‘Dead Giveaway’ play offers Find holiday treasures in Seaside murder, thrills and suspense NEHALEM — The Riverbend Players will present a suspenseful thriller of a play this fall. “Dead Giveaway” by Mary Orr and Reginald Denham invites the audience to participate in a thriller — with a glimmer of suspense. The story opens with two people robbing a service station and accidentally killing the proprietor in the melee. In a state of panic, they take the dead body with them and hide out in the vacant summer house of a U.S. senator. To their surprise, the senator unexpectedly shows up with a newly acquired lady friend. Object: tryst. Result: blackmail. Highway robbery soon turns into a case of political intrigue, as the playwrights show how immorality is not the sole purview of people in the upper or lower class. Directed by Sedona Torres, with assistant director Mike Sims and producer Tom Cocklin, “Dead Give-

Seasonal farce hits River City Playhouse Peninsula Players to present ‘The Ramplings’ play

Irish race car driver Hector Rampling, played by Barry Sears, seeks an elusive bottle of Irish whisky. His snobbish wife, Clarice, played by Rita Smith, wants to lay a wreath on her mother’s grave on this ﬁrst anniversary of her death in an automobile accident, which Clarice blames on Hector. Their marriage moves from rocky to blissful during their strange stay at this magical Maine inn. The only other guest at the inn also has plans for that bottle of whisky: She thinks it will coax her husband — who also died exactly a year ago— from his grave. Philosophical innkeeper Arden Pelfrey,

ILWACO, Wash. — The Peninsula Players will present Stephen Levi’s play “The Ramplings,” a metaphysical farce in two acts, this November. The curtain will rise at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Nov. 11, 12, 18 and 19 and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13 and 20 at the River City Playhouse, located at 127 S.E. Lake St. Set on a snowy Christmas Eve in the lobby of the Singapore Inn in Singapore, Maine, nothing is as it appears, yet everything is as it should be.

ART ON THE EDGE

DAWN STETZEL DERIVES HER ARTWORK AND INSPIRATION FROM HER ENVIRONMENT

“

By DWIGHT CASWELL

“There can be a grace to living on the edge, teetering on the brink, standing on shifting ground,” says artist Dawn Stetzel. “This place of unease is a place of change, and its discomfort can spur innovation.” Stetzel was one of two artists selected by a jury of arts and environmental experts to participate in the inaugural Coastal Oregon Artist Residency, a program developed jointly by Astoria Visual Artists and Recology Western Oregon, the local trash and recycling company. Her task: to wander the Astoria Transfer Station and Recycling Area in search of materials with which to create sculpture in a studio space provided by Recology. The results, shown last month at a temporary Underground Gallery in downtown Astoria, included a “ﬂoathouse,” a survival suit with backpack ladder, and the high point of the show, her “Wind Assisted Chair.” She is currently working on a life raft made entirely of discarded coolers. Stetzel is an anomaly in her family. Her mother was “very creative and super supportive,” she says, “but I had no example or role model for what I was doing.” She graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth with a Master of Fine Art, but how did she get from there to a pile of trash in Clatsop County? There were a lot of stops along the way, including shows and residencies in North Carolina, Texas, Brazil, Australia, China, the Sou’wester Lodge in Seaview, Washington, and points between. “I was looking for my connection between art and science,” Stetzel says. “I was connected

to ethnobotony” — the study of the relationship between humans and plants.“I’ve always looked at plants and the natural world for my work, and I’ve found materials for my work in the natural world.” In an odd way the, let’s be frank, the dump was a logical extension of this. “In a general way,” she says, “I was looking for a connection to my environment, and to live

lightly in a place. It makes sense to use things that have been left behind.” As for her work in the AVA show, “I had no grand vision for the show. I was just trying to do the best work I could do at the time,” she says. Stetzel’s work, derived from her environment, changes as the environment does. “What comes out is what I care about at the

time,” she says. Today she is living in a place that expects a tsunami and her work reflects, “what it’s like to live here, where there’s always a threat, a sense of danger.” Stetzel’s work is a kind of conversation she is having with herself, her environment, and the people who see her work. She says, “I’m most interested in hearing visceral responses or stories that come from seeing my work. The input of viewers about how it reads helps me to grow as an artist and as a human.” “The relationships we have

with each other and our environment are not perfect. This is a point of sadness,” the artist says, “but I have a hopeful acceptance of this tenuousness.” Her creations are both whimsical comments on society and serious observations about humanity and both natural and manmade worlds: She wishes for “a reconnect with each other and the environment that we desperately need in order to survive.” “I hope that there is universality in the work,” Dawn Stetzel says. “I can sense it, and I hope that viewers will show that universality in how they respond.”

