Three Rivers Convention Center will
host 37th annual Tri-Cities Wine Festival
E

participate in the Tri-Cities Wine
Festival, the oldest continuously
running judged wine festival in the
Northwest.
This year’s festival will be the 37th
annual event, to be held Nov. 14 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.
Hundreds of wines and some regional
microbrews are available for sampling.
Gourmet foods are served by local
restaurants and caterers including
Anthony’s, P.F. Chang’s, Twigs Bistro,
Fat Olives, Ice Harbor Brewery and
others..
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.

Dallas Brass to perform at Richland High School
Clinics, performances by band
students in grades 8-12 included
The internationally acclaimed Dallas
Brass will be performing at Richland
High School on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. in a
concert that will benefit the Richland
School District music programs.
The Dallas Brass has become one of
America’s foremost musical ensembles. Their show, American Musical
Journey, incorporates a full complement
of brass and percussion for a musical
travelogue through American history,
from colonial times to the present day.
Masters of brass such as Copland,
Bernstein, Gershwin, Berlin and Sousa
have contributed to the repertoire, as
well as bands like the Tijuana Brass
and Chicago. All styles are included,
from Dixieland and swing to Broadway,
folk, patriotic, pop and even hip-hop!
According to Dallas Brass founder
Michael Levine, the concert is for the
entire family. “Our goal is to entertain
and enrich by playing great music,” he
said.
In addition to their solo engagements, the Dallas Brass appears with
symphony orchestras nationwide.
They’ve played with the Cincinnati
Pops, the New York
Pops and the Philly
Pops orchestras.
They’ve performed at
Carnegie Hall, the
Kennedy Center and
overseas. They have
shared the stage with
the late Bob Hope,
performed for U.S.
presidents and appeared
on the CBS “Early
Show.” Their music has
often been used on “The
Young and the Restless.”
The band has released six recordings: “Debut,” “Dallas Brass II,” “A
Merry Christmas with Brass,”
“Windborne,” “Nutcracker” and
“American Musical Journey.”
Clinics will be held in conjunction
with this concert, and Richland
School District band students in
grades 8-12 will join the Dallas Brass
on stage. The Dallas Brass Education
Foundation, a 501(c)3 corporation,
supports these educational efforts and
gratefully accepts donations to their
“Music in the School” program.

Mastersingers concert celebrates Latino culture
On Oct. 16, 17 and 18 at St.
Joseph’s Chapel in Kennewick, the
Mid-Columbia Mastersingers will
present their eighth annual concert
celebrating the culture and language of
the Latino community. It will include two
works in Spanish — Romancero Gitano
by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and
Misa de los Inmigrantes by Henry
Mollicone.
Romancero Gitano, or “Gypsy
Ballads,” is based on poetry by Spanish
writer Federico García Lorca. Italian
composer Castelnuovo-Tedesco, one of
the 20th century’s foremost composers
for the guitar, wrote Romancero Gitano
for chorus and guitar, with vocal solos
coming from within the choir. The
virtuosic guitar part, played by Mike
Edmondson, features a prelude and
postlude to each song, and accompanies the choir throughout with an
exciting gypsy flair.
Henry Mollicone is a contemporary
American composer, and he will come
to the Tri-Cities to hear this Pacific
Northwest premiere performance of
his Misa de los Inmigrantes, or “Mass
for the Immigrants.” The music has
the rhythmic and melodic flavor of
Latin America, and includes the
narrated story of a single immigrant.
The Mastersingers are joined by
narrator Nikki Torres, soprano Mitzi
Lundberg, pianist Tara Pegasus and a
chamber orchestra.
“The work was written as a tribute
to all immigrants in the hope of raising

Momix and Capitol Theatre
in Yakima present Alchemia
I
t’s all about the art of
alchemy and the
alchemy of art. The
latest Momix creation by
Moses Pendleton is an
enchanting multimedia
spectacle full of invention, beauty, sensuality
and humor. The show,
called Alchemia, is
coming to Yakima on
Oct. 4 for one performance at 7:30 p.m. at
the historic Capitol
Theatre.
Just as he led audiences on a surreal
journey through the four
seasons in Botanica, in
Alchemia, Pendleton
manipulates the four
classic elements —
earth, air, fire and water
— in a seemingly
magical process of
transformation, creation
and combination. It’s
Momix at its most
magical.
Momix is a company of dancerillusionists based in Connecticut and
known internationally for works of
exceptional inventiveness and physical
beauty. For 35 years, Momix has been
celebrated for its ability to conjure up a
world of surrealistic images using
props, light, shadow, humor and the
human body.
In addition to stage performances
worldwide, the company has frequently
worked on special projects and in film
and television. They have made French
and Italian television features broadcast
to 55 countries, including the USSR
and China, and have been featured in
PBS’s “Dance in America” series. The
company participated in the “Homage a
Picasso” in Paris and was selected to
represent the U.S. at the European
Cultural Center at Delphi.

