Pendleton Round-Up ready to ‘Let ’er Buck’
P
endleton — perhaps the country’s
most authentic Western lifestyle
vacation destination — will once again
welcome guests from across the
country to the Pendleton Round-Up, to
be held this year from Sept. 10 through
Sept. 13. Fortunately for Mid-Columbia
residents, this highly acclaimed
celebration of Western culture is just an
hour away from the Tri-Cities.
Visitors today still drive into
Pendleton on routes established during
the Oregon Trail emigration and are met
with genuine hospitality. After harvest
each year, residents of the Pendleton
area come down from the rolling
eastern Oregon wheat fields to celebrate the round-up of cowboys,
Indians, family members and friends,
both new and old. History and culture
are on full display in recognition of the
indomitable spirit of horses and the
men and women who ride them.
The 104th annual Pendleton RoundUp will be America’s largest four-day
PRCA Rodeo, but it remains true to its
origins. The action takes place on a
pristine grass infield, where colorful
wooden chute gates create a picturesque backdrop. It’s where top cowboy
competitors recline in the sun and
cheer each other on, just as they might
have done 100 years ago.
Native Americans
The Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla
Walla Indians were rounding up horses
in the area long before
the rodeo began. Tribal
participation at the
Pendleton Round-Up
provides historic cultural
context with a living
display of more than 300
tipis, or tepees, plus
traditional foods, music
and artisans.

Although the rodeo
arena heats up starting

activities all week long.

Continues from Page 2
For the past seven years, local
ranchers and their most artistic cows,
sheep, and a few deer have been
creating tongue-crafted art in the fields
and pastures around Baker City for this
annual art auction on the third Saturday in September. Sales of their art
help raise funds for the Oregon Health
and Science University Parkinson’s
Research Center.
Local farm supply stores donate the
salt blocks and area ranchers deliver
them to the artists throughout the
summer. The finished masterpieces
are collected the week before the
auction. Individual sculptures are
displayed during the social hour
leading up to the auction, and visitors
vote for their favorite “Best of Show”
creation. In case of a tie — and, oddly,
there is almost always a tie — a steer
named Hank from the Thomas Angus
Ranch is on hand to cast the deciding
vote.

variety of topics centered around
orphan-related issues and victimized
children.

held at the Three Rivers Convention
Center. Guests will have a choice of
three interesting dinner options, which

vision and purpose of Heart for the
Fatherless is presented.

Ky., is donating his talent as MC for
the evening. Monty got his start at
KNDU in the Tri-Cities and is an

were John Fraire, WSU vice
president of student affairs who
also has a background in theatre,
and AnaMaria Correa, director of
education at Ballet Hispanico —
the nation’s leading Latino dance
organization.
“The students bring an incredible amount of enthusiasm and
creativity to the process,” Fraire
said. “With the formal training we
provide and a lot of rehearsing,
they blossom into confident
orators who deeply inspire their
audiences with their stories.”
Fraire and WSU outreach
specialists met with high school
students. Those who expressed
interest were asked to submit
writing samples describing their
personal backgrounds and
aspirations.
Once the students were
selected, Fraire and Correa
worked with them to determine
which of their life experiences
they wanted to explore through
theatre.
“It is inspiring to see two dozen
young men and women come
together to create an original and
significant performance piece,”
said Gail Siegel, director of WSU
Performing Arts. “The enthusiasm
of the youth and their mentors is
palpable. You can literally feel the
commitment of every single
person in the room.”

With a rallying cry of “Joy Now!”
MarchFourth throws itself into highly
energetic musical and visual spectacles that elevate the live concert to a
new level of entertainment.
Although M4 began as a Fat Tuesday party in Portland in 2003, it has
grown into an international touring act.
Having played for crowds ranging in
size from a small nightclub to 7,000seat arenas, the members of M4 are

musicians has been known to parade
down Main Street before taking the
stage). M4 takes audiences on a
musical journey from the swamps of
Louisiana to the gypsy camps of
Eastern Europe and the African jungle
by way of Brazil, echoing the deepest
grooves of American funk, rock and
jazz, then bringing it all together in
cinematic fashion with high-stepping

