OPINION Letters

Climate change should be at the forefront of the Bend City Council’s attention also because without measures to prevent it, all other responsibilities of the government become moot. If climate change is allowed to spiral out of control, there will be no clean air left to breathe, extreme natural disasters will wreak havoc, and thousands of square miles of land will be submerged. It will be too late. Conversely, if Climate Action legislation is passed and a plan is successfully formed in its wake, then the council will face less conflict from the damage climate change will no longer continue to inflict upon Central Oregon. This may seem exaggerated. How can Bend alone brighten the future of our youth? With the passing of Climate Action legislation, Bend will inspire other communities across the world and other youth to fight for their right to a healthy atmosphere and stable climate. Concerned citizens in Bend were inspired by communities like Fort Collins, Colorado and Eugene, Oregon; Bend could just as easily be renowned for its commitment to sustainable living. The Bend Climate Action legislation is an opportunity to educate, collaborate, and reform to face the issues of our day. As many famed historical figures have articulated, “Every crisis is an opportunity.” Let Bend seize this opportunity.

—Kyra Kladhim

IN RESPONSE TO, “BEND’S GROWTH RATE: SCARY OF SUSTAINABLE?” (8/10): Your recent article on Bend’s growth illustrates why so many of our citizens are disillusioned with out political and economic leaders. Consider that Roger Lee and Tim Knopp both benefit economically by rapid population growth, as do many city and county personnel and school managers. The larger the populations, the more they are paid. Concerns of ordinary citizens about traffic congestions, disrupted neighborhoods due to overbuilding of new units, a declining deer population due to growth and a general decline in the quality of the natural environment are ignored, or dismissed by city leaders. A 3 percent or 4 percent growth rate is held up at a desirable which, according to the “rule of 69” means our population will double every 23 years, or 170,000 by 2040. How many ordinary citizens think that growth is a good thing? Mr. Abernathy needs to define what the “Bend Feel” is. Those of us who were born and raised here more than 50 years ago can testify that whatever “feel” Bend had, it is long gone. I suggest the Source interview members of the Pioneer Association for a more balanced view. It is

5 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 36 / September 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

It’s time for Bend to make sustainable living a priority. Climate change is knocking on our doors, and the community cares about preventing it. Youth especially. Climate Action legislation is the perfect way for this generation of voters to act out of their concern for the future of their children. The City Council of Bend needs to adopt legislation because youth deserve the commitment of their government to protect their natural resources.

amazing how many people move to the “beautiful” town of Bend and the first thing they want to do is change things. Finally, we need to remember that we live in the high desert and water is a finite resource. With global warming, water may decline as we continue to experience a sky rocketing population. Why don’t our leaders ever mention this? I will not vote for a potential council member who supports, or encourages this un-sustainable growth rate.

—John Russell

IN RESPONSE TO KYLEANNE’S LETTER, “OPEN LETTER TO WALDEN,” (8/17): Dear Ms. Hunter, I, as a veteran myself, was also moved by the speech of Ms. Pat Smith who also lost a son in service for his country. Hillary needs to be called out as well for lying to her about how her son died and for the time wasted on deciding whether to wear uniforms or not while the attack was under way. Your criticism must be fair.

—Kevin James via bendsource.com

IN RESPONSE TO, “FROM COMMUNITY ACTIVIST TO LONGTIME MAYOR,” (8/31): I think it’s time Mr. Clinton stepped down. Property taxes have risen over 40 percent since 2008. People who are buying newly built cookie cutter homes for $300,000 (are) paying more property taxes than the guy coming in from California buying older Westside homes on Drake Park at $700,000, paying less property taxes then Eastside dinky tacky built home owners. Yet, this guy wants to raise your taxes every time you turn around. Bend needs to stay nice, yes, but at what tune and to whom? Westside homeowners reap most of the city improvements...yet their property taxes are lower then new homeowners on the Eastside? This guy wanted to impose a gas tax because the complaint is there is no money for roads, but then the gas tax voted down and guess what? Oh, we have money now! The problem with Bend politicians, are they want to turn this city into some kind of outdoor wonder city park and increase your taxes for Bend Park & Recreation, yet they have no money budgeted for roads. How irresponsible of our leaders. It’s terrible. What Bend is really about is its natural beauty. What is surrounding this city is what is attractive...not the taxes that are increasing every year. We do not need a rapids park when you have a whole bunch of natural ones right down the road for FREE. Hello? Who are these people and where do they come from? PLEASE, think about the future and the people who have lived and created Bend for the many years ago when nobody wanted to live here back then. Seriously.

You approached me with your car, I thought you’d recognize me as a human on bike; but alas you did not see me.

and in that moment of the here-and-now—a human...on a bike. You kept staring into that screen, into the circle, around the circle, through your turn and as you glided forward in your green metal chamber onto the street ahead. Our untimely and potentially destructive connection was missed. Next time on a beautiful evening try to stare out at the world, notice who and what surrounds you, maybe we will meet eye to eye and you will see who I am. I pray you put your phone down so that you see my son, his friends, and all other humans on bikes, as equally worthy of the attention you gave that glorious evening to your glowing screen.

Grad-Level Education Desert No More

ot only is it back to school week at public schools in Central Oregon, it’s also just a few mere days from the opening of the first four-year university in the region. It’s a significant occasion, and one with great economic and cultural impacts for the city of Bend and the surrounding area. But like many of the pervasive issues that get talked about in the beer halls and on the golf courses, the tough questions around the actual impact of Oregon State University’s Cascades campus are also at the fore of many people’s minds. Neighborly concerns university officials have already been grappling with include questions around increases in traffic and road use. Indeed, with an expected 3,000 to 5,000 students living, working and studying in the area around Bend’s Century Drive within the next decade, there are bound to be some issues. For the time being though, the university expects to welcome roughly 900 students when it opens later this month.

campus this fall, a whopping 70 percent of them already live in Central Oregon. Before there was an option to take upper-level or graduate-level courses here in Bend, the only option for the upwardly-mobile people in our community was to leave our community or to pursue distance coursework. These are not faceless partiers coming in to ruin our mellow good time; they are largely the children and grandchildren of the people who raised them here in this community. Additionally, it was the people in this community who recognized the need for a higher-level university in our area, and it was the people in this community who achieved it. When it comes to fostering a community culture that is amenable to the majority, OSU-Cascades officials have worked hard to develop programs that are unique to—and which benefit—Central Oregonians. There are courses in hospitality management to accommodate our tourism sector. There are programs in IT and technology that address the shortages in our local workforce.

Nearby citizens are also concerned about maintaining cozy neighborhoods that aren’t blighted by college-age partiers—as is the case in some other college towns they’ve chosen not to live in. Looking at the issue as a whole, it seems there’s an overall “fear of the young person” surrounding the growing college student population in our city.

In short, the university has not blindly set forth on a course to impose its own will. It is an effort made with local people in mind, with a result that will ultimately benefit local people through boosts in our local economy, and through giving young people the opportunity to stay home and still get a university degree.

For those who fear the onslaught of the hordes of young people they believe will now be running around Bend, there’s a plain fact to look upon: Of the students who will be inaugurating the Cascades

It’s too soon to tell how the college parties and the traffic increases will play out, but for now, we say it’s time to (responsibly) celebrate the opening of OSU-Cascades. SW

NEWS

It's (Almost) Official Bend becomes a university town By Brian Jennings 7

Community Impact For decades, people have lamented Bend's one-dimensional economy based on recreation and tourism. Some companies shied away from locating in the city because of an inadequate workforce to support their businesses. The new fouryear university is helping to change that perception.

SINCE 2001:

EDCO's Lee says the university is beginning to pave the way for a more educated workforce that is trained in the skills needed to grow the economy in Central Oregon.

• 15 graduating classes • 3,000 degrees awarded • 70 percent of students from Central Oregon • $11 million in economic activity from student spending in 2014 • Economic impact in 2014: $33.3 million, creating 493 jobs IN 2015, OSU-CASCADES ENROLLED ITS FIRST TRUE FRESHMAN CLASS, OFFERING: • 16 academic programs & 4 graduate program degrees • 3,000-5,000 students expected by 2025

hen Roger Lee, executive director of economic development for Central Oregon, drives by the new Cascades campus of Oregon State University, he sees the new construction as a symbol of Central Oregon's future. Some have lamented the change, but with the opening of the new buildings at Bend's Century Drive and Chandler, an academic dream that began 30 years ago is becoming a reality. This month marks the grand opening of the four-year OSU-Cascades campus—an expansion that represents one of the most signifi-

cant and historic changes in the city of Bend. Meanwhile, Central Oregon Community College continues to fill an important educational role in the community, and nearly half of all OSU-Cascades students transfer from COCC. The History of OSU-Cascades OSU-Cascades opened its doors in 2001 on the COCC campus, offering upper-division and graduate course work. In 2012, Oregon State University endorsed a branch expansion to a four-year university in Bend. The following year the Or-

He says an exciting trend at the university is recruiting professors who have come from the private sector and industry. “That’s super valuable in our opinion because they bring with them real world, relevant experience into the classroom.” He says this is one of the most important things that students want and need as they move into the skilled workforce. The university promotes small class sizes of about 17 students per instructor. Another plus for the university is its ability to fill niche needs. “What this university has already embarked upon and will continue to do is ...Continues on page 7

act as a more entrepreneurial version of our other state universities. It doesn’t have all the history of the other universities, so it can be very entrepreneurial,” says Lee.

