Child’s Play hosts Second Annual CREATE Art Show Chelsea Yarnell Guest Contributor

hen Erica Guenther and Jenn Whyman opened Child’s Play in July 2020, they couldn’t imagine that it would be so much more than a business. “Our heart was to provide a safe and welcoming space for local and visiting families to come together to craft,” Guenther said. “Throughout this journey we’ve found how encouraging it is for families to come in with their kids and engage in the creativeness that comes with making art.” Child’s Play is a studio and retail space that offers classes, take-home craft kits, and art supplies. “We started this all during COVID because kids were so hungry for affirmation,” Guenther said. “It’s also become a ministry of outreach for us.” For the second year in a row, Child’s Play will host their annual CREATE Art Show May 13-15. All the pieces in the show are created by artists ages 3-18. “Last year we had 54 kids and it looks like we’ll have about the same this year,” Guenther said. The event is free to attend at the Cannon Beach Chamber Hall (Friday 4-6 p.m., Saturday & Sunday 10 a.m.-2 p.m.) “We wanted it to be free because our heart is to serve the community with this event and be inspired by art and the kids’ talents,” said Guenther. “It’s so cute because a four year-old will make a painting and it’s titled with their age and name.” For the second year in a row, Child’s Play will host their annual CREATE Art Show. The event will also feature Photo courtesy of Child’s Play a raffle, face painting, and an eight-foot canvas that visiting piper Square (just a few blocks from Beach.

Facilitators of fun and empowerment Chelsea Yarnell

For The Gazette

ack in the 80s, very few women were surfing the Oregon Coast. “Back then there were only four of us constantly going out in the ocean,” Lexie Hallahan said. “Once in a while you might see a woman from California come by, but mostly it was just us four chicks. At the time, three of us were body boarding and one was surfing. I wanted women

to get involved because they don’t know what they’re missing out on.” First, Hallahan pitched the idea of a women’s wetsuit to Hotline and they picked it up. “Wetsuits didn’t fit women really well,” Hallahan said. “You were constantly wearing gear that was too big, and getting cold and that was a deterrent [to the sport].” The second hurdle was boards. “The boards were also not scaled down to fit a womens’

dimensions,” Hallahan said. But soon, local board makers were crafting smaller surf boards. The last step was instruction. “Woman were looking for some guidance and instruction,” Hallahan said. “We put together a two day surfing weekend, it was almost all women, girls, and moms. We put on this really wonderful, women, empowering surfing weekend.” That was 18 summers ago and Northwest Women’s Surf Camps was born.

The Cannon Beach TSP Adoption Process began with a Joint Work Session before the Cannon Beach City Council and Planning Commission, on May 10, in the Council Chambers. The first Public Hearing is scheduled for Thursday May 26, before the Planning Commission, at 6 p,m,, in the Council Chambers. All meetings will be held in person, at the Cannon Beach City Hall, 163 E. Gower, and via Zoom, at the city’s website, www.ci.cannon -beach.or.us.

The TSP will include a prioritized list of needed transportation projects, programs, and policy updates for the city to begin implementing after the plan is adopted. About The City of Cannon Beach Transportation System Plan (TSP) is a long-term plan for managing, preserving, and improving the transportation system to serve the needs of the Cannon Beach community. This chapter introduces the TSP and provides an overview of the purpose, planning process, and current policies affecting the development of the TSP.

Cannon Beach Reads turns the pages May 18 n City The May selection for Cannon Beach Reads is Animal Farm, by George Or-well, which will be discussed via Zoom on Wednesday, May 18, beginning at 7 p.m. Animal Farm is an allegory about a group of farm animals who rebel against their human owners and then seek to establish a so-ciety where all animals can be equal and free. In-stead, their efforts result in a dictatorship. Orwell published Animal House in 1945, as a satirical critique of Joseph Stalin, who at the time was popular in the UK for fighting Nazi Germany. Orwell, a staunch anti-communist, noted that

in writing the book, he had tried “to fuse political purpose and artis-tic purpose into one whole.” George Orwell was the pen name of Eric Arthur Blair, a novelist, journalist and critic. Orwell’s fiction, nonfiction, and essays reflect his opposition to totali-tarianism and authoritarian governments. He is per-haps best known for Nineteen Eighty-Four, a dystopi-an novel that has given us terms like ‘Orwellian,’ ‘Big Brother,’ and ‘doublethink.’ Orwell documented his experience with working class life in industrial England in The Road to Wigan Pier, and

