Porsche 928 GtS

Last week I went to Pangea for dinner. As I walked into the restaurant I noticed some amazing paintings on the wall that I hadn’t seen before. I obviously haven’t been paying atten-tion because the artist Daniel Verner has many shows around town and was even featured in last months Sneak Preview.

As I was looking at the paintings my imagination wandered. Someone who is this talented should be supported by a community... the state.... the country..... They have a real gift and they should be paid to paint.

With spring blooming, one can almost taste tomatoes, corn and other treats from local farms. Luckily, a new crop of farmers is growing to fill our plates with goodness. The Ashland-Talent Grower’s Collaborative unites three farms, with other producers, to provide fresh, sustainable foods. The farms, Village Farm, HappyDirt Veggie Patch and Meadowlark Family Farm, grow more than 50 varieties of produce They’re offering a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program, and ‘Farm Bucks’ to purchase individual items. I interviewed the farmers to dig up the details.

Back to reality... when I’m a millionaire I’ll sponsor a few artists.... until then I can do an interview!

I called Daniel Verner on the phone, and the next day I was over at his house getting the full tour of his studio.

This is my favorite part about the LocalsGuide model. I have a pretty good excuse to meet and speak with some interesting people.

You should try it. Find someone interesting who you would like to meet and ask them if you can do an interview with them for the LocalsGuide.

I’ve got all the templates you need to do your inter-view online at www.LocalsGuide.com.

It’s a blast... I promise you’ll have a great time... and make a new friend.

Anyhow on with the interview.----------->Daniel, thanks for doing an interview with me today. When i first saw your paintings on the wall i really had to stop and take a closer look. You caught my attention and sparked my curiosity. Can you talk a little bit about the work you are doing and how you the process that goes into creating each piece?

Daniel Verner: First allow me to thank you for this interview and for the wonderful publication you have brought to this community.

The art process begins for me when I meet or see someone who has a quality of both inner and outer beauty and a strong life energy. At this time in my life beauty is the first source or impetus to create a painting. It was not always this way. When I began

painting in my late teens I was completely taken with the surrealist mode of dream symbolism. I later did psychedelic style paintings in the sixties. About ten years ago I created a series called the Religious Series that I believe qualifies as Post-Modern. In this series I was making observations about the culture, religious behaviors, and social mores that have been a part of my life. Most importantly, the “Religious Series” series demonstrated how funny we are when we take ourselves too seriously.

The second driver to create a painting is the spirit and complex psychology of the person. I love the distinctiveness of each person. By this I am referring to our unique individual expression and response to this journey of becoming conscious beings. This is the beginning of the process.

The actual sequence of creating a painting begins with asking the selected person if they would like to pose. I then set up a simple setting in my studio for the pictures and meet with the person. I converse with the model, asking them about their passions and history. I listen to her or his life stories. I also ask them to bring something to the photo session that is important to her or him or that represents a connec-tion to his or her life. From this I assemble objects that are visual clues about the individual, recogniz-ing throughout the process that the final selection is about my feeling or insight about the person. I trust intuition more than conscious knowing at this stage. I like the phrase, “Be willing not to know”. I allow the composition of person and things to naturally unfold. I do at least one digital photo shoot and take many pictures, all along, allowing the interaction between me and the model to simply happen without limit-ing any aspect of my initial impulse. Then I study the images. Usually there is one image that I connected with during the shoot that often becomes the basis of the painting.

Can you share with me a little bit about how you first were introduced to caring for animals and how this eventually led to the studying veterinary medicine?

John:I worked as a field engineer in Santa Barbara before Anette and I pooled our talents and resources to open Lithia Springs Veterinary Care. I love the fact that people and animals lives are intertwined, and being a part reliev-ing suffering and helping enhance these bonds is wonder-fully fulfilling. I didn’t get that feeling with my old career. I’ve never regretted this decision. I suppose I was also influenced when Anette looked at me one morning as said she wanted her own clinic. I could never say no to those beautiful eyes.

