Kudos to the Superintendent for a Call to Action on School Safety Missing from that call to action? A call to ban semi-automatic weapons

I WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 1, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

4

n February, yet another massive deadly shooting on a high school campus in Florida.

This past week, the threat of a shooting at Bend Senior High School, on the heels of several other alleged threats at other local schools.

With local students and parents asking themselves what very well might have been this past week, this issue is hitting home.

As we reported Thursday, Bend Police say they arrested a 16-year-old student after confirming the student’s alleged threat against Bend High was credible. Officers say they found “the means to complete a shooting” inside the student’s home. The teen suspect, according to a call to action written to legislators by Bend-La Pine Schools Superintendent Shay Mikalson, is still in custody—but, he very well could be back on the streets today.

In that letter written to members of the Bend-La Pine Schools community, Mikalson urged lawmakers to: “create a new crime in Oregon of terroristic threat at a felony level” and “fund threat assessment teams to provide threat assessments to youth in crisis” and “extend maximum detention from 36 hours to 10 days for misdemeanor charges filed against youth with weapons offenses or who have made threats against others.”

In addition, Mikalson reminded the community that Bend Police are offering free cable locks to help families lock up firearms as well as pills to keep them away from children. Mikalson also outlined the district’s efforts to create secure lobbies in all BendLa Pine schools.

While we commend the district for making this public statement in the wake of what could have been a deadly incident, we take exception with several points.

Secure lobbies do nothing to stop a student or other member of the school community from bringing a firearm into a school—unless that secure lobby also includes a metal detector. What secure lobbies do achieve, however, is to restrict undocumented parents and others without IDs from accessing their students’ schools.

Also, stricter penalties against those who are identified as making threats are good— and keeping a tighter rein on existing firearms is a no-brainer, but we would have liked to see a statement calling for even stricter gun control in that call to action. Political firebrand for a public figure, yes, but something we believe is still vital from our local leaders.

What could also have been included— and totally appropriate—would have been a nod to the Oregon Legislature and its passage of House Bill 4145—the so-called “boyfriend loophole” law—which made it through the Oregon Senate Feb. 22. That legislation, now awaiting Gov. Kate Brown’s signature, allows cops to confiscate guns from stalkers and domestic abusers who are not wed to their alleged victims. While not a direct tie to school shootings, it’s an effort to keep guns out of the wrong hands—something we believe we need more of.

In a report in Florida’s Sun-Sentinel, criminal justice expert Anne S. Teigen of the National Conference of State Legislatures said the bill appears to be the first gun control law passed since the slayings at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. this February.

Good on you, Oregon Legislature.

What should stick with you: Rep. Knute Buehler voted in favor of that bill, while Sen. Tim Knopp, Rep. Mike McLane and Rep. Gene Whisnant voted no. These are our local legislators, Central Oregon—and we believe they should recognize the threat that guns can pose in the wrong hands.

We applaud Superintendent Mikalson for his efforts and his willingness to speak out against threats to the district’s children, and to issue a public call to action. We urge readers to remember those who voted against sensible legislation in this year’s legislative session, and to speak up for those who appear to be hearing the clarion call for sensible efforts to protect children where they are most vulnerable. This is not about restricting anyone’s ability to hunt or protect their home. This is basic public safety. SW

The 2/15 story, “Could TCOs Get KOed?” incorrectly attributed a quote in the sixth paragraph, regarding the origins of limiting the number of TCOs. It should have been attributed to Ben Hemson, not Joshua Romero. We regret the error.

IN RESPONSE TO STUFF WE LEARNED FROM JIM IN 2017

SCHOOL SHOOTINGS We live in the land of the free (to carry assault weapons) and the home of the brave (to show up to school).

The following story may be apocryphal, but it is nevertheless instructive. An 18th century psychiatrist invented a test for lunacy. He turned on the taps in one corner of a room, and placed a mop and bucket in the other corner. Those who grabbed the mop and bucket to frantically keep pace with the mess were deemed insane. Those who simply turned off the tap earned a clean bill of health.

If the U.S. had a national implement it would have to be the AR-15 assault rifle. But the mop and bucket would be a close second. Today I received in my email a list of mop and bucket solutions from the Bend-La Pine school district, describing how it is dealing with the threat of school shootings. The approaches it listed are turning our schools into an increasingly credible replicate of a militarized zone.

turned off the tap after its last school shooting 22 years ago. It has not had one since.

No doubt the Bend-La Pine school district, and many like it across our country, are doing their best to keep our children safe. But as long as the NRA controls our politicians, the fight will never be fair: AR-15s versus mops and buckets.

Missing from the school district’s list was a pledge to support—and even encourage— the sane students who plan to participate in a nation-wide school walkout in March that will advocate for turning off the tap. I very much hope that the district will support and even celebrate the walkout. On this issue, our kids—our future—have something to teach us.

It was at the famous open mic at Connor O’Neil’s in Boulder. It was so popular you were prohibited from playing two weeks in a row, and there I was, first time singing/playing acoustic ever and in front of 20 or so very talented musicians/friends as well as a few dozen onlookers. I forgot the words, the chords, and my already “Canada Goose in Pain” voice was worsened by the sheer fear that nearly put me in a coma. Embarrassed beyond what’s considered normal, I hid in shame.

A sympathetic voice kindly mentioned that people only remember your last performance and I hopped right on that idea by signing up for vocal lessons, doubling down on my practice and signing up again a month later.

Here is my answer to the free ranging cat problem that a recent letter writer complained about: If we can afford a half-dozen dog parks here in Bend, then why not establish several cat parks? They could have scratchy posts, fresh running water, extra-large sand boxes and cat toys hanging from tree branches.

Perhaps our wealthy Parks Department might consider buying any one of the local financially failing golf courses and converting that to a cat park!

What an ideal place for cats. All those wonderful sand traps, fresh water, plenty of trees and branches galore to hang cat toys from. For those who insist that cats be locked up and kept from ranging free, why not at least furnish a few cat parks?

Or do the dog folks insist on discrimination against free ranging felines?

BTW, a recent Public Broadcasting program focused on a British study on free ranging cats that proved they kill far fewer birds than previously believed. Don’t forget that cats do kill rodents and have often helped control the various threats attributed to free ranging rats and other rodents.

“Bloodsport” and more in Trump’s movie syllabus

By Brandon Soderberg

T

hat “Bloodsport” is Donald Trump’s favorite movie is, like so many things about Trump, thinly sourced, apocryphal yet pathetic, and regularly reported as fact.

He once praised the 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle, a crude tapestry of gnarled battles and quiet-moment scenery-chewing about an American’s victory in a Hong Kong underground fighting tournament, in Mark Singer’s 1997 New Yorker article. And that’s about it.

But facts don’t matter with Trump and it makes cosmic sense that “Bloodsport”—released 30 years ago—would be Trump’s favorite movie. It says something about political discourse too: The turning point involves its hero, Frank Dux (Van Damme) proudly punching someone squarely in the dick.

“When you’re in a fight with a bully, always throw the first punch—and don’t telegraph it—hit hard & hit fast!” - @realdonaldtrump, Sept. 25, 2014 Trump is full of it and the real-life Frank Dux was, too.

West Coast martial arts instructor and veteran Dux turned his life into a grandiose story of covert operations and victory in a fighting tournament called

the Kumite, which he recounted to karate magazines not so hot on fact checking. Eventually, his account of those events became “Bloodsport.” That’s when the Los Angeles Times exposed its “true story” as a lunkheaded hustle: The Kumite trophies Dux won were from a Hollywood-based trophy manufacturer, a Kumite-related organization’s address was Dux’s own, the “secret” medal of honor he was awarded seemed sketchy, and a few friends half-assedly corroborated his stories (“If he says it’s true, it’s fine with me,” a high school buddy told the Times).

“If it was anybody else, I’d say what’s going to happen to you would be a lesson to you. Only you’re going to need more than one lesson.” - “Citizen Kane” Trump frequently cites “Citizen Kane” as another favorite, because of course: It’s a massive critique of power and control that flexes and bloviates like the powerful, so it appeals to powerful bloviators, the way rich coke-snorting dickheads like “The Wolf of Wall Street,” or man-baby losers love “Garden State.”

Trump’s “Bloodsport” love, meanwhile, is cast as yet another example of how un-presidential he is—a 1988

actioner is surely beneath the presidency. Worse, as detailed in the New Yorker, is one of his sons fast-forwarding to the ass-kicking parts, squashing the movie into a supercut of thrills. Through this, you can learn something about the absurdity of respectability politics that mar political conversation: The problem with Trump is, as always, not his opinion or his point of view so much, but how he goes about it. He doesn’t even watch his favorite movie; he races through it like it’s porn.

On the campaign trail, Trump often entered events to music from 1997’s “Air Force One,” a movie where the president does away with all of the separations of power and literally defeats terrorists himself.

“You lose, American asshole!” - “Bloodsport” Trump is all about bloodsport. His reality shows were bloodsport, the business world he stomped around in is bloodsport, the primaries were all about drawing blood for him, and when he offers up something like teachers becoming Charles Bronsons and arming themselves so they can get into shootouts with school shooters, that’s bloodsport. Our reality show president,

o t k Tal aw

LaP

the totally logical next step after Hollywood actor Reagan—with detours into sub-Kennedy creep Clinton and warmongering dullard Dubya, parts of which Trump also subsumed—eats up the fuck-it-see-how-it-shakes-out pathology of reality TV. Remember, that New Yorker article said Trump turned off 1996’s “Michael,” a sentimental snooze starring John Travolta as a schlubby angel, 20 minutes in and put on “Bloodsport” instead. And as Trump watched Van Damme drop down into a split, stick his fist straight out, and bop his opponent in the junk in slow-motion, a unique example of how Trump pops the hood on reality followed.

