Siuslaw News gathers
recipes for new collection
Siuslaw News has been the
region’s newspaper for 128
years. In that time, restaurants
have come and gone, trades
have shifted and the area’s
demographics have changed,
but the area’s taste for fresh
seafood, locally grown pro-
duce and handcrafted meals
remains.
In 2018, Siuslaw News
wants to showcase some of
those recipes in a new collec-
tion. This is a chance for com-
munity members to submit
recipes for entrées, appetizers,
soups, cocktails, side dishes
and more.
People are encouraged to
share recipes of their favorite
local and regional cuisine,
recipes handed down from
family, the best use of season-
al produce and even tips on
where to find foraged foods.
Businesses and restaurants
may also submit their famous
or unforgettable recipes.
Once complete, this bound
collection will be available for
sale at the Siuslaw News.
Deadline for Submission is
Thursday, Feb. 18.
Recipes should fit into one
of the following categories:
appetizers and beverages;
soups and salads; vegetables
and side dishes; main dishes;
breads and rolls; desserts;
cookies and candy; and “this
and that.”
For more information or to
fill out the recipe form, go to
thesiuslawnews.com/recipe-
collection.
In addition, Siuslaw News
is seeking volunteers to test
these recipe submissions.
If you have any questions or
would like to volunteer, call
Office Assistant Katie Libby at
541-902-3526.

“The Party”
By Robyn Harding
Sweet 16.
It’s an exciting coming-of-
age, a milestone and a rite of
passage. Jeff and Kim Sanders
plan on throwing a party for
their daughter, Hannah — a
good girl with excellent grades
and nice friends.
Rather than an extravagant,
indulgent affair, they invite four
girls over for pizza, cake,
movies and a sleepover.
What could possibly go
wrong?
But things do go wrong, hor-
rifically so, and Hannah’s party
quickly turns into the stuff of
nightmares. After a tragic acci-
dent occurs, Jeff and Kim’s
comfortable life in a wealthy
San Francisco suburb begins to
fall apart. In the ugly aftermath,
friends become enemies, dark
secrets are revealed in the
Sanders’ marriage, and the truth
about their perfect daughter,
Hannah, is revealed.
“The Party” takes us behind
the façade of the ideal family,
exposing the lies, betrayals, and
moral lapses that occur behind
closed doors — and the secrets
that children and parents keep

Blind Date with a Book
Are you ready to take part in
the library’s fifth-annual Blind
Date with a Book program?
For the adventurous reader
this program offers the opportu-
nity to let fate take a hand in
selecting what you read.
The program works like this.
Select a plainly wrapped book
from a selection of books at the
library. Read the book — or at
least make an honest and fair
attempt at doing so — then
return the book with a “blind
date” evaluation form.
The forms, besides being used
to recommend new and wonder-
ful books to readers, will also be
used for prize drawings.
The point is to take a risk and
expand your reading interests.
Sound fun?
The program starts Thursday,
Feb. 1 and books can be selected
up through Wednesday, Feb. 28.
The drawing will take place
on Thursday, March 15 allowing
readers time to finish and evalu-
ate those last blind dates.
Get Techy
Join a library staffer for some
techno help. Bring all your ques-
tions, or even your own device,
on Tuesday, Feb. 6, from 1:30 to
3 p.m. for an open computer lab.
Then on Tuesday, Feb. 27,
from 1:30 to 3 p.m., it’s all about
email.
The basics of setting up and
using an email account will be
discussed.
No pre-registration required,
just show up.
