G
ift buying, social gatherings
and hosting are tiresome tasks
during the holiday season.
Thats where the vast offerings
of Salem restaurants will save the day.
Dining options abound when a host
or hostess -- needs just a loaf of bread
for dinner, the entire pre-cooked
holiday dinner, take out soup and
sandwiches after shopping, or a sit-
down celebration.
In downtown Salem, Wild Pear
Restaurant and Catering offers options
for dine-in, take out and special holiday
orders. Though the food is a favorite for
downtown workers and visitors, many
come during the holiday season to see
the historic building at 372 State St.
decked out in its holiday nery.
We have great displays in here for
the holidays inside and out. It really
adds to the holiday spirit, said Cecilia
Ritter James, who has co-owned the
restaurant for 14 years with her
sister, Jessica Ritter.
Garlands, fresh wreaths and beaded
trees make lunch at the caf more
festive. Those who dine in are often
people from out-of-town to shop and
eat lunch downtown. But you dont have
to eat there if you would rather dine at
home in your robe and slippers.
Ritter James said, We are very take-
out friendly. Our whole menu can
be ordered for takeout. People
work long mall hours and take
dinner home. We get a lot of
lunchers and shoppers. We
have a great happy hour
3:30 p.m. to close.
She said the Wild Pears
most popular seasonal
offering is for people
who order ahead of
time for Thanksgiving. Its a complete
Thanksgiving dinner. You can order
different parts or all of it, with
reheating directions.
The Wild Pear has the menu available
online at the beginning of November at
wildpearcatering.com. If you just want
us to make your turkey gravy or the
whole meal with all the sides, we can do
that, she said. It is sold by the pint or
dozen, whatever the customer species.
For Christmas Eve dinner, the restaurant
does something similar, but with both
beef and turkey, and on a smaller scale.
To accommodate their catering
customers, the Wild Pear is open limited
hours 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday
through Saturday.
Also downtown, at 229 State St.,
Cascade Baking Co. has kept busy
with dine-in and take-out customers,
as well as specialty order-ahead
holiday fare.
Bakery co-owner, Stephen Perkins, said
he knows what brings customers back
every year at Christmas time.
Its our Christmas breads, from early
morning to late at night there is a
long line with people who
have ordered out
Christmas bread. It
never stops.

Let area restaurants help
make your holidays easier
Its a non-stop crazy event and we are
dead-dog tired by the 24th of December,
he added.
This year should prove no different, as
Perkins has planned to bake the traditional
German stollen, European nut loaf, Danish
julekage and Welsh bara brith. Year round,
Cascade also sells gluten-free bread baked
off site. Every year (gluten-free bread) just
gets more and more popular. We have a
dedicated facility for the baking, he added.
Perkins co-owns the bakery with Debra
Edwards. They encourage pre-orders for
holiday breads, which sell by the hundreds
and hundreds, Perkins said. See the menu
at www.cascadebaking.com
Take-home holiday faves dont stop with
bread, however. People love Cascades
baguettes that pull apart when served.
It looks like a corn cob, Perkins said.
Also, people call ahead for sweet rolls
and dinner rolls.
Even before those holiday orders come
in, Perkins said the bakery will be busier
with lunch and dinner take-out orders. The
bakery regularly changes their menu of
house-made soups, paninis, deli sandwiches
and focaccia.
At the Red Lion Hotel Salem, holiday
dining becomes memorable for hotel and
in-city guests at their Willamette Valley
Grill American Bistro. The menu changes
seasonally to take advantage of the meats,
dairy products and produce available from
local sources, said Scott Dallaire, the hotels
director of food and beverage.
Weve rolled out our fall/winter menu
and we focus our menus on seasonality,
he said. Another focus is buying
locally, he added.
We have a lamb rack from the local Henny
Farm here in Salem. Its fennel-dusted lamb,
grilled with parsnips, broccolini, and with a
plum glaze. The chef has done a good job
with this one, Dallaire said.
We are privately owned with an
individualized concept. Were not a chain
restaurant, he added. Were small enough
to stay local.
Though they are in the Red Lion Hotel
Salem, he said about 40 percent of the
restaurants guests are local residents. We
especially see a lot of once and twice-a-year
people on anniversaries, birthdays. The
holidays are part of that, too, he said.
Again this year, Willamette Valley Grill will
offer a large, traditional Thanksgiving buffet
to serve local families and hotel guests who
cant be home for the November holiday.
On the buffet will be herb-crusted prime rib,
turkey and ham. Keeping with a local theme,
there will also be several seasonal salads,
root vegetable salad and cranberry wild
rice, Dallaire said.
Its a new world for our restaurant. We
are really focused on our new menus and
nightly specials. Its all about what we can
buy in season.

et's face it shopping for the perfect gift for her can
be tough for guys.
The questions start with the merely befuddling
what kind of things does she like? and what are
the best of those things? and end with the truly treacherous
what's her size? and whats her favorite color?
Luckily, a number of Salem-area shops have taken pity on the
fellows and are here to help in their time of need.
For example, Olivias has a wide variety of jewelry, watches
and handbags from Brighton, a very popular brand.
The quality is good, the price is attractive, and its well-
made, Olivias owner Sandy Powell said.
Powell keeps a sidewalk sign out declaring that she has
Brighton items in her shop, which is 315 Chemeketa St. NE.
Girls got to know the Brighton
brand, and they come in because I
have the name out on the sidewalk,
she said. They say you dont buy
Brighton, you join Brighton.
Prices range from $95 for a
Brighton watch to $40 for a
necklace or $30 for earrings.
Down the way at Bittersweet
Boutique, shop co-owner Shannon
Williams said women go nuts
for Big Buddha handbags that
generally run from $90 to $100.
The bags are made from non-
animal leather the company

