Memory is more than a dustbin of time, stuffed with yesterday’s trash. Rather, memory is a glorious grab bag of the past from which one can at leisure pluck bittersweet experiences of times gone by and relive them. ~Hal Boyle, 1911-1974 Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist for the Associated Press.

Favorite Memories

T

he photo above represents several decades of memories. On the left is my youngest granddaughter, Gabriella Grace (Gigi) and in the front is me with my youngest son, Jesse, who is Gigi’s father. Jesse and I are at the beach in Long Beach, California with one of the best dogs ever, Ford, our beloved, faithful Springer Spaniel.

In the back of the black and white photo is another piece of history: a photograph of one of my grandsons, Josh, with seven of his friends all about 21 years young. The group came to visit me last summer to take a tour of Bend’s ale trail. They all signed the photo and sent it to me as a Christmas present (largely responding to the disruption and mess they made of my home for a long weekend). I loved every minute of it!

My home is filled with photographs

of friends and family ~ memories that remind me of the special bond I have shared over the years with so many fantastic people. I also have albums and small books filled with photographs. Because most, if not all, of our photographs are now digital, I recently purchased an instamatic camera so I could immediately have that memory slide out of the camera and place them in various places of honor to reminiscence later.

Following that practice, the amateur photographers and their instructors gracing the cover of this issue are making memories with their cameras. Abilitree’s annual photography event, called Lens Project, features these budding photographers capturing life in Bend at the Old Mill District— beloved landmarks, iconic scenery and elements of nature.

Abilitree empowers individuals with disabilities to develop their

independence and inclusion in community life. Through their camera they are filled with the joy of exploring new places, meeting new people and living a full life of creativity and fresh experiences.

Abilitree partnered with local photographer, Steve Tague, to teach the photography classes and lead the workshop. Congratulations to Steve for bringing the passion of photography into view for his students. The lovely results are inspiring to even the best photographer: Ansel Adams reminds us, “There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs.” Photographs are

amazing, allowing us to preserve history—evoking the people and places we hope to never forget. In today’s world of smart cell phones, everyone can take an incredible photograph. Most of us now have a digital library filled with memories.

The famed American writer, filmmaker, teacher and political activist Susan Sontage tenderly offered, “All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.”

DINING NEW AGE DINING: POP-UPS

MUSIC BILLIE HOLIDAY THE CENTENNIAL COLLECTION

Kusshi at White Water Taphouse in downtown Bend

Looking for a unique dining experience with a more intimate atmosphere and a one-of-a-kind menu? Across the country pop-up dinners are allowing guests to partake in a dining event that cannot be found in your everyday restaurant.

The pop-ups are experiential dinners that bring together the intimacy of a private dinner with the direct interaction from a local chef. The events can be held at local restaurants, private venues or even in people’s homes. Chefs bring in their own menu, supplies and staff to create an evening catered directly to the small group of attendees.

For chefs, the dinners allow them to build their name or test out new innovations and recipes. New chefs

who have yet to establish their own location can experiment with menu ideas without having to find a brick and mortar location. And for the guests, the value of the experience is unmatched by any normal restaurant environment.

Because they are a specialized event and usually very limited, pop-ups are generally heard of through word of mouth and social media. Pop-ups such as Nomad PDX and DaNet in Portland are growing, as the progressive and businessowning chefs are hosting the events as exclusive dining experiences in addition to their own restaurants.

Locally, chef Ian Skomski of Kusshi NW periodically hosts incredible sushi dining at White Water Taphouse in downtown Bend. ~Kalea Aguon

While borrowing a friend’s car this week I discovered a CD tucked between the seat and center console.

When I put it in the player, in combination with the wind from downed windows, the most divine melodies carried me away. In particular, I fell in love with Summertime. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

MEDIA NAPPY ROOTS, WINDOW FT. MADISON LAUGHRIDGE If you look this sweet new jam up on YouTube, you’ll see Skinny DeVille wearing a local Bend brand from one of Central Oregon’s premier, emerging industries, wicked. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

MUSIC STURGILL SIMPSON A SAILORS GUIDE TO EARTH

PODCAST THE HEART

This new album is country that is not really country. Perhaps Rockabilly. A little Motown and sonic experimentation and creativity. Sturgill is on his own program here with strings in the background, steel guitars, horns, sax. He’s not trying to conform to anything nor afraid to mix it up ... the more you listen, the more you’ll love. ~ Pamela Hulse Andrews

While listening to my weekly installment of This American Life, I came upon a mention of the new podcast, The Heart. Listening to Mariya bravely detail how her life has been affected by a cultural custom performed on her when she was seven in Season 2, Episode 12, was both enlightening and moving. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

Sturgill Simpson, A Sailors Guide to Earth

MUSIC RADIOHEAD A MOON SHAPED POOL

Melancholy is often an avoided feeling. We prefer not to fall into emotions that are heavier and darker on a regular basis. But true art brings out all emotions and encourages all sides of the human experience, not just the ones we like to feel the most. Radiohead’s newest album A Moon Shaped Pool is a beautiful tribute to the emotions we hide away, waiting to be released.

The album goes much deeper than traditional heartbreak and focuses instead on thoughts of a dying world.

Listeners are released from the angst of many of Radiohead’s previous albums to be fully submerged in a sense of inner calm that is often paired with these turbulent emotions.

The album features a beautiful mix of classic guitar, moving piano melodies and whispers of electronic synths leaving you with a haunting album that begs to be listened to again and again. ~ Tori Youngbauer

DINING NEW CART CLUSTER There is a new food cart cluster on the northside of The Old Mill in Bend. Cajun Asian, Curb BQ, The Curry Shack and across the parking lot, The Brown Owl. Loved the pork curry from The Curry Shack. ~ Krystal Marie Collins

Folklife Program in Sisters

Folklorists Douglas Manger and Joseph O’Connell recently finished documenting cultural traditions in Deschutes County through interviews and photographs.

The National Endowment for the Arts awarded funds to the Oregon Folklife Network (OFN) as Oregon’s designated Folk & Traditional Arts Program, to work in the eastern Oregon counties of Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Union, Wallowa and Wheeler. Free public programs will be held at area libraries in each county.

Manger has been working as a folklorist for 20 years. Early in his career, he served as director of the Northern Tier Cultural Alliance in Pennsylvania, where he documented folk artists and curated exhibits and other programs.

Manger later managed the folk and traditional arts program at the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation in Baltimore, overseeing initiatives across nine states and jurisdictions.

