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. 10

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

COMMUNITY WAREHOUSE

When A Community Comes Together By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

The whole community came together to create the Portland area furniture bank, Community Warehouse. But what is a furniture bank? Much like a food bank that provides free food to those in need, a furniture bank provides household furnishings like furniture, decor, dishes, etc., to those in need. It wasn’t until 2012 that the Tualatin location began to serve the local community, but the full colorful history actually begins about 30 years ago! Back in the 90s in Portland, the American Jewish community committed to assist thousands of Jewish refugees emigrating from the former Soviet Union. Members of the Jewish Family and Child Service (JFCS) involved in the Russian Resettlement program, in an effort to collect donated furnishings for these refugee families, started the Portland Community Warehouse. Roz Babener, former volunteer coordinator, recalls: “The incoming families had nothing, and they saw their apartments filled with tables and chairs and dishes and beds, their expression of appreciation brought tears to your eyes.” After a few years immigration dwindled, and the JFCS returned its focus to the Jewish community as a whole. Donations poured in, and agencies beyond JFCS began requesting furnishings. Roz stepped up to organize a small volunteer group to acquire community resources and form the Community Warehouse as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit

organization. In 2001, Community Warehouse expanded their services to include those reintegrating from homelessness, immigrants and refugees, survivors of domestic violence, veterans, children, individuals with developmental or physical disabilities, and even neighbors in need.

In those early years, Community Warehouse moved from the YWCA to rental spaces in North, Northwest, and Southeast Portland. Then in 2007, they purchased their first truck to pick up donations. Soon after they opened the Estate Store, at first a weekly community event and eventually two retail storefronts, to sell antiques and collectibles which provided additional revenue to operating costs. After a 2009 fundraising campaign, Community Warehouse purchased the building on NE MLK Jr. Blvd. A few years later in 2012, they realized the need to expand services to Clackamas and Washington counties, purchasing a second building in Tualatin on SW Nyberg St. These days, Community Warehouse engages 200+ partner agencies to serve more than 7,500 individuals annually. Community Warehouse is the current main resource in NW Oregon and SW Washington for low-income persons and families in need of essential household goods and furnishings. They currently employ 25 paid staff members and hundreds of volunteers. The founders continue their active involvement in the daily operations and expansion of Community Warehouse.

FOR A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP! They’ve got our backs ... literally!

ocally owned and operated, Mattress World Northwest (MWNW) is the preeminent mattress retailer in the northwest. As an integral part of our local community, they have consistently served our sleep needs for over 27 years. Sean Hathaway and his amazing team of professional associates are well-trained to match each customer with the sleep system best designed to meet our individual needs by assessing personal sleep histories, sleep postures, patterns, tendencies, and preferences.

MWNW RESTS ON ITS CORE VALUES

At the heart of their business, lie three core values. First, is their sincere dedication to helping every customer get a better night’s sleep. They have the largest selection of name brand mattresses and specialty mattresses in the Northwest, from handmade to 100% natural latex, as well as adjustable frames. They carry every type of mattress for every type of sleeper!

GET A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

A FOUNDATION OF PHILANTHROPY

Third, and perhaps most importantly, is their dedication to philanthropic work. Each and every month, MWNW supports local charities and schools in a variety of ways. To date, they have donated over $230,000 to local high schools and other charities! Giving back to the community is an integral part of what defines this organization.

DEDICATED CHARITABLE SUPPORT In April, all locations will be accepting donations in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This altruistic organization helps fulfill the wishes of children with a critical illness between the ages of 2½ and 18 years old. MWNW is gladly donating to this benevolent cause while also raising awareness by offering to take donations on the organization’s behalf. Please help raise funds by donating online or visiting one of their local stores. Family owned and operated, dedicated to providing customers the best products at the lowest prices, plus donating to and participating in our community is proof – Mattress World Northwest exemplifies the very best of retail.

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX IT!

SEASONAL

By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer

Zootopia (2016) - PG

Not an Easter movie, but it’s about a rabbit, so close enough. From elephants to mice, the metropolis of Zootopia is a melting pot where various animals live and thrive. When Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) becomes the first bunny on the Zootopia Police, she realizes how hard it is to bring order to a city of such chaos, especially when you feel so small. Determined to prove herself, Judy leaps at the chance to solve a mysterious case. She’s forced to work with a wily and sneaky fox, Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman), who makes her job impossible. But eventually the two discover, as a small bunny who was once bullied, and a fox who was treated as a thief before he even knew the word, they have more in common than they think!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

(1971) - TV-G

This 1971 stop motion animated TV special was produced by Rankin/Bass Productions and was based on the 1957 novel The Easter Bunny That Overslept. In this fun and lighthearted flick, Peter Cottontail is a young Easter Bunny who lives in April Valley where all the other Easter bunnies live and work, making Easter candy, sewing bonnets, and decorating and delivering Easter eggs. Colonel Wellington B. Bunny is retiring as Chief Easter Bunny, and Peter and an evil bunny named January Q. Irontail are both vying for the job. But Irontail, voiced by Vincent Price!, of course wants to ruin Easter!

