Redmond’s Lighter Than Air Gallery Has Safely Landed! by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, Ph.D. — A&E Feature Writer

nsuspecting as it might be at this particular moment in time, a beautiful apparition in the form of an art gallery has gracefully landed from above and planted itself firmly in Redmond’s Jackpine Court business area, 611 NE Jackpine Ct., Suite #3 to be exact. Please welcome Lighter Than Air Gallery (LTA), the creative enterprise of Darren Kling, founder of Big Sky Balloon Company, and his collaborator, Arlin Ojeda. A walk into Lighter Than Air, mere steps from Porter Brewing Co. (hint, hint!), offers a cultural reprieve from the industry-driven neighborhood that surrounds it. Spacious white walls provide ample breathing room for the landscape-based abstractions of Darren Kling himself. A gorgeous Steinway Grand Piano silently sits at the rear of the gallery, patiently awaiting the improvisational musings of Arlin, a treat to which attendees of LTA’s grand opening on June 19th were privy. Darren’s exhibit, Water & The Rock, is a collection of oil paintings executed using an array of nontraditional techniques. The highly refined, textureless surfaces evolve from a series of thin layers, a process Photo | courtesy of Big Sky Balloon Company that is sometimes additive, sometimes subtractive. Each instance of paint application and removal reveals traces of what had come before, resulting in an accumulation of transparent and opaque into question one’s sense of place. Rather than the aerial perspective one might layers evoking stratification. Clearly influenced by his 27 years as a hot air balloon expect from a balloonist, the artist surprises us with abstract imagery that evokes pilot, Darren’s art invites the viewer to experience a fresh perspective that calls extreme proximity between viewer and subject, a perspective Darren attributes to living within the canyon walls of the Crooked River as well as to floating through them, their immensity consuming one’s entire view as a monumental Abstract Expressionist tableau. Other paintings offer a greater distance between spectator and landscape, where a distinct feeling of groundlessness displaces gravity. Up, up and away! This month’s Cascade A&E cover offers an entirely different perspective from that just described; rather than the bird’s The Opening | Painting by Darren Kling eye view, we have the worm’s eye | July 2020 www.CascadeAE.com 4

view. From a participant in the floating world of Darren’s paintings and actual balloon rides, we now become a spectator, watching from below as the pilot leaves terrestrial life and embraces an adventure of sky and wind. Photographed during the annual Balloons Over Bend event, Darren’s anti-gravity machine visually testifies to his mutual love for ballooning and painting. After executing numerous sketchbook studies to create an image indicative of his high-flying experience and artistic sensibility that also worked with the distortion inherent in the shape of the inflated balloon itself, the artist, wearing a respirator and protective clothing, engaged the painstaking process of image realization. The 432 panel balloon was painted in sections, six-to-seven vertical strips, or gores, at a time with industrial textile ink capable of adhering to its silicone coating. The result of these labors, the Artaloft Balloon, proudly signifies Darren’s capacity to find common ground between art and flight and, perhaps, our human capacity to do so between work and pleasure. Lighter Than Air Gallery represents yet another iteration of this capacity, a unification of Kling’s passions where ballooning and painting merge with his many other talents like wood-working and designing. Through Darren’s efforts, the gallery’s poured concrete floors are now stylishly acid stained and its baseboard trimmed out with reclaimed oak, a hardwood that the craftsman distributes as well as uses to make frames for his art and furniture such as the gallery’s coffee table, end table and shelving. Adjacent to the gallery is Darren’s studio where all the creative and adventurous magic takes place, soon to be enjoyed by creative and adventurous clientele. Imagine a day such as this: A morning gathering of family or friends in LTA parking lot, shuttle service to an unforgettable hot air balloon ride, a return to the gallery to view and perhaps purchase some incredible art or Big Sky Balloon Co. merch, a fine English Ale from Porter Brewing Co. and a tasty bite from the local food cart, both just outside LTA’s door. It’s a beautiful day in the Central Oregon neighborhood! Balancing his many passions, Kling considers LTA Gallery a workin-progress, although one well on its way. Warm, sunny weather in May through October equals ballooning season, and Darren often finds

himself floating high in the sky or low in the canyons with his guests during this time. Although official gallery hours are 10am- 5pm, Monday through Saturday, Darren suggests scheduling an appointment to ensure a warm reception since summer hours may vary as balloon rides take both him and us away. Appointments can be made by emailing lighterthanairgallery@gmail. com or by calling 541-316-0362. Water & The Rock, the gallery’s premier exhibit, continues through September. Lighter Than Air Gallery is excited to join the local arts community and looks forward to creating new partnerships and collaborations that help broaden exposure and create new opportunities in the arts.

