Along with the football jocks, they rule the school, making life a living hell for anyone who crosses them or their path.

ENCORE High Desert Museum & Museum at Warm Springs Receive Grant A collaborative project between the High Desert Museum and The Museum at Warm Springs has received a $110,662 Museums for America grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in support of Weaving Stories: Creating Stronger Institutional Partnerships to Enhance Culturally Relevant Visitor Experiences. The project will empower museum professionals at both institutions to expand their capacity to develop place-based exhibits, programs and practices that honor Indigenous perspectives, both past and present. Based on the successful National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Cosmic Serpent and Native Universe models, the Weaving Stories project will use multiday workshops and intensive learning experiences to foster relationships across organizations and advance staff expertise. These NSF-funded models explore the commonalities between western science and native knowledge. The three-year project is divided into three phases built around intensive learning experiences. The cultural engagement phase (December 2017-December 2018) will center on a foundational four-day workshop that will advance understandings of land, place and culture among stakeholders. In addition to benefiting staff, volunteers and board members at the two institutions, the project will ultimately benefit museum visitors and the Central Oregon community by increasing public awareness and understanding of different cultures and worldviews and sparking community dialogue.

Author to Visit Bend Pamela Royes, Eastern Oregon author of the memoir Temperance Creek, will visit a writing class in Bend. “The careful examination of a book influences our own writing,” says Sarah Cyr, who will teach the eightweek memoir writing class Royes will visit on October 12. “Sensorial detail, unique punctuation, thoughtful incorporation of research — we absorb all of this through a deep study of quality writing.” The class began September 21 and meets weekly until November 9 at Hawthorne Healing Arts Center. In Temperance Creek, Royes lyrically details her coming of age in the early seventies in Eastern Oregon’s outback, herding sheep and falling in love with her husband, Skip, a returning Vietnam soldier. www.sarahcyr.com

Poet Jamie Houghton Burn Site in Bloom
P
Jamie Houghton
oet and teaching artist Jamie Houghton released her chapbook, Burn Site in Bloom, via Musehick Publications. The chapbook’s compelling cover art was created by artist Pat Clark, founder of Bend Art Center (formerly Atelier 6000). The book is available online from Amazon and at Bend Art Center. Houghton says, “When I was writing these poems, I wanted to explore questions such as where home is found and what defines home. Is it in landscapes? Is it in people? This chapbook begins in Vermont, and loosely follows my own personal migration west to Oregon, leaving the land that my family has lived on for hundreds of years. There is a sacredness about the old farm that I’ll never be able to explain to someone who has never been there. It’s like a
LITERARY
time capsule. But now I’ve lived in Oregon for over ten years, and very much consider it home.” Burn Site in Bloom was inspired by both desert and verdant landscapes. Houghton recalled that she started the collection during a fellowship residency at PLAYA in Summer Lake, Oregon, where she wrote about the high desert landscape — the spaciousness, the sparse but persistent life force there. The chapbook has earned praise from Houghton’s poet colleagues. “This book is about leaving home, finding home and the limits of what you can and can’t take with you. Jamie takes you with her, delivering magic and music in the images along the way.” Buddy Wakefield, performance poet, Individual World Poetry Slam Champion and author of Stunt Water. Houghton will introduce Burn Site in Bloom to audiences at a series of readings in Central Oregon and Portland and a book launch celebration after taking maternity leave in the fall. www.jamierosehoughton.com houghton.jamie@gmail.com

his true story is set in Indian country and pits two strong-willed men against each other in an epic Davidand-Goliath battle over the dominance of the white man’s religion. A full half-century after Dr. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman were killed — a pivotal event igniting the disastrous Cayuse Indian War — Jimmy Cornelison is assigned as the new missionary. He faces a skeptical congregation made up of the descendants of those who committed the murders. The Indians name this young man fresh out of seminary school, Shoyapo Shoyapo — Little White Man. His authority is swiftly challenged by Chief Peo, a powerful and fearsome leader among his people. The chief denounces the Bible-toting minister and the God he has brought to replace the traditional belief system of Washat. Rick Steber has over forty titles under his belt and more than a million books in print. Rick has won many awards and is the only Oregon author to have been presented with the prestigious Western Writers of America Spur Award — Best Western Novel.