actually calls it vegan leather and
feature very nice linings and quality
craftsmanship, Williams said.
They look like an expensive designer
bag, so a husband can be happy hes
not spending $500 and up with a bag
that looks like its worth that, she said.
And Ive never had one break or
wear out on me.
Located at 321 Court St. NE, Bittersweet
Boutique also sells a nice selection of
clothing and fashion accessories for
juniors and women purchases that
men normally wont tread near for fear
of getting the size wrong.
But Bittersweet Boutique offers a
service that solves that knotty dilemma
nicely. The shop maintains a wish list
for customers, items and sizes that are
kept around for when the men in their
lives wander by.
It works really well, too, Salem
resident Tami Matthias interjects as
Williams is explaining the wish list.
Because he wants to give me things I
want, Ill try things on and tell her what
I like. He gets to get me what I want, he
doesn't have to assume sizes, and the
stuff they have is such good quality. I
love their merchandise.
Shoe Mill in the Salem Center provides
a similarly helpful service, store
manager Amanda Moore said.
UGG boots are one of the most popular
gift choices at the shop every year. This
years hottest model, the Bailey Button,
runs about $165 for a pair.
Theyre warm, theyre trendy, theyre
comfortable and theyre perfect for
weather, Moore said. That's the
biggest gift each year, the UGGs. Its on
everyones wish list. The guys just come
in and say, She wants UGGs again.
And the store makes it easy on the guys
by keeping their ladys shoe size on
record. If shes bought shoes from Shoe
Mill before, a guy can buy shoes for a
gift reasonably sure they wont have to
be returned the day after Christmas.
Glamour! owner Lindsey Graham said
her shop offers one of the best services
around utter exibility.
Glamour! is at 165 Liberty St. NE, and is
an all-in-one boutique and shop.
That means if you get a gift certicate
for her at Glamour!, it's not actually a
cop-out, Graham said.
Its not like, I didn't know what to get
you, so I got you this gift certicate,
she said. Its like, I want you to have
everything you want, so I got you this
gift certicate.
Ladies can use the gift certicate
to browse through the boutiques
collection of one-of-a-kind clothing.
Our clothing isnt name-brand, so its
all more affordable than your typical
boutique, Graham said.
Or they can use the gift certicate in the
salon loft upstairs, treating themselves
to a spa service, manicure, pedicure or
new hairstyle.
They could shop, they could get a
facial, they could get their nails done,
whatever, she said. A gift certicate
here can be used any number of ways.

ts hard to imagine a more tting
holiday gift for an Oregonian than
something meant to be used in
the outdoors.
So it should come as no surprise that Salem
area businesses offer a wide variety of
outdoor items that could come in handy in
our wide-open spaces.
Chilly Grips are the Oregon Glove
Companys top selling gift, store manager
Perta Wiltse said even more so this year,
because now they come in woodland
camouage for the hunter in your home.
Theyre like putting one of those wonderful
heavy boot socks on your hand, Wiltse
said. They keep hands so warm, and they
have a rubber coating on the palm up to
the tips of the ngers to help keep you dry
when youre out in
the brush. Theyre my

Glove Company
offers a special deal
for hunters -- $3 store
credit toward a new
pair of gloves if you
trade in a deer hide, and $6 credit for an elk
hide. The shop is at 1490 12th St. SE.
Knives made by Columbia River Knife &
Tool are another great gift idea for just
about anyone who spends time outdoors,
said Shane Dressel, the hunting manager at
Sportsmans Warehouse.
Columbia River knives are good, and
theyre local, Dressel said, noting that the
company is located in Tualatin. I love mine.
Theyve got a good edge on them, theyre
durable and they have a good locking
mechanism on them. The knives run from
$30 to $100 or more.
Binoculars are another great gift that
can be useful for many outdoor
pursuits, Dressel said.
A lot of people use them for bird watching
or wildlife viewing, he said. We get a lot
of people doing that.
Swarovski binoculars are the
top-of-the line, but you pay
for that quality. The cheapest
pair of Swarovskis will set you
back $800. Vortex and Bushmill
binoculars also are great, but
wont do as much damage to
your wallet, Dressel said.
While they arent technically
outdoors equipment, Dressel
added that grills and smokers
also are a popular holiday gift
for outdoors folk.
The shermen like
smokers, he said. Smokers
and barbeques always sell really
good for holidays.
Sportsmans Warehouse is at

Salem Summit Company has a nifty
gift idea for the hiker or camper in your
life lightweight hammocks made from
parachute cloth.
The hammocks, made by Eagles Nest
Outtters, fold up into a 4-inch by 5-inch
pouch thats easy to toss into a backpack
or tote around.
Its just a hammock, but its so handy
that a lot of people are adopting these in
summertime and using them in lieu of a
tent, said shop owner Al Tandy. Its just
a lighter-weight, easy option.
Salem Summit sells the hammocks for
$60 to $70, Tandy said. The shop is at
246 State St.
Buff Headwear is another handy item
with multiple uses that Salem Summit
sells. Particularly during the winter
months, these examples of multi-
functional headwear could come in
handy when a bodys ears, nose, chin or
face start to feel frozen.
Its basically a long tube, Tandy said.
You can wear it as a headband, a
neckerchief or a face mask. There are
dozens of ways to use it.
The headbands/scarves come in models
made from technical fabric, wool, and
other materials. Prices at Salem Summit
run from $20 to $27.
Exit Real World also recommends cold-
weather gear as a gift, particularly for
people with snowboarders in the family.
Beanies work great to keep heads toasty
warm when its cold out, sales associate
Zac Bell said. They run $15 to $20.
But socks are Bells preferred gift gear for
keeping warm while hitting the slopes.
Its my favorite thing to give and
receive, especially when they have a lot
of technology in them, he said, noting
that many socks Exit sells contain wicking
fabrics that draw moisture away from
your feet and keep them dry and warm.
You can shop at Exit Real World at
505 Chemeketa Street NE in
downtown Salem.
Cubanisimo
Vineyards 2011
Pinot Gris
he Thanksgiving holiday involves much more than a turkey
dinner in the Willamette Valley. The long weekend also
means that dozens of wineries will pull out all the stops for
two to three days of over-the-top wine tasting.
For an up-to-date listing of which wineries are participating,
go to www.statesmanjournal.com.
Thanksgiving meal continues
New this year, Willamette Valley Vineyards chef, Eric Nelson, is
preparing a full Thanksgiving menu. An additional charge allows
guests to learn how to pair wine with their food.
In addition to the ights of wine, holiday foods and live music,
the winery is also hosting Vivian Perry, author of Winemakers of
the Willamette Valley. Perry will speak with guests and sign her
book for visitors.
More information is at www.willamettevalleyvineyards.com.
Progress to Pinot
A favorite stop across the valley to the west is Cubanisimo Vineyards
at 1754 Best Road NW.
Jenelle Ford, operations manager at the winery, said: We have heard
over and over that we are the most fun winery. It is such a different
environment here than other tasting rooms.
We are 15 minutes from downtown, so people can still do Christmas
shopping on Friday morning, come here at 11 a.m. and still have
plenty of time. We are in many peoples back yard and they dont
even know it.
In Cubanisimos back yard, visitors nd pinot. We are a pinot winery.
We grow pinot noir and gris. Also, we make a rose of pinot wines,
Ford said, adding that the winery is also well known for salsa dance,
live Latin music and Cuban food. Whether it is food or wine - or both -
it is always served in a festival atmosphere, she said.
Cubanisimo nds its appeal from owner Mauricio Collada, a native of
Havana who came to the United States in 1962. He came to Oregon
in the mid-1980s and was entranced with Willamette