What were some of your inspirations and hopes for becoming a veterinarian.Anette:At age ten I was living on a huge old farm in Denmark where we cared for hundreds of animals. I remember one night, a veterinarian came to see a sick horse. He recom-mended euthanasia. My mother refused. My mother and I worked all night and the horse made a full recovery. This is the type of thing that inspires me. John:Anette’s a veterinarian? I thought she said “vegetarian.” When you both first started practicing, what was a real life surprise of running a clinic?John:The most important and harsh thing I learned was to be sure to hire people who share our passion and welfare for animals, share what we stand for and respect the work we do.We have a most incredible, talented, passionate and car-ing team with us today.

how has working in a small community helped you get to know and build relationships with your cus-tomers?John: Many of our customers have become our friends. It keeps us on our toes. This is such a wonderful, tight knit community, we see our customers as our neighbors – which they are. We love it.

What’s the most common issue that people bring

there pets in to see you with:

Cats: In cats we see a lot of fighting wounds that often become infected. Urinary problems are also common. Dogs:We see many patients for arthritis and other mobility problems. I find treating these especially rewarding be-cause the results are so noticeable. Most interesting situation you have ever cared for?Anette:It’s the things that I remove from these patients that I find interesting. The growing list includes cell phones, televi-sion cables, a door stop and diamond earrings. The only thing I haven’t found is homework!

Best pet to have and age to get a pet for your child?John:I think the responsibility of caring for a pet falls on the whole family. A pet will suffer in just one day without wa-ter, or left out in the cold. A child is never to young to be exposed to pets, and a child will often need to be taught to respect their pet. A consideration would be to get them an easier pet to care for in the beginning, such as a rat or guinea pig. Keep in mind that dogs and cats often live for over 15 years, so when your baby leaves for college, the parents are left to assume full care of Fido.

thoughts on Cesar Millan “the Dog Whisperer” ?John:We don’t often get to watch animal shows, but I’ve heard good things about Cesar, so if he drops his Resume off at the office, it will be considered.

5 best pet names you have ever heard?Dug, Hairy, MegaBite, Purr-minator, Your Royal HighnessI also like the two whippets named Frank and Beans!

Share a recent success story with us?Anette:I love helping older pets be comfortable. Recently I treated a new patient who came limping painfully into our office. When he returned last week he bounded into the room, comfortable once again. That made my day.

What’s the most important issue for us as a commu-nity to be aware of in having and taking care of pets and animals?


i am a reader and a movie lover. It’s often a challenge to watch a movie made from a book I read before the movie was even thought of.

i remember really enjoying the book “The Lovely Bones” by Alice Sebold. I was pleased to find that the movie, di-rected by auteur Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) followed the book fairly closely. The movie stars Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) as murdered 14-year-old Susie Salmon, Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz as her grief-stricken parents, and Susan Sarandon as the fabulously characatured beaten-glamour lush grandma.

the movie opens with Susie speaking post-murder, nar-rating the story in her innocent, slightly bewildered ado-lescent voice. This voiceover technique allows us to make and keep a connection with her throughout the film. Susie talks us through her abduction, confinement and murder while follow-ing the drama unfolding within her family and then community.

As a ghost, she has the preternatural ability to be anywhere at any time. She’s doing all this while experiencing a fantasti-cally beautiful, whimsical and lovely post-death, pre-heaven playground, smoothing the hard edges of the death of a child for the audience.

Susie Salmon’s happy nuclear family is ripped apart by her presumed death. (They don’t find her body.) The mov-ie bounces back and forth between the tragedy playing out in real life and the surreal beauty and fun of Susie’s between-the-worlds afterlife. Some of the supernatural scenes are almost silly: Big floppy hats, ‘70’s flower power, psychedelic colors and swirls. Also, we already know she’s dead; there are no plot twists, no suspense, no resolution unless her killer is caught.

the only side story is one of the whispers and possibilities of a first love. Susie is murdered before she and her crush get to have their first kiss. There’s also an outcast, angst-

ridden girl who can see to the other side. This unmatched pair end up finding out more about the murder than anyone else, including the police.

ronan turns in a stellar performance, projecting an inno-cence and carefree youth that underscores the tragic and senseless loss of one so young. She’s anybody’s daughter/niece/neighbor. Her performance is so natural I forgot she was acting, which is always a good sign.

