here’s no doubt that this last month’s weather events have been frustrating for most people. For drivers, it’s meant getting stuck on rutted roads and sliding perilously close to parked cars on the daily commute. But that pales in comparison to the frustrations of local residents who walk, bike or use public transit to get around. As we reported in last week’s article, “Rider’s Luck,” people such as Jordan Ohlde, who has cerebral palsy and uses Cascade East Transit as his sole form of transport, are quite literally stuck at home when the snow piles up on the sidewalks and bus stops.

While we acknowledge that this season’s round of storms has been quite unusual, stories such as Ohlde’s are still deeply concerning—and it’s a problem that falls on all of us. If your sidewalks are not cleared by now, you are part of the problem. If you have a business without a cleared sidewalk by now, you are most definitely part of the problem—and likely, one that is affecting your business when people are unable to reach it on foot or in a wheelchair.

According to James Goff, code enforcement manager for the City of Bend, the City handed out 933 notices of violations of snow removal guidelines as of Jan. 30. Goff said: “Six citations were issued to businesses not in compliance, but were later voided at the request of our city manager’s office due to our extraordinary snow loads.” In case you’re curious, the fine for not shoveling your sidewalk is $200 in residential areas and $400 for all other zones.

Indeed, this has been an “extraordinary” year in terms of snow, and in

terms of snow removal, it’s been a monumental task for the City to stay on top of on the roads alone. It’s also been a difficult time for homeowners faced with the threat of leaking or collapsed roofs. We take all of this into consideration. Adding a fine on top of an already-difficult situation may seem like insult to injury, but we posit that it shouldn’t take a notice of violation—or even the threat of a fine—to move people to action at this point in the recovery. Business owners who fail to clear their sidewalks adequately—and that means adequately enough for a wheelchair to pass through—should be compelled by the simple fact that it’s the right thing to do.

While currently on a hiatus for the winter, the City of Bend and the Oregon Department of Transportation are in the midst of improvements on Third Street, to make them compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Surely we are not the only ones who find it ironic that currently, most parts of Third Street—even those parts already improved—are impassable for a person in a wheelchair. Even a surefooted person may find it difficult to walk from point A to B. While we venture to say that actually gathering those snow removal fines would add funds to a City budget that so clearly needs more dollars in its streets fund, we also believe that snow removal is just the right thing to do.

It’s not just about fines or the threat of getting one of those reminders from the City hung on your door. It’s about caring for the people who simply want a way to get to work and to contribute to our community. SW

OPINION Letters

IN RESPONSE TO, THE BULLETIN’S EDITORIAL ABOUT TROY FIELD.

OUR PUBLIC LANDS: LOOKING BACK, LOOKING AHEAD From the national level to the local level, it is a tumultuous time for our public lands. From the privatization threats that continue to plague our national parks and forests, to the fight over what the future looks like in our own backyard national forests, the future is full of uncertainty for our public lands. Not exempt from these issues is our own backyard forest; the Ochoco Mountains.

Last year, the Forest Service laid out its latest iteration of a long-standing plan for 135 miles of ATV trails through the heart of the Ochoco Mountains. Renowned for their solitude and scenery, this ATV proposal has sparked an unprecedented level of local and statewide opposition. State agencies, environmental groups, hunting and fishing organizations, and private citizens have weighed in in opposition and continue to fight for the wildlife, clean water, and quiet recreation within the Ochocos.

This public process, where competing uses and values are debated and balanced, is the heart of public lands and why they are important. After all, the Ochoco National Forest is owned by all Americans, and as part-owners, we all get to have a say in how they are managed.

Unfortunately, when it comes to our

The Bulletin chose to describe Troy Field as “an empty lot in downtown Bend, covered in grass.” Thousands of people would have to strongly disagree with their description. Troy Field has already been vetted and has been found to meet the criteria for historical sites.

Through 113 years of Bend’s growth and development, our community has come together on Troy Field for celebrations, significant events, athletics and entertainment.

It pre-dates the historic residential, the historic schools, and the historic churches.

The community field helped shape the downtown core. It has always been the location for the community and public.

The Bulletin says that “lovers of Troy Field” should just raise the money for Troy Field. Troy Field, as we have gradually found out, is wrapped up in politics and development ideas, which the public entities are centered around. This has made everything much more difficult and slow to accomplish things.

Since the majority of our citizens seem to be supporting Troy Field, Why aren’t the city officials listening to them? It is time to finally have Troy Field recognized historically and for it to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

—Julia Ohlson

public lands, too often the thumb is on the scale for activities like logging, mining, grazing, and energy development, over other values like public access, recreation, clean water, and wildlife. A message of increased extraction was exactly what the Bundy brothers and their armed brethren were preaching when they forcibly occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge last winter, denying by force that the American public had any claim to national public lands at all.

Last year, a Political Action Committee put forth a natural resource plan for the Ochoco National Forest and all other public land within Crook County. The plan sought to prioritize logging and extractive uses over clean water, wildlife, and low impact recreation. The plan was assembled by a closed committee without diverse stakeholder representation or public support. It is exactly the opposite of how good public lands decisions should be made.

We need to recognize that central Oregon’s sustainable economic engines are directly linked to our quality of life and recreational opportunities. It is time to reject efforts to return to the destructive logging practices of the last century.

Instead, we should be looking towards the future; a future that recognizes the importance of protecting water quality, wildlife, wildlife habitat, and quiet recreation.

The proposed Ochoco Mountains National Recreation Area would protect old growth, restore fish and wildlife habitat and maintain the public’s right to responsibly enjoy the Ochoco Mountains for generations to come. The Ochoco Mountains National Recreation Area proposal would balance fuels reduction, wildlife protection, and recreational opportunities.

The Ochocos are at a crossroads, and the path it takes is an important one. Will we choose to maintain the Ochocos as a place of solitude and beauty, or will it become a playground for motorized recreation and extractive industry, making our backyard more devoid of those truly wild places? With all the threats our public lands will face in the Trump administration, we will need to be vigilant in the defense of our public lands, including the Ochoco Mountains. The towering ponderosa pine forests, sparkling streams, and remarkable wildlife make the Ochoco Mountains one of the most magnificent places to visit in Oregon.

IN RESPONSE TO, RIDER’S LUCK (1/26) CET in conjunction with the City of Bend need to have two positions in their Maintenance/Public Works departments dedicated to clearing bus stops and the nearby sidewalks. The same guy who washes buses and does light maintenance in the bus garage should be paid more for this extra responsibility of shoveling snow and chipping ice off the pavement during storms. If clearing roads is a top priority for the safety of drivers, then so are sidewalks for the disabled, walking public, and bus passengers. The big question is always, “How to Pay For This?”

We have to educate the local public, especially in regards to Oregon’s resistance to sales tax. If Bend had a small sales tax dedicated to the transit system and other priorities then we would not have to worry about a citizen’s potential to access the bus, never mind ride the bus. Take a look at Washington, Colorado and other states to see how they fund their transit programs. I personally would prefer a small local sales tax to fund transit and make it better. Let the materialistic people who shop for crap pay for transit, and then reduce our income and property tax in proper proportional scale.

The bottom line will show higher revenue for public services.

