LETTERS

~Dave Stalker

BENDITES DON’T WALK Reading the pamphlet, one is led to believe that we are an active outdoor culture, but we’re conspicuously uncomfortable with pedestrians. If I stand at roadside waiting for a chance to cross the street, somebody will stop for me.

This holds in almost any situation, no matter the danger and regardless of whether or not it will save me time. It’s insipid. People get weak in the knees for the poor beleaguered soul on foot. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just one of those cultural peculiarities that cannot be explained.

But it is conspicuous. ~Steve Edwards

OCCUPIERS DON’T SPEAK FOR HAMMONDS Now that the armed occupation in Harney County is seemingly ending, I would like to make a point that unfortunately has been overlooked. That is the persecution by the government of Steve and Dwight Hammond, who were resentenced for an alleged arson in which a fire spread off their land, in this case to government land, which is a common occurrence with controlled burns. It happens with fires set by the BLM and Forest Service regularly.

To this observer, after reading the court’s summary, the government’s case against the Hammonds is shaky.

LIGHTMETER

5 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 05 / February 4, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

As events unfolded on the Malheur Wildlife Refuge, Congressman Greg Walden alternately tried to duck for cover over his position by espousing a peaceful end to the standoff, while at the same time making it clear that he supports dismantling of the federal protections of public lands (as the terrorists did). Yes, he wanted a peaceful end to the standoff, but he also would support the takeover of those lands by private industrialists like the Koch Brothers, who bankroll his office in Congress.

[Editor’s note: Congressman Walden was a recipient of $11,000 from Koch Industries in 2014.] In fact, the mills no longer exist to recreate the logging industry of the 1950s and 60s.

The Kochs would like to conduct extractive mineral mining, widespread logging and more and be laughing all the way to the bank, at taxpayer expense. Walden is a failure. His job is to represent ALL the voters of his district, not just the disenchanted fringe who detest the government and have tried to use force to advance their agenda. Congressmen Walden needs to be voted out of office, and we can do that in November. We all deserve better.

The resentencing of the Hammonds smacks of double jeopardy, and raises the question of fairness of [mandatory minimum sentences] in the first place. The Hammonds need defenders. This has been made all but impossible with the focus of attention being on the Bundyites and their occupation. In addition, many people have assumed an identity between the Hammonds and the Bundyites. This is false.

The Hammonds have insisted that the occupiers do not speak for them.

This case poses a serious threat to civil liberties. The Hammonds should be freed. There is a petition for their clemency, which I urge defenders of civil liberties to sign. It is savethehammonds.com and is sponsored by the Oregon Farm Bureau, among others. ~George H. Johnson

IN RESPONSE TO “BARELY GETTING BY” (1/28) The minimum wage issue is very tough. It’s a really difficult situation. The corporations control the country, the government, and for all practical purposes, the world. Everyone else has basically been disenfranchised.

The prevailing attitude in this country is “I’ve got mine, so leave me alone.” Most people in this country actually believe that people who are on the street are there because “they want to be [and] that is the lifestyle they have chosen.” And, most people in this country who have never experienced homelessness look at the issues of affordable housing and homelessness as issues that are unsolvable, even though a lot of other nations around the world have addressed these issues successfully.

The bottom line is that these issues are direct offshoots of the capitalistic system combined with a democratic system where both are controlled and dominated by the corporations and the rich. They go on and on about “free markets” when anyone proposes any kind of regulation to make the system more equitable to those on the lower end of the economic totem pole. The truth is, the markets are not free and the corporations and rich who have almost total control over them know this explicitly. And then people get dissatisfied with the government and turn to “saviors” like Trump and Clinton, and the myth keeps being perpetuated. Is there any help for it? That is the question. ~Marco Munez

IN RESPONSE TO “GETTING OFF OF COAL” (1/28) Thank you for editorializing positively on the legislative effort to get Oregon off of coal power, the Clean Electricity and Coal Transi-

tion bill (House Bill 4036). It requires Pacific Power and Portland General Electric to stop serving coal-fired electricity to Oregonians by 2030. In addition, the bill doubles the state’s renewable energy standard to 50 percent.

Coal is a major source of greenhouse gas pollution for Oregon, about 25 percent of our carbon footprint. Pacific Power, which serves Bend, Redmond, Prineville and Madras, gets more than 60 percent of electricity from burning coal. That doesn’t line up with the values of folks in Deschutes County. HB 4036 replaces polluting power with cleaner energy -- like wind and solar. Doubling Oregon’s renewable energy will also create economic opportunities, like good-paying jobs building solar power in the high desert.

Clean energy advocates, the large utilities, and the state’s consumer protection group in charge of protecting ratepayers -- Citizens’ Utility Board--all support the Clean Electricity and Coal Transition plan. It cuts pollution, grows clean energy, and ensures reliable, affordable electricity for Oregonians. It’s a winwin-win.

In addition, this legislation re-affirms Oregon’s commitment to energy efficiency, creates opportunity for more electric vehicle infrastructure and increases access to solar power for more Oregonians at home, even if they can’t install panels themselves. Now it’s up to lawmakers. I encourage anyone who supports HB 4036 to contact your representative and sena-

tor. Let them know you want clean electricity for Oregon. ~Brad Reed

LETTER OF THE WEEK Brad – Let’s hope 2016 sees forward-thinking Oregon lawmakers coming together to pass legislation that gets coal out of our power mix, even if it will take 14 years to do it. Thanks for the new bill number and call to action to our local representatives including Knute Buehler (R-Bend), for Oregon House District 54, and Tim Knopp, (R- Bend), Oregon Senate District 27.

local father counts a half-dozen teen suicides in recent memory in the Bend-La Pine Schools, at both the middle school and high school levels.

Classmates, parents, teachers, and the families of the deceased will never forget these students, and it underscores a dire situation. Cuts to counseling services in our school district that happened during the recession have not been reinstated.

Enrollment continues to climb and today we have more than 17,000 students in the Bend-La Pine Schools, but just 22 counselors.

“We are seeing a rise in severe mental health needs over the last six years,” says Rayne Cedergreen, a counselor at Bend High School. She says the counselors are seeing more depression, anxiety, bullying, and social-emotional learning problems. The counselors are stretched very thin, she says, with a ratio of one counselor for 700 students at Pilot Butte Middle School, and one to 440 at Bend High, where she is a counselor.

The national recommendation is one counselor per 250 students.

“Right now, we are advocating for more counselors in the district,” says Cedergreen. “When it comes to funding there are a lot of priorities,” she notes. “We want to keep the conversation positive, but address that since the recession, when counselors were cut, this is one of the areas very slow to be refunded,” she says.

“What we know,” says Cedergreen, “is that when we widen the gap in the ratio of counselors to students, our most

Counseling Crisis in Bend - La Pine Schools at-risk population is the most affected.”

This includes students living in poverty, English as a second language (ESL) students and special education and services students. In the Bend-La Pine Administrative District, one in 25 students was homeless in the 2014/2015 school year, according to data collected by the Oregon Department of Education.

“These students and families are not able to afford $130 per hour for private counseling,” says Cedergreen.

“We’ve requested to create a team for planning,” says Cedergreen, who adds that Oregon legislation [OAR 581022-1510] requires by law that districts provide a coordinated comprehensive guidance and counseling program to support each and every student. “We don’t have that right now,” she says.

“Our proposal includes all counselors working together in a strong support system,” she says.

As a first step, the counselors in the district have come together to request $15,000 to research the problem and create a model that is in line with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommendations. This request will come up for review in the next few months. During the spring, the Board of Directors will work with volunteers on the Bend-La Pine Schools Budget Committee, meeting several times to work on the budget. We urge the School Board and Budget Committee to support Bend-La Pine school counselors.

Speak Your Peace

Event helps open up communication in Sisters

SIDE NOTES

reg Bretzing, the special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon, released a statement on the use of deadly force and issued an update on the situation at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. As of Jan. 28, the FBI believes that four people are still occupying the refuge. Checkpoints were established around the refuge and the FBI encountered nine people leaving the refuge, arrested three and released six. Bretzing addressed the incident involving LaVoy Finicum when Oregon State Police officers used deadly force and Finicum was killed. Bretzing said, “The Deschutes County Major Incident team is conducting the outside review of the shooting per Oregon State law and established protocols.” In the video, Finicum steps out of the truck and Bretzing says he reaches for the inside of his jacket twice. Finicum is then shot

by OSP troopers and had a loaded semi-automatic 9-millimeter handgun in his pocket. Bretzing says the unedited video is available on the FBI’s YouTube channel in the “interest of transparency.”

Robyn Holdman, president of the Citizens4Community nonprofit, says the event was planned to encourage open and civil dialogue within the Sisters community and the turnout and participation exceeded her expectations. “We were humbled and inspired and hopeful by the response,” she says. “The way the people just wanted to officially and with permission talk about some of the problems we face as a community, to figure out where was it that our communication broke down to this place of polarization.”

