Celebrating Happy People From Burning Man to Sisters Folk Festival

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. ~ Marcel Proust (French novelist, critic and essayist 1871-1922)

I

t’s hard to believe that I would compare a brazenly weird survival camp to a mainstream harmonious music festival. The first, Burning Man, is in the middle of the Black Rock Desert, a hot brutal setting where the elements alone can measure your strength of fortitude. The other, Sisters Folk Festival, is situated in a quiet, comfortable town with pleasant amenities that allow you to settle in comfortably.

But coming from one to the other within a few short days allows me to reflect on why I like both and how the experiences are mutually rewarding.

The music at Burning Man is full barrels on cabaret...a quarry of mixed blues and rock’n’ roll, leaving no upbeat and weathered genre unturned. Whereby the Folk Festival is a well-planned bevy of unabashed Americana music from blues to honky-tonk to classic country and good ole’ rock’n’roll.

embrace the action.

At Burning Man cocktails and grilled cheese stands, enhancement workshops including drum making and pasties classes, hair-washing stations and art installations are gifts provided by Burners for others to enjoy.

At the Folk Festival the gift is the music, an abundance of exemplary sounds provided all day and way into the evening so that over a three day period The Road Goes On Forever and the Music Never Ends (Robert Earl Keen).

In a world of disasters, contradictions and complexities, it’s nice to find people doing happy things!

There’s much to like about both, although the Folk Festival clearly is all about the music and Burning Man is more complicated combining survival, connection and expression through amazing works of art turned into invigorating flames.

It seems silly to compare them if not for jumping from one to the other so quickly, hardly taking a breath from the hot crazy desert scene to the harmonious selection of the agreeable western town of Sisters.

Still the similarities remain with me and here is what I want to share: There is something about being exactly where you want to be when you want to be there that makes people happy...and happy people I encountered at both places. Not just hi, what a nice day this is happy, but the kind of impression that you want to hug just about everyone you cross paths with. The kind of happy that if you lost your ticket or forgot where you were staying, you knew everything would be just fine. The sort of happiness that inspires a new adventure around every corner.

Second, the people who made it all happen, who spent all the hours and days before the event to make sure that everything was in place and your experience would be grand. Those people are really happy...even being exhausted they are still jovial, accommodating and welcoming. You want to say: I’ll have what she’s having.

Third, gifting. Yes, you are required to purchase a ticket to both events (although the mere $100 for Sisters Folk Festival is much more of a bargain that the $400 for Burning Man that includes only the desert dirt you get to camp on). But still they are both like a big family picnic, the guiding principles seem to be to share, enjoy and Download the CascadeAE App | October 2014

Sunriver Music Festival’s Successful 37th Season

“The music was fabulous, the audiences were full and we finished the year with money in the bank,” remarked the Sunriver Music Festival’s Board President Mal Murphy, summarizing the Festival’s 37th season. The season ran from August 4 – 20 and included six concerts, free orchestra rehearsals, a piano master class, receptions and the Festival’s major fundraiser Festival Faire. Two of the concerts were in Bend at the Tower Theatre and Summit High School. Four concerts were held in the Sunriver Resort’s Great Hall. The Festivals’ concerts continue to attract a large number of patrons who plan their vacations to Central Oregon around the timeframe of the music festival each year. This year over 25 percent of the total tickets purchased were from visitors to Central Oregon, 40 percent were purchased by Bend and Central Oregon homeowners and 35 percent Sunriver homeowners.

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Raises Funds

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show board member Myrna Dow presented a check from fundraising activities at the 39th Annual Quilt Show in July, in the amount of $12,610 to the Wendy’s Wish Project/St. Charles Cancer Care Center of Bend, Oregon.

“Everyone knows us for our inspiring quilts, but the mission of SOQS also is to enhance the economic and cultural vitality of the communities of Sisters and Central Oregon,” said SOQS Board President and Founder Jean Wells Keenan, “We are thrilled that our fundraising Wish Upon A Card partnership with Wendy’s Wish/St. Charles Cancer Center benefits so many individuals in Central Oregon.”

In its eighth year, Wish Upon A Card is a special project created by the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS) to benefit the Wendy’s Wish Project/St. Charles Cancer Care Center. The SOQS Community Partnership project has raised more than $90,000 dollars in the last eight years for that cause. Wendy’s Wish Project/St. Charles Cancer Care Center uses the funds raised to support patients and families of those undergoing cancer treatments with nonmedical monetary support.

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show Named One of Best Events

The American Bus Association (ABA) announced that Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show (SOQS) has been designated as one of the Top 100 Events in North America for 2015 by an experience expert tourism industry selection committee. Inclusion in the Top 100 list, published as a supplement to the September/October issue of Destinations magazine, indicates that SOQS offers excellent entertainment value to both tour groups and individual travelers from around the world, according to ABA. With the release of the American Bus Association’s 2015 Top 100 Events in North America, ABA celebrates 33 years of the program. What began as a way for motorcoach operators to incorporate new product into their itineraries has grown to one of the most sought-after lists by travel professionals, motorcoach operators and the general public.

veryone experiences BendFilm differently. Choosing among 94 films watched over four days at seven different venues ensures an entirely different combination of movies for each festivalgoer. Often when I’m standing in line on Sunday after three days of the festival, I poll those around me for their favorite films, and they are always the ones I haven’t watched.

It’s so hard! The documentaries are riveting and cover every subject under the sun.

This year the films range from Freeload, documenting the life of a hobo, to Slingshot, a tale about the eccentric genius of Segway inventor Dean Kamen, to Heaven Adores You, the intimate inquiry into the life and times of Portland singer Elliot Smith.

And the narratives? BendFilm Director Todd Looby called Bob Birdnow’s Remarkable Tale of Human Survival and the Transcendence of Self one of the best films he saw last year and Kumuko: The Treasure Hunter one of the more original movies in the festival. A is for Alex is hilarious and I Believe in Unicorns is a fascinating coming of age story.

And the shorts! I love the shorts. Smart, funny, witty and bizarre, shorts this year run the gamut from local Richard Scott Nelson’s poignant look at our well-know waterway, Rivière Des Chutes, to animated films like Eye in Tuna Care and Women Who Hates Plants.

The best part? Getting transported to other worlds, other imaginations and emerging from the theatre unsure of the time of day, the day of the week or even where you are.

A Celebration of Writing will be October 18 at 7:30pm with winning writers from throughout the state reading short works of fiction, nonfiction, mystery/detective, memoirs, science fiction/fantasy and poetry.

The event is the highlight of the Central Oregon Writing Guild’s seventh annual Harvest Writing Contest, which offers cash prizes to winning Oregon writers. Contest entries are at a record high as the contest gains in popularity and importance.

“Many of the entries wowed me with the talent and caliber of writing,” said M. (Mary) Pax, a successful Bend-area science fiction writer and one of the contest judges. “Many made me laugh out loud.

Oregon writers are definitely a witty, passionate and skilled lot.”