Olympic gold medalist to share memoir Carolyn Wood to recount her ‘tough girl’ days in the past and present CANNON BEACH — Not many high school freshmen can say they are an Olympic medalist. Carolyn Wood could. She was a high school freshman at Beaverton High School when she won a gold medal in swimming at the l960 Summer Olympics in Rome. Wood will share her memoir, “Tough Girl: An Olympian’s Journey,” as the November speaker at the Cannon Beach Library’s Northwest Author Series. The talk will take place at the library at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12. The event is free and open to the public. “Tough Girl” recounts two journeys separated by 52 years. The book opens as 65-year old Wood decides to walk the Camino de Santiago in hopes of reawakening the youthful determination and resilience that took her on the

road to Rome and gold at the 1960 Olympics. What she encounters along both paths — fear, fatigue, pain and loss — are well worth the rewards of discovery. Wood weaves into her tale her adult experiences of healing after losing her life partner, and she provides a satisfying reflection on what makes a tough girl press on through pain, loss and disappointment all the way to triumph. Born and raised in Portland, Wood raced nationally and internation-

ally for three more years after her gold medal before attending the University of Oregon. After graduation in 1967, Wood began a 35year career teaching high school English, first at her alma mater, then at Lake Oswego, Glencoe and Wilson high schools. During that time she earned a master degree in social work and a master’s of education from Portland State University. A public speaker since high school, Wood has

been a national spokesperson, given keynote addresses, graduation speeches and travel lectures. Outside the classroom she has taught writing workshops to all ages. Even though she remains rooted in Oregon, her journeys have taken her far: working as a governess for the family of Robert Kennedy the year after the senator’s death, backpacking through the Oregon and Washington Cascades, exploring Europe, Africa and Asia, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, and trekking through the Himalayas and Alps. Since retirement, Wood has done volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity International, Medical Teams Northwest, Wilderness Volunteers, and at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility. These days her explorations also include yoga and meditation as well as gardening and bee keeping. She started writing her memoir, “Tough Girl: An Olympian’s Journey,” in 2010, and it is her first book.

Hear the country music of Loretta Lynn ASTORIA — A group of Oregon musicians paying tribute to country music legend Loretta Lynn will make a stop in Astoria during their fall tour of the Oregon Coast. Fronted by Portland folk-country songstress Mary Rondthaler, the fivepiece band will perform “Hey Loretta!” —two 45-minute sets featuring the songs of Lynn at Clastop Community College’s Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are $15 and are available in advance at the Rusty Cup, located at 1213 Commercial St., and online at www.brownpapertickets.com Also known as the Coal Miner’s Daughter, Lynn

wrote many of her own songs and has been dubbed the Queen of Country Music throughout her five-decade career. In 1972, she was the first woman to be nominated and named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association. She is the only woman to have won the title of CMA Artist of the Decade for the ’70s. Rondthaler has spent many years honing her craft around the Portland music scene. She has performed and recorded with George Chudacoff, Succotash, The Sagebrush Sisters and The Rocky Butte Wranglers. She can be seen regularly singing country and western songs with the Wranglers at nightclubs around the Northwest, as well as with The Sagebrush Sisters, a three-

piece cowgirl swing band. Rondthaler is known for her knack of picking great unknown songs from the repertoires of many legendary country music artists. The band features three graduates of Oregon State University who studied music under Professor Neal Grandstaff, widely known for his lifelong contribution to music performance and education. They are Justin Schepige on bass, Tommy Brownson on drums and Erik Crew on lead guitar. Joining them on pedal steel guitar will be veteran Nashville touring pro and session player Gary Thorsen, who toured with Lynn’s twin daughters, The Lynns. He has worked for many other country music greats, including Tanya Tucker.