Craig T. Nelson to attend Ellensburg Film Festival
S
ome of the best moments in the
10-year history of the Ellensburg
Film Festival have been the questionand-answer sessions that accompany
the films. The festival is known for
having filmmakers and film stars
present to talk about their work and
their careers. Workshops and brownbag events with directors, cinematographers and students are part of the
festival experience.
The lineup for this year’s festival on
Oct. 3, 4 and 5 includes a celebrity
honoree, Craig T. Nelson, who has
roots in Washington State and graduated from Central Washington University in Ellensburg. Nelson has starred
in such films as Poltergeist, and his TV
credits include starring roles in the
series “Coach” and “Parenthood.” He
will talk with the audience, answer
questions and reflect on his life in the
entertainment industry.
Originally from Spokane, Nelson
began his Hollywood career as a
comedy writer. Of his many film
credits, his favorite is The Family
Stone, which will be shown at the
festival, followed by a personal appearance and interview. There will also be a
late-night screening of Poltergeist on
Friday and a free screening of The
Incredibles on Saturday at the
Ellensburg Public Library.
The Ellensburg Film Festival began
in 2004 and has grown to become a
major film and arts event. Last year,
more than 2,000 people attended and
saw 53 films from all over the world,
including full-length theatrical features,
documentaries and short films.
Genres vary greatly, as do the
filmmakers. The festival receives
hundreds of submissions and picks the
best work, whether it’s from veterans or
With support from Central Washington University, the festival developed
the “Show Us Your Shorts” competition, a three-day event twice a year
that brings out the best in student films
and local creativity. Another festival
partner is the Ellensburg Public
Library, which sponsors the “Teen Film
Workshop,” a popular program with 30
teens participating this year.
The three-day event also includes
the First Friday Art Walk, featuring
Ellensburg art galleries and winetasting venues, and the Saturdayevening celebration, when film talent
and audience members can socialize
and talk about what they’ve seen.
Festival passes that include admission to all screenings, plus a free
t-shirt, are $50 ($40 if you hurry and
accept the early-bird offer). The
“SixTix” deal is $30 and allows you to
choose any six festival films. Singlefilm tickets are $6, or $3 with a valid
student ID. Advance tickets can be
purchased online through

films such as Man On Wire, Blackfish,
Beasts Of The Southern Wild and

year’s favorite, Cement Suitcase, now
available on Video on Demand.

have films made in Washington state
represented. This year, the festival will
premiere the documentary Dryland, set
in the town of Lind and filmed over a
decade. It traces a young man’s quest
for victory in the famous Lind Combine
Demolition Derby while battling to save
a threatened way of life. Steel and
ingenuity are pitted against rural
decline, accompanied by a wonderful
original score by Mark Orton. Director
Sue Arbuthnot will be present for the

Sunnyside’s annual ‘Sunshine Days’ will be Oct. 3, 4 and 5
For the first time last year,
Sunnyside’s Sunshine Days celebration was moved from late September to
early October to avoid a conflict with
the Central Washington State Fair.
Now you can enjoy both, and given
our region’s reputation for year-round
sunshine, October is usually a great
time to celebrate sunny weather. Along
with Cinco de Mayo and the Christmas
Lighted Farm Implement Parade,
Sunshine Days is an anticipated event
held in Sunnyside every year.
The weekend coincides with
Sunnyside High School’s homecoming
weekend, so events kick off with a
Friday-night tailgate party on Oct. 3.
Details will be forthcoming, so check
online for updates.
Saturday events include an early
morning 5K and 10K run/walk, a
breakfast and open house sponsored
by the volunteer firefighters, a downtown parade and a celebration with
entertainment, bouncy houses and
recreational activities for the kids, and
a variety of vendors and craft booths.
The Sunshine Days Parade will start
at 10 a.m. Saturday and wind its way
through the downtown area. It begins
at the high school on the corner of 16th
Ave. and Edison.
The Regal Majesty Pageant for
young girls is an annual event during
Sunshine Days. It will be held at
3 p.m. on Saturday.
The entertainment, vendor booths
and much more will be going all that
day. The high-school homecoming
dance will be held that evening.
On Sunday, Oct. 5, the Miss
Sunnyside Pageant will take place at
1 p.m.

“This is a very exciting event for
Toyota Center,” said Jude Strode,

just 20 dates in the United States for
this tour and we got one of them.”
Not everyone is familiar with electronic dance music, or EDM, but
there’s an entire music culture that
embraces it.
The names of the artists sound like
the characters in a sci-fi movie.
Headliners include Adventure Club,
Destroid and Flux Pavilion, with
support from Doctor P, Excision, Zeds
Dead, UZ, Caked Up, Downlink and
Terravita.
For a festival of this size, the tour

Carousel of Dreams may open this month
The Carousel of Dreams in the Southridge Sports Complex in Kenneick is
expected to open this month. The project began in 2003 when the City of
Kennewick purchased the antique horses, but it was stalled for years and was
nearly scuttled altogether until it was taken over by volunteers with the Three
Rivers Carousel Foundation in 2012. All the horses have been restored to their
former glory, the mechanics are new and safe, and the carousel is housed in a
brand-new building. For information, or to donate to the nonprofit foundation, visit

