“Your Comfort Is Our Priority”

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

The Human Bean Coffee Comfort for Spring Days By Dennis McNabb, Contributing Writer

homas Jefferson once referred to coffee as “the favorite drink of the civilized world.” Who can argue with that? Especially here in the Pacific Northwest, where 3 out of 4 seasons are marked by cold rainy days, coffee shops are as common as convenience stores. Here in Clackamas, one of our favorite purveyors of coffee (among other beverages) is The Human Bean. Of course, these denizens of deliciousness aren’t brewing up mere plain black coffee - oh no! They’re building flavor profiles that sound and taste like they belong on the dessert menu at some fancy French restaurant. Cleverly concocted creamy creations of caffeine to comfort us on cold days, the foamy deliciousness is like sunshine in a cup! The Human Bean originated right here in Oregon, starting with the opening of the first location in Ashland in 1998. The company franchised in 2002, and today they are rocking and rolling with 300 locations in 25 states! You may wonder, with so many options in our area when it comes to coffee, how does a business like The Human Bean emerge and thrive? In a word, passion. The owners have an enormous passion for high-quality coffee. In another word, demand. They saw a demand for quality coffee served conveniently via drive-thru by friendly, experienced baristas. They focused on their passion, rose to the occasion, and the rest is history! Aly Koehnke is the Director of Operations and co-owner of 4 locations here in the Portland Metro Area, including the Clackamas location. She started out 15 years ago working at the corporately-owned Canby location, and she loved it so much that she worked her way up into management and then ultimately became a franchisee. During her time managing the Canby store, she met her current business partner, Josh Veentjer, who was already a franchisee, and they joined forces to grow the brand. Having worked directly with corporate at the top levels of the company, Aly knows firsthand the values that The Human Bean is built on, and her success is a testament to them. She sincerely loves and believes in this brand, and is passionate about sharing all it has to offer with the community. Speaking of company values, the Human Bean actually has their own coffee sourcing program called Farm Friendly Direct. As the title suggests, they work directly with farmers around the world, building long-term relationships in an attempt to not only ensure the steady supply of quality beans, but also to help support those farming communities with consistent business. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

The beans are then sent to Portland Coffee Roasters, another of their long-term business partners. Portland Coffee then roasts and delivers the beans to The Human Bean on a weekly basis, so they’re always fresh! It’s a special unique blend that you can’t get anywhere else, and the proof is in the pudding, as they say - or in this case, it’s in the coffee. You will never get a substandard cup of coffee at any of their locations. It never tastes “burnt,” it’s always smooth and creamy, never bitter, and never too sweet. The love is in the details! Another value that sets The Human Bean above and beyond is their commitment to top-notch customer service. Yes, they consistently serve delicious, high-quality drinks (and food) made from the best ingredients. Yes, they have beautifully designed, clean and efficient stores that are conveniently located for their customers. Yes, they are locally-owned with a strong presence in their communities, and yes, they do top off your drink with a delicious chocolate-covered espresso bean! But on top of all that, you get fantastic service every time. Go to any of their locations and you will experience it first-hand. Their baristas are friendly, professional, and experienced, and more than happy to help you choose or conceive your new favorite drink or breakfast sandwich. This is no accident; the owners and managers of The Human Bean have carefully cultivated this friendly and open environment to ensure that you have the best experience possible. If you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and visit The Human Bean today. It’s the perfect time to get a delicious cup of cheer and share a smile with your barista. Once you’ve gone Bean, you’ll never go back! The Human Bean is located at 9839 SE Elon St. in Clackamas. For more information, give them a ring at 503-303-4795 or order delivery at grubhub.com.

Easter History: Hares, Eggs, & Candy By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

Easter is about rebirth, renewal, and fertility. This is evident in symbols like the Easter bunny and Easter eggs, which eventually led to chocolate eggs, marshmallow Peeps, and the second best-selling candy holiday in America! Let’s take a quick look at how Easter has changed over the years.

Easter Bunny

According to legend, the Easter bunny first came to 1700s America with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania and brought along their tradition of an egg-laying rabbit called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Children made outdoor nests so this curious creature could lay its colored eggs. Eventually, the tradition spread across the country, and the fabled hare’s Easter morning goodies would eventually include chocolate, candy, and gifts, while colorful baskets would replace the nests. Much like milk and cookies left out for Santa, children would often leave out carrots in case the Easter bunny got hungry from all his hopping!