donations are encouraged. The North Oregon Coast Symphony is a group of local musicians and volunteers dedicated to providing live classical music to the North Oregon coastal region. The ensemble of 24 local musicians, under the direction of conductor Cory Pederson, will perform portions of Aaron Copland’s Pulitzer-prize winning work “Appalachian Spring.” This

composition helped establish a recognizable voice for American classical music, its archetypal sound evoking the vast American heartland. “Quiet City,” another of Copland’s compositions, will also be on the program. This piece was conceived around the idea of a young trumpet player who imagined the night thoughts of many different people in a great city and expressed

them through his playing. Along with Copland’s works, Norman Leyden’s composition “Serenade for String Orchestra” and Jay Ungar’s “Ashokan Farewell” will further explore the themes of optimism, hope and freedom. Small ensemble selections will be performed too. The symphony invites all ages to these family-friendly concerts held in an atmosphere of peace and harmony. The symphony is looking for string players. If you play violin, viola, cello or string bass and are interested in rehearsing and performing in a local ensemble, contact Pederson at 503-836-2198 or nocscory@gmail.com. If you would like to volunteer in any capacity, call Nancy Giasson at 630-525-0566. For more information, visit www.NorthOregonCoastSymphony.org

For more information, call 360-642-2542. In the winter of 2011, band leader Ryan Sollee (who is also the frontman for the Builders and the Butchers) was asked to write the score for a musical adaptation of “Woyzeck” by Georg Büchner. He incorporated the talent of Joel Andrew, Cristina Cano, Amanda

Lawrence, and Paul Seeley to musically paint the haunting story of a man driven to madness — and the tale of a dinosaur that evolves into an albatross. The group decided they were too in love to leave each other after the play was over. From then on, they were Albatross, a band formed from a pet project. The band performs indie folk, dark Americana and murder ballads with theatrical strings, all ingrained with storytelling.

I am currently working mostly with abstract ideas concentrating on color and value.” Come meet and talk with the artists. Refreshments will be served. 5.

The word “nocturne” did not enter the English language until the early-19th century, meaning a short musical composition of a gentle character reminiscent of the night or a picture of a night scene. Astoria’s RiverSea Gallery has chosen “Nocturne” as the theme of its November show, opening Saturday, Nov. 12, which presents up to three paintings each from 13 regional artists. Jeannine Grafton, gallery director, deﬁnes the theme as, “those magical moments when daylight transitions into night. Twilight, the blue hour, the gloaming, vespers, eventide, are all terms that relate to the day giving way into the

Restaurant aims high with stylish atmosphere, globe-trotting menu Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

CARRUTHERS

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

In the year and a half since I became the Mouth, a few handfuls of restaurants have thrown open their doors. None have been as ambitious as Carruthers. Sure, there have been big buildouts (Pelican Pub) and innovative menus (Buttercup). But none have aimed so high simultaneously. Named for the historic building on 12th and Commercial streets, Carruthers is plunked in the dead center of the ever-revitalizing downtown Astoria. Kitty-corner to the Liberty Theater, the restaurant is a designer’s dream (one which, perhaps, reflects the historic theater, whose sign and aura twinkle through the windows). On show nights it’ll be the place to see and be seen. Like a hip hotel lobby with double-high ceilings, art deco — with clean, stark lines, icy, bold colors and ornate flourishes — rules the day. There is marble — real and faux — plus plenty of low-light sources, gargantuan gold-rimmed mirrors, delicate stemware and so on. It’s all about mood, and that mood invokes two things: high-society and metropolitan style. That there’s a cocktail named the Clark Gable says just about everything you need to know. OK, there are few more things you need to know: Carruthers, which opened in mid-August, is owned by the same folks as the respected and well-oiled Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro. But I digress: Clark Gable, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant. The sizable though hardly cavernous restaurant is divvied into three spaces — a dining room, including a potential communal table capable of seating parties greater than 10; a gleaming, titanic U-shaped bar with a few adjacent tall tables; and a lounge of burly, black leather couches and chairs clustered around a humming gas fireplace. While certainly reaching for a fanciful vibe of exclusivity and privilege (and indeed, peering out

the dining room’s large windows can feel like a portal to the class divide), Carruthers avoids feeling overly haughty, thanks mostly to a staff that’s down to earth and willing to laugh. That said, service and execution sometimes slip out of whack with the grand vision and high price point. The menu’s aspirations are broader than the tightly realized interior design. There are three classifications for entrées — Ocean, Pasture and Garden — as well as starters, soups and salads. There are flavors from Africa, Europe, America, Mexico and Asia. For a time I fretted about what to order — many things interested me, and I worried how I might get a wide-enough sample.”It’s really eclectic,” said one server of the menu. “So you have to keep coming back to try everything. And then in December everything changes.” The menu will continue to turnover every four months. A little more at ease, I wondered if there could be method to the varietal madness: that, as the North Coast lacks many regional cuisines, Carruthers could fill some of those holes.

