looks at wood that others throw away and sees new and different things that he can make out of it. Some Astorians know Atkinson because he taught their children, either in the middle school or at John Jacob Astor Elementary School. He was a reading specialist and started the reading program at Astoria Middle School. He has even taught kindergarten. “Most teachers go up in the grades or into administration; not me, I went down to the little ones.” He retired in 1999 – leaving lots of time for pursuing his favorite hobby – woodworking. Visiting the Atkinsons’ home is a tour of what a really talented woodworker and careful craftsman can do with whatever he finds. “We bought this house for a song in 1976 and it was a wreck,” Atkinson said. “The ceiling had been lowered, the woodwork painted – it had been ‘fixed-down’ instead of fixed up. It was badly muddled. Under the false ceiling I found vertical grain Doug fir and clear cedar.” That was just the beginning of a long-term restoration project. Judy and Ernie Atkinson’s home is a thing of beauty now, sitting high on a hill with a glorious view of their own gardens and the shipping lanes. We visited on a particularly beautiful day,
sat on those unique chairs out on their patio, looked at the view and enjoyed last-of-theseason blueberries picked on the spot right out of the garden. (Judy found a big, fat zucchini lurking under its lavish foliage and offered it to this lucky visitor who quickly accepted it.)

Atkinson has been repurposing things since he was a kid. He once made a new boat out of an old boat, has built bike frames and has restored several

firm – working with Julia Morgan, the architect of more than 700 buildings in California, best known for her work on Hearst Castle in San Simeon – made duplicate pieces of what William Randolph Hearst saw in his travels abroad. Atkinson started working on a kit boat when he was quite young. He ran into a bit of trouble and asked his grandfather to take a look at it. Grandad packed kit (and kaboodle) to his company and 12 hours later Atkinson had a boat. He watched it all happen and learned a great deal in the process. He got started on the Adirondack chairs when he saw some made out of barrel staves and others made from snow skis. He judged that the snow skis were too flexible so thought: “Why not water skis?” He ran an ad in The Daily Astorian asking for old water skis and had calls from everywhere. He even had someone give him a “Maherajah,” from a maker of custom wood water skis since 1950. When he learned of its value as a collectible, he asked the owner if he really wanted to part with it. He did, and it became part of one of Atkinson’s chairs. Each chair is unique. He uses the wood availa b l e and leaves logos intact on each one, uses the skis’ fins as decorative objects and often combines fir, cherry, oak and redwood in his creations. We asked him “What’s next?” and his response was, “I’ll let you know.”
“I’m 55, should I get one every year?” “I’m 30, do I need one at all?”

something that tells a story of a bygone time Story by Cate Gable
T
herreaw ot ink dso fpe pleo ni the w orl :td oseh how hav ean unm stai ablk pae sio nfo rvi tagn e objects and those who assign them to the junk heap. Hand-made, hand-forged, hand-painted or hand-joined – they are all treasures in the world of Paul Tuter, co-owner of Vintage Hardware in Astoria. “For me, if they could talk, oh, the stories they would tell.” Co-owner Becky Johnson agrees, “I think of vintage as something that has to be 50 years old, something worn and loved or well-used that has found its beauty again. Something that tells a story of bygone times.”
But no matter how you define it, when you see a vintage object you know, because it has a special feel. “What we have here,” Johnson says about their storefront on the corner of Duane and 14th streets, “and even the people who work here feel it – is that this place has soul. People stop by and, if they’re having a bad day, they leave feeling better then when they came in. It’s alive in here. “There is a soulfulness, even in the inanimate objects, and that’s the magic.”
Vintage Hardware Vintage Hardware is housed in the 4,000-square-foot building which was once the Astor Hotel, and it’s stuffed with fascinating finds from architectural salvage to home décor. (This dynamic duo also has a warehouse of another 10,000 square feet.) Tables, linens, drawer pulls, door knobs, sink fixtures, doors and windows, milk cans, baskets, photographs, tool chests, mirrors, chairs, armoires, signs, grates, pulleys and all variety of chotchkes fill every nook and cubby. Vintage collectors seem to have a set of ethics that match their treasures. “We pride ourselves on being fair,” Tuter says. “We get calls every day from people wanting us to look at their things, and I think it’s because they trust us. Ninety-five percent of the stuff in our store is from Clatsop County.” Johnson concurs, “We get the majority of our merchandise from phone calls. We rarely go to estates sales. It’s all about word of mouth. Paul and I believe it’s that they know we have an honest reputation. If we go to a yard sale, and we see a chest for $40 we might say, ‘Let us consign that for you, and you can probably make a couple hundred.’” “I like to think that here in Clatsop County we are rich in the ‘natural resources’ of old objects,” Johnson continues. “People have held on to these pieces and kept them preserved in their garages and attics and basements kind of waiting for us.” Johnson and Tuter have that rare combination of talents that makes for a perfect business matchup. “Paul is the picker,” Johnson says. “He finds it and loves it – it’s his addiction. Then he brings it to me. I never know what I’m going to get to look at, so I’m the merchandising part of the business. Each thing is touched and handled and cleaned and discussed or repainted or fixed or reupholstered and priced. “Everything is a joint effort. We think about what colors we’re going forward with. We have a wonderful chemistry in terms of seeing the end result. We’re best friends, but don’t tell Paul. And we do have a selection of reproduction items because there is no way we could come up with eight or 22 matching hooks or knobs.” Later, Tuter added, “I was so lucky to find Becky as a business partner. She’s my best friend, but don’t tell her.”

