That is Sisters

long time ago, according to the visionary Bill Smith (owner/developer of the Old Mill District), Sisters was just a blimp on the map and you could have purchased the entire town for a nominal fee. While Brooks Scanlon (Brooks Resources) was creating Black Butte the developers had big hopes of Sisters filling the commercial demand for the new destination resort... so they conspired to keep Sisters from becoming a strip mall. The imaginative young thinkers at Brooks Resources (including Smith and Mike Hollern) gave local businesses money to remodel their storefronts in a western theme. The concept during the ‘70s took root and the community has adapted to the theme ever since.

And with art, an abundance of diverse, collective, arousing local art. In honoring and promoting this feature: the new Sisters Art Association has recently been formed to highlight the value of the arts.

Sisters has seen many ups and downs in its economy, art galleries and boutiques coming and going over the years. But the art and culture that continues to inspire this quaint little town is constantly evolving bringing new life and passion to the Sisters art landscape via the recently The art and culture that designated Hood Avenue continues to inspire Arts District.

this quaint little town is constantly evolving bringing new life and passion to the Sisters art landscape via the recently designated Hood Avenue Arts District.

Sisters is now a town engulfed in western culture with the biggest little show in the world, the renown Sisters Rodeo. With the fabulous eclectic music forum, the Sisters Folk Festival celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. With the artfully inspiring Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show celebrating its 40th anniversary created during the early refocusing days. With the acclaimed musicians who travel to Sisters to perform at the Sisters Starry Nights Concert Series created by the Sisters School Foundation to help finding innovative ways to support Sisters schools. With the Americana Project developed to inspire the creativity of young people and to demonstrate the cultural and historical significance of American roots music and cultural expression.

community wide.

Gallery owners both new and established in this area are forging a unified voice in support of a wide range of arts in Sisters. This voice encompasses artists, creative studios, production companies and arts education,

After years of a subtle acknowledgement of the value of the talent represented in Sisters from the festivals to the artists, the Sisters Art Association will be collectively promoting the arts as a significant and vital part of cultural and the economic welfare of Sisters. The new art association is hosting a reception in conjunction with Cascade A&E at Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery on the fourth Friday artwalk, May 22 at 5pm. The event celebrates the formation of the Sisters Arts Association, designation of the Hood Avenue Arts District and the 20th anniversary of Cascade A&E. Please take a moment to join me in Sisters in May as we celebrate all that is inspiring and artful!

New Roundabouts in SE Bend Next Up for Sculptures

wo of Bend’s newest roundabouts are about to get beautified. Art in Public Places is planning art installations in both the SE Reed Market Road/15th Street and SE Murphy Road/Third Street roundabouts. The nonprofit will post a call to artists later this month on the Call for Entry website, www.callforentry.org. Once three finalists are selected, the nonprofit will show models of the art to the community and take public comments. Sculptures will be fabricated in full scale and installed in spring 2016, according to the organization. Art in Public Places receives funding from the Bend Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Brooks Resources. Evolution by Troy Pillow The group also received money from the 2011 Be Part of Art fundraising campaign and private donations come in throughout the year. Eight of Bend’s 30 roundabouts lack some kind of art installation, according to documents from the city of Bend. “There is no guarantee that every roundabout built in the city will have a piece of art sculpture, as there are many other locations that are suitable for public art,” the organization wrote in an email.

The group has placed installations in many Bend parks, at the Deschutes Public Library, in the St. Charles Cancer Center Healing Garden and at Central Oregon Community College’s Culinary Arts Center. Economic development organization Visit Bend created a Roundabout Art Route as a way to spark cultural tourism. Maps of roundabout art can be found at the Bend Visitor Center, and those who answer trivia questions on 10 or more roundabout sculptures get a prize. The national nonprofit Americans for the Arts recognized Bend’s roundabout art in 2005, calling it some of “the most innovative approaches to public art in the country,” according to Visit Bend. “From a lifestyle perspective, the collection is a gift to everyone who lives in Bend and has the opportunity to appreciate and be inspired by art on a daily basis,” Visit Bend President Doug La Placa wrote in an email. “From a tourism perspective, Bend’s roundabout art is one of the cornerstones of our cultural tourism attractions and does an excellent job communicating the cultural richness of our city.”