But, then again, is an $18, Moroccan-spiced couscous plate really a hole we need filled? Piled in a pyramid — plating presentation is tantamount at Carruthers — the Moroccan Vegetable Sauté ($18) stacked the aforementioned couscous, chickpeas, figs, mustard greens, onions and a thick tomato sauce, all crowned with a poached egg and micro-greens. The Moroccan spices — coriander, turmeric, paprika and so on — both unified the dish and filled one of our region’s underrepresented profiles. The egg offered gooey protein, but there wasn’t enough. While healthy, lean and nourishing, I felt like I was eating hippie food from a fancy bowl. And had it been real hippie food — served, in my mind, from an imaginary cart — the portion would’ve been twice as large. The same bowl — like an upside-down UFO, with a big white rim for negative space — cupped the Blackened Scallops ($25). The trio sat in the center, surrounded by smoked, white cheddar grits whose pungent cheesiness made me sit up straight. Over were laid a few spears

of asparagus, grilled over a flame, inciting barbecue’s char. The large scallops were blackened on the edge and supple. They were topped with pickled chanterelles and a truffle oil black garlic relish, which married an earthy richness to the ocean kiss. With the scallops, Carruthers hit its marks — refined, deep, exquisite and rich. I too enjoyed the Creole Gumbo Chowder ($6 cup), which effectively crossed chowder and gumbo. It was creamy, viscous and hearty, sparked with cotija cheese crumbles. When it comes to rewriting the menu, the chowder should remain. The Carruthers Salad ($7 half), though, needs work. It was multi-faceted, though almost confusingly so. Bites alternated between sweet and salty, though not in any meaningful — or seemingly intended — conversation. It was like laundry that hadn’t been separated. The ingredients, however — like avocado, roasted squash and dried blueberries — seemed plucked from a fine wardrobe. From my first visit I stared at the menu’s Rack of Lamb with a gimlet eye. When I finally got it, though,

I was let down. While again with a nice, crusty char and tender center, the two chops were hardly above room temperature. Ringed with mint chimichurri, apricot jam, candied citrus fennel and stood up over a pile of cheesy, brown-rice-like sage farro, I found the sweetness unbalanced. The accompaniment could’ve — and probably should’ve — provided counterpoint. Without question, though, the lamb should’ve been hotter. And at $29, Carruthers’ price zenith, you expect and deserve an excellence that the lamb didn’t deliver. Perhaps that’s the pitfall of such an involved, globe-trotting menu — there’s just so much the kitchen has to pay attention to and get ever-so-right. Indeed, Carruthers set its own bar high. There’s no reason to believe that, upon future menu revisions, the restaurant may begin to clear it with finesse. But for now, the landing of its moon shot has been a little bumpy.

Women can pick up tips from travel agent, author Beach Books hosts Marica Lynn Miller at Lunch in the Loft SEASIDE —When travel professional Marcia Lynn Miller began her career as a travel agent in 1984, there was no Internet. No videos for travelers to view about where to stay or what to do. No magazines to read up on popular destinations, and no user rating systems to guide booking decisions. Anyone planning a trip abroad simply called up travel agents who alone had the tools and know-how to book foreign destinations and help clients through distant emergencies. Even today, savvy travelers find it challenging to stay current with frequently changing airport security and other rules, as well as other small stuff that can 1116 Commercial Astoria, OR ﬁnnware.com

The Woman’s Guide to Great Travel” is a comprehensive collection of road-tested tips, tricks and hints — based on her own journeys to over 70 countries — to improve

the travel experience of any woman traveler. Miller will share her book, travel experiences and tips at Beach Book’s next Lunch in the Loft event, set for noon Thursday, Nov. 17. There will also be some travel clothes by B. Boutique on display, and Miller will show attendees the best way to pack them.

