t’s time for the Bend Police Department to bite the bullet and require officers use cameras in their contact with the public. While grainy amateur videos taken by eyewitnesses have surfaced, the December 23 downtown shooting death of 31-year old Michael Tyler Jacques presents a clear need for the use of cameras by Bend cops.

Eyewitnesses have told attorneys representing the Jacques family that he was unarmed, cooperative with police, and shot at point blank range. According to attorney Michelle Burrows, one eyewitness told her Jacques was shot in the back of the head within 15-20 seconds after the driver-side door on his Dodge Caravan was opened by police.

Bend police are not commenting on those allegations while the investigation into the matter is being conducted

by Oregon State Police. And, Police Chief Jim Porter won’t comment because of legal constraints.

Rather than lingering allegations and an investigation that may take months or even years to complete, the public that police protect deserves faster, more complete information.

Police credibility and confidence in public safety are on the line and we deserve better answers—not to mention the cost savings that the public could see from a shorter investigation that saps fewer dollars from already-tight budgets. And, the Jacques family deserves better answers. The two cops involved in the shooting, now on administrative leave, also deserve quicker resolution.

During a videotaped interview, Chief Porter told the Source Weekly that his department is seriously considering the use of cameras and that their deployment is only a matter of time. The cost is a concern and the

department would have to hire two to three full time employees to manage the video program and to comply with state laws governing their use.

Police credibility and confidence in public safety are on the line and we deserve better answers.

Attorney Burrows says cameras should be required by Bend Police and all police departments considering the rising incidents of police-involved shootings nationwide. She argues that, “It should be mandated. It helps them, too. If an officer is accused of doing something they didn’t do, a video will end the discussion. It’s a protective tool for everybody involved.”

There is another reason to institute the use of cameras by police. In Bend, police are responding to 3-5 calls a week involving people in a mental crisis. That’s nearly 1,700 a year – three times the level of only a few years ago. Couple that with criminal activity and that face-to-face confrontations involving police and the public are increasing. As Bend continues its growth, this will only increase and continue.

Nothing is more important than the public safety of Bend’s citizenry and the credibility of its police force.

We ask a lot of our sworn protectors.

It’s time the city digs deep to find the money necessary to provide the tools that will reveal the truth about these encounters.

Police credibility, and our safety, are on the line. SW

RESPONSE TO, “BEND WOMEN’S MARCH.” (1/21)

RESPONSE TO, “DESCHUTES RIVER SETTLEMENT” 1/12 Thanks for the timely article in your January 12 issue. Many of us don’t understand the significance of an intact ecology. Species (flora & fauna) come and go, but over a long time as conditions change. But when we impact elements of the ecology and unnecessarily eliminate a part of it, that makes the whole (the ecology) not so whole. The point being the whole ecology (plants, animals, fungus, bacteria & on & on) have functioned in a somewhat symbiotic relationship for many, many millennium, each a contributing part and have produced the resources on which we have subsisted since our origin. Without water, of course, it doesn’t work. Piping is good but not the the total fix. In this area, greater Bend environs, there are too many inefficient hobby (tax deferral) farms with water rights. Not an easy fix, but I think worth a healthy look.

—Thanks again, Ted Winchel, a fulltime, 50-year Oregon resident, 26 in Bend.

RESPONSE TO, OPINION— PROTECTING JOURNALISTS MEANS PROTECTING YOURSELF (1/20) A free press is now the only “check” on our government. We need to support those institutions, locally and nationally, that are providing fact-based reporting and solid investigative journalism.

From The Bulletin to The Source, High Country News to The Washington Post... support those newspapers that are fighting the good fight. There is no democracy without a free press.

I rent my 250-gal. underground tank from you so my propane can only come from your office.

cook. Receiving the attached card in the mail today prompted this letter because I feel anything but worry free and comfortable.

On Dec. 21 of 2016 I contacted your office to schedule a fill (even though I am on a “keep full” basis). My tank was at about 35%. Online, under my scheduled deliveries, I was told the delivery would come by Oct. 29. It did not. I called again when I was down to about 20% and was told I would be put on the schedule (although no new delivery date was posted to my online account).

Still no delivery came. When the tank went down 15 percent, I became concerned.

Then I got a phone message Thursday 1/5/17 to say a delivery was coming and was my driveway clear? I called to say yes it was and I was very relieved. But, alas, the delivery never showed up. When I called the office the next day I was told I could not have a delivery nor could I be guaranteed when a delivery would come. They said the delivery people ran out of time and could not get to me the previous day. Now on 1/9/17 I am at 5 percent and I am scared. I call the office every day and politely “beg” for help, telling them what percentage my tank is down to.

Today I called to say my drive had just been plowed so this was the day to come because tomorrow it may not be passable with the next storm expected to drop over a foot of snow. I was told (as usual) that the information would be passed along to the dispatcher. No delivery has come.

I have been keeping my house at 65 degrees to conserve propane and wear a hat, jacket and gloves to keep warm. I would very much appreciate an honest answer to when exactly I will receive a propane delivery. Not knowing is extremely stressful and frightening because I have no confidence I will not run out and then what will happen?

Will my pipes freeze? Will I need to move in with friends?

Is this really the best way to do business?

To leave your customers in the dark, scared and helpless to do anything? What would you do if you were in my situation? I kindly request the courtesy of a response and more importantly a propane delivery.

EVALUATING CONGRESSMEN GREG WALDEN’S CENTRAL OREGON VISIT As Rep. Walden made his way to central Oregon yesterday I can’t help to find myself as many others conflicted about his role in our community and our country. The new head of the energy and commerce committee has power over so much of what guarantees our quality of life that we better pray that he has the same priorities as we do, sadly his record shows otherwise. Central Oregonians cherish the beauty of nature and would like to preserve it for future generations but Rep. Walden supports devastating cuts to EPA, opposes expansion of the Cascade-Siskiyou Monument as well as voted to pass the easing of public land transfer to states that could put in jeopardy hundreds of thousands of acres of forest as well as our water, good heavens our water!

Have we not learned anything from Standing Rock, Flint or Corpus Christi?

Rep. Walden clearly doesn’t stand with Oregonians on the environment but his new position also gives him power over something more personal and more present in our minds than the environment, our health and our ability to care for it for ourselves and our families. Without good health it does not matter how clean the air and water are or how prosperous the economy is. Health is the first thing we need to start our days and to just think that Rep. Walden supports throwing away the Affordable Care Act without a better replacement simply means that your immediate healthcare needs are of no concern to him. In Bend, instead of meeting with the vulnerable constituency that depends on healthcare coverage to stay alive he went to talk to a pharmaceutical company: as our president-elect would say: “Wrong.”

Rep. Walden, we Oregonians value a

healthy economy but not at the expense of lives—with so few Oregonians turning out to vote it's easy to see how you do not represent the values we stand for, so listen closely to the whispers before they become the haunting thunder of social uprising.

t’s not unusual for upwards of 8,000 people to gather at the Les Schwab Amphitheater for a music show in the summertime—but when thousands gather in the downtown area in the middle of winter, it’s a different thing indeed.

On Saturday, event organizers estimate that between 4,000 and 5,000 people gathered in Bend’s Drake Park for the Women’s March, just one of many events that took place around the globe the day after the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

While Bend Police don’t have a more exact figure, Lt. Clint Burleigh estimates a turnout of between 3,000 and 4,000 attendees.

“It’s by far the biggest march we’ve ever had in Bend,” said Melissa Adams, a licensed clinical social worker and the lead organizer of the event.

“I think the cross-generational nature of the event was very noteworthy.

We had everything there from infants under one year old, toddlers, school age, high schoolers through octogenarians,” said Adams. She also noted that the march’s inclusive nature—inviting members of various communities to participate and share their stories—was “healing” for many people.

“As a social worker and someone who’s worked with many, many marginalized groups, it was really really important to me to be intersectional and not be splintered groups,” Adams said.

Carina Miller, a tribal councilwoman from the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs spoke to the crowd just after the march.

“I was really impressed with the organizers reaching out to the tribe.

Bend and Central Oregon in general

hasn’t really been a place with a lot of support for indigenous people, so I thought that was a really good step in wanting to bring that intersectionality into the feminist movement of Central Oregon,” Miller said.

“I feel like I probably had a very different experience than a lot of native women on Saturday because there was a lot of support, and it’s not usually the case,” Miller reflected. “To me it was super powerful to be valued and to be recognized and understood,” she said.

“When people are educated on women’s issues or people of color issues, the oppression stops,” Miller said.

What stood out for Lt. Burleigh was the peaceful nature of the demonstrations, and “our ability to work with the peacekeepers,” Burleigh said. There were “a limited amount of issues. Almost none,” Burleigh added, while also noting that the unpermitted closure of Minnesota and Wall Streets downtown did raise the ire of some drivers.

Adams says the event—organized after Election Day—brought up one issue. At present, City of Bend Special Event Permitting processes require applications to be submitted “no less than 90 days prior to the event in order to allow enough time for review by all City departments, especially if the event requires a lane/ road closure,” according to the City’s website. Because of that rule, the Bend Women’s March did not receive the permit that would have formally closed downtown streets.

In this case, Adams says, “the election didn’t allow us 90 days.” Adams told the Source Weekly she’d be working to change that rule. SW

Rider’s Luck

The strengths, pitfalls and future of Central Oregon Public Transit

7

By Magdalena Bokowa

The Pitfalls “I’ve been stuck in my house for the past two weeks,” begins Jordan Ohlde.

“I’m a little mad.” Ohlde has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair.

Cascade East Transit (CET) is his only form of transportation and he relies on it to get to and from work. He hasn’t been able to access the sidewalks, streets or bus pads due to the accumulated snow and flooded streets. He’s missed work and simple errands have turned into near impossible tasks.

“When I called the City of Bend, they said the responsibility (of clearing snow) was with ODOT. When I called ODOT, they said it was CET. CET says it's the responsibility of property owners.

They’re passing the buck.”

