GLENEDEN BEACH — “In our new, post-truth landscape, facts are so last year — right?� No sir, you are wrong, empirically and irrefutably so. Let the folks at the Oregon Coast Learning Institute rekindle your faith in the value of knowledge with the start of their winter semester.

LINCOLN CITY — At 81 years young, local theater star Elizabeth Black is still running a lemonade stand. But rather than doling out cups of summer refreshment, this zesty dame is dispensing hard-won wisdom from a life spent aiming high and occasionally falling at.

See her latest “Lemon Ladies� show this Saturday.

NEWPORT — Gavels play a crucial role in local government; opening, closing and occasionally enlivening council meetings all around the state. But a pair of coastal mayors have found that those little wooden hammers are just the thing for hanging artwork too. Catch the Mayors’ Show in Newport this Friday.

OTIS — Never mind this endless talk about the president-elect, it’s time to focus on the residents-select. See the ďŹ nest work

from the editor from the Sitka Center’s artists-in-residence this Saturday as the wooded campus opens its doors for a meet-and-greet.

BEAVER — It’s tough to pick just one item from the Top 10 list of winter adventures to be had in Tillamook County, but the hike to Pheasant Creek Falls and Niagara Falls is well worth bundling up for.

Despite the famous name, you won’t see anyone going over the edge in a barrel. In fact, if you get your timing right you might not see anyone else at all. Bliss.

The

Sunshine Boys

Theatre West schticks it where the sun don’t shine Story & photos by Rebecca Stone For Oregon COAST TODAY

With this Lewis and Clark team, you won’t need a map and compass to find the laughs.

A shot of schmaltz here, a dash of bitters there, and the second offering in Theatre West’s Neil Simon series, “The Sunshine Boys,” serves up a wry cocktail to warm the chilliest winter evenings on the Oregon Coast. Infused with the typical sharp-edged Simon oneliners, the play that unfolds on the Jack Coyne stage revolves around Al Lewis and Willie Clark, a couple of aging vaudevillians.

Formerly known as the Sunshine Boys, Lewis and Clark were legendary comedic geniuses in their heyday. But after performing together for more than 40 years, the two stopped speaking when, after a performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Lewis abruptly decided to retire, leaving Clark without a partner.

Theatre West stalwart Rich Emery plays Clark like a well-worn coat. He’s a curmudgeon, who lives in a cheap hotel room with a small TV set for a companion. Outside of calling on the building superintendent to “fix” his TV, which is actually only unplugged, and his front door, which he can’t seem to figure how to unlock, his main source of social interaction appears to be the weekly visits from his nephew Ben. Portrayed by newcomer Andrew Schmitz, Ben, who also doubles as Clark’s agent, dutifully brings him weekly copies of Variety so he can keep track of show biz goings-on.

Although Ben’s gotten him readings for potato chip and shaving commercials, Clark can’t remember his lines. So he lives on Social Security, and hasn’t worked in the decade since the split. But when Ben proposes that the comedy team reunite for a CBS History of Comedy special, Clark is outwardly dismissive, yet secretly thrilled. Despite the deep resentment he still harbors toward his former partner, he longs to work again.

Above: Terri King’s “Sexy Nurse” works on a scene with Willie Clark (Rich Emery) Left: Steve Griffiths as Al Lewis and Rich Emery as Willie Clark Below: Lewis (left) and Clark (seated) reunite after a meeting brokered by Clark’s nephew Ben

Once Lewis, played by an elegant Steve Griffiths, agrees to the reunion and arrives at Clark’s apartment, the two set about rehearsing their classic doctor and tax collector routine. But they can’t even agree on how to arrange the “set” or what the first uttered word should be.

Clark’s bitterness starts to boil over, which ignites the ire of Lewis, and Simonesque explosions ensue. It’s only a preview of how the actual dress rehearsal of the sketch — a politically incorrect timepiece, complete with “sexy nurse,” gamely played

by Terri King — will unfold.

Lewis and Clark are polar opposites: Lewis is tall, sunny and almost regal; Clark is short, grouchy and lives in his pajamas. But all the sputtering from Clark belies a deeper respect he feels for his former partner — though spiked with a barbed chaser. As he tells his nephew, “Al Lewis was the best. As an actor, no one could touch him. As a human being, no one wanted to touch him.”