Sunriver STARS Community Theater THE SECRET GARDEN
T
he Secret Garden will be presented by the Sunriver Stars Community Theater at The Door in the Sunriver Business Park. Directed by Victoria Kristy, with Gail Gibson as assistant director, the musical is a charming, upbeat adaptation of the literary classic by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Mary Lennox is sent to live in Victorian England after her parents die in India of the dreaded cholera. Misselthwaite Manor turns out to be a gloomy fortress. Her uncle is rarely home and his young son, Colin, never leaves his room, convinced he’s an incurable invalid. Mary discovers a strange walled garden that has been locked up for years. With the gardener’s apprentice, Dickon, a lad who can talk to the animals, Mary coaxes the garden back to life. The garden seems to have a wonderful, magical effect on all who come into it, allowing Mary to help restore Colin to health and a reunion with his father. This is a real ‘feel good’ show. It is filled with characters, young, older, grumpy, snooty, forlorn, curious, loving, wise and…. all delightful. The score is bright and whimsical, and will have the actors, under the musical direction of Sharon Sackett and the choreography of Rich Mundy, singing and dancing their way into your hearts!

October 2017 | www.CascadeAE.com
tage Right Productions presents the return of Evil Dead the Musical by Frank Cipolla, Melissa Morris and George Reinblatt, October 13-28. This marks the sixth production of the fake blood-soaked zombie musical, voted Best of Central Oregon by its fans in 2015. The story remains the same: five college students go off to an old abandoned cabin in the woods and accidently release an evil force that takes over each character and hero Ash battles them armed with a chainsaw hand and shotgun to save all of mankind. Evil Dead the Musical is based on the original Evil Dead movies developed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell: Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, however this year’s production will pay homage to the popular new Starz series, Ash vs Evil Dead, and will be filled with new jokes and gags, according to Director Sandy Klein. “Ash vs Evil Dead has made the original movie series more popular than ever, and our production continues to sell out every year.” Evil Dead the Musical is the only musical that features a Splatter Zone, where fans in the front row are targeted with copious amounts of spraying fake blood. Klein warns, “2nd Street is a very small theatre, so be prepared to get some blood on you, even if you are not in the splatter zone.” Rain ponchos are available for purchase, but she advises against wearing your Sunday best. The songs are campy and fun, including such catchy tunes as What the F$%^&k Was That? and All The Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed by Candarian Demons. The Evil Dead Band returns for the fourth year, featuring the members of local band, FunBobby, led by Rick Buckley. This year’s cast features some veterans as well as some new faces. Back for his 2nd term is Ryan Klontz, as the stock boy turned zombie killer, Ash Williams. “We have a great flock of Deadites this year, and there may even be a special guest appearance by our original Ash, Todd Hanson,” says Klein. Performances Thursday-Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday Matinees 3pm. Tickets are $30 for Splatter Zone, $25 Adults, $22 Student/Seniors(60+) at www.2ndstreettheater.com or 541-312-9626. Warning: The show contains adult content and language and lots of fake blood.

BEAT Children’s Theatre presents Tom Sawyer
M
ark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are — the day you were born, and the day you find out why.” At BEAT Children’s Theatre we love to explore the why! The classic tale The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain may have originally been published in 1876, but the themes are remarkably relevant today. The teen cast of this production have, under the direction of Sandy Silver, been exploring the themes of justice, community and the unexpected learning moments we all experience in childhood. Narrated by Mark Twain himself, this play is by turns hilarious, nostalgic and frightening. Anyone who grew up reading this wonderful story will find this production

