The wine industry in Central Oregon may be in its nascent stages, but don’t tell that to the folks in northern Deschutes and southern Jefferson counties who have planted grape vines that are thriving in this ! ckle climate.

They are farmers, ranchers and entrepreneurs, and their conversations are sprinkled with terroir, viticulture, varietals, and microclimates.

The mentor and rallying force behind this movement is Kerry Damon, manager at Monkey Face Vineyard located at Ranch at the Canyons, adjacent to Smith Rock State Park.

Damon spent 13 years in the California wine industry as a vintner before coming to Monkey Face in 2005. His enthusiasm led him to spearhead an organiza-tion called Winegrowers Associa-tion of Central Oregon (WACO) — pronounced “wacko.”

“We ! gured you’ve gotta be a little wacko to get into this in the ! rst place,” the affable Damon

said. “When we had our ! rst meeting in 2007, landowners and ranchers showed up, and they wanted to know their options. A few took that risk, and now we’ve had commercial successes. That’s encouraging.”

The initial start-up cost in creating a vineyard is high, often quoted to be $25,000 per acre. If the vines do well, grapes can be harvested in three to ! ve years and yield $2,500 to $3,000 per acre.

Compared to an average of $1,000 per acre for hay, it can be worth the investment over time. But, going from hay farmer to grape farmer is a big stretch.

To help understand this new endeavor, Damon aligned WACO with OSU’s Viticulture and Enol-ogy department to provide expert advice, soil testing and education-al information to the existing and potential growers in this area.

Central Oregon has a short growing period. While grapes are cold hardy, they can only re-sist freeze during their dormant period. To combat this short grow-

ing period and cold spring and fall weather, hybrids have been developed through university breeding programs.

Several varietals are proving to be hearty enough for our cli-mate, producing grapes suitable for red wine, white wine, dessert wine and sparkling wine.

Monkey Face Vineyard sells most of its grapes to Faith, Hope

& Charity, a 312-acre farm off Lower Bridge Road

Though in its infant stages, a wine movement is growing just north of Redmond.Vino de Redmond!

just west of the Deschutes River and owned by Cindy and Roger Grossman.

The Grossmans planted 15 acres of grape vines in 2010. These vines will be harvestable in 2013. They purchased the 2010 harvest from Monkey Face and began producing wine under their own vineyard name through a custom crush facility in Medford.

“We produced just fewer than 500 cases from that harvest, and we’ve sold out of almost all of it,” said Cindy Grossman. “We’ll have over 600 cases from the 2011 harvest, and it includes two whites along with our Marechal Foch red.”

The Maragas family has been grow-ing grapes and making wines for gen-erations.

Doug Maragas started Maragas Winery in 1999 using grapes sourced from Oregon and Northern California. His wines, including Swinging Zin, Po-etic Pinot and their signature, Kool Kat Muscat, were well-received at their tast-ing room near the Old Mill District in Bend, which is now closed.

In 2004, Maragas purchased 40 acres in Jefferson County, not far from Monkey Face Vineyard. He planted 40 grape varietals on two and a half acres, including German and northern France varietals.

“Our wines have received a lot of local support, and they won medals in the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, either besting or ty-ing every Paci! c Northwest wine en-tered,” Maragas said. “In fact, our Cen-tral Oregon Tootsie, that’s made solely with Central Oregon grapes, received a silver medal.”

These successes inspired another couple, Doug and Betty Dunn, to plant seven acres of grape vines on a south-facing slope on their ranch on Lower Bridge Road. They plan to expand to 15 acres in a couple of years, which will qualify them under ORS 215-452 to have a winery that is associated with a vineyard on agricultural land.

Several of the Dunn’s six children have retired and moved back to this area. They are taking a step-by-step ap-proach and are hoping to make this a family business someday.

“I’m optimistic about the future,” Doug Dunn said. “I think there will be a lot of wines made here in Central Or-egon and a lot of vineyards, but it’s too early to predict whether we’ll become another Walla Walla or Umpqua wine region.”