“Many of the entries wowed me with the talent and caliber of writing,” said M. (Mary) Pax, a successful Bend-area science fiction writer and one of the contest judges. “Many made me laugh out loud. Oregon writers are definitely a witty, passionate and skilled lot.”

Jami Carpenter, also on the judge’s panel said, “The stories and poems were wonderful, fun and entertaining and clever. The quality of writing amazed me. The topics ranged from the silly to the sublime, and kept me turning the pages. Central Oregon has a wealth of writing talent.”

add to the celebratory feel of the event.

Come cheer on your favorite writers, hear stories artfully told and find inspiration for your own creative work.

Pax notes that entering the contest in 2009 and 2013 motivated her to stretch her writing boundaries. “The first year I entered was the most significant,” she said.“The entry was the first short story I had written. I learned that writing short fiction is so much faster than novels. I started writing more of it and submitting to magazines and ezines. The feedback from editors was invaluable. It gave me a boost in confidence and made me rethink my approach to a writing career.”

Rettig, who has placed first and third in the contest, notes that previous top placers have ranged from college students to writers who have gone on to win Emmy awards.

The contest is just one way the guild provides support and education to area writers. The guild also offers monthly meetings, critique groups and workshops. www.centraloregonwritersguild.com

Carpenter is a book editor who works with boutique publishers as well as with independent self-publishing writers.

Contest Chair Mike Rettig feels, “The unique and most powerful part of the contest is listening to the top-10 placers read their work in front of an audience.”

Last year’s awards evening was so popular, it outgrew its Redmond-area venue. As a result, this year’s celebration will be in Bend’s new Hampton Inn in the Old Mill District.

The venue can accommodate a larger audience and offers easy accessibility. The cost to attend is just $10. A no host beer and wine bar will

Rick Steber Releases All-Around & the 13th Juror

Literary Word

ll-Around and the 13th Juror by award-winning Eastern Oregon author Rick Steber, is centered in the world of rodeo with the characters and the shooting death of All-Around Cowboy, Mac Griffith.

This true contemporary Eastern Oregon story reads like pages ripped from a dime novel. All-around rodeo cowboy Mac Griffith is gunned down after a barroom brawl. The shooter is arrested and charged with murder. At the ensuing trial, a cast of truly colorful western characters parade to the witness stand. It is their testimony – what they have to say and what they are not allowed to say – that leads the jury to make its ultimate decision.

After a half-century this case is revisited, and this time those involved in the shooting tell all the graphic details of what happened, why it happened and what has played out in the aftermath. And you, the reader, have the opportunity, and perhaps the responsibility and obligation, to examine the testimony and facts of the case and come to a decision on whether a guilty man was Rick Steber allowed to walk free, or was the man who pulled the trigger acting within his constitutional rights when he stood his ground and took the life of another man? The final decision will be up to you, the 13th juror.

Popular and prolific author, Steber, has more than 30 titles under his belt and sales of over a million books. Steber is the only Oregon author to have won the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award – Best Western Novel. He is a keen observer of the changing American West and he articulates these changes in prose that are boldly descriptive, invigorating and creative. www.ricksteber.com

Hawkins Brothers Produce Grim but Gripping Film

S

imon and Zeke Hawkins make an impressive directorial debut with their crime thriller Bad Turn Worse, formerly called We Gotta Get Out of This Place. Set in South Texas, this film plunges into the seedy underbelly of society as three teenagers become involved in organized crime. Two of the main characters, Sue and Bobby, are preparing to escape their small, cotton mill town by leaving for college. B.J., the third main character, steals money from a local gangster to take Sue and Bobby out for an extravagant weekend of partying before they leave. Unfortunately, all three teens end up paying the price.

It soon becomes clear that B.J. messed with the wrong man. As the title suggests, the situation quickly escalates from bad to worse. The teenagers find themselves coerced into offsetting the robbery by committing a larger one. Betrayals and corruption complicate the already dangerous circumstances, enough so that the audience is anxious to know how it all ends.

Forewarning, this film is not for the faint-hearted. Gritty and intense, Bad Turn Worse portrays a stark realism with scary scenes that push the audience to their limit. The cinematography is stunning, and effectively captures the look and feel of a dead-end, small town in Texas. The setting, musical score and believable characters all worked together to create this tense, grim atmosphere that is maintained throughout, aside from the partying scenes.

After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2013, it won the audience award at the AFI Fest. Todd Gilchrist of Indiewire said this movie, “announces the arrival of considerable new filmmaking talents.”The Hawkins brothers show it’s possible to make a quality film on a modest budget. Bad Turn Worse is produced by Rough and Tumble Films and will be distributed by Starz in North America this fall. Keep an eye out for this film, as it will be opening in select theaters and VOD platforms on November 14.

2nd Street Theater Appeal - Nonprofit Needs Community Help

by RENEE PATRICK, Cascade A&E Editor need community support,” Thoma explained.

Thoma offers that Kline was a driving force behind the recent smash hit, Spamalot, at the Tower Theatre. “She was responsible for getting the rights, building the sets, the wardrobe and paying everyone -- the director, Maralyn Thoma (left) in a recent 2nd Street Theater musical director, choreog- production, Helen on Wheels rapher, stage crew and actors. The show broke Tower Theatre records, and Sandy wound up without any compensation.”

Some of theatre’s expenses include buying the rights to the plays they produce, operating their box office, designing and constructing the stage sets and paying their actors.

“It’s a passion for Sandy and she does everything she can for the theatre… the problem is she [and Greg both] have day jobs. They work full days and then come to the theatre and put in another 40-60 hours a week,” she explained.

Specifically Thoma said they would love to get sponsors for their shows and welcome donations of any kind. “If we could find enough sponsors or donors to contribute $30,000, Sandy could quit her day job and be at the theatre full time.”

Those interested in finding out more about how they can contribute to one of Central Oregon’s vibrant performing arts nonprofits can contact Thoma at thomamaralyn@gmail.com or Kline at 2ndstreettheater@gmail.com.

nd Street Theater founder, Maralyn Thoma, says the theatre needs your help. The entirely volunteer run nonprofit, Stage Right Productions, wants to continue producing engaging, hilarious and dramatic theatre productions at their theatre, but needs to get Central Oregonians involved.

“There’s a general misconception in the community that I’m still running and financially supporting the theatre,” commented former 2nd Street Theater owner and current advisor, Thoma who currently owns the building the theatre is housed in.

“The fact is, I almost closed the doors in 2009 after my divorce…and I knew I couldn’t run the theatre by myself. My son and his wife, Greg Thoma and Sandy Kline, came to me and begged me not to close the theatre and offered to take over managing it,” she explained.

The couple decided that forming a nonprofit was the best way to keep the doors open and Stage Right Productions was created. “They have been doing a wonderful job of filling the stage with plays and musicals that people have loved, and our audience demographic has grown quite a bit younger,” Thoma continued.

Stage Right Productions has produced popular shows including Menopause the Musical, the longest running sold-out show in Central Oregon history according to Thoma, Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar, Odd Couple - female and male versions, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf, Same Time Next Year and the cult classic, Evil Dead, the Musical.

