A crazy number
Yes, Seaside schools need
to be physically improved
and made safer. With 1,500
students only the 500 at
Seaside Heights Elementary
are in pretty good shape. That
leaves the facilities for the
remaining 1,000 students to
be improved and/or relocated.
The Seaside School Board
says you — the voter —
must spend $100 million to
accomplish this needed job.
Yes, folk, that is $100,000
per student! That is a crazy
number.
The school board said
there was no Plan B for
spending less than $128 mil-
lion in 2013 and they were
wrong since it is now $100
million in 2016. There is a
Plan C that is less than $50
million which will accom-
plish the same objectives
but that is not on the ballot.
Voting for Plan C would
allow funds to be available to
improve the bridges, which
will provide safety for stu-
dents during the 71 percent
of the time they are not at
school and all the rest of the
residents and visitors.

Fire department dinner
I would personally like to
thank everyone for another
wonderful and successful ben-
eit ham dinner. This is year 38
as a volunteer ireighter and
ham dinner participant for me,
and truly one of the best. A
special thanks to the Confer-
ence Center for providing the
facility to host such an event.
To the local citizens that
give of their time to pour cof-
fee, cut the cake, greet guests
at the door, help our wonderful
group of men and women
ireighters and their families
worked so well together to
make this a success.
It was wonderful watch-
ing the interaction of these
ireighters enjoying the time
together working towards a
common goal — that of par-
ticipating in their community
and helping one another. The
bond of friendship and service
is strong.
However, this ire de-
partment or any other ire
department wouldn’t be strong
without the support of you,
the members of the commu-
nity. The full time residents,
the part time residents and
the visitors that support our
goals and needs each year are
unbelievable.
Thank you to the residents
and guests and friends and
a special thank you to those
that cannot attend but provide
a donation in support of our
department. Your donations
are used for new and replace-
ment equipment, education,
advanced training and many
other aspects to improve the
quality of service we can pro-
vide back to you. Your support
has always been for us — our
support will be for you when
you need us.
Thanks to a wonderful
community, thanks to a group
of wonderful ireighters.

Academy hopes for contract ‘by end of year’
Academy from Page 1A
the regular district meeting
Tuesday and presented the
strides the organization has
made to meet the require-
ments for a successful appli-
cation. For example, the acad-
emy determined to use the
same English Language De-
velopment program as the dis-
trict, as it already is state-ap-
proved. The academy clariied
certain aspects of its inancial
plan, with revenue to be gen-
erated primarily through dis-
trict funding, pledges, fund-
raising and grants, Knop and
Dewey said. Other details of
the inancial plan will be de-
termined during negotiations
over the charter contract, Ro-
ley said.
Board member Tom Malt-
man, who is on the Finance
Committee, said the cohesion
between the two groups has
solidiied during the past few
months, allowing the process
to move forward eficiently
with clear communication.
“They understand where
we’re at, we understand where
they’re at,” he said.
Fellow committee mem-
bers Lynn Ulbricht and Pat-
rick Noield agreed.
The steps accomplished in
Units Available
5’ x 10’ • 10’ x 10’
the process to this point are “a
testament to their board and
the people in Cannon Beach
that are sustaining this after
all the obstacles” they’ve en-
countered, as well as the prob-
lem-solving efforts of Roley
and her staff, Noield said.
The inance committee
recommended approval of
the application without condi-
tions. The board unanimously
voted in favor of establishing
the charter and giving Roley
and her staff the authority to
negotiate the contract.
Moving forward, the acad-
emy’s board will continue
working with the district, with
the goal “to have a contract in
place by the end of the year,”
Knop said. Open enrollment
should start by March 1, in
preparation for the academy
to be operational by the 2017-
18 school year. The academy
also now can apply for Ore-
gon Department of Education
charter school implementa-
tion grants that will be avail-
able in the spring.
Dewey said she is “ex-
tremely excited to move for-
ward with the district” and
continue growing “a great re-
lationship.”
