INSIDE STORY

Good day, Sunshine

By Holly Thorpe

FOOD........................... 6-9

Lake Chelan This Week

MUSIC CONCERT.......... 10

Just off of Highway 97-A, as you drive into Chelan and the road curves toward the lake, lies a small market on the right.

Ivy crawls up the posts out front, flower baskets speckle the entryway, and a sign off to the side reads “Feed the Goats.”

Welcome to Sunshine Farm Market.

“When we first started [in 1991] it was very different, we just had a couple of apple bins and a tent,” said manager Rachel Evans.

Now, a full store stands in its place. The market is made of reclaimed apple orchard props, as are the matching outhouse and icebox. What’s inside, however, is some of Chelan Valley’s best produce. The orchard produces some of its own cherries and apples, but a rainbow of other fruits and vegetables line shelves.

“We buy from a variety of local orchardists and farmers,” Evans said.

“Whatever’s fresh and in season. We try to get premium product in and focus on quality.”

The diverse wine selection at the market comes from almost entirely from Manson and Chelan area, and Evans expects to add even more soon. She said that the market has chosen to specialize in hard cider because of its current

popularity in the Chelan area. The Evans family also owns the Tunnel Hill Winery, which shares a driveway with the market.

In September and October, the Sunshine Farm Market hosts U-Press Cider weekends from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Stop by and press your own cider on their old-fashioned hand-crank press using apples you can

purchase at the market.

Visitors can shop for natural bath and body items, gifts for family and friends, and a variety of all-natural and specialty foods including local hummus, coffee, salsa, and mustards from around Eastern Washington. There’s free wifi, coffee, and a picnic area, too.

INSIDE STORY

Market, like many other businesses in the area, is seasonal. Currently, the market is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day of the week, but the hours vary during other seasons.

Between samples of ripe local cherries, and the baby goats housed nearby to be petted and named

by community members in the annual naming contest, Sunshine Farm Market is less of a shopping trip and more of a field trip.

“I think our customers appreciate that atmosphere, sort of farmer-chic” Evans said.

“We try to really make it a good experience.”

‘Top of their class’ musicians to perform a free concert

By Kelli Scott

Lake Chelan This Week A free, classical concert in the heart of Chelan?

No, we’re not talking about Bach Fest.

At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 14, awardwinning young talents will perform a recital at Lake Chelan Lutheran Church. The group is called Trio Brillante, and brilliant they are.

Pianist Vijay Venkatesh, clarinetist Micah Wright and cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins together won the prestigious Frances Walton Competition, sponsored by the Ladies Musical Club of Seattle. The concert here Wednesday is hosted by the folks behind the Lake Chelan Bach Fest.

Every spring, the Ladies Musical Club holds a competition for emerging classical musicians (ages 20 to 35) in six Western states: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Montana and Alaska. Finalists participate in an intense, day-long competition in Seattle. Four soloists and one ensemble are chosen as the winners and take home cash prizes.

And then, in September, the winners hit the road, performing all over Washington state.

Trio Brillante, winners of the Frances Walton Competition.

“We are very fortunate to get them to stop in Chelan for the day,” said Bach Fest board member Carl Komor.

Komor should know. It was he and his wife who happened to meet a member of the Ladies Musical Club up at Holden Village and strike up a conversation about five years ago. The woman told the Komors that the

club used to send its competition winners to perform in Wenatchee every year, but that show had been canceled, leaving their winning performers a free night in Eastern Washington.

“So I reeled them into Chelan,” Komor said.

The trio will spend the day Wednesday in Chelan schools, talking to students about their instruments, their musical paths, and performing in classrooms.

Then comes the free show at the church. It is open to the community and is always an intimate, elegant evening of classical favorites. This year’s concert will include Beethoven’s Clarinet Trio in Bb Major, Op. 11, Robert Muczynski’s Fantasy Trio and Brahms’ Clarinet Trio in A Minor, Op. 114.

A reception will follow the recital.

“One of the responsibilities that Bach Fest takes on is bringing classical music to Chelan,” Komor said.

“This concert is an opportunity to see musicians perform and then get a chance to talk to them in person. And (these musicians) are at the top of their class.”

Lake Chelan Lutheran Church is located at 216 West Nixon Ave. in Chelan. For more information, call 687-6002.

New dock at Prince Creek opens A new dock has opened on Lake Chelan at Prince Creek, replacing the old one that had been use about 30 years. Boats and Lake Chelan Boat Company ferries can use the dock.

“The biggest benefit will be the ability to make ferry landings at the new dock from October 16 through April 30. This will significantly expand access to the Lakeshore Trail during prime backpacking seasons in the spring and fall,” said Paul Willard, Recreation Staff Officer at the Chelan Ranger District.

