OPINION

Women’s Issue: Important conversations emerge when we acknowledge our diversity

T

his week, Editor Nicole Vulcan has elected to write a personal note to readers, in honor of the 2019 Women’s Issue.

Every year, the Source dedicates one issue to highlighting the work of some of the women doing impactful work around social, environmental and cultural change in our community. Some years, we’ve elected to name a Woman of the Year, placing special focus on one woman whose work has stood out in the past year.

Last year, as the #MeToo movement was firing along, I made the decision to highlight a group of women, as opposed to naming just one woman, because feminism, in my mind, asks us not to herald and heroize lone individuals—but instead, to raise the voices of the many whose voices are marginalized, underrepresented or ignored in society. From that frame of mind, it was challenging for me to name just one woman warrior who deserved the Woman of the Year title.

This year is a new year. The recent iteration of the #MeToo movement—while facing scrutiny for its focus largely on white women as victims—still has relevance—as does the call for us to honor the underrepresented. (Bend will have the great privilege to hear from MeToo’s original creator, Tarana Burke, this very week, at the Muse Conference.) Still, one woman’s work in our community has stood out to me as something our community needs to hear right now—whose work, both in her career and in her personal life, has involved reminding our community that not everyone looks alike, and that our community can do better to respect the diversity that exists here.

The work of Erika McAlpine, an instructor of business at Oregon State

University-Cascades, has reminded me once again that it is a misstatement for us to continue to say, “Bend is so white.”

Indeed, Bend is majority white—but it does the people of color who live and work and play here a disservice to continue to bandy that phrase around, as if no one of color exists in this space. When we begin to acknowledge that we are a diverse community, we can begin the sometimes challenging, often rewarding work of raising the voices of the marginalized, underrepresented and ignored.

Because McAlpine’s work as an educator and speaker has been so absolutely relevant at this moment in Bend’s history, I have elected to take on a hybrid approach to the Woman of the Year. I hereby name her our Woman of the Year—but as I do that, I have also opted to form a “Pay It Forward” style women’s issue, in which I asked McAlpine to name a woman she believes is doing good work in our community. Then, that woman recommended someone else, and her someone else, and so on. This approach seems so much more relevant than simply naming one Woman of the Year.

As the region’s population continues to grow, Bend and Central Oregon sit at a crossroads. We can continue to honor the traditions of community and a love of the outdoors that have made this region so desirable—but as we do that, we can also do better to honor, acknowledge and welcome the growing diversity that will make our community even greater. We here at the Source hope to be at the forefront of the conversations about how to do that, and we hope the 2019 Women’s Issue is just one piece of that vital, ongoing conversation.

Thanks for reading!

BEND-LA PINE SCHOOL BOARD

We have been visiting Mt. Bachelor for decades now and we’re no longer going to do so. They have a list of failures that a ski area of this size shouldn’t have. Today, February 25, was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Only Skyliner, Sunrise, Sunshine Accelerator and Cloudchaser are open. We’ve been to so many other ski areas that open like clockwork even with a foot and a half of new snow, but Mt. Bachelor always has excuses for not operating well. They have power problems, too much snow, even though this was forecasted for over four days. Then there’s the parking lots, Skyliner lot especially. It should be wider, first of all. The narrowness exacerbates the problem, and not maintained properly. Then the elevators up at Pine Marten Lodge are out of order. Both of them so far all season. And the web cam at the Clearing Rock bar is out of order.

This camera is the most important one they have, providing many angles. They are saying that it is dead and needs to be replaced, but there’s too much snow to do so. Another excuse. I wonder how many complaints they get, probably tons. Well, we don’t care anymore, cause obviously they don’t either. Thank you for choosing Mt. Bachelor.

—Larry Anuzi

The recent action by the Bend/LaPine School Board to name the new school North Star was a poor decision considering the public input asking to name it after a local person. The reason given by the board was that in later years that person may have discovered to have done something to cast a negative shadow over him/her.

Consider this; the North Pole has been moving 34 miles a year since 2000.

A “erratic” shift. So The North Star has been discovered to be “erratic!”

I am running for the board to insure that the public is being respected and listened to.

MT. BACHELOR’S MANAGEMENT

WHY ALL THE TENSION? Bend has been growing exponentially in the last 15+ years (minus 08-12) as we continue to make the top five of everything, it seems. Native Oregonians like myself are typically very kind and welcoming people, which is a large part of why many like it here. We look you in the eye, smile, say Hi, and are happy to assist with whatever we can. So why does this seem to be changing, you may ask? Hearing more complaints about out of towners? Well, in recent years we’ve found more horns honking, less people stopping for pedestrians (it is an Oregon law that you must stop for them, with or w/o a crosswalk btw), and more entitlement and negative attitudes abounding. This is not to say that some of these people haven’t always lived here, but the incidents seem to be on the rise. Last night our family ate at a small local pizza shop in NWX and watched as some loud newcomers brought their large dog inside and under their table while they toasted to their new home in Bend, and how they were #2 to move up on whatever ladder they were climbing. It was not a service dog, they were in their 30s and late 50s, and they appeared affluent.

This to me is the core of entitlement, and the reason we are seeing many natives move, and others retract.

every state and welcome them with open arms, but for those that come here to have their paradise on their terms, you may find this town is not for you. In fact, it is not. Please, come with respect for the people and its surroundings. Your dog is not a child, and your child is not entitled to do whatever they want. If you think you love this town, then treat its people and land with love, and feel obliged by the local code. We don’t smile at the pretty woman because she’s pretty, so don’t look away or act snotty. We smile because that is how kind people greet each other here. You will not make it to the mountain any faster, so please don’t pass. It’s 20 miles and we are all going to get their within 5 minutes of each other, so stop for the pedestrian. Let the locals in off the side streets to the endless line up Century Drive. We live here, and have for a long time. If you are moving to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, don’t recreate what you left. Slow down, be kind, and talk to people. Not about what you have, but how they are doing. Aim for being selfless, not selfish. It’s still a small community and we are all in this together, so please act like it and do as the locals do.

New group for women survivors of sexual abuse offers path to healing

By Keely Damara

V

eronica Ramos isn’t a counselor.

By day, she works in accounting for Bend Park and Recreation District.

She dreams of one day opening a halfway home for women transitioning out of human trafficking. For now, though, she’s focusing on a new support group for women survivors of sexual abuse — something she’s passionate about, as a survivor herself.

“I just have a heart to help others, and I’m trusting that that’s enough— and I’m seeing, when I’m meeting these women, that it is. All they want is connection and I can offer that.”

Seven years ago, Ramos was looking for a support group to assist in her healing from her own history of sexual abuse. At the time, she couldn’t find a group offering a support system of other women who’ve had similar experiences with sexual violence.

“People who haven’t experienced this may not understand smells can be triggering. Flashbacks happen in the most random, odd times and different things can bring that on,” says Ramos. “There’s a lot of pain — and there’s a lot of shame that comes with having survived.”

Ramos says she wants to break that down, to give women the feeling of being valued and loved — and to let them know that these feelings aren’t abnormal.

A path ‘wrought with struggle’ Ramos grew up in Medford, Ore., raised by a single mom. She says predators, like her abuser, know how to pick out children in vulnerable situations.

According to a grooming behavior list provided by KIDS Center, a child abuse prevention center that serves Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook and surrounding counties, single parents are often targeted by predators looking to abuse a child. Other vulnerable people are children who are unpopular, have low self-esteem or are often unsupervised.

Now 41 years old, Ramos says she continued to be physically and emotionally abused, as an adult, in intimate relationships. It’s been a challenge as a survivor, she says, to realize her worth — but she feels she’s finally arriving.

“My path is wrought with struggle.

I’ve struggled to get everything I have.

I think that’s why this space is so beautiful. It’s incredible — when these women meet with me with tears in their eyes and say I’m so grateful that you’re doing this, my heart just swells and I’m so thankful that I overcame the fear of stepping out into this.”

The first in her family to graduate from college, Ramos began her major in business at Oregon State University and completed her bachelor’s degree at Eastern Oregon University with an

emphasis in accounting. She has a gift for structure and organization — something she says has helped her plan her support group.

A group for survivors KIDS Center served 3,830 children, youth and Central Oregon families in 2017. According to its 2017 annual report, 161 children referred to KIDS Center had experienced sexual abuse.

“While nationwide trends in child abuse rates are debated, here in Central Oregon, we not only continue to see growing demand for child abuse evaluations, but also for our mental health, advocacy, and family support enrollment in our prevention education and training courses,” said KIDS Center Executive Director Shelly Smith in the 2017 annual report.

