‘Words that Matter’

Hear the vibrant language of Winston Churchill’s speeches in a matinee of spoken-word performance Dec. 6

T

The recently restored auditorium of the North N C County Recreation District in Nehalem iis perfe perfectly suited to invite the audience’s iimagination back to radio days. Settle into imagina one of the auditorium’s spartan vintage folding sea seats with its carved hardwood armrest, and sho shortly it’s 1940. Hitler and the Nazis have overrun a defeated European continent.

Among nations at war against the Third Reich, Britain alone has not surrendered. Winston Churchill is addressing the English-speaking people.

David Speer has edited and arranged “Words that Matter,�

15 selections from Churchill’s writing spanning his early years to the United States’ entry into World War II. Eight accomplished readers will bring Churchill’s words to life again at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6. “People know the sound bites — ‘We shall never surrender’ — but his speeches contain sentence after sentence, paragraph after paragraph of vibrant, beautiful language,� says Speer. “He thought in heroic terms.�

Speer and producer Peter Nunn have arranged the stage so that Churchill’s words matter. To the left, narrator Dave Bell knits Churchill’s speeches together with a bit of history.

In the center, a screen shows a colorful Union Jack, patriotic posters and grainy black-andwhite photos of London bombed, of Churchill touring ruins. To the right, the spotlight falls on consecutive readers, articulate, dressed formally in tuxedos or evening dresses; attire that, in the spare auditorium, reinforces Churchill’s appeal to dignity. No one affects an unnatural accent. Churchill’s speeches reach us in accents American and English,

His father was the second son of the Duke of Marlborough. As such, he had a title but no money. On the other hand, he had expensive tastes so, to support himself and his lavish tastes, he wrote.

He wrote his entire life.�

Speer’s knowledge of Churchill’s life is extensive. “He started out as a correspondent in Cuba when Teddy Roosevelt was there, sending dispatches back from the Spanish-American War. He fought on four continents while he was in the military, and even then, and some people were not happy with this, he always managed to earn a nice income from his writing. He wrote all his life.�

A modern listener is struck by the single-mindedness, the self-assurance, the righteous conviction of Churchill’s words. “The times required it,� says Speer.

A listener is perhaps also surprised by his generous eulogy for Neville Chamberlain, Churchill’s antithetical rival who had made desperate, futile concessions to Hitler that Churchill abhorred: It fell to Neville Chamberlain in one of the supreme crises of the world to be contradicted by events, to be disappointed in his hopes, and to be deceived and cheated by a wicked man. But what were these hopes in which he was disappointed? What

rehearsal. The audience at the dress rehearsal is composed of adult care center residents from around the area that the theater has made a tradition of inviting. Before the rehearsal begins, ballerinas in their tutus go into the audience, personally greeting and presenting Nutcracker programs. If that act in itself doesn’t create some Christmas spirit, well: This year’s major role, Clara, is performed by 12-year-old Aiko Miller, a seventh grader at Hilda Lathi Elementary School in Knappa. The Nutcracker/Prince is Christopher Cruz, a senior at Knappa High School, where he wrestles and plays football.

Eleven-year-old Rocky Rue, a student a Lewis and Clark Elementary in Astoria who plays Clara’s little brother, Fritz, is a perfect selection for a pesky little tease.

The ballet has a long tradition of featuring guest artists. In 1 64, Richard *ibbs and 9ictoria Pulkkinen from the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Co. danced with the Little Ballet Theatre. “*ibbs at the time was attending Harvard Medical School,” Peterson recalls. “He is currently company physician for the San Francisco Ballet. Pulkkinen is now on faculty at Dance Spectrum, a prominent dance school and company in Seattle.”

This year, guest dancers Elizabeth Barret and Andrew Taft, from Ballet Idaho, will make their third appearance

‘We’re really excited about this anniversary, and we hope the audience will be, too. The dancers and the musicians can feel the audience’s energy.’

Some younger cast members wait their turn to perform on stage.

Members of “The Nutcracker” cast include, from left, Don Thompson, Rhondell Cloe, Jim Jacobs, Jason Hippert, Kim Postlewaite, Sumuer Watkins and Drew Herzig.

‘The Nutcracker’ in the Little Ballet Theatre’s “Nutcracker.”

