During the past 80 years, Jacquie Svidran has transformed herself into a menagerie of unique and memorable characters. On stage she has played roles ranging from a jovial Catholic nun to a Jewish matchmaker to Queen Victoria. Television audiences in Alaska knew her as "Mother Moose," a role that required her to wear a 75-pound puppet head. "I had a brake cable inside that I pulled to make the eyes roll, and these bosoms were as big as basketballs," she said, describing the costume. "I could only wear it about 15 minutes, then I'd have to take it off and rest."
Camas was recently named one of the top cities in Washington to own a home. NerdWallet, a consumer advocacy website, conducted a study to find the top 20 best places for home ownership in Washington. Rankings were based on home ownership rates, selected monthly homeowner costs, monthly household income and population growth.
City of Washougal employees met this morning and received accolades for their involvement in positive financial news.

The actual deficit was approximately $6,000. The difference was due to higher revenues and lower expenses, according to Forsberg.

Begley previously provided program sales and administrative/bookkeeping services for a traveling children's entertainment company for more than 12 years.

The Camas City Council is interested in knowing exactly what citizens think about Initiative-502 and how its implementation should -- or shouldn't -- impact the local community. During last night's Camas City Council meeting, Mayor Scott Higgins said he would like more information, so that he can gauge whether the community has a strong feeling about the issue one way or another. "I don't believe we've heard from a lot of our community yet," he said. "I personally haven't received much feedback at all as far as what course of action the community should take on that, and I think I'd really love it if we invited it."
On Saturday, my Mt. Norway kitchen was overflowing with the aromas of delicious, savory delights -- pork marinated in ginger and a thick, sweet soy sauce, then cooked for nearly two hours on a low heat with Asian chile powder to create a unique stew. Mint, onion, ginger and garlic later joined the flavor palate to create a potato salad tossed with gently seasoned oil. On Sunday, sweeter scents prevailed as a mixture of fresh pineapple, sugar, cinnamon and clove simmered on top of the stove in my favorite bright red dutch oven. The result was a ridiculously sweet, syrupy jam that I later spooned into a hot cup of English breakfast tea, and spread on top of a slice of crusty bread.
