Community, family and heart. These are things that make Redmond what it is. A beer at Cascade Lakes, a walk through the juniper and sagebrush along the Dry Canyon trail, or an afternoon at the fair. These are the things that the people of Redmond love to do. World-class Japanese food? That may not be something that comes to mind when you think about Redmond, but Peter Preecha Tingakrau and Molly Naruemon Stephen, owners of Oishi Japanese Restaurant, along with their friend and general manager Yee Tanankarn Thanittithanand, are making people expand their definitions of what Redmond is all about while holding true to everything the community holds dear. Opening a little over a year ago on July 3, 2013, and located on Southwest Sixth Street in downtown Redmond, Oishi (pronounced Oy-shee) is a Japanese mealtime exclamation that means, “Tastes good!” and holds true as the moniker for the trendy but decidedly relaxed downtown establishment. “We’re really Thai,” explained Thanittithanand, “but at the time we were all thinking about moving here, Peter was working as a sushi chef in Santa Barbara, and [his wife] Molly had fallen in love with Japanese cuisine.” The trio of friends, who are part of a larger group of eight, moved to Central Oregon for a decidedly quieter life.
“We came here initially to visit a friend in Bend who owns Thai Orchid. We’re all friends and family from California,” continued Thanittithanand. “Everyone was just looking for something different, not LA, and wanted to settle down. We thought that it was not going to be super busy. We just wanted to open a small easy-going family business.” But after moving to Redmond in early 2013 for a short four months of preparation before opening its doors, the group of friends was not prepared for the overwhelmingly positive community response. “On the first day, we were just shocked,” said Thanittithanand. “Everyone came in at once. We needed more people. It was too crazy, so busy. We just weren’t prepared with how much people wanted to eat our food.” Oishi closed its doors for four days to regroup and reorganize the restaurant. What was intended to be a small, quiet family business was turning out to be just the place that Redmond was craving. “People were leaving messages and stopping us in town because they were worried that we were closed for good,” said Tingakrau. The short hiatus was all the restaurant needed, and the three entrepreneurs have been filling plates and expanding the palates of Redmondites ever since. “I love to eat sushi,” said Stephen, co-owner and cochef. “I wanted to make something unique, something Redmond Magazine | August • 2014 3
“We just didn’t expect people to be so nice, but we have so many customers that are becoming our friends.” — Yee Tanankarn Thanittithanand different. Our mussel sauce, our sesame dressing, both are very popular... I cook what I like. That’s how I’ve been creating the menu.” Tingakrau, who drives daily sushi preparation and the creation of new rolls and flavor combinations, has years of experience in the restaurant industry, both in the U.S. and Thailand. One of Oishi’s most sought after rolls and Tingakrau’s signature item is a spicy tuna roll with cucumber, avocado and cilantro, topped with more fresh tuna and yellowtail and finished with fresh grated wasabi root imported from Japan. “I love, really love, spicy,” said Tingakrau, beaming with laughter. “But
most important is that it tastes good, and we use fresh ingredients. We had to get wasabi root from Japan because the quality just isn’t available here ... Everything is homemade (and) we want the best quality possible for our customers. “We’ll think quickly or change something we’re doing if we’re not happy with the product. We used to buy shiso leaf from a local company in town, but just couldn’t get good quality, so we just had to rethink the menu a little. Do something else.” This care to detail and quality has not gone unnoticed in Redmond, and the group of Thai friends and family who moved to town just over a year ago