was planted in 1991.
Ford said the $10 fee on
Thanksgiving weekend
includes wine tasting, live
music and Cuban tapas
available for purchase.
Cubanisimo will be open for the
big weekend 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Nov. 29 through Dec. 1. For
the event, the vineyard is
releasing their 2011 pinot
noir. More information is at

Scenic for your senses
North of West Salem is Redhawk
Winery, owned and operated
for more than eight years by
John and Betty Pataccoli. The
couple came to Salem from
California, purchased the
existing winery and found out
how much Oregonians enjoy
wine-tasting events.
Other wine regions through
the country dont have the
same type of event like this on
Thanksgiving weekend, and I
dont know why, John Pataccoli
said. Someone, sometime (in
Oregon) had an idea for some
type of festival. That festival is
more than just a wine tasting.
There is a draw.
Redhawk hopes to draw people
to their Thanksgiving weekend
event with wine and food.
At Redhawk, what we do is
we have a big, full-blown
barbeque spread tri-tip to
salmon pat. Well have a line
of eight to twelve wines to taste
and we open up the winery,
removing barrels to create
space, Pataccoli said.
The cost for Redhawks
event is $10 per person and
Pataccoli stresses that fee is
all inclusive. Live music sets
the tone for the food and wine
tasting. Its a great deal,
he added, and people have
gured that out.
Its a big mixture of people
that come. Some are people
who have never gone tasting
before, or maybe once or twice.
We see big groups, and then there are
regulars who come to every event.
Pataccoli said a big offering this year will be
a barrel tasting. We will be tasting the 2012
reserve, to be bottled after the new year.
Though this reserve is a Willamette Valley
specialty, a pinot noir, it is not the only red
wine Pataccoli boasts about.
Were one of the few wineries that do big
reds other than pinot noir, he said. While
there for the Thanksgiving event, try his
sangiovese. To see more of their stock, go
to www.redhawkwine.com.
Taste in town
In Salem, tasting ne wine and foods
continues within the city at Honeywood
Winery, located at 1350 Hines St. SE.
Lesley Gallick, Honeywood Winerys
tasting room manager,
describes their
Thanksgiving weekend wine event as a
way to taste the wine and food sold at the
store. There will be food sampling and full
appetizers. You get to try the food before
you buy it, she said.
Of course, the wine is there for tasting as
well. This year before summer, we started
selling wine cocktails. For Thanksgiving, we
are going to have a hot apple cider drink

Special to Holiday
Holiday events feature
tea, tubas and twinkling lights
J
ust as a family develops a traditional
routine for their holiday happenings,
so does a city.
Salems list includes a variety of
memorable events that entertain and
engage people year after year through song
and dance, festive light displays and more.
Taking part in one, some, or all of these tried-
and-true happenings has become a tradition
for many in Salem, as they seek to build new
memories upon those from years past.
Tip-toe traditions
Most people have enjoyed a ballet
performance of The Nutcracker during
the holidays.
For the 10th year, Salems American
Ballet Academy will present A Childrens
Nutcracker twice at the Historic Elsinore
Theatre at 170 High St. SE.
Dancers take the stage at 7 p.m. on Dec.
14, and 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 15. For ticket
information, go to www.elsinoretheatre.com.
It is one of the holiday traditions and is
in high demand at Christmas time,
said Annie Joslin, owner and director of
American Ballet Academy.
She said her dancers are mostly high school
students and younger, while some adults
play the role of parents for the holiday party
scene. Nearly each of Joslins 250 students
has a role one of the weekend shows,
which are fundraisers for the pediatric
unit at Salem Hospital.
The excitement of going out on stage
is huge for these kids. They love the
costumes, the stage lights. Of course they
were nervous about it even in September.
That enthusiasm is great, she said.
The Nutcracker experience continues at
the Historic Elsinore Theatre at 7:30 p.m.
Dec. 18 and 19 when the Eugene Ballet
performs. These dancers are professionals
who dance to exquisite choreography
set to Tchaikovskys timeless score.
Tickets are at www.elsinoretheatre.com.
Take note at these events
If ballet isnt your holiday thing, another
performance that has become a Salem
tradition is enjoying a concert from Festival
Chorale Oregon. At 4 p.m. on Nov. 24, at
the Historic Elsinore Theatre, the group
of roughly 100 singers will perform Felix
Mendelssohns Elijah.
A smaller selection of the chorale
ensemble returns to the Elsinore one
month later at 4 p.m. Dec. 22, for
Sing We Now of Christmas.
This is the Salem favorite in which traditional
carols are performed by the FCO Festival
Carolers, who are dressed in seasonal
Victorian costume. Sing-along carols and a
special story for children will be featured.
Also, children are admitted free for this
show. For FCO ticket information, see
www.elsinoretheatre.com.
Because the Elsinore provides such an
ideal setting for holiday music, its
important to know that Tuba Christmas is
slated for Christmas Eve. Its not just all
about tubas, though.
The sousaphone, euphonium and baritone
horn also are in the spotlight for this concert,
which plays at noon on Dec. 24. Its not
uncommon for 100 horns to be on stage
while hundreds watch them play. This creates
a great demand for seating, so get your
tickets early at www.elsinoretheatre.com.

