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.

Encore Dance hires
Universal Studios’
‘Cindy Lou Who’
GEARHART — Encore
Dance Studio is excited to
announce that its family of
teachers has grown.
“We’ve stolen Christ-
mas! 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.”

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.
