TREE ORDINANCE NEEDED

IN RESPONSE TO THE WEDDING ISSUE (2/4) With special interest I read the Wedding issue. My son was married 10 years ago in a local park in Bend. He and his bride-to-be planned a non-traditional wedding, focused on their active, outdoor lifestyle. The celebration began the day before with all of the family being treated to white water rafting on the Deschutes River. This was very special since some of the guests had never had this sort of a river experience. The groom, the bride, and a friend were the river guides. The next day, everyone met in the park, where the day began with drinks and a rowdy game of croquet. The four black dogs, all shampooed and decked out with purple ribbons romped around the park. Later, one would serve as ring bearer. A catered meal was served, and the happily fed guests were then ready for the ceremony. No one was wishing the ceremony would get on, so they could eat! For a photo op, the bride and groom circled the guests on a tandem bike. All guests then proceeded to the club house and were treated to live music, dancing, and a photo show. A great time was had by all, and I have yet to attend a wedding which was more fun.

I never imagined community members would begin to log our neighborhood. What is most disturbing is that—as a neighbor—one is not notified that the trees are coming down. No proposed-action signage is necessary. You just hear the chain saws and then within four or five hours the neighborhood is changed forever. At that point there is nothing one can do as the historic trees, up to 100-years-old, are gone.

The only regret is that the bride now wishes she would have chosen a more traditional gown.

TROY FIELD PUBLIC HEARING Troy Field is a treasure in the heart of Bend.

If we don’t act now, it will be lost for all future generations. The Bend La-Pine School District owns Troy Field, and has determined that it is “surplus” and would like to sell it to a developer for $1.9M. The City Council must change the zoning on the property from “Public Facilities” to “Limited Commercial” in order to do so. The city council will decide this after hearing public comments Wednesday, Feb 24, 4 pm in the Municipal Court Room, 555 NE 15th St. I attended the last public hearing, for which independent Hearings Officer Kenneth Helm was hired by the City to hear testimony and provide a recommendation, based upon review of the applicable law. More than 80 people attended, the vast majority in opposition to the change. At first, the task seemed daunting – the district hired one of the top law firms in Bend, Bryant, Lovlien and Jarvis, to represent it, and had Bend’s Planning Department present in favor. Public testimony against these resources seemed like David fighting Goliath—most of us figured Mr. Helm’s decision was a foregone conclusion. It wasn’t. On Jan. 29, Mr. Helm provided his 42 page recommendation to City Council to deny the application for the zone

change based on two issues: 1) BDC 4.6.300.B.2: “A person or agency proposing a change has the burden to demonstrate a public need and benefit for the change.”

2) BDC 4.6.300.B.4 requires the applicant to “provide evidence of a change in the neighborhood or community that justifies the Plan Amendment.”

The neighborhood, Helm found, has remained relatively stable over the past 100 years, while the district’s needs have changed. ~Suzie Newcome

PRUDENT ALLOCATION OF FUNDING A BETTER ANSWER I agree with Councilor Chudowski’s assessment of the road repair issue. To date, the city councilors of Bend have failed the residents and tax payers in Bend relative to the prudent allocation of funding.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Bill - Your letter indicates that you read the Source’s endorsement of the gas tax last week despite your own opposition to it. City Council member Victor Chudowski very graciously provided the Source with an interview and also the report of the independent consultant hired to advise the city. Councilor Chudowski’s concern about fund allocation is prudent. Even so, the gas tax would capture additional revenue from more than 2 million tourists who visit Bend annually and use the roads. Please continue the conversation with a cup of coffee on us.

Hemp Legislation - It’s Time

H

emp sails brought Europeans to the new world. The Puritans grew it. George Washington grew it.

Thomas Jefferson grew it. The Declaration of Independence was drafted on it. Covered wagons were made of it.

U.S. currency was printed on it. During World War II, the U.S. government even launched a “Hemp for Victory” campaign. So what in the world happened that made hemp an outlaw crop in the U.S.?

Hemp is classified as marijuana under the 1970 Controlled Substances Act that made it illegal, even though it is not a recreational drug. The difference between hemp and marijuana is that hemp has a THC potency of less than one percent and is not psycho-active.

Hemp has broad industrial applications and can be used as a textile, bio-fuel, medicine, building material or food. Hemp seeds contain high levels of protein that can be used to make everything from flour to milk to veggie burgers. The U.S. hemp market reached $620 million in 2014, according to the non-profit Hemp Industries Association, using data compiled from conventional retailers such as Costco.

Presumably, most of that hemp was imported from other countries since hemp cultivation is still illegal in the U.S. under federal law.

Oregon was one of the first states to see the bizarre nature of making hemp

illegal to cultivate, yet legal to import, use and sell. Hemp farming became legal in Oregon in 2009, but barriers to cultivation and research slowed progress due to the federal ban and interpretation of the state law by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

The Oregon Farm Bureau supports HB 4060 in the Oregon Legislature and the bill has passed the House and moved to the Senate. One of the key areas of interest to growers is in section 5 of the bill: A grower registered under ORS 571.305 may use any propagation method, including planting seeds or starts or the use of clones or cuttings, to produce industrial hemp. The bill would also make it legal to grow hemp in greenhouses.

On Feb. 2, an “Industrial Hemp Expo and Conversation” was held on Capitol Hill, sponsored by Oregon’s Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Earl Blumenauer. “If it’s legal to buy hemp products in Oregon, it ought to be legal for farmers to grow hemp in Oregon,” Wyden said.

“Today’s ‘Hemp on the Hill’ Expo showed just some of the vast potential of the hemp industry, and I’m going to be working to build on the increasing momentum to pass the bipartisan Industrial Hemp Farming Act and lift the ban on industrial hemp farming in our country,” Wyden said.

affordable medicine.

“For cardholders, this bill would mean expanded access to their medicine at affordable prices. As more and more OMMP dispensaries transition to the retail market, it will be more difficult for cardholders to find places to purchase

stores.” The bill is currently in the Joint Committee on Marijuana Regulation.

SB 1598: Small growers’ exemption Senate Bill 1598 would allow small grow-

SB 1524: Medical Waiver for 100% Disabled veterans

Sen. Burdick adds that SB 1598 will help regulate the medical marijuana market, which she says was previously a conduit for flow of marijuana into the black market. “Marijuana is used in hospice settings; it’s used for pain; it’s used for veterans who suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. We want to make sure as we make the transition to a legalized market that we don’t leave the patients behind, that we take care of their needs, because many of them are not just medically vulnerable but low income.” The Joint Committee On Marijuana Legalization is examining the bill.

Senate Bill 1524 calls to allow permanently disabled veterans to forego annual medical exams required to retain their medical marijuana cards. The bill passed in the Senate and Rep. John Huffman [R-The Dalles] spoke in support of the bill. “I have a constituent in Crooked River Ranch, Stewart Steinberg, who is a Vietnam Veteran Services Officer,” says Rep. Huffman. “Last year, on behalf of Stu, I worked with Oregon Health Authority to get a reduction in the annual fee for a Medical Marijuana Card for 100 percent disabled veterans.” He says veterans were paying $200, but then the amount was reduced to $20 annually.

HB 4060: Hemp farming regulations House Bill 4060, which clarifies and makes changes to the existing hemp farming regulations, passed in the House.

Courtney Moran, an attorney with Earth Law in Portland, says the federal ban on industrial hemp production exists under the Controlled Substances Act because “marijuana is defined as all cannabis sativa; therefore, the DEA [Drug Enforcement Administration] and DOJ [Department of Justice] have interpreted that as to include industrial hemp.” Moran notes that Oregon legalized industrial hemp back in 2009 with Senate Bill 676.

