Good Wednesday morning. Rain. Yes, today, tonight and tomorrow. Highs and lows nearly the same and winds out of the South at 10-20 mph, Southwest tonight, and South to Southwest on Thursday. Sounds like the month of December. Don’t forget Shore Acres with an umbrella. In our news today, the Elliott State Forest leads off and lots of talk about making it into a research forest. The Association of O&C counties, which Coos County is a member, is seeking restoration of a monument. City of Coos Bay has a Budget Committee opening. This is the final week to signup for Health Insurance. Cookie exchange at SWOCC in Brookings today. That might be worth the drive! I don’t think there is a WBC Forum today, never received a notice of a speaker, so guessing they are backing off for the holidays. The local Booster Clubs will still meet today at their respective locations. Forest Trust Lands Advisory Committee meets in Salem today. New Forestry Dean at OSU. Douglas County Parks offering a special rate with a discount for the holidays. Drop-In Computer Lab at CBPL today. Loeb State Park at Brookings now accepting reservations for next Summer. Yes, sounds early, but it is a very popular State Park in the Summer. That missing JC girl, found safe in Idaho. Wildlife abuse arrest in Eastern Oregon. 18-year old male, should know better. Fatal on Hwy. 62. In sports, prep schedules for both the Pirates and Bulldogs. Prep basketball last night, Bulldog girls fall at Brookings-Harbor. Prep boy’s basketball polls are out for this week. Kind of skimpy of South Coast teams this year. Oregon’s QB picks up a big honor in New York City. Stay dry, have fun shopping, or watching. Thank you for reading. Matt