Oregon women and girls are sexually abused at rates higher than the national average. According to a 2010-2012 report from the Center for Disease Control, 47.5 percent of Oregon women reported having experienced contact sexual violence, and 26.3 percent reported completed or attempted rape in her lifetime.

These rates exceed the national average.

In a 2015 update to the same report, it was found that 43.6 percent of U.S. women reported experiencing some form of contact sexual violence in her lifetime.

About 1 in 5 women, or 21.3 percent of U.S. women, reported completed or attempted rape.

Although many women experience sexual violence, Ramos wasn’t sure how many women would reach out about her group. She says women who have experienced sexual violence often have trust issues, making it hard for some to reach out. But after posting fliers at the library, she’s had a handful of women reach out so far. She intends to keep this first group small to foster safety and connection among the women.

“I’m shocked at the level of response that I’ve had,” says Ramos. “I would like to continue and my hope is that some other women will rise up out of the group that want to start groups — that I can be an inspiration to other women to step out on this journey.”

Women interested in joining the support group, which begins the first week of March, should reach out to Ramos to discuss if the group will be a good fit.

Participants can join up to three weeks after the start date.

Begins first week of March Location and Time TBA To inquire about group, call Veronica Ramos at 503-856-4874

V is for Inclusion

Lessons learned from #MeToo helped shape this year’s "Vagina Monologues" into a more inclusive show

7

By K.M. Collins As a result, Greene feels this year’s cast was significantly more inclusive, including individuals from different generations, people who identify as LGBTQ+, people who are gender fluid, parents, black and indigenous women of color and Latinx individuals.

Inclusivity efforts also yielded the incorporation of Spanish into parts of the script. A performance held in Madras (in cooperation with Let’s Talk Diversity Coalition), put a spotlight on women who are or have been incarcerated. That performance also highlighted community activists—an effort to move the needle in creating accessibility for all communities in Central Oregon. As Greene states, “Distance and transportation access is an unearned disadvantage for many.”

Making #MeToo more inclusive Not coincidentally, the need to deepen inclusivity highlighted in this year’s Central Oregon V-day Campaign reflects critiques of the national anti-sexual violence movement, #MeToo. Greene notes that Me Too was originally created by longtime sexual violence advocate, Tarana Burke, in 2006—11 years before Harvey Weinstein’s patterns of sexual violence and intimidation were put on blast, and Alyssa Milano moved the #MeToo hashtag to viral status.

This year’s V-day Campaign brought into focus the need, nationally and locally, to highlight the voices of historically marginalized populations, and to address the concern that only when powerful white women experience oppression do

Seeing how geographical barriers can be forms of oppression, producers of this year’s "Vagina Monologues" intentionally staged a show in Madras, as well as Bend.

movements gain momentum.

On that subject, Greene says, “I feel it’s important to note that it took 10 or so years for [#Metoo] to gather (white feminist) momentum.”

Though locals might want to believe sexual discrimination, oppression or violence isn’t present in our idealized high desert utopia, there is sometimes more to Bend-centric culture than meets the eye.

“In my opinion, 'The Vagina Monologues' are about shedding light on the ways individuals are othered, oppressed or devalued,” says Greene. “This could be overt, sexually violent oppression, but it might also be sexual, economical or cultural repression. The [Vagina Monologue] stories do focus on women, inequities, sexual orientation, sexual satisfaction or violence and vaginas (or lack-thereof), but the themes can be more broadly applied.”

Though this year’s round of shows is behind us, co-producer Breyn Hibbs offers the reminder that one in three

women on the planet will experience some kind of violence in her lifetime. For this reason, she believes the, “#MeToo movement will continue—regardless of whether this remains its recognizable title, until this statistic is no longer true.

Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a world where organizations and movements like V-Day or #MeToo didn’t have a need to exist?! Unfortunately, we don’t live in such a world. And so, we march on and continue the movement in the ways we can and do, just like the women who have come before us did—sometimes with a particular publicly-recognized banner or hashtag, but more often, via gatherings that nobody else ever knows about except us, and the women we circled with.”

onning colors of pink, red and purple, women of all backgrounds and appearances acted out Eve Ensler’s riveting writings at this year’s mid-February performances of "The Vagina Monologues", held in both Bend and Madras. Having a performance in a place beyond Bend is just one way the show producers aimed to make it more inclusive.

"The Vagina Monologues" have been produced sporadically in Bend, starting in the early 2000s at Central Oregon Community College and again in 2007 and 2009 by Human Dignity Coalition.

Two separate performances happened as part of the V-day Campaign in 2016.

The V-Day Campaign can be presented in tandem with "The Vagina Monologues."

According to the V-Day website, “The Vagina Monologues gave birth to V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against all women and girls (cisgender, transgender and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence).”

Co-producer of this year’s local show, Jenni Peskin, echoes that aim, calling it, “an international effort to end sexual violence against women.”

For this year’s productions, organizers made a big push to broaden the search for cast members. Co-producer Marieka Greene notes, “We knew we had to cast our net wider, do things different... We held auditions in Redmond, Madras and Bend. We hoped this production wouldn’t feel so ‘Bend-centric’ like many Central Oregon events are, especially politically progressive ones.”

Woman to Woman

Raising local voices, pay-it-forward style

By Nicole Vulcan • Photos by Keely Damara

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 28, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

A

s we outlined in the Opinion piece on page 4 of this issue, the Source’s Woman of the Year in 2019 is Erika McAlpine, a business instructor at OSU-Cascades, who moved to this community in early 2018 from Alabama. Not long after, McAlpine experienced at least one racial incident that left her feeling vulnerable—an incident that she bravely detailed at a recent Central Oregon City Club forum, as well as at other local events centered around race. McAlpine’s ability to transform a personally frightening racial incident into an opportunity to have community conversations around diversity is just one reason I reached out to her for the Women’s Issue.

McAlpine detailed some of her story over breakfast one recent morning.

Below, you’ll be introduced to each woman, in their own words.

Woman of the Year Erika McAlpine

Erika McAlpine: “Many people don’t know but I’m a business professor.

And diversity and inclusion is a piece of every class I teach. Like in human resources, organizational behavior, even ethics—all those classes have a diversity and inclusion component. I have always been exposed to the work from an organizational perspective; a business perspective. But moving to Bend has forced me to the advocacy piece and it’s really more of a life-experience type of thing that has made me aware of the work that needs to be done here.

“I think Bend is a great community with great people that want to learn.

They don’t want to misstep, they don’t want to say the wrong thing, they want to be welcoming and inclusive. I think education plays such a role in that.

“You have to have people doing this work that are willing to teach; not do it in an angry begrudging way, like, ‘you should already know this,’ but in a way of, ‘I’m here, I’m willing to answer your questions, I’m willing to teach you what’s culturally appropriate and what’s not.’ From what I gather there is a lot of resentment toward people. I was even told I have a privilege. At first it was a little offensive to hear but then I had to think about it for a minute… well I guess I do, because I am an educator, I went to college, I have a degree. I have earned my privilege. I wasn’t born with privilege or

anything like that. I also don’t begrudge people because they’re white.

“No one has a choice about what color their skin is, who their parents are, where they were born. But people do get to choose how they handle it. And that’s where the different voices through this type of work are necessary. My voice is much more soft; I’m not going to throw a thousand articles at you to tell you, you are wrong. I don’t feel that way.

“I feel that we all have lives to live all have choices to make and what people choose to do. I think that if you look at it from the Civil Rights era, when people were fighting for others’ rights, specifically equal rights. You look at the style of MLK verses the style of Malcolm X—both of them working towards the same goal, but two different styles. Malcolm X’s ‘fight, fight we can do this ourselves.’ MLK said we need help. We can do this together. Get people to support our cause.

“Also, God and faith are super important to me. I think that’s something people don’t really talk about that much around—their faith or if they have any, how does it impact their lives.

“I mean, I’m from the South, that’s just an inherent part of who we are.

We openly talk about our faith and God. Sometimes automatically assume that everyone is a believer. So, moving here has been very different culturally. I lead with love. I’m not angry. Yes, injustices do happen. Do they because someone is white? Sometimes, yes. Do

they happen because people are raciest? Yes, sometimes.

Source Weekly: In the classes you teach, how do you go about introducing topics of diversity and inclusion?

EM: “Initially, students are resistant to the message. People think they’re already there and there’s nothing to learn. A student told me, ‘We don’t want to hear about your agenda,’ like it was me that was bringing this issue to the table—but it’s part of the curriculum that they need to learn. To go out into the business world. And if they leave Oregon, you’re going to see the world is not white. It took some adjustment, but now I don’t have as much confrontation as I did my fist term teaching here.

Students know me. They know that I’m there to educate them on what the rest of the world is like.”