“You want to write that Donald Trump was loving this ridiculous JeanClaude Van Damme movie,” Trump said to reporter Singer. “But are you willing to put in there that you were loving it, too?” He dares Singer to embrace “Bloodsport” and suggests that if he doesn’t he’s just denying himself a hard truth. This is the typically Trumpian dick-punch: His bullshit detector is strong though his own propensity for bullshit is unmatched.

“Unfortunately, most thugs and muggers aren’t looking for a fair fight.” - Frank Dux in “Self-Defense Against Knives,” 1980.

A shabby epilogue courtesy of TMZ (who else): Van Damme, in 2016, holding a small dog, wearing a hat that says “JCVD” (the name of the first of two meta-action projects he has made where he plays a sundowning version of himself), loose as a goose, reedy, hardly the boyish Frank Dux, pacing around a parking lot, praising The Donald.

“You’re talking about the wrong things in politics. Right now, you need a guy like—” Van Damme told TMZ cameras, then stumbled for a second and reset. “I would say, look, I love my brother Muslims. They love martial arts, I love them. I love everybody on earth.

Right now, we need Donald Trump.” SW

SIDE NOTES­ By Chris Miller 2018 Real Estate Forecast

Courtesy of Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office

Expect more of the same: high prices, low inventory 7 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 09 / March 1, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Central Oregon’s real estate forecast for the coming year is like Bend in the summer: predictable and without much change.

The same factors that have affected area real estate for the last few years— limited inventory and an influx of new people to the area—are still in play.

According to Business Oregon’s website, which gets its information from the Bureau of Labor, Bend’s current median home price is $404,000 and the median household income is $60,404.

At a real estate forecast breakfast this week, put on by the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, Hayden Homes’ Geoff Harris said that someone earning $60,000 per year is about $140,000 short of being able to afford the median house cost. Molly Brundage, with BrundageSmith real estate, said there’s only one house in Bend that’s currently for sale under $300,000, which is still too expensive for a standard household.

A survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors shows people still believe in buying houses, with 86 percent of Millennial generation agreed that buying a home is a good financial decision. However, data the NAR provided showed less than 40 percent of people 34 and under currently own homes nationwide. Part of the issue, according to the NAR, is debt—specifically, student loan debt—for first-time buyers. Over 50 percent of those surveyed said student loans are holding them back from saving for their first house.

Dr. Paul Bishop, vice president of research for the NAR, said to the audience during the breakfast the U.S. still isn’t building enough homes, a problem that’s been occurring since 2007.

According to NAR statistics, 1.4 million houses annually nationwide is the benchmark for housing starts. Since 2006—the last time the U.S. hit the mark—the most was 1 million in 2007, and only a handful above 400,000 in both 2009 and 2010. At the same time, multifamily starts (apartments and condos) have surpassed the 350,000 benchmark since 2105.

According to Harris, there are a number of factors to why new homes are expensive in Bend. For starters, the average lot cost is $150,000. Add the $25,000 in permitting, and you’re already at $175,000 without moving a piece of dirt. Another factor is the skyrocketing cost of labor. He said Bend lost most of the skilled labor force— electricians and plumbers—when the last real estate bubble burst and the skilled labor market has been slow to recover.

According to the NAR, the average impact of a home sale in Oregon is $80,000 for the local economy. Broken

Everyone safely escaped this Feb. 24 fire that destroyed a home in Sisters.

down, about $25,000 comes from real estate-related industries, just shy of $5,000 in furniture, appliances and remodeling, then $14,500 in a “multiplier” effect and over $35,000 in an “induced” effect.

The NAR says commercial and residential real estate account for about 20 percent of all U.S. economic activity.

Sisters House Fire Destroys Home

Children were pulled to safety; family displaced On Sunday, Feb. 24 a fire engulfed a house in the Panoramic View Estates neighborhood in Sisters. Although the house is a total loss, the homeowners were able to pull their children to safety.

According to the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office, the homeowners heard noises in the bedroom area of the home before finding smoke and flames in their children’s bedrooms. They tried to kill the blaze with fire extinguishers, but had to flee wearing only pajamas.

The Sheriff ’s Office said firefighters from Cloverdale Rural Fire Protection District, Sisters—Camp Sherman Fire District, Black Butte Rural Fire District and the Crooked River Ranch Rural Fire Protection District—all were dispatched to fight the blaze. The City of Bend and Redmond Fire Departments provided backup services while the firefighters worked into the early

morning in freezing temperatures to knock down the blaze and investigate the cause.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office has taken over the investigation, and according to the DCSO, the cause is believed to be accidental.

Bend Police Looking for Help Locating Missing Woman Ex-boyfriend taken into custody

Sara Diana Gomez, a 24-year-old Bend woman, has been missing since Feb. 19, according to the Bend Police Department.

On Tuesday, Feb. 20 a concerned friend called the Redmond Police to report Gomez hadn’t returned home for a few days. Redmond Police forwarded the information to Bend Police, who, on Feb. 21 identified Bryan Penner, a former boyfriend of Gomez, as a person of interest. According to Bend Police, detectives executed a search warrant at Penner’s home and found evidence they believe to be linked to the disappearance of Gomez. Penner was taken into custody and is now in the Deschutes County Jail on the alleged charges of Kidnap II, Theft II and Restraining Order Violation. Gomez had an active restraining order on Penner.

Lt. Clint Burleigh told the Source Weekly that detectives and officers have been following up on information coming in daily. SW

For years, media outlets desperately chased the clicks promised by Facebook. Now the social media giant threatens to destroy them

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 1, 2018 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Story by Daniel Walters Illustrations by Jeff Drew

A

s with any toxic relationship, the possibility of a breakup sparks feelings of terror — and maybe a little bit of a relief.

That’s the spot that Facebook has put the news business in. Early this year, the social media behemoth announced it would once again alter its News Feed algorithm to show users even more posts from their friends and family, and a lot fewer from media outlets.

The move isn’t surprising. Ever since the 2016 election, Facebook’s been under siege for creating a habitat where fake news stories flourished. Their executives were dragged before Congress last year to testify about how they sold ads to Russians who wanted to influence the U.S. election, and so, in some ways, it’s simply easier to get out of the news business altogether.

But for the many news outlets that have come to rely on Facebook funneling readers to their sites, the impact of a separation sounds catastrophic.

“The End of the Social News Era?” a New York Times headline asked. “Facebook is breaking up with news,” an ad for the new BuzzFeed app proclaimed.

When a giant like Facebook takes a step— until recently, the social media site had been sending more traffic to news outlets than Google—the resulting quake can cause an entire industry to crumble.

Consumers, meanwhile, have grimaced as their favorite media outlets have stooped to sensational headlines to lure Facebook’s web traffic. They’ve become disillusioned by the flood of hoaxes and conspiracy theories that have run rampant on the site.

A Knight Foundation/Gallup poll in January revealed only a third of Americans had a positive view of the media. About 57 percent said websites or apps using algorithms to determine which news stories readers see was a major problem for democracy. Twothirds believed the media being “dramatic or too sensational in order to attract more readers or viewers” was a major problem.

Now, sites that rely on Facebook’s algorithm have watched the floor drop out from under them when the algorithm is changed— all while Facebook has gobbled up chunks of print advertising revenue.

It’s all landed media outlets in a quandary: It sure seems like Facebook is killing journalism. But can journalism survive without it?

“Traffic is such a drug right now,” says Sean Robinson, a 53-year-old investigative reporter at the Tacoma News Tribune. “The industry is hurting so bad that it’s really hard to detox.”

YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT It’s perhaps the perfect summation of the Internet age: a website that started because a college kid wanted to rank which coeds were hotter became a global goliath powerful enough to influence the fate of the news industry itself.

When Facebook launched its “News Feed” in 2006, it ironically didn’t have anything to do with news. At least, not how we think of it. The website still posted a broken-heart icon when you changed your status from “In a Relationship” to “Single.”

The News Feed was intended to be a list of personalized updates from friends. When Facebook was talking about “news stories,” it meant, in the words of Facebook’s announcement, like “when Mark adds Britney Spears to his Favorites or when your crush is single again.”

But in 2009, Facebook introduced its iconic “like” button. Soon, instead of showing posts in chronological order, the

News Feed began showing you the popular posts first.

And that made all the difference.

Facebook didn’t invent going viral— grandmas with AOL accounts were forwarding funny emails and chain letters when Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was still in grade school—but its algorithm amplified it. Well-liked posts soared. Unpopular posts simply went unseen.

Google had an algorithm too. So did YouTube.

Journalists were given a new directive: If you wanted readers to see your stories, play by the algorithm’s rules. Faceless, mystery formulas had replaced the stodgy newspaper editor as the gatekeeper of information.

So when the McClatchy Company—a chain that owns 31 daily papers including the Tacoma News Tribune and the Bellingham Herald—launched its reinvention strategy last year, knowing how to get Facebook traffic was central.

“Facebook has allowed us to get our journalism out to hundreds of millions more people than it would have otherwise,” says McClatchy’s Vice President of News, Tim Grieve, a former Politico editor. “It has forced us, and all publishers, to sharpen our game to make sure we’re writing stories that connect with people.”

