Adios for Now, El Sancho

Gone, but not forgotten.

I waddled down to El Sancho for lunch (which was awesome, as usual: tacos, tamales and some potato, pepper, zucchini salad business over rice with some roughage on the side) and was met with some surprising news, which I’m still split on.
It seems Joel is leaving his post on 211 NW Greenwood Ave (next to the Blacksmith and his bro cart, Soupcon) to take a job at Pono Farms, a local farm that provides meat for their casual restaurant and for their specialty butcher shop.

The Road Ahead: Bill Anthony reflects on the travails, triumphs and transformations of a Forest Service career

Capping off a distinguished Forest Service career.

While most of us were busy making plans for New Year's Eve, Bill Anthony was packing boxes and making plans for the rest of his life. Or, if he followed his wife's advice, Anthony was resisting the temptation to make plans.
Anthony officially retired from the U.S. Forest Service at the end of the year, ending a three-decade career that culminated with a 14-year stint as the district ranger for the Sisters area. His departure marks the end of one of the more notable, and in some ways unlikely, forestry careers that saw Anthony transform the way people think about forestry with pioneering consensus-based projects that turned critics into collaborators and allies.
“He took the changing mission of the Forest Service to heart and is probably one of the most innovative and creative district rangers that I've ever met,” said Tim Lillebo, field organizer for Oregon Wild and a longtime forest activist in Central Oregon.
