Deschutes Brewery’s 2015 Jubelale Wrapped Up in Art
Deschutes Brewery’s winter seasonal, Jubelale, will start showing up on shelves and tap handles this month to help herald in the cooler days of fall. Inside the bottle, fans will find the warm spiciness, dried fruit and a hoppy finish they’ve come to love. Outside the bottle, this year’s packaging features a detailed illustration by artist Taylor Rose featuring a wintery hiking scene along a trout-filled riverbank. Taylor said, “I wanted this illustration to be all about the beauty of adventuring on a cold snowy night. It’s called First Tracks First Cast because there’s nothing more special than fresh snow, cold waters and good company. I’m so honored to be amongst such a fantastic family of Jubelale artists.” Taylor Rose, who is now based in Bend, grew up in a small New Hampshire town and spent a childhood immersed in the nature that now inspires her art. In her work, she is constantly rediscovering her inner child to portray a world that beautifies nature and embraces the imagination process. The 2015 Jubelale artwork is no exception. A detailed portrayal of a couple and their dog walking along a snow covered trail, peering into a trout-filled river, captures the beauty and wonderment that the outdoors offer anytime of the year. She continued, “To create this piece I used a process of ‘pencil, ink, watercolor, digital.’ Everything starts with a pencil drawing, is then inked with

encore
a calligraphy brush, and lastly scanned into the computer to be painted digitally with high resolution scans of watercolor brushes/markings.” This year marks the 28th bottling of Jubelale, the first beer that Deschutes Brewery ever bottled. For the last 21 years, a different local artist has been chosen to create an original piece of art for the label.

SMART Art: Show, Sale, Social
Crook County Library Adds Zinio
MART, Start Making A Reader Today and Umpqua Bank present the fifth annual SMART Art: Show, Sale, Social on October 22, 5:30pm at Kendall Toyota on Third Street in Bend.
T
In 2014, nearly 100 people attended this fabulous event and had a wonderful time helping raise money to support SMART programs in Pre-K-third grade classrooms across Central Oregon. SMART Art is a family oriented, entertaining event including a children’s art contest sponsored by Cascade A&E. The event features displays of book inspired art pieces by children, raffles, a wine wall and live music provided by Lori Fletcher of Deco Moon Jazz. SMART Art is not only a fundraiser, but also a friend-raiser. For the past 23 years, SMART volunteers in Central Oregon have read with children at local elementary schools inspiring a love of reading and ultimately giving kids the support they need to read confidently and fluently by the third grade. This school year they are reading to children at several new school sites in Central Oregon, which means they will need upwards of 100 additional volunteers to provide this very important support to children. SMART Volunteers commit to one hour per week reading one-onone with children in local schools. Attendees of SMART Art will learn more about volunteering to read one hour a week with children in Central Oregon. “Volunteers who give the gift of their time are helping SMART realize the vision of an Oregon where every child can read and is empowered to

RSVP recommended 541-355-5600 or dturnbull@ getSMARToregon.org.

and encourage a love of reading. SMART has steadily grown to become Oregon’s largest volunteer literacy program. In the 2015-16 school year, in Central Oregon alone, they will serve nearly 700 children with the help of more than 400 community volunteers. Children in the program receive 14 new books throughout the school year to keep and read with their families. Together, with support from communities and schools around the state, SMART is improving the reading capacity of Oregon’s children. www.GetSMARToregon.org