“The Sunshine Boys” originally debuted on stage in 1972, and has also been made into two movies, one starring George Burns and Walter Matthau, and the second featuring Woody Allen and Peter Falk. As a dramatic comedy, its

humor, set-up gags and wisecracks only partially cloak an underlying poignancy — almost a wistfulness for an era that no longer exists and of career success that can’t be recaptured.

The line between comedy and drama is adeptly bridged by Theatre West fixture Stina Seeger-Gibson, as director, with Karen Davis as assistant director.

Seeger-Gibson, who holds degrees in acting and directing from San Jose State University, is particularly suited to manning the helm of this production thanks to her background in vaudeville and melodrama.

“Neil Simon is very wordy, but so brilliant,” she said. “And I love to direct.”

The rest of the cast and crew fueling this production are Debbie Gerber as the no-nonsense real nurse; John Jeans, appropriately officious as Eddie the Director; Max Johnson as a hapless “patient;” Paul Wilhelmi as “The Voice;” and Kate Daschel on lights and sound.

Audiences who choose to spend time with the Sunshine Boys are sure to enjoy a couple of happy hours of unfettered chuckling. And couldn’t we all do with a little chuckling as we head into the new year?

Consider your January

anuary on the Oregon Coast is a great time to cuddle up with a good book. And Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library is offering the chance to sidle up to the author, too, as it holds its annual Oregon Legacy Series.

The series, hosted by the Friends of Driftwood Public Library, began 22 years ago as a way to celebrate the library’s move to its new facility at Lincoln Square. Each year, it welcomes authors whose works have a strong Oregon connection to visit and talk about their writing.

The series opens on Sunday, Jan. 8, with a visit from Lois Leveen, the award-winning author of “Juliet’s Nurse” and “The Secrets of Mary Bauser.” A confirmed book geek, Leveen earned degrees in history and literature from Harvard, the University of Southern California and UCLA, and taught on the faculty of UCLA and of Reed College. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the LA Review of Books, the Chicago Tribune, the Huffington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic and on NPR, as well as in numerous literary and scholarly journals.

Leveen gives talks about history and literature at libraries, bookstores, universities, museums, teacher training programs and conferences throughout the United States and the world. She lives in a bright green house in Portland, with two cats, one Canadian and 120,000 honeybees.

On Sunday, Jan. 15, the library will welcome Kristin Collier, author of “Housewife: Home (Re)Making in a Transgender Marriage.” Collier is an educator and writer from Eugene whose work has appeared in The Sun magazine and as a frontispiece for Michael and Kathleen O’Neal Gear’s “People of the Sea.” She and

Oregon Legacy continues on Sunday, Jan. 22, with a visit from writer Alexis Smith, who was a guest of the series back in 2013 following the publication of her debut novel, “Glaciers,” which went on to become a finalist for the Ken Kesey Award for Fiction. Her second book, “Marrow Island,” was published last year.

Smith, who attended Mount Holyoke College, Portland State University and holds an MFA from Goddard College, lives with her wife and son in Portland.

The series will conclude on Sunday, Jan. 29, with a visit from Pauls Toutonghi, author of the novels “Red Weather” and “Evel Knievel Days,” a collection of short stories, “Live Cargo,” and last year’s non-fiction book “Dog Gone: A Lost Pet’s Extraordinary Journey

and the Family Who Brought Him Home.” Toutonghi was born in 1976 to an Egyptian father and a Latvian mother. His writing has appeared in Granta, The New York Times, Zoetrope: All-Story, The Boston Review, Five Chapters, One Story, Sports Illustrated, Book Magazine and numerous other periodicals.

He received a Pushcart Prize for his short story, “Regeneration,” which appeared in The Boston Review in 2000 when Toutonghi

was 23. After receiving his PhD in English Literature from Cornell University, he moved from Brooklyn to Portland, where he now teaches at Lewis & Clark College. He is the father of twins.

All presentations begin at 3 pm in the library, located on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex at 801 SW Hwy. 101.

NEWPORT GAVELS IN THE SECOND ANNUAL MAYORS’ SHOW

A pair of Oregon Coast mayors will turn their attention from public hearings to public viewing this Friday, Jan. 6, as the Newport Visual Arts Center hosts its second annual Mayors’ Show.

