It’s no secret that Oregon produces good weed—and a lot of it. Along with other bastions of marijuana, such as Humboldt County, Calif., Oregonians have a very green thumb that’s put the state near the top of the heap when it comes to production of the stuff. Oregon’s thumb is so green, in fact, that it’s also not a secret that the state is producing way more marijuana than it can consume itself. Legal growers in Oregon are producing about 2 million pounds of cannabis per year, while demand for it in the state is between 186,100 and 372,600 pounds, according to Cannabis Business News.

Oversupply has become such an issue that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission halted issuing new licenses last summer. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney for Oregon, Billy J. Williams, has set sights on cracking down on interstate drug trafficking, because, as he wrote in August, “overproduction is rampant.”

But were we living in a scenario in which marijuana was no longer a Schedule 1 drug, classified by the federal government as having “no currently accepted medical use” and “a high potential for abuse”—the same classification given to drugs such as heroin and ecstasy— we might not use the word “overproduction” at all. Plenty of other states grow an abundance of certain crops because of the state’s climate, geography or residents’ interest, and we don’t look at those as “overproduction.” Florida produces a lot of oranges and sells them to other states. If Florida was only allowed to sell oranges to Floridians, we might also call that overproduction. Instead, we call it exportation.

Which brings us to a bill under consideration in the Oregon legislature, and why it may be a very good idea to see it pass sooner rather than later. Senate Bill 582, sponsored by Sen. Floyd Prozanski (D-Eugene) and Rep. Ken Helm (D-Beaverton), would authorize the governor to “enter into an agreement with another state for purpose of cross-jurisdictional coordination and enforcement of marijuana-related businesses,” and “specifies that borders of this state must abut borders of other state.” In other words, SB 582 would allow Oregon to set up agreements with states that touch Oregon to effectively enter into an interstate commerce agreement with those states. In this current climate of federal prohibition of marijuana, the bill is not much more than a “just in case” move—but it’s a just in case that could help

Oregon solidify its position as a big producer and exporter of this green crop.

Knowing when or how marijuana becomes de-scheduled is like reading tea leaves—but momentum is moving in favor of federal legalization. Members of Congress, including our own Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.-3), have introduced numerous bills that would de-schedule marijuana. Wyden introduced a bill of that type this month—adding in a provision for federal excise taxes that would see the federal government getting a piece of the revenue pie. Ten states have fully legalized recreational as well as medical marijuana; 33 states have medical marijuana programs as of this year. It’s clear that the demand for the product is there, and in some places, the demand can’t keep up with supply. Canada now has legal cannabis, but recreational shops are still closing early or staying closed on certain days because of undersupply. It’s clear Oregon is producing the oranges that many other regions would gladly make into orange juice.

Until marijuana is de-scheduled at the federal level, the framework that SB 582 would lay out would be a formality. Should the governors of neighboring states dare to actually set up interstate commerce and allow legal weed between Oregon, California, Nevada and Washington right now, they’d be playing a big game of felonious dare.

Still, having the framework in place that SB 582 would allow would mean that Oregon would be ahead of the game, should federal legalization happen. Oregon would be more readily equipped to begin exporting marijuana and dealing with the regulations necessary to do so—ahead of some other states that may want to get into the business. That would be a positive step, a boon to a strong sector of the Oregon economy—one that has been responsible for millions flowing into schools, fire departments and police departments in the state already. Were we able to sell more, it stands to reason that those institutions would also see more tax revenue—and without much more burden on local law enforcement, to boot.

Legislators should move to pass the bill— which had its first public hearing this week—to lay the groundwork for turning Oregon’s oversupply problem into an export opportunity.

BEND CITY COUNCIL

orchestrated by Russell.

Bend voters defeated Bill Moseley for mayor, Andrew Davis and Sarah McCormick for Council, all candidates backed by the Bend Special Interest Group and with $100,000 plus in campaign contributions.

Progressive voters (Democrats and Independents) primarily woke up finding the “ideological balance” gone and the Bend Special Interest Group totally in the driver’s seat in our city, with a 5-2 advantage. Russell clearly thwarted the will of the people.

Russell should be censored, sanctioned and or reprimanded by the Deschutes County Democratic Party and possibly subject to recall as mayor, after six months in office.

Bend has been strangled by the Bend Special Interest Group for the past 30 years. Voters who defeated candidates with huge special interest campaign contributions last November are awakening. We need to be vigilant, and take back our city and the future we want for the next generation of Bend residents.

—Brian M. Douglass

COUNTY ON HOOK FOR TRIP After reading the article in the Bend Bulletin on the February 4th front page I was appalled at County Commissioner Phil Henderson’s comments about “the practice of not overseeing each other’s plans” regarding his trip to the ALEC conference. Where is the oversight? As a retired employee of Deschutes County this has not been the policy that I was allowed to follow. In fact, for any conference attendance, you needed permission, it had to be cost effective, and for the most part we were not allowed to attend anything out of state, with very few exceptions. As far as reimbursement—estimates needed to be made and okayed ahead of time, and receipts/ out of pocket costs needed to be turned in immediately upon return— NOT A MONTH LATER. I think it is the responsibility of the County administrator to be giving this more oversight. Attending conferences like the National Association of Counties and Association of Oregon Counties makes total sense, as does meetings with our legislatures in Salem, but to attend any kind of conference that clearly is political in nature is totally unacceptable.

Editor’s note: ALEC is an acronym for the American Legislative Exchange Council, whose motto is “limited government, free markets, federalism.”

COUGAR KILLING INCREASES CONFLICT The Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife killed a 135-pound male cougar in Deschutes River Woods near Bend, once again demonstrating how little they know about cougar ecology or more likely how little they care about science.

What ODFW should know is that male cougar patrol a territory and keep other younger cougars at bay. There is nothing to indicate that this adult male was a threat to any people. Indeed, the fact that it had attained adult size and age is an indication of its ability to “stay out of trouble.”

But with the killing of this large male, ODFW has opened the territory for other younger males—males that may not be as efficient hunters or less shy around humans. In any event, what they have done is INCREASED the likelihood of a conflict between cougars and people.

But then ODFW doesn’t seem to care much about ecology at all. If they did, they would not allow the hunting of predators.

Has the Bend City Council lost its fricken mind? This is my own “Political Analysis,” in effect “the story behind the story” that most readers will not see in the local press.

I believe Sally Russell is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” She ran as a member of the Democratic Party and with their endorsement and full support for a supposedly non-partisan position.

She espoused positions that would make any knowledgeable voter believe that she was a “progressive.” Except when it came time to appoint a citizen to Council, she then voted as a card-carrying member of the Bend Special Interest Group: the Bend Chamber, builders, developers and realtors.

She now claims to be a “centrist,” whatever that means in the Deschutes County Democratic Party.

Russell, as a Democrat, would certainly prefer another progressive to complete her term. Moseley, a Republican, would certainly have preferred a conservative and likely a candidate that had the backing of the Bend Special Interest Group.

That would be understandable. Elections have consequences, as we all know.

Surprise, surprise when it came to decision time, Russell shocked the citizens of Bend and progressives and conservatives and voted for a white, male Republican with virtually no previous community involvement and no governmental experience. What the hell!