My Own Two Hands Presents Awards

ENCORE Local Artist & Father Honored

Artist Bill Hamilton’s painting has recently been selected by the U.S. Forest Service for the Wychus Creek trailhead sign in Sisters.

Out of the five choices Hamilton submitted, the committee chose a work depicting the beautiful Sisters mountain range. The trailhead sign explains the background of Whychus Creek, originally a river, which in the past had lost its water to irrigation and its fish blocked by hydroelectric dams downstream. The lost river is slowly coming back to life and being restored with the new creation of the Pelton-Round Butte Dam fish passage, increasing irrigation efficiency and purchasing or leasing water rights. The sign encourages all to keep it wild! Leave no trace. Hamilton donated the image in memory of his father, Frank L. Hamilton who worked for the Oregon State Forestry all of his life.

Waterson Desert Writing Prize

Join the board of directors of the Waterston Desert Writing Prize, High Desert Museum Executive Director Dana Whitelaw and Playa at Summer Lake Executive Director Deborah Ford for the 2016 Waterston Desert Writing Prize award ceremony. Enjoy readings by this year’s winning author Tara Fitzgerald and finalist Kenneth Garcia on Tuesday, June 28 at the High Desert Museum, 6:30-8pm. Fitzgerald will read an excerpt of her proposed book project, No Water of Their Own. Focused on the desertification of the Aral Sea in Central Asia, Fitzgerald’s work poses the question of, “What happens when a sea becomes a desert and when a sea people therefore become a desert people?” Once considered one of the four largest lakes in the world, the Aral Sea has been steadily shrinking since the 1960’s. Come hear why, and how local communities have been impacted by these changes. Free and open to the public.

Living Without Walls

J

ulie O’Neill, a Central Oregon resident, says started this book to answer the question we received so many times, “How do you get your young kids out here for these long trips?”

Our daughter is 12 and has clocked over 1,000 miles of high Sierra backpacking over the last five summers. It’s a valid question.

With humor and insight, O’Neill chronicles her family’s journey on the John Muir trail as she battles her inner fears, reliving a backpacking adventure that almost took her life 16 years earlier. Along the way, she sets a powerful case for children and adults to unplug in nature, in order to reconnect in everyday life, and in Julie’s case, find healing.

Living Without Walls convincingly shows that the more high-tech we get, the more we need to take the time to introduce our children—and reintroduce ourselves—to nature and to our very own humanity. Part memoir, part manifesto, Living Without Walls is a testament to the power of nature to tend to the whole person as portrayed in this blazingly honest, entertaining and savvy account.

From Julie’s near-death experience in 1996 that nearly stopped her from setting foot in the wilderness again to the heartwarming moments that come from uninterrupted time as a family on the trail, Living Without Walls will captivate and inspire, as you join the O’Neills in their summer cruising at two and a half miles per hour. www.julieaoneill.wordpress.com

Floyd McKay on Oregon Activists & Visionaries

O

regon has long been recognized throughout the nation as a progressive, maverick state, although a generation of citizens growing up in Oregon may not understand the origins of that reputation.

A new book by former journalist Floyd J. McKay, published by the Oregon State University Press, helps illuminate why.

Reporting the Oregon Story: How Activists and Visionaries Transformed a State recalls a rollicking political atmosphere from 1964 to 1986, when Oregon crafted and passed its landmark beach bill to ensure the protection of ocean beaches for public use. The state also introduced the nation’s first bottle bill after a heated battle, resulting in a deposit on certain beverage containers to encourage recycling.

The veteran journalist chronicled numerous political battles and emerging issues, including the successful efforts of activists to halt a highway that would be built on sand in Pacific City, and the panic-inducing frenzy of Vortex, the nation’s only state-sponsored rock festival. The outof-town festival was designed to draw anti-war and anti-President Nixon protesters from disrupting the national American Legion Convention being held in Portland.

In his book, McKay recounts the issues, the players and the results of these events in a compelling, personal account.

Sisters Woman Authors Journal for Change

LITERARY WORD

D

uring the heart of the recession, Francesca Russo faced a major challenge and changed her life. Under difficult circumstances, she left her home and business after 30 years on the Oregon Coast, and with her faithful German Shepherd, Yogi, drove to Central Oregon. Circumstances that led to the move were painful, but they also provided an opportunity for personal growth.

Russo was known as Fawn deTurk in Manzanita, where she began a gourmet deli and catering service in 1986, was featured in Oregon Magazine, and appeared on PM Northwest, sharing recipes with Cheryl Hanson. She went on to create Cassandra’s Pizza, which was featured in Northwest Best Places for 13 years, and Cranky’s Coffee Shop.

She sold these businesses in 2000 to focus on cranial sacral healing work and massage. “After a severe car accident, cranial sacral massage helped me recover. I went into massage to do cranial sacral work,” she said.

The Journal of Becoming Change took root in these extremely challenging times. Penniless, and surrounded by generous strangers, Russo found her true self. She was grateful for every day that she had the opportunity to care for and ride horses in a beautiful environment.

She used the quiet time in the Cascades to heal. She relied on her spirituality, her training in the healing arts of massage and yoga therapy and her personal integrity to nurture friendships and create opportunities.

Russo has turned her life’s experiences into a book, Becoming Change: A Journal for Mind, Spirit, and Body. “I have learned that compassion for my humanness has allowed me to forgive and love myself and has helped me love others in a deeper way,” she said. That led to her vision statement, “U first love yourself for life” (ufly4life) because “the most powerful relationship you will ever have is with yourself.”

In Sisters, her book is available at Shibui Spa, Three Sisters Healing Arts, Bedouin and Paulina Springs Books, at Herringbone Books in Redmond and www.ufly4life.com.

New Trail Running Guide

or years, Bend has been called one of the top trail running destinations, but until now there has never been a book solely dedicated to running the trails. Trail Running Bend and Central Oregon, by author and trail runner Lucas Alberg, provides detailed descriptions of the area’s best loop runs, including several new trails added within recent years. From classic high desert runs to the east in the Badlands, to mountain escapes and high alpine scenery to the west in the Cascades, Trail Running Bend and Central Oregon highlights the unique and diverse geography that the region has to offer.

