First official bout in the Tri-Cities! Atomic City Roller Girls vs. Cinder Kittens vs. Slaughter County vs. Rainy City. Doors open at 2 p.m., bodies hit the floor at 3 p.m. All ages, cost is $10 at the door.About Roller Derby:Forget what you knew about the WWE-style derby of the past! Contemporary roller derby is an international, predominantly female sport that typically operates on an amateur (or unpaid) circuit, and has a strong do-it-yourself ethic which often features both athleticism and a satirical campy/punk aesthetic. Game play (in a nutshell): During a bout, two teams of five skaters each face off on the track. Each team consists of a pivot, three blockers and a jammer. The pivot sets the pace and leads the group of skaters, and the blockers stay behind them, guarding each other in what we call "the pack." The jammers are the scoring skaters and start about 20 feet behind the pack. When the whistle blows, the pack takes off. On a second whistle, the jammers start fighting their way through the pack. The jammers score points by lapping the track and passing members of the opposing team. The rest of the team tries to stop the opposing jammer from passing them and scoring. At the same time, they knock around the opposing team's blockers to help their jammer score. For full official rules visit www.wftda.com.

All new music, choreography and routines have been incorporated in this anniversary edition with a major emphasis on the historical background and foundation of the Lipizzaner breed, from its original breeding and use as a horse of war to a horse of nobility and aristocracy to a living form of equestrian art. The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, in its presentation of Lipizzans, and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Also included in the performance is a segment called the "Airs Above the Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art. When you see the Lipizzans perform, it is like stepping back four hundred years and viewing one of the greatest equine ballets in history. TICKET PRICES: There are a limited number of Gold Circle Seat tickets available for $26.50 (no discounts apply). Regular Admission adult tickets are $22.50 and $19.50 each.

Genocide in Our Time: Why Darfur Matters A presentation by James Waller Thursday, September 17, 7 p.m., Richland Public Library Hosted by Friends of the Richland Public Library As global citizens, it is imperative to recognize that genocide continues to occur in the twenty-first century. Since February 2003, the genocide in Darfur, Africa’s largest country, has devastated millions of non-combatant civilians in Darfur. This timely presentation will contribute to the public understanding of contemporary life by exploring the ways in Darfur matters in a globalized world and how we, as citizens, can respond to shape political will and impact public policy. In the unlikely case that the genocide in Darfur would end in the near future, this presentation will still be applicable to empowering communities and individuals with the tools to prevent and stop other genocides in the future.

In reflecting upon his time spent in the Israeli army, filmmaker Ari Folman has produced Waltz with Bashir, a profoundly moving antiwar meditation that is equal parts personal memoir, history lesson, and animated fever dream. In 1982, Folman was a soldier during Israel's first invasion of Lebanon. This was a painful moment in history, when the newly elected president of Lebanon, Bashir Gemayel, was killed in an explosion. Furious, his party, the Christian Phalangists, retaliated by storming into the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps and massacring thousands of innocent victims. Over 20 years later, Folman is disturbed to realize that he has no memory of this incident even though he was there at the time. In order to remember, he tracks down several of his friends and soldiers who were there with him to find out what really happened. Series Passes are available.

Not rated (PG-13?). Japanese/Burmese/English (subtitles where necessary). Shôji Yasui stars in director Kon Ichikawa's adaptation of Michio Takeyama's antiwar novel. Set in Burma during the waning days of WWII, a unit of Japanese soldiers hangs on, inspired by the virtuoso Burmese harp playing of Private Mizushima. When the war finally ends, the unit is taken to an internment camp at Mudon to prepare for repatriation. The British plan on cleaning out a pocket of die-hard Japanese mountain fighters, but Mizushima volunteers to try to persuade the men to surrender. When they refuse, the mountain garrison is wiped out, and Mizushima himself is badly wounded. A Buddhist monk nurses the soldier back to health, and when Mizushima leaves for the camp at Mudon, he dons the garb of a monk. As he makes his way slowly across the Burmese countryside, observing the endless miles of torn and broken corpses, the impact of the war's waste begins to weigh on the harp player. Mizushima begins to either burn or bury as many as he is able to, increasingly overtaken by the idée fixe of burying all the Japanese dead in the country. Series Passes are available.

The sensory aspects of wine? Learn, taste and compare your perceptions with standard essences. What does it mean when a wine is described as "floral" or "fruity?" In this seminar, participants will learn through sensory analysis to identify characteristic aromas and flavors that occur in red and white wines. The seminar will be hosted by 2 professionals: Dr. Kerry Ringer, assistant professor and extension enologist, Washington State University; and, Dr. Richard Larsen, a WSU adjunct professor and a wine judge for this year's Tri-cities Wine Festival. Both Drs. Ringer and Larsen are involved in research on sensory analysis of wines. So, come and enjoy a fun, educational and highly interactive seminar and advance your level of sensory perception for both aroma and taste.
Learn why acid level is important in winemaking. Learn why and how a winemaker changes acid levels, as well as deals with other things such as "pH" and tannins. Have you ever read tasting notes at a winery that said a particular wine is "3.5 pH" or that "it spent 5 days on the skins during fermentation" and wondered exactly what that meant? Wonder no more! Dr. Wade Wolfe of Thurston Wolfe Winery will share with attendees the different aspects of wine production, including those things a winemaker can do to control the overall acidity of wine and/or adjust the pH and tannin levels. Guests will enjoy different wines from Thurston Wolfe, as well as some new wines that may still be in production to gain a better understanding of wine chemistry - harvest willing! Dr. Wolfe, along with his wife Rebecca Yeaman, started Thurston Wolfe Winery in 1987 in Prosser, WA. Wade is a graduate of the University of California, Davis with a doctorate in viticulture and enology.
Yes, Tempranillos outside of Spain! It all started because Earl Jones found that certain Spanish wines made from the Tempranillo grape enhanced the spicy meats and peppery foods he enjoyed. Not much Tempranillo was being produced in the U.S. in the 1980s, so Jones studied climate zones and determined that the area around Roseburg, Oregon, best matched the Tempranillo growing region in Spain. He started Abacela Winery in the 1990s and made his first commercial Tempranillo in 1997. In 2000 Abacela's '98 Estate Tempranillo won a double-gold medal and beat all 19 Spanish Tempranillo entries at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. Nearly a decade later, the data shows about 2000 acres of Tempranillo to be planted in more than 15 U.S. states with the biggest production in Oregon and Washington. Earl Jones will be leading this seminar and help us smell, swirl, sip and learn about some of the Northwest's best.
Red, white, pink? What to buy, what to pay, where to begin - learn the basics from a wine steward. This seminar is being co-sponsored by Yoke's Fresh Market, West Richland, and will feature Sommelier Christopher Sagadin. He will be introducing new, blossoming, as well as the more experienced wine connoisseurs, to the art of pairing wine and food on a budget. Attendees can expect to learn what types of wines go with different foods. This will help the buyer to understand why and what wine characteristics generally match with certain kinds of appetizers and dishes. Christopher will also be highlighting some examples of his favorites. So if you have ever stood in front of the wine aisle at your favorite wine shop or grocery store and wondered what to buy, come learn from one of the experts!

