oads are one of those core government services that are a great reflection of a community. It doesn’t matter what your political affiliation, when your right tire goes deep into a pothole, slamming your teeth together, you’re going to curse “government.” The leaders of our cities and states know this, and that’s why no matter what else candidates or government employees hope to work on during their tenure of public service, they always get pulled back to roads. If a community has a solid financial revenue structure and solid public servants, you’re going to glide to work.

Right now, if you’re reading this, your teeth probably hurt—and the people in charge of our roads are not the reason for your jarring trip to work.

Bend has a revenue problem, and the hunt is on for the money to fill it.

Right now in Salem, Oregon state legislators are considering House Bill 2744, which would allow municipalities to take money from Transient Room Tax dollars and reallocate them for roads and sidewalks—which are essentially being reclassified as “tourism related services.” This would be a mistake.

Common sense will tell you that while tourists do use our roads, they do not use them in anywhere near the

proportion as locals. There are currently tens of thousands of people commuting into Bend. That’s going to have the largest impact on roads.

Currently in Bend 65 percent of the monies collected through the TRT dollars are given to the City of Bend’s general fund. Meanwhile, 35 percent is reinvested into the economic tourism engine of Central Oregon. That’s a fair mix for infrastructure impacts, and the return on investment is significant for the smaller portion that is put towards tourism. There was 170percent growth in general fund dollars from 2010 to 2016—meaning the actual dollars that go toward the general fund went from just north of $2 million to closer to $5.5 million. The engine of this economic growth, tourism, is not an area we should be looking to defund.

Roads are a good measure of how much we collectively give of ourselves for a common good. Elected leaders can tap into this goodwill if they explain to voters the economic balance between cars, gas and roads. It’s called a gas tax. Tourists pay for it, and locals pay for it in a rough proportion to how they use the roads. Let’s not take the quick fix to the detriment of our economy. This is a problem we should put onto our local leaders, not onto the tourists. SW

ANTI-WALDEN, PRO-WALDEN AND PRO-TRUMP RALLIES IN BEND THIS WEEK

Thanks to @curbbq and @benddronephoto for awesome aerial perspective on the carts at Spoken Moto.

Tag @sourceweekly and show up here in Lightmeter.

GREG WALDEN’S AFFORDABLE CARE ACT I don’t normally write Letters to the Editors about specific legislation, but it’s important for people of Congressman Greg Walden’s district to know that the proposed revision of the ACA (Obamacare) will significantly reduce coverage, particularly for poorer people in eastern Oregon.

Worse yet, from my perspective, it will give a huge tax break to the wealthiest 1 percent of the Nation’s citizens. According to the Joint Committee on Taxation analysis, the proposed bill would deliver roughly $157 billion over the coming decade to those with incomes of $1 million or more, according to a congressional analysis. And folks making $200,000 to $999,999 a year would also get sizable tax cuts. Between the two groups we would see taxes cut by $274 billion dollars.

To put that into perspective, the entire state budget for Oregon in 2015 was $33 billion.

That Greg Walden supports such inequality is disturbing, to say the least. I hope Rep. Walden starts to think about the less fortunate people in Oregon rather than giving tax breaks to most of Donald Trump’s billionaire cabinet members.

— George Wuerthner

OPEN LETTER TO WALDEN Dear Representative Walden, I am forced to write to you this way as you’ve never acknowledged receipt of my letters. When I call, your staff doesn’t answer. The time I was able to leave a message, your office never responded.

Obamacare has extremely serious flaws.

Conceptually, repeal and replace is the way to go. Disappointingly, your bill fails to fix

the problems. The greatest hindrance is blatant partisanship which overshadows the REAL needs of Main Street America: a good healthcare system.

Obamacare wasn’t healthcare reform, but insurance reform. It failed its two primary goals: not providing access for all to healthcare, and not bringing down costs of healthcare.

You stated your bill will “provide the people with what they’ve asked for: greater choice, lower cost, and flexibility ...” Your bill fails at that, as did Obamacare. You said subsidies and Medicaid “… is not sustainable.” Of course not. But you refuse to address what will bring those costs down.

Saying and doing are two different things.

Former Senator Baucus’ white paper on healthcare, written before Obamacare, stands today as what’s wrong with America’s healthcare system. Exorbitant costs keep many Americans from access to healthcare.

This is Obamacare’s major failure. Your bill fails, too.

The greatest roadblock to affordable healthcare is the insurance industry, which has driven administrative costs to be about half the total cost of healthcare in this nation. It’s a paperwork nightmare. No country in the world is even within an order of magnitude of that.

Insurance is NOT healthcare but creates roadblocks to the working poor of our nation. It keeps many from having access to healthcare. That’s where Obamacare failed. The Health Insurance Marketplace is an unaccountable bureaucracy impeding America’s working poor. I wrote you a substantive letter explaining what happened to me—it took half a year to fix, even with a senator’s help—and other serious problems I found while struggling to straighten it out.

The Obamacare mess needs help, and to say the majority of Americans support it is just not true. We desperately need cross state competition, policy choice and major hospital, surgical and drug cost reduction.

The greed needs to be throttled back. The status quo is financially unsustainable. All wants cannot be met. The sooner the reality check sinks in, the sooner we can start restructuring Obamacare into something that works for all Americans, not just the few who simply desire free healthcare at super high costs.

Suffice to say the Dems are hopping mad as well, but it is the Tea Party nutters and their flat earth tone deafness that puts the fear of God into them. No wonder they don’t want to appear in public.

Oh, and no, none of the folks ranting are “paid protesters” these are genuinely misinformed, inflamed, electorate. Go do your job, and deal with them.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Nicole: Sorry to hear that. Adding insult to injury to your entire profession, The National Endowment for the Arts is among the items #45 is proposing cutting right now—so I figured a free coffee on us is the least we could do to show our support for local artists and their work. As if artists don’t have a hard enough time making it...

IN RESPONSE TO, THE DEBATE OVER THE ELLIOTT (3/8) I’d like to see the state find better, more ecologically sound ways to generate a little cash from Elliott State Forest. Why is this issue usually presented as Either/Or (to make a different Elliott reference)?

Let’s go for Both/And. Retain state ownership of the forest, and task supporters of that effort with (for free) finding creative, useful ways to allow some small amount of commercial activity on the land to generate revenue. For example, set aside 25 acres for an eco-tourism resort or a sustainability-focused co-housing farm, and find a private partner to make some money at that.

State Marine Board Considers a Lifejacket Requirement House Bill 2320 would require adults to wear lifejackets, even on non-motorized watercraft

L

ifejacket sales will get a big boost this summer if the Oregon Marine Board gets its way. House Bill 2320—introduced this legislative session at the request of Gov. Kate Brown on behalf of the Marine Board—would require persons using a nonmotorized craft—including inner tubes, air mattresses and pool toys, in a river or stream, to wear a life jacket or face a $30 fine. If the bill passes, Oregon would join New Mexico as the only other state that would require all users, even those 18 and older, to wear a life jacket while floating a river, according to Ashley Massey, legislative coordinator and public information officer for the Oregon State Marine Board.

If it passes, the bill would also make several other changes. It would create a nonmotorized boating program, which would be funded by fees of $4 for one week, $12 annually or $20 for a biennial permit collected from users of canoes, kayaks and other nonmotorized boats. The board’s members claim the board needs the additional funds for facilities development, to improve access and for law enforcement services in high-use counties, in light of the exponential increase in nonmotorized use over the last decade.

The Board states that they are targeting nonmotorized craft because, “inner tubes, air mattresses, and pool toys are not designed for use on rivers and can’t maneuver away from dangers, puncture easily, and can quickly be swept away if the operator falls out.” The Board also claims that they are targeting nonmotorized craft users because, ‘more than half of annual

boating fatalities now involve nonmotorized boats.”