City-released emails clearly demonstrate that this candidate was heavily promoted and lobbied for by the Bend Special Interest Group. When Russell’s vote was made, Councilor Abernathy, a graduate of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and faced with his personal “Profiles in Courage” moment, caved and also voted for Piper.

Previously there was talk on the Council that an “ideological balance,” which had been four progressives and three conservative councilors, was publicly preferred. Now in a flash, the Council makeup became five conservatives supported by the Bend Special Interest Group and two progressives. No one with common sense can ever again trust that Russell and Abernathy will ever vote with the two real progressives who are on the Council today. What a turnaround, what a betrayal

eb. 20 is School Exclusion Day, or the final day parents have to show their children are up to date on all their immunizations. According to the Oregon Health Authority, under state law, all children in public and private schools, preschools, Head Start and certified child care facilities must have their records complete or show an acceptable exemption.

“This year’s School Exclusion Day reminder has taken on added urgency as the Pacific Northwest confronts the worst preventable measles outbreak in more than two decades,” Stacy de Assis Matthews, school law coordinator for the OHA Public Health Division, said in a press release.

“Immunizations are the most effective way to stop the spread of measles and other communicable diseases that put children and others at risk.”

On Jan. 30, Deschutes County Health Services said a person who visited Bend had a confirmed case of measles. DCHS officials suspect that the possible exposure is connected to a measles outbreak that began in Clark County, Wash., earlier this month—which also led to a case appearing in Multnomah County, Ore., and in Hawaii.

The measles outbreak in Washington included 52 cases of measles and caused Gov. Jay Inslee (D) to declare a state of emergency Jan. 25.

As voiced in a story in the Washington Post, the Pacific Northwest is home to some of the nation’s most vocal and organized anti-vaccination activists. In Oregon, Oregonians for Medical Freedom is part of Physicians for Informed Consent’s network, whose vision—according to its website— is “to live in a society free of mandatory vaccination laws and to live in a society knowledgeable about infectious disease, the immune system, and informed consent.”

The Post story said the Northwest has some of the lowest child immunization rates in the country, with as many as 10.5 percent of kindergartners statewide in Idaho unvaccinated for measles. Washington, Oregon and Idaho are some of the 17 states in the U.S. allowing medical exemptions, religious exemptions and “philosophical” exemptions—meaning virtually anyone can exempt out of the requirements— according to the Post story.

On the OHA’s informational section on immunizations about exemptions and immunity, it says physicians can sign medical exemptions for children with “valid contraindications.” People may also choose not to vaccinate for personal, religious or philosophical reasons. They’re required to watch a video and submit a certificate of completion, or talk to a healthcare provider and have them sign a Vaccine Education Certificate.

Measles once sent tens of thousands of Americans to hospitals each year and killed an estimated 400 to 500 people— many of them young children, according

to the Post story. The disease was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, yet last year 349 cases were confirmed across 26 states and the District of Columbia.

Federal guidelines recommend children get the first vaccine dose at 12 to 15 months of age and the second when they are 4 to 6 years old. This combination is 97 to 99 percent effective in preventing the disease, according to the CDC. This Feb. 21 marks the 21st anniversary of an article published in The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal from the United Kingdom, that many consider the birth of the anti-vaccination movement. The article—which linked the MMR (mumps, Measles, Rubella) vaccine to autism—was written by Andrew Wakefield, a British doctor who was eventually de-licensed by medical authorities for his deceit and “callous disregard” for children in his care, according to an article in TIME magazine. The article wasn’t retracted until 2010, despite concerns raised by experts at the time of publication in 1998 and the 2004 expose on Wakefield’s sloppy science and retraction by the co-authors, the TIME story said.

According to the OHA, Oregon law requires the following shots for school and childcare attendance. Kindergarten or grades 1 to 6: five Diptheria/Tetanus/Pertussis (DTaP), four Polio, one Varicella (chickenpox), two MMR, three Hepatitis B and two Hepatitis A. Bend-La Pine Schools’s Health & Immunizations information says that students may return to school after parents bring in proof of up-to-date immunization records, if they receive an exclusion notice. There are many resources for immunizations in Deschutes County, including Deschutes County Health Department and the BendLa Pine Schools websites. Also, Ensworth Elementary and Bend Senior High School both offer school-based health centers where kids can be vaccinated.

Alandra Johnson, communications specialist for Bend-La Pine Schools, said the district hasn’t received any complaints or concerns in the wake of the recent measles case, and won’t have any current information about the number of vaccinated students until after the exclusion day.

Meanwhile, Rep. Mitch Greenlick (D-Portland) is preparing a bill that would eliminate non-medical exemptions for unvaccinated school children. The bill is still being finalized and could face stiff opposition. A similar proposal in 2015 was abandoned after pressure from opponents.

“People have the right to make bad decisions about the health care of their children,” Greenlick said in an Oregonlive story. “But that does not give them the right to send unprotected children into their school.”

Wasted in Bend: Clothing in the Landfill

A growing movement to repair and reuse textiles

7

Wear it out or toss it out?

Americans discard 16 million tons of textiles every year. That’s 80 pounds of clothing, bedding, tents and bags, per person. Some comes from stores tossing unsold inventory. The Environmental Protection Agency calculates that 85 percent of unwanted textiles end up in a landfill, while 15 percent is reused or recycled.

Once fabrics arrive in a landfill, decomposition depends on the fiber, and on landfill conditions. Natural fibers such as cotton, bamboo, wool and silk break down within a few years, while synthetic polyesters remain intact for up to 200 years.

In Oregon, Department of Environmental Quality statistics show that textiles create over 3 percent of our waste stream—half the national average.

That doesn’t necessarily mean Oregonians throw away less clothing, says Timm Schimke, director of solid waste in Deschutes County. “We tend to have

a lot of construction waste here, which skews the percentages,” he explained.

Knott Landfill, the only landfill in Deschutes County, is projected to close in 2019, and reducing the waste stream is critical to stretching its lifespan. The newest Solid Waste Management Plan (its acronym, SWMP, is pronounced swamp) raises the recycling goal for the county to 45 percent of collected solid waste. Textile recycling is not yet part of the County’s waste diversion plan.

From Clothing to Rags The simplest way to keep clothing out of landfills is through a thrift shop, but not all donations will end up in a new closet. Most thrift shops keep donations on the floor for several weeks, then bundle unsold clothing into bales for textile salvage buyers.

Salvage bales may be shipped overseas, but the massive volume of used clothing is causing foreign demand to plummet. Other bales are used to create recycled cleaning rags, a growing market niche. The least-desirable salvage is shredded for use as recycled fiber.

Dale Emanuel, public relations manager for the Columbia Willamette branch of Goodwill Industries, notes that Central Oregon donors are among the most generous in the country. Each week, more than 220,000 pounds of donations arrive in local stores, most of it clothing. Every week, 15,000 pounds leave the stores in salvage bales.

“We do everything we can to keep donated goods out of the landfill,” said

Goodwill Industries

Last month I resolved to clean out my closet—hitting a snag when I pulled out a well-worn puffy coat with a broken zipper. Was it too shabby to donate?