Trail Running Bend and Central Oregon is written from the runner’s perspective, for the runner. The book focuses on the best trails for trail running and brings together a combination of trails in loop form that lend themselves to the sport. With a zest and passion for the trails, Alberg captures the best of what Central Oregon has to offer for runners. www.groundswellpr.com

Event Ready: Summer 2016

BY KALEA AGUON AE Feature Writer

A

s late spring hits, summer invites are multiplying and events are beginning to fill our calendars. If you are looking for quick skin fixes for the upcoming wedding, family photo and reunion season, we have gathered a list of popular treatments that are available locally. Lisbeth Johanessen, RN of DermaSpa and BFQ Pool of Experts member, gives us some insight to the latest trending skin fixes for summer.

VI Peels Everyone wants to look refreshed and rested once summertime hits, which is why VI peels are a fast and effective option. There are five different types available depending on your skin. These peels are designed to improve tone, texture and clarity of the skin. They also treat age spots, hyperpigmentation (including melasma) and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The VI peel is an excellent choice to address acne and reduce or eliminate scarring, while stimulating the production of collagen for healthier, firmer, more youthful skin. And what’s even more appealing? The VI peel is virtually painless with minimal downtime. The skin peels for the first two to six days and results usually appear around day seven. Amazing results in just a week!

Injectables: Neurotoxins and Fillers Injectables are another option for a nice lift with little to no downtime. They can provide visible results in less than a week and are a great option during

10

June 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

the summer when the sun is more intense and lasers may not be an option.

Neurotoxins such as Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are popular choices when it comes to injectables. They are injected into the face muscles to improve the look of frown lines and crow’s feet and also can be used to shape and lift the eyebrow. Neurotoxins work in about three to ten days, depending on which product is used, and last up to four months. Perfect to get you through the entirety of the summer season!

Fillers can add volume where it has been lost in places such as the cheeks and lips. Popular filler treatments provided at Bend’s local DermaSpa include Radiesse, Belotero, Juvederm, Voluma, Silk and Lift. They are used to soften facial creases, enhance shallow contours and remove and/or soften wrinkles.

Fillers can last anywhere from five months to two years depending on the filler used. The results are seen immediately but results look the best within a few days when any potential swelling and/or bruising is gone.

In addition to your skin fixes for this upcoming summer season, always remember to take preventative measures when it comes to skincare. Sunscreen and moisturizer are great ways to maintain any of your treatments and keep your skin looking optimal. www.dermaspa.com

The Vision—BendFilm Flourishes with Indie Women

by PAMELA HULSE ANDREWS, Founder AE

B

endFilm is an inspiring, passionate and economically beneficial event embraced by the community in a pretty big way. An independent film festival that was once a dot on the radar is now one of the top 50 film festivals in the world named by MovieMaker Magazine for the fourth year in a row.

The four-day dream catcher gives our community a firsthand glance at documentaries that are gut wrenching, films that will make you laugh or cry or ponder along with a chance to meet innovative and hopeful filmmakers who are sure to find a spot in history.

BendFilm is growing in both size and national prestige. In 2015, BendFilm hosted over 60 filmmakers including Alexandria Bombach (FRAME by FRAME), Erik Shirai (Birth of Sake), Onur Tukel (Applesauce), Todd Rohal (Uncle Kent 2), Frank V. Ross (Bloomin’

Mud Shuffle), Stephen Cone (Henry Gamble’s Birthday Party), Nicole Bernardi-Reis (Radical Grace), As well as a prestigious jury made up Film Critic Anne Thompson, Filmmaker Leah Meyerhoff (I Believe in Unicorns), Distributor Matt Grady (Factory 25) and Filmmaker Mike Ott (Lake Los Angeles).

MovieMaker Magazine included BendFilm on its list of festivals,“50 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee.” The description reads, “No, gorging on craft beer isn’t a priority for everyone...but it doesn’t hurt. Besides the 23 breweries surrounding this fest’s hub, visitors can rent out a 12seat bar-on-wheels (the CyclePub) if they fancy. Just don’t party so hard you miss the intriguing panels, which in 2015 included a second-edition talk from Film Fatales founder Leah Meyerhoff about overcoming female filmmaker obstacles, and another about effective social media usage.

BendFilm thrives because it is a

INDIE gift for our community and offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to view great works of thought and visual integrity through film.

Five years ago, several local women fathomed the idea to create a special club so to speak, whereby 100 women would each contribute $100 each to raise $10,000 for BendFilm awards specifically for women filmmakers and directors. The group is appropriately called Independent Women for Independent Film.

Money raised is also needed to fund valuable festival activities such as filmmaker visits, lectures and workshops, as well as attendee

FILM & THEATRE

Women gatherings that have helped to make the BendFilm festival successful in past years.

With four years and more than $30,000 under our belt, we are well on our way to raising another $10,000 that will help the festival’s inspiring director, Todd Looby, put on another fabulous festival in 2016.

If you want to join Indie Women, it is most assuredly not exclusive, please contact me at pamela@ cascadebusnews.com or just send a check made out to BendFilm to me at 404 NE Norton Ave., Bend, OR 97701. We give in order to continue the amazing tradition of BendFilm.

An Evening with Candid Camera & TV Host Peter Funt

S

mile, you’re on Candid Camera! Over eight different decades, nearly everyone who watches TV can happily relate to that phrase. Now Peter Funt, the show’s host, brings it to life in laugh-filled stage show blending clips and quips Sunday, June 26 at 7pm at the Tower Theatre.

Peter’s hilarious stage comedy is blended with a behind-the-scenes peek at the show’s funniest moments.

Created by Peter’s father, Allen Funt, Candid Camera is the only entertainment program to have produced new episodes in each of the last eight decades—from Allen’s start on TV in 1948, through Peter’s acclaimed run on TV Land last year. Using Candid Camera’s vast library, Peter showcases decades of fun and reveals what happened when the cameras weren’t rolling.

The show is a benefit for NeighborImpact, helping Central Oregon families in need. “We are pleased to partner with the legendary Candid Camera,” stated Sandy

11

June 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

Visnack, director of communication, “to promote smiles and support for the many community services provided

by NeighborImpact. Peter Funt’s highly entertaining show has helped raise money for food bank organizations in California and we know the show will be a hit in Bend on June 26.”

“This is not just a trip down memory lane,” explains Peter. “It’s a funny, fast-paced commentary on our whacky world as seen through the Candid Camera.”

Several audience members will get a chance to join Peter on stage to answer Candid trivia questions and win prizes.

In addition to hosting over 200 episodes of Candid Camera, Peter writes a syndicated newspaper column and has appeared on many top talk shows. He is currently at work on a new version of Candid Camera for late 2016.

