IN REPLY TO “TREE ORDINANCE NEEDED,” (2/25)

We value our small old Bend house and our trees. We have equally cringed at hearing the chainsaws in our neighborhood. We were not aware our other neighbors felt the same way, and are happy to hear such opinions voiced.

What can we do? Why won't people respect the natural beauty and character of our area? ~Dana Robles and Mark Henion

IN RESPONSE TO “OREGON’S COUGAR POPULATION IS GROWING,” (2/25) The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s cougar population estimate is unfounded and likely overblown to protect the interests of trophy hunters. After years of study, Washington estimates its cougar population at approximately 1,850. In stark contrast, Oregon’s wildlife managers have estimated the population at over 6,000 animals, using a population estimation model that the nation’s top cougar biologists have unanimously criticized. In 2015, Oregon wildlife officials authorized the unlimited killing of cougars in so-called “target zones” on over 6,000 square miles. Since 2005, trophy hunters have killed over 2,600 cougars in Oregon, ranking it as the sixth deadliest state for the species.

Additionally, ODFW’s policy to kill all cougars entering city limits is unethical and not in line with best management practices for cougar conservation. Cougars do, on occasion, pass through developed areas, looking for a mate or new territory. They typically move through without harm and avoid human encounters whenever possible. In the rare occurrence when one does outstay its welcome, there are viable options to tranquilize the cougar and rehome the animal in the wilderness. Many states use this strategy and it works quite well.

ODFW needs to rethink its archaic and baseless management of cougars before it’s too late. Instead of catering to a small number of trophy hunters, ODFW needs to accept and meet the public’s standards for protecting and humanely treating our state’s cougars using the best available science. ~Scott Beckstead, Oregon state director, The Humane Society of the United States

Nice piece last week from Harry thanking Angeline for music at the Belfry. I would like to thank Angeline too. I regularly attend concerts at the Belfry including the recent great night with Tommy Castro. I wanted to let Harry know that his letter was very serendipitous because The Old Stone in Bend is “raising the bar,” becoming a performance venue with music concerts as well as theater, film and community events. The Old Stone Performing Arts Center, Bend’s newest yet most historic event center, is now launching. Come experience the historic ambience, an awesome dance floor and one of the best sound rooms in Central Oregon. See you at the Stone.

IN REPLY TO “IMPACT OF MAG CHLORIDE,” (2/18) Mr. Lilley’s points about damage to roads, particularly asphalt roads, have been clearly documented. Given the ratio between benefit (or lack thereof) to road damage, my questions are as follow.

The sun sets behind Mt. Bachelor. Photo by Ryan Russell Choate. Find him on Instagram @ryan_choate.

First, who is ultimately in the drivers seat in terms of making the decision to spray our city roads with magnesium chloride? Secondly, given its shortcomings and hugely expensive repercussions, it would seem that its perpetual (mis)use might be due to some monetary or political incentives.

of good planning by the elected officials. Not only does this apply to road maintenance, but to a long neglected sewage conveyance system.

Apparently the sewage treatment facility upgrade is way over budget.

I am thankful that Mr. Lilley raised this topic at this most appropriate time given the new gas tax vote is upon us. Who knows, could discontinuing the use of mag chloride on our roadways (in addition to the ensuing destruction) be a cost savings equal to the funds the gas tax would create?

Citizens of Bend, the city budget is public record, and I encourage you to have a look at it. The unpleasant realization of engineering study costs are a harsh pill to swallow. The consulting engineers always get their cut first, and it won’t be any different if the City Council gets its additional nickel.

~Ava Palmer

I would be happy to support a tax if the City Council, the Mayor and responsible city employees would cultivate a true vision of a functional and usable mass transit system. A modern transit system that would serve all citizens and would reduce the number of vehicles on the roads.

IN RESPONSE TO “YES ON FUEL TAX,” (2/18) I would like to respectfully dispute the need to jump on a nickel-a-gallon increase in fuel prices.

When developers apply for building permits, fees are levied to support the cost of additional infrastructure use. These fees apply to road maintenance, sewage conveyance, police, fire, and additional utilities.

The City Council and the Mayor have openly stated that “the allocations of funds and deferred maintenance have caused this problem.”

In other words, monies that were collected as road maintenance fees were poached to support other uses not necessarily beneficial to the entire population of Bend.Now the citizens of Bend are being tasked to make up for the lack

LETTER OF THE WEEK Eric, Thank you for your letter. The City of Bend’s comprehensive annual financial reports are public record and published online, (www.ci.bend. or.us).

EDITORIAL

Troy Field is of Long-Term Value

A

s Bend’s development races forward, preserving open space in the heart of downtown is crucial, for once that space is gone, it won’t be coming back. The swift pace of development just reached Troy Field, a little parcel of land, less than one acre, located next to Old St. Francis School.

Putting this property on the chopping block for private development is striking a nerve in the community.

“Not Troy Field!” At a City Council hearing last Thursday, community members young and old took turns at the microphone. Each was timed and given just three minutes to provide public testimony, yet people waited hours for a turn to speak.

www.wilsonsofredmond.net

The Bend - La Pine School District, which owns the property, considers Troy Field to be surplus and wants to sell it. It comes across as rather mercenary, but faced with a budget shortfall, the school board claims it has the fiduciary duty to sell the property.

The estimated value of Troy Field is approximately $2 million. When the school district began shopping the parcel around to nonprofits, the city and the parks department, a counter offer came in below $1 million and was rejected. Soon enough, last June, an offer of $1.9 million materialized from the private sector with a Portland developer’s proposal to build tourist accommodations. The offer was accepted.

A quick change of the zoning and this sale would be fait accompli; that is, a done deal, especially with city planners

supporting the zoning change. However, an outside hearing officer, Ken Helm, a lawyer from Beaverton, noted the unique nature of Troy Field. He recommended City Council deny the zoning change, based on the school district not proving a public benefit for the change, nor a change in the neighborhood.

Nevertheless, he left the decision in the hands of City Council.

Troy Field, for more than 100 years, has been an open space at the heart of downtown Bend. The first Railroad Day celebration was held there in 1911, 25 years before Old St. Francis School was built and before many of the houses in the historic neighborhood were constructed. Troy Field was intentionally built around as a necessary open space even then. Going further back in time, Thomas Jefferson and the Continental Congress had the foresight to set aside land in each township for public schools and government with the Land Ordinance of 1785.