Sadly, the terrific job turned in by Ronan doesn’t por-tend great acting throughout the film. Mark Wahlberg, playing Susie’s tormented, out-of-his-mind-with-grief dad, does his best with the material. Unfortunately, the ‘70’s just don’t play well today, at least not in this form. He looks a little uncomfortable with that shaggy hair and polyester clothes. And Rachel Weisz, for all her natural, if

unusual, loveliness, tries hard to counterbalance Wahlberg’s violent grief with her arms-crossed, concerned-but-not-apparently-devastated mom turn. Rose McIver plays her younger sister, sharpening the loss felt by the family and providing the one brave, dramatic action step that begins to crack the case open.

the real scene stealer is Susan Sarandon, playing to perfection the ste-reotypical faded beauty

turned smoking drunk, while being the only adult char-acter to really express emotion that seems appropriate to the fact that there’s a much-loved daughter missing.

this is an unusual story, told well in the book, translated into a movie with only mild success. As a film afficianado, I can find virtue in most films, and this one is no excep-tion. The real star is, fortunately, the real star of the story. Ronan carries the movie herself for a good part of the movie, giving me something to look forward to as this young actress grows and stretches and develops her natural talent even more. Worth watching if you just love movies. If you’re looking for a fine feature film I’d recom-mend skipping this one.

VernerMeeting again with the model, we talk about his or her responses to the photos. The response of the model is probably the most informative aspect of this process. It tells me about what is growing here. It becomes a collaboration of expression. I have learned to allow and encourage this open interaction. After determining the final image, the painting becomes a production process of making the drawing, correcting the forms, build-ing the visual composition, priming the board, transferring the image to the board and then the joy of paint-ing the picture. The final image is still open to changes in the painting process. In my art much of the creative event happens before any paint is squished out of the tube.

One of the next things i noticed about your paintings was that many of the models were people that i recognized as being from around town. this was interesting to me because there was a sort of intimacy i felt in actually having this occur for me. Often times you really have no idea who the artist was paintings and here we see our neighbors. Can you comment on this?

Daniel Verner: I really like people and painting portraits of them is a reward in itself. I enjoy people seeing my local art shows and being surprised to see some people they know around town, exclaiming, “There’s Inna !”or “That’s

Tiazza,” or “Greg”. There is a story about Velazquez, the Spanish artist, who when in Italy was not known for his work in Spain. To gain recognition he painted a very compelling portrait of his assistant and then went around Rome having his assistant hold the painting while he introduced himself, there by demonstrating his skill. I am not exactly doing that. It is a joy for me when people recognize the person in the painting, but the greatest sense of accomplishment comes when some-one expresses that I have caught the spirit of the person who modeled. I also feel an almost animistic relation-ship with the objects selected for the paintings. For me every element, even in a still life painting without a person, is about the human connection and history of the objects selected. People tend to be a central theme within each of your paintings.

Farm FreshWhat brought your group of farmers together?Chris hardy (Ch): We wanted to see if we could make small-scale agriculture more viable and resource-efficient through collaboration—sharing marketing, equipment, planning, labor and purchasing. The current economic reality is inequitable for farmers. Together, we can achieve more with less, and serve customers better by providing more diverse items.

What are your farming methods and philosophy? how does this benefit us?Matt Suhr (MS): Our methods start and end with the soil. Maintaining its integrity is key to a healthy biore-gion and soil food web. Though none of us own the land we farm on, we steward it as if it were going to be grow-ing food for future generations. We use organic and permaculture techniques, are adapting plant varieties to our bioregion and are saving seeds, ensuring long-term food security and a healthier planet. Our goal is to sell what we grow locally, keeping dollars in our economy and providing local fresh food that’s more healthful and alive, and tastes incredible.