“This year, Stu brought to my attention that 100 percent permanent and totally disabled veterans, according to their VA rating, are required to see a physician every year to get a statement for renewal of their Medical Marijuana Card,” Huffman says. “This narrow and specific veteran population already see their VA physicians regularly because of the nature of their total disability; however, because of federal law their VA physician cannot attest to their need for marijuana use,” Rep. Huffman explains.

HB 4132: No tax on medical marijuana House Bill 4132 “specifies that marijuana retailer may not collect tax from consumer of marijuana item if consumer is registry identification cardholder or designated primary caregiver who is purchasing marijuana item for registry identification cardholder.” Rep. Ken Helm [D-Washington County], says he sponsored the bill to protect Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP)-patient access to

This will make it easier for them to get that previous conviction expunged.”

Oregon’s few industrial hemp farmers ran into issues with regulated field sizes and the facilities in which they could grow hemp. “The Oregon Department of Justice interpreted the statute to require farmers to direct seed into a field that was 2.5 acres or larger,” she says. “That interpretation goes against what a lot of the farmers and I had interpreted the law to mean,” she says.

SB 1565-A: Local governments may provide property tax exemption

Rob Sisk, president of Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 503, a union of 55,000 workers in care facilities and

The Oregon Senate Republican Office announced that Senate Bill 1565-A passed in the Senate saying the bipartisan bill will help “to empower local governments to attract and retain small and family businesses.” According to the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue, the bill “allows county or city, by ordinance or resolution, to provide property tax exemption or deferral for newly constructed or installed industrial improvements with cost of initial investment of at least $1 million.”

“We want to make sure as we make the transition to a legalized market that we don’t leave the patients behind, that we take care of their needs, because many of them are not just medically vulnerable, but low income.”

-Sen. Ginny Burdick

After the Senate voted 16 to 12 in favor of the bill, Causa Executive Director Andrea Miller released a statement saying, “It can get lost after hours of testimony, but the basis for raising the wage is pretty simple: if you work full-time you should be paid enough to afford the basics.

In the coming days, we’ll be pushing legislators to recognize that all workers

While low-wage workers continue to struggle to make ends meet, the corporations that depend on them are receiving $1.7 billion in subsidies from taxpayers.”

“This bill is a practical step toward cutting red tape and restoring the ability of local governments to incentivize businesses to locate in rural areas, grow and create good jobs,” said Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli [R-John Day]. “Oregon already provides similar incentives to attract large businesses. Extending these incentives to apply to small and family businesses is a vote of confidence for the businesses that provide good, family-wage jobs in struggling communities,” he said.

Over the past production season 11 licensed hemp farmers maintained their licenses, nine farmers planted and five had a viable crop, according to Moran.

Hemp farmers have also faced expensive testing fees because the Department of Agriculture has to take a two-pound sample to ensure that marijuana is not being grown. One farmer in Silverton was charged $850 for his testing and inspecting and another farmer in Grants Pass was charged $1,800, “which is very cost prohibitive for the farmers,” she says. “This bill allows farmers to use the labs that are accredited by the Oregon Health Authority and licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to do that same testing.”

lature comes to an end, both the Senate and the House approved a major bill.

Senate Bill 1532 would gradually raise the minimum wage over the next six years to $14.75 in Portland, $13.50 in Hood River, Wasco, Deschutes, Jackson and Josephine counties as well as the Willamette Valley, and $12.50 per hour in rural counties.

tion. The cannabis plant grows wild in many climates, hence the nickname weed. It’s also known as grass, marijuana, pot, ganga and bud, among other names.

It is made from the dried flowers and leaves of the cannabis plant. There is a broad range of THC (delta-9

tetrahydro-cannainol) content to be found in legal cannabis, from the non-psychoactive hemp, with less than one percent THC, to high-THC marijuana, above 20 percent. For those interested in home growing, dispensary products, THC and extraction techniques, the following articles will be of special interest, with thanks to local cannabis businesses for providing interviews.

and personal preferences. Again, however Bloom Well and honorable mention Jolly's had the most in-depth information regarding products available to both medical and recreational marijuana

Photo by Angela Moore Photo courtesy of Bloom Well

Bloom Well, Oregrown, and Dr. Jolly's share a few things in common, but each has differentiating qualities so that they stand apart from each other. First off, each dispensary spoke very passionately about the importance of making each person who enters their doors as comfortable as humanly possible. Many people still have a lingering feeling of uneasiness as the legality of marijuana, both medically and recreationally, is still relatively new. It’s like going through a metal detector at an airport: There is nothing to be afraid of, but then again, is there a kilo strapped to my leg? Bloom Well certainly stood out amongst the flock as making comfort a strong priority. Head honcho Jeremy Kwit says that he and his staff, “…want each person to feel more relaxed and more comfortable from the moment they approach to the moment they leave.”

Another shared priority amongst this group is education. More importantly, proper education on benefits as well as dosages. Oregrown has a cheat-sheet of its product contents that is available to

ince Oct. 1, 2015, the state of Oregon has allowed medical marijuana dispensaries the option of selling marijuana to adults age 21-and-over who do not possess a state-issued medical marijuana card. This was a historical step in the acceptance of recreational use of cannabis not only for Oregonians, but also for the country as a whole. Currently there are 18 dispensaries in Bend, and this number is expected to keep growing.

The Source was able to sit down with three of these companies to discuss the products that they offer to both medical cardholders as well as those who use marijuana recreationally.

customers. Those working there were well-advised on their bud knowledge, the THC and CBD content of each product

users.

Melissa Johnson, of Bloom Well, discussed each product, its effects, and the

recommended dosage. Steve Layton, a manager at Jolly's, also deserves a tip of the hat for his passion and enthusiasm in spreading cannabis knowledge. This might have something to do with both dispensaries getting either, all, or at least half of their product from outside vendors. The education of their staffs must stay up-to-date, while Oregrown supplies its own product and therefore the information is always at hand.

Oregrown, according to co-owner Hunter Neubauer, is the only cannabis company in Oregon that controls all aspects of the product, from “grow to display.” Neubauer says the advantage of this method is knowing for sure that all products are organically grown to Oregrown’s standards.

Consistently high product standards proved to be a common theme across all three dispensaries interviewed. Each company expressed the essential requirement of quality and safe cannabis.

None of the dispensaries interviewed had anything positive to say about the synthetic designer drug Spice, also known as synthetic cannabinoid, which mimics the effects of cannabis when sprayed onto herbal base material. Quite the opposite, actually. All three dispensaries warned of the dangers of not knowing what is actually being consumed. Spice is not sold in any of these stores and medical staff should be thankful for this lack of availability in dispensaries.

annabis concentrates come in many forms and are all very potent, reaching upward of 70 percent THC by weight on average with nearly 100 percent pure THC for some products now commercially available. Compared to 25 percent THC by weight for top-shelf flower, one can quickly understand how a very small amount of concentrate goes a long way.

Butane honey oil (BhO) is an oleoresin (semi-solid extract) of cannabis and is obtained by exposing plant material to a food grade solvent such as butane, propane, or a blend, and collecting what is left behind after all solvent has evaporated. Created as a medicine to be safer and more potent, BhO is arguably the most common and readily available form of cannabis concentrate. Having a pronounced flavor, it can be consumed in edibles, beverages, and vaporized for inhalation.

Live resin is produced in a very similar process to BhO with the main caveat being that the cannabis plant material is frozen immediately after harvest and remains frozen during the extraction process. This practice is said to be better for preserving the flavor and aroma compounds known as terpenes.