“We had some great supporters when we opened in 2001, but after the first year we were buying the building it [made more sense for us to be a for-profit operation],” Thoma explained. “Supporters disappeared because we didn’t have the non-profit status anymore.”

Now that the theatre is a nonprofit again, they need help in funding their operations and would love to be able to pay Kline a small salary for all she is doing for the organization. “Sandy is killing herself trying to do everything by herself, she has great volunteers, but she can’t do it all alone…I just want to get the word out, this is such a good organization, and we

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a 1975 musical comedy horror film directed by Jim Sharman. The screenplay was written by Sharman and Richard O’Brien based on the 1973 musical stage production, The Rocky Horror

unriver STARS Community Theater has scheduled its season opener for October 24-26 at the SHARC. This play is an exciting murder mystery called Murder’s In The Heir. It was inspired by the board game, CLUE. This is a who dun it? that involves audience participation. Toward the end of the show the audience votes on the killer. The majority vote determines the ending, which could be different with each performance.

“We expect this to be a lot of fun for the audience, as well as the cast and crew,” said STARS Founder Victoria Kristy. “This will be the eighth production for our Sunriver family, and we are excited to continue to grow and make each production even better than the last.

“Please join us and help decide, did the butler do it with the wrench? Or did the cook do it with the knife? Or, could it have been one of a small group of other potential suspects and weapons? Only you will decide.”

F

rom writers of Weird Science, The Simpsons, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Desperate Housewives with music by Dan Studney and lyrics by Kevin Murphy, Reefer Madness comes to 2nd Street Theater. The play will be directed by Tom Atkinson and Nancy Scher, musical direction by Rick Buckley.

2nd Street Theater/Stage Right Productions present Reefer Madness the Musical, a raucous, tongue-in-cheek musical comedy inspired by the 1936 propaganda film which looks at the hysteria caused when clean-cut kids fall prey to marijuana, leading them on a hysterical downward spiral filled with evil jazz music, sex and violence.

Reefer Madness The Musical follows teen Jimmy Harper (played by Ethan Antram) who meets dope peddler Jack (Tommy Kuchulis) at the neighborhood Five and Dime and is lured away to the local reefer den and soon forgets about his innocent sweetheart, Mary Lane (Rebekka Swan).

The message about the extreme and startling behaviors caused by smoking the Green Menace are relayed to the parents (aka audience members) by the Lecturer (Richard Mueller).

The musical numbers range from big Broadway-style showstoppers to swing tunes like Down at the Ol’ Five and Dime and the Vegas-style Listen to Jesus, Jimmy featuring J.C. Himself leading a chorus of showgirl angels.

“Audiences should expect to get a lot of laughs, but sometimes

with that “I shouldn’t be laughing at this” feeling,” says Atkinson. “The musical script is brilliant not just because of its clever wordplay—Jesus sings, ‘I’m the face on the Shroud of Turin.

Panic at Cascades Theatrical Company

A

Paris hotel room in 1963: a famous American movie director is being interviewed by a French critic who, due to his history of harsh criticism, is generally not well liked by the film community. The relationship between these two, however, is surprisingly amicable. Or at least, it appears to be. A loyal but infirmed wife, a strong and loyal secretary, a mysterious woman, a serious accusation, a letter opener. You do the math.

Panic is directed by Shakespearian actor Liam O’Sruitheain, who starred in Angel Street and directed The Game’s Afoot last season. He is assisted by Erica Boismenu. The play stars Tracy James Anderson, Patricia West-Del Ruth, Skye Stafford, Will Futterman and Tori Miller.

Panic opens October 10 and runs through October 25. Tickets can easily be purchased online with no fees at cascadestheatrical.org, or by phoning the box office at 541-3890803. Adults $20, seniors (60+) $16 and students $13. October 9 is preview night, where theatre-goers can watch the final dress rehearsal for $10, paid at the door. All performances begin at 7:30pm.

The next show in Cascades Theatrical Company’s Main Stage lineup is Humbug. Auditions will be held at CTC on Monday and Tuesday, October 20 and 21 at 7pm. The requirements are six women, five men, and one young actor to play a nine-year-old boy.

Humbug runs December 5 through December 20.

A special Halloween treat is the All Aspects Teen Theatre production of William Shakespeare’s Land of the Dead: The True and Accurate Account of the 1599 Zombie Plague. Students produce and star in this spooky and cleverly-written show that runs October 30 through November 2. Tickets for this event are frighteningly cheap at $8.

Zombies wanted.

Lisa Belt Building a Career in Photography

A

budding local photographer has found early success with an exhibit in the Cooley Art Gallery in Sisters and recognition from National Geographic since beginning her photography business in October 2013. Belt was also accepted into the very prestigious juried Sunriver Art Faire that occurred recently.

Belt’s creative energy was framed more than two decades ago working in the film industry. In 1989, she moved from North Hollywood, California to Bend after working in the motion picture industry for Amblin Entertainment and Steven Spielberg.

She can boast film credits on Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Empire of the Sun. “As seemingly notable as that was, my love has always been found in the outdoors spending time with friends and family camping, fishing, hunting, hiking and of course taking pictures,” says Belt.

In 1999, she produced a nationwide television show on The Outdoor Channel called Get Out There, a hunting and fishing show highlighting the Northwest. “I loved traveling and filming the natural landscapes and wildlife of Oregon,” reports Belt. She then produced a regional television show in 2009 called Point Blank with Andy Andrews, a television show that confronted controversial issues.

“In November 2013 I was privileged to meet Gary and Karen Cooley who have an exquisite art gallery called Gary Cooley’s The Collection Gallery in Sisters. Gary Cooley is a world renown sculptor with artwork worldwide. Last May the Cooley’s in-

vited me to display my photography in their gallery. I am so proud and honored to be included with such incredible art and artists!”

In June this year her photograph Suspended taken at Smith Rock near Terrebonne was recognized and published on the National Geographic website Daily Dozen.

Over 12,000 photographs are submitted Suspended by Lisa Belt each day and 12 are picked for their Daily Dozen contest and published on their website. Suspended was one of the 12 chosen and published on June 22. This honor also offers the opportunity to possibly be chosen and published in their National Geographic magazine.

Back Road to Oregon, which Belt took last October, has become her signature picture. “The minute I saw this photo it evoked a tremendous feeling in me that it was time to take a new road in my life and pursue my love for photography,” explains Belt.

“The wonderful thing I find about photography and the many amazing photographers there are in the world is that you could have 10 photographers standing in the same spot and you would have 10 different photographs. We each have our own “eye” and perspective and I have learned in a very short time that we are not as competitive as we are appreciative of each others’ work.”

Film Fever in the High Desert BendFilm’s 11th Season Begins October 9

by RENEE PATRICK Cascade A&E Editor

C

entral Oregon loves BendFilm. As over 100 filmmakers make their way to the high desert, the venues ready the popcorn and the public pours over the festival schedule, the excitement is palpable.