Along the Deschutes River Trail, acrylic painting by Barbara Cella

Sage Custom Framing & Gallery 834 NW Brooks St. 541-382-5884 • sageframing-gallery.com Sage Custom Framing and Gallery’s July show features acrylic paintings of Central Oregon’s lakes and rivers by Bend artist Barbara Hudler Cella. No formal reception, by will stay open until 7pm First Friday evening, July 3. Social distancing rules apply. Barbara expresses her intimate connection with the Cascades not only capturing broad expanses of local waterways, but also through close-up studies of currents and calm. She uses the magic of canvas and paint to reveal the unique personalities of area lakes such as Hosmer, Sparks and Scott Lake. Legendary rivers include the Deschutes, the Fall and the Metolius flow across Barbara’s work as broad and colorful waterways. “Painting in the field, or plein air, is my preferred way to capture the wilds,” explains Barbara. “It is very challenging to paint on-site, as the sun is constantly moving, the colors are ever-changing and shadows come and go. There’s the potential for the wind to pick up, removing pristine reflections. But it is the surrender to the elements, the meditation of focus and selective simplification that wins my heart time and time again.” Barbara has been honored with awards from the International Society of Acrylic Painters, the Boldbrush Painting Competition and the Arts North International Competition. She is an active member of the High Desert Art League, Plein Air Painters of Oregon and Sagebrushers Art Society. barbaracella.com Currently open Tuesday-Friday, 10am-4pm by appointment.

Paintings by Katherine Taylor

Tumalo Art Company Old Mill District 541-385-9144 • tumaloartco.com Totem Power, a collection of paintings honoring Katherine Taylor’s totem power animals, opens July 3, from 4-7pm, at Tumalo Art Co. in the heart of the Old Mill District. The Native American term “totem” means a sacred being or object, often symbolized by an animal that is used to guide an individual. Animals that repeatedly show up in a person’s dreams or real-life interactions offer the person wisdom qualities that are unique to that creature. The choice of the “totem” theme for Katherine’s July show turned out to be serendipitous as a global pandemic unfolded throughout the world. “As I painted each animal over these last three months, I drew on the powerful spirit qualities of them to help me cope.” For instance, the totem quality of a lion is said to be courage and strength. The lamb, innocence and forgiveness. A butterfly, grace and the ability to accept change. Each painting became a calming emblem for Katherine as she created it. Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in Bend’s Old Mill District open 10am-7pm, Monday-Saturday, and Sunday, 11am-6pm.

Mockingbird Gallery in Downtown Bend

by KRISTINE THOMAS

erendipity, along with a quest for a new beginning, seem to be the catalysts for the two proprietors’ success of Mockingbird Gallery in downtown Bend. Both founding owner Pamela Claflin and current owners Jim and Nathalie Peterson had reached a pivotal moment in their lives when they decided they needed to take a risk to pursue their goals. For both Claflin and the Petersons, that meant leaving one life behind to begin another, where they could dedicate their

Relaxing Afternoon, 24x20 oil by John Traynor

careers to providing a pathway for fine artists and art collectors to meet while also having a balance in their personal lives. As the Mockingbird Gallery celebrates its 30th anniversary on July 11, Claflin and Jim Peterson shared their individual journeys and their dedication to have a place where everyone is welcome to enjoy the beauty of fine art. The Blank Canvas More than 30 years ago, Claflin found herself becoming increasingly unhappy working as a graphics coordinator for an economic development agency in Washington. After five years at the job, she wanted to do something that would allow her to use her studies of fine art from Russian trained master Delbert Gish. “I pulled a piece of paper in front of me and wrote my goals with goal number one being that I wanted to have an art gallery,” she said. 10 July 2020 | www.CascadeAE.com