Historic Deepwood Estate, an 1894
Queen Anne Victorian Home situated on
approximately 4 acres at 1116 Mission
Street SE has a variety of festive
activities scheduled.
Deepwood is dressed in her holiday nest
and lled with trees, garland, ornaments
and bows. It is the glimmer and shimmer
that only a Victorian holiday can bring,
said Lois Cole, executive director of
Friends of Deepwood.
The estate will host its annual Holiday
Open House from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 8 and
Dec. 22. This free event is family friendly
and includes live music, seasonal treats and
a visit from St. Nick.
Cole said hosts and hostesses of these
popular open-house events will be dressed
in Victorian costumes. Bring the kids.
The house is all decorated and everybody
comes to see Santa Claus.
For a more intimate day at Deepwood,
enjoy an Annual Holiday Tea on Dec. 13 or
14. For tickets, go to
HistoricDeepwoodEstate.org.
Men and women both come to this
one. The house is decorated and looks
fantastic, Cole said. Its a champagne
tea; a traditional Victorian three course tea
with seasonal savories and sweets, she
said. Everything is handmade - the scones,
cream and jam.

After six weeks of stringing miles of twinkling
lights, the 14th Annual Magicat the Mill will
be ready for ve evenings of holiday delight at
the Willamette Heritage Center at the Mill. This
magic is 5:30 to 8 p.m. Dec. 19 -Dec. 23 at 1313
Mill St. SE in Salem. Admission is $5 for those 13
and older; $3 for ages 4 to 12; free for ages 3 and
younger and Willamette Heritage
Center members.
Its always a very busy time for us. There is a
wonderful excitement to it, said Amy Vandegrift,
development director at The Mill. We have
families who make this a tradition. Its great fun.
Its neat to watch three or four generations
come in to enjoy the evening together. This is a
way to make that happen.
She said that the train exhibit will return and
is always a favorite. Kids just love to see it
move. Plus, every evening will have musical
performances, historical displays and holiday
crafts for kids.
New this year is an exhibit inside parsonage
about the areas early settlers. Interactive displays
allow kids to play at an old stove, iron with an old
iron or sit in an old desk. For a list of the fun, go

We do have a full variety of vendors.

she said, knowing that her statement still
couldnt sum up the variety of handcrafted
items at the Holiday Market.

Oregon originals
It can seem that the holidays come
around faster every year, and
shopping for the man in your life --
be it boyfriend, husband, father, son
or etc. -- might require some creativity.
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Electronics are popular with all
demographics these days, but
odds are your guy already
has his go-to smart phone
or iPad. If youre looking
for something unique, try
speakers like the Acoustic
Research portable indoor -
outdoor speaker at Frys
Electronics, which is one of
the top electronics stores in
the valley and denitely worth
the trip to Wilsonville. This
speaker is weather-resistant and
compatible with iPads, iPhones
and Android. It even has a handle and
a sleek modern design, and would look
at home on a picnic table or a coffee
table. It retails for $99 at frys.com. Frys
Electronics can also help you cross
other items off your gift list from the
latest video games and e-readers to
PC components, phones, car
electronics and telescopes.
French presses arent just for elite
coffee drinkers anymore. For an
investment around $40, your very
own French press can nd its place
on your kitchen counter -- and it takes
up much less space than a traditional
coffee pot, too. Shop for a French
Press or other kitchen goodies at
Lullus Tutto Cucina, 357 Court
Street NE in Salem. Plus,
you can sign up for cooking
classes, which is a fun and
creative gift idea, perfect for
date nights in the new year!
Classes feature international
fare, healthy recipes, and
American favorites, with lessons
from guest chefs from around
the region. Call 503-364-7900
for details and prices or visit
lulluscookingclasses.com
for chefs bios and
other information.
How about a chess set? Even for the
casual player, a nice chess set is a
conversation piece in a living room
and can make for a fun yet
sophisticated dcor item. Borderlands
Games, 546 High Street NE in Salem,
is a family-owned business in operation
since 1995. Learn more about
all they have to offer at
www.borderlandsgames.com.
There are comics, board games,
and, yes, chess clubs.
Exit Real World, 505 Chemeketa Street
NE, offers sports equipment and active
wear for the skate and snowboard
hobbyist, plus watches, shoes, luggage,
sunglasses and more. Not sure quite
what to get? The friendly staff will be
happy to answer your questions, or
visit their blog at exitrealworld.com. Of
course, the option of an Exit Real World
gift card is also available.
Maybe while shopping for the man
in your life, you can sneak in a little
something for the home. Stop by
Emerald Outdoor Living, 2520 Silverton
Road NE in Salem, for grills, hot tubs,
replaces, accessories, patio furniture
and more. Nothing says happy
holidays like a gift that improves the
home all year long and makes the
family excited for outdoor cooking and
entertaining in the summer ahead.
How about a magazine subscription?
Whether Sports Illustrated, Popular
Mechanics, Mens Health, or one of the
myriad of other popular magazines out
there, youre likely to nd something to
t his fancy. Yearly magazine
subscriptions offer up to half off the cover
price, and if youre condent hell like it,
try getting a few years subscriptions at
once and save even more.

