Enjoy a Gray day at the coast

I

t would take someone far better versed in biology than any of us wordjugglers at TODAY Towers to explain exactly why Gray whales choose late December to make their epic journey from Alaska to Mexico.

Whatever the reason for their end-ofyear-dash, the fact that Winter Whale Watch Week comes right after Christmas is a blessing for families of all kinds.

For those who have overindulged in eggnog and mince pies, a brisk hike to an out-of-the-way whale watching site oers the chance to work o a few of the Christmas calories. The tip of Cape

Lookout near Tillamook is an ideal candidate for anyone looking for site that will test their legs as well as their eyes.

For folks who can’t get enough of having the in laws at close quarters, Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay oers whale watching trips aboard 50-foot sightseeing boats that have room for the whole family.

Need a little time away from grandma?

Get her comfortable on the charter boat and then take o on a high-adrenalin trip of your own, courtesy of Whale Research EcoExcursions. These former Coast Guard Zodiac dinghies oer a

close-to-the-water perspective that puts passengers face to face with passing Grays. For proof of the dramatic sights on oer, look no further than this week’s front-page photo, courtesy of Captain Carrie Newell.

Last but by no means least, for those who feel the season of indulgence can safely carry on for a few more days, Fathoms Restaurant & Bar in Lincoln City is home to what is undeniably the most comfortable whale watching site on the coast. Treat yourself to a well-earned cocktail, nestle into a couch and admire the view.

In a coastal barber shop

By Steve Sabatka There I was, sitting beneath a painting of a weary-faced Albert Einstein — an image you don’t see on the walls of most barber shops — and listening to my very cute, latter-day hippie barber talking about how she doesn’t take a camera with her when she goes to the beach anymore because she wants to see the world as it really is, like holistically, man, and not as either a good or bad composition, when the sixfoot praying mantis came from across the street and into the barber shop.

I had seen him, outside, standing across the street and seemingly unaffected by the late-November morning drizzle. Tall and thin he was, unnaturally pale, in an almost fungal kind of way, and dressed from head to toe in black, KGB-lookin’ leather. The mantis carried a briefcase, and seemed to be waiting for just the right time to do … something.

I wasn’t concerned, though. Or even curious. If the barber shop had been in Salem or Roseburg or Albany, an insectoid Soviet agent might’ve stood out as unusual. But we were on the Oregon Coast, after all, and in this part of the world, the scoring rubric for what is strange and what isn’t strange or even suspicious, is calibrated a tad differently. Just a few days before, I had seen a young man walking through the driving rain, carrying a waterlogged guitar on his back — and wearing an authentic, antique Japanese sword at his side. Another time I saw a mailman wearing a fez.

But now the secret agent/mantis man stood just a few feet away, smiling with what appeared to be someone else’s false teeth — and somehow dry as pie crust. (Can you Scotch Guard KGB leather?) His eyes were warped and magnified by thick, round lenses, but as far as I could tell, if they were not compound, insect eyes.

When the mantis man spoke, his voice was human, and not the buzzclicking of insect mouth parts, and there was no trace whatsoever of a foreign, Boris-and-Natasha accent that I could discern. “You were wrong to doubt me,” he said, nodding, not to my hippie barber, but to the head barber,

the man that owned and ran the joint, an intimidating guy who looked a lot like Ernest Borgnine in “From Here to Eternity.”

The head barber didn’t respond, didn’t even look up. But his customer, a Coast Guard lieutenant, seemed a little uncomfortable to be caught in the middle of this weird exchange, and probably suspected that a drug deal was in the offing.

I whispered over my shoulder. “Do you know this guy?”

“I’m definitely getting a creepy, authoritarian vibe, man,” my hippie barber whispered back. “He looks like he doesn’t know the Cold War ended.”

“I have a well-placed connection in Hong Kong,” the mantis said. “His name is Fong. Mister Fong.”