The next work day, Claflin gave her notice and proceeded to relocate to Bend, where she worked and saved for five years to purchase The Art Merchant Gallery. Desiring a meaningful name and consulting with her mother, she decided on Mockingbird Gallery. “It’s named after the song, Mockingbird Hill, that my mother and I sang while doing our chores,” she said. She spent four years growing the gallery in Sisters before relocating it to Bend. After managing Mockingbird Gallery for almost 18 years, she wanted to paint full

time. “I didn’t offer the gallery for sale, but I did start watching for just the right person to appear,” she said. She was attending an art show in Montana when her son, Craig, called her to say he thought the person she was looking for was at the gallery. She knew the moment she met Jim and Nathalie they were the perfect match. “I am proud that the gallery has grown to such a great level of artists and pleased that I had a part in it,” she said. Claflin now owns Rimrock Gallery in Prineville. “Our galleries offer different venues and artists, and I believe it’s healthy to have more galleries in the area for visitors and residents to explore,” she said “Mockingbird Gallery will always be the finest gallery Bend has to offer, and I wish Jim and Nathalie years of continued success.”

the gallery in Arizona shaped my passion for art and the gallery business,” he said. “I had a phenomenal hands-on education that was absolutely perfect for me.” Jim said luck and destiny played a role in him meeting Claflin at the perfect time, when she was ready to retire to paint full-time, and he was ready to purchase a gallery in 2007. “I am so fortunate it happened the way it did because we came into the community where we knew no one,” he said. “Pamela is a real pioneer in fine art and what she did helped us with continuing to grow the business.” Jim genuinely loves everything about the art world, from the more than 50 amazing artists from throughout the United States he feels fortunate to represent to the art collectors. “I love the beauty of art, and I am passionate about the art and the people who create the art. Being an artist is an unorthodox career choice and artists cannot survive unless they find allies.” Jim said it’s a symbiotic relationship between the gallery owner, artist and art collector, “We love the role we play to bring the collector and the artist on a path towards each other so they can learn from each other James and Elizabeth Potter stopped by the art gallery in early June to see the newest exhibit. They shared they were a bit intimidated the first time they visited Mockingbird Gallery until they began chatting with Jim. “My background is in engineering, so I really didn’t know anything about art until I met Jim,” said James. “This is my favorite gallery,” Elizabeth added. “It’s uplifting for me to come here and see Jim. He’s so personable and has helped both of us learn more about collecting art.” Jim feels fortunate to be able to share fine art with the Bend and Central Oregon community. “We see people every month who have never purchased art. We enjoy seeing them because we know they are here to enjoy the beauty of the work. We want to continue to be a place to inspire people” Four years ago, the Petersons opened Peterson Contemporary Art, or PCA, in downtown Bend. “Owning a gallery is a challenge because it’s unconventional business,” Jim said. “We have seen galleries come and go especially when the economy is unstable. The challenge is making sure to look at it as a business and run it as a business.” Jim only represents artists who he is passionate about their work and who bring something unique to the gallery. “We are here working for the artists, and I give them my word we will do the best we can for them. “Celebrating 30 years is an amazing milestone for Mockingbird Gallery,” he continued. “We humbly acknowledge the wonderful things done by Pamela to create Mockingbird Gallery, and we look forward to continuing making it stronger for everyone to enjoy.” mockingbird-gallery.com • pcagallery.com