As more jobs require technical expertise, Lee sees the University as a catalyst in building economic capacity and critical mass in a number of different industries in Central Oregon. “The University can really step in and help with that by developing programs and offering degrees to meet those industry needs. It’s not that liberal arts education isn’t of value, but we’re seeing more employers who are demanding technical skills.” The building products industry, as an example, is still one of the largest employment sectors in Central Oregon that requires specific skills, he says.

Julie Gess-Newsome, interim academic dean at OSU-Cascades, says that the University will be a significant economic engine for Central Oregon. “As we’ve planned our programs, we’ve kept a very strong focus on what the community needs and what we can provide,” she explains. Gess-Newsome says the University is

class sizes in the hundreds, creating a disconnect between students and professors. Tibbits eventually moved to Ashland and became a construction worker and cabinet maker. Then the recession hit, forcing him to close his business. He came to Bend looking for work. After being laid off 11 times, he knew he had to go back to school to finish his degree and acquire new skills. Today Tibbits works for Element One, a small Bend-based company innovating energy production. His job is to help harness hydrogen power, building small generators as backup power stations for electricity used by telecom companies and other businesses. Hydrogen is one of the most abundant elements on earth, but the challenge is to produce pure hydrogen with no byproducts for efficient use. His research and development focus is also at the forefront of helping utilize natural gas from oil wells that is normally flared or burned off and wasted when the wells are capped. “What I loved about OSU-Cascades were the smaller classes and interactions with teachers. It was amazing,” he says. In the larger school setting at Utah, Tibbits says, the course work was impersonal and interaction was difficult.

“This was what we didn’t have that most other places we compete against do have. We have everything else dialed in, and this campus represents a stake in the ground that is our future.” - Roger Lee, EDCO looking at how it expands its curriculum so it becomes a more comprehensive university. For instance, it’s considering offering an English degree to expand the liberal studies program. Other plans include expansion of its environmental science program, which she says is a natural opportunity for Central Oregon. Working with the business community, the University started a computer science program several years ago, which Gess-Newsome anticipates will continue to grow. Another program offering inspired by the local business community is hospitality management—a program unique to the OSU-Cascades campus and not offered at the main Corvallis campus. Education Innovation Another unique program is the Energy Systems Engineering program. Building on OSU’s strength in engineering studies, it's one of the few accredited programs of its kind in the nation. When Josh Tibbits of Bend heard about the new ESE program, the immediately knew it was a fit for his future, and a turning point in his life. It was a non-traditional approach to an engineering degree. Tibbits had studied engineering at the University of Utah in 2000 but found

In terms of faculty, Tibbits feels that the staff the Cascades campus is able to attract is incredible. OSU-Cascades' Economic Impact While OSU-Cascades hasn’t released a study detailing the specific economic impact of the Bend university on Central Oregon, OSU as a whole released a 2014 report which shows a significant financial impact for the region. The results, compiled by Eugene-based economics firm ECONorthwest, showed the economic impact of Oregon State operations in Deschutes County was $33.3 million in 2014, creating 493 jobs. Student spending created nearly $11 million in economic activity, according to the report. As the University increases its student population, those numbers are expected to grow significantly. Lee, of EDCO, says a four-year university was the missing piece in Bend. “This was what we didn’t have that most other places we compete against do have.” That's why when he drives by the campus, he definitely sees the promise for the future. “We have everything else dialed in, and this campus represents a stake in the ground that is our future.” SW

New Farewell Bend Bridge Opens Sept. 10 Starting Saturday September 10, people in Bend can once again use the Farewell Bend pedestrian bridge, according to the Bend Park and Recreation District. The District and its contractors removed the old 75-yearold bridge—once used for logging work— earlier this year, with plans to replace it with a steel bridge that’s 160 feet long and 12 feet wide. The old bridge, made with a timber frame, was showing signs of wear. In addition, the structure of the old bridge made it too conducive to bridge jumping, according to the Bend Park website. “The new Farewell Bend Bridge opens up the view of the Deschutes River considerably and will hopefully serve us for as many years as its predecessor,” said Brian Hudspeth, Bend Park and Recreation District development manager. “We appreciate everyone’s patience and adherence to the detours while the project was underway.” With the reopening, the bridge will once again be a connecting point for walkers, runners and cyclists traveling between Farewell Bend Park, Riverbend Park and the Deschutes River Trail.

Headquarters at Malheur Wildlife Refuge Stays Closed The headquarters of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge have been closed since January and will stay that way through the rest of 2016. According to a report from OPB, the head-

quarters and visitors center is undergoing a security upgrade, which could take until spring 2017. The closure came after a 41-day seizure of the refuge by armed militants, allegedly led by Ammon Bundy. The militants took control of the refuge, arguing that all federal lands should be turned over to individual states. The last of the group surrendered peacefully in February—but only after one man was killed by law enforcement officers in January after allegedly reaching into his jacket for a gun. According to OPB, the actual wetlands and roads at Malheur are open to visitors, and local officials encourage people to visit—but to visit the town of Burns for amenities instead of the visitor’s center.

After the two cars collided, the driver of the SUV told police he was using his navigation system and didn’t see the stop sign. The driver was ticketed for the crash.

tion has left school infrastructure in a neglected state, forcing districts to make tough calls about where to spend. The report cites lead exposure, lead-tainted water, radon and poor indoor air quality, seismic risk and mold, mildew, dust and other asthma triggers as the “priority areas” needing immediate attention.

“Kids are sitting on the counters, they’re sitting on the floors because there’s not enough desks, ceiling tiles crumbling, stained walls, the bathrooms aren’t up to date,” Overley describes. He says the passage of recent local bonds took care of some of those issues, but there are still areas of concern around things like class size and upkeep of some of the older buildings in the Bend-La Pine school district. “They’ve done a lot of work on a lot of other buildings, but particularly the older buildings, so much of the work that’s being done is cosmetic,” Overley

In light of recent tests finding radon and lead in Portland school buildings, the "safe schools" report is just the latest in a public outcry around statewide public school funding. Comparatively speaking though, some in Central Oregon still look at things as the glass half-full. “I think we’re really lucky in Bend-La Pine because when bonds come up and people say we need to build a new school, everybody chips in. We say 'Yes, great, let’s build a new school.' So I think the facilities in Bend La Pine right now are

says. “They want people like us, when we walk in, to see, you know, like, ‘OK, this school looks better,’ but if you get to some of the other stuff, the radon, the mold, the dust...obviously, the seismic problems that there’s a potential to have…” It’s situations like those that prompted the Oregon PTA, Children First for Oregon and the Oregon Education Association to issue a report Aug. 22, calling for the state to address $7.6 billion in deferred maintenance in school buildings statewide. According to the report, a “steady disinvestment” in public educa-

in a good place,” says Collin Robinson, a parent of two students in the Bend-La Pine district and president of the Oregon PTA. Still, Robinson isn’t expecting the district to rest on its laurels. “The concern is if we continue kind of a disinvestment in maintenance—or the deferred maintenance—what happens in 20, 30, 40, 50 years, if things change, if we stop building new schools, if we’re not taking care of our current facilities,” Robinson says. Chief operations and financial officer for the Bend-La Pine district, Brad Henry,

sees Bend facing not so much funding issues, but challenges with capacity and growth.

baffling.”

“I think we do a good job of maintaining our facilities we have facilities that are 100 years old and are still in use,” says Henry. Compared to the rest of the state, however, Henry says “It’s not equal across the board because some communities have the resources and the community support to maintain their facilities at a level that is safe and is appropriate for the instructional model they’re trying to

Overley also points to disparities in school facilities as a problem affecting students here in Central Oregon. Some schools are brandnew, while others are decades old—and that’s often impacted by zip code. In Bend, Overley points out the stark contrast between older buildings like Pilot Butte Middle School and Bear Creek Elementary, and brand-new schools such as Pacific Crest.

DISPARITIES IN THE DISTRICT

“Here we are, $7.6 billion shortfall in terms of deferred maintenance in our schools, so it’s pretty baffling.” -Travis Overley, teacher, Summit High School present.” From the Bend-La Pine district perspective, the approach seems to involve vigilance and planning. To cover future maintenance and repairs, the district relies on a 20-year overall plan, renewed every five years. In addition—at least partly in response to the Portland school water crisis—the Bend-La Pine school district conducted lead tests in all district schools this June. All tests came back clear, says school board member Andy High. Still, not all schools get a completely clean bill of health. High gave Kenwood School, home of Highland Elementary, as an example of one building that’s been identified as having asbestos — something the district has a plan for when it’s time to remove it. “We have a safety assessment officer that goes through and checks out what’s going on in the schools and how to prevent accidents from happening, working not only with our staff, but students,” says High. “If there’s an unsafe environment I know that the goal is to get it fixed immediately. So if something breaks, we find that we’re definitely more proactive than reactive…and I don’t know where Portland is at but it feels reactive.” For teachers on the ground, there’s still more to be done. “Day after day, there’s more reports coming out highlighting the incredible need,” says Overley. “Here we are, $7.6 billion shortfall in terms of deferred maintenance in our schools, so it’s pretty

“(Students) don’t have a choice in where they were born or what side of town they were born in; they just show up every day. They’re walking into the doors of something that’s not setting them up for success,” Overley says. “If you look at the graduation rates, if you look at the funding per pupil, we’re seeing the results, we’re seeing the consequences of all that.” Still, school board member High maintains that it’s a more holistic formula that makes up a successful school. “All of us would love to have that brand new school for every one of our students, but it’s also making it, creating an environment where you’re still proud to be in that school,” High says.

