JohnB/GeorgeV: The filming of the PBS series “Getting Away Together” by PineRidge Film and TV completed Sunday night. Everyone involved had good things to say about it. The three young couples who were “Getting Away Together” were real life friends, not actors. One is the granddaughter of Patricia Seargent, former owner of Rain n Shine on Hemlock where Windermere just opened. Here is the email that George sent out Monday – “I have posted my photos from this weekend's "Getting Away Together" filming. I was keeping my gallery open between shooting, so by no means was able to be at all the venues. You can view these images as a slideshow by clicking on the middle arrow below the large image, go forward and backward at your own pace with the right and left arrows, or pick and choose by scrolling the small images on the left. iPads and iPhones won't work thanks to the relationship between Apple and Adobe. Find the images at www.Cannon-Beach.net/photos_gv/events/GettingAway-Sep2013. The PineRidge crew was a real pleasure to work with. Producer/production manager Joan, Director Jerry, cameraman Stan, sound man John, still photographer Keith, makeup artist/extra Patty, studio production/extra Cindy, local hired gripper Stephen and local hired crew assistant Jessica were all so friendly, positive and skilled. It was a pleasure being in front of and behind the camera. Getting away together in Cannon Beach - you gotta love it!”.. George<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>9. PhilS/RyanH: September is business/community outreach month for the Cannon Beach Charter School. October is parent outreach and student signup month. A Charter School by Oregon rules is a Public School Choice – open to any student in the school district which it is part of. The school district receives money for each student who attends. When district school students attend a charter school, 80% of that money goes to the charter school. The district still has some special educational responsibilities. A charter school has no taxing authority. An estimated $500K will need to be raised. Until a new school can be built, the school intends to find temporary quarters. Negotiations are in progress with the 13K sq ft Explora Store on Hemlock in midtown. The goal is to open Sept 2014. A Charter school’s curriculum must be unique from what is being offered in the district’s schools. The K-5 school will use “Direct Instruction” and “Core Knowledge” in the curriculum. There will be a limit on how many student the school can accommodate. The first “pool” will take place in October. If the limit is not reached, all those who apply will be accepted. If the limit is exceeded, there will be a lottery. This is by Oregon rule. More “pools” will take place if there is still room for more students. The school currently has 30 people working on committees. Many are not parents of prospective students, by concerned citizens who want to see a school in town for the children of Cannon Beach.