n October 7 at 7pm the award-winning documentary Unbranded will screen at the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend and will feature a panel discussion including the producer Dennis Aig via Skype, with audience Q&A. It is a remarkable film that explores the critical issues of wild Mustang adoption and wilderness conservation in a story told straight from the saddle. This film is brought to you by local Bend residents who are passionate about community, wild places and wild creatures. All proceeds will be divided between Central Oregon Wild Horse Coalition and Equine Outreach, two local nonprofits that are deeply involved in local Central Oregon Mustang and horse rescue efforts. This visually stunning documentary follows an unprecedented 3,000-mile journey through the most pristine backcountry of the American West, as four friends ride horseback across an almost continuous stretch of public lands, border to border, from Mexico to Canada. But their trail horses are something special: the men adopt wild Mustangs from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. (BLM) There are 50,000 wild Mustangs
and burros in holding pens across the United States. We learn that these magnificent horses are perfectly adapted to the rocky terrain and harsh conditions of desert and mountain travel. They are also at the center of surprising, complex issues of rangeland management and wilderness conservation. Over a five-month journey, the animals become their riders’ transport, nemeses and eventual trusted companions as men and Mustangs traversed the immense landscapes of the American West. A meticulously planned but unpredictable route brings them face to face with snowpack, wildfire and raging rivers; sickness, injury and death. The men’s strength, courage, endurance and friendship are pushed to the brink. They experience a special camaraderie with each other and with the Mustangs, the magnificent natural scenery of the nation’s enduring wilderness and public lands and the not-so romantic lifestyle of a romanticized bygone era. As the view from the backs of these majestic wild horses reveals the spectacular public wilderness in our American backyard, we learn
that these same animals threaten the health of this ecosystem due to overpopulation. The appropriate management level for wild horse and burro populations in the United States is 26,684. Current population estimate: 49,209 (40,815 horses and 8,394 burros) according to the Bureau of Land Management. Without major predators, wild horses and burro populations can grow 20 percent annually and can double in size every four years. The only current methods of reducing numbers or slowing population growth is either adopting a wild horse or using birth control hormones on horses in the wild. The BLM gather excess horses by helicopter where they’re castrated, branded and shipped across the country to await an adopter. As of January 2015, 47,925 wild horses and burros are living in short term pens and long term pastures. www.unbrandedthef ilm.com. Tickets $10 at the Tower box off ice or www.towertheatre.org

BEAT & Summit High: A Fall of Roald Dahl
his Fall, two local theater programs, Summit High School and BEAT Quality Youth Theatre, are producing two Roald Dahl favorites – The Witches, and James and the Giant Peach! As the leaves change and you settle in to the colder and darker seasons, consider bringing your family to enjoy these creative and beautiful plays put on by young people, for young people. Of Roald Dahl, and The Witches, Lara Okamoto, Theatre Director of Summit High School says, “His stories are incredibly inventive, heart-warming, and yes, even dark. I appreciated that he didn’t hide tragedy away from his young readers, but rather embraced it and showed us how to overcome our more difficult times. Secondly, I love this story because of the lessons it teaches: facing our fears, overcoming great obstacles and how the

production was a surprise visit from B movie icon and star of The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness series and Burn Notice, Bruce Campbell. “It’s like The Rocky Horror for zombie flick fans,” says Managing Director Sandy Klein, “People shout out lines from the movies, dress up and stand in line for autographs from our hero at the end of the show.” On average, Evil Dead the Musical goes through about 65 gallons of fake blood per production. While much of the spray will be directed at the front row Splatter Zone, 2nd Street is small and there is no guarantee the rest of the audience won’t get doused. This year’s production features some of Central Oregon’s top talent including Ryan Klontz (Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables) as Ash, Tommy Kuchulis (Spamalot, Avenue Q) as Evil Ed and new to the 2nd Street stage is Stephanie Slade as
uncompromising love of family can bring us great happiness, even through the most difficult of misfortunes.” The Witches—presented by Summit High School—Witches don’t wear pointed hats, striped stockings and ride broomsticks. Real witches look just like everyone else, and there’s nothing that witches hate more than children! This is exactly what a young boy discovers when he accidentally finds himself in the midst of a secret meeting held by the Grand High Witch, and her heinous plan to rid the country of all children.