Gabriel ‘Fluffy’ Iglesias performs
for WSU Pullman Dads’ Weekend
Gabriel Iglesias is one of America’s
most successful stand-up comedians,
performing in sold-out venues across
the United States and internationally.
His current comedy tour is coming to
the Beasley Coliseum in Pullman for
Dads’ Weekend, with one performance
on Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on
sale now.
Iglesias has embraced the nickname
“Fluffy,” and his official website is
fluffyguy.com. He’s the youngest of six
children raised by a single mother in
Long Beach, Calif. During his childhood he developed a strong sense of
humor to deal with the obstacles he
faced, and in 1997 he set out to hone
his comedic skills. He performed
stand-up routines anywhere he could
find an audience, including biker
hangouts and hole-in-the-wall bars,
before achieving phenomenal success.
His stand-up comedy is a mixture of
storytelling, parodies, characters and
sound effects that bring his personal
experiences to life. His unique and
animated comedy style has made him
popular among fans of all ages.
In 2014, Iglesias’s stand-up comedy
film The Fluffy Movie was released to
theaters, and since then he has voiced
a character in the animated film The
Book of Life along with Zoe Saldana
and Channing Tatum. Comedy Central
also aired season three of Gabriel’s hit
series “Stand- Up Revolution,” which
features comedians that he personally
selected.
Iglesias also appeared in the 2012
movie Magic Mike and reprised his role
in the sequel, Magic Mike XXL. He has
played other film roles in A Haunted
House 2 and the hit animated
films The Nut Job and
Disney’s Planes. His TV credits
include appearances with hosts
Arsenio Hall, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien,
Jimmy Kimmel, Craig Ferguson and
Steve Harvey.
In 2013, Comedy Central premiered
Gabriel Iglesias
“Gabriel Iglesias: Aloha Fluffy” in an
unprecedented two-night comedy
special to more than 15 million viewers. This was a great follow-up to his
previous DVD specials, “Hot &
Fluffy: and “I’m Not Fat...I’m Fluffy,”
which have sold millions of copies.
Igelsias has headlined the Just for
Laughs Comedy Festivals in Montreal
and Toronto, as well as the Amman,
Jordan, Comedy Festival. His appeal is
international, and his shows have
toured Canada, Australia, Europe,
Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and
the United Arab Emirates.
Dads’ Weekend at the WSU
Pullman campus includes a home
football game and many other activities. On the gridiron on Nov. 7, the
Cougars will face Arizona State.
Tickets to the Nov. 6 Gabriel Iglesias
show at the Beasley Coliseum are
available at the coliseum box office,
online at ticketswest.com or by phone
at (800) 325-SEAT. For information,

BigTop the Clown keeps kids laughing!
Popular area entertainer will
perform at First Night Tri-Cities
at the Carousel of Dreams
“Ladies and gentlemen, children of
all ages, presenting in ring one, BigTop
the Clown!”
Richard Melendy of Kennewick, also
known as BigTop the Clown, received
that introduction and got his clown
name from Clown Alley (the term for
the clowns’ backstage area) of Ringling
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus
when he clowned for the circus.
BigTop has been bringing smiles and
laughter to audiences for 22 years, and
has had his own business in the TriCities since 2005.
You’ll have a chance to meet him on
New Year’s Eve, Dec. 31, when he
entertains the children at the First
Night Tri-Cities event. This year, First
Night will be held at the Gesa Carousel
of Dreams in Kennewick’s Southridge
Sports and Events Comples.
BigTop learned pantomime beginning
in middle school after seeing the
French mime Marcel Marceau perform
on stage in Southern California. He has
also been inspired by comedy geniuses such as Laurel and Hardy, the
Three Stooges, Buster Keaton and
Charlie Chaplin.
Melendy has a BA degree in art
history and visual arts from the University of Southern California, and he went
on to receive clown training from
Priscilla Mooseburger’s Clown Arts
School in Minnesota. The school
recommended him to clown with the
circus.
At Mooseburger Clown School,
Frosty Little, the master circus clown
who was his mentor, once advised him,
“Keep your clown actions real and
Richard Melendy, aka BigTop the Clown,
just can’t stop clowning around.
simple. It’s about your audience and
not about you when entertaining them.”
Performing with Ringling Brothers
Circus was a dream come true for
BigTop. In the circus, he learned how to
perform on a large scale, and it gave
him the opportunity to perform with
artists from all over the world.
Here in the Tri-Cities, BigTop has
clowned at events for Hanford contractor CH2M Hill, for the Water Follies
Association, the Carrousel of Dreams,
Kadlec Regional Medical Center and
many other companies and organizations. His favorite physical comedy bit
is the pie in the face, and he has been
in many hilarious pie fights to the
delight of his audiences.
BigTop performs at birthday parties
and other events at the Carrousel of
Dreams, at company picnics, grand
openings and other occasions —
virtually wherever children of all ages
need entertainment.
For more about BigTop, including a
gallery of photos and his contact
information, visit him on the web at
www.bigtoptheclown.com.
October Reach Center event focuses on area birds
T
he Lower Columbia Basin Audubon
Society will sponsor a day of
speakers and fun activities at the
Hanford Reach Interpretive Center on
Oct. 10.
The event will begin with a bird walk
from 8 to 10 a.m. on Bateman Island.
Participants should meet at 8 a.m. at
Wye Park on Columbia Park Trail in
Richland..
Then, the event will move to the
Reach Center, and from 10 to
11:30 a.m. you can learn how to draw
birds by using taxonomy birds as
models. There will also be chalk-art
bird drawing outside. All supplies will
be provided by the Audubon Society.
A video will be shown featuring Dr.
Katharine Hayhoe’s presentation on
climate change at the National
Audubon Society annual meeting.
Also. Three Rivers Dulcimer Group will
be playing from 10 to noon, and group
of officers and members of the local
Audubon chapter will be on hand to
answer all of your bird-watching and
conservation questions.
From 1 to 2 that afternoon, Jack
Nesbit, a Spokane-based teacher,
naturalist and author, will give a
presentation called “Dr. Kennerly
Comes to Call.” It concerns Caleb
Rowan Kennerly, a young Virginia
medical doctor with a keen interest in
fish and birds. In 1857, he was appointed to serve as surgeon to the
International Boundary Survey that
established our border with Canada.
He spent most of 1860 in the interior of
the country, recording what he saw in
a vest-pocket notebook.
Nesbit’s slide presentation will follow
Dr. Kennerly’s travels through our
region, with particular focus on the
birds he encountered.
The Lower Columbia Basin Audubon
Society is also providing a one-year
free membership to anyone wishing to
sign up. There will be membership
forms available at the Reach Center.
There also will be two drawings — one
for a valuable carved wooden bird and
the other for a pair of binoculars from
the REI store.
The cost of entrance to the Hanford
Reach Interpretive Center is $8 for
adults and $6 for students, seniors 65plus and military members. Children
under 5 and Reach members are
admitted free.
The Reach Center is at 1943

