Three Rivers Convention Center will
host 36th annual Tri-Cities Wine Festival
M
ore than 60 wineries participate
annually in the Tri-Cities Wine
Festival, the oldest continuously
running judged wine festival in the
Northwest.
This year’s festival will be the 36th
annual event, to be held Nov. 15 at the
Three Rivers Convention Center in
Kennewick. The festival culminates in a
gala tasting event beginning at
6:30 p.m., in which wines from small
boutique wineries are poured side-byside with those from large producers.
More than 300 wines and some
regional microbrews are available for
sampling. Gourmet foods are served by
local restaurants and caterers. A silent
auction of items donated by the wine
industry, society members and local
businesses helps fund scholarships for
students in local viticulture programs.
Results of the judging are announced
during the evening.
The Tri-Cities Wine Festival, originally a fundraiser for the Visitor and
Convention Bureau, has been sponsored by the Tri-Cities Wine Society
since 1990 and has been held at the
convention center since 2010. Wineries
from Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana and Alaska are invited to enter
their products for “blind” judging — that
is, the experienced judges are told only
the year and the category of each wine.
Bronze, silver and gold medals and a
Best of Show award are presented.
Last year’s Best of Show Award went to
Smasme Cellars’ 2010 Mourvèdre.
Hundreds of wines for tasting, some microbrews to sample and a culinary showcase
of complementary foods by local chefs are all part of the gala tasting event at the
Tri-Cities Wine Festival. It starts at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 15.
Tickets to the event are $55 each in
advance or $60 at the door. The ticket
price includes all wine, food and beer
— no scrip purchases required.
Advance tickets are available at the
Toyota Center box office, at all
Ticketmaster outlets such as Fred
Meyer, and at ticketmaster.com. For
phone orders, call (800) 745-3000.
Tickets will also by available at the
door. For groups of 10 or more, call
(509) 737-3706 for group discount
opportunities.
You must be at least 21 years of
age and have photo ID. For information, visit tricitieswinesociety.com.
Start your wedding plan at Three Rivers Bridal Show
Attending a bridal show can make
the process of planning your wedding
easy and fun. The annual Three Rivers
Bridal Show, brought to you by the
Three Rivers Convention Center and
VenuWorks, is one of the best in our
region.
If you’re planning a spring wedding,
start now by attending this annual show
at the Three Rivers Convention Center
in Kennewick on Sunday, Oct. 26, from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can talk to
dozens of vendors about invitations,
wedding cakes, venues, gowns,
bridesmaids’ dresses, decorations,
food, photography and so much more,
all in one day.
It’s also a good way to find discounts, specials and giveaways. You’ll
have a full five hours to gather information, talk to vendors and watch the
fashion show.
The first thing you’ll do at the bridal
show is register. Registration gets your

You might be surprised at how
many opportunities and ideas present

hours. They may come from vendors,
from the fashion shows, or even from
other brides in attendance.
Here are some tips for attending the
show:
Bring your support network —
your fiancé, your mom, future motherin-law, bridesmaids, etc.
Wear comfortable shoes.
Bring a notebook and pen for
taking notes.
Bring preprinted labels with your
name, address, phone number, e-mail
address and wedding date to register
for more information and prize drawings.

Chorus weren’t around when
pirates sailed the Caribbean, but they

7:30 p.m. in Prosser’s Princess

The show will feature lots of pirates
and lots of fun for the audience.
Picture a pirate ship (“Argghh, ahoy,
there be stormy seas ahead”), Adeline,
a damsel in distress (“That one she be
a beauty”), a hero named Hugh
DeMann (“Make way for the handsome
hero”) and the villain, Captain Ed
Banger. As with any good melodrama,
the audience is encouraged to boo,
hiss, and sigh their reactions to the
characters.
The guest performers are members

Creedence Clearwater to play for WSU Dads’ Weekend
S
OTHER WSU DADS’
tu Cook and Doug “Cosmo” Clifford,
founding Creedence Clearwater
Revival members and Rock and Roll
Hall of Famers, have been on quite a
ride for the past 45 years. In 1969, the
original band headlined the Saturdaynight slot at the Woodstock Music
Festival and had three top-10 albums
that year.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited, the
band the two men launched some 25
years later, will play a Dads’ Weekend
concert on Oct. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at
Beasley Coliseum on the Pullman
campus of Washington State University. Football action that weekend pits
WSU against Arizona, and there are
many activities that weekend for the
whole family.
Both students and parents will thrill
to the music of Creedence Clearwater
with its distinctive sound and its
legendary rhythm section. The astounding success of the band has been
driven in part by new generations of
fans that, as Cosmo says, “weren’t
even born when the music came out.”
Older fans love revisiting the songs that
were touchstones of their generation.
The band has toured the world,
produced a platinum-selling album
called “Recollection,” and is now
adding a new chapter to its musical
legacy with vibrant and exhilarating
energy and pure American spirit. The
accolades keep coming, too. Earlier

Concert, a performance entitled “Día de
la Raza,” on Friday, Oct. 10, at 7:30 p.m.

Paul’s Episcopal Church in Kennewick.
For Walla Walla audiences, a performance is scheduled for Saturday,
Oct. 11, at 7:30 p.m. at Walla Walla
University Church in College Place.
The title of the concert is a reference
to Columbus Day and the complex
history of its observance in the Americas. In Latin America and other parts
of the world, Columbus Day is known
as Día de la Raza, commemorating the
first encounters of Europeans and
Native Americans. A fascinating
“Behind the Music” talk will begin 30
minutes before each concert.
The music is sung in both Spanish
and English and is performed both with
accompaniment and a cappella.
Accompanying the Mastersingers in a
presentation of James MacMillan’s
Cantos Sagrados is master organist
Dr. Kraig Scott.

Hot Sardines jazz band to perform
Community Concerts of the
Tri-Cities will sponsor a performance by the Hot Sardines on
Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Faith
Assembly Auditorium in Pasco.
The Hot Sardines invoke the
sounds of nearly a century ago
while staying in step with
current music trends. And while
their roots run deep into American jazz, their music also has
French influences. Frontwoman
“Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol was
born and raised in Paris and
writes songs in both French and
English. Their sound has been described as “wartime Paris via New
Orleans, or the other way around.”
The stride-piano performance will
remind you of Fats Waller, and the
blustery brass is reminiscent of Louis
Armstrong. The foot-stomping jazz
sound of Hot Sardines even includes a
tap dancer, “Fast Eddy” Francisco,
whose feet count as two members of
the rhythm section. This is, as Forbes
The Hot Sardines
Magazine put it, “one of the best jazz
bands in New York today.”
Single tickets will be available at the
door for $25 for adults and $10 for
students. Season tickets for a fiveconcert series that includes Quartteto
Gelato, tenor Anthony Kearns and the
piano artistry of Umi Garrett, are $45
for adults, $20 for students and $105
for a famly.

Through a presentation entitled
“Why Can’t We Get Along: Incivility,

Democracy,” Dr. Cornell Clayton of

ghost story by Henry James. In this
adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher, the story
is told by only two actors with a
minimal set, creating horror in the
minds of the audience. Kelly-Margaret
Smith plays the governess and Christopher Wilson plays all the other
characters in the story.
“I don’t like the gore and violence of
modern horror movies,” said director
Robert Hanson. “A good ghost story
told around a campfire, though, can be
truly terrifying. That’s why I wanted to

TCVCB becomes ‘Visit Tri-Cities’
The Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau (TCVCB) has begun
doing business as Visit Tri-Cities. The
new, simpler name reflects the URL of
the website www.visittri-cities.com.
“The name change will more
effectively communicate our mission
to promote, market and sell the
region as a preferred visitor destination,” explained President and CEO
Kris Watkins. “This change correlates
with a growing international trend to
simplify convention and visitor bureaus’ names. Destination marketing
organizations such as Visit Spokane,
Visit Seattle, Visit Pittsburg and even
Visit London are solidifying this more
succinct and web-search-friendly
change.”
The new name will be phased in as
the inventories of printed materials are
depleted, and Visit Tri-Cities will have
a new logo and color scheme.
Watkins said work is under way to
revamp important marketing tools
including the Visit Tri-Cities website,
the 2015 Official Tri-Cities Visitor
Guide and television commercials.
These will all be released in the first
quarter of 2015.
in the set design — plus no costume
changes or props — this play is as
much storytelling as it is acting.
“This play is unlike any show I’ve
ever done,” said Smith. “It has given
me a larger appreciation for the ability
to convey a setting, emotion, and story
through the use of body language and
vocals alone.”
Wilson agrees. “This is a bonechilling show. The pressure is on us
actors to paint a mental image for our
audiences, making the show so eerie
with the unknown.”
The Turn of the Screw opens Oct. 3
at the Players Theater in the Richland
Parkade. It will run for three weekends.
Following this run, the play will be
entered into the Washington State
Community Theatre Association’s
Kaleidoscope Festival next March,
along with other productions from
around the state.
Show dates are October 3, 4, 10,
11, 17 and 18 at 8 p.m., with matinees
Oct. 12 and 19 at 2 p.m. Tickets are
on sale as of Oct. 1 at $15 for adults

