Dev. Hults Editorial Now & Then The edge isn’t really a business, som etim es it’s barely art. We w ere touched in the darkest part of o u r tiny hearts by the response to o u r plight. You have allowed us to get back to the norm al desperate scram ble for the p rin te r’s check each m onth. We know who you are, and s ou r names are spoken at vespers, nightly, except W ednesdays, a t the old ch a p el. Deacon McCloud dropped in for services and b ro u g h t us a copy of the Oregon Historical Q uarterly (fall 1994) to let us read th e true story of the real guy w ho gave us the bottle bill. His nam e was R ichard C ham bers, he lived in Pacific City, and he h a te d tra sh . You can look it up. After reading th at we c o u ld n ’t help, going onto the M orse/Nueberger Feud, a n d the sto ry of how the Oregon Democrats re b u ilt th e p a rty in the Fifties. We realized, of co u rse th a t th is stu ff is still going on, and Oregon continues to have som e of the most unique ch aracters. T hese are a few quotes; “The plain fact is, as we should know by now, that m ost A m ericans have no great desire to be rescued from greed an d stu p id ity .” “T h ere’s only one cure for bad (political) parties, an d th at is to join them and reform them and make them good.” Howard Morgan, (Oregon Dem ocratic Party C hairm an, *52-’56) History: read it or re p e a t it.

My hu sb an d an d 1 belong to a group called “The Friends o f C hapm an Point” an d have follow ed closely the John Yeon p ro p e rty acquisition. We are aw are th a t the sale started before John died and that it was done to supposedly endow p ro p erty he had in the Columbia Gorge. That property has been “g ifted ” to (I believe) the U of O, and will never be public. The th ing th a t burns me up is that it is also in the State of W ashington, so o u r lovely dunes were sacrificed totally for gain. The only good to com e o u t o f it was that the W essingers w ere able to acquire C hapm an Point. The Point was actually a p a rt of Lot #1 on the original du n e plan that Scanlon presented to the Council. We bought o u r property on Oak in the early ‘70s. My h u sb a n d Les was resid e n t engineer on the original sewer system in C annon Beach. We lived in C.B. for 2 years -- I loved it then and love it now. We feel so fortunate to have a hom e in C. B. an d hope to retire there soon. Keep up the good work. Cannon Beach needs a voice such as y ours. I u n d e rsta n d the lots on the dunes are selling for $250,000 to 1 m illion. Can you im agine w hat kind of hom es we will have on o u r dunes!???? To The Community of Cannon Beach: S incerely, M yrna G.

Ann Morrow Lindbergh 1 Friday February 9th 8PM at Jk ECAP Box 181 Cannon Beach, OR 97110 (503)436-0211 0 IG THETRICKS Locally: Well, last m o n th we told you about o u r dream s for the C annon Beach w atershed, silly us. We now find th a t apparently it's a done deal. Four m ajor tim ber com panies: Plum Creek, W yerhauser, W illam ette Industries and probably Sim pson will divide up the holdings of C avenham , between them selves, with W illamette g etting o u r w atershed. W hen asked if they m ight be in terested in selling it to the City of Cannon Beach, the answ er was, "We are in the business o f bu y in g tim ber, not selling it." We also have learn ed th a t o u r little w atershed is w orth closer to 100 m illion than 2 m illion because it has the only tim ber over 30 years old left after C avenham 's ciearcutting. O ur trees average 50 y ears old and th a t is rare for a tree farm these days. (By the way, did you know th at the natural life span o f a Douglas Fir is 750 years? W hereas th e c u rre n t average life span is below 50 years.) So, there you have it. The impending sale of Cavenham forest land is cause for great alarm. While we have never appreciated Cavenham's policies of gated forests, herbicide spraying and immature harvests, at least we knew where we stood. Soon come new and unknown players. It is likely the new "owner" of our watershed, viewshed and forest will have borrowed heavily to fund the purchase. They will need to cut trees quickly to pay off their debt. Our beautiful Cannon Beach woodlands, so full of harvestable trees, are certain to be clear cut. At least Cavenham claimed they would preserve the view. The new purchaser is under no such obligation. The work of the community to forge an understanding with the timber barons will come to naught. What can we do? The Ecola Creek Awareness Project was created to preserve the quality of our drinking water. We believe the impending sale poses an extremely serious threat to Ecola Creek, the City's water supply, migratory salmon, and our tourist industry. We offer this solution: Community ownership of our watershed.