Lava Love

Detoxing Treatment at Anjou Spa

Scrub + Wrap.

by Pamela Hulse Andrews for AE

magine a Saturday morning, the weather is nice enough to do a little gardening. You turn the faucet on outside, go mow the lawn and when you come back both of the master suites are flooded in your downstairs. In a half an hour you have an appointment at Anjou Spa for a Lava Love Detox

Should you mop up the water, call the plumber, call the restoration company... or go to the spa? I made the right decision when I decided to jump in the car, make the phone calls and get to my appointment on time. The Lava Love treatment is by far one of the most fabulous health and wellness procedures I have had in our little town of Bend.

Lava Love combines three ingredients, bentonite, zeolite and pumice – all originating from Central Oregon lava – to create a finely-ground pumice Volcano soap, a facial mask that draws out impurities providing relief for sore joints and a detoxifying bath powder that cleanses gently. The fine volcanic pumice acts as an exfoliator that removes dead skin cells gently during the scrub. Using the absorbent and detoxifying characteristics they pull out toxins from your skin by binding to pollutants and heavy metals during the wrap.

The hour long treatment was the perfect ray of sunshine in the storm waiting for me at home. The Vichy shower that concludes the treatment had me laughing about all the water rushing through my day.

I already use Lava Love products in my shower nearly every day so I understood the benefits of the locally made all natural product. And the detox was so powerful and infusing... from the foot and head rub to the exfoliation, I felt incredibly fabulous. Lava Love was created by Portland-based Founder and Owner Elisabeth Dunham. She has integrated these three volcanic elements into a range of products including soap, facial masks and bath powders. Her partner, Attorney Jennifer Clifton of Bend, turned me onto the detox treatment at Anjou. Lava Love, which will unveil a lovely new design next month, can be found in Central Oregon at Newport Market, CE Lovejoys, Namaspa and Mother’s Juice Bar as part of their sensational juice cleanse packages.

While this story takes place in Lewiston, the sport was very much alive in Deschutes County over the years.” Tickets are $10 per person at the door and proceeds directly benefit Historic Preservation Month educational activities.

Venus in Fur at Cascades Theatre

he third edition in Cascades Theatrical Company’s (CTC) Black Box series is David Ives’ Venus in Fur. A playwright/ director is seeking a female lead for his adaptation of a classic tale of sensual power play. The woman who enters his empty audition room at first seems wrong for the part. But soon her strange command of the material, along with her seductive talents and secretive manner, pique the director’s interest. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination. Director Patricia Del Ruth says, “I wanted to direct Venus in Fur because it is a brilliantly written black comedy that is truly enlightening, entertaining, and incredibly sexy from beginning to end. At the heart of the play is a manifesto to women’s rights which makes it an extraordinary piece of art as well.” The New York Times calls the play a “teeter-tottering test of wills,” and “90 minutes of good, kinky fun.” CTC’s Black Box series is a bold alternative to its Main Stage productions. Sets are minimal and subject matter is definitely not tame. There are only four performances of Venus in Fur, May 14-17. Tickets for Black Box shows are $15. All performances are at Cascades Theatre. Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7:30pm.

magine what childhood in the High Desert was like a century ago, when young children were expected not only to go to school and do household chores, but often to work to help their families survive. This was a far different lifestyle from that of today’s tech-savvy youth.

Fremont led the first major cartographic expeditions through Central Oregon and Northern Nevada in 1843-44, naming many local geographical features along the way, with guides Kit Carson and Billy Chinook among his party. Following his research in Oregon, Nevada and California, the success of his published reports launched him to international acclaim and eventually an unsuccessful bid for the presidency.

P A T R I C I SixADecades C L Aof R K Dedication to Her Community by FERNANDO MONTES A&E Feature Writer

or most people who call Central Oregon home, the name Patricia Clark is no doubt a familiar one.

for an artist studio or workshop and 6000 references the elevation of her first studio in Prescott, Arizona.