For the Speak Your Peace event, Rob Karwath, president and CEO of North Coast Communications in Duluth, Minnesota, served as a guest speaker. He has been involved with the Civility Project since 2003. “Speak Your Peace is a tool to bring more heads to the game--whatever the game or need is--by working to enhance the level of civility in the discussion,” he says. Karwath met with several citizens, volunteers, elected officials and nonprofit and organizational leaders in Sisters—he says around 500 people total.

“We did a session with the staff of the U.S. Forest Service, which has such a big impact in the region and really wants to serve the region. A number of issues seem to end up involving or ultimately coming before the Forest Service.”

Council President Nancy Connelly was elected to the Sisters City Council in 2014 and was sworn in last January and says one of the biggest issues has been the proposed bike trail. “I think we’re just much more open to public process,” she says, adding that Council asked the Forest Service to look at the proposal once more to open up the process again.

Mayor Frye also says the bike trail has been one of the hot topic issues in the community. “For people to understand, I think they have to understand that Sisters is an absolutely amazing place. It’s small, and people are passionate about some things that they care deeply about and sometimes that passion can boil

over,” he says, “and it has in certain circumstances, from issues with the roundabouts, to the proposed bike trail from here to Black Butte, to several issues.”

that they can at least come to the table and talk and have someone be respectful of their ideas and opinions.”

Holdman says she recognized a difference in the conversations taking place as Karwath talked about the issues. “You could feel the relief in the room, you could see it almost as people had that ability to talk about something they just gossiped about.” Speak Your Peace has nine tenants of civility and has been used in dozens of communities around the country. From paying attention, listening and showing respect to not gossiping and being agreeable, these rules are used to encourage civil dialogue to address issues communities experience.

Mayor Frye says the rules are simple and believes applying them will be beneficial.

“We’re talking first grade rules basically: treat each other with respect, treat each other how you want to be treated, and sometimes that gets lost when people’s passions get involved,” he says. The communication climate has “led to a lot of pressure on staff as well as council members,” Frye adds. “We get a lot of it, we get the brunt of it and we’ve had high turnover. We’ve lost a couple employees at staff level of the city and a major contributing factor was this issue and the stress that it put on them.”

“As I’ve talked to people who have lived in Sisters for 10, 20, 30 years, they say that the tone of communication over the last two to three years has become much more disrespectful and uncivil,” Holdman says. As the President of Citizens4Community, she says the organization’s goal “is to create a safe platform to build off of, to then improve our ability to improve our businesses, our economic environment, our societal issues.” She adds, “You can’t be creative and effective in development efforts unless people feel comfortable

The rules haven’t officially been adopted but Councilor Connolly says, “One of our goals this year is to have more public process and more adoption of the Speak your Peace.” The Sisters City Council has not finalized its goals, but will take a look at council priorities at the upcoming council meeting on Thursday.

Mayor Frye added, “This lack of civility has made it very difficult because people are afraid to put themselves out there to express themselves, and my hope is that this will help us.”

Two freshmen were arrested at Oregon State University after the Oregon State Police conducted a drug investigation on the Corvallis campus. The Oregon State Police received information regarding illegal drug activity on campus. Gobind Singh Olleck and McIntyre Marcelo Santa Cruz, both 18, were arrested after a search warrant at Poling Hall was served. Both were arrested for manufacture of marijuana and conspiracy, possession of marijuana by a person under 21 years of age and delivery of Marijuana. According to the Oregon State Police, the half-pound of marijuana seized has a street value of $400.

Both students are restricted from campus until further notice and the matter is fully investigated and concluded, according to an OSU employee.

A new report on minimum wage has been released by the Oregon Employment Department. In 2015, five percent of workers in Oregon earned minimum wage or less. Two pages of the report list workers who are exempt from state and federal minimum wage. State Employment Economist Nick Beleiciks says taxi cab operators, students, outside sales workers and ski patrols are just some of the occupations that are “not subject to the state minimum wage and overtime requirements,” according to the report. Since 1990, the lowest-paid workers' real wages have been stagnant.

People participated in discussion groups in order to help solve the problems the community has been experiencing.

A RIVER USED TO RUN THROUGH IT WaterWatch sues irrigation districts over Oregon spotted frog habitat damage

By Corinne Boyer

9

In 2014, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) listed the Oregon spotted frog as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Deschutes, Lane, Klamath, Jackson, Wasco and Josephine counties are places where the spotted frog habitat potentially occurs.

The spotted frog is native to the Pacific Northwest and is the most aquatic frog in the region—it spends most of its life in water, according to Oregon Fish and Wildlife.

On Jan. 11, WaterWatch of Oregon, a nonprofit conservation organization, filed a complaint against the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Central Oregon Irrigation District, North Unit Irrigation District and the Tumalo Irrigation District, under the Endangered Species Act which states that 90—but possibly 99 percent—of the spotted frogs’ habitat was unusable and dry because of dam operations, which left water levels low in just the main channels. Sediment deposits also hindered the frogs’ habitat by preventing the natural water flow

from reaching its surroundings and by trapping the frog

when water conditions are altered.

species in Oregon’s Deschutes Basin.”

WaterWatch Communications Director Jim McCarthy says the organization spent eight years as part of a group trying to address river issues around the river basin including the stretch between the Wickiup and Bend. “When you treat the river like an irrigation ditch, it causes real harm to fish, aquatic insects, and water quality, not just the frogs,” he says.

“We’ve seen fish kills up the river as a result of these operations, so not only is this affecting the frogs, but it’s killing trout and other native spices that are dependent on the river system.”

Shon Rae, with the Central Oregon Irrigation District says, “The lawsuit is taking funding resources and staff away from working on the Habitat Conservation Plan and other necessary conservation projects to do this litigation.” The group has been working to establish the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan since 2008 and has received $2.6 million in grants from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. When the plan is complete, projected for 2018, it will make recommendations as to what will help the frogs’ habitat. Rae says the districts will give their proposals to USFW, but that will take a couple of years. “It's not just in our hands,” she says. “WaterWatch is one of the agencies that has been at the collaborative table in this process. That doesn’t seem collaborative,” says Rae.

Jannette Brimmer is an attorney for Earthjustice and is also an attorney for WaterWatch in this case. She says the Bureau of Land Reclamation knew about the issues with spotted frog habitat before the suit was filed. “The problem with frogs being in trouble has been on the table for a very long time,” she says. “I know that in 2003 the Bureau of Reclamation was doing a consultation of biological opinion at that time for what the affects of the operations of the dams and reservoirs system was on a number of different species that were already listed in the system.”

The Deschutes Basin Board of Control, which includes the Tumalo, North Unit and Central irrigation districts, released a statement responding to the lawsuit over the spotted frog: “This is the second lawsuit filed over the Oregon spotted frog, further straining collaborative efforts by irrigation districts, local farmers and ranchers, state and federal agencies and conservation groups to improve habitat for this

A draft of the plan will go to USFW and National Marine Fisheries in order that the agencies can review

the plan in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act Review and then a public comment period will occur. Once the final copy of the plan is drafted and approved, USFW issues an incidental take permit. According to the USFW Endangered Species Permits page, “Thus, permit holders can proceed with an activity that is legal in all other respects, but that results in the ‘incidental’ taking of a listed species.”

McCarthy says WaterWatch is asking for river flows to be returned to levels that don’t harm frogs. “We’re not asking for the dams to be removed or the flows to be returned to the predevelopment state,” he says. “We’re asking

for a science-based process to make that determination as required by law under the Endangered Species Act.” McCarthy adds there is no law preventing rivers from being run dry in Oregon unless

the absence of water is affecting a protected area or an endangered species.

This is not going to be a popular move in Central Oregon.

“If environmental groups genuinely want to preserve habitat for the spotted frog,” Martin Richards of Madras writes, “they would contribute their support, expertise and financial resources to the progress we have already made to conserve water and protect species.”

Irrigated agriculture in Central Oregon requires access to water.

Richards’ letter gives voice to the fear of losing water that is a real concern for local farmers and ranchers. “We are already feeling the impact of the lawsuits,” Richards says. “Now is the time when farmers and ranchers need to decide what crops to plant, purchase inputs for the coming season and invest in improvements to our businesses…the negative effect is beginning to ripple through the economy and the workforce.”

As to the reason for the lack of water protection laws, WaterWatch attorney Brimmer says, “Your guess is as good as mine.” She adds, “Part of the problem is the law hasn’t caught up with our scientific understanding of how things are connected. It’s not just that stream that you’re running dry, there’s that whole cascade of effects that comes from that,” she says.

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 05 / February 4, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

“I

n Oregon, rivers and streams belong to the public, but no law stops private water users from completely draining a stream. It is often perfectly legal to take the last drops from a river, and our state agencies do little to correct, or even document the problem,” according to WaterWatch’s Rivers Without Water, Oregon’s Unnatural Disaster publication.

omething borrowed. Something blue. Wear white. Cut off the drunk best-man speech.

Throw the bouquet, toss the garter. These are all things that have come to be expected at every wedding. Who says it has to be done this way or that way? What about the couple’s way? Some couples have pressure from their families to marry in a church or to wed in the same venue as their parents. It doesn’t have to be like that. A wedding is a celebration of love and a commitment officiated before a group of relatives and friends, plus a little bit of paperwork. That pretty much sums up the requirements of a legal wedding: Love. Witnesses. Legal forms. Wedding officiate. Those are le-must-haves. Everything else is optional.