Stephanie Stanley Weaver by JULIA KENNEDY COCHRAN — Red Chair Gallery

o be a weaver means you fill your home with looms, lots of looms. Weaver Stephanie Stanley, whose work is showcased at Red Chair Gallery in July, owns six looms, all of them floor looms and the largest of which is five feet wide. They range from four to 24 shafts or harnesses. The larger the number of shafts, the more patterns you can create. So Stanley needs them all for the different types of scarves, cowls, ponchos, shawls and throws she makes. They take up one bedroom and a sunroom in her house. Stanley weaves her scarves from Tencel, a silky type of rayon that is made from wood pulp (cellulose). Stanley notes that the manufacturing process for Tencel does not release chemicals into the environment. “I try to use materials that are sustainable,” she says. For other garments such as shawls and ponchos, she employs different types of fiber, including organic cotton, wool, silk and bamboo. The results are sophisticated patterns and color combinations that make her creations look smart anywhere. During her career as a workers’ compensation defense attorney in San Luis Obispo, California, Stanley was inspired to take up weaving by a neighbor’s loom. Undoubtedly, she was also influenced by her family’s long tradition in handicrafts: Both grandmothers were skilled in a range of fiber arts and a grandfather taught how to make and engineer spinning wheels at a technical college in Turkey. Both sides of the family were Armenian and emigrated to the United States during the period just before and during the Armenian genocide in Turkey (1915). They settled on the East Coast at first, where the grandfather who engineered spinning wheels became a cabinet maker, but they later moved to Fresno, CA where there is a large Armenian community. That is where Stanley grew up and absorbed an appreciation of old world handicrafts. Unlike most transplants who move to Bend because of its beauty, she and her husband moved to the area in 1998 to help out elderly relatives who lived here. She quickly began to appreciate the area’s attractions and used the colors of the local landscape for her creations. Now the friendships she has made here are particularly important. “Connections of people are different here,” she says. “It’s easier to make friends and stay friends.” Among her connections are the members of the Central Oregon Spinners and Weavers Guild, where she has been a past president and is now vice president. She hopes to participate in the guild’s annual fall show if it is held this year. redchairgallerybend.com facebook.com/handwovensbystephaniestanley

Darren Kling Merges Lived Experience & Philosophy of Life as He Paints a Picture by KENNETH MARUNOWSKI, Ph.D. — A&E Feature Writer

arren Kling is regionally known as the sole proprietor of Big Sky Balloon Co. and somewhat famously known as the first person to fly over Glacier National Park in a hot air balloon. As a balloonist, Darren has been flying low and high for twenty-seven years. Such an unconventional profession has shaped Darren’s perspective in unique ways, ways that those of us who have never and will never experience a hot air balloon ride, especially on a regular basis or as a pilot, can even imagine! Couple such life events with a desire to share them artistically, and the result is sure to be just as unique as the experiences themselves. Such is the case with respect to Darren’s debut at Lighter Than Air Gallery in Redmond where Water & The Rock, his exhibit of landscape-based, abstract oil paintings, unites both his lived experience and philosophy of life as product and process. In Water & The Rock, Darren invites the viewer to consider his or her own perspective in relation to

July 2020 | www.CascadeAE.com

the often uncertain position of the subject matter, ostensibly, as the show’s title suggests, water and rock. A series of about twenty small format oil paintings, some executed en plein air, or outdoors, clearly depict craggy outcrops or singular pinnacles, but it is in Darren’s larger format works that the viewer is more visually challenged with respect to said subject matter. In these paintings, rocky surfaces and passages of water seem to appear but are then effaced by overlapping veils of pigment strewn across the wooden substrate, creating a stratified yet textureless effect. Paint is smeared, squeegeed, sanded, and brushed in thin layers causing foreground and background distinctions to often disappear as transparency and opacity mingle. Fractured surfaces invite investigation; color variations create space. Perhaps most significantly, never does the viewer feel rooted to the earth when viewing these paintings, just as one might expect from a balloonist. Like a specter, one floats, hovering, face-to-face with elemental

nature: rock, water, wind and sky. Until you are able to experience Water & The Rock for yourself, the following interview with Darren may offer some insights into his art and its relationship to his career as a balloonist. We met at Lighter Than Air Gallery, surrounded by the artist’s many works, and chatted again by phone, specifically exploring the connections among art, experience and philosophy of life. Ken: What do you see as the connection between your art and your life as a balloonist, particularly in terms of perspective, artistic or philosophical? Darren: There are a couple different analogies that have come to me over the years, thinking about the two things, life and art. As a balloonist, one of the most common questions I get is, “How do you know where you’re going to land?” My answer: “I don’t.” Ken: That’s rather disconcerting! Darren: Yes, but I draw a parallel between this