BendFilm Inspires & Enlightens for Another Season
by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer

endFilm, Central Oregon’s premiere and celebrated film festival, unveils the opening night feature with the full film line up, as well as pass and ticket sale details for the 12th annual festival taking place October 8-11. This year’s opening night film will be Breaking a Monster, which will screen at the Tower Theatre at 5pm on October 8. In this musical, coming-of-age documentary, Director Luke Meyer focuses on a band of 12-and 13-year-old musicians called Unlocking the Truth. The film chronicles the band’s journey to stardom as well as its childhood obstacles. This delightful and thoroughly entertaining film follows the boys as they first garner attention, playing on the streets of New York to Hollywood where they encounter the surreal music industry and reckon with their rock-star dreams. “It’s really the perfect opening film,” says BendFilm Director Todd Looby. “It is such an informative, fun ride the whole way through. The lovable characters work through the challenges of the music industry and it is incredibly engaging.” In competition for this year’s cash prizes are nine narrative features, nine documentary features and 41 shorts. The festival released the names of the films totaling 15 narratives, 16 documentaries and 50 shorts. Within this tremendous group of films, there are definitely some to look out for. In the documentary category is the film Frame by Frame, a beautiful reframing of Afghanistan directed by Alexandria Bombach, Mo Scarpelli. When the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, taking photos was a

crime. After the regime fell from power in 2001, a fledgling free press emerged and a photography revolution was born. Set in a modern Afghanistan bursting with color and character, Frame by Frame follows four Afghan photojournalists as they navigate an emerging and dangerous media landscape. The film is in Dari with English subtitles. Another piece that hits close to home is Songs my Brother Taught Me, written and directed by Chloe Zhao. This film is set on the Great Plains and the Badlands of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Songs my Brother Taught Me is a compelling and complex tale that explores the bond between a brother and his younger sister, who find themselves on separate paths to rediscovering the meaning of home. “We feel that this year’s line-up is the best in the history of the festival,” says Looby. “We are grateful for the interest and support in this regional

festival. Not only do we have a strong showing from the Northwest, but from across the country and internationally as well.” The amount of submissions has not only increased the tremendous amount of work the BendFilm staff has put into the festival, but has also brought in a larger audience than ever before. “New obstacles arise every year, but we have a staff that is always ready to take on a challenge. It keeps us on our toes, and we are happy to do it,” says Looby. “Even with three times the amount of submissions this year, we were able to give each film the proper consideration in order to build our fantastic program.” The prizes for filmmakers this year are sweetening the deal as well. Brooks Resources Corporation is sponsoring the $5,000 cash prize for Best of Show. Independent Women for Independent Film will sponsor additional $500 cash prizes in multiple categories, as will Jan and
Jody Ward and Business for BendFilm. Panavision has donated an impressive camera package worth $60,000 to go to the Best Narrative Feature. “We are looking to give the best experience as possible, for all of the filmmakers, as well as the audience,” Looby comments. “We are looking forward to the festival, as well as expanding our audience even further.” Tickets and festival passes are available to the general public at bendfilm.org. Sign ups are available for a membership to receive exclusive access to tickets. BendFilm is designed to support and nourish filmmakers and enrich the cultural life of Central Oregon. The BendFilm Festival runs every October in downtown Bend at The Oxford, McMenamins-Old St. Francis, Regal Cinemas, Tin Pan Theater, The Volcanic Theater, Cascades Theatrical Company, and the historic Tower Theatre. 541-388-3378, www.bendfilm.org

endFilm has become a regional darling, best known for its warm hospitality and high quality films. This year’s festival boasts an all-star line-up of jurors, who will be awarding $10,000 in cash prizes and a $60,000 Panavision camera package. Todd Looby says, “We want our jurors to see incredible films that they may have missed elsewhere. In doing so, we hope to further our filmmakers’ careers. We couldn’t be happier that they agreed to join us in celebrating these films, these filmmakers and our town.” The panel will arrive in Bend on the first day of the festival, Thursday, October 8 and in addition to judging the films, will participate throughout the festival as moderators for various panels and host filmmaker Q&A’s after screenings.