24/SEVEN THEATRE PROJECT AT 2ND STREET

4/SEVEN Theatre Project is a creative process on steroids with two performances of the finished product 24 hours later.

The process includes enlisting seven talented playwrights to create seven brand new short plays within the allotted time the night before they are cast, produced and staged. Playwrights are given specific prompts to incorporate into their original works.

Early the next morning, seven visionary directors read the scripts and cast each play using 17-22 actors. The actors show up a few hours later and rehearse all day, culminating in two performances of all seven short plays that night. The result is an exciting night of live theatre!

The seven playwrights are Suzan Noyes, Clinton Clark, James Lee, Pat Kruis, Katelyn Alexander, Ben Larson and David Forrest.

The seven directors are Susan Benson, Sandy Silver, Jared Rasic, Rick Jenkins, Sandy Klein, Michael Nowak and Liam O’Sruitheain.

Performances are on June 4 at 6:30pm and 9pm. Tickets are $15.

A Chorus Line focuses on an audition for a Broadway musical and is told through poignant, as well as humorous, stories shared by 17 dancers who really want, and need, the job. Ultimately, only eight will be chosen. The stories, based on interviews with real-life aspiring actors, are universal and are at the center of a show that is a powerful metaphor for all human aspiration.

A Chorus Line is an American musical theatre classic, having originally played on Broadway for 15 years and over 6,000 performances, that is a brilliantly complex fusion of dance, song and compellingly authentic drama.

The music, written by Academy Award winner Marvin Hamlisch, includes such songs as I Hope I Get It, At the Ballet, What I Did For Love, Dance: 10; Looks: 3 and One. Shore Thing Productions’ A Chorus Line will be presented by The Tower Theatre Foundation as a part of the theatre’s popular Marquee Series on September 16 and run for eight performances through September 25.

Tower Welcomes Comedic Brilliance of Paula Poundstone

T

he Tower Theatre welcomes comedian Paula Poundstone on Friday, June 3. Thirty-two years ago Poundstone climbed on a Greyhound bus and traveled across the country—stopping in at open mic nights at comedy clubs as she went.

From Boston to San Francisco to Los Angeles, she went on to become one of our Country’s top comic minds—legendary for her razor-sharp wit, her self-deprecating humor and a spontaneity with a crowd that hands-down is without peer.

You can hear her through your laughter as a regular panelist on NPR’s number one show, the Peabody Award-winning weekly news quiz show, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. She voiced the character Forgetter Paula in the Oscar winning movie by Disney Pixar, INSIDE OUT which won

13

Best Animated Feature Film in 2016.

Poundstone says of her ability to be spontaneous with a crowd: “No two shows I do are the same.

It’s not that I don’t repeat material. I do. My shows, when they’re good, and I like to think they often are, are like a cocktail party. When you first get there, you talk about how badly you got lost and how hard it was to find parking. Then you tell a story about your kids or what you just saw on the news. You meet some new people and ask them about themselves. Then, someone says, “Tell that story you used to tell,” and then someone on the other side of the room spills a drink, and you mock them. No one ever applauds me when I leave a party, though. I think they high five.”

THROUGH THE LENS

HEALING WORKS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Peter Welker

T

he Ablitree Lens Project, Abilitree’s annual photography event featuring clients and mentors, will be continuing through June 26 at Franklin Crossing.

Five Abilitree clients tested their photography skills in the Old Mill District.With two photography classes under their belts, the amateur photographers captured landmarks, iconic scenery and elements of nature throughout the city of Bend.

“The Lens Project is more than an art show or fundraiser. The project fills our clients with the joy of exploring new talents and living a full life filled with creativity and new experiences. We’re proud and excited to share their work with the community,” says April O’Meara, marketing and development director for Abilitree.

The photography outing was one of the several ways that Abilitree, a local nonprofit, empowers individuals with disabilities to develop their

16

June 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

independence and inclusion in community life.

Abilitree serves adults with disabilities in the tricounty region of Central Oregon, from physical, intellectual and developmental (including Down syndrome, Autism spectrum, cerebral palsy) to cancer and traumatic brain injury survivors. Abilitree offers employment placement, counseling and support groups, skills training for living independently and information and referral.

Abilitree partnered with local photographer, Steve Tague, to teach the photography classes and lead the workshop. “This project combines my love for photography, teaching and being able to contribute to make a positive impact on our community,” explains Tague.“Before this project, I was familiar with Abilitree but I didn’t realize to what extent Abilitree changes people’s lives. I am thrilled to be a part of this project.”

“I learned so much about photography through

this project,” says Peter Welker, an Abilitree client.

“I learned about lighting, perspective and the mechanics of the camera. I would like to purchase my own camera one day and when I do I will know how to use it. Thank you, Abilitree and Steve Tague for teaching me this knowledge about photography.”

Two days of classes provided participants with the basics of photography, including the use of SLR digital cameras, framing an image, defining a good image and post-production. Clients’ 16x20 canvases and prints will be for sale during First Friday, June 3 as a fundraiser benefiting Abilitree along with raffle prizes including a gift certificate from the Old Mill District.

“I’m excited to do more photography,” says Abilitree Client Michelle Swager. “This project taught me so much. I’m inviting everyone I know to the exhibit on June 3 and I hope they all come.” www.abilitree.org

Olsen has a display of watercolors featuring wild animals and Slater’s vibrant oil paintings of farm animals are the focus of her artwork.

Olsen’s artwork is inspired by nature and aided by imagination. She uses these two ingredients to create dramatic wildlife paintings with watercolors or pastels. Observing animals in the outdoors has always been her passion and enables her to create expressive paintings of wild animals such as bison, quail and herons, all of which are featured in this show.

She says, “I paint what I love—especially animals. They have always given me Karen Bandy Studio

a sense of peace and joy. They are all unique to me so I express their individual personalities and postures so no two subjects ever look alike—even quail!”

Slater spent many childhood hours at her grandparents farm and although still life and florals are inspirational to paint, the farm animals she grew up with have taken center stage. In recent years her menagerie has included domestic pets as well.

“My oil paintings are as much about the process as the subject matter. The yin and the yang of painting excites me...the relationship of color, brushstrokes, the thickness of the paint are of primary interest, but also the contrasts of dark and light, and warm and cool color.” Each animal has a vitality and distinct personality communicated through those vibrant colors and bold brush strokes.

