> 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 S Hemlock, Box 1292, Cannon
> Beach, OR 9711, 503-436-2255, www.cannonbeachacupuncture.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:

> 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.”

>
> 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
>
> 4. Wendy: The February Chamber Business After Hours is tomorrow
> (Thursday) 430p at Lodges at Cannon Beach (next to Inn at Cannon Beach) in

> shared that his downtown, one-unit motel, Inn at Village Centre, is still