october 2 Art in the Atrium, Franklin Crossing 550 NW Franklin Art in the Atrium features Sandy Brooke’s Environmental Chaos, Fire and Water, thru November 1. Brooke notes that the paintings of her current exhibition are not landscapes but transformations of images of fires that polluted and destroyed picturesque rivers from Canada to Arkansas. Caused by the derailment and explosion of oil tankers transported by railway, the fires were impossible to extinguish and catastrophic. During a one-week period, televised media reported an unimaginable train wreck a day resulting from the fires. Media also showed live televised images as well as aerial photographs of a raging inferno. The artist recalls that powerful media images of burning trains and destruction became etched in her mind. She states that even a single visual moment of this intense devastation can create an alarming memory. The images in her present exhibit evolved from repeated, challenging visuals and resultant disturbing memories of the rivers on fire. Each of Brooke’s paintings holds a stilled moment of such potent memories, each canvas one frame in a sequence, each related to the other as a remembered panorama of furious fire. Holding a single motion or moment on a surface, each painting suspends time and, in sequence, brings these moments into the present. The combinations of line, image and ground create a virtual sense of space. According to Andrew Thurber, a scientist working in the Antarctic, “Artists help people appreciate environments that are out of the reach of the vast majority of the world’s populace.” Art, then, is more than an object but an extension of the viewer’s reality. In this instance, it is also a juxtaposition of inexorable horror with engaging beauty. Noi Thai serves wine and appetizers with jazz by special guests Georges Bouhey on drums, Jack Krouscup on piano and Warren Zaiger on bass.

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Mixed media paintings by Mary Medrano, thru November 1. Medrano notes that her paintings reveal her thoughts and emotions. Inspired by the natural world, she chooses birds as subjects finding that their unique personalities and behaviors lend them to interpretation. She employs these subjects to depict her concern for the environment. Though colorful and inviting, the images also artfully express the difficulty debris causes for birds, often ensnaring their feet. For her current series, she borrowed the shape of the Black-Eyed Junco, the California Quail and a few fictional birds to represent not only her concerns but her joy at living in Central Oregon. Medrano visually explores combinations of paint, textures, words and lines. The artist both applies and subtracts color, sands the surface, adds marks with graphite or ink, collages fabric and draws with oil pastels and colored pencils. In 2007 jurors (art critics and historians) selected her work for the prestigious Florence Biennale in Italy. The Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California also exhibited her art. She received a BFA from Western Michigan University as well as certification in graphic design and visual communications from UC Santa Cruz.

Kimmerling’s new work is devoted to the iconic symbolism of the crow—symbols of creation and spiritual strength, keepers of sacred laws, messengers and omens of change.

Stephanie Stanley retired early from her practice as a California trial attorney in order to explore weaving when she moved to Central Oregon. She feels weaving is almost a magical process when she takes the colored pieces of string and puts them on a loom to create beautiful cloth. She often dyes her own colors and uses beads and found objects to incorporate into her work but her primary focus is on the fiber which is intimate, protective, comforting and celebratory. The cloth can hide us or make us feel beautiful and announce our presence to the world. Helen Bommarito believes one’s daily life is enriched by using objects that are artistic and made by human hands. She creates one of a kind mugs, bowls, vases and even tea spoons using fine porcelain clay and decorates them with etched designs or hand drawn whimsical figures. Her inspiration may come from the complex simplicity of Japanese arts and philosophy, where a seemingly simple form or gesture is the distillation of much thought and experience. Beale Jones began her career as a portrait artist in California. When she moved to Bend she fell in love with the beauty of Central Oregon and the people. It was during this time that she found the beauty of handmade papers, which pulled her into the art of collage. Although, she considers herself primarily a printmaker, she also works in collage and mixed media. She works into some of her monoprint pieces with handmade paper, gold leaf and prism color.

Marty’s award-winning pastel landscapes begin with an underpainting of watercolor on sanded paper. Then rich colors of soft pastels are applied in thin layers to create texture, atmosphere and depth. Her love of color, drama and the unknown invite the viewer to wander through mountains, along rivers or beside cliffs to discover a new world of wonder and mystery. Marty has been featured in The Pastel Journal and Artist’s Magazine. Her painting was chosen for the 2014 Sunriver Music Festival Poster.

