SEPTEMBER 21, 2017 // 19 Rolling Stone magazine to be sold NEW YORK — Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner plans to sell his company’s controlling stake in the legendary maga- zine that chronicled the music and politics of the countercul- ture movement and changed music journalism forever. The New York Times reported recently that Wenner and his 27-year-old son, Gus, the president and chief operating officer of Wenner Media, hope to stay on at the magazine, but it’s a decision for the buyer. Gus Wenner said in an interview last week that “publishing is a completely different industry than what it was.” No potential buyers have been named. The company’s other magazines, Us Weekly and Men’s Journal, were sold recently to American Media Inc., helmed by publisher David J. Pecker. The elder Wenner says he hopes to find a buyer that understands Rolling Stone’s mission.

Well, maybe not Christmas, just Cindy Lou Who!” Encore wrote. The studio’s newest teacher, Brittany Hender- son, comes all the way from Los Angeles, where she played Cindy Lou Who at Universal Studios. “She’s so excited to be dancing here with us and is already working her magic in some Hip Hop, Musical Theater and Jazz classes,” the dance studio said. Specializing in Street Jazz and Hip Hop, Hender- son has danced and studied musical theater in various cities for 15 years. At 16, she began teaching all lev- els of Hip Hop to children ages 6 and up. Henderson immediately fell in love with teaching dance to kids and made it her career. Children respond well to her high energy, friendly and animated personality and enjoy her teaching style. Dancing and performing at Univer- sal Studios Hollywood, Millennium Dance Com- plex and Debbie Reynolds Studios, Henderson has danced with top choreog- raphers including Jayson Wright, Shane Sparks and Casper Smart. “Brittani is a new mom to a beautiful little girl who’s enrolled in dance at Encore this fall,” the studio wrote. “She is excited to be a part of the Encore team, and she’s looking forward to inspiring children in the studio.” SUBMITTED PHOTO Chef Outta Water pres- ents a series of food events from Thursday, Sept. 28, to Sunday, Oct. 8, that are an exchange of flavors, friend- ship and business opportu- nities between Australia and Oregon. Australian Chef Michael Brine from Townsville, North Queensland, will be the ‘chef outta water’ team- ing up with Astoria’s Chef Chris Holen as part of a local makers and food pro- ducers tour though Astoria, Portland, Hood River, Bend and McMinnville. Brine will use his skill to pair ‘down under’ flavors with Oregon produce. “I am looking forward to experiencing a new pal- ate of Oregon flavors and weaving in a little tropical North Queensland Australia inspiration,” Brine said. Holen, who visited Townsville in 2016, added: “The opportunity to learn about Australia, new flavors and techniques really in- spired me. By inviting Chef Michael Brine to Oregon, I am sharing Australian culture and flavors with my diners at Baked Alaska and the local food industry.” Experiences such as these can be life-changing and inspire innovation such as the development of new products. At the first event, Chef Outta Water will be launching a specially craft- ed Buoy Beer, inspired by North Queensland flavors. The Chef Outta Water program is designed to inspire through an interna- tional exchange of learning, by fostering friendships and assisting operators large and small to reach global mar- kets and gain international exposure.
