Autumn Events Heat Up

love Central Oregon in the fall. Not only does the dusting of snow on the mountains hint at adventures to come on the slopes of the Cascades, the deepening hues of the foliage introduce a richer palette to our landscape and the sharp bite in the air propel us towards steaming cups of tea and hearty porters, but Central Oregon’s cultural scene practically hums with activity. Enjoy movies? One of my favorite events of October has to be BendFilm. Between pouring over the schedule of films, rubbing elbows with filmmakers in line for coffee and running between the seven theatres over the four days, BendFilm brings shocking, heart-breaking, inspiring and hilarious films to town and never fails to leave a lasting impression. Fall is the start of the musical seasons for many organizations including High Desert Chamber Music (The Thies Consort at the Tower Theatre on October 3), Jazz at the Oxford ( Javon Jackson Band with special guest Les McCann on October 25 and 26), Redmond Community Concert Association (Diane Lines on October 20 at Ridgeview High School) and the Central Oregon Symphony (2013 Young Artist Competition at Bend High School from October 19 – 21). Do you like to escape to the stage during the turning of the seasons? Cascades Theatrical Company will finish their run of Dixie Swim Club on October 5, 2nd Street Theater hosts their inaugural Playwrights Platform on October 5–6 and finishes the month with their dinner theatre production of Murder at the Monster Bash October 25 – 26 and the Tower Theatre begins their Center Stage Series with Manhattan Transfer on October 29.

Local Author Erik Dolson Publishes Novel

Erik Dolson

rik Dolson of Sisters has published a novel about love, deception and the desire to be “known.” Chalice chronicles a year in the lives of Peter and Debra, who live in Port Cedar on Vincente Island in Puget Sound. Through a series of emails, the two help each other through small ups and downs, share pasts as they disagree about intimacy and love, then create fantasy worlds where it is easier to “be themselves” than it is in real life. Eventually their worlds collide, and each learns selfdeception can be the most insidious lie of all. “These two characters share many characteristics, even when they disagree, and may even mirror each other,” said Dolson. “I wanted to show how difficult it can be to separate ‘what’s real’ from what we want the most, or fear the most. And how we define the world that also defines us.” While the book could be thought of as a story about love, Dolson cautions that it is not a romance. He sees the primary market for Chalice, classified as literary fiction, as “people who read books that invite them to think, maybe join book clubs to share what they’ve read.” Dolson has lived in Central Oregon for more than 30 years where he helped raise his two daughters. He

published and edited the Nugget Newspaper in Sisters from 1982 until 2007, owns commercial real estate in downtown Bend, served on the Deschutes County Planning Commission, the Sisters School Board and the Oregon Board of Medical Examiners. After the girls were fledged and his ex-wife took over responsibility for the newspaper, he returned to writing fiction. Many will recognize elements of Dolson’s life in the character of Peter, who also drives race cars and is, at times, a writer. But he says the book is not an autobiography. “Though I included elements of my own life in both central characters, I did so because I could describe these events accurately and with passion. I paint scenes I see outside my window, but that does not mean anything is a self-portrait. The book grew out of my imagination, with chapters written to drive the story or carry the theme.” Dolson graduated from Stanford olson is reading from Chalice at Paulina Springs Books University in 1973 with a degree in in Sisters at 6pm on Friday, October 4 and at Dudley’s philosophy.

Red White Black by Rick Steber A True Story of Race & Rodeo

ed White Black, recently released by Prineville Author Rick Steber, tells the true story of the 1911 Pendleton Round-Up. Three men of different skin colors – Jackson Sundown, John Spain and George Fletcher – are brought together during the finals of the Northwest Saddle Bronc Championship. What happened that September day, the judges’ decision and the reaction of the crowd in the aftermath, forever changed the sport of rodeo, and the way the emerging West was to look at itself. Jackson Sundown

was on the Nez Perce retreat, but rather than surrender at Bear Paw with his uncle, Chief Joseph, he escaped to Canada and lived with Sitting Bull. He returned to the United States as a fugitive, and eventually, at age 53, Sundown whipped the cowboy at his own game and became the first man of color to win the All-Around title at the Pendleton Round-Up. John Spain was from white pioneering stock. When Buffalo Bill brought his Wild West show to Oregon in 1902, John and his brother were inspired to form a show of their own. They traveled the Northwest with a string of bucking horses and put on riding exhibitions. After a roping accident cost John his right hand, he had to learn to ride with his off-hand and made a comeback at the Pendleton Round-Up. At the outbreak of World War One, the cowboys of Eastern Oregon formed their own cavalry unit, Troop D. George Fletcher, an African American, tried to join, but Jim Crow, the strict segregation of the races, was the law of the land and George was not allowed to join his peers. He was drafted into the segregated Army, served in France, was wounded and never again was able to compete in the sport of Rodeo.

Rick Steber

Rick Steber, who spent nearly four decades researching this story, has more than 30 titles under his belt and sales of over a million books. Rick is the only Oregon author to have won the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award – Best Western Novel. He is a keen observer of the challenging American West and he articulates these changes in prose that are boldly descriptive, invigorating and creative. His writing has been compared to Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck, McMurtry and Stegner. bonanza@ricksteber.com.

SMART Art: Show, Sale & Social

earning to read is one of the most important steps in a child’s life, laying the vital foundation for future knowledge and education. Each year, SMART reaches thousands of Central Oregon children with vital one-on-one reading support and books for those who need them most. At the SMART Art: Show, Sale and Social, more than $13,000 was raised from a live auction of works donated by local artists, raffle tickets and other activities adding excitement and fun to the evening. SMART students entered their own pieces of art to be judged by volunteers Cindy Daubert, Marcee Hillman of Cascade A&E magazine and eight-year-old Emma Carpenter, with age categories ranging from zero to 18, plus a volunteer adult category. The Best in Show award was present to 11-year-old Victoria Tompkins from Cascade Middle School for her piece, Rockin’ My New School Shoes. SMART volunteers read one-on-one with students weekly during the school year, modeling a love of reading and building children’s reading skills and self-confidence in a positive, childdriven environment. www.getsmartoregon.org.

