Michael McDonald to Perform
From his hit-making days with the Doobie Brothers (“What A Fool Believes,” “Minute
By Minute,” “Takin’ It To The Streets”) to his acclaimed solo recordings (“On My Own,”
“Sweet Freedom,” “I Keep Forgetting") and his guest performances on recordings with
Quincy Jones (USA for Africa), Steely Dan, Patti LaBelle, Kenny Loggins, Ambrosia,
James Ingram, Christopher Cross, and countless others, McDonald’s distinctive voice is
readily identifiable.
The five-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter and keyboardist turns the
tunes with earthy vocalizations and a touch of the blues, creating a one-of-a-kind, not-to-
be-forgotten sound.
Concert times are 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 and 7 and 10 p.m. on Nov. 4. Ticket prices range
from $35 to $45, depending on seat location.
Corridor Safety Committee Receives
First Contribution
The Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce was the first to step forward and make a
cash donation to a project designed to keep winter drivers of Highway 18 and 22 informed
of road conditions.
exciting to see our community at-large get behind a project that has been too
long in the coming,” said Jim Lorson, chair of the Highway 18 & 22 Safety Committee.
Lorson also is the interim assistant general manager of Chinook Winds Casino.
The Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce voted to give the committee $500 according
to Peggy Leoni, a member of the committee’s steering board and a member of the Depoe
Bay Chamber of Commerce.
“We have been asked what $500 will do towards a fund that needs to buy a vehicle,
provide for staff, gasoline, tires, and other eminence,” said Lorson. “What it does is get us
started. We needed to begin and the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce gave us a
starting point,” added the steering committee chair.
Recently, the committee held a press conference to explain to the news media how
critical the safety project is. It also explained how different the Van Duzer Corridor conditions
could be versus other routes to the coast. Highway 18 is lower in elevation and is therefore
less vulnerable to icy conditions.
“We want people to come to the coast this winter safely, have a great time at our
beaches, shops, restaurants, hotels and other attractions, and then return safely to their
homes and begin making plans for their next visit,” said Leoni. “Depoe Bay wanted to be
the first to step in and lend support,” Leoni concluded.
The committee has received word from the American Automobile Association (AAA)
that it will accept the committee’s weather and road observations as will the Oregon
Department of Transportation. “We have to be honest, if the conditions merit watching,
we won’t candy-coat it. The same holds true for better conditions than what are being
reported,” concluded Lorson.
