BUILDING A BETTER
Leprechaun Trap have a friend who goes all-out for every holiday. It’s her true passion to show up for life in ways that make every day a celebration! That’s not me. We can’t all be like that, but having kids does make me embrace traditions a little bit more.
I
Case in point; our four-year-old, Daxon, absolutely LOVES St. Patrick’s Day. But how did this come about? We never celebrated the holiday, except to wear green as a deterrant to pinching. We’ve no Irish ancestry to speak of, and I am not one of you Pinterest moms who make green pancakes or anything remotely cool like that. But, for whatever reason, Daxon has decided that St. Patrick’s Day beats all others – he goes all-in. The first year I didn’t really get it. You see, we learned that Daxon picked up the notion from daycare that you can build elaborate little boxes into sneaky little leprechaun traps. As I’m told, if you aren’t lucky enough to catch a leprechaun; he will likely lose some of his gold coins while making his escape! But do you know when I first learned of this? It was about 3 p.m. on the afternoon of St. Patrick’s Day just before a meeting which was scheduled to last for hours! I was furious. “WHAT! Is this really ‘a thing’?” And just how do these newly minted made-up traditions keep popping up, seemingly out of nowhere, in advance of every holiday? Like planting jelly beans that turn into suckers at Easter. Like the elf on the shelf that monitors who’s “Naughty or Nice” for Santa. Like the ubiquitous tooth fairy!
But, I must digress. I was still muttering my discontent as I rushed out in search of gold coins. And to my surprise, I’ve learned it really is “a thing” ... and one I look forward to. Now, on year three, as a seasoned leprechaun hunter’s apprentice, I totally get it. We spend hours strategizing and building leprechaun traps. I want to record his sweet little voice saying, “weprekan”. This is the real pot of gold! Getting on the same level as our children is one of the most important things we do as parents; but being fully engaged is equally important as a friend, as an agent, and as a community member. Meeting people where they are is how we build relationships and strengthen our communities. Now, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at the Wells’ house has become quite “a thing.” Using up all the tape, dragging branches inside, tying string from chair-to-chair for the foolproof trip hazard in the quest to catch his leprechaun.... If this is what needs to be done, then so be it. All this to say; maybe don’t stop by unexpectedly around St. Patty’s Day this year. I have no idea how big his trap will be and I’d hate to find you strung up by your ankles or trapped in a box! Good luck! Got gold?
Until we meet, be well.

The first Friday in March kicks off a 24 hour period (from sundown to sundown) to UNPLUG, UNWIND, RELAX, and do things other than using today’s technology, electronics, and social media.
The amount of information available to us is at an all-time high and the amount of connectedness goes with us everywhere in a myriad of smart devices that are gradually taking up residence in our homes and bandwidth in our brains. UNPLUGGING from all the digital static offers us an opportunity to RESET – to make more human connections with the people around us. HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalDayOfUnplugging Make a plan with a friend or two ahead of time to take a break from technology and use #NationalDayOfUnplugging to post on social media the day before to spread the word.

ith the change of seasons come thoughts of gardening, spring cleaning, and home improvements. But before embarking on these projects or outdoor revelry, let’s take note of some potential hazards spring brings for our pets.
SCREEN YOURSELF Many of us welcome the breezy days of spring by opening our windows. For pet parents, this could unknowingly put pets at risk — especially cats, who are apt to jump or fall through unscreened windows. Be sure to install snug and sturdy screens in all of your windows. SPRING CLEANING Spring cleaning is a time-honored tradition in many of our households, but be sure to keep all cleaners and chemicals out of your pets’ way! Almost all cleaning products, even all natural ones, contain chemicals harmful to pets. Always read and follow label directions for proper use and storage. HOME IMPROVEMENT 101 Products such as paints, mineral spirits, and solvents can be toxic to pets, causing severe irritation or chemical burns. Carefully read all labels to see if the product is safe to use around your furry friends. And be cautious of physical hazards like nails, insulation, blades and power tools. It may be wise to confine your dog or cat to a pet-friendly area during the work. LET YOUR GARDEN GROW — WITH CARE Pet owners, take care — fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides may keep plants and lawns healthy and green, but their ingredients may be dangerous if a pet ingests them. Store these products in out-of-the-way places and follow label instructions carefully. Also, many popular springtime plants — including rhododendrons and azaleas — are highly toxic to pets. OUT AND ABOUT Warmer weather means more trips to the park, longer walks and more chances for your pet to wander off! Make sure your dog or cat has a microchip for identification and wears a tag imprinted with your home address, cell phone and any other relevant contact information.

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 24 To Advertise With Active Media, Call 503.825.2111
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 II 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.