Inspired by science fiction author Ray Bradbury’s 1948 novel The Martian Chronicles – and the Moon Be Still as Bright, the film will showcase the grandeur of Oregon’s panoramic vistas, lush wilderness, and crystalline lakes. Patricia West-Del Ruth, local oregon media and production government rep and creative consultant for independent filmmakers, will be facilitating the casting. Still Moon is set in the mid 1800s and begins with the arrival of a railroad survey team to Central Oregon. Upon discovering a ravaged Native American campsite, one of the crew members is torn between continuing to chart the map for the railroads and fighting for what he believes in. Sparks Lake, Shevlin Park, Camp Sherman and the caves of Old China Hat Road will be extensively featured. The fourday production begins October 14. Bend native Daniel Rink is the director of photography for Still Moon. A 2005 graduate of Bend Senior High School, Daniel interned at BendBroadband and Cascade Publications Inc. and earned his bachelors in film from Brooks Institute in Ventura, California. When the opportunity to work on Still Moon was offered, Rink suggested that the Central Oregon area was well suited for the movie’s setting. Huang, who studied at the University of Kansas and is also a graduate of Brooks Institute, has worked on a number of short films, commercial specs and a music video as both a cinematographer and

Four Finalists in Playwrights Platform

n October 5 at 7:30 pm and October 6 at 2pm, Stage Right Productions will present scenes from four new plays in the First Annual Playwrights Platform at 2nd Street Theater. Judges will vote to determine which play will be fully produced in May 2014. In 2013, Stage Right and 2nd Street worked closely with three Central Oregon playwrights to produce and promote their works on the 2nd Street Theater stage. Two playwrights had no experience producing plays but all three had a good level of success, selling over 55 percent of capacity or more on average. Stage Right established The Playwrights Platform, a competition for amateur new works to be submitted and eventually produced. A panel consisting of five judges from Central Oregon with professional writing or theatre production experience was chosen to read the submissions. A total of 12 quality works Bob Woodward hard at work were submitted then four were chosen by the panel. The four finalists are Home Cooking by Bob Woodward, Turn the Hourglass, Quickly by Kathleen Tomko, Blemished the Musical by Katelyn Alexander and Mark of Cain by Gary Earl Ross. Tickets $5 www.2ndstreettheater.com, 220 NE Lafayette in Bend.

What’s HOWSA? You’ll have to ask Ivana. And while it seemed like a pretty good idea at first, she’s having secondthoughts now that she’s found out what’s buried underneath the restaurant. Her half-sisters, Iona and Isabella Crump, her ex-husband Conner and her husband Clark, all agree and wish this spooky night would end. But before the night is over, the coffin in the corner might turn out to be more than just a creepy decoration. 2ndstreettheater@gmail.com, 541-312-9626.

es Miserables, the award winning musical based on the novel by Victor Hugo and seen by over 65 million people in 42 countries, will have its Central Oregon premiere when it opens at the Tower Theatre, as part of its Marquee Series, on September 12, 2014 for a limited run of six performances. Les Miserables is being produced by Shore Thing Productions, the company that staged 1776 in Concert with an all female cast at the Tower in 2012. Les Miserables is an epic tale of passion and destruction that presents a powerful affirmation of redemption and the human spirit. The story is set in 19th century France, a nation in the grip of revolution, and focuses on convict Jean Valjean, who is on the run while being hunted relentlessly for breaking his parole by his adversary, police inspector Javert. Valjean has no choice but to fight for his life and sacrifice everything to honor the

promises he has made and protect the people he loves. The production’s singers will be guided throughout rehearsals by Jason Stein and Nancy Engebretson, founders of Opera Bend, and accompanied at performances by a full orchestra conducted by Central Oregon Symphony Maestro, Michael Gesme. The performers will be directed, in an all new staging, by Mike Nowak, who will be assisted by Brad Ruder. Mike and Brad most recently directed The Bend Follies. Michelle Mejaski, owner of the award winning Gotta Dance Studio and Company, will oversee the production’s choreographed stage movement. Appointments must be made for auditions on either November 4 or 5 and can be scheduled by calling 541-526-0233. All roles are open! Call backs for actors selected for final auditions will be held on November 12 from 6-10pm. www.shorethingproductions.com. 541-526-0233.

Ken Scott’s Distinct Imagination

Arts

by JEFF SPRY Cascade A&E Feature Writer

Photos by Jeff Spry

rtistic wizard Ken Scott brings his dreamy sculpted creations in steel to a new Imagination Gallery in downtown Sisters. Like something out of Harry Potter’s wonderful world, Scott’s fanciful conjurings evoke metallic fixtures and home decor from another, more romantic age, steeped in Victorian gothic flair and injected with one frighteningly wild imagination. “It’s Captain Nemo meets Luke Skywalker,” Scott joyously exclaimed, welcoming visitors to his extraordinary exhibition. “It’s where the past meets the future. My art is very difficult to label and pinpoint. Preserving and recognizing originality is something more people need to understand.” Setting up his downtown gallery in the Hood Avenue spot vacated by DonTerra Artworks, Scott hustles around his new building with boundless energy. Imagination Gallery is a captivating showcase of towering outdoor pavilions, ornate chandeliers, lyrical lamps and gleaming steel-cut wall landscapes. “I’m a self-taught artist, never took a class in my life. Anytime I sell something I reinvest it right back into the art. My whole picture is about inspiration and motivation. I’ve found something that held my interest long enough to get good at it.” Baptized into the beauty of Scott’s realm, observation becomes the prerequisite for graduating beyond his basic Art 101 curriculum. “To observe is to grow,” he mused. “Inspiration gets you started but deadlines make you finish. No project is ever truly done.” Scott has lived over in the Willamette Valley for 30 years, where he raised a family and managed a successful gallery. “I’ve always wanted to be over here in Sisters. I love this country and decided I’d do anything to be here.” During the recent Sisters Folk Festival, Scott entertained wary evening music lovers by lighting his rusted metal garden arch’s miniature blackened rhino, erected on the gallery’s side lawn. But Scott’s metal menagerie is not restricted to lamps and garden art. Sprinkled on the green Ken Scott grass outside is a 12-foottall steepled gazebo, vintage tractor seat chairs, scrap metal firepits and an American Eagle chariot crafted in his exuberant signature style. Scott still resides in Leaburg, where his workshop and home are, presently commuting back and forth to the gallery in Sisters. “I’ll transition my studio to Sisters, eventually having two workshops. I’ll have an outdoor workshop behind the gallery where people can observe the work and

