Patrick Corcoran - OSU Extension Service: With all the attention on Earthquakes and Tsunamis after recent Pacific Ocean events, it is evitable that visitors to Cannon Beach are going to bring up the topic. As hosts to our guests we must be ready to "Own it, Frame it and Capitalize on it". We "Own it" by saying "Yes, we do have earthquakes followed by tsunamis". We "Frame it" by saying "The last big one was 311 years ago. Another could happen today or maybe not for another 100 years or more." We "Capitalize on it" by getting trained in knowing what to do in an emergency and letting our guests know that we know what to do and that we will lead then to safety. We need to know 1. What to be afraid of and what not to be afraid of. 2. Where is high/safe ground. 3. How to reconnect with family afterward. 4. To stay out of the Tsunami zone for 12 hours. Patrick is ready and willing to do 1 hour training sessions to groups. He stressed the importance of being trained and ready to answer questions of our guests and the media before June. One tip he had was that even if land and cell phone service is out, satellite service such as One Star would be available. He pointed out the importance of having walked the escape route from the various places that one might expect to find oneself in the event of a quake. George suggested that Patrick could/should work with the organizers of April 20th Community Preparedness Meeting at the Coaster Theatre.

Joanie Cramer - United States Junior Chamber National President - North Carolina. A local chapter of Jaycees is being organized. Jessica Raphael of Suzanne Elise, a former Jaycees member from Washington and her husband called Joanie's attention to the need for a Jaycees chapter in our area. There was a chapter that started back in the 40's, but disappeared in the 80's. Where a Chamber of Commerce is about the businesses, Jaycees is about the individuals. Jaycees are 18 to 40 years old. Jaycees identify community problems and solve them. There are 850 chapters across the USA with 24,000 members. There is an organization meeting today in Seaside at 6pm at the Pizza Harbor.

GeorgeV: State Senator Betsy Johnson returned George's call this morning saying the three bills in committee regarding motel tax will not get out of committee.

Wendy: It appears that the Motel Tax bills are still in committee, but are still moving forward. George: According to a Feb 15th Daily Astorian article, two Senate bills being sponsored by Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, could change the uses for lodging tax dollars that fall under the current law’s strict definitions. The bills would allow cities and other collectors of lodging taxes to apply them to more general uses, if those uses can be tied to tourism. George and others expressed concern that if not for the current state requirement, none of the lodging tax dollars would be used for PR and that the proposed changes would result in no funds from any future increases being used for PR. BobNer suggested we invite Betsy to a WMM. George e-mailed her but did not hear back so re-sent his message.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>10.

George: The Seaside Signal reports that "A Seattle-based consulting team is recommending the removal of the west bank berm between the Necanicum River and Highway 101 and constructing a 400-foot berm on the east side of the highway to ease the flooding along U.S. Highway 101. Consultants are also recommending crews construct berms at the RV Park and Beerman Creek or raise a portion of the highway, along with constructing a berm north of Beerman Creek and a berm/floodwall on Dooley Bridge. "Our overall goal is to provide uninterrupted function of Highway 101 during most years and to reduce the frequency and severity of flooding," said Vaughn Collins, senior engineer for Northwest Hydraulic Consultants of Seattle. "We are not trying to stop it." Kathy expressed concern that this was not enough and that more should be done. The project as proposed is to cost approx $500K. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>13 Spring Break: Wendy: The Ocean Lodge filled up last weekend but last minute.

After ensuring his staff and guests were taken care of, he and his <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>family “hung out” on high ground the majority of the day -- “We had about 10 people check out <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>because of the warning and perhaps another dozen cancel.” -- He then related a story about a flood <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>insurance policy which had expired March 9. He was told by his agent that they were covered, but a <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>question still remains about the gap between policy expiration and payment of the new invoice. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Gary -- “I was preparing for our Savor Cannon Beach event on Thursday, driving through flooded <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>highway thinking, can this get any worse? We had a great event on Thursday, the wine throw down, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>then I went home and watched the news. I thought, there may be something. Hearing that what <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>happens in Hawaii would be the first sign, I dozed off. At 3am there was a siren or Jackson pulling at <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>my arm because of the siren. I got up and just monitored things -- social media -- We would do <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>what we could do with social media -- At about 6 we went up to Haystack Heights. -- If you watched <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>the news -- I would have thought it was time to call FEMA -- They were on the extreme side -- What <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>they were doing on social media -- They were saying the tide has receded in Cannon Beach which <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>means a tsunami is building. I got on and sent a message -- “Hey KATU news: The tide has receded <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>and exposed a giant rock in the form of a haystack.” -- We came back down at 11:30 to set up for <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>our next event -- we missed only one event -- <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Brian -- “We had 6-8 houses in.

So events went off without a <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>hitch - the crowds were good for all events -- it is possible especially the saturday event could have <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>been better attended -- <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Bob N -- “It felt like it was 100 people less this year.” <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Gary -- “Not all of the tickets were redeemed for the wine walk.