A complex issue, the definition of 22,637 number of homeless children/youth enrolled homelessness encompasses those who have no in public school. permanent housing, whether sheltered or unsheltered— sleeping on streets, living out of cars, motels and campsites. The annual effort is twofold: to gather data to best assess the needs for state and federal funding and to address and identify those who are struggling to find affordable housing— a controversial and growing issue in Central Oregon. As part of a new series examining the housing crisis, we share stories from those currently affected. These are a few of Central Oregon’s homeless people.

46, Redmond Homeless for three years

“I was on a roofing job, shoveling snow off a middle school when all those roofs were collapsing, when I slid and fell. They didn’t give us a harness or anything to use, they were trying to save money I think, so when I fell, I broke my leg pretty badly. They’re trying to say I can’t get workman’s comp, but I’m going to fight for it. I can’t afford the hospital bill.

"As far as an income, a full time job, a roof over my head, I ain’t got that right now. I’m kinda hurtin’. It’s hard because before this fall I was just getting my life together. I had just started classes for engineering and drafting at COCC, ‘cause I know I want a better life for myself. If you don’t try, you won’t get anywhere.

I think we should have a right to work program for those of us who are struggling. The community has got to work together and have a partnership. An equal partnership between us and the community.because you don’t get anything if you don’t put equal parts in. It’s like a relationship (laughs), I learned that from my first marriage.

"I guess I’ll just continue to study, and try and go back at some point. It really is something I want to do. I’m not going to let this stop me. It’s not me. It’s not who I’m cut out to be.”

“I’ve been homeless for three years. I lost my place because it was $565 a month and overnight it went up to $850. I couldn’t afford it on a $733 income. I went looking for a camper, and got one for $3,000. I finally paid it off this past summer, but it doesn’t have sewer or water in it and I don’t have anywhere to park it. I had it in a trailer park and was using their water, which ended up having E. coli in it. I ended up in the hospital last September; my kidneys and liver tried to shut down. My body tried to feed itself on its own muscle. I was in there for two months, couldn’t walk at one point and now I have a $80,000 hospital bill.

I’m disabled. I have a sister, Jamie, who has three kids and is now homeless. (starts crying) It’s really sad. The people sold the house from under her. Now she can’t afford anything because of all the security deposits, $1,000 here, $1,000 there. How much is enough?

"The bad, sad part about it is that there isn’t enough resources in Redmond for people that are homeless. It’s really sad, people out there aren’t getting help.

Neighborhood Impact paid vouchers to CoEnergy so that people could stay warm and all of them are freezing out there because they keep saying they don’t have propane. It’s really sad. It’s a pretty hopeless situation, because we know we’re not going to get housing. There’s no housing. Who can afford three times the rent? I thought about moving out of the area. But I’m from here. Born and raised. I have kids your age and grandchildren. So why should I move?”

Things you can do to help: Donate— Funding critical resources is the number one way you can help to alleviate homelessness.

Advocate—Attend City Hall Meetings, Get Involved, Speak out. Educate.

Volunteer— Sign up to work an evening shift at your local homeless shelter. Answer phones, sort mail, serve food, wash dishes, distribute clothes, babysit kids, etc.

Empathize— Don’t give money directly to those panhandling, but give food, lend an ear and show respect. A five minute conversation can bring comfort in times of distress.

34, Bend Homeless for one year “I grew up in a place where you could easily get shot and robbed. It was a hard situation. So I know tough times and I can see when people give up and throw their lives away. I’ve seen it so many times. A lot of people don’t try, and it makes it harder on everybody else. They take advantage of the system and give us a bad rap. But I think it’s hard because once you’re down, it’s hard to get back up, you know? We sit together, when it’s cold and try and keep each other company out there in the camps, but I see a lot of people throwing their lives into a bottle or snorting stuff because they don’t have anything else. They don’t have hope. So, those things give them a tiny bit of joy.

"I think the (communities) in Bend and Redmond are trying, but I just don’t know if there’s any more housing? It doesn’t seem like it. The last year when I had an apartment, it went up $200 in one month. I mean, how are we supposed to afford that if we’re on a fixed income? You’re not even close to where you need to be. Everyone’s short on their bills. It’s gonna be a while before it gets better.

"It’s survival mode out here. Some people will survive, others will get swallowed up.”

“I’ve been here for over 50 years.

I’ve seen this area change a lot. It’s good in a way, but those who have been here are getting squeezed out.

The biggest problem I’ve seen, is that houses have gone up, they’ve been up for over a year and they are sitting empty. People want to rent, but can’t because it’s too high, and even if they could, they need first and last month’s rent. I stay at my mom’s in the winter and BLM (camping) the other times.

I live off of $52 a month, from food stamps. They cut it down. I applied for SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) but they turned it down.

That was after the VA had me in for an MRI which showed a 9 by 14 mm chunk off between the L4 and L5. I’m a human pinball machine if I step off the curb wrong. I don’t know which toes will work.

"I served in the U.S. Air Force. I gave SSDI access to all my VA paperwork but they said no. The VA turned me down because it’s not a VA-connected disability.

If I get my feet kicked out from underneath me again, it may take a month or so to get back up, but I’ll get back up. I’ve worked in the mills, throwing parts into hydrofluoric acid, I’ve done drywall, IBM mainframes before that, but then the Internet came around and wiped out that. I had to be re-trained and everything with that I have to use my back.

"I have a daughter and two grandkids that keep me going. I haven’t seen my grandbaby, but sometime soon. I might move to Monument, because I could work on my staffs there. I started carving because I was unable to move on the porch and someone brought me a stick. I can do it morning, noon and night. But I need a place to do it.

"When I’m back in the camps, it’s nice because we look out for each other. If someone’s gone missing, we try and find them. We try and control each other and keep it in check. It’s a neat group. You’re not judged.”

SIDENOTES By Nicole Vulcan Bend Streets Department Proposes Increases to Winter Operations Budget

Bend, Redmond Graduation Rates Increase According to data from the Oregon Department of Education released Jan. 26, graduation rates in both Bend and Redmond increased in 2016. Redmond School District’s on-time graduation rate went up 8.6 percent for the class of 2016, to 79.1 percent. In Bend-La Pine, the on-time graduation rate was 77.52 percent, up from 77.21 percent the previous year. Oregon’s average for 2016 was 74.83 percent, up from 73.82 the previous year.

“We are pleased with the recent jump in graduation rates,” said RSD Superintendent Mike McIntosh, “and at the same time acknowledge there is much work to be done in order to reach our goal of ensuring each student completes high school prepared for a successful future.”

Schools Get Option for Reprieve on Making Up Snow Days

Deadline Approaching for Open Bend-La Pine School Board Spot

On Jan. 26, the Oregon State Board of Education unanimously approved a temporary rule allowing school districts the option to apply for state permission to count up to 14 hours of emergency school closures as “missed instructional time.” Prior to a rule change in 2015, schools had long had that option.

“As a Board, we know that one of the keys to increasing our graduation rate is making sure students are in class as much as possible, which is why we have focused on strengthening instructional time expectations in recent years,” State Board Chair Charles R. Martinez, Jr. said in a Jan. 26 release. “But we also know some districts are running out of options to respond to the unprecedented weather events so far this year.

With this one-time, temporary action we have ensured that there is accountability by requiring a public hearing and written justification at the district level, coupled with approval at the state level on a case-by-case basis.” Bend-La Pine officials had previously indicated they would apply for an exception to instructional time rules.

