I had some beautiful moments I was going to share about the live jazz performances I had the opportunity to see last month but right now I can’t think of one nice thing to say. Dreadful thoughts o f our worlds disarray have been running circles in my mind all day. How do we make a difference in all the ugliness? When I was younger my brilliant idea was to not have children, I didn’t want to bring another life into a world that I saw going down hill fast. 1 f ig u r e d if everyone stopped conceiving we would be out o f our misery in a hundred years or so. It is almost scary now to think o f the ideas that come out o f youthful angst. Now I am older and still unsure of how to make a change, I tell m yself voting is the way but in reality is my vote going to do anything? I realize that there is beauty and wonder in the world and if you have ever read my column you would know that to be true but sometimes it is hard not to get frustrated and angry at all the injustice. • Patagonia • Teva • Woolrich • Kavu • Gramicci & More 239 N.

BOX 301 MANZANITA, OREGON 9 7 1 3 0 PHONE OR FACSIMILE When I was offered this column I thought it would be a great place to try and make a difference. 1 have used humor to get people to look at themselves and often gotten a bit sentimental hoping to do the same thing. Now I am angry and we all should be, I am not saying we should walk around pissed at the world but isn’t it time to take a look at ourselves, our community, our country and our world? We can all do something to make it better. I have a friend who volunteers her time to an organization that helps abused children, she does this while also working three jobs seven days a week. What are you doing? This paper is constantly trying to bring a higher awareness to our readers, are you listening? Voting is important but it is not nearly enough, we need to look at the things that aren’t working and change them. How is definitely the question hardest answered but if you find something that you think needs changing grab onto it and you will think o f something to help make it better. 503 368 7 5 1 8 "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?"—Florence, S.C., Jan. 11,2000 Welcome Brendan Douglas Doer! Faith and Douglas welcomed their eight pound three ounce boy child into the world in the early hours of Sept. 25th according to informed sources. I still don’t know what I am going to do to make my difference but 1 know 1 am mad enough that I will do something. I hope you are too. A Very Unique Cannon Beach Memento!
