Academy visits legislators in Salem
By KATHERINE LACAZE
For Cannon Beach Gazette
Third-graders from Can-
non Beach Academy got a
taste of state politics with
a trip to Salem on Monday,
March 18, to visit with local
legislators.
“We wanted to get the
children involved in advo-
cating for their own educa-
tion,” academy director Amy
Fredrickson said.
The charter school part-
nered with the Oregon Coa-
lition of Community Char-
ter Schools for the trip, and
participated with nearly 20
other schools and dozens of
students, board member Kel-
lye Dewey said during the
academy’s regular board of
director meeting March 14.
Leading up to the trip,
the academy’s third-graders
drafted letters to their repre-
sentatives — including State
House Rep. Tiffi ny Mitch-
ell, of District 32, and state
Sen. Betsy Johnson, repre-
senting District 16 — defi n-
ing issues affecting charter
schools and offering solu-
tions. The in-person meet-
ings at the state capitol were
also to talk about “the lack
of equal access that charter
schools are met with,” Fred-
rickson said.
For example, she said,
charter schools don’t have
access to the state’s School
Improvement Fund.
“We spoke to our legis-
lators about how vital that
funding would be to our
school in terms of improv-
ing the current building and
when opening a new school
in the long term,” Fredrick-
son said. “We also advocated
for eliminating the proposed
budget cuts, which will addi-
tionally impact our school,
as well.”

Days of Earth Day. Board
member Barb Knop said the
city approved for the acad-
emy kids to select two loca-
tions on campus where they
can plant trees, and moni-
tor them as they grow. On
April 12, the students also
will walk to the south end of
Cannon Beach near the Tree
City USA sign, where adult
volunteers will plant trees
and the kids can observe for
educational purposes, Knop
said.
The board discussed
details for its PTO fund-
raiser, which will take place
from 6 to 9 p.m. May 18 at

Legion Post 168. The event
will include a silent auction

Help knock out knotweed
on the Necanicum River
Cannon Beach Gazette
North Coast Land Con-
servancy is seeking volun-
teers for one more assault
on invasive Japanese knot-
weed that had spread
widely in its Necanicum
Forest Habitat Reserve
east of Seaside. Join them
for this stewardship day
Wednesday, April 17, from
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Knotweed is a robust
weed, native to Eur-
asia, that has invaded riv-
erside forests on Ore-
gon’s North Coast. It was
widely planted in logging
camps and along headwa-
ter streams in the 1900s.
Floods transported root
masses downstream, cre-
ating huge infestations
on many Oregon rivers,
including the Necanicum.
NCLC has been working to
rid Necanicum Forest Hab-
itat Reserve of knotweed
for several years. One
more big push by volun-
teers will help NCLC get a
handle on this invader.