Easter Eggs

From a Christian perspective, eggs were handed out during Easter service in early Orthodox churches, with the hard shell representing the sealed tomb and the cracking of the egg representing the resurrection. One explanation is that eggs used to be forbidden during Lent, so Christians would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration. The origin of dyeing Easter eggs is less clear, beginning anywhere from 13th century Europe or all the way back to ancient Mesopotamia. It’s rumored the early Christians of Mesopotamia dyed eggs using red to represent the blood shed on the cross. Later, missionaries may have painted biblical scenes on eggs and used them to explain the story of Easter to children. 8 To Advertise With Us, Call 503.825.2111

Easter Candy

Fast forward to the 19th century, when European chocolatiers began making chocolate eggs to celebrate Easter. Nowadays, Easter is the second best-selling candy holiday in America after Halloween. The largest Easter egg ever made was over 25 feet high and weighed over 8,000 pounds, made from chocolate and marshmallow, and supported by an internal steel frame. Another egg-shaped candy is the jelly bean, first popular for Easter back in the 1930s. Over 16 billion jelly beans are made in the U.S. each year for Easter. Over the last decade, the marshmallow Peep has been the best-selling non-chocolate Easter candy. Created in the 1950s, the original Peeps were handmade, yellow marshmallow chicks, and other flavors and shapes were introduced later, including chocolate mousse bunnies! info from history.com

HISTORY

By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer

or the multitude of travelers crossing the Interstate Bridge between Oregon and Washington, Jantzen Beach is simply a vast spread of shopping centers, restaurants, and hotels clustered on Hayden Island as you zoom past. Many will have a vague notion of the area being associated with the Jantzen brand of swimwear, but with each passing year the memories of the iconic Jantzen Beach Amusement Park dwindle into obscurity. Back in the day, hailed as the “Coney Island of the West,” Hayden Island was once home to the largest amusement park in the nation—a massive park encompassing 123 acres that was patronized by over 30 million people during its 42 years of operation. It all began in 1927 when William A. Logus and Leo F. Smith purchased forty acres on Hayden Island from the Portland Electric Power Company. Shortly thereafter, Logus and Smith launched the Jantzen Beach Amusement Park, named after Carl Jantzen of swimwear fame; along with a number of Jantzen executives and several prominent members of the community, Carl R12

FOR MORE COUPONS VISIT WWW.FROGCOUPONS.COM

Jantzen underwrote the entire $500,000 project. Jantzen and his fellow investors envisioned the park as a showcase to promote swimming as a public activity, which later included the company’s sponsorship of national “Learn to Swim” weeks throughout the 1940s and ‘50s. With swimming as a primary focus of the park, four gigantic swimming pools were constructed as well as a natatorium (an indoor swimming facility). The Jantzen Beach Amusement Park officially opened on May 26, 1928. In addition to the swimming pools, the park also featured a number of popular rides including the Big Dipper Roller Coaster and a custom-made carousel. Constructed by C.W. Parker, the “American Amusement King,” the carousel was hand-crafted in 1921 and first operated at Venice Beach in Los Angeles. After surviving a fire, the carousel was later shipped to Portland where it became a highlight attraction at Jantzen Beach. Of the various rides created by Parker, only the carousel survives

today. It resides in the custodianship of Restore Oregon, an organization with plans to reassemble and install the carousel in a permanent new home that will “serve as a new attraction for our region.” On a spooky note, the carousel was for years the source of ghost stories. A number of youngsters, as well as maintenance workers, claimed to have witnessed ghostly children on or about the ride. The Big Dipper Roller Coaster, designed by Carl Phare, took center stage as the featured attraction of the park. The “Dipper,” a gigantic amusement construction, boasted to be the largest roller coaster west of Chicago, traveling 3800 feet per minute with 14 dips, 5 of them in excess of 35 feet, and the steepest dip which plunged riders 70 feet straight down. For the more faint of heart, the park offered a Kiddy Dipper roller coaster, and included arcade games and picnic grounds. One of the biggest draws of the park was the Golden Canopy Ballroom, which became Portland’s premier dancehall during the 1930s and ‘40s. In 1942, Clara Shepard of the Spectator newspaper wrote: “If a young man about town says dancin’ to a girl, he might as well say Jantzen Beach at the same time…for they are synonymous as far as she is concerned. The Golden Canopy Ballroom features the sweetest swing in the country every night of the park’s season, with a parade of big name dance bands moving across its board…” Shepard’s description was no exaggeration. World famous musicians such as Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong performed at Jantzen Beach to the delight of thousands who flocked to the park for unforgettable nights of top shelf entertainment. By the late 1940s, however, Jantzen Beach was in decline. Vanport, a town created during World War I to house workers at the Kaiser Shipyards in Portland and Vancouver (hence the name Vanport), was located at today’s Delta Park area and provided one of Jantzen Beach’s primary revenue sources. As the second largest city in Oregon at the time (by population), the residents of Vanport frequented Jantzen Beach for its wide variety of entertainment right in their own “backyard.” After the Vanport Flood of 1948, which effectively destroyed the majority of the town, and the