The $30 fee for Lunch in the Loft includes a catered lunch and a signed copy of “You Go Girls.” RSVP to Beach Books by calling 503738-3500. The independent bookstore is located at 616 Broadway. Unlike the plethora of “guidebooks” focused on specific cities and countries, Miller’s handy 226-page trade paperback is literally packed with her hard-earned tips, insights and words of caution. She tells you exactly what you need to know as

she guides readers through every stage of the journey, with candid recommendations throughout on not what brand to buy but what type of product or solution works best under the most difficult of situations — whether it’s walking shoes, handbags, tote bags, luggage, makeup, cameras and more. Readers will also find plenty to chuckle over as the author tackles such delicate subjects as bathroom facilities in parts of Asia, where “you are likely at some time to find a hole in the floor with a place to put your seat while you squat. Believe me, on such occasions,

You don’t have to get hit by

LIGHTNING to understand

lifting a skirt is much easier than managing your pants around your ankles. Plan your wardrobe accordingly.” Or her detailed instructions on the proper use of the “oft misunderstood bidet” and inventive ways to use the common cotton bandanna. Most important, Miller discloses the secret to how she is able to travel with so few clothes, yet look fresh and fashionable every step of the way. (Hint: “Choose a neutral color or two. Add one or two accent colors. Pack separates. Stay within a style family. Each bottom and each top must have at least two matches.”) Certified nationally by The Travel Institute, Miller became the first professional travel agent to specialize in women-only trips when she opened You Go Girls! Travel in 1999. Altogether, she has visited over 70 countries and escorted groups to far-flung destinations such as Cuba, India, Egypt, Thailand, Vietnam, Africa, Manchu Picchu, Israel and Antarctica on multiple occasions.

By THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

Thanksgiving is a day for celebrating, where we enjoy the company of friends, share delicious food, and reflect on our country’s history and traditions. Throughout this celebration, though, there is one linger-

ing thought that cannot be ignored: Tomorrow there will be leftovers. Will we eat pie for breakfast? Will there be turkey soup? Did we buy bread to make sandwiches? The answer should be yes. Every family has its own Thanksgiving traditions and recipes. But the next

THANKSGIVING SANDWICH Start to finish: 15 minutes Servings: Four Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon chopped sage 8 slices bread 3/4 cup Cranberry Sauce (recipe follows) 1 pound sliced turkey Lettuce, as needed

Sliced tomatoes Sliced crisp bacon Directions: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sage. To assemble, spread 4 of the slices of bread with the mayonnaise mixture, add a layer of cranberry sauce, and top with the turkey, lettuce, and tomato. Spread the remaining four slices of

day, homes across America are bound by a common ritual: the day-after turkey sandwich. And while our recipe has all of the classic components (plus bacon!), the beauty of leftovers is that they can be personalized to suit your mood — and the contents of your refrigerator. Eventually, we all suffer bread with cranberry sauce and place on top of the turkey. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve.

Cranberry Sauce

Makes 1 1/4 cups Ingredients: 3/4 cups fresh cranberries 2 tablespoons sugar 1/2 cup water 2 teaspoons grated orange zest

from turkey and mashed potato fatigue. Luckily, all it takes is a few minutes and a little bit of creativity to transform these ingredients into something fresh. Make a gourmet brunch at home by chopping turkey, roasted veggies, and stuffing; browning it in a skillet; and serving with a fried egg.

Directions: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil and whisk to break up the cranberries. Cook the mixture until the cranberries burst and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the zest. Cool completely before serving.

Replace mashed potatoes with this cauliflower puree By MELISSA D’ARABIAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cauliflower entered the healthy food scene with a bang a few years ago as a clever solution to our lowcarb-seeking starch-loving woes. And with good reason: Cauliflower is incredibly versatile and can be used to replace simple carbs in endless recipes — like cauliflower versions of risotto, pizza crust and couscous. While health-conscious folks will likely continue to debate the benefits and shortfalls of low-carb-highfat diets that probably are responsible for mainstreaming these cauliflower swaps, we can all agree that adding more cruciferous vegetables into our diet is a good thing. Cauliflower is super low in calories — about 25 calories per cup — and is a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, B6, folate and some minerals. Because of the fiber

