Because the state Legislature is still in ses- sion, however, Brown won’t be able to conﬁ rm until very close to the event, he said. Time to celebrate The event sprang out of a brainstorming session with Debbie Nelson, one of the main organizers of Sandcas- tle Day, Carrier said. The two realized it was the 50th anni- versary of the bill, and decided that since the governor chose to come to Cannon Beach, it should warrant its own cele- bration outside of Sandcastle celebrations. Associated Press REGIONAL CITIES City Baker City Bend Brookings Eugene Ilwaco Klamath Falls Medford Newberg Newport North Bend CANNON BEACH — Fifty years ago, former Gov. Tom McCall ﬂ ew his helicop- ter to Cannon Beach to declare a simple statement: Keep Ore- gon beaches public. On May 13, 1967, that pub- licity stunt helped drive pub- lic support to pass the Oregon Beach Bill — the legislation that established public owner- ship of the Oregon Coast. To mark the milestone , the Chamber of Commerce is hosting a celebration of the signing on May 13, with a host of activities, music and pos- sibly a visit from Gov. Kate Brown. “This is a celebra- tion about saving the beach,” Chamber of Commerce Exec- utive Director Court Carrier said. “What if the beach would have been privatized? Can you imagine not being able to walk along the beach? This bill is probably the reason why this visitor economy exists on the coast.” Brown intends to ride on The debate started in 1966 when a hotel wanted to rope off a section of sand in front the hotel for guests after ﬁ nd- ing a loophole in the 1913 legislation that declared Ore- gon beaches were public high- ways, according to Oregon State Archives. Carrier said he doesn’t think Cannon Beach could be what it is today without this bill. “People established homes and businesses because of beach access,” he said. “We’ve all been the beneﬁ ciaries .” While some details need to be ironed out, the overall goal will remain the same, Carrier said. “The purpose is to educate and celebrate,” Carrier said. “It’s a milestone. This has stood the test of time, and we continue to see the beneﬁ ts to now.” Inslee signs marijuana lockbox measure Klamath Falls 27/65 Sat.

W t pc r sn r r c pc sh t r s s c pc pc pc pc t pc r pc s sh pc OLYMPIA, Wash. — Marijuana stores will be able to give customers free lockable storage boxes under a bill signed by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee. Supporters of the measure, signed Thursday, say it helps protect kids and pets from acciden- tally eating marijuana products. Under the measure, stores may not make the donation of the box contingent on a purchase and cannot market the free boxes as an incentive to sell marijuana products or paraphernalia. The new law also allows stores to sell the lockboxes, as long as they’re not making a proﬁ t on them. Because the state’s marijuana laws restrict what shops can sell or give away, the boxes needed special authorization. Also signed by Inslee Thursday was a mea- sure that authorizes the state’s Department of Agriculture to participate in the regulation of the production and processing of marijuana-in- fused edibles.