is continually expanding its connection to the community. “We just didn’t expect people to be so nice, but we have so many customers that are becoming our friends,” explained Thanittithanand. “People bring us fish from their fishing trip or cookies or cake that they made,” added Tingakrau. “The people of Redmond are just so nice. There is so much support here.” It was this spirit of giving that Oishi experienced that made them want to give back to the community. With the help of Toni Rich, one of these customers turned friends, Oishi celebrated its one-year anniversary in a big way. “Ever since they opened, I’ve been going to the restaurant a couple times a week,” said Rich. “The place is just that good... Then as their one-year anniversary was coming around, they decided they wanted to give back but didn’t know where to start. They looked at different organizations in Redmond, but decided that no, they wanted to go a different route.” Toni followed some leads and, through a physical therapy group in town, discovered Ethan Macomber, a special needs kindergartener in town who has Down syndrome. “After I got in touch with Paul, his dad, we really got the ball rolling,” Rich
continued. “Ethan has several special needs. He uses special glasses and orthopedics and regularly needs speech therapy.” Oishi pledged the profits from all sales on the day of its one-year anniversary and took up an in-house offering for Ethan, collecting nearly $6,000 in funds for the Macombers. “It was really wonderful to have the community come out like that. We got so busy I was seating people,” Rich laughed. “Everyone, staff and customers, were pulling together. Everyone was so understanding. We were packed from the time we opened and stayed late because there was so much response.” Local musician Bill Keale even donated nearly five hours of his time to play music for the event. The group at Oishi is already planning next year’s celebration — another day to say their thank-yous to the town that’s welcomed them with open arms. “We want to keep doing this every year,” said Tingakrau. “We want to keep giving back because people have been so gracious to us. They have been such a big support, giving us such good spirits since the day we opened.” “We’re so glad to be a part of this community,” added Thanittithanand. “It’s not how we expected it to be at all, but it’s even better.”
OKTOBERCREST AT EAGLE CREST RESORT: Saturday, Sept. 13, 11 a.m.-9 p.m.
A Toast to Oktobercrest! EAGLE CREST PUTS ON A SHOW FEATURING 12 BREWERIES. by Tara LaVelle, for The Bulletin Special Projects
For fans of all things fermented, there’s no such thing as too many beer festivals. From beer and wine, to cider and mead, Eagle Crest Resort will be celebrating “all things fermented” during its second annual Oktobercrest event Saturday, Sept. 13. In its second year, Oktobercrest will be held at the soccer fields just east of the main Eagle Crest Hotel. Activities will run from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Last year’s event attracted more than 1,000 people, according to Jack Newkirk, director of experiences for Eagle Crest Resort. “We have doubled the length of the event from last year and are looking to grow the event even further with the addition of local breweries and national breweries and a 5K Octobercrest beer run,” he said. Twelve different breweries will be on hand, including Redmond brewers Wild Ride and Cascade Lakes. Also from Redmond will be Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards. The 5K run is something not to be missed. It will start at 11 a.m. in the soccer field and will run along the west bank of the Deschutes River. Participants can register the day of the run or online at www.eagle-crest.com/oktobercrest.php. In true spirit of merriment and brew, at the end of the
5K, runners will be handed a full pint of beer before they try their best to navigate an obstacle course. If the glass has more than four ounces of beer at the end, the racer gets a prize, said Newkirk. Race registration is $25 and includes a commemorative pint glass and five drink tokens. For beer drinkers, mugs will be available for $10 each. Guests can buy tasting tokens for $1 each. Throughout the day the event will feature an assortment of free family friendly competitions open to most ages including log sawing, grain tossing, stein hoisting and free cycle pub rides. What’s a beer festival without live music? Three bands are lined up to perform throughout the event. Kicking off the sounds are The Shed Shakers, a bluegrass band from Hood River, from 1-3 p.m. The Boxcar Stringband will perform folk rock from 4-6 p.m., and Broken Down Guitars will play an eclectic mix of rock, blues and Americana from 7-9 p.m. “The most important component of this event is that it’s 100 percent a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity,” said Newkirk. The goal is to raise $10,000 for both Redmond
and Bend Habitat for Humanity. Almost 100 people have already signed up to volunteer for the event, said Newkirk. Volunteers should visit www.eagle-crest.com/oktobercrest.php for more information. For festival goers who find themselves a bit wobbly at the end of the night, the hotel is offering a discount package. Rates are $109 for the night, which includes two free beer mugs for the first two adults, and half-price mugs for each additional adult (ages 21 and older). Lodging can be reserved on the website or by calling 877-834-3613. Cheers!
Redmond Kiwanis Club Oktoberfest • Friday & Saturday, Sept. 26-27 • Wild Ride Brewing parking lot Still haven’t had enough tastes of local brews? The Kiwanis Club of Redmond will present its seventh annual Oktoberfest on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 26 and 27, in the Wild Ride Brewing parking lot (332 S.W. Fifth St.) in Redmond. Festivities will kick off Friday from 4-10 p.m., and continue through Saturday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Thirty beers from 15 different Central Oregon breweries will be on tap. Tasting tickets are
$1 for 4-ounce samples and $4 for a full pint. Food includes bratwursts, German potato salad and coleslaw. Home brewers are invited to enter their recipes for a brewers’ contest Saturday. Samples and a description of the beer need to be submitted by 1 p.m. Saturday. The entry fee is $10, and the first place winner will receive a plaque, along with a boost to his or her ego.
Recently from Michigan, the slender lined desk chair and ancient English carved oak chair have been recaned. The English chair seat frame had to be reconstructed with epoxy and screws as it had been converted from hand woven to machine woven cane. This means that over the holes already drilled through the chair frame a channel was routed removing half of the wood causing the frame to break. Now sturdy, all is well. Karen has hand woven the maple dining chair seat for many more years of comfortable service.