What were my options beyond tossing it in the trash?

These questions become more common with the advent of fast-fashion clothing—a disposable commodity.

Americans buy twice as many pieces of clothing annually than 20 years ago, but keep them half as long, according to Greenpeace research.

Unsold clothing donations at Bend Goodwill are bundled into bales for salvage.

Emanuel. “Donation sales fund our Job Connection, which helped over 800 community members last year.” About 5 percent of donations arrive too dirty for salvage, so the organization pays landfill fees to dispose of them.

At the Opportunity Foundation Thrift Stores in Bend and Redmond, Director Seth Johnson reinforces Emanuel’s sentiment. “Sorting donations is valuable job training for our employees,” he noted, “and almost everything can be reused or recycled.” In 2018, their thrift stores diverted 275,120 pounds of clothing from the landfill.

The Business of Reuse and Recycle Businesses small and large are finding ways to reuse and recycle clothing— from local, independent consignment shops to fast-fashion powerhouses like H&M, which now keeps recycling collection bins in stores.

Patagonia has its Worn Wear program, taking back gently used items in return for credit toward new or used

items. All new Patagonia items are fully recyclable.

Rod Bien, owner of Patagonia in Bend, estimates people bring about 100 used items per month to the downtown Bend store. “We’re working to create a culture where customers choose carefully, and keep garments for a long time,” said Bien.

Repair businesses extend clothing usability as well. At Rugged Thread, a local repair service for outdoor clothing and gear, owner Kim Kinney expects to replace zippers and patch holes on thousands of items this year.

“The repair economy is coming,” she stated. “People are learning what resources go into making garments, all the water and chemicals, and those get thrown away, too.”

So, what to do with my shabby puffy?

Fix that zipper, or wash it before donating for salvage or recycling? In either case, it won’t go into the trash.

Local cultivators of comedy have taken on the task of curating solid offerings, showcasing not only local talent, but heavy hitters touring the stand-up comedy circuit also.

Katy Ipock STAND-UP COMIC / IPOCKOLYPTIC PRODUCTIONS

Three years ago, Katy Ipock took to the comedy stage for the first time at the (now defunct) Summit Saloon on a night out with her husband. She loved it and has said "yes" to every local show that she’s encountered since. Fast forward a few years later and she owns her own production company, Ipockolyptic Productions, producing a monthly comedy showcase for local comedians, as well as regular open mics at Craft Kitchen & Brewery.

When I asked her why comedy — and why now — Ipock says she’s always enjoyed the spotlight. “Public speaking isn’t something everyone can do. I do not have a clean enough mouth to be a politician. My public speaking days are kind of done,” says Ipock.

As for what she looks for in a comic when she’s booking showcases, she says it’s a little different for every booker.

“For me, when I am watching open mics for the basic stuff: are they holding the

mic right, is their stage presence engaging — that basic stuff — and then writing’s important. Are they performing in a way that is funny?”

Sure, it sounds basic. Easier said than done, right?

The availability of stage time is part of the reason Bend’s local comedy scene is burgeoning — something comics in larger areas like Portland or Seattle have to fight harder to get.

“We’re starting to get interest from comics out of town wanting to perform. Interest from big talent that see Bend as a place that cultivates new talent that could be ready for roadwork.” says Ipock.

Favorite Local Comic: Cole Robison – “Best new comic of 2018”

Cole Robeson STAND-UP COMEDIAN

If you think a crowd at an open mic is a hard nut to crack, try making another comedian give up a whole-hearted laugh. Robeson’s name came up multiple times in conversations with local comedians — so you could say he’s the comedian’s comedian.

“I think comedy, like music, is a very powerful art form. To make somebody laugh and elevate any stresses they may have by filtering your own through a comedic lens is incredible — to make an entire room come together and do that same thing at the same time is beyond incredible.”

I met Robeson outside of Seven Nightclub for a quick interview before an open mic performance in December.

It was 20-something degrees and the door man was late — or, as it turned out, the show was canceled, unbeknownst to the handful of people waiting for Godot outside the club. Robeson was good company, though, and was easygoing despite the cold.

Robeson started performing standup in January of last year, hitting as many open mics as he could in his first few months to hone his material.

His style: a lot of one-liners with play on words, a-la Mitch Hedberg with the wry, droll candor of Norm McDonald.

Robeson says his goal is to make the people in bars listen—especially the ones who aren’t there to see the show. If he can do that, he knows he’s got something good. He says there are plenty of opportunities in Central Oregon to sharpen his set.

In a Source story on comedy in January, Robeson said he’d advise that people move to this area to “get good” before tackling the scenes in places such as Portland.

It just kind of turned into, you should probably say this stuff on stage because it’s kind of funny.”

Bend Comedy brings in a lot of regional talent, but they also hold a weekly open-format open mic at Seven Nightclub that draws in new comedians. When I asked her if there is a lot of crossover between the improv and stand-up comics, she laughs and says that those who are comfortable doing both are a rare breed.

“Improv terrifies me because it’s not written down. I can’t prep for it and I have to rely on other people — I have to trust these other four or five people to have my back,” says Johnson. “Whereas stand-up, you’re like a lone wolf, right?

You get to sit in your cave and just write everything down that’s in your brain and figure it out and hone it and then do it.”

Favorite Local Comic: Dana Buckendahl — and a shout out to Bend Improv Group.

“To go from getting the call from The Motet, from playing subways to headlining Red Rocks is like my childhood dream come true.”

—LYLE DIVINSKY SW: Your dad was also a singer. Have you always been drawn to music?

LD: He’s my favorite singer in the

convinced I was going to be a basketball player. Singing was always his thing.

He was always really good at it, so I was

kind of intimidated by it. I didn’t start singing until I was like 16 or 17.

Funny enough, it was actually through basketball. I was kind of messing around with my coach being like, “Hey, are you gonna let me sing the national anthem?” Expecting him to be like, “Shut up and go run,” but he was like, “Yeah, I’ll go line it up right now.”

It completely backfired on him ‘cause it was actually kind of fun.

SW: The Motet just put out “Death or Devotion.” What was it like working on that?

LD: That was incredible, man. This is a very true representation of The Motet right now and what’s been inspiring us. The thing that I love and really admire about The Motet and the community around it is the understanding that the only constant is change. There are no walls or boundaries. This record was very freeing.

SW: One of my favorite songs on there is “Get It Right.” Is there anything special you can tell me about the track?

Because it’s over seven minutes of this awesome groove.

LD: It was one of those songs that kind of wrote itself. Once I heard what they [rhythm section] had done to it I think I just got up in my room and was like dancing around with no pants on.

I headed down immediately and just started recording the demo vocals.

SW: What makes you love funk and soul so much?

LD: It just feels good, man. I look at funk and soul as two sides of the same personality. Funk is the extrovert, the party, the social interaction – and then soul is the introvert. The reflection, the sensitivity, the vulnerability. With this record we wanted to find a way to really marry both of those.

T

he Motet is an all-star-studded funk, jazz and Afrobeat band out of Denver, Colo. The members have gone through various looks over the years, with the latest lineup putting out a brilliant funk record called “Death or Devotion.” It seriously sounds like a time machine – one powered by dance, anyway.

