They told me ol their hope to he
involved in programs to retrain timber
workers One proposed governmcnl
program would put unemployed timber
workers to work restoring
environmentally devestated areas Both
of them recognized the uphill battle
ahead hut agreed on the importance of
being involved in «.hanging attitudes
and re educating a community
accustomed to one way of life for so
long I wished them luc L
And then I got busy and before I
knew it they were pulling on their
coats and leaving But not without a
warm good bve and an invitation to
drop in and visit if I ever again found
mysell in Forks I hey told me the name
of their place would be the Brightwater
Bed and Breaklast
And I really do wish them well I
hope Forks is kind to them and
appreciates what they represent a new
economic direilion and new hope If
communities depressed by loss of
resource based incomes are to survive
they w ill need people with imagination
and vision and sensitivity to the

produces
After they left my step was a little
lighter In the utlen foolish game ol
stereotyping I do love to be proved

everybody Room Make room for me1
Always I feel more the leaf pushed
by the tide than the tide itself I look
down on the sea of feet about mine and
try to inch forward Jounced about My
foot reaches the edge of the step
Pushed from behind I rise up The bus
driver strains to catch my eye around
the bodies in fro nt of me and yells

I see a difference between protecting
and being a protectionist The first
implies to me a responsible
stewardship maintaining standards
appropriate for the livability of our
community The second has tones of
elitism litera lly saying This is ours
and you re not welcome or more
specifically Your kind is not
welcome
This section of Oregon s beach is
among il not the most beautiful Ils
id v llic It s c o m p e llin g I l s a slate
treasure I enjoy livin g here and
welcome others to enjoy it
On President s day weekend when it
took 15 • » ' • • • minutes to travel one
and one half miles this welcoming
sprint was intensely challenged But at
the heart of it We are a desired
destination Cannon Beach w ill
continue to he a sought out spot for
holidays and day visits visitors keep
local businesses alive all year long The
door isn ( going to close and a mystical
driver yell Easton1
So a challenge before me is to find a
cooperative way to deal with
these
masses A way both personally and
through our etty planning processes
I suppose it boils down to simple
courtesy When visitors act
inappropriately I can deal with that in
the same manner as I would deal with
anyone acting discourteously 1 m
going to try and remember that these
people these guests are individuals
not members of some perverted club
dedicated to ru in in g my day or trashing
the streets All in all most are here to
enioy the very qualities which drew me
here years ago
I try to remember and in this sense
i knowledge that I am not the Ixst
one on the bus