With digital ad rates tied to web traffic, the incentives in the modern media landscape could be especially perverse: Write short, write lots. Pluck heartstrings or stoke fury.

In short, be more like Upworthy. A site filled with multi-sentence emotion-baiting headlines, Upworthy begged you to click by promising that you would be shocked, outraged or inspired — but not telling you why.

By November of 2013, Upworthy was pulling in 88 million unique visitors a month. With Facebook’s help, the formula spread.

The Bellingham Herald headlined a short crime story about the arrest of a carjacker this way: “Four people, two cars, one gun.

What happens next?”

A short Herald story asking for tips about a recent spree of indecent exposure was headlined, “She was looking at her phone, but the man wanted her to watch him masturbate.”

Even magazines including Time and Newsweek began pumping out articles like, “Does Reese Witherspoon Have 3 Legs on Vanity Fair’s Cover?” and “Trump’s Hair Loss Drug Causes Erectile Dysfunction.”

Newsweek’s publisher went beyond clickbait; the magazine was actually buying traffic through pirated video sites, allegedly engaging in ad fraud.

Last month, Newsweek senior writer

Matthew Cooper resigned in disgust after several Newsweek editors and reporters who’d written about the publisher’s series of scandals were fired. He heaped contempt on an organization that had installed editors who “recklessly sought clicks at the expense of accuracy, retweets over fairness” and left him “despondent not only for Newsweek but for the other publications that don’t heed the lessons of this publication’s fall.”

Mathew Ingram, who covers digital media for Columbia Journalism Review, says such tactics might increase traffic for a while. But readers hate it.

“Short term you can make a certain amount of money,” Ingram says. “Long term you’re basically setting fire to your brand.”

One strategy throughout the industry is to downplay the location of a story: readers in other markets are more likely to click if they don’t know it happened thousands of miles away.

Robinson, the veteran Tacoma News Tribune reporter, says local cops have complained about crime stories from elsewhere that were being shared on Facebook by local TV stations without context — worrying local readers were being misled into thinking they happened in Tacoma.

CLICKBAIT AND SWITCH Plenty of media outlets have tried to build their business on the foundation of the News Feed algorithm. But they quickly got a nasty surprise: That foundation can collapse in an instant.

As Facebook’s News Feed became choked with links to Upworthy and its horde of imitators, the social network declared war on clickbait. It tweaked its algorithms, which proved catastrophic for Upworthy.

“It keeps changing,” Ingram says, “Even if the algorithm was bad in some way, at least if it’s predictable, you could adapt.”

A 2014 Time magazine story estimated that two to three global algorithm tweaks on Facebook were happening every week.

Six years ago, for example, KHQ, a TV news station in Spokane, Wash., told readers they’d have “an ENTIRE day here on FB dedicated to positive local news” if the post got liked 500 times. It worked. The post got more than 1,200 likes, and KHQ followed through with a puppy-picture-laden “Feel Good Friday!!!”

Under the current Facebook algorithm that tactic could get their entire page demoted. So could using shameless “you-won’t-believe-what-happened-next” style phrases.

Much of the time, Facebook and Google don’t announce their shifts up front. Media outlets often have had to reverse-engineer

local news and announcements, beta-testing the concept in cities like Olympia, Wash.

But in early tests, the site seemed to have trouble determining what’s local.

Seattle Times’ reporter Joe O’Sullivan noted on Twitter that of the five stories featured in a screenshot of Facebook’s Olympia test, “NONE OF THEM ARE OLYMPIA STORIES. ZERO.” “It just, more and more, seems like Facebook and news are not super compatible,” says Shan Wang, staff writer at Harvard University’s Nieman Journalism Lab. At least not for real news. For fake news, Facebook’s been a perfect match.

FAKING IT There was a time Facebook was positively smug about their impact on the world. After all, they’d seen their platform fan the flames of popular uprisings during the Arab Spring in places like Tunisia, Iran and Egypt.

“By giving people the power to share, we are starting to see people make their voices heard on a different scale from what has historically been possible,” Zuckerberg bragged in a 2012 letter to investors under the head-

Donald Trump has played a role. He snatched away the term used to describe hoax websites and wielded it as a blunderbuss against the press, blasting away at any negative reporting as “fake news.”

By last May, a Harvard-Harris poll found that almost two-thirds of voters believed that mainstream news outlets were full of fake news stories.

The danger of fake news, after all, wasn’t just that we’d be tricked with bogus claims.

It was that we’d be pummeled with so many different contradictory stories, with so many different angles, the task of trying to sort truth from fiction just becomes exhausting.

So you choose your own truth. Or Facebook’s algorithm chooses it for you.

Every time you like a comment, chat or click on Facebook, the site uses that to figure out what you actually want to see: It inflates your own bubble, protecting you from facts or opinions you might disagree with.

And when it does expose you to views from the other side, it’s most likely going to be the worst examples, the trolls eager to make people mad online, or the infuriating op-ed that all your friends are sharing.

Donald Trump has played a role. He snatched away the term used to describe hoax websites and wielded it as a blunderbuss against the press, blasting away at any negative reporting as “fake news.” er, “We hope to change how people relate to their governments and social institutions.”

And Facebook certainly has — though not the way it intended.

A BuzzFeed investigation before the 2016 presidential election found that “fake news” stories on Facebook, hoaxes or hyper-partisan falsehoods actually performed better on Facebook than stories from major trusted outlets like the New York Times.

That, experts speculated, is another reason why Facebook, despite its massive profits, might be pulling back from its focus on news.

“As unprecedented numbers of people channel their political energy through this medium, it’s being used in unforeseen ways with societal repercussions that were never anticipated,” writes Samidh Chakrabarti, Facebook’s product manager for civic engagement, in a recent blog post.

The exposure was widespread. A Dartmouth study found about a fourth of Americans visited at least one fake-news website — and Facebook was the primary vector of misinformation. While researchers didn’t find fake news swung the election — though about 80,000 votes in three states is a pretty small margin to swing — the effect has endured.

That’s partly why many of the 3,000 Facebook ads that Russian trolls allegedly bought to influence the election weren’t aimed at promoting Trump directly. They were aimed at inflaming division in American life by focusing on such issues as race and religion.

Facebook has tried to address the fake news problem — hiring fact checkers to examine stories, slapping “disputed” tags on suspect claims, putting counterpoints in related article boxes — but with mixed results.

The recent Knight Foundation/Gallup poll, meanwhile, found that those surveyed believed that the broader array of news sources actually made it harder to stay well-informed.

“Overall, young people’s ability to reason about the information on the internet can be summed up in one word: bleak,” Stanford researchers concluded in a 2016 study of over 7,800 students. More than 80 percent of middle schoolers surveyed didn’t know the difference between sponsored content and a news article.

It’s why groups like Media Literacy Now have successfully pushed legislatures in states like Washington to put media literacy programs in schools.

That includes teaching students how

information was being manipulated behind the scenes, says the organization’s president Erin McNeill.

“With Facebook, for example, why am I seeing this story on the top of the page?” she asks. “Is it because it’s the most important story, or is it because of another reason?”

But Facebook’s new algorithm threatens to make existing fake news problems even worse, Ingram says. By focusing on friends and family, it could strengthen the filter bubble even further. Rewarding “engagement” can just as easily incentivize the worst aspects of the internet.

Facebook hasn’t wanted to push beyond the algorithm and play the censor. In fact, it’s gone in the opposite direction. After Facebook was accused of suppressing conservative news sites in its Trending Topics section in 2016, it fired its human editors. (Today, conspiracy theories continue to show up in Facebook’s Trending Topics.)

Instead, to determine the quality of news sites, Facebook is rolling out a two-question survey about whether users recognized certain media outlets, and whether they found them trustworthy. The problem, as many tech writers pointed out, is that a lot of Facebook users, like Trump, consider the Washington Post and the New York Times to be “fake news.”

The other problem? There are a lot fewer trustworthy news sources out there.

“If you’re really, really hyper-focused— geographically or on a topic—then you have a chance,” Ingram says. “Your readership will be passionate enough to support you in some way.”

That’s one reason some actually welcome the prospect of less Facebook traffic. Slate’s Will Oremus recently wrote that less news on Facebook would eventually cleanse news of “the toxic incentives of the algorithm on journalism.”

Maybe, the thinking goes, without a reliance on Facebook clicks, newspapers would once again be able to build trust with their readers. Maybe, the hope goes, readers would start seeking out newspapers directly again.

But even if Facebook suddenly ceased to exist, there are other sites with other algorithms that can drive traffic and shape coverage. As traffic referred by Facebook falls, the focus at McClatchy is already shifting. You can optimize your news coverage to appear high in the Facebook News Feed — but you can also optimize it to appear higher in the Google search results.

“We’re all about Google, again,” says Robinson, the News Tribune reporter. “Google, Google, Google.” SW A version of this article first appeared in the Inlander in Spokane, Wash.

9 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 09 / March 1, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

the changes, before issuing new commands to their troops in the field.

“Oh, they changed their algorithm again?”

Robinson says. “Oh, what is it today, coach?

OK, it’s 50-word [headlines] instead of 60?”

A pattern emerged. Step 1: Media outlets reinvent themselves for Facebook. Step 2: Facebook makes that reinvention obsolete.