Two Central Oregon couples who chose to celebrate their respective wedding days in their own way are proof of that. Katie Daisy remembers seeing a photo of what she describes to be, “the most

magical treehouse nestled in the pines.” When she and Elijah Goodall began to plan their special day, Katie began doing research on the earthy location and the idea of having a treehouse wedding. When it started to become more of a doable reality they jumped at the chance. “It was a no-brainer for us that our small wedding would be held in the trees,” says Daisy. The ceremony itself took place below the treehouse, where moss clung to tall branches while ferns, rooted in the ground created a path of natural direction. The guest list was an intimate number and when rain made a tardy RSVP, Daisy claims that it only made the ceremony, “even more beautiful.” This is what they wanted, this is what they had planned for and their wedding was, in a sense, them.

What made Katie and Elijah’s day so special is that it is what they wanted. It was the first dates, the late nights talking, the first kisses, the first feelings of

falling in love and the daily work they both put in to make their union theirs.

Amy Mitchell and Henry Abel had almost that exact same wedding, except it was completely different. Neither bride nor groom wanted an elaborate wedding. “I wanted to elope, but Amy didn’t want to get married at City Hall and neither of us [were] looking for a wedding at a church,” says Henry.

After 12 years together, this is a couple who knows what works for them. Date night at Baskin-Robbins had become something of a norm for the pair and what started off as a joke began to really make sense to them: Have their wedding at the very place where they began to fall in love, Baskin-Robbins.

It made sense to them and that’s all they needed. The couple wanted it to be a surprise for the guests, who thought they were along for dessert, but it turned out they were to be a part of something much sweeter, a pop-up wedding.

WEDDING CAKES

The art of the cake

13 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 05 / February 4, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

By Sherron Lumley

A

dream wedding is not complete without a spectacular cake. Luckily for couples in Central Oregon, there are very experienced and talented wedding cake artists in town.

SWEET & SWANKY CAKES Sonja McLean, owner of Sweet and Swanky Cakes in Bend, is an artist first and a bit of a world celebrity. Her third cake went viral on Pinterest and she has been featured in Bride Magazine and publications in Europe and even Russia. She says her cakes are for the bride when the cake is important to them and they are of the spirit, “I can’t wait for my cake.”

“I’ve developed a reputation,” she says. “I don’t eat, I don’t sleep, I breathe your wedding cake.

I think about it a lot, a lot, a lot. The wedding cake tells me how she wants to come to life as I’m making her,” says McLean. “It’s such a beautiful experience. You’re getting a piece of my soul and it shows in my cake. My cakes have personality.

They reflect the couple.”

“I work very differently than other businesses. My brides don’t get to see their wedding cake until their wedding day. I sit down for two hours with my bride and she tells me everything about her wedding. I get to know my bride and everything about them. I love it. It brings me joy.” McLean works closely with the bride and says she may text a random question at 11 p.m. We work together, bond and build a relationship.” With this level of commitment, McLean keeps her schedule to four cakes per month. She loves it when the brides and grooms cry when they see their cakes.

Sweet and Swanky wedding cakes start at one thousand dollars. This is the minimum for the custom cakes. Beyond that, she allows the couple to set the price. “I won’t design something out of your price range,” she says.

McLean likes to have six months or more in advance of the wedding to begin. Her custom, hand-tailored wedding cakes include sugar flowers that are created petal by petal. “They take hours to make,” she says, and they last forever, so they are also a keepsake.

She also offers a buttercream option with no customization for $7 per serving. These cakes, like the custom cakes, are made from scratch.

For those curious about the craft, McLean recommends Craftsy, an online school for the arts, which recruits the world’s best to film making a craft. In 2015 she was filmed as a Craftsy instructor on Dramatic Cake Design. “I made it my dream and it happened,” she says.

THE CAKE LADY “It’s art work,” says Linda Hickman, founder of

the nature of a cake is that from the time it comes out of the oven, a cake starts drying out. “I don’t know how many people would say, ‘Yum.’ We recommend a light, light frosting to seal it so it doesn’t dry out,” she says.

Cake Lady cakes start at $3.25 per slice. This is for cakes with buttercream frosting made with real butter, and whipped so that it is not as sweet, she says.

The Cake Lady, in business in Bend for 39 years.

She and DeAnna Kinsey are the cake ladies. Hickman was born just on the other side of Prineville and attended Oregon State to become a teacher.

She wanted a business that she could do while taking care of a child at home, and in 1966, she began making wedding cakes.

In Hickman’s 50 years of experience, she has seen several trends come and go. “The tradition has changed from the big white cake with lemon filling and lots of frosting,” she says. “We went from only white to then every flavor under the sun but white, and now we’re back to white cakes.”

In the past, cakes were separated, but now, she says, the cakes sit one on top of the other. Cakes that are textured with burlap and wood are in at the moment. “We’re doing burlap flowers, and twigs wrapped around each tier with the cake raised on a piece of wood from the base of a tree.

Requests for naked cakes, those without frosting, do come in from time to time, but Hickman notes

“We find out what the bride wants and make it even better. We do our utmost,” says Hickman.

“We don’t mess around. These are top quality.”

FOXTAIL BAKERY “The trend for summer of 2016 is Bo-ho,” says Nickol Hayden-Cody, owner of Foxtail Bakery in Bend. “That means texture and earth tones, ribbons and geos, which look like crystals, rocks and gems, such as amethyst, but are edible and made from sugar,” she explains. Hayden-Cody also sees a big trend right now in cakes with metallic design, such as gold, bronze and copper. Naked cake requests are not uncommon and they can be either entirely without icing or a romantic naked cake, which has some cake showing through, she says.

Foxtail likes to have eight months to one year, and has a medium price range of $500 to $1,000 for wedding cakes. Hayden-Cody works with the bride and groom, reviewing sketches and building upon what the bride and groom would like. She says cakes are “so personal now.”

P

interest is a bride-to-be’s goto for wedding ideas. Hours could be spent scrolling, swiping, and pinning the perfect dress, the most extravagant of bouquets and the loveliest locations.

There are countless magazines to ponder during the preproduction stage of this special day: The Knot Magazine, Bridal Guide Magazine, Gay Weddings Magazine and Modern Wedding Magazine, just to name a few. When the research gets overwhelming, there are professional planners available who have done all this research many times over, ready to assist soon-to-be-weds with the many decisions.

Abby Elvebak, creator of ae creative, has more than four years in the business and can boast of an award from Oregon Bride Magazine in 2014. She knows a little about what makes a big day shine. One of the surprising trends is, “being a guest at your own wedding,” says Elvebak. This really is becoming a new thing. For centuries, at least in America, the couple hosted the event, guiding distant relatives and long-lost friends through a structured event. Though this hasn’t necessarily changed, being a guest is also completely doable and totally encouraged. “This is your party,” insists Elvebak, “Enjoy it!”

“Unplugged weddings” are a necessary trend that many can get behind.

the event. Just don’t go waving it around like an electronic pervert.

More likely than not, a professional photographer has been hired to capture the event. Nobody wants to see an iPad sticking out of the aisle, Grandma. “Having a cute sign [at the entrance] is a polite way of reminding everyone to just enjoy the moment,” says Elvebak.

Photo booths are a fun and problem-solving addition to any ceremony. Not only does it align with having an “unplugged wedding,” but “…it is also another activity for guests to have aside from just the dancefloor,” says Elvebak, “or the bar.” She adds that this could double as part of a wedding memento for the attendees. Lawn games are also a great way to entertain Uncle Frank until he’s limber enough to bust a move on the dancefloor, because trends and traditions aside, no wedding party’s complete until someone’s spouse walks away mortified.

Probably one of the biggest trends in weddings recently is just not following the norm. Many traditions are being cast aside in order for the couple to express their love the way they see fit. After all, this is for them. “I think it's extra special when the [couple] have built or made something…something about being hands-on that creates a more personal day,” says Elvebak. Whatever that special something is, whether it's rap vows, a pet bearing the rings or a venue that means something to just the two of them, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. This is meant to be a day for the couple, a party for the future and a celebration and declaration of love.

Bohemian Vogue

By Corinne Boyer

his year has been deemed the year of the fashion wedding, according to Harper’s Bazaar.

Paige Tapia, the owner of the Bridal Suite in Bend, with her daughter Brittany, says the shop has seen a lot of bohemian-style wedding dresses.

“It’s a broad group, but we’ve seen mostly vintage lace, lightweight, and something you would want to wear outside,” she says. Tapia says she’s sold many dresses with low backs or dresses with some type of illusion fabric showing more of a back.

Dresses with sleeves are also becoming popular.

Before buying a dress, shoppers should know that it takes anywhere from four to seven months before the dress is ready to wear. Tapia says for those purchasing a dress from the rack, the alterations usually take about four months, but when ordering a custom-made gown, it can take several more months. “The typical

dress takes four months, and the average cost of a wedding dress in the U.S. is around $1,700,” she says.