Accessing safe, clean, and ethically made cannabis concentrates from a trusted source is essential, because improper extraction practices may introduce harmful contaminates that remain in the finished product. Dean Rodgers with Cascade Botanical & Golden Delicious Extracts provides facts about the ethical and safe creation of BhO. Rodgers recommends a closed-loop

food grade stainless steel extraction system and the use of a vacuum oven to purge off all residual solvent before consumption. “Closed loop extraction allows for the creation of BhO by safely containing and recapturing all of the solvent used in the process. This makes it safe for the qualified operators and for the environment while reducing extraction cost,” he says. “Obtaining clean source material free of harmful pesticides and fertilizers is the number one priority when creating safe and effective BhO.” Vacuum oven purging allows for the preservation of terpenes while removing all solvent by lowering boiling temperatures.

When it comes to gold-standard extraction equipment, Bizzy Bee Extractors is front of mind and Boris Kogon (coe-ghen) is the man to consult. Kogon explains in plain language the principles of physics that drive the extraction process inside each of his systems. “Thermodymagic,” as Kogon likes to refer to it, allows the Beest Extractor to operate without the use of recovery pumps for quick, passive, and safe recovery of solvent. Each Beest is constructed using food grade hardware, aerospace welding techniques, and obtains the best results when medical grade solvent is used in the extraction process.

Pure distilled THC and other pure cannabis distillates are the direction that concentrates are heading. Kogon explained that boiling off whole cannabis extract and capturing just the pure cannabinoids desired create these distillates, which are some of the most potent forms of cannabis available today.

OIHFA SUPPORTS HB 4060 Hemp farmers see more potential

By Bruce Meland

T

Industrial hemp is non-intoxicating and must contain no more than .03 percent Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The existing law requires growers to cultivate industrial hemp in fields no smaller than 2.5 acres. HB 4060 authorizes the cultivation of industrial hemp in fields, plots, or buildings, without the 2.5-acre requirement. The bill also provides for labs accredited by the Oregon Health Authority and licensed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to conduct testing on industrial hemp and industrial hemp commodities or products.

Industrial hemp was legalized in Oregon

in 2009. OIHFA members and other growers expect to grow at least 200 acres of industrial hemp in 2016. Some of the

processed hemp seed and oils will be sold for food and cosmetic products. Hemp stalks will be separated into long stringy

bast fiber for clothing, composites, auto body parts, batteries, and paper, among other uses. The shorter, inner pithy fiber or hurd, will be sold for animal bedding, kitty litter, building materials, hempcrete, absorbent materials for oil and liquid spills on land or water and hundreds of other uses. There is a good chance HB 4060 will be passed by the Senate.

Due to some quirky rule Oregon processors cannot use industrial hemp stalks, stems or leaves for medical purposes.

Canada has a similar quirky rule. Some states allow hemp parts to be used for medical purposes. This more profitable industrial hemp use will likely be addressed in the next Legislature.

Oregon farmer Bruce Meland, 76, is editor-publisher of Electrifying Times and author of marijuanainthegardenofeden.com an e-book about marijuana and hemp. He is an advocate of hemp for medicinal purposes. He can be

HOME GROWN HORTICULTURE Seedlings in the suburbs

By Angela Moore

G

rowing from home is not just for tomatoes and flowers anymore.

With the recent changes in the law for both medical and recreational marijuana, many people are opting to try out their green thumbs, clearing out their garages and yards to make room for a new type of homegrown adventure.

One important thing about growing at home is that there is a lot of information out there, almost too much. With the acceptance of marijuana continuing to evolve, the methods, laws, products, and extraction procedures are evolving as well.

With all that in mind, here are some basics of a small grow operation with a little input from local commercial cannabis company, NW Kind.

The number of plants and size of the operation will change costs and legal requirements, so keep that in mind when deciding which route to take, all while being diligent in staying current with the laws of our state. OK? It is the responsibility of the individual to stay informed of the law. More information on rules and regulations can be found online, since after all, it is 2016. [Oregonlegislature. gov/bills_laws] The Source spoke to the highly informa-

tive, obviously enthusiastic, and all-around pretty awesome guy: Rick Gilliland, office manager of The Hemp and Cannabis Foundation (THCF), about the proper steps in obtaining a medical marijuana card in the state of Oregon. Having a card allows for more plants (as well as a wider range of products that may be purchased in dispensaries). Once all ducks are in a row, then the real setup work can begin.

It seems everyone has an opinion and preferred method of growing, whether it be indoor, outdoor, in soil, hydroponic, or greenhouse. One thing many can agree on, though, is the importance of Jorge Cervantes’ book: “Marijuana Horticulture The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower’s Bible.” It’s a good place to start. The book was written 10 years ago, but still is referred to as a founding text in the grow world.

Expect a pretty hefty initial startup cost for hydroponic growing lights, soil, nutrients, pumps, mylar, temperature control and other items that are necessary. Used equipment to grow a few plants will run about $500, but for those contemplating a medicinal marijuana growing business, consider $10,000 the entry point and up to $30,000 is not unlikely.

Finding the right seeds for a grow is also important. NW Kind has been growing medical marijuana for seven years and Product Specialist David LaFlamme points out that, “Seeds and clones are also now readily available from breeders through dispensaries and online sales outlets.”

The daily, weekly, monthly upkeep of a grow, says LaFlamme, “is truly an art form.” He talks passionately about being able to nurture a plant to achieve the greatest possible outcome and finds the progression of each one rewarding to see.

Even as a part-time gig, the amount of time spent in maintaining a garden involves physical participation and an investment in knowledge. Remember: The harder the effort, the higher the reward.

ariachi Sol de Mexico is a 13-piece band that plays the traditional sounds and experiences of Mexico. This genre of music is said to have originated in the 19th century in the southern state of Jalisco and is a mostly male-dominated style of music. In a culture that is very much patriarchal, it is said that while the women did their part to create the family meal, the men would be in charge of the entertainment.

Time and gender-role shifting in today’s world has opened up opportunities to women. However, most of the music that is still written predominantly refers to the struggles that men face with women, love, politics and revolutions, both current and

S

of folklore.

If the word “mariachi” does not ring a bell, surely the band’s matching performance ensembles would. All members of a group, including Mariachi Sol de Mexico, wear traditional hats usually peppered with colorful lace or accented puffs. Embroidery within their attire is also a staple. These “charro suits,” as they are called, are the preferred uniform amongst bands in this genre. Another distinguishing trait commonly associated with this style of music is the number of members or instruments, which make up the group. In reference to this, the motto is, “the more, the merrier.”

Mariachi Sol De Mexico stands out from the crowd by creating near-perfect mariachi music. Leader Jose Hernandez holds the group to high standards that led the mariachi band to go platinum and be nominated for a Grammy. Together since 1981, Mariachi Sol de Mexico is much more than just a concert. They play with their heart, with their traditions and with their passion. It is an authentic cultural experience that should not be missed. SW Mariachi Sol de Mexico March 8, 7:30 p.m.

Bringing New Orleans to Bend Join the Bumper Jacksons on the second line

By Jared Rasic

The Bumper Jacksons have a classic sound that spreads all the ways from the Appalachian holler traditional to smoky jazz club juke joints. The 2014 release, “Sweet Mama, Sweet Daddy, Come In,” showcases exactly what makes The Bumper Jacksons special in an ever-saturated market of jazzy, blues infused, old-timey crowd pleasers. One major thing that is refreshing about the record is that everyone in the band is given plenty of room to show what they bring to the table, with the 13 tracks expanding across multiple genres.

Jess Eliot Myhre’s crisply warm vocals infuse each of the tracks, reminding this listener of the depth of Jolie Holland combined with the jazzy lushness of Mildred Bailey. Her vocals on tracks like “Darkness on the Delta” and “Tippy Toe Sam” sound remarkably modern while retaining a sense of controlled ease that permeated so many records of the 1920s and ‘30s.