very true to the original. Who can forget the names Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, Becky Thatcher or Injun Joe? Who doesn’t drive by a white picket fence and remember the infamous white-washing scene? Who hasn’t questioned their own thoughts and feelings while watching the wrong man nearly hang for a murder? Perhaps you have fancied the idea of running away to a private island to live as a pirate? The Adventures of Tom Sawyer has long asked its readers to ponder their own experiences and prejudices... at times the story has even been banned from schools and libraries for its inflammatory material. Part of the genius of Mark Twain was to remind us that the challenges of life play out side-byside with some of our greatest stories. Director Sandy Silver has many decades of directing under her belt and is delighted to back working with young people again. “Young actors,” says Sandy, “are so brave and are always willing to try different things with their characters.” She focuses on teaching the actors to think for themselves and directs by asking questions. Through the exploration of the questions, and their answers, the cast of Tom Sawyer are building their performance skills as well as their understanding of the adventures of Tom Sawyer. Sandy chose the adult version of this play rather than the children’s version most often mounted by
youth theatre. “The teen actors are ready for this,” she says. “They are ready to dig into some meatier material and rise to a challenge.” She has NOT been disappointed in the results. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer will be on stage at The Old Stone Church in Bend on October 5-7. More information is available at tickettails.com

We can be artists, business leaders or ordinary citizens (like me).” The event includes: u Screening of 2017 film Little Stone (winner of Best Documentary Vail film festival premiere). The film features four female artists that are using their art to affect change in the area of violence against women. u Emmy-award winning director Sophia Kruz speaking on Changing

Sonia’s enormous personality and fragile frame mask the horrors she endured. At 15 she watched her mother disappear behind gas chamber doors. Sonia’s teenage years were a blur of concentration camps and death marches. On liberation day, she was accidentally shot through the chest, yet again miraculously survived. Sonia is the ultimate survivor, a bridge between cultures and generations. Northwest-made Big Sonia is thrilled to be part of BendFilm 2017 according to Producer/CoDirector Leah Warshawski, who produces award-winning documentar y-style features, television, commercials and branded entertainment in remote parts of the world. Big Sonia won the Jury Prize and the Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at its premiere at the Napa Valley Film Festival, Audience Award at the Mendocino Film Festival and Best Documentary at the Barcelona International Film Festival. ON LOCATION IN BEND Shut Up Anthony is Kyle Eaton directorial debut screening at the BendFilm on October 14. “We are thrilled to not only play the BendFilm because it’s an amazing fest... but also because we shot Shut Up Anthony on location in Bend and Sunriver,” exclaims Eaton. “As an Oregon Native, I was excited to shoot this film with a Portland-based crew. Oregon-based Composer Mark Orton (Nebraska) scored the film. We were able to put together a soundtrack comprised of Oregon musicians like Richmond Fontaine, Annalisa Tornfelt, Barna Howard & Caleb Klauder. This truly is an Oregon Made Film.” Shut Up Anthony just had its New York Premiere at the Brooklyn Film Festival where it won the Spirit Award for narrative feature. It just played the Sidewalk Film Festival and had its world premiere at Cinequest.

DIRECTOR HOMECOMING Wandering Wolverine Productions proudly features the documentary film, Earth Seasoned…#Gap Year at the Festival. The filmmakers plan to be in full attendance as this is a special festival and homecoming for director, Molly Kreuzman. Back in 2004, the year of the festival’s debut, Molly was part of the team to deliver the newly refurbished Tower Theatre as the festivals main stage. “Of course Molly’s film was selected. Having witnessed her ingenuity behind the art scene, it’s absurd to assume her shift from back to front stage would be anything but inspired and enormously successful,” commented Katie Merritt, founder and original director at BendFilm. Merritt plans to travel from Portland to attend her old chum’s screening Sunday, October15 at 10am at the Tower Theatre. Earth Seasoned…#GapYear answers the question of what happens when five college-aged women commit to a year of living “semi-primitively” in the Oregon Cascade Mountains. In order to survive, they must quickly trade their comfortable lives of easy utilities and electronics for the skills of traditional indigenous people: fire-by-friction, shelter building, gathering edible and medicinal plants, tracking animals and practicing daily nature meditations. Together, these women show us the profound gifts nature offers.

