All Day Boogie Woogie Over To SRT’s Bulwark Of A Basement
Columbia, CA...The Church Basement Ladies return to the Sierra Repertory’s Fallon House Theatre October 14 through November 27 in A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement. Directed by original Sierra Rep church lady Becky Saunders, the production will feature a brand new cast along with upbeat, fun new songs and story.

cbl1
The year is 1960, and a reformation is underway. Against the changing tide, the Church Basement Ladies stand strong in their faith and in their friendships. Beverly, the young daughter of Karin, gets her first pair of high heels for confirmation; their very nervous Pastor makes it to the alter on time; Mrs. Snustad and Mrs. Gilmerson plan a food booth at the County Fair to raise money; and Mrs. Engelson embarks on a spontaneous driving lesson.

The Lutheran pastor's pretty young girlfriend causes some commotion among the faithful and no one is taking it harder than senior stateswoman Vivian, played by SRT newcomer Regina Harbour. Young Beverly, played by Elizabeth McMonagle (The Robber Bridegroom, The Spitfire Grill, Putnam County Spelling Bee), is caught between being a girl and becoming a woman as she awaits her confirmation during a time when women's liberation is just beginning to be a topic of discussion. Her mother, Karin, played by local actress Catherine Gordon (SRT’s Dames At Sea, One Foot On The Floor, Gold Dust), is on an emotional rollercoaster that has her veering between tirades and tears, while Mavis, played by another local actress, Debi Woodall (SRT’s The Sound of Music, Damn Yankees, Big River), is a salt-of-the-earth type who is worried about losing part of her farm to Eisenhower’s new interstate. The pastor, played by Christopher Vettel (Church Basement Ladies, Les Misérables), is quite the nervous groom and delivers a sort of running commentary from the pulpit, not of Bible verses but rather the often-ridiculous church "news" unfolding around him.

Director Becky Sanders played Mavis in the first in the series of The Church Basement Ladies and the sequel, A Second Helping. In addition, she just appeared in the The Robber Bridegroom and directed Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and last season’s Always, Patsy Cline. Other performances include Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks, Disney’s Beauty and The Beast and The Honky Tonk Angels.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement opens Friday, October 14 and runs through Sunday, November 27 with performances Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Thursdays at either 2 or 7 p.m. A special “Talk Back” performance is Thursday, October 27. Tickets are from $32 to $37, with senior, student and child discounts available. The show is rated G. For tickets and information visit www.sierrarep.org or call the Box Office at 209-532-3120.

Best of all you will leave with a one of a kind decorated box; perfect to keep or give as a gift. Deborah Marlene and Lynne Sutton, will serve as your Hostesses, for this project.

09:00 AM - 01:00 PM Calaveras County Hosts “Drop The Drugs” Day
Calaveras County, CA...The next Calaveras County “Drop the Drugs” event is coming up on Saturday, October 22, 2016 from 9am-1pm at two locations in the county.

CalaverasCountySeal

“Drop the Drugs” sites are the parking lots at:
Calaveras County Office of Education, Angels Camp (next to Calaveras Lumber)
Toyon Middle School, between San Andreas and Valley Springs

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

During “Drop the Drugs” days, residents can get rid of expired, unused, or unwanted prescription or illegal drugs. Uniformed officers will accept the material, and request that all identifying information be marked out or removed. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked, but collection sites are not equipped to receive sharps (needles.)



The traditional methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—pose potential safety, environmental, and health hazards. Returning unused drugs to law enforcement agencies for destruction is the most environmentally responsible method of disposal.

The August 2016 collection event removed 273.5 pounds of potentially dangerous drugs and medications from the community.

“Drop the Drugs” days are sponsored by the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office, Calaveras County Office of Education, Calaveras County Behavioral Health Services, and the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention.

Community members who cannot attend the event can drop off drugs any day during business hours at permanent “Drug Drop Boxes” at the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office in San Andreas or the Angels Camp Police Department.

For more information regarding the “Drop the Drugs” days and the safe disposal of unused medicines, the public may contact Deputy Donald Kelling at 209-754-2891. For more information about the Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention, contact Michael Magana, Calaveras County Public Health Department, at 209-754-6019.