A faculty member in the College of Liberal Arts since 1995, Farley teaches 20th century Russian and eastern European history, including World War I, World War II and the Cold War.

Rated PD-13. English and French. James Marsh's dazzling, invigorating documentary Man on Wire tells the story of a truly inspiring figure. In the early 1970s, a fiery young Frenchman named Philippe Petit wanted to shake up the world. When he saw the World Trade Center being built in New York City, he found his mission. Petit was a trained high wire walker, and his goal was to set up a wire between the two towers and give the world a show it could never have expected. As is often the case with these endeavors, the actual high-wire walking was the easiest part of the plan. For nearly seven years, Petit worked on the project, recruiting associates who supported him every step of the way. Finally, after eight months in New York, the day came when Petit and his cronies jumped into action. This wasn't easy. They had to find a way to sneak past security and make their way to the top of the towers with heavy equipment, at which point they had to battle the elements to install the wire. After many close scares, the time came for Petit to realize his dream--and the rest, as they say, is history. Adults $3 unless BSA member. Series Passes are available.

Poets young and old, shy and bold, are invited to share their original poems at Open Mic Poetry Reading Night. “An open mic is an opportunity for poets to try out new works and get an immediate response — normally applause, as well as appropriate laughs or gasps or sighs,” said Leonard Orr, host the Open Mic. “We get people whose poems have been published and we get people who just wrote their first poem last week.” A sign-up sheet is passed around when the event starts. Each person who signs up is invited to the microphone to read an original poem — preferably no longer than 1-1/2 pages. As time allows, there will be a second or third round of poetry. Part of the Liberal Arts Season, sponsored by the Richland Arts Commission.

Not rated (PG-13?). Japanese (subtitled). Still Walking is a family drama that gets the family dynamic exactly right, a film that understands the ways in which unspoken resentments tend to accumulate and unresolved conflicts later harden into regrets. Unfolding over the course of a single day, the picture brings together three generations of a middle-class Japanese family under the grandparents' roof to pay tribute to their long deceased eldest son on the anniversary of his death. As in any domestic drama, everyone's got his issues and in the hothouse environment of the patriarchal household in which nearly the entire movie takes place, most of them come to light. The grandfather, a doctor forced to give up his practice when his eyesight started to fail, locks himself in his study, refusing to speak with his surviving son and emerging only at mealtimes. That son, an out-of-work art restorer, shows up with his new wife, a widow, and her young child, a domestic arrangement that, along with his perceived inability to live up to the example of his dead brother, puts him at some odds with his parents, even as he points out that his family situation is hardly anomalous in contemporary Japan. Meanwhile, his sister is planning on moving her own family into the house, an arrangement with which her mother is having some difficulty coming to terms. Adults $3 unless BSA member Series Passes are available.

Not rated. Swedish/FInnish (subtitled). Jan Troell's Everlasting Moments is about a turn-of-the-century Swedish woman, Maria Larsson (the magnificent Maria Heiskanen), who tries to escape the indignities of her life by taking photographs. Her fate, glorious and maddening, is to see with the utmost clarity both the miseries and joys of her existence. Maria emerges as a heroine of the most inexplicable and resolute sort. Married to the abusive alcoholic Sigfrid and mother of seven children, Maria does not often meekly acquiesce to Sigfrid's demands, and when he attacks her, she puts him in prision for attempted murder. With Sigfrid gone, the family is even more penurious, but it is as if a cloud has lifted. Maria's transformation evolves through her photography. Beginning as a lark under the guidance of the camera store owner, it expands into a self-defining preoccupation, a passion. Adults $3 unless BSA member Series Passes are available.

The Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society (LCBAS) will conduct its annual Christmas Bird Count on Saturday, January 2nd. The number of birds seen of each species during the daylong count will be tallied and forwarded to the National Audubon Society to be incorporated in their 110 year old data base. This database is the largest wildlife database in the world and is vital for determining the status of expanding and declining bird numbers. Anyone who enjoys looking at birds can help! Three areas confined to a 7.5 mile radius from selected points will be covered by participants. The count will begin at 7:30 a.m. at three TriCity locations: Richland: Meet at the “Fingernail” in Howard Amon Park and led by Ray Johnson (509 521 5971) Pasco: Meet at the Chiawana Park boat ramp led by Tom and Barb Clark (509 539 0857) Kennewick: Meet at the Audubon Nature Trail in Columbia Park led by Kevin Burke (240 422 9483) Groups will split into smaller teams from these three locations, each being led by experienced birders. The count will continue throughout the day beginning at that 7:30 a.m. start time. Those participating can take part as long as they wish. A $5 donation will be collected from all participants to help defray the expense of compiling the data. Everyone interested is encouraged to join in the count. Identifying the birds that are found can be left to the expert birders in the group. Volunteers are needed to count the numbers of birds identified. Experience is not necessary. Participants need to dress for the weather and bring binoculars. If planning to participate the entire day a bag lunch and water are recommended. A potluck will be held after the count at 6:00 p.m. at the Columbia Grange #938, 6300 Court Street in Pasco. The potluck will be followed by a reading of the list of bird sightings and discussion of the days events. For more detailed information go to www.LCBAS.org.

Bob with his white hair slicked back, with his black suit and tie, his trenchcoat and his Packard convertible and his penthouse apartment with the slot machine in the closet. Bob, who on the first day of this movie wins big at the races and then loses it all at roulette, and is cleaned out. Broke again. Adults $3 unless BSA member Series Passes are available.

Hosted by Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society A presentation by Dennis Dauble This presentation describes how fish and fishing are intertwined with the lifestyle and culture of Pacific Northwest residents. It provides background on historical fishing practices of American Indian tribes, shows the influence of white settlement on fish populations, and discusses how modern-day water-use practices lead to conflicts between resource management policy and public values.

A presentation by Jim Kershner Hosted by Friends of the Richland Public Library The story of Carl Maxey's life is the tale of a lifelong struggle to protect the underdog. Despite being kicked out of a Spokane orphanage during the Great Depression because of the color of his skin, he went on to become an undefeated boxing champion, Eastern Washington's first prominent African-American lawyer, a crusading civil rights leader, a controversial figure in the state's anti-Vietnam War movement and a flamboyant defense attorney. Maxey's story, set mostly in Spokane, is a compelling personal drama that demonstrates how one person's powerful belief in social justice and a pugnacious fighter's attitude can make a significant difference. Jim Kershner has been a staff reporter for Spokane's Spokesman-Review newspaper for more than 20 years and has written many articles about Spokane and Eastern Washington history. He is also a staff historian for HistoryLink.Org, the online encyclopedia of Washington State history, having written dozens of historical essays. In 2008, he published the biography, Carl Maxey: A Fighting Life. Since then, Kershner has delivered many talks about Maxey, including presentations at the Northwest African-American Museum in Seattle and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane; as well as the William J. Davis, S.J. Lecture at Gonzaga University, and the Black History Month Lecture at Whitworth University.

When Barnaby Folcey is murdered at a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, it transpires that he had a motive to murder everybody else but no one had a reason to want him dead.