Emma Farnsworth, co-owner of 750 Wine Bar and Bistro in Redmond, sells Maragas wines by the bottle and plans to carry Faith, Hope and Charity wines as soon as this year’s production is available.

“Most of our customers are local, and they are all very excited about lo-cal wines made with local grapes,” she said.

Growing the wine industry in Cen-tral Oregon can have a positive effect on the economy by bringing job opportu-nities to our area. Central Oregon is an

area that’s steeped in tourism and ripe for drawing tourists to a wine region as a destination.

It may be yet a dream, but then again, this area was founded by peo-ple willing to take a risk and follow a dream. Stay tuned. This is a develop-ment that’s just beginning to unfold, and you don’t want to miss it.

“I think there will be a lot of wines made here in Central Oregon and a lot of vineyards, but it’s too early to predict whether we’ll become another Walla Walla or Umpqua wine region.”

Now in its fourth year, the Di-ego’s Spring Fling Car show has be-come a standard after-winter event in downtown Redmond. The fam-ily friendly outing will be held Sat-urday, April 21, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Diego’s Spirited Kitchen, located at 447 SW 6th Street, which special-izes in Mexican cuisine, opened in January 2009. In March of the same year, they received a letter from the City of Redmond letting them know Sixth Street, between Deschutes and Forest Avenues, which provided parking and access for the restau-rant and multiple other businesses, would be closed May through July for redevelopment now that the by-pass was complete.

To entice people downtown to see what businesses and services were in the area, the idea for the car show was created. The show would be in April, just 20 days after they heard about the closure. The Crook County Rodders were called, and 43 cars entered the car show the ! rst year. Not only were the entrants in-troduced to the restaurant, but 100 attendees were able to look at clas-sic cars and visit other businesses along Sixth Street.

Pablo Pena and Juvenal San-tana, co-owners of Diego’s. under-wrote the ! rst event and continue to do so.

“We wanted to help each other’s business by bringing people down-town,” Pena said. “We’re all a part of making the community successful.”

The second year, 84 cars entered, with 113 cars last year. This year’s event has room for 150 cars, and they hope to ! ll every parking spot. The car show has grown to include 32 different categories, including

stock and custom cars and trucks, with cars ranging from the 1920s to today. This year, the motorcycle cat-egory was added.

Ghost judges (it isn’t obvious who the judges are) award ! rst and second place for all categories. Celebrity judges award best paint, best engine, best interior and best of show.

Sponsored by Eberhard’s Dairy and Sonic Drive-In, the show will also offer food by Diego’s, raf" e prizes and a few surprises. Raf" e prizes, worth thousands of dollars, include hotel stays, restaurant gift certi! cates, golf package and much more. All proceeds from the raf" e will bene! t Redmond Habitat for Humanity.

“The Car Show isn’t about mak-ing money, it’s about creating com-munity,” said Pena.

The Diego’s Spring Fling Car show isn’t the only reason to head downtown Saturday. Merchants will be hosting a scavenger hunt, with $100 in cash awarded to the winner.

Spring Fling4TH ANNUAL DIEGO’S

CAR SHOW

by Bridget McGinn, for The Bulletin Special Projects

For 50 years the Redmond Fish Fair has been a fun, free activity for children in the community. Originally started by the Lions Club, 30 years ago the Redmond Volunteer Fire Department Association took on the event and they’ve been hosting it every year since at Fireman’s Pond on the corner of SW Lake Court and SW Lake Road in Redmond.

The 2012 Redmond Volunteer Fire! ght-er’s Annual Fish Fair will be held on Satur-day, May 19 from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fishing is free for children age 13 and under, and for people with disabilities.

A limited supply of ! shing gear includ-ing rods, reels and other supplies will be available for use throughout the day, and volunteers are on hand to help even a ! rst-time ! sherman get started. A free hot dog lunch is also served up starting around 11:30 a.m.

“Everyone has a great attitude at this event,” said Cory Erickson, a volunteer ! re! ghter and co-coordinator of the event. “People have fun and help each other out.”

The event is sponsored by the Redmond Kiwanis, Quality Heating, American Fami-ly Insurance and other local businesses who donate time, money and prizes to the event. Prizes for the largest ! sh are awarded to the top three in three age divisions, with win-ners going home with a plaque.

