Betsy Ayres & Katie Voelke with North Coast Land Conversancy: New at today’s meeting. North Coast Land Conservancy has been working since 1986 to conserve and connect the unique landscape of the North Oregon Coast. From the Columbia River to Lincoln City, from the crest of the Coast Range to the near shore ocean, we work to ensure that this landscape is a place where healthy communities of people, plants and wildlife can all thrive. The group owns 700 acres in Seaside’s Necanicum estuary. They are working with the State on litigation for removal of the dike at Circle Creek. This will alleviate flooding over the road by an estimated 12 inches. Katie is the director.

GeorgeV: Yesterday a 430 lb crate was left on the street in downtown Cannon Beach in front of Village Centre. In it was George’s new 44” giclee printer. Too heavy and big to get up the stairs, it had to be unpacked in a parking spot and in the rain, with the help of David Marshall, Kim Barnett, Luke and Paula, it was muscled upstairs where it will be put into action printing George’s photos and giclee art prints for some local artists.

GeorgeV: “How the Other Half Loves” opened last weekend and runs through Apr 22 at Coaster Theatre. In this brilliantly crafted, hilarious comedy, two couples in their own homes, the Fosters and the Phillipses, are visible to us but not to each other. That the characters cross so blithely into each other's spaces is an apt metaphor for the double-dealings brought on by illicit affairs. Telephone calls are made to the wrong wife or husband; idiotic conversations or hang-ups abound. When the hapless Featherstones are invited to dinner, Ayckbourn's strategic ploys step up another unbelievable notch. <a href="http://www.coastertheatre.com/OtherHalf.html" target="_blank">http://www.coastertheatre.com/OtherHalf.html</a> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>16.