ise Hoffman-McCabe is an award winning plein air pastel painter, founding partner of Red Chair Gallery and committed world traveler who is always looking for the next great subject to paint. She loves the plein air technique which requires painting quickly, as the light and weather conditions change as she paints. This method usually results in smaller pieces. However, because she favors larger paintings she has found herself spending more time in her studio which allows her to do the 3’ x 4’ paintings that are more challenging. When she is in her studio she can take advantage of a beautiful big window filled with light and a larger pallet with all her numerous Lise Hoffman-McCabe pastels at her finger tips.

umping in and discussing an unfamiliar subject, Zuni artwork for instance, is like telling a newcomer from the Amazon about powder conditions on Mt. Bachelor and snowboard racing. While art or an exotic sporting event can be a portal for visualizing the beyond, context about what’s viewed reduces confusion. However, there are times when contextual facts aresparse, asis the case with both the history and culture of the Zuni Pueblo. This type of paradigm then offers something rare—a true enigma. Some cultures hold a much different perspective from ours regarding— sharing, privacy and what we call transparency, both at the individual and societal level. The Zuni People of New Mexico have an obscure origin; they prefer to remain mute on understandings about various topics. Socalled facts about their spiritual matters are recorded but are far from complete, to the dismay of researchers. An example of all this is their language, A:Shiwi. It has no known lineage or family member, thus making it a language isolate. They have been their own People for at least 7,000 years, similar to the Basques of Western Europe. Many of the facts that we do know about the Zuni can be fairly peculiar to us — they are a matriarchal society; women own all property and material wealth along with lineage rights. When a marriage occurs, the husband moves to, lives with and becomes part of the wife’s family. Estimates are that eighty percent of all households have at least one family member who is a stone/wood carver, jeweler, potter or painter; most have more than one. This makes the community, per capita, perhaps the richest artist enclave in the United States. The people that the Zuni sometimes identify with culturally and spiritually are the Hopi, yet, their languages are altogether different. Finally, the Zuni have long had the reputation as being exceptional, proud warriors; they fended off incursions for millenniums and most recently turned back the Navajo, Apache and Spanish. So nothing intrudes with any depth upon them, their lands or the culture with the exception, maybe, of love. Forty years ago, a young Navajo woman attending the University of New Mexico went to the Pueblo for a weekend stay with her newly found Zuni girlfriend. She never left. Considering that the Navajo are also a matriarchal society, it does not happen that a wife goes to live where the husband is. But it did happen. And she’s still there. Jayne Quam not only stayed and made a life with Lynn, she learned from

him how to make the centuries old tradition of small stone carvings depicting the animal spirits, known as Zuni Fetishes. Jayne added a unique feature of inlaying stone into her works, a style more commonly seen in Kewa (Santo Domingo Pueblo) jewelry. Lynn mostly carves buffalos. A lot of Zuni artists have carved buffalos, but Lynn’s are it. Their daughter, Kandis, earned a degree in anthropology from the University of New Mexico. She became a painter and has taken the Zuni image making— first done in with colored pencils and within a Realism context seventy years ago—into contemporary perspectives. Elroy Natachu Jr is the nephew of Jayne and Lynn. Through contemporary perspectives, he has dedicated himself to the preservation of the culture and in particular the Zuni Kachinas. Together, they have formed the art partnership, Natachu Ink. The two of them, along with Jayne, will be in Sisters for a three day in person show at Raven Makes Gallery, October 27-29, coinciding with the Friday Art Stroll.

n Thursday, October 19 at St. Charles Center for Health and Learning, Two Twisted Sisters Productions and Temple Beth Tikvahwill present author, Daniel M. Cohen — filmmaker, author and film critic for over thirty years — as he discusses his book Single Handed and the extraordinary life of its hero, Tibor “Teddy” Rubin — the only Holocaust survivor ever to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor. Cohen masterfully and eloquently sheds light on this extraordinary man and his incredible odyssey that ultimately brought him to the White House. In 1944, 13-year-old Hungarian Tibor Rubin was captured by the Nazis and sent to the notorious Mauthausen concentration camp, whose horrors he endured for more than a year. After surviving the Holocaust, he arrived penniless in America, barely speaking English. In 1950, Tibor volunteered for service in the Korean War. After acts of heroism that included single-handedly defending a hill against an onslaught of enemy soldiers, braving sniper fire to rescue a wounded comrade, and commandeering a machine gun after its crew was killed, he was captured. As a POW, Tibor called on his Mauthausen experience to help his fellow GIs survive for two and half years in captivity.