SW: In a recent talk you gave on white fragility at First Presbyterian Church, it struck me when you said in the face of talk about racism, people react by saying, “Bend is such a nice place.” What do you think they’re saying when they say that?

EM: “I think people really do believe that—and Bend is really nice overall. Low crime rates, if you love nature there lots to do there—it’s a great place to raise kids. We find things to do that don’t involve nature. It’s a well-balanced place. The population is nice and I think people think because they’re nice and everyone they know is nice, that everyone else is. Bend is great. People (newcomers) forget that there are people that want Bend to remain small and some people want Bend to remain white. I know someone who moved here for that purpose; they wanted their children to be raised in a more segregated place, and now that it’s growing they don’t like it.”

SW: So, you think it’s like, people here don’t want to acknowledge any problems, so they don’t?

EM: “People don’t really know about how they feel about things until they’re faced with them and that’s where unknown bias comes in. So, your nextdoor neighbor is a person of color and you don’t know how you feel about that. Sometimes you have to do work on yourself to change those bias. Bias can come from lots of different places, so if you challenge those thoughts, it can be tough sometimes, if you never have a reason to challenge them.”

Jenna Goldsmith Writing instructor, OSU-Cascades When I asked her to name a woman doing important work in our community, Erika McAlpine named Jenna Goldsmith, last year’s winner of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Award at OSU-Cascades.

Goldsmith received the award, in part, “for increasing social justice and Safezone training opportunities for students and employees.”

Jenna Goldsmith: “I actually started off as a journalism major. I worked on my college paper for a year. I was the

police reports editor which really, I tell my students, because it was the time of my life. Really. I mean, I loved working on the paper. It was what brought me out of my shell.

“I teach all of the sections of writing at OSU-Cascades. So, everything from firstyear writing up into the 300 level classes.

“I really love teaching American Lit Survey. I teach from 1900 to present— and so we get to talk about the Harlem Renaissance, we get to talk about post-modernism, we get to talk about Civil Rights literature. We get to talk about 9/11 literature. Everything is sort of fair game. Most of the time students had never read the breadth and the depth of American literature, at least in the 20th century, until they get to take this class, and it feels really important to be able to teach that class.

“Students in that class don’t ask a lot of questions. I do a lot of lecturing, even against my better judgment because there’s no sense of history as it relates to literature, right? So, what I end up doing is having to do a unit on the Harlem Renaissance and not just you know, let’s look at these poems, but this is what the Harlem Renaissance. Or I end up doing a unit on the Beats, the Beat Generation. But they don’t have a context for the ‘60s as a time of civil unrest in the way that we need them to have in order to even talk about the Beats.

“So in a weird way, I feel sometimes like a history professor, even though I would never—I’m not qualified to call myself that, but there is an element of, I don’t know if I can answer their questions without historical context.

“I was the faculty diversity committee chair for a couple of years. I also co-facilitate trainings for faculty staff and students that provide resources and information about how to create safe spaces on campus for LGBTQ people and I advise the ERA—which is the Equal Rights Alliance, which is the LGBTQ student group. And that sounds like a lot, but it is I mean, we wear a lot of hats at OSU-Cascades and it’s been a privilege to be able to do that work. It’s good work, but there’s a lot of work to be done.”

“We have a restorative (yoga) class on Sunday night and then we have a community class, which is really awesome.

“As a lesbian married couple, we didn’t know what it would be like coming to Central Oregon and opening a business. We had no idea, and we feel like we’ve become really embraced which is really awesome. And we didn’t know how open we wanted to be but then we realized, if you just weren’t yourself, what are you offering?”

Courtney Wright referred me to McKenna Dempsey, whose work in marketing and development prompted her to start her own app, supporting women who experience depression and anxiety. Dempsey won the audience vote in the BendTECH unConference last year, giving her some startup cash to begin developing her app.

McKenna Dempsey: “I am building a mental wellness app for women who live with anxiety and depression. The idea is to help women set intentions, learn new techniques and tools for managing anxiety and depression on a daily basis and then create habits around those techniques and tools to make it easier to make it a part of their daily life… Instead of taking medications or methods that mask who we are and try to force us to be something that we’re not.

“And then eventually after school programs for teens is the route that I’m trying to go with it. Right now, we’re building the beta.

“I live with anxiety, severe anxiety and depressive episodes. So, my teenage years were really, really challenging. When I was 19, I asked my dad, ‘Why am I crazy?’ and he replied and said, ‘You’re not crazy. You’re just complex,’ and it completely changed my outlook on myself. So, I want to share that we’re allowed to be anxious. We’re allowed to have our emotions. We’re allowed to feel depressed. We’re allowed to feel this way.

And I think that if we embrace ourselves for that, then a lot of the fighting and challenges that come with those emotions and with those time periods and phases, we’ll be able to get through them a lot easier.

“I feel like there’s not a lot of options in regards to how are we addressing our mental wellness— specifically that isn’t faith based and more empowering in allowing ourselves to be who we are.

Jenna Goldsmith told me that during her three years in Bend, yoga has become a way for her to connect to herself and the wider community—not least in part due to the welcoming vibe fostered by Courtney Wright at Sunny Yoga Kitchen, the restaurant-slash-yoga space in Northwest Crossing. SYC offers some of the lowest drop-in yoga rates in town—an important point that reflects the Wrights’ commitment to making yoga accessible to everyone.

Courtney Wright: “I opened Sunny (Yoga Kitchen) with my wife Amy, who’s been cooking food for years now.

We got here because we were working in the food industry for a long time and then I started teaching yoga. I really love connecting people to their own bodies and being an access point to that.

“It’s a really neat interaction. We knew we wanted to do something like that and work together, and we found the space and then it started to unfold.

We had a couple different names and finally we settled on Sunny Yoga Kitchen, and it felt like it embodied something that was welcoming sunny and bright—like Bend, Oregon.

“We were pleasantly surprised when we moved here and opened Sunny that there are so many farms here and people starting farms here. So cool. When we were first here, we realized that we live right around the corner from a farm.

40 Years as Ladies of the Law Local women recall the “early days” of practicing law—and becoming judges—in Central Oregon

on the ballot for Municipal Court Judge, when several men told her they “would never vote for a woman,” and “she should be home taking care of her husband.”

Brady recounted similar comments in her signature gathering—but that they came from both men and women.

Women’s Wellness 11

By Judy Stiegler Central Oregon’s first female judges

In those early years, women faced a lot of pressure to prove themselves—a sentiment shared by both Barb Haslinger and Alta Brady, the first women appointed to the bench in Central Oregon. Haslinger came to Central Oregon in 1981, right out of law school, taking a job with a small firm in Prineville before migrating to a practice in Bend. In 1990, Gov. Neil Goldschmidt appointed her to fill a vacancy on the District Court, and she became the first female judge east of the Cascades.

VOLUME 23 ISSUE 09 / FEBRUARY 28, 2019 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

orty years ago, Lynn Jarvis and I joined a very small group of women attorneys in the Central Oregon area.

The landscape of the legal profession has definitely changed over those four decades. Estimates are now that over 50 percent of law students are female.

When I was in law school in the ‘70s, it was under 20 percent. Women are still a minority within the profession, however. The tri-county area has around 589 attorneys. Of those, approximately 32 percent are women.

Still, a lot has changed since I started. Back then, I joined a small firm in Redmond; Jarvis joined one of the larger firms in Bend. In 1979, the 11th Judicial District in Oregon consisted of six counties in Central and Eastern Oregon. When we began practicing, there were a total of five female lawyers in that six-county area. Besides Grace Williams, who was the Grant County district attorney at the time, Jarvis and I were the only women in active trial practice.

Now both retired, Jarvis and I had an opportunity recently to chat and reminisce. We agreed that there were good times, challenging times and plenty in between. We recalled male attorneys who were condescending and patronizing, like the opposing attorney in a trial who refused

Laurie Craghead

Judge Brady summed it up by saying, “There were always those less willing to accept women, but that this was countered by the champions in the legal community, both men and women, who helped move them forward.”

Support systems

Barb Haslinger

Brady came to Bend to work in the District Attorney’s office in 1985, moving to private practice in 1988. In 1994, Gov. Barbara Roberts appointed her the first female circuit court judge in Central Oregon. In 2012, Brady became the first female presiding judge here.

Both judges were active trial attorneys during their years in practice. Both generally felt accepted in the legal community, but, like Jarvis and I, also experienced challenging moments. Both feel that they experienced a “break-in period” as judges, with attorneys testing them and pushing the limits.