Take a sentimental journey
…in four-part harmony!
E
ach year since 1980, the Rolling
Hills Chorus, part of Sweet
Adelines International, has produced
an original show that features a
cappella four-part harmony in the
barbershop style. Its members are
drawn from an area stretching from
Yakima to the Tri-Cities and
Hermiston.
This year, these Sweet Adelines will
evoke a 1940s USO club and show
with swing tunes, patriotic themes and
that favorite MC, Bob Hopeful.
The show will be staged Oct. 23 in
Prosser’s Princess Theatre, Oct. 24 in
the Hanford High Auditorium in
Richland, and Oct. 30 at — new this
year — Armand Larive Middle School
in Hermiston.
All shows start at 7:30 p.m. You’ll
enjoy the chorus, several quartets, and
in the Richland and Hermiston shows
the smooth, jazzy duo Mary Lou
Gnoza and Steve Haberman.
The chorus is partnering with the
USO of the Northwest to aid in their
ongoing support of American troops
both here and abroad. A portion of
ticket sales will be donated to the
USO. Active military personnel and
veterans are invited to purchase
discounted tickets.
Advance tickets for “Sentimental
Journey, Remembering the USO” are
available from any chorus member,
online at rollinghillschorus.org and at
Sister to Sister in Prosser, Adventures
Underground in Richland and the
Bookworm in Kennewick. In
Hermiston, tickets are available at
Neighborhood Books and Gifts.
For information, call (509) 420.6754

rehearsal scene for the upcoming show
are (clockwise from front left) Lois
Raymond (Rosie the Riveter), Lisa

(nurse), Chris Buss (society dame) and
Brenda Baker (USO hostess).
VOCAL LESSONS START NOV. 5
Rolling Hills Chorus wants to
share the joy of singing barbershop
style with women who love to sing.
A five-week series of free vocal
lessons will start on Nov. 5. The
lessons culminate with a place in
the chorus for the annual free
Christmas show.
Prospective members are also
welcome at rehearsals on Thursday

Owners engage their alpacas while awaiting their turn before the judges. The
Northwest Alpaca Showcase is open to the public Oct. 24 and 25 at the TRAC.
Alpaca owners compete for honors
The annual Northwest Alpaca
Showcase is returning to the TRAC
Center in Pasco on Oct. 24 and 25.
Breeders and alpaca from throughout
the Northwest will compete for top
honors in the halter show, fleece show
and spin-off.
“Showcase is open to the public
and admission is free,” said Jennifer
Ely, promotion manager for the event.
“It’s a great opportunity to see the
alpacas, talk with breeders and learn
more about owning these remarkable
animals.”
In addition to the show-ring competition, the annual event will also feature
a retail atrium of luxurious alpaca
goods for sale, along with numerous
farm-related vendors. Seminars and
clinics on a variety of husbandry
topics are also open to the public.
Members of the Desert Fiber Arts
Guild will be on hand to demonstrate
spinning and weaving of the sumptuous fiber.
Originally from South America,
alpacas are raised for their luxurious
fleece, which is similar to cashmere
and softer, stronger and lighter than
wool. The appeal of raising these ecofriendly animals is due largely to the
minimal care they require, their gentle
personality, the resulting revenue and
enviable lifestyle. Alpaca breeders are
a cooperative group, mentoring
newcomers and ensuring the success
of a rapidly growing national industry.

activities, visit

Featured attraction
is the four-acre
cornfield maze
T
he Middleton family farm on the
Pasco-Kahlotus Highway continues
to a-“maze” us with the annual
Middleton Fall Festival. The highlight of
a visit to the farm is getting lost in the
cornfield maze, a tradition that began
last year. This year the aerial view of
the four-acre field clearly shows Keith
and Laura Middleton’s enthusiasm for
the Seattle Seahawks. The pathways
through the corn are in the shape of a
player holding a 12th-man flag.
It will take you about up to an hour
to find your way through the maze, and
you’ll discover interactive games along
the way. “Referees” will be stationed in
the maze in case you need help, and a
smaller maze has been carved in
another field especially for younger
children.
Although this is only the second
year for the challenging maze, it’s the
third year of the Middleton Fall Festi-

Glove” for his defensive skills when he
played with the Seattle SuperSonics.

the NBA’s reigning high scorer among
point guards. He holds Seattle franchise records in points, assists and
steals. He has also played with the
Milwaukee Bucks, the Los Angeles
Lakers, the Boston Celtics and the
Miami Heat when the Heat won an
NBA championship. He was inducted
into the Naismith Basketball Hall of
Fame in 2013.
In his 13-year tenure with the
Sonics, Payton was the team’s alltime leading scorer. He is also a twotime Olympic gold medalist. He is
passionate about the mission of the
Boys and Girls Clubs and donates his
time and resources to various clubs.
Before he was drafted by the Sonics
in 1990, he played for four years at

Tri-City artists open their studios to the public
A
group of 11 Tri-City artists will be
opening their studios for the twelfth
annual Tri-City Artists’ Open Studio
Tour on Nov. 14 and 15 from 11 a.m. to
5 p.m.
Having visitors to the studio is part of
every artist’s professional practice, and
studio tours have become very popular.
In New York, center of the global art
market, one of the biggest art events
each spring is Brooklyn’s Bushwick
Open Studios, where nearly 500 artists
simultaneously open their studios.
Tri-City artists may be fewer in
number, but the Tri-City Artist’s Open
Studio Tour has the advantage of being
small enough that visitors can reach
every studio in a single weekend. This
year’s mix of artists includes two
newcomers and nine old-timers who
open their spaces every year.
There is also a nice mix of art —
drawings, photography and paintings in
oil, watercolor and acrylic, plus jewelry,
fine fabrics and fused glass. Some of
the artists use unique materials and
processes to create their work, and all
are continually exploring new and
interesting ideas and images, pushing
the limits of their vision and skill.
To participate in this free event,
simply set out with a list of addresses
or download a map from the tour’s
website,
tricityartistsopenstudiotour.com, and
travel from studio to studio at your
leisure. It’s a chance to visit with
artists, learn about upcoming classes,
see demonstrations or works in
progress, and of course see some very
fine art in an informal setting outside
the traditional gallery network.

creates unique apparel including
scarves, sachets and necklaces.