his experience as a soldier in the Spanish Civil War in Homage to Catalonia. He was also a well respected literary critic. Orwell has been described as having “uncompromising intellectual honesty” and as being the “saint of common decency.” Arthur Broten will lead the discussion, which will begin at 7 p.m. via Zoom. Email Joe Bernt at berntj@ohio.edu to get the link. The meeting is open to all and new members are very welcome. Cannon Beach Reads participants decided it was too early to begin in-person

• Includes an implementation plan for funding, financing, and prioritizing projects. Future Growth Cannon Beach is immersed in and surrounded by parks and natural areas. Many people are drawn to the City for the beach and views of Haystack Rock. Tolovana State Park provides a large car parking area for visitors to access the beach with amenities like restrooms and a playground. Local City Parks, such as Whale Park and Les Shirley Park, are also access points to the Ecola Creek estuary and beach. Though Ecola State Park is outside of the City, the primary access is through Cannon Beach. Parks, natural areas, and other community destinations. Cannon Beach’s land use is primarily a mix of residential, commercial, and park or natural spaces. Other land is used for institutions or public works, like the wastewater treatment plant and City offices. Land use in Cannon

Cannon Beach Gazette

Beach is expected to remain consistent based on land use designations in the Comprehensive Plan. Most of the City is zoned for residential development, primarily designated low or medium density. Notable high density residential locations include Breakers Point condominiums on the north edge of Ecola Creek and the multifamily housing on Elk Creek Road east of US 101. The City also has zoned areas for residential motels and manufactured homes, which includes two RV parks. Cannon Beach has three commercial nodes, one toward the north end, one in the middle of the city, and one toward the south end. Each commercial center has restaurants, retail, and places to stay. Cannon Beach has a variety of civic resources, including the Cannon Beach Library, Chamber of Commerce, City Hall, and the Cannon Beach History Center. Cannon Beach Academy is the only public school in the City and is located just off S Hemlock Street, potentially attracting walking trips to school. Cannon Beach is

also home to Ecola Bible College, a one-year Christian school, and Christian Culinary Academy, both at the north end of the City. Tourism is the largest contributor toward the City’s economy. Estimates from American Community Survey data show approximately 780 people were employed in Cannon Beach in 201 The largest industry by far was Accommodation & Food Services, followed by Real Estate & Rental & Leasing and Retail Trade. Nearly 85% of Cannon Beach employees are estimated to work in one of these sectors. While the impacts of tourism are seen year-round, transportation demands are highest from June through September. Freight activity in Cannon Beach plays a vital role in supporting the local economy and services for tourists such as transport of food and retail items.

place to do that than the ocean. It has the ability to transform you; it’s full of power and exhilaration.” Camps, classes, private lessons, co-ed group lessons (surf or bodyboard), custom experiences and more are held May through September each year. “This summer we added a ‘dawn patrol’ session too,” Hallahan said. “We’ll be starting at 6-6:30 a.m. before hardly anyone is out on the water.” Camps and lessons primarily take place in Oswald West State Park at Short Sands Beach, but Hallahan’s groups can also be found in the Seaside Cove area. “We spend a signifi-

cant time with students,” Hallahan said. “We really want to teach them how to surf. I feel really responsible for my students; I want them to go out and protect themselves. Our hope is that when you leave that you can use us as your coaches in the future. We teach all the way up to immediate level.” Early registration for all camps, lessons, and experiences is highly recommended as they do sell out.