not disturb the artist.” Scott started out in tough circumstances, insurmountable for some people, but when fate fortuitously tossed him into metal work it became the perfect therapy. “I haven’t designed my life very well, but in this pursuit of art I’ve found the doors to many things I could have done, but keep returning to my metal work and art. These lamps are not just lamps, they’re jewelry for your home.” In a sublime marriage made in Heaven, the difficult medium of metal perfectly meets Scott’s gruff, malleable personality. “It’s aggressive and it’s hot and it’s brutal. I feel the metal has produced mettle in my life, bringing enlightenment and discipline.” That precious elixir of discipline is front and center in Scott’s life, revealed in every glint and glimmer of his fiercely original work. One of the premier pieces in his collection is a fairytale Cinderella chariot made from hammered steel and further adorned with vintage farm implements and old scavenged auto parts. This trailblazing artist plans to bring the impressive carriage to Sisters for his grand opening next Spring where it will be a prime feature and majestic fixture of Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery. The convoluted formula for what keeps the infernos of creative fire burning for Scott is a complicated one, best left to its own mystery. “Creativity is all about showing up,” he said. “Inspiration is easy but sweat comes hard. Art is such an intensely personal endeavor, to do it my way and to have a communication with an audience. It’s about the love of my work and the love of life.” 222 West Hood Ave., Sisters, ww.kenscottsculptures.com, 541-912-0732. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | October 2013

BendFilm Selection Process Choosing the Best Among 450 Films by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

eciding which movies will make a splash during the BendFilm each year can be a daunting task, if only for the sheer numbers of films which apply. For the 82 official selections in this year’s line-up, the BendFilm selection committee members watched, evaluated and rated 450 films. “We use Withoutabox.com, an industry-wide submission program for filmmakers,” explained Festival Director Orit Schwartz. “We get the majority of submissions for BendFilm through that base, but I also look for films, know filmmakers or go to other film festivals. “Withoutabox is an amazing system that started about a decade ago. It’s become almost too easy to submit your film to a festival,” she said. Interested filmmakers fill out one form online and then can choose to submit among the thousands of festivals Withoutabox manages.” To keep the films current and exciting, BendFilm has When Ali Came to Ireland captures specific submission guidethe madcap week when legendary lines. A film needs to be a boxer Muhammad Ali went to fight in Central Oregon premier, Ireland at the height of his career.

a much smaller budget than a studio production and will be distributed by an independent company as well. Independent films can often be a way for filmmakers to explore their artistic vision and less mainstream subject matter.

The viewers are assigned to a category (narratives, documentaries, shorts, student shorts), and as they watch, will score the films on a 1-100 scale. “The instructions I give them include: if you were to go see a movie, would you recommend it to your friend? Do you like it? Do you think it is good quality?” The viewers act as a segment of the BendFilm audience, with many returning year after year. “We try to get a good demographic [of screeners]. You may be watching a ton of films in a row, some will be great, but you will see some movies that aren’t very good.” “The true reward in the process itself was watching all those films,” said Rachel Miller, a first time screener of documentaries. “There was so much talent, and I was one of the few people who got to see all those films, including some that might not have made it into the festival.” Over three months, she screened 55 films. “I love watching documentaries and even when the process was over I was having withdraws not being able to go home and have cool films to watch.” Once Miller and the screeners turned in their scores, Schwartz kept the

tallies in a spreadsheet until it was time to decide which films to invite to the festival. “The number of films chosen for an official slot each year has ebbed and flowed, but the 82 official selections this year is just about right,” she said. The downside to receiving so many submissions are the hundreds of rejections Schwartz and her team send out. “The movie may be awesome but sometimes we just don’t have room…We want the programming to reach a wide audience, and one of the pieces of feedback I give is that we only have so many slots. [First] it has to be a great film, but we can’t run 17 snowboarding movies, we have to pick the ones that we think would work the best.” Once the movies are chosen, the puzzle of scheduling them Running Blind is the story of EJ Life of the Party follows Jared Raninto four-day festival begins. “I try to rotate each movie in twice Scott, who last year set out to run 12 dell through a whirlwind of emotional through so people have a couple of opportunities to catch the marathons in 12 states for charity, all challenges.

City Walls at City Hall Unveils New Exhibit by LEONARD GROSS for Cascade A&E

f you’ve been trying to follow the debate over the future of Mirror Pond – and who hasn’t? – and have had trouble visualizing the various options, it might help you to pay a visit to City Hall in the near future. The City of Bend’s Arts, Beautification and Culture (ABC) Commission put out a call to Bend artists to tackle the theme Reflections on Mirror Pond - Past, Present, Future. Nine artists were selected for display in City Hall’s first floor corridor for six months starting October 4 at Bend City Hall, 710 NW Wall Street will be open from 5-8pm. Painting by Sue Gomen Honnell That evening, which is First Friday Art Walk, the artists will talk about their work from 6-7pm. The works are for sale, with all proceeds going to the artists. The October 4 gathering represents a change in policy for the ABC Commission. In the past, it had observed First Friday every month. Now, it will observe the custom twice yearly, on the occasion of the opening of a new show. Unlike commercial galleries, all of which exist to create profits, the ABC Commission is interested only in supporting the work of local artists for the benefit of the community. One First Friday tradition will remain the same: refreshments will be served. If you miss the First Friday gathering, you can view the exhibit by visiting City Hall weekdays from 8am-5pm. City Walls at City Hall is an arts initiative of the City of Bend Arts, Beautification & Culture Commission continuing to make a difference by inspiring the community through art. www.bendoregon.gov/abc.