Statistics, according to Marine Board figures, show that the increase in nonmotorized craft users has also led to an increase in the number of overall deaths, with three nonmotorized deaths in 2014, six in 2015 and nine in 2016.

The bill is met with some opposition, however. Oregon State Rep. Knute Buehler (R-Bend) remarked on his Facebook page: “…Governor Brown wants to tax & regulate anyone using inner tubes and paddle boards on any river or stream in Oregon. That leaves me with one question: Where do the regulations end? This over-regulation and government intrusion into our recreational activities threatens a unique quality of life that makes Central Oregon and our state so special.”

Buehler has even created an online petition on his website for those who disagree with the bill.

The bill had its first reading on Jan. 9 and a public hearing on March 3.

Currently there aren’t any other scheduled events for this bill. Those wishing to follow the status of this bill or get involved can go to the Oregon Legislative Information website at olis.leg.state.or.us, which will inform people on the bills scheduled events, measure history and the committee, (and committee members) that the bill is currently in.

The Dirt on Dirty Diesel School Buses

How the recent settlement with VW could benefit local school bus fleets

By Magdalena Bokowa and how far the routes are,” he says.

“Portland for example, is in a dense area, but Bend-La Pine is a bit different. (It) depends upon their needs.

So perhaps a solution lays in a mix of choices….new diesel, propane and even electric engines.”

Jennifer Coleman, health communications and outreach director for the Oregon Environmental Council, chaired a 2016 Dirt on Diesel Report that examined the public health and economic effects of the issue. “The big problem is that existing engines are putting out pollution that is a really big significant public health problem,” she says. “The problem we have is dealing with engines created before 2007 which can run for a million miles with decades of use.” With California enforcing stricter emission standards and Washington implementing incentives, more of these dirty diesel engines are ending up in Oregon.

Coleman states, “In reality, it’s a lot of work. It’s just a few engines at a time.

What we really need is standards for these engines.”

A standard may come with Oregon Senate Bill 1008, which would address diesel pollution and essentially clean up most school buses in Oregon. In addition, approximately $73 million worth of funding will come to Oregon from a settlement with Volkswagen, stemming from allegations that the company installed “cheat devices” in its diesel engines in order to pass emissions tests.

“It’s an unprecedented opportunity,” says Coleman. ”If we design it right, and pair the incentive money with a really strong program, it’s a

7

great way to springboard us into retiring these engines.”

Downing, who helped design the Oregon Clean Diesel Initiative, says: “I think there’s a realistic issue of availability of money, of funding to support the change.” With the federal government zeroing out the funding for the Clean Diesel program, and with no state funding, Downing acknowledges the challenges. The Environmental Protection Agency, facing large budgetary cuts, has funded $7 million toward the program thus far. “When we began the program, we set a goal of reducing the cancer risk from breathing exhaust to less than one in a million in 2017 — which is a public health benchmark for protecting the public from cancer risk,” Downing says.

He estimates that to meet this goal, Oregon needs to reduce 1,400 tons of diesel particulate. “So far, we’ve reduced 15 tons — about one percent of our goal.”

Still, he remains optimistic, noting that the program has received wide

bipartisan support in congress. “Both Republicans and Democrats from all ideological stripes really support the diesel reduction program, because it’s so cost effective,” he says, noting the $1.2 million dollars in savings per year in avoided health and environmental costs. “Whether or not that support is strong enough to put money into the budget remains to be seen.”

Meanwhile, Crabtree estimates a cost of about $125,000 for a new diesel or propane bus. With eight more years until the 2025 deadline, the school board would need to replace approximately eight school buses per year, at a cost of approximately $1 million per year.

“School buses are the safest way to get kids to school,” Downing says, “and so what we’re trying to do, and what Bend-La Pine school district is trying to do is trying to make it the healthiest way to get kids to school.” SW

“K

ids are like hummingbirds.

They breathe a lot,” said Dr. Paul Lewis at a recent Oregon Senate committee hearing on Environment and Natural Resources. “Their lungs are small and a lot more of this stuff gets in there...when exposed early in life, there are a lot more decades for those changes to your cells to occur that can lead to cancer.” Lewis made that statement in light of the fact that every day, Oregon school children are inhaling cancer-causing pollutants stemming from dirty diesel engines.

Apart from the carcinogen risks, numerous health studies show elevated risks of asthma and absenteeism. The good news, however, is that federal regulations were tightened in 2007, with new diesel engines running up to 95 percent cleaner. But with diesel engines known to run for millions of miles, where do Central Oregon buses stand?

“Slowly and steadily, we’re working towards eliminating older diesel school buses by 2025,” says Kim Crabtree, director of transportation for BendLa Pine Schools. “Out of 136 school buses, we have 65 left to replace.” The district has replaced more than half of its fleet with cleaner-burning propane engines. “The challenge is that in some areas propane is still difficult to obtain, you need special training… plus it just doesn’t get the mileage that diesel gets.”

Kevin Downing, who has been the Clean Diesel Program coordinator for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality for 16 years, says BendLa Pine faces unique challenges. “You need to look at the size of the district

Here in Central Oregon, practical, useful art, made by local people, isn’t tough to find. These are a few of the people combining both art and business in Central Oregon.

Tularoo Soap Tularoo Soap, made by Laura Nolan, is a whimsical yet practical way to

Carter Knives On the other end of the practical-but-useful spectrum, Matt Carter’s knives are pieces of art that

will last for years. Carter Knives are made in the back of a school bus Carter retrofitted as a workshop, and eventually his storefront. Carter makes knives that are ready to sell, but also takes custom orders so people can get the knife they want.

“I measure the fit of your hand and make a custom sized handle to fit the size and shape of your hand,” Carter said. “From there you’ll decide which style you want and the blade length.”

After Carter is finished with a knife, he creates a sheath designed specifically for the knife so that it will fit perfectly without falling out. The knives come with a lifetime warranty (your life or Carter’s, whichever is longer) so they can remain sharp and in good shape as long as he is around.

get some art into your life. Each bar is one of a kind and hand poured into limited-use silicone molds Nolan makes. Even if you get the same mold as someone else, chances are the colors, scents or additives will be different, making each bar of soap truly unique.

“It's a small batch production process,” Nolan said. “I'll lay out several designs, then fill in sections with like colors. I actually use an eyedropper to apply the color.” Tularoo’s designs range from sea creatures to Central Oregon nature scenes to textures such as knitted fabric. If this sounds like a time intensive process, it is—but Nolan doesn't want that to stop anyone from actually using her soaps.

“It is without a doubt 100 percent a labor of love,” Nolan says of her soap-making operation. “But I'm a process-driven person and that's why I do what I do.”

It might seem ironic that Nolan spends so much time making things that will ultimately disappear, but for her the impermanence is something that draws her to the medium.

LoilJ Sometimes local artists find their business accidentally—as is the case with Lisa Panzarella and

Jenna Wilson, who started a leather and suede jewelry line called LoilJ. The two women have been friends for years. When their kids started kindergarten at the same time, the moms wanted the kids to have a sense of familiarity as they started something new. They designed a braided suede bracelet that could have essential oils applied, so that their children would have a scent that reminded them of home while they were in their new classrooms.

“The absorbent nature of the suede and leather naturally diffuses the essential oils,” said Wilson.

“We wanted the jewelry to match well and complement other pieces so it’s simple and clean.”

Panzarella and Wilson have been pleasantly surprised by how their business has taken off, and an added bonus to making and selling their jewelry has been tapping into the creative side of Bend.

“We’ve always loved the local community of artisans here,” Panzarella said. “We liked the idea of developing a product that is locally made and locally supported, and we’ve been running into that support at local shows.”

