British actor Alan Bates (1934-2003) forged his name on the West End stage in John Osborne's 'Look Back in Anger' in 1956. He also appeared in 50 films and 33 television productions, and for each role, he created a three-dimensional, unique person. With few exceptions, the talented and versatile Bates performed in premium works, guided by a pure love of acting rather than by box office.
Alan Arthur Bates was born in Allestree, England in 1934. He was the eldest of three sons of Florence Mary (née Wheatcroft), a homemaker and a pianist, and Harold Arthur Bates, an insurance broker and a cellist. Both of his parents were amateur musicians and encouraged him to pursue music, but at age 11, Alan decided to be an actor. After grammar school in Derbyshire, he earned a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. Following two years in the Royal Air Force, he made his professional theatre debut with the Midland Theater Company in central England in 1955. He joined the new English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre, and at 22, he made his West End debut in 'The Mulberry Bush' (1956), which was also the company's first production. In the same year, Bates appeared in John Osborne's 'Look Back in Anger', a play that gave a name to a generation of postwar ‘angry young men’. Along with Albert Finney, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Tom Courtenay, Bates was one of the pioneers in the ‘kitchen sink’ drama revolution that overtook the London theatre in the 1950s: angry young men - writers, actors, directors and their creations - rebelling against postwar England's middle-class values. 'Look Back in Anger' made Bates a star and launched a lifetime of his performing in works written by great modern playwrights - Harold Pinter, Simon Gray, Storey, Bennett, Peter Shaffer and Tom Stoppard as well as such classic playwrights as Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, August Strindberg and William Shakespeare. His film debut was playing one of Laurence Olivier’s sons in The Entertainer (Tony Richardson, 1960). Bates played his first lead two years later in A Kind of Loving (John Schlesinger, 1962), in which he and June Ritchie played a couple trapped in their working-class life in Manchester. He starred alongside Anthony Quinn as the young English writer, Basil, in the film for which he will always be remembered, Alexis Zorbas/Zorba the Greek (Michael Cacoyannis, 1964). Another popular success was the 'Swinging London' comedy-drama Georgy Girl (1966) with Lynn Redgrave. Throughout the 1960s he starred in several major films including as a fugitive in Whistle Down the Wind (Bryan Forbes, 1961), as a suburban social climber who doesn't stop at murder to secure Nothing But the Best (Clive Donner, 1964), in Le roi de coeur/King of Hearts (Phillipe de Broca, 1966), and in Far From the Madding Crowd (John Schlesinger, 1967). His role opposite Dirk Bogarde in The Fixer (John Frankenheimer, 1968), based on a novel by Bernard Malamud, earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. In 1969, he became the first actor to do frontal nudity in a major studio film during an infamous wrestling session with Oliver Reed in Women in Love (Ken Russell, 1969).
Alan Bates began the subsequent decade on a very positive note, cast alongside Julie Christie as illicit lovers in The Go-Between (Joseph Losey, 1971). He was handpicked by director John Schlesinger to star in the film Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971) in the role of Dr. Daniel Hirsh. Bates was held up from filming The Go-Between and had also become a father around that time, and so he had to pass on the project. The part then went first to Ian Bannen, who balked at kissing and simulating sex with another man, and then to Peter Finch, who earned an Academy Award nomination for the role. His versatility was again shown as the lead in Simon Gray's 'Butley,' a stage comedy about the emotional and psychic disintegration of an English literature professor. Bates originated the character on a London stage in 1971, did a reprise on Broadway in 1972, winning his first Tony Award, and played it again in a 1973 film. On stage, Bates had a particular association with the plays of Gray, also appearing in 'Otherwise Engaged', 'Stage Struck, Melon, Life Support and Simply Disconnected. In Otherwise Engaged, Bates' co-star was Ian Charleson, who became a good friend, and Bates later contributed a chapter to the 1990 book, 'For Ian Charleson: A Tribute'.