Another artist new this year is Suzi
Vitulli, a watercolorist who teaches
painting classes at the Richland
Community Center. Suzi explores
themes ranging from wildlife, tropical
florals, aquatic life, and people to the
purely whimsical. All of her work has a
fine sense of design with bright colors,
an interesting interplay of space and
degrees of transparency.
Jeweler April Ottey is an artist who
combines a high level of craft with an
eye for natural materials. The aesthetic
feels both natural and ancient. From
silver bracelets softly curled like a bit

Wyatt brings to the tour his awardwinning high-altitude photographs.
Earlier this year, he received the

Custer’s Christmas Arts and Crafts Show, returning to TRAC Nov. 6-8.
Custer’s Christmas show is
a 20-year holiday tradition
Custer’s Christmas Arts and Crafts
Show returns to the TRAC Center in
Pasco on Nov. 6, 7 and 8. Now celebrating 20 years of holiday shows,
Jim Custer Enterprises’ annual November event 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
year, but each year the show also
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.
From the practical to the whimsical,
you’ll find something for everyone on
your list as you get creative with your
holiday shopping. This show features
pottery, jewelry, woodworking, glass,
photography, metal art, seasonal
décor, specialty gourmet foods —
many available for sampling — and
much more.
Whether your style is country craft,
rustic lodge, shabby chic, fine art or
somewhere in between, there really is
something for everyone in every price
range. You may take home a whimsical birdhouse, a clay fountain, a glass
vase or a piece of hand-painted
furniture.
Admission is only $6 and is good for
all weekend. You can come and go as
often as you like. Kids 12 and under
are admitted free.
Jim Custer Enterprises has been
staging successful consumer shows
and sales throughout the Inland
Northwest since 1976. The company
was founded by Jim and Jennifer
Custer, and it is still family-owned and
operated by their daughter Cheryl
Custer-Branz and son-in-law Clint
Branz. The business is based in
Spokane.
The TRAC Center offers easy
access from I-182 at the Road 68 exit.
Show hours are Friday from 10 a.m. to
8 p.m., Saturday from 10 to 6 and
Sunday from 10 to 4.

festivals, and good food and wine.
Philip Harding is an abstract artist
whose drawings, paintings and prints
combine techniques of drafting and
geometry with organic patterns derived
from biology and physics. Part modernist abstraction and part contemporary
conceptualism, the work takes ideas of
pattern formation from chaos theory
and self-emergent design in biology.
Mixed-media artist Jan Nilsson has
a studio overlooking the Yakima River,
and it provides direct inspiration for her
landscapes — but she also explores
an inner landscape. Torn papers and
fabric scraps combined with postage
stamps, playing cards and old newspapers create images of history, memory
and imagination. Children visiting her
studio will have a place to paint.
Chris Walling is another tour
regular. Working in watercolors and
mixed media, she continues to develop
her “Art Reimagined” series where she
takes older watercolors and draws out
new images. Chris has also created a
calendar called “Animalium” featuring
imaginative views of animals. For the
tour she will be offering the calendar,
prints from her Tri-City Landmarks
series, and original paintings.

The Intern in charming and delightfully re-watchable
By Aubrey Langlois
I
t’s refreshing to see a comedy in
which Robert De Niro isn’t looking
like some angry old codger about
ready to spray the neighborhood kids
for messing around on his lawn, all the
while spouting potty-humored obscenities as they run away.
It could just be that the blatant oversequeling of the Focker family turned
some audiences sour for a short while,
but De Niro is a phenomenal actor with
loads of talent that doesn’t stop, no
matter what age he is.
The Intern stars gorgeous Anne
Hathaway as Jules Ostin, the upstart
business CEO of About the Fit, and
aged but still-in-the game widower Ben
Whitaker, played by Robert De Niro.
As the owner of the highly acclaimed
e-commerce fashion company that
went from zero to sixty in record time,
Jules unwittingly agrees to allow senior
interns to come in and get back into
the workforce after retirement.
When the
brunette is paired
with the elderly
gentleman, it’s
apparent Jules is
amused at the
situation, though
not so much with
Ben himself.
Through a series of comical and
endearing interactions, Jules warms up
Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway in The Intern
to the world-experienced man, who
has taken it upon himself to paternally
foster the younger interns and keep up
with the wise life
advice to his much
younger boss.
It’s all sappy
sweetness, mixed
with De Niro’s
wise-cracking
charm. The
difference in their ages tends to lean
toward the often cliché ageist humor,
but director and writer Nancy Meyers
(What Women Want – 2000) plays
upon her experience in Hollywood by
showing complete, raw, human emotion through well-written and portrayed
monologues.
The baser moments that really
highlight Hathaway’s expertise as an
actress come in the gut-wrenching,
roller-coaster ride of a relationship
between Jules and her cheating
husband Matt (Anders Holm). It’s a
shocking scene when Ben finds out
about the affair while picking up Jules’
sweet, angelic daughter from school.
What will throw you for a loop is that
Jules actually knows about the whole
extramarital affair, but her job doesn’t
allow her time to fix her crumbling
marriage.
Audiences won’t even be able to
hate Matt either, because Jules is
determined to make her marriage work
for their beautiful curly-headed daughter Paige.
De Niro makes sure to also remind
the younger generation that ther elders
aren’t as old and dusty as they
thought. Several scenes with the
company’s in-house masseuse Fiona
(Rene Russo) will have you rolling in
the aisles as De Niro’s tight-lipped, nononsense expressions are in perfectly
synchronization with the masseuse’s
wandering hands.
This will lead into silly boy banter
and a crush on the pretty cougar
whose character borders on highschool hilarity.
While The Intern is a tad reminiscent of the ultra-adorable The Devil
Wears Prada, or Two Weeks Notice, it
will be a cute movie to watch both in
the theater with a date,and when its
hits cable television in a year or two.
Either way, it is an incredibly
charming, heart-warming comedy that
will be continuously re-watchable for
years to come.