With the goal of elevating the art of filmmaking and their connection to Central Oregon, this year BendFilm has increased their outreach to include screenings at Warm Springs Reservation.

“I know for a fact that there is filmmaking going on in Central Oregon [outside Bend]…and it seemed natural to expand the programming,” said Todd Looby, BendFilm’s new director. “We have the biggest film fest in the area and we want to be a film promotional organization [in addition to] a film celebration hub.”

ervation and the struggle between his modern self and the quest to face his inner Native American. “The short film was entirely written for and shot on the reservation of Warm Springs. Growing up there 18 years of my life I felt it was only right to create my film based around my hometown,” explained Katchia.

Awakening by LaRonn Katchia

“Seeing that there aren’t many Native American directors out there or any actually filming in Warm Springs, I felt it was a prime opportunity…. One of my dreams is to bring more native films to the cinema and now that I have an opportunity to show it in my hometown in a proper venue it is one of the most amazing feelings. It is definitely the first step in getting Native films out there.”

The feature narrative shown after Katchia’s short, Winter in the Blood, is also a tale about life on a reservation. The Sherman Alexie-produced film (Alexie is a poet, writer and filmmaker that draws on his experiences as a Native American with ancestry of several tribes, growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation) is based on James Welch’s book by the same name.

The collaboration with Warm “Awakening was entirely written for and shot Springs was spearheaded by BendFilm Board Member Juli Hamdan, on the reservation of Warm Springs. Growing but was solidified at an Arts & Culture Alliance meeting, of which up there 18 years of my life I felt it was both the Warm Springs Museum only right to create my film based around and BendFilm are members. “The ACA has as its core the desire of my hometown,” explained Warm Spring the membership to bring diverse Filmmaker LaRonn Katchia. arts organizations together to create opportunities for all communities in Central Oregon to participate in the arts,” explained Warm Springs Brothers Andrew and Alex Smith produced and directed the movie Museum Executive Director Carol Leone. which traces the journey of a man returning to his home on a Montana reservation to confront his ex-wife and come to terms with the loss of “The Bend Film Festival is a fantastic event and their willingness to reach his brother. out to Warm Springs will encourage potential young Warm Springs film makers,” Leone continued.

“I was thrilled to learn that BendFilm scheduled a screening at Warm Springs Reservation as the film features a Northwest tribe taking a leading role in the successful campaign to remove the Elwha River Dams,” said Jessica Plumb, producer and co-director for the documentary.

Advocacy by the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe was critical to this unprecedented restoration project, the largest dam removal in history.

“I hope that viewers will be empowered by this film, and consider ways to impact decisions that affect their own community.

Return of the River is a film infused with hope, a success story for environmental and cultural restoration,” she explained.

Community engagement is an important part of Looby’s expanding vision for the festival. “I am continually in awe at how strongly Central Oregon supports BendFilm,” he said. “With this kind of support, this festival has the potential to do even more amazing things in Central Oregon and in the national independent film scene.

“The program is just so good that if the films are running and people are able to buy tickets it will be a success, but I want it to be really fun on top of that. Our logo says a Celebration of Independent Cinema so I want to take that part literally!”

Looby exclaimed.

Return of the River, showing at the Warm Springs school on Friday, October 10, is a narrative with global ramifications, exploring the complex relationship between communities and the environment that sustains them in the form of dam removal on the Elwha River on the Olympic Peninsula.

The Winding Stream opens the BendFilm Festival on Thursday, October 9

New to BendFilm this Year Childcare: For parents of young children who would like an affordable way to attend BendFilm on Thursday and Friday nights, October 9 and 10, BendFilm is offering child care through the Bend Montessori School. Tickets are $25 for four hours for up to three children and can be purchased online.

Business for BendFilm & Indie Women Inspired by Pamela Hulse Andrew’s successful campaign, Indie Women for Indie Film where local women each donated $100 to fund several BendFilm awards, comes Business for BendFilm. Ben Perle, BendFilm advisory board member and general manager of The Oxford, has crowdsourced local businesses to each contribute $100 towards awards. “The goal was to mimic what Pamela had started with Indie Women, we’ve raised close to close to $7,000 so far,” commented Perle. “The responses from businesses has been very positive. Everyone thinks BendFilm is good for the community and good for the arts.”

Ticketing A new ticketing system is in place through www. bendticket.com. “It’s a really slick system,” Looby mentioned. “Films showing at Tin Pan Theater will be rush tickets only, we won’t have presales to avoid over-sales, and we ask that people get in line 20 minutes before the show and come out to the parties! It’s going to be a blast.”

OPENING NIGHT IN BEND Celebrating independent cinema will be a cinch over the four-day festival; the opening night viewing of The Winding Stream, a film tracing the ebb and flow of the Carter family dynasty’s influence on American country music, will begin with a CarterCash infused musical set by Portland singer, Jen Smieja, followed by a party at The Oxford, and a late night bash for those midnight-owls.

Friday, October 10 will bring a full day of movies and a party at Hola! Saturday the public is invited to a Meet the Filmmakers event at the Drake with the awards party at the Mountain Room in the Deschutes Brewery.

Two new venues have been added this year: the Old Stone Church and the Volcanic Theater Pub replace The Oxford and CTC as they had prior engagements, and new midnight screenings will be available this year.

“One thing that we’ve talked about when we signed with the Volcanic Theater is that they want an eclectic programming, so I approached them and the Tin Pan Theater to extend their days till midnight so we have a really awesome shorts block with some crazy stuff and two narrative features that are hilarious and irreverent,” Looby said.

Long term he would love to expand their year-round programming to include monthly films to keep the enthusiasm for the festival high. “There’s a lot of little film things that go on in town, and I would like to get involved with that to help promote those films and use our brand to excite people. This is a town that celebrates independent film…We have a lot of assets to be the hub of the filmmaking network, definitely in Bend and then in Central Oregon.”

All of the galleries/businesses listed in this section will be open for First Friday Art Walk, October 3 in Bend from 5-8pm. (Red Chair is 4:30-8:30pm) Art in the Atrium Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Ave. Celebrates First Friday with works by Central Oregon Community College students Kathleen Cooper, Sam Fisch and Ann Switzer, courtesy of William Hoppe, professor.

Cooper, as a result of many career testing exams favoring fine art, began her art studies at COCC in 2007 with Professor Bill Hoppe in both 2-D and 3-D design. Enthusiasm soon replaced doubt, and she continued studies in color design and drawing. Landform Series by Kathleen Cooper By 2010, she began to paint and her featured image for the October exhibition arises from her Landform Series. It depicts her non-objective response to childhood memories of the Oregon Coast Range, imagined from an unseen aerial perspective, inspired by topographical maps. Fisch graduated with high honors from COCC in spring 2013 with an associate of arts. He transferred to the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a merit Vishnu in Black and White by Sam Fisch scholarship and his featured art for the exhibit includes a depiction of the Chicago skyline at night with superimposed, over-scale images of Jazz musicians. Switzer began her focused pursuit of art at CCOC six years ago with enrollment in Painting I with Hoppe. Hoppe’s “gentle prodding and encouragement” inspired her to become more creative on canvas as her painting skills advanced. The artist reflects that she gleaned painting information not only from the noted artists’ work, but also her classmates’ work. Her work for the exhibition, painted in a flat perspective with a riotous color and imagery, depicts scenes from the interior of her childhood home.

in numerous group shows and has won several awards. Mary was also invited to show her work at the Florence Biennale in Florence Italy in 2007.