The Forward newspaper in its review proclaims, “Cohen tells Rubin’s story with unadorned prose that perfectly matches his subject’s straightforward (and drily humorous) outlook on life….. but where Cohen really shines is in his telling of the third part of the story, which actually makes Rubin’s battles with (and eventual victory over) U.S. military and government bureaucracy almost as enthralling and inspiring as his earlier trials.” Cohen has written and directed two award-winning independent features and continues to write essays on film for RealReporting.org, a website of news and opinion. He currently resides in Bend. He is eager to speak about the story and to share a wealth of anecdotes about Tibor, some of which do not appear in the book.

The artists are friends and studio mates of several years yet each offers unique and engaging artwork. Brock shows expressionistic images suggesting florals, those using geometric shapes, and other forms creating energy and dimension. She notes that her art embraces constant movement, color and change. Brock states that her art is often a response to the dynamic and inconsistent actions our society demonstrates through these times of Transition.

the use of acrylics, pastel, pen, and various fiber materials applied to canvas and wood panels.” She employs the varied mediums “to provide a veritable feast of memories from my years of travel.” “These memories include late evening light reflected on rock and cliffs, vast treks across deserts and painted hills and morning gratitudes by the ocean, viewed in early light; all evoke those Black Mesa by Dory Hethcote, mixed media on canvas and wood panel places in nature that have sustained me in my life, providing peace, direction and thankfulness. I attribute the fundamentals of my style to my love of color and texture, which I believe provide interest, depth and movement in my work. I hope my paintings encourage you to go out into nature to restore and nurture your spirit.” Tillinghast presents mixed media paintings featuring the figure including a discouraged basketball player. This Last Foul image offers transitional lessons, “You cannot have the fun of the game without the reality of accepting the let-downs.” The artists notes, “I began drawing figures at a young age. Most children begin drawing stick-like figures; mine were well-muscled and in motion. The colour I place behind, over and through each figure, Last Foul by Sharon Tillinghast, along with texture, is as important as the figure itself; acrylic and pastel on canvas these aspects add life, a bit of tension and reality to each figure. The nude figures are drawn to show the difficulty life can bring. Each painting offers a glimpse of success or inner strength. Real emotion is easily detected by the facial expressions.” The Franklin Atrium (and Bond St. entrance) exhibition is open from 7am– 7pm.

Full of saturated color and abstract spaces, Emerson’s empty circus rings and shadowy interiors of the big top have a haunting quality, as though the performers have just exited for the final time. The few scenes still inhabited by show horses, lions and elephants feel almost like a mirage. Her series of acrobats, reduced to simplistic cut out shapes, feel like a viHokey Pokey sual memory of the danger and risk taking that were permitted under the big top. Using innovative combinations of pastel and monotype, Emerson captures a time, place and feeling that lives on in our imagination.

on the traditional approach to oil paintings, but are contrasted by a richer textural quality. “As I see objects and record my ideas on the canvas, I realize there is so much more to painting than merely applying the pigment on a surface according to a preconceived formula. There is a learning process I am experiencing from one painting to the next, a quest for knowledge to know the subject on which I am working.”

Oxford Hotel 10 NW Minnesota Ave., 541-382-8436 Seasons of the Earth featuring acrylic paintings by Sondra Holtzman continues through October 25. The artist will attend the champagne opening on First Friday. Holtzman retrieves discarded objects, tools and gadgets found in ghost towns, along the roadsides and in deserted places. Such acquisitions serve not only her concern for the environment but also provide subjects for her “rust prints.” Among the recovered trash/treaThe Chef by Sondra Holtzman, sures is a stylized door-pull from a 1930’s playful imrust print age of a bakery chef. She transforms the chef and other trash/treasures into intriguing artwork through the emersion of the rusted object in tannic acid. Over time, the acid transfers a ghost image of the rusted object onto a prepared surface with the result of a one-of-a-kind piece of art — an image impossible to duplicate, a “rust print.” Her art career includes attending the Rhode Island School of Design and the California School of Arts and Crafts, education that furthered her artistic abilities. She worked as a freelance designer creating artwork for Nike and Delta Airlines. The Oxford lobby exhibition is open all hours.