Shocking psychological thriller full of surprises!
Follow You Home, by Mark Edwards,
Thomas and Mercer, 2015
By JoDean Jordan
I
t was supposed to be the trip of a
lifetime. Daniel and Laura always
dreamed of touring Europe before
settling down into married life in
London. But one train ride through
Romania on the final leg of their tour
changes everything.
They go against their instincts and
befriend a young couple, and it sends
them into a dark Romanian night and a
frenzied situation. They are kicked off
the train in the middle of nowhere, and
after a petrifying experience they feel a
desperate need to cut their trip short
and return home.
Once back in London, Daniel and
Laura vow to never speak of the
nightmare they witnessed in the pitchblack Romanian forest. But the reality
of that horrible night tears them apart.
Not only is the wedding canceled,
but they can barely stand the sight of
each other. By staying together, the
curse of that one fateful turn of events
lives on in their memories and in their
every waking moment. They attempt to
live their normal lives and move on from
their European tour gone horribly
wrong.
Laura starts seeing ghosts and
Daniel’s apartment gets broken into

want them back. They cannot escape
the danger that seems determined to
finish what was started.
Follow You Home is an unexpected
thriller written by a master of psychological thrillers. Mark Edwards is able
to weave a web of secrets, and unfold
one little shocking morsel after another
at precisely the right times. The reader
begins to think that the characters
must be losing their minds even when
he knows better.
Edwards tells the story in a way that
makes the reader doubt the characters’ motivations and wonder who is on
what side, even when it should be
obvious.
As the plot moves forward, so does
the introduction of new characters and
situations that thicken it and make it
tastier.
This all leads up to an unbelievable
ending that will make it hard for you to
escape this book long after you put it
down. If psychological thrillers with

Carrots are sweet treats in more than just cakes

T
he next time you are in the mood
for dessert, consider sautéing that
bunch of carrots in your vegetable bin
in butter and then giving them a long,
luxurious hot bath in coconut milk. The
silky result, when crowned with spices,
golden raisins and crushed pistachios,
is a rich pudding that just may make
you forget there is any dessert ingredient beyond surprising carrots.
If the furthest you’ve ventured into
such terrain is trying carrot cake, you
are in for some treats, as just such an
Indian-style sweet-spicy pudding will
immediately alert you. Simply making
crisp oat and whole-wheat cookies,
brimming with thin carrot “coins”
nestled next to dark chocolate chips,
dark chocolate-covered raisins and
chopped walnuts may mean you never
settle for plain chocolate-chip or
oatmeal-raisin varieties again.
Here are a few other dessert ideas
for the just-sweet-enough vegetable:
Add shredded carrots, finely
chopped dates and well-drained
minced pineapple to a brownie recipe
and finish with cream-cheese frosting.

Cookies are one of the many sweet treats that benefit from the addition of carrots.
Yields 6 servings.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium
heat and then add carrots. Reduce
heat to medium-low and coat carrots in
butter.
Carefully stir in coconut milk;
simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 45
minutes; stirring occasionally.
Stir in rest of ingredients, except for
pistachios. Stir frequently, until sugar is
dissolved into a pudding-like consistency, about 15 minutes.
Cool slightly and carefully transfer

T
he Apple and Pumpkin Festival at
Bill’s Berry Farm continues
throughout October, on Fridays and
Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. New
for 2015, Bill’s Berry Farm now offers
its famous hot and fresh donuts every
Saturday. October brings the return of
a favorite flavor — pumpkin donuts!
Spend some time treasure-hunting in
the pumpkin patch for that perfect
carving pumpkin, or for heirloom
pumpkins, decorative gourds and a
variety of winter squash. You can also
buy them already picked at the new
Berry Farm Store, which also offers
vintage décor and homemade pies,
made fresh and ready to take home.
Some family-friendly activities during
the October festival include pony rides,
the animal farm, the barnyard train,
hayrides, barbecue and a fall favorite,
the popular squeeze-your-own cider,
expanded last year to accommodate a
growing number of customers who love
the hands-on experience.
“As far as I know, we are the only
farm in the state to offer a squeezeyour-own option” said owner Bill
Michener. “It has become a tradition for
a lot of families.”
New for 2015 is FarmLand, an farmfun attraction for ages 5 and up. A $7
wristband allows you to go in and out
all day to the Barnyard Mystery Corn
Maze, a huge straw climb, pumpkin
bowling, an obstacle course, “steer”
roping and more.
Come out Tuesday through Thursday afternoons and enjoy a discounted
entry of just $5! Smaller children will

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, learn about prevention
By Sara Nelson
I
have treated women (and men!) with
breast cancer for more than 15 years.
It has made me acutely aware of the
struggles that go with having this
condition. Observing the suffering that
comes with breast cancer has made
me very interested in reducing the risk
of developing it in the first place.
There is an unpredictable element
when it comes to cancer, but it is
possible to reduce your odds of getting
it. Prevention is possible. Prevention
can not only cost less, but have
countless other priceless benefits. So,
this October, I celebrate healthy
breasts. You can, too! Here is how:
1. Know that genetics don’t mean
inevitability. Genetics are triggered by
environment. That environment consists of factors like inflammation,
oxidative stress, diet and nutritional
factors, insulin resistance, immune
imbalance and hormonal influence.
2. Food is an amazing tool for
reducing the risk of disease.
Hippocrates said, let food be your
medicine, and medicine your food.
In this short article I can’t tell you all
the possibilities. But we know that

4. Sleep in a dark room and reduce
screen time. Light toxicity — too much
exposure to artificial light — interferes
with melatonin production. This
hormone is important not only for good
sleep but also for lowering estrogen
production.