“A lot of our past dancers return each year to see our current µNutcracker’ production, especially former Claras,” says Peterson. “This year in particular we’ve heard from many former dancers who will be with us as we celebrate. We have 40 years of different Clara dresses that we plan to display in the high school lobby during our performances.”

Long before each year’s production hits the stage, instructors and more than 75 Little Ballet Theatre dancers, both ¿rst-timers and long-timers, begin auditioning for the numerous roles. Many try. All make it. “We never turn anyone down,” Peterson says. The dancers may not get the part they audition for, but we ¿nd something for them.”

Dan Sutherland has appeared for more than 20 years as Dr. Drosselmeyer, Clara’s godfather and the keeper of the nutcracker before giving it to Clara. He came into the production as a backstage volunteer when his daughter was dancing. “The energy around here was and is so good. It’s a great family,” says Sutherland.

It works both ways. From youngest 7-year-old performers to, well, whatever their age, the dancers and those behind the scenes are enjoying their roles as they see “The Nutcracker” come to life for another year.

Forty years ago, Jeanne Maddox Petersen set about bringing her vision of the traditional ballet to Astoria. It continues to be all things merry and bright.

Holiday cocktails to help you pour some cheer

By ALISON LADMAN Associated Press Whether you’re having a quiet night in with family or a larger gathering with friends, holiday celebrations often call for a cocktail — sometimes simply

to help you deal with those friends and family! So we’ve got you covered with a trio of easy but delicious cocktails that won’t tax your time or budget.

If there’s a chill in the air, consider starting with the roasted cider, a seasonal hot toddy that combines a classic mulled cider with the toasty flavor of hazelnuts.

Ginger Fashioned The ruby spice bubbles offers a fresh way to enjoy sparkling wine.

Ruby Spice Bubbles Start to finish: 1 hour (10 minutes active) Servings: 4 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Pinch ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground dry ginger 3 tablespoons water 4 ounces unsweetened cranberry juice, chilled 750-milliliter bottle sparkling

white wine, chilled Brandied or candied cherries Directions In a microwave-safe bowl or glass, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and water. Stir well, then microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Set aside to cool completely.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled spice syrup with the cranberry juice. Shake to combine, then divide between 4 cocktail flutes or coupe glasses. Top each with sparkling wine and add 1 cherry to each.

Start to finish: 5 minutes Servings: 1 1-inch slice fresh ginger 1 sugar cube 2-inch strip orange peel 2 dashes maple bitters 2 ounces bourbon Ice Directions In an old fashioned glass, muddle the ginger, sugar, orange peel and bitters until the sugar is dissolved. Add the bourbon and stir. Add an ice cube and serve.

For a fresh take on tradition, try the ginger fashion, a zippy rendition of the reliable old fashioned.

Start to finish: 10 minutes Servings: 1 6 ounces cider 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey 1 ounce hazelnut liqueur (such as Frangelico) Freshly grated nutmeg Cinnamon stick, to garnish Directions In a small saucepan over medium heat or in a mug in the microwave, heat the cider until just steaming.

NEHALEM and MANZANITA — In small communities, rivalries and fears about dividing resources often keep organizations from working together.

However, for the last three years there has been an exception to that dynamic in the Nehalem Bay area. Three organizations have banded together to coordinate and publicize their holiday gift fairs: the Nehalem Bay Methodist Church, the White Clover Grange near Mohler and the Alternative Gift Fair in Manzanita.

In 2011, discovering that three events were scheduled in the same time frame, organizers agreed to hold each competing event on the same day at the same time and to split up the often tedious and time-consuming task of publicizing the events. Splitting up the work has allowed the organizers to focus more on each event and have fun and success.

This year, the three holiday bazaars will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6.

Out-of-area holiday shoppers can make a day of it in the Nehalem Bay area and plan their route using these details about the holiday bazaars: Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church will host its 43rd annual Christmas Bazaar & Clam Chowder Luncheon. Located at 36050 10th St. in Nehalem, this long-run-

Author holds book signings Keep calm and eat your lutefisk

Anita Schacher shares nursing home stories Finnish auxiliary hosts second annual community event ASTORIA and LONG BEACH, Wash. — Local author Anita Schacher will be signing her book “You Forgot to Shut the Gate� at Lindstrom’s Danish Maid Bakery from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 6, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13 at Long Beach Coffee Roasters. “You Forgot to Shut the Gate,� has been well received and is now in its second printing.

