Tri-Cities Wood Carvers prepare for annual show
By Loretto J. Hulse Hand any one of the Tri-Cities Wood Carvers Association’s members a sharp knife, a hunk of wood and they’ll soon turn it into a thing of beauty. For proof, visit the Tri-Cities Wood Carvers Association’s 22nd annual Artistry in Wood Show Mar. 19-20 at the Tri-Tech Skills Center in Kennewick. Some members of the Wood Carvers Association meet at the Kennewick Senior Center to work on projects for the show. They’re all longtime carvers and enjoy sharing their expertise at twice weekly classes held at the Senior Center. “Everyone is welcome to attend the classes — you don’t have to be a member of the association. Though we’d welcome some new members,” said Vi Hiltwein of Kennewick. The Senior Center classes are 1-3 p.m. Wednesdays and the cost is 75 cents per person; and 9 a.m. to noon Fridays, when the cost is $1. “There’s no need to register or even have your own tools. We’ll always have some tools to lend and an extra piece of wood,” said Jerry Dilley of Kennewick. Dilley said people are always surprised how many wood carvers are women. “People think that wood carving is something only men do, but there are 17 women in our Wood Carvers Association and what they turn out is truly, truly beautiful,” said Dilley. Hiltwein’s been carving for nearly 25 years, having taken up the art at the urging of her sister, Ellen Berg, also of Kennewick. “After Ellen retired from the military, she moved here and began taking wood carving classes at a craft store that used to be in Kennewick,” said Hiltwein. uCARVERS, Page 11
Robert Dunlap of Benton City doesn’t have a formal studio to create his art. He prefers to work at a desk in his bedroom where he creates everything from paintings to posters.
Dunlap documents Benton City past with pens and paintbrushes By Dori O’Neal for Senior Times It was 1947 when Robert Dunlap and his wife loaded all their worldly possessions into the rumble seat of a 1937 Ford convertible and headed to TriCities from St. Paul, Minn. He was 24 years old. He worked as a draftsman at Hanford for many years before retiring from Rockwell in 1982 to pursue a graphic design business. Today, at age 93, Dunlap is still very much connected to his artistic nature. “I have been drawing since I was just a little kid, and eventually took up painting, too, so I guess art just came naturally to me,” Dunlap said. “I never
really had anything in particular in mind when I created something.” But then he realized how much historical significance could be captured in art. “Since I have lived in Benton City for many years, I have many paintings and drawings about the city’s history,” Dunlap said. Dunlap has shown his work at the Battelle Theater, county fairs and schools, but his first official exhibition will be this month at The Reach interpretive center at the west end of Columbia Park. The show includes his selection of paintings about the history of Benton City. uDUNLAP, Page 2
Tri-City Quilters’ presents its 33rd Annual Quilt Show and Vendor Mall By Mary Coffman The Tri-City Quilters’ Guild will have its 33rd Annual Show & Vendor Mall April 1-2 at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick. This year’s theme is ‘Quilts for All Seasons.’ The theme was chosen by show chairman Rena Christensen, an avid gardener who values the changes in the weather throughout the year and uses them as inspiration for the colors and patterns of her quilts. “The seasons also dictate when and
how much time I can spend on my sewing hobby,” said Christensen. “The garden hobby pretty much takes over in the summer.” The show will feature a special exhibit called ‘Seasons in the Home,’ depicting four cozy corners. Chairs and tables will be fitted for the four seasons to show how quilters create an environment for their art and needlework activities. This year’s featured guest artists are Dee Brown and Robin Halliday, associates at The Quilted Trillium, a shop that regularly has a booth at the show. uQUILTERS, Page 15

DUNLAP, From page 1 The show opened Feb. 26 and continues through April 30. Admission is $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and youth. Kids age 5 and younger are free. “This really is a fantastic collection of beautiful work, and the history Bob weaves into these paintings is fabulous,” said Stephanie Button, curator of programs and education at The Reach. As for Dunlap, he’s honored to have been asked to show his historical work, though he still considers himself a student at his craft. But there’s nothing amateur about his creations.

Pacific Science Center ignites the curiosity of the young and the young at heart
By Elsie Puig for Senior Times An excited audience watches in awe as a magician pulls a card from a deck. The card, it turns out, is the same one the audience had envisioned in their minds. The power of suggestion, the magician said, coupled with sleight of hand and manipulation, is the science behind magic. At the Pacific Science Center there is a science behind everything and everything is a science — even, and perhaps most especially — the seemingly unexplainable. The Pacific Science Center is a playground for the mind, debunking myths, delighting the young and the young at heart, and unlocking the mysteries of the universe. The Pacific Science Center is at the heart of the Seattle Center, within walking distance of the Space Needle and offering uninterrupted views of the Chihuly Exhibit and public art. The museum has interactive exhibits and hands-on displays, unlocking the mysteries of life sciences, physical sciences and engineering, environmental, and earth sciences, and health and wellness. Visitors can learn about the science behind sound and music, the explanations on optical illusions, interact with Puget Sound animals and learn about nanotechnology. The museum is so exhaustive in its content visitors are well advised to plan several visits to be able to take it all in. “A good rule of thumb is to reserve 40 minutes per gallery, but it depends on the visitor,” said Dave Cuomo, Science Interpretation Program Supervisor at the Pacific Science Center. The Pacific Science Center was ini-