What’s the scoop on your CSA program?Quinn Barker (QB): The CSA lasts 20 weeks, with boxes available every Friday from June 4th to October 15th. We offer two CSA box sizes: Family share for $560 (3-4 people) and Single share at $360 (1-2 people). There are two pickup points in Ashland, with more to be added. We also offer delivery for an additional $5 per week.

What can a CSA subscriber expect to savor? What if i’ve never heard of the veggies i get?Michael DiGiorgio (MD): CSA members will receive a delicious bounty, changing as the seasons evolve. This includes many varieties of beets, carrots, lettuce, eggplant, spinach, tomatoes, onions, beans, peas, squash, garlic, peppers and herbs. We’ll also offer farm up-dates and recipes on our website to help members enjoy their produce fully.

how do ‘Farm bucks’ work?Matt Suhr (MS): Farm Bucks are pre-paid vouchers that can be spent with our Collaborative’s farmers, at our farms or our stands at the Ashland Growers

Markets. They’re available in increments of $50, with a discount of 10% through April, and 5% thereafter.

how will partnerships with other farms and produc-ers expand your offerings?Chris hardy (Ch): We’re working with additional farms and value-added producers to offer fruit, eggs, mush-rooms, bread, dairy, sauces, pickled foods and more great local products.

Why is it important to support local farms?Chris hardy (Ch): Our community’s health depends upon this. With less than 3% of our food supply grown in the Rogue Valley, unprecedented global political and economic challenges facing us, and food safety issues increasing through consolidated, industrial agriculture, it’s time we bring it back HOME, to the farm.

Quinn Barker (QB): We also need land stewardship that considers the development and conservation of soil fertility to be of the highest good, recognizing this priceless resource.

What are the challenges you face as young farmers in the rogue Valley?Matt Suhr (MS): Our biggest need is affordable farm-land, especially land that will be maintained for agri-cultural use. As long as land is seen as a commodity it’s never safe from development for short-term gain. We may get offers from land owners to farm on their prop-erties, but who don’t share our vision. Ideally, a land

owner would make a long-term commitment to keep land in sustainable agricul-ture use for 100 years or more. Ron Roth at Eagle Mill Farm did this by putting his farm into a Conservation Easement, a great example.

Where to Eat

how many times have you come out of a movie, play, dance event or lecture late at night, hungry with no place to go? Next time this happens to you, remember The Wild Goose. They’re on the far east end of town at 2365 Ashland St. next to the I-5 interchange, and well worth the short drive. They’re open everyday from 6am – midnight, so whenever hunger strikes, they’re ready to satisfy.

The friendly staff awaits you with the choice of a dozen seats along the counter, a handful of tables, and numerous cozy booths. On my last visit I shared the restaurant with a younger couple whispering in a corner, some friends having a girl’s night out, a pair of ranchers, and two families with kids. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. You’re welcome to take your time here, and with a wide ranging menu the Wild Goose offers up something for everyone.

Breakfast is served from 6am-2pm and I’m told that its the busiest time of the day. They serve eggs, pancakes, french toast, omelets and various scrambles. If breakfast just isn’t complete without a Bloody Mary or Mimosa on the side, this is your place! Prices for breakfast range from $5-13.

Lunch rolls out at 11am and this is the menu you can order from all the way to closing time. It offers 10 varieties of salads, a few soups, chili, hot and cold sandwiches, burgers, chicken and fish tacos, and the perennial

chicken fried steak. They have numerous versions of Boca burgers for the vegetarian crowd. Lunch menu prices range from $5-13.

Dinner is served from 5pm-11pm with the last hour of the night reverting back to the lunch menu. Your choices for dinner include 4 pasta dishes including smoked salmon linguine and chicken piccata, 3 steaks, pork tenderloin, chicken, salmon, oysters, scallops, and prawn dishes. All entrees are served with soup or salad, sauteed veggies, and a hot sourdough roll baked locally by La Baguette. In fact, the menu proclaims that “Whenever possible, we use local and northwest products”. They make good on that claim throughout their offerings. Daily dinner specials include items such as blackened red snapper and seafood pot pie. Dinner prices range from $14-20.

