Bans on hate speech don’t have to come from the government

T

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / January 4, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

4

his week, the new Network Enforcement Act law went into effect in Germany, requiring large Internet platforms to set up systems to report and even remove certain types of content, including threats of violence, slander, hate speech, fake news and other illegal materials. According to The Local.com, Facebook has already hired several hundred people in Germany to begin scouring the site for potential violations.

With “fake news” being one of the most-used terms of 2017, and the effects of that fake news on the 2016 United States presidential election still not fully understood, the initial reaction may be to applaud this law as one that could work to avoid dangerous information silos in the future. But not so fast. While keeping hate speech from carrying undue weight is a lofty goal, at least here in the U.S., it can’t come at the expense of free speech—as evidenced by the many times the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that, while unpopular, the views of white supremacists and the like cannot be banned by the government.

Yet, don’t take our support of the tenets of the First Amendment as evidence that we don’t support something being done to limit hate speech on social media sites. There are other ways to skin this cat that don’t butt up against free speech laws. For one, Title 47 of the U.S. Telecommunications Code states: “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of--any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable,

whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.”

In other words, social media platforms cannot be held liable should they decide to ban things like hate speech.

Furthermore, laws against defamation and making false statements only offer more ammunition for social media platforms to police their platforms more diligently.

Facebook and Reddit both began banning hate groups in the wake of the white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville, Va. last year. Today, Facebook’s Community Standards page states: “We also remove content that expresses support for groups that are involved in the violent or criminal behavior mentioned above. Supporting or praising leaders of those same organizations, or condoning their violent activities, is not allowed.” It took the death of a bystander in Charlottesville for that action to happen.

While the German set of standards rubs against our desire for free speech, without pressure, governmental or public, large social media companies simply will not act. You don’t see social media sites hiring hundreds of employees to enforce standards of decency domestically. It shouldn’t take further harm to occur before social media sites begin to act. Companies can be compelled to act appropriately through the sheer will of their users—especially when things including the health of our democratic elections hang in the balance. Currently, what they’re doing is not enough.

Germany has a different set of standards and laws, and while we applaud their government taking action to shut down fake news and hate speech, legislation isn’t the only way to achieve the desired result. SW

Ending net neutrality is another move by and for big business to make money at the expense of struggling Americans.

The Internet is now a necessary utility for anyone to fully function in society and it needs to be regulated as such, keeping it available to every citizen and giving equal access to every viewpoint.

Without net neutrality, the worst case could happen: 1. Large corporations will buy priority and small businesses and startups will have a hard time getting customers (as Alberghetti pointed out). This works against free enterprise and the competition available in a free market. The big get bigger and the small get squished.

2. Not just entertainment but news and information could be affected. The rich buy priority for their political friends and policy makers. Imagine when one political view is mostly (or only) accessible on your news feed.

3. Include religious views in the above statement. And advertising for anything. Money talks.

4. While Cappuccino is quoted as saying costs will not be passed along to consumers, have you ever known a company not to do that? They are in business to make a profit, are they not?

5. As a consumer of Internet, what control will you have? Perhaps your ISP will let you pay to have certain content let through. As Walden says, let business flourish.

Are you thinking I am mixing up the concepts of “blocking” and “throttling”?

No, I am not. Any content (ad, podcast, editorial, etc.) that is sufficiently throttled can be considered blocked in effect, even if not technically blocked completely.

IN RESPONSE TO, “I FOR ONE BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KILL WOLVES.” (12/20) LET WOLVES LIVE If you’re asking why wolves should be allowed to live, consider that all non-humans have intrinsic value. Instrumental value is that assigned by humans to the things we deem useful for food, clothing, shelter and/or entertainment (conveniently called “resources”).

Intrinsic value, on the other hand, is the right of all beings to exist for their own sake, free from human exploitation, torture or wrongful death—because they have value independent of humans whether we use them or not. Humility is prudent because the world is much bigger and more complicated than we know.

Biodiversity is crucial to survival but also makes life more interesting. I consider it an incredible gift to share the planet with other species. I can learn from them.

I can be thrilled by them. I can see something other and if I look hard enough I can see myself; the Oneness.

Life wants to live. We should let it.

Anthropocentrism should be a choice, not a right. You may have the power but you have no right to decide who lives and who dies. Your short life is too inconsequential in the big picture—the one that took some 5-10 billion years of evolution to create the magnificent web of life in which everything belongs. If you could keep in check your fear of the Other, you might be awed by it. And that is what makes life worth living.

IN RESPONSE TO, “PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCES. CASCADE-SISKIYOU: UNDER ATTACK OR SAVING A WAY OF LIFE?” (12/20) Where does the author of this junk come from?? He quotes the Antiquities Act but conveniently omits the most important sentence, “The limits of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with proper care and management of the objects to be protected.”

Referring to a television ad being run on local stations, they state that 2 million acres of federal land has been wiped off the map. If so where did it go? In fact it has been returned to public use for all Americans, not tied up by big money individuals so no one can enjoy it.

Just like the Mill Creek north of Prineville. That area had (been) logged for 100 years and roads built with taxpayer money. Several campgrounds built by volunteers to be used by everyone. Then someone decided it should be a wilderness (area).

Just how do you roll back 100 years of multiple-use by industry and public recreation use? The Antiquities Act and the ESA have been trashed and misused by the wacko elite for too long. Finally we have someone to fight for the public interests.

I will be very surprised if you publish this letter.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Mark, your argument that relaxing federal protections of public lands, “returns it to public use for all Americans, not tied up by big money individuals so no one can enjoy it,” is interesting when you consider a recent Washington Post investigation which showed a uranium mine allegedly lobbied to scale back Bear Ears National Monument. The proposed 85 percent reduction was heavily campaigned by the company in order to ease their access to uranium deposits.

So what were you saying about “big money…” Oh, right.

The driver of the truck that struck and killed a bicyclist on Dec. 30 has been arrested and charged with manslaughter in the first degree, DUII, reckless driving and three counts of recklessly endangering another.

At 3:21 pm, Deschutes County Sheriff’s deputies responded to an accident involving a pickup truck and a bicyclist near Dobb’s Road and Obernolte Road.

Police say Shantel Witt, a 41-yearold resident of Alfalfa, was driving her gray 2002 GMC Sierra pickup eastbound on Dobbs Road when she failed to negotiate a curve near the intersection of Obernolte Road. Police say her truck crossed through the opposite lane, striking 38-year-old Marika Stone who was riding her bicycle on the westbound shoulder. Stone died at the scene.

Two other bicyclist who were riding with Stone were uninjured in the accident.

Witt was released from Deschutes County Adult Jail after posting 10 percent of the $270,000 bail.

Investigators are asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash to call the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office at 541-693-6911.

Police discover body near Bend Parkway After responding to a vehicle crash east of Bend Parkway near Hawthorne Avenue last Wednesday evening, Bend police officers discovered a man’s body nearby between the Parkway and rail lines.

According to a press release from the Bend Police Department, police responded to a car accident involving a vehicle running into the BNSF tracks as a result of a medical condition Dec. 27. No injuries were reported in relation to the crash, but while investigating the accident police found the body of 24-year-old Robert Michael McKinney.

While an investigation is still underway, police say that the incidents are unrelated and they don’t suspect foul play.