The City of Bend must not forfeit what little open space is left under its purview in downtown. As the price of land grows ever steeper, being priced out of the downtown market is not just likely, it may have already happened. Wise men and women with the power to do so make decisions for the people that are far-sighted and beneficial for generations to come. Mayor Clinton and City Council members will soon vote on the fate of Troy Field. Given the chance to make the honorable decision, they are trusted to do so. SW

C COMMENTARY

Letter to the BendLa Pine School Board

SIDE NOTES

By Sherron Lumley

Y

ou may have read the recent editorial in The Source (Feb. 4, 2016) regarding the “Counseling Crisis in Bend-La Pine Schools.” The editorial addressed both the significant increase in mental health issues within our school district and the lack of mental health resources district-wide, particularly in the counselor/student staffing ratio. As a recently retired high school counselor in the district, and as a teacher/counselor who worked in Bend-La Pine since 1979, I believe I can shed some light and historical perspective on how we got to this point.

Hopefully we can all agree that the current situation needs to be addressed. On the district website, we learn that we are the fifth largest school district in Oregon and currently have 17,534 students. The district has shared with our community the goal of being a “world-class” school system, yet there are only 23.5 counselors assigned to support and provide mental health services to our 17,534 students.

When you do the math, that equals one counselor for every 746 students. Currently, there are no elementary counselors in the district, and middle school and high school counseling ratios exceed 1 to 400. This presents a significant challenge to support children, families and teachers.

The editorial suggests that budget cuts during the recent Great Recession are the cause for the reduction in counseling services within the district; however, the reasons are a bit more nuanced. The elimination of elementary counseling and the establishment of big counselor ratios at the secondary level are the result of past staffing decisions by district administrators holding decidedly different philosophical views over the value of

school counselors and the importance of providing mental health services to children and families.

In the 1990s and before, Bend-LaPine assigned a counselor to every elementary school. The counselor’s role was multi-faceted and unique. Elementary counselors offered parenting classes, provided small-group support to students struggling with issues of divorce, depression, grief and loss, and taught classroom lessons focusing on social/ emotional issues and sexual abuse awareness and prevention. Counselors also provided support to teachers by working with troubled and at-risk students. It was a unique role and position: a person serving as an advocate for children and families, and a trained professional (most always with a master’s degree in counseling) providing a pivotal connecting point for mental health resources outside of the school system.

Over the past 20 years or so, the district leadership decided to proceed in a different direction. The superintendent established a counselor/student ratio of 1 to 400 at the secondary level, and most significantly, elementary counselors began to disappear, replaced by “student service” positions, roles frequently filled by staff members with no counselor training and often professionals who were viewed as administrators-in-training. In other words, a significant philosophical shift occurred; hiring more administrators over counselors became the preferred goal. This is not to suggest that student service staff members do not provide important support to elementary schools, or, that those positions are not needed in our elementary schools today. The philosophical message from district leaders

was clear that providing more counseling resources was not a priority. The 1 to 400 ratio at the high school level has not only impacted mental health support to students, but it also has made it difficult to provide counseling assistance to students transitioning to post graduation life, including the college search and application process.

The reduction of counseling and mental health resources for children and families in Bend - La Pine presents enormous challenges for those of us working most directly with children and families.

Three-Rivers Elementary, a K-8 school facing significant poverty and mental health challenges, has no counselor; the position was eliminated in 2010. Pilot Butte Middle School, a high-needs school with a large population of English-language learners and 65 percent receiving reduced or free lunch, has 1.5 counselors for nearly 700 students. La Pine High School, with over 400 students, has one counselor. The district’s current counselor/student ratio in my opinion reflects a lack of support for our most vulnerable children and families, and is a difficult position for the district to continue to defend.

The Bend-LaPine School District has an excellent school board. We have a new superintendent and administrative team that, I believe, are receptive to addressing this issue. Counseling ratios at the secondary level need to be reduced. Elementary counselor positions should be re-established in our schools. I encourage the school board to work collaboratively with district leaders, district counselors, parents and our community to address this issue.

Respectfully, Gary Whitley

TUMALO - The Bend Fire Department responded to a fire Saturday morning at Bend Research in Tumalo, Deputy Fire Marshal Dan Derlacki reported.

Two engines were sent to respond to the fire with seven total personnel at 64550 Research Rd. A fire was found in a room that contained internet servers, backup systems and the main fire alarm system. Bend Research is a cutting edge research and development firm for pharmaceutical-delivery technologies. It is a division of Capsugal.

“When crews arrived and entered the building they found smoke in the hallways and water coming from the fire sprinkler system. Upon investigation it was found that a small air conditioning unit had failed and started on fire. The cause of the failure was not determined. The fire in the small space quickly activated the fire sprinkler head, which kept the damage to a minimum,” Derlacki reported. Bend Research staff also responded to the fire.

“Working fire sprinkler and alarm systems in this building prevented this fire from spreading. This research facility has many high valuable machines and processes inside, many custom made.

Just the smoke from a larger fire could have ruined these devices,” said the deputy fire marshal. Bend Research’s staff will return to the building on Monday.

Oregon Legislative update The 2016 session draws to a close

HB 4124 Help for opioid epidemic, passed unanimously in House and Senate Rep. Buehler [R-Bend], announced the Oregon House voted unanimously to pass House Bill 4124, and the Senate followed, also voting unanimously to pass the bill on Feb. 29. HB 4124, introduced

by Buehler, addresses the opioid addiction epidemic in Oregon. It will give pharmacists permission to distribute the overdose reversal drug naloxone (sold under the brand name Narcan) without a prescription. It would also improve doctor database access to prevent over-prescribing prescription drugs. “Opioid addiction has become an epidemic and is continuing to spread. This disturbing trend has a very real human cost - one that I have seen firsthand far too often.

If this bill can save even one life, it will be worth it,” said Buehler, who is a medical doctor.

SB1532 Minimum wage, passed in Senate and House Senate Bill 1532 passed in the Oregon Legislature on Feb.18 and will increase the minimum wage beginning July 1, 2016, gradually through 2022. Though the bill has yet to reach Gov. Kate Brown’s desk, she said in a statement that minimum wage is one of her priorities.

“I started this conversation last fall, bringing stakeholders together to craft a workable proposal, one that gives working families the much-needed wage boost they need,” she said. “I look forward to signing this bill.”

Though the higher minimum wage will begin in July, full implementation of the bill will take six years. By 2022, the

Portland Metro area wage will be $14.75; counties surrounding Portland as well as Lane and Deschutes counties will see $13.50 per hour; and rural counties in eastern Oregon will reach $12.50 per hour.

