Melissa incorporates organic objects such as sand and pinion nuts onto a can- vas with acrylic washes to create a layered and dimen- sional look to her pieces. She states, <I view these works as a personal collaboration of my culture, individual devel- opment, and curious expres- sion of the world around me. My intention is to share with others the beauty of the Great Basin area, people, and culture.= A renowned abstract art- ist in Sisters, Oregon recently said of her works, <They9re meditative, quiet, with a spir- itual quality that is somewhat understated. Every piece has a personal focal point for a person, allowing them to enter the work. They9re really good!= Joey Allen, Paiute and Shoshone, grew up and con- tinues to live in the Fallon, NV area. He9s a tule reed craftsman in the most tradi- tional sense, as well as a local guide. The area of nearby Stillwater shelters lakes, where ducks have long been hunted. Like duck hunting today, decoys were tradition- ally used to bring the water- fowl closer to the hunters. Joey apprenticed under master Paiute Tule Decoy maker Martin George in the 1990s. This area, the Lahontan Valley, once held the largest lake in the American West. It was a major nesting area and fly- way for the waterfowl of North America9s Pacific region. Joey9s decoys could have been used in the old days to lure in ducks; today, they can be either works of art or used as hunting decoys. Tia Flores has Navajo and Aztecan ancestral heritage. Her paternal grandmother9s family made their home in the Nevada Great Basin des- ert while her maternal side instilled within her the strong Indigenous connections to the Earth. Combined, it is these two ancestral elements that guide Tia as a pyrogra- pher4an artist who creates images with burning tools. Decorative gourd art dates back 4,000 years in the Western Hemisphere as Indigenous Peoples used var- ious tools and ash to inscribe and darken prepared gourds with elaborate, narrative images. Tia9s drum, masks, totems, and jewelry are BEND (AP) 4 The Bend City Council has repealed a local plastic bag ban to allow the state9s ban to take over. The Bend Bulletin reports that the idea to repeal the local law was floated last month as a way to eliminate confusion between the local law 4 which started July 1 4 and the state law slated to begin in January. With the repeal, voted on Wednesday, now in effect, local retailers will no lon- ger be officially required to charge 10 cents for paper bags. PHOTO PROVIDED Joey Allen and his family.

The City Council in December established an ordinance to ban plastic grocery bags in Bend after months of lobbying from a community group and middle school students. The state law, signed by Gov. Kate Brown on June 20, dictates that all retail estab- lishments will not be allowed to provide single-use plastic bags, but allows retailers to provide recycled paper bags, reusable heavy plastic bags, or reusable fabric bags for a charge of at least five cents per bag.