McKinney doesn’t have a permanent address in Bend and police are asking that anyone with information about McKinney’s whereabouts between Dec. 9 and Dec. 27 call Officer Eric Russell at 541-693-6911. SW

NEW YEAR, NEW IDEAS. A guide to what’s on the docket for 2018, #inBend.

W

hen sorting through the various projects, initiatives and ideas for the upcoming year, a common theme emerges: out with glamourous investments (waterpark, anyone?) and back to basics—the critical systems that make a city run. You know, the not-sosexy stuff, like roads.

With an estimated six people moving to Bend each day, an increase of 6,000 new cars on our roads per year and the population set to increase by 40 percent in 10 years, according to the City of Bend, there’s no doubt there’s been a squeeze on our current infrastructure.

The ideas floating around Bend show the city is adjusting to the changing rural landscape of our community—to one of a thriving future metropolis.

New Council Rules = Efficiency How did the new City Council fare in its first year?

“In some ways it’s been satisfying and in other ways very frustrating,” says City Councilor Bill Moseley. “...The residents in Bend are so, so gracious…

But the council, well, it’s an odd group of people,” he adds laughing. “They’re effectively a board which oversees a $350 million budget with 600 employees. And if this was a nonprofit or in the private sector I don’t think you would pick this group of people to run it.”

Another change? A possibility of an elected mayor, with an increased fouryear term (also on the ballot in May).

Moseley adds, “With new people, rapid building, existing neighborhoods are getting denser and alarmed citizens want solutions. Our current structure emphasizes our very real problems.”

T is for Transportation With a newly appointed citizen-led Transportation Safety Committee, expect to see big ideas in the next 12 to 18 months surrounding the way Bendites move around the city.

The 25-person committee will hold monthly meetings beginning in February and will examine the best technical solutions, applicable to a city with such geographical and funding limitations.

“There are constraints in our city with the way it was originally built, the river, anchored by buttes and intersected with a railroad—so we’ll have to realistically see what we can do,” says Roats.

He points to existing projects connecting Murphy Road and 27th Street extensions as small progress and wants to tie in the 13 neighborhood associations to get more feedback.

Known as the board member who crunches numbers, Moseley agrees that transportation, as well as housing, are the two major players for 2018. “We’ll

“We need to focus on raising middle income wages, having tradespeople to build homes and provide housing across all income levels.” ­—BILL MOSELEY Moseley, CEO of the tech company, GL Solutions, points to the recent evaluation of City Manager Eric King, as an example of where old habits die hard.

“They didn’t want to measure his review based on how he met his goals but on how well he communicated. He’s effectively a chief executive who makes a quarter million dollars with benefits, and they didn’t want to assess him on facts.”

New council rules will help improve some of these processes. For one, new rules will restrict councilors from presenting new ideas to just one time, at the beginning of each month. Mayor Casey Roats, excited about the change, says “I literally think people would think of an idea on the spot, vocalize it out loud, with little research put into it,” adding, “it’s awfully easy for a group of volunteers to spread ourselves thin.”

get a lot of fixes,” says Moseley, a big advocate in the creative approach the city took to finding an additional $1.5 million for street preservation following last year’s heavy snowfall. “Everyone said there wasn’t any money, but with a bit of forward thinking we were able to find it.”

From Crisis to Solutions: Housing If 2017 was the year of highlighting the housing crisis, then 2018 could be the year of trying to mind the gap. The city developed just 132 affordable housing units in 2017, but Roats says, “We have to remember it takes a while for the housing market to respond.”

The city relaxed permitting requirements, trying to spur the construction of Accessory Dwelling Units and affordable housing. Moseley says the council could do better. “In my first year I was

Critical Services surprised at how seldom the council directs city staff in planning… and there isn’t a lot of specific goals.” He continues, “So you would hear housing was a big problem across all income levels and yet, it took me nine months to convince them to do a broad housing initiative.”

Moseley’s plan is in line with other council members thinking of a “multifaceted” approach. Instead of just focusing on subsidies—such as dropping System Development Charges on affordable housing projects— Moseley adds, “We need to focus on raising middle income wages, having tradespeople to build homes and provide housing across all income levels.”

“We need to prioritize planning dollars and move house plans ahead quicker than what they can do on their own,” says Roats, “We just need more supply, period.”

T is also for: Trails “Right now we’re finishing up our comprehensive plan which will be the guiding document for us in the next 10 years and will help prioritize project investment,” says Michelle Healy, planning and park services director at Bend Park and Recreation District. The main thing she’s heard from the community? Greater trail access, and equitable access.

Don Horton, BPRD’s executive director, says trails which were primarily built for recreational use also now need to be built or adapted with transportation use in mind. “Linking the eastside and westside are of course on our radar and we’re working with the city to try and get great crossing points at Third Street.” Horton says the future of transportation trails is

in using Central Oregon Irrigation District ditch-rider canals.

Riley Ranch, just opened on Dec. 20, is another highlight for 2018. The 184-acre nature reserve showcases the changing needs of the city, in that is doesn’t allow dogs or bikes. “It’s a space where people can commune with nature without those user groups. It’s been the first time we’ve done something like that,” says Horton, adding that last week, staff reported seeing a young black bear, an example of the wildlife the reserve attracts.

Investment in new parks in the southeast and northeast areas of the city are also on the docket with parks such as Alpenglow currently in the design process. Horton says he’s most excited about the addition of another community center at Larkspur. “We’re in our final design stages and then we’ll be looking at construction permitting.”

And...Mirror Pond?

“We’re waiting to see what direction parks is taking and what they want to support,” says Roats, “but it honestly feels like we’re getting some mixed signals.” Horton says there hasn’t been much discussion since the Department of State Lands requested Mirror Pond Solutions, LLC provide soil samples of the pond sediment and extended the deadline to Dec. 31, 2017. “We want to concentrate on our bank restoration project (along Mirror Pond) and honestly that project has become more costly than we were hoping.”

So it seems dredging Mirror Pond is dead in the water, for now. SW

HOT WEATHER BROKE RECORDS

DROUGHT SWEPT THE NORTHERN ROCKIES

While scientists don’t expect 2017 to beat out 2016 as the hottest year on record (though it will likely be among the top three), several Western states broke monthly heat records in 2017. Colorado and New Mexico experienced the warmest March in each state’s history. Along the Pacific coast, California, Oregon and Washington set records for the hottest August on the books. Autumn scorched the Four Corners states: Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah each broke its November heat record.

This year’s fires were fueled in part by severe drought. Exceptionally dry conditions in the northern Great Plains began in the spring and lasted into the fall, decimating crops in parts of Montana and the Dakotas.

The drought also left many pastures unable to support cattle. Fields were so parched that many ranchers were forced to sell their animals or rely on donations of hay to get by.

FIRE SPREAD SMOKE ACROSS THE WEST Wildfires raced across the West in 2017, with California hit particularly hard. The Golden State experienced the costliest, most destructive blazes in its history in October, when 44 people were killed and thousands of homes destroyed near Napa and Santa Rosa. Two months later, the Thomas Fire, now the state’s largest wildfire on record, started east of Santa Barbara on Dec. 4 and was still burning as 2017 came to a close.

In Montana, wildfires burned more than 1 million acres this year, filling the air with a haze of lung-damaging smoke, a problem that could get worse in the coming years. Scientists expect to see more fires and a longer fire season as temperatures rise across the West.

ARCTIC SEA ICE HIT A NEW WINTER LOW As the climate warms, the amount of sea ice in the Arctic is decreasing. Sea ice cover hits its maximum in March, when there’s typically two or three times as much ice as there is in September, after summertime melting.

