<p>May 10, 2010 - Oregon Restaurant Association (ORA) membership voted to merge
with the Oregon Lodging Association (OLA). OLA membership had previously voted
and approved the merger on April 13, 2010. The new entity will be named Oregon
Restaurant and Lodging Association (ORLA). The merger will take effect by July
1, 2010. The newly formed association will be one of the largest trade
associations and political advocates in Oregon representing over 3,500 members,
and advocating for 9,000 food service locations and over 2,500 lodging
establishments in Oregon. “A larger, unified association speaking with one
voice on behalf of the broader hospitality and tourism industry on policy
issues not only makes political sense, but also affords us the opportunity to
provide a greater level of service to our members,” states Pat McShane, OLA’s
current chair.<o:p></o:p></p>

Freeman is a licensed acupuncturist at Cannon Beach Spa. Angela talked
about the benefits of Chinese Medicine and the use of the BioMeridian machine
in allergy elimination. 18 billion dollars are spent annually on allergy
related illnesses – most just give temporary relief. Angela approaches
allergies from a holistic view treating the root not just the symptoms.
Patients are tested for sensitivities. Those who have used the BioMeridian
allergy elimination therapy have seen immediate results. Pressure points
that can give relief to allerygy symptoms are 1. Above the eyes a the inside of
the eyebrows. 2. On each side at the base of the nose. 3. Just behind the wrist
bone back from the little finger. 4. The fleshy area between the thumb and
index finger. Children respond very well to this treatment. It is a safe,
natural, and effective way to balance the body. Come tour the spa today!
Special flexible rates for locals. reLax your mind. sOften your eyes.

lowest percentage in Oregon. We are the only place that collects the tax that
has not been spend any of it on promotion. The increase on a high end room -
$300 – is $3. Motel tax dollars in Cannon Beach go to support such programs as
the Haystack Awareness Program, the Children’s Center, Public Art, grants to

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 at <a

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.

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
Hall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jeff: 12 Days of Earth Day kicked off on Thursday with the CB Elementary
students at Haystack Rock with the Haystack Awareness Program unfurling a
Welcome Back Puffins banner. Caps and T-shirts are for sale at the Chamber.
Rich Mays was the recipient of the Gaylord Nelson Award. 12 Days of Earth Day
culminates with Spring Unveiling this weekend.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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 weekend

As a standing commissioner, he is sworn to uphold the law as it is currently
written. 2. Taking a stand now would surely exclude him from discussion and

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

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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