Big publishers leaped at the chance to publish “Instant Articles” directly on Facebook, only to find that the algorithm soon charged, rewarding videos more than posts and rendering Instant Articles largely obsolete. So publishers like Mic.com, Mashable and Vice News “pivoted to video,” laying off dozens of journalists in the process.

“Then Facebook said they weren’t as interested in video anymore,” Ingram says.

“Classic bait and switch.”

Which brings us to the latest string of announcements: The News Feed, Zuckerberg announced last month, had skewed too far in the direction of social video posts from national media pages and too far away from personal posts from friends and family.

They were getting back to their roots.

And now, news organizations who’d dumped a lot of money into eye-catching pre-recorded video would suffer the most under the latest algorithm changes, Facebook’s News Feed VP Adam Mosseri told TechCrunch last month, because “video is such a passive experience.”

Even before the announcement, news sites had seen their articles get fewer and fewer hits from Facebook.

“Some media outlets saw their [Facebook] traffic decline by as much as 30 to 40 percent,” Ingram says. “Everybody knew something was happening, but we didn’t know what.”

It might be easy to mock those who chased the algorithm from one trend to another with little to show for it. But the reality, Ingram says, is that many of them didn’t really have a choice.

“You pretty much have to do something with Facebook,” Ingram says. “You have to.

It’s like gravity. You can’t avoid it.”

Zuckerberg’s comments that stories that sparked “meaningful social interactions” would do the best on Facebook caused some to scoff.

“For Facebook, it’s bad if you read or watch content without reacting to it on Facebook. Let that sink in for a moment,” tech journalist Joshua Topolsky wrote at The Outline. “This notion is so corrupt it’s almost comical.”

In subsequent announcements, Facebook gave nervous local news outlets some better news: They’d rank local community news outlets higher in the feed than national ones.

They were also launching an experiment for a new section called “Today In,” focusing on

Bye Bye, Riverhouse Jazz

Taylor Eigsti submitted

Series ends after this season

I

f you’ve been a fan of the Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz series, this might come as bad news: The series will end after the current season. Executive Producer Marshall Glickman penned a letter sent Feb. 20, announcing the decision to discontinue the series after this season. Glickman told the Source Weekly the decision was a financial one.

“We’ve done very well on the revenue side, meaning we did great with sponsorships—really good—I don’t think the support of sponsors could be better, and we’ve done well with tickets,” Glickman said Tuesday. “The reality is, it’s expensive to produce the shows.” (Editor’s note: the Source Weekly is a sponsor.) While Glickman produces the shows, the financial burden rested on Riverhouse on the Deschutes, whose leaders ultimately made the call the shutter the series.

Bend currently has three jazz series—including Jazz at Joe’s, Jazz at the Oxford and the Riverhouse shows.

Glickman says doing a relatively small series, while also bringing in high-quality acts is a delicate balancing act. Still, he hopes to see a reintroduction of his series sometime in the future. Glickman says he pursued moving the series to the Tower Theatre in downtown Bend, but says no Saturday evening dates were available in the coming year.

That, he said, speaks to a growing community need: the need for more performance spaces or another dedicated performing arts hall in Bend.

“If there was a real community effort—if there was a real coalition of electeds and community leaders and they wanted to really get it done, instead of just talk about it, then I would be all over that,” Glickman said.

The Mt. Bachelor Riverhouse Jazz series has two remaining dates before the series ends. SW Taylor Eigsti Quartet (w/ Harish Raghaven, Eric Harland & Julian Lage) Fri. March 23 & Sat. March 24 7:30 both shows

Dan Balmer Extravaganza (w/ 3 Trios) Fri. Apr. 20 & Sat. Apr. 21 7:30 pm both shows

At Farm to Fork, donors enjoy an impeccably prepared feast from local farms, as youth gain job skills.

The 2017 Farm to Fork Dinner at Pronghorn Resort was a huge success. Our partnership with Aperion Management Group helped us double the amount raised from last year’s event. Our youth were featured heavily throughout the evening, with some being trained as servers, and others having the opportunity to be guests and bravely speak about their experiences with Heart of Oregon Corps.

“My favorite thing is working construction on houses. I love it here. It’s not just sitting in a classroom, which didn’t work for me. Heart of Oregon has kept me on track, and it is definitely showing in my grades.”

“Heart of Oregon is a great place to work, because it’s filled with nice people. I learn new work skills, and how to work better in a group. I’ve learned how to run a chainsaw and how to build a fence. I’m proud to start my fourth term of service with HOC.”

“Heart of Oregon is a chance to change your life. They gave me a chance when other people gave up on me. Before Heart of Oregon I wasn’t going to school often, I wasn’t motivated, and got tired of being a disappointment. Now, I feel like I can accomplish anything.”

A FLEET

FOR THE FUTURE

We did it! With community support we raised over half a million dollars; purchased a modern fleet of 22 vehicles, trailers, and equipment; and established a fleet reserve fund.

Now we can safely and efficiently transport our youth to their work sites where they inspire and empower positive change in their lives and their communities. Youth take pride in our new vehicles, and they know that our community cares about their success. Thank You!

StartupBend, she says, is “a connecting place for startups and a megaphone for startups.” She works out of a small office in the nonprofit BendTECH co-working space, on whose board she also serves and organizes events.

“I’ve been really active in supporting the startup community and sharing their ideas and helping people start up companies outside of metro areas. The passion behind StartupBend is to show people that it’s possible to start up a company.”

ome creative partnerships come naturally. That was the case for Mehama Kaupp and Leah Rutz, the founders of Bend Burlesque Co. They met on a boat and were immediately drawn together by a shared artistic passion in the form of burlesque. Five years later, they are still at it, with a whole troupe of talented people and now a regularly monthly performance at Silver Moon Brewery during First Fridays.

“Creatively collaborating with people has allowed us to create a family of performers. Burlesque is vulnerable and it takes a lot of courage to do your thing. It’s not easy, so it’s been great to create a family of performers. It builds confidence and gratitude for other people,” says Rutz. As a result of teaching burlesque classes, Kaupp and Lutz have helped to grow interest in burlesque in Bend. They’re even opening up the stage

concern. This has been a game-changer for communities like Bend.

“Bend is an amazing startup community filled with people who want you to be a success. People are always thinking of new ideas and there’s always problems to solve.” Access to investment funds used to be a problem, Kelly says, but there are now groups and individuals in Bend looking to invest in startups.

When she and Justin are not talking and breathing startups, they like to ski with their 9-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter. “We also spend a lot of time on soccer fields and in gymnastics,” Kelly says.

Husband Justin also relishes riding bikes, while Kelly says she’s been a lifelong distance runner, so she gets a high out of trail running. “I’ve always been a cross-country nerd.” SW StartupBend

By Teafly Peterson this Friday to allow 10 new performers to experience what it means to perform burlesque and grow their skills.

“When we teach, we discuss how we have become more fully ourselves through the practice of burlesque. Your body is your canvas. My art form is my body. For us, burlesque is not about turning people on, but rather explaining what is going on in your life and resonating in your being,” Kaupp adds. The pair sees this Friday as an open audition, to encourage more people to understand the role of burlesque, find some new performers to get on stage and support a growing community. There will even be prizes.

While Bend Burlesque Co. will be holding regular performances on First Fridays, the troupe is also working on a new show coming at the end of March, called “Ya Dig?” It’s a collaboration with Company Grand, the band that helped bring Kaupp and Rutz together five years ago. The show, with Company Grand as live musical accompaniment, consists of

both live music and the band, bringing the troupe up to 20 members—a true feat for any performance group.

While you can catch Bend Burlesque Co. every First Friday at Silver Moon, it’s the new show the founders say brings new excitement. New performers and guests allow the troupe to continue to grow, inspire and showcase the true meaning of burlesque—a multi-faceted medium that encourages loving yourself and celebrating every body.

Originally from Spokane, Wash., Kelly earned a degree in journalism from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma. She and her husband, Justin Johnson, moved to Bend in 2001, when Kelly landed a job covering Crook County and later, health care, for the Bend Bulletin. She remembers the hard decision of deciding to leave Bend and move to Tacoma in 2004 to seek other job opportunities.

“We were really, really sad about it. I literally cried all the way up I-5. But we had it in the back of our minds that if we could live here, we wanted to live here.

If we were self-employed, we wouldn’t have to be tethered to a larger city.” In the meantime, Kelly laid down a solid bedrock of writing experience by working at the Seattle Times and the Associated Press, as well as covering the Port of Tacoma for the Tacoma News Tribune.

In March 2013, they returned to Bend for a visit and by the end of June the couple had relocated back to Bend. By this time, Kelly had established her own freelance writing business, and Justin had started his own software company, Lead Method. As a freelancer, Kelly

Kelly Kearsley, a co-founder of StartupBend.com, lives, breathes and blogs about startup companies in Bend.

“I’m very passionate and bullish on Bend as a place to start a company,” she says. “I want to tell the world about what is happening with startups in Bend.

There is more support than you can ever imagine, with offers to help. Sure, it will be super hard—and that’s normal with startups—but you’re in a place where people want you to succeed. It’s so collaborative, so helpful and not competitive. People are so generous with their time and advice.”

Kelly started writing the StartupBend blog in July 2014, when she co-founded it with James Gentes and support from a lot of people in the startup and business community. She recalls one of her first projects was to write a post on “50 Startups” in Bend. At the time, she remembers wondering if there were even that many local startups she could profile.

