healthy communities of people, plants and wildlife can all thrive. The group
owns 700 acres in Seaside’s Necanicum estuary. They are working with the
State on litigation for removal of the dike at Circle Creek. This will
alleviate flooding over the road by an estimated 12 inches. Katie is the
director. Betsy is a volunteer.

exist in nature. Puffins with tufts (ours) have black bellies. Puffins with
white bellies (Atlantic Ocean) do not have tufts. The puffins on the poster
have tufts and white bellies. Artistic license is at work here. We do have
white bellied birds at Haystack Rock, but they are murres. As for our
puffins, they are slow in coming back this year. Only 6 have been counted so
far whereas in 2010 more than 100 were here by now. Nala thinks it too early
for alarm.

9. KatieV: Tom Horning, North Coast Land Conservancy board member, joined
Katie today. The removal of the dike at Circle Creek to alleviate flooding
on Hwy 101 is not a litigation or mitigation but rather a cooperation with
the State. Material which was pushed up to create the dike will be pushed
back where it came from.
10. KathyK: Is the Children’s Center going to get the funding it needs?
KatieV: Parent of a student there. The Center is the only State accredited
one between Warrenton and Nehalem. It serves much more than Cannon Beach.
Approx $60k comes from the City Cannon Beach. No other city is supporting it
currently, but the goal is to change that. The cost to students would be
double if not for subsidies. Tom Horning says as a member of the Seaside
Park and Rec, he know they are looking at possibly budgeting $20k for it.
11. GeorgeV: Printing of head and shoulder life-size portraits for Spring
Unveiling at George Vetter FotoArt is about half way done. Portraits of

creeks cleanup, I am asking citizens, businesses, chamber, vacation homes
and hotels to help with this project. If this project is successful we will

Phoenix. He started Business Networking International there – weekly
membership meetings with the goal of referring business to fellow members.
Each person states their business and how others can help them with
referrals. Then those with referrals state them. The dollar value of
referrals are tracked. Only one business per type are permitted in the
group.
2. Betsy Ayres & Katie Voelke with North Coast Land Conversancy: New at
today’s meeting. North Coast Land Conservancy has been working since 1986 to
conserve and connect the unique landscape of the North Oregon Coast. From
the Columbia River to Lincoln City, from the crest of the Coast Range to the
near shore ocean, we work to ensure that this landscape is a place where
healthy communities of people, plants and wildlife can all thrive. The group
owns 700 acres in Seaside’s Necanicum estuary. They are working with the
State on litigation for removal of the dike at Circle Creek. This will
alleviate flooding over the road by an estimated 12 inches. Katie is the
director. Betsy is a volunteer.

7. WendyH: About 100 people attended the Get Lit(erature) event at the
Ocean Lodge. BetsyA: Get Lit was a wonderful event. Not well attended, but
speaker/authors were very good.
8. KathyK: People here for Get Lit didn’t seem to know that 12 Days of
Earth Day was going and vice-versa. We need to cross promote our events
better. SusanBo: The Gazette had featured both events.
9. StephanieA: Spring Unveiling is May 4-6 and at the same time we are
having minus tides. Here is a chance for some crossover promotion.
10. WendyH: Wave energy is being studied by the State to supplement other

11. GeorgeV: For its 8th Spring Unveiling, George Vetter FotoArt is doing

distribution on funds from the City Lodging tax. WendyH: A challenge that
recipient groups have had is getting the money in time for their event and
in potentially not getting what was expected due to a drop in lodging
occupancy. Suggestion is to not fund event with too little lead time and to
budget and fund from money in hand rather than an estimate. At question is
how much should be spent on an event itself vs the promotion of that event.

parking spot and in the rain, with the help of David Marshall, Kim Barnett,
Luke and Paula, it was muscled upstairs where it will be put into action
printing George’s photos and giclee art prints for some local artists.

15. GeorgeV: “How the Other Half Loves” opened last weekend and runs through
Apr 22 at Coaster Theatre. In this brilliantly crafted, hilarious comedy,
two couples in their own homes, the Fosters and the Phillipses, are visible
to us but not to each other. That the characters cross so blithely into
each other's spaces is an apt metaphor for the double-dealings brought on by
illicit affairs. Telephone calls are made to the wrong wife or husband;
idiotic conversations or hang-ups abound. When the hapless Featherstones
are invited to dinner, Ayckbourn's strategic ploys step up another
unbelievable notch. http://www.coastertheatre.com/OtherHalf.html