Kachleinon display. Reception October 3, 4–7pm. Bolt was born and lived most of her life in the Midwest. She and her husband retired to Central Oregon almost 11 years ago. Jane spent her life working with crafts of all kinds. After Jane retired, she was drawn to jewelry design. At first Jane made jewelry for herself and as gifts. With encouragement, she began selling her jewelry in local stores and galleries. Boswell grew up in Southern California where she entered her first county fair at the age of five. Since those early days, her life has been clearly marked by a passion for creative expression. Sue spent time in England, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and has lived in Idaho for the past 17 years. Mountains, oceans and wildlife are among her favorite subjects. Sue’s preferred medium is watercolor. Kachlein states, “The first 37 years of my life were spent trying very hard to be someone and something other than who I was and what I wanted to be. This little endeavor did not work.” For the past 17 years, Mark’s days have been filled with designing, hammering, grinding, bending, cutting, welding, carving and balancing the two elements he loves most—stone and steel.

Wildfire Pottery Showcase Features Local Ceramic Artists by TORI YOUNGBAUER Cascade A&E Feature Writer
T
he annual Wildfire Pottery Showcase features more than 25 premier ceramic artists and will include clay demonstrations throughout each day, a children’s area with clay activities for kids and free raffles. The gallery showcase highlights artwork from each artist. Winners in the 2014 Best in Show are Michael Gwinup for the functional category and Nancy Dasen in the sculptural category. Wildfire is sponsored by The Clay Guild of The Cascades (CGC), a nonprofit organization that formed in late 2004 and since then has been dedicated to supporting local artists and education. Artist Helen Bommarito has been the Guild’s president for the past three years, and was there for the inception of the Wildfire Showcase. “We came together out of a sense of community. We realized there were a lot of potters in the area and we wanted to share knowledge, ideas, help the local community through donations and simply get to know each other better. We thought it would
be nice to do an annual showcase to show the local population what we do,” says Bommarito. Member meetings, educational workshops, cooperative purchases of supplies, exhibitions and participation in charitable projects to help The Art Station and Empty Bowls, supports CGC’s aim to promote creative selfexpression in clay, share knowledge and experience and facilitate an appreciation of handmade pottery and ceramics. “Every year we provide all the bowls for NeighborImpact’s major food bank fundraiser, Empty Bowls. This year we have created about 800 of them. We also donate a portion of proceeds from the Wildfire show to Arts Central’s clay education scholarship fund,” Bommarito adds. CGC works hard to create fun, creative projects, while also giving back to the community.

The Heart of A Weaver
I
t never occurred to Stephanie Stanley that she could be an artist. “When I was young I thought being an artist meant drawing portraits and having good handwriting.” She did love fiber work and at an early age learned a number of techniques. Stanley’s career took a different direction with a law degree and a job as a trial attorney with the State of California. Despite a demanding legal career she fell in love with weaving. Retirement and her move to Bend afforded her time to follow her passion. Why weaving? “Cloth touches our heart and is a way to tell the world who we are,” says Stanley. “From wrapping a newborn in a blanket to years later when that same blanket may be used for comfort and security, fiber is a part of our lives. I see my scarves as a way to honor the wearer. It is about bringing one’s
own unique beauty into the world.” Stanley’s crowded studio is in her home with seven full sized floor looms and plenty of yarn. Currently she is weaving scarves, shawls and garments. “Once a year I set up a dye studio in my garage and dye yarn and the cloth after it has been woven. I love the effects I can get with dyes.” She uses her spinning wheel to ply yarns together for special effects, but rarely spins yarn anymore. Yarn sources are global but Stanley buys locally when possible. The baby blankets are made with organic cotton grown in the U.S. “I buy alpaca yarn from Central Oregon and have Imperial Stock Ranch Columbia sheep yarn from Maupin,” explains Stanley. Columbia sheep were developed in Oregon to survive in the high desert. What’s next? “I have new ideas for household items like table runners and blankets
Arts
as well as clothing, and of course more scarves and shawls.” Is Stephanie an artist now? “Maybe. I’ve noticed lately that my handwriting isn’t any worse than anyone else’s but I still can’t draw portraits.” Stephanie Stanley is a featured
artist for October at the Red Chair Gallery. Her work is available through Red Chair year round. Red Chair Gallery 103 NW Oregon Ave., 541-306-3176 www.redchairgallerybend.com

The exhibition explores the fascinating natural history, cultural significance and conservation efforts to protect sage grouse and their habitat. Under an unprecedented partnership including ranchers, researchers, conservation groups and state and federal agencies—a sage grouse conservation plan is emerging that may stop or even reverse the decline. In addition to highlighting this work, the exhibit offers specific ways the public can directly support sage grouse conservation.