Yes she is the founder of Atelier 6000 (A6), a modern, nonprofit printmaking studio and gallery situated neat the Old Mill District in Bend. Yet as committed and successful an artist as she has been over the past six decades, one can confidently say that her “achievement of a lifetime” is also that of a devoted educator. A dedication that in less than a decade since she first arrived in Bend has made her a treasure of our arts community.

Operating as a nonprofit creates specialized opportunities for A6 to work well with other nonprofit organizations. A6 acts as a museum to show the history of printmaking for school groups to view and features specialized artists such as wood engravers and photo etching specialists. Traveling exhibits, in partnership with other print houses, are showcased in the presentation gallery. The nonprofit status enables the studio to apply for grants to enlist greater opportunities for class scholarships and more transparent studio to studio collaborations for community members.

Retiring as a professor, Clark moved to Bend nearly ten years ago and wanted to continue to do her artwork. Immediately she recognized the unique characteristics of the land would provide a wealth of inspiration and a distinct quality to her work. However, when she realized there wasn’t a place large enough to create her prints, she opened A6 for the third time in 2007. Atelier is French

May 2015 | www.CascadeAE.com

Being a place for learning, A6 offers classes in partnership with COCC, OSU-Cascades, Oregon College of Art and Craft and Portland State University, where students can learn directly from master artist teachers. Books arts are featured at A6, such as in this exhibition of Tunnel Books.

“We are a center of information for book

arts and print making,” says Clark. “We feel we are a vital part of the creative community in Bend and we want to continue to grow. Being nonprofit provides a good contribution to the community.” A6 is an open studio providing opportunities for artists, from novice to professional expertise, to attend classes, Artist-in-Residence workshops and Art Talks. She adds, “It’s been very heart warming for me to see the change in the community since A6 opened its doors and how they’ve supported us.” Ever the educator, Pat is pleased that the importance of print-making of all varieties is being taught and enjoyed throughout Central Oregon. “One of the most important things we’ve tried to communicate is the importance of the original print during the print making process, and not the reproduction... there is a huge difference between buying a poster and buying the original handpulled print.” Pat’s career up to this point (she’s still a working artist and instructor, after all) will be celebrated from the beginning until the end of this month with the exhibit, Clark @ 80: A Retrospective. Curated by Sandra Miller the exhibit will highlight her prints, paintings, drawings (Six Decades of Marks) and artist books from her earliest periods until present day. In addition, the six other members who helped found A6 will also be represented. Illustrating the

current decade is a new piece that had yet to be finished at the time of this interview. Fish Ladders (graphite and prismacolor on clayboard) encompases her continuing interest and concern for our modern-day environment and is her vision of the water table – how it affects agriculture, fishermen and fisheries, and man’s role in climate change. Briefly, a water table describes the boundary between water-saturated ground and unsaturated ground. “For the last 15 years I’ve been very interested in the environment, particularly landscape architecture... my work over the years reflects this – it talks about archeology, pottery shards, vanishing cultures and also the environment and the shape we’re in with the water table… this is something happening now that we need to talk about.” Cascade A&E congratulates Pat on her latest milestone and looks forward to the completion of her latest series of works.

My subject matter varies widely from capturing images of the art, architecture, culture and everyday life in Europe, Africa and the western and southwestern U.S. to the “inner life of plants and flowers” via macro photography. Using digital imagery, in some instances I am able to transform a photograph into something that appears more as a painting.” Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin, presents First Friday with the exhibition De La Cuisine featuring Ann Bullwinkel, Joanne Donaca, Bill Logan, Mary Marquiss and Barbara Slater. De La Cuisine, translates loosely from French as Of The Kitchen and features paintings of food.

