14.      Next Wednesday Morning Meeting – Aug 18, 2010, Mo’s, 8am. Show & Tell by the Chamber Marketing Committee. Mo’s will be open for breakfast.

Bring your own coffee cup. The coffee is still courtesy of Mo’s.

 

1.     Show & Tell by Susan Lanker, D.C.  / Pacific Way Wellness Center. Activator Chiropractic, Sacral Cranial Therapy. 1289 Pacific Way, Gearhart. www.DrLanker.com 503-738-9796. Alignment is key to keeping the body in good working condition. The brain spends 70% of the time on organs and 30% on pain. Pain is not always the best indicator of problems. Correct posture can make a big difference. Think of the body as three balls – the hips, the torso and the head. The balls need to be balanced nicely on top of each other. Roll the hips forward. Roll the torso back . Roll the head up slightly. If standing for a long period, find something to put one foot up on. When asked, Tim suggested for posture, to think of the body hanging from a hook connected at the sternum without doing anything special with the shoulders. When working at a desk or computer, stop every 40 minutes and stretch the opposing muscle groups – lean back and stretch the torso, arms and hands back. To relieve carpel tunnel pain, press the elbow against the wall, palm down, and push against the fingers. 

2.     George: About 10 years ago carpel tunnel pain developed in George’s right arm. It started off with pain when using the mouse, but progressed into constant pain that encompassed the entire arm and more. SAIF offered a workshop on Repetitive Motion Syndrome which taught George how to overcome his carpel tunnel pain. Even before the workshop, he had switched to using the mouse with his left hand. The workshop instructed him to 1. Keep his feet flat on the floor with the upper leg parallel to the ground. 2. Have the keyboard and mouse at a height and position so as to allow the arms to be parallel to the ground. 3. Keep his wrists from resting on anything, especially something hard or sharp. Pressure aggravates the situation. 4. Position the center of the monitor at eye level. Using these techniques, George’s pain went away and has not come back. 

3.     George: Monday’s Tourism and Arts Work Session, led by Rich Mays and Stephanie McGuire, was attended by 21 people representing 7 groups. Rich and Stephanie emphasized their willingness to answer questions and assist in the completion of the application forms. The projected $210K (less a 10% reserve) will be distributed in increments by quarter with approx 40% coming from the quarter ending Sept 30 (to be distributed mid November). Funding will be by project, not by group. The application deadline, originally set for Sept 1, was extended to Sept 10 by Rich in response to requests from those attending who pointed out the burden of doing this during peak season. Rich stressed the importance of getting applications in as early as possible so that he and/or Stephanie could review them and point out shortcomings. 

4.     Kristine: With the goal of Tourism and Arts Fund applicants working together collaboratively, a meeting of all the groups should be held. It would be a chance for groups to see where they could help each other.   

5.     Wendy: November 12-14, 2010 will be this year’s Women Only Weekend.  

6.  Susan: Bruce’s Candy Kitchen will be donating proceeds from sale of taffy next Wednesday (August 18 ) to VOCA (Victory Over Child Abuse).  

7.  Michael: Sue Meyers and Jeff Jewel will be guests on Michael KMUN radio program Friday at 930 am. The program will focus on “The Selling of Cannon Beach”  

8.  Ken: Coast River Business Journal is putting together a stand-alone, 5”x12” guide to Meeting and Event Space in the area. Free listings are available. Deadline is Aug 13.  To be included -  503-325-2999 admin at crbizjournal.com. 

9.  Debbie: Stephanie and Ryan Snyder’s home burned over the weekend. The family escaped without harm but lost much of their belongings to fire and smoke. They and house guests were awakened at 2am by heat and smoke alarms. The fire is suspected to have been started by a golf cart charging in the garage. 

10.  Jeff: Michael Orwick is producing the art for the SWAF poster. SWAF is set for Nov 5-7.

11.  Jeff: Jeff has been hosting travel writers from around the world. Next week two are coming from Virgin Atlantic (parent of Virgin Records, etc)

12.  Jeff: Jeff was interviewed twice for the LA Times article which included Cannon Beach and featured photography by George Vetter. http://www.latimes.com/travel/la-tr-stroll-20100808,1,6667171.story. 

13.  Wendy: The Public Works Department has called attention to problems created by people feeding wild animals. These animals become dependent on these handouts and are not able to survive without it. In lieu of an ordinance (and fine) to stop this, the City is opting to educate people about the problems created by this practice.    

14.  Next Wednesday Morning Meeting – Aug 18, 2010, Mo’s, 8am. Show & Tell by the Chamber Marketing Committee. Mo’s will be open for breakfast.

1.     Three new faces today. Lori Courtwright / Bank of Astoria CB Branch Mgr lcourtwright at bankofastoria.com. Karrie Purdom / Bank of Astoria CB Teller kpurdom at bankofastoria.com. Ken Heman / Coast River Business Journal ken at crbizjournal.com. 

2.     Tracy Abel: Lush Wine bar in Midtown offers an “Open Forum” for music. They also have pet friendly outdoor seating.    