Cost to members is free and $5 for non-members; RSVP at highdesertmuseum.org/rsvp. In addition, the High Desert Museum, in partnership with the University of Oregon, will host a Natural History Pub lecture on the sage grouse’s Endangered Species listing decision at 7pm on October 13 at McMenamin’s Old St. Francis School.

unriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery features paintings by Judy Hoiness and Patricia Oertley through November 8. Bend artist Judy Hoiness, one of Oregon’s most recognized artists, exhibits expressionistic paintings with reference to landscape. A fourth generation Oregonian, Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest are major inspirations for her work. Her acrylic imagery presents a flattened perspective of landscape, perhaps geologic layers, rendered in a widely interpretive palette. Hoiness graduated from Portland State University in art education and obtained a masters degree in
illustration from Syracuse University. Noted for numerous national and regional exhibitions throughout the U.S., the artist received over 40 significant awards with her art published in seven books on watercolor and acrylic as well as Watercolor Magazine. Her teaching experience includes working as adjunct faculty in art at Central Oregon Community College as well as many workshops in the U.S. and Canada. Patricia Oertley, Bend artist previously of Sunriver, presents abstract acrylic and oil stick paintings of multiple layers. The work leads the viewer skillfully throughout subtle backgrounds with focus on

movement created by contrasting color and strong linear marks as accent. She notes the joy of this “making marks and finding layers.” She also shows abstracted photographic images of painted metal with chrome accents. The artist composed these images from edits of photographs taken during an earlier visit to a “junkyard” on rural backroads outside of Atlanta, Georgia. Intrigued by the color, shape and interesting forms of the encountered wreckage, Oertley created the eight photos appearing in the exhibit. The artist received a bachelors in fine art from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame and an masters in fine art from Columbia University. She then spent many years teaching in South America and the Middle East. She notes that her education, living and teaching abroad and her appreciation of music (Wagner, Phillip Glass and rhythmic jazz) strongly influence her art. Sunriver Resort invites the public

all is a great time to visit the Artists’ Gallery of Sunriver to admire the October sun shining through beautiful glass art pieces by stained glass artist, Sheridan Rotermund. Or how about finding an incredible piece of pottery for an early holiday gift made by potter, Dori Kite. You can enjoy both treats any day of the week, but for a really good time, you should arrive at the gallery between 4–6 pm on Saturday, October 10 for the Second Saturday Celebration. Potter Dori Kite is a Bend native and began her pottery career at Bend High in the 70s and finished her schooling with a bachelors from Eastern Oregon University. Kite is inspired by texture, colors and pattern in nature and architectural forms. Her process has her photographing or sketching decorative themes that catch her eye. Her inspiration can be from a Mend hi henna design or a palm leaf. All of her work is fresh and fun. Most recently Kite added some beautifully intricate Raku vessels to her many other popular pieces. The Raku vessels display a very controlled pattern technique while still preserving the raw beauty of the process. Often the gallery is still scented with the campfire smell left over from the Raku process itself. Other more functional pieces, such as cups, platters, bowls and small pitchers, take inspiration from the colors of a mallard duck or a watermelon. Some pieces, like a vessel to hold oil for

cooking, have a whimsical image of Popeye’s girlfriend, Olive Oil. Glass artist Sheridan Rotermund is new to the Gallery this summer. After studying fine art in New York, Rotermund most recently kept a studio and showed in galleries in Carmel and Halfmoon Bay, California. The artist is challenged by the intricacy of creating scenes that are less commonly attempted by others who work in the medium. Rotermund’s use of extremely small pieces of glass gives his creations a depth of detail that is astonishing. His pieces come in a range of sizes, colors and subject matter. In one piece, depicting Koi in a pond, Rotermund’s technique actually makes the Koi appear to be under the water.