The Bend-La Pine Schools Board of Directors is calling for applicants for its open Zone 7 board position, held

by Nori Juba since 2005. The current term—as yet unexpired—expires in June, so the new board member would serve until June 30. The appointee can choose to file for election for the next four years during the spring election cycle. The deadline for the current open spot is Feb. 9 by 4pm. Contact the Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent’s Office for details.

Meanwhile, the Oregon School Boards Association is urging candidates to run for school, Education Service District and community college boards across the state.

According to the Association, during the May 2015 election, the lowest number of candidates ran for Oregon school board seats in a decade, with nearly three-quarters of candidates running unopposed. OSBA launched its “Get on Board” campaign Jan. 26 in an effort to combat that trend.

As of Jan. 26, roughly 60 inches of snow had dropped on Central Oregon this winter. That’s far from the most the area has seen since records have been kept, but it’s still prompting City of Bend officials to consider some changes.

The City’s Streets Department is proposing an increase of $270,000 more in the City’s winter operations budget as a result, said City of Bend Communications Director Anne Aurand. Part of that proposal would include funds for hiring seasonal workers and tools to help citizens who request help removing snow.

“What that would mean is a couple of staff people would be able to jump in a pickup and go help shovel (or use a small plow) to assist vulnerable populations when there are access issues,” Aurand said, “and we’d have staff to better care for sidewalks that are our responsibility, such as around roundabouts or at underpasses.”

Should the proposal move forward, citizens would have a chance to give their input during budget committee meetings in the spring. As the

Source reported Jan. 26, December’s snowplowing efforts cost more than $328,000, according to Streets Director David Abbas. The City’s plowing budget for the entire season is $1.2 million.

MUSICAL— With one of the catchiest and most beautiful scores to come from Broadway in decades, Topsoil Theatrics does this powerful and important show justice. “Spring Awakening” begins its run at 2nd Street Theater then heads to the Belfry in Sisters for three shows before finishing at the Tower. // 7:30 pm, 2/2-2/4.

3pm, 2/5. 2nd Street Theater, 220 NE Lafayette Ave., Bend. $20.

ROCK LEGEND— Ace Frehley played with a little-known rock band called KISS. They apparently painted their faces and wiggled their tongues while wanting to “rock and roll all night and party every day.”

Seriously though, this guy is a legend and seeing him solo should be a treat for KISS fans of all ages. // 7pm. Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend. $59-$70.

Ace SOUND Space Rock legend Ace Frehley set to shred the Tower

By Jared Rasic trated with the direction in which the band’s sound was going and left before the recording of 1982’s “Killers” and “Creatures of the Night.” He went on to start Frehley’s Comet in 1984, releasing a self-titled debut in 1987.

Frehley rejoined KISS in 1996 for a reunion tour, which saw them release “Psycho Circus” in 1998 with them all back in full makeup.

Frehley once again resumed his solo career after leaving the band in 2000.

He released two more solo albums, 2009’s “Anomaly” and 2014’s “Space Invader,” the latter of which became the first solo album by a past or current KISS member to reach the top 10 in the U.S. His newest record is 2016’s “Origins, Vol. 1” which sees Frehley going neck-deep in cover songs, some to great effect. While “Magic Carpet Ride” and “Wild Thing” are fairly obvious choices, his guitar sparks just enough fire to keep them somewhat fresh. It’s with his covers of The Rolling Stones’ “Street Fighting Man,” Free’s “Fire and Water” (which sees him reunited with Paul Stanley) and

he first time I saw KISS on TV they scared the hell out of me—which might have been the point. They were sort of the boogeyman to me for many years and, even though the personas of The Starchild (Paul Stanley), The Demon (Gene Simmons), Space Ace (Ace Frehley) and The Catman (Peter Criss) aren’t inherently scary, they were still nightmare fuel. Maybe it was the spitting blood or my deep (and justified) mistrust of clowns, but man, I hated KISS. Eventually I started hearing KISS on the radio and, although Gene Simmons’ vocals didn’t do much for me, my high school self knew instantly that Ace Frehley could shred on the guitar. He played with the band from its inception in 1973 until departing in 1982. One of the more public instances of tension within the group was when the band showed up for an interview on Tom Snyder’s “The Tomorrow Show,” and Frehley, massively intoxicated, laughed and joked throughout the whole thing while an irritated Stanley and Simmons looked on.

Frehley eventually became frus-

Frehley was unavailable to chat with me before press time, but I like to imagine that he was nestled between a few groupies, ignoring the world. I’m sure he was busy touring and playing for adoring fans, but a man can dream. SW

cappella. Let’s face it— it tends to evoke squeaky-clean images of the television show “Glee,” featuring high school kids with tucked-in collared shirts, coiffed hair and toothy grins. Not so. Picture this instead: Bold beatboxing, genres from R&B to electronica and entrancing upbeat performances where it’s hard to distinguish the voice from a traditional instrument. Oh, and the energy.

“I do it because of the rush,” says singer Joshua Clifton. “The adrenaline is like nothing else.”

The a cappella scene has morphed a lot since its ancient religious roots.

One can wager that the complex vocal arrangements of a cappella rival the innovation from any current musical genre. You can witness these intricate harmonies, sans instruments, at the 2017 Bend A Cappella Festival, which brings together a thriving community of 120 participants from across the Pacific Northwest.

“I want to break the misconception that the voice is not an instrument,” says Clifton, 22, a second-year participant who will perform solo on the Friday night. “Not a lot of people think about the voice in that way, but it’s the hardest instrument to play.”

Clifton is both an a cappella singer and beat boxer and says last year’s festival was “Amazing... everybody was just so nice.” Clifton is looking forward to this year’s multifaceted program, featuring sing-off performances, competitions, master classes by renowned vocal coaches and a special concert by the headliners Naturally 7.

The group, originally from New York, is famous for the ability to mimic instrumental sound in an uncanny way.

If you were to have your eyes closed while listening to their rendition of “Fix You” by Coldplay, you would swear the group was accompanied by

an organ, keyboard, percussion and, perhaps mostly stunningly, an electric guitar. Skip the Youtube videos and witness their stupefying show live.

Festival director Katherine Schroeder says, “We are very excited about this year’s festival, which focuses on building a collaborative community of local musicians as well as teaching, bonding and competing in our small, friendly competition.” She continues, “We have a fantastic lineup of competitors and master class participants and we think everyone will enjoy hearing about our judges’ experiences and learning from their unique perspectives.” Judges include award-winning composer and co-founder of the a cappella supergroup The Bobs, Richard Bob Greene, singer-songwriter and teacher Angie Doctor and the tenor from the 2016 International Barbershop Quartet, Drew Wheaton.

Clifton, a student at Central Oregon Community College, acknowledges that the regional a cappella community is small, with the beatbox scene being even smaller. He hopes the festival will promote the community and help expand it. “Even though there’s a competition aspect to the festival, there’s a lot of love...everyone just wants to share their music and be heard.”

Concert goers can witness the special performances all weekend or choose from select performances. As for Clifton, his passion extends past the festival with an aim to earn his masters in music. “I want to teach vocal percussion and singing. More than that, I want to spread the artform and inspire others.” SW Bend A Cappella Festival

For practitioners of a faith focused heavily on meditation, these fighting monks know how to deliver a pulse pounding performance. From the hypnotic unity of Kung-fu choreography to the eye-popping drama of whirling weapons, the Shaolin Warriors promise a unique experience that packs the graceful but explosive action of a martial arts film into the intimate space of our own Tower Theatre.

