NHonoring Our Cultural Capital

otes From the Publisher Pamela Hulse Andrews

If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place. ~ Margaret Mead

C

entral Oregon’s cultural assets are numerous from the historical presence of the rim rock ridge of the Warm Springs Reservation to the lava bed volcanic remnants of the Sunriver / La Pine area. The rivers, lakes, mountain peaks and high desert landscapes make immense fodder for painters, sculptors and storytellers.

However the landscape is only the forum for the stomping ground as it’s the people -- from the artists, musicians and architects to the caretakers, politicians and volunteers -- who set the stage for our culture.

The western and timber-based past of Central Oregon remains long after the towns of our small communities embraced cyberspace, shopping malls and high tech industries. Cowboy boots and jeans, especially jeans, are still the norm and suits and ties are just for a few. We seem to be casual in nature, yet intent on a solid structure.

I found some longing for our high desert culture when I was visiting Dallas, Texas recently. Sitting on a stool in a bar in Fort Worth I noticed that all the ‘cowboys’ were wearing what I call designer jeans without the design – not the type of jeans typically found on the high desert. We observed patiently, but not a 501 in the crowd. When I returned to the Redmond airport, I found it comforting that ours is a ‘501’ culture.

Central Oregon’s diversity is not measured in terms of ethnicity. Although the Native American tribes who have vigilantly preserved their heritage at the Warm Spring Museum and the burgeoning Hispanic community offer diverse traditions, we are mostly a Caucasian-based community, hopefully not by design. Perhaps the fact that we’re still isolated and Central Oregon isn’t the hottest job market in the state has kept us from become ethically more diverse.

But diverse we are becoming. The exemplary work of the Latino Community Association is helping to ‘empower our Latino families to thrive in Central Oregon, creating opportunities for advancement and building bridges that unite and strengthen us all.’

Although once the community squabbled about basic rights, most no longer see this as a stumbling block to our diversity. We can see a political merging and opening of hearts and minds. Discrimination is not welcome in Central Oregon. We embrace the Humane Dignity Coalition and honor its work in protecting people from all walks of life.

We have long embraced our environment and the fruits

of those labors can be seen in the numerous protected forests, rivers and open space along with parks and hiking and biking trails. We think nothing of using solar power, recycling and preserving energy.

Central Oregon loves its dogs and rather than admonishing strict rules about their allotted zones, we’ve opened up parks, trails and river access to our beloved friends becoming nationally recognized as DogTown USA. Central Oregonians, from long time residents to newcomers, are a very generous group. When there’s a need, we find a way. Our nonprofits are plentiful and we volunteer and give support to them at abundant levels.

Central to our culture is a trophy of art highlighted brilliantly with the continuous drumbeat of Art in Pubic Places featured so majestically at our numerous roundabouts.

Through the Tower Theatre, Les Schwab Amphitheatre, Redmond Expo Center and the rodeo grounds of adjoining cities we are not wanting for first rate entertainment.

Standing across the river from the Les Schwab Amphitheatre last month I noticed that the back of the stage was blank and thought a mural should certainly embrace such a redeeming icon along the river. Like minds were having the same reflection because when I called Bill and Marney Smith at the Old Mill District they had already contacted a muralist, Erin Sayer of Minneapolis, who will be here the first of May to begin plans for a mural at the back of the stage. This is what happens in Central Oregon…a thought, a dream, a discussion and another piece of our culture immerges.

Our future is changing. This is an exciting time for our community as Bend steadily becomes a university town.

How will this new opportunity impact our current cultural framework?

We like to think we control our destiny, but we’re unclear of the cumulative result of the changes in our economic base from timber to tourism and now to technology and education. While blessed with a very high standard of living in our region, we by no means live in ‘la la’ land. Our challenges are like many growing areas that want to maintain that quality of life and yet expand it to make it a viable and sustainable place to live.

We can do that by communicating, listening, collaborating, accepting differences and embracing change. We can thrive and prosper by preserving and highlighting our cultural capital.

Caldera Receives Grant

His Majesty by Linda Shelton

Caldera announced the receipt of a $15,000 grant from the Roundhouse Foundation. Noting the importance of Caldera as a strong partner in the region and an impressive statewide model, the Roundhouse Foundation awarded Caldera the grant to support expanded teacher training activities in Central Oregon and Portland.

In this collaborative project with the Roundhouse Foundation, Caldera will offer teachers at its partner schools access to Caldera arts curriculum training, more integration into Caldera’s programming and direct support from Caldera’s Education Director and Education team. The Roundhouse Foundation was established in Sisters in October 2002 to encourage community enrichment and economic development through the arts in Central Oregon.

Creating the Future We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future. - Franklin D. Roosevelt

T

here are many marks of a healthy and vibrant community, among which the education of our children appears at the top of the list. Reviewing this month’s issue of A&E, I was struck by all of the opportunities kids have in Central Oregon, many created by nonprofits stepping in to compensate for dwindling creative curriculums in our schools.

The Cascade School of Music (with a new monthly column on page 36) has created a stellar set of classes and programs aimed at making music fun, engaging and social for all ages.

High Desert Chamber Music’s program, Spotlight Chamber Players, also engages aspiring musicians in the study and performance of chamber music skills and techniques. This month Pastini Pastaria in the Old Mill District is helping to raise funds for the non-profit’s programming, which in turn provides instruction to the Players for free (story on page 37).

Do you have an young movie-buff on your hands? BendFilm’s Future Filmmakers will host its annual 72 Hour Shootout in which students have 72 hours to produce and submit films of three minutes or less (story on page 11).

Architecture in Schools, a program of the Architecture Foundation of Oregon, gives students a glimpse into the world of an architect as well as enhances learning in language arts, social studies, math and science. Check out this year’s projects, the work of 13 classes and 12 volunteer architects, on First Friday in the Old Mill District (story on page 13).

Eager readers may already be aware of the tremendous work SMART does in the local community. Paring adult volunteers with children in need of reading support and books can do wonders for a child (story on page 7).

The five programs above are just a few of the creative opportunities our community has created for our children. The importance of these organizations can not be overstated. Cultivating creative and critical thinking at a young age can ensure they are prepared for their future and the future of our communities.

America’s National Parks, A Pop-Up Book

by MITCH GRIMMETT, A&E Editorial Intern

Photos from www.nationalparkspopup.com

L

overs of the outdoors are sure to be thrilled about the release of the new book, America’s National Parks, A Pop-Up Book, that will spirit readers away to over 18 of our country’s most popular national parks with only a few turns of the page. However, buy a deluxe edition of the book and you will not only be admiring the beauty of each paper park, but also helping to save these great parks in the real world.

For every online purchase of the book, $8 will be donated to the National Parks Conservation Association. In addition, the purchase of a limited edition version will result in $80 being donated to the conservation of these parks.

Through donations, buyers will help to reach the $100,000 goal set by the many people who helped to create this incredible work of art.

But who exactly put this book together?

The three big names that came together to publish the pop-up book are Bruce Foster, Don Compton and Dave Ember. Foster is an award-winning paper engineer of over 40 pop-up books for every age group

from small children to adults. Three of his books have appeared on NBC’s Today Show and he also designed the many pop-ups seen in Disney’s Enchanted.

Don Compton, the author of the book, once made a living in the steel business but has since retired and published 16 books, including the com- Dave Ember panion book to the PBS television series entitled Great Lodges of the National Parks. Many of the stories told in these books come from Compton’s trips with his family to national parks and, with the release of this most recent labor of love, he is celebrating his 77th birthday.

Last, but certainly not least, is Dave Ember, the crew’s illustrator and designer. Big names such as The New York Times, Hewlett-Packard and Playboy, Inc. have all come to Ember for his unique artistic style when corporate or advertising art is needed. However, this is the first time that Dave has ever illustrated a pop-up book.

“The main difference between is twofold,” Dave explained. geometric shapes

my normal work and the work on the book “My normal work usually involves clean and is more conceptual in nature so I get to play a bit more. However the book art involves organic shapes and I needed to represent the subject matter realistically. It was quite a juggling act coordinating all these elements. But, like I said, every time I open the book, I realize all the work paid off.” www.nationalparkspopup.com.