Mockingbird Gallery 869 NW Wall St., 541-388-2107, www.mockingbird-gallery.com Dan Chen and William Pickerd, both Willamette Valley artists, come together once again on First Friday with Nature’s Magic and will feature alabaster vessels and bronze wildlife sculptures. Collaborative pieces such as an alabaster vessel with a bronze finial of sea horses will also be featured. Met the artists, enjoy a glass of wine and listen to the jazz sounds of Rich Hurdle and Friends.

Chen’s professional career focuses on nature and wildlife art in both painting and sculpture. His experience with both Eastern and Western methods of creating artwork has led to a truly unique expression of color, light and energy.

Pickerd is a woodworker-turned-sculptor who uses a lathe to transform chunks of alabaster and wood into vessel shapes. The translucent stone responds well to his tools and yields a form that can be both earthy and elegant.

Art at the Oxford Oxford Hotel, 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Presenting photography by Charles Cockburn with the artist present. Local photographer Cockburn grew up traversing the Oregon wilderness on many family adventures. These childhood outings sparked his love for the outdoors and ignited his passion for exploring nature’s beauty through photography. The artist enjoys venturing to Deschutes River by Charles Cockburn remote and unique locations, photographing scenic landscapes from a fresh perspective.

For Cockburn, the photography experience involves more than just sight. It’s about engaging all of the senses and he desires to compose an image to capture as many senses as possible. He strives to create the feeling of experiencing the scene and thus to invoke emotion in the viewing of his image.

The exhibit continues through October 24 in the lobby of the Oxford, open all hours. Billye Turner, art consultant, curates art displays for The Oxford Hotel lobby with additional information at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

Paul Scott Gallery 869 NW Wall St., Ste. 104, 541-330-6000, www.paulscottfineart.com Featuring Toni Doilney and Morgan Madison.

Doilney: A painter who consistently creates powerful works where she combines vertical and horizontal grid lines on canvas, combing them with mountains, fields and towns with a strong use of color to create unique impressions.

Madison: Morgan’s intricate designs and his use of color and materials showcase him as a masterful contemporary kiln formed glass artist.

October by Toni Doilney Piacentini Book Arts Studio & Gallery 2146 NE Ave., Ste 140, 541-633-7055, www.PiacentiniStudios.com Kigo is a Japanese term for “season words.” These words can be as obvious as autumn, or as subtle as harvest, pumpkin or leaves. For an artist, kigo might be an observable palette of color, a vocabulary of marks--a distant memory or experience. Celebrate autumn at Piacentini Book Arts Studio and Gallery. First Friday opens with KIGO-SEASONS which combines seasons in art and poetry and the delicate thread that links them.

Plateau Series III by Gin Laughery

Presenting the work of North Coast Printmaker, Gin Laughery, who will attend First Friday opening. Gin’s monotypes connect viewers to “suggestions of place and mood, reflections that create a dramatic interplay of land and sky; her kigo--vermillion, sanguine, gold, russet, violet, ultramarine, sage, apricot, orange and wheat. Smoke appears to move across the paper, yet is held in suspension.”

A moment in time, captured. Linda Piacentini-Yaple uses calligraphic marks and textures as kigo to unite art and poetry--a combination of empty space and monochromatic strokes suggest the intangible; sometimes a color or word appears--expressive and alive.

Haiku integrates “season words” into poetry, seizes an experience or thought observed in the everyday world and juxtaposes images or ideas. Bend’s One Breath Poet’s, a group of Haiku poets who meet once a month at the Deschutes Library, will release Plateau Series X by their first book of haiku. Poets will read selections beginning at Gin Laughery 5:30pm. Copies of the hand-bound book will be available for purchase in the annex at the gallery.

Piacentini Book Arts Studio and Gallery is a one-of-a-kind bookmaking studio seeking to advance the emerging art of the book in Central Oregon through exhibits, small workshops and community partnership.

Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176, www.redchairgaller ybend.com Falling into Art featuring three local artists: Eleanor Murphey, Kim McClain and Denise Harrison. Murphey’s pots are her canvas, beautiful paintings glazed on elegant stoneware pottery.

Eleanor’s work is reminiscent of the early 20th century pottery, but her Painting by Kim McClain Pottery by Eleanor Murphey techniques and designs are more contemporary than that of the Arts & Crafts period, yet still hold to the philosophy of utilitarian objects being beautiful as well as functional. Eleanor has been a professional potter for 38 years.

McClain captures the spirit of her subject thru color, emotion, line and texture. She uses watercolor, acrylic, gouache and collage to create paintings that evolve and go through many transformations to reflect an element of spirituality and connection. With a background in nursing and the healing arts, Kim views paintings as a step in her healing journey. She also makes heartfelt cards with the image and collective wisdom that Ring by Denise Harrison is a meditation to her.

Harrison starts with a photograph or drawing and used a multi-step process which includes creating etch plates in copper and lost wax casting in sterling silver and other precious metals. Denise creates jewelry with intriguing textures and hidden meanings.

Her photographs come from a wide variety of sources including beer lacing, architecture, nature and even pets and fingerprints.

Sage Custom Framing 834 NW Brooks St., 541-382-5884, www.sageframing-gallery.com Featured artist for October Marieclaire van Dam, A Mixed Media Collection. Works done in oil, collage, calligraphy and watercolor, and from abstract to representa-

tional will make up the show. Marieclaire was born and raised in the Netherlands. She had a successful career as a fashion model, working for both Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Lauren.

She moved to the United States at the age of 36 and this is when her passion for art began. She loves mixing mediums. She combines her lettering art, collage and painting to make her own style of art.

Tumalo Art Company 450 SW Powerhouse Dr., Ste. 407, 541-385-9144, www.tumaloartco.com Tracy Leagjeld show of new monotypes opens at Tumalo Art Co. First Friday. Tracy’s monotypes are her way of communicating her love and reverence for nature. “Forests, meadows and deserts all have a different kind of energy. I am not as concerned with capturing correct shape and color, as with capturing an expression of what I’m experiencing. I strive to create paintings that allow the viewer to put themselves into the painting and feel the spirit of the place.”

Tracy has perfected her process of creating monotypes, using rollers to build up the images layer by layer, before Broken Spring by Tracy Leagjeld transferring to paper or board.

A life-long Bendite, Tracy now lives in Portland, where she paints city and oceanscapes as well as images of the Central Oregon landscape she loves.