The world today is full of distractions.

It’s loud and inescapable. There are very few of us who could drop everything and meditate on the precise simplicity of Tai chi or the perfect balance of a sword, and fewer still who would want to. The fast pace of mainstream life is compelling and strong.

The Shaolin Warriors remind us that this ancient knowledge is not lost to us, and there are still those who recognize the sacred in things such as repetition, pattern, effort and

n an increasingly modern world where flying robots deliver mail and everyone carries a tiny miraculous pocket computer, it can be easy to forget that there are still sacred mountains in the heart of China where people dedicate their lives to principled meditation and martial arts. The closest many of us have ever been to a real martial arts master is the front row of a Jackie Chan movie, so we’re far from a traditional world.

The Shaolin Warriors are here to show that these traditions are still alive and strong. Elite fighters in peak physical condition, trained from early childhood in an ancient Buddhist temple and devoted to millennia of tradition, the Shaolin Warriors sound like fantastical characters from an exotic action movie. Far from fictional, these incredible athletes are representatives of a profoundly dedicated and time-honored way of life that can be hard to imagine in our cozy little town of modern convenience.

"...the Shaolin Warriors have been touring since 1999, inspiring audiences with their uncanny strength and courage."

Upholding the Chan Buddhism principles and unique fighting techniques of the world-famous Shaolin Monastery, The Shaolin Warriors have been touring since 1999, inspiring international audiences with their uncanny strength and courage.

A SPOTLIGHT ON THE PEOPLE OF CENTRAL OREGON

John McLeod

ARTWATCH

by Howard Leff

Mt. Bachelor president and general manager

by Brian Jennings 23

Artist Megan Myers is finding inspiration in Central Oregon.

No End to the Innocence Cover artist Megan Myers’ artistic process

For John McLeod, it's been an elevating ride from the beaches of Australia to the slopes of Mt. Bachelor.

year has been a great privilege and it’s a great addition to the mountain,” he says. McLeod says the new lift has accomplished the company’s goals of providing disbursement of crowds while increasing access to the mountain. “It provides an alternative place to go when it’s windy on the Northwest side,” says McLeod.

With Bend’s continuing growth, McLeod says Mt. Bachelor should grow with it. He says the present lift capacity meets demand. He expects current modifications to the Rainbow lift to take pressure off the Summit lift.

With no urgent needs with lift

Biz is great! It's easy when there's snow. Everybody looks like a hero when there's snow." —JOHN MCLEOD As for this year, McLeod says, “Biz is great! It’s easy when there’s snow.

Everybody looks like a hero when there’s snow. We’re probably on pace for one of our best years if not the best year in the last 10.” McLeod also says the level of business at the present time demonstrates a “vote of confidence” in Mt. Bachelor’s $6 million investment in the new Cloudchaser lift, which greatly expanded the mountain’s intermediate runs.

“To be able to put in a new lift this

capacity, McLeod says his executive team is turning its attention to lodge capacity. “We don’t have enough lodge space for the kind of crowds that we’re consistently getting now over Christmas holiday or President’s weekend.”

Saying it’s hard to add additional square footage to present lodges, McLeod says there may be a re-configuration of existing lodges. “The master plan calls for a new lodge at the Sunrise base area, so I would hope to start the planning process for that and

have that as our next major project here. We’re doing a deep dive into lodging,” he says.

Will Mt. Bachelor ever have overnight accommodations? “I would love to see overnight accommodations,” he replies. Present regulations with the Forest Service and the Northwest Forest Plan prevent such development, but the issue has been discussed.

McLeod doesn’t foresee a major resort-like village at Mt. Bachelor. A hotel has been discussed from time to time, but is not in the current master plan. “But, at some point inevitably we’ll enter into discussions to see if that is possible with the Forest Service to see if we can put some kind of overnight accommodation or hotel here.”

McLeod says, “With lodging on the mountain, I think that would catapult Mt. Bachelor into the top-tier of well known, high-end ski destinations. I would love to see that happen someday. Whether that happens in my tenure or not remains to be seen.”

Longer term, McLeod also sees a possible need for a new—and third— access road from Bend and Sunriver to Mt. Bachelor, intersecting south of Bend from Highway 97, crossing the Deschutes River and connecting to Century Drive. SW

Bear. Child. Fire. Warmth. Nature.

And all of it, snugly wrapped in a comfortable canopy of innocence.

Local artist Megan Myers, who painted (yes, painted) this week’s Source cover, passionately described the central themes of her work on a cloudy winter day in Bend, where the color of the sky perfectly matches the one in her picture.

“It’s like the child in all of us that isn’t fearful of exploring and wearing their heart on their sleeve—before we all get a little jaded,” Myers says.

Much like her characters, Myers displays not a sliver of “jaded.” Not when it comes to her work or her new high desert surroundings. “I’m always trying to be extra observant,” she says. “I don’t take any of this for granted, what we have at our fingertips here. It’s like every direction you look, there’s something really stunning.”

She’s already done the Northwest big city thing. Seattle? Portland?

Yes, and yes. But it’s right here in Bend where her creativity’s currently blossoming: “There’s a whole new set of characters I’m developing that are more Central Oregon, like bighorn sheep and pronghorn and rattlesnakes. I think they’re so lovely because they sort of have to struggle to get by—and there’s a kind of beauty in that.”

Myers’ next big project? Illustrating a children’s book due out next year. “It’s like the perfect match,” she says, her innocent megawatt smile glowing ever brighter, lighting up a gray afternoon, not taking anything for granted. SW

ow does a native Australian become president and general manager of one of the largest ski resorts in the United States? If it hadn’t been for snow fields within driving distance of Sydney, John McLeod’s path may never have intersected with Bend.

McLeod grew up in the beach town of Coffs Harbour in New South Wales and attended university in Sydney. Up to then, he had never seen snow in his life. While working in Sydney in his early 20s, he joined a group of friends heading to the snow fields. Late that night, they stopped at a gas station.

It was snowing and McLeod was captured by the magic.

“I had plenty of beach growing up in my life. Not that I don’t like the beach but I really fell in love when I found the mountains and the snow and the sport of skiing,” McLeod says.

The next day he took a ski lesson and knew he had discovered a new passion. The next weekend he hopped in a car again and repeated the experience. By then he was hooked for life.

Later work experiences took him to Asia and Europe where he kept skiing.

Back in Sydney he met his wife, a Midwest American girl. They moved to Atlanta in 2001 where she was working with the Olympics. They started a family and in 2005, deciding they wanted an outdoor life, they set their sights on the Pacific Northwest.

“I wanted to be able to give that to the family and make that part of their lifestyle.” The family found Bend and Mt. Bachelor and moved in 2005.

He went to work as financial controller at Mt. Bachelor in October 2005. McLeod then worked four years as chief financial officer for Bend Research, eventually returning to Mt. Bachelor where he was appointed president and general manager in May 2016 after serving as interim general manager.

My Money Valentine

How to have a fun Valentine’s Day on the cheap

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 2, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

24

I

t can be hard to know exactly how far to go or how much money to spend on Valentine’s Day. Maybe you really like each other but promised to keep it casual. Maybe V-Day this year lands right in between paychecks, so you don’t quite have the money to go huge.

