SUMMARY:History Pub: The Lands Everyone Wanted with Jeff Kitchens
DESCRIPTION:The Three Sisters \nFor over 200 years the U.S. has been trying to figure out what to do with its “public” lands. From surveys to sales\, grazing to natural gas development\, national seashores to national parks\, the U.S. has had a very complicated history of land use. Our public lands are the cornerstone of the history and story of America’s relationship with its land as well as the women and men who forged that relationship. It is this legacy\, combined with the modern needs and uses of society\, that a multitude of local\, state\, and federal agencies carry upon their shoulders today. Join Jeff Kitchens\, Bend resident and a not-so-novice historian\, as he shares the story of America’s relationship with its public lands. \nJeff Kitchens has been working in public land management for over 25 years. His varied career took him throughout the U.S.\, including Oregon\, Montana\, Nevada\, and Colorado. He worked in wildland fire management\, forestry\, wildlife management\, lands and surveying\, mining\, and cultural resources\, as well as wilderness and wild and scenic rivers. He worked on national projects for two federal agencies’ headquarters and was a field forester\, spending eight hours a day marking timber on snowshoes in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In addition to helping manage public lands\, Jeff is also the owner of Innovative Leadership\, a private firm focused on developing and supporting intuitive\, resilient\, decisive\, and inclusive leaders. \nDoors open at 6:00 p.m.\, presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. \nHistory Pub Tickets

Join author Glenn Voelz as he recounts the history of Oregon Search and Rescue. \nGlenn Voelz served as an intelligence officer for 25 years in the Army\, holding senior leadership positions at the Pentagon\, the White House Situation Room\, and NATO headquarters in Brussels\, Belgium.

SUMMARY:January History Pub: About Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon
DESCRIPTION:With more breweries per capita than any other Oregon city\, Bend is a beer Mecca. Prior to Prohibition\, the state had a burgeoning brewing industry and plenty of saloons to cater to the needs of the hardy frontiersmen who settled Central Oregon. The teetotaling ’20s brought all that to a screeching halt. Fifty years later\, the arrival of pioneers like Deschutes Brewery and Bend Brewing Company breathed new life into Bend’s beer and brought about the booming industry for which the area is known today. Author and creator of “The Brew Site” Jon Abernathy traces Bend and Central Oregon’s hoppy history from early settlement to the present day\, sharing the stories behind its most famous breweries and the communities that have fostered the industry. \n  \n  \nJon Abernathy has been blogging about craft beer for more than a decade and drinking and homebrewing it for far longer. Having grown up in Central Oregon\, Jon went to school in Spokane\, Washington\, graduating from Eastern Washington University with a bachelor’s degree in French and ultimately began working in the computer industry as a web developer after returning to Bend. Blogging was a natural outlet for a web developer with a love of writing (and beer)\, and in 2004\, Jon launched The Brew Site\, a blog dedicated to all things beer and brewing. The blog has gone on to become the longest-running American beer blog and has documented the change and rapid growth that has characterized the Bend and Central Oregon brewing scene. You can visit the companion website to Jon’s book\, Bend Beer: A History of Brewing in Central Oregon at bendbeerhistory.com. \n  \nPresentation begins at 7:00 p.m.\, Doors open at 6:00 p.m. \nClick Here for Tickets: $5 each.