arts question and life in general: How do any of us know where we’re going to end up? The best we can do is set our intention for what we want and do our best to get there. Despite our best intentions, however, we can end up somewhere totally different. In my painting, I get started but have no idea where it’s going to end. At some point I just have to step away from it. In ballooning, I’ve got places where I’d like to land, and I do what I can within my power to make that happen. If I end up there, great, but I’m dealing with elements and powers that are much greater than me. The best I can do is work with those things. I’m always seeking a state of flow! Ken: “Flow” seems like an apt metaphor considering your line of work. Darren: As a balloonist, I’m working with the flow of air currents. Winds move at different speeds and directions at different altitudes. I can’t control them, but I can work with them. My control is Kinetic Yin, oil on framed hardwood, 24”x19” by Darren Kling only vertical, and I believe it’s important to relinquish some of that control to greater forces because when you do, discoveries are made, surprises come up. When you’re willing to let go and allow things to happen rather than force things to happen, that’s the state of flow. Ken: Since the landscape is a prominent source of inspiration for your paintings, how does it figure into this notion of relinquishing control, or flow? Darren: The landscape itself greatly affects wind direction. Air travels over the ground as a river does; you can’t see the air but you can see the water. Because of my many years of experience as a balloonist, I know how topographical elements influence wind direction, and I work with them, not against them. Everything is in motion, whether detectable or not. The same goes for painting. I know my materials and remain open to the known and unknown influences that arise during the course of making a painting. I allow the image to emerge. Ken: And what of your title: Water & The Rock? I can’t help but notice that you use the definitive article, “The,” capitalized nonetheless, as if your “Rock” stands for something more than just an element in the landscape, one among many. Darren: Yes, I don’t intend it as a singular thing. I mean it in the plural. “The Rock” stands for all rock. Ken: Kind of like the concept of Everyman in the late 15th century English morality play that stands for all of humanity? Darren: Exactly! It is the universal rock, one of nature’s major elements, that, like water, persists over time yet is subject to the forces of erosion from water and wind. Everything is in relationship, and it is the merging of these relationships that I seek to abstractly suggest in my paintings, capturing, albeit briefly, their state of flow. To view Darren Kling’s paintings, please visit Lighter Than Air Gallery in Redmond, located at 611 NE Jackpine Ct., Suite #3. Appointments recommended; call 541-316-0362 or email lighterthanairgallery@gmail.com. You may also view Darren’s art on his website at darrenklingart.net.

Oxford Hotel Features High Desert Art League Artist for July

Jean Requa Lubin, Presenting the Equine

rowing up in American Samoa and Juneau, Alaska, Jean Lubin found visual inspiration everywhere — from lush jungles and green seas teaming with tropical fish to the unspoiled wilderness of the North and its abundant wildlife. “I was so fortunate to enjoy a childhood in such wonderfully exotic and inspiring places.” And the long-lasting influences of these far-away lands are at the heart of her artistic spirit. With Jean’s family’s next move to Northern Virginia, she found thrilling inspiration in the world of horses and equestrian competition. “I truly think that horses are the most noble and paintable subject.” A juried member of the American Academy of Equine art, Jean especially now enjoys expressing in commissioned portraits the fascinating communication between horse and human. “It’s a profound pleasure to create the image in beautiful oil paint — to preserve a moment in this Chasing The Dream by Jean Requa Lubin particular relationship.” As a member of the High Desert Art League, Jean is pleased to exhibit her equestrian paintings at the Oxford Hotel for the month of July, 2020. Stop by the Oxford Hotel and enjoy her exhibit featuring oil paintings of horses and equestrian sport. jeanlubin.com

Preparing for Summer & Beyond by KARRELLE DIXON, Interim Executive Director — Caldera

he end of the school year and the excitement that comes with preparation for Camp Caldera is a proud tradition that we have upheld for 24 years, but this year will be different for a number of reasons. I am proud to see the resilience of this community during these sad and often challenging times and it is that resilience and belief in the power of creativity that has spurred us all on to find fresh and innovative ways to deliver our programming. Although we won’t be able to host Youth from Portland and Central Oregon in the Cascades at Blue Lake, our team continues to find ways to support our youth and artists. Camp At Home In August, we’re bringing the camp experience to our students at home because even in the midst of all that is going on, we know that opportunities to engage in creativity and connection to a supportive community can be powerful and healing. We’ll explore innovative activities and creative projects live-streamed to students with our incredible mentors and teaching artists. Community Residencies While we will miss having our students at Caldera this summer due to statewide restrictions on overnight camps for youth, Caldera Arts is excited to offer two summer residencies to support black alumni of our Youth and Residency Programs. Full details are posted on our website. Show Up and Show Your Support Nat Turner Project (Melanie Stevens + maximiliano) and Black Art Ecology of Portland (Sharita Towne) are fundraising for a second round of their Portland Relief Programme, which will disburse stipends of $200 each for black, indigenous & POC artists in Portland. They have raised $2,750 so far, and are looking to raise enough to offer another 35 stipends. Donate via Paypal to natturnerproject0@gmail.com.