Well-known for her public sculptures Danae captures the spirit of both wildlife and ranch animals in her organic works. Working with poured wax that she forms into shapes to build her one-of-a-kind sculptures, Danae uses the fluid nature of the material to convey the Palomino, monoprint by Danae Bennett-Miller energy of her subjects when cast in bronze or glass. “My work is influenced by my natural surroundings, and fueled by the textures, colors, and energy of life force. I have always lived in the company of animals and finding an understanding of how we relate and fit into the greater environment is part of my work,” says Danae. Utilizing her love of drawing and expression, Danae has found printmaking to be a complimentary medium and natural addition to her craft. Her monoprints show exquisite use of line, marks and subtle color. Embossing and shaping paper over forms she creates adds to the sculptural effects of this 2D process.

Betty Gray Gallery Fine Art Exhibition
Autumn in the High Desert with Patricia (Pat) Oertley & Daniel Florea lines urge movement through the paintingand create a sense of depth in these current artworks. The artist notes the joy of this “making marks and finding layers.” In a career spanning several decades, Oertley’s previous images varied: some paintings suggested the colorful kilims of Asia; others, photographs, were abstracted compositions of bold color and form, created from close-up shots in auto wrecking yards; yet another, her Jazz Series, featured a tone on tone palette with neutral hues of gray, beige, white and black. This series paid homage to jazz greats such as Dave Brubeck, Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane whose music can often be heard in Oertley’s studio as she paints. Her art reflects the diversity of the artist’s education in the southern U.S. to her BA in fine art from St. Mary’s College of Notre Dame and her MA in fine art from Columbia University. Her years teaching in Peru and later Saudi Arabia, where she lived for many years, similarly influence the artist as did her later travels in Malta and India.

Bend artist, Oertley’s colorful, abstract paintings show layered, geometricshapes and other forms. Applying thinned acrylic paints, she lays both boldand subtle color one over another, blotting areas to reduce the intensity of the hues or adding elsewhere for emphasis. Amorphous and serendipitous shapes emerge in the work through the process. Then the artist overlays boldly hued, thin strips of paper, cut from her older prints at opposing angles over the more subtle geometric shapes. These notably angular and intensely hued strips/

Throughout these experiences, the artist immersed herself in the respective cultures, all of which combined to influence her art. Paramount in all the artworks, however, is Oertley’s considerable talent and unfettered imagination. Also featured in the current exhibit are paintings by Daniel Florea. Works in the show include his Westgate, Brooks Scanlon Mill reflecting sundown light on that entrance to the mill and his fauvist style of the 1970’s. The artist notes that his images of Central Oregon reflect many hours spent painting on a ranch in the area, facilitated by friends Jeannie and Mitchell Mund to whom he offers gratitude.

erhaps you have been missing the sun’s smiling face because there has been so much smoke in the air, but at the Artists’ Gallery in Sunriver you will find jolly old Sol smiling in many of the art pieces on display. A great time to have fun and meet the artists is at the gallery’s Second Saturday celebration on Saturday October 14 from 4-6pm. Food, beverages, fun and beautiful art will be waiting for your enjoyment. Have fun at the party while picking up some Christmas gifts for those special someones who are a challenge for gift giving. This month featured artists include potter Dori Kite. Kite always provides a beautiful selection of functional art such as cups, serving dishes and the like. Each piece demonstrates the artist’s talented use of glazes and her unique and whimsical style. The bright blue and yellow swirls of Kite’s van Gogh inspired teapot provide their own sunny atmosphere. Some of her newest pieces utilize ideas that were part of a dream that the artist had. The series, entitled Beach, Bike and Bones, features sculptural wall pieces that not only include ceramic components, but drift wood from the beach, bleached animal bones and various bike parts. (Kite’s other job is at a bike shop.) Also featured this month is fabric artist, Nancy Cotton. Cotton seems to have captured the warmth of the sun in many of her pieces. Her technical execution of fabric pieces is only matched by the creative nature of the pieces themselves. You may drape a quilt around your shoulders for warmth and comfort or you may display it on the wall for all to admire. Cotton’s talents are not limited to quilts by any stretch — you’ll be delighted by table runners, napkins, smaller hanging pieces, hats and much more.