In March 2017, Arctic sea ice peaked for the year — and broke the record for the lowest winter maximum ever recorded.

That could drive changes far from the North Pole. In December, scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Lab published a study elucidating the link between Arctic sea ice loss and drought in California.

CALIFORNIA STORMS BROUGHT RELIEF AND RUIN California’s latest drought was declared largely over in early April. But the deluges of winter rain along the coast that helped end the dry spell also brought destruction. Tens of thousands of people in San Jose evacuated due to flooding in February, some of whom were still displaced months after the disaster. And more than 180,000 people downstream of Oroville Dam were told to flee their homes on Feb. 12, when officials feared that damage to the dam’s two spillways could lead to a catastrophic, uncontrolled release of water. Though the reservoir walls held, preventing widespread flooding, repairs to the spillways are expected to cost more than $640 million.

California’s heavy rains also set off several landslides. In Big Sur, a major bridge was damaged beyond repair in February and sections of Highway 1, California’s iconic coastal route, were obliterated, leaving some communities inaccessible by car. The biggest slide, on May 20, blanketed a quarter-mile of the highway and created a new, 15-acre peninsula jutting into the ocean.

COLORADO HAILSTORM SMASHED COFFERS Rain wasn’t the only destructive weather that pummeled the West this year. On May 8, thunderstorms hit Denver, Colo., and the surrounding area, walloping buildings and cars with hail the size of baseballs. More than 100,000 vehicles were damaged. The final price tag for the destruction wrought by the barrage was more than $1.5 billion, making it the state’s most expensive hailstorm ever. SW

variety of natural forces—floods, fires, droughts and more—pounded the West in 2017, many of which are intensifying thanks to climate change. The year also saw an influx of evidence that humans have altered the earth’s climate so much that certain severe weather events would not have been possible in a pre-industrial world. “It’s quite bold for scientists to make these very strong statements,” says Andrew King, an expert on weather and climate at the University of Melbourne in Australia. That unflinching stance from researchers suggests that 2017 may have been a turning point in their confidence in the links between climate change and specific disasters. “For scientists to say that an event would be virtually impossible without climate change — they’re very sure.” We rounded up some of the most notable climate and weather events that rocked the West:

JUJU EYEBALL BEATLEMANIA



Do you miss the days of Beatlemania? Well, did you know that Bend has a pretty solid Beatles cover band? Now you do. From “She Loves You” to “She’s So Heavy,” Juju Eyeball plays all your favorites and everything obscure in between. You may know guitarist Paul Eddy from his many solo performances around town or his country western band, Long Tall Eddy but here he’s rounded out by Dan Larsson on bass and Karl Lindgren on drums. Both hail from Sweden, a hop skip and a jump from the birthplace of The Beatles, ya know? Together, with decades of experience, they bring The Beatles catalog to life for a fun night of dancing. 7-10PM. McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St., Bend. No cover.

By Anne Pick On the horizon of a new year, 2018 is already shaping up to be an INCREDIBLE year in music in Bend. Yes, that deserved all caps—it’s THAT good. While not all of the best shows are listed below, I’ve gone through and found the best of the best, my picks for can’t-miss shows that are coming to Bend this winter.

From the prime minister of funk himself, George Clinton, to “Getting Ready to Get Down” with Josh Ritter, there will be NO shortage of quality jams in town this year.

Feb 23

The Lique HIP-HOP/JAZZ — This may be one of the best bands you’ve never heard of and they are playing in Bend FOR FREE! That’s right, head down to McMenamins and enjoy the unique hip-hopmeets-jazz sounds of The Lique. The band hails from Las Vegas and brings its high-energy sound to Bend for an evening of infectious dancing you won’t want to miss. Gather your pals or a stranger (because its 2018 and you can try something new) and get ready to dance your snow boots off to The Lique.

Look for my interview with the band next week. // 7-10pm. McMenamins Old St. Francis School, 700 NW Bond St., Bend. No cover.

Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band FOLK/ROCK — I don’t know if it’s because “Getting Ready to Get Down” has a permanent place on my housemate’s playlists or if it’s just the genuine, raw talent that oozes from singer/ songwriter Josh Ritter, but this will no doubt be a “can’t miss show.” Singer Nicki Bluhm joins Ritter and the Royal City Band for a memorable evening of music that’s part of the Sisters Folk Festival Winter Music Series. Fingers crossed he plays “Kathleen,” one of my personal favorites — “All the other girls here are stars, you are the Northern Lights.” So, so good. // 7pm. Sisters High School, 1700 McKinney Butte Rd., Sisters. $15-$60.

Gogol Bordello with Lucky Chops GYPSY/PUNK — This may be the show I’m personally most excited for because if you’re a fan of San Francisco gypsy-punk rockers Diego’s Umbrella (local favorites who play the Apres-ski Bash at The Commons on March 9), you’ll love Gogol Bordello. The band formed in 1999 on the Lower EastSide of Manhattan and has since made a name for themselves with a theatrical stage show, constant touring and signature sound that blends gypsy rhythms with a punk rock mentality. Buy your tickets now, this show will be one for the record books. // 9pm. Midtown Ballroom, 51 NW Greenwood Ave, Bend. $31.

Mar 7

Donavon Frankenreiter & John Craigie SURF ROCK — Fans of singer/songwriters Jack Johnson and G. Love should be stoked for the announcement of Donavon Frankenreiter at the Domino Room. Why? Because Frankenreiter has opened for Johnson in the past and most recently worked alongside G. Love on the JAMTOWN project. Frankenreiter, a surfer himself, sings soft, relaxing surf-rock that will no doubt have you swaying to the beat while his soulful vocals and sincere storytelling will leave you hooked and wanting more. Enjoy that surfer's high you’ll get from listening to Frankenreiter, similar to that feeling of catching a gnarly wave in Hawaii, or so that’s what they tell me anyway. // 8pm. Domino Room, 51 NW Greenwood Ave, Bend. $20/adv at Bendticket.com.

Mar 15

George Clinton & ParliamentFunkadelic FUNK — Yes! This is happening! One of the most anticipated shows of the winter, funk king George Clinton brings Parliament-Funkadelic to the Midtown Ballroom. For funk lovers who are over the age of 21, dance and sweat like you never have before. Witnessing the “prime minister of funk” live should be on any music lover's bucket list and now you’ve got your chance. Contrary to the title of one of our fav P-Funk songs, don’t “Give Up the Funk,” embrace it with the master himself. // 8pm. Midtown Ballroom, 51 NW Greenwood Ave, Bend. $35/adv, $40/door. SW Dan Efram

Gogol Bordello brings their gypsypunk sounds to the Midtown Ballroom on 2/23.

Women in Film

Hollywood broke in 2017. Is it finally time for parity for the female filmmaker?

by Teafly Peterson 21

(directed by Martin Scorsese). Here are some films from the past you can watch, featuring strong female leads, sure to inspire you to seek out more films about women, and by women.

“Now, Voyager” (1942) Bette Davis plays a homely Boston socialite who has become an old maid and suffers a nervous breakdown (I know, so much drama). She finds herself and returns to society as a beautiful swan. The twist: she didn’t need a man for the transformation, and only selflove wins in the end! Even way back in 1942 this little gem would’ve passed The Bechdel Test.

