CRATER LAKE SPIRITS CELEBRATES TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

Bend’s small-batch, handcrafted spirits company Crater Lake Spirits is celebrating twenty-five years in business. The company was launched in 1996, and opened its first Central Oregon tasting room after helping to change Oregon liquor laws to allow distillers to have tasting rooms. The company expanded its portfolio of spirits over two-and-a-half decades to include vodka, gin and whiskey, along with infused vodkas (hazelnut espresso, pepper and sweet ginger), reserve products, ground-to-bottle estate products and special releases, including Hatch green chili vodka and northwest berry vodka, rye whiskey, Black Butte malt whiskey and more. In early March, the latest release was the Crater Lake Estate Rye Whiskey, an American rye whiskey aged five years in the high desert. Visit Crater Lake Spirits at their location in Tumalo or tasting room in downtown Bend for bottle sales and mini cocktails made using the spirits. See craterlakespirits.com.

Old Mill District’s New Mural Celebrates Connection Between Bend and Hawaii It’s unlikely visitors will see an elephant in the Old Mill District, but as of this spring, an elephant ear or two are on display. A new mural in the Old Mill District’s collection of public art portrays the Colocasia esculenta plant, more commonly known as elephant ear. The tropical plants are found in Hawaii, where muralist Danny Fry, owner of Sutiki Emporium, grew up. In Hawaii, the plant is known as taro, and is one of the main staples of Hawaiian food culture. Fry said the inspiration for this piece came from his childhood in Hawaii and the connection between Bend and Hawaii. Sometimes called the lava connection, Bend and Hawaii have long had ties. For Fry, the vibrant colors of the leaves represent the mix of people in Bend, and the many plants together represent growth and positivity. The mural, titled The Colocasia Esculenta, is located between Lululemon and Somewhere That’s Green in the Old Mill District. See oldmilldistrict.com.

Housing Development Soars in Madras NEW WINE BAR IN THE BOX FACTORY

Stoller Wine Bar, newly opened in the Box Factory, intends to add the missing element of wine to Bend while making the experience accessible to wine novices and connoisseurs alike. “We think of wine very much as part of a well-rounded lifestyle,” said Michelle Kaufmann, Stoller Wines communications director. “Whether you’ve been out hiking all day or you just hit the slopes, and you’re coming in off the mountain, [Stoller Wine Bar] is the place to stop, grab a drink, and reset before you go home and make dinner or go out to dinner.” Stoller offers five different brands, with Stoller, Chehalem, Chemistry, History and the Canned Oregon product, all available at the new location. Stoller Wine Bar has wine by the glass and on tap, flights, an extensive list of bottles, plus beer on tap and cider. They offer cheese, charcuterie boards and flatbreads, with more elevated small bites to come. Reservations recommended. See stollerfamilyestate.com.

A housing boom of sorts is underway in Madras, a town of nearly 7,000 people in Jefferson County. Madras Community Development Director Nick Snead credits the boom to both a housing action plan passed by the town in 2018, as well as a housing urban renewal district, dedicated to helping with the cost of construction. The housing action plan set a goal of developing thirty-five new homes a year, but in 2020 the town approved fifty-eight new dwellings, with others currently in the permitting process. This housing boom can also be credited in part to the growing cost of housing in nearby areas like Bend, as well as an increase in remote workers; many people no longer have to live in the city they work in and are opting to take advantage of boom markets, like the one in Madras. Snead predicts that the Madras housing market will continue to boom as long as Deschutes County housing prices remain high.

Projects on Tap for City of Redmond A massive new water facility, transportation upgrades and a new city park are among millions of dollars in city upgrades on tap for Redmond in 2021. A new $16 million water facility in southwest Redmond will feature a 1,000-foot well, 4-million-gallon reservoir and 7,000-gallon-per-minute booster pump station, helping to serve the growing city of 30,000 residents. The facility is expected to be complete in the fall. Elsewhere in Redmond, city upgrades include updating three transportation corridors, with an overhaul of NE Hemlock Avenue between U.S. Highway 97 and NE Ninth Street. In the spring, the city is expected to get to work on a new eight-acre park in south-central Redmond, at a cost of $2.7 to $4 million. The city sought public input for the development of the park, which will have a game area with horseshoe pits and bocce ball courts, a playground, perimeter trail and playground,

along with features to preserve the area’s natural high desert environment. The new Quartz Park at the southern end of Dry Canyon will help the city reach its goal of having a park within a half-mile walk of all residents in Redmond.