Deeply connected to the native flora and fauna of the High Desert landscape, her art centers on the land’s colors, shapes, animals and powerful spirit. “In these new works I am pushing the boundaries of abstraction to focus on the essence of the animal – trying to get at its energy and life force.” Her intent is to interpret, celebrate and honor wildlife, to connect in new ways and create a conversation Fire on the Mountain by Ingrid Lustig about the nature of wildness. She brings this abstraction to the essence of land forms as well, looking deep below the surface.

helly Wierzba grew up in an artistic household. Her mother was a well know oil painter in the San Francisco Bay Area. She spent many hours doing homework in the Palo Alto Art Club and helping her mom tote her large paintings to competitions and exhibits from Carmel to San Francisco. Wierzba didn’t consider art as a career as a young person, and it wasn’t encouraged. Instead her path led to the medical field and she dabbled in painting as a pastime until she retired in 2000. “I believe that being around a lot of art growing up developed my ‘artistic eye’ in a very subconscious way,” Wierzba explained. “When I started painting full time, I would look at my painting and know that there was something wrong, but not know what it was or how to fix it. Through years of experience I’ve come to appreciate that when one understands, and can deftly use the basic fundamentals, and then elevate those with a concept that is connected to their personal vision and soul, that is when a piece of ‘art’ has been created. That’s the challenge that motivates me.” Oil paints have replaced the watercolor paints for the last two years. She loves painting in plein air (outside) which affords the opportunity to spend more time with her fly fishing husband. You may see her set up on the Deschutes River or one of our local lakes. This coming year she wants to experiment with painting more downtown Bend scenes. “I love Bend and feel very grateful to live here. Central Oregon is a painters paradise,” Wierzba adds. Wierzba is a juried member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, the Federation of Western Watercolor Societies and the High Desert Art League. Her work is represented by the Red Chair Gallery in Bend.

Rhodes is a pastel artist with a fondness for encaustics. Of all the mediums she has worked with she is most passionate about encaustics, an ancient art that combines bees wax and pigment. Rhodes puts her own contemporary spin on the process all the while loving the bright colors, texture and challenges that working with hot wax can present. Kaseber has developed the once obscure process of solvent transfer to new levels of expressiveness. Process involves borrowing inks from various printed media as well as his own photos and graphics, chemically dissolving them and transferring the image onto a new surface.

Arts 6th Annual Sunriver Art Faire

Best of Show 2015 Quality Art & Featured Artists in Sunriver

ach year the Sunriver Art Faire selects a Best of Show artist, chosen not only for their art, but also the booth display and the appeal of the art to the community. This honor comes with an invitation to the next year’s show.

The Sixth Annual Sunriver Art Faire is coming to the Village at Sunriver on August 7-9. The Faire has grown over the last five years and this year will host 60+ artists. Artists are chosen by a jury of contemporaries or art specialists who ensure that the art is of high quality, true to its category, and offers a range of options for purchase. Categories represented in 2015 include painting, ceramics, photography, glass, jewelry, metal work, wood, textiles, sculpture and mixed media. The variety is one of the most inviting features of the Sunriver Art Faire.

Best of Show Artists over the last five years: 2010 Karen E. Lewis states, “Water became a natural subject for me to paint.” Her oil paintings always include water, with sweeping brushstrokes to express the life of the water and its surrounding environment. Karen’s painting in 2010 not only won at the Sunriver Art Faire, but was chosen as the poster for the 2010 Sunriver Music Festival. 2011 Ross Mazur worked as a photographer in the furniture industry until he and his wife, Marcia, began making clay wall sculptures. His current unique wall sculptures are made of handmade paper, a technique involving myriads of texture and color and using the colors of the Southwest. He is now realizing his life’s dream, “…knowing that today I am doing what I truly love.”

2012 Cameron Kaseberg began as a photographer and then studied graphic design at Portland State University. He is now represented in five galleries in Oregon and Washington and participates in many solo and group exhibitions throughout the Northwest. Cameron has taken the solvent transfer process of image-making further than any artist working today, combining the process with photo images to produce color, imagery and texture that make a statement to all who collect his work. A Little Fluff Cameron Kasenberg

Raised on a ranch in Eastern Oregon, Cameron claims he has “…lived long enough to reflect on life through his art work…”

