How big is an orca? The 122 students at Lighthouse Charter School in Hauser found out from representatives of the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport.

The aquarium brought its whale program to the school to educate the students on the marine animals through an outreach program. Chris Schmitz, standing at the inflatable whale's nose, said the program travels around Oregon 15 weeks each year, bringing various marine programs to schools. Besides the program for kindergarten through fifth grades, there are activities for students in math and vocabulary as well as science. Helping out Schmitz during the program Wednesday were volunteers John Murphy and Diana Bunch. The inflatable orca they brought fills the front of the room.

What a lucky young man to have someone who cares enough about him to guide him in a way to build character.

I am sad to see the tower go..I used to take my children (Now grown) there to fish for the perch under the pilings. But I am even sadder to see the originally proposed boardwalk will no longer be a part of the development. I was looking forward to walking my Grandchildren down it.

Thank God there was no mention of supposed "global warming." It's nice to see unbiased, factual (not speculative) reporting.