Each year the event seems to grow, with hundreds of children and families showing up to try their hand at catching one of the

1,000-plus ! sh the pond is stocked with in the week prior to the event.

“There have been a few [! sh] over 20 inches,” said Erickson. “There are some very good catches in there. And every year we have kids come to the event and catch their ! rst ! sh ever.”

Offering this sort of opportunity to the children and families of Redmond is what the event is all about.

“The event is really a way for kids to just have fun and be outside,” said Erick-son. “And it is also a way for the volunteer ! re! ghters to give back to our community and provide a service for the kids.”

Registration is not required for the event, and everyone is welcome to attend and be part of the fun. For more infor-mation, to donate or to become a spon-sor of the event, contact Cory Erickson at 541-316-3022 or [email protected] or Jade Ames at 541-604-6960 or [email protected].

Keynote Speaker & Luncheon:

Health care in our country is in a state of ! ux. At the national level, Congress continues to wrangle over the Affordable Care Act, a sweeping piece of legislation that aims to extend health coverage to more Americans and curb abuses in the insurance industry.

The state of Oregon is grappling with a revenue shortfall, which means cuts to provider reimbursements and reduc-tions in state-funded health services. It’s clear to St. Charles and other health systems around the country that the indus-try is poised to fundamentally change. The path we’re on is unsustainable.

Jim Diegel, President and CEO of St. Charles Health System, will discuss the current state of the health care industry and St. Charles’ efforts to reform the system at the local level through a coordinated care model.

Children’s Art Walk: Friday, April 20, 4-8 p.m. | Downtown Redmond

by Gregg Morris, for The Bulletin Special Projects

For the past 14 years, Redmond Chamber of Commerce has hosted a Children’s Art Walk in Downtown Redmond. Setting aside April as the kids’ month, this year’s event will take place Friday, April 20 from 4 to 8 p.m. throughout downtown Red-mond.

“This is a great family event. It lets the children use their minds,” says Karen Sande, events director for the Redmond Chamber of Com-merce. “The kids get so excited to bring their families out to show them their artwork.”

Most of Redmond School Dis-trict’s classes were encouraged to participate using all media of art. Classrooms are assigned a business to display their collaborative art-work.

Homeschooled kids were also asked to submit their drawings, paintings, jewelry or pottery.

“The event encourages art ex-ploration by students of all ages and promotes the concept of work-ing together as a group to produce a unique and meaningful expression of the chosen theme,” says Sande.

This year’s theme is, “What Red-

mond Means to Me.”The free event will feature close

to 20 participating businesses dis-playing the artwork. Some stores will also have appetizers for your enjoyment and music for your lis-tening pleasure.

The Green Plow Coffee Roasters, for instance, will have a local, youth

jazz band playing alongside the art.February’s non-speci! c Art Walk

drew several hundred “walkers” to downtown Redmond. Each Art Walk not only showcases the art-ist and their art, but the downtown businesses as well.

This year’s Children’s Art Walk

will coincide with the, “Chair-ity for Children” project. Twenty-three chairs were designed and painted by professional local artists, student artists, and local clubwomen.

The chairs are displayed and up for bidding at participating Red-mond businesses.

Each business agrees to spon-sor the chairs with an opening bid of $50. In the past, nearly all of the chairs were purchased for more than $50. They are looking to beat their previous high bid of $350.

Proceeds from the event will bene! t the Sparrow Club of Central Oregon. Over the last seven years, $12,000 has been donated.

The sponsor for the past seven years is the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Central Oregon. According to their mission state-ment, “the GFWC is an internation-al women’s organization dedicated to community improvement by en-hancing the lives of others through volunteer service.”

Whether you are interested in supporting local businesses, check-ing out some wonderful children’s artwork, or want to bid on a one-of-a-kind, locally designed and paint-ed chair, Downtown Redmond is the place to be on Friday, April 20.

Student artists will feature their creations at this spring’s Redmond Art Walk.

Kurt Noonan wants people to see more than chal-lenging fairways and manicured putting greens when they look around Juniper Golf Course in Redmond.

