City eyes team to consider major projects funds Kathleen Stinson For THE GAZETTE
T
he City of Cannon Beach has been looking at the possibility of funding a variety of major projects, including a new city hall/police station and improvements in the resiliency of the its water system. Those two projects are directed primarily at preparing
the city’s residents to better survive a possible natural disaster such as a tsunami, as reported previously in The Gazette. At a Feb. 11 meeting, city staff provided the city council with a report that discussed the idea of forming a new committee for the purpose of looking at financing options for such projects. “My suggestion is that the
Council appoint another strong committee of individuals with financial credentials to investigate the financing options available to the City,” said City Manager Bruce St. Denis in the staff report. “These folks would work with staff and our financial advisor to investigate all financing options and report back to Council with analysis
and recommendations. “From there, Council could be in the position to set a course for future study.” St. Denis said in an email Tuesday, “The idea is to form a committee of Cannon Beach folks with financial backgrounds to advise council about which of the available options they should consider for funding the various proj-
ects under consideration. It has been discussed twice, but no action has been taken.” The Feb. 11 staff report states: “At the December 9 workshop you (the council) were given a brief introduction to staff’s concerns regarding the resiliency of the water supply. We have initiated a contract with an engineer who will have completed a preliminary

our Paws on the Beach hosted the official grand opening of its new shop in Cannon Beach on Feb. 14, complete with a ribbon cutting, goodie bags and some discounted prices. The store had quietly opened its doors on Jan. 3 for a soft opening. “That first day, we were quite busy and the reception we have received from the Cannon Beach community has been wonderful,” said Meghan Ruona, who owns Four Paws on the Beach with husband Matt. The couple also owns a Four Paws location in Manzanita. The pet boutique carries supplies and gifts for dogs, cats
and their owners on the northern Oregon coast, including variety of leashes, collars, pet food and toys. The owners said they had always wanted to have one or two stores on the Oregon coast, although they had not considered Cannon Beach because another shop, Dogs Allowed, was in operation and they had a good relationship with its owners. “As a matter of fact, we would send customers to each other because our stock was quite different from each other,” Ruona said. “I think it was last March when Dogs Allowed closed their doors. So that is when we decided to look into opening a second location here.” Ruona said she and her husband knew Cannon Beach

he 2020 Census questionnaire packets will not be mailed to U.S. Postal Service boxes, according to the Office of the 2020 Census, even if local customers do not receive mail delivery at their homes. For those who receive mail at their residence, the packets will be mailed between March 12 and March 20, as stated on the 2020census.gov website. The Gazette contacted the Office of the 2020 Census and posed several questions about how people who have no home delivery, such as many customers in Cannon Beach, will receive their questionnaires. The following information was provided by Misty D. Slater, a Census Bureau media specialist: CANNON BEACH GAZETTE: We understand that many residents along the Oregon coast have only post office boxes, so does this mean each person will be interviewed by a Census worker in person? MISTY SLATER: The Census Bureau will mail invitations to most homes beginning in mid-March with instructions on how to respond to the 2020 Census. If you pick up your mail at a post office box or do not have regular mail delivery, if you live in a remote area, or if you live in an area without internet access, a Census taker will visit your home to deliver a questionnaire or to interview your household in person. About 5% of homes (generally, those in more rural areas without home mail delivery) will receive a 2020 Census questionnaire packet delivered directly to their
After 41 years, firefighter Swendenborg is retiring F