Pronghorn Resort Gary Vincent October 6 thru November 9. Vincent’s Vishnu in Black and White illustrates his non-objective art that begins with choosing a palette, often black and ivory, and essentially making marks in black on the blank canvas. He finds that a pattern begins to emerge from the negative ivory shapes formed by the background. Continuing, the black marks define the pattern and the phenomenon of the optical shift between the light and dark values becomes integral in defining the design. As the painting continues, the hues shift in prominence and a final harmony arises that defines the composition. The artist observes that the creative process is highly intuitive, counter-balanced Vishnu in Black and White by the logical mind seeking to define the imagery, an interactive ex- by Gary Vincent change between conscious thought and intuition. He also states that non-objective art is hence a constant exploration into the unknown, trusting the intuitive. Vincent concludes that “Art is from the Heart or it isn’t Art.” Billye Turner organizes the Pronghorn exhibits with info at 503-780-2828 or billyeturner@bendnet.com.

conceptualized as a way to record the prayers of the path itself before the original trail is completely lost.

The Mani Wheel at Kailash

end-based artist Aaron Lish has just completed a new art intervention by hiking approximately 42 kilometers around Mt. Kailash at 19,000 feet in western Tibet. Throughout the trek Lish pushed and pulled a cylinder, which looks much like a device used to prepare the ground for laying pavers on a path or patio. The cylinder was designed to record the trail’s prayers as it rolled over the ground.

Soles Paving the Way was

Lish gets help from a young man

Lish, who has completed projects for Mobius in Boston, Art in the Open in Philadelphia, Mercury Bay Art Escape in New Zealand, and the Caetani Centre in Vernon, B.C, is currently an artist-in-residence at the Shangyuan Art Museum in Beijing, China.

According to Lish, the project in Tibet has been a coming together of all his life experiences and interests, all synthesized into one new event. Mt. Kailash, considered by billions of people to be the holy center of the universe, was, until recently, visited by only a few thousand pilgrims a year. However, improved infrastructure in western Tibet has allowed more and more people to reach the mountain. With 2014 being the Year of the Horse, the most auspicious year of the zodiac to circle the mountain, over 60,000 pilgrims were anticipated to make the journey before

the winter snows blow in November.

The trail around Kailash is the result of humans treading over the same ground going back to pre-history - a wearing away of the earth by millions of foot-falls on the land as Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and Bon all circumambulate the mountain on their sacred quests.

The Mani Project - A Million Soles Paving the Way was conceptualized as a way to record the prayers of the path itself before the original trail is completely lost resurfaced and replaced by a proper road around the mountain (which is already under construction on the eastern end of the loop). There are rumors that Guofeng, a Beijing-based company is also working on plans for an elevated tram around Kailash, possibly eliminating the need for a trail, or road, altogether.

“The Mani Project was a way for the trail to share its last wishes,” says Lish. Video documentation of the project shows clips of Lish, together with his Mani Wheel, being passed by a Toyota SUV, walking through “jungles” of prayer flags, hiking along a section of newly constructed trail reminiscent of a raised Roman stone road while surrounded by Tibetan pilgrims, descending a badly eroded hillside braided by different paths and being helped down the trail by a young Tibetan boy.

The video and the Mani Wheel, Lish’s device that recorded the trail’s prayers, will be on display as part of the upcoming 2014 International Artist Exhibition at the Shangyuan Art Museum, October 1-9. Visitors to the show will be invited to push the Mani Wheel around the exhibition hall, sharing the trail’s prayers with the world.

Painting by Chuck Chamberlain

Artists’ Gallery at Sunriver

F

all is such a beautiful time of the year in Sunriver. The pace slows a bit and the afternoon light is beautiful as it shines though the boughs of the pine trees.

It is a good time to reflect on all that is good about Central Oregon. This month the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver will focus on Love, Hope, Cure as the artists bring attention to cancer awareness.

There will be much fun and laughter at the Second Saturday Artists Celebration, October 11, 4-6pm and all art lovers need to come to the gallery and enjoy art, beverages and food.

Cutthroat by Patrick Windsor While you are noshing on something good, you can spend a moment chatting with one of the gallery’s featured artists, Chuck Chamberlain. Chamberlain’s incredible oil paintings never cease to amaze viewers. The artist is able to capture the very atmosphere of a scene when he paints one of his popular landscapes. Using a subtle combination of color and technique, he produces an end product that is much more than the individual components of the composition. In one of his more recent paintings depicting snow capped mountains, the light is golden as it warms the mountains.

Photographer Patrick Windsor is also featuring beautiful work that expresses the beauty of the outdoors. Many visitors to the gallery must stop and ponder just how it is that Windsor is able to cap-

ture some of the images in his work. One of these images is of a Cutthroat Trout with a fly hooked in his mouth. Fortunately, the artist is also a fishing guide here in the Central Oregon area so he is able to use all of his skills while setting up this shot. Now in most “fish pictures,” the fish is gasping outside of the water while posing for his photo. Not so with Windsor’s Trout portrait. He first hooks the fish on the line, and then photographs it under the water.

When you are here at the galley for the Second Saturday event, you can have Patrick explain to you exactly how he accomplishes this feat.

The beauty of fall is also an inspiration for gourd artist Susan Harkness Williams. Of course, just about everything seems to be an inspiration to this artist. Her gourd art pieces vary in size, colors and theme based upon her current influence. Some of her most popular pieces during the summer depict Sunriver birds and small wildlife. There are the most delicate carvings of Quail families moving around the outside of one piece. On others, crows fly and frolic.

Harkness Williams utilizes a variety of textures and colors to make her pieces lively. She has really captured the essence of fall with several new delicately carved pieces that appear to be real leaves. One of the pieces is apply titled, I’ll Remember September.

Abstractions Exhibit at Sunriver Resort

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery presents Abstractions featuring non-objective art by Pam Jersey Bird and Justyn Livingston. The exhibition opens on October 10 and continues through November 9.

Pam Jersey Bird lives among pine needles, aspens, rocks, wild flowers, Wychus Creek and natural inspiration. This, combined with observation of seasonal changes in the forest, the Three Sisters Mountains, the light, snow and ice, coyotes and birds, informs her abstract acrylic paintings. Interpreted non-objectively from this natural abundance, she fills her paintings with color, movement, texture and joy. The artist also credits the influence of the abstract expressionists.

An award winning artist, Bird’s art appeared in juried exhibitions in California, Washington and Oregon. A signature member of the International Society of Acrylic Painters, she is a former New York City art instructor and museum educator.

Justyn Livingston notes that experimentation was the household norm with a painter/printmaker mother and a neuroscientist father. She learned early from her

Secrets in the Wind by Pam Jesery Bird

Recently from Michigan, the slender lined desk chair and ancient English carved oak chair have been recaned. The English chair seat frame had to be reconstructed with epoxy and screws as it had been converted from hand woven to machine woven cane.

This means that over the holes already drilled through the chair frame a channel was routed removing half of the wood causing the frame to break. Now sturdy, all is well. Karen has hand woven the maple dining chair seat for many more years of comfortable service.

