Redmond Spokesman
The July edition of the
First Friday artwalk in Red-
mond will expand again, this
time to showcase the work of
four local artists in four dif-
ferent locations.
The event is July 1 from
4-7 p.m. and will center
around the work of Linda
Barker, Gina Detweiler,
Cathy Huntington and Ter-
ri-Dill Simpson. The loca-
tions where art walkers can
enjoy their work are Eqwine
Wine Bar, Junction Roastery,
Grace & Hammer Pizzeria
and SCP Redmond Hotel.
Detweiler’s mixed media of
calming colors and textures
will grace the walls at Grace
& Hammer Pizzeria. Her col-
lection of seaside-influenced
art was created “to inspire
relaxation and rest and the
sense of wonder that comes
from traveling to coastal ar-
eas.”
Huntington is a watercol-
orist who specializes in still
life, pets and their owners.
Her work will be hanged at
the Junction Roastery all
month long.
Dill-Simpson also works
with watercolors. Her work
will be on view at the Eqwine
Wine Bar. She said she works
to make images that whisper
softly or march boldly from
the paper.
“My paintings show my
passion for color and the in-
credible beauty of nature,”
she said.
Barker is an eclectic, self-
taught artist who works in
a variety of media. Her re-
cent focus is on jewelry and
clothing, using repurposed
materials. Her art reflects her
value for protecting the en-
vironment through by mak-
ing “art from resources that
others have tossed out.” That
work will be displayed at SCP
Redmond Hotel.

WINDERMERE RAISES
FUNDS DURING 38TH
COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY
By Robin Galloway
The Friends and Neighbors of the Deschutes Canyon Area
provided two days of educational field trips for students from
the Redmond Proficiency Academy on June 13-14. High
school students from the classes of Julie O’Neill and Jonathan
Moore chose an elective course titled “The Call of Nature,”
with a focus on nature as therapy for physical and mental
health.
Students performed community service by pulling invasive
weeds along the middle Deschutes River at Borden Beck Wild-
life Preserve, a property managed by the Redmond Area Park
and Recreation District.
FANs member Marilynne Keyser gave each a copy of a
book she co-authored, “A Guide to Common Weeds of the
Deschutes Canyon Area.” She then challenged the students to
clear out the invasive flannel mullein along the trail.
The group grabbed bags and tools and set off along the trail.
Within a hour or two, they collected 20 large bags of weeds,
predominately mullein.
After lunch, they donned binoculars and tried out bird-
watching. Within an hour, 19 species of birds were identified
and reported to Cornell Lab of Ornithology through the eBird
app.

day. FANs hike leaders Eric Hanson and Wendy Fink led them
on a hike where they learned about local geology and the his-
tory of the area. First Aid, leave no trace ethics and quiet time
to enjoy nature were also part of the experience.