In Bend, she says the average bridal gown costs between $1,100 and $1,300. She adds that shopping at the Bridal Suite is a very personalized experience. She says they’ve worked with brides wanting dresses in every color from blue and pink to brown as well as custom orders such as kimonos. The shop has large dressing rooms designed to accommodate up to four people or if the bride-to-be would rather surprise her entourage, Tapia says there’s also plenty of seating space in the store. The Bridal Suite does on-site alterations and carries bridesmaids' dresses, tuxedos, prom dresses and flower girl dresses, too. “We sit down and talk about the wedding, colors, and we really get to know our brides before we start with the experience,” she says.

With the band's funky/jazzy New Orleans sound, combined with the hundreds of different beers to choose from either on tap or in the bottle shop, this should be a dance party to remember.

JASON CHINCHEN Bend native and member of such diverse bands as Trailer 31, Juniper & Gin and Second Son, Jason Chinchen steps out on his own for some simple oneon-one time. His songs are personal and pure, as he reaches out to find connection in this small town centered in a massive world. Thursday, Feb. 4., 6 p.m., The Lot, 745 NW Columbia St., Bend.

No cover.

Husband and wife, Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn, take their show on the road for the first time.

Abigail Washburn is a clawhammer banjo player. The clawhammer banjo is primarily a down-picking styled banjo as compared to the up AND down style of the classic banjo, which gives her solo sound a backcountry Appalachian vibe but with a modern vocal style.

dance in Nashville where she was dancing and he was performing. By 2007, they were dating and in 2010, they were married. In 2013, their first child was born and they decided to start making music together professionally to “keep the family together.”

Bela Fleck is considered one of the most innovative banjo players on the planet.

His work with the Flecktones was jazzy and bluegrassy, whereas his output with Chick Corea was propulsive and dizzying as their banjo and piano dueled one another.

Their 2014 album, “Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn,” combines their two sounds to create something unlike either has done before. With the song, “Railroad,” they mashup oldtime traditionals while classing up the joint immensely. Washburn’s voice is lovely without embellishment and their picking together creates something one could define as Newgrass, but there is a breadth and depth to the sound that shouldn’t be underestimated.

Although the banjo is primarily thought of as a bluegrass instrument, Fleck has never been content to lounge about in one genre for too long.

Washburn and Fleck met at a square

Their 2015 EP, “Banjo Banjo,” has a couple new tracks and some live recordings

of tracks from their self-titled debut, but the real find on here is a cover of Europe’s “The Final Countdown.” There is a musicianship to it that gives the original a bit of respect it could sorely use.

Washburn and Fleck live will be a virtuosic display of banjo shenanigans. Those expecting just simply bluegrass will be disappointed, as their sound is something altogether more expansive and exciting.

As solo acts and in their older groups, they were always fun to listen to, but together they are impeccable.

Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn Feb. 11, 7 p.m.

Tower Theatre, 835 NW Wall St., Bend $52-$69

LEIF JAMES Leif James brings his trademark raspy growl to First Friday as he shreds some nasty blues for the wine and coffee drinking crowd.

Gangstagrass Preview

Bluegrass meets hip-hop at the 2016 Oregon WinterFest

By Angela Moore

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 4, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

20

Watch Gangstagrass combine authentic bluegrass and rap to create a whole new genre at the 2016 Oregon WinterFest.

T

he word “gangsta” and the word “grass” are pretty common, especially nowadays. Put those words together, though, and Gangstagrass is more than a portmanteau of street slang; it describes something very unusual and unique. Gangstagrass is a sixpiece group that combines the rhythmic rhymes of hip-hop with the twang of bluegrass into one must-hear sound.

This may seem like an odd combination, and it is, but like a lot of great music, it started with the urge to hear something new. Frankly, it’s such a curious mix that it’s totally worth checking out.

TICKETS AT

What started out as a musical experiment in 2006 soon grew to make sense to creator Rench, who not only plays guitar in the group, but also does the beats and vocals. In fact, the majority of the group both sings and plays an instrument. Dan Whitener plays banjo and is on vocals. Melody Berger gets

down via fiddle and also sings. Landry McMeans plays the dobro (pretty cool) and also lends his voice to the cause.

Dolio The Slueth and R-Son The Voice of Reason round out Ganstagrass with their vocals as well.

Rench introduced his creation to the masses through any upcoming artist’s best friend: The Internet. Soon the group developed a loyal following with popular hits like, “Long Hard Times to Come,” “Gunslinging Rambler” and “Western” which features the always-entertaining verbal mastermind Kool Keith. He is not the only one to make a guest appearance on a Gangstagrass album. Dead Prez and T.O.N.E-z have also been known to lend some vocals to the cause. Many artists are willing to make their contribution as Rench is a presence in the Brooklyn music scene as a hip-hop and country music producer. It’s fitting that the two

genres he is so familiar with would lead him to creating one of his own.

Although the bluegrass and hip-hop combination may seem odd, Rench points out that, “There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cash on their iPod playlist than you think.” That’s actually a very good point. The only real way to come to a decision is to check them out. The group is set to play at the 2016 Oregon WinterFest, a stop on their multi-state tour spanning from Alaska to West Virginia. Showtime for these guys is 8:30 p.m. Friday.

A6 opens new studio and gallery

A

6, also known as Atelier 6000, opened in its new space on Industrial Way in January and the finishing touches to the open gallery and studio space are still underway. Dawn Boone, executive director, oversees the exhibits, art education, art history and workshops at A6. She’s looking forward to the colossal interior doors and skylights that are arriving soon for the creative space.

artists in Japan began embracing western inks, while others rejected that and continued to use vegetable dyes, which are very fragile,” says Boone. “We are going to have careful safeguards, including heavy black curtains, to protect the art,” says Boone. “It’s an honor to be

Boone stands next to a large blue wheel that catches the eye between the forward gallery area and the aft studio. The press is central to A6’s focus on book arts and printmaking, including monotypes, etching and collagraphs, which are a result of ink or pigment applied to a collage.

A6 is an active studio with 20 local artists who create and show work, along with visiting artists, workshops, school programs and curated exhibits. It’s also a favorite First Friday stop known for monthly exhibits with tremendous variety. On Feb. 5, artist Dawn Emerson will demonstrate how the press is used during the gallery’s First Friday event. A selection of her work will be on display behind the press.

Boone will soon begin curating an upcoming show featuring three centuries of Japanese prints to open later in 2016.

This show, from a private collector, is a rare opportunity to see work from Japan that straddles a time when the country opened its doors to the west. “Some

tend to get isolated,” says Boone. There is no application process, but artists need to be self-sufficient, she says.

A juried exhibit, “Mt. Bachelorisms,” will go up Feb. 5 to 28. Every artist in the show has rendered Mt. Bachelor in a particular style or –ism, such as cubism, impressionism or minimalism.

Bill Hoppe of COCC is the juror for the exhibit of all-original work.

On March 16, Robert Motherwell will be the guest speaker at A6’s Cheers to Art, which takes place on the third Wednesday of each month. It’s an evening of art history and wine, beginning at 7 p.m. No RSVP is required and the cost is $10 per person.

In April, “Sediments, Sequences and Solitude: Work from Playa,” will open. This show features work from Playa’s artist residency program in Summer Lake, Ore.

entrusted with these works,” she adds.

The show will be in partnership with One Breath Poets, Deschutes Public Library and the Central Oregon Community College Visiting Scholars program.

The 2,000 square feet that A6 occupies is intended to be very inclusive and to this end, artists are able to join and use the space for $80 per month. “Artists

A6 also provides art education to elementary students through a handson component where students get to ink and press prints to learn about the process. The program is provided for free to rural school students who often must travel a long distance to come to the studio.

Visit Atelier6000.org for more information about classes, exhibits and art education.

“The show is wonderful every year because of the quality of local art and the diversity,” says Zeta Seiple, chair of the art committee and treasurer of Friends of the Sisters Library. “Every year is better than the year before,” she says. The show is an opportunity to experience art work of many media, including photography, oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, print, scratch board, wood cut, encaustic, linotype, collage, jewelry, sculpture and pottery.

The artist bios provide insight about their work that is just as fascinating as the art. Conrad Weiler, an artist with three pieces in the show, including the painting, “A Walk in the Forest,” is a Korean War veteran and retired college biology teacher. “Immersing myself in the beauty and complexity of life through art is teaching me to see at a much deeper level,” he writes.

Jim Horsely’s “Poncho and Red Cinder,” a 12” x 9” oil of two small donkeys, was completed in support of Harmony Farm’s efforts to connect rescued animals with disadvantaged children. His painting is one with a red dot next to it, indicating it has sold, with proceeds from the sale to go to the farm.

The art ranges in price from under $100 up to several thousand dollars. Some of the art is unusual and fun, such as Marcia Wells’ functional folk art in the form of three lazy Susans. “Miss Robin,” a reduction linotype by Robin Thomas, is delightful and Greg Waddel’s entry of “Sunset School,” is a stunning photograph. On display in the foyer are smaller pieces, including beautiful sterling jewelry by Mary Jospeha Weiss, a handmade book by Kelly Salber and sea glass jewelry by Joyce Burk Brown. Elegant ceramic vases by Peter Roussel and James Noble’s exquisite Blue Stain Bowl series are must-sees. The show continues through the month of February.