Alan Bates would never attain the stardom of far lesser performers because of his preference for challenging and interesting work and avoidance of being type-cast. He continued to work in film and television throughout the 1970s and 1980s and starred in such international films as the dreamy fantasy The Shout (1978), as an intriguing but self-absorbed artist, Jill Clayburgh's bearded and ultimately spurned lover in An Unmarried Woman (1978, Paul Mazursky), as Bette Midler's ruthless business manager The Rose (1979, Mark Rydell), Nijinsky (1980), Britannia Hospital (1984, Lindsay Anderson) and as Claudius in Hamlet (1990, Franco Zeffirelli), which starred Mel Gibson. Bryan McFarlane writes in Encyclopedia of British Cinema that „Bates went from strength to strength, even in films given the brush-off by the public: for example, the transferred stage successes, Butley (1973, Harold Pinter) and In Celebration (1974, Lindsay Anderson), or the undervalued Return of the Soldier (1982, Alan Bridges).“ On television, his parts ranged from classic roles such as 1978's The Mayor of Casterbridge (his favourite role he said), A Voyage Around My Father (1982), An Englishman Abroad (1983, John Schlesinger) witty and painful as Guy Burgess and Pack of Lies (1987) in which he played a Russian spy. He continued working in film and television in the 1990s, though most of his roles in this era were low-key.
In 2001, Alan Bates joined an all-star cast in Robert Altman's critically acclaimed period drama and murder mystery Gosford Park, in which he played the butler Jennings bordering on breakdown; a fascist who plots to bomb a Super Bowl game in the thriller The Sum of All Fears (2002); and a mad scientist who foretells disaster in The Mothman Prophecies (2002).T he rumpled charm of his youth had weathered into a softer but still attractive (and still rumpled) maturity. He later played Antonius Agrippa in the 2004 TV film Spartacus but died before it debuted. The film was dedicated to his memory and that of writer Howard Fast, who wrote the original novel that inspired the film Spartacus by Stanley Kubrick. Bates was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1996 and was knighted in 2003. He was an Associate Member of RADA and was a patron of The Actors Centre, Covent Garden, London from 1994 until his death in 2003. He won several theatre awards, including twice the Tony for Best Actor: in 1972 for Butley and in 2002 for Fortune's Fool,' Ivan Turgenev's examination of 19th-century country life in Russia. Bates was married to actress and model Victoria Ward from 1970 until her death from a wasting disease in 1992. They had twin sons born in November 1970, the actors Benedick Bates and Tristan Bates. Tristan died following an asthma attack in 1990. In the later years of his life, Bates' companion was his lifelong friend, actress Joanna Pettet, his co-star in the 1964 Broadway play Poor Richard. They divided their time between New York and London. Bates had many relationships with men, including those with actors Nickolas Grace and Peter Wyngarde, and Olympic skater John Curry. These were detailed in his posthumous biography, Otherwise Engaged by Donald Spoto. Alan Bates died of pancreatic cancer in London in 2003. Sir Alan and his family set up the Tristan Bates Theatre at the Actors' Centre in Covent Garden, in memory of his son, Tristan, who died at the age of 19. Tristan's twin brother, Benedick, is a vice director.

"Edgefield History
At Edgefield, during its seven-decade run as a poor farm, a remarkable array of personalities congregated under its roof: sea captains, captains of industry, school teachers, ministers, musicians, loggers, nurses, home builders, homemakers, former slaves and slave owners. There were Germans, Italians, Japanese, Chinese, Native Americans, African Americans; Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, and Buddhist. Frankie of "Frankie and Johnny" notoriety was there. The nephew of celebrated Confederate General Stonewall Jackson surpassed age 100 while at Edgefield. The one common thread among them was, at one time (and perhaps others) in their lives, each needed a "leg up."
Many of the residents, or inmates as they originally were called, supplied the labor for the 300+-acre farm. Overseen by a succession of well-seasoned, college-educated farm supervisors, Edgefield was a model of agricultural efficiency and production. The fruit, vegetables, dairy, hogs, and poultry raised on property was sufficient for feeding the population at the poor farm, as well as the county hospital and jail. Many years, surplus quantities were canned and sold on the open market.
Perhaps the greatest challenge for the farm supervisor was maintaining an adequate and capable labor force. Field "workers" were constantly coming and going and of course none were hired for their farming expertise. Outside labor gangs were periodically contracted-farm students, prisoners, prisoners of war, even some of Oregon's first Braceros (migrant workers from Mexico)¬-to supplement the on-site force.
The Great Depression was one notable period when the labor supply was not an issue. In the early 1930s, when so many people needed "legs up," Edgefield's population swelled to over 600, nearly double its normal number. Closets were converted and residents put three or more to a room in an ongoing effort to accommodate the great demand. The poor farm's basement quickly emerged as a veritable bazaar made up of booths operated by the legions of unemployed craftsmen and artisans living upstairs. The pool of talent and services available in those basement booths drew faithful patronage from Portland customers.