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? “Sidewalk accessibility goes hand in hand with being able to use public transportation. There is no doubt about that,” says Judy Watts, outreach and engagement administrator for the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council (COIC). She makes it clear that these past three weeks have been a unique situation with many Central Oregonians, not just riders,

“It feels like they are shifting the blame, they lean a lot on their code and city ordinance as a reason to not be doing things. How come you can’t all work together? You’re putting it on business owners and citizens of Bend?”

—JORDAN OHLDE struggling to travel. She agrees with CET’s sentiments, “The city ordinance for Bend does state that it is the responsibility of the property owner or a resident or a business owner to maintain their sidewalks and to clear the snow off. CET staff will go periodically and shovel the bus pads...we have worked really hard to try and do as much as we possibly can with bus pads and clearing them out.”

Loyal CET rider Jordan Ohlde is frustrated that weeks later, snow still obscures some bus stops.

Ohlde disagrees. “If it was a priority, then I would be able to get around.”

Ohlde, although irritated, is sympathetic when he speaks about CET. He’s not only a rider, but a veteran member of both the COCA Steering Committee and the Regional Transit Advisory Committee, raising awareness about the obstacles those with disabilities face. He has championed ODOT for safer sidewalks and curbs on busy streets like Greenwood Avenue. He is sympathetic but also disappointed in the disconnect between the City, ODOT and CET about who is responsible, and that still, weeks later, some stops are inaccessible.

“It feels like they are shifting the blame,” he remarks. “They lean a lot on their code and city ordinance as a reason to not be doing things. How come you can’t all work together?

You’re putting it on business owners and citizens of Bend?”

His solution: “I want us all to get together and talk about the barriers and to figure out the future of snow removal, so that we don’t have to hassle people to get it on their radar.”

CET’S FUTURE When not dealing with inclement weather, increasing user accessibility is CET’s top priority. According to Watts, who says: “We try and make our service better in order to make it more convenient and desirable for community members to ride transit and to think of it as an option that is just as good as driving their single occupancy vehicle. It’s not just a bus service, it provides transportation for some individuals who need it, but also people who choose it.”

In September 2015 CET expanded its service by about 30 percent, adding three new routes with direct service to St Charles, OSU-Cascades and Central Oregon Community College.

A $1.5 million Redmond hub, slated for completion late this year, will feature a park and ride, bicycle lot and a sawtooth bus parking making it easier for riders to identify their routes.

“Redmond is a regional hub with

almost all of our community connectors coming through it,” notes Watts.

“So any transit investment that goes into it, benefits not only Redmond, but the entire Central Oregon region.

Public transport is a great solution for some of our region’s growing pains.” In addition, CET is retooling its schedule on Feb. 6, an effort to sync connecting buses with other routes and adding a direct Sisters to Bend route.

Ohlde is supportive, but says, “My sense is they are going in a good direction, but there are no services offered on Sunday and a restricted service on Saturday,” (apart from a fixed route, the Para-Transit system.) On weekdays, buses stop pickup by 7:30pm, restricting mobility. Ohlde wonders, “If they are worried about numbers, they should run a pilot program for six months, but I can guarantee you that if you make the service available, more than likely we will use it.”

Watts says that identifying rider’s needs is carried out mostly by the transit planner and feedback from riders. “We do have a few top priorities to choose from when we receive future funding and we will have to decide between those priorities and something that hasn’t been identified by the public— which one serves the community the best, and serves the most amount of people.”

Moving forward, both Watts and Ohlde urge people to voice ideas and concerns. Watts asserts, “Projects like these, plans that we work on, community input and partnerships, allow us to grow and build upon what we have set in place. Public transit in a community is just as needed as a library or as a park; it’s part of the fabric of a livable community.” SW

entral Oregonians are familiar with this reoccurring scene: accumulated snowfall, slippery ice, wet slush and water wreaking havoc on our streets. Many gripe, shovel and then get on with their day, navigating to their office or classroom via car or on foot. But what if that wasn’t an option, and you were trapped? For weeks?

he mood was upbeat when the first heavy snowfall of the season blasted Central Oregon in early December. After all, it was the holidays.

When the second round of snow hit in early January, “upbeat” turned to “feeling beat”—and for good reason. Coping with heavy snow during a time when many people are on holiday is one thing; dealing with the prolonged reality of ugly weather as real life started again was quite another.

SNOMAGGEDON: A RECAP This year, the snowfall totals have resulted in way more than a pretty winter wonderland. On Jan. 12 the gymnasium roof at Bend’s Highland Magnet School collapsed. It happened before school hours and no one was hurt. Bend-LaPine Schools, which had already been closed for close to a week due to the weather, closed for yet another week while roof safety checks were conducted at 38 schools. Redmond Public Schools followed suit, and parents of young children region-wide were forced to find day care alternatives.

While Bend-La Pine’s superintendent Shay Mikalson has yet to announce the

actual costs associated with school snow removal (and demolition of the gym), he estimated the costs at over $1 million in a letter to families Jan. 20, and indicated the district’s intent to pursue Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief funds to cover costs. The school year is still slated to end June 22, Mikalson said in that letter.

In addition to the damage at Highland School there was roof damage at the Fed-Ex Ship Center in Bend and the storage facility at Hooker Creek. On Jan. 18, the majority of the roof on the former Ray’s Food Place on Century Drive collapsed.

Meanwhile, many homes have reported leakage and structural damage from heavy snow on roofs. It became a common sight to see work crews charging upwards of $75 an hour to shovel snow from rooftops.

Snow plows, working around the clock to clear roads, plowed snow into 10-foot berms.

We know what you’re wondering: Is this winter a record for snowfall?

Not yet. Zolo Media meteorologist Jack Church points out that Central Oregon has received fewer than 60 inches of snow so far this winter. Two other winters on record surpass it by substantial margins. In the winter of 1992-93, the National Weather Service Bend monitoring station measured 89.6 inches of snow. The winter of 1973-74 measured just over 90 inches.

Church says the weather pattern leading into the winter was, at first, considered neutral. “But we began to see some cooling in the Pacific waters that led us to believe we were going into a La Niña situation,” he said.

While La Niña is considered a cooler

THE WEATHER NOW VS. THEN Still, some snowfall records were broken in Central Oregon in early 2017.

The National Weather Service recorded a 24-inch snowpack on Jan. 11 at its Bend location near Highway 20 and Pilot Butte. That broke a record of 16 inches dating back to 1993. Whether this season’s snowfall amounts will surpass 1992-93 remains to be seen, but longtime residents say this winter seems very similar.

Bend resident Dan Kehoe was a longtime resident of Sunriver and witnessed firsthand the 1992-93 winter snowfall at the resort. Kehoe said the snow began as light powder but didn’t

end that way. Living on Shadow Lane, he shoveled twice daily. It continued to pile up. “There was way too much snow for the plows,” he said. Two lane roads became one lane. “I could walk from my yard down to my roof,” he recalled.

Roof shoveling became a necessity and many roofs were shoveled more than once. There was much damage from ice dams, roof collapses and broken pipes. It sounds all too familiar.

DOWNTOWN BUSINESS AS USUAL Prior to the holidays, downtown business was normal, said Rod Porsche, director of the Downtown Bend Business Association. “It’s obviously been a record snowfall, but by and large, I’ve been impressed with everybody doing their part to keep sidewalks and streets accessible,” he told us. The DBBA is responsible for helping clear sidewalks and certain pedestrian crossings in downtown Bend.

In a special move, the city of Bend closed downtown streets to parking the night of Jan. 15 to remove snow blocking street parking access. Crews removed snow on Bond, Wall, Minnesota, Franklin and Oregon streets. “A private contractor assisted the removal using 10 dump trucks and they cleared out a lot of the

snow,” said Porsche.

“By and large, parking has been restored to more acceptable levels.

People can get into spaces and that’s been a huge improvement,” he stated.

He continued, “There was just too much snow to continue to plow and great credit to the city for arranging with the private contractor to remove it.”

Noting that January/February business is traditionally slower than pre-holiday, Porsche says he talked to one business owner who reported sales were down 20 percent prior to the city’s special removal effort, but are now down just 5 percent after snow removal, which he said the owner credits to more available parking near her business.

CITY SPENDS ROUGHLY $300K+ ON PLOWING IN JANUARY City of Bend Communications Director Anne Aurand says crews are still assessing damage from the storms and that final costs won’t be available for some time.

Crews removed snow from the roofs of most city-owned buildings such as City Hall, the Police Department and the Fire Administration building, finding only a few minor leaks.

The City of Bend has 850 miles of roads to maintain. Winter clearing

weather pattern, its counterpart, El Niño, is considered warmer and is often associated with drought conditions.

What was different about the current La Niña pattern is that it has been colder than typical, Church says.

“We’ve had the combination of abnormally cold weather along with ample moisture coming in—the result being heavy snowfall across the area,” said Church.

The 30-year historical average snowfall for Bend is approximately 23 inches. So while this winter has far surpassed the historical average, it falls short of the record 90+ inches set 43 years ago.

Roads and streets became rutted with ice. Cars bounced over ruts in the city’s roundabouts. Street drainage was often blocked with ice and debris, and the “Big Melt” of last week produced lakes of water flooding over streets and sidewalks.

Local officials passed out 13,000 sandbags—the equivalent of 193 tons— to people in preparation for flooding.

When ice cleared, there was evidence of new potholes burrowing into streets.

ATTACK OF LA NINA continued

NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS Cheryl Howard coordinates Neighbors Helping Neighbors volunteers who respond to hundreds of calls from La Pine to Crooked River Ranch from people needing assistance. She said the volume of calls increased dramatically over past years. “Our vulnerable are running out of resources like propane and food and often can’t get out,” she told the Source Weekly. The agency connects the many volunteers to those calling for assistance.

“Delivery trucks often can’t get down their driveways because there’s too much snow,” she stated. “We’ve had people in remote, rural areas running out of food, heat and other necessities in this epiclevel event.” Howard says with last week’s melt the region “dodged a bullet.”

Howard says nextdoor.com was a useful web tool in keeping neighbors advised and in touch during the storms, and that, fortunately, there were no Internet disruptions during the events.

