THE BULLETIN • THE REDMOND SPOKESMAN | 3

by Gregg Morris, for The Bulletin Special Projects

“We love Redmond. It has great community support. It’s a great place to start a pub.”

This sentiment, spoken by Nat-alie Patterson of Smith Rock Brew-ing, is illustrated by the increase of breweries located in Redmond. Alongside the newly opened Smith Rock Brewery are Phat Matt’s Brewing and Cas-cade Lakes Brewery, who has been in Redmond since 1994. The rise of breweries doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon as new ones such as Shade Tree Brewing slow-ly move into the area.

The New Kid on the Block

Last April, Natalie got a phone call from her sis-ter-in-law, Danielle Stew-art. Danielle wondered if Natalie and her husband Don Frederickson would be interested in joining Danielle and her husband, Kevin in open-ing a brewery.

“I thought they were crazy,” says Natalie. “But, when we looked at pooling our resources, we saw that it would be possible if we started out small.”

What started out as a simple phone call came to fruition with

the opening of Smith Rock Brew-ing on the corner of Fir and 7th Street.

“We chose the name Smith Rock Brewing because it paid homage to our location and be-cause of its strong connection to Central Oregon – a place we love and feel very privileged to live in,” says Natalie.

For now, Smith Rock Brewing will pour a rotating selection of

eight guest taps in the bar. Begin-ning early 2013, they will serve their own beer in addition to the others. While they are currently brewing on a 25 gallon system, Smith Rock Brewing hopes to ex-pand their operations to a larger, off-site location.

Not only do the four owners keep it in the family, they also try

to buy local when they can. “All of our Cascade hops are local,” adds Natalie. “We are buying them from Tumalo Hops Company and they are excellent.”

The Young Pup“I was involved in Grand Rap-

ids (Michigan) Brewing in the early nineties, states Matt Mulder, CEO of Phat Matt’s Brewing. “I thought Central Oregon would be

a great place to start a brewing op-eration.”

Matt started Phat Matt’s in Redmond last September.

“I wanted a change from Bend,” Matt goes on to explain. “Redmond offers great opportuni-ties for small businesses.”

Josh Riggs is the head brewer at Phat Matt’s and oversees the

Redmond is home to an ever-increasing number of craft brewers and popular pubs, making it a mini-paradise for beer drinkers in search of new fl avors.

production of their beers, including an IPA, a Porter, a Kolsch, their most pop-ular Red Ale and a soon-to-be-released winter ale.

As for why small craft breweries are so popular in Central Oregon, Matt thinks, “the lifestyle here in Central Oregon lends itself to beer drinking. Plus, the water here is great for brew-ing. I have been to other breweries in other parts of the world where they have great recipes and brewing prac-

tices, but because of their water, it just doesn’t taste as good.”

The Old GuardCascade Lakes Brewery has been

turning hops, grains and sugar into beer for the last 18 years. What started out as small batch brewing housed in Redmond’s airport industrial zone has transformed into a state of the art, 25 barrel brew house system that brews 775 gallons per batch, three times a

day. Cascade Lakes Brewery expanded their beer sales into Idaho in March of 2011 and Washington as of May of 2012.

Locally, you can ! nd a Cascade Lakes beer, as well as many other Red-mond-based beers, on tap at many of the local watering holes and restau-rants in Redmond, including Cross Creek Cafe, Pig & Pound and Jersey Boys Pizzeria.

“The Paci! c Northwest was the original small craft brewery mecca,” explains John Van Duzer, Head Brewer at Cascade Lakes Brewing. “With the recreation opportunities that Bend and Central Oregon have, such as skiing and mountain biking, it is a natural ! t for beer drinkers.”

Prior to leading the brew team at Cascade Lakes, John spent nine years at Bend’s largest brewery, Deschutes Brewery. He oversees the production of their ! ve year-round beers, Blonde Bombshell, Rooster Tail Ale, Monkey Face Porter, 20” Brown, and Cyclops IPA, as well as their nine seasonal beers. At the North American Beer Awards ceremony, Cascade Lakes took home a gold medal for their Paulina Lake Pilsner and a silver medal for

their Monkey Face Porter.What sets Cascade lakes apart from

some of the other brewing operations is their ! ve local pubs, including Red-mond’s 7th Street Brew House and Red Dog Depot.