Les Schwab Amphitheater Being Rebuilt The first phase of renovations for Bend’s iconic Les Schwab Amphitheater began in December, with the entire structure torn down to make way for a completely new performance venue. The new amphitheater is expected to be more accessible and offer more capacity, therefore attracting a wider variety of performers. For this first phase, construction is expected to conclude in June, with artists like Dave Matthews Band and Luke Bryan tentatively set to perform later in the year. More phases of construction are planned for the following years.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer the structural capacity necessary to host all of the amazing artists interested in making Bend a stop on their tour,” said Marney Smith, Les Schwab Amphitheater’s general manager. Smith added that in the past, Bend has missed out on some big name artists because of the old amphitheater’s limited capacity. The new stage will include pine accents that pay homage to the nearby Old Mill, and old pieces from the original amphitheater, upcycled to reduce potential waste. See bendconcerts.com.

DESCHUTES COUNTY HOUSING PERMITS SURGED IN 2020 More housing is on the way to Deschutes County, if housing permits are any indication, though likely not enough to make a significant impact on inventory or prices. Permits for more than 2,400 new housing units were issued in 2020, up about nineteen percent, or an increase of 375 units, compared to 2019. It’s also the most housing permits issued in a year since 2006. Among the new housing units are 464 apartment units and 1,792 single-family homes. The new housing is good news for the extremely tight real estate market, which continues to have limited inventory and rising prices.

HIGH DESERT MUSEUM PICKS UP $6 MILLION DONATION

In February, the Sisters-based Roundhouse Foundation awarded $6 million to the High Desert Museum, the largest single donation in the museum’s nearly forty-year history. The gift will support the long-term vision for the future of the museum, which includes more capacity for educational programming, immersive experiences to bring visitors into the forest canopy, and, in collaboration with Tribal partners, an update of the museum’s permanent exhibition on the past and present of the Indigenous people of the Columbia Plateau, “By Hand

Through Memory.” The vision also includes adding a permanent art gallery, providing the eastern side of the state with its first dedicated art museum. The museum’s roughly 29,000-object collection includes a growing body of art. The museum opened in 1982. Founder Donald M. Kerr envisioned the space as an immersive experience that highlights the wonder of the high desert, often saying that its mission is to “wildly excite and responsibly teach.” The Roundhouse Foundation started in 2002 as a collaboration by Sisters resident Kathy Deggendorfer and her mother, Gert Boyle. The organization supports and encourages creative thinking and efforts to help increase the viability of the arts as a large part of the Sisters and Central Oregon economy, as well as supporting social

services, education and environmental stewardship. “Central Oregon is fortunate to have a top-flight museum,” said Kathy Deggendorfer, a founder and trustee of the Roundhouse Foundation. “The High Desert Museum is a cultural hub and portal for learning about the high desert, through its art, its history, its environment and its people. There’s no place else in the region that does that.” The museum today is the largest cultural institution in Oregon east of the Cascades. It welcomed nearly 200,000 visitors in 2019, serves more than 12,000 students each year and contributes roughly $20 million annually to the local economy, according to a recent economic study. See highdesertmuseum.org and roundhousefoundation.org.

Tetherow Chef Shines in Bon Appétit Competition The head chef of Solomon’s at Tetherow Resort, Jamar Adams, has earned a spot as a contender in Bon Appétit magazine’s “Favorite Chef” competition. Adams began this journey by being one of thousands of chefs to send in photos of their work to the acclaimed culinary magazine, and, as of early March, stood as one of the top five chefs within his competition group still vying for a chance to win $50,000 and a two-page spread in the magazine. “I believe that winning this competition will not only boost my culinary career, it will put me in a position to learn more and give back,” said Adams as part of his Favorite Chef profile page for the contest.