Chris Ousley’s guitar and vocals on

re-emerging so heavily over the last few years. However, it’s the duets of Brian Priebe’s trombone and Myhre’s clarinet that give the album it’s murky and smoky soul.

The Bumper Jacksons at Sisters High School, 2/27.

“Kicking the Bucket Over You” add a deceptively simple country and western style that peeks in throughout the album, highlighted by Dave Hadley’s assured pedal steel guitar. Dan Samuel’s drums and Alex Lacquement’s stand-up bass flawlessly bring each track back home to that American roots sound that has been

The Bumper Jackson’s aren’t content to rest on their laurels and will keep pushing their influences past the breaking point into something transcendent and breathtaking. Myhre has a history with church music and spent time in New Orleans with street bands and second lines. Ousley studied the banjo in Western Pennsylvania while traveling through abandoned steel and coal towns. Lacquement took his two degrees in music education and applied it to old-time string bands which eventually led him to his structured, yet trippingly jazzy style with The Bumper Jacksons.

Trailer 31’s debut album, “Back to Oregon,” is the most basic definition of what makes music so great.

Many people get stuck in a music rut, too stubborn to expand their horizons, while others thrive off of the newest sounds from the newest bands in the smallest towns.

Whichever preference or position taken, “Back to Oregon” will call to the soul of anyone who has ever roamed too far from the goodness of home.

Trailer 31 is a local band with a modern folk sound. Joel Chadd plays guitar, banjo, and percussion. Standup bass, harmonica, and guitar are mastered by Jason Chinchen. Dustin Byers rounds off the band with his talent on banjo, percussion and the fiddle. The obvious talent of the trio can be felt across every track and the lyrics and music were written via mutual effort. Byers, also known as “Teach,” and Chadd combined their experience and talent to design and execute all 10 original songs on the album.

Each track carries a message of a relatable, simpler life that can only be found in our beloved Oregon. The physical feelings and emotions that can be experienced from each plucked note on this album defy explanation. Appropriately enough, Trailer 31 has a saying for a tongue left tied: “Where words leave off, music begins.”

For the sake of those virgin to their sound, for the sake of those who have been fans from the start and for the sake of music altogether, let us hope that this is just the beginning for Trailer 31. Bend music lovers may one day look back and brag about knowing of this small local group, destined to be a nationwide obsession. SW

BOOK REVIEW

By Jared Rasic

By Angela Moore 31

“L

egendary Locals of Bend” is filled to the brim with some amazing history.

Every page focuses on a different person that shaped the community of Bend in ways subtle or massive. Many of these stories come as a complete surprise.

The book was compiled by Les Joslin, past president of the Board of Directors of the Deschutes County Historical Society and a fellow of the High Desert Museum.

isa See is looking forward to coming to Bend to talk about her latest and past books on Thursday, Feb. 25 as a part of the Author! Author! Literary Series put on by the Deschutes County Library. For $25, readers and enthusiasts alike can experience a rare look inside the mind of a best-selling author. See has written many hits such as "China Dolls," "Dragon Bones" and "Shanghai Girls," just to name a few.

It’s easy to see that See has a theme, a rather unique one, and unexpected. This French-born, American-raised, author writes (mostly) from a Chinese-born perspective.

Growing up she had heard stories and had been around the culture and people, but when she could actually experience what her family had been telling her all along, she became enamored. This is what she would write about. This had become her world.

See, like so many Americans, doesn’t come from a strictly Anglo background. Her great-great-grandfather came from a tiny town in the Guangdong Province called Dimtao.

In 1905, Bend’s first major fire took out O’Kane’s Saloon on the corner of Bond and Oregon Streets. Volunteers fought the blaze with wet blankets, saving the rest of downtown. Later that year, Bend got its first fire hydrants, but it wasn’t until 1919 and the arrival of Tom Carlton that the city council formed the Bend Fire Department. He remained the fire chief from 1919 until he died in 1943.

Under his leadership, Bend’s fire department became a modern one with motorized fire apparatuses and an American LaFrance Pumper.

She homesteaded in Brothers, Ore., in 1914, then sold her claim and built a house on Franklin Avenue in Bend, where she provided stew and coffee to “Gentlemen of the Road,” while also bringing doughnuts to the Bend Fire Department.

In the same place, he built the O’Kane Building, which was then the largest retail space downtown with six stores, 20 offices and a movie theater.

He was known to regale customers with his tales of adventure until he eventually moved to Portland and passed away in 1930. In 2016, the O’Kane Building is still standing and considered by some to be very haunted. SW

All Good Things

Artist Katie Daisy is wild and free

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 20 ISSUE 08 / February 25, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Readers can find inspiration on every page of Katie Daisy's book, "How to be a Wildflower." Photos courtesy of Katie Daisy.

A

few years ago I met a gal. I was officiating a wedding and she was the maid of honor. It was my birthday, so after the ceremony we went downtown to get some drinks and ended up hitting it off swimmingly. Much later that night, we found ourselves in Tin Pan Alley, drunkenly stumbling through the town looking for some shenanigans to get into. A few moments later we were standing in front of the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection, specifically a beautiful painting of a quote from Henry David Thoreau that said “All Good Things Are Wild and Free.” We laughed at how true that was for us in the moment and shared our first kiss under that painting as the cool September air blew around us. It was magical.

She and I didn’t stay together, but it was a relationship helped by the magic of that kiss under that painting. I always told myself I would thank the painter when I got a chance and now I finally have the chance. All of Katie Daisy’s art has the power to enrapture its viewers, if not with the quote or saying that she is working with, then with the deceptively simple

blend of colors, simultaneously realistic and heightened.

Her book, “How to be a Wildflower,” is an old school field guide. At turns whimsical and carefree, it’s also a poignant reminder not to let “adulthood” get in the way of exploration. I had a chance to ask Katie Daisy a few questions about her process, her life and another thing or two.

Here is our interview.

The Source Weekly: Tell me more about your new book.

Katie Daisy: “How to Be a Wildflower” is an art book directly inspired by my beautiful encounters with nature. It’s a 208-page book full of illustrated quotes, identification charts, recipes, meditations, and lists of simple everyday pleasures. The book is loosely divided into four sections: Wander, Gather, Savor, and Ponder, but it’s meant to be opened to any page for a dose of inspiration.

SW: What is it about the art-lit medium that draws you in?

KD: Though there is a good amount of

writing in “How to be a Wildflower,” it’s definitely more about the artwork and imagery throughout. I’m a painter first, so an art book seemed like the perfect fit for my work. My publisher, Chronicle Books, has published so many inspiring art books by some of my favorite artists.

I’m honored to be in their company and reach a wide audience.

SW: What are some of your early connections with art and what made you decide it was your calling?

KD: I’ve been drawing for as long as I remember. At restaurants, my mom would always bring crayons or pens in her purse.

I’d flip over the paper placemats and let my imagination run wild. Not much has changed; I’m still doodling on everything I can. I’ve known since high school that art was what I wanted to do as a profession, but growing up in a tiny farm town didn’t really cater to this dream. Luckily I had several teachers and mentors who helped point me in the right direction of making art my career. By the end of high school I had my own line of stationery (printed at a local mom & pop shop) and

had been accepted into art school.

SW: How has your style evolved to what it is now?

KD: At first, my style was greatly influenced by darker elements. I was really inspired by Tim Burton and generally creepy things. It couldn’t be more different now! I think my style adapts to my surroundings. I now paint prairie-inspired florals and quotes that make me think of home. The current themes in my work are Wonder and Magic. And perhaps it’s always been that way, but with different subject matter. Through art, I try to uncover the magic hidden in cracks and dark places, or places that we might find unstimulating or boring. I love finding beauty in the simple things that surround us. SW

COCC’s Taste of the Town Delicious and educationally nutritious

aste of the Town is an event for the people of Bend and for the benefit of Foundation scholarships at Central Oregon Community College (COCC).