The title came from an experience Schacher had as a young nursing assistant struggling to put a patient, who had dementia, to bed. He was combative and refused to cooperate. Finally, the patient said he couldn’t go to bed until “the pigs were in.� With much contrived drama, the pigs were put in for the night, and as Schacher left the room the patient stopped her. “Hey,� he said, “you forgot to shut the gate.�

The book is comprised of entertaining and inspiring stories and lessons garnered from Schacher’s many years working in the nursing home environment. The book includes stories of local personalities featuring Elsie Silver, Russell Fluher, Helen Morgan, Nora Lambertson and more.

One reader commented, “I laughed, I cried, I got angry and I learned lots about the nursing home.�

Another shared, “I couldn’t ZDLW WR ÂżQLVK RQH VWRU\ VR WKDW , could begin another.â€?

“‘Now the Tah-mah-na-wis of this old man was Moos-moos, the elk, and one day as he hunted on the side of the white one, Takomah, the old man got very tired and sat down to rest, and

as he sat there without any thoughts but rest, he heard the voice of his Tahmah-na-wis, Moos-moos, the elk, and it whispered magic in his ear.’”

“Naked in the Woods: Joseph Knowles and the Legacy of Frontier Fakery” by Jim Motavalli Da Capo Press, 2007 Plot Notes: In August 1913, woodsman and Navy veteran Joseph Knowles, at the age of 43, climbed into the Maine woods wearing only an athletic strap to live off his own devices for two months. This primitive spectacle, sponsored by The Boston Post, captivated the public’s imagination at a time when modernity and technological advancement were changing the national

character and uprooting tradition.

Unfortunately, the caveman routine turned out to be a hoax. Nature Man, as Knowles came to be known, stumbled upon a plethora of careers, which took him to California under invitation of William Randolph Hurst, through vaudeville before he eventually settled in a crowded driftwood cottage in Seaview, Washington, where he lived with his wife and two other women on the Long Beach Peninsula. Knowles, also an accomplished painter, won the commission to paint 12 Venetian scenes on canvas for the newly rebuilt Liberty Theater in downtown Astoria in 1925.

Take Away: Journalist Jim Motavalli presents Joseph Knowles’ larger-than-life yarn with an evenhandedness that Knowles himself would have been incapable of.

Knowles was a consummate liar, a fabulist and a huckster who spent his windfalls quickly, was terrible at repaying his debts, and endured long stretches of poverty because of it. In another sense, Knowles was also the real deal: a hunting guide and avid outdoorsman, friend of the Sioux, both champion and false prophet of the back-to-nature movement popular at the time. Motavalli expertly captures Knowles’ dichotomy and penchant for reinvention while never missing the humor inherent in these situations. If Joseph Knowles was pulling his stunts today, he would have a hit reality TV show.

Recommended For: Tall tale enthusiasts and 20th century history buffs.

Bonus: If you would like to hear it from the horse’s mouth, Joseph Knowles also wrote and illustrated a “true” autobiographical account of his first foray into the woods in 1913, titled, “Alone in the Wilderness.” While not completely fact, nor probably entirely fiction, the book is illustrated with drawings Knowles made with burnt sticks onto birch bark while he lived in the forest and covers such adventurous anecdotes as trapping a bear or killing a deer with your bare hands. Also, some of Knowles’ paintings and memorabilia are enshrined at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washington.

“The Left Hand of Darkness” by Ursula K. Le Guin Ace Books, 1969 A masterpiece: Last month, legendary Portland author and part-time Cannon Beach resident Ursula K. Le Guin received a standing ovation after giving a no-nonsense acceptance speech when she received the 2014 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters at the National Book Awards. Maybe it is time to revisit her seminal, literally gender-bending sci-fi masterpiece, which took home both the Hugo and Nebula awards the year it was published.

“How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” By Dr. Seuss Random House, 1957 Get in the spirit: Who-ville, roast beast, a heart two sizes too small. It’s a classic for a reason. Try reading it out loud in your best Boris Karloff voice.