Cascade Wellness Technology Based in Sunriver, this company has created an automated thermal contrast therapy device

called Vorteq that helps treat injuries, especially those in athletes and active individuals. Vorteq allows users to apply both heat and cold to help increase blood flow, reduce inflammation and aid in a faster recovery. Contrasting heat and cold is a common approach to relieving pain and inflammation, but Vorteq has made the process easy, precise and reproducible while eliminating the inconvenience of awkward ice packs and slow and imprecise heating pads.

With Vorteq, users can regulate the timing and temperature of hot and cold treatments so that they are exact and result in an optimal outcome. The machine is also capable of rapid temperature changes and can treat all areas of the body. Cascade Wellness Technology’s product won a Business Oregon Award and stands to benefit the well-being of our local active community.

Free Range Equipment This business was born out of owner Tosch Roy’s passion for the outdoors and the desire to

help others experience freedom and creativity both in the mountains and in their own lives. Free Range products include sport-specific backpacks and outdoor apparel and accessories for the performance-focused athlete. All of the merchandise is made in Bend, helping to create local jobs. Just last year, in an effort to fulfill the business’s mission more completely, Roy and his team created a new line production line called the Free Range Canvas Pack. Each pack in the line has art from artists in the outdoor adventure community printed across the main panel. The result is a stunning product that gives back to the featured artist and exposure to the importance of art in the community.

Roy’s vision for his business continues to grow. He hopes that eventually he will be able to use his packs as a fundraising tool that will help get kids outside.

Natural Edge Furniture Mike Ross, founder of Natural Edge Furniture and the Makers District, is committed to building a

sustainable community. When he saw that a large portion of fallen yard and park trees were going into the waste stream, he knew he had to do something about it. Ross saw something in the tree remains that others couldn’t: personality and a deep-rooted connection to the community. It was that connection that inspired him to start Natural Edge Furniture where he creates stunning highend, sustainably sourced pieces of furniture that can live on as long as the tree that it was made from did. From dining and coffee tables to benches and artwork, each piece is unique and beautiful.

Natural Edge Furniture is dedicated to environmental stewardship. They only use lumber from trees that are storm damaged, windfalls or have to be removed because of age, insect damage or size.

The New Pornographers APRIL 14

Indie rock makes its way to Midtown with Canadian rock legends The New Pornographers hitting the stage this April. Most popular in the mid 2000s, TNP have a cult-like college following, and are touring in support of their brand-spanking new album “Whiteout Conditions.” It’s an aptly titled record for a band that hails from the Great White North. Sitting somewhere between upbeat pop and alternative rock, the band finally explained their contentious name in a series of tweets from frontman Carl Newman. “You see, pornography is just a mirror to society. It is ugly, because society is ugly,” he said. “So how could you change it, make a better and new pornography, that is not based on something ugly? You would have to change the world man.”

Well, we’re not quite sure if they’re changing the world, but they’re definitely producing good music. See them live. // 8pm. Midtown Ballroom, 51 Greenwood Ave, Bend. $28. Bendticket.com

Diana Krall JULY 25

Oh what now? Another Canadian coming to town? Say it isn’t so! Diana Krall, the sensual songstress from that country with which we share the longest border, is gliding into town this summer. A renowned jazz pianist and five time Grammy award winner, she has wooed the hearts of many with her purrrrfect vocals and sultry gaze. Having toured for more than 20 years, she’s sung with everyone from Ray Charles to Tony Bennett, and even produced Barbra Streisand’s 2009 album. (Sidenote, yes, “Babs” has a recent(ish) album!) Married to British rock-icon Elvis Costello, Krall is the stuff of songwriting legend. She’s like fine wine; only getting better with age. See her effortlessly croon her way into your heart this summer. // 5pm. Les Schwab Amphitheater, Bend. $52-92. bendconcerts.com

Sister Act

The Quebe Sisters bring their sweet sounds to the Tower

by Andrea Janda

Stewart Cohen

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / March 16, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

18

The Quebe Sisters bring their sweet, soulful sound to the Tower Stage, 3/18.

T

he first time I heard The Quebe Sisters, I was standing in the woods on Pendarvis Farm in Happy Valley, Oregon at the Pickathon music festival. It was a private session of stripped-down songs, played in a quiet setting away from the larger stage and big crowds—and very intimate, except for the film crew and microphones jammed into the 10 by 10-foot concrete and wood pumphouse. I didn’t actually see them directly until they emerged—but what I heard instantly transported me to another time. It was the romantic and sentimental song, “Going Away Party,”

by Texas songwriter Cindy Walker. The sound coming out of that little shed was so pitch-perfect and golden-toned, I thought it had been pre-recorded and auto-tune processed. It was as if the Andrews Sisters of the 1940s had emerged from the fires of time with their close harmony style and dropped down to the forest, fiddles in hand.

The Quebe Sisters (as in “maybe” and “baby”) are comprised of sisters Grace, Sophia and Hulda Quebe— named after two virtues and a grandmother—and all three are virtuosos in their physical and vocal instruments. Bored with traditional Suzuki violin lessons, they witnessed their first fiddle contest, thought it looked like good fun, and at ages 7, 10 and 12, began lessons together, allowing their skills and their set list to progress at the same rate. It wasn’t long before they began showcasing their talents,

rising together through curiosity and state competitions. They understood structure, harmonies and played parts, and amazingly, it was only then that they finally sang.

Their title track and album “Every Which-a-Way,” takes its name from the original artist who recorded it—Texas-born Moon Mullican, the "King of the Hillbilly Piano Players" who incorporated honky-tonk, country, swing and blues into his playing style.

Mullican played with bands that performed the western swing music made famous by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys, and later joined the cast of the “Grand Ole Opry”—a stage the sisters have graced themselves. The Quebe Sisters have collaborated and performed with the likes of Willie Nelson, George Strait, Merle Haggard and Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel, among many others. With their blended style of swing, jazz, vintage country, bluegrass and Texas style fiddling, The Quebe Sisters are carrying on the Bob Wills western swing tradition, keeping authentic music and Americana alive… and doing it all with the grace, wisdom and sweetness that their very names prescribe.

CULTURE

Zine Zenith

Bend’s homemade mag library moves around, but it’s still going strong

By Howard Leff 29 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 11 / March 16, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

W

ant some zines with your almond croissant?

Hang on, let’s take a step back. Somewhere between the dawn of the printing press and Snapchat came an offbeat new art form made from hard work, determination, paper, staples, creativity and a photocopier.

The zine. As in magazine, but not quite.

Literary and decidedly lo-tech, zines are somehow still flourishing in the digital age. In fact, the eight-year-old Bend Zine Library lives on–and continues to thrive, now occupying a small display space on the second floor of Dudley’s Bookshop Café. Previously living at both the Workhouse and Townshend’s Teahouse, the mini library offers hundreds of zines to read and/or borrow.

So, what can you expect to find inside a typical zine? First, there’s no such thing as a typical zine. To say these homemade publications take on a wide range of styles and topics is like saying Donald Trump has only occasional tantrums.

Zines come in all sizes and attitudes. They’re generally printed on regular paper, usually from about 15 to 80 pages, often illustrated, with nothing off-limits. They’re exceptionally personal and frequently intense.

Zinesters reveal their intimate struggles with things including alcohol, drugs, depression, abuse, loneliness and sex. Soul-baring is perhaps the biggest trait they have in common.

The library’s categories include skateboarding, health, feminism, travel, comics/graphic novels, personal zines (or “perzines”) and the always popular radical/political.

“I would say a majority of the zines have a social justice or political component,” says Heather Kennedy, who recently assumed the role of librarian. It’s no surprise, she adds, given the post-election furor, that “there are zines about our current political climate. It’s a place for people from more marginalized groups to have their voices heard.” This rings true since zines have a tradition of shaking things up. “Zines have been on the forefront of social justice movements since the ‘90s at least. They became especially popular during the riot grrrl movement which started in the Pacific Northwest.”

