Hola, George, Jeff, and Wendy,
We had a good showing last night from Cannon Beach for the tunnel meeting.
I wanted to notify you all as soon I as knew about the change of the English as a 2nd Language (ESL) class day. I just received confirmation from CCC Volunteer Literacy Program head Eileen Purcell that it would be appropriate to change from Tues. to Wed. nights, starting March 17 at Elk Creek Terrace for the 6 to 8 PM English as a 2nd Language volunteer class. Thus, except for the local public school break, we will continue to meet at least until the end of the public school year. We decided not to offer two different night classes after all, as a capable adult volunteer has offered to provide some fun educational time right at Elk Creek Terrace with any children who come on Wednesdays. Meagan Hughes and I will team teach. Other new adult students that Cannon Beach or other Clatsop Co. people are welcome to join our class at the Elk Creek Terrace reception room, next to the office on the east side of the parking lot. We are hoping that Ed Johnson will be able to come this Wed. to invite the Hispanics in our class to get involved with Earth Day activities. Ole!
Hasta la vista,
Jeanie

3, Genevieve
Johnson / Acupuncture & Natural Medicine Clinic : Genevieve was
introduced to acupuncture while in college at Bastyr University, the largest
naturopathic and Chinese medicine school in the US. She had been a lifelong
sufferer of allergies. Through acupuncture, taking Chinese herbs, and diet
therapy she was able to overcome her allergies. After 4 years of undergraduate
work, she spent 5 years studying to become a licensed acupuncturist. She worked
for a time as an acupuncturist at a drug rehab clinic, senior care center,
OHSU, Integrated Medicine Group in Portland, then on a Holland America cruise
ship. She took over Nancy Burton’s business in Cannon Beach when Nancy
moved to Ashland last year. According to the World Health Organization,
acupuncture is proven to treat over 60 different conditions. Acupuncture is
known for releasing neurotransmitters, regulating immunity, changing
circulatory patterns and releasing endorphins. A “needle” was passed
around for everyone to examine. It was much more like a very fine wire than a
needle. Alaina, who had never experienced acupuncture, volunteered as
Genevieve’s subject. She did not experience pain or even feel the needle
go in. Beside acupuncture, Genevieve offers other branches of traditional
Chinese medicine; Herbology, Manipulative Therapy, Nutritional Therapy, Qi
Exercises and massage. A message at the bottom her flyer read “please
redeem this for 25% off future acupuncture visit.” Find Genevieve at 1355

5. Carol
Lynch: 24 Wineries are now in place for Saturday’s Wine Tour from 2-5pm
(March 13). $25 Wine Tour tickets can be purchased in advance at the Chamber.
On Saturday, Mar 13, tickets will go on sale (with wine glasses) starting at 1
pm at Coaster Theatre. Pouring of wine will begin at 2pm at all 24 locations.
Participants will receive a glass and a hand stamp. Hand stamps will only be
given to those 21 years of age or older. Look for the stamp if you are a pourer
or host. Wine is not to be consumed or carried on the sidewalks for streets.
Everyone should take it upon themselves to remind anyone so doing. Volunteers
are needed by the Children’s Center for the Wine Tour. Contact Carol cbchildrenctr at yahoo.com.
6. Kathy:
The tone at Monday’s Tunnel Meeting in Seaside had changed from the
January meeting in Scappoose. The Truckers Association is now pushing for the
vertical expansion. As is ODOT. About 25 Cannon Beach people were in the
audience. Once again, those who spoke from Cannon Beach and Seaside were
against extending the time needed to work on the tunnel beyond that required
for necessary repairs. Three options were presented by ODOT. 1. Repair only. 2.
Increase vertical clearance by adding 2.5 ft to the top. 3. Increase
vertical clearance by lowering the roadway. Option 1 would be the least
disruptive and Option 3 would the most disruptive. David Kim of ODOT appeared
to be advocating Option 2. Alaina, who was at the meeting got the impression
that ODOT has not done sufficient testing on the roof of the tunnel to make an
accurate estimate of the time needed and potential problems created by removing
2.5 feet from the ceiling. Patrick Nofield and Mike Morgan recommended that
letters be sent to ODOT Commissioners (http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/COMM/otc_members.shtml)
(Gail Achterman: gail.achterman at oregonstate.edu
(Chair), Mike Nelson: mike at nelsonrealestateinc.com

people will shop.

