This is Christine’s second performance with Riverbend Players.

She finds joy in her fitness dance classes while beach walks with her family, and their two furry companions are a favorite.

She loves combining these strolls with collecting trash and leaving the coastline a little brighter.

Christine’s passion for her community shines through at her job at 1st Security Bank in Manzanita.

The next Nehalem Bay Garden Club meeting on February 27th at 1:30 features a local favorite speaker.

Ketzel Levine will present “Strategies for Thirsty Plants: Some Just Gotta Go” After six years as director of the Hoffman’s Wonder Garden, Ketzel is ready to trade in quite a few beloved but thirsty plants for those that have particular super powers: a tolerance for winter wet and summer dry. Her presentation will offer us a look at what’s in and what’s out this coming year in the Wonder Garden.

All are welcome. The meeting is held at the Calvary Bible Church across from the library in Manzanita.

Light refreshments served.

Anyone wishing to become a member can do so by paying the annual $10 dues. It is not necessary to be a member to participate in Garden Club meetings and activities.

If you’d like to support this bill, you can still submit written testimony in support of the recreational immunity amendment before 1 pm on Wednesday, 2/14.

The Senate Judiciary Committee has a work session scheduled on SB 1576 on Wednesday at 1 pm. They will not be hearing further testimony during the work session.

CRIMES OF THE HEART OPENS MARCH 1st
Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org

MEET THE CAST: Marisa Hackman

From classroom compassion to stage lights, Marisa’s a bright star on the rise.

This theater enthusiast (since childhood) channels her creative spark as a Special Ed TA but also paints vivid worlds, writes melodies that sing, and finds peace under starry skies while camping.

Special thanks to her boyfriend Russell, who cheers her on as she makes her Riverbend Players debut.

CRIMES OF THE HEART:

This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”

Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.

Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.

Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.

As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.

Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.

Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

The Community Garden at Alder Creek Farm is a hands-on, sustainable food production program that increases our community’s capacity to grow healthy, affordable, organic food. The garden’s berries, vegetables, herbs, fruit trees, and ducks are tended by 50+ volunteers who share the harvest with the families served by the North County Food Bank, Nehalem Bay Community Services, and Nehalem Bay Health Center outreach programs. Unlike a traditional community garden of independent efforts, gardeners work together as a team to grow food and tend to the soil, orchard, compost, ducks, greenhouse, and irrigation and maintenance.

Ready to connect with a community of garden friends and get your hands in the soil? Join us for the 2024 program at Alder Creek Farm! Application period open now. We hope to welcome you to the garden this year!