The Reprobate

An Oregon Historical Romance

T

h e Reprobate, an Oregon historical fiction romance

by Redmond author Dorothy A. Bell was released as an e-book in April by Freya’s Bower Publisher.

Fiddle playing, hard drinking Royce O’Bannon believes he’s worthless like his old man; no woman should have anything to do with him.

Music teacher Cleantha Arnaud, Dorothy A. Bell her virtue long spent, believes her life is over; crippled and barren, no man would want her. When the two outcasts become lovers, hopes and dreams blossom within their parched souls.

Royce’s vengeful daddy begins a campaign of retaliation against his traitorous sons and the town that gave them a second chance.

Now Royce, feeling the weight of responsibility thrust upon him, follows his daddy into the dark tunnels beneath Pendleton’s streets to stop his old man from his path of destruction. With a swift crack on the head, all of Royce’s newly found hopes and dreams could be shattered like candied glass. http://freyasbower.com, dbelltakesromance.com.

COCC Kicks Off ‘Bridging Cultures: Muslim Journeys’ Series

C

entral Oregon Community College will host a kick-off reception for Bridging Cultures: Muslim Journeys from 3:305:30pm on Wednesday, May 1 in Wille Hall in the Campus Center on the Bend Campus. The event is free and open to the public.

At 4:30pm Kambiz GhaneaBassiri, associate professor of religion and humanities at Reed College in Portland, will present Muslim Journeys and the Making of American History, focusing on Islam’s role in American history, from colonial times to the present. His book, A History of Islam in America: From the New World to the New World Order, was published in 2010.

At the reception, there will be an opportunity to participate in interactive quizzes about the influence of Islam and to review the books and videos that were granted to COCC’s Library through the National

Endowment for the Humanities.

The event is sponsored by a NEH special initiative, Bridging Cultures, that engages the power of the humanities to promote understanding of and mutual respect for people with diverse histories, cultures and perspectives within the United States and abroad. The grant will help sponsor a number of Muslim Journeys lectures, book discussions and film showings beginning in May and continuing into the fall. An Oregon Humanities grant is making it possible to bring three scholars to COCC as part of this Muslim Journeys initiative.

This program was made possible in part by a grant from Oregon Humanities (OH), a statewide nonprofit organization and an independent affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which funds OH’s grant program. 541-383-7412. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | May 2013

M

ay is National Preservation Month. And what better way to celebrate the landmarks, legends and lore of America and Central Oregon than with Kitsch King and Ambassador of Americana, Charles Phoenix. The humorist, author and showman brings his one-man comedy show to the historic Tower Theatre in downtown Bend for one performance only Wednesday, May 1 at 7:30pm.

The Charles Phoenix Big Retro Slide Show is a delicious, deep-fried roast and toast of amazing mid-century tourist traps, theme parks, space age sub-

urbia, car culture, festive fashions and more. With infectious enthusiasm and a keen eye for oddball detail, Phoenix shows the very best of his massive collection of flea market-found vintage Kodachrome slides and tells tales of his road trip adventures across America.

Be prepared for local pride to swell when Charles reveals his “best of ” guide to Bend-area landmarks, including Redmond’s Petersen Rock Garden. Festive dress is encouraged, but not expected.

“The motto for National Preservation Month is See it, Save it, Celebrate it,” says Ray Solley, executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation, and ex-officio member of the Deschutes Country Historic Landmark Commission. “Charles genuinely loves the unique people and historic places that make areas like Central Oregon so special. It’s an honor to have him help us kick off a month-long tribute to the city and county’s historic preservation activities.”

Charles’ colorful coffee table books include Southern California in the ‘50s and Americana the Beautiful. Phoenix has appeared on The Conan Show, The Martha Stewart Show and is a frequent contributor to NPR. He regularly presents his show in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas and Portland.

The Sunset Limited at 2nd Street Theater Photo courtesy of 2nd Street Theater

S

tage Right Productions and 2nd Street Theater present The Sunset Limited written

by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road) and directed

by Dori Donoho.

On a subway platform in New York City, an ex-con from the South (Preacher) saves the life of an intellectual atheist (Professor) who wasn’t looking for salvation.

Now, the reformed murdererturned-savior is determined to offer salvation of another kind, bringing the failed suicide victim back to his Harlem apartment.

Preacher begins in control, but it quickly becomes clear that the nonbeliever is much more secure in his convictions than the believer. In a battle of wits, free will, life, death, God and the Devil, it’s one room, two men and a play that will leave you breathless!

“It’s an intense show… a verbal chess match and the outcome can mean life or death,” says producer

Rick Jenkins & Richard Mueller in Sunset Limited

Sandy Klein.

“Directing Sunset Limited has been a dream of mine for years; it’s a powerful headlong jump onto the tracks of ultimate possibility,” says Donoho.

The show stars two powerful local actors, Rick Jenkins (Over the River and Through The Woods, Richard III, Twelfth Night) and Richard Muel-

ler (Sordid Lives, Oleanna, Richard III, Working). Director Dori Donoho founded the Brat Pack Theater Troupe in 1980 and directed Crimes of The Heart, Curious Savage, Women’s Forum, Insomnia and many others in Idaho. Donoho is best known for her award winning Homegrown Music Radio Show and support of local musicians. This show contains

adult language.

May 10-25, Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3pm, with an Opening Night Champagne Reception on May 10 from 6:30 to 7:30pm.

Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 students/seniors, available at www.2ndstreettheater.com or by calling the box office at 541-312-9626.

hooting Star, a romantic comedy by Steven Dietz, co-directed by Juliah Rae and Ron McCracken, is now on the stage at Cascades Theatrical Company.

Snowed in overnight at an airport somewhere in Middle America, former college lovers Elena Carson and Reed McAllister have an unexpected and life-altering reunion. Elena has stayed true to her hippie-ish, counter-culture path, while Reed has gone predictably corporate and conservative.

As the night gives way to laughter, banter and remembrance, Elena and Reed revisit a past that holds more surprises than they imagined—and a present that neither of them could have predicted. Filled with laughter and ache, this is a bittersweet romantic comedy about the Don Delach & Lilli Ann Linford-Foreman in Shooting Star middle days of our lives, and how we got there.

Tickets: thru–May 12, Wednesday thru Sat 7:30pm, Sun 2pm. $24 Adult/$18 Senior (60 and over)/$12 Student. Cascades Theatrical Company, Greenwood Playhouse, 148 NW Greenwood Avenue, Bend, 541-389-0803.

Book Artist to Teach Workshop at Atelier 6000

A

rtists have been working in printing and book production for centuries, but the artist’s book is principally a late 20th century structure. In the early 1970s the artist’s book began to be recognized as a distinct genre. In the 1980s and 1990s, the discipline of the artist book strengthened with an everincreasing number of book artists, greater commercialization, the appearance of a critical publications devoted to works of art realized in the form of a book and college programs with a concentrated programs in Book Arts.

The book artist looks to escape the boredom of a closed book. The artists’ book draws from a wide range of book structures, including scrolls, fold-outs, concertinas or loose items contained in a box as well as bound books and re-purposed books referred to as altered books.

Combining literature with book sculpture, book arts takes a book and retranslating the pages into form – morphing the traditional outward appearance expands the tradition of the handmade book. Today, the book

Students get excited about architecture

Architects in Schools Exhibit in the Old Mill District

T

he Architecture Foundation of Oregon and The Old Mill District will feature the sixth annual Central Oregon Architects in Schools Exhibit on First Friday, May 3 from 5-8pm at the Old Mill District in the empty space that used to be CAT6. Central Oregon elementary school students will showcase projects developed over the past few months during time spent with architects learning about architecture. This school year, thirteen classes and twelve volunteer architects from Central Oregon participated in the Architects in Schools program.

Schools participating are Amity Creek Magnet School, Buckingham Elementary, Elk Meadow Elementary, Ensworth Elementary, Miller Elementary and Ponderosa Elementary from Bend, and LaPine Elementary from LaPine.

Participating architects represent Ambient Architecture, BBT Architects, BLRB Architects, Neal Huston and Associates, Olin Architecture, PECI and Pinnacle Architecture.