ACT kicks off 19th season with the musical Annie
W
hen the Academy of Children’s
Theatre quietly announced in late
May that auditions for the hit musical
Annie would be held in mid-June, they
had no idea that more than 150 children and adults would show up with
hopes of being a part of the fun.
“We knew the popularity of the stage
show and the movie would be a good
draw, but did not expect such an
amazing turnout,” said Anne Spilman,
ACT managing director and producer of
the show. “Of course, the majority of
those who auditioned were kids ages 7
to 19, which is why we chose this
show. It is a perfect fit for ACT.”
Annie will be performed in the
Richland High Auditorium on Oct. 10,
11,17 and 18 at 7 p.m., and Oct. 12
and 19 at 2 p.m. It has a cast of 65,
and about half of those are performing
for the first time in a live ACT production.
ACT began in 1995 with a small
group of individuals and big dreams.
They called many spaces “home” over
the years, until finally they raised the
money needed to purchase a permanent location on Wellsian Way in
Richland in 2004.
“Having our own building has
enabled us to build ACT into what we
are today — a vibrant, non-profit
organization dedicated to providing
quality theatre opportunities for and by
the young,” said Spilman.
ACT produces five mainstage shows
each year, including two musicals in a
Richland school venue and three plays
at the ACT facility. “The next chapter of
our dream will be to build a 350-seat
theatre in our current building so all our
productions can take place right here,”
said Spilman.
In addition to offering classes to
local kids, ACT is also involved in
many outreach programs. “We have
designed curriculum that we take into
local schools, the Arc and even the
Juvenile Justice Center,” Spilman said.
Tickets to Annie are available online
at academyofchildrenstheatre.org and
at the ACT office. They will also be
available at the door.
3 Rivers Folklife Society
activities for this month
By Micki Perry
During the month of October, 3 Rivers Folklife Society will have two singalongs, an ad hoc coffeehouse, and a Celtic concert. For more information about
the society’s events, call (509) 528-2215 or visit www.3rfs.org.
Singalongs schedule for Oct. 3 and 11
The First Friday Folkie Free-for-all will be held on Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at my
home, 1011 South Dawes in Kennewick. This singalong has a song-circle format
with folks taking turns picking a song for the group to sing. All genres of music
are welcome. The Second Saturday Sea Song Singalong happens on Oct. 11
at Richland’s Round Table Pizza. The singing of mostly sea songs and shanties
begins about 7p.m. There is no charge except for the food and beverages.
Coffeehouse features Larry Murante on Oct. 10
The “orphans” rehearse a scene from the musical Annie. In the foreground is Clara
Stickney as Molly, and at right is Sierra Thomsen portraying the orphan Annie.
Award-winning Seattle singer and songwriter Larry Murante will be the
featured performer at the coffeehouse on Friday, Oct. 10, at All Saints Episcopal
Church, 1312 Kimbal Ave. in Richland. It will begin at 7:30 p.m. with an openmic session. The suggested donation at the
door is $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and
students. If you want to perform, arrive early to
sign up for a slot.
Larry Murante sings about everyday people,
combining socially conscious lyrics with an
upbeat, energetic folk-rock style. Jackson
Brown, Lyle Lovett, Michael McDonald and
others are reflected in his music. He is known
for his mellifluous tenor, a strong rhythmic
guitar style and an engaging stage presence.
His songs are stories of a veteran’s impassioned display of the American flag, or the
backyard mechanic and Vietnam vet who
comes to terms with his life, or the preacher’s
wife who haunts the parsonage of a small
Northwest town.
With his third CD release, “Point Of Entry,”
Larry Murante
Murante has racked accolades that include
the grand prize in the folk category of the international John Lennon Songwriting
Contest. He’s also a recent winner of the West Coast Songwriters International
Songwriting Contest and a two-time first-place winner of the Tumbleweed
songwriting contest. Visit his website at larrymurante.com.
The Blow-Ins sing Irish music on Oct. 18
The Blow-ins, a duo from Ireland with a repertoire of mostly Irish folk songs,
will share their music in concert on Saturday, Oct. 18, at 7:30 p.m. at the
Community Unitarian Universalist Church, 2819 West Sylvester St. in Pasco.
Tickets are available in advance for $11 ($9 for seniors and students) at the
Bookworm in Kennewick and Octopus’ Garden in Richland. They will be $1
more at the door.
“Blow-ins” is an Irish term for strangers or foreigners who pop into town. Dave
Dylan and Tom Canning define blow-ins a “anybody whose ancestors have not
lived within sight of the parish church for at least 10 generations.” Although
neither is originally from Ireland, they are based in Dingle. Dylan moved there
from London on a whim in 2002. After bartending and waiting tables for a year,
he began to perform semi-professionally in bars. Canning is from Connecticut,
but his mother’s family originated on the Dingle Peninsula, which is what took
him there in 2006. The two met in a small music store in Dingle, and they have
been playing music together in Dingle’s hotel bars and pubs ever since.
The Blow-Ins’ Irish songs and a sprinkling of modern and traditional music are
peppered with plenty of banter and bad jokes. They love to interact with the
audience. You can visit their website at www.theblow-ins.com.

Murder and mayhem will
benefit autism resources
A
carefree night of jazz, gin, an
amazing meal and dancing the
Charleston will come to an abrupt halt
when Notorious Nick drops dead on the
floor, and a murderer is on the loose in
this back-alley speakeasy (assembled
in Kennewick).
It will all take place on Oct. 25 at the
Three Rivers Convention Center, and
Nick will die for a good cause. Funds
generated from tickets and donations
will benefit the Carson Kolzig Foundation (CKF), which provides grants
throughout the Tri-Cities region for
families that need resources to assist a
child with autism.
It is up to guests at the “juice joint”
to figure out which no-good mobster is
guilty. You can help catch this criminal
by trading clues with other guests,
gathering information and solving the
crime before the murderer gets away.
Fedoras, flapper dresses and
mobster gear are welcome but not
required, and photos will be available to
commemorate your evening of juicejoint fun.
Autism is becoming more prevalent,
and it affects one in every 68 children.
Though there is no cure, early intervention services, autism screenings,
family support, ongoing workshops
and consistent therapies assist with
the long-term success of each child.
CKF was established in 2004 by
Olie Kolzig, former NHL Hockey
player. He was co-owner of the Tri-City
Americans when his 20-month-old
child was diagnosed with autism. The
family committed to ensuring that
autism families in the Tri-Cities would
have access to essential services
such as those provided via the Responding to Autism Center.
Tickets to this fundraiser are $75
per person or $550 for a table of 8. A
silent auction and a raffle will also take
place.
No more boring date nights for you!
Join your friends at the 3rd annual
Dinner Theatre to benefit the Carson
Kolzig Foundation. This year, it’s to
die for!