This week we’re taking a look at ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day without breaking the bank. Next week we’ll dive into ways you can blow a whole paycheck (or three) just to show you care. But we don’t just want to show you the best ways to have a modest Valentine’s Day, but also how to have one based on the kind of relationship you are (or aren’t) in.

Low-Key Couple You've been together for a couple of years and comfort has crept in. You used to be out at the bars getting rowdy, but now it’s more likely that you’ll both be curled up on the couch watching “Game of Thrones” than cage dancing at Seven.

Nothing says, "I love you," more than a two-screen streaming plan from your favorite movie database. With “Stranger Things” loaded in the queue, all you need is dinner, so come through the door with steaming boxes from A Taste of Thailand. Get sticky rice, fresh rolls, pumpkin curry and the red curry pineapple chicken all for well under $40. True love means not having to put your pants on for Valentine’s Day. Oh my!

Taste of Thailand 696 NE Greenwood Ave., Bend (541) 815-0180

Secret Broke Your partner wants to go out and have a night on the town, but you just don’t have the cash flow to drop on multiple $8 Long Island Iced Teas and possibly a cover charge somewhere, or spending a Benjamin for dinner. You care about each other, but do you know each other well enough to really know whether that person will be there when you’re dead broke? The struggle is real! Not to worry, we have your back.

Start the evening off at Sun Mountain Fun Center with a little miniature golf. At only $6.50 per 18-hole round, it’ll be two hours before your partner even notices they’re sober and hungry. Plus, that windmill is a mean old bastard, so you can drop a solid 30 minutes just on that hole.

Time for dinner? Perfect! How about a quick trip to Dandy’s Drive-In for a corndog ($2) and a Dandy Burger ($4.75). No, we don’t need it Deluxe, thank you very much!

You’ve done it! Several hours out together and you’ve spent under $30.

Sun Mountain Fun Center 300 NE Bend River Mall Dr., Bend (541) 382-6161 Dandy’s Drive-In 1334 NE 3rd St., Bend (541) 382-6141

Sexy Time You both work so much that scheduling an intimate evening together sounds like a treat. A gift you can give your partner that lets you BOTH win is a gift certificate to the Pretty Pussycat for whatever you can afford. Here’s the thing: you might know what your partner wants in the bedroom department, but the act of walking around together and actually searching for that perfect thing...well, that’s one hell of a treat.

Nothing says, "I love you," like finding out your partner has a nun fetish.

Now you have a car full of naughty trinkets and want to get home and unwrap your present, but the thought of delaying the pleasure just a little bit sounds too fun to pass up. So a quick dinner that won’t break the bank (well, you shouldn’t have spent $700 in the sex shop) is up next. How about one of Parrilla Grill’s famous margaritas ($5 glass or $20 pitcher) made with Lunazul Reposado tequila? If that’s a

little much, tall boys of PBR are $1, just as they’ve been since 2000. Follow that up with some fish tacos ($7.50) or maybe a falafel wrap ($7) and you’re off to the races.

Pretty Pussycat 1341 NE 3rd St., Bend (541) 317-3566 Parrilla Grill 635 NW 14th St., Bend (and a new location opening soon on Greenwood Ave.) 541 617-9600

When Craft Expands East

By Kevin Gifford

East Coast Beer enthusiasts sidle up to the Stone tasting room bar in Richmond.

I

t’s been nearly a year since Deschutes Brewery announced plans to break ground on a second beer production facility in Roanoke, Virginia by 2019.

With Black Butte, Sage Fight and the rest of the gang now available statewide, the locals are certainly excited for it. Around 22,000 people attended the company’s rolling outdoor Street Pub event back in August, which ain’t bad for a city with a population still under 100K. The move follows in the footsteps of several other large Western craft outfits establishing second (or third) locations outside the Pacific time zone in order to better serve the thirsty public at large. How are things shaping up for them? Let’s go down the list: Oskar Blues (Brevard, N.C./Austin, Texas) The North Carolina location, opened in 2012, is south of the beer mecca of Asheville and just a few minutes away from Pisgah National Forest, making it a key stopping point for mountain bikers in the area. The Austin one, on the other hand, is more of an urban affair, featuring a massive patio, music acts most days, and more cans of Dale’s Pale Ale than one could possibly count.

Sierra Nevada (Mills River, N.C.) Showing some of the hazards expanding breweries can face, Sierra Nevada recently had to recall an entire month’s

worth of beer output from Mills River due to defective glass bottles, a move affecting thousands of barrels’ worth of product. But that’s no reason to avoid a visit, considering the awe-inspiring forested views and the use of local produce like peaches in the local brew.

Stone (Richmond, Va.) Set on a huge old factory building overlooking the James River, San Diego based Stone has operated a low-key tasting room here for about a year, letting people scope out the 250-barrel brewing system and try out the collaborations they’ve done with Richmond’s (many) local breweries. A full outdoor restaurant and garden along the river is slated for a 2017 opening.

Lagunitas (Chicago, Ill./Charleston, S.C.) Chicago is home to Lagunitas’ largest production facility east of the Mississippi, but the California-based outfit has been opening smaller, more locally-oriented taprooms across the US as of late. The one in Charleston, itself built in a former brewery building, is a multi-floor industrial affair built in the middle of the historic district, a great place to unwind and stave off the heat.

The Petaluma brewery, half-owned

by Heineken International, has also opened a taproom in Seattle. SW

the best movie ever made, but as soon as Jovovich meets up with some boring survivors, they start “acting” and doing “dialogue” and everything becomes a ridiculous slog.

In spite of it being the sixth movie in the franchise, we still don’t know anything about Alice. We don’t care about her or understand any of her motivations other than wanting to bring down Umbrella. We do know that human life is so important to her that late in the film she orders a drawbridge (yep) to be lowered to let in one unknown human survivor being chased by 100,000 zombies.

Hundreds of the zombies get in and kill a bunch of Alice’s friends. The logic here is... confusing.

The special effects range from, “Eh, that was OK” to “Holy hell, this is the worst.” The acting is atrocious across

20th Century women is a small wonder

orothea Fields is a specific and contradictory type of free spirit.

Played by Annette Bening, Fields has a shrewd smile and an open heart, viewing the world as a giant ball of mystery. Her 15-year old son, Jamie (Lucas Jade Zumann), is in love with his best friend, the 17-year old Julie (Elle Fanning), who thinks they’re too close for sex.

Dorothea is renting out rooms in her dilapidated boardinghouse to a mellow and hurting handyman (Billy Crudup) and a punk/mod photographer (Greta Gerwig), both of whom are a little broken and desperate for real human connection. It’s the summer of 1979 in Santa Barbara, California.

Most of the events these characters go through aren’t life changing. “20th Century Women” isn’t a film about the moments in our lives that change us or

shape us into the people we will one day become. Instead, it’s about growing to know yourself with help from the people in your life, regardless of generational insecurities.

“20th Century Women” is Mike Mills’ third feature as writer/director, and he’s improved by leaps and bounds with each one. Mills’ films are always infused with moments of quiet power.

Thematically, “20th Century Women” does a good job laying ground about how three different generations of women react to and treat the men in their lives. Dorothea was raised in the Depression and desperately wants to understand her son, using Julie and her punk renter to try to reach him. She’s so afraid she’s failing her son that she empowers these very different women to be surrogate parents to him.

