8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 2018 Consult a PROFESSIONAL Q: Are headaches a way of life? least 80 percent of headaches A: At originate from problems with the neck. Tendons from the neck muscles go into the skull and attach to the brain’s covering. When the neck is locked up, tight or tweaked in some way, the fibers pull on the dura where all the pain-sensitive nerves are in the head — then you have a headache. Chiropractic care on the neck frequently gets rid of headaches quickly and permanently. There are no side effects from medications and it’s very safe.Call Astoria Chiropractic today at 503- 325-3311 to see if we can help.

The cost of interior and exterior renova- tions would be about $371,000, according to Coaster Construc- tion. While most of the class- rooms in the 1950s-era build- ing would be unusable, an engineering report concluded the gym was in good condition. Due to age and the years of sitting dormant, Steidel said there are worries about unex- pected costs and the upkeep it would take to run it. “What’s scaring people is the maintenance and the remod- eling. You don’t know what you are going to find,” Steidel said. With a $99.7 million bond project in full swing to relocate four school buildings out of the tsunami zone, Seaside School District Superintendent Sheila Roley said the district has no interest in acting as a landlord for old school sites. “We’re happy to talk to the city (of Cannon Beach) about any interest in the school,” Roley said. “We haven’t had any recent conversations, but we would love to have that building as a Cannon Beach community facility.” Roley said all school sites will be appraised again this spring. Interested parties Since the school’s closure, many groups have come for- ward with ideas on how to pre- serve the property. More than 50 members of the Cannon Beach Chorus wrote to the City Coun- cil to advocate for the building to become a community cen- ter and concert hall.

Many residents say they want a place big enough for the community to gather. Some of the urgency for the city to buy the property comes from groups like the Greater Ecola Natural Area and Ecola Watershed Council, which say the city buying the school is the best way to ensure an eco- logically and culturally sensi- tive area is protected. Adjacent to the building is NeCus Park, named after the Native Amer- ican village that once stood there. “A part of the vision for NeCus has always been to acquire the remainder of the site in order to create a gateway to Cannon Beach that celebrates the natural beauty and cul- tural history of this extraordi- nary place,” said Katie Voelke, chairwoman of the Greater Ecola Natural Area. “Cannon Beach and its real estate is some of the most sought after in the state. This property will likely sell to a private party, possi- bly shutting the community out from a cherished location.” The school district has also had conversations about the property with members of the Clatsop-Nehalem Confeder- ated Tribes in the last week, Roley said. Officials from the tribe were unable to be reached for comment. While there are many com- peting visions for the space, Steidel said it is a testament to the building’s versatility. “I think all this interest shows the enormity of what it could be used for. What’s bet- ter than having a building that’s constantly used?” Steidel said. Moving forward With community support again on the rise, the city will continue to discuss funding options at an upcoming work session, as well as how it could be balanced with other capi- tal projects. Some new ideas are already being explored, like researching whether some of the dollars allocated to the Tourism and Arts Commission could be reserved for running a community center. Other options, like floating a bond or fundraising, will be discussed, Steidel said. While all five city coun- cilors listed purchasing the school as a priority at a recent goal-setting retreat, Steidel was the only one to list it as No. 1. “Obviously, all of these projects will compete for dol- lars. But I don’t think they should compete,” he said. “It’s doable right now. South Wind takes a lot of long-term plan- ning. This is something achiev- able if people are behind it.” W e beat all on - line prices ! c heck us out before purchasing elseWhere !

While The Harbor does not offer a shelter in Clatsop County, they will provide confi- dential locations for emergency purposes, Neumeister said. “Hopefully our shelter will open this year,” she said. “In the meantime, sister agencies help to get them out of town.” Marlin Martin, regional director of the Clatsop Com- munity Action Regional Food Bank, offered visitors healthy snacks and food resource guides listing locations and times of emergency food out- lets throughout the county. “Regardless of what commu- nity they reside in, they will have resources in an emergency to find food,” Martin said.

No. Sturgeon is an exception to the “fresher the better” rule. It is preferable to wait and eat sturgeon at least two days after it is caught.When Sturgeon die they go into rigor and the fibers in the fillets tense up. It takes 48 hours for the fibers to loosen so that the fillet has the proper texture and flavor when cooked. We sell Sturgeon that has been caught in the same day, but always recommend waiting to preparing it.
