Audition for ‘The Great Gatsby’ in Tillamook TILLAMOOK — Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts announces open auditions for the popular play “The Great Gatsby,” written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, adapted for the stage by Simon Levy, and directed by Steele Fleisher. Fitzgerald’s classic story is a trip back to prohibition America, the roaring 1920s and the shallowness of the nouveau-rich. The stage version faithfully follows the well-known novel, about the young and mysterious mil-

lionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful, rich former debutante Daisy Buchanan. Her cousin, Nick, is drawn into the captivating world of the wealthy, bears witness to their deceits, and pens the audience a tale of impossible love, dreams and tragedy. TAPA is looking for up to nine men and four women, ranging in age from mid-20s to mid-40s. No previous experience is necessary. Auditions will be held at

Tillamook United Methodist Church, located at 3808 12th St., at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 30 and 31. Performances will run May 6 to 21.

Eleventh Street Barber, which was voted Best Barbershop, specializes in men’s haircuts, shaves and beard maintenance, offering customers age 21 and over beer.

it is fair to say that Bardy has accomplished her goal. But it is not just the laidback atmosphere that keeps the waiting line deep. Bardy and her crew employ plenty of old school technique, including hot lather and straight razor shaves. They offer discounts to active duty and veteran military. Bardy also takes the extra time to only source hair products made in the U.S. and has even begun conjuring up her own beard oil for sale under the brand name Gold Rush. Bardy recently discovered an old notebook from her salon days where she had jotted down some ideas about creating her own barbershop after beginning to cultivate a largely male clientele at the time. “I had totally forgotten about it,â€? she said. But after looking at what was on the page, Bardy realized, “I had pretty much done all of those things.â€? While Bardy attributes much of her success to location and the neighboring businesses that have increased foot WUDIÂżF DORQJ WK 6WUHHW VKH is not content to rest on her laurels.

Readers’ Choice Awards BEST GROCERY STORE

BEST BAKERY

Astoria Co-op Grocery

Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe

Astoria, Oregon Runner-up: Fred Meyer, Warrenton Honorable Mention: Mainstreet Market, Warrenton

By NANCY McCARTHY For 41 years, the community has called the Astoria Co-op Grocery its own, and winning the Readers’ Choice Award for Best Grocery Store only con¿rms locals’ affection for it, said Zetty Nemlowill, co-op marketing director. More than 3,500 owners have purchased shares for $200, which can be paid in $25 annual increments. But anyone, whether they are owners or not, can shop at the co-op. “People really like great food, and we try to provide high-quality, fresh, natural food,” Nemlowill said. About 100 local vendors supply the store with produce, meat, bread, pies and other goodies. “We try to work with as many producers and farmers as possible,” Nemlowill said. “We pick up our ¿sh from Born-

stein’s (Seafood), and we do a lot of farm-direct purchases, so there is no middle man.” A grab and go deli offers from-scratch soups made with organic ingredients, sandwiches, wraps and salads. The store is also involved in the community and hosts monthly Beers to Your Health lectures in partnership with Fort George Brewery. In addition, the co-op works with local charities through its “Beans for Bags” project. Every time a shopper brings a reusable bag, the co-op takes the nickel it would have spent on a bag and gives it to a local charity. A bean — representing the nickel — is given to the shopper, who can put it in one of three jars designated for the charities. For the ¿rst quarter of 201 , those charities are The Harbor, NAMI (National Alliance for Mental

Health) and the Lunch Buddy Mentoring Program. With some private grocers increasingly focusing on organic foods, the co-op is facing more competition than ever. That’s why this year, the store is improving its pricing. As a member of the National Co-op Grocers, the Astoria Co-op has more buying power and can often beat the prices in larger stores, Nemlowill said. All pro¿ts stay in local hands, she noted. “They come back to the community.” Among the top projects in

a ¿ve-year strategic plan recently adopted by the co-op’s board of directors is the store’s expansion. The board is still seeking a location, but the coop has already raised $30,000 toward the project — $20,000 more than its original goal, and more fundraising efforts are in the works. “That level of support shows how eager the community is to have the co-op around,” Nemlowill said. Astoria Co-op Grocery is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at 1355 Exchange St.