The Architects in Schools program serves third through fifth grades and is administered by the Ar-

The program is designed to develop an awareness of architectural elements and construction methods through classroom sessions, projects and field trips that enhance learning in language arts, social studies, math, science and other subjects.

chitecture Foundation of Oregon. The program is designed to develop an awareness of architectural elements and construction methods through classroom sessions, projects and field trips that enhance learning in language arts, social studies, math, science and other subjects. The content is guided by an architectural curriculum specially prepared to create understanding and appreciation of the built environment in which the students live, learn and play.

Participating students reported that “… you can’t build a building without drawing, and (that) some buildings look really hard to draw, but I can do it.” And, “You can’t just build, you have to draw first. You have to think about who the building is for.” Students also learn important communication skills. One student said, “We learned that it is not easy to be an architect, client or a contractor because you have to work with the information that the client gave to the architect who gave it to the contractor.”

Digital Artist Dorothy Freudenberg Embraces Compassion with Enthusiasm

A Turning Point in the Jou

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

D

orothy Freudenberg is 2013’s Signature Artist for the Deschutes Children’s Foundation’s (DCF) Art and Wine Auction. A contributing artist to the event for many years, Freudenberg’s vibrant digital piece, Compassionate Embrace, will be the cornerstone of the auction held at the Riverhouse Convention Center on May 4.

Since 2002, her work has raised over $12,000 to support DCF’s mission of promoting a community of services to the children and families of Deschutes County. “We have always gotten a really good response from our guests about her pieces,” commented Foundation Executive Director Kim McNamer. “Because she has been giving for so many years, we decided to honor her and all that she has done for us. The piece that she has been able to do for us is pretty amazing.”

“I had been in other auction events, [prior to being invited to participate in 2002] and was impressed with the type of event the Foundation put on, how they treated the artists, and was impressed with the outcome,” Freudenberg explained. “It’s a really worthy project, it becomes a part of your agenda...as an artist it is wonderful to give the gift of your artwork to such a worthy cause.”

The signature piece came about while she was working in her garden and photographing her poppies. “I kept returning to this fabulous subject matter; it is so dramatic,” she said. In her photographs of the flowers one particular shot stood out. After working her magic in her digital dark room, the image evolved into a striking piece of art.

The key to turning an image into a work of art lies in her collections of textures, colors and moments captured on camera. Combining her external ob16 www.CascadeAE.com| May 2013

servations with an internal vision through the medium of digital art, Freudenberg creates unique pieces that radiate with color.

“When I showed the piece to Jacob [DCF’s development coordinator] and Kim and asked what they thought, the look on their face told me,” she said. “The title, Compassionate Embrace, was a complication of ideas I had as well as an embracing of the nature and significance of the event. I am proud to see my art make a difference for the most vulnerable children and families in our community.”

With a foundation in black and white photography, Freudenberg first discovered digital art in the early 1990s as she was digitizing her photography.

“When I got on the computer I had a color palette; [color] was something I had never really thought about before,” she said. “I realized a subject could speak more profoundly and eloquently sometimes in a different color than its given color; that allowed me to break the rules about what I thought things should be and get out of the photography box.”

Freudenberg soon began working in layers, and as her skills improved, she started constructing her pieces. Working from photos, pieces of graffiti she found on derelict walls, textures and bits of randomness, her photography changed to encompass gathering elements that would become part of art pieces. “I saw the world in a different light. I didn’t stop looking at the whole but started collecting pieces like a kid going out with a little goody bag getting pine cones and pine needles,” Freudenberg said.

The popularity of digital art has been booming as of late with the myriad

Rites of Anticipation

of tablets, phones and hand-held devices capable of running hundreds of different art-related apps.

“Digital art has been at the edges [of mainstream art], but now it’s here.

There are whole websites about what people are doing,” Freudenberg said. “I think what these devices do is foster creativity and immediacy.”

She mentioned a new and upcoming technology, Leap Motion, could be the next big innovation in digital media. “With Leap, you can use gestures to control the media. You can draw in a three dimensional space,” she said. The technology will sense moDorothy Freudenberg tion and gestures from the user’s hand and fingers to control the computer, applications, games, etc.

“It all will lead to a more direct interface between computing and the individual,” Freudenberg said. “You can get a direct emotional experience, the action is part of it. It will make the action more and more influential [in the creation of digital art].

“I find the audience for digital art is growing, there is less questioning now, and it’s becoming accepted…People respond to the image, not to the process.

“I am pushing my own boundaries in the subject matter, creating art that is a little more abstracted and less literal,” Freudenberg continued. “I can’t think of any time where things from month to month and year to year are evolving in leaps and bounds, and requires that we be mentally, artistically and emotionally flexible, just to stay current.”

Freudenberg is a member of the artist owned and operated Tumalo Art Co. in the Old Mill District. http://dfdarts.com, http://tumaloartco.com.

Art & Wine Auction Supports Children & Families in Deschutes County

T

he Deschutes Children’s Foundation’s annual event, taking place at the Riverhouse Convention Center on May 4, will feature works of art, limited release wine and a variety of vacation opportunities during their live auction. All items are donated by local artists, wine collectors and community sponsors with music by Todd Haaby and Sola Via. “We have some new artists in the live auction this year,” said Executive Director Kim McNamer. “As well as a vacation in an amazing house in Malibu.”

In an effort to address the needs and desires of all the guests at the auction, the Foundation has invited all the live auction artists, new and old, to contribute a silent auction piece. “We wanted to provide high quality pieces of art, that may be smaller and more affordable, to appeal to all the people coming to the event,” McNamer explained. “Many people can’t afford the large items in the live auction. Over 40 artist have contributed to the silent auction this year.”

Another change in the evening will be the addition of a Dessert Dash, happening during the live auction. The highest bidder table will get to choose their dessert first; 40 tables will choose between 40 desserts. “You could get a dessert of animal crackers if your table is the lowest bidders, it’s an added

way to have a little fun and gain participation during the live auction,” McNamer said. “It’s another revenue source at the auction this year. We needed to increase our revenue sources this year by looking at live and silent auction offerings and other fun things like the Dessert Dash.”

McNamer further explained that the fundraising efforts of the May 4 evening will directly support 28 non-profits that serve children and families by providing rent-free space on four campuses throughout Bend, La Pine and Redmond. “We save $650,000 annually for theses non profits by covering the rent and taking care of the property management aspect,” she said.

The Foundation’s board of directors and volunteers will be present during the evening with “ASK ME” buttons on. The buttons will feature a number which signifies an important figure in the efforts of the Foundation. “We hope the buttons will spark a conversation with the guests to focus on what the DCF does and how we help the nonprofits, families and children,” McNamer said.

Tickets for the 21 Annual Art & Wine Auction are available by visiting www. deschuteschildrensfoundation.org or 541-388-3101. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | May 2013

Art in the Atrium at Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin, celebrates First Friday with Women and the Figure, a fine art exhibit featuring Kaycee Anseth, collage, Carol Sternkopf, photography and Melinda Thorsnes, oil.

Anseth uses discarded fashion and home decor magazines to create intricately detailed collages telling stories through personal narrative. Her process resembles painting with paper - incorporating small pieces cut from the saturated palettes of high-gloss advertising, pasted/transformed into both intricate patterns and whimsical figures. A Central Oregon artist for ten years, she likens this time-consuming, A Southern Woman, a meditative process to Bhakti Yoga, an act Child of the Plains by of devotion, similar to lighting candles or Kaycee Anseth saying prayers. Her art appeared widely through the Bend art community and Deschutes Brewery commissioned her work as the prestigious 2013 Jubelale label.

Sternkopf exhibits Ancient Recall, an intimate depiction in figurative imagery from the past decade of her life. The beautiful, engaging faces and running figures are her daughter Anna and Anna’s friend Frankie as younger, childhood versions of themselves. These touching photographs overlay structural environments of the Oregon coast, the ancient Ancient Recall II by ruins of Tikal and a shoreline in Belize. Carol Sternkoph The nuanced scenes express a tender, yet strong emotional core, Veteran Northwest painter whose career spans over 40 years, Thorsnes, presents highly saturated, figurative oil paintings.

