Good Friday morning. It is our last “Weekend in the West” for 2019. Seems like this “New Year” just started and here comes another one. Shore Acres Holiday Lights continue through Dec. 31st. Add in the booming crashing waves and the southerly migration of the California Gray Whales and you have a nice afternoon early evening at Shore Acres for only $5 a car load.

Coos Bay Fire has set their Christmas Tree removal program. January 4th is their date, Jan. 11th for North Bend. State Marine Board has a whole set of new Boating laws and regulations coming up in 2020. Sizable drug bust on the Central Coast. Fatal in East Douglas Co. Christmas Day. Fatal on Hwy. 213. Police logs show warrant arrests, UEMV, family dispute Christmas Day lands one relative in Jail. Disorderly arrest and shoplifting arrest. Weather is showing clouds, highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s. Winds light and variable. In sports, prep schedules for the weekend. Both the Pirates and Bulldogs have basketball. Prep polls are out for basketball and wrestling. Marshfield basketball gets a split on the North Coast. Ducks and Beavers in action in basketball, and the Seattle Seahawks end the regular season Sunday night against the 49ers. Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for reading. Matt |