Adams spent thirteen years in the U.S. Army before he attended culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Portland. If he wins, Adams plans on paying off his bills, traveling to learn more culinary arts and buying his friends a beer or two. See favchef.com.

efore landing in Bend’s NorthWest Crossing, Jason Burge and his wife Molly Tilley lived through a tough heat spell. Tilley was stationed in Texas with the Air Force where they endured sixty continuous days of temperatures higher than 100 degrees. When she got the opportunity to interview for a new job in a town with more temperate seasons—Bend—the couple jumped at the chance. “I was so sold on moving here that I told my wife to make sure she didn’t bomb the interview the next day,” Burge recalled. The interview went well and Tilley was hired as a nephrologist with Bend Memorial Clinic. As the new job’s start date steadily approached, it was time for the couple to find a new place to call home. They met with a realtor who drove them from house to house, and the couple soon realized that every home that excited them belonged to a certain neighborhood—NorthWest Crossing. “It was at this point when we knew where we wanted to live,” Burge said. The couple was fortunate enough to secure a house that had only been on the market for a handful of days, and the rest is history. There are many factors that drove Burge and Tilley into NorthWest Crossing, but their two young children might have been the most important. “Our kids were pre-K and elementary level at the time, so High Lakes Elementary was a big draw for us,” Burge said. “We also enjoy being close to Compass Park where the kids always had room to run around.” The shopping and restaurant scene in NorthWest Crossing was still small when Burge and Tilley first moved in nine years ago, but it has since grown in popularity as new businesses and residents have settled in. Having homes close to schools, parks, shops and restaurants was a matter of design for the master-planned community on the west side of Bend, a quick five-minute drive from downtown. NorthWest Crossing was developed by West Bend Property Company LLC, a partnership of two local developers—Tennant Developments, LLC and Brooks Resources Corporation. Lots for the nearly 500-acre, mixed-use development were sold in phases to a pool of builders, using a lottery system that began in 2001. Developers built a mix of custom and speculative homes over the years, attracting young families, as well as retirees who had money to spend during the economic downturn. By 2018, the last lots were spoken for and the final homes under construction. Today, the development is comprised of 1,175 homesites, with home sales over the past six months averaging around $900,000, according to Cascade Sotheby’s realtor Lisa Connors, who has worked with buyers and sellers in the neighborhood since 2015. Connors has watched the neighborhood develop firsthand, and

even decided to purchase her own family home in an adjacent neighborhood, just to get access to the amenities of NorthWest Crossing. “Many businesses in NorthWest Crossing, whether old or new, act as gathering places for the community,” Connors said. “This not only creates a sense of community for everyone involved, it also makes local businesses very welcoming places. The businesses are within walking distance to the neighborhood, and this makes homes in the area very desirable.” Roundabout Books and Sparrow Bakery have been popular spots for book clubs, while Portello Winecafe and other restaurants bring in people through special deals that are spread by word of mouth, keeping them mostly secret to all but locals. With a sense of community, there’s also a sense of safety, which

Burge and Tilley both enjoy about their neighborhood. “Our kids can get on their bikes and bring us eggs or milk from West Coast Provisions when we run out, or even some sweet treats from Sparrow to start the morning,” Burge said. While many gatherings have been on hold because of the pandemic, many NorthWest Crossing businesses have continued to operate as normally as possible, adapting to changing protocols over the past year. At the new Bavarian restaurant Pflüke, this means cozy, hand-built igloos available for outdoor diners. “These restaurants are really doing everything they can to provide you their service,” Connors said. “I remember seeing the owner of Pflüke building the igloos out of cinder blocks by himself, and that is reflective of the effort these businesses are putting in.” NorthWest Crossing has some exciting developments on the horizon that might make it an even more attractive place to live. Currently under construction is The Grove, a two-story, mixed-use building that will have a public marketplace with space for food and drink vendors and shared seating. Along with retail and parking on the ground level and condominiums in the back, this new development has the potential to become yet another popular gathering place, and just another reason to move to NorthWest Crossing.

hen Jim Norman graduated college, his mom presented him with a couple of men’s business suits, an appropriate gift for a future junior executive who had just earned a degree in business finance. The suits were of no interest to Norman, who quickly decided a summer spent working construction for his uncle in Montana sounded more appealing. Earning $4 an hour, he started to learn the building industry, and soon enough he was eager to start a business of his own. Norman and his wife arrived in Bend in 1977, and started talking to banks about building speculative homes in their new city. “We found Bend, and we fell in love with it,” Norman said. “There were only 15,000 people at the time, and it was a whole different place.” Slowly the new business, Norman Building & Design, left behind spec home construction in favor of custom projects, with the quality and finishes getting more complex and finer over time. More than four decades later, Norman Building & Design has evolved into one of the region’s most highly regarded custom home builders, sought after by current and prospective residents looking to build their dream homes. The company’s solid foundation and core values, created in those early years by Norman, are poised to carry on as his son-inlaw, Brian Murphy, takes the torch and the company looks towards a bright future in Central Oregon. spring 2021