The works express intriguing narrative of interaction among subjects, occasionally family and friends, and expose American culture at its core - sometimes raw, sometimes amusing, often beautiful. She also paints intensely colored, lush impasto portraits of women. With over a ten-year Woman from Menucha stint at Portland’s Froelilck Gallery, her exhibitions include the Oregon Biennial at

In his studio paintings, Steven is searching for the intangible feeling of timelessness that lies beneath the surface of what may seem commonplace. His plein air work is more akin to the impressionists who tried essentially to capture the atmosphere of a specific moment in time.

Alleman’s extraordinary watercolors and oils depict rural subjects that recall our connection with the land and with the ethos of middle-American life. Quiet and brooding in tone, each scene captures a stillness that evokes “nostalgia stripped of sentimentality.

Art at the Oxford at The Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota, celebrates First Friday with Mike Smith, watercolor, oil and collage.

Internationally recognized artist Smith delight’s viewers with whimsical images of family cats and dogs, scenes from travels, his studio surrounded by flowering gardens, boats on the Columbia River and other recognizable scenes. He notes that these images represent the “people, places and animals I love” and an idealized world about them.

The artist paints with a flattened, child-like perspective in a richly colorful palette. He layers multiple washes of the watercolors or layers of oils or pastels to build vibrancy, creating his signature intensity of hue. The artist worked for many years in abstract, minimal forms and evidence of this interest appears as the expressionistic representation of familiar objects such as his large-scale renderings horses in the current exhibition.

Smith’s professional career spans some 40 years with gallery exhibitions throughout the United States and in Europe. His work appears in collections globally including those of Hollywood personalities Ed Asner, actor; Richard Donner, director; and David DePatie, originator of the Pink Panther cartoon series.

High Stress, Huh?

Must be the Lack of Stainless Steel

M

was the case.

illenials Are The Most Stressed-Out Generation, read the article’s headline. OMG, thought I! That’s terrible. I didn’t know that!

As an intrepid journalist, I wanted to know exactly why that

First though, I wanted to know what in the world a “millennial” was.

Turns out that was the easy part. A bit of Googling - much preferred over Binging, which I swear I’ll never get used to - led me to discover that a millennial is someone born between 1980 and 2000.

Okay, so that’s what a millennial is - a Baby Boomer’s Baby Boom. But why would they be stressed? They basically have everything. One article said it’s because they’ve been too shielded, have poor coping skills, are used to instant gratification and were raised in a society where you get a trophy just for showing up.

Ouch.

But I thought that might be a tad unfair, and I wanted to delve deeper.

Here’s what I discovered: -Millenials have to try and track which Kardashian is engaged, which Kardashian is pregnant, which Kardashian is getting a divorce, which Kardashian is having a lavish million-dollar wedding, which Kardashian is having an affair and which Kardashian is currently overweight and shouldn’t be wearing a bikini but is anyway and was just photographed on her private island by 12,000 photographers while consoling the pregnant Kardashian sister who’s having a million-dollar prenuptial divorce baby shower. And - they have to do all that while simultaneously tracking which DUI/accident/theft/fight Lindsay Lohan is appearing in court for this time! It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin!

lighterside

By The One & Only Paul Bianchina

smart-tables, smart-chairs, smart-belts, smart-shoelaces and smart-condoms.

Stress levels have been shown to ratchet up to almost unbearable levels every time Apple introduces an upgrade to one of their products, which it does every eight seconds. Some 397,000 Millenials had to be hospitalized for stress-related medical conditions recently when one electronics manufacturer moved the headphone jack from the top of their music player to the side.

-Doctors have recently identified a malady that’s come to be known as “Restless Thumb Syndrome,” or RTS. RTS manifests itself whenever a Millennial is deprived of the opportunity to text. In a double-blind study, doctors surgically removed the cell phones from the hands of 1,100 Millenials. As soon as they came out of the anesthesia, their thumbs began to move over the keyboards that were no longer there. Therapists and psychologists were called in to help reprogram the Millenials to regain their ability to communicate through the use of speech, but it was hopeless. Again, stress levels were extremely high until the ability to text instead of talk was regained.

-But stressful as all those things are, they pale in comparison to the ultimate stress-inducer. It’s estimated that at some point in time, every Millennial will move back home. Think about the horror of waking up one morning and realizing that it’s time to pack up your dirty socks and your 12 cases of electronics and head for Mom and Dad’s house, with its Formica counters, white appliances and - gasp - carpeting!

Wait. Is that right? Give me just a second to go back through my notes……

Oh yeah, I thought I had that last part wrong. Moving back home isn’t the ultimate stress-inducer for Millenials.

It’s the ultimate stress-inducer for Mom and Dad. paul2887@ykwc.net

-After studying 793 episodes of House Hunters on TV, it’s become clear that no self-respecting Millennial can live without granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and hardwood floors, and this is adding substantially to their stress levels. This has grown to such epidemic proportions that auto manufacturers had reported a serious slump in new car sales to Millenials until they began installing granite dashboards, stainless steel glove compartments and hardwood floor mats.

New Public Art Installed in Bend Roundabout

Arts

A

John Fleming watches as the final pieces of High Desert Spiral were installed on a snowy afternoon.

39 foot steel pipe sculpture titled High Desert Spiral by Seattle artist John Fleming was recently installed at the new roundabout at Mt. Washington Drive and Simpson Avenue.

The artwork is inspired by the way traffic spirals around the roundabout, the possibility of bikes and runners spiraling around a pylon in a race, and even the way lava cools into spirals. All of these ideas inspired High Desert Spiral, says Fleming.

The height, movement and lava orange color of the steel blades make it a unique addition to Bend’s public art collection. High Desert Spiral is the tallest public art sculpture to be installed in Bend by Art in Public Places. In addition to the great size of the sculpture, the 60 steel blades that hang from the piece will be quite a sight, expressed Sue Hollern, president of Art in Public Places.

Fabrication of the new sculpture took place in Central Oregon. “Ponderosa Forge played an important role in the process, fabricating and bending the heavy steel pipe to match my detailed drawings of an Archimedean spiral,” said Fleming. “Believe me, that’s no small feat!”

The sculpture by Fleming was selected by the Art in Public Places Committee after a public input process in 2012. Models by the three finalists were on display at the Deschutes Public Library for two weeks last fall.

Funding for the public art is coming from Art in Public Places, a non-profit organization that provides art to various locations throughout the City of Bend. The Bend Foundation, a non-profit founded and funded by Brooks Scanlon, Brooks Resources Corporation and its shareholders, awarded a $500,000 matching grant to Art In Public Places for the purchase and installation of public art in the Bend city limits by the end of December, 2014. Generous donations from the public raised over $500,000, resulting in the matching grant which will provide over $1 million for public art by the end of 2014.

Sunriver Art Faire Jurors Have a Tough Job!

A

s this article goes to press, this year’s Art Faire jurors are making their final judgment on the 121 artisans who have applied to be in the fourth annual Sunriver Art Faire. Their decisions will be announced in early May. At this point in the planning, there will be 65+ booths in the Village in August. The competition for a booth in the Art Faire has become more intense each year, and the jurors’ job is not an easy one. Volunteering their time as a judge this year are Karen Bandy, Helen Brown, Sandra Miller and Mary Lou Zeek.

Jeweler Karen Bandy has been involved in art since her Portland childhood. She graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in art education but after three years of teaching art in a Eugene public school she returned to Portland to start her career in jewelry design and manufacture. After working for others for almost four years, Karen and her husband moved to Bend, where she opened her design studio in 1987 and has grown a successful business earning many design awards, and designing for clients worldwide.

Watercolor painter Helen Brown of Sunriver earned a master of arts degree and spent 15 years teaching French in the U.S. and Australia. Now an outdoor enthusiast with an art-focused life, her paintings have been juried into local and national shows, and she continues to explore the limits of her aqueous medium. Sometimes she uses a batik method in her paintings resulting in luminous washes and harmonious color schemes. Her work is carefully designed with unique perspectives which create a style all her own, sometimes described as graphic or symbolic.