outdoor public art gallery where artists loan their sculptures to the City of Redmond for two years. This allows the City to display over $100,000 of public art. At the end of the two years, a People’s Choice Award vote is conducted and the winning sculpture is purchased by the City of Redmond to become part of the permanent art collection. With discounted purchases and donated art, the Art Around the Clock program has cost the City of Redmond $15,000 and has yielded $75,000 of permanent sculptural art for Redmond’s public art program, resulting in a $4 return for every $1 invested. “Redmond started its public art
program in 2006 with a donation from Phil and Penny Knight, Air Traffic Control, a sculpture by Greg Congleton,” states Heather Richards, community development director. “Over the years we have continued to build our public art program primarily through donations. Redmond is blessed to not only be surrounded by such a diverse and creative artist community but also to have such generous benefactors contributing to our public art program.” To learn more about RCAPP or the Art Around the Clock outdoor gallery, contact Deborah McMahon, principal planner at 541-923-7724 or Deborah.

Honoring Jeanie Smith’s Cultured Works at Art Adventure Gallery
J
eanie Smith, Central Oregon and Portland artist, passed peacefully on August 22 in Portland, Oregon, of ovarian cancer. Jeanie was a stalwart member of Madras’ Art Adventure Gallery where she had a yearly solo show since 1996. The gallery will be featuring a retrospective of Jeanie’s work this October. The opening reception is Thursday, October 1 from 5:30-7pm. The public is welcome. Initially working in ceramics, Jeanie created giant fruit and shoes, masks and tiles...simple items that gave her pleasure. Color was a major component of her work, as she explored its ability to evoke emotions. In 1998 she and her husband Ken bought a home in Palm Springs, California where she began taking classes in making mono types. Filled with humans, birds and animals, there were also images of Warm Springs and the beauty she saw each time they returned to their home in the Oregon High Desert. Future paintings continued to incorporate the

interplay of animals, humans and birds. She played with their relationships and communication with one another. Even inert objects seem to have the ability to interact. Ken and Jeanie’s travels to Hawaii, Mexico and the jungles of Belize introduced reptiles, ruins and eyes of the unknown as well as architectural elements to her art. They represented today’s environment with its stresses and opportunities. Overlapping and intersecting images formed complex and imaginative compositions. Color, bright and bold, continued to be a central element. As her eyesight deteriorated she adapted by using less detail, finding joy in the way color allowed simple forms to relate to one another. Most recently she photographed everything of interest and found a new way of working she called contemporary collage on canvas. Jeanie showed her art in Central Oregon, Portland, Palm Springs and Los Angeles. She reveled in her output of expression and placement of her work in a variety of venues. Her enthusiasm
toward self-expression was contagious. Her intent was genuine; her energy was sincere. She had a true sense of joy in discovery and applied that to her art. She was always willing to change and expand. Her images were ever-evolving. Jeanie contributed to the culture of Central Oregon. As a resident of Warm Springs, her heart was grounded in the rich soil of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. She felt the Deschutes River flow with the seasonal changes of the area. She was actively involved in the origin and growth of The Museum at Warm Springs. She lived the environment and practiced it in her art. Remembrances in Jeanie’s name would be appreciated to: Art Adventure Gallery, 185 SW 5th St. PO Box 376, Madras, OR 97741. 541-475-7701, info@artadventuregallery.com or Ovarian Cancer Alliance of Oregon SW Washington PMB 243, Suite 103 16420 SE McGillivray Vancouver, WA 98683-3461

