What’s new with Cannon Beach real estate T
Kathleen Stinson For The Gazette
he current and former presidents of the Clatsop Association of Realtors discussed some changes in the local real estate business with The Gazette during an interview on Sunday: Robin Risley, principal broker for Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty in Cannon
Michele Johnson.
Beach and a realtor for 30 years, served as president of the association for two terms in 2018 and 2019, Risley said in an email. The new president for 2020 and 2021, installed last Friday, is Michele Johnson, a realtor for 22 years. She’s with Windermere Realty Trust, also in Cannon Beach. “I’m very excited and positive about Michele being
our new president,” Risley said in an interview. “I just know we’re on to continuing in a very positive way.” Johnson said, “Robin has been a fabulous mentor to me. Having been past president, (Robin) with her knowledge and experience, going forward will be invaluable to me and to the success of the association.” One change in the home sales market in Cannon
Beach is that prices have been rising, Risley said. “I do think that prices are going up. Cannon Beach is a lot higher than any other place in the county.” She said Astoria, Warrenton and, in some instances, Seaside generally have more affordable homes for sale.

Tracking gray whale behavior - and their poop Sean Nealon Oregon State University

sing drones deployed in the air and GoPros underwater, Oregon State University marine ecologist Leigh Torres has completed her fourth field season documenting previously unseen behaviors of gray whales – and gathering their poop – off the Oregon coast. Torres works at the Marine Mammal Institute, based at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Torres and her team use a 17-foot inflatable boat to track gray whales right off the shoreline, around Newport. Once they see a whale, they drop a GoPro underwater to see what the whale is eating. And they deploy a drone overhead to watch behaviors and gather data about the size of the whales, in an effort to understand more about their health. If they’re lucky, the researchers can spot and gather whale poop, which further helps them the creatures’ biology. “We are using these relatively new technologies
to do health checkups on the whales,” Torres said. “We’re able to see differences in individual whales and how those change over time.” This past season, Torres and her team captured drone footage of 102 gray whales, plus recordings from 105 GoPro camera drops. The behaviors they filmed included whales breaching, surface feeding, snaking through kelp in search of food, and feeding on the seafloor bottom. They also collected 58 fecal samples. After spotting whale poop, the team has about 20 to 30 seconds to swoop in with a fine mesh net and scoop up some of the material before it sinks to the ocean floor. The fecal samples are taken to a lab and analyzed for hormone levels and genetics. Every year, some 20,000 gray whales, which can be more than 40 feet long and weigh more than 30 tons, migrate between the breeding lagoons of Baja, Mexico and the feeding grounds off British Columbia and Alaska, often passing close to shore along the Northwest coast. For some reason, about 200

Although they don’t live year-round off the Northwest coast, these are known informally as Oregon’s summer “resident” gray whales. Their near-shore migration has spawned a popular
whale-watching industry along the coast that in 2009 was worth an estimated $29 million – a figure likely higher today. When Torres arrived at Oregon State University in 2014, she said she was surprised there was not more research being conducted on Oregon’s resident gray whales. She

CB resident co-hosts NBC-TV dog show
Frei’s forte: TV shows and therapy dogs

annon Beach resident and Oregon native David Frei will co-host NBC’s “The National Dog Show Presented by Purina,” set to air Thursday after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. “The National Dog Show Presented by Purina” is hosted by TV personality, author and Broadway star John O’Hurley (“Seinfeld,” “Dancing with the Stars”), and analyst and American Kennel Club-licensed judge Frei, who has officiated at dog shows worldwide, according to a related press release. Frei has co-hosted the show since the beginning in 2002, according to the release. The show, which raises “money for canine-related causes,” drew 25 million viewers last year. In an interview last week, Frei told The Gazette that he and O’Hurley explain to the audience, among other things, “what these dogs were bred to do. If you are going to have a dog in the family, you want one that matches your family,” Frei said. He said the show is a “celebration of the dogs in our life.” These show dogs “are real dogs living in our house, just like other dogs… You want to relate to that and be a responsible owner.” Frei said viewers can watch the show, “sit there with their own dog and hug their own dog.” They can say, “You’re my best-of-show dog.” According to the press release: “In its unique format, the Kennel Club of Philadelphia offers an open environment for the esteemed event and remains one of the only ‘benched’ dog shows, displaying all 2,000 competing purebred canines to the visiting public.”