Sandra Miller is a former high school specialist art teacher in Australia and Canada. When she retired, she became a self-employed art gallery owner and frame shop owner here in Bend from 1980 to 2006. She received the Governor’s

Art Award in 2001.

Mary Lou Zeek of Salem began her career after her graduation from Western Oregon University in 1975. She began as a studio potter until the opening of the Mary Lou Zeek Gallery, her contemporary arts and craft gallery in 2001. The primary focus of Ring by Karen Bandy the gallery has always been to push the limits of gallery art in unexpected ways and “share” shows with the community. By building artist partnerships that go beyond her gallery door, Mary Lou has produced a creative formula for success, which requires a level of passion, time and risk-taking.

The “Art of Judging” requires some different perspectives. Brown stated, “All the artists Aspen Brotherhood by Helen Brown submitted such creative and interesting work; it was hard to pare it down to only 65 artists. Focusing on the basic principles of design made my decisions easier.”

Bandy added, “I looked for quality and consistency in the artwork, and if something was new and interesting that was a bonus. I also looked at photos of the booths to see if they were professionally put together and backed up the work.”

Be sure to check out the results of their judging at www.sunriverartfaire.com later in May. Faire dates are August 9-11 in the Village at Sunriver. In addition to the beautiful artwork, there will be a wide variety of professional entertainment as well as a food court. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | May 2013

Artists' Gallery Sunriver Village

ime to celebrate both mothers and the return of Spring at the Sunriver Artists’ Gallery. Not only is spring in full bloom, but the gallery has some great splashes of color as well. The gallery’s highly successful Second Saturday reception is scheduled for May 11, 4-7pm.

Bring mom to the party and watch closely for clues to what she would really like for Mother’s Day! All of the artists will be there to share refreshments with you, but you may want to pay special attention to this month’s featured artists. All four of the artists have been with the gallery long enough to have a following, but this Spring they are showing new pieces that are going to be more Copper Cuff by Stella Rose Powell popular than ever.

Susan Harkness-Williams’ custom gourd art and her fantastic jewelry have always been a favorite for gallery patrons. Between the two different mediums, Susan has an incredible breadth of expression. She brings her serious archeology interests to the art studio when creating each of the beautiful pieces.

Travels to places like Sienna, Italy, to serve as an illustrator for found Etruscan archeology treasures only add to the depth of Susan’s artistic skill set.

Art collector’s call Susan’s fine gourd art Gourd Art by Susan Harkness-Williams work “beautiful, unique, striking.” “Susan’s artwork is truly one of a kind and has a high impact value in my art collection.”

Although her artwork is found nationwide in selective private galleries, Susan is extremely successful right here in her own neighborhood of Central Oregon. You have likely seen her covered in all of the local press, or perhaps you have browsed her vessels or wearable art jewelry at the High Desert Museum.

Award winning Shirley Checkos is a fine art oil painter whose art grabs your attention. The artist’s deep connection with wildlife is immediately obvious when you gaze into the eyes of her Pottery by Diane Miyauchi subjects in her unique wildlife paintings. It seems that the viewer can “look into the soul” of each animal.

Each painted canvas depicts a still, yet breathtaking moment in time. Viewers are amazed at the almost “high definition” details in her pieces.

Shirley’s love for animals is expressed in each of her paintings. You will be astounded by a regal male lion watching over his pride or a female giraffe taking care of her baby. Maybe an African elephant leading its herd or a hummingbird tasting a flower’s sweet nectar will catch your attention. The artist has traveled to Africa to expand her artistic vision. Viewing the animals in their natural habitat adds a layer of compassion for Painting by Shirley Checkos 26 www.CascadeAE.com| May 2013

nature’s magnificent creatures.

Also an accomplished portrait artist, Shirley’s enduring connection to nature is expressed through the eyes of her subjects, conveying the graceful and quiet moments of human life.

Pottery artist Diane Miyauchi knows that art is important to every aspect of our life. In keeping with that knowledge, Diane creates functional pottery. That means that Diane makes fine art designed to be used, and to delight every day. Maybe a trio of multisized bowls, all with a shiny black on the outer surface and each with a bright primary color on the inside, would look stunning holding fruit on your kitchen counter.

Or perhaps you would like a beautifully designed pie plate or serving dish that will ultimately become a family heirloom. Mixing bowls and small bowls with a handle that are just right for making salad dressing are often stuffed with a recipe that would be a perfect use for this piece of art.

Although Diane’s pottery is very functional (it can safely be placed in a microwave or dishwasher) and can be used daily for a multitude of tasks, it is still very much a beautiful piece of art that can be displayed when not in use.

Hot tip… Mother’s love Diane’s work. It almost flies out of the gallery because it has a price point that makes art available to everyone.

Stella Rose Powell is somehow able to convert her high energy, quirky personality in to the most amazing pieces of jewelry. And the really exciting thing is that the style of her pieces is always evolving. If you are lucky enough to already own a pair of earrings, necklace or bracelet, don’t let that stop you from hustling down to the Artists’ Gallery to see Stella’s latest creations.

Stella’s latest passion is hand forged copper cuffs with fired patinas. The heat is on! With spring in the air and the anticipation of summer, the warm hues of copper are reminiscent of sunny days and hot desert nights. All of the colors are created with a torch and the textures are roll printed from various materials. Each piece is one of a kind because the process is not a science, but art.

It is the inherent properties of the metal that bring out the beauty. Stella coaxes the process along using heat, cold water and salts. At the end of this artistic process, each piece is carefully protected from the air with a special coating giving it lasting beauty and a finished look.

Junell & Clinton at Sunriver Library

Early Morning Poppies by Bonnie Junell

he Friends of the Sunriver Area Library present an exhibit featuring painting by Bonnie Junell and jewelry/metalwork by Judy Clinton.

Junell was born in Portland and lives in Vancouver, Washington with her husband and son. She says, “As an artist, you look at everything with an artist’s perspective. When you look at clouds you think about shape, color and light.”

This artist’s eye and attention to detail is evident in her work, whether it’s a cityscape or landscape.

Junell’s work can be seen in galleries throughout Oregon and Washington, including the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver and the Heritage Gallery in Vancouver. She is a member of Oil Painters of America and Northwest Oil Painters Guild.

Clinton is from Madison, Wisconsin, where she completed a master of science degree in art (art

metal) with a minor in geology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. You can see examples of her illustration work in several geology books and in the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Rocks and Minerals, but she has recently returned to her personal artistic passion: art metal or metalsmithing.

Clinton says, “The construction of threedimensional objects is always fascinating and intriguing. Learning a new technique and combining it with other techniques gives me a sense of discovery and fun. I am captivated with using different metals in a piece, by asymmetry and geometric shapes, and with the contrast of Necklace by Judy Clinton smooth and patterned surfaces.”

The exhibit continues through the end of June. A portion of any sales from the Library gallery directly benefits the Friends of the Sunriver Area Library, and helps efforts to fund special programs at the Library. 56855 Venture Lane in Sunriver. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | May 2013 27

ori Salisbury Gallery held its official ‘soft opening’ last month in the old Clearwater Gallery on Highway 20 in Sisters.

Salisbury brings years of gallery experience having owned her own gallery in Estes Park, Boulder, Pagosa Springs and Loveland, Colorado. She is very excited to be showing her unique painting style, bronzes as well as giclees.

She has hand selected among the best artists in Central Oregon in a wide variety of mediums to join her. Patrons will find hand blown glass, exquisite fine pottery, fine gourd art, masks, painting, unique one of a kind furniture and jewelry.

These like minded artists put their spirit and passion into their work. This same spark will be evident as each artist will work and create in the Lori Salisbury Gallery. There will also be classes offered on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings until mid June picking up again in the fall and winter.

“With so many Gallery closures in Sisters in recent years, it seemed obvious that a cooperative style business plan will bring excitement along with a renewed art scene back to Sisters,” says Lori.

Welcome to The Sisters Country Vista Bonita Glass Art Studio & Gallery

by JEFF SPRY Cascade A&E Feature Writer for the stellar astro-photography of Brad Goldpaint, a Bend artist first introduced in Cascade A&E’s January 2013 cover story. “We’re so excited to have Brad in our gallery and love his work,” said the Chinns. “He’s really genuine and a huge talent. It’s going to be interesting seeing customers’ reaction to his wild, night sky pieces.