“Mildred Pierce” (1945) Joan Crawford struts her stuff as a single mother who becomes a successful restauranteur. She gets in plenty of messes, mostly caused by the men in her life and one very, very spoiled daughter. Crawford is incredible and this classic movie is a must-see for any true cinephile.

“All About My Mother” (1999) OK, so this one is by Pedro Almodovar, a man. However, I can easily make the argument that there’s no other male director that writes women characters more robustly, and beautifully as Almodovar. This film is considered his masterpiece (and not just by me).

“Girlfight” (2000) An inspiring story of a girl who begins taking boxing classes after her brother refuses to go, from writer/director Karyn Kusama. You’ll be cheering just as much as you’re cringing.

Bette Davis gets a handy light from Paul Henreid in "Now. Voyager."

“Monsoon Wedding” (2001) Mira Nair made her first film in 1979, and since then the Indian filmmaker has proven she is a master of cinema, bringing her homeland to life in rich and complex films that traverse culture and gender. “Monsoon Wedding” is one of her biggest and most successful films and is sure to not disappoint.

“Lovely and Amazing” (2001) It took several years for Nicole Holofcener to be taken seriously in Hollywood. Her first film, “Walking and Talking,” in 1996, starred Anne Heche, Catherine Keener and Liev Schreiber and yet only found a limited audience.

It’s this sophomore work that I found to be one of her most enchanting films. In the last few years, her work has been a mainstay in cinemas, showcasing those quiet, in-between moments of life and friendships that can be oh-so-small and oh-so-complicated.

“Personal Velocity” (2002) Rebecca Miller’s second feature is a triptych of sorts, giving us three stories of three different women all trying to escape their current life and the men who confine them there.

“An Education” (2009) This film by Danish filmmaker Lone Scherfig was nominated for an Academy Award. Of course, like most films directed by women nominated for Academy Awards, Sherfig was not nominated as best director. It’s a great film—awards or not—that showcases what it’s like for a young girl to become a woman and learn how to navigate the world in that new capacity.

If 2018 continues on the path that 2017 started, we’ll surely hear from more women artists working in film… and that all-white, all-male Oscar ceremony will hopefully look very different in the years to come. SW

t seems that Hollywood officially broke in 2017, and aren’t we all lucky?

In an industry that has had 90 years of award ceremonies and has only awarded non-acting awards to women in major categories (best director, best picture, best screenplay) fewer times than the number of fingers you have on both hands, it seems like breaking so it can be rebuilt was really the only option.

In the last few years, we have seen the landscape of film and television change dramatically, with the new ways in which we watch movies. As a result, many more stories featuring women in lead roles, as lead writers, and as lead producers have emerged. Imagine that—we are now watching stories in which women are the lead characters, something that was unheard of even just 10 years ago. And those shows aren’t just good, they’re truly excellent. Some that make my list are “Broad City,” “SMILF,” “Insecure,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Chewing Gum,” “Fleabag” and the ever-so-wonderful “One Mississippi” with Tig Notaro.

In the past, films with women were not made so frequently and big stars such as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford saw their careers end long before the careers of Henry Fonda, Humphrey Bogart or Clark Gable. It wasn’t that the films weren’t good and didn’t exist, but much like how things ran in the rest of the world, Hollywood was run by men who wanted men-things.

You can find some gems throughout the years, and some of the best films about the female experience are actually directed by men, including “The Color Purple” (directed by Steven Spielberg) and “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”

Amanda Gow

Real experience meets strong leadership

By KM Collins

S

tepping into the executive director role at the Boys and Girls Club of Bend three months ago, Amanda Gow was prepared. Bend native, check. Ten years experience working with young people facing adversity, check. A stellar degree from the University of Oregon in international business and finance, check.

And, perhaps the icing on her skillset cake, "I would have been a perfect club kid," Gow states, "I was raised by an amazing, single dad. He was a huge support and worked hard to make sure my life could be better.

From two locations, the BGCB serves the entire—and rapidly expanding— Bend La-Pine School District. Programming for youth focuses on three key pillars: academic success, character and citizenship and healthy lifestyles. For the 1,200 members enrolled in 2016, this included keeping members on track to graduate from high school, learning to stay fit for life, community service and career preparedness.

Calling her work a dream come true, Gow believes in BGCB’s mission to inspire and enable all young

people—especially those most in need—to reach their fullest potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. Gow says, “Kids will rise to the bar set for them.”

Fundraising, grant writing, community relations, programming, child safety, HR, finances (the constant worry), staff support, family support and random building questions are noted by Gow as part and parcel of the job.

When asked what a day in her life looks like, she says, “Crazy. Every day is new and different and I have to try and balance the time I have carefully. For the most part I work on ensuring stable funding. We are 85 percent donor funded and 75 percent of kids are on full scholarship. Sadly, prevention programs aren’t highly funded at the state and federal level so it is up to me and this community to keep this place open and growing.”

And her favorite part of the job?

Obviously—the kids. “They make every day worth it. Being able to hear their stories about what the club means to them makes my heart full every day.”

Gow’s top priority is supporting her

team, “I think good leaders listen, make the tough decisions and support those around them. I can’t be a great leader without great staff.”

In addition to her nine-to-five, Gow moonlights as a consultant with the Guardian Group, a “team of teams,” comprised of former special operations military, law enforcement and intelligence community professionals, working to end sex trafficking in the United States. Gow’s team includes organizations like the United States Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

From a community perspective, Gow is fearlessly devoted to and sees her job with BGCB and the Guardian Group operating in tandem. “My life is dedicated to the kids in this community and ensuring their safety... I have seen firsthand the damage of the human trafficking slave trade and I know for the rest of my life I will dedicate energy into fighting human trafficking in any way that I can. Being brave is standing up everyday to what scares me, knowing that I do the work I do for the kids and for the

ARTWATCH

community.”

Female community members are a huge source of strength and inspiration in Gow’s efforts toward the well-being of Bend’s youth. She gives shout-outs to, “Mel Parker, Laura Handy, Kim Gammond, Linda English and Jennie Davis.

All of these women are passionate, intelligent and driven. I think women leaders need to support one another and learn from each other at all levels, from friends to co-workers.”

In a vision for the future of Bend, Gow wants youth to feel safe, heard, have a place to go for support and live up to their potential. “I want them to find their spark, their passion and run with it. I want to help them grow into good citizens and leaders," she says.

Just three months into the new job and Gow can add so much more to her executive director checklist. SW Boys & Girls Club of Bend www.bgcbend.org agow@bgcbend.org 541-610-5826

By Teafly Peterson

Last week I suggested you put a little more art into your life. Here are some good places to start.

Central Oregon Community College Blank Pages Workshops

Figure Drawing

Most artists also teach as a way to make steady income, and the area’s community college has some wonderful artists leading its classes—Bill Hoppe, Bill Cravis, Paula Bullwinkle and Aaron Lish, to name a few. Explore photography, sculpture, painting and more. These are not one-off classes, and not classes for someone unwilling to get dirty and maybe even fail. The classes will get you deep into something real and good and honestly, why make art if it doesn’t get you to those places?

There is no instruction in the class, so I guess, technically, it’s not a class.

However, for a few dollars you will be given an easel and a model and two hours of quiet, meditative drawing. Bring your own supplies. This is a great way for you to try to get back to drawing the way you keep saying you will. If you do give it a whirl, you’ll find that this community will be immensely supportive and even give you some good critique to help you grow and continue your practice.

