Host Kevin Joyce, the Co-founder of EnJoy Productions, and a musician and auctioneer, has become one of the most popular and sought-after fundraising hosts in the Pacific Northwest. He created and hosted the TV show Big Night Out for two seasons on the Seattle Channel.
Mick Holsbeke was a cast member in the 2018 re-opening of the world famous Teatro Zinzanni, and is a world-renown clown with a ravenous appetite for the ridiculous. His circus expertise was developed at the prestigious Ecole Nationale de Cirque de Montreal. He has garnered multiple prizes at the Festival Mondiale du Cirque de Demain in Paris, and also has performed with several international companies, including Cirque Du Soleil.
Alex Zerbe is known for “moving like a rubber band from one end of the stage to the other.” He specializes in beatboxing, juggling, dancing, signing, music and magic. Piers Morgan of “America’s Got Talent” called him, “the total package.” Zerbe is a Hacky Sack World Champion, was voted the Pacific Northwest’s Funnies Prop comic, and is a two- time Guinness World Record Holder.
Jenny Penny is an aerialist, acrobalancer, fire performer, circus entertainer, burlesque dancer and costumer. Performing since 2004, she has been featured at venues such as the Gorge, WaMu Theater, the Gramercy Theater in New York and the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas. She has been instructing partner balancing, aerial, fire arts and stilting in Seattle for more than 10 years.
Called by many –including Roger Ebert of Siskel and Ebert and noted film historian Leonard Matlin – as the greatest movie of alltime, Casablanca was selected to be shown as the first classic film at
Hog Wild because it is Hollywood’s quintessential statement on love and romance, with characters sacrificing love for a higher purpose.
But the film is more than that. Yes, the story revolves around the passion between Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), but is staged during World War II, a time when Americans and most of the rest of the world’s population were on edge daily due to the fact that we had had very few victories. The Germans had conquered most of Europe, while the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor and occupied most of Eastern Asia.
And unlike most war films, which are shown following the end of conflict, this one came out during the war, when Hollywood was eager to show films that offered hope to a beleaguered American public, which Casablanca did more than any other film.
In the beginning of the film, several characters are flawed. Rick does what is necessary to appease Vichy and the Nazis – “I stick out my neck for nobody.” French inspector Renault begins as a collaborator with the Nazis who extorts sexual favors from refugees and has Ugarte killed. Even Ilsa, the least active of the main characters, is caught in the emotional struggle over which man she really loves.
By the end, however, “everybody is sacrificing.”
Starting out as a love story the movie becomes a blend of drama, melodrama, comedy and intrigue. “The first time around you might pay attention to only the superficial love story,” the Washington Free Beacon said in a remembrance of the film’s 75th anniversary. “By the second and third and fourth showings the sub-textual politics have moved to the fore.”
The movie mirrored what was actually happening in real life during World War II.
Although an initial release date was anticipated for early 1943, the film premiered at Hollywood Theater in New York City on November 26, 1942, to capitalize on Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa and the capture of Casablanca
It went into general release on January 23, 1943, to take advantage of the Casablanca Conference, a high-level meeting in the city between British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and American PresidentFranklinD Roosevelt
The Office of War Information prevented screening of the film to troops in North Africa, believing it would cause resentment among Vichysupportersintheregion
Besides Bogart and Bergman, the film featured some of the best actors of all time:
Paul Henreid as Victor Laszlo, an Austrian actor who had emigrated to the U.S. in 1935.
Claude Rains as Captain Louis Renault Conrad Veidt was from Germany but despised the Nazis (he had a Jewish wife). However, he frequently played Nazis in American films.
Sydney Greenstreet as Signor Ferrari
Peter Lorre as Signor Ugarte. Lorre (real name Laszlo Lowenstein) was Jewish, and fled Germany when Adolf Hitler came to power.
One of Casablanca’s main themes was of refugees trying to reach freedom in America.
Much of the emotional impact of the film has been attributed to the large proportion of actual European exiles and refugees who were extras or played minor roles. A witness to the filming of the “duel of the anthems” sequence saw many of the actors crying and “realized that they were all real refugees.” They brought dozens of small roles to Casablanca an understanding and a desperation that could have never come out of central casting.
As great as the script, directing and the story was for Casablanca, it wouldn’t have resonated with its audiences without its two stars.
“Bogie” is arguably the most culturally iconic actor in the history of film. During his early career he was often shot as a tough guy and a gangster. “In the first 34 pictures,” he told journalist George Frazier, “I was shot in 12, electrocuted or hanged in 8 and was a jailbird in 9.”
Casablanca was his first romantic film, after his highly successful role in the classic film noir, The Maltese Falcon, as Detective Sam Spade.
Although Bogart’s wife Mayo Methot thought otherwise, his and Bergman’s on-screen relationship was based on professionalism rather than actual rapport. Off the set, the co-stars hardly spoke. Bergman (who had a reputation for affairs with her leading men) later said about Bogart, “I kissed him but I never knew him.”
Because she was taller, Bogart had 3inch blocks attached to his shoes in some scenes.
