lumbia TimeBank will host a
series of informal get-togethers
for TimeBank members and
the public. Scheduled from 3
to 5 p.m. the second Thursday
of March, April and May at the
Blue Scorcher Bakery & Café,
each meet and greet will in-
clude a short presentation by a
TimeBank member on a topic
of local interest followed by a
timebanking discussion.
March 10 features Brian
Mahoney, director of the Clat-
sop County Department of
Public Health, who will give
a talk on “What Your Health
Department Offers You.”
On April 14, Astoria May-
or Arline LaMear will give the
talk “Update from the Mayor.”
On May 12, Craig Holt of
the Astoria Music Festival will

TimeBank members the op-
portunity to meet in person and
talk about TimeBank offers,
requests and activities. They
offer the public a chance to
learn more about timebanking
and how to get involved.
Timebanking is a type
of online social networking
where people can exchange
services, share items and work
together on neighborhood or
community projects — all for
hours, not money. The Lower
Columbia TimeBank began in

THE COASTER THEATRE PLAYHOUSE PRESENTS
ASTORIA — Partners for the
PAC are sponsoring the play
“Twelve Angry Men,” direct-
ed by Sheila Shaffer. Perfor-
mances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday
and Saturday, March 11, 12,
18 and 19; and at 3 p.m. Sun-

“Twelve Angry Men” is a
powerful, riveting and time-
ly courtroom drama adapted
for the stage by Sherman L.
Sergel. Based on the 1954
teleplay of the same title for
the CBS Studio One antholo-
gy television series by Regi-
nald Rose, it was made into a
KLJKO\VXFFHVVIXO¿OPLQ
starring and produced by Hen-
ry Fonda. The drama depicts
a jury considering a homicide
trial. It looks like an open-
and-shut case until one of the
jurors begins opening the oth-
ers’ eyes to the facts, causing
reasonable doubt. Tempers get
short, arguments grow heated
and the jurors become 12 an-
gry men.
Shaffer has been directing
on the coast for more than 10
years. She is a veteran both on