The exhibit features work by eight Lincoln County artists selected by Newport Mayor Sandra Roumagoux, Toledo Mayor Billie Jo Smith and Visual Arts Center Director Tom Webb. The trio selected the artists from among the 124 entrants featured in the 2016 PushPin Show, which was on display at the center throughout December.

The Mayors’ Show will open with a public reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, Jan. 6, with a talk from the artists at 6 pm.

“Choosing the work for the Mayors’ Show was a difficult task,” Roumagoux said. “Billie Jo, Tom and I struggled to narrow down our choices.

I want to compliment the artists who entered this year.

The PushPin Show is truly a community art show and is wonderful to see and enjoy.”

Webb said that rather than following a theme like last year, when the judges focused on painting, this year’s selections were based purely on what the trio found moving. The resulting

By Mark Erlander

By Kit Sugrue

selection includes acrylic and watercolor paintings, fiber arts, black and white photography, mixed media and sculpture.

Participants include Cheri Aldrich, a self-taught, multimedia artist whose work includes jewelry, basketry, clay work, felting and, most recently, mixed media, book arts and eco-printing on fabric and paper. Born and raised in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Aldrich moved to Newport in 1974.

Holly Byrnes studied art at the University of Oregon and Portland State University before receiving her bachelor’s in art from

the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. She has taught art at summer fine-arts camps, through Elderhostel and at the Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska.

Juergen Eckstein is a German-born artist who settled in Newport in 2000.

Self-taught, Eckstein works in oil-painting and ceramics.

He has been in solo exhibits at the Emerald Art Center in Springfield, the Newport

Visual Arts Center, the Briseno Gallery in Toledo, the Chessman Gallery at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Portland’s Talisman Gallery and Gallery 21 in Singapore.

Mark Erlander has been a resident of Lincoln County since 1972 and currently lives in Seal Rock. His creative focus is on ceramic sculpture and acrylic painting. Erlander received his bachelor’s in

arts education from Pacific Lutheran University and a master’s in sculpture from Central Washington State. He taught art in the public schools of Tacoma, Washington, and led the beginning sculpture course at Oregon Coast Community College for 19 years.

Bill Farley moved to Toledo from Seattle in 2005.

Focusing on black-andwhite photography, Farley

considers himself mostly self-taught, though he studied under King Wong, chief photographer for the Houston Chronicle.

Aspen Hamnlet is a student at Eddyville High School in Lincoln County.

She enjoys working in various mediums, including mixed media, illustration and painting.

Kit Sugrue is a coloredpencil artist who focuses on commissioned portraits of people and pets. Having graduated from university with a degree in fine art and art history, Sugure moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where she exhibited and sold work in various galleries and gift shops.

Now based on the Oregon Coast, she also designs cover art and script for books, and labels for locally made products.

Janet Webster is a fiber artist who started as a weaver but moved to quilting to work more directly with color and fabric. Born and raised in Portland, she has been living in Lincoln County since 1976 and worked for more than 25 years as the librarian at the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

The Mayors’ Show was established in January 2016 as a way to build connections between the Lincoln County creative community and local public officials and employees. The standing mayor of Newport and the director of the Visual Arts Center serve as exhibition curators, joined by one additional Lincoln County mayor, selected on a rotating basis.

The show, hosted by the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will be on display at the center’s Runyan Gallery through January 29, available to view 11 am to 7 pm Tuesday to Sunday.

The Newport Visual Arts Center is located at 777 NW Beach Drive.

EVIDENCE OF RESIDENCE Artists-in-residence unveil their works at Sitka Center Nestled on a secluded, wooded campus just north of Lincoln City, the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology is a place where ideas are born and creativity takes flight, free from the gravity of the workaday world.

And the latest batch of ideas will be on display this Saturday, Jan. 7, when the center’s current slate of artists-in-residence unveil their work at the Resident Show & Tell.

Among the artists displaying their work is Cynthia Lahti, a Portland native whose mixed media sculptures combine handbuilt ceramics with thrift shop treasures.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree at the Rhode Island School of Design in 1985, Lahti returned to Portland, where she continues to practice drawing, collage and sculpture. Her work is influenced by human artifacts from ancient times to the present, as well as personal experiences and emotions.

