7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2018 Makers: Group looking for anchor tenant to rent retail space ing list of about 50 people look- ing for space, Eiter said. After an initial walk-through, most of the spaces were rented out immediately. “It’s a pretty good group,” Eiter said. “The idea was to have dedicated art space, but a variety.” Astoria Makers is still finish- ing the basement, where artist Yoshi Moro has set up a paint- ing studio. The group is also still looking for the anchor tenant to rent the building’s corner retail space at 10th and Duane streets, but is waiting for one who fits Astoria Makers’ mission of art and creativity, Eiter said. The upstairs studios of the Van Dusen Building will be open during Second Saturday Art Walk on Dec. 8 for the pub- lic to meet the artists and view their work in a pop-up gallery. Long is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and starting youth and adult ceramics classes in January. Those involved in the build- ing hope its creative juices will help draw more visitors to the western side of downtown, similar to the Astoria Arts and Movement Center. “This building can help revi- talize and get people to come down here,” Eiter said. Continued from Page 1A A main component of the building was to be a member- ship-driven, collaborative mak- erspace for light manufactur- ers, similar to others in larger cities. But the costs and staff- ing needed to make the con- cept work were too high, Her- man said. “We were going to have the elaborate membership program, but that will be more organic now,” he said. Herman still runs Astoria Makers, a small manufacturing shop on the main floor taking on projects such as Fort George’s tap handles. He has gleaned his co-workers from Clatsop Com- munity College’s historic pres- ervation program and others interested in the building. Lief Stewart, who is plan- ning an electronics repair lab in the basement, said he was walk- ing by the Van Dusen Building one day and became interested in the work going on inside. He has since joined the staff and has been working with Her- man on other projects such as remote-controlled, experimen- tal LED lighting made from laser-cut plywood. “The eventual idea is to start my own business, with the stu- Hannah Phelps sands a tap handle at Astoria Makers. who rented a studio to make wax canvas and leather bags for his accessory company, Wheeler Bag Co. “I learned to sew from my dad,” Wheeler said. “He makes boat covers and tents.” Wheeler tired of being a graphic designer several years ago and melded his interests into an accessory company sell- ing online and at stores around the U.S. Recently relocated from Portland, Wheeler was looking to take the business out of his basement and ended up renting a small studio from Astoria Makers. “It’s really fun to run into other artists,” Wheeler said of the communal feel of the upstairs studios, complete with a lounge and kitchen. When they started gauging interest in the Van Dusen Build- ing, Astoria Makers had a wait- Photos by Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Audrey Long was one of the first tenants to take advantage of the space. dio backing that,” Stewart said. “I know Glen is very supportive of that entrepreneurial mindset around here.” One of Astoria Makers’ first tenants was Long, who opened her pottery studio over the sum- mer. A potter for the last 17 years, she came to Astoria by way of Detroit and Miami. She was looking at buildings for her studio when she met Herman. Long has helped build out the Van Dusen Building and enjoys the collaborative nature of individual tenants. “I think it adds a lot to Astoria to have a large cooperative of artists,” she said. All but two of the 13 upstairs studios have been rented out to local artists and other pro- fessionals. Often the noisiest among them is Nick Wheeler, Knappa: Students, staff, principals looked at educational needs Continued from Page 1A Several school districts have recently passed large school improvement and con- struction bonds, including nearly $100 million for a new K-12 campus in Seaside; $38.5 million for a master cam- pus and new middle school in Warrenton; and $70 million in Astoria for school improve- ments and a new academic wing at the middle school. County voters also approved a $20 million bond to move the Clatsop County Jail in Astoria to a former state youth prison in Warrenton. The Knappa School Board last year hired Portland firm DOWA-IBI Group to assess building needs after the school district received $55,000 in state grants. The company recently issued a final report detailing nearly $4.9 million in needed remodels and upgrades at Knappa High School and more than $3.8 million at Hilda Lahti Elementary School, including nearly $4 million combined to upgrade heating and ventilation sys- tems. The firm also found $3.8 million needed in surrounding infrastructure improvements and nearly $4 million for safety and security, including more than $2.7 million to seis- mically upgrade the schools to withstand a large earthquake. The report also laid out the potential cost of building a new 6,000-square-foot aca- demic hall for middle school- ers in the K-8 Hilda Lahti campus at $2.5 million, a 9,000-square-foot multipur- pose room for $2.9 million and a 15,000-square-foot multipur- pose room for $5.1 million. The state grants also paid for a public outreach cam- paign. The school district assembled a committee of 21 students, 21 staff, two princi- pals and Johnson to look at the district’s educational needs. The committee’s recommen- trict’s biggest needs. Cullen Bangs, vice chair- man of the school board, said the school district only has a certain bond amount it can reach. “Looking through the list, you start hitting on the things that really need to be done, and there’s not a lot left,” he said. “It’s going to be down to a couple items here and there, and that’s where we’ll need to make a decision.” Board member Ed Johnson dations focused on improv- ing the district’s career-techni- cal and technology offerings; partnering with Clatsop Com- munity College and local industries; and improving the buildings’ physical environ- ment and security. With a list of needs vastly outstripping any realistic bond measure, school board mem- bers asked Johnson to gather more input from community and staff as to the school dis- cautioned that some people are already throwing cold water on the possibility of a new bond after the existing one expires. “I’ve already heard com- ments … from community members saying, ‘Ah, you know, that school board. As soon as this bond expires, they’ll just want to pass another one,’” he said. “So you really need to have some good, solid stuff that people can believe in.” Dedicate a Port: Challenge is finding money to fix infrastructure Continued from Page 1A The Port experienced an operational loss last year of more than $1.1 million. The loss was still an improve- ment of more than $100,000 from the previous year and $800,000 from two years ago. The agency is making about $500,000 more from oper- ations than it was two years ago, while spending $300,000 less on operations. The Port previously had to hire consultants to help sort through financial information THE DAILY ASTORIAN T UESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 but has now reached the point of handling the accounting reviews in-house. Jim Knight, the Port’s executive director, credited Finance Director Will Isom with professionalizing the Port’s financial accounting. Although the agency doesn’t have enough money, the public should be confident in its abil- ity to properly handle for what it has, he said. But while the Port has enough money to cover day- to-day operations, the chal- lenge is finding money to fix its crumbling, aging infra- structure, he said. The agency has divested itself of some money-losing properties and recently began looking at new fees for seafood and passing ships to raise more revenues. “It would be easy for us to show a profit here from the staff level,” Knight said. “All we have to do is not spend money on maintenance. That’s the exact problem that’s taken place, and why we’re in the shape that we are today, because of decades of not put- ting money into taking care of the Port’s infrastructure.” Handmade Heart Ornament Honor or remember a loved one.
