For Lake Chelan This Week

Keep your eyes peeled for the children’s book hero in a striped shirt and black-rimmed eyeglasses, because Waldo has made his stop in the Lake Chelan Valley.

And don’t worry if you see him more than once – the six-inch figure is making his rounds at several local businesses.

For the fourth year, Waldo will return to Chelan to promote summer fun and the Shop Local movement.

During the month of July, he will be stationed in 25 different local businesses just waiting to be found.

“Now I have people who come through and ask if Waldo is happening, and these are both visitors and locals,” Riverwalk Books owner Libby Manthey said. “People really enjoy doing it.”

The Shop Local movement is a national campaign that promotes supporting and reinvesting in a community.

“There is no cost,” Manthey said. “Just spending time in the great heat.”

“It is designed to have people go to places (businesses) where they wouldn’t normally go and see what they are about,” Manthey said.

In past years, nearly 500 passports have returned to Riverwalk Books, Manthey said.

Each time Waldo is found, those who are participating need to get their Waldo passport signed or stamped by a business employee. The first 125 to get their passports checked by 10 or more businesses will win prizes, including buttons, coupons and more.

Riverwalk Books likes participating “for some hide and seek fun as well as to encourage communities to patronize their local businesses.”

Originally from Orange County, California, Jillian Foster and former Missourian, Jeremy Gleeson moved to Chelan to start their business. Why choose Chelan?

Jeremy says, “The views are outstanding, the locals are welcoming and the opportunity to run a business in a town with so much potential has truly been a win-win-win.” Just up from the downtown corridor on upper Woodin Avenue, Deep Water Inn & Gunther’s opened fully revamped and refreshed in January of 2014. Managing both an inn and a restaurant is definitely quite the task, but both feel that there is, “…tremendous encouragement and support from the community. As an inn, of course, we could never survive without the tourism but we never would have survived as new business owners without the locals, from other hotel owners stopping by with advice to the fantastic word of mouth given to Gunther’s…and I don’t think it’s any surprise to say that Gunther’s has become well known for its fish and chips...As for our inn guests; they have come to know us for our service as well as good old fashioned cleanliness. We clean our rooms from top to bottom and take pride in a job well done.” Jeremy and Jillian both agree that customer service is number one but that doesn’t just mean being polite to guests, it’s delivering an order out to a customer’s car or making a real connection and having a genuine conversation so their hotel guests depart feeling like houseguests. “This is our home and we hope to convey that at-home feeling to the people who stay with us.” So whether you are looking for a place to stay yourself or are hosting friends in Chelan, call Jeremy and Jillian and they’ll be happy to make your reservations! You might even get a sample of their famous bacon-wrapped Deep Water Dog!

Waldo

From page 2 •

From Spirals at 215 E. Woodin St. to Culinary Apple at 109 E. Woodin St.

Businesses get to choose where they put Waldo, and often times move him throughout the month. He’s only six inches tall, so keep your eyes peeled.

“We have had places where the store clerk have Waldo strapped to their chest, and the children don’t notice it because it is in such an unexpected place,” Manthey said.

Culinary Apple co-owner David Weldy said his store hides the figurine close to the cash register, so that sales clerks can give hints to children looking for Waldo.

This month, 250 booksellers in America are celebrating the Shop Local movement with Waldo, who recently celebrated his 25th birthday, according to a Candlewick Press news release. It said store traffic and book sales increased “exponentially” during the Find Waldo Local event in recent years.

The campaign aims to increase store traffic, strengthen the bond between businesses and encourage community members to spread the message of

buying local, the news release said.

And at Culinary Apple, it does just that. While Weldy can’t measure if business increases with the July event, he does know one thing.

JULY 4&5

“I do believe that we get new families that come in because of that activity,” Weldy said. “It’s a family activity for folks that visit the valley, and that’s a key important thing because we’re a family type store. This brings people downtown, and when they come in to our store, they experience what we’re all about.”

Waldo was created by Martin Handford in the late 1980s. He created colorful drawings hiding Waldo, the fictional character, throughout the books. Readers have to find Waldo hidden in the different landscapes. More than 63 million Waldo books exist.

Even if you’re just visiting Chelan for the weekend, don’t miss out on what’s become a staple for the Chelan Valley.

“I enjoy the children coming in and the families,” Manthey said. “Frankly, it has become a part of what people do in Chelan during July.”

Map of the Where’s Waldo route. The route goes from Lake Chelan Sports, at 132 E. Woodin St. to the Lake Chelan Museum, at the corner of Woodin and Emerson; and From Spirals at 215 E. Woodin St. to Culinary Apple at 109 E. Woodin St.

Lake Chelan wineries build on success

By Eric Degerman and Andy Perdue For Great Northwest Wine The history of wine grapes along the banks of Washington’s Lake Chelan goes back to the 1880s, but that all but disappeared until the late 1990s, when a soft apple market had orchardists thinking about a new direction.

And thus the region’s wine industry was reborn.

Today, Lake Chelan still is not a huge wine region, but it is growing — and most importantly, it is changing the economics of the community it surrounds.

About 20 wineries now dot the north and south shores of Lake Chelan, with all of them being within a few minutes drive of the communities of Chelan and Manson. Nearly 300 acres of wine grapes are in the ground, as winemakers are beginning to figure out what varieties work best in this American Viticultural Area, established in 2009.

Though it is a young wine region, Lake Chelan already has found a tremendous amount of success, thanks to the fact it is based in a town that knows how to treat tourists. The infrastructure already is in place with lodging and food, and Washington residents are used to coming to this area of the state. The wine industry even has helped stretch the tourism season from 10 weeks to more than six months.