Andrea Miller is the executive director of Causa, Oregon’s Latino immigration rights organization, and an executive committee member of the Raise the Wage coalition. She says the bill is a good start, but it won’t address all the challenges low wage workers are facing, including earning a living wage.

“There’s not one silver bullet that’s going to lift everybody out of poverty, but rather minimum wage and increasing it in this bill in particular is a great first step and will make a real impact in people’s lives,” she says.

HB 4060 Industrial hemp, passed in House and Senate The Oregon Senate voted 25-0 in favor of House Bill 4060, that previously passed the Oregon House 544. The bill will relax state laws for Oregon industrial hemp farming, clearing the way for research, greenhouse cultivation and less expensive testing. Federally, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden supports lifting the ban on hemp growing nationwide with the Industrial Hemp Farming Act.

SB 1517 Melissa’s Law, passed in Oregon Senate, heads to House Senate Bill 1517 passed unanimously in the senate on Friday with a vote of 28-0.

The bill dubbed Melissa’s law will allow for an additional $1.5 million to test sexual assault forensic evidence within a 21-day period of initial collection. Right now 5,652 SAFE kits are awaiting testing in Oregon. Chief bill sponsor Sen. Sara Gelser [D-Corvallis] said in a statement,

“When a sexual assault victim submits to an invasive and uncomfortable sexual assault examination, we have moral obligation to ensure that evidence is tested and used to pursue justice.” The bill will now be considered in the House.

sionary zoning, which requires builders to include a certain number of affordable housing units within each development.

The bill was sponsored by Dembrow and passed in the Senate 20 to 8. Bend’s Sen. Knopp voted against it.

SB 1600 No statute of limitations for first-degree sex crimes, passed in Senate

SB 1587 More accurate pay stubs to prevent wage theft

Sen. Knopp [R-Bend] is the chief sponsor of SB 1600, which would allow for an unlimited statute of limitations for first-degree sex crimes when supporting evidence is presented. It is not limited to physical evidence and can include a confession by the defendant such as statements or recordings.

“As a Chief Sponsor of SB 1600, I believe it is critical that we allow time for victims of first degree sex crimes to e come forward t u Kn when they are p. e R confident enough to do so,” said Knopp in a statement. The bill passed in the Senate and is awaiting reading in the House.

O

regon’s 2016 Legislative Session ends March 5. In the final days of the short even-year assembly, the fate of some of the most important bills will be decided while others will not reach the finish line. Melissa’s Law and affordable housing are two of the bills that could be decided in the final days of the annual assembly. Other bills have already passed both the House and Senate, including bills addressing minimum wage, industrial hemp and the opioid addiction crisis. Bend’s Sen. Tim Knopp and Rep. Knute Buehler each won initial victories for sponsored bills, now heading to votes in the House or Senate, respectively.

SB 1533 Affordable housing, passed by Senate “We are seeing a growing need for mixed-income developments in our cities, given the growing problem of middle-income workers and their families being priced out of the communities in which they work,” said Sen. Michael Dembrow [D-Portland] in a statement.

The Senate Majority Office clarifies, “In cases where communities choose to implement inclusionary zoning, their policies can only apply to new multifamily structures containing at least 20 housing units, and can require up to 20 percent of housing units to be sold or rented as affordable housing.”

Senate Bill 1533 lifts the ban on inclu-

Wage theft in Oregon is felt far and wide and affects every industry, says Dembrow. “It can be difficult to get a handle on the scope of the problem because all too often wage theft happens quietly.

Currently, Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) doesn’t have the manpower to do spot-checks and take other proactive steps to address wage and hour violations,” he says. “According to BOLI, the occupations where we see the most violations are construction (especially day laborers), restaurant/hospitality, and agriculture.”

Senate Bill 1587, sponsored by Sen. Dembrow, would require that paystubs be itemized and would expand the BOLI investigative team responsible for examining claims of unpaid and underpaid wages. “It aligns Oregon statutes around time and hour record-keeping with federal law, and ensures that every worker will receive a detailed and accurate paystub,” he explains. “It also makes certain violations of state prevailing wage law a Class C Felony, ensuring that when contractors cheat workers out of their wages there will be real consequences.”

Dembrow says wage theft has been an ongoing problem in the state. “Unfortunately, while most employers follow the law, there are enough bad apples out there that this issue has to always be on our radar screen,” he says. “SB 1587 builds off of work done on legislation during the 2015 session that didn’t make it across the finish line.”

Causa’s Miller says it will see the issue through to the 2017 session. “We know that many low wage workers, especially those workers of color and farm workers, experience what is known as wage theft,” she says. “That means that either they don’t get paid for all the hours they’ve worked, or that a portion of their salary isn’t in their check at the right time,” she explains. “There are some businesses that are not practicing wage law correctly and we want to address that issue next session,” she says.

Four Seasons of Family Fun in

A world away that’s close to home

Black Butte Stables continues a century-old tradition

Sunriver

By Angela Moore

T

he community of Sunriver is about 15 miles south of Bend, about a 20 to 30-minutes drive along Highway 97. The journey to Sunriver may be short, but it makes all the difference when trying to take a holiday for a weeklong staycation or even just for a quick weekend getaway. There are almost too many options for any one person to take in during one trip alone. Sunriver has year-round attractions that draw droves of people to this village that usually houses a modest full-time residential population of just around 1,500, compared to Bend’s more than 80,000 full-timers. With this small number of people calling Sunriver home, it is truly impressive to figure that about 20,000 people check in with the local tourist center each year.

The communications director of Central Oregon’s Visitors Association, Ted Taylor, says that not all of these travelers are from out of state, but rather they are people already living in Bend.

Not all who visit check in with these classic information offices nowadays due to the accessibility of apps and websites to help travelers plan their own itineraries. Taylor says there are about 2.5 million overnight visitors each year coming to enjoy the amenities that Sunriver has to offer. He also adds that during the peak summer season it’s estimated 15,000 people per day make their way through the shops and restaurants at The Village.

With spring break tipping off the busy tourist season, lodging accommodations fill up quickly, so booking a room or condo shouldn’t wait until the last minute. One of the most popular dwelling destinations is The Sunriver Resort. It’s basically a one-stop-shop in the heart of it all and is a first choice for most visitors coming to the area. One benefit to booking early is that it will be easier to plan the events around wherever “home” will be for the next few days.