world, had become the genesis for the town’s economic salvation and began dispatching community members to never imagined destinations across North America and Europe. Movers and shakers of the Western Art World of the late ‘50s deemed the Inuit works the most purely natural art phenomena to have occurred anywhere during the last 100 years. The Primitive and Naïve Art Movements, influenced by Organic Abstraction, were in their heyday and these Arctic Peoples’ works were truly authentic, reflecting an evolutionary process and deeply authentic artistic creativity. Inuit art stood beyond Western interpretations and definitions of what primitive or surreal art might be. The Inuit People of Baffin Island did not study Western art concepts before undertaking their craft. Their perspectives about ‘how things look’ came from their centuries old understanding about life and living it—being part of the natural order, including a deep connection with the birds and mammals. The images in their prints demonstrate natural perspectives and intimate visions about the Far North, which environmentally speaking can be described as primitive and barren due to the vast, austere expanses.

O
ne of the consequences that World War II had upon human civilization was hastening the final intrusion of the Modern Western World’s culture to the last unscathed places on Earth. Every community on Earth would be exposed to the good and bad this offered; previously isolated areas were powerfully impacted. Today, of course, we refer to this ongoing transformation with the simple term globalization. That concept begins to explain how a remote Inuit village, along an island coast in the Arctic Ocean, has become the most artist-oriented community in Canada. Twenty-two percentage of Kinngait residents on Baffin Island are either sculptors, print makers or two-dimensional artists, which is further surprising considering that 75 years ago, there were none. Even into the early 1950s, people survived by subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering as they had for centuries, along with the recent and rather modest arrival of government supplied commodities and materials. That lifestyle was especially impacted in the mid-50s when the Canadian government and one individual in particular, James Houston, introduced to the Inuit People the notion that this far flung community might want to consider attempting artist endeavors as a means of developing very basic economic opportunities. Seven years after accepting the challenge, the West Baffin Island Artist Co-Operative, better known as Cape Dorset, was renown throughout the art

Fab New Twists on Some Old Classics at Black Butte by LINDEN GROSS One Stop Writing Shop
D
Chocolate Chip Cookie
Clam Chowder
Halibut. Photos courtesy of WAVEJourney.com
ining at Black Butte would be a treat simply based on the view alone. But then there’s the food. My friends and I had been wanting to return ever since seeing the Lodge’s new menu. As usual, the meal didn’t disappoint. Our only struggle was agreeing on which dishes were our absolute favorites. The beef tenderloin carpaccio rang my bell and then some. The meat—drizzled with a tangy mustard-horseradish sauce and served with shaved red onion, capers and arugula—was cut so finely I barely had to chew. So far so classic, right? But wait. Crispy fried ribbons of fennel and slices of baguette topped with broiled Cambozola—a cross between a French soft-ripened triple cream cheese and Italian Gorgonzola—shot the dish into a whole different stratosphere. The steamer clam chowder was equally surprising, although it shouldn’t have been since chef de cuisine James Healy, who worked at Timberline Lodge for 13 years before landing at the Black Butte Lodge, dominated Oregon’s chowder competitions for years. Instead of a thick cream sauce that the clams could probably perch on, this chowder had been lightened up with white wine and grilled lemon. Hello! My friends and I are already planning an après-ski return just for this stunningly delicious rendition. Rounding out our top three appetizers were the Oregon bay shrimp and crab cakes, which come as a pair. They’re huge, with a crunchy coating, shrimp mousse and lumps of crab. Add in a lemon-caper dill aioli and you’ve got a winner. On the entrée front, I wasn’t super excited when my friends wanted to order the Alaskan halibut, but I went along. The dish changed my mind about halibut forever. The pan-seared halibut medallion was crispy on the outside, moist on the inside and heaven when eaten with the sweet and pungent green currycoconut broth. I was equally uncertain about the diver scallop cioppino. I love scallops, but I’ve never understood the infatuation with cioppino. On the other hand, I hadn’t tasted Chef Healy’s version. Instead of what so often seems like tomato puree, this cioppino featured a tomato broth spiked with caramelized fennel, lobster jus, roasted garlic and pinot gris. The seafood itself was as ridiculously good as the broth and included halibut, steamer clams, shrimp and calamari in addition to the scallops. The Carlton pork tenderloin medallions, which I was determined to order despite a lack of excitement from the rest of our table, also proved to be a hit. The meat was pink and super tender, and the creamy Calvados pan sauce and apple mostarda were divine. Of our three desserts, the sour dough chocolate cake—a Black Butte tradition for decades—seemed a little dry to me, something I’ve experienced in the past. I had no complaints about the creamy vanilla bean crème brûlée. And the warm skillet cookie studded with melted chocolate chip and topped with vanilla ice cream should simply be illegal. The skillet cookie takes 15 minutes, so if you don’t have time to hang out make sure you pre-order. This is one you don’t want to miss.