The Wild Goose serves up 8 creative appetizers including roast garlic and brie, beer-battered prawns, and house-smoked salmon mousse. They have a substantial wine list, numerous bottled and on-tap beers, and an inventive bevy of specialty drinks with names like “Nutty Irishman” and “Hot Buttered Hazelnut”. Not to be missed are the homemade dessert standards along with another handful of daily dessert specials. They even blend up a choice of fresh fruit smoothies if that’s your pleasure!

Wild Goose Continued from Page 9

For dinner I ordered the petite flatiron steak. The soup of the day was creamy chicken tarragon with rice. It was delicious! A large serving of their many homemade soups makes an excellent late night snack or a meal in itself for the less-than-famished. The steak arrived cooked just as requested. The sauteed veggies were perfectly prepared retaining plenty of crunchiness, and the garlic mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy; no potato skin shards here! I topped it off with a slice of apple crumb pie and a hot buttered hazelnut

drink that inspired visions of family gatherings, cabins in the woods, and roaring fireplaces.

So, the next time you’re wondering where to go for a change of pace (a slower one), or its late at night and most other restaurants have already shuttered their doors, the folks at The Wild Goose are ready to serve. Take a road trip (of the mind) to a place where the food is fresh and the folks are friendly. The Wild Goose – comfort food at its finest!

her back and leg rubs especially after long summers of farmwork. “Even a short massage made such a difference each day in my strength to do the hard work of detassling corn, row after row on the farm and later in life, I realized the deeper bond of love and appreciation it gave me for my mother.” she remembers, “and now in her 80’s, she likes me to give her mas-sages, too!” Where can people learn more about infant massage and how have you per-sonally been involved in helping infant massage get more established around the world? Our Southern Oregon Certified Educators of Infant Massage are listed under the connections box on www.southernoregon-birthconnections.com for parents to find an infant massage class in their area. Contact them to register for classes and in Ashland there are classes each month at Ashland Community Hospital Birth Center, call 541-201-4210 to register there.

The USA chapter website at www.infant-massagusa.org is a great resource for na-tional information on health benefits, and for finding parent/baby class instructors by state, trainings for instructors and links to medical updates and with the International Association of Infant Massage, hq Sweden at www.iaim.net for worldwide learning. Infant Massage USA is the official chapter of the International Assoc. now teaching in over 40 countries worldwide.

When I became an International Trainer with this unique organization, I was living in Belgium for 14 months and had the op-portunity to mentor under trainers from Sweden, UK, Canada and the USA. It was an extraordinary experience which I feel very fortunate to be able to bring to our communities in the Pacific NW and other states after coming home in 2006. What has inspired you to become involved with teaching infant massage around the world? For me, it began with my son who had colic and a lovely midwife showed me how to relieve that condition with a few simple strokes. With both my children, I learned from them how this simple, nurturing touch of massage improved their health and sense of well-being in the world. In my own little world, I realized like many mothers, that this meant the same thing for all the world, a place of peace and caring well for

one another with more sleep and less cry-ing. So it made sense to me that this was a necessary part of life to create peaceful societies, too. After doing more research about mas-sage, I finished massage school, became a licensed massage therapist for 13 years now, and learned as much as I could for all ages and conditions. In 1997, when I found there were others, like Vimala McClure, the founder who wrote the first textbook called, Infant Massage, a handbook for Loving Parents, I was amazed and inspired to find an entire international organiza-tion growing rapidly in so many other coun-tries! So, I leaped at the chance to become involved in what I realized was the first and most fundamental family tradition of strong communication through nurturing touch and I have seen the incredible changes for peace it has created firsthand!

Can you tell us a little bit about the his-tory of infant massage? For centuries and today, people live in tribes and groups where women hold babies next to them in slings and packs and touch is constant. Every member of the vil-lage has a role in the survival of the people and helps to care for the babies. Infant massage is thought to have been handed down from mothers to daughters before recorded history as it has been recorded history in medical journals and books since ancient Greece. Infant massage exists as a common practice among the oldest cultures in the world today from Australia to India to Sweden. Hippocrates, the father of medicine wrote: “The physician must be experienced in many things but assuredly in rubbing…For rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is too rigid.” Doctors and nurses in Europe and Asia are still largely trained in massage and teaching infant massage more with our International Association.

how might infant massage help with postpartum depression and or colic?

