A Lewisian Year

Presented in partnership with the Lewisia Communications Board and Lewisia Public Library

Sponsored by The Historical Society

Hello, readers, listeners, and psychic osmosizers! Welcome to A Lewisian Year, a monthly showcase celebrating the rich culture here in the Lake Lewisia district. Each month, we'll highlight some seasonal events, local celebrations and interpretations of national and world holidays, and historical tidbits.

JULY

Firebird Eggs

It's a blazing hot day in the deep of summer, and you, unfortunately, have to go outside. If you were lucky, you would be headed to the lake, where the water keeps the ambient temperature a little lower, or into the woods, where the closeness of the air is offset by the relief of shade. But no. You're headed out to the Hawberry Flats area on the northeast of town, where a spread of glacier-flattened prairie gives the sunshine ample room to bake the grass and the people golden brown.

As you walk, relishing every small patch of shade that crosses your path, you notice a bush up ahead. It's small, and tangled with undergrowth around the base, and gently smoking. You blink and rub the sweat from your eyes. It's probably just heat haze, you think. When you look again, the smoke seems a little thicker, curling steadily upward in the still air.

You get closer to investigate, leaning to look inside. A pulse of heat washes up into your face. Down at the base of the bush, there is a nest built of grass and small sticks--built of tinder--and heaped up around the edges like a well-made campfire. There, in the heart of the fire-to-be, is a single, deep red egg. As you watch, it jostles side to side. And then...it ignites, flame bursting from a crack where the creature inside has started to break out into the world. A new firebird is born.

Not every summer boasts a hatching like this. No one knows for sure what makes a year right for newborn firebirds. (Firebird, phoenix, and sunbird are all commonly used, more or less interchangeably, though you can get a folklorist or a biologist going for hours on the finer points distinguishing the terms.) Heat, certainly, plays a part. It's thought that the slow, uneven incubation of firebirds has something to do with the availability of resources to support them. Not just any environment can sustain a population of large, intermittently flammable, quasi-immortal avians.

Summer Pests

Of course, not all creatures brought out by the heat are as welcome as newly-hatched firebirds. Heat, lack of water, and rapidly dwindling supplies of plant life can drive any number of small pests into homes and yards at this time of year. While we may have sympathy for their plights, it does become difficult to keep that in mind when you catch something scurrying behind the refrigerator every time you turn on the kitchen lights. Outside of Lewisia, people can expect an influx of flies, ants, and mice if they live anywhere near agricultural areas or open fields. Deserts get their visitations of snakes and scorpions. Here, though, the pests can run a bit more exotic, if not necessarily more hazardous.

Salamanders--the flaming kind, not the aquatic ones--start an estimated ten percent of minor brush fires every year. (The aquatic ones are more notorious for engaging in confidence games and small-time grifting.) Parasitic wasps here include dream- and memory-eating varieties, which can make napping while at the family cookout particularly fraught. Nothing can tear up a garden or lawn like an infestation of wolpertingers, which manage to molt, burrow, build nests, and scrape their antlers on anything that stays stationary longer than two minutes.

A particularly hardy clan of house brownies is said to have domesticated a strain of these chimerical garden pests, which I can only imagine comes as a mixed blessing for the humans sharing homes with them. Contracts with fae are not, in fact, the most exotic method used to manage unwanted wildlife. (Fairy knights jousting against a scorpion are a sight to behold, and may be well worth the sacrifice of blood favors.) Some chemical deterrents are available, but most people focus on making their living spaces less inviting to unwanted creatures. Then there are the homes that lean into the aesthetics of their unplanned tenants: the old Birchhead Manor, following its moat expansion, positively revels in the arrival of a fresh crop of Silent Gillmen (Hyla grendeliana) every spring.

Convention Season

If the outdoors are getting you down, you can always head inside to one of the many conventions taking place this summer. With people taking vacations from school and work and the weather generally stable-if-sweltering, summer is the preferred season for conventions. From international book festivals to small-town catch-all pop culture street fairs, almost anywhere is within reasonable travel of almost any interest's yearly gathering.

If there's one thing Lewisians love, it's any kind of celebration of niche interests and fanatical hobbies. Lewisia has previously hosted the Haunted Doll Collectors Society for their national event, multiple years of Weaver Weekend, and alternate years in a shared custody arrangement with the Ghostly Congress for "Afterlife the Convention." Local businesses enjoy the uptick in visitors and local people-watchers enjoy the free show of attendees going to and from the Event Center.

Plenty of conventions hosted away from Lewisia and her sister cities will still see a number of Lewisian attendees. December and January usually see a rush of organizing groups to purchase hotel room blocks and travel tickets as soon as convention badges go up for advance sale. Some of our local artists regularly tour around these outside conventions' Artist Alleys. Three current residents of Lewisia, in fact, owe their first contact with the town and eventual move here to artists at conventions.