H
ailing from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, The Steel Wheels are familiar with the traditions of folk music and how a string band is supposed to sound. In May, the band released their fifth studio album, Wild As We Came Here, produced by Sam Kassirer ( Josh Ritter, Lake Street Dive, Elephant Revival). The album is catchy, yet showcases the incredible talent and synchrony of the band— matched with Broadway drummer Kevin Garcia, Wild As We Came Here is a fresh perspective with traditional influences. Appearing at The Domino Room in Bend on October 28. Wild As We Came Here is a significant leap for the band, which started its journey in 2004. Trent Wagler, Brian Dickel, and Eric Brubaker studied at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, about an hour from Charlottesville (All four members of the band grew up in Mennonite families.) Wagler and Dickel were in a punk/alternative band until acoustic music lured them in. Wagler soon started crafting songs and learned flat-picking. Dickel took classes on building guitars. They briefly played as a duo before Brubaker joined on fiddle. Lapp eventually came on board after getting to know the band from the local folk circuit. In 2010, following a variety of EPs and LPs, the ensemble officially branded itself as The Steel Wheels, a tip of the hat to steam-powered trains, industrial progress and the buggies of their Mennonite lineage. Then, as now, The Steel Wheels’ style weaves through Americana and bluegrass music, folk and old-time music, and the acoustic poetry of the finest singer-songwriters. By incorporating percussion and keyboards into the sessions for the first time, Wild As We Came Here adds new textures to their catalog, as themes of discovery, perseverance, and yes, a bit of wildness, run throughout the collection.

A
New Perspective for October by Eileen Lock
ction taken on the 1st of the month will receive support and cooperation. Appreciate the changes that are taking place on the 3rd and realize how much you have needed this. The Full Moon on the 5th is all about letting yourself truly enjoy whatever is happening in your life. Conversations on the 8th are intense and you will need to trust yourself completely. Have faith in your ability to walk through what is ahead of you. Opportunities after the 10th may ask for you to let go of the past so that you can move forward. Decisions made over the next few days will be pivotal and could change the direction you go. Be a good listener on the 14th and you will hear indications of things to come. Choose your words wisely on the 15th and realize you are initiating change. Be willing to say goodbye on the 18th so you can say hello to something new. Watch the actions of those around you on the

22nd and you will be glad that you did. Conversations on the 24th are dreamy and full of potential. Say Yes to opportunities on the 26th especially if you are being asked to make a big change. Ask for what you want on the 27th then prepare to be amazed at how quickly things can happen. Give yourself some space over the last few days to relax and let the dust settle a bit. Be gentle with yourself as many things are changing.