Good Beer for RedmondDan Mooney, Marketing Director

for the Redmond Chamber of Com-merce, is optimistic about the new brewery openings.

“The openings of these new Brew-eries will bring more traf! c to Red-mond and allow for locals to stay close to home instead of traveling elsewhere for a good brew.”

As the City of Redmond grows, so grows its burgeoning art scene. The Red-mond Commission for Art in Public Plac-es (RCAPP) has brightened the city with murals, clock towers and sculptures.

Artists, such as Ryan Beard, who was recently awarded the Best of Jury award at the Bend Spring Festival, are beginning to call Central Oregon home.

Because art is starting to take root in Redmond, it is only ! tting the community and local businesses get behind the cultur-al luxury. With that in mind, the Redmond Downtown Association is sponsoring the Redmond Third Friday Art Stroll begin-ning April 19 from 4-8 p.m.

“I think the Art Stroll will allow peo-ple to not only see the art, but the local businesses as well,” says organizer Bern Theisen. “It is a nice way to market the shops and the City of Redmond as well. It really helps everyone.”

As its name suggests, the Third Friday Art Stroll will take place the third Friday of each month in downtown Redmond. A rotating cast of businesses will host lo-cal artists with varying media as they stay open late for the event. Some of the local shops will have entertainment and light food as well.

Kids ArtThe Third Friday Art Stroll will kick

off in April with a focus on local children’s art. The Redmond Downtown Associa-tion sent word to all Redmond students, in public and private schools as well as home schoolers, offering them a place to hang their creative endeavors.

The businesses are expecting multiple media as the kids show off their work.

Close to 20 businesses have signed up

to host the art. The Redmond Downtown Association expects that number to rise signi! cantly as the summer approaches.

A Business OpportunityIn addition to expanding Redmond’s

cultural boundaries, the Third Friday Art Stroll seeks to highlight the downtown businesses as Redmond improves its fa-cade.

“The Third Friday Art Stroll is a great opportunity for Central Oregonians to visit the businesses in downtown Red-mond,” says Karen Sande, events director for the Redmond Chamber of Commerce. “We want people to know that even dur-ing the construction, we are still open for business.”

Theisen concurs.“I think it is important for all of Cen-

tral Oregon to recognize Redmond has a lot to offer,” she said.

For more information on Redmond’s Third Friday Art Stroll, including artist and business opportunities, please contact Theisen at 541-548-7101.

The Redmond Downtown Association meets the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. You may call Theisen for more information.

Redmond’s fi rst Third Friday Art Stroll will kick off in April with kids art featured at downtown businesses.

Coming to downtown Redmond this summer is the Red-mond Street Festival. The free event will run Saturday, June 15 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, June 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sixth Street between Deschutes and Forest Av-enues.

Richard Esterman, a 31-year veteran of events coordina-tion and photography, is hosting the ! rst annual event. While Sixth Street construction has limited the boundaries of this year’s festival, Esterman plans on doubling its size next year.

While he has produced events in both Bend and Sisters, this is Esterman’s ! rst festival in Redmond’s growing down-town area.

“There is a lot of Central Oregon history in Redmond,” says Esterman. “I felt Redmond was a little ignored. It’s a natural ! t. The buildings are great.”

This year’s street festival will include one block full of an-tiques for sale, and one block of homemade arts and crafts. While some local shops will be represented, most of the goods for sale are from out of town. In addition, there will be ! ve commercial booths selling their wares.

To accommodate and incorporate the local businesses, the festival booths will run down the center of the street with the sidewalks remaining open.

Each day will include music from the corner of Sixth Street and Evergreen. Bend’s Three Quarter Short band will bring their tight three-part harmonies to the stage Saturday, while Kelly Thibodeau with the Acoustic Etouffee Band, out of Louisiana, will swamp-rock on Sunday.

Adding to the family-friendly atmosphere, kids can deco-rate a demolition car on Saturday. Food will be available for purchase on both days.