Plenty of art classes offered

2nd Saturday of the month at The Workhouse This is a “get your feet wet” kind of writing class. You’ll meet other people, be given some prompts and be supported to read your work out loud. ACK! Yes—You read your work out loud! You don’t have to, but maybe just try it. It’s an easy way to get your hand moving, and in turn, your heart and head as well.

At The Workhouse, every Tuesday

If these three classes don’t feel like a good fit for you, try this: email an artist you like, ask them to sit with you and draw or paint or write. Ask to spend a couple of hours in their process with them so you can see what it feels like or how you can get started. And pay them for their time.

You will both leave feeling inspired and happy and part of an ever-growing community of artists. SW

It’s Appe-thai-zing at Nam Tok Kitchen

LITTLE BITES

New owners bring authentic, home-cooked and all gluten-free Lao menu to Bend

W

hen Pahlee (Lee) Bretoi and her ex-husband Daniel bought Thai Thai on the westside near Summit High School they tried to keep everything the same. But Bretoi, who was in charge of the food, discovered a lot of the recipes weren’t made from scratch. She said, “I wanted to make the food me and my family want to eat.”

So they changed the name to Nam Tok Kitchen— which means waterfall in Thai and Lao—thinking the name was befitting because Deschutes, the county we are in, also means waterfall.

With a new name came a new menu—all gluten free— and inspired by the Lao cuisine Bretoi grew up with.

Laos is a landlocked Southeast Asian country known for its mountainous terrain and is bordered by Myanmar (Burma), China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. It’s renowned for sticky rice with Laotians eating more of it than anyone in the world. Cooked with galangal (similar to the ginger we know but tougher and stronger) lemongrass and padaek—a fermented fish sauce.

This Laotian staple is featured throughout the menu and you should definitely try it.

The Nam Tok Kitchen menu is a simple list of dishes with no designated courses. Bretoi says in Lao there aren’t appetizers just small or regular plates.

Above, crispy peanuts are salt-tastic while below, Tom Kha Gai gives a pleasant sweet and sour kick.

Delicious Bites Benefit COCC Scholarship Program

Tantilizing beef and pork sausage, with crispy peanuts, make for a delictable treat at Nam Tok Kitchen.

The first few items on the menu, fried peanuts, crispy chicken wings, chicken satay and fried tofu make great sharing starters.

I started with a cocktail, the Isaan Vodka Zizz, a mixture of lemongrass-infused vodka, club soda, lime juice, ginger and egg white. The egg white was missing, I could tell because it didn’t have the foamy head on top, similar to a cappuccino. This was a bummer since the egg white would have integrated the flavors into the cocktail. I ordered the Tua Din, or fried peanuts, as a snack with my cocktail. The peanuts were coated with garlic, chili, kaffir lime leaves and a copious amount of salt. I was ravenous so I kept eating the peanuts; they had a really nice spice but I probably developed high blood pressure from all that sodium.

For dinner I ordered Tom Kha Gai,—a spicy and sour coconut chicken soup— and a house special combination meat plate with Sai Oua or Lao pork sausage, and heavenly beef, a marinated house-made beef jerky.

When the waiter delivered my meal he explained the traditional way to eat the combination plate. I was instructed to grab a small handful of sticky rice and roll it into a ball, then dip it into the spicy fish sauce or spicy tomato chili sauce and top it with meat. I did exactly that and enjoyed eating with my hands.

The Lao sausage had a nice crispy skin and a soft, lightly fiery interior. I liked the sausage paired with the hot and sour fish sauce, Jeow Som—it made all the flavors pop.

If you’re a jerky lover, then the heavenly beef was made for you. It’s lightly sweet with tangy heat, sprinkled with

sesame seeds and isn’t quite as chewy as traditional American jerky. Again, I found the fish sauce my dipping sauce of choice. There is something about that sourness that melds all of the flavors and makes your taste buds dance.

Tom Kha Gai is my favorite Thai soup so I couldn’t wait to try it. Nam Tok Kitchen’s version is sweet and homey. I was surprised it had tomatoes, the skins added a weird texture but it’s the recipe Bretoi grew up with.

Bretoi visited the dining room while I was eating and came to each table to make sure everyone was enjoying their meal. She was happy to answer questions diners had about her new restaurant and was sweet, sincere and genuinely excited to be sharing her food with our community. Settling in her new role as a restaurant owner she told me she had learned everything she knew from her mother and aunt who had owned a catering business.

Nam Tok Kitchen’s menu is made entirely from scratch and is gluten-free—which is quite the feat most restaurants can’t claim. Even though there is only one vegan option, if asked, Bretoi says she can usually make a vegan version of most dishes.

So whether you’re looking for gluten free or some colorful flavors for your palate, the addition of Lao cuisine to Bend is exciting and I can’t wait to go back and try some of the noodle dishes, fried rice and curries. SW Nam Tok Kitchen

Founders’ massive maple stout hits home

no Canadian-made ingredients are used.

Both KBS and CBS have enjoyed top20 spots in RateBeer’s best-reviewed beer list since at least 2014, but for most of that time, the stouts were only available in Founders’ core distribution radius—i.e., Michigan and points eastward.

Things have rapidly changed for the brewery in the past year, however, as its recent expansion (bankrolled in part by Spanish beer giant Mahou-San Miguel, which holds a minority stake) allows fans to enjoy All Day IPA and regular old Breakfast Stout from sea to shining sea.

The 2017 release of CBS marks the first time the beer has been available in all 46 states Founders now distributes in (sorry, Colorado). 750-milliliter bottles are popping up in shops across Bend, usually on an “ask for availability” basis, at a price of $24.99 each. That’s pretty hefty, but it provides an experience that can’t be found anywhere else—a hefty stout, delicate liquor and dessert treat all in one.

Don’t want to invest in so much at once? Never fear—The Brown Owl, which is turning into Central Oregon’s unofficial home for Founders events, has a keg of CBS they plan to tap at 6 pm this Friday. It’ll be offered alongside two other bourbon-infused monsters: Ten Fidy from Oskar Blues, and the B-Bomb imperial winter ale from Fremont Brewing. It’s a night guaranteed to warm up even the coldest of beer-loving hearts.

t’s not often that one of the most sought-after beers in the eastern United States gets an official release in Bend, a place all about keeping it local with food and drink. Founders Brewing Company, however, is shattering that mold with its current release of CBS, which (until now) was the sort of rare bottle that beer nerds would chase delivery trucks around the Upper Midwest to score even a remote chance of purchasing.

What is CBS? It’s a barrel-aged imperial stout and the latest entry in the Michigan-based brewery’s Barrel-Aged Series rotation, which also includes the Doom imperial IPA and Frootwood cherry ale. It has its origins in Kentucky Breakfast Stout, another highly sought-after stout aged in bourbon barrels. Packed with coffee, chocolate, and elegant liquor notes, KBS has become a phenomenon in its hometown of Grand Rapids, which devotes an entire week to its formal release in March.

CBS, meanwhile, was created in 2011 when the brewery teamed up with fellow Grand Rapids outfit BLiS Gourmet, which specializes in syrups, sauces and other products aged in bourbon barrels.

The core beer for KBS was matured in a few such barrels, originally used by BLiS for aging maple syrup, and the result— the KBS everyone knew and loved, with a sweet finish to top it all off—became an instant legend. Such was the birth of Canadian Breakfast Stout, now abbreviated to CBS since (technically speaking)

That’s the Spirit!