THE CLASS SIZE DILEMMA Meanwhile, large class sizes continue to be a huge problem. “Our voters and our community really understand and support what’s going on from the schools and the building of that, I think if I had a choice…that they would give (money) to continue to reduce class sizes and hire more teachers,” says High. Last school year, Overley—who now teaches social studies at Bend’s Summit High School—launched a crowdfunding campaign to pay for new desks in his classroom. He admits that the purchase was more of a “want” than a “need,” but maintains that the desks were crucial to allowing his students to see maximum success. The new desks are on wheels, ...Continues on page 12

hen Bend teacher Travis Overley was a student teacher at Bend High School, teaching in front of a class of more than 40 students was common. At Bend High, however—one of the oldest buildings in the Bend-La Pine School District—Overley says it wasn’t just the size of the classes that stood out.

support needs to come from—and it’s not local bonds. “It becomes a budget issue and that starts from the top. That starts in Salem,” Robinson says.

MEASURE 97

“A 50 by 50-foot room and you’re putting 39 kids in that room, 39 teenagers, and I’m in the best-case scenario—so I actually have it good. I actually have a desk for all of my students, they have a place to sit, they’re not sitting on countertops,” Overley says.

Since 1990 and the passage of Measure 5—which shifted the burden for funding schools onto state revenues rather than on local property taxes—state funding for education has seen a continual decline, according to the OEA/PTA/ Children First report. So how to dial back that funding gap? Among the potential solutions is Oregon Measure 97, a hotly-debated item on the Nov. 8 ballot that would establish a 2.5 per-cent tax on corporate gross sales over $25 million. Even in the Bend-La Pine district, educators and policy makers are divided on the issue. During its meeting in July, the Bend-La Pine school board took an official position against Measure 97.

The main issue—at least for board member High: “There was no direct correlation to anything that was actually going directly into schools and or direct spending or support,” High said. “I’m a small business owner myself, that, $2,746 the regressiveness, just really scared me.”

From his position in the Oregon PTA, Robinson disagrees. “Oregon mandated the QEM, the quality education model, so many years ago, and we’ve never fully funded it because we gave the legislators an out. We said, 'If you guys give us a report about why you can’t fund it, that’s good enough.' That’s not good enough. I think if we are funding our schools statewide to the quality education model, a lot of this stuff kind of goes away. “When it comes down to it, that’s really, that’s our best shot right now to make this happen is Measure 97,” says Robinson.

MARIJUANA’S ROLE IN SCHOOL FUNDING When voters approved Measure 91 legalizing recreational marijuana sales in Oregon, many looked forward to the promise of 40 percent of pot taxes heading toward the state’s common school fund. As of July 31, the state had raked in $25.5 million in pot tax sales. With deferred school maintenance reportedly already behind by the billions, funding schools with pot taxes is far from a comprehensive solu-

tion—and it also comes with questions. “Hopefully they allow local control for us to decide what’s best to use it on,” High reflects. “What Sisters needs for their resources may be different than Bend La Pine, and Redmond’s needs are different than Sisters.” Robinson agrees that local control is an issue they’ll be looking to when state budgets are allocated. Even with those potential windfalls, however, there’s still a long way to go, Overley says. “And so let’s say measure 97 passes. Are our problems going to be solved the day after election day? Of course not. That’s where we need the citizen engagement. Like, get to your school board meetings. Get to your PTA meetings, go into the classrooms, ask teachers what they need.” What they need most, Overley says: “We’re not asking for much. We’re just asking for adequate funding.” SW *Figures from "Decades of Disinvestment: The State of School Funding in Oregon," courtesy of Oregon PTA / Oregon Education Association / AFT Oregon

In All The Right Ways

The inimitable Sara Watkins comes to Bend By Jared Rasic

They eventually launched their own podcast, “The Watkins Family Hour,” in which they combined bluegrass, country, storytelling, folk and some incredible guests for a magnificent gumbo of music and comedy. Last year, The Watkins Family Hour came through Bend with Fiona Apple lending some vocals and the brilliant Sebastian Steinberg (Soul Coughing) on bass. Earlier this year, Sean Watkins brought his powerhouse guitar and vocals through Bend on a solo tour and gave one hell of a performance. And now, we have Sara Watkins making her way through Central Oregon on her own solo tour. Whether she is making your spirit soar with her fiddle, breaking your heart with her unmistakable, inimitable voice or leading you through the worst day of your life with her guitar, Sara Watkins remains a musical genius. With Nickel Creek reforming in 2014 and Sara releasing a brilliant new album, “Young in All the Wrong Ways,” in July, her music is evolving and her indispensable role in the music scene is only becoming more defined. SW had a chance to talk with Sara about collaboration, her new record and how to stay sane on tour. Here’s an excerpt from that conversation.

Source Weekly: How’s the tour been so far? Sara Watkins: It’s been great. It’s been mostly festivals and day trips. The first big leg of the four-week tour will begin in about a week down here and we’ll move on up to Oregon.

SW: Congratulations on “Young in All the Wrong Ways.” It’s a beautiful album. How has it been playing these songs live? Have you been finding new avenues through these songs? SW: Yeah, I have! It’s been fun to explore the songs with different musicians on-

"I think it is a little different from my other records but I wouldn’t ever want to repeat myself. That’s never as satisfying as covering new ground. Not doing something new just for the sake of doing something new, but just not being interested in repeating myself." - Sara Watkins stage and this trio that I’m touring with is really exciting. I feel like we’re going to cover a lot of ground. We’re still noticing changes that we’re making and ways that we’re adapting to each other. We’re having a good time with it. SW: Can you tell me more about who you’re touring with? SW: I’m going to be playing a lot of guitar as well as some fiddle and ukulele for the show. David Garza (who played with us in Bend last time) is going to do a lot of guitar and keys and bass. A guy I haven’t played with very much named Michael Libramento, from Asheville, North Carolina, is going to be play-

ing a lot of drums and keyboard and bass. SW: Can you tell me a little about the inspiration for the new record? Were there thematic areas you wanted to explore when you went into it or did that come out in the songwriting? SW: It came out in the songwriting. Nickel Creek came out with an album a few years ago ("A Dotted Line") that had the song “Destination” on it. I feel like that song makes so much sense in the context of these songs and vice versa. I feel like it’s from a similar place. It all makes total sense to me, sonically and vibe-wise. Honestly, these songs were dictated by the lyrics. It was a more aggressive time in life in that it was a time where I realized I needed to be more proactive in a lot of areas in my life in ways I had denied. I didn’t mean to not be proactive but I had stalled out in some areas and I wanted to make some progress and move on. I wanted to cover some new ground in many areas. I think it is a little different from my other records but I wouldn’t ever want to repeat myself. That’s never as satisfying as covering new ground. Not doing something new just for the sake of doing something new, but just not being interested in repeating myself. SW: Is there something that kind of keeps you sane on the road? Something that keeps it fresh for you? SW: You have to have something, whether it’s a good book or maybe you exercise every day or you search for the best food. I like to have some outside time. To get out into the real world and go for a hike or a run or something. To just be alone outside. Bend is actually great for that. It’s been helpful for me in recharging things. Not for a very long time, just a little bit. It’s nice to have a quest when you get to a town like finding great pastries or a great farmer’s market or local beer. Whatever local thing helps you experience the town you’re in for a very short time. You have hours and hours of driving time and you try and do a little research so you can get a taste of the town in the very few minutes before you sound check and do a show. SW

hen Nickel Creek broke up in 2007, fans were devastated that Chris Thile, along with Sara and Sean Watkins, wouldn’t be dropping any more country-tinged progressive bluegrass earworms. While the individual members were always prolific in other super groups, it was Nickel Creek that brought the musicians most of their fanbase. I discovered the Watkins through my favorite podcast, “Thrilling Adventure Hour,” where they brought their perfect blend of old-timey textures and crisp musicality to the funniest hour of my week.

Needing to Try

Thana Alexa has jazz in her bones By Jared Rasic

16 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

The only cash that they had when they got off the boat was $25 they had won in a ping pong tournament on the boat. SW: That’s amazing! TA: So then my dad met my mother in New York. He was a lawyer and she was working in investment banking at the time. My brother and I were both born in NYC and our childhood was in the States. But then my dad was doing a lot of business in Croatia and my parents thought it would be a good adventure if we went over there for a couple of years. Two years turned into three into four into five and now it’s 17 years later and they’re still there and I came back. SW: Did college bring you back to the States?

932 NW Bond Street, Bend (541)-797-6335 | www.JDubBend.com

hana Alexa isn’t just a jazz musician. For one, she’s staggeringly beautiful—but that is easily the least interesting thing about her. Her debut record, “Ode to Heroes” is filled with some of the finest players of modern jazz and her voice dances between them like stardust. Her husband/producer/ drummer Antonio Sanchez brings his unmatched skills to the record, creating a stunning symbiosis of heartrending vocals with complicated compositions and arrangements. “Ode to Heroes” bounces between percussive and sparse to lush and layered without ever grinding to a halt. Christos Rafalides’ vibraphone explodes against Lenart Krecic’s blistering tenor sax, which then spills between Sergio Salvatore’s piano and Jorge Roeder’s bass. Frankly, this is the best jazz record since Migration’s “The Meridian Suite.” Thana Alexa comes to Bend on Sept. 14 to play the new, absolutely gorgeous Tetherow Pavilion. We talked with Alexa about gaining the courage to make jazz music her life. Here is an excerpt from that conversation.

Source Weekly: Tell me a little bit about growing up in Croatia. Thana Alexa: I’m American born, my mother is first generation American and my father was born in Croatia. My father came over to the States in 1961 and has that classic story of actually taking the boat over and starting from nothing.