12 | September 13, 2012 | coastweekend.com
In Ocean Park, Wash., is another hidden treasure for collectors – Jerry Matzen’s Crow’s Nest. Matzen, a nationally acclaimed fish decoy carver (he won ‘Fish Decoy Carver of the Year’ in 2001), has an eclectic shop
where true riches can be found. “You can walk in here with five bucks in your pocket and find something of value,” Matzen says. “That’s the way I’ve tried to set up my store, to be homey and comfortable.” Born and raised on the Long Beach Peninsula, Matzen caught the collecting bug early. “I’ve always collected, my whole life – since the ‘Star Trek’ and Hot Wheels days – lots of different things. But now I look mainly for early Americana hunting, fishing and trapping things.” When Matzen was in eighth grade, his father, a logger, got hurt in the woods, and the family moved to Nevis, Minn. “We bought a summer fishing resort. So I got immersed in fish decoys in Minnesota. When I was a senior in high school, we all made our own decoys in shop class. Mine was a foot long and kind of resembled a Christmas tree – it had some red and green on it and didn’t work at all. But when I had my live bait and tackle shop, that’s when I really got into fish decoys for resale. “I’d carve decoys and sell them for $5 or $10 apiece,” Matzen says. “And to this day, the ones that I made in my bait shop, all unsigned, are worth the most to collectors because they were really used by fishermen. I only made four or five dozen that got out into the world, but people have tracked them down. I get emails with pictures from time to time. “I don’t like them much – they’re little fish that I made pretty fast, all northern pikes. You don’t find them on eBay; they’re in collections or on private fish or folk art lists. A lot of decoys are unsigned – there are people who made them for drinks at a bar. But as soon as you can attribute a name to one – bingo! – they’re worth something.”
Jerry Matzen holds a fish decoy he is working on, made from a Douglas fir cant that he scavanged off the beach. – CATE GABLE PHOTO
The collecting lifestyle The Crow’s Nest has something for everyone, though Matzen’s specialties are old tools, nautical items and Americana. “You don’t see the collectors anymore like you used to for things like World War I objects, buttonhooks or dolls,” he says. “That crowd is dying off. What’s hot now is industrial lighting, ‘steampunk,’ (from the literary term for medieval fantasy and sci-fi) and things for home décor. But I’m always trying to hunt down the local history stuff.” People can find everything from wooden cranberry harvesting scoops to an enormous Douglas fir “cant” that Matzen scavanged this February. A cant is a center-cut beam, and this one came out of a Canadian exporter wrecked in August 1921. “When the ship foundered, it broke in two and sank into the sand,” says Matzen. “Every once in a while, when there’s high surf in the wintertime, some of these cants pop up on the beach.” For these vintage collectors, there is the clear sense of dedication, of saving these items for future generations. Tuter says, “It’s been a lifestyle for me forever.” Matzen hopes daughter Isobella “Izzy,” 15, will catch the bug. And Johnson sums up the sentiment, “We feel like this is bigger than we are. Really, we’re providing a service – well, without getting too emotional about it.” September 13, 2012 | coastweekend.com | 13
MOUTH-WATERING BURGERS
flavor OF THE COAST
COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL FOOD COLUMN STORY AND PHOTO BY DEEDA SCHROEDER
Mushroom burgers
W
