Art takes center stage By ALLYN CANTOR For The Gazette Cannon Beach’s art community is coming together Sept. 20-22 to host a new, environmentally-themed art festival that will highlight local ecology. This celebration of the arts – the Earth & Ocean Arts Festival - is reinventing ways to connect the arts with the protection and conservation of nature. Spearheaded by members of the Cannon Beach Gallery Group, the festival brings together five local nonprofit organizations that will directly receive 50% of the proceeds generated from the festival’s event pass. A number of galleries and artists also are contributing festival proceeds to the nonprofit groups. Cannon Beach will see an array of activities that include dance and music performances, land-art creations, educational talks, and a variety of exhibitions and opportunities to meet both
the artists and members of the nonprofit groups. Highlights to experience outside will include a largescale installation by ecological artist Shelby Silver. The interactive outdoor sculpture “We’ve Made Our Bed,” which incorporates ghost netting and marine rope, speaks about marine animals never truly being safe from the hazards of entanglement, entrapment and indigestion from plastic marine debris. Silver is tracking how many pounds of ghost netting were collected for this project. Her piece will be located in the courtyard near Coaster Theater throughout the weekend. On Saturday, ceramic artists Dave and Boni Deal will do a series of live raku firings on the beach near Whale Park. For nearly 40 years, these Washington artists have collaborated in their rustic off-grid lifestyle, using no electricity. Their work honors Pacific Northwest themes, such as ferns and herons, to
adorn their classic forms. Whale Park also will be the site of a Saturday-evening beach reception featuring a local string band, The Floating Glass Balls. Here, you can experience several land-art creations made during the weekend, including a large-scale basketry sculpture by local artist Debra Carnes in collaboration with members of the Tolovana Arts Colony. In the sculpture garden outside of the Northwest by Northwest Gallery will be artists throughout the weekend, including Angelita Surmon, who works in both kiln-formed glass and a rhythmic painting style to create scenes that “mimic the music of the natural world.” A percentage of sales from this gallery will benefit Friends of Haystack Rock. Inside the galleries, individual artists and exhibitions will be approaching the Earth & Ocean theme in a variety of ways. Kathleen Sheard, a wildlife glass artist and
sea turtle conservationist, has assembled a team of glass artists to create her Spiritual Reliquaries and Wildlife Rondells at Icefire Glassworks throughout the weekend. Sheard works with fused, slumped, cast, and furnace techniques in her glass renditions of animals. At Imprint Gallery, a group show of six artists has been assembled focused on the idea of “Habitat.” The artists here are reflecting on the diversity found in wildlife and the environment. Dragonfire Gallery, too, will be hosting a group show, “Common Ground: The Art of Ecology,” which includes 30 artists creating works that express what is most precious or inspiring to them about the local ecosystem. Ten percent of the proceeds from this show will go to all five participating nonprofits. At Archimedes Gallery, painter Josh Keyes will release a limited-edition print of his painting “End of the
Trail,” with partial proceeds going to the North Coast Land Conservancy. The Earth & Ocean theme has provoked painter Christopher Mathie to think more about how plastic refuse ends up in our oceans and inside the bodies of large majestic marine mammals such as whales. Mathie began a new sculpture process that keeps his studio refuse out of the landfills by using the various materials – most of which are plastic – as a medium for sculpture. He will debut the new sculptures alongside his coastal-themed paintings in a group show at White Bird Gallery. At Cannon Beach Arts Association will be Dorota Haber-Lehigh demonstrating her botanical illustrations. And at Jewelry by Sharon Amber, painter Victoria Brooks will demonstrate plein air painting. A raffle of jewelry artists will also benefit the conservation groups involved with the festival. Local artist Jeffrey Hull
will be painting outside of his gallery during the weekend, with proceeds from the piece he creates going to a nonprofit of the purchaser’s choice. Bronze Coast Gallery will have artist demonstrations, as well as a raffle of three art pieces to benefit the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. In addition to the wealth of visual arts, this inaugural festival will include the nationally acclaimed Artichoke Dance Company, which will perform on the beach. The group increases awareness of plastic pollution, which is at an all-time high in our oceans. The new Earth & Ocean Arts Festival is a timely event coinciding with one of SOLVE’s beach clean-up weekends, as well as the last Concert in the Park of the season. A festival pass can be purchased at https://www. eventbrite.com/e/earth-andocean-arts-festival-tickets-62437590514.
Academy expands curriculum The Cannon Beach Academy began its new school year this week, adding for the first time fourth and fifth grades to its curriculum. Amy Fredrickson, the academy’s director, said the school opened in 2017 and is a tuition-free nonprofit. It is part of the Seaside School District. “If you are trying to create a charter school, you have to distinguish yourself from the (other) public schools,” Fredrickson said. She said the academy is different in three ways: It uses a Direct Instruction curriculum model Spanish is taught on a daily basis Art and music classes are taught weekly “This year has been our most successful year in terms of enrollment,” she said. “Our maximum capacity for enrollment is 50. Forty-five students are enrolled. “We received a grant from the Department of Education, and a large component of the grant was used for marketing and outreach,” said Fredrickson. The school draws students from as far away as Nehalem to the south and Astoria to the north, she said. The only requirement is that students
must live somewhere in Oregon and provide their own transportation. One advantage the school offers is small class sizes of no more than 25 students, she said. For reading, language arts and math, students are
next one,” he said. “In each lesson, we have seven to nine tasks going on at the same time.” Hull said the school uses a “scripted lesson plan that has been used all over and it works … we know this is a well-tested curriculum.”
“If you are trying to create a charter school, you have to distinguish yourself from the (other) public schools.” - Amy Fredrickson divided into groups within the classroom. “Small-group instruction permits the teacher to give feedback in a meaningful way. Teachers can work closely with the students.” If a student is not “grasping a concept, the teacher can provide immediate feedback,” she said. “There is less opportunity for students to fall through the cracks or slide under the radar.” Ryan Hull teaches second, third and fourth grade at the academy, where he’s taught for two and a half years. “What we offer is school choice,” Hull said. The academy’s curriculum is Direct Instruction, which is “a sequential-step approach, where a student masters a task and then goes on to the
Emma Molyneux is a parent of two second-graders who have attended the academy since it opened. She said “one of the key benefits” is the fact that the school’s curriculum model can accommodate both of her children’s learning abilities, although they vary widely. “The children don’t get lost in the system. “The other huge benefit is the community,” which embraces the school much more than if it were located in a large metro area, said Molyneux. Also, it is the only elementary school located within Cannon Beach. Anyone can volunteer at the school, she said. It is not necessary to have a child or grandchild enrolled.