FESTIVAL OF CULTURES: Saturday, Sept. 13, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Centennial Park in Redmond
Celebrating Our Diversity
Courtesy Latino Community Association Photos courtesy Redmond Chamber of Commerce
Festival of Cultures in Redmond to showcase 15 nationalities at its September event. by Gregg Morris, for The Bulletin Special Projects
In the fall of 1825, Canadian explorer Peter Skene Ogden led a Hudson’s Bay fur trapping party into Central Oregon in search of pelts. Since then, immigrants of many nationalities have had a hand in shaping the region through working in the mill, farming the fields and even starting Mount Bachelor Ski Resort. In honor of the many different cultures that make up our community, the Latino Community Association is proud to present the eighth annual Festival of Cultures on Saturday, Sept. 13 in down-
town Redmond’s Centennial Park. Since 2007, the Festival of Cultures has dedicated itself “to (raising) awareness of Central Oregon’s cultural diversity and heritage and the value it brings to our community.” The festival began as a celebration of Latin American immigrants with more than 300 attendees in the Redmond Grange Hall. By the second year, the festival expanded to included all nationalities, and the festival quickly outgrew its location. By
6 Redmond Magazine | August • 2014
2010, the festival moved to its current Centennial Park location. This year, between 1,500 and 2,000 people representing 15 different cultures are expected to take part. Central Oregon residents with roots in Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Philippines, Thailand and Yemen are expected to attend. “We are really trying to represent as many of the cultures Central Oregon has as possible,” said Brad Porterfield, executive director of the Latino Com-
munity Association. You can expect to see a wide array of entertainment and cuisine from the cultures the festival seeks to celebrate. The Hawaiian dancers from the Hokule’a Ohana Central Oregon will be returning participants as will the Academie de Ballet Classique. Also showing off their traditional dance moves will be the High Desert Celtic Dancers. Music will fill the air, including a performance by flamenco guitarist Miguel de Alonso. In addition to the hot dogs, hamburgers and shaved ice that make up normal
festival fare, the Festival of Cultures is sure to have ethnic foods represented. Mexican, El Salvadoran and possibly Thai food will all be available for purchase. Booths representing participants’ cultures will be set up with information on their respective countries. They will share stories of their country and culture through maps, books, crafts and other traditional items. Back again this year will be the Passport Challenge. Each participant will receive a Festival of Cultures passport to have stamped by the various booths. Once they get them stamped, passport holders can pay $1 to enter a raffle and get a souvenir. “The Passport Challenge is a fun way to get people, especially kids, to learn about all of the different cultures,” explained Porterfield. In addition to the Passport Challenge, the festival will provide many activities for children. Bounce houses and castles will decorate the skyline, and a climbing wall will test the kids’ strength. Each booth and nonprofit was asked to bring a child activity, such as coloring or bean bag toss. Lastly, the Centennial Park location allows the kids to play in the Centennial Splash Park. Perhaps the most important feature of the Festival of Cultures is the Naturalization Oath Ceremony. At the oath ceremony, those wishing to become citizens will swear their allegiance to the U.S. and receive a naturalization certificate. The oath, as well as oral and written exams on U.S. history and government, are administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

personnel from Portland. This is the fifth year the ceremony has been offered in Redmond. Before 2010, the 20 or so mostly Central Oregonians would have to drive to Portland to take the oath. The ceremony will last between 30 and 45 minutes. Bookending the pledge will be speeches by Bob Eberhard of Eberhard’s Dairy Products and Redmond Mayor George Endicott. Eberhard will speak on his family’s immigration from Switzerland and their subsequent founding of Eberhard’s Dairy. Mayor Endicott will congratulate and welcome the new citizens. The Latino Community Association is a nonprofit organization that has helped Central Oregon Latinos, through the Festival of Cultures and other programs, since 2000. They have more than 125 volunteers working to provide tutoring in English, translating, computer training, and legal assistance. Meanwhile, their workforce empowerment programs help the unemployed find jobs. “We work to empower families to thrive,” said Porterfield. “Our goal is to provide opportunities for advancement to all Latinos who need it.” Last year alone, the organization directly assisted more than 1,900 people, while impacting more than 6,500 people including family members, friends and businesses.