The public exhibit, continuing through July 31, 2020, marks the gallery’s return to previous business hours of 7am to 7pm. The exhibit is Shelton’s first showing in Bend.

Here’s the Announcement We Hoped We Wouldn’t Have to Make

t is with deep sadness that the staff and board of directors of Sisters Folk Festival announce the difficult decision to postpone the 24th annual Sisters Folk Festival to September 10-12, 2021. We know that this news is very disappointing, and we had hoped to not have to deliver it, but the well-being of our entire community is our primary concern. It’s clear that no matter how much we want to have a festival this September, the scientific and medical fields don’t yet understand enough about how this disease is spread to allow us to safely bring a lot of people together with confidence. We don’t know for sure what phase of opening our state will be in four months from now; it all depends on how these first few weeks of reopening go. Our team explored what types of modifications we might be able to implement so that we could still have a festival this year (Masks? Social distancing? Microsized, assigned venues? A virtual festival?) and, simply put, we just can’t imagine that for you. The very idea of us not seeing your smiles and not hugging our festival family members just doesn’t feel very… festive. We held off on making this call for as long as we could, hoping for a breakthrough that would allow us to proceed with our plans. But we’ve heard from a lot of you

who need to know whether you should reserve your hotel room or book those flights. The time has come to make a decision on the 2020 festival, and with the information available to us today, postponing until next year is the right decision. We are confident that we will be able to retain most of our spectacular lineup of performers for 2021. If you have purchased a ticket for this year’s festival, you should have received an email through Eventbrite Photo | courtesy of Sunriver Music Festival outlining your options, including rolling your tickets over to 2021. Ticket holders will have until June 30 to make a decision; after that all tickets will be automatically transferred to 2021. The dates for next year’s festival are September 10-12 and we absolutely cannot wait. We have more than a year to plan our best festival ever; please stay well so you can be here to celebrate it with us! If you have questions about this announcement, please send us an email at info@sistersfolkfestival.org so that the correct person can respond in the most expedient manner possible. sistersfolkfestival.org

Tragedy, Plague & Pandemic Shakespeare Conquers!

hese are challenging times. And during this particularly challenging age in history, BEAT Children’s Theatre is turning to a man with lots of experience surviving pandemics.... Shakespeare! That’s right! Did you know Shakespeare — and his works — have survived all the crises of the last 400 years? The days of William Shakespeare’s life were shadowed by the brutality of the bubonic plague. A horrible outbreak of the plague hit Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, months after Shakespeare was born, and killed one quarter of the population of the town. He grew up hearing the tales and trails of pandemic. As we are experiencing now, whenever there was an outbreak of the plague in England, public gatherings would be outlawed, gathering places — such as theatres — closed. From 1603-1613, when Shakespeare was at the height of his career, the Globe and all other London theatres were closed for a staggering 78 months — more than 60 percent of the time. Shakespeare and his actors were forced to stay home, unable to perform. And yet, during those years Shakespeare wrote some of his most famous works, all of which we still perform today. BEAT working hard at staying safe while filming and rehearsing for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Photos by Bree Beal and Chloe Leis

BEAT Children’s Theatre is proud to embrace the new challenges of COVID-19 by returning to the Bard, just adding a modern twist! Through the magic of film and

technology, BEAT is bringing the classic Shakespeare play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, to life. Thinking outside the box, BEAT has utilized Zoom calls for rehearsals, small social distanced groups, masks and on-location filming to produce this show. BEAT is excited to share their work! A Midsummer Night’s Dream is directed by Heidi Spiker and assistant directed by Megan Merydith. This duo has taken a cast of 22 actors and has created a safe yet challenging environment so that each actor can bring Shakespeare characters to life. This is also the first time BEAT has done a film production. Heidi and Megan have taken each act and scene, and are filming with the actors so that the end result can be presented in five separate film reels that will debut beginning July 22. As Shakespeare showed that both he and his works could survive pandemics, plagues and tragedy, BEAT is sure that their production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream will prevail through the challenges facing the world now.