Here are a few examples of wines we’ve tasted from Lake Chelan wineries. Ask for them at your favorite wine merchant or contact the wineries directly.

Nefarious Cellars 2012 Defiance Vineyard Malbec, Lake Chelan, $35: Owners Dean and Heather Neff have crafted a superb red with tones of cocoa powder

and maple syrup. Its hallmark is the theme of ripe Marionberry and black cherry, and while there’s black licorice concentration on the midpalate, its lithe tannin structure allows for the delicious lingering of blueberry acidity to become the focus. (14.6 percent alc.)

Wapato Point Cellars 2010 Reserve Syrah, Lake Chelan, $38: This Syrah saw 30 months in French and Hungarian barrels, resulting in aromas of brown sugar, heavy toast and horehound, followed by a big entry of cherry, chocolate, blackstrap molasses and light tobacco. It’s capped by mild tannins and stuffed dates. (13.6 percent alc.)

Chelan Ridge Winery 2009 Cabernet Franc, Lake Chelan, $34: Lynn Munneke uses fruit from her family’s 13-acre sustainably farmed vineyard along the north shore of Lake Chelan in Manson. This Cab Franc is filled with black cherry, red currant and blackberry aromas among crumbled graham cracker and milk chocolate. There’s a bit of crushed herbs on the palate among the ripe cherry and plum flavors, surrounded by elegant tannins and capped with sweet spices. (14.8 percent alc.)

Tsillan Cellars 2013 Estate Sempre Amore, Lake Chelan, $16: Shane Collins went directly from Walla Walla Community College’s famed enology program to Tsillan Cellars in 2007, and he works magic with this blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Viognier and Gewürztraminer. It opens with hints of alyssum and dusty rose petal, followed by Juicy Fruit gum, Golden Delicious apple and freshly laundered linen.

Rich flavors focus on ripe orchard fruit and dried pineapple, and while there’s a touch of sweetness, it’s nicely balanced. (13 percent alc.)

Tunnel Hill Winery 2012 Syrah, Lake Chelan, $30: Winemaker and documentary filmmaker Guy Evans continues to find success in transforming the family apple business to wine. This gorgeous Syrah from the south shore of Lake Chelan is beautifully balanced all the way through with nuances of spice, blackberry and dark chocolate. (15.1 percent alc.)

Karma Vineyards 2010 Pink Bubbly, Lake Chelan, $40: Cornell grad Craig Mitrakul crafted this sparkling Syrah. Aged on the lees for 14 months, it begins with delicate aromas of strawberry and dried cherry with notes of toast and yeastiness. The mousse is frothy, making it fun to access flavors that hint at raspberry, pie cherry and early season strawberry. The bright midpalate acidity and bit of tannin contribute to the mouthwatering finish of Rainier cherry. (12.7 percent alc.)

Lake Chelan This Week

Twisted Fine Yarn and Wool

Boutique of the Week~

By Emily Cieslak For Lake Chelan This Week

While you may have left scarves and beanies off your packing list for your Chelan getaway, that doesn’t mean you can’t leave the lake town with a few spools of thread. Relocated only two months ago, Twisted Fine Yarn and Wool is your new shop on the Ave. for all things knitting and crochet. Never touched a needle? Just see the vivid assortment of yarn and try to resist not picking up a new hobby.

“There are a lot of people who knit. Crochet is making a comeback,” Owner Sandi Sandum said.

Not only is the assortment bright but it is also wide.

Nearly 100 types of yarn are held in the cozy space at 210 E Woodin Ave. and come from both local and worldwide artists. Brands like Cascade Yarn and Knit One Crochet Too carry a wide range of fibers from cotton to alpaca to bamboo. Juniper Moon supplies fine wool from their sheep and goat yarns in Virginia, and Swans Island provide yarns hand-dyed in Maine.

The shop also carries needles, notions, yarn bowls, bags, books, magazines and patterns. The prices of products range from $5 to $62, Sandum said.

After working at the Chelan Quilt Store for 10 years, she was excited for the creative opportunity of owning her own shop.

“I like being around creative people, and I always wanted to own a shop like this,” Sandum said. “This opportunity just fell in my lap.”

Her latest mission is to get more young people hooked on knitting. While she tries to find the best way to get them involved, Sandum already engages customers by providing private classes by appointment and Thursday social knit, a time where people can come in and knit with others.

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Thursday has extended hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays are closed and are the perfect day to catch up on your knitting!

Young Adult

Kid Moses: A Novel

By Mark Thornton

Everything, Everything

By Nicola Yoon

The story of 9 year-old Moses wandering alone in Tanzania feels all at once as modern as today’s news and as classic as episodic adventures told around a fire.

Poverty, death, violence…these are always lurking around the corner.

How powerful is love - can it actually make you believe something or make you take incredible risks? Madeline, who is allergic to the outside world, is about to find out the answer to this question when she falls in love for the first time and begins to see beyond the walls of her home.

All That Followed

By Gabriel Urza This novel unfolds slowly, moving backward, as it reveals its characters’ histories and their interconnectedness in the wake of a moment of violence. It offers a window into contemporary Basque culture, pressed between the Spanish state and an ethnic pride that can be manifested in violence.

Kitchens of the Great Midwest

By J. Ryan Stradal A different character and a different dish are featured in each chapter, and we are left with a beautiful image of food, culture, and family.

Young Readers Another Kind of Hurricane

By Tamara Ellis Smith Multiple viewpoints show the literal and metaphorical journey of two 10-year-old boys: Henry from Vermont who loses his best friend in a tragic accident, and Zavion from New Orleans who loses everything in Hurricane Katrina. Readers will love this character-driven story of friendship, healing, and hope.
