New at today’s meeting was Seaside’s Les McNary <A
href="mailto:lmcnary@theoregonshore.com">lmcnary@theoregonshore.com</A>. Les
is the guide on the bus that brings cruise ship guests to Cannon Beach and
Seaside. Les says Sundial Travel is contracted for the tours. The next bus to
Cannon Beach is Wednesday May 12<SUP>th</SUP>. For the Cruise ship schedule,
see <A
href="http://www.portofastoria.com/portfacilities/cruise/cruiseinformation/2010cruiseschedule.html">http://www.portofastoria.com/portfacilities/cruise/cruiseinformation/2010cruiseschedule.html</A>.
Buses leave Astoria at 9am. The first stop is Tolovana Wayside for the
Haystack Rock view and the restrooms. Then to the Chamber where guests are
free to roam/shop for about 45 minutes. Les recommends that we have simple
maps available. He says the packets that we have given out in the past have
been good. When asked how he describes the difference between Seaside and
Cannon Beach, he said Seaside is “family” and Cannon Beach is
“artsy”<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Nala / Haystack Rock Awareness Program (HRAP) is city sponsored with strong
community support. HRAP just had its 25<SUP>th</SUP> anniversary. The tufted
puffins are here. Nala observed more than 40 at a glance the other day. The
season is underway. Nala and her crew will be on the beach for all daylight
low tides. 78,000 people were greeted by HRAP last year including 70 groups.
Part of HRAP’s approach is outreach to schools to orient groups before they
get to the Rock. The most common creatures observed are anemones, barnacles
and sea stars. Nala passed around cards and everyone had fun pretending to be
one of these creatures. Friends of Haystack Rock supports the Haystack Rock
Awareness Program in cooperation with the City of Cannon Beach, promoting the
preservation and protection of the intertidal life and birds that inhabit the
Marine Garden and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge at Haystack
Rock. Keith Chandler chairs that group. HRAP has 8 staff members. Volunteers
are welcome. The final volunteer training for this season is Saturday June 5
from 1-5p at City Hall, followed on Sunday by at-the-Rock action. Contact Nala

Unveiling Weekend Report: Motels reported either full or very close to it for
Friday and especially Saturday nights. Kristine, Escape Lodging, said that on
Saturday, when trying to book restaurant reservations for guests, they could
not find anything before 830pm. Megan, Mo’s, said they were slow both Friday
and Saturday, but Sunday was good. She thinks all the activity was too far
away from them. Margo and Valerie reported good business in their apparel and
book stores respectively. [Business at El Mundo For Men was not so good].
Coaster Theatre opening of “Almost, Maine” was well attended as was the
performance at Cannon Beach Gallery of “After Magritte”, which Margo reported
will be repeated again this summer. George reported that his Friday Unveiling
was as well attended as his Saturday one. Overall traffic was good but not
what he had hoped for. Jim at IceFire and Bob at NW by NW Gallery reported
good traffic/dollars during the week, but not what they had anticipated and
hoped for on the weekend. Kathy, La Luna Loca, felt that the crowd was more
varied than in the past and that it consisted of more than just people here
for art. Bob, NW by NW Gallery, felt that the 12 Days of Earth Day had a
negative impact on Spring Uveiling.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

reported that he attended the meeting yesterday in Seaside where a consortium
of State, County and City representatives presented what has been done to this
point in the study of how to alleviate the flooding problem on Highway 101
between Cannon Beach and Seaside. The firm doing the study is North West
Hydraulic Consultants – the firm who just completed work on 101 in Tillamook.
Their goal is to eliminate the majority of the flooding. They won’t be able to
stop flooding that comes once in a hundred years. This was a public meeting
where residents were invited to participate. The study is expected to take
thru this Fall. At that point, the cost will be known and money will be
sought. There were about 40 people at the meeting. No further meetings were
announced. Send input to Clatsop County Transportation & Development

The 1% increase in the Transient Lodging Tax was passed by City Council last
night. It will take effect on July 1. The money is earmarked by State statute
for the promotion of tourism. The City has further earmarked it for Tourism
and Arts Programs. A 5-member commission will be appointed by the Council to
review applications from organizations for disbursement of an estimated $210K.
Up to $21K (10%) will be held in reserve for any last minute opportunities.
Individuals interested in sitting on the 5-member commission can apply at City

Unveiling. George passed out brochures/schedules. More can be picked up at
Haystack Gallery and Bronze Coast Gallery. George, saying that the WMM is his
‘business family’, did a sneak-preview unveiling of a 25x37 canvas giclee -
“Morning Rays”. He then gave away a 12x18 paper giclee of “Morning Rays”. This
went to Angela Freeman who placed the closest guess to how many people are on
the WMM e-mail list (174). The weekend is filled with unveilings – and not
just in the galleries. JP’s is unveiling their new Menu. “Almost, Maine” opens
this Friday, April 30, with a no-host wine tasting in the theatre lobby at
7:15 p.m., curtain up at 8 pm. and a complimentary champagne/dessert reception
following the performance. <A

