On The Sidelines

Newport fighter to compete for title

Newport's Daniel Stewart is set to compete for the Full Contact Fighting Federation Heavyweight Championship Saturday, Jan. 26, against Daniel Krug at Rumble at the Roseland XXXIII in Portland.

Crab feed planned in Newport

The Newport High School softball team will sponsor a crab feed in the high school's multipurpose room from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1.

The menu will include one-half crab, donated by local crabbers and processors, a cup of Mo's famous clam chowder, coleslaw, Franz French Bread, dessert and coffee or a choice of Pepsi products.

The cost of the meal will be $7 per person or $22 for a family (immediate family).

Tickets may be purchased from any Newport High softball player, or at the door.

The crab feed is being held in conjunction with the Newport vs. Philomath girls' basketball games. This allows basketball fans to have dinner and then take in an evening of high school basketball.

For further information, contact Newport High School softball coach Mark Schiewe at 265-7382.

Swim team to hold can/bottle drive

The Newport High School swim team is holding a can and bottle drive from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 27. Drop off bottles and cans at a collection site at the entrance to Newport High School's west campus. The money raised will help pay expenses for the district swimming championships in Astoria on Feb. 8 and 9.

This clinic is for children in grades kindergarten through 8th grade. Check-in time is 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. The cost is $15 per participant.

Cheerleaders will teach chants, jumps, and a short dance. Participants will receive a free ticket to the Taft High School varsity basketball game, where they will have the opportunity to perform at half time at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 5.

Pre-registration is not required. For further information, call Tonia Roberts at Taft High, 996-2115.

Fly fishers set meeting

The Central Coast Fly Fishers normally meet on the second Thursday of each month, however, to avoid conflicting with Valentine's Day, the group's February meeting has been moved to 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, upstairs at the Bayshore Club House in Waldport.

The group will watch fly tying, hold a short business meeting, swap fish stories (the good, the bad and the ugly), share fly fishing ideas, and set up for fly tying for the beginner. All those who have never tied a fly but would like to give it a try are invited to come and participate.

For additional information, contact President Alan Canfield, 563-6976.