Sunriver Stars Community Theater News

n keeping with an Sunriver Stars Community Theater (SSCT) Board ruling concerning COVID-19, the STARS are making every attempt to keep the south Deschutes County population informed of our plans, and purpose. Since our 2020-21 season has been cancelled, we have enlisted some of our actors to help you get acquainted with them; who they are and how they have become STARS with us. We begin with Tom Kelley. Tom was born and raised in East Hartford Connecticut. His father Bill Kelley was a Tool and Die Foreman at Pratt and Whitney Aircraft during the war and his mother taught first grade until the couple started their family. Tom was one of three sons born to this couple, seven and nine years younger than his brothers. Bill Kelley died when Tom was seven months old, and his mother had to become the breadwinner. Unfortunately, his father did not leave a revised will, so his first wife sued and collected half of the estate. Tom stated that his mom was pretty tough, and provided for the boys until she died when Tom was 13. He lived with his uncle for a while, and then moved to Boston to live with a married brother and his wife from a large Italian family who “took him in.” The move to Boston made Tom a Bostonian, and he matriculated through high school, participating in a few theatrical productions, and some summer productions with some friends who were doing the same. Tom enrolled at Boston College majoring in Chemistry with the idea of becoming a physician. The opportunity to start medical school did not materialize so he got a teaching degree and became a high school chemistry teacher in the Boston area for several years. Tom then states that he got the travel bug, to seek adventure around the country. He ended up in Portland in 1978 and met his future wife, Ann, two weeks later — who was volunteering with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. He taught high school chemistry at Centennial High School for 11 years, and their children were born in the mid 1980s. The family then moved to the American School of The Hague in the Netherlands where he continued to teach chemistry. During the time in Holland the family enjoyed traveling all around Western Europe, and Tom did some shows acting and playing in the orchestra. Tom and Ann had decided that he should retire when he turned 60 in 2013.

They had purchased a vacation home in Sunriver in 2001, knowing that Portland was much like Holland, cool and wet. They decided that 35 years of damp was enough and they returned to that house and remodeled it into a very comfortable home. This met their desires much more and they love it here.

When Tom and Ann had settled in Sunriver, Ann still had some business dealings in the Netherlands and had to occasionally travel there. This left Tom with free time. He decided to audition at the Cascades Theatrical Company (CTC) in 2014 on an impulse and got the lead role in Funny Money, and that started a career of many more performances at CTC. Unfortunately his most recent one was cancelled due to COVID-19. Tom did relate to this writer that he had mostly done comedy at CTC, but surprised the audience in a murder thriller based on an Agatha Christy novel called And Then There Were None. It was very dramatic and in the end he turned out to be the killer. After the last person left was a woman who hanged herself in the closet — he shot himself — And Then There Were None!!! Tom stated this particular performance stretched him greatly both in character development and memorization.

Low-and-behold the SSCT artistic director Victoria Kristy was in the audience for the Funny Money show, and when she encountered Tom at Costco, she invited him to audition for a show in Sunriver. So Tom debuted in Drinking Habits, where I think he played five different characters, and then starred in Suite Surrender as manager of a hotel, where two rival divas were mistakenly booked into the same suite. What makes theater magic for Tom is the camaraderie of the cast as they grow in their characters as well as the bond of teamwork, encouragement and challenge. He has made many new friends including yours truly over these last six years, and everyone knows that the show is going to be great if Tom is in the cast. So, we thank Tom for his participation and look forward to more performances by this seasoned veteran once the ban is lifted, and Sunriver STARS Community Theater begins its next season.