and protein, it’s also a filling vegetable, which means if you make a stir-fry using cauliflower instead of rice, you’ll actually be satisfied. Mashed or pureed cauliflower may be the most celebrated swap of all, giving low-carb eaters an alternative to mashed potatoes. The drawback to many cauliflower puree recipes is two-fold: Often they rely on high quantities of butter or cream for flavor and texture. Followers of a ketonic or super-low-carb diet may be fine with high-fat, but the resulting calorie counts might scare off the average eater. The second problem is that a cauliflower puree is looser than mashed potatoes; it’s nearly impossible to make a dent with a gravy ladle that will hold up. My trick is simple, but it solves both problems: silken tofu. Just a little bit of firm silken tofu blended up into the puree adds low-cal

PERFECT WHIPPED CAULIFLOWER PUREE Start to finish: 25 min. Servings: 6 Ingredients: 1 large head of cauliflower (or 2 small heads) 3 cloves garlic, smashed 4 ounces firm lite silken tofu (1/3 of a 12-oz carton) 1 tablespoon butter 1/4 cup chicken broth 3 tablespoons half and half (or whole milk) Salt and pepper Directions: Core the cauliflower creaminess (along with a little chicken stock) and just enough much-needed thickening to avoid the soupy puree that can easily happen. With the tofu, you will only need a tiny bit of high-fat goodies like butter and milk to give a luscious

and cut into florets and boil (or steam) with the garlic until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and set aside. Place the tofu into a food processor and process until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, garlic, butter, broth and half and half, and process until very creamy, about one minute. Add more broth if needed. Season with salt and pepper and serve. creaminess the entire family will love. Once you master the basic recipe, feel free to tweak by adding spices like smoked paprika, herbs or, if you are feeling decadent, top the puree with a little cheese and bacon and make a twicebaked “potato” casserole.

TREASURE ALLEY SUBMITTED PHOTO

Try making this whiskey, brandy, cranberry cider — or head to Pickled Fish and raise a glass while helping out a good cause.

By RYAN HUME

This November, the month of giving thanks, there are plenty of unique ways to give back to your community, including volunteering your time and energy at the North Coast Food Web, the Harbor or many other goodwill organizations working to improve our region. There will be plenty of can drives arriving during the holiday season, and one simple everyday contribution you can make is to bring your own reusable bag to the Astoria Co-op, get a bean at the checkout counter and donate a nickel to a rotating number of causes. Of course, for my money, one of the most delicious and delightful ways to give back to the community is to partake in Pickled Fish’s Cocktails for a Cause program. Every month the bar staff offers up an off-menu cocktail and pairs it with a worthwhile organization, which receives 50 percent of every $10 purchase. Leave it up to one of the most innovative restaurants and bars on the Long Beach

Peninsula to decide that you can still do some good even when you are getting your drink on. This month’s drink, a warm cranberry punch they are calling Treasure Alley, is soothing, seasonally appropriate and may best be served turkey adjacent. I mean, why eat cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving when you can get cranberry sauced? The name is a combination of one of the Long Beach Peninsula’s cranberry farms, Starvation Alley, which is providing the cranberry components of the beverage, and this month’s recipient of sales, the Treasure Our Teens Stocking Project, part of the Families Helping Families ministry run through Pacific Bible Church in Ilwaco, Washington. The program is organized by Shari Allen Kokesh and her husband, Matt Kokesh, a cook at the Pickled Fish, when Allen Kokesh noticed, according to the Chinook Observer, that there were many area holiday drives that benefited families and young children in need, but none that supported teenagers. Treasure

Our Teens Stocking Project aims to supply underserved teens in Ilwaco with necessary items, like personal hygiene products, hats and scarves, all delivered in a festive holiday stocking. Certainly a worthwhile cause and something worth raising a glass to! Ingredients 1.5 ounces Old Overholt or another rye whiskey 1/2 ounce Calvados apple brandy 1/2 ounce Starvation Alley Cranberry Juice R.W. Knudsen Apple Cider A few whole cranberries Directions Pour the rye, Calvados and cranberry juice into a glass cocktail mug while you heat the apple cider on the stovetop or in the microwave. Once the cider is steaming hot, top off the mug with the warm cider and garnish with a few whole cranberries. —Recipe courtesy of Matt Lessnau, bar manager at Pickled Fish.