hile summer isn’t hanging around much longer, there’s no reason to stop cooking one of the season’s trademark foods – burgers. Burgers never get boring, because there are so many different ways to prepare them. From the ingredients in the patty itself, the toppings and the bun to the cooking method, there are thousands of combinations. Here are some ideas to create your own burger masterpieces. The traditional beef patty has been the favorite for a reason – it’s juicy, has wonderful flavor and richness, and can be formed into a patty and tossed onto your grill in a matter of seconds. Even though you might be tempted to go lean with your ground beef, choose one with a decent percentage of fat, especially if you’ll be cooking your burgers well done. Those tasty juices lend incredible flavor and moisture. Pork, buffalo and lamb can also make excellent burgers. If you’re trying them for the first time, find a recipe to use for guidance, however, because flavors can be more distinctive and textures different from what you’re used to. Turkey and chicken are favorites for leaner burgers. Because they have less fat, adding ingredients like fine-chopped spinach, sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms can help add flavor and keep a perfectly-cooked burger moist. Even if you aren’t vegetarian, non-meat burger recipes using legumes like beans and lentils can be delicious, too.
14 | September 13, 2012 | coastweekend.com
Form your patty evenly, helping it cook uniformly. About one-half-inch thick is perfect, keeping in mind that it will shrink in diameter and get thicker in the middle. Whatever you choose, don’t forget to season your patty with sea salt and fresh-cracked pepper before you put it on the grill or other cooking surface. Cast iron skillets, heavy-bottomed saute pans and even grilling pans with grill-like ridges also make delicious burgers inside when setting up the barbecue isn’t an option. If using a grill, make sure the cooking surface is clean and oiled, helping to create a nonstick surface. Keep the temperature hot and even, allowing plenty of time for the grill to heat up before cooking. When the temperature is hot enough that you can put your hand about four to five inches over the surface for just a second before it becomes uncomfortable, you’ve got the right temperature – about medium high on a gas grill. Once on the grill, allow the burger to cook without touching or adjusting it for several minutes, allowing the meat to sear and form a delicious crust where it hits the heat. After about three minutes, adjust with a metal spatula just once, turning 90 degrees without flipping, if aiming for diamond grill marks. Leave another two minutes before flipping. If you’re cooking for a crowd, invest in a probe thermometer that you can use to find the burger’s internal temperature. You’ll eliminate the guesswork and please everyone. Topping your burger, even if you didn’t cook it, lets everyone make their burger their own. Standard toppings like lettuce, tomato, catsup and mustard don’t have to be boring, though. Head to the farmer’s market and pick an exotic heirloom tomato to slice thick. Try or even
Here is a spin on the traditional beef burger to get you started INGREDIENTS (Makes four burgers) 1.5 pounds ground beef, 15-20 percent fat 1 cup chopped white or crimini mushrooms 1/3 cup finely diced onion 2 T barbecue sauce 1 t Worchestershire sauce ½ t sea salt, plus more for seasoning while cooking ¼ t fresh-cracked pepper, plus more for seasoning while cooking DIRECTIONS • Combine all ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Form ½-inch thick uniform patties and lay out on a plate. • Heat grill or pan to medium-high heat and place patties on cooking surface, seasoning with a sprinkle of salt and pepper on the surface. If grilling, turn 90 degrees after two to three minutes and allow to cook for two more minutes before flipping. The final side should take two to three minutes. • Serve immediately, topping with your favorite ingredients. make your own variation of catsup or mustard. Avocado, grilled or caramelized onions, roasted peppers and chiles and even grilled fruit can add incredible flavors. Homemade sauces, too, such as pesto, mayonnaise and barbecue sauce are wonderful additions. Don’t feel limited by the standard burger bun. Try square ciabatta rolls, brioche buns or even focaccia. Cut two thick slices of bread from your favorite bakery and toss on the grill for a quick toast, then rub with a whole garlic clove before assembling the burger.