That concern, she now says, is “silly” because there are so many of them. As a solo blogger, Kelly says she has a hard time keeping up with them all. She says she hears of at least one new startup every week and that she could attend

Road Trip: Opening Weekend of 2018 Oregon Shakespeare Festival Othello and Henry V don’t disappoint

25

I

Jenny Graham

love the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

I’ve been numerous times, and each time I find something new that keeps me coming back for more.

This year, I was fortunate to see “Othello” at the Angus Bowmer Theatre, and “Henry V” at the small and intimate Thomas Theatre.

Even in such a tragic play, playwright William Shakespeare always had time for humor.

Danforth Comins as Iago is worth driving five hours in white-out conditions to see. You can feel his transformation from friend to foe in each scene, building to the end where he realizes his actions have caused more harm than he anticipated. Chris Butler, who plays the lead, is also excellent. His passion for the character is obvious. His final scene— where he realizes his wife was true and takes his own life—will have audiences on the edge of their seats. Desdemona, played by Alejandra Escalante, delivered a hair-raising performance. The rest of the cast was excellent as well.

“Othello” runs until Oct. 28. I highly recommend it. I also recommend, if you don’t mind staying up until the wee hours of the morning, heading to Martino’s for a drink after the play. It’s mere steps from the Bowmer and if you play your cards right, the actors will come in

Above, Othello, at right, played by Chris Butler, reacts to the cunning deceit by Iago, played by Danforth Comins. Center, Henry V, played by Daniel Jose Molina, listens to his loyal subjects about going to war with France.

to unwind. I got a chance to meet both Danforth Comins and Chris Butler, both as approachable and enjoyable to talk to as they were to watch.

Henry V at the Thomas Theatre Seeing plays at the Thomas Theatre is like watching one at the local grade school, except the actors are some of the best in the world. The actors are so close, you can feel—and see—every emotion they feel. Every actor in the play was so good—changing costumes on the fly, moving large crates in the dark and taking on different personas at the drop of a hat—it’s hard to pick out a best actor.

That is, until you watch Daniel Jose Molina, as Henry, give his epic speech about the tolls of war. He was so moving that it brought tears to nearly everyone in the audience, and to Molina himself. Not just during his speech, but also when the entire cast gave him, along with the audience, a standing ovation.

Rosa Joshi directs “Henry V,” and does a masterful job. Her use of symbolism for death and the ability to show the human cost of war by just using red sweatshirts was incredible. This is a complex play, dealing with the king’s struggle in weighing whether to take his subjects to war. Can he trust his bishops’ claim to lands in France? Does he allow the taunt by the French Dauphin to cause him enough rage to invade a foreign land? King Henry has to decide whether to pardon or kill old friends, lords and prisoners.

Even in such a tragic play, playwright William Shakespeare always had time

Jenny Graham

Othello in the Bowmer Othello’s plot is ripe for tragedy. Othello, a Moor, is a highly-ranking military officer who elopes with the daughter of a Venetian. He promotes a young officer to lieutenant instead of his trusted Iago.

This sets Iago on a mission to destroy Othello, and others, in the process. Racism and xenophobia are at the forefront of director Bill Rauch’s masterpiece.

One of my favorite parts about seeing the plays Rauch directs is his ability to modernize the plays and place humor into tragedy. The costumes were a combination of ‘80s and ‘90s garb, along with modern Navy uniforms. At one point, while Iago is planting seeds about Othello’s wife, Desdemona, having an affair, Othello’s cell phone pings. He takes it out of his pocket like a brooding teen, rolls his eyes in disgust, then jams it back into his fatigued pants.

Rauch doesn’t pull any punches in this play. There are moments that will make you uncomfortable, if you pay attention. Iago’s character uses many mentions of Othello’s race to sow the seeds of distrust in the officer.

for humor. Near the end, Henry tries to ask the French princess, played by Jessica Ko, to marry him. Only one problem; Katherine doesn’t speak English, save for a few words such as elbow and foot, which she finds funny. Henry and Katherine go round and round, with Henry trying to explain his love for the French princess, aided by the random hilarious input by Katherine’s lady-in-waiting, played by Michele Mais. In the end, the monarchs wed and France and England are bound.

“Henry V” runs until Oct. 27.

The Rest of the Run “Sense and Sensibility,” which runs until Oct. 28 in the Bowmer Theater, is Jane Austen’s classic adapted by Kate Hamill. Hamill started as an aspiring actress on Broadway, but quickly learned how empty female roles were on the stage. She wrote the adapted play for herself in the role of Marianne Dashwood.

The play is funny, sad and ironic. The humorous interplay among the characters is fantastic. The family’s patriarchal father passes, leaving the mother and daughters to survive the confusion and disappointment of being unmarried women at a time when success depended on who you married. The cast is a delightful mix of races. If this were a period play, all the actors would be white, but Hamill’s version had black, white and little people cast.

“Destiny of Desire,” written by Karen Zacarias and directed by Jose Luis Valenzuela, runs until July 12 in the Bowmer Theatre. Rodgers and

Hammerstein’s “Oklahoma!” is in the Bowmer until Oct. 27. Bill Rauch, who is leaving OSF at the end of the season, directs the play.

“Manahatta,” written by Mary Kathryn Nagle and directed by Laurie Woolery, runs in the Thomas until Oct. 27. This play focuses on Jane Snake, a Lenape woman from the Delaware Nation of Oklahoma. According to the OSF playbill, “Manahatta” explores the meaning of identity, home, the cynical nature of greed and the cost of American capitalism on human lives.

So fill up your tank and plan that road trip. It’s worth the snowy (or not snowy) drive to Ashland. SW Oregon Shakespeare Festival

“Young people need to be involved, and they are finding their moral courage.

We’re seeing that in Florida.

There’s an epidemic of violence in our country and gun violence is a huge issue.”

O’Neill, will screen a film that looks at how Northern California communities responded to hate, followed by a panel of local students talking about bullying and hate in their schools. Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel will give opening remarks at 6 pm Monday in Wille Hall in the Coats Campus Center.

On Tuesday, from 9 am to noon in the same location, O’Neill will lead a community workshop with civic leaders, community activists, teachers, students, counselors, elected officials and law enforcement, aimed at developing local proposals for stopping hate and creating a safe, inclusive community.

“We want to be not just responding to hate crimes, but building an environment in which hate crimes will not happen,” O’Neill said in a phone interview from her office in Oakland, Calif.

Part of the NIOT mission, she says, is to share the story of what one particular community has done which can

help another community take action and develop a plan to create an inclusive community in which everyone can participate.

“Change will be driven by the local community and it will be owned by the people in that community,” O’Neill says.

“Racism is part of the fabric of our country that we so rarely talk about, and if you leave it untouched it can erupt and be very harmful.”

In many instances, she says, racism and intolerance “that people don’t want to talk about” remains just under the surface. “It’s festering and when it erupts we see what can happen. Most communities think they are immune to it, but they’re not.”

A large part of the NIOT philosophy is aimed toward youth, O’Neill says.

The Hazel Wood

by Melissa Albert This book reminded me again how fun it can be to get lost in another world.

In this world, 17-year-old Alice Crewe’s Grandmother has written a series of dark fairy tales with a cult following. When she dies and a creature from that world appears to kidnap her mother, it’s up to Alice to enter the Hazel Wood and confront her fears, both imagined and all too real.

With whip-smart prose and a cast of characters you’ll not soon forget, this is dark YA fantasy turned on its head and it’s wonderful.

this forward. There has to be a commitment to long-term action.

“Young people need to be involved, and they are finding their moral courage.

We’re seeing that in Florida. There’s an epidemic of violence in our country and gun violence is a huge issue.”

O’Neill says she’s been to Bend three or four times, the most recent being last summer for the solar eclipse. “What a great town! I’m really excited to be there.”

Co-sponsors of the NIOT events are Building Common Ground, Central Oregon Labor Council, Bend Education Association, KPOV and Deschutes Cultural Coalition. For information, contact Karen Roth, 541-383-7412, kroth1@ cocc.edu, or Michael Funke, 541-3503053, funkeredfinn24@gmail.com SW

By Tom Beans, Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe How To Stop Time

by Matt Haig If you were born in 1581, you’d be tired too. Tom Hazard certainly is and he’d like to settle down with a nice girl. That’s the most simplistic way of explaining a much deeper story that will keep you turning pages through the centuries of Tom’s life and well into your own evenings.

I knew before reading this that the movie is already in production with Benedict Cumberbatch signed on to play Tom—and there couldn’t be a more perfect actor to play the part.

Dreadful Young Ladies and Other Stories by Kelly Barnhill Better known for her 2017 Newberry Award-winning YA novel, “The Girl Who Drank The Moon,” Barnhill’s latest collection of eight short stories and a novella is very much more for adults.

A woman with a Sasquatch for a lover, witches, pirates and a professor who also happens to be an insect populate these poignant and poetic stories. Fans of Neil Gaiman and Kelly Link will be right at home in Barnhill’s world of magical realism. SW

More Food Carts for Central Oregon According to IBISWorld, each year since 2012 the food truck industry has grown by 7.3 percent, and the trend is definitely growing in Central Oregon. This year, two food cart pods are planned for Bend, with another planned in Sunriver. Bend’s Eastside On Tap is set to open this spring with six food trucks, outdoor seating, fire pits and a taphouse with 34 taps of beer, wine, cider and kombucha. The location: near St. Charles Medical Center on 1424 NE Cushing Drive. Less than a mile from On Tap, across from Costco on Purcell Boulevard, the owners of River’s Place want to open with five food trucks and a taphouse. “The City has approved our site plan and land use. We are now waiting to get building permits. If all goes smoothly we should be breaking ground the beginning of April and be ready to open late July or early August,” owner Jessica Swartz told the Source.