This school is celebrating almost four decades of raising money through raising the roof. With 400 tickets available to start, this popular event sold out almost a week before the party. Sitting down with COCC’s Foundation Executive Director, Zak Boone, he explains why this is just as important to the general public as it is to the students receiving the scholarships.

“It’s a party,” says Boone, “It’s just a really good time.” It’s also for a really good cause. The Taste of the Town is a food, drink, raffle, music, dancing, and social event that has about 22 local food and drink vendors donating their time and services in order to provide the guests with unlimited sample-sized foods.

Guests can eat as much as they want, experiencing all the best flavors that Bend has to offer, all without putting themselves in a lethargic food-coma. Guests can nibble a little here, a little there, dance for a bit, eat a bit more, chat, chew and chat some more, all for the benefit of higher education. With the number of guests in the hundreds and volunteers just under 100, there will be plenty of people to meet and plenty of new foods from multiple vendors. Everyone in attendance will be happy to be there, and that makes for a pretty good time.

As mentioned earlier this event is put on for the public. Boone points out that a lot of people forget that, as he puts it, “This is their campus. It’s their community and they should be able to have access to their public college.” Drumming up funds for the scholarship Foundation is a

community tradition that highlights the spirit of COCC and the role of community colleges. The land that the main campus sits upon was donated by the Coats family in 1962, which shows just how important donations can be. It’s easy to see that this generous family forfeited some seriously hefty profit in order to ensure that the citizens of Bend and the surrounding towns could have access to higher education no matter their means.

Boone discusses the importance of community colleges, not just here, but around the nation. “They help senior citizens, veterans, and students of all kinds further their education, giving them a chance at a new life.” That’s what the public can do as well. Financial gifts don’t have to be as extravagant as the Coats family’s; every little bit helps. Each fulltime student can receive $3,600 in scholarships per 12-credit term, and part-time students

ports the dreams and aspirations of COCC students by raising funds for scholarships that will open doors once closed and change the students’ lives forever.

pen up any beer trading forum on the Internet and one sees the same names pretty often. Hill Farmstead Brewery, Side Project, Jester King, our own Ale Apothecary—all producers that specialize in off-beat flavors, intense experimentation, and a sense of “rarity” that makes beer travelers the world over beat a path to their doorstep.

But why go through all the trouble when we can just take a stroll over to Bond Street and see what Deschutes has on tap? The pilot brewery to the left of the bar—the space once housed the entire brewing system—focuses exclusively on producing neat, new things for pub-goers, mostly stuff one can’t find anywhere else. The current offerings, too, run the gamut. On one end is the Passion Fruit IPA, Deschutes’ shot at making a juicy, fresh squeezed-style pale with tons of tropical citrus thrown in for good measure. On the other is the Wheat Wine, a 9.8 percent straw-colored sweet beer that’s best suited for those freezing nights that linger around Central Oregon in February.

The news doesn’t end there. Following soon after 10 Barrel, Deschutes has just launched Wayfarer, a cider created in tandem with E-Z Orchards in Salem.

The twist here: It’s a sour cider, something almost never seen in the local scene, and the product of the same kind of spontaneous fermentation that brings us things like the Apothecary’s wild ales.

It’s exclusive to the Bend pub, and even for those who are not cider people normally, it’s worth a shot—the sour flavor gives it a tartness that goes beyond the intense sweetness a lot of Pacific Northwest ciders sport.

The Pub Reserve Series, meanwhile, is still running strong. Last week saw the release of two beers: Murder in the Rye, a strong stout aged in Oregon Spirit Distillers whiskey barrels, and Rum Wowzenbock, a German-style strong ale back from a stint in some Spanish rum casks. Both are $22 a pop in bomber-sized bottles, but both prove that around Central Oregon, there’s no need to trade for the big names to try some of the most cutting-edge beer out there. SW

Beware “The Witch”

A quiet creeper that will disappoint most

By Jared Rasic 37

“T

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 08 / February 25, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

he Witch” premiered to great acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, with critical quotes providing unrestrained buildup, such as Stephen King saying it scared the hell out of him.

Once it took the Best Director award at the festival, the hype accelerated. The movie is being marketed as the scariest horror film in decades, but modern horror fans are trained to expect something quite different than what “The Witch” delivers.

The story takes place in the 17th century, as a deeply pious man named William is banished from a New England plantation with his family for preaching the gospel in a way that was upsetting to the town’s leaders. Along with his wife Katherine, daughter Thomasin, son Caleb and fraternal twins Mercy and Jonas, they pack up and travel to a beautiful bit of land on the edge of a deep, dark forest. Some time later, they have built a house and a barn, planted crops and William and Katherine have a new baby, Samuel.

Thomasin is playing peek-a-boo with Samuel and in the few seconds she closes her eyes, he disappears. The audience sees what Thomasin cannot, that an old crone in a cloak takes him into the woods and carves him up, bathing herself in his blood. The disappearance of Samuel destroys Katherine and causes the family to implode, quickly and quietly.

What “The Witch” excels at is creating a mood and tone that progressively becomes almost unbearably unsettling.

Sadly, this isn’t necessarily what modern audiences want from a horror movie anymore. Jump scares, loud musical cues and shocking gore effects primarily comprise the horror flicks that do well in the box office with movies such as “The Conjuring” and “Insidious” falling somewhere in between classy and popcorn.

“The Witch” is not going to frighten

seasoned horror audiences. There is some incredibly disturbing imagery that lingers long after the closing credits roll, but “The Witch” is more psychodrama than horror movie. The script and direction shows Robert Eggers is much more interested in thematic resonance and history than in making people scream or drop their popcorn.

Even so, 17th century America is recreated with such precise and loving detail that it’s hard not to be mesmerized just by watching these people exist, split wood or hunt in the woods, which becomes fascinating on its own. When the baby disappears and the twins start talking to the very creepy looking goat Black Phillip, it’s hard not to start worrying for these people. Their Puritanical

ways mean they are very susceptible to believing in Satan, witches and demons, adding to their paranoia about whether they can even trust their own family.

“The Witch” is almost an apologist film for the Salem Witch Trials. The movie threads a lingering question in “What if some of them really were witches dedicated to doing Lucifer’s work?” Since there is no ambiguity about whether the family is just starving and paranoid or whether there are actually supernatural influences at work, most of the interesting discussions and arguments about “Satanic Panic” are taken away. Instead, we are left with a memorable, slightly disturbing folk tale. If this is how the film had been marketed, I doubt people would be disappointed.

FEATURED FILM EVENTS HANK PATTERSON - MYSTERY OF THE CUTTYRAINBROWN A feature/documentary hybrid focusing on one man’s quest to be the first human to catch the CuttyRainBrown trout on a fly rod. Follow him and his crew across Idaho and Montana as they hunt for the elusive fish in this goofy comedic fly fishing odyssey. This looks like a fun one.

When my screening ended, several people in the audience proclaimed how lame they thought the film was. The two people I came with both liked it much less than I did, with one complaining they thought it was boring and the other being disappointed it wasn’t scarier. Though I agree the film isn’t very scary, it held me enthralled for every second of its running time. That should be good enough, but in a time of marketing hyperbole, it’s hard to have just an honest reaction to a well made, creepy little movie. SW

A

movie can’t be successful artistically just on good intentions. If that were the case then “Race” would be the best picture of the year (or of many years). Alas, a modern telling of the story of Jesse Owens with a goodsized budget to hire a few great actors and recreate the Olympics will have to do. However, by telling his story in the typical bio-pic fashion, audiences are robbed of some of the darkest nuances of his experience.

