Theatre. Photos at
https://gvfa.smugmug.com/Events/CoasterTheatre/DeadGuiltyJan2016.  A tense
psychological study of guilt and obsession by the author of *The Business
of Murder*. *Dead Guilty *concerns an attractive young graphic artist whose
leg is badly injured in a car crash that occurred when a business associate
suffered a fatal heart attack at the wheel. Housebound and depressed, Julia
is tormented when things disappear, a Mexican orange blossom materializes
on her shambling Victorian terrace and someone prowls upstairs at night.
While a kindly counselor contends with Julia’s manic tendencies and a
besotted handyman helps around the house, the excessively solicitous widow
invades Julia’s life. Suspense builds as the question becomes whether the
affair Julia was enjoying with her now dead colleague will cost her her own
life. More info at http://coastertheatre.com/calendar/2016

12. GeorgeV: Cannon Beach voter's legalized recreational marijuana by a 2-1
vote. The state has placed considerable restrictions and requirements on
retail outlets. By referendum, with sufficient signatures, our precinct
voters could put to a vote whether a retail outlet could be located in
Cannon Beach. The city could create ordinances with time, place and manner
restrictions that go beyond those already in place by the state. These
restrictions could only apply to the sale, not to the use. Even though
marijuana is now legal, it can not be smoked in public. Nor can it be
smoked in a retail marijuana store. A retail marijuana store must be a
standalone store and not part of another store. Because recreational
marijuana is still illegal under Federal law and banks are federally
insured, income from retail marijuana stores can not be deposited in
federally insured banks without the risk of confiscation. Likewise,
buildings with loans from banks federally insured cannot house retail
marijuana stores without those loans being pulled.  Because the Cannon
Beach Academy will be located in mid-town and the state has placed a 1000'
buffer on compulsory schools, almost all of mid-town would be off limits
for an outlet, but commercial zones in downtown and Tolovana Park would not
be off limits. Currently Astoria has 4 outlets, Seaside 3,  Manzanita 1 and
Rockaway 1.  Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Colorado and WA DC have legalized
recreational marijuana. Up to a dozen more states may be voting this year.

whose medium is *LIFE* itself,  And who express the inexpressible.
Without  brush,
pencil, chisel, or guitar. They neither paint or dance, Their medium is
*BEING.* Whatever their hand touches has increased life. They see and don’t
have to draw. *They are the artists of being alive.” *