1990s revisited
The year 1991 has been dubbed
“The Year That Grunge Broke,” and
while the rest of the world raged on
with power chords and grimy hooks,
the Tri-Cities staged its own musical
revolution with such awesome bands
Carrie Akre
as Diddly Squat, Small, One Eye
Open, Loudermilk and the Ladybird
Unition.
These were just a few of the great
bands that exploded onto the music
scene of the Tri-Cities in the early 90s
and left their indelible mark on the
musical map; hundreds of concerts,
thousands of CDs sold and countless
memories created in such places as
the Hoedown Center, Skate West and
the Benton County Fairgrounds.
Northwest favorites such as Black
Happy, Hammerbox (featuring the TriCities’ own Carrie Akre), and punk rock
pioneers Fugazi all paid visits to the
Tri-Cities and helped shape the thriving
scene.
The music and energy have left a
lasting impression. That’s why on
Friday and Saturday, Oct. 10 and 11,
the Emerald of Siam will host some
groups that celebrate the rich history of
the Tri-Cities music scene of the
1990s. In addition to the shows, an art
exhibit will feature items from the
music scene of that era — photos,
flyers album covers, etc.
The lineup for Oct. 10 includes
Ghost Motor, Social Ritual (re-uniting
for their first show since 1993), Pets
and Shipwreck Soul. Saturday is
a1990s Hoedown reunion with performers Carrie Akre, French Walker and
Chris Baugh.
Doors open at 8:30 p.m. both nights,
and tickets will be available via

Maryhill named ‘Winery of the Year’ at prestigious show
After judging more than 4,500 wines
from 1,400 wineries, 26 states and 31
countries, the 2014 San Francisco
International Wine Competition named
Washington state’s Maryhill Winery the
“Winery of the Year.” In addition to the
overall honor, Maryhill won 30 awards
for its wines at this year’s competition,
including four gold, 11 bronze and 10
silver as well as two “Best of Show”
honors and three “double golds” for a
2011 Mourvedre, a 2011 Grenache and
a 2011 Syrah.
Now in its 34th year, the San Francisco International Wine Competition is
the largest and most respected international competition in the United States.
Each year a panel of nearly 60 prestigious judges, including journalists and
industry professionals from around the
world participate in a blind tasting to
ensure competitive integrity.
“It’s been a thrilling year so far for
Maryhill,” said Craig Leuthold, co-owner
of Maryhill Winery. “We’ve had big wins
at the Seattle Wine Awards, Northwest
Wine Summit and Riverside International, but winning Winery of the Year at
a competition of this scale is an
incredible achievement for our entire
winemaking team and Washington
wines as a whole”
National Geographic
film to be shown Oct. 9
Tamástslikt Cultural Institute in
Pendleton will present the National
Geographic film The Photographers on
Thursday, Oct. 9 at 6 p.m.
Viewers will find out what it’s like to
travel, explore and ‘’get the shot’’ on
assignment with the celebrated photographers of National Geographic. These
remarkable men and women share their
secrets, the dangers they face, and the
lives they lead for the love of their craft.
The film showcases the remarkable
talent that is required to take pictures
that make history, and provides a
fascinating new perspective on the
world through the eyes of The Photographers.
The film is presented in conjunction
with the current exhibit, “National
Geographic Greatest Photographs of
the American West” in which wide open
spaces, spectacular rock formations,
and the cowboy life are examined
alongside struggles for limited natural
resources, Native American cultural
continuity and new energy sources. The
images shown in this exhibit, a small
sample from the significant holdings of
the National Geographic Archive, offer a
broad understanding of a region that
has long captivated photographers.
Catholic Health Initiatives St. Anthony
Hospital partially funded this exhibit.

information.
Craig and Vicki Leuthold established their winery in 1999. It’s now
the 10th largest winery in Washington
state, producing 90,000 cases
annually.
“I have the privilege of working with
the best cellar crew, growers and
grapes in the industry, and Maryhill
winning this honor is proof of that,” said
Maryhill winemaker Richard Batchelor.
“We’ve known for a long time that the
diversity and quality of Washington
grapes are unmatched and, as we
continue to release award-winning
wines like the Mourvedre, the Grenache
and our Vineyard series, more people
are recognizing and seeking out
Maryhill wines.”

‘Fun-size’ girl has big dreams
K
atie Smith is a 16-year-old junior at
Hanford High School in Richland.
She loves to read, and like all teenagers she enjoys hanging out with her
friends. But what makes this somewhat socially reserved teen truly happy
is singing and writing songs.
Katie’s love of music began when
she sang for a thousand people in a
Christmas program at the age of 3, and
since then she has never shied away
from singing for strangers, whether it
was a handful of people or a crowded
auditorium. She has sung at the

in a row and at the Richland Farmers
Market in the summer.

on Oct. 17 from 5 to 8 p.m.
She also feels a kinship with
audiences at Fox and Bear Public
House on George Washington Way in
Richland. “They are my kind of people!”
she says.
Katie is a good student, according
to her mom, and she plans on going
to college. But her real dream is to
make it big in the music industry.
She knows that’s a pretty exclusive
club to break into, but she believes
dreams are made to come true. She
is inspired and influenced by artists
such as Mumford and Sons, Taylor
Swift, Ed Sheeran, Striking Matches
and Carrie Underwood.
Small in stature, Katie refers to
herself as ”fun size.” She may have a
hard time reaching the pedals when
she drives, but her height has not
stopped her from doing anything she
has put her mind to.
Katie’s time at home is usually
spent strumming on the guitar for
hours at a time, learning a new song
or writing one. She is also learning
the piano. Her friends say she’s a
natural musician with an ability to
learn songs by ear.

‘Idol’ winner to play Pasco concert
Phillip Phillips is a young singer and
songwriter who won the top honors on
“American Idol” in the show’s 11th
season in 2012. He’s been touring ever
since, and Creation Concerts is
bringing him to the Tri-Cities.
After his “Idol” win, Phillips went on
to record the best-selling song “Home,”
which was the lead single on his debut
album, “The World from the Side of the
Moon.” It went platinum and shot to
No. 4 on the Billboard top 200. His
second album, “Behind the Light,” was
released last spring.
The rich, raspy vocals and masterful
guitar skills that made Phillips a fan
favorite on “Idol” have propelled his
career and gained him wide acclaim.
His talent as a songwriter has produced “Where We Came From” and a
host of other popular songs. He spent
most of last year on the road with
Matchbox 20, plus his own college
headline tour.
Most recently, he brought his rootsy
brand of rock-n-roll to arenas around
the country as the opening act for
singer-songwriter superstar John
Mayer’s “Born and Raised” tour.
Phillip Phillips
On the heels of his new album
release, “Behind the Light,” Phillips,
along with special guest Christian
Burghardt, will perform at the TRAC
Center in Pasco on Sunday, Oct. 19,
at 7 p.m.
Tickets are on sale online at
www.traconline.com. For phone
orders, call (509) 543-2999.
The folk-rock worship group Rend
Collective is touring with its new
album, “The Art of Celebration,” which
has seen both commercial success
and critical acclaim. The group will
perform at Calvary Chapel Tri-Cities on
Oct. 19 at 7 p.m.
The concert is sponsored by the
Young Adult Group at Calvary Chapel
to offer a night of music, worship and
fellowship for all area Christians.
Calvary Chapel is at 10611 W.
Clearwater in Kennewick.
Rend Collective has never lacked
imagination. The folk-influenced group
employs a bewildering array of
children’s toys and handmade oddities
as instruments. They have recorded a
live album on the beach around a
campfire, and they shot a music video
on a fishing boat in the turbulent Irish
Sea. You can expect them to do the
unexpected.
The group hails from the small
coastal town of Bangor in Northern
Ireland, and they developed their style
without being influenced by the music
industry. They describe themselves as
“a group of confused twenty-some-
things trying to figure out faith, life, God
and community.”
“We aren’t really so much of a band
as we are a family,” explained band
member Chris Llewellyn. “People are
more important than music, art or
apparent success.”
Their endearingly raucous live shows
have sold out tours on both sides of the
Atlantic, and they have shared stages
with some of the biggest names in
Christian music. But the international
spotlight has not altered the heart, the
style or the faith of these Irish worshippers.
“The Art of Celebration” has been
praised by nearly every publication that
reviews Christian music. “Passion
meets emotion in this wonderful
example of a scripturally rich, highly
affecting collection of worship anthems
that will serve churches around the
globe,” wrote Jeremy Armstrong of
Worship Leader.
Advance tickets to “The Art of
Celebration” concert are $15 in advance
or $20 at the door. They can be
purchased online at www.calvarytricities.org or iTickets.com.