She was awarded the Hallie Ford Fellowship for artists in 2013 and the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship in 2015.

Joining Lahti in the show is Geetha Iyer, a writer whose life of international migration and love of science deepen and find homes in her fiction and poetry. Raised in the United Arab Emirates, Iyer received an MFA in Creative Writing & Environment from Iowa State University in 2014. Her writing includes fiction and poetry in journals such as Orion, Gulf Coast, Ninth Letter and the Mid-American Review. She presently lives in Panama.

Emerging visual artist Maddison Colvin will be displaying works from a catalog that ranges from the overlaying of space over time to swarms of snow buntings. Born in Nuremberg shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Colvin graduated in 2013 from Brigham Young University with an MFA in studio art. She has gone on to create multiple interlocking, interdisciplinary bodies of work while serving stints as an artist-inresidence, a middle school art teacher, an adjunct professor and a graphic designer. She currently lives in Eugene.

Rebecca Welti, a wood sculptor and lover of plankton, creates the kind of works that transform a microscope of twirling pond scum into excitement and wonder. Welti has carved most of her life, and recently moved to Port Townsend, Washington, to be near the sea and tides that so deeply influence her woodwork.

By Cynthia Lahti

Nina Elder is an artist, adventurer and arts administrator who grew up in the Rocky Mountains, where she cultivated a curiosity about gravel pits, mines and military sites.

Her drawings and paintings examine land use in the American West and illuminate how landscape is shaped by societal needs, economies, policies and powers. She has an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and is the co-founder of an off-the-grid artist residency program.

Analee Fuentes was raised in the Southwest as part of a family of artists ranging from painters to potters. Her Mexican-American heritage instilled in her an appreciation of bright colors and rich patterning that has remained strong since her move to Oregon in 1982.

“Even though Oregon is often a green/gray palette, the colors of our Northwest fish are

comparable to any Arizona sunset,” she said.

Marsha Slomowitz is a printmaker, painter, writer, book designer and illustrator whose current work juxtaposes disparate elements drawn from the natural world, sciences, ethnology and philosophy. After graduating from RISD, she worked for three years in the ethnographic collections of Harvard University’s Peabody Museum, and is a founder of Corvidae Press, a printmakers’ collective. She has traveled extensively, exhibited and taught in New England, New York and the Pacific Northwest, which she now calls home.

Eileen Olivieri Torpey works in film, installation, photography and drawing. She studied Anthropology and Sociology at Lewis and Clark College and Visual Arts at Mason Gross School of the Arts. Her art primarily originates from site-specific, immersive

experiences in landscapes across the US and beyond.

The final member of the group is unique in having not one, but two fish named after him.

Fish illustrator Ray Troll has lent his name to a New Zealand species of ratfish called Hydrolagus trolli and a prehistoric genus of Italian herring called Trollichthys. From his tree-lined studio, high on a hill above Ketchikan, Alaska, Troll draws and paints fishy images that migrate into museums, books and magazines and onto shirts sold around the world.

The Resident Show & Tell, which is free and open to all, will begin at 1 pm in the Boyden Studio of the Sitka Center, 56605 Sitka Drive, Otis. Light refreshments will be served.

FEELING TENTH? Find relaxation with these Top 10 winter adventures While summer is grand at the Oregon Coast, winter offers outdoor enthusiasts special adventures — with fewer crowds. And no, winter does not mean continual rain. Weather is often mild, thanks to changing ocean currents and micro-climates.

Here, courtesy of the folks at Visit Tillamook Coast, are the top 10 winter activities, gathered from certified coasties who have seen a winter or two.

neoprene-clad wave enthusiasts in the water from dawn to dusk, even during stormy weather. If the ocean looks too cold for you, then grab a beer at the Pelican Pub and watch braver souls through the big oceanfront windows.

8. Camping and glamping

1. Metal detecting and beachcombing after the storm Locals await eagerly the first seasonal storms, not only because they have a front-row view of Mother Nature, but also for the summer-like calm that follows, and the treasures that wash up on the beaches. Agates, yes. But grab a metal detector if you want to really strike gold.