Pat Clark to Exhibit in the Governor’s Office

program of the Oregon Arts Commission, Art in the Governor’s Office Program, has featured exhibitions of the work of professional Oregon artists in the Governor’s historic ceremonial office in Salem since 1975. The commission invites knowledgeable curators from across the state of Oregon to nominate up to five exceptional artists. The exhibits give participating artists the opportunity to present their work in the stately Oregon Elements by Pat Clark Pat Clark atmosphere of the State Capitol. Considered a lifetime honor, a limited number of artists receive an invitation to exhibit in this special exhibition. A nationally respected artist, master printmaker and arts educator with 40 years of experience, Pat Clark discovered Central Oregon and the unusual landscape over 25 year ago and chronicled her visits from the immensity of the Steen Mountains to the openness of the High Desert in her sketchbooks. Clark’s artwork, informed by her sketchbooks and experiences in the High Desert reflect and creatively express the essence of the terrain with secrets hidden in desert, stream, forest or rock strata. Intermixing the appreciation of nature and landscape to create her artwork, Clark’s exhibition, Ledges and Edges transforms the powerful and often chaotic forces of nature into an ordered, functional design – it is a graphic interpretation of the extreme contrast in the High Desert region. Clark has served as a vital member of the Central Oregon arts community since 2005 serving and promoting the arts. Founder of Atelier 6000 (A6), a nonprofit printmaking and book arts studio, Clark is committed to the advancement of printmaking and book arts as dynamic contemporary art forms. Since the doors opened in 2007, A6 has become a creative center for art education where diverse artists and learners are inspired through workshops and share in the interpretive experience of A6’s contemporary presentation gallery. Nominated in 2011, Patricia (Pat) Clark received an invitation to exhibit her work at the Governor’s office through December 5.

William will unveil one of his latest creative endeavors which will include a vessel trimmed with a miniature Pueblo village made from semi-precious stones of many colors. When Chinese artist Chen immigrated to the United States in 1984, he brought years of artistic skills from his men-

torships with master artists. His solid foundation in many art forms has allowed him to perfect his own particular methods. His art is a marriage of the finest qualities of eastern and western artistic approaches. Pickerd is a sculptor who uses a lathe to transform chunks of alabaster and wood into vessel shapes. The translucent stone responds well to tools and yields a form that can be both earthy and elegant. The material offers an infinite range of colors and patterns. William orders hundreds of pounds of alabaster from Volterra, Italy, and from digs in Colorado and Southern Utah. The vessels are turned very thin to expose the wonderful translucency of the natural material. The bowls are rimmed in exotic woods such as African Blackwood, Bloodwood and Purple Heart.

Unique Opportunities with Cascade Fine Art Workshops by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

of her students are from out of the area, but she also likes to provide unique opportunities for local artists to study by not duplicating classes that other workshop providers offer. October’s class will feature local artist/instructor Judy Hoiness in Create and Embellish with Water Soluble Mixed Media. “Judy hasn’t been teaching for quite a few years here…I’ve had trouble filling workshops with local artists [in the past], but she is doing different work than she used to do. I think I may have one spot left, it filled rapidly, and the people that are filling it are well known artists in the area.” Finding the right space for the small workshops has been an ongoing issue, and while Manley would love to have a permanent space, until that is financially possible, she has had great success in holding her workshops at Atelier 6000 (A6). When the studio space in A6 is occupied, she began holding classes at Cascade School of Music (CSM). “A6 is a wonderful place to hold the workshops, but when they started getting busier, it got harder. Pat Clark has been very helpful in mentoring me along in this business as well…Cascade School of Music allows me to rent a large, fairly empty room right on the river. People can walk downtown and students really enjoy that space where they can work and then go sit outside by the river,” she explained. “I would love to have a permanent space…I have been working with Pat over the years, and our dream is to get an art center here in Bend [where I could hold the workshops].” Manley plans to start offering more workshops, and a new job as CSM’s program assistant will free up more time to devote to the series. “I [will continue] to focus on the needs of the students and make sure that they are happy and these workshops will give them tools to advance their careers.” info@cascadef ineartworkshops. com, 541-408-5524, www.cascadefineartworkshops.com.

ocusing on the needs of her students, Cascade Fine Art Workshops Founder and Owner Sue Manley has hit upon a successful formula for offering artists a unique workshop opportunity. An artist herself, Manley approaches the series with the goal of inviting instructors who are not only wonderful artists, but also excellent teachers. As with many entrepreneurial endeavors, Cascade Fine Art Workshops formed out of recognizing an untapped opportunity. Seven years ago Manley and a few friends invited watercolorist Stella Canfield Instructor Ted Nuttall works with a student on her watercolor portrait from Whidbey Island, Washington to visit Bend and share her watercolor expertise. At the success of the first workshop she started thinking bigger than a few friends in a small studio, and decided to take up the duties of beginning a workshop series. “I really enjoyed running the workshop and wanted to make it more serious, to make it a business instead of a hobby,” she explained. “I had been laid of my job and I needed to find another source of income. “I wanted to approach the workshops through the eyes of the students; most are pretty serious painters and they invest a lot of money and emotion into the workshops,” Manley said. “I wanted to make sure I got instructors they thought would be wonderful artists and wonderful teachers, they don’t always go hand in hand.” To find the right instructors for her workshops, Manley began by sending out an email to all the artists in the area she was in contact with asking for suggestions of instrucManley & Kim McClain, both artists at tors/artists they would like to study under. “I asked them Sue Red Chair Gallery who would be more of a mentor type of instructor, and once I had a list of names, I approached them and asked for their participation. “All the instructors over the years have been wonderful. I haven’t had a bad experience; they love to come to Bend,” she continued. Manley strives to keep variety in the types of workshops she offers and instructors she invites, as well as keeps the class size to 15 to maximize the student/instructor time. About half

Wildfire Pottery Showcase 9th Annual Show & Sale

Arts

ovember 2-3 the Wildfire Pottery Showcases will feature more than 25 premier ceramic artists with clay demonstrations throughout each day. The show includes a children’s area with clay activities and raffle winners will get $25 towards a pottery purchase, held every other hour on both Saturday and Sunday. The Gallery Showcase features artwork from each artist. Winners in the 2012 Best in Show were Linda Heisserman for the functional category and Michael Gwinup in the sculptural category. Wildfire Pottery Showcase donates to the Arts in Central Oregon through Arts Central. Wildfire is sponsored by The Clay Guild of the Cascades, which is a nonprofit organization, supporting local artists and education.