Kollectible ... or Keepsake?
Assistance League fundraiser promises to be a one-of-a-kind experience. by Bridget McGinn, for The Bulletin Special Projects
It’s the kind of thing many people dream of: dusting off that collection of old baseball cards tucked away in the attic and finding out that they are actually worth a fortune. The discovery of a rare collection of 19th-century baseball memorabilia during a taping of the PBS “Antiques Roadshow” program recently made headlines across the country. The collection — valued at $1 million — is the largest sports memorabilia find in the show’s 19-year history. Central Oregon residents now have the opportunity to find out what their own family heirlooms and treasures are worth by consulting with well-known appraisers from across the country. The Assistance League of Bend will host the first annual Kollectible or Keepsake? appraisal event on Sunday, Sept. 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fundraising event will be held at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. The purchase of a $40 ticket will allow entry for one person and the ap-
praisal of one item. Seven well-known experts from across the country will be present at the event to provide verbal appraisals. “Bring something you’ve always been curious about, whether in terms of its value or the family history that has accompanied it,” said Colleene Fesko, a Boston-based fine art and antiques appraiser and broker who will be one of the panel experts at the event. Fesko, who has appeared on “Antiques Roadshow” since its inaugural season, has a few words of caution as well. “The dashing Stuart Whitehurst, who will be at the event as well, has often remarked that there were “no jeeps in the Civil War,” meaning of course that the reality of those oft-told family stories may not actually correspond to real time and place,” said Fesko. Fellow appraiser J. Michael Flanigan expects to be surprised at the event. Flanigan, an American antique dealer specializing in folk art and furniture, has appeared on
“Antiques Roadshow” since 1996 and has published extensively on the subject of antiques, their value and conservation, and the changing nature of collecting in America. “I have learned a long time ago to expect the unexpected when it comes to what people will bring,” said Flanigan. “I would expect pieces related to the lumber trade in Bend and possibly some Oregon Trail related material, but after that, I expect to be surprised. When people retire to a place they have not grown up in, then the pieces they bring can be from anywhere and that makes it interesting.” Panel member James Supp, who specializes in the appraisal of tools, scientific instruments and collectibles, has a similar enthusiastic outlook. “After doing these events for so long, I am constantly surprised at what kind of amazing things people bring in,” said Supp. “Everything from local antique bottles, to meteorites, it is always exciting. Every city is different, but

there are a few things that always seem to show up, such as vintage postcards, Disney and Coca-Cola items, and autographs. The thing is, within each of those categories, there is always something new to be discovered, so it never gets old.” “The best moments at these events come when the attendee has a few of the puzzle pieces, and I am able to fill in the blanks and a complete picture emerges,” said Flanigan. “If you bring in a lamp that you can’t quite figure out what it is but you know your grandfather got it from James J. Hill for completing the railroad bridge on time and it turns out to be by Tiffany, we will all be happy. If it turns out your sister threw out the shade and you only have the base, we will both cry and have a good story to tell.” The Kollectible or Keepsake? event is the first of its kind for Central Oregon and is already generating buzz with brisk ticket sales. “The community response has been good, and we are expecting around 1,000 people,” said Renee Windsor, chair of the event for the Assistance League of Bend. Windsor and her fellow Assistance League members learned about the idea for the event through a presentation by the Tucson chapter at a national Assis-
“Half of the fun of these events is being in line with other people who share your passion for antiques, and it is great to see what everyone else brought.” — James Supp, appraiser tance League meeting. They had hosted a similar fundraiser for a number of years, and the idea resonated for local representatives. With contact information for the appraisers provided by the Tucson chapter, the Kollectible or Keepsake? event for Central Oregon was born. Funds raised through the event will be used to support the philanthropic out-
reach efforts of the Assistance League. “Our biggest program is Operation School Bell,” said Windsor. “Last year, we provided new school clothes to 2,052 children in La Pine, Bend and Redmond. We will begin dressing children in September, and we hope to dress more children than last year.” The Assistance League also provides hats sewn or knitted by members to cancer patients, homeless and at-risk preschool children. Last year, they distributed more than 2,000 hats to community members in need. The group offers cooking classes to elementary school children to emphasize good nutrition, manners and kitchen safety, and offers gift certificates to Marshall High School students with good attendance records. While an event of this type is new to the region, the appraisers on the panel are very experienced and have a few suggestions for attendees to help make the event enjoyable. “Half of the fun of these events is being in line with other people who share your passion for antiques, and it is great to see what everyone else brought,” said Supp. “Talk to the people around you, and remember, they are there to show off what they have just as much as you.”