Yep, I thought. Heroin, probably, or some other awful, exotic opioid. I had to fight the instinct to bail out of there in a flurry of hair clippings and thrown cash. But the only guys that leave a barber chair before the job is done are tough guys like Edward G. Robinson in “Key Largo,” and I’m just a high school teacher and could lose my license for doing something so bold and decisive.

The mantis went on. “A shipping crate was damaged in transit, several years ago. Mister Fong was able to write off the damage as a total loss, but in actuality, two of the figures inside were untouched, and he kept them.”

Figures. That sounded less ominous.

Was he talking about Hummels?

Something from the Franklin Mint?

“Keep talking,” the head barber said.

“Mister Fong gave one of the figures to a young lady friend in exchange for romantic favors,” the mantis said, and his words clacked and snapped through those poorly fitted, possible handcarved teeth. “I was able to ... persuade ... him to part with the remaining one.”

Persuade? How? Thumbscrews?

Ernest Borgnine seemed interested, now. He looked up. “Condition?”

“You be the judge.” That’s when the praying mantis from the wrong side of the Iron Curtain reached into that sinister briefcase, pulled out the obscure object of desire and mystery, and handed Woody to Ernest Borgnine.

That’s right. Woody, from “Toy

Story.” About a foot long. The goofy smile. The glued-on hat.

My hippie barber clapped like a child. “I love Woody!”

The lieutenant beamed, and I knew right away that he had grown up watching “Toy Story,” and all those other Pixar epics, over and over again when he was a kid, and that he knew the lyrics to all those annoying songs.

Yeah, yeah, I didn’t see why everybody was making a fuss over a doll, but I found out later that the Disney people had cancelled their contract with the Chinese manufacturer after the initial run, making Woody a rare commodity indeed.

“My daughter will love it!” Ernest Borgnine held Woody in his big hands and suddenly morphed into beaming a six-year-old on Christmas morning.

His face radiated with the glow of a fireplace that wasn’t really there. “This will be the greatest Christmas ever!”

“She’s one lucky girl,” my hippie barber said.

I had to agree. All that was missing right now were a montage of slow, Spielberg-style zooms: Awed expressions. Warm smiles. And I halfexpected to those folks from that last scene in “It’s a Wonderful Life” to show up. But Frank Capra wasn’t directing this scene, and neither was Steven Spielberg. This was real life. With real folks. Best of all, that annoying blondhaired kid from “A Christmas Story” was nowhere in sight.

And then the scene ended. Money, quite a bit of it, exchanged hands. The leather-clad mantis man went back to central casting. I lied to my hippie barber about how much I loved “Toy Story” – even though I had never seen it.

Post script: I still can’t help but wonder if anyone ever sat down in that barber shop, pointed to that painting of Einstein, and said, “Make me look like that.”

Volunteering in the afterlife

The “gerbil gloves” that caused the author such confusion

By Dana Grae Kane o, not THAT afterlife; the one you have been living since you retired from working life. I am pretty sure there is nothing “voluntary” about The Other One. Volunteering is one of best ways I know to give meaning to our post-working-lives, no matter how we came to be retired. If you were among the most fortunate wageearners, you enjoyed a successful career and left it — dare I say it — voluntarily.

You might also be among those happily kicked into early retirement with the golden boot. Wherever you may fall in the retirement spectrum, volunteering may be one of the best things you do with the rest of your life. It certainly is proving true for me.

Afraid you might embarrass yourself by leaping blindly into an area about which you know absolutely nothing?

I assure you, you can’t possibly make more of a fool of yourself than I did as a novice volunteer. I, too, was hesitant to even tiptoe outside the comfort zone of my competence, of which I had been so proud for so many working years.

When I gingerly ventured to enter my first volunteer venue, the Connie Hansen Garden, I felt utterly out of place among extremely knowledgeable, highly experienced gardeners, some of whom are professionals, able to reel off the name of every plant on the planet in English and Latin. I soon found that there were many volunteers there just like me.