rank Swedenborg became a volunteer firefighter for the Cannon Beach Fire District in 1978. His official retirement is this Saturday, after 41 years of service. Swedenborg said he became a volunteer firefighter “because if you live in a community, especially a small community, you should participate in that community in some manner. And the way I could participate is through being a volunteer firefighter.”
Garry Smith, president of the Cannon Beach Rural Protection Fire District Board of Directors, was a fellow firefighter with Swedenborg for 31 years. He said Swedenborg started as a basic firefighter and ultimately became the assistant chief, also serving as a certified emergency medical technician. “(Frank) was absolutely adamant that if he was in town, you could count on him to show up for a call,” Smith said. “People were amazed at the number of calls he came to. He spent untold hours helping the people in the
community. “It always gave Frank and I a huge sense of accomplishment to be able to help people in need,” he said. Swedenborg will announce his retirement during the district’s annual awards dinner on Saturday. Swedenborg said, “We have a very positive relationship between the people of Cannon Beach and the fire department of Cannon Beach. I think the camaraderie between the members of the fire department is a very

door by the Census Bureau. This operation is called “Update Leave,” because Census takers visit, update the home’s address, and leave a questionnaire packet. These households can choose to respond online, but also have the option to mail in the form or respond by phone. “Update Leave” is designed to occur in areas where most of the housing units either do not have mail delivered to the physical location of the housing unit, or the mail delivery information for the housing unit cannot be verified. GAZETTE: What about people who are traveling? SLATER: If residents are traveling, they can respond online, by phone, or by mail starting in mid-March. They can visit 2020Census. gov or call 844-330-2020 for English, or 844-468-2020 for Spanish, starting mid-March. GAZETTE: When will the Census workers start coming to Cannon Beach to speak with the residents? SLATER: Cannon Beach residents can expect to start seeing Census takers in midMarch dropping off the 2020 Census paper questionnaire. GAZETTE: What, if any, are the changes to the Census questions for 2020? SLATER: The 2020 Census will be the first time most people living in the United States can choose to respond online, by phone, or by mail. The results will inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grants for community mental health services, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP.

‘Here’s a review of a really important book’
B
Joseph Bernt Library Volunteer
efore reminding readers of upcoming events and activities at the Cannon Beach Library, let’s tease Daniel Okrent’s new book on pseudoscientific efforts to limit, if not end, immigration during and following the era of the robber barons, and a series of increasingly industrialized wars - the Civil War, Indian wars, Spanish-American War, the Great War, and Franklin Roosevelt’s preparation for World War II. During this extended period - the context for “The Guarded Gate: Bigotry, Eugenics, and the Law that Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants Out of America” - the U.S. shed a Reconstruction-era expansion of civil rights, supported Jim Crow and transformed a sleepy agricultural Republic (one that James Madison and o Thomas Jefferson would still recognize) into a global industrial Empire connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans plus newly acquired territories by rail and Panama Canal. During this metamorphosis, population expanded from 31 million residents in 33 states in 1860 to 132 million living in 48 states in 1912. Admission of the territories of Alaska and Hawaii as states in 1959 brought the nation’s population to 178 million in 50 states. Today, the population living in those same 50 states has reached 331 million. Immigrants who arrived before the Civil War from northwestern Europe, and their descendants, became increasingly uncomfortable with an influx of poor, radical and poorly educated southern and eastern Europeans who flooded urban ports on America’s East Coast, particularly New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore. In 1893, Frederick Jackson Turner, professor of history at Wisconsin and then Harvard, prematurely announced the closing of the frontier when presenting “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” to a meeting of the American Historical Association at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Turner’s announcement came before the last six states entered the union, and only three years after the Seventh Cavalry surrounded and slaughtered 150 to 300 Lakota Sioux led by Chief Big Foot at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Nearly half of the dead were women and children, in what represented the final “battle” of the Plains Indian War. Merchants and manufacturers from growing cities and small towns, as well as intellectuals from elite colleges and universities, understood that a closed frontier also plugged a necessary escape route from urban tenements for “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” With escape routes closing, governing elites and intellectuals turned to lobbying for limited immigration based on number, race and national origin. Their lobbying efforts dominate Okrent’s “The Unguarded Gate,” to which we will return after a few reminders of upcoming library activities. Mark your calendar for the Writers Read Celebration on Feb. 28 from 7-8:30 p.m. at the library, 131 N. Hemlock. Light refreshments will be served, as 12 authors read 13 poems, essays and stories touching on “Views From the North Coast.” This annual event is free and open to the public. Readings will be conducted by John D. Ciminello of Naselle; Emily Class of