Setting up support systems became important. Jarvis and I joined a handful of other women attorneys in a group we affectionately referred to as the “OBOBS”—Old Bags of the Bar. We met informally over lunch or a glass of wine to talk. Over time, more formal groups have formed. Laurie Craghead came to Bend in 2001 as an assistant Deschutes County legal counsel. She had come from the Portland area where she had been active in the group, Oregon Women Lawyers. When she discovered that the local chapter, Cascade Women Lawyers, had dissolved, she set out to revive it. She worked with a group of women attorneys and by 2006, the effort had taken off.

to shake my hand. There were those who made thinly veiled sexual advances. Then there were those who were just awkward in trying to figure out the right approach, such as whether to open a door for us.

Jarvis recalled standing up during a trial and objecting to the opposing attorney’s question—a very normal procedure. The judge told her to “sit down and be a lady.” That judge later apologized after she confronted him. In contrast, she remembers one of the most affirming moments early in her career when the presiding judge, John Copenhaver, told her while standing in a group of mostly men at a Bar function, “That cross-examination was the best I’ve seen in my years on the bench.”

Alta Brady

Brady recalls being referred to as “the woman attorney” or the “woman judge.”

She remembers that as the number of women increased, this resulted in an increased acceptance. Haslinger remembers gathering signatures to be placed

Though she felt supported by the women and some of the men in the legal profession, she said, “I wanted to create a regular resource where we could get information and give information.”

These experiences and efforts had an impact on the profession overall. Alycia Herriott, who came to Bend in 2016 to work in the district attorney’s office, and is now in private practice, told me, “From the beginning, I felt a stronger presence of women colleagues to draw on and felt completely supported within the legal community.” She acknowledged she’s experienced situations where her abilities were questioned or she was treated with disrespect, but she indicated it hasn’t been her dominant experience.

There’s still work to be done to achieve parity, but we’ve come a long ways.

On The Brink

A Bend musician gears up for her debut album, and isn’t holding back

By Isaac Biehl Amy Castaño

The album won’t go quietly, either. It will feature telling tales of racism, suicide, women’s sexual empowerment and more. Being a mental health therapist, Viani is exposed often to those areas of life, and speaks out about them in her songwriting.

“I have been floored by what it feels like to be around so many strong women who are pissed off.”

—ALICIA VIANI

Alicia Viani’s upcoming album—funded by fans on Kickstarter—includes songs that touch on racism, suicide, sexual empowerment and more.

set to drop this summer, and Viani is excited to start recording it in Nashville, Tenn. She then plans to hit the road with Mark Karwan, her musical partner in crime.

“I’m thrilled! It’s been a long time coming,” Viani says of her debut. “I get to share some of my favorite writing and songs and create something that

represents me and the life I’ve lived up until now.”

Helping record the album in Nashville is producer Amy Speace and a team of musicians. Viani hopes for a recording process that’s as quick as possible— ideally, around one to three takes per song—as a way to keep the recordings more organic.

“This is a time where I have a lot of problems with what’s going on in the world. There’s a lot of pain,” says Viani. “It’s heartbreaking and sickening to know that there’s a predator in the White House. There’s a song on the album I wrote the day after he [Donald Trump] was elected. Because I was fired up… and sad. As a female I felt really vulnerable. I also have felt so much resilience. A few weeks later some of my closest girlfriends and I went to the Women’s March in D.C. I have been floored by what it feels like to be around so many strong women who are pissed off.”

hen Alicia Viani put down the oboe and picked up the guitar, the course of her life and musical career shifted.

Born in Singapore, Viani lived overseas for the first eight years of her life, including places such as Japan and Indonesia. Her parents were teachers, which gave her a love for travel at an early age.

The family moved to Ashland, Ore., around 1989. Viani now calls Bend home.

“Amazing community and the mountains. That’s what brought me here,” Viani says of Bend.

Growing up, her parents were always playing music around the house. While in Japan, Viani had a little keyboard she fell in love with. Musical instruments were always her favorite toys, she says.

From the keyboard she moved to classical oboe in middle school, continuing on that track through high school and college. At the time, she thought she’d become a professional oboist. Viani and her friends would call each other “orch-dorks,” which as you might have guessed, is short for orchestra dorks.

“When I was in college I started getting super into ethnomusicology, which is like anthropology and music combined,” recalls Viani. “I studied music in West Africa and Mongolia. And then after that I sold my oboe immediately.

I got way more interested in travel and exploring the world. When I did that, the most common instrument around was a guitar, so I figured I would learn that.”

With music being a giant part of Viani’s life, 2019 is bringing forth some more big moments in her career.

Tackling trauma through song with Emily Scott Robinson

By Isaac Biehl

T

here’s a certain power in the softness of “Traveling Mercies,” the latest album from country-folk artist Emily Scott Robinson. Her voice is elegant, telling a variety of vivid stories as we weave between the 12 tracks. It’s a playback of mini movies Robinson has either experienced or been inspired by on her journey through life.

While traveling for her tour the weekend after her album released, Robinson told the Source what makes “Traveling Mercies” so meaningful to her and how women are thriving and inspiring through music in 2019.

Source Weekly: Congrats on “Traveling Mercies” coming out! It sounds great!

What makes this record special to you?

Emily Scott Robinson: I think what makes “Traveling Mercies” special is the storytelling. I tell a lot of stories about women— powerful, honest, raw and real women. Some of these songs are hard and dark, and others are full of hope and playfulness and the transformative power of love. Listened to completely, “Traveling Mercies” covers the whole spectrum of human experience.

SW: The imagery in your songwriting is very strong and connective. Is that something you think about when writing?

ESR: Yes, imagery is very important to me because specificity is what makes a story or song relatable. I spend a lot of time envisioning and writing out sensory details to set the scenes for my songs.

There’s a saying I’ve heard called “the universality of detail,” meaning, the more grounded in real physical detail a song is, the more real it will feel to the listener.

The listener has to be able to picture the scene in a song, as if it were a movie.

SW: “The Dress” is very personal and emotional. What was it like writing that song and what compelled you to speak about it through your music?

ESR: “The Dress” is based on my own life. I was date raped when I was 22 and it was an experience that darkened my view of the world. It was the first seriously traumatic thing to happen to me— what a blessing that I was protected from serious trauma for 22 years—but it made danger and darkness very real to me.

It was the hardest song to write on the record, both because of the heaviness of the material, and because it’s hard to tell your own story objectively. There were many layers to the story I told myself about my rape, and it took years of healing and time to feel safe enough to strip those layers back and return to the truth.

I knew that one day I would find a way to write about what happened to me. I wanted other survivors to know that they weren’t crazy for feeling so alone, so numb, so confused, and so undone by what had happened

to them. I wrote this song to accompany my fellow survivors in their own healing.

SW: This year at the Grammys we saw tributes for Dolly Parton and Diana Ross, and Kacey Musgraves won Album of the Year. What does it mean for you to see women shine like that?

ESR: It’s amazing and I’m eating up absolutely every second of it! This is an incredible time to be a woman making music. I am proud of and inspired by all the incredible women using their powerful voices, creating fearlessly, taking risks and speaking out in the music industry.

SW: Do you remember the first moment you found out you could sing?

ESR: Yes! I was 16 years old and I’d spent all fall listening to Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” record and teaching myself “A Case of You.” I decided to sign up for a coffee shop night at my high school to perform it, and that’s the first time I realized I could hold an audience’s attention and sing. It definitely felt a little like a drug.

SW: What’s something you would tell young girls chasing down a dream?

ESR: Always listen to your deepest instincts. You don’t have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable in your own skin. If it’s not a “hell yes!” then it’s a “hell no!” Speak up for what matters and be the deepest, wildest, truest version of yourself.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month may be in October, and it’s a great reminder for women everywhere to get a mammogram, but why wait until the fall?

MULTIPLE BRANDS

• Yearly screening with mammography beginning at age 40 saves more lives than choosing to screen every other year. We are able to detect cancer earlier, when treatment is more effective.

MULTIPLE CATEGORIES

• You can avoid the long lines of the October rush and enjoy shorter wait times if you call and schedule your annual mammogram for this spring.

marginalized voices to speak on their own behalf,” as she wrote.

In that Huffington Post piece, Cargle detailed how a photo of her and her friend, Dana, from the 2017 Women’s March on Washington went viral and changed her activism. In the photo, Cargle and Dana held activist signs in one hand, the opposite hands raised, gripped in power fists. Cargle’s sign read, “If you don’t fight for all women, you fight for no women.” Majority-white audiences largely heralded her appearance there, she wrote. Majority-black audiences, on the other hand, questioned why Cargle was taking part in an event that was largely centered around white feminism and its only-recent outrage, following the election of Donald Trump. Later, when the #MeToo hashtag went viral, many further criticized the women's movement as only waking up to outrage when white women were identified as victims. Thus, the quest to “unpack white feminism” and what it includes, and what it skips over.