“Race” tells the true story of Jesse Owens, an African American runner who (SPOILER ALERT), went to the Olympics in Berlin under Hitler’s regime and came home with four gold medals. Luckily the film doesn’t give us Owen’s entire life story (though the 136-minute running time feels slightly punishing), but instead plops the audience in as he heads off to Ohio State University.

Owens was already well-known as a track and field star, so he joins the team coached by Larry Snyder, who butts heads with him in a very Lifetime Movie-Of-The-Week sort of way.

Owens begins training for the Olympics and the only real drama is whether he should go or instead protest the games as a show of solidarity with the Jewish people of Germany. The audience knows he’s going, so the manufactured drama, regardless of historical accuracy, is tiresome.

The event-by-important-event story of Jesse Owens’ life is wholly unsatisfyingly told in “Race.” The problem is that there were a few other more interesting stories to be told lurking under the surface. It’s never fair to judge a film based on what it could or should have been, but on whether the filmmakers successfully told the story they set out to make.

On that front, audiences will leave the theater knowing quite a bit more about the story of Jesse Owens’ accomplishments, but not necessarily the man himself. Stephen James (who replaced “Star Wars” bound John Boyega) does an admirable job, but the script doesn’t give him much to work with and he never really gets beneath Owens’ affable demeanor.

The truly powerful story that could have been told peeks around the corner every once and awhile. Aside from his coach and the other black athletes, every single person Owens comes into contact with at Ohio State University is a serious racist. When he comes out on the field, they boo him just for being a black person, but when he starts winning, they love him. All of a sudden he is surrounded by cheers and an adoring public miraculously caring about him.

America’s racism in the 1930s wasn’t just systemic and political, but also cultural.

Scenes with Owens coming back from the Olympics and still having to use the back door to go into fancy hotels says more about “Race” than watching him run the 100-meter dash ever could.

There are very strong moments and ideas in “Race,” but that won’t cut it with a subject this powerful. When a story is important, it should be told importantly and with grace instead of resting on the idea that just telling it is enough. This might be OK for educating people about what the man accomplished, but it hasn’t enough to say about what those accomplishments truly mean. SW “Race” Dir.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic Zoolander 2

Play DIRTY With a Friend!

DEADPOOL: Everyone’s favorite Merc with a Mouth makes the transition to his first solo big screen outing. We last saw the character Deadpool in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” one of the most disastrous superhero films of all time. This new flick should not only make everyone forget about how dumb Deadpool was in the past, but create the first R-Rated superhero franchise since “Blade.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE FINEST HOURS: An adaptation of 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 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

HAIL, CAESAR!: It’s about time we got a new Coen Brothers movie. “Hail, Caesar!” 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. This is a solid middle-tier Coen Bros. flick that is almost obscenely enjoyable. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HOW TO BE SINGLE: Dakota Johnson and the progressively more annoying Rebel Wilson star in this crass comedy about the search for love in New York City. As much as we love Rebel Wilson, her schtick is starting to wear a bit thin. One hopes there will be more to the film than that. The supporting cast is definitely stacked with some ringers, so this should at least be good for some laughs. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LADY IN THE VAN: It isn’t necessarily how good this film is that might draw audiences, it is the opportunity to see Dame Maggie Smith playing a vagrant who lives in a van. A London playwright makes friends with the homeless woman and she ends up living in his driveway for the next 15 years. Based on true events. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

KUNG FU PANDA 3: “Kung Fu Panda 2” was a highlight in the recent onslaught of se-

but this isn’t quite good enough. This takes the actual story and characters from “Pride and Prejudice,” but puts them in the middle of a world-wide zombie plague. There is some gooey violence, but all of it is taken way too seriously to be fun, especially based on the premise of the film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

RACE: A new biopic about athlete Jesse Owens and his experiences at the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. This should be uplifting, exciting and infuriating in equal measures and with director Stephen Hopkins (“Predator 2” and “Blown Away”), it will be visually sumptuous, as well. An important story that everyone should know. 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 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

WHERE TO INVADE NEXT: As much as the right likes to make fun of Michael Moore, his work 20 years ago to bring national attention to Flint, Mich., should be seen as downright prophetic. In his new film, Moore sets his sights on Europe and compares their health care, education and sexual issues with that of the United States. Expect this film to rile audiences just like the rest of his movies do. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE WITCH: Winner of the Directing Award at last year’s Sundance Film Festival, “The Witch” is being hailed as one of the best horror films of the last several years. It tells the tale of an isolated Puritan family with a farm near the woods in New England. Whether the evil they experience is based in paranoia or the supernatural is just one of the things to uncover in this extremely hyped new film. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

45 YEARS: A beautiful portrait of a married couple during the week of their 45th wedding anniversary. When the body of the husband’s ex-girlfriend is found (she fell off a cliff hiking), it gives them both a chance to examine how life might have been if different paths had been chosen. In turns, the film is bitingly witty, haunting and potently depressing. All said, “45 Years” is not a film that is easy to shake off. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

Oregon’s Cougar Population is Growing

Cascade Center of Photography Excursions The Cascade Center of Photography offers excursions and on-site workshops for photography adventures in Central Oregon and beyond. There are workshops and outings for beginning to advanced photographers.

Saturday, June 4: CCOP is offering a “Last Light and Night Photography” workshop at Fort Rock State Park. The historic Fort Rock village will provide a backdrop for many photo ops. Participants will arrive before the last hour of light and stay until after dark practicing night light photography at the historic western village and shooting the stars when dark.

regon’s cougar population has grown substantially in the last two decades since the use of dogs was banned by voters in 1994 as a means of tracking and hunting the predator. The Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife estimates that there are approximately 6,000 of the predator statewide—some estimate higher counts—and Central Oregon has its share.

Heath notes that the state is updating its cougar plan, and some rules and policies could change depending on populations, but that will be subject to review and hearings before anything is finalized by the ODFW Commission.

We can’t do that,” says Heath. “Right now, we’re not going to relocate those cougars if they’re in town like that.

If they are outside their natural habitat, they’re going to get euthanized.” He continues, “Our first priority is human safety and addressing that immediately at the site.” If a cougar is spotted on the edge of town or farther out, Heath says that—because they cover a large amount of territory—they will usually just move on. Still he advises residents of those

There are two things to be aware of: aggressive behavior when a cougar may feel cornered without possibility of escape, and predatory behavior when the animal is hunting for food. If you do encounter one, Heath says, “Pick up small children, back away very slowly, don’t turn and run. Yell, throw stones, and pick up a big stick in case you need it.” But since cougar encounters are rare, he reiterates there is no reason to be fearful. “Just be aware of your surroundings.” SW

Much of the 750-mile desert trail is in conceptual stages. It traces a route from the Badlands Wilderness just east of Bend south to the Fremont National Forest, southeast to Hart Mountain, east to the Steens, and finally terminates after passing through the Owyhee Canyonlands. ONDA hopes the trail will eventually win designation as an extension of the National Recreation Trail system. SW

et aside Feb. 27 and 28 to attend the 2016 Eagle Watch ceremonies at Eagle Village in Round Butte Overlook Park’s visitor center, 10 miles west of Madras. The two-day celebration runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sat., Feb. 27, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sun., Feb. 28.

This will be the 21st annual Eagle Watch celebration at Round Butte Overlook Park, a free celebration honoring eagles and other raptors of the Oregon Country. Hosted by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), Portland General Electric (PGE), and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the event features activities to explore the natural and cultural significance of the birds.

“This event has something for the entire family,” said event coordinator and OPRD park ranger Erin Bennett.