he holidays are a great season
for sparkly things houses
covered in lights, tinsel twinkling
in Christmas trees, and, of course,
gifts of jewelry.
Christmas season is denitely our busiest
time of the year, said Alan Haugen, owner
of Vernon Jewelers. It is a time when
people feel festive, warm hearted, and are
looking for that perfect gift to put under
the Christmas tree.
Haugen, goldsmith Roy John, and Jackson
Jewelers manager Tyler Jackson all said
that engagement rings account for a lot of
their sales around the holidays - between
20 and 40 percent.
They want to propose around that time,
Jackson said. Some want to give the ring
on the holiday, some around that day. Its a
winter wonderland sort of feeling.
Many couples these days are coming into the
store to select a ring together, Haugen said.
Ladies come in and help the guy out and
narrow it down to two or three styles that
they like, he said. Most men try to keep
the date of when the proposal is going to
happen a secret not so much the fact that
it is going to happen.
Diamonds also are a popular item around
the holidays, particularly diamond earrings
and diamond pendants. Diamond stud
earrings are one of our top sellers, Jackson
said, a sentiment Haugen seconded.
People also seem to be returning to gold
jewelry. Yellow gold and rose gold has
really surged, Jackson said. Customers
mostly have wanted white gold over the
last 10 years. Now they seem like they
want yellow gold or rose gold.
Other popular items at jewelry
stores include:
PANDORA bracelets: Pandora is
a reasonably priced jewelry line,
specically known for their bracelets
that you add charms to, Haugen
said. These charms are centered
around creating moments in every
individuals life.
Tacori: They do this whole colored
jewelry collection, Jackson said. Its
sterling silver and gold with diamonds
and colors and people just love it.
It is a lot more colorful than we
usually see in jewelry.
Watches: Each shop carries distinct
brands. Jacksons sells Rolexes; usually
a couple a week. Its a watch you can
buy that can last forever, Jackson said.
My Rolex is 13 years old and worth
$1,000 more than when I bought it.
Salem jewelry store owners have a few good
words of advice for folks looking to buy
trinkets for the holidays.
Look at the quality of the materials --
platinum, gold, silver, John said. If you
cant afford platinum or gold, if you were

sparkle
going to silver I would look at the craftsmanship
and I would look at the quality of the gemstones
they are using.
He added that youre better off buying jewelry
from a shop that can service what it sells.
If I buy this piece, what is my recourse for a
diamond becoming loose or the ring needing
to be resized? John said. You want that
person to be there to maintain your investment.
It just makes sense. If youre going to spend
a few hundred dollars or more, you want the
goldsmith or the designer to stand by their
work and say, Im going to be here for you
in the future.
Haugen recommended that people try out one
of Salems local and family-owned jewelry stores.
Family-owned jewelry stores put a lot more
care into the jewelry they make or the brands
they sell, he said. We denitely depend on
the satisfaction of our customers and word-
of-mouth advertisement and we carry a much
higher quality.
As far as what to buy, Jackson makes an obvious
but easy-to-overlook suggestion: watch what the
gal or guy in your life likes to wear.
What she wears most often, thats what she
likes, he said. And its more fun to buy things
that they will wear every day.
Finally, John suggests that people who get a
nice piece of jewelry make sure they stay in
touch with their jeweler to keep their sparkly in
spiffy shape.
Just like a car or appliance, it should be
maintained, he said. It should be checked on
a regular basis. Most goldsmiths dont charge to
check or clean your jewelry. That will ensure you
dont have a diamond or an opal that you could
lose if the mounting comes loose.

regon produces more Christmas
trees than any other state,
according to the national
Agriculture Marketing
Research Center, and here in the
Willamette Valley, we have dozens of
places where you can not only choose
the perfect holiday tree, but also have a
fun, festive family experience.
One Willamette Valley Christmas tree farm is
Bystrom and Sandberg Trees of Molalla.
Molalla has the right altitude, precipitation
and soil conditions for Christmas trees and
the farm has Douglas rs, noble rs and
grand rs. The farm sells elite trees
locally but also exports more than 40,000
trees annually around the nation and to
China and Mexico.
The business is based on a decades-
old friendship.
Owners Dale Bystrom and Don Sandberg
were kindergarten classmates and childhood
friends in Molalla in the 1940s.
Their longtime friendship enables them
to be rst-rate in efciency, quality and
integrity, according to their website,
bandstrees.com.
Bystrom and Sandberg Trees also gets
into the spirit of the season by donating
trees to the nonprot Adaptive Riding
Institute in Turner, a therapeutic horseback
riding program
for special-needs
children. These
include holiday
giving trees
that the Adaptive
Riding Institute
has placed in local
businesses in winters
past. Generous
patrons then placed
donations for the
nonprot under
the trees, including
food for the horses,
various supplies,
or cash donations
to benet clients in
need. To learn more

OChristmas Tree
Oregon produces more
Christmas trees than any
other state, according
to the national Agriculture
Marketing Research Center.
here are people who really know
Oregons seasons, and there
are people who really know
Oregons beers.
And then there are people like Matt Killikelly
who knows how Oregons seasons affect
Oregon craft beers.
He is not only part owner of Santiam
Brewing, he is also the beer czar for Ventis
Restaurants in Salem. Killikelly knows how
to make beer and make sense of beer,
and he has the beer vocabulary to back
up his knowledge.
I handle everything to do with beer in
both Ventis Restaurants the ordering,
organizing, upkeep and the tap-system
maintenance, he said. (Craft beer brewers)
dont the run the same handles over and
over, like Budweiser did for 15 to 20 years.
He said bars, pubs and restaurants in
Oregon rarely feature the same craft beers
on tap over and over again because craft-
beer drinkers dont have brand loyalty.
Killikelly said, It is about style and
treatment of the beer. (The customers) are
constantly looking for next big thing.
Yet, Killikelly said some fans do go
backward. The go back for seasonal tastes
from the prior year, he said.
Craft beer pubs may have four to eight
mainline brews on tap; then theyll do
various seasonals and a specialty. The
special may be barrel aged, high strength or
include special ingredients.
As the weather starts to cool down, for
the most part, there will be seasonal beers
that tend to be heavier-bodied beers. Think
dark, higher-alcohol beers, he said. Youll
start to see bars serve maltier beer porter,
stout, imperial-strength beers with
more body.
I think people look forward to the
seasonals. People wait and buy them for
the holiday table. They are beers you
want to share.
At Santiam, seasonal changes are coming.
Were about to get into our darker beers,
he said, touting two of his favorites, which
are Prince Charlies Wee Heavy Scottish Ale
(9 percent alcohol) and Sangre de Christo
(10 percent alcohol).
As it appears on the Santiam website,
Killikelly describes Prince Charlies as
A malty, full bodied, lightly hopped strong
Scotch ale, with hints of smoked peat.
With hops being hard to grow in Scotland,
Scottish ales are usually rich, malty and full
bodied. This one is deep brown, with lots
of caramel, peaty malt and earthy character.
This is a real winter warmer.
Those seasonal brews are at Santiam
Brewing, 2544 19th St SE. Bring a growler