decline in population after the war, this important revenue stream dried up for the once thriving park. Changes in the society at large also contributed to the decline of Jantzen Beach. While television rose to prominence as America’s go-to entertainment, people frequently opted to stay home rather than venture out during their leisure time. When they did venture out, the boundless freedom of the automobile—now a staple of American society—offered endless opportunities for recreational activities. The allure of the traditional amusement park had lost its luster. In 1960, a fire broke out in the Tunnel of Love, resulting in its destruction as well as that of the Fun House and the Dutch Mill. In the face of incidents and declining attendance, the Jantzen Beach Amusement Park closed its doors after Labor Day weekend in 1970. Following the closure of the amusement park, Jantzen Beach Center, a large shopping complex, eventually arose, and for some years housed the historic C.W. Parker carousel, which may operate again one day should Restore Oregon succeed in constructing a new home for it. The pumping system for the swimming pools of the old amusement park are still in use today, providing drinking water for residents of the Hayden Island area. And wooden remnants of the Big Dipper Roller Coaster live on at Ken’s Artisan Pizza on S.E. 28th St. in Portland, where they have been repurposed as tables, as well as the bar itself. So the next time you’re caught in traffic on I-5 near Jantzen Beach, allow yourself to daydream a little about the “Coney Island of the West,” that famous amusement park on the Columbia from days gone by that brought joy to millions, and memories to last a lifetime, for those fortunate enough to share in the experience.

Beat cake mix, water, egg whites, vegetable oil, and lemon extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until batter is well combined, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pans. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. 4. Beat cream in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer until soft peaks are almost forming into stiff peaks; place bowl in refrigerator. 5. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. 6. Place 1 cake on a plate; top with blueberry pie filling. Place second cake atop blueberry filling. Generously frost cake with whipped cream cheese frosting.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

COLLEGE HUNKS HAULING JUNK & MOVING

Honest, Uniformed,Nice, Knowledgeable & Service-driven C By Tyler Francke, Contributing Writer Photos By Andrew Sambuceto

ollege HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving, which provides stress-free solutions for moving and junk-hauling needs, is opening its newest franchise in Oregon City. “It’s pretty much in the name,” franchise owner Scott Lane says of his new business’ range of services. “When people sell their houses, one of two things happen. They either need to move everything, or they move what they want out and the rest is junk. We take care of both: your stuff and your junk.” While the HUNKS part of their name may lead some to speculate that it’s a description of their employees, in fact it’s an acronym for Honest, Uniformed, Nice, Knowledgeable and Service-driven, which essentially sums up their mission. The new Oregon City franchise will provide donation pickups and general labor assistance in addition to the company’s signature fast, FULL SERVICE friendly moving and junk hauling services.

“Our goal is to provide the least stressful move that we FULL SERVICE M can,” Scott explains. “We believe moving is stressful MUST PRESENT COUPO FULL SERVIC enough without having to worry about getting your stuff SERVICE $25 from point A to point B, or getting rid of the junkNot you valid with any othO FULL SERVIC COUPON EXPIRES 12 don’t need.”

“That’s one of the things we do that’s outside the norm,” Scott says. “We recycle and donate as much as possible. But it’s really about getting to know the client, listening to what they need and getting it done. We’ll haul darn near anything, whether you’ve got one item or a thousand. We just want the best service in the world for our clients.” The real estate market is red-hot right now, with many folks looking to sell their houses and seek opportunities elsewhere, and with many more eyeing a new home in the Beaver State. “We’re slammed right now,” Scott admits with a laugh. “There’s a lot of demand. And a lot of people turn to us because we have

so many really great partners in the area, from Realtors to property managers to long-term care facilities.” The Oregon City College HUNKS franchise currently has about six employees and is always looking for new team members (one need not be in college or college-age to apply.) But Lane himself is not the type to sit behind a desk. “I’m a hands-on guy,” he says. “I’m out at the jobs, helping clients.” The Oregon City College HUNKS Hauling Junk and Moving is located at 402 Beavercreek Road, Suite 109.