As the parent massages their baby, oxy-tocin, relaxin and other hormones are released in both their bodies which relieves depression naturally. With colic, the tummy strokes relieve the congestion and gas com-monly associated with colic and again the hormonal and muscle tension releases can aid other discomforts.

Michael DiGiorgio (MD): Working capital is also a challenge and that’s why we do CSA’s. When people buy CSA shares, they reserve a share of the harvest and provide working capital to buy compost, seeds and equipment. So, please support your farmers and buy into CSAs!

Can people volunteer? Are you planning events? Liz Blanco: Our farms have diverse volunteer needs. Interested folks can contact our farms. Throughout the season we’ll host family friendly work parties, potlucks and celebrations so our community can get to know their farms, farmers and soil

Sascha Meier: We’ve also teamed up with Farm to Fork Events, which seeks to provide unique culinary

experiences and reconnect people to the source of their food. We’ll be hosting benefit dinners on local farms, featuring freshly harvested foods prepared by local chefs, with proceeds supporting our Collective and other area food organizations.

10. How can people get information and sign up for your CSA and Farm Bucks?

John:Wow. That is a big question. The biggest issue for any community is to simply know that there is a sad equation that takes place every day. Each week, people breed ani-mals for profit while Jackson County Animal Control kills animals because of over-population. This heartbreaking cycle can be broken as more people choose to get their new pet from a rescue group such as FOTAS, C.A.T.S., Southern Oregon Humane Society, Dogs for the Deaf, or Petfinder, which is on the internet. There are also “Breed Specific” rescue groups if you have your heart set on a certain type of animal.Sometimes choosing the right pet can make the care

much easier.There is a huge difference in the personality and needs of different breeds. Getting a pet that is a personality and lifestyle match is most important.Also it’s good to be prepared for a few challenges. A new puppy may feel like your carpet is a splendid place to pee, and your new cat may decide your slippers need to be attacked… while you’re still wearing them.

What are some of the benefits to babies and mothers who give and receive infant massage? In addition to the physical benefits, massage can help babies sleep longer and deeper and so, parents sleep better, too. Massage promotes 2-way communication skills, bonding and secure attachment, respect and love. Trust is the main psychological foundation of the first year of life that infant massage builds between the mem-bers of a family. It builds confidence and self-esteem for parents and babies and healthy bodies to improve nerve, respiratory, digestive, muscular functions and all physical systems.

how old should the baby be to get a massage? Massage can start in the first moments of life, gentle little rubs just as the fluids and movements massaged the baby constantly in the mother’s womb. It can build com-munication skill and understanding from the very begin-ning. Most parents are ready to take a class after the first few weeks or maybe months depending on the baby. Traditionally, it is good to learn as soon as possible to be-come part of daily routine, easy and responsive to baby. Massage can be learned at any time though classes for infants are usually from birth to one year before babies become mobile and want to move around to visit with everyone during class!

Can you describe some simple techniques that a reader could practice at home with their baby?

We teach about simple still touch which means placing your relaxed, warm hands on the baby and remaining calm and relaxed; helping everyone to relax. Also, we watch baby’s cues for permission and their body lan-guage that tells us if they are ready for a massage. Touch relaxation is a common kind of technique that follows still touch with a positive response of soft words, sounds, smiles, and looks that

Can you share a little bit about how massage allows parents to work with a baby so that it’s not a strug-gle? In following the body language, massage becomes an elegant dance of life, of caring and love with respect to the entire person. Babies tell us in one way or another exactly what they want, by a certain movement, cry or sound for each thing until they learn whatever lan-guage we speak. When we learn their first language of touch and they learn ours in the exchange of massage, it creates a lasting bond and connection for life. I have watched families who are then able to understand each other on a deeper, easier level for all behaviors, emotions and needs even through the terrible twos or threes or teens!

