North Coast Land Conservancy has been working since 1986 to conserve and connect the unique landscape of the North Oregon Coast.

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.

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.

1. Jeff Wollack: New at today’s meeting. Jeff is a second home owner from 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 electrical energy sources. We need to be concerned about possible impact on our ocean vistas. Find info on the City website at www.cannon-beach.or.us <http://www.cannon-beach.or.us/> .
11. GeorgeV: For its 8th Spring Unveiling, George Vetter FotoArt is doing something very different. Portraits! George has completed photographing 20 individuals, couples and families in his studio under natural lighting. Life-size head and shoulder prints will be unveiled on Saturday May 5th at high noon in the gallery at Village Centre. People were chosen who have been active community members for many years - people who have shaped Cannon Beach into what it has become in the past 30 years or so.
12. ShariR: May 5 is the accurate date for the March (of Dimes) in Astoria. Saturday at Maritime Memorial Park, families and business leaders will join together in the March of Dimes' annual March.

2. GeorgeV: Tomorrow (Thursday) from 4-7p – Business After Hours at Pizza a fetta. Spirits, food and fun!
3. GeorgeV: City Council has a TAC worksession scheduled for April 10th at 530pm at City Hall. This meeting is to review and discuss the use and 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.

12. GeorgeV: Yesterday a 430 lb crate was left on the street in downtown Cannon Beach in front of Village Centre. In it was George’s new 44” giclee printer. Too heavy and big to get up the stairs, it had to be unpacked in a 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. George: 503-739-1415.

It would be a nice gesture for locals to thank them for their participation. George suggested they have a hand stamp that local businesses and individuals could recognize them. http://www.solv.org/programs/spring_beach_cleanup.asp
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

20. SusanB: Call to reserve space in the Gazette’s Special Section for the May 4-6 12th Annual Spring Unveiling – Ad reservation Apr 13. 503-436-2815 www.cannonbeachgazette.com <http://www.cannonbeachgazette.com/>