Sponsors for this event include the Bend/Sisters RV Gar-den, Big Country RV, Press Pros, Imperial Graphix & Signs, Redmond Pro! ciency Academy, Redmond Antiques Mall, Gary Gruner Chevrolet and the Bend Radio Group.

For more information on this, “rain or shine” event, you may call Richard Esterman at 541-420-0279, email him at [email protected], or visit the website www.centraloregon-shows.com.

Redmond Volunteer Firefi ghters Annual Fish Fair:


Since the 1940’s, the Redmond Fish Fair has been a free event that’s fun for the whole family. The Redmond Volunteer Fire Department took the reins from the Lions Club of Redmond 31 years ago and has hosted the event every year since. Kids 13 and under can fish for free at the well-stocked Firemen’s Pond on the corner of SW Lake Court and SW Lake Road in Redmond.

The 2013 Redmond Volun-teer Firefighter’s Annual Fish Fair will be held on Saturday, May 25, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Prizes, provided by Cent-Wise Hardware in Redmond, will be handed out all day. Plaques, supplied by All About You En-graving, will be awarded to the longest fish in the three age categories.

“The goal is to let the kids have fun and learn about fishing,” says volunteer fire-fighter Corey Erickson. “Every year, we have kids who catch their first fish. It’s nice to see how excited they get.”

Quality Heating will run their “Bait Shack,” offering loaner fishing poles and free advice to the children. The Kiwanis

Club of Redmond will grill hot dogs on the barbecue and have a photo booth for inter-ested kids.

This community event grows each year, with more than 530 hot dogs served last year. Other sponsors include Bluefish Den-tal and American Family Insurance.

More than 40 volunteers work both the

May 25 event and the May 5 cleanup day.“The community support has been

great,” says Erickson. “It takes a lot to put this on and grow the event each year.”

Registration is not required for the event, and everyone is welcome to attend. For more information, to donate or to become a sponsor of the event, contact Cory Erickson at 541-316-3022 or [email protected].

“What Will a Four-Year University Meanfor Business in Central Oregon?”

Business Expo is The Junior Achievement Finance Park, hosted at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo in the North Sister — adjacent to this year’s Business Expo. JA Finance Park was created to provide a relevant, high-impact personal ! nancial literacy program for middle and high school students across Oregon and Southwest Washington.

The program space is a transportable structure similar to a high-end trade show exhibit, designed as a mini-city with “businesses” that correlate to 16 personal budget lines.

JA Finance Park provides a critical resource to help schools and communities ensure that young people have the opportunity to develop sound ! nancial skills for life. It also enables students to recognize the value of education and how dropping out might limit their future horizons.

by John Cal, for The Bulletin Special Projects

A bag of Cheetos, a shamefully purchased copy of Peo-ple Magazine, and a regrettable $3 bottle of water — these are the sorts of things we normally buy when we’re at the airport.

And while the variety of what’s available for purchase while traveling is increasing all the time and reaching far beyond that old airplane Duty Free catalog (there are even Best Buy vending machines sprinkled at major airports across the country), art — local high quality art at that — is probably the last thing we expect to procure on our way to catch that ! ight to Denver.

Unbeknown to many of us, the Redmond Municipal

Airport at Roberts Field has been showcasing and selling original, high-quality art produced by local Central Orego-nian artists for the last 18 years and counting and has sold near $100,000 dollars in art to date.

Informally known as “Art at the Airport,”, the airport’s regular art show features up to 25 artists at a time in each of its triennial shows.

“Each show is juried with assistance from RCAPP (Red-mond Commission for Art in Public Places),” said airport director Kim Dickie. “Volunteers come out and score the art based on original thought, concept and voice, artwork frame and presentation, and excellence in craftsmanship.”

Shows are themed and submissions are taken and then juried based on the current theme. The airport’s current show “The Power of Red,” which will be open

to the public free of charge through May 10, features artists interpreting the title color through:

• Barns and sunsets swathed in brick and amaranth;• A solitary canoe dyed, seemingly dipped, in merlot;• And the Best in Show piece, a grouping of Red Peo-

nies by Bend artist Denise Rich, deep crimson at their cen-ters and white at their tips, having the visual quality of be-ing edged in snow.