MOUNTAIN SNOW TOTALS The team at Mt. Bachelor reports that the mountain has received over 332 inches of snow since Oct. 1. At the

7,300-foot mid-mountain level, there’s about a 130-inch snow depth. Officials are hopeful the mountain will remain open into May, which is traditional.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture/ Natural Resources Conservation Service updates a daily report which monitors snow water levels throughout Oregon.

Its Jan. 19 report indicated the Upper Deschutes, Crooked River region was 128 percent of normal, a good indicator there will be adequate water supplies for farmers and cities next summer. The highest snow-water level percentage in the state is found in the Owyhee region, measuring 167 percent of normal.

Snowpack levels are considered an indicator of drought conditions and forest fire potential. Accurate measurements help the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation make decisions regarding reservoir water storage and stream flow releases.

Meanwhile, the Climate Prediction Center is calling for greater chances of above average temperatures this summer.

WHAT’S AHEAD? THE EXIT OF LA NIÑA According to the National Weather Service, the rest of the winter will include colder than normal conditions in Central and Eastern Oregon. The La Niña weather pattern is expected to moderate in the coming weeks as winter transitions to spring.

February will bring “much belowaverage temperatures east of the Cascades and above—or well above —average precipitation and mountain snowfall,” with March bringing cool but moderating temperatures east of the Cascades with above average mountain snowpack, according to the NWS. SW

equipment consists of 22 pieces of cityowned equipment—much of it older and in need of maintenance. When the City calls in private contractors, the fleet includes more than 40 pieces of equipment.

Streets Director David Abbas reported December costs for snowplowing—above regular wage and benefit costs—was more than $328,000. Initial estimates are $350,000 - $400,000, according to the City. The city’s street plowing budget for the entire winter season is $1.2 million.

The Darkness of Noon

By Baynard Woods

Reporting from the ground in Washington, D.C.

ozens of police officers block off the corner at 12th and Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C., gripping their batons and canisters of pepper spray, faces obscured behind shields, as nearly 100 activists who had already been arrested are cordoned off behind them, waiting to be processed.

Protesters line the other side of the street. More and more arrive, chanting, yelling, “Let them go!”

A trail of pink smoke cuts through the air. There is the sound of a sting ball grenade and several officers open up with long orange streams of chemical warfare pepper spray. Many people reported that rubber bullets were also fired.

“Because, today … we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.” (These are excerpts from President Trump’s inauguration address.)

Earlier, a woman who said she lived in the neighborhood, was standing at the battle lines screaming at both sides, her body wrapped in an American flag, her face burned by pepper spray, now caked with milk of magnesia.

“Why are you doing this?” she wailed.

“For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished—but the people did not share in its wealth.”

Officers run at people holding their billy clubs in both hands at throat level. Dalton Bennett, a “Washington Post” reporter was thrown to the ground.

Now they tackle a woman on the street and use tall Clydesdale horses to menace anyone getting too close.

“The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.”

Before the melee began, the streets of D.C. were weirdly empty; a ghost town, nothing like what we had seen in previous years, especially Obama’s

Reporter Baynard Woods records the scene in Washington, D.C.

The guerilla chaos that filled the air like the pepper spray on Friday is washed away as half a million people pour into the city for the Women's March, filled with righteous —BAYNARD WOODS anger, solidarity and community. record-setting first inauguration.

“We’re not seeing big crowds,” said Lacy MacAuley, an organizer for DisruptJ20 (a collection of groups that came together for the inauguration protests) and D.C resident.

“We haven’t seen any area where we the protesters don’t outnumber Trump supporters.”

The ever-growing melee began small enough. I was wandering around at the makeshift headquarters for DisruptJ20, a collection of activist groups planning to disrupt the inauguration. I saw a small group of five young people wearing all black start to walk away with purpose. I followed them. They pulled on their masks, but suddenly appeared lost. “Where are they?” they asked.

I started to scan the street and saw it, the mass of black shirts they were looking for. We all ran toward them. By the time I reached them, they too were running, chased by police on cycles— motor and bike—swerving almost as if to mow them down. A protester threw a trashcan into the street. It rolled into a motorbike, forcing it to stop. A sign from in front of a store went flying through the air.

Other officers came in from the

other side. The group—which had allegedly been using Black Bloc tactics of property destruction and the like and it was announced later, will now likely face felony charges—was cornered. That’s when they went crazy with the pepper spray and the batons—for the first time of the day (earlier, activists had chained themselves together to block a checkpoint into the inauguration and the police had not arrested anyone).

“What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017 will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.”

Suddenly, a man appears walking through the crowd, followed by followers and the mood changes, briefly.

“I am the president of America,” the man says. He is wearing a boot on his head and he has a long gray beard and Rasputin eyes. “I am also an amateur hostage negotiator.”

His name is Vermin Supreme and he actually did run for president, as he has since 2004 (he promised a free pony for every American).

A little later, the air again filled with pepper spray and what seemed like a gas. He gets right in front of the police line and squawks out the National Anthem, Jimi Hendrix style, through a bullhorn.

Another officer sprays gas into the crowd and “sting ball” grenades sound around the corner, where the heat of the action has moved. Lines of riot police face the protesters, some of whom threw bricks and concrete.

“Officers did not deploy tear gas and did deploy pepper spray and other armaments,” D.C.’s Interim Police Chief Peter Newsham told Democracy in Crisis. “A full accounting of the control devices deployed will be made available when we have it.”

“The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.”

The same multinational corporations Trump railed against in the campaign had their windows smashed, including Starbucks and Bank of America.

“So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again.”

The day ends with a burning limousine in the streets, a new symbol of our unity.

“Your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.”

The guerilla chaos that filled the air like the pepper spray on Friday is washed away the next days as half a million people pour into the city for the Women’s March, filled with righteous anger, solidarity and community.

At one point, after the march has officially ended, a barricade blocking off Pennsylvania Avenue, leading towards the White House is knocked down. Marchers make their way to the fence on the other end, where Secret Service agents stand. An African-American woman walks up right beside them. “Whose house?

Our House!” she chants, her fist raised in the air.

Fans of jamgrass and beyond can get their dance on when Cascade Crescendo brings its high-energy mix to VTP, 1/29.

S

hattering the traditional notion of bluegrass while still honoring its traditions, Cascade Crescendo embraces high energy and brings an outstanding show to the Volcanic on Jan. 29. “We love it when crowds are up dancing and having a good time,” says lead vocalist Hunter White. “We try and keep things upbeat.”

Formed in 2013, the quartet has a unique feature: all members are songwriters who bring varied musical experiences to their sound. Folky singer-songwriter songs are blended with complex harmonies, traditional bluegrass and faster, alternative rock beats.

ago we were just fans, hanging out at the Northwest String Summit festival, picking away with friends in the campsites. Now we’re playing in it. It’s surreal,” says White. A feat, indeed, considering the band released its debut album, “Caught in the Rain,” just seven months ago.

White credits their evolution to idols Greensky Bluegrass, a band that’s helped develop the genre and taken it to new heights. He notes, “We realized that although we may be playing these bluegrass instruments onstage, we weren’t really playing any traditional sounds. We use a lot of dynamic

What emerges is a cross between funk, jamgrass, Americana and bluegrass—newgrass, as they call it—a sound you can't help but dance to.

What emerges is a cross between funk, jamgrass, Americana and bluegrass—or newgrass, as they call it—a sound you can’t help but dance to. In addition, a cover of “Disarm” by the Smashing Pumpkins might even make an appearance.

“It’s crazy to think that a few years

sounds throughout our set that pull us more into jam band, funky stuff.”

He continues, “I think what many people think of as bluegrass is more closely related to country music and some of the old twangy sounds. So it’s cool to be a part of a movement of modern bands who are bending the Cascade Crescendo and Useful Jenkins Sun. Jan. 29. 8pm.

genre and therefore bringing a lot of new fans in. I think that is happening all over the country— there’s even a big bluegrass revival in Japan.”

As Cascade Crescendo continues to grow, expect to witness complexities in their songwriting. White credits his ability to weave vocal harmonies to a peculiar musical phase of his life: African drumming. “I think some of those choral harmonies have ingrained themselves in my singing, and our abilities to find different harmonies. And our banjo player has a high register, so we’re able to do even more harmonies than before.”

Cascade Crescendo is supported by Useful Jenkins, a Midwest band that White says are veterans of the scene and pioneers of bluegrass. Fans can expect a few on-stage song collaborations at the Bend show, true to both the traditional bluegrass and jam band spirit.

“It really is that community, collaborative aspect that makes bluegrass music so fun to play,” White says, “I’m excited to see where the evolution goes.” SW

CLASSIC ROCK— A founding member of the iconic and revered hard rock band Kiss, Ace Frehley, plays a solo show, stripped from the face paint. A classic rock legend in the music scene since the early ‘70s, Frehley has probably seen all aspects of the sex, drugs and rock 'n roll lifestyle. He may leave the infamous KISS antics at home—forget the smoking guitars, shooting rockets and blood spitting, but his talent shines through in this solo tour. Still killing it, he is a musical maverick, and a prominent guitarist—well respected by his peers.

Expect to witness a high-energy show full of riffs from his career in KISS and as a solo artist. // 7pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $5970. Towertheatre.org.

ou might not have heard of Fortune’s Folly, but you will.

Coming out of Eugene, the band will give you the warm and fuzzy (guitar) feeling of those mid-90s female fronted alt-rock bands like The Breeders and No Doubt. There are also touches of Hole, The Cardigans and Garbage but without ever aping any other sound.

Lead singer Calysta Cheyenne has so much range that she can remind you of the late Sharon Jones on one song while wailing like Gwen Stefani on the next. The band’s self-titled EP from last year might only have five songs on it, but it’s a genuine showcase for Cheyenne’s diverse vocals, as well as the band’s entire lineup.

Drummer Alex ‘Squatch’ Koleber explains the band’s origins. “The band was initially formed in October of 2013. Me and Jesse (Sanchez on bass) were playing together in another project that had been doing some smallscale touring around the West Coast.