While it had always been my dream

to spend as much of my life as possible working outdoors in gardens, reality sentenced me to 45 years in airless Los Angeles and San Francisco financial district office towers where any real plants were dead. I served this time for the same reason mobster Willie Sutton robbed banks: “That’s where the money is.” Given this indoor background and a considerable degree of visual impairment, I thought I should avoid risking damage to prized Connie Hansen plantings by sticking to weeding the pathways. I am proud to say that the title of Gnoble Weeding Gnome has been bestowed upon me. I have also come to know that the work I and other gnomes do is extremely important to the health and longevity of the garden in a way that was not at first obvious to me: The more hand-weeding, the less the necessity to poison the soil with weedkiller. I am pleased that this will be our environmental legacy.

One of my more memorable faux pas occurred at the Garden House table where we volunteers climb out of the mud in mid-work session to recharge over brown-bag lunches. This particular day, there arose the subject of a certain type of garden gloves for sale in our gift shop. Someone was describing the gloves and I, my hearing having diminished to match my vision, thought these had been described as “gerbil gloves.”

While I understand that gerbils, en masse, must of necessity be treated as undesirable pests, they are to me the same as cute, cuddly hamsters. Instantly incensed at the unimaginable horror of

skinning little gerbils to make gloves, I could not fathom how such a group of profoundly pronounced pet-lovers, seemingly enlightened about the ethical treatment of animals, would ever consider such ghastly gloves. As I was muttering disgustedly under my breathe, “Gerbil gloves!!” preparatory to breathing fire on the group and spray-painting any obscene fur coat that might be secreted in the closet, the neighboring volunteer leaned over to me and tactfully whispered in my ear: “Durable, dear.” Thanks to her, I was able to swallow my words in a strategic coughing fit. I have ever since worn a pair of these sturdy gloves while weeding, reminding me of the virtues of being a good listener and not jumping to conclusions. This has served me well at board meetings and on committees elsewhere in the community.

All humor aside, volunteering is too important to our financially challenged communities to let anything as trivial as the above stop us from trying to make a good difference. You are sorely needed from one end of the coast to the other.

None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something. Others are waiting for you to help them stock the food banks and pantries, and deliver Meals on Wheels to low-income elderly and disabled people. You may prefer to work one-on-one, preparing a hot meal in your kitchen for a needy neighbor or taking someone to the grocery store and the pharmacy. Just considering Lincoln City alone, there are more opportunities than space exists to list. You can donate a day to Beachtown Charities Thrift Store,

6 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • december 23, 2016

where part of the proceeds benefit Family Promise. You might also help with the outreach meal service at your church, tutor English as a second language, make the coffee at the Senior Center, help with family respite daycare at North End Senior Solutions or lend a hand at the library, the animal shelter, the historical museum or the pioneer cemetery. You can also assist with the Backpack Program, loading food and books for the weekend for children who depend, often entirely, on the two daily meals provided only when school is in session. At holiday time, you can join the Community Center crew serving Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner.

On the very serious side of winter, there is something you can volunteer to do that well may be more important than anything else you could do. You can help staff the Lincoln City Warming Shelter, which operates when temperatures drop to near freezing. Last year, when torrential rain and gale-force wind blasted Lincoln City on Thanksgiving Day, a small group of volunteers got up from their family Thanksgiving feasts and brought their food to the Warming Shelter at the Congregational Church.

For 13 nights from Thanksgiving to New Years, these few exhausted, doggedly determined volunteers sheltered 26 chronically homeless people, who otherwise would have been in danger of freezing to death, providing them with warm clothing and serving 209 meals to them and other homeless. Volunteering is not just something to do; it’s sometimes a matter of life or death.

A salute to

SOLVE

This Christmas, meet Mr. Claws...

Newport’s Oregon Coast Aquarium will be serving up an in-depth look at the state’s favorite crustacean this Wednesday, Dec. 28, marking Crab Fishery Day with a celebration of the Dungeness crab.