A presentation by Joan Wolfberg Hosted by Franklin County Historical Society/Soroptimist International of Pasco-Kennewick For more than 30 years, Eleanor Roosevelt was the most powerful woman in America. She comes to life before your very eyes when Joan Wolfberg takes you on an amazing journey, from Eleanor's shy, awkward childhood, to life as the First Lady, and later to the United Nations. Along the way you'll learn about her belief in the equality of women, civil rights, human rights, politics, and freedom. You'll discover her relationship with FDR and others, her strengths, her weaknesses, her sense of humor, and her ideals for justice and decency. Joan Wolfberg is a Chautauqua scholar and professional actress formerly with the New Mexico and Florida Humanities Councils. Currently serving on the National Speakers Bureau of United Jewish Communities, Wolfberg travels throughout the country weaving a tapestry of drama and history into an educational and inspirational tale that focuses on the growth and development of the women she portrays. Through the magic of make-up, along with her acting ability and her heartfelt affinity for her characters, Wolfberg is able to convince audiences that they are, in fact, in the presence of Eleanor Roosevelt or Golda Meir.

To usher in spring, the symphony applies a palette of bold, musical color with Pictures at an Exhibition by Modeste Mussorgsky. This concert also brushes the wide canvas of talented, young players with its 50th anniversary presentation of the Mid-Columbia Symphony's Young artist competition winners.

When Barnaby Folcey is murdered at a family gathering at Marlgate Manor, it transpires that he had a motive to murder everybody else but no one had a reason to want him dead. While dying, he scrawled the letters b a r which can implicate everyone. While the bizarre group frantically tries to unmask the murderer, people vanish, poison is found in the sherry and the police take forever to arrive. Meanwhile, there's a secret treasure to be found, a mystifying limerick to decode and all sorts of doom to be avoided before the killer is finally unmasked.

The internationally recognized Holocaust Remembrance Day will be commemorated April 12 with a lecture, “Holocaust by Bullets,” by Brigit Farley, associate professor of history at Washington State University Tri-Cities. Farley’s lecture is part of the Liberal Arts Season of Events, sponsored by the Richland Arts Commission. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., (www.ushmm.org), the National Days of Remembrance mark the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising in 1942-1943. Jewish underground fighters organized a rebellion against the German authorities, who already had deported more than 265,000 ghetto residents to the Treblinka killing center. Farley teaches 20th century Russian and eastern European history, including World War I, World War II and the Cold War. She was among 22 faculty members from North American colleges and universities who attended the 2010 Jack and Anita Hess faculty seminar in January at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. The seminar focused on the fate of Jews living in Soviet territories during the Holocaust.

Hosted by Friends of the Mid-Columbia Libraries in 1909, more than 3.7 million visitors attended the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle. History-Link staff historian and storyteller, Alan J. Stein, uses anecdotes and period photographs to bring the fair alive as visitors beheld a cornucopia of buildings and exhibits and as they enjoyed the carnival-like, and often controversial, entertainments on the Pay Streak. Alan Stein has worked as a staff historian for History-Link.Org since 1998 and has written a vast amount of material on all aspects of Washington State history. In 2005, he began researching the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in preparation of its 2009 centennial. A book based on this research, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, Washington's First World's Fair, was published in 2009. Alan has given hundreds of talks on a variety of historical subjects, presenting to many local organizations. He is also a frequent speaker on KUOW Radio, and a listener once compared his radio voice to "honey over warm rocks."

This PG rated, family friendly film documents what happens when an environmentally guilty liberal living in NYC decides to avoid plastic, goes organic, becomes a bicycle nut, turns off his power and generally becomes a tree-hugger who tries to save the planet from environmental catastrophe while dragging his baby daughter and Prada-wearing, Four Seasons-loving wife along for the ride. And that’s just the beginning. Bill McKibben meets Bill Bryson in this seriously engaging look at one man’s decision to put his money where his mouth is and go off the grid for one year - while still living in New York City - to see if it’s possible to make no net impact on the environment. The film explores how we can realistically live a more “eco-effective” and, by turns, more content life in an age of inconvenient truths. There will be discussion and pledges for change, and refreshements will be served. (Fair trade organic coffee, tea, chocolate, and brownies.)

Poets young and old, shy and bold, are invited to share their original poems at Open Mic Poetry Reading Night. This is the last Open Mic for spring semester. The series restarts in fall 2010. “An open mic is an opportunity for poets to try out new works and get an immediate response — normally applause, as well as appropriate laughs or gasps or sighs,” said Leonard Orr, host the Open Mic. “We get people whose poems have been published and we get people who just wrote their first poem last week.” Part of the Liberal Arts Season, sponsored by the Richland Arts Commission.
The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages. The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into his placid country home an eccentric, breezy lady medium in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does Charles or his lovely second wife, Ruth, dream that the seance staged by the medium will summon back Charles' first wife, now "passed over" for seven years. But the lady from beyond, still handsome, still mischievous, appears and torments Charles by reminding him of their days and nights together. Only Charles can see or hear her. A floating vase, handed to her out of thin air, finally convinces Ruth that Charles is not losing his mind that his first wife is indeed in the room. The first wife has a ghostly plot in mind: if she can get Charles into an automobile accident and make a ghost of him, life in the spirit world will have more appeal for her. Mistakes occur, however, and it is Ruth who takes the fatal automobile ride and passes on only to return with the first wife to team up against Charles.

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages. The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into his placid country home an eccentric, breezy lady medium in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does Charles or his lovely second wife, Ruth, dream that the seance staged by the medium will summon back Charles' first wife, now "passed over" for seven years. But the lady from beyond, still handsome, still mischievous, appears and torments Charles by reminding him of their days and nights together. Only Charles can see or hear her. A floating vase, handed to her out of thin air, finally convinces Ruth that Charles is not losing his mind that his first wife is indeed in the room. The first wife has a ghostly plot in mind: if she can get Charles into an automobile accident and make a ghost of him, life in the spirit world will have more appeal for her. Mistakes occur, however, and it is Ruth who takes the fatal automobile ride and passes on only to return with the first wife to team up against Charles.

Guerra’s Coffee Company and Jose Tapia are proud to present “FAMILY: LIFE:INSPIRATION”—a photography exhibition featuring Terra Baysinger-Nyce. Sunnyside, WA April 27th, 2010, Guerra’s Coffee Company and local artist, Jose Tapia, are proud to present “FAMILY:LIFE:INSPIRATION,” a photography exhibition featuring the work of Terra Baysinger-Nyce. During the public discussion Saturday May 8th 2010, from 5:00PM – 11:00PM, Nyce will describe what happens when she looks through the lens of her camera. Live music will follow her discussion. Nyce’s exhibit can be viewed at Guerra’s Coffee Company May 8th thru June 11th, 2010. Terra Baysinger-Nyce, a Sunnyside native, lives with her husband and three beautiful children in Kenniwick, Washington. Terra is an artist, perfectionist, mother, realist, an ever-student of the art who found her expressive voice through photography. Fate, God, luck—whatever it might have been, connected her with photographer friends in Portland. They recognized her natural talent and designated themselves as her mentors; inviting her to photo shoots and editing sessions so that she could thoroughly experience every aspect of photography. Terra deeply enjoys creating portraits—not the rigid, plastic-smile kind, but the sincere, organic type: a genuine, less-posed style that captures the energy of the subjects, the natural light and their chosen setting. Her exhibition is a celebration of life and an expression of gratitude to her Father in heaven and her family and friends on earth.

The smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages. The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into his placid country home an eccentric, breezy lady medium in order to learn the language of the occult.

Hosted by Lit Fest/CBC English department an epic struggle between truth and justice forever changed the lives of dozens of African American soldiers stationed at Washington's Fort Lawton. Charged with rioting and with the lynching of an Italian prisoner of war, the soldiers endured the largest and longest Army court-martial of World War II. More than six decades later, the discovery of formerly top secret documents in the National Archives led to a historic verdict reversal and an unprecedented apology from the U.S. Government. Based on his book, On American Soil: How Justice Became a Tragedy of WWII, Hamann's presentation is appropriate for teenage audiences and up. It has been particularly well-received by schools, colleges, and universities, plus those with interest in military history, N.W. history, civil rights, legal history, black history, and Italian-American history. Jack Hamann is an author, documentary producer, and journalist. His career spans 29 years, including a decade as a network correspondent and documentary producer for CNN and PBS. His work has earned dozens of journalism honors, including ten regional Emmy awards. Hamann's assignments have taken him inside a pen with wild wolves in Yellowstone National Park, inside a prison with convicted killers in Siberia, 30 miles offshore with fishermen chasing giant tuna in the North Atlantic, three miles above sea level with peasants battling blight in Peru, and miles from nowhere mushing a team of champion dogs in the Yukon. His book, On American Soil: How Justice Became a Casualty of WWII, was named Investigative Book of the Year in 2005 by Investigative Reporters & Editors, Inc. Website: www.jackhamann.com

COL SOLARE ON RED MOUNTAIN With winemakers from Col Solare, Fidelitas, and Hightower Cellars featuring Chef Frank Magaña from Picazo 7Seventeen Wine Bar and Restaurant Italian for “shining hill,” Col Solare’s panoramic views from the top of Red Mountain to the Columbia Valley and Horse Heaven Hills set the stage for this lovely wine country evening. Col Solare is a full-bodied, rich, and aromatic red blend – the delicious result of a partnership between Chateau Ste. Michelle and Marchese Piero Antinori of Tuscany, whose family has produced wine since 1385. Also on Red Mountain is Fidelitas, where renowned winemaker Charlie Hoppes’ passion for winemaking is evident in his highly sought after wines. Fidelitas is a family-owned winery that is faithful to Cabernet Sauvignon, loyal to Bordeaux winemaking techniques, and true to Washington State’s Columbia Valley terroir. Finally, neighbors Tim and Kelley Hightower create stunning wines from their estate vineyards, channeling the vine’s energy where it needs to be – on the berries. Together, these wines provide the inspiration for Chef Frank Magaña. It’s his dream come true - to create dishes that showcase the best of Washington Wine Country and pair perfectly with the wines from this amazing region.
MERCER ESTATES IN PROSSER With winemakers from Mercer Estates, Pepper Bridge Winery, and Swiftwater Cellars featuring Chef Brad Patterson from Gasperetti's Wine Bar and Restaurant Wine is about coming together with family and friends – from harvesting the grapes and crafting the wine to enjoying it in the glass. Mercer Estates is a delightful consequence of two collaborations: the sun and soil of eastern Washington and the Mercer and Hogue families with renowned winemaker David Forsyth, who together produce superior wines that express the synergy of art and science. For Swiftwater Cellars, it was a simple pairing of winemaker Tony Rynders unique style and the Watts family’s 30-year dedication to top quality agriculture that has resulted in their premium wines crafted in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. And for family-owned Pepper Bridge Winery, the focus is on crafting world-class Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot wines that showcase their Walla Walla Valley estate vineyards. These wines will be paired with an authentic Italian meal created by Chef Brad Patterson of Gasperetti’s Restaurant and Bar, a family-owned restaurant serving Yakima since 1943, whose menus reflect the bounty of fresh fruit and vegetables available in the Yakima Valley. What can we say? It’s all in the family.
SHERIDAN VINEYARD IN ZILLAH With winemakers from Sheridan Vineyard, Darby Winery, and Sparkman Cellars featuring Chef Bear Ullman from the Marc Restaurant at the Marcus Whitman Hotel Rustic but chic, relaxed yet elegant, the barn at Sheridan Vineyard exemplifies the Washington Wine Country lifestyle. From here, take in the glorious views of Yakima Valley as you relax for an evening with some of Washington’s most avant-garde winemakers, and taste the very best of their boutique wineries. Your host, self-taught winemaker and founder of Sheridan Vineyard, Scott Greer, will handpick wines from his amazing portfolio of lush reds and crisp whites. Joining him will be winemaker and owner of Darby Winery, Darby English who, in just a few years, has managed to quickly distinguish himself as one of Woodinville's premier producers, with his well structured, palate-friendly wines. And last by certainly not least, Chris Sparkman, winemaker for Sparkman Cellars, General Manager of Waterfront Grill in Seattle, and consummate gentleman, will pour his award-winning wines while making sure that a good time is had by all. Pair these with the innovative, locally-inspired culinary creations of Chef Bear Ullman of The Marc Restaurant in Walla Walla, and you’ve got a true Washington Wine Country evening.

Learn hands-on how simple changes can make a huge difference in terms of conserving water- our most precious resource. The Responsible Bathroom Water Conservation Tour will feature both economic and ecological points in a 44-foot-long, walk-through mobile showroom and calculations of how much water and money consumers can save with efficient bathroom products. Water shortages will hit 36 states in the U.S. by 2013. Many communities are already experiencing water shortages, and this emerging topic will grow in importance with each passing year. At the same time, 78% of consumers are looking for ways to reduce their household utility bills, including water bills. Buying and building green saves money. Based on an average four-person household, using water-saving bathroom products could amount to an annual savings of $293 in water costs and 48,326 gallons of water.