New Sin City movie is for those who like blood!
I
By Aubrey Lanlois
n the way Sin City catered to a
specific audience of moviegoers, A
Dame to Kill For doesn’t disappoint its
eccentric masses who have a passion
for film noir. With near constant action,
hyper-stylized visuals and intense,
goreific violence, this movie was a good
sequel to its groundbreaking predecessor that we had come to love.
A Dame to Kill For gives its watchers
four storylines this go-round — two that
prequel Sin City and two that sequel it.
We are back in the violent world of
Basin City, but this time we go inexplicably deeper into the maniacal hellworld we originally fell in love with.
There’s Marv, Nancy, Dwight McCarthy,
Johnny the Gambler and several other
unforgettable characters. Each personification, though always overdone, is
expected and leaves you hanging on
the edge of your seat as you wait for
the bullets to fly and blood to pour.
There are the old-as-time themes of
corruption, vengeance and scantily-clad
broads. There are too many guns to
count, enough bullets to arm a Third
World country to the teeth, and tantalizing explosions of heads full of brains.
Marv is found first, regaining consciousness on a highway near the
rundown projects. He’s surrounded by
Eva Green plays a femme fatale in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.
dead bodies and a police car, and has
no memory of how he got there. He
spends the next little while wading
through the muck of the projects until
he makes it to the inevitable leader.
There are, of course, some low,
breathy puns, a slice to the throat and
more death and destruction.
Johnny comes next, being a cocky,
gambling punk just arrived in the hellbound city. He wins big at some slot
machines, makes his way to the
backroom poker games, and meets
evil incarnate, Senator Roark. After
relieving the senator of his money and
ignoring the heeded warnings to leave
town, Johnny finds himself in a predicament —getting shot at, getting
bones broken and being mugged, not
to mention learning that he’s Roark’s
illegitimate son. He swears revenge.
In the chapter carrying the same
name as the movie, Dwight’s past
haunts him, the demons tearing at his
mind and soul. He finds an old flame is
being hunted and is determined to
rescue the damsel in distress, Marv is
recruited. There’s plenty more violence
and heavily sexualized situations, all
leading to a plot twist that no one saw
coming.
Finally, four years after the original
Sin City’s setting, Nancy is found
struggling to cope with John Hartigan’s
suicide. She has turned into a raging
alcoholic and vows vengeance on the
much-hated Senator Roark, but while
she wallows in her despair, Hartigan’s
ghost watches over her. He struggles
to reach her, managing, if only barely,
to dissuade Nancy from killing the
senator in a bar. Again, Marv is the
tough guy everyone begs for help, and
after Nancy undergoes some personal
changes, they set out to kill the most
reviled character in all of Basin City.
A Dame to Kill For is not for the faint
of heart by any means. Its insatiable
bloodlust, overly graphic scenes and
hyper-sexualized themes make this
movie strictly for later teens and older.
While some who aren’t diehard fans of
the Sin City franchise may find this
movie over the top and completely
unrealistic — as it absolutely is —
those who find pleasure in these types
of films will not be disappointed.
If I Stay: A tearjerker for girls, a big yawn for their boyfriends
By Aubrey Langlois
If I Stay is based on the 2009 novel
by the acclaimed author Gayle Forman
(see page 21). Girls will watch it tearyeyed and their boyfriends will roll their
eyes at another cliché, teenage chickflick they are being forced to sit
through. That’s right, it’s a romantic
melodrama!
The main character, Mia Hall, is
played by the just-breaking-intomainstream-acting Chloe Grace
Moretz. Mia is a charming, albeit
introverted young woman who is a cello
virtuoso and faces the difficult decision
of pursuing a musical career at Juilliard
or remaining with the ruggedly handsome love of her life, Adam Wilde,
played by Jamie Blackley.
As with any wildfire romance among
the high-school-aged generation, Mia
and Adam’s tumultuous romance has
its ups and down, and as with any
normal, youthful relationship, it’s
predictable. Mia goes through the
typical denials at the thought of any
male finding any interest in her, and
when she does manage to score that
one hunk every girl in her school
constantly dreams of, her insecurities
make for a roller-coaster ride that’s
difficult to understand for everyone
watching.
Most of the drama begins abnormally
early in the movie, actually within the
first 15 minutes, laying out a particularly morbid tone that ultimately makes
everything to come foreseeable. There
are simply no unexpected twists or
turns that break this movie out of its
stereotypical mold or set it apart from
other movies like it.
Chloe Grace, Jamie Blackley: playful
selfie but little chemistry in If I Stay.
During a normal family excursion,
most everyone Mia holds dear is torn
from her grasp in a terrible car accident that leaves the young teenager in
a coma. Her life hangs by a thin
thread, and while her battered, physical body remains motionless, her
dreamy spirit wanders. She goes
through phases of memories from her
past, and tear-jerking moments in the
grim present, where everyone who
remains earth-bound visits her and
waits.
In the end, without spoiling the
movie for those bent on seeing it, Mia
must make the most important choice
of her young life. She must decide to
either let herself die to be with her
family, or choose life with the loved
ones who remain behind.
While the movie was decent as
something to watch on a lazy weekend
with girlfriends, If I Stay fell flat on
delivering the all-encompassing, heartwrenching performance that was
promised in its trailers, commercials
and actor interviews.
Even though music figures in the
plot, moviegoers will find the confusing
blend of rock, heavy metal, some
bohemian reggae and instrumental
music is overwhelming to the senses,
and not in a good way.
Some moments may bring a twinge
of empathy for Mia during her tragic car
wreck, but where those saddening
moments draw you in, the odd, almost
awkward lack of any real chemistry
between Mia and Adam throws you
out. Chloe Moretz and Jamie Blackley,
while doing their best, fall very short in
offering a sincere, genuine performance
that leaves no doubt as to their love for
one another. It seems that Mia’s
parents have more of a spark in their
love than their daughter does, making
Adam and Mia’s relationship difficult to
believe in most scenes where they are
together.
So, aside from lackluster acting and
a completely predictable plot line, the
movie was decent. Not great. Not
good. Just decent. For all intents and
purposes, If I Stay is good for wasting
time if that’s your aim, but don’t bring
the macho boyfriend. He just might
unhinge a jaw from yawning.