Cargle detailed how the mixed feedback on the post made her feel “bold and motivated, yet silenced and misunderstood.” The next year, she elected not to take part in the Women’s March, opting instead to be an advocate and activist for black women in other spaces.

“I’m going to be talking about the racist history of the feminist movement and a lot of the modern manifestations of how that shows up today,” Cargle said about her upcoming appearances in Bend.

These will be Cargle’s first visits to Bend—a community she says she’s

already heard is a “white space.” She’ll be arriving at a time when conversations around race, privilege and bias have so recently bubbled up around the Bend City Council appointment, and in the wake of recent presentations around white privilege and white fragility in the community. On the Council appointment, local activists contend the Council underestimated the qualifications, experience and candidacy of a woman of color, Kerani Mitchell (who will also speak at Muse this week), while overestimating those of the white man, Chris Piper, who councilors ultimately appointed.

In keeping with her desire not to be the mouthpiece for solving all race issues, I didn’t set out to make Cargle take a stab at solving our community problems. Still,

ARTWATCH

Artist-owned gallery still going strong

By Teafly Peterson Alive and thriving in Bend are a number of arts collectives where artists come together to work and sell their art.

While it’s not uncommon to find in cities, it’s a testament to the creative culture that Central Oregon has so many.

Founded in 2001, Tumalo Art Company has been a collective that has housed and nurtured many artists of central Oregon, from painters to sculptors to

variety of ways for you to connect to art. Last summer, on a bi-weekly basis many of the artists painted en plein air, allowing an insight into the process of creativity for passersby. They also often offer artist talks and offer an opening reception for their monthly show on First Fridays.

Now housed in the Old Mill, Tumalo Art Company—as its name suggests—first opened its doors in Tumalo.

In 2004, it moved to a storefront space on Greenwood Avenue, and has been housed in its current location for over 10 years.

The gallery is run by the artists happy to speak about their own and fellow artists’ work. There is a feeling of intimacy and a great love for what they’re sharing.

It’s a great way to venture into viewing art, with local artists as your guide.

Each month, the gallery changes out its exhibition. Often they offer group shows, like the upcoming exhibit “Water.”

They also have solo shows featuring the work of members. With over 25 artists members, the gallery is a ripe collection of various styles and expression.

ctivist Rachel Cargle will be in Bend two times over the next month— first, as a lecturer at this week’s Muse Conference, and then as a presenter at TEDxBend March 30. Both appearances will center around a lecture she’s given around the country, titled, “Unpacking White Feminism.” At the root of Cargle’s work: exploring the “intersection of race and womanhood.”

But if attendees of those events expect Cargle to teach them explicitly how to support black women in an effort toward equality, it might be time to adjust those expectations. In her writings—published in myriad publications including Harper’s Bazaar and the Huffington Post—Cargle is clear she doesn’t aim to be the voice of all black women. She’s there to educate, yet not necessarily to offer answers.

“I say at the beginning of all of my lectures, I have to remind people that I’m actually lecturing, that I’m not a performer, there’s notes to be taken, there’s insights to be had, there’s critical thinking to be done, and I hope that this conversation—if not a continuation—then is just the start of very deep, intentional looking at the way that race plays into everyday life in Bend,” she says.

Cargle doesn’t relish being a “token” black woman who goes about “rehashing history to glean empathy from those who have not taken the time to understand,” as she wrote in a piece in the Huffington Post last year. She’s sure most people already know the nation’s racist history and already have tools they need to interrupt ongoing patterns of discrimination. Instead of rehashing, it’s her aim to “create spaces for

“Daisy Jones and the Six”

by Taylor Jenkins Reid Told through a series of interviews with band members and the people in their orbit, this reads like a fictionalized version of “Behind the Music,” the beloved rockumentary series from VH1. Daisy Jones is a waifish L.A. singer on the rise. The Six, led by the brooding Billy Dunne, are good—but they’re missing the piece to take them to the top. When a producer brings them together to hit the road, they become the stuff of legend.

Until it all falls apart. The rise and fall of these all-too-real characters makes for my favorite read of the season.

Dinner celebrates gut health through plants

Archer wants to change the lives of bariatric patients by teaching them how to cook.

“I

t saddens me we don’t teach our children to cook anymore. It has fallen away from our society’s desire for convenience and speed,” says Rose Archer, chef and owner of True You Food. “I have this belief that everyone wants to be happy, fundamentally. You cannot be happy if your health is terrible. Study after study shows your diet is a direct correlation to your health.” Archer is on a mission to get people, specifically bariatric patients, to eat healthier by learning how to cook whole foods. Late last year, Archer launched True You Food, an online learning program with over 110 videos to help bariatric patients learn how to cook delicious, whole foods that are safe for them to eat.

Archer has seen first-hand the struggle bariatric patients go through after surgery. Her husband, Dr. Stephen Archer, is a bariatric surgeon. “I got to know his patients,” said Archer, “and how obesity is misunderstood in our society. People think this weight loss surgery is cutting corners, but it is a courageous undertaking and they have to make a huge commitment.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, after bariatric surgery a doctor or a registered dietician typically meets with a patient to explain the diet the patient needs to follow, going over what types of food and how much they can eat. At different stages after surgery, patients need to follow very specific instructions and avoid problem-causing foods. “They

can’t eat the same way,” said Archer, “There are foods that are dangerous for them. They meet with dieticians that give them what they need to eat, but it didn’t translate into food on their plate.

I saw the gap. I was inspired to create this program for those people.”

Coming from the culinary world, Archer had the skills to pass on. She graduated from the Western Culinary Institute, Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, Ore., worked in kitchens all over Europe, and at three top restaurants in Los Angeles: Spago’s Beverly Hills, Campanile and Les Ceux Cafes. In Bend she’s been the head pastry chef at Broken Top Club, launched an upscale catering company and taught classes at Allyson’s Kitchen as culinary director.

Archer said this program, “is a distillation of my knowledge, tips, tricks and short cuts that make cooking not overwhelming. It’s the best of my 20 years of knowledge in a bunch of short videos.”

Archer had to make sure everything she was teaching was safe for bariatric patients, so she partnered with her husband and a registered dietician nutritionist, Vanessa Cobarrubia.

A search for bariatric recipes online turns up a lot of results. “Just because you have a recipe in hand,” said Archer, “doesn’t mean you can do it. Dice, sauté and braise, what does that mean?” Most recipes don’t describe exactly how to do each step because it would make the recipe very long, so it can leave some people confused and overwhelmed. Or,

as Archer puts it, “If you aren’t successful and you spent the time, you blame yourself.” Gaining culinary confidence is at the heart of Archer’s program.

After students watch videos reviewing the five phases of healing post-weight loss surgery, they dive into knife skills— the same place culinary students start.

According to Archer, less than 5 percent of bariatric patients have access to ongoing education. To get this program into the right hands Archer is working with hospitals that give the program to patients. Since its launch in November, True You Food is available at 11 hospitals nationwide. A free 10-day trial is available for anyone who discovers True You Food online. Besides the videos, the rest of the program can be applicable to anyone interested in learning how to cook and eat healthier. I watched the knife skills videos. Even after taking a knife skills class, I learned that using a nonslip mat underneath my cutting board will keep it from slipping. One woman who was part of the program during the taping of the series wasn’t post bariatric surgery, but was diabetic. Archer says within six months this woman had better blood sugar levels, had lost 30 pounds and had dropped two medications.

CRAFT Distiller Faces Ryegrass Roadblocks

By Lisa Sipe

Daylene Wilkins

Ryegrass whiskey is hard to describe. It’s earthy and a bit grassy, a little like a lighter Highland single malt.

B

efore starting a craft distillery in 2012, Chris Beatty was a partner in Trillium FiberFuels, a company focused on creating ethanol from grass and wheat straw. He studied the ryegrass plant because the company was in the Willamette Valley, the ryegrass capitol of the world.

They’d learned that as the ryegrass grows, they could cut the grass before it had a seed head to elicit a decent amount of harvestable sugar. “We took some fresh grass cuttings,” said Beatty, “and squeezed it like you would a wheat grass shot. It made the worst beer ever! The only natural thing to do at that point was to distill it.” The result was earthy, with cut hay notes. Beatty thought it would make a really great blending component for whiskey. He shared it with some whiskey drinkers, and they were excited.

When the biofuel industry died after fracking came along, Trillium FiberFuels went out of business.

“I was mourning Trillium going away and I recognized craft distilling as a thing,” said Beatty. His plan was to start a distillery, Spiritopia, and make liqueurs first, since they take less time to bring to market. He’d then produce whiskey in the long term.