beers around the
cranberry season
for our French
Farmhouse-style
ale. We head to the
(cranberry) bogs in
Bandon, Ore., for harvesting, said Matt
Radtke. He is one of the four Radtke men,
brothers Matt, Mike and Nick and father,
Lee, who own and operate Gilgameshs
brewing operations and Campus grill at
2065 Madrona Ave SE.
The Abandon Brew, made with what the
Radtkes brought in from the bog, he said,
Is a lighter, tart beer that we try to pair
with a big meal. Others make a dark heavy
beer in winter. We want to make something
lighter; similar to a lighter wine you drink
with a meal.
Radtke agrees with Killikelly, the beer czar,
that Oregons passion for craft beer has
changed the way locals buy and drink their
brew. A lot of it is that we are a community.
We are able to partner with local businesses
and share in their events, Radtke said.
The city has embraced the craft beer
culture. And its growing every day due to
the established businesses like Ventis and
f-Stop Fitzgeralds. That community culture
has paved the way for new businesses
to come through.
Indeed, whether dining out in Salem or
getting a drink at a local bar, having a
variety of regional craft beer available is very
common. Radtke said, Its bringing more
fun and nightlife enjoyment to the city.
Giglamesh, like other brewers, creates beers
in a full spectrum of avors. If customers
want dark beer, Gilgamesh offers Mega
Monster, which Radtke describes as an
imperial IPA that gets its bitterness from
the pollen that typically goes away during
beer making. We collect what would go
to waste, and we brew a beer with that -
that will be the big, heavy beer, 10 percent
alcohol, he added. Look for 22-ounce
bottles that should be coming soon.
That and many of their brews are available
at gilgameshbrewing.com, Roths Fresh
Markets, Lifesource and Franklins
Bottle Shop.
At the brewery we are every year making
gift packs, Radtke said. People choose an
insulated tote lled with any of our beers
bottled, ip top, liter bottles. Its great for
dinners or gifts under the tree.

Thompson Brewery
may be in Salem,
but only a portion
of the brew stays
at their Thompson
Brewery and Public
House, 3575 Liberty
Road S. Their
well-known craft
beer is also featured
year-round at their
sister pub in Salem,
McMenamins
Boones Treasury,
888 Liberty St.
NE, as well as at
McMenamins
in Oregon City
and McMenamins
Sunnyside
near Portland.
We are busier in
the summer, but
more creative in
wintertime, said
Jen Kent, Thompson
brewer for seven
years. When summer is over and it slows
down a bit, we can have creative fun.
Creativity is seen in their heavier winter
beers. Kent said, It is time to get warm,
time to get more malty beers. Its been
that way forever.
In summer, you want to have lighter beers;
fruity, lighter beers; the blondes. For the
colder months, however, people want to
turn the tables. Its nice to have a big
warmer beer with higher alcohol volume.
Our most popular seasonal beers are Kris
Kringle, Monster Pumpkin Ale and Black
Widow, with a licorice hint, she said.
Appropriate for the winter season, Kris
Kringle has cinnamon and nutmeg.
Rising on their top-ranked list is Sleepy
Hollow, a nut brown. Kent said, This is
the season of brown ales. They are coming
out in full fall force. Black Widow is a nice
American Brown, low hop and malt prole,
a good middle-of-the-road beer.
LEFT: Bree Anne Wistock (left) and
Cassandra Harris are nding fun behind
the bar at Santiam Brewing.
BELOW: Gilgamesh Brewing sends its
brewers to the bogs in Bandon, Ore.,
to gather cranberries for its seasonal
cranberry brew.
As the weather starts to cool down, for
the most part, there will be seasonal beers
that tend to be heavier-bodied beers.
Think dark, higher-alcohol beers, he said.
Youll start to see bars serve maltier beer
porter, stout, imperial-strength beers with
more body.
I think people look forward to the
seasonals. People wait and buy them for
the holiday table. They are beers you want
to share.

W
e are pummeled with wave
after wave of new electronic
gadgets, all promising to
make our lives easier and
more interesting.
And darn it, most of them do.
Which is why they keep our interest, and
why we keep buying them -- even buying
new versions of the gadget we already
own and love.
There are lots of gift options out there
for the gadget-lover in your life, and what
better place to start than the company
that stands as King of the Cant-Do-
Without-Gadget?
Apple has a couple of fun gift options that
are cant-miss gift items, said Caleb Arkie, a
sales associate for The Mac Store in
the Lancaster Mall.
The iPad Mini is Arkies rst suggestion.
Thats kind of the newest, coolest gadget,
he said. Its smaller than the traditional
iPad. You could almost put it anywhere,
and its lighter. Thats a big plus.
The iPad Mini features a 7.9-inch backlit
display with up to 10 hours of battery life.
Its price starts from $330 for the
16-gigabyte version.
Apple TV is another fun device for Apple
acionados. Its a device that connects
to your TV, allowing you to stream media
from your iPad or iPhone directly to your TV
wirelessly, Arkie said.
With Apple TV hooked to your home set,
you can play music that is located on the
iTunes in your computer while displaying
family photos stored on that very same
computer. You also can purchase and either
download or stream the latest movies and
television shows through iTunes.
An Apple TV unit is pretty affordable, too,
given its versatility. It will run you $100.
Folks who like
to record their
adventures might like the
GoPro Hero3+ Black Adventure
Camera, said Melinda Merrill, spokeswoman
for Fred Meyer.
The GoPro is a video camera you can
attach to yourself, whether you are biking,
snowboarding, skateboarding, motorcycling
or just out with the family.
Its just a fun tool. Its todays version of the
home video camera, Merrill said. You put it
on your head when you bike or when youre
at the water slide. When you watch it, you
get to see what you were doing from your
point of view. If youre a family thats always
taping stuff, this is the gadget for you.
The GoPro retails at about $400. You can
also buy mounts for just about any activity
you can imagine chest mounts, helmet
mounts, head mounts, wrist mounts,
roll bar mounts, surfboard mounts and
handlebar mounts.
Music lovers have plenty of great options
for new gadgets, particularly since many
music players now allow you to transmit
music via Bluetooth wireless to some
great sounding speakers.
The Jawbone Big Jambox Bluetooth
Speaker is a particularly great example.
Jawbone does a great job with high-quality
sound over a Bluetooth system, Merrill said.
The Jawbone speaker is only 4 inches
tall and 10 inches long, and looks quite
a bit like a graphite brick. But it delivers
hi- sound that can ll a room, turning
any phone, tablet or mobile device into a
portable, hi- sound system.
You dont even need your own music you
can use a service such as Pandora to stream
music from your device to the Jawbone.
The Jawbone Big Jambox retails for $300.
The Garmin ForeRunner 10 is another
gadget thats quite popular in the Salem
area, said Evelyn Young, a sales associate
for Gallaghers Fitness Resources.
Garmin sells versions of the ForeRunner
that have more features and options,
but that sometimes can work against
a persons simple desire to just get
out and run.
The ForeRunner 10 keeps it simple
you can start your run after pushing just
one button. Its also looks ashier than
other versions, coming in a variety
of bright colors.
The colors are very popular with people,
and its very easy to use, Young said. It
tells you your distance and pace as youre
running, and its really accurate.
Basically, it tracks how far youve gone,
how fast youre going, and how your pace
compares to earlier in your jog.
You can purchase the ForeRunner 10
for $130 from Gallaghers, which is at
135 Commercial St. NE.