Bearing the imperial-sounding Latin name Metacarcinus magister, this iconic West Coast species is sought after by humans and nonhumans alike for its delicious and abundant meat. Some 14 million pounds of crab are landed each season from coastal Oregon and the Columbia River estuary, making it the state’s the most valuable single-species commercial fishery.

In addition, the planktonic larvae of these crabs fill intertidal waters in fall, providing sustenance to everything from juvenile rockfish and salmon to migrating gray whales.

“It is so wonderful we have healthy, sustainable fisheries right here in Newport,” said aquarium Education Specialist Jenni Remillard. “Crab Fishery Day is meant to highlight all that goes into the Dungeness crab fishery, from tossing crab pots to the market.”

Visitors can expect crab-centric demonstrations from aquarium staff, volunteers and partner organizations, including the Oregon Dungeness Crab Commission, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,

Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife and Oregon State Parks.

All aspects of Dungeness crab will be covered, from their anatomy and behavior, to their role as one of Oregon’s most important commercial fisheries, to the marine and estuarine

environments that nurture them.

The aquarium’s aquarists will host dissections and serve up a special meal for the aquarium’s crabs so visitors can observe how they eat.

Crab Fishery Day activities are free with aquarium admission.

Located at 2820 SE Ferry Slip Road, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is open every day this winter from 10 am to 5 pm except for December 25. For more information, go to aquarium.org or call 541-867-3474.

The uniform amounts to little more than a pair of rubber boots and a rain jacket, but the rank of Zone Captain with SOLVE offers the chance to play a key role in the coast’s beach cleanups.

SOLVE is currently seeking a new Zone 6 Captain to coordinate beach cleanups at Roads End Wayside, the D River Wayside, SW 51st Street and Gleneden Beach. The Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup is slated for April 1 and the fall Beach & Riverside Cleanup for September 23.

“The success of Oregon’s coastwide cleanups depends on well-organized Zone Captains,” said program co-ordinator Joy Hawkins.

“These are volunteer leaders who, with the support and technical assistance from SOLVE, work with local trash haulers, recruit and train Beach Captains for each check-in site, order free supplies, and spread the word about the cleanups through local outreach.”

No experience is necessary, and all training, materials and supplies are provided.

For more information or a full position description, contact Hawkins at joy@ solveoregon.org or 503-8449571 x317.

SOLVE is a statewide nonprofit organization that brings people together to improve the environment and build a legacy of stewardship.

The group mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to clean up beaches and rivers and restore natural areas and neighborhoods.

Enjoy some pointed comedy this New Year’s Eve

Stay current, with D.C. Portland comedian and musician D.C. Malone will bid farewell to 2016 in his own inimitable style in a New Year’s Eve show at Garibaldi’s Old Mill Marina Resort.

Organized by the Tillamook Rotary Club, the evening will offer a tri-tip and chicken dinner along with standup comedy, music and dancing — all for just $50 per person.

“We were able to bring D.C. to the Coliseum two years ago … and he was a huge hit,” said organizer Brett Hurliman. “I had several people leave messages after the show telling me, ‘We have seen comics in Vegas and LA, but we have never seen someone that good! How did you get him to Tillamook?’ It’s amazing what the proper leverage (blackmail from the ’90s) can get a person!”

Malone was born in Eugene, the son of a jazz drummer mortician. He lived in a mortuary till he was 13 years old, something he later said gave his comedy career an early jump start.

Originally a drummer like his father, Malone started playing guitar at age 10. But his life changed radically when he heard his first comedy album.

“My grandmother gave me an Allen Sherman record when

I was a kid and I was hooked,” he said. After that he split his time between the Beatles and the Smothers Brothers.

Leaving home at 16, Malone traveled to Toronto, where he met his future partner and longtime friend Hampton Nootcheez.