To bring a new spirit to market, distilleries have to file paperwork with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau—one application for the formula, the other for the product label.

Several months after sending in the ryegrass whiskey formula application, Beatty received a one-line response, “Please submit evidence that ryegrass is allowed in human food.” He was slack-jawed.

“I contacted the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and started talking to their officials,” said Beatty. “They are

like, well we don’t really think there is a problem, but no one has ever made a food or drink out of ryegrass. You need to do a toxicology study. These take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars that I didn’t have.”

Ryegrass whiskey was put on the backburner. While at a liquor tasting, Beatty met Chris Lozier from Artisan Spirit Magazine, who was intrigued by the ryegrass whiskey story, so he wrote, “The Grass is not GRAS.” Generally recognized as safe, GRAS is the FDA term for food and beverages approved for use. A few weeks after the article came out, Beatty received a phone call from a chemist at a pharmaceutical company.

His company had been using ryegrass in a pharmaceutical. It turns out ryegrass has been used in pharmaceuticals for hay fever since 1939.

With this new evidence, Beatty was ready to go to battle. He wrote a new recipe and new formula, submitting his application without the evidence. It was approved on the first try. Beatty said he was happy but confused. He says the real moral of this story is that, “When you deal with a government agency, it’s staffed by humans, not robots.”

Beatty only has one cask of his ryegrass whiskey—so if you are interested in tasting it you’ll have to visit the Spiritopia tasting room in Corvallis or at events he participates in. If you wait until June, you’ll be able to taste it locally at The Bite of Bend.

FILM SHORTS By Jared Rasic How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

2019 OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS:

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / FEBRUARY 28, 2019 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

34

Once again, Tin Pan Theater is the exclusive home to the Animated, Narrative and Documentary shorts. The lineup is strong this year (especially the documentaries), so let’s count ourselves lucky we get to see these on the big screen. Tin Pan Theater

ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL: If you’re looking for fast paced action layered throughout a fairly cool sci-fi story, then this is your jam. If you expect a film to have a beginning, middle and an end…avoid at all costs. A huge disappointment from Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

ARCTIC: Not to be confused with the other

Mads Mikkelsen hitman comedy, “Polar,” “Arctic” tells the story of a man stranded in the Arctic during a plane crash who has to decide whether to chill by his makeshift camp or walk through the ice. Decent. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

CAPERNAUM: A disturbing look at child-

hood lost, focused on a 12-year-old serving a prison sentence for a violent crime who sues his parents for neglect. A truly upsetting and remarkable work of art. Tin Pan Theater

COLD PURSUIT: Liam Neeson once again

stars in a movie in which he kills people with a particular set of skills, but “Cold Pursuit” is actually a remake of the darkly funny Danish thriller “In Order of Disappearance.” The film deconstructs the entire genre that Neeson has found himself in, right in the middle of his 50s.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House

COLD WAR: This Polish masterpiece is on every single top 10 of 2018 list I’ve seen (usually in the top five). The film is at turns a sumptuous love story and a heartbreaking look at the barriers—real and imagined—that politics can create between us. Tin Pan Theater FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: A surprisingly heartfelt look at siblings obsessed with auditioning for the WWE. For the mind of Stephen Merchant, the co-creator of the British “Office,” this is a lovely look at family and wrestling. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX GLASS: The stories and characters from M.

Night Shyamalan’s “Unbreakable” and “Split” combine here for a fascinating look at the basic building blocks of how we as a modern society create our new myths and origin stories. Worth it just for James McAvoy’s astounding performance.Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX,

GREEN BOOK: A well intentioned but tone-

deaf look at friendship and racism in the 1950s.

While the movie isn’t terrible, there are too many missed opportunities to give the movie a pass.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HAPPY DEATH DAY 2U: This sequel to

the surprising horror hit from 2017 jettisons much of the horror in order to tell a twisty little sci-fi chiller. Way too much fun for its own good and beautifully acted by future mega-star Jessica Rothe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON: The

Hidden World: A wonderful send-off to Hiccup, Toothless an the land of Berk. If this makes a billion, they’ll surely make more in the series but, as it stands, this is the best final film in a

STREAMING THIS WEEK

trilogy we’ve received in a very long time. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinemas

INSTANT FAMILY: Nothing about this movie focused on a white couple adopting three Latinx kids should work, but it really does. Heartwarming, brutally honest and lovely, “Instant Family” is a surprise joy. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX ISN’T IT ROMANTIC: From the creative team

behind the deconstructed horror comedy “The Final Girls” comes their deconstruction of the romantic comedy. Rebel Wilson stars as a cynic who hits her head and wakes up living inside a cheesy PG-!# romantic comedy. Cute as all hell.

Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

THE LEGO MOVIE 2: The Second Part: The first Lego movie was the best-ever cartoon based on a plotless series of connectable building blocks—and this one is a good one, too.

The voice actors are charming and the story hits all the right nostalgia buttons, so prepare to get some more of those ridiculous songs stuck in your head. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema THE NUN: A part of the “Conjuring”

Cinematic Universe,” this tells the story of a haunted Romanian nunnery and the heroes that try to re-consecrate the grounds.

Surprisingly creepy, “The Nun” is another solid entry in the remarkably entertaining franchise. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

RUN THE RACE: An inspirational football story about a teenager whose mother dies, whose father abandons him and who works to get a scholarship to get he and his brother a ticket out of town. At times sad and heart-soaring. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX SERENITY:

No, this is not another “Firefly” sequel. Instead we’ve got a very bizarre-looking mystery/thriller featuring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway as exes with a terrible past. This is from Steven Knight, the writer of the criminally under-seen “Dirty Pretty Things,” so hopefully the film is better than it looks. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX.

THE UPSIDE:

An American remake of the lovely French film, “The Intouchables,” starring Kevin Hart and Bryan Cranston.

If you’ve see the original then you can avoid this one altogether—unless you’re a Kevin Hart completist. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

WHAT MEN WANT:

Taraji P. Henson is a national treasure, so to see her take on the Mel Gibson “What Women Want” formula should be a delight—especially since that movie doesn’t hold up even a little bit. Also: Tracy Morgan. What else is there?! Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

TRIGGER WARNING WITH KILLER MIKE: Killer Mike is half of the hip-hop

duo, Run the Jewels. His new series is one of the most provocative looks at social change ever made. Whether he’s trying to overhaul the school system or trying to get the Crips to monetize their brand, your jaw will drop with each and every episode. Now Streaming on Netflix.

AcaDummy Awards SC SCREEN The Oscars miss the point

By Jared Rasic to really hear someone taking chances with music.

“Shallow” (A Star Is Born) Music and Lyric by Lady Gaga, Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt

I mean, “Shallow” was always gonna win, but wouldn’t it have been sweet to see Kendrick Lamar get an Oscar?

Best ForeignLanguage Film

The diverse writers of “Green Book.”

T

he Oscars were weird this year. I mean, they’re always baffling for at least a few minutes, but this year seemed especially frontloaded with the strangeness. There were several deserving winners, but there were also such terrible choices as to completely cheapen what came before.

Here are a few of the good, the bad and the baffling things that happened at the 91st Academy Awards.

Best Animated Feature

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller) “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” winning here made me think this year the Oscars might get it right. Its only real competition was “Isle of Dogs,” but that film was too slight to make much

impact. “Spider-Man” was a bizarre and nearly perfect superhero film in a year filled with them.

Best Picture

Roma (Mexico)

If “Avengers,” or “Solo” took this, it would be an average year, but “First Man” had a moon landing that made you feel like you were there with the astronauts. A deserving and interesting choice.

“Roma” is an absolutely gorgeous and personal film from Alfonso Cuaron and as good as Spike Lee, Pawel Pawlikowski and Yorgos Lanthimos’ work was, it was always Cuaron’s to lose. What’s really cool about this win is that it’s the first time Mexico has won the Best Foreign Film Oscar even though five of the last six Academy Awards have seen the Best Director and Best Picture Oscars go to Mexican directors. (“Gravity,” “Birdman,” “The Revenant,” “The Shape of Water” and “Roma” for those counting).

Best Original Score

Best Original Screenplay

Best Visual Effects

First Man (Paul Lambert, Ian Hunter, Tristan Myles and J.D. Schwalm)

Black Panther (Ludwig Goransson)

Green Book (Nick Vallelonga, Brian Hayes Currie and While Goransson is a fabulous proPeter Farrelly)

ducer (he also produces Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper’s records), his film scores aren’t quite as memorable. Listen to Nicholas Britell’s score for “If Beale Street Could Talk”

Providing private, compassionate euthanasia services for your cats & dogs in the privacy of your pet’s home.

Here’s where it starts getting funky.