More importantly than the

the board and the "plots" are downright nonsensical at best. All of the action is shot with quick cutting and close-up framing, so the audience has no idea what they’re even looking at.

The most hilarious thing: the second act all takes place at night and is so dark that it’s impossible to tell which characters have even survived. You have to wait until they get to a lit room to see who’s still alive.

I walked out of this movie angry, giggling, stunned, numb, hungry and completely unsure that I had even just watched a motion picture. Will I see the next one? Absolutely. SW

thematic stuff are the performances, dialogue and characters. Mills creates such dynamic and original voices, and Bening, Crudup, Zumann, Fanning and Gerwig are so deep inside the skins of these characters that all you want to do is hang out with them.

There are multiple scenes in which they’re all simply sitting around having breakfast, and I realized I could watch a whole movie of them deciding between cereal and pancakes.

“20th Century Women” is a simple and beautiful film. It’s probably a little too long and rambles a bit in the third act, but it’s a deeply felt and wholly original look at life from one of Hollywood’s most welcome voices. So many films are disposable bits of nothingness, but Dorothea Fields and her friends and family are absolutely unforgettable. SW

’m not a fan of the term “guilty pleasures.” If something brings you pleasure and it’s not hurting anyone else, then be proud of the dumb stuff that you like. The “Resident Evil” franchise is a series of inherently terrible movies, but I’ve seen them all multiple times and there’s something almost comforting about how gracelessly stupid they are.

Milla Jovovich carries the entire franchise as Alice, a woman with amnesia awakening into a world of zombies, conspiracies and mustache twirling villains. In the original “Resident Evil,” she wakes up in a mansion above a giant underground research facility called The Hive, where an evil entity known as the Umbrella Corporation has engineered a zombie apocalypse.

Each movie sees Alice team up with characters from the video game series to fight an ever-escalating series of monsters and zombies. As terrible as they are, I still love these movies for how little they care about cinematic conventions like dialogue, story and structure. As long as Jovovich is jump-kicking a zombie dog through a window, I’m a happy Jared. I also think it’s important to support female led action/horror franchises.The first 15 minutes of “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter” is (no exaggeration) a dialogue-free exercise in Jovovich fighting a zombie dragon with a Claymore mine and killing Umbrella goons. I thought this was going to be

A DOG'S PURPOSE: While the film looks like the perfect drug for people looking to look at cute dogs for a couple of hours, videos of a dog trembling in fear on the set might turn off animal lovers. Also, since this is about a dog getting reincarnated a few times, it might be painful to watch him die over and over, “Marley and Me-”style.

Tumalo Creek’s winter offerings can help kayakers prep for the raging rivers ahead

paddler. Austin Bunn, our American Canoe Association-certified instructor, explained that the skirt keeps the kayak afloat by preventing water from pouring into the cockpit.

After the gear and video introduction, we headed to the heated pool at Juniper. Our first maneuver, the wet exit, required removal of the skirt while suspended upside down in the kayak. Intimidating at first, within minutes Bunn had us styling spray skirt pulls like professionals.

Next, we were on to concepts such as the “hip snap,” “centering over the boat” and “the rolling knee.” Bunn explained that when all these techniques were applied together, the result was a beautifully executed roll.

Many of the cues Bunn gave for body placement (i.e. looking at the paddle blade, hands curled back, elbows forward) emphasized shoulder safety.

Bunn went to great lengths to break down the movements resulting in the safest and most efficient kayak roll.

As the class progressed, I kept up and became reasonably proficient at many of the moves. By class end, I was ecstatic that I could roll my kayak upside down on command and hang out underwater for seemingly an eternity without panicking. Having a very attractive nose plug from TCKC made all the difference.

The best part of the class was when my father’s progress exceeded my own.

My dad, Douglas Collins, reflected: “It was fear conquering. First thing I’ll do on the next warm day is head out to Lost Lake and practice what I learned.

From now on, I’ll definitely wear a spray skirt if there is any chance of

rough water.”

Because it can be challenging to perfect a roll in one class, we opted for a special three-pack roll session, allowing for three back-to-back pool sessions and a discount on future courses such as Full Immersion or the Women’s White Water Weekend.

Alex Scagliotti, a former OSU-Cascades student, loved the course as much as we did. “The roll sessions were a great way to overcome the biggest obstacle to becoming a competent kayaker—learning how to roll your boat,” Scagliotti said. “During the class, students are able to meet others who are just getting into the sport and are able to build kayaking friend groups to go out and learn together with.”

When Dad and I walked into the

Brace & Roll Class, we didn’t even know what we didn’t know. After all, most of our paddle trips had been leisurely on the Deschutes and Tualatin rivers. Armed with the tools Bunn gave us, we’re now prepared for another paddle on the Columbia and who knows what else. Being ready for something epic is always a good thing, no matter how small the epic. Plus, I never thought I would get to try on skirts with my dad. SW Brace & Roll Classes

t all started last summer when my father proposed we paddle across the Columbia River at its leanest constriction, between Rowena and Lyle, to the mouth of the Klickitat River. He was in a kayak and I on a paddleboard. During the crossing the waves were manageable, even when considering what little cumulative experience in swift water we shared. After exploring the Klickitat for several hours, an afternoon gale kicked up the chop in the main channel. Though Dad was quite calm for the traverse, when we docked, each of us was shaken with the suggestion of capsizing.

Thankfully, Bend has a wintertime remedy for those seeking to gain kayak skills during the cold months: the Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe (TCKC) Brace & Roll Class at Juniper Swim & Fitness in Bend. The course is organized to teach students a series of dynamic body positions that when combined in a sequence allow the kayaker to roll through an inversion or capsized position and back to upright.

Dad and I signed up.

The three-hour course starts at TCKC where novices watch the informative “The Kayak Roll” video

by Kent Ford. They’re also introduced and fitted to an assortment of gear, everything from kayak and paddle to spray skirt.

Though the newbie might be surprised to hear a skirt is involved in paddling, this isn’t the pleated or pencil kind. Instead, the neoprene device snugly latches to a lip along the perimeter of the cockpit and simultaneously around the waist of the

The Oregon rock crawler

By Jim Anderson seen anything like it in any of the caves. It looked like it should have wings but there were none. I thought it was a beetle, but it lacked the necessary physical elements. It had six legs—not eight—so it wasn’t a spider.

I have to say I DO NOT enjoy collecting anything, always afraid of collecting the last of something, so I prefer to take photos. That day, however, I forgot to bring along my trusty 35mm Pentax.

I cut off and stuffed a part of my handkerchief in a vial, and with a pair of forceps I carefully captured the insect and placed it in the vial. The next day I placed the whole shebang in a box and shipped it off to Prof. Jack Lattin, who headed up the Entomology department at Oregon State.

I got a note back from Dr. Lattin thanking me profusely for the insect.

It turned out to be a Grylloblattid, aka the rockcrawler or ice cricket, and the

a note indicating that a man named Joseph Mark from the University of British Columbia wanted to know the whereabouts of the South Ice Cave to study the insect I’d found. Somehow, I was left out of the loop, but Coyner took Mark to the cave, told him all about the geology and history of it and gave him all the past weather records for that area.