Bergman is regarded as one of the most influential screen figures in cinematic history. The daughter of a Swedish father and a German mother, she became the ideal of “American womanhood,” according to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture.
Casablanca was not one of Bergman’s favorite performances (she won three Academy Awards, but was not nominated for Casablanca).
“I made so many films which were more important, but the only one people ever want to talk about is the one with Bogart.” In later years, she stated, “I feel about Casablanca that it has a life of its own. There is something mystical about it. It seems to have filled a need, a need that was there before film, a need that the film filled.”
According to the American Film Institute, of the top 100 lines written in movie history, six come from Casablanca:
“Here’s looking at you, kid.”
“Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”
“Play it Sam. Play ‘As Times Goes By”
“Round up the usual suspects”
“We’ll always have Paris.”
“Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”
These six lines are the most of any film (Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz tied for second with three apiece).
The first writers assigned to the script were twins Julius and Philip Epstein, who were helped by Howard Koch. Philip is the grandfather of Theo Epstein, the General Manager of both the Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs who developed the teams that won the World Series after droughts of 86 and 108 years respectively.
I had the great fortune to meet Julius – a Penn State graduate and a member of its NCAA boxing team (he is buried wearing his Penn State jersey) – at a 1986 dinner in State College, Pennsylvania, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Penn State football when I was with the Fiesta Bowl.
Former Penn State stars Todd Blackledge, Franco Harris, Lydell Mitchell, John Capelletti, Jimmy Cefalo, Rosey Grier, Jack Ham, Matt Millen, Lenny Moore, Dave Robinson and many more were present.
Julius was also present, but few people knew who he was until ABC sports announcer Beano Cook walked to him and said:
“Julie, there are a lot of famous people here tonight, but none of them can hold a candle to you.”
Many of us have seen Casablanca, Citizen Kane, the Maltese Falcon, the African Queen several times, but almost all of us have never seen them on the big screen. That is why the OMC Foundation is bringing classic films to Field Hall, giving audiences the chance to see them in their larger format.
We also show it because it is a remembrance of devastation that we don’t want to repeat. 50 million people died during World War II, by far the deadliest conflict in the world’s history. Over 700,000 Americans perished. The country’s male population fought on two fronts – in the Pacific and in Europe.
Casablanca went on to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, director Michael Curtiz was selected as Best Director and Julius and Phillip Epstein and Howard Koch were honored with best screenplay.
After his death, a “Bogie cult” formed at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Greenwich Village and in France, and then spread all over the world. This contributed to his increased popularity. In 1997, Entertainment Weekly magazine ranked Bogart the No. 1 movie legend of all time.
Several movies have paid tribute to Casablanca, highlighted by Woody Allen’s Play it Again Sam. Bogart’s ghost visits Allen’s character: a film critic having difficulties with women who says that his “sex life has turned into the ‘Petrified Forest.”
Film critic Roger Ebert on the chemistry between Bergman and Bogart: “she paints his face with her eyes.”
Dooley Wilson was cast in the role of Sam, which was one of a handful of roles in which an African-American was allowed some dignity. A drummer, Wilson pretended to play the piano in the film while songs were actually being played by Elliot Carpenter, who sat at a piano out of camera ranged where Wilson could watch his hand movements.
Bogart ad-libbed the line, “Here’s Looking at Your Kid” – it wasn’t in the original script.
The film ran into trouble with Joseph Breen of the Production Code Administration (the Hollywood selfcensorship body), who opposed the suggestions that Captain Renault extorted sexual favors from visa applicants, and that Rick and Ilsa slept together. Extensive changes were made to the script.
The piano Sam “plays” in Rick’s Café Americain sold at auction for $3.4 million in 2014.
The end of the film was constantly being rewritten – the ending wasn’t decided until three weeks before the end of shooting.

Enjoy an evening for six to eight people at three different houses on Lake Crescent or Sutherland (your choice)
You’ll travel by boat to three different homes for this incredible dinner.
You’ll be hosted by Dr. Dirk and Kelly Gouge, Casi and Duffy Fors, Bruce and Kathy Skinner, and others.
2021 auction winners Alison Penczak just enjoyed this item last week and had this to say about the experience.
Last weekend eight friends had the extreme pleasure of a progressive dinner on Lake Crescent hosted by three OMC families. Not only did they demonstrate the courage to welcome with total strangers into their beautiful waterfront homes, but their warmth, culinary skills, and service were amazing.
Starting at the Storm Ridge boat ramp, we were whisked to the first home in a 26 foot Malibu whose cockpit looked like a craft from Star Wars At the first home on this progressive dinner, we enjoyed an amazing charcuterie spread complimented with some nice vintages from the Harbinger Winery
Back to the Malibu, and on to the main course, the scene of which was an amazing home in a secluded section of the lake We visited around the fire pit as the chefs prepared our feast, sipping Pina Coladas Then seated under the canopy just feet from the indescribably blue water of Lake Crescent, we were served, and I’m not exaggerating, one of the most tender tenderloins of beef this reviewer has ever enjoyed, complemented by a medley of cooked just right veggies, and some terrific cheesy mashed potatoes.