“We also have Patricia Kirk onboard, a painter who does palette knife paintings and landscapes using oil and wax paper.”

The stylish fused glass bowls and jewelry of Trish Voidance add another dimension of quality art to the eclectic shelves and display counters of Vista Bonita. “What I like about Trish’s work is that each piece is unique, named and never replicated,” said Jerry.

Branching out beyond original art, Vista Bonita will offer personal services for etching, carving, shading and airbrush enhancements on any material, from windows and doors to automotive glass, trophies and awards.

“Basically all types of architectural glass,” said Jerry. “If it’s glass… we can etch it.”

The Chinns are planning future workshops in glass beadmaking, stained glass, etching and a possible advanced sculpture class with Kirkvliet as a guest instructor.

“What we’ve done here has been a complete leap of faith,” explained Jerry. “We’re very excited. The moon, the sun and the stars all aligned to make it happen and we’re happy to be artisans and business owners in Sisters and love what we do.”

leaming in the spring sun, Vista Bonita Glass Art Studio and Gallery opened last month beside Donterra Artworks in Sisters. It’s a bright collection of whimsical, functional glass art, designer ceramics, fine art photography and unique landscape paintings.

Owners Jerry and Debbie Chinn are proprietors of this latest glass emporium and are thrilled to be part of the regional art scene. Dangling from the new gallery’s storefront windows is a rainbow array of Jerry and Debbie Chinn hand-blown glass hummingbird feeders in various styles and shapes, luring unsuspecting customers in off the streets.

Each transparent feeder is crafted from borosilicate glass, the same material Pyrex is created from, and decorated with colorful accents and 12-gauge copper wire for the hangers. “I now offer a dripless feeder that allows hummingbirds to drink out of a beautiful glass flower,” said Debbie. “It’s less mess and there’s a wick inside to keep bees out.”

The educational aspect of the Americana classes in Sisters schools gives Chinn a chance to share the ancient process of traditional glass blowing with interested students.

“What we like about the whole project is that it’s there to fund and encourage youth to explore the arts,” said Debbie. “I was a teaching assistant for an alternative education school and used to love having kids come to the studio and make glass beads. That was one of the most rewarding jobs I ever did.”

Debbie started working with glass when she was seventeen. She moved to Prairie City back in 1990 and eventually migrated to Bend in 2011.

“The arts community is really what brought us here,” said Jerry. “We wanted to be able to do our art, sell our art and be part of that creative scene. This was the perfect place to land. We were traveling between Oregon and Mexico and wanted to settle down.

In addition to their artisan glassworks, Vista Bonita also sells the luminous creations of Washington’s glass wizard, Brian Kerkvliet.

As the owner of Gossamer Glass Studio and founder of Inspiration Farm Glass School, his stunning, ornate art is an amazing catalog of furnace-blown glass goblets, chandeliers, urns and lamps. “Brian has worked with Italian masters and is incredible,” said Debbie. “I studied with him through his advanced glass program in Washington. He’s very patient and calm as an instructor.”

And celebrating the stars, Vista Bonita is now the exclusive dealer Debbie at work in the studio

Madras Studio on 5th Offers Student Art Classes

S

tudio on 5th, a multi-media art studio, in connection with the Madras Aquatic Center Recreation Program (MAC) is sponsoring an “Exploring Various Art Media” Summer Children’s Program at their studio located directly across the street from Rio’s, 220 SW 5th St., Madras.

Classes will include block printing, introduction to wood burning and mask making with Sculpy.

“We want students to experience different creative art expressions,” explains studio partner Royce Embanks, who specializes in hand-carved and painted birds and fish.

Studio partner Sharon Miller carves, paints and does other multi-media creations along with Tom Miller, photographer who specializes in local area photos. Other artists include, Tasha Terrell, jewelry; Bill Montgomery, wood carving; Jean Montgomery, paintings; Harold Cassity, spoons and relief carving; and Al Kozak, wine bottle stoppers, made with Oregon woods.

Studio on 5th also hosts the High Desert Carvers, an informal club which welcomes anyone interested in creative art expression to drop in to visit and see what it’s all about.

Embanks and Millers opened the Studio in 2003 on Sixth St. (formerly called Sixth Street Artist Studio), and moved to its present location in 2010. Artists have worked with Best Care in offering art therapy classes for children after school hours.

Redmond Airport Unveils Peak Finder

ecently the Redmond Municipal Airport hosted a Redmond Chamber of Commerce and CVB Coffee Clatter to help unveil the Airport’s newest edition to its public art collection.

The sculpture named Peak Finder, a handcrafted metal representation of Central Oregon’s Cascade Mountains, was generously donated by Eagle Crest residents Bob and Margaret Wilson.

Bob and Margret were inspired to commission the piece for the airport one day after returning from a trip. While at the airport they overheard comments on how wonderful the view of the mountains were. This quickly was followed by questions of

The Studio carries one-of-a-kind items including jewelry, woodwork, hand-painted folk-art, knit and crocheted items. Each year artists participate in the Deschutes County Sportsman’s Show in March and also at the fair in Redmond. Their work is shown for competition in shows at Lincoln City each January, San Diego each February, Burns and Victoria B.C. in April and Vancouver, Washington each September.

Embanks was initiated to wood carving in 1986 at a demonstration at the Portland Forestry Center by Craig Strand, who became his mentor, because “He didn’t laugh at my first attempt.”

He went home after the demonstration, carved a wood duck out of a 4 x 4 piece of wood, painted and put in eyes. He took the carving to the Feather & Quill Carvers Club in Vancouver, Washington and joined the club the next year. His carving was juried at the Wild Birds and Wood Show and he was asked to participate in that show. His first carving sold for $500.

Embanks won the Best of Division in the Antique Decoy Competition in Vancouver, Washington in 2010 and 2011. In 2012 he placed thrid Best of Show in San Diego. He won second and third places in World Fish Carving Championships in Reno in 2007 and received first in Canadian Fish Carving for a large mouth bass.

Hours are limited to Saturdays, 10am to 2pm and Thursdays 3- 8pm. Artists are also available for appointments most days. 541-325-1586, Royce & 541475-4235 for the Millers.

the peaks names. There was no one there to answer the traveler’s question. So that got Bob and Margret thinking-- wouldn’t it be nice to have a peak finder at the Airport to assist local residents, Central Oregon visitors and other travelers alike to help identify our beautiful mountains.

The Peak Finder is permanently installed in the center island in front of the terminal and is aligned with the view of the Cascade Mountain range.

The public is encouraged to visit the terminal and try out the Peak Finder.

While at the Airport, you are invited to tour the 50th Art Show, the Power of Red a local artist showcase that is now on display in the terminal until May 10.

Elevate your Dining

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

I

would have never known that this was the first time most of the COCC culinary students had even met—let alone cooked for—Elevation executive chef John Nelson. Although I had been advised to patronize culinary school restaurants closer to the end of the term than the beginning, my friends and I had jumped at the chance to be guinea pigs on the students’ very first night of the spring term, before the restaurant even opened to the public. I knew that John, whose cooking I ate as often as possible when he had his Blue Olive restaurant at Brasada Ranch, would make sure his crew delivered, no matter how green they might be.

We started the evening with sparkling wine served in chilled champagne glasses—a Bend first—and John’s unparalleled crab cakes served with two sauces—a watercress crème fraiche and a red radish mignonette. The sauces took the crispy crab cakes to a whole new level, but they would have been absolutely delicious even without.

“The secret is there’s no secret,” said John, who was born and raised on the Oregon coast.

“Less is more.”

You’re not going to find corn, red peppers or much of anything besides silky lumps of crab meat in John’s crab cakes.

Elevation’s mussels “I love crab cakes. I make crab cakes. These are amazing,” announced my friend Leah.

