Instead,he preferred to drink coffee and photograph in

''When I was given'Early Color,' I couldn't believe that a photographer with such a unique eye had been hidden away so long," Leach said."Here was a photographer who had a incredible sense of color and framing that felt fresh today, yet he was doing it in the '50s.

Bob JensenofThe Potter' s House shapes a bowl for Soup Supper The annual events raises money for Shelter From the Storm. the Storm's three major fundraisers for the year. The other two are the 3 River Race against Domestic Violence, held in the first part of June, and the annual fall fundraising campaign.

Shelter From the Storm deals with sexual assault and domestic violence.

"Breaking the cycle of violence is our goal,"White-Waters said.cWe help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, men, women, children. It's not specific to any gender or age, and we serve more than 800 non-duplicated clients a year.

People's support is instrumental in keeping the agency going.

"The Soup Supper is an opportunity for the community to come

The event will include live music. People can buy tickets to win a sculpture donated by Wayne Arnson, and Ellen Krieger is donating a quilt to raffle.

Among the potters donating bowls is Jensen of The Potter's House.

'The Shelter From the Storm is a very worthwhile cause," Jensen said,"and this is a way I can use my talents to support them. I've done it for 20 years, pretty much ever since I came here and began teaching at the high school. I encouraged my students to contribute to the event, too, and it was very popular in the day."

"I want the audience to feel as if they're sitting right there in the family's back yard watching the events unfold," said Caiti Burke, the show's director.

Burke, from Yakima, Washington, will graduate in the spring with a theater degree with an emphasis in directing.

She is especially excited about the set designed and constructed

by Tabitha Angier.

"This show wouldn't be the same if not for the amazing setting it was put in," Burke said.

"Tabitha has designed and built the most beautiful set I have seen on the McKenzie stage."

Burke's biggest challenge, as director, is making sure the show doesn't die on stage.

"This show is very talky — just conversation, "she said."Ihave to make sure it doesn't become boring for the audience and stays fresh.s The cast, Burke said, has been a dream to work with.

"They're establishing their characters and acting on their impulses so we can capitalize on moments in the show," Burke said.

"I can use that as a jumping-off point to further things or fix things."

Besides Angier, the crew behind the scenes ofeProof'includes stage manager Jeanie Nickel, costume designer Heather Tomlinson, lighting designer Tyler Rollins, properties manager GriSn Flemming andmakeup and hair designer Kelsy Carson.

Burke said she hopes the audience takes away from the show not only the unpredictability of genius but also the importance of relationships, love and trust.

"The family ties you make along the way," she said, "help you to grow as a person and find yourself."

band.

Dirty Voltage was formed in 2011 after thebreakup ofPortland AC/DC cover band Livewire.

Halsey had coffee with Livewire's guitarist and drummer, and following some jam sessions Dirty Voltage began.

Today, the band consists of vocalist Jon Lehman on lead vocals, Justin Merritt and Halsey on guitar, Stan Maker on drums and Jeff Carmen playing bass.

The band's purpose, Halsey said, is to recreate AC/DC's onstagepresence as closely asitcan.

They consider AC/DC their "idols," Carmen said. And Halsey said that AC/DC's music appeals to all ages.

"I always loved doing the Max

"It's so entertaining," guitarist Jack Halsey said."Sometimes they actually make me mess up on some of the songs because I'm laughing so hard at the antics."

The show will include full-dress up, lots of crowd interaction, and will run for more than two hours.

There is a $5 cover charge. Special guest Boomstick will open for the

Square thing," Halsey said,"because every time we did AC/DC, the kids would love it. You would have 8 to 80. Everybody knew their songs."

Carmen addedthatthey vary their song selection and concert dynamics based on age groups, and thatthe 21-year-old orolder crowd will get the more "raunchy rock-and-roll experience."

In orderto traveland perform, though, the band members must balance jobs, family and music, a difficult task, Carmen said. But like a marriage, Carmen said, when you're passionate enough about something, you make it work.

"Everyone has those days where we're like, 'Oh man, we have to go and rehearse,"' Halsey said."But once you're there, it's fun, and once you're on the stage, as soon as you're on the stage you just black all that out, all that time and

effort that has gone into the show.

Now you're doing the show."

"Whenever you can get musicians together," Carmen added, "it's a special feeling, it's a cosmic feeling, it's a real bonding kind of thing."

Music, Carmen said, is passion, a greatway to release stressand express yourself. Halsey, also a DJ at KBUQ, La Grande, said his life and music go hand-in-hand.

"I mean, we can drive down to Hood River and we have two and a halfhours, and the only thing we're talking about is music the entire time," he said.

The band hasn't played at Bud Jackson's in more than a year. But Bud's has always been kind to them, Halsey said, so they want to make this show a special occasion.

"If you think you're going to regret not going to a show," Halsey said, "you will. So you should always go. Never second guess it."

The Wallowa Valley Orchestra will perform two concerts this week.

First in the annual Young People's concert which will be held at 9:15 a.m. Thursday at Enterprise school. This concert is geared toward younger audience members.
