n 2020, Oregon became the first state in the nation to legalize the therapeutic, supervised use of psilocybin. According to Measure 109, approved by 56% of state voters, the regulated use of psilocybin will be allowed in Oregon starting in 2023. Measure 109 includes a process enabling cities and counties to opt-out of the program. Local officials can decide to refer to voters either a two-year moratorium or an outright ban on psilocybin facilities within their localities.

Psilocybin, commonly referred to as “magic mushrooms,”is a natural occurring psychedelic used for spiritual, ceremonial and other purposes. Recent medical research has demonstrated therapeutic benefits for people dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction.

The law restricts use to state licensed facilities with trained counselors to administer the drug.

Clients must be 21 and over, and must consume the substance at an approved site under a facilitator’s supervision. This new law does not create a market for psilocybin; and the possession, consumption and manufacturing of the drug outside of a licensed facility will remain illegal.

At an August 2, meeting, Cannon Beach City Councilors decided that when psilocybin facilities become legal next year,

by imposing “time, place and manner” restrictions, the city of Cannon Beach can control where and how these facilities can operate within the city limits.

Other Oregon cities and counties vary on how they are approaching this issue. Clatsop County will impose a two-year temporary ban; Warrenton will regulate the “time, place and manner”; Astoria will do nothing and let it take effect; and Seaside decided on a two-year moratorium.

Municipalities in many rural areas of Oregon have decided to prohibit psilocybin facilities, and will place the proposed ban on their local Composite image shows the diversity of mushrooms from the genus ballots in the NoPsilocybe that contain psilocybin. vember election.

annon Beach City Manager Bruce St. Denis will receive a $32,834 bonus in December 2024, if he remains as city manager and if he supervises two major construction projects through their completion.

The City Council unanimously approved the potential bonus at their meeting Aug. 2.

The bonus equals 20% of St. Denis’ current salary.

City Attorney Ashley Driscoll explained the change to St. Denis’ employment contract that she and City Councilor Brandon Ogilvie negotiated with St. Denis.

Driscoll said St. Denis will not be hiring a project manager for the construction of the city hall/police station and the rejuvenation of the former Cannon Beach elementary school. Instead, he will be overseeing the projects in addition to his responsibilities as City Manager.

City staff has estimated the city will save $100,000 by not hiring a project manager.

The school rejuvenation project, due for completion in December 2023, is estimated to cost $8 million and will be financed from the Transient Lodging Tax. The construction of a new city hall and police station, estimated to cost $17.7 million and scheduled for completion by December 2024, will be funded by the Prepared Food Tax, which went into effect July 1st of this year.

St. Denis will receive the bonus if he remains as City Manager and the projects are deemed to be “substantially complete” by December 1, 2024. St. Denis will not receive the bonus if either of the projects are abandoned at any time before December 1, 2023.

City Attorney Driscoll noted that St. Denis’ employment contract with the city neither guarantees St. Denis’ continued employment with the city, or requires St. Denis to stay. Driscoll noted that almost every city in Clastop County is currently attempting to recruit a City Manager.

City Councilor Mike Benfield expressed concern about the negativity coming from a small handful of citizens, and said he hoped the contract revision would be incentive for St. Denis to stay through the completion of the projects. He noted that St. Denis found ways to finance projects without increasing property taxes. “It’s almost like a miracle to me” Benefield said.

“You’ve gone way beyond the normal duties of a City Manager and the contract revision is not that big of a dollar amount”.

Mayor Sam Steidel said that unlike other City employees who belong to a union, the City Manager position is not part of a union, and his salary is negotiated directly with the City Council.

Steidel noted that the bond that financed the water treatment plant is almost paid off, leaving only the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve bond still to be paid. St. Denis helped create revenue streams, such as

Protect Black Oystercatchers and their Chicks in Cannon Beach!

Deb Atiyeh

For the Gazette

Black Oystercatchers are one of the iconic bird species of Oregon’s rocky and rugged coastline. They are also a species of conservation concern throughout their West Coast range due to the small population size and vulnerability to coastal impacts, such as food availability, human disturbance, and climate change. This vulnerability also makes it an ideal “indicator species” – the health of the Oystercatcher population is an indicator of the health of the entire intertidal ecosystem of our rocky habitats. There are only around 500-600 Black Oystercatchers remaining in

Oregon.

Portland Audubon’s Black Oystercatcher Monitoring Project enlists the help of community scientists to count and monitor the outcome of nests for this charismatic bird, recognizable by its bright orange beak and distinctive cry. This long-term monitoring project has helped to establish an understanding of how many and how successful Black Oystercatchers are in Oregon, as well as the threats they face at individual sites and across our coastline.

This information collected by community scientists has been used to help inform efforts to secure rocky habitat protections in Oregon.

In Cannon Beach, Tabea

Goossen, Jesse Jones of Clatsop Coast Watch and other local volunteers are working closely with Joe Liebezeit, Staff Scientist at the Portland Audubon, to protect and monitor Black Oystercatchers. At this time of year, Black Oystercatcher chicks are fledging and can be seen on the beach with their parents. Fledging can start in early July and extend through late September.