It is the most commonly diagnosed

It is the second leading cause of

Inspirational speaker Consuelo Castillo Kickbusch shares her powerful message
with women and youth throughout the U.S. You can hear her speak on Oct. 26.
Hispanic leader will speak
at women’s luncheon
O
n Oct. 26, Consuelo Castillo
Kickbusch will bring her
powerful message of effective
leadership to Tri-Cities women at the
annual Women Helping Women
fundraising luncheon at 12 noon at
the TRAC Center in Pasco.
Born and raised along the border
in a small barrio in Laredo, Texas,
Consuelo became all too familiar
with the challenges of poverty,
discrimination and illiteracy. Although she grew up without material
wealth, she learned through valuable
lessons taught by her immigrant
parents that she was rich in culture,
tradition, values and faith.
The values Consuelo learned as a
child served her well throughout her
esteemed career in the U.S. military.
When the opportunity to assume a
command post arose, Lieutenant
Colonel Castillo Kickbusch surprised
her military commanders by deciding
to retire. She chose to honor her
mother’s dying wish to get back to
her roots and become a community
leader.
In 1996, Consuelo retired from the
military and dedicated her time to
operating Educational Achievement
Services, Inc. and fulfilling her
mission of preparing tomorrow’s
leaders today. Her organization
conducts anti-bullying programs and
student leadership training, and
sponsors programs such as “iShine” to
inspire and empower young women.
Her Family Leadership Institute helps
families with the knowledge and tools
they need to succeed.
She has published a book entitled
Journey to the Future: A Roadmap for
Success for Youth and produced a
“Journey to the Future” video as well
as audio CDs that reinforce her
messages.
She shares her story with women
and youth throughout the U.S. and has
worked with more than a million
children and parents. She has been
profiled on CNN, Univision and National
Public Radio.
The Women Helping Women Fund
Tri-Cities was founded in 2000, and
since its first luncheon the annual
event has raised in excess of a million
dollars. The 2014 fundraising luncheon
alone raised $92,000 to help fund more
than 75 programs that benefit women
and children in our community.

First Bank branches in Pasco,
Kennewick and Richland.
TCPN provides free and confidential
services to new and expectant parents, including free pregnancy tests
with ultrasound confirmation, and the
opportunity to enroll in its “Learning
and Earning Education Program.” Its
clients are able to make well-informed
decisions about pregnancy and sexual
health. Its “Stronger Fathers Program”
focuses on preparing men for fatherhood through mentors, counseling and

Thursday. Also, a sexual integrity and
healthy relationships program is taught
in youth groups and schools.

A cruise may just be the perfect family vacation
By Sondra Wilson
It’s always a challenge to be the
planner for a family vacation on a
cruise ship and to select the right ship
with the right accommodations going
to the right places. It’s even more
challenging when you have multiple
age groups and everybody has to find
something to love.
I just completed a cruise with my
family and two children ages eight and
13. I selected Royal Caribbean because I thought that the kids would
really enjoy all of the amenities
including a flowrider, a rock-climbing
wall, ice skating, putt-putt golf and
much more. I prepaid all of our shore
excursions and I also prepaid three
specialty dining restaurants. I wanted
everybody to enjoy their trip, so I
booked balconies for everyone.
Of course, I did all this through
Travel Leaders, and you should as
well. My surprise was that the kids
enjoyed the trip but took advantage of
none of the onboard activities. They did
not want to be in the children’s programs and they did not want to try any
of the bells and whistles that I thought
would occupy them. They, in fact,
wanted to hang out with their parents
and grandparents and just have a great
time which we did.
During our sea days we played
Bingo, used the pool and even saw a
demonstration on towel folding. We
had three specialty dining restaurants,
including a new-age Mexican, a familystyle Italian and a steakhouse. All of
them were really great and we all
enjoyed the experience of dressing up
and going to a restaurant aboard a
cruise ship.
The dining-room food was also very
good, and we chose traditional dining
so we would get to know our waiter
and his support staff. At the end of the
cruise we wanted to take our waiter
Sheraton home with us. The girls got a
big kick out of having their room
steward make animals every night out
of towels.
My son-in-law enjoyed virtual reality
golf. My daughter enjoyed spa treatments and working out at the gym.
Our shore excursions, which were
preselected, all turned out great. We
loved visiting stingray city in the
Cayman Islands, which was a big
pleaser for every age group. Watching
my eight-year-old hold a stingray and
give it a kiss was a magical moment.
they raked it several times while we
were there. The staff was encouraged
to play and entertain the kids. We had
great bar and food service and a DJ
playing great Bob Marley music all day
long. It couldn’t have been a better
more glorious day.
Regardless of what your family
chooses to do while they’re on board,
Royal Caribbean does a great job of
entertaining everyone. I do have to say
that, rather than put the stress and
strain on one particular person to plan
the family reunion trip, please call us at
Travel Leaders and put the burden on
us to produce perfection. My staff did

has become an international draw for
tennis and golf tournaments, art
exhibits, and music and film festivals.
The famed Coachella Festival is a twoweekend, sellout April event that draws
megastars and music fans from around
the world.
Palm Springs International Airport
caters to some 1.8 million passengers
each year, with high-season nonstop
flights from several U.S. and Canadian
cities. Those who drive in from the west
on Interstate 10 are greeted by gigantic
windmill farms that flank the landscape
— and which are available to tour.
There’s something for everyone here,
including a ride on the world’s largest
rotating tramcar 6,000 feet up Mount
San Jacinto, with cooler temps for
hiking and dining.
Palm Springs has long been a
playground for the rich and famous,
attracting Hollywood stars such as Bob
Hope, Lucy and Desi, Elvis Presley,
Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra and
U.S. Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy,
Nixon, Ford, Clinton and Obama.
And it’s a fun getaway for the rest of
us, too, including Canadian and
Midwest snowbirds: those seeking
warm weather, year-round tans,
manicured golf courses, inviting pools,
fine cuisine, gorgeous orange sunsets,
shopping, and live entertainment (led
by the renowned McCallum Theatre).

WSU trustee earns alumni award
Philanthropist and former NFL
quarterback Mark Rypien has been
honored with the Washington State
University Alumni Association’s Alumni
Achievement Award. The award was
given for his accomplishments in
athletics and community service,
including the establishment of the
Rypien Foundation to assist local
families struggling with childhood
cancers.
Rypien was selected by the Washington Redskins in the sixth round of
the 1986 NFL draft. He led the
Redskins to an NFL championship in
1991 and won Super Bowl MVP honors
in 1992. He earned two trips to the Pro
Bowl.
In 1998, Rypien lost his son Andrew
to childhood cancer. He established
the Rypien Foundation in 2004 to
provide hope and help for families
fighting childhood cancers. Funds from
the foundation go directly to improving
care and quality of life for families
battling cancer in the Inland Northwest.
Rypien has served WSU as a
member of the WSU Board of Trustees
and the Athletics Steering Committee
and as a WSU Foundation benefactor.
He is a member of the WSU Athletics

record in passing yards, total offense
and touchdowns. A four-year football
letterman, he was named the top Pac10 quarterback in 1985 and earned AllAmerican honors in 1984 and 1985.
The Alumni Achievement Award was
created in 1970 to recognize alumni
who have given outstanding service to
WSU and made contributions to their
professions and communities. The