“Green Book,” huh? Even if the script for “First Reformed” wasn’t one of the best in the last 25 years, the fact that

Green Book (Jim Burke, Charles B. Wessler, Brian Currie, Peter Farrelly and Nick Vallelonga, Producers)

My personal pick was “The Favourite,” but that was always gonna be too weird to win. What really bothers me is that two of the other Best Picture nominees (“Black Panther” and “BlacKkKlansman”) are films about the African-American experience from African-American points of view. For “Green Book” to win feels like a co-opting of black stories by white people to sell to white audiences in the mood for self-congratulation. A story of Afro-Futurism and another deconstructing modern American racism might not be what the Academy wanted to win, but those were the actual important stories being told.

Eh. Comparing art is strange to begin with. Maybe next year they’ll do it better.

“Green Book” won is kinda ugly, not just for the fact that it’s the story of a fascinating black man told from the point of view of a white guy, not because the movie is basically white people congratulating each other over and over for not being racist, but because the family of Dr. Don Shirley called the story “a symphony of lies.”

And then here’s where it all falls apart for me. In a year where Spike Lee wins his first Oscar, “Black Panther” wins three, and Mahershala Ali and Regina King both win Supporting Actor awards, we then have this.

Everyday Sheroes

Some local women athletes do it not for the glory of competition, but for the sheer love of the outdoors

By K.M. Collins

Sung Choi, Rentals ski manager at Mt. Bachelor

Whether hiking, mountain biking or skiing, Sung Choi does it all with a smile and wry sense of humor. She’s dabbled in relay races, cross country skiing, motorcycles and “windsurfed and snowboarded in the mid-‘80s.”

“I did Hood to Coast many times,” Choi shares, “and when I finished, I felt a sense of accomplishment and so rewarded for all the training I put in. I love being outside breathing in fresh air—and it really beats cleaning house.”

“Nature is a spiritual connection place for me,” reflects Southwell.

“Although I also like to be with friends on the trails, I spend a lot of time alone for the meditation and calmness being in the beauty of nature brings.”

Southwell describes her most memo-

Mt. Bachelor rentals manager Sung Choi poses at the bottom of Pine Martin with The Cone as a backdrop..

Her current sports goal? Finding time to hike more, like two days a week instead of one. Choi captured the aspirations of many a Central Oregonian when she added, “I want to learn to golf this summer, go on bike rides, go kayaking more and work less.” She adds, “I think we as a society need to be more active in general. We live in an outdoor mecca and we should take full advantage of it.”

rable outdoor adventure, saying, “Once I ‘crust skied’ around Broken Top (which took four hours) in the early morning spring, when the snow was transformed from the freeze-thaw cycles of night and day. One can “float” on top of the snow in this spring ‘crust’ condition, and the volcanic open landscapes of the Sisters/Broken Top area become like skiing on the moon!

Perhaps that’s why they call it “Moon Mountain” up there. This particular day… was both empowering and naturally mind altering, and a lifetime memory.”

Heather Barr, Nurse, mother-to-be

Though I had always admired Heather Barr as a fierce skier and mountain biker, recently I saw a status update her husband posted about a backcountry ski adventure and I was forced to fast track her to role-model status.

The post featured an image of Barr shredding down The Cone, with the caption, “Not saying everyone should tele at dawn while pregnant, but my wife does.

Anatomy scan went well today, so it’s Facebook official. What a great way to ring in the New Year!” Talk about squad goals.

Presently six months pregnant, Barr is working on being OK not doing her usual ski adventures. “I’m taking my dog out cross-country skiing and staying in shape doing yoga, spin and Barre3 classes,” says Barr. “This summer, finding the balance of being a new mom and staying active will be challenging, I’m sure, but I hope to be back on my mountain bike sooner rather than later.”

hen I was a little girl, combing outdoor magazines for inspiration, there was rarely a woman to be found—and if there was, she was always a top performing, elite athlete.

While there are many women who can keep up with the boys and even lead the pack, I know I’m not alone in wanting to also see “sheroes” who are like me— pretty good at sports, but also smart, responsible community members who are generally well rounded. And, on top of that, I wanted to see women who give back to the outdoor community in which they play.

What I couldn’t articulate then, but increasingly notice now, is that women are thirsty to represent broader narratives: less adrenaline junkie, more girlnext-door adventuring. Less big air; more balance and sustainability.

To satisfy the gap in editorial content that I’ve always wished for (a sentiment shared by the editor of this publication, too), we offer this too-short, yet carefully curated list of inspirational, everyday local pow-slaying sheroes.

Bad news… Because we do not leave much fly-food lying about in winter, and further, the house environment is a lot cooler than summer, the flies’ digestive system will not operate efficiently — and well — there you go…

and leave their eggs to start the next generation the following summer. However, gnats (which are also flies), have an astounding behavior in winter.

Some species of gnats seem to wait for winter to prepare for mass breeding orgies. From October to March, on any day when the temperature rises to above 60 degrees, gnats will take advantage of the situation and form a mating swarm to get a head start on the rest of the insects. It’s probably good strategy, as there are very few birds out looking for insects, bats are sleeping, and (most) predatory insects are not about, so they have the world all to themselves.

Which all goes to prove, most times, it is difficult to fool Mother Nature…

When they do, they seem almost completely dehydrated and they actually crumble to dust and body parts when you try to pick them up.” Then the writer asked, “Why don’t they stay outside and just die there?

Best wishes, Philip.”

So, what about those “winter flies?”

To begin with, it’s probably impossible for a common housefly to die outside in winter, even at 30 below zero.

They are similar to many of our-wintering arthropods and have “blood” (not like ours) which becomes antifreeze in winter — the colder it gets, the better the antifreeze.

Many flies, however, become trapped in our houses at the end of summer, and as Philip and many of you have noticed, most of them end up dying in the comfort and “safety” of our warm home. That’s because their physiological time clock (set by the length of daylight — and perhaps by the angle of the sun) has put them into an “outside” hibernation mode and they use up all their stored energy.

At the end of summer, instead of using the food they ingest for mating and laying eggs, they have put on layers of fat that will keep them fueled up through the long winter hibernation. But being in a warm environment near the woodstove, or in the kitchen, keeps their “blood” flowing, which prevents them from going to sleep, so

An alternative way to sell your home, but it might not be for everyone

41

avoid the hassle of a long home selling process, or who don’t have the financial means to fix up their house and get it market ready.

If the hardships of life hit hard, this theory sounds like a good option, especially when buyers dangle that quick relief in front of a seller’s face.

Sometimes sellers can have cash in as little as seven days. It’s important to remember that these are for-profit businesses and their model isn’t set up to benefit the home seller. These investors are looking to make money.

Not only do these companies secure an already reduced sale price, but sellers can expect to pay an extra fee of 6 to 10 percent. That’s upward of two times as much as a typical real estate commission of 5 to 6 percent.

Is this new selling option a threat to the real estate profession and to home buyers looking for their own great deal? In our opinion, it isn’t.

These businesses have been around for a long time, since the 1970s, and while they do make up a considerable chunk of the home purchases nationwide, most homeowners will choose a different path, aspiring to receive top dollar for their home.

W

e know you’ve seen those recognizable signs claiming, “We Buy Your Home 4 Cash” or “Cash Now For Your Fixer.” The premise behind this business model: individuals or private groups of investors will purchase a home quickly, with cash, well below market value, and then fix it up and resell it for a nice profit. Recently we’re seeing a new trend called iBuying gaining traction in real estate markets around the country.

Smaller investment organizations are making these quick and simple purchases, but large corporations including Zillow, Opendoor and Redfin have also joined in on this approach to real estate investing.

The business model mimics the method used by private and individual investors. These companies send their rep to view the property and they make an offer. If the offer is acceptable to the seller, the investors purchase the property with cash and a quick closing. The buyers then make necessary repairs and upgrades and get the home back on the market as soon as possible. Clearly the iBuying service is geared toward distressed properties and desperate homeowners—people who need to

SCIENCE ADVICE GODDESS Youth Hostile

I’m a 35-year-old woman who’s been married for a year to a 70-yearold man. My husband’s closest female friend is also one of his exes.

He’s known her for 40 years. She’s a real sore point for me. She stayed at our apartment while we were away.

She wouldn’t reply to any of my emails but constantly emailed my husband.

Recently, I saw a text my husband sent telling her to just email him at work because I have access to his phone. (That’s how I discovered that she was dissuading him from fixing things with me when we were fighting.) I feel that a husband shouldn’t have marriage-undermining friendships. I want him to stop talking with her. Am I wrong here?

—Angry Take a counterintuitive approach and put yourself in this woman’s shoes: Where’s she supposed to shop for men...the cemetery?