At this stage, the chicks are extremely vulnerable to dog disturbance. When dogs are off leash they can easily attack and kill the chicks before they are able to fly.

Please be mindful to keep your dogs on a leash around the rocky habitats so that we can keep these chicks safe!

Fall Festival, summer reading & interlibrary loan Phyllis Bernt Library Board President

L

ike most nonprofits, the Cannon Beach Library spends a lot of time in fundraising mode. That will certainly be the case these next few weeks with the Fall Festival, which is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, October 1.

The festival will include drawings for bundles of gift certificates donated by local merchants and restaurants, silent auctions for hotel stays donated by five local hotels, the sale of handmade crafts donated by talented volunteers and a book sale featuring holiday and howto titles.

Ticket sales for the gift certificate drawings and bidding for the hotel stays will begin September 1 and will continue through the day of the festival. Because the pandemic delayed planning for the festival, the date has been moved from the traditional fourth Saturday in September to the first Saturday of the following month, October 1.

The purpose of fundraising efforts like the Fall Festival is to enable the library to fulfill its mission, which is to be a resource for books and other reading material for community use; to promote literacy and love of reading; and to sponsor activities that build fellowship in the community.

This summer the library has gone a long way toward realizing the goal of promot-

ing literacy and love of reading, thanks to the hard work and creativity of board member Peggy Thom and the library’s Office Manager Jen Dixon. Peggy and Jen have put together an ambitious summer reading program that has attracted 29 children, ages toddler to eighth grader. Participants include children of area residents, second-home owners and visitors.

The program, titled “Read Beyond the Beaten Path,” uses badges, prizes and special events to entice children to read, get outdoors and learn about nature. In addition to keeping a logbook of what they read each week, participants have attended “We Love Animals” story time with Peggy; gone birding with local birders Hannah Buschert and Erik Ostrander; and listened to author Mindy Hardwick read from her latest young adult novel, “Some Stories Are Not Seen.”

Hopefully this summer reading program will encourage these youngsters to grow into life-long book lovers whose reading needs are met by the library’s mission as a resource for reading material.

To be an effective resource for readers, the library needs access to the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) system, which provides library patrons with access to books from libraries throughout the world.

Samuel Green, a librarian in Worcester, Massachusetts, first suggested the

Phyllis Bernt idea for a system allowing libraries to borrow books from one another in 1876.

Very little happened, however, until 1917, when the American Library Association developed a form and procedures to facilitate the process.

Early ILL agreements tended to be among research libraries and ILL was reserved, according to the Library of Congress, “for serious research and investigation calculated to advance the boundaries of knowledge.”

It’s no surprise that early ILL service was discouraged for average readers, because it was an onerous, paper-based, manual system. Massive catalogs of the collections in libraries willing to lend out their books had to be compiled. Correspondence and requests to borrow books were sent through the U.S. mail. The process often took months.

Technology gradually improved matters. The federal government in 1965 provided funding for a network of teletype machines

that allowed librarians to send typed requests to one another, if they were on the network.

Thanks to computerization, today’s ILL system is quick and efficient.

The backbone of modern ILL services is the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. It is a nonprofit membership organization that is used by more than 54,000 libraries in 109 countries as they manage their collections; catalog their holdings; and locate, borrow and lend books.

OCLC also maintains WorldCat, a comprehensive database of information about the holdings in more than 10,000 libraries.

The Cannon Beach Library is not an OCLC member, but through a generous arrangement with the Seaside Public Library, library patrons can access ILL services. Patrons who want to borrow a book that is not available in the library can make an ILL request by emailing info@cannonbeachlibrary.org, or calling 503-436-1391 or filling out a form in the library.

The ILL request is then emailed to the Seaside Library, which uses the ILL network to locate a lending library and request the book.

When the book arrives in Seaside, a library volunteer, usually Jeremy Randolph, brings it to the Cannon Beach Library. The patron making the request is notified, and once he or she has read the book and returned

it to the library, Jeremy returns the book to Seaside.

It’s a complicated system, but it offers library patrons access to a world of books.

Of course, the major way the library seeks to fulfill its mission is to add books to its collection each month.

The library added 22 new books in July.

Readers of mysteries and thrillers will notice new titles from two authors who bring their own scientific training and experiences to their writing, and whose characters have made their way to the television screen.

“Listen to Me” is Tess Gerritsen’s thirteenth book featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Dr. Maura Iles. A retired physician, Gerritsen brings her medical expertise to the character of Maura Iles. In “Listen to Me,” the detecting duo must solve the violent death of a seemingly popular nurse. Gerritsen’s characters were the inspiration for the seven-season television series “Rizzoli and Iles.”

“Cold, Cold Bones” is Kathy Reichs’ twenty-first novel featuring forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan. Reichs, herself a respected forensic anthropologist, freely admits to sharing a resume with Temperance Brennan.

In “Cold, Cold Bones,” Brennan is faced with a series of crimes that mimic her earlier cases and a murderer intent on revenge.

Reichs’ novels were the basis for the television se-

ries “Bones,” which ran for twelve seasons.

