Arts & Entertainment Community More years ago than I care to remember, I created my first “bucket list.” Near the top was a trip through the Panama Canal (preferably on a luxury cruise ship.) I’ve accomplished many things on that list, and added more, but I’ve been forced to admit that visiting Panama and its canal is most likely not ever going to happen. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m going to have to learn about canals and locks by visiting its mini-me, Ballard’s Hiram Chittenden Locks.
