> 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

> 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"

> 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.

> 7. Stephen Malkowski: A new local group is forming. The Cannon Beach
> Culinary Arts Association is coordinating with the Chamber in the
> "branding"

> 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-

> 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

> much on
> people on this side of the tunnel.

> 12. Cleve Rooper, Fire Chief. Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue is a

> 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

> 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