With 40 people in attendance, and Wendy Higgins absent, Jeff
Jewel was the facilitator of the Feb. 17 Wednesday morning meeting. Notes by
Bill Mullen
Featured Business
Using her website as a template (www.abel2manage.com), Tracy Abel gave a
presentation about her business, Abel Management. She noted that in these
economic times many companies and organizations do not have event planners.
While not “rocket science,” she added that she brings a great deal
of experience to all of the necessary planning details that are required to
make big events a success.
Some of these details include:
Setting up timelines
Setting up a conference office
Site selection
Meeting space arrangements (including breakout
rooms)
Negotiating with hotels (e.g., what happens if
the rooms reserved aren’t filled)
Audio visual components
Speaker coordination
Registration services
Exhibits
Tracy added that while she has experience with planning both
events and meetings, she prefers the latter because of their longer process,
“often a year in advance.” She also added that her company has been
greatly involved with various medical groups and associations that require
continuing education credits.
She was praised for her work with promoting Stormy
Weather. Asked how Cannon Beach might better promote itself as a host
location for such things as continuing education seminars, Tracy said what
makes it difficult is the distance from an airport and transportation. She
said, though, “it’s doable, we just have to focus on it.”
Round
Table
Hoteliers, restaurants and Basket Case all
reported that the Valentine’s / President’s Day weekend went
well.
Jeff Jewel and Gary Hayes spoke about the
upcoming Savor Cannon Beach weekend, March 12-14. Encouragement was given
to purchase tickets for the Savor weekend in advance.
Carol Lynch of the Children’s Center
said they have 19 confirmed wineries, with 2 locations getting their own.
Jim Kingwell urged businesses to promote
“the 12 days of Earth Day” (April 22-May 3).
Gary noted that the Friends of Haystack Rock will
begin a fundraising campaign beginning on Earth Day and continuing through
June.
A tax tip was given that donations made to
various Haitian Relief funds before March 1 could be included in 2009
taxes.
Regarding Haitian Relief, Carol Lynch also
mentioned the Children’s Center’s Soles for Souls effort to
get shoes to those in need.
Jennifer Williamson said the 1st
Farmers Market meeting for volunteers will be Feb. 23 at 5 p.m. at City
Hall.
Jean Furchner commented on the excellent turnouts
the Library has had for their first Thursday of the month World of
Haystack Rock lecture series. On March 4, Bob Bailey, of Oregon Department
of Land Conservation & Development, will speak on the “Living
with Climate Change on the Oregon Coast.”
John Sowa of Sweet Basils: Lite Bites on March 2
(supports United Way)
Jeff commented on the “fantastic Business
after Hours” gatherings. He also praised an article by Nancy
McCarthy in the Daily Astorian on the “Spirit of Cooperation”
in Cannon Beach.
Jeff also reminded everyone that
“it’s really important we go en masse” to a meeting
about the proposed tunnel closure on March 1, from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m.
in Seaside at the Chisholm Community Center.

3, Pia:
The building now housing the Coaster Theatre was built in 1924 as a roller
rink. Silent films were shown in the 20's and later on concerts were
performed on a makeshift stage in the middle of the rink. In the late 1960's
Portland State University started doing a summer series of plays on a stage
they built at the west end of the building, where the seating area is
now. In 1972 Maury Clark purchased the building and with architect Ray
Watkins they transformed the building into the theatre that it is to this
day. Around this same time the annual "Dickens Christmas Play"
became a community tradition, with townspeople dressing the part, and Jay
Schwehr taking on the role of the town's lamplighter, which he has continued to
do for over 30 years. The 80's saw the arrival of theatre director Stephen
Diehl and summer seasons presented by the Mark Allen Players from
Portland. During these early years, and through to the beginning of the
new millennium, Maury Clark continued to generously support the theatre.
Ticket sales in any regional or community theatre barely cover more than half
of the cost of operations, so Mr. Clark's support was crucial to the survival
of the Coaster Theatre.
When
Maury Clark passed away, the theatre became a nonprofit organization with both
a board of Directors, and a Foundation Board whose task was to raise an
endowment for the theatre to insure its longevity. When Stephen left the
theatre in early 2002, Craig and Pia arrived and in 2003 they revived the idea
of a Summer Repertory Season of 3 plays rotating throughout the summer
months.....visitors to Cannon Beach could see any one of, or all three plays,
in a single week. A summer theatre camp for children was also introduced
and continues to grow.
This
year a year-round educational theatre program is in place guided by Patrick
Lathrop, our Educational Theatre Director, who will be conducting workshops and
classes throughout the year, as well as our intensive 2 week summer camp.
The
theatre operates with a minimal paid staff, and depends on the volunteers that
perform on the stage, work back stage and staff the front of house.
Ticket sales still provide little more than 50% of what is needed to keep our
doors open, the remainder coming from grants, donors, advertisers, generous
sponsors, and various fund raising programs. For $500.00, for example,
one can become a part of our "Take a Seat" program. You can
purchase a seat of your choice and a brass plaque will be placed on that seat
with your name on it or an inscription of your choice.
The
theatre is happy to work with motels, hotels, restaurants, etc. to create
packages and arrange for group rates. Performances typically start at 8 PM and
end by 10 PM. Volunteers are always welcome and needed at the door, and
they see the show for free. The theatre does see a need for a
babysitting/kidwatching service that could be of benefit to almost any business
in town. For more info. visit www.coastertheatre.com