COCO: Leave it to Pixar to make a cute and heartwarming animated film about death and remembrance. “Coco” follows a young Mexican boy who travels to the Land of the Dead in order to follow his dreams to be a musician.

With groundbreaking animation and hauntingly beautiful music, “Coco” is the finest Pixar film in years. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DARKEST HOUR: Gary Oldman is on the fast track for his first Oscar as a heavily madeup Winston Churchill.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX DOWNSIZING: Director Alexander Payne is

responsible for the brilliant satires “Election” and “Citizen Ruth,” but advanced word says this is another ill-timed white savior narrative disguised as a woke dramedy. The idea of shrinking people to fit their environments is a great one, but if the characters don't work then none of it will. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FATHER FIGURES: Owen Wilson and Ed

Helms play brothers crossing the country searching for their birth father. The supporting cast features Ving Rhames, J.K. Simmons, Glenn Close, Christopher Walken and Katt Williams, so even though the trailer is bad, there might be some genuine laughs. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

FERDINAND: An animated adventure about a giant bull trying to escape from his cruel captors. With the voice talents of John Cena, Kate McKinnon, David Tennant and Anthony Anderson, “Ferdinand” should be a funny and fast-paced flick for the kids. The humor in the trailer is fairly juvenile, so don't expect Pixar-level animation.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema THE FLORIDA PROJECT: Director Sean Baker was responsible for 2015's brilliant “Tangerine” and 2012's profanely moving “Starlet,” so expect “The Florida Project” to be another wonderful little film. Starring Willem Dafoe and a star-making performance by Brooklynn Prince, “The Florida Project” will definitely be a contender during awards season. Sisters Movie House THE GREATEST SHOWMAN: Hugh Jackman started his career as a song and dance man, so it's fitting that this Christmas he returns in a giant Hollywood musical about the life of P.T. Barnum. Who wants to guess whether the film soft pedals the animal abuse and mistreatment

of the side show attractions? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE:

Loosely connected to the original “Jumanji” starring Robin Williams, this reboot updates the story of kids sucked into a board game into something for the digital age. Starring Kevin Hart, Jack Black, The Rock and Karen Gillan, this looks much more entertaining than it has any right to be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

THE LAST JEDI: The darkest and most emotionally brutal “Star Wars” film since “The Empire Strikes Back” sees the characters we know and love put through the wringer in one scene after another. This might not be a crowd pleaser in the same way “The Force Awakens” was, but it's a mature and nuanced entry into the beloved franchise. This will only become more beloved as it ages. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema PITCH PERFECT 3: This is the little franchise

that could. The entire cast returns in what is being advertised as the last film in the series, but if it's a success I'm sure the Bellas can be talked into one more aca-venture. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE SHAPE OF WATER: The delightful

love story about a mute cleaning woman and her torrid romance with a fish monster. It begins to make more sense knowing it's from the mind of visionary filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, the mastermind behind “Crimson Peak” and “Pan's Labyrinth.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE STAR: Who doesn't love anthropomor-

phized animals hanging around the birth of Christ?? “The Star” follows a brave little donkey and his friends Camel, Lady Horse, Sheep Guy, Other Camel and Dogma as they hang around for the first Christmas. A cross between “The Secret Life of Pets” and Sunday School. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI: Writer/Director Martin

McDonagh, who is responsible for the modern classics, “Seven Psychopaths” and “In Bruges,” brings us another darkly hilarious look at human nature. With awards-worthy performances by Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell, “Three Billboards” is a wildly original piece of art that should not be missed. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

WONDER: The little movie that could! This follows a facially disfigured little boy entering a public school for the first time, in fifth grade. The film looks heartwarming in all the right ways and reviews say that it actually stays on the right side of schmaltz and ends up being a miraculous little movie.

SCREEN So Many Movies, So Little Time A look at the films of 2018

By Jared Rasic

January 12: “The Commuter” Liam Neeson has become the “Dr. Seuss” of actors over the last few years, so there isn’t much to say about this film but, “Liam Neeson will fight you in a plane, Liam Neeson will fight you on a train, or maybe next year on a bus, Liam Neeson fights all of us.”

February 2: “Winchester: The House that Ghosts Built” Helen Mirren and the team behind “Daybreakers” take on “The Winchester Mystery House.” I feel like I’ve been waiting for this film my entire life without knowing it AND it's Helen Mirren. So, is it February yet?

February 16: “Black Panther” It’s long overdue: an African-American led superhero franchise. With Marvel having had their best year ever with, “Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Thor: Ragnarok," why should we doubt them now?

March 9: “A Wrinkle in Time” From Ava DuVernay, director of “Selma,” comes a visually stunning adaptation

29

of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved children’s story. Expect this to be the first awards contender of the new year.

March 23: “Isle of Dogs” Wes Anderson returns to stop-motion animation with this fable about a future where dogs have been quarantined to an island of garbage and the young boy who ventures there to search for his missing dog, Spots.

March 23: “Unsane” A psychological horror film from none other than certified genius Steven Soderbergh—who hasn't dipped his toe in such dark waters since 1991’s “Kafka.” In this case it’s about a woman fighting her fears in a mental institution. Cue the greatness.

April 6: “You Were Never Really Here” This received a seven-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival and was hailed as Joaquin Phoenix’s finest performance to date. Director Lynne Ramsay is the finest female director working, so expect something truly remarkable.

April 20: “Super Troopers 2” The Broken Lizard guys haven’t really made a great movie since (arguably) “Beerfest,” so here’s hoping they can recapture the magic that made “Super Troopers” such a quotable cult classic.

Lightning doesn’t usually strike twice, but it’s hard not to be optimistic about this one. “Meow.”

May 4: “Avengers: Infinity War” All 19 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been leading to this one and with Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans

A mystery house, a “Black Panther” and an “Isle of Dogs.”

and Chris Hemsworth all reaching the end of their contracts, expect some heroes not to survive.

Hey Hollywood...call me.

May 25: “Solo: A Star Wars Story” What’s really exciting about this is the casting of Donald Glover as Lando Calrissian. I’m not sure that we need the adventures of a young Han Solo, but I suppose it’s better than the secret history of Boba Fett or an exploration of the mating habits of Wookies.

I grew up with this book featuring illustrations by the incomparable Edward Gorey, so I can’t even imagine what a film version of it would even look like. With a cast featuring Jack Black, Cate Blanchett and Kyle MacLachlan I am willing to cede the benefit of doubt.

June 1: “Deadpool 2” Obviously.

July 13: “The Nun” A spin-off from “The Conjuring 2” and “Annabelle: Creation,” the concept of an investigation into the mysterious death of a nun in 1950s Romania gives this a fascinating place to start.

August 3: “The Predator” It’s time. We need a good “Predator” movie and Shane Black from “The Nice Guys” is exactly the man to give it to us.

Maybe he can fight a “terminator” in it?

September 21: “The House with a Clock in its Walls”

October 5: “A Star is Born” A remake of the beloved Judy Garland classic starring Lady Gaga and directed by Bradley Cooper? Put this inside me right now!

November 9: “Holmes and Watson” Yes, we’ve had plenty of Sherlock Holmes. However, this one has Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as the titular duo.

If they bring their “Step Brothers” mojo then it might be a modern comedy classic.

Or another “Get Hard.” Either way.