Although they began with aspirations of rock stardom, they both realized with time that they were much too cynical to be serious musicians. Nature took its course and a comedy team was born.

Hitchhiking more than 40,000 miles in the early ’70s and traveling extensively around Europe and the Far East, Malone has gathered life experience that shows in his work. He has created a show filled with hilarious songs backed by expert guitar rhythm, phenomenal finger picking and stories directly inspired by his own fascinating life.

The Saturday, Dec. 31, event will begin at 7 pm with a social hour. Dinner will be served at 8 pm followed by Malone’s standup show. The evening will conclude with live music f rom D.C. and the Jones.

Only 200 tickets are available and can be purchased from any Tillamook Rotary Club member or from Yo Time Yogurt in downtown Tillamook.

It looks like Portland is going to be a pretty serious place this New Year’s Eve, with the cream of the city’s comedy talent boarding a bus bound for Lincoln City.

The droll delegation will perform two shows at the Eventuary events center on Saturday, Dec. 31, serving up comedy gold alongside live music from coastal reggae-pop band Jaskamon.

Topping the bill of performers is Adam Pasi, who recently took first place in Willamette Week’s rundown of the five funniest comedians in Portland.

Pasi started his comedy career in 2012, after spending a decade as a nurse’s assistant — a job he later lost after becoming besotted with the open-mic scene.

Also taking to the Eventuary stage is Amanda Arnold, who took fifth place in the Willamette Week poll. A recovering banker, Arnold has traded her cushy job and stable relationship for life with a pack of roommates and performing comedy in BDSM dungeons.

Alex Rios is also heading west for the show, adding Lincoln City to his ever-growing list of tour locations. Now in his fifth year as a professional comedian, Rios has appeared at the Ventura Comedy Festival, the Idaho Laugh Fest and the Savage Henry Comedy Festival, and performs at Helium Comedy Club and Harvey’s Comedy Club, both in Portland.

Rounding out the group is Trevor Thorpe, a man whose biting political comedy is matched only by a truly stupendous beard — even by the high standards of Stumptown.

Host Tony C will preside over a 7 pm and a 10 pm show, with doors opening at 6 and 9:30 pm respectively. An Italian dinner and drink specials will also be on offer.

Tickets for this 21-and-over gig are $15 apiece and available at eventuary.eventbrite.com or by calling 541-992-1255.

The Eventuary is located at 560 SW Fleet Avenue.

HOOKED ON THEATER New bikes and freshly unwrapped toys might struggle for attention in the week after Christmas Day — as kids throughout Lincoln City devote all their energies to staging a musical featuring Peter Pan. Students will put “Peter & Wendy� together from scratch from Dec. 26 through 31 in a Missoula Children’s Theatre program sponsored by the Music is Instrumental Project.

When Captain Hook sends his right-hand man Smee on a quest to capture Peter Pan, it’s seemingly business as usual ‌ at first.

Auditions for “Peter & Wendy� will be held at noon, sharp, on Monday, Dec. 26, at Taft High 7-12, 3780 Spyglass Ridge Drive in Lincoln City.

Those auditioning should arrive no later than 11:50 am, and plan to stay for two full hours. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition.

Among the roles to be cast are Peter and his Shadow; Tinkerbell and the Lost Boys; Wendy and her brothers John and Michael; their parents Mr. and Mrs. Darling; and their faithful friends Nana and Liza.

Budding thespains can also try out for roles as Captain Hook and his Pirate Crew; the Crocodile; Tiger Lily, the band of Neverlanders and Neverland Creatures; and, carrying them to Neverland, a group of stormy Clouds.

14 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • december 23, 2016

Students in grades 1 to 12 are encouraged to audition and no advance preparation is necessary.

Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities.