Lead singer Lyle Divinsky took some time out of his day of enjoying Super Bowl leftovers to chat with the Source about the new record, his road to finding his voice and ultimately, to finding The Motet as well.

Source Weekly: You teamed up with The Motet back in 2016. What’s it been like being a part of that?

Lyle Divinsky: Oh man, it’s been a whirlwind. I was living in New York before joining in with these guys, living in Brooklyn. I’ve spent a lot of my time in New York playing in subways and working my way up literally from the bottom. To go from getting the call from The Motet, from playing subways to headlining Red Rocks is like my childhood dream come true. It’s almost storybook sh*t.

Scott Gilmore dives into the making of the characters that make up the duo’s namesake

The Foundations Of Fox And Bones

By Isaac Biehl

Submitted

Fox and Bones plan to let their third album grow organically on the road.

BEND CRAFTSMEN COMPANY

New Builds, Remodels, Custom Woodworking

S

cott Gilmore and Sarah Vitort met about three years ago, while Gilmore was checking out one of Vitort’s acoustic shows. That moment was an instant bond for the two future collaborators. Music would become the foundation for their future.

“I immediately fell in love with her talent and songwriting,” recalls Gilmore. “That evening we planned to write a song together, and by the end of the week, over the internet, we had written a song—and the song was good! We just kind of never looked back from there.”

In the beginning of their time as a duo, Gilmore and Vitort created characters to work into their songwriting. The character’s names? Fox and Bones, of course.

Some of what was in those characters is actually true to reality. Vitort’s character is Fox—a down-and-out bad girl, according to the group’s website, while Gilmore is Bones—the rootless bad boy.

“We devised these characters as a way to live our dreams out on the road,” Gilmore told the Source. “We wanted to create the characters as a vehicle for which to create the world we wanted to live in.”

This was an early development of Fox and Bones as a musical group—one Gilmore says they sometimes still use in their writing process, as it awards more freedom.

Gilmore’s beginnings in music were in elementary school, mostly spending his time learning the Ninja Turtles or X-Men theme songs on the piano. Gilmore’s parents never pushed him into lessons, but he was still able to pick up piano and guitar along the way, he says.

“It wasn’t until maybe my late teens where I sort of found my stride and dedicated myself to the instrument in a more studious manner,” Gilmore says of

his musical upbringings. “Sarah, from a young age, took guitar lessons and vocal lessons, was involved in choir, and musically speaking, she’s quite talented in all those efforts.”

Fox and Bones’ music is made for those who are after adventure or who are running down a dream. The sound feels vast—like being in an open field with nothing but your thoughts narrating to the future.

“I think that’s one of the biggest pillars of this. We’re all working towards this goal every day of becoming more and more of ourselves,” details Gilmore about the themes in their music. “We’re 100 percent enwrapped in this craft.

We’re always attempting to be the best that we can be but to also keep moving forward. The more we put into it the more we get out of it.”

While the duo’s first album was more focused on the characters, with their sophomore effort, “Better Land,” Gilmore says they worked on expanding their scope to speak more about doing something positive in the world.

“I’d like to see people trust each other more. I’d like less barriers up,” says Gilmore of what he’d like to see change.

“I think one big thing—especially in the U.S.—that we’re finding is that we spend so much time placing people on two sides of the fence. Ideally, what we could benefit the most on, is focusing on our similarities rather than our differences.”

CULTURE

A Nomadic Sculptor Finds Home From toy guns to the Special Olympics, this week’s cover artist has covered a lot of ground

By Isaac Biehl

Edwards creates a variety of sculpture styles.

photographer. His photography actually helped improve his eventual sculpture skills, as Edwards found it would be much cheaper to frame his own photos instead of paying someone else to do it.

So, he purchased a welder and started to design his own frames.

In 2009, Edwards had some friends on the board at the Center on Contemporary Art in Seattle, Wash., who were starting a new show called “Heaven and Earth” that needed more artists. Edwards created “El Sol,”—a big turning point in his career, he now says. It was the stepping stone that led to the creation of “Perseus I,” a wind-powered kinetic sculpture that also uses solar powered LEDs. Edwards says CoCA became a huge part of his life.

He eventually became a board member for eight years, serving as both the vice president and president.

“I feel really lucky that I have been able to do what I do,” says Edwards, “because it really kind of happened overnight.”

These days, photography plays a big role in Edwards’ sculpture designs. When building his pieces, Edwards thinks a lot about the way the light will hit different parts. Light highlights different gradations in the art, and the steel allows him to visually “defy gravity” in a way.

His works can be giant interactive pieces (“Perseus I” stands over 22 feet high) or smaller accent pieces like “Moon Rock” or “Valence II.” Edwards primarily uses steel and glass, but he isn’t afraid to get a little outside of the box. For the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival in 2014, Edwards actually constructed a steel bed with interactive video and LEDs. “I might be working on four pieces in one day,” Edwards says of his process. “You’ll see something in one piece and be like, ‘this would be cool if we did that,’ and then like ‘but that doesn’t really work there,’ but I like that idea, so I’m going to take that idea – it’s kind of like they’re birthing each other.”

This flow of ideas can be a blessing

Biennial Artist Book Exhibition: Construction / Deconstruction A group show, currently on display at Bend Art Center, features an eclectic mix of work from a variety of artists who each interprets the idea of “books” in a unique way—including a variety of sculptural forms that step outside the traditional format. The show is made up of pen and ink illustrations from printed books, handmade books—including sculptural books that showcase a variety of forms—and even some more abstract ideas relayed in three-dimensional sculpture. The books themselves

and a curse. Sculptures need a certain space to be created and maintained, which can often be hard to come by.

With rent, time constraints and just general life, this can make for a pretty stressful environment.

“My whole sculpture career has been at borrowed shops. I’ve been this nomadic sculptor,” Edwards recalls.

“A tremendous amount of my life has been infrastructure right now. The building of my business and clients here, and art of whimsy, that stuff is all – it’s this carrot I keep dangling in front of myself.”

Since moving to Bend in January 2018, Edwards is feeling that carrot get closer and closer; his new life starting to grow. Following the creation of the Cauldron for the 2018 Special Olympics, a piece he titled “Hope Rising,” Edwards is excited to be showcasing it at this year’s Oregon WinterFest. It’s almost like his grand introduction into the community. Meantime, he has a shop in progress, designed specifically for his artistic needs. Safe to say he’s come a long way from PVC pipe.

Paul Alan Bennett: Night Skies

Paul Alan Bennett has been painting the skies of Central Oregon for over 25 years.

And who can blame him? They’re quite the inspiration. Recently, Bennett successfully funded a Kickstarter campaign to turn 44 of those images into a book. Bennett’s images are now on display at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon. Up through the end of February, view Bennett’s lyrical images of the skies over canyons and rivers and roadways—each revealing the inherent magic and mythology of the local landscape.

iguel Edwards made his first sculpture when he was around 5 years old. It wasn’t made from metal, or at the same scale he works with today, but it was definitely a big moment for Edwards’ artistic beginnings. His family had just moved to El Rito, N.M., working on building an adobe home and shop to fit their lifestyle. Deciding to let his son loose, Edwards’ father gave him a hacksaw and let him check out some of the plumbing materials, which led to the birth of a PVC pipe masterpiece.

