The gallery doors will open at 10 a.m. Dan will be signing 150 prints and offering an array of framing packages at discounted prices for the weekend. “Lupine In Bloom” stirs up images of brilliant paint- brush and lupine, quick dips in icy cold lakes, glittering stars on soft black velvet skies, and many silent steps on the trail. “Lupine In Bloom” is a front-row seat to a sliver of Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel has announced that he will seek a second four-year term. Hummel notes that dur- ing his three years in office, the County’s crime rate has dropped 8 percent, and the total number of crimes com- mitted has gone down even as the population and tourism continued to grow. He also asserts that he has improved management of the District Attorney’s office, resulting in dramatic cost reductions. “I respect your tax dol- lars, hold violent offenders accountable and protect the innocent,” said Hummel. “In short, I stand for justice and that’s why I’m seeking re-election.” At his first campaign event Sunday, Hummel told the audience of nearly 100 local Sarah Conroy, Chiropractor Prevent • Heal • Feel Better Natural Healthcare for the Entire Family residents that he pledged to focus on programs to pro- mote mental health, and pre- vent drug abuse in his second term, while holding criminal offenders accountable. “The vast majority of people charged with drug offenses are not a threat to the public,” he said. “If we iden- tify them early, we can ensure that they never enter the crim- inal justice center and instead get the help they need. At the same time, though, I have aggressively and successfully prosecuted crimes of violence and will continue to do so.” Elected Deschutes County District Attorney in May 2014, Hummel assumed office in January 2015. He brings 20 years of legal, policy and con- flict resolution professional experience to the office. Before his election as District Attorney, Hummel was the State and Federal Policy director for the Oregon Primary Care Association and director of the Oregon Consensus Program. Earlier, he served as the Liberia, Africa country representative for the Carter Center, lead- ing efforts to help Liberians improve their justice and mental-health systems. His other professional experience includes 12 years of trial work as a criminal law defense attorney, teaching, and serving as a Bend City Councilor. He holds a mas- ter’s degree in International Public Policy from the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, a J.D. degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law and a B.A. degree from Roanoke College.