3,     Jim Kingwell: Icefire Glassworks is having their annual Seconds Sale on September 4. 

4.     Stephen Malkowski: The Culinary Arts Association will be announcing an open organizational meeting soon. All restaurants, chefs and interested parties are encouraged to come.

5.     Stephen Malkowski (Arch Cape) has been appointed to the Clatsop County Planning Commission. Congrats!   

6.     Jennifer Williamson: Yesterday’s Farmer’s Market saw 2207 visitors. The summer fruit is peaking. The peaches and cherries got rave reviews. Don’t miss out next Tuesday. 2-6pm. Midtown parking lot.  

7.  Tim Krupa: Rod Eichenberger, who has taught choral conducting throughout the world as a member of three universities and as a guest artist at workshops and seminars, is headlining a workshop of 135 people coordinated by George Fox University this week at the Elementary School Auditorium. The week culminates with a concert Friday Night. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/02/prweb3549774.htm.  

8.  George Vetter: In communication with the PSU Music Department earlier this year, George was told that a new director was taking over and there was not time to coordinate/organize a Summer Music program in Cannon Beach this year but that it was being looked at for 2011. Margo Dueber and others brought up the challenges PSU had in the past with finding housing for their students..  

9.  Tim Krupa: A new committee at the Chamber headed by Tracy Abel – “Membership Relations” has been formed to work on improving chamber member relations. Being considered is a monthly breakfast meeting where a hardy breakfast is made available and members (and friends) have a WMM style sit-down. Tracy suggested that this replace the WMM once per month. George supported the idea of Chamber breakfast gathering, but in addition to the regular WMM rather than in place of it. He pointed out that the idea of moving the meeting around had been discussed previously and that the group consensus was to keep it consistently in one location to avoid confusion. He felt that the Chamber could use the WMM as it is to accomplish the goal of improving Member Relations. Dianna Pappas expressed concern that having it become a Chamber Meeting once a month could undermine the momentum and energy that the WMM has going. Kathy Kleczek felt it important to keep the WMM and the Chamber separate. Others agreed and encouraged the Chamber to have this monthly breakfast on a morning other than Wednesday. Tim took a poll of preferred days.    

10.  George: City Manager Rich Mays and City Employee Stephanie McGuire will be conducting a workshop at City Hall on Monday at 2pm to assist Tourism and Arts Commission Fund applicants with their applications. http://www.dailyastorian.com/Main.asp?SectionID=2 <http://www.dailyastorian.com/Main.asp?SectionID=2&ArticleID=72327> &ArticleID=72327 

11.  Dianna Pappas: The Stormy Weather Arts Festival (SWAF) committee is needing to know who would like to host musicians during the 2010 SWAF. Indoor venues are being sought. The musicians will be paid by the SWAF (Chamber) Committee. E-mail Dianna jpsatcannonbeach at yahoo.com.  

12.  Tracy Abel: The City has updated and reprinted the Visitor Maps. Pick them up at the Chamber. See the map online at http://www.coastexplorermagazine.com/vm_cbmap/current

1.     One new face today. Cleve Rooper / Fire Chief / Cannon Beach Volunteer Fire Dept. http://cbfire.com <http://cbfire.com/> . 503-436-2949 - Fax 503-436-9639 

2.     Tim Krupa: As Chamber president, Tim is charged with (upon Board approval) committee appointments. He has been working on this. The Marketing Committee will be headed by Kristine Gottsch with Scott Kruickshank and Jim McDonald as members. Tim will continue with the Website for the time being. Kelli Truax Taylor will head the Events Committee (Oversight committee for all events) with Brian Olson on that committee so far. As Treasurer, Scott will head the Finance Committee. Membership so far is Tracy Abel and Sue Meyers.    

3,   Tim Krupa: 72 surveys were returned to the Chamber. The first item on the survey was to list the top three strengths. 90% chose Natural Environment and the Beach. 60% chose the Arts.  For weaknesses, 41% chose parking and 30-some% chose weather. 52% felt that the best new event would be a music festival. DVA Advertising and Public Relations is using all the survey input to formulate a marketing plan. A tag line being considered is “Come for the Ocean, Stay for the Rest”

4.    Tim Krupa: Tim’s list of top Chamber priorities are 1. Finances. 2. Website. 3. Marketing. 4. Member Relations 5. Events.

5.     George Vetter: George read the e-mail/news release sent out by CBBA announcing that they will continue their work till Sept 30th and will then dissolve their 501(c)6 organization. George also read his reply thanking CBBA for their work, which benefited all of Cannon Beach, In his reply, George went on to say “I look forward to working with you at the Chamber and hope you feel comfortable putting your positive energy, ideas and resources behind the Chamber effort”.   