He wants them to see habitat that attracts kestrels, Western bluebirds, screech owls and red-tailed hawks. He wants them to see native landscapes of bunch grass, scrub and Junipers that provide food and shelter for the critters that call the out-of-play areas home. He wants people to see — and understand -— that an exceptional golf course can coexist with the natural environment.

Noonan, who has been the course superintendent for just over a year, has been working hard to implement the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses since he arrived.

So far, he’s accomplished ! ve of the six elements re-quired to be certi! ed by the program, which is designed to enhance the open spaces and wildlife habitats that golf courses provide and to minimize the potentially harm-ful impacts of golf operations.

“We’re making a concerted effort to create an envi-ronment that is safe and welcoming for golfers and wild-life,” said Noonan.

So far, Noonan has done an environmental assess-ment and developed an environmental plan. This data is guiding his efforts to complete the other initiatives that will lead to certi! cation, including reducing chemi-cal use, practicing water conservation and water quality management, and managing the property to enhance wildlife and habitat.

For example, Noonan has already taken several acres out of play. This means he is letting areas that are not part of the playing course return to their native condition which, in turn, provides more shelter and food for birds

and animals and reduces demand for water.He is actively pursuing a re-vegetation program and

replanting native grasses. He is also working with the East Cascades Audubon

Society to better understand what certain birds need for habitat and has already installed several nesting boxes for kestrels, screech owls and Western bluebirds, of which several were apparent when touring the course in late March.

“Golf courses are a naturally perfect environment for birds,” Noonan said. “There is water, trees with cavities and plenty of food.”

He recently installed a nesting box for owls near the railroad tracks that border the course. The thought is that the owls prefer this location because of the ready supply of food as the vibrations from the trains on the tracks draw out their prey (e.g., voles and mice).

He has also reduced the number of sprinklers in use to conserve water and plans on taking even more out of production this year.

In addition, he plans to use a carbon-based fertilizing system as a way to reduce the need for granular fertilizer.

“My goal is to give the golfer a product that they want to play,” said Noonan. “That means great turf. But at the same time, I’m reducing all the inputs I can. This makes for a healthier environment and saves money. So far, we’re ! nding the right balance.”

Now that the ! ve building block pieces are in place, Noonan is ready to move on to the ! nal criteria of the certi! cation: outreach and education. He realizes his ! rst and perhaps most important audience is made up of the golfers who enjoy Juniper.

“The areas surrounding the greens are really very complex environments,” said Noonan. “I want to edu-cate the people who come here about the birds and plants species that also live here. I want them to understand how the ecosystem works.”

To that end, he is installing signage around the course to help golfers identify the different birds and plants around them; he has developed a walking trail along several of the holes that will serve as “demonstration” ar-eas; and he is installing a display case on the No. 4 hole that will provide more in-depth information about the project and the wildlife and habitat.

He is also reaching out to area schools in hopes that teachers will take advantage of using the project to edu-cate students about wildlife, habitat and environmental initiatives that can make a difference.

“This is the part I’m most excited about,” said Noonan.He’s expecting his ! rst tours in late May and is plan-

ning a program that covers recycling water, a science ac-tivity, a talk about the wildlife and habitats on the course, and a distant peek at the nesting boxes.

“I’m hoping to change how people think of golf courses,” Noonan said. “And I’m hoping to help them see the complex environment around them.”

Golf course superintendent, Kurt Noonan, wants Juniper Golf Course to demonstrate to both Redmond and the golf community that exceptional golf can coexist with the natural

environment.

The BlvdLocated in downtown Redmond on 6th Street and Evergreen, The Blvd is the one stop, hot affordable fashion store. Locally owned and operated by owners Katie and Matt Schulz, they believe shopping locally is key to keeping Central Oregon alive. They are currently in the process of moving their Bend location right next to the Deschutes Brewery & Public House. The Blvd is well known for their jewel and rhinestone embellished women’s jeans. The guys are covered too, with many slick shirts and pants for a night out on the town. They receive new inventory each week so shelves are always stocked with new styles. The Blvd always has great prices; it’s almost like shopping a sale on every visit. Be sure to check them out online at www.theblvdfashion.com.