Sunriver Library Art Exhibit with

A RT I S T S’ G A L L E RY

Sandra Neary & Karen Padrick

he Sunriver Area Library Art Committee is excited to present an exhibit of the paintings of artist Sandra Neary along with fabric bags crafted by Karen Padrick. Both artists are residents of South Deschutes County. When you see Neary’s paintings you will be struck by the variety of her work. She paints in watercolor, acrylics, ink, pen and pencil as well as collage and her subjects are both representational and abstract in nature. Bits and Pieces by Sandra Neary Neary has taken community college classes and attended numerous workshops in drawing, painting and composition. Teaching artists Lana Grow, Gerald Brommer, Jean Grastorf and Ruth Armitage have had important influence on her work. “I get caught up in the excitement and unpredictability of creating abstract works by pouring paint, then find quieter space by creating deep textures in a collage with materials I’ve gathered.”

Padrick has been sewing since she was about 11 years old, and even created her own wedding dress. At the library exhibit, she is showing her delightful, quilted bags with landscape designs, for which she selects the fabric and threads, then runs it through her computerized embroidery/sewing machine to make the appliquéd design and finally stitches the bag together. Padrick discovered her love of quilting when she moved to Sunriver in 1997 and joined the Mountain Meadow Quilters, the Sunriver area quilt guild. She has served as treasurer of the guild and also as their newsletter editor. Her lifelong love of sewing is apparent in her fabric creations. This exhibit is on display from May 2 to June 27 during library hours. Closed Sunday and Monday. There is an artist’s Landscape by Karen Padrick reception on May 9, 2-4pm at the library. Neary will give a short talk about her work at about 2:30pm.

Life Imitates Art at Artists’ Gallery Sunriver May featured artists are Terry Giltner and Nancy Cotton. Meet them at the 2nd Saturday Meet the Artists Reception, May 9, 4-6pm with wine, beer and food. TERRY GILTNER: Water Color Giltner has gone from being a science teacher with a degree in biomedical science to a focus and love of watercolor painting. When Terry decided to stay home with her small children she began painting and selling her work. She also entered art shows and won awards at various levels throughout the years. Terry later went back to teaching and taught art for 15 years. She found enjoyment in working with pen and ink and felt the drawing experience was a form of meditation.

The last few years Terry has traveled and experiencing life in Texas, Hawaii, Oregon and Thailand. She enjoys creating art from the influences of those travels and cannot imagine life without art. She now lives in Sunriver Oregon and is an agent with Gibson Realty in the Sunriver Business Center. Terry uses her eye for detail and design to help her clients with their real estate needs. NANCY COTTON: Quilter and Fiber Artist Cotton is one of the original founders of Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver. She, along with her husband Greg Cotton (woodworker) have been a vital part of not only producing fine art in the gallery, but the day to day nuts and bolts details of keeping a group of 30 artists keeping the teamwork humming along. A bit like herding kittens…as they say. Thank you Nancy.

Currently, Nancy has created a series of Asian inspired quilted wall hangings and table runners. The pieces range from a pieced Kimono wall hanging to inspired motifs containing fans and birds and Asian details.

Nancy is a multi-talented artist who creates many forms of fiber art. In the gallery you will find hand knit wonderful hats and cowl collars as well as a very cute quilted hat reminiscent of a style from the 1920s and brought into today’s styles. We love her table runners in a myriad of colors, motifs and shapes. She changes the images to fit the season as well.

Welcoming the New Sisters Arts Association Bringing New Life & Passion to Sisters Art Scene

he new Sisters Art Association is hosting a reception in conjunction with Cascade A&E at Ken Scott’s Imagination Gallery on May 22 at 5pm. The gallery is at 222 W Hood Avenue in Sisters. The event celebrates the formation of Sisters Arts Association, designation of the Hood Avenue Arts District and the 20th anniversary of Cascade Arts & Entertainment. A&E Publisher and Founder Pamela Hulse Andrews and her staff will be on hand to meet the public and take part in the Fourth Friday Art Stroll through Sisters Galleries. Galleries will have featured artists receptions, live music, refreshments and remain open until 7pm. The vision for the Sisters Arts Association began with recognition of the Hood Avenue Arts District by Oregon Travel Experience (OTE), and the support from the City of Sisters and the businesses involved on Hood Avenue. Once this mission had been accomplished, it was time to coalesce a unified voice in support of a wide range of arts in Sisters. This voice would represent and support galleries, artists, creative studios, production companies and arts education, community wide. The Sisters Arts Association is a creative community dedicated to the promotion of the arts as an important and indispensable part of life and the economy of Sisters. The Association exists to provide its members with