TA: I always wanted to come back to the States for college. I started at a school called Northeastern University in Boston and I was studying psychology for a year with a minor in music. I had this inner struggle when I started school, My parents were always supportive of my music and I played violin very seriously for 13 years, so I was always in music. SW: Were your parents artists? TA: Neither of my parents chose the artistic path, so I never psychologically accepted music as something you could do as a career. When I went to college I thought it only natural to study something real and then have music as a hobby. I learned very quickly that I was extremely unhappy with that choice. It took me the whole year in Boston to realize something was missing, something really big. There was one jazz improv course I took every week and I realized that I was so happy every time that class would happen and sad when the week was over. I knew there was something there I had to explore a bit more. SW: And that was the moment? TA: There is a song that’s on my album entitled, “The Wanderer,” which is basically a vocal rendition of “Goodbye, Pork Pie Hat” by Charles Mingus, that I was introduced to in that jazz improv class. There was something about the song that really spoke to me and gave me the strength to realize that this was what I needed to try and do whether or not it works out. But I had to try.

CULTURE Art on the Walls High Desert Mural Festival aims to change the

ART WATCH By Danielle Meyers

rules to allow more street art By Annette Benedetti 27

Been wondering about the artistic stencils on Riverfront Boulevard? Us, too. All we know is, it’s not the city.

ikers, walkers and other active commuters may have noticed the varied road stencils marking bike lanes in Bend. Some of those stencils feature cyclists with a funky hat or other accoutrements. Most of the stencils are funded by the City of Bend’s street department Right of Way—that is, except the ones marking Riverfront Boulevard. When it comes to that street art, no one seems to know who the creative culprit might be. Jovi Anderson, with the City of Bend growth management department, said, “The City department did not make those stencils and no one knows where they came from.”

A sign code in Oregon’s constitution bars murals from being painted on publicly-owned buildings—but local artist Douglas Robert is working to change that in the city of Bend. Images courtesy Douglas Roberts.

f you make it beautiful, they will come. That’s what Douglas Roberts, founder of the High Desert Mural Festival (HDMF), believes. Unfortunately, a quirk in the wording of the Oregon Constitution is restricting where the event can display its art—a hurdle Roberts is hopeful will soon be overcome.

Wow!—a successful mural festival that began in Hawaii—Roberts believes that HDMF has the potential be an economic driver and encourage positive development in Bend. “The idea is that if you make it beautiful it will become a more desirable place to be. There’s no reason Bend can’t develop a world class art festival,” says Roberts.

An accomplished artist with over 25 years of experience in art production, Roberts discovered mural art approximately six years ago. “I hadn’t realized there was this movement taking place... that was so interactive and interesting,” says Roberts. “The art world is a direct reflection of the overall economy and the middle market is gone,” he explains, “Artists still wanted to interact with… society so they started painting outside.”

While the HDMF has drawn support, wording in a sign code in Oregon’s constitution prohibits murals from being painted on publicly owned buildings -- which limits this form of art to privately-owned spaces such as Bend’s Midtown Art Alley, which Roberts himself owns.

Inspired by the movement, Roberts transitioned his own artwork into murals and began considering how they could impact the local community. That’s when he came up with the idea for HDMF. Patterned after similar events like Pow!

Roberts and the Festival’s board have been interacting with The Arts, Beautification and Culture Commission of the City of Bend in an effort to amend the sign code. On Aug. 18, a Commission subcommittee held a meeting to review code language and to amend the sign code to allow murals in the Makers District as a pilot project. According to City

Recorder Robyn Christie, the hope is to have the pilot project in place by next year. If all goes well, HDMF will be able to expand to the mural zone in the Makers District in 2017. For the time being it will be limited to a handful of privately-owned walls throughout Bend. The HDMF will be held Oct. 2-9. Roberts says that this year’s festival will be a mini version of what will come once the city code is amended. Murals will appear at the Midtown Art Alley, the Cosmic Depot art wall, and the Elk Meadow Elementary art wall. The Elk Meadow wall will be built over several weeks and local artists will be painting festival murals this year.

The mysterious stencils appeared sometime this year. They vary in shape, size and direction. Some of the displays include Segways, animal paws, cats, squirrels and floaters. When it comes to the stencils, local business owners seem just as baffled as city officials. Conveniently located near the Colorado Foot Bridge, plenty of pedestrians use Riverfront in the summertime before or after floating the Deschutes River. Riverfront is parallel to Riverside, near the now-closed Riverside Market restaurant and grocery store. Judy Lipton, owner of the soon-to-open French Market that will replace Riverside Market, said, “I don’t know anything about the road stencils on Riverfront.” Will the mystery be solved? Or perhaps you’re the incognito artist, just waiting for a chance to out yourself publicly? If that’s the case, let the Source Weekly know, so we can tell everyone else. SW

WHO ARE WE?

In the future, Roberts hopes the festival will draw national artists as well as art lovers from across the country. SW

Broadway Revisited

Shore Thing Productions presents “A Chorus Line” By Annette Benedetti

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Something for everyone: Come for the visual eye candy or come for the thought-provoking messages. Courtesy of Shore Thing Productions.

hough it debuted more than 40 years ago, “A Chorus Line” remains both entertaining and relevant to today’s theater-goers. Given the increasingly competitive job market—with application processes that often feel like Broadway tryouts—Shore Thing Productions’ take on the award-winning musical aims to resonate with modern-day audiences. Broadway veteran Michael Heaton, who was just getting his career off the ground in New York when “A Chorus Line” first opened, is directing the production. He says he couldn’t say no when asked to direct a show that played a pivotal role in the history of the American Musical Comedy. According to Heaton, “A Chorus Line” set the genre on its ear by deviating from standard structure. Written by Academy Award winner Marvin Hamlisch, the

play centers on 17 dancers auditioning for a Broadway musical. In the end only eight will make the cut. Their individual storylines were created from hundreds of hours of taped interviews with real-life aspiring actors and actresses, which became the text of the entire show. The dialogue and lyrics serve as the backbone of the play and no one character emerges as the star. “There are 17 dancers, the director, choreographer, and the assistant…all of the stories are equally important and poignant,” says Heaton. When asked about his approach to directing the production, Heaton says, “The values I dictated to the cast are that we make it believable and that we respect these stories.” Part of achieving believability was in the casting. “People who auditioned to be chorus kids were in their twenties and their early to

Celebrate!

mid-thirties,” says Heaton. “That can be challenging to cast in Community Theater.” The story also requires talent that can act, dance and sing—or learn to quickly. Cast member Brad Ruder says, “We are not all triple threats. …we are a hodgepodge of talents and everyone has an area that is a challenge to them.” According to choreographer Michelle Mejaski, more than 40 people attended the open auditions for the production and at least half were cut. “When I started to choreograph, I knew I wanted to do something beyond a beginning level of dance. This does need to look like it could be a Broadway audition,” says Mejaski. Along with believability, staying true to the intent of the original show was important to Heaton. “I want the audi-

ence to be able to identify with what is happening, regardless of what they do for a living,” says Heaton. “It is about a life passage we’ve all gone through. We may go through it differently, but underneath the surface application, it’s the same turmoil.” While “A Chorus Line” is full of laugh lines, Heaton’s goal was to get at the empathy lying just beneath the lines. “You can come and listen for the tits and ass jokes if you don’t want to think, but I’ve always tried to direct to the folks who want to think.” says Heaton. “This is not just a show about fun and giggles, the milieu might not be understandable to everyone, but the message is universal.” SW “A Chorus Line” Sept. 16-25 Tower Theater, 835 NW Wall St., Bend $33, $38, $48

Farms surround the towns of Central Oregon, so it’s not tough to get to know your local farmers. The CROP farmers markets and tours aim to achieve just that.

o you know where your food comes from? Do you know your farmers practices? Do you want to?

Knowing where your food is grown and processed is an important part of healthy living. Last year the Crook County Small Farm Alliance received a USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant intended to promote farms that market directly to consumers, whose products are not meant for large production. Crook County Small Farm Alliance partnered with the High Desert Food and Farm Alliance to form Crooked River Open Pastures (CROP), an agritourism program aimed at giving the public an opportunity to get to know local farms a little bit better. Instead of putting together a traditional style farmers market in downtown Prineville, the alliances opted to host farm tours and a farmers market at one of the six participating farms, or at a sponsor’s locale. Each event is different and takes on the personality of the host. From April through September, the events run from 10am to 2pm on the first and third Saturday each month, with each one being relaxed fun for the whole family. This year the farm tours have featured demonstrations like sheep shearing and goat education. Other highlights included hayrides, a Mother’s Day celebration, petting zoos, live music and games. Outside vendors such as Cada Dia Cheese,

Just 1 Acre, and Bead Happy have joined the markets, adding more locally-made products to the mix. Expect to see fresh produce, cheeses, goat milk, beef jerky, sausages, dry rubs, spices, soaps, incense, vintage jewelry and prayer flags. All the vendors are very inclusive; a true reflection of the community. It feels more like a family barbecue than an organized public event. Vendors and farmers catching up on days past, sharing their bounties and welcoming strangers to be a part of the conversation. The CROP farmers are really excited to meet the community and spread awareness not only about their farms and products, but also about small farms in general. It’s surprising how distant modern U.S. society is from knowing where its food comes from. Even those of us living in rural Central Oregon surrounded by farms and ranches. Even when we buy local labels at the grocery stores, do we really know our farmers and their practices? Take this opportunity to visit a local farm and see what happens. This second year of CROP is coming to a close with one last event on Sept. 17 at Bluestone Gardens in Powell Butte. Opened four years ago by long-time 4H leader Onda Hall-Hueners and her husband Mike, Bluestone Gardens raises cattle, goats, chickens, pigs and a garden. Their processes are all organic, even though they don’t have a USDA

label. Since they eat what they produce, good quality is important to them. The chickens are fed grains and leftover fruits and veggies. The entirely grass-fed cattle are raised for their beef and their goats are raised for both dairy and meat. You won’t find their products packaged on store shelves—only at the farm, fairs or the CROP markets. Their meat is sold live, allowing the customer to butcher the animal to their taste. Onda says this last event will be much more flexible than this year’s CROP opener, when they hosted Goat Education Day. Guided tours of the 35-acre farm will be offered as people gather, giving a chance to get a little closer to the animals— though petting is not encouraged. Pick up some fresh herbs, learn about landscape design and stop to adore the baby pigs. Being the final event of the season, the market is sure to be in good cheer with live music and games. Stay on the lookout for the 2017 CROP Passport and tour schedule so you can plan on visiting each of the CROP farms: Bluestone Gardens, Dancing Cow Farm, Prineville Lavender, DD Ranch, Wine Down Ranch and Windy Acres Dairy.