Six more mysteries were also added to the collection: “The 6:20 Man” by David Baldacci, “The Paris Apartment” by Lucey Foley, “The Woman in the Library” by Sulari Gentill, “The Girl Who Survived”

by Lisa Jackson, “Death and the Conjuror” by Tom Mead and “The Self-Made Widow” by Fabian Nicieza.

Nine works of fiction that were added include “Switchboard Soldiers” by Jennifer Chiaverini, “Fellowship Point” by Alice Elliott Dark, “The Measure”

by Nikki Erlick, “Hotel Nantucket” by Elin Hilderbrand, “Bloomsbury Girls”

by Natalie Jenner, “The Employees: A Workplace Novel of the 22nd Century”

by Olga Ravn, “Night of the Living Rez” by Morgan Talty, “Sugar and Salt” by Susan Wiggs and “Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin And finally the five new nonfiction books include “The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us” by Stephen L. Brusatte, “Crying in the Bathroom: A Memoir” by Erika Sanchez, “The Sewing Girl’s Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America” by John Wood Sweet, “Rough Draft: A Memoir” by Katy Tur and “An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us” by Ed Yong.

Bring your questions to the Information Center schedule of live music, tide charts, Sandcastle Contest and Stormy Weather merchandise, and (bonus!) free dog biscuits.

“The Chamber of Commerce has always provided information,” Kaim said. “It’s a connection between people and the services and businesses we have in Cannon Beach.”

Kaim has worked for the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce for the past six years. One of her primary roles is overseeing the Information Center.

“I have a lot of understanding and empathy for small towns and business owners because I’ve been a small business owner,” she said.

“It’s actually one of the most relaxing and fun jobs that I’ve ever had. It’s very rewarding every day being told that you were helpful.”

This is Part Two of the Chamber Connections series provided by the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce. To read past submission, visit cannonbeahgazette. com.

Every day the Chamber Beach Chamber of Commerce Information Center greets guests from all around the world.

“We provide some very basic information as simple as where is parking, restrooms, the beach, or Haystack Rock,” Office Manager Laura Kaim said. “We try and answer questions and stay very informed on what’s going on in Cannon Beach.”

The Information Center, located in the Chamber of Commerce Building on Spruce Street, is stocked with physical maps, brochures, a

At the Information Center, visitors seek recommendations on just about everything from lodging, dinning, to scenic hikes.

“Our two jokes here are that we get to tell people where to go and that people give us permission to tell them to: ‘Go take a hike,’” Kaim chuckled.

While tourists frequent the Information Center, it is more than just a must-stop for visitors; it provides guidance to all in Cannon Beach.

“There are four or five locals who come in every week to get the newspaper, check the tides, or the times of live music,” Kaim said.

“Locals will also come in and get information for their guest that are coming through.

Even if you work on the north coast, you should come in and educate yourself so those you

encounter can have recommendations.”

Kaim believes that the most valuable service the Information Center provides is the person-to-person interaction.

“When traveling, there is nothing worse than not being able to find or get that information that you need,” Kaim said. “There’s a number of people who are grateful

and say that our information is helpful to them. It’s actually comforting for people to get that information person-to-person instead of looking it up on a phone.”

One of the most popular, and surprising questions, Kaim gets asked is: Where’s the beach?

“Where we are located you can’t see the beach or Haystack Rock,” Kaim said.

n Bonus Continued from Page 1 the Prepared Food Tax and the Transient Lodging Tax, where Cannon Beach visitors will pay for the new City Hall. St. Denis’s consistent management and leadership are well worth the retention bonus, Steidel said.

Councilor Nancy McCarthy explained that when St. Denis was hired, he was told that the Council wanted him to complete projects that had been sitting around for years. Now the projects are underway without an increase in property taxes, McCarthy added.

Councilor Robin Risley wanted assurance that St. Denis would continue to have a yearly evaluation with the new City Council, and that it would be a priority. Risley said the word “retention” colored the evaluation process and requested another word.

The Council agreed to rename the bonus a “Project Completion Bonus.”

Keep the lights on for park activities It’s come to my attention that the Wednesday night soccer league at the City Park needs use of the park lights as the days grow shorter heading into the end of their season in mid-September.

For the last hour or so of play in the fall, it gets too dim for safety or comfort. If the park is open, then the full facilities of the park should be available--that’s what they’re there for, and the budget should accommodate that use.

The Wednesday night soccer league is the sort of community based, family friendly event that parks are created for, and to hobble it because of funding issues would indicate a need to revise the budgeting.

If it’s a matter of noise or light bleed issues for the neighbors, putting up with noise and activity is just part of living in that location. The park has been there for decades, it should be no surprise

that it gets used for park-type activities that include noise and nighttime lights.

Why so many tents and overnighters on beach?

After a recent stay in Cannon beach we were left disappointed by the allowing of tents, lawn chairs, blankets, etc. on the beach overnight.

I looks like a homeless camp and destroys the natural beauty of the beach. This surely violates Tom McCall’s vision for the protection of Oregon’s scenic wonder.