Science fiction, changing planet play roles
in novel that’s more about relationships
The Age of Miracles: a Novel, by
Karen Thompson Walker, Random
House, 2012
E
By JoDean Jordan
verything is status quo in a
California suburb for 12-year-old
Julia. Her mother, a former actress, is
dramatically involved in the life of her
daughter, and over-reactive to every
detail of her life. Her father, a doctor, is
level-headed and struggles to deal with
his eccentric wife, and Julia is herself a
quiet, intelligent girl managing her first
crush and the rocky terrain of junior
high,
One Saturday, Julia and her family
awake to find that the rotation of the
earth has begun to slow. Day by day it
gets slower and days get longer, until
the previous reality no longer exists.
With “the slowing” come innumerable
situations that science dictates would
be all too real. Suddenly things that
held much importance before “the
slowing” cease to matter, and ideas
that were science fiction become a
new reality.
The earth is thrown into chaos as
the change in the gravitational pull
begins to make people sick and make
animals behave irrationally. The food
supply begins to diminish. Blackouts
are caused by the extreme use of
sunlamps and artificial heating, and the
population is thrown into a panic as
time continues to slow, with no end in
sight.
In an attempt to curb the hysteria,
the government declares that everyone
must remain on the 24-hour clock.
Sales of blackout curtains and sleeping pills skyrocket as people attempt
to live their lives as they
always had. Despite the
efforts of the government, a faction of the
population declares itself
to be “real timers” who
attempt to change their
internal clocks to match
the new daylight hours.
This group of rebels is
treated with disdain and
mocked by the “clock
people.” As time continues to slow and the
world’s population
adapts in its own way,
the issues of adolescence are magnified for
Julia.
This story is told from the point of
view of Julia, who has a knack for
observing the world. In the midst of an
evolving planet, she faces the same
issues as every adolescent. Seth, her
first love, is ever-present and character-shaping. Julia wonders if their
relationship would be the same had
the earth not changed.
She deals with the dissolving
marriage of her parents, who didn’t see
eye to eye before “the slowing” and
with the transformation of their new
world are sure to go their separate
ways.
She struggles with the paranoia of
her aging grandfather, who is positive
that “the slowing” is a government
conspiracy destined to control the
minds of the population. She has to
navigate friendships and
school while wondering
what the true miracles
really are and if what
she used to worry about
is still relevant. The
world is thrown into an
upheaval, and so is
everyone in it.
Karen Thompson
Walker’s first novel is
written for young adults,
but carries an appeal for
the older generation. The
reader can relate to the
characters as they
traverse their new world.
They are written in a
familiar way that makes
it seem as if the reader could possibly
know them outside of the confines of
the book. The explanation of “the
slowing” is written so that the concept
becomes a cause for concern. The
science behind “the slowing” is never
explained, and it would have added a
realistic touch to the overall effectiveness of the novel.
This book can be downloaded
through Amazon Kindle for $9.15, via
iBook for $9.50, downloaded to a Nook
for $11.99, or purchased in paperback
at Barnes and Noble for $9.72. For

Teen in critical condition reevaluates her life in If I Stay
If I Stay: a Novel, by Gayle Forman,
Penguin Group, 2009
By JoDean Jordan
A snow day turns into an unspeakable tragedy for 17-year-old Mia when
an innocent outing results in the
deaths of her parents and brother. The
car accident claims their lives immediately, leaving Mia in critical condition in
an Oregon hospital, fighting for her life.
Mia tells her story in an out-of-bodyexperience in which she is a witness
to her own mangled body being
removed from the wreckage. She
observes herself as she struggles for
life every day, and watches her visitors,
including her first love, Adam.
Many compassionate people attend
to Mia’s failing body, but one nurse
whispers something into her ear that
had never occurred to her. It’s her
decision if she chooses to stay or go.
This revelation empowers Mia as she
mentally reviews experiences in her life
that define who she is. The novel is full
of flashbacks that reveal Mia’s life
experiences, and little by
little her character and
personality are exposed.
The reader begins to
understand why Mia might
want to quit when her
parents and beloved
brother are gone.
Mia had always been
different from her parents,
who are fun and outgoing.
Mia is a brilliant cellist and
has been accepted to
Julliard. Before the accident, she is wrestling with
the choice of going or staying with her
family and Adam. Adam is a musician
in a blossoming alternative rock band,
and he anticipates a life of fame and
fortune. Should she travel all the way
across the country and start her new
life, leaving behind her first love, to
make her way in the
sophisticated world of a
Julliard student? Suddenly her decision turns
into a much simpler one:
should I live or should I
die? She questions
whether Adam will be
enough. She wonders if
attending Julliard will help
to cure the ache from her
absent parents and
brother. It’s when her
grandfather gives her
permission to stop fighting
that Mia has to decide
what will be best for her in
the long run.