Wolf states, “I am a sculptor creating figurative and animal forms, even combining the two.” Her sculptures in both clay and bronze depict horses, dogs and crows reminiscent of the minimalist, elegant stone works of the Inuit—a Northwest Coast Native American tribe. my artwork has breath, soul and a story to tell.”

Youngquist, essentially a self-taught artist, credits nature as her teacher. She paints familiar scenes with oils using muted colors and blurred contours with splashes of vibrant color.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Pintings and drawings by Patricia (Pat) Clark through June 25. In Marks, a book celebrating her art and life, Clark speaks of her six decades of making marks, “as a way of life, a process of invention and sometimes a meaningful reflection of works… that some call drawing.”

The artist’s formal training began with a bachelors of science from Bemidji State University in Minnesota, followed with a masters of fine arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.

For nearly 40 years, including those as a full professor at the University of Southern California and the University of Wisconsin, River Falls, Clark shared her drawing and printmaking skills with students. Upon retirement from higher education, the artist moved to Bend and founded Atelier 6000, fulfilling her aspiration of creating a workshop for artists’ development, collaboration and inspiration.

The last 15 years have also deepened her interest in the environment—in water storage, usage and the water table, noting, “...this is something happening now that we need to talk about it!” Her concerns reflect in her abstracted prints and drawings, often of subterranean water flows.

Clark continues as a teacher of great influence, guiding aspiring students. She facilitates the continuing circle of artistic excellence. Billye Turner, art consultant, billyeturner@bendnet.com, organizes exhibitions for the Oxford Hotel.

expresses the beauty and majesty of the Pacific Northwest through the use of strong glazes and richly detailed design elements. Her pieces merge smooth glazed surfaces of finished clay with the organic and naturally shaped reflections of bark, perforated rock and oddly twisted wood. High fired functional ceramics and a dabbling in new low-fired techniques and pieces will be on display.

Anne von Heideken began designing and making jewelry about 20 years ago after traveling to the southwest and being charmed by the local Native American jewelry. She specializes in turquoise and prefers to use all natural stones and pearls, which reflect her love of the natural world. She searches out and then carefully incorporates very unusual elements into her unique and one of a kind pieces.

Lise Hoffman-McCabe is a plein air pastel artist who seeks out the beauty of the landscape and tries to convey to the viewer her version of it. Her pastel paintings have won numerous awards and hang throughout the United States and Europe.

My intention is to give the viewers of my art a sense of place and time as I strive to create artworks of visual harmony and beauty.”

Working both en plein air and in the studio, Misek strives to capture the esthetic of the landscape whether it be reflections in the water, the slant of light striking a tree or dappled shadows on the landscape.

Always striving to discover new ways to express herself visually, Misek has recently been exploring new color relationships in connection to the landscape. These new directions

Townshend’s Bend Teahouse 835 NW Bond St. Carissa Glenn, 541-312-2001 Carissa@Townshendstea.com Layers highlights the work of Chris Diego and Karen Cygnarowicz. Stirred by travel and culture Cygnarowicz discovered a connection to nature—her main source of inspiration. Whether it is the coast of Maryland, the mountains of Vermont, Lake Michigan, the honey boxes of Northern Vietnam or the roses of Oregon, every home has offered material for her work. Everything is a product of an experience and frames each creation, conveying stories of movement and ideas of color through seams, lines and layers.

Diego’s artwork begins with a five prong process; investigation, studies, planning, execution and reflection. A versatile medium, drawing is not limited to just one material, it is a multifaceted genre consisting of a myriad of mark making tools and an infinite number of combinations and experimental designs. When layered with photography the work stands alone.

Tumalo Art Company Old Mill District www.tumaloartco.com, 541-385-9144 Danae Bennett-Miller’s June show, Spirit of Life— A celebration of the beauty of our natural world, features the animals that have inspired and healed her. Danae’s sculptures and original monoprints all use organic shapes and rich but subtle colors to capture the essence of the animal. To create her sculptures, Danae starts with poured wax which makes creates textured shapes.

After the lost wax process is complete, she fabricates the bronze or glass pieces into animal forms, conjuring life and motion out of once fluid ripples and flows. Her one-of-a-kind sculptures are part of Bend’s cultural landscape with several sculptures in public spaces. Her original prints dance with life and grace the walls of many homes and corporate spaces.

PETER ROCK EXHIBIT FEATURED AT BEND LIBRARY

T

wenty years ago, Portland author Peter Rock was working as a security guard in an art museum. While patrolling the five floors, Rock would entertain himself by making up a story for each painting, photograph and object on display.

“Guards weren’t allowed to write on the job so when I got to the breakroom in the basement, I’d write down as much as I could remember then work more on the stories at home,” said Rock. The exercise and experience of pairing stories with art led Rock to collaborate with photographers and to create the exhibit Spells, which will be on display thru June 26 and sponsored by the Friends of the Bend Library Art Committee. Rock will visit Bend on May 15 for a multi-media presentation of the exhibit and reading from his latest novel, Klickitat.

The genesis for Spells occurred when Rock found himself in conversation with a photographer. “Some of the difficult artistic questions he asked caused me to reflect on where I was with my work and where I’d been,” said Rock. “I was reminded of some of the pleasures and play that I was in danger of forgetting.”

While telling the photographer about his furtive scribbling on duty at the museum, Rock began to envision a similar project.

“I found photographers whose work I was drawn to and contacted them with a very hypothetical and tentative description of what I was doing,” said Rock.“Somewhat arbitrarily, I decided that five photographers would be a good number, and I was gratified that the first five I contacted were excited

to join me.”

Rock asked each photographer to send 20-30 images.

“I chose five photographs at a time and proceeded incrementally, generating the specific stories as I went,” he said. “The images came first then I excavated the stories.” Audio files of Rock’s stories were recorded and can be accessed via any smart phone while viewing the prints on display.

Rock was born and raised in Salt Lake City. His novels include Klickitat, a Young Adult novel released in April 2016, The Shelter Cycle, My Abandonment, The Bewildered, The Ambidextrist, Carnival Wolves, This Is the Place, and a story collection, The Unsettling. Rock attended Deep Springs College, received a bachelors of arts in English from Yale University, and held a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University. He has taught fiction at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, Deep Springs College and in the masters of fine arts program at San Francisco State University. The recipient a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, an Alex Award and others, he currently lives in Portland, Oregon, where he is a professor in the English Department of Reed College.