The Bakery StopWith the closure of a local grocery store in 2007, Redmond also lost an independent bakery housed inside. Luckily, The Bakery Stop, located just west of Fred Meyer, is now serving Redmond, and dedicating itself to fresh baked goods and pastries. Owner Corrie Arthur opened her doors November 10th, 2011. She’s earned recogni-tion in town by offering samples of her creations at local events like coffee clatters, VFW meetings and donations to local food banks. Specialties include donuts, breads, catering and special order pies. You can even ! nd gluten free options. The best selec-tion goes quickly so drop by early. Pick up your next sweet treat at The Bakery Stop. Open between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 974 SW Veterans Way, Ste. 6, here in Redmond.

FARMER’S MARKETS: Tuesdays throughout the Summer | Downtown Redmond & Eagle Crest

by Annissa Anderson, for The Bulletin Special Projects

What’s fun, family-friendly and farm-fresh? This summer, two Redmond-area farmer’s markets will be offering fresh and locally made products in a festive environ-ment that’s fun for the whole family.

The Redmond Farmer’s Market and Tuesday Market at Eagle Crest will both be held on Tuesday afternoons this summer.

Redmond Farmer’s MarketCentennial Park in downtown Red-

mond will once again be bursting with colors, aromas and energy when the Red-mond Farmer’s Market begins on Tuesday, June 19. The market, open from 2 pm to 6:30 p.m. this year, will feature an array of vendors each Tuesday through Sept. 11.

The market’s times were changed this year to serve both the vendors and custom-

ers, said Michelle Jiunta, market manager for the Redmond Farmer’s Market. The shorter hours will help vendors keep pro-duce fresh, and a later closing time will give customers more time to shop after work.

Many of the vendors at the market will be the same as in years past. Boyco Foods, A&B Farms and Marquam Hill Berries will be represented, as well as a variety of arts and crafts vendors, occasional live musical artists, and prepared foods vendors. Jiunta is also working on getting more farmers with more produce that is available earlier in the season for this year’s market.

All of the vendors will showcase prod-ucts made or grown in Oregon.

A special Kid’s Day with activities and games for younger kids is being planned for mid-July in conjunction with several Redmond-based nonpro! ts, who will be doing outreach at the event. But farmer’s markets are a great place to take kids all

summer long, said Jiunta.“It’s a wholesome family experience

that gives kids a place to ! nd out where food comes from,” she said.

Shoppers at the Redmond Farmer’s Market should bring cash to purchase goods from market vendors. An on-site debit card machine will be available, which also accepts Oregon Trail cards for vegeta-ble purchases.

WIC and Food Direct Nutritional Pro-gram (FDNP) vouchers are also accepted by produce vendors. All shoppers are en-couraged to carry a reusable shopping bag (bags will also be available for sale).

Tuesday Market at Eagle CrestEagle Crest Resort residents and visi-

tors will ! nd a bounty of locally-produced

foods and arts and crafts this summer at the Tuesday Market at Eagle Crest.

The farmer’s market will kick off its sixth season on Tuesday, June 5 and con-tinue through Sept. 28. The market will be held at the soccer ! elds at Eagle Crest Re-sort each Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m.

This farmer’s market offers a different blend of food and arts and crafts vendors because it is held at a resort, said Yoleen Saerber, market manager for Tuesday Mar-ket at Eagle Crest. Though it is open to the public, many of the market’s customers are vacationing from different areas.

New and returning vendors will show-case products including fresh berries, jarred jams and jellies, handmade candles and jewelry, locally-crafted cheeses, honey, tea and natural skin care products. All prod-ucts are grown or produced in Oregon.

The market offers resort guests the op-portunity to shop without driving into town, said Saerber.

Visitors from surrounding communi-ties are also come to the market because it offers a variety of vendors not found at other local farmer’s markets.

Touring the Tuesday Market at Eagle Crest is another family-friendly activity for summer time at a family-oriented resort. Shoppers are best equipped with cash for making purchases, as each vendor has in-dividual policies on accepting checks and credit cards.

