style='color:black'> Astoria was the first settlement west of the Rockies.
Had John Jacob Astor not made this settlement and claimed this region for the
USA, it would very likely have been settled and would now be part of Canada.
Following the 1911 Centennial Celebration, left over funds were used to
purchase the property that is now the Astoria Column. Bicentennial buttons were
passed out. Info at <a href="http://www.astoria200.org/">http://www.astoria200.org/</a>.

the Goonies Museum celebrating the movie The Goonies and the 300 other movies

Economy is driving visitors and shoppers. Brian reported reservations up for
houses for summer. Jeff said Info Ctr had 450 visitors Saturday, many booking
rooms, but in the $120 and below range. Jeff said he got the same report from
Seaside. This led to discussion of how Seaside and Cannon Beach complement each
other and how many people stay in one town but travel to the other during their
stay. BobNec thinks CB has become more like Seaside and Manzanita is like
Cannon Beach was.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

warned of a very tenacious Malware program that he is currently dealing with on
a laptop. It is called Antivirus XP 2010 or Antivirus Vista 2010. This malware
pretends to be a virus protection program. It throws up fake security risk
screens offering to protect you by registering – for money of course. The
screens it fakes are deceivingly similar to legitimate ones. The malware
disables programs that could disable it. AVG Antivirus did not detect it.
According to what George found on the Internet, antivirus programs do not
detect it. This malware appears to only affect the user who is logged in at the
time so if there is a second user on the machine, that user can be used. Once
the av.exe file was found and removed by Malwarebytes, most “exe”
files were still disabled. Where does malware come from? It can come from
downloading software, visiting questionable or unknown websites, and other
sources. Sometimes it will show up even if you have done nothing to cause it.
Be wary of any sites that you visit while online that aren't trusted, or that
you aren't familiar with. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style='color:black'>Bob Necker and Joyce Lincoln / Northwest by Northwest
Gallery: Northwest art by Northwest artists is what you will find in the
gallery downtown at 232 N Spruce next to Cannon Beach Spa. Fifty Pacific
Northwest artists are represented. The gallery opened initially in SE
Portland in 1985. In 1987 a location was found in beloved Cannon Beach and in
1988 the gallery moved to Cannon Beach. Twelve years ago the old firehouse was
renovated and the gallery moved into its present home across from the City
Park, tennis courts and the Information Center. Being on Spruce Street creates
a challenge. Membership and participation in the Cannon Beach Gallery Group and
Chamber has been part of the gallery’s marketing plan from the beginning.
Three aspects of the business are 1. Retail – people who visit and
purchase onsite – mostly Seattle visitors. 2. Corporate – OHSU and
others. 3. Giving Back – financially supporting local and regional
causes. A velvet rope occasionally hangs across the door opening and money is
collected upon entry for these causes. Joyce focuses on photography and
painting while Bob’s focus is glass. Travel Oregon included the
gallery in a video “Oregon Uncovered” which is being aired
internationally. Passionate about public art, the gallery features sculptors
such as Georgia Gerber (who did a recent puffins piece of which 10% will go to
HRAP), Lillian Pitt, Wayne Chabre, and others. Bob is a writer and keeps a
journal, Joyce is into photography, but they do their art for themselves and
not the gallery. The galleries ads in Cannon Beach Magazine and Coast Explorer
Magazine were shared. Reach the gallery at 503-436-0741, <a

The Children’s Center exceeded their goal of $10000 by nearly $1000 on
proceed from the Saturday’s Wine Tour. “An Incredible
success”<span style='color:black'>. George congratulated and thanked Gary
and Carol and all those who worked putting the weekend together. “Savor
Cannon Beach is the perfect event to showcase the best of Cannon Beach. No
matter how good it was this first year, we can make it even better next
year”. BobNec felt that it was another example of how valuable
these WMM’s are to the community. Carol and Gary suggested a Sunday
morning brunch for 2011. The tentative date for 2011 Thurs March 10 thru Sunday
March 13. Jim encouraged everyone to call attention to upcoming events well in
advance to build the importance and to build anticipation. The wine dinners that
were mentioned in the PR for the event pretty much sold out – including

Johnson / Acupuncture & Natural Medicine Clinic : Genevieve was
introduced to acupuncture while in college at Bastyr University, the largest
naturopathic and Chinese medicine school in the US. She had been a lifelong
sufferer of allergies. Through acupuncture, taking Chinese herbs, and diet
therapy she was able to overcome her allergies. After 4 years of undergraduate
work, she spent 5 years studying to become a licensed acupuncturist. She worked
for a time as an acupuncturist at a drug rehab clinic, senior care center,
OHSU, Integrated Medicine Group in Portland, then on a Holland America cruise
ship. She took over Nancy Burton’s business in Cannon Beach when Nancy
moved to Ashland last year. According to the World Health Organization,
acupuncture is proven to treat over 60 different conditions. Acupuncture is known
for releasing neurotransmitters, regulating immunity, changing circulatory
patterns and releasing endorphins. A “needle” was passed around for
everyone to examine. It was much more like a very fine wire than a needle.
Alaina, who had never experienced acupuncture, volunteered as Genevieve’s
subject. She did not experience pain or even feel the needle go in. Beside
acupuncture, Genevieve offers other branches of traditional Chinese medicine;
Herbology, Manipulative Therapy, Nutritional Therapy, Qi Exercises and massage.
A message at the bottom her flyer read “please redeem this for 25% off
future acupuncture visit.” Find Genevieve at 1355 S Hemlock, Box 1292,

The tone at Monday’s Tunnel Meeting in Seaside had changed from the
January meeting in Scappoose. The Truckers Association is now pushing for the
vertical expansion. As is ODOT. About 25 Cannon Beach people were in the
audience. Once again, those who spoke from Cannon Beach and Seaside were
against extending the time needed to work on the tunnel beyond that required
for necessary repairs. Three options were presented by ODOT. 1. Repair only. 2.
Increase vertical clearance by adding 2.5 ft to the top. 3. Increase
vertical clearance by lowering the roadway. Option 1 would be the least
disruptive and Option 3 would the most disruptive. David Kim of ODOT appeared
to be advocating Option 2. Alaina, who was at the meeting got the impression
that ODOT has not done sufficient testing on the roof of the tunnel to make an
accurate estimate of the time needed and potential problems created by removing
2.5 feet from the ceiling. Patrick Nofield and Mike Morgan recommended that
letters be sent to ODOT Commissioners (<a

Radich and daughter Ann-Marie opened Found in Midtown in 2008. Ann Marie had
been in the area and convinced Ann to join her. Ann retired from her Portland
career and took a job doing bookkeeping for Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters.
Found was the name chosen to describe Ann-Marie’s love of finding unusual
items and art. Found is an eclectic mix including local artisans, jewelers,
stained glass by Jim Hannen, wood products, furniture and much more. Ann
invited everyone to stop by. Found is currently open Thursday thru Monday from

TerHar encouraged businesses to keep evening hours this summer. People are here
and will shop if stores are open. TerHars have been keeping evening hours for
years and they add up to more money during a summer than can be taken in during
a typical November or December. The more store that stay open, the more people
will shop. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