In the 1940s, when World War II put Americans back to work, Edgefield's population shrank considerably, and those who remained were many Depression-era residents who had number of residents who had reached an advanced age or state of incapacity to prevent their departures. To better suit these needs, in the Post War years, Edgefield took on more of a role of a nursing home and rehabilitation center, though the farm operation continued through the 1960s.
In the 1970s, Edgefield saw fewer incoming patients as private nursing homes and in-home care became more accessible with the rise of Welfare and Medicaid. A shrinking population and a complex of aging buildings in need of daunting repairs forced the decision to close the old poor farm. In April 1982, the last patients were relocated and the place was locked up, though not too securely.
For the remainder of the 1980s, the elements and vandals¬-mostly bored teenagers¬-wreaked havoc on the property. Burst pipes sent water everywhere, windows were broken, every surface was spray painted with graffiti, and everything not bolted down was stolen. The place that for decades had been a refuge for thousands of needy souls was now a liability to the county. Arrangements to demolish the building were put in place.
It would have happened, too, if it weren't for those pesky Troutdale Historical Society folks who decried such a move a "foul and unjust fate!" These courageous and resolute history-minded folks waged a five-year fight to save. Once victory was theirs, however, the bigger battle began: Who wants an old poor farm, anyway? A listing with a New York auction house prompted exactly no bids.
Enter brothers and Portland sons, Mike and Brian McMenamin. Amongst the ruins of Edgefield they saw a fabled gathering spot, a village populated by artists, artisans, gardeners, craftspeople, musicians, and folks from surrounding communities. The people holding the purse strings didn't see it.
General confusion reigned amongst the moneylenders. They felt Mike and Brian's proposal was a somewhat vague and decidedly different direction for the brothers, who to that point had opened a handful of neighborhood pubs in the Portland area. By 1990, though, the pair had developed a pretty good sense about the philosophy and verse of pubs, having opened their first in 1974.
On their journey of discovery, the brothers' definition and expectations of a pub broadened. At the absolute core is a welcoming gathering spot for people of all ages. It needn't depend on trendy décor; rather the people who have gathered and their conversations create the finest atmosphere (though, good music, good beer and good food often will enhance the experience). From this core, radiated such new rays as breweries, movie theaters, lodging rooms, artwork and history. But all this proved to be just a foundation for what a pub could be.
Braced with some experience, brimming with ideas and enthusiasm, and given a proverbial blank canvas with Edgefield, all that was needed was financing. The money finally came when two separate banks agreed to loan the brothers enough to accomplish the first stage. When (if?) that was completed, additional funding would be forthcoming. WaHoo!
First came the winery, in 1990. The following year saw the opening of a brewery, and the Power Station pub, movie theater and McMenamins first venture into lodging: eight rooms. Through word of mouth and minimal advertising, people started to come-despite the property's then remote location on a county road, 16 miles distant from the company's Portland customer base.
And the people came, the McMenamins' faithful, disciples of the then-raging Microbrew Revolution. They were curious about this big new adventure, tolerant of the tumble down condition of the rest of the property, and thirsty for a good brew!
This initial spurt of success allowed the adventure to continue: renovation of the main lodge into hotel rooms, specialty bars, a fine dining restaurant, and inventive event spaces. Also, wondrous gardens, artisans shops, concerts, big and small, and golf.
Every salvageable building, shed, and outbuilding of the old poor farm that could be found beneath the rampant wild blackberries was saved. The mechanics facility became a festive event space called Blackberry Hall. The root cellar-turned stable found new life as the Distillery and clubhouse for the golf course. The delousing shed was reborn as the Black Rabbit House bar. Even the poor farm incinerator got a creative transformation into the Little Red Shed, prototype of McMenamins' long line of small bars to follow.
A blending of art and history has become another of the property's attractions, another McMenamins' first that germinated at Edgefield. A team of more than a dozen artists was turned loose on the place, armed with tales and photos of the poor farm, its residents, and the surrounding area, with the directive to celebrate the rich past while doing away with the property's institutional feel. Now, it's hard to find a surface not enlivened by an artistic flourish and nod to the past.
McMenamins Edgefield continues its emergence as a pub of a most delightfully broadened definition, a village of artisans and publicans. The ever-evolving mélange of personalities, events, landscape and architecture makes for a truly extraordinary setting, inseparable from its poor farm past, and soon to be augmented by new lodging rooms in the 1962 county jail facility, and who knows, maybe a 360-degree bar in the old farm silo."