New ‘Dancing with the Stars’ has many familiar faces
M
By Beth Trost-Hayter
y favorite reality television show,
“Dancing with the Stars,” is up and
running for season 19! I love watching it
because I’m in the business of teaching people to dance. I love the “extra”
choreography, which I call “Hollywood
dancing.” It gives every dance an extra
“wow factor” not seen in the regular
ballroom competition dancing around
the country.
The show began Sept. 15 and has a
new feature — a fourth judge, Julianne
Hough. She used to be a professional
dancer on the show, winning two mirrorball trophies for her dancing skill, not to
mention her beauty. Her brother,
Derick Hough, another professional
dancer, continues on the show and
has won five mirror-ball trophies. Now
he will have to be judged weekly by his
sister, and so far it has worked out
quite well.
Other judges, who have been on the
show since it began, are Len
Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie
Ann Inaba. All are retired professional
dancers and are highly qualified to
judge dance talent. The show is
hosted by Emmy-winner Tom Bergeron
of “America’s Funniest Home Videos”
and Erin Andrews, a sports host
finalist on season 10 of “Dancing with
the Stars.”
Each couple comprises a dance
professional and a celebrity. They are
awarded points by the judges each
week and by viewers casting their
votes from home. Based on the
scores, the dancers are voted off the
show, and at the end of the series, the
winning couple is awarded the mirrorball trophy.
This season’s cast of 13 celebrity
dancers includes a fashion icon, a
YouTube sensation, a NASCAR legend
and a movie star, to name a few.
Here’s this seasons’ cast:
Jonathan Bennett — The young
actor on TV’s “Mean Girls” is partnered
with new “Dancing with the Stars” pro
Allison Holker.
Tommy Chong — Comedian
Chong is paired with professional
dance partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Randy Couture — MMMA fighter
and actor Randy Couture will dance
with Karina Smirnoff.
Betsey Johnson — The fashion
designer will dance with Tony
Dovolani.
lolo Jones — The Olympic track
athlete will partner with new “Dancing
with the Stars” pro Keo Motsepe.
Bethany Mota — Beauty expert
Bethany Mota is paired with pro
Derick Hough.
Janel Parrish — The Broadway
and TV actress dances with Valentin
Chmerkovskiy.
Alfonso Ribeiro — Actor and
director Ribeiro is partnered with
Witney Carson. This is a couple to
watch, and is my favorite to win.
Sadie Robertson — The 17year-old charmer and star of A&E’s
“Duck Dynasty” will be dancing with
Mark Ballas.
Antonio Sabato Jr. — This actor
and Calvin Klein underwear model is
partnered with Cheryl Burke.
Tavis Smiley — The talk-show
host and author is paired with dance
pro Sharna Burgess.
Lea Thompson — Film star Lea
Thompson is pared with a new pro on
the show, Artem Chigvintsev.
Michael Waltrip — This professional racecar driver, founder and
racing commentator is paired with
dancer Emma Slater.
The show airs on Mondays and
Tuesdays up to Nov, 24.
By the way, I am planning a TriCities version of a “Dancing with the
Stars,” so stay tuned. I am looking into
having high-profile city officials and
professional people participate.

Kalli Morales (center) and the Kalliflorico Dance Company
Kalliflorico will perform at TRAC
There’s a relatively new folkloric
dance company based in Pasco. It’s
the Kalliflorico Dance Company, (full
name Kalliflorico Dance Co., Grupo de
Danza de Kalli Morales), an Hispanic,
folkloric dance group performing under
the direction of Kalli Morales.
The group will be performing as part
of the entertainment at the Holistic
Health and Harmony Expo at the TRAC
Center in Pasco on Oct. 11. Tickets to
the expo, which is open from 10 a.m.
to 6 p.m. that Saturday, are available
at holisticwellnessandprosperity.com.
(See page 28)
Kalliflorico Dance Co. is fast becoming popular in the Hispanic community.
One of the group’s goals is to use their
music performances to contribute to
the revitalization of downtown Pasco to
make it more attractive to visitors.
Morales is a professional folkloric
dancer and choreographer who grew
up in Mexico City. She performed and
traveled extensively with the Folkloric
Ballet of Mexico during the 1980s. She
founded the Pasco-based dance
company in 2012.
Kalli Morales’ vision is to bring
cultural enrichment to the Tri-Cities
through singing, dancing and the arts
with a focus on Hispanic culture and
heritage. Her Kalliflorico website is
currently under construction, but the
group can be reached by e-mail to
[email protected].
Benton City event mimics
‘Dancing With the Stars’
If you like TV dance
shows, you’ll love
this live competition!
F
ans of television’s “Dancing with
the Stars” can have a front-row seat
and cast a live vote for their favorite
couple in a local version of the show,
planned for Nov. 1 in Benton City. The
event will also include wine and
microbrew beer tasting and a silent
auction.
A passion for ballroom dancing and
a desire to promote revitalization and
economic development in her community sparked Linda Lehman’s idea for
“Benton City Thinks We Can Dance.”
It’s being held as a fundraiser for
Benton City’s Revitalization Committee, with proceeds to go toward
benches and other “street furniture,”
flower baskets and paint to make
downtown Benton City a more inviting
place to visit.
As chairman of the organizing
committee, Lehman is excited about
bringing the dance event to the town.
You can have some fun, vote for your
favorite local “stars” and benefit Benton
City’s downtown revitalization efforts at
the same time.
The competition will follow the format
of “Dancing with the Stars” by pairing
community leaders with experienced
dancers to compete for the coveted
mirror-ball trophy. The three people
who portray the TV judges Carrie Ann
Inaba, Len Goodman, and Bruno
Tonioli will critique the competitors, but
the winner will be determined by which
couple garners the largest pledges of
financial support from the audience.
Emcees a la Tom Bergeron and his
lovely assistant will keep the action
going.
In addition to organizing the event,
Lehman will get to show off her own
dancing skills, performing the paso
doble with her partner Glenn Hernando
as an exhibition between competition
rounds. Both are members of Tri-Cities
DanceSport of Washington, the local
chapter of DanceSport International.
Other members of the group will be
among the pros dancing with the stars
and doing exhibition dances.
The stars will be representatives of
different segments of the community
including city government, Fire District
No. 2 and downtown merchants, plus
Ki-Be High School graduates and
others. Some friendly rivalry between
groups is expected to encourage the
audience to keep their votes coming in.
Though most will be performing
conventional ballroom dances, there
will also be couples doing country
swing and Mexican folk dances.
The Revitalization Committee was
formed when Brenda Trammel, owner
of Enchanted Acres Alpaca Ranch,
stirred up enthusiasm for bringing
some color and a fresh look to Benton
City’s downtown area. The committee
has worked with the Benton City
Economic Development Council to
identify potential partners and projects.
Taking cues from the study of the
community done this past spring by
Eastern Washington University
graduate students in Urban and
Regional Planning, the committee
hopes to bring a sense of Benton
City’s “railroad town” history to the
design process.
“Benton City Thinks We Can Dance”
will be held at the St. Francis Xavier
Cabrini assembly hall, 1000 Horne Dr.
in Benton City. The event will open with
a social hour beginning at 6 p.m., with
wine and microbrew tasting and an
opportunity to peruse the silent auction
offerings. The dance program will begin
at 7, and the evening will conclude with
open dancing.
Tickets are $15 and will include hors
d’oeuvres and three beverage scrip.
Additional wine and beer will be
available for purchase by the glass.
Tickets are available at Benton City
businesses Quail Crossing and
Branches & Vines as well as online
and at the door.
For more information, call (509) 5213424.