VETERANS DAY PARADE: Tuesday, Nov. 11 • 11 a.m. • Downtown Redmond
A SEA OF OLD GLORY by Jeff McDonald, for The Bulletin Special Projects
Nothing will deter Redmond’s veterans from marching in the Veterans Day parade Tuesday, Nov. 11 — not rain, wind or snow. Unlike most parades in Redmond, which start at 10 a.m., this parade will start at 11 a.m., marking Redmond’s part in the global Armistice Day celebration. Downtown Redmond will be adorned in a sea of Old Glory with hundreds of flags flying down Fifth and Sixth streets and several streets surrounding the downtown district. The hallowed day will bring out five branches of the military and the Merchant Marines carrying a sixth flag that will march behind a Vietnam War commemoration flag, said Larry Roshak, commander for the Redmond branch of the American Legion. “Our biggest thing is we try and get as many members from our post as we can,” Roshak said. “We lead off with the flag presentation. Behind the Veterans of Foreign Wars flag, we have the POW and state flag and behind that there is the Vietnam commemoration banner that we fly. Behind that, we carry all six of our veterans flags.” The parade will honor veterans of all stripes. Both current members of the American Legion, who served in vari-
Redmond’s Veterans Day Parade is a salute to all who have served
ous capacities outside of combat zones, and Veterans of Foreign Wars will be represented in the parade, Roshak said. “Any veteran that shows up down there marches with us whether they carry a flag or not,” he said. One area Roshak would like to see improved is the flag etiquette displayed by parade attendees, particularly adults, who sometimes do not follow the correct protocol when the red, white and blue passes by, he said. First, anyone attending the parade should stand up when the American flag comes by. If someone is a veteran, they have the right to do a salute, Roshak said. If not, they should take their hats off and put their hands over their hearts. “Many people, especially adults in their 20s, 30s and 40s, just don’t know the etiquette,” he said. Both the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars raise support for veterans and increase participation among veterans who have recently served in conflict zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, said Jack Newcomb, VFW commander for the Redmond post. For people who watch the parade, this is an opportunity to celebrate the service of veterans. For veterans themselves, the parade honors the contributions they have made overseas.
“People who line the parade route don’t care where you fought,” he said. “They want to say thank you. That means a lot to us.” Redmond’s parade, which starts at Sixth Street and Dogwood Avenue and ends at Sixth and Forest Avenue, also will feature a mix of both Ridgeview and Redmond high school marching bands, plenty of colorful floats and classic cars joining in the Veterans Day celebration, Newcomb said.

Donora Winters puts her love of color, creativity and community into Redmond Window Treats by Bill Mintiens, for The Bulletin Special Projects / photos by Kevin Prieto
Fifth-generation Oregonian Donora Winters is passionate about several things. First is her family. Married to Jeffrey Winters, a deputy sheriff with Deschutes County Search & Rescue, for almost 31 years, the couple has three grown children ranging in age from 26 to 30 and two grandchildren. Second is Redmond, the community where she’s raised her family for the past 19 years. “Redmond is a beautiful town,” said Winters. “You really can’t find anything better than what we’ve got right here. We get to live in a piece of America that is unlike any other place. I feel very blessed to live where I am.” And third is her passion for interior design and helping people add value to both their homes and their lives. “I love color and texture,” said Winters. “I love different design styles. I love stepping out of my world and into someone else’s so that I can help them create their own sanctuary.” The Winters purchased Redmond Window Treats from longtime owners Barb and Duane Weishaar in the fall of 2013. Located at 721 S.W. 10th St. in Redmond for over 20 years, the Weishaars’ business garnered a loyal 12 Redmond Magazine | August • 2014
clientele throughout Central Oregon. With more than 19 years in interior design, 14 of those years working for Rosie Johnston, owner of Interior Designs, formerly based in Redmond, Winters was faced with a tough decision at a crossroads in her career before the business sale was made. “Two years ago, Rosie moved Interior Designs to NorthWest Crossing in Bend,” said Winters. “I loved working with Rosie but, unfortunately, health issues forced her into quick, unplanned retirement during the early part of 2013. I was in a situation where I either had to start my own company or start a new career. So I chose
to start my own company.” By May of 2013, Winters founded Design Company NW and did business under the name Interior Ideas NW. Continuing to operate out of the former company’s NorthWest Crossing leased space, Winters found starting her own company very challenging. “It was one of the most difficult things that I’ve ever done because I had to pick up the pieces from Rosie’s company and move forward. It was exhausting,” said Winters. Adding to the challenge was Winters’ daily commute from her home in Redmond where she found peace from the pressures of her new venture. “I love Bend, but the daily commute, combined with my desire to live, work and invest my energies in the community of Redmond, got me to seriously think about moving the business back to Redmond,” said Winters. Having been an employee, and now an employer, Winters wanted to be sure that her business provided a good work/life balance for her and her two employees. Shelley Kolkman and Rosemary Miller joined Winters in the new venture. “One of the things I loved about Rosie (Johnston) was that she worked very hard at her business, and she made
time for her family. I’m trying to do the same thing with my business,” said Winters. “Our goal when we started was to be in pursuit of a happy life. I love Shelley (Kolkman) and Rosemary (Miller) dearly. As an employer and co-worker, I want to try to give them what they deserve.” Winters also knew that Duane Weishaar had been trying to sell Redmond Window Treats for some time. So one day during the late summer of 2013, she stopped into the store, introduced herself and told Duane that she was interested in buying his business. By September 2013, they worked out a deal that transferred ownership to Winters. Settling into her new digs, Winters appreciated the warmth and ambiance of the existing Redmond Window Treats building which, like many small businesses in Redmond, was previously a home. But Winters felt the building, which was 93 years old, needed updating. “We remodeled the building to make it even homier for customers and to make it fit our working style,” she said. Winters is quick to point out that one of the big differences between her business and the big box stores is ambiance and customer service.