Participation is free, thanks to the Music is Instrumental Project of the Siletz Bay Music Festival and the Oregon Community Foundation. Other support has come from the Taft HELP Program and the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Missoula Children’s Theatre touring productions come complete with costumes, scenery, props and makeup. The group

will conduct rehearsals throughout the week from noon to 4:30 pm each day at Taft 7-12. Cast members, parents and guardians must agree to attend rehearsals throughout the week and to perform in two shows on Saturday. “Peter & Wendy� will be performed twice, at noon and 3:30 pm on Saturday, Dec. 31, in the Commons at Taft High 7-12.

Add some color to the holidays, with Winter Whale Watch Week

By Patrick Alexander

aunted by the prospect of holidayseason travel? Spare a thought for a species that will also be on the move this Christmas — and likely putting in a few more miles than you.

December is when gray whales embark on their annual 12,000-mile migration from the Arctic Ocean to lagoons off the coast of Mexico, where the females give birth in the warmer waters.

The migration, which sees an estimated 20,000 whales making their way along the Oregon Coast during a four-week period, is the reason behind the Winter Whale Watch Week, organized by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD).

From Tuesday, Dec. 27, through Saturday, Dec, 31, OPRD will set up 24 observation stations at state parks and headlands along the coast, with 22 in Oregon and one apiece in California and Washington. At each site, trained

volunteers are on hand to help people maximize their chances of seeing some of the Baja-bound giants.

The program is headquartered in the OPRD’s Whale Watching building in Depoe Bay, which, in addition to helpful staff, boasts a wealth of interpretive displays about whales and other marine life.

Elsewhere on the Central Coast, headlands have historically topped the list of whale sightings, with Cape Lookout near Tillamook and Cape Foulweather just south of Depoe Bay leading the rankings.

And if you spot better with a martini in your hand, nowhere quite compares to Fathoms Restaurant & Bar on the 10th floor of the Inn at Spanish Head in Lincoln City.

With gray whales tending to swim between three and five miles from shore, most sightings are of whale spouts, the exhalation of roughly 400 liters of air that blasts water up to 12 feet in the air.

Occasionally, if the whales are a little

FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, THE CENTRAL COAST OBSERVATION STATIONS ARE:

A whale calf breaches right next to the “Jimmy Buffet” Zodiac, just outside Depoe Bay Harbor

closer to shore, watchers will be able to see their backs when they come out of the water.

And very occasionally, a patient watcher might be rewarded with the Holy Grail of whale watching — a breach, where the whale thrusts its body out of the water.

The sheer size of the gray whale makes even a partial breach quite a feat.

Full size females reach 45 feet in length, the size of a yellow school bus, and

16 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • december 23, 2016

weigh in at 70,000 pounds. Males tend to be smaller at roughly 35 feet long.

The whale watching sites are open from 10 am to 1 pm every day throughout Winter Whale Watch Week, with volunteers clearly identified by a placard reading “whale watching spoken here.”

For people who want a closer look at the passing giants, the prospect of a boat trip into the path of the migration is complicated only

by the December weather.

While several operators, offer boat trips when weather is fair, a winter storm can put such excursions off limits while the ocean is rough and for days afterward.

Whale Research EcoExcursions, offers whale-watching trips in former Coast Guard Zodiacs, each of which can carry six passengers in a close-tothe-water trip that puts passengers face-to-face with the whales.(Fun fact: one of those Zodiacs used to belong to cocktail-loving crooner Jimmy Buffet).

Trips are one and a half hours and cost $40. To check availability, call the museum at 541-912-6734.

Meanwhile, Dockside Charters invites whale watchers to take to the waters aboard a 50-footer with heated cabin, indoor seating and a restroom.

Trips from Dockside are also and hour and a half and cost $20 for adults and $10 for children aged 5 to 12.

Under 5s travel for free.

To check availability, call Dockside Charters at 541-765-2545.

Museum hosts a new Eve-nt A new Christmas tradition at Newport’s Pacific Maritime Heritage Center will give guests the chance to enjoy festive cheer, bone up on local history and pick up a few last-minute gifts at the same time.