Funds used to build the new Prince Creek Dock were made possible through grants from the Public Lands Highways Discretionary Program and the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in Park program and through the Chelan County PUD via the Lake Chelan Settlement Agreement.

A DC-10 air tanker drops retardant over Chelan as a wildfire moves through the area in 2015.

‘Megafires’ presentation comes to Chelan trees,” Hessburg said. “The forests became more susceptible to diseases and insects and they became sicker.”

Total fire suppression also became a policy as people continued to build homes and other structures in areas that had traditionally burned on a regular basis.

“And we continue to build, at an alarming rate,” Hessburg said. “It’s time to decide where to build, what to build with and to create defensive neighborhood planning.

Once fires are roaring, it’s already too late.”

Hessburg said climate change is also “having a huge effect” on megafires. He noted that 1.5 million acres of forest burned in Alberta, Canada, in May of this year.

“What we need is a cultural shift from being reactive to being proactive,” he said.

He encouraged people to talk to their elected representatives about the need for more

prescribed burning.

“Firefighters use those burned areas as containers to steer fires into and they create barriers,” he said.

The public has objected to prescribed burns because they produce smoke and haze but, Hessburg said, smoke from prescribed burns is not nearly as thick as what comes from a wildfire.

Hessburg also said the availability of small mills, which can work with small trees, would help homeowners who want to thin their land.

“Now, it really is up to us, and there is a lot we can do and a lot needs to be done,” he said. “We can apply Firewise concepts, support local prescribed burn efforts and create fire adaptive communities.”

action pace. We get inside Nick’s head as he struggles with bullying, his parents’ divorce, his first love, disappointments, and the love/ hate relationships he has with his teachers. We root for Nick as he tumbles along, and through it all we cannot help but appreciate Alexander’s mastery and the power of his words.”

— Arna Lewis, Buttonwood Books & Toys, Cohasset, MA

Booked

By Kwame Alexander “Newbery Medal-winning author Alexander wows readers again with another story told in verse. Booked is the story of Nick Hall, who wants to do his own thing on his own time — mainly play soccer with his best friend, Coby. With carefully chosen words, Alexander immediately engages readers with his quick-

assignment they say her father has been on since returning from Iraq may not really be why he isn’t coming home for her birthday. Macy’s summer of hard truths — baffling, funny, and tough as it is — is full of amazing discoveries and a loving, endearing cast of characters.” —Ellen Lamb, The Toadstool Bookshop, Keene, NH

Eleven and Holding

By Mary Penney “This summer Macy is going to turn 12 and too many things are not what they seem: Ginger, whose gray braids hang down from her motorcycle helmet, offers a reward to find a dog that may not be missing; that annoying boy with the skateboard and sideways smile might not be that bad; and the special

The Gallery

By Laura Marx Fitzgerald “The Sewell mansion, the height of elegance in 1928 New York City, conceals many mysteries.

Rose Sewell, locked in her rooms upstairs, is consumed by art and said to be crazy. Twelve-yearold Martha, outspoken with the nuns one time too many and expelled from school, now works for the Sewells as a chambermaid.

Who locks his wife up and pretends everything is normal?

Overwhelmed with curiosity about Rose and Mr. Sewell, who is the model of success in the newspaper world, Martha pops the bubble of secrecy and cleverly exposes the truths of the wealthy and powerful.”

— Jane Morck, Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park, WA

Lily and Dunkin

By Donna Gephart “Lily Jo McGrother is about to start eighth grade, and she’s determined that this will be the year she truly becomes Lily instead of Timothy. The year seems to start off on a positive note when Lily meets Dunkin, but Dunkin has his own issues and it appears he would rather get in with the popular crowd than swap secrets with a boy at the bottom

of the middle school food chain.

This book takes the usual middle school themes and puts gender identity and bipolar disorder in the mix with two special characters who want nothing more than to be accepted for who they are.”

— Melissa Oates, Fiction Addiction, Greenville, SC

The Secret of Dreadwillow Carse

By Brian Farrey “A creepy forest and two courageous girls — one a princess and the other a peasant — are the heart of The Secret of Dreadwillow Carse. Farrey has written a beguiling fantasy with plenty of suspense to keep middle grade readers turning the pages. Good characters, a perplexing mystery, and a satisfying ending with several possibilities for sequels all work together to make this a not-tobe-missed read.”

— Ellen Richmond, Children’s Book Cellar, Waterville, ME

This Is Not a Werewolf Story

By Sandra Evans

“Raul doesn’t talk much. He spends his days at the One of Our Kind boarding school looking after the younger kids and keeping his secrets to himself — because he does have secrets, and so does the woods surrounding the school.

Blending aspects from a variety of mythologies, Evans has created a wonderful coming-ofage story about a young boy discovering himself and his family. Highly recommended!”