Bad Wolf Rising

Brunch doesn’t have to wait until Sunday anymore

A

simple loft-style eatery that offers not so simple tastes, Bad Wolf Bakery and Bistro is a family-owned and operated establishment born late November in 2014 on NW Wall Street.

This café-style bakery and bistro is known for its unique interpretations of classic breakfast and lunch plates, as well as cocktails, coffees and homemade pastries. Eggs Benedict, but with a bacon and avocado version? On a scone? What?

Insane. Order two.

The dining area, although cozy, offers a variety of seats making breakfast for two just as available as brunch for six. The menu is seasonal and the ingredients are as locally sourced as possible. Each table

is equipped with utensils and an interactive area near the entrance allows for easy access to meal and cocktail menus as well as self-serve water and condiments.

Ordering is done at the counter, which allows for an opportunity to pick out something sweet for later after eating something savory. In not-too-long, a smiling server will deliver the order.

The staff is genuinely friendly and seems to want to produce a pleasant product and experience. Co-owner Breezie Dueber sites her family’s (and co-owners) love for hospitality to be the driving force in hand-selecting those they hire to represent their brainchild. “We are really into taking care of people,” says Dueber.

Boasting Bad Wolf ’s welcoming environment is to be topped only by the tastes created in the kitchen. Making noises that could easily pass as sensual, Kopal apologizes for the auditory erotica, claiming them to be involuntary, “I’m a verbal eater.” Her dining companion sits unfazed as discussion of licking the plate is briefly and seriously considered.

Just as Bend continues to grow and make its mark in the world, Bad Wolf has also evolved to what it is today. Having started off serving dinner, the Duebers honed their talents and scratched the final meal of the day from their offerings to put

Chef Bette (CB): “People are using heritage dishes from their backgrounds and in conjunction with regional foods. For example, many brides from the region like to incorporate Pacific Northwest cuisine. Another new trend is offering a specialty ingredient, such as specialty salts. We use Jacobsen Salt Company from Oregon, which has specialty salts such as pinot noir salt and vanilla bean salt. There are various fun ways to make a dish a signature dish. Another growing trend is creating a food experience with guests participating in an interactive experience, such as build-your-own tacos or a crostini bar. New young brides want things to be very different from what their parents had.”

ample, we don’t use tomatoes in winter, which would come from out of state.”

SW: “What are the catering price ranges to anticipate when planning?”

CB: “The price stays consistent throughout the seasons and ranges from 20 to 30 dollars per person. This is separate from the bar, cake and rental costs.

It’s important to have a tasting and to make sure everything is in the contract, so the bride and groom understand what the expenses are. They can manage the catering budget by managing the headcount.”

SW: “How important is presentation with wedding catering and what are brides interested in right now?”

CB: “Presentation is everything. People eat with their eyes first. There are some different ways that people may be seated, such as long-wide tables, U-shaped tables and S-shaped tables. Some brides choose for the food to be served family style, with dishes placed on the table.”

SW: “Looking forward, are there any trends on the horizon that are just beginning?”

SW: “Could you describe your passion for fresh, local, organic, seasonal and sustainable?”

CB: “One of the newest trends is donuts and there are very creative ways to display them. Craft cocktails are sweeping the nation and moving into weddings, too. Also, naked cakes, which are cakes without frosting are becoming popular.”

CB: “This is the whole basis of our business. We make it a point to buy from farms and ranches in the area. Some brides are requesting to use food from Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). We only cook seasonally. For ex-

Chef Bette adds that a lot of brides are looking to brunches, which are increasingly popular, opting for delicious breakfast food served with champagne.

It can be a cost-saver, but it depends on the menu and what the couple wants.

he PDX Taproom (pdxtap.com) is certainly impressive in its dedication to its chosen theme. Cans and bottles from breweries across Oregon line the window-side bar, overlooking what is otherwise a laid-back residential neighborhood. On one side of the bar, a TV plays video of Portland-area hotspots such as Saturday Market, Multnomah Falls, and Deschutes Brewery’s Pearl District taproom. There is even a framed piece of the old carpet from Portland International Airport on the wall. However, the real surprise is that PDX Taproom isn’t in Portland, or Oregon, or even on this continent. It’s in Tokyo, nearly 5,000 miles away from Bend.

Hiramatsu went on to work for the Japanese division of Portland’s Columbia Sportswear for many years, helping to launch several company stores in the nation, but her love for Oregon beer never waned. That much is clear when you visit PDX Taproom, which offers ten taps of nothing but beer from the region—no small feat when you have to import all of it across the Pacific Ocean.

Rogue has always had a large presence in Asia, but thanks to new distributors like Sapporo-based Oregon Beer Geeks, offerings from breweries like Laurelwood, Coalition, The Commons, and even Bend’s own Worthy and Deschutes are starting to appear in beer bars across Japan.

“I went to Portland for the first time when I was studying abroad during high school,” says Miyuki Hiramatsu, who opened up the cozy bar in the Shibuya district of Japan’s capital last fall. “During that time, my host family offered me the first beer I ever had, which happened to be Full Sail’s pale ale. It really left an impression on me, in how it tasted and in how beer was such a big thing in general over there.

Whenever I went back to Portland on business afterward, it always seemed like beer was such an important part of the culture,” she says.

Beer is just part of the package at PDX Taproom, as Hiramatsu explains over a 700-yen glass of Breakside IPA ($5.60 in U.S. dollars). “I’ve tried to make this an open and inviting kind of place, not like your typical bar,” she says. “A lot of the clientele here are people from overseas or those who’ve visited Oregon before, but Portland is starting to be well known here as a hip place for food and fashion. Beer is part of the lifestyle there, and so through this taproom, I want to offer both good beer and a taste of the Oregon experience.”

Freedom’s Just Another Word “Mustang” asks important questions

By Jared Rasic

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / February 4, 2016 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

34

A

group of boys and girls play in the sea. They eventually start playing a game of chicken where the girls sit on the boys’ shoulders and try to knock one another off. When the girls return home, their grandmother starts swatting them and disciplining them for being obscene. A nosy neighbor told the grandmother that the girls were inappropriately rubbing their genitals on the boys’ shoulders and necks to receive sexual gratification. An innocent game of chicken creates the entire conflict for one of the most powerful films of the year.

“Mustang” could not have been released at a more perfect time, not just in terms of Academy Award recognition or box office, but in what the film is saying to the world at a time when it is ready to listen. Every year there is a foreign film or two that really connects with American audiences that deals with one of the big three: race, gender or historical events seen through the eyes of the oppressed.

"Mustang" tackles gender, specifically sexism in relation to a culture that views women through a much narrower lens than we do in America.

Whether or not we like to believe it, there is still systemic racism and sexism in America, not just in the rural South as some like to believe, but in Hollywood and all across the blue states. However, when that sexism is cultural or religious in nature, the hurdles to surmount that oppression seem almost insurmountable.

“Mustang” takes a look at five sisters growing up in a rural Turkish village.

The young women were orphaned at a young age and raised by their loving but old-fashioned grandmother and their downright evil uncle. After being accused of obscenity by the neighbor, the girls are pulled out of school and never allowed to leave the house except to go to the doctor’s office to make sure they are all still virgins. If they are not still virgins, then

they will never find a husband according to custom and marrying these girls off becomes the grandmother and uncle’s primary goal once the girls are forced to abandon their education.

Each of the five young women are fundamentally different in almost every regard.

This gives the audience the ability to see five separate futures with five different outcomes for the young women as their worth is equated to childbearing. Most of the women from this village never get out. They are subjected to arranged marriages and their futures are whatever their husbands decide.

Lale is the youngest of the sisters and she doesn’t remotely accept what this culture expects from her. None of the young women really do, but Lale is young enough to exist outside of the influence of her elders. Güneş Şensoy gives a nuanced and fascinating performance as Lale. Her defiant and questioning eyes

FEATURED FILM EVENTS

are windows into the future of these rural women. She won’t live in a society that places so little value on their lives. Those eyes gave me hope for their future.

“Mustang” is brutal, while also being poignant, bittersweet and heartbreaking. Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s direction is flawless. She keeps the camera moving and fluid, yet frames everything fairly classically, keeping the entire film feeling intimate and immediate. This is easily one of the best films of the year and likely to be one of the top two choices for Best Foreign Film at this year’s Oscar ceremony. Experiencing “Mustang” makes our first world problems pale in comparison.

Until equality is achieved everywhere, we haven’t achieved much of anything at all.

BendFilm presents films about Doug Tompkins’ travels to Patagonia and his attempts to preserve the land. After the films and an on-stage conversation with world record holder Dick Dorworth, there will be a multi-media presentation about what Tompkins has been up to in his conservation efforts in regard to Patagonia.