“I love stepping out of my world and into someone else’s so that I can help them create their own sanctuary.” — Donora Winters “It’s all about customer service. When a customer walks in the door here they are going to be helped immediately. We’re going to hold their hand throughout the whole process, regardless of what or how much they buy,” said Winters. Throughout the renovation of the Redmond store, Winters continued to operate the design center in Bend into the spring of this year, finally transferring and melding that business with the Redmond operation. Winters’ operation in Redmond is really made up of two separate businesses that work together to meet the interior design needs of customers — Redmond Window Treats on Southwest 10th Street
and, right out their back door on Southwest 11th Street, Interior Ideas Northwest as the company’s design center. Redmond Window Treats is where major suppliers’ window treatment products such as Hunter Douglas, Graber, Norman and other brands are all displayed. The Interior Ideas Northwest design center is where the magic happens. Before construction on a new home, or before a renovation takes place, customers can bring their blueprints and housing plans into the center and have a complete interior design plan created — wall paint to window coverings to tile and more. While in some ways Winters sees value in combining the two buildings into
one, she has a long-term perspective on both businesses. “The two businesses are still independent but work together of course, and I’m not sure if we’ll ever merge them into one building,” said Winters. “Redmond Window Treats is a business that I see my husband and I working together on once he retires, and maybe even getting our children involved.” Winters believes in client relationships, assessing their lifestyles, needs and desires before recommending interior design ideas or products. Longtime client Kay Scott has seen first-hand Winters’ approach to working with customers. “She has a real good relationship with her clients, works very hard to come up with ideas that are in line with what the clients want,” Scott said. “She’s a very hard worker, perhaps too much so.” With the economy in Central Oregon slowly improving, it would be easy to assume that business growth is foremost on Winters’ mind. Wrong assumption. “We’ve had steady business since opening. My goal is not to grow so big that we lose sight about who we are,” said Winters.

PUMPKIN PATCHES: Smith Rock Ranch & DD Ranch near Terrebonne
Tis the Season for Corn Maizes & Pumpkins! by Sondra Holtzman, for The Bulletin Special Projects
As late summer transitions into fall and the weather begins to cool, thoughts turn to colorful leaves, harvest celebrations, freshly baked apple pie and of course the pumpkin. With these two pumpkin patches in Terrebonne, there is no shortage of fall fun and excitement for kids of all ages.
Smith Rock Ranch
At Smith Rock Ranch, pumpkins are king. Ever since its origin in 2001, this Central Oregon icon of all things fall has grown in popularity over the years, not only for its U-pick pumpkin patch but for other activities as well. The ever-popular corn maze, which boasts a different theme each year, will feature “Godzilla” when the ranch opens its doors Sept. 27. Check out the petting zoo, horse-drawn wagon rides, archery, train and pony rides for a plethora of family fun, in addition to live music on most weekends in October. “This place has become a fall tradition for families,” said owner Matt Lisignoli. “I’ve heard comments that the ranch reminds people of what the county fair used to be — simple and family friendly.”
Don’t forget to check out the pumpkin cannons! With targets like old abandoned cars and other yearly surprises, this is something you won’t want to miss. Where: 1250 N.E. Wilcox Ave., Terrebonne Hours: Sept. 27-Nov. 1; noon-6 p.m. Fridays; 10 a.m.6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays Cost: $2.50 per token; tokens are required to enjoy the rides More info: www.pumpkinco.com

pony rides, a Kids Korral on Saturday, hay maze and petting zoo are all available for family fun. All profits from activities and sales that day benefit the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon. “The fun is endless at DD Ranch,” said activities director Toni Rich. ”You can dig your own potatoes, harvest your own corn or zucchini, and of course, visit the pumpkin patch, which has an endless array of various shaped and sized pumpkins.” On Saturdays and Sundays during the month of October, kids can enjoy the clubhouse, ride the DD Dirt Express, explore the hay maze and much more for a nominal charge.