I BEND HOME + DESIGN

BUILDING THE BUSINESS

The Norman Building team has developed over the years, but family remains an integral part of the company. Jim Norman’s brother Ron Norman and nephew David Norman are project managers, and Jim’s son-in-law, Murphy, was named president in 2018. They’re some of about thirty employees total that provide a range of skills, from general labor and carpentry to interior design, cabinetry, doors and furniture and office staff. Bringing so many artisans in-house is a strategy Norman Building & Design has used to make the construction process more efficient and higher in quality. In the early days, Norman learned how to be a general contractor and home designer, managing home builds and taking on many roles, while working with other professionals who specialized in things like cabinets or doors. As time went on, there was a realization that the more the company could do in-house, the better. Rather than coordinating with an outside cabinet builder, they hired their own to be a permanent staff member. The same was done with interior design, doors and furniture. The setup allows for stronger collaboration between each craftsperson, and simpler communication between builder and homeowner. “Our philosophy is to honor the voice of the client at every step of the process from floor plan design to the hand off of keys and beyond” Murphy said.

TRUSTING THE PROCESS

Another strategy of Norman Building & Design is the company’s commitment to transparency, building trust with homeowners through an open communication process, contracts with fixed prices and a top-notch warranty once the home is done. “When you move in, you’ll tell your friends you had an awesome time building your dream home,” Murphy said. That start-to-finish process of helping someone create their dream home is what attracted Murphy to the industry, he said. After meeting Jim Norman’s daughter Jenny in college, he spent a summer in Bend working as a general laborer at age 19. He returned years later, after graduating with a degree in math and economics, to join the Norman family business. “I think the most fun part for me is building a relationship with our clients based on a mutual desire to turn a slice of Central Oregon into a dream home they will be proud of for years to come,” Murphy said. Once a home is completed, the builders stay in touch with the homeowners for years to come, backing up their work through a warranty. Now that the business has been around for so long, they’re also getting more requests for small or large remodeling projects, refreshing Norman Building homes (and other high-quality builds) ready for a fresh look or design.

In the four decades since Norman first landed in Bend, he’s watched the community change and grow, and his company do the same. “It’s been incredible,” Norman said. “And it’s amazing the reputation of our company has grown so much.” When picturing what Norman Building & Design would become in the future, Norman said it was time to pass the company along to his son-in-law, who in 2021 will have been with the company fourteen years. “I’m really fortunate to have somebody like Brian, who has the same moral values and wants to do the right thing for the client,” said Norman, who along with Murphy expresses a genuine passion for creating dream homes for their clients. “It’s more about doing what’s right for the client, and doing something very creative and having fun with it,” Norman said. Murphy is poised to apply his fresh perspectives to the company in the future, while also acknowledging Norman’s role in building the business from the ground up. “What he’s created is really special—it’s a unique business model with a solid reputation and many years of success,” Murphy said. “I feel ready and excited to be handed the keys to something like that and take it to the next level.”

LOOKING AHEAD

Central Oregonians familiar with Norman Building can likely pick out one of the company’s homes for its distinctive look, sturdy craftsmanship and fine finishes. While some characteristics of the “Classic Norman Design,” like an open concept with a great outdoor living space won’t change, Murphy is also excited to push the boundaries of what the company has been known for in the past. “Moving into other styles and going in new directions, we are at a very good place as a company, and the team we have assembled here is capable of amazing things,” Murphy said. While exploring new styles, Murphy said he remains committed as president to carrying on the company’s strong values of high-quality work, innovation and growth, teamwork and having a fun, family-like work environment. These values are also what Andrew Bloo, the company’s new director of sales and marketing, plans to reinforce throughout the Central Oregon community. Together Murphy and Bloo are helping to reimagine the future of the company, including efforts to explore new styles of architectural and interior design, as well as bringing a heightened level of sophistication to the business. “What we’re wanting to do is really take that culture of quality that Norman has built his business on, and that commitment to client satisfaction, and really accentuate that culture while reimagining the tools and solutions we employ to achieve that goal,” Bloo said. “It’s taking the spirit of what we’ve done for forty-three years, and looking at new ways of meeting client expectations and achieving that same goal for the next forty-three years.” Bloo joins the Norman team with nearly thirty years of sales and marketing experience in high-tech markets and more than a decade of experience assisting companies navigate strategic pivots and management transitions. “I really believe in this group of talented and motivated people, but more importantly, I believe in Brian’s vision for where he sees this team taking Norman,” Bloo said.