2. Catching Dungeness crab While crabbing is always in season, winter brings the biggest bounty. Drop traps in Tillamook County’s five bays from a boat, or catch from a dock.

Take them home in a cooler or get one of the fish processing companies at a nearby dock to cook them for you.

3. Kayaking winter water channels The Tillamook Coast is year-round destination for paddle sports. Five estuaries are designated National Water Trails. But there are also channels accessible only in winter when tides are at their highest. Take a guided paddle with Kayak Tillamook and discover the beauty of winter waterways.

4. Hiking waterfall trails If you want to see waterfalls in all their gushing glory, winter is the time to do it. The Tillamook Coast

on the cover

Pheasant Creek Falls, near the town of Beaver

has several forest trails that lead to waterfalls. Wear waterproof shoes, not because the trails are particularly muddy or wet, but because the forest’s soft dewiness is in evidence everywhere.

5. Scuba diving in the bays Above water, the Tillamook coastline is beautiful. Under water, it’s a fascinating environment that the few who love to dive are lucky enough to see. Top spots are in Garibaldi, Oceanside and Tillamook Bay.

6. Fishing for winter steelhead Tillamook County’s five main rivers start filling with steelhead in December. From north to south, the Nehalem, Kilchis, Wilson, Trask and Nestucca rivers are all top steelhead producers. And after a big rain, steelhead go from a fish of a thousand casts to one catch after another.

7. Surfing bigger waves Cape Kiwanda attracts international surfers all year-round. You’ll find

Winter campers find peaceful pleasures on the Tillamook Coast.

Summer’s crowds have left, and those pitching trailers, RVs or setting up in yurts (and even a few tents) find themselves among kindred spirits.

The beaches are wide open, and you’ll have trails to yourself. Bring a book, a journal and a cozy blanket, and let the stars be your reality show. Nehalem Bay and Cape Lookout state parks are open year-round.

Enjoying the views (and brews) at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City

9. Take an eco adventure on land or water The Dairylands Tour from Tillamook Eco Adventures gives you a cow’s eye view of local dairy farms and treats you to the storytelling skills of guide Brian Cameron. And Garibaldi Charters, which is also a fishing charter boat, brings the bays and estuaries to life with a close-up peek of water habitats.

10. Checking off your bird and wildlife list Be warned: birdwatching is addictive, as is wildlife viewing. And winter brings a wealth of possibilities, from migratory birds that find the Tillamook Coast a perfect place to spend the season, to magnificent elk herds that navigate their way from forest to beach. Bring your binoculars and camera, and start at Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge. You won’t want to miss Kilchis Point Reserve’s new birdwatching station, either.

Creativity? There’s a map for that.

Kids aged seven to 13 are being invited to set out on an “Art Quest” by signing up for the latest round of Art Smart classes in Lincoln City.

Over the course of 14 classes, instructors Krista Eddy and Cindy Estes will help students explore different types of art and subject matter as they journey from land to land on a special “Art Quest” map.

“Our goal is to explore the adventure of creativity,” Eddy

said.

All materials are provided, and kids aged six can join in if accompanied by an adult.

These classes, which will take place at the Artists Studio Association, run from 1:30 to 3 pm every Saturday from January 14 though April 29, with the exception of March 18 and 25.

The Art Smart program is part-funded with a grant from the Lincoln County Cultural

Coalition. A one-time Art Smart membership fee of $10 gives access to all 14 classes.

Drop ins are welcome but there are only spots for 20 students.

To reserve a spot, contact Eddy at k.eddyalexander@ gmail.com or 541-992-4292.

The Artists’ Studio Association is located behind the Artists’ Coop Gallery at 620 NE Hwy. 101.

For more information, go to www.asaart.net.

A chance to bloom Registration is still open for the 2017 Master Gardener program run by the OSU Lincoln County Extension in Newport, offering participants the chance to learn about sustainable gardening in a coastal environment.

In addition to the extensive classroom and field training sessions, the program gives students the opportunity to give back to the community through volunteer work.

This past season the Lincoln County Master Gardeners donated more than 8,700 volunteer hours, making more than 4,300 contacts with members of the public from throughout the county.

