PET OF THE WEEK
BrightSide Ani-
mal Center’s Pet of
the week is Rufus!
Rufus was sur-
rendered to Bright-
side when the
previous home
could no longer
keep him. He is an
adorable and funny
boy who can be a
bit shy at first but
warms up quickly
with some head
scratches. He is a
lover of all ages and
is even tempered
making him a great
fit for many homes.
He is a sweet, kind,
and laidback cat
that would love to
meet you. Rufus
would do well liv-
ing with other cats
but prefers a home
with no dogs. Come visit Rufus at BrightSide today!
TRUCK OF THE WEEK
BY NICOLE ROGERS
For The Spokesman
Name of tuck: Brunchies
Owner: Jacquelien Mansker and
her partner Jason DeHaan
Location: General Duffy’s Water-
hole, 404 SW Forest Ave
Hours: 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednes-
day-Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Satur-
day and Sunday, and they are closed
Monday and Tuesday
Opened: April 2022
About the cart: The owners, who
live in Sisters, moved their location from Sisters to Redmond on Nov. 1. Their name Brunchies stands for breakfast,
lunch and munchies. The cart makes their own English muffins, milk bread, and donut holes from scratch. Their do-
nut holes are tossed in cinnamon sugar and fried to order. The cart also offers gluten free breakfast tacos, and they
have just added apple fritter donut holes and a burger.
Your first order should be: Mansker suggested the tacos, donut holes or a sandwich. She said they were all popular,
but also said it was hard to choose since everything is popular. Their donut holes are made from scratch, with but-
ter and vanilla and are fried to order. Making them always fresh and warm and tossed in cinnamon and sugar. Their
breakfast tacos are three corn tortillas loaded with sausage, bacon, hash browns, eggs, onions and cheese, served with
picante sauce on the side.
Fun fact: Mansker said the truck itself is unique and helps them stand apart. “We designed it and had it built in
Texas, and then we road tripped down there and picked it up.” They had a boat wrap company do their graphics and
the vinyl wrap as well. DeHaan built all the signs and their big marquee. They are also getting set up with Uber Eats
and Grubhub. They can also be found on Facebook and Instagram. They are one of the few food trucks in Redmond
open early during the breakfast hours.
Gardening Corner: Gift list for the gardener with (almost) everything
Douville
BY LIZ DOUVILLE
H
ouse and garden mag-
azines are helpful with
their gift suggestions.
Most ideas aren’t really what
gardeners need or want. Be
truthful, how many cherubs or
gnomes do you really need?
Readers might interpret the
suggestions as stocking stuffers
but as a seasoned gardener all
suggestions have tremendous
value. Gifts should never be
valued on a monetary basis but
on their value of bringing joy
to the receiver or filling a need.
Two or three smaller items
could be wrapped separately
and placed together in a basket
or a bucket. The bucket could
be of galvanized-steel, with a
handle and used for the cut-
flower gardener to put picked
flowers in.
A basket filled with garden-
ing accessories: scissors, twine,
plastic or metal plant tags, plas-
tic ties, waterproof marker, a
journal and pen, maybe a col-
lapsible bag to carry debris.
Garden hand tools i.e.,
trowel, weeding tool, pruners,
all with bright-colored handles.
They would be easier to find
when you put them down and
then get distracted.
A kneeling pad or if physical
limitations need to be consid-
ered, look for the style with side
handles that help you get up
and down. There are days when
we all feel we need one.

never has enough washable gar-
den gloves or wide-brimmed
sun hats. Sometimes I feel like a
dork with my “safari” style gar-
den hat, but, I’m very suscepti-
ble to skin cancers. A side note:
I grew up in Wisconsin, lived
in many areas of the U.S., plus
overseas in Singapore and Aus-
tralia and was never had any
indication of a skin cancer. A
year after moving to the area, I
started on a regular regiment of
treatments.
The High Desert climate
needs to be respected with re-
gards to skin care. The sun is
very intense and many new-
comers quickly learn to take
time to apply the sunscreens.
Along the same line, gar-
deners need rich hand lotions,
lip balm (not just for winter
weather) sunscreens, fragrant
soaps and bath oils for the end
of a busy day. Plus a little bit of
chocolate is never under-appre-
ciated.
Candles have been a part of
our family life beginning on
the evening that daylight sav-
ings ends. A scented candle
can be nourishing to the spirit
during this transitional time of
the year.
A good soil thermometer
is a must to give the go-ahead
signal for spring planting. For
indoor houseplants a moisture
meter is important. Just because
it’s Tues, or your favorite day,
doesn’t mean it is time to give
plants a drink. Choose a meter
that in addition to the mois-
ture provides readings of light,
and pH.
How can we approach the
gift giving season and not think
of books? Douglas W. Tallamy
is a professor in the Depart-
ment of Entomology and Wild-
life Ecology at the University of
Delaware in Newark. “Bringing
Nature Home” was published in
2007 with subsequent editions
updated and expanded in 2009.
The copy I have was published
in 2015 and is full of detailed
insect photos and native plant
reference tables for all major

geographic areas of the United
States. It is a wonderful refer-
ence on how you can sustain
wildlife with native plants.
Tallamy’s second book “Na-
tures Best Hope” was pub-
lished in 2019 and by 2021 had
reached its eighth printing. Tal-
lamy encourages homeowners
to be more conscientious about
turning to a more grass-root
approach of landscaping and
recreating conservation corri-
dors.
“Homegrown National Park”
is a grass-roots-call-to-action
to regenerate biodiversity and
ecosystems function by plant-
ing native plants. It is an idea
that Tallmay got when he heard
the statistics about how much
lawn we have —the estimate
is from 2005 NASA estimate
from satellite imagery — but
it’s 40 million acres. That’s the
size of New England dedicated
to lawn, which is an ecological
deadscape.
It is a project Tallamy hopes
many gardeners will become in-
volved in. Read more at home-
grownnationalpark.org. You
can watch a map light up on
the website. You can see the bi-
ological corridors fill in. I even
found Bend, Prineville, Madras,
check it out.
The ultimate gift for a gar-
dener would be enrollment in
the Oregon State University
Master Gardener Program.