You can’t technically be born an artist, but if you could, Edwards—whose work, “Hope Rising,” graces this week’s cover—is probably the closest you can get. Both of his parents, as well as various relatives, dabble in a variety of mediums, from painting to loom building to photography – and did I mention his dad is a mechanical and nuclear engineer? As evidenced, Edwards comes from a long line of critical thinkers.

“My parents didn’t really try to influence me too much. If I wanted to do this or try that, they were just encouraging of whatever that was,” recalls Edwards.

“Which was making toy guns and wooden swords for a long time.”

Once he got a little older, Edwards moved up to things like nunchucks.

His dad even showed him how to take a glossy magazine page and turn it into a personal blowgun—a piece of knowledge Edwards passed on to me while sitting at his kitchen table.

“We were more into developing the technology than we were into wreaking havoc,” jokes Edwards.

Along with designing and creating sculptures, Edwards is a renowned

The salad course was a palate cleanser: a layered popsicle of Greek salad, carrot and celery sorbet.

Dining Passport Series Begins

Drink Worthy Brewing specialty beers while taking your taste buds on a journey to Italy, Spain, Thailand and Peru. The four-part dining passport series includes five-course dinners paired with beer for $200. Two passports are $375, and single dinners for $65. Begins Feb. 22 at 6:30 pm with an Italian dinner featuring grilled New York strip with onion agrodulce, huckleberries, olive oil and crisp sunchokes paired with a Worthy Dopplebock, and an olive oil cake.

Japanese striped bass served four ways turned into theater as the dish billowed with dry ice.

probably wouldn’t have played with a meal blending the cuisines of Korea, Japan, China and India with those of Britain, France, Russia and Mexico. The James Beard Foundation’s Director of House Programming, Izabela Wojcik, was also on hand to promote the organization’s impact-oriented initiatives, including the Women’s Leadership Programs geared at addressing gender imbalance in the industry.

I tasted dishes I’ve never had and may never have again. Kim used the menu to wow guests with different tastes, visual tricks and unusual ingredients.

The meal started with an amuse bouche, a single bite to stimulate the palate, of a white chocolate sphere filled with crème fraiche and caviar dotted with a fresh flower petal. A kaiseki, or traditional multicourse Japanese dinner, turned into a single dish in which Japanese striped bass came raw, fried, grilled and cured with various seaweed on a long plate overflowing with dried ice. Homey Indian butter chicken was transformed into haute cuisine as a sliced chicken roulade, served with a single, tiny disc of naan. Flying ants were sprinkled like seasoning alongside sliced Iberico pork in a mole of cashews, chocolate and foie gras. A layered popsicle of tangy Greek salad, earthy carrot and cool celery sorbet served as a palate cleanser. The sorbet tasted exactly like Greek salad, but in liquified, frozen form.

Edgefield Makers Vintners Dinner

Candles melted into the coconut caramel sauce for the chocolate, sesame and espresso bundt cake.

The finale was the real pièce de resistance. Candles were lit. Kim, accompanied by Sous Chef Erik Barrin, assembled each plate of Mom’s chocolate, sesame and espresso bundt cake tableside, placing dishes in front of each guest. The chefs then picked up the candles and poured them onto the cake, revealing they’d been the coconut caramel sauce for the dessert. Fellow diners and I gasped in delight.

Wine flies when you’re enjoying a curated five-course dinner from Executive Chef Matthew Schumaker-Meyers at McMenamins Old St. Francis School. The vintner’s dinner will have Edgefield Wine Makers in attendance to share the secrets of favorite bottles produced at McMenamins’ Troutdale, Ore. winery. The menu starts with a celery root soup with candied bacon and gruyere cheese, then moves onto sausage stuffed heirloom tomatoes, endive and juniper ham gratin and roasted duck breast, and ends with mille-feuille, a stacked puff pastry.

e can blame—or thank—chefs Ferran Adria (El Bulli in Spain) and Thomas Keller (French Laundry in Napa Valley) for the rise in popularity of the tasting menu, a careful sequence of dishes served in smallish portions during a single meal. Recently I experienced the tasting menu at 5 Fusion & Sushi Bar, where Chef Joe Kim curated a menu with the theme, “America’s Culinary Melting Pot.” I left the delicious eight-course meal—10 if you include the amuse bouche and sorbet— with my stomach like a stuffed turkey at Thanksgiving.

I can see where Anthony Bourdain was coming from when he expressed mixed feelings toward tasting menus in his book, “Medium Raw.” He comically mused about attending one as a romantic experience. You stare at your sweetheart with breathless anticipation, but at the end of the dinner, Bourdain says your date is “counting the seconds till she can get away for a private moment or two and discreetly let loose with a backlog of painfully suppressed farts.” He goes on to say sexual athleticism dissolves well before the dessert course—but what he’s really getting at is that the time and sheer volume of food leaves one exhausted.

Instead of remembering each tasty morsel, you remember bits and pieces, but can’t forget how full or how drunk you were from the wine pairings. I can agree with Bourdain a little. Feeling stuffed, drunk and leaving with an overwhelmed palate is real, but then again, chefs need this type of outlet.

It’s no different than the artist who creates a popular style of artwork and has to keep producing the same genre.

Flowers are popular.

Gallerists only want flowers. But the artist wants to paint frogs.

Likewise, I’m sure chefs get sick of busting out the same dishes over and over—much like the rock star who has to sing their popular hit song again and again.

A tasting menu is a chef’s opportunity to explore and play, to step outside of their food genre. If it weren’t for a night like this recent James Beard Foundation benefit dinner, Kim

CRAFT Brew News:

BridgePort closing, pFriem expands

pFreim Family Brewers

by Nicole Vulcan

This artist's rendering shows the proposed pFriem expansion planned for Cascade Locks, 23 miles west of the current facility in Hood River.

B

eer enthusiasts often rejoice at the opening of new breweries, but those announcements can sometimes come with a downside: more competition. In the case of one of Oregon’s most established breweries, that competition proved to be too much to handle. BridgePort Brewing Company announced on its Facebook page Tuesday that it would be closing its doors, almost overnight.

The company announced it would “cease brew operations effective immediately, while the BridgePort Brew Pub will close effective March 10, 2019.”

The statement went on to say: “Back in April 2017, declining sales caused the brewery to restructure its operations.

However, sales and distribution continued declining in the extremely competitive craft beer market of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, which resulted in this final decision.”

BridgePort is among Oregon’s oldest existing craft breweries, started in 1984, the same year as Widmer Brothers Brewing, and just one year behind McMenamins, founded in 1983. Members of those breweries were instrumental in getting a bill passed through the Oregon legislature in 1985, allowing brewing and retail sales in the same location—thereby creating the brewpub culture Oregon enjoys today.

BridgePort’s move is one of several closures in Portland recently; Widmer Brothers Brewing closed its brewpub in late January. Portland Brewing—another longtime brewery, opened in 1986— closed its restaurant in November.

Northeast Portland’s Alameda Brewing Co. announced its closure in October.

pFriem Expanding One of Oregon’s most award-winning breweries is expanding. pFriem Family Brewers announced Feb. 4 that it would be expanding its existing brewery

in Hood River, as well as building a new facility in Cascade Locks, 23 miles west of the current facility. The moves are aimed at increasing production threefold, the company stated in a release, with the new Cascade Locks facility taking on the aging and packaging of all of pFriem’s barrel-aged beers. The Hood River facility will see more space for fermentation, a second brewhouse and a canning line. pFriem has seen explosive growth and a huge public response to its German, Belgian and Northwest-inspired beers since opening in 2012. In 2018, it was named the Mid-Size Brewing Company of the Year at the Great American Beer Festival, in addition to winning a host of medals in international and national brewing competitions.

Senators Push to Make Craft Beverage Act Permanent

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) have introduced legislation aimed at ensuring “the continued growth of America’s craft beverage industry.” The Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act would permanently cut taxes and modernize regulations for craft beverage producers.

Wyden and Blunt say the current rules and taxes in the industry are burdening the industry and making it harder for producers to compete. A version of the Act is already in place, but on a temporary basis.

“Making this temporary act permanent would help insure the long-term viability of the industry and thousands of small, family-owned businesses like ours,” said Gary Fish, founder of Deschutes Brewery, who’s also the former chairman of the Brewer’s Association Board of Directors.

hhh, February. The month in which folks in relationships remind me how blissfully happy they are on Instagram, while my mom reminds me that there’s still someone special out there for me by once again being the only one to send me a Valentine.

I also try to celebrate February’s Black History Month by focusing on watching films by black directors and writers, but that’s not always as easy as it should be. With that said, here are some of the podcasts and shows I’m in love with in February.

podcast “Dark Tank” and you’ll be forced to confront some of the weirdest and most disturbing examples of racism in 2018. The concept is just like “Shark Tank” except not even close: A panel of black writers and comedians are pitched solutions to racism by white folk. Exclusively. What at first seems like a snarky and brilliant look at institutionalized racism in modern society subtly morphs into a hilarious look at white privilege and fragility.

For those looking to spice up their February with some goofy, chest-heaving romance, “Bodice Tipplers” is a hilarious place to start. Two Southern librarians get drunk and dissect romance novels. They both love the genre, but aren’t above shredding it when the book

deserves it. Hearing them tear into the latest Danielle Steele as they cackle with glee is one of podcasting’s purest pleasures.

Bingeworthy: Watch shows with primarily black casts and creative teams so we get more shows with black casts and creative teams. Not just in February, but year-round. Doing that same thing with woman, minority and LGBTQ creative teams won’t just help these voices find audiences, but will also make us more well-rounded individuals.

The recently canceled “Luke Cage” had an almost entirely black creative team and “Jessica Jones” season two has an all-female directors’ roster, so hopefully this means Marvel is going to take more chances in the future.

Local Athletes Shred at X Games A recap of the big air and high finishes for local athletes

By David Sword

Snobike racer Darrin Mees Darrin Mees grew up in Long Island, N.Y., before eventually moving to Minnesota, where he became a professional snowmobile racer.

“During my racing career, we visited Central Oregon a few times and fell in love with it. We wanted to start a family and the decision to move was made,” says Mees. Without major sponsors, or a team, Mees carves out time to race as his schedule allows. He’s considered a privateer—one who races for the love of racing, without major sponsors. He holds a full-time job as a crane operator, is a father and husband, and works on his own equipment. Unlike the professional athletes who have huge budgets, physios, mechanics and race support, Team Mees consists of his wife, two

Snowboarder Ben Ferguson Darrin Mees of Redmond placed 4th in the recent 2019 Winter X Games, competing in the growing sport of snobiking.

Unlike the professional athletes who have huge budgets, physios, mechanics and race support, Team Mees consists of his wife, two daughters and a few close friends. daughters and a few close friends.

After years as a professional snowmobile racer, Mees moved into the growing sport of snobiking. A snobike is a two-wheeled dirt bike, transformed into a slim-looking snow machine. Companies including Timbersled and Moto Trax build conversion kits that turn dirt bikes into sleek, high-performance snow machines.

True to his DIY operation, Mees found that stock suspension systems were not to his liking, so he began tweaking designs in his garage. Eventually, he started a business, M9 Suspension.

“At the premier level of racing, suspension systems have to be totally dialed. I had gone out and invested over $4,500 on top shelf parts and had crappy results. My first go at suspension

In the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, Central Oregonians were glued to their seats as Bend local Ben Ferguson fought for a medal, eventually placing 4th, just shy of a bronze. At this year’s Winter X Games competition, Ferguson once again found himself in position for a top-level performance, but was edged out of the medals, landing in 6th place in the superpipe.

Ferguson was a legend long before winning a Silver Medal at the 2016 X Games in the superpipe competition.

He was not immediately available for an interview with the Source Weekly, but in an interview with Snowboarder, he said, “My dad taught me how to work hard. There’s no point in doing something if you’re not going to be trying your hardest. And it feels good when you work really hard and you accomplish something.”

building turned out pretty good, and as time went by, my designs improved.

Soon, my friends were asking me to build them systems, and it quickly became apparent that I should start a business,” says Mees. Since starting M9, Mees has seen much more consistency in his competition performances.

With back to back 4th-place finishes in the X Games, held Jan. 24 to 27, Mees has shown the world that natural talent and a burning desire to succeed have as much to do with high finishes as a big budget and fully sponsored team.

he brainchild of ESPN alchemists, the X Games has been a focal point for athletes in many disciplines including skateboarding, rock climbing, snowboarding and snowmobile racing since its inception in 1995. The games attract millions of viewers and the biggest names in their respective sports.

From Tony Hawk and Travis Pastrana, to Kelly Clark and Shaun White, the X Games have become as popular and important as a World Championship or Olympic event. During the most recent X Games event in Aspen, Colo., two local athletes, Ben Ferguson of Bend and Darrin Mees of Redmond, both made the finals but missed out on medals.

Green Building: A Smart Investment?

list price at that time around $400,000.

These homes included an upgrade in the exterior shell (insulation, framing, doors and windows), HVAC upgrades (heating, cooling, ERV, electrical and plumbing), solar PV (photovoltaics) and hot water. After state and federal rebates and tax deductions, the total added cost was $10,000 to $14,000— less than 5 percent of the sales price.

So now you have a slightly smaller green built home, completed for about the same price as a little larger, conventionally built home. What’s the resale value like? Based on recent studies, a green home will sell, dependent on the region, for 5 to 12 percent more than a conventionally built home and will be on the market for a shorter period of time. Green homes are sought out and are in more limited supply.

Retrofitting an already built home or building with some of the same upgrades is gaining in popularity, as well. Once payback for these upgrades is achieved, the property owner will benefit from reduced utility bills for the life of the systems and be rewarded with financial and energy security no matter what the future holds.

Green buildings are more comfortable, healthier, have higher resale value and lower total cost of ownership.

Regardless of the division in beliefs about the state of the planet, we can all get behind making smart investments and saving money.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 07 / FEBRUARY 14, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The mention of “green building” may invoke different thoughts, dependent on your beliefs of climate change. Doing better for environmental reasons has been one of the biggest motivators to stepping outside of conventional building techniques. However, building green is not only good for the earth; it can be very beneficial for the pocketbook as well. My goal here is to offer an alternative way to think about green building.