The Boxtrolls is a fun, creepy family excursion!
B
By Aubrey Langlois
eing a stop-motion animated film
by the creators of Paranorman and
Coraline, and taken from Alan Snow’s
book Here Be Monsters, you would
naturally expect to see in The Boxtrolls
a universe that is darker and more
cynical than the bright, happy animated
fare in which Disney princesses get
their princes and happy endings come
with musical numbers.
While The Boxtrolls is predictable,
with a strange, colorful environment and
rich, edgy textures, it’s the fantastic
way the movie is presented that is
highly reminiscent of The Nightmare
Before Christmas or Wallace and
Gromit. It will be well-liked, if not loved,
by children and adults alike for its
sarcastic, witty jokes and funny
undertones.
A human boy named Eggs (Isaac
Hempstead Wright) — so-called
because of the outgrown egg box he’s
worn since he was kidnapped and
raised by his surrogate parents, Fish
and Shoe — is going through a comical
identity crisis after meeting Lord
Portley-Rind’s young daughter, Winnie.
He is out in the middle of the night in
search of odds and ends for his family
and himself to build amazing inventions
that they use in the underground
sewers of their Victorian-era city,
Cheesebridge. In Cheesbridge, your
status and wealth are dictated by the
amount of cheese you own.
Winnie (Elle Fanning) is out much
later than a young girl should be at her
The boxtrolls with their human boy Eggs, so named because of the egg box he wears.
age, considering the warnings about
wild boxtrolls that live under the
streets and have a reputation for
kidnapping
children. She
stumbles across
equally young
Eggs and follows
him back to his
home, where she
is surprised to see
real-live boxtrolls and one sad,
strange, little confused boy. She tries
to explain to Eggs that he isn’t a
boxtroll and is a human just like her,
forcing Eggs to come to a crossroads
about himself and what he’s believed
his entire life.
To make matter worse for poor
Eggs, aside from his comically hysterical self-identity problems, there are
other shenanigans
afoot. After our
protagonist’s kidnap
when he was two
year old, it seems
the very aura of
Cheesebridge
henceforth has
been blanketed in severe, nightly
paranoia. This leads to the rise of a
self-proclaimed pest exterminator,
Archibald Snatcher (Ben Kingsley) and
his three silly henchmen — Mr. Trout
(Nick Frost), Mr. Pickles (Richard
Ayoade), and Mr. Gristle (Tracy
Morgan). Also, there are some amusing crossdressing scenes where
Snatcher (calling himself Madame
FrouFrou at the time) tries to rally the
Cheesebridge populace to his side on
the subject of boxtrolls. It’s discovered
fairly quickly, though, that Snatcher’s
main goal is to simply raise his status
enough to be allowed in at Winnie’s
father’s extravagant cheese banquets.
After Winnie’s initial meeting with
Eggs and his oddball family, it is time
for them to fight back, to keep the
cheese-obsessed men (Snatcher and
his goons) out of their sewer home with
their pieced -together inventions made
from random garbage and throwaways.
Chaos, hilarity and heart-warming
moments ensue, as the audience has
come to expect and want from these
fantastic stop-motion films.
The Boxtrolls is cute, funny, and
great for all ages, becoming a good
runner-up to the Lego Movie that was
released in February of this year. It is a
good watch even if its only lasting
impression is the angry, nonsensical
language the boxtrolls spoke that is
complete gibberish. Don’t leave as the
credits are rolling, because there’s
more amusing though superfluous
conversation after the movie officially
ends.
The 3-D version, being more expensive, didn’t actually add anything to the
movie-going experience. Going to the
regular version will avoid the headaches and children’s complaints about
wearing the glasses.

written in a manner that causes the
reader to sympathize with her enough

an unclear ulterior motive and a special
relationship with his mother, but the
explanation is flat. Other characters,
including Mia’s father, sister and Mia

The storyline does become more
compelling in the final 100 pages. It

to the unpredictable ending that makes
finishing the book slightly worth the

Novella explores human, animal relationships
Larger Than Life, A Novella, by Jodi
Picoult, Ballantine eBook Edition, 2014
By JoDean Jordan
Alice’s mother had always had high
hopes for her curious daughter, fostering
in her a love of science and discovery.
Despite promising beginnings, her
mother never gets to live her dreams,
and instead bounces from job to job,
feeling unfulfilled and always wondering
“what if.” It is Alice who is going to live the
life that she had given up to become a
mother in the first place — a life of
academia and innovation.
It is because of, and in spite of, the
constant pressure and high expectations
that Alice finds herself graduating at the
top of her class from a prestigious
college. Right away she earns herself a
place on the staff at Harvard University.
Instead of easing into a coveted job
where she would be researching the
neurobiology of monkeys, she follows
her heart and detours to a game reserve
in Botswana. This is where her
childhood dream of studying elephants
and the relationships between cows and
their calves in their natural habitat is
going to be realized. It is this decision that
begins to tear mother and daughter apart.
On the game reserve, there is one rule:
only observe and never interfere. That is
easier said than done, when a herd of
elephants she is observing is murdered
by poachers, leaving behind a calf that is
sure to die without its mother. Alice can’t
bear to leave her behind. Breaking all the
rules, she coerces the calf back to her
cabin, where she and an unexpected ally
work together to see that the orphan has
the best life it can have.
This novella very cleverly parallels the
lives of Alice and her mother, alongside
the lives of elephant calves and cows.
Both share strong bonds, despite the
hardships that they must face. They can
never truly be torn apart, even when
orphaned or abandoned — or, worse,
emotionally discarded.
It is Alice’s relationship with her own
mother that is put to the test throughout
the novel. Her mother demands nothing
but the best from Alice, and despite
encouraging her to follow her heart,
disagrees when she does. An elephant’s
memory and desire for acceptance are
strong, but not stronger than that of a
woman who sees herself as a
disappointment in the eyes of the one
person who is supposed to always
remain by her side.
Larger Than Life is a mere fifty pages
long, but it captures the reader’s attention
from page one. Jodi Picoult has the ability
to weave a riveting plot from beginning to
end, no matter the length.
The story encompasses the moral
struggles of a young scientist willing to
risk her career for a cause she believes
in. It knits a relationship between Alice
and a forbidden love in the wilds of Africa,
all the while pulling the reader into the
fascination of the ties between members
of an elephant herd and the roles they
must play in order to survive.
This story paints a complete picture of
the complicated decisions we make in
our lives to feel fulfilled and whole while
not disappointing the ones we love along
the way.
The novella includes many developed
three-dimensional characters who all
play important roles in the progression of
the plot. The interactions of the characters
and their shared goals make for a very
interesting read, and one definitely worth
the time.
This book can be downloaded through
Amazon Kindle, via iBook, or downloaded
to a Nook, each for $1.99.

Tri-City artists welcome you for Open Studio Tour
M
ost of us only know our local
artists through the annual Art in
the Park or the occasional featured
artist exhibition. Now we have the
opportunity to get an inside look into
the creative process in the spaces
where artists dream and bring their
work to life. On Nov. 15 and 16, from
11 a.m. to 5 p.m., 11 Tri-City artists will
be opening their studio doors for the
11th annual Open Studio Tour.
The artists include a mix of new and
returning painters, sculptors, jewelers
and photographers. Tour participants
will get an insider’s view of how each
artist develops his or her ideas and
gives them form. Some artists will be
giving demonstrations and introducing
visitors to their materials and processes. Others will introduce the
classes and workshops they offer in
their studios or in other community
spaces and classrooms throughout the
year.
And of course the artists will have on
display a variety of work from their
latest developments and works in
progress to the hidden treasures they
hold back for their own inspiration.
There is no cost for the tour, but
participants will have an opportunity to
buy art. More importantly, it is a
chance to learn and make connections
in an informal setting outside the
traditional formal venues where one
would normally look at art.
Here is some information about the
participating artists:
Sculptor Ted Neth has been
working as an artist and arts educator
in the Tri-Cities for more than 60
years. He has the skills of an illustrator and painter, but his focus is metal
sculpture. He abstracts natural and
man-made forms inspired by Northwest
imagery such as the flow of the
Columbia River and then employs highlevel craft techniques that produce
shimmering light on stainless-steel
surfaces, sometimes combined with
bronze, copper or even glass or
ceramics.

Pasco Nov. 7, 8 and 9. Now in its 19th
year, this annual show presented by
Jim Custer Enterprises has become
the official kickoff to the holiday
shopping season in the Tri-Cities.
The event brings together more than
150 professional artists and crafters
from all over the Pacific Northwest.
Many of the artists return year after

welcomes new artists. Artisans
represent their own work at the show,
and one of the highlights is to be able
to talk to them about their artistic
process.

glass. Other pieces appear fished from
tropical seas or form luminous platters
of diachronic glass. Linda also creates
sculptures combining glass with cast
bronze — like her bird nests supported
by bronze twigs — but her most recent
works are pointillist paintings in glass.
Jeweler April Ottey was completing
a master’s degree in photography
when she discovered the fine art of
metalworking. She now focuses on
practicing and teaching the art of
creating fine jewelry. Her works are
small sculptural objects suggesting
some half-forgotten ethnic tradition of
totems and talismans. Hammered,
sawn and etched sterling silver are
common elements that April then

rings, earrings and necklaces.

The artist Denise Bowles draws
on a diverse range of media according
to the needs of the project. Besides
traditional categories of painting and
sculpture, Denise makes mixed
media wall pieces that blur the line
between painting and sculpture. To
express the push and pull of life, she

Anelare Winery tasting room is old, but brand new!
T
he Anelare Wine family took an old
pole barn and turned it into a
beautiful yet rustically elegant venue
with a contemporary twist. It is a place
where you come to relax, sip and savor
what Washington’s premier wine
country truly has to offer.
Anelare’s tasting room is located on
the Kiona hillside with a 360-degree
view of Red Mountain, Rattlesnake
Mountain and the Yakima Valley
vineyards along with sweeping vistas of
Badger Canyon and the Horse Heaven
Hills. On a clear day, you can even see
Mt. Adams.
The back side of the barn is completely glassed in, allowing you to fully
absorb the beauty of the area’s vineyards from inside, or you can step out
onto the spacious patio and take in the
views while sipping a glass of wine.

