Michigan City’s own Melisa Nancy Ambrose King is featured Barrick-Baldwin, soprano. on opening night in Vivaldi’s “Concerto for Oboe and Strings.” THE Page 4 August 9, 2012 “Play it Again, Sam” at Canterbury Summer Theatre “Play it Again, Sam,” Woody Allen’s hilarious and touching comedy and the fifth production of the 2012 Canterbury Summer Theatre Season, opens Wednesday, August 8, and continues thru Saturday, August 11, at Michigan City’s Mainstreet Theatre, 807 Franklin Street. Allan Felix (Alex Rogers), a mild mannered film critic, aficionado, and worshipper of Humphrey Bogart (Alex Huff), has recently been deserted by his wife. His friends, Dick and Linda Christie (Matt Carroll and Mary- Margaret Roberts), worry about him and attempt to console him by fixing him up with a variety of eligible young women. Little do they know that Allan is being coached by an imaginary Bogey who tells him what he needs to do to be suave and sexy, but Allan is so awkward that even Bogey’s patience is tried. A major problem is that the only woman Allan feels comfortable with is Linda and as they are forced together more and more by her Mary-Margaret Roberts, Leah Mazur, Alex Rogers, and Katherine Damisch workaholic husband’s neglect and his ill-fated love connections, they begin to fall for each other. In the end, he has to decide whether the true measure of a man is luck with the ladies or loyalty to his friends. The comedy opened in 1969 and ran for 453 performances on Broadway. It was nominated for three Tony Awards and, in 1972 it was made into a movie starring its author, Woody Allen, and Diane Keaton. Allen, an author, screenwriter, director, actor and comedian has won three Academy Awards and has been nominated 21 times. Among his best known works are “Manhattan” and “Annie Hall.” Tickets are $14.00 on Wednesday and Thursday, $15.00 on Friday and Saturday. Senior Citizen, group and student discounts are available as well as group luncheon/dinner theatre packages. Curtain is Wednesday thru Saturday at 8:00 pm with a 2:00 pm Wednesday matinee and an additional 5:00 pm Saturday performance. Reserved seating is available by calling the Mainstreet Theatre box office (219-874-4269), in person at 807 Franklin Street or through e-mail at [email protected].