Rock received a fellowship in 2014 from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation to continue work on this project. Spells is supported by a Creative Heights Grant from the Oregon Community Foundation. www.deschuteslibrary.org, 541-312-1032

Jill Neal Sets up Shop in Sisters

J

ill Haney-Neal, known for her wild (tasteful!) women has a retail location for the first time since closing her downtown Bend gallery. While selling wholesale nationwide, this is the first time she is incorporating the wholesale business into a gallery shop.

While not abandoning the ladies entirely, Jill is introducing a return to her fine art roots, with a new line of abstracts and design impressionism with western women, birds, horses and wildlife, and crabs, to name a few.

When Jill Neal started her art career, she did mostly pen and ink wildlife and mandalas and abstracts. Her recent work has been a turn with a few twists on her new line.

“My famous ladies came along and took off and while I have had a blast painting them for years and have missed doing other work,” Jill explains. “Now, I have time, and am returning full circle, but have never shown this fine art line in Central Oregon.”

TOMETRY GALLERY OPENS ON WALL STREET

P

ainter, sculptor, jewelry artist and writer Tom Hellwarth says the concept behind his new gallery space is 'life being art' and wishes there was one word to encompass his many creative outlets. Hellwarth's new gallery, Tometry, opened May 14 on Wall Street in downtown Bend (above Local Joe) as a predecessor to Stone Soup, a gallery he maintained in Santa Monica for 13 years.

Hellwarth says no one medium can hold his many tastes. “Jewelry is great but too narrow.

Working on a canvas with paint is much more spacious which conjures a kind of freedom. I find myself wondering, why am I huddled over a bench when I could be stretched out on a canvas.” In this way he enjoys sprinkling his talents amongst many outlets.

Mixing mediums helps Hellwarth fully express his vision. Pointing to Oil on foil, he says, “this collection is made from the recycled paint pallets of Lipstick Rocks, an earlier series.”

Hellwarth explains certain groupings of circular shapes delineate letters and punctuation. “The concept is a visual language. I am writing language into the shapes of the painting. My hope is that the observer will interact and have a relationship with the painting. That a conversation will occur between the piece and the audience.”

Ultimately,combining art forms inspires Hellwarth in his mission to create something different.

Early inspiration on the road to Tometry included a degree in creative writing and purposely not following a set fine arts curriculum. “I liked that in writing the format stopped at a point. When creating a haiku, as long as you follow the form, you are free to explore content that is unique. By taking single art classes independently I avoided being locked into an arbitrary painting, sculpting or jewelry program.

I was never forced to follow someone else's form. I learned each trade independently.”

Classes from the late sculpting teacher, Ken Price greatly inspired Hellwarth.

When asked how he ended up in Bend, Hellwarth says a chance encounter with a Peace Corps participant in New Delhi paved the way.

“I used to travel to India twice a year from 19861991 while importing art. During a trip I met this amazing young lady from Bend, Oregon. This was the first time the area was put on my radar.”

Hellwarth sells his work around the U.S. and internationally, having just sent a ring to Switzerland. “I am fortunate to have loyal clients and work for them directly. I am building business in Bend and am continuing relationships through commissioned work with many followers in Santa Monica. I always wanted to work on Wall Street but didn't want to do anything in the financial services industry. I got what I wanted!”

Tom’s favorite photography locations are Sunriver, Summer Lake and Klamath Falls. He is a member of the East Cascades Audubon Society and a volunteer at the Sunriver Nature Center where he leads Saturday bird walks.

Tom’s photography exhibit will be at the Sunriver Area Library from June 25 to August 27.

Artists’ Gallery 5th Anniversary…

A CELEBRATION OF ART

SUNRIVER

W

as it only five years ago that Sunriver resident and artist, Midge Thomas, thought that it would be an excellent idea to bring together an eclectic group of Central Oregon artists to sell their work amidst the beautiful backdrop of Sunriver?

Well, as they say, “Time flies when you are having fun!” and Happy Fifth Birthday to the Sunriver Artists’ Gallery.

Thomas’ vision of a fine arts gallery administrated by the artists themselves has been a huge success by all measures.

As if longevity and sales success are not enough, then just check out the customer ratings. There are a total of 30 local Central Oregon artists represented in the gallery.

The entire month of June will be a Celebration Of Art with a special event on Saturday June 11 (4-7pm) when the regularly scheduled Second Saturday’s fun, food and drink is elevated with the addition of live music by local Bend S\ singer/songwriter Tara Snow. Come that evening to enter our free art raffle.

The celebration is highlighted all during June with scheduled artist demonstrations. Although casual in form, each presentation is designed to share specific artist’s work, technique and background.

Each Saturday in June, fine arts and crafts people will be demonstrating oil painting, watercolor, sculpting, weaving, fine jewelry history and intriguing glass process. These demos and talks will both inspire and inform.

The “vibe” of the Gallery has garnered repeat business.

The secret of the membership-style Gallery is “many hands make light work.” In addition to being talented artists, the artists work hard helping with all aspects of keeping the Gallery functioning, vibrant, friendly and ever changing.

Saturday June 4 1pm Karla Proud and gemstones of Oregon, where to find them yourself.

4pm Peter Roussel’s alternative and unique pottery firing techniques.

Saturday June 11 1pm Kim Leahy and the art of Kumihomo jewelry beading 4pm Whimsical watercolor techniques by Deni Porter Saturday June 18 1pm Mary Wonser and the art of Hand Looming 4pm Dori Kite: The secrets of slab built pottery Saturday June 25 1pm Bill Hamilton will demonstrate the layout of a painted landscape.

4pm Bonnie Junell: the design and evolution of her popular poppy paintings.

When you stop by the gallery whether for just a visit to purchase that special piece of art or to gain a better understanding of art techniques and history, you can’t help but enjoy the atmosphere that comes from Midge’s original vision of great local artists working together in a great location.

Sisters Folk Festival Celebrates Young Artists

isters Folk Festival (SFF) is celebrating two end-of-school-year successes by young artists: the completion of the 2016 Americana Project music release and the completion of over 45 hand-made guitars and ukuleles through the Americana Luthier Program.

On Thursday, June 2, students of the Sisters Americana Project are releasing their 13th full-length record, We Are Stardust, all songs written and recorded by students of Sisters High School. The concert will be held at 7pm at The Barn in Sisters. On Tuesday, June 7, the Americana Luthier Program is celebrating the completion of 35 guitars and 15 handmade ukuleles. The showcase will be held at 6:30pm at The Belfry. It is a collaboration between Sisters Folk Festival, Sisters School District and Breedlove Guitars, and funded primarily through Sisters Folk Festival. The program, which was started in 2006 by Jayson Bowerman and Sisters High School woods teacher Tony Cosby, teaches students the age-old craft of building musical instruments.

