Now & Then
H. L. Mencken wrote “In Defense of
Women” in 1922, and we think Erasmus’ “In
Praise of Folly” may have crossed his mind in
choosing the title. Mr. Mencken was far from
a feminist; he, like most men of our
acquaintance, apparently stood in a state of
wonder when it comes to the distaff side. Men
really know little or nothing about these
humans who can grow another human in
their belly. We realize that they are different
and are quite fond of those differences.
Recently Laurie Beers, a local roofing and
siding contractor, completed a triathlon in
Hawaii; and Cheri Lerma, who basically bakes
cookies for a living, won a world weight-
lifting championship in South Africa. A lot
of men understand what this represents in
time and pain, and they respect it. They don’t
pretend to understand it, but they respect it.
After fifty-two years, we are still constantly
amazed by human beings, especially women.
Cannon Beach has a rich history of
exceptional women; the “can do” women who
made Cannon Beach look like Cannon Beach,
and who are still trying to keep it looking
that way; our famous “Energy Committee”
who were asked to testify before Congress on
the off-shore oil drilling (you may have
noticed there is no drilling!).... we could go on
for pages.
It can be difficult for men to express
respect for women. Your editor has no
problem. Good work!

“ Where quality' and tradition make kids happy"
hey mom ,
Mo Stuff
Our faithful readers may not know that an
event was held to try and save the Edge and
help us publish the books we have been
talking about for over a year. The turnout
was great at the Chamber Building in Cannon
Beach, last Sunday. Your beloved Rev. was
asked to perform with the North Coast
Symphonic String Orchestra, and, well, that is
for the critics to decide, but we had a great
time, and collected over two grand for the
books, and nearly a grand for the paper. We
would have done better, but someone stole the
money folks donated for the beer and wine
that Bill’s Tavern and Laurel’s Wine Shop
gave us.
Oh, well, money comes and goes; karma, on
the other hand, lasts forever.
The Sons of the American Legion are
giving a benefit for the Edge on Dec. 8th, (see
the ad on the Music page) and if things go
well, we will be able to get the books printed
and continue to print this small effort you
hold in your hand.
As we sit here on the wind-and-rain-swept
edge, by a warm fire, we are truly grateful
for our readers, advertisers, friends, and
complete strangers, who come together and
make these things happen. Thanks.

‘Now and then’ has been the ‘sort of’
title of this editorial page for several
years now, and when we recently
noticed an editorial in the Big “O that
began in the same manner, we were
compelled to read on.
The editorial spoke ot the tact that Now
and then...” it is good to tell people something
that might make them feel that life is not just
one tragedy after another, and small steps are
being taken forward.
After one hundred and fifty years, the
story goes, the Nez Pierce are coming back to
their homeland in the Wallowa Mnts. in
eastern Oregon. The children of Chief Joseph
are coming home. We finally kept our word
as a nation.
.
Another story we heard was ot a number ot
clergv from several churches in Astoria.
They" recognized the traditional leaders of the
Chinook Tribe, and asked for forgiveness for
the sins of their fathers. Healing, they call it.
It is nice, now and then, so we must say
thanks to the Oregonian, for telling us
something that made us do that singularly
human thing of crying and smiling at the
same time. Shame and hope.
