Today in History
Coffee joins the list of items rationed in the United States.
Despite record coffee production in Latin American
countries, the growing demand for the bean from both
military and civilian sources, and the demands placed on
shipping, which was needed for other purposes, required
the limiting of its availability.

Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten. 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

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.

5 YEARS AGO
Earlier this month, and for the
fi rst time in decades, McNary
High School swimmers hit the
water under the guidance of
a new head coach. 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

fi t well with the commission’s
desired goal of maintaining
an eye on the horizon.
“Thinking of them as

[rather than goals] provides

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.