Murphy said that in the earlier years of the company, as a joke Norman had a four-billed hat with different job titles like “project manager” and “accountant” on each side, representing his need to wear many hats and dabble in all facets of the growing business. Today, Norman Building & Design employs many of their own experts, with the skills and passion to push the company forward. Norman is one of those experts, though he sticks to strictly designing new homes these days. “My philosophy is really based on teamwork—my whole goal is building a strong team of trusted experts and surrounding myself with them,” Murphy said. “I’m not going to be the one wearing four hats the way Jim had to, I’m going to build the strong team around me and make sure they don’t have anything blocking them from providing our clients with an exceptional experience.” Norman Building & Design 1016 SW Emkay Drive, Bend normanbuilding.com 541-389-4245 CCB#149151

TIPS FOR ORGANIZING THE CLUTTERED KITCHEN PANTRY

WRITTEN BY SUZANNE JOHNSON

rom spice blends to sourdough starters and air fryers to instant pots, cooking essentials have taken over our kitchens. Home cooking grew exponentially over the past year, both as a diversion and out of necessity. This trend means we’re keeping more food and more appliances on hand. Where do we put it all? In the quest for efficient storage, savvy home chefs are taking a fresh look at their pantries. Once a black hole of outdated canned goods, crammed with chip bags and dust pans, today’s pantry is transforming into an inviting extension of the kitchen space. A pantry space, large or small, can keep the meal prep humming along in any home. All it takes is a bit of planning, a few modifications and some really cute baskets.

DESIGNING THE SPACE Unless you’re remodeling or designing a new home, upgrading the pantry means working with what you’ve got. Makeover the current pantry, reclaim an underused broom closet or repurpose a vintage armoire. Even a wall along the basement stairs or mud room can serve as pantry space. First, plan shelving to fit your needs: large, bulky items go on low shelves, where pullout drawers are a plus. Seasonal items like turkey roasters go up high. Everyday items go in-between, on shelves about ten inches deep. For individuals with food sensitivities, avoid crosscontamination with dedicated shelf space for gluten-free or special foods. To max out the pantry, make your door do more. Sliding doors save space, but traditional doors offer valuable storage territory. Bat-wing door shelves hold spices and small jars. A coat of chalkboard paint turns the door into the family notepad for grocery lists and reminders.

dinner parties. With electrical outlets, the counter becomes home to the coffeemaker, toaster or microwave, keeping kitchen counters clutter-free. Busy families use pantry countertops to manage calendars, charge phones and plan meals. Even four-legged family members can claim some pantry space, with a food bowl station tucked into a low slide-out. Wine lovers might tuck a modular wine rack or fridge below the counter and hang wine glasses on stemware racks above. When your hands are full, motion-sensor switches for LED task and track lighting makes pantry use even easier.

When it comes to elevating pantry style, clear containers win the prize. From cereal to baking powder, decanting dry goods into see-through tubs creates a clean apothecary vibe. Whether you choose simple mason jars or a contemporary set, keeping quantities visible means you’re less likely to run out. Look for lids that are easy to remove but air-tight to keep staples fresh. Clear containers are meant to be seen, but what about pantry items best kept out of sight?

attractive front. Give each basket a theme: one for kids’ anytime snacks, one for graband-go breakfasts, one for spur-of-themoment entertaining supplies. They’re not just for corralling food—baskets work well for art supplies and paper goods. Pantries are no place for mysteries— every container needs a label. If you’ve got a steady hand, use oil-based metallic sharpies to write directly on the surface or on sticker labels. For those ready for next-level label making, a hand-held label maker may be a worthy investment. Once the contents of the pantry are in order and labeled, keep organized by putting things away after cooking and carefully restocking after shopping trips.