“There is great collaboration in this as well, where the guitar students work together with engineering students to come up with the design they want to see, and help to make it a reality with the CNC machine, creating their own headstock and rosette designs. They also learn patience, and to stay with it to see the instrument to completion. This kind of integration of engineering and the arts is what makes the program so special, and they get to keep the instrument for life,” says Brad Tisdel, creative director of Sisters Folk Festival and co-founder of the Americana Project.

This Summer Redmond Will Be Full of Rock Chucks

CENTRAL OREGON

N

ot the kind that run around in the canyon or burrow holes in the ground, but fancifully painted rock chuck sculptures will be placed throughout town as part of Redmond’s Public Art “Fun-Raiser” this summer, Chucks in Public Places.

This is an event to celebrate Rock Chucks, the yellow-bellied marmot that always eluded Yosemite Sam and is indigenous to this area. Whether you love them or loathe them, they are unique to Central Oregon, and Redmond thinks you will find theirs particularly cute.

The City of Redmond is currently working with local artists to paint 20 plastic rock chucks. The installation of the completed rock chucks will debut at the Redmond Committee for Arts in Public Places kick-off event at Wild Ride, 4-6pm, June 15.

Following the kick-off event the chucks will be displayed throughout Redmond during the summer with an auction on August 19 to purchase your favorite rock chuck. Betty Jo Simmons, a member of the Redmond Committee for Art in Public Places and a carousel animal carver, carved a whimsical image of a rock chuck. Then Anne Graham, a retired engineer and a Redmond City Councilor, devised a mold from the carving and produced 20 plastic models for the program. In the true Redmond way, they have relied on local talent to produce an extraordinary event.

Kindred Spirits: The Artistic Journey of Lillian Pitt

“I

Exhibit June 23 to September 10, The Museum At Warm Springs

think about the meaning of the words “kindred spirits’ then come up with many meanings,” explains Lillian Pitt. “After 34 years of making a living with my work I remember many people, objects, nature, my ancestors and their markings on the rocks in my ancient homeland.

I have learned about the flexibility and endurance of my River People who thrive to this day and still have the basket making, bead working, carving, fishing equipment making, all the many skills it takes to continue the culture that has been here for thousands of years.

“I feel humbled and blessed to have been given some skills to help continue the teaching with the blessing of my elders to continue my work and my passion with all of what they knew. So many have shared their knowledge knowing I would make something of what was said and had faith in me even if I never believed I could do half of what was told. They knew they were kindred spirits as they saw something in me I did know I had.”

Pitt is a Native American artist from the Columbia River region of the Pacific Northwest. Born on the Warm Springs reservation, she is Warm Springs, Wasco and Yakama. Lillian is deeply committed to the arts and the heritage of Warm Springs. A little over thirty years ago, when she first placed her hands in the clay and brought it to life as viable, exquisite piece of art, she has since grown and evolved into a collectible and respected artist.

Lillian creates contemporary works of fine art that delight today’s collectors and honor the history and legends of her people. She works with clay, bronze, gold and silver jewelry, wearable art, prints, paper and most recently, glass.

33 June 2016 | www.CascadeAE.com

She is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2007 earle e. Chiles award for lifetime achievement, the 1990 governor’s award of the oregon arts and the twanat award from the museum at warm springs in 2012. Lillian is a noted philanthropist, giving back to her community throughout her career. She has donated art to charitable causes and community improvement projects across the pacific northwest.

onger evenings a n d increasingly warmer weather can only mean one thing in Central Oregon. Outdoor dining season is here and we must take advantage of this wonderful but short season.

Just as the kitchen is where people congregate indoors, the grill or BBQ is where people tend to gather outside. While we in the United States did not invent cooking over open flame, we have definitely taken it to a new level with our unique BBQ and grilling cuisine.

Whether you are grilling steaks and veggies quickly over high heat or taking on traditional brisket or pulled pork with low and slow BBQ, the smells wafting through your neighborhood will be the envy of all those around you.

Keeping a few good rubs and seasonings on hand will make your grilling all the more exciting this season. Use any rub or seasoning directly on meat or veggies with some olive oil, or mix them into a marinade, or even use them to make a BBQ sauce. Making a sauce is simple and you can take a basic recipe and spice it up however you want to keep it interesting throughout the Summer.

Savory Spice Welcome Back Outdoor Dining

by MATTHEW PERRY for Cascade AE

DINING

BBQ Master Sauce

This Test Kitchen Approved recipe has been tested for accuracy.

No matter what style of regional BBQ you’re making, you can adapt this sauce to fit by using your favorite Savory BBQ rub as the seasoning. Yields: 1 1/2 cups.

Ingredients

½ medium onion, roughly chopped 1/4 cup water 1 cup ketchup 2/3 cup molasses 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar 2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 2 tbsp. Dijon mustard 1 tsp. Red Habanero Hot Sauce (or similar), optional 2 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tsp. dehydrated minced garlic 3 tbsp. Memphis BBQ Rub

Notes

This is a basic BBQ sauce recipe than can be made using your favorite BBQ rub. Try switching out the Memphis rub with one of our other BBQ rubs, like Carolina High Country BBQ Rub, Native Texan BBQ Rub or Team Sweet Mama’s KC Style Rub. For a tangier, slightly less sweet version, increase ketchup by 1/3 cup, use only 1/3 cup molasses, and substitute white vinegar for cider vinegar and yellow mustard for Dijon mustard.

Directions

Place the onion and water together in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pureed onion, ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard and hot sauce. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and BBQ rub and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in ketchup mixture, bring to a boil and reduce to a low simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until sauce thickens, about 20 to 30 minutes. Cool sauce to room temperature before serving. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, the sauce will keep for about a week.

Serving Suggestions

Use as a basting, finishing or dipping sauce with your favorite grilled chicken, ribs, brisket or veggies.

In Concert: Kirtan

by KRYSTAL MARIE COLLINS AE Feature Writer

T

hose who circulate in a yogi crowd have likely heard of Kirtan. Literally, it’s a group call and response reciting of sanskrit hymns and mantras.

Emotionally, it is much more. Breyn Marr Hibbs, founder of Sol Alchemy Temple where Kirtan is hosted says, “It’s devotional singing from the heart. It’s the path of Bhakti in yogic tradition, the path of devotion.”