According to the World Green Building Council and Zero Energy Project websites, a home built using green building practices will likely have more initial upfront costs. This, of course, varies based on what systems are installed, which upgrades are made and the size of the home. You’re probably thinking, homes are already expensive, how can one afford those additional costs? Yet if costs of construction were $150 per square foot, designing a home that is 2,000 square feet instead of 2,300 square feet would potentially save $45,000. That small downsize would essentially pay for upgrades to a green, energy-efficient home. Plus, you’d begin seeing utility savings start on day one of ownership, meaning the cost of ownership over the years would end up being less than a conventional home.

A 2014 study published by the Zero Energy Project found that on average, a custom-built Net Zero Energy home in Oregon added an additional cost of around $51,000. These homes were around 1500 square feet, with an average

Nothing like rolling up to your guy’s band’s gig and having everybody be all “Mike, your mom’s here!”

As for these young whippersnappers’ intentions, chances are the only “aisle” they’re looking to walk down with you is the one from the front door to their bedroom in the pizza box graveyard-slash-apartment they share with a bunch of dudebros. Of course, men, just like women, can get to a point where they’re ready for cuddlyschmuddlywuddly forever—which is to say, a relationship. However, evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that there’s strong evidence from a good deal of research that men (who don’t have to worry that they’ll get pregnant from sex) evolved to “have a greater desire for short-term mating” — casual sex with a variety of partners.

Buss notes that there are some stumbling blocks for men in short-term mating mode. A major one is “the problem of avoiding commitment.” That’s where you older but still hot ladies sometimes come in. Older women are less likely to demand a relationship with an age-inappropriate partner. Of course, older women are also likely to be sexually experienced and sexually adventuresome in a way younger women aren’t.

And, unlike younger women, who are often shy about expressing what they want in bed, older women can stop just short of going all Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: “Faster, you maggot, faster!

And 3 millimeters up and a centimeter to the left!”

The thing is, sometimes two people with the most casual of sexual intentions unexpectedly fall for each other. But if you and the young hardbodies can stay in the sex-only lane, your having regular sex might help you take your time getting to know dates with real partner potential for you rather than flying right into bed. Finally—generally speaking—there’s the obvious plus in sex romps with the young Turks: fewer occasions when the manparts are like papier-mache fruit—for decorative purposes only.

The Bedder Business Bureau I’m a woman with a male business partner. He just got a new girlfriend, and he pretty much goes MIA whenever he goes to visit her. It can take him up to two days to return my phone calls, and I’ll have to call or text two or three times to get him to respond.

(I’m contacting him about business, not social stuff.) He is usually—well, used to be— very available by phone.

His disappearing act when he’s with the girlfriend is really annoying and detrimental to our business and, frankAmy Alkon ly, pretty disrespectful.

I’ve made jokes about it, but nothing’s changed. Help.

—Annoyed “Hello, Search and Rescue? Can you send out a team? I think my business partner is lost in his girlfriend’s pants.”

Tempting as it must be to blast your partner for constantly leaving you in the telephonic lurch, you’d be better off simply telling him that it feels really crappy to have your calls and texts go ignored for days; you feel disrespected. Research by social psychologist C. Daniel Batson and his colleagues suggests that we have an evolved motivation to try to alleviate others’ pain, to help other humans who are struggling emotionally (or are otherwise in need). However, there’s a caveat: If a person’s pain or need is expressed with an attack on our behavior, we’re likely to go into fight-back mode instead of “there, there, lemme see what I can do to make things better” mode.

As for why you have yet to get through to him, you write, “I’ve made jokes about it, but nothing’s changed.” Jokes are just the thing if you’re putting on a show with a two-drink minimum; not so much if you’re trying to communicate your needs (especially to a man). The same goes for hints. Instead, opt for healthy assertiveness—from the start. Figure out what you need—how soon you’d like to have a callback—and then express that.

You may not get exactly the timetable you want, but this at least opens up a discussion: “Call you back within three hours?” he responds—countering with “Ehh...how about five hours?” You should ultimately find this approach vastly more productive than going snarky and, say, suggesting that he and his girlfriend make love like they do in the movies—specifically, the video in which Paris Hilton answers the phone in the middle of having sex.

Got a problem? Write Amy Alkon, 171 Pier Ave. Suite 280, Santa Monica, CA 90405, or e-mail AdviceAmy@aol.com (advicegoddess.com).

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “A freshness

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to the Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology, the word “obsession” used to refer to the agitated state of a person who was besieged by rowdy or unruly spirits arriving from outside the person. “Possession,” on the other hand, once meant the agitated state of a person struggling against rowdy or unruly spirits arising from within. In the Western Christian perspective, both modes have been considered primarily negative and problematic. In many other cultures, however, spirits from both the inside and outside have sometimes been regarded as relatively benevolent, and their effect quite positive. As long as you don’t buy into the Western Christian view, I suspect that the coming weeks will be a favorable time for you to consort with spirits like those.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When directors of movies say, “It’s a wrap,” they mean that the shooting of a scene has been finished. They may use the same expression when the shooting of the entire film is completed. That’s not the end of the creative process, of course. All the editing must still be done. Once that’s accomplished, the producer may declare that the final product is “in the can,” and ready to be released or broadcast. From what I can determine, Aries, you’re on the verge of being able to say, “it’s a wrap” for one of your own projects.

There’ll be more work before you’re ready to assert, “it’s in the can.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to create your own royal throne and sit on it whenever you need to think deep thoughts and formulate important decisions.

Make sure your power chair is comfortable as well as beautiful and elegant. To enhance your ability to wield your waxing authority with grace and courage, I also encourage you to fashion your own crown, scepter, and ceremonial footwear. They, too, should be comfortable, beautiful, and elegant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1995, astronomer Bob Williams got a strong urge to investigate a small scrap of the night sky that most other astronomers regarded as boring. It was near the handle of the constellation known as the Big Dipper. Luckily for him, he could ignore his colleagues’ discouraging pressure.

That’s because he had been authorized to use the high-powered Hubble Space Telescope for a ten-day period. To the surprise of everyone but Williams, his project soon discovered that this seemingly unremarkable part of the heavens is teeming with over 3,000 galaxies. I suspect you may have a challenge akin to Williams’, Gemini. A pet project or crazy notion of yours may not get much support, but I hope you’ll pursue it anyway. I bet your findings will be different from what anyone expects.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): A study by the Humane Research Council found that more than eighty percent of those who commit to being vegetarians eventually give up and return to eating meat. A study by the National Institute of Health showed that only about 36 percent of alcoholics are able to achieve full recovery; the remainder relapse. And we all know how many people make New Year’s resolutions to exercise more often, but then stop going to the gym by February. That’s the bad news. The good news, Cancerian, is that during the coming weeks you will possess an enhanced power to stick with any commitment you know is right and good for you. Take advantage!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are there two places on earth more different from each other than Europe and Africa? Yet there is a place, the Strait of Gibralter, where Europe and Africa are just 8.7 miles apart. Russia and the United States are also profoundly unlike each other, but only 2.5 miles apart where the Bering Strait separates them. I foresee the a metaphorically comparable phenomenon in your life. Two situations or influences or perspectives that may seem to have little in common will turn out to be closer to each other than you imagined possible.