When it comes to promoting reasons to travel to Bend’s southern neighbor, Taylor boasts of the amazing bike trails that connect within and throughout Sunriver. “There are about 40 miles of paved trails visitors can bike on once they enter the community.” If going off of the (semi-)beaten path is more appealing, then there is a variety of other scenic options that are sure to please.

There are many nature-oriented options that are great for the whole family or just for those looking to expand their minds and enthrall their senses.

The Oregon Observatory, Sunriver Nature Center, and Resort Golf Course are some of the most popular attractions. Not all are open year-round, due to weather, so it’s wise to check the hours and availability. Whether spas, fine-dining, and shopping are the priority or more of an active getaway is preferred, Sunriver fits the bill for many in Bend who would like to explore a bit more of their not-so-far-away surroundings.

When asked why the Maragas family chose Central Oregon for its winery, the answer was simple. “First, we loved the area,” Maragas says. “Next, when we came here, there were no vineyards, so the land at that time was less expensive than comparable lands where we could grow grapes. The area is amazingly similar to our family vineyard in Crete volcanic sandy loam soil, dry summers, and lots of sun,” he says.

Lit-folk quartet Darlingside amazes

K

anye West’s “The Life of Pablo”(TLOP), released Feb. 14, is an audacious, layered piece of work that finally sees West deciding not to make a huge statement, but instead looking inward and giving us a chance to relate and empathize instead of judge.

Whether his hijinks in the media are performance art or the shouts of an unquiet mind, his new work is an explosive collision of sound on wax.

H

earing Darlingside find its sound over the course of two full-length albums and an EP is astounding. The biggest change being that, between the first full-length album and the second, the group went from being a quintet to a quartet, losing a drummer, but finding something approaching excellence.

Darlingside is made up of Dave Senft on bass, Don Mitchell on guitar and banjo, Auyon Mukharji on classical violin and folk mandolin, Harris Paseltiner on cello and guitar and, for those first two records, Sam Kapala on drums. They met at Williams College where they were in singing groups and cover bands with one another.

With 2015’s “Birds Say,” Darlingside lost Sam Kapala. That isn’t to say Kapala’s drumming isn’t fantastic, because it is, but forcing the rhythm out of the other

instruments and all four voices takes the band to a different level. The album is at turns epic and intimate, familiar and unknowable. Tracks like “The Ancestor” and “Harrison Ford” have a scope that none of their work has shown before.

Mukharji’s violin is clearer, Mitchell’s banjo is more experimental, Paseltiner’s cello is fuller and Senft’s bass is playfully exploring the landscape.

“Birds Say” is the band saying they aren’t like anyone else and they refuse comparison. There are folk influences and pop influences here, but none of it comes out in the sound. It is impossible to listen to the album and point to any one influence.

Mostly this is because of the absolutely dynamic songwriting which has somehow become even stronger.

The lyrics are haunting and unforgettable, such as “Only, only time, only

NATURAL MIND

time will tell if you’re the sea itself/or an echoing shell,” or “Yes, we will leave here without a trace/take a new name and an old shape/I’ll be no outlaw, no renegade/ just your faithful god of loss/so meet me by the river/on a boat-shaped piece of Earth/we press our bones together/and the spider does its work.”

These four musical minds meld perfectly and seem like inevitable extensions of one another. Mitchell says the group has transitioned toward collaboration from square one with each song becoming distinct from the others naturally. Judging from “Birds Say,” this works beautifully.

The direct comparison to Pablo Picasso and West’s claim to be the greatest living artist make more sense when considering he’s already won 21 Grammies, more than anyone else in history. He’s also one of the top-selling artists of all time and like many other famous artists in history he is weird, outspoken, impulsive and egotistical. He’s often dismissed as just another narcissistic icon, but in reality he’s no more or less ridiculous than Madonna, but with much more to say.

West became progressively more experimental with “808s & Heartbreak” in 2008, followed by the 2010 release of “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” living up to his potential as a rapper and producer. “Yeezus” in ‘13 debuted at number one on Billboard and topped charts and sales records around the world from Australia to Germany. It propelled him to avant-garde hip-hop status and gave him enough cred to experiment as much as he wanted as an artist.

“The Life of Pablo,” West's seventh album, takes every sound and every genre he’s ever tried and wraps it together in a messy, brilliant operating theater examination of Kanye West’s heart, head and soul. The album opener “Ultralight Beam” brings church gospel vocals into a stripped down production with a great verse from Chance the Rapper. “Famous” disses on Taylor Swift but has a complicated beat that drops into a flipped “Bam Bam” by Sister Nancy halfway through while sporting an amazing Rihanna hook, while “Feedback” is confessional. He raps, “I’ve been out of my mind for a long time. I’ve been saying how I feel at the wrong time,” and we understand.

Rebelution’s DIY reggae returns

T

he best way to describe Rebelution’s sound is White Jam Band Reggae.

There are aspects of roots reggae, Santana-esque electric guitar solos and California easy listening involved as well, so it’s pretty hard to lock down exactly what Rebelution is after when it comes to its sound. However, since they had the best selling reggae album of the year in 2014, whatever they are up to is working.

Rebelution formed in Isla Vista, a beachside community near Santa Barbara, Calif., in the early 2000s. The group slowly but surely built up a passionate local fan base with a self-released EP and constant touring throughout 2004 and 2005. Then in 2007, the full-length album “Courage to Grow” peaked at #4 on the Billboard Top Reggae Albums chart. The album is message heavy, with singer Eric Rachmany focusing on positivity and preaching that people using their minds for good is the only way to live. The album is mostly a laid back reggae throwback with a few solid stabs at dub and, smartly, “Courage to Grow” deftly avoids getting caught up in any ska punk pitfalls.

In 2009, Rebelution released “Bright Side of Life,” an album that definitely eases into their roots reggae sound while embracing dub even more. Tracks like “Dubzilla” and “More Than Dub” easily could be mistaken for late-1980s music

by Jamaican Lee “Scratch” Perry. The album isn’t a marked progression from “Courage to Grow,” but why fix something if it isn’t broken? “Bright Side of Life” chooses not to protest anything, but instead preaches to the choir for a better way to live.