Easter Parade (1948) - G

An Oscarwinning smash musical from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Easter Parade stars Judy Garland and Fred Astaire in this perfect film of nostalgia and escapism. When released it grossed six million dollars, and although six million sounds petty these days, the average movie ticket was 37 cents in 1948! When a Broadway star and a chorus girl fall in love, it culminates with a proposal that happens during the Easter Parade. After his first dance partner leaves, Don (Astaire) chooses a young and naive chorus girl, Hannah (Garland) as his protege. But it turns out she’s incredibly klutzy and confuses her left from her right. Funny, cute, and magically musical, Easter Parade holds up at 74 years old!

Willy Wonka (1971) - G

Probably Gene Wilder’s best movie, and not an Easter movie, but the definitive movie about candy! Willy Wonka, after years of seclusion, hides a handful of golden tickets in random chocolate bars around the world, and if found, children will be given a tour of the famed chocolate factory. Of course, Charlie Bucket and Grandpa Joe are the only good people in a crowd of selfish brats and classless parents, as the group gets smaller by one after each tour stop and its ensuing lesson and misadventure. Weird, fun, and pure classic cinema.

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 22

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION 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.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

P a t io C over P e ople by Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer Photos by Carly Carpenter

f you’re driving around you may spot a colorfully wrapped SUV sporting a large smiley face on the hood. Say “hello” to Patio Cover People, a Northwest company which recently relocated by new owner, Tom Moore. Seeking a business opportunity that would serve the community, as well as provide for his family, Tom found Patio Cover People to be the perfect fit. Tom, along with a business associate and long-time friend Chris McReynolds, partnered together to take an owner-operated company to the next level. Acquiring Patio Cover People in September of 2021, Tom is excited to celebrate the first six months of business with numerous positive changes within the company. Some changes that have been implemented include administrative practices such as inventory management and scheduling. Also rolled out was a new system for delivering the final invoice, which was aimed at improving the experience, providing a better presentation, and offering more clarity for the customer. Other changes focus on superior customer service, better communication in all areas, and creating a positive work environment for the Patio Cover People team. Tom has a diverse professional background in organizations ranging from non-profit to hightech and software. And, he noted, that “once upon a time” he worked for Intel. Tom’s also been involved

in a number of start-up companies and worn many hats. Individual Contributor, Senior Manager / Executive, and Trouble Shooter have been among his various roles. Problem-solving for struggling businesses became an area of expertise. In retrospect, rather than continuing these endeavors for outside companies, he asked himself— why not put the knowledge to use for his own business? Patio Cover People checked all the boxes, offering the ideal platform for Tom and Chris to implement their vision: “Build a business that stands apart.” Employing elevated standards of practice within this constructionbased industry, Patio Cover People focuses on being sensitive to others’ needs, doing right by the customer, offering exceptional communication, keeping promises, and delivering quality products. Furthermore, with a mind toward the local community, they provide an organization and mentorship atmosphere for employees to grow and thrive, to meet challenges, have a smile on their face and a “spring in their voice” as

solve problems and make it better.”

So what is Patio Cover People all about? Patio Cover People installs high-quality daylight patio covers with the option to add railings, outdoor room enclosures, decks, and concrete work to the patio cover order. One prominent advantage of a Patio Cover People construction is the Acrylic material used for their patio roof covers which allows more daylight to penetrate under the patio cover as well as filter into the home. This can be especially nice for the Northwest with its numerous cloudy days. In addition, these Acrylic covers reflect approximately three-fourths of the heat away from the living space which, in turn, creates a more comfortable environment year-round. And when winter sets in, be assured that these patio covers are designed and engineered to withstand the snow-load and high winds here in the Northwest.

Tom stands behind Patio Cover People in the face of any competitor. Given his commitment to quality and service, he offers the whole package: quality installation, quality product, quality service, and a quality experience with a focus on customer experience. He welcomes feedback from clients, and will do everything in his power to ensure they have a positive experience and come away satisfied.

Tom continues to strive to make his business, Patio Cover People, even better! He has more positive changes in the works, and is ever on the lookout for people to spread There are two styles of patio covers the word. Patio Cover People’s to choose from: Shed and Gable. The referral business is growing as Shed style is a simple design that slopes is their reputation for treating downward off the house in a lean-to you right, doing a quality fashion.

Their aim is to reach people who want a better outdoor living experience. Common situations clients seek to resolve are environments that are too wet, too hot, not enough space, pets tracking mud into the house, or simply replacing a rattling old decaying patio cover with a nice new one. Patio Cover People takes pride in their expertise. As Tom puts it, “We