olks looking for a Secret Santa
gift under $25 have quite a few
imaginative options when shopping in
the Salem area.
The most popular gift at Salem Summit
Company for folks on a budget is Darn Tough
socks, shop owner Dan Tandy said.
Darn Tough socks are made in Vermont and
come with a lifetime guarantee if they wear
out, the company will replace them free of
charge. Theyre soft, supportive, and some
styles even come without a toe seam.
Its one of those gifts, nobody can have
enough socks, Tandy said. And if you ever
wear them out, you get a new pair.
Socks for bikers or runners cost $14, while
socks for skiers or mountaineers cost $25.
Salem Summit Company is at 246 State St.
in downtown Salem.
EZ Orchards sells a nationally recognized hard
cider guaranteed to warm your adult friends
and relatives on chilly winter evenings. The
hard cider received a rst-place ranking in
Bon Appetit magazine out of 50 samples from
across the country, owner John Zielinski said.
Weve actually had very positive reviews on
our hard cider, and its been selling well, too,
Zielinski said. Made with nine apple varieties,
the cider sells for $13.99 and comes in a
750-milliliter champagne-style bottle.
EZ Orchards also offers a great selection of
aprons for the foodie in your life, running from
$22 to $35. You also can pick up gift boxes of
apples, pears or preserves.
SLAB Handcrafted Soap, located in the Reed
Opera House, offers a wide variety of natural
soaps, hand lotions and lip balms.
Like the name says, all of the products are
made by hand.
People really like these soaps because theyre
all-natural, said store clerk Emily Stewart.
Theyre super non-irritating and really
easy on your skin.
The soaps come in a variety of scents that
change often. Orange Spice, Spearmint,
Oatmeal and Honey, Lemongrass and
Grapefruit Oatmeal are some popular scents.
Bars are $5 each, or 6 for $25.
The shop also sells hand lotions and lip balms
for $5 each. For the man in your life who
likes an old-fashioned shave, SLAB also sells
shaving soap for $6 a bar.
A cornucopia of inexpensive gifts from around
the globe is available at One Fair World, which
is at 474 Court St. NE.
Shoppers can nd colorful glass earrings
from Chile for $11 a pair, a big silk purse from
Nepal made from recycled saris for $20, or
handmade washable childrens rattles from
Bangladesh that come in the shape of an owl,
monkey, pixie or octopus, and are $14.
Whats more, the items are all fair trade,
meaning you can shop knowing your holiday
dollars are going to hardworking people
around the world.
The artisans who make them are paid a fair
living wage that allows them to support their
families, manager Kim Baldwin said.
One Fair World also offers owl gourds
hand-sized painted gourds that look like
owls and can be used as fun Christmas
tree decorations.
Each one is hand-designed and unique to
the gourd its painted on, Baldwin said.
Olivias, at 315 Chemeketa St. NE, sells a very
unlikely, but patently popular gift that goes by
the name of Poo-Pourri.
Thats the top stocking stuffer in the land,
shop owner Sandy Powell said. It really
works and it cracks me up every time I
go to reorder it.
Poo-Pourri is a citrus-scented spray lled
with essential oils. As for its purposewell,
the products tag line says it all: Spritz the
bowl before you go and no one else
will ever know.
It starts as a gag gift, and then they come
back to get one for every bathroom,
Powell said.
Shoppers can get a small bottle of Poo-Pourri
for $10.99, or a larger bottle for $15.99.

Spiced
Marionberry
Sauce

3 cups Marionberries 1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbl cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp allspice
1 Tbl orange zest 3 Tbl cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Combine Marionberries, 1/2 cup of the
water, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice,
cloves, and orange zest in saucepan.
Simmer on medium heat.
Dissolve the 3 Tbl of cornstarch into the
remaining 1/2 cup of water, and stir into the
Marionberry mixture, until well blended and
mixture is no longer cloudy (4-5 minutes).
Remove from heat and use warm or cool
and store in the refrigerator.
Holiday Polenta with Red Sauce
Polenta:
1 cup coarse ground corn meal 3 cups half and half
1 tsp salt 1/2 cup parmesan
In a sauce pan, heat the dairy, cornmeal and salt till bubbling, keep on low heat, stirring
occasionally until thickened, throw in parmesan, stir and place in a buttered dish.
Hold in oven.
Sear the sausages in a little olive oil until par cooked. Set aside.
Red sauce:
1 onion diced 2 carrots diced 1 red pepper diced
4 cloves garlic 2 tsp dried tarragon 2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 cup red wine 1 tsp sugar 2 16 oz cans of tomato sauce