Conventions that welcome cosplayers offer a particular advantage to Lewisians with more unusual body types. There has been an informal competition here in town for many years among non-human and semi-humanoid residents to craft elaborate cosplay costumes that allow them to walk in broad daylight among people who have no idea that ambulatory plants or marsupial darkness exist. Divisions within this competition include:

costumes designed to obscure the body entirely (popular with quadrupeds and others with body plans laid out more on the horizontal than the vertical);

costumes based on fictional versions of real species (werewolves and snake- or fish-based creatures leading the field);

and mundane cosplay that tries to accurately mimic standard human features and forms on non-standard bodies (dominated for three years running by a cephalopodic resident with a special knack for textural camouflage).

This Month in History

July 24th, 1999, is the most recent confirmed sighting of the fairy ball in the Lewisia area. While fairies are, obviously, common sights in Lewisia and elsewhere, the fairy ball is something different. No fairy asked about the subject has ever given an answer that consisted of anything other than bald-faced lies and open scorn for the asker. Those present at the time reported seeing wicker chariots pulled by luna moths, hot air balloons propelled by harnessed bats, and sprays of durable soap bubbles with free-floating occupants. All these and other unusual methods of travel headed west over the forest.

Speculation ran rampant at the time: The ball was being held over the ocean. No, it was on the moon, in the secret moon city. It was in response to the millennium coming to an end. No, it happened every year. It was an ill omen, a promise of coming prosperity, a sure sign of rain, drought, or wind, and a "rotten nuisance" to stargazers trying to enjoy a clear night. No one could agree on any of the details, except that it had been seen. A few individuals have claimed to have been spirited away to the fairy ball, though such a story is impossible to prove. All but one acknowledge being eventually returned after the event. The remaining one insisted xie still resides in the secret moon city and politely inquired after my comfort in the moon atmosphere when I interviewed xem.

That's a taste of what July has to offer us. See you next month, when August brings the first harvests and a definitely-not-fictitious return to school.

Acana vs Orijen

https://www.centralparkpaws.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/417WUUX2vAL.jpg As someone who feels that dogs are the best part of life, I’m surrounded by other dog fanatics.

We all talk about our pups, dress them up, and compare parenting stories to learn from each other.

Over the years, I’ve heard plenty about different dog food brands. They all come with their own pros and cons, but two companies that often get brought up are Acana and Orijen.

I always want to learn more about how I can help my dog and even my friend’s dogs, so I’ve done a little research into what these two companies have to offer that their competitors don’t.

Here’s what I found.

This isn’t the first time we’ve put Orijen up against another dog food. How did they compare with Taste of the Wild?

Acana’s Company History

Acana was started by the Weber family in the Czech Republic in the early 1990s.

They wanted to create a food that matched a dog’s evolutionary needs, specifically when it came to their protein.

As they grew, they developed a passion for finding ingredients that were sustainably grown or caught, and delivered by people they knew.

Everything had to be either fresh or raw.

Their focus on biologically accurate nutritional needs makes these their top selling products:

Acana Duck and Pear Singles Formula

Acana Lamb and Okanagan Apple Singles Limited Ingredient Diet Formula

Acana Free-Run Poultry Heritage Formula

In 2018, they won the Pet Business Industry Recognition award for their high quality production and products.

Orijen’s Company History

Orijen was owned and started by the same people who started Acana.

They operate under the Canadian brand Champion Pet Foods, which means that Orijen’s history is nearly identical to that of Acana.

They also focus on nutrients that meet a dog’s biological needs. The only difference is that they have a higher quantity of foods that feature more fresh meat and fish.

Their best selling products are:

Orijen Chicken Based Senior Dog Food (Our review)

Orijen Biologically Appropriate Adult Dog Food

Orijen Grain-Free Puppy Food

In 2017, Orijen won the Eco Excellence Awards for their sustainable dog food ingredients and products.

Concerning Recalls

While many customers are happy with the products they buy, consumers in Florida, Minnesota, and California sued the parent company Champion Pet Food in early 2018.

They alleged that the company had violated “feed law” along with various other charges.

Specifically, the lawsuit claimed that food from Acana and Orijen had levels of cadmium, arsenic, lead, and mercury that are known to cause harm to dogs. They also claimed that there were high levels of BPA in the food.

In February 2019, a judge ultimately dismissed the case, stating that there was a lack of evidence that there were harmful metals in the dog food.

While the consumers involved in the lawsuit argued against this ruling, the judge decided the level of metals did not exceed the limitations laid out by the Mineral Tolerance of Animals study conducted by the National Research Council in 2005.

What’s Important When Choosing a Dog Food?

The most important things you can do when choosing which food to feed your dog is to give yourself time to research the food and then watch how your dog reacts to it.