We both decided we wanted to go in a different musical direction and started looking to form a new project.”

They teamed up with guitarist Ira Mazie and after an hour of jamming decided they had something good going. “Fast forward 10 months and about a dozen songs later when we decided we wanted to recruit a female vocalist that would fit our sound,” says Koleber. “We auditioned a few people

but nothing was sticking. A last ditch effort inspired a Craigslist ad and Calysta responded within a few days.

We sent her some demos, met her a week later and have been together ever since.”

From there, the band started growing organically. “We started playing

We sent her some demos, met her a week later and have been together ever since." —ALEX KOLEBER small clubs and when we felt we had some solid footing locally, started branching out regionally,” says Koleber. “It’s been a really exciting ride so far, interacting with such devoted music lovers and developing an audience out of town has been challenging but rewarding.”

The rewards are evident in the band’s already polished sound. Sometimes checking out an out of town band as they come through Bend can be a crapshoot, but Fortune’s Folly is a safe bet. In them the legacy of The Breeders is alive and well. SW

Come Out & Play On XC Skis The key ingredients to make your first few days and winters on-snow as enjoyable as possible.

1. Start out by going to a groomed XC ski area.

For beginners, trying to learn on ungroomed surfaces magnifies the difficulty of every movement. By comparison, groomed XC ski areas use machinery to flatten and sculpt snow to be as perfect as possible on a given day for either classic or skate ski techniques.

You learn faster and with far less struggle. You have more fun. Life is good.

2. Start by renting the right XC ski equipment.

4. Start with the right technique for you.

Modern XC skiing includes both classic and skating techniques.

Classic is the centuries-old traditional motion with parallel skis sliding forward in an opposite leg, opposite arm movement pattern. XC ski skating is a cousin of ice and in-line skating with the poles added.

For a never-ever beginner, classic is more of a sure-fire success in the first couple days on-snow. Learning classic skills also gives you the ability to explore ungroomed locations right away. Skating can take a full winter (or two) of practice and will generally require a higher fitness level to start. Note: A background in alpine skiing, ice or in-line skating can help in learning to skate ski.

Beginner XC skiers require a very particular type of equipment to have the greatest success on your first few XC ski outings.

After a few days or weeks renting beginner gear for groomed trails, you can graduate to the many different types of XC ski equipment designed for all manner of groomed and ungroomed skiing options Best local resources for beginners: our sport offers. Mt Bachelor Nordic Center offers the trifecta of groomed trails, on-site rental gear specific for the needs of beginners, and a merry 3.

10 TIPS To Avoid Winter Slips XC Oregon Note: Winter fun and exercise in the Pacific Northwest usually means driving into our nearby mountain areas which requires time crossing a dreaded icy parking lot. In leading the USA contingent to the annual Masters World Cup since 2004, XC Oregon Coach/Director J.D. Downing says that over 90% of the rare injuries on those trips result from XC skiers simply walking across parking lots. Our wonderful sponsors at The Center have assembled this list list of tips to help you stay upright and healthy this winter.

Falls are a major preventable cause of injury for adults 45 and older. One out of five falls causes a serious injury, such as a broken bone or head injury. Slippery, wintry conditions increase the risk of a fall. Keep your footing this winter by following these tips from the orthopedic experts at The Center.

1. Improve your balance. Strengthening your core and balance exercises will reduce the risk of slips. Yoga and tai chi exercises are great examples that help with balance, strength, and flexibility. You can also do simple balance exercises at home, like standing on one foot and holding for 10 seconds on each side. Try it while brushing your teeth!

2. Wear proper footwear. Your boots should fit properly, as well as provide good traction and stability.

3. Dress in layers. Cold, tense muscles can make it more difficult to balance; bundle up to keep your muscles warm and relaxed.

4. Walk like a penguin. When you point your toes slightly out and “shuffle” like a penguin, you maintain more stable support.

5. Use care when you get in and out of your car. Go slowly and make sure you have stable footing.

6. Keep both hands free for balance. Don’t put your hands in your pockets or carry loose items.

7. Watch out for black ice.

8. Use handrails on stairs, so you can catch yourself if you slip.

9. Keep walkways clear. Shovel right away after a snowfall. Use salt or sand on your front steps, driveway, and sidewalk.

10. Watch out for slippery or wet surfaces when entering buildings.

The World Of Performance XC Skiing You ARE fit enough to do XC ski events!

Every single Oregon-based XC ski event offers different distances or is located on a route that is suitable for a moderate level of ski fitness. As opposed to some of the truly epic XC ski odysseys you can find around the world, events in the Cascades tend to be a bit more user-friendly for busy lifestyles.

That said, if you want a good winter challenge, there are several nearby events that will give you plenty to shoot for in terms of motivation to get and stay fit this winter!

XC ski events are the perfect compliment for your dryland sports!

Calling all our thousands of Central Oregon runners, paddlers, and cyclists. You want the secret to your best seasons ever come springsummer-fall in 2017? Aim to do a couple XC ski events this winter!

Since it’s a core element to XC Oregon’s mission to support and promote XC skiing is super low impact on your joints so you can afford to do more XC skiing as a event-based sport, XC Oregon is putting a greater emphasis and harder efforts on XC skis than you ever would safely pull off on a into finding ways to encourage more Oregon adult XC skiers to take part treadmill or stationary bike. Doing a couple XC ski events in the winter outdoors keeps your motivational spirit alive while keeping things fun in at least a couple XC ski events every season. and low-key. Best of all, you get to meet new friends in a totally fresh Here’s our pitch for 2017… and exciting setting that can expand further afield in future years.

You ARE a good enough skier to do XC ski events!

There are plenty of super casual XC ski events throughout the Pacific NW that don’t require you to be a hotshot racer. The February 12 Tour for the Heart & Ski Your Age is absolutely the perfect event for any ability level. 5km around literally the easiest event course in the entire state with treats on the way and at the end? No timing to worry about. Just go out and do it. If you are an overachiever, this year we offer the Ski Your Age Challenge where you can literally do just that — skiing your age in kilometers with no time limit and no pressure.

The XC Oregon events calendar on XCOregon.org lists loads of other great Oregon events and we promise you that most of the folks sharing the route with you aren’t going to be aspiring Olympians. The beauty of XC ski events is sharing the experience with others. So bring along a buddy (or several) and take part together.

XC ski event logistics are easier than you think!

If you want help waxing your skis, our fan-tas-tic local XC ski shops will be more than happy to either do the job for your or sell you only what you need to have good enough skis for a good time. Those same shops can also help if you need to repair or upgrade equipment for an event — something you probably wouldn’t learn until it was too late if you never hop in XC ski events!

In terms of travel, the good news is that statewide XC ski events are limited to Central Oregon and a few spots within 2 hours easy drive. You carpool with your buddies, enjoy a fun morning event, and you’re back home shortly after lunch. What could be easier?

We’ll see you out on the trails this winter!

f you had told me at one point that a rock musical focused on teenage sexuality and angst would be one of my favorite Broadway musicals of the last 25 years, I would have called you a crazy person. Yet, somehow, “Spring Awakening” is a beautiful blast of empathy that makes the heart swell, the tears flow and the world feel a little more beautiful.

The story follows multiple adolescents in late-19th century Germany as they deal with issues just as prevalent now as they were then. The dialogue

Director John Kish handles issues such as burgeoning teen sexuality, abuse and suicide with a very deft touch, never focusing on the pain but only on the catharsis and release of the moments. “It’s a show that seemed truly pertinent to what’s happening now in our world and nation specifically. These are messages that are timeless, but the main being ‘communication and education.’”

Even watching an informal rehearsal, the show was deeply moving and the cast sang the irresistible score beautifully. “Spring Awakening” is a challenging and lovely piece of theatre. People won’t just get a night on the town, but something more.

We’re all aware that winter brings lots of visitors to Bend. But what about those pesky summer months?

Can the “arts” help draw crowds once people hang up their skis and boards? Shannon Planchon hopes so, and she’s got a whopping $200,000 in grant money to prove it. Planchon is the project manager of the Bend Cultural Tourism Commission. “We’re hoping to increase the capacity of organizations and artists by helping to attract outside visitors, while acting as an economic driver,” she says. Especially in the summer.

Funded through Transient Room Tax dollars, the Commission makes grants available to get the local arts engine revving. The $200,000 is an increase from $185,000 last year and $125,000 the year before. The next deadline is mid-April. Local artists: consider yourselves motivated.

Consider: Making these phones and pads and laptops can keep workers on the job for 84 hours a week. Not to mention safety hazards in the workplace. Add that to the potential for environmental destruction since these gadgets are hardly designed to last forever.

James Parsons goes to the extreme

By Brian Jennings 19 degrees.

Like many Central Oregonians, Parsons is a transplant. He grew up near Santa Barbara, Calif., where he was always interested in outdoor photography. As an adult, he and his wife grew tired of the California rat race and cost of living. They moved to Portland for seven years, discovered Bend on vacations and eventually moved here. Parsons was in the medical supply business but now follows his photography passion full time.

During his time in the Willamette Valley Parsons experienced the dramatic differences in Oregon’s climate and geography, and the extreme differences between western and eastern Oregon. “Although this state is known for its greenery and rain, it’s actually the minority of what’s here.

If I were to sum up the state in two words, it would be, ‘Extreme Oregon’.

“What made me get serious about photography was when we moved from Portland to Bend and had a bigger house with blank walls in need of photos and art,” Parsons said. Sharing an outdoor and hiking interest with his wife, he purchased an entry level

“People want to get the first shot of crossing boundaries where they shouldn’t be to show how cool they are that they’ve stood somewhere— breaking the rules—with a unique picture they can post.”

We both set up our tripods and tracked the setting sun, providing hues of pink and orange above the fog and over the mountain. Parsons coached me through aperture settings, shutter speeds and manual focus options.

When we arrived at Sparks Lake, it was 32 degrees and late afternoon.

When we left an hour later, with frozen fingers and great photos, it was

DSLR camera and began capturing those experiences, printing them at Costco and “saved a ton of money” decorating his house. “I have several rooms you can’t really walk into because there are so many prints just sitting in there,” he says.