I attended a church sale today and found a basket of vintage booklets, mainly cooking. It goes without saying that I bought nearly all of them. This is one of my favorites.
Trapped train passengers drew comfort from each other
HIGASHI-MATSUSHIMA, Miyagi Prefecture--Setsuko Shibuya cheated death by a whisker.
The 61-year-old homemaker was on a train bound for Ishinomaki, a city north of Sendai, when she felt the first jolt of the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The magnitude-9.0 temblor caused the train to sway violently. Minutes earlier, it had departed from Nobiru Station on the JR Senseki Line, which hugs the coastline only 700 meters away.
"The swaying was so strong that I thought the train would flip over," said Shibuya, a resident of Higashi-Matsushima. "It also felt like that the train was being tugged up from above."
The train operator and the conductor urged passengers to remain calm, after they began to shout and whimper with fear. When a thundering roar was heard coming from the sea, passengers saw a wall of water approaching.
The enormous wave engulfed the area.
Fearing the tsunami would swallow the train, Shibuya could not stop shaking. From the window, she saw people being carried away by the waves. Some men inside the train managed to grab hold of a man in his 70s clutching onto a piece of roof in the raging torrent.
A male caregiver who was a passenger looked after him.
As night fell, temperatures reached freezing and it began to snow. To keep the chill out, passengers huddled in one car throughout the night, sharing scarfs and disposable hand warmers. Offering words of encouragement to comfort each other, they shared their box lunches.
They fashioned bed for those who they had plucked from the waves with padded cushions from the train seats.
When the water receded the following afternoon, the passengers formed pairs of a younger person with a senior citizen, to walk to a nearby shelter under the guidance of train staff.
Shibuya could not contact either her husband, 63, or her daughter, 24, until Monday, when the family was finally reunited at a shelter.
"I would have not made it if the quake had hit when the train was at the station because it is so near the sea," Shibuya said, her eyes clouding in tears.
Nobiru Station was the closest train station to the beach, a local summer resort, and is only a few meters above sea level.
The tsunami demolished the station.
While Shibuya's train emerged relatively unscathed from the disaster, another one that left the station in the opposite direction around the same time didn't.
The first two cars of that train derailed and flipped sideways. The remaining cars were carried away by the tsunami and pushed along at almost 90 degrees to the tracks, bending the train into a V configuration.
The inside of the cars were covered with mud and other debris. Seats were wrenched out and tossed around carriages.
Marks on the wall showed that the tsunami was reached 1.2 meters high.
The fate of the passengers remains unknown.

a photo of a photo... (l.to r.) Mignon Doran, Lisa Clapp, Iris Shreve, Adron Doran...
In 1970, when I was a sophomore in high school, Lisa Clapp and I got the chance to visit Morehead State University for a Kentucky Future Homemakers of America conference. Meeting President and Mrs. Adron Doran was a very special treat for both of us.
This newspaper photo was accompanied by a bit of Western Kentucky trivia explaining that both of our fathers were students and athletes at Wingo High School while Dr. Doran was principal and coach and Mrs. Doran was a teacher. Lisa's father was also the Kentucky state representative from the 3rd District, the same area Dr.Doran represented for four terms.
My father always spoke very highly of Dr. Doran and his wife. After meeting them myself, I too was truly impressed by their genuine kindness. They spent alot of time with us that afternoon and showed us around like royalty. It was big-time for a 15 year-old far away from home (all the way across the great commonwealth of Kentucky)!
So fun revisiting old memories as I sort through all the things I have pack-ratted all these years... lol
Yesterday I was in Suzy Homemaker mode and I whipped up what I could out of the shelves, and here's what I had as of bedtime:
1 loaf wheat bread
1 loaf oatmeal applesauce bread
1 pone of maple cornbread
28 whole wheat banana chocolate chip muffins (not quite that many now)
7 half pints of muscadine jelly
2 pints of cherry freezer jam
1 pint of marinara sauce
1 quart of tomato juice
Fudge and peanut butter fudge on the way.
Zucchini bread still to come - but I'm out of eggs.

This house was designed by my grandfather, R. Duane Conner, in 1957 as part of the Electri-Living program sponsored by the now-defunct Living For Young Homemakers magazine. Although it doesn't look like much from the outside, this open floor-plan home is filled with unaltered mid-century architectural detail and charm. See other photos of interior of house.
Originally, a concrete brick wall of round circles outlined the front of the house where the fence is now.