converse with creative people and experience the life and work of artist William Park. The event begins with mingling and light snacks at 4:30 p.m. followed by a presentation at 5 p.m. Sitka Center painting instructor and past artist-inresidence Park will host the last Mingle and Muse event of the summer. Park’s work combines subjects from nature with a touch of abstraction for unpredictably striking results, creating work that inspires the viewer, taking them to a
place that exists in emotion, not reality. How does he find a balance in blending the real and abstract and why does his process often involve painting over seemingly perfect parts of his paintings? Sitka Center invites all to come and find out. Sitka Center is located on Cascade Head, with views of the Pacific Ocean and Salmon River.

In Their Footsteps ‘200 Years Downstream of Lewis and Clark’
The North Coast Squid Literary magazine calls for entries MANZANITA — The Manzanita Writers’ Series coordinators announce the continued collaboration with the North Coast Citizen to publish a second annual literary magazine. The North Coast Squid showcases work of writers and artists who live on the North Coast or have a strong connection to the area. The second magazine will publish in February, in time for the February Manzanita Writers’ Series event. Writing will be accepted in three categories: poetry, fiction and narrative nonfiction, which includes memoir. Three outside judges have agreed to read and judge all submissions. Erica Bauermeister, author of “The School of Essential Ingredients” and “Joy for Beginners,” will judge fiction entries. Matt Love, author of “Gimme Refuge: The Education of a Caretaker” and “Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel,” among others, will judge nonfiction. David Biespiel, poet, poetry columnist for the Oregonian and founder of the Attic Institute in
Portland, will judge poetry. The magazine is looking for art and photography submissions to accompany literary content for the publication. Art categories include black-andwhite photos and line drawings. Art and photos will be selected by the North Coast Squid’s editorial team. Submissions for consideration are due Nov. 30. Writers can submit one piece in each prose category and three pieces of poetry. Artists may submit three images each of black-and-white photos or line drawings (scanned and in jpg form.) For the full submission guidelines, go to hoffmanblog.org and click on Squid in the blog categories list. Fifty percent of the $2 cover price goes to the Hoffman Center to help with operational costs that provide programs such as the Manzanita Writers’ Series. The Manzanita Writer’s Series is a program of the Hoffman Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing arts, education and culture to the community.

Get ready for BioBlitz 2012 – an exciting day of science
SOU professor to discuss civility in debate
SEASIDE — Join Lewis and Clark National Historical Park and North Coast Land Conservancy from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, at the 2012 Clatsop Plains BioBlitz. This event is part biodiversity festival, part scientific endeavor and part outdoor classroom. Spend the day as a citizen scientist, helping visiting and local experts explore the forest, dunes, wetlands, open water and beach at LCNHP’s Yeon Property near Sunset Beach, discovering and documenting as many living creatures as possible. “Together, we can increase understanding of the rich biological diversity found where our families, friends and neighbors live, work and play,” said Teresa Retzlaff, outreach coordinator for North Coast Land Conservancy. BioBlitz events have taken place all over the country and all over the world. Across the country, BioBlitz efforts have helped the National Park Service discover and document thousands of species on public land. This is an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the variety and abundance of less-studied organisms that live on the Clatsop Plains. Events taking place throughout the day include joining teams of science specialists working to capture and identify a variety of species such as beetles, spiders and bugs; nature walks to
ASTORIA — Healthy debate and disagreement are at the heart of a vibrant democracy. Yet contemporary culture seems to be marked by increasing incivility. If civility defines the standard of behavior expected in human interaction, how can we promote a greater respect for one another? This is the focus of “Debating Fairly: Civility, Disagreement and Democracy,” a free conversation with Southern Oregon University professor Prakash Chenjeri at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Astoria Public Library, 450 10th St. The program is hosted by Astor Library Friends Association and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Chenjeri is an associate professor of philosophy and director of the Honors Program at SOU in Ashland, where he has been teaching since 1995. He is a member of several professional organizations, including the American Association of Philosophy Teachers, and serves on the Ethics Committee at