As a guide, he sees changes—many not beneficial to the outdoor environment of Central Oregon. As Central Oregon’s population and tourism

If you liked Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere” or Naomi Novik’s “Uprooted,” you’re in familiar territory, though Arden mines the rich world of Russian fairy tales to create a story both familiar and uniquely her own.

Set in the northern reaches of 14th century Russia, it begins with young Vasya and her siblings huddled around the fireplace listening to their nurse tell tales about Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon and the wise Russians

ames Parsons of Bend thinks Oregon is extreme; so much so that he named his photography company “Extreme Oregon.” Parsons is one of many professional photographers making a name for themselves in Central Oregon, where he can conveniently travel the state in search of those special digital moments he shares in his photos. His goal is to travel to every Oregon wilderness and he admits he has a lot to go before he photographs in them all.

We got to know Parsons on one of his outdoor client workshops, heading into the high Cascades searching for photo opportunities. Parsons is also a licensed outdoor guide.

We fired up his two snowmobiles at Mt. Bachelor. Our first stop was Todd Lake for an iconic afternoon view of Mt. Bachelor with the sun moving west. Then we sped off toward Broken Top, snowshoeing into the wilderness where motorized travel is illegal. From there we headed to Sparks Lake for the evening sun. There was a dense fog rising from the lake skirting the base of Mt. Bachelor, providing an eye-catching contrast to the forests

Photographer James Parsons and a trusty assistant go to great lengths for that perfect image.

continue to grow, he sees it taking a toll on the landscape. At the edge of the Three Sisters Wilderness overlooking Broken Top, he points out illegal snowmobile tracks leading into the wilderness, saying, “There are always some who will break the rules.”

“Dramatically, shockingly, from one year to the next in certain places, it feels like the crowds have easily doubled. Central Oregon is on the radar. The economy is good. Tourism is booming. Oregon’s been the number one moving destination for three straight years now,” he reflects.

Parsons says he makes it a point to not only pack out his own garbage, but that of other people, too. “I take out more trash than I bring in, which is easy to do,” he says.

Parsons is also a critic of social media and its impacts on nature.

“People want to get the first shot of crossing boundaries where they

shouldn’t be to show how cool they are that they’ve stood somewhere— breaking the rules—with a unique picture they can post.”

He also feels the social media culture encourages others to break the rules of leaving no trace. “Social media feeds that, especially with younger people where being cool is so important to them.” He tells others to not broadcast exact locations of special places he thinks are environmentally vulnerable.

“I don’t even think people know what ‘leave no trace’ means anymore,” he says.

Parsons says he plays a mental game before he leaves a special place, asking himself if anyone would ever know he was there. Chances are they won’t. SW James Parson's work can be viewed at extremeoregon.net

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe who fear him. It’s the perfect opening that sets the stage for what’s to come.

When Vasya’s mother dies and her father brings back a new wife from Moscow, Vasya finds escape from her devout, manic stepmother among the spirits of the natural world.

The stepmother forbids Vasya to honor these fey spirits and soon the town begins to sicken and suffer misfortune. Perhaps these spirits protect them from more than they know.

As the story moves forward and a stranger inad-

vertently brings dark powers ever closer to the fore, Vasya turns to the spirit world for help including Frost, the Winter Demon himself. What ensues is a tale that embodies everything we love about myth and folklore, romance and tragedy.

“The Bear and the Nightingale” is a wonderful, engaging story that many will enjoy. Given everything going on in the world, give yourself a free pass to read something for no other reason than the pure enjoyment of the tale. SW

Gone Fishin’ at Roszak’s

LITTLE BITES

The Source finds a sea of seafood on Third Street

By Magdalena Bokowa and Jared Rasic

With only a few hundred restaurants and bars to choose from in Central Oregon, surely you must be devoid of tasty bites and food-related activities, right? Totes!

Here are a few food-related things you should know about.

Jump on the Pup Crawl

Ahoy, landlubbers! The shrimp medley platter has cast anchor in Bend!

1984 and a dim and cozy fever dream ready to lull you back to sleep. It was a weekday and noon, but the place was going off. The two cornerstone drunks were obediently seated at the bar discussing the inauguration while a group of construction workers told jokes and waited for their drinks.

Low-key and comfortable, we slipped right in, as if we were already regulars.

“Let the seafood feasting begin,” I declared. As if by magic, an enormous plate of razor clams appeared. Well, technically, first it was a screwdriver and Bloody Mary followed by a few

As we waited, two Long Islands in, the soft sounds of Donald Trump's inauguration played in the background and images of rioting and tear gas rolled in.

Roszak’s barely has an online presence, and their Yelp reviews could charitably be called “brutal.” The majority of online opinion is fairly negative. “It’s the type of place whose clientele has been slowly dying off due to either old age or side effects of alcoholism,” reads one review. So with this in mind, we discussed strategies to alleviate food poisoning. We bought Pepto Bismol. Magdalena tapped her purse, saying “I have Immodium, just in case.” She gave me an all-too-knowing glance that would haunt me for the rest of the lunch.

We took a breath, entered and prepared for an onslaught of musty smoke and dingy carpets. We were disappointed. Instead, a bright and airy, albeit dated décor, greeted us, as did a smiling career waitress, who cheerfully exclaimed, “Welcome, friends!”

We beelined for the lounge and walked into what is a cross between the greatest bar that ever existed in

Long Islands, but who’s counting?!

From there came a tremendous pile of clams floating gently in a white wine sauce amid a bed of full garlic cloves.

Mouth. Watering.

After being disappointed that no, there would be no exceptions to the 4 pm arrival of the prime rib special, my partner in crime somewhat begrudgingly decided to settle for the shrimp medley platter, solely because, as she put it, “It has the words medley and platter in it.” I doubled down on fish and chips. As we waited, the soft sounds of Donald Trump’s inauguration played in the background and images of rioting and tear gas rolled in.

I’m not sure if it was this surreal scene or the lounge, or the Long Islands, but I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone.

Full of seafood.

My wandering mind was jolted as a strong scent of fried batter permeated the air. Our (now) unsteady gaze (we would later regret the Long Islands)

searched and found our waitress, whose wrists were struggling under the weight of our entrees. Even so, she ever so gingerly placed my fish and chips and her platter down. The tour de force had arrived.

Magdalena eyed her platter skeptically, not able to discern the quoted three types of shrimp from one another. “It all looks the same,” she whined, but within the same breath, grabbed one, dipped it into a curious brown sauce and popped it into her mouth. I hunkered down on my halibut, which was surprisingly thick and lightly battered, a generous portion.

The seafood chowder was less spectacular but still flavorful, and the fried jojos were, well, how can you really screw up fried potatoes?

Just like life, some things were delicious and some things were mediocre.

None of it was outright awful, just maybe a little forgettable. Also like life.

The food was gone, our drinks demolished, our bellies sated and without complaint. We looked around the cozy lounge one more time. There was the typical scene you’d expect at a place called Roszak’s. The regulars at the bar, one now looking a lot like Ted Danson, were commanding their stools like captains of a moored ship.

Each time someone would come in, raining light upon our sunken lounge, they would say hi to everyone they knew in the room—everyone but us.

As we packed up our things and got ready to leave, we were reminded how nice it is when everyone knows your name. And sometimes, I’d rather have a great atmosphere than a Michelin star dish. SW Roszak’s Fish House

years. That’s how long I’ve lived in Bend and I’ve never stepped foot inside of Roszak’s Fish House. The self proclaimed king of seafood has been open for 37 years and is best known, oddly enough, for its prime rib special. Curious as to how a restaurant could survive for so long in the landlocked high desert, I used to think it was a front for backroom cockfighting rings or black market loan sharks. You know, the stuff of ‘80s movies. But as I started looking into it, I realized it wasn’t hiding anything—it’s a local hang out and a staple for many old school Bendites; a place where everyone knows your name and the waitress is waiting for you with a smile and your favorite drink. It’s a Cheers but with fish and prime rib.

Still skeptical though, I refused to go at it alone, so I dragged along Source staff reporter Magdalena Bokowa. She was overly enthusiastic, gleefully exclaiming: “This could be my Midtown local. The place where I grow old in.” Aside from the eagerness to become an alcoholic, she was nervous. Would it be a scene from an old Western when we walked in? A crowd falling silent and judging the newcomers, perhaps? She met me outside the big wooden door, simply marked “dining.” Her eyes shifted nervously, saying “Is this it?”

wickelmania, the annual Oregonwide celebration of its wondrous beer and brewery scene, is coming next month. Why the early notice?

Because with the way the 2017 version of this celebration is set up, Bendites may want to consider organizing a weekend trip to Portland for it.

An annual event since 2009, Zwickelmania is a one-day bash in which over 120 breweries across the state open their doors, holding tours, meet-thebrewer talks, special tastings and more.

Except this year, it’s actually two days.

Breweries in metro Portland celebrate Zwickelmania Feb. 18, while the rest of the state, including Central Oregon, holds the event the following Saturday, on Feb. 25. It’s really the best of both worlds for people in Bend, giving beer fans a chance to check out the Zwickel scene up in Portland without missing out on all the stuff the local joints are brewing up for the day.

First, the Bend highlights. Free shuttles connected to 14 different breweries holding events last year, the highlight of which being Boneyard and its parking-lot block party just south of downtown. Full pints served at the brewery? Sure—anything is possible during Zwickelmania! They’ll be back at it this year, as will places like Worthy, Riverbend and Wild Ride. If the weather’s nice, though, head for Crux for beers around the firepit and free tastes from their Banished series straight from the barrels they age ‘em in.

But what about Portland, where the show kicks off on Presidents’ Day weekend? The possibilities are practically endless. Check out Widmer, for example, to get a chance to tour their pilot system and chat with co-founder Rob Widmer. Grab some brunch at the Rogue Eastside Pub (formerly the Green Dragon, may it rest in peace).

Check out some of the one-offs being produced by smaller guys like Baerlic and Grixen. It’s also Migration Brewing’s seventh birthday that weekend, and they’re releasing a special stout with coffee and milk for the occasion.

No matter what winds up on the itinerary, though, it’s worth making a few stops to see just how big this scene really is. SW

He’s Lovin’ It

Ray Kroc’s American scream

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 04 / January 26, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

don’t know what it is about “The Founder” that feels so familiar.

Something about a smug and greedy capitalist screwing over a couple of ethical and moral small businessman just sounds like something I’ve heard about recently. I’ll think of it, I’m sure.

“The Founder” tells the story of Ray Kroc, a man who was tired of feeding from the bottom and decided to steal the American dream for himself. In his 50s, Kroc was a traveling salesman struggling to put food on the table. When he passes through San Bernardino and sees McDonald’s, he sees a bright shining future; one where the burgers and fries come to the customer in 30 seconds instead of 30 minutes. And he wants a piece of it.

Kroc ingratiates himself to Richard and Maurice McDonald so much so that they put him under contract as their franchise agent. Dick and Mac (played with genuine heart and warmth

by Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch) care about their business. They care about quality control and giving customers good food for inexpensive prices. The McDonald’s brothers see Kroc’s ambition and, even though he scares them a little, they decide to trust the man. It was the worst mistake of their lives.

Kroc is under a contract with the McDonald’s brothers that says he can’t make franchise decisions without their personal OK—something they never give him. Kroc doesn’t care about the brand as much as he cares about making money hand over fist. So when he hears “no” one too many times, he hatches a scheme to steal the business

(and the land) right out from under the brothers.

Michael Keaton is mesmerizing as Ray Kroc. He gives the man a hangdog soul that makes the audience root for him for the first half of the movie— until his abrupt shift into a bloodthirsty capitalist scumbag. Here’s the thing: Ray Kroc is never lazy. He did have the vision to make McDonald’s what it is today: a massive franchise that feeds one percent of the population every day. His ambition created the massive corporation much more than the McDonald’s brothers ever did... but it still wasn’t his idea.

All of this leads to the biggest problem with the film. “The Founder” could have been a pointed and biting look at American capitalism like “The Social Network” or “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Instead, it’s just a straightforward biopic of Ray Kroc with uninspired direction by journeyman director John Lee Hancock. Hancock keeps the pace moving, but without any style, subtext or flair—in much the same way as he did “The Blind Side” and “Saving Mr. Banks.”

“The Founder” wants to be a critique of the American dream, but it lacks the depth it needs in order to

make its points. The film seems afraid to judge Kroc for his actions because it’s trying to tell a story without bias, but if the story is true to history, then he should be judged for those actions. “The Founder” proves that the American Dream is available to those with the best lawyers and the shakiest morals, but I’m not quite sure that it meant to.

ELLE: Paul Verhoeven has made some of the

most challenging and uncomfortable films ever made. He also made “Showgirls.” The point is, “Elle” is supposed to be one of the finest films of the year as it follows a woman who turns the tables on the man who sexually assaulted her.

While the film sounds like a very difficult film to watch, Verhoeven isn't just an exploitative and lurid director. Tin Pan Theater

HIDDEN FIGURES: Taraji P. Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, one of the key mathematical minds that helped put John Glenn into orbit during the Space Race. Watching Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae take on a sexist and racist NASA while doing twice the work as everyone else is inspiring, but also infuriating.

Old Mill Stadium 16 JACKIE: Natalie Portman plays Jackie O in the

days after the assassination of JFK. The film has been hailed as a very different look at a well-trod subject and Portman is guaranteed an Oscar nomination with her turn as the former first lady.

(“Whiplash”) takes his incredible eye and style and puts it into making a throwback to Hollywood musicals of the 1940s-50s. Ryan Gosling plays a focused jazz musician who falls in love with Emma Stone, a struggling actress. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House

LIVE BY NIGHT: Ben Affleck has done a remarkable job turning his career around once he stepped into the director's chair, but “Live

By Night” is definitely his first big misstep since then. He still has a wonderful sense of pacing and composition, but he completely miscast himself as a prohibition gangster with a heart of gold. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX MANCHESTER BY THE SEA: For those

looking for adult entertainment, “Manchester by the Sea” is an emotional powerhouse. Casey Affleck gives the performance of his career as Lee Chandler, a broken man whose brother dies and leaves him as the guardian to his 16-year-old nephew. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

MONSTER TRUCKS: Yes, this looks like a

ridiculously goofy kids movie, but something about the idea of a giant, weird-looking monster living inside of a truck is pretty appealing. It has a surprisingly deep bench of great actors including Amy Ryan, Thomas Lennon and Barry Pepper, so maybe there's something more to it than juvenile burp jokes. Old Mill Stadium 16 | Redmond Cinema.

PASSENGERS: Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt star as two attractive handsomes in sleep stasis aboard a ship headed across the galaxy, taking a chunk of the human race to a new home planet. The problem: They're both awake about 100 years too early and can't go back to sleep. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema PATRIOT'S DAY: Director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg team up for the third time (after “Lone Survivor” and the underrated “Deepwater Horizon”) to tell the story of the first responders and detectives that helped with the Boston marathon bombing. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema ROGUE ONE: Not sure if you guys have heard of this one. It's a little indie space opera about a rag tag group of rebel insurgents who take on a dark and twisted empire hellbent on ruling the galaxy.

The final 30 minutes are some of the most emotionally powerful and intense sequences in Star

Wars history. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

SILENCE: Martin Scorsese triumphantly returns after his failed show “Vinyl” with what might be his masterpiece. This is a quietly profound adventure meeting a deeply affecting meditation on faith, humanity and the lengths we will go to as humans to believe. See full review on pg 33.

SING: The story follows a bunch of anthropomorphic animals as they enter a singing competition, the film covers its bases for folks waiting for the next season of “The Voice” to start. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Sisters Movie House | Redmond Cinema

SLEEPLESS: “Sleepless” stars Jamie Foxx as a Las Vegas police detective working undercover with some deadly gangsters. He eventually gets caught between the bad guys, some corrupt cops and internal affairs as only someone in a modern police thriller can be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SPLIT: A newfound brevity has entered the work

of M. Night Shyamalan and “Split” is the result.

This is a tense, pulse-pounding thriller starring James McAvoy giving one of the finest performances of the year as a man with 23 personalities in his head all fighting for control. This one is absolutely bonkers. Old Mill Stadium 16 & Redmond Cinema

THE BRAND NEW TESTAMENT: Told from

the point of view of God's long-suffering daughter, “The Brand New Testament” is a starkly funny look at humanity's relationship to organized religion and how far we go out of our way to make everything fit the narratives we need in order to be happy. Tin Pan Theater

THE BYE BYE MAN: It's January, which means that any horror movies that are released are going to be terrible. That's just how January works. “The Bye Bye Man” could possibly break that trend, but the terribly flat trailers don't give much hope. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE FOUNDER: Michael Keaton gives what will probably be an Oscar-nominated performance as Ray Kroc, the man who lived the American dream by stealing it from someone else. A timely cautionary tale about vulture capitalism and the lengths Americans will go to for a few billion bucks. See full review on pg 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX UNDERWORLD: Blood Wars: This is the fifth

film in the “Underworld” franchise, but the first since 2012's “Awakening.” It's nice to have a female-led action franchise, but let's hope that the film can bring new (ahem) blood to the series. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX |. Redmond Cinema.

WHY HIM?: Bryan Cranston and Megan

Mullally play disapproving parents meeting their daughter's fiance for the first time. Since the fiance is played by James Franco, a bizarre tech billionaire, it makes sense why they might not be extremely stoked about their daughter shacking up with that guy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX | Redmond Cinema

XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE: As goofy as this ultimately is, the success of the “Fast and Furious” franchise allowed Vin Diesel to reignite one of his old failed characters. The original “XXX” felt like an ad for some terrible energy drink and was outright terrible, but this new take on the series adds Donnie Yen riding dirt bikes on the ocean and Ice Cube with a grenade launcher.

A

n atheist, a Christian, a Buddhist and a Catholic walk into a theater to see “Silence.” As they are leaving, the Buddhist says, “Did you see Buddha in the film walking invisibly across the characters’ hearts?” The Christian says, “Did you see the power of love and how it gives us strength?” The Catholic says, “Did you see the holy church carry these penitent men across their sins?” The atheist looks at all of them and says, “God never existed. We all die alone.” In the context of this film, all of them are correct.

“Silence” is Martin Scorsese’s passion project. He spent close to three decades trying to get it made, which it almost was in 2009 with Gael Garcia Bernal, Benicio del Toro and Daniel Day-Lewis in the three main roles. The film entered development hell, causing Scorsese to work on “Hugo” and “Shutter Island” instead.

The film is based on the 1966 novel by Shusaku Endo, which was already adapted by Masahiro Shinoda into a 1971 film of the same name.

Endo’s novel was profoundly interesting because he took on the story of Japanese religion and Jesuit priests from the rare perspective of a Japanese Roman Catholic.

“Silence” tells the story of two Portuguese Jesuit priests in Macau who are told that their mentor, Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson) renounced his faith under torture while preaching in Japan. Father Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Father Garupe (Adam Driver) don’t believe that Ferreira would commit apostasy, so they set off to be smuggled into Japan and find the truth of the matter. Since this is deep in the 17th century, it was illegal to be a Christian and priests and converts alike were tortured or put to death unless they renounced their faith.

The first half of the movie plays like an old-fashioned adventure story, as Rodrigues and Garupe sneak into Japan, hiding in the mountains as

Japanese peasants come to them for communion, confession and to feel close to God and Jesus. Watching these men and women, priests and Christians alike, desperate to practice their religion, even under the threat of death is awe-inspiring.

If “The Last Temptation of Christ” and “Kundun” are about men coming to terms with divinity, then “Silence” is about someone close to God coming to terms with being human.

As uniformly excellent as the cast is (including Tadanobu Asano and Issey Ogata almost stealing the movie), it’s really the story of Andrew Garfield’s Father Rodrigues. It’s his faith that we watch slowly crumble throughout the 161-minute running time, and Garfield is a revelation.

From the exquisite sound design that uses silence like a weapon, the sumptuous photography of Rodrigo Prieto whose use of fog here rivals that of Bergman and Tarkovsky, and the absolutely flawless composition of Scorsese, who just might have made his masterpiece here, “Silence” is a towering and stunning achievement.

This film doesn’t just want us to question our faith or lack thereof. It wants us to re-examine the symbols we clutch, the way we converse with each other and the connective tissue that makes us all human beings. “Silence” is a complex work of art and a surreal journey into the heart of a man, while making no apologies for its dense, mythological structure. In 10 to 15 years you won’t have to seek this movie out. It will be taught in schools and humanity will be better for it. SW

XC Championships in Bend

Racing for beer, bragging rights or a national championship. Take your pick.

by Nicole Vulcan 37

Back in 2016, even the big winners found the course pretty challenging.

In a post-race interview with running coach Dave Ross of Ross Running, men’s 10K champion Craig Lutz had this to say: “Even without the altitude, very challenging course, but you throw in that (altitude) you’re not recovering on those hills.” Lutz continued: “The thing about the downhills here, they’re so aggressive that by the end of the race you’re not recovering anymore, so it’s really, it’s just pain for the last 4K.” “It is challenging, but that’s a real cross country course,” said Hank Therien, director of sales & sports development for Visit Bend. “A lot of these cross country events happen in

f you’re into a wintry round of golf, the River’s Edge Golf Course in the heart of Bend is one of the places to do it. And in 2016 and 2017, it’s also the place for world-class cross country runners to show their chops in what’s proved to be a fairly challenging run on the fairway.

On Feb. 4, runners will gather at River’s Edge for the 2017 National Cross Country Championships.

Distances in the competitive categories include 6K to 10K races in categories including open, masters and junior levels. Visit Bend brought the event to town in 2016 and now 2017, partly as a way to boost tourism numbers during the often-slow shoulder season.

“A lot of these cross country events happen in city parks that are nice and flat, and you don’t come to a mountain town to run in a cross country meet and not have any elevation.”

—HANK THERIEN In addition to the competitive events, the races include a 4K community race for all skill levels, as well as two beer-related relays. The Brewer’s Relay allows teams of two or four people to race the 4K course—but the catch is, participants have to drink a full beer before passing the baton onto the next person. As a reward though, the winning team wins its weight in beer from local breweries. A similar race, the Brewer’s Cup, allows people from local breweries the chance to compete for bragging rights. In addition, breweries have their entry fees donated to the nonprofit of their choice.

Event organizers say they’ve altered the routes a bit from 2016, when the championships took place at the same course. This year, the terrain will be roughly the same, though there have been some “key updates to enhance the athletes’ experience,” according to the Visit Bend website.

city parks that are nice and flat, and you don’t come to a mountain town to run in a cross country meet and not have any elevation.”

Fortunately for the average spectator, the pain of the course may lie more with the snow that continues to fall on Central Oregon and less on the ups and downs of the course. But in case you’re wondering, the course will be cleared of snow, so you can run instead of snowshoe the route, Therien says.

Natural World

Helping our greater sage grouse survive

By Jim Anderson

W

39 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 04 / January 26, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

ho would ever have thought the once-huge populations of Oregon's greater sage grouse, would suddenly begin to vanish from an ancient domain, and be considered candidates for the endangered species list? What happened to cause this terrible decline? That, dear readers, is what a lot of people would like to know.

There were a few clues when the first reports came from a wildlife biologist at Oregon State University.

When biologists looked around them, it became obvious: habitat destruction. This factor was literally driving the sage grouse out of house and home.

From 1988 to 1993, wildlife biologist Jan Hanf and researchers from the Prineville BLM office conducted a sage grouse study on Bureau of Land Management lands, including the Millican ATV trails. Trails used

by ATVs ran right through a variety of sage grouse communities, which included ideal nesting habitat.

It took time, but finally Hanf found a scientific and political base with which to close off use of the Millican playgrounds. Recently, East Cascades Audubon Society members discovered other factors that may be affecting sage grouse populations, including West Nile Virus.

WNV has been previously documented in the sage-steppe of eastern Deschutes County. One human case was documented in 2016, while one or more avian cases were confirmed in the Wildhorse Hunt Unit in years past.

No information has been collected on mosquito vectors (60 possible species) present on the High Desert.

Someone could test stock water, dugout playa water storage areas, guzzlers and other water sources to see

a spot where grouse can be predated or followed to a nest? All these concerns boil down to one huge factor that’s slipped past range managers and wildlife biologists: The onslaught of managing the Great Sandy Desert for cows that began in the 80’s, not taking into consideration the impact on sage grouse.

Tens of thousands of acres of native sagebrush, including Silver Sage—a plant that sage grouse cannot go long without—was destroyed and replaced with non-native grasses and the land made into grazing pastures. The land

The Adopt-a-Lek program organized by ECAS and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is not for the weak-at-heart. if WNV is present in levels that inhibit grouse recovery. Some researchers feel that water sources concentrate grouse and carriers and possibly serve as a site for WNV transmission. It seems that with newer modalities such as eDNA there is an opportunity to determine whether these water sources benefit or harm sage grouse reproduction and welfare. Meanwhile, WNV testing could also be conducted on wings submitted by hunters at check stations.

ECAS also considered predators, asking: Do open water sources serve as predator sinks for grouse? Are guzzlers

was sprayed with herbicides by the BLM and replaced by grasses for cows, which drove the sage grouse out.

Perhaps it was all too easy to forget that one part of any ecosystem affects another. Removal of sagebrush allowed increased predation by ravens and other grouse-eaters, caused the birds to crowd into what habitat was left, and perhaps increased the risks of WNV infection. Meanwhile the playas that became water troughs for cows also became habitat for mosquitoes.

Today, one can travel on the BLM roads through the Great Sandy Desert of Harney, Lake and Malheur Coun-

ties and witness what the federal government has done to accommodate cattle-raising, and how those schemes have impacted sage grouse survival and reproduction. All these factors have made it absolutely necessary that land managers collect every piece of data they can to make wise decisions for the future, and the Adopt-a-Lek program is supplying much of that missing data.

If you would like to get involved, this is your chance. Target count periods are March 18 thru April 1, then from April 2 thru April 15 and April 16 thru April 30.

The Adopt-a-Lek program organized by ECAS and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is not for the weak-at-heart. In some places the going is rough—but for those who take part there are rewards beyond description. Right off the bat volunteers will get to see parts of Oregon most people just dream about.

A “lek” is a large portion of wild lands located in the sagebrush coun-

try of Oregon’s “Great Sandy Desert” where male sage grouse gather in spring to shake their fannies at their female counterparts—and each other—and literally get into the mating game. The whole idea is to count noses—or in this case, beaks— and see what’s going on. The program is staffed by more than 50 volunteers, many of whom have counted Greater Sage Grouse on 100 leks for the past 11 years. Volunteers receive lek count protocol training and learn how to survey for new leks. Count information is used to estimate the breeding population and add it to the sage grouse database used by federal and state biologists, data sorely needed for management decisions.

Bend Real Estate Statistics for 2016

T

of home sales fell in the range of $350,000 to $500,000. The remaining home sales for the higher end of the market comprised about 36 percent of the remaining market, with the $500,000-$800,000 price range comprising 19 percent of those sales.

The inventory level remained at about two months. Most industry analysts feel that a four to six month inventory level is needed for a balanced market that favors neither buyers nor sellers. Most of these analysts are also saying that new construction is not keeping up with housing demand.

he Beacon Report, which is based on real estate statistics from our local MLS, recently came out with December 2016 figures which allow some interesting comparisons to last year’s Bend single family residence sales of 1 acre or less.

According to the report, closed sales in 2016 increased by about 4 percent over the prior year. Not only were more homes sold, but they were sold at a higher price as reflected in the median price increase of about 8 percent.

The largest share of homes sold was in the $100,000 to $350,000 price range at about 48 percent of total home sales. Another 16 percent

ADVICE GODDESS Flee Willy

I’m a 27-year-old woman, dating again after a six-year relationship. I slept with a guy on the third date and was dismayed when he didn’t spend the night. It didn’t feel like just a hookup, and it wasn’t a work night. Is this just how people date now — going home immediately after sex — or does this mean he’s not serious?

—Confused

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / January 26, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

42

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One is to say, “Hey, I’d really like you to stay the night.” The other is to hide his shoes and keys.

The “half-night stand” — avoiding the early-morning walk of shame, often via middle-of-the-night Uber — is being proclaimed the new one-night stand. The truth is, the just-post-sex adios isn’t exactly a new phenomenon; it’s probably just more prevalent, thanks to how easy smartphones make it to swipe office supplies, Thai food, and sex partners right to your door.

As for why this guy left, it’s hard to say.

Maybe he’s gone for good, or maybe he just wasn’t sure you wanted him to stay. Maybe he sleepwalks, sleep-carjacks, or can’t fall asleep in a strange bed. Or maybe he’s got some early-morning thing — seeing his parole officer, walking the goat, or (more likely) making the bathroom smell like 12 dead goats.

Your fretting about what the deal is suggests you might not be as comfortable as you think about having sex before there’s a relationship in place. You may unconsciously be succumbing to a form of peer pressure — peer pressure that mainly exists in your own mind — called “pluralistic ignorance.” This is social psychologists’ term for when many people in a group are personally uncomfortable with some belief or behavior

but go along with it anyway — incorrectly concluding that most people are A-Okay with it and thinking they should be, too.

(Basically, “monkey assume/monkey do.”)

Consider how the millennial generation is supposedly “Generation Hookup.” Looking at survey data from Americans ages 20 to 24, psychologist Jean Twenge actually found that people born from 1990 to 1994 (millennials) were “significantly more likely” than those born from 1965 to 1969 (Gen Xers) to say they’d had ZERO sex partners since the age of 18. (Fifteen percent of millennials went sexless, versus 6 percent of Gen Xers.)