Moms lead charge for premier park playground facilityFour Redmond moms want a new, pre-

mier playground facility at Sam Johnson Park, and they’re willing to do what it takes to help make it a reality.

Based on their initial request to Redmond leaders during a winter city council meeting, the moms — Dalia Zimmerman, Shauna Carter, Brooke Doll and Chelsea Dickens — will be working with the City of Redmond to design a playground facility in Sam Johnson Park that is, according to city leaders, “re" ec-tive of the family values and quality stan-dards demonstrated by Centennial Park and the Ice Skating Rink,” two of Redmond’s most recent and successful endeavors.

The goal of the project is to foster collabo-

ration, communication, enjoyment and access for all. Currently, the City of Redmond has $90,000 set aside to support the effort. Both the moms group and city of! cials recognize that fundraising will be necessary to complete their vision.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the whole community to come together and build something in our Dry Canyon that will be en-joyed by all in our community”, said Heather Richards, Redmond’s Community Develop-ment Director. “Soon, we will be initiating some community forums to ! nd out what the community thinks about the design and pro-gramming and to gather their feedback on fund-raising potential for this project.”

Redmond Construction: Sixth Street Project, Downtown Redmond

by Laurel Brauns, for The Bulletin Special Sections Department

Beginning shortly after Labor Day, the

City of Redmond will begin another phase of downtown construction, this one to up-date the roads and sidewalks along Sixth Street from NW Jackpine Ave. (known lo-cally as the north Y) south to SW Deschutes Ave.

“This project is part of the continuing effort to make downtown Redmond more pedestrian friendly and inviting,” said Mike Caccavano, city engineer for the City of Red-mond. “We’ve had really positive feedback on the construction we’ve already done.”

The Sixth Street construction project will combine the aesthetics of two other improvement projects that have already been completed in the city.

A demonstration project on Sixth Street from SW Deschutes Avenue to SW Glacier

Avenue was completed in 2009 in time for the Centennial, Redmond’s 100 year an-niversary. In this upcoming third phase, Sixth Street from SW Deschutes Avenue to W Antler Avenue will have a similar look and feel.

Concrete will replace pavement on the streets, pedestrians will have more places to traverse on new crosswalks, tables and chairs, ! ower planters and public art will be installed as part of the streetscape.

From West Antler up to the North Y, existing pavement will be replaced with new asphalt pavement and new sidewalks. Trees will be added along the side of the road, and extended curbs will be installed.

The Jobs and Transportation Act, creat-ed by legislation from the State of Oregon, is the primary funding source for the proj-ect and is supported by an increase in state-wide gas tax. Some funds will also come from the City of Redmond.

The project will be delayed until after Labor Day in response to local concern that construction in the summer months might negatively affect downtown businesses. It is scheduled to take one year to complete and both sections may be built simultane-ously.

One lane of traf" c will be open at all times on this two-lane, one-way street. Pe-destrians will have full access to stores and restaurants in the construction zone, and

construction workers will make every ef-fort to maintain access to driveways.

“This project represents the " nal stages of Redmond’s 20-year efforts to relocate the highway and reclaim its Main Street and City Center,” said Heather Richards, Red-mond Community Development Director.

The City of Redmond is in the process of " nalizing a construction tool-kit for area businesses owners that will help them cre-ate a plan for the different phases of con-struction. Business in the urban renewal district will also have access to grant op-portunities outlined in the tool kit.

Funding for new facades and awnings are just a few examples of the grants uti-lized by downtown businesses in the past.

“We’ll present information on the proj-ect and it will be a good opportunity for business and property owners to provide input since we have not " nished the con-tract documents yet,” Caccavano said.

Next phase of downtown improvements will focus on the north section of Sixth Street in downtown Redmond.

Making Sixth Street pedestrian-friendly

Be Heard!Residents and business stakeholders are invited to the Sixth Street Construc-tion Project Community Meeting on Thursday, May 3 from 8 to 9 a.m. at the Public Works Training Room, located at 243 E. Antler Ave. in Redmond.