To truly experience Oktoberfest, beer drinkers may have to look beyond Oregon beers. Courtesy of the Downtown Bend Business Association.

ktoberfest, the weeks-long Bavarian beer festival and fun fair that is to Germany what apple pie is to the USA, kicks off in Munich Sept. 17. Bend’s own downtown Oktoberfest, somewhat smaller-sized but no less ribald and fun, takes place on the 16th and 17th. The main difference between the two: Germans will drink Märzen and other expertly-crafted seasonal lagers by the liter; Bendites will drink a lot of Fresh Squeezed out of plastic cups. This needs to change! Technically speaking, the only outfits that make “Oktoberfest beer” are the six Munich breweries that supply the Oktoberfest: Spaten, Löwenbräu (both InBev brands nowadays), Augustiner-Bräu, Hofbräu-München, Paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr. However—although one can’t really tell from browsing Bend’s beer aisles—U.S. craft breweries put out Oktoberfest-style beers by the hundreds this time of year. This is especially the case in places where the Germans had a strong influence on the local beer scene, such as Texas and the Upper Midwest. Märzen is also the top-selling beer from the Gordon Biersch brewery in San Jose, and that one’s available at Trader Joe’s here in Bend under the name JosephsBrau Oktoberfest. (It’s not bad.) Still, the Munich-born Märzen genre—which covers both light (Helles) and dark (Dunkel) lagers—isn’t one commonly seen around this beer-lad-

en city of ours. 10 Barrel’s Pub Beer, for one, is technically a Helles lager. Deschutes’ Bond Street pub currently has No Chance in Helles on tap, a nice and quaffable lager with a bit of spiciness to the hops, but their big fall seasonal release is Hopzeit, an IPA “inspired by” Oktoberfest. Bend Brewing, Crux, and Silver Moon can all be counted on for some A-plus lagers, but nothing fest-y’s come out from them yet. Thus, someone looking to drink with the season must turn to “imports” from outside of Oregon. A few worth tracking down: Paulaner: One of the official festbiers, the Oktoberfest-Märzen (on tap right now over at Platypus Pub) pours a nice shade of amber and provides a deeply malty experience for its 5.8 percent ABV. Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest: Sierra Nevada teamed up with Mahrs Bräu in Bamberg, Germany, to make this year’s edition, which uses the uncommonly-used Record hop type to add spiciness to the malt profile. Avery The Kaiser: Not exactly a traditional Märzen, this—Avery’s taken the basic Oktoberfest formula and revved up the intensity to create a 9.3 percent lager laden with intense Noble hop aromas. Hold on to your steins! SW

Clutch Them Pearls Fast

"The Light Between Oceans" is weightless melodrama By Jared Rasic 33 The uniformly-excellent Michael Fassbender plays Tom, a veteran of The Great War who is hired as a lighthouse keeper on the coast of Western Australia. He’s quiet, shy and somewhat numb to the world around him. He very slowly courts and eventually marries Isabel (the omnipresent and luminous Alicia Vikander), who moves out to the remote island with him. After Isabel has several miscarriages over the years, the couple grows more despondent and isolated from each other.

Alicia Vikander’s beautiful performance can’t save this lifeless slog of a movie.

efore we get into the review proper, I thought I would state the obvious. All criticism is subjective. Just because I think one of the best films of the year so far is a flick about a sausage trying to have sex, find God and dose humanity with bath salts doesn’t mean everyone else will feel that way. Movies are like lovers; new ones are exciting, old ones aren’t as good as you remember and most of them make you feel bad.

“The Light Between Oceans” was not my cup of Nescafé, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be someone else’s. I know that statement is true with every film I review, but this one in particular felt like it was aimed at a demographic very different from my own. There were multiple (older and female) patrons crying at the screening I attended, and if pearls had been handed out before the show, mostly everyone would have been clutching

Their rescue, salvation and ultimate fall from grace comes when they rescue a baby from an adrift rowboat that washes up on shore. Inside the rowboat is only the baby, a fancy pacifier and a dead man. As Tom prepares to let the proper authorities know what has happened, Isabel convinces him to bury the body and raise the child as their own. Years later, while visiting the mainland, they encounter the child’s biological mother and are faced with some very difficult decisions. “The Light Between Oceans” is the type of old-fashioned melodrama that really doesn’t get made anymore. While I’m not familiar with the 2012 novel by M.L. Stedman, I’m sure the convolutions of the plot would have worked much better

FILM EVENTS: BEND FILM

endFilm has finally announced its opening night film, as well as the entire slate of feature films for the 13th annual festival, taking place Oct. 6-9. This year promises to be filled with films that not only challenge and educate, but also entertain. All told, there are 10 narratives, 10 documentaries and 68 shorts. The opening night film will be “Voyagers Without Trace,” the newest feature documentary from Portland native Ian McCluskey (“Eloquent Nude"). It follows three French adventurers who kayaked the Green and Colorado Rivers in 1938, while also documenting McCluskey searching for any remaining traces of their journey. Jenny Conlee of The Decemberists and her husband Steve Drizos will be in attendance and will play a set of original music they wrote for the film as part of the score. The documentary short before the film is “Sagebrush Sisters,” which tells the story of three women (aged 65-80) who hiked over 50 miles following a pronghorn migration. While the entire list is filled with some fascinating films, here are a few to book-

As his previous films proved, Director Derek Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine,” “The Place Beyond the Pines”) knows how to avoid needless dramatic machinations, but he seems constrained here by a story that doesn’t feel truthful. His unpretentious direction, combined with the great acting, the beautiful score by Alexandre Desplat and the sparsely-opulent cinematography by “True Detective’s” Adam Arkapaw, should have made this a gut-wrenching powerhouse. Instead, we’re left with a contrived facsimile of a soap opera. Here’s where the subjective part comes in. I don’t have kids and I haven’t fought in a war. Every bit of empathy I was supposed to summon for these characters was absent. Their turmoil felt alien to me in a way I just couldn’t connect with, viscerally or emotionally.

"Morgan" is the most mixed of bags

34 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

The September Doldrums By Jared Rasic

Morgan might look a little evil, but that’s only because she is.

eptember is always a weird month for movies. We’re just exiting out of the May-July Summer Blockbuster season, but we’re still not into the November-December Oscar Bait showcase. Basically, we’re in limbo. Anything could happen over the next few months. While there are a few interesting movies coming out in September and October (“Snowden,” “Voyage of Time,” “Certain Women,” “The Handmaiden” and a few others), it’s also possible we might not get a truly remarkable piece of work until Ang Lee, Denis Villeneuve and Kenneth Lonergan bestow new work upon us around mid-November. “Morgan” fits the September bill nicely as it’s most definitely a movie that was made with actors, lights and a camera recording the action, but the script is so sloppy and under-developed that it barely feels like a pilot to a TV show. It’s filled with good actors that are let down scene after scene by a script that lures the audience into thinking there will be growth or arcs for its characters. Each and every person in this movie exists only to be possible fodder for Morgan to tear through like flesh piñatas. Kate Mara plays Lee Weathers, a risk-assessment specialist for a corporation that has funded a research project dedicated to creating artificial human beings. Morgan (Anya Taylor-Joy) is one such artificial human being and she is having some behavioral problems. After Morgan stabs one of her handlers multiple times in the eye, Lee is sent out to the corporation’s remote compound in the woods to decide whether Morgan’s life is worth the eventual

profits to be made. The first two acts are very economical, setting up the compound and the scientists who run it with an ease not normally found in a freshman director. Luke Scott (son of the great Ridley) frames his shots well and shows an aptitude for action set pieces, but his film goes so far off the rails in the third act that it almost erases the good work he does in the first two. As the trailers have repeatedly shown, Morgan escapes and starts picking off the scientists one at a time. The film basically goes from an interesting sci-fi morality tale like “Ex Machina” or the first third of “Prometheus” to a bloody thriller similar to “The Lazarus Effect” or the last two-thirds of “Prometheus.” Which (if Morgan’s change from childlike to murderous was well developed), would be fine, but all we’re left with is a monster we don’t understand killing people in lab coats we don’t care about. “Morgan” is exactly the kind of movie critics are picturing when they describe something as a “mixed bag.” The film is paced well and never boring, but it’s so inconsequential and downright stupid as to be forgotten almost instantly. There’s also a “twist” ending that is so predictable that instead of being interesting, it’s actually laughable. This is the very type of movie for which Redbox was invented. SW

" Mechanic: Resurrection"