Pantries can be a great place to add colorful accents to liven up an otherwise neutral kitchen and dining area in the home. Try painting the pantry door a vibrant color such as a bold blue or green. If the door has a window to see inside or will be open most of the time, consider the colors of containers, foot stools, small appliances and other items on display inside the room, too. Wallpaper is once again a popular way to add color and fun designs onto the walls of a room. Choose from a growing number of peel-and-stick varieties to quickly change the look and feel of the pantry. This type of wallpaper is renter-friendly and a great way to test out new décor without a significant commitment. With a little planning and organization, some labels and a touch of color, the pantry can be a functional and fun addition to any kitchen.

Splish- Splash CLEAN DESIGN FOR A KID-FRIENDLY BATHROOM PHOTO DAN CUTRONA PHOTOGR APHY

WRITTEN BY MARY HINDS

BEND HOME + DESIGN I spring 2021

DESIGN TRENDS

rom teeth brushing after breakfast to bubble baths before bedtime, a bathroom where children start and end each day should be playful, yet practical. Kids grow up fast, so before installing toddler-sized toilets and bright-colored countertops, consider ways to make effective use of your family’s space with features that can change with a child’s tastes. With an eye on safety, easy access and organization, here are some kidfriendly ideas to help you make bath time lots of fun.

PHOTO JANE BEILES , DESIGNER D2 INTERIEURS

PLAY IT SAFE Before fun themes or color schemes, bathroom design should always start with safety first to protect children from common hazards such as slipping, scalding and everyday curiosity. Prevent trips and falls with f loor fixes such as bath mats, decals or anti-slip tile treatments. Cover sharp faucets with spout guards and install removable grab bars to help little ones in and out of the tub. Also, kids love to test everything— from water temps to electric hairdryers—so you should, too. Inspect each part of the room for potential danger zones; check that shelving is secure, appliances are unplugged, and the water heater is set to no more than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Most importantly, make certain breakable glass, chemicals and medicines are removed or kept out of reach by adding childproof locks to cabinets or drawers.

I BEND HOME + DESIGN

Store towels on a low shelf for easy access.

ON THEIR LEVEL As children learn self-care routines, it is important to ensure that everyday tasks are accessible. Help kids reach new heights with a small step stool (or two) that allows them to climb up to the sink without adult help. A stool should be sturdy, but still easy to carry so it can travel from countertop to toilet and tub throughout the day.

Another way to achieve a childsized setup? Think short. When little hands need washing or want to grab a towel, make things easier by stocking appropriate supplies at their height; set folded towels in a nearby basket or beneath the vanity, and keep toilet paper in an easy to reach drawer. Install an adjustable hand shower to simplify bathing small children (and shower cleanup!) and assist older kids’ transition from baths to showers.

FUN IN STORE Small kids make big bathroom messes—from towels tossed on the floor to drawers overflowing with toothpaste and toys— so “storage before style” is a good rule of thumb to reduce clutter. Arranging items effectively and creating easy cleanup habits can encourage kids to get on board with an organized bathroom that they can keep tidy (mostly) on their own. For starters, select a bathroom vanity with both counter and cabinet space, or outfit an existing pedestal sink with shelving units. Second, opt for extra hooks (anchored or over-the door) that can hang more towels than traditional racks and allow kids to skip folding without looking sloppy. Minimize the rest of the mess by designating water-resistant storage bins to drain and contain bath toys as well as a hamper to keep dirty clothes under control.

FAIR AND SHARE Sharing a bathroom with siblings or occasional guests calls for a smart, squabble-free layout that creates extra elbow room for all. Speed up morning routines and cut back on kids’ clashes by adding double vanity stations or a farmhouse

sink with multiple faucets if the room is short on space. Another way to encourage kids to keep things nice and neat is to provide personal storage—separate drawers or different colored caddies can help children visualize and organize their toiletries. In the end, a family bathroom should be functional for everyone, but also fun. Sprinkle in small details kids will remember— a few playful prints on the wall, animal hooks or a colorful shower curtain add a special touch that can turn bath time into playtime and let delight bubble over.