Linda Heisserman Spotlight

Bowl by Linda Heisserman

Michael Gwinup’s journey with clay started while attending Western Oregon University in 1974. Michael was an art major focusing mainly on painting and drawing, until one day when he was invited to visit a professional potter. Seeing the kiln at full temperature, with flames and black smoke pouring out the portholes, he was hooked and began taking pottery classes. Upon graduation in 1976, He and his wife, Michele, moved to Bend and opened their pottery business, Blue Spruce Pottery. Michael is well known for his Raku fired vases, lamps and wall plates. The pottery is hand-formed using a potter’s wheel or slab roller. It is glazed and decorated by hand and then fired in the Raku process. Each piece is fired to a temperature of 1800 degrees. It is then pulled out of the kiln and placed in a bed of sawdust, and after a few minutes, cooled rapidly with water. The sawdust brings out beautiful metallic lusters in the glaze, while the rapid colling creates the crackle patterns typical of Raku. Throughout the years Michael has given workshops and taught the process of Raku. His work has been been displayed in invitational shows, northwest art galleries and is in many private collections. www.bluesprucepottery.com

Linda works in porcelain clay because she says it reminds her of a canvas. The piece starts to come alive for her when she starts carving; sometimes straight and precise lines, sometimes curving and soft lines. Sometimes she creates openings/holes, so she can look through and around the pieces. Linda uses a light green celadon or blue celadon glaze for her carved pieces because the glaze pools in the deeper grooves and pulls off from the higher parts which quietly accentuates the carvings. She strives for her pieces to be both functional and special enough to bring a smile to a person’s face and eyes. linheiss@msn, 541-419-1500.

Bullwinkel at Sunriver Resort Betty Gray Gallery

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents a fine art exhibit in the upper gallery with original oil landscapes by Ann Bullwinkel. The lower gallery presents Bullwinkel’s fine art prints of her original paintings. The exhibition continues through November 17. In the upper gallery are Ann Bullwinkel’s colorful, expressionistic oils depicting the many moods of Central Oregon’s water - wild water in stream beds, calm water colorful in sunsets, and, flat, gray water by docks. To Bullwinkel, water strongly influences our lives. Our bodies are approximately 75 percent water with life bound to it. Metaphorically, its repetitious cycle resembles life’s journey of change yet continuity. Such thoughts sparked her tribute to water. After 20 successful years in the San Francisco Bay area creating, marketing and handling her heavy, 30+ pound expressionistic ceramics, the artist returned to an interest in painting. Her paintings became more successful than the ceramics with work chosen by major collections: Adobe Systems, McGraw Hill, Kaiser, and PGE. Over 35 publications Shoreline, Green Grasses by Ann Bullwinkel featured her art. Twenty years later, Bull-

Sunriver Library Presents Jewels of Nature

he Friends of the Sunriver Area Public Library announce the opening of a new exhibit featuring the work of photographer Michael Jensen and jewelry artist Teresa Bowerman. The exhibit will open on October 29 and continue through January, 2014. Join the Friends at a reception for the artists November 2, 1:30-4pm. Photography has been Jensen’s passion for over 40 years. He is one of the best known photographers in the Central Oregon area. His work is at the expert and award-winning level. He loves to photograph everything from landscapes and architectural images to weddings, portraits, family reunions and senior class pictures. He teaches photography and Photoshop through Central Oregon Community College and the La Pine Parks and Recreation District, and also volunteers at LaPine High School and teaches a variety of photography workshops. Jensen describes Central Oregon as a “photographer’s wonderland, and it is invigorating to be able to do what you love doing, and get a fair wage for it. Not only am I extremely blessed to

winkel moved to Bend in 2002. Here she traveled Central Oregon photographing the Deschutes, Benham Falls, area creeks and other waterways. From these photographs came expressionistic paintings with loose, integrated brushwork, and a palette shifting to that of the high desert. Many of these richly colored oils now appear in the collections of Home Federal Bank, Cushman Realty, Pronghorn Golf Resort, and many private businesses and residences, some as commissions The current exhibition presents a more limited palette and imagery, more about mood with simplified design, seen in her favorite images Shoreline, Green Grasses and The Dock. She notes, “Rather than telling the whole story, I strive to capture the essence of these images.” The lower gallery presents her fine art prints of other water images, many in private collections. The artworks all flow back to her longesteemed emphasis on color, form and design. Sunriver Resort invites the public to visit the gallery open all hours. Billye Turner organizes the exhibitions for SunDeschutes at Benham Falls river Resort. Additional information at 541-382-9398.

Paintbrush Sunset by Michael Jensen

live in a beautiful area of the world to photograph, but I am surrounded by a group of peers, friends, mentors and students who continually challenge me to learn more and to become a better photographer.” Bowerman came to America at the age of 20, on a scholarship to study linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin. She stayed on there to do graduate work in international communications. In order to help pay for a younger brother’s education, she moved to San Francisco to work as a lab tech at the University of California Medical Center and teach English as a Second Language courses in the evenings. She

moved to the Bend/Sunriver area after marrying Jay Bowerman and has been a resident and frequent community volunteer for the past 40 years. Bowerman thinks of herself as a professional volunteer. She and Jay founded the Second Tern thrift shop in Sunriver 25 years ago. As a result, recycling is now in her blood – don’t be surprised to see some “refurbished and refreshed” components in her jewelry collection, where she may combine existing pieces with new materials and ideas. In addition to her jewelry work, Teresa has taught Chinese and Japanese cooking classes and demonstrations for over 15 years. Although she is an accomplished jeweler and has shown her work at several galleries in Bend and Sunriver, Teresa describes her beading and jewelry-making as “a fun hobby.” She loves working with pearls and semi-precious stones in most of her pieces, and her style tends to be simple and understated. Teresa is donating all of the proceeds from sales of her work exhibited at the Library to the Friends of the Sunriver Area Library. 541-312-1080.

