Q: Are headaches a

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

Worries about cost
It would cost $450,000 to
purchase the property, accord-
ing to 2016 estimates. 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. The Hay-

stack Rock Awareness Program
has expressed interest in using
it as a possible art and ecology
center. 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.”

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.
