It’s four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, at the Snowfl ake Inn. Trina, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B, has more than she can handle coping with her eccentric, nuttier-than-a-fruitcake guests who include Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves, a troupe of pompous B-level actors, a feuding family and a wacky wedding party. This comedy is suitable for teenage and older audiences who can handle references to alcohol consumption and silly sexual innuendo. For showtimes and tickets visit pentacletheatre.org.

Touchdown at noon, Santa visits and free photos until 3 p.m. as transportation and other systems. “The intent is that there are three different paths Keizer coul2d choose: divorce, stay the same, or increase density while sending some growth outside of Keizer,” Brown said. Each will have different impacts on the city’s livability and core systems. • Monitor the effects of the addition of ADUs and new zoning directives from the Oregon Legislature that require multifamily dwelling be permitted in single-family residential areas. • Construct previously- identifi ed capital improvements that would bolster the transportation systems. Doing so would help “unlock areas to the KLL PARK, continued from Page A1 The idea of bringing in a third party to run tourna- ments seemed to come out of nowhere during the meeting, but the two groups advocating for the possibility – West Coast Premier (WCP) Tournaments and Cherry City Baseball – recently signed a deal to bring four larger tournaments to the fi elds in 2020. While the group generally agreed they were willing to go forward with an independent board to run the complex, one representative of McNary Youth Baseball, voiced several reservations. “I’m a little bit worried that we do keep shifting things,” said MYB’s Rob Tavares. “It’s our city that needs to be the one that steps up as far as the recreational department. An organization that’s going to be based on a team of volunteers that was going to be sustain- able throughout the years al- ways seemed naive at best.” He added that there might be fewer chances for young- er players to fi nd a path for development, alluding to a potentially steep increase in competitiveness from week- nights to weekends.

Casey Lewin, a graduate of Sprague High School and swimming coach at Courthouse Fitness in South Salem, has been tapped to take the reins from longtime Celtic skipper Kim Phillips. 10 YEARS AGO Make your voice heard! Best of Keizer competition aims not just to reward, but to inform north of the city if the city goes forward with UGB expansion,” Brown said. “We already have transportation needs just to accommodate our existing growth.” • Implement plans that reinforce the sense of community in Keizer. Commissioner Mark Callier said the benchmarks fi t well with the commission’s desired goal of maintaining an eye on the horizon. “Thinking of them as milestones or benchmarks [rather than goals] provides context,” Caillier said. “This will come from a lot of directions at different times.” Commissioner Frank Hostler said making sure that Keizer has a “sense of place” resonated deeply with him. “I’m a big fan of having that sense of place because it creates a sense of community,” Hostler said. tion during the meeting was keeping Keizer kids playing in Keizer. Shane Diarmit, represent- ing Keizer Little League, was the most vocal. “To have multiple people with their hands in the cook- ie jar all fi ghting for the same cookie, I don’t know how we solve that at the table just be- cause we have a management group,” Diarmit said. The proposal coming out of the group is to allot a cer- tain amount of discounted playing times to each group that chooses to be a “partici- pating organization” through volunteerism. Volunteerism in almost any form would count, but slots would be allocated based on the number of hours committed. It would then be up to the leagues in cooperation with the park’s governing board to decide who gets what slots and settle disputes over the most desired spaces. “It’s honestly not as simple as giving out 50 slots,” added Bo Lane, of MYB. If a third party, for-profi t does get involved, there also might be other changes to the facilities to help ensure enough operating income. Todd Walling, WCP softball coordinator, said the fi elds toward the back of the park could be converted for mul- tiple uses including football, lacrosse and soccer. “If you look at any of the new complexes, they are all multipurpose. You have to have more multiuse [fi elds] and that’s what’s going to change this complex – not re- ally focusing on [youth base- ball],” Walling said. Other proposals coming out of the task force include: • Establishing a website for: scheduling inquiries; sched- ules, weather-related informa- tion; promotional opportuni- ties for sponsors; and complex rules and regulations. • Splitting concession stand revenues between participat- ing groups after meeting an- nual goals. • Establishing the conces- sion stand and equipment as property of the city. • Setting forth capital proj- ect goals such as making the park ADA-compliant; resur- facing the parking lots; adding scoreboards and maintaining or replacing portion of the drainage system, backstops and fi eld-grooming equipment. obituaries Submit an obituary through our website at keizertimes.com/contact or send an email to: editor@keizertimes.com Nelson ‘Mac’ McLoud March 16, 1922 – November 14, 2019 After seeing destruction Man of faith, commitment to country and love of family during war, he experienced a were the three guiding lights different pain while suffering severe burns in in the life of Nelson 1972.
