Jenee Pearce-Mushen mentioned that blue helmets for children and adults are
available at our local Police Department for Bicycle safety.

Deb Atiyeh brought up the City Council Meeting last evening. It was
declared that September 15 to October 15 is National HIspanic Heritage
Month in Cannon Beach.

The City is exploring a possible option for the Food Pantry at the Tolovana
Arts Center.  Concerns were raised about the convenience of the location
not being centrally located for people who come by bus. Jenee mentioned
that most people come by car and only knew of one person that comes by bus.

Outdoor Dining will be extended until Spring 2023 for the downtown
restaurants.

Haystack Holidays was discussed along with the 50 year anniversary of the
Coaster Theatre and the theme of the Charles Dickens, A Christmas Story
interwoven. The community would like to create a festive event to be had by
all with warmth and good cheer.  As Steidel wrote the song: "Christmas in
our Hometown". Bringing the heart of our community into Christmas. The
contribution of the Coaster Theatre through all these years has been
immense in enlightening the community and brightening the Holiday Spirit.
The CB Gazette would like to join with the Chamber of Commerce in a "Joyful
old Village Christmas" involving all of the businesses and residents. "Oh
Hear You Merry Gentlemen and Ladies"..

Mary Beth brought up that Clatsop County Democrats will be interviewing all
candidates in Clatsop County and posting it online. It will be carefully
focused on City and County issues that are important for these local races
in a non-partisan way.

We discussed the Cannon Beach Gazette putting on a forum for the Local
Candidates for Mayor and City Council, preferably at the Coaster Theatre.
George mentioned that we should do one so that locals can get to know the
candidates. It is something that has been done in the past with a moderator.
Deb Atiyeh mentioned that the CB Gazette would like to receive questions
from the residents on questions that they would like to ask the candidates.
You can send questions to debatiyeh at yahoo.com for the CB Gazette. The CB
Gazette will also be doing a write-up on the candidates and following the
election closely.

Candidates for Mayor are Barb Knop and Erik Ostrander

Candidates for the two City Council positions are Jenee Pearce-Mushen, Lisa
Kerr, Gary Hayes, Deanna Hammond, and Laurie Simpkins; and Councilor Robin
Risley running for a second term.

(Notes today by Deb Atiyeh and hopefully all correct).  Happy Golfing
George, hope you are off to Scotland to Golf, ha ha.

GeorgeV: Actually I'm off to Ohio for a family visit with my mother - 95
and just had hip replacement - doing fine. Such a trooper! Thanks for doing