And zines are still right at home in 2017, “providing a place for people to access different cultures,” says

Kennedy. “People need to not be isolated from other people’s views. Zines can be the ‘stargate’ to different perspectives.” That’s what got her into zines in the first place: “I’ve always been interested in getting a glimpse of other people’s lives.”

Zines, much like blogging, give all of us a chance to get our point of view and opinions out there for all to read.

And it doesn’t take a whole lot of logistical energy to do so. “It’s a do-it-yourself magazine on any topic you want,” she says. “It’s self-publishing. If you want to write you don’t need to find a publisher. Just do it. Use a photocopier; it’s like a blog in print.”

While it’s tempting to begin dismissing zines as another Internet casualty, Kennedy suggests the opposite is true. “The Internet’s actually helping the zine movement rather than harming it because it’s much easier to get the word out. There are zine fests all over the place. Libraries have started cataloguing zines all over the world.

The Internet lets us trade and find zines—and it’s much easier to buy them online.” One such “zine fest” includes the Portland Zine Symposium, taking place July 22 and 23.

Imagine that -- the digital and print stars aligning to keep this homemade, but powerful, art form alive and well.

Finally, she adds, “Zines are really authentic. I feel like they’re more authentic than the Internet because zines give people a place to share about who they are and what’s important to them in a way that doesn’t fake anything. It’s really real.” SW Note: Although the Bend Zine Library’s located atop Dudley’s tall, steep stairs, Kennedy confirms they’re working on plans to make the zines accessible to those who are disabled or otherwise unable to reach it.

Zines, or mini-magazines, are available at the Bend Zine Library, upstairs at Dudley’s Bookshop Cafe.

Collin Robinson

President of the Oregon PTA

A

bout a decade ago, Collin Robinson was a volunteer youth soccer coach for a team of kids from Bend’s Ensworth Elementary School.

At the end of the season, Robinson says some of the other “soccer moms” asked him to shuttle their kids to the school, where parents would be taking part in a Parent-Teacher Association meeting that night. That evening— which also happened to be election night for the school’s PTA—Robinson marched into the meeting room, a half-dozen kids in tow.

He arrived as soccer coach, but by the end of that meeting, Robinson found himself as the president-elect of Ensworth’s PTA after the other members nominated him on the spot. That would set him on a path of intense PTA involvement for years to come.

After two years of serving as president of the Ensworth PTA, he went on to becoming the area’s regional director, representing not just BendLa Pine area schools, but a region that stretches from Klamath Falls to the Idaho border. The next step up, Robinson says, came through yet another chance encounter.

“So I was regional director for four years… started going to national events, national conferences, training opportunities,” Robinson reflects.

“I snuck into, with my president and president-elect, a luncheon with them, at the national conference, joking that I was the president-elect-elect. And

ARTWATCH

then at the end of that conference they said, ‘Would you consider being the president elect?’ And that was almost four years ago.” After two years as president-elect of the Oregon PTA and another two as president, Robinson’s tenure ends in June.

Robinson, who’s made a living as a freelance web developer for the past 15 years, has served in all of his PTA roles as a volunteer. While one could argue that he’s done his bit, he’s not stopping in June. Robinson has now been nominated for the board of the national PTA. He’s also spent the past several weeks testifying in front of the state’s Ways and Means Committee in support of adequate funding for Oregon schools.

Robinson’s biggest priority: “Funding, funding, funding. Everything stems from that,” he says. “I’ve been on task forces for class size at the state level, graduation rates at the state level, assessments, the new rolling out of the Average Student Succeeds Act. Those were all kind of big things.

That’s the federal law that replaced No Child Left Behind. But it all stems around funding. If we can’t fully fund schools, we can’t reduce class size, we can’t extend the days.

“So when we talk about school choice, vouchers, public funds going to religious organizations, or private schools, that’s scary. Because they’re not held to the same standards. That’s the problem.”

— COLLIN ROBINSON

‘When do we fully fund schools?’ And nobody has an answer.”

With his eyes now set on a national position, Robinson has naturally paid attention to pending policy changes on the national stage, including the proposed voucher system touted by recently-appointed Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. “I see the value in charter schools.

But, they should be held to the same accountability that anyone who’s taking federal dollars for education should be,” Robinson says. “So when we talk about school choice, vouchers, public funds going to religious organizations, or private schools, that’s scary. Because they’re not held to the same standards. That’s a problem. If we want to hold them to the same standards, then that’s another discussion to have, but it’s all children, not the children who can afford to go to a school or the kids whose parents can get up and get them to school.”

While Robinson goes about his work of championing schools, students and teachers, he’s also somewhat critical of local legislators, who he believes aren’t doing enough to

support student success.

“Look at (Measure) 97, brought forward by the people, not the legislators. If the legislators were doing their job, we wouldn’t have had to have brought 97 to the table. And even now it’s an issue, because the unions and the business folks won’t come and discuss things. So how are we going to get anything done? On an education level, class size is probably one of the biggest. If we can reduce class size, we can see the outcomes that we expect.

I know graduation rates came out this week (Editor’s note: this interview was conducted in January), and we ticked up a percentage and a half, or whatever.

Yay, we’re at seventy-four something.

That’s still not good.”

As he looks at what’s ahead, Robinson says he’s still supportive of local educators and their progress, yet remains hopeful about further progress. “We will keep solutions on the table, hoping that maybe the other side will put a solution on the table and we can find middle ground.” SW

Escape Artist

Tattoo removal expert can erase your troubled past Katie Hester fixes mistakes—the ones that could derail your whole life.

It’s one thing to make bad choices.

But it’s a whole other matter to wind up in a tattoo parlor etching them permanently onto your skin. Hester, a Bend native who doubles as a licensed massage therapist at Earth Body Massage, works as a tattoo removal specialist, using lasers to remove the ink her clients no longer want.

Sure, it could simply be the name of your ex-girlfriend. But it might be a lot worse; think gang symbols or even racist slogans. “I’ve seen swastikas,”

Hester says. “Also elbow spider webs on people who didn’t realize it’s a sign for prison time.”

Now you can start to see why people need her help. Imagine trying to explain those markings to potential employers, or even a date. Still, Hester often needs to remind clients that tattoo removal takes both time and patience. A typical procedure could take eight to 10 sessions.

Her newest venture, Project Erase Hate, enables those with gang-related or racist tattoos to receive a half-off discount. She’s even starting to take online donations that go toward helping those who need hateful tattoos removed but can’t afford it – even with the discount. Hester does this through

her one-woman business, Fade Out, located inside the larger Monolith Tattoo Studio.

Mostly, she’s looking to “help those who rushed into it too fast, or didn’t do their research.” Clients can choose to either fade old ink and cover it up with new art, or fade it until it’s gone.

“It’s my way of giving back,” she says, “so people can move forward with their lives.” SW Fade Out/Project Erase Hate 1050 SE 3rd St., Bend fadeoutbend.com/project-erase-hate 541-636-1565

that have extensive wait times because they’re delicious and very popular, that we can be a spot to wait, almost,” says tasting room manager Kristen Buwalda. “And there are so many people that work downtown or pass through downtown, it’s an easy place to pick up a bottle,” Buwalda says.

“We really want to be a one stop shop to grab a cocktail, grab a bottle and grab your mixers and go home and have an excellent night all by yourself… or with friends.”

Still, those mini cocktails they serve onsite are mighty delicious.

On a recent visit, we bellied up to a bar lined with a number of cocktails (one at a time, per person, of course),

“And there are so many people that work downtown or pass through downtown, it’s an easy place to pick up a bottle.”