Visitor numbers ‘pretty on par’
By KATHLEEN STINSON For The Gazette The number of visitors to Cannon Beach this summer has been similar to what could be expected, according to the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce. What has changed is the regional schools starting classes earlier, which means the number of late-August visitors has dwindled in recent years, said Greg Swedenborg, president of the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Except for late August, the number of visitors to Cannon Beach increased the past few years due to unusual conditions, such as warmer weather last year and a fire two summers ago, Swedenborg said. People came to the coast in larger numbers to cool down or get away from the smoke conditions brought on by the fire. In June 2019, 4,055 walk-ins entered the Visitor Information Center compared to 4,554 in June 2018, according to data provided by the chamber. In July 2019, 6,163 visitors walked into the center. In July 2018, the number was 7,465. In August 2019, 8,468 visitors walked into the center compared to 8,579 in
August 2018. In recent years, Portland’s population has increased, bringing more visitors to the coast, Swedenborg said. Also, Travel Oregon, a state effort to market tourism, has influenced the number of visitors to
Cannon Beach. “Now, more than ever, we are seeing international travelers come to Cannon Beach,” he said. Travel Oregon advertises in Japan, China and the Pacific Rim countries. About 60% of the city’s visitors come from Portland
and Seattle, he said. Jim Paino, executive director of the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, said he thinks “the walk-in numbers are pretty on par with what they should be; 2019 was a pretty steady year for the visitors’ center.
“A different crowd comes when school starts,” Paino said. More retirees, motorhome vacationers and people without children tend to visit then. Some choose to come after the summer months because they know it is quieter then,
he added. “Most of the short-term rental properties (in Cannon Beach) are managed by the four vacation rental companies in town, but a handful are privately rented by the individual owner or other individuals ...”

Joseph Bernt, library volunteer Trump in what becomes a devastating veiled critique of our current president. Novelist Stephen Holgate, a native Oregonian who served as a diplomat with the American Embassy for four years in Morocco, opens the Northwest Authors Series for 2019-2020 at 2 p.m. Oct. 12. Holgate published “Tangier,” his first novel, in 2017, followed by “Madagascar,” his second novel, a year later. He also has published several short stories and numerous freelance articles. Additionally, he successfully produced a one-man play. In “Tangier,” Holgate follows Christopher Chaffee, a disgraced Washington power broker whose father, a French diplomat, died in a Vichy French prison in 1944 - or so Christopher believed, until a letter posted decades earlier arrived and upended