In 2012, “Peace of Mind,” released through the band’s own record label, 87 Music, debuted at #13 on the Billboard top 200 charts and sold 16,000 copies in its first week. The deluxe version of the

album swings for the fences as it contains the studio versions of each track, as well as acoustic versions and dub versions. Truthfully, the dub and acoustic versions of each song sound better than the originals, as the focus on the musicality of the band works much better without the preachiness. Rachmany’s guitar, Rory Carey’s keyboards, Marley D. Williams’ bass and Wesley Finley’s drums are much more pronounced in the instrumental versions of the tracks and it’s easy to see why the group’s live shows are so popular.

Rebelution’s latest album is 2014’s “Count Me In,” which gave the band its third consecutive #1 album on the Billboard Reggae charts. “Count Me In” dives headfirst into the dancehall reggae trappings of pioneers like Beenie Man, Buju Banton and Barrington Levy.

The record balances the lyrical content, horns and the band’s tightness to the best effect yet. There is a confidence to the record that earlier work lacks.

California-ized reggae doesn’t need to be seen as a negative since the cultural appropriation isn’t part of the message.

Though Rebelution is singing the anti-Babylon Rastafari message of focusing more on love instead of capitalism, they are unlike Caribbean-style reggae artists who focus on issues of life and death.

Rebelution is singing from the heart in a genre that each member seems to care about deeply. “Count Me In” is the best argument for the band’s place in the pantheon. It’s simple reggae music without cynicism, but with plenty of respect for what has come before. SW Rebelution Friday, March 4, 8 p.m.

Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi to speak

By Angela Moore 27 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 09 / March 3 , 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The MUSE Conference begins its fourth year on Friday and runs through Sunday. Photos Courtesy of World Muse.

T

he World Economic Forum ranks the United States #20 out of 142 countries for gender equality based on disparity in pay, education, health and politics. We fall behind countries such as Nicaragua, Rwanda and South Africa in the study conducted annually by the Swiss nonprofit.

World MUSE is an organization that works to empower women with the mission of sparking positive change. March 4 will mark the beginning of the annual three-day conference held in downtown Bend, now in its fourth year. MUSE founder Amanda Stuermer brings women leaders from around the world to Bend, sharing insight, ideas and experiences to inspire personal growth here at home and in the world beyond.

Nobel Peace Prize winner Shirin Ebadi will be the keynote speaker this year. She is a human rights activist who founded the Defenders of Human Rights Center in Iran, where she was the country’s first female judge prior to the 1979 Iranian revolution. She now lives in exile, devoting her life to giving a voice to women, children, and refugees. Ebadi travels the world working with other female Nobel Laureates. “We use all our power to spotlight the situation of women around the world,” she told the Source.

Considered to be one of the most influential women of all time, Ebadi wants those who hear her speech to be able to walk away and still retain the knowledge and motivation for change even after they have parted ways. “Human rights is a culture,” she says. Her most important takeaway message is “difficulties and challenges should not prevent us from carrying out our activities.” She also

would like the world to be aware of the struggle women face in Iran. The Muse Conference isn’t her first stop nor will it be her last. Her fight for gender equality and democracy is her life purpose. “I have worked hard to amend discriminatory laws and practices in my country and I will continue to fight until we are free,” Ebadi says.

The opening day of the conference falls on First Friday and the evening will be very much art-oriented. The Muse Art Show, along with a teen photo exhibit, and an art walk downtown will commence following the day’s salon series of workshops. Artist Sheila Dunn is one of the local artists whose work will be featured. Dunn moved to Bend in 2010 and says she wants her art to “express the beauty, strength and depth of the feminine spirit and the unique power found only in vulnerability and openness.” Feminism is often a word people shy away from, but this isn’t the case for Dunn, not in the least. “The belief that all women, everywhere, deserve the same rights, same pay, same amount of respect and same opportunities as men? Yes, I’m a feminist, and I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t be.”

Unfortunately, in the U.S., the gender pay gap persists. In 2015, women earned $.78 on the dollar compared to men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The gap narrowed by just 1.5 cents in the last five years. Yet, women are the breadwinners in 40 percent of households with children. For Latina women, the difference in pay is even more pronounced, just $.56 on the dollar.

The momentum of women’s rights in the last century doesn’t have to slow

to a halt. MUSE looked for a voice to represent the next generation and found it in Fiona Dolan. It’s safe to say that at 16, she will be the youngest presenter at Muse. Dolan, a junior at Summit High School in Bend, is a role model beyond her years. Dolan founded the Social Empowerment Club at Summit and contributed to the book, “You’re The Best,” by her elders, the Dolan “Satellite Sisters.” Although young, Dolan is able to give insight drawing from the everyday experiences of high school.

The Social Empowerment Club works with a variety of organizations, including MUSE, with the intention of promoting discussion on issues affecting society today. She makes it a point to include males in the group and would like people to think twice about not just underestimating females, but also teenagers.

In addition to MUSE, there are smaller events happening all over the community and state that share the same goal of empowerment, ranging from formal groups to online chat rooms. The conversation has begun. Women have come a long way, however, it’s not nearly enough.

“I want my daughter to grow up to have the same opportunities as my sons,” says MUSE founder Stuermer. It’s as simple as that. The day when these conferences become more of a recreational affair than a necessity is when women can say that the good fight has been fought and the good fight has been won. SW Tickets to the full MUSE Conference are $368.

Twenty percent of the tickets have been awarded as grants, allowing people of all ages and income levels to attend.

Why Wallow?

Hunt down a good meal in Sunriver

Visitors will find a wide assortment of burgers and other comfort foods at The Wallow Bar & Grill in Sunriver. Photos courtesy of The Wallow Bar & Grill.

S

unriver is just a hop, skip, and a small jump away from Bend. About fifteen miles south of town, this rural area has a bit of a reputation for being a resort destination. Not to say that isn’t part of it, but it’s not limited to just that.

There are many residents of Sunriver who live there year-round. Most of the eateries available are located in The Village, which has come to be known as a high-end community center. Though occasionally visiting these shops and restaurants can be a treat, it is only in the last couple of years that there has been an increase in culinary choices within the greater Sunriver community. The Wallow Bar & Grill is one of these places.

Opening its doors in October 2014, The Wallow serves affordable homestyle

meals in a friendly, relaxed environment.

Sunriver resident and owner of The Wallow Greg Farfaglia says he and his wife, “…had run out of places to eat around here.” They didn’t want to wait around for an hour or so for a hamburger in The Village that cost more than they thought to be fair. “It’s nothing against the places over there,” says Farfaglia, “It’s just that it wasn’t for us.” When the property opened up near their home, this already wellversed business owner saw his chance to give residents what he had been searching for, an affordable everyday dining option.