tially the U.S. Science Pavilion at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair. Now it delivers innovative, interactive learning experiences to more than one million guests each year. “We’re members and for our kids it’s a question of really giving them some interesting science hands-on activities,” said Taylor Felt who works in Seattle for a fine art logistics company. “We really like the exhibits. They’re really well done. We really like the dinosaurs. We also like some of the interactive exhibits dealing with the principles of physics — there is just so much to do and see,” Felt said. In addition to the interactive exhibits, there are a ton of fun immersive installations, like Wild Winds, a hurricane simulator that allows you to
experience what it feels like to be in the midst of 78 mile-per-hour winds. There are exhibits dedicated to outer space and meteorology and others dedicated solely to bugs and other critters. Body Works encourages visitors to test muscle endurance, hand-eye coordination, flexibility and visual acuity in an interactive environment that teaches visitors about the mechanics of the human body.
The Pacific Science Center works with local researchers and scientists for its Portal to Current Research, a rotating exhibit that features new scientific research being done locally. Most of the research focuses on memory and the brain, but they may soon add new cutting-edge research. “In a couple of years we’ll have an exhibit in here that’ll be about astrobiology,” said Cuomo. “We’re working on an astrobiology grant, which focuses on the search for life beyond earth.” The Pacific Science Center also boasts the newly renovated Boeing IMAX Theater, which features a cutting-edge sound system, 4K laser projectors, and a 60-ft.-by-80-ft. screen. The 3D theater features documentary exploration films about wildlife, nature, outer space, and the human body, as well as feature films currently in theaters, like Deadpool. uSCIENCE, Page 15

Fire district offers injury prevention program
Benton County Fire District No. 4 has launched a new program to help reduce injuries from slips and falls. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one-third of adults 65 years old and older suffer falls each year. Those falls can lead to hip fractures, broken bones and other traumatic brain injuries. Those falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in older adults—and they are mostly preventable. Benton County Fire District No. 4 firefighters and EMTs will now visit residents’ homes upon request and perform a comprehensive evaluation of the property exterior and interior. The inspections take about an hour. Once the survey is complete, the firefighter/EMT will review a list of recommendations to reduce the risk of injuries from a fall with the homeowner.
Senior Times • March 2016
The initiative is the first step to Fire District No. 4 launching its own medical emergency prevention program called ‘FD Cares’ to reduce calls to 911 and lower health care costs.
Gem & Mineral Show planned
The Lakeside Gem & Mineral Club will have its 20th Annual Gem & Mineral Show April 16-17 at the Benton County Fairgrounds.

Right at Home opens to serve clients in southeast Washington By Jessica Hoefer for Senior Times When Adam Loomis’ grandmother neared the end of her life, his family made the difficult decision to move her into an assisted living home. “She’d lived in her home for more than 50 years,” said Loomis. “If my family would have had the resources to have her at her house, or the means or ability to have a caretaker there, they would have. Unfortunately, they couldn’t.” Loomis noticed a little bit of life in his grandmother’s eyes faded the day she had to move out of her home. “My grandma was one of the most amazing people in the world,” he said. “She wouldn’t complain, but I knew it hurt her. It was very sad. It really impacted me.” A decade later, with the memory of his grandmother still tugging at his heart, Loomis underwent a surgery that left him out of commission for more than four months. “It made me realize what it is to be in a position where you can’t take care of yourself,” he said. His wife, Shana Duncan, had to assist Loomis with his day-to-day activities, like getting dressed or making meals. Luckily, she had 20 years of experience in the healthcare industry to help make life a little easier for her husband. It got the couple thinking about their careers and how they could make life better for others in situations like Loomis or his late grandmother by providing in-home care. “We started researching significantly,” said Loomis. “We looked at several franchises—some of the national big name brands.” Loomis and Duncan took immediately to the Right at Home franchise’s business model. “This company believes in what they’re doing and they’re doing it for the right reasons. They want to help people,” said Loomis. Right at Home offers in-home companionship, personal care and assistance for seniors and disabled adults who want to continue living independently. But buying into the franchise wasn’t as easy as signing some papers. “I assumed because we were wanting to buy a franchise, they’d be like, ‘Here you go,’ and then they flipped the script and were interviewing us,” said Duncan. “They were doing research to make sure we were doing it for the right reasons. It’s a great feeling to know they’re actually checking in with people they’re working with. We wanted to align ourselves with this company because they really do care.” Right at Home has more than 500 franchise locations in the U.S. and seven other countries. There are
franchises in Seattle, but Loomis and Duncan are the first in the southeast part of Washington. Their territory covers Walla Walla to Grandview. “We’re in the process of getting our home care license for the state of Washington and going through policies and procedures right now,” said Duncan. Right at Home will provide services for as little as an hour a day to aroundthe-clock care, depending on a client’s needs. Caregivers will be vetted through a strict process that includes background checks and training. They are also bonded and insured before entering clients’ homes. The couple expects to hire about a dozen caregivers initially, both part-time and full-time positions. Fees for service are per hour dependent on the type of services being requested, said Duncan. After the initial phone call with clients, Loomis or Duncan will do in-home consultations to learn more about the clients and their needs. And to help them match the proper caregiver to the client. “If they’re looking for a companion, we’re going to look at the caregivers in our system who know how to play bridge,” said Duncan. “Or maybe they need someone who has an expertise in Alzheimer and dementia care. Through custom-care plans, we’ll carefully