City Councilor’s flippant response is not what citizens need What is the responsibility of a city councilor? Is it to serve the desires of city staff, advocate for their community, or a combination? In the April Coffee with the Councilors, my husband, Erik, voiced his disapproval with a planning commission appointee. Councilor McCarthy responded with: “if you want your opinion to be represented, then you should run for a council position or sit on a committee.”.So, although Erik spends 80+ hours a week running a small business, volunteers on the CB Fire and sits on the Chamber board, his opinion is not valued because he doesn’t contribute in the right way? It appears that only opinions that agree with them and support their projects are valued – checks and balances are out the window. The citizens need someone to represent those who live and work in the city, not just for the city. Hospitality is CB’s major industry, are the interests of those who make a living from hotels and restaurants considered when making decisions that will hang over this and future generations? I expect that those elected and hired to serve our community should be doing so ethically and free from

self-serving interests. I am sad to say this standard does not seem to be met by some. We, as the community need to hold them accountable. So, I plead with you, do you feel that your representatives are sticking up for you and your interests – if not, make your voice heard. Hannah Buschert Cannon Beach

to hit the ground running and not spend precious time learning the system. Her experience is broad and adequate to her to continue the job in which she has served two terms and speaks well to the level of confidence in her abilities the citizens have. As the State Representative in HD 32 I worked with her extensively on emergency preparedness and was grateful to have her input on the Oregon Resilience Plan as it was being developed into legislation. She spent countless hours educating herself on the issues and as a result became one of the most prepared public servants in Oregon. Her support and hard work on statewide issues that affect us all was integral to ensuring cooperation among all levels of government on those issues that affect our communities here in Clatsop County including homelessness, the need for more childcare services, and more affordable housing for our workers and seniors. Lianne understands how to get things done and her accomplishments are admirable. She has worked tirelessly with all the players to bring broadband to the rural areas of the county and her work on water policy is timely as we deal with continuous drought conditions and hotter summers that threaten our forests and farmlands. I am pleased to support

Lianne for Clatsop County Commission District 5. Deborah Boone Cannon Beach

We need to re-elect Lianne Thompson I encourage my fellow citizens to re-elect Lianne Thompson to the Clatsop County Commission at the May 17 primary. Lianne’s dedication and long service should give us confidence that she is prepared to lead in meeting the challenges we face today - especially the pressing need for workforce housing. She is equally prepared to confront emerging challenges in a fast-changing world. I have seen Lianne at work, including at a recent Zoom meeting about our vital water resources. Lianne convened the meeting, brought in an outstanding discussion leader, and then stepped back to allow the attending stakeholders - well over a dozen people, representing a diversity of viewpoints and interests - as they began the task of reaching a better understanding of each other’s needs. This meeting was not publicized for political gain. It was a working session, focused on the task of governing through consensus. That’s Lianne’s style. Clatsop County - and particularly the south County

- face challenging times in an era of rapid change, political rancor, and accelerating climate change. To meet these challenges, our County Commission contains many new faces - so much so that Lianne’s two terms add up to nearly as much service as that of all her colleagues combined. I suggest that 2022 is a time for continuity in the serious work of building consensus and moving forward. Lianne Thompson has the skills and patience to keep Clatsop on the path. We can scare afford to do without her leadership in such times. Rick Gray Cannon Beach

Cannon Beach Planning Commission needs more variety in backgrounds The appointment of Aaron Matusick to the Cannon Beach Planning Commission violates the law and strains the credulity of the good citizens of our community. State and local law prohibits appointment of more than two members to the Planning Commission from “the same kind of occupation, business, trade, or profession,” or more than two people “engaged principally in the buying, selling or developing of

real estate for profit.” These restrictions are proscriptive, not advisory. There are no exceptions, nor any suggestion that appointment authorities can choose to ignore them at their convenience. It is an indication of the community’s overriding interest in ensuring that people appointed to this important role represent the community at large, not a particular profession, business, or special interest. As an attorney licensed to practice law in Oregon and Washington, Mr. Matusick joins two other members already on the Commission licensed to practice law, and his personal and professional interests in developing real estate for profit stacks the Commission with four of its seven members from just two professions, law and real estate. The Planning Commission should be as diverse as the people whom live in Cannon Beach. We’re a growing community with big issues that need tackling. The participation of a variety of backgrounds is required to grow our village while keeping the whole community in mind. I urge the City Council to withdraw its appointment of Mr. Matusick at the earliest possible convenience. Karalyn Heath Cannon Beach

