JOANNE NORMAN & BETTY PINNELL
As an area grows, so do the
businesses. One in particular is
Tiki Treasure Temple, Inc.
Seven years ago Joanne
N orm an & Betty Pinnell
started a small but effective
printing shop in the basement
of their A-Frame on the Sandy
River at Aldercreek.
Growth and expansion was
such that by the spring of 1969
the only part of the A-Frame
that had not been invaded by
the printing business was the
deck around the outside.
When a point such as this is
reached thare are two ways to
go. One is sell the business or
exp an d a b it more -and
expand they did.
At the Aldercreek corner
eight miles east of Sandy,
stands a 30 foot bear and a fire
engine red building trimmed in
white. This is the new home of
Tiki Treasure Temple, Inc. Not
only has the printing plant
expanded but as you walk in
the door you are met with an
international show room of
unusual gifts.
Beautiful hand painted china,
h a n d cut cry sta l from
C zech oslovak ia, everlasting
hand carved wax candles from
Germany (you can bum them
continuously without ever
marring the outside beauty yet
they do not run on butane),
music boxes with the beautiful
music only the Swiss can make
and hand crafted dough people
from Ecuador.

The whole family can enjoy
the Tiki Gift Shop for there are
gifts for everyone. In the little
peoples’ corner are toys from
Scandinavian grown Snoopy.
The Kings Corner is a
pleasure for the men. While
their wives look at the
beautiful glass bells from
Czechoslovakia, the man of the
house can look at the leather
covered decanters from Italy or
a hand carved chess set from
Poland. In bar accessories,
metal crafted ice buckets,
carved corks, steins from
Germany and for his comfort,
pipe holders, humidors, book
ends, and numerous other
items, all crafted and brought
into the Tiki Gift Shop from
around the world.
Joanne and Betty have a
studio area in their business
building for classes China

The kindergarten will be
open during the Welches
School’s Open House on Nov.
25. Visitors are welcome.
The board tries to help as
many children to go to kin
dergarten as possible. Three
half-scholarships have been
given this year. A half
scholarship means that half of
the child’s tuition is paid for the
entire year~it is based on the
need. There are still a few
children whose parents would
like to enroll them, but cannot
afford to, so here is a very
worthy
cause
for
tax-
deductable donations!

Mazamas Have Long History
By JACK O’DONNELL
William G. Steel (Steels’
Cliffs) dissatisfied with the
growing commercial direction
of the Oregon Alpine Club,
which he founded, Sept. 23,
1887, formed a pure form
Mountaineering club to be
called Mazamas (Indian for
goat).
To insure appropriate
membership, this club was to
be voted into being upon the
sum m it of Mount Hood.
Through newspaper invitation,
350 people set-up a tent camp
at Government Camp. Some
w ere three days getting
there...arriving by horse and
buggy and even mule drawn
hay wagon.
A sleet storm turned back
over 100 would-be climbers.
But, 155 men and 38 women
made the summit on Thursday,
July 19, 1894.
The freezing wind forced
most of these to go below. But,
over 40 remained to form the
Mazamas.
1912 - The Road Up.
C herryville Road, now
bypassed, was made of small
diameter logs, split lenghwise,
to
fo rm
c o r d u r o y or
washboard road. Cars in these
days, were equipped with
pneumatic tires, like a bicycle
tire and if you didn’t lose your
teeth, you probably broke a
car spring on the route. The
real test was up the original
Laurel Hill road that began in
ZigZag Canyon and went
straight up LEFT, not right as
it does now. Just sand and
Lava. Being gravity fuel fed
many cars had to back up that
hill.
1923
The first Mountain lodge
was built at Twin Bridges, near
the present Kiwanis camp...and
near the takeoff to Paradise
Park. T his provided the
M azamas w ith 12-month
mountaineering activity.
1931
After 8 years, skiing had
become so popular that the
Highway Department kept the
road open to Government
Camp. So, a high mountain
lodge was built in an open
glade a half mile east of
Government Camp.
The club financed the shell
and the membership provided
the labor. All this during the
depression.
1959
Surviving depression and the
wars. Mazamas were really hurt
when their beautiful log lodge
burned to the ground. The
winter people in the club
immediately pressed for its
rebuilding.
1960
Under the direction of Jack
Graur, the present lodge was
completed.
1969
Mazamas celebrated 75
(seventy-five) years with a
barbecue at the lodge and just
in c id e n ta lly , illu m in ated
Mount Hood with flares.