avid Frei, co-host of NBC’s “The National Dog Show Presented by Purina,” which will air Thanksgiving Day, started an organization several years ago to make it possible for therapy dogs to visit healthcare organizations around the country. In an interview last week, Frei, a Cannon Beach resident, talked about how he got into the world of dog shows and also therapy dogs. He said he grew up in Eugene and later lived in Seattle for about 20 years. While in Seattle, he would come to Cannon Beach “to play.” Later, while living in New York City, he and his wife, Cherilyn, talked about retiring to Cannon Beach someday. They moved here three and a half years ago. David Frei owned a public relations agency and two restaurants in Seattle, he said, and handled public relations for the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers. Although dogs have been a big part of his life, he said, he never had one while growing up. In college, a girlfriend suggested he get a dog. So, he did - an Afghan Hound. “Three weeks later, the girlfriend left and the dog stayed, which was the best thing for all of us,” said Frei. As the years passed, he became involved in “the dog show world” and bred Afghan Hounds for 30 years. “I David Frei will co-host NBC’s “The National Dog Show Presented by Purina” after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Mimosa Madness and much more in Cannon Beach on Friday C
Hilary Dorsey For The Gazette
annon Beach is hosting Mimosa Madness from 8-11 a.m. Friday, celebrating Black Friday with personal service, small-town charm and refreshments while you shop. According to Kathy Kleczek of La Luna Loca, Mimosa Madness began in 2008 or 2009. Kleczek was
involved in the initial event, as well as Dena’s Shop on the Corner. “We thought it would be good to have a local shopping event, since there were people in town and they often lamented about the shops not being open and having to go to Fred Meyer or Portland to get in on Black Friday shopping,” Kleczek said. “We wanted to make it more ‘civil’ - no pushing or
shoving. And certainly not at 2 a.m.!” The first year’s Mimosa Madness started at 7 a.m., which turned out to be too early for the Cannon Beach crowds. “We thought, ‘Let’s serve mimosas. Ooh, yeah,’” Kleczek said. “’That would be madness!’ And that’s where the name came from.” Kleczek said they determined the cost of advertising,
flyers and posters would be, and divided that by how many businesses committed to open early and offer specials. Mimosa Madness was born. “Customers seem to love it and many now come every year to do their shopping during Mimosa Madness,” Kleczek said. Participating stores B. Boutique: 8-9 a.m.,

Continued from Page 1 attributed that to the difficult coastal ocean’s working conditions - frequent winds, swell and fog - and the fact that gray whales right now aren’t threatened or endangered. But because these whales are abundant and stay close to shore, they’re a relatively accessible research subject,
allowing Torres to apply her findings related to gray whales to help other whale species, such as blue and right whales, that are threatened. Her research this past field season was funded with proceeds from the sale of an Oregon license plate featuring gray whales. The Marine Mammal Institute receives proceeds from the sale of those license plates and uses the funds for marine mammal research, education and conservation.

tion of Realtors, said Cannon Beach is a “destination location not just for Oregonians, but for people in the states of Washington and California.” Risley said the “locals can only afford homes priced in about the $400,000 to $450,000 range. (Cannon Beach) is a second-home market.” Johnson agreed the majority of buyers in the higher-priced range are second-home buyers. “I can’t think of anything under $400,000 (for sale) in Cannon Beach now.” Morrow said that north up to Astoria, Warrenton and Seaside tend to be more the primary home buyers. “In Seaside, prices range from very affordable to a million-dollar home,” she said. “But the Cannon Beach market has more of a Nantucket, Cape Cod feel to it and that resonates with so many buyers.” Both Johnson and Risley said another housing issue that has arisen recently is leadbased paint. Informing buyers and sellers of the ramifications of lead-based paint has been a requirement for some time. However, the federal government recently has been sending people out to realtors’ offices to look at their files. Johnson said fines for not informing buyers and sellers, and not retaining the paperwork, “could be as high as $30,000.”

Members also have selected the following nonfiction titles for 2020: “Mozart’s Starling” by Lyanda Lynn, “Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warning” edited by Paul Hawken, “The Library Book” by Susan Orleans, “Oregon’s Greatest Natural Disasters” by William L.

On Dec. 18, at their last meeting of 2019, members of Cannon Beach Reads - with guidance from discussion leader Penny Rice - will discuss “Barracoon: The Story of the Last ‘Black Cargo’” by Zola Neale Hurston, an anthropologist and filmmaker who focused on race issues in the American South during the early 20th Century. “Barracoon” is based on Hurston’s interviews in 1927 and 1931 with Cudjoe Lewis, then a resident of Plateau, Alabama, and the last survivor of the Atlantic slave trade. Lewis shared memories of his childhood in Africa, his capture and his life as a slave. Cannon Beach Reads meets every third Wednesday from 7-8:30 p.m. at the library. Anyone interested in
current and classic bestsellers is welcome to attend and enjoy conversations over coffee, tea and treats.