Can you share a little bit more about parents becom-ing aware of a babies q’s ?Many times after learning massage, a parent has turned to me with a look of amazement or even stunned and proudly said, “I knew what he/she (baby) was trying to tell me!” That makes my day! After even a few weeks of practice, they come back each week of class and tell me what they noticed, when baby’s behavior state tells them they are ready for the massage or something else, when baby was done with just one part of the massage or wanted the whole rou-tine and how they knew it. It’s so great to watch their learning about each other so well.

What does it mean for a baby to be engaged? When a baby is in their quiet, alert state which, depend-ing on their age in weeks can be short and/or many times a day, they can relax easier than when they are actively exploring things. This state shows us that they are ready to learn massage and when they are engaged they show us by eye contact, open body language and cooing sounds often, too.

Share a little bit about babies crying and massage? It is well researched in medical institutions that when babies under six months of age are picked up within 90 seconds of beginning to cry, they cry less in intensity and for less time which actually protects their heart health from too much stress. Crying is often the only way they have to tell us something is wrong when their basic need of relieving some discomfort is not being met. This dis-comfort may be more than physical needs but emotional stress and tension after too many physical discomforts throughout the day have overwhelmed them. Not so different from adults, massage can relieve both physical and emotional stresses at the same time for us and for them.

You also established an infant Massage chapter in Belgium, can you share a little bit about this? While I was living there in 2004, and with the visiting Canadian trainer’s list of certified instructors, I organized the initial meetings to bring them together. We put our heads and hearts together and after two meetings, elev-en lovely Belgian infant massage instructors filed for a non-profit association status with their government and began the Association Belge de Massage pour Bebe, french speaking chapter now 100 plus members strong of the International Association. Our USA chap-ter of this Int’l Assoc. follows the same purpose: “to pro-mote nurturing touch and communication through train-ing, education and research so that parents, caregivers and children are loved, valued and respected throughout the world community.”

Please share a little bit about your involvement with the North Medford high School teen parent pro-gram?One of the students contacted me last fall about do-ing her senior project on infant massage. She and another student parent organized classes that I have been teaching at their CDC, child development center with teen parents and their babies which is the most progressive program supporting students parenting education that I have ever seen. Her hope is to continue the infant massage program as part of their training to improve parenting skills for their future. I have offered her a scholarship to become a certified infant massage educator at the next training in Ashland in March.

Any last thoughts you would like to share with our readers?Many great people in our world have spoken of knowl-edge as power, of the importance of applied education. I can’t think of anything more important than learn-ing how our human body works and communicating health by touch with nurturing massage. We are so much more than any of the machines we can make or use and I appreciate this everyday that I am learning about staying in touch with our amazing humanity. I am especially grateful to all the teachers I have learned from, especially the babies! the next infant Massage uSA educator certification training in Ashland is March 25, 26, 27 & 28 and is open to anyone over 18 yrs of age who wants to teach parent/baby massage classes. infant Massage uSA trains most of our country’s staff persons at early head Start, healthy Start, Parents as teachers, and other social/educational programs, public and private school teachers, LMtS, Nurses in OB, NiCu, Doctors, Ots, Pts, grandparents and foster parents to name a few. this program qualifies many medical professions with continuing education credit hours for their licensing requirements.

Verner Continued From Page 6

What catches your attention when you are watching someone. Describe the moment when you go “Yes” that’s it!

Daniel Verner: Someone once recom-mended to beginning writers that they write about what they know. For me, I paint what is in my world view. I see many people that would be very inter-esting for a painting, maybe everyone. Everyone I meet has an intriguing story and beauty of some kind. I could paint everyone if there were enough time. So in reality I have to select based not only on who is available and willing, but who also evokes an emo-tional response in me that inspires. The people that I approach about modeling for a painting have some combination of ap-pearance, bearing, and, most impor-tantly, a vibrant life energy that is both compelling and attractive to me. This is not a gender specific draw. This encompasses not only people who catch my attention, but also the many varied objects that amaze me with their shapes, colors and functions. I gravitate to old and unusual props. The objects are always things that have had some life to them. By that I mean, they have been pre-owned and served a function in someone’s life.

