Bill Laymon will be holding down the bass line for the band Edge of the West at the White Clover Grange Hall on October 29th at 8pm.
Bill has played with many great bands and musicians over the years and North Coast Music Project is excited to have him perform for us locally.
“One of the signs that you’ve made it to the major leagues, in whatever field, is the reliable excellence of your mates in the arena. Bill Laymon is a case in point, when the notes are flying thick and fast onstage, you can count on him to be there, paying attention and responding with brightness and wit.”
~ Tom Constanten – Grateful Dead

We’re reaching out in hopes you’ll join us for a citizen-led candidate forum on Thursday, October 13th at 6:30PM at the Coaster Theatre. There, we’ll better get to know candidates running for city council/mayor and explore the issues that affect us all.
This event will be put on by Vote Smart Cannon Beach, an ad hoc committee of concerned citizens. It will be non-partisan.
To be clear: our goal is not to push any particular issue, agenda or candidate, nor to comment on any individual candidate’s position—simply to better and more deeply inform the full spectrum of Cannon Beach voters.
This won’t be our first time hosting such a forum—we first convened during the 2016 election. We’re proud of our thorough and clear production of that event.
This year, with eight combined candidates running for council and mayor, order, efficiency and clarity will be paramount to the forum’s success–both in terms of covering a wide range of topics and allowing each candidate fair and equal opportunities to share.
Our intent–and we’re already hard at work–is to develop a set of questions drafted by a committee of informed and engaged citizens from disparate viewpoints, professional backgrounds, economic and social interests. The Vote Smart committee include members of the hospitality industry, artists, business owners, employees, homeowners, renters, entrepreneurs, environmentalists and more.
We aspire to build, as the saying goes, a “team of rivals”—one capable of distilling the various viewpoints of our citizens and encompassing the myriad challenges of our city politics.
We will also solicit topics of discussion and questions for the candidates from all residents of Cannon Beach. If you have a question for the candidates share it with a member of the committee or email it to us at: votesmartcannonbeach@gmail.com.
We hope–in order to keep eyes from glazing over–to conclude the event in the neighborhood of 90 minutes.
Questions asked of the candidates will be broad and wide-ranging–launch-pads from which to examine how candidates see tentpole issues facing Cannon Beach.
But, at the core, as much as we want to explore *what* the candidates think, it’s our goal to better understand *how* they think. The challenges of tomorrow may not be perceptible to us today. Like the pandemic, challenges may surprise us.
Finally, and although you hear it ad nauseum, we believe this election truly is important. A voting majority of Cannon Beach’s council (including the mayorship) is on the ballot. And with so many candidates, councilors have the potential to be elected with as little as something like 17% of the plurality.
So, with all this in mind, we hope you’ll join us in getting to better know the vision of those seeking to serve Cannon Beach in a fair, open, and unbiased way on Thursday, October 13th, beginning at 6:30PM at the Coaster Theatre.
If you have any questions about the workings of the forum, or would like to submit a query to the candidates, please email votesmartcannonbeach@gmail.com.
Thank you,
Vote Smart Cannon Beach

Join Ben Rosenberg as he introduces the principles and practices of creating monoprints and monotypes. Monotype is a distinctive print made by pressing paper against a painted or inked surface. When creating a monotype, it cannot be replicated again. It is a highly individual creation, much like painting, as it allows for spontaneity, “happy accidents,” and working along a plate surface to bring a wide range of marks that can be obtained through the creation of an image.
Topics include basic theory and use of color and composition in working with water-based, mixed media, and a variety of surfaces. This workshop will involve both conceptual approaches and direct observations using still life, the figure, abstract composition, and a variety of student investigative resources.
You will explore various monotype styles, techniques, and media used with rollers, stencils, textured surfaces, brushes, and various inventive wiping tools to create unusual one-of-a-kind prints.
Through lectures, demonstrations, discussions, and printing time, participants will develop a command of the technical aspects of monotypes and monoprints (color mixing, paint application, materials), and the properties of creating an image (line and shape, color concept, composition, abstraction) and an understanding of how formal choices create meaning.
Each day will begin with a lecture and discussion, followed by an afternoon for studio time. This class is a place where you can engage your own artistic interest and explore your personal voice.
Bring your ideas and be willing to take them further. It is a time and place to soak up everything you can and take risks.

The extractive practices of industrial forestry (clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) have already wreaked havoc on waters, wildlife and the health of too many community members. On October 17, Professor Mary Wood will discuss how natural resources that forests provide—including clean drinking water and breathable air— belong to the public trust.
Dr. Wood is a professor of law and Faculty Director of the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center at the University of Oregon. She has published extensively on the climate crisis, natural resources and native law issues.
We are honored to have her speak with North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection!
When: October 17, 6:00pm
Where: Zoom – Register on our website: www.healthywatershed.org.
For more information email: rockawaycitizen.water@gmail.com
Professor Wood will discuss how natural resources that forests provide—including clean drinking water and breathable air—belong to the public trust. She will relate this concept to the way in which extractive practices of industrial forestry (such as clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) have grave impacts to water, wildlife, and the public health of many communities on the coast and elsewhere in Oregon.
Mary Christina Wood is the Philip H. Knight Professor of Law at the University of Oregon and the Faculty Director of the law school’s nationally acclaimed Environmental and Natural Resources Law Center. She is an award-winning professor and the co-author of leading textbooks on public trust law and natural resources law. Her book, “Nature’s Trust,” sets forth a new paradigm of global ecological responsibility.
Prof. Wood originated the legal approach called Atmospheric Trust Litigation, now being used in cases brought on behalf of youth throughout the world who are seeking to hold governments accountable to reduce carbon pollution within their jurisdictions. She has developed a corresponding approach called Atmospheric Recovery Litigation which would hold fossil fuel companies responsible for funding an Atmospheric Recovery Plan to draw down excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere using natural climate solutions. Professor Wood is a frequent speaker on climate issues and has received national and international attention for her sovereign trust approach to global climate policy.

Please join North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection Thursday, October 6, 2022 for a peaceful rally against Wall St. corporation-backed, destructive timber industry practices!
WHERE and WHEN:
On the coast – 3:30 p.m. at the Big Orange Chair (Hwy 101 and Broadway) at the Seaside Visitor’s Bureau
In Portland – 3:30 P.M. at South Hawthorne Waterfront Park for the march to S.W. Park & Montgomery for a rally at 4:30 P.M.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, sunscreen, good walking shoes, optional signs and banners)
WHY: TIAA and other Wall St. corporations are helping to bankroll the climate crisis through their funding of deforestation and fossil fuels. We are joining forces with Sun Rise Movement PDX, and other environment organizations in the Forest Climate Alliance to take a stand against the irresponsible industrial forestry practices (clearcutting followed by pesticide spraying) that are decimating Oregon’s forested watersheds. These practices are designed with the aim of maximum profit for Wall St. corporations (like TIAA and others) and providing payouts to corporate shareholders—who are invested in Oregon timber companies, like GreenWood Resources. The price of these practices is the health of our communities, and a liveable planet for future generations.
We hope to see you there!
With Love,
NCCWP