The menu is inspired primarily by homestyle cooking. Think burgers, brews, and classic comfort foods like macaroni and cheese, a prime rib French dip, and wings, all with a Wallow twist. It should be men-

tioned, as well, that burger options are not just limited to regular beef burgers.

This area is home to some of Oregon’s most avid fisherman and huntsman, and Farfaglia acknowledges them with a couple of not-so-everyday meats deliciously accessible through burger. Bison and Elk game burgers are available as well as beef or chicken for those who are more classically-inclined in their meals.

The atmosphere is appropriately ranchstyle, with a bar at the center of it all and tables available to seat couples on a date or families celebrating an event. Beer signs and hunting trophies decorate the walls, but don’t feel overwhelming for patrons who prefer to hunt and gather their meals at eateries and shops.

Peanut butter — ­ it's not just for sandwiches anymore. Photo by Kevin Gifford

E

verybody (who isn’t allergic to it) likes peanut butter. What’s the first type of candy to disappear from the office candy bowl on Halloween? What’s the first kind to disappear ahead of all the others? Hint: it’s not Jolly Ranchers—it’s those sweet, sweet peanut butter cups. The allure turns anyone into a child again.

Naturally then, it made its way into beer. Though a young genre, brewers across the U.S. have been going all Skippy and Jif with their darker ale varieties for several years now. The first very successful commercial release was Sweet Baby Jesus! by Maryland’s DuClaw Brewing Company in 2011.

Peanut butter isn’t just spooned into the mash, though, because the oils in plain old peanuts would make the resulting beer incapable of retaining a foamy head. Instead, brewers tend to use peanut extract or peanut butter powder.

(That’s why the labels for these beers usually say “peanut butter flavor.”)

Wild Ride in Redmond recently joined the fray with Nut Crusher, a peanut butter porter that’s now widely available around the region in kegs and 22-ounce

bottles. It looks like a dark, foreboding ale when first poured, but not to fear for those who are not fans of heavy porters.

That’s because the unmistakable aroma of peanut butter greets the senses first when bringing the glass to the mouth.

Much like Southern Tier’s line of heavily-flavored adjunct stouts (Pumking, anyone?), Nut Crusher is a beer that’s almost as fun, if not more fun, to sniff for a while before actually drinking it.

Upon first taste, it surprises with its approachability as a nice, caramel-y porter with just a twinge of peanut to it.

Life�is�Beautiful

It’s a well put-together package, but one that now has competition from one of the genre’s old guard. Belching Beaver Brewery, based out of San Diego County, debuted in Central Oregon not long ago, and a few local bottle shops now offer their Peanut Butter Milk Stout.

Although not as heavy as Nut Crusher (just 5.3% alcohol by volume), it shares many of the same elements—light roast and intense peanuts, with the lactose giving it a bit of a smoother mouth feel.

Doing a taste test of both might be a good idea, but keep it in moderation.

Otherwise, your stomach may feel like you ate all the Reese’s out of the bowl. SW

OUTSIDE Central Oregon’s Underground World

GO HERE

By Brian Jennings

Lava flows 80,000 years ago created the Redmond Caves

31

Bend Park and Rec Fitness Hikes

In the photo at right, Greg Currie, left, of the BLM, talks caves with Matt Skeels of High Desert Grotto. Photos by Brian Jennings.

M

att Skeels of Bend likes to explore the underworld of Central Oregon. As a member of the Oregon High Desert Grotto, Skeels is a guardian of Central Oregon’s caves.

Having discovered a number of caves over the years, his peers call him the “cave finder” and the “cave bloodhound.”

For Skeels, cave exploration is special because of the mystery involved. “They provide a unique environment you can’t find anywhere else. There’s also the element of surprise in finding something that no one else has found or even seen,” he says. Skeels says Deschutes County has 690 caves – the most in the state.

In actuality, he thinks the number is far greater as more are discovered each year. The majority of Central Oregon’s caves are part of lava tubes which developed 80,000 years ago, spreading from Newberry Crater located 30 miles southeast of Bend. The Redmond Caves are thought to be at the northern edge of the Newberry lava flows.

Located an easy stroll off Airport Way near the Redmond Airport, there is a series of five caves on a 40-acre parcel within the Redmond city limits but on

federal BLM land. Known by locals for decades, there were many proposals on how the caves should be used, with ideas ranging from fallout shelters to mushroom farming, and even a landfill.

In 1995 the caves were designated as “significant” under the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act. Today the area is fenced with gates, and motorized travel has been banned to help protect the caves which can easily be explored on foot during daytime hours.

“This Cave is probably 400 feet long,” Skeels says in describing the largest of the caves. “These caves have definitely been used by Native Americans over the centuries,” he adds. Based on archeological evidence, BLM’s Greg Currie speculates that the caves were used as a stopping point by natives who camped there while traveling through the region.

Skeels has solid advice for those who want to explore Central Oregon’s many caves. He encourages everyone to wear a lighted hard helmet for head protection, and bring along spare lights for backup. Lava formations can be fragile, he explains. “If someone breaks a rock for-

mation, it’s gone for good. It can’t grow back like in a limestone cave.” He also advises against the temptation to build fires in enclosed cave areas as it depletes oxygen and tarnishes rock walls.

As populations increase and Urban Growth boundaries expand closer to the 40-acre site, both men worry about conserving the special caves. “This Cave is unique because it’s within the city limits of Redmond,” notes Currie. “In the short term, fencing the site has helped reduce the number of garbage sites that were cleaned up,” he says. Currie adds that the Bureau of Land Management is trying to inform people about the site to make it a place for people to come to learn about natural resources and the history of the area.

As airplanes buzz overhead, departing and landing at nearby Redmond Airport, Skeels sees some challenges ahead to protect the caves as more people discover them. “We need to educate people on how to go caving so everyone can enjoy this special place for generations to come,” he says. SW

With spring around the corner, many people will turn their attention to spring hiking and the Bend Park and Recreation Department offers a number of opportunities. Several fitness hikes are being offered every Tuesday beginning in April and continuing through May from 9:30 am until 2:30 pm. These trips cover three to five miles at a moderate pace and take in many of Central Oregon’s favorite trails including Smith Rock, Suttle Lake, Paulina Creek, Skeleton Cave, and Skyliner Creek. The cost is $22 per session for in-district residents, or $26 for others.