Daniel, You’ve been doing art all of your life. You had shared with me in our interview that growing up poor had given you an opportunity to be creative. Can you say more about this?

Daniel Verner: In the early years of my childhood there were five of us children at home. I slept in a small bed-room with my older three brothers in two sets of bunk beds and my little sis-ter slept in my parents’ bedroom. We learned how to entertain and amuse ourselves without spending money. When I started making art I had few

resources. Sometimes I would get can-vases from thrift stores, reverse them, prime them with gesso and paint on the other side. Some of my early work still has these paintings started by oth-ers on the back side. I also learned to apply the paint in very thin layers as it was expensive and precious.

You also had men-tioned that sometimes you paint at 3am in the morning, or between quick lunch breaks

from your job. Do you have a ritual or routine for painting?

Daniel Verner: Good question. My wife, Carolyn, says that I am one of the most focused and driven people she knows. I just really enjoy what I’m doing. I often do what I call “stealing time”, which can mean middle of the night drawing/painting sessions . To have a full time job, play music several times a week, do all the things that modern life requires, have a fulfilling marriage and make large, detailed paintings it takes at least two of me. I do let a lot of the life maintenance things go and no TV, except movies.

You also play many instruments and can often be seen at many of the local restaurants playing. how long has music been a part of your life and where does this inspiration

come from?

Daniel Verner: Music is the other pas-sion that has been with me all my life. The music I now play is mostly inter-national folk. I play songs and dances that are very old and in a traditional style. I perform on the Spanish Guitar, Russian Balalaika, Greek Bouzouki, Turkish Oud, and several other stringed instruments. I now perform two nights

a week at Pasta Piatti and often perform with the Sunday morning group at the Key of C coffee house in Ashland. Performing music is a more instant gratification for me than painting. The people are there and the sharing is in the moment of doing it. I love per-

foming live and especially for small children, who just can’t sit still as they have not yet been convinced to sit still and be quite. They are a real joy.

Do you paint in your sleep?

Daniel Verner: Interesting question, I actually do my best work while sleep-ing. It goes very fast and is always extremely successful. Then the alarm goes off, the masterpiece vanishes and it’s back to work.

Currently you have a show at Pangea in Ashland. Another thing i was drawn to was the frames that you used to display you work. Can you tell me more about these frames?

Daniel Verner: I generally find my frames at yard sales or thrift stores. I have an inventory of them in my studio. When I begin a painting I already have the frame for it. As the painting progresses I often put the canvas or board into the frame, so the two merge together and complement

each other. The frame is a part of the finished work from the beginning.

Can you talk about humanity in reference to your current series of paintings titled the Call?

Daniel Verner: The Call series is about people and the objects we create and utilize. It started with a 1920’s tele-phone. I picked it up because of its shape and design. While holding this solid object with weight, mass, and function, I began thinking of all the life that had gone through it in its time of service. I thought of the people who received birth and death notices; the couples who fell in love talking for hours; the important life messages, emergency calls, all the human life over time. This understanding of the connection between people and objects has expanded to many other objects, mostly older items; things that were made to last.

Earlier I referred to my 2001 series “The Religious Series” as Post-Modern. For me it was basically about art refer-encing art, which is typical of much contemporary art. Images are ap-propriated, changed, or transformed from pre-existing work, all adding to the ever growing art conversation. This was a fun way to share thoughts on our culture and behaviors. “The Religious Series” was art speaking to the viewer. What has changed for me in the current “The Call” series is that the art listens, asks questions and, my hope is, creates a conversation with the viewer. I enjoy a wide range of creative painting styles. My personal style of painting would be called representational narrative, defined as an artistic image or likeness that has a story. It is my hope that the viewers of my art work create their own stories while enjoying the painting that is of-fered.

Any last comments or messages to the community? Daniel Verner: Maybe just to en-courage all of us to breath deeper, give more love, understanding, and compassion to one another, the same requirements for any relationship to be successful.