This is the festival’s 10th trip around North America and each year it gets bigger and better. With films such as “Finding Fontinalis,” “Jungle Angler: Legend of El Dorado,” “Tidewater” and “Geobass: Destination Guyana,” this festival has picked films from across the world showing the most intense fishing adventures imaginable.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic THE FINEST HOURS: An adaptation of

actly what the world needs: A parody of “50 Shades of Grey” from the makers of “A Haunted House” and the “Scary Movie” franchise. If Marlon Wayans’ brand of humor was smarter and more pointed, 50 Shades would be ripe for satire, but if this is half as lazy as his recent output, expect a laugh-free experience. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

a true story about a harrowing Coast Guard rescue in 1952. When a huge storm breaks the SS Pendleton in twain, 30 sailors are stuck inside the sinking ship. A heroic coxswain (all right!) takes three men and a lifeboat out to the ship to try and save some lives.

With Chris Pine and Casey Affleck involved, this should be a better than average survival picture. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE 5TH WAVE: This one is perfect for a bit of a love triangle a la post-apocalyptic, young-adult thriller. Chloe Grace Moretz stars as Cassie Sullivan, a young woman searching for her brother after an alien invasion has destroyed the planet. This could be good YA entertainment (“Maze Runner”) or bad (“Twilight”), but either way, it will probably make all of the money. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI: A film about what really went down in Benghazi is something the world could definitely use, but maybe not in this format. Directed by Michael Bay, the auteur behind the "Transformers" franchise and "Armageddon," the film is definitely more of an action movie than a political thriller, which most definitely works in its favor. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BIG SHORT: "The Big Short" tells the story about the 2008 subprime home loans meltdown leading to the near-economic collapse of the country. With a cast featuring Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale and Steve Carell, the film is getting much more attention than it would otherwise. Grab some popcorn and prepare to be infuriated. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE BOY: Extremely creepy trailers are selling this horror thriller about an American woman hired as a nanny for an 8-year old boy in a remote English village. The catch?

The boy is actually a life-size doll that the parents treat as though it is a living child.

When the nanny is left alone with the doll, it starts moving and doing other horrifying things. This one could go either way. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE CHOICE: Another year, another Nicholas Sparks adaptation. This one is about a man falling in love at first sight with his next door neighbor. With Tom Wilkinson in the cast, one hopes it is better than all the Sparks adaptations since “The Notebook,” but there’s just no way to predict these things. Tissues for crying into are probably recommended.

How far will stepdad Brad (Will Ferrell) and real dad Dusty (Mark Wahlberg), go as they face off to win the love of two children? This comedy released Christmas Day doesn’t require a lot of thought, but may hit close to home. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

DIRTY GRANDPA: This appears on first glance to be another nail in the coffin of the once great Robert De Niro’s legacy, but it might also be a cute time waster. Are we as a society ready to view De Niro as a crotchety old man, making the lives of everyone around him worse? Maybe, but let us have one more “Taxi Driver” before another decade of “Meet the Fockers,” please. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

50 SHADES OF BLACK: This is ex-

HAIL, CAESAR!: It’s about time we got a new Coen Brothers movie. “Inside Llewyn Davis” was an underrated dramatic masterpiece, but “Hail, Caesar!” looks like it harkens back to their classic Hollywood satire, “Barton Fink.” This one stars Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, ScarJo and Channing Tatum and tells the story of a Hollywood fixer who has to track down a kidnapped movie star. Even the worst Coen Bros. flick is better than most anything else, but this one looks to be another classic. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX JANE GOT A GUN: Natalie Portman plays Jane Hammond, a woman targeted by an old gang she rode with in the wild west. She teams up with an ex-fiancee to fight them and protect the family she has built. This film had legendary production issues with the director and several of the actors leaving after the production process had already begun.

The fact that the movie was even finished is a testament to how good the Black Listed script must be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX KUNG FU PANDA 3: “Kung Fu Panda 2” was a highlight in the recent onslaught of sequel-itus animated films of the last few years.

Let’s hope this one has the heart and soul of the previous entries, as well as the eye-popping animation and exciting action sequences this franchise is known for. Even if it is only a shadow of the last two, it can’t be any worse than “Cars 2.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE & ZOMBIES: Everyone likes a good mash-up, but who knows whether this will stand the test. This takes the actual story and characters from “Pride and Prejudice,” but puts them in the middle of a world-wide zombie plague.

Expect some gooey violence and some anachronistic hi-jinx during all of the zombie mayhem. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE REVENANT: From the visionary director of "Birdman" comes the movie that almost killed Leonardo DiCaprio multiple times.

"The Revenant" tells the somewhat true tale of Hugh Glass, a frontiersman who gets super mauled by a bear and then ditched by his hunting team and left for dead. What follows is 150 minutes of revenge, followed by violence, followed by catharsis and then repeat until dry. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX

RIDE ALONG 2: Kevin Hart and Ice Cube team up again to make puns and shoot guns in this sequel to the ridiculously popular "Ride Along." Now that Hart is a full-fledged cop, will his constantly bumbling antics get him and Mr. Cube shot to pieces by some gangsters? Probably not. Old Mill Stadium & IMAX STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS: There is nothing for me to tell you. The line is long. The air is cold. Lightsaber fights in the parking lot are fun but discouraged, and all of it is worth it. A definite return to the magic of the original trilogy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

entral Oregon’s majestic Smith Rock State Park is considered to be one of Oregon’s “Seven Wonders” by Travel Oregon, the state agency that promotes tourism. It is also considered to be one of the world’s premiere rock climbing destinations and the number of visitors to the park has grown to approximately 900,000 per year. Most who come are fair weather users, but winter, with cooler temperatures, is a great time to enjoy the 650-acre park located right in our backyard.

from little exposure to heavy use. When Smith Rock State Park first hit the international stage as a climbing destination, the only area for climbers to camp was in his back yard. He says it was interesting to hear all the various foreign languages.

This part of Oregon had become famous worldwide. Except for a few years spent away, Volk has lived most of his adult life at Smith Rock. To many, he has become the park’s number one steward and unofficial spokesperson. Few, if any, know more about the area than Volk.

Mike Volk, considered by many as an icon of the mountaineering and outdoor community, first encountered Smith Rock 45 years ago in 1971, while a student at the University of Oregon.

Today, he and his wife Marcia live across the street from the world-famous rock climbing destination on a 10-acre parcel directly across from the rim.

There are two versions of the story of how the park came to be known as Smith Rock. Version one recounts a battle in 1863 between U.S. Army troops and Northern Paiutes. The soldiers were chasing a band of Paiutes led by Chief Paulina, who had raided the Warm Springs tribe and stolen nearly 200 horses. During the ensuing battle at what is now Smith Rock, Private Voke Smith volunteered to search for the Paiutes to be sure they weren’t riding into an ambush. After climbing the steep west side area, Smith somehow lost his footing and fell to his death. The east side of the climb is a sheer 500 ft. cliff.

How he lost his footing is speculation.

No one will ever know for certain. The second version is somewhat less exciting: that the area is named after former

Nowadays, the park is used not only by climbers, but also by hikers, slack line enthusiasts, runners, mountain bikers, and horse lovers. There are numerous trail options – some easy, others much more challenging. No matter which trail one chooses, the spectacular scenery viewed during a brisk winter hike in the park is hard to beat.

Volk has watched the park develop

Linn County Sheriff and state legislator Captain John Smith, who worked for the Warm Springs Indian Agency and explored much of the Crooked River Canyon.

Indeed, there is much fact and fiction, lore and legend surrounding Smith Rock State Park, but one thing is certain: today, it is one of the most popular recreational destinations in Oregon. For hikers there are a dozen trails ranging from easy to difficult. Early morning is always an excellent time to venture into the park as the sunrise provides varied shadows and colors no matter what the season, particularly as one walks the easy trails following the Crooked River as it winds its way through the canyons.

Although he has spent most of his adult life hiking, climbing, photographing, and promoting Smith Rock, Mike Volk is humble about the praise that is his due.

He talks of the future and what the park will be like for generations to come. He praises the State Parks Department and the volunteer groups working to keep the park in top condition. He and his wife maintain smithrock.com, a website that contains rich and colorful information about the park that is helpful to all recreational users from beginners to experts.

For those who have some snowshoe experience and want to continue to explore snowshoeing, there are two courses that may be of interest. A Fitness Snowshoe course is being offered on Tuesdays through February from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., as well. This course includes shorter hikes with the focus on building strength and fitness levels while snowshoeing in the woods. The other course is a Thursdays Yetis Snowshoe outing being offered on Thursday through February and into March. Distances range from four to six miles for these outings from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm. This course is primarily for those who are comfortable on snowshoes, but as the old saying goes, “If you can walk, you can snowshoe.”

BPRD reminds all who are interested in joining a course or session that equipment is not included. Participants are responsible for bringing their own food and water for outings unless otherwise indicated. Clothing and equipment recommendations are available on BPRD’s website. Round-trip transportation is provided for each day’s destination in the District’s 15-passenger vans. BPRD stresses it’s important for participants to have basic strength and physical conditioning and its website offers guidelines on conditioning levels.

February and March provide some of the best opportunities for winter sports participation and soon the calendar will turn to spring and summer hiking adventures.

Take advantage now. For further information on BPRD offerings and costs, call 541389-7275, or visit bendparksandrec.org.