Anyone interested in conversations about important bestselling contemporary or classic fiction and nonfiction are invited to attend meetings of Cannon Beach Reads, which are free and open to the public. They’re scheduled at the library for the third Wednesdays of every month. Not long ago, several members of the Cannon Beach Library gathered to produce large quilts as fundraising projects. I know this, because my spouse purchased a bunch of raffle tickets - and a charming child had the good sense to pull one of those lastminute tickets from the hat. I’ve slept under it every night for the past seven years. Every year, I now buy a
passel of tickets, believing that lightning strikes twice. For the past two years and for this year’s quilt raffle, library members and volunteers have generously donated traditional handmade quilts, eliminating the fuss of quilting parties. Some interest has been expressed in producing a quilt to raffle in 2021. Anyone expert or simply interested in joining a library quilting group should call the library

In addition, Bob Lundy will lead members of Cannon Beach Reads in a discussion of Brian Doyle’s “Martin Marten” on March 18 from 7-8:30 p.m. “Martin Marten” earned Doyle the Oregon Book Award in 2017. Doyle loves Oregon’s small towns. He paints them so realistically that readers can just almost barely identify the actual models for his fictional villages. “Mink River” is set in Tillamook County in the imaginary town of Neawanka … perhaps Nestucca and Kiawanda? “Martin Marten” is set on Wy’East (Mt. Hood) near the Zigzag River … but not the community of Zigzag. Doyle confesses only to borrowing the catchy name, but not the existing community, for his novel. Doyle, who passed in 2017, is beloved by readers inspired by his nature writings. Reading “Martin Marten” explains why this playful pine marten captures readers’ attention. Moses the crow is equally enticing in “Mink River.” This editor of the University of Portland magazine

News in brief
Finally, lets return to Okrent’s “The Guarded Gate.” Despite 30 years of dedicated lobbying, research and publishing efforts by a small group of well-funded American eugenicists, social scientists and blue-blooded politicians to end open-entry immigration, only the anticipation of a wave of postwar immigration 10 million strong brought passage of the Emergency Immigration Act (1921) and Immigration Restriction Act (1924), with rigid nation-based quotas. Popularly cited as the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, this restrictive legislation kept the entry of Jews and Catholics to a trickle and remained the law of the land, with some exceptions to quotas after World War II and during the Cold War, until 1965. During House debate on the Johnson-Reed Act, Emmanuel Celler, a freshman representative, mounted the strongest attack on restrictionist scientific rhetoric and the obvious intent to effect “the rankest kind of discrimination … set up against Catholic and Jewish Europe.” In attendance 41 years later was Emmanuel Celler, now dean of the House of Representatives and author of the Immigration and Nationality Act (1965) that President Lyndon Johnson was about to sign into law on Liberty Island.

New ordinance prohibits feeding wild animals
The City of Cannon Beach is reminding residents and visitors of a new ordinance that prohibits attracting and feeding wild animals. The city said feeding wild animals can result in the death of the animal and also lead to unnatural behaviors whereby animals become reliant on humans. Bread, for example, is a poor dietary substitute, given its low
nutritional values. Attracting or feeding wild animals within the city limits is declared to be a nuisance and is prohibited at all times. This prohibition includes a person placing or knowingly allowing food or other attractants to be placed on their property, or public property, with the intent of attracting or feeding wild animals. Feeding songbirds is al-
lowed, provided the food be contained in a feeder that’s placed in a manner to avoid access by wild animals. Feeding wild animals is allowed through a valid permit issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Violations of the city’s code constitute a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $500.