Make and serve tacos that are tasty, and then some

Creators Syndicate
acolicious is a chain of restaurants
in San Francisco, as well as the
title of the owner Sara Deseran’s recent
cookbook. It could also be the refrain of
busy families on school nights.
The only thing that might be better
than tacos for families on the go would
be slightly more innovative fillings than
usual to break the boredom.
Those are some of Tacolicious’
specialties. Think about stuffing your
tortillas with butternut squash, kale and
crunchy pepitas (pumpkin seeds).
They will then be both attention
grabbing and nutritious. The egg and
potato taco (recipe below) could be an
innovative breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Here are a few other filling ideas from
a fun section Deseran calls “Twenty 20Minute (Max) Tacos del Dia (of the
Day).”
Salmon with corn and tomato
salsa.
Roughly chopped fried chicken
that’s been removed from the bone with
cabbage, pickled jalapenos and the
cumin-lime crema that follows, or
another homemade or store-bought
sauce of your own.

celery.
EGG AND POTATO TACO
2 small poblano chile peppers
3 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1inch pieces
5 small new potatoes, cut into 1/4inch cubes
3/4 cup chopped yellow onion
6 eggs, whisked
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack
cheese
(Preferably kosher) salt, to taste
6 small flour tortillas
Chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving
Yields 6 servings.
Carefully place the poblano chiles
directly over the flame of a gas burner
and turn with tongs for about 3 minutes, until charred and blistered all
over. Alternatively, place the chiles in a
dry, heavy skillet over high heat and
turn with tongs for about 3 minutes,
until charred and blistered all over.
Carefully transfer the chiles to a bowl,
cover with plastic wrap, and let steam
for 10 minutes. Remove the chiles and
gently peel or scrape away the skin.
(See Note.) Slice each chile in half
lengthwise, remove the stem and
seeds, and cut into strips 1 inch long
by 1 / 8 inch wide. Measure out 1 / 3
cup. Set the rest aside for another
day.
Put the bacon in a large, heavy
skillet over medium heat and leave to
cook for a few minutes, until some of
the fat has rendered. Using a slotted
spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate.
Add the potatoes to the pan and cook,
stirring occasionally, for about 10
minutes, until cooked through. Add the
onion and return the bacon to the pan.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for another
few minutes, until the bacon is cooked
and the onion is soft.
Turn down the heat to low. Add the
eggs, chiles and cheese and stir for a
few minutes, until the eggs are gently
scrambled (taking care not to overcook) and the cheese is melted.
Season with salt. Remove from the
heat.
One at a time, warm
the flour tortillas
directly over the low
flame of a gas burner
for 10 to 15 seconds on
each side, until puffed.
Alternatively, warm
them in a heavy, dry
skillet over low heat on
both sides for about the
same amount of time.
Serve the eggs
inside the tortillas with
the cilantro and hot
sauce.
Note: Experts
recommend wearing
latex gloves when
handling chiles and not
touching your eyes

Stressed? Learn to relax at Holistic Health and Harmony Expo
By Crystal Willingham
In our busy, overworked society,
stress is a word most people are all too
familiar with. It’s that feeling of being
overwhelmed that comes with having
too much to do, too many responsibilities and not enough help, rest and
relaxation.
Physiologically, these overwhelming
thoughts create real symptoms in the
body and can cause heart problems,
depression, fatigue, headaches and
many other ailments. What is happening biologically is a reaction of the
autonomic nervous system, in which
the sympathetic or fight-or-flight
system gets overused to the point of a
total imbalance. Making choices to
alleviate or rid ourselves of stress is of
paramount importance. We can either
choose to find solutions or we can
wind up in the hospital on a forced
hiatus from life.
The first step in truly de-stressing,
in my opinion, is coming to a realization that stress is a choice. I
know...why would anyone choose to be
stressed? It’s a valid question when
the thought of being able to remain
cool and calm under pressure is a
foreign concept to most of us. Students of the law of attraction learn that
life is full of choices that we either
deliberately make or make by default
because of some idea or belief that
“it’s just the way things are.” Without
getting into the nitty-gritty of this
universal law, the fact is that we can
choose to live stress-free, and in so
choosing it will go away at some point.
I’ve read stories of this being an
instantaneous event for some and
taking months or years (as in my
case) for others.
Since we are spirits having a human
experience and we are in the material

world, doing and being all the things
we do and be, there’s more to getting a
handle on the reality of what stress is
than thinking it away (again, that is for
most of us). Here is a short list of
natural ways to alleviate stress that
you have probably already heard:
Spend time in meditation
Learn relaxation breathing techniques
Listen to relaxing music
Watch funny movies
Practice yoga
Do low-impact exercise
Cut back or eliminate caffeine
Avoid stressful situations
Consume more healthy foods and
eliminate processed foods
Spend quality time having fun with
friends and family
Sometimes we need more help than
these self-help methods can provide. In
that case, seeking professional help is
another option, and there are many
practitioners who can provide holistic
and natural services and products to
together to create something far more
wonderful and potent than any of the
pieces could alone.

In addition to writing and performing,
Nicole has developed a weekend

Nayarit: Remote, secluded, great for a honeymoon
G
By Sondra Wilson
oing to Puerto Vallarta should have
been like a hop and a skip, but
from Seattle it was an hour and a half
to San Francisco and three hours from
there to Puerto Vallarta. Once we
arrived and cleared customs, we
walked through a very modern airport.
Arriving in Mexico is always a bit
scary. In Puerto Vallarta you must walk
through an arrival hall where people try
to hassle you for timeshares. Don’t
acknowledge them — just keep
walking.
If you have a transfer to your hotel in
your vacation package, someone will
be waiting on the other side of the next
door with a sign displaying your name.
If you need to take a taxi to your hotel
they are plentiful, but find out what they
plan to charge you in advance.
We were soon on our way to a new
area outside of Puerto Vallarta, in the
area of Nayarit, for a Travel Leaders
owners’ retreat at the Iberostar Playa
Mita. This is an all-inclusive resort in
Punta Mita, quite a ways from Puerto
Vallarta. It took us well over an hour to
reach the hotel, and I immediately
decided this area is definitely for people
who want to escape and chill out. It is
stunningly beautiful but quite remote.
The Iberostar Playa Mita Hotel is a great place to honeymoon or just to chill out —
not so great if you’re looking for the kind of urban activity of Puerta Vallarta.
The hotel was only 10 months old
with nice amenities, but still had
growing pains. The staff couldn’t do
enough, but there were language
barriers even though the employees
are given English lessons. Our room
was totally equipped.
The hotel had lovely manicured
grounds overlooking the beach, and
many of the rooms had beautiful views.
Because it’s all-inclusive, we were
wrist-banded so we could access the
bars and restaurants at no charge.
Absolutely everything was included.
There were four themed restaurants,
nightly entertainment and a disco.
My favorite place at the hotel was a
very contemporary open-air lounge
overlooking the ocean with fabulous
sunsets. There were many activities —
yoga, pottery painting for the children,
salsa dancing, water basketball and
much more. They even offered complimentary scuba lessons. Not included
were massage, spa, golf and jet skis.
I loved the pool area, which was very
large with a swim-up bar and ocean
views. There were many thatched
umbrellas for shade. The golf course
owned by the hotel got rave reviews
from some of our group, and the
courses at the nearby St. Regis and
Four Seasons resorts were also good
but expensive.
This area is the perfect place to be if
you want total relaxation and don’t
care about proximity to town. It was
too remote for me. I happen to love
Puerto Vallarta and decided my trip
would not be complete if I didn’t go
there. The concierge at the hotel
suggested we change our money to
pesos even though they do accept
dollars. The exchange rate was about
13 pesos to the dollar, and a $75 cab
ride in dollars became $62 when paid
in pesos. Some friends shared the
cost, and off we went to spend the day.
A hurricane in Puerto Vallarta four
years ago did quite a bit of damage,