“The airport itself often purchases the Best in Show piece for its permanent collection,” said Tammy Rohach, of-" ce assistant at the airport.

Lining the walls of the departure gates, just past securi-ty the airport’s permanent art collection is a veritable visual history of it’s past shows.

“Not many people know it’s here,” Rohach said. “They’re just busy making their ! ights, and you don’t think of an airport as a place for " ne art.”

Rohach is in the process of really innovating what Art at the Airport means. In the works are a series on aviation, wherein an antique airplane is planned to be styled and on display and a series of pieces depicting aviation throughout history is being considered to be put on permanent display.

Also in the works for the show is a partnership with this year’s Smith Rock Paint Out to showcase all the created geologically inspired pieces.

“This is the " rst time we’ve done a partnership like this,” said Linda Hill, chair of RCAPP.

Linda, a longtime local artist herself, has been involved with the airport art shows since

their inception.“The city and airport managers and I were talking, and

just thought it would a great thing to do. We just wanted a way to show more art in town,” said Hill.

Right now the art is limited to smaller-framed pieces, “but we really want to show ceramics and other free stand-ing sculptures,” Hill added. “We’re looking into procuring display cases and brainstorming other ways to show a larg-er variety of mediums.”

“The artists really get into it and call a lot to see when the next show is and if we’ve picked a theme for it yet,” Ro-hach said. We’re also adding pieces to the permanent col-lection all the time, like the new peak " nder, [a metal piece stylistically identifying each of the mountains in vista of the

airport], outside.”Art and airport are perhaps two ideas that are in deep

juxtaposition to each other. With one we slow down, we sa-vor, we notice the details of all the things that make life so beautiful, wherein airports are normally thought of as plac-es that we hurry through to get wherever it is we’re going.

But Dickie, Rohach and Hill are slowing trying to bring the two closer together, to make the journeying itself a more beautiful thing.

“There are just so many possibilities,” said Hill, “and I think we’re all really excited to explore them.”

Redmond’s Art Community:

ART at the AIRPORT


by John Cal, for The Bulletin Special Projects

They opened during January, a seemingly odd time to open a frozen yogurt shop — in the middle of the Cen-tral Oregonian winter.

Still, Josh and Bernice Scheidler co-owners — along with Josh’s father, Steve — of YoWild Yogurt shops in Redmond and Bend decided to take a chance, and two years later, Central Oregonians can’t get enough of their delectably creamy treats.

The Scheidlers, aware of the realities of owning what would be considered a seasonal business, ex-pected to have a slower start to their yogurt shop.

“We expected it to be slow to be able to learn along the way,” Josh said. “But we didn’t have the luxury of slow. The response was just so overwhelm-ing . . . It was really exciting to open to that kind of energy.”

Despite these initial, tempered expectations, how-ever, Josh was con! dent investing in a specialty shop like YoWild Yogurt.

“Really, there was no risk in my mind. [Frozen yogurt] is happening in the NW,” he said. “Yeah, we see a difference in winter sales, but isn’t Alaska the No. 1 consumer of ice cream in the U.S.? And it’s not really about the yogurt; it’s about fun, and you can have that any time of year.”

It’s this fun factor that keeps intrigued and creative Redmonders returning to the self serve shop. Walls are splashed in indigo and tangerine and sunbursts of fanci-ful designs canvas the walls.

“Bernice is the design guru,” Josh said, crediting his wife for the shop’s energizing, yet light hearted exterior.

“She’s the one who thought this all up.”Though now an integral part of what makes YoWild

so special, Bernice Scheidler wasn’t always so reticent to the idea of being a yogurt shop proprietor.

“My ! rst reaction was, ‘No way. No food,” Bernice said with re" ective laughter. “I’d just moved twice. I just made friends, and I didn’t want to uproot the kids again.”

The Scheidlers met in Johannesburg, South Africa, when Josh had been in the country for a summer intern-ship at a local church. After a year of long-distance court-ing, the two married and began their life in South Africa together, where Josh was working, ! rst as a pastoral as-sistance, then as a contractor, and Bernice continued her business as a designer.