Join us to taste and learn about seven hand-crafted small production Italian wines paired with seven tasty appetizers. Hosted by Tom Kelly - Small Vineyards Imports. Marchetti Later Harvest Verdicchio - 2009 - 100% Verdicchio. Full-bodied and lush, this is not a sweet wine. It is off-dry, taking advantage of an extra month on the vine to develop greater body, structure and fruit essence. It is deftly made, with lush fruits of pear and melon and a touch of honey complexion that retains beautiful acidity. A one of a kind wine from one of the great winemakers of Marche- Maurizio Marchetti. Paired with Grilled Apricot Ginger Prawns. Trevisiol Rossecco - NV - From Paolo Trevisiol, we proudly present his breathtaking sparkling rose', a light, effervescent delight that dances on the tongue with fresh berries, lively acidity and gentle bubbles. Trevisiol's trademark minerals shine through, making this wine serious while being delightful. Paired with Homemade toasted Crostini topped with Fig Jam & Gorgonzola cheese. Le Rote Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG - 2008 - 90% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and Malvasia Nera. From the shadows of the famous Towers of San Gimignano, this wonderfully charismatic wine has rich, chewy dark fruit, "wet" tannins, yet finishes very dry and clean. Remarkably, this wine was aged a full 1.5 years before release, a very rare and determined decision for a non-riserva Chianti - and the results show in the bottle. Smooth, black-cherry and sweet tobacco linger on a faint, pleasant finish that is touched off by just the right hint of oak. Lovely. Paired with a Mini Vegetarian Antipasto plate including white beans, roasted cherry tomatoes, local bitter greens and a parmesan crisp. Poderi Elia Barbera d'Alba - 2006 - 100% Barbera d'Alba. Made with vines that are nearly 90 years old, the purity and confidence of the fruit are stunning. The freshly pressed cranberries on the nose are accentuated by lush, bright pomegranate. As always with the wines of Federico Stella, the tannins are very soft and integrated, always granular and unimposing. Paired with Sautéed Fresh Mixed Mushrooms & Leeks drizzled with a Pecorino Fonduta. Palama Arcangelo Primitivo - 2009 - 100% Primitivo. Nini' Palama is a small estate in a sea of gigantic producers - a speck of an island on the Salento peninsula; and he would have it no other way. With perhaps the lowest yields in the entire appelation, Palama is committed to the highest quality "everyday" wines that can be produced without the fuss of new oak - just ripe, fresh, powerful fruit. His Primitivo is a delight; lush, intense, yet bright and approachable, with notes of dark anis, cedar and blackberry confit. Paired with Homemade toasted Crostini with an Olive Tapenade. Marchetti Montepulciano - 2007 - 100% Montepulciano. Famiglia Marchetti has been making wine in the Marche for over a century, and for at least 50 years, have produced one of the top Montepulciano made anywhere. In our opinion, Montepulciano is Italy's greatest, most elegant expression of the grape. And few, if any, are making this wine better than Maurizio Marchetti. Laced with an intriguing smoky, cranberry spiciness and ripe plums, this is an everyday favorite for both sides of the Atlantic. Paired with Grilled Rosemary Balsamic Beef Medallions - marinated with fresh rosemary, garlic, balsamic vinegar & olive oil accompanied with rosemary red potatoes. Giuseppe Lonardi Privilegia - 2006 - 50% Corvina, 50% Cabernet Franc. From the incomparable Giuseppe Lonardi comes this revolutionary blend of Corvina (the primary grape in Amarone) and Cabernet Franc. It is elegant with a delightful combination of bold Mediterranean fruits and a dusty potpourri finish. Matured for 22 months in Barrique, it is a classic Italian wine that will age for 15 years. Very limited production. Recently recognized by the Italian Sommelier Association as the top wine in Italy. Paired with tastes of Gourmet Chocolate. A limited number of bottles of these wines will be for sale at retail prices. CALL FOR RESERVATIONS!!

The romantic comedy concerns Gillian Holroy, a young sultry witch who is interested in pursuing a romantic fling (as witches can’t fall in love) with her upstairs neighbor Shep Henderson.

But despite lore, Gillian realizes she HAS fallen in love just about the same time Shep realizes he’s been bewitched—conjuring up potential disaster for the Holroy family and a joyful romantic comedy for audiences!

What a great way to shop for wine!Wines:SaliceSalentino - Apulia, Italy:SaliceSalentino is a small community on the Salento Peninsula in Apulia in the heelof Italy. Winegrapes have been grown here since the 6th century BC andare often left to grow as untrellised and untrained bushes which require handharvesting. Most of the grapes grown in this region of Apuglia areNegroamaro, thought to be a native grape, and two species of Malvasia Nera,imported from Greece more than a thousand years ago. Negroamaro is themain grape used in Salice Salentino, which uniquely stands out amongst otherbold varietals of Italy with its rustic dark fruit and bitterness. Darkand bitter in both color and flavor, it was rightly so for the translation tomean "black bitter," deriving from both Greek and Latin languages. Thesewines are made in the Italian style-restrained, disciplined, not overextracted,and with moderate alcohol levels. These wines are superb food wines andwill marry with a wide range of Italian and non-Italian dishes. 2008 PalamaArcangelo Salice Salentino80%Negroamaro, 20% Malvasia Nera. Winemaker Cosimo (aka Nini) Palamà madethis wine in honor of his father, Arcangelo. Winemaker Nini Palamà's family hasbeen making small lot wines in the highly underrated southern heel of Italy,Puglia, for almost 75 years. This wine is expansive, rich and robust onthe palate, with an elegance that only comes from small productions and expertcraftsmanship. With aromas of steeped plums, cracked pepper, blackberryconfit and cinnamon; dark and sharp fruit with rare seasoning shaken in; it isa delicious experience. 6.50 glass / 25 bottle / 18 to go2006Leone de Castris Salice Salentino Riserva90%Negroamaro, 10% Black Malvasia of Lecce. Leone de Castris has craftedSalice Salentino for over 50 years, and their experience shows. Wine ofan intense red colour with garnet-coloured hints. Fruity sensations ofblackberry and black cherry on the nose, with notes of basil and sweet spicesdue to the refinement in oak barrels. In the mouth it is smooth andbalanced with a strong but never intrusive tannin. Pleasantly earthy witha long lasting finish. I love this wine! 7.50 glass / 29bottle / 19 to go 2005Li Veli Pezzo Morgana Salice Salentino100%Negroamaro. A full and persistent fragrance with notes of prune &cherry jam and sensations of caramel & pepper that reinforce a veryinteresting nose indicating a strong body. A rich, slightly rusticmouthfeel with a slightly burnt, earthy quality that accentuates deep roastedplum and mocha toned fruit. Wide and warm, flavors of pulpy fruit withstructure and concentration, a long finish with scents of raisins and almonds. 7.95 glass / 32 bottle / 23 to go If you can'tmake it in on Tuesday, we will have wine specials most other evenings as well -and of course we would love to serve you as our guest any Monday throughSaturday night.

In her artist’s statement she tells us that“The other is the struggle to depict the ineffable, to express what is inexpressible, except as art. I have my chosen sources: dreams, especially the omnipresence of water, great religious paintings of the Italian renaissance and Baroque period, the fluid nature of drapery, and a desire to explain myself to myself…..I bring all of these things to creating my pieces, but they exist separate from me or my intentions.”

LECTURE SERIESOlmsted in the Pacific Northwest: Parks, Gardens, and Campus DesignsA presentation by Joan HockadayThursday, October 21, 20107 PM., Mid-Columbia Libraries-Kennewick (on Union)Hosted by Lower Columbia Basin Audubon Society Among the most influential landscape designers in history, the Olmsted Brothers travelled west around the turn of the 20th century to assist with the creation of parks and campuses throughout the Pacific Northwest. Each park, they advised, should reflect its natural surroundings, and be different than parks across town. Olmsted greatly admired the Pacific Northwest’s native vegetation and urged public and private clients to retain as much of the underlying shrubbery — and the treescape — as possible. Today, we see the value of preserving native plants in our landscape, but are we a century too late? Or was Olmsted a century too soon?