self. Downhill skiing is considered a
high-risk, high injury sport. Crosscountry isn’t. The pace is slower, but
the pay off can be just as thrilling.
3. FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
I’ve heard it said that if you can walk,
you can cross-country ski. It’s not
exactly true because there are skills
involved, and you need to learn them to
maximize your fun and minimize your
risk. But just about anyone of any age
can earn to cross-country ski, so the
8-year-olds and 80-year-olds can play
together, and hot-dogging
snowboarders are nowhere to be seen.
4. THE GEAR HAS IMPROVED.
Backcountry cross-country skiing —
ungroomed trails on wider skis, with
edges — is giving new life to crosscountry, and so is skate skiing. My
new backcountry skis are much lighter
(and shorter) than my old ones. It
makes the uphills much easier and the
downhills more controllable. Learning to
snow plow is essential no matter what
your gear, and the newer, lighter skis
with edges make that much easier, too.
5. YOU CONNECT TO NATURE.
When you downhill ski, you need to
focus full attention on your technique,
your turns and avoiding trouble. The
margin for error is small. When you
cross-country ski, not so much. It’s
slower, less risky, more meditative. You
can look around, absorb the beauty,
appreciate nature in all her winter
splendor. Part of the magic of crosscountry is the regular, repetitive
breathing — slow, steady, deep. It
takes you to another place, physically,
mentally, spiritually.
I can’t wait to go back.

October should be a mellow month in the garden
to you, figure out a way to label your
iris plants so you know what’s what.
By Micki Perry
A
s I write this it’s almost October,
past the autumnal equinox, and a
harvest moon is on the horizon. It is
definitely fall.
Leaves are turning color and starting
to fall, and the garden is making a last
show of roses, feverfew, asters and
mums. The rose of Sharon and butterfly bushes are still blooming, but there
are fewer blooms and more mess as
the season wanes. The garden color
scheme is changing to mostly golds,
reds, oranges and purples — warm
colors with a touch of coolness. Even
though we are still enjoying warm
days, it gets cold at night, and by the
middle of October we will probably
have our first frost. Autumn is a time to
slow down and savor the moments —
in other words, to “mellow out.”
Things to do
But there is still much to do in the
fall garden. If you have a vegetable
garden, there are probably a lot of
veggies to harvest before the first frost.
You may want to cover your tomatoes
until you get them all picked. I have
found that throwing old sheets over the
vines works for a while, but the sheets
do need to be removed during the day
and put back on in the late afternoon,
so it is just a temporary stop-gap
solution.
Pick as many tomatoes as you can
— even the green ones. There are lots
of recipes using green tomatoes:
salsas, chutney, mincemeat and, of
course, fried green tomatoes. Try
wrapping them in newspaper or pages
from an old phone book. They will ripen
gradually in a cool garage. Don’t rush
to dig up carrots, turnips and rutabagas. They only get sweeter after a
frost.
As leaves begin to fall, rake them
out of your flower beds and onto the
lawn. When you mow the grass, the
lawnmower will mulch them up and mix
them with the grass clippings. This

Instead of discarding those fallen leaves, rake them onto your lawn, shred them with
the mower, and use them along with the grass clippins as mulch for flower beds.
mixture makes great mulch for your
flower beds, which you should be
gradually cleaning up by cutting back
spent perennials and pulling up dead
annuals.
You might want to plant bulbs in the
holes left after you pull out the annuals
— that’s a little labor-saving shortcut
because you don’t have to dig new
holes. Remember to plant most bulbs
to a depth that is three times their
height. You can layer them in pots or
in the ground at various heights for a
continuous succession of blooms in
the spring.
Fall is the time to plant new bulbs
for spectacular spring showings, and
you can keep on planting until the
ground gets frozen solid.
then is that you can usually remember
what color they are and label them
right after they bloom. You can even
write the names on the leaves with a
permanent marker. But in summer, it is
just too hot to be dividing them, so in
our area this job can usually wait until
fall when you are cleaning up the iris
beds anyway. A lot of the leaves have
dried up and they look ratty. It’s a good
time to dig up the clumps and divide
them.
Only save the rhizomes with lots of
roots and throw away the mid-sections
with few roots and no sprouts or
leaves. Replant the sections with new
growth. Trim the leaves and label them
with a marker if you want to.
I usually pull all the leaves off the

bloom, and the advantage of doing it
There are several schools of thought
about how much cleanup is necessary
in the fall garden. If you are a real
neatnik, you will probably want to tidy
up all perennials and remove all
remnants of annuals. Rake, mow or
mulch all the leaves and garden refuse
and leave everything as neat and tidy
as possible for winter and spring. If you
enjoy the look of frost and snowcovered grasses, and you like seed
heads, berries and brush piles left for
the birds and other wildlife, you can
leave some areas of the garden natural
and untidy. If you are of the “let it rot!”
persuasion, you will leave all leaves in
place except on the lawn, and let the
perennials and vegetable plants rot in
place in the garden to add humus. You
can wait until spring to really clean up
the garden.
All three approaches have their
merit, and it really is a matter of
personal preference, but I personally
like to have things a little tidy before
the snow flies.
Even though my inclination is to be a
garden neatnik, I have to remind myself
and remind you too, that fall is a time
to be mellow. If you don’t get everything
done that you planned to do, it really
doesn’t matter. Nature is benevolent,
winter is a time to rest, and spring will
come whether we are ready or not. You
can always do a final cleanup in the
spring, and the birds and wildlife will
love and appreciate the wild places you
left for them as winter habitat and
forage.
Cozy up, relax, and enjoy a mellow
fall season!