a collective voice for promotion of the arts and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among artists and the community. The Sisters Arts Association is officially registered with the State of Oregon as a nonprofit corporation. The organization is also a member of the Central Oregon Arts and Cultural Alliance, as well as a recognized entity by a number of Oregon cultural partners including the Oregon Cultural Trust, The Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Community Foundation and Oregon Humanities. So far, the community of Sisters has been incredibly receptive to the formation of this association. This includes the Roundhouse Foundation, Sisters Chamber of Commerce, City of Sisters and a wide range of non art-based businesses. “We also have very strong and clear support from Arts Central: the Arts and Culture Council for Central Oregon based in Bend,” said Tina Brockway, owner of Hood Avenue Gallery. “Recovering from a challenging and difficult economic period, the Arts Association is bringing new life and passion to the town’s art scene, spearheaded by a group of dynamic new artists and new vitality from established galleries.” Come to Sisters for a beautiful evening every fourth Friday, when galleries offer light libations, live music and educational discussions on art process and theory.

Prineville’s Growing Art Community

hen people think of Prineville, they often think of a quiet ranching community, rural living and the western lifestyle. Many recreationalists know the Prineville area as a place to enjoy peaceful forest trails for mountain biking, dispersed camping, world class fly fishing, and an outdoor experience free from the crowds often present in many other popular recreation areas.

But lately there is also an emerging art community blossoming within the quiet town of Prineville. On May 8, Prineville businesses will host their first Art Crawl event of the season. The event will kick off a series of monthly Art Crawl events that will occur on the Second Friday of the month from May through September.

The 2nd Friday Prineville Art Crawl began as an idea of local gallery owner Roger Peer through his work with local artists at his gallery. “As I began working with these artists, I discovered that we had a significant group of talented local artists, as well as a lot of interest in art from the community,” relayed Peer. “The support and enthusiasm for the event has been inspiring.” Peer, an artist himself, has a passion for promoting the arts that goes beyond his role as the owner of local art gallery Galerie Roger. Through meeting

the artists he discovered quite an interest in art in the local community. After some networking and planning, he approached the PrinevilleCrook County Chamber of Commerce with his idea.

“The Chamber was excited to take on the idea of the Art Crawl and offered their support,” reported Peer. So with the help of a handful of local businesses, the local Chamber of Commerce and several members of the community the 2nd Friday Prineville Art Crawl was born.

For the first event of the season 15 locations throughout Prineville will be showcasing art from over 40 Central Oregon artists. The format will be familiar to those who visit the art walks in other communities All the participating businesses will be displaying many different mediums of art. Many of these locations will also be serving wine, light appetizers or other refreshments. Visitors will be welcomed and encouraged to walk around and drift in an out of the local businesses and view the paintings, sculptures and other art on display. The event is assured to be casual and relaxing, and a great way to meet many of the local businesses and artists. The event officially starts at 5pm and businesses will be open until 8pm. But of course people are encouraged to start visiting the businesses and art on display as early Friday afternoon as they would like.

Dining Jackalope’s Chef Tim – King Of Sauces by LINDEN GROSS A&E Feature Writer

Photo by Linden Gross

Humanely raised Veal Chop à la Chasseur

ver since my first meal at the Jackalope Grill years ago, I’ve considered owner and chef Tim Garling as the area’s king of sauces. He just does them better than anyone else. My recent dinner at Jackalope confirmed that he has not relinquished his crown.