Here are a few key pieces of information you can study when reading about potential dog food brands.

Ingredients

Photo by Tambako the Jaguar (CC BY-ND 2.0)

What ingredients are important for your dog to have?

That will differ depending on their breed. Goldendoodles and German Shepherds will have different dietary requirements.

Bigger breeds with thick coats will need fish oil to maintain their coat, along with their skin and joint health.

You should also make sure the ingredients that are listed first are real. If the first listed ingredient is a filler or meat substitute, then it was made to be cheap and easily produced.

Look for brands that list meats like chicken, beef, or fish first and follow up with vegetables or nutrients like fish oils.

You can also get your dog allergy tested at the vet to avoid any ingredients that may trigger those allergies.

Some common allergy triggers are beef, wheat, dairy, and even soy. An allergy test will be worth it in the long run, since your dog won’t have to figure out their allergies on their own.

Price

Initially, you may feel like the price of your dog food can take a back seat.

After all, it’s more important that your dog eats the best food they can get.

Remember that you’ll be buying dog food often, especially if your dog is a puppy or a larger breed.

Will you be able to pay the price with your monthly budget? You’ll need something sustainable for your long-term financial goals.

Availability

How do you plan to get your dog food?

If you live in a large city, you might not mind driving a few streets down to pick up the food after work, but not everyone can do that.

See which brands are available at your local stores or even for delivery.

Having the option to pick up the food or get it delivered will be a game changer. Life is unpredictable and you never know when your schedule might change.

Taste

Read reviews and pay attention to how owners describe their dog’s reaction to the food.

It may have all the needed ingredients, but that doesn’t mean it’ll taste good.

Ultimately, you’ll only know what your dog likes if they try the food, but gauging how other dogs have reacted through reviews and comments will help you narrow down your options.

Comparison of Acana vs Orijen

Since Acana and Orijen have the same parent company and similar foods, how can you choose?

Here are how the key comparison features size up against each other.

Ingredients

Winner: Orijen

Beyond their mission to make biologically appropriate food, Acana has five rules for their products:

They must be protein rich and focused on meat.

The meat has to be extremely fresh.

There must be a large variety of meat for consumers to choose from.

There has to be a balance of meat, bone, organs, and cartilage that mirror what a dog would eat in the wild.

All fruit and vegetables must be fresh, too.

Acana doesn’t believe in using foods like potato, rice, and tapioca, since dogs wouldn’t normally be able to access these foods on their own in nature.

Orijen is made in the same way, with one key difference:

The formulas for Orijen products contain 85 to 90 percent meat and fish, while Acana only has 50 to 75 percent meat and fish ingredients.

Dog owners looking for more of a meat-based formula should browse Orijen products over Acana’s.

Because Orijen has more meat based protein in its products, I would prefer this brand over Acana.

While they’re both made with sustainably sourced and fresh ingredients, featuring more meat makes Orijen’s products more true to their motto of a naturally found diet in the wild.

However, the highest protein content may not be suitable for overweight dogs which need to lose weight.

Price/Value

Winner: Acana

Once again, the similar ingredients in these two brands make the prices and value similar across their products.

Consumers have noted though that Orijen typically costs more than Acana, because of its more costly meat ingredients.

If you’re looking for a brand that’s budget friendly, Acana will be the one you want to look at.

Prices will fluctuate across stores and websites, but because it will typically cost less than Orijen’s products.

Availability

Winner: Orijen

These two brands are sold at chain pet stores like Petco and specialty locations like groomers, training, or veterinary offices.

Both websites have location maps where you can enter your address and find the nearest store that sells the brand you’d prefer.

They’re also available to order online, which makes it hard to pick a winner.

This one will have to be left up to personal choice. See which brand is more available near you or through a website you prefer.

Our favorite pet-food website is Chewy.com. You can find Orijen there but not Acana, so the edge goes to Orijen.

Taste

Winner: Orijen

The taste for either of these brands will differ depending on your dog.

More people say their dogs love the taste of Orijen.

There must be something about having a higher meat content that changes the flavor into something dogs can recognize and enjoy.

Giving Orijen a try first may seem like the best way to go when it comes to taste.

Look through the types of food they have and see if any match ingredients that your dog is most used to, like chicken or beef.

X Factor

Winner: Both

What every dog owner should stop to think about is what the company is doing that may be the next brand of dog food they trust.

Champion Pet Foods is winning awards left and right, so they’re clearly onto something good.

Along with being voted Best Brand by the national American Choice Awards, they’ve won 18 other awards.

All of these major wins celebrate their formulas, innovation, and diligent staff. Because Champion Pet Foods produces both Acana and Orijen, this X factor works in favor for both brands.

Overall

Winner: Orijen

Orijen scores higher in both taste and ingredients, so you should check out that winning brand first to see what they have to offer.