‘MUSEUM AFTER HOURS’ WILL
PRESENT MONTHLY LECTURES
A Monthly lecture series will be
held on the last Thursday of every
month at the Fort Walla Walla
Museum. The staff hopes the
series will provide opportunities for
community discussion and debate,
touching on topics ranging from
regional culture and history to the
roles and responsibilities of
museums within our communities.
The hours of the talks will
coincide with the museum’s closing
hours (5 p.m. through October and
4 p.m. during the winter months).
On Thursday, Oct. 30, at 5 p.m.,
the topic will be “Building the Fort
Colville and Mullan Roads, 1859.” It
will include presentations by Don
McLaughlin, historical investigator,
and Dan Clark, community activist
and director of the Living History
Troupe at Fort Walla Walla.
On this 155th anniversary of the
building of a wagon road from Fort
Walla Walla to Fort Colville, and
the beginning of construction on
Mullan Road linking the Columbia
and Missouri Rivers, the two
speakers will describe these
projects. Don McLaughlin of the
Stevens County Historical Society
has just completed a state-funded
research project tracing the route
and history of the Colville Road.
Local historian Daniel Clark is
working on the development of a
Mullan Road Historic Site in Walla

Ams players make NHL ‘Preliminary Watch List’
N
ational Hockey League Central
Scouting has released its preliminary list of players to watch in 2015,
with Tri-City Americans defensemen
Brandon Carlo, Parker Wotherspoon
and Brendan O’Reilly making the list.
Carlo is rated as an “A” prospect,
which means he is a potential candidate for a first-round draft pick. The
Colorado Springs native is in his
second season with the Americans. He
played in 71 games in his rookie year,
scoring three goals and 13 points. He
participated in the USA Hockey AllAmerican Prospects game on Sept. 25
in Buffalo, N.Y.
Carlo has been named an assistant
captain for the 2014-15 season, along
with teammates Lucas Nickles and
Beau McCue.
Wotherspoon garnered a “B” rating,
which means he is projected as a
second- or third-round draft pick. The
defenseman from Surrey, B.C., is in his
second season with the Americans. In
his rookie season, Wotherspoon
played in 62 games, recording 16
assists and 18 points.
O’Reilly is a rookie defenseman for
the Americans this season. The native
of Southlake, Texas, received a “C”
Being watched as an “A” prospect for the NHL draft is Brandon Carlo, left. At right is Parker Wotherspoon, chosen as a “B”

rating, which means he is a possible
fourth- to sixth-round selection. He
played for the Dallas Stars U-16 team,
recording eight goals and 30 points
playing in 41 games.
Assistant captain Lucas Nickles, a
native of Salmon Arm, B.C., is about
to begin his fourth season with the
Americans. The 20-year-old forward
has played 193 WHL games, scoring
28 goals and 66 points. He has also
played in 21 playoff games, recording
two assists. Nickles led the team with
four goals in the 2014 preseason.
Beau McCue, the other assistant
captain, is from Colorado Springs, and
is entering his third season with the
Americans. He has played in 126
games in an Ams sweater. He recorded
career highs last year with 20 goals
and assists while playing in all 72
games. He has 37 goals and 69 points
in his WHL career.

Desert Ski Club has been hitting
the slopes for the past 61 years!
The Desert Ski Club in the Tri-Cities
was incorporated in 1953 as a nonprofit
organization to promote snow skiing.
Snowboarders have since joined the
group, and over the years the club
has evolved into a year-round
sports and social club for singles
and couples.
Socializing takes a back seat,
however, to the club’s primary
goal of promoting snow skiing,
snowboarding and other winter
sports for singles and
couples. The membership
includes a wide range of
ages and athletic abilities.
Desert Ski Club
members enjoy many
scheduled bus trips, carpool
trips and even airline flights to ski
resorts in Washington and out of
state. Upcoming winter destinations
include Whitefish and Big Sky in
Montana, Oregon’s Anthony Lakes and
Mount Bachelor, Silver Mountain in
Idaho, and Squaw Valley in California’s
Lake Tahoe area. One-day trips are
planned to nearby resorts
such as Bluewood and
Mission Ridge. Summer
activities often include camping
trips and wine tours.
The Desert Ski Club meets the
first Thursday of each month at
the Shilo Inn on Bradley Blvd. in
Richland, with a social time beginning
at 6:30 p.m. and a meeting at 7. The
next meeting is Oct. 2. If you’re 21 or
over and are interested in possibly
becoming a member, you’re welcome
to attend.
Information about the Desert Ski
Club is online at the club’s website,

will also give you contact phone
numbers and information about becoming a member.
Are we being hypocritical about off-the-field violence?
O
By ‘Philly’ Robb Francis
ne thing I have tried to do over the
past decade-plus writing this
column- is to maintain a fair outlook on
the topics about which I write. It
doesn’t mean it is the popular opinion,
nor does it mean it is completely
against the grain, but I have tried to
maintain a level of fairness when
presenting my thoughts. This month’s
topic is the most difficult challenge yet,
as the most passionately followed
sport in this country has seen an
Achilles heel exposed.
Saying it has been a difficult
September for the NFL would be a
gross understatement. It may be the
worst month the league has ever faced.
Never before, through all of the off-field
embarrassments the game has
endured, has the NFL ever seen
corporate America wave a stern finger
in their direction. Multiple sponsors
expressed their disappointment at how
the league handled a societal problem
that made a major impact in its world
in a short amount of time.
The chronology doesn’t matter, nor
do the details, because in all cases
there is no excuse. Domestic violence
is a problem that is much larger than
the NFL, but not a problem from which
the league has had immunity.
The first high-profile DV case I
remember in the NFL involved former
quarterback and current Seahawks
analyst Warren Moon, then playing for
the Vikings. He was accused by his
wife of “striking her on the head with an
open hand and choking her to the point
that she almost lost consciousness
before she escaped from the couple’s
home.” Felicia Moon tried to get
prosecutors to drop the case, but they
didn’t. It went to trial, and in 1996
Warren Moon was acquitted with his
wife at his side. Moon was never
disciplined by the league.
Over the years, a number of other
cases would pop up — Panthers wide
receiver Rae Carruth would hire a man
to murder his pregnant girlfriend — but
they would be few and far between.
The percentage of incidents in the NFL
with a union on the other side, there
isn’t much you can do without negotiating or preparing for an appeal after
you take action.
That’s not an excuse for the NFL —
just an observation. The problem,
though, is that all the fire and brimstone is being thrown at the NFL. They
aren’t the societal torchbearers; they
are a piece and reflection of society.
The NFL messed up and deserves its
full share of criticism for it, but let’s
turn some attention to others who

they’ll lose if they do. U.S. Soccer and
the Seattle Reign are well within their
rights to allow her to play, and she
hasn’t been convicted by anyone
except the public. This is the main
problem.
The media attack the big dog and
cripple it whenever they can, and there
are disingenuous groups that share the
same agenda. They use the court of
public opinion as judge, jury and
executioner instead of allowing the

Bowlers, it’s not too late to sign up
for the Bragging Rights Challenge!
By Denise Conner
The third year of the “Bragging
Rights Challenge” has begun, pitting
the women of Atomic Bowl and Go
Bowl against the Spare Time Lanes
ladies, who have won the challenge
two years in a row.
Hosting this event once again is the
Mid-Columbia Women’s Bowling
Association (MCWBA). Scores from
the Oct. 5 event at Spare Time Lanes
in Kennewick can seen online at
www.mcwba.weebly.com. They will
compete again on Nov. 2 at Atomic
Bowl in Richland and on Jan. 25 at Go
Bowl in Pasco. The competition takes
place from 2 to 4 p.m. on those
Sundays.
There will be three teams of 12
women from both bowling associations
— the MCWBA and the Washington
Tri-Cities Bowling Association —
competing for top scores. The women
represent the house where they bowl,
but those who frequent all three
bowling centers may choose one of
them. Bowlers are divided by bowling
averages of up to 139, 140-164, and
160 and up, and compete within those
groupings. Each winner will be
awarded a point for her house.
The Bragging Rights Challenge
Champion won’t be declared until the
final of the three events in January. A
traveling trophy is engraved and
displayed in the winning team’s
bowling center along with a team
photo.
It’s great fun to come out and watch
the Bragging Rights Challenge, and
even more fun to participate. It is
possible for more than 100 women to
enter, so sign up now. All three bowling
centers have entry forms.

