Wayne, O’Hara & Irish countryside star in John Ford’s The Quiet Man, at 7th Street Theatre March 8-9
Director John Ford won his record fourth Best Director Oscar for the 1952 classic, “The Quiet Man,” the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series. The movie will be shown at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:00 p.m. Sunday, March 8 and 9, at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam.
John Wayne had one of the most unusual roles of his career as “The Quiet Man,” troubled American boxer Sean Thornton, who retires to the Irish village of his birth, where he finds a new life and love. Real Irish actress Maureen O’Hara plays the redhead with a temper to match.
Director Ford first acquired the rights to “The Quiet Man” in 1936, but it would be another 15 years before his dream of adapting the story to film would become a reality. Studios repeatedly turned down the project, and it ultimately took a deal with Wayne, O’Hara and Ford agreeing to make “Rio Grande” in 1950 for “The Quiet Man” to be filmed the next year.
At 7th Street Theatre, located at 313 7th Street in downtown Hoquiam, doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. Saturday showing and 1:30 pm for the 2:00 p.m. Sunday showing. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

On Saturday, March 22, at 3 p.m. Michele Longo Eder, the author of Salt In Our Blood: The Memoir of a Fisherman’s Wife, will be signing her book at Westport Winery.
Salt In Our Blood recounts the moving story of a commercial fisherman’s wife, who is both a mother and a successful attorney on the Oregon coast. Set against the sudden loss at sea of the Eders’ oldest son, Ben, it is a tale of indescribable sadness but also one of resilience and courage – a stunning testament to one family’s strength and the memory of their remarkable son. In 2009, Salt in Our Blood received a first prize WILLA award in the category of creative non-fiction.
With her husband, Bob Eder, Michele is a co-owner of the F/ V Timmy Boy, a 60-foot steel vessel based out of Newport, Oregon. For more than 30 years, Michele has also practiced law along the Oregon coast, representing families, fishermen and their businesses. Currently, Michele is a member of the NOAA Marine Fisheries Advisory Committee and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Oregon State University.
Michelle will also be the guest speaker on Sunday, March 23 at 4:30 p.m. at Westport Winery as part of the WEfish Organization Kick-off. This group is a non-profit organization that invites all members of the community to learn more on the effort to support commercial fishing through promotion, education, outreach and service.

Iconic Hollywood rebel, director, and director John Huston won his only Academy Awards with the 1948 classic adventure drama, “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.” Starring Humphrey Bogart, the film is the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.
Bogie plays down-on-his-luck Fred C. Dobbs, who, along with a partner, meets grizzled prospector Howard, in an Oscar-winning performance by the director’s father, Walter Huston, who died in 1950. Together, this uneasy alliance goes in search of gold and ultimately learns of the devastating power and peril of greed.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. Saturday showing and 1:30 pm for the 2:00 p.m. Sunday showing. Tickets are available at the door, and advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen, and at Brown Paper Tickets.
In celebration of creating Grays Harbor’s first arboretum, Westport Winery is hosting its inaugural Arbor Festival on Sunday, April 13, from noon to 4p.m. As part of this event, the Grays Harbor and Pacific County Master Gardeners will unveil a bench in the winery’s new Don Tapio Dwarf Conifer Collection in appreciation for Tapio’s considerable service to the community. This dedication will be held at 2 p.m. in the winery gardens. A reception will follow under the winery’s solar panels.
At 1 p.m. the winery will lead its weekly Backstage Winemaker’s Tour of their production facility. The price to join this tour is $5 per person. Wine club members may join this tour at no charge. Check in for this tour is 12:45 p.m. at the tasting bar.
At 3 p.m. winery co-owner, Kim Roberts will lead the first walking tour of the arboretum and a discussion of the winery’s design plans for the garden. All guests purchasing plants in the winery’s nursery will be given a free tree for Arbor Day. The winery’s arboretum was the brain child of retired WSU County Extension Agent Don Tapio.
For both the production and the arboretum tour good walking shoes and the ability to walk on rough surfaces over a moderate distance is required as these areas are working farms.
Jessica Marie Porter will be performing in the winery’s Farm to Fork Restaurant & Bakery from noon to 4 p.m. Full wine tasting will be offered at both of the winery’s bars (but not in the restaurant).
In May, the state celebrates the 100 year anniversary of the WSU Extension Program. Don Tapio’s advice to the Roberts family who created Westport Winery will be featured in a story about the impact of the extension program and agents.