NOTICE OF VACANCIES CITY COMMISSIONS, BOARDS & COMMITTEES
All communities must prepare for the 2020 Census. We have only one shot at a complete count. Did you know, the census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution? Every 10 years, every single person in the U.S. must be counted!
The City of Cannon Beach is seeking applications for the following vacancies:
The census is important. The census counts every person living in the U.S. regardless of age, race, and ethnicity or immigration status.
DESIGN REVIEW BOARD; ONE (1) vacancy to fill a 4-year term immediately. The Design Review Board reviews development proposals that are subject to the design review provisions of the City’s zoning ordinance. There are five members on the Design Review Board. The Design Review Board holds its regular meetings on the third Thursday of each month at 6:00 p.m. and may also schedule work sessions as needed.
There is NO citizenship question on the census form. Get counted!
FARMERS MARKET COMMITTEE: ONE (1) vacancy to fill a four-year term immediately. The Farmers Market Advisory Committee develops rules and procedures for the Market, monitors the Market finances and make recommendations to the Council on Market related matters. The Farmers Market Committee meets as needed. TOURISM & ARTS COMMISSION: ONE (1) vacancy to a fill four-year term beginning April 1, 2020. The seven-member Tourism and Arts Commission develops grant guidelines and procedures, and distributes and accounts for the monies in the “Tourism and Arts Fund” which are to be used by local non-profit groups to promote tourism and the arts in Cannon Beach. Each member shall have experience in one or more of the following areas: public relations, marketing, advertising, tourism, lodging, promotions, events promotion, art and/or publicity. The Tourism and Arts Commission holds its meetings as needed. Applications with questionnaires are available at City Hall, 163 E. Gower Street, Cannon Beach, by email addressed to dick@ci.cannon-beach.or.us, or on-line at www.ci.cannonbeach.or.us. For consideration at the March 3, 2020,
Census data will affect your voice in Congress and shape the future of your community for the next 10 years! The census matters. The results of the census are used to reapportion the US House of Representatives, determining how many congressional seats Oregon will get. Get counted! For more information go to www.Oregon2020Census.gov All across much of Oregon and other states, residents only receive their mail through the Post Office. The census letters/ postcards and paper questionnaires are not allowed to be sent to PO Boxes, but to actual residences. This can be a big problem for people, and a surprise when a Census Bureau enumerator comes knocking at your door because you have not mailed in your questionnaire. To help alleviate this problem, this year’s census can be done via phone or internet as well as by paper questionnaire. If you have access to the internet, you can be counted! So, you can use your computer, your friend’s computer, visit an internet café, library or other establishment that allows internet connection. The City of Cannon Beach will be setting up a computer at City Hall that can be accessed by residents as well. This will be done by appointment and more information will come to you in a later edition of the Cannon Beach Gazette. Additional information will also be available on the Cannon Beach City Website

You once dreamed of driving the tour bus along the route of the Hollywood Star’s Homes Tour but now you are thinking MUCH bigger than that!

Cape Falcon Reserve surveys offer a view of local sea life Scientific studies conducted at Cape Falcon Marine Reserve during 2019 were designed to shed light on the state of Oregon’s nearshore ocean environment and wildlife. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) scientists and volunteer anglers completed hook-andline surveys at Cape Falcon
Marine Reserve for the fourth time since 2014. Hook-andline surveys are designed to show any changes in relative abundance of nearshore fish species over time. The data compiled by ODFW will allow researchers to track and differentiate changes due to natural variation (versus those due to marine reserve protections).

This past year, said researchers, the largest fish caught was a 45-inch-long lingcod. The most commonly caught fish species was black rockfish. In a joint Oregon State University/NOAA study on Dungeness crab, researchers found that while the crabs travel long distances, they tend to linger in the rocky reefs of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, likely because there is more food for them there. The study showed that Dungeness crabs will range an average of 11.5 miles, with some extending that range to more than 50 miles. The study also revealed the presence of great white sharks in the marine reserve. Meanwhile, The Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, through a partnership with Portland Audubon, monitored 35 cormorant nests at Devil’s Cauldron in Oswald West State Park, from June through September. Breeding success (average fledglings per nest)
was relatively low in 2019, with one or fewer fledglings per nest. Many factors can affect breeding success, including weather, food availability and predation, said the researchers. In 2019, there was an increase in observed bird predator disturbances, resulting in lost eggs for all cormorant species. Early summer storms, unusually warm ocean temperatures, and late-summer heat waves may have also contributed to the low numbers. The Friends of Cape Falcon also continued their participation in two pelican surveys. The goal is to help define the distribution and abundance of brown pelicans and to track shifts in population structure. A total of 10,829 brown pelicans were counted during the survey.

Stranded sea lion euthanized after removal attempts fail Hilary Dorsey For The Gazette
Oregon State Police staff recently attempted to remove a sea lion from alongside Walluski Loop Road in Astoria for several hours, with no success. The agency said it subse-
quently reported the sea lion to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) law enforcement division, which determined the animal was not behaving predictably and called in the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network, which responds to situations involving
stranded or wayward animals. Despite efforts to herd the animal off the road, said NOAA spokesman Michael Milstein, the sea lion refused to leave. “Ultimately, it was determined that the animal was likely sick or injured,” said Milstein. “Based on our crite-

ria that put public safety first, we agreed that the animal should be euthanized.” Milstein said the top three causes of death for sea lions on the West Coast are gunshots, urogenital cancer and leptospirosis, which is a disease that causes kidney failure.

Cannon Beach Arts Association receives coveted Oregon Arts Commission grant Creative minds at 138 Oregon arts organizations will be empowered by $1,118,435 in fiscal year 2020 Operating Support Grants from the Oregon Arts Commission. Ranging from $3,114 to $29,924, the grants are available to nonprofit organizations with arts at the core of their mission and budgets over $150,000. The Cannon Beach Arts
Association received $4,043 in support grants, according to a release from the Oregon Arts Commission. “We often hear that these are the most important grants we award,” said Arts Commission Chair Anne Taylor in a press release. “They alleviate some of the economic pressure and allow Oregon arts organizations to focus on their missions.”
Organizations receiving Operating Support from the Arts Commission last year expended $213 million, employed 11,681 FTE and produced events and activities that were attended by close to 3.7 million people. Fiscal Year 2020 Operating Support Grants were awarded to: Cannon Beach Arts Association, Cannon Beach: $4,043; Lincoln City Cultural
Center, Lincoln City: $4,198; Artula Institute for Art and Environmental Education, Bandon: $3,635; Coos Art Museum, Coos Bay: $5,891; and others in central Oregon, Gorge/eastern Oregon, Portland Metro area, southern Oregon and Willamette Valley. The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding and arts programs
through its grants, special initiatives and services. Nine commissioners, appointed by the Governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for public support of the arts. The Arts Commission became part of Business Oregon (formerly Oregon Economic and Community Development Department) in 1993, in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the
broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature moved the operations of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the Arts Commission, streamlining operations and making use of the Commission’s expertise in grantmaking, arts and cultural information and community cultural development.

North Coast Land Conservancy is partnering with Lower Nehalem Community Trust on a Nehalem Bay stewardship day March 11 from 9 am to noon. Volunteers will be working to remove invasive plants and otherwise spruce up two conserved properties near Wheeler: NCLC’s Fishers Point Habitat Reserve and LNCT’s Zimmerman Marsh. Primary tasks will be removing ivy and Scotch broom and maintaining native plants, including cutting back blackberry and mulching around plants. Volunteers are urged to dress for the weather and wear waterproof boots and work gloves. All necessary tools will be provided. Bring drinking water and snacks. There will be no toilets or potable water on site. Dogs are not allowed on NCLC properties. If you’re interested in taking part, please contact NCLC’s Amy Hutmacher at 503-738-9126 or amyh@ nclctrust.org to let her know you’re coming and to get additional details, including where to meet.