Redwood National Park painting in progress

his year marks the 12th annual print giveaway, an event that has become an anticipated weekend for Clearwater Gallery and the Central Oregon community. Clearwater gallery owners Dan and Julia Rickards have carried out a Sisters Harvest Faire tradition of offering complimentary signed and numbered fine art prints that began as a Cascade Range series, displaying a variety of landscapes featuring our mountain ranges and well-known destinations around Central Oregon.

Last year Dan transitioned into his National Park collection, debuting his explorations with the breathtaking slice of Yosemite, Unfolding Light. This year’s continuation of the series will feature a glimpse of the highly acclaimed Redwood National Park, established in 1968.

When Dan and Julia ventured to the Redwoods this past July, the serenity and towering stature of the miles of ancient trees is an experience that Rickards seeks to capture in this year’s release. Rickards explains, “My mission is to represent the parks to the best of my ability. To paint realism in a way that is inspiring but yet highly representational of people’s own experiences; bringing them back to the moment when they were there.”

This year’s print giveaway will take place Saturday, October 11 at 10am. The Rickards will be at Clearwater Gallery signing the first 150 complimentary prints. Dan and Julia Rickards Attend this annual event and learn more about the vision and passion behind the National Park collection.

Artful Dotage: Two Old Broads & Their Art

L

ocal artists Shandel Gamer and Jill L. Tucker present a two-woman show titled Artful Dotage: Two Old Broads and Their Art through December, at St. Charles Hospital—Redmond, 1253 NW Canal Blvd.

Shandel Gamer, Pastel, Mixed Media, Photography Shandel Gamer can’t remember a time when she wasn’t drawing or painting.

Her serious interest in art began in high school. There, she began to develop her own style of pastel portrait painting. After sustaining a serious hand and wrist injury, Gamer discovered that she could no longer paint as she had prior to the injury. Having to learn to paint again became the catalyst for Gamer’s transformation into a wildlife artist. In 2013, Gamer began a series of mixed media pieces which combine non-traditional colors with traditional wildlife images.

In 2014, Gamer began entering her photography in regional juried shows and was thrilled to have her image accepted.

Jill L. Tucker, Photography Jill Tucker is a retired adult education teacher and adjunct community college instructor who came to Central Oregon in 2011 with her six cats in tow. An eventful road trip! Jill’s days are spent reading, feeding her birds and associated mice, working as a volunteer on the Friends of the Redmond Library Art Committee and, most importantly, taking photographs. Having taken up the camera after she retired, Jill has become a talented photographer with a unique vision of her own. Jill exhibits her photographs throughout Central Oregon.

Juniper Brewing Company

Presents Oregon in Focus

J

uniper Brewing Company of Redmond presents Oregon in Focus, a two person exhibition of photography by Gary Wing and Linda Ziegenhagen through November 7 in the brewery’s taproom.

Gary Wing grew up in western Montana, and it was there in the Rocky Mountains he developed a love of the outdoors, either hiking or riding his horse in the mountains behind his house. Moving to Redmond in 1959 and graduating from Redmond Union High School in 1964, he developed a passion for the desert country and the Cascade Range.

After graduating from OSU, Wing had a career as a biologist and also worked as a ranch manager. Retiring in 2011, he returned to his passion for photography, which he had begun in the 70’s, but could never find time for. He combines his photography work with his wood working skills and produces all his own wood frames.

Linda Ziegenhagen retired in 1999 after a 30 year teaching career with the Redmond School District, and suddenly had time to pursue her interest in creating pictures.

With the purchase of a digital camera, she now had a new affordable medium with which

Smith Rock with Grey Butte by Linda Ziegenhagen

to share her views of the world and allowed her to become more involved with photography. For Ziegenhagen, learning is on-going and she was energized by COCC classes and by memberships in the CCC and SAPC photography groups.

One of the newest breweries in Redmond, Juniper Brewing Company was inspired by a passion for brewing great craft beer. Co-owners Curt Endicott and Scott Lesmeister have pledged to consistently offer the “highest quality ales to the growing populous of enlightened consumers.” The Juniper tree silhouetted on their logo is an ancient beast that stands out front of their initial brewing location and long ago was given the name Old Roy. Their IPA, with the same name, is an honorary tribute to this tree for standing the test of time.

Located at 1950 SW Badger Ave., Suite 103, Redmond, Juniper Brewing Company presently offers six beers on tap which include Old Roy IPA, Jolly Black, The Milkman Wit, Crooked Cream and some rotating taps of their other fine ales. Brews are presently available in pints and growlers.

The Porch: Crazy Good Comfort Food

by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop & Oregon LocalGetways

T

hey had me at the truffle parmesan fries.

One of my writing coach clients, a Sisters resident, told me about The Porch. “It’s our favorite place.” After dinner there I understood why.

Some restaurants are like a carefully composed symphony, with dishes that build on each other. The Porch is more like a jazz riff, with a creative, international approach to comfort food served in a charming, rustic, cottage setting that’s as playful as the food.

In addition to the divine aforementioned truffle fries dusted with shavings of parmesan, our shared plates kicked off with a serving of corn fritters featuring creamy interiors and crunchy exteriors drizzled with Sriracha mayonnaise. The corn tasted so fresh that they must have picked and shucked the corn cobs that same day.

Salads followed. The Orange Caesar Salad, served with Mandarin Oranges and a tasty, crunchy filo black-pepper crouton, didn’t quite have enough zip or anchovy taste for me, but I loved the Strawberry Salad with its organic mixed greens, fresh strawberries, creamy goat cheese and candied pecans. “I like this ballet of texture,” my brother Jeff announced. I had worried that the salad would be sweet, but the emulsified strawberry vinaigrette balanced fruit and tartness wonderfully.

Mountain Raspberry BBQ Ribs accompanied by Southern Broccoli Slaw got our main courses under way. People often talk about meat that’s fall-off-the-bone tender. That’s not just talk at The Porch. The pork actually slid off the bone and onto my plate as I served myself. “This is how a rib should be,” announced my friend and trainer Scott Lemon. “Tender, moist with a wonderful outside char.” I also loved the faintly sweet Mountain Raspberry Sauce made with freshly-picked wild raspberries. “We work closely with forgers and farmers,” said co-owner Jon Hosler. That clearly makes a world of difference when it comes to taste.

The menu at The Porch changes about every two months. September’s empanadas featured Chicken Teriyaki, grilled pineapple and green onions—they were topped with a soy reduction and served on a bed of Napa cabbage slaw with

The Porch’s Orange Caesar Salad

chili paste dressing.

“There’s always some kind of empanada on the menu,” said Hosler. Past empanadas have included hot wings with blue cheese, chicken Cordon Bleu and one packed with Indian flavors. “There are no boundaries at The Porch,” Hosler added. “We just have fun.”