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic

BEN-HUR: This remake is on schedule to be the biggest flop of the year so far and a large reason for that is a complete misunderstanding of its audience. Why remake such a timeless classic like Ben-Hur? To spruce up the chariot race with better special effects and throw Morgan Freeman in there for good measure? The trailers never made anyone care about seeing this, so no one did. Simple as that. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DON’T BREATHE: This is easily one of the most intense movies of the last several years. When some down-on-their-luck youngsters break into the house of an old blind man, they find horrors they are truly not prepared for. As the blind man stalks the kids through his dark and disturbing house, they will have to use every tool at their disposal not to end up very, very dead. Soon to be a modern horror classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DON’T THINK TWICE: From the creative team behind “Sleepwalk With Me,” “Don’t Think Twice” is a comedy/drama about the difficulties of stand-up comedy. Two members of an improv troupe get their big break while everyone else in the group has to face that they might not make it big after all. Tin Pan Theater HELL OR HIGH WATER: Coming in at the tail end of summer, “Hell or High Water” is being hailed as one of the best films of the year and one of the best modern westerns since “No Country For Old Men.” This tells the tale of a pair of brothers who rob banks in West Texas to save the family farm. The cast, including Jeff Bridges, Ben Foster and Chris Pine, is flawless and the script by “Sicario’s” Taylor Sheridan is enveloping. Combat blockbuster season with this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS: This new animated gem from Portland-based animation studio Laika has to be seen to be believed. The film has the finest stop-motion animation ever put on film and tells a story that grips the audience right away. A young boy teams up with a sword-wielding monkey and a samurai beetle to fight his demonic and deadly family members. This might be a little too scary for the very young kids, but older ones and parents will love it. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX LO AND BEHOLD- REVERIES OF THE CONNECTED WORLD: Werner Herzog has made some of the finest narratives and documentaries of all time and this one shouldn’t be any different. In this documentary, Herzog takes his typically dry and self-deprecating focus and aims it at the internet, creating something both chilling and thought-provoking. Tin Pan Theater

MECHANIC: RESURRECTION: We don’t often get sequels to movies that underperform in the box office, but then again, a new Jason Statham is always something to enjoy. This time our violent and badass mechanic/ assassin must come out of retirement to commit three impossible murders to save the life of his kidnapped wife. At worst, Statham’s movies are entertaining, but it probably won’t be all bad in the long run. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MORGAN: A great cast is mostly wasted in this fairly generic action/sci-fi/thriller. Kate Mara is a corporate risk assessor who arrives at a hidden science lab to investigate an act of violence committed by an intelligent, super human clone. The storyline veers from fascinating to downright insulting so quickly that it’s almost entertaining. A genuinely disappointing film that has moments of greatness sprinkled throughout. See full review on p. 34. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PETE’S DRAGON: This is a remake of a movie most people either don’t remember or remember fondly. A young boy and his pet dragon hang out in the forest and go on adventures until humanity butts its ugly nose into their business. Advanced reviews for this one are phenomenal, as it’s being called the best children’s movie since “The Iron Giant.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SAUSAGE PARTY: The unconventional tale of a sausage, a lavash, a bagel and a hot dog bun that go on an adventure to find the meaning of life in a massive grocery store. Gleefully profane and much smarter than it seems on its surface, “Sausage Party” is a deceptively profound look at organized religion and being true to your nature, regardless of how scary it might be. Do not bring the kids to this one. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU: This is a romantic dramatization of the first date of Barack and Michelle Obama. Told in a similar style as Richard Linklater’s “Before Sunrise,” the film follows Barack and Michelle throughout an entire summer’s day in 1989, traveling around Chicago’s Southside getting to know each other. The trailers are funny and charming, but the film probably won’t be seen for what it is because of hot-button political divisiveness. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS: A good old-fashioned melodrama that takes a few very talented actors and gives them a less-than-intelligent script to contend with. Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander play a lighthouse keeper and his wife who, after a couple of miscarriages, find a baby and a dead body in a rowboat. They bury the body and keep the baby and all kinds of intensely dramatic moments ensue. The film bounces between ludicrous, infuriating and decent. See full review on p. 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WAR DOGS: A light and almost bubbly look at international gun running. Jonah Hill and Miles Teller play a couple of 20-somethings that get sucked into the high stakes world of selling guns and ammunition to the United States government. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SW

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 36 / September 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

BAD MOMS: It doesn’t look like the funniest movie in the world, but “Bad Moms” sports a phenomenal cast and the writers of the original “Hangover,” so maybe it’s worth more of a chance. Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis and Kathryn Hahn star as a trio of overworked moms who snap and decide to binge on just about any damn thing they choose. It’s an original idea for a flick, so let's hope the script is stronger than the trailers. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

OUTSIDE Disc Golfing for Gold Local pro wins her fourth world championship

By Russ Axon

SW: You’re also a chairwoman for PDGA’s Women’s Committee. What are your responsibilities in that role?

f golf is the traditional gentleman’s sport, then disc golf is the cooler, laidback sibling who everyone would rather hang out with. The sport continues to grow in popularity around the world, and it’s no different in Bend. A large part of that is definitely thanks to Valarie Jenkins, the 2016 Professional Disc Golf Association World Champion. Jenkins’ patient and steady style over six rounds of play led to her fourth world championship title in the Women’s Open. “It feels unreal,” Jenkins said. “This year was exhilarating. I put my mind to something and to have it come through successfully is really awesome.” When Jenkins isn’t flawlessly tossing in birdies, she lives in Bend with her husband, Nate Doss. The two play disc golf professionally around the country, even teaching a few clinics throughout the year. The Source Weekly spoke with Valarie while she was celebrating with her family in her hometown of Medina, Ohio. Fresh off her win, the champion talked about playing smart, growing up with the game, and conducting beer “research” along the way: Source Weekly: First off, congrats on the win. You came from behind on the last day, and made an amazing birdie on the 16th Hole to cement your fourth championship. What was your mindset during the

round? Valarie Jenkins: I felt really confident about my game. (Paige) Pierce and (Catrina) Allen were in the lead, and they are two of the farthest-throwing women I’ve ever seen play the game. They can reach some of the holes that I can’t reach, but for me it’s always been more about my steady and consistent play. So while they can go for these longer shots, they might get in more trouble or go out of bounds risking those long shots. I kept my steady play, my putting was really great during the week. It came down to the final nine holes, and at this little trap (at Hole 13) they kept landing out of bounds, and I played my consistent shot in the middle. That’s when it really took off, and I knew that I had it. SW: This is your fourth world championship. You won your first three in 2007, 2008 and 2009. What do you think was different about your performance this year from previous years? And what are your goals from here? VJ: I’ve been basically doing the same thing every year. I think it’s just the more times you win, there’s going to be more women trying to knock you off that pedestal. I think a lot of strong competition came onto the scene around 2010, so every year it’s been harder and harder to win a world championship. I definitely wasn’t sure if I was ever going to get my

fourth. The funny thing about this year, the guy that won the Open Men’s, (Richard Wysocki,) actually grew up playing the same course that I did in Medina. So it was all meant to be somehow. Right now, I’m preparing for the U.S. Women’s Championship in Maine. And there are two women with five world championships, so I’m working my way towards that next year. SW: You’ve been playing disc golf professionally since you were 15. What aspects of the sport do you most enjoy? What keeps it exciting for you after all this time? VJ: For me, disc golf is a family operation. Since the early ’90s, my parents have maintained one of the local disc golf courses in Medina …so I basically grew up on the course. And my brother—who’s eight years older than me and very competitive—won the Men’s Open World Champion in 2009. Right now, my husband and I are in a blue Sprinter van, and we travel the country from one tour stop to the next. We’re able to check out these places that would take people a couple lifetimes to visit. We’ve played in Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Japan. The teaching aspect is great, too. My husband and I did a kid’s clinic at Elk Meadow Elementary in the spring. It brought us back to that moment when we learned about the sport and how fun it is for the first time. It was really rejuvenat-

VJ: It’s called the Professional Disc Golf Association... but it’s open to amateurs, juniors, pros, older players, master players. We’re trying to get these smaller sections of women running organized events in their area. In the PDGA, women make up only 7 percent of the whole association. While the sport’s been exponentially growing every year, the percentage hasn’t changed … I’d really like that number to change. I help run this bi-yearly tournament called the Women’s Global Event. It’s a virtual event where women can play at their local course on that day, and then they submit their scores, and we create this huge, virtual tournament. The first year we had about 1,000 competitors, and this year we had 1,600 women participating from 12 different countries. SW: So you’re a World Champion, you’re on the Women’s Committee, you’re a member of the Central Oregon Disc Golf Club, and I hear you’re also a big beer fan. In fact, you and your husband are planning on opening a brewery in Bend, correct? VJ: That’s true. One of the reasons we moved to Bend was to learn from all the local breweries. It’s crazy with our lifestyle right now, and it’s really hard to get anything in concrete, but that is our eventual goal. We’re fortunate, though, in that we get to do a lot of what we can call “research.” We’re able to travel to all these different states and see all the different styles that people are getting excited about. We just did two collaboration beers last month with a brewery in Vermont called Fiddlehead. It’s called the Stable IPA, and it will be canned and released at a disc golf tournament up there. We did the same thing last year (called the Understable), and people were calling the brewery multiple times a month to ask when the beer was coming out again. And in Maine, we’ll be releasing another beer with a local brewery there. The proceeds from that will help a local cancer and healing center. SW

Raptors on Parade By Jim Anderson

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / September 8, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

"What the Bash?!" is set for 9/17 at the Bend Rock Gym.

Bend Boulder Bash

A nest full of Ferruginous hawk babies, in one of the photos that will be featured as part of a month-long exhibit on raptors in the Sisters Library. Photo by Jim Anderson.

ll through the month of September an exhibit on raptors will be featured in the Community Room of the Sisters Library. It all got started a few months back when Zeta Seiple, chair of the Friends of the Sisters Library art committee, asked, “So, what do we want to do for an exhibit in September?”