My regular dining companion and I started with a crisp baby spinach salad with fresh strawberries, candied pecans and Feta in a honeywhite balsamic vinaigrette dressing. We loved the sweet-acidic play and the crisp freshness. Accents of fresh mint and tarragon leaves added an unexpected bite to the visually beautiful appetizer. Chef Tim then brought us a new dish inspired by a recent month-long trip to Andalusia. Smoked oysters perched atop a timbale of red potato salad dressed in a light aioli, studded with plump pieces of shrimp and topped with avocado. Creaminess to the third power meets briny smokiness. Delicious. Our two entrees were equally impressive...

The Veal Chop à la Chasseur featured tender, juicy and unbelievably tasty Le Québécois veal in

a rich brown sauce made with white wine, shallots, shiitake mushrooms and tomatoes served over melt-in-your-mouth sundried tomato polenta. Chef Tim told us that the veal was humanly-raised, meeting handling and welfare requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE). The protocol for humane conduct promotes the safety, health and well-being of the calves at every point of the growth cycle. That made me love the dish even more. After we’d carved off every possible morsel from the chop we had split, my dining companion dared me to chew on the bone. No problem. Meanwhile she was already planning her return for a veal chop she didn’t have to share. I also loved the Pan-Seared Corvina with Creamy Risotto. The corvina – a mild-tasting saltwater fish – featured a super crispy crust and tender, sweet flesh drizzled with caper, sundried tomato and fresh basil butter. The magic really happened when I combined a bite of the fish

with perfectly cooked Meyer lemon and shiitake mushroom risotto. Oh my! I could eat that dish for breakfast. (I restrained myself and had the leftovers for lunch.)

We finished our meal with Tarte Tatin, an upside-down tart featuring apples caramelized in sugar and butter. The French classic, served with ice cream and whipped cream, was as rich and as good as I’ve ever had, which says a lot since I spent five years in Paris as a kid and had a mother who regularly baked James Beard’s version of the dessert at home.

From the first bite to the last bite of our meal, Chef Tim’s sophisticated palate and deft culinary talent ruled. Hail to the king. Tim Garling’s Jackalope Grill 750 NW Lava Rd., #139, Bend 541-318-8435 info@jackalopegrill.com Owners: Tim & Kathy Garling Open daily 4:30pm – close

n a world where there is more music than ever, there’s just something about Ellis. She is at once funny and wise, thoughtful and uninhibited and her captivating voice is matched by her uplifting lyrics. Ellis’ performances are transformational; she leaves her audiences better than she finds them, with softened edges and opened hearts. “After her performances at the Sisters Folk Festival, we’re thrilled to bring Ellis back to Sisters to celebrate her contagious attitude toward life, her warm, soul-strengthening songs and her connection to our community and humanity on a whole,” says Brad Tisdel, creative director for Sisters Folk Festival. A winner of several awards and honors including the Grassy Hill New Folk Contest in 2013, Ellis has been recognized both for her songwriting skills and her engaging performances. Ellis has also been a featured guest on A Prairie Home Companion, and endears herself authentically to her audiences.

Ellis’ eighth full-length recording is a live three-disc CD set called Wherever You Are. The package features two full sets recorded live on the same night with no songs cut, and includes stories, laughter and applause. The third disc includes ten of the song tracks without the banter or applause to provide an alternative listening experience.

Sean Chen, the 2013 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Crystal Medalist, is back by popular demand. The first American to place as a finalist since 1997, Sean Chen won fans with his “exceptional ability to connect with an audience combined with an easy virtuosity,” (Huffington Post). In 2013, Chen won the American Pianists Association’s Christel DeHaan Classical Fellowship, one of the most lucrative and significant prizes available to an American pianist. Chen will perform a solo concert on August 17, perform the Mendelssohn Piano Concerto no.1 with the Festival Orchestra on August 19 and will instruct a piano master class on Tuesday, August 18. The pops concert on Friday, August 7 at Summit High School will feature the Festival Orchestra’s performance of Grofé’s Grand Canyon Suite while experiencing hundreds of brilliant photographs of the Grand Canyon projected onto a 440-squarefoot, three-panel, panoramic screen suspended above the orchestra. This creative synthesis of music and imagery provides an outstanding and compelling new symphonic experience. Cellist Amit Peled will be the featured soloist of Concert II on Wednesday, August 12 in the Great Hall performing the Haydn Cello Concerto in C major with the Festival Orchestra. From the United States to Europe to the Middle East and Asia, Israeli cellist Amit Peled is a musician of profound artistry and charismatic stage presence. Peled surprises audiences with the ways he