The Beach

Runner-up: Astoria Column, Astoria Honorable Mention: Coffenbury Lake,Warrenton

By DWIGHT CASWELL Beach was dressed entirely in her signature white and leaned expansively against a cliff. “This is so much better than last year,” she said, dipping her toes in the waves. It had been a year since I last interviewed Beach, and

indeed she seemed even more cheerful than on that occasion. “Better in what way?” I asked. “Well, last year readers named me ‘best cheap date.’ I’m sure they meant it as a compliment, but really, who wants to be known as a cheap date?

hard sand by the water, “and I just love it when everybody gets together and we play games.” Beach said she wants people to know they should (“although I hate that word, ‘should’”) stay as long as possible. “My sunsets are probably my best feature, even though Sky and Clouds do most of the work.” So next time you visit Beach, bring a hamper of food, build a driftwood fort, and wait for sunset. “There’s nothing more fun,” Beach told me, “than sitting around a bon¿re at night with some of my friends.”

Voters picked Astoria restaurant Baked Alaska as offering the Best Happy Hour and Best Catering in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards.

For the second year in a row, Baked Alaska has triumphantly won the Readers’ Choice Award for Best Catering. Three or four times a week, a Baked Alaska catering van delivers happy culinary experiences to baby showers, graduation parties, weddings, anniversaries, memorial services, Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce After Hours events and Liberty Theater events. The Astoria restaurant is guided E\ D ÂłFXVWRPHU ÂżUVW´ FDWHULQJ philosophy inspired by the WHUULÂżF VHUYLFH RZQHUV &KULV and Jennifer Holen received

Entering its 34th year in 2016, the three-day Astoria-Warrenton Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival allows you to indulge your love of seafood and try many varietals from Northwest wineries at the same time. Put on by the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, the festival includes live music on two stages and about 200 vendor booths with more than 60 regional wineries and 100 arts and crafts sellers. While you sip wine and peruse vendors’ wares, enjoy WKH DXWKHQWLF ÀDYRUV RI WKH Oregon Coast with seafood festival favorites like the Astoria Rotary Club’s Dungeness crab dinners and the Astoria Clown’s famous Clown Bread (freshly baked French bread smothered in the clown’s super secret sauce, then topped with your choice of either crab or shrimp, and broiled to perfection). This year’s festival is set for April 22, 23 and 24.

A $3-per-person roundtrip shuttle ride will take you to and from the event at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds (limited car parking is available and costs $15 per vehicle). More than 150 volunteers help run everything from bus unloading and trash duty to the admissions table and wine check, where you can drop off bottles of wine you purchase to pick up before you leave, instead of lugging them around all day. A range of local organizations volunteer to help run the event and fundraise at the same time; most of the dollars spent during the festival get funneled directly back into the local community. About 14,000 to 16,000 people attend the Crab & Wine Fest each year, so it’s no surSULVH WR ¿QG WKH IHVWLYDO RQFH again earning the Readers’ Choice Award for Best Local Festival (it owned the title for three years from 2010 to 2013).

“We’re more than a lumber yard”

City Lumber Founded 1904

Y ou rProjectHead qu arters Founded in 1904,

the oldest lumber yard in Oregon City Lumber began in 1904 as City Lumber and Box Company by Astoria Box Co., Clatsop Mill Co. and Tongue Point Lumber Co. as a way of selling and distributing lumber and boxes to Astoria’s fishing industry. Later, the company was called City Lumber and Coal, and until 1956, City Lumber and Supply. Since 1956, we’ve been incorporated as City Lumber Company.

Thank you for your continued support and voting us “Best of.”
