Director Zemeckis takes us ‘Back to the Future’ at 7th Street Theatre Jan. 25-26
A box-office smash from the wild imagination of director Robert Zemeckis, “Back to the Future” will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 25-26, at Grays Harbor’s historic 7th Street Theatre, in downtown Hoquiam. The 1985 film was also co-written by Zemeckis, Best Director Oscar winner for “Forrest Gump” and director of “Romancing the Stone,” “Who Framed Roger Rabbit,” “Cast Away,” “Polar Express” and a pair of “Future” sequels, among his credits. The movie offers breakthrough big screen roles to an unlikely pair of TV stars, 24year-old Michael J. Fox of “Family Ties” and Christopher Lloyd, already a double Emmy winner for “Taxi” and 23 years Fox’s senior. As Marty McFly and Doc Brown, they take us through a fun and crazy time travel adventure that includes the Flux Capacitor (“still, uh, fluxing”) and helped make the DeLorean car an iconic piece of pop culture. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. The theatre is at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam. Tickets are $6, available at the door or in advance at Harbor Drug and Crown Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and online at www.7thstreettheatre.com.

Washington’s economy is booming
Are you experiencing the boom in your business, organization, and community?

When it comes to training existing employees and finding qualified new hires, the challenge is real in rural Washington. Education, workforce training, and other services may or may not be available where you live. If they are—then are they working for you? Effective policy for rural regions can only be informed by the “lived in” experience of people in those communities. That’s the purpose behind this Rural Community Vitality Forum in Aberdeen that asks the local community what’s working, and what’s not. Tell us your story, give us your perspective, and help shape solutions. This will be a facilitated but free-flowing discussion, so come prepared to participate.

We’re listening, and so is the U.S. Department of Labor
This rural “listening tour” is brought to you by the state’s Workforce Board, which helps convene and oversee the state’s workforce system. An economist from the Workforce Board will provide a snapshot of the local economy. Then a facilitator funded by the U.S. Department of Labor will help us capture your comments and frame next steps. Once the comments are compiled you’ll have a chance to provide input before a report is provided to state and federal policymakers. This is your chance to be heard, and make a difference where you live.

We need a firm headcount for our business breakfast (7:30 a.m.) and our community forum. So register today for these free events at:
