T

hings are hot right now in the Oregon Legislature—and the 2019 session hasn’t even started yet.

Last week, the Commissioner of the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industry, Brad Avakian, released a 52-page investigation relating to sexual harassment within the Legislature. The report, stemming from the complaints made by two Oregon female senators against former Sen. Jeff Kruse, detailed how legislative leadership, including House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland) and Senate President Peter Courtney (D-Salem) failed in adequately addressing those complaints.

The alleged actions of local lawmakers are also mentioned in the report.

Kruse resigned in February, after the complaints from Sens. Sara Gelser (D-Corvallis) and Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Portland) came forward the previous autumn.

According to the new BOLI report, Republican leadership—including Sen. Tim Knopp (R-Bend), even considered suing Gelser after she made her initial complaint.

According to the report, “Gelser stated that Senator Knopp alerted her that the Senate caucus leadership were in discussions with Senator Kruse about how he could sue her, and how they could have her expelled from the Legislature for having this brought forward.” No lawsuit emerged.

To say that the BOLI report has dropped a bomb on the Oregon Legislature is perhaps an understatement. It’s a bomb that has us wondering how lawmakers, tasked with creating the laws the rest of us must follow, could misstep so significantly. Was there an adequate process in place to protect alleged victims and alleged perpetrators—and how can businesses and organizations ensure they don’t make the same mistakes?

Since the initial complaints against Kruse surfaced, an Oregon State Capitol Workplace Harassment work group was formed, which released recommendations last month for how the Capitol should move forward. The group’s final report points out holes in the current harassment policies in the Capitol, including noting that complaints under

current personnel rules only allow formal complaints to be filed by “legislators and legislative employees, interns, or volunteers”— excluding others who work in the State Capitol. The report also identified issues around who should investigate allegations of harassment, whether the process should be confidential, and other issues.

The fact that so many holes existed within the policies of Oregon’s most prominent governmental body should give us all pause, reminding organizations that it’s never a bad time to review their own policies and processes.

Since the emergence of the #MeToo movement, some have expressed concern about false allegations taking down otherwise decent people. That’s exactly why organizations and businesses should act now to review their harassment policies, to establish a process for investigating claims and to inform employees about those policies and processes. In the case of the complaints within the Oregon legislature, there was some uncertainty about whether the complaints should be handled by the Legislature’s own Conduct Committee, or by BOLI. The complainants in that case ultimately opted to go outside their own organization to seek help.

“There were women calling me and this agency that needed help,” BOLI’s Avakian said in an interview with Oregon Public Broadcasting. “They needed a place to voice their concerns, and they didn’t feel like they had one.”

Similarly, workers—and contractors and laypeople—have the option to file a complaint within the organization in which they work, or to turn to BOLI or the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Both of those agencies offer guidelines and trainings for employers, in addition to fielding complaints and conducting investigations around workplace harassment.

The bottom line: Watching a debacle inside a high-level government agency demonstrates that even those most informed of law and policy can misstep—but taking steps now to keep employers and employees informed is one big first step in preventing such a debacle inside your own organization.

COMMENT ON DOG TRAINING IN THE COMMUNITY

LETTER OF THE YEAR I’m just sick and tired of the elitist attitude of those on the west side, including the Source.

“Not on the west side anyways” is a stereotypical remark assuming that those of us who choose to live on the Eastside are less sensitive, less educated and less open-minded than you are. Wrong! How about a little respect?

REDMOND AIRPORT EXPANDING FLIGHTS I am 100% opposed to the Redmond airport expanding in any way, shape, or form unless and until a real TSA-Precheck lane is opened. I have flown in and out of Redmond six times in the last two years (I’m a partial

year resident of Bend) and every time the security line has been a joke. I will not soon forget my October 2018 trip when numerous people were in tears in the boarding area because they missed their flight due to the pathetic security screening process.

5 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 02 / JANUARY 10, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I just wanted to speak out about a popular form of dog training in Bend known as “shock collars.” This is a form of training that I have seen frequently while visiting the many dog parks in town. While I understand that sometimes these devices may be called for in rare circumstances, the amount of people casually using them is actually disturbing. I have witnessed some people shocking their dogs for almost no apparent reason and unfortunately even seen some shock their dogs simply for playing with another dog. This is pretty outrageous because people take their dogs to these parks to socialize them and it is baffling to me that so many do not seem to understand the concept of dogs playing. Most dogs can play very rough and aggressively and that is just in their nature.

There is an obvious difference between a dogfight and dogs playing but I have seen so many people punish and apprehend their dogs simply for playing.

How can someone treat their best friend like this and think it is truly okay? I think it is time that we start understanding that these creatures are living beings that deserve respect and are not here on this planet to simply be ordered around like slaves. If you yourself, cherish your own freedom, then please consider toning down any sort of over-controlling behavior towards your dog.

They are so extremely helpful to humanity and deserve just as much love as they put out.

—Andrew Roe

STORM SEWER CHARGES If anyone knows the legal justification for the City of Bend’s storm sewer utility charges to residents of neighborhoods without storm sewers, would you please explain it in a letter to this Editor? I have lived in many different places and this is the first place I have received utility billings for non-existent utilities. Since this is a utility charge and not a tax, I don’t understand its legitimacy. Wouldn’t it be more logical and fair if the determining factor for storm sewer utility billing be the physical existence of neighborhood storm sewers rather than the location of the boundary line of the city?

Since private companies cannot charge for services or products not provided, why is it permissible for the City of Bend to do this?

This billing policy has been in effect for many years and I am curious as to how it became established. Did citizens or the city council vote for it? Was it an arbitrary decision by a past city manager or utility department manager? I have repeatedly requested this information from any city representative but have received no response other than more storm sewer bills with more added late fees.

If this city-wide billing policy has never been truly legitimized by popular vote, it should have been. If it is legitimate, will someone please enlighten me with an explanation? I will end my payment protest once I am convinced that this seemingly unfair and illogical billing policy is truly legitimate.

Thank you.

NATIONAL WOMEN’S MARCH Race issues in women’s movements is nothing new. Ida B Wells—educator, investigative journalist, editor, author, abolitionist and feminist spent four months in Great Britain advocating for the anti-lynching movement and the rights of Afro-Americans in 1893. How did she start? By calling out

Mornings to get lost in with @ksperceptions. Tag @sourceweekly to be featured here in Lightmeter.

Frances E. Willard, national president of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, who “unhesitatingly slandered the entire Negro race in order to gain favor with those who are hanging, shooting and burning Negroes alive.” The Suffragette movement in America was tainted by racism and Wells knew that in order to create equality ‘she needed to expose the truth: that too many white liberals were doing nothing to oppose crimes against black Southerners.’

Today the Women’s March organizers have the same conflict: the unwillingness of white activist to acknowledge the role they play in a white dominant culture that maintains racial inequities. When Tamika Mallory, a black gun control activist, and Carmen Perez, a Latina criminal justice reform activist, told Vanessa Wruble to confront her own role in racism, their feedback didn’t come from antisemitism as the spin media will have us all believing but from the overly and self-evident truth; if you are a white Jewish, Christian or non-religious woman, you may have difficulties, but having the barriers of imbedded racism within the culture won’t be one of them!

If you stand for social, racial and economic justice I urge you to keep having bold conversations to unearth racism’s roots and thank you for being an ally!

—Joanne Mina

LETTER OF THE WEEK:

Joanne—Thanks for your comments, and for the reminder that the next Women’s March is coming up on Jan. 19 nationwide. Come on in for your gift card to Palate!

Readers: Check out womensmarch. com for info—and mark your calendars for Sat., Jan. 19 at 12pm in Drake Park for the local march. Here’s hoping for an expanded view of what allyship is during this year’s march.

St. Charles Nurses May Picket

Oregon Nurses Association

NEWS

7

By Chris Miller

Local nurses call on St. Charles executives to reach a fair contract agreement that improves patient care and ensures safe staffing standards throughout the hospital during a rally in Sept. 2018.

N

early all the nurses at St. Charles Health System— Central Oregon’s largest health care provider— voted to endorse an informational picket if they can’t agree with their employer on a tentative work agreement before Jan. 21.

According to Lydia Hallay, an organizer for the Oregon Nurses Association—representing nurses throughout Oregon—there are currently only two more scheduled days of mediation between St. Charles and the ONA left to reach an agreement. If they don’t make an agreement, Hallay said the informational picket will take place on the sidewalk outside the hospital on Neff Road on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Monday, Jan. 21.

Kevin Mealy, communications director for ONA, said during an informational picket, nurses continue to work their regular shifts and only participate during their personal time.

“An informational picket is different from a strike or work stoppage,” Mealy said in an email. “It’s a peaceful public rally that gives nurses the opportunity to share some of the issues going on inside the hospital and talk with community members about how negotiations affect local health care.”

Mealy said the picket comes after months of failed negotiations between St. Charles and ONA. ONA representatives said they’re fighting for safe and appropriate staffing, a unit practice committee,

fair wages and affordable health insurance, and said that St. Charles is proposing language in the Managements Rights article in the contract that’s under dispute. The language, according to the ONA, would limit the nurses’ ability to advocate for the profession and patient care, and to protect themselves from their employer.

“Our patients deserve safe health care every time. We can’t keep waiting for St. Charles corporate executives to fix the problems they’ve caused. Our community deserves better.”

—ANGIE STREETER According to a bargaining unit newsletter from the ONA, shared with the Source, St. Charles is proposing rate hikes for insurance for its employees. For a Health Savings Account, St. Charles employees currently pay $104.05 for a family every two weeks. Under the proposal, the cost will rise to $151.81. For a Preferred Provider Organization, the current cost is $187.74 for a family every two weeks. That cost will go up to $246.81 under St. Charles’ proposal.

St. Charles said in a press release Jan. 8 that both sides have been negotiating a three-year contract since early June. The bargaining teams have met 24

times since then, and according to St. Charles, nearly all contract language related to nurse staffing has been agreed upon. The outstanding issues include wages, benefits, the grievance process and unit practice committees.

“We respect our nurses and their right to hold this informational picket,” St. Charles Bend President Aaron Adams said in the release. “While we have made much progress on the contract over the past six months, we have not yet reached a final agreement. We look forward to meeting again at the bargaining table later this week.”

“Nurses are standing up to protect our patients’ safety and make sure our community has a say in what happens inside their local hospital,” Angie Streeter, a nurse at St. Charles Bend and ONA leader said in a press release. “Our patients deserve safe health care every time. We can’t keep waiting for St. Charles corporate executives to fix the problems they’ve caused.

Our community deserves better.”

According to Glassdoor, a job-finding site, the average wage for a registered nurse in Bend is $70,482 per year. In Portland, the average wage is $94,440. Bend’s cost of living index is 134 and Portland’s is 147.8, according to information from Bestplaces.com. The index is based on an average of 100, where scores above mean a higher-than-average cost of living. Housing costs are the biggest factor in both cities.

DIY Weddings

8 WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 10, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

they Brides and helpers share how th got creative, but realistic, wi as ide ng budget-friendly weddi

BY KEELY DAMARA

T

here’s no shortage of wedding blogs catering to the budget-conscious couple, but planning a wedding within any modest budget is a daunting task.

A bride-to-be can pin as many listicles as she wants to her Pinterest, citing tips and tricks for planning a wedding under $5,000 — but the reality isn’t quite as neat and tidy.

A survey of nearly 13,000 couples who married in 2017, conducted by the popular wedding planning site, The Knot, found the average cost of a wedding was $33,391 — excluding the honeymoon. So unless you’re prepared to elope with your sweetheart or plan a modest backyard wedding, you may need to look beyond the pipedream DIY budget.

That being said, I can say from experience helping plan my sister’s wedding last year that there are ways to save, if you’re willing to put a little elbow grease in and cut a few corners. My sister’s wedding cost about $11,500, which my parents split with the groom’s parents. The guest list was small, with only 30 friends and family members in attendance.

Victoria Nabours / White Desert Photography

Here’s the breakdown: Wedding Cake & Flowers: The boutique wedding cakes populating Instagram may leave you with blinders on to any box store bakeries, but don’t count the latter out. My sister’s 30-piece cake cost $240 and was probably the best red velvet cake I’ve ever had — and we purchased it at Safeway. My mother also purchased the flower bouquets for the bride, three bridesmaids and table centerpieces for $58. My parents handcrafted all the flower garlands and a rustic arch made of tree branches, which cost about $800 when all was said and done.

Venue: Originally, my sister had planned to hold her wedding at a scenic picnic area in Sedona, Ariz., campground. The views were gorgeous when she checked out the site in the fall, but in the weeks leading up to her August wedding, the greenery had burned up in the Arizona sun and the heat was becoming unbearable. It

the restaurant before it changed owners six months prior, and the new owners honored our verbal contract with the original owners. For the full evening, the restaurant charged us $500 for use of a giant private room and their garden patio —gorgeous and air conditioned.

Moral of the story: get your agreements in writing and, if you aren’t a fan of surprises, pay for a proper venue instead of going the public lands route.

The handmade arch my parents made for my sister’s wedding.

also turned out that although she had reserved the site months in advance, the park employee who made the reservation had fed her incorrect information about what was allowed on site. It turned out the ceremony had to be brief with no allowed chairs for guests.

So two weeks before the wedding, the reception venue also became the venue for the ceremony. We were insanely lucky, as the venue owners were extremely flexible with our change of plans. We’d made the reservation with

r e t bs o L r e n n i D

Odds ‘n’ Ends: My sister’s dress cost $1,200 from David’s Bridal (including sash, veil, alternations and post-wedding cleaning). My mom hired her hair stylist's cousin to do makeup and hair for an extremely reasonable price. A photojournalism friend who I attended school with shot the wedding (she was reasonably priced and much more talented than the “seasoned professional” photographers in the area, in my opinion — browse portfolios!). The twonight stay at the hotel cost just under $100 a night per room.

Gilliam and Wheeler Counties have given out zero same sex marriage licenses since it became legal in Oregon. Harney County has given out two and Sherman County gave out one in 2016.

According to Purple Unions, a LGBT wedding directory, Tetherow Resort identifies as a gay-friendly venue, as does Five Pine Lodge & Conference Center in Sisters.

The Knot, an online wedding resource, said there are 24 same-sex officiants near Central Oregon or are willing to travel to the area.

Last week, two Austrian women became the first same-sex couple to marry in their country, after years of legal challenges that barred marriage between people of the same gender.

Austria follows a host of countries that have relaxed or altered laws around same-sex marriage in recent years.

Oregon saw a change in 2014, when a federal judge struck down a state constitution provision that had banned same-sex marriage. Then in 2015, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling banned states from creating laws banning same-sex marriage—effectively allowing marriage equality nationwide.

While it’s a relatively recent change in the U.S. that some now take for granted, some feared that the recent retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy—who wrote many of the opinions in favor of same-sex marriage and transgender rights—could result in a more conservative court that could roll back some of those protections. According to a July 2018 article in The New York Times, “activists worry that a case from the 2018 session, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, could be a sign of trouble ahead.” In that case, the Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado bakeshop owner had the right to refuse service to a gay couple who ordered a cake for their wedding.

As it stands now, thousands of Oregonians have married as a result of the movement toward marriage equality.

Garcia Peoples Head West

New Jersey rockers get the ball rolling with a solid debut

By Isaac Biehl Mariano Frisoli de Oliveira

13 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 02 / JANUARY 10, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

There’s a cliché about life and open doors, and in a sense, it’s kind of true. At least that’s something Tom Machad, guitar player in the alternative rock band, Garcia Peoples, is becoming more aware of following the release of their debut album, “Cosmic Cash.” We sat down with Machad to talk about the album, and other stuff.

the actual deep influence thing is just setting in now.

SW: What are some of the band’s other big influences?

TM: Definitely early Fleetwood Mac stuff. Like Peter Green era and Danny Kirwan era. The Fairport Convention has always been huge for us and anything Richard Thompson does, you know? We just were at a Riley Walker concert in New York and man, like, he tore the house down man. It was really good. He’s definitely on the forefront.

Garcia Peoples’ debut album, “Cosmic Cash,” is out now.

“We’ve been doing this thing for a while and to now be on a label, and to have people actively listen to our music and getting opportunities like this to talk to people about it, it’s like pretty surreal.”

Source Weekly: How did Garcia Peoples come to be?

Tom Machad: Well, we all, the original lineup, I guess, all came from the same town in Rutherford, New Jersey.

We just started playing in various bands with each other and then me and Danny, the other guitar player, started writing some songs together and we’ve been doing that for – a good amount of time now. I’m not 100 percent sure the exact chronology but it’s been more than five years.

SW: “Cosmic Cash,” you guys’ debut album, came out SW: Were all of you always into music? technically last year now. How’s it feel to have that out for TM: Yeah, yeah. My dad’s a musician, so I’ve lived my a little while? whole life listening to cool music. I’m lucky in that regard.

TM: It’s definitely cool! We’ve been doing this thing for Danny (Arakaki, guitar), and Caesar (Arakaki, drums) and a while and to now be on a label, and to have people activeDerek (Spaldo, bass) have always been music guys as far ly listen to our music and getting opportunities like this to as I know. talk to people about it, it’s like pretty surreal.

SW: Where did the name Garcia Peoples come from?

SW: Have you guys been out to Bend, or Oregon before?

TM: It came from being into the Grateful Dead, and Jerry.

TM: No! I can’t say the same for the other guys, but It’s interesting. We were always into the Grateful Dead but this will be my first time on the West Coast. The furthest it’s really been in this past year or so that we, like, got really west I’ve been was Chicago. It’s amazing the fact we get into them, going out to see to go out with Howlin’ Grateful Dead cover bands Rain, too. Those guys are Howlin’ Rain with Garcia Peoples like High Time and Grateful amazing! I’m really stoked Sun., Jan. 13. 8pm Shred, who we’re going on for it. I’m so excited that Volcanic Theatre Pub tour with which should be the town is called Bend.

70 SW Century Dr. ,Bend $12 bendticket.com really fun. While the name Because, like, guitar bends has been there for a while, and stuff!

What’s

Balloons are a great way to add a custom statement piece to your wedding or event. They wow your guests without breaking the bank, and as the trend grows into 2019, we’ll see even more balloon decor, including chic colors and inventive designs.

Balloons can be used for almost anything, from entryway and ceiling decor to photo booth backdrops and accent pieces.

Really, you can put a balloon installation anywhere you’d like to add a little extra glamour and whimsy.

At The Indigo Bride, we carefully design and create your balloon display to ensure it reflects your style and theme.

Every installation we curate is truly unique, and with a balloon creation, your wedding will be too!

Central Oregon has an abundance of nature and outdoor venues to offer for wedding season. But sometimes we want the best of both worlds — how can we combine the beauty of the outdoors with that cozy indoor feel that people love? There are actually a variety of ways to make your ceremony and reception as cozy as you want while still having it outside. In a way, you can bring the inside, out!

For a ceremony site, instead of going with the traditional full tent coverage, you can create more of an indoor feel by only using the frame of the tent, accompanied with several pieces of flowy romantic fabrics draped throughout. To make more of an eclectic look, you can throw in several indoor seating pieces such as small sofas, love seats, padded or barn wood chairs, benches, blankets and a variety of big colorful pillows!

When creating your outdoor reception space, instead of using standard round tables, think about bringing in long rustic barn wood tables. You can create a family-style vibe by running the tables lengthwise and together. Then you can create “cozy corners” with sofas, comfy chairs, more pillows and a good end table or coffee table. Add some of your favorite photos, a lovely floral display and you’ve brought your favorite indoor space out!

These 2019 trends are perfect for Central Oregon weddings and match up with all of the lifestyles throughout our great region. Sometimes you really can have it all!

Bringing the Inside Out

Grazing Tables

Grazing tables are great! And with 2019 getting underway, they’re definitely going to become more and more of a trend this year. The people of Bleu Bite Catering love the way grazing tables encourage sociable dining and the fact that they make for a very visually appealing dining scene! For the food, they usually include a spread that not only appeases the palate, but one that is also very visually appealing as well.

A typical grazing table includes imported and domestic cheeses, assorted meats, antipasto, fresh and dried fruits, nuts, dips like hummus, Tzatziki and roasted red pepper dip, crostinis, crackers and locally sourced baguettes.

The trend is definitely rolling, as Bleu Bite is catering a Game of Thrones Themed wedding this year with a very grazing table appropriate menu. It includes many of the items mentioned above, plus herb grilled vegetables, rosemary steak kabobs, grilled baby back ribs, grilled corn husk handles and grilled garlic herb shrimp. These grazing tables will definitely offer quite the spread!

Beer

location has their own list of in-house brews to choose from, like at The Old St. Francis School in Bend. This provides weddings with drinks that can match a variety of tastes, leaving no one thirsty back at the table.

The same can be said for another local spot, Worthy Brewing. At Worthy you can find in house beers accompanied with their own observatory.

This allows guests to observe the venue behind the scenes and learn a little more about the brewing process! You’re offered inside and outside areas to enjoy during the celebration, giving everyone an opportunity to take in the beauty of Bend with some mountain views. It’s the perfect balance of entertainment and relaxation.

Beer isn’t just meant to liven up the night, but it also offers an adventure of its own. With Central Oregon weddings, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to find the right beers and breweries to help tell your story while making it a fun and memorable night!

CASCADES WEDDING GUIDE 2019

Beer is big part of weddings anywhere you go.

For us in Central Oregon, it’s especially important!

Our craft brewing industry is thriving and filled with many tasty options to choose from. However, many of the breweries around here are offering much more than just something to sip on.

This is in part due to the lifestyles of those in Central Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. We’re adventure seeking, day seizing, fun people. The same goes for couples due to wed! They’re looking for their wedding day to offer a memorable experience for not only them, but the guests as well. And the beer you serve is an extension of that!

Take for instance McMenamins, a company who has had beer culture flowing through them for years. Couples love to offer their guests beer options that stand out and deliver a good time, which is something McMenamins works to provide. All of the beer at McMenamins is brewed in house, and along with their flagship ales each

Elopement

If you’re looking to steer further away from a traditional wedding day, there’s always that little urge scratching at the back of every couple’s minds saying, “Why don’t we just elope?”

Now, originally eloping was aligned with going to Las Vegas and taking a gamble at many of their various chapels. But in 2019, elopement offers a much deeper connection that makes your wedding just as special. Today’s couples are expanding their elopement options, adventuring out to places tropical, mountain filled and all over the globe. Elopement offers you the opportunity to take advantage of the beauty Earth has to offer.

While in the past elopement was a pretty spur-of-the-moment deal, today’s elopements are becoming a little more planned out. This allows couples to still gather their guest list, photographer, officiant and other people or amenities they may need on their wedding day. Other than location, the biggest rewards that modern elopements offer are the cost, quickness and efficiency of having a wedding.

Choosing to elope will greatly reduce the stress you might have planning a more tradi-

Dual Incomes May Bring Your Dream Home Within Reach

tional wedding. Elopement also creates a smaller environment, which helps get rid of the task of inviting family and friends who might not get along, or even those you don’t know very well.

The smaller the wedding, the smaller the chance people will be upset they weren’t there. Making a guest list shouldn’t have to feel like walking on egg shells. You can find that perfect balance of who to invite and who to not. Instead of having hundreds of people at your wedding, you can cut that number down to 20. Or 30. Or however many you want!

Ultimately choosing to elope will save you a lot of money! You won’t need to spend extra on all the little frills other weddings might have and it also give you more control of how the day should go. Often times the more people there are involved in a wedding, the more people try to chime in with ideas or opinions. With a wedding this style you can still include the people closest to you, but it gives a clear indication there’s not really any room for change.

If you’re looking for a more quiet and intimate setting to tie the knot, then elopement might be the trend for you in 2019.

IAN SMYTHE PHOTOGRAPHY Born and raised in Hawaii, Ian Smythe found Bend in in 1998, which he has called home since. Getting behind the camera first began as a form of creative expression for Smythe. With all the different subjects he’s shot over the years, wedding photography has now become his greatest passion. All the people Smythe has met through photogra-

phy have ultimately helped mold his creative style.

All the moments Smythe captures are filled with, as he greatly puts it, “love and aloha.”

Wedding photography is about capturing stories, and this particular story is one Smythe is quite fond of. Set on the Metolious River in the heart of the Deschutes National Forest sits Camp Sherman. The bride, Kate, has a deep tie to Camp Sherman as her family was one of the first group of settlers there. Eventually they would lose their wheat farm to the great depression, but that

didn’t keep them away forever. Years later the family bought a cabin and returned to Camp Sherman to raise a new generation. Kate grew up floating along the river, just as generations of her family floated throughout Camp Sherman. Those original ties grew even deeper on her wedding day, as her family would grow with the addition of the groom Kyle and his family.

This is exactly the love and aloha Smythe was talking about.

GRACE PULVER PHOTOGRAPHY

13 CASCADES WEDDING GUIDE 2019

Grace Pulver hasn’t always been a wedding photographer. In her past lives she was a children’s clothing designer and a snake breeder. Yes, you read that right. A snake breeder. Originally from New Zealand, Pulver moved to the U.S. 15 years ago and has been photographing weddings full-time for seven years.

Pulver says “weddings are about marrying your soulmate,” so

her modern and romantic photographic style complements that well. She tries to capture a good balance of candid documentary style shots along with her more romantic styled poses. It’s all about translating each couple’s special moments into art.

While her beginnings weren’t originally pointing to becoming a wedding photographer, Pulver is certainly glad they ended

up this way as it has become her by far favorite among her other eclectic careers. Her works have been published in places like Beauty & Lifestyle Bride, The Knot, Midwest Bride and more.

Pulver is also the proud recipient of a Couples Choice Award from Wedding Wire and a Vision Award from the Shutterfest Image Competition.

Bride-to-Be on the Loose It’s the big pre-wedding question: Where to bachelorette?

During certain times of the year, it can be difficult to walk Bond or Wall Street past sundown without seeing a parade of females dressed to the nines, the leader in a tiara and sash which reads, “Bride to be.”

Bend is a hot spot for more than just Après Ski events, delicately manscaped facial hair and dog owners.

Prolific breweries, great nightlife and unique recreation opportunities are attracting an unexpected breed of outof-towner: the bachelorette partier.

Portlandia911 asked this question via Tripadvisor in 2012 saying, “Bend, this is your warning that a dozen ladies from all around Oregon are coming to YOU mid-April to celebrate our friend’s last days of being single.” In response, Jen F recommended Velvet, Astro Lounge, Seven and Cycle Pub. For those unfamiliar, Cycle Pub combines two big parts of sightseeing—cycling and drinking—allowing patrons to do both on the same vehicle, within a 2-foot radius of friends. In what can only be described as a 20 seat, pedal-powered, slowly moving trolley car, Cycle Pub takes to the streets, stopping occasionally at breweries to refill, blocking traffic in the most fun-loving way.

John Flannery, a partner at Bend Tour Company who operates Cycle Pub, explains: “We do see quite a few bachelorette parties. Many are for Cycle Pub, but others head out on electric bike tours and rentals or take Segway or Electric Cruiser Car tours. Guessing the number of bachelorette parties Bend Tour Company sees is tough, but

I’d say a couple hundred across all of our offerings.”

With all of those parties, funny stories abound.

“The group I thought was the funniest wore “Bride to be” t-shirts

ticeable increase of pre-wedding female celebrations in Bend, Tawna Fenske of Visit Bend noted, “We don’t track bachelorette parties (which is probably good news to the ladies attending them!) but we can say the Bend Ale

“No matter what activity you choose to partake in, after having fun, the best pictures do not have you holding numbers up.”

—John Flannery

and made people guess which one was really the bride-to-be when in reality, they were all getting married that year,” Flannery recalls.

When asked about statistics on a no-

Trail has become a popular attraction for women traveling to Bend for weddings, girls’ weekends and bachelorette parties.”

Bend Ale Trail is essentially a

self-catered Cycle Pub, minus the pedal-powered trolley car. Think of it as a marginally classier, hop-influenced pub crawl.

Still, out-of-towners don’t seem to have issues finding local haunts to visit with their tiara parades. In a 2016 blog post titled “Taryn’s Wreckreation Guide: Babes, Beers, & Bend,” Taryn Daly of KSIW Rock (in Washington) named Brasada Ranch, McMenamins, Deschutes Brewery, Blacksmith, Summit, Capitol and Maverick’s as Bend’s traditional bachelorette favorites.

The un-bachelorette bachelorette Still, some women are definitely the “un-bachelorette” style party girls, who might want a quiet night instead of the big flourish. Party buses, phallic cakes and fruity drinks aren’t for everyone.

One local blog post described a quiet night at a local Airbnb, dinner at a nice restaurant, wine spritzers and star gazing—ideal for those who aren’t the party type.

A night people dream about Though a popular misconception, most believe all females plan their weddings starting in childhood. In truth, the “hens’ night” is the truest main event. What’s not to like? It’s essentially the most amazing birthday, times 1000, and the celebrant and her guests get a pass on most of their typically socially unacceptable behavior. (Oh, and any of these ideas can work for a bachelor party, too.)

Lewd behavior aside, Flannery advises, “no matter what activity you choose to partake in, after having fun, the best pictures do not have you holding numbers up.” In other words, it’s best if the bachelorette (or bachelor) party doesn’t end in an arrest. ♥

‘Grounded’ worth a fresh look Cascades black box hit reprises at 2nd Street

By Elizabeth Warnimont

“You see who you’re killing, and you’re making judgment calls.”

—LILLI ANN FOREMAN, DIRECTOR “It was done with very little technical support,” Foreman says of the show’s first iteration. It was such a hit, though, the director made the rare decision to purchase the play’s minimal set. Almost immediately after the show closed at CTC, Sandy Klein of Stage Right Productions approached her about bringing the show to 2nd Street.

“Usually when I do a show,” says actor Kit Foreman—now reprising the role at 2nd Street— “by closing night, I’m done with a character. I’m ready to let it go. This is the first time that I have ever reached closing night and thought, ‘I’m not done yet.’”

“Grounded” follows a U.S. Air Force

major (“The Pilot”) who flies combat missions over Afghanistan. “It’s not based on one true story,” the director explains, “but it is based on a number of true stories by people who experienced it first-hand.”

After a three-year leave of absence to care for her new baby, the pilot and her husband decide it’s time for her to fly again.

“She just has to go back,” Linford-Foreman explains. “Being a pilot is so much of her.” At the time she re-ups, however, she doesn’t realize she’ll be assigned to something entirely different.

“So she’s grounded from her F-16 duties,” Foreman says. “They don’t send her back to Afghanistan. They send her to Nevada. To fly drones from an air-conditioned trailer.

“She doesn’t know that’s going to happen when she signs up,” the director adds. “This is at the beginning of the drone program. Before I think the military really knew how much stress, how much potential for PTSD the pilots were going to be experiencing.” The director wasn’t able to reveal much more without spoiling it, but she did say the pilot’s personal, moral conflict becomes central to the plot.

“She has a three-year-old daughter at home, and a husband. So the play centers around that conflict, of adjusting to life away from the action but still being ‘down range’—that’s what being deployed is called. To being a first-time mom while trying to balance working

12-hour shifts, seven days a week,” Foreman says.

“You see it all by video,” Linford-Foreman says of the moral aspect.

“So you see who you’re killing. You also see how good – and how not good – the video surveillance is, and you’re making judgment calls. It becomes increasingly clear that morally, there’s something amiss. And she just can’t reconcile it.”

Winter X Winter: Collaborative Exhibition at Bend Art Center n display in January at the Bend Art Center is a collaborative, site-specific exhibit, guest curated by Bend artist Julie Winter. Entitled “Winter X Winter,” the exhibit is inspired by people’s connections to place. Winters invited 30 artists to respond to the theme of “home” on a common canvas of 30-inch-by-84-inch natural fiber handmade Asian paper—the result of a journey of meditation and insight into the idea of place and our relationship to it.

in open verse, which presents a tremendous challenge for an actor.

“It’s a challenge to take it apart and find the sentences, find the phrases,” the director says.

“It’s spoken exactly as written – there is no punctuation,” Foreman says. “You have to find the punctuation, you have to find the beats. It’s written almost like ‘The Odyssey.’ I think that was one of the bigger challenges of this, finding the beats, where they rest comfortably, and where they rest naturally.”

“And having it sound like a person telling her story,” the director adds. “It doesn’t sound like recited poetry.”

An audience talk-back will take place after the second Sunday matinee, Jan. 20. Veteran’s Mental Health Counselor Kristin Gyford will facilitate the session along with the actor and director. “This is a difficult play,” Foreman says. “It’s difficult subject material.

Our experience at CTC was that people were spending a lot of time after the play talking about it. People had a lot to say.”

A portion of ticket sales will be donated to Central Oregon Veterans Ranch.

Julie Winter asked local artists to contemplate the theme of “home” for the exhibition now up at Bend Art Center.

horizon line connects them, as Winters asked each artist to split their canvas into two and examine the impact of darkness and light within their piece.

“My hope was that the physical structure of the paper provided to the artists and the visual parameters of light colors on top and dark colors on bottom, with a center meeting line— would read as a

larger shared horizon line once installed together,” shares Winter.

The effect works. As you walk through the space, you get the sense of a horizon guiding you. And because Winter asked the artists to limit their palette to less than 5 percent color, the exhibit feels cohesive, yet you can see a variety of viewpoints, experiences, outlooks and stories.

This type of collaborative experience was new to Winter, but one she was inspired to pursue as a result of her work receiving her Master of Fine Arts from Portland’s Pacific Northwest College of Art last summer. While studying at PNCA, Winter became inspired by her own experimentation and was curious to see how other artists would respond when given the same parameters and theme. This collaboration was especially interesting because artists worked in isolation—yet created pieces that feel connected and create a much larger final piece when combined.

Ultimately, for Winter, being able to piece together these various voices served as a great reminder that “we all fit in wherever we’re at.”

eorge Brant’s thought-provoking play, “Grounded,” is back for a second and more complete performance at 2nd Street Theater this weekend, after enjoying a popular run as a black-box production by the Cascades Theatrical Company last season.

When Director Lilli Ann Linford-Foreman brought the one-woman show to life at CTC last year, she says it was so well received and well attended— especially for a black box production— that she couldn’t wait to bring it back.

S

o, you’ve decided to tie the knot and need to figure out how you’re going to wet your guests’ whistles during the reception?

Depending on your venue, there are options.

Those who have an unlimited budget may choose to use an open bar—basically a free-for-all for guests, and maybe a way to have the reception turn into something movies are made from. Guests can order whatever they’d like from the bar, leaving the bride and groom—or whoever is funding the soiree—on the hook for the tab plus gratuity. An open bar averages about $2,800, according to the Bridal Association of America.

Another option is the limited bar, or a selection of drinks chosen by the reception’s hosts. Most couples put a cap on the amount of money they’re willing to spend. The average is between $2,000 to $3,000, according to Robert Cammelletti, a long time food and beverage manager in Bend (disclosure: he also works here). This is a pretty common option where the guests often get a few choices of beer or wine, but if you want to hit the hard stuff, be prepared to hand over your credit card or bring cash. Places like McMenamins offer this version of getting your drink on.

There’s also the cash bar—inviting people to share in the wedded bliss, but making them foot the bill for their libations. In this version, guests are responsible for paying for all of their drinks—often including sodas or bottled water.

“I strongly discourage clients from considering a cash bar. It creates an awkward experience for all involved: the host is perceived as being cheap (whether that’s true or not is irrelevant), guests may not have cash on hand, and it slows down the flow of service at the bar,” Chancy Charm wrote on its blog. “As an alternative, consider options that make your guests feel spoiled without breaking the bank by either reconsidering your guest count, providing a limited selection or only beer and wine, or closing the bar a little early before the reception ends!”

When renting a public space, check with the Oregon Liquor Commission and either the city or county where you’re getting married about the rules for providing alcohol. According to the City of Bend, glass containers are not allowed in City parks—meaning it’s classy plastic cups for the guests.

For people who want more control, there’s always the option of using a private house or property. Couples can hire their favorite bartender and have their own version of “Cocktail” play out in the backyard watching the Tom Cruise

Some breweries in Central Oregon also host weddings and receptions. In this model, patrons should really like the beer they pour, because that’s what they’re limited to. For the breweries that have full OLCC licenses, guests can order cocktails as well.

According to The Knot, an online wedding planning website, couples planning to stock the bar themselves should first check to see if the venue charges a corkage fee, so they can incorporate that cost into the total alcohol budget. Here’s an idea for a list that would serve 100 guests for approximately four hours, according to The Knot:

Your Shopping List:

Alcohol/Beer/Wine • Beer: 5 to 6 cases • Whiskey: 1 liter • Bourbon: 1 liter • Gin: 2 to 3 liters • Scotch: 2 liters • Rum: 2 liters • Vodka: 6 liters • Tequila: 1 liter • Champagne: 1 to 1 1/2 cases (include an additional 18 bottles for a champagne toast) • Red wine: 2 cases • White wine: 3 1/2 cases • Dry vermouth: 1 liter • Sweet vermouth: 1 liter Mixers • Tonic: 1 case • Club soda: 1 case • Cranberry juice: 2 gallons • Orange juice: 1 gallon • Grapefruit juice: 1 gallon • Ginger ale: 1 case • Triple sec: 1 liter • Lime juice: 1 gallon • Sparkling water: 2 cases • Bottled water: 3 cases • Diet coke: 2 cases • Coke: 2 cases

Them Eat Something Besides Cake CHOW Let Some weddings ‘just say no’ to fondant

By Caitlin Richmond Russell Chandler

LITTLE BITES

Pie If you like flaky crust, warm fruit and the perfect vehicle for vanilla ice cream, pie might be a good choice for you. Nancy P’s Cafe and Bakery has 13 different options and takes custom orders, which makes it even simpler. Choose from a variety of fruit pies, custard pies (pumpkin or key lime) or get a nut-filled pie (coconut or pecan). This option gives you lots of options and something that seems normal to cut if you want that classic photo.