DOWNTOWN HALLOWEEN: Friday, Oct. 31 • 4-6 p.m. • Downtown Redmond
Costumes, Candy & Community on Sixth Street by Kelsi Shelton, for The Bulletin Special Projects
Every fall, enticing fliers are sprinkled throughout schools to promote downtown Redmond’s Sixth Street trick-or-treating event. But this ever-growing family friendly Halloween event from 4-6 p.m. hardly needs to be promoted. With thousands of kids and families attending each year, it is largely a tradition that speaks for itself. “Businesses are so welcoming, and it’s a safe area and environment for families to take their kids,” said Karen Sande, Redmond Chamber of Commerce Events Director. And it’s not just the kids who get dressed up and have fun. “Adults get really involved with matching outfits and themes. One family dressed up as the entire ‘Wizard of Oz’ cast,” Sande recalled. “We are anticipating a lot of ‘Frozen’ costumes this year.” The costume extravaganza doesn’t stop with humans either. Families bring their furry family members to join in on the fun as well.
“One lady will bring her miniature ponies, all wearing tutus,” Sande said. “Kids get to pet them, and it’s so much fun.” The 25 businesses that participate adorn their windows with a pumpkin, which indicates their involvement. In addition to passing out treats, these businesses also participate in the third annual scarecrow fundraising contest put on by Cynthia Claridge of Paulina Springs Books. With all of the proceeds going toward the top two nonprofits, each participating business selects a nonprofit of their choosing. They then get creative and dress up a scarecrow outside of their businesses. Throughout the entire month of October, individuals can purchase tickets at any of the participating businesses, and then cast their vote by placing their tickets in their favorite scarecrow’s bucket. “Some people like to purchase 25 tickets and vote for every scarecrow,” Claridge said. In the past, businesses have taken a lot of creative license. The Association of University Women dressed their scarecrow up as a suffragette, and Tie Dye, a local
beauty supply store, dressed theirs up with makeup and coiffed hair. “It’s so fun for families to walk around downtown and see all of the different scarecrow costumes,” Claridge said. Once Halloween has come and gone and votes have been cast, the winning scarecrow is announced. Each participating business also chips in $25, and the top two scarecrow winners split this pooled money, along with the total amount raised from the tickets. “Hopefully this year will bring even more attention and citizens to downtown Redmond,” Cynthia added. But the family fun doesn’t stop on Sixth Street. The fire department’s main station off Dogwood Avenue is going on their 10th year of offering fire engine rides and an educational, Halloween-themed event complete with different games incorporating a safety topic. Running from 4-8:30 p.m., this event is in partnership with the local Key Club, ROTC and Sparrow Clubs. And don’t miss the Redmond police station’s Halloween festivities on Seventh Street.

Treating Women through Each Stage of Life St. Charles Center for Women’s Health in Redmond opens its doors to families Submitted by St. Charles Redmond
Drive down Northwest Fifth Street in Redmond, and you might see a spacious new health center. The St. Charles Center for Women’s Health opened in early August (340 N.W. Fifth St., Redmond). With 14 exam rooms, including two procedure rooms, and four OB/GYNs, one nurse practitioner and the only certified nurse midwife in Central Oregon, it’s a welcome addition to the city. “The space speaks for itself in terms of the aesthetics, but what’s more important is the services that we aim to provide,” said Dr. Natalie Hoshaw. The center plans to bring in visiting specialists to consult in gynecologic oncology, sexual dysfunction and alternative medicine, including acupuncture. Dr. Barbara Newman, medical director for the Center for Women’s Health and the visionary behind the project, agreed that bringing in specialists and expanding staffing are the next priorities for the facility. The plan is to add more nurse practitioners, a menopausal specialist, a sexual health specialist and lactation services in the coming months. 16 Redmond Magazine | August • 2014
“We are centrally located in Central Oregon and hope that all women feel comfortable visiting us for their care, for educational events and for specialist consultations when needed,” Newman said. Nicole Barbier, a second-time mom, was recently in for an appointment to check the progress of her pregnancy with Hoshaw at the Center for Women’s Health. Barbier said visiting the new health clinic was a calm and inviting experience — especially when compared with the former location of St. Charles OB/GYN in Redmond. “It’s much more spacious here and feels more professional,” said Barbier, who owns a Redmond restaurant with her husband. “Having this type of health care available makes me feel better about living here and raising a family here.” The public is invited to attend a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting at the Center for Women’s Health from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 18. After the grand opening on Thursday, Newman said she plans to start offering community educational events at the center on a variety of women’s health topics. “We are looking forward to being here to serve our communities for many years to come,” said Newman.
Redmond Mayor Earns Leadership Award One of 3 mayors to be honored, Endicott thanked city staff & residents Submitted by City of Redmond
Redmond Mayor George Endicott received a Mayor’s Leadership Award during the closing banquet of the Oregon Mayors Association (OMA) Summer Conference on Aug. 9 in Pendleton. Endicott was one of three mayors statewide to receive this year’s award. “Receiving the 2014 Oregon Mayors Association Mayors Leadership Award is both rewarding and humbling,” said Endicott. “‘Rewarding’ because to be recognized by one’s peers as a respected leader in Oregon is an ultimate acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication I’ve given to Redmond, the region and the state. ‘Humbling’ because I think there are mayors more deserving of this award than I. I hope it is obvious that this recognition belongs to many people: the City Council, the city staff, and those people who put their trust in me to represent Redmond as your mayor. I look forward to continuing to serve you in the future.” Serving his sixth year as mayor of Redmond, Endicott’s level of involvement — locally, regionally and statewide — is impressive. In his community, Endicott established the Red-