The center will be offering free admission

from 11 am to 4 pm this Christmas Eve, Saturday, Dec. 24, and treating guests to goodies, hot cocoa and popcorn while supplies last.

For last-minute Christmas shoppers, the gift shop stocks everything from books on local, regional and maritime history to crafts by local artisans and

a range of wooden toys that are sure to inspire and delight — with no batteries required. Lincoln County Historical Society members will receive a 20-percent discount on most gift shop items.

For those looking for something truly special, check out the Low Tide Landscapes

fine art photography exhibit in the Maritime Gallery, where many of the pieces are for sale.

The Pacific Maritime Heritage Center is located at 333 SE Bay Blvd on the Newport Bayfront. Parking is available at the top of the hill. For more information, call 541-265-7509.

Serving up spirit in Lincoln City Organizers of Operation Christmas Spirit are once again digging deep and serving up a free, traditional Christmas dinner to the greater Lincoln City community.

Staff from Chinook Winds Casino Resort are taking the lead on organizing the event, which will run from 10 am to 3 pm on

Saturday, Dec. 25, at the Lincoln City Community Center.

North Lincoln Sanitary Service chips in by providing free garbage pick-up after the event but the program still needs desserts to round out the holiday meal.

“We’ve been able to count upon our generous bakers’

contributions in years past,” said Heather Hatton of Chinook Winds. “This year, we expect nearly 500 people — or more — to stop in for a traditional hot Christmas dinner.”

Desserts can be dropped off at the community center from noon to 4 pm on Friday, Dec. 24, or from 9 am to noon on

Christmas Day. Donations of blankets, sleeping bags, hats and gloves are also being accepted to help the needy prepare for the cold weather approaching the coast.

New items can be dropped off at Kenny’s IGA north, Little Antique Mall, North Lincoln Sanitary and the Lincoln City

The “Season of Simon” will continue at Lincoln City’s Theatre West when the curtain goes up on Neil Simon’s “The Sunshine Boys” on Tuesday, Dec. 27.

Al and Willie, aka: “Lewis and Clark” were top-billed vaudevillians for more than 40 years. Now they aren’t even speaking. When CBS requests them for a “History of Comedy” retrospective, the two stage a grudging reunion, prompting a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.

Directed by Stina SeegerGibson, the comedy stars Rich Emery as Willie Clark, Steve Griffiths as Al Lewis, Andrew Schmitz as Ben Silverman, John Jeans as

Eddie, Max Johnson as the patient and Terri King and Debbie Gerber as the nurses.

Opening week will see performances at 7:30 pm from Tuesday, Dec. 27, through Friday, Dec. 30.

After that it will be presented at 7:30 pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday through Jan. 21, with a 2 pm matinée on Sunday, Jan. 15.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $13 for seniors (60 and over) and students over 12, and $10 for children 12 and under.

Special group discounts are also available. For tickets, call 541-994-5663.

Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy. 101, Lincoln City. For more information, go to theatrewest.com.

Community Center right through Christmas Eve. Operation Christmas Spirit was created years ago

by Betty Fry to feed people that might otherwise have a bleak and hungry holiday or simply would otherwise be alone for their holiday meal.

Families and individuals join the celebration with Santa, Christmas music and a complete hot turkey dinner.

“From those who help serve to those who partake; this is a heartwarming event,” Hatton said.

Bold = Minus Tides. Tide tables are for recreational use. If you’re piloting the “Costa Concordia II” in front of your college roommate’s oceanfront bungalow at Otter Crest or Cape Lookout, talk to a harbormaster. Tide info courtesy tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov.

If you discover a seal pup or other stranded marine animal on the beach, do not approach, touch, or pour water on the animal. Instead, call 800-452-7888. Keep dogs leashed and far from all marine mammals.

Japanese Tsunami Debris Info: Information on significant marine debris sightings on the coast can be reported to the NOAA Marine Debris Program at DisasterDebris@noaa.gov.