The chefs-in-training then brought out the two charcuterie platters that our table of four would be sharing along with a basket of rosemary flatbread crackers dusted with sea salt. I’m still trying to get over the fact that the house-cured prosciutto (think silky saltiness) and the Genoa salami, whose consistency reminded me of rillettes, weren’t store bought. Neither was the huckleberry mustard. “Mustard is my specialty,” announced returning student chef Tracy before quickly adding, “After Chef trained me.” Wedges of Rogue Blue and Rim Rock goat cheese, pickled cauliflower with roasted red pepper and jalapeno, and pickled butternut squash that is far superior to any other butternut squash preparation I’ve ever tasted rounded out the plates and our taste buds.

Next came the Oregon Spring Salad. What a visual—and taste—treat! On one end of the long, narrow white plate, a mound of vibrant wild greens including miner’s lettuce, watercress and verbena accented with micro fennel and red vein sorrel and lightly dressed in a sage honey lemon vinaigrette. On the other side, multi-hued and earthy fingerling potatoes and a port-poached ramp. A soft-poached egg yolk anchored the plate, the pale yellow ball turning golden orange and runny once punctured with a fork. “This salad explains John totally,” said my friend Jake, who worked and trained under John before taking over as executive chef at Kebaba.

To be sure, every element of this coastal voyage was perfectly cooked.

We were probably lucky that John chose not to serve the Wild Mushroom Risotto that’s on the streamlined menu that night. We might not have survived, especially considering how well the grilled pork tenderloin went over. Brined in smoked green tea, it unexpectedly reminded me of tea-cured duck in terms of both texture and taste. The secret (and there actually is one) to the tenderness lies in its 1 ½ -hour sousvide bath followed by flash grilling. “The pork is through the roof,” said Jake. Then there was the huckleberry chutney and a puree of sweet potato and leek. Double through-the-roof yum.

We ended the meal with a chocolate tart in a brown butter and hazelnut crust with a pear poached in white wine. When the culinary staff realized that they didn’t have a dessert for us, one of the students had just whipped it up.

Emmylou Harris

Old Yellow Moon with Rodney Crowell

I

f legendary singer/songwriter Gram Parson was Emmylou Harris’s first mentor, then Rodney Crowell is her newest purveyor. Harris and Crowell have been friends and collaborators since they first met in 1974.

While they always wanted to make an album together, they never got around to it until now.

This 2013 collaboration between two of country music’s most respected artists is a celebration of much-loved songs. Harris’ first solo album, Pieces of the Sky, was released in 1975 after the death of her singing partner, Gram Parsons. The opening track on the album is a song called Bluebird Wine, by a then-unknown songwriter named Rodney Crowell. She recorded two more of his songs on her next album, got him to join her band in the mid-’70s and now, after an almost 40-year friendship, the two musicians have recorded an album together called Old Yellow Moon.

12-time Grammy Award–winner, Emmylou Harris is admired as much for her eloquently straightfor ward songwriting as for her exceptionally expressive singing.

Few in pop or country music have achieved such honesty or revealed such maturity in their writing. Forty years into her career, Harris shares the hard-earned wisdom that comes with getting older, though she never stops looking ahead.

Crowell is also a Grammy Award-winning musician, known primarily for both the alternative country and the mainstream country music camps. He was married to Rosanne Cash (daughter of Johnny Cash), from 1979 to 1992 and they had an influence on each other’s careers, with Rodney producing most of her albums during that period and her success influencing his songwriting.

Old Yellow Moon features four songs written by Crowell as well as interpretations of songs such as Hank DeVito’s Hanging Up My Heart, Roger Miller’s Invitation to the Blues and Allen Reynolds’ Dreaming My Dreams, among others.

Produced by Brian Ahern ( Johnny Cash, George Jones, Roy Orbison), Old Yellow Moon is the first official collaboration from the duo since Crowell joined Harris’ Hot Band as guitarist and harmony singer in 1975. In addition to Harris and Crowell, the album features world-renowned musicians including Stuart Duncan, Vince Gill and Bill Payne, as well as members of the original Hot Band.

The Weather Machine Self Titled Album

N

ew Portland band, The Weather Machine, has released a fantastic first self-titled album. Sisters native Slater Smith was instrumental in the group’s formation, and the result is a melodic album (evocative of Josh Ritter, The Tallest Man on Earth and Gregory Alan Isakov) anchored by Slater’s seductive vocals.

The 23 year-old vocalist left Willamette University last year with a degree in Political Science and soon had assembled a bevy of talented musicians: bassist and singer Jack Martin, percussionist Corey Kintizi and producer/musician Colin Robson with help from cellist Mathew Cartmill and Slater’s brother, drummer Tanner Smith.

Slater attributes his singing and songwriting abilities to the popular and awardwinning Americana Project, “I wouldn’t be playing music if it wasn’t for the Americana Project,” he remarked. The highly successful program was developed to inspire the creativity of Sisters’ youth, and to demonstrate the cultural and historical significance of American roots music and cultural expression. Entering the program as a sophomore, he began playing the guitar and penning songs. Tanner also participated in the Americana Project and was heavily involved in the Sisters jazz program.

The Weather Machine is the first album produced in Robson’s Pacific City studio, Kiwanda Sound Recordings. Together with friend and partner Andrew Russell, the studio has succeeded in producing a polished and cohesive first production.

Many of the tracks can stand alone as strong representations of the group’s indie sound and song writing abilities, but listening to the album as a whole, the stories unfolds.

Three tracks, Act I – III are the strongest examples of Slater’s songwriting ability in a poetic story rooted deeply in the folk music tradition. Act I Skeleton Jack, Act II Chorus and Act III Alexei Mikhail is cautionary tale of sin, revenge and a grand bargain with the devil.

Nature and a sense of place are strong themes throughout the album and in some of my favorite tracks, Galaxies! and Over All the Land.

The Weather Machine has a number of shows scheduled in Portland over the next few months, and if we are lucky, they will return to Central Oregon again soon (their CD Release party was at The Belfry in Sisters).

Steve Earle The Low Highway

teve Earle says he had two reasons for coming out with this long-planned tribute to Townes Van Zandt now. The first reason is practical. Earle is currently pushing himself to finish a years-in-the-making novel, and he wants to see it in print before the publishing business goes belly up (according to Earle).

The second is a more personal concern. Like all artists worthy of the name, Steve Earle loves the truth, and in the case of Van Zandt, he sees that the waters are muddying before his eyes. Very often over periods of years, the truth first becomes myth and myth later becomes truth.

In regards to his teacher, hero and friend Townes Van Zandt, Steve Earle was not about to let that happen.

The Townes Van Zandt Steve Earle knew was largescreen and hi-def, a man of glorious contradictions, fearsome abilities and head-spinning complexity. Before Earle had careers as a rockabilly artist, young gun in the neo-traditional country movement, outlaw rocker, stonecold junkie, and his triumphant rebirth as a Grammywinning neo-Woody Guthrie and actor/activist/writer of prose/citizen of the world, he was a teenager literally in thrall of Townes Van Zandt.

According to an acknowledgement in the Washington Post: Low Highway covers a lot of ground. Earle’s marble mouth sometimes makes it tough to tell, but he laments homelessness on “Invisible, makes peace with loneliness on After Mardi Gras, riffs on rednecks on Calico County and contemplates torching a Wal-Mart on Burnin’ It Down.

The tunes are sturdy, and there’s a ramshackle charm to the performances, which have a first-take vibe. Even so, this is coffeehouse country rather than Earle at his edgiest. By the end, on the shamelessly sentimental Remember Me, he contemplates his legacy singing to his four-year-old son.

The 58-year-old troubadour clearly is enjoying the ride and wants to keep rolling.

Earle also brings back to life elements of Van Zandt’s life that are now fading into memory. There was Van Zandt’s outdoorsy side, also emblemized here by Colorado Girl, which was borne of Van Zandt’s long solitary horseback rides through the high Rockies. There’s the off-kilter humor of Delta Momma Blues and the Edvard Munch- like terror of songs like Rake, Lungs and Where I Lead Me, but also the gentle thrills of songs-to-plantmorning-glories-to like No Place to Fall and Don’t Take It Too Bad. A few weeks ago, Earle told an interviewer from Rolling Stone Magazine that Colorado Girl was his favorite Townes song. Today, it’s Don’t Take it Too Bad. That’s not fickleness. Most Van Zandt fans go through a litany of favorite Townes songs every year, because he was that rare songwriter who could furnish you a different favorite song of all time for your every mood. What’s more, he was a writer whose palette of emotions ran to shades and nuances we haven’t yet named.