Dinner with a View at Broken Top by LINDEN GROSS, One Stop Writing Shop & Oregon Local Getaways
I
hadn’t been to Broken Top for years. Truth be told, I forget about it when I’m thinking about restaurant options. I won’t make that mistake again, especially when it comes to finding a spot for drinks, appetizers and a sunset with a killer view. The vast deck was quite full when we arrived on a warm Friday night, so we opted to dine inside overlooking the six-acre lake and the Cascade Mountains beyond. Lovely. We popped the sparkling wine and dove into a charcuterie and cheese plate that included house-cured salmon (it’s actually smoked right outside the restaurant) that was silky rather than dry with just the right amount of salt, along with salami slices, pieces of duck confit, two kinds of mild French cheese (Boursin and Port Salut) and crackers. Then
came the Crunchy Asian Crab Cakes—made with crab, shrimp, scallops and little else aside from a splash of coconut milk—were light and mousse-like. Cilantro and the sweet chili and sriracha sauces gave the seafood cakes a Southeast Asian twist. We moved on to our soup and salad course. The New England Clam Chowder, served every Friday, was creamy without being too thick, and heavy on the bacon—clearly a Northwest take on a New England classic. The Caesar Salad, which we opted to have grilled, then chopped and tossed, had a light smoky flavor, nicely accented by the lemon and anchovy dressing and parmesan cheese. I’m usually disappointed by restaurant Caesars. Not this time. For our entrees, we ordered the locally-sourced rib eye which had
been dry aged for 60 days, the rack of New Zealand lamb and the sautéed scallops. The beef and the lamb were tasty, but both needed more seasoning as well as sauces that did the meat justice. The five large scallops were large, tender and flavorful. The pastas that you can now order in half portions also sound promising, especially the capellini with lemon, chili and creamy spinach which you can top with, among other things, shrimp. Next time. We ended the meal with three over-the-top desserts, Triple Chocolate Torte (can you say triple chocolate decadence?), Creamy Peanut Butter Pie (can you say whipped Reeses?) and Bread Pudding with apples, apricots, walnuts and a maple drizzle— accompanied by three dessert wines. That’s what I call civilized.

welve years ago on a cold October night, ghostly ragtime tunes wafted from the Sage Saloon on a piano that was tuned for the first time in Shaniko in 1912, the Shaniko Ragtime and Vintage Music Festival was born.

Chase Brockett grew up in Bakersfield, California, where being tiny and asthmatic forced him to become funny. His affable charm has delighted audiences in all types of venues from bars, theaters, colleges and clubs such as the Improv and Comedy Store. He currently resides in Portland. Sean McBride, a well-traveled man indeed, relates to people no matter where he’s performing. Sean hit the road as the opening act for legendary comedian Vic Dunlop (The Richard Pryor Show, Make Me Laugh). With hip, clever writing and a boyish charm, it’s no surprise everybody leaves one of Sean’s shows feeling like he’s been living next door to them their whole lives. Jake Woodmansee is one of the most prominent stand up comedians in the Central Oregon area. He has performed for the entire west coast from Alaska to Hawaii and is the 2014 winner of Oregon’s Last Comedian Standing. Jake has also been a regular performer at The Comedy Store, Laugh Factory, and Improv in Los Angeles. A devout Bend local, he has worked with countless charities over the years using his irreverent words for the power of good. His favorite color is Bacon.

New Perspective for October by Eileen Lock
atience will be required as we begin this month so remember to take deep breaths along the way. Decisions made on the 6th could leave you wondering what will happen next. Realize you may not have all of the information you need yet. Conversations near the 9th could start out feeling restrictive yet can offer opportunities when you are open to something new. Be willing to change your mind about relationships during the New Moon on the 12th especially if you have doubts. Talk out loud about your situation during this time if you want someone else to understand what you are feeling. Action taken on the 15th is cooperative and will create more opportunities for the future. Keep all conversations simple on the 18th and realize there will be a ripple for several days from anything you say. Step up on the 22nd and be completely honest and realize this is what you heart has wanted all along. Even though it may feel good to speak your truth you may notice an increase in the intensity and an awkward feeling. Remind yourself that you could feel uncomfortable simply because you are doing something new. Make a choice to let what is in your heart manifest after the 25th. The Full Moon on the 27th could challenge you to believe that you are enough. Trust your intuition on the 30th and accept that integration is important. Be willing to work with those around you and be grateful for their support.