“Visitors will have the opportunity to glimpse our resident bald eagles and golden eagles, as well as learn about the significance of the eagle to tribal culture and traditions.”

Central Oregon students in grades 4 through 12 entered the Eagle Art Contest with drawings, paintings, photography and carvings. Winners will be announced at noon on Sat., Feb. 27, and

the artwork will be on display during the celebration.

Both days attendees can meet Aquila, a rehabilitated golden eagle. Children are invited to build a bluebird house (on Saturday) or a bird feeder (on Sunday) and make a commemorative Eagle Watch button to take home. The Madras Garden Center will demonstrate how to create a backyard refuge and enjoy bird watching year-round.

To cap off the event, the Quartz Creek Drummers and Dancers will provide a special presentation of tribal drumming and dancing sponsored by Warm Springs Power and Water Enterprises at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Admission and parking at PGE’s Round Butte Overlook Park is free; new Eagle Watch souvenirs will be available. Also, a silent auction will benefit the Oregon Eagle Foundation. Cash and checks are accepted, no ATM onsite.

ADVICE GODDESS

Shrug, Actually

—Worried Once you’ve been together for a while, you may still have vivid fantasies running through your head during sex, like the one where you get to the dry cleaner’s before closing time.

The Declaration of Independence proclaimed that we have a right to “the pursuit of Happiness,” but it doesn’t get into actually having it, which, as you’ve discovered, can be a bit of a bore. This makes biological sense, considering that there are stages in attraction and bonding and a cocktail of biochemicals behind each. Dopamine, a neurochemical that researchers associate with wanting, “novelty-seeking,” and focused attention, is a star player when you’re in chase mode (aka “infatuation,” “attraction,” or, more descriptively, “Who knew you could get a callus down there?”).

However, evolution is no fool, and it realized that we couldn’t spend all of our time chasing each other around whatever passed for the kitchen table back when “the man cave” was an actual cave. So bonding hormones—oxytocin and vasopressin— eventually take charge. And that’s why, a year into a relationship, you may be doing “unnatural acts” in the bedroom, but they probably involve things like dusting the miniblinds.

Going from hot sexts to ho-humming along is a result of “hedonic adaptation.”

“Hedonic” comes from a Greek word for pleasure, and hedonic adaptation describes how we quickly acclimate to changes in our circumstances—positive or negative—to the point where they no longer give us the boost (or kick in the teeth) that they first did. Research by social psychologist Philip Brickman and his colleagues suggests that we each have a happiness “set point,” and we keep getting pulled back to it. A fascinating example of this is their finding that people who won big in the lottery were (of course) stoked at first, but ultimately, they ended up being no happier than victims of crippling accidents.

The good news is that, even now, you can bring surprise into your relationship; you just need to stage it. Try to inject it into every day, and maybe take turns planning a weekly secret date night—secret from the person who isn’t the planner—so at least one of you is surprised. You might also take turns planning separate sextracurricular activities, on the same model. Without this extra effort, sex may still be fun, but the only way it’s likely to be surprising is if one of you tries to sneak out the window afterward.

Old Men In The Hood When I was in my youth, a lot of women I knew fell for bad boys. I’m now a man in my 60s, entering retirement. Amazingly, I’m finding that even women my age prefer bad boys. What’s this about?

REASONS TO SUPPORT THE GAS TAX SAVES MONEY

I’m in my first serious relationship. It started off super hot and sexual. Now, a year in, it’s lovey-dovey and cuddly.

—Nice Guy Since older women often end up dating much-older men, this leads to the question, what’s the profile of the elderly bad boy? Cheating at bingo? Swearing on the golf course? Shotgunning Ensure?

Some older women -- just like the younger ones—go for bad boys because they don’t think much of themselves and feel most comfortable with someone who seems to share their view. But even older women who aren’t emotional shipwrecks can be drawn to the aging delinquent. It turns out that a bad boy’s unreliability has a neurological upside. Neuroscientist Wolfram Schultz finds that unpredictable “rewards” seem to be the most satisfying for the brain—maybe even giving us three or four times the buzz of the experiences that we see coming.

So, as a nice guy, the thing to be is exciting and unpredictable—without the downside of the deviousness, thieving, and unreliability. Use the element of surprise—even by hiding small presents (tiny chocolate bars) or funny notes around her house (as opposed to a bag of unmarked bills). Ultimately, even thrill-seeking women prefer a man who says, “Quick, grab your suitcase.

I’m taking you to Paris,” and not “Quick, duck down. The cops are here, and they have a warrant.”

ASTROLOGY PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Unless you work

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Actress Blythe Baird writes about the problem that arises when her dog sees her eating a peanut butter and chocolate chip bagel. Her beloved pet begs for a piece and becomes miserable when it’s not forthcoming. Baird is merely demonstrating her love, of course, because she knows that eating chocolate can make canines ill. I suspect that life is bestowing a comparable blessing on you. You may feel mad and sad about being deprived of something you want.

But the likely truth is that you will be lucky not to get it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I do not literally paint that table, but rather the emotion it produces upon me,” French artist Henri Matisse told an interviewer. “But what if you don’t always have emotion?” she asked him. This is how Matisse replied: “Then I do not paint. This morning, when I came to work, I had no emotion. So I took a horseback ride. When I returned, I felt like painting, and had all the emotion I wanted.” This is excellent advice for you to keep in mind, Taurus. Even more than usual, it’s crucial that you imbue every important thing you do with pure, strong emotions. If they’re not immediately available, go in quest of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some night soon, I predict you’ll dream of being an enlightened sovereign who presides over an ecologically sustainable paradise. You’re a visionary leader who is committed to peace and high culture, so you’ve never gone to war. You share your wealth with the people in your kingdom. You revere scientists and shamans alike, providing them with what they need to do their good work for the enhancement of the realm. Have fun imagining further details of this dream, Gemini, or else make up your own. Now is an excellent time to visualize a fairy tale version of yourself at the height of your powers, living your dreams and sharing your gifts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s not always necessary to have an expansive view of where you have been and where you are going, but it’s crucial right now. So I suggest that you take an inventory of the big picture. For guidance, study this advice from philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: “What have you truly loved? What has uplifted your soul, what has dominated and delighted it at the same time? Assemble these revered objects in a row before you and they may reveal a law by their nature and their order: the fundamental law of your very self.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Sportswear manufacturer Adidas is looking for ways to repurpose trash that humans dump in the oceans. One of its creations is a type of shoe made from illegal deep-sea nets that have been confiscated from poachers. I invite you to get inspired by Adidas’s work. From an astrological perspective, now is a good time to expand and refine your personal approach to recycling. Brainstorm about how you could convert waste and refuse into useful, beautiful resources—not just literally, but also metaphorically. For example, is there a ruined or used-up dream that could be transformed into raw material for a shiny new dream?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “There isn’t enough of anything as long as we live,” wrote Raymond Carver. “But at intervals a sweetness appears

and, given a chance, prevails.” According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Virgo, you’ll soon be gliding through one of these intervals.

Now and then you may even experience the strange sensation of being completely satisfied with the quality and amount of sweetness that arrives. To ensure optimal results, be as free from greed as you can possibly be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out,” says author Yasmin Mogahed. “Again, and again, and again.

And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience.” According to my analysis, Libra, you should be attending to this tough but glorious task. Although the work might be hard, it won’t be anywhere near as hard as it usually is. And you are likely to make more progress than you would be able to at other times.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “The other day, lying in bed,” writes poet Rodger Kamenetz, “I felt my heart beating for the first time in a long while. I realized how little I live in my body, how much in my mind.” He speaks for the majority of us. We spend much of our lives entranced by the relentless jabber that unfolds between our ears. But I want to let you know, Scorpio, that the moment is ripe to rebel against this tendency in yourself. In the coming weeks, you will have a natural talent for celebrating your body.