Sunriver Music Festival Announces 36th Season’s Concerts

T

ickets are now on sale for the Sunriver Music Festival’s 36th season with the theme Come Dance With Us – Let the Music Move You. Artistic Director and Conductor George Hanson will lead the world class Festival Orchestra in five classical concerts and a Pops concert.

The 36th season also includes a solo piano recital plus free orchestra rehearsals and the annual Festival Faire dinner and auction fundraiser.

After record-breaking ticket sales in 2012, the Festival Board of Trustees offered an extended contract to George Hanson through 2016.

“Maestro Hanson has introduced new programming to appeal to a wider audience,” explains Pam Beezley of the Sunriver Music Festival.

“In 2012, over 32 percent of our total audience were first timers. They had not been to a Festival event in the past. The concerts appealed to new concert patrons and that’s a trend we want to continue.”

Maestro Hanson took the helm at the Tucson Symphony Orchestra (TSO) in 1996 and has led the regional orchestra to international acclaim. TSO’s first recording, released September 2008, reached number two on U.S. Classical Charts, and was lauded by critics around the globe.

Hanson filled in as Guest Conductor for the Sunriver Music Festival in 2011 when the Festival’s long-time Artistic Director Lawrence Leighton Smith was unable to conduct due to illness. His first full season with the Festival was 2012.

The Quiet American: A Timeless Tale

by MITCH GRIMMETT, A&E Editorial Intern

Photo from quietamericanmusic.com

n May 20 the Bend Ukulele Group will be hosting The Quiet American for a workshop and show that is sure to delight every set of ears in attendance. Aaron Keim and his wife Nicole are a talented folk duo that has been quickly gaining the attention of music lovers everywhere with their new album Wild Bill Jones. The album attempts to take listeners back in time to a place dominated by sheriffs and black hat wearing desperados, through a series of reliably crafted songs that tell a rather tragic tale.

As Aaron explained in an interview with Hood River News, “The song Wild Bill Jones is about two men who fall in love with the same woman. One of them shoots the other and then the shooter hangs. We took this story and told it from each of their perspectives.”

Furthermore, as if that weren’t enough to pique one’s interest, some of the instruments that help the duo to breathe life into this tale were built by Aaron himself. Aaron builds ukuleles and banjo ukuleles for Mya-Moe Ukuleles in White Salmon, Washington.

These instruments are used by many well-known artists, such as Eddie Vedder and the legendary Mumford and Sons.

Needless to say, the wait time for one these hand-crafted, quality instruments is extensive and readers that are looking to begin their own ukulele adventures may Aaron and Nicole Keim want to place their orders ahead of time. However, even if you don’t intend to pick up a new instrument in the near future, May 20 is a date to mark on the calendar for anyone that enjoys the art of storytelling as well as a solid country duet.

If an event including both of these things sounds irresistible, head down to Kelly D’s on Monday night to learn from incredibly passionate musicians at the 6:30pm workshop while enjoying great food and drinks at the main show only an hour later. In addition, the Bend Ukulele Group is encouraging young players to come out and attend the workshop by pricing youth tickets at a mere $5 for both workshop and show access. All proceeds from this event will go to Aaron and Nicole, so make sure to come get your ukulele fix during this very special evening. atch young kids experience music through experimentation. www.bendukulelegroup.org.

The Power of Experimentation

exists in all of us, young and old, experienced and beginner, extroverted or introverted.

At Northwest Crossing Annual Spring Festival, I was reminded of the power and beauty of making music. This year, Cascade School of Music brought our “Musical Petting Zoo” and several of our star musical ensembles to the two day festival. Our musical petting zoo is a collection of instruments, including trombones, a trumpet, small violins, a guitar, a ukulele, mandolins, bongos, glockenspiels, a crash symbol and two flutes (and lots of sanitizer!), intended for kids of all ages to pick up and try out.

In the cold morning sun on Saturday, even before we were finished unpacking cases, tuning strings and hanging our banner, curious little hands were reaching for the instruments, ready to make music.

Over the course of the weekend, amidst a great cacophony of instruments being played at the same time, precious moments of curiosity and triumph transpired. A determined two-and-a-half year old made sound out of a full-sized trombone. A little boy stood in the middle of our tent and played open strings on a violin, transfixed by the sound as kids and instruments whirled around him. Some visitors diligently picked up and attempted to play each instrument, while others returned three, four or five times to play the single instrument that most caught their interest. Each act was a celebration of sound, the simple thrill of notes and rhythm.

Kids, like adults, seek to express themselves in many different ways. It takes courage to try something new. Watching kids brave the crowds to pick up a trumpet and blow is a simple reminder that carries a powerful message: the value of music is in the making.

T

he Starry Nights Benefit Concert Series returns for its fifteenth season with a solo acoustic performance by Keb’ Mo’ when he appears at the Sisters High School Auditorium on Saturday, May 18 at 7pm. The concert series is a benefit for the Sisters Schools Foundation, and has raised more than $1 million for Sisters schools since its inception in 1997 – a milestone which will be celebrated at the Keb’ Mo’ concert.

Opening the concert will be Jena Rickards and Friends. Rickards, a Sisters High School graduate, is an accomplished singer-songwriter who will be joined by Nashville musicians Cody Fry and Niko Xidas.

“Keb’ Mo’ last performed at Starry Nights in 2008, and his show remains a highlight of the series,” said event co-founder Jeri Fouts. “Thanks to his tremendous generosity in once again donating his time, he will help us continue the tradition of great artists joining with our community to keep Sisters schools strong. We are thrilled to be able to welcome him and his music back to Sisters for this very special evening.”

Born Kevin Moore in South Los Angeles to parents originally from the deep South, Mo’s music is an expression of the artistic and cultural journey that has transformed the blues, and his own point of view, over time. His distinctive sound embraces multiple eras and genres, including pop, soul, folk and jazz as well as the singer-songwriter movement.

Last year, Keb’ Mo’ was invited by President Obama to participate in a special blues performance in the East Room of the White House, which was taped for a PBS special Red, White & Blues. In 2013, he received his sixth Grammy nomination for The Reflection, the debut recording on his own Yolabelle International label.

Organized by volunteers, Starry Nights debuted in 1997 and has featured performances donated

by Vince Gill, Amy Grant, Lyle Lovett, Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Kathy Mattea, Rodney Crowell, Kim Carnes, John Hiatt, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lee Ann Womack, Gary Morris, Nicolette Larson, Karla Bonoff, On the Rocks and The High Street Band, among others.

With the Sisters School District cutting over $3 million from already thin budgets in the last four years, Starry Nights continues to provide support that helps keep vital programs alive. Reserved tickets starting at $35 will be available at www.sistersstarrynights.org or call 541-549-8521 ext. 4007.

New Perspective For May by Eileen Lock

ake a plan as this month begins and be ready to follow through with it. Conversations on the 3rd may ask for a commitment and you will need to have faith in what you are doing. Take action on the 5th and let go of needing to convince others about your choices. The 7th is a turning point and you will be required to do what you promised. Have faith in the direction you are going and realize that it is definitely time to act on what you say.

The New Moon on the 9th is combined with a Solar Eclipse and it may ask you to change your plan. Remember there are always many ways to achieve a goal. Everyone has something to say on the 11th so listen closely and you will learn. Trust yourself on the 13th and make sure you still believe in your choices. Everything speeds up after the 15th so be ready to act quickly. Listen to your inner dialogue on the 18th and continue to remind yourself to be confident.

A big change of directions presents itself on the 20th so keep an open mind to what comes up. The Full Moon on the 24th is combined with a Lunar Eclipse and will ask you to follow your heart. You may need to juggle many different experiences on the 27th and it will be important to enjoy yourself along the way. Be honest with yourself on the 31st and consider doing something completely different on that day. Explore new situations and realize that you have many options. Trust that you will still get to where you want to be even when many parts have changed.