For those interested in the Native American connection to nature, University of Oregon Assistant Professor Marsha Weisiger presents a discussion of how the Navajo Nation looks at nature with an eye toward balance. Her lecture will be at McMenamins Old Francis School, Feb. 9, beginning at 7 p.m. RSVP at the High Desert Museum, highdesertmuseum.org/ rsvp. Weisiger is professor of history and environmental studies.

Give wildlife a chance, will ya’?

losure of certain public lands for the protection of wildlife is an absolute necessity. Nowhere have we seen it more plainly than in the Millican offroad vehicle (ORV) playground. When Bureau of Land Management wildlife biologists discovered off-road machines were literally running all over some of the best Sage Grouse nesting habitat in that huge tract of land, it became imperative the area be closed during nesting time.

Since those heady days the BLM has discovered several other wildlife areas where ORVs, bikers, hikers, climbers, horseback riders and the general public are making it near-impossible to preserve the native wildlife using “The Land.” I capitalized The Land because it deserves that honor.

Aldo Leopold was an American author, scientist, ecologist, forester, conservationist, environmentalist, and founder of the science of Wildlife Management.

Wildlife biologists and land-managers agree with Leopold’s ethics as the most effective way at managing — preserving, if you will — The Land for wild places and wild things.

Closure of certain lands has to occur if we’re going to have golden eagles flying around this part of Oregon. Up north of Madras there’s now a closure on an area rock climbers love. I know several who about busted a gut when they found those BLM seasonal closure signs.

Between Bend and Redmond, there is a golden eagle nest directly across from the little BLM recreation spot at Jaguar Road. There are three volunteers keeping an eye on that breeding territory, trying to keep intruders from chasing out the adult eagles, and thereby causing the nest to fail.

One volunteer, who lives on the opposite side of the nesting territory, has shouted at invaders to get them to leave.

Often, they are carrying firearms, and

choose to stand on the edge of the rim directly over the nest. One group of invaders shouted back at her, “We have every right to be here!” in language that would make a sailor blush. The miscreants may have thought it really was OK for them to go where they wanted to, and shoot what they wanted to shoot, because vandals pulled down the BLM’s closure signs.

There’s a pair of Golden Eagles trying to raise young in a closed canyon north of Hwy 126 between Sisters and Redmond.

The all-terrain vehicle (ATV) riders have not only violated the closure, but have carried out lots of vandalism doing so. The BLM has provided ATV users a large play area less than two miles away.

Despite that, people continue to violate posted non-motorized vehicle areas, showing utter disregard for regulations, wildlife, and habitat.

And it’s not just the ATV people, either.

The paint gun crowd has also invaded that area. One of the Oregon Eagle Foundation volunteers (with permission and blessings of the Prineville BLM) hauled TWO large pickup-loads of garbage out of the area. Here’s hoping the eagles will return.

There are many favorite recreation places the BLM has to keep closed if we are going to preserve The Land for native wildlife, and I’m very pleased to say that most of the recreational community is going along with the closures, and asking their friends to do likewise.

All except those villains who parked their rig right next to the BLM’s closure signs at Jaguar Road one day and went right in. Yep, my wife and I watched them violate that closure, and we’re the ones who called the sheriff, who responded very rapidly. I hope the invaders told their friends about their experience. Please, think about what The Land means to the wildlife that lives behind the signs. Thanks!

OUTSIDE EVENTS

The vanishing all-season athlete

By Mike Ficher 39

(And a darn good one, too.)

On the gridiron, Emerson was named on the 2015 class 5A All-State football team as a kicker and a punter. On the 2016 Kickers National Rating System published by Kohl’s Professional Camps, they note, “He looks like a D1 kicker!” He plans to walk on at the University of Oregon to kick for the football team.

On the soccer pitch, the 6’2", 200-pound athlete was the 2014 Intermountain Conference Co-Player of the Year, starred for several Bend Timbers FC teams and played on a national travel team, Sunrise, out of Florida, for four years.

On the track, he competes in the shot put, discus, triple jump and high jump, finishing ninth last spring in the class 5A state championships in the discus.

And, on hardwood, Emerson shook off the rust from a twoyear hiatus to earn a starting spot on the second-ranked Mountain View boys’ varsity basketball team.

Oh, and as a youth, he played a little baseball.

Well, he had a window of time in the spring. Nowadays, he’s also a part-time soccer referee. The multitude of sports, though, is not absent challenges.

“It’s hard work,” says Emerson. “It’s putting in the extra work, more than just practices with the team. You’ve got to get out there on your own and just work to get better at whatever sport it is.

Then, you’ve got to go out and work on your other sports as well,” he says Needless to say, that can make for a long day.

“I go to school, go to practice ‘til around 5:30, then, I usually have an hour and a half with family and dinner. Then, around 7 o’clock, I usually start the homework, try to get that done. Get a little video games in, hopefully, if I finish all my work,” he says.

In order to sustain his ability to be at an optimal level as a student and a multi-sport athlete, Emerson places a premium on training and nutrition.

“I do a lot of weight training,” he says, “and, I’m constantly drinking water.” This, he explains, is so he doesn’t cramp up at practice or in games. In addition to the emphasis on drinking plenty of water, he focuses on balanced meals that are high in protein.

Emerson offers straightforward advice for anyone considering participating in multiple sports: “Do it!”

He says it can be tough, but participating year-round in other sports makes one a better athlete for a main sport.

“You get more experience working as a team, you mature more. Overall, it made me into the person who I am, not just the athlete I am,” he says.

Mr. Swipe Right

—Annoyed Welcome to the Hookupatorium!

Tinder takes all the wait and effort out of speed dating. No need to put on pants— or pull them up, if you’re on the john. You just “swipe right” on your phone to match with somebody—and maybe even swipe ‘em right into your bed 20 minutes later.

Plus it’s fun—less like a dating site than a video game. “Call of Booty,” anyone?

However, for anyone seeking “happily ever after” instead of “hookupily,” Tinder can pose a problem, and that problem is too much choice. But…choice is a good thing, right?

Unfortunately, our psychological operating system evolved in an environment where the level of choice was more like “Sir, can I bring you the grubs or the grubs?” So research finds that we’re easily overwhelmed by a slew of options—often choosing poorly and being bummed about it afterward or feeling too snowed to choose at all. Social psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that these problems with choosing are about protecting ourselves from regret—the pain of blaming ourselves for making the wrong choice.

But having a lot of options isn’t necessarily unmanageable—if we have enough information to differentiate between them and narrow the field. However, on Tinder, there’s minimal info—only age, location, pics, and a few lines about a person—making it an endless swipestream of “she’s hot” and “she’s hot in a slightly different way.”

Also consider that Tinder is not designed to help you find love; Tinder is designed to keep you Tindering. The psychological hook is “intermittent reinforcement.”

Predictable “rewards”—like if you swiped and always got a match—quickly give us the yawnies. But Tinder’s unpredictable rewards—the random ding! “It’s a match!”—turn you into a coke-seeking lab rat, relentlessly swiping for your next high.

I’m a woman who’s both loving and seriously hating Tinder. Guys on this app mostly want to hook up, and even those who say they want a relationship are flaky, often disappearing after a single date. Sure, this sometimes happens with guys I meet in real life, but not at the rate of my Tinder dates.

of whom he broke up with last year. And finally, there’s how face-to-face meetings come with behavioral constraints that Tinder convos lack. You should find it’s the rare guy at the coffee shop who immediately follows up “That a soy latte?” with a casual “Wanna see my dick?”

Shirknado My girlfriend has been feeling neglected and keeps worrying that I’m mad at her. I love her, but I have big business problems now, and I don’t want to burden her with them. Also, since we have a good thing, doesn’t it make sense to focus on the stuff that’s a mess?

—Startup Guy Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to outsource your relationship to some guy in the Philippines: “Please stay on the line.

Your feelings are very important to us…”

Men and women tend to deal with crisis in different ways. Women manage their emotions by expressing them; men just hope theirs will go away. Evolutionary psychologists Leda Cosmides and John Tooby explain that men evolved to be the defenders of the species, and in battle, it would have put them at a disadvantage to show their feelings—especially those reflecting vulnerability, like “Yikes, I’m totally out of my league!”

Being predisposed to bury your feelings in the backyard doesn’t mean you should—assuming you don’t want your next startup to be a new relationship. This isn’t to say you need to blather on about everything, Oprah’s-couch style. You just need to share the bad as well as the good, even just by texting, “tough day, babe.”

You might even put reminders on your phone to send brief sweet messages a few times daily. Maybe that seems dumb and unromantic. What’s dumber and more unromantic is adding breakup problems to your business problems because you didn’t put in 46 seconds a day telling a woman that she matters. Sure, misery reportedly “loves company,” but let’s not be hasty in filling the flower vases and putting out the good towels.

