Museum–Chehalis, WA
Civil War Siege of Petersburg
n the July weekend of the 12th – 13th we will
continue our recognition of the Sesquicentennial of
the American Civil War. We will be having another
large battle and encampment not far from the Museum. These
are really exciting events as we watch the battle unfold, learn
about life in the 1860’s from the living historians and learn
about the featured battle. This year’s battle will focus on the
Siege of Petersburg. This battle began in June of 1864 and
featured a unique event where the Union forces dug a mine
underneath the Confederate trenches to break the siege. The
mine was filled with explosives and detonated on July 30th. A
military debacle ensued when the Union troops ran headlong
into the massive crater rather than going around it. For hours
Confederate troops launched a counterattack that resulted in a
“turkey shoot” as the Union troops could not climb out of the
crater.
For this year’s event we are working with the engineers to
re-create the crater event. It will be a big BOOM! You won’t
want to miss this Civil War Battle!
Vietnam Traveling Wall
To commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the beginning of the
Vietnam War, the Veterans Memorial Museum will host “The
American Veterans Traveling Tribute”, commonly referred to
as the Vietnam Traveling Wall, from July 31st to August 3rd,
2014. The Traveling Wall that will visit is the largest of the 5
around the country, 360’ long and 80% of the size of the real
Wall.
Six special programs will be held while The Wall is at the
Veterans Memorial Museum.
Thursday – Laying of the Wreaths: 6:00 PM
Friday: Opening Ceremonies, 6:00 PM, Travis Wofford speaker
Saturday: Vietnam Remembrance Day, 11:00 AM, John
Plaster speaker
Saturday: POW/MIA Remembrance Day, 4:00 PM
Sunday: Early Morning Community Church Service, 8:00
AM, Chaplain Stan Baker, speaker
Sunday: Closing Ceremonies, 2:00 PM, Ron Averill, speaker
The theme of the program is “To Heal and Honor”. Many
veterans returning from war bury emotions deep inside their
mind and heart and do not learn how to reconcile with them
until 20 to 50 years later. Unfortunately some never are able
to come to grips with these emotions. One of the major goals
of the Veterans Memorial Museum is to sponsor events such
as this to help the HEALING process begin.
All of the museum’s programs are intended to HONOR
those who serve or have served our country. The freedom our
citizens and our County currently have is a direct result of
the millions of American servicemen and women who have
served their country in peace and war! Secondly with the
Traveling Wall at the museum we will also HONOR those
who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. RH

The Museum At Warm Springs
“Feel the Spirit”
T
he award-winning Museum At
Warm Springs was created to
preserve the history and traditions of the Confederated Tribes of the
Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon.
The Museum is arranged to resemble
a traditional encampment among the
cottonwoods along Shitike Creek in the
Deschutes River Canyon. The Museum
is intended to be a place in harmony
with the natural environment.
Our newest feature is the Twanat Trail.
The Trail meanders along Shitike Creek
and features exquisite views and educational kiosks that relate the natural
history and tell about the animals, fish,
birds, and plants of the Museum’s site.
Visitors can picnic near the towering
cottonwoods and wild roses along the
Trail....and children can run and play
on our wide west field. The Museum
itself is built of natural materials that
reflect the surroundings and traditions
of the Tribes. Native stone, heavy
timber and brick are all finely detailed
to demonstrate the integration of art
into everyday life. Meaningful symbols
that are used by the Tribes, such as
the drum, dance costume bustles and
patterns from Klickitat baskets are also
integrated as art form in the building
design.
Summer weekends at The Museum
Visitors can meet Warm Springs master artists who demonstrate their arts
and crafts. This year’s summer exhibit
is “Warm Springs Beaded Tapestries”

beaded clothing, dance regalia, and
accessories such as beaded bags and
jewelry from The Museum’s Collections. August 11 is the date of The
Museum’s 17th Annual Huckleberry
Harvest dinner and auction. Funds
raised support The Museum’s mission
to preserve, advance, and share the
knowledge of the Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs. October is members’
appreciation month at The Museum. In
November The Museum hosts a Native
American heritage marketplace with
local artisans selling their authentic
jewelry, handicrafts, and weavings.
The Museum’s Gift Shop features
unique locally made, handcrafted
items and is the local distributor for
Pendleton Woolen Mills blankets,
clothing and accessories. Huckleberry
products ranging from coffee to candy
and including wonderful lotions and
soaps are a particular favorite with visitors. The Gift Shop can prepare madeto-order gift baskets for the Holidays
and for your gift-giving pleasure. RH