(We did cut a half maple, half chocolate bar—but really, doughnuts are meant to inhale, not slice in half.)

Ice cream sundae bar An outdoor summer wedding might make this option a little more challenging, but anything is possible with a freezer handy. Local businesses including Bontà Natural Artisan Gelato or Goody’s Chocolates & Ice Cream mean you can offer some really good ice cream.

If you want to go the DIY route and simply cover it all with whipped cream, sprinkles and maraschino cherries, you can also buy many gallons of vanilla at the grocery store.

Cupcakes Maybe you love cake but prefer it in a more bite-sized option. If this is you, options include Ida’s Cupcake Café, Cake Lady, Foxtail Bakeshop & Kitchen and Dreamin’ Desserts. Many locations allow you to choose between mini cupcakes or a bigger option—or both if you want to go all out. If you’re indecisive, Ida’s, for one, offers 100 different flavors.

Just save a lot of time for the tasting.

Yes, you can even do the classic “cake cutting” when serving donuts at your wedding.

hen my husband and I were planning our wedding, he kept mentioning to people that we might have doughnuts instead of cake.

I thought he was trying to be a little over the top or different (he has a habit of that...) but it turned that he was not joking at all and was extremely stoked about the idea of having hundreds of doughnuts instead of a threetiered cake.

We aren’t the only people who find the idea of a cake covered in waxy fondant unappetizing, but going a non-traditional route doesn’t mean you have to skip the fun of cake tasting!

Ahead of our wedding, we made a list of the doughnut shops in Bend and slowly visited each one, ordering a maple bar and chocolate bar at each place to keep our taste testing consistent. Ultimately, we chose Delish Donuts because I could almost smell the donuts from my car as I drove by. If you go the doughnut route, also consider The Dough Nut, which makes both gluten-free and vegan doughnuts. The vegan options meant that our best man, who has an egg and dairy allergy, got to try the first doughnuts of his life when I ordered the remaining doughnuts for our wedding.

If wedding cake doesn’t appeal to you either, there are other options for sweet treats to serve to your guests.

Married person tip: the business you choose doesn’t have to specialize in wedding-related baking, and sometimes it can be cheaper if they don’t.

menu items will be familiar: sha-momo dumplings available with meat or veggies, shaapta, a Tibetan-style stir fry and masu-baat, a traditional Himalayan chicken curry. Also new for 2019: expanded hours. Plantd is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30am to 9pm.

a Movie SCREEN Almost Escape Room Does the Unforgivable

By Jared Rasic

“Escape Room” is “Hostel,” “Cube” and “The Game” mashed up into a Tofurky patty of clichés and almostrealized ambitions.

“Escape Room” doesn’t quite deserve this fate. It’s definitely a mashup of about four or five other movies, but there’s enough originality to keep the movie moving along at a brisk pace... until the infuriating ending.

The film follows a group of strangers who all receive an invitation to an escape room competition where the winner will go home with $10,000. The

The group found a different path to the Upside-Down.

participants don’t seem to have anything in common at first: There’s a student, a soldier, a stock broker, a truck driver, a drunk and a professional escape room competitor.

The production design of the film is delightful, with each room of the competition being a bizarre and fun bit of strangeness. An upside-down dive bar, a creepy cabin in the woods and a deceptively deadly waiting room are just a few of the puzzles the group faces, and for most of the movie, it’s a surprisingly fun

(though PG-13 and bloodless) little horror flick.

But then the ending happens and, for me at least, all goodwill goes out the window. The whodunit aspect of the move is pretty predictable, but it’s the very ending that really goes off the rails.

No spoilers, but the film doesn’t have an ending. Instead, it just stops like it’s the pilot episode of a TV show, desperate for its audience to tune in next week.

I know studios love money and they love cheaply made horror movies

that can be spun into gold with a dozen sequels, but that first movie in the series needs to tell a complete story.

This isn’t “Lord of the Rings” where we already know that we’re getting one massive story broken into three parts.

This is a 90-minute horror flick that literally looks at its audience in contempt and says, “Oh, you like that? Well, tune in to “Escape Room 2: Even Escapier” to see what happens next.” And you know what really sucks? I want to. I paid for the first two acts of a story and would like to see the third one.

“Escape Room” is “Hostel,” “Cube” and “The Game” mashed up into a Tofurky patty of cliches and almost-realized ambitions. It’s honestly extremely fun and entertaining for almost its entire runtime, until the ending raises its middle finger, not only to its audience, but to the art of storytelling in general.

Dawn Wall is a Delight for Doc Lovers Friday screening is free for BendFilm members

By Teafly Peterson

A

nyone who loves documentary films knows this: the subject doesn’t really matter. The heart of a great documentary transcends its subject, and “The Dawn Wall” is no exception. BendFilm is bringing this film back to The Tower Theatre on Jan. 11, and it’s free for BendFilm members.

“The Dawn Wall” tells the story of Tommy Caldwell and his quest to climb the notoriously difficult part of El Captain in Yosemite National Park, called the Dawn Wall. He’s joined in this massive feat by Kevin Jorgeson, a climber who practices “bouldering” and doesn’t know what larger climbs entail in terms of the gear and rigging. For six years, the two men train and practice along the various wall routes to determine the best path, Caldwell teaching Jorgeson the ins and outs of rock climbing along the way.

The story gives you a thorough, if quick, understanding of Caldwell from his days of growing up, to being a young kid winning international climbing competitions, to turning pro and getting kidnapped while climbing in Kyrgyzstan in 2000 by local rebels. In fact, so many

Tommy Caldwell chalks up his hands on a rock face.

crazy things happen in the first 20 minutes of this film, you begin to wonder just what else could really match up to the drama. And yet that’s exactly what makes this film so great: the examination of why we do the things we do, what drives us and how we deal with failure, transcend pain and continue forward.

“My preconceived limits were totally off base. That we are capable of so much more than we could ever really imagine,” Caldwell says at one point in the movie in reference to being kidnapped.

From that you understand how time and perseverance are tools for this man to continue on with his life, regardless of

what comes at him.

You don’t need to know or understand or even particularly like rock climbing to appreciate this film. The filmmakers do a great job of using an interview with rock climbing legend and writer John Long to help explain and educate viewers. His voice helps you understand just how difficult this is and how crazy it seems to everyone, even those deep in the climbing world.

You also get to see the progression of Jorgeson as a climber, and how the media attention to the climb affected both. You see a whole world through the lens of traversing this difficult terrain.

It’s not just an enormous feat as a climber, but one for a filmmaker, too, to transcend the limits of the story of climbing to tell the story of life itself.

The film opens with a writer from The New York Times asking Caldwell and Jorgeson this question: “What is the point of all this?” It’s the question that drives this movie. It comes again and again from news reporters commenting while they’re on the wall, to Ellen Degeneres who interviews them after the climb is complete. And it seems like an essential question about things that go beyond climbing; it’s the question that comes at you at every corner of life, whether you are on a rock wall or not. And it’s why this film will leave you cheering, the way all great sports films do, regardless if it’s your team doing the winning… or even if you don't particularly like the sport.

Newts Deserve Respect, or Else…

By Jim Anderson

V

ictor Berthelsdorf, who lives over in The Swamp on a farm near McMinnville, recently sent me an email with a photo of a great egret posing with a mouthful of rough-skinned newt.

Berthelsdorf’s note read: “I was wondering what your take might be on this. Taken Dec. 13. Dazed & confused?

Washing it off? Flipping the proverbial coin?”