Baughman has the good fortune to live in one of the Deschutes River canyons between Bend and Redmond. His home is about a football field length from an active Golden Eagle nest. He often sits on his deck, camera in hand, while “Chester” and “Kitty,” owners of the nest, nod at him as they go out foraging for their kids.

Not wanting to pass up an opportunity, I piped up, “How about I do one on raptors?” All the heads around the table nodded up and down, so Zeta said, “OK, you got it.”

Meanwhile, Abbott Schindler of Bend has three pieces in the exhibit, and the one of an Osprey shaking water out of its feathers is a barn-burner. In addition to the California Condor, Jodi Schneider has hung a portrait of a waiting Cooper’s hawk at a bird-feeder, glaring at you, seeming to say, ”Get out of here and leave me be!”

Knowing I couldn’t fill the walls with my photos alone, I began soliciting others to join me. This is where I have to give a big hug to a whole bunch of old pals and fellow lovers of all things natural. Be it ants, butterflies, eye-catching geology, birds or reptiles, I delight in friends who love all of the nature of our beautiful planet and don’t hesitate to share it. Kevin Smith up in Crooked River Ranch dropped off a bunch of photos of the raptors near his place. Al St. John, our local expert and author on herptiles, dropped off three images of his raptors. Local artist Jennifer Hartwig jumped right in with scratchboard work of owls and eagles that’ll knock your eyes out. I’ve also included fellow birder Tom Crabtree’s work. He’s one of the original members of Central Oregon Audubon, which eventually became today’s East Cascades Audubon Society. His Great Gay Owl portrait, which normally hangs in our house, is spectacular. And wait till you see Charlie Baughman’s eagles!

Tom Davis’ photo of a family of Longeared Owls portrays a surprise on the owls’ part at seeing a camera staring them in the face. My wife Sue’s adult Ferruginous Hawk swooping over us while I was banding its kids shows that species in almost all white plumage. Fellow Sisters Area Photography Club member Linda Ziegenhagen has a Great Horned Owl photo in the exhibit—with a spectacular framing job—while on the West wall of the Community room I’ve hung my favorite owl photo. It’s on 40-inch photo paper from when I was making photo murals back in the '50s. I spotted that Great Horned Owl when I looked out the window of the old George A. Jones house I was living in on the Hollinshead’s Timberlane Ranch in Bend in 1955. I was in the act of loading and cranking up my ancient 1928 4x5 Graphlex view camera, and it was 6 below zero outside.

I grabbed up my jacket, slipped on my logging boots, and with Graflex and head cloth in hand, slowly advanced on the owl. As I got closer it raised its head and stared at me. That’s when I could see it was sitting on what appeared to be a jackrabbit. I opened the big old Graflex, popped the lens board out, raised the hood, placed the black head cloth over the my head and camera, then slowly walked toward the owl. At that point I was no longer a human being, but the owl never took its eyes off me. When the frame of the 4x5 negative was filled with owl I stopped, took a big breath and held it as I pushed the lever to bring the focal plane shutter over the film plate in the back of the camera—and that’s all I got. When the camera’s shutter went, “ker-plunk” the owl raised itself out of the snow on those big wings and flew off with the jackrabbit dangling. Most of these amazing pieces are for sale—anywhere from $20 to $750. If you see something you like, quickly put your name in the box and if you’re first, you’ll get to take it home at the end of the show. On Friday, Sept. 30—God-willin’ and if snow ain’t too deep—I’ll be at the library to give a program on birds of prey. At 1 pm, most of the artists and photographers will be on hand to tell you about their work. Then around 1:30pm I’ll show some slides and tell a few stories. So, as the old popular game show announcer said, “Come on down.” SW

Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean the outdoor fun has to leave with it. Bend Rock Gym will host “What the Bash?!,” a climbing competition, on Saturday, Sept. 17, from 4-11pm. The event is the first in BRG’s Bend Boulder Bash competition series, open to climbers of all ages and skill levels. Competitors should wear as much green as possible. All proceeds from the raffle will be donated to Bend Endurance Academy. Early registration is encouraged. (Make sure not to sign up for the similar-looking What the Comp?! event.) Registration fees are $20 before Sept.12, $25 afterward. For more information, visit bendrockgym.com or call 541-388-6764.

Bigfoot Races There are plenty of distance races in Bend throughout the year, but with this one, speed is the name of the game. Runners battle fatigue and gravity during the 10K Bigfoot Race, a downhill course from Seventh Mountain Resort to the Old Mill District. This year’s event also features a dirt path option and a new 5K course, as well as Littlefoot Races for kids of all ages. Adult races kick off at 9am, with the kids’ runs starting an hour later. Runners can register online or at Footzone downtown. Registration is also open race day at 7:30am. The Bigfoot Races are hosted by the Central Oregon Running Klub, and proceeds will benefit the Bend/ La Pine high school cross country teams. For info visit bendbigfoot.com or centraloregonrunningklub.org.

The Great Drake Park Duck Race Look out: The Deschutes might look a lot more colorful this weekend. The 27th annual Great Drake Park Duck Race, a charity event featuring hundreds upon hundreds of multi-colored rubber ducks, is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 11 from 11am-3pm. A kids’ race will kick things off at noon, with 500 free ducks for kids ages 2-14. The main event starts at 1:30pm, and 20 prizes are up for grabs, including a $20,000 car voucher! There will also be music, food and activity booths. The event is free, but race competitors must purchase tickets. The Duck Race is sponsored by all four Bend area Rotary clubs, and proceeds will benefit several local charities that focus on assisting families and children in need.

TAKE ME HOME

By Nick Nayne Principal Broker

Multi-generational housing trends

Recent statistics are showing that multi-generational households have been steadily increasing. Multi-generational households are defined as having two or more adult generations or one that includes grandparents and grandchildren. According to the report, the increase in multi-generational households spans across all racial and ethnic groups, but Asians, Hispanics, and foreign-born Americans are most likely to live in multi-generational households. Aging baby boomers are a large driving force—and this population is growing rapidly—as well as younger adults who struggle to establish careers after college or who have other financial reasons such as the recent recessionary period. This growth trend is having influences on the housing industry as well. We see this in Bend and Oregon with the Accessory Dwelling Unit trends and the appeal of tiny home structures. Although many of these are motivated by rental income, there are many that are multi-generational housing situa-

tions. Older adults tend to downsize and prefer independent living close to relatives over assisted or retirement housing. The National Association of Homebuilders reports an increase in remodeling requests for aging in place. The preference is for each generation to have separate living quarters for privacy. National builders such as Lennar Homes have also designed a NextGen home which is described as a home within a home, with plenty of places for family to interact, but private places as well so family members have their own space to retreat. There are also companies building small modular ADUs that are like tiny homes, but not on wheels, that are placed on existing properties. A successful multi-generational home can have many advantages in terms of shared costs and care for each other, and the trend seems to be growing. This will have implications in the ongoing affordable housing crisis as a solution for the growing, aging, baby boomer population. If this segment downsizes and moves into multi-generational households, this will bring more homes available for sale to first time homebuyers. The trend will also create pressure for some changes in zoning laws to accommodate placing additional structures on existing properties.

ADVICE GODDESS

Aisle Always Love You

—Lovey-Dovey There’s being cuddly at the supermarket, and then there’s being cuddly in a way that says, “We usually do this with whipped cream.” Even if what you’re publicly displaying is affection, not foreplay, there are a number of reasons it may make onlookers uncomfortable: It’s them. (They were raised to think PDA is not okay.) It’s their relationship. (The more warm, cuddly, and adorbs you two are the more you remind them that their relationship temperature is about 3 degrees above “bitter divorce.”) It’s the wrong time and place. (They’re watching you do huggy headlocks at Granny’s funeral.) You’re actually onto something by being so physically demonstrative. Charles Darwin observed that expressing the physical side of an emotion—that is, “the outward signs,” like the yelling that goes with rage—amps up the emotion. Modern research finds that he was right. For example, clinical psychologist Joan Kellerman and her colleagues had total strangers do something lovers do—gaze deeply into each other’s eyes. Subjects who did this for just two minutes “reported significantly more feelings of attraction, interest, warmth, etc. for each other” than subjects in the “control” condition (who spent the two minutes looking down at each other’s hands). Research on touch has found similar effects. The upshot? Act cuddly-wuddly and cuddly-wuddly feelings should follow. Maybe you can science his mom into feeling better by explaining this. Consider that she may just be worried that you two are going to burn yourselves out. If you think that’s part of it, you might clue her in on what the greeting cards don’t tell you: Love is also a biochemical process, and a year and a half in, you’re surely out of the hormonal hurricane stage.