Math’s Alive At the Strategic Air & Space Museum
MathAlive! Opened September 21, 2013
at the Strategic Air & Space Museum
in Ashland, Neb. This one of the most
interactive and inspiring exhibitions
exploring the world of mathematics
ever to tour. MathAlive! is designed to
inspire, to spark the imagination and to
reveal not only math at work, but also
the endless possibilities of math. Primarily designed for kids in grades 3-8, the
exhibition brings to life the real math
behind what kids love most – video
games, sports, design, music, robotics
and more – and creates interactive and
immersive experiences that bring to life
the math at work in each, whether in
design, application or use. In this 5,000-square-foot exhibition,
visitors will ride snowboards in a 3-D
experience, design (and play) their own
video games, capture their 360-degree
images in a unique interactive, jump
into a binary dance party, even design
a custom skateboard for “pop” – the
quick, snapping motion that allows a
board to do the best tricks. Through
nearly 40 unique, interactive experiences, the exhibit takes math from its native
form into the applied worlds of design,
engineering, technology and science.
Strategic Air & Space Museum guests
will explore and operate simulations
of NASA’s latest robotics, including
14 R i t z
H o spi ta l i t y
M a g a z ine
the Robonaut 2 and Curiosity rover.
Around a large-scale futuristic bridge
they learn how engineers work to make
a city hum while taking on different
engineering roles to design a more
sustainable infrastructure.
The exhibition is designed to help answer the age-old question: “Will I ever
use all this math they’re teaching us?”
Guests are accompanied by fun and
quirky virtual guides. Along the way
they’ll meet and hear professionals, visionaries and inspiring personalities talk
about math in their work across fields
kids are most interested in exploring.
The exhibit addresses all math strands
and subjects for upper elementary and
middle school, and neatly aligns with
standards for educator planning.
“This innovative exhibit responds to
the national movement toward greater
focus on STEM development and
STEM career awareness,” said Scott
Tarry, President & CEO of the Strategic
Air & Space Museum. “By engaging
kids in fun, math-based activities, the
content can inspire students to make
math a priority, reaching them in that
window of vulnerability when math
gets more challenging and kids begin
to lose interest. I’m confident that the
exhibit and related hands-on activities developed will ignite the thrill of
innovation and discovery for all those
who visit the museum. I know people
will be impressed and learn something
new as they interact with math coming
to life right in front of them.”
The Strategic Air & Space Museum located between Lincoln and Omaha
near Interstate 80, utilizes over 300,000
square feet of exhibit, education, and
event space to ignite the thrill of discovery and innovation in guests of all ages.
Organized in 1959, the original mission
of the museum was to commemorate
the contributions of the Strategic Air
Command, which until 1992 was
headquartered at Offutt Air Force Base.
The museum moved to its current location in 1998 upon completion of a new
indoor facility. The museum houses an
impressive collection of military aircraft
and space artifacts, many of which
have been restored in the museum’s
on-site restoration facility. To better
serve the community, the museum has
recently established a partnership with
the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s
Office of STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) Education to provide cutting-edge educational
opportunities for students, teachers,
families, and adult learners. Traveling
exhibits, permanent exhibits, and a variety of special events provide additional
unique experiences for the museum’s
members and guests. RH

Kansas Cosmosphere And Space Center
F
ounded in 1962, the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space
Center started out as the Hutchinson Planetarium.
It now consists of 105,000 square feet dedicated to
space science exhibits and educational programs, including a
planetarium, an IMAX® Dome Theater and the internationally
recognized Hall of Space Museum.
“Apollo 13” Courtesy: Kansas Cosmosphere And Space Center
The Cosmosphere houses the most significant collection of
U.S. space artifacts outside of the National Air and Space
Museum, and the largest collection of Soviet space artifacts
in the Western world, The Cosmosphere tells the story of the
Space Race in a way that no other museum can.
The Cosmosphere’s collection includes one-of-a-kind artifacts
such as the Apollo 13 command module Odyssey, the space
capsule Gemini X, the SR-71 Blackbird #961, and rare V-1 and
V-2 rockets. It also has on display a complete set of Mercury,
Gemini and Apollo spacecraft juxtaposed with a complete set
of Russian Vostok, Voskhod and Soyuz spacecraft. It is also the
permanent home of the Mercury capsule, Liberty Bell 7, which
the Cosmosphere and Discovery Channel recovered from the
ocean floor.
Approximately 150,000 visitors visit the Cosmosphere
yearly from every state and dozens of foreign countries.
Named one of the first affiliates of the Smithsonian Institution
in 1998, students visit the facility every year as part of school
field trips.
For more than 25 years, students have attended nationally
recognized camps at the cosmosphere. Camps are designed
for students as young as those going into the second grade
through high school age. The Cosmosphere also offers camps
for adults, scouts, and custom camps tailored to any group.
Named an official project of Save America’s Treasures by
the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the White
House, the Cosmosphere is known worldwide for its space
artifact restoration program including the complete restoration
of Apollo 13 and Liberty Bell 7.
When Liberty Bell 7 completed its nationwide tour late in 2005
and returned for permanent display at the space museum, the
Cosmosphere became one of only three locations in the world to
have flown Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecrafts.