You’ll be able to commune deeply with its sensations, to learn more abut how it works, and to exult in the pleasure it gives you and the wisdom it provides.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): In his “Dream Song 67,” poet John Berryman confesses, “I am obliged to perform in complete darkness operations of great delicacy on my self.” I hope you will consider embarking on similar heroics, Sagittarius. It’s not an especially favorable time to overhaul your environment or try to get people to change in accordance with your wishes. But it’s a perfect moment to spruce up your inner world—to tinker with and refine it so that everything in there works with more grace. And unlike Berryman, you won’t have to proceed in darkness.

The light might not be bright, but there’ll be enough of a glow to see what you’re doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here’s the dictionary’s definition of the word “indelible”: “having the quality of being difficult to remove, wash away, blot out, or efface; incapable of being canceled, lost, or forgotten.” The word is often used in reference to unpleasant matters: stains on clothes, biases that distort the truth, superstitions held with unshakable conviction, or painful memories of romantic break-ups. I am happy to let you know that you now have more power than usual to dissolve seemingly indelible stuff like that. Here’s a trick that might help you: Find a new teacher or teaching that uplifts you with indelible epiphanies.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): According to poet Tony Hoagland, most of us rarely “manage to finish a thought or a feeling; we usually get lazy or distracted and quit halfway through.”

Why? Hoagland theorizes that we “don’t have the time to complete the process, and we dislike the difficulty and discomfort of the task.” There’s a cost for this negligence: “We walk around full of half-finished experiences.”

That’s why Hoagland became a poet. He says that “poems model the possibility of feeling all the way through an emotional process” and “thinking all the way through a thought.” The coming weeks will be a favorable time to get more in the habit of finishing your own feelings and thoughts, Aquarius. It will also be more important than usual that you do so! (Hoagland’s comments appeared in *Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts.*)

at night and sleep by day, you experience the morning on a regular basis. You may have a love-hate relationship with it, because on the one hand you don’t like to leave your comfortable bed so early, and on the other hand you enjoy anticipating the interesting events ahead of you. But aside from your personal associations with the morning, this time of day has always been a potent symbol of awakenings and beginnings. Throughout history, poets have invoked it to signify purity and promise. In myth and legend, it often represents the chance to see things afresh, to be free of the past’s burdens, to love life unconditionally. Dream interpreters might suggest that a dream of morning indicates a renewed capacity to trust oneself.

All of these meanings are especially apropos for you right now, Pisces.

TAKE ME HOME Effect of Commuting Costs On Home Buying Decisions

By Nick Nayne

Principal Broker | Broker Network of Central Oregon

According to a recent National Association of Realtor’s Economist Commentary, some interesting trends can be derived from the NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers Report for 2015. One of those trends was that 30 percent of the respondents purchased homes to reduce commuting costs and listed this as being very important to them. The

VOLUME 20 ISSUE 08 / February 25, 2016 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

L

ast year, millenials surpassed baby boomers as the nation’s largest living generation, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. These 20 and 30-somethings are now becoming first-time home buyers and their needs for affordable housing and difficulty in finding housing are the subject of many real estate blogs. Another aspect of this generation not often considered is the significance millennials place on having time for friends and family. This leads to a desire to reduce commuting time, and thus places more value on homes located closer to places of work.

51

report was further segmented to show that 64 percent of buyers purchased homes that were convenient to their jobs. They were willing to pay more to be closer to work and reduce commute times. The analysts found that 40 percent of these buyers were first-time home buyers and that their median age was 39 years, which is Gen X territory (falling between the boomers and the millenials). The typical house tended to be a three-bedroom, two-bath house with 1900 square feet.

When looking at affordable housing planning and development, it seems prudent to take into consideration the value that families place on living close to work, schools, shopping, and medical facilities. Instead of just pushing out urban boundaries to create bedroom communities on the outskirts of a city, affordable housing in town is what is most needed and desired. SW

SMOKE SIGNALS

Around Oregon in weed – starting at home

By Steve Holmes

The city requires that cannabis businesses be separated from one another by at least 1,000 feet, so losing a location would be no small setback in Bend. The city accepted 16 applications, all from existing medical marijuana businesses. The city has applications for 11 recreational stores, with eight existing medical marijuana dispensaries applying to convert to serve the recreational market. The city also has applications for three grow sites and a bakery.

The city’s fees are approximately $1,000 for land use approval and another $600 for a city business license. The city’s land use approval and a city business license are required before a business can obtain a license from the Oregon Liquor [and Cannabis] Control Commission.

Meanwhile, Deschutes County continues to struggle with legalized cannabis.

In December, county commissioners voted to ban all cannabis businesses in unincorporated areas of the county. The move shocked local business owners, who noted the commissioners were well aware of existing cannabis grow businesses in the county. These businesses have been unable to start the process of obtaining

high grade o r g a n i c s c a n n a b is dis p e n sa ry

an OL[C]CC license and thus continue to be ineligible to participate in the legal cannabis market.

County voters will vote on the ban in November, but the commissioners apparently consider the ban temporary and were using it to buy some time to work on regulations that they expect to implement this spring. The regulations are likely to include minimum lot sizes, property line setbacks, and outdoor lighting restrictions for cannabis grow businesses. The county is also considering

Also in Central Oregon, members of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs voted in December to allow growing, processing, and sales of recreational cannabis. Despite the vote, cannabis remains illegal on the Warm Springs reservation under federal law.

intravenous fluids and monitored for about five hours before being sent home.

Incidents such as these, though rare, have led the OLC[C]C to propose regulations that would restrict edible cannabis products to half the strength of those allowed in Washington and Colorado.

In southern Oregon, an eight-year-old boy from Klamath Falls reportedly became ill after eating a cannabis-infused cookie. According to the boy’s mother, he was on a family outing when he found the cookie still sealed in its packaging.

In Portland, the World Famous Cannabis Cafe is in danger of being shut down again. When it opened in 2009, the club was the first cafe in the United States for medical marijuana patients. The club closed temporarily in 2015 but reopened and now allows entry to anyone over 21. However, the Oregon Legislature amended the Oregon Indoor Clean Air Act to prohibit smoking cannabis in public places and workplaces starting Jan. 1, 2016. The club is now facing citation from county officials for allowing cannabis smoking indoors. The club’s owner, Madeline Martinez, says cannabis clubs should be exempted from the smoking ban along with smoke shops and cigar bars.

If county commissioners decide not to allow grow businesses or continue to delay implementation of regulations, legal cannabis may become more expensive in Central Oregon. restrictions that would effectively outlaw wholesale businesses.

With the prospects for county cannabis grow businesses uncertain and on hold, some Bend retailers are expressing concerns about supply. If county commissioners decide not to allow grow businesses or continue to delay implementation of regulations, legal cannabis may become more expensive in Central Oregon.

The boy reported finding the cookie to his mother’s boyfriend, who was target shooting. The boyfriend told the boy not to eat the cookie, but he ate it anyway.

The boy apparently consumed 50 mg of cannabis, which is considered a large dose. After the boy reported that he was vibrating all over and that everything looked like a cartoon, his mother took him to the hospital, where he was given

In Washington, D.C., Oregon’s Democrats in Congress have introduced a bill that would allow the US Postal Service to deliver mail that includes advertisements for cannabis businesses. Current federal law prohibits the Postal Service from delivering such mail, and USPS officials have recently threatened not to deliver newspapers including such ads. Whether the USPS would make good on its threat, and whether this bill has any chance of passing the Republican-controlled House, are both unclear. SW