Local authors present their work at Pendleton Arts Center
Judith Quaempts and Peg Willis,
both local writers with recently published books, will be featured at the
Pendleton Art Center’s First Draft
Writers’ Series on Thursday, Sept. 18.
The event is free and open to the
public.
Quaempts’ literary mystery novel A
Place Called Winter is set in familiar
territory. Though Winter is a fictitious
village just off the Umatilla Indian
Reservation, many readers will picture
Gibbon, where the author, her late
husband and their children once lived.
Willis’ Building the Columbia River
Highway: They Said It Couldn’t Be
Done grew out of long familiarity with
the waterfalls, stone works, picnic
tables, creeks and drinking fountains
of the historic Columbia River highway.
Four years of research led to her book,
which is filled with historical photographs and is now in its second
retirement, and both have worked with
writers’ groups. Quaempts found an
online Internet Writers Workshop when
she realized she couldn’t drive to
Portland every week to take part in the
Willamette Writers Workshop. “I can’t
say enough good things about it,”
Quaempts said.
Willis’s other credits include newspaper feature stories and op-ed pieces
as well as stories and articles for
magazines and trade journals.
Quaempts’ work has appeared in
journals such as Pemmican, Persimmon Tree, and The Corner Club Press.

Back-to-school can mean ‘Let’s take dance lessons!’
W
By Beth Trost-Hayter
hen September comes around,
it’s back to school for the kids.
Parents can breathe a sigh of relief —
or sorrow, depending on the kids —
but some parents think about
taking classes themselves, and some
choose dance lessons!
Empty-nesters, too, are winding up
summer vacations and are ready to
settle into improving their dance skills!
We hear that we should never stop
learning as we age, and that includes
physical and mental learning. Dancing
involves both.
I hear from non-dancers that when
they attend a wedding, they have to
avoid the dance floor because they
can’t dance with a partner. They can
free-style dance, of course, and many
are happy with that. Others are
waltzing around the room or stepping
out with a Frank Sinatra-type foxtrot,
or some may be doing a fun jitterbug
swing, all with a dance partner in tow.
These dances are the mainstay of the
dance floor, and I encourage everyone
to learn enough dances to enjoy a
wedding reception, a company
Christmas party, a high-school reunion
or just an evening out with friends.
Ballroom, swing, Latin and country
dancing are sought after by the over-35
couples and singles.
I provide an actual dance venue for
students to practice their lessons, so
they don’t need to worry about having
a place to dance after investing time
and money in lessons. I provide a
place for people from beginners to the
advanced to come and practice their
dance skills. It’s the Pasco Eagles
Club, for members and guests on
Friday nights from 6 to 9 p.m. I select
the music and provide a playlist that
suggests certain dances for certain
songs, and every person gets a
playlist. Being a DJ is another part of
my dance business.
I hear from ladies that their husbands don’t like to dance and therefore
won’t take lessons. The best thing I
can offer is to see if hubby will go with
you to “watch” people dancing and
perhaps include dinner in the offering
to ease the objection of watching
something he doesn’t like.
You could say, “if we could go out
to dinner at a certain club where we
knows and watches the person dance,
he may think, “If he can do it, I should
be able to do it too.” It is better that he
watches both the expert dancers and
the beginners so he can compare
himself to both of them at the beginning
stages of learning, and witness how far
he can progress by watching the expert
dancers. (We have both beginners and
very advanced dancers at our Fridaynight dance venue.)

dancers, you need to be ready to

The Turn of the Screw to be
produced by Richland Players
The most frightening stories are
those that are created in the imagination. In the upcoming Richland Players
production of The Turn of the Screw,
two actors bring the classic Henry
James ghost story to life.
“We wanted to produce a play this
year that would thrill our audiences and
get them ready for Halloween,” said
producer Ted Miller. “We’ve cast two
great local actors to bring this hairraising story to life.”
The story is about a young governess sent to a lonely English manor to
care for two recently orphaned children. When she starts seeing the
ghosts of the former caretaker and his
mistress who died under mysterious
circumstances, she feels bound to
protect the children before it’s too late.
Are the ghosts real, or are they a
product of her fevered imagination?
The play is directed by Robert
Hanson. Local actor Kelley-Margaret
Smith will play the governess and
Chris Wilson will become all the other
characters in the story.
The Turn of the Screw will also be
entered into the Washington State
Community Theatre Association’s
Kaleidoscope festival, held every two
years at different locations across the
state.
Kaleidoscope will be hosted by the
Richland Players next March with
more than 10 productions from across
the state competing to advance to the
next level of the national festival cycle.
The Turn of the Screw opens on
Oct. 3 and will run for three weekends.

