Kiggins Theatre Announces Noir Film Series in November Starting Nov. 14, the Kiggins Theatre and Niche Wine Bar & Bistro in downtown Vancouver will present a thrilling new film series pairing film noir classics with a pre-show tasting featuring wines in- fluenced by the films. Niche proprietor Leah Jackson will be on hand to discuss the wines which will also be able to be pur- chased during the movie, and by the bottle as custom- ers leave. Individual film tickets are $10 (which include the tasting). An advance package is also available which includes all three film tickets and a collectible Niche stemless wine glass (which will also save $1 per pour on the night of shows) for $30. Kicking off the series on November 14th is one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous films, the legendary “Notorious” Starring Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman and set against a background of spies and counter- spies in post WWII South America, “Notorious” is also one of film histories greatest love stories. “No- torious’” pre-show tasting will include three South American Pinots. The rarely seen “Christmas Holiday” shows on De- cember 12th and stars two actors better known for light-hearted musicals than Noir, Singin’ in the Rain’s Gene Kelly and First Love’s Deanna Durbin. Directed by the prolific Robert Sidmak (The Killers, Criss Cross, The Crimson Pirate) “Holiday” is the sto- ry of Abigail Manette (Durbin) a loose woman who owns a sleazy nightclub and is involved with the L.A. underworld. Her husband (Kelly) is in the “big house” for life for murder and Abigail thinks he’s safely out of the picture, until he escapes on a jealous warpath to find her and accuse her of infidelity. This night’s screening will be preceded by a tasting of three dif- ferent Californian Pinot Noir. We wrap our first edition of Noir Nights on January 9th with the 1944 Howard Hawks classic “To Have or Have Not.” Humphrey Bogart stars as American ex- patriate Harry Morgan who agrees to help transport a French Resistance leader and his beautiful wife to Martinique while romancing a sexy lounge singer (newcomer Lauren Bacall). This screening will be proceeded by a tasting of a trio of Champagnes and Sparkling wines. Seattle News Briefs Pacific Northwest Turns in More Than 16 Tons at Latest National Drug Takeback Day Six years after the U.S. Drug Enforcement Admin- istration (DEA) launched its National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, Americans continue to turn out in large numbers to rid their homes of unused med- ications, including controlled prescription drugs (CPDs) such as painkillers, tranquilizers, and stimu- lants. The Pacific Northwest (PNW) made another great haul in DEA’s 12th National Drug Take Back Day on October 22, 2016, and turned in 32,376 pounds (16.2 tons) of expired, unused and unwanted prescription medications. This was the third largest for the PNW since the inception of the Drug Take Back Day. When the results of the 12 DEA Take Back Days for the PNW are combined, the DEA and its state, local, and trib- al law-enforcement and community partners have removed over 332,704 pounds (166.4 tons) of medica- tion from circulation. Washington State had the second largest collection to date and Washington and Idaho surpassed last April’s collection. The following are the results bro- ken down by state: • Washington -- 19,179 pounds (9.6 tons) removed from circulation. • Idaho -- 3,190 pounds (1.6 tons) removed from circu- lation. • Oregon -- 7,933 pounds (4.0 tons) removed from cir- culation. • Alaska -- 2,074 pounds (1.0 ton) removed from circu- lation. Collection sites nationwide resulted in the public turning in 731,269 pounds--almost 366 tons--of med- ication to DEA and more than 4,000 of its community partners at almost 5,200 collection sites. Over the life of the program, 7.1 million pounds (more than 3,500 tons) of prescription drugs have been removed from medicine cabinets, kitchen drawers, and nightstands by citizens around the country.