Older women get seriously annoyed at how men their age—typically the wealthiest and most eligible—dip down through the decades for partners. On dating sites, even a 98-year-old man in an iron lung will set his age preference at 18-30, just in case some woman is “open-minded” (uh, about dating a man who has socks far older than she is).

Another thing to consider: In a relationship, it’s common to ask for and expect sexual fidelity. But how much social fidelity is it reasonable to expect?

The notion that a relationship involves becoming somebody’s “one and only” socially, too, sounds romantic but is actually in sharp conflict with the complexity of many people’s lives. Your husband, for example, has had a friendship with this woman for 40 years—five years longer than you’ve even been on the planet. His cutting her out of his life would mean cutting out somebody who understands who he is and where he’s been in a way few people probably do.

That said, it’s natural that you’d wish he’d give this woman the heaveho. The jealousy that gives rise to feelings like this is wrongly maligned as a “bad” emotion. However, like all emotions, it’s actually “adaptive”—which is to say functional. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explains that jealousy seems to have evolved to protect us against threats to our relationship— alerting us to possibilities that our

partner will cheat on us or leave us for another. But jealousy can also be toxic to a relationship and damaging to the mate value of the partner who expresses it. (Nothing like endlessly fretting to your mate that he could trade up to suggest that he should.)

Additionally, consider how counterproductive it often is to tell somebody what to do. The late social psychologist Jack Brehm came up with the term “psychological reactance” to describe a motivational state that automatically rises up in us when we feel our freedom to do as we choose is threatened. Basically, the more somebody tries to control our behavior the more we want to Amy Alkon resist, rebel—do whatever they’ve been trying to stop us from doing. (In short, nothing like being shown that there are straps to put someone in a mind to gnaw through them.)

This isn’t to say you’re necessarily off base about this woman. Chances are, she resents you and is trying to chip away at your bond with your husband. Rotten. However, as for how successful she could be, do you think your husband married you by accident? Like maybe you just happened to be in the passenger seat when he pulled into a drive-thru chapel: “Oops. Thought this was a car wash.”

As annoying as it must be to have this woman lurking around the borders of your marriage, consider the thinking from psychologist Erich Fromm that love is not just a feeling but something you do—sometimes by being a little more generous than you’d really like to be. This isn’t to say you have to shut up entirely about this woman. You can be honest with your husband that you find her undermining.

Ironically, the best way to control your romantic partner is not by trying to control them but by being so loving, supportive, kind, and fun that it would be idiotic for them to leave you. Also, let’s quash any fear you might have that this woman could steal your husband. There’s little novelty (and thus little excitement) in getting together with somebody one’s known and been in touch with for 40 years. Also, recall how men, throughout their life span, tend to be most attracted to the younger ladies. Chances are, if he were to suddenly develop a thing for anything “midcentury,” it would be something like Eames chairs—not a woman who’s aged out of every dating program on TV, unless, of course, you count “Antiques Roadshow.”

ASTROLOGY By Rob Brezsny VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you gorge on sugary treats and soft drinks, you ingest a lot of empty calories. They have a low nutrient density, and provide you with a scant amount of minerals, vitamins, protein, and other necessities. Since I am committed to helping you treat yourself with utmost respect, I always discourage you from that behavior.

But I’m especially hopeful you will avoid it during the next three weeks, both in the literal and metaphorical senses. Please refrain from absorbing barren, vacant stuff into the sacred temple of your mind and body—including images, stories, sounds, and ideas, as well as food and drink.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): South Koreans work too hard. Many are on the job for fourteen hours a day, six days a week. That’s why a new concept in vacations has emerged there. People take sabbaticals by checking into Prison Inside Me, a facility designed like a jail. For a while, they do without cell phones and Internet and important appointments.

Freed of normal stresses and stripped of obsessive concerns, they turn inward and recharge their spiritual batteries. I’d love to see you treat yourself to a getaway like this—minus the incarceration theme, of course. You’d benefit from a quiet, spacious, low-pressure escape.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Charles Grey was the second Earl of Grey, as well as Prime Minister of England from 1830 to 1834. His time in office produced pivotal changes, including the abolition of slavery, reform of child labor laws, and more democracy in the nation’s electoral process. But most people today know nothing of those triumphs.

Rather he is immortalized for the Earl Grey tea that he made popular. I suspect that in the coming weeks, one of your fine efforts may also get less attention than a more modest success. But don’t worry about it. Instead, be content with congratulating yourself for your excellent work. I think that’s the key to you ultimately getting proper appreciation for your bigger accomplishment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The astrology column you’re reading is published in periodicals in four countries: the U.S., Canada, Italy, and France.

In all of these places, women have had a hard time acquiring political power. Neither the U.S. nor Italy has ever had a female head of government. France has had one, Édith Cresson, who served less than a year as Prime Minister. Canada has had one, Kim Campbell, who was in office for 132 days.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that the coming months will be a more favorable time than usual to boost feminine authority and enhance women’s ability to shape our shared reality.

And you Tauruses of all genders will be in prime position to foster that outcome.

Homework: Meditate on specific ways you could contribute, even if just through your personal interactions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A 19-year-old guy named Anson Lemmer started a job as a pizza delivery man in Glenwood, Colorado. On his second night, he arrived with a hot pizza at a house where an emergency was in progress. A man was lying on the ground in distress. Having been trained in CPR, Lemmer leaped to his rescue and saved his life. I expect that you, too, will perform a heroic act sometime soon, Gemini—maybe not as monumental as Lemmer’s, but nonetheless impressive.

And I bet it will have an enduring impact, sending out reverberations that redound to your benefit for quite some time.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Scientist Michael Dillon was shocked when he learned that some bees can buzz around at lofty altitudes where the oxygen is sparse. He and a colleague even found two of them at 29,525 feet—higher than Mt. Everest. How could the bees fly in such thin air? They “didn’t beat their wings faster,” according to a report in National Geographic, but rather “swung their wings through a wider arc.” I propose that we regard these high-flying marvels as your soul animals for the coming weeks. Metaphorically speaking, you will have the power and ingenuity and adaptability to go higher than you’ve been in a long time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you find it a challenge to commit to an entirely plant-based diet?

If so, you might appreciate flexitarianism, which is a less-perfectionist approach that focuses on eating vegetables but doesn’t make you feel guilty if you eat a bit of meat now and then. In general, I recommend you experiment with a similar attitude toward pretty much everything in the coming weeks. Be strong-minded, idealistic, willful, and intent on serving your well-being—but without being a maniacal purist.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): At a young age, budding Scorpio poet Sylvia Plath came to a tough realization: “I can never read all the books I want,” she wrote in her journal. “I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.” Judging by current astrological omens, I can imagine you saying something like that right now. I bet your longing for total immersion in life’s pleasures is especially intense and a bit frustrated. But I’m pleased to predict that in the next four weeks, you’ll be able to live and feel more shades, tones, and variations of experience than you have in a long time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When Europeans invaded and occupied North America, they displaced many indigenous people from their ancestral lands. There were a few notable exceptions, including five tribes in what’s now Maine and Eastern Canada. They are known as the Wabanaki confederacy: the Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Micmac, Maliseet, and Abenaki. Although they had to adjust to and compromise with colonialism, they were never defeated by it. I propose we make them your heroic symbols for the coming weeks. May their resilient determination to remain connected to their roots and origins motivate you to draw ever-fresh power from your own roots and origins.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn javelin thrower Julius Yego won a silver medial at the 2016 Summer Olympics. How did he get so skilled?

Not in the typical way. He gained preliminary proficiency while competing for his high school team, but after graduation, he was too poor to keep developing his mastery. So he turned to Youtube, where he studied videos by great javelin throwers to benefit from their training strategies and techniques. Now that you’re in an intense learning phase of your cycle, Capricorn, I suggest that you, too, be ready to draw on sources that may be unexpected or unusual or alternative.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The first edition of Action Comics, which launched the story of the fictional character Superman, cost ten cents in 1938.

Nowadays it’s worth three million dollars. I’ll make a bold prediction that you, too, will be worth considerably more on December 31, 2019 than you are right now. The increase won’t be as dramatic as that of the Superman comic, but still: I expect a significant boost. And what you do in the next four weeks could have a lot to do with making my prediction come true.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Until the sixteenth century in much of Europe and the eighteenth century in Britain, the new year was celebrated in March. That made sense given the fact that the weather was growing noticeably warmer and it was time to plant the crops again. In my astrological opinion, the month of March is still the best time of year for you Pisceans to observe your personal new year. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to start fresh in any area of your life. If you formulate a set of New Year’s resolutions, you’re more likely to remain committed to them than if you had made them on January 1.