Jessy J will bring her smooth jazz sound to Benton City.
Riverfront Concerts
presents ‘Jazz in
the Vineyard’
‘Reigning queen of contemporary
sax’ will play Sept 19 concert
Jessy J, whose blend of Latin influence and
contemporary jazz have infused smooth jazz with
a new and spicy whiff of fresh air, will entertain at
Cañon de Sol Winery in Benton City on Sept. 19
at 6 p.m.
The chart topping, award winning Jessy J, who
recently collaborated on her latest album with Jeff
Lorber, Norman Brown, Joe Sample and Ray
Parker, Jr., also routinely appears on “American
Idol” and “The Voice.”
Jessy J’s musical heritage and upbringing,
inspired with Latin, samba, R&B and jazz music,
helps her connect with her audiences. Her music,
better known as “jazz therapy for the soul,” has
made Jessy J one of the hottest names in jazz. In
addition to being featured on multiple magazine
covers, Jessy has been recognized for the “Debut
Album of the Year,” and “Song of the Year” by both
R&B and Billboard Magazines. She has held a
number-one spot on the smooth jazz charts for as
long as eight consecutive weeks.
As if that were not enough, Jessy is a former
child prodigy who started playing the piano at age
4 and became a statewide champion by the time
she was 15 — while also playing the sax, flute
and guitar at competitive levels. As an accomplished singer and dancer, she has also sung
background vocals for Michael Bolton, played with
the Henry Mancini Jazz Orchestra and performed
in the off-Broadway production of Blast!
Jessy J’s albums are infused with Latin, R&B
and jazz influences, and they all come to her
effortlessly. She continues to gain “smooth
momentum” with every new hit.
Tickets to Jazz in the Vineyard are $95 and
include food and wine, all inclusive. The intimate
venue is limited to 300, and tickets are pre-sale
only, online at riverfrontconcerts.com.
Along with Jessy J, the concert will also feature
Seattle guitarist Michael Powers, plus Eddie
Manzanarres and Cafe Blanco.

Tulips (mostly) out for
Barnard Griffin Winery
F
By Andy Perdue
Reprinted with permission from
Great Northwest Wine
or the first time in its lengthy
history, Barnard Griffin is making a
significant change to its label. The
winery, now in its 31st year, is moving
from its eye-catching label of colorful
tulips to a more classic and austere
image.
“We increasingly found that the tulip
label was closing doors for us outside
of the Northwest,” said winemaker Rob
Griffin, who owns the winery with his
wife, Deborah Barnard. “It’s time to do
something different to re-energize
Barnard Griffin and give our national
distribution a better chance.”
The change is nearly identical to
what L’Ecole No. 41 in the Walla Walla
Valley went through three years ago,
when it moved from a beloved
children’s drawing of the schoolhouse
to a label that has become an instant
classic. At the time, owner Marty
Clubb said he was having difficulty
getting national placement for his
wines because the label was viewed in
a similar vein as the “critter” labels that
were all the rage, particularly with
imports.
Since then, L’Ecole has enjoyed
much stronger national and international sales. And the winery’s longtime
fans quickly accepted the new design
after a brief period of lamenting the
switch.
That’s what Griffin is hoping for, too.

Preston Wine Cellars in Pasco, and

six years after he arrived from California.
Soon after, Griffin moved to the then new
Hogue Cellars in Prosser, where he was
head winemaker for several years. He left
in 1991 to dedicate his effort on Barnard
Griffin, a winery he has built into a
65,000-case brand that is as well known
for its quality as for its modest prices.
Griffin said the original idea for the
tulip label was multifaceted. Deborah
Barnard wanted something floral that
didn’t have an odor, and tulips fit that.
Additionally, the couple visited the Skagit
Valley — famous for its tulips — while
they were dating. So the tulips had a
personal connection as well as a
Northwest flair.
And back in the early 1980s, most
Washington wineries had labels with
images of their winery or their vineyard
— of which Barnard Griffin had neither at
the time. The current tasting room,
restaurant, art gallery and winemaking

Ms. Rhoda’s Wine Garden will hold grand opening
“The atmosphere is very laid-back,
like relaxing in your best friend’s
home,” said Alan Casebere. He was
talking about Ms Rhoda’s Wine Garden
in Richland, a brand-new business that
has been carefully planned for years
and is now set to hold a grand opening
on Sept. 6.
Casebere and Rhoda Williams are
the co-creators, co-owners and business partners of Ms. Rhoda’s. They
seem to have found the perfect space
at 702-B Jadwin Ave., where there’s
plenty of parking and people coming
and going from the Richland Parkade.
And they created the perfect cozy,
homey atmosphere that the over-40
crowd prefers when they’re sipping
wine and eating from a light menu.
Rhoda Williams worked in the wine
industry for about six years before
deciding to open the wine garden. She
knows what people enjoy about wine,
and she serves it in many variations —
in sangria, mimosas, wine spritzers,
cocktails and smoothies — along with
appetizers, antipasto and desserts.
One of her specialties is champagne or
sparkling wine enjoyed with freshly
made local cheesecake.