35 VOLUME 23 ISSUE 07 / FEBRUARY 14, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

lives deep in me which no one can take from me,” wrote poet Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. “Something unstilled, unstillable is within me; it wants to be voiced,” wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

In accordance with your astrological omens, I propose we make those two quotes your mottoes for the next four weeks. In my opinion, you have a mandate to tap into what’s freshest and most unstillable about you — and then cultivate it, celebrate it, and express it with the full power of your grateful, brilliant joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo basketball star Latrell Sprewell played professionally for 13 years.

He could have extended his career at least three more seasons, but he turned down an offer for $21 million from the Minnesota team, complaining that it wouldn’t be sufficient to feed his four children.

I will ask you not to imitate his behavior, Virgo. If you’re offered a deal or opportunity that doesn’t perfectly meet all your requirements, don’t dismiss it out of hand. A bit of compromise is sensible right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1992, an Ethiopian man named Belachew Girma became an alcoholic after he saw his wife die from AIDS. And yet today he is renowned as a Laughter Master, having dedicated himself to explore the healing powers of ebullience and amusement. He presides over a school that teaches people the fine points of laughter, and he holds the world’s record for longest continuous laughter at three hours and six minutes. I nominate him to be your role model in the next two weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you will be especially primed to benefit from the healing power of laughter. You’re likely to encounter more droll and whimsical and hilarious events than usual, and your sense of humor should be especially hearty and finely-tuned.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A study published in the journal Social Psychological and Personality Science suggests that people who use curse words tend to be more candid. “Swearing is often inappropriate but it can also be evidence that someone is telling you their honest opinion,” said the lead researcher. “Just as they aren’t filtering their language to be more palatable, they’re also not filtering their views.” If that’s true, Scorpio, I’m going to encourage you to curse more than usual in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, it’s crucial that you tell as much of the whole truth as is humanly possible. (P.S. Your cursing outbursts don’t necessarily have to be delivered with total abandon everywhere you go. You could accomplish a lot just by going into rooms by yourself and exuberantly allowing the expletives to roll out of your mouth.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In the mid1980s, a California carrot farmer grew frustrated with the fact that grocery stories didn’t want to buy his broken and oddly shaped carrots. A lot of his crop was going to waste. Then he got the bright idea to cut and shave the imperfect carrots so as to make smooth little baby carrots. They became a big success. Can you think of a metaphorically comparable adjustment you could undertake, Sagittarius? Is it possible to transform a resource that’s partially going to waste? Might you be able to enhance your possibilities by making some simple modifications?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Mongolia is a huge landlocked country. It borders no oceans or seas. Nevertheless, it has a navy of seven sailors.

Its lone ship is a tugboat moored on Lake Khovsgol, which is three percent the size of North America’s Lake Superior. I’m offering up the Mongolian navy as an apt metaphor for you to draw inspiration from in the coming weeks. I believe it makes good astrological sense for you to launch a seemingly quixotic quest to assert your power, however modestly, in a situation that may seem out of your league.

County Board vs. Marijuana: Axes are grinding

by Jeremy Dickman

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 14, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

38

R

ookie Deschutes County Commissioner Patti Adair, sworn in last month, got to take her first crack at blocking a marijuana grow land-use permit application during deliberations in a business meeting Jan. 30, alongside Board Chair Phil Henderson. (Commissioner Tony DeBone was not present for the deliberations.)

The applicants, who are proposing a grow off of Dodds Road in east Deschutes County, submitted their application before Adair was a county commissioner. Adair was a commissioner-elect, but not yet sworn in during the Dec. 18 appeals hearing on this farm, where neighbors objected to the application for reasons including noise, odor and location. Adair was in the audience during the Dec. 18 hearing, however, and Henderson raised no objections against having her deliberate on the application.

Her first on-the-record remarks were rather inauspicious. She implied the applicants were untruthful about their application by claiming that they planned to use 30,000 gallons of water annually (they had apparently listed a higher number in the written application). This observation was hardly material, and had nothing to do with language in the Deschutes County Code, which merely requires applicants to provide documentation proving that a water provider can, and will, serve their farm.

“You want people, when they’re applying for a marijuana grow, to be truthful,” she said, referring to the disparity in water volume.

This sort of complaint about cannabis grow applications is more commonly heard during citizen testimony by folks who have little (or zero) knowledge of the Deschutes County Code.

Anything from general concern about children smoking pot, to worries about “cartel” activity, to gripes about “riff raff” are frequently brought before the Board, placated, and usually dismissed as irrelevant.

Now, one of these citizen laypeople is on the Board. Even Henderson, who has never met a marijuana application he couldn’t deny, pushed back on Adair’s claim that the water-volume issue was a “modification,” which would trigger a requirement that the change be submitted in writing during the record period.

Adair, a climate-change denier who once said the Mount St. Helens eruption in 1980 made the weather nicer in Seattle, also weighed in on the applicant’s ionization device. Adair boldly asserted that these types of odor-control devices would cause “health complications,” and claimed

that they “aren’t effective” in eliminating odor. She didn’t verbally identify her source for such claims, which would directly contradict the licensed Oregon mechanical engineer’s opinion included with the application.

County counsel strongly encouraged the Board not to submit any new “scientific” reports for the record at such a late juncture. Adair said her source article was published in 2015.

Ultimately, Commissioners Adair and Henderson didn’t deny the application based on water usage or odor control. The deciding issue had to do with the grow’s proximity to a “youth activity center.” Code language prohibits marijuana businesses from existing within 1,000 feet of schools, licensed day cares, and any “youth activity centers,” a term not defined in the code. A previous application that was within 1,000 feet of an unlicensed 4H activity center had been approved when Commissioner DeBone and former Commissioner Tammy Baney overruled Henderson’s objection to the grow.

In this case, the proposed grow would be near a residence where the owner’s children are home-schooled, and where the parents led “equestrian activities.”

Adair noted that children were present in photos on their website, all of them on horses, wearing helmets, the latter fact somehow offered to justify the for-profit business’s official nature.

“They are seriously engaged in working with the youth of Deschutes County,” said Adair.

Henderson attempted to literally define a “youth activity center” during deliberations as “a place where youth are active, and it’s centered there.” It’s hard to imagine a glibber legal definition of a statutory term, made all the more galling when you realize Henderson actually has legal training.

Adair then suggested county staff visit the website where “you can see what they are offering the youth.” Adair rattled off the URL: “Rhinestone Ranch dot com.” (The actual website, which includes a fee schedule for horse-riding lessons, is rhinestoneranchbend.com.)

The applicants argued that the ranch has no permitting, and offers training for adults as well as children. Adair and Henderson brusquely dismissed these written counter-arguments by the applicant.

We don’t know if DeBone, had he been present or phoned in, would’ve swayed Henderson or Adair to reconsider. What we can expect, however, is that every marijuana grow application from here on out may be tap-dancing around a pretty loose definition of “youth activity center.”
