Happy Birthday, Jesus. As we pass the darkness of the
solstice, and enter the rebirth of wonder, we are faced with
the questions of life & the alternative. We here at the Edge
have been of late pondering - a common winter recreation —
our future. "May the Baby Jesus open your mind and shut
your mouth!" was the motto of the Family Dog in The City
in the 60's. This was suggested recently. We have been
considering this option of late, due to the economics and
social cost of doing what we do.
Obviously, we have chosen to persevere. We must
remind our readers that, no, we are not professional
"Journalists" or professional "Lawyers" or in any other way
connected with 60 Minutes. We are, much like yourselves,
confused, upset, and not too happy with the way things are
going in spite of the season. We try to present you with an
option, an alternative to the alternative press, as it were.
We have, these last years, attempted to be inclusive, but not
at the cost of our own opinions, (it is our paper, after all) or
to the point of offense to those whom we respect in this
community, state, natic. , etc.
Well____

To the Editor,
The story in your November issue about the gift of
Chapman Point to the state reminded me of a sign which
some years ago purportedly hung over the desk of the city
editor of a San Francisco newspaper. It read, "Never mind
getting it right, just get it written."
Contrary to your statement the current open space zoning
of Chapman Point could have been changed at any time the
present or a future city council chose to do so. The deed
making the gift of Chapman Point to the state contains
language which insures that it will remain undeveloped open
space.
Then, in so many words, you imply that Fred Wessinger
paid $250,000 for Chapman Point in order to buy PR for
his 19 lot development. The truth of the matter is that Mr.
Wessinger has no interest, directly or indirectly, financial or
otherwise, in the development taking place immediately
south of Chapman Point on what is commonly referred to as
the John Yeon property.
Could it be that Mr. Wessinger's real crime was in
having $250.000 and being willing to use it for the
common good?
To add to the misinformation Professor Lindsey's column
states that John Yeon wanted the state to have his beach
front property to hold, "In perpetuity as natural dune," but
that after his death his heirs, ”. . . Apparently keener
. . . on personal aggrandizement than in preserving natural
beauty, have decided to sell off to the highest bidder." The
chronology is false. I knew John Yeon. He long ago told
me that he wanted to develop the land in question in order to
create an endowment to preserve his Columbia Gorge
property in its undeveloped state. Then not too long before
his death he came to our home with Richard Brown, one of
his heirs, to tell my wife and me that he had retained Robert
Scanlon to develop a plan for the subdivision and sale of the
property. Mr. Scanlon's company is the current developer.
I don't wish to denigrate the memory of John Yeon. In his
lifetime he did many worthy things for this community and
for the state of Oregon, but the fact is that for better or for
worse the development of the dunes was initially his
decision.
A community without communication suffers greatly.
Miscommunication can be far more damaging than no
communication. If the news media fails to do its utmost to
get the facts straight the community is better off without it.
Yours Truly,
This time of year baseball fans like your beloved
editor have little to cheer them on 'til spring
training begins in February. We read the little
"transactions" in the back of the sports page,
looking for trades, folks sent up or down or over
for a player "to be named later". One lovely day
there was a small entry; the National Baseball
Association revoked the voluntary retirement of
Rhyne Sandberg, and declared him eligible to play
in the National League. The Chicago Cubs signed
him to a one year $2 million dollar contract. For
the baseball impared, let us help you catch up.
Rhyne, or Rhino as he is known, is a Golden
Glove, sure bet Hall of Fame Second Baseman who
has held down the second sack for the Cubbies for
years. Last year he, like many in the game, had
become frustrated with the owners, the general
management and a lot of the players. It wasn't fun
anymore. To be fair, he also had family problems
on his mind. But he, unlike the image of the
modem player, told the owners to take their $14
million contract and shove it, and he walked away
from something he loved. More than money is
needed to get people like Rhino on your team. The
Cubs have since changed general managers, and
there is a new spirit in the team, which became
evident at the end of this last season. And with
Sanberg and Mark Grace, the first baseman who not
only toughed it out but re-signed with the Cubs
because he could see the changes coming, the Cubs
will be "real" contenders next year, and that is not
just the opinion of "die hard" fans. Hurry, spring;
we long to see the boys play the game on the green
grass in the sunshine.

ed.- Herb, our former Mayor, as well as a former State
Supreme Court Judge, as usual has his facts right.
Yes, we did get the story twisted, and have already
apologized to the Wessingers via Gainor Minott, and hope
that they not only accept ourretraction, but our thanks for
their generous gifts to the people of Oregon. (This family
also gave us Ecola Park.)
On the other hand, we are deeply hurt by the inference
that we consider it a crime to have $250,000 dollars to give
away, or that we are more concerned with getting out a
product than we are with the truth. We try very hard in our
small way to give people access to what you call the "news
media". Unlike most newspapers, most of our contributions
are not paid for, hell; most of our ads are not paid for, but
we have; for the most part, we hope, done a pretty good job
of encouraging communication in not just Cannon Beach,
but in the wider region we call the upper left edge of these
United States. We have, of course, made mistakes. Once