The Many Forts Walla Walla
By James Payne
After passing a historic marker
with that designation at Wallula
Junction and then the Fort Walla
Walla Museum sign upon nearing
the city of Walla Walla, visitors do
wonder. Adding to their confusion,
local guides may mention a Fort
Walla Walla that once stood in the
center of what is now downtown.
Actually, there were six Fort
Walla Wallas, three fur-trade posts
and three military posts. Fortunately,
no two were occupied simultaneously.
First, an early fur-trade post on
the Columbia near the mouth of the
Walla Walla River was renamed Fort
Walla Walla after its acquisition by
the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1821.
This structure burned down. The
second Fort Walla Walla was built
there and continued to function as
an economic hub for the region until
it, too, burned down in 1841.

collection depicts Fort Walla Walla

rebuilt the fort again in 1842, this
time of adobe brick. This post was
destroyed during the general
violence that followed the region’s

Excursion train gets new paint
During the recess between summer
and fall seasons, the Eagle Cap
Excursion Train will receive a longawaited paint job. The silver will be
freshened on the passenger cars, and
their stripes — currently a dingy black
— will be painted bright blue with
yellow accents to match the engines.
Crisp Colors of La Grande will do the
masking and fine work, and volunteers
will assist with prepping and painting
the silver portions of the cars. In
addition, the cars and engines will
receive an acid wash.
The project is being coordinated by
the Friends of the Joseph Branch, with
board member David Arnold heading up
the project committee. Funds have
been donated from private and business sources, including generous gifts
from Anderson Perry & Associates,
Bearco Enterprises, Stephen Adams
and Baretto Manufacturing. Also

1855 Treaty Council, and because the
fur trade was waning, it was not rebuilt.
The Treaty of 1855 aroused widespread opposition and unrest among
many of the tribal people, who lost
much of their traditional lands. Inaccurate reports about the treaty brought a
rush of Euro-American settlers into the
region, adding to the pressures. Then,
at a council in 1856, Washington
Territorial Governor Isaac Stevens told
the Indian people that if they were not
happy, they could go to war.
A few miles away from this council,
up Mill Creek, Lieutenant Colonel
Edward Steptoe and his federal troops
set up camp. After a brief skirmish with
some Indian people, the soldiers built a
stockade and blockhouse and named
the site Fort Walla Walla.
A short while later, Steptoe built a
larger, temporary Fort Walla Walla on
the old treaty grounds in what is now
downtown Walla Walla. This second
military fort included officers’ quarters
and enlisted men’s barracks, plus a
storehouse, blockhouse, hospital, and
stables. This location continued to be
used while a permanent fort was
constructed on a ridge one mile to the
southwest.
The final U.S. Military Fort Walla
Walla was completed in 1858. Originally situated on a one-square-mile
military reserve, the fort was used
primarily as a cavalry outpost. Soldiers
from the post were involved in the
Battle of Tohotonimme (“Steptoe’s
Battle”) near Rosalia, Wash., and in an
expedition north of the Snake River led
by Colonel George Wright.
During the 1870s, troops from the
fort fought in the regional Indian Wars
including the Nez Perce War’s battles
of White Bird Canyon and Cottonwood
Canyon in 1877.
After the 1870s, the presence of the
fort helped maintain peace between the
Euro-Americans and the Homeland
Tribes. Soldiers introduced baseball to
this area, participated in community
social gatherings, and married local
women. While positive interaction
between the soldiers and townsfolk
was common, there were a few serious
altercations. One incident led to
soldiers lynching a local resident who
shot a trooper during an argument.
In addition to regular cavalry, a troop
of Indian soldiers was stationed at Fort
Walla Walla from 1891 to 1893, and
the 9th Cavalry African-American
Buffalo soldiers were headquartered
here from 1902 to 1904. The fort closed
in 1910 but reopened briefly in 1917 for
recruits who served as the 146th Field
Artillery during World War I.
The third U.S. military Fort Walla
Walla was one of the longest occupied
posts in the Northwest, and it had a
major economic impact on the area.
McCaw Army Hospital, built on its
grounds during World War II, served
thousands of sick and wounded
soldiers.
Fifteen original structures and
significant archaeological deposits from
the third U.S. military Fort Walla Walla
have survived on the grounds of the
Jonathan M. Wainwright Memorial VA
Medical Center.