I wondered, too. Some amphibians can release powerful toxins to protect themselves from harm. That’s the meaning behind the newt’s scientific name.

“Taricha” is the name some people give the toxic substance in the newt’s system, and “granulosa” is the description of its skin.

I needed to know more about the impact of the toxin on birds, and sent an email off to my herpetologist pal, Al St. John in Bend, who put me in touch with herpetologist Chris Rambo, who steered me into AmphibiaWeb, where I found information that makes the mystery of the egret and the newt even more mysterious.

The site left me with a lot of “what if’s,” such as: What if a bird as big as an egret eats a newt — will it die? Do all newts have the same amount of toxin?

According to AmphibiaWeb, “When threatened by a predator, adult newts display a characteristic body posture called the unken reflex, a rigid U-shaped posture that reveals the bright orange ventral coloration.

“During the unken reflex, eyes are closed, limbs extend laterally, the head is raised vertically, the back is depressed, and the tail is raised forward over the body. A release of toxic skin secretions accompanies the defensive posture.”

Take a look at the posture of the newt in Victor’s photo — you can actually see the toxin oozing from the newt’s skin.

And the experts have this to say about the toxins:

The final word: handle rough-skinned newts very carefully.

“If the predator is not deterred by the unken reflex, the newt must rely on chemical defense. Adults possess tetrodotoxin (sometimes referred to as tarichatoxin), a potent neurotoxin that is concentrated in the skin, ovaries, muscles, and blood of adults.

“It is one of the most toxic non-protein substances known, and it also occurs in pufferfishes and relatives. The skin from adult rough-skinned newts is several times more toxic than skin from other species of Taricha.”

Some creatures seem immune to the newt’s toxin— but humans aren’t one of them.

There is considerable variation in the degree of toxicity of rough-skinned newts in different parts of their range.

Skin extracts from Vancouver Island newts were at least 1,000 times less toxic than those of newts from the Willamette Valley.

The rough-skinned newt is one of the most toxic animals known to science. There’s a story about a 29-year-old guy in Coos Bay who had been drinking heavily and swallowed a newt on a dare.

Within 10 minutes, he complained of tingling in the lips. During the next two hours he was suffering with numbness and weakness and then experienced cardiopulmonary arrest.

He died later, despite hospital treatment. In another case, toxin from a Taricha entered a puncture wound on a scientist›s index finger, and he suffered 30 minutes of numbness up the arm into the shoulder, along with nausea and light-headedness.

The final word: handle Roughskinned newts very carefully and wear plastic, throw-away gloves. Make sure your children leave them alone! And after you’ve finished handling any newt or salamander — or toad for good luck — WASH YOUR HANDS at least twice.

So, what happened to Victor’s Great Egret? We don’t know, but I do know what will happen to you if you allow a newt’s toxin to invade your body.

ccording to December 2018 Central Oregon MLS statistics for Bend single family residences (excluding condos and manufactured homes) on 1 acre or less, the market cooled down again, with sales volume decreasing by about 16 percent from December 2017. The median sold price increased slightly from $433,143 in November 2018 to $438,632 for December 2018. The year-to-year median sales price gain from $395,000 in December 2017 represented a gain of 11 percent. Median price per square foot increased from $216 in December 2017 to $252 for December 2018, representing

about a 17 percent gain. This is likely reflective of the higher price level of December 2018 sales.

Sales of homes under $500,000 for December 2018 represented 67 percent of total sales as compared to 75 percent for December 2018—probably reflecting the rise in prices and inventory levels.

The decline in inventory and rise in prices are not a good sign for buyers, with home price growth continuing to exceed wage growth. The relative stability of mortgage rates has been helpful, and hopefully things will improve as more inventory hits the market.

Gramping Her Style

My friend just joined a dating site for elite creative professionals. Unfortunately, it grabs your age from Facebook, so you can’t shave off years. At 50, she’s outside of most men’s search parameters—even older men’s. What gives? —Concerned Aging is especially unkind to straight women on dating sites. At a certain point (usually age 46 on), women find their options narrowed to men who wear jewelry—the kind that sends the message, “I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!”

A study by psychologist Jan Antfolk and his colleagues looked at sex differences in the preferred age of romantic partners.

They found—as have other researchers— that “women are interested in same-aged to somewhat older men” throughout their lives.

Men, on the other hand, “show a tendency to be sexually interested in women in their mid-twenties,” a preference that emerges in their teen years and (sorry, ladies!) remains consistent as men age. And age. And age.

Men’s continuing attraction to 20-something women makes evolutionary sense, as, the researchers note, “the highest fertility” in women “has been estimated to occur in the mid-twenties.” However, when older men are asked to think practically—when asked not which women are running naked through their mind at the checkout stand but whom they’d have a relationship with—women more similar in age have a shot. For example, research led by evolutionary social psychologist

Abraham Buunk found that “men of 60 years old would marry a woman of 55.”

Unfortunately, the online dating world— with the seemingly endless stream of hot 20-something women—is not exactly fertile ground for practicality and realism. It isn’t that men on dating sites who are aging into the grandpa zone could necessarily get the 20-something chickies. But I suspect that these women’s mere presence—hordes and hordes of them—has what’s called an “anchoring effect.”

This is a term from research on decision-making by psychologists Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. They found that a person’s “initial exposure” (to a particular price, for example) “serves as a reference point and influences subsequent judgments about value.” Accordingly, in online dating, I suspect there’s a reference point that gets set—and it is 22 and bombshellicious and has yet to have a whole lot of meaningful contact with gravity.

Putting this in a less depressing way, in seeking male partners, context matters. Your friend will have more interest from men when she’s in a room—in real life—where the female competition is limited in number and is around her age. She might have better luck in online dating at a site specifically for older people. Sites that aren’t for the over50 crowd only are likely to be a continuing disappointment—along the lines of “Hmm... could it be that I accidentally set my preferences to ‘wants to die alone in an avalanche of her own cats’?!”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1984, singer-songwriter John Fogerty released a new album whose lead single was “The Old Man Down the Road.” It sold well. But trouble arose soon afterward when Fogerty’s former record company sued him in court, claiming he stole the idea for “The Old Man Down the Road” from “Run Through the Jungle.” That was a tune Fogerty himself had written and recorded in 1970 while playing with the band Creedence Clearwater Revival. The legal process took a while, but he was ultimately vindicated. No, the courts declared, he didn’t plagiarize himself, even though there were some similarities between the two songs. In this spirit, I authorize you to borrow from a good thing you did in the past as you create a new good thing in the future. There’ll be no hell to pay if you engage in a bit of self-plagiarism.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is a collection of fables that take place in India. Three movies have been made based on it.

All of them portray the giant talking snake named Kaa as an adversary to the hero Mowgli. But in Kipling’s original stories, Kaa is a benevolent ally and teacher. I bring this to your attention to provide context for a certain situation in your life. Is there an influence with a metaphorical resemblance to Kaa: misinterpreted by some people, but actually quite supportive and nourishing to you? If so, I suggest you intensify your appreciation for it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Virginia Woolf thought that her Piscean lover Vita Sackville-West was a decent writer, but a bit too fluid and effortless. Self-expression was so natural to Sackville-West that she didn’t work hard enough to hone her craft and discipline her flow. In a letter, Woolf wrote, “I think there are odder, deeper, more angular thoughts in your mind than you have yet let come out.” I invite you to meditate on the possibility that Woolf’s advice might be useful in 2019. Is there anything in your skill set that comes so easily that you haven’t fully ripened it?