Welcome To Ontario, Oregon
Home of “America’s Global Village Festival”
O
ntario, Oregon is nestled on the lush banks of the
Snake River and is proud to be the first Oregon city
you encounter when traveling west from the Idaho
border. Once you enter the uniquely rugged landscape of the
Treasure Valley, you will come to understand why many people
never want to leave. Those who choose to live here understand
the meaning and importance of a quality, family oriented lifestyle. Thus, the community reflects the energy, distinction, and
diversity of its surrounding geography and residents.
And speaking of diversity, this year the Ontario Chamber of
Commerce will host the 14th annual America’s Global Village
Festival in Lions Park on June 7th – the first Saturday in June.
The festivities begin at 10:00 a.m. with a multicultural parade
through the park followed by a flag ceremony.
The Festival celebrates the authentic cultural villages of
African, Basque, German, Hawaiian, Japanese, Mexican,
Pioneer, Scottish and Native American cultures. Each village
features food, arts and crafts, cultural demonstrations and
free youth activities. The main stage will highlight cultural
entertainment throughout the day.
Upon entering the park for the Festival, visitors will be given
a souvenir passport. With each visit to the villages, the passport
will be stamped. When children have a full passport, they will
receive a free prize. Adults who turn in a complete survey will
have a chance to win one of two $50 gas cards.
While Ontario is the kind of laid-back town you dream about
when you want to get away from the hectic schedule of a busy,
big city lifestyle, it also boasts a myriad of recreational activities for all ages, interests and skill levels within driving distance
from its downtown area. Here you can enjoy mountain biking,
hiking, golfing, camping, sport fishing, bird watching, kayaking, river rafting, horseback riding and much more. Ontario is
situated only two hours from four separate ski resorts, including
the world renowned Tamarack Ski Resort in Cascade, Idaho.
You can not only downhill ski to your heart’s content, but also
snowmobile, cross country ski and ice skate as well. There are
also 61 acres of lush parks within the city if you’re looking for
a place to just relax and enjoy the landscape.
Ontario is a town where you will find the people are genuine,
authentic, friendly, and down to earth. It is a town with a
fascinating history, rich traditions, and a diverse population.
It is also a place filled with things to do, places to see, and
four distinct and beautiful seasons, so any time you choose to
visit will be the perfect time. Visit us on our website at www.

Visit The Most Notorious Bars In Texas
H
untsville is home to the finest
prison bars in Texas and the
first gated community since
1849. The idea for the museum budded
in the mid-1980’s by community volunteers and administrators of the Texas
Department of Corrections who began
collecting and preserving artifacts scattered throughout the vast prison system.
Some of the artifacts were displayed
in the Criminal Justice Center of Sam
Houston State University in Huntsville.
The growing interest in the prison collections led to the opening of the Texas
Prison Museum in 1989 - located in a
small, leased building on the downtown
square. While the most prominent
artifacts on display were loaned by the
prison system, additional items were
loaned by individuals. As it grew in
popularity, the museum board and the
prison system shared a vision to build
a new home by Interstate 45. In 2002,
the Prison Museum opened its new
6,000 square foot facility. The new
museum grounds is also the home of
the Sesquicentennial Plaza, dedicated
in 1998 to past and present employees
of the Texas prison system.
The Prison Museum still receives
donations of artifacts and is planning
the addition of a new museum wing to
accommodate the need for additional
space. Over 31,000 people visited
the museum in 2013. A popular and
interesting tour includes Old Sparky,
the Texas electric chair that executed
361 men between 1924 - 1964; artifacts
from the famous Texas Prison Rodeo;
inmate-made weapons; guns used
by guards; artifacts from the 11-day
hostage situation in 1974; a detailed
model of the Huntsville “Walls” prison;
and a replica cell that you can enter.
A gift shop with many beautiful items
handcrafted by inmates is a popular
shopping venue. Stop in for a visit - we
promise to let you leave. RH
Celebrating 25 years! The Texas Prison Museum showcases the
world’s most famous prison system. Visitors can see Old Sparky,
the Texas electric chair, artifacts from the famous Texas Prison Rodeo, inmate made weapons and craft items, guns used by guards, an