Arts & Craft Holiday show @ City Church on 10th Ave, just up to the right from the Shell Station on Union. Fri. Nov 5th 5-9pm & Sat 9am-4PM. Time to start your early Christmas shopping.
Gillian is a sultry witch interested in her neighbor, Shep. She would prefer to attract him in the usual ways, but unfortunately Shep barely notices the beautiful witch downstairs. Gillian uses her magic to weave a love spell over the unsuspecting Shep, who falls head over heels for her. Though Gill intended on having just a fling, she finds out how potent love is when she herself falls under its spell. Audiences will be spellbound by the play that inspired the TV Series Bewitched!
The romantic comedy concerns Gillian Holroy, a young sultry witch who is interested in pursuing a romantic fling (as witches can’t fall in love) with her upstairs neighbor Shep Henderson. Unfortunately, Shep is engaged and barely notices the beautiful witch downstairs. Gillian uses her magic to weave a love spell over the unsuspecting Shep and with the help of her self-concerned warlock brother, Nicky, her flighty aunt, Miss Holroyd, and to the detriment of Mr. Sidney Redlitch (who is writing an expose on NY witches), carries out an elaborate affair. But despite lore, Gillian realizes she HAS fallen in love just about the same time Shep realizes he’s been bewitched—conjuring up potential disaster for the Holroy family and a joyful romantic comedy for audiences! The play is directed by Tom Powers, assistant directed by Mark Humann, produced by DeeAnn Till and assistant produced by Christina Humann.

“Life After War: Soldiers’ Stories” is an exhibit of photos and words by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, coordinated by photographer Jim Lommasson of Portland, Ore. The collage of 2,000 photos tell stories of war and home from a soldier’s perspective — the same camera that captures the smiles of loved ones also contains images of the depravity of war.The event opens at 3 p.m. with a veterans resource fair. The ceremony starts at 4 p.m. and features comments by Lommasson. The photo exhibit is open through Nov. 22 during building hours, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday (note: campus is closed Nov. 11).
Admission is free. The illicit use of explosives has become a daily event in the modern world. For terrorist organizations and insurgents, the Improvised Explosive Device has become a weapon of choice. These devices are being used to kill or harm civilians and military personnel as well as destroy vital infrastructure and assets. Because they can take different forms and be delivered to their targets in a variety of ways, these devices are proving difficult to defeat. Advances in technology for the detection of explosives, explosive devices or components of such devices can improve our ability to counter their use and the resulting impacts. Researcher Dr. Dave Atkinson and his multi-disciplinary team are focused on "use-inspired" research, driving science-to-application development. By performing research with an eye on a user's needs and requirements, and by using teams with experience that spans the technology maturation process, Dr. Atkinson’s team reduces the technical risks and is able to provide fieldable solutions from lab discoveries.Dr. Atkinson holds a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Washington State University, where he designed advanced chemical detection systems. He has worked in trace chemical detector development and deployment at National Laboratories over the last 16 years, with a specific emphasis on explosives detection. Dr. Atkinson has conducted work for the Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration on applying detection instrumentation to aviation security and he provides technical guidance on explosive detection instrumentation. This lecture is part of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s continuing efforts, per contract with the U.S. Department of Energy, to transfer technology to the private sector.

FOOD & WINE – 2009 American Wine Awards – Winemaker of the Year. First there was K Vintners, then the Magnificent Wine Company and now winemaker Charles Smith brings you his latest revelation. Charles Smith Wines: The Modernist Project is a response to how people generally consume wine today, that is immediately…as in immediately after being purchased at a market, restaurant or bar, to be drunk straight away. Wine in this category is typically either simple, or is a wine that would be much better a few years down the road. ‘Modernist Project’ wines are about putting as much into the bottle as possible. The intent is to create wines to be enjoyed now, but with typicity with regards to variety – that is merlot that tastes like merlot – and to the vineyard – wine that tastes like where it was grown. The wines are full of flavor, balanced, and true to their place of origin. Land to hand, vineyard to bottle.The Velvet Devil Merlot – 2009 – Columbia Valley, WA90.6% Merlot, 9.4% Cabernet Sauvignon.

Marwencol Documentary, USA (2010), 83 min. Not Rated. English."Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp. After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack.Awards: Two wins, including Golden Space Needle Award (Best Documentary), SIFF '10.

UgetsuDrama, Japan (1953), 94 min. Not Rated, Japanese (subtitled).Margarita Landazuri at Turner Classic Movies wrote about Ugetsu:In the golden era of Japanese cinema (early 1950s), directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Yasujiro Ozu, and Kenji Mizoguchi, produced cinematic masterpieces, among which Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogatari (1953) stands out as one of the best. Although not as popular among the American audiences as Kurosawa, Mizoguchi is most highly regarded by critics and film scholars. "Like Bach, Titian, and Shakespeare, he is the greatest in his art," wrote French critic Jean Douchet, and New York Times critic Vincent Canby called him "one of the greatest film directors of the sound era."Based on two stories by the 18th century writer Akinari Ueda from his collection Ugetsu Monogatari (Tales of the Moon and Rain), Ugetsu is a ravishingly beautiful meditation on war, greed, and sexual desire, and a seamless blend of fantasy and realism. Set during a civil war in 16th century Japan, it's the story of two peasants who leave their wives behind as they seek fortune and glory - the potter Genjuro hopes to make money selling his wares, and Tobei wants to become a samurai. Genjuro is seduced into forgetting his wife and child by a mysterious noblewoman, Lady Wakasa, who is not what she seems. Tobei achieves his goal of becoming a warrior through deceit. And both men's wives pay the price for their husbands' ambition.Awards: Winner, Silver Lion, 1953 Venice Film Festival; Nominations: Golden Lion, 1953 Venice Film Festival; Academy Award (Best Costume Design).

Hosted by Franklin County Historical Society/ Soroptimist International of Pasco-KennewickPhoebe Goodell Judson, the 2009 Legacy Award Winner for the YWCA’s NW Women’s Hall of Fame, is the subject of Michaelson’s research and programs since 2004. “Aunt Phoebe,” as she was affectionately known in her lifetime, co-founded the town of Lynden, Washington, with her husband Holden Allen Judson in 1870. She lived there until her death in 1926 at age 94, less than two months after self-publishing her memoir, A Pioneer’s Search for an Ideal Home. Michaelson’s innovative research into the life of Judson has revealed many surprising facts about this remarkable woman. Assumptions which have been made are now proven to be inaccurate, based upon newly discovered primary source documents. Michaelson is not content to accept the version which appears on the page and her dogged determination to discover “the story behind the story” has helped to solve many mysteries which have puzzled previous researchers and scholars.Says Mary, “If you just read Phoebe Judson’s book without my program, you will close the covers and say to yourself, ‘What a great book! She was a remarkable woman who led such an interesting life!’ But if you experience any of my programs, you will realize that her true life was ten times more interesting than the life she describes in her book!” A lively, interactive question and answer session, attractive handouts, and hands-on displays are always a part of these most interesting and informative programs.
Robert W. Richardson lives with a song in his lips and music in his heart. When he died, at 77 on Sept. 2, 1990, his love of music continued living.