In a sauce pan with 1/4 cup olive oil, toss in rst 6 ingredients and cook for about
5 minutes. Add red wine, tomato sauce and sugar. Lower heat and cook for two hours.
When there is about 1/2 left of cooking time toss the sausages into the sauce and
nish cooking them. Serve the polenta, top with the sauce and nish with freshly
grated parmesan and fresh basil. Eat and enjoy.
The folks at the Willamette Fruit Company also have a holiday suggestion for your table,
a spiced Marionberry sauce shared by Bakery Manager Marlene Gunderson.
She says the sauce can be used warm or cold as an accompaniment to meat, and also is
great as a topping for canaps. You also can place 2 tsp of cream cheese of your choice
on a cracker and top with a dab of the Marionberry sauce.
ets face it holiday meals can
become rather rote.
Youve got your ham or turkey,
a bit of stufng, maybe some
green beans and some sweet potatoes and
sweet rolls.
Why not try something a little
different this year?
The owner and chef of Amadeus
Restaurant in downtown Salem, Diana
Ramallo, has a fun Italian-avored
suggestion for a holiday dish.
Growing up, and again as an adult,
Christmas Eve has always been one of the
most special of holidays, Ramallo said.
It has always been about friends and
family getting together and celebrating
together. Sometimes the meal would
be very elaborate, but most often it was
about comfort food. One of the dishes that
appeared most often was creamy polenta
topped with Italian sausage and a chunky
marinara sauce served with crusty bread to
mop up the sauce.

Games and systems
for all the enthusiasts on your list
his holiday season promises
to be gamer heaven.
Two brand-new game
systems, the PlayStation
4 and the Xbox One, will hit the
market just before the holidays,
providing a tempting gift choice for
the game enthusiast in your life.
And there will be a wealth of
hot video games on the shelves
for those who plan to stick with
the current generation of
video game consoles.
Pre-orders for both the PlayStation
4 and the Xbox One are rolling in
at Fred Meyer and other stores that
carry video games.
Theyre really, really strong, said
Fred Meyer spokeswoman Melinda
Merrill. I cant give any numbers,
but presales are really going well.
Both are clearly very popular items.
In fact, both systems might be hard
to nd around the holiday season,
which will only increase their allure as
a gift. Microsoft recently announced
that its presale Xbox Ones are pretty
much sold out, while Sony said there
are more than a million preorders
for the PlayStation 4.
PlayStation 4 launches on Nov. 15
and costs $399, while Xbox One
releases on Nov. 22 and costs $499.
All the next-generation hoopla might
not mean much to your hard-core
video game enthusiast, however.
I think the bulk of people are
playing the waiting game, said
David Bartel, owner of the West
Salem video game store Gamers
Oasis. Honestly, I think a lot of it
is as far as games go, the big-name
games are coming out on both the
current generation of consoles and
the next gen. They can get the game
on the system they own, and not
have to spend more money on
a new console.
Part of the problem is that the video
technology has improved beyond
the point that the average gamer
cant tell the difference between an
Xbox 360 game and an Xbox One
game, looks-wise, Bartel said.
We cannot with the naked eye tell
how the pixels have increased, he
said. When we jumped from Xbox
to Xbox 360, you could see in the
facial graphics a tenfold leap. It
became more dened. Everything
looked more realistic. Its getting
to the point where the naked eye
cant tell all the details. Laymen will
look at it and say, Well, that looks
no better than what Im getting
on my 360.
There are many games for the
current generation of consoles
that are coming out in time for the
holidays, and Bartel expects sales for
those to be high.
Two games based on collectibles,
Disney Innity and Skylanders
Swap Force, will go head-to-head
during the holidays.
In both games, players purchase
little collectible gurines that plug in
to stands attached to the Xbox 360,
PlayStation 3 or Wii U. The character
T
score big
OR-0000334463
represented by that gurine Sully from
Monsters Inc., for example, or Jack
Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean
will then pop up in the video game as a
playable character.
Both games are extremely family-friendly.
Gift shoppers can either purchase the
$75 starter packs for either game,
or they can buy the lower-priced
individual gurines associated with
Disney Innity or Skylanders Swap
Force, depending on which one their
beloved gamer is enjoying.
Other current-generation video games
expected to y off shelves include:
The latest versions of two rival rst-
person-shooter franchises, Battleeld 4
and Call of Duty: Ghost. Call of Duty
is always big, every year that one comes
out, and Battleeld 4 sales are tracking
higher than Battleeld 3 did, Bartel
said. Parents should take their kids age
into consideration before buying these
violent shoot-em-ups.
Pokemon X & Pokemon Y are
coming out for the Nintendo 3DS.
Over in Japan, they have sold out of
the entire stock in the nation before the
game is even out, and its just as hot
here, Bartel said.
Super Mario 3D World also will be
out, and could give gamers a reason to
buy a Wii U. Its been making massive
waves online, so it might actually move
Wii Us, which have been very slow-selling
systems, Bartel said.
Other popular video games that will be
out by the holidays include Grand Theft
Auto V, Diablo 3, Batman: Arkham
Origins, Assassins Creed IV: Black
Flag, South Park: The Stick of Truth
and Need For Speed: Rivals.
Most of these games are aimed at a teen-
to-adult audience, so pay attention to
the games ESRB rating, usually located
at the lower left or right hand corner of
the games box.
If you want to shop at Gamers Oasis,
which sells new and used games, the
shop is in the West Salem Roths plaza at
1144 Wallace Road NW.

BUY FRESH - BUY LOCAL
We make and grow what we sell
JUST A FEW REASONS
TO SHOP LOCAL
Locally grown food tastes better and,
because its fresher, it lasts longer.
Buying local keeps more dollars in
our community. One study shows
that each dollar spent with a local
business is worth $2.50 for the
community.
Buying local supports & strengthens
local families and producers, providing
jobs within our own community.
Buying local products shrinks the
number of miles food and all items
have to travel before being eaten,
using less fossil fuels and signicant
reductions in greenhouse gas
emissions.
Buying local connects our community
and allows consumers to know the
farmers, understand the seasons and
respect the growing process.
Buying local is about the future,
sustaining local farms and businesses,
helping preserve the unique character
of our community and helping you
become a more engaged citizen.
The mission of our members is to:
provide local growers of agricultural products, producers of prepared
foods, artisans and crafters with the opportunity, sites and services to
market their products directly to the consumer;
enhance the quality of life in the Willamette Valley by providing our
community with a vibrant, environmentally responsible gathering place;
strengthen and encourage community support for our local economy.