For those 50 and older, “Rainbow Seekers Hikes” will be offered Tuesdays beginning March 15 and continuing through April 5. These hikes traverse from five to seven miles over easy to moderate trails at a comfortable pace. Session fees are $72 for in-district residents and $86 for those living outside of the district.

For those wanting a more vigorous hike, the “Trailpacers Hikes” cover seven to 10 miles at a steady pace with moderate elevation gains. These hikes are offered every Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Sessions are offered from April 7 to 21, April 28 to May 12, and May 19 to June 2. The fee for in-district residents is $69 and for out-of-district participants it’s $83.

For those who may be interested in a bit of history and lore along with their hikes, BPRD is offering “Trails & Tales Hikes,” April 18 to 25, and May 2 to 9.

These three to five-mile hikes discuss the region’s past while exploring different historic outings. In-district cost is $50 and out of district is $60. SW For more information on these hiking opportunities, call BPRD at 541-389-7275, or visit bendparksandrec.org.

—Bad History Aww, a relationship with an accounts receivable department.

Your ex’s human abacus approach—running a relationship on the “Hey, what’s in it for me?” model—doesn’t bode well for happily ever after, and not just because it makes it hard to tell your girlfriend apart from one of those aggressive strangers who call at dinnertime, threatening to repo your car.

Social psychologist Margaret S. Clark explains that partners are more loving and generous toward each other when a relationship runs on the “communal” model (which describes love or friendship) rather than the “exchange” model (the merchant-customer relationship). The main difference between these relationship types is in the motivations for giving and the expectations in the wake of it. You give to somebody you love—like by giving your honey a massage—to make her feel good; you don’t wipe the lotion off your hands and then hand her a bill for $80.

Love relationships are often not entirely 50/50, and the payback from a romantic partner often comes in different ways and at a later date, and that’s okay. In an exchange relationship, however, people give to get. There’s careful accounting and speedy invoicing. When the mechanic fixes your bum tire, immediately after doing the work, he expects equivalent compensation—in cold, hard cash (or plastic).

You can’t just kiss him on the cheek, chirp, “Thanks, cookieface!” and be on your way.

Looking back at your relationship with your ex, ask yourself something: Why did she view popping over with a cooler at lunchtime—probably containing sandwiches and a Snapple—like she’d brought you her left kidney? Maybe she’s bean countery in all of her relationships. Or… maybe this reflects Clark’s finding that people in relationships switch to an “exchange norm” when they notice that their partner is all take and take.

In your current relationship, remind yourself to credit your girlfriend for who she is—which you do by observing her actions and attitude—instead of fearing who

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Calm I used to have a terrible temper. My girlfriend never experienced it, because I did major therapy before meeting her. Now, when I get upset, I step back, consider whether my beef is legit, and then think about how I can present it calmly. My girlfriend, who gets frustrated that I can’t always discuss things immediately, says I “bottle up” my feelings.

—Formerly Volcanic Rarely do you hear someone say, “So, I ran the issue by my therapist, made a list of pros and cons, meditated on it…and then went out and put a bat through the guy’s windshield.”

Admirably, instead of continuing to lose your temper, you got it a little red leather collar, and now you just walk it out of the room on a matching red leash. This doesn’t mean you “bottle up” your feelings. You’re simply giving reason first crack at your problems—which doesn’t exactly come naturally. Psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky explain that we have two thinking systems: a fast-responding emotional system and a slower rational system. Your rational system does come around eventually—typically, just in time to grab a broom and dustpan to sweep up the pieces of the job or relationship that your trigger-happy emotional system just exploded.

Because relationships are happier when those in them feel understood and appreciated, it seems you need to give your girlfriend the details on where you were and how far you’ve come. (Whaddya know, you didn’t spend those court-mandated anger management sessions with headphones on listening to Metallica.) Explaining this to her should help her understand that when you’re mulling things over, she isn’t waiting; she’s benefiting. Maybe you’ll get speedier at the reasoning process in time, but rushing you out of your coolout corner is a bit like saying, “Hey, let’s make conflict resolution more like drunk dialing!”

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 09 / March 3 , 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I’m in a new relationship with the sweetest, most generous girl, but I’m hesitant to let her do nice stuff for me. In my previous relationship, every single nice thing my ex did was held against me later.

I can hear her now: “Remember that time I brought you food at work? All the way across town?” Eventually, I’d wince anytime she did anything for me. However, my new girlfriend seems so happy to make me food or run an errand for me.

Still, I feel uneasy. I keep waiting for her to turn into my ex and present me with a list of what I owe her.

she might be. You should also make sure you’re holding up your part of the giving.

But give for the right reason: to make her happy -- and not because you can’t bear to hear another woman yelling, “Owe, owe, owe!” during sex.

ASTROLOGY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I wish I knew

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “He in his madness prays for storms, and dreams that storms will bring him peace,” wrote Leo Tolstoy in his novella The Death of Ivan Ilych. The weird thing is, Aries, that this seemingly crazy strategy might actually work for you in the coming days. The storms you pray for, the tempests you activate through the power of your longing, could work marvels. They might clear away the emotional congestion, zap the angst, and usher you into a period of dynamic peace.

So I say: Dare to be gusty and blustery and turbulent.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Quoting poet W. H. Auden, author Maura Kelly says there are two kinds of poets: argument-makers and beauty-makers. I think that’s an interesting way to categorize all humans, not just poets.

Which are you? Even if you usually tend to be more of an argument-maker, I urge you to be an intense beauty-maker in the next few weeks. And if you’re already a pretty good beauty-maker, I challenge you to become, at least temporarily, a great beauty-maker.

One more thing: As much as possible, until April 1, choose beauty-makers as your companions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To have any hope of becoming an expert in your chosen field, you’ve got to labor for at least 10,000 hours to develop the necessary skills—the equivalent of 30 hours a week for six and a half years.

But according to author William Deresiewicz, many young graphic designers no longer abide by that rule. They regard it as more essential to cultivate a network of connections than to perfect their artistic mastery. Getting 10,000 contacts is their priority, not working 10,000 hours. But I advise you not to use that approach in the coming months, Gemini.

According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will be better served by improving what you do rather than by increasing how many people you know.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “I sit before flowers, hoping they will train me in the art of opening up,” says poet Shane Koyczan. “I stand on mountain tops believing that avalanches will teach me to let go.” I recommend his strategy to you in the coming weeks, Cancerian.