Artists’ Gallery Sunriver Village

ven though the beauty of summer is in the rearview mirror, there are still interesting and beautiful pieces of art to be admired at the Artists ‘Gallery in Sunriver. Selected artists are honoring breast cancer survivors by donating 10 percent of sales to local support organizations for that cause. The Second Saturday Artists Reception is October 12. Fine art oil painter, Marietta Bajer is a new artTropical by Marietta Bajer ist at the gallery. As a child, the Polish born artist spent countless hours with her art historian grandfather learning about European art. Young Marietta sketched and colored her own renditions of the classic paintings that she studied in her grandfather’s books. Bajer brought her love of art to the United States when her father defected from Poland to accept a professorship at the University of Oregon. It is amazing that Marietta is completely self taught, and it is easy to see the old world European painting influence in her work. Several of her pieces are atmospheric landscapes, others are exotically colored flowers. Her images of animals are so lifelike that it is as if the viewer is drawn into the painting. Long time gallery artist, Jeff Thompson, continues to amaze collectors with his unbelievable glass pieces. New pieces at the gallery reflect an artistic point of view inspired by biology and geology. Thompson created a series of glass panels entitled Stratascape. The artist uses the repetition of simple shapes, which vary in a subtle and random way, to evoke patterns found Stratesphere by Jeff Thompson in the natural world. The designs suggest layers of sedimentary earth; the smooth, rounded surface of a bed of river rocks or the cellular structure of living organisms. The sculptures are created with traditionally pulled murrini and cane that is then formed and squeezed in a custom hot-glass sculpting method developed by the artist. His color palette is soft but lively and the surface of the glass is sand carved to create a appealing satin-matte finish.

Fine art image creator, Vern Bartley, has been photographing presidents, judges, bugs, funerals, weddings, kids and families, rocks and weeds and everyday regular kinds of people and things for five decades. As a photojournalist, kidnapper (you know......shooting screaming kids for the old family record plan), owner of a couple of portrait and commercial studios, manager of a camera store, magazine photo editor, founder of two or three camera clubs and owner of an aerial photography business, Vern has definitely earned his artistic chops, but nothing could predict the beautiful and fantastical images that the artist produces today. About 10 years ago, Vern felt the tug to take all those experiences and apply them to images that he wanted to create, not what the customer wanted him to record. That journey led the artist to realize that more and more of his fine art images were often a compilation of multiple images or parts of multiple images that, when brought together in a creative way often ended up as stunning, desirable, collectable and sellable fine art images. And, for the first time in a long time the old “creative juices” were Fluid Motion by Vern Bartley alive again. Gene Thomas, stained glass artist, provides the gallery with a window full of colorful, jewel toned creations that delight gallery visitors. Some pieces are geometric with multiple textures and complementary colors. Other pieces depict scenes from nature. One such piece captures the delicacy of hummingbirds in mid flight. Thomas’ pieces are a favorite of Sunriver visitors that want to take a piece of their Sunriver experience home with them. They also make beautiful gifts for deserving friends.

Going forward, each painting will be unique in size, shape and composition to reflect the individual nature of each National Park. “I want to paint something that people recognize as that specific park without duplication of those same familiar landmarks and look for more intriguing perspectives, like the moment you get out of the car and experience your first breathtaking glimpses of the park.” This incredible giveaway of a limited-edition, signed and numbered lithograph started back in 2002 and has art fans and friends driving from all points in Central Oregon, some clad in pajamas, others in scarves or raincoats, for the chance to get of one of Rickard’s stunning prints. For many, it’s an annual tradition to be fortunate enough to be awarded one of the artworks and a fun occasion to meet the artist and celebrate creativity and nature with one of Central Oregon’s most talented artists. “Although we’ve moved locations it’s so nice to have the support,” he said. “It’s very humbling to see the people come out and wait in line. There’s some people we only see during the print giveaway, so it’s been a really fun tradition. Yosemite commands great respect and attention and it’s very exciting to be moving in this new direction.” Clearwater Gallery and Framing, 303 West Hood Avenue, Sisters.

R. Bowman Memorial Museum in Prineville is open Tuesday thru Friday, 10am-5pm, Saturdays 11am-4pm.

The Snowflake Boutique features many hand-made holiday treasures

ow can you help our local children in need and get a head start on your holiday shopping? Attend the Snowflake Boutique! What began as a few friends selling their crafts from their home 37 years ago (1975) has evolved into a major Central Oregon event looked forward to by thousands of people. This year, for its 38th anniversary, the Snowflake Boutique is looking to be as big as ever. The event, which annually kicks off the holiday season, is set for November 1-2 at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds & Expo Center in Redmond in the North Sister building. Door prize opportunities abound for a chance to win hand-made treasures donated by Snowflake members and local crafters as well as gift certificates generously donated by local restaurants and businesses. The Snowflake Boutique is unique in many ways. It is a club, not a business. Club members donate their time to organize, set up and run this arts and crafts show. Consigners are “juried” to assure that their handcrafted items are of the highest quality and are not duplicates of another consigner’s craft. They usually have around 80 consigners that take part in the show, each one with their own unique style that almost guarantees the perfect gift for you or someone special. The Snowflake Boutique differs from a bazaar in that items are intermingled for maximum ambience rather than segregated in booths. Common themes include fishing, sports, floral arrangements, tree decorations, autumn, holiday, kitchen, garden, western and everything in between. You can expect to find wood carvings, bird houses, quilts, furniture, clothing and accessories for kids and adults, doll clothes, metal work, ceramics, soaps, candles, jewelry, one-of-a-kind decorations and lots of Santas, snowmen and angels. And there’s no need to pull out your wallet out every time you find something you want – just pay one time as you exit (debit and credit cards accepted). The nonprofit organization that presents the Snowflake Boutique each year donates the post-expense proceeds to the Family Access Network (FAN) in Redmond. FAN is a collaborative network of agencies and school districts that provide services to children and families in need of basic resources, such as food, shelter, education and clothing. Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center, Redmond. North Sisters Building. November 1, 1-8pm. November 2, 9am-4pm. $30 door charge part of which goes to the Family Access Network (FAN) of Central Oregon.

The current exhibit is Ponderosa Pine Capital of the World which anchors the new exhibit space in the expanded museum. It includes The Woods and The Mill, two full size areas that highlight the workers, tools and history of the trade. Native American exhibit brings history of the people and land of Crook County. The 1910 bank building is always filled with historical artifacts for viewing. During October the museum presents the Saunders Celebration Lecture Series: October 3 - Sing & Tell: A program of songs related to history and literature by Jeni Foster music teacher and scholar.