IN BRIEF
‘Night at the Reach’ focuses on night sky
On Oct. 16 from 6 to 11 p.m., the Hanford Reach Interpretive Center will hold
a special night-time family event, “Night at the Reach,” to celebrates the
astronomy of the night sky. The cost is $8 for adults and $6 for students,
seniors and military members. There will be no charge for children under 5 and
Reach members. To save a dollar, bring a non-perishable food item to donate
to Second Harvest. The Reach is partnering with the Columbia Basin College
Moore Observatory and the Tri-City Astronomy Club, which will have activities,
crafts and presentations about the night sky and deep space. A live remote
viewing from the CBC observatory is also planned. Bring the family and come
out to look at the stars and planets through telescopes and learn about the
constellations, the solar system and the universe.
Reach sponsors family fun with a purpose
A once-a-month workshop at the Hanford Reach Interpretive Center will bring
out the creativity in your family. On Oct. 17, learn about catapults and make
one to catapult candy and pumpkins. On Nov. 14, learn about robots and make
simple machines. On Dec. 12, make a wood, glass or string ornament. The
activity starts at noon and runs till 2 p.m. It is limited to 25 people, so you need
to call Kris at (509) 943-4100, ext.108, to reserve a spot. The fee is $5 for a
family of 6 and $3 for members of the Reach.

River cruise follows route Lewis and Clark traveled
By Ruth A. Hill
Creators Syndicate
Hells Canyon’s terraced green
mountains and Snake River waters
surrounded us, probably looking about
like they did when the Lewis and Clark
Expedition cruised the same topography more than 200 years ago. But our
charge through that gorge wasn’t in
clunky log canoes. It was in 21stcentury jet boats that gave us our
exhilarating perspectives on the
canyon’s millennia of geological and
human history. The corps rode with us,
however, in narrations about their
adventures.
Other waterborne pleasures were
ours onboard our small mother ship,
Un-Cruise Adventures’ S.S. Legacy.
Onboard and ashore, my forever friend
Ernestine and I enjoyed a memorable
variety of activities and relaxation
throughout our week in the former
Oregon Territory. In all, we floated
1,000 miles round-trip out and back to
Portland on the Willamette River,
through the amazing lock system on
the Columbia River, and into Washington and Clarkston, Idaho. We also
afforded ourselves a day at either end
of the float week in the city and caught
some attractions that included the
annual Rose Festival along the waterfront.
Our 88-passenger replica coastal
steamer with the look and feel of a
A cruise on the S.S. Legacy begins and ends in Portland.
Victorian vessel carried us near our
shore-side tour sites, provided an
excellent atmosphere for relaxation
during float times and offered great
vantage on the region’s stunning
natural beauty. Among our “something
for everyone” stops were wineries,
pioneer-era museums, national park
sites and the stunning Multnomah
Falls center in the Columbia River
Gorge. As the river carried us along,
everyone concentrated on glimpses of
majestic Mount Hood that occasionally
appeared on our cloudless horizons.
Engineers and other techies among

us loved our time at the historic
Bonneville hydroelectric dam. For
marvels of a different kind, we did the
art collections in the Maryhill Museum
of Art that sits high above the Columbia
River and next to a replica Stonehenge
World War I memorial. Both sites were
left for posterity by one of the
Northwest’s most flamboyant developers, Sam Hill. His colorful stories kept
popping up in narratives all along our
voyage. Our Wednesday in Walla
Walla took us to a couple of wineries
and into a poignant frontier massacre
story at the Whitman Mission National
Park Site.
Onboard creature comforts included
optional yoga classes and massage,
along with a great variety of culinary
experiences in the Klondike Dining
Room. We found cocktail hours in the
lounge were great times to mingle and
chat with fellow passengers about their
travel experiences and other topics.
Cruisers who want a casual, lowactivity adventure with emphasis on
cultural enrichment find this Un-Cruise
itinerary one of their best tickets. It is
not a choice for those who want
onboard casinos and leggy entertainment, though some fellow floaters
added card games to their evening
activities in the Legacy’s Pesky
Barnacle Saloon. With its Wild West
decor and help-yourself flow of beer
and wine dispensers, folks in the mood
for yesteryear organized wager games
and some slipped into Victorian
wearables flowing out of the saloon’s
costumes trunk.
The small number of fellow passengers — mostly from the United States
and in the senior-something age range
with a mix of couples and singles —
was another cruise plus we enjoyed.
Notable stars among us were an
Australian couple who kept the laughter flowing with their tales from Down
Under.
Open seating in the dining room and
casual dress promoted a shipboard
ambience of first-name friendliness with
both passengers and crew, especially
Daniel, our affable bartender who
seemed never to get a drink order he
couldn’t pour. Good food and gracious
service from the crew promoted
conversation, too, in the lounge for
each evening’s cocktail hour and
around our dining tables. Chef’s
choices for dinner included local fish,
meat or vegetarian selections in just
the right portions for maintaining good
personal mobility — no groaning
boards for overindulgence. Local wines
and microbrews were in abundance,
and delectable desserts tempted us
every lunch and dinner.
Riding with the early-19th-century
expedition — at least in spirit — is
best done on a small ship, we learned,
because we had easy access to our
onboard Lewis and Clark expert, Todd
Weber, who never got a passenger
question about the history he could not
answer. Dressed in buckskin and
equipped with an array of replica
weapons and implements used by the
expedition, Weber carried us along in
several shipboard narratives with
stories, maps and artifacts. He stimulated our curiosity about Thomas
Jefferson’s Corps of Discovery quest for
a water route to the Pacific that
changed the course and destiny of
America. There was nothing dry about
his ladling of history. Each “episode”
made us hungry for the next installment that mingled facts, maps and
newspaper reports from “back East” to
put us in a time-travel mode.
The finale expedition story put a nice
cap on the week, following our final
day’s visit to Fort Clatsop near Astoria,
the camp where the corps spent their
last miserable, wet winter before
turning back toward home in the East.
Weber’s enthralling installment about
what happened to key members of the
group after they returned to civilization
sent me to several books for more
information once I was back home.
At Saturday morning disembarkation
in Portland, we expressed our thanks
to the crew of Un-Cruise for standing
delightfully apart from the herd culture
of big-ship alternatives. For one thing,
we left the Legacy without even a bar
bill to pay. Everything’s covered with a
reservation, and that means food, all
bar output, an onboard massage and
shore excursions. Our minds were free
to leave the ship with a good experience intact, no receipts in our wallets,
and dreams about our next float to
another Un-Cruise destination, maybe
Alaska, Mexico or Panama.