Mark said he was going to try to reclassify the insect and returned with a pickup full of scientific instruments to record data inside the cave. He also intended to capture several more rock crawlers. Unfortunately, vandals entered the cave and swiped equipment from time to time.

Eventually, Mark had enough data and specimens to make his move, which was to use the findings of the scientific instruments to describe the insect’s South Ice Cave habitat, and to prove his thesis for his doctorate. Not long ago, OPB’s Oregon Field Guide had a program on Grylloblatids, but there was no mention of the South Ice Cave Ice crawler population, or of Joseph Mark.

If you go into South Ice looking for rock crawlers and you find one or two, please leave them be. Take photos until the cows come home, but don’t collect them for a “pet.” SW

ack in 1954 I was living in Bend and doing a lot of underground exploring with my dear caving partner, Phil Coyner. I can’t recall how he and I got to going into lava caves, but we were good at it. In fact, he and I were the first known human beings to go all the way to the very end of Lavacicle Cave near Pine Mountain in the Fort Rock District.

A firefighter who was working on the Aspen Butte Fire in the mid-’50s discovered the cave. He took us to the opening and on the way to the end, I found the skeleton of a river otter, probably left over from the times when there was a sprawling lake in the Fort Rock Basin.

The name “Lavacicle” was given to the lava tube (cave) in homage to the basalt stalactites and stalagmites found midway through the cave. Nothing like it had ever been found before to anyone’s knowledge.

It’s always a good idea to ask if the seller’s initial property disclosures were updated to reflect the findings of the inspection report.

Sometimes you can save time by trying to obtain through the listing realtor.

When a real estate sales agreement is prepared by a realtor, the form has a section for an inspection contingency. Most buyers choose to have a professional inspection completed by a licensed professional home inspector within this time period. Based upon the results of the home inspection report, the buyer then decides whether to move forward. Then buyers can submit a repair addendum requesting the seller to correct major items. Typically, sellers will repair major issues or credit the buyers.

In our current low inventory seller market, we are seeing more sellers refusing to do repairs. Buyers need to decide how important those repairs are and if they wish to proceed with the purchase, and to remember that they are still entitled to making an informed decision.

33 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 05 / February 2, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

n recent months, I have noticed more “as-is” sale transactions in which sellers are unwilling to make repairs. I have had two such unexpected experiences in the past month, both with homes on the market for more than seven months. This is a reflection of our current seller’s market.

So what does it mean for buyers? If the home is being sold “as-is,” it typically means the seller is not willing to put additional time or money in the house.

This doesn't mean it’s a bad deal or that they’re hiding something. Buyers can still make informed decisions by reading the seller’s property disclosure statement and getting a home inspection.

The seller is required to fill out that disclosure form on the condition of the house. This is helpful, but keep in mind that homeowners are not always aware of all issues. Furthermore, if the property is a foreclosure or new construction or sold by a government agency, the seller can file a disclaimer and choose not to disclose the info. The home might still be in great condition, but only a home inspector can say.

An important item to note: when a home has been on the market for an

ADVICE GODDESS Get Off My Yawn!

I’m a 61-year-old guy who’s been married four times. I love the security and acceptance of marriage, but after several years, either my wife du jour or I will get bored, and we’ll agree to move on. Clearly, I like being a husband, but I do a poor job of remaining one. Can I change that?

—Chairman Of The Bored So, you just want the security of marriage with all the excitement of dating somebody new — which is kind of like wanting a latex hood and ball gag that are also a comfy old pair of slippers.

Though, no, you can’t have it all, you might manage to have a good bit of it all — the security and the excitement — by bringing in the neurochemistry of the chase when you’re in the cuddly-wuddly long-term attachment stage. This probably sounds complicated, but it’s basically the brain version of how your freezer can serve as both an ice cube manufacturing area and a makeshift morgue for Squeaky the hamster, until you can give him a proper burial.

It turns out that the goo-goo-eyed “Granny and I are still so in luvvv!” and the bug-eyed “Wowee, that’s new and exciting!” can have some brain parts and neurochemicals in common. Social psychologist Arthur Aron and his colleagues did a brain imaging study of couples who were still passionately in love after being married for 10 to 29 years.

Surprisingly, the results looked a lot like their previous results on couples who’d just fallen madly in love, with intense activity in regions of the brain “associated with reward and motivation.”

The neurotransmitter dopamine is a central player in this reward circuitry.

Though dopamine is still widely known by its outdated nickname, the “pleasure chemical,” current research by neuroscientist

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 2, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Kent Berridge suggests that it doesn’t actually give you a buzz (as opioids in the brain do). It instead motivates you to do things that might — like eating cake, smoking a doob, and making moves on that girl with the hypno-hooters.

Dopamine-secreting neurons are especially on the alert for what researchers call “novel rewards” — any yummy, sexy, feel-good stuff you haven’t tried before. Neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz finds that “unpredictable rewards” may be even three or four times as exciting to us as those we’re used to.

The problem is, when there’s nothing new on the horizon, there’s no reason for your dopamine to get out of bed. In other words, there’s a neurochemical explanation for why your marriages often go dullsville.

But, there’s also good news: Aron and his colleagues note that “if partners experience excitement” from, say, “novel and challenging activities” that they do together, “this shared experience can reignite relationship passion by associating the excitement with the relationship.”

Obviously, these should be unanticipated good experiences — like alternating who plans date night and surprising each other with the week’s event — not having your spouse find you in bed with the cleaning lady. You might also try to delight your spouse with small unexpected gestures every day. Ultimately, you should find bringing in surprise much more fun than simply hoping the relationship won’t die — kind of like a paramedic just staring down at a heart attack victim: “Not lookin’ good, dude!

Hope you didn’t have any big weekend plans!”

ASTROLOGY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Love does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person,” wrote the poet Rilke, “for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished, and still incoherent?” That’s an excellent meditation for you to entertain during the Valentine season, Pisces.

You’re in the right frame of mind to think about how you could change and educate yourself so as to get the most out of your intimate alliances. Love “is a high inducement for the individual to ripen,” Rilke said, “to become something, to become a world for the sake of another person.” (Thanks to Stephen Mitchell for much of this translation.)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your reputation is in a state of fermentation. Will this process ultimately produce the metaphorical equivalent of fine wine or else something more like pungent cheese? The answer to that question will depend on how much integrity you express as you wield your clout. Be as charismatic as you dare, yes, but always in service to the greater good rather than to self-aggrandizement. You can accomplish wonders if you are saucy and classy, but you’ll spawn blunders if you’re saucy and bossy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Using a blend of warfare and diplomacy, Napoleon extended French control over much of Western Europe. In 1804, he decided to formalize his growing sovereignty with a coronation ceremony. He departed from tradition, however. For many centuries, French kings had been crowned by the Pope. But on this occasion, Napoleon took the imperial crown from Pope Pius VII and placed it on his own head. Historian David J. Markham writes that he “was simply symbolizing that he was becoming emperor based on his own merits and the will of the people, not because of some religious consecration.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Taurus, you have the right to perform a comparable gesture. Don’t wait for some authority to crown you. Crown yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have you heard the fable about the four blind men who come upon an elephant for the first time? The first man feels the tail and declares that the thing they’ve encountered must be a rope. The second touches one of the elephant’s legs and says that they are in the presence of a tree. The third strokes the trunk and assumes it’s a snake. Putting his hand on a tusk, the fourth man asserts that it’s a spear. I predict that this fable will NOT apply to you in the coming weeks, Gemini.