Florist Gump I love my girlfriend, but the other night on the phone, I said something that really hurt her feelings. I was out with my guy friends, and one said, “Get her flowers. Girls love that stuff.” I ran around in the middle of the night looking for them. Obviously, there were no florists open. I had to hit a slew of 7-Elevens. I came home with a rose and told her about my treasure hunt to find it. She loved it, and all was forgiven. For a flower? I don’t get it. —Temporary Jerk It is a little crazy that when you love a woman, you’re supposed to express it with a handful of useless weeds—that is, “Say it with flowers” and not something nice and practical, a la “Say it with a repeating stapler.” “A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose,” wrote Gertrude Stein. Sorry, Gertie. It’s actually not. A rose can also be a form of information—one that anthropologists call a “costly signal.” A costly signal is a message that’s more than just words—meaning it involves an investment of time, effort, risk, and/or money, which tells the recipient that it’s more likely to be sincere. So, the pointless extravagance of buying a woman flowers is exactly the point. To be willing to burn money on something so intrinsically useless suggests you’re either a natural-born idiot or so in love that it makes you droolingly dim. But—as you might argue—you only spent a few bucks on that rose. Well, context counts. Research by evolutionary social psychologist Yohsuke Ohtsubo and his colleagues points out that buying just one flower will make you look cheap—but only when “a more costly option (is) available” (like if you’re at a florist). Otherwise, effort counts. In other words, if you only bring your woman a single rose, casually mention that you got it by crawling over broken glass to 7-Eleven while dodging gunfire from the Albanian mob. (Or that you at least tried Rite Aid, CVS, and 12 other 7-Elevens first.)

You also might dial it down a little around her (not because you’re doing anything wrong but because it’s nice to avoid worrying Mumsy if you can). The reality is, we all sometimes get in other people’s AMY ALKON

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 36 / September 8, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half, and we really love each other. His parents adore me and are thrilled that he might not die alone. After his mom saw us being all cuddly in the supermarket, she warned him that we may be getting in people’s way or annoying them by “hanging all over each other.” (We aren’t doing anything dirty or gross—just hand-holding, play wrestling, quick kisses.) She wondered whether we do this because one of us is insecure. I felt sort of offended. We’re just affectionate. Most people who see us smile.

way when we’re trying to find something at the supermarket—organic Broccolini… grape kombucha…precancerous polyp in the girlfriend’s throat.

ASTROLOGY VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Is “Big Bang” the

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The last few weeks have been fraught with rich plot twists, naked dates with destiny, and fertile turning points. I expect there will be further intrigue in the near future. A fierce and tender decision at a crossroads? The unexpected arrival of a hot link to the future? A karmic debt that’s canceled or forgiven? In light of the likelihood that the sweetand-sour, confusing-and-revelatory drama will continue, I encourage you to keep your levels of relaxed intensity turned up high. More than I’ve seen in a long time, you have the magic and the opportunity to transform what needs to be transformed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the coming days, you will have more than your usual access to help and guidance. Divine interventions are possible. Special dispensations and charmed coincidences, too. If you don’t believe in fairy dust, magic beans, and lucky potions, maybe you should set that prejudice aside for a while. Subtle miracles are more likely to bestow their gifts if your reasonable theories don’t get in the way. Here’s an additional tip: Don’t get greedy. Use the openings you’re offered with humility and gratitude.

SAGITTARIUS 22-Dec. 21):

(Nov.

When my daughter Zoe was growing up, I wanted her to be familiar with the origins of ordinary stuff that she benefited from. That’s why I took her to small farms where she could observe the growth and harvest of organic food crops. We visited manufacturing facilities where cars, furniture, toys, and kitchen sinks were built. She saw bootmakers creating boots and professional musicians producing songs in recording studios. And much more. I would love it if you would give yourself comparable experiences in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. It’s an excellent time to commune with the sources of things that nurture you and make your life better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Unless you were brought up by a herd of feral donkeys, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to embark on your second childhood. Unless you’re allergic to new ideas, the foreseeable future will bring you strokes of curious luck that inspire you to change and change and change your mind. And unless you are addicted to your same old stale comforts, life will offer you chances to explore frontiers that could expose you to thrilling new comforts.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): These days, my dear, your eccentric beauty is even more unkempt than usual. I like it. It entertains and charms me. And as for your idiosyncratic intelligence: That, too, is messier and cuter and even more interesting than ever before. I’m inclined to encourage you to milk this unruly streak for all its potential. Maybe it will provoke you to experiment in situations where you’ve been too accepting of the stagnant status quo. And perhaps it will embolden you to look for love and money in more of the right places.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’m giving you an ultimatum, Pisces: Within the next 144 hours, I demand that you become at least 33 percent happier. Fifty percent would be even better. Somehow you’ve got to figure out what you can do to enhance your sense of well-being and increase your enjoyment of life. I’m sort of joking, but on the other hand I’m completely serious. From my perspective, it’s essential that you feel really good in the coming days. Abundant plea-

sure is not merely a luxury, but rather a necessity. Do you have any ideas about how to make this happen? Start here: 1. Identify your four most delightful memories, and re-enact them in your imagination. 2. Go see the people whose influences most thoroughly animate your selflove.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Two seven-yearold girls showed me three tricks I could use to avoid taking myself too seriously and getting too attached to my dignity. I’m offering these tricks to you just in time for the letting-go phase of your astrological cycle. Trick #1: Speak in a made-up language for at least ten minutes. Example: “Groftyp hulbnu wivgeeri proot xud amasterulius. Quoshibojor frovid zemplissit.” Trick #2: Put a different kind of shoe and sock on each foot and pretend you’re two people stuck in a single body. Give each side of you a unique nickname. Trick #3: Place an unopened bag of barbecue-flavored potato chips on a table, then bash your fist down on it, detonating a loud popping sound and unleashing a spray of crumbs out the ends of the bag. Don’t clean up the mess for at least an hour.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): About 1.7 million years ago, our human ancestors began using primitive hand axes made from rocks. This technology remained in use for over 60,000 generations before anyone invented more sophisticated tools and implements. Science writer Marcus Chown refers to this period as “the million years of boredom.” Its slow pace contrasts sharply with technology’s brisk evolution in the last 140 years. In 1880, there were no cars, planes, electric lights, telephones, TVs, or Internet. I surmise that you’re leaving your own phase of relatively slow progress, Gemini. In the coming months, I expect your transformations will progress with increasing speed -- starting soon.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest you spend less energy dwelling in profane time so you expand your relationship with sacred time. If that’s of interest to you, consider the following definitions. PROFANE TIME happens when you’re engulfed in the daily grind. Swarmed by a relentless flurry of immediate concerns, you are held hostage by the chatter of your monkey mind. Being in SACRED TIME attunes you to the relaxing hum of eternity. It enables you to be in intimate contact with your soul’s deeper agenda, and affords you extra power to transform yourself in harmony with your noble desires and beautiful intentions.

Build up your stamina, sweetheart. Feed your ability to follow through on what you’ve started, beautiful. Be persistent and spunky and gritty, my dear.” Alas, I’m not sure my psychic broadcasts have been as effective as I’d hoped. I think you need further encouragement. So please summon more fortitude and staying power, you gutsy stalwart. Be staunch and dogged and resolute, you stouthearted powerhouse.

best term we can come up with to reference the beginning of the universe? It sounds violent and messy—like a random, accidental splatter. I would much prefer a term that suggests sublime elegance and playful power -- language that would capture the awe and reverence I feel as I contemplate the sacred mystery we are privileged to inhabit. What if we used a different name for the birth of creation, like the “Primal Billow” or the “Blooming Ha Ha” or the “Majestic Bouquet”? By the way, I recommend that you consider those last three terms as being suitable titles for your own personal life story in the coming weeks. A great awakening and activation are imminent.

here is no doubt that the legal cannabis business is booming. In August, the Oregon Department of Revenue announced that it had collected more than $25 million in taxes on cannabis sales in the first six months of 2016. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) had previously estimated only $18.4 million in taxes in the entire first two years of sales. That means so far this year Oregonians and our visitors have consumed more than five times the amount of legal cannabis than the state expected.

In Colorado, cannabis sales are expected to surpass $1 billion this year. Sales in Washington are exceeding estimates as well. And this fall’s election will not be just about Trump and Clinton—it will also be the largest vote on cannabis in American history. Voters in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada will vote on legalizing recreational cannabis. And voters in Arkansas, Florida, Montana and North Dakota will vote on legalizing medical cannabis. Legalization in California would nearly triple the size of the recreational market, and current polls show the measure with a healthy lead. Currently, cannabis is grown, processed, and sold exclusively through small, family-owned businesses. As those businesses have grown, thousands more entrepreneurs have sought to cash in on the industry by starting support businesses—providing services such as sales and product tracking software, product delivery and laboratory testing. Cannabis industry investors say they are flooded with pitches from startups who want to be the “X of pot.” For example, Leafly has become the “Yelp of pot,” providing store location and menu information, as well as product and service reviews. But, as one recent study so succinctly put it, “(p)olicymakers and public health advocates must be aware that the tobacco industry or comparable multinational

organizations (eg, food and beverage industries) are prepared to enter the marijuana market with the intention of increasing its already widespread use.” And industry experts are seeing the potential for many cannabis startups to be devastated by competition from big companies looking to enter this new, lucrative business. Cannabis will soon be legal for a majority of Americans even if the federal government continues its prohibition. What will happen to local companies like Oregrown if Philip Morris decides to branch out from tobacco and start offering cannabis cigarettes? Can Lunchbox Alchemy survive if Nestle starts putting cannabis in S’mores and Oreo cookies? Already, the trend has begun. In June, Microsoft became the first major tech company to enter the cannabis industry by announcing that it would provide database services to cannabis companies. Previously, the market was shared by two startups. And last week in Portland, Bob Marley’s children, in control of his sizeable estate, rolled out “Marley Natural,” a line of high-end cannabis “lifestyle” products trading on Marley’s name and status as a legendary stoner. In northern California, so many growers are worried about competition from big corporations that many are actually opposing recreational legalization. Their concerns were heard by California’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy, which has recommended “a highly regulated market” to prevent “California’s next Gold Rush.” The closest historical parallel is the alcohol market, which was dominated by small, local producers when prohibition ended in 1933. The newly-legal market was soon dominated by large corporations, and it was over 50 years before “craft” brewers and distillers reemerged.