— KRISTEN BUWALDA Don’t call it a bar. It’s a tasting room, intended for travelers and locals alike to pop in and pop out. The tasting room’s somewhat unique OLCC license doesn’t require the space to serve food, the cocktails are minisized, and each person is limited to a total of 2.5 ounces of alcohol per visit.

Nestled between the Deschutes Brewery Public House and Café Sintra in downtown Bend, it’s an inviting spot for all that popping.

“There’s so many places nearby

including a Back Alley Martini served with Hatch Green Chile Vodka, lime juice and vanilla syrup, the Oregon Bulldog with Hazelnut Espresso Vodka, half & half and Coca Cola… and to temper the sweet stuff, a Ruby D Specialty Tonic with Crater Lake Gin. In addition to its own products, Crater Lake Spirits also proffers local products including Ruby D’s Tonics out of Eugene, Portland Bloody Mary mix, and others.

Empty Bowls: Good food, good cause.

Looking for a way to get out and about, and to benefit a good cause at the same time? This might be your jam. Tickets are now on sale for the 4th annual Empty Bowls fundraiser, taking place at Ridgeview High School in Redmond March 26.

Here’s how it works: students from the ceramics classes at Redmond and Ridgeview high schools craft artisanal ceramic bowls. Then the culinary students from Ridgeview whip up a meal of hot soup, rolls and other refreshments for attendees to enjoy. Attendees walk away with a full belly and one of the ceramic bowls. The proceeds from the event this year benefit Jericho Road, which provides food and transitional housing to the local homeless population. “…It’s a great combination of showcasing the beautiful work of our high school students—both the bowls and the food, and fundraising for a good cause,” said Ridgeview High School Assistant Principal Jensine Peterson.

Empty Bowls Fundraiser

Downtowners can now stop into Crater Lake Spirits for a mini-cocktail and purchase a bottle to take home.

ou’re leaving work downtown and the mood to whip up a locally-made martini strikes you on the way home. While you could head over to one of the liquor stores that hover in the nether regions of Bend (read: away from downtown), nowadays, you don’t necessarily have to.

Another option now available to you: pop in for a mini cocktail in a swank new space featuring clean lines and elegant tile along Bond Street, and grab a bottle on your way out.

That’s just the type of experience that the owners of the Crater Lake Spirits Downtown Tasting Room want you to have in their new space, which opened in late February.

By Nicole Vulcan

whip up something tasty at home fairly easily too. Buwalda recommends this combo: “Ice cream with hazelnut espresso is where it’s at.”

The tasting room is the company’s second tasting room—and the second time it’s had a presence in downtown Bend. An earlier tasting room, now closed, was located on Brooks Street.

Like that location, the new downtown tasting room aims to serve the people who might not make it out to its Tumalo location.

“Tourists don’t always know about Tumalo, and it’s a bit of a drive, and most tourists walk around downtown with all of the festivals in the summer and winter, and so it’s a really easy way to educate people who are not necessarily from Bend about our products,” says Buwalda.

With its fresh, modern-yet-traditional look, the new space is definitely a departure from the other places you might find yourself picking up a bottle. It’s arguably the cheapest place to find a bottle of Crater Lake Spirits in the city, to boot.

You’ve heard about sanctuary cities. But what about sanctuary restaurants?

Here’s how it works: Sanctuary Restaurants is a joint project of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United and Presente.org, created with a mission of “a place at the table for everyone.” Rather than being a legal distinction, the Sanctuary Restaurants movement is meant as a symbolic gesture aimed at giving restaurant workers, employers and customers a set of known locations that are committed to “creating affirming and safe environments in our restaurants for all,” and to “stand with diverse communities to help protect their liberties, dignities, and freedoms.”

As of late February, more than 300 restaurants, including Strictly Organic Coffee Company in Bend and numerous others in Eugene, Portland, Astoria and other Oregon locations, had signed onto be part of this symbolic movement. sanctuaryrestaurants.org

10 Barrel, Brewpub Chain New openings in Denver and San Diego

Roll out the barrels, as in 10 Barrel’s new brewpubs in Denver, pictured and soon to open in San Diego.

I

t could be difficult to imagine for the Bendites (and their dogs) who pack around the bonfire pit every weekend on Galveston Avenue, but 10 Barrel Brewing Company has become a brewery with a national presence, one that even rivals Deschutes in spots. This is thanks to two things: An A-B InBev-affiliated distribution market that takes Joe and Pray for Snow as far as Boston, and a series of brewpub launches in what can only be described as rock star locations.

After opening new taprooms in Boise, Idaho, and Portland, over the past few years, 10 Barrel is poised to expand its real estate presence across the western United States. The grand opening for the Denver location was in late January, and a new spot in the East Village area of San Diego is set to launch any day now, despite some initial opposition from local brewers questioning InBev’s brewery/distributor acquisition strategy.

The Denver brewpub is in the middle of the River North neighborhood, one undergoing what can only be described as late-state gentrification.

A former derelict warehouse district east of Coors Field, RiNo is now home to luxury apartments, trendy bars and about a dozen craft beer and cider makers. These run the gamut from holes-in-the-wall such as Black Shirt and Beryl’s to large production facilities including Great Divide and Epic

Brewing. Even Blue Moon, the sort-ofcraft label owned by Coors, operates a large tasting room here, with 24 taps of surprisingly fine beer made on-site.

So what can 10 Barrel offer to this neighborhood that nobody else can? A killer location, for one. The 8,000-square-foot building it’s in puts the 20-barrel brewing system front and center behind the bar, making visitors feel like they’re practically taking their pints right from the tanks. Tables and bar space ring this system, and a stairway snakes up to the rooftop, where (like in the Portland joint) there’s a second bar and some excellent views of the city skyline.

The beer is certainly up to snuff, too. Joe and S1NIST0R are available, of course, but locally-made beers—created by Kay Witkiewicz, formerly of Twisted Pine Brewing in Boulder—are starting to appear on the menu. Kay’s first beer was Secret Sauce, a fine, citrus-y IPA, but he’s been rocking the boat with some of his latest stuff, including the Riding Tandem imperial IPA and Riled Oats, a 3.8 percent oatmeal pale ale that tastes great on nitro.

(Ben Shirley, a veteran at 10 Barrel’s Bend facility, will serve as brewmaster in San Diego.)

Can Kay and the rest of the team wow the locals in one of the few states crazier about beer than Oregon? So far, they seem to be making all the right moves. SW

American Prophet

James Baldwin is Not Your Negro

By Jared Rasic

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is —JAMES BALDWIN faced.”

Magnolia FIlms

“I Am Not Your Negro” is a powerful look at American race relations.

creating an incendiary look at how little progress has been made over the last 50 years. Juxtaposing imagery from Birmingham, Alabama or the Watts protests of the 1960s with modern footage of the Ferguson unrest of 2014-2015 gives the film the proper amount of rage it deserves.

The message of this documentary might be lost on anyone who has ever said “All Lives Matter” or compared Syrian refugees to Skittles—a shame since these are the people who need to see this profoundly important documentary the most. Anyone who has ever used the term “social justice warrior” as a pejorative should have their

eyes pinned open while watching this, “A Clockwork Orange” style.

The irony is not lost on me that I'm a lower class white male in Central Oregon writing his opinion about a documentary that serves as a ragefilled autopsy for modern race relations. Maybe it's not quite as ironic as the president tweeting about whether the title “Black-ish” is racist or not, but it's up there. “I Am Not Your Negro” is important, as are the words of James Baldwin which ring prophetic in my ears: “The future of the negro in this country is precisely as bright or as dark as the future of the country. It is entirely up to the American people

and our representatives whether or not they're going to face and deal with and embrace this stranger whom they have relied on so long. What white people have to do is try to find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a nigger in the first place. Because I am not a nigger. I am a man. But if you think I'm a nigger, it means you need it.” SW I Am Not Your Negro Dir. Raoul Peck Grade: A Tin Pan Theater

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 11 / March 16, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

The sometimes-brilliant ABC comedy “Black-ish” focuses on an upper-class mixed race family as they try to hold on to some of their culture while existing in a mostly-white community. A few weeks ago the show did an episode on the recent election and what the reaction was within the black community. When the oldest son becomes politicized and starts quoting Medgar Evers and Malcolm X, his grandfather brings up the importance of James Baldwin, who, to his deep disappointment, his grandson is not familiar with.