You won’t focus on just one aspect of the whole and think it’s the whole. Other people in your sphere may get fooled by shortsightedness, but you will see the big picture.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): For now, at least, your brain is your primary erogenous zone. I suspect it will be generating some of your sexiest thoughts ever. To be clear, not all of these erupting streams of bliss will directly involve the sweet, snaky mysteries of wrapping your physical body around another’s. Some of the erotic pleasure will come in the form of epiphanies that awaken sleeping parts of your soul. Others might arrive as revelations that chase away months’ worth of confusion.

Still others could be creative breakthroughs that liberate you from a form of bondage you’ve wrongly accepted as necessary.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Human beings upload

300 hours of videos to Youtube every minute of every day. Among that swirling flow is a hefty amount of footage devoted exclusively to the amusing behavior of cats. Researchers estimate there are now more than two million clips of feline shenanigans.

Despite the stiff competition, I suspect there’s a much better chance than usual that your cat video will go viral if you upload it in the coming weeks.

Why? In general, you Leos now have a sixth sense about how to get noticed. You know what you need to do to express yourself confidently and attract attention -- not just in regards to your cats, but anything that’s important to you.

35 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 05 / February 2, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The time is now, Brave Aquarius. Be audacious about improving the big little things in your life. (That’s not a typo.

I did indeed use the term “big little things.”) For example: Seek out or demand more engaging responsibilities. Bring your penetrating questions to sphinx-like authorities. Go in search of more useful riddles. Redesign the daily rhythm to better meet your unique needs. Refuse “necessary” boredom that’s not truly necessary. Trust what actually works, not what’s merely attractive. Does all that seem too bold and brazen for you to pull off? I assure you that it’s not. You have more clout than you imagine. You also have a growing faith in your own power to make subtle fundamental shifts. (That’s not a typo. I did indeed use the term “subtle fundamental shifts.”)

LIVE MUSIC

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I know you haven’t literally been wrestling and wrangling with a sweaty angel. But if I were going to tell a fairy tale about your life lately, I’d be tempted to say this: Your rumble with the sweaty angel is not finished. In fact, the best and holiest part is still to come. But right now you have cosmic permission to take a short break and rest a while. During the lull, ratchet up your determination to learn all you can from your friendly “struggle.” Try to figure out what you’ve been missing about the true nature of the sweaty angel. Vow to become a stronger advocate for yourself and a more rigorous revealer of the wild truth.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Even if you’re not an occult wizard or pagan priestess, I suspect you now have the power to conjure benevolent love spells.

There’s a caveat, however: They will only work if you cast them on yourself. Flinging them at other people would backfire. But if you do accept that limitation, you’ll be able to invoke a big dose of romantic mojo from both your lower depths and your higher self. Inspiration will be abundantly available as you work to reinvigorate your approach to intimacy and togetherness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Here’s some advice from Scorpio writer Norman Rush: “The main effort of arranging your life should be to progressively reduce the amount of time required to decently maintain yourself so that you can have all the time you want for reading.” It’s understandable that a language specialist like Rush would make the final word of the previous sentence “reading.” But you might choose a different word. And I invite you to do just that. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to devotedly carve out more time to do The Most Important Thing in Your Life.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sixteenth-century Italian painter Titian was renowned for his brilliant use of color. He was also prolific, versatile, and influential. In 2011, one of his paintings sold for $16.9 million. But one of his contemporaries, the incomparable Michelangelo, said that Titian could have been an even greater artist if he had ever mastered the art of drawing. It seems that Titian skipped a step in his early development. Is there any way that your path resembles Titian’s, Sagittarius? Did you neglect to cultivate a basic skill that has subtly (or not so subtly) handicapped your growth ever since? If so, the coming weeks and months will be an excellent time to fix the glitch.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Our obsessive use of digital devices has diminished our power to focus. According to a study by Microsoft, the average human attention span has shrunk to eight seconds -- one second less than that of a typical goldfish. I’m guessing, though, that you Capricorns will buck this trend in the coming weeks. Your ability to concentrate may be exceptional even by pre-Internet standards. I hope you’ll take opportunity of this fortunate anomaly to get a lot of important work and play done.

he other night I was puffing on one of my vaporizers and working on a piece on the history of vaporization. The stories go back millennia, to the Middle East and a nomadic tribe known as Scythians: fierce tattooed warriors often credited for expanding the use of cannabis throughout Russia, Europe, Central Asia and the Mediterranean. They’re a fascinating people aside from the connection to cannabis, as they had a form of gender equality that in many cases we are still working to achieve now. (Insert shooting star “The More You Know PSA here…)

Their connection to vaporization was rooted in rituals honoring their departed leaders. They would purify themselves by tossing stalks of flowering hemp onto beds of coals in enclosed structures similar to yurts, which released vapor clouds of THC. How did that work out?

Pretty great, according to a man named Herodotus, who in approximately 450 B.C, wrote: “...when, therefore, the Scythians have taken some seed of this hemp, they creep under the cloths and put these seeds on the red hot stones; but this being put on smoke, and produces such a steam, that no Grecian vapour-bath would surpass it. The Scythians, transported by the vapour, shout aloud.”

For years, I assumed that was about it for creative vaporization methods, save for a homemade woodburner vaporizer I tried in the 90s.

But in the 1960s and 70s, there was a man who took vaporization to a new level. He’s a long time music industry player based in the South, and one night, he told me this story, which was confirmed by an old friend of his who was also there. And as cool as it is, I’m emphatically imploring you NOT to try this at home.

This gentleman, who we will call the O.G., lived above a record store in the South. This was during the time that the vast majority of cannabis available came from Mexico. It wasn’t what you would consider a “top shelf ” dispensary grade offering. To ease the

smuggling of the flower, it was pressed into thick slabs, compressed to the point that pulling off enough to roll a few joints required the use of a knife, with the chunks that came off having the density of a dwarf star.

O.G. would have parties inviting his cannabis-friendly friends over in the late evening. Once people were inside, they would make some interesting pre-party modifications to the dwelling. All of the windows were covered up with thick sheets of plastic and the edges taped over. Towels were rolled and stuffed under the door cracks. Many toasters were brought out and plugged in throughout the house. (Again—and I can’t emphasize this enough, people: Do not try this at home. This is a scenario that causes firefighters’ nightmares.)

The bricks of weed were dissected with surgical precision, resulting in stacks of identical toast-sized pieces of weed. Seeds were removed as much as possible without compromising the integrity of the slabs.

The toasters were turned onto the lowest setting, with each one getting two chunks placed within. As the toaster heated up, so did the slabs of weed, letting off a slow cloud of vapor.

When the weed started to smolder or smoke, it was removed and two new pieces of soon-to-be weed toast dropped in.

The vapor would fill the semi-airtight room, and after an hour of this, there would be less attention paid to the timing of toast swapping, resulting in an occasional piece bursting into flames and adding some real burning smoke to the mix. By that time, visibility was greatly reduced, as was anyone’s interest or ability to leave or do much more than grin. About the time the sun was coming up, the plastic was taken down, and very, very, stoned guests emerged.

The low cost of the Mexican brick weed made it economically feasible, with each party costing the O.G. about $50. Plus a new round of toasters, which ran more than the cannabis.
