THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK

“I’m not a huge game fan. I’ll tune in for a few com-mercials. I can take

or leave the game. I’ll read a good book.”

Amy Koch, Warrenton

“There’s a family birthday party. I’m sure we’ll watch it

there.”

Carol Atwood, Astoria

“Probably kick back and eat a lot of food and watch a lot of football. I want to especially see the half-

time show with Lady Gaga. The commercials are good, too — more

entertaining, sometimes, than the game.”

Debby Wolf, Astoria

‘What are your plans for Super Bowl Sunday?’

I want to especially see the half- time show with Lady Gaga. The

commercials are good, too — more mercials. I can take

or leave the game.

DEATH

EO Media Group

LONG BEACH, Wash. — Organizers are rallying the public to be active in 2017 community beach cleanups, including the year’s first one this Saturday, which includes a soup feed.

“We would normally do a beach cleanup in January, but this year the tides in Jan-uary did not offer water lev-els low enough,” longtime cleanup chief Shelly Pollock said last week. As a result, this Saturday marks the first organized effort this year to

pick up the plastic garbage and other litter on the Long Beach Peninsula’s famous Pacific Ocean shoreline.

“There are no pre meet-ings, agendas to follow, or wrap-up meetings to attend and no reports to complete. Just come on out to any one of the seven major beach approaches on Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. and pick up supplies from our smiling volunteers,” Pollock said.

After the cleanup on Sat-urday, there will be a soup feed in Klipsan at the Pen-

insula Senior Activity Cen-ter from about noon until the pots run dry. “It’s a great place to see what’s been found and to share your findings with other fellow volunteers while enjoying homemade soups and good-ies,” Pollock said.

This is the 16th year of these community beach cleanups sponsored by the nonprofit GrassRoots Gar-bage Gang . Email Shelly@OurBeach.org for more information about Satur-day’s event and fundraising efforts.

Year’s fi rst beach cleanup is Saturday