CHOOSING AND CARING FOR THE GREENERY THAT LIVES INSIDE

BEND HOME + DESIGN I spring 2021

GREEN THUMB

STYLE AND VARIETY One of the first things to consider when choosing a new plant is selecting a style of greenery that complements the space it will be kept. This means different people are going to be happier with different styles of plant, whether it’s a lush, leafy green or a dry desert variety. Tropical plants often come with some of the biggest green leaves around, and can turn a room into your own lush getaway. Tropical plants vary in size, with some larger varieties able to grow up to 30 feet under the right conditions, and some requiring large amounts of water and humidity. Other, smaller varieties can liven up a bookshelf, table or plant stand without significant maintenance. Many of the common houseplants you see are tropical, including spider plants and peace lilies. Desert plants include much more than just a basic cacti, with many more vibrant, green options to choose from. Although some desert plants can grow to monumental heights in the wild, most houseplant variants will be relatively small. Some are simple and green, while others can produce beautiful flowers in different seasons. They will typically not be as large and lush as their tropical counterparts. These plants can create a mini oasis anywhere they go, as long as they get plenty of sun and not too much water. Within these categories, there are many different types to choose from, including succulents, air plants, flowering plants, trailing vine-types and more.

CHOOSING WISELY After evaluating the types of houseplants available, it’s time to determine which to bring home. This comes down to evaluating the space where the plant will be kept. Someone with a large, warm space with tons of direct light and a lot of time to dedicate to maintenance might choose the monstera, a beautiful and tall, broad-leafed plant that has become so popular that its unique leaf shape is often featured in artwork. Have a little less space and sunlight? Consider the areca palm instead—these popular indoor palms thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Or for something more low maintenance, opt for the calathea, a variety of plant that thrives on indirect light and limited water. All three plants can give a room a lush feel, it just comes down to what that room is able to support.

WATER AND LIGHT CARE Different plants need different amounts of direct sunlight to survive. This divides most houseplants into three categories: full sun, semi-shade and shade. Full sun plants can withstand many hours of direct sunlight, while semi-shade and shade plants need some direct sunlight and no direct sunlight, respectively. Most plants will have a symbol on their tag when buying that describes their sunlight needs. In general, plants need water when

the soil is dry. Dry soil will appear at different rates with tropical and desert plants of varying sizes, so it’s a good idea to check a plant’s soil twice a day for the first week or so. After that, adjust the watering schedule based on how quickly the soil dries. As for the amount of water, start in proportion to the plant. For instance, a three-inch tall cactus sitting on a desk might get a few tablespoons of water every week, while a two-foot tall tropical plant in the corner of the room might get about half a liter of water a week, sometimes more. In the days and weeks after bringing

a plant home, be sure to check for signs of too much or too little water. Too little water will cause wilting and dead leaves, but too much water can be a little more tricky, as different plants have different tells. For example, some broad leaf plants will form brown, dry tips on their leaves when they are overwatered. With a little practice and careful attention to the needs of each plant, from watering and sunlight to placement inside a room, houseplants of any style can grow to thrive inside a home or office.

Infusions THREE WAYS TO SOAK OREGON FLAVORS INTO YOUR DRINKS

uring this year’s spring thaw, enjoy the longer days and sunny afternoons with a cocktail made from a flavorful liquor handcrafted right at home. Gather up whichever fruits, chilies and spices seem the tastiest and add them to liquors to marinate. For a touch of local flavor during cocktail hour, try some fresh ingredients readily available in Central Oregon. With some time spent infusing liquors like vodka and tequila in advance, crafting the cocktails themselves becomes a simple task, with many infused liquors pairing well with a simple splash of soda water, served over ice.

DRINK

FruityVodka Vodka is a great candidate for infusions—just scan the shelves of a liquor store to see dozens of fruity vodka combinations, including local varieties like Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Hazelnut Espresso Vodka or Wild Roots Marionberry Vodka. To start, grab a mason jar or bottle with a resealable lid and wash and dry a couple of fruits. Look for fresh Oregon strawberries starting in early May and available through the summer, and pair with vanilla beans or fresh basil. Tightly seal the jar and let rest for a couple days or up to a week, before straining with a cheesecloth. The flavor will fade over time, so enjoy the infusion plain or in a cocktail in the coming days. SPARKLING STRAWBERRY VODKA 2 oz strawberry infused vodka 4 oz soda water or sparkling seltzer Dash of simple syrup Add vodka, soda water and simple syrup to a glass with ice. Stir to combine and garnish with a fresh strawberry.