AN ODE TO A CONFLICTED IRISH GIRL Irish Whiskey A MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE
Should this be a letter or a poem and if a poem, yes a poem, should it credit those that came before, more eloquent than I, Burns, Byron, Keats Chenier, Gnedich, Malczewski, Nyberg, Romero, Sousa, Tyutchev, Poe or the Confederation themselves? Should it be a Quatrain, a Trimeric, a Pantoum, in Metaphor or Limerick or Iambic Pentameter or just free form? If I put the bottle in Gitche Gumee on the other side how many years wasted if you it doesn’t reach…how to guide it between Stops 13 and 33….to the beach…the BEACHER! We have known each other for two life times and on your steps you asked when I knew you had a crush and I tried to tell you but at the time you were so young, just nine at the beach and wanted to go with me and the boys on the old surf board behind the century to learn and of course mom and dad said no. Th e next time you were eighteen and answered the door with a towel on your just washed hair, a bra and panties, not embarrassed you said come in, it would only take a minute to get ready. You looked to see my face; I smiled at the grin you had as if saying “this could have been!” You looked so confi dent and smug and of course you were right. Th ree men have not brought you the long term love you’ve sought……but with those years not for naught you have great sons. How could a young love die, why did a husband cheat and another steal and gamble and lose you! And now you have a date, which does not deserve you as a mate; can you imagine me saying ever “Its time we date another?” A man for you does not place children second but equal under diff erent circumstances. It takes a team and some one that can love and respect and teach them for you have miles to go before you sleep. Your dad and mom showed the way, they were also mine as well you know. What my father started my matriarch of a mother fi nished and she was right that the kids are yours until forty fi ve and then they are still yours with grandchildren. I know how you raised yours and you know how I have raised mine, let’s fi nish in love the job togeth- er….this time. Last year you had the chance and said I was mean. Th is year you said I was right and know that as a true best friend I want the women the last two didn’t know they had. Aft er six months pasta instead of potato chips people will say “Have you seen her late- ly, she’s so happy…and another will say its love!” Th e wine and the feet is God’s warning about what you eat. Let’s cook together. Your mom’s advice on “Choose One” was half right the other should have been a subscription to Cooking Light. Dinner was great, I canceled your other date, you worked the bar with friends that water skied with you at age 13 and you learned that sometimes even you can’t pay at your favorite place…. You matched my wines with martinis and the car ride blew your hair under a night sky full of the same stars I have steered the boats by….I opened the car door and we walked up the steps only to turn and take the kiss that was ours. Th e passion I’ve missed you matched with each kiss….thank the heavens you know how to kiss! You cracked open that hard shell and for a time the moon light was in your eyes and you opened your heart, your voice was soft …the feminine beauty hidden so long reached out. As we touched you promised to trust me, say every day you loved me and love me on the beach. I promised my heart and more love than you can believe possible….we promised each other tomorrow! You said three times you don’t have to go but I wanted this thing to stand the test of daylight and another night, it would have been easy but it won’t have been right, I surmise to your surprise it’s the only time you have ever been turned down, even for just a while. For you there cannot be one night but all the nights knowing in your heart and mine that this is the way it is meant to be, to feel, to love…..to dream. I left you and walked the beach until sunrise knowing the next day could work with compromise. You didn’t handle the next day well, you were back in your shell; afraid to lose what won’t suit you now…. that confl icted can’t come close to describe….a last love lost forever. I off er my hand to yours, walk with me at the water’s edge of an inland sea…..leave our footprints in the sand to be erased by a wave….it will take all your courage to set us both free…… Ask your friends and family what to do but ask your heart what can be……. Your experience has been hard but don’t trap your love in a cave…. Your life and mine are set on a course that everyone will look back and say…..it was meant to be! You know the number, you owe the call, and you know what’s right now you must face it all…..not enough time to ponder the words and make it all rhyme……the Beacher, the Beacher has a deadline!

The expansion--the Hull- House Urban Farm--has come into operation less than a block from Hull House itself. “The farm is a learning center for organic garden- ing,” says head farmer Ryan Beck. “Heirloom veg- etables and fruits are, to date, our specialties.” Beck treasures the farm’s potential for spreading the hoped-for harvests from once-prized agricultur- al “heirlooms.” “Each planting harks back to its rich past and to Back in action as a center for the practice and teaching of social work, Hull House comes to new life. the stories of the people who hoarded the heirlooms, passing them often from generation to generation Next door is the Arts and Crafts dining hall where and carrying them from the home country to the resident volunteers--most of them college-educated United States,” Mr. Beck says. women--once dined.

Life on the “Sunset Coast” of Southwest Michigan the cat at my feet and the resident cardinal singing is really the most I could ever ask for. his song of territory in the red oak tree above. All is right with the world so far as I can see or hear from here. The cat and I have just been down what is called the “dog path” to see the sunset, and now we are, as my Scottish ancestors would have said: “roamin’ in the gloamin’.” Well, the cat is up and roaming after some suspect- ed rodent redoubts. I, on the other hand, am content to just sit here on the front porch and encour- age the fi rst fi refl ies of the night to fl ash one another.

THE August 9, 2012 Page 47 We could sit on the front porch and ruminate in the gloamin’, but we would rather hop in our cars and drive not so very far to buy what it takes to sustain who we are. Such are my thoughts. And such is life here in the gloamin’ on the front porch. But, you know, it is a good life. The fi refl ies are out in force now, and I think I may have just seen a scarlet tanager fl it by before retiring for the night. Do you know long it’s been since I have seen a scarlet tanager fl it past the front porch?
The Sunset Coast is really the most. So, despite all the world’s woes, this is a good life. No, as the folks in Frank Capra’s mythical town of Bedford Falls would say: “It’s a wonderful life.” Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go use the fa- cilities. I am 62 after all!
