4. New at today's meeting: Robert Wayne, M.D., FACS besides being known for
surgery at Astoria Hospital, is known for riding his horse Sensational
around town. He has been asked by the North Coast Land Conservancy to
portray Oswald West on horseback in September for their Walk down the
Coast. He is a volunteer member of the local Medical Reserve Corps (MRC)
along with 20 some other medically trained people. The MRC is called into
action in the event of an emergency along with the Citizens Emergency
Response Team (CERT). For MRC info, contact Lila Wickham

Dr Wayne has been a resident of the North Oregon Coast for 32 years, He has
developed a wide range of expertise in most surgical disciplines with extra
emphasis on intestinal surgery, breast surgery and trauma. He was certified
by the American Board of Surgery in 1977 and re-certified in 1984, 1994,
and 2004. He has a particular interest in endoscopy (both lower and upper)
and laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. See

5. Also new at today's meeting: Kari Henningsgaard, Communication
Coordinator and Pooka Rice, Outreach Coordinator of The Haystack Rock
Awareness Program (HRAP). The public is invited to a potluck Saturday at
530 pm at City Hall.

6. KariH/PookaR: HRAP Report. Ninety percent of our sea stars (starfish)
have been lost to sea star wasting - a disease that has gone on for several
years. This has also been a very bad year for birds. Only 12 puffins were
counted at Haystack Rock this year compared to 55 last year. And now a
hundred or so Common Murres have died and are on the beach. One speculation
is that the water is warmer this year which drives the food supply deeper
resulting in mal-nutrition and starvation in some birds. On the positive
side, two pairs of oyster catchers have 3 chicks between them and are doing
well.

7. GeorgeV: Always a hot topic in Cannon Beach - Parking - was discussed at
Monday's City Council Meeting. The standing-room-only crowd at City Hall
took turns voicing their opinions on the subject after Brian Davis,
Director of Lancaster Street Lab reported on the study he conducted during
Oregon Spring Break on Friday March 31, and WA Spring Break on Saturday
April 15. His observation was that Hemlock and 2nd Streets filled first and
those cars stayed longer that those on other streets and city lots. He saw
many early parkers on Hemlock Street pull lawn chairs from their cars and
head to the beach. Others appeared to be employees going to work. His
recommendation was for two hour parking on Hemlock and Second Streets. Many
ideas came from the crowd. There was general agreement that employees
should not park on Hemlock or Second, and that the Shuttle should be better
promoted, used and scheduled for employees and visitors. Many people did
not like the idea of more signs. Brian said that painted/marked curbs was a
viable alternative. Many questioned whether Brian's study was valid for
Cannon Beach to which he answered by saying that indeed it was. He said
that study after study in towns of all sizes and locations have shown that
two hours is the ideal time for people to do their shopping - saying that
the return on 3-hour shopping was not nearly as good.

8. GeorgeV: I created another time-lapse video - 1776 hi-res, time-lapse
photos taken every 20 seconds merged into a 3-minute video of the activity
on Hemlock Street in downtown Cannon Beach from 815am to 830pm (except
230p-430p - battery died) on Saturday July 8, 2017. Observe the comings and
goings of people and cars on a busy summer Saturday. View it at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkzN2GE2BUo&feature=youtu.be. Links to the
one-minute, 4th of July time-lapse video of 4 hours of parade, people and
cars can be viewed at https://youtu.be/en12zM_bZ4Q. The 488 image,
one-minute Sandcastle time-lapse is at