Fall is a time to plan ahead for the spring garden
F
By Micki Perry
all is upon us. The autumnal
equinox is past and the days are
getting shorter and cooler. It’s getting
much more pleasant to work in the
garden, and I am starting to think of all
that needs to be done to clean up the
garden for winter.
Leaves have already started falling,
and I use my trusty lawnmower to mow
them up. My motto is always, “Why
rake if you can mow?” Since my mower
has a collector bag, I spread the
combination of grass and chopped-up
leaves as mulch in my vegetable
garden and flower beds, and add the
mixture to the compost pile when I run
out of other places to put it.
Plan ahead
Fall is the time to begin planning
ahead for the spring garden. Some
spring annuals can be planted in early
fall. I am thinking mostly of poppies,
larkspur and calendulas. I try to save
calendula seed heads and plant their
seeds in late summer or early fall for an
early spring crop. Alyssum is a selfseeder that will come up in the spring
whether you intentionally replant it or
not. Pansies planted in the fall will
sometimes winter over and last until
spring.
Biennials such as lunaria, foxgloves,
some hollyhocks and campanulas can
be planted from seed in early fall and
will bloom their second spring. Lunaria
(also called honesty or money plant) is
a biennial. Its seedpods look like silver
dollars, especially if you rub off the
outer parchment-like coverings of the
seeds. As you do so you can either
save or scatter the seeds, which will
sprout in fall or early spring to become
groundcover plants that bloom the
following spring with beautiful purple (or
white) flowers. They then go to seed
and the cycle continues. Lunaria is a
great companion plant for spring bulbs
that need to be planted in the fall.
‘Travel’
You can plan for your spring garden by planting bulbs in the fall that will emerge
and bloom next spring. Some biennials can also be planted from seed in the fall.
First up: Bulbs
The first plants to bloom in spring
are bulbs, but bulbs that bloom in the
spring must be planted in the fall. The
great thing about spring bulbs is that
once you have planted them they will
usually come up every spring. You
don’t have to dig them up and re-plant
them every year like some summer
bulbs that will not winter over in our
climate zone. Most spring bulbs will
come up year after year, though some
tulips seem to peak the first year and
then only make so-so showings in
years after. If they are over-watered
they tend to rot.
Most spring bulbs not only re-bloom
year after year, but they also multiply,
forming new bulblets every year. If your
bulbs have multiplied abundantly, fall is
a good time to dig them up and replant
them — that is, if you have a clue

where they are planted. By fall their
dead foliage is long gone, except for
the grape hyacinths, which have the
grace to throw up foliage in fall that
shows you where they are. I wish other
bulbs would do that, but they don’t.
So you have several choices. You
can just keep adding new bulbs, and if
you hit existing bulbs when you are
trying to plant new ones, you can
divide the old bulbs and put the new
bulbs somewhere else. Or, when you
happen upon them in your random
digging, take all the old bulbs out and
replace them with new ones and put
the old ones somewhere else. Either
way, it’s a toss-up, but in my opinion
you can’t have too many bulbs,
whether they are old or new.
Something to consider when you are
planting new or old bulbs is their
season of bloom. If they are old bulbs,
unless you have kept records of when
they were supposed to bloom and
when they actually bloomed, you are
probably clueless. That’s why it
probably is a good idea to keep
records of what you bought, where you
planted it, and when it bloomed. When
you buy new bulbs, try to pay attention
to bloom times, which are somewhat
relative due to differing climate zones.
Bulbs are usually only classified as
early, mid-season or late season,
which are sort of vague designations. If
you want to have narcissus (daffodils)
and tulips blooming all spring, then you
can plant early, mid-season and late
season varieties to extend the bloom
season. Some gardeners even recommend planting an early, mid-season
and late variety in each large hole for a
succession of blooms, which sounds
like a good idea if you are really
organized. My goal is just to have
something blooming somewhere and
appreciate that something whenever
and wherever it blooms.
Divide perennials
Finally, fall is usually a good time to
divide perennials that bloom in spring
or early summer, and to plant trees
and shrubs — but only if you can
assure adequate watering after transplanting. As our irrigation water is not
available after mid-October, it’s sometimes a gamble to do a lot of planting
of perennials, trees and shrubs if you
don’t have a way to water them.
Fall is a busy time for gardeners.
There is lots of clean-up work to do to
prepare for winter, but it is also a time
to plant and plan ahead for next
spring’s glorious garden.
Happy planting! Happy fall!

HOROSCOPES
HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The
smarter you are the more of you there
is to know. When you don’t understand, you’ll ask questions, observe

influence than you realize on all of the
people you come into contact with.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
have the ability to fascinate others with
your stories and insights, but perhaps
the most fascinating thing you do is
solve their problems. Experience has
taught you, and you love to share what
you know. But when you don’t know,
make a guess. You’ll get lucky!

strike the perfect balance.
SUDOKU
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing is
overrated. Being is enough. If you run
around trying to fulfill every need and
expectation that your people put on
you, you’ll wear yourself out. Instead,
focus on a single project and work it to
completion. Your schedule will organize
itself. You’ll live simply and peaceably.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). New
designs will catch your eye. You want
things around you that are fun to look
at. You’ll be inspired by artistic people
and environments. Style upgrades and
updates won’t cost too much and will
be easily implemented. It’s not superfluous if it makes you happy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wonder
where a certain relationship is headed.
The best way to find out is to hang in
there and see how things naturally
develop. Conversing about the matter
would only make things awkward. Your
heart will find the way, and things will
get clearer. Until then, treat yourself
well and trust in love’s process.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). They
call it a “support system” for a reason.
If your circle of loved ones doesn’t
make you feel stronger, there’s a
problem. Beware of psychic drainage
and people who seem to always need
something from you. Take the time to
make yourself happy. After that, you’ll
find that you like people again.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Make
extra efforts to do enjoyable things.
While it’s not necessary to get every
single desire met, depriving yourself
unnecessarily depletes your enthusiasm for life. When your second chakra,
the belly chakra, is balanced, you feel
creative, vital and able to bring pleasure
into your life and the lives of others.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Naive
incompetence can look like selfassured intelligence, and vice versa. So
don’t worry about how smart a move
actually is. The important thing is that
you make it and then keep on moving
— because everything you learn will be
learned in motion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Life is a series of exchanges. When
something gets cleaned, the rag you
clean it with gets dirty. There’s always
going to be a tradeoff. Living well will
depend on being very thoughtful as to
the exchange and on understanding
your own definition of a good deal.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Life-altering decisions work best when
it’s your own life they alter. All the
focus you put on improving your own
health and well-being will trickle down
through your family and have a bigger

This could be you, relaxing in a new Marquis hot tub from Inland Pool & Spa .
Inland Pool & Spa carries hot tubs
by Marquis, rated highest quality
Everyone, it seems, is California
dreamin’. The idea of having a backyard
pool seems as far away as the Hollywood Hills, but Inland Pool and Spa
Centre in Hermiston has made the
dream a reality for many people who
aren’t exactly getting rich. And even
more possible than a pool for most
families is installing a jetted hot tub to
relax in after a long day.
Inland Pool and Spa carries the
Marquis brand of hot tubs, installs inground vinyl pools and carries pool and
hot-tub supplies, The business is
conveniently located at 80996 N. Hwy
395 in Hermiston and has been locally
owned and operated since 1979. Their
goal in business is customer happiness and satisfaction whether they’re
selling supplies, installing a hot tub or
building your dream backyard swimming pool.
It’s also refreshing that they provide
full maintenance and repair service on
all brands of hot tubs and and all
swimming pools and equipment. That
includes repairing or replacing vinyl
liners. And if you give them a call they
are happy to answer any questions you
may have about new pool construction,
hot tubs, pool maintenance, pool
supplies, pool accessories, chemicals
and any other related questions. If they
don’t have the answer, they’ll get it for
you.
Inland has been a Marquis hot-tub
dealer for 14 years, and they can
testify to the quality of the product. In
fact, Marquis has been recognized as
the number-one hot-tub manufacturer
in the industry by SpaRetailer and
PoolPro Magazines. The brand was
recognized with the coveted 2014
TradeCertified Award and ranked No. 1
in initial product quality and No. 1 in
overall quality after a year of
use.TradeCertified awards are the only
independent endorsement for companies in the hot-tub and swimming pool
industries. To maintain complete
impartiality, all results were tabulated
through a team of third-party auditors,
ensuring that this certification was won
fairly and not influenced by advertising
dollars
“We pay close attention to developing hand-crafted, state-of-the-art hot
tubs for people to enjoy,” said John
Schrenk, president of Marquis. “We
are grateful that our commitment to
quality is being noticed.”
Inland Pool and Spa Centre is open