December 25: “Mary Poppins Returns” Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins. That is all. SW

urprisingly, last year turned out to be the best year for films in recent memory. From lovingly crafted indies such as “Lady Bird” to the challenging and eye-popping spectacle of “War for the Planet of the Apes” — 2017 gave us some all-timers. Obviously, it’s too soon to tell whether 2018 will be just as memorable.

Some films haven’t been announced and there are some from this list that may not be released. Yet, there’s still quite a few movies that have me way too excited.

Providing private, compassionate euthanasia services for your cats & dogs in the privacy of your pet’s home.

The extinct Dodo bird, gone but not forgotten. (Photo taken by Jim Anderson in Peabody Museum, Yale University, New Haven, Conn.)

In the early 1800s they were estimated to be in the billions and could be found in forests from the east side of the rockies to upper New York state.

Moreover, when they migrated to their southern haunts in winter, millions of them were seen in immense flights — over a mile-wide and 300 miles long — so many birds they blotted out the sun.

The sun!

Passenger pigeons nested in colonies of such magnitude it is almost unbelievable — over 100 nests in just one tree.

Multiply that by millions of trees in hardwood forests throughout the Mid-

Soon after the dodo became extinct, the Mauritian “calvaria” trees seeds stopped sprouting and it appeared it would soon face extinction itself. Apparently, calvaria seeds would only germinate after passing through the dodo bird’s digestive system.

You’d think with the story of the dodo bird as an example of our ability to wipe out a species we would have been more sensitive to our responsibilities. The fate of the passenger pigeon proved otherwise as they were perhaps the most abundant bird ever to live on the face of the earth.

west and East and you come up with billions of birds.

Unfortunately, it was those 300-mile long flocks of passenger pigeons that led to their demise; meat hunters selling their remains to the hotels in New York believed they were inexhaustible.

Passenger pigeons were a little larger than present day rock doves and flew just about as fast – close to 60 miles an hour. Hunters who didn’t want to waste ammunition trying to hit such a fast flyer found it was a lot easier to kill them when they were nesting — as the plume-hunters discovered in the early 1900s when they slaughtered egrets, just for their feathers to put in lady’s

hats.

Pigeons killed at the nesting sites left eggs and young to die; consequently the fate of the passenger pigeon was sealed. Only one egg was laid normally, incubated by the female and fed by both parents, but only until the youngster could stand and had feathers. About two weeks after hatching the adults just up and deserted the chick, leaving it to fend for itself.

With the advent of the telegraph, meat-hunters knew exactly where pigeons were at all times, and exactly when they arrived at the nesting trees and then set about slaughtering them.

Only the breasts were taken, packed in ice and delivered by train to expensive restaurants in New York and other eastern cities.

By 1910, there was only one female passenger pigeon left on Earth, Martha (named after Martha Washington, wife of the first president of our country), living in the Cincinnati Zoo. At 1pm, on Sept. 1, 1914, Martha died at the age of 29 years.

Looking at the growing population of American bald eagles flying around Oregon today, I’m so thankful that we have learned a lesson from the passing of the dodo bird and passenger pigeon. But as I look at the destruction of our greater sage grouse habitat, converted into cow pastures and the new dictate from President Trump cutting up our national parks, I wonder, “Have we really learned our lesson?” SW

s a (sometimes extreme) conservationist, I find the idea of human-caused, species extinction, incomprehensible and unforgivable. In short, we know better. When a species is extinct, it’s gone. Done. Kaput. Dead forever.

Our power to send a species into oblivion was first documented in 1598 when Portuguese sailors landing on the shores of the Southeast African island of Mauritius, discovered a previously unknown species of gigantic pigeon, the dodo, Raphus cucullatus, so named for its lack of fear of men who killed them.

Another aspect of their demise were the confounded rats that deserted the ships and came ashore to help eat native animals and plants into extinction.

Having been isolated from contact with humanity by its island location, the immense pigeon waddled over and greeted the new visitors with a childlike innocence. The sailors, however, mistook the gentle spirit of the dodo, and its lack of fear for stupidity and dubbed the bird “dodo” (similar to simpleton in Portuguese).

Because the bird was larger than our Thanksgiving turkey — but far easier to catch — hungry sailors killed them by the tens of thousands and those that survived the sailor’s appetite had to face introduced rats, cats and dogs.

Dogs, pigs and rats carried-on ships soon became feral after being released into the Mauritian ecosystem. Due to the sailors meat-hunting and predation by introduced animals, in a mere 83 years, the last dodo was dead.

The world was left worse with its passing.

As one of the earliest recorded examples of modern eco-vandalism, the impact of the Portuguese sailors on Mauritius not only wiped out the poor

Multi-Generational Living: The New Frontier of American Life?

D

because Americans are living longer, the number of Americans over the age of 80 is expected to double by 2035 where one third of households will be headed by someone over the age of 65.

This current and anticipated future change has also influenced building styles, with many builders now creating private attached-style suites or additional dwelling units (ADUs). Zoning laws are changing in many cities to accommodate this need as well. Higher density and allowance of ADUs has been an issue in Bend for many years.

It’s expected that growth and longer life expectancies of the senior population will create increased demand for affordable multi-generational housing. As a realtor, I often encounter clients who express a desire to find homes suitable to convert to separate adjoining living spaces for parents or their children.

While economic necessity during the Great Recession may have given multi-generational households a growth spurt, it is becoming a preference for those who recognize the many benefits—beyond finances.

uring the recent Great Recession, many millennials found themselves moving back to their parents' homes or delaying moving out. While housing affordability has been a strong influence on the increase in multi-generational living, this more traditional lifestyle is being embraced by more Americans and is also influencing new housing design.

According to Pew Research Center data, in 2014, 60.6 million Americans lived in multigenerational homes, including 26.9 million in three-generation households. This research represents figures of multi-generational households representing 19 percent of the population and a reversal of previous trends. As a comparison, in the 1980s, the rate was only 12 percent compared to the 1950s rate of 21 percent.

Immigration and the aging population has played a strong role in this shift.

According to the report, 25 percent of Latino households and 28 percent of Asian households were multi-generational, while white households were just 15 percent. According to the Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies,

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Venus Envy

I’m a 30-something woman, tall and thin, whom friends describe as beautiful, People often assume things are handed to me on a silver platter. I’m financially independent, have a full-time job, own a home, car and dress modestly. What can I do to change their perceptions?

—Not Just Skin Deep

Sadly, complaints about the difficulty of being eye candy in a world of eye-kale tend not to engender much sympathy and researchers haven’t helped matters. There’s a considerable pile of research that has found a “beauty premium”—a bias toward hiring/promoting the hotties of the workforce—and an “ugliness penalty” holding back the more Shrekalicious among us.

According to a 2017 paper by evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa and sociologist Mary Still, once you drill down into the details though you see a more nuanced result: “It appears that more beautiful workers earn more, not because they are beautiful, but because they are healthier, more intelligent,” and have more desirable personality traits: more conscientiousness and extroversion and less neuroticism.

Sure, this probably sounds absurd— this association of good looks with intelligence, a winning personality, and good health. However, take that last one. It turns out that beauty is more than nice human scenery; it’s also advertising for what’s on the inside. For example, consider this: “Facial bilateral symmetry” is anthropologist-ese for both sides of a person’s face being a strong match—meaning, for example, that one eyelid isn’t a little droopier than the other. Facial or bodily asymmetry is an indicator of the presence of parasites

or disease and we evolved to be drawn to healthy people.