rulers in an era of absolutist monarchs, especially during the reigns of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) and James I (1603-1625). In doing so Greenblatt emphasizes how personally dangerous stage presentations were for authors who commented on contemporary monarchs, including Elizabeth and James. This, according to Greenblatt, explains why Shakespeare was particularly careful to draw his subject matter from historical periods well removed from their reigns. “Tyrant” offers a particularly clever discussion of Shakespeare’s depiction of tyrannical monarchs. Whether interpreting “Richard III,” “Macbeth,” “King Lear,” Leontes in “The Winter Tale,” “Titus Andronicus” or “Coriolanus,” Greenblatt never mentions President Donald Trump. Even so, this discussion of Shakespeare’s staged tyrants echoes contemporary press discussions of The Donald’s 2016 campaign and 33 months in office. Greenblatt makes sure his readers recognize his allusions to Trump’s tyrannical character traits, Trump’s congressional supporters, contemporary partisanship and government inaction in the same way that Shakespeare made sure his audience for “Richard III” recognized allusions to the politics of Elizabeth’s reign. Elizabeth’s grandfather, after all, killed Richard III in 1485 to reign as Henry VII (1495-1509). Greenblatt, in his study of Shakespeare’s tyrannical characters, illustrates how a gifted playwright made topical allusions and political comments without losing his hands, or worse, to paranoid and absolute monarchs. Greenblatt might say he’s criticizing only plays about monarchs lost to history and note that he never mentions

With Labor Day Weekend a memory, Cannon Beach residents anticipate a gradual decline in the numbers of visitors and vehicles in our village, as September bookends blue skies and warm afternoons with crisp mornings and evenings. At the Cannon Beach Library, members and volunteers anticipate a new year of the Northwest Authors Series, continued Cannon Beach Reads discussions of important fiction and non-fiction, and such special events as the annual “Fall Festival.” This year’s “Fall Festival” is scheduled for 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 28 at the library, 131 N. Hemlock. For the past month and into September, library members and volunteers have focused on the festival, where north coast residents and visitors can discover unique and reasonably priced handmade craft items. While checking off items from their holiday shopping lists, they also will find homemade baked goods - cookies, pies, rolls, breads and so forth - irresistible. Generous donations of gift certificates from 53 Cannon Beach merchants and five Cannon Beach hotels highlight the “Fall Festival.” Certificates from Cannon Beach merchants are bundled for drawings, and a silent auction will determine winners of certificates for hotel stays. Winners of the certificate drawings and of the silent auctions will be announced at 4 p.m. the day of the festival. Drawing tickets can be purchased and bids entered throughout September, during library hours, until the drawing and silent auction occur. Participants in the drawings and bidding need not be present to win. The “Fall Festival” is a free event, open to residents and visitors, with all proceeds supporting the Cannon Beach Library. Crafters and bakers interested in contributing handmade crafts or homemade baked goods are encouraged to volunteer. For more information, stop by the library, call the office at 503-436-1391, or email info@cannonbeachlibrary. org. The Cannon Beach Reads group will discuss “Tyrant: Shakespeare on Politics” by Stephen Greenblatt in the library on Sept. 18, 7-8:30 p.m. Copies of “Tyrant” are available at the library and for purchase at Cannon Beach Book Company. Cannon Beach Reads is a free event open to the public. Anyone interested may join the discussion. Refreshments will be served. Greenblatt, John Cogan University professor of the humanities at Harvard University, received the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction and the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2012 for “The Swerve: How the World Became Modern.” “Tyrant” offers a subtle examination of Shakespeare’s dramatic focus on various aspects of tyrannical
his life. This introduces a second tale of espionage and betrayal, set in Morocco during WWII. Rene Laurent, Christopher’s father, struggles to maintain his integrity, and his life, in dangerous wartime Tangiers. The two stories gradually intertwine as Christopher unravels the mystery of his father’s fate, and Laurent becomes trapped in a web of lies, corruption and the arms of a woman he knows he should not trust. In “Madagascar,” Holgate follows Robert Knott, a political officer in the U.S. Embassy at Antananarivo, Madagascar, with little to do. Knott’s career has hit bottom. He’s estranged from his 15-year-old daughter, who lives in the U.S. with his ex-wife. Knott turns to the gaming tables of the Zebu Room and finds himself in debt to Maurice Picard, the casino owner, a retired but dangerous soldier of fortune. To relieve his debt, Knott agrees to launder Madagascar currency through the embassy cashier. Knott also finds purpose in helping Walt Sackett, an American cattleman that corrupt officials have imprisoned.

