the future. When the state gave local gov ernments the ability to opt out of legal cannabis sales in 2016, most eastern Oregon cities and counties initially banned cannabis sales, but some communities later saw a shift in opinion after realizing the tax benefit of legal cannabis. The Cannon Beach City Council decided against placing a temporary psilocybin ban on the November ballot, since the city is able to restrict where and how the facilities will operate. In November 2020, Cannon Beach voters overwhelmingly approved Measure 109 for psilocybin facil ities; with 639 voting yes and 386 voting no.

I’m trying to make it a festival that’s inclu sive of the heart of Cannon Beach with shopping, eating, and participating in the events aroundWomen’stown.”Only Weekend (as it used to be called) started as a pajama party with friends at a local hotel in Cannon Beach in 2008. Over the years, it has grown and evolved to be inclusive to all — not just women — as many attendees bring along their partners and kids.With the support of a grant through the Tourism and Arts Commission (TAC) and many community volunteers, this year’s event will take place November 11-13 with various participating boutiques, inspirational presenters, and sip and snack times. “When I took over the event, I was just in awe of how many women-owned business we have,” Wahlbeck said. “I can’t even get over it. When I go talk to people about this, they remember it and think it will be fun to participate. It’s a wonderful event…my friends come and we just have the most magicalGeneraltime.”Admission tickets to the event are $55 and include: an invite to the kickoff party with live DJ and trivia, a catered box lunch, keynote speaker sessions, access to the artisan holiday market, and access to the ‘Wine Down Party.’ This year’s keynote speaker is international empowerment coach Shannon Kaiser.

In 2020, Oregon became the first state in the nation to le galize 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 Ore gon starting in 2023. Measure 109 includes a process enabling cities and counties to opt-out of the pro gram. 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.Thelaw 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 decisionabilitycityvemberballotsbanplacefacilities,prohibithaveareasinrium.aSeasideletwillmanner”;“time,willraryaCountythisarevarycitieslimits.withinfacilitiesandcanofrestrictions,manner”thecityCannonBeachcontrolwherehowthesecanoperatethecityOtherOregonandcountiesonhowtheyapproachingissue.Clatsopwillimposetwo-yeartempoban;WarrentonregulatetheplaceandAstoriadonothingandittakeeffect;anddecidedontwo-yearmoratoMunicipalitiesmanyruralofOregondecidedtopsilocybinandwilltheproposedontheirlocalintheNoelection.Aorcountyhasthetoreversetheiratanypointin

Weekend brings together many local boutiques and businesses for a weekend centered around friendship. Cannon Beach City Manager Bruce St. Denis will receive a $32,834 bonus in De cember 2024, if he remains as city manager and if he supervises two major construction projects through theirThecompletion.CityCouncil 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 oversee ing 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 Decem ber 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 “sub stantially 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 nega tivity coming from a small handful of citizens, and said he hoped the contract revision would be incen tive 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 nor mal 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

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 vulnera bility to coastal impacts, such as food availability, human disturbance, and climate change. This vulnerability also makes it an ideal “indica tor 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 moni toring project has helped to establish an understanding of how many and how success ful 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 Clat sop Coast Watch and other local volunteers are working closely with Joe Liebezeit, Staff Scientist at the Portland Audubon, to protect and mon itor Black Oystercatchers. At this time of year, Black Oys tercatcher chicks are fledging and can be seen on the beach with their parents. Fledging can start in early July and ex tend through late September. At this stage, the chicks are extremely vulnerable to dog disturbance. When dogs are off leash they can easily at tack 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! Terri Neal photo
Phyllis Bernt Library Board President Like 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 Tickettitles. 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 plan ning 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 fund raising 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 fellow ship 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 Man ager 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 res idents, second-home owners and visitors. The program, titled “Read Beyond the Beaten Path,” uses badges, prizes and spe cial events to entice children to read, get outdoors and learn about nature. In addi tion 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 sum mer 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) sys tem, which provides library patrons with access to books from libraries throughout the world. Samuel Green, a librarian in Worcester, Massachu setts, first suggested the idea for a system allowing libraries to borrow books from one another in 1876. Very little happened, how ever, until 1917, when the American Library Associa tion developed a form and procedures to facilitate the process.Early ILL agreements tended to be among re search 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 discour aged for average readers, because it was an onerous, paper-based, manual sys tem. Massive catalogs of the collections in libraries will ing to lend out their books had to be compiled. Cor respondence 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 net work of teletype machines that allowed librarians to send typed requests to one another, if they were on the network.Thanks to computeriza tion, 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 non profit membership organi zation 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@cannon beachlibrary.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 noti fied, 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 inspi ration for the seven-season television series “Rizzoli and“Cold,Iles.” Cold Bones” is Kathy Reichs’ twenty-first novel featuring forensic an thropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan. Reichs, herself a respected forensic an thropologist, 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 collec tion: “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, “Fel lowship Point” by Alice Elliott Dark, “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick, “Hotel Nantucket” by Elin Hilder brand, “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 “Tomor row, 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 Di nosaurs to Us” by Stephen L. Brusatte, “Crying in the Bathroom: A Memoir” by Erika Sanchez, “The Sew ing 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.

At the Information Center, visitors seek recommenda tions on just about everything from lodging, dinning, to scenic“Ourhikes.twojokes 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 recom mendations.”
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 in formed 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 schedule of live music, tide charts, Sandcastle Contest and Stormy Weather merchandise, and (bonus!) free dog biscuits. “The Chamber of Com merce has always provided information,” Kaim said. “It’s a connection between people and the services and busi nesses 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 Infor mation Center. “I have a lot of understand ing 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.

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.Forthelasthour 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.
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. People should not be allowed to monopolize beach areas by leaving their possessions littering the sands. Cannon Beach would be wise to stop such blatant trashing of the beach.