Sol Alchemy first began hosting Kirtan, or song circles, in 2014. Hibbs explains, “I had a number of people in the Sol Alchemy community asking me to please pull together a chanting and/or song circle, and I said yes to the call of the community, but I didn’t know how the heck I was going to make it happen. I’m not personally a trained musician or singer, so I wasn’t sure how to lead the circle.”

When Hibbs met musician Katrina Rose Kniest at a Winter Solstice weekend Kirtan retreat, Hibbs found her answer, and her future partner.

The nature of Kirtan is inclusive and fluid. Sitting in a circle means everyone is equally heard and seen. Call and response and a song sheet with lyrics removes pressure for memorization. To boot, finding harmony with the rhythm and melody is quite predictable and comfortable for the novice.

Some participants bring their own Indian instruments while others barrow from a pile in the center of the circle. Accompaniment is improvisational. Kniest starts most chants leading with her guitar and April Nakini Groom, music teacher, compliments with the harmonium, which to the unfamiliar would be comparable to a cross between an accordion and Linus’s small piano. Julie Southwell, director of Ashtanga Yoga and a tenure string musician, often plays violin or guitar. Josh Williams, founder of Cascadian Massage Therapy, provides a rare treat with tabla, a Northern Indian drum with a timbre or metal disk in the center of the stretched hyde.

Kniest speaks to the concept of all skill levels being welcome saying, “Some

people have a wound around singing. Maybe they were told by someone they weren’t a good singer. Kirtan is a great way to clear away any of the blockages we might have around feeling self-conscious about singing. Everyone can sing, and all sound directed through the heart is sacred. Singing in this context is an expression of our soul and our song circles are built on a foundation of nonjudgment and total acceptance. Self expression is encouraged.”

Hibbs says, “One of the things I love most about Kirtan is that no musical or instrumental training is necessary! I bring my voice and my heart and that’s enough!”

Song circles are held the first Sunday of each month from 7-8:30pm at Sol Alchemy and all are welcome. Larger Kirtan events or concerts are also held at Sol Alchemy. www.solalchemy.com, 541-285-4972

Public Choir to Rock Bend No Experience Needed

V

ocal studio Sing Bend is calling on Central Oregonians—shy and bold—to celebrate and share in the joy of singing with a newly forming Public Rock Choir. The group, a creation of Sing Bend instructor Deena Kamm, is designed to provide a fun, non-threatening environment for people of all ages and skill levels to participate. The first Public Rock Choir gathering will take place on June 1 from 6-8pm at Dudley’s Book Shop in downtown Bend.

“My hope is to provide a place where people can come and sing as big and as loud as they want without feeling on the spot,” said Kamm. “It’s not about being a great singer, it’s about joining our collective voices and singing our hearts out for fun and being part of a group music experience without feeling self-conscious or worried about who can hear you and who’s watching.”

Kamm has more than 25 years of experience as a professional singer in Los Angeles, California, where she sang for NBC, CBS, MTV, Clear

Channel, Premier Radio Networks, radio stations and studios across the country. She now lives with her husband and son in Bend where she enjoys the outdoors, teaches voice lessons and performs as part of a musical duo called Lark. As a vocal coach, Kamm knows too well what holds people back from singing.

“So many people miss the opportunity to experience the joy of singing because it seems too scary to put themselves out there or they feel like they don’t know what to do,” said Kamm. “I want to offer them a chance to feel good doing something they might not have the courage to do alone. I want everyone to feel like they are part of one big beautiful voice. If you can talk, you can sing!”

While the group is called a choir, there won’t be any hymns involved. The Public Rock Choir will be singing songs from popular artists like Cold Play, Adele and Michael Jackson.

“We’re going to sing big songs with lots of voices because I want people to really feel it,”

MUSIC said Kamm.

Kamm’s vision is to grow the group to 100 people over time, expand to a larger space and meet weekly. As the project grows, she also hopes to create additional groups focused on different genres (for kids, seniors and others). The first Community Rock Choir session is free, but donations will be accepted. Returning members will pay a $15 fee to help cover costs. Monthly memberships will be offered at a discounted rate when the group expands.

Kamm established Sing Bend in 2014 in response to requests from friends seeking vocal lessons and confidence-building techniques for themselves and their kids. Today, the studio is thriving with a wide range of children and adults finding their voices through song.

New Perspective for June by Eileen Lock

his month begins with big decisions that need to be made on blind faith. The New Moon on the 4th brings changes and opportunities for a fresh start. New relationships could feel challenging on the 6th as you discover new ways to integrate. Conversations on the 8th are helpful yet you could quickly feel torn about which way to go. Be willing to move slowly as you take the next steps.

Cooperation on the 12th makes it easier for you to move forward and make changes. The next few days could ask for you to take care of loose ends in order to move on. Relationships become more emotional on the 17th and you may be asked to make more decisions with very few facts. The Full Moon on the 20th requires you to trust yourself completely as you take a few very important steps. Be patient and gentle with yourself from the 23rd to the 25th as you wait for answers and directions.

Opportunities are cooperative on the 26th and you will need to be willing to do some things that feel awkward or uncomfortable. Realize this is simply because you are in a new situation and are establishing new guidelines for yourself. Action taken after the 29th will feel easier even though it is quite emotional. Let go of your fears and trust completely over the last few days so that you can discover how positive these changes are. Believe in your future and even consider making a few new plans.

Love and Light Always, Eileen Lock Clairvoyant Astrologer/Spiritual Medium, 541-389-1159, www.eileenlock.freeservers.com, www.oneheartministry.freeservers.com Listen for the song in your heart, find the melody and dance to the music.

together to create a unique sound, while striving to tell the story of their diverse backgrounds and collective experience. With instrumental roots in rock, jazz and the blues, the group adds in a hip hop front end along with Caribbean and Latin breaks.

June 25 - Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals are back. Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals will follow up their triumphant reunion tour last summer with Call It What It Is, their first new studio album in over eight years released in April.

July 2-3 - Widespread Panic is a southern rock jam band from Athens, Georgia. The band draw influences from blues-rock, progressive rock, funk, jazz fusion and neo-psychedelia. Making music for over 30 years, Widespread Panic has broken

July 24 - Free music Kitchen Dwellers has a driving, party-hearty spirit with hit songs Workin’ for a Livin, I Want a New Drug, The Heart of Rock & Roll, Hip to Be Square and The Power of Love.