This summer in Sunriver, the owners of Elkibou’s Food Cart Park plan to open with an Oregon Trail theme. Located behind the post office, they will have seven food carts, a beer garden, fireplaces, a heated pavilion and playground for kids.

Inset, like his father bringing a bit of American culture to Japan, Shibumi Tatsuta brought some of his Japanese culture to Bend by introducing us to okonomiyaki. Top, Okonomiyaki is referred to as Japanese pizza because you top it with what you like. Bottom, Yakisoba is thick, fried buckwheat noodles stir-fried with carrots, cabbage and onions.

belly and a fried egg to both.

Yakisoba is stir-fried wheat noodles with cabbage, carrots, onions and finished with yakisoba sauce, similar to oyster sauce. Morimoto, a self-proclaimed noodle snob, said the yakisoba noodles were springy and perfect. She was also impressed with the cook on the carrots, which still had a bite to them.

She grabbed a carrot with her chopsticks so I could try. I moved toward her with my chopsticks and she set the carrot on my plate. “You don’t pass food on chopsticks,” Morimoto said, “You only do that at funerals when you pass the bone fragments of the deceased.” Good to know.

I tried my modanyaki—okonomiyaki topped with yakisoba noodles crisped on the grill. It was covered with seaweed flakes, bonito flakes and a small pile of pink pickled ginger—hearty and delicious. I think my favorite part was the crispiness of the noodles and the sweet heat of the pickled ginger. I wasn’t able to finish my modanyaki. I was eating it with Monkless Belgian beer and I filled

up fast.

Tatsuta came out to talk to us. He’s a young, casual guy, more comfortable when he was able to speak Japanese with my friend. Tatsuta and Morimoto discovered they lived in Osaka two train stops away from each other. Their Japanese dialect, Kansai-ben, is very distinctive, similar to running into someone with a Boston accent. If you were to compare it to someone from Tokyo, you would notice the tone is brighter and more animated.

Tatsuta’s cart, called Shibumi’s, recently moved from its Arizona Avenue location. On Saturdays, find the cart at Monkless Belgian Ales—but check in with their Facebook page to see where they land during the week. SW Shibumi’s Okonomiyaki Yakisoba

S

hibumi Tatsuta was born in Japan, his mother an American model and his father a Japanese DJ known for bringing popping—a funk style of street dance—to Osaka. Shibumi, which roughly translates to “old school cool and beautiful,” was named after the book, “Shibumi,” a thriller written by Rodney William Whitaker. When he was four he and his mom moved to the U.S., moving to Bend as a teenager and attending Summit High School. After he turned 18 he made his way back to Japan.

Tatsuta spent his time in Osaka working his way through the food industry, washing dishes and tending bar. His dad’s best friend owned a disco that served food, where Tatsuta would watch the teppan, or grill top. When he turned 19 he tried it.

Tatsuta said, unlike the internships in the U.S., “You watch and learn in Japan.

They don’t tell you what to do. If you don’t get it, it’s your fault.” Tatsuta learned to cook Italian, prepared food at a concert hall and even spent time as a dancer and choreographer for Emotion Rise, a company staging flash mob wedding proposals. Watch a video of that on YouTube; it’s wild.

When Tatsuta lost his dad in 2010 he started to take food seriously, searching for that one food he wanted to make over and over. He found okonomiyaki, one of the original street foods of Japan that started in the 1930s. It’s a grilled, savory frittata-like pancake made with batter, cabbage and egg topped with a sweet, thick Worcestershire-like sauce and Kewpie, a smooth, creamy mayonnaise made with rice vinegar. It’s predominantly associated with the largest region in Kansai, Osaka.

Okonomiyaki means, “Cook what you like,” because you can choose your own toppings: pork belly, octopus, squid, shrimp, vegetables or cheese.

It’s referred to as Japanese pizza, but it tastes nothing like the Italian version.

After 10 years in Japan, Tatsuta missed his family and moved back to Bend. Last month he opened Shibumi’s Okonomiyaki Yakisoba, a food truck serving three dishes: okonomiyaki, yakisoba and modanyaki.

I’ve never tried anything the cart serves, so I took a friend, Leela Morimoto, who grew up in Osaka, to help me determine the authenticity of the cuisine. She was stoked. Morimoto told me, “I can’t have 95 percent of the food I ate in Japan in Bend. So being able to taste something from home makes me less homesick.” We ordered the yakisoba and the modanyaki and added pork

THE 15:17 TO PARIS: Director Clint Eastwood has dedicated large swaths of his career to telling the stories of American heroes in his motion pictures. With “The 15:17 to Paris,” he not only tells the stories, but casts those heroes to play themselves to bring an air of authenticity to the proceedings. Eastwood knows his way around intensity, so expect the fi lm to be absolutely riveting. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema ANNIHILATION: Easily the weirdest and most surreal theatrical fi lm since Cronenberg was experimenting with body horror. Five women cross a boundary into an area slowly changing into something otherworldly and dangerous. The imagery in this fi lm will stay with you.

fi lm in Marvel’s slate of superhero fl icks has been overwhelming and, amazingly, the fi lm completely deserves it. “Black Panther” is less of a superhero movie with some drama thrown in than a family drama with some superheroes sprinkled throughout. A genuinely thoughtful and powerful fi lm that fi nally puts an African-American hero front and center. See full review on p 33. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema

CALL ME BY YOUR NAME: A heartbreakingly romantic and natural drama focused on a 17-year-old student as he falls in love with an older man in summertime Italy. A gorgeous fi lm that deserves to be seen by anyone interested in the art of motion pictures. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Tin Pan Theater.

DARKEST HOUR: Gary Oldman is on the fast track for his fi rst Oscar as a heavily madeup Winston Churchill. The fi lm looks intense and like an actor’s paradise, but performances under that much makeup are usually goofi er than the fi lmmakers like to believe. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX EARLY MAN: A new animated adventure from

Aardman, the team that brought us the wonderful “Wallace and Gromit.” Since it’s about cavemen fi ghting back against the Bronze Age, it should be another delightfully strange look at the world from the brilliant British team of animators. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

EVERY DAY: Check out this synopsis: A romance based on a bestselling novel about a 16-year-old girl who falls in love with a mysterious soul that inhabits a different body every day. I hope all the different bodies are also teenagers, or else this movie is way more disturbing than it should be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX. FIFTY SHADES FREED: The awkwardness of watching a movie with tons of graphic sex scenes in public just isn’t worth it and the adventures of Grey and Steele aren’t enough to carry a movie. The best thing about the movie is the soundtrack, which is exactly what was best about the last two fi lms. If you have to see it, Redbox is the way to go. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema GAME NIGHT: With a cast featuring Jason

Bateman, Rachel McAdams, Kyle Chandler, Lamorne Morris and Jesse Plemons, it’s really hard to go wrong. Luckily, “Game Night” works as a hilarious comedy and a mystery/thriller in equal measures, making for one of the most entertaining movies of the year. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Sisters Movie House, Redmond Cinema.

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN: Hugh Jack-

man started his career as a song and dance man, so it’s fi tting that he returns in a giant Hollywood musical about the life of P.T. Barnum. Who wants to guess whether the fi lm soft pedals the animal abuse and mistreatment of the side show attractions? Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

HAPPY END: The new fi lm from Michael Haneke, the devious mind behind “Funny Games” and “Cache.” Haneke’s fi lms are always unforgettable and this one looks to be right in his disturbing and unsettling wheelhouse. Tin Pan Theater.

HOSTILES: Christian Bale shows up to play

cowboys and Indians in the latest fi lm from Scott Cooper, the extremely inconsistent director of “Get Low” and “Black Mass.” Hopefully, “Hostiles” is as powerful as its trailer, but “Black Mass” had a great trailer and was a downright terrible bit of fi lmmaking. This one could go either way. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

I, TONYA: This blisteringly funny biopic about the infamous Tanya Harding manages to make the fi gure skater much more human than the news ever did. Just when you think the story can’t get more outrageous, a dozen new barriers are crossed. Tin Pan Theater.

JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE:

Loosely connected to the original “Jumanji” starring Robin Williams, this reboot updates the story of kids sucked into a board game into something for the digital age. Starring Kevin Hart, Jack Black, The Rock and Karen Gillan, this looks much more entertaining than it has any right to be. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

PETER RABBIT: From the director of “Easy A”

comes the story of “Peter Rabbit” and his war with the nasty Mr. McGregor. Combining CGI with live action, “Peter Rabbit” looks like a cute companion to fi lms such as “Paddington” and “Babe.” Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX, Redmond Cinema

THE POST: The combination of Meryl Streep,

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg should make for a classic, especially when the fi lm is focused on the importance of solid and trustworthy newspapers.

Advanced word says this is another Spielberg home run. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX

SAMSON: From the studio that brought us “God’s Not Dead” comes a Christian swords and sandals fl ick featuring history’s favorite hair model.

Didn’t Samson also light a bunch of foxes on fi re and kill a bunch of people with the jawbone of a donkey? I wonder if that’s gonna be in the movie.