And if millennials were clued in on pluralistic ignorance, the number in the “no sex for now” column might be even higher. For example, biological anthropologist Chris Reiber finds that women seriously overestimate other women’s comfort level with “hookup behaviors” (from “sexual touching above the waist” to sex) in situations “where a more traditional romantic relationship is NOT an explicit condition of the encounter.”

Figure out what actually works for you emotionally — whether you can just say ”whatevs!” if a guy goes all nail-’n’-turntail or whether you might want to wait to have sex till you’ve got a relationship going.

That’s when it becomes easier to broach uncomfortable subjects — so you won’t have to wonder, say, why he’s running out at 2:27 a.m. You will know: It’s not you; it’s his sleep apnea and how he likes to go home to his CPAP machine rather than die in your bed.

ASTROLOGY

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Who would have

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In Shakespeare’s play MacBeth, three witches brew up a spell in a cauldron. Among the ingredients they throw in there is the “eye of newt.” Many modern people assume this refers to the optical organ of a salamander, but it doesn’t. It’s actually an archaic term for “mustard seed.” When I told my Piscean friend John about this, he said, “Damn! Now I know why Jessica didn’t fall in love with me.” He was making a joke about how the love spell he’d tried hadn’t worked. Let’s use this as a teaching story, Pisces. Could it be that one of your efforts failed because it lacked some of the correct ingredients?

Did you perhaps have a misunderstanding about the elements you needed for a successful outcome? if so, correct your approach and try again.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Once upon a time, Calvin of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip made this bold declaration: “Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” Given your current astrological aspects, Aries, I think you have every right to invoke that battle cry yourself. From what I can tell, there’s a party underway inside your head.

And I’m pretty sure it’s a healthy bash, not a decadent debacle. The bliss it stirs up will be authentic, not contrived. The release and relief it triggers won’t be trivial and transitory, but will generate at least one long-lasting breakthrough.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The coming weeks will be an excellent time to ask for favors. I think you will be exceptionally adept at seeking out people who can actually help you. Furthermore, those from whom you request help will be more receptive than usual. Finally, your timing is likely to be close to impeccable. Here’s a tip to aid your efforts: A new study suggests that people are more inclined to be agreeable to your appeals if you address their right ears rather than their left ears.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Here are your five words of power for the next two weeks, Gemini. 1.

Unscramble. Invoke this verb with regal confidence as you banish chaos and restore order. 2. Purify.

Be inspired to cleanse your motivations and clarify your intentions. 3. Reach. Act as if you have a mandate to stretch out, expand, and extend yourself to arrive in the right place. 4. Rollick. Chant this magic word as you activate your drive to be lively, carefree, and frolicsome. 5. Blithe. Don’t take anything too personally, too seriously, or too literally.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The 17th-century German alchemist Hennig Brand collected 1,500 gallons of urine from beer-drinkers, then cooked and re-cooked it till it achieved the “consistency of honey.” Why? He thought his experiment would eventually yield large quantities of gold. It didn’t, of course. But along the way, he accidentally produced a substance of great value: phosphorus. It was the first time anyone had created a pure form of it. So in a sense, Brand “discovered” it. Today phosphorus is widely used in fertilizers, water treatment, steel production, detergents, and food processing.

I bring this to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I suspect you will soon have a metaphorically similar experience. Your attempt to create a beneficial new asset will not generate exactly what you wanted, but will nevertheless yield a useful result.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the documentary movie "Catfish," the directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, present a metaphor drawn from the fishing industry. They say that Asian suppliers used to put live codfish in tanks and send them to overseas markets. It was only upon arrival that the fish would be processed into food. But there was a prob-

lem: Because the cod were so sluggish during the long trips, their meat was mushy and tasteless. The solution? Add catfish to the tanks. That energized the cod and ultimately made them more flavorful.

Moral of the story, according to Joost and Schulman: Like the cod, humans need catfish-like companions to stimulate them and keep them sharp.

Do you have enough influences like that in your life, Leo? Now is a good time to make sure you do.

43

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The city of Boston allows an arts organization called Mass Poetry to stencil poems on sidewalks. The legal graffiti is done with a special paint that remains invisible until it gets wet. So if you’re a pedestrian trudging through the streets as it starts to rain, you may suddenly behold, emerging from the blank grey concrete, Langston Hughes’ poem “Still Here” or Fred Marchant’s “Pear Tree In Flower.” I foresee a metaphorically similar development in your life, Virgo: a pleasant and educational surprise arising unexpectedly out of the vacant blahs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): When he was in the rock band Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh took his time composing and recording new music. From 1978 to 1984, he and his collaborators averaged one album per year. But when Mothersbaugh started writing soundtracks for the weekly TV show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, his process went into overdrive. He typically wrote an entire show’s worth of music each Wednesday and recorded it each Thursday. I suspect you have that level of creative verve right now, Libra. Use it wisely! If you’re not an artist, channel it into the area of your life that most needs to be refreshed or reinvented.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many vintage American songs remain available today because of the pioneering musicologist, John Lomax. In the first half of the 20th century, he traveled widely to track down and record obscure cowboy ballads, folk songs, and traditional African American tunes.

“Home on the Range” was a prime example of his many discoveries. He learned that song, often referred to as “the anthem of the American West,” from a black saloonkeeper in Texas. I suggest we make Lomax a role model for you Scorpios during the coming weeks. It’s an excellent time to preserve and protect the parts of your past that are worth taking with you into the future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The mountain won’t come to you. It will not acquire the supernatural power to drag itself over to where you are, bend its craggy peak down to your level, and give you a free ride as it returns to its erect position. So what will you do? Moan and wail in frustration? Retreat into a knot of helpless indignation and sadness?

Please don’t. Instead, stop hoping for the mountain to do the impossible. Set off on a journey to the remote, majestic pinnacle with a fierce song in your determined heart. Pace yourself. Doggedly master the art of slow, incremental magic.

NEW TO BEND? NEW TO WORKING OUT? NEW CLUB?

30 DAYS* FOR $30 *CONSECUTIVE DAYS FOR NEW MEMBERS ONLY LOCAL RESIDENCE, 18 YEARS AND OLDER.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Who can run faster, a person or a horse? There’s evidence that under certain circumstances, a human can prevail.

In June of every year since 1980, the Man Versus Horse Marathon has taken place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. The route of the race weaves 22 miles through marsh, bogs, and hills. On two occasions, a human has outpaced all the horses. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns will have that level of animalistic power during the coming weeks. It may not take the form of foot speed, but it will be available as stamina, energy, vitality, and instinctual savvy.

Homework: Even if you don’t send it, write a letter to the person you admire most.

guessed that Aquarian Charles Darwin, the pioneering theorist of evolution, had a playful streak?

Once he placed a male flower’s pollen under a glass along with an unfertilized female flower to see if anything interesting would happen. “That’s a fool’s experiment,” he confessed to a colleague. “But I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them.”

Now would be an excellent time for you to consider trying some fools’ experiments of your own, Aquarius. I bet at least one of them will turn out to be both fun and productive.

ince Nov 5, the question I’ve been asked most often, and primarily in tones of anguish and fear: “What do you think Trump is going to do about cannabis?”

Now that we are a bit further along in this surreal, real life sequel to “Idiocracy,” let’s delve a little deeper. You may want to have the cannabis flower/ product of your choosing at hand, because it’s doubtful this is going to qualify as a feel-good piece.

First off, this is all speculation.

Among the many, many challenges Emperor Pussy Grabber presents is that he has zero consistency in his positions, so it’s difficult to extrapolate from his past ramblings a solid outlook on most any matter, including cannabis. But let’s try to work out what’s possible. #1: The Song Remains The Same Under this, states with medical and/or adult use programs would be allowed to continue as they have, with little to no interference from the Pumpkin Monster. Provided they stay within the boundaries laid out by the Cole memorandum—that game-changing document penned by an Obama Justice Department attorney saying that if States with adult use programs abide by several common sense requests, the Feds won’t take action.

Best-case scenario. #2: Mama Says Knock You Out Here, AG nominee Jeff “12-Years-aSlave- wasn’t-a-comedy?” Sessions unleashes an Alabama ass whuppin’ on cannabis businesses, resulting in widespread arrests, asset forfeiture and probably more than a few armed standoffs between law enforcement and growers who aren’t down for taking some stupid redneck’s shit.

Personally, this is my biggest fear and the worst-case scenario involving bloodshed and convictions for people growing plants. Thankfully, the resulting public backlash would probably make this the least likely option.

Scenario # 3: I Wanna Be Sedated Mister Microhands allows states to keep existing medical programs, but

shuts down adult use. Sadly, this is what I am betting on being most likely.

Fewer people have an issue with cannabis use for legit medical use than for “recreational,” and no, we don’t have enough space to debate if all cannabis use is medical. #4: Money (That’s What I Want) Captain Clueless realizes the most dangerous thing about cannabis is that the feds aren’t profiting off it enough and pushes to have a federal tax put in place on sales. That could serve to drive more consumers to the black market and place additional burdens upon the industry players who have abided by the ludicrous rules, regulations and fees imposed upon them by ill-informed state and city regulatory agencies. (Excepting Oregon.

Y’all are great, and I’m sure there are completely legitimate reasons for the fee structures in place, even if they are vastly out of sync with what you charge the alcohol industry. Probably because of all the cannabis related deaths, huh?

And because alcohol has been proven to be harmless? Yeah, that’s must be it.) #5 The Brother’s Gonna Work It Out “States Rights” is certainly a sword used for the justification of many federal-level decisions, but it’s possible it could be beaten into a plowshare for cannabis. There are billions in revenue that could be generated for numerous coffers with changes to tax codes, banking laws and rescheduling.

Besides, isn’t the GOP the party of fewer regulations and an undying belief in free market economics?

People are enjoying their (relatively) unfettered access to cannabis in so many states now that it may seem that it’s too late to change course, and that access is now a right, but I haven’t seen any of the nominees paraded in front of us sounding like they are in favor of people having beaucoup rights. If we are to overgrow the government, it’s going to take luck, hard work and industry-wide organization.
