Now & Then
It appears that we (no, not the paper or the
bookstore, but the part of “we" that is
planning a Guttenberg experience, as our
constant readers well know ,) have become the
Left Coast Group (a Non-Profit Corporation in
Oregon). This is our humble attempt to
create living wage jobs in a service wage
town. This “group” (never doubt that your
beloved editor is an absolute, though
compassionate, dictator) will make books.
We realize that to make books, we need
writers, illustrators, paper, ink, a press, a
few cameras, a printer, more paper, housing,
binders, distribution folks, more writers,
photographers, more illustrators, a lot more
paper. This is w here you come in. We want
you to send us paper, well, checks really.
We know many of you have and do, to support
this paper, and we thank you, but this is
different.
We are talking thousands of dollars, but
this is money you can take off your taxes.
We ask that you invest in the arts and
artists, locally, personally, and generously.
Buying art is consuming; investing in the
arts is being there for the plow ing and
planting as well as the harvest. So, now that
you have your check book out, make it out to
The Manzanita Creative Arts Council (a
501c3 Non-Profit Corporation) (Don Osborne
and his loyal band are helping us through
the IRS waiting period.) and in the memo
space write Left Coast Group. Ihen pop it in
an envelope and send it to Left Coast Group,
Box 1222 Cannon Beach, OR 97110, and rest
those poor fingers after writing so many-
zeros.
Donations of SI000 and above allows your
name or the name of someone you’d like
remembered, to be on each book printed.
The “group” will also commission books,
give writers grants, bring writers in
residence to the community. We will
occasionally print limited editions ol ‘art
books, and, yes we will probably be on the
net; oh, my.

Do you think it would help to change the
name of Enola Hill to Hatfield Hill!’
We were delighted last weekend when The
Bay City Slug (the newspaper that hates
progress) showed up at the bookstore. We
had been worried about them alter the winter
storms. They seemed to have survived with
attitude intact. They did bring us news ol
hard times down the beach to the south. It
you find yourself in Tillamook, please drop
by Rainy day- Books, and buy something! This
goes for folks all the way up and down the
coast. We have all suffered from the weather
and the highw ay closures. No, this isn’t a
plea for more tourists, it’s a call to locals on
the coast to support the small business folks
in your area that make the coast a wonderful
place to live, as well as visit.
To help me defeat Gordon Smith and Lon Mabon in the Republican
primary, May 21,1996.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE
The Republican Party in Oregon (and nationally) is perceived to be controlled by people
with a religious agenda. 1 believe in the strict separation of church and state and will only
support needed legislation that makes secular and fiscal common sense.
1 know that women and girls facing an unwanted pregnancy agonize over their o p tio n s-
options only they and trusted friends, not the government, can weigh. History teaches us
that if they choose abortion, they will get an abortion whether it is legal or not.
Knowing this, abortions must be legal and accessible.
The Asian community, the black community, the elderly, gays and lesbians, these are a few
classifications of law-abiding citizens in this country. I am opposed to governmental
discrimination against ANY law-abiding class of citizens.
Our government must be as fiscally responsible as it expects its citizens to be. 1 favor a flat
tax on all income (including interest and dividends) above a certain level, a very low federal
debt and a balanced budget.
Mostly, 1 would like people who look at the Republican Party and don't like what they see
to get involved and help redefine it as a party that solves problems with understanding and
respect for all people and does so in a fiscally responsible and sustainable manner.

We receiv ed a note from Amber Manthey;
it seems she is doing her Senior Project at
Seaside High on how music affects peoples’
moods. As a conclusion to this year-long
project, she invites us and you to gather and
listen to some local music, some prearranged,
some impromptu. A donation is asked that
will go to The Rainforest Alliance.
Homegrown Cafe will also donate 15% ol their
proceeds that afternoon to The Rainforest
Alliance. This is a good opportunity to hear
some live music, give to a great cause, and be
involved in the education process. Cool,
huh?
Saturday, May 18th, 1pm ‘til 3pm at the
Homegrown Cafe, 3301 S. Hemlock in
Tolovana Park.

To the Editor:
Dick Noonan is the man that moderate Republicans
are backing in their primary for the First
Congressional District. Noonan is for individual
freedoms whether they be reproductive rights,
lifestyle decisions, or free market pursuits, and he
has been endorsed by Republicans for Choice.
He is also a person with strong family values and
concern for us and our children. He backs tax
credits for higher education costs, opposes vouchers,
but supports public charter schools Of course, he
stands for a simplified tax system, a balanced
budget, welfare reform, and a balanced national
defense and environmental programs. Best of all,
Noonan is not a career politician.
Considering the opposition, those are qualities
that would give Republicans who want an even chance
to win a seat in Congress good reasons to vote for
Noonan in the May 21 primary.

(We agree, and hope that “moderate Republican”
will stop being considered an oxymoron, just as we
wish “liberal Democrat” will cease to be redundant.
But, in the November general election, we endorse
Elizabeth Eurse, without reservation. -Ed.)
To the Editor,
I am a college student currently enjoying my mid­
life crisis at Marylhurst College. In my poetry
class, my instructor, a certified knuckle-rapping
Sister Joan Maires (perhaps you know her?) (Indeed.
-Ed.), showed me your past issue wherein you
expounded upon the art of the diamante poem. My
assignment was to “play around with this.
Well, sir, I got inspired and wrote three of these
art forms, including perhaps a first in literary
circles -- a double diamante. I realize the contest is
long over, and have reconciled to the fact that
thousands of dollars will not be forthcoming in the
mail, but should you decide to do a follow-up piece
on this unusual art form, I would be tickled
speechless if you saw your way clear to publish one
or two of these. I’ve never been published before,
and besides, it would give me extra points with
Sister Joan.
Robert M. Conger
Professional Student
(Like you, we always do our best to stay in the
good graces of Sister Joan, so here is, as you put it,
the Dreaded Double Diamante, -ed.)