Singe Malt Q-Tet live on the Oregon Coast In the fall of 2015, three undercover jazz musicians performed together for the first time, on a stage in Bucharest, Romania in front of several thousand people. It was during that European tour that the group Single Malt Trio was formed. Led by Brent Follis (Ari Shapiro, Pink Martini), Dan Faehnle (Diana Krall, Pink Martini) and Phil Baker (Diana Ross, Pink Martini), the Single Malt Trio combined forces to perform music from their favorite jazz composers, originals and arrangements of modern

pop songs. Special guest, Grammy nominated pianist Randy Porter, will join them for this performance at the Oregon Coast. Randy has performed with many jazz greats, including Freddy Hubbard, Art Farmer, Benny Golson and has travelled throughout the US, Europe and China with the Charles McPherson Quartet. Porter’s compositions and arrangements can be heard on his own recordings: Porter Plays Porter with Nancy King, Thirsty Soul, Brio, Modern

Reflections, Eight Little Feet. Porter also composed the music for the 2009 documentary, Deep Green. You don’t want to miss this world class ensemble. SINGLE MALT Q-TET will play on Saturday May 21st at the NCRD Performing Arts Center, 36155 9th Street in Nehalem Oregon. Tickets are available at tickettomato. com.

The U.S. Coast Guard fined a recreational boater last Thursday for crossing the restricted Tillamook Bay bar in March in Garibaldi. On March 31, 2022, at approximately 11:30 a.m., a 23-foot recreation vessel approached the Tillamook Bar with three people onboard. Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay’s bar watch tower radioed the vessel as it approached the closed bar. The bar was closed due to posing a hazard to vessels under 35feet. The vessel reportedly admitted to knowing of the

After the vessel became disabled, Station Tillamook Bay launched a rescue crew aboard a 47-foot motor lifeboat and towed the vessel to safety.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed today the presence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in a non-commercial, backyard flock (non-poultry) in Linn County – the first confirmed case in Oregon since 2015. HPAI (H5N1) is a highly contagious virus that transmits easily among wild and domestic bird species. However, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the recent HPAI detection does not present an immediate public health concern. “We knew HPAI was coming our way after a bald eagle in British Columbia tested positive in early March,” Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz said. “Since that detection, we have been hard at work communicating with our commercial poultry producers, veterinarians, and the public on how they can protect their flocks. Now more than ever, all bird owners must practice good biosecurity, prevent contact between their birds and wild birds and report sick birds or unusual deaths so ODA can ensure testing.” A quick response is needed to prevent the spread of HPAI, according to Scholz. Background The owner of the affected backyard flock reported the deaths and delivered at least one of the birds to Oregon State University’s (OSU) Vet-

The tasting room is located in the Landing at 224 N. Hemlock. “It’s been so fantastic, I absolutely love that space, the location, the people,” said Cary. “The people are so welcoming and friendly.” Customers can visit the tasting room seven days a week, noon-6 p.m. to sample the spirits as well as purchase product to take home. “It’s a very educational experience,” Cary said. “That’s what we thrive on. We want customers to ask questions and we want to educate people on what they’re trying and why we do a recipe that way.” Fans can also visit the Astoria tasting room (at 1270 Duane St.) Monday – Saturday noon - 6 p.m. and Sunday noon - 4 p.m. or Portland (at 4214 N.

Whiskey aged on a fishing boat. That’s quite the talking point. And it’s what draws many people to Pilot House Distilling. “We age it two years before it goes out to sea,” Co-owner Christina Cary said. “We just released batch number seven of ‘Come Hell or High Water.’ This batch was out to sea on the Maverick which was on the Deadliest Catch.” Three barrels spent over a year out at sea in Oregon, Washington, and Alaska waters. The batch has a richer, saltier, and more oak characteristics than previous batches and Cary expects the limited-offering to sell out quickly. “The constant movement of the ocean speeds up the

aging process,” Cary said. “People do tell their friends [the story] and bring their friends back next time.” Pilot House Distilling is a small craft distillery located in historic downtown Astoria owned by Christina and her husband Larry. Established in 2013, the distillery started out producing basic vodkas and gins, and has now grown to two addition tasting rooms and produce a variety of spirits including canned cocktails, whiskey, absinthe, and coffee liqueur. A Pilot House Distilling tasting room opened this past month in Cannon Beach. “We wanted to be in Cannon Beach for a long time,” Cary said. “We do a lot of markets and get a lot of people and tourists from Cannon Beach…it’s a beautiful place. Making our presence known in the community has always made sense to us.”