Unexpectedly Artistic Food at

Deschutes Roadhouse

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop

he name Deschutes Roadhouse doesn’t conjure up haute cuisine that’s as lovely to look at as it is to eat. At least not yet. But give this new Sunriver bistro a try and it will. “The chef is just going to send things out,” assistant manager Joe told me when we confirmed that I’d be bringing along three friends for the restaurant review. Little did I know that a four-course dinner awaited us. Our first course—dubbed Impressions instead of Appetizers or Starters— consisted of a seafood trio that was almost too pretty to eat. Thankfully, we got over that initial and short-lived reaction. A deconstructed crab salad served with micro greens was topped with walnut butter that tasted like a nutty and slightly sweet deconstructed crouton. Next to that lovely lumps of crab had been drizzled with lemon aioli. Fresh as fresh can be meets buttery decadence. Clearly this restaurant speaks my language. The second element of the trio featured a diver scallop—golden brown and pan-seared to the perfect tenderness—served with carrot oil and topped with a fine dice of celery and red pepper. Finally, a pan-seared prawn, which was simply and beautifully cooked, proved the perfect vehicle for the accompanying avocado mango relish spiked with just a soupcon of Serrano heat. “Fantastic!” exclaimed one of my tablemates. Since we hadn’t expected a four-course dinner, I hadn’t warned the restaurant about any food issues. We just figured that whoever couldn’t eat a particular dish simply wouldn’t participate. But missing out on an entire course due to a shellfish allergy didn’t seem fair. The chef was wonderfully accommodating, whipping up a salad of micro greens, Double Cut Pork Chop walnuts, red and yellow tomato and goat cheese served atop puff pastry and tossed with a balsamic vinaigrette. We moved on somewhat regretfully to our next course— called Creations. Any nostalMicro Greens: A mix of four greens with green apple, Avocado, red onion, candied walnuts, Goat cheese, tear drop tomato, and champagne vinaigrette

Dining

gia about the first course was quickly wiped away by our dueling entrees. A medallion of filet mignon served on a rosetta of roasted garlic mashed potatoes was topped with a veal reduction gravy and long crispy parsnip chips. The dish had everything a meat lover like myself could want—a super tender, tasty steak, a rich, scrumptious sauce, potatoes that we would have ordered a bucket of to take home if we could haveand crunchy parsnip goodness. Who knew those last two words even went together. Not me. Chef John M. Lipkowitz—who became an executive chef at just 22 before taking his culinary innovations to the Rio and the M Resort in Las Vegas and now Sunriver—also served us duck breast that had initially been seared on the grill and then wrapped in collard green leaves and roasted in the oven. The sushi roll effect was not only stunning, the earthy collard green wrap provided an unexpected and most successful contrast in texture as well as taste. Since one of our table members doesn’t eat meat, the chef sent out one of the evening’s fish specials—roasted fresh, meaty halibut served in a light citrus butter sauce with tiny blanched cherry tomatoes atop turmeric rice with a hint of lemongrass. The plating of the rest of our dishes had reminded us of flowers. This one actually featured an orange marigold. “The colors look like a sunset,” exclaimed my meat-free friend. She was right. Our third course was a Peach Tarte Tatin. My mothDeschutes Roadhouse Bar & Bistro er made the best Tarte Tatin 17363 Spring River Road; Sunriver I’ve ever tasted, and I use 541-593-3333 hers as the standard. Most http://deschutesroadhouse.com/ restaurants don’t measure Chef-Owner: John Lipkowiz up. This one does. The rustic Hours: Open daily 4pm-close pie crust was perfect and the Photos courtesy of Deschutes Roadhouse peaches, which weren’t oversugared, tasted like summer. We ended the meal with glasses of 10-year-old Taylor Fladgate tawny port and slices of smoky aged cheddar and nutty parmesan, melon draped with prosciutto, and figs—the dried ones coated in honey, the fresh ones drizzled with a balsamic reduction. Downright civilized! The Deschutes Roadhouse Bar & Bistro, located a block west of the river where Boondocks used to be (about ¼ mile west of the Sunriver Village Mall), describes itself as a modern American bistro. That doesn’t just reflect the food. The dining may be upscale, but it’s the kind of place you can arrive dressed to the nines or in your shorts and T-shirt straight off the trail. You’ll feel comfortable either way, whether inside the attractive establishment or outside on the vast new deck. A single caveat: Like most restaurants, this one has a generous hand when it comes to salt. So if you’re not a salt fan like me, you’ll want to mention that when you order. www.facebook.com/CascadeAE | October 2013

John Fullbright From the Ground Up

Fall Among Thieves by Baskery

his past year has been a groundbreaking period for John Fullbright, and the Grammy nomination for From The Ground Up was just one of many highlights. Since its release in May 2012, Fullbright’s first studio album has garnered high praise from peers and pundits alike, making the young Oklahoman one of the most talked about young singer/ songwriter in music today. In December, he received the prestigious ASCAP Harold Adamson Lyric Writing Award, calling Fullbright “one of the best writers in a long, long time.” Earlier in the year, he was invited to sing for the Chuck Berry Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Tribute. While the rest of the cast strapped on Fender guitars, he played Downbound Train on piano as Chuck sat 20 feet away. Singer, songwriter, incredible musician, Fullbright delivers a fabulous performance with his great voice, captivating lyrics with a wide range of emotions accompanied by a combination of harmonica, piano and guitar. I first saw him at the Sisters Folk Festival and now I play this album, From the Ground Up, regularly…especially the first track, Gawd Above. For a young soulful artist with a first studio release, this is an amazing album. ‘I made the heaven and earth I made the stars above Is it too much to ask for a little love’ -Gawd Above The portrayal of big business in America (Fat Man) and synopsis of Christianity (Gawd Above) are just some of the songs that make this album, with a wide range of genre from blues and folk to gospel and country, so great and appealing. Fullbright explains on NPR his Oklahoma background and thus the lyics on his album. “[My family] had a little farm, about 80 acres -- that’s where I live now. The little farmhouse that I was raised in until I was about nine, that’s where the title for the CD came from. Every song on this record was written in that house, and I was kind of written in that house.” According to a post on his website, Fullbright traverses an emotional and musical terrain that is extremely broad, showing equal acuity with tender ballads and songs that make you want to drive faster with the windows rolled down according to post. Firmly rooted in a variety of musical styles, he draws on what has come before, but without imitation. Forget labels when you listen to John Fullbright. He is not folk, not Americana and not pop, but possibly the best fusion of them all. By Pamela Hulse Andrews