Sponsored by the World of Haystack Rock Lecture Series, this presentation will explain Oregon’s current process for updating the state’s special rocky habitat designations, a process allowing the public an opportunity to propose and recommend special management areas such as the marine garden at Haystack Rock. Plybon’s presentation at the library will begin at 7 p.m. All who knew and loved Joseph Hummel, an active member of Cannon Beach Reads, are invited to a memorial and celebration of his
life at the library on Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. Born Nov. 24, 1930 in Ft. Atkinson, Wisconsin, Hummel taught English at Southern Illinois University, the University of Idaho and other schools before moving permanently to Cannon Beach and becoming an active member of numerous community organizations. An avid reader, he made significant contributions to the library. He donated books to several special collections, including the Northwest Collection and the Lewis and Clark Collection. The donation of his extensive poetry library anchors the library’s Joe Hummel Poetry Collection. He also was active in the Lighthouse Society of Oregon, Cannon Beach Academy, Cannon Beach History Center, Haystack Rock Awareness Program and American Legion Post 168.

In November 2015, Councilor Benefield was quoted as saying: “I’m not opposed to grading… I’m just opposed to doing something without knowing what its effect is going to be.” (Daily Astorian, Nov. 10, 2015) The City of Cannon Beach then embarked on a four-year, $100,000 project to study the effects of dune grading, which concluded there is no scientific or environmental rationale to prevent grading for views, grading to allow for public access, or grading to prevent buildings from being inundated. Councilor Benefield is a retired engineer and scientist, and knows how to interpret a scientific document and the conclusions of Dr. Jonathan Allan of DOGAMI, CREST, the planning commission, the city planning staff and the city council. Councilor McCarthy is a journalist who covered many planning commission hearings where grading was approved, and certainly knows a fact when she sees it. Councilor Risley is a realtor who has sold numerous Breakers Point condominiums, assuring buyers that the city has a “process” to grade dunes. Mayor Steidel and Councilor Ogilvie served on the planning commission for many years, during which they voted in favor of several dune-grading applications. I am sure that each of the councilors are people who
believe in the science behind global warming and climate change, and are horrified by those - like the current occupant of the White House - who would denigrate 99% of the scientific community. However, by voting to ban grading for views, they are saying the Allan Report, the draft dune management plan, and the proposed plan and ordinance that the commission laboriously drafted over a two-year period are irrelevant, and the science doesn’t matter. Apparently, the signatures collected by Diana Turner, many of which were from petitions posted at Powell’s Books in Portland and from Arch Cape and Nehalem, outweigh the scientific evidence, the empirical evidence from 20 years of grading, and the testimony of 120 oceanfront homeowners who are poised over time to suffer real economic losses. None of the major opponents of dune grading, Diana Turner or Jeff Harrison are voting citizens of Cannon Beach, nor have they made any contribution to civic life other than this misguided effort. The planning commission was asked by staff, over 13 hearings and workshops, whether or not dune grading for views should be outright banned, and the answer was always no. It was only after the plan and ordinances were completed that some of the commissioners had “buyer’s remorse” and wrote a request to the council that they should consider whether or

not to ban grading for views. Rather than base their objections on the Allan Report or other scientific evidence, or environmental concerns, opponents referred to the aesthetics of grading, that it was “ugly.” It was clear from the hearings that few thought the act of dune grading was environmentally destructive, most acknowledging that European beachgrass was an invasive species. They just prefer higher dunes, regardless of their impact on others. One of the planning commissioners cautioned you about “fear,” implying that the city was being threatened. This is so typically inappropriate, coming from this individual, conjuring some sort of dark force attacking the council or city, and is in fact a threat in itself. This is a legal and civic proceeding, not a morality play involving life or death, and they should know better. This is the same individual who unsuccessfully requested Dr. Allan to remove sections of his report that were favorable to grading for view protection. Dr. Allan refused to do this. I call on reasonable members of the council to put a pause on the proceedings and consider the impacts of their decision. Mike Morgan is a former mayor of Cannon Beach and a consultant to the homeowners’ association along the Cannon Beach beachfront.