Deschutes Public Library Begins Chapters 2 of Reopening of ‘normal,’ but our priority is to minimize risk at every step.” Minimizing risk includes the following practices:

o one was sure what the future would hold when Deschutes Public Library closed its doors to the public on March 16. The duration of the closure, how to continue serving the community, even what to do with checked-out books — it was all an unknown. But in recent weeks the library began a limited return to operations, and in early June customers started picking up and placing holds on materials. The next chapter in the Library’s phased reopening started on June 22, when customers entered the buildings again — albeit in a limited way. “We are happy to provide a gradual reintroduction to the library as we enter Chapter 2 of our reopening plan,” said Library Operations Manager Holly McKinley. “Starting June 22, customers will have limited access into Library buildings. Staff will wear masks, and we’ll limit the number of people allowed in at any one time to facilitate safe physical distancing.” McKinley said customers can pick up and check out their own materials at self-serve kiosks. Meeting and tutor rooms, public computers and children’s early learning spaces will remain closed. Programs, classes and events (story times, computer labs, lectures, etc.), as well as the processing of library cards, will continue online only during this time.

Modified hours will remain in place. Chapter 2 hours are as follows: • Downtown Bend Library, East Bend Library, Redmond Library Monday-Saturday, 9am-6pm, (special hours for ages 60+ and immunocompromised individuals, from 9-10am); closed Sundays • La Pine Library, Sisters Library, Sunriver Library Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-6pm, closed Sundays, Mondays McKinley said the next phase in the Library’s steps to reopening is Chapter 3, which will include increased access to buildings, resources and services. Chapter 2, she said, is a transition stage that will help staff and customers become accustomed to new procedures as the library works toward the next chapter. The date for Chapter 3 will be determined by the Library Director and Board in consultation with government and public health officials. “As we take these incremental steps to reopening our buildings, our foremost goal is to keep staff and customers safe when working in and browsing the library,” said Library Director Todd Dunkelberg. “We are all eager to get back to some semblance

• Face Coverings. All Deschutes Public Library staff members are required to wear facemasks. Customers are encouraged but not required to wear facemasks as a courtesy to staff and other members of the public. • Increased Cleanings. The Library’s janitorial service is working additional hours and paying particular attention to common surfaces such as handrails, doors, and handles. The Library also provides cleaning supplies for all workspaces and public service desk areas. • Hand Washing. While public restrooms are closed during the initial phases of re-opening, outdoor hand-washing stations and hand sanitizer are available for Library customers. Staff have regular access to soap and warm water for hand washing. Gloves will be provided to staff for use during cleaning and disinfecting materials and workspaces. • Physical Distancing. Customers will be guided to maintain a six-foot distance between staff and other customers. Physical distancing areas will be clearly marked in spaces where the public tends to gather (e.g., service desks, check-out kiosks). Library customers with questions about the phases or their accounts can call or text their question to 541-617-0776.

Spice Merchant’s Tip

he sun is out, the farmers market is open and our local farmers are working hard to supply us with tasty food from the Central Oregon landscape. As you all know, our growing season is short and farming the High Desert is only for the toughest and most dedicated individuals. I am so thankful for everything our local farmers do to give us great options at the markets and stores like Central Oregon Locavore. My favorite part of the short growing season is grilling up large quantities of local veggies. It is a great time to explore the seasonings in your cupboard or try out some new flavors. Most veggies provide a great canvas for any Matt Perry Spice Merchant spice seasoning so get creative and try something new. I love a good Moroccan seasoning, Thai Curry or a Nashville Hot fried chicken spice on my grilled veggies. The options are endless so enjoy the fresh air and Central Oregon bounty. savoryspiceshop.com Oregon’s Only Arts Magazine Since 1995 | July 2020

new perspectives for july

his month is filled with decisions beginning on the 1st. The Full Moon on the 4th brings a need for definition in relationships. Patience is required over the next few days and conversations on the 8th could still feel challenging. A change of heart on the 10th brings a new beginning and feels like a breath of fresh air. Communication improves after the 12th and opportunities start to show up. Significant changes on the 14th hints that situations are improving. More patience is required from the 15th until the New Moon on the 20th when emotions will finally become very clear. Making yourself important on the 22nd helps other people understand what you need. Take time to listen to your inner voice on the 24th and make the necessary changes. Opportunities require blind faith on the 27th and it will be important to give yourself the validation

that you need. Realizations on the 31st bring an understanding of how to heal the past. Let go and welcome new ideas about your future.