What to do when you produce too much produce!
I
By Micki Perry
f you have a vegetable garden, there
usually comes a time in August or
September — or even in October —
when your garden is overflowing with
produce and you ask yourself, “What
was I thinking?”
You planted those plants back in the
spring in a fit of enthusiasm, and you
wanted to be sure you had plenty of
plants to produce abundant crops, but
you never expected quite so much
abundance. You wish you didn’t have
such a green thumb because, frankly,
you are getting tired of zucchini and
green beans and even home-grown
tomatoes.
There are lots of jokes about the
dilemma of too much produce, like the
one about the folks at a certain church.
They kept their car windows rolled up in
the parking lot on even the hottest days
of summer, because they were afraid
fellow parishioners would try to gift
them with overgrown zucchinis and
they had enough of those at home.
If you grow zucchini or crookednecked squash you know how quickly
they can become overgrown, and you
can only grate so much of it for zucchini bread. You can probably find
hundreds of recipes online for summer
squash, but pretty soon you get tired of
eating and dealing with those particular
veggies and you just want to be done
with them! I usually feed them to my
chickens but not everyone has chickens or other livestock that will eat
unwanted vegetables. The best solution
to the problem of too much produce is
to give it away.
We all have friends, and not all of our
friends have vegetable gardens. For
those who don’t grow their own, homegrown produce is a wonderful gift. This
year, because I broke my leg and then
my hip, I cut way back on my vegetable garden. I have only five tomato

actions that would benefit you most.
Wouldn’t life be wondrous if you took
action? And wouldn’t life be bleak in
the opposite direction?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe
you’ll feel a bit clueless, but embrace
that — know-it-alls are tedious. It
takes a bigger person to admit that
most of it is unknowable and then try
to understand anyway. Besides, not
understanding gives you more to study.
Your curiosity will lead you to a new
friend.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re at
risk of becoming dreadfully serious and
uptight. That’s why losing your sense
of purpose will actually be a positive
thing. If you start to think you are
wasting your time, take this as a good
sign. Decompression is necessary.
There are things you only will get to
see if you commit to wandering
aimlessly.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Anyone
who’s ever suffered through a rotten
birthday party knows good times don’t
have to produce good feelings. And
anyone who’s ever triumphed through a
catastrophe knows that bad times
don’t have to produce bad feelings.
You’ll be strong in your ability to
choose how to feel.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll get
the chance to state your position and
needs to someone who can do something about them. Don’t offer up your
version of the solution — it will be less
than what is offered to you if you leave
a blank. Give others a chance to
respond, and they will be quite generous.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
What’s stressful to you is a real thing.
Don’t ignore that. Maybe it seems like
you’re the only one bothered, but even
if that’s true, why should it matter?
When you acknowledge what causes
you stress and seek avoidance or
coping mechanisms, you make
yourself happier. Then the others
around you will get happier, too.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
When people are too nice, it makes
you skeptical. Maybe you earned this
niceness in some way you don’t give
yourself credit for. Or maybe you’re
paying for it in some way you don’t
understand. Poke around and figure
this one out. Get greater insight about
the currencies you’re trading.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Sure, they are happy with what you do,
but they don’t remember to tell you as
often as you probably need to hear it.
Upcoming praise will make up for that
somewhat. You deserve it, and you
won’t let it go to your head, either.
These well-earned compliments will

WSU’s Murrow College to
name broadcast building
for alumnus Keith Jackson
T
he Edward R. Murrow College of
Communication will name its
broadcast building in honor of journalist
and sports broadcasting icon Keith
Jackson, a 1954 WSU graduate.
The Facilities Naming Committee at
Washington State University Pullman
has approved the initiative, subject to
final approval by the WSU Board of
Regents this month.
“Beyond Murrow himself, I can think
of no alumnus who better deserves to
have a building in our complex bear his
name,” Murrow Founding Dean
Lawrence Pintak wrote in making the
request on behalf of the college’s
faculty.
Jackson enjoyed a celebrated
broadcast career with ABC Sports
spanning more than 40 years (1966–
2006). During his tenure with the
network he was the first play-by-play
announcer on Monday Night Football
and a fixture on ABC’s Wide World of
Sports.
He coined the term “The Big House”
for Michigan’s stadium and christened
the Rose Bowl “the granddaddy of them
all.” His assignments included coverage of the massacre at the 1972
Munich Olympics Games and, with
Walter Cronkite, reporting from the
1964 Republican National Convention.
Jackson’s distinctive delivery and
down-to-earth manner have been
compared to that of Edward R. Murrow.
Both Jackson and Murrow are graduates of the WSU Department of
Speech, a pre-cursor to the Murrow
College.
A strong supporter of WSU, Jackson
has long helped raise the profile of the
Murrow College. Since graduation, he
has given more than $1 million to the