While it is the more expensive brand of the two, it’s priced higher for a reason—it has a higher quality.

Conclusion

Personally, I’m going to keep Orijen in the back of my mind the next time Maggie needs a change in food. I trust their stellar reputation and their mission statement.

If it gets too pricey, I’ll just get a comparable Acana product when my budget gets tight.

Chefs+Tech: The Tricky Business of Comparing Delivery Apps

Grubhub sends more orders to restaurants daily than any other service. Grubhub

Skift Take: You can't judge the success of a food delivery app by counting the number of users who simply open the app.

— Kristen Hawley

Editor’s Note: In September we announced that Skift was expanding into food and drink with the addition of the Chefs+Tech newsletter. We see this as a natural expansion of the Skift umbrella, bringing the big-picture view on the future of dining out, being fanatically focused on the guest experience, and at the intersection of marketing and tech.

Bonus: We now publish C+T every Monday and Wednesday.

Comparing Apples to Oranges, or: UberEats to Everyone else

A slightly misleading headline from Eater recently extolled UberEats, comparing the service with other top mobile-order delivery companies GrubHub, Caviar, and DoorDash. Instead of comparing the number of orders delivered (or total dollar amount spent, or any other metric touting actual orders), the comparison of monthly active users (MAUs) refers to unique people who opened the mobile app any time during one month. This is standard practice in the tech world, and a good way to measure engagement with a content app like Twitter, or a product like Evernote. This is less accurate, though, when determining the popularity of a delivery service. While the article itself notes the metrics by which they compare, this comparison is not the best way to determine who rules the market.

Uber is a privately-held company and can keep its metrics close. Grubhub, as a publicly traded company, offers more insight into its business. Specifically: more than 60 percent of Grubhub/Seamless orders are placed through mobile devices. Using the data provided to Eater, we estimate Grubhub’s combined desktop plus app MAUs at closer to 5.9 million. Grubhub also releases its quarterly active diner numbers. In Q1 2017, 8.75 million people ordered from Grubhub, a monthly average of 2.9 million people. By this logic, at least half of the reported monthly active users don’t actually place a food order. Applying this formula to the reported UberEats numbers nets about 4.3 million active diners per month. (Uber did release a website for order placement, but this wasn’t released until Q2 of this year, so does not apply here.) This math includes some assumptions, and I don’t purport them to be these companies’ actual numbers.

UberEats, which does not release numbers, does tout 40,000 restaurant partners in 71 cities — 37 of them in the US — to Grubhub’s 50,000 US restaurants in 1,100 cities. According to a Grubhub spokesperson, “Our more than 324,600 orders per day is more volume than anyone else sending orders to restaurants.” (The spokesperson did not clarify the identity of “anyone else.”)

This is anecdotal evidence at best, but illustrates that comparing food delivery companies, especially publicly-traded vs. privately-held delivery companies, is tricky business. Determining the performance of a company’s app does not translate into tracking the actual business of food delivery. So, sure: comparing unique app opens may be the only way to judge apples to apples. The open rate of an app says something about its marketing, its messaging, its rate of adoption — but in this case does not prove its success.

David Chang on the Challenges of the Business

Speaking of the challenges of delivery, fresh off of Maple’s closure last week, early investor and collaborator David Chang is interviewed by The Ringer, where he talks about many of delivery’s challenges, from what not to deliver (fish) to paying a living wage (it’s complicated). The business of restaurants is established. It changes and evolves and adapts to the current landscape, but it’s established.

The business of delivery, though, is different. It’s growing, changing, morphing into something different entirely. So it’s easy to think a restaurateur as successful as Chang would have it figured out. Instead, he’s vocal about what he doesn’t know: how to delivery great food at a fair price for chef, delivery person, and diner; whether it’s better to hire and maintain a delivery staff (the Maple model) or partner with an existing service (Chang’s Ando uses UberEats). “It’s an extraordinarily difficult business that someone is going to win, and it’s something that I’m really fascinated by. It seems like almost every place delivers food that’s not meant for delivery,” he says. There’s a reason that pizza rules the delivery game, he says — because it’s the perfect delivery dish.

“Shazam for Food” Is Real

Microsoft was recently granted a patent for glasses that track when and what you eat. If this sounds like a ridiculous Hollywood script, it’s because it is — “Shazaam for food” was parodied on a recent episode of HBO’s “Silicon Valley.” (In fact, a few real-life investors went on the record saying the idea could be fund-able in real life a day before the real patent was awarded.) It “includes mixed-reality glasses that can monitor sight, sound, location, temperature, and motion. These sensors help the glasses identify food in front of the wearer and analyze its nutritional content.” It could also help the wearer steer clear of allergens, certain ingredients, or high-calorie foods. Of course, a patent does not equal a product, but still, ha.