This Recital is the final phase of a three step process designed to select the top three candidates to receive the Robert Richardson Scholarship.

Spanish vineyards have a low yield (because of the dry climate). Spain has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 600 varieties planted. The main red grape varieties in Spain are Tempranillo, Bobal, Garnacha & Monastrell. Grapes are the third biggest crop in Spain after cereals and olives. One third of Spanish wine is exported and this figure is increasing. Spain's top customers are the UK, Germany and the USA. Spain is the fifth biggest exporter of wine to the US after Italy, Australia, France and Chile.Lopez Panache 2009 Tempranillo – La Mancha, Spain100% Tempranillo. This wine boasts a beautiful red ruby color with a purple hue. Fresh and bright with nuances of dark fruits like blackberries, black currants & raspberries. Inviting aromas of spices, wild flowers & violets. Fresh in the mouth with good structure, well balanced acidity & a medium finish. Lopez Panach wines represent amazing value with bright characteristics; and the 2009 Tempranillo is certainly true to that!Casa de Illana 2006 Tradicion – Ribera del Jucar, Spain45% Bobal (traditional local varietal), 30% Tempranillo, 25% Syrah. Casa de Illana Tradición is a flavorful and traditional wine with great structure and body. It is brilliant and clean with an intense cherry-garnet coloring. In the nose it boasts ripe blackberry, cherry, violets and licorice with mineral and fine wood notes. The first impression of this wine on the palate gives creamy earthy nuances and sweet tannins from the noble oak followed by a medium to long finish.Rejadorado 2006 Tinto Roble – Toro, Spain100% Tinta de Toro (the local name for Tempranillo). Tinto Roble spent 6 months in oak. Medium/dark ruby, it offers up notes of mineral, cedar, spice box, earth and blackberry. Supple-textured, ripe, and balanced (90 points – Robert Parker).If you can’t make it in on Tuesday, we will have wine specials most other evenings as well – and of course we would love to serve you as our guest any Monday through Saturday night.

The Hedgehog (Le Hérisson)Comedy/Drama, France (2009) 98 min. Not Rated, French (subtitled).With a magical blend of gravity and levity, director Mona Achache deftly brings Muriel Barbery's widely-loved novel and its two intriguing and delightfully complicated characters to life. Lover of art and philosophy, 11-year-old Paloma (a precocious Garance Le Guillemic) is disenchanted with the hypocrisy she perceives in her immediate world and pledges to end her life before she herself falls victim to it-and by the date of her next birthday. With 165 days to go she commits to documenting her environment with her father's High-8 camera. Through this unique lens, and with Paloma's caustic, and often hilarious commentary as the soundtrack, we enter the cosmos of her upper-crust Parisian apartment building and, as third-party sleuths, glimpse the interior lives of the characters who inhabit it-in particular, grumpy, frumpy concierge, Renée Michel (the marvelous comedienne, Josiane Balasko). When Paloma's camera reveals an extensive secret library in Renée's back room, and that the usually gruff matron reads Tolstoy to her cat, Paloma begins to understand that there are allies to be found beneath the prickliest of exteriors. And, when she notices that the new tenant, elegant widower Kakuro (Togo Igawa, Memoirs of a Geisha), is paying courtly attention to Reneé, Paloma sees a new mission ahead of her. As the unlikely friendship between this disparate trio deepens, Paloma's own coming of age becomes a much less pessimistic prospect.Awards: 6 wins and 1 nomination, including Golden Space Needle Award for best film (Seattle International Film Festival); and Best Director and FIPRESCI prize (Cairo International Film Festival).

Toro Y Moi is 23 year old Columbia, South Carolina native and resident Chaz Bundick. After earning a BFA in Graphic Design at The University of South Carolina, Chaz decided to push his music further now that he has more time on his hands. His mom came from the Phillipines to the United States, where she met her future husband (who’s African American) in college. They lived in New York City taking in all the wonderful cultural influences the city’s rising underground scene had to offer at the time (late 70s/early 80s). Deciding to slow down and be closer to family, they moved to Columbia, South Carolina where they had their first child…Bundick’s methods are constantly changing and evolving. Heavily influenced by his parent’s vinyl and tape collection, he also possesses great admiration for contemporary influences like Animal Collective, Sonic Youth, J Dilla, and Daft Punk. Like most prepubescent teens, he had his punk band and once that died out, the “side project” soon became the main focus.Toro y Moi started in 2001 as a bedroom project but quickly grew into the live performance realm. The songs are born from a plethora of different genres, from freak-folk to R&B to French House. This is the sound the world has been waiting for. This multi-cultural juggernaut gathers up the best musical elements from around the globe— R&B, Indie Rock, Electronic Dance and Psychedelica —and creates something-freaking-else! Over the course of his first groundbreaking full length “Causers Of This”, Toro Y Moi turns the aforementioned musics upside-down with his breathtakingly innovative approach. The incendiary power of Toro Y Moi’s funky synth and guitar play, pumping digital rhythms and gorgeously bright vocal harmonies makes for a formidable combination. A soon to be masterpiece of a currently unnamed genre.

The Tri-Cities has a true "Master" of guitar in Doug Rice and he will be this month's 3RFS Coffeehouse performer. Doug's eclectic performance style is due, in part, to being steeped in so many musical styles from an early age. His dad gave him a 4-string tenor guitar to play at the age of five and he's been hooked ever since. While in high school, Doug joined the Wayne McGuffin big band and studied guitar with local guitar icon, John LaChappelle. John and Wayne were big influences for Doug in the a rea of jazz. Ahighlight of Doug's college career was studying classical guitar with James Reid, from theUniversity of Idaho. It was his years with James and his love of jazz that really influenced his interest in fingerstyle guitar. Classical guitar study is great for sharpening technique across many other styles. Doug graduated from Washington State University with degrees in music and education and taught instrumental music at Richland High School for 10 years before working at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Making this career change opened up new opportunities for him in music and gave him more time to pursue musical interests (composing, recording, performing, and teaching). Doug currently performs around the Tri-City area as a soloist and as a member of several performing groups, including the Columbia Basin Jazz Orchestra, the Hotheads of Gypsy Jazz, and Eaglewing. He also playswith church worship teams, with the Calypsonian Bandits (an AfroCuban/calypso quartet), Times 2 (a top-40/oldies band), and other jazz combos. The Coffeehouse will begin with an open mic session-- come early to sign up. The Coffeehouse is held at All Saints' Episcopal Church located at 1322 Kimball Ave., Richland (drive around to the lower parking lot in the back). Suggested donation at the dooris $8 general/$6 senior and students. For more information, call Alan Page at 943-5662.
Resisting Enemy Interrogation Training, USA (1944) 70 min. Not Rated, English & German (subtitled where necessary)The five man crew of an American bomber shot down over Italy arrives at a German interrogation station named Dulag Luft. Although reminded to provide only their name, rank and serial number, the new POWs quickly fall prey to the cunning tricks and non-violent interrogation techniques of their Nazi captors and beginning providing seemingly harmless information, which is quickly and cleverly pieced together to become valuable military intelligence. The Germans are excellent at identifying the weakness of each prisoner and selecting the interrogation techniques most suitable for that particular prisoner, like buddying up to the friendly, further scaring those already scared, and prodding the braggarts into boasting about American capabilities and intended actions.