If so, develop it with more focused intention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Computer-generated special effects used in the 1993 film Jurassic Park may seem modest to us now. But at the time they were revolutionary. Inspired by the new possibilities revealed, filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas, and Peter Jackson launched new projects they had previously thought to be beyond their ability to create. In 2019, I urge you to go in quest of your personal equivalent of Jurassic Park’s pioneering breakthroughs. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may be able to find help and resources that enable you to get more serious about seemingly unfeasible or impractical dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m a big proponent of authenticity. I almost always advise you to be yourself with bold candor and unapologetic panache.

Speak the truth about your deepest values and clearest perceptions. Be an expert about what really moves you, and devote yourself passionately to your relationships with what really moves you. But there is one exception to this approach. Sometimes it’s wise to employ the “fake it until you make it” strategy: to pretend you are what you want to be with such conviction that you ultimately become what you want to be. I suspect now is one of those times for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The students’ dining hall at Michigan State University serves gobs of mayonnaise. But in late 2016, a problem arose when 1250 gallons of the stuff became rancid. Rather than simply throw it away, the school’s Sustainability Officer came up with a brilliant solution: load it into a machine called an anaerobic digester, which turns biodegradable waste into energy. Problem solved!

The transformed rot provided electricity for parts of the campus. I recommend you regard this story as a

metaphor for your own use. Is there anything in your life that has begun to decay or lose its usefulness? If so, can you convert it into a source of power?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you grow vegetables, fruits, and grains on an acre of land, you can feed twelve people. If you use that acre to raise meat-producing animals, you’ll feed at most four people. But to produce the meat, you’ll need at least four times more water and twenty times more electric power than you would if you grew the plants. I offer this as a useful metaphor for you to consider in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should prioritize efficiency and value.

What will provide you with the most bang for your bucks? What’s the wisest use of your resources?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Modern kids don’t spend much time playing outside. They have fun in natural environments only half as often as their parents did while growing up. In fact, the average child spends less time in the open air than prison inmates. And today’s unjailed adults get even less exposure to the elements.

But I hope you will avoid that fate in 2019. According to my astrological estimates, you need to allocate more than the usual amount of time to feeling the sun and wind and sky. Not just because it’s key to your physical health, but also because many of your best ideas and decisions are likely to emerge while you’re outdoors.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): NASA landed its robotic explorer Opportunity on Mars in January of 2004.

The craft’s mission, which was supposed to last for 92 days, began by taking photos and collecting soil samples. More than 14 years later, the hardy machine was still in operation, continuing to send data back to Earth. It far outlived its designed lifespan.

I foresee you being able to generate a comparable marvel in 2019, Virgo: a stalwart resource or influence or situation that will have more staying power than you could imagine. What could it be?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1557, Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde invented the equals sign: =.

Historical records don’t tell us when he was born, so we don’t know his astrological sign. But I’m guessing he was a Libra. Is there any tribe more skillful at finding correlations, establishing equivalencies, and creating reciprocity? In all the zodiac, who is best at crafting righteous proportions and uniting apparent opposites? Who is the genius of balance? In the coming months, my friend, I suspect you will be even more adept at these fine arts than you usually are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a modest, one-story office building at 1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington, Delaware. More than 285,000 businesses from all over the U.S. claim it as their address. Why? Because the state of Delaware has advantageous tax laws that enable those businesses to save massive amounts of money. Other buildings in Delaware house thousands of additional corporations. It’s all legal. No one gets in trouble for it.

I bring this to your attention in the hope of inspiring you to hunt for comparable situations: ethical loopholes and workarounds that will provide you with extra benefits and advantages.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People in the Solomon Islands buy many goods and services with regular currency, but also use other symbols of worth to pay for important cultural events like staging weddings and settling disputes and expressing apologies. These alternate forms of currency include the teeth of flying foxes, which are the local species of bat. In that spirit, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I’d love to see you expand your sense of what constitutes your wealth. In addition to material possessions and funds in the bank, what else makes you valuable? In what other ways do you measure your potency, your vitality, your merit? It’s a favorable time to take inventory.

Prohibition Arguments Cannalyzed: On Mexico Smuggling

By Josh Jardine

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / JANUARY 10, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

appy 2019, everyone! Let’s kick off the New Year with another installment of our series “Prohibition Arguments, Cannalyzed,” in which we examine arguments used by those who are anti-cannabis. This week, a favorite often cited by those who sport MAGA hats.

Argument: “If you legalize cannabis, it just helps the criminal gangs like MIA smuggle even more cannabis into the country. It’s another reason we need that wall!”

Perhaps you mean the criminal gang MS-13, and not the petite English performer MIA whose biggest crime was flipping off the audience at the Super Bowl in 2012.

“State marijuana legalization starting in 2014 did more to reduce marijuana smuggling than the doubling of Border Patrol agents or the construction of hundreds of miles of border fencing did from 2003 to 2009.”

—DAVID BIER, CATO INSTITUTE But, no, that’s incorrect, and always has been an argument based on faulty logic. Why would someone smuggle in a product, especially one of far lesser quality that has had zero testing of pesticides, molds and purity into a market that now has that same tested product in abundance? Especially since cannabis is an agricultural product that’s better when fresh, and handled with greater care than a smuggled one would ever be?

That’s akin to passing up freshly baked scones from your neighborhood bakery because you have a guy who can get you potentially moldy eight-month-old Little Debbies, flattened between two weighted pallets.

The Cato Institute, a public policy research institute, thought this sounded like a falsehood, because it is, and did some analysis which determined that no, cannabis legalization actually drastically reduces the amount of cannabis being smuggled into the U.S. For context for any youngsters reading, our wonderful neighbors in Mexico were once the main provider of cannabis to the U.S. From a policy analysis by David Bier, published in December by the Cato Institute: “The United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime estimated that drug smugglers imported twothirds of all marijuana consumed in the United States. A 2010 study estimated that Mexican marijuana alone accounted for 40 to 67 percent of all U.S. consumption.” Our cannabis consumption rates are some of the highest in the world. In 2016, nearly 36 million of us partook, and the cannabis market was

valued at just over $56 billion.

Since 2014, when states began implementing recreational cannabis programs, imports have fallen rapidly and in great numbers. How much so? Per the Cato report, “Following the full legalization of marijuana sales in six states beginning with Colorado and Washington in fiscal year (FY) 2014, the rate of seizures (of cannabis) by Border Patrol declined 78 percent, from 114 pounds per agent in FY 2013 to 25 pounds per agent in FY 2018. Total marijuana seizures by all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies declined by nearly 2 million pounds from FY 2013 to FY 2017.”

Greater nationwide access to domestically produced cannabis can be linked to the reduction of imports. Currently, one in six of us live in states with a recreational cannabis program. Soon, Michigan, Massachusetts and Maine will implement their rec programs, bringing that number to nearly one in four.

All of this isn’t helping the bottom line of producers of Mexican cannabis, with prices falling between 50 and 70 percent after U.S. legalization programs began.

Now, about that “great wall” we all so “desperately need,” which is going to further reduce all the cannabis which is no longer being smuggled into the U.S.?

Actually, no. That’s not real. Again, from the Cato report: “Given these trends, a border wall or more Border Patrol agents to stop drugs between ports of entry makes little sense. From FY 2003 to FY 2009, Border Patrol doubled its workforce and constructed hundreds of miles of fences, yet this increased enforcement did not reduce marijuana smuggling. Each agent annually seized virtually the same quantity of marijuana through 2013, indicating roughly the same overall inflow of the illegal substance. State marijuana legalization starting in 2014 did more to reduce marijuana smuggling than the doubling of Border Patrol agents or the construction of hundreds of miles of border fencing did from 2003 to 2009.”

Establishing nationwide legalized recreational cannabis programs would, in theory, eliminate illegal cannabis imports, which would allow the border patrol to focus its efforts on drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin—all drugs that anyone, regardless of political affiliation, can agree are a greater threat to our citizens than cannabis.