LONG BROS. CAN HELP WITH ...
Safety Gear For DYIers As advocates of the ‘SAFETY FIRST’ philosophy, here are some valuable safety items we keep in stock at Long Bros.
Employee of the Month
SAFETY GLASSES
MASKS & RESPIRATORS
Safety glasses are inexpensive, so you should have multiple pairs. Stick with name brand glasses that are ANSI Z87.1- and OSHAregulated. Wraparound safety glasses provide the most protection, and anti-fog/anti-glare features are also available. Use tinted safety glasses when working outside, as sunglasses do not offer enough protection.
Toxic airborne particulates are nasty, especially asbestos, fiberglass, and mold that can be exposed when doing demolition work. A respirator mask is required when doing work like this. They are comfortable, provide more protection than disposable masks, and have replaceable filters. N95 masks are also better than nothing, and are meant to block 95% of particulates from sanding and sawing.
HEARING PROTECTION
TRENT POSTMA Trent hired-on as a Sales Associate here at Long Bros. five years ago this month. He is always ready to help customers with their plywood, concrete, flashing, and other special orders; and he jumps in when there’s freight loading and unloading to be done. His favorite product Long Bros. sells is – without hesitation – Monster energy drinks. He buys one every morning on arrival! Trent and his fiancée, Mireya, have a son, JuJu. When he isn’t working, Trent enjoys playing guitar, working on cars, watching movies and playing video games. His favorite place to travel is Las Vegas, but England is on his bucket list.

Power tools and equipment are louder than you think. Prolonged exposure of 90dB+ can result in hearing loss, so wearing hearing protection is important. Earmuffs provide the most hearing protection and can cut noise by 20dB or more. Earplugs provide slightly less protection, but they are less restrictive and can be carried in your pocket or glove box.
WORK GLOVES For home improvement and DIY projects, you should reach for a lightweight pair of leather, canvas, or cloth gloves that are sized to fit snugly. The best work gloves provide plenty of protection but still offer tactile sensation for work around the house, on the farm, or in the garden.
THIS MONTH’S
Feature Product A MUST-HAVE FOR PAINTING, SANDING & ANY OTHER DUSTY WORK! The 3M N95 respirator features Advanced Electrostatic Media that enhances the capture of airborne particles and is designed for easy breathing. An adjustable M-noseclip helps provide a custom, secure seal.

HARD HATS Hard hats are designed to protect the head against falling objects and the side of the head, eyes, and neck from any impacts, bumps, scrapes, and electrical exposure. And they protect you from sudden hazards. Wearing hard hats can make injuries less severe and this allows you to continue working on those DIY projects after recovery.

ARTS & CULTURE
A Voice Like No Other Dr. Sarah Maines By David Bates, Contributing Writer
Y
ou probably haven’t thought of musicians this way, but singers are athletes, and like other athletes pushing their bodies to the limit, they can get injured - and that’s where Dr. Sarah Maines can help. Sarah is a Portland area musician and teacher who, in addition to basic voice training, offers artistic and habilitative voice instruction. “We keep singers in top vocal shape for their chosen genre and help rebalance and strengthen the voice after an injury or strain,” she said. “I’ve had multiple students who came to me with issues severe enough to require surgery on their vocal folds who now maintain successful singing careers.” Sarah grew up on a cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon, where she spent a lot of time on horseback or helping out in her mother’s huge garden. Music was “ever-present” in the family. National Public Radio’s Performance Today was always playing, and her mom played the flute. “My first understanding of harmony came from singing hymns in the front pew, hearing my brother and dad sing bass, my mom and sisters sing alto and sometimes tenor while I sang soprano,” said Sarah. The family would sing on road trips, and after long days of working on the ranch, her “Dad would sing to keep our spirits up.” Sarah joined the Treasure Valley Children’s Chorus in Ontario when she was ten and also played trumpet in jazz and pep bands in middle and high school. She studied music at Berea College in Kentucky where she fell in love with pedagogy (teaching) as a senior. Then, another epiphany. “Just after graduating, I experienced some vocal health issues due to
30 To Advertise With Active Media, Call 503.825.2111
laryngopharyngeal reflux,” she said. Working with a professional voice specialist in Ohio, Sarah became “completely smitten with the world of voice care.” “It was immediately obvious to me that this is my purpose,” she said. “I’ve been teaching ever since.” She earned her doctorate at Shenandoah Conservatory in Virginia, and even before she moved to Portland about 15 years ago, Sarah had already instructed hundreds of students. Along with teaching in her private studio, Sarah currently accepts referrals from the OHSU Voice Clinic, works with laryngologist Dr. James Thomas of voicedoctor.net in Portland, and teaches at the University of Portland. Her students regularly win awards, scholarships, and are cast in leading roles in musicals and perform professionally around the world. Today, new students can reach out to Sarah through her website, themainestudio. musicteachershelper.com. The process begins with an email conversation about the student’s history, experience and goals. If the fit seems right, an initial lesson is scheduled so Sarah can assess the student’s voice and they can talk more about goals. When not teaching voice instruction, she’s also an active union member of the Portland Opera Chorus and performs regularly with the Resonance Ensemble, Fear No Music, and is active in the Portland area musical theater scene.