Getting back to you, just as previous research on “the beauty premium” failed to zoom in on the details, there’s a good chance you’re seeing your problem a little too broadly. Research on sex differences by psychologist Joyce Benenson suggests it’s probably women who are doing most or all of the sneering.

Men—from childhood on—tend to be comfortable with hierarchy and openly duking it out for top spots in a way women are not. Women tend to engage in covert aggression — like with frosty treatment and undermining remarks — in hopes of making another woman dim her own shine and voluntarily relocate lower down the ladder.

The best way to combat such sniping in the moment is to go placid pokerface, treating their comments like lint to brush off— there’s little satisfaction in verbally battering somebody who doesn’t appear to care.

In the long run, your best bet is being somebody who’s hard to hate. Research by behavioral economist Ernst Fehr suggests it’s in our self-interest to be altruistic—to engage in behavior that’s somewhat costly to us (in, say, time or energy) in order to benefit other people: developing a reputation as someone who’s always looking out for your colleagues’ interests—like by tipping off co-workers about opportunities and publicly cheering their achievements.

Finally, if I’m right that women are your main detractors, consider Benenson’s observation that women show each other they aren’t a threat through sharing vulnerabilities—revealing weaknesses and problems. Ideally, of course, as in don’t use, “Sorry I’m late. ANOTHER guy drove into a pole looking at me, and I had to wait with him for the ambulance.”

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21-July 22): I predict that in 2018 you will figure out how to get your obsessions to consistently work for your greatest good. You will come to understand what you must do to ensure they never drag you down into manic self-sabotage.

The resolute ingenuity you summon to accomplish this heroic feat will change you forever. You will be reborn into a more vibrant version of your life. Passions that in the past have drained and confused you will become efficient sources of fuel for your worthiest dreams.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Let your freak

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Just because you have

flag fly” was an expression that arose from the hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s. It was a colorful way to say, “Be your most unique and eccentric self; show off your idiosyncrasies with uninhibited pride.” I propose that we revive it for your use in 2018. I suspect the coming months will be a favorable time for you to cultivate your quirks and trust your unusual impulses. You should give yourself maximum freedom to explore pioneering ideas and maverick inclinations. Paradoxically, doing so will lead to stabilizing and enduring improvements in your life.

become accustomed to a certain trouble doesn’t mean you should stop searching for relief from that trouble. Just because a certain pain no longer knocks you into a demoralized daze for days at a time doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Now here’s the good news: In 2018, you can finally track down the practical magic necessary to accomplish a thorough healing of that trouble and pain. Make this the year you find a more ultimate cure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I suggest you start compiling a list entitled, “People, Places, Ideas, and Things I Didn’t Realize Until Now That I Could Fall in Love With.” And then keep adding more and more items to this tally during the next ten months. To get the project underway in the proper spirit, you should wander freely and explore jauntily, giving yourself permission to instigate interesting mischief and brush up against deluxe temptations. For best results, open your heart and your eyes as wide as you can. One further clue: Act on the assumption that in 2018 you will be receptive to inspirational influences and life-transforming teachings that you have never before been aware of.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 2018, your past will undergo transformation. Your memories will revise and rearrange themselves. Bygone events that seemed complete and definitive will shimmy and shift, requiring new interpretations. The stories you have always told about how you became who you are will have to be edited, perhaps even rewritten. While these overhauls may sometimes be disconcerting, they will ultimately be liberating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In 2018, people will be drawn to you even more than usual. Some will want you to be their rock—their steady, stable source of practical truth. Some will ask you to be their tonic—their regular, restorative dose of no-nonsense. And others will find in you a creative catalyst that helps them get out of their ruts and into their grooves. And what will you receive in return for providing such a stellar service? First, there’ll be many opportunities to deepen and refine your integrity. To wield that much influence means you’ll have to consistently act with high-minded motivations. And secondly, Taurus, you’ll get a steady supply of appreciation that will prove to be useful as well as gratifying.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Influences that oppose you will fade as 2018 unfolds. People who have been resistant and uncooperative will at least partially disengage. To expedite the diminishing effects of these influences and people, avoid struggling with them. Loosen the grip they have on your imagination. Any time they leak into your field of awareness, turn your attention instead to an influence or person that helps and supports you. Here’s another idea about how to collaborate with the cosmic rhythms to reduce the conflict in your life: Eliminate any unconscious need you might have for the perversely invigorating energy provided by adversaries and bugaboos. Find positive new ways to motivate yourself.

HAPPY HOUR Cozy up

with The Source Weekly’s Winter Edition of The Happy Hour Guide! From hot toddies to delicious ales, sliders to salads, we’ve got your guide to the best happy hour deals in town. Let our reader’s know what you’re serving up in this local’s favorite guide!

On Stands January 25th / Advertising Deadline January 19th advertise@bendsource.com

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you ever nursed a yearning to speak Swahili or Chinese or Russian?

The coming months will be an excellent time to get that project underway. Do you fantasize about trying exotic cuisines and finding new favorite foods?

I invite you to act on that fantasy in 2018. Is there a form of manual labor that would be tonic for your mental and physical health? Life is giving you a go-ahead to do more of it. Is there a handicraft or ball game you’d like to become more skilled at?

Get started. Is there a new trick you’d like to learn to do with your mouth or hands? Now’s the time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Before the fifteenth century, European nations confined their sailing to the Mediterranean Sea. The ocean was too rough for their fragile, unadaptable ships. But around 1450, the Portuguese developed a new kind of vessel, the caravel. It employed a triangular sail that enabled it to travel against the wind. Soon, exploratory missions ventured into the open sea and down along the coast of West Africa. Eventually, this new technology enabled long westward trips across the Atlantic. I propose that we make the caravel your symbol of power for 2018, Libra. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will find or create a resource that enables you to do the metaphorical equivalent of effectively sailing into the wind.

Winter Events ISSUE

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Aztecs were originally wanderers. They kept moving from place to place, settling temporarily in areas throughout the land we now call Mexico. An old prophecy told them that they would eventually find a permanent home at a site where they saw an eagle roosting on a cactus as it clutched a snake in its talons. There came a day in the fourteenth century when members of the tribe spied this very scene on an island in the middle of a lake. That’s where they began to build the city that in time was the center of their empire. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, so it can serve as a metaphor to guide you in 2018. I suspect that you, too, will discover your future power spot— the heart of your domain for years to come.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Not every minute of every day, but when you have had the time, you’ve been searching for a certain treasure.

With patience and persistence, you have narrowed down its whereabouts by collecting clues and following your intuition. Now, at last, you know its exact location. As you arrive, ready to claim it, you tremble with anticipation. But when you peel away the secrets in which it has been wrapped, you see that it’s not exactly what you expected. Your first response is disappointment. Nevertheless, you decide to abide in the presence of the confusing blessing and see what happens. Slowly, incrementally, you become aware of a new possibility: that you’re not quite ready to understand and use the treasure; that you’ll have to grow new capacities before you’ll be ready for it in its fullness.

will be a major theme for you in 2018. Or at least it should be. But I suppose it’s possible you’re not very interested in soulful beauty, perhaps even bored by it. Maybe you prefer skin-deep beauty or expensive beauty or glamorous beauty. If you choose to follow predilections like those, you’ll lose out on tremendous opportunities to grow wilder and wiser. But let’s hope you make yourself available for a deeper, more provocative kind of beauty—a beauty that you could become more skilled at detecting as the year unfolds.