Council considers new city hall/police station The City of Cannon Beach is considering building a joint city hall and police station that can withstand an earthquake or tsunami. The new facility would provide a place for city staff to manage an emergency in the event a natural disaster strikes Cannon Beach, said City Manager Bruce St. Denis. “In an earthquake, we will not have a place from which to work,” St. Denis said. Regardless, residents would be “looking to the city to handle an emergency.” The current facility is a former logging operations building that’s about 70 years old and was “never meant to be an emergencytype building,” he said. “The building is part lumber and part a hollow terracotta block at risk during an earth-
quake” and is located in the tsunami zone. “If it were a small or medium tsunami, (city hall) would be impacted,” he said. “The City of Cannon Beach is tentatively scheduling a referral in May of 2020 which will give the voters the opportunity to decide whether to approve the City Hall/Police Station project by agreeing to a tax levy for its’ funding,” he said in an email. “The project would be financed over 30 years so that future users will pay their fair share of the cost of the facility.” The city has been considering building such a facility for about 10 to 15 years, he said. Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn said the floors of the existing police station
are “uneven and you can’t even close (some) doors.” The station is “cramped” and lacks sufficient storage area. “We had to decommission a jail cell for (space). The evidence room is at capacity.” The city hired SRG Partnership, Inc., an architectural firm based in the Northwest, to look at the city’s options for a new facility, as stated in a city document. St. Denis said the firm’s studies estimated the building would cost between $15 million and $32 million “depending on where it is built.” The proximity of the land to existing utility infrastructure and whether it is located in a “slide zone” would affect the cost of construction, for example. The City Council discussed Tuesday whether to
OBITUARIES Cannon Beach lost a much beloved long time resident on Thursday, August 22. Joe was born in Fort Atkinson, WI on November 25, 1930, to Leslie and Elsie (Peters) Hummel. An exceptional man, Joe leaves many to mourn his passing, including long time friends Steve and Joe, Bob and Jane and their daughter Katherine, Doyle and Gary, Sally, and niece Gail, and many, many other people that were so glad to call Joe friend. Joe’s life cannot be fully encompassed in one missive, so complete adulation will be presented at his memorial service. Cannon Beach will miss his spry step, wry humor, and deep love for all things he dedicated himself to. Some of his Cannon Beach causes included being involved with the Lighthouse Society of Oregon, The Cannon Beach Academy, The Cannon Beach Historical Society, The Cannon Beach Library, the Haystack Rock Awareness Program, the American Legion Post 168, Cheri’s Cafe for the 8 am coffee group, The Cannon Beach Book Store and his favorite place to drink scotch, The Driftwood. Joe was not one to go quietly into the great beyond. His zeal for living, learning, and spreading joy will be carried on through the love and caring of his friends. Joe’s ripple effect in the world resounds through all the lives he touched.
appoint a citizens’ committee to look at whether the city has sufficiently researched its options with respect to constructing a new facility, as stated in a city document. In an email Wednesday, St. Denis said that during Tuesday’s meeting, “Council gave direction for staff to bring a resolution creating a committee to review the materials that had been
developed as the basis for decisions related to a City Hall/Police Station project. “The Council accepted a proposal from Council President Benefield that the committee be composed of one member of the seven ‘standing committees’ as well as 4 individuals to be appointed ‘at large.’ Each of the standing committees was to select their own representative during their October
meetings. “The city will also seek letters of interest from citizens interested in one of the four additional seats. The final decision regarding the scope of the review and the 11 appointments will be made at the October 1st meeting. “Letters can be forwarded to the City Manager’s office prior to September 26th,” added St. Denis.
Dear Cannon Beach City Councilors & Mayor, We urge you to adopt your Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation to end dune grading for beachfront home owners’ view enhancement. The dunes belong to all of us: • They provide protection against storm damage • and flooding. • They are a crucial part of Cannon Beach’s • beauty and economy. • They are a habitat for birds, animals and plants. Seize this opportunity to protect the state-owned dunes and every citizen’s view. These 200 names represent a fraction of the 1,100+ signatures on our petition.
Joseph Humme 1930-2019
A memorial service is planned for later this fall. Details will be published in advance. Joe had engaged the Neptune Cremation Society and specified that his ashes are scattered off the Oregon Coast.

Local trainer to host running workshops Cameron Francey isn’t bashful about running around town. “I see many other run-
ners while I’m out training and there’s usually a friendly exchange of appreciation between us as we pass,” Francey said. Francey, a certified personal trainer, started focusing on
running a few years ago and has seen success in mountain ultra-races. “My running takes me to interesting places and events,” he said. “So far this year, I’ve raced in the Tillamook Forest

in a 50-mile race in April, and more recently I managed a 5th-place finish in a 100-km. (63-mile) race on the side of Mount Hood. “I have one more 50-k race, which is at Mount St. Helens, before I take a trip over to Scotland to preview the route of a 100-mile race I’m entered in for May 2020.” As his love of running grew, Francey wanted to share his knowledge and passion. “Last year, I decided … I wanted to start up a running group, because I knew that a lot of people run around here and I wanted a people to
encourage each other.” His group has about a dozen members that meet on Thursday evenings throughout the summer to run and encourage one another. This fall, Francey will be hosting a three-day running workshop set for Oct. 20, 27 and Nov. 3, which will be free to attend. “The aim is to help other local runners improve their running abilities and reduce their injury risk,” he said. “We’ll cover topics on the foundations of running form, good posture, and Running 101.” Francey said posters about
the workshop will be available around town. For more information about the workshop or Francey’s running group, email pt@active4health.fit.