But circumstances brought Josh and his family back to his native Oregon for work. Then a few months later, a downturned economy forced his company to lay him off.

“The company he worked with was fabulous but couldn’t keep the people,” said Bernice, who saw the cir-cumstance as an opportunity. “We wanted to do some-thing we could do together.”

The couple, who were living in Vancouver, Wash., at the time, considered several options — opening a gas station, for one — before settling on the self-serve yogurt concept.

“It was actually [Josh’s] dad that introduced the idea to us,” Bernice said. “We fell in love with it. It stuck with us as something fun and enjoyable to do. We haven’t looked back.”

With a level of success that compelled the couple to open a second location in Bend, the shop has become so much more than a quick stop for a sweet treat.

“It’s so much more than yogurt, especially in this community,” said Josh. “Yogurt is what people come for, but they stay for the vibe. They stay because our staff is incredible. The product we have speaks for it-self. It’s of the highest level of quality, but you can get good frozen yogurt lots of places in Central Oregon.”

Still, the Scheidlers are proud to try to continue to raise the bar of excellence.“We’re not in a place where we’re competing with

the other yogurt shops,” Bernice said. “We wish them well, but we’re always competing against ourselves. I’m always thinking about trying something new.”

It’s this diligence that has compelled the yogurt duo to be so very good at what they do. Their combined tal-ents are what have made it possible to innovate, offering fun seasonal toppings as well as nutritional and allergen information readily and digitally.

“I think mixing it up is a fun thing,” said Bernice.

Selling Yogurt. Promoting Fun.

Yo Wild!

Hidden Treasures:


“Right now, we have these little pump-kin candies, and I think the customers like to have little surprises when they come in along with the staples they can count on.”

YoWild has also started to hosting regular movie events and a weekly kara-oke night right in the store.

“We always wanted to be a place that attracted young people and families,” Bernice said. “My heart is that people have a place they can come and have a good time.”

And located in the heart of Redmond, surrounded by neighborhoods and di-rectly across the street from Redmond

High, makes YoWild an easy and afford-able choice.

“After basketball games, people are always coming through the store,” said Josh, “and it’s been so great to be a place where people in this community just go to like that.”

The couple, which regularly attends Amazing Grace Bible Fel-lowship in Redmond, are devoutly people of faith.

“God is ! rst in all the decisions,” said Josh. “None of this is what I planned. I planned to ! nish Bible col-lege and be part of a church, but I know I’m still living in God’s perfect plan.”

Josh, who is still plan-ning on ! nishing his B.A. in theology, is himself serv-ing the community, but in-stead of using a sanctuary

“What most people think is that min-istry has to happen in church,” Bernice said. “But kindness can happen any-where. Ministry is helping someone. We want YoWild to be a light in this commu-nity. That’s our heart.”

6th Street is ‘Open for Business’This month we would like to focus on downtown Redmond. The 6th Street ‘Open for Business’ campaign is a push by the City of Redmond, local merchants and the Redmond Chamber of Commerce to help the businesses effected by the construction project. The goal is to encourage Redmond residents to get out and support the local businesses in these hard, but gratifying times. Once ! nished, 6th Street and Redmond will be a better place for pedestrians looking for a place to stroll the city. Parking down-town always comes into play, but don’t hesitate to park off 6th street and make the walk to downtown. Get the legs moving, enjoy the sunshine and shop local Redmond. Some businesses even have their back doors open for easy access. These businesses need our help, so next time you are thinking of going out, think of downtown and think local.

Chair-ity for ChildrenThe General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Central Oregon (GFWC) will host its 8th annual Chair-ity for Children project, a fundraiser for Sparrow Clubs. This year, 25 wooden chairs were creatively painted by students, professionals and other local artists. The chairs are on display and up for auction at participating Redmond businesses through Tuesday, April 30. Everyone’s encouraged to browse the creations and place a bid on their favorite chairs! All chairs will be on display in downtown Redmond at the Third Friday Stroll, Youth Art Walk Friday, April 19 from 4 - 8 p.m. For additional information, contact GFWC of Central Oregon at www.gfwccentralor.org, or call Joann Wheeler at 541-279-1441.