A one act play will be performed in the Cannon Beach Gallery over Spring
Unveiling Weekend. “After Magritte” is a Tom Stoppard play which is being
produced and directed by Cannon Beach resident, Merril Lynn Taylor. Stephanie
says Primary Elements Gallery will focus on demonstrations with a Wine Bar on
Saturday from 6-8pm. John at Sweet Basil’s will have specials on Friday and
Saturday night. All businesses are encouraged to “Unveil” what they can to
create more excitement for our visitors. Northwest by Northwest Gallery will
charge $5 at their door with proceeds to benefit the Food Bank. Inn at Cannon
Beach and Ocean Lodge will each have an artist featured that weekend. Gallery
unveilings and demonstrations begin Friday and run thru Sunday. On Saturday
there is an unveiling every half hour except during the lunch hour. See the

Michael Burkett - Editor of the Cannon Beach Citizen and the North Coast
Citizen: Cannon Beach Citizen turns 2 years old in two weeks. It is owned by
the East Oregonian Publishing Company which owns several community newspapers
including the Daily Astorian. Community newspapers are doing better than most
because they print news not available anywhere else. The paper is printed by
the Astorian as is the Cannon Beach Gazette. Two local business owner, Valerie
Ryan and Watt Childress, write columns for the paper. The paper sometimes
features those who are not advertisers just because there is a good story.
Michael welcomes calls or emails with ideas and suggestions for stories. He
passed out, fresh off the press, the “Living Green” insert (16,500
distribution), and the “Spring Unveiling” insert (19,500 distribution).
Michael's radio show on KMUN Community Radio on Friday at 930am will focus on
12 Days of Earth Day and Spring Unveiling with guests Jeff Jewel, Ed Johnson
and Valerie Ryan. Contact Michael at 503-368-6397, <A

Patrick: The Council worksession last night at City Hall was well attended and
reached a “cumbaya” (Valerie’s word) conclusion. The composition of the
5-member committee to review and evaluate requests for $ will focus on
expertise with all 5 members being chosen at large. The issue was raised as to
how reservations already made would be affected by the increase. Council will
look at this. Another issue discussed was whether a member or representative
of a group requesting $ could sit on the committee. It was pointed out that
with the limited number of people available in our small town and the fact
that many people are involved in multiple groups and organizations, it could
be very difficult to populate a committee with people who have no association
with a requesting group. The tax/ordinance will be on the next Council agenda.

Bob is currently a County Commissioner (completing the term of another
commissioner) and is running for re-election. He is a Cannon Beach resident
and is financing his own campaign – not asking for other people’s money. Jenee
reported that 20 of Bob’s yard signs have been removed from people’s yards.
All of these signs had permission. Bob’s platform is honesty and integrity in
government. He wants to heal the rift between north and south county. He asks
for your vote.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></P>

Carol Lynch / Cannon Beach Preschool and Children’s Center. Carol’s prior
career was Human Relations. First in hospitals and then in technology. When
her son was born, her love for children was born with him. 5 years ago she and
husband Frank moved to Cannon Beach. Frank gave up his tech career to pursue
photography. Carol took a job at the Children’s Center. A year later the
Director position became available. Carol took it. She is proud to be part of
the Children’s Center. This is the 20<SUP>th</SUP> anniversary of its founding
by concerned citizens. The city put up the land and the community put up the
building. The facility is licensed (State Certified) for 36 to on site at any
given time. Currently there are 41 registered. Open 730am to 530pm, the
facility is divided between babies, toddlers and preschoolers. This is the
only such facility between Tillamook and Warrenton. For many parents, it is a
critical service. Tuition pays for only 50% of overhead. The rest comes from
grants, donations and fund raisers. Qualifications for employees are high,
requiring various certification plus an annual 15 hours of continuing
education. Pay is between $10 and $15 per hour. Help is hard to find. Most do
it out of love. Carol invited everyone to come and visit, especially if they
haven’t been in recent years. 3781 South Hemlock, PO Box 596. 503-436-1040 <A

George: The news this morning reported that the latest stats show Oregon
losing another 400 jobs and the unemployment rate still above 10%. But, Intel
quadrupled its first quarter earnings and anticipates hiring 1000 people yet
this year. Diana says she has had a nice sign in her window at JP’s for 3
weeks and has had just two people inquire. One of them obviously did not want
the job. Others reported similar experiences. Pat Funk says there has been
more activity in the local real estate market already this year than all of
last year. Ben says they sold a fractional recently at Lodges at Cannon Beach
and financing came thru Clatsop Community Bank. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

Rich: There are 7 groups desiring and currently identified as qualifying for
the anticipated $230K of the proposed increase in the Lodging Tax. A 5-person

particular order) 1. History Center. 2. Chorus. 3. Arts Association. 4.
Gallery Group. 5. Coaster Theatre. 6. Chamber. 7. Business Associates.
Qualifying groups must have a direct tie to tourism as per state statute and a