Count me in, I guess. Old Mill Stadium 16 & IMAX THE SHAPE OF WATER: The delightful love story about a mute cleaning woman and her torrid romance with a fi sh monster.

the Winchester Mystery House seems like it was long overdue, but this movie doesn’t really satisfy that craving even a little bit.

Hail to the King

“Black Panther” throws up the fist

By Jared Rasic 33 VOLUME 22 ISSUE 09 / March 1, 2018 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

I

can understand the argument that there are too many superhero movies. At around a dozen a year, comic book movies are as ubiquitous to modern cinema as westerns were to the 1940s. Some are garbage (“Batman v. Superman” and “Suicide Squad” come to mind), but every year we get at least one new classic such as “The Winter Soldier” or “Logan.”

What I don’t quite understand is all the shade thrown at Marvel. Yes, the film studio releases two to three interconnected movies a year, with the name on four or five others. That’s a lot of comic book action and, eventually, the bubble will burst with massive box office fatigue.

Even with all the elitists heralding the comic book movie as the death knell of cinema, the thing true fans of motion pictures are forgetting is that there has been nothing in history attempted like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By the time the MCU reaches its crescendo (in 2020), there will be between 20 and 30 movies that, when watched in chronological order, tell one multi-layered and exciting story.

“Black Panther” is the 18th film in the inter-connected MCU, feeling like the studio has once again reinvented what the superhero genre can be, down to its basic fundamentals. The complainers think all the movies are the same, when in fact the filmmakers are inserting the comic book formula into different genres with each new entry. “Winter Soldier” is a paranoid conspiracy thriller, “Thor: Ragnarok” is a cosmic buddy comedy and “Iron Man 3” is a post-modern take on heroism.

To take it one step further, “Black Panther” doesn’t even feel like a superhero movie with some drama thrown in, but instead walks the line of a family drama with a few action sequences. It’s a mature, intense and deeply political film, also about the living embodiment of a panther god trying to protect an African kingdom that’s so technically advanced it almost appears alien.

The film is also the MCU’s first minority-led film.

Next year will see its first (“Captain Marvel”) led by a woman. Yes, it took far too long to bring much-needed diversity front and center, but now that “Black

Seriously, you don’t want to mess with the King.

Panther” has made over $700 million in a single week, I’d say lesson learned.

Chadwick Boseman reprises the role of T’Challa, the Black Panther and King of Wakanda from “Captain America: Civil War,” still managing to combine nobility and swag—much harder than it looks. His adversary is Erik “Killmonger” Stevens, a young man who holds a legitimate grudge against the Wakandan people and has a strong claim for the throne.

Centuries earlier, a meteorite brought Wakanda a precious metal called Vibranium, the same thing Captain America’s shield is made from. Wakanda has figured out a way to use Vibranium for every possible need: technology, medicine, transportation and a powerful cloaking device. The outside world thinks Wakanda is a cash-starved Third World nation, but in reality, it’s an isolationist society bent on hiding its technological advancements from the outside world.

Killmonger wants the world to know of Wakanda’s power. He wants to arm minorities all across the world in order to take control of society and be the leaders of the entire planet. Killmonger is easily the best villain

Marvel has created to date, and Michael B. Jordan once again proves he should be the biggest movie star on the planet. Killmonger’s reasons behind everything he does are legit, even when he goes about achieving his ideals the wrong way. There’s no question he’s a villain—just a very sympathetic one.

Director Ryan Coogler had to make this movie. If a white director had tried to make “Black Panther,” it would not only have felt like cultural appropriation, but all of the Afro-futurist design and texture would have felt like something akin to blackface.

“Black Panther” will be celebrated as a modern classic. The boundaries the film has broken will stay broken, changing what African-American actors and filmmakers can achieve in Hollywood. If that’s not heroic, I don’t know what is. SW Black Panther

She Moves Mountains—part of the Outdoor Women’s Fest and Bend Women’s March— empowers women in climbing

“S

ee a need, fill a need” seems like a common sense approach to starting a new business. Yet Lizzie VanPatten, co-founder of She Moves Mountains, knew it would take more than her belief in the need for better female representation in the climbing world to get her passion project off the ground.

Given the chance, women would have to show up.

VanPatten graduated from Western Washington University in 2014. After years of struggling with depression and identifying as a student, she found herself unsure of where her life was headed. She began embarking on challenging hikes and eventually decided she wanted to climb Mt. Baker. To achieve her goal, she signed up for a 10-day mountaineering course where she was the only woman.

“I felt the need to prove myself constantly,” says VanPatten. “If I was tired and wanted to take a break I felt like I was showing that women can’t keep up, and if I was weak I felt like I was showing them that all women are weak. There was this pressure…to represent women.”

A sense of pride washed over VanPatten when she did the summit. Her life’s purpose crystallized as she sat on the mountaintop and realized her passion for the climb and her desire to become a guide.

VanPatten received a scholarship designed to increase women’s participation in guiding, enrolling in a course where she was again the only woman. It wasn’t until her first day on the job that she met another female guide— Carey deVictoria-Michel—who eventually became her

partner in forming She Moves Mountains.

Recognizing the need for more women to have access to climbing, VanPatten and deVictoria-Michel immediately started working together to create women’s clinics. “Our boss was amazing,” says VanPatten.

“He let us run our own clinics and create our own curriculum.” The response was more than they expected.

VanPatten and deVictoria-Michel decided they wanted to create a space for women to feel empowered through instructional rock climbing clinics. Even with their initial success, VanPatten admits that striking out on their own to create She Moves Mountains was intimidating.

The women launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise money to purchase the basic gear needed to teach women to climb. Their hope was that by providing the gear and pricing their clinics affordably, more women would be able and willing to give climbing a try.

“Getting into climbing is a pretty intimidating endeavor to take on,” says VanPatten. “It’s scary to sign up for something you know nothing about. It’s scary to trust your life to a rope. We wanted to minimize the fear of the risk of losing a bunch of money as well.”

She Moves Mountains successfully launched in July with its popular Women’s Intro to Climbing Clinic, She Moves Mountains Shemovesmountains.org

providing eight hours of instruction, gear included, for $105. Students only need to bring their own water and food for the day to get started.

Open less than a year, She Moves Mountains has already grown and now offers six progressive clinics designed to get women climbing on their own. In an effort to continue to serve underrepresented populations in the climbing world, they now have a program that provides a monthly scholarship for women of color interested in climbing, and they hope to have more opportunities available in the future.

While most of She Moves Mountains’ clinics focus on empowering women through climbing, it has multiple retreats designed to help rejuvenate, as well as one called Wild and Weightless Climbing Weekend that combines climbing and wilderness therapy to address body image issues. “The idea is to appreciate our bodies for what they are capable of,” says VanPatten.

“Instead of focusing on what they look like, we concentrate on feeling grateful for our body’s power.”

On March 30 and 31, REI Bend, World Muse Conference, Bend Women’s March, Visit Bend, Bend Film, Tower Theatre and McMenamins are partnering to put on the 2018 Outdoor Women’s Fest, where She Moves Mountains will provide climbing clinics at Smith Rock State Park.

Women curious about the sport can get a taste of the offerings there, and at the next Intro clinic in April.

Clinics are also held throughout the year in both Oregon and Washington. SW

Community Land Trusts to Help Housing Affordability

A

improvements. The trust keeps the rest of the money to provide for future buyers. This setup fosters pride of ownership and community and allows the original subsidy to be passed down to a future buyer.

The largest and most successful community land trust is the Champlain Housing Trust. It’s located in Burlington, Vt., and was started in the 1980s with $200,000 seed money from the city’s municipal budget. The trust’s annual operating budget is $10 million and every year it generates about $100 million used to manage properties, make loans and develop new housing. A total of 80 percent of the income is from fees and rents that people pay or from developing new housing. The other 20 percent of the budget comes from grants and donations. Its website states it manages 2,200 apartments and stewards 565 owner-occupied homes in its shared-equity program. The population of Burlington is a little over 42,000 people.

It seems that there may be some use for something similar here in Bend or that something can be learned from the practices of the trust to help our local situation. Locally, smaller scale, but active programs in Portland include Proud Ground, which has provided affordable housing since 1998.

s a realtor, I regularly come across literature about home unaffordability due to rising prices and inventory shortages. A big component of the problem is the rising price of land and the type of home a builder needs to build in order to make a living off of a project. As is the case with tiny homes, zoning and HOA restrictions on minimum home sizes and styles are impediments to building smaller, more affordable homes. It seems the only viable land for affordable housing is in the county or not in the Urban Growth Boundary, and zoning and development restrictions on that land make it not suitable.

I’ve recently been researching community land trusts and was impressed with what I read about successful models, particularly one in Burlington, Vt. Community land trusts are nonprofit or public organizations that develop affordable housing on land held in trust by that organization. The trust retains ownership of the land and the buyer pays a lease fee on the land, which protects the trust’s investment in the land. With land costs often being 30 to 40 percent of the price of a home, this allows a buyer to afford a home by only borrowing on the structure. The homeowner can sell the property and make a small profit and recover the down payment, some equity and the cost of

Waity Issues and Crime Of Compassion

I’m a married gay woman. Whenever I ask my wife to discuss some problem in our relationship, she’ll say, “Can we talk about this tomorrow” (or “later”)? Of course, there’s never a “tomorrow.” I end up feeling resentful, and this makes even a minor issue turn into a big deal. Help.