I can relate, since I, too, was unfamiliar with Baldwin’s works.

James Baldwin was a queer black intellectual, social critic, poet, playwright, essayist and novelist who primarily wrote about racism in the United States and the death of modern humanism. In 1979, he announced his next book project as “Remember this House,” an autobiographical examination of his friendships with Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. By the time of his death in 1987, Baldwin had only written 30 or so pages of notes, but they ring just as true today as they would have then.

“I Am Not Your Negro” beautifully melds the unfinished words of Baldwin's memoir with historical footage curated by director Raoul Peck.

Samuel L. Jackson somberly narrates using only Baldwin's eloquent words,

GET OUT: A thriller about a biracial couple navigating the thinly-veiled racism of their community, with many psychologically-thrilling twists. See full review on p 27. Old Mill Stadium 16 HIDDEN FIGURES: Taraji P. Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, one of the key mathematical minds that helped put John Glenn into orbit during the Space Race. Watching Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae take on a sexist and racist NASA while doing twice the work as everyone else is inspiring, but also infuriating.

Old Mill Stadium 16 I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO: This incendiary documentary uses the words of queer black intellectual James Baldwin to draw parallels between the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and modern race relations. While this movie might just be preaching to the choir, it’s something that every American should see. Prepare to be angry. See full review on p37.

THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE: There's no reason why "The Lego Movie" should have worked as well as it did, but somehow it did and Batman was one of the breakout characters.

THE SHACK: Based on the religious book that

Death Wish of a Salesman

Iranian master Asghar Farhadi returns with a new film set in Tehran

39

Habib Majidi

Taraneh Alidoosti looks out on the wreckage of her life in “The Salesman.”

I

n what is probably the only-on-thenose metaphor of the entire film, “The Salesman” opens in an apartment building nearing collapse. Due to construction next door the foundations of the building are falling away, evidenced by the deep cracks forming along our protagonists’ bedroom walls.

Married couple Emad and Rana rush around their crumbling apartment grabbing everything of import before the building comes tumbling down.

Set in modern day Tehran, “The Salesman” features a storyline and a set of characters that are equally layered and complicated. Emad and Rana are both starring in a community production of “Death of a Salesman” while managing day jobs on the side. When one of their co-stars offers to rent them a shabby but spacious apartment just a few blocks away from their old place, they jump at the opportunity.

Shortly after moving in, an intruder attacks Rana and she receives a nasty head wound, thus changing not just the dynamic of the living space, but the couple’s entire relationship.

Rana becomes a bundle of anxiety, afraid to stay home alone and always wanting Emad around. At the same time, she can’t deal with intimacy. Emad is obsessed with finding his wife’s attacker. He blames himself for not being there to protect his wife, but he’s also becoming disillusioned with Rana’s newfound fears and apprehensions. As they struggle through life during the day, they reconnect at night to perform the play.

Director Asghar Farhadi is a master at escalating tension in ways both naturalistic and Hitchcockian. Even during scenes of quiet conversation or intense contemplation there are always

a dozen things swirling beneath the surface, ready to bust. “The Salesman” is infused with Farhadi’s razor-sharp ability to find the tiniest moments of disillusion in relationships, while also creating a neorealist thriller.

Farhadi is far too much of a master filmmaker to be overt in the film’s parallels to “Death of a Salesman,” but the thematic undertow pulls the audience along anyway. Willy Loman, the titular salesman from Arthur Miller’s classic, is a man desperate to be remembered.

He fights back against being a disappointment to his family and, in doing so, thoroughly alienates himself from them. Meanwhile, Emad feels responsibility toward Rana to find out who hurt her, regardless of her wishes. In doing so he exemplifies the toxic masculinity they both despise.

All of the characters in “The Salesman” are playing roles; not just in the play they are a part of, but also in their moment-to-moment existence. Emad is an amateur sleuth searching for revenge. Rana seeks to find strength as she moves on from a violent encounter.

The people they once were are gone and only these new facsimiles remain to move them through the day. Each of us has a character we play, if not for ourselves then the world around us.

“The Salesman” wants us to look at the characters we play and, hopefully, to find a bit541-617-0513 of ourselves. SW

20/40/60: Indoor Climbing

It’s almost spring. Time to get pumped up for outdoor sportsing!

By Magdalena Bokowa, Nicole Vulcan and Anna Bokowa

Magdalena Bokowa, 20-something I hang out with a lot, and I mean, a lot of really good climbers: The ones who live in their Astros, take trips to mythical-sounding places and live frugally (i.e occasionally dumpster-dive) in order to chase that next high. So I’ve always wanted to: 1. Finally understand their excitement over multi-pitches 2. Experience that “mind-body-soul” connection they rave on about (“it’s just totally intense zen, man”) and, 3. Go over to an unsuspecting dude and FINALLY say, “Hey, nice rack.”

Plus, it’s cool that a day “climbing” can equate to mostly sitting, munching

on a half-eaten wrap while watching other people climb and yelling inspiring words of encouragement. Sounds just like my kind of sport.

But my climbing shoes had been collecting dust since my forays into bouldering had been dismal, to say the least. I’d get on the wall, worry about “falling correctly” and not-so-covertly freak out. It’d leave me cranky and embarrassed while I’d whine, wimp out and blame things like “the rock’s too hard/soft/jagged/scary/hot/full-of-badenergy.” Turns out, all you need to turn that frown upside down is a harness.

And a can-do attitude. And a soft-spoken, metaphor-using, climbing pro who just so happens to be the gym’s director of operations. Or any other super positive friend who puts you at ease and high fives you all the time… even when you wimp out halfway up the wall.

(Not-so) Pro-Tip: Skip the bouldering, grab a harness and try the auto-belay wall where you can take your time honing your skills without worrying about crashing. You don’t even need a partner!

Nicole Vulcan, almost 40-something As a former resident of the beautiful (and granite-rich, and sacred) Black Hills, this wasn’t my first foray into climbing, indoors or out. Still, it’s the first time I’ve done it in a few years— and apparently, my body has been counting those years like an overzealous accountant. Our guide, Director of Operations Rich Bruner, walked us through the Gym Intro Class—the offering meant for climbing rookies such as us—with patience and humor, explaining the various rating systems for bouldering versus rope climbing so we’d know where to start on the auto belay. That’s one big benefit of learning this sport in an indoor setting: You can follow color-coded routes (or in bouldering, “problems”) to the top, letting you stay within your comfort zone.

After a few rounds on the auto belay, I was ready for the actual partner belay experience. That went over

Anna Bokowa, a young 50-something (the closest we could get to 60-ish for this article…)

When my daughter told me what we were going to do after I had just spent the whole day traveling from Canada to see her (two planes, a four-hour drive AND we almost died crossing Third Street before getting to her house!), I thought “What now? Are you crazy?” She always does these kinds of things to me. “You’re going scuba diving,” was the last great idea.

“It’ll be safe,” she said, and then I got attacked by a sea snake. So, yes I was nervous, knowing her and her ideas, but I’m Polish so we’re built strong, and if your crazy daughter challenges you, you have to do it.

I liked it. We could do it all together. It didn’t matter how far I went or that my son could go all the way to the top, we got to spend the afternoon together as a family and I would do it again. Hey, maybe I’ll be a rock climber in my older age, ha-ha. Imagine that. SW Bend Rock Gym

well too, so I ended the afternoon on the bouldering walls. For noobs like us, "bouldering" means climbing without ropes, typically on shorter walls of 15 feet or less.