Dates that come out of real-life meetings are probably more likely to lead to second dates, and maybe more. At a party, you’re, say, one of eight single women, five of whom a guy isn’t that attracted to and one AMY ALKON

writer Thomas à Kempis thought that real love can arouse enormous fortitude in the person who loves. “Love feels no burden,” he wrote. “It attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.” As you might imagine, the “real love” he was referring to is not the kind that’s motivated by egotism, power drives, blind lust, or insecurity. I think you know what I mean, Taurus, because in the past few months you have had unprecedented access to the primal glory that Thomas referred to. And in the coming months you will have even more. What do you plan to do with all that mojo?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): “No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved,” wrote author Mignon McLaughlin. I think that may be true. The gap between what we yearn for and what we actually get is never fully closed. Nevertheless, I suggest that you strive to refute McLaughlin’s curse in the coming days. Why? Because you now have an enhanced capacity to love the people you care about in ways they want to be loved. So be experimental with your tenderness. Take the risk of going beyond what you’ve been willing or able to give before. Trust your fertile imagination to guide your ingenious empathy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Fifteenth-century

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Gemini novelist Elizabeth Bowen (1899-1973) was fascinated in “life with the lid on and what happens when the lid comes off.” She knew both states from her own experience. “When you love someone,” she mused about the times the lid had come off, “all your saved-up wishes start coming out.” In accordance with the astrological omens, I propose that you engage in the following threepart exercise. First, identify a part of your life that has the lid tightly clamped over it. Second, visualize the suppressed feelings and saved-up wishes that might pour forth if you took the lid off. Third, do what it takes to love someone so well that you’ll knock the lid off.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Love is a fire,” declared Aries actress Joan Crawford. “But whether it’s going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.” I disagree with her conclusion. There are practical steps you can take to ensure that love’s fire warms but doesn’t burn. Start with these strategies: Suffuse your libido with compassion.

Imbue your romantic fervor with empathy. Instill your animal passions and instinctual longings with affectionate tenderness.

If you catch your sexual urges driving you toward narcissists who are no damn good for you, firmly redirect those sexual urges toward emotionally intelligent, self-responsible beauties.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sixteenth-century Italian poet Torquato Tasso described one of love’s best blessings. He said your lover can reunite you with “a piece of your soul that you never knew was missing.” You Pisceans are in a phase when this act of grace is more possible than usual. The revelatory boon may emerge because of the chemistry stirred up by a sparkly new affiliation. Or it may arise thanks to a familiar relationship that is entering unfamiliar territory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here’s the counsel of French writer Anatole France: “You learn to

speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.” What he says is always true, but it’s especially apropos for you Leos in the coming weeks. You now have a special talent for learning more about love by loving deeply, excitedly, and imaginatively. To add further nuance and inspiration, meditate on this advice from author Aldous Huxley: “There isn’t any formula or method. You learn to love by loving—by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you,’” said author Maya Angelou. She concludes: “There is an African saying: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” With this in mind, I invite you to take inventory of the allies and relatives whose relationships are most important to you. How well do they love themselves? Is there anything you could do to help them upgrade their love for themselves? If their self-love is lacking, what might you do to protect yourself from that problem?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Only love interests me,” declared painter Marc Chagall, “and I am only in contact with things that revolve around love.” That seems like an impossibly high standard. Our daily adventures bring us into proximity with loveless messes all the time. It’s hard to focus on love to the exclusion of all other concerns. But it’s a worthy goal to strive toward Chagall’s ideal for short bursts of time. And the coming weeks happen to be a favorable phase for you to do just that. Your success may be partial, but dramatic nonetheless.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “A coward is incapable of exhibiting love,” said Mahatma Gandhi. “It is the prerogative of the brave.” That’s my challenge to you, Scorpio. In accordance with the astrological currents, I urge you to stoke your uninhibited audacity so you can press onward toward the frontiers of intimacy. It’s not enough to be wilder, and it’s not enough to be freer. To fulfill love’s potential in the next chapter of your story, you’ve got to be wilder, freer, and bolder.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “It is not lack of love but lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages,” said Friedrich Nietzsche. He believed that if you want to join your fortunes with another’s, you should ask yourself whether you will enjoy your conversations with this person for the next 30 years—because that’s what you’ll be doing much of the time you’re together. How do you measure up to this gold standard, Sagittarius? What role does friendship play in your romantic adventures? If there’s anything lacking, now is an excellent time to seek improvements. Start with yourself, of course.

How could you infuse more camaraderie into the way you express love? What might you do to upgrade your skills as a conversationalist?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Love isn’t something you find,” says singer Loretta Lynn.

“Love is something that finds you.” Singer Kylie Minogue concurs: “You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend your life. Love is like a lottery.” I think these perspectives are at best misleading, and at worst debilitating. They imply we have no power to shape our relationship with love. My view is different.

I say there’s a lot we can do to attract intimate allies who teach us, stimulate us, and fulfill us.

Like what? 1. We clarify what qualities we want in a partner, and we make sure that those qualities are also healthy for us. 2. We get free of unconscious conditioning that’s at odds with our conscious values. 3. We work to transform ourselves into lovable collaborators who communicate well. Anything else? What can you do to make sure love isn’t a lottery?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “We all have the potential to fall in love a thousand times in our lifetime,” writes Chuck Klosterman. “It’s easy.

But there are certain people you love who do something else; they define how you classify what love is supposed to feel like. You’ll meet maybe four or five of these people over the span of 80 years.” He concludes, “A lover like this sets the template for what you will always love about other people.” I suspect that you have either recently met or will soon meet such a person, Aquarius. Or else you are on the verge of going deeper than ever before with an ally you have known for a while. That’s why I think what happens in the next six months will put an enduring stamp on your relationship with intimacy.

Millennial homebuyer buzz

Millennials are expected to be the typical first-time homebuyers. Younger buyers play an important role in that they typically buy starter homes, which allow existing homebuyers to sell their homes and move up, thereby triggering an increase in home sales. The reasons given for the decline in first-time homebuyers is that they have too much debt from student loans, their income is not high enough and credit criteria has tightened.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the percentage change in first time homebuyers from 2001-2014 for Oregon is a 45 percent decline.

The Avant infographic has some interesting information about significant factors affecting millennials’ inability to

45

buy homes: -The average millennial makes $20,000 per year less than the US average ($30,000 vs $50,000).

-The average millennial’s credit score is 625, whereas the US average is 695.

-Only three percent of millennials have taken out a mortgage, but 14 percent have auto loans, 24 percent have student loans, and 27 percent have credit cards, and their average debt is $52,120.

Some lenders are adjusting their standards for millennials. SoFi is opting not to use FICO scores and instead evaluates other criteria, such as the existence of saving accounts, the ability to pay rent and timely payment of utility bills, which are not reflected in credit scores.

If more lenders follow suit, this will open the housing market to these buyers, many of whom are paying way more rent that they would be paying for a mortgage.

That’s Totally OFF the HOOK! What’s up with business phone providers that make you talk to a robot or wait on hold forever?

Shouldn’t a phone company know how to answer the phone?

One of the key benefits of military service is free health care provided by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). However, for our many veterans who return from their deployment with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other painful and debilitating medical conditions, that benefit is seriously limited by the federal government’s ongoing prohibition on medicinal use of cannabis.

According to a directive issued by the VA in 2011, physicians who provide care to veterans cannot recommend medical marijuana to a veteran even if, in their professional medical judgment, marijuana would be beneficial.

means that VA physicians are not allowed to complete the paperwork necessary for a veteran to obtain a prescription for medical marijuana. VA physicians are not even allowed to discuss medical marijuana with their patients.

This makes the VA unique among federal health care programs. Physicians providing care under Medicaid, Medicare, and Children's Health Insurance Program are allowed to have such conversations with their parents, and they are not punished if they decide to recommend medical marijuana.

Many members of Congress believe the VA should do away with its prohibition on medical marijuana in states where medical marijuana is legal. In November, Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley and Montana Sen. Steve Daines, a Republican, introduced the Veterans Equal Access Amendment to end the prohibition and to prevent the VA from taking any action to deny service to a veteran who participates in a state medical marijuana program. That bill passed the Senate unanimously, by a vote of 93-0.

Daines summarized both the legal and

the fairness issues perfectly in an interview with Yahoo News: “When veterans walk into a VA facility and talk with their doctor, they can’t discuss all of the options available to them that they could discuss at a non-VA facility next door. Current VA policy is not only a clear violation of states’ 10th Amendment rights — it’s a violation of our veterans’ First Amendment rights to talk openly and freely with their doctors.

Veterans shouldn’t be discriminated against just because they’re seeking the care they deserve at VA facilities.”

Oregon Congressman Earl Blumenauer introduced the same legislation in the House of Representatives last year, but the amendment was narrowly defeated.

Blumenauer, and others, will likely introduce this legislation again in 2016.

In the meantime, the VA directive was set to expire at the end of January 2016.

In response, a bipartisan group of 21 Senators and House members, including Oregon Senators Merkley and Wyden and Rep. Blumenauer, has sent a letter to the VA urging it to end its likely unconstitutional prohibition now without the need for further Congressional action. The letter states that veterans deserve “to have full and frank discussions with their doctors without the fear of losing benefits” and notes that “you [the VA] are in a position to make this change when the current … directive expires.”

Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that the VA will act. Back in 2012, the White House responded to a petition asking for an end to the VA’s prohibitionist policy by saying that marijuana does not meet the standards of safe or effective medicine. In the absence of action from Congress, veterans’ only hope seems to be a change of heart by President Obama in his final year in office.