--Postponed Putting things off is a relief in the moment but usually costs you big-time in the long run—like when you procrastinate in going to the dermatologist until the mole on your neck has a girlfriend and a dog.

Procrastination—the “See ya later, alligator!” approach to problem-solving—is defined by psychologists as voluntarily delaying some action we need to take, despite our knowing that doing this will probably make the ultimate outcome much worse. Procrastinating seems seriously dumb, right? But consider the sort of tasks we put off. Chances are, nobody needs to nag you 45 times to eat cake or have what you’re pretty sure will be mind-blowing sex.

Research by social scientists Fuschia Sirois and Timothy Pychyl suggests that procrastination is a form of mood management—a knee-jerk emotional reaction to emotional stress that involves putting “short-term mood repair over long-term goal pursuit.”

I know—not exactly the stuff Valentine’s Day cards are made of. But focus on the “knee-jerk” aspect of the mood management response. Psychologist Daniel Kahneman explains that our brain has two systems— an instinctive, fast-responding emotional system that jumps right in and a slower rational system that we have to force to do its job.

That’s because reasoning—applying judgment to some dreaded problem—takes what Kahneman calls “mental work.” We have to make ourselves focus on the problem and then put cognitive energy into figuring things out. That’s a grim chore—the antithesis of a mood booster. And that’s probably why there’s a term “pay attention!” but there’s no “pay emotion!” Emotion is automatic. It just busts out, all “An issue to discuss? Oh, wouldja look at the time?! I believe I’m five minutes late for moving to Florida!”

Because personality traits tend to be consistent over time and across situations, chances are, your wife has a habit of ducking all sorts of emotionally uncomfortable stuff. Understanding this—as well as why we procrastinate—can help you see her ducking

as a human flaw rather than a sign that a particular human doesn’t love her wife.

To keep resentment from poisoning your relationship, when she says “tomorrow…” say, “Awesome, babe. What time works for you?” Maybe even have a regular weekly wine ’n’ chat. Ideally, the conversations should mostly be lovey-dovey, not the sort she prefers to have on the third Tuesday in never: “Okay, I could have my toenails pulled out with rusty pliers or have this conversation. This isn’t to say I’m dreading it; I just want to give some thought to how attached I am to wearing open-toe shoes.”

Crime Of Compassion Amy Alkon I’m a 33-year-old guy on the dating scene, looking for a relationship. I’m pretty picky, so most of my dating isn’t going past the three-week mark. My problem is that it seems mean to call a woman and tell her why I’m not interested, but it also seems mean to just ghost—disappear on her without telling her why. What’s a good and kind way to end things?

--Nice Dude

It’s disappointing when a prospective relationship isn’t working, but it’s much worse when it just disappears. Can you imagine coming home one day and your stove is just… gone?

“Ghosting” somebody you’ve been dating—vanishing forever, sans explanation—cues what psychologists call the “Zeigarnik effect,” which describes the mind’s habit of annoying us (over and over and over) to get “closure” when we have unfinished business.

Some people “ghost” because they have all the conscience of a deer tick; others believe (or tell themselves) that it’s kinder than laying out exactly why they’re done. But consider that when moving on, you only need to communicate one essential thing: There will be no more of you in their future.

Should a woman press you for further info, stick to vague explanations—“spark just wasn’t there”—instead of going into detail about, say, how her breath reminds you of a decomposing gerbil. Also to be avoided are explanations that give a woman hope that your vamoosage is temporary—for example, telling her you have to end it with her because you still aren’t over your ex. That can lead to a closure of sorts—of the zipper on the tent she’s pitched on the grassy area in the middle of your cul-de-sac. (Stalker? Um, she prefers “watchful urban camper.”)

ASTROLOGY PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): As you make ap-

ARIES (March 21-April 19): On September 1, 1666, a London baker named Thomas Farriner didn’t take proper precautions to douse the fire in his oven before he went to sleep. Consequences were serious. The conflagration that ignited in his little shop burned down large parts of the city.

Three hundred twenty years later, a group of bakers gathered at the original site to offer a ritual atonement. “It’s never too late to apologize,” said one official, acknowledging the tardiness of the gesture. In that spirit, Aries, I invite you to finally dissolve a clump of guilt you’ve been carrying . . . or express gratitude that you should have delivered long ago . . . or resolve a messy ending that still bothers you . . . or transform your relationship with an old wound . . . or all of the above.

TAURUS (April 20May 20): The Commit-

sure you make full use of the gifts that life is conspiring to provide for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “You can’t find intimacy -- you can’t find home -- when you’re always hiding behind masks,” says Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Junot Díaz. “Intimacy requires a certain level of vulnerability. It requires a certain level of you exposing your fragmented, contradictory self to someone else. You running the risk of having your core self rejected and hurt and misunderstood.” I can’t imagine any better advice to offer you as you navigate your way through the next seven weeks, Virgo. You will have a wildly fertile opportunity to find and create more intimacy. But in order to take full advantage, you’ll have to be brave and candid and unshielded.

you could reach several odd personal bests. For instance, your ability to distinguish between flowery bullshit and inventive truth-telling will be at a peak. Your “imperfections” will be more interesting and forgivable than usual, and might even work to your advantage, as well. I suspect you’ll also have an adorable inclination to accomplish the half-right thing when it’s impossible to do the perfectly right thing. Finally, all the astrological omens suggest that you will have a tricky power to capitalize on lucky lapses.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21): French philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.” American author Henry David Thoreau declared, “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” I would hesitate to offer these two formulations in the horoscope of any other sign but yours, Scorpio.

And I would even hesitate to offer them to you at any other time besides right now. But I feel that you currently have the strength of character and fertile willpower necessary to make righteous use of such stringently medicinal magic. So please proceed with my agenda for you, which is to become the Smartest, Feistiest, Most Resourceful Lover Who Has Ever Lived.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): No one can be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you’re not. But from a metaphorical perspective, your current state is a close approximation to that impossible condition. Are you or are you not going to commit yourself to birthing a new creation? Decide soon, please. Opt for one or the other resolution; don’t remain in the gray area. And there’s more to consider. You are indulging in excessive in-betweenness in other areas of your life, as well. You’re almost brave and sort of free and semi-faithful. My advice about these halfway states is the same: Either go all the way or else stop pretending you might.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The state of Kansas has over 6,000 ghost towns -- places where people once lived, but then abandoned. Daniel C. Fitzgerald has written six books documenting these places. He’s an expert on researching what remains of the past and drawing conclusions based on the old evidence. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you consider doing comparable research into your own lost and half-forgotten history. You can generate vigorous psychic energy by communing with origins and memories. Remembering who you used to be will clarify your future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): The Appalachian

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s not quite a revolution that’s in the works. But it is a sprightly evolution. Accelerating developments may test your ability to adjust gracefully. Quickly-shifting story lines will ask you to be resilient and flexible.

But the unruly flow won’t throw you into a stressful tizzy as long as you treat it as an interesting challenge instead of an inconvenient imposition. My advice is not to stiffen your mood or narrow your range of expression, but rather to be like an actor in an improvisation class. *Fluidity* is your word of power.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Is 2018 turning out to be as I expected it would be for you? Have you become more accepting of yourself and further at peace with your mysterious destiny? Are you benefiting from greater stability and security? Do you feel more at home in the world and better nurtured by your close allies? If for some reason these developments are not yet in bloom, withdraw from every lesser concern and turn your focus to them. Make

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In the coming weeks,

tee to Fanatically Promote Taurus’s Success is pleased to see that you’re not waiting politely for your next turn. You have come to the brilliant realization that what used to be your fair share is no longer sufficient. You intuitively sense that you have a cosmic mandate to skip a few steps -- to ask for more and better and faster results. As a reward for this outbreak of shrewd and well-deserved self-love, and in recognition of the blessings that are currently showering down on your astrological House of Noble Greed, you are hereby granted three weeks’ worth of extra service, free bonuses, special treatment, and abundant slack.

Trail is a 2,200-mile path that runs through the eastern United States. Hikers can wind their way through forests and wilderness areas from Mount Katahdin in Maine to Springer Mountain in Georgia.

Along the way they may encounter black bears, bobcats, porcupines, and wild boars. These natural wonders may seem to be at a remote distance from civilization, but they are in fact conveniently accessible from America’s biggest metropolis. For $8.75, you can take a train from Grand Central Station in New York City to an entry point of the Appalachian Trail. This scenario is an apt metaphor for you right now, Cancerian. With relative ease, you can escape from your routines and habits. I hope you take advantage!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s the Productive Paradox Phase of your cycle. You can generate good luck and unexpected help by romancing the contradictions. For example: 1. You’ll enhance your freedom by risking deeper commitment. 2. You’ll gain greater control over wild influences by loosening your grip and providing more spaciousness. 3.

If you are willing to appear naive, empty, or foolish, you’ll set the stage for getting smarter. 4. A blessing you didn’t realize you needed will come your way after you relinquish a burdensome “asset.” 5.

Greater power will flow your way if you expand your capacity for receptivity.

pointments in the coming months, you could re-use calendars from 2007 and 2001. During those years, all the dates fell on the same days of the week as they do in 2018. On the other hand, Pisces, please don’t try to learn the same lessons you learned in 2007 and 2001. Don’t get snagged in identical traps or sucked into similar riddles or obsessed with comparable illusions. On the *other* other hand, it might help for you to recall the detours you had to take back then, since you may thereby figure out how to avoid having to repeat boring old experiences that you don’t need to repeat.