mond Development Commission as well as the Mayor’s Youth Initiative, allowing students to participate on city commissions and committees. He chairs both the city’s Urban Renewal Agency Board and the Contract Review Board and is a member of the Redmond Executive Association. He assisted in the passage of the $93 million Downtown Urban Renewal Plan Amendment, a $40 million
expansion of the airport, and the successful transformation of Southwest Fifth and Southwest Sixth streets after the U.S. Highway 97 reroute. He makes regular monthly radio addresses and is frequently interviewed by the media regarding local issues. Regionally, Endicott chairs the Central Oregon Cities Organization (COCO) and serves on the Central Oregon Advisory Council on Transportation and the Deschutes Water Alliance. At the statewide level, he was appointed by the governor to the Resilience Task Force and serves on the Local Officials Advisory Committee to the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC). He frequently visits his state senators and representatives to discuss local issues as well as issues affecting Oregon cities, and he is a spokesman for the League of Oregon Cities’ “speakers’ bureau” on property tax reform. City staff recalled that Endicott “was the guiding strength for staff during the recession. He gave oversight of drastic budget cuts while giving total support to staff and displaying pride for the community.”

REDMOND CITY NEWS By City of Redmond
Public invited to Brownfield Redevelopment Project open house What is a brownfield? Brownfields are properties where previous uses such as former gasoline stations, dry cleaners and industrial operations may have left behind contaminants. Redeveloping these sites often requires environmental assessments and regulatory review. To help property owners navigate these processes and access resources that can help pay for the assessments and reviews, the county secured a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide environmental site assessments for eligible properties and give technical assistance to property owners, citizens, businesses and other stakeholders. The Brownfield Area Wide Planning (BFAWP) program will help develop public visioning, market analysis and an implementation strategy for the northern end of the city center urban renewal area. From 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, at the Redmond City Hall (716 S.W. Evergreen Ave.) in Conference Room A, residents are invited to learn about Deschutes County and the city of
Redmond’s efforts to promote brownfield redevelopment. Property owners, citizens and developers will learn a lot from this meeting. Speakers will include representatives from Deschutes County, city of Redmond and their consulting teams. For more information, contact Peter Gutowsky, Deschutes County Principal Planner, at 541385-1709 or peter.gutowsky@deschutes.org.
What’s This Gonna Be?
Volunteers needed to help improve bike and walking in Redmond The city of Redmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee will be conducting the first ever bicycle and pedestrian counts to establish a baseline for the number of bicycle and pedestrian users we have in the community and to help build support for future improvements.

REDMOND CHAMBER DINNER, DANCE & AUCTION: Friday, Oct. 24 • 6 p.m. • Expo Center
‘Spooktacular’ Fun!
Get your Halloween costumes ready for this annual Chamber event The public is invited to join the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB for an evening of costumed Halloween fun and community celebration during its annual Dinner, Dance & Auction on Friday, Oct. 24 at 6 p.m. in the South Sister building at the Deschutes Fair & Expo Center. Now in its 29th year, this theme-based event is held annually as a fundraiser for the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. Long called Redmond’s social event of the year, the Redmond Chamber Dinner, Dance & Auction is scheduled for October this year – one month later than its traditional September date – making the Halloween theme the perfect choice, said Redmond Chamber Events Director Karen Sande. “When we decided to move this annual event back to late October, we knew right away that we wanted to inject some Halloween flair into the evening,” Sande said. “We encourage everyone who attends to dress in costume and to come ready to eat, drink, mingle and have tons of fun.”
The evening will include a themed dinner, beverages, music, dancing, and silent and live auctions. Halloween-themed activities will also take place during the evening, including a costume contest for all who opt to dress up for the occasion. “I can’t wait to see what our chamber and community members have in store for us when it comes to costumes,” Sande said. “We considered narrowing down a theme for costumes, but people can be so creative during Halloween that we didn’t want to discourage their creativity.” Tickets for the event will be sold at per-person and corporate rates. (Ticket prices have yet to be determined.) Corporate seating typically includes a table of eight, advertising at the event and a special gift. The Chamber Dinner, Dance & Auction is open to the public. “As a fundraiser, the Dinner, Dance & Auction obviously serves a greater purpose for us here at the Red-
mond Chamber,” said Executive Director Eric Sande. “That said, our top goal each year is to make sure the event lives up to its billing as this community’s social event of the year. That means making sure all who attend leave having had a great time and a wonderful evening.” To learn more about the Redmond Chamber of Commerce Dinner, Dance & Auction, including ticket prices, visit www.visitredmondoregon.com or call the Redmond Chamber of Commerce at 541-923-5191.