And that, readers, is where things kinda fell apart. Apparently, when you’re nearing 40, you can’t simply jump from a height of 12 feet to dismount a bouldering problem—and you certainly can’t try to be funny and do it jauntily to amuse your friends.

Perhaps you tweak an elbow on the landing. Perhaps your teeth clack together and give you a neck ache the rest of the week. I have to stress though that none of this was because of the facility or the training. Nope. It was because 40.

t doesn’t look all that imposing from the outside, but step inside the doors of Bend Rock Gym and the specter of its 50-foot walls plays large. At a size of 20,000-square-feet, and with one of the highest number of auto belay routes on the West coast, BRG has it goin’ on. But with nearby Smith Rock being the birthplace of American sport climbing, it’s no wonder that Bend would have a rock gym with chops like these.

That’s all great for the avid climber—but what about noobs like us?

How would we fare amid the looming terror of 50-foot walls? With spring approaching and our upper bodies sorely out of shape from a season of slope-riding, we were willing to give it a try.

In addition to the bouldering walls, the auto belay walls (which allow newbies and loners alike to climb high without a partner) and the other plentiful climbing terrain, the gym boasts a fitness center with weights and cardio equipment, yoga and meditation classes, and more. In terms of indoor climbing (or even just getting in shape surrounded by other good-looking people), it’s something of an indoor climbing mecca.

Whether us (highly attractive) amateurs really needed a true climbing mecca, or just a place to mess around, this is our take.

jackstraw understory, and the forest fire requirements to eliminate that jackstraw understory, known as “ladder fuels.” This conflict has been eliminated in some areas with the installation of nesting platforms large enough to allow the owlets to remain in the nest to fledging.

Unfortunately, like most owls, the great gray selects nests that are handy and don’t have to even resemble a “nest.” They like to choose a nesting site located on the edge of forests, close to their favorite food supply. The so-called “nest” is often a broken-off tree about 20 to 40 feet high. The (sort-of) flat surface with broken parts of the stub seems to meet with approval for great grays. The female lays her eggs in among the stub’s debris, fluffs up her skirt and somehow keeps the babies warm as they hatch.

Within two weeks, however, there’s no room at the inn. Baby owls—especially great grays—grow very rapidly. Mom and dad are great providers, so within two weeks or so their babies grow to twice their birth size and begin shoving each other around.

If the “nest” is in a broken off lodgepole pine, or an old accipiter nest, and if there are two or more babies, they soon begin pushing against each other so harshly that one or more is pushed out of the nest. Most nests are somewhat out of the way of visitors, so no one comes along to see the “poor little baby owl” on the ground. That’s OK though, since nature took care of that business of the great grays falling out of nests a long time ago. Baby great gray owls have enormous feet, and

The owls have it: a great gray at left, and a barred owl at right.

with those long toes, sharp talons and strong legs, they can climb small trees like nobody’s business.

That’s when the jackstraw understory comes into play. The baby owl climbs to the top of the stick — sometimes doing it vertically—and starts squawking for food. The parents take care of the stranded owl as if it were still in the nest, and often, the youngster will remain on the top of that pole, being taken care of by the adult—even after it fledges.

On the other hand, barred owls will use an old raptor, magpie nest, or pike of sticks that holds all the babies in the nest to fledging time, and as generalists, can make a living on just about anything small that moves within 1/2 mile of the nest, be it birds, frogs, snakes, lizards, mice, gophers or even stinky baby skunks.

But all this may come to naught if a “Tiger of the Air”—the great horned owl—moves into or already occupies the area. No owl is safe when one of those tigers moves in or lives there.

Even smaller, cavity-nesting species, such as northern elf, ferruginous, sawwhet, screech and flammulated owls will leave a nesting territory if a great horned shows up.

Years ago I helped to conduct a northern spotted owl survey for the Forest Service. One of the protocols dictated that if a great horned answered the spotted owl survey call, you were to fold up shop and leave the area immediately. South of Gilchrist, I had a calling site like that. All it took was one spotted owl call, and a great horned responded with gusto. I hit the trail, literally.

When it comes to strange calls or sightings, do your best to obtain a “voucher photo.” That’s really the only way to be sure what you’re observing is, or is not, what you think. If you show it to local bird experts such as Tom Crabtree of Bend or Chuck Gates of Powell Butte, you’ll find that what they say it is is gospel. Additionally, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife non-game biologist Simon Wray of Bend’s Central Region office is on top of every call he gets.But even if you don’t have a photo, please don’t hesitate to share any special wildlife observation you may encounter.

ecently I’ve had some interesting phone calls to my home and travelin’ phones, giving me cause to suspect the alien barred owl population (from the eastern United States and Canada) may be on the rise, and people are confusing them with our native great gray owls.

Great grays are owls of the open spaces in the evergreen high country.

They like to hang out on the edges of meadows, hiding in the thick foliage of evergreens, waiting for gophers and other meadow dwellers to show their heads. They’re very uncommon in juniper and sagebrush country, sticking pretty much to high country pine forests and open meadows.

The barred owl, on the other hand, is a generalist; it can get along with just about any small prey, and as far as I know doesn’t give a hoot about what kind of habitat it’s in. They are also a great deal smaller then the great gray, and they seem to be popping up more frequently near Bend and Sisters.

Both species look somewhat alike.

Both have no horns/ears, both have a very noticeable facial disk, and both have similar coloration. However, the distinct differences are in size and eye color. The great gray is gigantic by comparison (bigger than a great horned owl) and has yellow eyes, while the barred is much smaller (about the size of a small chicken) and have allblack eyes, no exceptions.

Great grays were having a tough time of it not too long back—and still are in some areas, because of habitat loss. Unfortunately, there’s a direct conflict between the owls’ need for a

the market comprised about 22 percent of the remaining market, with the $500,000-$800,000 price range comprising 19 percent of those sales.

Meanwhile, the inventory level declined to about 1.5 months. The graph report shows that the biggest declines in available inventory were in the under-$287,999 price range, with a decline of 37.4 percent from March 1, 2016, to March 1, 2017, and a decline of 46.1 percent from 2015 to 2016. The lower end inventory decline is significant while the higher end of the market has pretty much held steady during the same period. Most industry analysts feel that a four-to-six month inventory level is needed for a balanced market that favors neither buyers nor sellers. As should be obvious, most of these analysts are also saying that new construction is not keeping up with housing demand.

he Beacon Report, which is based on real estate statistics from our local Multiple Listing Service, recently came out with February 2017 figures.

This allows some interesting comparisons to last year’s Bend single-family residence sales of 1 acre or less.

According to the report, closed sales in Bend for the month of February 2017 increased by only five transactions over February 2016. Not only were more homes sold, but they were sold at a higher price—as reflected in the median price increase of about 6.6 percent from the prior year, from $332,000 in February 2016 to $354,000 in February 2017.

The largest share of homes sold was in the $100,000 to $350,000 price range, comprising about 48 percent of total home sales. Another 30 percent of home sales fell in the range of $350,000 to $500,000. The remaining home sales for the higher end of

My problem is that I’ll go on one or two dates with a girl and then get the whole “I just wanna be friends.” And they really mean that. They want me to do lunch and go shopping and talk on the phone about their guy problems. How can I nicely tell these girls, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but no, I’m not going to be your friend — and I especially don’t want to hear about your new guy”? I guess the problem boils down to the fact that I don’t want to make a woman mad.

Over and over, you hear the same thing — basically, “Sorry… we have to turn down your application for CEO, but we’d love to have you as our parking attendant.”