Tequila with a Kick

For a spicy libation, try infusing tequila with limes and local chilies. Choose the freshest chili peppers available and cut them in half lengthwise before adding them to a jar. Try habanero, chipotle or jalapeno for great flavors. Because peppers are a frost-sensitive crop that thrive during a long, warm growing season, there aren’t a ton of local options in Oregon. But, keep an eye out later in the summer for Oregon grown peppers, or try picking up a seedling in the spring and transplanting to the warmest place in the garden for a homegrown addition to this infusion. SPICY MARGARITA 2 oz pepper infused tequila 1 oz fresh lime juice ½ oz agave nectar Cayenne salt for rim

Homemade Gin

For a truly Central Oregon infusion, pick up some dried juniper berries to infuse gin at home. The berries are plentiful in Central Oregon, typically ripening in the fall, but with birds as competitors, the easiest way to get juniper berries is more likely purchasing them at the store. Start with plain vodka and juniper berries and infuse these together for a day or two to bring out that juniper taste and smell that gin is known for. Next, add in a mix of lemon slices, a piece of grapefruit rind, orange peel, chamomile, coriander seeds or lavender to spice up the flavors, infusing for a couple more days. Sip on this homemade gin infusion plain or pair with tonic water over ice for a flavorful gin and tonic. SIMPLE GIN AND TONIC 2 oz infused gin 4 oz tonic water Fresh lime for garnish Fill a highball glass with ice and gin, followed by tonic water. Garnish with fresh lime.

May A trio of contemporary artists headline PCA’s May show. Abstract painter Shar Coulson explores perception versus reality within the human figure and with nature-inspired themes. Her heightened ability to see recognizable objects in otherwise unrelated patterns guides her process. Formally trained in classical figurative realism, her passion runs deepest through abstract expression. Coulson lives and works in Chicago, and exhibits nationally and internationally. Central Oregon artist Rand Scot Smithey creates elegant abstract metal sculptures that often appear in outdoor

installations, including at his own rural home in Tumalo. He has lived all over the region, from Oregon to Alaska, and worked as a potter’s apprentice, a printer, a metalworker and writer. All these pursuits come together at his studio where he makes abstract art with oil, acrylic, charcoal, crayon, wax, steel and wood. Portland-based painter Korey Gulbrandson’s work has achieved local popularity and a loyal patronage in the city. His signature, self-taught style starts with a hand-crafted wood canvas that evolves into an accumulation of layers built with wax and other mediums. Using a torch and carving tools, Gulbrandson scribes and removes layers, creating a surprising plane of texture and color. He is currently represented by Caplan Art Designs, Gallery 903 in northwest Portland and PCA.

April Transfixed by clear water flowing over rock formations, Susan Luckey Higdon focuses on Oregon rivers in her April show at the Tumalo Art Co., an artist-run gallery in the Old Mill District. Known for her landscapes of iconic Central Oregon scenes, Higdon is drawn to unusual and dramatic compositions, patterns and colors. Higdon was the signature artist for the Deschutes River Conservancy’s RiverFest for eleven years and has been featured in Bend Magazine, Italian flyfishing magazine H2O and a segment on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Oregon Art Beat.”

May With an accent on birds, Bend artist Shelli Walters’ new work, “Earth+Feather,” emerges from her love for the Earth and wild creatures. “I enjoy…sharing the sense of oneness and wonder I find in nature,” she wrote. The lifelong Oregonian builds layers upon layers of thoughts, stories, experiences and moods into mixed media paintings and paper mache.

June “Journeys in Nature” by Sarah B. Hansen presents mixed-media contemporary landscape paintings based on hiking journeys throughout the Northwest and observations of the increasing challenges of human impact on wilderness areas. “As I paint, a dance between realism and abstractionism begins…suggesting natural landscape forms, but leaving areas to mystery and imagination,” she wrote. The Bend resident teaches watercolor and acrylic workshops through several online art schools.

He recently finished a five-month show at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York, and just installed an outdoor bronze monument at the Favell Museum in Klamath Falls.