Put yourself in the presence of natural forces that will inspire you to do what you need to do. Seek the companionship of people and animals whose wisdom and style you want to absorb. Be sufficiently humble to learn from the whole wide world through the art of imitation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The marathon is a long-distance footrace with an official length of over 26 miles. Adults who are physically fit and well-trained can finish the course in five hours. But I want to call your attention to a much longer running event: the Self-Transcendence 3100-Mile Race. It begins every June in Queens, a borough of New York, and lasts until August. Those who participate do 3,100 miles’ worth of laps around a single city block, or about 100 laps per day. I think that this is an apt metaphor for the work you now have ahead of you. You must cover a lot of ground as you accomplish a big project, but without traveling far and wide. Your task is to be dogged and persistent as you do a little at a time, never risking exhaustion, always pacing yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In old Vietnamese folklore, croaking frogs were a negative symbol. They were thought to resemble dull teachers who go on and on with their bor-

ing and pointless lectures. But in many other cultures, frogs have been symbols of regeneration and resurrection due to the dramatic transformations they make from egg to tadpole to full-grown adult. In ancient India, choruses of croaks were a sign of winter’s end, when spring rains arrived to fertilize the earth and bestow a promise of the growth to come.

I suspect that the frog will be one of your emblems in the coming weeks, Virgo—for all of the above reasons. Your task is to overcome the boring stories and messages so as to accomplish your lively transformations.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Your anger is a gift.” So proclaims musician and activist Zack de la Rocha, singer in the band Rage Against the Machine. That statement is true for him on at least two levels. His fury about the systemic corruption that infects American politics has roused him to create many successful songs and enabled him to earn a very good living. I don’t think anger is always a gift for all of us, however. Too often, especially when it’s motivated by petty issues, it’s a self-indulgent waste of energy that can literally make us sick.

Having said that, I do suspect that your anger in the coming week will be more like de la Rocha’s: productive, clarifying, healthy.

Gentle, Effective Health Care I strongly believe in each person’s ability to discover their full health potential.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist,” says novelist Nicole Krauss. In the coming weeks, I suspect you will provide vivid evidence of her declaration, Scorpio. You may generate an unprecedented number of novel emotions—complex flutters and flows and gyrations that have never before been experienced by anyone in the history of civilization. I think it’s important that you acknowledge and celebrate them as being unique—that you refrain from comparing them to feelings you’ve had in the past or feelings that other people have had. To harvest their full blessing, treat them as marvelous mysteries.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Look at yourself then,” advised author Ray Bradbury.

“Consider everything you have fed yourself over the years. Was it a banquet or a starvation diet?” He wasn’t talking about literal food.

He was referring to the experiences you provide yourself with, to the people you bring into your life, to the sights and sounds and ideas you allow to pour into your precious imagination. Now would be an excellent time to take inventory of this essential question, Sagittarius. And if you find there is anything lacking in what you feed yourself, make changes!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to a report in the journal Science, most of us devote half of our waking time to thinking about something besides the activity we’re actually engaged in. We seem to love to ruminate about what used to be and what might have been and what could possibly be. Would you consider reducing that amount in the next 15 days, Capricorn? If you can manage to cut it down even a little, I bet you will accomplish small feats of magic that stabilize and invigorate your future. Not only that: You will feel stronger and smarter. You’ll have more energy. You’ll have an excellent chance to form an enduring habit of staying more focused on the here and now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): One of the legal financial scams that shattered the world economy in 2008 was a product called a Collateralized Debt Obligation Squared. It was sold widely, even though noted economist Ha-Joon Chang says that potential buyers had to read a billion pages of documents if they hoped to understand it. In the coming weeks, I think it’s crucial that you Aquarians avoid getting involved with stuff like that—with anything or anyone requiring such vast amounts of homework. If it’s too complex to evaluate accurately, stay uncommitted, at least for now.

Spring’s Tight Market is Coming Early

NAR also released a list of the 20 hottest housing markets. The rankings were based on the number of listing views by market to determine these rankings.

Though Bend would not get included in such a list due to numbers, major metro areas in the west do make the list consistently, with San Francisco being on top and Portland ranked at 16, nationwide.

Whereas Bend is far and different from San Francisco and many of these larger urban markets, we can learn a lot from common issues such as housing affordability, shortage of housing inventory

and investor activity. Key issues include increased activity in real estate with the stock market decline and foreign investment in U.S. real estate markets, particularly from Chinese investors. The foreign investors are mainly involved in commercial real estate and higher end housing, but that will likely slow now with Chinese government restrictions.

Domestic investors fleeing the stock market tend to gravitate toward lower priced starter homes. The downside of this is that it can contribute to the affordable housing inventory shortage.

According to an article recently published in Housing Wire citing personal finance company Smart Asset, San Francisco millennials have the lowest buying power in the country with the typical millennial only able to afford 135 square feet. On a notably smaller scale, the early pre-spring demand indicates this trend may be moving to Central Oregon. SW

BEND’S PREMIERE DOWNTOWN DISPENSARY

However, the Schedule 1 classification has essentially prevented funding for more high-quality scientific research on cannabis, especially studies that examine potential benefits. The Drug Enforcement Agency has repeatedly rejected or delayed scientists’ requests for access to the federally-controlled supply of cannabis for research purposes.

This has created a paradox for cannabis research: Because cannabis has been deemed to be dangerous with no medical benefit, no one can legally study whether it is actually dangerous and/ or has medical benefit. Essentially, the Schedule 1 listing is standing in the way of knowing the truth about cannabis.

Such research, if it could ever be done, would be the basis for changing (or not changing) federal law and policy on cannabis.

That’s why eyebrows were raised this week when former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder told PBS Frontline, “I certainly think it

Obama has not been shy about taking action when he perceives a need, using his executive authority to address high-profile issues such as illegal immigration e rn and gun violence. o t At er m On cannabis, Obama For has declined to act. c Ho lder

President Obama has declined to say whether he believes cannabis should be rescheduled, but he has said that rescheduling is a job for Congress.

However, the law gives both the Attorney General and the Drug Enforcement Administration, which are federal offices that answer to the President, authority to change the scheduling of a drug.

en

Lots of New Flower!!!

federal law known as the Controlled Substances Act sets cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug, meaning that it is considered to be a dangerous substance with no accepted medical value. By comparison, cocaine, meth, and hydrocodone are Schedule 2 drugs, meaning they are deemed less dangerous than cannabis under this law. In the 44 years since the Schedule 1 classification, there have been numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies suggesting both that cannabis is not dangerous and does have some medical benefits.