match our caregivers with clients.” Medicare does not reimburse for Right at Home services, however, Medicaid will provide a waiver to cover services. “But the majority of our clients are going to be private pay, veterans or long-term care insurance or estate planning,” she said. There are other in-home care agencies in the region that provide similar services, but the couple feels that Right at Home is unique with its custom care plans that help provide that next level of care, including helping with the transition Shana Duncan, co-owner of the newly from hospitals or healthcare established Right at Home franchise in the facility to home, also known Tri-Cities, looks forward to providing as Care Transitions. in-home care for seniors and disabled Often patients are adults. readmitted because they’ve scary,” said Duncan. “We can help received new medication and they can’t keep track of what them with transportation, medication they’re taking, said Duncan, adding and meal preparation.

Richland Community Center (509) 942-7529 500 Amon Drive • Richland
Richland’s Urban Greenbelt Trail gives peek into past By Mary Coffman editor@tcjournal.biz Take a walk along Richland’s Urban Greenbelt Trail and learn about the history of the city at the same time. Richland Parks & Recreation is offering a UGT hike from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Mar. 5 and from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 15. The four-mile hike has an activity level of two, which means there is some elevation change and there could be some stairs. Portions of the walk may not be ADA accessible. The hikes, which are led by volunteers, are weather dependent, and those wishing to attend should check the website or the Richland Parks and Rec Facebook page to verify that it is still taking place. Tax time is right around the corner, but there’s no need to panic — and plenty of time to prepare. AARP Tax Aide volunteers can help. They will be available at the Richland Community Center to provide free, confidential advice to help seniors and low-income taxpayers prepare their tax returns properly and to answer questions. The volunteers will be available from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday through April 14. Appointments are not necessary. You will need to bring a copy of your prior year’s tax return, as well as documents supporting information to prepare this year’s return, including real estate tax statements. The Richland Community Center is an electronic filing site and will not prepare returns for paper filing. For quicker and safer tax refunds, it is recommended that taxpayers have refunds directly deposited into their bank accounts, so you will need to have your bank account information. Go underground and back in time with the Pasco Senior Center, which
is planning a Pendleton Underground Tour & Dinner on March 23. Pendleton was an original wild west town filled with saloons, gambling, opium dens and prostitution. During this tour, you’ll learn the history of the downtown while exploring the secret escape routes and hiding places of Pendleton’s early underground gambling rooms and brothels. The tour includes stops at the Pendleton Woolen Mills and dinner at Hamley’s Steakhouse. The cost is $69 for residents of Pasco or Richland, and the fee includes transportation, dinner and gratuity and tour costs. The tour does include six flights of stairs. The March AARP Smart Driver defensive driving course will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Mar. 15 and Wednesday, Mar. 16. The course focuses on age-related changes and teaches you how to compensate for those changes. Participants must attend both days. The cost is $15 for AARP members, who must show their AARP card, and $20 for all others. Participants may receive a discount on their insurance for completing the course. Do you need help learning how to download books, movies, magazines or music to your eReader, tablet, smart phone or Kindle. Staff at the Richland Public Library have set aside time from 2 – 4 p.m. every Thursday. Bring in our device and the staff will show you how to access the wonderful array of free digital material available to you through the library. There is no fee and no appointment is necessary. For a full list, view the Richland Parks and Recreation’s Fall Activity Guide at richlandparksandrec.com.