That explains the Chicken N Waffles served with sautéed spinach and herbed maple syrup. The juicy fried chicken’s breading had a lovely cayenne kick and risks being positively addictive. Personally, I would trade the waffles and syrup for smashed potatoes (which is an option), but a couple of my tablemates loved the fun, soul-food dish.

Since the restaurant’s menu will switch to mostly Italian dishes in October, something The Porch does twice a year, Jon and his mother Caryl Hosler, the restaurant’s chef and co-owner, sent out Chicken Piccata next. The chicken breast was moist and super lemony, and the generous portion of capers added a delectable hint of pickled saltiness. The accompanying rustic smashed potatoes were the ideal vehicle for the deliciously zesty sauce.

We ended the meal with downright perfect Almond Roca Crème Brulee (now there’s a winning combination if I ever heard one) and a chunky carrot cake whose recipe dates back to Caryl Hosler’s grandmother (who was Jon Hosler’s great grandmother). The topping of fresh whipped cream sweetened with just a hint of brown sugar put this not-overly sweet dessert right over the top.

The Porch opened in Sisters three years ago. “We’re a great little secret,” said Jon Hosler. I’m guessing that with a chef whose credits include cooking at Jen’s Garden for four years and winning (with TR McCrystal) the Iron Chef title at Bite of Bend, a menu that lives up to its “crazy good comfort food” billing, and a setting that’s as cute as it is homey, The Porch won’t be a secret for long.

ased on the success of the Cascade Horizons Senior Band, Cascade School of Music will be offering a new band program for adults who are either total beginners or who may have forgotten everything they once knew about playing a band instrument.

This class will follow the basic principles of Cascade Horizon Band, which are that anyone can learn to play an instrument and have fun playing in a supportive group setting. The band will be open to adults wanting to learn to play a woodwind or brass instrument, including the flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, French horn or baritone horn. No musical experience is required.

British Invasion Revisited at Tower Theatre Abbey Road & Jumping Jack Flash Perform on Friday, October 24

F

Fans must choose between Sir Mick Jagger leading the Stones through bluesy, soul rock or the Beatles trawling through their catalog of classics.

Since 2011, Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash have been going headto-head across the Western United States in casinos, clubs and performing arts centers. The show performed a three month residency earlier this year at the Harrah’s Reno showroom. The next stop is Harrah’s Laughlin for a long residency. The show in Bend is part of a 110 show tour of the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico.

The band members exchange tongue-in-cheek barbs about the rivalry between the bad boys of London and the lads from Liverpool. “In fact, the Beatles and the Stones were fast friends,” said Young Hutchison, who plays “Keith Richards” in the show. “But if you were a 60’s kid, you had to be one or other – not both.”

“It was Mick Jagger who inducted the Beatles into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” said Chris Paul Overall, who plays “Paul.”

Abbey Road promise a 30-song, hit-packed chronological set, opening with I Want To Hold Your Hand and the Beatlemania years, to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band, before building through the band’s “flower power” period. Jumping Jack Flash will perform three crowd-pleasing sets guaranteed to get even Beatles fans on their feet dancing.

Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Shoot Out performs October 24 at at 7:30pm. Tickets are $35 - $55, www.towertheatre.org, 541-317-0700 Photos courtesy of Tower Theatre

ebruary 15, 1964, News In Brief put it this way: “There are rumors abound that the [Beatles] are Britain’s revenge for the Boston Tea Party.”

In mid-December 1964, I Want to Hold Your Hand began playing on U.S. radio stations. When the Fab Four played The Ed Sullivan Show two months later, captivating 60 percent of the American viewing audience, the British Invasion had officially begun. Before you could say “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!” Beatlemania swept the country.

The world’s first boy band acted adorably goofy and good-natured in their radio and television interviews, especially during the first wave of Beatlemania. They Jumping Jack Flash also dropped the “roll” from rock ’n’ roll and replaced it with “pop,” combining for the first time rock and popular music in a unique fashion without losing rock’s primal, driving sound.

The Beatles were quickly followed by The Rolling Stones, who were perceived by the American public as a much more ‘edgy’ and even dangerous band. This image distinguished them from the Beatles, who had become more acceptable and parent-friendly. The Rolling Stones appealed more to an ‘outsider’ demographic and popularized, for young people at least, the rhythm and blues genre.

The Rolling Stones would become the biggest band other than The Beatles to come out of the British Invasion.

The British Invasion was one of the watershed developments in American popular music history and is credited with inspiring the free speech movement and countless other social changes. During this year’s 50th anniversary of the British Invasion, this raises a question which has fueled arguments since both bands were covering Chuck Berry songs. Who’s better? The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?

On Friday, October 24, Tower Theatre in Bend will host Beatles vs. Stones - A Musical Shoot Out with these two legendary bands engaging in an on-stage duel courtesy of renowned tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash.

The show consists of six alternating mini sets with both bands coming together on stage for an encore.

A

conventional string quartet Modern Mandolin Quartet features a violin, viola, bass and cello. Now, the tripleGrammy-nominated Modern Mandolin Quartet takes that musical form to a new level, using instruments of the mandolin family to perform classical and contemporary compositions from around the world. Saturday, November 1 at 7:30pm, two mandolins, a mandola and mandocello blaze new trails through classical, jazz, rock and folk music.

The chamber group of Matt Flinner, Dana Rath, Paul Binkley and Adam Roszkiewicz give a new voice to the venerable eight-stringed instrument, from Bach to Bluegrass, Bill Monroe to Amadeus Mozart.

The group, acclaimed by MandolinCafe.com for “exceptional playing, superb arrangements and spectacular material,” is one of the finest mandolin quartets of all time. Ray Solley, executive director of the Tower Theatre Foundation, adds, “These guys show why, with tuning the same as a violin, the mandolin deserves a place alongside the best chamber music ensembles.”

Bend Surgery Center is the title sponsor of the CenterStage Series. Showcase sponsor is Mt. View Heating, with supporting sponsors Deschutes Brewery and Central Oregon Radiology. Performance night sponsor is Drake Restaurant. The featured on-tap beer pairing for the night is Deschutes’ Hop Trip.

New Perspective for October by Eileen Lock

low down as this month begins and realize how important it is to pay attention to what you are doing. There is a tendency to move quickly, especially on the 4th as you can feel the new beginnings starting to manifest. You might be initiating endings of some type also now and it is important to take your time. The Full Moon on the 8th invites you to leave the past behind and start fresh. Make a list for yourself of all the things you want to do next and have faith in your ability to move forward.

Relationships from your past become more important after the 10th. Unexpected changes near the 11th could leave you with questions. Have a little faith and you will find yourself with more than enough answers by the 14th. Speak up and let those around you know what you need on the 16th. Remind yourself that you can ask for as much help as you need. Speak from the heart on the 17th and be ready for some pleasurable activity over the following few days.

Everything gets more emotional during the Full Moon on the 23rd. Let go and follow your heart especially on the 25th. It will be challenging to hide your feelings after the 26th so go ahead and be obvious. There is plenty of support and cooperation over the last few days so let yourself discover how amazing life can be when you let it.