6.   Shari: At yesterday’s meeting of the Tourism and Arts Commission (TAC), application guidelines were approved and are to be made public Aug 1. An August 9th, 2pm workshop will be held to aid applicants. Applications will be due September 1. A September 13th meeting (130pm) was set to review applications. Application approval is planned for October with the first $ becoming available in November. City Attorney, Tammy Herdener, addressed the commission about conflict of interest stating that if a decision will have a monetary effect (either positive or negative) on an individual (extended to their family and partners), then that person has a conflict of interest and should step down from discussion and voting on that matter. Even if there will be no monetary impact, a person should step down if they feel their decision would be influenced by their relationships or position. A volunteer board member who is not paid does not necessarily have a conflict of interest, although Tammy did recommend that the Chair of a Board should step down. At the TAC meeting George brought up the unique nature of this particular commission in that they would be working with a fixed amount of money and that any vote to fund one applicant would take funds away from another applicant. The only conflict of interest identified at the TOC meeting was that of John Grosshuesch who chairs the Coaster Theatre board. See Nancy McCarthy’s account of the meeting at http://www.dailyastorian.com/Main.asp?SectionID=2 <http://www.dailyastorian.com/Main.asp?SectionID=2&ArticleID=72192> &ArticleID=72192. 

7.  Stephen Malkowski: A new local group is forming. The Cannon Beach Culinary Arts Association is coordinating with the Chamber in the “branding” of Cannon Beach. We have the visual arts, the performing arts and also the culinary arts. For info contact westhighlandproperties at yahoo.com. 

8.  Wendy: Zipcar is the world's largest car sharing and car club service. It is an alternative to traditional car rental and car ownership. Share Zipcars in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, London, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, San Francisco, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver and Washington DC. Cannon Beach has a designated/reserved Zipcar parking space on Spruce St. next to the Chamber. George says he drives or walks past that space nearly daily and just last week, for the first time he saw a car parked there – a Zipcar. Always looking for the unusual, he photographed it. It was just an ordinary car, but it was there, in that parking space that has sat vacant for months. With George’s recent report of how he has witnessed a parking space on Hemlock turn over 8 times in a day, he questioned the benefit in tying up such a valuable space for so seldom a use.  

9.  Stephen: After recently witnessing a large RV pulling a car through downtown, Stephen compared it to a Cruise ship pulling into a harbor with small boats. He suggested we look for ways to route RV’s away from Downtown. George said he was recently approached by a downtown merchant who suggested that parking for RV’s be developed off the Midtown exit and that the shuttle be used.  

10.  Kathy: People are not using the Shuttle in the way they could or should because the schedule is not posted or distributed properly. As a community, we need to do a better job of promoting our Shuttle. And we need to do a better job of promoting the bus service to and from Portland and the airport there. (see links on www.cannon-beach.net <http://www.cannon-beach.net/> ) Schedules and be printed or you can pick them up at City Hall or from the Shuttle.

11.  Kathy: ODOT has begun it’s PR about the 2011 tunnel closure. They were at our Farmer’s Market yesterday with a booth answering question and handing out info. Kathy is concerned that their efforts may be focused too much on people on this side of the tunnel. http://dennisedwardstunnel.org/?p=project-information. 

12.  Cleve Rooper, Fire Chief. Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue is a volunteer organization (other than the Chief and the Marshall). Volunteers are dwindling – down 30%. Please spread the word of the need. Volunteers must be 18 years of age and capable of passing a physical test to accomplishing tasks typical of fire fighters. There is no upper age limit. Volunteers must be able to leave whatever they are doing when called upon and must be available for Wednesday evening meetings and training. There are 300-400 calls per year. Beside the satisfaction of helping those in time of need, volunteers have the benefit of a workout facility at the Fire Hall. 

13.  Stephen: The County Planners will be in Arch Cape at the Fire House for a public meeting Friday at 6pm regarding Short Term Rentals.

14.  Next Wednesday Morning Meeting – Aug 4, 2010, Mo’s, 8am – Show & Tell by ? (see upcoming list below). Mo’s will be open for breakfast.

9.  Dr Nancy “Red” Carritte / 5 Things to Know about Managing Change. 1. Change is constant: it will always be there. Expect it. Embrace it. 2. Resisting and feeling defensive toward change are harmful to your health. 3. Change can be exciting: it is the only way to grow. 4. Know how to manage change. Practice the things that calm you to minimize the stress resulting from change. Take four 5-minute breaks everyday with your hands folded, eyes closed, visualizing a happy place. Put everything else out of your mind. 5. Expect resistance to change. When causing change for others, always give them the big picture. In business, if you don’t change, you can expect a 2% drop per year. Differentiate yourself from your competition. For consulting or just to talk: www.DrNancy.com, DrNancy at DrNancy.com 503-440-5557.

13.  George: Someone e-mailed this morning asking if there is a book about the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest. No one was aware of such a book. George mentioned the Library of Congress Local Legacies page at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/diglib/legacies/OR/200002927.html. Former Senator Gordon Smith had submitted that info after consultation with Billie Atherton. George says when he came to town in 1977 he was told by Margaret Atherton and Miriam Crowell that they started the event. It was agreed that Bill Steidel and Treva Haskell would likely know the history.

14.  Kristine: Question: Is it too idealistic to think that all the groups who will be applying for Tourism and Arts Commissio (TAC) funds could get together to discuss what their goals are and how they can work together? Robin, who is on the TAC, says collaboration is encouraged in the guidelines.