askery is a high energy, vivacious all girl Swedish blues/ southern rock band, comprising the three sisters Greta, Stella and Sunniva Bondesson. Their first album, Fall Among Thieves, was released in Europe in 2008, and in the UK in January 2009. The band formed in 2006 as an offshoot of The Slaptones, who featured their father Janåke Bondesson on drums, released two albums (Simplify, 2003 and Amplify, 2004) and toured the U.S. with The Brian Setzer Orchestra. Fall Among Thieves was recorded with producer Lasse Mårtén using no overdubs and mainly first or second takes, with the aim of capturing as much energy as possible. The group have described their musical style in such terms as killbilly and mudcountry, and they have been compared with The Dixie Chicks, The Roches and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I saw them in their full on energy blasting performance at the Sisters Folk Festival. Their performance surprising and attention grabbing, boot stomping rock and blues. They pushed their innovative performance into a new and refreshing mode. Some of their numbers are in the delta blues vein but most falls into what we now call Americana. The vocally endowed, singer/songwriting sisters, all in their thirties, are all incredibly talented musicians playing rock music on traditional bluegrass instruments from Greta on the amplified slide banjo, tambourine, drums and harmonica, Stella on the double string bass and Sunniva playing a mean acoustic guitar. By Pamela Hulse Andrews

Elvis Costello & The Roots - Wise Up Ghost

ong-rumored and shrouded in mystery, this collaborative album between Elvis Costello and The Roots may be one of the most unexpected and surprising releases of 2013. Definitely a situation where the whole is greater than the sum of the amazing parts, and this album lives up to all of the intrigue and expectations. For one l on g - t i m e fan, Costello’s aim has been more haphazard than true since he ditched The Attractions, “He seems as inconsistent, overwrought, selfconscious as he’s been intermittently brilliant. Sometimes, all you need is a right hook and a punch line you can feel. As for his collaborations, from Bacharach to Otter to Toussaint---they’ve all been eye rollers in my book.” However, Ghost just may be Costello’s most straightforward, grounded production albeit moody and dark. Critic Philip R. Heath comments on the funk and soul-filled offering, “I am far from an expert on Elvis Costello’s album catalog, but I have enjoyed the variety in style from what I have sampled. He tackles jazz (North), eclectic rock (Momofuku), and roots/folk (Secret, Profane and Sugarcane) with aplomb. “That is exactly what I found when I started listening to Wise Up Ghost. The opening track Walk Us Uptown begins over 55 minutes of Costello’s biting social commentary backed by grooves from The Roots. I found Come The Meantimes to be one of the best displays of the unusual chemistry that this artist pairing produced. “The opening bass line on Refuse to Be Saved is funky with filthy distortion. Longtime Costello fans should check out Sugar Won’t Work for some of his vocal harmonies and hooks on the chorus.” If you are an adventurous Elvis Costello fan (is there any other kind?), you must give this a try. Wise Up Ghost works as party music or concentrated solo listening equally well. By Cascade A&E staff

Music on the Majestic Metolius

ichael Allen Harrison, who will perform at the House on the Metolius, delivers music to the heart. His classical contemporary style carves a distinct niche of timeless music that has connected with so many during his two and a half decade career. Harrison is known for his piano solo performances and recordings, his upbeat Michael Allen Harrison sound with his band, his work with inspiring vocalist Julianne Johnson, his skills producing and creating music for ballet, theater and film, his love for teaching and perhaps mostly known for his giving spirit. He was honored with a star on the walk of fame in front of the Portland Performing Arts Center for his artistic and community contributions to his beloved city of Portland. Harrison is the founder and president of The Snowman Foundation which has raised over $2 million for music education supporting school programs, many community centers and has given hundreds of instruments and scholarships to kids who cannot afford them. He created Ten Grands as the main platform and fundraiser where he and nine other pianists perform together on 10 pianos to benefit the mission of The Snowman Foundation. Harrison has several upcoming performances at the House on Metolius in Camp Sherman. Solo performance on October 26 and two Christmas shows with Julianne Johnson on December 11-12. Tickets at 541-595-6620.

The Bell Rings Again at The Belfry in Sisters

HDCM Sixth Season Opens with the Thies Consort

igh Desert Chamber Music (HDCM) opens their sixth season on Thursday, October 3, 7:30pm at the Tower Theatre, featuring the return of award winning pianist Robert Thies and the Thies Consort. Under his guidance and direction, the Thies Consort performs a wide range of works of varying instrumentation and size, thus allowing for innovative and uique programming with musical continuity based on a style, composer or other concept. This special program will feature the great chamber sonatas of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. “Each of these pieces is regarded to be a masterpiece in that instrument’s repertory. While I don’t usually program a concert of a single coposer, this music is so rich in its contrasts: powerful and elegant, sublimely beautiful and profound, and audiences have been very moved by all of the emotions that this music evokes. I look forward

to sharing this incredible music of this Russian giant,” states Robert Thies. The all-Prokofiev program includes the Sonata for Flute, Sonata for Violin, Sonata for Cello, and they will be joined by Executive Director Isabelle Senger for the incredible Sonata for Two Violins. HDCM has presented a broad range of chamber groups, ranging from string trios to piano quintets. In addition to the Series is an Annual Benefit Gala which includes a performance, dinner and silent auction on Friday, December 6, 6pm at the Broken Top Club.

New Perspective For October by Eileen Lock

here will be many important conversations this month starting right out on the 1st. Decisions made during this time will bring completion and healing. The New Moon on the 4th is all about relationships, both personal and professional. Be optimistic as you make agreements on the 6th. Decisions made on the 8th will be revisited at the end of the month. Have faith in your journey as you let go of the past. Make a list of what you want to accomplish in the near future. Be patient near the 10th and be sure to use moderation. Focus on taking care of yourself and doing what’s good for your body. Take more time to yourself than you usually do on the 13th and make your health a priority. Begin taking significant steps forward after the 15th and let your intuition be your guide. Remind yourself that you are happier when you feel good. Be nice to yourself as you go into the Full Moon on the 18th. Welcome new beginnings even if it feels odd. A shift of directions on the 21st and 22nd brings emotions to the surface. Have faith and know that you are doing something very Divine. Notice how much you have changed on the 28th and be sure that recent decisions still work for you. Be honest with yourself about your new agreements and have faith in your ability to move forward with success. Appreciate what happens on the 31st and let it reinforce your confidence about your choices. Trust that you are moving in the right direction.