The program has also donated some 1,224 pounds of fresh produce from its demonstration gardens — and even from member’s personal gardens — to local food pantries.

No experience or expertise is needed, just a willingness to learn and share.

16 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • january 6, 2017

The course begins on Tuesday, Jan. 10, with classes every Tuesday through March.

Registration deadline is Friday, Jan. 6 and tuition is $220. For more details call 541-5746534, or to register online, go to http://bit.ly/ LincolnMG. Outreach efforts have included teaching local elementary students about pollinators and other beneficial insects

She’s no pipsqueak

Elizabeth Black’s zest shines through in latest Lemon Ladies show

More bang for your buck A beloved-car movie contest would probably come down to a face-off between “Herbie the Lovebug” and “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” with Chitty coming out on top thanks to a last-minute rendition of “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

Anyone needing a refresher before committing to either candidate can find one this weekend, when the curtain goes up on “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Based on the beloved 1968 film version of Ian Fleming’s children’s book, the play opens with eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts restoring an old racecar from a scrap heap with the help of his children, Jeremy and Jemima. They soon discover the car has magical properties, including the ability to float and take flight.

When the evil Baron and Baroness Bomburst try to steal the magic car for themselves, the family joins forces with Truly

Scrumptious and batty Grandpa Potts to outwit the dastardly duo and their villainous henchman, the Child Catcher.

A unforgettable score by the Sherman Brothers includes the Academy Award nominated title song.

Presented by Coastal Act Productions, the show features an all-ages cast including Tim Gross as Caractacus Potts, Tristan Dimick as Jeremy, Zoey Zarkou as Jemima, Jason Wilson as Grandpa, Kendra Hanna as Truly Scrumptious and Kelly Miller and Erin Henninger as Baron and Baroness Bomburst.

The show runs from Friday, Jan. 6, through Saturday, Jan. 21, with performances at 7 pm every Friday and at 2 pm and 7 pm each Saturday at the Newport Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive Street.

Lincoln City theatre star Elizabeth Black will take to the stage this Saturday, Jan. 7, for the fifth (and possibly final) installment of her “Lemon Ladies” memoirs.

Five volumes might lead a person to believe that Black has been handed more than her fair share of lemons throughout her 81 years. Or perhaps she is just better at most at extracting the sweet comedy from memories of the all-too-familiar high hopes that turn sour.

“These are about my life,” she said. “I do an outline, but then I mostly just start telling tales on myself. I don’t like to hurt anyone else’s feelings, but I love being the butt of my own jokes.”

Black said Saturday’s mostly-one-woman show, “The Lemon Lady and Her Six Siblings,” might be the last time she takes to the stage to share tales from her Lemon Ladies repertoire.

The show will begin at 7 pm at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101.

Beer, wine, sodas, treats and other concessions will be sold inside.

Admission is by donation, with cash, credit and checks all accepted, alongside nonperishable foods for the Lincoln City Food Pantry or items for the 7th annual Winter Rummage Sale, which will take place on Jan. 13 and 14.

Clarissa Gillis, Elizabeth Black and the other Winter Rummage Sale volunteers will also be accepting items from 10 am to 4 pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan. 9, 10 and 11, and from 10 am to noon on Thursday, Jan. 12.

Limited pickup service is also available; call 541-994-9994 to arrange.

The sale will be open from 9 am to 3 pm Friday and Saturday, Jan. 13 and 14, offering books, curios, household appliances and decorations as well as clothes, coats, shoes and jewelry.

Guests will find general sale items in the auditorium, furniture and large items

in the hallway, and choice boutique treasures in the Elizabethan Room (named for Elizabeth Black).

Enrique’s Mexican Food will be providing lunch for sale on both days.

Volunteers are welcome at any point in the week.

For details, call the office at 541-994-9994 or email scheduler@lincolncityculturalcenter.org.

The seven tests take about 45 minutes to complete and are an easy way to measure upper and lower body strength, flexibility, agility and balance.

Designed by Roberta E. Rikli, PhD, and C. Jessie Jones, PhD, through California State University, Fullerton, the tests will help people create a personal baseline for their fitness level and give an idea of where they stand compared to national study data.

Data from the national study indicated that people who racked up the equivalent of a brisk, 30-minute walk three times a week scored much better on all test items