a pair of flip flops to discover their new favorite restaurant,
watering hole or shop on Frisco’s charming Main Street. At
some point, you will likely find yourself sitting on a blanket
with your family at one of Frisco’s Concerts in the Park, and
you’ll wonder if you could call in sick and make this laidback
western mountain town your home for a few more days. Visit
us at www.townoffrisco.com or call (800) 424-1554 to find

Hon-Dah
Resort – Casino
T
state. Scenery that Barry Goldwater once
described as, “a little piece of Heaven
that God let fall to Earth.” To most of
us, the cool air alone is Heaven. So with
Senator Goldwater’s words in mind, may
I suggest a destination that has come
to be known as the jewel of the White
Mountains - Hon-Dah Resort Casino.
Their latest marketing campaign
promises “a million moments….one
place.” And that is a promise that is
easily kept. Hon-Dah Resort Casino
has always distinguished itself as the
premiere White Mountain destination
surrounded by the great outdoors. With
over 128 well-appointed rooms, fine
dining and amazing buffets, pals a level
of hospitality that many higher-profile
resorts could take a lesson from, the
resort has been quietly building a
reputation for excellence for years.
The Casino hosts over 800 slot
machines with over 100 new ones
in place. Check out the poker room
and its weekly schedule of tournaments, LIVE entertainment 6 nights
a week, including Munday Fun day
which features headline comedians.
And don’t forget about the culinary
choices. From casino snacks to
fine dining and buffets (and room
service), the Hon-Dah Resort Casino
has established itself as the informed
choice as “home-base” for a White
Mountain Getaway.
Take a break from the heat and visit
Hon-Dah Resort Casino and check out
the coolest spot in Arizona.

Windmill Inns & Suites’ Top-Notch Services, Unique
Amenities Generate Rave Reviews from Guests
Y
ou know you’re doing something right when guests say
their only disappointment is
not finding your hotels everywhere
they travel.
The Scottsdale-based group of two
in—Chandler, and Tucson, Ariz.—is
earning rave reviews from guests who
have experienced Windmill Inns &
Suites’ spotless guestrooms and public
areas, top-notch service and highly
affordable rates. Guest satisfaction is so
high that many patrons take the time to
not only fill out comment cards, but to
write glowingly of their experience.
“Our hallmark has always been great
rates; sincere, friendly service; and
roomy, clean accommodations,” said
Windmill Inns & Suites President and
C.E.O John Cauvin, a 30-year hotel
veteran.
“It’s incredibly satisfying to have
people tell us personally, in the lobby
or at the front desk, that they’ve enjoyed their stay,” Cauvin said. “But
when they take the time to write to
us about how much they enjoyed the
experience... well, that’s very special
and meaningful to us. It tells us that all
the hard work we put into delivering
great service, clean accommodations
and desired amenities—all at affordable
rates—is being rewarded.”
At Windmill Inns & Suites, those
amenities include free Continental
breakfast, free local calls (and free access to long-distance calls), free daily
newspapers for each guest, and free
parking. Cauvin points out that some of
these amenities are also offered at other
hotels, so he’s implemented an amenity
program that goes above and beyond
the typical hotel offerings.
For example, both Windmill Inns &
Suites allow pets to stay—for free; all
make bicycles available for free; all
make available free lending libraries
and free games for children; and all
offer high-speed Internet access—for
free—as well as access to free helpdesk assistance, should the need arise,
via a toll-free phone number. And
there’s even a bonus included in the
free Continental breakfast—guests can
even make their own waffles!
“We’ve always tried to do things
that set us apart from our competitors
and provide more satisfaction for our
guests,” Cauvin said. “That’s been our
philosophy for more than 20 years, and
we’ve instilled it in our staff culture
and emphasized it in our ongoing
staff-training programs. We believe in it
thoroughly, and that is why we’re proud
to offer guests our unique, 110 percent
guarantee of satisfaction.”