Back to the Malibu, and across the lake for dessert The setting was a restored 1930 cabin at the end of the lake The view from the front window captured the entire lake and was a throwback to an era when people enjoyed nature, the company of interesting people, and food prepared with love, by hand
The desserts (yes, more than one) included homemade carrot cake that looked like it had been crafted by a professional baker, and a blackberry pie served with Tillamook vanilla ice cream. Wine, spirits, after dinner drinks and coffee were also part of the fete.
The food, the scenery and the unique experience were quite special. But most of all, meeting new people who opened their homes and their hearts to others made our evening on the lake the most special of all
"It was MAGIC! We all had the time of our lives, and we cannot thank you enough. "

Center Foundation, just recently created and bottled by Harbinger Winery Many of you have purchased bottles of Confluence, the official red wine created by Camaraderie Cellars Now you can drink its cousin
We’re also throwing in a case of the most recent vintage of Confluence.
We are raising money for the OMP Children's Clinic & OMC Healthcare Scholarship Fund.
This year we are raising funds to purchase a Panda Warmer and a Fetal Maternal Heart Monitor System. A Panda Warmer is a radiant warmer used in Labor and Delivery. It is an easy access, portable unit to safely place baby that provides warmth and maintains body temperature in newborns. It has an integrated scale, monitors baby’s vitals and oxygen saturation while allowing physicians to perform necessary screenings and/or life saving measures.
The OMC Foundation has announced that it has created a $400,000 scholarship program to help increase the number of healthcare workers in Clallam County, and to allow current OMC employees to further their education
One of the biggest obstacles that current employees, adults who want to change careers, and students face when they want to enter or advance in the healthcare field is the cost We want to take that out of the equation, as we plan on these being significant awards
Growing the workforce is one of the the most significant challenges facing the healthcare industry and OMC today. By offering scholarships, we feel that we’ll be able to increase the potential employee pool that OMC can draw from. It will also help the rest of the industry in the County.
It is anticipated that half of the funds will go to employees seeking continued education in health care, while the other half will go to area students who want to take medical courses at Peninsula College. The Foundation plans to continue this program in the years to come.
At well child visits at the OMC Children's Clinic, we give each child a new, developmentally-appropriate book to take home with them. For some of the families that this program serves, they may not have many books at home.
"I am so grateful for the Reach Out and Read program Coming to the doctor is scary for most kids and to be able to walk into a check up with a gift for a child is a great way to break the ice It also sends the message to kids and to families that reading is important. Often, we have a chance to model how to interact with the baby and the book and it gives parents or siblings a way to play with their child. Thank you for funding this amazing program, we are so grateful to you for helping us give these gifts to the kids ”
Amy Miller, PAC“I for one am so appreciative of the books we are able to provide to our patients. Many of our littles come in anticipating receiving their new book, and those that don't are so surprised! If a child had to have vaccinations, they are able to leave on a good note Some of them are able to choose their new book, which gives them a sense of control Also, some of our patients do not have many possessions of their own, and these books make such a difference Thank You!”
Shae Avera, MA-C“Thank you so much for monetary support for our Reach Out and Read program. Giving a book is one of the best parts of doing well child visits. I love reading them as much as the kids do. It is a joy to see the excitement in each child getting to take a book home and add to their home library Thank you for supporting us and developing literacy ”
Christine Rose, MD“The reach out and read program is the best part of any clinic day Walking in to the room with a book in hand, it’s fun to see the child’s eyes widen in anticipation and excitement when they realize the book is theirs to keep! Incorporating reading in to the child’s visit allays nerves and solidifies a positive physician/child relationship. It’s also such a great way to assess the child’s knowledge of numbers, colors, letters and even facial expression! Thank you so much for helping to enrich the lives of our communities children in such an amazing way!”
Erika McClure, MD“I just want to say thank you to the Board for making this possible for the kids. They love all the books that they receive.”
Shanna Butler, MA-C“I try to start checkups by handing the kids their book and telling parents about reach out and read The kids will light up (even the babies) and reach out for the book immediately Parents are always grateful and the kids love getting a “present” Especially during the pandemic, when it was not possible to go to the library, these books meant so much to the families and children.”
Laura Bullen, MD“I would like to thank you for your support with our Reach Out and Read program I have been told by parents how grateful they are for the book that they receive, and the look of excitement on the child's face when we hand them the book is undeniable They always seem to look forward to that part of the visit most Sometimes the book from this program is a childs very first book. We are so very thankful to be able to enhance the lives of our little ones here at the clinic.”
Devanee Cipriano, MA-C“I wish you could be there to see the absolute delight that some of my patients have responded with when I hand them a book. It certainly feeds my soul. Parents are also very grateful for the books and begin reading them to the patient in the exam rooms.”
Sandra Relyea, PAC“I would like to take the time to say how much this program is such a positive way to encourage our children to continue or begin to read. Thank you for starting this program.”