The Battle of San PietroDocumentary, USA (1945) 33 min. Not Rated. English.Made for the Army as a propaganda film, John Huston's The Battle of San Pietro remains the best war documentary ever made, despite changes made to remove some material thought too disturbing for civilian viewers. The picture details the taking of an Italian hill town from tenacious and well-entrenched German defenders, a battle that cost American units more than a thousand casualties.While the inconclusiveness of the struggle implicitly indicts a flawed American strategy (despite the director's flag-waving voice-over), Huston's main purpose was to portray the experience of war seen from the viewpoint of those who fight it and have no concern about larger calculations of loss or gain. Huston's crew captures the horror and confusion of combat: the wounding of American soldiers: the pain and suffering of civilians; the boredom and campaigning for troops far from home; the inevitable cost of "victory," measured in the huge number of body bags loaded onto trucks; and the rows and rows of temporary graves dug to accommodate them.The film was eventually released to the American public only after final victory in Europe, too late to play any role in influencing opinion about the war. The Battle of San Pietro is Huston's tribute to the brave men he lived among, as well as a poignant, graphic treatment of battle and its consequences, with some stock footage and staged scenes not detracting from the overall effect of authenticity and objectivity. - R. Barton Palmer, 1001 Movies to See Before You Die, pg 207

This exhibition features the work of two artist, Becki Smith of Odessa TX, and Kathelene Galloway from Eastern Oregon University. Ms. Galloway is represented with “The Belted Galloway’s Suite, 2008,” a mixed media paper installation of layered, collaged prints. These pieces are combinations of solar plate photogravure with shellac, serigraphy, and graphite and derive their content from a treasure trove of material saved by Ms Galloway’s mother. The ephemera includes old documents, passports, birth, death and adaption certificates, family photographs, letters and the golden rod colored envelopes that her mother’s VA and Social Security checks arrived in after the death of her husband. The result is a touching combination of personal family nostalgia and universal pathos.Ms. Smith will be exhibiting small wooden boxes that contain assemblages of recycled images and found materials including old doll parts, miniature furniture, plastic figurines, sticks and bird nests. With these objects she creates miniature worlds that comment on stereotypes, relationships, politics and sexuality. Her work pulls you in and makes you pause to absorb and reflect on the many layers of meaning contained within these small containers.Gallery Hours: M – Th, 8AM – 8:30 PMFr – 8AM – 4:30 PMAdmission is free and the public is welcome.For more information call (509)542-4864, Mary Dryburgh Gallery Coordinator.These events are brought to you by the CBC Arts & Humanities Division as part of its continuing community enrichment program.

The Pasco Invitational Track Meet Committee has been working on the 50th Annual Pasco Invite which is scheduled for April 16th. The Pasco Invitational staff has put in an incredible amount of time this fall to put on the State Cross Country Meet for the 23rd time. We were proud of our effort but that endeavor did detract from the planning for the Pasco Invitational. We are now up and rolling with information about the Invite. We are planning for events to celebrate the "Golden Anniversary" Included will be the dedication of a wallboard with the best marks for the track at Edgar Brown Stadium. We are also going to have seven golden events-Golden Mile(An elite field of 16 running the mile), Golden 100(Finals for this event running 100 yds), Golden 110 Highs, Golden Relay(4x400 with gold batons) and three field events(Long Jump, Pole Vault and Javelin) that will be designated as "Golden Events". Golden events will have extra scoring and recognition. The Golden Mile(both boys and girls) will be run in connection with the opening ceremonies.Let me assure you that we are still going to put on the best possible track meet. Plans at this time include a similar basic format and schedule as in the past, which includes plaques for the first, second and third, medals for the next three places and ribbons for seventh and eigthth. We are planning to score 8 people for each event and to take 10 into the finals for the field events and those events where we run preliminaries. The "golden events" will have extra bonus team points and special plagues. We will continue to run the 800 like the 1600 and 3200(Alley starts with 16) and having only one pit in the pole vault in the infield(Boys PV starts at 9:30 followed by the Girls PV). We will be running a regular 1600 for those runners not in the "Golden Mile". More information about the "golden events" will follow in Jan when we confirm the list of teams for the Invite.

Join us on Tuesday night for our bi-weekly wine specials night. I will be hosting at Monterosso’s Italian Restaurant in order to serve wine specials for you to taste. I will be happy to pour you a sip of these wines as you arrive for dinner. When you find a new wine that you love, enjoy a glass or bottle with dinner and feel free to buy a bottle at lower retail “to go” prices to take home as well. What a great way to shop for wine! Musella – Veneto, Italy. On the hills of San Martino Buon Albergo, is Tenuta Musella, one of the most beautiful and self-contained estates of the Veneto region. Rich in forests, waters, specialized crops, ancient courts and little churches, farming estates and houses, with the splendid aristocratic Villa, dating from the seventeenth century, at the centre of its secular park. Wine Advocate wrote a piece about the Musella wines – “It’s not too often I run across an estate in Veneto that delivers this level of quality at what are exceedingly fair prices in today’s market. Readers will want to give these offerings serious consideration.” Don’t miss your chance to taste a Valpolicella, a Ripasso (the Poor Man’s Amarone) and one of the Italian grand classic wines – Amarone! 2008 Musella Valpolicella Superiore Vigne Nuove 50% Corvina, 25% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 5% Barbera. Wet forest floor on the nose – earthy, mossy and musty. On the palate, good blackberry flavors and a touch of leather, together with ash, stone and some ripe tannins. Balanced with a nice finish. 2005 Musella Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 70% Corvina & Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Barbera. An incredibly harmonious wine. Reveals a pretty core of ripe, dark fruit, leather, spices and licorice. A dash of French oak and the secondary fermentation on the Amarone lees (also known as the ripasso method), gives this wine an attractive fleshiness and inner sweetness. A wonderful “Poor Man’s Amarone”. 2006 Musella Amarone della Valpolicella 70% Corvina & Corvinone, 20% Rondinella, 10% Oseleta. Dark garnet color in the glass. An interesting nose of charcoal, smoke, raisins, black licorice & blackberries. Full-bodied and chewy, with lots of blackberries, licorice, plums and a long finish. An excellent Amarone! If you can’t make it in on Tuesday, we will have wine specials most other evenings as well – and of course we would love to serve you as our guest any Monday through Saturday night.

Climbing Gold Mountain, Gum Sahn: Chinese Pioneers in the Western FrontierHosted by the Friends of the Richland Public Library Many Americans, including those of Chinese heritage, are unfamiliar with the tremendous role Chinese pioneers played in settling the Western frontier. Chinese pioneers were railroad workers, loggers, miners, and even cowboys in the West’s rural communities. Despite frequent hostility and adversity, Chinese pioneers persevered and thrived. Their success is strikingly relevant today, in an era whe
