Journal photo by Natalie Johnson Elwood P. Dowd, played by Jordan Hanson, claims to see Harvey, a giant white rabbit. Harvey Continued from page B-1 "As you can see, Harvey is a Pooka," Dowd says. However, only Dowd sees Harvey, or so we think at the beginning of the play. Throughout the course of the play, Dowd's sister Veta Simmons, played by Arielle Johnson, and niece, Myrtle Mae Simmons, played by Lau- ren Thatcher, try to get him committed to Chum- ley's Rest Sanitarium. "His mother recently died, and then he met Harvey, and Harvey never left his side," Hanson said. '+Harvey's a way to fill the void." However, the students in the play said that it isn't that simple, and that even Veta Simmons admits to seeing Harvey from time tu time. and during a memorable scene from the play, Dr. Chumley meets ftarvey ill his office. The play questions tra- dititm,[ Meas about sanity and insanity, the students said. "Even crazy people can be nice," said Travis Hanes, who played Dr. Chumley. The play questions who is more crazy, Dowd, who frequently converses with a P.ooka, but is pleasant, charming and a friend to all, or his family and doc- tors, who scheme to com- mit him to a mental insti- tution so he will no longer impede their social life. Dowd goes in and out of the sanitarium, and eventually agrees to treat- ment, until his sister real- izes she loves him the way he is. "Well I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doc- tor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it," Dowd says. One of Dowd's most memorable lines sums up much of the plot. "Years ago my mother used to say to me ... 'In this world, Elwood, you ! must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I rec- ommend pleasant. You may quote me," he says. Chris Fawcett, a teach- er at SHS who directed the play, said he chose it simply because it's an en- joyable play. "I just think it's a great play ... it's simple, and good for students," he said. Overall, he said he was pleased with their perfor- mances. "Our dress rehearsal was a little rough, last night was better, and to- night was great," he said. i Fully custom fit nVlSl Miracle-Ear® On sale for a limited time! Sale ends I/21/11 Cookin' eases."

This month the hostesses were Margaret Loughlin, Pat LeClair and Jenifer Meier who served homemade cream puffs filled with ei- ther chocolate or vanilla cream and topped with va- nilla ice cream. The tables were deco- rated with silver and blue tinsel and gambling chips to coincide with the Bingo game we were about to play. Linda VanLandinham won the door prize. We had a guest all the way from Boise, Idaho, Darla McDaniel, daughter of Judy Callaghan. Pam Wood, chairman of the Sun- shine Committee will be asked to send out welcome letters to any new members in the future as they join the Women's Club to en- courage their participation and make them feel wel- come. Patti Chapman gave an overview of the club's finan- cial situation for the coming year and they will continue the discussion next month with regard to how to vote Digital technology delivers the clearest, most accurate sound quality available in hearing aids!** FREE ear canal inspections* Sometimes it's nothing more than excessive earwax. We use our state of-the-art Video Otoscope to look inside your ear canal. You can watch on a video monitor as it happens. on future requests for dona- tions. There will also be contin- ued discussion next month about how the club votes. Should they continue to vote by a show of hands or would it be more fair to have a paper ballot. The feeling being that they may obtain a more fair vote by paper ballot. Brenda Stainbrook is in charge of their luncheon off the island in April and is suggesting that they dine at the Lake Limerick Country Club. Beginning next month they will collect the cost of the lunch, which needs to be prepaid. Carol Bush requested to meet with the Board to discuss how the club should handle planning for a memorial luncheon in the future. With the need to plan the May Luncheon just ahead of them, Patti fore- warned everyone that since it worked so well picking a piece of colored paper from a bowl which indicated what job members were as- signed to for the Christmas 'Party that she would like to plan that method again for the May luncheon. Della Rogers started a discussion about scholar- ships for this next year and moved to award three $t,000 in 2011. Two of the scholarships will come from The Harstine Island Women's Club budget and the other from the interest from our Chase Endow- ment. Linda VanLanding- ham seconded the motion and it was passed. Donna Hamilton an- nounced that next month's program was being planned by Diane Myers. and Alli- son Main. The program will feature a speaker from Kit- ten Rescue. Members may bring donations of canned pet food (cat food should not contain fish byproducts) and are encouraged to bring photos of their favorite pets. Sewing will be at Donna Hamilton's Tuesday, Jan. 25. Inquiring Minds will present three speakers in 2011. The first presentation is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 30 at 2 p.m. The sec- ond speaker is on February 27 at 2 p.m. and the third is Mar. 27 at 2 p.m. These pre- sentations are all held at the Harstine Island Com- munity Hall with the doors opening at 1:30 p.m. The series is free to the public. Donations will be accepted at the door. Everyone was reminded that in March they will have their popular soup lun- cheon with Kinser through Zeeben bringing food. The organizers for the Rod and Jenny Hammett party are still putting the event together. It will take place Saturday, Jan. 22 at the Community Hall. The organizers, Barbara LaJune, Dudley Panchot, Richard Peet and Mary Nichols, would like to have a potluck dinner starting at 5 p.m. It will be a BYOB dinner, kind of like a regu- lar Community Club meet- ing. They also need to raise some money through dona- tions before the event takes place so they can buy a go- ing away gift. As we all know, Rod and Jenny have been a driving force for our island community for years and their departure from the island is going to leave a big hole. So, give one of the or- ganizers a call and donate a little money today. If you've been meaning to donate some money but haven't gotten around to it yet, Richard will be at this Friday's Community Club meeting, so bring your checkbook.