breaks down barriers between performers and the public, making classical music more accessible to wider audiences. This year is a celebration of the Festival’s Young Artists Scholarship program’s 20th anniversary. As part of the celebration festivities, Maestro Hanson has invited eight-time Young Artists Scholarship award winner Kyle Ruggles to perform as a soloist with the Festival Orchestra. He is a recent graduate from the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston and will be the featured flute soloist for the John Rutter Suite Antique on August 15 at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend. Concert III at the Tower Theatre on Saturday, August 15 will also feature the talented Central Oregon Mastersingers performing the music of Bernstein and Copland with the Sunriver Music Festival Orchestra. The popular family concert is returning this year on August 10 at the Sunriver Resort Great Hall. This one hour concert will be held at 4pm and will feature excerpts from the patriotic Pops Concert and the classical concerts, plus Ruggles.

Les Schwab Amphitheater on a Roll with Numerous Concerts

n capping this year’s Memorial Day Weekend line up, they scored a coup said Marney Smith, director of the Les Schwab Amphitheater. Seriously, they have Robert Plant coming to Bend... “So that’s The Decemberists on Friday, Ryan Adams on Saturday, take Sunday off, and then Robert Plant on Monday (Memorial Day),” she added in a note announcing the weekend concerts. This show is Robert Plant’s only Oregon show and marks his first Oregon show since his triumphant return to the stage at Portland’s Waterfront Bluesfest in 2013. “Plus, this is only his fifth Oregon show since in the last 14 years,” added Smith. “To say this show is a rarity is an understatement!” Robert Plant isn’t the only coup for the popular amphitheater. Last year’s concert lineup numbered only seven performances (including the only Oregon performance for Ringo) but this summer you’ll see several more lineups. www.eventticketscenter.com

With nothing to prove and only something sincere to share, The Giving Tree Band love what they do and approach their craft like a sacred art. This includes tuning all their instruments precisely sharp in order to access hidden yet wonderfully potent tones that trace back to an ancient mythology of healing and miracles. Their musical strings vibrate in alignment with natural cycles of the earth and moon, and this frequency of love and message of harmony resonates the heart strings of many thousands of people from all walks of life. The band has had many unique opportunities to connect with all kinds of music lovers and grow a community of Giving Treehuggers. Going back to 2010, their third studio album, The Joke, The Threat And The Obvious, climbed into the Top 40 of the Americana Airplay Chart and other roots radio. This helped establish the band as a promising folk rock act to many in the country world who could appreciate the crossover stylings of some influences like Kris Kristofferson, The Band, The Byrds, Gram Parsons/ Flying Burrito Brothers or The Eagles. And so, the group hit the road and toured extensively for years straight. www.thegivingtreeband.com Photo courtesy of Oregon Music News

New Perspectives for May by Eileen Lock

his month starts right out filled with a wide spectrum of emotions. The Full Moon on the 3rd could involve endings and it is important to let go of trying to control the outcome. By the 6th you will have definition and it will make more sense. The heart becomes more sensitive after the 7th as it looks back at the past. Confusion on the 9th simply requires that you trust your intuition and have faith in the direction you are heading. Take your time as you move forward and know there is plenty of time. Action taken after the 11th will be intended to create change. Significant decisions are made on the 14th and there is celebration by the 16th. The New Moon on the 17th invites us all to slow down a bit and take time to listen to ourselves. New ideas are strong on the 21st and it could lead to transformations in

relationships. Realize you are seeking change and be sure to make the ones that you really want. Relationships are challenged on the 25th and you could find yourself with doubts. Positive communications on the 27th will bring more cooperation and healing. Listen to those around you over the last few days and let yourself be changed by what you hear. The message will be loud and clear on the 30th and it will be up to you to be honest about what you are learning. Do yourself a favor and take your time before you decide what to do next.