By the way, your first problem is that you’re wrong about what your problem is. It isn’t how to TELL a woman you aren’t up for the role of pet eunuch. It’s how to BE the man holding her in his arms instead of the one holding her purse while she’s exploring her options in the tampon section.

Consider what the ladies tend to want — whether the ladies are hermit crabs or humans. Evolutionary biologist Robert Trivers’ theory of “parental investment” explains that in species that provide continuing care for their young after they’re born, females have evolved to go for “dominant” males.

Dominance translates to being more able to “provide protection and material support” (through physical ability, as well as high

social status).

However, the term “dominant” is a little…uh…unrefined. Women aren’t looking to be dragged off into the sunset by some thug. Social psychologist Jerry M. Burger and one of his students, Mica Cosby, took a nuanced look at dominance and found that women overwhelmingly want a man who is “confident” and “assertive” as their ideal date or romantic partner. And though most also want a man who’s “sensitive” and “easygoing,” none — NOT ONE — of the 118 women they surveyed wanted a man who is “submissive.”

Chances are, “submissive” is exactly how you’re coming off. Your pleaserboy bottom line — “I don’t want to make a woman mad” — suggests a hunger for women’s approval and probably leads you to wilt like a man-daisy to avoid even the slightest conflict. Unfortunately, that won’t get you out of the friend zone.

What will is self-respect — and the assertiveness that comes out of it: showing that you Amy Alkon have opinions, needs, and preferences, and tough tostadas if a woman doesn’t like them. This, of course, doesn’t mean being rigidly uncompromising. However, when you do sacrifice your needs, it should be because you feel good about doing something nice — not because you’re dreaming of a day when your “Well, hellooo, gorgeous!” won’t be followed by “Thanks! And I seriously appreciate your watching Senor Fluffyface while I’m on my date.”

ASTROLOGY

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more unselfish and compassionate you are in the coming weeks, the more likely it is you will get exactly what you need.

Here are four ways that can be true: 1. If you’re kind to people, they will want to be kind to you in return. 2. Taking good care of others will bolster their ability to take good care of you. 3. If you’re less obsessed with I-me-mine, you will magically dissolve psychic blocks that have prevented certain folks from giving you all they are inclined to give you. 4. Attending to others’ healing will teach you valuable lessons in how to heal yourself — and how to get the healing you yearn for from others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope you will consider buying yourself some early birthday presents.

The celebration is weeks away, but you need some prodding, instigative energy now. It’s crucial that you bring a dose of the starting-fresh spirit into the ripening projects you’re working on. Your mood might get overly cautious and serious unless you infuse it with the spunk of an excited beginner. Of course only you know what gifts would provide you with the best impetus, but here are suggestions to stimulate your imagination: a young cactus; a jackin-the-box; a rock with the word “sprout” written on it; a decorated marble egg; a fox mask; a Photoshopped image of you flying through the air like a superhero.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many Geminis verbalize profusely and acrobatically. They enjoy turning their thoughts into speech, and love to keep social situations lively with the power of their agile tongues. Aquarians and Sagittarians may rival your tribe for the title of The Zodiac’s Best Bullshitters, but I think you’re in the top spot. Having heaped that praise on you, however, I must note that your words don’t always have as much influence as they have entertainment value. You sometimes impress people more than you impact them. But here’s the good news: In the coming weeks, that could change.

I suspect your fluency will carry a lot of clout. Your communication skills could sway the course of local history.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your world is more spacious than it has been in a long time. Congrats!

I love the way you have been pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and into the wilder frontier. For your next trick, here’s my suggestion: Anticipate the parts of you that may be inclined to close down again when you don’t feel as brave and free as you do now. Then gently clamp open those very parts. If you calm your fears before they break out, maybe they won’t break out at all.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I like rowdy, extravagant longing as much as anyone. I enjoy being possessed by a heedless greed for too much of everything that feels rapturous: delectable food, mysterious sex, engrossing information, liberating intoxication, and surprising conversations that keep me guessing and improvising for hours. But I am also a devotee of simple, sweet longing . . . pure, watchful, patient longing . . . open-hearted longing that brims with innocence and curiosity and is driven as much by the urge to bless as to be blessed. That’s the kind I recommend you explore and experiment with in the coming days.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know that forbidden fruit you’ve had your eyes on? Maybe it isn’t so forbidden any more. It could even be evolving toward a state where it will be both freely available and downright healthy for you to pluck. But there’s

also a possibility that it’s simply a little less risky than it was before. And it may never become a fully viable option. So here’s my advice: Don’t grab and bite into that forbidden fruit yet. Keep monitoring the situation. Be especially attentive to the following questions: Do you crave the forbidden fruit because it would help you flee a dilemma you haven’t mustered the courage to escape from? Or because it would truly be good for you to partake of the forbidden fruit?

47 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 11 / March 16, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like some free healing that’s in alignment with cosmic rhythms? Try this experiment. Imagine that you’re planning to write your autobiography. Create an outline that has six chapters. Each of the first three chapters will be about a past experience that helped make you who you are. In each of the last three chapters, you will describe a desirable event that you want to create in the future. I also encourage you to come up with a boisterous title for your tale. Don’t settle for *My Life So Far* or *The Story of My Journey.* Make it idiosyncratic and colorful, perhaps even outlandish, like Piscean author Dave Eggers’ *A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.*

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will get more than your usual share of both sweetness and tartness in the coming days. Sometimes one or the other will be the predominant mode, but on occasion they will converge to deliver a complex brew of WOW!meets-WTF! Imagine chunks of sour apples in your vanilla fudge ripple ice cream. Given this state of affairs, there’s no good reason for you to be blandly kind or boringly polite. Use a saucy attitude to convey your thoughtfulness. Be as provocative as you are tender. Don’t just be nice — be impishly and subversively nice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I want to gather your darkness in my hands, to cup it like water and drink.” So says Jane Hirshfield in her poem “To Drink.” I bet she was addressing a Scorpio. Does any other sign of the zodiac possess a sweet darkness that’s as delicious and gratifying as yours?

Yes, it’s true that you also harbor an unappetizing pocket of darkness, just like everyone else. But that sweet kind — the ambrosial, enigmatic, exhilarating stuff — is not only safe to imbibe, but can also be downright healing. In the coming days, I hope you’ll share it generously with worthy recipients.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Saturn has been in your sign steadily since September 2015, and will continue to be there until December 2017.

Some traditional astrologers might say you are in a phase of downsizing and self-restraint. They’d encourage you to be extra strict and serious and dutiful. To them, the ringed planet is an exacting taskmaster. There are some grains of truth in this perspective, but I like to emphasize a different tack. I say that if you cooperate with the rigors of Saturn, you’ll be inspired to become more focused and decisive and disciplined as you shed any flighty or reckless tendencies you might have. Yes, Saturn can be adversarial if you ignore its commands to be faithful to your best dreams. But if you respond gamely, it will be your staunch ally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Born in the African nation of Burkina Faso, Malidoma Somé is a teacher who writes books and offers workshops to Westerners interested in the spiritual traditions of his tribe. In his native Dagaare language, his first name means “he who befriends the stranger/enemy.” I propose that we make you an honorary “Malidoma” for the next three weeks. It will be a favorable time to forge connections, broker truces, and initiate collaborations with influences you have previously considered foreign or alien.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): EVERY relationship has problems. No exceptions. In the beginning, all may be calm and bright, but eventually cracks will appear. Here’s the corollary to that rule: EVERY partner is imperfect. Regardless of how cool, kind, attractive, or smart they may seem in the early stages, they will eventually unveil their unique flaws and troubles. Does this mean that all togetherness is doomed? That it’s forever impossible to create satisfying unions? The answer is HELL, NO! — especially if you keep the following principles in mind: Choose a partner whose problems are: 1. interesting; 2. tolerable; 3. useful in prodding you to grow; 4. all of the above.
