Horse races pitting one horse against all the others in the field, with the winner crossing the finish line first. Barrel racing, rodeos and related events are won or lost based on the stop watch. The fastest error-free time wins. These are all “timed events.” Horse competition not based on time or head-to-head match up would include things like dressage or jumping.
Northwest Gardener by Nancy Chennault • The challenge in growing clematis is not in the cultivation, but the selection. You will find that your singleton clematis can quite innocently become a collection. And when your enthusiasm becomes an obsession you will be continuously looking skyward for yet another structure on which to grow them.
By Lynn Taylor • The Southwest Washington Symphony opened their spring concert Friday night with the Academic Festival Overture by Johannes Brahms. Like many of the opening pieces chosen by conductor and musical director Ryan Heller, it is a shorter work that packs a lot of punch. . .
Acclaimed as one of the Indian Diaspora’s leading dance ensembles, Ragamala seamlessly carries Bharatanatyam (South India’s classical dance form) into the 21st century. Born and raised in South India, artistic directors Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy—mother and daughter—were surrounded by ritualistic art forms imbibed with philosophy, spirituality, mysticism, and myth. They are protégés of the legendary dancer and choreographer Alarmel Valli, known as one of India’s greatest living masters. Now living in the United States, Ranee and Aparna strive to create work that re-frames the cultural specificity of Bharatanatyam, bringing its eloquence to universal themes in order to move beyond the personal and spark a global conversation.
By Suzanne Martinson • When you have fresh ingredients from close to home, a custard pie is golden as the sun, smooth as cream, delicious as a first kiss.
By Rick Pope • A couple of months ago our neighbors of many years separated and the wife moved out of the house. Recently the husband began receiving a frequent visitor. She apparently wants to keep her visits discreet, because she never parks in my neighbor’s open driveway, or in front of his house. Instead, she parks around the corner and down the street — right in front of my house. This has become a regular occurrence. For some reason I find it annoying. Should I say something?
By Chere Weiss • Besides the wondrous natural beauty, we enjoyed driving around the island, discovering a lovingly restored church (shared by the Lutherans and the Catholics of the island with a pioneer cemetery across the road), fresh eggs for sale along the winding roads on the honor system (drop your money in the Mason jar, take away your eggs), and an incredible dinner at the Galley Restaurant, featuring locally-grown and harvested bounties of the sea and Earth. The island has an inland village with shops, two banks, a grocery store and the Lopez Island Community Performing Arts Center.
By Mike Clark • The high bridge toll forced some who lived in Rainier to find cheaper ways to get to work in Longview. A new breed of entrepreneurs saw an opportunity by modifying their trucks to carry passengers. One added bench seats and a canopy to his truck bed. He carried eight passengers in back and two up front. Another option was to cross the river on one of the small passenger ferries. Jeff Barton operated one that ran from Dibblee’s Point to Weyerhauser. The other was the “Elsinore” that made separate trips between Rainier and the Longview Fibre Mill, the Long Bell Mill, and to the Wasser Brothers Shingle Mill upstream of Rainier.
By Alan Rose • The book is not only set in the Victorian age, but resembles a Victorian novel, the story sprawling with a multitude of characters and plots and subplots and coincidences worthy of Dickens—characters accidentally bump into each other just at the right moment, London being such a small city after all. Actually, time travel is less implausible than a number of the plot’s twists and turns.
Stageworks has been part of the local theatre community since the early 1990s. James Murphy, then executive director for Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts, began producing plays in the 90-seat Pepper Studio Theatre, subsequently leading to the establishment of an independent theatre company in 2000. It presented four plays a year until the Pepper Theatre was demolished in 2008 as part of the Columbia Theatre renovation. The conversion of the Longview Theatre will create the small, intimate venue that is such an important part of the theatrical experience.