Senior Times • March 2016 CARVERS, From page 1 Soon they were both hooked. Berg roughed out the shapes on the band saw while Hiltwein did the finish carving. However, Berg has developed respiratory problems and can’t tolerate the wood dust anymore. “But we still share ideas and opinions on how something is turning out,” Hiltwein joked. Hiltwein said over the years she’s gone through a lot of wood, but always has an eye out for a likely piece and for project ideas. “There’s always the new, biggest thing yet to come. I like doing different things. It frustrates me to duplicate something,” she said. Barbara Pendecost of Kennewick is another longtime carver who attends the sessions at the Senior Center. She specializes in chip carving, creating designs by chiseling out small chunks of wood with a sharp knife. Pendecost began carving years ago when her daughter, Barbara, gave her a “weird knife”. The Pendecosts were living in Everett where her husband had a job. “I discovered the senior center there had carving classes, so I joined and found I really enjoyed it. I always have two or three projects going. Sometimes I just have to put one down and let it rest a bit,” Pendecost said.
Judith Dilley likened it to writer’s block. “When you come back to the first one you see things differently,” she said. She and her husband haven’t been carving as long as Hiltwein and Pendecost, but are just as accomplished in their specialty, Northwest Native American-inspired masks. Judith Dilley was an art teacher for 20 years but had not done subtractive art, where you begin with a larger piece of material and cut away parts to reveal the form you want. “Rather I worked in clay where you add more material to create your sculpture,” said Judith Dilley. Unlike some carvers who work with cured woods, the Dilleys use green woods, mainly cedar and alder. To rough shape a project the couple use an adz, a small axe. Then fine tune their carving with smaller hand tools and embellish them with paint. Hiltwein, Pendecost and the Dilleys are just four of the more than 75 wood carvers who will be exhibiting their work, demonstrating their craft and selling selected carved items during the 22nd annual Artistry in Wood show March 19-20. “The show draws carvers from Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Montana,” said Jerry Dilley, show chairman. “There will be about 200

Call it whittling or wood carving, the result is the same — a sharp knife in skilled hands can turn a chunk of wood into art. Barbara Pendecost, left, Vi Hiltwein, center, and Judith Dilley, right, all members of the Tri-Cities Wood Carvers Association, work on projects.
carvings displayed, many for sale, as will carvings knives, books and several types of wood to buy.” On Sunday, at 2:30 p.m., there will be a raffle of more than 100 items, he said. The 22nd Annual Artistry in Wood show is 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mar. 19 and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mar. 20 at the Tri-Tech Skills Center, 5929 W. Metaline Ave., Kennewick. Admission is $3 for

Senior Times • March 2016 SCIENCE, From page 3 Adjacent to the theater is an entire exhibit dedicated to the science behind 3D technology. It features displays that uncover the true application behind tricks of the mind — like leaping lizard, which urges visitors to cover one eye and the other to watch how a static lizard jumps from one side of the image to the other. One interactive display uses a technology that allows you to manipulate a mouse to look at images of the human body. One of the ‘must-see’ features at the Pacific Science Center is the Laser Dome — the largest and longest-operating domed laser theater in the world, displaying a brilliant choreography of laser effects. Another special feature is the Willard Smith Planetarium where visitors embark on an immersive journey through the solar system and learn about the NASA missions that have travelled through space. To visit the planetarium, you’ll pay an extra $3 per person. There is also a 4,000-sq.-ft. temperature-controlled tropical butterfly greenhouse. Each week 500 butterflies are imported and released from sustainable rainforest farms in South and Central America, Africa, and Asia. Volunteers are distributed throughout the museum where kids can work on hands-on activities and art projects related to the exhibits. The museum also had a maker space for children called the Tinker Tank. “They get to work on a variety of activities, today they’re talking about aerodynamics and building things to that effect,” said Cuomo. The museum also has featured exhibits that change continuously. For times, exhibit information, IMAX show listings and for help planning your visit go to www.pa cificsciencecenter.org.
QUILTERS, From page 1 Brown has a line of quilting patters, called Deezines, that contacts her designs for raw-edge applique, which don’t require tracing, as well as Halliday’s ideas for knitting, rughooking and wool applique. Both will give free lectures during the event. Laurel Sutton will be the Tri-City Quilters’ Guild featured member artist. Her display will honor those she quilts with and for, she said. “I am a groupie,” Sutton said. “I love to find friends to shop and consult with.” Quilts that belong to family and friends will be retrieved for the show, including four wedding quilts made over two years and a series of quilts inspired by cars. The walls of the event room will be lined with challenge quilts from Hoffman’s traveling exhibit, and from the guild’s contest to create a punning title and a fun-filled image of a cow or moose. More than 35 sellers will have quilting and fiber arts merchandise available in the vendor mall and there will be a silent auction. The winner of the raffle quilt, called ‘Trifecta,’ will be drawn at 4 p.m. on Saturday. The Tri-City Quilters Guild was established to disseminate informa-
